Others` rights and the hereafter !

There are two kinds of abstention from the harâms.


First, to abstain from those sins which only violate the rights of Allâhu ta’âlâ. 

Second, to abstain from those sins in which other people’s and creatures’ rights are also involved. The second kind is more important. Allâhu ta’âlâ does not need anything, and He is very merciful. But human beings not only need a lot of things but also are very stingy and mean. 

Rasûlullah ‘sall-Allâhu ’alaihi wa sallam’ said: “A person who has violated others’ rights or who has encroached on others’ property and chastity should pay the rights back and have himself forgiven before dying! For on that day gold and property will not have any value. On that day, his thawâbs will be taken away until the rights have been paid, or, if he does not have any thawâbs, the wronged person’s sins will be loaded on him.” 

[Ibni ’Âbidîn ‘rahmatullâhi ’alaih’, while explaining the book Durr-ul-mukhtâr, says on the two hundred and ninety-fifth page of the chapter dealing with the subject of intending for namâz: “On the Day of Judgment, if the right-owner does not forgive his right, for a right worth one dank, seven hundred prayers of namâz that have been performed in jamâ’at and accepted will be taken away and will be given to the right-owner.” One dank is one-sixth of a dirham, about half a gram, of silver.]

World, body, heart, hereafter ...


Give up what is transient so that you may obtain what is permanent. It would be astonishing if a person with self-consciousness were fond of this world. The wicked will be fond of this world. And the good will hold fast to what is eternal. Be in the world with your body, and enjoy the next world with your heart! 
He who forsakes the desires of the nafs will become clean and will be rescued from disasters. On a person who forsakes what Allâhu ta’âlâ disapproves, Allâhu ta’âlâ will bestow something better. He who knows the world will not lament over its inconveniences. He who understands the world abstains from it. He who abstains from the world knows his nafs. He who knows his nafs finds his Allah. He who serves his Allah is served by the world. 
The world is like a man’s shadow. If you chase it, it will evade you. If you run away from it, it will chase you. The world is a place of troubles for its lovers. It is a place of blessings for those who are not deceived by its flavours. It is a place of profit for worshippers. It is a place of hikmat for those who take warning. It is a place of salvation for those who know it. It is like Paradise when compared with one’s mother’s womb. It is like a rubbish-heap when compared with the Hereafter.

How a Muslim woman should dress herself ? Modern Islamic fashion !


Awrat parts - it is harâm for others to look at those who have not covered these parts of their bodies. 

It is written in Kimyâ-yi Saâdet that it is harâm for women and girls to go out without covering their heads, hair, arms, legs, and it is also harâm to go out with thin, ornamented, tight and perfume scented dresses. Their mothers, fathers, husbands and brothers who permit them to go out as such and who think that it is appropriate and who condone them will share their sins and torments; that is, they will burn in Hell altogether. If they make tawba, they will be forgiven and will not be burned. Allâhu ta’âlâ likes those who make tawba. In the third year of the Hegira, girls and women who had reached the age of puberty were ordered not to show themselves to nâmahram men, and to cover themselves.
