The fruits of your da'wah may not come during your lifetime
Sheikh 'Uthaymeen raḥimahullāh said:
“Victory is not confined to one becoming victorious during their lifetime and seeing the fruits of their Da'wah. Rather, victory may come after a person's death; that's if Allāh places acceptance in the hearts of His creation to that which he invited them to, and they take it on board and adhere to it. This is a…
If a mistake provokes a harsher retaliation, exercise good manners
ادفع بالتي هي أحسن
Sheikh ’Abdurrazzaq Al-Badr ḥafidhahullāh said:
Among the interesting stories in this regard, one that is particularly beneficial involves a righteous man—may Allāh have mercy on him—who has also passed away. He was performing Hajj, walking on foot despite his advanced age, accompanied by an aide.
The aide narrated the…
As promised, here is Sheikh Yahya’s summary of حياة الحيوان by Muhammad ibn Musa Ad-Damiri.
The book lists animals in alphabetical order, noting whether each is halal or haram, and includes some additional benefits.
Although the original text is in Arabic, we have translated the animal and bird names into English as accurately as possible and colour-coded them to indicate their rulings:
🟩-> Green = halal
🟧-> Orange = haram
🔼-> Grey = varies

1⃣. Winter is “the season of the righteous” because nights are long (good for praying) and days are short (easy for fasting).
The Prophet ﷺ said: “Fasting in winter is a cold (easy) reward.”
You can think of it as having an early breakfast and a late lunch
2⃣. Even if the water is cold, making full ablution (wudu’) properly is rewarded greatly.
The Prophet ﷺ said: “Perfecting wudu’ in hardship erases sins and…

Allāh ﷻ said:
{وَلَا یَغۡتَب بَّعۡضُكُم بَعۡضًاۚ أَیُحِبُّ أَحَدُكُمۡ أَن یَأۡكُلَ لَحۡمَ أَخِیهِ مَیۡتࣰا فَكَرِهۡتُمُوهُۚ}
"Do not backbite one another. Would any of you like to eat the flesh of his dead brother? You would despise that! And fear Allāh." [Sūrah Al-Ḥujurāt: 12]
Many of us are cautious of swallowing even a drop of water, fearing it might invalidate our fast. Yet, we show far less concern when it…
BENEFIT: Is it true that Ibn ’Umar (may Allāh be pleased with him) broke his fast with intercourse?
Yes, while this may not be the most preferred way to break one's fast, it remains permissible.
It was narrated by Aṭ-Ṭabarāni in "Al-Mu’jam Al-Kabīr" (12/269) and Abu Nu‘aym in "Ma‘rifat Aṣ-Ṣaḥābah" (3/1709), where he mentioned a sound chain of narration upto Muḥammad ibn Sīrīn, who said:
«رُبَّمَا أَفْطَرَ ابْنُ عُمَرَ عَلَى الْجِمَاعِ»
“Ibn ‘Umar would sometimes break his fast with intimacy.”
He then mentioned…
Praiseworthy vs. Blameworthy modesty
Sheikh Yahya ḥafidhahullāh said:
In conclusion, the type of modesty that restrains a person from engaging in disgraceful and shameful acts is praiseworthy.
However, the type of modesty that prevents a person from enjoining good, forbidding evil, calling to Allāh, leading in prayer, delivering sermons with sincerity for the sake of Allāh Almighty, or seeking knowledge and…
Sheikh Mansoor Al-Majeedi hafidahullah writes (https://t.me/madrasatuna/4801):
"The laughter and emotions of actors do not belong to them. Even the laughter an actor expresses is not his own; it is required of him. The director instructs him:
"When you reach a certain scene, you must smile," and the camera is set to capture it.
Similarly, the director tells him: "At this particular moment, you must cry."…
As we sit down for iftar tonight, let us take a moment to remember the brave men and women who sacrificed their wealth, property, and even their lives so that this religion could reach us. Their sacrifices should inspire us to remain steadfast in our Deen and actively share it with others.
One of the greatest examples of such sacrifice is the historic Battle of Badr.
A Brief Summary:
-> The Battle of Badr…
Jarh wa ta'deel while fasting
Sheikh Yahya ḥafidhahullāh was asked about disclosing the condition of individuals who require such disclosure during the daytime of Ramaḍhān—does this affect fasting?
He responded:
‟No, because the scholars of Jarh Wa Ta'deel, may Allāh have mercy on them, compiled their books in order to expose the ways of those who oppose [the Sharī‘ah], while fasting and while not fasting. This…
Supplicate for your parents during Taraweeh and Tahajjud
Shaykh Ibn `Uthaymeen( رحمه الله) said: "Your supplication for your father (i.e., both the parents) in Taraaweeh or Tahajjud is much better than you sacrificing ten camels on his behalf (in charity)."
[Liqa'a Al-Baab Al-Maftooh]
نصف رمضان "ذَهَبَ" والباقي "ذَهَبٌ"
❝Half of Ramaḍhān has GONE, and what remains of it is GOLD.❞

BENEFIT: Would you like to earn the reward of fasting and praying for hundreds of years in just a few minutes?
If so, read this remarkable and authentic ḥadīth about the virtues of good deeds—a ḥadīth that scholars have regarded as unparalleled in reward.
Imām At-Tirmidhi raḥimahullāh said: "Some of the Imāms have stated that we have not heard of an authentic hadith in the Shari’ah that carries such a great reward." [Tuhfat Al-Ahwadhi (3/5)]
Ibn Ḥajar Al-Haythami raḥimahullāh mentioned: "It has been said that there is…
4⃣. Three Conditions for Acts that Invalidate Fasting:
- Knowledge (عالمًا) – The person must be aware that the act breaks the fast.
- Remembrance (ذاكرًا) – Forgetfulness does not nullify the fast.
- Free Will (مختارًا) – If done under coercion, the fast remains valid.
-> If someone engages in intercourse forgetfully—though highly unlikely—their fast remains valid.
5⃣. The Importance of Context in Issuing Fatwas:
- The Prophet ﷺ asked, "What is…
The best supplication to begin Qiyām Al-Layl (the night prayer)
Ibn ’Abbās (may Allāh be pleased with him) states that when the Prophet ﷺ would stand for the night prayer, he would say:
اللَّهُمَّ لَكَ الْحَمْدُ،
أَنْتَ نُورُ السَّمَوَاتِ وَالأَرْضِ وَمَنْ فِيهِنَّ،
وَلَكَ الْحَمْدُ،
أَنْتَ قَيِّمُ السَّمَوَاتِ وَالأَرْضِ وَمَنْ فِيهِنَّ،
وَلَكَ الْحَمْدُ،
أَنْتَ الْحَقُّ،
وَوَعْدُكَ حَقٌّ،
وَقَوْلُكَ…
Al-Ḥasan Al-Baṣri (may Allāh have mercy on him) said:
"Verily, your month is decreasing,
so increase your good deeds."
[Laṭā’if Al-Ma‘ārif of Ibn Rajab (1/184)]
