Zina (fornication/adultery)*

 *⚠️ Zina (fornication/adultery)* is a *major sin* in Islam — one of the gravest. But if someone falls into it (may Allah protect us), the door of *Tawbah* (repentance) is always open.  


Even if a person is married, Islam encourages *repentance and concealment* — not public confession.


πŸ“ *Imam Ahmad ibn Hanbal (Ψ±Ψ­Ω…Ω‡ Ψ§Ω„Ω„Ω‡)* said:


“If a man commits zina with a married woman, and her husband is unaware:  

She *must not inform her husband.* Instead, she should:  

   

1️⃣ 🀐 *Conceal* the sin and protect herself and others  

2️⃣ πŸ•‹ *Repent sincerely* to Allah  

3️⃣ 🀲🏼 *Seek forgiveness*  

4️⃣ πŸ’ *Gift her mahr (dowry)* back to her husband as a form of personal atonement (optional)*  


(πŸ“š *Ahkam an-Nisa*, pg. 117)


`This ruling applies when:`

✅ The sin hasn’t become public  

✅ The husband doesn’t know  

✅ There is sincere repentance  


*Why?*  

• πŸ‘¨‍πŸ‘©‍πŸ‘§ *Preserves the family*  

• πŸ›‘ *Prevents harm, humiliation, and injustice*  

• 🀝 *Encourages moving forward with Tawbah and growth*


*The Prophet ο·Ί said*:

*“Avoid these filthy sins Allah has forbidden. But if anyone falls into one, let them conceal what Allah concealed, and let them repent. Whoever confesses, we will apply the Hadd (punishment).”*  — [Al-Haakim, Al-Bayhaqi | Authenticated by Al-Albani]


πŸ“š *Al-Munaawi Ψ±Ψ­Ω…Ω‡ Ψ§Ω„Ω„Ω‡* said:  “It is *obligatory* on a person who commits a major sin to *conceal and repent*. If he exposes it, punishment must be applied.”


`Lesson:` Islam is a religion of mercy. If you fall, don’t stay down. Rise, repent, conceal, and rebuild. Allah loves those who turn back to Him.


*May Allah protect us from Zina and all sins, conceal our faults, accept our repentance, and keep us firm on the path of purity.* Ameen.

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 ...

One of the question asked is can a Christian enter Jannah today?

 One of the question asked is can a Christian enter Jannah today? Alhamdulillah, it is clear from Quran and hadiths that any christian who dies believing Jesus is God or son of God and do not believe in prophet Muhammad Peace be Upon Him will enter hellfire. Allah says, Al-Ma'idah 5:17 They have certainly disbelieved who say that Allāh is Christ, the son of Mary. Say, "Then who could prevent Allāh at all if He had intended to destroy Christ, the son of Mary, or his mother or everyone on the earth?" And to Allāh belongs the dominion of the heavens and the earth and whatever is between them. He creates what He wills, and Allāh is over all things competent. Allah says, Al-Ma'idah 5:72 Ω„َΩ‚َΨ―ۡ ΩƒَفَΨ±َ Ω±Ω„َّΨ°ِΩŠΩ†َ Ω‚َΨ§Ω„ُوٓΨ§ْ Ψ₯ِΩ†َّ Ω±Ω„Ω„َّΩ‡َ Ω‡ُوَ Ω±Ω„ۡΩ…َΨ³ِيحُ Ω±Ψ¨ۡΩ†ُ Ω…َΨ±ۡيَΩ…َۖ وَΩ‚َΨ§Ω„َ Ω±Ω„ۡΩ…َΨ³ِيحُ يَٰΨ¨َΩ†ِيٓ Ψ₯ِΨ³ۡΨ±َٰٓΨ‘ِΩŠΩ„َ Ω±ΨΉۡΨ¨ُΨ―ُواْ Ω±Ω„Ω„َّΩ‡َ Ψ±َΨ¨ِّي وَΨ±َΨ¨َّΩƒُΩ…ۡۖ Ψ₯ِΩ†َّΩ‡ُΫ₯ Ω…َΩ† يُΨ΄ۡΨ±ِΩƒۡ Ψ¨ِΩ±Ω„Ω„َّΩ‡ِ فَΩ‚َΨ―ۡ Ψ­َΨ±َّΩ…َ Ω±Ω„Ω„َّΩ‡ُ ΨΉَΩ„َيۡΩ‡ِ Ω±Ω„ۡΨ¬َΩ†َّΨ©َ وَΩ…َΨ£ۡوَΩ‰ٰΩ‡ُ Ω±Ω„Ω†َّΨ§Ψ±ُۖ وَΩ…َΨ§ Ω„ِΩ„ΨΈَّٰΩ„ِΩ…ِΩŠΩ†َ Ω…ِΩ†ۡ Ψ£َΩ†Ψ΅َ...

PURIFICATION OF THE HEART

 DAILY ISLAMIC REMINDER. Yawm al-khamis, 20th day of Swafar 1447AH, Thursday, 14th August 2025. *_PURIFICATION OF THE HEART_*. BismilLah.  A sister asked me yesterday how we can purify ourselves to achieve the immense benefits mentioned in our reminder yesterday.  The command to purify our hearts from sins was an essential Islamic teaching ever since the early stages of the revelation in Mecca. This is known as “purification of the soul” (tazkiyyat an-nafs).   ALLAH Azzawajal says: He has succeeded who purifies the soul, and he has failed who corrupts the soul. Surah Ash-Shams 91:9-10. Also, ALLAH Azzawajal says: A day when there will be no benefit in wealth or children, but only in he who comes to ALLAH Azzawajal with a pure heart. Surah Ash-Shu’ara 26:88-89.  We learn from these verses that our success in the Hereafter depends upon the purification of our hearts in this life. We must purify our hearts from spiritual sins such as greed, malice, envy, arrog...
