Qur’an, Sunnah and the Understanding of the Salaaf
O you who are patient! Bear a little more, just a little more remains.
Ibnul-Qayyim al-Jawziyyah رحمه الله
Al-Fawaa’id Page 119, English Translation]
O Allaah! Establish for this Ummah an affair in which the people of obedience are honoured and people of sin are abased, in which good is enjoined and evil forbidden. O Allaah! Make us thankful for Your blessing. O Allaah! Make us Your sincere worshippers and followers of Your Messenger Salallaahu ‘ alaihi wasallam. O Lord of the Worlds! All praises are for Allaah, and the peace and blessings be upon our Prophet Muhammad Salallaahu ‘ alaihi wasallam, his family and all his companions.
Shaykh ibn Uthaymeen رحمه الله, Taken from a sermon found on the Shaykh’s website | Translated by Abu al-Hasan Malik Adam al-Ahkdar | (Article: Bewar of the Fitnah of Women.)
”It is shameful, upsetting and disappointing that many muslim women today expose their bodies.”

The Story of Umm Sulaym
The Prophet (صلى الله عليه و سلم) said:
“I entered Paradise, and heard footsteps.
So I said, ‘Who is this?’ and they told me, ‘It is al-Ghumaysa’ (رضي الله عنها), the daughter of Milhan, the mother of Anas ibn Malik (رضي الله عنه) (Umm Sulaym (رضي الله عنها)).”
[Ṣaḥiḥ Muslim]
O successful woman, may Allah fragrance your life with knowledge and Eemaan, your time with obedience and awareness of Him, and may He beautify your body with
covering and modesty.

Concealing Pregnancy due to Fearing the Evil Eye.
Question: Is it permissible for a woman to not inform her family—her uncle, her cousins or her friends—that she is pregnant, because she fears the evil eye or magic?
Answer: Informing others about these matters was not known among the Salaf (the first and best generation of Muslims). When a woman became pregnant she would not spread her business among the people, and this is not incumbent upon her to begin with. Furthermore; those that know you are pregnant cannot harm you if you are from those who are diligent in saying the remembrance of the evening and the morning. This safeguards the person from a great deal of evil and protects them from many predicaments. And Allah knows best.
Shaykh Salim Bamehriz
Translated by Rasheed ibn Estes Barbee
“When the knowledge one possesses is contrary to his actions, then the knowledge is a proof against the servant, and such a person resembles those whose Allāh’s anger is upon, the Jews. They were called, “those whose Allāh’s anger is upon” because they did not act upon the knowledge which they possessed.”
Likewise, when actions are without knowledge, ignorance and confusion enters the worship; such a person resembles the Christians because they (i.e. the Christians) worship Allāh upon ignorance and misguidance.
