Islaam is NOT a religion of equality but of Justice - Sheikh Uthaimeen
There are some people who speak of
equality instead of justice, and this is a mistake. We should not say equality,
because equality implies no differentiation between the two. Because of this
unjust call for equality, they ask, “What is the difference between male and
female?” So they have made men similar to women. The communists said,
Advice for those women who believe that the home is a prison (for them)
Question: Is there any advice for those women who believe that the home is a prison (for them)?
Sheikh ’Uthaimeen رحمه الله says:
“Yes, that which I
say to those women is that the One who has made the house a “prison” if it is
even proper to say that is Allaah, the Mighty and Majestic. The Most High says:
وَقَرْنَ
فِي بُيُوتِكُنَّ
(Al-Ahzab 33:33)

The path always starts with …
“The [path] always starts
with trials & tests, then comes the period of patience & reliance [upon
Allah], & the end is enlightenment, guidance & victory.”

Al-Aleel, p.247) – Imaam ibnul-Qayyim

Take Heed O Negligent One to make up your missed Ramadan Fasts!!
Days missed from
previous Ramadan must be made up before
the next Ramadan -
Source:
Fatwas of Ibn Baz رحمه الله
Q:
If Ramadan comes and someone still has days of Sawm (Fasting) to make up for
from the previous Ramadan, are they considered sinful for not having made up the
days before the start of the next Ramadan? Do they have to make a Kaffarah
(expiation) or not?
Fasting during the month of Sha`baan
“I have never seen
the Messenger of Allaah صلّى اللَّهُ عليه وسلّم completing the
fast of a month as he did for Ramadhan, and I
have never seen him fasting so much as he would in Sha`baan.”
[al-Bukhari & Muslim]
** Sha`baan is the month before Ramadan
Khutbah about the Messenger (صلّى اللَّهُ عليه وسلّم)
A Poet stated:
“And if your love was true you would
have followed him
For verily the one who loves someone
follows him.”
After Khutbah Al Haajah:
Allaah سُبحانه وتعالى has blessed us with sending Muhammad (صلّى
اللَّهُ عليه وسلّم). He is the intermediary between Allaah and his creation in
delivering the message (which Allaah gave him). And from what is specific to
him is that he was sent to Allaah of Mankind. Allaah has said: “Say (O
Muhammad) O people verily I am the Messenger of Allaah to all of you”. And
he has said in a Hadeeth that is agreed upon by Imam Al Bukhari and Imam
Muslim: “And I was sent to all of mankind”. And he is the last of the
Prophets sent to mankind, therefore there is no Prophet after him. Allaah سُبحانه
وتعالى
has
said: “Muhammad is not the father of any of your men but he is the Messenger
of Allaah and the final of the Prophets”. And the Messenger of Allaah (صلّى
اللَّهُ عليه وسلّم) has said: “There will be thirty liars after me, all of them
will say that he is a Prophet and there is no Prophet after me”.
Beautiful Hadeeth
On the Authority of Abu Musa Al Ash’aree
رضي اللّه عنـه said:
“We prayed Maghrib
with the Messenger (صلّى اللَّهُ عليه وسلّم) and
we said,’ let us sit so as to pray with him the Isha prayer’, so we sat. Then
he صلّى اللَّهُ عليه وسلّم came out to us and said : “You have
remained here?” So we said: O Messenger of Allaah we prayed Maghrib with you,
and we said: ‘we will stay with you until we pray Isha.’ He said: “You have
done well.” Then he
(صلّى
اللَّهُ عليه وسلّم) raised his head to the sky, and he used to raise his head
often to the sky and said: “The stars are a
protection for the sky, and when the stars are gone whatever happens to the sky
happens to it, and I am a safety for my companions, and when I go away whatever
is promised for them will come to pass, and my companions are a safety for my
Ummah and when my companions go away whatever is promised to my Ummah will come
to pass.”
(Narrated in
Saheeh Muslim)
Is Zakaah better in Ramadan, even though it is one of the pillars of Islaam?
Sheikh ‘Uthaimeen (رحمه الله)
replied:
Zakaah, like other good deeds, is better when done at a time
of virtue, but when zakaah becomes obligatory and the year has passed, it
becomes obligatory for a person to pay it, and he should not delay it until Ramadan.
If the year is completed in Rajab, then he should not delay it until Ramadan,
rather he should pay it in Rajab. If the year is completed in Muharram then he
should pay it in Muharram, and not delay it until Ramadan. But if the year is
completed in Ramadan, then he should pay it in Ramadan.
