Date: 23rd Sha’ban, 1446 AH (22nd February, 2025 CE) Name of Speaker: Shaykh ʿAbdulḤakīm Dahhās

Below Are The Beneficial Points Covered by The Shaykh:

• Shaykh ʿAbdul-Ḥakīm Ad-Dahhās (حفظه الله) asked Allāh (سبحانه وتعالى) to make Muwaḥḥideen a signpost for those who obey Allāh.
• Whenever Allāh commanded the men with a certain ruling it also applies to the women.
• It is highly recommended to teach the women the legislative rulings in Islām.
• Allāh (سبحانه وتعالى) gave women a superiority in Islām that they did not have before Islām.
• The best, most firm, and most beautiful rulings are the rulings of Islām.
• Allāh knows what rulings are best for you.
• Allāh chose more legislative rulings for women than He did for men.
• The Muslim woman should be fully content and act on these rulings.
• The women’s portion of happiness and honour is directly connected to her obedience in the religion.
• Any woman that is obedient to Allāh will get twice the reward.
• Men have been commanded to treat women nicely in obedience to Allāh.
• Allāh is defending women through His rulings. He wants you to become the most honourable amongst mankind and not be amongst the ignorant.
• Whenever you implement a ruling, you gain a degree of closeness to Allāh.
• Allāh will rectify your children, husband and maybe your whole community due to your obedience to Allāh.
• Allāh will give you goodness based on the goodness that comes from you.
• Allāh encourages women to seek nearness to Him.
• Allāh wants to remove the impurities from the women.
• Women should have the best thoughts of Allāh and His rulings and everything in Islām.
• Ramaḍān is an opportunity of a lifetime and there is no guarantee that you will live for another one.
• The Salaf used to ask Allāh to reach Ramaḍān 6 months before Ramaḍān, and they used to ask Allāh to accept their deeds 6 months after Ramaḍān.
• Do not say Ramaḍān Karīm. This is a statement of Shirk since Allāh is Al-Karīm. Rather say Ramaḍān Mubārak.
• Start the month of Ramaḍān with the correct intention to fill the month with good deeds, including recitation of Qur’ān, fasting, the night prayer, catching Laylatul Qadr, and asking to be freed from the Hellfire.
• Repentance is an obligation.
• The sinner is deprived of blessings.
• The heaviness of sins prevents the lightness of obedience to Allāh.
• Count and avoid your sins and the diseases in your heart, until Ramaḍān comes, and then the doors of Paradise will be opened for you.
• Only Allāh can grant you success to repent and then accept and reward you for your repentance.
• Stay away from social media because this will take away your shyness and belittle your womanhood and femininity.
• Allāh hates lewd actions and statements.
• Strive to fast in the most perfect way in obedience to Allāh.
• Do not let your sins deprive you of the reward for fasting, after being granted the success to fast the entire month.
• The most common sin that removes the rewards for good deeds is backbiting.
• Ask Allāh to help you stay away from the evil of the evil doers.
• Do not miss a single night of night prayer, even if you pray at home.
• Your monthly cycle only prevents you from the ṣalāh. It does not prevent you from reciting Qur’ān, making duʿā’, giving charity, striving during Laylatul Qadr and asking for forgiveness.
• Strive to prepare food for family members to help those that are fasting.
• Cook while making dhikr and istighfār so you get the same reward as those that are fasting.
• Strive even more during the last ten nights since Laylatul Qadr is during these last ten nights.
