Gaining as much beneficial knowledge as I can in this dunya about this beautiful deen of Islam. Not just being careful from whom I take knowledge from, but careful of implementing knowledge that comes to me without proofs, so if you have some naseehah, apply proofs InshaAllaah, other than that....I'm a good listener. I crochet and I try to stay in the home as much as possible. Our blessings are in the home sisters (smiles), I have to remind myself of this as well. May Allaah reward us all in our efforts to please Him, Aameen.

I do not watch TV/Movies or listen to music but don't mind sharing my views on them.

"It is not allowed to take pictures of beings that have souls, a rule the compasses cameras and other instruments, with the exception of pictures that are necessary, such as a passport or identity photo."

- from fatawa islamiyah...and as far as music, from the same trusted source;

"It is not allowed to listen to singing and playing musical instruments, since it diverts the listener from the remembrance of Allaah and from prayer, and because hearing it sickens and hardens the heart. Both the Clear Book of Allaah and the Trustworthy Sunnah His Messenger (SalAllaahu alaihe wa sallam) prove its prohibition. Allaah Almighty says in Surah Luqman ayah 6:

"And of Mankind is he who purchases (Lawd Al-Hadith) idle talk to mislead from the Path of Allaah without knowledge."

The majority of scholars of Tafsir as well as others have explained that Lawd Al- Hadith refers to singing and musical instruments. In his Sahih, Al- Bukhari recorded that the Prophet (SalAllaahu alaihe wa sallam) said: "There will be from my Nation a people who will deem fornication, silk (for men), alcohol, and music to be permissible". [Al-Bukhari no. 5590] We ask Allaah to guide and facilitate all of the Muslims to what is right and to protect us from the causes which anger Him." Aameen.

-Proof taken from Fatawa Islamiyah- Ibn Baz

[My Words].."Some may still argue the fact of "naats" or "nasheeds" to be acceptable, or why can't they be if they speak of nothing but good of the religion, which sounds good but we have to worship Allaah as He has legislated for us to, not to add on or take away even if the adding on appears to be an elevation of worship which is actually an innovation and for every innovation is a going astray and the end result of going astray leads to the hellfire, so just because something sounds good to do regarding the deen doesn't mean that it is good without proving it to be a way that Allaah has legislated for us to worship Him, with AUTHENTIC proofs (Quran and Sunnah) and all of that being borderline and finding loopholes(you think you found) only leaves doubt in your heart and doubt comes from the shaitan who is the greatest enemy to mankind and he sits and waits at every point of our lives for the opportunity to lead us astray. HE IS YOUR ENEMY! Don't help your enemy defeat you by following him! So please be careful of what you do here in this life while passing through to our final abode because in the end all the songs you know, sport stats, movie titles and producers and nonsense; any of these worldly waste of times are not going to save you from the fire because at that time, you are only left with your deeds. So be VERY careful what you do here InshaAllaah.None of us are an exception to falling into these things, May Allaah protect us from falling into these things or anything that displeases Him And May Allaah place and/or keep us on a path that will lead us to Jennah, Aameen."

Allaah, The Exalted, states:

"And I (Allaah) created not the jinn and mankind except that they should worship Me (Alone)." (Noble Quran 51:56)

All of that being said, I plan on worshipping Allaah Alone and learning this Deen for the rest of my time passing through this dunya and my advice to you is to help and strive with me InshaAllaah.

May Allaah bless us all with beneficial knowledge, Aameen.

New Shahadah notes (final)

As Salaamu alaikum wa Rahmatullaah
Proceeding with the class notes.
Our brother informs us:
* Shirk is creation worship (to make other than Allaah equal to Allaah in something that Allaah has specific rights over) and contradicts the purpose of life (to single out Allaah alone in all worship)
Islam is the only religion that believes in singling out Allaah alone in all worship. We give the creator his right of worshipping Him alone without ascribing any partner to Him.
　
(we were given the 4 categories of shirk)
4 Categories of Shirk: 1) Shirk Al Akbar (Major Shirk)
- To worship other than Allaah
2) Shirk Al Asghar (Minor Shirk)
3) Shirk Al Jalee (Apparent Shirk)
4) Shirk Al Khaff (Hidden Shirk)
Shirk Al Akbar * expels a person outside the fold of Islam into Kuffir
* not forgiven by Allaah
* will cause a person to reside in the five hells forever
Shirk Al Asghar * shirk that hasn’t reached the level of major shirk.
* the essence of the action is not done for Allaah but a portion of it is done for other than the sake of Allaah.
Shirk Al Jalee * shirk done openly
Shirk Al Khafee * hidden shirk
We separate ourselves from shirk and it’s people. We do not have love for them rather we have love for Tawheed and it’s people.
To be knowledgeable and merciful to the creation is a characteristic of the Muslim and the most merciful thing we can do for the people of shirk is to introduce the purpose of life and have patience with it. (Thus giving dawah)
We grant them peace as we want to be granted peace to worship Allaah.
We weigh everything against our love for Allaah, being careful not to love anything over Him.
We should base our love and hate on what Allaah loves and hates, for the pleasure of Allaah.
(end of class)
　
These are the final class notes, the class was discontinued but was of great benefit to me, the ones who attended and the ones who were informed of the contents of the class, Allaahu Alim.
Please post any comments so we may benefit InshaAllaah.
Please forgive me if I made any mistakes in any of these post. Those mistakes come from myself or the shaitan.
Thanks for listening!
BarakAllaahu feekum and As salaamu alaikum (smiles)
