📌 THE PUNISHMENT OF ZINĀ (FORNICATION) IS INDEED SCARY 📌

Imam Ad-Dhahabt relates in Kitaabul Kabaa'ir, that Rasul Allah PBUH said: "Whoever touches a woman who is not lawful for him with lust, he will be resurrected with his hands shackled to his neck on the Day of Judgment. If he kissed her, his lips will be cut off and thrown into the fire. He will then say, "What did I do?" If he committed fornication, his thighs will says, "I was mounted for something impermissible." Then, Allah S.W.T will look at him with such anger that the flesh on the man's face will peel off. Then his tongue will bear witness against him and say, "I spoke to that which was unlawful." Then his legs will say, "I walked towards something haram" Then his hands will say, "I held that which was impermissible for me to hold."  Then his eyes will testify against him, "I gazed at that which was haram for me to gaze at." Then his private parts will say, "I committed the act."

Then one angel will say, "I heard it!" And another angel will say, "I wrote it down!" Then Allah will say, "I was aware of it but I concealed it."

*Those who boast with the evil deed they commit too 😗 because these people boasted about their relationship, broadcasted it to their friends, told the whole world about it and walked hand in hand with each other so that everybody knows of their sin, Allah~ will say to the angels: "0 angels! Take him away and torture him! My anger has increased on the one who has no shame."

*●Source📚: Kitabul Kabaair of Imam Ad-Dhahabt*

Allah says in Suratul Al-Isra' 17:32

وَلَا تَقْرَبُوا۟ ٱلزِّنَىٰٓۖ إِنَّهُۥ كَانَ فَٰحِشَةً وَسَآءَ سَبِيلًا

"And do not approach unlawful sexual intercourse. Indeed, it is ever an immorality and is evil as a way."

May Allāh save us and our Families from Zina and all deeds that leads to it. Aameen..

Perimenopause does not announce itself. It takes things from you quietly and lets you believe it was your fault.

Look at the top row of this graphic. Forgetting ayat you have known for 20 years. Losing motivation for Sunnah acts you used to love. Feeling disconnected from the deen. Feeling distant from Allah.

Almost nobody says those four out loud. Women decide their iman got weak and make istighfar for something that is partly hormonal.

Estrogen is not only a reproductive hormone. It has receptors in your brain, your bones, your joints, your blood vessels and your gut. When it starts declining and swinging, memory, mood, sleep, focus and motivation go with it. That is why this list is so long, and why it feels like 40 unrelated problems instead of one transition.

This is not you falling apart. This is not a spiritual failure. This is a hormonal shift nobody prepared you for.

And much of it responds to real intervention. Stabilizing your blood sugar. Building muscle. Protecting your sleep. Sitting in front of a doctor who takes you seriously.

One thing I will not scroll past. If suicidal thoughts are on your list, please do not carry that alone. Call or text 988 in the US, any hour. For Muslim-specific support, Naseeha is 1-866-627-3342, also 24/7. Reaching out is not weakness in your deen.

Share this with a woman who thinks she is losing her deen. She may be losing estrogen. 🙌🏾

High-value woman or high-value man is not really about money, beauty, status, followers, or how desirable someone appears to the world; it is about the quality of the person they have become when no one is watching.

A high-value person knows their worth without needing to prove that they are better than others; they possess self-respect without arrogance, confidence without entitlement, and strength without cruelty. They understand that emotional maturity means being able to regulate anger, desires, impulses, jealousy, and disappointment rather than becoming a slave to them. They take responsibility for their mistakes instead of blaming circumstances or manipulating others to escape accountability. They have boundaries because they understand that kindness without boundaries can become self-abandonment, and love without self-respect can become dependency.

They do not confuse intensity with intimacy, attention with love, or potential with character. They observe actions, consistency, integrity, and responsibility because they understand a profound truth: people should be judged by the patterns they repeatedly demonstrate, not by the promises they occasionally make.

They do not enter relationships believing they can rescue, repair, or transform another adult through love; they choose people based on who they actually are, not merely on who they might become. They can love deeply without losing themselves, forgive without becoming foolish, walk away without hatred, and remain compassionate without tolerating abuse.

They communicate honestly, handle disagreement with dignity, and refuse to participate in mind games, emotional blackmail, silent punishment, or manipulation. They continuously work on themselves because they understand that self-improvement is not about becoming superior to others, it is about becoming less controlled by one’s own weaknesses.

Ultimately, a high-value person is not someone who has convinced the world of their worth; it is someone whose character gives that worth substance. Their greatest asset is not what they possess, but who they are; not how many people desire them, but how wisely they choose; not how much attention they receive, but how much integrity they maintain when attention disappears.

In a world obsessed with appearance, validation, and superficial standards, true value remains remarkably simple: character, self-respect, emotional discipline, moral integrity, humility, responsibility, and the wisdom to choose relationships that preserve rather than destroy your dignity and peace.

Ibn 'Abbās رضي الله عنه said:

❝Marry for if the servant of Allāh commits zinā,

Allāh snatches the light of Eemān from him,

and may or may not return it❞

● {الطبقات الكبرى ٥/٢٨٧}

You're too young for Nikkah, but not too young for illegal sexual intercourse (Zina).

May Allah forgive us and may we end well


(آمين)

Zina is common because it only needs a place, while Nikah requires car, house, wealth and luxury.

A man has done NOTHING for you until he makes you his wife.

He won’t let you commit zina and instead marry you to keep you pure and safe from sin.

If that is not true gesture of love, then I don’t know what that is.

The sisters of yesterday shied away from unnecessary attention.

The sisters of today compete for likes and views, their faces glowing under filters.

The sisters of yesterday lowered their gaze, guarding their hearts from fitnah.

The sisters of today take selfies with angles that invite gazes they claim to detest.

The sisters of yesterday sought knowledge from scholars with humility.

The sisters of today follow influencers who mix truth with desires, reshaping modesty into trends.

The sisters of yesterday preferred the company of righteous women, reminding each other of the hereafter.

The sisters of today form circles where gossip and fashion take center stage, with “deen talk” as a side note.

The sisters of yesterday valued their husbands and homes, seeing them as part of their ‘ibadah.

The sisters of today are told that submission is oppression, that a woman’s worth lies in how loud she can be.

The sisters of yesterday feared the fire of Hell and hoped for Jannah.

The sisters of today say, “Don’t judge me, only Allah can.”

But tomorrow? Who will the next generation of sisters become?

Secrets of your Spouse ...

1. To Marry: Women looks Future of Men, but Men looks Past of Women.

2. Love: Women Likes Quality of Love, but Men likes Quantity of Love.

3. Search: Mostly Women Search for Character of Men. So its easier for her to forgive him but difficult to forget him, Whereas Mostly Men Likes Beauty of Women so if he find better one he can forget her but if she makes any mistake to him its difficult to forgive her.

Here are some tips to maintain a healthy relation with your spouse 😊

Ways To Keep Your Wife's Love ❤

1. Make her feel secure and sakinah - don’t threaten her with divorce.

2. Advise in private, at the best time, in the best way and atmosphere.

3. Be a good listener.

4. Call your wife with the best names, cute nicknames, names she loves to hear.

5. Don’t act as if you are doing her a favor by working or providing, Allah is the Provider, the husband is the carrier of the sustenance to the family.

6. Sit down and eat meals together.

7. Keep disputes between the two of you, don’t take it outside.

8. Don’t leave home in anger.

Ways to Keep Your Husband's Love ❤

1. Behave like a female, i.e. all the tenderness of a female--a man doesn’t want a man for his wife.

2. Dress pleasantly/attractively. If you are a home-maker, don’t stay in your sleeping suit all day.

3. Don’t lay out all your problems on your husband as soon as he walks in. Give him a little mental break.

4. Don’t keep asking him, “what are you thinking?”

5. Be kind to your mother-in-law the same way you would like your husband to be kind to your own mother.

6. Keep your house clean, at least to the level that he wants it.

7. If he’s angry with you and starts yelling, let him yell it out while you’re quiet. You will see your fight will end a lot faster. Then when he’s calm, you can tell him your side of the story and how you wanthim to change something.

8. The way to a man’s heart is through his stomach.

9. Look attractive and be seductive towards him. Flirt with him.

10. Don't ever compare your husbands to other husbands! For example don't say, "well her husband doesn't do that, why do you" (thats a killer!)

11. Wake him up for Qiyam ul-Layl (in the last third of the night) and ask him to pray with you.

May Allâh subhanahu wa ta’ala preserve all of our marriages and help us understand and implement them in and with the best of manners. Ameen

Three Men and Three Women.

It is reported that ʿUmar b. Al-Khaṭṭāb al Farook (radiAllahuanhuma) said:

There are three types of men and three types of women.

■ As for the women, then [one] is the chaste, Muslim, gentle, loving and childbearing woman. She helps her family in difficult situations and does not help situations to overcome her family. Rarely will you find such women.

■ Another is a vessel, she does nothing more than bear children.

■ The third type is a shackle, Allāh puts her around the neck of whomsoever he wills, and when he wills to remove it, he removes it.

Men are [also] three kinds.

■ [The first is] a chaste, easy, gentle man who possesses opinion (insight) and is worthy of being consulted; and when a matter befalls him, he follows his insight, and approaches matters as they should be.

■ The second is a man who has no opinions of his own, and when a matter befalls him he goes to the one who does have insight and should be consulted, and he adopts his opinion on the matter.

■ The third is a man who is confused, lost and aimless; he neither follows (seeks) guidance, nor obeys any guide.

THE IMPORTANCE OF KEEPING THE FEMALE VIRGINITY BEFORE MARRIAGE IN ISLAM.
.
.
Virginity is a very strong sign of chastity in Islam. It cannot be underestimated today no matter what reasons we choose to profer here or elsewhere. The Prophet s.a.w. did recommend marrying virgins. That does not mean only those with intact hymens but those who have never attempted premarital sex till the time of nikah. Meeting the hymen intact or seeing blood stains on the first night is not as important as knowing that no man has touched the lady before getting married for the first time.
.
The nikah of those married as virgins are not the same with those married after they have lost their virginity through premarital sex because their first partner remains on their mind. Women should strive to keep their virginity till their first night in marriage for their first ever legal husband. That is the joy of it all and that is the culture that Islam treasures a lot and also a practice treasured in so many tribes and cultures of the world.
.
Virginity may not tell you the state of the heart but it definitely sends a strong message of morality, fidelity, chastity, loyalty and good home training and upbringing. No right thinking man will like to wish away such rare and invaluable precious qualities in a woman.
We are not marrying from Hollywood, Bollywood or Nollywood. We are marrying from a pool of well trained muslim sisters from good Islamic homes. That is why Allah says that the fornicator should marry the fornicatress, and the pure and chaste men should also marry the pure and chaste women.
.
Besides it does not matter or make much difference if a lady has been in jahiliyah or not prior to the time of practising Islam well and getting married. Jahiliyah is different from jahiliyah. There is jahiliyah with good home training and moral upbringing and there is jahiliyah with lack of home training and reckless and immoral upbringing. The fact that a lady grew up without Islam doesn't mean that she must have grown up loose without morality and chastity. Jahiliyah is not synonymous with reckless and immoral living and engaging in premarital sex and affairs. Most of our pious predecessors including the Prophet s.a.w. married before Islam during jahiliyah (ignorant) period and they married chaste women. In most cultures in the world, both Muslim and non-muslim, virginity and chastity are two inseparable twin qualities of good marriable spinsters.
.
We are not saying that only virgins are chaste but being virgins at the time of nikah is a sure proof of chastity. Of course there are exceptions but they must remain exceptions because the accepted and recommended norm in Islam is to marry muhsanat which means chaste women either from the never married who are expected to be virgins and previously married chaste women from among the widows and divorcees who must have been married as virgins the first time they got married.
.
However virgins are given priority over the previously married chaste women in the Sunnah of the Prophet (s.a.w.). Exceptions are chaste women who lost their virginity
through rape or exercises when small but they must feel the loss and wish they didn't lose it physically though they remain chaste because virginity is a virtue and remains a virtue in today's immoral world though lack of hayah i.e. Islamic shyness and modesty in women is making many to disregard the sanctity and sacredness attached to virginity.
.
Those who lost their virginity before
developing islamic consciousness but later sincerely repented are among the chaste women but they are not equal with those who eventually married as virgins. That is why the Prophet s.a.w. said that paradise is guaranteed for any muslim man who succeeds in raising three, two or even one daughter with sound morals till he marries them out. This is their reward for marrying out their daughters as virgins.

Chapter: What the Prophet (ﷺ) recited to seek refuge for others and what was recited (in that regard) for him(36)باب مَا عَوَّذَ بِهِ النَّبِيُّ ـ صلى الله عليه وسلم ـ وَمَا عُوِّذَ بِهِ
It was narrated that Ibn ‘Abbas said:
“The Prophet (ﷺ) used to seek refuge for Hasan and Husain and say:

A’udhu bi kalimatil-lahil- tammati, min kulli shaitanin wa hammah, wa min kulli ‘aynin lammah

(I seek refuge for you both in the Perfect Words of Allah, from every devil and every poisonous reptile, and from every evil eye).’

And he would say: ‘Thus Ibrahim used to seek refuge with Allah for Isma’il and Ishaq,’ or he said: ‘for Isma’il and Ya’qub.’”

Muslim weddings are intended to commence with blessings, modesty, and the remembrance of Allah. Increasingly, however, contemporary practices incorporate music, dancing, and public displays of immodesty, thereby diminishing the blessings that ought to characterise such a sacred occasion. These developments risk undermining the spiritual essence of marriage. A return to Islamic principles provides the most reliable foundation for enduring happiness and divine blessings

Dear Muslim Girl,

Falling in love and getting all emotional and 'mushy mushy' is not the next thing after you receive a proposal. It is time to get into prayer mode and fact finding.

Pray like your life depend on it and remain clear headed about why you are giving a consideration to the proposal.

You will be doing love wrong if all you do is fall in love and become emotional, talking day and night and blushing over every chat.

It is natural for some sense of attachment to begin. A chemical reaction will happen in your brain at the onset of a new relationship which in turn releases those warm fuzzy feelings. You must resist the urge to be carried away.

Good for you, islam has restrictions in opposite gender interactions.

Love at first sight is mostly an illusion. Falling in love is as easy as apple pie. Staying in love is the deeper challenge many people are unwilling to pay the price for.

Pray like your life depend on it. Listen for details. Let your waliyy do his job. Discern the unspoken words from the spoken words. Clarify what seem unclear. Ask questions. All these doesn't have to take forever. But, the time can vary from person to person and situation to situation.

In all you do, stay within Islamic limits.

If you are patient, there's a lot of time ahead of you to make loving memories and get all blown away by his presence. You will have the time to be swept away during your honeymoon phase and after it. You will get your own opportunity to create romantic experiences like love birds do. You are in the marriage for the long haul.

Don't rush the process by clouding your sense of reasoning. Silence those yeye butterflies.

For now, focus on Allah and let him guide you. This is the foundation of your marriage. No building that wants to stand the test of time bolts through its foundation stage.

Marriage is a lifelong journey. Begin with the end in mind.

Today, a lot of single sisters turn down the marriage proposal of married men because they do not want to share their husband with any woman. They want him to themselves alone. Some don't mind going into polygyny but only on the condition that they are the first wife. Similarly some married men prefer to marry virgins as second or third wife and they avoid the widows and divorcees. If married men ignore the widows and divorcees who will consider them? Is it the single men, the bachelors?
.
Most bachelors will never consider previously married women but there are not enough bacjelors to marry the virgins never married women so they should not rule out accepting the proposal of married men. A lot of bachelors marry late these days because of economic reasons. They need to save enough money for securing an accommodation, have a stable source of income before they can be ready for nikah. So the single sisters sometimes have no choice but to consider married men's proposal if they don't want to delay unnecessarily.
.
It is true that anyone, male or female can choose who to marry and no one should make a jest or mockery of a fellow muslim over their choices and preferences but from life experience people should be advised, guided and counselled on how to choose a spouse in islam or else they just take irrational and unrealistic decisions that will have negative consequences later. Some accept the proposal of men who are not religious because they are single but later get divorced due to incompatibility.
.
Firstly, being a single or married man is usually not part of what is given consideration in a man before saying yes or no to his proposal. Aisha bint Abubakr r.a. who was a very young virgin married a much older married man the age of her father or older.
.
Hafsah bint Umar r.a., a divorced teenager married a married man far older than her dad. Zainab bint Ali, a young virgin married a married man (Umar ibn Al-Khattab) a married man far older than her father. The marital status (whether single or married) was not considered. Even their age wasn't considered. Consideration was given to the faith and piety.
.
The Prophet s.a.w. was reported to have said that if a man whose religion you like proposes to your daughter and you turn him down then you should expect fitnah (calamities) on the earth and great fasad 7(immoralities). He didn't say the man must be single or married. So long as his deen is sound then his proposal should be accepted.
.
Any woman who insists on marrying a single unmarried man is not following the sunnah and is not being realistic. Even those married men seeking to take more wives are giving priority to virgins and young widows and divorcees without kids. Single men are not looking at the side of widows and divorcees at all. It is only in exceptional cases that you see a bachelor going for a married woman.
.
Recently a young bachelor decided to propose to a twice divorcee with three kids but he was shocked when his mum who has a very good understanding of the deen opposed him vehemently and he had no choice but to cancel the proposal.
.
I know of a young muslim sister who accepted the proposal of married men three times but didn't end up in marriage before she eventually married a bachelor according to what was destined for her. If a very young pretty lady like her could accept the proposal of married men because she was being realistic then what do you think of a widow or divorcee with kids rejecting the proposal of a married man because she prefers a single man?
.
We should encourage our sisters to follow the sunnah, the advice of the experienced elders and be realistic in their choice of spouse.
.
May Allah ease the affairs of our single women. Amin.
.

WHEN MARITAL PROBLEMS ARE LEFT UNRESOLVED, BITTERNESS GROWS

When problems in a marriage are not properly addressed, the hurt does not simply disappear. If spouses continually ignore problems, refuse to communicate, or allow resentment to build, anger and bitterness can grow until they begin to damage the love and mercy that once existed between them.

Allah سبحانه وتعالى says:

And live with them in kindness.”
— Qur’an 4:19»

This command applies to the way spouses treat one another. Marriage is not supposed to be a relationship where one spouse deliberately humiliates, neglects, or emotionally punishes the other.

Allah also reminds us of the purpose of marriage:

And He placed between you affection and mercy.”
— Qur’an 30:21»

A healthy marriage requires both mawaddah (affection) and rahmah (mercy). When communication completely disappears, emotional distance can develop even while two people are living under the same roof.

Being Ignored Can Cause Deep Hurt

When a spouse repeatedly refuses to speak, communicate, or address important problems, the other spouse may begin to feel rejected, confused, and emotionally alone.

The Prophet ﷺ said:

The best of you are those who are best to their wives.”
— Jāmiʿ at-Tirmidhī»

Being a good spouse is not only about providing financially or fulfilling physical responsibilities. It also includes good character, patience, consideration, communication, and avoiding unnecessary harm.

The Prophet ﷺ also said:

It is not permissible for a Muslim to forsake his brother beyond three nights...”
— Ṣaḥīḥ al-Bukhārī and Ṣaḥīḥ Muslim»

This hadith concerns Muslims generally, and marriage has even greater considerations because spouses have intimate rights and responsibilities toward one another. Therefore, deliberately cutting off communication as a means of punishment should not be treated lightly.

There Is a Difference Between Taking Space and Giving the Silent Treatment

Sometimes a person is extremely angry and needs time to calm down. Taking a reasonable amount of time to regain composure can be wise.

A spouse can say:

“I am upset right now. I don't want to say something sinful or hurtful. Give me some time, and in shā’ Allāh, we will talk about this calmly.”

That is very different from deliberately ignoring someone for days, withholding affection, refusing to communicate, or using silence to make the other person suffer.

One approach seeks reconciliation.

The other can become punishment and emotional harm.

Allah سبحانه وتعالى says:

The good deed and the bad deed are not the same. Repel [evil] by that which is better...”
— Qur’an 41:34»

Do Not Allow Resentment To Become A Permanent Way of Life

A marriage can slowly deteriorate when every disagreement is buried instead of resolved.

First, there is an argument.

Then there is silence.

Then emotional distance.

Then resentment.

Eventually, two people can find themselves living in the same house while feeling like strangers.

This is why spouses should address problems with wisdom, honesty, patience, and mercy before small wounds become deep resentment.

Allah سبحانه وتعالى says:

And reconciliation is best.”
— Qur’an 4:128»

And when a marriage reaches serious conflict, Allah instructs:

If you fear dissension between the two, send an arbitrator from his family and an arbitrator from her family. If they both desire reconciliation, Allah will cause it between them.”
— Qur’an 4:35»

Notice the objective: reconciliation.

Islam does not teach spouses to simply allow problems to grow until the relationship collapses. Rather, Islam provides guidance for addressing conflict and seeking what is best.

Do Not Blame Only One Spouse

It is also important to be fair.

Not every marital breakdown can be attributed entirely to one person's silence or negligence. Sometimes both spouses contribute to the deterioration of the marriage. Sometimes there is serious wrongdoing, abuse, betrayal, or other circumstances that require qualified intervention.
