This blog will be islamic, of course, but it will talk about my life as a niqaabi, or munaqaba. I will try posting frequently so ladies can see the everyday life of a sister in niqab. Its interesting. <br /><br /> Check it out at: <br /> www.laurentheniqaabi.blogspot.com<br /><br />Or just put in Lauretheniqaabi in the google search engine, inshaALLAH<br /><br />Well, I hope everyone is well, and hope that everyone had a stupendous Eid. My Eid went great, but of course the sisters had to talk during the salat. Oh my goodness, sisters had to move their chairs in front of me while I was praying. Well, thats women for ya.<br /><br />Wa alaikum salaam for nowSunnahfollowers Muslimahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16385190720836188934noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2860082468328924163.post-16701080241909521532010-09-08T09:38:00.000-07:002010-09-08T09:38:50.211-07:00Eid Mubarak - Eid Takbir from Makkah عيد مبارك مكة<object style="background-image:url(http://i4.ytimg.com/vi/Smx16Ksxvmg/hqdefault.jpg)" width="425" height="344"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/Smx16Ksxvmg?fs=1&hl=en_US"><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/Smx16Ksxvmg?fs=1&hl=en_US" width="425" height="344" allowScriptAccess="never" allowFullScreen="true" wmode="transparent" type="application/x-shockwave-flash"></embed></object>Sunnahfollowers Muslimahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16385190720836188934noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2860082468328924163.post-5863446038588867272010-09-03T21:11:00.000-07:002010-09-03T21:11:15.499-07:00Boonaa Mohammed - For the love<object style="background-image:url(http://i2.ytimg.com/vi/ySf0hCJfdvU/hqdefault.jpg)" width="425" height="344"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/ySf0hCJfdvU?fs=1&hl=en_US"><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/ySf0hCJfdvU?fs=1&hl=en_US" width="425" height="344" allowScriptAccess="never" allowFullScreen="true" wmode="transparent" type="application/x-shockwave-flash"></embed></object>Sunnahfollowers Muslimahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16385190720836188934noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2860082468328924163.post-32334156433594953082010-08-26T13:06:00.000-07:002010-08-26T13:12:58.725-07:00Choose Your Friends WiselyAssalamu Alaikum,<br /><br /><br />ALLAHSWT tells us in the qur'an that we should not take Christians and Jews as our friends.<br /><br /> O ye who believe! Take not the Jews and the Christians for your friends and protectors: They are but friends and protectors to each other. And he amongst you that turns to them (for friendship) is of them. Verily God guideth not a people unjust.] (Al-Ma’dah 5: 51<br /><br />So, why come is this? If we think for a moment about what being muslim entails we can easily see why this is. As Muslims our religion is a lifestyle. Our lifestyle is VERY different from others. Yes, they could be a nice person, but still they are not muslim and they do not believe in ALLAH. <br /><br />If you know salaat is about to come up you don't have that friend that will remind you to pray, or if you have a problem with lowering your gaze your friend can't tell you to stop looking and talking to men. Its small things.<br /><br /><br />As Muslims, we should surround ourselves around good people who are strong,practicing Muslims. <br /><br />Oh, it can be hard to find some good Muslims, but nonetheless its important to do so.<br /><br />Just recently, I have befriended a Muslimah who lives close to me and we eat suhoor together, break for iftar, and are good friends. We both talk about the same thing. As Muslims, its very difficult to have non-Muslim friends and to expect your iman or faith in ALLAHSWT to increase if you're hanging out with someone who do not believe in ALLAH.Sunnahfollowers Muslimahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16385190720836188934noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2860082468328924163.post-82933864940387961282010-08-24T14:47:00.000-07:002010-08-24T14:53:50.198-07:00Ramadan: SECRET MUSLIMS-GOOD READ FOR EVERYONE!!Assalamu Alaikum,<br /><br /> I just read a post about a young muslima who have not told her parents about her being muslim. She covers her head sometimes, and not all the time. This is not a story that is new to me, or that I haven't heard, but one that I cry at.<br /><br /> We are Muslims. We are not kaffrs. We are the chosen people. We were giving the qur'an-THE TRUTH. When we testify to the shahada we are muslims. Our lives change. Our lifestyle change. Our clothing change(muslimahs). Our friends change. Who we are change. Its not good enough to recite the shahada and call it quits. No, its deeper.<br /><br /> ALLAHSWT tells us in the qur'an that we will be tested with everything dear to us(family, wealth, job, and children,etc). He continues to say, "Do you think you will not be tested like the people before you?". Subhan'ALLAH. As Muslims, we are tested everyday of our lives. Do you think this life is about happiness and bliss? No. We are tested to prove our love to ALLAH. WE are tested to gain the pleasure of ALLAH.<br /><br /> Sisters, you put your hijab on and cover yo naked body. Brothers, wear your beard and do not cut it for it is fard and not sunnah. The ProphetSAW tells the brothers to, "trim the mustache and keep the beard (bukhari)". This is a command from ALLAHSWT! Brothers, keep those beards. <br /><br /> We have to stand firm upon this deen of ALLAHSWT. The qur'an tells us that this dunya(this world) is nothing but amusement and play. ALLAHSWT warns us of this. He tells us this in clear english for the english speaking people. Why do you not take heed?<br /><br /> I am a convert myself and know the struggle. Wallahi, I do, but you must not give up because you are a Muslim. Stand strong and practice the deen as ALLAHSWT commanded of you.<br /><br /> Hold firm to the rope of ALLAH? DO you take your parents dearer than ALLAH? Do you take your wealth dearer than ALLAH? Do you take that job dearer to ALLAH? Fear him, but hold close to him!Sunnahfollowers Muslimahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16385190720836188934noreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2860082468328924163.post-47298213921168310702010-08-18T11:33:00.000-07:002010-08-18T11:48:06.882-07:00Tarawih Prayers are best for MEN at the MosqueAssalamu Alaikum,<br /><br /> Many sisters are quick to run to the mesjid for Tarawih prayers, but indeed tarawih prayers, and just like any other prayer should be prayed at her home. The woman gets more blessings for staying at her home.<br /><br />AllahSWT tells us in the interpretation of the meaning:<br /><br /> <br /><em><strong>"Stay in your houses and do not display your finery like the displaying of the ignorance of yore."<br />[The Quran 33:33</strong></em><br /><br />Sunnah:<br /> Abu Hurairah (May Allah be pleased with him) reported: The Messenger of Allah (PBUH) said, "A man's Salat in congregation is twenty-five times more rewarding than his Salat at home or in his shop, and that is because when he performs his Wudu' properly and proceeds towards the mosque with the purpose of performing Salat in congregation, he does not take a step without being raised a degree (in rank) for it and having a sin remitted for it, till he enters the mosque. When he is performing Salat, the angels continue to invoke Blessings of Allah on him as long as he is in his place of worship in a state of Wudu'. They say: `O Allah! Have mercy on him! O Allah! Forgive him.' He is deemed to be engaged in Salat as long as he waits for it.''<br />[Al-Bukhari and Muslim]. <br /><br />Men are given more blessings for praying together. Not the women. I had a friend ask me if I would like to attend her mesjid and pray tarawih with her, and I told her that I pray tarawih at home. She began to tell me its better for a muslimah to pray in congregation with other muslimahs.<br /><br />SO, is it better for women to pray in the mesjid or at her home?<br /><br />Sunnah from Rasullulah:<br /><br />Prophet SAWS (Peace & Blessings of Allah be upon Him) said:<br />"Do not prevent your women from going to the mosque, even though their houses are better for them." (Abu Dawud)<br /><br />Umm Humayd came to the Prophet SAWS (Peace & Blessings of Allah be upon Him) and said: "O Messenger of Allaah, I love to pray with you." He said: "I know that you love to pray with me, but praying in your house is better for you than praying in your courtyard, and praying in your courtyard is better for you than praying in the mosque of your people, and praying in the mosque of your people is better for you than praying in my mosque." So she ordered that a prayer-place be built for her in the furthest and darkest part of her house, and she always prayed there until she met Allaah (i.e., until she died). (Ahmad)<br /><br />Insha'ALLAH, I hope you understand that as women our homes should be places in which we make our prayers. We should clean our rooms and make it special for when that time of the day comes for our salaats.Sunnahfollowers Muslimahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16385190720836188934noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2860082468328924163.post-40614933768073534322010-08-17T11:57:00.000-07:002010-08-17T12:00:02.936-07:00Pregnant Women Must FASTSalam and Ramadan Mubarak to all,<br /><br /> Many pregnant women believe they do not fast. This is incorrect according to Qur'an and Sunnah. The only time a pregnant woman cannot fast is when a doctor says she can't because of a life and death situation, but otherwise you fast. You do not stop worshiping ALLAH because you're pregnant. Fear ALLAH women, fear ALLAH.<br /><br />Abu Dawood (2318) narrated that Ibn ‘Abbaas said, concerning the verse “And<br />as for those who can fast with difficulty, (e.g. an old man), they have (a<br />choice either to fast or) to feed a Miskeen (poor person) (for every day)”<br />[al-Baqarah 2:184]: This is a concession granted to old men and old women who<br />are able to fast, allowing them to break the fast and to feed one poor person<br />each day instead of fasting. (And this concession is also granted to) pregnant<br />and breastfeeding women, if they fear (harm). Al-Nawawi said: Its isnaad is<br />hasan. <br /><br />Al-Shaafa’i narrated in al-Umm: Maalik told us, narrating from Naafi’, that<br />Ibn ‘Umar was asked about a pregnant woman, if she fears for her child. He<br />said: She should not fast, and she should feed one poor person for each day,<br />giving a mudd of wheat. <br /><br />Alhumdulilah, this is the evidence provided for women who are pregnant or who may become pregnant,insha'ALLAH.<br /><br />Learn your religion at Sunnahfollowers.net with Sister Laila Nasheeba at 3pmEST for Tawheed class..Sunnahfollowers Muslimahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16385190720836188934noreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2860082468328924163.post-20746068865919596732010-08-05T11:05:00.000-07:002010-08-05T11:08:24.333-07:00Ramadan Specials: Sunnahfollower.netAssalamu Alaikum sisters,<br /><br /> Sunnahfollowers.net is offering free classes, and since Ramadahn is here soon there will be Tawheed classes over Ramadan at 3pmEST.

As Muslims, we should stand out. What will happen when we wear the same things, and act the same way as others? We will not be "strange" to them anymore. As lives should be different than from our previous lives of the jahiliya(pre-Islam). As Muslimas, we should not be shaving/plucking our eyebrows, talk to non-mahram men, go to mix parties, being out in the streets, wearing tight clothes outside, and etc. These things are from the Jahiliya. Many of us have probaby been told we were strange because of our choice of clothes, and what we do. This is something you should feel good about because Muslims are different. Islam is our way of life. Islam encompasses ALL aspects of our lives.Sunnahfollowers Muslimahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16385190720836188934noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2860082468328924163.post-72792361231753118832010-07-09T08:38:00.000-07:002010-07-09T08:38:02.784-07:00Beautiful Recitation of Noble Quran<object style="background-image:url(http://i1.ytimg.com/vi/H6ZNPSHnqGk/hqdefault.jpg)" width="425" height="344"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/H6ZNPSHnqGk&hl=en_US&fs=1"><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/H6ZNPSHnqGk&hl=en_US&fs=1" width="425" height="344" allowScriptAccess="never" allowFullScreen="true" wmode="transparent" type="application/x-shockwave-flash"></embed></object>Sunnahfollowers Muslimahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16385190720836188934noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2860082468328924163.post-1936073021807993022010-07-08T09:44:00.000-07:002010-07-08T09:44:57.001-07:00Shirk of the tongue & Riyaa Part 2 of 4 by Laila Nasheeba<object style="background-image:url(http://i4.ytimg.com/vi/37RlwnPUNtA/hqdefault.jpg)" width="480" height="295"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/37RlwnPUNtA&hl=en_US&fs=1"><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/37RlwnPUNtA&hl=en_US&fs=1" width="480" height="295" allowScriptAccess="never" allowFullScreen="true" wmode="transparent" type="application/x-shockwave-flash"></embed></object>Sunnahfollowers Muslimahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16385190720836188934noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2860082468328924163.post-26844738577110195832010-07-08T09:34:00.000-07:002010-07-08T09:34:25.928-07:00Shirk in Love Part 3 of 4 Laila Nasheeba<object style="background-image:url(http://i4.ytimg.com/vi/3xQzSA0LRZ8/hqdefault.jpg)" width="480" height="295"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/3xQzSA0LRZ8&hl=en_US&fs=1"><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/3xQzSA0LRZ8&hl=en_US&fs=1" width="480" height="295" allowScriptAccess="never" allowFullScreen="true" wmode="transparent" type="application/x-shockwave-flash"></embed></object>Sunnahfollowers Muslimahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16385190720836188934noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2860082468328924163.post-70376432737488868202010-07-08T09:26:00.000-07:002010-07-08T09:26:21.508-07:00Shirk in Love Part 2 of 4 Laila Nasheeba<object width="480" height="295"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/2cOd-QYK2P4&hl=en_US&fs=1"><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/2cOd-QYK2P4&hl=en_US&fs=1" width="480" height="295" allowScriptAccess="never" allowFullScreen="true" wmode="transparent" type="application/x-shockwave-flash"></embed></object>Sunnahfollowers Muslimahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16385190720836188934noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2860082468328924163.post-39045226447198495402010-07-07T10:40:00.000-07:002010-07-07T10:40:20.943-07:00Shirk in Fear Part 1 of 2 by Laila Nasheeba<object style="background-image:url(http://i2.ytimg.com/vi/1BNlqmSI5PA/hqdefault.jpg)" width="480" height="295"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/1BNlqmSI5PA&hl=en_US&fs=1"><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/1BNlqmSI5PA&hl=en_US&fs=1" width="480" height="295" allowScriptAccess="never" allowFullScreen="true" wmode="transparent" type="application/x-shockwave-flash"></embed></object><br /><br />Assalamu Alaikum,<br /><br /> Shirk is a very, very very serious issue in Islam.

When looking at the state of affairs concerning our ummah, we can see that the some Muslimas are not covering themselves, but if they are they are wearing their scarves with tight clothing. Men are not wearing their fard beards, but shaving them off. Some Muslims are celebrating Easter, Christmas, and other kufr's holidays. As new Muslims and born-Muslims it is very important to remember that Islam have NOTHING to do with Christianity, Judaism, Hinduism, and etc. Islam is not based off of anything but the Qur'an and Sunnah.Sunnahfollowers Muslimahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16385190720836188934noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2860082468328924163.post-27765991903718962562010-07-01T14:24:00.000-07:002010-07-01T14:25:53.212-07:00Daleel: Qur'an IS A GREAT WAY TO EARN DEEDS<strong>Chapter 180<br />The Excellence of Reciting the Qur'an</strong><br /><br /><br />991. Abu Umamah (May Allah be pleased with him) reported: I heard the Messenger of Allah (PBUH) saying, "Read the Qur'an, for it will come as an intercessor for its reciters on the Day of Resurrection.''<br />[Muslim].<br /><br />992. An-Nawwas bin Sam`an (May Allah be pleased with him) reported: I heard the Messenger of Allah (PBUH) saying, "The Qur'an and its people who applied it, will be brought on the Day of Resurrection preceded with Surat Al-Baqarah and Surat Al-`Imran arguing on behalf of those who applied them.''<br />[Muslim].<br /><br />993. `Uthman bin `Affan (May Allah be pleased with him) reported: The Messenger of Allah (PBUH) said, "The best amongst you is the one who learns the Qur'an and teaches it.''<br />[Al-Bukhari].<br /><br />994. `Aishah (May Allah be pleased with her) reported: The Messenger of Allah (PBUH) said, "The one who is proficient in the recitation of the Qur'an will be with the honourable and obedient scribes (angels) and he who recites the Qur'an and finds it difficult to recite, doing his best to recite it in the best way possible, will have a double reward.''<br />[Al-Bukhari and Muslim].<br /><br />996. `Umar bin Al-Khattab (May Allah be pleased with him) reported: The Prophet (PBUH) said, "Verily, Allah elevates some people with this Qur'an and abases others.''<br />[Muslim].<br /><br />999. Ibn Mas`ud (May Allah be pleased with him) reported: The Messenger of Allah (PBUH) said, "Whoever recites a letter from the Book of Allah, he will be credited with a good deed, and a good deed gets a ten-fold reward. I do not say that Alif-Lam-Mim is one letter, but Alif is a letter, Lam is a letter and Mim is a letter.''<br />[At-Tirmidhi<br /><br /><br />1000. Ibn `Abbas (May Allah be pleased with them) reported: The Messenger of Allah (PBUH) said, "He who does not memorize any part from the Qur'an he is like the ruined house.''<br />[At-Tirmidhi].<br /><br /><br />1001. `Abdullah bin `Amr bin Al-`As (May Allah be pleased with them) reported: The Prophet (PBUH) said, "The one who was devoted to the the Qur'an will be told on the Day of Resurrection: `Recite and ascend (in ranks) as you used to recite when you were in the world. Your rank will be at the last Ayah you recite.'''<br />[Abu Dawud and At-Tirmidhi].<br /><br /><br /><strong><em>Conclusion:<br /><br />According to the Hadiths explained above, the Qur’an is a beautiful way to earn extra deeds for our Book of Deeds. The way to earning deeds described above is simply by reciting the Qur’an and by teaching the Qur’an to others,insha’ALLAH. Also, its not enough to simply memorize the Qur’an, but to ponder and act upon what is being recited or read. If the Qur’an is hard for you to recite, then alhumdulilah you get double the reward. The recitation of the Qur’an is a beautiful thing for people to learn to do. I do not speak Arabic, but I listen to the recitation of it, or try reading it in Arabic.<br /></em></strong><br />Good place to learn the Qur’an at:<br />www.mounthira.comSunnahfollowers Muslimahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16385190720836188934noreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2860082468328924163.post-15316418206588073412010-06-30T08:51:00.000-07:002010-06-30T08:52:38.232-07:00Daleel: Traveling: Riyad-us SaliheenRiyad-us Saliheen- Etiquette of Traveling<br /> Chapter166: Setting off on Thursdays<br /> <br /><br />956. Ka`b bin Malik (May Allah be pleased with him) reported: The Prophet (PBUH) set out on Thursday for the expedition of Tabuk. He liked to set out on a journey on Thursdays.<br />[Al-Bukhari and Muslim]<br /><br /><br />957. Sakhr bin Wada`ah Al-Ghamidi (May Allah be pleased with him) reported: The Messenger of Allah (PBUH) said, "O Allah! Bless my people in the early part of the day (morning). Whenever he dispatched a detachment or an army-unit, he would dispatch it at the beginning of the day (soon after dawn). The narrator, Sakhr (May Allah be pleased with him) was a merchant, and he used to send off his merchandise at the beginning of the day. So his trade flourished and he made a good fortune.<br />[At-Tirmidhi and Abu Dawud]. <br /><br /><br />In this chapter of hadeeth, we see that the ProphetSAW went on his journeys on Thursdays, and he would leave early after fajr when ALLAHSWT gives the travelers blessings.<br /><br /> Chapter 167<br />The Desirability of undertaking a Journey in a Group and appointing a Leader<br /><br /><br />958. Ibn `Umar (May Allah be pleased with them) reported: The Messenger of Allah (PBUH) said, "Were people to know of what I know about the dangers of travelling alone, no rider would travel alone at night.''<br />[Al-Bukhari]. <br /><br /><br />959. `Amr bin Shu`aib (May Allah be pleased with him) reported: The Messenger of Allah (PBUH) said, "A single rider is (accompanied with) Satan and two riders are (accompanied with) two Satans. Three riders form a group.''<br />[At-Tirmidhi and Abu Dawud]. <br /><br />960. Abu Sa`id Al-Khudri and Abu Hurairah (May Allah be pleased with them) reported: The Messenger of Allah (PBUH) said, "When three persons set out on a journey, they should appoint one of them as their leader.''<br />[Abu Dawud]. <br /><br />961. Ibn `Abbas (May Allah be pleased with them) reported: The Prophet (PBUH) said, "The best number of companions is four; the best detachment is four hundred and the best army is four thousand; and twelve thousand men will not be defeated as a result of smallness of number.''<br />[At-Tirmidhi and Abu Dawud]. <br /><br />In this chapter of Riyad-us Saliheen, The ProphetSAW gives clear instructions of what should occur after setting out onto an expedition or journey. The ProphetSAW tells us that 3 people makes a group while 4 is the best number. He also instructs a group of people to choose a leader in order to maintain organization and stability while on the trip. <br /><br /> Chapter 179<br /> Prohibiting Woman from Traveling Alone<br /><br />989. Abu Hurairah (May Allah be pleased with him) reported: The Messenger of Allah (PBUH) said, "It is not permissible for a woman who believes in Allah and the Last Day to make a journey of one day and night unless she is accompanied by a Mahram (husband or any other relative to whom she is prohibited to marry).''<br />[Al-Bukhari and Muslim]. <br /><br /><br />990. Ibn `Abbas (May Allah be pleased with them) reported: The Prophet (PBUH) said, "No man must not be alone with a woman except in the presence of her (Mahram). No woman should travel except in company of a (Mahram).'' A man said: "O Messenger of Allah! I have been enrolled for such and such expedition, and my wife left for Hajj.'' He (PBUH) said to him, "Go and perform Hajj with your wife.''<br />[Al-Bukhari and Muslim]. <br /><br /><br />Conclusion: The first two chapters discusses the etiquette of traveling in regards to appointing a leader and on what day we should travel on. The last chapter is especially important for the sisters because as women we cannot travel alone except with a mahram.Sunnahfollowers Muslimahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16385190720836188934noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2860082468328924163.post-18344467470823125492010-06-30T07:42:00.001-07:002010-06-30T07:42:41.877-07:00Daleel: Divorce is Lawful and CleanThe following hadith about divorce is not authentic. In fact it is a lie:<br /><br />Ali ibn Abi Taalib (may Allaah be pleased with him), that the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said: “Do not issue divorce, for the Throne shakes because of divorce.” Narrated by Ibn ‘Adiyy in al-Kaamil (5/112) and by al-Khateeb in Tareekh Baghdaad (12/191), and via Ibn al-Jawzi in al-Mawdoo’aat (2/277), via ‘Amr ibn Jumay’ from Juwaybir from al-Dahhaak from al-Nazzaal ibn Sabrah from ‘Ali ibn Abi Taalib (may Allaah be pleased with him). <br /><br />Ibn al-Jawzi said: <br /><br />It is a mawdoo’ (fabricated) hadeeth… ‘Amr ibn Jumay’ used to narrate munkar ahaadeeth from prominent people, and mawdoo’ ahaadeeth from sound narrators. <br /><br />He was as da’eef (weak) and a fabricator by many scholars, including the following: <br /><br />Al-Khateeb al-Baghdaadi in Tareekh Baghdaad (12/187), Ibn al-Qaysaraani in Dhakheerat al-Huffaaz (2/1147), al-Sakhaawi in al-Maqaasid al-Hasanah (p. 31), al-Shawkaani in al-Fawaa’id al-Majmoo’ah (p. 139), al-San’aani and al-‘Ajlooni in Kashf al-Khafa’ (1/361), and al-Albaani in al-Silsilah al-Da’eefah (1/278, hadeeth no. 147). <br /><br />Allah does not hate anything that he made lawful. He only hates that which he made unlawful and the true believer would never make unlawful that which Allah made lawful:<br /><br />'Those who believe do not make unlawful the good things which Allah has made lawful for you, and do not transgress. Allah does not like trangressers" - Muslim<br /><br />Also Everything lawful is good and clean whereas whatever is unlawful is bad and dirty:<br /><br />"Apart from what is lawful and good, all other things are unlawful and not good (unclean Al-Khabith)" - Muslim<br /><br />Whoever tells you that a woman can not seek divorce (Khula) in islam is a liar and needs to fear allah. <br /><br />What islam forbids is seeking a divorce for no reason. If you have a reason then it is lawful. <br /><br />Proof of this is found in the sunnah when the ex wife of Rifa'a Al-Qurazi was granted Khula from her husband by the prophet (sa) - Bukhari<br /><br />Allah is merciful and would never put us in a situation of no way out. Be careful of people who speak about this religion without knowledge and are ignorant enough to challenge those who do have knowledge. <br /><br /><br />Source:<br />Qur'an<br />Sunnah<br />Sunnahfollowers.netSunnahfollowers Muslimahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16385190720836188934noreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2860082468328924163.post-32107632785469198592010-06-29T10:41:00.000-07:002010-06-29T10:42:33.520-07:00Daleel: Staying at Home is Better for WOMENIt is better for women to pray in their houses than to attend congregational prayers. However, they may go to the mosque and attend the congregational prayer if they avoid wearing perfume.<br /><br />Ibn 'Umar reports that the Prophet sallallahu alehi wasallam said: <br /><br />"Do not prevent the women from going to the mosques, although their houses are better for them." <br /><br />Abu Hurairah relates that the Prophet said: <br /><br />"Do not keep the slave girls of Allah from the mosques of Allah. And they are to go out unperfumed." <br /><br />These two ahadith were related by Ahmad and Abu Dawud. <br /><br />Abu Hurairah also reports that the Prophet said: <br /><br />"Any woman who uses some scent should not be present with us during the night prayer." <br /><br />This is related by Muslim, Abu Dawud, and an-Nasa'i with a hasan chain.<br /><br />As stated earlier, it is better for women to pray in their houses. <br /><br />Ahmad and at-Tabarani record that Umm Humaid as-Sa'diyah came to the Messenger of Allah and said: "O Messenger of Allah, I love to pray with you." The Prophet said: "I am aware of that, but your salah in your residence is better for you than your salah in your people's mosque. <br /><br />Source: <br />Qur'an <br />Sunnah<br />Sunnahfollowers.netSunnahfollowers Muslimahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16385190720836188934noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2860082468328924163.post-21630786617278775342010-06-29T10:30:00.000-07:002010-06-29T10:31:34.854-07:00Daleel: Christians and Jews WILL NOT go to HeavenAssalamu Alaikum,<br /><br /> Many Muslims believe that the Christians and jews will be going to heaven, and this is an incorrect against ALLAH and his messenger.<br /><br />“Verily, Allaah forgives not that partners should be set up with Him (in<br />worship), but He forgives except that (anything else) to whom He wills” -<br />Quran 4:48<br /><br />"If anyone desires a religion other than islam (submission to Allah., never will<br />it be accepted of him; and in the Hereafter He will be in the ranks of those who<br />have lost (All spiritual good)." - Quran 3:85<br /><br />"O ye who believe! Fear Allah as He should be feared, and die not except in a<br />state of islam." - Quran 3:102<br /><br />"Verily, those who disbelieve (in the religion of Islam, the Qur’aan and<br />Prophet Muhammad) from among the people of the Scripture (Jews and Christians)<br />and Al-Mushrikoon will abide in the fire of Hell.
