As Salamu Alaikum wa Rahmatullahi wa Barakatuh, Today we are discussing a subject which is going to be a reminder for all of us. May Allah swt help us to speak only which benefits us in this world and aakhirah. Let's be mindful of the words we utter and refrain from finding faults in others Talking too much is a personality defect stemming from mental and spiritual imbalance. Use precise words that do not confuse the listener’s mind, and do not use more words than necessary to convey the intended message. Indeed, using many words may even be harmful, for the more words you use, the greater the chance of contradiction, which will confuse the listener even more. This development will not benefit the listener; on the contrary, it will work to his or her detriment. Reasonable people prefer to let those people, whose words might be of more benefit to the audience, speak. If perfected individuals whose minds are saturated with science and whose souls are satisfied with Divine spiritua

Yes, its hard, especially when you are constantly bombarded with obscene images: that hot, scantily clad guy or gal in the magazine luring you; or the persistent emphasis on sex in the movies or the pervasive links to pornography while you may simply be checking your e-mail. How can you protect yourself from all of this? Whats Wrong With A Lustful Gaze ? Many of us who are used to watching Sinbad or Temptation Island, or are addicted to Bollywood movies, or enjoy the company of people of opposite gender, may wonder whats wrong with lustfully staring at the attractive features of the opposite gender? Perhaps one saying of our beloved Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) sums it all: “The furtive glance is one of the poisoned arrows of Shaytan, on him be God's curse. Whoever forsakes it for the fear of Allah, will receive from Him (Great and Gracious is He) a faith, the sweetness of which he will find within his heart.” (al-Haakim.) Therefore, a secret lustful look at a person

Moulana Mohammed Aslam Upto this day we had only one impression of Islam…..the bright Islam, the quintessence of enlightenment, a bringer of radiance; a herald of glowing teachings from beliefs to worship, from interactions to mannerisms; when its wisdom is followed, the light spreads everywhere……in your outer self, in your inner self; in the surroundings, in your home. Whoever clasps it to their breast will be encircled by a halo of light. If a hundred year old kafir embraces it, the darkness of kufr leaves him to be replaced by a gentle glow……but…..a few days back it was exposed that Islam is of two types: the illuminated Islam and the dark Islam, the modern Islam and the backward Islam! This revelation was made not by any common man but by the President of Pakistan himself! In a BBC program aired the view that the idea of confining women to their houses was absolutely incorrect. He thought that the women staying inside their homes and those wearing the veil outside reflect the &quo

Author :Asma bint Shameem Bismillah Walhamdulillah Was Salaatu Was Salaam 'ala Rasulillah As-Salaam Alaikum Wa-Rahmatullahi Wa-Barakatuhu The society we live in is centered around Having Fun. The whole purpose of life seems to be just that. Everything is supposed to be "Entertainment, Entertainment, Entertainment" . All our energies are spent gaining the "pleasures" of this life. And although, seeking pleasure in a Halaal way is absolutely allowed, yet that is NOT the purpose of our creation. Rather, to worship Allaah while enjoying the blessings He gave us in ways that are pleasing to Him. “And I (Allaah) created not the jinn and mankind except that they should worship Me (Alone)”[al-Dhaariyaat: 56] Nowadays, although the ummah needs to increase the love between its individual members and to relieve itself of boredom, we have gone too far with regard to relaxation, laughter and jokes. This has become a habit which fills our gatherings and wastes our time, so

Bismillah Walhamdulillah Was Salaatu Was Salaam 'ala Rasulillah As-Salaam Alaikum Wa-Rahmatullahi Wa-Barakatuhu Problems and Solutions Book by Sheikh Muhammed Salih Al-Munajjid We have received so many questions about this problem that we know it is crying out for a solution. So many people are wasting so much time in staying up late at night. But the truth of the matter is that this phenomenon is not homogenous. There are three kinds of staying up late: (1) Staying up late to worship Allaah. This is the worthy kind of staying up. It includes staying up for reasons that are of benefit to the Muslims in general, such as engaging in jihaad and guarding the borders of Islam, as well as staying up to pray (qiyaam al-layl) and read Quraan. Allaah says (interpretation of the meaning): “They used to sleep but little by night [invoking their Lord and praying, with fear and hope].” [al-Dhaariyaat 51:17]. This kind of staying up is entirely worthy, so long as it does not lead to the negle

Bismillah Hir Rahmaan Nir raheem Assalamu alaykum wa rahmatuallahi wa barakatuhu 100 Authentic Sunan! 100 Established Authentic Sunan! 1. Sleeping on Wudu The Prophet, sallallahu ‘alayhi wa salam told al-Baraa` bin ‘Aazib, radiallahu ‘anh, If you go to your bed, then do your wudoo` (ablution) as you would do it for prayer, then lie on your right” [Agreed upon, No. 6311.] 2. Reading Surat al-Ikhlas, al-Falaq and an-Nas before sleeping: From ‘Aishah radiallahu ‘anha, the Messenger, sallallahu ‘alayhi wa salam used to recite “Qul huwallahu ahad”, “Qul a’oothu birrabilfalaq” and “Qul a’oothu birrabinnaas” every night when he went to sleep, then wiped his face and whatever he was able from his body, beginning with his head and face, and what faces him from his body, three times”.

Doing takbeer and tasbeeh when going to sleep: ‘Ali, radiallahu ‘anh narrates that the Messenger of Allah, sallallahu ‘alayhi wa salam said when Fatimah asked him for a servant, “Shal

The Daar of Islamic Heritage Volume 12 Issue 2 Dhul- Hijjah 1424 (February 2004) To understand the desired meaning of any word mentioned in the Quran or Sunnah, one must first know its meaning in the Arabic language. After that, one must study the different uses of this word in various Islamic texts. It is impermissible to use a meaning of any word, relating to Shari’ah (Islamic law), according to any time frame, except the time of revelation. “Eman” is one of these words that must be interpreted exactly the way Allah and His Messenger intended. Explaining words according to their meanings at the time of their revelation provides us with their desired meanings according to Islamic terminology. When one studies the uses of the word “Eman,” he finds that there are two basic meanings for it: faith and acceptance, and adherence and implementation. The first meaning is supported by numerous evidences. Prophet Ibrahim asked Allah if he could witness how He brings the dead to life. Allah said

Why do we read Quran, even if we can't understand a single Arabic word???? This is a beautiful story. An old American Muslim lived on a farm in the mountains of eastern Kentucky with his young grandson. Each morning Grandpa was up early sitting at the kitchen table reading his Quran. His grandson wanted to be just like him and tried to imitate him in every way he could. One day the grandson asked, "Grandpa! I try to read the Quran just like you but I don't understand it, and what I do understand I forget as soon as I close the book. What good does reading the Qur'an do?" The Grandfather quietly turned from putting coal in the stove and replied, "Take this coal basket down to the river and bring me back a basket of water. The boy did as he was told, but all the water leaked out before he got back to the house. The grandfather laughed and said, "You'll have to move a little faster next time," and sent him back to the river with the basket to tr

Means of Eliminating Fabrication Some of the means of eliminating fabrication include: 1. Examining the character of the narrator. In order to be considered reliable, Hadith transmitters must possess personal integrity and must be able to provide flawless chains of transmission for their hadiths. 2. Making a textual comparison. This method was applied to make cross comparisons between the hadiths, for example, comparing the hadiths of different students of the same scholar. 3. Comparing the statements of a single scholar at different times. This method of criticism was applied to check whether the transmitter added something to the hadith or if it remained the same as he transmitted it before. 4. Comparing written documents with a hadith transmitted from memory. According to the Hadith scholars, the information gained from books is more authentic and accurate than what is based on one's memory. 5. Comparing the hadith with related verses of the Quran and other hadiths.
