Aslm sheikh, please i got a question but first of all thanks so much for your lectures, may almighty Allah reward u abundantly and give answers to all your silent prayers insha'Allah (amin).
Please, I would like to ask a question because I have not been able to find a clear answer. I would really appreciate your response.
My question is: Is it true that during the last 10 days of Ramadan (Laylatul Qadr), spouses should not have intercourse?
Here in 2026♥️💚
Bedankt
Brother I have a request to ask of you. Could you please make a lecture aimed at young children for Muslim revert parents to show their children? I try to do what I can to teach my 4 year old daughter about Islam, but you have such a good way of speaking. You're my favorite Brother to listen to. I would love her to be able to learn from you as well. May Allah bless you and grant you the highest level of Jannah. Ramadan Mubarak.
I feel like his face expressions are tense..may Allah ease your problems brother 🙏
Allahmdulillah,Mashaallah may bless our ummah..
Salam Sheikh, what about if someone didn’t fast for 2 years because of mental health each day I missed do I need to fast 1 month each fast?
Thank you, Sheikh, for the truthful, and uncomfortable teaching and guidance.
As salam Aleykoum I have a question . When you say to feed poor people , it’s about one meal or the 3 meals of the day . BarakAllahu fikum
Masha Allah. Shaykh sahib
Salaam Sheikh, what about if someone has daily medications to control their multiple long term mental health conditions ends up fasting and doesnt take their medications which then causes hardship upon the fasting persons in their family such as their fasting adult children due to their rage tendencies? In such cases do they need to makeup their fasts or can they pay fidya?
Ramadan Mubarak to all brothers and sisters around the world
20:40 is there an hadith to this ?
JazakAllah Sheikh and team ✨️ @3:20. 4 imp points, specially number 4. Devils are chained, the noise of this dunya becomes a bit dimmed and distant, thus Allah gives us a chance to identify any sins and weaknesses that are probably our own, so we can rectify and mend them for good inshaAllah. This is Allah's mercy.
Month of self reflection and improvement. May our intentions be pure and actions pleasing to our Rab, the only truly most Merciful and only truly most Forgiving. Ameen
🔑Points
📜@0:34 Surah Baqarah 2:185
✨Prophet SAW said "the doors of Jannah open in Ramadan and the doors of hellfire are closed and the devils are chained up". Why do we still have bad thoughts🔹human shaytan are not chained and continue whispering 🔹weak jinn shaytans are not chained and have a weak effect 🔹qareen leaves whispers before Ramadan 🔹some sinful thoughts and actions are our own
✨Hadith: Fasting is a shield, so when the day of fasting arrives, stop talking foul, indecent bad words and don't do actions of violence, aggression, betrayal and conflict, unnecessarily, and if someone swears say I am fasting, I am fasting
🌙Actions to increase and improve upon in Ramadan 🍃Salah; be more mindful and say different Surahs, increase nawafal🍃Qiyam/night prayer; Dhikr, voluntary prayers, Quran recitation, any act that pleases Allah🍃Quran; recite the Quran and ponder over it's meaning 🍃 Dhikr and Dua🍃Sadaqa and Zakat
🕯️Man will not receive except for which they strive for
✔️Who is exempt ♦️ someone with temporary/onset illness, break fast and make it up later. Explained @23:36♦️Chronic illness that requires continuous mgmt and care. Not required to fast or make up, but feed a poor person for every fast @ 25:57♦️Old age/frailty depending on health and medical conditions. Fasting not required and feed one person for every fast. If they are able, better to fast @28:56 Surah Baqarah 2:184♦️ Someone with mental illness that causes physical sickness/fatigue/dibilitation, and has been diagnosed medically and eating will resolve the problem. Break fast and make up later. Explained @ 32:14♦️ Pregnant/breastfeeding woman, if she fears harm on herself, break fast and make up later. But if she fears for the well being of the baby, break fast and make up later and the baby's father feeds one poor person. Three opinions further detailed @39:09. Exemption for breast feeding is for two Ramadans and for pregnant woman for 9 months. Husband cannot ask a pregnant wife to break her fast out of health concern. Only decided by medical advice ♦️ Travellers travelling beyond 80km +🔹if on travel, it's comfortable, continue fasting🔹if it brings hardship/fatigue break fast and make up later🔹 travelling may cause serious illness or harm, then fasting is haram. Make up the fast later.
💫What breaks the fast🔸any nutrition that enters through mouth/nose and goes past the throat/enters stomach 🔸any nutrition through mouth/nose/veins that reaches stomach 🔸eye/ear/nose drops ▪️1st opinion, that reach the stomach ▪️2nd opinion, even if they reach the throat. Better to avoid🔸 intravenous needles/drips if nutritious and hydrates 🔸eating drinking deliberately (major sin, repent and make up fast)🔸smoking cigarettes 🔸 voluntarily vomiting 🔸 sexual intercourse. Major sin, repent and make kaffara. If wife coerced, then no kaffara on her neither does she need to make up the fast🔸gargling excessively in wudu and swallow water, even accidentally. No sin but make up fast🔸hijama, if a lot of blood is taken out
🖇️What does not break fast🔹 intravenous needles if medication 🔹 eating drinking forgetfully 🔹tasting food but not swallowing 🔹 injections for medicinal purposes 🔹things that enter through skin e.g. nicotine patches 🔹swimming 🔹 involuntarily vomiting 🔹 brushing teeth, do it with care and do not swallow deliberately. Better to avoid 🔹accidental swallowing water in wudu🔹asthma pump🔹 oxygen pump 🔹lip balm🔹smelling perfume 🔹blood test🔹local anaesthetic 🔹nose bleed🔹 wet dream 🔹hijama, if no blood taken out
Aslam u alaikum belal Assad I want to ask u something plz make a video on meditation is it allow in Islam simple meditation
Here are some ways to earn good deeds after death:
1) Give a copy of the Qur'an to someone. Each time one reads from it you gain.
2) Donate a wheelchair to a hospital. Each time a sick person uses it you gain.
3) Participate in building a masjid.
4) Place a watercooler in a public space.
5) Plant a tree. You gain whenever a person or an animal sits in its shade or eats from it.
6) And the easiest of all, share this message to spread the goodness.
i intend to watch all your videos inshallah .May Allah bless you dear Imam .
Salam sheik I want to ask if it is permissible to use lip balm/chapstick whilst fasting? (of course making sure to not intentionally lick it)
Which Surah talkes about the shaytan we are born with?
May Allah bless you ❤
The point about mental health shaykh. Totally spot on. I had a very close friend who was unable to fast during Ramadan due to medications. He had bad/ severe mental health issues. JazakAllah for sharing that point I feel like some scholars leave it out in Ramadan guide videos. Either due to ignorance or undermining the issue.
Thank you very much. May Allah increase you in knowledge, wisdom and understanding
Assalamu alaykum Sheikh, I have a question if you could answer, if i have to travel from germany to us, i know its allowed to break fast but just a hypothesis i am able to fast at what time do you break it? According to the iftar time of the city i left from or the city youre landing? This would make more than 20hours of fasting?
🌟✨🙏Ameen
Salam will you do a video about male modesty for parents to understand.
There are many male muslim athletes who do not cover their requirement but do not get judged by their modesty or their iman judged.
There are some muslim boys who grow their hair as a fashion style instead of the sunnah.
Same for beard.
There are muslim boys/men who take thirstrap gym pictures (after covering navel to knee). Show off their muscles and abs knowing that women muslim/non muslim will get fitna.
Will you do a video about this please in the future.
is there a difference in terms of reward if one recites the Qur'an during the day (during fasting) and during the night (after isyak) ?
I really appreciate this honest and open (uncomfortable) conversation Sheikh.
On Traveller, Beyond 80 km. Rasyulullah s.a.w.: There's no piety when fasting when travelling. Harmful, extreme fatigue, then it becomes haram to fast.
Assalam
oAlaikum Sir. Please guide me. Can I name my daughter ''Aizal" or "Mirha"Booger eating 😂🤢
Assalamualaikum Sheik i have a question does saliva breaks a fast
You say about engaging in temptations throughout the day? What are examples of that since I dont understand what you mean by that? Also do you mean so long as major discharge DOESNT happen, it lessens the reward? Right?
Great lectures mr. Assad!!
Assalamu'alaikum sheikh. I wanna work as a transcriber for ur vdos
Sheikh my father was sick last Ramadan and he was unable to fast unfortunately he passed away but we didn't know how many days he didn't fast what should we do in this case
May Allah accept our Ramadan and every attempt from us to do good, May Allah also forgive us always and always have mercy on us❤
I’ve just stopped the video just to thank you Belal for your great work, I am from Germany with Turkish heritage and I really love the way you’re trying to spread our religion al-ḥamdu li-Llāh may Allah bless you ❤
MashaAllah ❤
Alhamdulillah.
Assalamu alaikum,
Please, I would like to have more clarity about smelling food. As an act that breaks the fast.
What happens to women when cooking?
