حديث

الحلال بين و الحرام بين
و بينهما أمور مشتبهات لا يعلمها كثير من الناس

فمن اتقى الشبهات...
فقد استعرض او استحفظ عرضه و دينه

كالراعي يرعى حول الحمى
~•~
📖 Al-Nu’man Ibn Bashir RadhiAllahu anhu narrated: Allah's noble Messenger Muhammad SallAllahu alaihi wa sallam said, "Verily, the lawful (halal) is clear and the unlawful (haraam) is clear, and between the two of them are doubtful matters about which many people do not know. Thus, he who avoids the doubtful matters safeguards himself in regard to his religion and his honor, and he who falls into the doubtful (questionable, unclear) matters will fall into the unlawful as the shepherd who pastures near a sanctuary, all but grazing therein. Verily, every king has a sanctum and the sanctum of Allah is His prohibitions. Verily, in the body is a piece of flesh which, if sound, the entire body is sound, and if it is corrupt, the entire body is corrupt. Truly, it is the heart."

قال الله سبحانه و تعالى:
{ فَوَسۡوَسَ إِلَیۡهِ ٱلشَّیۡطَـٰنُ قَالَ یَـٰۤـَٔادَمُ هَلۡ أَدُلُّكَ عَلَىٰ شَجَرَةِ ٱلۡخُلۡدِ وَمُلۡكࣲ لَّا یَبۡلَىٰ }

[Surah Ṭā-Hā: 120-121]

{ فَأَكَلَا مِنۡهَا فَبَدَتۡ لَهُمَا سَوۡءَ ٰ⁠ تُهُمَا وَطَفِقَا یَخۡصِفَانِ عَلَیۡهِمَا مِن وَرَقِ ٱلۡجَنَّةِۚ وَعَصَىٰۤ ءَادَمُ رَبَّهُۥ فَغَوَىٰ }

The man will say: 'I fought in Your Cause until I was martyred.' Allah will say: 'You have lied, for you fought only that it would be said you were brave, and thus it was said.' Then, Allah will order him to be dragged upon his face until he is cast into Hellfire. Another man studied religious knowledge, taught others, and recited the Qur'an. He will be brought, the blessings of Allah will be made known and he will acknowledge them. Allah will say: 'What did you do about them?' The man will say: I learned religious knowledge, taught others, and I recited the Qur'an for Your sake. Allah will say: 'You have lied, for you studied only that it would be said you are a scholar and you recited the Qur'an only that it would be said you are a reciter, and thus it was said.' Then, Allah will order him to be dragged upon his face until he is cast into Hellfire. Another man was given an abundance of blessings from Allah and every kind of wealth. He will be brought, the blessings of Allah will be made known and he will acknowledge them. Allah will say: 'What did you do about them?' The man will say: 'I did not leave any good cause beloved to You but that I spent on it for Your sake.' Allah will say: 'You have lied, for you spent only that it would be said you are generous, and thus it was said.' Then, Allah will order him to be dragged upon his face until he is cast into Hellfire."

Poem: Valentine's Day Is Something I Do Not Celebrate

💐 In The Name Of Allah The Most Gracious The Most Merciful
🗒️ "What do you do to prove your love on valentine's day? 
On Feb. fourteen of each year, how is your love displayed? 
How would you treat your soulmate who's been out for some days?"
If I were asked those questions I'd confidently state: 
Valentine's day is a joke which I don't celebrate.
~•~
Valentine's day? What's that? A time when clowns fornicate,
Take pride in acting romantic and lies are displayed, 
Since their so-called love is not lawful in any way? 
When pink, white and red become widespread, while heart-shaped cakes 
Are in demand as if it's the red demon's birthday? 
~•~
When different couples walk hand in hand, straight or gay, 
Crowding most malls, parks, resorts, cinemas and cafes, 
As if praising zina is the theme of their parade? 
I'd rather stay in, if I can, on valentine's day, 
And abstain from witnessing falsehood which Allah hates.
~•~
Mistakes and ignorance I don't wish to imitate. 
Whenever I despise something, I gladly don't pay 
Attention to it. To me, so-called valentine's day 
Is like a dry twig of a tree that's been painted gray 
And placed among large elephants, vague from far away. 
~•~
I don't need to spoil my spouse on this regular day 
Nor surprise him with pricey gifts and a special date. 
From the ways I indicate true love is when his name 
Is mentioned a lot in loving Du'as night and day, 
And I ensure my love is purely for Allah's sake.

Poem: Why I'm Fully Contented With Not Spying On My Husband's Cellphones

💐 In The Name Of Allah The Most Gracious The Most Merciful 

💌 If I were told, "That's weird, why won't you regularly 
Check on your husband's phones to ensure he never cheats? 
The more handsome he is, charismatic or wealthy, 
The smarter or more successful he is seemingly, 
The more likely he'll attract females who are flirty.
~•~
It's your right to spy on his cellphones. Don't be naive!" 
My response would be: So you're saying he's like candy? 
He is my one and only sweet, he belongs to me, 
Nobody can flirt with him, whoso audaciously
Attempts to contact him should earn my consent firstly? 
~•~
Do you suggest that I treat him like he's a fluffy 
Pet on a tight leash and I prevent him from freely
Moving about? Like he's meant to be enslaved by me? 
Do you expect my spouse to feel respected if he 
Sees that I suspect him and deem him untrustworthy?
~•~
Do you suppose he'll enjoy it if I constantly
Checked what he's up to on his phones like he's a baby 
Who should avoid vids which are not family-friendly?
I doubt it. My life goal isn't to make sure that he 
Never falls into strange women's traps and treachery. 
~•~
He's my husband, my other half and travel buddy 
To Jannah Paradise. He is not my enemy 
Whose moves I must scrutinize and spy on frequently. 
He's my friend. I pray that Allah guides my spouse to be 
Trustworthy and eager to improve in piety.
~•~
If ever he's guilty of misconduct, I believe
That my husband is smart enough to reform while he 
Is a human being like me, and he is worthy 
Of my ability to forgive him eagerly. 
shaytan mustn't succeed in spoiling this blessed journey.
~•~
I won't disrespect my husband's need for privacy. 
Even if he grants me full permissibility
To use his gadgets, I'd find it unnecessary
To inspect their contents since doing so would mostly
Invite drama and fitna which I don't want near me.
~•~
Alhamdulillah. I'm okay with polygyny. 
I'd rather continue loving my spouse patiently
While he cares for many wives and a big family 
Than leave him for another guy who can't guarantee
That he'll never get tempted by shaytan's trickery.

Note: Five Reasons Why I Choose Not To Spy On My Husband's Cellphones

💐 In The Name Of Allah The Most Gracious The Most Merciful 
💌 Five reasons why I choose not to spy on my dear husband's cellphones even if he leaves them unattended at times and lets me know I can use them anytime I like: 
1] I trust Allah the Almighty and believe that He Subhaanahu wa Ta'aala will be the One to deal with His servants in the way that He knows is most just. I wasn't born to monitor and scrutinize every one of my husband's moves. 
2] Out of respect for my dear husband, I want him to sense that I perceive him as trustworthy just as I would love it if he viewed me as loyal and dependable. If I wouldn't enjoy being frequently interrogated by him concerning who I'm communicating with whenever he notices me using the cellphone, why would I do that to him? If I don't want my husband and I constantly suspecting each other, why would I bother snooping around his personal belongings as if I can't trust him at all? 
It's usually a sign of disrespect if you make it obvious to somebody that you regard them as absolutely unreliable.
3] I already know that some of my husband's patients, colleagues and acquaintances are females who may try to contact him now and then. Regardless of the reasons behind their attempts to reach out, I believe that Allah Subhaanahu wa Ta'aala will be the One to wisely deal with them and my husband regarding their intentions and decisions. My husband is already adult enough to distinguish between right and wrong, so I don't need to keep supervising him as if I'm playing the role of a terrifyingly strict and overbearing grandma. 
4] Since I'm an introvert (INTJ 1w9) who's very selective with regard to who I pay attention to and what sort of content I willingly absorb online and offline, I do what I can to avoid peeking on my husband's cellphones to stay away from potential drama, wasting valuable energy browsing around incomprehensible data, and the urge to interrogate my beloved husband as if he's an undisciplined child guilty of pickpocketing.
5] I prefer to focus on my husband's good side and appreciate his commendable qualities than to recall his mistakes and worry about the things he could be doing incorrectly. This is one of those few circumstances in which "ignorance is bliss" can become applicable. To maintain inner contentment and peace of mind, you don't need to be aware of every single detail which your husband has done in the past and present. If your husband truly strives to worship Only Allah Subhaanahu wa Ta'aala, his firm faith/Imaan and Taqwa can 
Inn-sha-Allah prevent him from carrying out regrettable acts in the future. 
If on the contrary he gets caught at one point doing something which most women would find offensive, instead of instantly demanding a divorce, muster up the courage to discuss the issue with fairness, clarity and logic, and intelligently come up with a solution which you believe can 
Inn-sha-Allah bring you and your other half closer to Allah's Love, even if the ultimate decision is for you to patiently continue loving your husband for Allah's sake while he legally remarries after agreeing that he'll try his best to treat his multiple wives as fairly as possible.

Tips: Checklist To Determine How Trustworthy You Can Be

💐 In The Name Of Allah The Most Gracious The Most Merciful 

📝 Checklist to determine how trustworthy you actually are or strive to be: 
1] You're generally not greedy nor self-entitled. When you notice there are several items being distributed for free, you don't excitedly go after them nor do you feel so upset if you couldn't receive those freebies. You are contented with the blessings which Allah Subhaanahu wa Ta'aala chose to grant you and at times you believe that others may require certain things a lot more than you do. [    ]
2] When you have a surplus of something, you're willing to share some of it with a number of your loved ones instead of keeping it all selfishly to yourself. And when sharing, you do so only to please Allah Subhaanahu wa Ta'aala, not wanting anything specific in return from Allah's servants. [    ] 
3] You try your best to make sure that whenever you borrow an amount of money or any item from someone, you return it in its good condition and as promptly as you can, rather than intentionally delaying it or acting as if you forgot about it. Having debts is something you're trying to avoid. [    ]
4] You intensely despise gossip and refrain from backbiting about others as much as possible. Making sarcastic jokes at the expense of another Muslim and human being is something you also don't enjoy. [    ] 
5] You're not afraid or too prideful to directly apologize when you are aware that you did something wrong or unfair. [    ] 
6] You dislike wasting time socializing with individuals who have proven to be untruthful and untrustworthy. Once you discover someone's true colors or deceitfulness, you readily dissociate yourself from their negative vibes and atrocious lies. [    ] 
7] You'd rather give frank and constructive feedback, regardless of people's emotions, when asked for your opinions than to sugarcoat your words or pretend to fancy something which you don't really find appealing. [    ]

📖 Abdullah Ibn Mas'ud RadhiAllahu 'anhu narrated: Allah's noble Messenger Muhammad SallAllahu 'alaihi wa sallam said, "You must be truthful. Verily, truthfulness leads to righteousness and righteousness leads to Paradise. A man continues to be truthful and encourages honesty until he is recorded with Allah as a truthful person. And beware of falsehood. Verily, falsehood leads to wickedness and wickedness leads to the Hellfire. A man continues to tell lies and encourages falsehood until he is recorded with Allah as a liar."
