The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said:

“There are three things which if a person finds them, he has found the sweetness of faith: when Allah and His Messenger are dearer to him than all else; when he loves a person for no other reason than for the sake of Allah; and when he hates to return to kufr after Allah has saved him from it as he would hate to be thrown into fire.” (Narrated from the hadith of Anas ibn Malik)

Exposing something of your body to the rain

With regards to exposing something of your body to the rain, this Sunnah can be practised by unveiling any portion of the body, like one’s head or arms or foot or the likes.

One should not expose one’s Awrah in front of others in practicing this Sunnah. And one should avoid standing in the rain if it may cause harm or sickness to oneself.

Offer voluntary prayers at home

Sheikh ibn ‘Uthaymeen raḥimahullaah said:

“It is from wisdom that a person performs his voluntary prayers at home, so his children can see and learn from him and so the womenfolk can follow his example. Also, this is so his house does not become a grave wherein no prayers are offered.”

[شرح بلوغ المرام 3/46]

Note:
The voluntary sunnah prayers after the fardh prayers are best to be prayed at home as well, it’s more rewarding for men to pray them at their homes than in masaajid.

Why wouldn’t you try?

Why is it hard to be grateful to Allah for some people? If someone favours you and helps you in person im sure the least you would do is say thank you. Then imagine The creator, your lord, the lord of the universe, the one we need to worship, the one we seek for help everytime.. The one we ask guidance from everyday, the one we ask for mercy, the one who does actually all that as well, He would test you and yet bless you with more during patience..

Men and women shouldn’t be complicated creatures to each other

Men and women are different but they are more understanding, supportive, patient, are wiser, merciful and cooperative than boys and girls, if you look at the way Islam commands men and women to be, if you still are a boy or a girl post puberty then by all means jump into the well of realization and get a deep dunk.

The existence of Allah - (Matters of Aqeedah #1)

The existence of Allah – (Matters of Aqeedah #1)

واعلم أن الوجود نوعان:
الأول: وجود ذاتي، بحيث يوصف الشيء بأنه موجود، ولم يوجده أحد، وهذا هو الوجود الذي يوصف الله تعالى به، ولا يكون لأحد سواه.

والنوع الثاني: وجود بغيره، أي أن الشيء موجود، ولكن أوجده غيره، وهذا هو الوجود الذي يوصف به جميع المخلوقات، فالله تعالى هو الخالق وحده، وكل ما سواه مخلوق، وهو الواجد وحده، وكل ما سواه موجود بهذا المعنى.

قال ابن القيم رحمه الله:

On the matter of Niyyah #3

Bilāl bin Sa’d رحمه الله stated:

“Do not be the friend of Allāh in the public (eye) while you are His enemy in private.”

[Al-Ikhlās wa An-Niyyah (23)]

This can be interpreted in various ways:
1. Dont make deen a public show
2. Renew your intentions before you commit any good deed
3. Sometimes people sin in private although usually they aren’t so, especially in public, they should look at their intentions and heart, does it desire peoples pleasure or is it just that in private spaces shaitaans whispers just gets the best of them… Its better to be a . . . see more

Early life of Rasulullah (saw) (Part 1)

Given the importance of ancestry in Arab society, the Prophet Muhammad’s family tree was extensively documented. He was born into a family that, via Ismaeel, could trace its lineage back to the Prophet Ibraheem (Abraham). Abu Muttalib bin Hashim bin Abdu Munaf bin Kilab bin Murrah bin Ka’b bin Luayy bin Ghalib bin Fihr bin Malik bin Nadir bin Kinana bin Khuzaymah bin Mudrika bin Ilyas bin Mudhr bin Nizar bin Ma’d bin Adnan is the lineage of the Prophet. Although all academics concur that Adnan was descended from Isma’eel (asl), there is considerable disagreement regarding how many generations separated . . . see more

Marital mayhem

One of the most fundamental necessities of a good marriage is حسن الظن:

Having a good assumption of your spouse.

Giving your spouse the benefit of the doubt.

Assuming a default assumption of good, of benevolence, of sincerity.

Whenever a situation could be interpreted either as positive or as negative, always choose the positive.

In my experience of dealing with married couples, talking to hurt spouses, and informally mediating between fighting husbands and wives, this has stood out to me as one of the biggest sources of problems: the husband assuming ill of his wife and . . . see more

Why is it that you seek recognition?

“Fame, the idol of our age, demands sacrifices of honor, dignity, and even sanity. People foolishly chase recognition, even if it means compromising their integrity. Wise individuals, however, seek obscurity, prioritizing substance over superficiality. As Sufyan al-Thawri wisely said, “I wish I could live unnoticed.”
~Shaykh Saifullah

What is in being recognized that is safer than what is found in being unrecognized? What are you chasing? Troubles? Problems? Evil eyes? Destruction? Loss off good deeds? If Allah grants you recognition that also means he provides you with imaan and protection, he provides you with His mercy, providing you are humble . . . see more

Niyyaah in the matters of fasting – Part 2

Q1. What is the ruling of An-Niyyah with respect to fasting?

Niyah is an essential and basic prerequisite for all acts of worship. As-Si’dee raḥimahullāh said in his ‘Mandhūmah Al-Qawā’id Al-Fiqhiyyah’:
النية شرط لسائر العمل * بها الصلاح والفساد للعمل
An-Niyyah is a condition for all acts * by way of it (the Niyyah) actions are either sound or corrupt

Thus, the Niyyah is a requirement for every fast, whether the fast is obligatory or a voluntary one. The Prophet ﷺ said: “Actions are judged according to intentions, and everyone will be rewarded according to what he intended.” [Bukhāri . . . see more

Summarised benefits from Sheikh Uthaymeen’s explanation of Riyadh As-saliheen

BENEFIT 1
The Niyyah (intention) is located in the heart. There is no need to utter the intention out loud because Allah knows what is in our hearts. What’s more, uttering the intention out loud is an innovation in the Deen (Bid’ah), because the Prophet ﷺ NEVER used to utter the intention out loud.

Example:
نويت أن أصلي الظهر أربع ركعات لله تعالى

Uttering this above arabic statement out loud before commencing the prayer is an innovation!
