It's got 2 floors, upstairs is outdoors, and it looks out to the sea. Downstairs, they've music, and they do not turn it off, but they'll lower it.

Upstairs, (outdoors), there's no music.

Food is pricey. Portion sizes are normal.
No partitions, open seating.

❄️ PLAYLIST - “The Path to Cultivation of the Family in Islam” - SalafiPublications Winter Conference 2024

🎧 https://www.salafisounds.com/winter-conference-2024/

Must listen, very beneficial.

Just saw a cooking video where a practicing Muslim woman was using 'wand shaped' salt and pepper shakers.

It almost looked like she was using her wand to magically transform the food. I feel she might not know how it's coming across or she thinks they're cute, but subhaanAllaah she'll be unknowingly "starting a (bad) trend". We all know magic is haraam, it is connected to the shayateen of Jinn, and any promotion of it, or showing it with a positive note, is also incorrect.

This is also how Bid'ah and misguidance starts, very small (and seemingly innocent); but we've got to be very careful, sisters (with what we're posting and what our children are watching), and think multiple times before we promote anything, especially, on social media.

Al-Anfal 8:2

إِنَّمَا ٱلْمُؤْمِنُونَ ٱلَّذِينَ إِذَا ذُكِرَ ٱللَّهُ وَجِلَتْ قُلُوبُهُمْ وَإِذَا تُلِيَتْ عَلَيْهِمْ ءَايَٰتُهُۥ زَادَتْهُمْ إِيمَٰنًا وَعَلَىٰ رَبِّهِمْ يَتَوَكَّلُونَ

The believers are only those who, when Allâh is mentioned, feel a fear in their hearts and when His Verses (this Qur’ân) are recited unto them, they (i.e. the Verses) increase their Faith; and they put their trust in their Lord (Alone);

⚠️ [Shaytan Threatens You with Poverty]

🔘Allah (ﷻ) said:

﴿ ٱلشَّیۡطَـٰنُ یَعِدُكُمُ ٱلۡفَقۡرَ وَیَأۡمُرُكُم بِٱلۡفَحۡشَاۤءِۖ وَٱللَّهُ یَعِدُكُم مَّغۡفِرَةࣰ مِّنۡهُ وَفَضۡلࣰاۗ وَٱللَّهُ وَ ٰ⁠سِعٌ عَلِیمࣱ﴾

“Satan threatens you with poverty and commands you to immorality, while Allah promises you forgiveness from Him and bounty. And Allah is all-Encompassing and all-Knowing.” [Surah Al-Baqarah: 268]

⭐️Sufyan al-Thawri said:

لَيْسَ لِلشَّيْطَانِ سِلَاحٌ عَلَى الإِنْسَانِ مِثْلُ خَوْفِ الفَقْرِ، فَإِذَا قَبِلَ ذَلِكَ مِنْهُ أَخَذَ فِي البَاطِلِ وَمَنَعَ مِنَ الحَقِّ وَتَكَلَّمَ بِالْهَوَى وَظَنَّ بِرَبِّهِ السُّوءَ، وَهُوَ مِنْ أَعْظَمِ الآفَاتِ عَلَى الدِّينِ.

“Satan has no weapon against a person like the fear of poverty. When someone accepts that from him, they start engaging in falsehood, withholding from the truth, speaking based on desires, and thinking ill of their Lord. This is one of the greatest afflictions upon religion.”

🔥It is reported that Shaytan says:

ما غَلَبَنِي ابنُ آدَمَ فَلَنْ يَغْلِبَنِي فِي ثَلَاثٍ، آمُرُهُ أَنْ يَأْخُذَ المَالَ مِنْ غَيْرِ حَقِّهِ وَيُنْفِقَهُ فِي غَيْرِ حَقِّهِ وَيَمْنَعَهُ مِنْ مُسْتَحِقِّهِ.

“The son of Adam will never overpower me in three things: I command him to take wealth unjustly, to spend it unjustly, and to withhold it from those who are deserving of it.”

📚 [Mawārid al-ẓamʾān li-durūs al-zamān, khuṭab wa-ḥikam wa-aḥkām wa-qawāʿid wa-mawāʿiẓ wa-ādāb wa-akhlāq ḥisān (4/598)].

🖊️ Imam Burhan Al-Dīn al Biqā’ī (d. 885 AH رحمه الله) said:

كَأنَّهُ قالَ: هَذا ما لا يُشَكُّ فِيهِ فَما لِلنُّفُوسِ لا تُوجَدُ غالِبًا إلّا شَحِيحَةً بِالإنْفاقِ-:

It is as if Allah (ﷻ) is saying [in the verse]: This [the reward of spending mentioned in the previous verse] is something that is not to be doubted, so why do souls not usually act except with stinginess in spending?

﴿الشَّيْطانُ﴾ أيِ الَّذِي اسْمُهُ أسْوَأُ الأسْماءِ، فَإنَّهُ يَقْتَضِي الهَلاكَ والبُعْدَ، وأحَدُ الوَصْفَيْنِ كافٍ في مُجانَبَتِهِ فَكَيْفَ إذا اجْتَمَعا!

[The reason is:] “Satan”—the one whose name is the worst of names, as it implies destruction and distance (from Allah’s mercy). Either of these characteristics alone would be enough to warrant avoiding him, so how much more so when both are combined!

﴿يَعِدُكُمُ الفَقْرَ﴾ المانِعَ مِنَ الإنْفاقِ. قالَ الحَرالِّيُّ: الَّذِي لِخَوْفِهِ تَقاطَعَ أهْلُ الدُّنْيا وتَدابَرُوا وحَرَصُوا وادَّخَرُوا.

He threatens you with poverty—the poverty that prevents one from spending. Al-Harali said: It is this fear of poverty that causes the people of the world to sever ties, turn against one another, become greedy, and hoard wealth.

وكُلُّ ذَلِكَ لا يُزِيلُ الفَقْرَ، كُلُّ حَرِيصٍ فَقِيرٌ ولَوْ مَلَكَ الدُّنْيا، وكُلُّ مُقْتَنِعٍ غَنِيٌّ،

Yet none of this removes poverty. Every greedy person is poor, even if he owns the whole world, while every content person is wealthy.

ومِن حَقِّ مَن كانَ عَبْدًا لِغَنِيٍّ أنْ يَتَحَقَّقَ أنَّهُ غَنِيٌّ بغنى سَيِّدِهِ،

It is rightful of anyone who is a servant to the One who is wealthy to realize that He is the One who enriches His servant.

فَفي خَوْفِ الفَقْرِ إباقُ العَبْدِ عَنْ رَبِّهِ؛ والفَقْرُ فَقْدُ ما إلَيْهِ الحاجَةُ في وقْتٍ مِن قِيامِ المَرْءِ في ظاهِرِهِ وباطِنِهِ. انْتَهى.

Fear of poverty is like a slave fleeing from his Master; true poverty is the loss of what is needed at a particular time for the maintenance of a person, both outwardly and inwardly.” End of the quote.

‎If a Shaytan can come in a form of a man that narrates to you…

‎What makes you think that Shayātīn, human or Jinn, will not create an X account to further their falsehood? Narrating to you truth in order to build trust and good thoughts, then inserting falsehood after gaining following and trust.

‎ 'Abdullah b. Mas'ūd said:

‎"Indeed, Shaytan takes the form of a man and then comes to a people narrating lies to them. Afterward, the people will disperse, and one of them will say: ‘I heard a man narrate, I know his face but not his name.’” [Muslim in his introduction]

‎This narration is Mawqūf (from the wording and meaning of a companion); however, it is ruled as a statement of the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) because it could not have come by way of personal opinion.

‎• Look to whom you take your religion from.
‎• Verify sources.
‎• Verify narrators/translators.

O servants of Allah! Remember that this abode is that of trials, tribulations and tests, so walk the path to the afterlife and beware of procrastination and negligence. Do not be among those who hope for (reward) in the afterlife without deeds, delaying repentance because of continued eagerness for this world and preoccupied with it. Indeed, the appointed time of death is hidden and death comes suddenly, so do not be deceived by Allah’s Forbearance because Allah gives respite but does not forget, and indeed Paradise and Hellfire are closer to you than your shoelaces.
-
Shaykh Abu Abdillah Khalid adh-Dhufayri (Allah preserve him).

Sudden deaths, subhaanAllaah.
May Allaah make us take heed, and those effected by it strong and patient, Aameen

Blessings of a Muslim country and some of the schools, baarakAllaahu feehum.

This is a message from my 10 year old son's school stating that tomorrow they will be praying salaatul istisqaa (prayer for rain) in the school, and to do wudu from home (important), and to bring a prayer mat for those who have one. And that may Allaah accept it from them.

This is quite common in Arabic schools for boys. May Allaah bless the Muslim rulers and the schools for taking out time from their schedules and encouraging the Sunnah from such a young age.

https://www.troid.org/the-manners-of-the-host-and-the-manners-of-the-hosted/

We compiled and translated this article based on two very important observations:

1. We found that many people do not give importance to hosting travellers or guests, often leaving guests to fend for themselves, not seeking out the tremendous reward for such kindness.
2. We found that in some cases, the traveller or guest would expect to be excessively “wined and dined” as the expression goes, expecting a five-star experience, burdening his host’s time and wealth unnecessarily.

We hope that this article sheds light on the important of being a beautiful host and a humble easy guest.

Sisters often ask me if we're allowed to bleach eyebrows. Here are some answers by our scholars:

Sheikh Ubaid Al Jaabiree - Bleaching or coloring eyebrows is changing Allaah's creation, so Muslim women should be warned.

سئلَ العلّامة عبيد الجابري -حَفظَهُ الله- :

[يقول ما حكم تشقير الحواجب ووضع الصبغة البُنية أو السوداء لغرض تحديد الحاجب وتجميله بشكل ما؟]

❪✵❫ الجَـــــوَابُ:

《 ما يتعلق بالحواجب من تشقير الحاجب وصبغه حتى يكون موافق للبشرة هذا من تغيير خلق الله ، وقد لعن رسول الله – صلى الله عليه وسلم – الواصلة والمستوصلة والواشمة والمستوشمة وقال المتفلجات بالحسن المغيرات لخلق الله

فبان بهذا أن ما ذكرته كله يندرجُ تحت تغيير خلق الله فاحذري وبلغي كل مسلمة منى السلام و أن تحذر هذا 》

🍥 المصدر : موقع ميراث الأنبياء :
http://ar.miraath.net/fatwah/2793


Sheikh Saalih Al Fawzaan - Not allowed to mess around with eyebrows in anyway, a woman is created beautiful the way she is.

❍ لِلشَّــيْخ العَلّامـَـة/

【أحـسن الله إليـكم صاحب الفضيلة وهذا سائل يقول:
ما حكم تشقير أي صبغ الحواجب】

❪✵❫ الجَـــــوَابُ:

《 لا يجـوز العبث بالحواجب لا يجـوز للمــرأة أن تعـبث بحواجبها، لا بنـمص ولا بتشـقير ولا بأي نوع من العبث بل تترك حواجبها على خلقتها، وهي جميلة بخلقتها، فلا تتدخل فيــها بشــيء.

والتشـقير العـبث، عبث بالحـواجب وققد صدرت فيه فتوى من اللجنة الدائمة بتحريمه. نعم. 》

https://salaficentre.com/2023/07/17/reflection-on-tawheed-when-thunder-is-heard/

Clouds, Thunder and Lightning are Signs of Allah's Power

Allah states that He has full power over Al-Barq (lightning), which is the bright light that originates from within clouds. Ibn Jarir recorded that Ibn Abbas once wrote to Abu Al-Jald asking about the meaning of Al-Barq, and he said that it is water. Qatadah commented on Allah's statement,

خَوْفًا وَطَمَعًا

(as a fear and as a hope.) "Fear for travelers, for they feel afraid of its harm and hardship, and hope for residents, awaiting its blessing and benefit and anticipating Allah's provisions." Allah said next,

وَيُنْشِىءُ السَّحَابَ الثِّقَالَ

(And it is He Who brings up the clouds, heavy.) meaning, He originates the clouds that are heavy and close to the ground because of being laden with rain. Mujahid said that this part of the Ayah is about clouds that are heavy with rain. Allah's statement,

وَيُسَبِّحُ الرَّعْدُ بِحَمْدِهِ

(And Ar-Ra'd (thunder) glorifies and praises Him), is similar to His other statement,

وَإِن مِّن شَىْءٍ إِلاَّ يُسَبِّحُ بِحَمْدَهِ

(And there is not a thing but glorifies His praise.) 17:44 Imam Ahmad recorded that Ibrahim bin Sad said, "My father told me that he was sitting next to Hamid bin Abdur Rahman in the Masjid. A man from the tribe of Ghifar passed and Hamid sent someone to him to please come to them. When he came, Hamid said to me, My nephew! Make space for him between me and you, for he had accompanied Allah's Messenger ﷺ.' When that man came, he sat between me and Hamid and Hamid said to him, What was the Hadith that you narrated to me from the Messenger of Allah ﷺ ' He said, A man from Ghifar said that he heard the Prophet say, i

«إِنَّ اللهَ يُنْشِىءُ السَّحَابَ فَيَنْطِقُ أَحْسَنَ النُّطْقِ، وَيَضْحَكُ أَحْسَنَ الضَّحِك»

(Verily, Allah originates the clouds, and they speak in the most beautiful voice and laugh in the most beautiful manner.) It appears, and Allah has the best knowledge, that the cloud's voice is in reference to thunder and its laughter is the lightning. Musa bin Ubaydah narrated that Sad bin Ibrahim said, "Allah sends the rain and indeed, none has a better smile than it, nor more comforting voice. Its smile is lightning and its voice is thunder."

(Tafseer Ibn Katheer)

🔊 Last night

Ar-Ra'd 13:12

هُوَ ٱلَّذِى يُرِيكُمُ ٱلْبَرْقَ خَوْفًا وَطَمَعًا وَيُنشِئُ ٱلسَّحَابَ ٱلثِّقَالَ

It is He Who shows you the lightning, as a fear (for travellers) and as a hope (for those who wait for rain). And it is He Who brings up (or originates) the clouds, heavy (with water).

How to Soften the Hardened Hearts - Shaykh ibn Uthaymeen

A young woman says that she has been practising [the religion] for about a year and she thanks Allah for that, but [she says]: My heart is in a constant state of change and alteration. Sometimes I notice strength in my Eemaan [faith] and a [strong] concern for the prayer with humility and a love for good. And sometimes this strength is diminished and I notice hardness in my heart. I do not remain in a single state, to the extent that I have started to fear for my [practice of the] religion. And I fear that I may return to my old ways. And I notice that my Eemaan has started to gradually decrease. O noble Shaikh! Direct me [to something] that can strengthen my Eemaan and supplicate for me [to be] guided and [to be] steadfast upon the truth. May Allah reward you with good.

A Marriage of Respect or Dominance?
Imām Muḥammad ibn Ṣāliḥ al-ʿUthaymīn

Last month, at the end of September, the kids and I went to #Yanbu to enjoy some family time. The rest of my siblings and their families surprised us, and also joined in with us.

That day I had also used my mobile phone to take underwater sea videos, which (expectedly) caused the phone to malfunction. The repair took about a month, but alhumdulillaah I was able to retrieve all my videos and photos. [Point to note: Waterproof does not mean seawater proof, salt water errodes the mechanism].

After getting my mobile phone back, I had put some of the videos on my WhatsApp status, and many of you asked me for the location to the exact spot we went to. It's a public beach, where you can go in for snorkeling. You do need to register yourself (and those with you) for a very minimal fee, if you're going snorkeling. It's more like you're taking responsibility for yourself.
There are kiosks there where you do the registrations, and guards walking and boating around to check.

Sisters can wear loose Abaayaas or Khimaar. I wear the overhead Abaayah, and my girls wear the Khimaar, and we all went in.

In the sea, is a border which shows where the deep end starts, and if you're a licensed diver, you can go there to see an underwater ship wreck.

Water is shallow enough for adults (or kids 5 feet+) to stand up until border. People have seen turtles and dolphins there too.

Water gets a little choppy and cold after Asr, so it's best for young kids to go in earlier.

Around the beach, are pavilions, where you can have a picnic. And there are open showers for men, and closed bathrooms for women (QadarAllaah, not in the best conditions).

Please note: The beach does not provide you with anything, you need to bring in your own equipments. If you'd like to enjoy the undersea view, goggles are a must.

It takes a little less than 3 hours to reach there from #Madeenah. We left soon after Fajr, and drove back home around 10pm.

I had received a question from a sister about a runaway goat intended for slaughtering, and the slaughterer found it difficult to run after it, so if he could shoot it with a gun or arrow to subdue it.

And then someone sent her the (above) answer to it. I just feel this Deen is so beautiful and covers everything we need in this life, subhaanAllaah.

#Madeenah

Beautiful picnic area, not very far either, alhumdulillaah.

The route takes you to a U-turn much further ahead, however, you can just turn when you see the water area, without going all the way to the actual U-turn.

Boycotting Certain Companies and Products

‎1. The base rule is that it is permissible to trade with non-Muslims, even individuals from enemy states, as highlighted by Imām Bukhari (no. 2216).

‎2. Ibn Taymiyyah, Ibn Battal, Nawawi and others have spoken about its permissibility. The exception to this rule is weaponry and things that can be used in war against the Muslims.

‎3. Therefore, it becomes clear that the issue of boycotting revolves around weighing the benefits against the harms.

‎4. A public boycott vs a personal choice.

‎As for those living in Muslim countries, then a number of senior scholars like the Permanent committee, Sh Ibn Baz, Sh Fawzan and others hold that only the Muslim ruler can call for a public boycott; and he is to be obeyed in these affairs. This is because opposing him undermines his authority and can actually harm the interests and economies of the Muslims.

‎The Hadith of Thumamah b. Uthal (Bukhari no. 4372) which is cited as a proof against those who view that a general boycott is at the discretion of the ruler is actually a proof against them, as Thumamah said: “Until the Prophet ﷺ allows this.” The argument is further weakened if they explain the Prophet’s ﷺ final decision on the matter.

‎As for a person making a personal decision to boycott a company, then this is fine, with the condition that they do not compel others or question people’s religiosity or faith, if they do not agree with this stance, and instead view it in light of the original Islamic ruling which is permissibility.

‎As it relates to a personal decision to boycott certain products, then Imam Sa’di and others recognized economic boycotts to be a legitimate show of opposition to eliminate specific harms facing the Muslims.

‎There are also some general Fatawa of some senior scholars of the Sunnah supporting the premise of boycotts. However, it is incorrect to conclude from them that they do not hold general boycotts in Muslim lands to be under the jurisdiction of the Muslim ruler, unless this is unequivocally stated.

‎5. Accusing others of being a Zionist if, on a personal level, they do not see the benefit of such boycotts is very dangerous indeed. This is like someone in a Muslim country telling a Western Muslim that they have blood on their hands because they pay taxes (10-37%) and refuse to make Hijrah.

‎Likewise, disparaging those who make a personal decision to boycott is incorrect and unacceptable.

‎6. Some people are now calling the Muslims to boycott Saudi Arabia and the UAE. Dubious characters have also called for Hajj and Umrah to be boycotted.

‎No doubt, these are sensitive issues which need to be addressed with knowledge and insight, not recklessness and emotions. If we truly desire Muslim unity, then why would anyone try and destabilize Sunni majority countries at such trying times.

‎Beware of anyone who calls us to boycott Muslim countries, as they have an agenda to spread havoc and instability in Sunni lands.

‎May Allah grant success to the Muslims and remove the pain and suffering from the people of Palestine.
