Oh sister covered in hijab

Oh sister covered in hijab by sh. Badr Ali Utaybee hafidahullaah

This is a poem by shaykh Badr Bin Ali Utaybee hafidahullaah, taken from "20 pieces of advice to my sister before her marriage"

"Oh sister veiled in hijaab slacken your pace.
Walk upon the hearts of the jealous
ones and cause them to tremble!

Move with nobility and pride whenever the eyes of the envious
are barred from glancing at your skin.

You are beauty in its goodness and perfection.
You are chastity in all its glory.

Don't be decieved! Indeed veiling your face is from the sunnah
of that chosen Hashami Mesenger (sallallahu alyhi wa sallam)

Being veiled from sight is for you
a sign of dignity;
be delighted and with it, spoil yourself.

Your veil is a protective armor from every dreadful assailing wolf.

This is our legislation, truly and justly
Just as it is our nature.

It has been established in verses of the Qur'an and
authentic hadiths, related by trustworthy narrators.

When you recite the book of your Lord then understand
that in (surah) an-Nur are ayaat concerning al-Hijaab.

So ponder His order to throw the khimar, that covers your head,
over your face and to let it drape over your sides front and back.

And understand the word (throw) to indicate the importance
of being keen to cover your face and body
and this is clear truth.

And you have been prohibited from throwing your legs about,
So let not the sounds of anklets entice the ears.

And also in (surah) al-Ahzaab are verses 53 and on,
In them is my Lord's command to veil.

When
they came asking the prophet's wives or if you, Oh
sister are asked.

Because these verses even though they are for the prophets wives,
they are to be applied generally, due to what follows.

Because veiling is for the purification of the hearts which
so quickly fades the eyes when lined with kuhl.

And look to the conclusion of Al-Ameen and his understanding of the verse in
Adwaa'ul bayaan (1) and it is replete with benefits and also in this verse is an order
for you to bring your garment over you fully as to hide yourself and make yourself unrecognizable.

This book of Allaah Affirming that unveiling is
a foundation of evil that bring (men) to trial.

And the best of creation says about you "she is auwra"(2)
referring to women so think!

And on the authority of ibn Mas'ood as related by at-Tirmidhee
and declared hasan saheeh with each narrator just and precise
from first to
last.

And likewise al Bazzaar and ibn Khuzaymah and ibn al Adiyy
and Ali ad-Daraqutni (3)

Oh sister do not throw off the veil.
It is nobility for you and increase you in splendor,

As for those who encourage unveiling,
they only intend for you shame and belittlement.

And that you become like a mannequin in the hands,
a plaything, sold off for a petty price.

They seek that your picture is displayed in magazines
after you were once like a jewel, protected and safeguarded.

They want you to dance to music with them,
abandon your religion, and act like someone else.

And that the scum of mankind exchange,
between them and themselves, authority over you.

And use not acting as an excuse
Barking jackals, howling wolves,
there is no trust to be had in them.

Be warned from becoming the hunted, stalked down and eaten.

The "muck" of the art is belittling and
embarressing,
be warned of falling, Oh sister into mud.

Don't be amazed by the laughing of the mistresses of singning
and don't be bedazzled by the sinful stars of cinema.

This cannot decieve your type!
By Allaah, their chests constrict due to their sins,
filled with anguish and regret.

They, with their worries and woes, live their lives in a sick state,
Only Allaah's religion holds the cure.

Their chests are burnt by an open flame
that has set a blaze in its hollow.

With every day it burns stronger, more hot.

This is their intent; it decieves us not.

So do you, Oh sister, see as we see?

Do you understand whats being presented to thee?

Is dignity, that the Muslim woman relinquishes her hijaab?

Or that she fills with shame and disgrace?

Or is it decency if she is naked, uncovering her face,
wearing tight clothes and pants instead a modest
overgarment?

Is chastity to sing the song of adulterers and fornicators,
when overtaken by passion la la lee?

Is fortitude to agree to burn along with those
that will roast in hell?

Or is it sound politics to appoint to office over the masses,
one pampered raised in petty amusement(4) .

Those who make one from your gender in charge over their affairs will never attain success,
As authentically reported in the prophetic narration (5)

And it is just that she is given exactly as her husband in inheritance
and in rights of marriage and divorce ? (6)

Naturally she is not the same as a man

And in Islamic legislation she is below him
and is rightfully under his guardianship.

Oh our sisters, By Allaah this is her condition,
If you asked them: A modern woman

So do yourself well and stick to the shari'ah,
which if you hold firm to it,
your will not be misguided and will not
go astray.

It is your fortress, your honour.

It is your covering,
your light in the darkeness of the nights

Your are exalted in sticking to the injunctions of your faith,
like a star by which the sky is full of beauty.

May Allaah protect you and All who say
"Be rewarded with good Oh Bad bin Al-Ali

I intend here the shaikh of our scholars, Al- Allaamah Muhammad Al
Ameen ash-Shanqetee, in his book Adwaa Al-bayaan (6/548). He mentioned
that the strongest opinion is that this verse is general to all women.
2)
Translator note: The auwra (private part) for the woman varies
depending on who she is in front of. However, while in front of foreign
men, who are not her husband, father ,grandfather, brother, son , uncle
or nephew, she has to cover every part of her body according to the
opinion of many of the people knowledge.

at-Tirmidhee (4/337), Ibn khuzaymah in his saheeh (3/93-94), Al Bazzaar

Allaah, the Most High said about the female gender "(Like they then for
Allaah) a creature who is brough up in adornments (wearing silk and
gold ornaments, i.e. women), and who in dispute cannot make herself
clear?"(surah az-Zukhruf:18) According to the scholars of tafsir, this
verse refers to the weakness of the woman and her deficiency in
expressing herself.

5) Collected by Al-Bukhari , based on this
how can woman be given positions of great importance in a nation, such
as the ruler of the country or military general?

6) A woman is
not equal to man in inheritance or when dealing with marriage and
divorce. All of this is not because of the deficiency in her, but it is
from the completeness of a man's authority and guardianship over her;
he is her wali and he is responsible for her affairs. That is because
in the Islamic legislation, females are not equal to males.

The Dislike of Marriage with Women from the People of the Book -nowadays- and its Evil Consequences

In the name of Allah the Most Beneficent Most Merciful,

by Sheikh 'Abdul 'Azeez bin Baaz -may Allah have mercy upon him- [Reference below]:

The Imaam, the Father Sheikh 'Abdul 'Azeez bin 'Abdillah bin Baaz -may Allahs mercy be upon him- says:

Marriage with other than Muslim Women contains in it elaboretness. [TN: It's not as simple as we think. And the Sheikh will explain bi ithnillah]. Idolatresses, Communist and likewise Buddhist Women are not permissible to marry. As for chaste women from the People of the Book who are known for having chastity, decency and being distant from the avenues of fornication, they are considered the chaste ones.

So it is permissible for a Muslim Man to marry a chaste woman (from the People of the Book). However he leaves off that which is more virtuous and foremost and what is farther away from evil (i.e. marrying the Muslimah).

Because marrying this women could perhaps lead him to becoming a Christian (or Jew) -and Allahs refuge is sought- or possibly lead the children to becoming Christians (or Jews). And this is the reason why 'Umar and a group from the Salaf disliked that (type of marriage although it is permitted) fearing for that person the evil consequences behind it. Nontheless the origin is that it is halaal (lawful).

Just as He the Most High and Exalted says in His Noble Book in Surah al-Maaidah: {Made lawful to you today are At-Tayyibat [all kinds of Halýl foods, which Allýh has made lawful (meat of slaughtered eatable animals, milk products, fats, vegetables and fruits). The food of the people of the Scripture (Jews and Christians) is lawful to you and yours is lawful to them. (Lawful to you in marriage) are chaste women from the believers and chaste women from those who were given the Scripture (Jews and Christians) before your time, when you have given their due Mahr, desiring chastity (i.e. taking them in legal wedlock) not committing illegal sexual intercourse nor taking them as girl-friends.}5:5

Thus Allah has permitted marriage to those women from the People of the Book (who are chaste). And a Muhsanah is one who is free, chaste and known (to the people) for chastity and decency. So when is this known from her?! When is it known that she is chaste in (places like) America or England or in any place?! This is petrifyingly dangerous. The advice is that he (the Muslim Man) should not marry her (the disbelieving women from the People of the Book). But if you find a chaste woman (from amongst them) who her chastity can be testified to then it is permissible to do so, yet he leaves off what is better (i.e. a Muslimah).

Because it is a means for him becoming a Christian (or Jew) due to his love for her or his children after him whether it be during his lifetime or after his death.

And there is no might or power except with Allah!

And may peace and blessings be upon our Prophet Muhammad, his family and companions.

the day i met shaytaan:

asalamu alaikum wa rahmatullahi wa barakaatuh,

subhanAllah we should thank Allah for guiding us to Tawheed, as those who are upon shirk and kufr are the ones who shaytaan has truly taken over.

yesterday, my mother and i ran into someone who happened to be an overzealous christian, and as soon as he saw us, he said: "thank God im christian!". i say, "alhamdulillah for Allah has saved me from the shirk that they commit".

here are the main parts of the conversation, give or take a few words here and there. notice the sickness of mind and insanity of this individual in the way he answers the questions, full of blindness and senselessness, as Allaah says in the Qur'aan, a-falaa ya'qiloon???


him: why don't you believe that Jesus is God!? (he says this as if it is the most natural thing upon the face of the Earth)

me: we, as muslims, believe in what is called tawheed, it comes from the arabic root wa-hh-ada, to make one, that there is no one worthy of worship except Allah.

him: Jesus came to die for your sins!

me: we don't believe that anyone is going to be responsible for ours sins and bear the burden of our sins except our own selves.

him: Mary was pregnant with Jesus, and she was a virgin, and this miracle was performed by God, so God is the Father! (subhanAllahi 'amma yasifoon!!!)

me: all Allah has to do is say: "kun", fa yakoon - Be! and is it, and that is the case with the birth of Jesus.

him: Jesus came down to Earth for a period of 33 years, and during this time, God was a human. (laa ilaaha illa Allah!)

me: so do you believe that Jesus is God or the son?

him: both! (look at the insanity of this man, la hawla wa laa quwwata illa billah)

me: where is God?

him: in the heavens.

me: then tell me, if God was on Earth as a human, who was in Heaven?

him: (starts talking about other nonsense and historical accounts).

after a few minutes

me: you didn't answer my question.

him: what was your question? (subhanAllah, is he really this blind?)

me: if God was on Earth as a human, who was in Heaven? and who was taking care of the needs of the Creation?

him: God is [can be] everywhere! (he just said God is in heaven, now he says He's everywhere. how confused is he! why don't they worship everything then if God is everywhere???)

me (or my mother): are you saying then that God was crucified, so He died?

him: yes he did! for me, for you and for you! because Jesus loves you! (wa lahum 'adhaabu jahannam wa bi'sal maseer)

me: you believe in one God or three?

him: we believe that God is one, but there is the Father, the son and the holy ghost!

me: so you believe that God is three people?

him: three...(stammers)...entities, yes.

me: we do believe in Jesus, but that he was only a messenger sent to us, like Muhammad sallallahu alayhi wa sallam

him: messenger?? i can also be a messenger, i am a messenger sent to you! (have you started laughing yet?)

me: why don't you believe in the Qur'aan then, the way you invite us to believe in your Bible? except that we do believe in the orignial injeel, or revelation sent to Jesus, but it has been changed.

him: it has not been changed! (he denies the truth about the Bible even though it is in front of his face), and we don't believe in the Qur'aan because st. Paul said that whoever accepts another book after the Bible is doomed.

me: we don't believe in saints.

him: oh us too, but im just saying it to... (subhanAllah, he uses whatever example it takes, true or false, to try to prove his point)

me: the Qur'aan was revealed to Muhammad sallallahu alayhi wa sallam

him: i don't believe he [sallallahu alayhi wa sallam] is the last prophet! how can it be when he [sallallahu alayhi wa sallam] could not read or write and yet had the Qur'aan?

(subhanAllah, this man claims to believe in the miraculous birth of Isaa alayhi asalaam, and he fails to believe in the Qur'aan being revealed to Muhammad sallallahu alayhi wa sallam???

look how he tries to rationalize here, yet he can't use his senses to realize that he is worshiping a god who was apparently killed at the hands of the people... Jesus could not save himself from being killed (as they claim), so how can he save us and bring us salvation???

"Have you then taken (for worship) Auliya' (protectors) other than Him, such as have no power either for benefit or for harm to themselves?")

lastly, when my mother and i were leaving (we had come to his office for some paperwork, not knowing about his character beforehand, subhanAllah this is from the qadr of Allah, and Allah had willed to show us shaytaan in person that day...),

he said: before you leave, i ask you to accept Jesus [to be your savior].

me: and i ask you to accept and worship Allah with no partners

him: NEVER! ('audhibillahi min ashaytan irrajeem)


i cant explain how sick i felt after hearing such words of kufr and shirk come out from someone's mouth. now when i think about the prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam and the sahaaba, and what they went through, each and every day, dealing with the mushrikoon, i am truly amazed at how they passed through those moments by the Help of Allah. may Allah join us with them in Jannah, ameen.

wa nas'alullah asalaama wal 'aafiya.

subhanaka Allahumma wa bihamdika, ashhadu anla ilaaha illa anta, astaghfiruka wa atooboo ilayk.
