Imam Muhammad Baqir says that Imam Ali once said: "There were two things in this world which softened the Wrath of Allah and prevented its descent upon man: One has been taken away from you; hold the other stead- fastly. The one which has been taken away from men is the Holy Prophet and the one which is still left with them and which they must hold steadfastly is repentance and atonement for sins because Allah at one place in the Holy Book addressed the Holy Prophet and said Allah would not punish them while you were among them nor while they were asking for forgiveness. (Surah Anfal, 8 : 33)

Sadaqa Al-Fitr. An obligatory sum that must be paid to the poor and needy, by every Muslim, once a year, before Eid-Ul-Fitr.

For a young person who doesn't have enough money it should be paid by their parent or gurdian.

It was made obligatory before Zakat was.

It's payable to the poor and needy. This can include blood relatives (but not partners, parents, grandparents, children ot grand children)

The amount payable is 2045g of wheat or 4090g of dates or barley. It's more appropriate to give the money equivalent as it's more useful to the poor and needy.

Interesting fact I learned today.

While fasting you can go swimming (but only if you're a confident swimmer and know the water will not reach your throat)

How cool is that.....??

...I look like this:

Just a friendly warning. 



Stay away.

Teacher: What are you drawing?

Child: A picture of God.

Teacher: No one knows what God looks like.

Child: They will in a minute.

Doing the right thing for the wrong reason is like not having done it at all.

Allah's Apostle said, "The reward of deeds depends upon the intention and every person will get the reward according to what he has intended. So whoever emigrated for Allah and His Apostle, then his emigration was for Allah and His Apostle. And whoever emigrated for worldly benefits or for a woman to marry, his emigration was for what he emigrated for."

(Bukhari Volume 1, Book 2, Number 52)

Ash-Shaafi’ee, may Allaah have mercy on him, said: “Had Allaah not sent down aproof to His creation other than this surah (chapter), it would have been sufficient for them.”Al-Bukhaaree, may Allaah have mercy on him, said: “Chapter: Knowledge comesbefore speech and action.”The proof for this is Allaah’s saying:

So know that there is no deity worthy of worship except Allaah, and seekforgiveness for your sins.”

[Surah Muhammad: 19] So He began by mentioningknowledge before speech and action.
 

The prophet Muhammad ﷺ said:

"I and the person who looks after an orphan and provides for him, will be in Paradise like this"

and so i decided to learn to make eggless cake and to generally be more careful with my usage of eggs.

coz free range isnt cheap.

but it isnt about the price. its abt the fact that because eggs became so cheap (with disastrous consequences and effects) we have become ungrateful of eggs and use too much (bit like milk but thats another story coz im addicted to milk) and dont even think about our consumption.

In the Name of Allaah, the Most Merciful, the Bestower of Mercy.Know, may Allaah have mercy on you, that we are obligated to learn four matters:
First:
Knowledge, which means: awareness of Allaah, awareness of His Prophet, andawareness of the Religion of Islaam, based on evidences.
Second:
Acting on this.
Third:
Calling to it.
Fourth:
Patience with the harm that befalls due to it.The proof for this is Allaah’s saying:
“In the Name of Allaah, the Most Merciful, the Bestower of Mercy. By the time!Verily mankind is at loss – except for those who believe and perform righteousdeeds, and advise one another towards the truth and advise one another towards patience.”
[Surah Al-‘A
