[b:82555e611c]"Remember Our Hayaah"

Baiyinah Bint Muhammad [/b:82555e611c][/size:82555e611c]

Muslims who grow up in America undoubtedly face many challenges when choosing to accept Islam, whether they were born into Muslim families or discovered Islam for the first time later in life. Whatever our circumstances, we are all greatly affected by where we come from, often in ways we do not realize. One of the major problems facing Muslims who have grown up in the West is their loss of hayaa’, their sense of shame, and unfortunately, this is especially true for Muslim sisters.

The Prophet (s) told us that eemaan (faith) has seventy branches, the highest of which is Laa ilaaha illa Allaah and the lowest of which is removing something harmful from the road, and he added, “Hayaa’ (having a sense of shame) is part of eemaan.” When we study hayaa’ in Islam, we begin to see clearly that its definition goes far beyond mere “modesty,” as it is often translated, but it includes a more broad definition that is probably more adequately translated as “a sense of shame.”

Much of this hayaa’ comes from our fitrah, the natural inclination in all of us to submit to Allah and His laws. This in-born hayaa’ manifests itself in different ways depending on the culture, but most cultures have this aspect ingrained in them, at the very least, where covering the body is concerned. The overwhelming majority of societies recognize that covering at least some parts of the body is necessary for human interaction, as it is shameful to interact without clothing. Allah gives us further instruction in this area when He says what has been translated to mean, “And say to the believing women that they should lower their gaze and guard their modesty; that they should not display their beauty and ornaments except what (must ordinarily) appear thereof; that they should draw their veils over their bosoms and not display their beauty except to their husbands, their fathers, their husband's fathers, their sons, their husbands' sons, their brothers or their brothers' sons, or their sisters' sons, or their women, or the slaves whom their right hands possess, or male servants free of physical needs, or small children who have no sense of the shame of sex; and that they should not strike their feet in order to draw attention to their hidden ornaments. And O ye Believers! turn ye all together towards Allah, that ye may attain Bliss” (An-Noor, 24:31)

When most Muslims read this verse, they immediately think of its relation to the prohibition on intermingling between the sexes, and of course, this is likely because this is discussed in the verse. However, the verse is not only giving us guidance on our interaction between men and women, but it is also giving us guidance on our interaction within the same sex. Thus, from this verse, we, particularly women, have some directives on what is acceptable in front of women also.

No Muslim woman who is aware of the guidance of this beautiful religion would argue that it is okay to uncover any more than face and hands in front of non-mahram men. Furthermore, no aware Muslim woman would agree that it is okay to draw attention to her hidden ornaments in front of non-mahram men. Thus, it is inconceivable for a woman to be covered in khimaar and jilbaab displaying only her face and hands (or only her eyes) and she walk in a provocative manner such that men’s attention is drawn to what she is covering. This is because of what we know of the covering of her awrah (Islamically defined private parts) and the rules on hijaab (women’s covering): that “proper hijaab” goes beyond a woman’s dress and into her behavior and interaction with the opposite sex. However, what is too often forgotten is that we women have an awrah in front of women too.

[b:82555e611c]<span>Growing up in the West, where most everyone is intermingling, tends to lead Muslims to focus solely on staying away from intermingling and protecting the awrah in front of the opposite sex. As a result, what often occurs is that we automatically assume that what we may have done or seen others do in jahiliyyah (ignorance or non-Islam) in front of the opposite sex is permissible in front of the same sex. However this is not necessarily true. But since we have this assumption, it is common to find sisters at all-sisters parties (like for Eid and walimahs) wearing very revealing clothes that, even if the awrah is “covered,” it is so clearly defined with the tightness of the outfit that the purpose of the covering of the awrah is defeated.[/color:82555e611c][/b:82555e611c]</span>

<span>The Prophet (s) told us that there are two kinds of people in Hell, and one of them was, “women who are clothed yet naked walking with an enticing gait…” What we forget is that the same rules for covering in front of men, in terms of looseness and not showing the shape, apply to covering our awrah in front of women. And more detrimental, even when sisters do cover appropriately in front of women, they tend to do what Allah has forbidden in the above verse when He says, “…and that they should not strike their feet in order to draw attention to their hidden ornaments” by dancing provocatively, whether through belly dancing or imitating many provocative dances from the non-Muslims.</span>

<span>When this part of the verse is focused on, one notices something right away. Allah does not say that that “they should not strike their feet in front of men to draw attention to their hidden ornaments.” Although the context of this verse refers specifically to a woman who may wear noisy anklets that draw men’s attention, the generality of the verse gives a principle to apply to all relevant circumstances, which include all situations in which a woman is commanded to cover her awrah, whether in front of her father, brother or Muslim sister. Of course, how much a woman covers in front of each of them differs, but the principle remains the same: if she must cover it, she cannot draw attention to it. Otherwise, she is contradicting the ruling on covering one’s awrah.</span>

<span>In Tafsir Ibn Kathir, after referencing the noisy anklets being referred to in this verse, it states, “By the same token, if there is any kind of adornment that is hidden, women are forbidden to make any movements that would reveal what is hidden, because Allah says, “And let them not stamp their feet…”</span>

<span>It is well known in Islam that it is prohibited for a woman to look at the awrah of another woman or a man to look at the awrah of another man. The Prophet (s) said, “A man should not look at the ‘awrah of another man, nor a woman of a woman, nor should a man go under one cloth with another man, nor a woman with another woman” (Muslim). This is probably one of the clearest injunctions on this subject, and Allah knows best. After reading this hadeeth, it becomes clear that belly dancing or other provocative moves that force one to look at another’s awrah is forbidden between the sexes or within the sexes, because in both cases it results in drawing attention to the awrah. For the Shari’ah (Islamic Law) is clear on the principle: whatever is forbidden, that which results in it is also forbidden. This rule is so important in Islam that a normally permissible activity becomes prohibited if it is known that it will lead to something prohibited.</span>

<span>Regarding the awrah of women in front of women, many scholars say it is from the navel to the knee, but others say that the strongest proof is that it is more than that. However, in either case, belly dancing and other provocative dancing is forbidden, as it results in drawing attention to what is below the navel, namely the hips and buttocks of a woman.</span>

<span>Sheikh al Albaani was once asked a three-part question specific to dancing. He responded “As for the first part, which is a woman's dancing in front of her husband. If her dancing is natural and not professional – i.e. she did not learn how to dance, as is the fashion of this time – even if she stirs the desires of the man (husband), then there is no text that can be found that forbids this. But this is on the condition that it occurs between her and her husband only.” “…With regard to a woman dancing in front of her husband, then if her dancing is not joined with a learned way of dancing, but rather it is just a moving and waving of hands, and there is no shaking of the hips or those sorts of things that stir the desires and causes doubts, then there is also no problem with this dancing. If it is correct to call it dancing! But if any of those things mentioned above are found in it, then refraining from it is the original principle.” [Al-Asaalah, Issue #8]</span>

<span>We all are at different levels of understanding in our religion, but as we strive each day to implement Islam as the Prophet (s) and the Companions did, we must constantly challenge ourselves to become better people. And we must constantly be on guard against Satan, especially regarding those things that are so much a part of us that we may never have stopped to consider whether or not Allah is pleased with them. Having a true sense of hayaa’ is difficult for a person who grew up in a society that at the flick of a button one can see and hear the most lewd acts, and it is even more difficult for one who has participated in mixed parties and the like. However, in our striving to avoid the prohibitions and leave the intermingling of the West, let us not assume that whatever is not acceptable in front of brothers is acceptable in front of sisters. Some things are simply not okay for anyone except your spouse, and this is definitely the case for wearing provocative clothes and doing provocative dancing. May Allah forgive us our sins and instill within us that much needed part of eemaan: our hayaa’.</span>

*edited by Mutawakkil - (an unclear verse)

I got this in my e-mail and I would appreciate it if yall would read it

One evening this Sister was eating chicken with her husband at supper time, as they were eating, they heard a knock on the door...KNOCK KNOCK....SO the sister is asked to open the door, as she opens she sees this skinny beggar, just asking for something to eat, BUT! the husband kicked him out shouting GET OUT' GET YOUR OWN FOOD etc....but still the sister snuck some food and gave it to the beggar,

so as the months and years passed by the husband’s life became worst by the day, he sadly divorced his wife and his whole life changed

now for the sister, she remarried to another Brother...So again, one evening the sister and her second husband were eating chicken at their supper time, and they here a knock on the door KNOCK KNOCK....and the sister opens the door. And again she sees a beggar, but this time the second husband greets him and gives him every single food the beggar could carry!!! After the beggar left, the sister comes back to her second husband and starts crying really badly, and the second husband asks her `Why are you crying’, ‘maybe because I gave every food we had`? and the sister replies ``-no, this beggar was my first husband`` and the second replies afterwards `-And I was your 1st beggar`

So u see brothers and sisters, Allah turned the whole table around, first it was the 2nd husband that was the beggar at the beginning, but since the 1st husband kicked him out, he paid for it, and ended up being a beggar himself, so watch out what you do in this life, and share your wealth.

I loved this story and I hope you did too

As Salam Alykom

The idea started on this thread:

http://www.islamsms.com/bb/viewtopic.php?t=1197

So now we need to organize ourselves in order to:

1.set the agenda.

2. Place more points specially around women (I have some will put them later Insh aAllah just wanting to give chance for people to gain reward).

3. Another group might meanwhile search the web for Muslim organizations operating in the USA.

4. Identify their key persons.

5. Start developing a nicely written letter to address them taking in consideration that we all must take the Niyah (intention) only to Allah, not to gain personal or even a forum credit as being an initiative. Only with this Insh a Allah out endeavor will bear fruit.

Any more points are welcomed

as-Salaamu `alaykum wa-RaHmatullahi wa-Barakatuhu

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Good Manners At Home

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Spreading kindness in the home

'Aa'ishah (RA) said: "The Messenger of Allah (SAW) said:

'When Allah (SWT) wills some good towards the people of a household, He introduces kindness among them.'" (Reported by Imaam Ahmad in al-Musnad, 6/71; Saheeh al-Jaami', 303)

According to another report:

"When Allah loves the people of a household, He introduces kindness among them." (Reported by Ibn Abi al-Dunya and others; Saheeh al-Jaami', no. 1704)

In other words, they start to be kind to one another. This is one of the means of attaining happiness in the home, for kindness is very beneficial between the spouses, and with the children, and brings results that cannot be achieved through harshness, as the Prophet (SAW) said:

"Allah loves kindness and rewards it in such a way that He does not reward for harshness or for anything else." (Reported by Muslim, Kitaab al-Birr wa'l-Sillah wa'l-Aadaab, no. 2592)

Helping one's wife with the housework

Many men think that housework is beneath them, and some of them think that it will undermine their status and position if they help their wives with this work.

The Messenger of Allah (SAW), however, used to "sew his own clothes, mend his own shoes and do whatever other work men do in their homes." (Reported by Imaam Ahmad in al-Musnad, 6/121; Saheeh al-Jaami', 4927).

This was said by his wife 'Aa'ishah (RA), when she was asked about what the Messenger of Allah (SAW) used to do in his house; her response described what she herself had seen. According to another report, she said:

"He was like any other human being: he would clean his clothes, milk his ewe and serve himself." (Reported by Imaam Ahmad in al-Musnad, 6/256; al-Silsilat al-Saheehah, 671)

She (RA) was also asked about what the Messenger of Allah (SAW) used to do in his house, and she said,

"He used to serve his family, then when the time for prayer came, he would go out to pray." (Reported by al-Bukhaari, al-Fath, 2/162).

If we were to do likewise nowadays, we would achieve three things:

* We would be following the example of the Prophet (SAW).

* We would be helping our wives.

* We would feel more humble, not arrogant.

Some men demand food instantly from their wives, when the pot is on the stove and the baby is screaming to be fed; they do not pick up the child or wait a little while for the food. Let these Hadith be a reminder and a lesson.

Being affectionate towards and joking with the members of the family

Showing affection towards one's wife and children is one of the things that lead to creating an atmosphere of happiness and friendliness in the home. Thus the Messenger of Allah (SAW) advised Jabir (RA) to marry a virgin, saying,

"Why did you not marry a virgin, so you could play with her and she could play with you, and you could make her laugh and she could make you laugh?" (The hadeeth is reported in a number of places in the Saheehayn, such as al-Bukhaari, al-Fath, 9/121)

The Prophet (SAW) also said:

"Everything in which Allah's name is not mentioned is idleness and play, except for four things: a man playing with his wife." (Reported by al-Nisaa'i in 'Ushrat al-Nisa', p. 87; also in Saheeh al-Jaami')

The Prophet (SAW) used to treat his wife 'Aa'ishah (RA) affectionately when doing ghusl with her, as she (RA) said:

"The Messenger of Allah and I used to do ghusl together from one vessel, and he would pretend to take all the water so that I would say, 'Leave some for me, leave some for me,'" - and both of them were in a state of janaabah (impurity). (Muslim bi Sharh al-Nawawi, 4/6).

The ways in which the Prophet (SAW) showed affection towards young children are too famous to need mentioning. He often used to show his affection towards Hasan and Husayn, as mentioned above. This is probably one of the reason why the children used to rejoice when he came back from travelling; they would rush to welcome him, as reported in the saheeh hadith:

"Whenever he came back from a journey, the children of his household would be taken out to meet him." He (SAW) used to hug them close to him, as 'Abd-Allah ibn Jafar (RA) said:

"Whenever the Prophet (SAW) came back from a journey, we would be taken out to meet him. One day we met him, Hasan, Husayn and I. He carried one of us in front of him, and another on his back, until we entered Madeenah." (Saheeh Muslim, 4/1885-2772; see the commentary in Tuhfat al-Ahwadhi, 8/56).

Compare this with the situation in some miserable homes where there are no truthful jokes [i.e., jokes that do not involve lying], no affection and no mercy. Whoever thinks that kissing his children goes against the dignity of fatherhood should read the following hadeeth: from Abu Hurayrah (RA) who said:

"The Messenger of Allah (SAW) kissed al-Hasan ibn 'Ali, and al-Aqra' ibn Haabis al-Tameemi was sitting with him. Al-Aqra' said: 'I have ten children and I have never kissed any one of them.' The Messenger of Allah (SAW) looked at him and said:

'The one who does not show mercy will not be shown mercy.'"

مجالس الملائكة

يقول الحق سبحانه وتعالى :

(( يا أيها الذين آمنوا اذكروا الله ذكراً كثيرا وسبحوه بكرةً وأصيلا )) ..

ولذا فما أجمل ما قيل عن المؤمن مع الذكر ، بأنه

كالسمكة في الماء ،إذا خرجت منه ماتت ، وكذلك المؤمن مع الذكر ، إذا غفل عن ذكر ربه جل جلاله مات قلبه ..! ففي رحاب الذكر تتزكى نفسك ، وتتطهر روحك

وفي أجواء الذكر تتنعم وتتعطر وتأنس فتسعد.

تلك ليست كلمات إنشائية تقال وتسطّر ..

ولكنها حقائق سماوية تذكر ليطير إليها أصحاب القلوب الحيّة ، لأنهم يهتزون مع كل من يذكّرهم بربهم عز وجل ،

وفي الحديث الصحيح يقول رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم :

" مثل الذي يذكر ربه ، والذي لا يذكر ربه ، مثل الحي والميت " ..

فقس نفسك الآن على ضوء هذه القاعدة ، وسل نفسك منذ اللحظة أأنت إلى الحياة أقرب ، أم إلى الموت .؟!

تدمن ذكر الله فأنت حي إذن ،أما إذا غفلت عن ربك وخالقك ورازقك وموجدك

سبحانه وتعالى ، فلا تخدع نفسك ، أو يخدعك شياطين الأنس ،

فما أنت سوى قبر يتحرك فوق الأرض..!!

فرّغ لي قلبك الآن لحظات .. بعْ هذه اللحظات لله جل جلاله _ مع أن حياتك كلها في الأصل لله سبحانه _ .. تعال لنصغ إلى رسولنا الحبيب بكلية قلوبنا ..

هذا رسول الله يتحدث ..إن كل كلماته تتلألأ بين شفتيه ، وتحت كل كلمة إشراقها ونورها ،ومع كل معنى سمو وارتقاء وعز ، وفي كل عبارة

تتفتح أبواب السماء ،

فتهتز النفس الصافية ، لأنه يولّد في القلب نفحات سماوية خاصة ،

المهم فرّغ لهذه الكلمات قلبك ، واتجه به نحو السماء ..

عن أبي هريرة رضي الله عنه قال : قال رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم :

" إنّ للهِ تعالى ملائكةً يطوفون في الطرق ، يلتمسون أهل الذكر ،

فإذا وجدوا قوماً يذكرون الله عز وجل ،

تنادوا : هلموا ، هلموا إلى حاجتكم ،فيحفونهم بأجنحتهم إلى السماء الدنيا ، فيسألهم ربهم وهو أعلم : ما يقول عبادي ؟ قال: يقولون : يسبّحونك ، ويكبّرونك ، ويحمدونك ، ويُمّجدونك . فيقول : هل رأوني ؟ فيقولون: لا والله ما رأوك .فيقول : كيف لو رأوني ؟

فيقولون :

لو رأوك كانوا أشد لك عبادة ، وأشد لك تمجيداً ، وأكثر لك تسبيحاً .. فيقول : فماذا يسألون ؟ قال: يقولون : يسألونك الجنة .قال : فيقول: وهل رأوها ؟ فيقولون : لا والله يا رب ما رأوها . قال : فيقول: فكيف لو رأوها ؟قال : يقولون : لو أنهم رأوها كانوا أشد عليها حرصاً ، وأشد لها طلباً ، وأعظم فيها رغبة .

قال: فممَ يتعوّذون ؟ قال: يقولون : يتعوّذون من النار. قال : فيقول: وهل رأوها ؟قال: فيقولون : لا والله ما رأوها . فيقول: كيف لو رأوها ؟قال : يقولون :

لو رأوها كانوا أشد منها فراراً ، وأشد لها مخافة .

قال : فيقول: أُشهدكم أني قد غفرت لهم . قال: فيقول ملك من الملائكة : فيهم فلان ليس منهم ، إنما جاء لحاجة .قال : فيقول :

هم الجلساء لا يشقى بهم جليسهم ."

رواه البخارى..هذا الحديث فيض من السماء ، وقراءته في لحظة صفاء روحي كفيلة أن تهز القلب هزاً حتى تفيض العين بدمعها ،

وفي كل مرة تعيد قراءته تطالعك دروسه الكثيرة

وفوائده المتنوعة ،

ولذا فما أشد حاجة قلوبنا إلى مدارسة هذا الحديث والتذكير به :

تذكير أنفسنا وأهلينا ، وزملائنا ، والناس أجمعين ..

لأنه حديث شجي يعطر القلوب ويحييها ..

في الختام أحب أن ألفت النظر إلى قضية وردت في الحديث ،

هي من الأهمية بمكان :

يلاحظ أنه ذكر أن هناك ملائكة متخصصين في البحث عن أهل الذكر أينما كانوا :

في بيت .. في حديقة .. في مدرسة .. في سيارة .. في مكان عمل ….

فإذا وجدوا هذه الأجواء المعطرة فرحوا بها ، وتهللوا لها ،وأخذ بعضهم ينادي بعضاً إليها ، فيحيطونهم ، ويحفونهم بأجنحتهم ،

فيتعطر المجلس بعبق سماوي خالص ،

لاسيما وان السكينة تتنزل معهم ، والرحمة تغشى الجميع في تلك اللحظات

_ كما ورد ت الرواية الأخرى بذلك _ومن ثَمّ فلا شك أن لهذه النفحات أثرها الكبير على قلوب الجالسين ، فإذا تكررت ، في كل يوم مرة فإن آثاراً واضحة سوف يجدها هؤلاء القوم في حياتهم العملية في دنيا الناس ..

المهم أن يُحسنوا استقبال هذه النفحات ، ويُحسنوا كذلك استثمارها ،بعدم تضييعها أو التفريط فيها ..

أما أهل الغفلة فقد تخصصت بهم ولهم ومن أجلهم فرقٌ من الشياطين :

يحببونهم في المعصية ودوائرها ، ويهيجونهم إليها ، ولا يتكلمون إلاّ في التفاهات بعيداً عن الله عز وجل ، لغة الشهوة هي اللغة السائدة بينهم ، ورائحة المعصية هي المتفشية فيهم ..

والأعجب أن يحسب هؤلاء المساكين أنهم بخير وفي أحسن حال ، وأن كل شيء جيد ، وعلى ما يُرام ، وأنهم يُحسنون صنعا ، وأنهم بهذا يكونون سعداء ...!!

وصدق الله العظيم : (( نســوا الله ، فأنساهم أنفسهم )).. (( فلما زاغوا أزاغ الله قلوبهم ..))

ولنختم بهذه الفائدة الجليلة :

وفي الحديث إشارة إلى أن :

بإمكانك أن تحوّل المجلس الذي تكون فيه إلى مجلس تتنادى له الملائكة ، وتحتفي به ، وأن تجعل كل مجلس تكون فيه مجلس يباهي الله به ويذكره في ملأ عنده ..

بذلك تكون قد قررت أن تصبح شامة في وجه الدنيا ،لأنك مرتبط بمباشرة بالسماء ولا تستطيع الصبر عنها ..فهنيئاً

و أعوذ بالسميع العليم أن أذكركم و أنسى ... أو أن أكون جسرا تعبرونه إلى الجنة و يسقط

فى النار

لا تنسونى و والدىّ و المسلمين من الدعاء

أختكم فى الله

عاشقة الشـــــــ ابنة الإسلام ـــــهادة

According to the Holy Qur'an,both the jews and the christians have altered their Holy Books.The jews are classified as the ones whom God is angry at, the christians are lost people.ISLAM=TRUTH

everything written in the quran is for the good of mankind its for everyone to live better, no secret to it. i have not met one person that can prove me wrong on any subject and never will. i am proud to know the truth.

but allah will look after those people, and when jesus (peace and blessings upon him) comes back to us all he will call everyone to islam, because there are no secrets to the religion

Q:Why most Christians and Jews hate ISLAM?A:ISLAM is the only PROOF that shows the corruption of these false religions.READ Qur'an, ALLAH is the GREATEST
