How to protect yourself from temptation of women?

Praise be to Allaah. Allaah has created man in a world of trials and tests, and He has made Paradise the abode of His friends and beloved ones, who preferred His pleasure over their own and preferred obedience to Him over their physical comfort. And He has made Hell the abode of those among His slaves who disobey Him and preferred their own whims and desires to the pleasure of their Lord. Allaah says (interpretation of the meaning): “Such is the Paradise which We shall give as an inheritance to those of Our slaves who have been Al-Muttaqoon (the pious)” [Maryam 19:63] “But as for him who feared standing before his Lord, and restrained himself from impure evil desires and lusts. Verily, Paradise will be his abode” [al-Naaz’i’aat 79:40-41] And He says concerning the people of Hell (interpretation of the meaning): “Then, there has succeeded them a posterity who have given up As-Salaat (the prayers) [i.e. made their Salaat (prayers) to be lost, either by not offering them or by no

Sin committed before maturity and puberty

Suicide is haraam, prohibited and forbidden Praise be to Allaah. Firstly: Suicide is a major sin. The Prophet (blessings and peace of Allah be upon him) stated that the one who commits suicide will be punished with something like that with which he killed himself. Secondly: There are known signs of puberty for both males and females. The male reaches puberty when one of three things happens: emission of maniy (semen), growth of pubic hair or reaching the age of fifteen years according to the Hijri calendar, which is a few months before reaching the age of fifteen according to the Gregorian calendar. In females, puberty is reached when these three signs occur; in addition to that there is a fourth sign, namely menstruation. It is not stipulated that all of these signs should appear; rather when one of them appears that is sufficient to rule that the individual has reached puberty. Thirdly: Accountability is waived for the child who has not yet reached puberty, until he reaches

Husband should fulfil physical and mental rights of wife.

Husband is not fulfilling physical, emotional,;mental, financial rights of wife Husband is not able to satisfy his wife. Sexual desires of wife is not satisfied by husband Praise be to Allaah. Allah has enjoined upon the husband to treat his wife decently and with kindness, as He says (interpretation of the meaning): “And live with them honourably” [an-Nisa’ 4:19] . This is one of the rights that are common to both spouses; each must treat the other decently and with kindness. Each spouse has rights over the other. One of the rights that the wife has over her husband is that he should keep her chaste by means of intercourse with her. This is obligatory for the one who is able to do it. This is the view of the majority of scholars. It says in al-Mawsoo‘ah al-Fiqhiyyah (30/127): One of the rights of the wife over her husband is that he should keep her chaste by having intercourse with her. The majority of fuqaha’ – Hanafis, Maalikis and Hanbalis – are of the view that it is obl

How to strengthen Iman and faith?

Praise be to Allaah. You should have great hope in Allaah, and do not let the Shaytaan cause you to despair of the vast mercy of Allaah which He has guaranteed for His believing slaves. What you are telling yourself about this being a sign that you will die following something other than that which Allaah wants is only insinuating whispers (waswaas) from the Shaytaan and his deviant ideas by means of which he wants to tempt the slaves of Allaah and lead them away from their religion. So he comes to a righteous slave and whispers to him that his good deeds are of no avail, or that he is doing them not for the sake of Allaah but to show off to people, so that they will think he is good. All of these are the usual ways with which the Shaytaan tries to trick the slaves of Allaah, especially those who show signs of being righteous – of whom I think that you are one, although I do not praise anyone before Allah – to hinder their efforts. We seek refuge with Allaah from him. You need to inc

First rectify self then others

*Rectify your own self first then others* Reference: An-Naseehah page 11 From the established principles of the religion is that the Muslim, before he busies himself with rectifying other people, should be concerned with the rectification of his own self, and striving to save himself from the causes of his own destruction. Allaah, the Most High, said: {By Time, indeed all of Mankind is in loss. Except those who believe and do righteous deed, encourage each other upon the truth and encourage each other upon patience} [103:1-3] Allaah informed us regarding those who will be saved from loss and destruction, they are the those within whom the above attributes are found. Allaah  mentioned the establishment of Imaan and righteous actions within themselves. This is before their preaching to others by encouraging them with the truth and encouraging them with patience. This is therefore a confirmation of this matter. Also, Allaah criticized Banu Israaeel when they opposed this principle,

Small good deed greater reward: Forgiveness of sins

The Prophet (Sal-Allahu Alaihi Wasallam) said *If anyone say after every prayer* *33 times SubhanALLAH,* *33 times Alhamdulillah,* *33 times Allahu Akbar,* *ninety-nine times in all, and says (1 time)to complete a hundred* لا اِلهَ اِلَّا اللّهُ وَحْدَهُ لا شَرِيكَ لَهُ ، لَهُ الْمُلْكُ وَ لَهُ الْحَمْدُ وَهُوَ عَلَى كُلِّ شَيْءٍ قَدِيرٌ La ilaha illal-lah wahdahu la sharika lahu, lahu-l-mulk wa lahu-l-hamd wa huwa Ala kulli shayin qadir *his sins will be forgiven even If these are equal to the foam of the sea.* (Sahih Muslim, Book 4, 1243)

Difference between scholar and ignorant person

*Imaam Ibn Al-Qayyim رحمة ألله* *"A Scholar is alive amongst people after his death, while an ignorant person is dead amongst the people during his life even though he is alive."* [Muftaah Daar As-Sa'aadatiayn 438/1] Because knowledge of scholar is quoted, used and beneficial for people even after is death

Punishment for doing good deeds and good things

Contradicting and opposing sunnah and rejection and harmful effects of innovation. Avoid introducing new things in Islam. *Will I be punished for my prayer? Imaam Sa`eed bin Al-Musayyib رحمه الله once saw a man praying more than two rak`aat after the beginning of Fajr (i.e. before the Fajr prayer), making many bows and prostrations, and so he forbade him. The man said: “O Abu Muhammad, is Allaah going to punish me for praying?” Sa`eed said: “No, but He will punish you for contradicting the Sunnah.” *[Al-Bayhaqee in As-Sunan Al-Kubraa (2:466) and graded as “Saheeh” by Shaykh Al-Albaanee. See Irwā Al-Ghalīl 2:236.]* *Shaykh Al-Albaanee رحمه الله commented*: “This is one of the superb answers given by Sa`eed bin Al-Musayyib رحمه الله. It is a strong weapon against heretics (mubtadi`ah) who recommend many different types of religious innovation in the name of them being dhikr and prayer. They then criticize the followers of the Sunnah for criticizing them, and accuse them of censurin

Beware of ineligible and incompetent scholars

*Ibn Rajab رحمة ألله said* *"I truly wonder at those who have studied religion for a short period of time and then claim themselves knowledgable so they start issuing fatawa and stand on pulpits and place themselves in the position of the actual respected scholars! I say to them, may Allah bestow his mercy upon he who knows his rank."* (Al Farq bayna al Ta'yir wal Nasihah, pg. 32)

Foundation of medicine and foundation of illness

Ibn Rajab reports that classical Arab doctors used to say: الْحَمِيَّةُ رَأْسُ الدَّوَاءِ وَالْبِطْنَةُ رَأْسُ الدَّاءِ Diet is the foundation of medicine and the stomach is the foundation of illness. Source: Jāmi’ al-‘Ulūm wal-Ḥikam 2/468

Fear Allah more in private than in public

✒ If You Wish To Avoid Humiliation Then Fear Allāh In Your Privacy More Than You Fear Him In Public Ibn al-Qayyim Raḥimahullāh said: “For a slave, there is a curtain between him and Allāh and a curtain between him and the people, so whoever rips apart the curtain which is between him and Allāh then Allāh will rip apart the curtain which is between him and the people.” 📚 [Kitāb al-Fawā`id pg. 59]

Bad names should be changed

Names have influence on character and attitude. Narrated Al-Musaiyab: That his father (Hazn bin Wahb) went to the Prophet and the Prophet asked (him), What is your name? He replied, My name is Hazn. The Prophet said, You are Sahl. Hazn said, I will not change the name with which my father has named me. Ibn Al-Musaiyab added: We have had roughness (in character) ever since. - [Saheeh AL-Bukhaari, Hadees : 6190, 6193] - Ibn al-Qayyim (Rahimahullaah) said:   - Because names have meanings, these meanings will inevitably have an effect on the person who carries the name. Names have an effect on the things that are named, and the things that are named have an effect on their names, whether they are beautiful or ugly, light or heavy, subtle or crude.   - [Zaad al-Ma’aad, 2/336]

Balancing relationship: Respecting mother and taking care of wife

Praise be to Allah. Firstly: Undoubtedly these kind of family problems and annoyances are things that affect one’s life and occupy one’s thoughts, but with a little wisdom, proper conduct, more rational thinking, adhering to the path of fairness and patience for the sake of pleasing the one who has the greatest rights over you – namely your mother – and pleasing the one whom you love, the source of your comfort and the mother of your children – namely your wife – we can resolve the problem and handle the matter in the best manner possible. Secondly: We must – may Allah guide us and you aright – inform each party of the rights of the other. The mother must understand that her son’s wife has rights that have been ordained by Allah and taught by the Messenger of Allah; the wife must understand that the mother has rights ordained by Allah and affirmed by the Messenger of Allah. Moreover, each of them must understand that when Allah ordained rights for people, He forbade mistreatment a

Allah is Generous and Shy, He answers and responds to Dua, Supplication and Invocation

✒ Allāh Does Not Return Raised Hands Empty قال رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم : إن الله رحيم حيي كريم يستحي من عبده أن يرفع إليه يديه ثم لا يضع فيهما خيرا The Messenger of Allāh Ṣallallāhu-'Alaihi Wa Sallam said: “Indeed, Allāh is Most Merciful, Shy, Generous, He is Shy of His slave that he raises his hands to Him then He does not place anything of Khayr (goodness) in them.” ● [مختصر صحيح الجامع الصغير ١٧٦٨ ، صححه الألباني Mukhtaṣar Ṣaḥīḥ al-Jāmi' aṣ-Ṣagheer no. 1768, declared 'Authentic' by al-Albānī] Translated By: Sameeullaah Sameeullaah (Aboo Maryamm)

Importance of pure heart and truthful tongue

*From 'Abdullāh bin . 'Amr Razi-ALLAHU  'Anhu who narrated:* *The PROPHET MUHAMMAD SALL-ALLAHU ALAIHI WA SALLAM  was asked: O Messenger of ALLAH  who are the best of people?, he answered: “Everyone who has a Makhmoom Heart and a Truthful Tongue”,* *They asked: We know what a Truthful Tongue is but what is a Makhmoom Heart?, he SALL-ALLAHU ALAIHI WA SALLAM Said: “It is a pious, pure (heart) which has no sin in it, neither it's oppressive nor it contains grudge and jealousy.”* ● [صححه الألباني في صحيح ابن ماجه ٢٨٨٩]

Meaning and definition of real patience

*Very Educative and don't miss to read please*...!!! ● *What is the real patience*??? The fish said to the sea,: *"You can never see my tears, because I am in the water."* The sea answered back,: *"But I can feel your tears, because you are in my heart."* This is how we are; No one will feel us except those who are truly close to our hearts. Arwah bin al-Zubayr's leg was cut because of the disease which he suffered, and on the same day the dearest of his seven sons died. The dearest son to his heart. He died after the horse kicked him and killed him. *Arwah said:* *Allahumamma laka Al hamd* *Wainna Lillah Waina Ilehi Rajiuun* [Oh Allah, thank you, and we are from Allah and to Him shall return] *He gave me seven sons and He took one.* *He gave me two legs and two hands and He took only one leg.* *When Allah gives us calamities, He always Forgives our sins.* *And when He takes away something*, *He always gives back* *something better.* *I ask A

Focus on worship, prayer and Ibaadah

Focus on creator not on creation A son went to his father and said, “I won't be going to the Masjid anymore!” He said, “May I ask why?” He answered, “I see people on their cell phones during Salah, others are gossiping, some are not acting appropriately, they are all just hypocrites!” The Father became silent, and said, “OK... But can I ask you to do something for me before you make your final decision?” He said, “What’s that?” The father said, “Take a glass of water and walk around the Masjid 2 times and don't let any water fall out the glass.” He agreed to do what his father asked. After awhile he came back and said it's done. The father then asked his son 3 questions. “1. Did you see anybody on their phone? 2. Did you hear anyone gossiping? 3. Was anyone behaving wrong?” He answered, “I didn't see anything nor did I hear anything because I was too busy focussing on not spilling the glass, so the water wouldn't fall.” He told him, “when you go to the

Don't hate a thing because it may be good for you

*The Great Wisdom of الله* ━━━━━━━━━━━━ Allāh ﷻ says: [interpretation of the meaning] . *But perhaps you hate a thing and it is good for you; and perhaps you love a thing and it is bad for you. And Allāh Knows, while you know not.*  [Qur’ān 2:216] Everything Allāh ﷻ ordains in life - good or bad - is part of His Justice and Mercy, whether the slave comprehends this or not. . Ibn Taymīyyah – may Allāh have mercy upon him – said: . ❝Every Punishment from Him is pure justice and every blessing from Him is pure grace.❞ . [Majmū’ al-Fatawa 10/85] ━━━━━━━━━━━━ Whenever Allāh ﷻ closes one door out of His Wisdom, He will open two out of His Mercy. . *Ibn al-Qayyīm – may Allāh have mercy upon him – explains:* . *❝If Allāh closes one of its paths for a wisdom which He alone knows, He will out of His mercy open another path for you which is even more beneficial.* . Ponder the state of the embryo, how it is fed from the blood of the mother through one path; the umbilical cord.

Sex change operation is haraam and forbidden

Praise be to Allah. Surgery for changing sex is strictly prohibited Firstly: It is not possible for anyone, no matter who he is, to change the creation of Allah, may He be exalted, from male to female or vice versa. Whoever Allah, may He be exalted, has created as a male can never become a female who menstruates and gives birth! Yes, the doctors may tamper with him to satisfy his perversion so that he will think that he has become a woman, but he will never be truly female and will live in a state of anxiety and worry, which may lead him to commit suicide. Secondly: What a person may feel in his mind and heart, that he is of a gender other than what he appears to be to us does not give him an excuse to change his gender; rather it comes under the heading of following the Shaytaan in changing the creation of Allah – outwardly but not truly – and those feelings do not make it permissible for him to undergo surgery or take medicines and hormones to change his outward appearance. Rat

Importance of staying(sitting) at the place where one has offered Salah (Prayer)

Remaining in your place after prayer. Ibn Battal رحمه الله said: "Whoever has many sins and wishes for those sins to be removed without any hardship, then he should make the most of the opportunity of remaining in his place after the completion of his prayer, in order for the Angels to increase in their supplications for him and increase in their asking for forgiveness for him." ‎[شرح ابن بطال حجم ٣، صحفة ١١٤]

Confused about how many rakaat( rakaah) prayed??

*Uncertain of the number of rak’ahs* I have forgotten how many rakaat(rakaah) prayed??? 🤔Sometimes, actually many times, I make mistakes during my prayers. Either I forget how many 'rakaas' I have done or something else of the sort. ❓Do I stop my prayers and do them over, or continue?. *🎓Shaykh Muhammad al-‘Uthaymeen was asked this question and said:* The correct view is that this does not invalidate your prayer, because doubts often come to a man without him wanting them to. The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) explained the ruling concerning doubts in prayer, and that doubts fall into two categories: 1⃣ – When the person doubts the number of rak’ahs he has prayed, but he thinks one of the two is more likely. In this case he should act upon what he is more certain of, and complete the prayer on that basis, then say the salaam and do the prostration of forgetfulness (sajdat al-sahw) after the salaam. 2⃣– When he doubts the number of rak’ahs, and neit

No one has seen Allah

Praise be to Allah. Correct and true meaning of Ihsan Firstly: You should understand that Allah, may He be exalted, is screened from His creation in this world, so no human can see him in this world, neither the Prophet (blessings and peace of Allah be upon him) nor anyone of lesser standing. The Mother of the Believers ‘Aa’ishah (may Allah be pleased with her) said: Whoever claims that Muhammad (blessings and peace of Allah be upon him) saw his Lord has fabricated a great lie against Allah. Narrated by al-Bukhaari (4855) and Muslim (177). Shaykh al-Islam Ibn Taymiyah (may Allah have mercy on him) said: The imams (leading scholars) of the Muslims are unanimously agreed that no one among the believers can see Allah with his own eyes in this world; they only disagree concerning the Prophet (blessings and peace of Allah be upon him) in particular. However the majority of imams are of the view that he did not see Him with his own eyes in this world. This is what is indicated by the sa

Greeting with a smile is good deed and Sunnah

A Happy And Smiling Face Ibn Battaal said: ‏«انَّ لقاء النَّاس بالتَّبسُّم وطلاقة الوجه من ‏أخلاق النُّبوة وهو مناف للتكبُّر، وجالب للمودَّة» ❝Verily, greeting people with a smile and a happy face is from the prophetic manners, it removes arrogance, and attracts love.❞ [From Explanation of Saheeh Bukhari, (5/193) | Translated By Abbas Abu Yahya Miraath al-Anbiyya]

How to rectify disobedient children?

Praise be to Allah. Parents should give their children a good upbringing and take care of them so that they will be in a good state in both religious and worldly affairs. If a child grows up disobedient and rebellious, then the parents must do more and try harder to guide him and make him righteous, by reminding him and advising him, showing patience towards him, praying for him, choosing good friends for him and choosing righteous acquaintances who can visit him, and advise him and befriend him.

Deeds when death is approaching

Praise be to Allah. Firstly: No one knows exactly when he will die, or in what land he will die. Allah, may He be exalted, says (interpretation of the meaning): “Verily, Allah! With Him (Alone) is the knowledge of the Hour, He sends down the rain, and knows that which is in the wombs. No person knows what he will earn tomorrow, and no person knows in what land he will die. Verily, Allah is All-Knower, All-Aware (of things)” [Luqmaan 31:34] Secondly: There are no specific signs by which a person may know that his death and the end of his life are approaching. This is by the mercy of Allah towards His slaves, for if a person knew when he was going to die, and he knew that repentance expiates the sins that come before it, perhaps he might indulge in sins and commit evil deeds, and promise himself that one hour before his death he will repent and give up his sin. But such a person does not deserve to be a slave of Allah; rather he is a slave to his whims and desires. This is in cont

The bed of the prophet

The Bed of the Prophet صلى الله عليه و سلم 'Aisha رضي الله عنها described the humble and modest nature of the bed of the Prophet Mohammad صلى الله عليه و سلم, she stated: "The bed of the Prophet صلى الله عليه و سلم that he used to sleep upon was nothing other than tanned leather (tanned animal skin) padded with strands extracted from the trunks of palm trees".         [Bukhary 6454, Muslim 2082] It is certainly thought provoking, the final messenger sent with the final revelation, the best of mankind, yet his bed is of the most humble nature imaginable. Preparing provisions for Akhirah ‎ Shaykh Muḥammad Ibn Ṣāliḥ al-‘Uthaymīn رحمه الله said: "We did not appear in this worldly life to live in it like grazing animals and merely eat, drink and sleep. Rather, we came to this dunyā (the worldly life) in order to prepare provisions for the hereafter." Fear of poverty root cause of evil and lowly desires ●  Sufyān ath-Thawri رحمه الله said:: “There is no we

Difference between Funeral of righteous and pious person and wicked person and wrongdoer

Todays Beautiful Hadith is about Funerals Narrated Abu Sa`id Al-Khudri raziallahu anhu The Prophet (sallallahu alaihi wa sallam) said, "When a funeral is ready and the men carry the deceased on their necks (shoulders), if it was pious then it will say, 'Present me quickly', and if it was not pious, then it will say, 'Woe to it (me), where are they taking it (me)?' And its voice is heard by everything except mankind and if he heard it he would fall unconscious." Sahih Al Bukhari Vol 2 Book 23 Hadith 74

Advantage of being strange

Importance of strangers in Islam and meaning of strangers: Shaykh Al Albani Rahimahullah said: "If you speak about Tawheed, the people of Shirk renounce you. And if you speak about the Sunnah, the people of innovation renounce you. And if you speak about proof and evidence, the math-hab blind followers, Sufis and the ignorant renounce you. And if you speak about Islam and its connection with our daily lives, the secularists and whoever wants to seperate religion from the lives of people renounce you. And regardless of all of that, we are happy with this strangeness, and are proud to be strange, because the Prophet of Allah (Peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him and his household) praised these strangers, he said: "Islam began as something strange and will return to be strange just as it began, so glad tidings to the strangers" They asked him "and who are they O Messenger of Allah"? He replied: "they are the ones who are upright when the people a

How to maintain good relationship between husband and wife?

It was narrated from Samurah ibn Jundub that the Messenger of Allah (blessings and peace of Allah be upon him) said: “Woman was created from a rib; if you try to straighten her you will break her. So be kind to her and you will live with ease with her.” Narrated by Ahmad (20093) and Ibn Hibbaan (4178); classed as saheeh by al-Albaani. Moreover, our advice  is not to respond to criticism with more arguments and stubbornness, because this will put more strain on the connection between you, which is about to break because of that. Being more easy-going and diplomatic is something that is required from both parties. It is required from the husband, in the form of kindness, overlooking mistakes and showing compassion, and it is required from the religiously committed, smart and wise wife to put up with the annoyance of her husband, and not to be so harsh with him if he is harsh with her; rather she should be easy-going, as much as she can, avoid provoking his anger and not be confrontat

Dua and supplication of father for his children is not rejected

It was narrated that Abu Hurayrah said: The Messenger of Allah (blessings and peace of Allah be upon him) said: “There are three prayers that will undoubtedly be answered: the prayer of one who has been wronged; the prayer of the traveller; and the prayer of a father concerning his child.” Narrated by at-Tirmidhi (1905), Abu Dawood (1563), and Ibn Maajah (3862); classed as saheeh by al-Albaani in Saheeh at-Tirmidhi .
