Sorah Al-A'la ( The Most High ) - Verses Number 19
سَبِّحِ اسْمَ رَبِّكَ الْأَعْلَى ( 1 ) 
Glorify the name of thy Guardian-Lord Most High,
الَّذِي خَلَقَ فَسَوَّىٰ ( 2 )
Who hath created, and further, given order and proportion;
وَالَّذِي قَدَّرَ فَهَدَىٰ ( 3 )
Who hath ordained laws. And granted guidance;
وَالَّذِي أَخْرَجَ الْمَرْعَىٰ ( 4 )
And Who bringeth out the (green and luscious) pasture,
فَجَعَلَهُ غُثَاءً أَحْوَىٰ ( 5 )
And then doth make it (but) swarthy stubble.
سَنُقْرِئُكَ فَلَا تَنسَىٰ ( 6 )
By degrees shall We teach thee to declare (the Message), so thou shalt not forget,
إِلَّا مَا شَاءَ اللَّهُ ۚ إِنَّهُ يَعْلَمُ الْجَهْرَ وَمَا يَخْفَىٰ ( 7 )
Except as Allah wills: For He knoweth what is manifest and what is hidden.
وَنُيَسِّرُكَ لِلْيُسْرَىٰ ( 8 )
And We will make it easy for thee (to follow) the simple (Path).
فَذَكِّرْ إِن نَّفَعَتِ الذِّكْرَىٰ ( 9 )
Therefore give admonition in case the admonition profits (the hearer).
سَيَذَّكَّرُ مَن يَخْشَىٰ ( 10 )
The admonition will be received by those who fear (Allah):
وَيَتَجَنَّبُهَا الْأَشْقَى ( 11 )
But it will be avoided by those most unfortunate ones,
الَّذِي يَصْلَى النَّارَ الْكُبْرَىٰ ( 12 )
Who will enter the Great Fire,
ثُمَّ لَا يَمُوتُ فِيهَا وَلَا يَحْيَىٰ ( 13 )
In which they will then neither die nor live.
قَدْ أَفْلَحَ مَن تَزَكَّىٰ ( 14 )
But those will prosper who purify themselves,
وَذَكَرَ اسْمَ رَبِّهِ فَصَلَّىٰ ( 15 )
And glorify the name of their Guardian-Lord, and (lift their hearts) in prayer.
بَلْ تُؤْثِرُونَ الْحَيَاةَ الدُّنْيَا ( 16 )
Day (behold), ye prefer the life of this world;
وَالْآخِرَةُ خَيْرٌ وَأَبْقَىٰ ( 17 )
But the Hereafter is better and more enduring.
إِنَّ هَٰذَا لَفِي الصُّحُفِ الْأُولَىٰ ( 18 )
And this is in the Books of the earliest (Revelation),-
صُحُفِ إِبْرَاهِيمَ وَمُوسَىٰ ( 19 )
The Books of Abraham and Moses.

- The ruling concerning Mawlid an-NabawiIn this book, Shaikh Saleh al-Fawzan has enumerated several reasons behind the prohibition of celebrating the Mawlid, and explicitly clarified the major doubts raised up by the proponents of Mawlid; and this includes the claims that, Celebration of Mawlid is honouring the Prophet, Mawlid is celebrated by a large number of people in many towns and cities, Commemorating Mawlid renews the memories of the Prophet, Mawlid is a Bidah Husna (good innovation) because it is a means of showing gratitude towards Allah for sending the Prophet. The saying of Umar, ‘What a good Bidah is this?’ Celebration of Mawlid an-Nabawi is out of love for the Prophet and an expression of one's love, which is permissible.

- The Etiquette of Seeking KnowledgeThe Etiquette of Seeking Knowledge ... to adorn oneself with beautiful etiquette, noble manners, good behaviour, and pious conduct are distinguishing characteristics of the people of Islam, and knowledge - the most precious pearl in the crown of the purified Shariah - cannot be attained except by those who adorn themselves with its etiquette and those who leave evil qualities associated to it. For this reason the scholars devoted their attention to this etiquette, outlined its importance and wrote books solely on this topic; either pertaining to (general conduct] with all types of knowledge or to specific types of knowledge such as the etiquette of the carriers of the Noble Quran, the etiquette of the muhaddith, the etiquette of the mufti, the etiquette of the qazi (judge), the etiquette of the muhtasib (the one who enjoins good and forbids evil for the sake of Allah) and so on. The issue of this book is the general conduct of those who take the path of seeking the knowledge of the Sharee'ah.
