💐 In The Name Of Allah The Most Gracious The Most Merciful
💌 There are three things that Allah Subhaanahu wa Ta'aala hates yet they are common among many communities:
Overspending unnecessarily or being reckless with one's wealth, asking too many questions which are more harmful than beneficial, and spreading gossip, busily discussing others' personal matters while forgetting one's own issues.
🔸 Examples of wasting money which we should avoid: YouTube vloggers uploading videos of themselves resting in a bathtub loaded with tons of ramen noodles or cereal, so-called 'food challenges' in which competitive eaters try to consume a gigantic platter of expensive dishes that can suffice an entire village, and using one's savings to regularly enjoy a lavish vacation around several European countries instead of performing Hajj at least once in their lifetime.
🔸 Examples of excessive questioning which we ought to abstain from: Asking too many questions about how a person obtained their education and still suspecting their background in spite of their clarifications. Questioning why a particular legislation or Islamic ruling is legislated, such as the obligation of the hijaab and the permissibility of polygyny - not to genuinely comprehend its virtues but to reach a conclusion that it's unnecessary according to your flawed understanding. And attempting to disturb religious scholars or lecturers with numerous questions not to eagerly learn more about Islam but to be a troublesome troll, checking how knowledgeable, persuasive and eloquent they are.
🔸 Examples of unproductive talks that are better off avoided: Discussing other people's marriages in depth and evaluating why this person decided to ask for divorce, complaining about how much you dislike working alongside a specific boss or colleague and your complaint doesn't improve your circumstances at all, and
chatting about how you're arguably correct concerning why you ship certain celebrities and what caused them to look compatible together. Conversations that don't strengthen your faith/Imaan or which cannot produce any positive value can be idealistically substituted with frequent Qur'an recitation, Du'as and Dhikr.

📖 Ibn Abbas RadhiAllahu 'anhuma narrated: The Messenger of Allah SallAllahu 'alaihi wa sallam passed by two graves and he said, "Both of them are being punished, but not for a major sin. As for this man, he did not prevent his urine from soiling him. And as for this man, he would spread gossip." The Prophet SallAllahu 'alaihi wa sallam then asked for a green leaf from a date-palm. The Prophet SallAllahu 'alaihi wa sallam split it into two pieces and planted one on each grave, and he said, "It is hoped that their punishment may be abated until those two leaves become dry."
