Narrated one of the wives of Prophet,

“The Messenger of Allah ﷺ used to fast the first nine days of Dhul Hijjah.”

[Abu Dawud 2437 & Nasai 2417]

Surah Al-Fatihah is a cure for showing off and arrogance, two deadly diseases of the heart

Shaykh Al-Islam Ibn Taymiyyah would often say:

"You alone we worship" repels showing off (Riyā).

"You alone we ask for help" repels arrogance.

(Madarij al-Salikīn)

Moosaa al-Hajjaawee said:

❝The parable of Imaan is like that of a city which has five fortresses. The first (and innermost) of them is made of gold, the second of silver, the third of iron, the fourth of baked bricks, and the fifth (and the outermost) of mud (and unbaked bricks).

So as long as the people of the city defend the mud fortress, the enemy would not be able to reach the next fortress. But if they fail to defend it, the enemy will penetrate (and reach) the next, and then the next, until all the fortresses are destroyed.

Similarly, Imaan is like these five fortresses. The first is Yaqeen (certainty), the second is Ikhlaas (sincerity), the third is fulfilling the Faraaidh (obligations), the fourth is the Sunan (recommended acts), and the fifth is Adaab (etiquette).

As long as a person safeguards his etiquette, Shaitaan will not be able to penetrate it. But if he abandons his etiquette, Shaitaan will reach his Sunan, then his obligations, then his Ikhlaas, until he reaches his Yaqeen.❞

📚 [غذاء الألباب (1/37 )]

Friday 7th June will be the first day of Dhul Hijjah.
(it starts from maghrib time on thursday)

These are the best 10 days in the year, increase in much good deeds and reduce/stop your bad deeds. Rewards for good deeds are multiplied and its mentioned bad deeds are too, Allahu alaam.

The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him), as narrated in the hadeeth of Ibn 'Abbas (may Allah be pleased with him) said:

“There are no days on which righteous deeds are more beloved to Allah than these ten days – i.e., ten days of Dhul-Hijjah).” They said: “O Messenger of Allah, not even jihad for the sake of Allah?” He said: “Not even jihad for the sake of Allah, unless a man goes out himself with his wealth and does not come back with anything (i.e., he expends all his wealth and is martyred).” (Narrated by al-Bukhari, 969)

And it was narrated from Hunaydah ibn Khalid from his wife that one of the wives of the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: “The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) used to fast nine days of Dhul-Hijjah and the day of ‘Ashura’ and three days of each month – the first Monday and two Thursdays.” (Narrated by Imam Ahmad, 21829; Abu Dawood, 2437; classed as da’eef in Nasb al-Raayah, 2/180, but classed as saheeh by al-Albani.)

Abu Uthman an Nahdi said,

"The Companions used to hold three sets of tens in high regard: The first ten days of al Muharram, the first ten days of Dhul Hijjah and the last ten nights of Ramadan."

[Muhammad Nasr al Marwazi, Mukhtasar Qiyamil layl 1/247]

"If you don't find me in Jannah then ask about me..."

Surely the people of Jannah when they enter and they don't find those companions of theirs who were with them upon good in this world, they will intercede for them in front of Allah ﷻ and they will say:

"Oh Rabb we have brothers and sisters who used to offer salah and fast with us, we do not see them?

Allah ﷻ will say, "Go to the fire and take out any person who had even an atoms amount of emaan (faith) in his heart."

Hasan Basri said, "Have lots of believing friends because they will be able to intercede for you on the day of Qiyamah.' If you don't find me in Jannah then please ask about me..."

Sahih Bukhari 7704

The Prophet ﷺ said:

“Do not seek faults of other Muslims or Allāh will humiliate you even if you hide in your homes.”

● [أبي داود ٤٨٨٠]

It was narrated from ‘Umar that the Prophet (ﷺ) said:
“Perform Hajj and ‘Umrah, one after the other, for performing them one after the other removes poverty and sin as the bellows removes impurity from iron.”
Another chain reports a similar hadith.

عمر رضی اللہ عنہ کہتے ہیں کہ نبی اکرم صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم نے فرمایا: حج اور عمرہ کو یکے بعد دیگرے ادا کرو، اس لیے کہ انہیں باربار کرنا فقر اور گناہوں کو ایسے ہی دور کر دیتا ہے جیسے بھٹی لوہے کے میل کو

Honour the blessed 10 days of Dhul Hijjah

Avoid sins in these ten blessed days of Dhul Hijjah..avoid backbiting, listening to music, slandering and other sins that we take so lightly these days.

Pure Justice

It is established in the Ṣaḥīḥ that the Prophet (ﷺ) said,

When a servant desires to commit a sin, nothing is recorded against him, if he then leaves that sin for the sake of Allāh, one good deed is recorded for him, if he commits that sin, one sin is recorded for him, if he leaves that sin, but not for the sake of Allāh, no sin or reward is recorded for him.

“Whoever conceals knowledge (from people), Allāh will make him wear a BRIDLE MADE OF FIRE on the Day of Resurrection.”

● [الجامع الصحيح مما ليس في الصحيحين ٥/٣٩٤]

The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "No good deeds done on other days are superior to those done on these (first ten days of Dhul Hijja)." Then some companions of the Prophet (ﷺ) said, "Not even Jihad?" He replied, "Not even Jihad, except that of a man who does it by putting himself and his property in danger (for Allah's sake) and does not return with any of those things."

حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَرْعَرَةَ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ، عَنْ سُلَيْمَانَ، عَنْ مُسْلِمٍ الْبَطِينِ، عَنْ سَعِيدِ بْنِ جُبَيْرٍ، عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ، عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صلى الله عليه وسلم أَنَّهُ قَالَ ‏"‏ مَا الْعَمَلُ فِي أَيَّامِ الْعَشْرِ أَفْضَلَ مِنَ الْعَمَلِ فِي هَذِهِ ‏"‌‏.‏ قَالُوا وَلاَ الْجِهَادُ قَالَ ‏"‏ وَلاَ الْجِهَادُ، إِلاَّ رَجُلٌ خَرَجَ يُخَاطِرُ بِنَفْسِهِ وَمَالِهِ فَلَمْ يَرْجِعْ بِشَىْءٍ ‏"‌‏.‏

Shaykh Al-Islām Ibn Taymiyyah [رحمه الله] said:

❝The first ten days of Dhūl-Hijjah are more virtuous than the last ten days of Ramadhān. The last ten nights of Ramadhān are more virtuous than the last ten nights of Dhūl-Hijjah.❞

[Majmū’ Al-Fatāwā, (25/287)]

#dhul_hijjah

‎Now a days people rush to give fatwa even though they have the least of knowledge.

When Imām Mālik رحمه الله was asked about a matter (i.e. to give a fatwá), it was as if he was standing between Jannah and Jahannam.

‎[Al-Faqīh wa al-Mutafaqqih (v. 2 p. 167)

Ibn al-Qayyim رحمه الله said:

‎“The salāh of the hypocrites is the salāh of the body (i.e. physical movements only), not the salāh of the heart…

‎O Allāh do not make us from them.”

‎[Madarīj as-Salikeen | 1/354]

A muslim girl in Islam is kept under the protection of her father and her husband for the rest of her life and is highly encouraged to give importance and respect to her husband. She therefore gets or uses the property of her father and her husband ie 2 shares of property.

A muslim boy gets 2 shares of property from his father and is not allowed to demand dowry from his wife and his warned greatly from Allah in the Qur'an not to eat up the property of his sisters.

Sometimes the father is rich, sometimes the husband and it applies for both son and the daughter. Also, that's why it's best to marry your daughter to someone with a similar financial status as yours or higher, of course after keeping religiosity as the prime factor. If not rich but religious, then Allah says he will bestow such out of his grace (fadl) in the Qur'an and the keys of Rizq are with Allah alone.

2 shares for each boy = 2 shares for each girl.

Where is the injustice in this by Islam ? Infact, it is the most just law by the only supreme lord, Allah.. if only people give thought or fear him.

Before they disappear, let's try to revive as many Sunnah as possible in cha Allaah 🫀💯

Prophet Muḥammad Ṣallallāhu-'Alaihi Wa Sallam said:

“When you decorate your mosques and adorn your Maṣāḥif (copies of Qur’ān) then DESTRUCTION is upon you.”

‎● [مختصر صحيح الجامع الصغير ٥٨٥ ، حسنه الألباني]

Kindness Is Something Easy

True Brothers

Shaykh 'Abd Ul-'Azīz Ibn Bāz ﺭﺣﻤﻪ ﺍﻟﻠﻪ said:

"So your brother is the one who advises you, reminds you and alerts you. Your brother is not the one who gives you no thought, avoids you, or speaks to you with pretty words that lack real truth and sincerity. Rather, your brother, in reality, is the one who advises you, the one who admonishes you and reminds you. He calls you to Allāh, keeps explaining to you the path to deliverance clearly until you follow it, and warns you about the path to destruction - he keeps explaining to you how evil its end is until you avoid it.
