Shaykh Ibn Baaz رحمه الله said: “You’re in need of guidance even if you were the most pious and even if you were the most knowledgeable, you’re in need of guidance till you die.” [Majmu Fatawa 7/163 | Translated By Abbas Abu Yahya]
QUESTION :
They said ’everything is haram’ is it true?
•••
ANSWER :
Allah ﷻ made ZINA HARAM and made MARRIAGE HALAL.
If Allah ﷻ made ALCOHOL HARAM, He ﷻ made HUNDREDS of OTHER DRINKS HALAL.
If Allah ﷻ made MUSIC HARAM, He ﷻ GAVE you QURAN (that you can listen too (murattal) which is more beautiful and beneficial).
If Allah ﷻ made PORK HARAM, He ﷻ GAVE you HUNDREDS of OTHER FOOD, FRUITS, VEGETABLES, MEAT, etc HALAL.
If Allah ﷻ made SILK and GOLD HARAM for MEN, He ﷻ GAVE them MANY OTHER HALAL THINGS to dress and beautify themselves — such as cotton and polyester and many many others.
If Allah ﷻ FORBID WOMEN to EXPOSE their BEAUTIES for other THAN their MAHRAMS, He ﷻ ORDERED them to BEAUTIFY themselves for their HUSBANDS which CREATES MORE LOVE AND AFFECTION in their RELATION/MARRIAGE resulting in MANY OTHER GOODNESSES.
—
NEVER EVER can you say ’everything is haram’ ; only A FEW things are HARAM only for OUR BENEFITS and the BLESSINGS are TOO MANY to count.
The HIKMAH of Allah ﷻ is GREAT — many things which we think are not bad, results in making people fall into haram which we all want to avoid as Muslims.
Darkness cannot drive out darkness; only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate; only love can do that.

Ibn Qayyim رحمه الله said:
The keys to the life of the heart lie in:
Reflecting upon the Qur'an
Being humble before Allāh in secret
Leaving sins
[هدي الارواح الى بلاد الافراح صحفة ٤٥]
❝Saying that Allāh is everywhere is major shirk which negates the Tawheed (Oneness) of Allāh in His names and attributes.❞
[Shaykh al-Albani, Silsilah Al Hudaa Wan-Noor, p. 741-742]

Just like the Quran says :
❝Indeed, your Lord is Allāh, who created the heavens and the earth in six days and then established Himself above the Throne, arranging the matter [of His creation]. There is no intercessor except after His permission. That is Allāh, your Lord, so worship Him. Then will you not remember?❞ [Quran, 10 ; 3]
How sad is it that we pray to God, but our minds are elsewhere. I ask Allah to not allow our hearts to be so attached to this dunya and our minds so preoccupied with it. Especially when we worship Him. May He forgive us.
