Bleeding Issues [Final ~ S h o w]

 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]

 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]

 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]]

 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

 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...

A SIGN OF KHUSHŪ

 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...

TAFSEER OF DUA AL-ISTIFTĀḤ (دعاء الاستفتاح) — THE OPENING SUPPLICATION

 *_DAILY ISLAMIC REMINDER_* Yaumul Jumuat | 9th day of Rabee-ul Awwal, 1448 AH | Friday, 21st August, 2026.  *_TAFSEER OF DUA AL-ISTIFTĀḤ (دعاء الاستفتاح) — THE OPENING SUPPLICATION_*. 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...

A PATHWAY TO GOODNESS

 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...

TAFSEER OF THE FIRST TAKBĪR; ALLĀHU AKBAR

 *_DAILY ISLAMIC REMINDER_* Yaum Al-khamis | 8th day of Rabee-ul Awwal, 1448 AH | Thursday, 20th August, 2026.  *_TAFSEER OF THE FIRST TAKBĪR; ALLĀHU AKBAR_*. BismilLah.  When we stand to begin salah, we say: اللَّهُ أَكْبَرُ Allāhu Akbar;  ALLAH is the Greatest. This is called Takbīrat al-Iḥrām (تكبيرة الإحرام) because with it, we formally enter the prayer. The Prophet sallallahu alaihi wasallam taught us to begin the prayer with takbīr. It is not merely a phrase we pronounce with our tongue, it is a declaration of what should happen in our hearts. When you say Allāhu Akbar, you are reminding yourself: ALLAH is greater than my worries. ALLAH is greater than my problems. ALLAH is greater than my wealth. ALLAH is greater than my business. ALLAH is greater than my job. ALLAH is greater than my family and responsibilities. ALLAH is greater than the people I fear. ALLAH is greater than anything occupying my heart. You have just left the concerns of the world behind and t...

Don't Forget This [[-Episode 23-]]

 Don't Forget This [[-Episode 23-]] ----------------- بسم الله الرحمان الرحيم A happy wife makes a happy life—this age-old proverb holds more truth than many men realize. When a man takes the time to understand his wife’s desires, he doesn’t just light a fire in the bedroom; he keeps the home warm. *"A woman who is well-loved in the dark will shine brightly in the light."* A man who neglects his wife’s sexual needs is like a farmer who plants seeds but refuses to water them—nothing will grow. If he fails to tend to her garden, another man’s shadow may loom over the fence😀.  In many homes today, Emotional neglect is the first crack in the dam. Yes. When a husband turns away from his wife night after night, she begins to question her worth. The mind wanders, the heart aches, and the body—deprived of touch—starts responding to the slightest attention from another man. Some women endure for years, swallowing their desires like bitter pills, but *"even the most patient k...

UWAYS'S LEGACY OF BIRR AL-WĀLIDAYN

 FAJR REMINDER: UWAYS'S LEGACY OF BIRR AL-WĀLIDAYN By: Umm Affān Rabī' Al-Awwal 6, 1448 (19-August-2026) The significance of Birr al-Wālidayn—dutifulness and excellence towards one's parents—can never be overstated. Among the most beautiful examples of how such dutifulness can elevate a person to an extraordinary rank with Allāh is the story of Uways Ibn ‘Āmir al-Qaranī (Raḥimahullāh). His story teaches us that a person may be virtually unknown among people while being honoured and recognised in the Sight of Allāh. Uways lived during the lifetime of the Prophet (ﷺ), believed in him, and yet remained in Yemen with his mother to care for her. For this reason, he is regarded as a Tābi'ī, not a Companion. ‘Umar Ibn al-Khaṭṭāb (Raḍiyallāhu ‘Anhu) narrated that he heard the Messenger of Allāh (ﷺ) say: “Worthy amongst the Tābi'ī would be a person who would be called Uways. He would have his mother (living with him) and he would have (a small) sign of leprosy. Ask him to be...

TAFSEER OF THE DUA OR SUPPLICATION AFTER ABLUTION continues

 *_DAILY ISLAMIC REMINDER_* Yaum Arba'a | 7th day of Rabee-ul Awwal, 1448 AH | Wednesday, 19th August, 2026. *_TAFSEER OF THE DUA OR SUPPLICATION AFTER ABLUTION continues_*. BismilLah.  Let's conclude with our studies of the dua after ablution.  وَاجْعَلْنِي مِنَ الْمُتَطَهِّرِينَ Make me among those who purify themselves. This has both an outward and inward meaning. Outward purification: Keeping our bodies, clothes and places of worship clean. Inward purification: Purifying the heart from sins and diseases of the heart. A Muslim therefore seeks both: Clean body + clean heart + sincere worship = Successful Act of worship.  Every time you finish wudhu, think: “ALLAH Azzawajal has allowed me to wash myself before standing before HIM. May HE also purify my heart before I stand before HIM.” And then say the dua with understanding not merely with the tongue. *_May ALLAH Azzawajal make us among at-Tawwābīn (those who constantly repent) and al-Mutaṭahhirīn (those who purify...

Don't Forget This [[-Episode 22-]]

 Don't Forget This [[-Episode 22-]] ----------------- بسم الله الرحمان الرحيم Religious leaders preach patience but rarely hold men accountable for emotional neglect. The neglected wife is told to *"make dua"* (pray), while the husband faces no consequences for his imbalance. Also, Communities often turn a blind eye, whispering *"it’s a private matter"* or *"she should be more patient."* But as the proverb goes, *"The axe forgets, but the tree remembers."* These women carry scars no one sees.  Muslim Faithful! When a man marries multiple wives but fails to balance his affections, he doesn’t just break hearts—he fractures families. Yes. And the neglected wife watches as her co-wife’s children receive gifts, education, and paternal love, while her own are treated like afterthoughts. These women endure emotional trauma in silence, swallowing their pride because society tells them *"a good woman bears her pain with patience."* But patie...

Allah's Best Slave

 Allah's Best Slave ----------------- بسم الله الرحمان الرجيم Allah (swt) asks a powerful question in the Quran: أَمَّنۡ هُوَ قَٰنِتٌ ءَانَآءَ ٱلَّيۡلِ سَاجِدࣰا وَقَآئِمࣰا يَحۡذَرُ ٱلۡأٓخِرَةَ وَيَرۡجُواْ رَحۡمَةَ رَبِّهِۦۗ "Is the one who prays in the dark of the night, bowing and prostrating, who fears the Hereafter and hopes for his Lord's mercy, is that person like the one who does not?..." 📚(Quran 39:9) The answer is clear: No! They are not the same! Allah (swt) knows how hard it is. HE knows the war you have with your bed. HE sees you fighting your tired body and your sleepy eyes, all just to worship HIM. This is why Allah HIMSELF praises the people of Tahajjud. He says they are never, ever like those who squandered the entire night sleeping. My People, When you pray Tahajjud CONSISTENTLY, you are not an ordinary worshipper before Allah (swt). Yes. You are in the special list of Allah. You are doing something that makes you stand out. Furthermore, The Prophet...

DUA OR SUPPLICATION AFTER ABLUTION

 *_DAILY ISLAMIC REMINDER_* Yaum athalaatha | 5th day of Rabee-ul Awwal, 1448 AH | Tuesday, 18th August, 2026. *_DUA OR SUPPLICATION AFTER ABLUTION continues_*. BismilLah.  Let's continue with our studies of the dua after ablution.  وَأَشْهَدُ أَنَّ مُحَمَّدًا عَبْدُهُ وَرَسُولُهُ I bear witness that Muhammad is HIS servant and Messenger. Notice the Prophet sallallahu alaihi wasallam is described first as “HIS servant” (ʿabd) and then “HIS Messenger.” This teaches us something important: the greatest honour of a human being is to be a servant of ALLAH Azzawajal. We also affirm that Muhammad (S.A.W) is ALLAH'S Messenger, meaning we worship ALLAH Azzawajal according to the guidance brought by the Prophet not according to our personal desires. اللَّهُمَّ اجْعَلْنِي مِنَ التَّوَّابِينَ Oh ALLAH, Make me among those who constantly repent” At-Tawwābūn refers to people who repeatedly return to ALLAH Azzawajal in repentance. This is especially powerful after wudhu. Why? Because w...

DUA OR SUPPLICATION AFTER ABLUTION continues

 *_DAILY ISLAMIC REMINDER_* Yaum al-ithnayn | 4th day of Rabee-ul Awwal, 1448 AH | Monday, 17th August, 2026. *_DUA OR SUPPLICATION AFTER ABLUTION continues_*. BismilLah.  Tafseer and Reflection on the dua after ablution.  “I bear witness that there is no deity worthy of worship except ALLAH Azzawajal” أَشْهَدُ أَنْ لَا إِلٰهَ إِلَّا اللهُ Wudhu begins by washing the body, but this dua reminds us that true purification begins with the heart. We wash our face, hands, mouth, nose, head and feet, but the greatest purification is purification from: Shirk, Arrogance, Envy, Hatred Sins, Disobedience to ALLAH Azzawajal.  So every time we make wudhu, we should remind ourselves: “Just as I am washing my body, I must also work on cleansing my heart.” “Alone, without any partner” وَحْدَهُ لَا شَرِيكَ لَهُ This is a declaration of Tawheed. ALLAH Azzawajal is One in HIS LORDSHIP, WORSHIP, NAMES and ATTRIBUTES. Therefore, our worship, dua, hope, fear and ultimate reliance should b...

Tired or Retired?

 Tired or Retired? ----------------- بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم Sleep is an important part of living and is a way to recharge your batteries to prepare yourself to continue your daily activities. But, There is something about sleep many of us take for granted. Yes. Many of us take it that - *"It is a MUST for everyone who go to sleep to wake up from sleep"*- whereas, the matter of waking up from sleep is purely Allah's *The Dead And The One Sleeping:* In this life, the soul and the body are together except during sleep when the soul may leave the body and come back in the morning or anytime or Allah may take the soul at that time. Allah (swt) say: ٱللَّهُ يَتَوَفَّى ٱلْأَنفُسَ حِينَ مَوْتِهَا وَٱلَّتِى لَمْ تَمُتْ فِى مَنَامِهَا ۖ فَيُمْسِكُ ٱلَّتِى قَضَىٰ عَلَيْهَا ٱلْمَوْتَ وَيُرْسِلُ ٱلْأُخْرَىٰٓ إِلَىٰٓ أَجَلٍ مُّسَمًّى ۚ إِنَّ فِى ذَٰلِكَ لَءَايَٰتٍ لِّقَوْمٍ يَتَفَكَّرُونَ “It is Allah that takes the souls at death; and those that die not (He takes) during their sleep:...

A PATH TO ALLĀH’S PLEASURE

 FAJR REMINDER: A PATH TO ALLĀH’S PLEASURE By: Umm Affān Rabī' Al-Awwal 3, 1448 (16-August-2026) The scholars have pointed out that the Pleasure of Allāh is connected to the pleasure of one's parents, just as the Anger of Allāh is connected to their anger. Therefore, the one who leaves this world while his parent is angry with him has placed himself in a grave danger and exposed himself to the Anger of Allāh. Allāh (ﷻ) says: “And your Lord has decreed that you worship none but Him. And that you be dutiful to your parents.” [Sūrah Al-Isrā' (17): 23-24] This demonstrates the tremendous status of dutifulness to parents. Al-‘Iḥsān—the highest level of goodness—is not merely encouraged; it is a necessary obligation. Allāh has mentioned dutifulness to parents alongside worshipping Him alone, highlighting their great virtue and the seriousness of their rights. Therefore, the two are inseparable. You cannot attain complete dutifulness to Allāh while neglecting the rights of your pa...

STRENGTH IN SILENCE

 FAJR REMINDER: STRENGTH IN SILENCE By: Umm Affān Rabī' Al-Awwal 2, 1448 (15-August-2026) The gentle, soft-spoken, and quiet one—that was Ruqayyah (Raḍiyallāhu ‘Anha), the second daughter of the Prophet (ﷺ), and the daughter of our great mother, Khadījah Bint Khuwaylid (Raḍiyallāhu ‘Anha). Before Islām, Ruqayyah was engaged to ‘Utbah, the son of Abū Lahab, the well-known disbelieving uncle of the Prophet (ﷺ). Abū Lahab became accursed by Allāh in Sūrah Al-Masadd after he opposed and cursed the Prophet (ﷺ), and Allāh (ﷻ) responded on behalf of His Messenger saying: “Perish the two hands of Abū Lahab (an uncle of the Prophet), and perish he!” [Sūrah Al-Masadd (111): 1] Being related to the Prophet (ﷺ) was of no benefit to individuals such as Abū Lahab and Abū Ṭālib, his uncles, because they died upon disbelief. Indeed, Abū Lahab continues to be accursed. Shaykh Ibn ‘Uthaymīn (Raḥimahullāh) mentioned that among the uncles of the Prophet (ﷺ) was Abū Lahab, who opposed and fought agains...
