Assalamualaikum wa Rahmatulahi wa Barakatu ! 

Dedicated to all my lovely Muslimah's who fear Allah ! 

I love you all for the sake of Allah, The Almighty!

Assalamualaikum wa Rahmatulahi wa Barakatu!

"(Iblees (Satan)) said: "O my Lord! Because you misled me, I shall indeed adorn the path of error for them (mankind) on the earth, and I shall mislead them all. Except Your chosen, (guided) slaves among them" (Quran, al-Hijr: 39 – 40)

Not a day goes by without me saying "Alhamdulilah" for the true Blessings and Guidance of Allah Subhanahu wa t'ala. What an honour it truly is to be at His service, submitting only to Him and Him alone, and to call others to Him and to HIM ALONE. 

I wanted to dedicate yet (again) another post, calling all my Muslim sisters (and non-Muslim sisters in humanity) to reflect upon this important issue. I often write about Modesty as it is one of the main problems this Ummah is facing. No doubt, we all can admit, that modesty is disappearing. No doubt we can all admit that the Muslim youth of today's society are all falling into the traps of Shaitan. They idolize celebrities, male models, music bands, and submit themselves to the fashion world of the kafirs. The more they surround themselves with the television the more they become brainwashed by the tactics of Shaitan. The more they submit to Shaitan the more they fall into corruption and utter oppression. The Muslim youth and even mature Muslim woman of today's society are imitating more of what they see on television and less of what they know about the mother of the believers (may Allah be pleased with them all.)

A perfect example I wanted to share with you all, would be those women who get MAKEOVERS. Makeovers are just an example of how oppressed the women of today's society truly are. On television, they dedicate reality shows just to give women makeovers (and Alhamdulilah, I do not own a television, but I know this only because I used to be 'religiously' obsessed with these makeover shows- AstughfurAllah). I would watch these shows, admiring the host, who is usually glammed up with enough makeup, that if you scraped her face with your fingernails, one layer would come off leaving still another two or three on. I admired her rude behavior and the condescending way she would talk down to the guests on the show. I also admired the way she dressed. She looked like some upclass Vegas showgirl who was covered in bling-bling, clingy-clangy bracelets and Louboutins the length of a ruler. I thought this host was a strong, liberated woman who represented society at it's finest (Subhana'Allah). She would dictate to oblivious women who lacked fashion sense, what to wear. She would tell these women that they looked horrible, plain, and unattractive. These women were told that their modesty needed a little "spice" and to "flaunt it if you got it!" Subhana'Allah, is this what society is teaching women these days? To abandon their "makeup-less faces", their modest way of dress, and their housewife/mother duties? Is the television dictating to us that the true woman (obedient modest wife, educated mother, strong foundation of the household) is no longer a real woman? What has the "real woman" become in this 21st century that we live in? Is she that very woman who listens to the talk shows for motherly advice? Is she the woman who takes fashion advice from the scantily clad girl in the music video? Is she the woman who has become liberated and free by showing more skin and having less intellect?

There is a problem here, and it is evident. The job of the fashion host is to give these women a makeover, to strip her old identity and replace it with a newer, 'more fun, carefree, and daring' one. The fashion host tells the 'plain' housewife/mother of three, that she needs to take care of herself and update her wardrobe every week or so and have her 'girl friends' take her out for a 'girls night out on the town.' There is nothing wrong with upkeeping yourself for your husband, there is nothing wrong with inviting your friends over for dinner (keeping it halal), but the lifestyle that the fashion host promotes, is one that corrupts the heart and the household. Of course, kafirs do not see ANY fault in this at all. Their clouded judgement is constantly drowned in confusion from blind following the Shaitan. But what is the excuse then for the Muslim woman? Does she have such an excuse to follow such a lifestyle? Is this what her Lord ordained for her? Is that true obedience to Allah, The Almighty? Obviously the answer is a big NO!

What the Western society CHOOSES to show on television and in the media is something that has flooded the homes of millions and billions of families all over the world. The dangers of the television are silent but lethal. The main theme ranging from music, movies, talk-shows, sitcoms, drama's, and even commercials are based all on one thing and one thing only "sex sells." Aside from deterring one as far away as possible from Allah, it distorts, it disturbs, and it desensitizes one's perception. THIS is one of the deadliest makeovers. Many of us know the plans of Shaitan to lead the slaves of Allah astray :

"(Allah) said: "O Iblees (Satan)! What is your reason for not being among the prostrators?"(Iblees (Satan)) said: "I am not the one to prostrate myself to a human being, whom You created from sounding clay of altered black smooth mud" (Quran, al-Hijr:32 – 33).

“(Iblees) said: ‘Because You have sent me astray, surely, I will sit in wait against them (human beings) on Your straight path. Then I will come to them from before them and behind them, from their right and from their left, and You will not find most of them as thankful ones (i.e. they will not be dutiful to You)’” (Quran, Al-Aaraf: 16,17).

Assalamualaikum wa rahmatulahi wa barakatu! 

While in the middle of working on some new blog posts insha'Allah , I just wanted to share some short but sweet reminders that I found in a book called " The Choice of Every Woman" by: As-Sayyid bin Ahmad Abu Saif. It is beneficial to say the least, and it definitely teaches women of today's society (who love to go against the Islamic rulings to follow their Westernized mentality / desires),  a thing or two. This books for you.
