A general advice..
Umar ibn al-Khattāb رضي الله عنه said:
“Stick with your true brothers. You can live in comfort with them, as they are a delight in times of ease, and you can lean on them in times of hardship. Assume the best about your brother until he comes with something that should alarm you from him. Avoid your enemy, and beware of befriending anyone but the trustworthy, and there is no trust for the one who doesn’t fear Allāh. Do not befriend the corrupt, as he will teach you his corruption, and do not reveal your secrets to him, and only consult those who fear Allāh, the Exalted.”

Narrated Abu Hurairah رضي الله عنه that the Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم said: “It is not for the women (to walk in) the middle of the path.” [Saheeh Ibn Hibbaan (5717) and graded as “Hasan li ghairihee” by Shaikh al-Albaanee in al-Saheehah (856)]
On the authority of Abu Usayd رضي الله عنه that he heard the Messenger of Allaah صلى الله عليه وسلم say when heصلى الله عليه وسلم was coming out of the Masjid, and men and women were mingled in the road: “Draw back! For you must not walk in the middle of the road; keep to the sides of the road. Then women were keeping so close to the wall that their garments were rubbing against it.” [Sunan Abu Dawood (5272) and graded as “Hasan li ghairihee” by Shaikh al-Albaanee (2/537)]
And today we have women not only walking in the middle of the path, but a group of them together will even block the path in the shopping malls and other places, May Allah guide those women and us too. Aameen

Women Using Makeup 💄– Shaykh al-Albaani

Question # “Is it allowed for the woman to put on make-up if she leaves her house wearing the hijaab?”
Shaykh al-Albaani (rahimahullaah) answers:
“It is not permissible for the woman who does not wear hijaab, let alone who wears hijaab, to use the makeup of the disbeliever, the make-up of the rebellious and disobedient (to Allaah). When were you aware of some women’s adornment called by a name for which Allaah did not send down an authority: ‘make-up’? This is a word that we don’t know, not us nor your forefathers from before. Rather, it is a foreign word expressing an adornment for the rebellious and disobedient women of Europe; and our women – except those of them whom Allaah protects – unfortunately imitate decorating themselves with this adornment which the Islamic society is being affected by, namely make-up. So it is not permissible for the woman. And this reality is one of the strange ironies: in the road we see a woman wearing a decent hijaab (but) I don’t say the Islamically legislated hijaab; she ties what they call the ‘ishaarb’ – or khimaar which is the (correct) Arabic word – covering her hair, her neck and so on, but she has face powder and lipstick on. This (wearing the hijaab) is against this (wearing make-up): two contradictory, conflicting matters that do not go together. What is the reason (for this type of occurrence)? It is one of two things: either ignorance and heedlessness of the Islamically legislated ruling or it is due to the women’s following of the whisperings of shaytaan.
Therefore, we firstly remind the women who suffer from this make-up. Then secondly, we remind the guardians of women such as a father or a husband or a brother, due to the fact that (the Prophet) (‘alayhi ssalaat wa ssalaam) said: ‘Everyone of you is a shepherd and everyone of you is responsible for his flock. So the man is a shepherd and he is responsible for his flock-’[1] to the end of thehadeeth. Thus, the Arabic or general proverb states: ‘The horse is from the horseman.’ So you, the husband of the woman, it is not permissible for you to allow her to go out in this manner which puts to trial the middle-aged men, let alone the young men! And you, O man, O father, O brother, are supposed to be very jealous. Why? Because the Prophet (sallAllaahu ‘alayhi wa aalihi wa sallam) used to say: ‘A duyyooth will not enter Paradise.’[2] Why? Who is a duyyooth? He is the one who does not guard his womenfolk jealously.”

The Prophet sallallaahu ‘alayhi wasallam crying for his mother.
When the Messenger of Allaah sallallaahu 'alayhi wa sallam conquered Makkah, he came to a grave and sat beside it and appeared to be addressing someone.
The people sat around him, then he stood up weeping.
‘Umar came to him, and he was one of the boldest in speaking to him.
He said: May my father and mother be sacrificed for you, O Messenger of Allaah! What is it that’s made you weep?
He said: This is the grave of my mother. I asked my Lord to let me visit it, and He gave me permission. I asked Him to let me pray for forgiveness for her, but He didn’t give me permission. I remembered her and felt sad, so I wept. There was never a day on which he wept more than on that day.

Shaikh Ibn Baaz: Virtues of the Scholars🎓
بـسـم الله والحـمـد لله والـصلاة والـسـلام عــلى رسـول الله، وبـعـد
Concerning Allaah’s تعالى saying:
﴿شَهِدَ اللَّهُ أَنَّهُ لاَ إِلَـهَ إِلاَّ هُوَ وَالْمَلَـئِكَةُ وَأُوْلُواْ الْعِلْمِ قَآئِمَاً بِالْقِسْطِ لاَ إِلَـهَ إِلاَّ هُوَ الْعَزِيزُ الْحَكِيمُ﴾
{Allaah bears witness that none has the right to be worshipped but He, and the Angels, and those having knowledge (also bear witness to this)} [Surah aal-`Imraan (3): 18]
Shaikh Ibn Baaz رحمه الله said:
i. Allaah chose the people of knowledge to bear witness to his Oneness (Tawheed) over and above the rest of His Creation.
ii. Allaah honored the people of knowledge by mentioning their testimony along with His testimony.
iii. He raised high the status of the scholars by associating their testimony with the testimony of the angels
iv. This verse bears witness to the superiority of those who possess knowledge. Allaah does not make any of His creation bear witness except the upright among them.
v. Allaah made the scholars bear witness with the greatest and most excellent testimony and that is “None has the right to be worshiped except Allaah” (لا اله الا الله). Allaah, the Most High, does not bear witness except to matters of great importance and only the greatest from Allaah's creation bear witness to this.
vi. Allaah Himself bears witness to His Oneness, and He is the greatest of witnesses. Then He chose from His creation the Angels and the Scholars - this is sufficient to show their excellence.

The Muslim🇸🇦 is like a stranger in this worldly life:🌍
The stranger is one residing in a country other than his country. The worldly life is not the Muslim’s permanent place of residence; rather the Muslim’s permanent place of residence is Paradise. He is in this worldly life in order work for entry into Paradise. He takes what is needed from this world in order to aid him to work for entry into Paradise.
The Muslim is like a traveller in this worldly life:
The traveller takes rest during his journey and then carries on travelling. He does not reside permanently in that place he stopped to take a rest. In the life of this world the Muslim is that traveller. In reality he is not a permanent resident in the worldly life because his time in it is very little. His nights and days take him towards the afterlife.
What is befitting the Muslim with regards to the days, nights, and his health etc!
If you reach the morning do not delay good deeds till in the evening because it maybe that you will not reach the evening. If you reach the evening do not delay good deeds till the morning because it maybe that you will not reach the morning. Do not delay repentance and righteous deeds till another time.
As long as a person is in a state of good health and wellbeing, he is able to perform Sawm, Tahajjud etc; but when he becomes sick he is not able to perform Sawm, Tahajjud etc. Therefore, as long as Allaah has given you good health, then hasten towards righteous actions because a time will come in which you will be unable to perform them-either due to illness, old age, or senility.
Prepare for death and what is to come after it. Allaah gave you this life in order that you busy yourself with what will benefit you in the afterlife. So do not spend your life in play and jest.

The Attitude of The Believer Towards This Worldly Life When He Reaches The Morning And The Evening
In The Name of Allaah, The Most Merciful, The Bestower of Mercy Allaah (The Most High) informed us that the believer amongst the people of Pharaoh said: يَـٰقَوۡمِ إِنَّمَا هَـٰذِهِ ٱلۡحَيَوٰةُ ٱل…
"I always call for knowledge, because knowledge is the light one is guided with. I have however seen that the women are in greater need to wake up from this nightmare[ignorance] than men. They are so far away from knowledge and they let themselves be driven by desires."
•Ibn al-Jawzi Rahimahullah [Ahkaam un-Nisaa, p. 29]

Al Faatiha, the Surah we recite in every rak'ah at least 17 times daily, without which prayer is invalid, the Surah known as Ummul Qur'aan (mother of the Qur'aan).
The main reason this Surah is important is because its all about Tawheed. It containts Tawheed Ar Ruboobiyyah- singling out Allah Subhaana wa ta'aala as the Only Lord, Al Uloohiyyah - worshipping Him alone & asking only Him for help & Asma wa Sifaat - believing & affirming His Names & Attributes.
Did u know that when u recite Al Fatiha in ur prayer Allah Subhaana wa ta'aala responds to every verse? This is why u should PAUSE after every verse.
Many of us recite Al Fatiha very fast without paying attention to it rules of tajweed or ponder over its meaning...pls recite slowly & read its Tafsir..
The BEST Conversation In The World!
Allaah states in a Hadeeth al-Qudsi about Surah al-Faatihah:
“I have divided the prayer between Myself and My servant, into two halves, and My servant shall have what he has asked for.
When the servant says: “(All) praise is (due) to Allaah, Lord of the worlds,”
Allaah says: “My servant has praised Me.”
When the servant says: “The Entirely Merciful, the Especially Merciful,”
Allaah says: “My servant has extolled me.”
When the servant says: “Sovereign of the Day of Recompense,”
Allaah says: “My servant has glorified me.”
When the servant says: “It is You we worship and You we ask for help,”
Allaah says: “This is between Me and My servant, and My servant shall have what he asked for.”
When the servant says: “Guide us to the straight path – the path of those upon whom You have bestowed favor, not of those who have evoked (Your) anger or of those who are astray.”
Allaah says: “All these are for My servant, and My servant shall have what he asked for.”
[Reported by Muslim, Maalik, at-Tirmidhee, Abu Daawood, an-Nasaaee and Ibn Maajah]

Salutations upon Mohammad
(Be peace & blessings upon Him)
🌹🍁🌹🍁🌹🍁
It was narrated that 'Abdullah bin 'Amr said: "It was said to the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him): 'Which of the people is best?' He said: 'Everyone who is pure of heart and sincere in speech.' They said: 'Sincere in speech, we know what this is, but what is pure of heart?' He said: 'It is (the heart) that is pious and pure, with no sin, injustice, rancor or envy in it.'"
Sunan ibn-e-Majah

Sunan ibn-e-Majah
Vol.5, Book.37, Hadith.4356
(2914) and Abu Dawood (1464) narrated from ‘Abd-Allaah ibn ‘Amr that the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said:
“It will be said to the companion of the Qur’an: Recite and rise in status, recite as you used to recite in the world, for your status will be at the last verse that you recite.”
This hadeeth was classed as saheeh by al-Albaani in as-Silsilah as-Saheehah, 5/218, no. 2240
Shaykh al-Albaani (may Allah have mercy on him) said:
It should be noted that what is meant by the words “the companion of the Qur’an” is the one who memorises it by heart, based on the words of the Prophet (blessings and peace of Allah be upon him):
“The people should be led in prayer by the one who knows the most of the Book of Allah”
i.e., the one who has memorised the most.
So differences in status in Paradise are based on memorisation in this world, not recitation on that Day and reciting a great deal, as some people imagine. This clearly shows the virtue of the one who memorises the Qur’an, but that is on condition that he memorises it for the sake of Allah alone, may He be glorified and exalted, and he does not do it for worldly gain or to acquire wealth.
The Prophet (blessings and peace of Allah be upon him) said:
“Most of the hypocrites of my ummah will be reciters (of Qur’an).”
