Are You Scared of Wearing Hijab Outside?

Indeed everyone knows that it is quite difficult for you to go out wearing Hijab and Niqab in a society that mocks and torments you. I know that you, indeed, feel strange and out of place. However, if you knew the status of those who are mocked by the Kuffar as well as the status of the strangers, you will continue to wear your Hijab & niqab; for ALLAH Subhanahu Wa Ta’ala says in His Book in Surah Al-Mutaffifin:

[083:029] In fact the criminals, the unbelievers, used to laugh at those who believed.

[083:030] As they passed by the believers, they would wink at each other (jokingly).

[083:031] And when they returned to their family, they returned jesting (and grinning).

[083:032] Whenever they saw the believers, they said, “These are the people gone astray.”

[083:033] The unbelievers were not sent as guardians over the believers.
[083:034] So today, it is the believers’ turn to laugh at the unbelievers.

[083:035] (The believers would be sitting) on elevated thrones, looking on.

[083:036] Now, have the unbelievers not been paid in full for what they did?

Transliteration:
[083:029] Inna allatheena ajramoo kanoo mina allatheena amanoo yadhakoona

[083:030] Wa-itha marroo bihim yataghamazoona

[083:031] Wa-itha inqalaboo ila ahlihimu inqalaboo fakiheena

[083:032] Wa-itha raawhum qaloo inna haola-i ladalloona

[083:033] Wama orsiloo AAalayhim hafitheena

[083:034] Faalyawma allatheena amanoo mina alkuffari yadhakoona

[083:035] AAala al-ara-iki yanthuroona
[083:036] Hal thuwwiba alkuffaru ma kanoo yafAAaloona

Now…ALLAH Subhanahu Wa Ta’ala’s Words mentioned above should serve as a support for you O my dear respected sisters in Islam. Be strong!!!.. and keep holding on tight to the rope of ALLAH Subhanahu Wa Ta’ala.

May ALLAH Subhanahu Wa Ta’ala guides and protects us always. Ameen ya Rabbal Alameen.

Why Not to Celebrate "April Fool's Day"?

Many of us celebrate what is known as April fool or, if it is translated literally, the “trick of April”. But how much do we know of the bitter secret behind this day?

When the Muslims ruled Spain, approximately one thousand years ago, they were a force that could not be destroyed. The western Christians wished that they could wipe Islam from the face of the earth, and they succeeded to some extent. They tried to limit the spread of Islam in Spain and to put an end to it, but they did not succeed. They tried numerous times and never succeeded.

After that, the kuffar sent their spies to Spain to study and find out the secret of the Muslims’ strength which could not be defeated. They discovered that adhering to taqwa (piety or consciousness of ALLAH) was the reason.

When the Christians discovered the secret of the Muslims’ strength, they started to think of strategies to break this strength. On this basis they began to send wine and cigars to Spain for free.

This tactic on the part of the west produced results, and the faith of the Muslims began to weaken, especially among the young generation in Spain. The result of that was that the western Catholic Christians subdued the whole of Spain and put an end to the Muslim rule of that land which had lasted for more than eight hundred years. The last stronghold of the Muslims, in Grenada, fell on April 1st, hence they considered this to be the “trick of April.”

From that year until the present, they celebrate this day and consider the Muslims to be fools. They do not regard only the army at Granada to be fools who are easily deceived, rather they apply that to the entire Muslim Ummah. It is ignorant of us to join in these celebrations, and when we imitate them blindly in implementing this evil idea, this is a kind of blind imitation which confirms the foolishness of some of us in following them. Once we know the reason for this celebration, how can we celebrate our defeat?

After knowing this reality, let us make a promise to ourselves never to celebrate this day. We have to learn from the Spanish and adhere to the reality of Islam and never allow our faith to be weakened again.

Thus I would say: It does not matter what the origins of April fool are. What matters more is knowing the ruling on lying on this day, which we are sure did not exist during the first and best generations of Islam. It did not come from the Muslims, but rather from their enemies.

There is a never a day or a moment when shari’ah permits a person to tell lies or to say whatever he wants based on lies. One of the things that have become widespread among the common people is the so called “April Fool’s Day”, where they claim that the first day of the fourth solar month is a day when lying is permitted without being subject to any shar’ii guidelines.
