Assalamu Alaikum,
I haven't posted in a while, but alhumdulilah, I am back.
Sisters, you have to stop posting up personal information on the internet. Posting up your personal information is none of anyone else's business. This does not just apply to blogging sites, but Facebook, Myspace, Xanga, Twitter, or etc. This is not the way of the ProphetSAW or his companions. The bottomline is that no one wants to know,and this only allows people to be all up in your business. For example: If you go telling your girl-friends about you and your husband love life then that sister may get jealous, and may begin wanting your husband, so the next time you come home you see her in your living room as being his other wife. This is very true. Many sisters forget how harmful it is to post up their personal information. Not only this, but sisters we shouldn't be posting up our pictures on the internet without covering ourselves and without hijab. What is this? Many sisters on the internet are taking off their hijabs and clothes. Why are we naked? Subhan'ALLAH, fear ALLAH!

Women's Place in Islam
Assalamu Alaikum wa warahmatullahi wa Barakatuh,
A sister requested a topic discussing a woman's place in Islam.
Ibn 'Umar reports that the Prophet sallallahu alehi wasallam said: "Do not prevent the women from going to the mosques, although their houses are better for them.
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.
Women are advised in the quran as stated:
Men are the protectors and maintainers of women, because Allaah has made one of them to excel the other, and because they spend (to support them) from their means. Therefore the righteous women are devoutly obedient (to Allaah and to their husbands), and guard in the husbands absence what Allaah orders them to guard (e.g. their chastity and their husbands property). As to those women on whose part you see ill‑conduct, admonish them (first), (next) refuse to share their beds, (and last) beat them (lightly, if it is useful); but if they return to obedience, seek not against them means (of annoyance). Surely, Allaah is Ever Most High, Most Great [al-Nisa 4:34]
The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said: If I were to command anyone to prostrate to anyone other than Allaah, I would have commanded women to prostrate to their husbands. [Narrated by Ibn Maajah, 1853; classed as saheeh by al-Albaani in Saheeh Ibn Maajah]
Makeup is HALAL and NOT HARAAM
Assalamu Alaikum,
Kohl, or eyeliner is not forbidden for women to wear in Islam. There is not a hadith that forbids a woman from wearing kohl.
The Prophet (peace be upon him) said:
Wear your white garments, for they are among your best garments, and shroud your dead in them. Among the best types of collyrium you use is antimony (Khol) it clears the vision and makes the hair sprout. [Dauod]
The Prophet (peace be upon him) said,
"Apply antimony, for it clears the sight and makes the hair grow." And he asserted that the Prophet had a collyrium-case from which he applied collyrium every night in three times each eye.

Taking Your Husband's Last Name
Assalamu Alaikum,
Many women follow the way of many women from different cultures and faiths and take the name of their husbands which is incorrect.
Allah says in the interpretation of the meaning:
"Call them by (the names of) their fathers: that is juster in the sight of Allah. But if ye know not their father's (names, call them) your Brothers in faith, or your maulas. But there is no blame on you if ye make a mistake therein: (what counts is) the intention of your hearts: and Allah is Oft-Returning, Most Merciful." - Quran 33:5
"Prophet (saw) said, "One who claims that someone is his father and knows that it is not true will be forbidden of paradise" (Sahih al-Jami )

The Blessings of Staying at Home
know alot of sisters like to visit the mesjid frequently, but you do not gain as many blessings as you would if you were at your home.
Ibn 'Umar reports that the Prophet sallallahu alehi wasallam said:
"Do not prevent the women from going to the mosques, although their houses are better for them."
Abu Hurairah relates that the Prophet said:
"Do not keep the slave girls of Allah from the mosques of Allah. And they are to go out unperfumed."
These two ahadith were related by Ahmad and Abu Dawud.
Abu Hurairah also reports that the Prophet said:
"Any woman who uses some scent should not be present with us during the night prayer."
This is related by Muslim, Abu Dawud, and an-Nasa'i with a hasan chain.
As stated earlier, it is better for women to pray in their houses.
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.

Are You Chasing The Dunya, the world?
Assalamu Alaikum,
This is a story I read a while ago about an old man who saw a fully-veiled woman in black. This woman would show up here and there and this man would chase her. When the time for salaat came, he would miss it because he would chase after this fully veiled woman. This woman caught his eye and he couldn't keep from her. So eventually he would follow her back to her home. When he arrived the sound for prayer came again, but he didn't listen to its call. The woman unveiled herself and she was old and creepy. This woman said, "Well, I'm here for you. You've been chasing me for so long. You have missed prayer for me. I'm the Dunya".
The moral of this story is simple: Don't follow blindly and this world is only an illusion. Do your duties as an individual now, and don't be foolish enough to believe that this world has anything good enough to give to you. This dunya is only an illusion for its lovers.
Like the phrase goes, "The dunya is paradise for the unbelievers and hell for the believers."
Fitna can be easily as being trouble, or strife. The dunya, or the world can be considered fitna. Fitna is apparent inside of the dunya. The dunya itself isn't a problem because many individuals are able to live within it without any problem, but the problem is how to understand how to live within it. Living for the dunya and living in the dunya are two separate things.
Living in the dunya is simply categorized as living within it for living purposes or etc.
Living for the dunya can be categorized as loving the dunya because of its luxuries, its wealth, its lusts, its pleasures, and etc.

Wearing Jewelry and Makeup is NOT haraam!
Assalamu Alaikum,
A sister yesterday told the Islamic class I attended that her husband or father-in-law believes that wearing earrings is haraam for women in public because its beautification.
Many sisters also believe that wearing makeup is haraam outside the house.
I have hadiths that will ease the pain of women feeling as if these two items are in the haraam.
Ibn Abbas said, Allah's Apostle went out and offered the Id prayed and then delivered the sermon. "Then the ProphetSAW went to the women and instructed them and gave them religious advice and ordered them to give alms and I saw them reaching out(their hands to) their ears and necks(to take off their earrings and necklaces,etc) and throwing (it) towards Bilal. Then the ProphetSAW returned to his house with Bilal-Bukhari
The Prophet (peace be upon him) said:
Wear your white garments, for they are among your best garments, and shroud your dead in them. Among the best types of collyrium you use is antimony (Khol) it clears the vision and makes the hair sprout. [Dauod]
The Prophet (peace be upon him) said,
"Apply antimony, for it clears the sight and makes the hair grow." And he asserted that the Prophet had a collyrium-case from which he applied collyrium every night in three times each eye.
[Tirmidhi transmitted it]
When the Prophet(sa) had revealed to the people that when making hajj, if one has not brought the sacrificial animals with them, they should put off ihram and treat the hajj as an umrah, Ali came from the Yemen with the sacrificial animals for the Prophet (peace be upon him) and found Fatimah (Allah be pleased with her) to be one among those who had put off Ihram and had put on dyed clothes and had applied antimony. He (Ali) showed disapproval to it, whereupon she said: My father has commanded me to do this. [Muslim]
"The lawful is clear and the unlawful is clear..." [Bukhari and Muslim
Insha'ALLAH, I hope I have answered some questions that were regarding makeup and earrings outside of the home.
