And an advice to the many brothers who are absolutely careless regarding looking at Niqabi women on social media and in real life:
Regarding the Ayah: (وََخُلِقَ ٱلْإِنسَـٰنُ ضَعِيفًا)
"and man was created weak." [An Nisaa]
Taawus said, "In the matter of women, man is not weaker in any matter than he is in the matter of women." [Tafseer at Tabari]
and he said, "When he looks at women, he is not able to be patient."
Imam al-Ramli ash-Shaafa‘i said:
"It is haraam to look at a woman in niqab of whom nothing can be seen except her eyes, especially if she is beautiful. How much fitnah may be caused by looking at a woman’s eyes.
[Nihaayat al-Muhtaaj, 6/188]
A poet once said:
"If a person keeps looking at the eyes of pretty women,
then he will be in danger.
He will please his eyes with that which hurts his heart,
no welcome to a joy that results in harm."

Regarding Truthful Dreams
Ibn Hajar al-‘Asqalani رحمه الله says,
“Whenever the times are difficult for the believer, he will see dreams that are true frequently because he needs help. When the believer is alone, when the times are difficult, when you don’t find people supporting on truth, then Allah سبحانه و تعالى will inspire you to give you glad tidings through the good dreams you would see and this is to give the believers in those difficult and testing times gives the believers strength, it gives them confidence, it gives them hope so they would see a lot of dreams that would come true.”

The Du’aa of Abu Bakr Siddeeq رضي الله عنه when he was praised to his face:
" اللهم لا تؤاخذني بما يقولون ، واجعلني خيرا مما يظنون ، واغفر لي ما لا يعلمون "
“O Allāh, do not take me to account for what they say, and make me better than what they think, and forgive me for what they don’t know.”
You can fool people easily, but if people don’t know your reality, rest assured, Allāh knows it. We can’t fool our creator with our seemingly pious outer appearances and eloquent speech. Never let people’s positive opinions of you get to your head. If this was the Du’aa of the best man to walk the face of the Earth after the Prophets, then what should our attitude be when praised or thought well of?

Anyone who listens to this playlist in its entirety will see the deception of these neo-Salafis, by the tongues of those whom they love!
We ask Allah to guide the sincere amongst them, and to enrage the groveling bootlickers amongst them.

Q. Is it permissible to make duaa for the health of a non-Muslim relative?
A. There is no duah for the unbelievers. The Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم in an authentic hadith made duah for a tribe called Daws (قبيلة دوس) and also in an authentic hadith he made duah for a tribe called Thakeef (قبيلة ثقيف) - for Allah to guide them. Allah answered his duah and He guided them to Islam. This shows us the permissibility of only making duah for the unbelievers for their guidance. That's the only exception. There is a unanimous consensus on this matter of making duah for the unbelievers to be guided.
The Jewish people used to come to the Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم purposely sneezing, hoping that the Prophet would say to them, "May Allah have mercy on you", just as is said to the believers. But on the contrary, the Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم used to say to them, "May Allah guide you!"
That is proof that (other than for guidance) you cannot make duah for the unbelievers.
It's mentioned in Soorat At-Tawbah verse 113: It is not permissible for the Prophet(s) and those who believe to ask for Allah's forgiveness for the unbelievers (those who disbelieve in the Oneness of Allah), even if they're your relatives.

| Treatise on singing the Qur’ān | Shaykh Nasr al-Fahd فك الله اسره
The affair of the believer is truly strange, but what a beautiful strangeness it is
When inflicted with the harshest of trials and the most extended periods of tribulations, most of mankind falls into despair and grief, hating the trial and lamenting at being struck by it.
But the believer is so different. The believer experiences the worst of days and passes through the darkest of nights that seemingly have no end, and although his heart feels all the natural grief and pain that a human would experience, in the depths of his heart there is a strange breeze of relief, happiness, and contentment.
Relief knowing that his Lord didn’t leave him to live an easy life as He left his enemies to live, in knowing that if this Dunya has become a troubling abode for him, that he is not from those whom his Lord has left in peace to exceed in their transgressions, only to punish in the hereafter with the severest of punishments.
Happiness in knowing that his Lord is testing him because He loves him, and in knowing that his sins are being forgiven and his ranks are being raised.
And contentment in knowing that this was the decree of his Lord for him specifically that he could never avert from himself, and that when his Lord takes something, He gives better, and in knowing that every trial that afflicts him, it harms him once, but it benefits him tenfold the amount of that which it harmed him.
He raises his hands to Allāh while his eyes brim with tears but his heart smiles... because he knows that even if he gains nothing out of these trials except that his heart becomes fully reliant upon his Lord and he draws near to Him, that those are blessings worth more than the world and everything it contains.
Oh Lord, if you remove our burdens from us, we are pleased, and if you increase them, we only increase in our pleasure. We can bear patiently the difficulties of this life so long as we aren’t faced with any in the hereafter.

“And those who accuse chaste women, and produce not four witnesses, flog them with eighty stripes, and reject their testimony forever. They indeed are the Faasiqoon (liars, rebellious, disobedient to Allah." [al-Noor 24:4]
Rasulullah ﷺ said: “Avoid the seven sins that doom a person to Hell.” It was said: What are they, O Messenger of Allaah? He said: “Associating others with Allaah (shirk); witchcraft; killing a soul whom Allaah has forbidden us to kill, except in cases dictated by Islamic law; consuming orphans’ wealth; consuming riba; fleeing from the battlefield; and slandering chaste, innocent women.” [Bukhari & Muslim]
Al-Sa’di (رحمه الله) said:
"Allah has issued a stern warning against making accusations against chaste women, as He says: “Verily, those who accuse chaste women”, i.e., those who refrain from immoral actions, “who never even think of anything touching their chastity”, and such things would never cross their minds, “and are good believers — are cursed in this life and in the Hereafter”, and a curse applies only in the case of major sins.
The curse is confirmed because it is ongoing in this world and in the Hereafter. “and for them will be a great torment”. This is in addition to the curse, and shows that they are even further removed from divine mercy, and that His severe punishment will be upon them."

The Seventh Nullifier:
Sihr (magic). Linguistically: That where the cause and effect, process, or means is hidden and subtle is called sihr. Based upon that the end of the night is referred to as “sihra,” because it is the night’s darkest. Technically: There is no precise definition here for sihr due to its numerous types and categories. Therefore each type and category has its own specific definition attached to it. If one was to give a general definition then there are some generally acceptable ones such as: “It is a comprehensive term for every specified thing from illusions, tricks, and forbidden hidden matters."
Issue: When is sihr considered a nullifier? By knowing its categories the nullifier becomes clear, because not every category and type is a nullifier.
Its categories are:
1. The sihr of the incantation, amulets, and particular symbols.
The technical definition for this category is: the incantation and amulets used to separate a man from his spouse - with the permission of Allah. That is the definition given by ibn Qudamah for this type, and it is a nullifier because it involves seeking assistance from the devils and consists of actions that are major shirk. What is commonly known as “sarf,” is an example; it is to divert a person from someone he used to love, whether a woman or land. And the opposite of sarf is what is known as “‘atf.” Where one makes a person love something he used to hate. Another example is “sihr at-takhbil (magic tricks),” and it is what causes illusion to the eye so that it sees contrary to reality, such as viewing a stick as a snake, which is the sihr of the magicians of Fir‘awn. He (ta‘ala) said: “Then behold, their ropes and their sticks, by their magic, appeared to him as though they moved fast.” An example that occurs in modern times are the stunt and circus tricks where the magicians cut the head of an individual off and then returns it back… Or eats a whole snake, or pushes a car with his hair,and what is similar to all that. And so this [type of] sihr is a nullifier, and the criterion for what classifies it as such is “to practice matters that are not real,” which is beyond the ability of man to do. However, with regards to what is in the realm of some men to do whom Allah has given physical strength, such as bending a metal bar, then this is not from the types of sihr. But in the flying or walking in the air then that is from sihr at-takhyili.
2. The sihr of adwiyah and ‘aqaqir; they are concoctions which affect the brain resulting in imaginary fantasies. Regarding this category there occurs a difference of opinion amongst ahlul-‘ilm.
a. The first opinion is that of the Shafi‘iyyah who said this type of sihr is not kufr, and that the one who performs it is not a kafir. It is simply a form of oppression and transgression against others and corruption on earth. They said because the devils do not enter into this type. It is a narration within the madhhab, as well.[37]
b. The second opinion states that this is considered kufr because it is included within the scope of sihr and that is using hidden things that are not normal in order to change and affect the minds of people and their behaviors. They used the general proofs regarding sihr to prove like His (ta‘ala) saying: “And they followed [instead] what the devils had recited … teaching people magic.” And the ayah: “...who believe in jibt and taghut…” And jibt is sihr. And hadith of Abu Hurayrah in the sahih: “Avoid the seven destructive matters…”

And hadith of Abu Hurayrah in the sahih: “Avoid the seven destructive matters…”
Shaykh Sulayman ibn ‘Abdillah in his book Taysir al-‘Aziz al-Hamid in the chapter on sihr, after mentioning this difference of opinion, said: “There is no difference between the two opinions in reality. For the one who refrains from takfir thinks that sihr can be performed without shirk involved; but that is not the case. Rather, there is no sihr except through the devils and what involves shirk and the worship of the devils and stars… As for what is referred to as “sihr adwiyah,” which is performed with smoke and the likes, then this is not sihr but it is nonetheless considered prohibited due to its harmful effects, and the one who performs such should be punished.”
As for the type which the author intended, then it is the first type. Whereas the second type, what is correct is that it is a nullifier, but due to the difference of opinion one does not disbelieve until the hujjah (textual proof) is established. Where there occurs a [valid] disagreement one is excused due to ignorance. But as for the nullifier that has a consensus surrounding it, one is not excused if he was to live amongst the Muslimin.
The author categorized sihr into two categories: 1) The knowledge of sihr (i.e., learning and teaching). 2) Believing in sihr. The author said “whoever performs it (the sihr which consists of sarf and ‘atf) has disbelieved,” and he disbelieves by the mere action, regardless of what he believes even if he was to say: “I hate sihr,” or: “I don’t view it permissible, but I performed it for some worldly purpose and benefit.”
And the second category mentioned by the author is belief, as he said “or is pleased with it,” and - or - here signifies variation and that it is another category apart from the other. So whoever is pleased with sihr then he is a kafir even if he did not perform it.

The Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم said one time, sometimes a cloud comes over my heart and I seek refuge in Allah and I ask for Allah's forgiveness and repent to Him every single day seventy times. That's our Prophet, the best man Allah created, the Messenger of Allah who Allah had forgiven all of his past and future sins. The same messenger of Allah who used to offer prayer at such length that his heels would become swollen and bleed. Once upon witnessing this, Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) asked him: Why do you do that to yourself O Messenger of Allah when Allah has forgiven all your sins past and future?! He replied, O Aisha, should I not be a grateful slave of Allah?!
That's our excellent example, the Prophet. We should hasten to what the Prophet commanded us and his tradition. We should emulate him in all matters. He was sent as a mercy to mankind paving the way to paradise for us, a path of illumination surrounded by much darkness and evil which would have entangled and grasped us.
Hasten to all that which is good while you have been given the opportunity, you have been given life, health and more importantly capability in whatever you're able to do. Do not wait around until it's too late and you are replaced. Allah is not in need of your good rather you are in need of Allah's acceptance and mercy. Do not be of those who return to Allah - when it's too late - repeating: Alas, my grief, I have been undutiful to Allah. I did not do what Allah commanded me to do and I did not follow the command of His beloved Messenger!

Through feminism, women make themselves subservient to whims of men whilst imagining that they're defying them.
It's ironic how one of the main grievances against "patriarchy" is that it objectifies women, yet now we find that after the rise of feminism, prostitution (with another name) is glorified under the guise of being freedom and liberation. So a woman selling herself to fulfill the desires of men is not objectification of herself, but a woman covering herself from men to avoid enticing their desires, is somehow blameworthy and objectification. The reality is simply that feminism promotes objectification of the woman, so long as she's gaining some type of "benefit" from it. Under this ideology, a woman is so cheap that she can be bought, enjoyed, and then discarded as trash, and somehow, they deem this as empowerment and importance for women, simply because she chose this. The outcome is that she has now degraded herself to a mere commodity of enjoyment that can be bought and sold for pleasure, as if she were some item of food, and men have gained an advantage over her in the sense that they have the ability to enjoy her and get what they naturally desire, with no burden of any legal or moral responsibilities towards her or even any consequences. It has only increased convenience for men, as they are able to fulfill themselves without liability, while the woman is further devalued, burdened, and increasingly objectified.
The real liberation lies in the ability to deflect every type of lust driven look and thought from oneself. In Islam, a woman is only enjoyed in that way by one man — her husband, and in return he is obligated to provide for her fully, protect her, treat her kindly and fairly, and she inherits from him, among other rights. Under the protection of Islam, Muslim women, who truly follow Islamic laws regarding how they carry and conduct themselves, are not physically objectified nor are they viewed as something that can easily be attained and discarded. When a man (her husband) is permitted to enjoy her, he does so while being burdened with responsibilities regarding her that have consequences if not fulfilled, both in this life and after death. Islam values, honors, and protects women, all while maintaining her in an environment and lifestyle suited to her physical and emotional needs. If she truly follows Islam and lives by it in every aspect of her life, she will be fulfilled, empowered, and happy in every sense with her place in life and society.
We don't need Feminism or "Women's Emancipation/Liberation", we need Islam. It is Allah who created both men and women and He is most knowing of what rights both deserve and the places they belong in society, as well as of what burdens they are best suited to bear. If women are oppressed, it isn't the "patriarchy" or whatever that's to blame — its the deviance from the Fitrah and from the implementation of Islam, in both our societies and personal lives.

Some have argued that feminism is not about labeling covered women oppressed/objectified, but rather exists to give women the choice to cover or uncover. As a Muslim, we cannot support or even have any smidge of sympathy to an ideology that wants to give people the choice on whether or not they want to obey Allah or disobey him. Islam is a total way of life, and it rules by force, because The One who set the laws and prohibitions knows what’s best for people, and if He forbid something, it’s due to the fact that it’s harmful and evil. So it doesn’t matter if they want to say “we support your right to cover or uncover”. WE do not support the right of anyone to disobey Allāh by uncovering! Tell that to a feminist and just see what she labels you and how much she supports your choice after that. It’s an ideology that calls for Fahshaa and Fisq, a Muslim could never support it.
Let alone for us to say “Islam actually calls for Feminism” La Hawla Wa La Quwwata Illa Billah. Islam doesn’t call for anything like it, and anyone who believes so either doesn’t know what Islam is or they don’t know Feminism. Islam calls for complete and total submission to the will of The Creator and implementation of His laws over the entire Earth. They say “Islam calls for equal rights for men and women and so does Feminism”. What Islam do you follow if you believe men and women have equal rights and opportunities?? The rights of the man and the woman are justly allotted by Allāh, but they most certainly are not equal. A woman doesn’t even have the right to leave her home or get married without permission from her male guardian, and Alhamdulillah this is justice.
Men and women are on an equal status before Allāh when it comes to deeds and being rewarded for them, but men have been explicitly stated to have a status over women in controlling their worldly and religious affairs (to an extent). Allāh has given women all the rights that they need, and their rights are different from the rights of men, so to say that Islam calls to give both equal rights is far fetched and an exaggeration.
Don't fool yourself by trying to fit every new liberal agenda that arises in with Islam and claiming that Islam calls for them. Islam isn't something you have to try and keep relevant with the times by relating it to every new fad movement and trend, especially not the most vile and immoral movements as such.
One could go on and on pointing out literally every aspect of Feminism and how it contradicts Islam and harms women, and maybe we will someday, but for now this is enough.
Living in the West, most will not realize how indoctrinated they’ve become with these liberal ideologies, due to constant exposure to them in educational institutions and mass media campaigns that push the agenda forward 24/7, even subconsciously, we’re constantly being brainwashed. It’s only when you learn Islam properly and immerse yourself into it that you come to realize the reality of Feminism and what path it’s slowly leading society down.

Worship Allāh as if You Can See Him in This Life, and He Will Reward You With Gazing Towards His Face in the Hereafter
لِّلَّذِينَ أَحْسَنُوا۟ ٱلْحُسْنَىٰ وَزِيَادَةٌ ۖ
"For those who do good there is the best, and something more..." [Surat Yunus: 26]
Ibn Rajab رحمه الله says: "It is reported in Sahih Muslim from the Prophet ﷺ that the meaning of "more" in this verse is to gaze upon the countenance of Allāh in paradise. This rank is a reward for the people of Ihsān. The reasoning behind this reward is that Ihsān is the believer's worship of his Lord in this life, as if He is present. He fears Him as if he sees Him with his heart, and looks towards Him while in the state of worship. Thus, in the Hereafter, his reward is to gaze at the Face of Allāh (with his eyes)."
