Assalamu Alaikum,

Check it out at:
www.laurentheniqaabi.blogspot.com
Or just put in Lauretheniqaabi in the google search engine, inshaALLAH
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.
Wa alaikum salaam for now

Choose Your Friends Wisely
Assalamu Alaikum,
ALLAHSWT tells us in the qur'an that we should not take Christians and Jews as our friends.
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
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.
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.
As Muslims, we should surround ourselves around good people who are strong,practicing Muslims.
Oh, it can be hard to find some good Muslims, but nonetheless its important to do so.
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.

Ramadan: SECRET MUSLIMS-GOOD READ FOR EVERYONE!!
Assalamu Alaikum,
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.
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.
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.
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.
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?
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.
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!

Tarawih Prayers are best for MEN at the Mosque
Assalamu Alaikum,
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.
AllahSWT tells us in the interpretation of the meaning:
"Stay in your houses and do not display your finery like the displaying of the ignorance of yore."
[The Quran 33:33
Sunnah:
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.''
[Al-Bukhari and Muslim].
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.
SO, is it better for women to pray in the mesjid or at her home?
Sunnah from Rasullulah:
Prophet SAWS (Peace & Blessings of Allah be upon Him) said:
"Do not prevent your women from going to the mosque, even though their houses are better for them." (Abu Dawud)
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)
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.

Pregnant Women Must FAST
Salam and Ramadan Mubarak to all,
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.
Abu Dawood (2318) narrated that Ibn ‘Abbaas said, concerning the verse “And
as for those who can fast with difficulty, (e.g. an old man), they have (a
choice either to fast or) to feed a Miskeen (poor person) (for every day)”
[al-Baqarah 2:184]: This is a concession granted to old men and old women who
are able to fast, allowing them to break the fast and to feed one poor person
each day instead of fasting. (And this concession is also granted to) pregnant
and breastfeeding women, if they fear (harm). Al-Nawawi said: Its isnaad is
hasan.
Al-Shaafa’i narrated in al-Umm: Maalik told us, narrating from Naafi’, that
Ibn ‘Umar was asked about a pregnant woman, if she fears for her child. He
said: She should not fast, and she should feed one poor person for each day,
giving a mudd of wheat.
Alhumdulilah, this is the evidence provided for women who are pregnant or who may become pregnant,insha'ALLAH.

What Is Some Advice for New Shahadas?
Assalamu Alaikum,
There are new Muslimas coming into Islam everyday, so what is your advice to them,insha'ALLAH?
What would you say to Muslimas having problems with putting on covering clothes and hijab/and or niqab?
Help inspire your fellow sister in Islam!
As a convert myself, I believe that sisters need to be strong and stand up for Islam. The Qur'an tells us that we will be tested and that saying the shahada do not make us believers but only Muslims.
Pull it together new shahadas and hold onto the rope of ISLAM. Let Islam be your hope, your life, and your EVERYTHING...
Show your LORD that you are deserving of YOUR LORD.
WE ARE ALL TESTED BY ALLAHSWT...being a Muslim means struggling for his sake

Salam Sisters, Do you have hijab or niqab stories,insha'ALLAH?
Assalamu Alaikum sisters,
If there any sisters that have niqab or hijab stories,then insha'ALLAH come and share them with other sisters? I highly encourage all the sisters to wear hijab because its a commandment from ALLAHSWT and you do not know when he will take your life. Niqab is not fard, or a must from ALLAHSWT, but you can wear it because as women we have this option.
I converted about 3 years ago, and have worn hijab ever since, so if you would like to tell your story then insha'ALLAH, post them up.

OhMuslimas, BE DIFFERENT
Assalamu Alaikum,
I know many Muslimas, especially the Muslimas in America want to fit in, and wear the same things as Non-Muslim american girls. 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.

Shirk in Fear Part 1 of 2 by Laila Nasheeba
Assalamu Alaikum,
Shirk is a very, very very serious issue in Islam. Sometimes we can shirk simply by fearing to do as ALLAHSWT says because of what our family, friends, or strangers may believer. Shirk means associating partners with ALLAH.
Assalamu Alaikum
This is a very good video over Fitna of Desires. Its good to understand that our desires should not stop us from doing what is right. Our desires can get the best of us. As Muslims, our desires should not stop us from being just and correct in our thinking.
As Muslims, we should be mindful of our desires, and to not allow them to decrease our iman. When we follow our desires, we can lose sight of the truth.

Islam Is Our Way Of Life
Assalamu ALaikum,
Islam is our way of life that shouldn't be measured by the Kufr's way of life. 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.

Daleel: Qur'an IS A GREAT WAY TO EARN DEEDS
Chapter 180
The Excellence of Reciting the Qur'an
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.''
[Muslim].
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.''
[Muslim].
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.''
[Al-Bukhari].
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.''
[Al-Bukhari and Muslim].
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.''
[Muslim].
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.''
[At-Tirmidhi
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.''
[At-Tirmidhi].
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.'''
[Abu Dawud and At-Tirmidhi].
Conclusion:
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.
