 🖊️Increase Knowledge ✨ *📝. HOW TO ELIMINATE INTERRUPTION, TO CONCENTRATE IN PRAYER* >> *It's a devil. His name is Khinzib* In prayer, sometimes thoughts come to reduce the concentration of prayer. What should be done to get fervent prayer, and get rid of these disturbing thoughts?   This kind of case was experienced by one of his friends, namely Uthman bin Abil 'Ash radhiallahu' anhu. He came to the Prophet ﷺ complaining about the disturbance he experienced while praying. *Then he ﷺ said:*   ذاك شيطان يقال له خنزب فإذا أحسسته فتعوذ بالله منه واتفل على يسارك ثلاثاً   “It is *a devil. His name is Khinzib.*  *_If you feel disturbed, ask Allah for protection from his disturbance and spit to the left three times."_*   Said Uthman, *"I did it too, then Allah removed the distraction from me."* [HR. Muslim, no. 2203]    *☑️Hadith Lessons:*   In the above hadith the Prophet ﷺ teaches us two ways to get rid of Satan's distraction in prayer: ...

 Can she uncover her face in front of her sister’s husband? My sister’s husband sleeps in our house sometimes and sometimes he stays all day, and I cannot cover my face in front of him. Am I sinning thereby? What is the solution?. Answer Your sister’s husband is a stranger (non-mahram) to you, and you have to cover your face in front of him and not be alone with him. Similarly it is haraam for him to look at you or to be alone with you. Unfortunately people are careless in their homes with regard to the in-laws, even though sharee’ah speaks strongly concerning them more than others, because people mix freely with them in their houses and the family members trust them.  It was narrated from ‘Uqbah ibn ‘Aamir that the Messenger of Allaah (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said: “Beware of entering upon women.” A man from among the Ansaar said: “O Messenger of Allaah, what about the in-law?” He said: “The in-law is death.”  Narrated by al-Bukhaari, 4934; Muslim, 217...

 *The True People of Knowledge*  *Shaykhul-Islam Ibn Taymiyyah (may Allah have mercy upon him) stated:* There are many from the students of knowledge whose intention with the knowledge is nothing except the attainment of leadership or wealth, and for every person is that which he intended. As for the people of knowledge and religion, they are the (true) people of knowledge, this is what's intended with them due to its benefit for them and their need for it in this life as well as in the hereafter. 📌Just as Mu'aadh ibn Jabal stated regarding the description of knowledge: Indeed the seeking of it for the sake of Allah is worship. Reviewing it is a means glorifying (of Allah). The research of it is striving (for the sake of Allah). Teaching it to the one who doesn't know it is a charity. By way of it Allah is known and they worship him. Also (by way of it) Allah is magnified and singled out (for all that which is specifically for Him). Based upon this we find the people who b...

 Many women neglect to cover their arms or legs while offering Salah Q: Many women do not strictly observe the code of dress while offering Salah (Prayer), as part of their arms, feet or even legs may be uncovered; is their Salah (Prayer) hence valid?  A: It is obligatory upon a free Mukallaf (person meeting the conditions to be held legally accountable for their actions) woman to cover all of her body except her face and hands when offering Salah, for all of her body is ‘Awrah (private parts of the body that must be covered in public). If she offers Salah while some of her ‘Awrah such as her leg, feet, or head is uncovered, her Salah is not valid. The Prophet (صلى الله عليه وسلم) said: “Allah does not accept the Salah of a menstruating woman (i.e. an adult woman) unless (she covers her head) with a head-cover.” [Related by Ahmad and the Four Compilers of Hadith (Imams Abu Dawud, Al-Tirmidhy, Al-Nasa'y and Ibn Majah) except Al-Nasa'y through a Sahih (authentic) Sanad (chain of...

 Invoking the dead and seeking their help is a form of major Shirk Q: What is the ruling on what some ignorant people do by the graves; they invoke the dead, seek their help, and ask them for healing or victory over their enemies? This is noticed in many countries.  A: In the Name of Allah. All praise is due to Allah. This is a form of major Shirk (associating others with Allah in His Divinity or worship), which is the Shirk committed by the earlier Mushriks (those who associate others with Allah in His Divinity or worship) of Quraysh and others. They used to worship Al-Lat, Al-’Uzza, Manat and other idols. They used to invoke them and seek their help against the enemies as Abu Sufyan said on the day of Uhud. [The Prophet told the Companions to reply]: “Say to him (Abu Sufyan), “Allah is our supporter, but you have none." Abu Sufyan then said, “May Hubal be superior!”, where Hubal is the name of the idol worshipped by Quraysh in Makkah. The Prophet (صلى الله عليه وسلم) asked t...
