Everyone has their own sins. Maybe yours aren't drinking, clubbing, or adultery. Maybe yours is simply thinking you're better than them. Arrogance and ego, just like Iblis..🙏
So and so is a Wahabi
If you hear a rajul (ie: man) saying: “That is a Wahābī” then know that he is one of rajulayn (ie: two people):
Either a khabīth mukhbath (ie: corrupt filthy person), Or a jāhil (ie: ignorant person) who does not know his elbow from his knee.

( إذا سمعت رجلاً يقول : ذاك وهّابي ،
فاعلم أنه أحد رجلين : إما خبيث مُخْبث ، وإما جاهل لا يعرف كوعه من بوعه ) .
[Maqtal ash-Shaykh Jameel ar-Rahmaan- by Shaykh Muqbil p. 88]
ذاك وهّابي
قـال الـشيخ مـقبل الـوادعي – رحـمه الله :
( إذا سمعت رجلاً يقول : ذاك وهّابي ، فاعلم أنه أحد رجلين : إما خبيث مُخْبث ، وإما جاهل لا يعرف كوعه من بوعه ) .
[( مقتل الشيخ جميل الرحمن – للشيخ مقبل – ص 88 .)]
"Sometimes there is joy, sometimes there is sorrow, and sometimes there is emptiness. These are the tests that Allah sends our way."
I want to make good friends with everyone and build positive relationships 😊
Ya Rahman, Ya Raheem, Ya Lateef, write only goodness in my destiny. Ya Hakeem, let whatever You decree for me be filled with ease and wisdom. Ya Jabbar, do not test me in ways that break me-rather strengthen me and grant me sabr. Ya Salam, fill my life with peace and barakah.
Concubines in Islam: Historical Context and Modern Reality
- No Modern Legal Practice of Concubinage
In the present day, Muslim men do not have concubines in any legal or socially recognised form. Contemporary Muslim societies recognise marriage (nikah) as the only legitimate framework for intimate relationships.
- Historical Context of the Term
What is sometimes translated as “concubinage” refers to a historical legal category that existed in pre-modern societies, including Islamic legal systems. It was linked to conditions of slavery that existed at that time.
- Connection to Slavery
Concubinage was not an independent institution but was tied directly to slavery. It only existed within a system where slavery itself was legally and socially permitted in historical contexts.
- Abolition of Slavery
In the modern world, slavery is universally abolished under international law. Muslim-majority countries are part of global agreements that prohibit slavery in all forms, removing the legal basis for concubinage.
- Islamic Marriage as the Only Framework Today
In contemporary Islamic practice, nikah (marriage) is the only accepted form of lawful relationship. Any sexual relationship outside of marriage is considered impermissible in Islamic law.
- Modern Scholarly and Legal Consensus
Modern Islamic scholarship overwhelmingly treats slavery-related rulings as non-applicable in current contexts. As a result, concubinage is not practiced or recognised in modern Islamic legal systems.
- Clarifying Historical vs Modern Practice
Confusion often arises when historical texts are read without context. What existed in past legal frameworks does not necessarily apply to present-day law or practice in Muslim societies.
- Summary
Concubinage is a historical institution tied to past legal and social systems, not a feature of modern Islam or contemporary Muslim life.
