How was your Eid? I hope you enjoyed yours. Alhamdulillah I did, very much. Shout-out to my dad for being very patient and for making Eid very fun! For the months of September and October I have been and will be reading inshallah 'The Exile' by Allan Folsom, the author of The Day After Tomorrow, which I have read and greatly enjoyed. I have had this book, The Exile, for about two months I think (I'm borrowing it from a sister) and it has been taking me so long to read it for some reason. I hope to be finished with it by the end of October inshallah, so I can give it back!
As salamu alikum and hello everyone!

As salamu alikum and hello everyone! Have a good Friday inshallah! Allah informs us that it is not allowed to follow anything without knowledge. He says:
“And follow not, (O man i.e. do not say, act or witness) that of which you have no knowledge. Verily! The hearing, and the sight and the heart of each of those ones will be questioned.” [Al-Israa (17):36] And He also warns us not to speak about Him without knowledge: “…and saying things about Allah of which you have no knowledge.” [Al-A’araaf (7):33] In the above Ayah, Allah is telling us that He has forbidden Muslims to speak about Him without knowledge, and lying upon Allah is one way of doing this. The one who lies about Allah is not only guilty of speaking about Him without knowledge, but also he is amongst the most oppressive of people as Allah Himself describes: “And who is more oppressive than he who lies against Allah, or who denies His signs…” Besides that, He, the Wise, also describes the punishment, on the Day of Judgment, for anyone who involves themselves in this dangerous practice, thus: “And you will see on the Day of Judgment, those who lie upon Allah, their faces blackened.” [Az-Zumar (39): 60] Many Muslims would tell you that stealing, bribery, killing, adultery etc. are all prohibited (Haram) acts. However, when it comes to lying upon Allah and/ or His Messenger they are not even aware that such a sin exists, and so they would indulge in it freely without worry. This complacency among Muslims regarding this sin comes about because of the great ignorance that prevails concerning 1) the rights of Allah and His Messenger and 2) the serious punishment that results from indulging in sin. This complacent attitude, coupled with ignorance, has been the main factors for the majority of the deviations and differences found in Islam. As salamu alikum and hello! Sorry about not posting last Friday, it was totally crazy that day. Hope this post is beneficial to you. Describing Allah without proof from the Quran or authentic Sunnah
For example, describing Allah (subhanahu wa ta’ala) as being everywhere is a serious misconception of which many Muslims are guilty. The Quran and authentic Sunnah are both replete with proofs which show that Allah (subhanahu wa ta’ala) is above and beyond His creation, and not a part of it, as the statement that ‘He, is everywhere’ necessitates. The following Hadeeth clearly indicate this. Mu’aawiyah bin Al-Hakim said: “I had a servant girl who used to tend to my sheep in the area of Mount Uhud, near a place called Al-Jawwaareeyah. One day I came to see them only to find that a wolf had made off with a sheep from her flock. Since, I, like the rest of Adam’s descendants, am prone to do regrettable acts, I gave her a terrible slap in the face. When I came to Allah’s Messenger with the story, he considered it a grave thing for me to have done. I said: ‘O Messenger of Allah couldn’t I free her?’ He replied: “Bring her to me.” So I brought her. He then asked her, “Where is Allah?” And she replied: “Above the sky.” Then he asked her: “Who am I?” She replied: “You are Allah’s Messenger.” So he said: “Free her; for she is a believer.” It must be noted that one of the duties of the Messenger was to correct any mistakes anyone committed in this religion (Deen). His silence after asking her, “Where is Allah?” and she replied “Above the sky”, is an indication that her answer is correct. His affirming that she is a believer, at the end of the Hadeeth, is the direct proof that her answers were correct, otherwise he would be lying, and we seek refuge with Allah (subhanahu wa ta’ala) for even thinking that lying is possible from the Messenger (sallallahu 'alayhi wassallam). What should be noted, is the fact that the first question he asked her was: ‘Where is Allah?’ and not if she believed in Him, the Most High. Since the question was: ‘Where is Allah?’ great importance and attention must be given to the fact that, since he accepted that Allah (subhanahu wa ta’ala) is above the skies as the correct answer, that this direct proof that this the correct view on the question. As salamu alikum and hello!
During and after Ramadan, I started posting parts of a book called Guarding the Tongue that I was reading. Since I have come towards the end of the book, I decided that I will post a little bit of the rest of the book every Friday inshallah. Today, I have started with the beginning of Appendix A, and will continue with it until I have reached the end of the book. I hope that these posts will benefit whoever reads them, as they benefited me. As salamu alikum and hello everyone!
My deepest apologies for not posting this sooner. This is the last chapter of the book but there are three appendixes with lots more information that I have decided inshallah to just post them on Fridays. So, lets get on with it! I have this book, Guarding the Tongue, from the book Al-Adhkaar. It is the 4th book of The Golden Advice Series from DARUSSALAM PUBLICATIONS, that I have been reading during Ramadan besides the Quran and any other Islamic books inshallah. My idea is to post a little from the book that I learned and I want to share, from each chapter each week inshallah. There are four chapters along with three appendixes, so there should be plenty of things to share about inshallah. The chapter this week is: Expiating Oneself and Repenting From Backbiting As salamu alikum and hello everyone!

Ramadan Mubarak!! I started to try making a blog post on my phone and just isn't the same as making a blog post on my laptop. It is easier to add pictures to the post from my phone though, which is really nice. But I had to come back to my laptop to finish this post because it is easier. Chapter 2 is a bit longer than Chapter 1 so I am going to separate it into two posts, for easier reading on the eyes. I have this book, Guarding the Tongue, from the book Al-Adhkaar.

"Guard your tongue O mankind Crochet Project: Colorful Flower Necklace and Book of the Week: Spy Girl: Once Upon a Crime11/5/2015 As Salamu Alikum and 'ello everyone!
I am just about finished with my full skeins of yarn (eek!!) and I have a lot of random scraps. Since I was finished with some yarn I got recently for a project I am working on, I wanted to make another necklace because they don’t take that much yarn to make. I found this lovely pattern from a blog called Chabe GS. I made a few differences because of the amount of materials I had. |
