Remarkable Recurrences in the Life of Ibn Muqlah It's mentioned in Al-Wāfī bi’l-Wafayāt (vol. 1, p. 488): Among the curiosities is that the wazeer Ibn Muqlah assumed the office of minister three times; during his lifetime he travelled three times—once to Al-Mawṣil and twice in exile to Shīrāz; and after his death he was buried three times in three different locations. _ The series thus far, may Allāh facilitate…

An Unusual Parallel in the Births and Deaths of Three Scholars Shaykh Al-Islām Ibn Ḥajar Al-ʿAsqalānī mentioned in his Muʿjam that the three imams—Al-ʿIrāqī, Al-Bulqīnī, and Ibn Al-Mulaqqin—were the marvel of their age at the turn of the century: the first distinguished in knowledge of ḥadīth and its disciplines; the second remarkable for the breadth of his mastery of the Shāfiʿī school; and the third notable for…

The Torment of High Aspiration Never has a human being been afflicted with anything greater than the loftiness of his aspiration. For one whose ambition is elevated seeks the highest ideals; yet time may not aid him, and his means may grow weak, so he remains in a state of torment. I myself have been granted a share of this lofty ambition, and thus I suffer because of it. Yet I do not say, “Would that it had not…

Secluding Oneself in Times of Fitan Ibn ʿAqīl Al-Ḥanbalī was asked: “People are surrounded by much evil, tribulation, and affliction. Is it better for a person to mix with them, or is it better for him to remain in his home and withdraw from people?” He replied: “If he is among the people of knowledge, then he should mix with them, visit them in their homes, and allow them to visit him in his home—even in times of…

Cases Where Voluntary Acts Are Better Than Obligatory Acts Scholars agree that obligatory acts are generally better than voluntary ones; because they are more beloved to Allāh and bring greater reward. This is well known, based on the saying of Allāh (ḥadīth Qudsi): “My servant does not come closer to Me with anything more beloved to Me than what I have made obligatory upon him.” [Bukhari] ʿUmar ibn ʿAbdil-ʿAzīz…

"I Marry You to Myself!" Imam Al-Bukhāri raḥimahullāh has a chapter titled: باب إذا كان الولي هو الخاطب “Chapter: When the Guardian Is the One Proposing Marriage.” In this chapter he discusses the case where a woman’s guardian (walī) is himself the one proposing marriage to her. Examples of such a case include: -> if a cousin (who is lawfully permitted to marry her) assumes guardianship -> or a woman entrusts…

A Wise Woman Who Utilised Polygyny to Warn Against Shirk and Call to Tawheed Some time ago, two Moroccan women were arguing—one was a monotheist and the other a polytheist. They were sitting together in the Prophet’s Mosque. The monotheist said to the polytheist: “It is not proper for you to seek help from a prophet or a righteous person; you should seek help from Allāh alone.” The polytheist did not accept…

An apology from a good person is like an immediate payment, while an apology from a bad person is like paying a debt late A good person, if they upset a friend, doesn't wait for the hurt to grow. They don't let the heart break or the wound get infected. Instead, they hurry to say sorry and fix the friendship before the pain gets worse. Abu Bakr As-Siddiq (may Allāh be pleased with him) once said: ((كَانَ بَيْنِي…

A divorced or widowed woman is not a used car—so fear Allāh in your treatment of them! In the time of the Prophet ﷺ, when a Muslim woman’s husband passed away or she was divorced, the Companions would compete to marry her, out of respect, honour, and care for her well-being. If we review their biographies, we find instances of a single woman marrying multiple Companions—sometimes three, sometimes four—without…

True Friendship Among the means by which one is saved from misguidance, and spared from innovation, deviation, and ignorance, is that Allāh brings to him righteous friends who grant him insight, take him by the hand, and lead him to the path of light and Ēmān. While exceptionally rare, friends of this nature are marked by the following notable characteristics: Imām Abū Al-Qāsim Muḥammad ibn Juzayy Al-Gharnāṭī…

Sheikh Ibn Baz rahimahullah said: "If travel takes place before the adhān—before the sun passes its zenith—then there is no issue, In-shā-Allāh. However, it is better for you not to travel until you have performed the Jumuʿah prayer; this is what is preferable for you. If you do travel before the time of Jumuʿah begins, there is no sin upon you. There is also no objection to combining prayers as long as the…

May Allāh make this Jumu‘ah a means of drawing us closer to Him.

Yes, it is permissible to make up missed rawaatib, however Ibn ʿUthaymīn rahimahullah restricted this ruling to cases in which the omission is not deliberate; rather, the prayer is missed due to a valid excuse. He states rahimahullah: “The evidence for this is what has been authentically reported in the ḥadīths of Abū Hurayrah and Abū Qatādah concerning the incident in which the Prophet ﷺ and his Companions…

Lesson 1 Notes https://t.me/madrasatuna/5610

I once heard a lecture advocating for polygyny in which the speaker claimed that in monogamy, a husband effectively shares his wife’s menstrual period—meaning intimacy is unavailable—whereas this issue supposedly does not exist in polygyny. I consider this reasoning weak for two key reasons. First, if all of a man’s wives happen to have synchronised menstrual cycles, the same limitation would still apply.…
