Women that recieved the Glad Tidings of Jennah

بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم

Asalamu Alakyam Ramtuallahi Wa Barakahai,
MashAllah when I hear stories about the Sahabyat (Radi Allahu anhum) i'm in a state of awe. Wallahi they're manners and they're Taqwa would put us to shame. While these great women recieved glad tiding to Jennah and lived amongst the Prophet Muhammad (sal Allahu alayhi wa sallam). Here in the West we look up to women who don't even have a ounce of Imaan in their heart, it's heartbreaking. SubhanAllah. In the hadith below it shows the strength of these great women(r).


Bukhari and Muslim report that Anas said:
"On the day of Uhud, when some of the people ran away from the Prophet (PBUH), Abu Talhah stood before the Prophet (PBUH), defending him with a shield. Abu Talhah was a highly-skilled archer, and on that day he broke two or three bows. Whenever a man passed by who had a quiver full of arrows, he would say, `Give it to Abu Talhah.' Whenever the Prophet of Allah (PBUH) raised his head to see what was happening, Abu Talhah told him, `O Prophet of Allah, may my father and mother be sacrificed for you! Do not raise your head, lest an arrow strike you. May it hit my chest rather than yours.' He [Anas] said: I saw `A'ishah bint Abi Bakr and Umm Sulaym, both of whom had tucked up their garments so that their anklets were visible. They were carrying waterskins on their backs and were pouring water into the mouths of the people. They would go back and fill the waterskins again, then come and pour water into the mouths of the people again. Abu Talhah's sword fell from his hands two or three times because of exhaustion."108

"What a noble deed these two great women did in quenching the thirst of the mujahidin in the midst of a raging battle and in the intense heat of the Hijaz climate. They were moving about the
battlefield, not caring about the falling arrows and clashing swords that surrounded them. (From the book The Ideal Muslimah)." -I strongly recommend it for both females and males. For women to aspire to be like them and males to desire a wife that have some of the characteristic of the Sahabyat(Radi Allahu anhum).

If there was any good in this note then it was from Allah and if there were any mistakes then it was from myself and the Shaytan. Indeed the most truthful speech is the Book of Allah, and the finest guidance is the guidance of Muhammad (Sallahu alaihi wa salam).

Fitna and Hijab is Oppresion?

بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم

Fitna is unwanted, undesired and definitely disliked concerning the Believer. We try to take pre-cautions, choose the right friends, stay away from haram places ect., ect., ect. But what happens when Fitna is in our own home? We turn the TV on and almost every channel is promoting sexuality, violence or use-less talk. I'm talking about the majority of it fall into either of these three catergories. I was watching a commercial about M&M's and the green M&M was wearing stilettos and I thought to myself SubhanAllah. How do you turn a commercial about candy into something sexually explicit? The saddest part is for the people that aren't religious these things become the "norm". They become desensitized to all this when in reality it should bring outrage to the hearts of every man and women.

Solution: People just turn off your T.V's.. Trust me =]

MashAllah the beauty of the Hijab and a great blessing from Allah. It's just sad how people think we are oppressed in reality we are more liberated then they are. They condemn what they don't understand, they slander what they don't know. We proudly wear the Veil on our heads, while they shamefully wear the Veil on their hearts. Now let's us ask each other, who is more oppressed??

Our society changed their values but why do we have too?- Sheikh Khalid Yasin.

SubhanAllah. You hear these misconceptions that women wear the Hijab because they were forced or for a “guy”.Let me just clear this up a believing Muslimah covers her self because Allah Subahana wa Tala said too. In Surah an-Nur Ayah 31, Allah commands the believing women to cover their bosoms and not to display their ornaments. And our society wonders why we have problems with premarital sex, babies born before wedlock, self esteem issues, cosmetic surgery, sexual harassment and the list goes on. Maybe all that "liberation" is getting to peoples heads...

Some Words to Heal the Broken Heart

بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم

In the name of God, Most Gracious, Most Merciful

“The slave is not afflicted with a punishment greater in severity then the hardening of the heart and being distant from Allah. For the Fire was created to melt the hardened heart. The most distant heart from Allah is the heart which is hardened. If the heart becomes hardened, the eye becomes dry. Whosoever desires to purify his heart, then let him prefer Allah to his desires.
The heart which is clinging to its desires is veiled from Allah, commensurate to the degree that it is attached to them, the hearts are the vessels of Allah upon his earth, hence the most beloved of them to him, are the ones most compassionate, pure and resistant to deviation.

They (the transgressors) preoccupied their hearts [in the pursuance] of the Dunya, would that they preoccupied them with Allah and the hereafter, then surely they would have reflected upon the intended meaning of his poignant words and verses. Their hearts would have returned to their masters with wisdom, marvelously curious and [in possession] of the rarest of precious gems.

If the heart is nourished with remembrance, its thirst quenched with contemplation and cleansed from corruption, it shall witness remarkable and wondrous matters, inspiring wisdom.
Not every individual who is endowed with knowledge and wisdom, and assumes its character is form amongst its people. Rather the people of knowledge and wisdom are those who infused life into their hearts by slaying their desires.
