Remembrance (dhikr) and the path of mercy......................


In the name of Allah praise be to you 

This article will contain Quranic verses which would help us find what Allah says about dhikr

"And whoever turns himself away from the remembrance (dhikr) of al-Rahman (The Compassionate), We appoint for him a shaitan (a satan), so he becomes his close companion (and associate). And most surely they (the satan's) turn them away from the path, though they (the people) persistently imagine that they are rightly guided...." (Qur'an 43:36-37)

O you who Believe, make abundant remembrance of ALLAH!" (33:41)

Those who remember Allāh (always, and in prayers) standing, sitting, and lying down on their sides, and think deeply about the creation of the heavens and the earth, (saying): "Our Lord! You have not created (all) this without purpose, glory to You! (Exalted be You above all that they associate with You as partners). Give us salvation from the torment of the Fire.(Al Imran 3:191)

Verily, in the remembrance of Allāh do hearts find rest.(Ra'd 13:28)

124 "But whosoever turns away from My Reminder (i.e. neither believes in this Qur'ān nor acts on its orders, etc.) verily, for him is a life of hardship, and We shall raise him up blind on the Day of Resurrection."

125 He will say:"O my Lord! Why have you raised me up blind, while I had sight (before)."

126 (Allah) will say: "Like this, Our Ayat . came unto you, but you disregarded them (i.e. you left them, did not think deeply in them, and you turned away from them), and so this Day, you will be neglected (in the Hell-fire, away from Allah's Mercy)."(Ta-Ha 20)

Make dua for your brothers and sisters



On the authority of Umm Darda (May Allah be pleased with her) it is reported that Prophet (Peace be upon him) said:
“…the dua of a muslim for his brother (in Islam) in his absence is readily accepted, and an angel is appointed to his side, whenever he makes a beneficial dua for his brother the appointed angel says “Ameen and may you also be blessed with the same”

8 Steps for my dearest Reverts

Assalamu Alikum

This article of mine will be for one who accepted Islam from their hearts and Changed their lifestyle just for sake of Allah. Alhamdulliah Allah Guided you to the perfect path.May Allah accept our faiths and admit us in Jannah insha allah. Today I am here to write a simple article for one who was protected from the hell fire. Alhamdullilah. 

1. Practice Islam as much as you can

The Prophet Muhammad said, «He who loves my Sunnah has loved me, and he who loves me will be with me in Paradise» (Tirmidhi) .
 As a new Muslim, you will have trouble keeping up with prayers every day, fasting during Ramadan, and the many other practices in this religion. Keeping up with your devotional practices is something that will strengthen your faith immensely. Read the Qur’an whenever possible. Find a collection of hadith and read it often. You will start to feel a connection to Allah (swt) and you will become used to Islam as a religion and a way of life.

2. Find a teacher

The Prophet Muhammad said, «For him who follows a path for seeking knowledge, Allah will ease for him the path to Paradise» (Muslim).
Finding a teacher to bounce ideas off of is a great way to learn your deen . This will also help you have a real grounding in the Islamic way of life .

3. Respect your parents

The Prophet Muhammad said, «Heaven lies under the feet of your mother» (Ahmad, Nasa’i).

Keeping up a good relationship with your family is essential.Might be your parents are not muslims but give them good respect , love them and take care of them.Help them and spend time with them. But make sure not to do anything against Islam the way of life . Try to avoid bringing up or taking part in controversial subjects regarding your former religion.

4.  Learn Arabic language the language of Qurabn

{Indeed, We have sent it down as an Arabic Qur’an that you might understand} [Yusuf:2}

Start by learning the alphabet and connecting letters together. Sit on that for a while and eventually you will be able to follow along in the Qur’an if you listen to a recitation on your computer or MP3 player. You will start to recognize words.Look for a person who can make you learn arabic.

5. Maintain your Identity

{O mankind, indeed We have created you from male and female and made you peoples and tribes that you may know one another. Indeed, the most noble of you in the sight of Allah is the most righteous of you. Indeed, Allah is Knowing and Acquainted} [Al Hujurat:13].

Cover what you are supposed to cover.Eat those which are permitted. Make sure you are avoiding things that are prohibited.Still keep enjoying your life on the right track.

6. Find friends who can guide you and love everyone for sake of Allah

Find Muslim friends who can help you to go closer to Allah, because good friends are only one who guide you to the right path; and avoid one who pulls you toward disasters.And love anyone for sake of Allah alone as 
our Prophet Muhammad said, «On the Day of Resurrection Allah Almighty will proclaim: “Where are those who have mutual love for My Glory’s sake? Today I shall shelter them in My shade where there is no shade but Mine» (Muslim).

7. Avoid Loneliness

The Prophet Muhammad said, «Islam began as something strange and will revert to being strange as it began, so give glad tidings to the strangers» (Muslim).
The best thing we can do to fight the feeling of loneliness is to spend as much time as possible with good company.Try not to lock yourself away in your apartment to avoid the world. This will just causedeep depression and can lead to searching haram (unlawful).

8. Do not despair

The Prophet Muhammad said, «So know that victory is with patience, and relief is with distress and that with hardship comes ease» .
Being a convert to Islam, you will face a lot of tribulations. There is not anything that you cannot overcome though, and never despair in Allah (swt).Allah (swt) guided to you to Islam, you searched for the answer and you found it. Be happy and constantly remind yourself of the blessings in your life. There are a lot of good things that will happen to you and you are on the straight road to Jannah (paradise).

8 Things to Strengthen the Husband-Wife Relationship in Islam

  1. GOOD ATTITUDE
  2. A Muslim must always have a positive attitude toward life. We say, “Alhamdulillah” (Praise be to Allah) for whatever He gives us (or doesn’t give us).

  3. HELP
  4. Our Prophet (peace be upon him) stressed the importance of men helping their wives and Allah tells us the importance of women being mates and helpers to their husbands. This is a real “win-win” situation, if we just follow it.

  5. TRUST
  6. Muslims, men and women are ordered to be trustworthy and follow the example of our prophet (peace be upon him) as the “Trustworthy”.

  7. RESPECT
  8. You get respect, when you give respect. This is mandatory for all Muslims toward all people, how much more toward the spouse?

  9. JOY
  10. Our prophet (peace be upon him) used to entertain his wife Aysha (peace be upon her) and she used to play and race with him. She said, “I used to out-run him, but then when I got heavy he used to outrun me”. He told us to play with our wives and have some fun.

  11. FORGIVENESS
  12. Clearly, this is one of the most important aspects of Islam. Whoever does not forgive – will not be forgiven. This comes from Allah, Himself. We must learn to forgive each others for a good relationship.

  13. TIME
  14. Spend time together. Go for walks. Take a bus ride. Visit a friend or someone who is ill (you get big rewards for that). Fast together on Mondays & Thursdays if you can. Make hajj – this is a great way to get a “new start” on life.

  15. WORSHIP
  16. Our prophet, peace be upon him, used to lead his wife in salat, even though he lived connected to the mosque. He told us not to make our homes like grave yards. We should offer some of our sunnah prayers at home.

Islam is the best: Why it is great to Fast on the day of Ashoora ?

Islam is the best: Why it is great to Fast on the day of Ashoora ?: The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) used to be very keen to make sure he fasted on the day of ‘Ashoora’ because of it...

Why it is great to Fast on the day of Ashoora ?

The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) used to be very keen to make sure he fasted on the day of ‘Ashoora’ because of its great status.
 It was narrated that Ibn ‘Abbaas (may Allaah be pleased with him) said: I never saw the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) so keen to make sure he fasted any day and preferring it over another except this day, the day of ‘Ashoora’, and this month – meaning Ramadaan. Narrated by al-Bukhaari, 1867. 

 The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) came to Madeenah and saw the Jews fasting on the day of ‘Ashoora’. He said, “What is this?” They said, “This is a good day, this is the day when Allaah saved the Children of Israel from their enemy and Moosa fasted on this day.” He said, “We are closer to Moosa than you.” So he fasted on this day and told the people to fast. (Bukhaari (1865) from Ibn ‘Abbaas (may Allaah be pleased with him)

Fasting the day of ‘Ashoora’ does expiate for the past year, because the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said: “Fasting the day of ‘Arafah I hope Allaah will expiate thereby for the year before it and the year after it, and fasting the day of ‘Ashoora’ I hope Allaah will expiate thereby for the year that came before it.” Narrated by Muslim, 1162. This is by the bounty that Allaah bestows upon us, whereby fasting one day expiates for the sins of a whole year. And Allaah is the Owner of great bounty.
The expiation of sins that is achieved by fasting ‘Ashoora’ refers to minor sins; with regard to major sins, they need separate repentance.

It is permissible to fast the day of ‘Ashoora’ on its own, but it is better to fast the day before it or the day after it. This is the Sunnah that is proven from the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him), as he said, “If I am still alive next year, I will certainly fast the ninth.” Narrated by Muslim, 1134.

Islam is the best: How should one stand with imam in a congregational...: Assalamu Alikum let us learn how to stand with the imam in a congregational prayer in accordance with sunnah of our beloved prophet  (peace...

How should one stand with imam in a congregational prayer?

Assalamu Alikum let us learn how to stand with the imam in a congregational prayer in accordance with sunnah of our beloved prophet  (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) .

When  Allah says about the importance of  congregational prayer  he says:“When you (O Messenger Muhammad) are among them, and lead them in As‑Salaah (the prayer), let one party of them stand up [in Salaah (prayer)] with you taking their arms with them; when they finish their prostrations, let them take their positions in the rear and let the other party come up which have not yet prayed, and let them pray with you”[al-Nisa’ 4:102]

How should one stand with imam in a congregational prayer?

If only one man is praying with the imam, then he should stand to the imam’s right, and not on his left, because of the hadeeth of Ibn ‘Abbaas (may Allaah be pleased with him), who stayed overnight with his maternal aunt Maymoonah (may Allaah be pleased with her); the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) got up to pray qiyaam al-layl, and Ibn ‘Abbaas stood on his left, and he reached behind him and made him stand on his right. This indicates that if only one person is praying behind the imam, he should stand on the right and not on the left.

But if more than one person is praying behind the imam, then they should stand behind him, and the right side of the row is better than the left which means longer than left side. This applies if the two sides of the row are similar, but if the right side of the row is clearly stretching further than the left, then being on the left and closer to the imam is better.

Based on this, the people praying behind the imam should not all be on the imam’s right to the extent that there is no one on his left except one or two men. That is because what is prescribed in the case of three men is that the imam should be between them, with one man on his right and one on his left; they should not all be on his right. This indicates that the imam should be in the middle of the row or thereabouts. May Allah accept us and all our good deeds and admit us to Jannah.

My friends shall we make our good deeds accepted ones always !!



Praise be to Allaah. 

In this article let us speak about how we can make our good deeds in an accepted way.For a worship or a good deed to be accepted, it has to be done with  perfect love and perfect humility to Allah.

Allaah says “But those who believe, love Allaah more (than anything else)”[al-Baqarah 2:165] 

“and they used to call on Us with hope and fear, and used to humble themselves before Us”[al-Anbiya’ 21:90] 

From the verse mentioned above we can realize that worship is only accepted from one who believes and one who love  Allaah subhanahu wa tha ala.

“And We shall turn to whatever deeds they (disbelievers, polytheists, sinners) did, and We shall make such deeds as scattered floating particles of dust”[al-Furqaan 25:23]\

For Deeds to be accepted it has to fulfil two conditions

1 – Sincerity of intention towards Allaah alone, which means that a person’s intention in all his words and actions, both outward and inward, is to do them for the sake of Allaah alone and no one else.

2 – The action must be in accordance with the laws which Allaah has enjoined and stated that He must be worshipped only in accordance with them. This is achieved by following the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) and the message he brought, and not going against that or introducing new acts of worship or new forms of worship which were not reported from him (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him).

“So whoever hopes for the Meeting with his Lord, let him work righteousness and associate none as a partner in the worship of his Lord” [al-Kahf 18:110]
The Messenger of Allaah (sallallaahu alaihi wasallam) said: "Every innovation is misguidance and going astray" Reported by Abu Daawood .And he (sallallaahu alaihi wasallam) also said: "… and every innovation is misguidance and all misguidance is in the Hellfire." Reported by an-Nasaa'ee

                                                  Jazakallah May Allah accept our good deeds

Amazed by the virtue of fasting six days in month of shawwaal

Praise be to Allaah.

Fasting six days of Shawwaal after the obligatory fast of Ramadaan is Sunnah Mustahabbah. It is recommended for the Muslim to fast six days of Shawwaal, which has great virtue and an immense reward.We even need not fasted immediately after 'Eid al-Fitr; it is permissible one or more days after 'Eid, and they may be done consecutively or separately during the month of Shawwal, according to what is easier for a person.  

Whoever fasts these six days will have recorded for him a reward as if he had fasted a whole year, as was reported in a saheeh hadeeth from the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him). Abu Ayyoob (may Allaah be pleased with him) reported that the Messenger of Allaah (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said: “Whoever fasts Ramadaan and follows it with six days of Shawwaal, it will be as if he fasted for a lifetime.” (Narrated by Muslim, Abu Dawood, al-Tirmidhi, al-Nisaa’i and Ibn Maajah).


The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) explained this when he said: “Whoever fasts for six days after (Eid) al-Fitr has completed the year: (whoever does a good deed (hasanah) will have ten hasanah like it).” According to another report: “Allaah has made for each hasanah ten like it, so a month is like fasting ten months, and fasting six days completes the year.” (al-Nisaa’i and Ibn Maajah. See alsoSaheeh al-Targheeb wa’l-Tarheeb, 1/421).

Another of the important benefits of fasting six days of Shawwaal is that is makes up for any shortfall in a person's obligatory Ramadan fasts, because no one is free of shortcomings or sins that have a negative effect on his fasting. On the Day of Resurrection, some of his naafil deeds will be taken to make up the shortcomings in his obligatory deeds, 
as the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said: “The first thing for which people will be brought to account on the Day of Resurrection will be their salaah (prayer). Our Lord, may He be glorified and exalted, will say to His angels – although He knows best – ‘Look at the salaah of My slave, whether it is complete or incomplete.’ If it is perfect, it will be recorded as perfect, and if something is lacking, He will say, ‘Look and see whether My slave did any voluntary (naafil) prayers.’ If he did some voluntary prayers, [Allaah] will say, Complete the obligatory actions of My slave from his voluntary actions.’ Then all his actions will be dealt with in a similar manner.” (Narrated by Abu Dawood).

Should we celebrating the night of the Isra’ and Mi’raaj?



As we know  Isra’ and Mi’raaj is a very important event in islamic history, there is no doubt about it.Reports from the Messenger of Allaah (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) that he was taken up into the heavens, and their gates were opened for him, until he passed beyond the seventh heaven, where his Lord spoke to him as He willed, and enjoined the five daily prayers upon him. At first Allaah, may He be exalted, enjoined fifty prayers, but our Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) kept going back and asking Him to reduce it, until He made them five, so they are five obligatory prayers but fifty in reward, because each good deed is rewarded tenfold. Alhamdullilah

Allaah says “Glorified (and Exalted) be He (Allaah) [above all that (evil) they associate with Him] Who took His slave (Muhammad) for a journey by night from Al‑Masjid Al‑Haraam (at Makkah) to Al‑Masjid Al‑Aqsa (in Jerusalem), the neighbourhood whereof We have blessed, in order that We might show him (Muhammad) of Our Ayaat (proofs, evidences, lessons, signs, etc.). Verily, He is the All‑Hearer, the All‑Seer”[al-Isra’ 17:1]

And it is not permissible for the Muslims to single it out for particular acts of worship, and it is not permissible for them to celebrate israa and mihraj , because the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) and his companions (may Allaah be pleased with them) did not celebrate it and they did not single it out in any way. If celebrating it was something that is prescribed in Islam, the Messenger would have told his ummah about that, either in word or in actins. If any such thing had happened, it would have been well known, and his companions would have transmitted the information to us. They narrated from their Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) everything that his ummah needs to know, and they did not neglect any aspect of the religion, rather they were the first ones to do anything good. If celebrating this night had been prescribed in Islam, they would have been the first people to do so.

It is our duty to look for truth.A lie or misguided activity or custom cannot be correct just because the elderly people or particular nation or a major group of people practice.

And in the saheeh ahaadeeth it is proven that the Messenger of Allaah (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) warned against bid’ah (innovation) and stated clearly that it is misguidance.In another Saheeh Muslim it is narrated that Jaabir (may Allaah be pleased with him) said: The Messenger of Allaah (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) used to say in his khutbah on Friday: “The best of speech is the Book of Allaah and the best of guidance is the guidance of Muhammad (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him). The worst of matters are those which are newly-invented, and every innovation is a going astray.” Al-Nasaa’i

So it is clear messenger of Allaah (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) or either his companions did not celebrate it ,let us avoide innovations and will do the acts which are prescribed by our belove messenger (sallahu alihi wasallam) insha allah....

Jazakallah khair for reading

Islam is the best: The Role of Youth in Islam 1

The Role of Youth in Islam 1


Despite the inexperience of youth, it is a time in a Muslim's life when his faith is likely to be tested repeatedly by temptations. It is the duty of young Muslims to overcome these temptations and preserve their Deen (Islamic way of life), share Islam with others and observe the teachings of of Islam, such as the Quran and the Hadith. Beyond fulfilling these basic responsibilities.If so he/ could attain the higher state in the sight of Allah.

The Prophet said : There are seven whom Allah ill shade in His Shade on the Day when there is no shade except His Shade: a just ruler; a youth who grew up in the worship of Allah, the Mighty and Majestic; a man whose heart is attached to the mosques; two men who love each other for Allah's sake, meeting for that and parting upon that; a man who is called by a woman of beauty and position [for illegal intercourse], but be says: 'I fear Allah', a man who gives in charity and hides it, such that his left hand does not know what his right hand gives in charity; and a man who remembered Allah in private and so his eyes shed tears.' (Sahih al-Bukhari )

This becomes apparent when we look at society around us and we see that most of the worldly distractions, such as music, games, clubs, fashion etc. are all specifically targeted at the young. 'You're only young once!' they are told, which is why many Muslims nowadays waste their youth thinking that they will pray, wear hijaab and go on Hajj, etc. when they are old, as if they have a guarantee of longevity from Allah! How well we would do to heed the Prophet's advice when he said:

'Take benefit of five before five: your youth before your old age, your health before your sickness, your wealth before your poverty, your free time before you are preoccupied and your life before your death.' (al-Haakim & others).

What should youth in Islam seek : In detail about this topic and more will be written in another article which will be linked soon

Is it Sunnah to fast in the month of rajab? Can i fast?



The month of Rajab is one of the sacred months of which Allaah says (interpretation of the meaning):
“Verily, the number of months with Allaah is twelve months (in a year), so was it ordained by Allaah on the Day when He created the heavens and the earth; of them four are Sacred (i.e. the 1st, the 7th, the 11th and the 12th months of the Islamic calendar). That is the right religion, so wrong not yourselves therein”
[al-Tawbah 9:36]

With regard to fasting the month of Rajab, there is no saheeh hadeeth to indicate that there is any special virtue in fasting all or part of this month or just on 27th day of this month.What some people do, singling out some days of Rajab for fasting, believing that they are better than others, has no basis in sharee’ah.

But there is a report from the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) which indicates that it is mustahabb to fast during the sacred months (and Rajab is one of the sacred months). The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said: “Fast some days of the sacred months and not others.” Narrated by Abu Dawood, 2428; classed as da’eef by al-Albaani in Da’eef Abi Dawood.

Even if this hadeeth were saheeh, it indicates that it is mustahabb to fast during the sacred months. So if a person fasts during Rajab because of this, and he also fasts in the other sacred months, there is nothing wrong with that. But singling out Rajab for fasting is not right.

Fasting in Rajab is no better than fasting in any other month, except that it is one of the sacred months. There is no report in the saheeh Sunnah to suggest that there is anything special about fasting in this month.
 Shaykh Ibn ‘Uthaymeen (may Allaah have mercy on him) was asked about fasting on the twenty-seventh of Rajab and spending that night in prayer. He replied: Fasting on the twenty-seventh of Rajab and spending that night in prayer is a bid’ah (innovation), and every bid’ah is a going astray.

‘aqeeqah,should a poor pay when she or he has debt to pay?

Praise be to Allah
In the name of Allah the most gracious most merciful.Aqeeqa is an act shown by prophet (sal)
‘Aqeeqah is Sunnah mu’akkadah. For a boy two sheep which meet the conditions for sacrifice should be slaughtered, and for a girl one sheep. The sheep should be slaughtered on the seventh day, but if it is delayed it is permissible to slaughter them at any time, and there is no sin in delaying it, but it is better to do it as soon as possible.

It was narrated that Buraydah (may Allaah be pleased with him) said: During the Jaahiliyyah, if a boy was born to one of us, we would slaughter a sheep and smear his head with its blood. When Allaah brought Islam, we would slaughter a sheep and shave (the child’s) head and smear it with saffron (Saffron is a type of perfume. )Narrated by Abu Dawood, 2843; classed as saheeh by Shaykh al-Albaani inSaheeh Abi Dawood.

It was narrated from ‘Aa’ishah (may Allaah be pleased with her) that the Messenger of Allaah (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) commanded them (to slaughter) two sheep of similar type for a boy and one sheep for a girl.  Narrated by al-Tirmidhi, 1513, who said it is hasan saheeh; classed as saheeh by al-Albaani in Saheeh al-Tirmidhi.

But there is no difference of opinion that it is not obligatory for one who is poor, let alone one who is in debt. Something that is more important than ‘aqeeqah – such as Hajj for example – does not take precedence over paying off debts.

“Allaah burdens not a person beyond his scope” [al-Baqarah 2:286]

“and [Allaah] has not laid upon you in religion any hardship” [al-Hajj 22:78]

Wedding party :enable the couple to find a means of happiness

Celebrating weddings is a celebration that is prescribed in sharee’ah, because it is a great blessing from Allaah, Who has enabled the couple to find a means of happiness and a way to achieve modesty and chastity. People have always expressed their joy for this blessing since ancient times and they still do so today, and that takes various forms and involves different customs in different societies and countries.

And as muslims we are bound to follow the prescribed way of life as shown by our beloved prophet (sal).With regard to having a wedding party in the Islamic manner, you have to keep away from the things which are forbidden in sharee’ah but which many people do not pay attention to during celebrations, such as the following:

1.With regard to the woman
going to a male, non-mahram hairdresser to have her hair done; or adorning herself in ways that are haraam, such as thinning the eyebrows by plucking them, or wearing tattoos, or wearing hair extensions, or other kinds of haraam things.

2.With regard to man
shaving his beard for the wedding night, which is done on the grounds that this makes him look more handsome, but this is something which is haraam according to sharee’ah; letting one's clothes hang below the ankle (isbaal).

3.Both men and women should avoid in the wedding party:
  • Mixing of men with women, and things that are involved in that, such as greeting and shaking hands with one another, and men and women dancing together, because all of that is haraam and is a very serious matter
  • Sing songs with bad meanings ,using unpermitted musical instruments and music during the party
  • Eating or Drinking which is forbidden in Islam such as wine ,pork....
  • Women wearing revealing, tight or short clothes.
  • spending extravagantly or going to extremes in showing off in wedding parties, because that may wipe out the blessing
  • The husband and wife exchanging rings ,cutting wedding cakes  thus imitating the kuffaar, thinking that this will increase the husband’s love for his wife and vice versa

Jinn......... What do i know about them??.......who are they....??

Praise be to Allaah.



The jinn are part of the creation of Allaah. He created them from fire before He created Adam, as Allaah says (interpretation of the meaning):
“And indeed, We created man from dried (sounding) clay of altered mud.And the jinn, We created aforetime from the smokeless flame of fire”
[al-Hijr 15:26-27]

Just as Adam had descendents, so Iblees had descendents too, as Allaah says of Iblees (interpretation of the meaning):
“Will you then take him (Iblees) and his offspring as protectors and helpers rather than Me while they are enemies to you? What an evil is the exchange for the Zaalimoon (polytheists, and wrongdoers, etc)”
[al-Kahf 18:50]

Allaah created the jinn and mankind to worship Him. Whoever obeys Him will enter Paradise and whoever disobeys Him will enter Hell:
“And I (Allaah) created not the jinn and mankind except that they should worship Me (Alone).I seek not any provision from them (i.e. provision for themselves or for My creatures) nor do I ask that they should feed Me (i.e. feed themselves or My creatures).Verily, Allaah is the All Provider, Owner of Power, the Most Strong”
[al-Dhaariyaat 51:56 – interpretation]

All of the jinn, like mankind, are accountable. Among them there are believers and kaafirs, those who obey Allaah and those who disobey Him, as Allaah tells us that they said:

“‘There are among us some that are righteous, and some the contrary; we are groups having different ways (religious sects)’”
[al-Jinn 72:11 – interpretation of the meaning]

The jinn will be rewarded or punished in the Hereafter just like mankind. Allaah tells us that they said:
“‘And of us some are Muslims (who have submitted to Allaah, after listening to this Qur’aan), and of us some are Al-Qaasitoon (disbelievers those who have deviated from the Right Path)’. And whosoever has embraced Islam (i.e. has become a Muslim by submitting to Allaah), then such have sought the Right Path.’
And as for the Qaasitoon (disbelievers who deviated from the Right Path), they shall be firewood for Hell”
[al-Jinn 72:14-15 – interpretation of the meaning]

The jinn and mankind will all be brought to account on the Day of Resurrection before the Lord of the Worlds. None of them will be able to postpone that or flee from it.
“O assembly of jinn and men! If you have power to pass beyond the zones of the heavens and the earth, then pass beyond (them)! But you will never be able to pass them, except with authority (from Allaah)!”
[al-Rahmaan 55:33 – interpretation of the meaning]

Whoever among the jinn or mankind tries to flee from the Reckoning will never be able to do so, as Allaah says (interpretation of the meaning):
“There will be sent against you both, smokeless flames of fire and (molten) brass, and you will not be able to defend yourselves
[al-Rahmaan 55:35]

When the Messenger (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) was in Makkah, a group of the jinn came to him; they heard the Qur’aan and were moved by it:

“And (remember) when We sent towards you (Muhammad) a group (three to ten persons) of the jinn, (quietly) listening to the Qur’aan. When they stood in the presence thereof, they said: “Listen in silence!” And when it was finished, they returned to their people, as warners”
[al-Ahqaaf 46:29 – interpretation of the meaning]

Some of the jinn believed when they heard the Qur’aan, as Allaah says (interpretation of the meaning):
“Say (O Muhammad): ‘It has been revealed to me that a group (from three to ten in number) of jinn listened (to this Qur’aan). They said: “Verily, we have heard a wonderful Recitation (this Qur’aan)!It guides to the Right Path, and we have believed therein, and we shall never join (in worship) anything with our Lord (Allaah)”’”
[al-Jinn 72:1-2]

Both Adam and Iblees fell into sin, but Adam regretted it and repented, and Allaah accepted his repentance:
“Then Adam received from his Lord Words. And his Lord pardoned him (accepted his repentance). Verily, He is the One Who forgives (accepts repentance), the Most Merciful”
[al-Baqarah 2:37 – interpretation of the meaning]


But Iblees refused and was arrogant, so he was one of the disbelievers:
“And (remember) when We said to the angels: ‘Prostrate yourselves before Adam.’ And they prostrated except Iblees (Satan), he refused and was proud and was one of the disbelievers (disobedient to Allaah)”
[al-Baqarah 2:34 – interpretation of the meaning]

Whoever disobeys Allaah out of pride and arrogance, among the jinn and mankind, is following the Shaytaan and will be gathered with him in the Fire of Hell if he does not repent, as Allaah said to Iblees:
“(Allaah) said: ‘The truth is — and the truth I sayThat I will fill Hell with you [Iblees (Satan)] and those of them (mankind) that follow you, together’”
[Saad 38:84-85 – interpretation of the meaning]

Islam is the best: Islam is the best: Shaytaan’s Enmity Towards Man

Is it permissible for men and women to perform prayer while wearing tight clothes?



In the Name of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful.
All praise and thanks are due to Allah, and peace and blessings be upon His Messenger

Indeed, covering the `Awrah (parts of the body which should be covered) for both men and women during prayer is not meant to ward off temptations because one may perform prayer alone without being seen by others. What is really meant by that injunction is to show politeness while standing in the presence of Allah Almighty, and to obey His order represented in the following verse: “ O Children of Adam! Look to your adornment at every place of worship…” (Al-A`raf: 31)

It is related from Umm Salamah that she asked the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him): ‘Can a woman pray in a long shirt (like a night shirt) and head-covering without a loincloth?’ He said: ‘If the shirt is long and flowing and covers the top of her feet.’” (Reported by Abu Dawud)

Thus, the clothes worn should properly cover the `Awrah. So if clothes are too tight-fitting, then they are not suitable for prayer.The clothes worn must cover the `Awrah, even if they are tight enough to highlight those features. If the clothes are so thin that one's skin color can be seen, they are not suitable for prayer.

Allah Almighty knows best.                                                                    Islam is the best
