LOVE IS IN THE AIR

❤❤
✋السَّلَامُ عَلَيْكُمُ وَرَحْمَةُ اللَّهِ وَبَرَكَاتُهُ
Why do we need to get married? Allah has made marriage for us to multiply His creation in a halaal and respectable manner. He tells us in the Quran:
"O mankind, be dutiful to your Lord, Who created you from a single soul (Adam), and from him, He created his wife (Hawwa) and from them both He created many men and women, and fear Allah, through Whom you demand (your mutual rights) and (do not cut the relationships of) the wombs (kinship). Surely Allah is ever an All-Watcher over you". [Surah An'Nisa 4:1]
We pray that Allah guide us in fulfilling this strong commandment of Allah and sunnah of our nabi (pbuh) - aameen
HALAALRELATIONSHIPS

Stop using Conditional Expressions In Your Posts

My advice to those people posting such is, please stop using conditional expressions that limit judgments on Islamic posts. You should be very careful not to end up accumulating sin in the name of what you don't understand but yet impersonate.

It's better to ask about whatever baffles you in Islam to always be on the safer side.

Expressions like:

- if you believe do this

- share this to ten people you will miracles.

- if you deny prophet he shall deny you hereafter.

- if you don't share will get bad luck.

And many other phrases are today rampantly used  on the social media. This is the root of ignorance and sin to be precise because it counters the fundamental etiquettes of Dawah and the general conditions of calling others into Islam.

The Qur'an says: (closest meaning):
"There is no compulsion in religion"

The prophet also said: (closest meaning):
"Call to Islam using soft words and do not make people afraid"

In a contrast, it is clear that with phrases or expressions that limit one's judgment in a post would in fact create a vague impression on their minds rather than motivation.

At this juncture, I kindly beg of your pardon to deviate and abandon any expression in your postings that will ridicule the bases of Dawah in Islam.

Forgive me if I offended you. May Allah forgive our short comings.

Ameen

“The Daiyooth will not enter Jannah.”

Who is a Dayooth?
In an authentic narration, the Prophet Muhammad
sallaAllahu alaihi wa sallam said
“The Daiyooth will not enter Jannah.”
Daiyooth is the man who doesn’t have jealousy on
his Maharaim (his mother, sister,   …).
Abdullaah ibn ‘Umar(radhi`Allaahu anhu ) reported
that the Prophet (salAllaahu alayhi wa sallam)
said:
“Three people will not enter paradise, and Allaah
will not look to them on the Day of Judgement: the
one who is disobedient to his parents, the woman
who imitates men and the ad-Dayooth.”
[Musnad Ahmad (2/134) No. 6180, Musnad al-
Bazzar (12/270) No. 6051, al-Sunnan al-Kubra al-
Nasa'i (2/63) No. 2354, al-Mu’jam al-Awsat al-
Tabarani (3/51) No. 2443]
-the dayooth is a man who doesn't care if his
family becomes corrupted
-he allows his wife and daughters to leave the
home without hijab
Ad-Dayooth is the man who permits women for
whom he is responsible (eg: mother, wife, sister
etc.) to engage in illicit relations, or to display
their beauty to strange men, thereby stimulating
their sexual desires.
He is the man who would SHOW OFF his wife (or
any of his mahram female), her beauty and her
style in front of men.
He is the one who doesn’t protect her from the
eager eyes of strangers (non Mahram).
He is the one who accepts that his wife go out with
him wearing perfume, putting make up and wearing
attractive clothes as if she is an item for sale to
others.
He is the man who is pleased by the admiring
glances from stranger men toward his wife.
He would let his sister/his daughter go out with
tight clothes, without her Hijab.
He is the man who knows that his sister/his
daughter has a boyfriend but he doesn’t care.
He never has Jealousy on her and would let her
show her charm to any one...

Definition of Da'wah and Islaah

Da’wah means a ‘call’ or ‘invitation’; which means to invite non-Muslims to Islam as well as the Muslims to the true understanding and practice of Islam.
But many a times, in context, it refers to the invitation of Islam extended to those who are yet to believe in or accept Islam.

‘Islaah’ literally means ‘to repair’ or ‘to
improve’. In an Islamic context, it refers
to efforts to improve Muslims or to correct them.

Difference between Da'wah and Islah :

Da'wah in Arabic actually means an invitation and an invitation can only be given to an out sider. And in Islamic
terminology, Da'wah ul Islam means an invitation to Islam.
When we speak about Islam to a non Muslim inviting to Islam it's called Dawah.

✊ Many people even think when we speak
about Islam to Muslim it's called Da'wah and they use this term Da'wah for both types of talk.

Basically when we speak about Islam to a Muslim calling him
closer or letting him know more about Islam the more appropriate word is Islah.

May Almighty Allah  give us the understanding and deep knowledge in Islam ...

WESTERN EDUCATION "OBSESSION"!!!

#CAUSES
1) As soon as a child becomes a year old, we
start buying toys for him or instilling the love of
pictorial objects or cartoons into him...

2) The mother begins to teach him/her baby that: A is for Apple and B is for Ball, but doesn't teach her
baby that A is for Allah and B is for Bismillah continuously.

2)At the age of two or three, we take him into a
day-care centre where his Western education
journey begins.

3) At the age of 3, s/he is in nursery 1 or KG 1.
Children ordinarily don't like going to schools 'cos
they are not used to it. They prefer the company
of Mummy at home. That’s why they all cry when going to school.

4) The child begins to observe:

#Everyday my mummy prepares me for school

#Under the sun or in the rain

#I have a unique uniform for school

#With time, the kid begins to love "schooling" because it looks to him like the utmost reason of
existence.

-5) At the age of 5, he is in Primary one:

#Everyday, the parents wakes him up for school
but not for fajr

#He is quickly bathed on school days but not during
weekends

#His hair is combed and his nails trimmed so that he won't be beaten in school for dirtiness

#Everyday his assignments are checked by his parents but no one bothers about his Islamiyyah assignments

#His school fees are paid on time bt no one
cares about his Islamiyyah dues.

#The father takes him to school early "before"
assembly but the father doesn't take him to Juma'ah early "before" the Khutbah.

#The child begins to reason about all these. So he becomes more inclined to school than Islamiyyah!

6) When exams are approaching, the parents be like:

"Hey, no sleeping tonight, you gotta read, you must
come first in class"

#So the child begins to burn the night candles but no one orders him to wake up for tahajjud, "...he should be tired. After all, he READ overnight...!!!"

##His parents be like:

"I will buy WHATEVER you want for you if you come out with flying colours"

But, alas!!! no one makes such promises concerning his Islamiyyah exams.

##During exam periods, parents be like:
Hey, no more TV until you finish your exams, no more visiting of friends, no more football bla bla bla.

###So the child begins to see exam periods as a
kinda mini judgement day!
.
This is how a child's impression about Western
education is "conditioned" to look so great to him as if its the first purpose of creation!

#LONG TERM EFFECTs...
On the long run, the child begins to think wild,
read wide about life and worldly things, but
hardly thinks about the hereafter.

1) He doesn't cry when going to school anymore 'cos he is used to staying away from home.
Because of this, he wants a boarding school or he
wants admission into a uni that's far away from
home! (Especially our Muslim girls)!!

2) They don't wanna be under mum's control
anymore. They wanna become their own "boss"!

3) When a teenager gets an admission into any
institution, he goes crazy, jubilating, and celebrating but when he is given an admission into an Halqah (study circle), he doesn't even
wear a smile on his face!

3) They now have big dreams, career obsession, "I wanna become a Professor by all means", but the young lad doesn't care about becoming a scholar of the Deen!
And the parents too be like:
'If u come out wit first class, I will send you to
"America" for your Masters'...

4) The child's obsession about western education
increases the more!
So s/he wants to earn dat first class by all means,
even by offering herself to the lecturer or sorting
his lecturer!

4) That's why you see that when Undergraduates
finally graduate from the University after their final
exams, they go crazy, jubilating, staining their
shirts wit markers, dancing, jumping, partying as if they have won a ticket to Jannah, you won't blame them, that's  because western education has been made to look like a TROPHY to them!

5) They are graduates and their spoken English is
mindblowing but they can't recite Suratul Faatihah with Tajweed!

6) They contest and compete for SUG presidents, class monitors, school association Presidents. But when it comes to Sallah, they go and stay at the last line!

7) When its time for NYSC, the Muslim girls won't hesitate to wear bum-shots and t-shirts, they "happily" run, jog and do exercises with men,
dance and partake in MissNYSC because they don't give a damn what the religion says about all these because they already believe "anything" is worth sacrificing for education to prevail.

##Because education has been made to look like a
competition while religion has been made to
look like an "option"!
.
#PROBLEMS...

1) This obsession, makes our women refuse to
get married until they have bagged degrees and
masters!

2) It makes d men lazy to prepare for marriage
until they have gotten a well paying job, a car, a
house and a professorship.

3) It makes our women quote western "proverbs"
often rather than quoting Ahaadith.

4) Our children love soccer, artistes and
celebrities but they can't mention 10 Companions of the Prophet

5) Our children now have a whole room full of
novels, western books, encyclopedias and the
likes but the only islamic book they have at home is
the Quran!

6) Our kids now think, being an "elite" is the
ultimate success while those "Imams" are
illiterates who are losers in this world!

7) When that student finally gets a job, he becomes "obsessed" with it too at the detriment
of his Deen.

8) He goes to work everyday including sundays

9) He is always on business trips

10) He leaves home for work before his kids wake
up and he goes back home late when his kids
are already asleep.

11) During Subhi, he is on his way speeding to
work, during Dhuhr, he is busy wit office duty,
during Asr he is in a board meeting, during
maghrib he is just closing for d day, during Isha,
he is stuck in the traffic jam, when he gets home
he combines all his Salawaat "if" he has the
strength!

In summary, this is the kind of AQEEDAH that
our obsession for western education has instilled
in us, if not for the timely guidance that Alllah
has bestowed on us, how many are people out
there who are still wallowing in this pool of ignorance thinking dey are d successful ones?
Am not saying we shouldn't go to sch, surely
islam encourages education but not to the
extreme or at d detriment of Deen!

Suggest the possible solution yourselves as two good heads are better than one!

May Allah forgive and guide us, amen!

Plz let's forward this to each and every muslim contact. It will really help inshaallah. let's seek for solutions and apply them right away.

Who are the mahrams in front of whom a woman can uncover?

��Praise be to Allaah.

It is permissible for a woman to take off her hijaab in front of her mahrams.

A woman’s mahram is a person whom she is never permitted to marry because of their close blood relationship (such as her father, grandfather, great-grandfather, etc., and her son, grandson, great-grandson, etc., her paternal and maternal uncles, her brother, brother’s son and sister’s son), or because because of radaa’ah or breastfeeding (such as the brother and husband of the woman who breastfed her), or because they are related by marriage (such as the mother’s husband, the husband’s father, grandfather, etc., and the husband’s son, grandson, etc.). More details on this subject are given below:

��Mahrams by ties of blood

These are the ones mentioned in Soorat al-Noor, where Allaah says (interpretation of the meaning):

“… and not to reveal their adornment except to their husbands, or their fathers, or their husband’s fathers, or their sons, or their husband’s sons, or their brothers or their brother’s sons, or their sister’s sons…” [al-Noor 24:31].

The mufassireen said: the woman’s male mahrams by ties of blood, as stated clearly in this aayah or inferred by it are as follows:

1- the woman’s forefathers, no matter how far back the line of ascent goes through her father and her mother, such as her father’s forefathers and her mother’s forefathers. As for her husband’s forefathers, they are her mahrams by marriage, as we shall see below.

2- her sons, which includes her children’s children, no matter how the line of descent goes and whether they are descended from males or females, such as her sons’ sons and her daughters’ sons. As for her “husband’s sons” mentioned in the aayah, these are the husband’s sons from other wives, and these are her mahrams by marriage, not by blood, as we shall see below.

3- her brothers, whether they are her brothers through both the mother and father, or through the father only or the mother only.

4- the children of her siblings, whether they are descended through the males or females, such as the sons of her sister’s daughters.

5- paternal uncles and maternal uncles. They are mahrams by blood even though they are not mentioned in the aayah, because they are like parents and are regarded by people as having the same status as parents, and a paternal uncle may be called a father. Allaah says (interpretation of the meaning):

“Or were you witnesses when death approached Ya‘qoob (Jacob)? When he said unto his sons, “What will you worship after me?” They said, “We shall worship your Ilaah (God — Allaah) the Ilaah (God) of your fathers, Ibraaheem (Abraham), Ismaa’eel (Ishmael), Ishaaq (Isaac)…” [al-Baqarah 2:133].Ismaa’eel was the paternal uncle of the sons of Ya’qoob.

(Tafseer al-Raazi, 23/206; Tafseer al-Qurtubi, 12/232, 233; Tafseer al-Aaloosi, 18/143; Fath al-Bayaan fi Maqaasid al-Qur’aan by Siddeeq Hasan Khaan, 6/352)

��Mahrams by radaa’ah (breastfeeding)

A woman may have mahrams through radaa’ah. It says in Tafseer al-Aloosi:

“The relationship of mahram which permits a woman to show her adornments may be through radaa’ah as well as through blood ties, so it is permissible for a woman to show her adornments to those who are her fathers or sons through radaa’ah.” (Tafseer al-Aaloosi. 18/143) The relationship of mahram by radaa’ah is like the relationship of mahram by blood – it means that marriage is forever forbidden by virtue of that relationship of mahram. This was the view stated by Imaam al-Jassaas when he commented on this aayah. He said (may Allaah have mercy on him): “When Allaah mentioned the fathers and that their marriage to these women is forbidden forever, this indicates that the same prohibition applies in other relationships of mahram, such as the mother of the woman and those who are mahrams by radaa’ah, etc.” (Ahkaam al-Qur’aan by al-Jassaas, 3/317).

The same things are made haraam by radaa’ah as by ties of blood.

It also says in the Sunnah: “The same things are made haraam by radaa’ah as by ties of blood.” This means that the people who are mahram to a woman because of blood ties are also mahram because of radaa’ah. It was reported in Saheeh Muslim that ‘Aa’ishah Umm al-Mu’mineen (may Allaah be pleased with her) said that Aflah the brother of Abu Qu’ays came and asked permission to see her. He was her uncle through radaa’ah. This was after hijaab had been revealed, so she refused to give him permission. When the Messenger of Allaah (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) came, she told him about what she had done and he told her to give him permission. (Saheeh al-Bukhaari bi Sharh al-‘Asqallaani, 9/150). This hadeeth was also narrated by Imaam Muslim, where the wording is: from ‘Urwah from ‘Aa’ishah, who told him that her uncle by radaa’ah, who was called Aflah, asked permission to see her and she did not let him. She told the Messenger (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) and he said to her, “Do not observe hijaab in front of him, because the same relationships of mahram are created by radaa’ah as by blood ties.” (Saheeh Muslim bi Sharh al-Nawawi, 10/22)

A woman’s mahrams through radaa’ah are the same as her mahrams through blood ties.

In accordance with the Qur’aan and Sunnah, the fuqahaa’ have stated that a woman’s mahrams through radaa’ah are the same as her mahrams through blood ties. It is permissible for her to display her adornments before her mahrams by radaa’ah just as it is permissible for her to display her adornments before her mahrams by blood ties. It is permissible for her mahrams by radaa’ah to see whatever of her body it is permissible for her mahrams by blood ties to see.

��Mahrams by marriage

A woman’s mahrams by marriage are those whom it is forever forbidden to marry, such as the father’s wife, the son’s wife or the wife’s mother. (Sharh al-Muntahaa, 3/7).

The mahram by marriage of the father’s wife is his son from another wife, for the wife of the son it is his father, and for the mother of the wife it is the husband. Allaah says in Soorat al-Noor(interpretation of the meaning):

“… and not to reveal their adornment except to their husbands, or their fathers, or their husband’s fathers, or their sons, or their husband’s sons…” [al-Noor 24:31]. 
Their husband’s fathers and their husband’s sons are mahrams of the woman by marriage. Allaah mentioned them along with their (the women’s own) fathers and sons, and made them all the same in the sense that women may display their adornments in front of them. (Al-Mughni, 6/555)
