Here's the first lesson: https://youtu.be/sZp61HX4Mcc Madina Book 2 will be starting soon إن شاء الله so be prepared. I understand classes are not face to face, but if you take these classes seriously, you will benefit إن شاء الله. I suggest setting yourself a timetable to help maintain a regular schedule and dedicating a notebook for notes. If you feel your notes will be of help to others, send them to me…

A revert's story The best Ramadhan I ever had was when I first embraced Islam 13 years ago. I accepted Islam the night before Ramadhan and on the following day I began fasting. Although that was my first Ramadhan, fasting was pretty easy Alhmadu lillaah. The brothers were very friendly, loving and welcoming. I would get invited for Iftaar at a different house almost every day. Sometimes brothers would even fight…

“It's okay sometimes to do as the Abyssinians did in the Prophet’s masjid. As for dedicating a place in the masjid for children’s play, then this is not from the Sunnah. But if they are in need of that for the reason cited, then somewhere separate from the masjid nearby.”

QUESTION: Is it permissible to set a place inside the masjid for playing in order to encourage young people to attend and remain in the masjid, and for fear of them becoming lost on the streets? Some masaajid have already done so, substantiating that with the playing of the Abyssinians in the masjid at the time of the Prophet ﷺ. So is this correct? I hope that you will explain to me the ruling on this act along…

قال أبو زرعة الرازي لأبي حاتم الرازي ترفع يديك في القنوت؟ قال لا. فقال أبو حاتم فترفع أنت؟ قال نعم. فال أبو حاتم فما حجتك؟ قال حديث ابن مسعود قلت رواه ليث ابن أبي سليم قال حديث أبي هريرة قال رواه ابن لهيعة قال حديث ابن عباس قال رواه عوف قال أبو زرعة فما حجتك في تركه؟ قال حديث أنس أن رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم كان لا يرفع يديه في شيء من الدعاء إلا في الاستسقاء فسكت. Abu Zur'ah Ar-Razi asked Abu Hatim Ar-Razi, “do…

Sheikh 'Uthaymeen rahimahullah said: من حكمة الله عزوجل أنه لم يأمر في الشرع بأن يقتل الزاني المحصن بالسيف وينتهي أمره بل يرجم بهذه الحجارة حتى يتعذب ويذوق ألم العذاب في مقابل ما وجده من لذة الحرام لأن هذا الزاني تلذذ جميع جسده بالحرام فكان من الحكمة أن ينال هذا الجسد من العذاب بقدر ما نال من اللذة. “It is from the wisdom of Allah the Almighty that He did not legislate in the Shari’ah for the fornicator to be…

If you're coming back from 'Umrah in these coming days, as many of you are, try your best to revive this forgotten Sunnah Sheikh Uthaymeen rahimahullah said: ينبغي للإنسان إذا قدم بلده (من سفر) أن يعمد إلى المسجد قبل أن يدخل إلى بيته فيصلي فيه ركعتين لأن هذه سنة النبي القولية والفعلية .وما أظن أحداً من الناس اليوم إلا قليلاً يعمل هذه السنة وهذا لجهل الناس بهذا وإلا فهو سهل والحمد لله .وسواء صليت في مسجدك الذي كنت…

((استخفاء العمل عبادة، وهو دليل الإخلاص)) “Hiding one's deeds is an act of worship and it is an indication of sincerity.” Taken from ⤵️ https://sh-yahia.net/show_sound_12070.html He also mentions some other important points on publicising good deeds on social media

1⃣. One final opportunity to free myself from Hellfire https://sunnah.com/ibnmajah:1643 2⃣. One final opportunity to fast and have my sins forgiven 3⃣.

• Zakatul Fitr is given in gratitude to Allah for the completion of Ramadhan. [Fataawa Al-Uthaymeen (18-257)] ____ • Zakatul Fitr is obligatory upon every Muslim; old and young, male and female, freeman and slave.

Not long ago we were announcing the FIRST Jumu'ah of Ramadhan, but today we go into the LAST الله المستعان. If this is how quick and temporary this worldly life is, surely we need to make the most of every possible opportunity SO TAKE THIS OPPORTUNITY TO OFFER THE BEST PRAYER OF THE WEEK, BECAUSE NEXT WEEK IS NOT GUARANTEED Ibn 'Umar radhiyallahu 'anhu narrated, the Prophet ﷺ said: ((أفضل الصلوات عند الله…

Don't underestimate the obligatory prayers during these remaining nights, because Maghrib and 'Isha in congregation are the best prayers you can possibly offer during Laylatul Qadr. Yes, Qiyamul Layl will wipe away previous sins if offered with Eman and Ihtisaab, but it's always going to be second best when compared to Maghrib & 'Isha. Abu Hurairah Radhiyallahu 'anhu narrated that Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) said:…

Some masaajid have a plasma screen on the sister's side. Aside from the reasons cited above, having a screen displaying the men's section to the sisters is problematic because: 1. Allah commanded women to lower their gaze and guard their chastity the same way he commanded the men. Allah the Almighty said: { قُل لِّلۡمُؤۡمِنِینَ یَغُضُّوا۟ مِنۡ أَبۡصَـٰرِهِمۡ وَیَحۡفَظُوا۟ فُرُوجَهُمۡۚ ذَ ٰ⁠لِكَ أَزۡكَىٰ لَهُمۡۚ…

Questioner: Another (person) is asking about placing TV/plasma screens inside the masjd? Sheikh 'AbdulMuhsin: ما ينبغي هذا (*) This is inappropriate Because it is a distraction. This is absolutely inappropriate! Questioner: Even if what is being displayed is other than images, such as remembrances or directions/advices Sheikh: Absolutely not! Directions/advices for worshippers should be printed out and everyone…

There's a video I just came across portraying a fatal road accident involving pilgrims in Saudi Arabia. But the shocking part is not the horrifying sight of dead bodies lying in the middle of the road, the shocking part for me is how some bystanders heartlessly took out their phones to record this horrifying sight. Imagine that was your dead mother, father, brother, or sister, would you be heartless enough to record…

1⃣ - Praying a single rak’ah. The Prophet ﷺ said: ((الوتر ركعة من آخر الليل)) “Witr is a rak'ah at the end of the night.” [Reported by Muslim on the authority of Ibn 'Umar -raḍhiyallāhu 'anhu-] And in the ḥadīth of Ḥudhayfah raḍhiyallāhu 'anhu the Prophet ﷺ demonstrated this practically; https://sunnah.com/muslim/6/242 2⃣ - Praying nine consecutive units with tashahhud in the eighth, then without making…

رَبَّنَاۤ ءَاتِنَا فِی ٱلدُّنۡیَا حَسَنَةࣰ Our Lord! Grant us the good of this world وَفِی ٱلۡـَٔاخِرَةِ حَسَنَةࣰ and the Hereafter, وَقِنَا عَذَابَ ٱلنَّارِ and protect us from the torment of the Fire.”
