Wouldn't you be pleased with forgiveness of your Lord for every sin you've committed in this world? Wouldn't you be pleased with His mercy and with all He has prepared for the believers in the akhirah? A house near Him. Or beauty and happiness and the best provision? Or having whatever you wish given to you by your Lord? Or loving, beautiful wives created especially for you? All that combined and much more for all eternity...

So what's the matter with you who let all that slip from your hands while sitting back in a comfortable house and stable life. What's the matter with you who neglects the right muslims prisoners have upon you, You who deny the immense reward of helping to free a prisoner or support the family of a mujahid or a wife of shaheed and orphans. What's the matter?

If you have the means to free a prisoner then it's fard upon you, but unfortunately this is something largely ignored by the Ummah wasting this chance spending on cars, vacations and parties while your sisters are left imprisoned in dire conditions.

While you live your life, they survive by Allaah's help. While you have a good time with loved ones, they cry in the absence of their loved ones and their sons who are being snatched away from them.

Dunya is not worthy compared to what Allaah has prepared for the good doers and the ones who give sadaqah for His sake. If you don't come forward and take action Allaah will replace you for people who will do their utmost efforts to fulfill their duties and attain the reward you have denied. Don't exchange a reward you'll enjoy for all eternity for temporary worldly pleasures. Don't waste time as our days are limited.

Abu Hurairah (May Allaah be pleased with him) reported:
Messenger of Allaah (ﷺ) said, "Hasten to do good deeds before you are overtaken by one of the seven afflictions." Then (giving a warning) he said, "Are you waiting for such poverty which will make you unmindful of devotion; or prosperity which will make you corrupt, or disease as will disable you, or such senility as will make you mentally unstable, or sudden death, or Ad-Dajjal who is the worst expected absent, or the Hour, and the Hour will be most grievous and most bitter". [At-Tirmidhi].

And Allaah says
وَفِى ذَٰلِكَ فَلْيَتَنَافَسِ ٱلْمُتَنَٰفِسُونَ

So for this let the competitors compete. 83:26

So stand up and compete with each other in good deeds before it's too late. Remember whatever you give in sadaqah, big or small, Allaah knows and He does not allow the reward of the muhsineen to be wasted.

#Misconception regarding covering the face at Hajj ~ #Important

Bismillâh, firstly I would like to bring an Ijmā' regarding covering the face at Hajj with the presence of men around, so Imām ibn 'Abdîl Barr (رحمه الله) , ibn Qudāmah (رحمه الله) & many others have mentioned this consensus. Imām ibn 'Abdîl Barr (رحمه الله) said "They [the scholars] have agreed that a woman wears all the Makhīt [clothes that covers her body], and socks, and [it’s Wājib] for her to cover her head, and cover her hair, except her face, so she lowers upon herself a fabric garment, a light veil which covers her face from the onlooking of the men" Refer to al-Tamhīd (15/108) & al-Istidhkār (11/28-29) by Imām ibn 'Abdîl Barr (رحمه الله) and Imām ibn Qudāmah (رحمه الله) said "We do not know any difference of opinion regarding it" Refer to al Mughnī(5/154). If you want more sayings, just let me know inshā'Allâh.

This is just to show you that the Salaf didn't disagree regarding the obligation of covering the face in the presence of men, for a free woman. Now, there are two issues we need to understand at Hajj, because Allâh (جلا وعلا) has prescribed certain dresscodes at Hajj, just like a man is prohibited to only wear 1 Garment in Salâh. So we can divide the two issue into the following:

1. It's Harām for a woman to wear Niqāb at Hajj and the Hadīth of the Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم is explicit regarding this.

2. It's compulsory for a woman to cover her face in the presence of non-Mahram men in Hajj, and I've mentioned the consensus of the Salaf regarding this issue.

What we need to understand is that Allâh (جلا وعلا) has forbidden certain clothes for women and men to wear at Hajj. For e.g. It's Harām for a man to wear Khuff (leather socks), regular clothes like shirts & shorts, undergarments etc...Likewise it's Harām for a woman to wear the Niqāb & Quffāz [gloves].

However, this does not mean that because wearing a Niqāb & Gloves at Hajj is Harām, it means that it's permissible to show the body parts that those material covers up. Because the ruling deals with the clothing, not what's beneath it.

So a man can cover up his feet, but he's prohibited to wear the Khuff, and likewise he covers all his body parts, specifically in those areas that are prohibited to wear the specified clothes. He covers all his body except his head, and doesn't wear a shirt or underwear etc...And we can't say that he must reveal his body parts from where Allâh (جلا وعلا) has forbidden to wear separate clothes in those areas.

Likewise a woman can cover her hands with some fabric & she won't be sinful at all, however if she wears gloves, she will be sinful, so the prohibition is regarding the specific cloth, not the body part. Therefore the ruling of covering the body parts of a man & woman remains, and they must cover the specified areas where certain clothes are prohibited depending if it's considered 'Awrâh or not.

So if it's an area which must be covered, and the state of Ihrām doesn't change the ruling of covering your 'Awrâh. And the Prophet (صلى الله عليه وسلم) never prohibited a woman to cover her face, rather he prohibited her to wear Niqāb in specific, that's connected to her clothing.

So those that say she must show her face because the Prophet (صلى الله عليه وسلم) prohibited the Niqāb is indeed false. Because if this was the case, then the man would have to show his private parts, since the Prophet (صلى الله عليه وسلم) prohibited him to wear undergarments. This is in the same context & same rules apply.

It's reported in Bukhārī (134) & Muslim (1177) by 'Abdûllâh ibn 'Omar (رضي الله عنهما) that: "A man said, "O Allah's Messenger (صلى الله عليه وسلم). What type of clothes should a Muhrim wear? Allah's Messenger (صلى الله عليه وسلم) replied, 'Do not wear shirts, turbans, trousers, hooded cloaks, or Khuffs (socks made from thick fabric or leather); but if someone cannot get sandals, then he can wear Khuffs after cutting them short below the ankles. Do not wear clothes touched by saffron or wars (two kinds of perfumes)."

The Sahābah (رضي الله عنهم) differentiated between the two matters, regarding the prohibition of the Niqāb & covering the Face, and it's Authentic from 'Attā' (رحمه الله) from Abī al-Sha'thā' (رحمه الله) from ibn 'Abbās (رضي الله عنهما) that he said "She places [hangs down] the Jilbāb over her face, and she doesn't put it forth, I said: And what is "She doesn't put it forth"? So he showed me how woman wears the Jilbāb, then he showed me: What is upon her cheeks from the Jilbāb, he said: She turns it around & places it upon her face, just like it's hanging upon her face"

This was narrated by Imām al-Shāfi'ee (رحمه الله) in his Musnad (1/303 - #788) and in "al-Umm" (3/370-371), and it's narrated by Imām Abū Dāwūd (رحمه الله) in "Masā'il al-Imām Ahmad"(#732) & Imām al-Shāfi'ee (رحمه الله) didn't mention Abī al-Sha'thā' (رحمه الله).

This is supported by another Authentic narration which was reported by Tāwûs (رحمه الله),he said: "The woman in the state of Ihrām [i.e. at Hajj] hangs her fabric garment upon her face, and she doesn't wear Niqāb" Refer to Kitāb al-Umm (3/371) as it was related by Imām al-Shāfi'ee (رحمه الله) ,and refer to the Musannâf of ibn Abī Shaybâh (رحمه الله) Hadīth #14540.

You will also see the sayings from the Imāms of the Madhabs that a woman should make Tawāf at night, so no men can see her, clearly indicating the obligation of Niqāb, however the Sahābiyyāt in the state of Ihrām would not wear the Niqāb, rather they will veil themselves with something else.

There's an Authentic narration from Fātimah bint al-Munthiri (رضي الله عنها) that she said: "We would veil our faces while we were Muhrimāt (in the state of Ihrām), in the company of Asmā' bint Abī Bakr (رضي الله عنها)." Refer to al-Muwattâ' (1/328) by Imām Mālik (رحمه الله) and it was also narrated by the great Imām Ishāq ibn Rāhawayh (رحمه الله) in his Musnad (2255).

So to conclude, I have posted evidences in the past regarding the obligation of covering the face in the presence of men, but some sisters had a misconception regarding Niqāb at Hajj. So what I say is that if there are men around, a woman is obliged to cover her face, just like if she was in Salâh. And the prohibition of Niqāb doesn't mean she must show her face, rather she can cover it with another material. Even her hands, her garments can cover it, but she can't wear the specific gloves that the Prophet Muhammad (صلى الله عليه وسلم) has made Harām. The scholars say, if a woman purposely shows her face to non-Mahram men at Hajj, she's sinful. And she's also sinful if she wears the Niqāb at Hajj. However, if she does this, there is no Fidyâ (expiation) upon her according to the correct opinion, except that she is sinful as mentioned by Shaykh Sulaymān al-'Alwān others.

And Allâh (سبحانه و تعالى) knows best

How can there be peace in this universe…?!

Allāh said in the Qur'ān about the Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم :

وَمَا أَرْسَلْنَاكَ إِلا رَحْمَةً لِلْعَالَمِينَ
We have not sent you but as a mercy to all the universe.
[Sūrah al Anbiyā verse 107]


Mercy. The Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم was a mercy. How could he be a mercy if he didn't teach this world the appropriate manner?

If a neighbor can't live next to a neighbor, in peace, if a brother cannot guarantee his other brother will not talk about him, how can there be peace in this universe?!

Bottled water. For some this will sound maybe as a priveleged product and much would even say just drink from the tap. In the camps there are red water tanks, everyone probably saw them already in pictures. Every street shares 2 big tanks aprox. 500 lt. This water is used to, drink, clean, toilet, shower, basicly for everything. As the water seems clean at first sight coming out of the tank, sisters and children where continiously sick from drinking it. Sicknesses such as Hepatite, Thyfoid, dhiarrea ongoing for months, children skin colour started to become yellow.. So some of the sisters decided to climb on the water tanks to look how it looked inside.. Allahul musta'an. They found 2 types of mucus/mushroom growing in it, a red and green variant, they found small wurms (alive) and on the bottom verry much black mud/sand. This was the moment the sisters decided to buy bottled water, at least for the children. There is much sisters who arent able to buy bottled water because it cost money, in the summer a average person (with this heat) can drink up to 3 to 5 lt every day. One packet of bottled water 6 bottles of 1.5 lt. A family of 3 (sister and 2 children) will last 2 days with a packet, some sisters buy the bottled water but only giving it to their chileren because of expensive. This result in mothers being continiously sick and weak. We don't complain because in the end we got used to it and just accept it alhamdulilah. Brothers and sisters, if you can reach out and spend only a little to provide the children with clean drinking water, we dont ask for luxery, just clean drinking water. If you cannot help the least you can do is make dua for us please

JazakumAllahu khayran

A donation of 50 dollar will provide 4 families of (3 familysize) each a whole month with bottled water in sha Allah

“Whatever the Messenger (صلى الله عليه وسلم) narrates from his Lord, it is obligatory to believe in it, whether we understand its meaning or not, because he (صلى الله عليه وسلم) is the most truthful one...”

— Refer to “Majmū’ al-Fatāwā” (3/41).

إنا لله وإنا إليه راجعون

A 4-year-old child has returned to his lord after being run over by a tanker truck. The tanker drove into the al-Hol detention camp to refill the water tanks.

The children were playing outside. This is not the first child to have been run over by a tanker.

May Allah shower his mother with Sabr. He has spent more than half of his short life in captivity.

Inna lillahi wa inna ilayhi raji'oen

Keep us in your duas inshaAllaah

Only Allaah knows how we feel. The fear of being raided any time and have our belongings stolen by the soldiers. Fear of getting arrested and see our children being taken away from us...

The saddest part is the children, they are so traumatized. Some don't like their moms to take pictures of them because it's well known the soldiers come inside people's tents taking pictures of them if they're looking for someone. The children say 'mama don't take picture of me, the kuffar will take me'.
They get worried anytime someone strange knocks at our tents, they say 'mama the kuffar will take you?'
Wallahi i heard these things from my own child.

We know it's a test from Allaah and we expect good from Him always. We hope for a way out to a better place where we can raise our kids without fear, where we can walk freely fearing no one but Allaah.

Keep us in your duas and make dua against the criminals and their supporters who imprisoned us.

And feel free to help your sisters.

You often hear people repeating statements like "You can still do everything you used to do before wearing proper Hijab after wearing it", and "Hijab/Niqab doesn't limit you whatsoever".

This is wrong. Hijab/Niqab DOES and SHOULD limit you from doing things, and when you try to push through those limitations you end up making a mockery of the covering. It's a fact that once you start covering according to the Shari'ah you are barred and prevented from doing many things you used to do before covering and that's perfectly OKAY.

Certain things are not allowed for Muslim women in general, but you will still find those sisters who don't cover properly doing them. But once sisters start covering, they realize that they feel uncomfortable doing those same things as a covered woman and they will find that their covering actually prevents them from certain things.

For example, as a woman in a Jilbab or Niqab, you cannot swim in public pools (no muslim should in fact, man or woman). You cannot eat in free mixed restaurants (again something no Muslim should). You cannot attend free mixed weddings. You cannot ride a bike in public, and so on and so forth

These are all things that perhaps you used to do before covering, and once you start covering you will begin to naturally feel awkward and prevented from doing these same things and you will find it hard to cover while doing them. This is not oppression, this is the natural BLESSINGS that come with covering properly - that you are prevented from doing these things that are either prohibited or they require you to compromise your covering.

Many sisters used to eat in free mixed restaurants, but once they donned the Niqab they naturally pulled away from doing so because the Niqab prevented them from eating comfortably in public, and along with that they stopped the sin of free mixing in restaurants.

Many sisters used to swim in public pools, and once they started covering they realized that this is something that is unbefitting of a woman covered so nobly, that she should bathe in a pool full of shirtless men and naked women.

Likewise, the free mixed weddings become awkward and everybody stares at the sister in Niqab amongst the crowd of scantily dressed women, so she naturally stops attending.

And riding a bike requires one to wear a less covering Jilbab or else she might injure herself. It also shows the shape of the thighs and exposes the ankles and the breeze from riding makes the clothes stick to the body. So a sister who cares about covering would stop riding where people can see her.

These are examples of how simply doing one act properly (Hijab) one is naturally repulsed from so many other acts that an uncovered woman does so easily. That's a blessing not a curse, as some sisters act like it is.

Now we have women trying to make sure they continue doing all the same things that they used to do before covering so that they don't look oppressed or feel limited. Because of this, we see pictures of sisters in Niqab/Jilbab in swimming pools in the midst of shirtless men and naked women, soaked from head to toe with their Jilbab clinging to every curve of their bodies. Tell me, is that acceptable of a woman dressed like the Sahabiyaat? All in the name "no limitations" due to Hijab.

We see Akhawat making sure to continue free mixed studies after donning Niqab to show people that the Hijab won't stop her from anything. We see Akhawat riding bikes in Jilbab around crowds of men with their ankles exposed and their clothing pushed by the wind against them. We see sisters attending free mixed weddings in their Niqab even though they feel out of place, just because they don't want to feel like they can't do something now that they're covered.

You see sisters working out in Jilbaab and Niqab! If you have to cover when working out, that means you're doing it in a place you shouldn't be in the first place (free mixed place where men can see you, and where you will see the 'Awrah of others). And when exercising, it's impossible to maintain the standard of modesty we are required to uphold. You cannot prevent your shape from becoming apparent when doing various exercises.

The whole point of this is to say: Proper Hijab does limit you, it does restrict what you do. Because once you put it on you are representing yourself as an honorable, noble, free Muslimah and a granddaughter of the Sahabiyaat (may Allah be pleased with them all). You will NOT be able to do everything you did before, and that is from the blessings of covering, that Allah guides you to leave off other prohibited things as well and guides you to carry yourself in a more modest way, even in your actions. There is no need for you to push yourself to continue acting as you did before, as this only makes you look foolish and oftentimes causes you to compromise and contradict your Hijab. Accept the limitations that come with covering properly as blessings and see the Hijab as a protection from all sorts of indecency and immodesty.

If you want to swim, do it privately. If you want to ride a bike, do it in a secluded area. If you want to attend weddings, attend segregated ones. If you want to continue your education, you can pursue it in segregated schools or online. Workout at home or in a secluded area. Hijab won't prevent you from Halal, only from Haram. Don't try to push through those limitations and think you're doing something revolutionary by swimming in a Jilbab or Niqab. It's only a contradiction of the covering.


Side Note: There's no such thing as a modest swimsuit, even if it's a whole Jilbab. Once it's wet, it's not modest anymore. Aside from that, public pools/swim areas are one of the most severe and abhorrent forms of free mixing as they combine free mixing with looking at the 'Awrah of others, both men and women. It's astonishing how common it is for Muslim families to bring their children and themselves to spend Summer days at such filthy places. Allahul Musta'an.

Allāh will never let His creation be a partner in His ruling and judgment. He is indeed the only One Who rules (legislates) and judges, and He manages them (the creations) in whatever way He wills."

This verse shows the shirk of worshiping others besides Allāh in His Judgment and Legislation and there is absolutely no difference between the one who prostrates to idols and the one who commit shirk with Allāh in His Judgment and Legislation. Both are Mushriks.

Selected Fatāwā | Fatāwā 801
Is it permissible to observe voluntary fasts in the first ten days of Dhul-Hijjah, or is it a bidʿah?

@FatawaArchives2

Selected Fatāwā | Fatāwā No: 801

Question: Is it permissible to observe voluntary fasts in the first ten days of Dhul-Hijjah, or is it a bidʿah?

Answer: It is recommended to draw closer to Allah (ʿazza wa jall) by voluntary deeds and acts of obedience, especially in these blessed days. It was narrated on the authority of Ibn ʿAbbas (radiyallahu ʿanhuma) said: “The Messenger of Allah (sallallahu ʿalayhi wa alihi wa sallam) said: ‘There are no days on which righteous deeds are done in them that are more beloved to Allah than these ten days (i.e. the first ten days of Dhul-Hijjah).’” And this hadith is hasan sahih.

And no doubt, fasting is from the righteous deeds. It was narrated as in Abu Dawud from some of the wives of the Prophet (sallallahu ʿalayhi wa alihi wa sallam), that they said: “The Messenger of Allah (sallallahu ʿalayhi wa alihi wa sallam) would fast the nine days of Dhul-Hijjah and the day of ʿAshuraʾ.”

As for those who say that it is bidʿah, then there’s no need to obey them, and their statement is irregular and rejected.

NEW VIDEO | Believing that jews and christians are saved is disbelief in Allāh by Shaykh Al-Muhaddith 'Abd Allāh As-Sa'd

In a lecture by Shaykh 'Abd Allāh ibn Jibrīn (رحمه الله) about the true meaning of religious commitment, he said on page 10:

Undoubtedly the Sunnah of the Prophet ﷺ is written down and is close at hand and easily accessible to the one who seeks it. All we have to do is look for it. If we learn a Sunnah we must act upon it so that it will be true when it is said of us that so and so is religiously-committed. We should pay no attention to those who put us down, despise us or mock us etc.

Sunnan [plural for Sunnah] may be obligatory, or they may be Mustahab [recommended], or they may come under the heading of good manners or good attitude. The Muslim should do every Sunnah that he is able to, seeking reward.

The religiously-committed person is the one who, every time he hears a Hadīth, rushes to apply it and is very keen to act upon it, whether it is Mustahab [recommended] or nāfil [supererogatory].

So for example, you may see him going to the mosque early and feeling sad if someone else gets there before him, or you may see him striving to read more Qur’ān and recite more dhikr than others, or you may see him doing a lot of different kinds of acts of worship, striving to ensure that all his deeds and acts of worship are in accordance with the Sunnah, with no element of bid’ah, so that these deeds and acts of worship will be acceptable to Allāh, because when a deed is accepted the Muslim attains the good pleasure of his Lord. We ask Allāh to make all our deeds acceptable to Him, for He is the All-Hearing, Ever-Responsive.
