Bribery
Jun 16, 2025 12:22 PM

  [Quran 2:188]. Ath-Thahabi commented that, “or send it [in bribery] to the rulers”, means: do not buy them off with this wealth or induce them to confer to you the rights of others, while knowing of its impermissibility.

  [Quran 5:62]

  Therefore, whoever indulges in bribery will bear a great load of sin on his or her neck and will be questioned about it on the Day of Resurrection.

White Lies: Are They Permissible?

Ostentation
  There is an abundance of proof in the Quran and Sunnah regarding the impermissibility of ostentation; and those who show off are often dispraised, as when Allah The Almighty Said (what means): {So woe to those who pray*[But] who are heedless of their prayer -*those who make show [of their...

Fascination with this world

Satan's gateways to the heart
  The heart is like a fort and Satan the advancing enemy, who is intent on infiltrating and occupying it.

Yet, a person who is unacquainted with the structure of the fortress, particularly its access points, cannot...
