Brotherhood Despite Differing
For this reason, we see that al-ʿulamāʾ (ie: scholars), despite their significant differences in baʿḍ al-masāʿil (ie: some matters), do not declare each other as misguided nor do they accuse each other of bidaʿ (ie: innovation).
ولهذا نرى العلماء مع اختلافهم الشديد في بعض المسأئل لا يضلل بعضهم بعضا ولا يبدع بعضهم بعضا
Muḥammad Nāṣir ʾl-Dīn al-Albānī, Ṣalāh al-Tarawīḥ 1/43

True Wisdom
Ibn ʿUyaynah reportd that ʿAmr b. al-ʿĀṣ (may Allah be pleased with him) said:
وَقَالَ ابْنُ عُيَيْنَةَ: قَالَ عَمْرُو بنُ العَاصِ:
“The intelligent one is not the one who knows the difference between good and evil,
لَيْسَ العَاقِلُ مَنْ يَعْرِفُ الخَيْرَ مِنَ الشَّرِّ،
rather he is the one who knows (ie: can recognize) the lesser of two evils.”
وَلَكِنْ هُوَ الَّذِي يَعْرِفُ خَيْرَ الشَّرَّيْنِ.
al-Ḏahabī, Siyar Aʿlām al-Nubalāʾ 3/74

Salah satu kaedah dalam ilmu fiqh;
al ashlu fil mu’amalati mubah — hukum asal dalam bermuamalah itu mubah(boleh)
Dengan artian segala bentuk muamalah pada asalnya dibolehkan sampai ada pengubah hukum tersebut. menjadi wajib atau haram atau tetap pada asalnya
Contoh biar gampang faham; minuman keras hukum asalnya boleh-boleh saja bahkan dalam sejarah awal islam para sahabat masih banyak mengkonsumsinya, namun setelah itu ada ayat pengharamannya, maka ia berubah hukum dari awalnya mubah menjadi haram
Kaedah ini dapat juga di pahami dengan; selama enggak ada pengubah hukumnya, segala bentuk muamalah itu mubah. wallahu a’lam

[Book Review] The Prayer: Its Effect in Increasing Eeman and Purifying The Soul by Shaykh Husayn Al-Awaayishah
🧮 Score: 4.7/5.0
.
“Successful indeed are the believers. Those who offer their Prayers with humility and attentiveness.” - (Surah al-Mu’minoon 23:1-2)
■ Life fascinates us with its unknown twists and turns. Which may cause us to lose focus and aching with disillusionment and suffering. Let's liberate our hearts from worries, refine our Prayer(Salah) and elevate our faith(Eeman).
The author illustrates the importance and benefits of Salah with ample references from the Quran and Sunnah. He encourages us to reflect and compare our Salah with that of the Prophet (SAW) and his Companions (RA). Not only discusses the practices on an individual level, but he also highlights the functions of the society and family institutions in boosting our eeman as a Muslim and collectively as the Ummah.
■ In only about 112 pages, he conveyed the knowledge(Deen) without undermining common confusions/misunderstandings on cultural appropriations. It’s amazing how clear his words are. His writings are stern yet uplifting. He empathises, clarifies and reminds things with care and sincerity. I also appreciate the provided footnotes and glossary that validate the sources.
■ How should we turn, and widen our perspectives and attitudes towards the ideas/obligations? We must do self-reflections and embrace entirely these three gems; intentions, humility and attentiveness. Then only we taste the sweetness in following the Sunnah, i. e. the correct ways to worship.
● Frequently, we find ourselves engulfed in the aftermath of our mistakes, be they wrong choices or unwise words spoken. To move forward and renew our eeman is to let go of our past. Acknowledge our shortcomings/wrongdoings, learn from them and move on.
● We need to cleanse our hearts. Begin with a genuine and earnest repentance, beseeching Allah (SWT) for forgiveness and His mercy. Make a firm commitment for a fresh start.
● The Quran strengthens our souls, infusing them with elevated faith. Dedicate extra effort to recite, explore the tafseer or learn the Arabic language to fully appreciate the Quran's eloquence, beauty, and miraculous nature.
● The Elixir of Life: Salah. Instead of going on auto-pilot mode, fully engage with Him during the five prescribed moments each day. Express genuine gratitude and directly present your concerns to Him.
■ To conclude, in a world where Salah often becomes a mere habit, the author reiterates the spiritual depths and discusses the condition of the heart one should cultivate when approaching this act of worship, offering insights on how to foster this mindset and exploring the impacts Salah should have on one's life.
Eeman, like a delicate flower, can bloom or wither in response to life's various challenges. Repent, ascend, and usher shifts into your life to earn the pleasure of your Creator. Be the Ummah that is capable of instigating positive societal transformations, rather than one that perpetually whines about every tiny problem.

On Memes
﷽
As Muslims, we know that we cannot afford to follow along with whatever the people are doing—we have a clear guidance before us, alhamdulillah; a set of principles by which we measure everything we do.
"Are those who know equal to those who do not know?"
—Qur'an (az-Zumar) 39:9
Once we understand the nature of memes and what's involved in them, the rulings attached to joking about the religion, the rulings on picturemaking, and the manners of a Muslim, we will see that dedicating too much time to this pursuit is not praiseworthy.
Joking About the Religion
In a world as irreverent and blaisé as ours, it's easy to see that there are no frontiers which comedy doesn't violate. Rather, those calling for guardrails to humor are openly vilified. Essentially, we're raised with the understanding that you can joke about anything.
Of course, this isn't true, as Allah warns us in the Qur'an:
And if you ask them, they will surely say, "We were only conversing and playing." Say, "Is it Allah and His verses and His Messenger that you were mocking?" Make no excuse; you have disbelieved after your belief.
—Qur'an (at-Tawbah) 9:65-66
Subhanallah, joking about the religion is categorized as kufr, clear cut.
Shaykh ibn Baz brought a consensus from the scholars, who are all in agreement that "if a Muslim reviles Islam, or criticises it, or he reviles the Messenger (ﷺ), or criticises or mocks him, then he is an apostate and a kafir" (Fataawa Noor 'ala ad-Darb by ibn Baz, p. 139).
Shaykh ibn Jibreen has also explained that this kufr makes an individual's spouse haram to them (they're automatically divorced) and the individual is not able to inherit from his Muslim relatives, and so on (Fataawa Islamiyyah, 3/533).
Interesting to note is that mocking the religion is enough to take a person outside of the fold of the religion without the need to refer the matter to scholars / the ulema. It is something which is open and apparent.
With this in mind, is it any wonder that memes and idle internet jokes are a hotbed for this type of fitnah? Imagine how quickly a word of kufr can be uttered in a group, and everyone laughs and all of them have now participated in this?
And when you (Muhammad (ﷺ)) see those who engage in a false conversation about Our Verses by mocking at them, stay away from them till they turn to another topic. And if Shaiytaan causes you to forget, then after the remembrance sit not you in the company of those people who are the Zalimun (polytheists and wrongdoers, etc.).
—Qur'an (al-An'am) 6:68
Some of the students of knowledge have gone on to explain that seemingly "simple" things, such as calling the niqabi a ninja or saying that she looks like a letterbox, denigrating the Sunnah beard, making fun of one who wears his trousers above his ankles, and so on—all fall under the category of mocking the religion.
May Allah guide us all and keep us steadfast upon his religion; may He protect us from every kind of fitnah. Ameen.
Picturemaking
Another aspect of standard-issue memery is picturemaking. As is quite well-known, picture making (and statuary) are not permissible in Islam.
"...a person came to ibn 'Abbas and said, "I am the person who paints pictures; give me a religious verdict about them." He (ibn 'Abbas) said to him, "Come near me (still further)." He came near him so much so that he placed his hand upon his head and said, "I am going to narrate to you what I heard from Allah's Messenger (ﷺ). I heard him say, 'All the painters who make pictures would be in the fire of Hell. The soul will be breathed in every picture prepared by him and it shall punish him in the Hell,' and he (ibn 'Abbas) said, "If you have to do it at all, then paint the pictures of trees and lifeless things..."
—Sahih Muslim 2109c, 2110a
In the hadith, we learn that landscapes and inanimate things (cityscapes, abstract art, etc.) are not forbidden, rather, the prohibition is most stern on living beings, whether human or animal. Though the issue may be somewhat nuanced, the following guidelines are generally agreed upon for the most liberal opinoin on the matter:
avoid living subjects, especially to draw them in their entirety
among living subjects, refrain from making a complete face, or including the eyes and nose
pictures of people or animals must not be hung up in the home or elsewhere
photo manipulation, especially of living beings, is forbidden
With these above points in mind, let us be honest and realistic about what memes typically entail:
they almost always involve photo manipulation of living beings
animal head on human bodies or vice versa (chad doge meme)
manipulation of living beings for gifs (2 legged horse gif)
transferring the faces or facial features of one individual onto another (as when combining memes to double up on a sentiment)
they usually involve living beings, generally; not many memes involve landscapes
often the meaning of a meme itself can be problematic, wherein someone is being denigrated or slandered unjustly
Manners of a Muslim
From the manners of a Muslim is that she does not engage overmuch in frivolity and idle play. It is permissible to joke around from time to time or as the opportunity arises. But to be a jokester, or someone who is known as such, is not for the Muslim to aspire to.
Oftentimes, one starts off in the permissible bounds of joking around and idle chit chat and ends up where it was unnecessary or even impermissible to go. Because as we know, the tongue is the quickest way to jahannam, and all it takes is a single word to get us there.
(Remember) that the two receivers (recording angels) receive (each human being), one sitting on the right and one on the left (to note his or her actions). Not a word does he (or she) utter but there is a watcher by him ready (to record it).
—Qur'an (Qaf) 50:17-18
The scholars have mentioned, even, that whoever speaks more—fears Allah less. Subhanallah.
Additionally, women should be especially careful with our speech, as we know from authentic hadith that our tongues and our words will cause a large portion of us to enter the Hellfire (may Allah protect us from such a fate, ameen!):
It was narrated that Jabir ibn ‘Abd-Allah (radhiAllah anhu) said, "I attended Eid prayers with the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ). He started with the prayer before the khutbah, with no adhan or iqamah. Then he stood up, leaning on Bilal (radhiAllah anhu), speaking of fear of Allah (taqwa) and urging us to obey Him. He preached to the people and reminded them. Then he went over to the women and preached to them and reminded them. Then he said, 'Give in charity, for you are the majority of the fuel of Hell.'
A woman with dark cheeks stood up in the midst of the women and said, 'Why is that, O Messenger of Allah?'
He said, 'Because you complain too much and are ungrateful to your husbands.' Then they started to give their jewellery in charity, throwing their earrings and rings into Bilal’s cloak."
—Sahih Muslim 885
In other versions of this hadith as well as the explanations of the people of knowledge, I've heard it said that the "complaining" mentioned here includes being quick to gossip, backbite, curse, or be otherwise careless with our tongues.
From what is normal in joking and playing around, is exaggeration or outright lying for the sake of making others laugh. On this, we have a very specific and explicit hadith:
Mu'awiyyah ibn Haydah reported: The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said, "Woe to one who tells lies to make people laugh. Woe to him! Woe to him!"
—Sunan Abu Dawud 4990
Whatever is repeated thrice is a dire matter indeed, so it isn't something we should take lightly or dismiss out of hand.
In Closing
For the reasons listed above, the Sisters in Sunnah Discord server does not have a meme channel, and the subthread which was created was also taken down. I do not wish to encourage that kind of dedicated space and time-wasting on the pursuit of idle joking. Whatever happens to come up in the main lounge chat is more than sufficient (and truth be told, could probably be toned down a bit.)
Because of the world we live in, I respect that submitting to the decree of Allah may be difficult. It may be something that many of us struggle with. But we should not be from the people who reject the truth when it comes to us, aouthubillah. Let us not, in a moment of knee-jerk, emotional reactions, speak a word displeasing to Our Creator.
May Allah rectify all of our affairs and make us from among those He is pleased with. May He take our souls in a good state and accept our sincere deeds from us. Ameen.

Maratib Al-Idrak
Paham tingkatan pengetahuan (maratib al idrak) itu ternyata penting buat kehidupan sehari-hari. Terkhusus di era kemajuan teknologi informasi saat ini.
Misalnya, kemaren ketika berangkat ke kampus, saya bilang ke orang yang kebetulan duduk di sebelah saya,
"Menurut aplikasi perkiraan cuaca, hari ini akan ada hujan badai".
Dia jawab,
"Halah...itu masih ihtimal (mungkin benar, mungkin salah)."
Sekilas perkataannya benar, tapi sebenarnya kurang tepat. Karena tidak semua Ihtimal itu satu tingkat dalam pengetahuan. Ihtimal ada 3 tingkat:
1- kemungkinan salahnya lebih besar (wahm)
2- Kemungkinan benarnya lebih besar (dzonn)
3- Kemungkinan salah dan benarnya seimbang (syak)
Dan perkiraan cuaca di aplikasi memiliki ihtimal: mungkin benar dan mungkin salah. Tapi kemungkinan benarnya lebih besar (dzonn).
Selain itu, kalau kita menganggap segala sesuatu adalah ihtimal dengan arti tak bisa dianggap kebenaran, maka hampir tak ada kebenaran yang bisa kita pegang di dunia ini. Segala sesuatu di dunia akan jadi relatif. Karena kebanyakan nilai-nilai, penelitian sains dan teori-teori pengetahuan punya ihtimal. Tapi, ihtimal nya berada di tingkat dzonn.
Contohya teori bumi bulat. Dulu kita sering dengar di medsos banyak teori yang membantah teori bumi bulat dan menegaskan bahwa bumi itu datar. Bagi orang yang menganggap pengetahuan/informasi itu satu tingkat semua, maka pasti cepat-cepat mengamini teori bumi datar dan membantah teori bumi bulat.
Kemudian, dengan mengetahui tingkatan pengetahuan kita bisa memilah argumen atau bantahan mana yang bisa diperhitungkan dan mana yang tidak. Misal, argumen eksistensi Tuhan. Sejak dulu sampai sekarang dua kubu: teis dan ateis terus saling lempar argumen yang mendukung keyakinan mereka masing-masing. Setiap argumen dibantah dengan argumen lain. Kita sebagai orang yang bertuhan (teis) kalau tak paham tingkatan pengetahuan, mungkin melihat perdebataan tak berujung itu membuat jiwa jadi penuh keraguan. Tapi, dengan mengetahui tingkatan pengetahuan, kita tahu mana argumen/bantahan yang lemah (marjuh) dan mana yang kuat (rajih). Adanya bantahan tak menjadikan sesuatu serta merta salah atau tak layak dianggap sebagai kebenaran.
Memahami tingkatan pengetahuan juga membantu kita bebas dari overthinking. Dalam sehari infomasi yang kita terima bisa lebih dari puluhan. Bahkan berita yang mengisukan satu orang (misalnya) bisa lebih dari hitungan jari dengan berbagai versinya. Tanpa tahu tingkatan ini kita pasti sudah dibuat bingung harus menerima atau menanggapi berita yang mana. Oleh karena itu, memahami maratib al idrak penting bagi kita yang hidup di zaman modern ini.

Silence Is Not Always Blameworthy
From the foundational principles of al-Shāfīʿī may Allah have mercy on him where he said: “A statement is not attributed to a silent person.”
من أصل الشافعي رحمه الله حيث قال: " لا ينسب إلى ساكت قول ".

Choosing The Lenient Opinion
If there is no ḍurūrah (ie: necessity) or ḥājah (ie: need) compelling him to do so, but rather his sole intention is to take advantage of a lenient opinion without having a strong dhann (ie: presumption) that this opinion is more correct, then it is forbidden.
(الرَّابِعَةُ) أَنْ لَا تَدْعُوَهُ إلَى ذَلِكَ ضَرُورَةٌ وَلَا حَاجَةٌ بَلْ مُجَرَّدُ قَصْدِ التَّرَخُّصِ مِنْ غَيْرِ أَنْ يَغْلِبَ عَلَى ظَنِّهِ رُجْحَانُهُ فَيَمْتَنِعُ
This is because in such a situation, he is following his own hawá (ie: desires), not al-dīn (ie: the religion).
لِأَنَّهُ حِينَئِذٍ مُتَّبِعٌ لِهَوَاهُ لَا لِلدِّينِ.

Baru tau banget, kalo bangun dari ruku’ tuh yang baca “samiallahu liman hamidah” cuman imam doang sama kalo kita sholat sendirian, sebagai makmum gaperlu baca itu, langsung aja baca doa “rabbana wa lakal hamd”
