A Painful True Story with a Valuable Lesson to Learn From
A Father shares:
“Yesterday, I sat with my daughter as I usually do, but this time
I decided to surprise her.
I began speaking to her about the dangers of social media and smartphones the things we constantly hear and read about.
Then I calmly said, ‘What if I asked to see your phone?’
The color immediately drained from her face, and I could see fear and discomfort overcome her.
By Allaah, even my own heart…

Why is Adultery Worse in the Case of Women?
Ibn Al-Qayyim rahimahullah states:
«الزِنى من المرأة أقبحُ منه بالرجل، لأنها تزيد على هتكِ حقِّ الله: إفسادَ فراشِ بعلها، وتعليقَ نسبٍ من غيره عليه، وفضيحةَ أهلها وأقاربها، والجناية على محض حق الزوج، وخيانته فيه، وإسقاط حرمته عند الناس، وتعييره بإمساك البغى، وغير ذلك من مفاسد زناها».

Ukhti, your lips look better without fillers. Skip those painful injections, save your money, and don’t turn something naturally beautiful into “sausage lips.”
Lip fillers are filled with risks. The common stuff: bruising, bleeding, swelling, and a bit of pain or itching—usually temporary. But you can also end up with uneven lips, lumps, cold sores, or even allergic reactions.
Bigger risks: fake fillers, DIY disasters, or rare but serious issues like blocked blood vessels.
I would’ve shared pics of DIY disasters to show you just how bad it gets—you’d probably think they…
Ruling on Lip Fillers
Question:
Abu Muhammad from Al-‘Ayn asks: what is the ruling on a woman who gets filler injections for her lips—opening or enlarging them—without her husband’s knowledge, when she has no natural defects? Does the husband have the right to stop her?
Sheikh Azeez Farhan
My brother Abu Muhammad, may Allah bless you, and the answer is for my respected sisters, daughters, and mothers:

If men are permitted to marry multiple women, why aren’t women given the same right?
Islam places strong emphasis on preserving lineage, inheritance rights, and family structure. So a central reason given is the preservation of clear lineage. If a woman had multiple husbands, determining the biological father of a child would become uncertain.

Since most of you look forward to bedtime, here’s something to reflect on as you get ready to sleep tonight ⤵️
At the end of a long and weary day, sleep is more than rest—it is a quiet return to yourself. The body softens, the mind loosens its grip, and for a few hours the burdens of the world step aside. But the depth of that rest is not measured only by how tired you are; it is shaped by what you carry with you into the night.
A mind cluttered with regret, resentment, or unrest rarely finds true stillness. Even in sleep,…
Someone out There Wishes They Were You
You may not realise it, but it’s a truth you’ve probably never thought about. Somewhere, right now, there is someone who wishes they could be you—someone who looks at you and sees that you have something they don’t.
They see you living a life that is their dream, something they strive for day and night to achieve.
You have things that others don’t have. You are living a life…
Life is Better When You Realise That You Are Precious
I’m going to tell you something that will make you happy.
Yes, you are something precious. You are valuable because Allah created you and brought you into existence. He is the One who formed you and made your creation beautiful. Don’t you see yourself as something valuable?
Your veins, your blood, your heart, your mind, your eyes, your breath that continues…
Nurture Love with Some Alone Time
Sheikh Faisal Al-Hashidi writes:
A wise and perceptive woman makes sure that her time with her husband is peaceful and private. Before sitting with him, she gently and wisely keeps the children away without making them feel pushed aside.
These moments are times of tenderness, flowing emotions, loving words, and permissible affection. They may be long or short depending on the…
Taḥnīk for a newborn
Question:
Is the practice of Taḥnīk (chewing dates or something sweet and rubbing it inside the mouth of a newborn baby) specific to the Prophet (ﷺ)?”
The Lajnah Ad-Dā'imah said in response to a similar question:
“Taḥnīk for the newborn baby is a Sunnah which has been confirmed by the action of the Prophet ﷺ for babies born to some Companions (may Allāh be pleased with them). This indicates…
The Practice of Head Shaving
Question: Is shaving the entire head with a razor, such that no hair remains, outside of ḥajj and ʿumrah considered an imitation of the Khawārij?
And should one object to a person who does this?
Shaykh Najeeb Ash-Shar’abi ḥafidhahullāh:
Shaving the head is a prescribed act of worship that is obligatory in ḥajj and ʿumrah, by explicit textual evidence and scholarly consensus.
It is…

The report says:
Ibn Abī ʿAzrah Ad-Duʾalī used to divorce the women he married during the caliphate of ʿUmar. Because of this, stories…
