Ask any scholar or student of knowledge—and they'll tell you: some of the most common, urgent questions they get are from women. About menstruation. Purity. Prayer. Hijab. Going out. Marriage. Divorce. But not enough people are teaching it. To address this gap, here begins the explanation of الأربعون النسائية (Al-Arba'een An-Nisaa'iyyah)—a collection of 43 hadith compiled by Shaykh Muhammad ibn Shakir ash-Shareef, each one dealing with rulings specific to women, drawn from the Sunnah and explained upon the understanding of the Salaf. In Episode 1, Ustadh Abdulrahman Hassan breaks down the first hadith of the book—where the Prophet ﷺ says: “Do not prevent your women from the masājid, but their homes are better for them.” - What exactly does this mean today? - Is it really better for women to pray at home—even in Makkah and Madinah? - Can a husband stop his wife from going to the masjid? And when is that allowed? - What conditions did the scholars set for women going out—and are they still being met today? - And what did Aisha رضي الله عنها say that still speaks volumes about modesty and change in society? This isn't just theory. It's the lived fiqh of women—starting here.

Ever wondered what those overwhelming emotions are when you first see the Kaabah? This podcast by Shaykh Muhammad Alshareef (rA) breaks down the eight most common feelings Hajjis experience during their first Umrah - from confusion and awe to tiredness and even frustration with your travel companions.Drawing from decades of Hajj and Umrah experience, this discussion addresses the emotional journey that often gets overlooked in typical "how-to" guides. You'll know why feeling confused when you first see the Kaabah is completely normal, understand the proper etiquette around the sacred House, and get practical advice for navigating the crowds.The Kaabah as a direction rather than an object of worship, the significance of the Black Stone, and why Makkah is uniquely designed as a place where worship is the only focus. Stories from Seerah of the Prophet (SAW) and the Sahaba will help you understand your own experiences better, including lessons from the Treaty of Hudaybiyyah about handling frustration during sacred journeys.Whether you're preparing for your first Umrah or reflecting on past experiences, this honest podcast validates the emotions of Hajis while giving Islamic guidance on how to process them spiritually. Perfect for anyone seeking to understand the deeper emotional and spiritual aspects of visiting the holiest site in Islam, especially in this season of Dhul Hijjah.
Have you ever felt guilty for asking Allah for a good life? As if dreaming big or wanting to thrive in the Dunya somehow makes a person less pious?This podcast addresses a limiting belief that holds many Muslims back - the idea that seeking success in this world contradicts spirituality. It challenges the misconception that comfort, abundance, or a fulfilled life is something to be ashamed of. Instead, it brings attention to clear Qur'anic verses where Allah promises blessings in the dunya to those who believe, have taqwa, and do good deeds.It explores how the Prophet ﷺ and his companions lived with purpose, control, and a deep sense of responsibility. Their simplicity was a choice - rooted in wisdom. They had access to wealth and influence but used it for the sake of Allah, with clarity and impact.The podcast also emphasizes the balance between tawakkul (trust in Allah) and taking strategic action. Trust doesn't mean inaction—it means doing one's part while relying on Allah's plan.This is a powerful reminder that there's no second round in life. It encourages believers to aim high, live with purpose, and stop holding back due to misplaced guilt. A much-needed mindset shift for anyone who feels torn between spiritual sincerity and worldly aspiration.
You know those heated arguments in the masjid about moon sighting, or the tension when someone corrects another's prayer? In this podcast, Shaykh Muhammad Alshareef (rA) shows us how the Companions had passionate disagreements but never let them destroy their brotherhood.Shaykh (rA) didn't just tell us to "be nice" - he gave real strategies for dealing with conflicts, showing how to give advice without humiliating people, and explaining why some of our well-intentioned dawah efforts actually push people away.In an age where Muslim communities are fracturing over the smallest issues, where social media arguments turn into real-world divisions, we desperately need to learn how to disagree without destroying our bonds.This is about preserving relationships while standing firm on principles. Whether you're dealing with family disagreements, community politics, or just trying to navigate everyday interactions with other Muslims, the wisdom shared here is invaluable.If you've ever felt frustrated by divisions in the ummah or wondered how to correct someone without hurting them, this talk is for you. It's about building the kind of community where differences strengthen us rather than tear us apart.

Why do hardships come even after choosing the path of Islam? Shouldn't life become easier when you're on the truth?In this podcast, Shaykh Muhammad Alshareef (rA) shares a powerful reflection on trials, struggles, and the reality of faith. Allah makes it clear in the Quran: “Do you think you will enter Paradise while such [trials] have not yet come to you as came to those who passed on before you?” (Quran 2:214). Every believer will be tested, just as those before us were. Wealth, health, and personal hardships are all part of the journey. The struggle itself is proof that you're on the right path.Jannah is not easy. It is surrounded by difficulty, while Hellfire is surrounded by ease and desires. The challenges you face, the temptations you resist, the hardships that shake you - every single one is a step closer to Allah's pleasure.If you're feeling overwhelmed, if you're questioning why life isn't getting easier, this reminder is for you. The road to Jannah is not for the weak-hearted. But for those who endure, who hold firm, who refuse to waver, the reward is beyond imagination.Let this reminder reshape the way you see your trials. Stay the course. Stay firm. Keep going.

Ever feel like you're carrying a weight you can't quite put down?That constant buzzing in your mind—things you haven't done, things you should do, and the fear that maybe you're just not doing enough. Anxiety doesn't just show up unannounced; it's tied to the pressure we put on ourselves. The guilt. The overwhelm.And when stress keeps piling on, you either shut down or burn out. It's not laziness—it's the heart and soul crying out for relief. But how often do we actually stop and reflect? How often do we turn to Allah (swt) for clarity instead of trying to fix everything ourselves?Sometimes, the chaos is a sign—a reminder to slow down, reset our intentions, and lean on the One who controls it all. It's not about being perfect. It's about finding peace in your heart, breaking free from the cycle of overwhelm, and learning to breathe again, with trust in Allah guiding every step forward.Inside the 5-Day Raise Your Dua Challenge, you'll see how to bring that hope, energy, and positivity back - just in time for Ramadan.Join here: https://www.raiseyourdua.com/challenge?el=DUpodcast
Have you ever poured your heart out in dua, only to feel like nothing is changing? It's a question so many of us wrestle with: “Why are my Duas not working?”In this heartfelt session, you'll uncover the truth about what's holding your Duas back. Through a profound analogy of a young boy skipping “leg day,” the speaker reveals how often we focus on our goals but forget to build the foundation needed to support them.You'll hear the wisdom of the Prophet (ﷺ) in the story of tying the camel—a timeless reminder of the delicate balance between effort and trust in Allah. And, with touching personal experiences, you'll discover how preparation, accountability, and action can transform the way you make dua.This is more than just a talk; it's an invitation to deepen your connection with Allah and align your efforts with your prayers. If you've ever felt lost or discouraged in your Dua journey, this session is for you.
Each name of Allah is a manifestation of His perfection.His (swt) attributes are beyond human comprehension.When we invoke Allah using His names in our Duas…We're not merely uttering words but tapping into the essence of His attributes. Whether we call upon Him as Al-Rahman (the Most Merciful) or Al-Qadir (the All-Powerful), we're acknowledging His sovereignty over all creation and seeking His aid with humility and reverence.In it, we beseech Allah by His beautiful names. Who better to call during our lowest points in life?Furthermore, let us reflect on the common phrase ""God is love."" While some phrases like “God is love” may carry good intentions, they fall short of capturing the entirety of Allah's majesty. Yes, Allah is indeed Al-Wadud (the All-Loving), but to reduce Him to a mere abstract concept like love is to diminish His greatness. Let's not forget to approach Allah with the utmost reverence and awe, acknowledging His names and attributes in their fullness.Let's never underestimate the power of invoking Allah through His names. Take a moment to reflect on the power of Allah's attributes and choose His names carefully. May Allah guide us on this path of enlightenment and bless us with His mercy and grace. Ameen"

Do you often find yourself wondering why your prayers seem to hit a roadblock?In this podcast, Shaykh Muhammad Alshareef (rahimahullah) breaks down the whole dilemma of doors not swinging open and manifestations playing hard to get.We may fear, at times, that our prayers may not be answered at all…But this is exactly where we need to have Tawakkul in Allah (swt). There's no place for doubt for a believer.The road may seem blurry and uncertainty may rob us of our peace, but if we don't learn how to move forward with hope...We might sabotage our Duas ourselves, and the worst part is...We'll never know and keep on waiting until we finally give up.
Gone are the days of Salah & Dua where you wish you knew what the Imam was saying. In this podcast, Shaykh Muhammad Alshareef (rA) shares glimpses of the Quran……so you too can contemplate and soak in the essence of the words of Allah (swt).He also talks about what balance means in the context of a believer and debunks misconceptions people have about our Deen.No matter where you belong, at the end of the day…Islam is all about balance, dedication, and discipline.

If you want to know how to approach your Duas with an open heart and full faith, then listen to this podcast by Shaykh Muhammad Alshareef (rA)……as he talks about the mental hurdles we face in making Duas.Sometimes, we hesitate, not fully believing our prayer can be answered. But remember, even Shaytan made Du'a, and Allah answered it. When we reflect on this, we realize that Allah's doors of mercy and acceptance are always open for anyone who calls upon Him.Shaytan, despite being misguided, possesses knowledge and has used it throughout history, as we see in the Battle of Badr. Here, he attempted to mislead the disbelievers against the Muslims but quickly fled when he saw the angels descending. Understanding Shaytan's actions reminds us to never doubt the strength of Allah's protection over the believers.Remember, no matter how much he's cornered you, when you call upon Allah, know that your voice is heard. Never let doubt creep into your heart, thinking you're somehow overlooked by Allah. He is the Most Merciful, and He promises to respond to His servants.
Shaykh Muhammad Alshareef (rA) shares 5 techniques to help combat laziness, boost your energy, and stay focused on worshiping Allah. From fighting off yawns and following the Prophet's (PBUH) advice on moderation in eating to surrounding yourself with the right company, these tips are rooted in the wisdom of our Deen. He also talks about the importance of seeking Allah's protection from laziness, being truthful with yourself, and striving to push beyond excuses when it comes to fulfilling your duties. Let's reflect on how these small actions can transform our daily lives and bring us closer to Allah.
It's crucial more than ever to be united as a nation, as an Ummah of the Prophet (SAW). In this podcast, Shaykh Muhammad Alshareef (rA) shares a personal story about how reading science fiction helped him shape his views on anti-racism and unity. Through this analogy, he emphasized how, as humans, we should come together against a common threat, regardless of race, color, or background. Just like how the world united against the fight against the coronavirus pandemic and how, for the first time in recent history, humanity was on the same page for a common cause. This unprecedented unity echoes the teachings of the Quran and the example of our beloved Prophet Muhammad (PBUH), who urged us to stand together as one Ummah and beyond that, to unite for justice, even with non-Muslims. Look, unity is not just a virtue, but a necessity for Muslims. Allah (SWT), especially in these dark times. Allah commands us to hold firmly to His rope and not to be divided. As an Ummah, our strength lies in our togetherness, whether in times of ease or hardship. Now more than ever, we must rise above differences and stand united for the sake of Allah, supporting one another in faith and action. May Allah keep us united today, tomorrow, and all times to come. Ameen.
In this talk, Shaykh Muhammad Alshareef (rA) shares personal insights and practical advice on how to raise Huffadh — children who memorize the entire Quran. As a young boy sent to an Islamic boarding school to memorize the Quran, Shaykh Muhammad Alshareef (rA) was one of the few who became a Huffadh in his early childhood.His personal story highlights the deep, lifelong attachment that comes from spending intimate hours with the Quran. He emphasizes the importance of raising the standard within our communities, moving beyond the basic goal of reading or memorizing short portions of the Quran, to encouraging children to memorize significant portions, if not the entire Quran.Shaykh (rA) also focused on the crucial role of parents in their children's Quranic education, discussing how the love and discipline instilled at a young age form a foundation that lasts a lifetime. And also warns of the dangers of settling for low community standards and encourages parents to aim higher, preparing their children not just for worldly success, but for the ultimate success in the Hereafter. The significance of parents' influence, the importance of family stability, and how prioritizing Quranic memorization can lead to both intellectual and spiritual excellence.In a time where attention spans are shrinking and Islamic knowledge is often reduced to tweets and quick videos, Shaykh Muhammad Alshareef (rA) reminds us of the value of immersive, focused learning. The practical tips and motivation discussed in this podcast are for all parents who aspire to raise children deeply connected to the Quran and equipped for both this world and the next.
Shaykh Muhammad Alshareef (rA) talks about one of the most inspiring stories from the Seerah of the Prophet ﷺ……focusing on the transformative power of his words and how they touched the hearts of those who came into contact with him, even his adversaries. The difference between praising Allah (alhamdulillah) and expressing thanks (shukr) goes deeper than just textbook definitions.It's about understanding the depth and significance behind these expressions that we often use in our daily lives.Shukr isn't just words, but action—it manifests through our deeds, generosity, and gratitude to Allah for His countless blessings. If you're curious about how these concepts shape our relationship with Allah and those around us, or if you've ever wondered about the deeper meanings behind the praise we offer to our Creator……then hear out Shaykh Muhammad Alshareef (rA) as he explains the concept of Shukr in the light of the Seerah of the Prophet (SAW).
