Loosing the Noor & innocence from our Face

Have you ever wondered why so many people who were bright and
beautiful as children however, as they grew older their innocence and
beauty eluded them? Well, wonder no more – Shaykhul-Islaam Ibn
Taymiyyah (rahimahullaah) explains this phenomena to us:
"The person who is righteous and honest, his honesty is manifest from
the radiance on his face, and his honesty can be known from the glow
that is on his face, likewise the (opposite for the) sinful one and
the liar. The older a person gets, the more this sign becomes
apparent. Thus a person as a child would have a brightface, however if
he becomes a sinful person, adamant on committing sins, at the older
stages in his life, an ugly face would manifest that which he used to
internalize, and theopposite is also true. It has been narrated that
Ibn Abbaas (radiyallaahu 'anhu) said,
'Indeed righteousness illuminates the heart, radiates the face,
strengthens the body, increases provision, and produces a love in the
hearts of the creation for that person. Whereas sinfulness darkens the
heart, greys the face, weakens the body, and produces hatred in the
hearts of the creation for that person.'
It is possible that a person may not intentionally lie; he may even be
a person who makes great effort in 'Ibaadah (worship) and hasZuhd
(abstains from pleasures of this life that are lawful). However he has
false, incorrect 'Aqeedah regarding either Allaah, His religion or His
Messenger (sallallaahu 'alayhi wa sallam) or His righteous servants.
And what is on the inside affects what is on the outside. Thus, this
false, incorrect 'Aqeedah that he thought was true and correct
reflects on his face, and his face would be dark in accordance with
the level of falsehood he possesses. As it has been narrated that
'Uthmaan ibnAffaan (radiyallaahu 'anhu) said,
'No one ever hides evil within themselves except that Allaah makes it
manifest from his facial outlook and the statements his tongues
utters.'
Hence some of the Salaf (pious predecessors) used to say,
'If a person of innovation were to dye his beard every day, the dye of
innovation would remain on his face.'
On the day of judgment this would be very clear as Allaah says, "And
on the Day of Resurrection you will see those who lied against Allaah
their faces will be black. Is there not inHell an abode for the
arrogant ones?" [Soorat Az -Zumar, 39:60]
He ta'ala also said, "On the Day when some faces will become white and
some faces will become black; as for those whose faces will become
dark (to them will be said): "Did you reject Faith after accepting it?
Then taste the torment for rejecting Faith." [Soorah Aali-Imraan,
3:106]
Ibn Abbaas and others have said regarding this verse,
'The bright faces will be of the ahlus-sunnah (people of the Sunnah),
and the dark faces will be of the people of bid'ah (innovation) and
division.'"

if he came back?” “I would hit him

It is related that an old man asked a young lad what he would do if he
saw shaytan. The young man said, "I would hit him,"
"And if he came back?"
"I would hit him again," he replied.
And the old man asked the same question, and the young man gave the
same response.
Shaking his head, the old man said, "If you were walking on a road and
a ferocious dog came to you, how often would you hit him to make sure
he doesn't come back? Rather the smarter way is to ask the master of
the dog to remove it from your path."

“Nothing would wake him up except the adhaan/call to prayer, if he is still alive.”

`Umar (radi Allahu 'anhu) became unconscious after he was stabbed, and
according to Al Miswar bin Makhramah, it was said: "Nothing would wake
him up except the adhaan/call to prayer, if he is still alive."
They said to him, "The prayer has finished, O Chief of the Faithful!"
He woke up and said, "The prayer, by Allah! Verily, there is no share
in Islam for whoever abandons the prayer."
He performed the prayer while his wound was bleeding.
