Celebrating Shab E Barat - A Thread

Some Muslims celebrate the middle of Sha‘baan, fasting on that day and spending that night in prayer. There is a hadeeth concerning that which is not saheeh, hence the scholars regarded celebrating this day as an innovation

Views of Famous and Powerful ppl about THE GREATEST HUMAN BEING EVER, OUR PROPHET MOHAMMAD S.A.W. ﷺ

" I have studied him (Prophet Mohammad)- the wonderful man and in my opinion far from being an anti-Christ, he must be called the Saviour of Humanity. I believe that if a man like him were to assume the dictatorship of the modern world,

If ever any man had the right to say that he ruled by a Right Divine,it was Mohammad ﷺ for he had all the power without instruments & without its support.He cared not for dressing of power.The simplicity of his private life was in keeping with his public life."

My choice of Muhammad to lead the list of the world's most influential persons may surprise some readers and may be questioned by others, but he was the ONLY man in history who was supremely successful on both the religious and secular level.

ONE night, a man was angry that his wife had raised her voice when speaking with him. How could she disrespect him? How could she be-little him?

This man,convinced that his wife had crossed the line,decided to go and complain about her to a man who had much knowledge about (1)

Islam & to see what he would have to say about this woman.He went to Umar ibn Al-Khattab. 
As the man was just about to knock on Umar’s door,he stopped in his tracks.He heard a voice coming from inside,a woman’s voice. It was Umar’s wife,she was speaking loudly and her voice(2)

overrode her husband’s.
That was Umar ibn Al-Khattab in there, the fierce ruler of the Muslim Empire that had stretched East and West, and his wife was freely and confidently voicing her opinion and discussing important matters with him.
The man, feeling ashamed of his own
(3)

intolerance towards his wife, hurriedly retraced his steps and decided to leave.The man stumbled and his footsteps were heard by Umar ibn Al-Khattab who opened the door and asked his nighttime visitor,“Have you come to visit me?”
The man sheepishly replied, “I came to complain(4)

to you that my wife had raised her voice at me,but I found that you too have what I have.”What was Umar ibn Al-Khattab’s response?
He said, “She washes my clothes, sweeps the floors,cares for my children, and cleans my house, when Allah has not commanded her to do so, but she(5)

The concept of equality is so flawed yet Muslim feminists like to adhere to it. What they fail to recognize is that Islam does not base a person's worth in terms of wealth or having positions of power in the workplace or a high status, when real worth is defined by righteousness,

Piety and your Imaan. To think that women will only be 'free from oppression by getting rid of the patriarchy' and to use men and masculinity as a standard to check how they need to be in society and to reach that 'standard' in order to be valued is incredibly erroneous. When

Islam places a woman's full worth in being a righteous woman who loves Allah ﷻ, obeys Him and is dutiful to the responsibilities that He has endowed upon her. That is obviously not to say that one should not strive for this world at all, you should as long as you're fulfilling

Your duties and obligations towards Allah ﷻ and the people around you, regardless of which gender you are.

May Allah ﷻ help us all be better Muslims.

Islamic Stance on Music [🧵]

بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم

Music has been so normalized that “scholars” have even misguided people on it. May Allah forgive us and guide us, aameen.

This will be a long but informative thread on this topic, in shaa’ Allah

Ibn Masud (rAa) said about this ayah: “It is singing, by the one and only God” he repeated it 3x (Tafsir Tabari 11/61)

Ibn Abbas says the same thing (recorded in Adab Al Mufrad), so do Jabir Ibn Abdillah and Ibn Umar. As well as Ibn Abbas’ father (radhiAllahu ‘anhum)

The scholars of tafsir regarding the voice (of Iblis):

Mujahid: It is singing, flutes, distraction, falsehood (Tafsir Tabari 15/81)

Hasan Al-Basri: It’s the duff and the flute (Tafsir Samani 3/258)

Ibn Abbas said: It is singing. Upon hearing the Quran, they (the mushrikeen of makkah) used to sing and play. (Tafsir Tabari 13/82)

Mujahid also says the same thing in Talbis Iblis by Ibn Jawzi (p. 231)

This has to be said.

Classical Muslim scholars and jurists have categorized friendship with NON-MUSLIM into four levels and stages

1) Muwalat or Mawadda: This means to have close and intimate relationship and deep love and affection from one’s heart for a non-Muslim such that

it makes a Muslim unmindful of his faith.

This Mawadda is reserved only for Muslims; hence it is not permitted for a Muslim to have this type of friendship with non-Muslims. The verses of the Qur’an prohibiting Muslims from having intimate and close friendship with non-Muslims,

especially the first verse of Surah al-Mumtahina, is regarding this kind of relationship.

2) Mudarat: This means to express friendship and love only outwardly without having love for them and their beliefs internally. It is a mere outward expression of the first stage (muwalat),

hence it entails being pleasant, friendly, polite and kind towards non-Muslims. It involves expressing good manners, courtesy and good behavior towards fellow human beings.
This kind of relationship with non-Muslims is permitted, as it is reserved for all human beings, whether

Muslim or non-Muslim. This becomes even more important when the objective is to safeguard one’s self from potential harm, invite them towards Islam or when they are one’s guests. The verse of the Qur’an where Allah says “unless you [do so] as a protective measure [in order to]
