7/31/2015 4 Comments Two Birds In A CageThis Poem is taken from a member of an Islamic Online Forum after taking her permission. Once I came across a parable of two birds in a cage,
Related from a revered scholar, a pious sage. Colourful and free, many a birdsong did they sing, Till the day, a Master came. With him, a cage did he bring. For the birds, that was the beginning of the end, And for us, a profound truth, so our ways we can ammend. From within, the beautiful world outside, did they see, With only one wish, to once again be set free. And thus the world is a prison for those of faith, a challenge to walk upon the path, narrow and straight, The bird with wings doth craves to fly, The human wants to reach every limit beyond the sky. As day gives way to night, much a times does pass, when others flock by, many a questions do the caged birds ask. "Tell me, just like you, how can I be free, the world outside, I long to see" The birds reply, a secret in disguise, a lesson for you and me, "Die before your death, and you shall truly be set free" Two birds in a cage, upon this notion, did they contemplate, A treacherous deception, this world does nothing but intoxicate. And on one fine day, Lay dead, an act they did play. When the Master came he saw naught, but two birds in a cage, dead. From every cavetous and lustful desire has the heart now fled. Thus from the cage the two dead birds were finally removed, within the blink of an eye their life swiftly improved. Once again, they were truly free, To simply be. And for every seeker, striving on the journey of life, each unlawful desire, must be put under the knife. And this was is the parable of the two birds in a cage, related to me by someone I love, a pious sage. By: Bint e Muhammad

7/31/2015 0 Comments Where I Long To Be This Poem is taken from a member of an Islamic Online Forum after taking her permission. Alas! There is a place, where my heart yearns to be,
A city of angels, always enveloped in perpetual peace. No other, can satiate this burning desire, For this honour, I set my every pleasure on fire. Gaze low, empty handed, barefoot, the unseen guiding me, Finished in this moment, there is nowhere, I would rather be. The lovers of the world, find, in each other their delight, Mine eyes doth cry, till I reach my only Haven in sight. Naught but a beggar that sincerely pleas, Unite me those whom You love and have mercy. From the shackles of this tangled web, my soul longs to flee, Yet again, to the city of my Beloved, Madinatun Nabi ﷺ By: Bint e Muhammad 7/20/2015 2 Comments The hijabi and the strangerThis Poem is taken from a member of an Islamic Online Forum after taking her permission.
As she walks down the street Covered from head to feet A stranger stares at her And they want an answer 'Why don't you be like me? Be free and show your beauty Let your hair feel the air Let the world stop and stare' The hijabi listens and gives her reply And she tells the stranger exactly why 'I can show my hair if I want to But I don't want to be like you.' 'I know I am beautiful and worth it I don't need society to dictate it To tell me how to look and act They are only opinions not a fact' The fact is what you see in front of you A woman living for one thing that's true I only live for my creator not a human being He is my lord and creator of everything Stranger, let me ask you a question Why do you want all this attention? Why do you let them cover you in powder? Do you ever ask yourself and wonder? You are always getting oppressed By men that stare and are obsessed With lust and perversion your society runs The problems and struggles are tonnes You try to keep up with their definition of beauty First it's size zero and then it's size infinity Don't worry about me marked up girl Don't lose yourself in this filthy world I am free because that's what I choose to be You are what society wants you to be I will go my way because I want to You can live your path because you want to' ;-) Some people give the 8 Rakaat Taraweeh daleel from a Daeef hadith by Hadhrat Jaber Radhi Allahu Anhu. Lets see what the Muhaqqiq of Saheeh Ibne Hibban Shoaib Arnaut says about it. Very clearly states that it is Daeef : “إسناده ضعيف. عيسى بن جارية ضعيف، قال ابن معين: عنده مناكير، وقال النسائي: منكر الحديث، وجاء عنه: متروك، وقال ابن عدي: أحاديثه غير محفوظة، وقال أبو زرعة: لا بأس به. أبو الرسغ الزهراني: هو سليمان بن داود العتكي، ويعقوب القمي: هو ابن عبد اللهالأشعري. وأخرجه المروزي في “قيام الليل وكتاب الوتر” كما في “مختصره ” للمقريزي، ص 118 عن إسحاق بن إبراهيم، بهذا الإِسناد. وأخرجه الطبراني في “الصغير” (525) ، وابن خزيمة (1070) ، من طريق يعقوب القمي، بهذا الإِسناد. قال الهيثمي في “المجمع” 3/172: فيه عيسى بن جارية وثقه ابن حبان، وضعفه ابن معين. وسيرد برقم(2415) ” Also check: 1. Imam ibn A’adi r.h states: The hadith that is narrated by Isa Bin Jaariya is “not” preserved. ( Tehzeeb At Tehzeeb : 186 /8 , Tehzeeb Al Kamaal : 533 , 534 /14 , Mizaan Ul Aitedaal : 311/3) 2. Imam Aqeeli r.h has classified Isa Bin Jaariya amoungst Da’eef(weak) narrators. (Tehzeeb At Tehzeeb : 186 /8 , Tehzeeb Al Kamaal : 533 , 534 /14 , Mizaan Ul Aitedaal : 311/3)  In the blessed month of Ramadan people try there best to attend the Taraweeh Salaah and they should also do the same with Tahajjud Salaah during Ramadan since both of them are separate and are not the same. Some people claim that they are the same but that is not the truth and in this post we will see some of the daleel that they are both separate from one another. 1 –Hadhrat Umar Al Farooq Rdh. Al Mutawaffa 23 Hij. Hadhrat Ameer ul Momineen Umar bin Khattab Rdh. Al Mutawaffa 23 Hij. says: The prayer for which you sleep (meaning Tahajjud) is Afzal (better) than the one for which you are doing Qayyam (meaning Taraweeh) (Saheeh Bukhari : Hadith No. 2010)  Hadhrat Umar Rdh. is encouraging us to offer Tahajjud as well after Taraweeh, since it is a permanent prayer. This is the reason that the Muhaddiseen have classified Taraweeh and Tahajjud separately and have also stated it very clearly.
a. - Imam Abul Wali Sulaimaan al Baaji al Qurtubi Rh. Al Mutawaffa 474 Hij. Says about the saying of Hadhrat Umar Rdh. that the Qiyaam in the later part of the night is superior (Afzal) then the part of night in which Qiyaam was before it. (Al Muntaqa Lil Baaji : Volume 1 : Page 208) Some people say that the dua اللَّهُمَّ لَكَ صُمْتُ، وَعَلَى رِزْقِكَ أَفْطَرْتُ is not proven from Prophet Muhammad ﷺ and the hadith which has these words is weak (Daeef). Below is the Daleel and Analysis on this issue: 1. حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ فُضَيْلٍ، حَدَّثَنَا حُصَيْنٌ، عَنْ أَبِي زُهْرَةَ، قَالَ: كَانَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ إِذَا صَامَ، ثُمَّ أَفْطَرَ يَقُولُ: «اللَّهُمَّ لَكَ صُمْتُ، وَعَلَى رِزْقِكَ أَفْطَرْتُ» In the above hadith, it is mentioned by Abu Zohra Rh. that when it s time for Iftaar, they recited: اللَّهُمَّ لَكَ صُمْتُ، وَعَلَى رِزْقِكَ (Ad- Duaa Liz Zabbai : Hadith No 66)  |
