*URGENT APPEAL FOR SUMMER 2026*

Assalamu Alaikum everyone,

As many of you are aware, our ISAT masjid A/C system is critically down—out of 7 units, only 2 are still working. With summer right around the corner, this is an urgent need for our community.

Our A/C system has served us for nearly 40 years!

Now it’s our turn to come together and support the house of Allah. No amount is too small—every contribution makes a difference.

Please donate, share, and keep this effort in your du’as.

May Allah reward you all for your generosity 🤲

باب ستر عورات المسلمين والنهي عن إشاعتها لغير ضرورة
وعنه قال : سمِعت رسول اللَّه صَلّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وسَلَّم يقول : « كُلُّ أَمَّتِي مُعَافًى إِلاَّ المُجاهرينَ ، وإِنَّ مِن المُجاهرةِ أَن يعمَلَ الرَّجُلُ بالليلِ عمَلاً ، ثُمَّ يُصْبحَ وَقَدْ سَتَرهُ اللَّه عَلَيْهِ فَيقُولُ : يَا فلانُ عَمِلْتُ الْبَارِحَةَ كذَا وَكَذَا ، وَقَدْ بَاتَ يَسْترهُ ربُّهُ ، ويُصْبحُ يَكْشفُ سِتْرَ اللَّه » متفق عليه .

Covering Faults of the Muslims
Abu Hurairah (May Allah be pleased with him) reported: Messenger of Allah (PBUH) said, "Every one of my followers will be forgiven except those who expose (openly) their wrongdoings. An example of this is that of a man who commits a sin at night which Allah has covered for him, and in the morning, he would say (to people): I committed such and such sin last night, while Allah had kept it a secret. During the night Allah has covered it up but in the morning he tears up the cover provided by Allah Himself."[Al-Bukhari and Muslim].

Commentary:
We learn from this Hadith that commission of a sin due to human frailties on which one is ashamed but does not like to express is something which might hopefully be forgiven by Allah. In fact, its remission after penitence is almost sure. But to commit a sin openly is totally different because, firstly, the heart of such a person is deprived of the fear of Allah. Secondly, he has no respect and regard for Divine injunctions. Thirdly, such a person usually does not repent his sins. Fourthly, he makes a declaration of breach of Divine injunctions which amounts to inviting His wrath and punishment.

باب كراهة الحديث بعد العشاء الآخرة
المراد به الحديث الذي يكون مباحاً في غير هذا الوقت وفعله وتركه سواء. فأما الحديث المحرم أو المكروه في غير هذا الوقت أشد تحريماً وكراهة، وأما الحديث في الخير كمذاكرة العلم وحكايات الصالحين ومكارم الأخلاق والحديث مع الضيف ومع طالب حاجة ونحو ذلك فلا كراهة فيه، بل هو مستحب، وكذا الحديث لعذر وعارض لا كراهة فيه. وقد تظاهرت الأحاديث الصحيحة على كل ما ذكرته.
عَنْ أَبي بَرْزَةَ رَضِي اللَّه عَنْهُ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وسَلَّم كَانَ يَكرَهُ النومَ قبْلَ العِشَاءِ وَالحَدِيثَ بعْدَهَا . متفقٌ عليه .

Abomination of Holding Conversation after 'Isha' (Night) Prayer
Abu Barzah (May Allah be pleased with him) said: "The Messenger of Allah (PBUH) disliked going to bed before the `Isha (night) prayer and indulging in conversation after it."[Al-Bukhari and Muslim].

Commentary:
The prohibition of going to bed before `Isha' prayer is that if one sleeps late at night, it becomes difficult for him to get up for Tahajjud prayer or Fajr prayer. Moreover, if a person goes to sleep soon after `Isha' prayer, all his activities of the day will end at `Isha', which is the most meritorious act. It should also be borne in mind that when holding a conversation which is disliked or forbidden at other times becomes even more so at this particular time (i.e., after `Isha' prayer). Imam An-Nawawi's contention that things like academic discussion, talking to a guest, discussing the lives of the pious etc., are not only permissible but desirable, is also subject to the condition that such an activity does not involve the risk of losing the Fajr prayer. If one spends so much time in such activities that he is likely to miss the Fajr prayer, then the permission to hold academic discussion becomes doubtful.

باب نَهْي من أكل ثوماً أو بصلاً أو كُرَّاثاً أو غيره
مما له رائحة كريهة عن دخول المسجد قبل زوال رائحته إلا لضرورة
عَنِ ابْنِ عُمَرَ رَضِيَ اللَّه عَنْهُمَا أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ صَلّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وسَلَّم قَالَ : « منْ أَكَلَ مِنْ هَذِهِ الشَّجَرَةِ يَعْني الثُّومَ فلا يقْرَبَنَّ مَسْجِدَنَا » متفقٌ عليه .وفي روايةٍ لمسلم : « مَسَاجِدَنَا » .

Undesirability of Entering the Mosque after Eating raw Onion or Garlic
Ibn `Umar (May Allah be pleased with them) said: The Prophet (PBUH) said, "He who has eaten garlic should not come to our mosque."[Al-Bukhari and Muslim].
The narration in Muslim is: "He who has eaten garlic should not come to our mosques."

باب تحريم وصل الشعر والوشم والوَشر وهو تحديد الأسنان
وعَنْ أسْمَاءَ رضي اللَّه عنْهَا أنَّ امْرأَةً سألتِ النبيَّ صَلّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وسَلَّم فَقَالتْ : يا رَسُولَ اللَّه إنَّ ابْنَتِي أصَابَتْهَا الْحَصْبةُ ، فتمرَّقَ شَعْرُهَا ، وإنِّي زَوَّجْتُها ، أفَأَصِلُ فِيهِ ؟ فقال : « لَعَنَ اللَّه الْواصِلة والْمَوصولة » متفقٌ عليه .وفي روايةٍ : « الواصِلَةَ ، والمُسْتوصِلَةَ » .
قَوْلَهَا : « فَتَمرَّقَ » هو بالرَّاءِ ، ومعناه : انْتَشَرَ وَسَقَطَ ، « والْوَاصِلة » : التي تَصِلُ شَعْرهَا ، أو شَعْر غيرها بشَعْرٍ آخر . « والمَوْصُولة » : التي يُوصَلُ شَعْرُهَا .
« والمُستَوصِلَةُ » : التي تَسْأَلُ منْ يَفْعَلُ ذلكَ لَهَا .
وعَنْ عائشة رضي اللَّه عنْهَا نَحْوُهُ ، متفقٌ عليه .

Prohibition of Wearing False Hair, Tattooing and Filling of Teeth
Asma (May Allah be pleased with her) said: A woman came to the Prophet (PBUH) and said: "O Messenger of Allah! I have a daughter who had an attack of small pox and her hair fell off. Now I want to celebrate her marriage. Can I get her a wig?" Thereupon the Prophet (PBUH) said, "Allah has cursed the maker and wearer of a wig."[Al-Bukhari and Muslim].

Commentary:
This Hadith mentions women of three kinds, namely:
1. One who patches or joins the hair.
2. One who desires to have such hair.
3. One whose hair are taken to mix with the hair of another woman.
All the three of them have been cursed. Such artificial hair are called wig. `Beauty Parlours' are very active in prompting the use of wigs and other shameful fashions. May Allah save us from such evils.
Almost the same Hadith has been related from `Aishah (May Allah be pleased with her).
