It is that which is the great attainment” [at-Tawbah 9:72] . It was narrated by al-Bukhaari in his  Saheeh  (6549) and by Muslim in his  Saheeh  (2829) that Abu Sa‘eed al-Khudri said: The Messenger of Allah (blessings and peace of Allah be upon him) said: “Allah, may He be blessed and exalted, will say to the people of Paradise: ‘O people of Paradise!’ They will say: ‘Here we are at Your service, our Lord.’ He will say: ‘Are you pleased?’ They will say: ‘How could we not be pleased, O Lord, when You have given us that which You ha...

The words of Allah, may He be exalted (interpretation of the meaning): “And I did not create the jinn and mankind except to worship Me I do not want from them any provision, nor do I want them to feed Me Indeed, it is Allah who is the [continual] Provider, the firm possessor of strength” [adh-Dhaariyaat 51:56-58] .

There are numerous benefits of Remembrance of Allah. If we will remember Allah , then Allah will remember us.. Allah, the Exalted, says: “ And the remembering (praising) of (you by) Allah (in front of the angels) is greater indeed [than your remembering (praising) of Allah in prayers] ” (29:45) “ Therefore remember Me (by praying, glorifying).

Can I supplicate in mother tongue? Criteria for Dua, invocation and supplication Preference for Dua and permissible Dua  There is much good in the supplications that are narrated in reports( Dua mentioned in Quran and Hadith), but a person may need to offer supplication for himself or for a loved one for some of the good things of this world and the hereafter, or he may need to ask Allah to ward off some harm or evil from him.  This kind of supplication is broad in scope, and he does not have to limit himself to what is narrated in reports. Requirements for Dua: Language of Dua is not important, Dua in Arabic is preferred:  Focus and presence of mind, and sincerity in turning to Allah, may He be exalted, no matter what language one is speaking. Allah, may He be exalted, hears all voices and understands all languages, and not even an atom is hidden from Him on earth or in the heavens. Avoid rhyming Dua: It is also undesirable to try too hard to make one’s supplication rhym...

It was reported from Abu Umaamah (may Allaah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allaah (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said: “Do not sell singing slave women, do not buy them and do not teach them. There is nothing good in this trade, and their price is haraam. Concerning such things as this the aayah was revealed (interpretation of the meaning): ‘And of mankind is he who purchases idle talks (i.e. music, singing) to mislead (men) from the path of Allaah…’ [Luqmaan 31:6].” (Hasan hadeeth)  The Messenger of Allaah (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said:  “Among my ummah there will certainly be people who permit zinaa, silk, alcohol and musical instruments…” (Narrated by al-Bukhaari ta’leeqan, no. 5590; narrated as mawsool by al-Tabaraani and al-Bayhaqi. See al-Silsilah al-Saheehah by al-Albaani, 91). This hadeeth indicates in two ways that musical instruments and enjoyment of listening to music are haraam. The first is the fact that the Prophet (pe...

  Binary options is Haraam, unlawful and forbidden Praise be to Allah. 1. The ruling on trading in binary options It is not permissible to trade in binary options, because the thing that is the subject of the contract is not property or a benefit, and it is not wealth that it is possible to replace with something else – which is a condition of a transaction being valid. Rather the subject of the contract is the mere right to buy or sell at a set price. So what is being sold is the option itself, and this is something that it is not permissible to buy or sell. Moreover, this contract involves ambiguity and gambling. 2. Offering expertise and advice in the place where binary options are offered for sale You want to offer your expertise and advice in the place where binary options are offered for sale, in return for payment. This is haraam, because it is helping in selling something that is haraam. Allah (may He be exalted) says (interpretation of the meaning): “And cooperate in right...

Corruption and Bribery in admission,employment , tender, contract and academic evaluation process   Praise be to Allah. There is no doubt that paying a bribe in order to get a job is haraam both for the one who pays the bribe and the one who accepts it, and for the one who mediates between them.

Importance, purpose,benefits and advantages of istikhaarah salah Reasons of offering istikhaarah salah The first reason is to show our  need of Allah alone, to keep away from any hope except hope in Allah, to put our trust in Him (may He be glorified and exalted), and to surrender and delegate all our affairs to Him.  All of these are sublime aspects of Tawheed and Islam, which praying istikhaarah helps one to attain and helps one to establish them, especially for the one who gets used to doing it often and realizes and understands in his heart its importance and the wisdom behind its being prescribed. The second reason is to make the right choice, be successful in what one is striving to achieve and to be helped by Allah in one’s efforts. Whoever delegates his affairs to Allah, He will suffice him, and whoever asks of Allah with sincerity, He will grant his need and not withhold it. The third reason is acceptance of the divine decree and contentment with one’s lot. ...

Kufr (disbelief in Lord, Prophets, Messengers, Books of Allah, Life after death, Destiny) and sins are the cause of all afflictions and evil in this world and the Hereafter, while tawhid (belief in the Oneness of Allah) and Iman (belief) in Him and His Messengers, obedience to Him and His Messengers, holding fast to His Shari‘ah (Islamic law), Da‘wah (calling) people to it, and refuting those who oppose it, are the causes of all good in this world and in the Hereafter. Perseverance on these principles and enjoining and cooperating in them bring honor in this world and the Hereafter, and salvation from every evil and protection from every Fitnah (trial).  Allah (may He be Praised) says: “ O you who believe! If you help  (in the cause of)  Allâh, He will help you, and make your foothold firm. And He  (may He be Praised)  says: Verily, Allâh will help those who help His  (Cause) . Truly, Allâh is All ­Strong, All ­Mighty “ .  Allâh has promised those amon...
