Chill Yo Islam Yo

Salam,

Mashallah! May Allah swt reward Imam Khalid Khatif and all the Muslim officers, Ameen.

I like when the NYPD official said in the video how when you need a cop to help you, you don’t ask him what religion he is. It all comes down to serving your country and being a productive member of society. Imam Khalid Latif is an Imam (Muslim leader) for the NYPD. He is the youngest police chaplain in the history of the NYPD, and the only Muslim leader on the entire state force. 

So everyone who has built a hate for Muslims and Islam in their heart, now you should take it easy because the next time you need help, it may be Imam Khalid Latif or another Muslim officer. This of course applies to Muslims who call non Muslim cops for help also.

All of you brothers and sisters from the UK that spend wisely and don’t live beyond your financial means, you now can get a credit card that’s shariah complaint.

Mashallah, I’ve been waiting for something like this, too bad it’s not available in the U.S. yet. I currently have a chase debit card, used to be Washington Mutual but they went bankrupt. Anyway my debit card can be used as a MasterCard, but it doesn’t effect my credit.With this shariah compliant credit card, you swipe only when you put money on the card and it counts towards your credit score.

So how exactly does the Cordoba Gold Shariah compliant Mastercard work? Read below.

From cordobagold.com

The new Cordoba Gold works like a pay-as-you-go mobile phone - you can only ever spend what you have topped up onto your card, so there is no risk of overspending or getting yourself into debt, and you don’t get monthly bills.

There is no credit with Cordoba Gold , so there is no credit check!

As long as you are a UK resident and you are aged 18 years or over, you will be accepted for a Cordoba Gold personalized Cordoba Gold card. So even if you have never used a credit card or you don’t have a bank account, you can have your own.

I thought another condition for having the card was yoou have to be Muslim to get it? Joke. Anyways, we all know how credit cards come at you like shatan when your a fresh college student.

Well if your getting tempted to get a credit card, all I have to say it don’t get caught up with the nufsi nufsi impulse buying mentality,only buy something if you can afford it right there and then. It’s all about keeping it real with yourself, don’t try to act like your living a baller lifestyle if you don’t have the halal guap. Oh, guap means money in Brooklyn.

Enough slang, have a nice day and go give your zakat. Being cheap is haram =)

Salam,

While everyone is waiting for Baba Ali to launch halfourdeen.com, seems like baitulnikah.com already got the head start for the first halal Muslim marriage website.

I haven’t used it because I’m not trying to get married right now, but all you brothers and sisters that are fed up with shatan and are serious about getting married can try it out. Inshallah after you experience it, let others know how halal it really is. (Drop a comment below the post)

I really like the flash on the site along with the unique look, talk about setting standards for Islamic sites.

So who started baitulnikah.com and why?

It’s actually a brother named - Kassim Muhammad, Sr. (Founder & CEO)

Here is a message from the founder taken from the official site, also see the about the website below.

As-Salaamu-Alaikum! I’ve been married since I was 18 years old. My first marriage didn’t work out. She was a new Shahada, her parents were non-Muslim and they made it extremely difficult for her to practice Islam. Because of that, our marriage suffered. I re-married again at age 20 and I’ve been married to the same woman for the last 13-years and Alhamdulilah we have 7 children. 4 boys and 1 girl who are here now and then two more on the way insha-Allah (twins!) – One boy and 1 girl. Allahu-Akbar!

I know that finding someone isn’t easy. I was blessed to have a friend of the family introduce me to my wife and her family. It was truly a blessing from Allah. He made it easy for the both of us, but most times it doesn’t work out like that nowadays and that’s why I created BaitulNikah.com

I take this privilege of helping you find YOUR special someone very seriously. Although I can’t promise a happy ending, my goal is to build the world’s largest video matrimonial network for Muslims and to keep my service Halal. If I can help you find someone to marry, to fall in love with, to hang out and have fun with, to have a bunch of kids with, to increase the ummah and help each other get to Jenna … well then I did my job. That is my vision for Baitul Nikah!

Baitul Nikah is not a faceless corporation. You can trust that there is a completely Muslim staff here, who practices Quran and Sunna, running the day-to-day operations of Baitul Nikah and it is our passion to help you succeed in finding a husband or a wife to complete your deen, insha-Allah. Shukran for using Baitul Nikah and always feel free to message me directly on our blog.

Mashallah, I read a beautiful hadith today. It was actually quoted in a book called “Treatise on Maqasid al- Shari’ah by the great 20th century Zaytuna scholar Shaikh Muhammad AL-Tahir ibn Ashur ( May Allah swt have mercy on him). 

Check it out (Narrated in Sahih Muslim that Abu Hurayrah reported)

The poor amongst the emigrants came to the Messenger of God (May peace and blessings be upon him) and said: ” The possessors of great wealth (ahl al-duthur) have attained the highest ranks and lasting bliss.” He the Prophet(s) said “How is that?” They said; They pray as we pray, and they observe the fast as we observe the fast, and they give charity and we do not give charity, and they set slaves free but we do not set slaves free”. Upon this the Messenger of God(May peace be upon him) said”Shall I not teach you something by which you will catch up those who proceeded you, and overtake those who come after you, only those who do as you do being more excellent than you?” They said: “Yes, Messenger of God, He said “Extol God, declare his Greatness, and praise him thirty-three times after every prayer.” Abu Salih said:”The poor emigrants came back to the Messenger of God(May peace be upon him) and saying “Our brethren, the possessors of property, have heard what we have done and they did the same”. So the Messenger of God said: ‘This is God’s Grace, which He gives to whom he wishes”.

In order words don’t hate, congratulate and be thankful for what you got. =)
