If Eemaan is in Your Heart, Then Where is it on Your Body - By Sh. Abu Khadeejah حفظه الله

who said that Allah's messenger sallallahu alaihi wasallam said the first hadith this is in Ibu Maj also reported by Muslim Ahmed and others first hadith in Ibah in his Allah's

messenger sallallahu alaihi wasallam said that which I command you with then do it.

And that which I prohibit you from, stay away from it. This is Allah.

What did he command you with, my sisters? Put on the hijab.

sisters? Put on the hijab.

Cover yourselves. Wear the jb. What did

he command you with, my brothers? Grow

your beards. Raise your garments above your ankles. Opposing the messenger of

your ankles. Opposing the messenger of Allah sallallah.aii wasallam even in the

Allah sallallah.aii wasallam even in the act of the beard is imitation of the disbelievers. And it shows the weakness

disbelievers. And it shows the weakness of your iman.

Don't reply to me by saying, "Oh, but is iman is there. It's in my heart. In my

heart."

If your iman in your heart is strong, then where is it on your body?

I believe in Allah. I love the messenger of Allah. I would die for this religion.

of Allah. I would die for this religion.

You can't even keep away from the razor.

You can't keep away from the trimming machine. And you're going to die for

machine. And you're going to die for Islam. I love Allah. I love Allah. I

Islam. I love Allah. I love Allah. I

love the messenger. Empty words.

Empty words. Subhan Allah. Likewise,

we see Muslim youth imitating the kufur in their hairstyles.

And this is due to the blind following of the fashions and the customs customs of the unbelievers and the sinners.

They consider it stylish and attractive to imitate the hairstyles of the disbelievers. The prophet sallallahu

disbelievers. The prophet sallallahu alaihi wasallam saw a boy with some of his head shaved and some of his head left alone. Some of the hair on his head

left alone. Some of the hair on his head left alone. So he said so the prophet

left alone. So he said so the prophet sallallahu alaihi wasallam prohibited that. What did he say?

that. What did he say?

He said either shave all of it or leave it all leave it all alone. Hadith in Abu D is and also Ibn Omar said the messenger of Allah sallallahu alaihi

wasallam prohibited shaving a part of the head and leaving another part long this is the fashion today I love Allah I love the messenger of Allah but you can't do that you can't do

the smallest of things you can't keep away when you go to the bar or you go to the hairdresser shave this off why because you want to look like everybody else oh it's a weakness in me it's a weakness in me but then you want to beat

your chest test about Gaza, then you want to get angry for Gaza.

That is not to say that is not to say that you shouldn't get angry for Gaza and the Muslims who are suffering there. But where's your

obedience? Where's your contribution to

obedience? Where's your contribution to the of Allah subhana wa ta'ala? Abdah

alam he said in he said that which some of the youth practice these days by shortening some of their hair and leaving others to grow long then it is something newly

introduced repugnant and hideous and it is from the hated kaz.

Then we have our sisters who love to imitate the fashions and the styles and customs of the disbelieving women. They wear short dresses that

women. They wear short dresses that expose their ankles and calves or they uncover their hair or a part of their hair. They say, "Look, I'll cover this

hair. They say, "Look, I'll cover this part of just leave a fringe." They show their necks or their ears and their earrings.

They wear tight garments and show the contours of their bodies. All of this in their desire to follow fashion. You love

Allah. You love the messenger of Allah.

What do you love in reality?

Many Muslims see how the kufur and from amongst the Muslims, you see these online social media influencers and they say, "Oh, but he's a Muslim.

He's a footballer. He's a Muslim rapper.

He's a Muslim singer. He's a social media influencer." And the Shabb start

media influencer." And the Shabb start following him.

So you see them taking pictures of themselves and posting them online.

So you take pictures of yourself and you post it online.

Women beautify themselves with makeup, attractive clothing, taking selfies of themselves, and posting them online for millions of men to see you.

You call that modesty? You you you think that is holding on to the sunnah of Allah's messenger sallallahu alaihi wasallam. What type of woman would

wasallam. What type of woman would demean herself in that way and seek validation from strangers from amongst the Muslims

looking at her beauty and looking at her body and she's proud that she has like 25,000 or 100,000 followers looking at her body and her face and she says well

at least I got a scar on my head.

Do they consider this to be from Islam or the guidance of Allah's messenger sallallahu alaihi wasallam or from the modesty that was displayed by the wives of the prophet sallallahu alaihi wasallam or the sahabi the female

companions?

This is nothing my sisters and brothers especially the shabb the youth this is nothing except weakness in your im weakness in your im and a lack of

selfrespect.

You're not proud in your own skin.

That's the issue. You're not comfortable in your own Islam that Allah has bestowed upon you and blessed you with.

You're not comfortable with that.

You are not embracing the honor and the blessings that Allah has given you.

You think that there is something good elsewhere. Big mistake. Big mistake.

elsewhere. Big mistake. Big mistake.

Learn the s of Allah's messenger. Lead

read about his life. Read the s of Allah's messenger sallallahu alaihi wasallam translated. Go and grab it.

translated. Go and grab it.

Chapters in the life of the prophet sallallahu alaihi wasallam and look at how this honorable man lived his life.

You're too busy reading about the lives of actors and footballers and personalities and musicians and singers.

Well, get your priorities right before it's too late.

before it's too late.

May Allah subhana wa ta'ala bless our communities with uprightness and steadfastness upon the dean of Allah subhana wa ta'ala and upon the sunnah of Allah's messenger sallallahu alaihi wasallam

Amen.
