Launch of an exciting new website

posted by Mahd-ul-Huda on 3rd October 2012 - 0 comments
AssalamuAlaikum dearest readers... I am pleased to announce the launch of a new website for your Q&A services. Mufti Ismail Moosa of South Africa is an up and coming Hanafi, Deobandi scholar, who has studied under various Shuyukh across the globe. He has taken the initiative to start this online service under the direct guidance and strong encouragement of his spiritual guide, Hazrat Maulana Zulfiqar Ahmed Naqshbandi (DB) and his esteemed teacher, Hazrat Mufti Ebrahim Desai Saheb (DB). Please promote this online service among you family and friends. With the uproar of Islamic websites it is hard to sift the authentic from the non-authentic, and the right from the wrong. Hence it is of utmost importance that we are careful about which sites we take islamic knowledge from. Muhammad Ibn Seereen said: "Certainly this knowledge (of Islam) is Religion (creed/way of life), so be careful of who you take you religion from." (Muqaddamah Saheeh Muslim, Vol.1, pg. 14) With www.fatwaa.com Mufti Ismail Moosa seeks to provide authentic answers to all your islamic and personal queries, with proof from Qur'an and Hadith and fiqh texts, according to the ways of Ahl-e-Sunnah-Wal-jamaa'ah inshaAllah.

The 1 Cent Coin

posted by Mahd-ul-Huda on 11th December 2011 - 0 comments
[b][i][colour=purple]By Hazrat Maulana Yunus Patel Saheb (رَحْمَةُ اللهِ عَلَيْهِ)[/b][/i][/colour] Once, when taking a walk through a park, with some friends, we came across a fountain, wherein were numerous 1 cent and 2 cent coins. On noticing this, it came to mind, that since the 1 cent coin and the 2 cent coin have negligible value – in fact, no worth or value is really given to these coins – they are generally discarded in a fountain, after some ‘wish’ is made. …And if the wish is such, that it would definitely be accomplished with money, then a mere 1 cent or 2 cents would not suffice for the fulfilment of the grand wishes of those who throw with any such hope… Nevertheless, I presented this analogy to my companions:

Mirror Reflections

posted by Mahd-ul-Huda on 18th October 2011 - 0 comments
[size=2][colour=purple]By Hazrat Maulana Yunus Patel Saheb (رَحْمَةُ اللهِ عَلَيْهِ)[/size][/colour] It is said : [colour=lightblue]”The room in which there is no mirror, is worse than a prison-cell for a woman”. …Of course, the same can be said about many, many men, who spend hours in front of the mirror for the sole purpose of beautification.[/colour] This statement is to give us an idea as to how often a person looks into the mirror; so much so, that one will say that the mirror is indispensable. …To look into a mirror, comb one’s hair, etc. is not Haraam (forbidden). In fact, to do so is the Sunnah of Nabi (sallallahu 'alayhi wasallam). We will also find in the duas of Nabi (sallallahu 'alayhi wasallam), the dua when looking into a mirror: [b][size=3]اللّٰهُمَّ أَنْتَ حَسَّنْتَ خَلْقِىْ فَحَسِّنْ خُلُقِىْ “O Allah, You have beautified my features, so beautify my character as well.”[/b][/colour]

posted by Mahd-ul-Huda on 15th October 2011 - 0 comments
AssalamuAlaikum wr wb. Register for a free online class conducted weekly via WizIQ.com and educate yourself about the beautiful Zaahiri (of the body) and Batinee (of the heart) sunnahs of our Beloved Master Muhammad (sallallahu 'alayhi wasallam). We read from the book and discuss every hadeeth in a manner that inspires us to make instill these habits in ourselves and develop praise-worthy character inshaAllah. Brief synopsis: ‘When an unfulfilled lover is deprived of meeting the beloved then he stands in front of the beloved’s house remembering the features of his beloved, in an attempt to gain some solace. It is from the habits and features the heart is appeased’. This course is designed for you to achieve a link and connection with the one whom Allah Ta’aala has sent as a mercy unto mankind. Imam At-Tirmidhi’s priceless collection of hadith on the description of Prophet Muhammad (saw). ‘Ash-Shamaa-il Muhammadiyyah’ is based solely on authentic work of hadith and Seerat - Life of the Prophet (saw) and is also known as Shamaa-il Tirmidhi. The great Imam believed that each chapter of this collection was actually a step by step journey to meet the beloved Rasul-Allah (saw) in spirit. This spiritual journey through the fifty five chapters of Shamaa-il Tirmidhi has been the subject of over one hundred commentaries. Ustadha Zakiyya will be conducting her lessons using the famous commentary of Sheikhul Hadith Maulana Muhammad Zakariyya Kandhelwi (rahimahumullah), entitled Khasaa-il Nabawi sallallahu ‘alayhi wasallam. It has translated into English by Muhammad ibn Abdurrahman Ebrahim.

Changing Negative Thoughts Into Positivity

posted by Mahd-ul-Huda on 28th September 2011 - 1 comment
[b][colour=blue]How To Change Negativity By Using Appreciation and Gratitude[/b][/colour] When we begin to understand the importance of our thoughts and just how destructive and creative they can be in our lives, we begin a lifelong journey of thought examination. What is the nature of the seeds being planted and what kind of fruit will this plant deliver when it attracts to itself what is like itself. All you have to do to understand the nature of the seeds which have been sown, is to look at what you are experiencing in your life. Good seed - wonderful, joyous experiences Poor seed - pain, disappointment, anger, conflict When you get tired of all the drama in your life, you begin to look for different answers. Controlling the monkey talk in your head is certainly one of the most important things you can begin to do.

A Love letter from A Muslim Man to the Girl He loves

posted by Mahd-ul-Huda on 28th September 2011 - 5 comments
[colour=lightpink]If you love me, don’t confess your love to me, this won’t please me and will keep me away! Love words don’t attract me. If you love me, wait for me and I will knock on your door in the right time. Don’t give me privileges which I don’t deserve. Keep me away from you, and I will approach you. If you approach me, I will stay away from you. Don’t love me, for I want you ignorant in love. I want to teach you love when the right time come and you will be my Halal, only when we are joined together under our Creator’s satisfaction. Don’t tell me what you feel, don’t give me from your time, don’t push me to lose you. I am a man who won’t accept to see the one he loves committing sins or to live a forbidden love behind the back of her family.

The greatest illusion of dress...

posted by Mahd-ul-Huda on 24th September 2011 - 0 comments
[colour=lightblue]The greatest illusion of dress, Deception at its very best, Clothing so tight its completely revealing, Defeating the purpose of concealing. The man seems to be proud, Standing next to the woman, so bold and loud. Her body is there for everyone to see, Yet covered up she believes herself to be.
