One of the most momentous incidents in the seerah is the treaty of Hudaybiyyah. So much Fiqh is derived from the treaty as well as from the Bayatul Ridwan (The pledge of allegiance to fight the Quraysh if they attacked the Muslims), which also took place at the same time.
This article is a rough draft of the chapter on the treaty from my upcoming Seerah Work… Please make dua that Allah allows me to finish it and so that others may benefit from it, I am trying to keep it easy reading with facts thrown in. In sha Allah, I will also touch on Fiqh and Aqeedah points as we come across them.
What I am trying to do is piece together a chronological series of events that will in sha Allah give the reader a good understanding of the series of events that happened right before Hudaybiyyah and right after it also. … More TREATY OF HUDAYBIYYAH – BAYATUL RIDWAN – THE MESSENGER MAKES A DEAL WITH THE MUSHIRKS OF MAKKAH – CHRONOLOGICAL SERIES OF EVENTS
An-Nawawi may Allah have mercy on him said: It is mustahabb to pray two rak‘ahs or more before ‘Isha’, because of the hadeeth of ‘Abdullah ibn Maghfal,
“Allaah will build a house in Heaven for whoever is diligent in observing 12 Sunnah Rak’aat (as follows): 4 Rak’aat before and 2 after the Dhuhr (Midday) Prayer, 2 after the Maghrib (Sunset Prayer), 2 after the ‘Ishaa’ (Evening) Prayer and 2 before the Fajr (Dawn) Prayer.” Hadith sahih … More PROOF FOR FOUR 4 RAKAAT BEFORE ‘ISHA – I PRAY FOUR RAKA’AT SUNNAH BEFORE ‘ISHA – SUNNAH OR NOT?
One of the concerning matters which have now come about (last 5-10 years), is the matter of Muslims leaving populations of people and establishing their own little villages, where there are 10-15 houses and they are completely isolated from the people and the jamaah of the Muslim body.
Many times when asked why do you do such and such act, they will reply we are trying to salvage our emaan by moving away from the sinners and their like. This practice has become so common in Bosnia, that there are now multiple villages where only people of a certain manhaj live. Now from a distance one may say, there is nothing wrong here, they have seperated themselves from the Dhalimeen and the Kufar, but here is where the problem starts, because they have also seperated themselves from the Muslimeen.
And in many cases the owners of these houses live in the west, living in the lands of the Kufar and paying taxes in the lands of the Kufar, enjoying satellite TV, fast internet and all the latest gadgets, but when they come to Bosnia on a holiday, they proudly live in a Shari Village, with no electricity or internet access, but only for a few weeks. … More SHARI VILLAGES AND LEAVING THE MAIN BODY OF MUSLIMS – WE MUST MIX WITH THE PEOPLE – ARE SHARI VILLAGES A REALITY?
Giving preference to what He likes over what you like, at the times in which the whims overcome you, and seeking what He likes even if it is difficult. Ibn Al-Qayim (may Allah mercy him) says: “Giving preference to the satisfaction of Allah, the Exalted and Glorious, over the satisfaction of anyone else means to want and to do whatever brings His satisfaction even if it dissatisfied the creatures. This is the rank of Ithar, and its superior status is for the messengers of Allah (prayers and peace of Allah be upon them), and the superior of this status is for the Messengers of strong will, and the superior among those is our Prophet, Muhammad (prayers and peace of Allah be upon him). And all of that could not be attained without three things:
1- Defeating the whims of the self.
2- Doing the contrary to the whims of the self.
3- Fighting Satan and his supporters. … More 10 REASONS FOR GAINING THE LOVE OF ALLAH – HOW DO I GAIN THE LOVE OF MY CREATOR
One of the most important qualifications and merits that the sahaba of rasulAllah (peace be upon him) had, was first and foremost the name sahaba.
Sahaba means, they met and believed in the Messenger while he was alive peace be upon him. Another merit of the Sahaba was that they participated in blessed ghazawat, many passed away as shuhada and their status is known.
However there were a special ten sahaba, who were promised Jannah while they were alive as testified by rasulAllah peace be upon him. … More 10 PROMISED JANNAH – ASHARA MUBASHARA – WHICH SAHABA ARE PROMISED PARADISE – IS THE “TEN PROMISED JANNAH” HADITH SAHIH?

One of the most common things that Muslims are faced with daily, IS ANTI MUSLIM PROPAGANDA. And unlike the Jews who label anything resembling critique of Israel or the Jewish fate as ANTI SEMMITISM, the poor old Muslims just take it on the chin and plot along.
Allah Subhanaahu Wa Ta’ala has informed us that there will always be people who intend to misrepresent Islam and make it appear evil. Our modern term for this is “Islamophobia,” which means spreading fear and hatred of Islam. Most people who are against Islam have simply been given misinformation and we should help to provide them with an accurate view of Islam, while others deliberately slander the religion even after they know the truth. … More ANTI MUSLIM PROPAGANDA – HOW DO I DEAL WITH SO MUCH ANTI MUSLIM SENTIMENT – I CAN’T COPE WITH THE PRESSURE OF BEING A MUSLIM – MOVEMENTS AGAINST ISLAM – ISLAMOPHOBIA
