If you don't understand, ask!!!

Yahya Ibn Khaleed  (Rahimahu Allah) said: 

" Do not respond to anyone until you have understood their words, for that will cause you  to respond to what they have not said , and thus confirm your own ignorance. Rather you must understand  his speech properly. So when you understand him, then respond. And do not rush to answer before asking for clarity . And do not be shy to seek clarity when you do not understand . for verily answering before understanding is sheer idiocy! So if you do not know before asking , then ask!! Then it will come to you  Your questioning and seeking clarity is more praiseworthy and better for you then being silent and incapable of expressing yourself!!"

When the child is ready for the Deen..?

Question- When should I start teaching my children the religion?

Answer- Teaching the childrens starts when they reach teh age of distinction ( and separation) ; so you begin the teaching of the Islamic unbringing and cultivation.
According to his (Salla Allahuy Alayhi wa sallam) statement:

"Command your children to perform salaat when they reach the age of seven , and punish them (if they don't perform it) when they reach the age of ten , and separate them in the sleeping places " [1]

So when the child attains the age of distinction (separation) thus then, it is an order on the parent to teach them and to cultivate them upon good ; by teaching them the Quran and what is easy from the hadeeth.
And to teach them the rulings of the shariah; which are appropriate ( and are effective) for the age of this child. Like teaching them how to perform wudhoo (ablution) and how to perform salaat , and to teach them the adhkaar (remembrances) when wanting to sleep , and the adhkaar of when waking up , and adhkaar of during eating and drinking. Because when they reach the age of distinction , they start to know and realize what they are being taught , and what are the obligations of them to perform, and what are the things that are prohibited.
Al also ( at this age) they are to be forbidden  from things which are not appropriate to do , and to make it clear to them that these things are not permissible for them to do. Like telling lies, and back biting and like this.
So he ( the parent) do this,  until he cultivates them upon goodness and to upbring them on avoiding evil, from this young age.

And this is a very important matter , in which some of the people have forgotten (and overlooked its importance) concerning their children.
Verily most of the people are not keen and enthusiastic in the issues of commanding their children , nor do they show and present to them the sound Islaamic mannerism.
And they leave them and neglected them. They don't command them to perform salat , nor do they upbring and show them the righteous actions.
And rather they leave them in this state of ignorance and this state of doing acts which are not good ; and (they leave them) to mingle with the evil people , and to wander and roam the streets ; and they overlook and disregard teaching them.

And other matters like these, from the matters which are negatively effecting most of the Muslim youths , because of the negligence of their fathers.

And they , (the parents) are accountable for them ; because Allaah has put on them the accountability regarding their children.
He (Salla Allahu alayhi wa sallam) said:

"Command your children to perform salaat when they reach the age of seven , and punish them (if they don't perform it) when they reach the age of ten , and separate them in the sleeping places " [1]

So this is a command and a responsibility on the fathers.

So the one who does not command his children with salaat ; he becomes a person who has opposed the Prophet (Sala Allaahu 'alayhi wa sallam) , and hence he has fallen into a sin.
And also he has left off doing something that is obligatory upon him ,something which the Prophet ( salla Allaahu 'alayhi wa sallam) has made obligatory.

And he ( Salla Allahu alayhi wa sallam) has also said:

 "Each one of you is a shepherd , and all of you are responsible for their own flock (people) " [2]

And some fathers, and it is sad and sorrowful, have become carried away and too busy in the affairs of the worldy life.
And they pay no attention to their children , nor do they keep away any time specifically for their children.
Rather all of their time is all for the affairs of the world.

And this is a great danger which is widespread in the muslim lands. And it has disadvantaged and worsened the upbringing of their children.

Thus they have become , people who are neither good in the religion nor in the worldy life .

And there is no might nor change except by Allaah , The most High , The Most Supreme.

Best and worst

Asmaa' Bint Yazid (Radia Allahu anha) informed that the Prophet (Salla Allahu alayhi wa sallam) said :
- I tell you those are the best for you?
They said: yes
He (salla Allahu alayhi wa sallam) said:
-Those who remember you Allah when you see them.
He continued:
-Do you want me to tell you about the worst of you?
They said: Of course
He (Salla Allahu alayhi wa sallam) said:
-Those who go around with nameemah. They make enmity among friends and looking for trouble the innocent.

The bad habit

 

"Repel the thought , for if you don't , it becomes an idea. So repel the idea ; for if you don't it will become a desire. So fight against that (desire) for if you don't it will become a determination and a passion. And if you don't repel that, it will become an action. And if you don't replace  it with its opposite , it will become a constant habit . So at that point , it will be difficult for you to change it."

Looking with the heart

Abdur Rahmaan Ibn 'Abdullah al Basri reported that a man said to Sufyaan : "Advise me" Sufyaan said: "Work for this world in proportion to the time you will stay in it (which does not amount to many years) and work for the Hereafter in proportion to the time you will stay in it (for eternity) and Peace be upon You.

Yousuf Ibn Asbaat reported that he heard Sufyaan Ath-Thauree say: " The following three are from patience : Do not speak about a calamity that has befallen you ; do not speak about your pain; and do not praise yourself."

Advise your friends ....

Abu Ad- Dardaa (Radia Allahu anhu) said:

"It is better to advise your friend  than to severe relations with him , for no one can take the place of your friend , if you lose him . Be generous and lenient with your friend. And do not allow an envious person to come between you and him , for in this case , your friend might die tomorrow and you grieve for him. However  how could you grieve after he dies , when you have shunned him, when he was still alive?"

The mortal plan of shaytaan

Shaykhul Islam Ath Thaani Ibn ul Qayyim (Rahimahu Allah) said:

" And among his repertoire of plans and ploys - of  Iblis - Is that he invites the servant of Allah , with his good character, joy and happiness to types of sins and vices.
As consequently he found him and greets him (to the sunni) so that does not allow him rescued from his evil. Except his demonstration of disgust , giving  an angry look and turning away from him.

Then, the enemy will act kindly towards him, greeting him with happiness, with a radiant face and beautiful words.

Then, will join him, and will have a strong desire to save from their clutches , however he will be unable to do it.

As a result , the enemy (Iblis), will keep moving between them ( the deviant, the innovator that works for shaytaan , the servant sunni) until he gets his desired goal.

Finally, he enters the servant with his plots and through the good character and a shiny face.

For this reason, "the doctors of the heart" have advised us to stay away from the people of the innovations , not to send them the greetings of Salam, and happy, shining faces or even meet them (at all) unless it is with dinginess and severity!!!!

The early married and knowledge

Is getting married at an early age diverts from gaining knowledge ?


As for saying that getting married at an early age diverts from gaining knowledge and from studying , this is not the case. Rather , the opposite of this is correct because tranquility , peace of mind, and pleasure never cease to be obtained through marriage. These things help the student to reach his goal because , he has peace of mind and his thoughts are not cluttered due to discomfort and this helps him study.


Now in the other hand abstaining from marriage in reality blocks whatever knowledge he wants to attain, because it is not possible to acquire knowledge in a state of confusion and anxiety. However ,if he gets married, his mind is at rest and his soul is at ease. He gets a house to take as a shelter and a wife who relaxes and helps him. These things help him to attain knowledge.


If Allah makes it easy for the student to pursue knowledge. Matrimony does not block the path to knowledge as some believe. for that reason, having children is an enormous blessing in this life and in the next.

The balance of everything

It is reported that Wahb ben Munabbih (Rahimahu Allah) said:

" A scholar once asked another grater that him in knowledge, How much should I build? He replied : As much as shelters you from the sun and the rain. He asked: How much food should I eat? He replied: More than what keeps you hungry and less that what makes you full. He asked: How much should I wear? He replied:as the Messiah (Jesus) did.He asked: How much should I laugh? He replied: As much as appears in your face but does not make audible your voice. He asked: How much should I cry? He replied:Never tire from crying out of the fear of Allah.He asked :How much should I hide my deeds? He replied :Until people think you had not done a good deed. He asked: How much should I make public my deeds? He replied as much as will let the keen follow your example but not have the people talk about you."

Wahb said: "Everything has two ends. If you grab one end , the other will slant , but if you take the middle , both ends will balance. Stick to the balanced middle in the all affairs."

From who you learn your religion ?

Based of Ibn Sireen's words " Look at whom you learn your religion from" , we learn that people who put themselves forward to teach aren't all on the same level in knowledge and information.

Ibn Abdul Bar said: Only the scholars are Ahul Athar. They understand the religion. The scholars excel by perfecting their knowledge, character and their understanding.

Accordingly, everyone who puts himself forward to teach isn't worthy to be called a scholar. There are levels for people who appoint themselves as teachers or involve themselves in Dawah. The levels are as follow:

1. Scholars who are Mujtahid. They are legists who can formulate independent decisions in legal matters based interpretation and application of the Usul in all subjects of the Deen. This is the category of scholars the people ask for verdicts about their affairs.
2. Scholars who are Mujtahid. However they haven't quite reached the level to form independent decisions in all areas of the religion.
3. Students of knowledge who aren't scholars.
4. The general people who learn a few things. After learning these few issues they put themselves forward to speak and give Da'wah.
5. People who knowledge can never be gained from.

People are required to be familiar with these five categories of teachers; and distinguish between them. Additionally we - the Muslim community should be aware , that everybody who teach isn't suitable for issuing our fatawa.

Imam Ash-Shaf'i said: The only person it's permissible for to give verdicts about islamic issues is some one well grounded in the Quran. He must know the abrogated and verses that abrogate , and the Muhkam and Mutashabih verses of the Quran. Its essential that the person must know the difference between the Mekkan  and Madeenan verses. Moreover he must know why these verses were revealed and their intended meaning.

After he has all met all those conditions he must knowledgeable in Hadeeth the same way he is about the Quran: He must be an expert in arabic , poetry, and everything else related to Quranic and Islamic sciences. He uses all  this knowledge with fairness and refrains himself from being too talkative.

Once the scholar's done this he looks and reviews the different issues throughout  the major cities in the world. Now he has the genius. And when he has reached this level, he can know issues verdicts about what's Haraam and Halal. Otherwise he doesn't issue religious rulings and he only speaks about the issues he knows.

Sufyan Ath Thawree said: Take the rulings about what's halal and haraam from scholars famous for their knowledge , or from the mashaykah (person of higher learning)

Malik said: " A man told me that he visited Rab'eeh and asked him why he was crying? The man told Rab'eeh that his crying frightened him , so he asked has a calamity befallen you? Rab'eeh said, no, but religious verdicts are sought from people who haven't  any knowledge. And this is a burning issue within Islam.

Abu Usamah said, "If you find a  man who diligently seeks knowledge and sits with the people of knowledge , then record what he says".

Shaykh Al Fawzan said, "It is not possible, for a person to be a caller to Allah's religion until he has knowledge . If he is ignorant he doesn't have the ability to call to Islam. And if he involves himself in Dawa'h , he will wrong more times that he is  correct .

The conditions for a caller to Islam-Da'ee:
He must have knowledge before he begins to call others to Islam and teach. Allah says: "This is my way; I invite unto Allah- (Islamic Monotheism) with sure knowldege" Yusef, 108.

Nonetheless, there are some things that the layman can teach i.e. how to pray, prevent others from abandoning the congregation , teach his family , and order his children to pray. The layman and student know these issues. Furthermore there are other issues with require understanding. Issues like : Halal and haraam and Tawheed and Shik. These kinds of issues require knowledge.

How to advise a sister that show her beauty ? (Dawah between sisters)

How should the Muslim woman that is daa'iyah ( sister that call to Islam) to advise Muslim women who show their beauty?
"....She advises, telling her sisters in Islam "You must avoid meddle with men. you must avoid going uncovered , and you must be diligent in taking proper head cover when you meet men in front ,of which is not permissible to be exposed in front of them.
Allah The All-mighty says:

"When you ask them an object do it from behind a curtain. It is purer for your hearts and for theirs" (Al-Ahzaab: 53)

And the Most-High also says:

" And do not display their beauty except in the presence of their husbands" (An-Nur:31)

So She brings the verses and narrations that are appropriate and contain the clarification of what Allah has commanded. Also warns what is opposed to the legislation pure and clear to their sisters in Islam which is mandatory  for all of us, while warning of what  Allah has forbbiden.

And we must cooperate in righteousness and piety and the defense of truth ,  persevering patiently."

Damages of the hairdresser, part 2: The Muslim woman revealed

Damages of to go to the hairdresser:
Second damage:
The elimination of women's outerwear in a place other than their home without a legislated right!
Many women today take off their clothes in places that are not used to it. They are not safe from (grief) fitnah and are not advised to doubtful matters , like many places, such as looker rooms, which play a larger role in the spread of fashion for women or places such as hairdressing or what are popularly called today for the leisure as fitness centers.
The Prophet said:

"There is no woman that  puts off her clothes in a place other than her house, except that she tears the veil between her and Allah."

Looking at the statement of the Messenger , my Muslim sister: "...that she tears the veil between her and Allah." This exposure occurs when the outer garments are removed, so what about the one that takes off her clothes because it establishes the immorality and  corruption in places like attending beauty salons? Modesty and their preservation is what's between Muslim women and their Lord. He certainly covers a Muslim woman with modesty as He is noble and refined . But He does not divulde what is between Him and her.
Therefore, this Prophetic narration warns Muslim women attending places of uncertainty and suspicion of a unique look that is discover and avoid the causes of the calamity from another aspect.

Damages of the hairdresser , part 1: "Time is short and there is lots to learn"

The first damage of to go to the hairdresser:
The loss of time in studying of the Muslim women , because of the hairdresser and the aesthetic.
The time for the mulim woman is the most precious thing she has. If she wasted it doing this , then she has lost one of the most important things she had.
The Messenger of Allah (Salla Allahu alayhi wa sallam) said:

"Take advantage of five matters before five other matters..(until the declaration)...and your free time before you become busy."

From the harmful materials have begun to spread rapidly in these times , either due to the natural inclination of women or developments of the modern age , is the study of the aesthetics.
Among the meanings of embellishment that enter in this topic are the things that are considered base of the beauty and are distinguised as "feminine" for this reason, we see their instructions in relation to herown embellishment , as in method one has the possibility to obtain the admiration of others.
Half and hour spent every afternoon in the skincare and fifteen minutes on the tabs.Similarly, the time spent in the fingernails and lost again in addressing the hands and feet. The following are training to trim the waist , relaxation exercises and steam -rooms, among the things that consume women's time and intellect.
They have written several books oriented towerd women , in addition to catalogs that contain photos of Muslim women explaining how they can beautify  as. They explain how to cut hair like them, fashionable clothing and how she can wear revealing clothes like them.
All this for women is the latest in fashion, progress and culture,
MAY ALLAH ERASE THEIR CULTURE !!!

Nasheeha for the Muslimah

The responsability of the Muslim woman:

So today Muslim women must fear Allah regarding themselves and their societies. Likewise the modern woman, and first of all , the Muslim women must focus on raising their children at home , as they will be questioned about the children who are under heir care and custody.
They have to raise their daughters to have good manners. Fair and proper manners , to cover and be modest. The Prophet (Salla Allahu alayhi wa sallam) said: " Each of you is a shepard, and each of you are responsible for his flock. A woman is a shepard of her husband's house and she is responsible for looking after it".
So a woman should raise her children , so straight, as all children living  covered under their custody , she is responsible for them.

The pillars of the Kufr

" The pillars of Kufr (i.e. disbelief and disobedience) are four:

1. Kibr, i.e. arrogance , which prevents him from submission (to the command of Allah).
2. Hasad, i.e. jealousy , which prevents him from accepting advice and giving it.
3. Ghadab, i.e. anger, which preventes him from being just.
4. Sha'wah, i.e. lowly desiers, which prevents him from devoting himself totally to worship.

Hence if the pillar of arrogance is removed, then it becomes easy to submit , and if the pillar of jealousy is removed then it becomes easy for him to accept nasheehah (i.e. advice) and to give advice. If the pillar of anger is removed tehn it becomes easy for him to be just and humble himself and if the pillar of lowly desires is removed then it becomes easy for him to be patient , chaste and devote himself to worship. Every imprudent characteristic derives from these four. And when these characteristics settle in his heart they will cause him to see falsehood as truth and to see truth as falsehood. To see Ma'roof (i.e. good) as Munkar (i.e. evil) and evil as good, and it brings him closer to the life of this world and pushes the Hererafter further from him.

Uprooting strong and power mountains from their places is easier that removing these four characteristics from the heart of an individual who is tested with them. This proves specially true when these characteristics become firmly rooted and embedded in an individual to the point they become second nature , for when an individual reaches this point it is almost impossible for him to do any good deeds , nor would he purify himself with them if he were to perform any acts of good. The more he strives  diligently to perform acts of good the more his actions are corrupted by these four characteristics.

If you reflect on the disbelief of the past nations , you will find that it derived from one of these four pillars, and it was due to one of these four that they were punish. However the severity of the punishment was dependant of the degree and extent of these pillars with those nations. So, whoever adorns himself with these pillars then he subjects himself to all types of consequences , in the life of this world and in the Hereafter. And whoever avoids them distances himself from all types of evil , because these characteristics prevent him from  Inqiyad (i.e. submission), Ikhlas (i.e. sincerity), tawbah (i.e.repentance), accepting the truth, giving advice to the Muslims and humbling himself to Allah and to His creation.

These characteristics emerge due to the slave's ignorance of his Lord, and his ignorance of his own selfworth or value. If he truly knew his Lord with all of His lofty characteristics and was truly aware of his own-short comings and deficiencies , he would not have a reason to be arrogant nor seek retribution for himself. Nor would he be jealous of any one because of what Allah has given them, because in reality, jealousy is a type of enmity or hostility towards Allah, primarily because the slave hates the fact that Allah has bestowed upon one of his servants a particular blessing and he ardently desires that this blessing be taken away from him. So he actually oppose and contests the decree of Allah and he deems the blessing of Allah to His slave to be unjust and dislikes for him what Allah loves for him. And it was because of this characteristics that Iblis become the enemy of Allah, i.e. his arrogance and jealousy.

Hence to reply these two hideous and evil characteristics with sound knowledge of Allah and His uniqueness and being pleased with Him as your Lord and turning towards Him for assistance in all of his affairs , and replacing anger with true knowledge of himself and his value, and the fact, that he does not have the right to get angry and seek retribution for himself over the pleasure of his Lord and expressing anger towards his Lord, who originated him.

And the greatest thing which would assist him in ridding himself of this characteristic is to condition himself to get angry for the pleasure of Allah , and to be pleased with the pleasure of Allah. And every time he gets angry or is pleased for the pleasure of Allah then anger and pleasure for other that Him will be obliterated , and the opposite is the same.

However the cure for his lowly desires sound knowledge and understanding that his obedience to his lowly desires is the greatest reason on hindrance for him attaining satisfation , and his abstaining from these lowly desires is the greatest reason and means by which he can attain satisfation. so every time he sets out to attain satisfaction by following his lowly desires he actually pushes himself further away from achieving this satisfaction , and the more he avoids his lowly desires , the closer he is to attaining the satisfaction he is looking for in the most complete manner.

So Ghadab (i.e. anger) is like a predator , the minute you turn your attention away from it , it will eat you alive.
And shah'wah (i.e. lowly desires) is like fire the moment he ignites him, it will begin to burn him alive.
And Kibr (i.e. arrogance) is like arguing with a king about his possesion , either he will kill you because of this , or just deprive you of it.
And Hasad (i.e. jealousy) is like showing enmity and hatred towards someone who is more powerful that you.


The one who can control his lowly desires and his anger will remove the Shaytaan from his midst. And the he whose lowly desires and anger overtakes him deprives himself from the shade and protection of Allah.

The relation between Taqwa and knowledge

Oh man! Knowledge does not benefict , while one  do not perfect his actions.

 Knowledge is the beauty and Taqwa is its ornament.

Those with Taqwa they are always preoccupied with his knowledge.

The test of Allah, oh keeper of knowledge is great.

Neither conspire nor plotting concerning it are useless.

Adquire knowledge and make as many facts as posible.

And do not let that vain hobbies and argumentation distract you.

Always make as your goal to benefict people.

And beware, be careful that the fatigue and the tiredness reach you.

Calls to your brother gently when he makes a mistake.

Since the knowledge is loving with those who are overcome by the errors.

And if you are among the people who have no religious moral,

then order them to do good when they act ignorantly.

And if they disobey you, then remind them without angry.

And be patient, be strong in patience and do not let their actions concern you,

since each goat is tied to his two feet.

Be patient, whether they are fair or oppressive.
