8⃣- Being adamant on video recording shows a lack of tolerance and leads to marginalisation
How is that?
Well, those who hold the view that video-recording is haram will be sinful for attending Tarawih (another reason why I prefer to pray at home), because - according to them - the following statements would take effect:
Sheikhul Islam rahimahullah said:
(لا يجوز لأحدٍ أن يحضر مجالس المنكر باختياره لغير ضرورة)
“It is not permissible for anyone to willingly attend a gathering of Munkar without a dire…
Imam An-Nawawi rahimahullah mentions in his explanation of Sahih Muslim, under the Hadith of Abu Sa'eed Al-Khudri - من رأى منكم منكرا:
((الأمر بالمعروف والنهي عن المنكر فرض كفاية إذا قام به بعض الناس سقط الحرج عن الباقين ، وإذا تركه الجميع أثم كل من تمكن منه بلا عذر ولا خوف))
“Enjoining good and forbidding evil is a communal obligation; if some people take on this task, the burden is removed from the rest, but if…
Some see me praying Isha in the masjid and leaving straight after. Others look at me in surprise when I tell them I pray Tarawih at home. What's the fuss? Am I sinful, or am I losing ajr for praying at home instead of the masjid?
Before mentioning the difference of opinion, let us unite the hearts by mentioning the issues of agreement:
1⃣. All are agreed that praying Tarawih is a Sunnah [An-Nawawi relayed an…
It MAY be better to pray at home
Sheikh Muqbil rahimahullah said:
“It (i.e. Tarawih prayer) is a Sunnah, and it is comprised of eleven Raka'aat (units), because 'Aishah radhiyallahu 'anha said: “The Prophet ﷺ did not pray more than elven, in Ramadan, nor outside of Ramadan.”
If one adds two short units [to start], such that the total units are thirteen, this is also established.
So this is the Sunnah.
And we…
Debunking A Common Misconception related to Tarawih
It's not obligatory to pray Tarawih!
In fact, the Prophet ﷺ refrained from praying Tarawih in the masjid for fear that it may become obligatory.
Narrated 'Aishah radhiyallahu 'anha:
“One night Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) offered the prayer in the Mosque and the people followed him. The next night he also offered the prayer and too many people gathered. On the third…
Aside from the 5 obligatory prayers (which have their own specific Adhkar), there are ONLY two voluntary prayers after which a Muslim is encouraged to say a specific Dhikr:
1⃣- After Witr, it's Sunnah to say:
سُبْحَانَ الْمَلِكِ الْقُدُّوسِ
three times, while raising the voice on the third count. See link ⤵️

2⃣- After Dhuha, it's Sunnah to say:
اللَّهُمَّ اغْفِرْ…
Is one considered a show-off for beautifying their voice when reciting in front of people?
Sheikh Uthaymīn, may Allāh have mercy on him, said:
On the authority of Abū Mūsā Al-Ash'arī -may Allāh be pleased with him- that:
The Messenger of Allāh (ﷺ) said to me, 'If you were to see me, as I was listening to your recitation [of the Qur'ān] last night [you would have been delighted]. You are in fact endowed with a…
What to say after Witr:
After Witr prayer, it is recommended to say:
سُـبْـحَـانَ الْـمَـلِـكِ الْـقُـدُّوسِ
Subḥānal-Malikil-Quddūs
"Glory be to the Sovereign, the Most Holy.” (Three times)
It is reported by Aḥmad (3/406) and others on the authority of 'AbdurRaḥmān ibn Abzā -may Allāh be pleased with him- that the Prophet ﷺ used to recite in Witr:
سبح اسم ربك الأعلى
[i.e., Sūrah Al-A’lā (87) in the first…
1⃣- Store food correctly. Use foil wraps, clingfilm, food containers, etc.
If there's no space in the fridge/freezer, then ⤵️
2⃣- Get creative with what you already have instead of leaving your fridge/freezer space-less with more stock
3⃣- Plan your meals well. Consider how many people you're cooking for and measure your ingredients accordingly
4⃣- The 'Best before date' is an indication of quality rather than…
A month of appreciating - not one of wasting
Sheikh Fawzān ḥafidhahullāh said:
Honouring food, appreciating it, staying away from wasting and throwing it away by eating a little and dumping the rest in the bin...large dishes, but only a little is eaten and the rest is thrown in the bin; this is from Kufr-An-Ani'mah (showing ingratitude to Allah's blessings). We ask Allah for wellbeing. This is Kufr-An-Ani'mah,…
If you're not able to read Arabic (which is what you need to be able to read the Qur'an), I encourage to check out the playlist on the channel "The basics of Arabic reading & writing". Judging from feedback thus far, they seem to be helping students.

Is it obligatory to break the fast with an odd number of dates?
Sheikh 'Uthaymeen rahimahullah said:
It is not obligatory, in fact, it is not even sunnah for one to break their fast with an odd number (of dates); be it 3, 5, 7, 9, etc., with the exception of 'Eidul Fitr; for it is established that the Prophet ﷺ would not go out in the morning for ('Eid) Salah on Eidul Fitr unless he ate some dates; an odd number…
'Ā’ishah -raḍhiyallāhu 'anhā- narrated that the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ taught her this supplication:
"O Allāh, I ask You for all that is good, in this world and in the Hereafter, what I know and what I do not know.
O Allāh, I seek refuge with You from all evil, in this world and in the Hereafter, what I know and what I do not know.
O Allāh, I ask You for the good that Your slave and Prophet Muḥammad ﷺ has asked You for,
and I seek refuge with You from the evil from which Your slave and Prophet sought refuge.…
I want to share with you a very beautiful du'ā of the Prophet ﷺ
▪️ a du'ā which the most beloved person to Allāh (rasūlu-Allāh) taught his most beloved (Ā'ishah).
▪️ a du'ā which is arguably the most concise and the most comprehensive du'ā ever!
▪️ wherein a person asks Allāh for every type of good possible and seeks refuge with Allāh from every type of evil possible.
▪️ a du'ā which the great Ṣaḥābī 'Abdullāh ibn Mas'ūd -raḍhiyallāhu 'anhu- would frequently say in his…

I sent this link above because I downloaded the recitations from the Sheikh's official channel, but they were all separated for each surah, and it takes a long time to download. The links I sent are a zip file and you will get a folder with all 114 surah in it (credit to Salman جزاه الله خيرا)
I think some people misunderstood my saying, “aside from you paying for membership”
What's meant is you paying for your own membership - NOT PAYING FOR THE CHANNEL'S MEMBERSHIP. It's free for me to post on there. I just don't want to expose people to these silly ads, which is why I was looking for FREE alternatives for viewers. Paying for your membership (£6.99 a month - student plan) is being incentivised by…
YouTube have recently changed their Ads policy, hence why you see ads appearing in the videos - even though the channel is not monetised. I, a Muslim who has a right to your Naseehah(*), request your counsel in this matter; is there any way I can get rid of these silly ads, aside from you paying for membership?
