Shahadah in Islam

Some women going out wearing perfume and makeup, and without veils. This is a problem which is widespread, and many people take this matter lightly. Allaah is the One Whose help we seek. Some women – may Allaah guide them – even dress up in their finest clothes and put on the best perfume when they go to the mosque to pray Taraaweeh or go to the Eid prayers, etc. The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said: “Any woman who puts on perfume and passes by people so that they can smell her fragrance, is an adulteress.” Narrated by al-Nasaa’i, 5126; al-Tirmidhi, 2783; classed as hasan by al-Albaani in Saheeh al-Targheeb wa’l-Tarheeb, 2019.

Reminder Shaykhul Islaam Ibn Qayyim al-Jawziyyah Reference: Fawaa`id ul Fawaa`id of Ibn ul Qayim - Page 384 There are ten things you will never find benefit in: The First: Knowledge which is void of action. The Second: Actions which are void of sincerity to Allah, and void of exemplification of the Sunnah. (Note: These two conditions constitute the act being accepted by Allah i.e. Ikhlaas and Ittiba`a) The Third: Wealth which is not spent in the way of Allah, so the one who exhausted all of his energy amassing it will not benefit from it in this life, nor will he see the fruits of it in the hereafter.

(i.e. unconditional) The Seventh: Time which is void of benefit and the individual does not take advantage of it to do actions which would bring him closer to Allah. The Eigh...

The Importance Of Marrying A Righteous Spouse By Shaykhah Umm 'Abdillaah al-Waadi'iyyah (daughter of Shaykh Muqbil) Taken from Naseehatee lin Nisa Imam al-Bukhaaree (rahimullah) stated (9/132): It has been relayed to us by Musaddid that Yahya relayed to us, on 'Ubaydallaah that he said: Sa'eed bin Abee Sa'eed relayed to me, on his father, on the authority of Aboo Hurayrah (radiyallaahu anhu) on the Prophet, (sallallaahu alayhi wa sallam) that he said: "A woman is married for four (reasons): For her wealth, for her lineage, and for her beauty, so choose the one who possesses the Deen (religion) and you will be successful." [And related by Muslim (2/1086)] The meaning of the Hadeeth: The people choose wives for various reasons, and they are of four types: 1 – From them are those who strive for the rich and wealthy. 2 – From them are those who strive for good lineage and it is nobility. 3 – From them are those who strive for beauty. 4 – And from them are thos...

Hijaab is not a piece of cloth on your head. It's a Way of Life! By Asma bint Shameem Just because some of the sisters have their head covered, they think that the requirement of Hijaab is fulfilled. They don't realize that wearing a Hijaab requires much more than just covering your head. Actually, if you think about it, Hijaab is the way you talk…. .the way you walk….the very way you carry yourself. In fact, Hijaab is an attitude in itself. Its a whole way of life. Allaah says: 'And say to the believing women to lower their gazes, and to guard their private parts, and not to display their beauty (zeenah) except what is apparent of it, and to extend their head coverings (khimars) to cover their bosoms (jaybs), and not to display their beauty except to their husbands, or their fathers, or their husband's fathers, or their sons, or their husband's sons, or their brothers, or their brothers' sons, or their sisters' sons, or their womenfolk, or w...

As salaamu alaikum wa rahmatullahi wa barakaatuh One who ridicules those who wear the proper hijab Question: What is the ruling concerning one who ridicules those who wear the proper hijab and cover their faces and hands? Response: Whoever ridicules a Muslim woman or man for sticking to and applying the teachings of Islam is a disbeliever. This is regardless of whether it is concerning woman's hijab or any other matter of the Shariah. This is based on the following narration from ibn Umar: At a gathering during the Battle of Tabuk, one man said, "I have not seen anyone like our Quranic readers who is more desirous of food, more lying in speech and more cowardly when meeting the enemy." A man said, "You have lied and you are a liar. I shall definitely tell the Messenger of Allah (Sallallaahu Álayhi Wasallam) about that." That news was conveyed to the Messenger of Allah and the Quran was revealed. Abdullah ibn Umar added, "I saw the man holding on to the bag ...
