Do Not Become Accustomed to Comfort and Luxury !!

  

Sheikh Muhammad bin ‘Uthaimeen رحمهم الله said:

“This is a piece of advice that should be given to both the student of knowledge and other than the student of knowledge. This is because indulging in these things contradicts the guidance of the Prophet صلّى اللَّهُ عليهوسلّم, as he used to forbid excessive luxury, and would sometimes enjoin others to be barefoot. The person who becomes accustomed to comfort will find it difficult to face various situations, as he will face things that do not correspond to the luxury and comfort that he is used to.

Regarding that which is created from smokeless fire... The JINN!!

Ibn Hazmرحمه الله  said:

The Jinn are real, and they are creatures created by Allaah سُبحانه وتعالى. Among them are kaafirs and believers. They can see us but we cannot see them. They eat, have children and die.

Allaahسُبحانه وتعالى  says in His Noble Book: 

يَا مَعْشَرَ الْجِنِّ وَالإِنسِ

“O you assembly of Jinn and Mankind!”

[al-An’aam 6:130]

وَالْجَآنَّ خَلَقْنَاهُ مِن قَبْلُ مِن نَّارِ السَّمُومِ

“And the Jinn, We created aforetime from the smokeless flame of fire.”

[al-Hijr 15:27]

وَأَنَّا مِنَّا الْمُسْلِمُونَ وَمِنَّاالْقَاسِطُونَ فَمَنْ أَسْلَمَ فَأُوْلَئِكَ تَحَرَّوْا رَشَدًا

وَأَمَّاالْقَاسِطُونَ فَكَانُوا لِجَهَنَّمَ حَطَبًا

“And of us some are Muslims (who have submitted to Allaah, after listening to this Qur'aan), and of us some are Al-Qaasitoon (disbelievers those who have deviated from the Right Path)’. And whosoever has embraced Islam (i.e. has become a Muslim by submitting to Allaah), then such have sought the Right Path.”

“And as for the Qaasitoon (disbelievers who deviated from the Right Path), they shall be firewood for Hell.”

[al-Jinn 72:14-15]

“You must be willing to have hope that you can change…”

“You must be willing to change. You must be willing to break the deal you made with the devils within. You must be willing to leave the past and not be tempted to rebound when times are tough. You must be willing to let go of everything and anyone that takes you back to your sins. You must be willing to have hope. You must be willing to have hope that you can change and that you will and that you will be better. You must believe you are worthy of change and you are worthy of improvement and you are worthy of being the best. You must be willing to set aside your negative notions about life, about hardships, about people, about things, about yourself. You must be willing to stop feeling sorry for yourself while looking at the world move around you. Get up and make something of yourself.”

What Is Beneath the Graves Is Known Only to the Knower of the Unseen..!

Question addressed to Sheikh Uthaimeen رحمه الله: Is the torment of the grave one of the matters of the unseen or of the seen world? What is the reason why it is made one of the matters of the unseen?

Answer: The torment of the grave is one of the matters of the unseen. How many people in these graves are being tormented but we do not realize it, and how many of their neighbors' are being blessed with a door opened for them to Paradise, but we do not realize it? What is beneath the graves is known only to the Knower of the Unseen. The torment of the grave is one of the matters of the unseen, and were it not for the revelation that came to the Prophet صلّى اللَّهُ عليه وسلّم, we would not know anything about it.

Ruling on women advertising their desire to marry in newspapers

 Fatwa no. 17930

Q: What is the ruling on women advertising in newspapers & magazines their descriptions seeking marriage?

A: A woman advertising her desire to marry in newspapers and magazines and listing her descriptions conflicts with chastity, modesty and decency. It is NOT a Muslim custom at all. Thus, it is obligatory to refrain from doing it. Furthermore, it conflicts with the responsibility of her Waliy (a legally accountable person acting for a woman seeking marriage) through whose approval she may be given in marriage.

“Describe her to me.”

Your Child's Morals & Attitude??

            

Ibnul Qayyim رحمه الله said:

"One thing that the child desperately needs is for care to be taken with regard to his morals & attitude, for he will grow up with whatever the one who is raising him accustoms him to when he is small, & when he grows older it becomes difficult for him to change what he has gotten used to; these attitudes & characteristics that have become deeply ingrained in him, even if he tries to suppress them, they will always surface & expose him."

Islaamically approved treatment for Postnatal Depression

 

             Fatwa # 3828 {The Permanent Committee for Scholarly Research and Ifta’}

Question: I am a Muslim woman in my twenties. I was married about a year & a half ago & thanks to Allaah, I had a baby six months ago delivered naturally. A week after delivery, I began to suffer from severe depression, which had never happened to me before. I lost interest in everything, even taking care of the baby. I went to a psychiatrist & took medication until recently, but it was of no use & I became tired of long treatment.

Is Smoking H-A-R-A-A-M ??

Dr. Saleh as Saleh رحمه الله

Edited by: Umm Hasna bint Jabir as-Saylâniyyah

Many Muslims regard smoking as disliked by Sharee’ah but not forbidden. When an advice is given about smoking and its ruling you often hear a defensive response. People know the killing effects of smoking, but Satan wants them to keep on spending and burning their chests.

Certainly, cigarettes were not present in the lifetime of the Prophet صلّى اللَّهُ عليه وسلّم. However, what was present and will continue to be present is the Revelation in its forms, the Qur’aan and authentic Sunnah. The Qur’aan formulated the prohibition of everything that is evil:

وَيُحِلُّ لَهُمُ الطَّيِّبَاتِ وَيُحَرِّمُ عَلَيْهِمُ الْخَبَآئِثَ

“He allows them all that is good & lawful, &  prohibits them as unlawful all that is evil.”

(Al-A'raf 7:157)

Evil manifests itself in things, deeds, beliefs, persons, foods, drinks, etc.

Let us see whether smoking is evil or not?

Try to practice this Ayah at least once in your life

By Sheikh Uthaimeen رحمه الله

Allaah سُبحانه وتعالى said:

لَن تَنَالُواْ الْبِرَّ حَتَّى تُنفِقُواْ مِمَّا تُحِبُّونَ وَمَا تُنفِقُواْ مِن شَيْءٍ

'By no means shall you attain Al-Birr (piety, righteousness, Paradise), unless you spend from that which you love.'

 (Soorah 'Āli Imrān 3:92)

 
The people should implement this verse, even if they do so ONE time. If he is amazed by something from his wealth, then let him give it in charity; perhaps he may attain 'Al-Birr'.  

(Tafseer Surah 'Āli Imrān)
