TREATY OF HUDAYBIYYAH – BAYATUL RIDWAN – THE MESSENGER MAKES A DEAL WITH THE MUSHIRKS OF MAKKAH – CHRONOLOGICAL SERIES OF EVENTS

July 17, 2013

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

10 REASONS FOR GAINING THE LOVE OF ALLAH – HOW DO I GAIN THE LOVE OF MY CREATOR

March 13, 2013

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?

CONDENSED SHARI RULINGS FOR MUSLIM WOMEN IN THE WEST AND BEYOND – FIQH OF FAMILY – GUESTS – SWIMMING POOLS – MODESTY – MASAJID

November 11, 2012

Being a woman in this day and age is difficult, and being a Muslim Woman carries even more weight. The Muslim woman just like the Muslim man is expected to act in accordance to the Qur’an and Sunnah.

However, saying that, for those that live in the west the line becomes blurry, we get outdated fatawa from scholars who have never visited a cinema or seen a place like Movie World, and with all due respect we take fatawa on thousands of issues from the Ulama, but when it comes to specific fiqh of that which is cutomary to people in the west and that which in common only in the west, we need to look for people who understand that way of life.

I hope to cover a large portion of hat I deem appropriate and relevant to every Muslimah in the west, in sha Allah. … More CONDENSED SHARI RULINGS FOR MUSLIM WOMEN IN THE WEST AND BEYOND – FIQH OF FAMILY – GUESTS – SWIMMING POOLS – MODESTY – MASAJID
