Sabrun Jamil - Patience

A day does not pass without a new claim,
That somewhere a Muslim is learning to maim.
“Islamic” terrorists who want to attack our way,
For them terror and bloodshed is their play.

I created these verses to deliver a seminar on death… Sometimes we do need to be woken up to the reality of the end…
Money is a necessity of life. In addition, sound money is a caretaker of life. Islam came with its legislation in consideration of this value that sound money has. Islam encourages one to obtain wealth by lawful means, and it guides us to manage it well and directs us to the best ways of increasing it.
Western Conceptions of Muslim Women

Praise be to Allah, the Lord of All the Worlds. May Allah’s peace and blessings be upon our Prophet Muhammad, the Seal of the Prophets, and upon his family and Companions.
After polytheism, the gravest sin is disobedience to the parents. A true Muslim cannot even imagine this evil act without being disgusted. Thankfulness, gentleness and gratitude are the three basic qualities that have made man to be a good person. One who does not plant these basic attitudes within themselves can fulfill neither his duties towards Allah nor the people: Hence, the Muslims who are obedient to Almighty Allah can never be disobedient or even careless to their parents.

Aqidah [Islamic Theology] in a Nutshell

Allaah said, “those who were given the Scriptures did not differ except out of mutual jealousy and hatred (bagyan) after knowledge had come to them.” Informing that their differing arose after the coming of knowledge that made clear to them as to what they should steer clear of – for indeed Allaah does not let a people become misguided after He guided them except after telling them what they should steer clear of.

O you who believe, respond to Allah and the Messenger when He calls you to what gives you life, and be sure that Allah intervenes between man and his heart, and that to Him you shall be gathered.
“Does my supplication make you happy?“
June 18, 2008
” Verily, there has come to you a Messenger from amongst yourselves. It grieves him that you should experience any injury or difficulty. He is anxious over you; for the believers, he is full of pity, kind, and merciful.“

The Continuity of Purposed Scholarship Methods In Najd
A few years back while reading through Shaikh Saleh Uthaymeen’s (r) Sharh of Shaikh Bakr Abo Zayd’s (r) Huliyat Talib al Ilm (A Work Based In The Pursuing Knowledge Genre) there were a number of issues that remained for me points of reflection. It is these matters of which I feel an intense desire to communicate and share with the reading audience.
The Islamic Ruling on working in a ‘Nashid’ group and Imitating Popstars? Shaykh Salih al-Munajjid
June 14, 2008
Q - I have been offered a job in an Islamic Nashid group [performing at weddings and so on]. What should I do? I am desperately in need of work.
al-Imam Siraj ad-Din Abu Hafs ‘Umar bin ‘Ali bin Musa bin Khalil al-Baghdadi al-Bazzar wrote a long, first hand account of the life of Ibn Taymiyyah, who was his personal friend and companion. The book is called ‘al-A’lam al-’Aliyyah fi Manaqib Ibn Taymiyyah,’ and this is a very, very small glimpse from it… The book has been translated and can be read HERE.
When on the first of October 1999 Shaykh Muhammad Nasir al-Din al-Albani passed away at the age of 85, he was mourned by virtually everyone in the world of Salafi Islam. To many, he represented its third main contemporary reference, after ‘Abd al-’Aziz bin Baz (who himself had died a few months before) and Muhammad bin ‘Uthaymin (who would pass away in January 2001), both leading figures of the Saudi religious establishment. Salafi newspapers, journals, and websites celebrated this Syrian son of an Albanian clock-maker—whose family left Albania in 1923, when he was nine years old, and re-established itself in Damascus—who had become known as the muhaddith al-’asr (traditionist of the era), that is, the greatest hadith scholar of his generation.

Free-Mixing Between Men and Women
June 5, 2008
The terms “mixing” and “mingling” are used frequently in discussions on the subject of male-female relations in Islam, but these terms were not used at the time the Qur’ân was revealed. For this reason, we cannot find direct references in the Qur’ân and Sunnah that say “free mixing between men and women is unlawful”. However, this does not mean that such conduct is permissible or that Islam has failed to address the matter. Islam has detailed the relationship between men and women in the most precise and exacting terms. It has set down clear guidelines to show men and women how they must conduct themselves with one another. From all of this, there can be no question that Islam prohibits the free mixing of the sexes.
