A good character is considered charity in Islam
The fear of poverty is never considered an excuse or justification for abortion
Up until 40 days after conception, abortion is permitted under clearly legitimate reasons, such as rape or the physical and mental inability to raise the children
Up until 120 days after conception, abortion is only permitted if there is a pressing circumstance, such as rape or extreme fetal deformity incompatible with life
Gratitude is not shown in words, rather to show gratitude to Allah is with actions
Beards also prolong the life of skin cells, preserve the freshness of the face, delay the symptoms of aging, prevent against skin cancer
Do not curse the idols of those who call on other than Allah, because they in turn will curse Allah, out of ignorance
In other words you cause then to curse Allah by cursing the things that they hold sacred
Just tell them about God, forget about their idols, tell them about Allah
Every group thinks that what they're doing is good
We're letting other people define who we are
"We make each group think that what they're doing is right"
There is no coercion in this Religion
We're not out to convert the world, our own book tells us that it cannot be done. Rather we are just here to inform people
Muslims have to be creative, tell people who you are
We are purer in Christianity than the Christians themselves
Eid is a day of eating yes, but it is not a day of gluttony
When you are giving a gift to Allah, do not rush in it
Charity begins at home
The one who does not thank the people has not thanked Allah
The highest level of gratitude is when you put it into action
Whoever has done good to you then return the favor
The only thing I look forward to in my day is for the prayer times to commence, I'M SOO EXCITED 😊
Disobedience in and of itself does not cause a person to be a disbeliever
Sin does not make a person a disbeliever
Attributing to Allah error is where the disbelief takes place
The turning back to Allah in repentance is one of the greatest acts of worship
The creation of Iblees is not for the trick, but for the good that came from the trick
Our attitudes makes statements, and sometimes these are more powerful than what we actually say
Allah designed ethical principles for the sake of practicality
This whole universe worships Allah SWT
The only two creatures who have choice are humans and Jinn
These signs that Allah Almighty sends from time to time, they don't happen for the death or life of any human being. However Allah uses them so that people may fear Him. Therefore if you see any of these signs then rush to the remembrance of Allah, and His Dua and His repentance to Him
The beauty of Islam is that it doesn't say turn away from the world, it says be in the world like a stranger
No soul shall bear the burden of another, except if you are connected to that
Our response is "you don't know what love is" you may love Jesus but our love for Prophet Muhammad SAWS is way more
Yaqoob Ibn Isaac Ibn Ibrahim
All these concepts belong to Islam
Interest is an impediment to the distribution of wealth
Don't underestimate the power of the Dawah
A kafir does not believe that Allah made him
His disbelief is his disobedience
The job of the Shaytan is to make us feel that there is no hope
Ask for forgiveness and consider it done
A Muslim is one who teaches others how to live in his death, and how to die in his life
If you open the doors to that which is permissible people will break them
The Shariah is based upon norms, not exceptions
Maybe you can control yourself but not everybody can
Allah created us between the angels and the human beings
The animals were created before us
Don't joke about anything relating to Allah. May Allah forgive me
Islam has the solutions to your problems, the problem is that we don't want to follow the solution
Ask Allah's forgiveness, He loves you
The actual level of Iman is inversely proportional to the level of Iman that you actually have
In other words
The more Iman you actually have, the less Iman you think you have. The less Iman you have the more confident you are that you have a lot of iman
As long as You are not angry with me then I don't care
Even if the near has rejected you, the far shall accept you
Revelation came down for the sake of guidance
It is makrooh to mention the name of Allaah in the place where one relieves oneself, out of respect for the name of Allaah so that His name will not be mentioned in a place of impurity which is the abode of the devils.
It is makrooh to recite dhikr and to speak when relieving oneself, whether that is in the desert or inside a building. All kinds of dhikr and speech are the same in this regard, except in cases of necessity. Some of our companions even say that if a person sneezes (in the bathroom), he should not say “al-hamdu Lillah”, and one should not say “yarhamuk-Allaah” to a person who sneezes, or return the greeting of salaam, or respond to the muezzin in the bathroom. All of that is makrooh but is not haraam. If a person sneezes and praises Allaah in his heart without moving his tongue, there is nothing wrong with that. The same applies when having intercourse
Based on this, if the place where you do wudoo’ is inside the bathroom – which is the place for relieving oneself and is not used for washing only – then it is makrooh to utter the name of Allaah in this place, even though it is prescribed to say Bismillaah (when doing wudoo’). Some of the scholars say that a person should say Bismillaah in his heart without uttering it on his tongue.
So you're rejecting Religion for being a man made myth but yet you're willing to make a myth yourself
People who suffer the most should be the most susceptible to not believing in God, however we find the opposite
People have a tendency to accept or reject beliefs based on the representatives
How do you determine an ideology based on what people say about it?
Everyone is born by nature Muslims, their parents make them Jews, Christians...
Never interrupt when a person is talking
Allah has given us one tongue but two ears, so let us listen more then we speak
I wasn't the one taking care of them, Allah was
Ego comes from when someone doesn't truly appreciate Who Allah is
I don't have to prove nothing to nobody. I already know what I am
The council of the Religion is not for anybody else... Only yourself
One of the goals of the Shariah is to preserve the Religion
And the only way that we can preserve the Religion is by compiling the Qur'an into a book, even if our Rasulullah SAW did not do so
Allah's laws have a divine wisdom and purpose to them
They are not just random laws that are put there to make life difficult for us
There are five primary goals in which the Shariah revolves around
1. The protection of Religion- every single person must worship Allah properly to their level. Nobody can infringe on that right to worship Allah. Nothing can come between you and the worship of Allah. If anything does so it must be eliminated.
2. The protection of human life- No person has the right to challenge your life and its existence on an individual level. No human being has the right to inflict harm on your personal, unless of course it is in self defense. But on an individual level your life is sacred
3. The protection of intellect and sanity-Your intellect cannot be impeded upon. How so? By allowing certain things that are not harmful, and prohibiting things that are harmful. The Shariah has prohibited things that harm the brain. Such as drugs. Allah wants us to think and use our minds in an appropriate manner
4. The protection of progeny- Our children are sacred. Nobody has the right to take them away from us to harm them. Because of this Allah has encouraged families. He's encouraged marriage. He's encouraged having children. And He has prohibited every avenue that destroys marriage, such as fornication. Anything that goes against the sanctity of family has been forbidden. Allah wants us to have children, to take care of them, and to love them. So He's legislated upon us to take care of them.
5. The protection of property and wealth- What you own that you have acquired legitimately, nobody has the right to acquire illegitimately
The Magna Carta- one of the most significant documents in western history. For the first time in western civilization the people forced the king to listen to a law that is higher than the king
Initially, for thousands of years the king was the law
John Locke- British philosopher, avid reader
The concept of rights being unalienable is not a western concept, it is an Islamic concept
Islamic law in general helped influence specific European intellectuals, philosophers and thinkers
There is no denying that the western concept of freedom has now degenerated in ways that the founding fathers would object to. And freedom has now become hedonism, the pursue of one's sensual desires
This concept of freedom has become a free for all
Men their biggest weakness is womem. Women are oblivious to this weakness of men
Think good about people, be merciful to them, and your heart will be at ease
If you do not fear Allah, you begin to fear everything besides Allah. If you transgressed against Allah you begin to become worried about the people, you begin to become worried about the rest
-there cannot be no lying
-no joke can have anything that is haram in it
-you cannot terrify a person
Our muscles if they're not worked, if they're not exercised. They start losing the ability to function
Like if you keep your eyes closed for five years you're probably going to open them blind
The ability to accept guidance, the ability to reason in a fair way, an unbiased way, is a God-given muscle
An atheist could be an atheist for philosophical reasons or for psychological reasons. We don't know what's going on inside somebody's heart
We do not have access to know who's heart is sealed or whose isn't
Just because He speaks with authority does not give me the right to
So when He is angry with a group of people that doesn't translate into you should be angry with them
God is actually extremely angry at the idea that a son be attributed to Him in Islamic faith
This is something that offends him in our revelation
They perform Christian prayers inside the Mosque
We already have revelation that this angers God
But Allah, He has the right to be angry
His anger does not translate into my anger
We're still supposed to be the best that we possibly can be
They're still our brothers and sisters in humqnity
He speaks from his position of authority, we have to read the Quran as slaves, not as masters
Don't debate with people
Go get some pizza with them
You have a friend who doesn't believe in God, He's not evil
Just because he's an atheist he's a human being, he's a dignified human being
Every human being has dignity, you don't know how they can turn around
You're not just there to preach to people, you have to be a descent human being first
What you didn't hear properly you won't be able to say properly
If you don't listen carefully you won't be able to say properly
When Munkar and Nakir comes to your grave, the only people that will be able to answer properly are those who listened in this world
"The worse kind of animals are the ones who can't speak
The beginner's mind is a wonderful mind they say because the beginner is always present. They are so worried in getting it right
They are so present because they have the beginner's mind
Most people are sleep walking through life
Sexual intimacy is allowed and highly favored in Islam
Such as, having the sincere intention in indulging in sexual intimacy with our spouse as an act of obedience to our creator
As well as to reproduce children and to increase the number of the Muslims
The two spouses should go into a private room and close the doors to make sure that no one, not even a small child will be able to watch them
Covering one's private parts in front of everyone except one's own spouses is an important obligation in Islam
The two spouses should adorn and beautify themselves for one another
The two spouses should indulge in various acts of foreplay
The man should not rush into intercourse
The Prophet SAWS forbade everyone from engaging in sexual intercourse without foreplay
It is recommended for the man to caress his wife prior to having intercourse
Men get aroused very easily
Allah has created women in a way that they take time to get aroused
A man should rush to fulfill his wife's desires and a woman should rush to fulfill her husband's desires
It is permissible to approach one's wife from any side
From any position that they personally prefer, provided that he has intercourse with his wife only through her vagina
Because this is the only way for the seeds to be cultivated and for her to conceive
If the man climaxes it is important to make sure that he continues until the wife climaxes
The little devils are there but sometimes we become devils ourselves
The knowledge that you are acquiring is not to add to your humility but to take away your humility
It seems like you're only doing this stuff so that you can outdo someone else in debate
The nonbeliever acquires an education to put a title next to his name
The knowledge of the deen, the more knowledge you have the more humble you are
Humble yourself to people who have knowledge
So as something happens we react based on how we were taught to react
There are so many occasions in the life of Muhammad SAWS in which things have happened in which he reacted in a way that we would not react if we were faced with the same
Yes we are not Prophets but we cannot use that to justify the distance and the method of Rasulullah SAWS
If someone intentionally leaves out SAWS there's a curse on that person
Develop your relationship with Allah, and then be polite to the rest of the people
The Prophet SAWS was not vulgar, he was not abusive, he was not hurtful with the words he used
We use hurtful words, not even as a reaction, but as an action to begin with
Become more conscious with the way you use your words, it will solve a lot of your problems
When you die people will remember you because you made them feel good
When a calamity strikes you have to confirm your closeness with Allah and affirm that to Him you will return
You have to be convinced
You know how to react because if you react wrongly it's going to become dangerous
When you get news that is very important you don't just broadcast it
"Don't give our enemies a chance to laugh at us"
So we don't want to say anything besides they're ignorant
The Muslims are being killed more than anything else
When you see negativity please react in a positive way
They will only be making a fool of themselves, they will only be mocking themselves
Let's learn not to react in a negative way to anything that happens to us
Allah is not going to ask you why didn't you unite the Ummah, He's going to ask you what did you do in your capacity?
What did you do with the knowledge that I gave you?
The early morning times are blessed, from Fajr until sunrise
If you have a lot of knowledge does not mean that you have wisdom
Allah teaches them the book and the wisdom
The sunnah is the practical application of the knowledge of the Quran
Allah says "We gave him wisdom" meaning, he lived his life in a certain way
He lived his life telling himself over and over "be grateful"
The definition of "nigger or nigga" is black slave. The Prophet Muhammad has some black in him because his father Ibrahim married Haajar, who was a black woman, and had a child with her, Ismail, and the Prophet PBUH is a descendant from Ismail. As for "slave", is he not the best slave of Allah?
So it's not sinful when I refer to the holy Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam as "ngga"
I just can't be like GET THAT NIGGER! When referring to him. And I certainly cannot refer to Allah as "ngga" or anything of the like. To Him belongs all the perfect names and attributes
Worrying about tomorrow does not do anything but sapping today's happiness
Everything there is a balance that needs to be struck
We enjoy happy moments, but sometimes you have to come back, you have to face sad moments, you have to face trying moments
A believer is an individual who believes in Allah, a believer is an individual who has placed his trust in Allah
The Quran is relatable to each and every single one of us
Ibrahim AS was thrown into a literal fire, we are thrown into a metaphorical fire. A fire of stress etc...
How many of us are being swallowed by the sea monster of debt? Health difficulty, financial difficulty, etc...
We need to behave like the Prophets did when all these hardships really happened to them
And how did they behave? They placed their trust in Allah and they did not lose hope
To place your trust in Allah entirely, this is Tawakul
Ibrahim AS said "the best day of my life were the days when I was in that fire"
Likewise when you are being hurled into metaphorical fires place your trust in Allah
We need to perfect and improve our trust unto Allah SWT
It was decreed by Allah 50,000 years ago
The Day of Judgement will last for 50,000 years
For the pious Muslim it will only feel as long as it takes to do an obligatory prayer
Do you think Allah cannot make a pen talk? It is nothing!
It is Allah Who is putting you through it, accept it
Do not worry about the future
As long as you stand up for the truth you have nothing to worry about, you have Allah on your side
You are at one segment of your timeline, Allah has access to your entire timeline
Based on this one pixel don't question the decree of Allah
You will not understand and you will never understand the infinite wisdom of Allah SWT
You need to tie your camel and place your trust in Allah
Why are people in Africa starving? It is because of us human beings interfering Allah provides for His creation.
Do not give into worry, do not give into despair, do not give into sadness because this is what the devil wants you to do
The minute that you give into despair the devil rejoices
Take hold of the resources you have, and work hard, and Allah will bless you with a good life in this world as well as in the hereafter
