Binterik On DawahA List of Rules from Your Muslim BoyfriendMuslim men have girlfriends. Let's get that out of the way. They could either be single or married, but they have something in common: thinking they can make rules for their girlfriends to follow, as if they are 1. Muslim women and 2. actually married. You're having cake, brothers, but you're not going to get to eat it, too. Sakina Binterik discusses the many problems with the crazy idea that when you're boyfriend's a Muslim, you have to obey him.

Binterik On DawahSweet Sixteen HijabAny effort towards modesty and towards hijab is to be encouraged, and shame and insults will not help at all. The result is, as it is with Salah, not to make them do it, it is for the motivation to come from them to do it for the sake of Allah. Some Muslims say that hijab is mandatory at the age of sixteen, and they practice this by dressing the girls in all kinds of immodest clothes, then at the age of 16 exactly, boom, down comes the hijab. Illogical and antithetical to tarbiyah, it often does more harm th...

Sakina Binterik discusses the strange and unIslamic phenomenon of Muslim men not providing for their wives, with the result of them having to beg from social services. Why is this a thing?
2023-05-2217 minBinterik On DawahNo Reward for AbuseIf you're the oppressed, has anyone brainwashed you into thinking that you're being rewarded for staying to be harmed over and over? Muslims aren't supposed to harm other Muslims. If that's happening, it should be prevented, either by helping the oppressed or stopping the oppressor. There is to be no harm and no reciprocation of harm. Let's not limit that to defending others: let's start considering this maxim of fiqh to defend ourselves. Sakina Binterik debunks the idea that we are rewarded for allowing ourselves to be abused by other Muslims.
2023-05-2215 minBinterik On DawahIs it For the Sake of Allah?Here's something you're not ready to hear: people-pleasing is hidden shirk. That's why it makes your life miserable, prevents you from success and beneficial relationships, and is at odds with your worship of Allah. The hidden shirk (idolatry) is doing things because you want others to think well of you, not because you are striving to please Allah. Sakina Binterik discusses this trick from Shaytan and how to tell if you are really doing things for the sake of Allah, and how to switch intentions.
2023-05-2216 minBinterik On DawahFalling Into DestructionIf you've ever fallen in love with a non-mahram, you've fallen into destruction. While it might taste sweet and bitter, and deliciously heartbreaking, you're attaching someone to your soul. And it will hurt so much when they are ripped away. Sakina Binterik discusses the harms and the solutions to get out and get away from the vices that drag the Muslim into destruction.
2023-05-2220 minBinterik On DawahThe Collective HijabUs hijabis are all just wearing one, big hijab together. If you're out, and your hijab slips off, your sisters are the first to help you put it back on. So how come we aren't doing that with digital images? Sakina Binterik discusses that if we would pull our sister's hijab back on if we saw it slipped off, why we don't respect our sisters' hijab online and on our phones.
2023-05-2212 minBinterik On DawahJudgey MuslimsWhat kind of Muslim are you? If you've ever been asked that, or been judged by a fellow Muslim, listen to Sakina Binterik refute the use of the statement "We judge by what's apparent". Very, few of us are called upon to make a ruling about another Muslim. If we aren't then we leave alone judging others, offering unrequested advice, shaming and humiliating other Muslims. She mentions the famous work 'The Prophet's Method of Correcting Others' and some notes from that work to remind Muslims how and IF correcting others should be done. Spoiler: probably not.
2023-05-2219 minBinterik On DawahIt Could Be WorseHave you been told, or told to tell yourself, 'It could always be worse' when you've been abused or oppressed? While we are supposed to look to those who have it worse to increase our gratefulness, this idea can make abusive situations last longer, and escalate. Sakina Binterik examines the abuse of hadith in telling those in abusive situations 'It could always be worse'. She examines that result, and what the cycle of abuse continues to tell Muslims: you're a bad Muslim if you don't grin and bear it. After all, it could always be better, too.
