There is very important rule in Ossol fikh that says the rules have the ruling of the method. This is breakdown of the rule:

1- The tools to reach a mandatory is mandatory

2- The tools to reach Haram is Haram

The same apply for Sunnah and Mostahab:

Now what does that mean? I will give an example

Joking, talking and being nice is Halal it is even could be Mostahab but it become Haram when talking to strangers, why? because people who have diseases in their hearts could misinterpret it. I remember a guy every girl walks beside him, has smiled for him!!! now imagine if it is really happen, he would think she fail in love with him... This Aya is from the quran in verse 32 in Surat Alahzab. This apply to anything else, mixing with each other, joking online. I joke just with guys.

Another example, computer is Halal but if it cause you Fitnah then it is Haram to use it, try to use it in a cafe. Another example especially for reverts, it is Halal to stay with your parents but if this going to make you give up parts of your religion you HAVE to find a way to move out.

The second rule I was talking with it the other day with some students of Knowledge one of them may Allah reward him got one of the best averages in the country and he could ve go to medicine school or any school he wants but he chose Sharea. He memorized a poem contains 1000 lines in rules of Arabic while he was doing his final year at school another guy memorized the Quran in that year. In this year 70% of Jordan FAIL the test they got 97% and 91%.

We have to do our BEST to avoid sins, no excuse and our BEST to do the Wajib. Our best means put all of our efforts, try every door and put the deen as priority. My daleel was the previous rule, Qyas and this verse 97 in Surat al Nisa which means that the angels would blame the people who died as disbelievers why did you die like that, they will respond we were forced, they will tell them, wasnot the land of Allah wide enough to move to another place? The same thing for people who are missing parts of their religion because of their country. They agreed with me except one.

Enter Heaven not Paradise, I edit it but sometimes it does not show.

Our prophet prayers and peace be upon him said in an authentic hadeeth that there is a part in the human if it is good then all the actions are good and if it is bad then all the actions are bad which is the heart. May Allah purify all of our hearts ameen.

Ibn Alqyem said that the origin of sins are 3, and I will add one.

Arrogance: Which made Iblees disobey Allah

Greedy or Loving to own or get things (it is hard to translate it) which made Adam listen to Iblees and leave Jennah

Envy which made one of the sons of Adam kill his brother

This is what Ibn Alqayem said:
My comments on these that also Arrogance would made the person sees himself always right so he or she would not change
Greedy will make you blind and just wanting the thing in any way whether it is right or wrong Haram or Hallal
Envy will turn to hate and in a Hadeeth our prophet prayers and peace be upon him said Envy burn Hassanat like fire burning wood

I will add lieing and being not honest which is in my opinion the origin of all of these because if the person is honest:
1- Wont be able to be arrogant because all the bounties that she or he has from Allah
2- Wont envy anybody because he or she knows that the rizq from Allah
3- Wont be greedy because he or she knows that greedy people will never get full.

There is a huge different between admitting that we are wrong and between convincing ourselfes that we are wrong, though in both situation we could still be doing what we are doing without making any changes. If I am doing something wrong and admit it, eventually I will leave it inshalah after raising my faith, being sincere and putting the effort. In the other case I have convinced myself that I am right so nothing would change.

For the segregation there is different between communicating between Males and Females and segregation. If you are asking the grocery guy on a spicies location is different than sitting as a "family" with your non Muhrams for hours. PLS DONT TELL ME I GET EMBARRASSED which is more important pleasing Allah or pleasing people. Allah said in a Hadeeth who is seeking to please people in disobeying me I will make people not satisfied and I will be not satisfied, and if he pleases me, even if people are not satisfied with him/her I will be pleased with him and people will be.

Force your Islamic Identity, people will get use to it. My uncle does not even pray and if he wants to invite me, he will make the whole thing separated though non of them care about these things, otherwise I wont go.

Now the Proves from the Quran and Sunnah:

In Bukhari Om Salama narrated that after prayers men would wait after it is done and I see that, Allah knows more, to not mixed with us when we leave.

In Abu Dawood they made a door just for women so they dont mix with men.

In Abu Dawood it was narrated in a HASSAN hadeeth that the prophet prayers and peace be upon him was walking and saw men and women are mixing so he ordered the women to walk on the sides.

In the Quran there is a verse that says dont GET CLOSE to ZINA. Allah did not say, do not commit zina but dont even get close to it.

Allah also said in the Quran do not follow the steps of Shaytan

we have to do our BEST to avoid committing a sin, make dua and be sincere.



Now dont tell me this is just in the Masjids. There something in Fiqh called Qyass. So if the COMPANIONS did not mix in the masjid or while going out side then they should not mix in the living room while teenagers are staring at each other. This is sobhanalah weird then after sitting in mixed gathering for hours one of them complain that a male that is staring at her or a female is staring at him!!! One time I opened a door and one of the famous "Shaikhs" was sitting with a woman alone in his office. Our rules for EVERYBODY including the companions so what about Imams?...

Sisters YOU are the one who is going to pay the penalty of mixing with males. Our religion is clear so dont complain about the results if you dont follow Allahs orders. Muslims ARE NOT ANGELS and this religion for human not angels.

This SHOULD BE ENOUGH for Muslims who submit to Allahs command but here are few examples on the consequences:

In the MSA gathering in orange county 4 years ago, a sister lost her virginity there!!! Yes it all started with a smile, Salam Alikom Sister, Salam Alikom brother then few days later in the bedroom. Both of them cried after that and regret it but guess what the guy did not lose his virginity. Our deen protect you just follow it.

Another example:

30,000 female solders got sexually harassed in the U.S army JUST last year. They are equal so why did not 30,000 males got harassed. We are equal in rights but different. May Allah guide all of us and hold us steadfast on the religion.

Sha’baan is the name of the (eighth) month, and it is so called because in this month the Arabs used to disperse (tasha’aba) in search of water, or it was said that they dispersed to carry out raids and forays. Or it was said that it is so called because it sha’aba (branches out or emerges) i.e., it appears between the months of Rajab and Ramadan. The plural forms of the word Sha’baan are Sha’baanaat and Sha’aabeen.


Fasting in Sha’baan

‘Aa’ishah (may Allaah be pleased with her) said: “The Messenger (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) used to fast until we thought he would never break his fast, and not fast until we thought he would never fast. I never saw the Messenger of Allaah fasting for an entire month except in Ramadan, and I never saw him fast more than he did in Sha’baan.” [Agreed upon]

According to a report narrated by Muslim, “He used to fast all of Sha’baan, he used to fast all but a little of Sha’baan.”

«كان يصوم شعبان كله. كان يصوم شعبان إلا قليلا» رواه مسلم

A group of scholars, including Ibn al-Mubaarak and others, thought that the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) did not fast all of Sha’baan, but he fasted most of it. This is supported by a report in Saheeh Muslim narrated from ‘Aa’ishah (may Allaah be pleased with her), who said: “I never knew of him -meaning the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him)- fasting for any entire month apart from Ramadan.”

«ما صام رسول الله عليه وسلم شهرا كاملا قط غير رمضان» رواه مسلم

According to another report also narrated by Muslim, ‘Aa’ishah said: “I never saw him fast for any entire month from the time he came to Madeenah, apart from Ramadan.”

«...شهرا متتابعا منذ قدم المدينة» رواه مسلم

It was reported that Ibn ‘Abbaas said: “The Messenger of Allaah (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) did not fast any entire month apart from Ramadan.” [Bukhaari, no. 1971]

رواه البخاري«ما صام النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم شهرا كاملا قط غير رمضان»

Ibn ‘Abbaas regarded it as makrooh to fast any entire month apart from Ramadan. Ibn Hajar (may Allaah be pleased with him) said: “He observed more voluntary fasts in Sha’baan than in any other month, and he used to fast most of Sha’baan.”

Usaamah ibn Zayd (may Allaah be pleased with them both) said: “I said, ‘O Messenger of Allaah, I do not see you fasting in any other month like you fast in Sha’baan.’ He said, ‘That is a month to which people do not pay attention, between Rajab and Ramadan, and it is a month in which deeds are lifted up to the Lord of the Worlds. I like for my deeds to be lifted up when I am fasting.” [Reported by Nasaa’i and authenticated by Al-Albani]

«يا رسول الله! لم ارك تصوم شهرا من الشهور ما تصوم من شعبان؟! قال: ذلك شهر يغفل الناس عنه، بين رجب ورمضان، وهو شهر ترفع فيه الأعمال إلى رب العالمين، فأحب أن يرفع عملي وأنا صائم» رواه النسائي وصححه الألباني

According to a report narrated by Abu Dawood she (‘A’isha) said: “The most beloved of months for the Messenger of Allaah (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) to fast in was Sha’baan, and his fasting in Sha’baan was continuous with his fasting in Ramadan.” [Classed as saheeh by al-Albaani, see Saheeh Sunan Abi Dawood, 2/461]

«كان أحب الشهور إلى رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم أن يصومه شعبان ثم يصله برمضان» رواه أبو داود وصححه الألباني

Ibn Rajab (may Allaah have mercy on him) said: “Fasting in Sha’baan is better than fasting in the Sacred Months, and the best of voluntary fasts are those that are (observed in the months) closest to Ramadan, before or after. The status of these fasts is like that of al-Sunan al-Rawaatib which are done before and after fard (prayers) and which make up for any shortfall in the number of obligatory prayers. The same applies to fasts observed before and after Ramadan. Just as al-Sunan al-Rawaatib are better than other kinds of voluntary prayers, so fasts observed (in the months) before and after Ramadan are better than fasts at other times.

The phrase “Sha’baan is a month to which people do not pay attention, between Rajab and Ramadan” indicates that because it comes between two important months, the Sacred Month of Rajab and the month of fasting, people are preoccupied with those two months and they do not pay attention to Sha’baan. Many people think that fasting in Rajab is better than fasting in Sha’baan, because Rajab is one of the Sacred Months, but this is not the case.

In the hadeeth quoted above there is an indication that even though certain times, places and people may be commonly thought to possess a particular virtue, there may be others that are better than them.

It also indicates that it is mustahabb to make good use of the times when people tend to be negligent, by doing acts of worship. A group of the Salaf used to fill the time between Maghrib and ‘Isha’ with prayer, saying that it was a time when many people were negligent. Another example is the remembrance of Allaah (dhikr) in the marketplace, because this means one is remembering Him in a place where people tend to be negligent and among people who are negligent.

There are a number of benefits that come from making good use of times when people are often negligent, and using these times for worship, including the following:

It is more concealing of one’s good works, and hiding and concealing naafil actions is better, especially fasting, because it is a secret between a slave and his Lord. Hence it was said that there is no element of showing off in fasting. One of the Salaf used to fast for years without anybody knowing about it; he would go from his home to the marketplace carrying two loaves of bread, which he would give away in charity, and he would fast. His family thought that he ate the bread, whilst the people in the marketplace thought that he had eaten at home. The Salaf thought it was mustahabb for a person who was fasting to do things that would conceal the fact that he was fasting. It was reported that Ibn Mas’ood said: “When you get up in the morning and you are fasting, then apply perfume.” Qutaadah said: “It is mustahabb for the [man] who is fasting to apply perfume so that there will be no sign that he is fasting.”

By the same token, doing righteous deeds at times when people are distracted and negligent is more difficult. One of the indications of how virtuous a deed is, is how difficult it is: if everyone is doing a certain action, it is easy, but if most people are negligent, this makes it more difficult for those who do remember Allaah. Muslim narrated from the hadeeth of Ma’qil ibn Yassaar: “The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said: Worship at times of tribulation (fitnah) is like Hijrah to me.”

«العبادة في الهرج، كهجرة إلي» رواه مسلم

The phrase “worship at times of tribulation” refers to times of upheavals and trials, when people follow their own desires, and those who adhere to Islam are doing something difficult.

The scholars differed as to the reasons why the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) fasted so much in Sha’baan. Their various opinions were as follows:

That he had been unable to fast three days out of every month because he was travelling or for some other reason, so he made them all up together in Sha’baan. When the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) began to do some naafil action, he would persist in it, and if he missed it, he would make it up later.

It was said that his wives used to make up the days that they missed of Ramadan in Sha’baan, so he used to fast because of that. This is the opposite of what was reported from ‘Aa’ishah, that she used to delay making up days that she had missed in Ramadan until Sha’baan because she was too busy with the Messenger of Allaah (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) to fast.

It was said that it was because this is a month which people do not pay attention to. This is the most correct view, because of the hadeeth of Usaamah quoted above, in which it says: “That is a month to which people do not pay attention, between Rajab and Ramadan.” [Reported by Nasaa’i and authenticated by Al-Albani]

«ذلك شهر يغفل الناس عنه، بين رجب ورمضان» رواه النسائي وصححه الألباني

When Sha’baan began, if the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) still had some voluntary fasts outstanding that he had not fasted, he would make them up during Sha’baan so that his naafil fasts would be complete before Ramadan came. Similarly, if he had missed some Sunnah prayers or he had missed Qiyaam al-Layl, he would make it up. ‘Aa’ishah used to make the most of this opportunity to make up any obligatory Ramadan fasts that she had missed because of menstruation; during other months she was too busy with the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) to fast. We should also note here that anyone who has any missed fasts to make up has to make them up before the next Ramadan comes. It is not permissible to delay it until after the following Ramadan except in cases of necessity (such as a valid excuse that continues between the two Ramadans). Whoever is able to make them up before the (second) Ramadan and does not do so, has to make them up after the (second) Ramadan and in addition to that, he has to repent and to feed one poor person for each day that he missed. This is the view of Maalik, al-Shaafa’i and Ahmad.

Another benefit of fasting in Sha’baan is that it is a kind of training for the Ramadan fast, in case a person finds it difficult to fast when Ramadan starts; if he fasts in Sha’baan he will have gotten used to fasting and he will feel strong and energetic when Ramadan comes. Sha’baan is like an introduction to Ramadan and it has some things in common with Ramadan, such as fasting, reciting Qur’aan and giving in charity. Salamah ibn Suhayl used to say: “The month of Sha’baan is the month of reciters (of the Qur’aan).” Habeeb ibn Abi Thaabit used to say, when Sha’baan came, “This is the month of reciters (of the Qur’aan).” When Sha’baan came, ‘Amr ibn Qays al-Malaa’i used to close his store and devote his time to reading the Qur’aan.


Fasting at the End of Sha’baan

It was reported in al-Saheehayn from ‘Imraan ibn Husayn (may Allaah be pleased with him) that the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said to a man, “Have you fasted anything of the sirar of this month?” He said, “No.” He said: “If you have not fasted, then fast two days.” According to a report narrated by al-Bukhaari: I think he meant Ramadan. According to a report narrated by Muslim, (the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him)) said: “Have you fasted anything of the sirar of Sha’baan?” [Narrated by al-Bukhaari, 4/2000; Muslim, no. 1161]

«يا أبا فلان، أما صمت سرر هذا الشهر. قال: أظنه قال: يعني رمضان، قال الرجل: لا يا رسول الله، قال: فإذا أفطرت فصم يومين. لم يقل الصلت: أظنه يعني رمضان. قال أبو عبد الله: وقال ثابت، عن مطرف، عن عمران، عن النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم: من سرر شعبان» رواه البخاري، وفي رواية لمسلم «أصمت من سرر شعبان؟»

There was some dispute as to the meaning of the word siraar. The most well-known view is that it refers to the end of the month. The end of the month is called siraar because the moon is hidden (istisraar) at that time. Someone may raise the point that it was reported in al-Saheehayn from Abu Hurayrah (may Allaah be pleased with him) that the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said: “Do not pre-empt Ramadan by one or two days, except for those who have the habit of fasting regularly, in which case they may fast.” [Reported by Muslim, no. 1082]

رواه مسلم«لا تقدموا رمضان بصوم يوم ولا يومين. إلا رجل كان يصوم صوما، فليصمه»

How can we reconcile the hadeeth which encourages fasting at this time with the hadeeth which says not to fast at this time? The answer is: many of the scholars and most of those who commented on this hadeeth said: this man to whom the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) addressed this question was known to have the habit of fasting regularly, or else he had made a vow, so the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) commanded him to make up his fast. There are also other points of view on this issue. In brief we may say that there are three scenarios for fasting at the end of Sha’baan.

The first scenario is when a person fasts at the end of Sha’baan with the intention of being on the safe side and not missing the first day of Ramadan. This is forbidden.

The second scenario is when a person fasts with the intention of fulfilling a vow or of making up a day of Ramadan that he missed or as an act of expiation (kafaarah), etc. This is permissible according to the majority.

The third scenario is when this is purely a voluntary fast. This is regarded as makrooh by those who said that we should differentiate between Sha’baan and Ramadan by not fasting for a while. Among those who said this was al-Hasan. If it happens to coincide with a day when a person habitually fasts, Maalik and those who agreed with him permitted this, but al-Shaafa’i, al-’Oozaa’i, Ahmad and others made a distinction between cases where it is a fast which a person habitually observes or otherwise.

In conclusion, the hadeeth of Abu Hurayrah quoted above is what we should follow according to the majority of scholars. It is makrooh to observe a voluntary fast one or two days before Ramadan for those who do not habitually fast on those days and who have not previously fasted until the end of Sha’baan. It may be asked: why is it makrooh to fast just before Ramadan (for those who do not have a prior habit of fasting)? The answer is that there are a number of reasons why this is so, such as:

Firstly: lest extra days be added to the fast of Ramadan that are not part of it. Fasting on the day of Eid is prohibited for the same reason, lest we fall into the same trap as the People of the Book with regard to fasting, as they added to their fasts because of their own whims and desires.

For the same reason it is also forbidden to fast on the “day of doubt”. ‘Ammaar said: whoever fasts on this day has disobeyed Abu’l-Qaasim (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him).

The “day of doubt” is a day when people are not sure whether it is Ramadan or not, when news of the sighting of the crescent moon comes from one whose word cannot be accepted. As for a cloudy day, some of the ‘ulamaa’ said that this was also a ‘day of doubt’ and said that fasting was not allowed on this day. This is the view of the majority.

Secondly: to make a distinction between fard (obligatory) fasts and naafil (supererogatory) fasts, because making a clear distinction between fard actions and naafil actions is prescribed in Islam. Hence it is haraam to fast on the day of Eid, and the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) forbade following an obligatory prayer immediately with another prayer unless they are separated by saying salaam or speaking, especially in the case of the Sunnah prayer performed just before Fajr. It is prescribed to make a clear separation between this prayer and the obligatory prayer. Hence it is prescribed to pray it at home and to lie down afterwards.

When the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) saw a man praying at the time when the iqaamah had been given for Fajr, he said to him: “Al-Subh is four rak’ahs.” [Narrated by al-Bukhaari, no. 663]

«أن رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم رأى رجلا وقد أقيمت الصلاة، يصلي ركعتين، فلما انصرف رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم لاث به الناس، وقال له رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم: الصبح أربعا، الصبح أربعا» رواه البخاري

Some ignorant people may think that the reason why we do not fast just before Ramadan is so that we can make the most of eating and have our fill of our desires before we have to deny ourselves by fasting. This is an ignorant mistake on the part of those who think this. And Allaah knows best.

Think which is more important to disobey Allah or to put some effort. YOU HAVE TO DO ALL OF THEM DONT MISS ANY PLS. This will show if you are senscere in quitting this bad habbet. First you need to know this is a form of Zina because our prophet prayers and peace be upon him said in an authentic hadeeth that the eyes commit zina by looking to the haram, For the person who made the thread that he was caught watching this I would care more about what Allah thinks. Dont give a damn excuse my language about what people think about you. Repent immediately!! For your reputation say Allah accept the Tawba from his salves and accepts charity as in the Aya, you are a human and you fall. All of the following steps are taken from the Quran, the Sunah and "QYAS"

The most important part is ASK ALLAH for help. Allah holds our hearts and Allah can make you stead fast which Allah mention this in many verses such in Surat Mohamamd so being strong as Muslims comes to Allah first then our well to be strong and change.

1- I was disscussing this topic with some students of knowledge the other day, and my opinion is if you fear about yourself it is HARAM to stay by yourself with the computer, TV or Phone. Leave your laptop at work or in the car. When you need something go to an internet cafe it worth the effort. The most knowledge among them agreed with me but he said if this does not happen to you then it is OK, which I also agree with.

2- If you cant fast avoid fatty food with a lot of calories try to limit it to 2500 calories use my fitness pal.

3- workout including running to use a lot of energy weight lifting is not enough to use the energy. DONT GO TO THE GYM IF IT IS MIXED. I used to run in a high school track when I used to live in the U.S. For sisters you can do rope jumping it is an excellent cardio. It is hard at first but it will become a lot easier within a month inshalah.

4- Pray two rakas at night this is a must there is a hadeeth that this will help avoiding fitnah.

5- Lower your gaze when you are out.

6- Finally push your self to get married and dont be picky just look for deen and look that you would accept not a model just something that you would accept.

7- Invest your time in beneficial stuff, Ibn Taymya said who is not busy with something good, his NAFS will make him get busy with a sin.

If you follow those steps THERE IS NO WAY you will fall again inshalah. Dont trick yourself and say it is OK to leave one. Do all of them and be sincere and ask yourself which is important being lazy or disobeying almighty Allah. Remember Allah said in the quran in which means, tell my servants who committed a lot of sins dont lose hope from the mercy of Allah, Allah forgive all the sins. But we have to repent and do what we can not to fall in this again.
