Qualities of the People of Taqwaa

stonesscene

When Allah created His creation, He did so while He was completely independent of their obedience towards Him and of their disobedience towards Him. No disobedience can hurt Him and no obedience can benefit Him. Then He distributed amongst them (the creation) their means of sustenance and placed them on earth. The people of taqwaa (those who are conscious of and fear Allah) on earth are those of virtue: their speech is correct (true); their garments are of moderate nature and their walk is one of humility. They lower their gaze when they see something that Allah has forbidden them to see and they give ear to beneficial knowledge. They maintain their integrity in both adversity and prosperity.

Written by Bintussabeel

Many a pen has moved in the early hours of the morning and the late hours of the night, as philosophers, thinkers and writers exercised their minds, thoughts and emotions in trying to uncover the fine - yet apparent - realities of this finite and temporal world of existence. Many were so misguided that they even wondered and grappled with the idea of whether a Creator even existed, and others took it to the next step and wondered if God existed then what were His characteristics and what meaning would His characteristics hold for the human being?

For forty years, the Adhan was never called but Sa`id bin al-Musayyab radhiallahu `anhu was in the mosque before it was called. [Tabaqat al Hanabilah 1/141, Hilyat al Awliya 2/163, Sifat as Safwah 2/80]

Umar became unconscious after he was stabbed, and according to Al Miswar bin Makhramah, it was said: "Nothing would wake him up except the call to prayer, if he is still alive." They said to him, "The prayer has finished, O Chief of the Faithful!" He woke up and said,

"The prayer, by Allah! Verily, there is no share in Islam for whoever abandons the prayer."

tabarruj

The one who disobeys Allaah and His Messenger (sall-Allaahu ‘alayhi wa sallam) can only harm himself and can not in any way harm Allaah. The Messenger (sall-Allaahu ‘alayhi wa sallam) said: “All of my followers will enter Paradise except those who refuse.” It was asked: “O Messenger of Allaah, who would refuse?” He (sall-Allaahu ‘alayhi wa sallam) said: “He who obeys me enters Paradise and he who disobeys me has refused.” (Reported by al-Bukhaaree) Read more...

Jilbaab & the Muslim Woman's Identity

The sources in Islamic law are primarily the Qur’aan and Sunnah[1]. The Qur’an, the book held sacred by Muslims, con tains approximately 500 verses dealing with diverse topics which are of a legal relevance. The Sunnah represents the repository of reports of sayings, acts and consent of the Prophet Muhammad (sallallahu `alayhi wa sallam). The role of the Sunnah is seen as an elaboration of the Quranic injunctions. There are other sources which derive from the two primary sources and they are the Ijmaa’ (legal consensus), Qiyaas (analogical deduction) and other disputed sources but they arjilbaabe not relevant to the discussion at hand. Islamic law is comprehensive in its enunciation of a code of conduct with respect to an individual’s life and dealings with others. Read more...

Respect for Niqaab

niqaab

There is a lot of debate among Muslims as to whether or not it is required for a Muslim woman to cover her face and hands in addition to the rest of her body when appearing in public or in front of non-Mahram [i.e. men who is not a close-relative, to whom marriage is allowed] men. The purpose of this article is not to fall on either side of that debate, but to urg e all Muslims to show respect for sisters who have chosen to wear either the khimaar (head-cover which covers the hair, ears, neck and chest properly) or the niqaab (face-veil.) Some Muslims give these sisters a hard time, saying that they are doing above and beyond what has been commanded by Allah (Subhaanahu wa ta'ala), and that the "extreme" appearance of these fully-veiled women projects a bad image to the non-Muslims who already view the Muslim woman as weak and oppressed.
