A Father’s Role
We often hear about the importance of a mother’s role in raising children, and rightly so. However, the role of a father is equally important and should never be overlooked.
A father’s responsibility is not limited to providing financial support and covering his children’s living expenses. His role goes far beyond that. He must strive to cultivate good morals and character in his children and help…
Someone is taking their last breath today on a hospital bed, while you are frustrated by traffic on the road.
Someone is spending their first night alone after years of love and companionship, while you are upset over a small task left undone.
Someone has been making du‘ā’ for a child for years, while you feel anger over a little mess at home.
Someone is burying their mother today, while impatience rises because…
Because even the skin under facial hair within the required face area does not need water to reach it, as Imam An-Nawawi said. It is not prescribed. So it is even more obvious that this applies to the
The neck, by agreement of the scholars, is not part of the face. Several scholars stated that it is not washed together with the face, and the hair growing on it is not considered facial hair. It has a separate ruling.
▪️The third situation:
The hair extends beyond the face boundary. For example, when a person has a long beard that is longer than the face itself.
The hair that extends out from the face: it is…
The Three Cases of Male Facial Hair in Wudu
Sheikh 'Abdussalam Ash-Shuwa'ir hafidhahullah states:
Thick hair is either located on an area that is wiped, or on an area that is washed. If it is on an area that is wiped, then there is no doubt that التخليل running the fingers through it (to make water reach inside) is not prescribed, because what is required is only to wipe the hair itself, not to separate it and…
Male Facial Hairs
The poet writes:
شعُوْرُ وَجْهٍ غَمَمٌ وَشَارِبُ * وَهَدْبُ عَيْنٍ ثُمَّ فَوْقُ الْحَاجِبُ
1. the hair of the face (ghamam x1),
2. the moustache (shaarib x1),
3. the eyelashes (hadb x2), and then
4. the hair above it; the eyebrows (haajib x2).
عَنْفَقَةٌ مَعَ السِّبَالِ وَاللِّحْيَ * وَعَارِضًا بَعْدَ الْعِذَارٍ أَصْلِحَا
There is also:
5. the small hair under the lower lip ('anfaqah x1),…
Shaykh Muhammad Bā Jamāl حفظه الله said:
“if a man wishes to get married, is a student of knowledge, is upright, and intends to travel (in pursuit of knowledge), he should marry a woman who also has a desire to seek knowledge. She will accompany him and patiently endure with him through its sweetness and bitterness, its hardship and ease, until she becomes a source of support for him in seeking knowledge, whereby…
I know you've been roasting all these years, struggling to hold back your desires, but be gentle and don’t rush the process. Don’t let your desires distract you from the sunans of the first night. I emphasise the first night because first impressions matter, and the beginning of a marriage often sets the tone for what follows. If you are too relaxed, it may be used against you when you later want to be more serious.…
If the groom is a student of knowledge, or has been serious about studying his religion, he should not allow his new marriage to completely distract him from continuing upon that path. He should communicate openly with his wife and establish healthy expectations and boundaries so that he can continue seeking knowledge and growing in his religion.
It is true that after marriage, especially in the beginning, it may…

A poem by Ibn Qayyim Al-Jawziyya refuting Christian beliefs
أعباد المسيح لنا سؤالُ — نريد جوابه ممن وعاه
O worshippers of Christ, we have a question for you — we seek its answer from those among you who understand.
إذا مات الإله بصنع قومٍ — أماتوه فما هذا الإله؟
If God was killed by the actions of some people, then they killed Him — so what kind of god is this?
وهل أرضاه ما نالوه منه — فبُشراهم إذا نالوا رضاه
Was He pleased with what they did to Him? If so, then glad…
Beware of wearing clothes that have a cross on them!
عن عَائِشَةَ رضى الله عنها أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ لَمْ يَكُنْ يَتْرُكُ فِي بَيْتِهِ شَيْئًا فِيهِ تَصَالِيبُ إِلاَّ نَقَضَهُ.
A'ishah (may Allāh be pleased with her) reported that the Prophet ﷺ would not leave in his house anything containing crosses except that he obliterated it. [Sahih Bukhari - 5952]

Whenever Imam Ahmad (may Allah have mercy on him) looked at a Christian, he would close his eyes. He was asked about this, and he said:
لا أقدر أن أنظر إلى من افترى على الله وكَذَب عليه
“I can't look at someone who has falsely accused Allah and lied about Him.”

Do Not Enquire About What Is Hidden
Salman Al-Farisi (may Allah be pleased with him) got married.
When morning came, his companions came to him and said, “How did you find your wife?”
He turned away from them. They asked him again, and he turned away. They asked him a third time, and he again turned away. Then he said:
“Allah, the Exalted, has made curtains, private rooms, and doors to conceal what is inside…
Ruling on Using Kohl for Beautification in Islam (Men and Women)
Question:
Is it permissible to apply kohl for beautification?
Sheikh Rashad Adh-Dhali'ee
As for a woman, yes, it is permissible, because applying kohl is part of a woman’s adornment. But for a man, no — beautifying oneself with kohl is not considered something appropriate for men. If a man uses kohl, he should only use it for treatment, such as using…

Four Reasons Why Shaving the Beard is a Major Sin
Sheikh Salim At-Taweel hafidhahullah states:
Scholars have mentioned that shaving the beard involves four sins — not just one. Some scholars even said that they are four major sins. What are they?
First: disobeying the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, who commanded people to grow and keep their beards.
Second: imitating the Jews and Christians.
