Ibn Mas’ud رضي الله عنه reported that Messenger of Allaah صلى الله عليه وسلم said: «مَنْ قَرَأَ حَرْفًا مِنْ كِتَابِ اللهِ فَلَهُ بِهِ حَسَنَةٌ، وَالْحَسَنَةُ بِعَشْرِ أَمْثَالِهَا، لَا أَقُولُ «الٓمٓ» حَرْفٌ، وَلَكِنْ أَلِفٌ حَرْفٌ، وَلَامٌ حَرْفٌ، وَمِيمٌ حَرْفٌ» “Whoever recites a letter from the Book of Allaah, for him is a good deed by it, and the good deed is by ten times its like. I do not say ‘Alif-Laam-Meem’ is a letter, but rather Alif is a letter, and Laam is a letter, and Meem is a letter.” -Sunan at-Tirmidhi _ t.me/ummuhayaa whatsapp.com/channel/0029Va9bGOY4inorAzrDRP2W

*✨ Lines to Light ✨* بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم How many of us have carried the dream of memorizing the Qur’ān for years? For some, it’s been 2 years… for others, 5 or even 10 years and yet, we may not have grown even by a single page. The sad truth is that without a plan, we keep pushing the dream forward, and one day we wake up realizing: it’s still just a dream in our heads. But what if there was a simple way to start? 🌿 A Steady Path: 3 Lines a Day Memorize 3 lines daily That’s 1 page weekly Which means the entire Qur’ān in 12.5 years It sounds slow but it’s steady. And steady always beats “someday.” 🕰 The Formula 3 lines take about 30 seconds to read If repeated 50 times a day thats about 25 minutes total Split into 3 sessions: Fajr: 25 repetitions ʿAsr: 15 repetitions Maghrib/Ishāʾ: 10 repetitions ✨ Why This Works No overwhelm, just 3 lines Strong memorization through repetition Qur’ān stays with you throughout the day Slowly but surely, you’ll complete the journey 🌸 Start Now! Memorization is not about speed, it’s about consistency. Imagine yourself, 12 years from now standing with the Qur’ān in your heart, while others are still saying “one day I’ll start.” So let’s begin. Not tomorrow. Not “someday.” Today. With just 3 lines.

Shaykh Muqbil ibn Hadi al-Wadi'i رحمه الله said: “Whoever marries a woman who wears the niqaab and gloves, does not go out merely for sightseeing and amusement, inclines toward the people of truth, does not go to the public bathhouses, and does not frequently engage in blame and quarrelling, then he has indeed attained a woman of noble character.” Al-Imaam al-Almaʿī, p. 248. _ t.me/ummuhayaa whatsapp.com/channel/0029Va9bGOY4inorAzrDRP2W

Allaah clearly explains His rulings and the wisdom behind them. So that people may remember what they have forgotten. Learn what they were ignorant of. And act upon what they had neglected. -Tafsīr as-Saʿdī _ t.me/ummuhayaa whatsapp.com/channel/0029Va9bGOY4inorAzrDRP2W

And do not marry polytheistic women until they believe. Meaning: Do not marry women who associate partners with Allaah as long as they remain upon their polytheism, until they believe. A believing woman, even if she possesses little beauty or attractiveness, is better than a polytheist woman, even if the latter is extremely beautiful and appealing. This ruling is general for all polytheistic women. However, Sūrah al-Mā'idah specifically permits marriage to chaste women from the People of the Book, as Allaah says: “And chaste women from those who were given the Scripture.” “And do not marry polytheistic men [to your women] until they believe.” This ruling is general and has no exception. Then Allaah mentions the wisdom behind prohibiting a Muslim man or woman from marrying someone who differs from them in religion: “Those invite to the Fire.” Meaning: Through their statements, Their actions, And their way of life. Mixing closely with them carries danger. The danger here is not merely worldly harm, but everlasting misery in the Hereafter. From this reasoning in the verse, it is understood that close companionship with every polytheist and every person of religious innovation is discouraged, because: If marriage is prohibited despite its many benefits, Then ordinary companionship is even more deserving of caution. This is especially true when the non-Muslim or innovator holds authority or influence over the Muslim, such as through service, dependence, or similar situations. In the statement: “And do not marry polytheistic men [to your women]” there is evidence that a guardian (walī) has a role and authority in marriage. “But Allaah invites to Paradise and forgiveness.” Meaning: Allaah calls His servants to attain Paradise. He calls them to attain forgiveness, through which punishment is removed. He does this by calling them to the means that lead to Paradise and forgiveness, such as: Righteous deeds, Sincere repentance, Beneficial knowledge, And righteous actions. “And He makes His verses clear to the people so that they may remember.” Meaning: Allaah clearly explains His rulings and the wisdom behind them. So that people may remember what they have forgotten. Learn what they were ignorant of. And act upon what they had neglected. -Tafsīr as-Saʿdī _ t.me/ummuhayaa whatsapp.com/channel/0029Va9bGOY4inorAzrDRP2W

وَٱصۡبِرۡ فَإِنَّ ٱللَّهَ لَا یُضِیعُ أَجۡرَ ٱلۡمُحۡسِنِینَ And be patient, for indeed, Allāh does not allow to be lost the reward of those who do good. [Surah Hūd: 115] “And be patient” — meaning: Restrain yourself upon obedience to Allaah. Restrain yourself from disobedience to Him. Make yourself adhere firmly to this path. Continue steadfastly and do not become weary, frustrated, or impatient. “For indeed, Allaah does not allow the reward of the doers of good to be lost.” Rather: Allaah accepts from them the best of what they have done. He rewards them according to the best of their deeds. He fully preserves their reward and never lets any of it go to waste. In this verse is a great encouragement to remain patient, by motivating the weak soul with the hope of Allaah's reward whenever it becomes tired, weak, or loses enthusiasm. _ Tafsīr as-Saʿdī t.me/ummuhayaa whatsapp.com/channel/0029Va9bGOY4inorAzrDRP2W

How to make the most of this blessed day (of Arafah) Writen by Shaykh Abu AbdirRahmān Abdullaah Al-Iryaani - حفظه الله بســـم اللــه الرحــمــن الـرحـــيــم So, the successful one – among Muslim men and women – is he whom Allaah grants success to seize the opportunity of this great day and honors with liberation from the fire of Hell. Making the most of it involves several matters, from them: Summary 1. Fasting. https://t.me/AwfIbnMaalikIsaamicLibrary/3737 2. Du'a (Supplication) https://t.me/AwfIbnMaalikIsaamicLibrary/3738 3. Tahlil (saying Laa ilaaha Illa Llaah - there is no diety worthy of true worship except Allaah) https://t.me/AwfIbnMaalikIsaamicLibrary/3739 4. Takbeer (saying Allaahu Akbar - Allaah is Greater than all else). https://t.me/AwfIbnMaalikIsaamicLibrary/3740 5. Diligent Striving in Daily Duties https://t.me/AwfIbnMaalikIsaamicLibrary/3741

How should we spend? { یَسۡـَٔلُونَكَ مَاذَا یُنفِقُونَۖ قُلۡ مَاۤ أَنفَقۡتُم مِّنۡ خَیۡرࣲ فَلِلۡوَ ٰ⁠لِدَیۡنِ وَٱلۡأَقۡرَبِینَ وَٱلۡیَتَـٰمَىٰ وَٱلۡمَسَـٰكِینِ وَٱبۡنِ ٱلسَّبِیلِۗ وَمَا تَفۡعَلُوا۟ مِنۡ خَیۡرࣲ فَإِنَّ ٱللَّهَ بِهِۦ عَلِیمࣱ } They ask you, [O Muḥammad], what they should spend. Say, Whatever you spend of good is [to be] for parents and relatives and orphans and the needy and the traveler. And whatever you do of good - indeed, Allāh is Knowing of it. [Surah Al-Baqarah: 215] They ask you about spending, and this includes asking about: what should be spent, and who it should be spent on. So Allaah answered both matters by saying: “Say: Whatever good you spend…” Meaning: whatever wealth you spend, whether little or much. The people most deserving and most entitled to it are those who have the greatest rights over you: Parents: Honoring them is obligatory, and being undutiful to them is forbidden. One of the greatest ways of honoring them is spending on them, and one of the greatest forms of disobedience is refusing to spend on them when they are in need. Therefore, spending on parents is obligatory for a financially able child. Relatives: After parents come the closest relatives, each according to closeness and need. Spending on them is both charity and maintaining family ties. Orphans: These are children who have no provider. They are likely to be in need because they cannot manage their own affairs and have lost the one who earned for them. So Allaah instructed His servants to care for them out of His mercy and kindness toward them. The needy: Those who are afflicted by poverty and hardship. They should be helped so their needs may be relieved and they may be sufficed. The traveler: A stranger stranded away from his homeland. He should be helped with enough provision to reach his destination. Then, after specifically mentioning these categories due to their great need, Allaah gave a general statement: “And whatever good you do…” Whether charity to these people or others, and even all acts of obedience and worship, since all of them enter under the meaning of “good.” “Indeed, Allaah is Knowing of it.” Meaning: He will reward you for it and preserve it for you, according to: your intention and sincerity, the amount spent, whether little or much, the severity of the need, and the greatness of its benefit and impact. _ Tafsīr as-Saʿdī t.me/ummuhayaa whatsapp.com/channel/0029Va9bGOY4inorAzrDRP2W

Words More Valuable Than Dinars Abu Ubaydah ibn Abdullah ibn Mas'ud رَحِمَهُ اللَّهُ said:r لَوْ أَنَّ رَجُلًا جَلَسَ عَلَى ظَهْرِ الطَّرِيقِ وَمَعَهُ خِرْقَةٌ فِيهَا دَنَانِيرُ، لَا يَمُرُّ إِنْسَانٌ إِلَّا أَعْطَاهُ دِينَارًا، وَآخَرُ إِلَى جَانِبِهِ يُكَبِّرُ اللَّهَ تَعَالَى، لَكَانَ صَاحِبُ التَّكْبِيرِ أَعْظَمَ أَجْرًا. If a man were to sit by the roadside with a cloth containing dinars, and no person passed by except that he gave him a dinar, while another man beside him was proclaiming the greatness of Allaah (saying: ‘Allaahu Akbar’), then the one engaged in takbeer would have the greater reward. _ Hilyat al-Awliyaa’ (4/204). t.me/ummuhayaa whatsapp.com/channel/0029Va9bGOY4inorAzrDRP2W

THE MARKET OF PARADISE, AND WHAT THEY WILL GET THERE OF DELIGHT AND BEAUTY Anas Ibn Malik reported that Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) said: إِنَّ فِي الْجَنَّةِ لَسُوقًا يَأْتُونَهَا كُلَّ جُمُعَةٍ، فَتَهُبُّ رِيحُ الشَّمَالِ فَتَحْثُو فِي وُجُوهِهِمْ وَثِيَابِهِمْ، فَيَزْدَادُونَ حُسْنًا وَجَمَالًا، فَيَرْجِعُونَ إِلَى أَهْلِيهِمْ وَقَدِ ازْدَادُوا حُسْنًا وَجَمَالًا، فَيَقُولُ لَهُمْ أَهْلُوهُمْ: وَاللَّهِ لَقَدِ ازْدَدْتُمْ بَعْدَنَا حُسْنًا وَجَمَالًا، فَيَقُولُونَ: وَأَنْتُمْ وَاللَّهِ لَقَدِ ازْدَدْتُمْ بَعْدَنَا حُسْنًا وَجَمَالًا In Paradise there is a street to which they would come every Friday. The north wind will blow and would scatter fragrance on their faces and on their clothes and would add to their beauty and loveliness, and then they would go back to their family after having an added lustre to their beauty and loveliness, and their family would say to them: By Allah, you have been increased in beauty and loveliness after leaving us, and they would say: By Allah, you have also increased in beauty and loveliness after us. _ Sahih Muslim 2833 t.me/ummuhayaa whatsapp.com/channel/0029Va9bGOY4inorAzrDRP2W

The High-Standard Paradox: A Call to Build Your Own Capital بســـم اللــه الرحــمــن الـرحـــيــم Many women today proclaim that they seek an “Upstanding Man”—a man of emotional intelligence, financial strength, and unwavering loyalty. Yet beneath this loud pursuit lies a silent contradiction: the expectation to receive everything while offering almost nothing in return. This is not a search for partnership. It has become a demand for a multi-functional being—provider, therapist, leader, protector, and mind-reader—packaged conveniently into one man. The real problem is a Mismatch in Marital Capital. You ask for emotional maturity, yet any moment of self-reflection triggers defensiveness. You crave stability, yet keep gravitating towards chaos and calling it “chemistry.” You desire a masculine leader, yet resist the feminine softness, receptivity, and cooperation required to support such leadership. Allāh, the Most High, reminds us that balance and compatibility are foundational principles in relationships: “Good women are for good men, and good men are for good women.” — Sūrah an-Nūr (24:26) What is often called “high standards” is in reality entitlement dressed as ambition. A foundational truth must be acknowledged: Standards are measured by what you demand from yourself long before you demand from others. Allāh says: “O you who believe! Why do you say that which you do not do? Most hateful it is with Allāh that you say that which you do not do.” — Sūrah aṣ-Ṣaff (61:2–3) The Prophet ﷺ also emphasized the principle of personal responsibility and character development: “Every one of you is a shepherd and every one of you will be questioned about his flock.” — Ṣaḥīḥ al-Bukhārī and Ṣaḥīḥ Muslim If you seek profound emotional maturity, you must first heal your triggers and regulate your reactions, for Allāh praises those who restrain themselves: “Those who restrain their anger and pardon people.” — Sūrah Āl ʿImrān (3:134) If you seek steadfast consistency, you must first remove inconsistency from your own life, because the most beloved deeds to Allāh are those that endure: “The most beloved deeds to Allāh are those that are consistent, even if they are small.” — Ṣaḥīḥ al-Bukhārī and Ṣaḥīḥ Muslim If you seek depth of character, you must first abandon superficiality, for the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ said: “Indeed, Allāh does not look at your appearance or your wealth, but He looks at your hearts and your deeds.” — Ṣaḥīḥ Muslim If you seek strong leadership, you must first develop the humility and character worthy of being led, for Allāh commands mutual cooperation within marriage: “Men are the maintainers and protectors of women.” — Sūrah an-Nisāʾ (4:34) This leadership is not tyranny; rather it is a responsibility built upon mercy and cooperation. Allāh says: “Live with them honourably and in kindness.” — Sūrah an-Nisāʾ (4:19) This is the hidden root of repeated heartbreak. Good men exist—even if they are few—and they are ready to lead with honour. Yet a painful possibility remains: you may not yet have cultivated the womanhood your ideal man would naturally choose. The Prophet ﷺ provided a clear guideline for what should truly be sought in marriage: “If there comes to you one whose religion and character you are pleased with, then marry him.” — Sunan at-Tirmidhī Build your expectations on the solid foundation of your own character, not on fantasies that crumble under scrutiny. For when entitlement masquerades as empowerment, it becomes nothing more than a refined form of self-deception. Allāh says: “Indeed, Allāh will not change the condition of a people until they change what is within themselves.” — Sūrah ar-Raʿd (13:11) Abu Juwayriyah t.me/Insightful_Couples whatsapp.com/channel/0029VbB7MBUDp2Q4elmF2U3t

Ikhlaas: You must not be mentioned.

‘The Prophet (ﷺ) cursed the women who imitate men and vice versa’ [al-Bukhari (no. 5885)] This is in relation to women who stop at the above-mentioned issue. Perhaps they may begin with pants which are loose and wide and do not show the size of the woman’s thighs, behind, nor [clothing] which shows her chest and breasts. However, women do not have a limit [in relation to clothing] and they will expand in relation to that. Perhaps a day will come when women will have pants which are made from a type of plastic that sticks to the body completely and resembles a person’s skin such that a woman walks with such pants as if she is completely naked! Even though this is far-fetched, however it is not impossible in relation to how women indulge in the issues relating to displaying their adornment. We ask Allah for safety and guidance”. End. [Liqaat wa Fatawaa al-Aqiliyaat al-Muslimah (pg. 154)] With that being said, a Muslim woman should strive to adhere to wearing the Hijab that fulfills the conditions outlined above. In the situation she finds difficulty, then she should put her trust in Allah and strive to obey Him. If a woman cannot wear the Jilbaab, then she can wear the Hijab in a manner mentioned above. She should work diligently in educating herself and her family about the importance of the Hijab and gradually work to wearing that which is more concealing and pleasing to Allah. It is important also to remember that we are fortunate to live in an environment in which there is tolerance and acceptance. Just as many people are free to wear revealing and immodest clothing, women are free to wear modest and concealing clothing. That is not to say that there are no challenges and difficulties that a woman may experience while wearing the Hijab in western societies. A Muslim woman should always remember that any difficult she experiences in fulfilling the commandments of Allah will increase her reward based on the hadith of Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) that the Prophet (ﷺ) said: إنَّ لك من الأجرِ على قدرِ نصَبِك ونفقتِك ‘Verily for you is reward in accordance to the level of your hardship and the level of your spending’ [Saheeh Targheeb no. 1116 and it has an origin in al-Bukhari and Muslim] Difficulties that may be experienced at the beginning will ultimately disappear and the reward and pleasure of Allah will remain. A person must always ask Allah to grant them strength and ability to adhere to His religion and renew their intentions. Be sincere and optimistic and Allah will open opportunities for you and the hearts of the people. And Allah knows best Faisal bin Abdul Qaadir bin Hassan Abu Sulaymaan t.me/ummuhayaa whatsapp.com/channel/0029Va9bGOY4inorAzrDRP2W Source

However, in the situation a woman lives in an environment where it is difficult for women to wear the Jilbaab, some of the scholars permitted it provided it is spacious. Shaikh Ibn ul-‘Uthaymeen (d. 1421 H.), may Allah have mercy upon him, said, “[…]A woman wearing an ‘Abaa’ah on the shoulders along with covering her body, there is no harm in that. However, her remaining upon what she wore before is better. However, if the women in the society she is in wear the ‘Abaa’ah on the shoulder, there is no harm…”. End. [Fatawaa Nur ‘ala ad-Darb (no. 690)] 3. Two Pieces of Clothing: such as a long Khimaar over a wide and long skirt (floor length dress). This type of Hijab was mentioned by Shaikh al-Albani (d. 1420), may Allah have mercy upon him, in the post cited earlier. The Shaikh’s full fatwa can be found online. In relation to wearing a skirt (floor length dress), Shaikh Salih al-Fawzaan (may Allah preserve him) said about it, “What is desired from the Muslim woman is that she covers herself with clothing which covers her and is customary in her country. The clothing must also be wide and concealing such that nothing that is behind it can be seen, and that it be free from adornment when she is exiting from the house. The clothing must be free from adornment and be plain…”. End. It is important to note that the skirt that is mentioned is one that is spacious and floor length, not tight and short. It also must be worn with a long garment on top covering her upper body. A sister should be careful not to wear a tight, short skirt or a spacious, long skirt but without a long and spacious garment covering her body. If a woman is in doubt, it is important to always err on the side of caution and remember the principle Shaikh Ibn ul-‘Uthaymeen (d. 1421 H.), may Allah have mercy upon him, mentioned, كلما كان لباس المرأة أستر كان أفضل “The more concealing the clothing of a woman is; the better”. End. [Reference] As for a woman wearing pants, then it is not permissible for a woman because it does not conceal the woman’s body, even if the pants are loose. Shaikh Ibn ul-‘Uthaymeen (d. 1421 H.), may Allah have mercy upon him, said, “Even if the pants are loose and wide, then they distinguish one leg from another [and this is that] which is not something concealing [of her body]”. End. [Majmoo’ Fatawaa wa Rasaail (12/286)] For this reason, Shaikh Ibn ul-‘Uthaymeen (may Allah have mercy upon him) mentioned [Majmoo’ Fatawaa wa Rasaail (12/285)] that wearing of pants falls into the following Hadith, عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ، قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم ‏ “‏ صِنْفَانِ مِنْ أَهْلِ النَّارِ لَمْ أَرَهُمَا قَوْمٌ مَعَهُمْ سِيَاطٌ كَأَذْنَابِ الْبَقَرِ يَضْرِبُونَ بِهَا النَّاسَ وَنِسَاءٌ كَاسِيَاتٌ عَارِيَاتٌ مُمِيلاَتٌ مَائِلاَتٌ رُءُوسُهُنَّ كَأَسْنِمَةِ الْبُخْتِ الْمَائِلَةِ لاَ يَدْخُلْنَ الْجَنَّةَ وَلاَ يَجِدْنَ رِيحَهَا وَإِنَّ رِيحَهَا لَيُوجَدُ مِنْ مَسِيرَةِ كَذَا وَكَذَا Abu Huraira reported Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ) having said this: Two are the types of the denizens of Hell whom I did not see: people having flogs like the tails of the ox with them and they would be beating people, and the women who would be dressed but appear to be naked, who would be inclined (to evil) and make their husbands incline towards it. Their heads would be like the humps of the bukht camel inclined to one side. They will not enter Paradise and they would not smell its odour whereas its odour would be smelt from such and such distance [Saheeh Muslim (no. 2128)] In another fatwa, Shaikh Ibn ul-‘Uthaymeen (d. 1421 H.), may Allah have mercy upon him, was asked, Question: “Is wearing loose pants which do not show the shins with a long blouse on top of it which reaches halfway to the thighs or more, along with a Khimar covering the head considered the legislated Hijab for women? Or is the Hijab the well-known Jilbab and nothing else? We hope for some detail on the issue.” Answer: “That which I see is that it is not allowed for a woman to wear pants at all because this is from the clothing specific for men.
