Al hamdu lillahi nahmaduhu wanasta’eenahu, wanastagh-firuhu, wanatoobu ilayhi, wana Virtues of Zakat. All praise is due to Allah. He created His servants and provided them sustenance and sufficed them. And ordained for them a religion to rightly set their affairs. And warned them of the causes of misery. We praise Him and are grateful to Him For He is the most deserving of gratitude. He has luminous wisdom in His Divine Law. The Prophet (sal-Allaahu ‘alayhe wa sallam) said, “Faith (Belief) consists of more than sixty branches (i.e. parts). And Hayaa (This term “Hayaa” covers a large number of concepts which are to be taken together; amongst them are self respect, modesty, bashfulness, and scruple, etc.) is a part of faith.” [Bukhaaree] We also learn from Imam Ibn al-Qayyim was a great scholar of Islam. He was a student of Ibn Taymiyyah. He made listicles before listicles were even a thing. He made lists of 10 ways for you to get closer to Allah (swt). He did this after reading the Quran, after reading the Sunnah. After he read, he wrote up Tafsir. He wrote books upon books, and volumes. Islam is not a race or family in which membership is automatically passed on from father to son. A Shaikh or ulama’s son will not command respect in the eyes of God, if he does wrong deeds, just because he is born into a religious home; nor will He look down on the son of a poor family, disregarding his good deeds, simply because of his birth. Marriage (nikah) is a solemn and sacred social contract between bride and groom. This contract is a strong covenant (mithaqun ghalithun) as expressed in Quran 4:21. The marriage contract in Islam is not a sacrament. It is revocable. Both parties mutually agree and enter into this contract. Both bride and groom have the liberty to define various Khutba is the integral component of the Jummah prayers. It is Khutbah that differentiates the prayer of Friday from Zuhr prayer offered under normal circumstances and in ordinary days. Khutbah is the remembrance of Allah and one should listen to the Khutbah sermon with undivided attention. Prophet (PBUH) said: Meanwhile Rajab, the seventh month of the lunar year, stands apart from the other sacred months. It is thus called ‘Rajab al-Fard’ or ‘Rajab the Separate One’. Allah made it sacred in order to preserve people’s safety during ’Umrah, the minor pilgrimage. Unfortunately, many of the Arabs in pre-Islamic times didn’t respect the Kibr on account of possessing true faith and belief. 2. As opposed to it is the pride in invalid faith and false belief . 3. Pride on account of good qualities and praiseworthy attributes. 4. Pride in moral vices and undesirable qualities. 5. Pride in one’s righteous deeds and devotional exercises. Abaya. Common in the Arab Gulf countries, this a cloak for women that is worn over other clothing when in public. The abaya is usually made of black synthetic fiber, sometimes decorated with colored embroidery or sequins. The abaya may be worn from the top of the head to the ground (like the chador described below), or over the shoulders. e9Fys8.
