Note: Regarding Not Completing The Sunnah Fasting Of The White Days (Ayyaam Al-Beedh)

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

📜 Question: While I fasted two days from the Sunnah fasting of ayyaam al-beedh (the three white days, 13th, 14th and 15th of each month), I did not fast on the third day due to some circumstances. Will I still receive rewards for the two days I fasted?

📝 Answer: Three is no doubt that you will (Inn-sha-Allah) be rewarded for them if you sincerely fasted those days for Allah's sake, not intending riyaa (to show off or impress others) nor sum'ah (to be heard that you did some righteous actions). 

Allah the Almighty says, "Whoever comes (to Allah) with a good deed will be rewarded tenfold." [Surah Al-An'aam verse 160] 

(There are other Ahadith/narrations regarding how a Muslim is rewarded for the good deeds they do to please Allah Subhaanahu wa Ta'aala.)

From the Fataawa of sheikh AbdulAziz Ibn Baz (May Allah have mercy on him. Ameen.)

📖 Ibn Abbas RadhiAllahu 'anhuma narrated: Allah's noble Messenger Muhammad SallAllahu 'alaihi wa sallam said, "Verily, Allah has recorded good and evil deeds and He made them clear. Whoever intends to perform a good deed but does not do it, Allah will record it as a complete good deed. If he intends to do it and does so, Allah the Almighty will record it as ten good deeds, up to seven hundred times as much or even more. If he intends to do an evil deed and does not do it, Allah will record for him one complete good deed. If he does it, Allah will record for him a single evil deed."

Note: Patiently Persevere For Allah's Sake As Your Husband's Loyal Wife

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

💌 If you're a wife who's been married for at least a year now, you may have noticed that your husband occasionally shows he doesn't 24/7 make you his top priority. Because of his human flaws and personal necessities, sometimes he behaves like a gigantic baby when he prefers to sleep all day instead of going out with you on a memorable date, or his concentration on the latest news seems a lot more focused than when he chats with you, or he seems more in love with playing games or sports like basketball than spending romantic moments beside you exchanging hugs and sweet cuddles. Other times you wonder if you're the one he married or he technically proposed to his office, car or electronic gadgets a long time ago. AstaghfurAllah Al-'Atheem. As a Muslim wife Alhamdulillah who loves your husband for Allah's sake, the man whom Allah the Most Wise chose to be your other half because He knows that there are many similarities between you and your spouse along with all the shared experiences to which you both relate, you must expect that not everything in marriage life can go perfectly always. When situations get tough and blood temperatures often raise, one of you should be strong enough to stay patient and from needless drama walk away. After talking out your concerns and marital problems to Allah the Almighty, embrace patience for Allah and gain plenty of rewards by honoring your significant other with unconditional love fortified by steadfast loyalty. The rewards of the patient believers are never wasted. Never give up loving your husband for his inability to watch over you every second nor disconnect a blissful union because of a temporary problem. At all times rely on Allah the Most Wise. Remain as your husband's faithful wife not because you're weak and submissive, but because you're a strongly determined Muslimah who can fight off your selfish desires (without overlooking your own rights) and you believe that the ephemeral joys of this world can never be compared to the eternal bliss of Jannah Paradise.

📖 Abu Huraira RadhiAllahu 'anhu narrated: Allah's noble Messenger Muhammad SallAllahu 'alaihi wa sallam said, "If a woman prays her five prayers, fasts her month of Ramadan, guards her chastity, and obeys her husband, she will enter Paradise from any gate she wishes."

Ali Al-Qari said, "That she prostrates to her husband is due to the number of his rights over her and her difficulty in maintaining gratitude for them. This rhetorical point conveys the obligation of the wife to obey her husband in his rights. Indeed, prostration is not lawful to anyone other than Allah Subhaanahu wa Ta'aala."

Note: In Islam There's No Need To Wear Engagement Or Wedding Rings

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

📜 Question: Is wearing a ring for the women a bid'ah that is derived from Christian customs? Because I have read that the wedding ring or engagement ring is just for the man even if it is made from silver. Is this correct?

📝 Answer: The ring which the questioner is asking about we do not know of any basis for it (in Islam). And it appears to us that wearing such a ring (to display that one is married or engaged) is similar to resembling some unbelievers, as it is from their customs, according to what we were informed. Thus it is better to not take it as your own practice. What signals (or indicates) marriage is through official engagement and formal agreement between the one proposing and the proposed, and that is sufficient without requiring any special ring. And once the marital rites have been sealed or finalized, all matters have been accomplished, so there is no need for a wedding or engagement ring (to prove one's marital status), specially if this is one way of imitating the practices of the enemies of Allah the Almighty. It is imperative to avoid copying the misguided ways of those who oppose Allah Subhaanahu wa Ta'aala as much as possible.

Poem: The Importance Of Having The Correct 'Aqeedah And Belief In Allah The Almighty

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

💌 Imagine a scenario where you must reach the top 

Of a tall mountain without a single slip or drop, 

Which of these methods would you pick so you can go up: 

Grappling hook and incomplete tools in a climber's pack, 

Feeble ladder or safe staircase made of steel and rocks?

~•~

Surely a clever person would choose the safest route, 

One which can assure they won't get injured or confused.

As Muslims, it is crucial that we carefully choose 

The right scholars to learn from and reliable books 

To ensure our faith in Allah is stable and true.

~•~

Just as you won't tread a path that leads to a dead end 

And you avoid absorbing bad vibes of toxic friends, 

It's important that what you read of online content, 

Islamic notes, and lectures you listen to often 

Lead to Allah and His Prophet's Sunnah/tradition (SallAllahu 'alaihi wa sallam).

~•~

Without the right 'Aqeedah, some who claim to believe 

Perform acts of worship wrongly and ignorantly. 

Some commit sorcery, others call on the deceased, 

Some do birthdays, others legalize adultery 

Through brief "marriage", while others approach shirk clumsily.

~•~

To detect who's on the right track regarding our Deen, 

Search for those who strive to obey Allah correctly, 

Striving to follow Prophet Muhammad (SallAllahu 'alaihi wa sallam) sincerely, 

Maintaining good manners to their best ability, 

And they teach what they've learned, unafraid of mockery.

~•~

📖 Malik RadhiAllahu 'anhu narrated: Allah's noble Messenger Muhammad SallAllahu 'alaihi wa sallam said, "I have left you with two matters which will never lead you astray, as long as you hold on to them: The Book of Allah and the Sunnah of His Prophet (Muhammad SallAllahu 'alaihi wa sallam)."

Verily, the children of Israel split into seventy-two sects and my nation will split into seventy-three sects. All of them will be in Hellfire except for one sect." They said, “Who are they, O Messenger of Allah?” The Prophet SallAllahu 'alaihi wa sallam said, "Those who follow my way and my companions."

Poem: Signs Of An "INTJ Door Slam" Or You Have Completely Moved On

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

💌 Signs you, as an INTJ, "door slammed" someone or 

You've moved on from those with whom you're not friends anymore, 

Not because of arrogance but you simply abhor 

Toxic vibes, obvious lies, being purposely ignored 

And mistreated by mean species that think you're a bore:

~•~

One: If ever you look back to sweet things you both did, 

You don't weep with nostalgia, can't shed tears with regret, 

And you're unable to miss them, not even one bit, 

When you recall reconnecting won't bring benefit,

As they seem narcissistic or they're unsupportive.

~•~

Two: Though you have the chance to sign up for fake accounts 

To stalk their Facebook timelines or posts they left around, 

You don't bother stalking them and scrutinizing how 

They're doing without you, if they're regretful or proud. 

From visiting past nightmares yourself you disallow.

~•~

Three: If some friends or colleagues mention their names to you, 

You don't go, "I knew them. I miss what we used to do. 

Tell them I said 'hi'. I wonder, do they miss me too?" 

But you resolutely, with unconcerned attitude, 

Choose to keep quiet about mistakes you must eschew.

~•~

Four: If you woke up from a dream you want analyzed, 

If there are special events you wish to organize, 

If significant incidents gradually arise 

And you like to seek advice from those whom you admire, 

You don't refer to ex-friends, no contact nor invites.

~•~

Five: In case you meet them one day, with Allah's Decree, 

At a social event, while shopping, or in the streets, 

You don't go out of your way to greet, "Did you miss me?" 

But rather you exchange salaams out of courtesy, 

Then proceed to detach from artificiality.

~•~

As an INTJ who's no longer close to some, 

You don't see them as enemies whom you plot against. 

Mentioning them kindly in Du'as or discussions 

And caring for their well-being are no longer done. 

You're not arrogant. You're shielding yourself from their harms.

~•~
