Food and Gifts from Non-Muslims
Shaikh Muhammad Salih Al-Uthaimeen (May Allah have mercy on him)
Question: Occasionally, for special events my non-Muslim neighbor sends me food and sweets. Is it permissible for me to eat them?
Answer: Yes, it is permissible for you to eat food given as a gift from a non-Muslim if you trust them because the prophet (salla Allahu alaihi wa sallam) accepted a gift from a Jewish women which she gave in the form of a sheep and he also accepted a Jew’s invitation to share a meal and he ate (salla Allahu alaihi wa sallam). So, there is no problem in accepting the gifts of non-Muslims or eating their food with the condition that they are trustworthy (in that they would not try to harm you) and if you are worried or afraid (that they could harm you in some way i.e. serving you poisoned food etc.) then their invitation is not to be answered. Likewise, it cannot be for a religious event or holiday like Christmas etc. as the gifts given for this event are not to be accepted.

The Methodology & Supplication for Memorizing the Qur’an
By: Shaikh Muhammad Bin Saalih Al ‘Uthaimeen (may Allah have mercy upon him)
“the way in which an individual will memorize the Qur’an is by being consistent (upon memorizing it).
People (generally) have two ways of going about memorizing (the Qur’an).
The First: is to memorize verse by verse, or two or three verses at a time, depending on the length of the verses.
The Second: is to memorize page by page
… Furthermore, it is incumbent whether, (one memorizes) by the first or second method, that they do not proceed (to the next verse or page) until they have excellently memorized (that verse or page that they are currently on)…”
