The Noble Shaykh Rabī’ al-Madkhalī (may Allāh preserve him) stated:
There is some speech that the scholars say, and it’s possible we can name it as a principle. It is that “Men are known by the truth and the truth is not known by men.” Continue reading
The Noble Imam, Shaykh Muhammad Ibn Saalih al-‘Uthaymeen (may Allah preserve him) stated:
Many from amongst the students of knowledge have concern for the Sunnah and its explanation along with knowing its men (from the chains of narrations) and its sciences (or terminology). However if you were to ask him about a verse from the Book of Allah, you will see that he is ignorant of it. This is a big mistake. It is a must that the Book and the Sunnah are two wings for you, O Student of knowledge.

The Noble Shaykh Saalih al-Fawzaan (may Allah preserve him) stated:
It is known that obligations are not (mandated) upon the child who hasn’t reached puberty–not the prayer or other than it until he (or she) reaches puberty. The Messenger of Allah (sallallaahu ‘alayhi wa sallam) stated:
The pen is lifted from three (people). The one sleeping until he awakes. The child until he has a wet dream (i.e reaches puberty). And from the insane person until he comes to his senses.
However the child is commanded with making it. Therefore his guardian commands him with the prayer when he reaches the age of seven and he has with him (the ability to) distinguish (between matters) and he knows what is said to him and that which he is commanded with. Therefore he is to be commanded with the prayer, not because it is obligatory upon him, he is only commanded with it as an exercise for him. Meaning as a means of getting him accustomed to the prayer until he becomes trained upon making it and he knows its importance. And as a result he grows up upon that so when he reaches puberty he is accustomed to the prayer. Continue reading

:قال العلامة الشيخ صالح الفوزان حفظه الله
:من المعلوم أن الصبي الذي لم يبلغ ليس عليه واجبات، لا صلاة ولا غيرها حتى يبلغ، قال صلى الله عليه و سلم ))
.رفع القلم عن ثلاثة عن النائم حتى يستيقظ وعن الصبي حتى يحتلم وعن المجنون حتى يعقل
ولكن الصبي يؤمر بها، فيأمره وليّه بالصلاة إذا بلغ سبع سنين يكون عنده تمييز ومعرفة فيما يقال له وما يؤمر به، فيؤمر بالصلاة لا على أنها واجبة عليه، وإنما يؤمر بها تمريناً له أي: تعويداً له بالصلاة حتى يتمرّن عليها ويعرف أهميتها، فينشأ على ذلك، فإذا بلغ فإذا هو قد تمرن على الصلاة و تعلم طهارتها وتعلم كيف يؤدّيها فهذا فيه تربية له على الصلاة وهذا يدل على أهمية الصلاة وأنها أول ما يؤمر به الأطفال، فهي في حقّه نافلة، وأما أمره بها من قبل الولي فهذا أمر واجب على الولي فيجب على وليّه أن يأمره بها لأن النبيّ صلى الله عليه وسلم أمر الوليّ بذلك فقال
.مروا أولادكم بالصلاة وهم أبناء سبع سنين واضربوهم عليها وهم أبناء عشر وفرّقوا بينهم في المضاجع
The Noble Scholar Ahmad Ibn Yahyaa an-Najmi (may Allah have mercy upon him) was asked:
What do you advise the Muslim with in these days of ours?
Answer:

Shaykhul-Islām ibn Taymiyyah (may Allāh have mercy upon him) mentioned regarding Ḥizbiyyah:
As for the leader of the Ḥizb, he is the head of the group which has become a Ḥizb. If they are united upon that which Allāh has commanded with, as well as His Messenger without any addition or subtraction, then they are believers. For them is that which is for them and upon them is that which is upon them. And if they have indeed added to that or subtracted (from it) – like having Taʿaṣṣub (fanaticism) for whoever enters into their Ḥizb (group/party) based upon the truth and falsehood and turning away from the one who has not entered into their Ḥizb whether he is upon the truth or falsehood – then this is from the separation (into groups and parties) which Allāh and His Messenger have condemned.

:سؤال وجّه إلى العلامة الشيخ ربيع حفظه الله
س: “هل من الوسائل لإصلاح حال الأمة الإسلامية اليوم القيام بالتفجيرات والاغتيالات للمنشآت الحكومية الكافرة؟
ج: الإسلام من أعظم مزاياه: الوفاء بالعهود والوفاء بالوعد ولو للكفار. ومن خصال المؤمنين: عدم الخيانة وعدم الغدر. قد حصلت قصة للمغيرة بن شعبة, أن رافق جماعة من المشركين وكان ذلك في حال شركهم وسافروا إلى الشام أو مصر في تجارة, وحصلوا على مال فباتوا ليلة فهجم عليهم فقتلهم وأخذ مالهم, وجاء إلى النبيّ صلى الله عليه وسلم مسلماً وقدم له المال وأخبره بالقصة, فقال صلى الله عليه وسلم:
