The Traducer
allaahsavedus:
وَيۡلٌ۬ لِّڪُلِّ هُمَزَةٍ۬ لُّمَزَةٍ
Woe to every slanderer and backbiter.
ٱلَّذِى جَمَعَ مَالاً۬ وَعَدَّدَهُ ۥ
Who has gathered wealth and counted it,
يَحۡسَبُ أَنَّ مَالَهُ ۥۤ أَخۡلَدَهُ ۥ
He thinks that his wealth will make him last forever!
كَلَّاۖ لَيُنۢبَذَنَّ فِى ٱلۡحُطَمَةِ
Nay! Verily, he will be thrown into the crushing Fire.
وَمَآ أَدۡرَٮٰكَ مَا ٱلۡحُطَمَةُ

Why should I lower my gaze?
leenabaleena:
Ibn al-Qayyim (may Allaah have mercy on him) said:
Looking is the origin of most of the problems that befall man, because looking generates thoughts, then thoughts generate ideas, and ideas generate desires, and desires generate will, which then becomes stronger and becomes firm resolve, in which case the deed will inevitably be done unless there is something to prevent it. Hence...

Ten Things
abu-amatullah:
Shaykh ul-Islaam Ahmad bin AbdulHaleem Ibn Taymeeyah (d.728 A.H.) -Rahimullaah- said:
‘It has been established in the ‘Saheeh’ of al-Bukhari from the Prophet -sallAllaahu alayhi wa sallam- that he said:
‘Indeed one’s actions are judged by his final actions.’
Therefore, if the believer commits evil than its consequences are repelled from him with ten means:

forthesakeofallah:
The most correct opinion, which is supported by evidence, is that it is obligatory to cover the face, therefore young women are forbidden to uncover their faces in front of non-mahram men in order to avoid any mischief, and they should certainly do so when there is fear of fitnah (temptation).
On this basis, the fuqaha’ stated that in certain situations, women are permitted...

"I want to be a better Muslim"
nonchalante:
What is stopping you? Wanting to be something has never made anyone anything. It’s your drive, motivation, focus, and what you do that makes you what you want to be. If you want to be a better Muslim, do it.
Write a list of what you want to change. Choose 3 things every month. Do them. It takes a person approximately 21 days to develop a habit. If you start something at the...

Question: Is it permissible for a person to initiate the well-wishing for the new year to someone?
Answer: If someone wished you well, then return the greeting to him, but don’t you be the one to initiate the well wishing to anyone — this is the correct position in this matter.
If for example someone said to you “we wish you well for this new year”, you should say “may...

The Levels of Ihsan
Ihsan comes at many different levels,the highest of which is one feeling that he is in the presence of Allah Almighty as the Prophet (sallAllahu ‘alaihi wa sallam) explained in the Hadith. The level beneath that is seeking closeness to Allah by performing voluntary deeds; then other acts of Ihsan follow after that, regardless of whether those are represented by intention, objective, or...

No. You never give up on people because they gave up on you. You never give up on people because they stop caring. You give up because YOU want to give up, but don’t base it off them. Sometimes people give the impression that they don’t care, just to see who cares enough to stay. Stay because you care. Stay because you want to. Do your part and leave the rest up to them.
