Tweet

As Salaamu Alaikum Wa Rahmatullahi Wa Barakatuh! I hope this finds you close to Allah & in the best of health and Iman.

I listened to a sisters only class that Fareed Abdullah gave.  I took notes which are listed below.  If you would like to listen to the MP3 Audio online, CLICK HERE.

1.  Tawheed & Ibadah (Worship)

* To worship Allah alone
* 3 conditions for acceptance of Good Deeds
     1. To be Muslim
     2. To have Sincerity (Ikhlas), only done for Allah
     3. Done according to Quran & Sunnah
* Know 99 names of Allah, understand them & believe them

2.  That women are honored in Islam & are given rights

* That the woman should be treated kindly & with respect, not oppressed
* Keep yourself properly covered with clean & untorn clothes when going outside, it's a protection
* Watch how you act in public, the Kufr are watching you
* Women are precious in Islam, like pears from the sea

3.  To learn this deen & spend your time wisely

* Learn proper hijab
* Learn how to dress in front of different people (i.e. friends, neighbors, family, etc)
* Do things to please Allah first & your husband will love you even more
* Single sisters & married sisters without children should use time wisely, study as much as you can before the children come into the picture
* Learn your deen

4.  Guarding of the tongue

* No Gossip
* No Backbiting
* Participating in Gossip & Backbiting are like eating the flesh of your dead brother
* If a sister comes to you to Gossip or Backbite and you don't stop her, it's as if the sister is giving you a plate of this dead flesh.  You should instead run/walk away or firmly tell the sister to stop.
* Be selective who you hang with or take as friends.  Choose only pious & righteous sisters who will help get you to Jannah.
* Set a good example for your daughters, they are watching you and will follow your ways.

5.  To assume responsibilities as a Muslimah, Wife, Mother, etc.

* Follow Allah's commands
* Be a righteous wife - be chaste, modest & lower your gaze in public, obey your husband
* Don't assume what your husband is doing when he's not around
* When a husband & wife are having problems, remember that he is also your brother in Islam and the father of your children.  Many sisters are nasty to their husbands & forget he has rights.
* Don't reveal the secrets of your husband &/or home
* Help each other to overcome your shortcomings & struggles
* Remember that every couple fights, argue in a productive way, not a way that will destroy your marriage
* Help each other to become better Muslims
* Don't be clickish

6.  The woman & her role in the household

* Be kind & pleasant at home
* Have patience, tolerance & forebearance through trials & tests, don't complain
* Encourage your husband to do Good Deeds
* Be humble & help those in need

Interpretation of meaning in Urdu

"Aye mere Rabb!
Mujhe taufeeq inaayat kijiye
ki jo ehsaan Aapne mujh par
aur mere waaldain par kiye hain
unka shukr adaa karoon

Aap unse khush ho jaayein;
aur mujhe Apni Rahmat se
Apne nek bandon mein dakhil farmaiye."

Grant me the power and the ability

among Your righteous slaves."

1. Our Knowledge .

Wasted by not taking action with it.

 

2. Our Actions:

Wasted by committing them with out sincerity.

Wasted by using on things that will not bring us Ajr. We waste our money, our status, our authority, on things which have no benefit in this life or in akhirah.

 

4. Our Hearts:

Wasted because they are empty from the love of Allah, and the feeling of longing to go to Him, and a feeling of peace and contentment. In it’s place, our hearts are filled with something or someone else.

 

5. Our Bodies:

Wasted because we don’t use them in Ibadah (worship) and service of Allah.

  

6. Our Love:

Our emotional love is misdirected, not towards Allah but towards something/someone else.

 

7. Our Time:

Wasted, not used properly, to compensate for that which had passed, by doing what is righteous to make up for past deeds.

  

8. Our Intellect:

Wasted on things that are not beneficial, that are detremental to society and the individual, not in contemplation or reflection.

 

9. Our Service:

Wasted in service of someone who will not bring us closer to Allah, or benefit in this dunyaa.

  

10. Our Dhikr:

Wasted, because it does not effect us or our hearts.
