LIFESTYLE OF A MUSLIMAH

- 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 ...

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...

*The SHORTEST BUT POWERFUL PRAYER** Assalamu Alykum Warahmathullahi Wabarakathuhu To All.. Al-Abbas (R.A.), the uncle of the Prophet (ﷺ), came to the Prophet (ﷺ) and said: “Ya Rasulullah, teach me a du'a.” The Prophet ( ﷺ) said: “O my uncle, say: Allahumma inni as'aluka al-afiyah (O Allah, I ask you for afiyah).” Now what is Afiyah? Afiyah means - “to save me from any afflictions. To be healthy, you are in afiyah. To have enough money, you are in afiyah. To live, you are in afiyah. To have your children protected, you are in afiyah. And if you are forgiven and not punished, you are in afiyah." So basically Afiyah means: “O Allah, protect me from any pain and suffering.” This includes both dunya and akhirah. Al-Abbas (R.A.) thought about this for a while, and then he came back after a few days and said (paraphrased): “Ya Rasulullah, this du'a seems a little short. I want something big.” The Prophet (ﷺ) said: “My dear uncle, ask Allah f...

Why is EVERYTHING unislamic so appealing to the Ummah ? The sad reality is that even though many of us abstain from that which is prohibited, yet we still secretly love it. Why, why, why? Even though we abstain from drinking wine, we imitate the manner in which wine is drunk.... Hence, we find it enjoyable to have our halaal drinks in wine glasses. We prefer juices that appear in bottles that resemble wine bottles too. Why, why, why ? In recent times, many Muslim women are donning the Sari (the traditional dress of Hindu women). According to many scholars, this is prohibited. So what do we do??? We can't wear a sari, so we design a "Sari Abbaya" to resemble the look of a Sari!!! Will hindus ever design an abbaya sari?? I doubt it very much!!! Then further, we have become proud to display Kuffaar names on our Islamic garments: Christian Dior, Guess, Burberry, Levis, and the list goes on..... We can't listen to music, so we add music to Islamic songs and make...

 Narrated `Abdullah bin `Umar:   The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "Night prayer is offered as two rak`at followed by two rak`at and so on, and if you want to finish it, pray only one rak`a which will be witr for all the previous rak`at." Al-Qasim said, "Since we attained the age of puberty we have seen some people offering a three-rak`at prayer as witr and all that is permissible. I hope there will be no harm in it."  "‏ صَلاَةُ اللَّيْلِ مَثْنَى مَثْنَى، فَإِذَا أَرَدْتَ أَنْ تَنْصَرِفَ فَارْكَعْ رَكْعَةً تُوتِرُ لَكَ مَا صَلَّيْتَ ‏"

WHo ARE Real FRIENDS?  Oxford Dictionary defines Friend as:  1 A person with whom one has a bond of mutual affection, typically one exclusive of sexual or family relations:  (used as a polite form of address or in ironic reference) an acquaintance or a stranger one comes across:  ‘my friends, let me introduce myself’ ( one's friends)  archaic  One's close relatives. A person who supports a cause, organization, or country by giving financial or other help; A person who is not an enemy or opponent; an ally.   A familiar or helpful thing.   A contact on a social networking website. It is very important for every Muslim and humanity at large to make sure that his choice of friends and the company he keeps is correct.

Without realizing, a person begins to adopt the style and behaviour of his frien...

Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him) reported: The Messenger of Allah PBUH said, "He who recites in the morning and in the evening the statement; 'Subhan-Allahi wa bihamdihi (Allah is free from imperfection and I begin with praising Him)' hundred times, will not be surpassed on the Day of Resurrection by anyone with better deeds than one who utters the same words or utters more words." [Muslim].
