End Ramadhaan with ISTIGHFAAR | Asma bint Shameem

Image
Today is the 29th of Ramadhaan.  The beautiful month of Ramadhaan is almost over.  Now end this amazing month of fasting and praying and Qur’aan with Istighfaar and seeking forgiveness.  That’s because seeking forgiveness after ANY act of worship is a wonderful way of smoothing out any imperfections it may have had....  It helps remove any shortcomings, any mistakes, any flaws, any weaknesses.... And that’s the reason why it’s part of our Deen to seek forgiveness after ALL acts of goodness.  🍃Didn’t the Prophet sal Allaahu Alayhi wa sallam seek forgiveness of Allaah three times after every Salaah?  Thawbaan Radhi Allaahu anhu  said:  “When he had finished his prayer, the Messenger of Allah (blessings and peace of Allah be upon him) used to ask for forgiveness three times,” (Saheeh Muslim 1362) 🍃Didn’t he teach us to say Istighfaar after making wudhu?  ‎سُبْحانَكَ اللَّهُمَّ وبِحَمْدِكَ ، أشْهَدُ أنْ لا إلهَ إِلاَّ أنْتَ ، أسْتَغْفِرُكَ وأتُ...

What to do if Eid falls on a Friday | Asma bint Shameem

Image
  If Eid falls on a Friday, then the strongest opinion among the ulama is that if a person attends the Eid prayer, then he does not ‘HAVE’ to attend the Jumu’ah prayer, though if he would attend both that would be great.  But if they chose to attend the Eid prayer only and did not attend the Friday prayer, then of course they would still have to pray Dhuhr.  📌Proof: 🍃 The Prophet sal Allaahu Alayhi wa sallam said: “Eid prayer and Friday prayer have fallen on the same day, today.  Whoever prays ‘Eid prayer, Friday prayer is not obligatory on him.  As for us, we are going to pray Friday prayer”. (Abu Dawood- authentic by al-Albaani) 🍃 Abu ‘Ubayd, the freed slave of Ibn Azhar, said:  “I was present on the occasion of two Eids (together) with ‘Uthmaan ibn ‘Affaan; that was on a Friday.  He offered the (Eid) prayer before the khutbah, then delivered the khutbah and said:  “O people, on this day two Eids have come to you together, so whoever wants to...

YOUR MOTHER OR YOUR WIFE

Image
There is absolutely no place for comparison between a man's responsibility towards his wife and that towards his mother. This is in time  These people occupy different part of his heart,  however, the responsibility towards mother is unconditional even if she is a witch flying in the middle of the night, it is you that will know how to avoid her evil and protect yourself with adhkār. Allah says: { ۞ وَقَضَىٰ رَبُّكَ أَلَّا تَعۡبُدُوۤا۟ إِلَّاۤ إِیَّاهُ وَبِٱلۡوَ ٰ⁠لِدَیۡنِ إِحۡسَـٰنًاۚ إِمَّا یَبۡلُغَنَّ عِندَكَ ٱلۡكِبَرَ أَحَدُهُمَاۤ أَوۡ كِلَاهُمَا فَلَا تَقُل لَّهُمَاۤ أُفࣲّ وَلَا تَنۡهَرۡهُمَا وَقُل لَّهُمَا قَوۡلࣰا كَرِیمࣰا } And your Lord has decreed that you not worship except Him, and to parents, good treatment. Whether one or both of them reach old age [while] with you, say not to them [so much as], "uff," and do not repel them but speak to them a noble word [Surah Al-Isrâ’: 23] Prophet Ibrahim's father was extremely hostile to him that he warned him to stay ...
