How to Calculate Your Annual Zakah
Sheikh Abdussalam Ash-Shuway'ir explains:
I will explain to you an easy way to calculate zakat. Although it is slightly outside our main topic, I believe it is very important and beneficial.
The basic rule in calculating zakat is that a person should fix one specific day each year to calculate it. For example, let us say it is the first day of the month of Muharram every Hijri…
The Benefits of Giving Children a Kunyah (“Abu…” or “Umm…”)
1⃣. Following the Prophetic practice
The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) used to give kunyah even to children.
In Sahih Al-Bukhari, Anas (may Allah be pleased with him) said:
“I had a younger brother called Abu ‘Umayr — I think he had just been weaned. Whenever the Prophet (peace be upon him) came, he would say to him:
‘O Abu ‘Umayr, what happened to the little bird?’” He had a small bird that he used to…
Simple Calculation - Shocking Results
A village has 40 families.
We assume each family has 3 people who chew qat.
The average daily expense per person = 5,000 Yemeni riyals.
The number of chewing days per month = 20 days.
📌 The Calculation:
3 people × 5,000 = 15,000 riyals per day per family
15,000 × 20 days = 300,000 riyals per month per family
Now, for the entire village:
300,000 × 40 families = 12,000,000…
Parenting – A Demanding Role With Great Rewards
I recently came across this clip of an incident that occurred many years ago [https://t.me/salafihomeschool/1125].
It serves as a powerful reminder of the immense responsibility we carry as parents. Bringing children into the world may be easy, but honoring the trust and fulfilling the obligations that come with it is a weighty and demanding task.
Yet none of that…
Seeking Refuge from the Evil of Uncontrolled Desire
Sheikh Abdurrazaq Al-Badr states
Semen can lead to evil. That is why it is mentioned in a well-known supplication from our Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him): “I seek refuge in You from the evil of my semen.”(1)
Semen carries evil if a person does not control himself, does not remain chaste, does not fear Allah (the Almighty), and does not avoid things…
A Very Unusual Divorce Case
Sheikh Muhammad Ash-Shuwai‘ir mentioned a story in his book “Ibn Baz: A Scholar Whom a Nation Lost.” He said:
A man from Ad-Dawadmi came to Sheikh Ibn Baz in Taif to ask about a divorce issue. The man had two wives, and he divorced both of them at the same time.
The Sheikh asked him, “When did this happen?”
He said, “Yesterday.”
He explained: “I had guests. I slaughtered a sheep at…

Husbands Are Given Qiwāmah (Authority) Over Wives For Three Reasons
Abu Bakr ibn Al-‘Arabi – may Allāh have mercy on him – said in Aḥkām Al-Qur'ān regarding the Āyah:
{بِمَا فَضَّلَ ٱللهُ بَعۡضَهُمۡ عَلَىٰ بَعۡضࣲ وَبِمَاۤ أَنفَقُوا۟ مِنۡ أَمۡوَ ٰلِهِمۡ}
"...by [right of] what Allāh has given one over the other and what they spend [for maintenance] from their wealth." [Surah An-Nisāʾ: 34]
The meaning is: Allāh has…
A Disobedient Wife's Right to Financial Support During Pregnancy and ’Iddah?

The Three Greatest Trials for Men
Men are destroyed by three things. By Allāh, no man falls into them except that his religion is weakened, his dignity is damaged, and the blessing in his life disappears.
1⃣. The first destructive thing is private sins.
When a person is alone, his true state of Ēmān is revealed — whether it is sincere or fake.
The Prophet ﷺ said: “I know people from my nation who will come on…
Polygyny is a cause of increased provision
Shaykh Al-Albani rahimahullah said:
“‘Al-‘aylah’ means poverty. So the meaning here is that increasing in marriage can be a reason for wealth and richness. This reminds me of the Āyah:
﴿إن يكونوا فقراء يغنهم الله من فضله﴾
‘If they are poor, Allāh will enrich them from His bounty.’
Marriage is a cause of wealth, not a cause of poverty. In the Āyah,
﴿ذلك أدنى ألا…
