أَتَأْمُرُونَ ٱلنَّاسَ بِٱلْبِرِّ وَتَنسَوْنَ أَنفُسَكُمْ وَأَنتُمْ تَتْلُونَ ٱلْكِتَـٰبَ ۚ أَفَلَا تَعْقِلُونَ

Do you order righteousness of the people and forget yourselves while you recite the Scripture? Have you then no sense?

I know people who started giving Da’wah solely because the thought of being a hypocrite scared them so much that they knew if they publicly preached something, they would 100% be forced by that fear act upon it. So they gave Da’wah regarding matters that they lacked in so they could terrify themselves to improve — and they would. Every post and statement was created with shaking hands and silent Du’ās to be aided in applying the words contained thereof, and so many permissible actions were left off out of fear of possible unpraiseworthy results which could reflect badly on the Da’wah they were involved in. Nowadays (may Allāh forgive us), some of us give Da’wah and abuse it by contradicting it behind the scenes, with flimsy excuses of misapplied quotes on not letting personal sins be a deterrent from preaching against them. Yes, the concept is correct, but no, it’s not an excuse to continue in whatever wrong one is engaged in or to feel better about your wrongs.

Hold yourself to a lofty standard and have full conviction that every word is a mighty weight around your neck and a mighty thing to live up to. Da’wah is an honor, don’t taint it with your filth behind closed doors and anonymity behind screens. One shouldn’t feel safe because of it, in fact, it should make you cautious and burdened by what you’re representing and teaching. If you had any respect for the field you’re engaged in, you would not engage in it and publicly engage in mighty sins simultaneously — out of fear of associating this Manhaj and the Haqq with such filth.

Too many of us haven’t engaged in proper purification of ourselves yet we want to be “poster boys” and spokespersons for Allāh’s Religion and the Truth.

May Allāh سبحانه وتعالى protect us from every contradicting what we call others to adhere to, and may Allāh forgive and guide every sincere believer.

#NEW | CAN ONE COMMIT SHIRK OR KUFR FOR THE SAKE OF MASLAHAH? | Shaykh Ahmad Musa Jibril (حفظه الله تعالى)

In the latest installment of refuting the doubts of the Zanadiqa, Shaykh Ahmad Musa Jibril (حفظه الله تعالى) addresses the oft-referenced excuse for committing the worst of crimes, Shirk & Kufr. They say that committing Shirk and Kufr for the sake of Maslahah is allowed, and they even shamelessly try and cite Classical Scholars to support their deluded claim or they try to futilely utilize principles of Usul al-Fiqh. The Shaykh addresses this, and more in this must-see video.

Fasting in Sha’bān

Fasting as many days as U can during the month before #Ramadan:

* Is a Sunnah!
* A nafl for Ramadan (like nafl is for Salah)
* Prep for Ramadan

— Shaykh Ahmad Jibril (حفظه الله)

Fasting the month of Sha’bān – A neglected Sunnah
——————
Narrated Abu Sa`īd (رضي الله عنه ):
I heard the Prophet (ﷺ) saying, "Indeed, anyone who fasts for one day for Allāh's Pleasure, Allāh will keep his face away from the (Hell) fire for (a distance covered by a journey of) seventy years."
[Sahihayn]

‘Ā’ishah (رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهَا) said:
“The Messenger of Allāh (ﷺ) used to fast all of Sha’bān, he used to fast Sha’bān except a few days.”
[Muslim (1156)]

Al-Nawawī (رحمه الله) said: In the words, “He used to fast all of Sha’bān, he used to fast Sha’bān except a few days” the second phrase explains the first, and indicates that the word “all” means “most of”. 
——————
Virtuous times like these should be taken advantage of in hastening towards good deeds.
Ibn Hajar (رحمه الله) said: "He (ﷺ) observed more voluntary fasts in Sha’bān than in any other month, and he used to fast most of Sha’bān."

Ibn Rajab (رحمه الله) said: "Fasting in Sha’bān is better than fasting in the Sacred Months, and the best of voluntary fasts are those that are (observed in the months) closest to Ramadān, before or after. The status of these fasts is like that of al-Sunan al-Rawātib which are done before and after Fardh and which make up for any shortfall in the number of obligatory prayers. The same applies to fasts observed before and after Ramadān. Just as al-Sunan Al-Rawātib are better than other kinds of voluntary prayers, so fasts observed before and after Ramadān are better than fasts at other times."

#NEW | REPLACING THE GREATEST MASLAHAH FOR THE GREATEST MAFSADAH?! | Shaykh Ahmad Musa Jibril (حفظه الله تعالى)

In the latest installment of refuting the doubts of the Zanadiqa, @sh_Ahmad_Jibril (حفظه الله تعالى) continues to expand upon the common excuse of committing Kufr and Shirk for Maslahah. This time, bringing to light the pure unintelligible delusion of using such an excuse, due to the simple fact that Tawheed itself is the greatest Maslahah, and Shirk is the greatest Mafsadah.

So ponder about how brainless one must be, to disqualify himself from the Greatest Maslahah (Tawheed), to achieve a secondary perceived maslahah, by way of committing the greatest Mafsadah (Shirk/Kufr).

نسال الله السلامة والعافية

دور جدید کے نقاب کے بارے میں شیخ علی الخضیر کا فتویٰ:

آپ نے (سوال میں) جس نقاب کا ذکر کیا ہے، مجھے اس کی شکل و صورت کا نہیں پتہ، لیکن اگر اس میں سے آنکھوں کی اوپر والی جگہ یا زینت یا رخساروں کے اوپر والے حصے میں سے کوئی چیز نظر آئے، جیسے کہ آج کل کے عام نقابوں میں ہے، تو یہ حرام ہے اور جائز نہیں اور یہ الصفور (تبرج/زینت دکھانا) کی ایک قسم ہے۔ اور درحقیقت اسلاف کی عورتوں کا نقاب یہ تھا کہ وہ صرف ایک آنکھ نکالتی تھیں ایک چھوٹے سے سوراخ سے, صرف اتنا جس میں سے دیکھا جا سکے۔

الشوکانی نے فتح القدیر (4/304) میں کہا:
“کہ اپنے اوپر اپنی چادروں کے پلو لٹکا لیا کریں۔”
اس آیت کے بارے میں مفسرین نے کہا کہ ایک آنکھ کے علاوہ چہرے اور سر کو ڈھانپنا ہے۔

[شیخ علی الخضیر کے 200 سوالات و جوابات]

Fatwā From Shaykh ‘Ali Al-Khudayr Regarding the Modern Day Niqāb:

"As for the Niqāb that you mentioned (in the question), I do not know its form or how it looks, but if anything appears of the eyelids or the adornment or the upper cheek as do the popular Niqābs (of today) then this is Harām and not allowed and is a type of As-Safoor (Tabarruj/adorning oneself), and indeed the Niqāb of the women of the Salaf was to show one eye from a very small slit/opening as much as the eye lens, as if it were a hole.

Ash-Shawkāni said in Fath Al-Qadīr (4/304), "About the verse “Tell…the believing women to wrap around themselves their Jilbābs,” the Mufassirīn stated that they are to cover their faces and heads except one eye.

Our beloved brother Abu Unais was found guilty, they gave the verdict yesterday. Hasbunallah wa ni'mal wakeel. Alhamdulillah alaa kulli haal. May Allah hasten his release, and make it easy on our sister and the family. Ya Allah soothe their hearts. Ya Rabb grant them relief Ya Rabb. Hasten his release and reunite them in the happiest of circumstances Ya Wadud.

The other brother was not found guilty Alhamdulillah. Alhamdulillah.

In a time when mainstream charities take cuts from donations, finding a trustworthy charity that operates on a 100% donation policy is rare. Support Muslims In Need this Ramadan where every penny truly reaches those in need.

Once again for this Ramadan, we will be fundraising for the Iftar appeal, just £1 per Iftar meal to feed the poor and needy. We will also be collecting Zakah which will be distributed in cash, hand to hand. Full media transparency will be shared on our instagram story throughout Ramadan. Donation links will be shared near to the time.

‘And they give food, inspite of their love for it (or for the love of Him), to Miskin (poor), the orphan, and the captive, (Saying): "We feed you seeking Allah's Countenance only. We wish for no reward, nor thanks from you.’ [76:8-9]

As Shaykh Ahmad (حفظه الله) eloquently put it, your donation could be the light at the end of an orphans or widows darkest hour.
