My local mosque came up with a fantastic approach because of which scores of young boys who used to miss salah are attending regularly, Alhamdulillah. Even the FAJR!!!

I want you to leave everything & read this FIRST! 👇

(2:43) "Establish Prayer and dispense Zakah (the Purifying Alms) and bow in worship with those who bow."

We all know, Allah SWT had commanded us to establish prayer.
This is an Obligation on us.

If young people are taught something there are chances that they'll hold it firm+

It is with great grief that I'm saying sometimes in the Fajr, the imam and muazzin wait for at least one musalli to start the prayer.

This is disgrace. May Allah forgive us.

So in order to avoid such time in coming future, we must teach our kids with great care and concern.+

The mosque management of three mosques around my house have collectively decided that, if any of the kids from 6-10 classes attend all the salahs for 40 consecutive days, they will be awarded with a GRAND NEW BICYCLE.

For some reason if any kid, couldn't attend all the 40 days +

He will be awarded with some or other gift or monetary rewards, each kid will be given participatory gifts too at the least.

They've announced this at Friday prayer in probably all the mosque of our division, +

This has to be said.

Classical Muslim scholars and jurists have categorized friendship with NON-MUSLIM into four levels and stages

1) Muwalat or Mawadda: This means to have close and intimate relationship and deep love and affection from one’s heart for a non-Muslim such that

it makes a Muslim unmindful of his faith.

This Mawadda is reserved only for Muslims; hence it is not permitted for a Muslim to have this type of friendship with non-Muslims. The verses of the Qur’an prohibiting Muslims from having intimate and close friendship with non-Muslims,

especially the first verse of Surah al-Mumtahina, is regarding this kind of relationship.

2) Mudarat: This means to express friendship and love only outwardly without having love for them and their beliefs internally. It is a mere outward expression of the first stage (muwalat),

hence it entails being pleasant, friendly, polite and kind towards non-Muslims. It involves expressing good manners, courtesy and good behavior towards fellow human beings.
This kind of relationship with non-Muslims is permitted, as it is reserved for all human beings, whether

Muslim or non-Muslim. This becomes even more important when the objective is to safeguard one’s self from potential harm, invite them towards Islam or when they are one’s guests. The verse of the Qur’an where Allah says “unless you [do so] as a protective measure [in order to]

Thread on Fasting from Imam Ghazali book "Inner Dimension of Islamic Worship"

Abu Hamid al-Ghazali is one of the great jurists, theologians and mystics of the 12th Century. He has written many books on philosophy , theology, mysticism etc.

#Ramadan2021 🌴🌙

According to Imam Ghazali there are 3 grades of
fasting

1. Ordinary Fasting: Abstaining from food, drink and
other desires.
This is the type of Fast that everyone observes

2. Special Fasting: Keeping your sense organ ( eyes , ear, tongue, hand, feet ) free from sin.

Jabir relates from Anas (RA). that the prophet, on him be peace, said: Five things break a mans Fast: lying, backbiting, gossiping, perjury and a lustful gaze.

This is practiced by righteous people .

3. Extra Special Fasting :

🍁This is Fasting of the heart from unworthy concerns and worldly thoughts, in total disregard of everything but Allah SWT.

🍁To the utmost dedication to Allah, disregarding everything else.
This fasting is practiced by prophets and Auliya Allah

🌴Fasting of the eyes :

• See not what displeases Allah SWT
• Restrained from viewing anything that is blameworthy
or reprehensible– That distracts the heart and diverts it
from the remembrance of Allah SWT.

[Thread: Wife Beating & Islam]
Opinions of famous classical Muslim scholars.

Imam Al-Desouki:
If the wife claims she has been beaten in transgression and the husband claims otherwise, then the wife is to be believed and the husband is to be reprehended (rebuked, …) by the judge

Imam Al-Desouki:
And if proof for transgression is shown and the wife wants to remain with him, then the judge is to beat the husband.

Imam Al-Desouki:
If the husband believes that his wife will not stop rebelling except by beating, then he’s not allowed to beat her.

Ibn Hajar Al Haithami:
If a husband knows that beating isn't helpful, then it becomes haram.

Al-Shafi‘i:
Beating is allowed, but avoiding it is better.

Maliki opinion:
Beating is allowed ONLY if it delivers the benefit intended from it. If it doesn't, then it's haram.

Ibn Hazm:
A wife has the right to divorce herself and right to retribution (or retaliation) if her husband beats her violently.

He is not allowed to beat his wife violently even if he knows she won’t stop rebelling by no other means and...
