Very beneficial book by Sheikh AbdulMuhsin Al-Abbad حفظه الله

Use this book to help prepare you for tomorrow the day of Arafah.

Where The Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, said, “The best supplication is that which is made on the day of Arafat.The best of it is what was said by myself and the Prophets before me, ‘There is no God but Allah alone, without any partners, unto Him belongs the dominion and all praise, and He has power over all things.’”

"So what does a woman desire, whether it is her worldly affairs or her Hereafter, when she displays herself, when she reveals her beauty, when she intermingles with men, and when she purposely tries to put them to trial and get their attention.

What good does she desire with these types of actions, and what type of virtue does she hope for?! Certainly, it is, by Allāh a tremendous loss, major evil, and widespread trial. [...]"

Be Patient Against Abuse

Prophet Muḥammad Ṣallallāhu-'Alaihi Wa Sallam said:

“And if a person reviles you and dishonors you with what he knows of you then DO NOT degrade him (back) with what you know of him for the curse (of abuse) will ONLY BE UPON HIM.”

[سنن أبي داود ٤٠٨٤ ، صححه الألباني]

Shaykh Muḥammad Ibn Ṣāliḥ al-‘Uthaymīn رحمه الله said: "Indeed knowledge is from the best acts of worship and is one of the greatest and most beneficial of it. Hence, you will find Shayṭān keeping people away from (seeking) knowledge."

‎ [فتاوى نور على الدرب ١٢/٢]

Sheikh al Fawzan حفظه الله said,

"It's Impermissible to rock back and forward when reading Qur'an, that is from habits of People of the Book (i.e Jews).”

[Al Ijabat al Muhimmah pg. 88]

Now that the sun is coming out...

Sadly, there are also those who encourage our sisters to loosen their hijabs, and compromise the conditions of the Legislated Hijab because of the heat of the Summer.

⚠️ 𝗦𝗶𝘀𝘁𝗲𝗿𝘀, 𝗥𝗲𝗺𝗲𝗺𝗯𝗲𝗿 𝘁𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗳𝗶𝗿𝗲 𝗼𝗳 𝗝𝗮𝗵𝗮𝗻𝗻𝗮𝗺 𝗶𝘀 𝗵𝗼𝘁𝘁𝗲𝗿 𝘁𝗵𝗮𝗻 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗵𝗲𝗮𝘁 𝘄𝗲 𝗺𝗮𝘆 𝗳𝗲𝗲𝗹 𝗼𝗻 𝘁𝗵𝗶𝘀 𝗱𝘂𝗻𝘆𝗮!

Those who discourage others in fulfilling their rights towards Allāh because it may cause inconvenience, and laugh at those who strive to continue to obey Allāh to the best of their ability in such conditions such as severe heat, know that this is the characteristic of the hypocrites!

TOP TIPS📌:

- Stay in your house!
- If necessary to leave the house, cover all parts of your body adhering to the correct hijab.
- Wear SPF 15+ even if you are wearing the niqab.
- Wear lighter fabrics that are breathable and extra loose.
- Stay hydrated

May Allāh make every drop of sweat that comes out of our skin due to observing the correct jilbab in the heat heavy on our scales on the day of judgement.

Shaykh Saalih ibn al-Fawzaan al-Fawzaan (hafidhaullaah) said:

“Knowledge cannot be acquired except through learning, and learning requires care and attention, and effort, and time, and it requires understanding, and it requires attentiveness of the heart – this is learning.”

[Sharh al-Usool ith-Thalaathah]
