Protect him whose father is dead; remove the dust from his rainment, and injure him not. Thou knowest not how hard is his condition; no foliage is there on a root/ess tree. Give not a kiss to a child of thine own in the sight of a helpless orphan. If the latter weep, who will assuage his grief? If he be angered, who will bear his burden? See that he weeps not, for the throne of Allah trembles at the orphan's lament. With pity, wipe the tears from his eyes and the dust from his face. If the protecting shadow of his father's care be gone, cherish him beneath the shadow of thy care.

A 'Tabi came to the house of Aisha (??? ???? ????) and said O mother of the believers, tell us about earthquakes, Aisha (??? ???? ????) said anytime zina (fornication) becomes rife and a lot of wine is drunk, consumed, and musical instruments becomes rife, singing girls, the earth rebels against the crimes that are being committed on top of her so she shakes and causes buildings to tumble down and swallow the people up so the Tabi said how are we supposed to interpret this (i.e. natural disasters earthquakes), she said a punishment for the disbelievers and a reminder to the believers, so in these times with events like these happening around us we are supposed to take lesson as it is a sign of Allah and RETURN to our deen. (Natural Disasters by Shaikh Faisal)

The first is advise to the pseudo (extreme) Salafis and the second is advise to the pseudo (extreme) Sufis and narrow minded peeps hiding on the net and forums under 'traditional' prefixes, it's some really golden advise that will go down in Islamic history, lots of us woke up to it when the divide and conquer people invaded our lands and stabbed you in the back while you were debating and ripping each others heads off and now we have our brothers from each group united against the 'dived and conquer people' working to make that change, whilst the rest still debating can be seen by the whole world for the kawarij they are.
