  • Eating with 3 fingers

    Eating with three fingers in the Sunnah On the authority of Ka'b bin Malik - may God be pleased with him - he said: I saw the Messenger of God - may God bless him and grant him peace - eating with three fingers, and when he finished he licked them. narrated by Muslim On the authority of Anas - may God be pleased with him - he said: When the Messenger of God - may God bless him and grant him peace - ate food, he would lick his three fingers, He said: He ordered us to lick the bowl, and he said: “You do not know in which of your food the blessing lies.” narrated by Muslim. Some pauses for the previous Hadiths 1 - This is the Messenger of God - may God bless him and grant him peace - eating with his honorable hands, and he urges Muslims to eat with his hands. Whoever taught him the etiquette of some types of food, they are eaten with the hand, such as chicken or bread, and in etiquette they are called finger foods. And whoever knew - may God bless him and grant him peace - that it has countless benefits, to the point that some restaurants in the West serve the idea of food by hand. May God’s blessings be upon you, my Messenger. God has taught you what you did not know, and we are learning from you after 1445 years. Thank you, Messenger of God. A word to new mothers Have mercy on your child: unless we learn it, teach it to your children and refine the method to be consistent with general eating etiquette (of course we are talking about Muslim etiquette). It is possible that you can look for finger foods untisels like silicone fingers and this the least of faith - if so to speak - to put in your child’s hand and teach him to eat with his hand so that he can benefit from the list of benefits that we will mention after a wile in this file. Now: With the proven scientific benefits of eating with three fingers on the right hand Eating with a spoon or with your hands? Find out what's best for your health Eating with hands has its good old history in India. Not only was it an integral part of our traditions, but it was also the simplest way to eat. Nowadays, there are still many people who still eat with their hands. With flashy and luxurious cutlery taking over our traditions, most people find eating with spoons more convenient. But did you know that eating with your hands has its own list of health benefits? Increases blood circulation Eating with your hands is a great exercise that helps with blood circulation. Be it mixing your food together or shaping bites of dal and roti, using your hands gets your joints and fingers moving, which is the equivalent of any hand exercise. It helps you maintain the proportion of food Eating with your hands is a relatively slow process than eating with a spoon. Thus, you not only spend more time chewing food, but you also eat less than you would normally eat with a spoon. contact with food Eating food with hands has been an ancient tradition in our Indian culture. In those times, people not only used their hands to eat but also used to sit on the floor while eating meals. Although it has evolved to include luxury cutlery and dining tables, eating with one's hands still holds a special relationship with each of us. Eating with our hands not only makes us feel nostalgic but also makes us form a connection with what we eat. Better digestion Our hands, stomach, and intestines are home to certain bacteria that are said to protect us from disease. Eating with our hands helps these bacteria enter our bodies and protects our digestive system from exposure to harmful bacteria. Make sure to wash your hands well with soap and water before sitting down to eat meals. May prevent type 2 diabetes Eating with spoons and cutlery is associated with speed of eating which has been linked to blood sugar imbalance in the body. This may lead to type 2 diabetes. According to a study published in the journal Clinical Nutrition, people with type 2 diabetes were more likely to eat fast and use cutlery, compared to people without the condition. It has already been proven that eating with your hands slows down the eating process and thus prevents you from developing type 2 diabetes. Provides healthy bacteria Many healthy bacteria live in the skin of the hands. These healthy plants can protect the body from the attack of other destructive bacteria that invade the external environment. Eating with our hands can therefore help boost our digestive system's natural immunity against environmental bacterial germs. However, make sure to wash your hands properly before eating and also trim your nails. Prevents burning the tongue Your hands can also act as temperature sensors. When an individual eats with a fork, they may not realize how hot the food is because it goes directly from the plate to their mouth. In contrast, when you touch food while eating it with your hands, the nerve endings of your fingertips transmit the temperature reading to the brain, thus preventing you from burning your tongue. The nerve endings on our fingertips can physically stimulate digestion, lighting up our brains and signaling to our stomachs that we’re about to eat, meaning you’ll have a heightened experience of taste, textures, and smell. It's natural Eating with your hands is a common practice in many cultures, especially Indian, because Indian cuisine seems like the most natural thing to do. Now imagine having dal and roti with fork and knife? Or trying to eat a non-vegetarian bone-in delicacy with a fork? It's completely impractical. Hence, hands are preferred over fine cutlery. A new study has found that babies who use their fingers to eat during the weaning process are less likely to become obese than those who are spoon-fed pureed foods Dear Muslim who follows Islamic etiquette: 1 - You follow a forgotten Sunnah of your Messenger Muhammad - may God bless him and grant him peace - which the West follows today in the most expensive and famous restaurants that have begun to adopt this idea (eating with the finger) and not with a fork and knife. 2 - Do not forget to remind others of it while you enjoy its benefits, because by doing so you are reviving a forgotten Sunnah of the Messenger of God. 3 - Infants who have just started eating, mother, do not forget to wash your hands and then feed him with your hand, based on the Sunnah of your Prophet Muhammad - may God bless him and grant him peace. Note What is silicone? Silicone is a type of synthetic polymer that is more heat resistant compared to organic polymers. It is widely used and commercialised in many industries including personal care, coating, automotive, electronics, chemicals, etc. due to its durability, easy to manufacture, and stable over a wide range of temperatures. Most silicone products can withstand up to 260°C. You should not confuse “silicone” with “silicon” because they are not the same. Silicon is used to manufacture semiconductors in electronics whereas silicone does not conduct electricity. Rubber silicone (Polysiloxane) is the form of silicone that is commonly used in kitchenware. FDA compliant The FDA recognised silicone as safe to use as food-grade materials (food-grade silicone) in 1979. It is advisable to buy only FDA-approved silicone utensils. The FDA inspects the manufacturing process and post-production of silicone kitchen utensils to ensure that they are safe for preparing food.

  • The yawning

    On the authority of Abu Hurairah, may God be pleased with him, on the authority of the Prophet, may God’s prayers and peace be upon him, he said “God loves sneezing and hates yawning, so if one of you sneezes and praises God, every Muslim who hears it should say, May God have mercy on you, and as for yawning, it is from Satan, so if one of you yawns, let him stop it as much as he can God Almighty hates yawning, so if one of us yawns too much, it is Sunnah for him to stop it as much as he can, The Messenger, may God bless him and grant him peace, does not like to yawn, but wants us to stop it as much as possible, and researches these days gives us some benefits to the yawning to enhance the capabilities of our minds, so do we want it or leave it for the sake of our brains? Let's start: The pro of yawning Yawning regulates brain temperature and thus improves mental efficiency - Biologists have discovered a surprising relationship between the length of time mammals yawn and how large and complex their brains are. They think it may also be a sign of increased cognitive ability. It appears that the duration of a yawn may be related to cognitive ability. - It describes / feeling tired or hot The Cons of yawning Yawning means you are bored Yawning means that you expel excess carbon dioxide, which has built up because you started breathing slower because you were so bored that you wanted to die. Yawning is contagious - If you are in a meeting and the guy next to you yawns but it doesn't happen in secret, you also yawn (and this may disrupt the meeting) Escape of the soul from the body Some ancient cultures believed that when men or women yawned, the soul was trying to escape, and that the act of covering the mouth helped prevent the soul from leaving the body. Now: Why do you think that the Messenger of God - may God bless him and grant him peace: orders us to fight yawning as much as we can? As you saw in the above context, research indicates many benefits to enhance the capabilities of our minds by yawning, and in some of them it says that it works as a screensaver for your brain to reduce its temperature, and this yawning lasts for 6 seconds at the latest, so why does the Messenger- peace be uopn him - guide us to the opposite? ? In fact, we do not know exactly this, but some pauses are possible: 1- The Islamic religion includes the whole of life, so the Prophet could not ignore etiquette, even a small one, that surrounds our life from every aspect, from the small to the great. 2 - That it is not considered high manners in some cultures, and that whoever does that would be tantamount to lack of taste if the person who yawns is hosting people. 3 - As we have seen above, in some cultures it may be considered tantamount to the exit of the soul, and perhaps the Messenger - may God bless him and grant him peace - wanted us to move away from the bad habits that are disputed. 4 - Religions came only to fight customs, especially the bad ones, why? Perhaps because the Islamic religion is a global religion, and not specific to a specific region, so its supporters will be spread among people and have the same behavior, so people, especially Muslims among them, will be superior to socially undesirable habits. 5 - Also: Perhaps the Messenger - may God’s prayers and peace be upon him - wants us to fight yawning while we are among people as common tastes, and in the most general case, a person among us lives among people and does not live alone, so he gets used to practicing the good thing while he is alone as he is among people.

  • The Islamic solutions for slaves

    Pass it to others, maybe what you can't, someone else can Going back to the early years in the Quraish when Islam entered people's lives as a new religion, the slave trade between the Arabs was intense and active in the regions of West Asia, North Africa and East Africa, This activity reached its lowest levels at theend of the nineteenth century. Slaves are human beings and have rights based on their humanity, Slave Muslims are equal with free Muslims in religion, The prophet Peace Be Upon Him said ) Is there no preference for an Arab over a non-Arab, nor for a non-Arab over an Arab? And there is no red over black, nor black over red, except with piety) Narrated by Imam Ahmad. what's Islam Offer to free them 1 - (Marrying) from woman slave or man slave Evidence: He (peace be upon him) said: “Any man who had a slave woman, discipline and discipline her well, teach her and teach her well, Free her and marry her, for he will have the reward of God.” (The Prophet himself did this) Safiya bint Hayy ( Jweish) is a Coptic slave, who was gifted by the Byzantine emperor to the Prophet Muhammad, may God bless him and grant him peace. She gave birth to Ibrahim bin Muhammad, whom the Prophet, may God bless him and grant him peace, loved very much, She was released, and she became the wife of the Prophet, may God bless him and grant him peace, and according to Islamic law, she converted to Islam and became the wife of the Prophet, may God bless him and grant him peace. She lived more than a decade after becoming a widow and became involved in politics and was an early force in the Muslim community. Cyrine the Coptic Sister of Maria the Coptic The Messenger, may God bless him and grant him peace, gave her to the poet Hassan bin Thabit, who freed her and married her. The adoption Before the prohibition of adoption, the Prophet (peace be upon him) was not satisfied with freeing and adopting Zaid, but also married him to his foster mother (Umm Ayman), whom he had freed in turn and even he (peace be upon him) He is married to his cousin Al-Hasiba Al-Nassiba: which mean: rich, high class (Zainab bint Jahsh) In breaking the tribal customs of ignorance, destroying class differences, and applying equality between slaves and masters on the ground. Buy a slave - Bilal bin Rabah - He was an Abyssinian slave, and at first he belonged to Umayyah ibn Khalaf until Abu Bakr freed him because of his conversion to Islam, then the first muezzin of the Prophet Muhammad, may God bless him and grant him peace, became the slaves released after entering Islam, (Abu al-Ala al-Mawdudi says) It was reported that Muhammad released at least 63 slaves. (Mir Ismail, medieval historian) He began by changing the name of the slave and correcting it, and it is written in "Beach the Sea" that there In the house of the .Messenger and his companions, part of the slaves were released Free him/her from money zakat The Almighty said (Indeed, alms are for the poor, the needy, and those working on it, and those whose hearts are beloved to Muslims: the newly entrants to Islam, and in the necks: the slaves, and those in debt, and those who are astray in the way of God, an ordinance from God, and God is Knowing,Wise) Melk al-Yamen (female slave) Allah says {وَبِالْوَالِدَيْنِ إِحْسَاناً وَبِذِي الْقُرْبَى وَالْيَتَامَى وَالْمَسَاكِينِ وَالْجَارِ ذِي الْقُرْبَى وَالْجَارِ الْجُنُبِ وَالصَّاحِبِ بِالجَنبِ وَابْنِ السَّبِيلِ وَمَا مَلَكَتْ أَيْمَانُكُمْ إِنَّ اللّهَ لاَ يُحِبُّ مَن كَانَ مُخْتَالاً فَخُوراً) {And be benevolent to parents, and to kin, and orphans, and the needy, and the neighbour, and the neighbor by side, and the companion in the side and the son of the way, and what you possess of a slave woman or slave, God does not like the arrogant proud) If the mujahid owns a female slave or slave, then it is permissible for him to sell them, and in both cases - the ownership from the battle or from the sale - In the case of the Mujahid who owns Ummah: slave woman It is not permissible for a man to have intercourse with a female slave until after she has menstruated, in which it is known that her womb is free of pregnancy. If she is pregnant, then he must wait until she gives birth. On the authority of Ruwafa’ bin Thabit al-Ansari, he said: I heard the Messenger of God, may God bless him and grant him peace, say on the day of Hunayn, he said: “It is not permissible for a person who believes in God and the Last Day, To irrigate his water for the planting of others - meaning: intercourse  the pregnant women - And it is not permissible for a person who believes in God and the Last Day to fall upon a woman from captivity until he has cleared her " meaning: sh's not pregnant", and it is not permissible for a person who believes in God and the Last Day to sell spoils until it is divided.” Narrated by Abu Dawood (2158), and Sheikh Al-Albani graded it as authentic in “Sahih Abi Dawood” (1890). The correspondence ( والَّذِينَ يَبْتَغُونَ الْكِتَابَ مِمَّا مَلَكَتْ أَيْمَانُكُمْ:" العبد والأمه" ، فَكَاتِبُوهُمْ إِنْ عَلِمْتُمْ فِيهِمْ خَيْرًا ۖ وَآتُوهُم مِّن مَّالِ اللَّهِ الَّذِي آتَاكُمْ ۚ) (And those who desire the Book of what your oaths possess: “The slave and the ummah,” so write them down if you know something good in them and give them from the wealth of God that has given you) If the slave wants freedom, he comes to his master and knows him, what he wants and agrees with him on a financial value to be paid by the slave, from his own work - which the master gives time for him - and they write between them a book to which the people testify. Second how to dealing with them Justly? Not giving him the title of slave rather give him a good nickname Let not one of you say: feed your Lord, make your Lord ablution, water your Lord, and say: My master, and none of you should say: My servant, my woman slave, rather say: My boy, my girl,my young boy, Until they end up unable to express their thoughts and expressions and return to their own world where they live without labels and are free, in being themselves. However, these worlds are not very realistic, and isolation graduates to more serious problems such as identity crisis, substance dependence, often to antisocial behavior patterns. Not to kill a slave, cut him off (cut off his nose or a part of his limbs) or castrate him “his testicles were extracted or removed.” 4515 - On the authority of Samra, that the Prophet, may God’s prayers and peace be upon him, said: “Whoever kills his servant, we will kill him, and whoever cuts off: cuts off his nose or one of his limbs, his servant will cut him, Then he mentioned the hadith of Shu’bah and Hammad. Abu Dawud said: It was narrated by Abu Dawud al-Tayalisi, on the authority of Hisham, similar to the hadith of Muadh. Labeling people causes them to lose motivation and self-esteem because it shuts down the mind of the person who sticks to the label. The designer gets a general idea of the subject, He is not allowed any room for change or improvement. When we put labels on people, we take away any chance for them to rise above expectations Not eating their money of the sold In a hadith al-Qudsi: God Almighty said: (In a Qudsi hadith he says - may God’s prayers and peace be upon him-: (God said: There are three, I will be their opponent on the Day of Resurrection: A man gave by me and then treacherously, and a man sold a free man and ate his price, and a man hired a worker and he fulfilled it and he was not given his wages. Not slander throwing him what he didn't do Defamation: falling into adultery, homosexuality, or denying parentage, or a child, and it is by explicit speech or writing) The Messenger of God - may God’s prayers and peace be upon him - said: “Whoever slanders his slave who is innocent of what he said, the punishment will be imposed on him on the Day of Resurrection except he as he said) It is not hidden from anyone, for example, to claim a moral crime in a closed society, such as Arab societies in particular, the newcomers to Islam, and its effect on the soul of the recipient, especially if he is innocent. Third: Rewords for who's freed them Whoever sets him free (protection from the fire on the Day of Resurrection) The Prophet, may God’s prayers and peace be upon him, said: “Whoever frees the slave of a Muslim, God will free every part of him from the fire, even his privte part by his privte part) . Whoever frees them will have two rewards: like the reward of the People of the Book if they embrace Islam The Messenger of God - may God’s prayers and peace be upon him - said: “If a man disciplines his ummah, then depline her, deciplaine her well, and teaches her well, then he freed her and married her, and he had two wages, and if he believes in Jesus, then believes in me, he will have two rewards, and if a servant pious his Lord and obeys his masters, he will have two rewards.) Al - Bukhari The reward for storming Aqaba Aqaba: the difficult ascent from the mountains Allah says فَلَا اقْتَحَمَ الْعَقَبَةَ ۝ وَمَا أَدْرَاكَ مَا الْعَقَبَةُ ۝ فَكُّ رَقَبَةٍ ۝ So do not break into the obstacle, and what makes you know what the obstacle is, untie a neck. Fourth: The Penances for the great sins The Atonement for manslaughter The Almighty said: (Whoever kills a believer by mistake, you will set free a believing' neck ) You know how many doctors by medical error kill a believing soul, or a car accident, or others. Whoever causes the death of a believer by mistake has to free a slave, If the wrongful killing was from a tribe or country, between you and them there is a treaty, then it is the solution 1- A ransom that you give to the family of the dead 2 - Freeing a believer's neck 3- If you are not able to do this or that, then fast for two consecutive months without interruption. Zuhar Penance A man forbids his wife against himself and makes her like his mother And those who say to their women, “You are upon us like the backs of our mothers,” and then they regret about what they said, liberate a neck before they touch, that is what you are admonishing, and God is well-acquainted with what you do.) The Penance for gross oaths Allah says لا يُؤَاخِذُكُمُ اللَّهُ بِاللَّغْوِ فِي أَيْمَانِكُمْ وَلَكِنْ يُؤَاخِذُكُمْ بِمَا عَقَّدْتُمُ الأَيْمَانَ فَكَفَّارَتُهُ إِطْعَامُ عَشَرَةِ مَسَاكِينَ مِنْ أَوْسَطِ مَا تُطْعِمُونَ أَهْلِيكُمْ أَوْ ...كِسْوَتُهُمْ أَوْ تَحْرِيرُ رَقَبَةٍ God will not punish you for the nonsense in your oaths, God will not punish you for the nonsense in your oaths from what you feed your family, or clothe them, or free a neck). The atonement for intercourse during the day in Ramadan The expiation is the freeing of a believing slave with ability, If he is unable to fast for two consecutive months while he is able, then if he is unable to feed sixty poor people, the value is not sufficient, food for each one half a saa’ of dates, or rice, from the staple food of the country, equivalent to approximately one and a half kilos of food that people eat.

  • The differances

    Allah says وَلَوْ شَاءَ رَبُّكَ لَجَعَلَ النَّاسَ أُمَّةً وَاحِدَةً وَلا يَزَالُونَ مُخْتَلِفِينَ ۝ إِلَّا مَنْ رَحِمَ رَبُّكَ وَلِذَلِكَ خلَقَهُمْ وتَمَّتْ كَلِمَةُ رَبِّكَ لَأَمْلأَنَّ جَهَنَّمَ مِنَ الْجِنَّةِ وَالنَّاسِ أجْمَعِينَ [هود:118-119] And if had your Lord willed, He would have made the people one nation, and they would not cease to differ, except those on whom your Lord has mercy, and for that He created them, and the word of your Lord was fulfilled, I will fill Hell with jinn and all people [Hud: 118-119] We benefit from the verse on several axes Action is related to God's will God is not like human beings whose will is one thing and they are forced to do something else, but He - Glory be to Him - if He wills something, He does it, and here if He wants to make us all: on the heart of one man, In thinking, knowing, and understanding about Him, Glory be to Him - or about life, or in one belief to do, but it is not His will. And they are still different They are still an act of continuity, i.e. not in a period of time alone or with some persons within another group. Rather, it is a way of life Except from the mercy of your Lord It indicates that the difference, despite some of its praiseworthy benefits, is division and fragmentation. There is always a nation united on one word, whether this nation is not determined by a specific time, or a specific place, they meet and unite on the idea and those whom God has mercy on That is why He created them: This is strange.. As if the main purpose of our creation as human beings was to be different in thought, color, belief in God, belief, and thought in life, This is the essence of wealth, and this is the essence of choice. It is said in the proverb (who is more fertile, he may chose or confuse) for those who have fertility in information, Or things, it was easy for him to choose what he wanted, so there is nothing we should forced on him. As if the verse tells us not to be surprised or collapse when you find the differences in your life and to walk in it. The wonder is that you are not different from others, we do not say to a small or large group that you belong to it - this is possible - but it is not possible for you to come out partly away from this group and show people the same way of thinking, values and morals, and this is what the noble verse talks about that you can unite with a group (one nation) In ideas and values...etc. But it is not possible for all people to be in this way, so do not let the dispute break out between you. Why? Because it is one of the goals of nature, the universe, as nature is full of you from the beginning of the dinosaur - even if it became extinct - to small insects that can hardly be seen with the naked eye, and it was so easy for God to copy infinite numbers of the first copy of the dinosaur, for example, and distribute it to all the planet Earth, and He does not create shapes, types, sizes, and colors of creatures between dinosaurs and insects, rather, the act of this diversity in nature also exists among people and through it, if they agree, or groups of them agree on the same goals, a nation without people and with their differences produces the best kind of brainstorming that produces all the innovations you see around you, to the structures that bear the stamp of art, to even diseases and viruses that have never been seen before... This is the tax of difference The difference has aspects that are praiseworthy and others that are reprehensible, before we know what they are exactly, we must know that whenever we are distinguished by something, we differ from others, and people do not like someone who is distinguished over them, so envy and hatred ensues, perhaps fighting for personal interests and the fear of losing their interests, let's take a look at some of the pros and cons: The positive effects of difference It makes it possible - if the intent is to be believed - to identify all the possibilities that could be evidence, and throw them to the face of the evidence. A sport for the mind Cross pollination Opening areas of thinking to reach other assumptions that minds can reach Multiple solutions for the owner of each incident to find the appropriate solution to the situation that is commensurate with the reality of their lives Giving individuals self-confidence and the ability to confront and find solutions Difference of opinion is mercy because it is impossible to convince people of one opinion The negative effects of difference Killing the competencies and draining the rest of the non-emergence of energies Rely on one canned idea Increased delay and distance from civilization. Is Islam keen on etiquette for disagreement or leave the matter to us? No: Islam addressed Muslims with several verses in the Qur’an that improve and control the relationship in the event of disagreement. Let us refer to some of them: Allah says يا دَاوُودُ إِنَّا جَعَلْنَاكَ خَلِيفَةً فِي الْأَرْضِ فَاحْكُم بَيْنَ النَّاسِ بِالْحَقِّ وَلَا تَتَّبِعِ الْهَوَى فَيُضِلَّكَ عَن سبِيلِ اللهِ إِنَّ الَّذِينَ يَضِلُّونَ عَن سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ لَهُمْ عَذَابٌ شدِيدٌ بمَا نَسُوا يَوْمَ الْحِسَابِ) O David, we made you a caliph in the land, so judge between the people with justice, and do not follow your desires, lest they lead you astray from the path of God, those who stray from the way of God will have a severe punishment because they forgot the Day of Judgment.) 1- By regular reading, what do you understand from the verse without the interpretation of the distinguished scholars? God - the Almighty - talk to whom in the verse? A prophet of the faithful prophets who killed the enemy of God and the enemy of the believers in his time (Goliath) and he is a young soldier, and he is now a judge and a king at the same time, i.e. combining the virtues of the world, the king and the judiciary between people, and with this comes a warning to him from God - Almighty- why? we are more deserving of this warning than a prophet from God’s prophets. He is a role model for all judges who will come after him, not only in his time, but in all ages, I cannot imagine a Muslim judge teaching verses about the judiciary in the Qur’an that he did not study during his studies or even read them to educate himself, so when there is disagreement, it is necessary to set aside whims and personal interests away from people's rights 2 - Disagree, and your difference must be recognized by everyone around you: but let you have limits while dealing with those around you Allah says ﴿ يَا أَيُّهَا الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا لَا يَسْخَرْ قَوْمٌ مِنْ قَوْمٍ عَسَى أَنْ يَكُونُوا خَيْرًا مِنْهُمْ وَلَا نِسَاءٌ مِنْ نِسَاءٍ عَسَى أَنْ يَكُنَّ خَيْرًا مِنْهُنَّ O you who have believed, do not deride a people, perhaps that they be better than they are, and no women from other women who may be better than them people that they got faithed  An appeal to believers in particular: What does this mean? Does this mean that non-believers are outside these orders? rather, it means that if you do not do that, then you are outside the limits of your faith in those moments when you do that. Don't scoff Dear reader, no (it is called La al-Nahiya in the Arabic language), which means that it is a strong prohibition, mockery of a people by a people, what is the definition of a people? They are a group of veiled people mocking a non-veiled group, Let us assume that the West mocks the way the East dresses, or vice versa, the East mocks the West's way of life, and so on... This is forbidden, Why is the verse explaining something strange? (Maybe they are better than them) How is this when they are being mocked in the first place? So to God Almighty - a view of things that is not like our personal perspectives, you may condemn the one who dresses in a way that you do not like, so he will be better and purer in religion than you. You have a arrogance and he is humble and ashamed of his disobedience, as they say maybe, obedience bequeathed glory and arrogance, and perhaps disobedience bequeathed humiliation and brokenness) and the Humiliation and brokenness are among the nearest and quickest ways to reach God Almighty. And no women Women, Lord, from among the people? Why do we talk about them too? Women in their societies in particular are the most jealous and envious people ever, and talk behind each other, and even sarcasm is a major part of their conversations, and why did they stop? For the same reason, it is possible that the one you are talking about and making fun of is better with God than you are. 3- When misunderstanding (avoid suspicion) Allah says يَا أَيُّهَا الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا اجْتَنِبُوا كَثِيرًامِّنَ الظَّنِّ إِنَّ بَعْضَ الظَّنِّ إِثْمٌ O you who believe, avoid much suspicion, for some suspicion is sinful. Do not think badly of a word emanating from your brother when you find a good explanation for it.) On Omar, there is no objection to mistakes. It is a cheap attempt to triumph over the other, so that we can go to the depths and delve into its history, we track down a stumbling block and then publicize it, whether it is a person, an entity, or an idea that we reject. Of course, friction and action generate some errors, no one can claim infallibility and help the other overcome his mistakes and try to close them, so most of the suspicions are sinful, and some of the suspicions that you think about the other is correct, so never overpower the little. in conclusion 1 - It is not a shame to differ, as the difference shows your individuality and your distinction and that you are not a duplicate of one of them. It is important that you search for aspects of agreement before the disagreement while dealing with the other. 2 - Learn the etiquette of disagreement and do not be a duplicate copy of the Arabic talk show when disagreeing 3 - If God - the Almighty - wanted to create duplicate copies of the same shape, color, size, etc., He would have done it, but we were created different, so let us enjoy this difference. 4 - The clay of the earth is not one color, rather it is red, black and white, and some of it is difficult and easy, so I acknowledge the difference in the origin from which we were formed and there is no contradiction of the difference because it is a cosmic Sunnah and instinct.

  • The Giving up does not mean failure

    ِAllah says فَلَمَّا أَسْلَمَا وَتَلَّهُ لِلْجَبِينِ (103) وَنَادَيْنَاهُ أَن يَا إِبْرَاهِيمُ (104) قَدْ صَدَّقْتَ الرُّؤْيَا ۚ إِنَّا كَذَٰلِكَ نَجْزِي الْمُحْسِنِينَ (105)So when they surrendered, he gave it to the forehead (103) and We called to him: O Ibrahim (104) you have fulfilled the vision. Indeed, thus We reward the benefactors (105) Here we focus on just a simple expression (surrender): the virtue of surrendering to God in times of adversity, It is (surrender) a look: our master Ibrahim and his son Ismail (peace be upon them) They worshiped God through an act of worship that most Muslims ignore. Our master Ibrahim is about 80 years old or more at this time, his son is 16 years old, Ismail, his first and only son, (our master Ibrahim) who is old and has a human desire (people) wants to complete his life with this young adult son, He wants to have fun with him, depends on him..etc, but God is his priority in his soul and cells, no wonder, you know the sponge, if you put it under the water, what happens, it fills with water, our master Abraham, his title: his nickname: the Khaleel of God, that is: God - the Almighty - permeates all his cells, That is, the love of Abraham - peace be upon him - for God, permeated all the cells of his body, mind and soul, until he became a title with God - the Almighty - the khaleel of God - Put God's command (to kill his only son) before his eyes before what you think of him as a prophet, think of him as a human being, Likewise, Ismael (peace be upon them both) does not yell at his father, Likewise, Ismael (peace be upon them both) does not yell at his father Do you make like the father of the prophets: our master Abraham or his son (our master Ismail, peace be upon him)? There are problems in this world that can only be solved with time, and time means patience and patience (Fortress of Islam) In a place like this in the Qur’an it is called (beautiful patience), the beauty of patience in Islam: there is no complaint about it, attempts to get out of the ordeal without complaining, and if you reach this point, make sure that you reach your true self, you understand the world, this time things will be small in your eyes, this (vartue of the Islam) The vision has come true: You only believe a message because the vision of the messengers is true, and you accept it, (and we also reward the benevolence) May Allah reward you with good for those who master every step in their faith, Do you have a good focus on your small tasks before the big ones? they are the ones whom God loves (the doers of benevolence: those who are perfect in what they do) Now let's see the virtue of surrender and how to make? The virtue of surrender People have always considered phrases like “never give up” and “finish what you start” as virtues that However, the changing situation and the pressures that the person is exposed to in his life require a different and more dynamic attitude that makes him give up those great goals at the level of personal life and work, by choosing the appropriate time and method, as he must have the insight, courage and confidence enough to give up his difficult goals. In reaching and choosing more logical and successful goals and projects The right time to surrender One of the mistakes that a person usually makes is early or late withdrawal. The timing of withdrawals is difficult to determine, so the rule to follow is that we must give up on a goal that does not make any progress despite the great effort to achieve it, which means that when things become more difficult at work, relationship or school we must make an effort double, but in the case of not Having a great result though. Effort after a period of time is not so short that we should consider giving up this goal and thinking of something newFactors affecting the decision to surrender 1 - Choose another command It's easy to choose another goal or path to achieve rather than just chasing the primary goal, which explains why most people give up on their failed relationships when interviewing someone new who might be a good fit to start a new relationship. 2 - Experimental cost It usually refers to the amount of money, effort and exhaustion that we have saved and invested in order to achieve this goal that we want to abandon, and this cost is usually the main obstacle to abandoning one of its useless goals. In order to avoid such a big loss, the individual must choose the right timing for the withdrawal before the loss is incurred 3- Opportunity cost We should talk here about the valuable opportunities that we miss in pursuit of our original goals. This is an important factor in determining the need to abandon those goals Surrender with honor One of the most important obstacles to the surrender process is the sadness and grief that occurs on the individual’s psyche, not to mention the social embarrassment that it causes. The person can choose the appropriate way to inform people of his decision, which helps change. Their point of view on the subject, wherever some feel depressed or in pain and even ridicule your decision here, four rules can be followed to help him communicate his decision to these people 2 - Make your decision clear You must explain to others that you thought deeply and made a clear decision to abandon this goal that has become useless for you, which helps to convince people of your decision and reduce the burden on them. 2 - Determine your next steps The people around you are often concerned about the future and what life may bring you. So when you give up on your goals, you have to convince people that you will draw a clear outline of your next steps, even if you are not sure of your next steps, which makes them accept your decision more smoothly. 3 - Be honest We usually worry about the huge embarrassment that might result from giving something away in public. For example, it is very difficult for someone to say that their restaurant has failed and needs to close. There is no other way to say or explain this failure. Increase people's respect for your decision and your admission of failure 4 - Accept all opinions with open arms It is sometimes difficult to formulate decisions that everyone agrees with or supports, which means that criticism from others must be accepted with a warm and calm mind. Which is better: surrender or failure? Most people fail at something that means: being a failure person, while others consider this idea to be wrong. It is often the real cause of despair and frustration for many, and the fear of facing a new challenge. Failing at something does not mean you have failed at all. It is always important to seek advice and advice that can be very important in making the right decision to quit or choose new goals. in conclusion Dear dear reader If everyone tweets in a direction, you can reverse this trend if it is not in your favor, then everyone tweets that you should never give up... and this small article explains to you a virtue that you may not have considered a virtue before, which is the virtue of surrendering to God in times of adversity. There is no one among us who has not faced hardship in his life - it differs according to the strength of your faith in God. Would you acknowledge the goodness of surrendering to God at the time of hardship, such as the example of the article (our master Abraham and his son) - the love of father to his only son who's see his birth after his age, and they command to be separated forever by killing, and who kill whom? father to his son, whatever you face in this life, I do not imagine that a father is the one who slaughters his son with his own hand, and their surrender was a decisive moment in lifting the calamity... Come back with me (so when they surrendered, he turned to the forehead... and we called him) the divine call came at the moment of bitter surrender to the bitter calamity. Sometimes we need to surrender like adults, and not trample our feet like children, and then, God willing, the distress will be gone. The link https://www.syr-res.com/article/2465.htm

  • Are we associate with God, and we do not feel?

    Allah says وَمِنَ النَّاسِ مَن يَتَّخِذُ مِن دُونِ اللَّهِ أَندَادًايُحِبُّونَهُمْ كَحُبِّ اللَّهِ ۖ وَالَّذِينَ آمَنُوا أَشَدُّ حُبًّا لِّلَّهِ ۗ وَلَوْ يرَى الَّذِينَ ظَلَمُوا إِذْ يَرَوْنَ الْعَذَابَ أَنَّ الْقُوَّةَ لِلَّهِ جَمِيعًا وَأَنَّ اللَّهَ شَدِيدُ الْعَذَابِ (165) البقرة And among the people are those who take peers besides God, whom they love as the love of God, and those who believe are stronger in love for God, And if those who did wrong could see when they see the torment and all power belongs to God, and God is severe in chastisement (165) Al-Baqara The scientists said peers, that is: parables and peers who worship them with Him and love them as they love Him, and He is God with no partner. And in the two Sahihs, on the authority of Abdullah bin Masoud, he said I said: O Messenger of God, which sin is the greatest? He said: “That you make a partner to God while He created you.” And those who believe are stronger in love for God.) Some points of the noble verse 1 - And from the people: that is, not all people, then God Almighty does not generalize, but rather singles them out from the honorable characteristics of those who speak. 2 - Other than God: that is, less than Him - Glory be to Him - and everything, no matter how high it is, is less than Him 3 - Equals: These people love it as the love of God in terms of equality and self-exaltation and other than that 4 - Then the Almighty says (And those who believe are stronger in love for God) And here (what are these idols that we worship besides God - Almighty) we are Muslims and monotheists, so is hypocrisy (as minor shirk) or nodal hypocrisy is the polytheism that he intends - Almighty - ? We understand this, when we see the next verse Allah says قُلْ إِن كَانَ آبَاؤُكُمْ وَأَبْنَاؤُكُمْ وَإِخْوَانُكُمْوَأَزْوَاجُكُمْ وَعَشِيرَتُكُمْ وَأَمْوَالٌ اقْتَرَفْتُمُوهَا وَتِجَارَةٌ تَخْشَوْنَ كَسَادَهَا وَمَسَاكِنُ تَرْضَوْنَهَا أَحَبَّ إِلَيْكُم مِّنَ اللَّهِ وَرَسُولِهِ وَجِهَادٍ فِي سَبِيلِهِ فَتَرَبَّصُوا حَتَّىٰ يَأْتِيَ اللَّهُ بِأَمْرِهِ ۗ وَاللَّهُ لا يَهْدِي الْقَوْمَ الْفَاسِقِينَ (24) التوبة Say if your fathers and your sons and your brothers and your wives and your clan and the money you earned, commerce that you fear will decline, and dwellings that you are pleased with dearer to you than God and His Messenger and striving in His Cause, so wait until God brings His command, ۗ And God does not guide the out of obedience (24) Repentance The scientists said Abu Jaafar said: Blessed and Exalted be He says to His Prophet Muhammad, may God bless him and grant him peace: (Say) O Muhammad, to those who did not migrate to the abode of Islam, who reside in the abode of polytheism: If the stay is with your fathers, your sons, your brothers, your wives, and your clan = and it was (money you have acquired) Saying: You acquired it (and a business that you fear will decline) by separating from your country (and dwellings you are pleased with), so you lived in it, more beloved to you than emigration to God and His Messenger, From the abode of polytheism and from jihad in its cause, meaning: in Supporting God's religion, which He is pleased with (so wait) He says: So wait ((until God brings His command), until God brings the conquest of Mecca, (And God does not guide the disobedient people) He says: God does not grant success to those who are out of obedience and disobedience to Him The points of the verse 1- The warning is severe in the noble verse that whoever takes these eight things that came in the verse (more beloved to us) from God and His Messenger and the jihad in His cause - we ask God for forgiveness - we await God's punishment 2- Why wait for God’s punishment and why does He describe us if we do (the love for these things is more than….) We are immoral, and it is the instinct that God created in us? 3 - The idea lies when interests conflict, not in normal times, but in crises, and God knows best 4 - As for the jihad, the jihad of the sword is the highest rank with God - the Almighty - a support for the religion - to preserve property in defense if something is removed from the religion, and the truth is that we as Muslims - a large sector of us does not carry weapons and stands at the borders between countries - for example - but we are all addressed by the noble verse, so what is the solution? The types of jihad in Islam are what make us all strive in the manner that God loves, even if it is not like the jihad of the sword - like the jihad of a woman (The complete & correct Hajj and Umrah, good beautification, and good treatment of the husband) It is equivalent to jihad for the sword for sak of God, knowledge and learning is equivalent to jihad for the sake of God. Of course, intention precedes action, Teaching the Qur’an in particular is jihad in the way of God, according to His saying, the Most High: “and strive against them with it a great struggle” (Al-Furqan 52) and other things such as honoring one’s parents, and others like honoring parents, so do not deprive yourself, O Muslim /woman Muslim, of jihad (for the sake of God), but what is within your destiny... And God is Most High and Knows best. Let's break it down one by one The parents Parents: Which fathers or powerful fathers? The rich with prestige and social status? God knows, but some parents have power over their children to do what does not please God - Almighty - or at the very least, the children see their fathers committing a great sin with God Almighty, and they do not see anything wrong with them, so they eat and drink with them, And they never try to deny their actions, whether it is social corruption, political corruption, or even injustice to relatives or acquaintances. It's a kind of offering his love to God's love - Almighty - the brothers It is a strong blood bond, and it is said in the proverb (me and my brother on my cousin...) and it has the same paternity as you have previously, as there are some brothers who have a great position in his society, Or such or such - so not denouncing him is a kind of giving preference to his love over the love of God - Almighty- It's a kind of offering his love to God's love - Almighty - The spouses Almighty says - in more than one place in the Qur’an) Allah says (احْشُرُوا الَّذِينَ ظَلَمُوا وَأَزْوَاجَهُمْ وَمَا كَانُوايَعْبُدُونَ مِنْ دُونِ اللَّهِ فَاهْدُوهُمْ إِلَىٰ صِرَاطِ الْجَحِيمِ (23)) (Gather together those who wronged and their wives, and they were what they do worship besides Allah, so guide them to the path of Hell (23)) No one enters Paradise alone, and no one enters Hell alone, but in groups, so the time of gathering is like a kind of heavenly classification, the wicked with the wicked, and the good ones are with the good people...etc. Among the factions on the Day of Resurrection are the spouses. So whoever follows her husband’s wife over his wrongdoing to someone, she will be a partner with him, and they will both be gathered together with the group of the wrongdoers, or vice versa: The witness is that the spouses who agree on what does not please God are crammed under this verse It's a kind of offering his love to God's love - Almighty - The sons For the souls of the liver, the sound innate love, we do not talk to them about drawing near to God Almighty, for fear of harming them psychologically or otherwise - It's a kind of offering his love to God's love - Almighty - The clan Clan love is an innate love. The extended family is the smallest of the clan and the largest of them is the tribe to which it belongs or the group to which - You spent your life in its victory or otherwise, And the Messenger of God - may God’s prayers and peace be upon him - said: A boy from the immigrants beat a boy from the Ansar from Banu Al-Mustaliq, The first called for help: O emigrants, and the other called out: O Ansar! The Messenger of God - may God’s prayers and peace be upon him - heard this and said: “What is the matter with the claim of ignorance?” They told him what had happened, and he, may God bless him and grant him peace, said: “Leave it, for it's stinky.” And the hadith is frank That the clan is sought in disputes and quarrels, and by means of it you overcome your opponent, perhaps this opponent of yours is a believer like you, and this is what happens between the Sunnis and the Shiites And between the Sunnah and themselves - let us remember (Leave it, for it stinks) The moneys Yes, money: love it very much and take it with what is permissible or forbidden, or you wake up in the evening only watching the stock exchange and its shares, or watching the interest in banks or other forms of love of money, this is a short story that actually happened One of them was on a plane and he had a suitcase with him, then death came suddenly. On board the plane was one of the righteous, so he began to teach him witness, and then he said: (the bag - the bag) and it contained a lot of money, and unfortunately the soul went to its owner, and he says (the bag is the bag), we ask God for forgiveness. It's a kind of offering his love to God's love - Almighty - The commerce The Messenger of God - may God bless him and grant him peace - says in a hadith from which we took this part: stumbled the slave of Dinar, stumbled the slave of Dirham, And Abd al-Khamisa (a type of cloth), if he is given he is satisfied, and if he is not given he is indignant, He perished and relapsed, and if he was tingling, then there is no catch to it Unhappy: a prayer of unhappiness Abdul Dinar and Abdul Dirham (gold and silver) or he carries today all kinds of securities Then a supplication again from the Messenger - may God bless him and grant him peace - about misery again, and not only that, and it relapsed: he turned, and God knows best, his condition changed from happiness to misery, and if he was pricked with anything like a small needle, the tweezers doesn't pick it up from his body, The hadith has a strong accent on everyone who loves these things (commerce) with a love that makes him fall away from the remembrance of God, or that he becomes immersed in thinking about it only It's a kind of offering his love to God's love - Almighty - The good dwellings Allah says ﴿ قُلْ مَنْ حَرَّمَ زِينَةَ اللَّهِ الَّتِي أَخْرَجَ لِعِبَادِهِ وَالطَّيِّبَاتِ مِنَ الرِّزْقِ ۚ قُلْ هِيَ لِلَّذِينَ آمَنُوا فِي الْحَيَاةِ الدُّنْيَا خَالِصَةً يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ ۗ كَذَٰلِكَ نُفَصِّلُ الْآيَاتِ لِقَوْمٍ يَعْلَمُونَ﴾ {Say: Who has forbidden the adornment of God which He has produced for His servants, They are the good things of provision. Say, "They are for those who believe in the life of this world, purely on the Day of Resurrection. Thus do We detail the verses for a people who know. There are palaces in life - there are luxurious villas - there are houses and chalets on the seas and rivers whoever becomes interested in arranging, organizing, cleaning and renovating his beautiful home, He loves something more than God, and we understand from that: If a woman memorizes her Qur’an and obeys her husband, And she raised her children on faith: here these homes, no matter how large they are, are among the blessings of God upon the servant, and God is Most High and Knows the best. Oh God, benefit us from what you have taught us, increase our knowledge, and make it acceptable Note The meaning found in this article, quoted from Sheikh Muhammad Ramadan Al-Bouti - may God have mercy on him - I hope from God - the Almighty - that it be a sound doctrinal transmission..

  • What does the family represent to Muslims and how does this affect their behavior in the west?

    What do you know about the mental background of Muslim youth? In this article, we discuss an important part of the mental background of the young Muslim man. Let's review it together. First: What does the human mental background represent? The mental background includes material factors such as: human history and geography: where a person lives or his mother land, - his mother tongue - the way of dress and so on, There is no doubt that the small family, represented by the father, mother and brothers, or the nuclear family that includes grandfather, grandmother, uncles, aunts and others, is a basis for receiving the basic culture that represents a significant part of the background of the Muslim youth. In this article, we revolve around the concept of the family in Islam and its implications in Muslim youth culture, And what it also entails in his interaction with Western society through understanding some concepts that the Muslim family understands and does not understand and at the same time are not present in the mental background of the Western youth, and as long as there is mixing between Arab and Western youth as a kind of integration, the background of each of them must be studied. The concept of honoring one's parents Allah says (وَاخْفِضْ لَهُمَا جَنَاحَ الذُّلِّ مِنَ الرَّحْمَةِ وَقُل رَّبِّ ارْحَمْهُمَا كَمَا رَبَّيَانِي صَغِيرًا (24)سورة الإسراء (And lower for them the wing of humiliation out of mercy, and say, “My Lord, have mercy on them as they raised me when I was young.” Surah Al-Isra 24) We benefit from the verse the following Young people often enjoy full vitality and physical and mental strength, which sometimes entails arrogance, so the verse comes with humility and lowering the head for the parents, and that is out of mercy and not humiliation, Pray for them in prayer five times a day, alive or dead, for this is from righteousness as they used to raise you when you were young, This is reflected from the Muslim’s mentality on the reality in the West, sometimes with disapproval, and sometimes with the inability to fully integrate (of course we are talking about the religious youth who is aware of his responsibility for his Arabism and his Islam). The virginity concept Ismail bin Abdullah told us, he said: My brother told me, on the authority of Sulaiman, on the authority of Hisham bin Urwa, on the authority of his father, on the authority of Aisha, may God be pleased with her, who said: I said, O Messenger of God, what do you think if you went down to a valley and in it was a tree that had been eaten, and you found a tree that had not been eaten, in which of them would you feed your camel? He said about the one that had not been fed. It means that the Messenger of God, may God bless him and grant him peace, did not marry another virgin. Ismail bin Abdullah told us, he said: My brother told me, on the authority of Sulayman, on the authority of Hisham bin Urwah, on the authority of his father, on the authority of Aisha, may God be pleased with her, who said “I said, O Messenger of God, do you think that if you went down to a valley in which there was a tree that it had eaten from, and found a tree from which it had not been eaten, in which of them would you graze your camel? He said regarding the one who was not raised by her, it means that the Messenger of God, may God bless him and grant him peace, did not marry a virgin other than her, the hadith indicates the importance and preference of a virgin over a woman who was previously married to the Prophet, and this is considered by the general Muslim community or believers as a very acceptable concept. Similar to the women of the valley, there is evidence of great diversity in colours, shapes, languages, conditions, age, etc. The tree species in the valley differ as do the fruits, and so do the women). The camel here is the water of man's life) Where does it eat from all this variety in the trees in front of it? Islam has specific guidelines in this regard. This is reflected in the background of a Muslim who lives in the West in his preference for a woman who did not coexist with men before him, especially if she was not married, unless she repents from that, and often from within him does not forgive her, everything that reminds him of her past brings problems to the surface, so where do you raise your camel? An indication of choice, and as it is said (whoever fertilizes has a choice or confusion) and here it means: that women are types, shapes, colors and languages, but they are preferences, and Islam did not leave the choice, especially in the wife, to the man’s mood or even the circumstances in which he lives. Allah says ( هُنَّ لِبَاسٌ لَكُمْ وَأَنْتُمْ لِبَاسٌ لَهُنَّ} [البقرة من الآية:187 (They are clothing for you and you are clothing for them) [Al-Baqarah: 187] Dress covers defects before virtues, and thus marriage in Islam. We are nothing but human beings, full of faults before virtues, and we do not feel them unless someone alerts us to them, and the Muslim knows that the pure, chaste woman who preserves his honor while she is on her way. Close to him is no less important than attaching to her with the same compassion, care and insensitivity between them, It is from this concept that the Muslim is reflected in his movement in the West. And does he see this type of Muslim woman, or does he see this type of man if he is a Muslim, and that is reflected on him in emotional relationships, and this differs from the etiquette of intercourse with the thoughts of a Muslim such as cohabitation? With each other, The prohibition of same-sex marriage - or intercourse from the anus or otherwise, the concept of menstruation, hatred of a Muslim, and the prohibition of intercourse at the time, all these are ideas in the mental background of a Muslim and they do not appear except when contact, If he marries a Western woman who has no idea about such thoughts, if they did not agree on them before marriage, the problem would surface. The Almighty says: وَيَسْأَلُونَكَ عَنِ الْمَحِيضِ ۖ قُلْ هُوَ أَذًى فَاعْتَزِلُوا النِّسَاءَ فِي الْمَحِيضِ ۖ وَلَا تَقْرَبُوهُنَّ حَتَّىٰ يَطْهُرْنَ... الآية {And they ask you about menstruation, say: It is harmful, so keep away from women in menstruation, and do not approach them until they purify from it.} God Almighty described it as harmful, and science said: (The vaginal pH is higher and therefore less acidic than usual in the menstrual period, and the cervix is low, and its opening is more wide, and finally, the endometrium is absent during menstruation. All these three factors have theoretical risks to allow (for organisms accessing the bloodstream during penetrative sex) and others you can review in the link below. Therefore, it is forbidden for Muslims to have intercourse with it, and it is a normal thing for a non-Muslim woman. Rather, they appear to have some benefits such as relieving pain and so on. . . The concept of family (nuclear) The traditional Muslim family is extended, often spanning three or more generations. The extended structure provides many advantages, including stability, cohesion, and physical and psychological support, especially in times of need, and in this context it is reflected in the life of a Muslim living in the West, rather it reflects on his whole life, if he wants to do something unacceptable to the family, he is ostracized from his family, which is his small community in which he finds his primary comfort zone. Some other concepts about family life you can read below. Family life One of the most prominent features of Islamic society is the importance attached to the family, The family unit is the cornerstone of a healthy and balanced society. The level of focus different from that found in individual-centered cultures is for many wonderful things, but for a Muslim it is very different, The man is considered the head of the family; But for many men, this is a poisoned cup because leadership comes with responsibility. The economic responsibility for providing for the family rests directly with the man regardless of whether his wife earns money. Thus, unemployment can greatly affect the safety of the family, Which leaves the man in a state of uncertainty. The rates of psychopathy in such cases may be high, with repercussions for the family as a whole, and in Islamic culture, similar to other traditional cultures, respect and appreciation increases with age. Elderly parents are respected because of their life experiences and their hierarchical position within the family unit. The opportunity to meet parents' needs in their later years is seen as a gift from God. The marriage between the sexes and the delineation of roles You dress them and they dress you. This succinct Quranic analogy encapsulates the primary goals of marriage - to provide warmth, comfort, protection, and beautification. Within the framework of the Islamic vision, children have the right to have children and grow up in a stable and safe environment. Marriage is considered to provide such an environment. In contrast, celibacy and sex outside of marriage are strongly discouraged because they are considered extreme behaviors that are not conducive to a healthy society. Kinship gives many advantages, which explain, at least in part, the persistence of its attractiveness. For example, it allows comprehensive knowledge of the future marriage partner of sons or daughters - a particularly important consideration in Muslim minority communities where the usual social networks that facilitate the search for a suitable partner may be lacking. The union of two families, usually the parents arrange the marriage. Although the free consent of both the bride and groom is essential, parental coercion is often strong. Apparently some parents are beginning to understand their children's marital concerns. However, young and old still consider the practice of selecting marriage partners from within the community. Inbreeding (mixed marriage) is particularly common among Muslims of South Asian and Arab descent. Among Pakistani Muslims, current estimates are that about 75% of couples are related, and about 50% are married to first-degree cousins. This is an increase over their parents' generation, of whom only 30% are married to first-degree cousins. The sexual norms Sex in the context of marriage is a legitimate and enjoyable activity - an act of worship worthy of God's reward. On the contrary, heterosexual sex outside marriage is considered deviant and deserves punishment in the aftermath. In keeping with Orthodox Judeo-Christian teachings, homosexuality is considered a sin. However, a distinction is made between homosexuality and the act itself. The former is acceptable provided that it is not practiced, mixing does exist among Muslims, although its prevalence is, in all likelihood, much less than in some segments of Western society. Those who operate outside the Islamic framework often find themselves ostracized and responsible for discrediting the family name. Thus, the possibility of "going out" for gay Muslims is not realistic nowadays, and despite the positive view of sex, it is not a topic that is openly discussed. Cultural taboos require that sex remain a private matter between husband and wife. This explains, at least in part, why Muslims are so reluctant to seek help with sexual problems and how long it takes to see a doctor. The Menstruation During menstruation, women will be exempted from some important religious rites, such as the rituals of prayer, fasting, and Hajj (the pilgrimage to Mecca). Sexual intercourse is also prohibited at such times. All other forms of physical contact between husband and wife are permitted, for example, hugging and kissing. The pregnancy Many hadiths of the Prophet Muhammad glorify the virtues of marriage, childbearing, and fertility. The opinion of Muslims regarding contraception is divided, with a minority saying it is categorically prohibited while the majority view is that contraception is permitted but not encouraged. A small minority, largely confined to academic circles, suggests that effective family planning strategies are necessary to prevent the excessive global spread that many in the West have predicted. The prevalence of contraceptive use in Muslim countries varies greatly, reflecting these divergent views, and ranges from less than 5% (in Mauritania, northern Yemen, Somalia and Sudan) to more than 50% (in Turkey, Lebanon and Tunisia).

  • Al - tayammum

    Wiping the face and hands with dirt, which is an alternative to ablution when there is no water or it is not possible to use it due to illness or the like Wiping the face and hands with dirt. And so on with the intention of purity Q What are the evidences for tayammum from the Holy Quran? Almighty says( O you who have believed, do not approach prayer when you are intoxicated until you know what you are saying, and there is no impurity except for passers-by, until you wash up ۚ and if you are sick or on a journey, or any of you comes from the stool, Or have you touched women, and you could not find water, so perform tayammum, good soil, so wipe your faces and your hands, Indeed, Allah is pardoning, Forgiving) Surah Al-Nisa as much as you can»; As for the second, his prayers are correct, and he does not have to repeat it, according to what was reported on the authority of Abu Saeed Al-Khudri, who said: Two men went out on a journey, and the time for prayer came, and they did not have water with them, so he performed pure earth, then found water at the time, so he returned one of them for ablution and prayer, and did not return the other. Then they came to the Messenger of God - may God’s prayers and peace be upon him - and mentioned that to him, He said to the one who did not repeat: “You followed the Sunnah and your prayer is sufficient for you.” He said to the one who performed ablution and repeated: “You will be rewarded twice, It was narrated by Abu Dawud and Al-Nisa’i, and they also narrated it on the authority of Ata bin Yasar on the authority of the Prophet - may God bless him and grant him peace - However, it is better not to do tayammum with anything other than soil as long as it is possible, and if there is no dirt, then with sand, If sand is lost, then with mud, and if mud is lost, then with pebbles and stones. Q Is it permissible to do tayammum with limestone, gypsum and agate? Tayammum is valid with lime stone (i.e. al-Nura stone) and gypsum stone. Likewise, it is valid for tayammum with cooked plaster, However, tayammum with metal stones such as agate stones is invalid. Q: What is the solution if dirt, sand, mud, gravel and stone are lost? He can do tayammum with the dust attached to the bed or clothes and the like. If there is no dust in these things, he must do tayammum with mud, and if the mud is lost, it is obligatory to pray without tayammum, and as a precaution, it is desirable to make it up later. Q: What if: If he could get dirt by shaking the mattress and the like, and if he could dry the mud? If he was able to obtain dirt by shaking the mattress and the like, then the dust ablution is invalid, and if he was able to dry the clay and get dirt from it, the dust ablution is invalid. Q: What about tayammum with dust? It is mustahabb for the thing with which tayammum is used to have dust attached to the hand, just as it is desirable for him to shake his hands - after hitting that thing with them - so that the dust falls off. Q: What about tayammum with low-lying soil, dirt on roads, and swampy lands? Issue 741: It is makrooh to do tayammum with the soil of low-lying ground, the soil of roads, and swampy lands If salt is not on top of it, and if salt is on top of it, then tayammum is invalid. Q: Who does not have water and has snow or hail, is it valid to do tayammum with them? If it is possible to dissolve it without harm or embarrassment, then it is obligatory to dissolve it and perform ablution or ghusl with it, even if it is the same as applying anointing with its water, If it is possible to dissolve it without harm or embarrassment, then it is obligatory to dissolve it and perform ablution or ghusl with it, even if it is the same as applying anointing with its water, Or wash it, just as he did not have to do tayammum with snow or hail, as a precaution, he should make up the prayers that he prayed in the last instance while he was not purified. Q Is it permissible to do tayammum with straw? It is not permissible to perform tayammum with it, but if that thing is so little that it is considered perishable and dissolved in the soil or sand, then the tayammum is valid with that soil or sand. Q Is it permissible to do tayammum with a mud wall? It is valid to do tayammum with a mud wall, and as a precaution, it is desirable not to do tayammum with earth or soil that is slightly damp with the presence of earth or dry soil, Q: If he was certain of the validity of tayammum with something, then he did tayammum with it, then it became clear to him later that tayammum with that thing was invalid? He must repeat his prayers that he prayed with that tayammum. Q: Does a person have to perform tayammum for every prayer, or is it permissible for him to pray whatever he wants of obligatory and supererogatory prayers as long as he has not yet performed tayammum? A: It is permissible for a Muslim, if he performs the Shari’a tayammum, to pray with that as much as he wants, whether obligatory or supererogatory, as long as he lacks water or is unable to use it, as long as he does not happen or find water, according to the most correct sayings of scholars, for the prophet said: ( may God’s prayers and peace be upon him: ((The soil is the ablution of a Muslim, even if he does not find water for ten years, so if he finds water, then let him fear God and touch it with his skin)) Narrated by Al-Bazzar and the hadiths in that are many, and God is the conciliator. Total (10/203).) Q: Does tayammum make ablution completely obligatory for the one who is in a state of ritual impurity/sick? A: Tayammum takes the place of water, for God has made the earth a mosque and a purification for Muslims, If he loses water or is unable to find it due to illness, tayammum takes its place, and it is still sufficient until he finds water, If water is found, it is obligatory for him to perform ghusl for his previous ritual impurity, and likewise for the patient, if he is cured and God heals him, he must perform ghusl for his previous impurity, which he purified with tayammum, because the Prophet, may God’s prayers and peace be upon him, said: “The earth is the ablution of a Muslim even if he does not find water for ten years.” Then he said: “If you find water, touch it to your skin, Narrated by Al-Tirmidhi, from the hadith of Abu Dharr, may God be pleased with him, and narrated by Al-Bazzar, and authenticated by Ibn Al-Qattan, from the hadith of Abu Hurairah, may God be pleased with him, If he finds water that is junub, he touches it with his skin, i.e., he takes a bath after that for what has passed, as for his past prayers, they are valid by doing tayammum when he lacks water or is unable to use it, because of a disease that prevents him from water, until the disease ends and he is cured of it, and until he finds water if he lacked it, even if it takes a long time. Q What are the nullifiers of tayammum? The presence of water and the ability to use it, Tayammum is invalidated in the event that there is enough water for ablution, and the tayammum is able to use it, and to see water are three cases that we mention in the following. Seeing water before prayer In this case, tayammum is invalid, and ablution must be performed with water even if there is no time to perform the prayer on time. Seeing water while praying In this case, the tayammum is not invalidated, unless the person is among those who must repeat the prayer for some reason. Seeing water after prayer In this case, the prayer is valid, and the worshiper does not repeat his prayer. 2 - Exit of time It is the end of the time set for performing the prayer, and the entry of the time for the prayer that follows it, such as the Fajr prayer, for example. Its time ends with sunrise, and the noon prayer begins with noon, and the noon prayer begins its time by noon, and whoever says that the expiry of time invalidates tayammum, that is because he said that tayammum is permissible for prayer, However, it does not remove the impurity, and whoever says that tayammum does not invalidate the expiration of the time, it is based on the fact that tayammum temporarily removes the impurity, many scholars hold this view. 3 - The disappearance of the excuse which permissible to do tayammum The jurists agreed that tayammum is invalidated by the removal of the reason that permitted it, so whoever was doing tayammum because of an illness and God Almighty cured him of it, then it is not permissible for him to do tayammum after recovery, or like going to an enemy who was warning him, or became able to reach the water, or was able to use it, and that is because what was permissible because of an excuse is invalid by the disappearance of this excuse, The Summary Tayammum is invalidated by the invalidations of ablution, just as it is invalidated by the presence of water, and the fuqaha’ have detailed the cases of seeing water, so whoever sees water before praying and is able to use it invalidates his tayammum, and during and after the prayer, his prayer is valid, and some scholars believe that the expiry of the prayer time is one of the invalidations, and most are otherwise, Tayammum is invalidated by the disappearance of the excuse for which the person performed tayammum. Q Mention the pillars of tayammum? 1 - The Intention And it is in the heart, and it is intended to do the act of tayammum, and it is Sunnah to utter it with the tongue, and it is intended by the person who has done tayammum what he wants to do, and the Hanafis and Hanbalis said, that the intention is one of the conditions of tayammum, and there is no pillar of it, such as prostration, prayer, or anything else, and the removal of the event, or the impurity, if the orphan intends to remove one of the two events or the impurity, the intention is not sufficient for the two matters, but each action must have a different intention from the other; Because each of them has a reason different from the other, and the hadeeth of the Prophet: (Actions are but by intentions, and each person will have what he intended) The jurists differed in the characteristic of the intention imposed upon the intention of the tayammum. The statement of their disagreement is as follows The majority of scholars from the Maliki, Shafi'i and Hanbali schools said That the characteristic of the intention of tayammum is with the intention of permitting prayer and other acts of worship, such as touching the Qur’an The Hanafis said that The intention of tayammum is required to contain one of three things, namely The intention is to purify oneself from an existing event, and it is not required to specify it And the intention to permissive prayer, or remove the event. The intention for a specific act of worship is not valid without purification, such as the prostration of recitation. If a Muslim intends to perform tayammum without intending to make the prayer permissible, then his prayer is not valid. 2- Wiping the face And it is by delivering the dirt to all the face, taking into account that the dirt reaches the area above the lips, while Imam Abu Hanifa sees the permissibility of limiting himself to tayammum in most cases, 3- Wiping the hands up to the elbows Taking into account the removal of what is on them, such as the ring, to be wiped under it, it is not sufficient to confine it to moving it from its place only, while the Hanbalis and the Malikis see, the obligation on the hands is by wiping them up to the elbows, as for the dust reaching the elbows, it is a Sunnah, as the Prophet said to Ammar: (It was enough for you to do this, so he hit the ground with his hands, then he brushed it off, then wiped the back of his hand with his left hand or the back of his left hand with them, then wiped his face with them) 4- The order between the two swabs The Hanbali and Shafi’i considered it obligatory, and this arrangement is between the members of the tayammum; Because tayammum takes the place of ablution, the arrangement is obligatory for them, and it is excluded from the arrangement if the tayammum is from a major impurity according to the Hanbalis, while the Hanafis and Malikis see that the arrangement is Sunnah, not an obligation; Because the obligation in tayammum is wiping, and dirt is a means, not an end. It is the transfer of dirt from its place to the member to be wiped The Shafi’is considered it the first pillar of the ritual ablution, while the Malikis considered that Transfer is Sunnah. At Shafi'i, and Hanafi Tayammum should be done with two strokes one for the face, and the other for the hands While the Maliki and Hanbali see that the first strike is obligatory, and the second strike is Sunnah; The reason for that difference is in the generality of the verse of tayammum, and the clear hadiths conflict with two strokesو They agreed on the necessity of removing any barrier that prevents dirt from reaching the member that must be wiped, such as the presence of a ring. Because the soil is dense and has no flow like water, The time of removal is when wiping, and the Maliki and Hanafi views, It is obligatory to pickle the fingers with the palm of the hand when wiping, in contrast to the Shafi’is and Hanbalis who said that pickling is desirable as a precaution. That the person who performs tayammum removes the impurity from his body, unless the impurity is one that is pardoned by the Sharia, and if he performs tayammum before removing the impurity, his tayammum is not valid Q Mention the Sunnahs of Tayammum? 1- The naming at its beginning 2 - Present the right over the left 3- The top of the face is on the bottom of the face As in ablution. Reducing the dust that is on the soil, following the Prophet, and so that there is no distortion of morals. 4- Dust should not be wiped off until after the prayer is completed. 5- Separating the fingers when striking the soil; for the excitement of dirt 6- Removing everything that prevents dust from reaching the members of the tayammum. 7 - Passing the hand over all the members to be wiped in a manner similar to rubbing in ablution, with an addition to the members by wiping the upper arm; It is between the elbow and the shoulder 7- Facing the qiblah while pronouncing the two testimonies of faith, raising both hands and looking at the sky 8 - Use of toothpicks among the Malikis 9- The succession, i.e. the sequence of scanning the organs The Malikis and Hanbalis have gone that it is one of the duties of tayammum, and its pillars. Second: the scientific part First: what is soil? What exactly is dirt contents made of? Dirt (also called soil or earth) contains a mixture of rocks, clay, sand, and other organic materials. Dirt is usually full of minerals and various microorganisms. Depending on your location, the amounts of these materials will vary, as will the types of materials that make up the dirt. Dirt Benefit #1: Strengthens the immune system One of the primary benefits of dirt is that it supports a healthy immune system. The New York Times reported on the “hygiene hypothesis,” which explains that dirt contains millions of bacteria and viruses that actually help develop a healthy immune system. Dirt Benefit #2: Detoxifies the body Dirt may actually detoxify the body - people use clay and charcoal to detoxify their skin, but these same properties found in dirt may also work as a detoxifying agent from within the body as well. Scientific American reports, “Researchers take another look at dirt eating and discover that the behavior often supplies vital minerals to people and animals and inactivates toxins from food and the environment.” It may benefit pregnant women People have been eating dirt and mud for centuries—often, the people who find themselves craving dirt are pregnant women. ABC News reports that “While most people recoil at the idea of eating mud or mud, some medical experts say it may be beneficial, especially for pregnant women.” Mud, especially in areas rich in mud, contains plenty of essential minerals like magnesium and copper. and calcium and iron, which explains why pregnant women crave them—their bodies need more minerals than usual because they created another human life: In preindustrial times, eating a handful of dirt might do the same job as a prenatal vitamin. #4: Helps prevent allergic reactions With allergies, we're back to the hygiene hypothesis, as ABC News explains that research has found that children raised in rural environments, especially on farms, suffer significantly fewer allergies and autoimmune disorders than children born and raised in cities. "Some researchers believe exposure to soil and other environmental impurities is to blame," they explain. Dirt benefit #5: It may settle in the stomach If you've ever had an upset stomach, you may have taken an over-the-counter medicine that tastes "chalky" like an antacid, because it was probably made with kaolin, the primary substance in white clay. Antacid properties, which can relieve nausea, heartburn and indigestion. Dirt benefit #6: Helps smooth digestion You may have heard of the “gut microbiome,” which is the small ecosystem of good bacteria that live in your digestive tract and help get digestion moving smoothly. Exposure to dirt can cause your microbiome to flourish by encouraging new, healthy bacteria to develop and grow, according to In addition, clay has binding properties that can help when you are experiencing loose bowel movements, however, it can also make you constipated if you consume too much. . Should you really be eating dirt? Toxic substances -- such as pesticides and lead -- may also be present in the dirt, so you shouldn't eat dirt from the ground. Alternatively, you can purchase an earth or clay supplement that will give you some benefits. Just bring a little dirt into your daily life. Rinse organic fruits and vegetables with water, but don't go to extreme measures to sterilize them; swim in the ocean; Go barefoot, play with the dogs, and allow yourself to get a little dirty from time to time. In the end 1 - Note: Tayammum was originally prescribed for sickness, and dirt is considered a natural detox - in the language of the times - Who taught the Messenger of God - may God bless him and grant him peace?!! 2 - Note also that God - the Almighty - chose the upbringing of the Messenger of God not in Medina or Mecca (the best of God's countries with God), but chose the desert for him to grow up in the bosom of nature.

  • The Prophet mosque

    General information about the Prophet’s Mosque 1 - The Prophet Muhammad founded the mosque in the first year of the Hijra, and the Prophet Muhammad personally participated in the construction of the mosque, which was built with mud walls on rock foundations. Palm trunks and fronds were used to construct part of its roof. 2 - In its beginnings, the Prophet’s Mosque was facing the Al-Aqsa Mosque in Jerusalem, Which was the first qibla for Muslims, and it had three doors. There was also a shaded area in the background to shelter the poor and passers-by however, the mihrab was moved to the northern side when the qibla was changed to the Kaaba. The southern door was closed and replaced by another door to the north, when the Companions asked the Prophet to support the roof of the mosque with clay, he refused and said, “No, but a rooftop like Moses’ rooftop.” The floor of the mosque was not paved until three years later. 3 - The Prophet’s Mosque was the second mosque built in Medina - which was known as Yathrib before the Hijra. It was preceded by the Quba Mosque. 4- The mosque was built in 632 AD, next to the residence of the Prophet Muhammad - that is, 1441 years ago. 5 - In 1909, the Prophet’s Mosque was the first building connected to electrical power in the Arabian Peninsula. 6- The mosque, in its current state after centuries of expansions, contains the tomb of the Prophet Muhammad and the graves of the two caliphs, Abu Bakr al-Siddiq and Omar ibn al-Khattab, it also contains the homes of the Prophet's wives, in addition to the Rawda. 7 - Visiting the Prophet’s Mosque may not be a pillar of Hajj or Umrah, but the vast majority of pilgrims and Umrah performers, they do not feel that their visit is complete without visiting it and visiting the grave of the Prophet Muhammad. 8 - It is one of the largest mosques in the world, with wonderful decorations and advanced technologies, the Saudi authorities have spent billions of riyals on it to restore, maintain, expand and beautify it. The history of the construction of the Prophet’s Mosque The Prophet, peace and blessings of God be upon him, purchased the land for his mosque and repaired it for reconstruction. And he participated with the Companions in building it, and he urged them to do so. In Sahih al-Bukhari, it is stated that the Messenger of God, may God bless him and grant him peace, set out from Quba after he had established the mosque there and prayed in it, ((Then he mounted his mount and set off, with the people walking with him, Until I sat on the ground at the mosque of the Messenger, may God bless him and grant him peace, in Medina, and some Muslim men were praying there that day, It was a breeding ground for dates, (what is spread and dried in it) for Suhail and Sahl, two orphan boys, in the quarantine of Asaad bin Zurarah, The Messenger of God, may God bless him and grant him peace, said when his camel sat on the ground in it, This, God willing, is the house. Then the Messenger of God, may God bless him and grant him peace, called the two boys and bargained with them about the place to store the dates ( Al marbud), to take it as a mosque, and they said: No, but we will give it to you as a gift, O Messenger of God, The Messenger of God refused to accept it as a gift from them, so he bought it from them, the built a mosque, and the Messenger of God, may God bless him and grant him peace, began moving with them the brick in its building and saying, while he was transporting the bricks, he said: “This is the porter, not the porter of Khaybar, this is the most righteous and purest of our Lord, and He says: O Allah, the reward is the reward of the Hereafter, so have mercy on the Ansar and the Muhajirs)). In another narration by Anas bin Malik may God be pleased with him as well, he said: ((...and he was ordered to build the mosque, so he sent for a group of Banu Al-Najjar and said: “O sons of the Nagar, give me an eighth of this wall of yours.” They said: No, by God, we do not ask for its price except from God, Anas said: There were in it, as I tell you, the graves of the polytheists, and in it there were ruins and in it were palm trees, So the Prophet, peace and blessings of God be upon him, ordered the graves of the polytheists to be dug up, then they were destroyed and leveled, and the palm trees were cut down, so they were lined up, they faced the direction of the mosque and made stones on its supports, and they started moving the rocks while they were singing poetry, and the Prophet, may God bless him and grant him peace, was with them: And he says: “O God, there is no good except the good of the hereafter, so forgive the Ansar and the Muhajirs. The virtue of the Prophet’s Mosque 1 - It is a mosque founded on piety from the first day. Allah says ((لا تَقُمْ فِيهِ أَبَداً لَمَسْجِدٌ أُسِّسَ عَلَى التَّقْوى مِنْ أَوَّلِ يَوْمٍ أَحَقُّ أَنْ تَقُومَ فِيهِ رِجالٌ يُحِبُّونَ أَنْ يَتَطَهَّرُوا وَاللَّهُ يُحِبُّ الْمُطَّهِّرِينَ)) [سورة التوبة، آية ١٠٨]. God Almighty said: ((Never establish therein a mosque that was founded on piety from the first day, Is it more deserving that there be men who love to be purified, and God loves those who purify themselves.” [Surat Al-Tawbah, verse 108]. It has been proven from the hadith of Sahl bin Saad, may God be pleased with him, who said: “Two men disagreed during the time of the Prophet, may God bless him and grant him peace, regarding the mosque that was founded on piety One of them said: It is the Mosque of Medina, and the other said: It is the Mosque of Quba. So they came to the Prophet, may God bless him and grant him peace, and he said: “This is my mosque.”), This credit includes his mosque, may God bless him and grant him peace, and the Quba Mosque. Al-Hafiz Ibn Kathir, may God Almighty have mercy on him, also indicated this Sheikh Al-Islam Ibn Taymiyyah - may God have mercy on him - mentioned that the , verse was revealed because of the Quba Mosque, then he said, “But the ruling addresses him and applies to what is more deserving of that, which is the Medina Mosque, This directs what was proven in the Sahih on the authority of the Prophet, may God bless him and grant him peace, “that he was asked about the mosque that was founded on piety, and he said: This is my mosque.” 2- The superiority of praying in it is equal to a thousand prayers in any other prayer except the Sacred Mosque: He, may God’s prayers and peace be upon him, said: “A prayer in this mosque of mine is better than a thousand prayers in any other place, except the Sacred Mosque.”   and in some of Muslim’s words from the hadith of Maimuna, may God be pleased with her: ((Except the Kaaba Mosque)) 3 - It is one of the three mosques that you only need to travel to; Because of her great virtue and status before God Almighty: On the authority of Abu Hurairah, may God be pleased with him, on the authority of the Prophet, may God’s prayers and peace be upon him, who said: “Do not set out on a journey except for three, Mosques: The Grand Mosque, the Mosque of the Messenger, may God bless him and grant him peace, and Al-Aqsa Mosque)) 4- Whoever comes to him to learn knowledge or to teach it is like a mujahid in the path of God: He, may God’s prayers and peace be upon him, said, “Whoever comes to this mosque of mine does not come there except for something good to learn or teach, then he is in the position of a mujahid for the sake of God, and whoever comes to it for other than that, he is in the position of a man looking at someone else’s possessions.) 5- It is one of the last mosques of the prophets, so its virtue over other mosques is like the virtue of its Prophet, On the authority of Abu Hurairah, may God be pleased with him, he said: The Messenger of God, may God bless him and grant him peace, said: ((I am the last of the prophets, and my mosque is the last of the mosques)) 6 - That there is one of the gardens of Paradise in it, as the Prophet, may God’s prayers and peace be upon him, told us: On the authority of Abu Hurairah, may God be pleased with him, on the authority of the Prophet, may God’s prayers and peace be upon him, he said: ((Between my house and my pulpit is a garden from the gardens of Paradise, and my pulpit is at my basin)) On the authority of Umm Salamah, may God be pleased with her, she said: The Messenger of God, may God bless him and grant him peace, said: ((Between my house and my pulpit is a garden from the gardens of Paradise, and the stands of my pulpit are places in Paradise)). 7 - The choice of his city and the place for its construction was from God Almighty, on the authority of Abu Hurairah, may God be pleased with him, who said: The Messenger of God, may God bless him and grant him peace, said: ((I was commanded by a town that devours the towns. They say: Yathrib, And it is Medina. It expels people just as a furnace expels impurities from iron.)) And when the Messenger of God, may God bless him and grant him peace, entered Medina, They took the reins of his camel, saying: Come, O Messenger of God, to numbers, equipment, peace, and protection, He used to say to them: “Let her go, for she has been commanded.” She continued to walk with him until she reached the site of the Prophet’s Mosque. 8 - The center of knowledge and call to God Almighty, and the first school in Islam, and it contains virtuous landmarks, as it contains the prophetic pulpit, And the noble Rawdah, and the prayer place of the Messenger of God, may God bless him and grant him peace, and next to it is the Prophet’s Chamber, and the starting point of the Islamic conquests, in addition to other features, and the virtues that confirm the great reward of its increase, Its construction, expansion, maintenance, and service to those who visit it are the guests of God   of visitors, pilgrims and Umrah performers. 9 - The Messenger, may God bless him and grant him peace, built it and his companions participated in it. 10 - The virtue of building and expanding the Prophet’s Mosque is indicated by the hadith of Qatada, may God be pleased with him, who said: The surroundings of the mosque One of the main landmarks surrounding the Prophet’s Mosque is Baqi’ al-Gharqad, which is the main cemetery for the people of Medina since the time of the Prophet, It is currently located at the western wall of the mosque. Hundreds of the Prophet’s companions are resting in Al-Baqi’, the mosque is also surrounded by government buildings, hospitals, luxury hotels, shopping complexes and main roads. The Trustees The Grand Mosque and the Prophet’s Mosque are managed by the General Presidency for the Affairs of the Grand Mosque and the Prophet’s Mosque,   But the task of serving and caring for the Prophet’s Mosque is one of the responsibilities of the Saudi royal court, and therefore the Saudi king is called “the Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques.” The architecture and decoration of the Noble Mosque The mosque is distinguished by its small domes The spokesman for the General Presidency of the Grand Mosque and the Prophet’s Mosque, Sheikh Abdul Wahed Al-Hattab, said that there are 250 umbrellas in the courtyard of the Prophet’s Mosque, its purpose is to protect worshipers from rain and stormy weather. He said that each of these umbrellas, equipped with puncturing systems, can protect 800 worshipers from rain and cover areas of 143 square metres,   The Prophet’s Mosque, one of the largest mosques in the world, is filled with wonderful decorations and advanced technologies. The Saudi authorities have spent billions of riyals on it to restore, maintain, expand and beautify it.

  • Al-Aqsa Mosque

    Al-Aqsa Mosque and its importance in Islam Al-Aqsa Mosque is the second mosque to be built on earth, and most of the prophets and messengers, peace be upon them, lived around it. Among them: Abraham, Solomon, Zakaria, Jesus, David, and the Virgin Mary, And the Prophet Muhammad - may God bless him and grant him peace - has a night journey to him, and Al-Aqsa Mosque is all that revolves around the wall, and it is located in the far southeastern corner, The Old City of Jerusalem, featuring the Dome of the Rock and the Al-Qibli Mosque. A large number of nearly 200 monuments of domes, arches, schools, squares, museums and other monuments. Historians disagreed about who was the first to build Al-Aqsa Mosque? Are they the angels, or the Prophet of God Adam peace be upon him or the Prophet Ibrahim peace be upon him or the Prophet Solomon peace be upon him There is an opinion stating that the angels may build the Sacred House, so Ibn Hajar mentioned in Al-Fath: The first to build Al-Aqsa Mosque was Adam, peace be upon him, and it was said the angels, and it was said Shem bin Noah, peace be upon him, and Jacob, peace be upon him, said: Likewise: I found evidence supporting the saying of those who said: Adam, peace be upon him. He built both mosques, If we are sure that it was the Prophet of God Solomon who built Al-Aqsa Mosque, When God's Prophet Solomon - may God bless him and grant him peace - built Jerusalem, asked God three things: 1 - Judgment consistent with God's judgment. 2 - A judgment after which there will be no other person. 3 - No one goes to Al-Aqsa Mosque only for the sake of prayer, so he does not go out unless his sins are erased on the day his mother gave birth, that is, all his sins are forgiven for him. A problem in the way of understanding The confusion between the two hadiths, because there are long periods between Abraham and Solomon, History people said: more than a thousand years. And it was said: Abraham and Solomon, peace be upon them, do not renew except what others establish The names of Al-Aqsa Mosque and why is it called by this name? The reason for naming Al-Aqsa Mosque was given this name because of its distance from the Grand Mosque in Makkah Al-Mukarramah, so it is far from it, Bayt al-Maqdis, meaning in the language the Holy House or the Sanctuary, Elijah Mosque: It was said in its meaning: the house of God, and on the authority of Ka’b al-Ahbar that he hated being called Elijah, but rather the holy house of God, and Al-Wasiti narrated it from him.
