why do you think a woman should wear hijab?!

Because it's a command from Allah subhanahuwata'ala Who created her, owns her, sustains her and she'll be returned to Him.

Period. Khalas.

عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ -رضي اللّٰه عنه- ، أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ : " إِذَا مَاتَ الْإِنْسَانُ انْقَطَعَ عَنْهُ عَمَلُهُ إِلَّا مِنْ ثَلَاثَةٍ ؛ إِلَّا مِنْ صَدَقَةٍ جَارِيَةٍ، أَوْ عِلْمٍ يُنْتَفَعُ بِهِ، أَوْ وَلَدٍ صَالِحٍ يَدْعُو لَهُ ".

MUSLIM PRINCIPLES

To build your life around prayers

To seek tha blessings (barakah) of early morning

To understand you dont get to choose your family

To understand that forgiving can be difficult but to try anyway

To work for the Hereafter Life (akhirah) even when you cant feel the benefit now

To seek the halal when society makes haram easy and halal difficult

To follow the Sunnah when the whole world is going against it

Imagine This:

You chose Deen over Dunya. You prayed 5 times daily, read the Quran, and followed the Sunnah. You avoided swearing, backbiting, and music. You honored your parents, kept good company, and maintained distance from the opposite gender. You were kind, stayed on the right path, resisted Shaytan, and always repented.

Then on the Day of Judgement, Allah said:

"Oh reassured soul,

Return to your Lord, well-pleased and pleasing to Him,

And enter among My servants,

And enter My Paradise." (Quran 89:27-30)

[badrrr]

صلوا على نبيكم يا امة محمد

"Know that no Muslim servant sends abundant salawat on Muhammad as, except that Allah illuminates his heart, forgives his sins, puts his heart at ease, and makes his matters easy. Send abundant salawāt, so that Allah will make you from the followers of his path, make you act upon his sunnah; and make him at our companion in Paradise."

- Ibn al-Jawzi (rahimahullah)

The 12 Sunnah Prayers

the Holy Prophet ﷺ offered extra rakaats of prayer in addition to those of the 5 fard (obligatory) prayers. these prayers are called sunnah prayers. offering sunnah prayers are incredibly encouraged - almost to the point of necessity. below, in purple, show each of the sunnah's alongside the 5 daily prayers.

sunnah - 2 rakaats before FAJR - 2 rakaats

sunnah - 4 rakaats before ZUHR - 4 rakaats sunnah - 2 rakaats after

ASR - 4 rakaats

MAGHRIB - 3 rakaats sunnah - 2 rakaats

ISHAA - 4 rakaats sunnah - 2 rakaats

may Allah سُبْحَٰنَهُۥ وَتَعَٰلَىٰ make it easy for us all to follow the ways of our beloved Prophet ﷺ and offer the sunnah prayers alongside our 5 daily prayers, Allahumma Ameen.

hello, i really hope this doesn't sound bad but like, does salafist just mean sunni? like, are there sunnis who would claim just as much that salafist is a slur used against sunni? or is there, like, a clear divide between salafists and the sunni population at large? i intend this as a genuine question and i hope it doesn't sound provocatory or like im trying to muddy the waters

Not all Sunnis are Salafists, but all Salafists are Sunnis.

Salafism s a movement consisting of Sunni Muslims who believe that a layman should determine the legality of various Islamic opinions through Ijtihad (independent reasoning) rather than adhering exclusively to the opinions of the four major schools of Sunni Islam. They assert that the best of Muslims were the Salaf al-Salih, the first three generation of Muslims, and thus, a Muslim should derive various Islamic opinions through them. Their qualm with other Sunnis is that they reject the idea of Taqlid (to follow one of the fours schools of thought) in favour of a traditionalist approach to scripture and the Sunnah.

Salafists see themselves as revivalists or reformists in the sense that they aim to purify Islam from within by shunning practices that are considered innovations, heresies or idolatrous. Shi'a Muslims and other non-Sunni branches are considered heresies, and are declared disbelievers by these merits.

Keep in mind that Salafists are pretty split among themselves as a result of their various interpretations of scriptures, leading to the formation of various Salafi groups, such as Wahhabism, Jihadism, Madkhalism, Qutbism and etc. It should be noted that Hamas and the Talibans are not Salafist groups and are generally opposed to them.

The first step to achieving a new goal; identity; a lifestyle is to overcome laziness. I am myself was and sometimes have my lazy moments; however, to really make a change and accomplish the goals you desire first starts with changing your current lifestyle to the one you want; the person you want to become; and to work hard for the goals you want.

Of course, with that being said, do not change your whole lifestyle in one day. That is overwhelming and impossible, you will just go back to your old ways and become worse. Others say to have a new goal each day; however, for a more stable and consistent change, have a new goal every month. For instance, this month you will focus on balancing your meals; and then the next month is to be consistent through your sunnah namaz.

Each time you make these monthly goals, it shifts your one percent better than before. And as always be kind to yourself if you ever fall back or feel like giving up. Change can be difficult and that is why it is also important to go at your own paste even if that monthly goal turns to a year. Try your best and have faith in yourself!

Inshallah these steps help you!

𝑭𝒐𝒄𝒖𝒔 𝒐𝒏 𝑨𝒍𝒍𝒂𝒉

When you begin to prioritize Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala I swear your life changes. You begin to have inner peace, confidence, a burst of imaan and happiness. No matter who you are, no matter what your past is, dont ever let it stop you from becoming closer to Allah the Almighty.

We all have a past, guilt, a deed we committed that we are not proud of. But let me tell you something, Allah forgives every sin, Allah loves those who repent and try to change, Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala forgive those even if they sinned their whole lives, and Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala loves us no matter what.

So, who are you to say you are not worthy of forgiveness? I heard doubting your lord's mercy is a sin itself. That just shows how much our lord loves us, how merciful Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala is.

I sometimes do have that feeling of me not being able to be forgiven but please remind yourself how much of a merciful lord we have that even if we repent just now, we are forgiven.

The most important steps to focus on Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala and be better is to do the following:

Be consistent and on time with your five daily prayers (Fajr, Dhuhr, Asr, Mahrib, and Isha)

I know Fajr is hard for others or any of the prayers; However, try your best and pray to Allah to make it easier for you, to be consistent, to be engaged in prayer and to connect with it too, Start by setting up an alarm for each of the five prayers, strengthen your imaan by looking up the benefits of the five daily prayers; perform wudhu 10-15 minutes before (I tried this and it definitely made it easier for me to be on time and to be more engaged in namaz).

Perform Dhikr (Whether you have tesbih or the tesbih counter, always repeat Allahs most loved words like Subhanallah; Alhamdulilah, Allahu Akbar; La illaha Ilalah; Agstafurillah, and the 99 names. Even when you are working or at school--no matter where you are repeat these words as they are light on the tongue but heavy on the scale.)

Read the Quran (Sometimes life gets in the way, and we become very busy and that is why I recommend downloading a Quran app so no matter if you're at school or not you can read an ayat or two which is still heavy on the scale. And also learning how to read the Quran. No matter what level you are on learning how to recite the Quran, try your best and know that you can do it!)

Perform goodness (Try your best to give up those bad habits, those bad deeds and replace them with good ones. No matter how big or small those good deeds are, always be consistent with them.)

Make dua (For everything I listed, always make dua to make it easier for you, to ask for the things you want and need, and of course before you even ask for anything always repent and ask for forgiveness, as your lord is the most forgiving)

Mindset is everything! Shift your mindset to a positive one! stop thinking that you deserve every bad event. Stop thinking that bad incident was the end of it all; or how that rejection you got is the end to your happiness.

There is something I stand by and believe, and that is whatever did not work out for you is an opportunity for something better to happen.

Regardless of what is happening in your life right now, just know it is a test, a test that Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala is making you go through because why? Allah subhanahu wa ta'alaloves those he tests and is going to grant something way better. What you need to do is for you to believe something better will happen and to never give up.

Along with changing your mindset--change your mind set about yourself as in stop thinking your this and that, that your "ugly" or "weak". First of all, your beautiful and beauty should not define your inner beauty. Change the way you view yourself, just like affirmations think and believe you are beautiful, your amazing, successful, smart, and going to achieve your goals.

When you start to think of yourself as the person you want to become--you start to become that ideal identity. As you think about how beautiful you are, your face becomes more brighter, or how you began to think on how smart you are, you begin to work harder. Believe it or not but mindset is number one in taking action for change so please think good about yourself and life and shift those bad events to better opportunities.

Character is very important! By changing and improving your character, it overall changes your how you act and think. Character in islam is especially talked about. Following how our Prophet Muhammed sallallahu alaihi wasallam used to speak and his mannerism is an excellent example we should all follow.

Speak softly and to not speak unnecessary words (gossiping, lying, swearing)

Appear approachable (Have a positive demeanor and stop glaring at others!)

Have manners (Fix your posture, know your limits, and be polite)

Smile (Its sunnah!)

Know your limits (As mentioned before, being polite and to smile often; however, there are some people who take kindness the wrong way so make sure to be kind but you don't always have to be that cheerful bear. Make sure you are comfortable and know when to say no.)

Education is soooo important!

I know some people hate school and listen I hated school too but! School is so important--education is. Jobs now days only look at your education history and whether you have a diploma or not, which is why you should focus on your studies and go to school!

Others, including me, have had no idea what to study--what to become and at times like that it is very hard and discouraging and I understand. I finally applied to college after finding a program where it did not seem too hard, and it seemed like a program that I could like.

That being said, if you are having trouble to find a career path to pursue, write down your skills, what you're interested in, and what you are good at. For instance, you like to write and like to talk to others--consider Office Administration as you are required to write a lot. Point is, find your passions and research what career you could put your passion in to. And trust me, it won't be easy (pray and make istikhara which career path to take) but I believe we will all figure it out and find that career inshallah.

Take advantage on the ability to be able to study and get that education!

I hope this helps!! and remember to have a good day!

How a Muslimah Should Carry Herself

Shy : it will save her fitnah (temptation).

Quiet : she should not be loud, especally in public.

Be unknown : does not seek popularity. Unheard of to the creation, but known by Allāh ﷻ and His angels.

Dress modestly : she covers her awrah, has haya' (shyness), and does not display for herself for everyone to see.

Feminine : not a feminist. She follows the laws ordered by Allāh ﷻ, not the laws of man.

Does not seek attention : not desire for attention or recognition. Pleases the Creator, not the creation.

Has self-respect : focuses on guarding and preserving herself.

Stays at home : prioritize home life, only goes out when necessary. She travels with a mahram for safety. And she covers her awrah when going out.

How a Muslim Man Should Carry Himself

Modest : follows the Islamic guidelines on covering the male awrah, and lowers his gaze.

Humble : pratices humility, avoiding arrogance and riya' (showing off).

Respects women : treats all women with kindness and respect, not just those who he's attracted too.

Ibn al-Qayyim رحمه الله said regarding this ayah:

"Muslims are strangers among humanity, the believers are strangers among Muslims, the scholars are strangers among the believers, and the followers of the Sunnah who distinguish it from whims and innovations are strangers (among them).

Those who call to it (i.e. the Sunnah) and patiently endure the harm of the dissenters are the most estranged of them. However, these are truly the people of Allah.

Thus, they are not estranged, but their estrangement is merely among the majority (of people).
