 FAJR REMINDER: THE PERMANENT MAḤĀRIM THROUGH BLOOD RELATIONSHIP By: Umm Affān Rabī' Al-Awwal 10, 1448 (23-August-2026) In Islām, who are a woman's permanent Maḥārim (the plural of Maḥram)? And what does this relationship mean for matters of Ḥijāb, privacy, and travel? A Maḥram is a man whom a woman is permanently forbidden to marry due to a relationship of blood (lineage), breastfeeding, or marriage. Understanding who her Maḥārim are helps a Muslim woman recognise the boundaries Allāh has established concerning modesty and family relationships. Let us examine them one after another, beginning with the Maḥārim established through blood relationship. (1) HER FATHER AND GRANDFATHERS A woman's father is her permanent Maḥram. This also includes her grandfathers—her father's father, her mother's father, and all grandfathers above them. Allāh (ﷻ) tells the men: “Forbidden to you (for marriage) are: your mothers...” [Sūrah An-Nisā' (4): 23] When this ruling is applied ...

 *_DAILY ISLAMIC REMINDER_* Yaum As-sabt | 9th day of Rabee-ul Awwal, 1448 AH | Saturday, 22nd August, 2026. *_TAFSEER OF SURATUL-FAATIHAH_*. BismilLah.  We recite this suurah in every single salaat but do we really understand the spiritual Meanings of the verses? Let's begin to understand this most important act in our salaat. Suratul-Faatihah (سُورَةُ الْفَاتِحَةِ) is the opening chapter of the Qur’an and one of the greatest suurahs in Islam. It contains only seven verses, yet it summarizes the central message of the entire Qur’an: who ALLAH Azzawajal is, how we should worship HIM, our relationship with HIM, the Hereafter, and our constant need for HIS Guidance. Sheikh Ibn Kathir may ALLAH Azzawajal be pleased with him highlights these themes in his commentary on the suurah.  The Prophet ﷺ also described it as Umm al-Qur’an (Mother of the Qur’an) and the seven oft-repeated verses. The Prophet Muhammad ﷺ was calling people away from shirk (associating partners with ALLAH...

 FAJR REMINDER: THE FIRST MARTYR OF ISLĀM  By: Umm Affān Rabī' Al-Awwal 9, 1448 (22-August-2026) Dear parents, especially mothers, tell your daughters about Summayyah Bint Khubbāt (Raḍiyallāhu ‘Anha). Summayyah Bint Khubbāt was an elderly and physically frail woman. She was the mother of ‘Ammār Ibn Yāsir, and her husband was Yāsir Ibn ‘Āmir (Raḍiyallāhu ‘Anhum). She was among the earliest people to embrace Islām in Makkah and was subjected to some of the most severe forms of torture in an attempt to make her abandon her Dīn. Yet, she remained firm. She believed in Allāh when believing came with a price—torture, persecution, and ultimately death. The Quraysh subjected Summayyah and her family to brutal torture simply because they proclaimed their faith in Allāh. They held firmly to “Rabbunallāh” (Our Lord is Allāh). Summayyah may have been weak in body, but she was unbreakable in faith. Her physical weakness did not prevent her from displaying extraordinary spiritual strength. ...

 Bleeding Issues [Final ~ S h o w] ----------------- بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم To sum up: Whatever bleeding or secretions occur at the time of menses come under the ruling on menses, whether that occurs before the usual menstrual bleeding and is connected to it, or it comes at the end of your period, before you see the usual signs of tuhr (end of menses). Thus you will know that you have to refrain from fasting and praying for the entire duration of your period, whether it is seven days or ten days, so long as you have not yet seen your tuhr (sign that the period has ended). If your period ended on the 17th, for example, then you have to purify yourself and do ghusl, and resume praying and fasting, from the time when you see your tuhr. The same applies if that happens on the 18th. And you have to do that every month. If you see bleeding two weeks after the end of your period and it does not look like menstrual blood, then this is irregular bleeding (istihaadah) and not menses, because...

 Bleeding Issues [Third ~ S h o w] ----------------- بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم The basic principle regarding the bleeding experienced by women is that it is menses (hayd), so long as it does not last for longer than fifteen days, in which case it is regarded as istihaadah (irregular bleeding) by the majority of scholars. Some of the scholars – including Shaykh al-Islam Ibn Taymiyah (may Allah have mercy on him) – are of the view that a woman is not mustahaadah (experiencing irregular bleeding) unless the bleeding lasts all month, or for most of the month. If a woman who has a regular cycle experiences istihaadah, if she knows her regular cycle, the time when her menses begins and ends, and how many days it lasts, then she should stop praying etc. at that time, even if the blood looks different. And her cycle is the duration of her menses and the duration of the time when she is “pure” (i.e., not menstruating), such as fourteen days of menses, or one day and one night, which is the min...

 Chief Admin: Bleeding Issues [Second ~ Show] ----------------- بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم Firstly: The blood of menses is well-known to every women (in terms of colour, odor and thickness). If you see that type of blood, then it is your menses, whether the duration of the bleeding is seven days or eight, or more or less, so long as it does not last for longer than fifteen days. Secondly: Brownish secretions come under the same rulings as menses if they are connected to it and come straight after it, before the woman sees the signs of tuhr (purity, i.e., the end of menses) which she knows. So they are regarded as part of the period, even if their characteristics differ from those of menstrual bleeding. Similarly, if the woman usually has these secretions at the beginning of her period, and they are connected to the menstrual bleeding that she knows, accompanied by pains or cramps, or they come at the usual time of her period, then they are also regarded as part of the period. "The maj...

 Bleeding Issues [First ~ S h o w] ----------------- بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم (1) When is the bleeding following an abortion regarded as Nifas? (2) When to resume prayer and fasting after abortion? Nifas is the blood passed by a woman because of childbirth. But if a woman miscarries (or has an abortion), the blood that she passes is not considered to be Nifas unless the foetus has human features. Human features do not appear in the foetus before eighty days of pregnancy, because the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: “The creation of any one of you is put together in his mother’s womb for forty days, then he becomes a Alaqah (a piece of thick coagulated blood) for a similar period, then he becomes like a chewed piece of flesh for a similar period, then Allah sends an angel who is enjoined to write down four things, and it is said to him: Write down his deeds, his provision, his lifespan and whether he is doomed for Hell or destined for Paradise. Then the soul is...

 Miraculous Story ----------------- بسم الله الرحمان الرحيم Generations before us had received COUNTLESS MIRACULOUS favors from Allah (swt). Yes. It's more than easy for Allah (swt) to send down everything we need for the propagation of Islam. Remember, Nana Maryam (a.s.) grew up serving Allah (swt). She naturally spent a lot of time in secluded worship. Closed away in her private prayer room, Prophet Zakariyya (a.s.) was amazed that there was always food coming into the room Scholars have said, ‘Prophet Zakariyya would find her with the fruits of the summer during winter, and the fruits of the winter during summer’. 📚[Tafseer Ibn Katheer] The bitter truth is, Allah (swt) did not design it that HIS Angels from the sky would be descending to do the jobs of masjid maintainance meant for human beings. This is why HE mentioned in the glorious Qur'an: إِنَّمَا يَعْمُرُ مَسَٰجِدَ ٱللَّهِ مَنْ ءَامَنَ بِٱللَّهِ وَٱلْيَوْمِ ٱلْءَاخِرِ.... "The mosques of Allah shall be visited an...

 FAJR REMINDER: A SIGN OF KHUSHŪ‘ By: Umm Affān Rabī' Al-Awwal 8, 1448 (21-August-2026) Crying during prayer does not, in itself, invalidate the prayer. On the contrary, tears that flow out of fear of Allāh, love for Him, hope in His Mercy, or deep reflection upon the Qur’ān are a manifestation of Khushū‘—humble reverence, solemnity, and complete submission before Allāh. Rather than being a flaw, such tears may indicate that the heart has been deeply affected by what it recites and hears. Ibn Juzayy (Raḥimahullāh) beautifully explained the reality of Khushū‘, saying: “Humble submission (Khushū') is a state of heart, which results from fear of Allāh, awareness that Allāh is watching, and humility before the Greatness of the Lord, may He be glorified and exalted. The impact of that is seen in the limbs, which become still, and also includes focusing on the prayer, not looking around, weeping, and beseeching.” [Tafsīr Ibn Juzayy 2/48] Indeed, one of the clearest examples of crying...

BismilLah.  Alhamdulillah for granting us the opportunity to be part of this blessed day of the week.  Let's continue with our studies and understanding of the basic supplications during Ṣalaah. Dua al-istiftah is recited silently after saying “Allāhu Akbar” and before Sūrat al-Fātiḥah of every salah. . One authentic supplication is: سُبْحَانَكَ اللَّهُمَّ وَبِحَمْدِكَ، وَتَبَارَكَ اسْمُكَ، وَتَعَالَى جَدُّكَ، وَلَا إِلَهَ غَيْرُكَ Meaning: Glory be to YOU, O ALLAH, and all praise belongs to YOU. Blessed is Your Name, exalted is Your Majesty, and there is no deity worthy of worship except YOU.” This is one of the opening supplications reported from the Prophet sallallahu alaihi wasallam. It is important to understand its meaning because we are saying these words while standing before A...

 FAJR REMINDER: A PATHWAY TO GOODNESS By: Umm Affān Rabī' Al-Awwal 7, 1448 (20-August-2026) Those who have living parents should always show them kindness and respect, as they are a precious source of blessings, a means of having your prayers answered, and a pathway to goodness in both this life and the Hereafter. Therefore, worship Allāh and be dutiful to your parents. A well-known Ḥadīth tells the story of three men trapped in a cave, narrated by ‘Abdullāh Ibn ‘Umar (Raḍiyallāhu ‘Anhumā). In this story, one of the men called upon Allāh through a sincere deed of dutifulness towards his parents. He said: “O Allāh, I had two old parents with my wife and young child. I tended to a flock, and when evening came, I milked them and served my parents first before my child. One day, I went in search of fodder and did not return until evening. I found them both sleeping, so I milked as I had done before. I brought the milk and stood by their heads, for I hated to disrupt their sleep or serv...
