This is the elaboration (tafṣīl) which I see to be most correct and Allāh knows best.
Although we love that Muslims remain distinct from the disbelievers (in line with the saying of the Prophet ﷺ)
((لا تراءى نارهما))
“Their fires should not be visible to one another.”
And we love for our brothers&sisters (in Islām) to migrate to us, but where (will they go)? If ten people come to you, you hardly find anyone to take care of their affairs, so what if a whole nation performs Hijrah?! And then we make…
Sheikh ’Abdulḥamīd Az-Zu’kari ḥafidhahullāh said:
“If a Muhājir from Non-Muslim lands wants to return (to the non-Muslim land he migrated from) for a worldly or religious interest (Maṣlaḥah) which he is in need of, he is allowed to return and remain therein for as long as is necessary in order to fulfil his need; be it one week, ten days, twenty days, more or less. Then once the need for which he returned is…
والاختيار للرجل أن يتصدقَ بالفضلِ من ماله، ويستبقي لنفسه قوتاً لما يخاف عليه من فتنة الفقر، وربما يلحقه الندم على ما فعل، فيبطل به أجره، ويبقى كلاً على الناسِ، ولم يُنْكِر النبيُّ ﷺ على أبي بكرٍ خُرُو
“The preferred approach is for a man to spend in charity from what is surplus to his wealth and to save for himself provision for fear of being trialled with poverty, because he may be afflicted with regret for what he did, SO MUCH SO HIS REWARD WILL BE NULLIFIED and he becomes a burden upon the people. Moreover, the Prophet ﷺ did not reprimand Abū Bakr for giving away all his money due to what he knew of him in…
BENEFIT 36: Beware of making long term decisions at the peak of Ēmān
Ēmān increases and decreases. It increases with good, righteous deeds and decreases with disobedience. This is one of the fundamental creeds of Ahlus-Sunnah.
Allāh ﷻ said:
﴿وَإِذَا مَاۤ أُنزِلَتۡ سُورَةࣱ فَمِنۡهُم مَّن یَقُولُ أَیُّكُمۡ زَادَتۡهُ هَـٰذِهِۦۤ إِیمَـٰنࣰاۚ فَأَمَّا ٱلَّذِینَ ءَامَنُوا۟ فَزَادَتۡهُمۡ إِیمَـٰنࣰا وَهُمۡ…
Ten Reasons Why Some Students of Knowledge Resort To A Celebrity Style Da'wah
1⃣ Losing patience in teaching books of knowledge and no longer being enthusiastic in cultivating people by producing upright successors for society.
2⃣ Getting little views/attendance for reading foundational books of knowledge.
3⃣ Love for fame and publicity.
4⃣ Prioritising quantity over quality.
5⃣ Crave to be like other celebrity daa'ees.
6⃣ Finding teaching and reading books less exciting than becoming…
A karāmah that took place in Dammāj (Yemen) after the 1st siege | explained by Sheikh Yaḥyā ibn ’Alī al-Ḥajūrī حفظه الله
A year and a half after some of the students of Dammāj were murdered by the Rāfiḍah Ḥūthīs, it rained. The intensity of the rain caused some of the graves to be washed away, revealing what was inside them. The people saw the inhabitants of the graves. Their skin and flesh was still intact. Some…
The role of a Salafi Imām in a masjid run by dodgy admins
Question posed to Sheikh Yaḥyā ḥafidhahullāh
Question: We have a Masjid where the administration is not Salafi but the Imām is. The administration invites people (to deliver classes/lectures) whose conditions are unknown. Does the Imām stand by and listen to them give their talks knowing their conditions are anonymous?
Answer: I advice to leave off these administrations in the Masājid, for verily it is a newly…
RAMAḌHĀN MAY HAVE COME TO AN END BUT THE FASTING CONTINUES...
Imām Muslim -raḥimahullāh- reported in his Ṣaḥīḥ (1164) from the ḥadīth of Abū Ayyūb Al-Ansarī -raḍhiyallāhu ‘anhu- that the Prophet ﷺ said:
((‏من صام رمضان ثم أتبعه بست من شوال كان كصيام الدهر))
"Whoever fasts Ramaḍhān and then follows it with six days of Shawwāl will be (rewarded) as if he had fasted the entire year."
How does fasting 1 month + 6 days equate to fasting an entire year?
The scholars…
“The Day of Al-Fiṭr (the 1st of Shawwal) is ’Eid. As for the second and third day, they are not from the days of ’Eid at all. Thus ’Eid Al-Fiṭr is only one day whilst ’Eid Al-Aḍhā is four days.”
[Silsilah Al-Hudā wa An-Nūr 274]
ثم انتهى ثم استحى ثم اعترف
O you who overstepped, went overboard and sinned...
* * *
then ceased, felt ashamed, and confessed
أبشر بقول الله في آياته
إن ينتهوا يغفر لهم ما قد سلف
Rejoice in the words of Allāh in His Ayāt
* * *
“If they desist, their past will be forgiven”
People who buy branded products do so for two main reasons:
1. Good quality
2. To make a fashion statement
'Nike' products are no exception.
But did you know that this brand represents a Greek Goddess?
https://t.me/madrasatuna/628
What should you do with your Nike products after realising this fact?
I would advise you to remove/deface the brand, or to recycle the product wherever possible, rather than throwing it away/ destroying it completely, because:

Some of the munkaraat (evils) that Muslims must be aware of when visiting Al-Haramayn (the two holy sites)
1. Decorations in the masjid.
It seems like succeeding kings/Princes are competing with their predecessors in building the best extensions, hence:
- expensive chandeliers
- inscriptions of Quranic Ayaat on walls
- lofty minarets
- decorated carpets, etc.
2. Male soldiers and police officers imitate the Kuffar in their uniforms. There's no need for this, especially considering the fact that the Sahabah conquered…
His Eminence Sheikh Ibn Al-Uthaymeen rahimahullah was asked:
What is the ruling on writing Quranic Ayaat and Prophetic hadiths on the walls of the masaajid?
He replied:
This disturbs people. As for writing Quranic Ayaat on walls, whether in the masjid or elsewhere, then this is an innovation; the Companions never used to engrave Quranic Ayaat on their walls. Moreover, inscribing Quranic Ayaat on walls is a…
On the authority of Anas radhiyallahu 'anhu, the Prophet ﷺ said:
((لاَ تَقُومُ السَّاعَةُ حَتَّى يَتَبَاهَى النَّاسُ فِى الْمَسَاجِدِ))
“The Hour will not be established until people show off with regards to [decorating] the masjids.”
[Reported by Abu Dawud (449) - graded Saheeh by Sheikh Albani in Saheeh Abi Dawud]
Breastfeeding a child inside Ṣalāh does not invalidate the Ṣalāh!
Ibn Rajab raḥimahullāh relayed in Fat-ḥ Al-Bāri that: both Ḥasan Al-Baṣri and Ibrāhīm An-Nakha’ē saw it permissible for a woman to breastfeed her child inside Ṣalāh, and that doing so does not invalidate the Ṣalāh.
[see his explanation on ḥadīth number 516 pertaining to the Prophet ﷺ carrying his granddaughter Umāmah during Ṣalāh]

Splitting one Āyah over two rak'ahs
His Eminence, Imām ’Abdul-’Azīz ibn Bāz raḥimahullāh was asked in one of his lessons about an imām who led the congregation prayer by dividing the Āyah of Ad-Dayn (the longest Āyah in the Qur'ān - Al-Baqarah 282) over two rak’ahs, what is the ruling?
The Sheikh raḥimahullāh smiled and said: “This is the first time I have come across this question,” then he said: “There is…

We live in an era of widespread fitan. The need for beneficial knowledge is greater now than ever before, especially in the case of women; because the enemies have focused all their efforts on misleading her. And if they succeed in that, the family unit which makes up the Ummah will be destroyed. So undoubtedly, educating the women should be a focal point in our da'wah. However, this needs to be within the…
Some have derived from the ḥadīth of Ibn ’Abbās & Jābir raḍhiyallāhu ’anhumā (both reported by Bukhāri & Muslim) the permissibility of a man teaching non-maḥram women without any partition!
