Many of us know that the majority of the inhabitants of Hellfire will be women, but did you know that the majority of the inhabitants of Paradise will also be women❓
I'd like to share this nice benefit which was relayed by Sheikh Yaḥyā Ibn 'Ali Al-Ḥajūrī -ḥafidhahullāh- on the 28th of Jumādal Ūlā, 1440 H. during one of his classes at Masjid At-Taqwā, Makkah:
He -ḥafidhahullāh- said:
"Ibnul Qayyim -raḥimahullāh- said:
«النساء أكثر أهل النار، وأكثر أهل الجنة؛ لأن المؤمن يتزوج في الجنة باثنتين من بنات آدم»
"Women are the majority of the inhabitants of Hellfire, and they are…

Ruling on Delaying the Marriage of a Younger Daughter
Sheikh Abdul'Azīz ibn Bāz -raḥimahullāh- was asked the following question:
📝 Question:
It is a tradition in our village that the younger daughter cannot be given in marriage before the elder one. Some families refuse to marry off the younger daughter until a suitor proposes marriage to the elder daughter. Is this tradition lawful? What is the ruling on this…
By the grace and virtue of Allāh, during last year's Tarāwīḥ at Masjid 'Uthmān ibn 'Affān, Barking, London, we were able to implement all of these methods -except for 1 & 3-.
We ask Allāh to make it easy for us to implement the remaining two.
Also, by the grace of Allāh, we managed to complete the Qur'ān twice during the past 6/7 years; by reciting two juzz a night -alḥamdulillāh-, and I hope the brothers are…

THE DIFFERENT METHODS OF OFFERING THE NIGHT PRAYER
There are several ways by which a person is allowed to offer the night prayer; all of which have been reported from the Prophet ﷺ:
The First method consists of a single rak’ah, as proven by the saying of the Prophet ﷺ:
((الوتر ركعة من آخر الليل))
"Witr is a rak'ah at the end of the night."…
Marriage to the Prophet ﷺ gave the Prophet's wives a number of exclusive privileges; it meant that they were exposed to aspects of the Prophet's daily life, dealings and acts of worship which may not
And because they realised and understood this clearly, they undertook the burden of relaying their knowledge to the rest of the Ummah; especially 'Ā'ishah bint Aṣ-Ṣiddīq -raḍhiyallāhu 'anhumā- who was the most knowledgeable of them all.
Muḥammad Ibn Muslim Az-Zuhrī said:
«لو جُمع علم عائشة إلى علم جميع أزواجه، وعلمِ جميع النساء، لكان علمُ عائشة أفضل»
"If Ā'ishah's knowledge was gathered alongside the knowledge…
3⃣ SUPPLICATIONS MADE BY THE GREATEST ANGEL, COMBINED WITH 3⃣ ĀMĪNS FROM THE GREATEST PROPHET‼️
Jābir ibn 'Abdillāh reported that the Prophet ﷺ went up the minbar. When he reached the first step, he said, "Āmīn". When he ascended to the second step, he said, "Āmīn," and when he stepped onto the third step, he said, "Āmīn." They said, "O Messenger of Allāh, we heard you say 'Āmīn' three times." He said:
((لَمَّا رَقِيتُ الدَّرَجَةَ الأُولَى جَاءَنِي جِبْرِيلُ ﷺ فَقَالَ‏:‏ شَقِيَ عَبْدٌ أَدْرَكَ…

A Kunyah is a nick-name usually based on the name of one's eldest child.
In the case of men, it starts with Abu....(father of....)
And in the case of women, it starts with Umm....(mother of...)
For example, the Prophet's kunyah was Abu Al-Qāsim ﷺ, and Ā'ishah's Kunyah was Umm Abdillāh -raḍhiyallāhu 'anhā-

Anas -raḍhiyallāhu 'anhu- said:
The Prophet (ﷺ) was the best of all the people in character. I had a brother called Abu 'Umayr, who, I think, had been newly weaned. Whenever he was brought to the Prophet (ﷺ), the Prophet (ﷺ) would say,
‏((يَا أَبَا عُمَيْرٍ مَا فَعَلَ النُّغَيْرُ))
"O Abu 'Umayr! What happened to Nughayr?" It was a small bird which he used to play with.

Imām Al-Albāni -may Allāh have mercy on him- said:
«كثيراً ما تقع المقاطعة والمصارمة مما يخطر في بال الإنسان من الظنون والأوهام تجاه أخيه المسلم»
"Often, boycotting and hostility arises as a result of [evil] thoughts and delusions that a person has towards his Muslim brother."
[Silsilah Al-Hudā wan-Nūr- (23)]
The ‘awrah of a woman in front of other women and her mahrams such as father, brother and nephew is her entire body except that which usually appears such as the face, hair, neck, forearms and feet.
Allāh says (interpretation of the meaning): “And tell the believing women to lower their gaze (from looking at forbidden things), and protect their private parts (from illegal sexual acts, etc.) and not to show off their adornment except only that which is apparent (like palms of hands or one eye or both eyes for necessity to see the way, or outer dress like veil, gloves, head-cover, apron, etc.), and to draw their…
Have you heard of Sheikh Muqbil Ibn Hādī Al-Wādi'ī -raḥmatullāhi 'alayhi-❓
Was that a "Yes"❓
If so, I'd like to know:
Have you ever seen him❓
And I don't mean, in person. I mean, have you seen any videos of him delivering a sermon or even a general class❓
Was that a "No"❓
Well of course not‼️Because there are no videos of him, and don't go searching for him on YouTube because your time's too precious for that.
Now let me ask you this, have you benefited from the Sheikh in any way,…
«إذا أرشدت غيرك إلى الخير وحذرته من الشر فقد تصدقت عليه صدقة عظيمة، لأن الله قد ينفعه بها أكثر مما ينفعه المال»
"If you direct others to good and forbid them from evil, then you have been very charitable towards them, because Allāh may benefit them by way of this more than the benefit gained from wealth."
[Al-Minḥah Ar-Rabbāniyyah fī sharḥil Arb'īn - Pg. 222].

There's no need to be sad O student of knowledge, because Allāh has blessed you with something far greater than wealth, so share it with others and don't be stingy!

All praises belongs to Allāh. We praise Him as He deserves to be praised.
I bear witness that there is no diety worthy of worship, in truth, except Allāh, and may peace and blessings be upon the final Messenger of Allāh, his family and all those who follow him in goodness.
