Stop Advertising Your Businesses In The Masjid!
One of the most common forms of advertising—though many people hardly notice it—is through prayer calendars hung in the prayer halls. Many of these calendars promote businesses that sponsor/offer financial assistance to the Masjid.

Worship is not limited to the masjid
Sheikh ’Abdulkareem Al-Khudhair ḥafidhahullāh said:
The matters of this worldly life should not be the Muslim’s main concern; only a sufficient portion of it is needed. Self-interest regarding worldly affairs is of little consequence so long as one’s principal capital—namely, religion—remains intact. Many people have lived decades in this world, indeed some have lived their…
Smooth Deals, No Drama
Question: If someone buys a product, can they mention the hadith:
((رحم الله امرءًا سَمْحًا إذا باع))
“May Allāh have mercy on a person who is easygoing when he sells” to the shop owner?
Sheikh ibn Baz rahimahullah:
What is the objection? The Prophet ﷺ said:
“May Allāh have mercy on a person who is easygoing when he sells, easygoing when he buys, and easygoing when he collects (a…
وترى الكريم إذا تصرم وصله * يخفي القبيح ويظهر الإحسانا
وترى اللئيم إذا تقضى وصله * يخفي الجميل ويظهر البهتانا.
You will find the noble, when the bond is cut,
conceals what is blameworthy and displays kindness.
But the ignoble, when the bond is ended,
hides the good and displays slander.
[Iḥyāʾ ʿUlūm Ad-Dīn, 2/195]

Safeguarding Secrets
Sheikh Faisal Al-Hashidi ḥafidhahullāh writes:
Remember, my brother in faith, that one who entrusts you with his secrets is a brother who loves you and has placed his confidence in you. Therefore, be worthy of his trust and protect his secrets just as you would protect any trust—material or otherwise.
Jābir ibn ʿAbdillāh (may Allāh be pleased with him) narrated that the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ…
Fond Memories of Sheikh Muqbil's Chair | Related by one of his young students
"About a year before the passing of Shaykh Muqbil—may Allāh have mercy on him—when I was about nine years old, I used to crawl beneath it and face the wall, striving to read and memorise the Qur'ān.
Sometimes I would close myself inside the table and press it against the wall so that I could revise without distractions. If sleep overtook me, I would sleep inside it. At times, some of the other boys would reach it…
Middlesbrough Central Masjid was among the masjids that welcomed us most warmly during our daʿwah trip—particularly brother Zafar and the Libyan imam (I forgot his name), who received us graciously ov
How Sheikh Abdulḥamīd Az-Zu'kari began his journey in seeking knowledge
The Sheikh mentions during one of the classes:
"...from ʿAlī ibn al-Madīnī, who said: “Sufyān narrated to us.”
“Who is this Sufyān, Abā al-Khair?”
...
“Sufyān ibn ʿUyaynah.”
This is a rule: whenever ʿAlī ibn al-Madīnī reports from Sufyān, it refers to Ibn ʿUyaynah.
He said: “ʿAmr narrated to us.” This, too, is a beneficial point: we…
A new class on the Fiqh of Inheritance will be starting soon, In-shā-Allāh. The class will be held in person and taught by Khalid Abu Sulaymān, ḥafidhahullāh. Further details will be shared shortly. This is a reminder for you to obtain a copy of the book in time for the class.

Question: Why do you share business adverts on your channels?
Answer: I share adverts on my channels for the following reasons:
1⃣. To Encourage and Support Halāl Initiatives
In a society saturated with ḥarām, many justify engaging in doubtful or clearly prohibited practices by claiming that “there is no halāl alternative.” Sharing adverts helps demonstrate that halāl options do exist.
(See:…
والله يا أخي، إن كان قد لحقكم خسائر بسبب هذا التسجيل معكم، فلا بأس أن تأخذوا العربون. وأما إذا كان لم يلحقكم خسائر، فردوا إليهم حقهم، أو خذوا بقدر خسائركم ((لا يحل مال امرئ مسلم إلا بطيبة من نفسه)).
By Allāh, my brother, if you have incurred losses because of this registration, then there is no harm in taking the deposit. However, if no loss has befallen you, then return to them their due, or take only an amount…
BENEFIT: Is it permissible to take a deposit (Part 2)
This is a question from some brothers; we kindly request an answer and clarification.
We have established a company that organises ʿUmrah trips, in which we take groups to perform ʿUmrah and visit Makkah and Madinah. We provide all necessary services, including airline tickets, hotels, transportation, guided tours, and other related arrangements. Our question is as follows:
The number of travellers is usually…
When you have more than you need, build a longer table, not a higher fence
On the authority of Abū Hurayrah (may Allah be pleased with him): the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said:
((مَا نَقَصَتْ صَدَقَةٌ مِنْ مَالٍ، وَمَا زَادَ اللهُ عَبْدًا بِعَفْوٍ إِلَّا عِزًّا، وَمَا تَوَاضَعَ أَحَدٌ للهِ إِلَّا رَفَعَهُ اللهُ)).
“Charity does not diminish wealth; and Allāh increases a servant only…
Question: What is the ruling on what is called a “promise to buy”? Is it considered a form of riba?
Sheikh Ibn Baz rahimahullah:
A promise to buy is not the same as an actual purchase. It is only a promise.
So, if a person wants to buy something and asks someone else to buy it first and then sell it to him, this is allowed as long as the first person really: (1) buys the item, (2) takes possession of it, and only…
BENEFIT: Is it permissible to take a deposit (when selling items that you own)?
Sheikh Yahya ḥafidhahullāh:
Yes, it is permissible to take a deposit. If the buyer meets the deadline and takes the item, then all is well and good. But if he does not meet it, the seller may take the deposit as compensation for the lost opportunity. The ruling on this is that it is not prohibited. For example, the buyer says: “Reserve this item for me,” and the seller remains waiting, missing out on the market and…

Hold Fast to The Middle Path
Sheikh Daghsh ibn Shabeeb Al-’Ajmi ḥafidhahullāh states:
"They (Ahlus-Sunnah) are moderate among the factions of the Ummah; for in every matter that Allāh, Mighty and Exalted, commands His servants, Shayṭān stirs two inclinations: either toward excess or toward negligence. And Shayṭān does not care in which of the two valleys a person perishes. Thus, some people seize a matter and…
Some ikhwa—may Allāh bless them in this life and the next—have created this helpful bot. It’s still being updated, but we hope it benefits you on your Arabic learning journey.
Many of us grew up believing that quality is tied to price — that the more expensive something is, the better it must be. This may be true regarding worldly goods, but do NOT approach Islamic knowledge with this same mindset.
Allāh ﷻ said:
{ ٱتَّبِعُوا۟ مَن لَّا یَسۡـَٔلُكُمۡ أَجۡرࣰا وَهُم مُّهۡتَدُونَ }
