Muslims must help each other




It is mentioned in a Hadeeth (narration) that there are slaves of Allaah the Almighty whom He has assigned for fulfilling the needs of others. He made them love goodness and endeared goodness to them and they will be saved from the torment of Allaah the Almighty on the Day of Judgment. Who are these slaves?


All perfect praise be to Allaah, the Lord of the worlds. I testify that there is none worthy of worship except Allaah, and that Muhammad  sallallaahu `alayhi wa sallam ( may Allaah exalt his mention ) is His Slave and Messenger.
This Hadeeth (narration) was narrated in Al-Mu‘jam Al-Kabeer, compiled by At-Tabaraani  may Allaah have mercy upon him and in Musnad Ash-Shihaab. However, it is a Dha‘eef Hadeeth (weak narration). There are no specific slaves whom Allaah the Almighty distinguished to fulfill others' needs.
There are many Hadeeths that encourage Muslims to help each other. The Prophet  sallallaahu `alayhi wa sallam ( may Allaah exalt his mention ) told us that a Muslim is a brother to his fellow Muslim; he should not wrong nor harm him but rather support him. Anyone who helps his brother accomplish a need or supports him in times of adversity, Allaah the Almighty will soothe him on the Day of Judgment and will grant him peace and safety. [Al-Bukhaari and Muslim]     
There is a Hadeeth in which the Prophet  sallallaahu `alayhi wa sallam ( may Allaah exalt his mention ) told us that anyone who alleviates the worldly suffering of his Muslim brother, Allaah the Almighty will alleviate his fear and hardship on the Day of Judgment; anyone who relieves a Muslim in distressed circumstances, Allaah the Almighty will facilitate matters for him in this worldly life and in the Hereafter; and Allaah the Almighty supports the slave as long as he supports his brother. [Muslim, Ahmad and others]
Consequently, anyone who exerts efforts to help others achieve their needs, based on this encouragement, Allaah the Almighty will ease his difficulties. These efforts will also be a reason for his safety on the Day of Judgment, provided that his intention is to seek the reward of Allaah the Almighty.
And Allaah knows best.

Jumuah Activities

Image
It’s Jumuah! The most blessed day of the week! So how do we make the most of it? Depending whether Friday is a day off for you or not, we’ve covered below some key activities to make most of your Jumuah which you can judge how best to fit in your life insha’Allah. The important thing to remember is that this day is truly special and you should give it due consideration. THE TIMING OF JUMUAH Many people forget that Jumuah starts from the Maghreb of Thursday, i.e. the night before and ends with maghreb of Jumuah. So as soon as the maghreb for Thursday hits, remember it’s Jumuah and you should try and fill up your hours with sending blessings upon the Prophet (Peace and blessings be upon him), recitation of Quran, Tahajjud and extra remembrance of Allah (Subhanahu Wa Ta’ala). THE MORNING HOURS During the early hours of Friday, we recommend you to follow the ProductiveMuslim Morning Routine, with the only difference being that for the reading Quran part, you...

Is Your Name Forbidden? Probably.

Image
Praise be to Allaah. there are names which we are forbidden to use, examples of which are as follows: It is forbidden to use any name which belongs only to Allaah, such as al-Khaaliq (the Creator) and al-Quddoos (the Most Holy), or names which do not befit any except Allaah, such as Malik al-Mulook (King of Kings). This is the consensus of the fuqaha’. Ibn al-Qayyim said that names which belong only to Allaah include: al-Ahad (the One), al-Samad (the Eternal), al-Khaaliq (the Creator), al-Razzaaq (the Provider), al-Jabbaar (the Compeller), al-Mutakabbir (the Majestic), al-Awwal (the First), al-Aakhir (the Last), al-Baatin (the Hidden) and ‘Allaam al-Ghuyoob (the Knower of the Unseen).  ( Tuhfat al-Mawdood , p. 98). The evidence that it is forbidden to call anyone by a name which belongs only to Allaah, such as Malik al-Mulook (king of kings), may be seen for example in the hadeeth narrated by al-Bukhaari and Muslim from Abu Hurayrah (may Allaah be pleased with hi...

Girls wearing pants and skimpy clothes?.

Image
Praise be to Allaah. The definition of the ‘awrah of children, male and female, is something for which there is no clear evidence in the Qur’aan and Sunnah. The view of most of the fuqaha’ is that when a girl reaches the age where she may be desired by those of a sound nature, then her ‘awrah is like that of an adult woman. But if she has not reached that age, then it is permissible to make concessions about her hijab until she does reach that age. Shaykh Ibn ‘Uthaymeen (may Allaah have mercy on him) said: There is no ruling on the ‘awrah of a very young girl, and she does not have to cover her face, neck, hands and feet, and a small girl should not be obliged to do that. But when a girl reaches an age when men could be attracted to her and desire her, then she should observe hijab so as to ward off fitnah and evil. This varies from one woman to another; some of them grow quickly and start looking attractive and others do not.   With regard to wearing skimpy c...
