LIFESTYLE OF A MUSLIMAH

The Messenger of Allah pbuh took hold of my hand and said: " O Mu'adh! By Allah I love you, so I advise you to never forget to recite after every prayer: Allaahumma a' inni ala dhikrika, wa shukrika, wa husni ibadatika" ( Oh Allah, help me to remember You, to be grateful to You, and to worship You in an excellent manner). Abû Dawud

Allah said, ﴿وَأَقِيمُواْ الصَّلَوةَ وَءَاتُواْ الزَّكَوةَ وَمَا تُقَدِّمُواْ لأَنْفُسِكُم مِّنْ خَيْرٍ تَجِدُوهُ عِندَ اللَّهِ﴾ (And perform the Salah and give the Zakah, and whatever of good you send forth for yourselves before you, you shall find it with Allah). Allah encouraged the believers to busy themselves in performing deeds that would bring them benefit and reward on the Day of Resurrection, such as prayer and paying Zakah. This way, they will gain Allah's aid in this life and on a Day when the witnesses testify, ﴿يَوْمَ لاَ يَنفَعُ الظَّـلِمِينَ مَعْذِرَتُهُمْ وَلَهُمُ الْلَّعْنَةُ وَلَهُمْ سُوءُ الدَّارِ ﴾ (The Day when their excuses will be of no profit to the Zalimin (wrongdoers). Theirs will be the curse, and theirs will be the evil abode (i.e. painful torment in Hell-fire)) (40:52). This is why Allah said, ﴿إِنَّ اللَّهَ بِمَا تَعْمَلُونَ بَصِيرٌ﴾ (Certainly, Allah sees what you do), meaning, that He is never unaware of the deeds of any person, nor w...

This is a very important message for wives, fiancees, daughters, mothers and for all women.      The Prophet (saw) said: "O Ali, on the night of my ascension (Miraj)I saw women of my ummah who were being severely punished that I became concerned for them and started cyring. 1)I saw a woman who had been hung by her breast. 2) I saw a second woman who was eating her own flesh and fire raged below her. 3)A third woman was hanging by her tongue and boiling water was being poured down her throat. 4)A fourth was bent over, her hands and feet were tied together,and snakes and scorpions were crawling all overher 5)A fifth was deaf, dumb, and blind, enclosed in a cage of fire her brain oozing out of the holes in her skull.

- Fiqh of the family » Rights of spouses. What are the rights of the husband and what are the rights of the wife? what are a wife's rights on her husband according the Quran and Sunnah? or what are a husbands duties to his wife and viceversa? Praise be to Allaah. Islam has enjoined upon the husband duties towards his wife, and vice versa, and among these duties are some which are shared by both husband and wife.  We will mention – by the help of Allaah – some of the texts of the Qur’aan and Sunnah which have to do with the duties of the spouses towards one another, quoting also from the commentaries and views of the scholars.  Firstly:  The rights of the wife which are hers alone:  The wife has financial rights over her husband, which are the mahr (dowry), spending and accommodation.  And she has non-financial rights, such as fair division between co-wives, being treated in a decent and reasonable manner, and not being treated in a harmful way ...

THE HUSBAND WIFE RELATIONSHIP IN ISLAM Marwan Boustany As is commonly (if not always) the case in the Qur’an, we can look at a topic from the general perspective and from the specific perspective.  The general perspective acts as the interpretive context for specific guidelines.  Whether it is modesty, marriage or economic theory, we have two levels of consideration to guide us to a proper interpretation. The General Guidelines The following general guidelines must be adhered to always in a marriage and they must act as the background for the specific guidelines dealt with in the next section. Love, Mercy and Tranquillity وَمِنْ آيَاتِهِ أَنْ خَلَقَ لَكُم مِّنْ أَنفُسِكُمْ أَزْوَاجًا لِّتَسْكُنُوا إِلَيْهَا وَجَعَلَ بَيْنَكُم  ۚ إِنَّ فِي ذَٰلِكَ لَآيَاتٍ لِّقَوْمٍ يَتَفَكَّرُ‌ونَ And of His signs is that He created for you from yourselves mates that you may find tranquillity in them; and He placed between you .  Indeed in that are signs for a p...

SEARCHING FOR A LIFE PARTNER In life, one of the most important choice you will need to make is who to marry. This choice is so important that if you miss it, you will suffer for long, if you get it right then you will enjoy forever. A bad marriage can affect every other area of your life. This subject is so important to the extent that so many married people are hoping to be single again so as to be able to make the right choice all over again. If you are single please don't just be in a hurry to get married, because you still have the best opportunity to prepare for it. For two people to come together to live in peace and harmony, they must agree spiritually, mentally and physically. Just like an elephant cannot marry an ant so also a believer cannot marry an unbeliever. If an elephant marries an ant how would they live, if a goat marries a fish where would they meet? You must look for a sincere and righteous man or a sincere and righteous woman to marry, nothing can beat t...

"So whosoever disbelieves, on him will be his disbelief." (Quran 35:39) Islam is not affected when a person leaves it. Allah does not need us nor does the religion. The Muslim ummah continues to grow, despite those who leave and think they have found a better way. Asking Muslims to be inclusive of those who leave the faith is absurd, it is the biggest brotherhood in the world. What unites us as a community is our faith - so when a person decides to leave, then we won't welcome his disbelief and he will leave this brotherhood of over 1 billion people. There is no compulsion in the religion and especially here in the west, we have to accept that there are those who have had bad experiences with their families / masajid / imams etc and this leads them out of the faith. Likewise, with a lack of emphasis on learning the correct creed, some 'Muslims' are bound to leave Islam when they are faced with theories such as Evolution, Big Bang etc. People apostated from...

Praying for enemies in Islam By Abu Amina Elias In the name of Allah, the Gracious, the Merciful It was the practice of the Prophet ﷺ to supplicate and pray to Allah to guide his enemies of Islam and to benefit them in the Hereafter. Islam teaches us to love for others what we love for ourselves. Each one of us wants to be guided and, therefore, we should ask Allah to guide others even if they are unbelievers, sinners, or oppressors. Abdullah ibn Mas’ud reported: I saw the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, tell the story of a prophet who was beaten by his people and he wiped the blood from his face, saying: رَبِّ اغْفِرْ لِقَوْمِي فَإِنَّهُمْ لاَ يَعْلَمُونَ My Lord, forgive my people for they do not know. Source: Ṣaḥīḥ al-Bukhārī 6530, Grade: Muttafaqun Alayhi In another narration, the Prophet ﷺ himself said this prayer after being attacked and harmed during the battle of Uhud: اللَّهُمَّ اغْفِرْ لِقَوْمِي فَإِنَّهُمْ لا يَعْلَمُونَ O Allah, forg...

Ibn Qayyim said: When a servant combines in his supplication; 1. with the presence of the heart and it being attentive and devoting itself solely to Allāh, sincerely asking Him for the desired matter. 2. Doing so at one of the six times when a supplication is most likely to be answered;    - the last third of the night - at the time of the adhan - between the adhan and iqamah - At the end of the prescribed/obligatory prayers. - From the time the imam ascends to the pulpit till the time the prayer has finished on the day of Jummuah. - The last hour after the Asr prayer (on Fridays). 3. Alongside this the servant has attached to this fear and reverence in the heart, besieging His Lord in a state of humility and submissiveness. 4. He faces the qiblah 5. He is in a state of purity 6. He raises his hands to Allāh 7. To begin praising Allāh and extolling Him 8. Then he sends Salaah upon Muhammed, His Slave and His Messenger ﷺ 9. He proceeds mentioning His ne...
