A male jinn asked the Sahaabi, �Do you recite AAYATUL KURSI?� When the Sahaabi
replied in the affirmative, the jinn responded, �You will not recite Aayatul Kursi
in any home except that Shaitaan will leave that home while expelling wind (in
fright) as a donkey expels wind. Thereafter, Shaitaan will not be able to enter
that home until the morning.� (Sunan Daarimi #33381) Jamiat Newsletter - The Simple

sacrifice your dignity for your destiny.
You were once in the womb, unmentioned and unknown. And again you will be forgotten

Narrated Abu Qatada Al-Aslami: Allah's Messenger (?) said, "If anyone of you enters
a mosque, he should PRAY TWO RAK`AT BEFORE SITTING." Bukhari 444
If someone helps a man to disobey Allah, then he is sinning, because he is helping
in sin and transgression. Hence the Prophet (blessings and peace of Allah be upon
him) cursed alcohol, the one who presses (the grapes et cetera), the one for whom
they are pressed, the one who carries it, the one to whom it is carried, the one
who sells it, the one who buys it, the one who pours it, the one who drinks it, and
the one consumes its price. Most of those mentioned, such as the one who presses
it, the one who carries it and the one who pours it, are helping the drinker to
drink it. Hence it is forbidden to sell weapons to those who will use them to fight
in unlawful ways, such as fighting the Muslims or infighting among Muslims
(fitnah).
�The Prophet of Allah Sallallahu 'alayhi wa sallam (peace and blessings of Allah be
upon him) said, there is no sin which is more severe in the eyes of Allah
Sallallahu 'alayhi wa sallam (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) after
committing shirk than a person planting his semen into a womb, which is unlawful.�
(Kanzul Ummal)
However, if the wife leaves the house without her husband�s consent, he is then
entitled by the Shariah to withhold maintenance. He is then under no obligation to
maintain her. (Hidayah p.438 v.2)
Saaiduna Ibn Abbas ra?yAllahu 'anhu (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates that a
man came to the Prophet of Allah Sallallahu 'alayhi wa sallam (peace and blessings
of Allah be upon him) and said that HIS WIFE �DOES NOT MOVE ANYONE�S HAND FROM HER�
(indicating to that whenever someone wants to commit adultery with her she commits
it). The Prophet of Allah Sallallahu 'alayhi wa sallam (peace and blessings of
Allah be upon him) replied, �DIVORCE HER.� Then the man said, �I LOVE HER�, upon
which the Prophet of Allah Sallallahu 'alayhi wa sallam (peace and blessings of
Allah be upon him) said, �THEN KEEP HER�. (Mishkatul Masabeeh p.287 v.2)

scholars of hadith have said that it is preferable to divorce an adulterous woman.
However, if you love her and she has repented from her actions and is willing to
change then you an keep her. (Mazahirul Haq p.179 v.4)
When Allah sub?anahu wa ta'ala (glorified and exalted be He) inflicts any
hardships or calamity upon anyone, the purpose for this is to either test his true
servants as Allah sub?anahu wa ta'ala (glorified and exalted be He) in the Holy
Quran has said,�Be sure we shall test you with something of fear, and hunger and
some loss of wealth and lives and fruits and glad tidings to those that bear
patience�. (Suarh Baqarah v.156)
Or these tests can be a means of purification for the pious people. The Prophet of
Allah Sallallahu Alahi Wasalam has said when a persons sins increases and nothing
remains to remove it then Allah sub?anahu wa ta'ala (glorified and exalted be He)
inflicts this person with such sorrow, which expiates his sins. (Tafsir Ibn
Kathir)
The mother has a right of custody for a boy until the child is capable of taking
physical care of himself, for instance the child should be able to feed himself and
go to the toilet by himself etc�This is approximately at seven years old, and the
fatwa has been issued on this age. In case of a girl, the mother has custody for
her until she has reached the age of puberty, which has been declared at nine years
old. (Raddul-Muhtar p.252-265 v.5, Ahsanul Fatwa p458-459 v.5)
It should also be borne in mind that the boy remains in his father�s custody until
puberty, at which point he has a choice to whom he wants to live with or perhaps he
may wish to live by himself. The girl on the other hand will remain with the father
until she gets married. (Fatawa Hindiyyah p542 v.1)
However, the right of custody will be taken away from the mother if she leaves
Islam or indulges in sins such as adultery and there is a fear of the child being
affected. (Raddul Muhtar p.253 v.5)
Saaiduna Ibn Abbas ra?yAllahu 'anhu (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates that a
man came to the Prophet of Allah Sallallahu 'alayhi wa sallam (peace and blessings
of Allah be upon him) and said that his wife �does not move anyone�s hand from her�
(indicating to that whenever someone wants to commit adultery with her she commits
it). The Prophet of Allah Sallallahu 'alayhi wa sallam (peace and blessings of
Allah be upon him) replied, �Divorce her.� Then the man said, �I love her�, upon
which the Prophet of Allah Sallallahu 'alayhi wa sallam (peace and blessings of
Allah be upon him) said, �Then keep her�. (Mishkatul Masabeeh p.287 v.2)The
scholars of hadith have said that it is preferable to divorce an adulterous woman.
However, if you love her and she has repented from her actions and is willing to
change then you can keep her. (Mazahirul Haq p.179 v.4)
Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said: �Learn from me. Allaah
has given them a way out. If an unmarried person commits fornication with an
unmarried person, (the punishment is) one hundred lashes and exile for one year. If
a married person commits adultery with a married person, (the punishment is) one
hundred lashes and stoning.� (Narrated by Muslim, 1690).
It is not permissible to sit in a place in which sin is committed openly, unless
one is forced to do so, because denouncing evil with one�s hand (by taking action),
one's tongue (by speaking against it) or one's heart (by hating it) is something
that is obligatory, and sitting in a place where evils are being committed and not
denouncing them is contrary to that. Allaah says (interpretation of the meaning):
�And it has already been revealed to you in the Book (this Qur�aan) that when you
hear the Verses of Allaah being denied and mocked at, then sit not with them, until
they engage in a talk other than that; (but if you stayed with them) certainly in
that case you would be like them�[al-Nisa� 4:140
Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) has told you of the qualities
to be found in the man who is suitable for your sister, which may be summed up in
two characteristics: religious commitment and good character.
The one who does not pray is not a Muslim. The fact that he is a kaafir is
mentioned in the Qur�aan and Sunnah, and that was the consensus of the Sahaabah
(may Allaah be pleased with them). The one who prays but neglects prayer in
congregation is an evildoer (faasiq). The one who smokes is also an evildoer, as is
the one who drinks alcohol, which is the mother of all evils. Such a man should not
be married and he cannot be trusted to take care of his wife and protect her
honour, and he cannot be trusted to take care of his children.
�I keep away from women and I will never get married.� The Prophet (peace and
blessings of Allaah be upon him) said to this man and to his companions that he
(peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) fasted and broke his fast, he stayed up
praying and slept, and he married women. Then he said: �Whoever turns away from my
Sunnah is not of me.� Narrated by al-Bukhaari, 5063; Muslim, 1401
If the marriage fulfilled the necessary conditions, namely the proposal and
acceptance, the consent of the wife, and the presence of the wife�s guardian and
two witnesses, then it is a valid marriage, even if it was done verbally.
All of these men got married, including Mu�aadh ibn Jabal, the most knowledgeable
of this ummah about halaal and haraam.Whoever seeks knowledge will find out that
part of the knowledge that he seeks encourages and urges people to get married. The
one who combines pursuit of knowledge with marriage has combined two good things
and is following the example of the leaders of Islam, the Sahaabah and Taabi�een,
and those who followed them in truth.
�The adulterer marries not but an adulteress or a Mushrikah and the adulteress none
marries her except an adulterer or a Muskrik (and that means that the man who
agrees to marry (have a sexual relation with) a Mushrikah (female polytheist, pagan
or idolatress) or a prostitute, then surely he is either an adulterer, or a Mushrik
(polytheist, pagan or idolater, etc.) And the woman who agrees to marry (have a
sexual relation with) a Mushrik (polytheist, pagan or idolater) or an adulterer,
then she is either a prostitute or a Mushrikah (female polytheist, pagan, or
idolatress, etc.)). Such a thing is forbidden to the believers (of Islamic
Monotheism)�[an-Noor 24:3].
If a person turns a woman against her husband and spoils her for him so that she
leaves him, then he marries her, his marriage is not valid and they must be
separated, according to the view favoured by Shaykh al-Islam Ibn Taymiyyah (may
Allah have mercy on him). This is also the view of the Maalikis. For more
information on the ruling on this issue and what is meant by turning a woman
against her husband, please see the answer to question no. 84849Based on the above,
if this man is the one who turned the woman against her husband, so that she would
get divorced for his sake, it is not permissible for him to marry her, especially
when he has committed zina with her. There is a difference of opinion concerning
marriage of the zaani to the woman with whom he committed zina. In this case he has
combined two evils: turning a woman against her husband and zina.
Meeting one�s needs is not done by looking at that with which Allaah has blessed
other people, or in which He has favoured them over us, whether that is in terms of
a wife, children or wealth. �And wish not for the things in which Allaah has made
some of you to excel others. For men there is reward for what they have earned,
(and likewise) for women there is reward for what they have earned, and ask Allaah
of His Bounty. Surely, Allaah is Ever All-Knower of everything�[al-Nisa� 4:32]
The scholars said concerning someone who fell into zina then repented, that she
does not have to tell her husband and that it is permissible for her to lie in
order to conceal herself. Undoubtedly one who was raped and did not approach sin by
her own choice, or one to whom that happened before the age of accountability, is
more deserving of being covered.
It is not permissible for anyone to work as a pilot for an airline that serves
alcohol on its flights. Similarly, it is not permissible for anyone to travel on a
plane that serves alcohol, unless he has no choice because otherwise he will miss
out on something that is in his interests. End quote.
If it is known that this business will help these customers to engage in evil
things and promiscuity, and that they will be used to listen to songs and music,
then it is not permissible to sell these things to them. But if it is possible that
they may be used for permissible things and it is not known that the purchaser will
use them for haraam things, then there is nothing wrong with selling them or
dealing in them. If he sees someone who seems to be decent and respectable, he may
sell to him, and if a customer comes who appears to be promiscuous or an evildoer,
he should refuse to sell to him.
It is not permissible for you to buy anything for your father which it is haraam to
use, whether it is tobacco, opium, hashish, alcohol or whatever, even if he tells
you to do that. It was reported that the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be
upon him) said: �There is no obedience to any created being if it involves
disobedience of the Creator� and, �Obedience is only with regard to things which
are right and good (ma�roof).� You have to advise him and apologize to him politely
for not buying them for him.
For example, it is permissible to sell grapes to Muslims and others, but some
people may use them to make wine. The guideline is: if it is known that a person
will use for haraam purposes something that it is permitted to sell, then it is not
permissible to sell it to him, otherwise it is permissible.If you were dealing in
grapes, and a kaafir came to you wanting to buy some, and you did not know whether
he was going to use them for food or to make wine, then in principle it is
permissible to sell them to him. But if the representative of a wine producer came
wanting to buy grapes, and you knew that, then it is not permissible to sell them
to him. And Allaah is the source of strength.
Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) forbade selling from the same
place where goods are bought before the trader has actually acquired them (lit.
added them to his own luggage). He should first take possession of them, then he
can sell them. As for selling them when they are in another country, when he does
not know if they will arrive intact or not, this is not permitted.
It is not permissible to sell them because when Allaah forbids a thing He also
forbids its price. Ibn �Abbaas (may Allaah be pleased with them both) said: �The
Messenger of Allaah (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said: �Allaah has
cursed the Jews because fat was forbidden to them, but they sold it and took its
price. When Allaah forbids something he also forbids its price.�� (Reported by
Imaam Ahmad, 2546).
With regard to doubtful things, it is better not to sell them, so as to be free of
any blame, as the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said. Al-
Nu�maan ibn Basheer said: �I heard him saying, �I heard the Messenger of Allaah
(peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) say: �What is permitted is clear and
what is prohibited is clear, and between them are doubtful things which many people
do not know about. Whoever avoids doubtful things will be on the safe side with
regard to his religion and his honour, but whoever falls into doubtful things will
fall into haraam things.��� (Reported by Muslim, 2996). And Allaah is the Source of
Strength
Non-Muslim & A Muslim's DevilAbu Hurayrah (may Allah bless him and grant him peace)
narrates that, 'Once a Muslim's devil and a non Muslim's devil met together. The
non-Muslim's devil was very healthy, big and warmly wrapped up wearing nice clothes
and had oil on his head whilst the Muslim's devil was in a very bad state as he was
skinny and weak with no clothes.The non-Muslim's devil asked 'Brother! Why are you
in this state'' He replied: 'I am with such a person who, when he eats he remembers
Allah (The Exalted) by reciting 'Bismillah'' that is why I have to stay hungry and
do not get any share out of his food. When he drinks water, he recites 'Bismillah''
so I have to stay thirsty. When putting oil on his head he recites 'Bismillah'', my
hair is in this situation, and when wearing his clothes he recites 'Bismillah''
too.'The non Muslim's devil said: 'I am with such a person that whatever he does,
he never recites 'Bismillah'', this is why I am healthy and I get to eat with him,
drink with him and take part in all activities.'
'Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates that the Messenger of Allah (may
Allah bless him and grant him peace) said, 'Keep on combing the hair, as poverty
will be taken away. He who combs the hair in the morning will stay in peace till
the evening.'
Save from calamities | Ubay bin Ka'ab (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates
that, 'The Messenger of Allah (may Allah bless him and grant him peace) stated
that, 'Whosoever combs their hair and beard at night will be saved from all
calamities and will live longer.'' Subhanallah! |
Look after your hair | Abu Qatadah (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates that I
asked to the Messenger of Allah (may Allah bless him and grant him peace) that, 'I
have hair should I continue to comb it'' The Messenger of Allah (may Allah bless
him and grant him peace) said, 'Yes, and look after it.' | As the Messenger of
Allah (may Allah bless him and grant him peace) told him this, he would at times
oil his hair twice a day. Subhanallah! |
Shaykh 'Abd Al-Haq Muhaddith-e-Dehelwi (may Allah's mercy be upon him) writes that,
'To comb the beard after ablution will rid one of poverty.'
In another place the Messenger of Allah (may Allah bless him and grant him peace)
also said, 'He who combs the eyebrows will be saved from difficulties.'
'Abd Al-Rahman Safoori (may Allah be pleased with him) states that, 'Whosoever
combs the hair on Sunday, Allah (The Exalted) will grant many benefits, one who
combs the hair on Monday will have his requirements fulfilled. One who combs it on
Tuesday is granted easiness. On Wednesday he will be given gifts by Allah (The
Exalted), On Thursday he will be given blessings in his reward. On Friday he will
be granted happiness and Saturday Allah (The Exalted) keeps his heart clean from
evil.' Subhanallah!
The Messenger of Allah (may Allah bless him and grant him peace) would always start
from the right side, even whilst combing his blessed hair.
Manners of OIL | 1. When applying oil always pray 'Bismillah'' otherwise seventy
devils will assist in applying oil in your hair. | 2. Whenever he wanted to grease
his blessed hair, the Messenger of Allah (may Allah bless him and grant him peace)
would take some oil in the palm of his left hand. | 3. Apply a little on the right
eyebrow then the left. Then apply some to the eyelashes first the right then left.
Then pray 'Bismillah'' again and apply to the rest of the head from the front right
then front left working your way back. In the same manner when applying oil to the
beard, pray 'Bismillah'' again and then apply it. | 4. When the Messenger of Allah
(may Allah bless him and grant him peace) applied oil in his hair he started from
the front right side then front left and when applying oil to his beard he would
apply it from the hair closest to the neck and work his way up. | 5. The Prophet
(may Allah bless him and grant him peace) would keep seven items besides his bed,
bottle of oil; a comb; bottle of Surma; pair of scissors; miswak; mirror; and a
stick for itching. | O Allah (The Exalted)! Give us all the ability to look after
our hair and to oil and comb it following the Sunnah of Your beloved Messenger (may
Allah bless him and grant him peace), Ameen. |
'Without doubt, there are some angels who say, 'Pure is He who gave men beauty with
beards and hair for women.''
Deforming the creation of Allah | The Messenger of Allah (may Allah bless him and
grant him peace) said that, 'Allah (The Exalted) has said, 'The devil said that he
would teach them (men) other things whereby they would deform the figure made by
Allah (The Exalted) (e.g. by shaving the beard, getting the body tattooed or
pierced etc.).' |
Cause of destruction today! | The Messenger of Allah (may Allah bless him and grant
him peace) said that, 'There were ten such habits amongst the people of Prophet Lut
(upon whom be peace) which were the cause of their destruction. Amongst these
habits he listed the shaving of the beard and the lengthening of the moustache.' |

It is reported in a hadith: 'The one who sports a long moustache will be deprived
of my intercession and Haudhe Kauthar . Munkar and Nakeer will be assigned to him
with extreme wrath and indignation.'
Anas (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates from the Messenger of Allah (may
Allah bless him and grant him peace) that, 'One should not delay more than forty
days trimming the moustache and trimming the nails.'
Ibn 'Abbas (may Allah be pleased with him) related that the Messenger of Allah (may
Allah bless him and grant him peace) would trim the moustache and Prophet Ibraheem
(upon whom be peace) did the same. | We should not grow our moustache, BUT TRIM
THEM AND SHOULD ABSTAIN FROM SHAVING IT as Imam Malik (may Allah's mercy be upon
him) would detest those who shaved their moustaches. |
Not from us | The Messenger of Allah (may Allah bless him and grant him peace) said
that, 'WHOEVER DOES NOT PRACTISE MY SUNNAH IS NOT FROM ME.' |
Scrapping The Feeling | Once a person from Iran read the poetry of Mirza Kateel and
thought he must be pious and decided to meet him. So he left Iran to visit this
person. Coincidentally Mirza was at the barber's and the barber was shaving his
beard. Looking at this he was feeling uncomfortable and said in anger, 'Shame, you
are taking of your beard!' Mirza replied, 'Yes I am getting my beard shaven, I am
not scraping anyone's feeling!' this person replied, 'Yes, you are scraping the
feeling of the Prophet (may Allah bless him and grant him) peace.' Mirza fainted
after hearing this and when he became conscious he said, 'Jazakallah for bringing
me on the right way, you have opened my eyes.' |
Shaytan's trap | In the hadith it states that, 'When a man reaches forty and his
bad deeds surpass his good, meaning the habit of bad deeds does not leave him, the
devil strokes his face and says, 'May I be sacrificed on this face as he will not
come on the straight path.' |
The beard | Shaykh Ahmad Raza Khan (may Allah's mercy be upon him) has written a
book called 'Lam'atud Duha Fi I'fail Luha' on the importance of the beard. He has
proved from this book that to keep a beard is necessary. He has quoted eighteen
verses from the Qur'an, seventy two hadith and sixty sayings of the pious
predecessors. However, in his other works he has mentioned regarding the size of
the beard. Of which the conclusion is as follows; the hair that grows from near the
ear, the jaw and the chin is included in the beard (to keep a goatee is not
expectable). The width is from between the ear and the cheek. Any hair on the cheek
area i.e. under the eyes is not counted as a part of the beard and can be removed
if it disfigures the face. If the hair around the cheek areas does not grow too
long then there is not a need to remove this hair. These are separate by nature and
not part of the beard. |
Practise of the Companions | It was the practise of Abu Hurayrah (may Allah be
pleased with him) that he would hold his beard in his fist and whatever was left he
would trim it. | Marwan bin Saalim (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates that I
saw ibn 'Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) taking his beard in his fist and what
exceeded the fist he would trim. | It was the practise of 'Abd-Allah Ibn 'Umar
(may Allah be pleased with him) that he would hold his beard in his fist and
whatever was left he would trim it |
Rules and regulations of the beard | 'Abd-Allah Ibn 'Umar (may Allah be pleased
with him) would cut that portion (which exceeds the grip of the hand) of beard.
Imam Muhammad (may Allah's mercy be upon him) states that, 'Our practise is on this
hadith and Imam Azam (may Allah's mercy be upon him) has said this too.' | The
Hanifies say, 'To shorten the beard less than a fists length is haraam, strictly
forbidden and on this is a consensus of opinion.' Also the 'Beard length is one
fist.' | Ibn Jazm Zahari (may Allah be pleased with him) writes, 'To clip the
moustache and to let the beard flow (grow) is Fardh (obligatory).' | Shaykh 'Abd
al-Haqq Muhaddith Dehelwi (may Allah's Mercy be upon him) says that; 'It is
necessary (wajib) to wear a beard to a fist's length, it is Sunnah that is the
practice of all Prophets and is proven from the Messenger of Allah's (The Exalted)
practice.' |
Forbidden to trim under a fist | Ibn 'Abideen Hanafi (may Allah be pleased with
him) said that, 'It is forbidden for a man to cut (i.e. trim) his beard.' (Less
then a fist) | 'No one has called it permissible to trim it (the beard) less than
fist-length as is being done by some westernised Muslims and hermaphrodites.' |
'It is forbidden (haraam) for a man to cut off another's beard.' Those who are
barbers', need to take this seriously, as those who cut the beards of others' are
part in committing this major sin and that earning is also unlawful. | In Hidaya
'Kitabur Riyaat' it state that, 'If someone shaves of someone else's beard it falls
in the same category as cutting of someone's ears or nose and the compensation for
this is the same as cutting someone's ears or nose. Such people are completely
empty from the Mercy of Allah (The Exalted).' | Hence, a barber (who would shave
beards) was encouraged to recite the Shahadah at the time of death, Allah forbid
swore at the Shahadah and died. When the grave was dug for him it was filled with
scorpions, another grave was dug and that was also filled with scorpions, he was
buried in a grave full of scorpions. Allahu Akbar! |
Hair below the lip | Shaykh Ahmad Raza Khan (may Allah's mercy be upon him) further
writes of which the conclusion is; the hair underneath the lower lip is also part
of the beard. The hair below the bottom lip is included in the beard, it is not
permissible to shave or trim it. Shah 'Abdul Aziz Muhaddis Dehelwi (may Allah's
mercy be upon him) states in Sirate Mustaqeem and Shaykh 'Abdul Haq in 'Madarijun
Nabuwa' that ' 'Umar, may Allah be pleased with him, decreed that all persons who
remove the hair below the bottom lip as 'Mardoodush Shahaadah,' meaning those whose
testimony is rejected.' It is not permissible to shave even the sides of the mouth.
The scholars have explained that to shave these hairs is a bidat. Someone gave
evidence to 'Umar ibn 'Abd al-Aziz (may Allah be pleased with him) who would remove
the hair from the sides, and he rejected his evidence. However, it is permissible
to cut the hair from these hairs if it is a problem whilst eating, drinking or
gargling. |
Imaam Saamiri Hanbali (may Allah's mercy be upon him) ' who is an expert Hanbali
Faqeeh (jurists) - states: 'And he should not trim any bit from the beard except if
he wishes to do so upto the extent of one fist. However, it will be best if he
doesn't do so.'
HOW TO MEASURE | Take the beard in your fist that is below the chin and take it
towards the throat. Grip all the hair into your fist and in your hand you should
only have a fist full of hair. Make sure no part of your hand is touching the chin.
The hair that is below the fist can be trimmed. |
3. To trim the moustache. (The hair of the moustache should not be allowed to reach
the lip.) Imam Malik and Imam Shafi'i detested those who shaved their moustache.
Manner of the Beard | 1. The Messenger of Allah (may Allah bless him and grant him
peace) blessed beard was so thick and long that it filled his blessed chest. | 2.
To trim off the beard in excess of one fist length so that it becomes neat and
tidy. | 3. To trim the moustache. (The hair of the moustache should not be allowed
to reach the lip.) Imam Malik and Imam Shafi'i detested those who shaved their
moustache. | 4. The moustache be trimmed in such a manner that it looks similar to
the eyebrows. | 5. To dye the hair with 'henna' leaves (red colour) or to simply
leave it white. | 6. To keep the moustache hair long from the sides is no problem.
Some pious people would keep their moustache in this manner. | 7. The hair and
nails should be buried and to flush them is disliked (Makrooh) as there is a chance
of illness spreading. | 8. To use black dye is forbidden and to use henna is
permissible. | 9. Four things should be buried, blood, hair, nails and the cloth
that has been used for the menstrual period (Haiz). | May Allah (The Exalted) give
us to true love of the Prophet (may Allah bless him and grant him peace) and to
keep a beard a fist in length, Ameen. |
If sperm was ejaculated from it's place but not due to lust, i.e. it was done by
lifting a heavy load or falling from a height, then to bathe is not obligatory,
however, the ablution is broken.
Angels Do Not Enter The House | 'Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) narrated the
Messenger of Allah (may Allah bless him and grant him peace) said that, �ANGELS DO
NOT ENTER A HOUSE WHICH HAS PICTURES (OF LIVING BEINGS), DOGS OR THE IMPURE
(JUNUB).� | We should keep our homes free from pictures as the Messenger of Allah
(may Allah bless him and grant him peace) disliked them. |
Fardh (Compulsory) Aspects In Ghusl | 2. To rinse the nostril up to the soft bone
making sure every hair is wet. |
Urinating In The Bath | 'Abd Allah ibn Al-Mughaffal Al-Muzani (may Allah be pleased
with him) also said that, 'The Messenger of Allah (may Allah bless him and grant
him peace), also FORBADE URINATING AT THE PLACE WHERE ONE TAKES A BATH .' |
FROM A COPPER VESSEL | 'Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) related that the big
COPPER VESSEL used to be prepared for her and the Messenger of Allah (may Allah
bless him and grant him peace), and they would take water from it together (for
bathing). |
Anas bin Malik (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates that, 'The Messenger of
Allah (may Allah bless him and grant him peace) would bathe with one Sa'a to five
Madd of water and with one Madd he would perform ablution.'
Sa'a and Madd are measurements. One Sa'a is equivalent to 2.03 litres and five Madd
is equivalent to 2.55 litres. The least amount of water used by the Prophet (may
Allah bless him and grant him peace) mentioned in the hadith is 1/3 of a Madd,
which is equivalent to 0.17 litres and the most
Using a Towel | In a hadith, the mother of the believers Maymuna (may Allah be
pleased with her) explaining the method of bathing she states that I presented a
towel to the Messenger of Allah (may Allah bless him and grant him peace) and he
did not take it but rinsed the water from his body. The narrator says that I
mentioned this to Ibrahim who said the companions did not mind using a towel;
however, they did not like to make a habit of it. |
Imam Shafi states that four things make the body strong; eating meat, using scent,
taking a bath, and putting on linen clothes.
S.1 One should hasten(Act or move at high speed) in the making of ghusl if one
awakens after early dawn. (Trimzi) :So that fajar namaaz is read with jamaat . |
S.2 It is major wrong to delay a compulsory bath until after sunrise as the angel
of mercy do not enter homes where a person delays his fardh ghusl. (Mishkaat) |
2) It is not necessary to repeat the entire ghusl if, after ghusl, one notices or
recalls that a certain part of the body is left dry. Merely washing the dry portion
shall suffice. Passing of the wet hand is not sufficient as it must be washed.
2) If the hair of a woman is plaited, she is excused from loosening her plaited
hair but it is compulsory for her to wet the root of each and every hair . If she
fails to do this then the ghusal will not be valid. If a women is unable to wet the
very bottom of her plaited hair, then it is necessary for her to unplait and wash
her entire hair.
3) Men who grow their hair long are not excused from leaving their plaits dry.
5) It is not necessary to make fresh wudhu to read Salaat. The bath will suffice as
the essentials of wudhu are covered in ghusal.
Importance of Miswak | Allama Sha�rani (may Allah have Mercy upon him) states that,
| �Once Abu Bakr Shibli (d.334 A.H.) (may Allah have Mercy upon him) was in need of
a Miswak at the time of wudhu, he looked for one but could not find one. He SPENT A
DINAR AND BOUGHT ONE AND USED IT, people said, �YOU HAVE OVER SPENT, CAN YOU BUY A
MISWAK THIS EXPENSIVE?� Abu Bakr Shibli (may Allah have Mercy upon him) replied,
�This world and all its contents in front of Allah (The Exalted) is not even
compared to a mosquito, what answer will I give on the Day of Judgement when Allah
(The Exalted) asks me, �WHY DID YOU LEAVE THE SUNNAH OF MY BELOVED? THE WEALTH THAT
I GAVE YOU WHICH (IN FRONT OF ME) IS NOT EQUIVALENT TO A MOSQUITO, YOU DID NOT
SPEND IT FOR THIS SUNNAH?��
On Awakening | �Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) narrates that the Messenger
of Allah (may Allah bless him and grant him peace) said, | �Never woke from
sleeping at any time of the day or night without cleaning his teeth with a Miswak
before performing ablution.�
�Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) said that, | �He passed away in my house, on
my day, between my chest and throat. And at death Allah (The Exalted) joined my
saliva to his. For when my brother �Abd al-Rahman entered carrying a Miswak in his
hand, he (the Prophet) began to look at it, and I knew that it pleased him, so I
said; �Shall I bring it to you?� Yes, he nodded, so I handed it to him. He put it
into his mouth, but it was too hard for him. �Shall I soften it for you?� I asked.
Yes, he nodded, so I made it soft. And by him there lay a leather vessel containing
water into which he started dipping his hand, saying, �No deity is there except
Allah! (The Exalted) truly death has agonies!� then he lifted up his hand and said,
�The Highest Companion! The Highest Companion!� and I said, �So by Allah! (The
Exalted) he will not prefer us.�� �Inna Lil-La-hi Wa-inna Ilay-hi Ra-Jioon.�
Cure For Illness | �Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) states that, | �There is
a cure for every illness in Miswak besides death.�
How to hold the Miswak | According to �Abd Allah ibn Mas�ud (may Allah be pleased
with him) hold the Miswak in the right hand so that the small finger is below the
Miswak and the thumb is below the tip and the other fingers are on top of the
Miswak. Do not hold it in the fist as there is a chance of illness.
3. Rub the Miswak on the gums at least three times and dip it in water each time.
2. It be from trees such as Zaytoon, Peelu or Neem and not from a fragrant tree.
1. The Miswak should not be too hard nor too soft.
4. If the finger is to be used instead of the Miswak, then the upper and lower jaws
on the right side are cleaned with the thumb and the left side is cleaned similarly
with the index finger. |
5. Put the Miswak upright when not in use.
7. The Miswak should be no thicker than the little finger and longer than the hand
span as the devil sits on the end if longer. It is not a problem if less than a
hand span but not too short that it is difficult to use.
11. Do not perform the Miswak in a up/down motion but use it from right to left as
there is a chance of damaging the gums. |
13. Do not use it whilst lying down as there is a chance of bad temper.
16. Do not throw away the Miswak or the bristles away but bury them.
21. Cut the bristles (tip) of the Miswak every 1-2 days and start fresh by biting
to make it soft.
24. According to a hadith, the use of Miswak will gain a person the reward
equivalent to the number of new Muslims that revert until the day of judgement.
25. To use the Miswak after eating, one will gain the reward of freeing two slaves.

keeps the lower garment long Allah (The Exalted) will not look at him on the day of
judgement.'

Messenger of Allah (may Allah be pleased with him) would tie it like this.' |
Silk is totally unlawful for males and only one silver ring, which is less than
four and a half grams, is permissible. No silver chain etc. is allowed, EVEN IF AN

and likes beauty. Arrogance is to deny rights and look down upon people.'
Wearing to show off! | 'Abd-Allah Ibn 'Umar (may Allah be pleased with him)

EARTH and he will continue to be swollen up until the day of judgement.'
The Messenger of Allah (may Allah bless him and grant him peace) has said that,
'Whosoever whilst having the ability of wearing good clothing, but leaves it due to
humbleness, Allah (The Exalted) will adorn him with the clothing of miracle (i.e.
clothing of paradise).'
Clothing from paradise | The Messenger of Allah (may Allah bless him and grant him
peace) has said that, 'Whosoever whilst having the ability of WEARING GOOD
CLOTHING, BUT LEAVES IT DUE TO HUMBLENESS, Allah (The Exalted) will adorn him with
the clothing of miracle (i.e. clothing of paradise).' |

MORE THAN THE KURTA (upper garment).' |
Sleeves | Asma bint Yazeed bint Sukkan Ansari (may Allah be pleased with her)
states that, 'The Messenger of Allah's (may Allah bless him and grant him peace)
SLEEVES REACHED HIS WRISTS.' |
Lower Garment | Safwan narrates that, 'Before the migration (to Makkah) I sold a

ANY NEW CLOTHES ON A FRIDAY and would thank Allah (The Exalted) when wearing them,
he liked wearing white clothes as it signifies purity and from amongst coloured
clothing he would LIKE GREEN THE MOST. He would take particular care in covering
himself with a wrap so that his body should not be visible.
Tabaruk (Relics) | To keep the clothing of the friends of Allah (may Allah be
pleased with them all) is encouraged and is a good practice. If you wash them and
rinse the water and give it to an ill person they will benefit from it. Asma (may
Allah be pleased with her) the daughter of 'Abu Bakr (may Allah be pleased with
him) took out a garment and said this is the garment of the Prophet (may Allah

his head and body.'
Keeping The House Clean | The Messenger of Allah (may Allah bless him and grant him
peace) is reported to have exhorted the Muslims to keep the courtyards of their
houses clean, for those who ordinarily keep the courtyard of their houses unclean
resemble the Jews
Abu Hurayrah (may Allah be pleased with him) has reported that 'Allah (The Exalted)
has laid the foundation of Islam on cleanliness and neatness; and only he will
enter Paradise who keeps himself clean and has the habit of remaining clean and
neat.'
Messenger of Allah (may Allah bless him and grant him peace) said that, 'He who
does not remove bodily hair from below the navel, and does not trim the nails, and
does not trim his moustache, is not one of us.' i.e. it is against our practice.
'The Messenger of Allah (may Allah bless him and grant him peace) before going to

Every fifteenth day | The Messenger of Allah (may Allah bless him and grant him
peace) would get his nails pared every fifteen days.
Do not exceed forty days | Anas (may Allah be pleased with him) relates that the
Messenger of Allah (may Allah bless him and grant him peace) said that, 'Do not let

When to cut nails | The Messenger of Allah (may Allah bless him and grant him
peace) has said that, 'He who cuts his nails on Friday, will be in Allah's (The
Exalted) protection for the following week. He who cuts his nails on a Saturday
will be spared from illness, and he who cuts his nails on Sunday will have poverty
taken away from him. If someone is mentally unstable then by cutting his nails on
Monday, this illness will be cured. He who cuts his nails on a Tuesday will also be
protected from illness. It is better not to cut nails on Wednesday as there are
hadith for and against, as Imam Tahawi said, paring nails on Wednesdays can cause
leprosy. To cut nails on Thursday will cure illness such as leprosy. '
Once a scholar trimmed his nails on a Wednesday as this hadith was weak (Dhaif) and
not authentic (Sahih). As he did not practise even a weak hadith as a consequence
he became leprosy. That night when he went to sleep he saw the Messenger of Allah
(may Allah bless him and grant him peace) in his dream who said that, 'Did you not
hear that I warned you against trimming your nails on Wednesday'' The scholar said,
'The hadith is weak.' The Messenger of Allah (may Allah bless him and grant him
peace) said, 'Was it not sufficient that a hadith had reached you from me.' The
Messenger of Allah (may Allah bless him and grant him peace) then wiped his blessed
hands over the scholar curing him from his illness. The scholar repented and said
that, 'I will never go against a hadith.' Subhanallah!

cloth to lie on, a mirror and a wooden stick.
Safety Check | Abu Musa (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates that a house in
Madinah with the inhabitants inside set on fire. The Messenger of Allah (may Allah
bless him and grant him peace) was informed about this and he said, 'THE FIRE IS
YOUR ENEMY, THIS IS WHY WHEN YOU PREPARE FOR SLEEPING PUT IT OUT.'
Messenger of Allah (may Allah bless him and grant him peace) said that, 'Recite
Bismillah whilst closing the doors and cover any utensils i.e. water, food, etc.
and switch off the light i.e. not leave it burning or the utensils open so the
Shaytan can not come in or use the utensils.' The reason is that something may fall
inside the foodstuff & if candles are left lit it may catch fire.
Wudhu Before Sleeping | The Messenger of Allah (may Allah bless him and grant him
peace) said that, 'When a person sleeps with wudhu, Allah (The Exalted) gives
permission to his soul to circumambulate the 'Arsh and bow to Allah (The Exalted).
Whilst sleeping in the state of wudhu, the reward of worship is being written for
you in your book of deeds all night. Subhanallah!
Messenger of Allah (may Allah bless him and grant him peace) said, 'When one of you
GOES TO BED then with the edge of your lower garment (or the edge of the duvet)
CLEAN TO BED, WHAT WERE YOU TO KNOW WHAT IS IN THE BED.'
Angel & The Devil | The Messenger of Allah (may Allah bless him and grant him
peace) said that, 'When a person enters his bed (to sleep), an angel and a devil
surround him. The devil whispers 'Your awakening will end in evil' and the angel
says 'ends in good.' But if one sleeps after engaging in remembrance of Allah (The
Exalted) the angels will protect him throughout the night.'
Going on One's Stomach | The Messenger of Allah (may Allah bless him and grant him
peace) never laid on his stomach and if he saw anyone doing so he would wake them
up by his feet and be very upset. | Ya'eesh bin Tighfat Gafari (may Allah be
pleased with him) narrates from his father that he states, 'I was reclining in the
mosque on my stomach (due to chest pains), suddenly a person nudged me with his
feet and said, 'To lie down like this is disliked by Allah (The Exalted).' When I
turned to see who it was, I saw the Messenger of Allah (may Allah bless him and
grant him peace).'
Imam Shafa'i (may Allah have mercy upon him) states that there are FOUR TYPES OF
SLEEP; | 1. One is to lie on the back this is the sleep of the Prophets, | 2. One
is to sleep on the right side which is the sleep of the worshippers, | 3. One is to
sleep on the left which is the sleep of the rulers | 4. And one is to SLEEP ON THE
STOMACH THAT IS THE SLEEP OF THE DEVIL.
Messenger of Allah (may Allah bless him and grant him peace) asked: 'What did you
spread for me last night'' I replied: 'It was the same bed; I only folded it into
four so that it may become softer'. The Messenger of Allah (may Allah bless him and
grant him peace) said: 'Leave it in its original form. Its softness deprived me of
my prayers (Tahajjud) at night.'
The Prophet (may Allah bless him and grant him peace) replied, 'What have I to gain
in this world, this world is like as if a traveller is travelling in the sun and he
sits under a tree and gets up and goes.'''
The Pillow | Abu Qataadah (may Allah be pleased with him) relates that, 'If the
Messenger of Allah (may Allah bless him and grant him peace) made an early journey-
break in the last portion of the night on his travels, he slept on his right side.
If he was staying there till before the morning, HE LIFTED HIS RIGHT ARM, PUT HIS
HEAD ON IT AND SLEPT.' | Meaning that he rested his blessed head on the inner part
of his arm and the hand would be near his back.
Supplication Position | 'Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) states that, 'When
the Messenger of Allah (may Allah bless him and grant him peace) would LIE DOWN
EVERY NIGHT ON HIS BED, he would RAISE HIS HANDS IN THE SUPPLICATION POSITION AND
PRAY. He would recite Surah Ikhlas (Qulhuwallahu Ahad) three times, Surah Falaq
(Qul A'oodhubi Rabbil Falaq) once and Surah Naas (Qul A'oodhubi Rabbinnaas) once
and blow on his palms and wiping his hands over his blessed body where they could
reach, this was done thrice.'
How The Prophet (may Allah bless him and grant him peace) SLEPT | The Messenger of
Allah (may Allah bless him and grant him peace) would put his blessed right hand
under his blessed right cheek. He would lie on his blessed RIGHT SIDE FACING THE
QIBLA and rest on a pillow that was made from leaves of a date tree.
Supplication Before Sleeping | Hudhayfa (may Allah be pleased with him) states
that, before the Prophet (may Allah bless him and grant him peace) went to sleep he
WOULD PLACE HIS RIGHT HAND UNDER HIS CHEEK AND PRAY THIS SUPPLICATION: 'Alla-humma
Bis-mika Amu-tu Wa-Ahya'
The Messenger of Allah (may Allah bless him and grant him peace) did not sleep
until he recited Surah Sajdah and Surah Mulk.
Sleeping After 'Asr | Abu Ya'la narrates from 'Aisha (may Allah be pleased with
her) that the Prophet (may Allah bless him and grant him peace) said, 'WHOSOEVER
SLEEPS AFTER 'ASR SALAAH AND LOSES THEIR INTELLECT, HAS ONLY THEMSELVES TO BLAME.'
To keep a SPARE BED is permissible for a guest; however, TO HAVE MORE THEN
NECESSARY LEADS TO PRIDE AND ARROGANCE due to excess wealth as this is from
Shaytan. It is Shaytan who places evil whispers in us, hence we should abstain from
having anything in access.
Sleepless Night | Once the Prophet (may Allah bless him and grant him peace) spent
a sleepless night. He would turn from side to side and could not sleep. His wife
asked him: 'O Prophet of Allah! (may Allah bless him and grant him peace) Why can
you not sleep'' He responded, 'A DATE WAS LYING ABOUT. I TOOK IT UP AND ATE IT,
LEST IT SHOULD BE WASTED. NOW I AM TROUBLED THAT IT MAY BE FROM SADAQAH (CHARITY).'
25. Do not sleep after 'Asr as there is a chance of loosing the intellect and it is
disliked (Makrooh) to SLEEP IN THE BEGINNING PART OF THE MORNING AND BETWEEN
MAGHRIB AND ISHA.
18. Do not have your feet facing the Qur'an or other religious books and IF THE
BOOKS ARE HIGHER THAN THE FEET THERE IS NO PROBLEM.
23. When going to SLEEP, REMEMBER YOUR GRAVE as you will be sleeping on your own
with your deeds and no one will be there with you.
Repenting isn't just saying "Ya Allah forgive me". It's also about making changes
in life and taking responsibility for your mistakes.
Focus more on your character than your reputation.Your reputation is who people
think you are, while your character is who you actually are.
What ever life throws at you, whatever happens, never be disappointed. ALLAH IS
WITH THE PATIENT. Never be sad as ALLAH is with us. Alhamdulillah
Waiting patiently for relief from hardship is worship, for verily the tests do not
last forever
Hasan al Basri Rahmatullahi alayhi says: �The world is three days: As for

never see it. As for today, it is yours, so fear ALLAH and obey Him in it�

avoid committing sins.
Sometimes things happen in your life that you have no control over. You do not
understand what to do, but this is a reminder for us that no matter how much we
plan, Allah is the Best Planner!
Anas bin Malik narrates that the Holy Prophet (Sallallahu Alayhi Wa Sallam) has
said: �Treat people with ease and do not be hard on them; give them glad tidings
and do not make them run away (from Islam).� [Bukhari and Muslim] |
If you want to succeed, make sure your mother is happy with you if she's alive
because with her duas you can go far. |
The Prophet (?) used to stand (in the prayer) or pray till both his feet or legs
swelled. He was asked why (he offered such an unbearable prayer) and he said,
"should I not be a thankful slave." [Bukhari]
Don�t worry about the future, ALLAH has already planned for it. |
The Prophet of Allah? said; �Beware of the Dua of the oppressed, because there is
no barrier between it and Allah. Allah, The Just, will definitely respond.
Sayyiduna Rasulullah ? told Anas RA - �O my Son! If you can, then remain in the
state of wudhu perpetually, for if the angel of death takes the soul of someone and
if he is in the state of wudu, he acquires shahadah (the rank of the martyrs).�
(Shu�abul Iman, Hadith: 2529)
People who don't pull you to the deen are the kind of people you shouldn't have in
your life because they'll only push you out of it.
We do not own anything, we are owned by Allah.
Sit down, tongue out, smile, bend your neck, blink your eye, shift your nose,
photographer giving you command and you obey because you want your picture to be
beautiful, Allah gives you command yet you disobey? Don�t you want your life to be
beautiful? Repent!
85151: Should he take a riba-based loan to get medical treatment for his son? NEED
DOES NOT MAKE RIBA-BASED TRANSACTIONS PERMISSIBLE, and such cases are not described
as necessity, because TREATING THE SICK IS MUSTAHABB AND NOT OBLIGATORY.
it is permissible for him to give the BRIBE in that case, and the prohibition
applies to the one who takes it and not the one who gives it.
What is meant for you will be yours. It's only a matter of time. |

remedy then it is Hijamah� | (Sahih Sunan abi dawud 3857 , saheeh Sunan ibn Maajha

cauterizing with fire, but forbid my nation from cauterization(branding with
fire).� [Saheeh Sunan ibn Maajah (3491)].
Jaabir ibn Abbas narrated that Hazrat Muhammad ? said: | �Indeed there is cure
in cupping�[Sahih Muslim 5706]
HIJAMA Precautions: | It is recommended not to eat or drink in between the
treatment, once it is completed a person can come back to normal routine.
�Whoever wants to perform cupping, let him search for the 17th, 19th and 21st date
(of the Islamic, lunar month) and let none of you allow his blood to rage (boil)
such that it kills him.� [Saheeh Sunan ibn Maajah (3486)].
�When the weather becomes extremely hot, seek aid in cupping (hijama). Do not allow
your blood to rage (boil) such that it kills you.� [Reported by Hakim in his
�Mustadrak� and he authenticated it and Imam ad-Dhahabi agreed (4/212)].
The Prophet (PBUH) says: The believer who mixes with people and bears their
annoyance with patience will have a greater reward than the one who does not mix
with people and does not put up with their annoyance. - Tirmidhi (5207) |
WHEN ONE APPROACH DOESN'T WORK, SHE'S READY TO TRY ANOTHER. | | 1. She pinned all
of her first meetings with investors to a roughly three-week period. | | Before
that, Minshew said, SHE'D TAKE WHATEVER APPOINTMENT THE INVESTORS HAD AVAILABLE |
| Now, she'd ask them to meet in a specific time frame and if they said they
weren't available, she'd respond with something like: "I Need To Get All Of Our
First Meetings Done By X Date. I Can Push It A Few Days. Let Me Know If You're
Going To Be Able To Make It Work, And If Not, Totally Fine. Maybe There Will Be
Another Round That You Can Participate In." | Inevitably, Minshew said, Many
Investors Would Say They'd Move Around Their Schedule To Fit In The Meeting. "And
The Ones That Weren't Able To Or The Ones That Said, 'No, Sorry, I Can't Do It,'
They Probably Would Have Never Backed The Company To Begin With," she added. | |
She solicited candid feedback from her end users. | | This second strategy allowed
her to stay confident that her idea was viable. | | "If you tell someone you're
the founder of a company and ask for their input, they're more likely to give you
positive input because they don't want to hurt your feelings," Minshew said. | |
"If you tell them that you're a consultant, helping a company understand how its
market positioning lands or helping a company better understand what it's doing
well and what it's not, people are much more likely to give you totally unfiltered
feedback." | | Based on the feedback she was getting from her target audience,
Minshew said, she understood that she had "tapped a nerve." Even though there were
areas where they could improve, there was a need for The Muse.
How Much Shaytan Tries to Cause Marital Strife | | Abu ?Umamah � Allah be pleased
with him � said: | | Verily Shay?an comes to your bed after your wife has made it
and prepared it and throws a stick, a stone, or something [similar] on it to make
the husband angry with his wife. So if someone finds this, let him not be angry
with his wife, for it is the work of Shay?an. | | Al-Bukhari, Al-Adab Al-Mufrad

regards it as being authentic from the Prophet ? . See ?a?i? Al-Adab Al-Mufrad

Abu Huraira reported Allah's Messenger (?) as saying: | | A strong believer is
better and is more lovable to Allah than a weak believer, and there is good in
everyone, (but) cherish that which gives you benefit (in the Hereafter) and seek
help from Allah and do not lose heart, and if anything (in the form of trouble)
comes to you, don't say: If I had not done that, it would not have happened so and
so, but say: Allah did that what He had ordained to do and your" if" opens the
(gate) for the Satan. | | Reference : Sahih Muslim 2664 | In-book reference : Book
46, Hadith 52 | USC-MSA web (English) reference : Book 33, Hadith 6441
This world is temporary joys, and the best temporary joy of this world is a
righteous wife.� Narrated by Muslim, 1467; Ibn Maajah, 1855, with the wording,
�Indeed, this world is no more than temporary joys, and there is no temporary joy
of this world that is better than a righteous wife.�
�Women may be married for four things: their wealth, their lineage, their beauty
and their religious commitment. Choose the one who is religiously-committed, may
your hands be rubbed with dust (i.e., may you prosper).�
| | The company you keep, defines you and your level of iman, choose your friends
wisely. | | "Close friends, that Day, will be enemies to each other, except for
the muttaqun." | | [Surah Az-Zukhruf aya 67] |
Do not be of those who lose hope when results are not as per plans. There is
Someone who has a better plan for you. Trust Allah's plan for you! #Allah #Hope
#Trust
| | Be a first rate version of yourself, not a second-rate version of someone
else. |
| | Studies have found that smiling is 69% more attractive than wearing makeup. |

| | Simply looking at a photo of someone you love can help relieve pain. |
| | Research suggests that when someone disagrees with you, you should speak
faster so they have less time to process what you�re saying. |
If someone has stung you once, don�t give them the opportunity to do it again.
Life�s too short for that.

[Sterling advices of Sayyiduna Umar (Radhiyallahu
Anhu)]--------------------------------------------- START
The famous Taabi�ee, Saeed ibn Musayyab (Rahimahullah) reports that Sayyiduna Umar
(Radhiyallahu Anhu) laid down guidelines for the people, each one filled with
wisdom:
1. Always assume the best about your brother unless you learn something about him
that you cannot reconcile.
2. Never assume the worst about any statement that a Muslim makes as long as you
are able to make a good interpretation.
3. One who exposes himself to suspicion must never blame anyone who holds a bad
opinion of him.
4. Whoever guards his secrets will retain the choice [and control of it] in his
hands.
5. Ensure that you keep true friends to stay under their wings because they are a
source of beauty during times of prosperity and a means of protection during times
of hardship.
6. Ensure that you speak the truth even if it leads to your death.
7. Never delve into matters that do not concern you.
8. Do not ask about matters that have not occurred because that which has already
taken place is enough to keep you occupied from that which has not.
9. Never seek your needs from one who does not love to see your success.
10. Never keep the company of a sinner, as you will learn his sinful ways.
11. Keep away from your enemy.
12 & 13. Beware even of your friends, except for the trustworthy one and none can
be trustworthy unless he fears Allah.
14. Be humble in speech.
15. Lower yourself in obedience of Allah.
16. Stand firm against His disobedience.
17. Consult in your matters those who fear Allah, indeed Allah says: "It is only
those who have knowledge among His slaves that fear Allah." (Surah Faatir, Verse:
28)

Al-Mubaarakfoori (may Allaah have mercy on him) said: �and taught her� means he
taught her good manners. �and taught her well� means teaching in a kind manner.
Tuhfat al-Ahwadhi (4/218).
This is what the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) enjoined when
the Muhaajiroon ASKED HIM WHICH KIND OF WEALTH THEY SHOULD ACQUIRE, AND HE SAID:
�LET ONE OF YOU ACQUIRE A TONGUE THAT REMEMBERS ALLAAH, A THANKFUL HEART, AND A
BELIEVING WIFE WHO WILL HELP HIM WITH REGARD TO THE HEREAFTER.� Narrated by al-
Tirmidhi from Saalim ibn Abi�l-Ja�d, from Thawbaan.
It was narrated that Sa�d ibn Abi Waqqaas said: The Messenger of Allaah (peace and
blessings of Allaah be upon him) said: �THERE ARE FOUR THINGS THAT ARE ESSENTIAL
FOR HAPPINESS: A RIGHTEOUS WIFE, A SPACIOUS HOME, A GOOD NEIGHBOUR AND A SOUND
MEANS OF TRANSPORTATION. AND THERE ARE FOUR THINGS THAT MAKE ONE MISERABLE: A BAD
NEIGHBOUR, A BAD WIFE, A SMALL HOUSE AND A BAD MEANS OF TRANSPORTATION.�
�A believing wife who will help him with his faith� means, with his religious
commitment, BY REMINDING HIM TO PRAY, FAST AND DO OTHER ACTS OF WORSHIP, AND WILL
KEEP HIM FROM COMMITTING ZINA AND ALL OTHER HARAAM DEEDS.
O Messenger of Allaah, what kind of wealth should we acquire? He said: �LET ONE OF
YOU ACQUIRE A THANKFUL HEART, A TONGUE THAT REMEMBERS ALLAAH AND A BELIEVING WIFE
WHO WILL HELP HIM WITH REGARD TO THE HEREAFTER.�
What this means is that a man who is religiously committed and of noble character
should make religion his focus in all things, especially with regard to long-term
matters. So the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) enjoined
finding a wife who is religiously committed, which is the ultimate goal.
�MAY YOUR HANDS BE RUBBED WITH DUST� is urging him to strive hard and roll up his
sleeves and seek that which is enjoined.
It was narrated from Abu Hurayrah (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Prophet
(blessings and peace of Allah be upon him) said: �Women may be married for four
things: their wealth, their lineage, their beauty and their religious commitment.
Choose the one who is religiously-committed, may your hands be rubbed with dust
(i.e., may you prosper).�
It is on this basis that the wise man should choose the one who will accompany him
in this world. It was narrated from �Abdullah ibn �Amr that the Messenger of Allah
(blessings and peace of Allah be upon him) said: �This world is temporary joys, and
the best temporary joy of this world is a righteous wife.� Narrated by Muslim,
1467; Ibn Maajah, 1855, with the wording, �Indeed, this world is no more than
temporary joys, and there is no temporary joy of this world that is better than a
righteous wife.�
