❝Those who spend their wealth in the cause of Allāh and do not follow their charity with reminders of their generosity or hurtful words—they will get their reward from their Lord, and there will be no fear for them, nor will they grieve.❞
[Sūrah Al-Baqarah 262]
Why are you not then shy of Allah’s angels who keep watch of every move that you make?
(وَإِنَّ عَلَیۡكُمۡ لَحَـٰفِظِینَ كِرَامࣰا كَـٰتِبِینَ یَعۡلَمُونَ مَا تَفۡعَلُونَ)
“Verily, you are certainly observed by vigilant, honourable angels, recording ˹everything˺. They know whatever you do.”
[Surah Al-Infitar 10 - 12]
You are shy of people, yet your shame to engage in these acts before the King of all Kings; the most severe in punishment (Allah)!

This is an email correspondence I received today. I thought I'd share it as a lesson for us all:
❝Assalamualaikum Wa Rahmatullaahi Wa Barakaatuhu, please, someone really needs help. There is a boy who was trying in practicing Islaam. But as time goes, he fell short in issues regarding FAHSHAA (probably during his time of weakness). He found himself watching pornographic videos and pictures online. Anytime he…
I came across these words of wisdom on a brother's status and thought I'd share:

يا لها من رحلة!
What a journey!
تبدأ من ظهر الأب إلى بطن الأم
It starts from the father's loins through to the mother's womb
ومن بطن الأم إلى ظهر الأرض
Then from the mother's womb to the earth's surface
ومن ظهر الأرض إلى بطن الأرض
And from the earth's surface into the earth's stomach
وفي كل محطة ترى العجب
And at every stage you encounter wondrous things
وفي النهاية تحط الرحال

IT'S POSSIBLE FOR A WOMAN TO LOSE HER VIRGINITY THROUGH OTHER THAN ZINĀ, SO LET'S ASSUME THE BEST UNLESS THERE'S SOMETHING SOLID TO SUGGEST OTHERWISE
Sheikh ‘Abdulazīz ibn Bāz raḥimahullāh was asked the following question:
📝 Question:
How can a husband know that his wife is not a virgin due to a reason other than Zina (premarital sexual intercourse and/or adultery)?
✅ Answer:
It is not necessarily that her…
Important note:
لا يجوز صيام يوم الثالث عشر من ذي الحجة
It's not allowed to fast the 13th of Dhul Ḥijjah (today)
إلا لمن لم يجد الهدي
except for the (mutamatti‘) who hasn't found (or can't afford) a sacrificial animal
فهي *أيام عيد*
That is because these (11th, 12th, 13th) are the days of ‘Eid.
فعن عروة، عن عائشة وعن سالم عن ابن عمر رضي الله عنهم قالا:
On the authority of ‘Urwah from ‘Ā’ishah and on the…
Tomorrow is the 13th of Dhul Hijjah; the first of the 3 white days (ayyamul beeḍh). It's usually recommended to fast these 3 days. You might even recieve monthly reminders encouraging you to fast. But what's going on this month? No 'white day' reminders...Any ideas why that may be?
And remind, for certainly reminders benefit the believers.
[Surah Adh-Dhāriyāt 55]
Tomorrow is a Thursday like no other Thursday; the 9th of Dhul Ḥijjah - the Day of ‘Arafah.
Fasting on this day is highly recommended, as too is praising Allāh ﷻ - especially with the following words:
لا إله إلا الله وحده لا شريك له، له الملك وله الحمد وهو على كل شيء قدير
There is none worthy of worship except Allāh, alone,…
Dear brothers & sisters in faith, I hope you are all well. I want to update you that we discontinued the classes temporarily due to moving house. Initially we thought that 2 weeks would give us enough time to complete the move but it turns out that we need more time. For this reason, we'll reschedule the restart for after Eid (Eidul Aḍḥā + the 3 days of tashreeq) in shā Allāh. Please forgive us for any…
Ibn ‘Abbās raḍhiyallāhu ‘anhumā said,
The Prophet ﷺ would supplicate, saying:
رَبِّ أَعِنِّي وَلاَ تُعِنْ عَلَيَّ
My Lord, aid me and do not aid against me
وَانْصُرْنِي وَلاَ تَنْصُرْ عَلَيَّ
Give me victory and do not grant victory over me
وَامْكُرْ لِي وَلاَ تَمْكُرْ عَلَيَّ
Plot for me and do not aid against me
وَاهْدِنِي وَيَسِّرْ هُدَاىَ إِلَيَّ
Guide me and facilitate guidance for me
وَانْصُرْنِي عَلَى…
I pray that you are all well.
I just wanted to notify you that due to unforseen circumstances the Arabic series will be on hold temporarily for the next two weeks, starting from today.
Please forgive us for any inconveniences caused and may Allāh keep you all in the best of health and Émān
We must accept the truth at the first instance, or else this👇🏽 might be our fate:
{وَنُقَلِّبُ أَفۡـِٔدَتَهُمۡ وَأَبۡصَـٰرَهُمۡ كَمَا لَمۡ یُؤۡمِنُوا۟ بِهِۦۤ أَوَّلَ مَرَّةࣲ وَنَذَرُهُمۡ فِی طُغۡیَـٰنِهِمۡ یَعۡمَهُونَ}
“We shall turn their hearts and eyes away ˹from the truth˺ since they refused to believe in it the first time, and We will leave them to wander blindly in their defiance.”
[Sūrah Al-An‘ām 110]
Sheikh ‘Abdurrahmān As-Si‘dī raḥimahullāh commented:
“That is, We will punish them -…
