SEEKING PERMISSION TO ENTER SOMEONE'S HOME OR OFFICE

 THE DAILY ISLAMIC REMINDERS. Yawm Al-Khamis. 22nd day of Jumaadal Aakhir, 1445AH (Thursday, 4th January 2024). *_SEEKING PERMISSION TO ENTER SOMEONE'S HOME OR OFFICE_*. BismilLaah.


There are guidelines on seeking permission to enter someone's home, which is fixed and does not change in ISLAM. They include the following:


1. Not looking inside the house before permission to enter is given. The Prophet (blessings and peace of ALLAH be upon him) said: It is not⁰⁰⁰⁰⁰ permissible for a Muslim to look inside any house until he has been given permission.” Narrated by al-Bukhaari in al-Adab al-Mufrad (1093). 


2. Saying Assalaamu Alaikum before seeking permission to enter.

ALLAH says:

“O you who believe! Enter not houses other than your own until you have asked permission and greeted those in them; that is better for you, in order that you may remember”[an-Noor 24:27]. Alhamdulillah. 


3.  Knocking on the door or ringing the bell, and so on, takes the place of asking permission verbally, and opening the door by remote means takes the place of giving permission, if the visitor knows that they opened the door for him.


4.  It is essential to mention one’s name if the people inside the house ask who is there. It was narrated that Jaabir ibn ‘Abdullah (may ALLAH be pleased with him) said: I came to the Prophet (blessings and peace of ALLAH be upon him) and knocked on the door, and he said: “Who is there?” I said: It’s me. And he said: “Me, me?” as if he disliked that, Narrated by al-Bukhaari (6250).

That is because if the one who is seeking permission to enter says “It’s me,” he is not properly identifying himself.


It is strictly forbidden and dangerous for a husband brother to be alone with the wife or enter her brother's wife's home or room without permission and without the presence of the husband. The biological brother of your husband is not your relative as such cannot be alone with you, my sisters. The Prophet warned against both been alone, so let's avoid that. Don't leave your wife living alone with your brother in a house, please. It's forbidden and compared to death by the Prophet sallallahu alaihi wasallam, which has been neglected in our Muslim communities today.  The Prophet (peace and blessings of ALLAH be upon him) forbade non-mahrams (unrelated men) to enter upon women. He said: "Beware of entering upon women." One of the Sahaabah said to him, "O Messenger of ALLAAH, what about the brother-in-law?" He said: "The brother-in-law is death!" (Reported by al-Bukhaari, Fath al-Baari, 9/330).


Alhamdulillah for guiding us through all ways of life. *_May ALLAH keep guiding us all and protect us from any satanic influences_*. Aameen.

GIVE CHARITY FOR YOUR OWN GOOD

 DAILY ISLAMIC REMINDERS. Yawm Ath-thalaatha. 28th day of Shaw'waal, 1445AH (Tuesday 7th May 2024). *_GIVE CHARITY FOR YOUR OWN GOOD_*. Aameen.  Narrated Abu Hurairah [radhi-yAllahu 'anhu]: The Prophet (SallallahuAlaihiWasallam) said, "Charity is obligatory everyday on every joint of a human being.* If one helps a person in matters concerning his riding animal by helping him to ride on it or by lifting his luggage on to it, all these will be regarded as charity. A good word, and every step one takes to offer the compulsory congregational prayer is regarded as charity; and guiding somebody on the road is regarded as charity." [Sahih Al-Bukhari, 4/2891]. To show gratitude to ALLAH for keeping your body safe and sound, you should give in charity or do charitable deeds. Narrated Abu Hurairah [radhi-yAllahu 'anhu]: ALLAH'S Messenger (sallallahuAlaihiWasallam) said, "The strong is not the one who overcomes the people by his strength, but the strong is the one w

NOTHING HAPPENS WITHOUT THE PERMISSION OF ALLAH

 DAILY ISLAMIC REMINDERS. Yawm Arba'a. 29th day of Shaw'waal, 1445AH (Wednesday 8th May 2024). *_NOTHING HAPPENS WITHOUT THE PERMISSION OF ALLAH_*. BismilLah.  Even though feelings of Panic, stress/worries etc are part of life, they must not reduce our acts of worship or trust in ALLAH. The more a man turns to ALLAH and focuses on HIM, the more he will feel a sense of peace and comfort, to an extent that no one knows except ALLAH. Hence those who know ALLAH, are close to HIM and fear HIM are the happiest of people, to such an extent that one of them said, in a well-known expression: “If the kings and the sons of kings knew what joy we have, they would fight us for it with the sword.” This is also what is expressed in the Qur’an, as ALLAH says: “Whoever works righteousness, whether male or female, while he (or she) is a true believer (of Islamic Monotheism) verily, to him ALLAH will give a good life (in this world with respect, contentment and lawful provision), and ALLAH will p
