Shahadah in Islam

Any bleeding occurring during HRT treatment is considered as a nuisance to prayer activities. As a matter of fact, bleeding of this sort is different from the bleeding caused by menstruation. During menstruation prayer is not justifiable, while bleeding caused by HRT use can be justified while performing prayer. The following is written by Professor Hassan Hathout . The word menopause literally means cessation of the menstrual function, and is only a single incident along a broader complex of changes as the woman grows older referred to as the climacteric, which spans perhaps several years. As normal menstrual function is the expression of cyclic hormonal changes associated with ovulation, it follows that the menopause usually heralds cessation of the reproductive function. The human female is almost unique amongst mammals in that her reproductive life does not continue all through her biological life, and it is not uncommon for women to have more than one third of their lives after th...

Salam, To all Muslim Brothers & Sisters, Once Hazrath Gibrael (A.S.) came to our beloved Prophet (S.A.W) and told him that Allah( S.W.T. ) has given him (Hazrath Gibrael A.S) the knowledge and strength to count every leaf on the trees on earth, every fish in the sea, every star in the sky and every particle of sand in the entire universe, but there is only one thing that he cannot count. So our beloved Prophet ( S.A.W.) asked Hazrath Gibrael (A.S) what was that he could not count. Hazrath Gibrael (A.S.) replied : Whenone of your ummah recite Durood (Salawaath) or send salaam to you, The Blessings that Allah ( S.W.T.) showers upon such a person becomes impossible for me to count. Kindly forward to everyone you know. May Allah ( S.W.T.) reward you abundantly. Jazakallah Khair.___ MAY ALLAH GUIDE YOU TO THE STRAIGHT PATH, AND GUIDE YOU TO THAT WHICH PLEASES HIM, Ameen.

What you eat The slave of Hadhrat Abu Bakr(rahiyallahu anhu) us ed to work and bring something for his master to eat. Hadhrat Abu Bakr(rahiyallahu anhu) used to enquire about the source before consuming it. If it was acceptable, he would consume it, otherwise not. One day, as usual, the slave brought something and Hadhrat Abu Bakr(rahiyallahu anhu) ate it without enquiring about it. The slave asked in surprise: "Today you are ate without enquiring?" Hadhrat Abu Bakr(rahiyallahu anhu) said, " I am very hungry, hence I forgot. Where did you acquire this from ?" The slave replied, "I was a soothsayer during the times of ignorance and someone benefited from my services. He promised to compensate me. Today, by coincidence I passed by his place where he was having a walimah and he gave me some of that food." Hadhrat Abu Bakr(rahiyallahu anhu)'s complexion changed and he was deeply perturbed that haraam food had entered his stomach, whereas Rasulullah(sallal...

Assalamu Alaikuna The Location of Paradise Question : If the width of Paradise is the width of the heavens and earth. then where is it in the creation, which is filled by the heavens and the earth? Answer: Before answering this question, we must preface it by saying whatever is in the Book of Allah and what has been authentically reported from the Messenger of Allah sallallahu alayhe was salaam is the truth and it is not possible that it contradicts the existent reality, for the existent tangible reality is true and it is impossible to doubt it. What is confirmed by the Quran and sunnah is ( also ) the truth, which is not possible to doubt, nor is it possible for two truths to contradict each other in a way that make it impossible to reconcile them both. It is confirmed by the Quran that the breadth of Paradise is as the breadth of the heaven and the earth; and in another verse : عَرْضُهَا السَّمَاوَاتُ وَالأَرْضُ "...as wide as the heavens and the earth ." [ Aal Imran 3:133...

Common Errors in Prayer That MUST Be Avoided:- 1. Reciting Surah-al-Fatiha fast without pausing after each verse.The Prophet Sallaalahu alaihi wa sallam used to pause after each verse of this surah. (Abu Dawood) 2. Sticking the arms to the sides of the body, in rukoo' or sujood, and sticking the belly to the thighs in sujood.The Messenger of Allah Sallaalhu alaihi wasallam said:"Let not one of you support himself on his forearms (in sujood ) like the dog.Let him rest on his palms and keep his elbows away from his body." ( Sahih Muslim) The Messenger of Allah Sallaalhu alaihi wasallam used to keep his arms away from his body during rukoo' and sujood that the whiteness of his armpits could be seen ( Sahih Muslim). 3. Gazing upward during prayer. This may cause loss of concentration. We are commanded to lower our gaze, and look at the point at which the head rests during sujood.The Prophet Sallaalhu alaihi wasallam warned: "Let those who raise their gaze ...

Why should I study? Many years ago in Uzbekistan, a baby boy was born blind. His Mother, the strong Mu'minah that she was, did not lose sight of He who had the Power to cure him. She prayed and prayed for her sons sight. And within a few years the boy regained his eyes. She was widowed, the boy an orphan. She traveled with him to Makkah so that he could receive an Islamic Education. She arranged that he attend the circles of the scholars, and in those circles, he began excelling in the science of Hadith. He traveled to distant villages in search of the most authentic sayings of Rasul Allah (pbuh). He would pray two raka'at before accepting a hadith. His mother named him: Muhammad ibn Isma'il. And many of us know him today by the book he compiled, the book that stands after the Quran in authenticity: Saheeh Al-Imam Al-Bukhari! In another land, in another time, chilly Baghdad winds would wake up another boy. Much before Fajr, his mother would bundle him in warm shawls and esc...

Traffic Stop The tired-looking man in well-worn clothes stood at the intersection wearing a large sign that read, "Have family, will work for food." I had passed him many times as I made my way around town, yet somehow I never got around to offering help to this fellow traveler as I went about my work. One day as I was going past the same intersection, I saw him once again steadfastly standing there. The traffic had stopped for a red light, and in the lane to my left a woman quickly got out of her car with two full bags of groceries, which she promptly handed to the man. They exchanged a few words before the light changed, and she jumped back in her car and drove away. The man's face lit up, his weariness lifted by this unknown woman's kindness. Carefully hugging the groceries, he slowly walked away from the crossroad; his radiant smile said it all. In a fraction of a moment's time, his day had changed -- and hers, and mine, and everyone else who sat in their car...

Dear son/daughter... The day that you see me old, have patience and try to understand me. If I get dirty when eating.....if I can not dress.....have patience. Remember the hours I spent teaching it to you. If, when I speak to you, I repeat the same things a thousand and one times.....do not interrupt me.....listen to me. When you were small, I had to read to you a thousand and one times the same story until you got to sleep...... When I do not want to have a shower, neither shame me nor scold me.... Remember when I had to chase you with a thousand excuses I invented, so that you would want to bath....... When you see my ignorance on new technologies. give me the necessary time and not look at me with your mocking smile...... I taught you how to do so many things.....to eat good, to dress well......to confront life....... When at some moment I lose my memory or the thread of our conversation. let me have the necessary time to remember....and if I cannot do it, do not become nervous.......

Problems Youth Face in Getting Married Nowadays By Fayrouz Fahmy Cairo, Egypt The Sanctity of Marriage Allah Almighty created Adam and Hawwa (Eve), and this is mentioned in the noble Qur'an: [ It is He Who has created you from a single person (Adam), and (then) He has created from him his wife [Hawwa (Eve)], in order that he might enjoy the pleasure of living with her ] (Al-A'raf 7:189). They complete each other. Due to the sanctity of the joining of man and woman, Allah refers to marriage in the Qur'an (An-Nisaa, 4:21) as a mithaq (Arabic for "solemn covenant or agreement between husband and wife"). Unfortunately, this sacred bond suffers a lot these days. Beginning of the Journey Economic problems play a decisive role in putting obstacles in the way of young people getting married these days. In a country with a high unemployment rate, such as Egypt, it is hard for a young man to find a job immediately after graduating. It might take him years before his sal...
