 About MATAM IN ISLAM RIGHT OR WRONG Matm is a ritual done by Shia Muslims on 10th of Ashoora, in the grief of the Martyr Hussain رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهُ To show their grief they mourn and harm themselves by striking sword on their body or slapping their face and beating their chest. This action of their is unapproved from the Islamic Sources (The Quran & Sunnah) and it is considered as Haram and Bidah (Innovation). The Prophet did not do them, nor did any of his companions. None of his companions did them when he or anyone else died, although the loss of prophet Muhammad was greater than the death of Hussain  رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهُ. Prophet ﷺ,  strictly forbade harming oneself over the loss of someone dear to us and said: "He is not one of us who strikes his cheeks, rends his garment, or cries with the cry of the Jaahiliyyah." (Sahih Bukhari : 1294) Infact these Shia do matm just as a showoff, because the loss of  Hussain (رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهُ) is a lesser loss than the loss of

 MUHARRAM THE MONTH OF ALLAH The month of Allah, al-Muharram, is a great and blessed month. It is the first month of the Hiri year and is one of the sacred months. Literally meaning 'forbidden', Muharram is one of the four sacred months (Dhul Haji, Dhul Qa'dah, and Rajab). According to the Islamic teachings, the month of Muharram is so sacred that certain actions become forbidden during it, as they violate its sanctity. You can better understand the significance It is a month when the rewards for good deeds are multiplied; when the Prophet (saw) encouraged voluntary fasts and described it as the 'sacred month of Allah' What does the Quran say about Muharram?  Verily, the number of months with Allah is twelve months (in a year), so was it ordained by Allah on the Day when He created the heavens and the earth; of them, four are Sacred, (i.e., the 1st, the 7th, the 11th and the 12th months of the Islamic calendar).

The one who despite having lost his father before being born, his mother when he was a child, his grandfather who raised him years later. Then buried six of his children. He taught us to be patient and to have faith in Allah. He never disrespected a woman. When he was at home and there was nothing to eat, he would say to his wife: "i will fast this day."

12 WAYS TO INCREASE RIZQ (PROVISIONS) One of the 99 Names of Allah is Ar-Razzag ( الرَّزَّاقُ ) meaning The Total Provider / The Sustainer. Allah is the One who provides everything we need to live in this world. These are called Rizq, generally meaning Provisions. Rizq is not just wealth and food, but also everything else that you have been blessed with in your life; from people, to assets, to nature, to the clean air you breathe to everything luxurious you possess, materialistically as well as intellectually and spiritually. From the eyes that you are reading this with, to the laptop/phone you are reading this on, to the small pencil that lays unnoticed on your desk, all is from Allah swt. Let's take a look at ways to increase our Rizq. 1.

  Losing Virginity Before Marriage  Loosing virginity before marriage has become kind of common. No I'm not talking about rape. That's totally a different topic. By this topic I mean girl and boy both of them willing to have haram sex. Astaghfirullah After the haram sex most of the time the girl and boy act very innocent. *You know I didn't mean to do it but it just happened! It just doesn't happen like that. It's obvious that you know what you were doing. It's not like you were unconscious and it all happened because of some sort of magic. The truth this that you couldn't control your desire. The Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) Said: "No man is alone with a woman but the Shaytan is the third one present." We should be aware of it. Just imagine your husband/wife had sex with other person. How would you feel? Doesn't it hurt? If yes then how could you do the same thing? How could you cheat your future husband/wife? Are you that heartless? Don't you

 70 Major Sins FORBIDDEN BY ALLAH AND HIS MESSENGER  IN THE QUR 'AN AND THE SUNNAH Major sins are defined as what is forbidden by Allah and His Messenger in the Quran and the Sunnah in addition to what is narrated on the authority of early Muslims.

Allah, the Almighty says, "If you avoid the major sins which you are forbidden, We will remove from you your lesser sins and admit you to a noble entrance [into Paradise]." (Quran - Surah Nisa 4:31) "Those who avoid the major sins and immoralities, only [committing] slight ones. Indeed, your Lord is vast in forgiveness. (Quran - Ash-shura 53:32) 1.

  What is Hell? THE DESCRIPTION OF HELL Who is Hell created for? Hell is the abode which Allaah (ﷻ) has prepared for those who do not believe in Him (ﷺ), those who rebel against His (ﷺ) laws and disbelieve in His Messengers. It is the punishment for His (ﷺ ) enemies, the prison for evildoers. It is the ultimate humiliation and loss; there is nothing worse: "Our Lord! Verily, whom You admit to the Fire, indeed, You have disgraced him, and never will the Dhaalimoon [polytheists and wrongdoers] find any helpers" (Quran 3:192) "Know they not that whoever opposes and shows hostility to Allah and His Messenger, certainly for him will be the fire of Hell to abide therein? That is extreme disgrace". (Quran 9:63) The losers are those who will lose themselves and their families on the Day of Resurrection. Verily, that will be a manifest loss!" (Quran 39:15) Let's learn about Jahannam so it acts as a deterrent whenever we get tempted to sin. The Gates of Hell Allah ﷻ 

  How to Pray Tahajjud? The Best prayer: And rise at "the last" part of the night, offering additional prayers. Quran 17:79 The Prophet ﷺ said: The best prayer after the obligatory (fard) prayers is prayer at night. Sunan an-Nasa'i 1614 How to pray? There is no specific way to pray tahajjud, so a Muslim should pray two rak'ahs by two. How many Rak'ah? Allah's Messenger ﷺ used to offer eleven rak at and that was his prayer, but if anyone does more or less than that, it does not matter. Sahih al-Bukhari 1123 What to recite? There are no specific surahs to be recited in the night prayers; rather the individual may recite whatever he is able to of the Quran. Is it Sunnah? Yes, it is a confirmed Sunnah. The Prophet prayed it and encouraged others to pray. When to pray? It can be prayed at the beginning of the night, in the middle or at the end, although the end is preferable, and the last third of the night is best. The Sunnahs are: 1. To pray eleven Rak'at (Ei

 Conditions For validity of SALAH The beginning of prayer time This is the most important condition. A prayer offered before its time has begun is not valid, according to scholarly consensus, because Allah says in the Quran: "Verily, As-Salah (the prayer) is enjoined on the believers at fixed hours." lal-Nisa 4:103] Covering the "awrah If a person prays with his 'awrah uncovered, his prayer is not valid, because Allah says in the Quran: "O Children of Adam! Take your adornment (by wearing your clean clothes) while praying" lal-A'raf7:31] Taharah (purity) Taharah (purity), which is of two types: purity from ritual impurity (hadath) & purity from tangible impurity (najas). 1. Purity from major and minor ritual impurity (hadath). If a person prays when he is in a state of ritual impurity, then his prayer is invalid according to scholarly consensus, because of the report narrated by al-Bukhari (6954) from Abu Hurayrah (may Allah be pleased with him) fro

He (ﷺ) said, "He is veiled by Light, how could I see Him." (Narrated by Muslim, al-Eeman, 261) It was narrated that Ibn 'Abbaas said: "'The (Prophet's) heart belied not what he saw, and indeed he saw Him at a second descent.

Reference: Jami at-Tirmidhi 757 | Saheeh "These ten davs are better than all the other days of the year, with no exceptions, not even the last ten days of Ramadaan. But the last ten nights of Ramadaan are better, because they include Laylat al-Qadr ("the Night of Power"), which is better than a thousand months." Reference: Tafseer Ibn Katheer, 5/412 The Prophet (ﷺ) said: "There are no days greater in the sight of Allah and in which righteous deeds are more beloved to Him than the first ten days of Dhul Hijjah, so during this time recite a great deal of Tahleel (La ilaaha ill-Allaah), Takbeer (Allahu Akbar) and Tahmeed (Alhamdulillaah)."
