Being mindful of 'Asr Salah

Abul Malih said, “We were on an expedition with Buraydah [Al Aslami – radiyallahu ‘anhu] on a cloudy day when he said, ‘Perform the ‘Asr prayer well inside the time, for Nabi (sallallahu ‘alayhi wa sallam) said, “If someone fails to pray ‘Asr, his actions will be nullified.”

(Sahih Bukhari, Hadith: 553 and 594)

Since people are usually busy with trade and eager to round up their tasks at the time of ‘Asr, they become unmindful of ‘Asr Salah. This is one of the reasons Nabi (sallallahu ‘alayhi wa sallam) singled out ‘Asr Salah.

(Refer: Sahih Muslim with Al Minhaj, Hadith: 1416 and ‘Umdatul Qari)

Fulfilling the debt of a Muslim

Sayyiduna ‘Abdullah ibn ‘Umar (radiyallahu ‘anhuma) related that Nabi (sallallahu ‘alayhi wa sallam) was asked:

“O Messenger of Allah, which of the people are most beloved to Allah, and which deeds are most beloved to Allah?”

Rasulullah (sallallahu ‘alayhi wa sallam) said:

"The people most beloved to Allah are those who are most beneficial to the people; and the most beloved deed to Allah is to make a Muslim happy, or remove one of his troubles, or to fulfill his debt, or to satiate his hunger..."

Recitation for removal of poverty

Hafiz Abu Musa Al Madini (rahimahullah) has reported with his chain, on the authority of Sayyiduna Sahl ibn Sa’d (radiyallahu ‘anhuma) that a man once complained to Rasulullah (sallalahu ‘alayhi wa sallam) about his poverty. Nabi (sallalahu ‘alayhi wa sallam) said to him:
‘When you enter your home, if anyone is there or not, say salam, then send salutations upon me and recite ‘Qul Huwallahu Ahad’ (Surah Ikhlas) once’.

The narrator says that the man did this and soon Allah Ta’ala blessed him with abundant sustenance, so much so that he started assisting his neighbours and relatives.

(See Jalaul Afham pg. 222 and Ad Du’a of Shaykh ‘Abdullah Sirajud Din -rahimahullah- pg. 230)

Actions that attract Barakah in sustenance;

[1] Virtue of Surah Waqi'ah

Sayyiduna ‘Abdullah ibn Mas’ud (radiyallahu’anhu) reported that Rasulullah (sallallahu’alayhi wasallam) said:
‘Surah Waqi’ah will become a protection from poverty for the one who recites it every night.’

The narrator says: ‘Sayyiduna Ibn Mas’ud (radiyallahu’anhu) would teach this Surah to his daughters too.’

Actions that attract Barakah in sustenance;

[2] Reciting Tasbih

Nabi Nuh (‘alayhis salam) advised his son to recite ‘subhanallahi wa bi hamdihi’ as this is the means through which the rest of the creation acquires their sustenance.
This is supported by the verse in the Quran: ‘Everything glorifies His praise (tasbih) but you do not perceive their tasbih.’ (Surah Isra, verse: 44)
(Kashful Astar, Hadith: 3069)

💡One should make a habit of reciting this tasbih at least a hundred times every morning.

Actions that attract Barakah in sustenance;

[3] Establishing Salah

Abu Khallad (rahimahullah) mentioned:
"When a nation is negligent towards Salah, and none prohibits them against this/cautions them except that the first punishment to afflict them will be a decrease of sustenance."
(Fathul Bari of Hafiz Ibn Rajab, vol. 2 pg. 278)

The performance of Salah is closely linked to one’s sustenance. In Surah Taha, Allah Ta’ala mentions:
“Instruct your family to perform Salah and be steadfast in [performing] it. We do not ask you for provision. We provide for you.”
(Surah Taha, Verse: 132)

Hafiz Ibn Kathir (rahimahullah) states under the commentary of this Verse: “If you establish Salah, sustenance will come to you from avenues you did not anticipate.”
(Tafsir Ibn Kathir, Surah: Taha, Verse: 132)

Allahummagh fir li dhambi wa wassi’ li fi dari wa barik li fi rizqi

Translation:
O Allah! Forgive my sins, expand my home and grant me Barakah in my sustenance.

This du’a has been reported from Rasulullah (sallallahu’alayhi wasallam) at different occasions.
One may recite this before wudu, during or after wudu or even after Salah.

Reformation before Alleviation ✅

The current sad state of the Ummah of Nabi Muhammad (sallallahu 'alayhi wasallam) is indeed unprecedented in recent history.

The Ummah is challenged on all fronts; from widespread oppression, to poverty and illness. To the political scandals and the current pandemic etc.

Whilst we believe that every difficulty is undoubtedly followed by ease, the current situation is such, that ease is not yet in sight.

👌🏽The Grand Muhaddith of our era, Shaykh Muhammad ‘Awwamah (hafizahullah) frequently laments over the fact that despite these circumstances, there is still no awakening in the Ummah❗️
How would we then be eligible for Allah’s mercy❓❗️

Shaykh (hafizahullah) recently advised that the following be included in our daily du’as:

اللّٰهُمَّ أَصْلِحْنا وَفَرِّجْ عَنَّا

Allahumma aslih na wa farrij ‘anna

O Allah! Reform us and relieve us.

🤲🏼 May Allah Ta’ala alleviate the suffering throughout the Ummah, soon. Amin.

✔️ Pronunciation of the Rajab du'a 🤲🏼

🔎 Q. In the Rajab du'a, what is the correct pronunciation of the (ب)? Is it في رجبَ or في رجبٍ?

اَللّٰهُمَّ بَارِكْ لَناَ فِيْ رَجَب وَشَعْبانَ وَبَلّغْنَا رَمَضَان

📚 A. The word Rajab is declinable (منصرف i.e. it can take a tanwin). Therefore the du'a is more accurately recited as: بارك لنا في رجبٍ.. (..bariklana fi Rajabin)
(Refer: Al Misbahul Munir, pg. 120 and Al Adab Fi Rajab, pg: 29)

💡قال الفيّومي (رحمه الله): رجب: من الشهور منصرف (المصباح المنير , ص: 120)
💡قال علي القاري (رحمه الله): واعلم أن رجبًا منصرف عند الأكثر, وهو الأظهر (الأدب في رجب, ص: 29)

🔗See the authenticity of this du'a here: hadithanswers.com/authenticity-of-the-rajab-dua/

🔎 And here for when to recite it:
https://hadithanswers.com/when-to-recite-the-dua-of-rajab/

And Allah Ta'ala Knows best.
Answered by: Moulana Suhail Motala
Approved by: Moulana Muhammad Abasoomar,
To recite it without a tanwin (Rajaba) is also one view but not the ideal, as mentioned by Mulla 'Ali Qari (rahimahullah) in the above reference, as well as in Mirqat, hadith: 1369.

The Du’a of the Tabi’un when Ramadan commenced 🤲🏼

👌🏽Abdul ‘Aziz ibn Abi Rawwad (rahimahullah) reports: “The Muslims would make the following du’a when Ramadan commenced:

اللَّهُمَّ أَظَلَّ شَهْرُ رَمَضَانَ وَحَضَرَ، فَسَلِّمْهُ لِي، وَسَلِّمْنِي فِيهِ، وَتَسَلَّمْهُ مِنِّي، اللَّهُمَّ ارْزُقْنِي صِيَامَهُ وَقِيَامَهُ، صَبْرًا وَاحْتِسَابًا، وَارْزُقْنِي فِيهِ الْجِدَّ وَالِاجْتِهَادَ وَالْقُوَّةَ وَالنَّشَاطَ، وَأَعِذْنِي فِيهِ مِنَ السَّآمَةِ وَالْفَتْرَةِ وَالْكَسَلِ وَالنُّعَاسِ، وَوَفِّقْنِي فِيهِ لِلَيْلَةِ الْقَدْرِ، وَاجْعَلْهَا خَيْرًا لِي مِنْ أَلْفِ شَهْرٍ

Allahumma azalla shahru Ramadana wa hadar, fasallimhu li wa sallimni fihi wa tasallamhu minni. Allahummar zuqni siyamahu wa qiyamahu sabran wahtisaban, warzuqni fihil jidda wal ijtihada wal quwwata wan nashat, wa a’idhni fihi minas sa-amati wal fatrati wal kasali wan nu’as, wa waffiqni fihi li laylatil qadr, waj’alha khayral li min alfi shahr

Translation: O Allah! The month of Ramadan has arrived so safeguard it for me, keep me safe in it and accept it from me. O Allah! Allow me to fast and stand in Salah patiently and with anticipation of reward. Bless me during the month with earnestness, the ability to strive, strength and eagerness/energy. Protect me in it from weariness, slackness, laziness and lethargy. Grant me the ability to attain Laylatul Qadr and make it better for me than a thousand months.
(Kitabud Du’a of Imam Tabarani, 914)

Our Nabi’s (sallallahu ‘alayhi wasallam) beautiful, comprehensive Du’a for the Sahabah🤲🏼

Sayyiduna Abu Umamah (radiyallahu ‘anu) said:
"Rasulullah (sallallahu ‘alayhi wasallam) came out to us leaning on a stick. When we saw him, we stood up.
He said: ‘Do not do what the Persians do for their leaders.’

We said: ‘O Messenger of Allah, why don’t you pray to Allah for us?’
He said:

اَللَّهُمَّ اغْفِرْ لَنَا وَارْحَمْنَا, وَارْضَ عَنَّا, وَتَقَبَّلْ مِنَّا, وَأَدْخِلْنَا الْجَنَّةَ, وَنَجِّنَا مِنَ النَّارِ, وَأَصْلِحْ لَنَا شَأْنَنَا كُلَّهُ

‘Allahummaghfirlana, warhamna, wardha ‘anna, wa taqabbal minna, wa adkhilnal-jannah, wa najjina minan-nar, wa aslih lana sha-nana kullah.'

Translation
O Allah, forgive us and have mercy on us, be pleased with us and accept [our good deeds] from us, admit us into Jannah and save us from Jahannam and rectify all our affairs.

It was as if we wanted him to say more, but he said: ‘Have I not summed up everything for you?"
(Sunan Ibn Majah, Hadith: 3836)

📿 There are 7️⃣ things mentioned in this du’a. Each one of them is needed by every person & should therefore be included in our daily du’as.

Love for the Sunnah

The son of Shaykh ‘Awwamah, Dr Muhyuddeen (hafizahumallah), writes:

“My respected father continuously encouraged his family in the home to adopt the various Sunnahs of Nabi (sallallahu ‘alayhi wasallam). He encourages them by saying that these Sunnahs create closeness and love for Rasulullah (sallallahu ‘alayhi wasallam) and being laxed in the Sunnah is a result of hardheartedness, and it distances a person from Rasulullah (sallallahu ‘alayhi wasallam).

Among the Sunnahs that my respected father was very particular about, are the following:

1. Keeping the pants above the ankles.
2. Covering the head.
3. Offering the Sunnah Salah before and after the Fard Salah.
4. Offering the Fard Salah in congregation.
5. Doing every good thing with the right.
6. Spreading the Salam.
(continued)

(Safahatun mudi-ah, pg. 71-73)

🍇🍌 What to do when receiving the 1st Fruit of the Season 🍉🍒🍓

Several Sahabah (radiyallahu'anhum) have
reported that when the first fruit of the season used to be brought to Rasulullah (sallallahu 'alayhi wasallam), he would kiss it, touch it to his eyes & recite the following du’a [among others].
He (sallallahu 'alayhi wasallam) would then give that fruit to the smallest child who was in his presence:

اللهُمَّ كَمَا أَرَيْتَنا أَوَّلَه أَرِنا آخِرَه

Allahumma kama araytana awwalahu, arina akhirahu
Translation: O Allah! just as You have shown us the first of it, allow us to see the last of it.
(Abu Dawud in his Kitabul Maraseel, Ibnus Sunni & Tabarani)
‘Allamah Haythami (rahimahullah) has declared the narration of Tabarani as sahih (authentic).💯

Explanation ⤵️
The reason for giving it to the child is
1⃣ Either because of the similarity between the two that both are new in the world or
2⃣ because of the extreme joy that a child experiences through this.🌟
🔎 The reason for Rasulullah (sallallahu 'alayhi wasallam) kissing the fruit and touching it to his eyes is because it has been newly created by Allah Ta'ala‬‎. Just as he (sallallahu'alayhi wasallam) would go out in the rain and open his chest [so the rain may touch him] & he would say: 'Verily it [the raindrops] have only recently arrived from my Rabb !’
🌧☄💦
💡 Another Lesson
The above also teaches us that: the Sahabah (radiyallahu’anhum) would bring the first produce of their orchards to Rasulullah (sallallahu'alayhi wasallam) to acquire Barakah
✅ Nowadays some people do -admirably-emulate this in a way, by presenting their first produce to their teachers, seniors, elders of the family etc for Barakah.

🤲🏼 Du'a to attain whatever one asks for 🤲🏼

Rasulullah (sallallahu ‘alayhi wa sallam) said:
“Whomsoever recites the following du’a in the morning and evening will be granted whatever he asks of Allah:

اللَّهُمَّ أَنْتَ خَلَقْتَنِي، وَأَنْتَ تَهْدِينِي، وَأَنْتَ تُطْعِمُنِي، وَأَنْتَ تَسْقِينِي، وَأَنْتَ تُمِيتُنِي، وَأَنْتَ تُحْيِينِي

Allahumma anta khalaqtani wa anta tahdini wa anta tut’imuni wa anta tasqini wa anta tumituni wa anta tuhyini

(Al Mu’jamul Awsat, Hadith: 1032)

Sayyiduna Samurah ibn Jundub (radiyallahu ‘anhu) heard this Hadith repeatedly from Nabi (sallallahu ‘alayhi wa sallam), Sayyiduna Abu Bakr and Sayyiduna ‘Umar (radiyallahu ‘anhuma).

This was also the Du'a of Nabi Musa ('alayhissalam).

Sayyiduna Abu Hurayrah (radiyallahu ‘anhu) has narrated that “Rasulullah (sallallahu ‘alayhi wasallam) prohibited that people involve themselves in najash (a form of cheating)”
(Sahih Bukhari, 2140 & Sahih Muslim, 1413)

Explanation
The word najash has two meanings:
1️⃣To praise a product or commodity to push its sale or put it into circulation. (This refers to undue praise void of sincerity. It is done to cheat others and earn a profit, putting the customer at a loss).
2️⃣To increase the price of a certain product or commodity (like: during an auction) without having the intention of buying it.

❗️Both these malpractices are prohibited in this Hadith.
(Al-Minhaj, Hadith: 3790-3797, & An-Nihayah Fi Gharibil Hadith, Letters: ن ج ش)

Making an effort to earn one's livelihood

Sayyiduna Abu Hurayrah (radiyallahu ‘anhu) reports that Rasulullah (sallallahu ‘alayhi wa sallam) said:
“Zakariyya was a carpenter.”
(Sahih Muslim, Hadith: 2379)

‘Allamah Nawawi (rahimahullah) states that this Hadith proves the permissibility of manufacturing/workmanship and that carpentry is not contrary to chivalry. He also states that this Hadith explains the virtue of Nabi Zakariyya (‘alayhis salam) for he would eat through earning a livelihood which Nabi (sallallahu ‘alayhi wa sallam) termed as ‘the best thing a man can eat’.

‘Allamah Ibn Kathir (rahimahullah) has quoted ‘one of the pious predecessors’ to have said: ‘Whoever trades after Jumu’ah salah, will receive seventy times more barakah from Allah.’

He has also cited that the Sahabi; Sayyiduna ‘Irak ibn Malik (radiyallahu’anhu) would also seek his rizq (sustenance) after Jumu’ah.

A du'a to remove debts

Sayyiduna Anas ibn Malik (radiyallahu ‘anhu) reports that Rasulullah (sallallahu ‘alayhi wa sallam) told Mu’adh (radiyallahu ‘anhu), “Should I not teach you a du’a which if you recite, your debts will be cleared even if they equal to mount Uhud?” The du’a is:

اللَّهُمَّ مَالِكَ الْمُلْكِ، تُؤْتِي الْمُلْكَ مَنْ تَشَاءُ، وَتَنْزِعُ الْمُلْكَ مِمَّنْ تَشَاءُ، وَتُعِزُّ مَنْ تَشَاءُ، وَتُذِلُّ مَنْ تَشَاءُ، بِيَدِكَ الْخَيْرُ، إِنَّكَ عَلَى كُلِّ شَيْءٍ قَدِيرٌ، رَحْمانَ الدُّنْيَا وَالْآخِرَةِ تُعْطِيْهِمَا مَنْ تَشَاءُ، وَتَمْنَعُ مِنْهُمَا مَنْ تَشَاءُ، ارْحَمْنِي رَحْمَةً تُغْنِينِي بِهَا عَنْ رَحْمَةِ مَنْ سِوَاكَ

O Allah! Possessor of the kingdom, You give the kingdom to whom You will, and You take the kingdom from whom You will. You grant honour to whom You will and disgrace whom You will. In Your Hand is all good. Verily, You are able to do all things. [O] Most Merciful of this world and the Hereafter, You grant them to whomsoever You wish and You deprive whomsoever You wish.

A du'a for the fulfillment of debts

Sayyidah ‘Aaishah (radiyallahu’anha) says: “Rasulullah (sallallahu ’alayhi wasallam) would seek refuge from debts at the end of his Salah (i.e, before the salam). When he was asked about why he did it so frequently, Rasulullah (sallallahu’alayhi wasallam) said:

“When a man falls into debt, he speaks lies and breaches his promises.”

The words of that du’a are:

اللّٰهُمَّ إني أعُوذُ بِكَ مِنَ المأْثَمِ وَالمَغْرَم

Generosity in Ramadan

Sayyiduna ‘Abdullah ibn ‘Abbas (radiyallahu ‘anhuma) narrates:

‘Rasulullah (sallallahu ‘alayhi wasallam) was the most generous of all the people, and he would peak in generosity during Ramadan when Jibril (‘alayhis salam) used to meet him. Jibril (‘alayhis salam) would meet him every night in Ramadan to revise the Quran. [During those days] Rasulullah (sallallahu ‘alayhi wasallam) was even more generous than the fair winds.’

(Sahih Bukhari, Hadith: 6)

Commentary

This Hadith shows that Quran recital is the best ‘ibadah in Ramadan.

(Fathul Bari, Hadith: 6)

Revising the Quran refers to each one reciting to the other the entire Quran [that was revealed up to that particular Ramadan].

Some Sunnats of Ramadan

The above Hadith illustrates a few additional Sunnahs of Ramadan:

1. Increased generosity. This is in keeping with practice of our Creator Allah as He himself also increases His mercies and generosity in this month. (Lataiful Ma’arif)
2. To complete an entire recital of the Holy Quran like Rasululllah (sallallahu ‘alayhi wasallam) would recite to Jibril (‘alayhis salam).
3. To listen to an entire recital of the Holy Quran, as Rasulullah (sallallahu ‘alayhi wasallam) would listen to the entire recital from Jibril (‘alayhis salam).

During Tarawih, we have an opportunity to listen to the entire Quran. To physically recite it is our onus.

One’s decreed portion of sustenance will definitely reach him

Sayyiduna Jabir (radiyallahu ‘anhu) reports that Rasulullah (sallallahu ‘alayhi wa sallam) said: “If the son of Adam were to flee from his sustenance like how he flees from death, his sustenance would still reach him just as his death reaches him.”

(Hilyatul Awliya, vol. 7 pg. 90 and vol. 8 pg. 246. Also see: Shu’abul Iman, Hadith: 1147-1148)

Explanation

Allah Ta’ala has taken it upon himself to see to the sustenance of his creation (Surah Hud, Verse: 6) and each person will only receive what is decreed for him. This Hadith therefore explains that supposing a person were to flee from his sustenance, he would still get what is decreed for him. The Hadith also encourages moderation in seeking sustenance as a person will only receive what is decreed.

There is no deceit/fraud in Islam

Sayyiduna Ibn ‘Umar (radiyallahu ‘anhu) has narrated that a man mentioned to Rasulullah (sallallahu ‘alayhi wasallam) that he would get conned in business transactions.

Nabi (sallallahu ‘alayhi wasallam) then said: ‘Say to whomsoever you deal with “لا خِلابة”.’

[There is/should be no fraud/deceit]

From then on, whenever he would make a transaction, he would say “لا خلابة”.

(Sahih Muslim, Hadith: 1533)

Explanation

The commentators of Hadith have mentioned the phrase لا خلابة to mean: “There is no deceit or fraud in Islam.”
This is an expression which Rasulullah (sallallahu ‘alayhi wasallam) advised this particular Sahabi to say before enacting any deal so as to warn and remind the other party to remain upright and adhere to the principles and teachings of Islam.

(Refer: Al-Minhaj, Hadith: 3838, Fathul Bari, Hadith: 2117, and Mirqat, Hadith: 2803)

The generosity of Nabi (sallallahu ‘alayhi wa sallam) and the barakah of ten dirhams

Rasulullah (sallallahu ‘alayhi wa sallam) once purchased an upper garment for four dirhams from a fabric merchant. He left the shop wearing the garment, when an Ansari saw him and requested Nabi (sallallahu ‘alayhi wa sallam) to give him the garment. Nabi (sallallahu ‘alayhi wa sallam) removed it, gave it to him and went back to the shop to purchase a new garment for four dirhams. At this point he had two dirhams remaining.

When they reached the owner’s home, Nabi (sallallahu ‘alayhi wa sallam) made salam seeking permission to enter, thrice, as they did not respond after the first salam. They did so as they recognised the voice of Nabi (sallallahu ‘alayhi wa sallam) and wanted the barakah of the du’a/salam of Rasulullah (sallallahu ‘alayhi wa sallam).

Nabi (sallallahu ‘alayhi wa sallam) informed them as to why he accompanied her. They freed her immediately. Nabi (sallallahu ‘alayhi wa sallam) gave them glad tidings of good and Jannah and then said, “Allah Ta’ala has indeed placed barakah in the ten dirhams. Allah clothed his Nabi, clothed an Ansari and freed a slave. I praise Allah who has granted us this sustenance through His power.”
(Al Mu’jamul Kabir, Hadith: 13607)

Why is a loan better than charity?’ He replied, ‘Because the beggar asks when he has something, but the one who asks for loan does so only because he is in need.'”
(Sunan Ibn Majah, Hadith: 2431)

💡Explanation:
Rewards are judged by the circumstances as well as the intentions behind the deed.

The importance of settling debts

Rasulullah (sallallahu’alayhi wasallam) said:

"Every sin shall be forgiven for the martyr besides his debts."

(Sahih Muslim, Hadith: 4860)

NB. There are a few types of debtors

1. One who takes a loan with no intention of re-paying.

2. One who takes a loan with the intention of re-paying, but delays his repayment even though he has the means.

3. One who takes a loan for the wrong reason; like to engage in haram or without any real need. His motive is to waste the wealth of others.

The warnings in the Hadith refers to these 3 types, and the like thereof.

4. As for one who took a loan out of genuine need, with the sincere intention of paying, but failed to settle his debt due to poverty, this kind of a person is not included in these warnings. This person will -insha Allah- not be held responsible in the hereafter. It is hoped that Allah Ta’ala will repay the creditor in the hereafter on behalf of this sincere debtor.

The above applies to all Muslims, the martyr and the non-martyr.

Rasulullah (sallalahu ‘alayhi wasallam) asked: ‘Does your companion have any debt?’

They replied: “Yes, O Rasulullah (sallallahu ‘alayhi wasallam), two gold coins.”

Rasulullah (sallallahu ‘alayhi wasallam) said: ‘[Then] You all perform the Janazah Salah [without me].’

A relative of the deceased then said: “It is upon me O Rasulullah (sallallahu ‘alayhi wasallam) [i.e. I will bear the responsibility of discharging the debt]”

Nabi [sallallahu ‘alayhi wasallam] asked: It is upon you and he is absolved from it [i.e. do you truly take on this responsibility]?

He replied: “Yes”

Rasulullah (sallallahu ‘alayhi wasallam) then performed the janazah salah.

Later on, Rasulullah (sallallahu ‘alayhi wasallam) met him and asked: ‘What have you done [about the debt]’?

He responded: “I haven’t finished [paying it off yet]”

Rasulullah [sallallahu ‘alayhi wasallam] said: “Alleviate [the pain of] your companion and hasten in discharging it.

Thereafter, the relative met Rasulullah (sallallahu ‘alayhi wasallam) and said: “Indeed I have just payed it off O Rasulullah (sallallahu ‘alayhi wasallam).

Rasulullah [sallallahu ‘alayhi wasallam] said: ‘It is now that you have alleviated [the pain of] your companion.’”

Importance of giving sadaqah daily

They [i.e. the Sahabah – radiyallahu ‘anhum] said: “O prophet of Allah! What about that person who doesn’t have anything [to give in charity]?"
Nabi (sallallahu ‘alayhi wasallam) answered: ‘He can work with his hand [i.e. make an earning for himself], then benefit himself and give charity.’
They asked: “If he doesn’t [manage to] do that?”
Nabi (sallallahu ‘alayhi wasallam) replied: ‘He should [then] assist one who is troubled by a need.’
They then asked: “And if he was incapable [of assisting one in need]?”
Nabi (sallallahu ‘alayhi wasallam) said: ‘Then he should enjoin good and prohibit evil.’
They said: “And if he is unable [to do that as well]?”
Nabi (sallalalhu ‘alayhi wasallam) answered: ‘Then he should refrain from evil, for indeed that will be a means of charity for him.’
(Musnad At-Tayalisi, Hadith: 497)

💡Giving sadaqah daily is very effective in keeping harm away and when seeking cure for illnesses.

Sayyiduna Jabir (radiyallahu 'anhu) reports that Nabi (sallallahu 'alayhi wasallam) had purchased a camel from me. Rasulullah (sallallahu 'alayhi wasallam) paid me the price, and gave me a little extra. As I departed, he (sallallahu 'alayhi wasallam) called me back. I thought perhaps Nabi (sallallahu 'alayhi wasallam) was unhappy with the camel and wanted to return it. When I went to him, he said: 'You may keep the money and the camel.'

(Sahih Bukhari, Hadith: 2097 and Sahih Muslim, Hadith: 3626)

Morals

1. When paying our dues, it's good to give a little extra too.

2. Sayyiduna Jabir (radiyallahu 'anhu) had lots of overheads which included the expenses of his seven sisters as well. This was a way in which Nabi (sallallahu 'alayhi wasallam) offered his support to him.

3. Let us also revive this practice, especially when we are purchasing goods from poor vendors on the sidewalks. [on condition they are not exploiting foreign tourists!]

Instead of bargaining with such people, who are in conditions of much need, we ought to be paying the full price.

In some instances we should pay extra with the intention of charity.

At least once in a while, pay the price, take the item and then return it without taking back the money either.

See the joy that this blessed Sunnah of Nabi (sallallahu 'alayhi wasallam) brings to their faces. In fact, the doer too feels a sense of satisfaction in this. It could also be a means of attracting them to Islam. The sunnah of Rasulullah (sallallahu 'alayhi wasallam) is always an attraction to Islam.

Du'a to be free of debts and worries

Sayyiduna Abu Sa’id Al-Khudri (radiyallahu’anhu) reports that once Rasulullah (sallallahu’alayhi wasallam) entered the masjid and found an Ansari Sahabi by the name of Abu Umamah (radiyallahu’anhu) seated therein. Rasulullah (sallallahu’alayhi wasallam) enquired of him:
‘Why is it that I see you in the masjid at a time when there is no salah?’

He replied, ‘O Messenger of Allah! I have a lot of debts and many worries.’

Rasulullah (sallallahu’alayhi wasallam) replied, ‘Should I not teach you something which if you recite, Allah will remove your worries and pay off your debts? Say every morning and evening:

Allahumma Inni a’udhubika minal hammi wal huzni wa a’udhubika minal ‘Ajzi wal kasali wa a’udhubika minal bukhli wal jubni wa a’udhubika min ghalabatid dayni wa qahrir rijal

Translation: O Allah! I seek refuge in you from anxiety and grief and I seek refuge in you from inability and laziness, and I seek refuge in you from cowardice and miserliness and I seek refuge in you from overpowering debts and from the subjection of man.

That Sahabi (radiyallahu’anhu) says, ‘I did so and Allah Ta’ala removed my worries and repaid my debts.’

Showing leniency to the debtor

Sayyiduna Hudhayfah (radiyallahu’anhu) reports that Rasulullah (sallallahu’alayhi wasallam) said:

'There was a man in the past who was about to die. The Angel asked him: ‘Have you ever did any good?’

He replied: ‘I am unaware of such.’

He was told to think again after which he said: ‘I don’t know of anything [good that I did] besides the fact that I would be lenient when dealing with people; I would give time to the one who could still afford and waive [the debt of] the one who couldn’t afford it.’

Allah Ta’ala admitted this person to Jannah.

The reward of granting respite to a debtor

Abu Qatadah (radiyallahu ‘anhu) once demanded payment from his debtor who then disappeared. Abu Qatadah (radiyallahu ‘anhu) located him and [the debtor] said:
‘I am unable to pay.’ After taking an oath from him that he is unable to pay, Sayyiduna Abu Qatadah (radiyallahu ‘anhu) said, I heard Rasulullah (sallallahu ‘alayhi wa sallam) say:

“Whomsoever wishes that Allah save him from the torments of the Day of Qiyamah should grant respite to the insolvent or waive off the debt.”

Abu Bakr (radiyallahu'anhu) vomits out haram food

Sayyidah ‘Aaishah (radiyallahu ‘anha) says:

"Abu Bakr (radiyallahu ‘anhu) had a slave who used to pay him a levy from his earnings and Sayyiduna Abu Bakr would eat from this. One day he brought something and Abu Bakr (radiyallahu ‘anhu) ate from it. The slave asked him, ‘Do you know what this is?’ Abu Bakr (radiyallahu ‘anhu) said, ‘What is it?’ He said, ‘During my days of ignorance, I used to be a soothsayer for a man. I was not good at this, I would only deceive him. He met me and he gave me something for that service and that is what you have eaten from.’ Abu Bakr (radiyallahu ‘anhu) inserted his hand into his mouth and vomited all that he had in his stomach.”

The best type of earning

Sayyiduna Abu Hurayrah (radiyallahu ‘anhu) narrates that Rasulullah (sallallahu 'alayhi wa sallam) said:
The best of earning, is the earnings of that worker who well-wishes [i.e. Is honest, upright, does his work thoroughly and correctly, one who has the well-being of the customer in mind].
(Musnad Ahmad, vol. 2 pg. 334)

💡There are several inspiring examples of the Sahabah (radiyallahu’anhum) & those after them adopting this beautiful quality.

💎One one occasion, a merchant came to sell cloth to Imam Abu Hanifah (rahimahullah).
The merchant wanted 100 dirhams for it.
Imam Abu Hanifah (rahimahullah) said that it’s actually worth more. (Here, the buyer is actually raising the price!)
This person then asked for 200 dirhams for that cloth.
Imam Abu Hanifah (rahimahullah) said: ‘Its worth more than that!’
The person then raised the price to 300 dirhams.
To which Imam Abu Hanifah (rahimahullah) gave the same answer.
When the price was raised to 400, he said:
‘It’s actually worth more, but I’m prepared to pay 400 if you agree.’
(Fadail Abi Hanifah, 1/130)

👌🏽Such was the exemplary traits of our predecessors.

Sahih Bukhari Group Recitals

﷽

Darul Hadith Research Centre Durban, SA, in conjunction with Darul Hadith ‘Awwamiyyah Istanbul, under the auspices of our Ameers; Moulana Haroon Abasoomar and Shaykh Muhammad ‘Awwamah (hafizahumallah) encourage a global initiative of completing as many recitals of Sahih Bukhari as possible, on a daily basis, with the intention of drawing Allah’s mercy during the current epidemic.

Such completions during desperate times, were done by many Scholars of the past and present.

Responsible, qualified ‘Ulama are requested to host such recitals with their peers and followers who are capable enough for this task.
In light of the social restrictions in most countries, social media platforms, like WhatsApp/Telegram groups etc. may be used as an efficient tool for this essential initiative.

Volunteers (ahlul’ilm wal fadl) from around the globe are requested to share in this initiative and join the Whatsapp groups that are created for this purpose by authentic Scholars.
The attached is a basic guideline for distribution of portions to recite. The portions (125 in total) have been balanced, to match different capabilities. Readers may take more than one portion or even share a portion based on their ability, and availability.
A Pdf version of a clear copy of Sahih Bukhari can be downloaded here.
In groups that intend to complete daily khatms, the participants will recite the same allocation daily. (Unless they are able to mutually swop allocations with others on the same group...)

This request is for those who are able to recite properly and are qualified enough.
Volunteers are requested to be steadfast and punctual on the recital. For the acceptance and desired effect of any deed, it is essential to rectify the intention.

The above are mere suggestions, to facilitate ease and practicality.

May Allah Ta’ala alleviate the global suffering quickly.

See this link for more on this topic.

Note:

There are many ways to reach Allah. Ideally, every sort of (recommended/permissible) means should be adopted. Therefore, other forms of dhikr, du’a, sadaqah, salawat on Nabi (sallallahu ’alayhi wasallam) and tilawah etc, in addition to medical precautions must continue as well.

👌🏽 The Importance Of Acquiring Wealth Only Through Halal Avenues ✅

Sayyiduna Abu Hurayrah (radiyallahu ‘anhu) reports that Nabi (sallallahu ‘alayhi wa sallam) said:
“A time will come when a person will not care how he gains his money, legally [through halal] or illegally [through haram].”
(Sahih Bukhari, Hadith: 2059)

📝 Explanation
The major cause for such a trait is greed & love for worldly wealth.
The further in time we go, the closer we get to this ⬆.
Therefore one needs increased vigilance coupled with consultation with ‘Ulama for guidance on one’s means of livelihood.
🤲🏼 May Allah Ta’ala grant us all pure, halal sustenance.

The most beloved place and the most hated place to Allah

Sayyiduna Abu Hurayrah (radiyallahu ‘anhu) narrates that Rasulullah (sallallahu ‘alayhi wa sallam) said:
“The most beloved places to Allah are the Masjids, and the most hated places to Allah are the souks (market places).”
(Sahih Muslim, Hadith: 671)
One reason for the market place being most detested by Allah, is the prevalence of abundant sin and vice therein.

💎 Moral
Besides those who are required to be at the markets for trade & for earning a livelihood, one should spend as less time as possible in the market places.
Only go per need.

⛔Merely going for a walk to the Mall, Souk etc [or just to pass time] is not encouraged.
❗Failure to adhere to this Prophetic teaching brings limitless harm & no good.

♨ Among the harms are:
1⃣ Wastage of wealth [by being tempted into purchasing what one has no genuine need for.
2⃣ Wastage of valuable time in ’the most hated place to Allah’!
3⃣ Casting forbidden gazes at [& intermingling with] the opposite gender, which has lasting ill effects.
4⃣ Involuntary listening to music that is played in the shops.
5⃣ Being exposed to violent crime.
6⃣ Exposing one’s children to all of the above ⬆, when they are taken along [or sent on their own for no genuine need to the mall]❗

🤲🏼 May Allah Ta’ala safeguard one and all.

The worst of places ❗

Sayyiduna Jubayr ibn Mut’im (radiyallahu ‘anhu) narrates:
A man came to Rasulullah (sallallahu ‘alayhi wa sallam) and asked: “O Rasulullah! Which cities are the worst?” Rasulullah (sallallahu ‘alayhi wa sallam) said: “I do not know.” Later when Jibril (‘alayhis salam) appeared, Rasulullah (sallallahu ‘alayhi wa sallam) asked: “O Jibril! Which are the worst cities?” Jibril (‘alayhis salam) said: “I do not know, I have to ask my Rabb.” After some time, he returned, and said: “O Muhammad! Verily, you asked me: ‘Which are the worst cities?’ I had said that ‘I do not know.’ I have asked my Rabb, He says: “The souks (market places).”
(Musnad Ahmad, 4/81 & Mustadrak Hakim, 1/89,90.)

💡The previous broadcast had a Hadith close to this one.
There are other similar Hadiths on this topic too.

The Good💯& Bad♨of acquired wealth

Rasulullah (sallallahu’alayhi wasallam) said (as part of a lengthy Hadith):
"Wealth is an excellent achievement for the one who takes [his share of] wealth rightfully, [through halal means, and] by spending it in the path of Allah, and on the orphans, the needy and the travellers.

And he who doesn’t fulfill its right will be like [an animal] that eats but doesn’t get satisfied, and it [the wealth] will be a proof against him on the day of Qiyamah."
(Sahih Bukhari, Hadith: 2842)

Moral
❗Not fulfilling the right of wealth applies at both stages;
1⃣acquiring it through Haram/dubious sources &
2⃣not spending in the avenues of good, like the ones cited in the Hadith.

❗Some people initially justify their ‘over acquisition’ of wealth with good intentions. However, after receiving the wealth [be-it through halal avenues] they fail to make good on those initial intentions.
That is what leads a person to being unsatisfied, & as the Hadith states: [he becomes like an animal] that eats but doesn’t get satisfied, and it [the wealth] will be a proof against him on the day of Qiyamah."

💎On the other hand, there are many even in this day & age [of widespread greed], who have adopted the first part of this Hadith, & spend limitless in avenues of good, after earning from halal sources.

🤲🏼 May Allah Ta’ala increase their numbers.

"Whoever acquires haram (unlawful) wealth and then gives charity from it, will not be rewarded and will be sinful.”
(Sahih Ibn Hibban; Al Ihsan, Hadith: 3367)

Morals
⛔Giving charity like the above does not legalise that Haram wealth in any way.
🛑 There is no ‘Robin Hoodism’ in Islam.

💎Allah is Pure and only accepts what is Pure.

The importance of settling debts or arranging for it to be settled before one passes away

Sayyiduna Abu Musa Al Ash’ari (radiyallahu ‘anhu) reports that Rasulullah (sallallahu ‘alayhi wa sallam) said:
"Among the greatest of sins in Allah’s sight committed, after the major sins which Allah has prohibited, is for a man to die while in debt, without making any [arrangement] for it to be paid off.”
(Sunan Abi Dawud, Hadith: 3335)

Lesson:
💎Taking loans for justified needs isn’t wrong.
However, not being sincere in settling the debt is a major wrong❗️
👌🏽One’s Intention should always be clean, as that draws Allah’s help in such matters.

A du'a for settling debts

Sayyiduna ‘Ali (radiyallahu’anu) said that Rasulullah (sallallahu ‘alayhi wasallam) prescribed the following du’a for the settling of debts:

اَللّٰہُمَّ اكْفِنِىْ بِحَلَالِكَ عَنْ حَرَامِكَ وَ اَغْنِنِىْ بِفَضْلِكَ عَمَّنْ سِوَاكَ

‘Allahummak fini bi halalika 'an haramika wa aghnini bi fadhlika 'amman siwak.’

(Sahih Bukhari,1393)

(Sunan Tirmidhi,1982 & Sahih Ibn Hibban,3022)

🌷Sayyidatuna Ummu Salamah (radiyallahu’anha) reports that Rasulullah (sallallahu’alayhi wasallam) said: ‘When you attend a funeral (or visit a sick person), then speak good [about the deceased/the sick], for the Angels say amin to your du'a.'
(Sahih Muslim,2126)

✅ Let’s abide by the above. After all, we too would like to be remembered for our good after we leave this world...

🍇🍌 What to do when receiving the 1st Fruit of the Season 🍉🍒🍓

اللهُمَّ كَمَا أَرَيْتَنا أَوَّلَه أَرِنا آخِرَه
Allahumma kama araytana awwalahu, arina akhirahu

Translation: O Allah! just as You have shown us the first of it, allow us to see the last of it.
(Abu Dawud in his Kitabul Maraseel, Ibnus Sunni & Tabarani)
‘Allamah Haythami (rahimahullah) has declared the narration of Tabarani as sahih (authentic).💯

Explanation ⤵
The reason for giving it to the child is
1⃣ Either because of the similarity between the two that both are new in the world or
2⃣ because of the extreme joy that a child experiences through this.🌟
🔎 The reason for Rasulullah ﷺ kissing the fruit and touching it to his eyes is because it has been newly created by Allah ﷻ‬‎. Just as he ﷺ would go out in the rain and open his chest [so the rain may touch him] & he would say: 'Verily it [the raindrops] have only recently arrived from my Rabb !’
🌧☄💦

💡 Another Lesson
The above also teaches us that: the Sahabah (radiyallahu’anhum) would bring the first produce of their orchards to Rasulullah ﷺ to acquire Barakah
✅ Nowadays some people do -admirably-emulate this in a way, by presenting their first produce to their teachers, seniors, elders of the family etc for Barakah.

Looking at the Imam during the Friday Khutbah 🕌

Question 🔎
Is there any hadith about looking at the imam during the Jumu’ah khutbah🎙?
Have any of the Fuqaha written that this practice is sunnah?

Answer
Yes, indeed. 🎯
The men in the congregation are encouraged to face the Imam without turning their chests away from the qiblah during the khutbah.
Imam Bukhari (rahimahullah) has named a chapter in his sahih as:
Chapter on the imam facing the congregation, & them facing the imam during the khutbah 👓
✏ Under this chapter he has cited the hadith of Sayyiduna Abu Sa’eed Al-Khudry (radiyallahu’anhu): “Rasulullah ﷺ sat on the minbar one day and we (the Sahabah-radiyallahu’anhum) sat around him.” (i.e, and faced him)
(Sahih Bukhari, 921)
✏ Imam Bukhari (rahimahullah) supports this by saying: “Sayyiduna ‘Abdullah ibn ‘Umar and Sayyiduna Anas (radiyallahu’anhuma) faced the imam (i.e, during the khutbah)

The view of the Fuqaha📚
Imam Tirmidhi (rahimahullah) also included a chapter like this in his Sunan.
✏ He writes: “This practice has been preferred by the Sahabah and other ‘Ulama, like Imam Sufyan Thawri, Imam Shafi’i, Imam Ahmad & Imam Is-haq ibn Rahuyah (rahimahumullah).”
Moulana Anwar Shah Kashmiri (rahimahullah) says:
✅ “The sunnah is to face the imam.”
(Faydul Bari, 2/337)
Hafiz Ibn Hajar (rahimahullah) – the famous commentator on Sahih Bukhari- says:
✅ “This practice is Mustahab (good) according to the majority of the scholars.”
(Fathul Bari, hadith:921)
Ibnul Mundhir (rahimahullah) said:
✅ “I don’t know of any difference of opinion on this… there is almost consensus on the issue”
✏ The Hanafi commentator of Bukhari; ‘Allamah ‘Aini (rahimahullah) quotes from Al-Mabsut- a classical Hanafi fiqh book-, that Imam Abu Hanifah (rahimahullah) would sit in the row (saff) and after the (second) adhan, he would turn his head to face the imam. i.e, without turning his entire body. 🌟
(‘Umdatul Qari, hadith: 921)
💡 Note: If one cannot turn his head towards the imam without turning his chest away from the qiblah, then such a person should rather face the qiblah, instead of disrupting the straight row –saff
(Ma’arifus sunan, 4/364)

And Allah Ta’ala Knows best,

Suggested du'a for driving in slippery conditions 🌧 🚘

'Allamah Sakhawi (rahimahullah) has quoted a Scholar from the past to have suggested the following du'a for protection against ones conveyance skidding/slipping:

إنَّ اللهَ يُمْسِكُ السَّماواتِ وَالأَرْضَ أَنْ تَزُولا
InnAllaha yumsikus samawati wal arda an tazula

Indeed Allah ﷻ‬ is the One who keeps the heavens and the earth from moving/shaking.
(Al-Ibtihaj, bi adhkaril musafiri wal haaj)

💡This du'a is quite apt & is derived from ayah: 41 in surah: 35

﷽
💯 Sources of good; alleviating distress, concealing faults, seeking knowledge and gathering to recite Quran ✅

Sayyiduna Abu Hurayrah (radiyallahu 'anhu) reported that Nabi ﷺ said:
🌍 "Whosoever removes a worldly grief from a believer, Allah will remove from him one of the grievances of the Day of Qiyamah. Whosoever alleviates the needs a needy person, Allah will alleviate his needs in this world and the next.
Whosoever conceals the faults of a Muslim, Allah will conceal his faults in this world and the next. Allah will aid a servant [of His] so long as the servant aids his brother. Whosoever follows a path to seek knowledge therein, Allah will make easy for him a path to Jannah.

🕌 No people gather together in one of the houses of Allah, reciting the Book of Allah and studying it among themselves, except tranquility descends upon them, mercy envelopes them, the Angels surround them, and Allah makes mention of them among those who are with Him. Whosoever is slowed down by his actions will not be hastened forward by virtue of his lineage."
(Sahih Muslim, Hadith: 2699)

﷽
🌌 What to do after seeing a bad dream

Question 🔍
Is there mention in the Hadith regarding any Du'a to be read after seeing a bad dream?

Answer 🔦
1⃣Sayyiduna Abu Qatadah (radiyallahu 'anhu) reports that Nabi ﷺ said:
...When one of you sees something that you dislike in a dream, then he should lightly spit/blow on his left side and seek Allah's protection from the evil of what he saw, for it will not harm him.

📑Some narrations have the words:
⛔ And he should not inform anyone of this dream.
(Sahih Bukhari, Hadith: 3292 and Sahih Muslim, Hadith: 5857 and 5862)

2⃣Rasulullah ﷺ said, 'If one of you becomes afraid in his sleep, then he should say:
A'uzu bi kalimatillahit taammah min ghadabihi wa 'iqabihi wa sharri 'ibadihi wa min hamazatish shayatini wa ay yahdurun'
(Sunan Tirmidhi, Hadith: 3528, with a sound chain)

💡Although the above narration does not specifically state becoming afraid due to seeing a bad dream, the Hadith is general and could include this instance.

💧Shaykh Al Muhaddith Muhammad Zakariyya (rahimahullah) has stated in his commentary on Sahih Bukhari, under the chapter of 'The virtue of sleeping with wudu', 'If a person sleeps with wudu, he will be protected from bad dreams and from the evil whisperings of Shaytan.'
(Taqrir Bukhari, vol.2 pg. 78)

And Allah Ta'ala Knows best

﷽
What to [& not to] do in Isolation? ⛺🏠

Sayyiduna ‘Uqbah ibn ‘Amir (radiyallahu’anhu) enquired from Rasulullah ﷺ as to what to do for salvation [from fitnah]?
Nabi ﷺ replied: ‘Guard your tongue, remain in your home and cry over your sins.’🏡❌
(Sunan Tirmidhi, Hadith: 2406)

❗At times of difficulty like the present, whilst in isolation at home, one should engage in abundant istighfar & tawbah (repentance) as well as other forms of dhikr.📿

💎 Some of the senior Scholars have advised to recite the following frequently:
Nastagh firullah
Translation: We all seek Allah’s forgiveness.

💡Be sure to guard your tongue👅 & thumb ✍🏼📱(on SM)
⛔In fact, one should avoid social media as much as possible.
⛔Refrain from passing time on the 💻Internet, 📺television, 🕹🎮gaming consoles etc.
📵📴It will be as sad as ever, if one were to spend such days in entertainment rather than worship.
📖📍Further, to preserve the state of mind, one should engage in abundant tilawah/recitation of the Holy Quran. The Quran is a solution for all conditions.

Every condition is from Allah, & only He can remove it
✅One should recite inna lillahi wa inna ilayhi raji’un regularly in these conditions.
(Surah Baqarah: 156)
🤲🏼 May Allah Ta’ala alleviate the current crisis soon, very soon. Amin.

﷽
Du'a when Ramadan arrives

Sayyiduna ‘Ubadah ibn Samit (radiyallahu’anhu) reports that Rasulullah ﷺ use to teach the Sahabah (radiyallahu’anhum) the following Du’a when the Blessed month of Ramadan would arrive:

اَللّٰهُمَّ سَلّمْنِيْ لِرَمَضانَ وَسَلّمْ رَمَضانَ لِيْ وَسَلّمْه لِي مُتَقَبَّلا

(رواه الطبراني في الدعاء والديلمي ، وسنده حسن- كنز العمال 8/584)

Allahumma sallimni li Ramadana, wa sallim Ramadana li, wa sallimhu li mutaqabbala

Translation: O Allah! preserve me for Ramadan, safeguard Ramadan for me and accept it from me.

Explanation
🖊 “Preserve me for Ramadan” means: O Allah! allow me to remain healthy and able so I may benefit from Ramadan. It shouldn’t be that when Ramadan arrives, I am caught up in some unfortunate condition that hinders our Fast, ‘ibadah etc.

🖊 “Safeguard Ramadan for me” means: In addition to being able, O Allah! grant me the tawfeeq (ability) to maximise my benefit from this auspicious occasion. Many able people witness this month but fail to actually benefit from it. These people are truly unfortunate! May Allah save us.

🖊 “and accept it from me” means: O Allah! after inspiring me to be devoted throughout the month, don’t let it go to waste by not accepting it.

The Habit of the Salaf (predecessors) 👌🏼

1⃣ The famous Tabi’i: Imam Makhool (rahimahullah) would recite this du’a at the beginning of Ramadan.

2⃣ ‘Abdul ‘Azeez ibn Abi Rawwad (Demise: 159 A.H.) said that “the muslims would recite” a similar du’a (with additions to the above wording) upon the arrival of Ramadan.

3⃣ Imam Muhammad ibn Nasar Al-Marwazi has stated that it was the habit of the Sahabah (radiyallahu’anhum) and the Tabi’un (rahimahumullah) to recite this du’a when Ramadan arrived.

4⃣ The reliable Tabi’i; Yahya Ibn Abi Katheer (rahimahullah) said:
“It was their habit (the Sahabah and Tabi’un) to make this du’a…”
------
May Allah ﷻ‬‎ bless us with all of the above this Ramadan.

Salatut Tasbeeh 📿

﷽

On Mubarak (blessed) nights, we are encouraged to offer salatut tasbeeh 📿
One who offers this salah, will have all his/her sins forgiven including the major sins.💎

⏱Approximate duration for this salah: 25 mins.
There are several methods for offering this salah. One should stick to whichever is easy.
Hereunder is 1 simple format for Salatut Tasbeeh in light of what is mentioned in Sunan Tirmidhi, after hadith: 481:
Make the niyyah: O Allah I intend offering 4 rak'ats nafl, salatut tasbeeh for your sake facing the qiblah.

💡After commencing the salah, recite the thana. Before the surah fatihah, recite the tasbeeh mentioned at the end of this message 15 times.🚩
Thereafter recite the qirat as normal.
At the end of the qirat, before going into ruku' recite the tasbeeh 10 times.🚩
In ruku' [after reciting the normal 'Subhaana Rabbiyal 'Azeem'] recite the tasbeeh below 10 times.🚩
When standing after ruku' [after reciting 'Rabbana lakal Hamd'] recite the tasbeeh 10 times.🚩
In each sajdah [after reciting 'Subhana Rabbiyal A'la] recite the tasbeeh below 10 times.🚩
Between the 2 sajdahs also recite 10 times.🚩
When one rises for the second rak'at [& the rest of the rak'ats] do as mentioned above.👆🏽
In this manner one would recite this tasbeeh 75 times in each rak'at x4 rak'ats = 300 times in the entire salah. 🏁

💡 If one forgets to recite at a particular juncture, it may be added to the next posture.

The tasbeeh to be recited is:
Subhaanallaahi wal Hamdu lillahi walaa ilaaha illallaahu WAllaahu Akbar📿
See here for a detailed discussion on the authenticity of Salatut Tasbeeh:

﷽
What to do on Auspicious Nights?

Our Beloved Nabi ﷺ has mentioned:
“Indeed your Rabb has reserved certain special moments in time (in which he emits abundant/special mercy)
Be sure to avail yourselves for these opportunities.” (Majma’uz Zawaaid)
We are usually aware of the significant occasions that present themselves each year. The crucial thing is how do we “avail ourselves” and maximise our benefit from these blessed nights?
Here under is a suggested format for “What to do on Blessed nights?”
Practicing on the following 10 points won't take more than an hour insha Allah.

6⃣ Tilawat (Recital) of Quran.
7⃣ Salawat on Rasulullah ﷺ
8⃣ Dhikr.
There are many forms of Dhikrullah. the following are suggested:
A hundred times “Laa ilaah illallah”
A hundred times repeating the name of “Allah”
And a hundred times:
“Subhaanallahi wabihamdihi subhanallahil ‘Azeem”
9⃣ Du’a.
“Du’a is the essence of Worship” and hence cannot be omitted when we engage in worship.
More so on occasions when Almighty Allah ﷻ‬‎ accepts duas such as on the night of Qadr. One should spend a lengthy duration in begging from Allah, as we are all in need of it.
💡 Do not forget the du’a for laylatul qadr:
Allahumma innaka ‘afuwwun tuhibbul ‘afwa fa’fu ‘anni
In light of the current world crisis, do remember our oppressed brethren around the globe.
🔟 Tawbah.
The procedure for Tawbah is:
a. Perform two rak’aats of Salaah. (Optional)
b. Stop the sin that one is repenting from.
c. Regret the sin from the bottom of your heart.
d. Make a determined pledge with Allah ﷻ‬‎ never to repeat that sin.Besides the two rak’aats of Salah,the remainder are all fundamental.

❗Furthermore, if the sin involved usurping the right of the next person, one needs to ask him/her for forgiveness too. Without this we are not guaranteed forgiveness.
❗If that person has passed away, we could make dua for him and repay the debt (if any) to his/her heirs.

📌 Note 1: The above can all be achieved in about 1 hour only.
Salatut Tasbeeh: 20 mins
Tawbah: can be incorporated in the du’a
Zikr: 10 mins
Salawaat: 5 mins
Tilawat: 15 mins
Du’a & Tawbah: 10 mins
However if one is short on time for whatever reason, then the following 5 points are suggested:
a) Esha & Fajr with Jamat
b) Sleep with Wudhu
c) Abstain from sin
d) clean the heart
e) Du'a
📌 Note 2: The night commences at Maghrib, not after Esha or after Taraweeh or at Sehri time. Therefore one can and should commence ‘ibadah from Maghrib, although it is indeed best to do so at the last part of the night.
📌 Note 3: These are mere suggestions intended to make it easy for people. One may engage in whatever form of ‘ibadah one is comfortable with.
🤲🏼 May Allah Ta’ala grant us all complete forgiveness and steadfastness on guidance. Ameen.

🕯Please do remember the writer in your supplication as well.

No Suffering goes unrewarded 💎

Difficulty and hardship have become widespread in the world today.
People are suffering in various forms throughout the globe. The simple solution for this is a ‘collective revival’ of the Sunnah of our Beloved Nabi (sallallahu’alayhi wasallam).

Nevertheless, for a believer, no difficulty, loss or suffering goes unrewarded.
Hereunder are three authentic Hadiths [from among many] on this topic, as a reminder and inspiration to all:

1️⃣ Sayyidah ‘Aaishah (radiyallahu’anha) reports that Nabi (sallallahu’alayhi wasallam) said:
’Every calamity/difficulty that befalls a Muslim is a means of Allah expiating his sins, even if it’s [as trivial as] a thorn prick.’
(Sahih Bukhari,5640 & Sahih Muslim,2572)

2️⃣ Sayyiduna 'Abdullah ibn Mas’ud (radiyallahu’anhu) reports that Rasulullah (sallallahu’alayhi wasallam) said:
’By the oath of Allah! When a Muslim is harmed by illness or anything else, Allah sheds his sins from him, like a tree sheds its leaves.’
(Sahih Bukhari,5648 & Sahih Muslim,2571)

3️⃣ Sayyiduna Anas (radiyallahu’anhu) reports that Nabi (sallallahu’alayhi wasallam) said:
’The greater the test [on someone] the greater the reward [from Allah]. When Allah loves a people, he tests them, those who are pleased [with Allah’s decision] receive Allah’s pleasure [in return]. Those who are unhappy, will receive Allah’s wrath.’
(Sunan Tirmidhi, Hadith: 2396)

🤲🏼 May Allah Ta’ala alleviate the distress in the world, reward all believers for their sufferings, and grant us sabr (patience) over our losses. Amin.

subhanallahil azeemi wa bi hamdihi

✍🏼 The actual cause for our pitiful state. ⏳

📚Al-‘Allamatul Muhaddith, Shaykh Muhammad ‘Awwamah (hafizahullah) often cites the following eye-opening incident from the life of Sayyiduna Abud Darda (radiyallahu’anhu).
Sayyiduna Abud Darda (radiyallahu’anhu) was given the title: ‘Hakimul Ummah’ [the wise one of the Ummah] by Nabi (sallallahu’alayhi wasallam).

Shaykh (hafizahullah) says:
‘Among the wisdoms of Sayyiduna Abud Darda is the following:’

🏹When the Muslim army conquered the Island of Cyprus (in the year 32 A.H.) it was a day of double joy; the joy of conquest, and further; the joy of it being the first successful battle of the Muslims that they fought across the ocean.

Despite this, Sayyiduna Abud Darda (radiyallahu’anhu) was seen sitting in a corner in seclusion crying.

Someone said to him: ‘O Abud Darda! This is a day to rejoice, and you are crying?’

He replied: ‘See the condition of these people. Despite their might and power, they have been defeated.

ما أَهْوَنَ الخلقُ على الله إذا ضيَّعُوا أمرَ الله

How utterly despicable does the creation become in the sight of Allah, when they discard His commands.’

⭐Shaykh (hafizahullah) says: ’These words of Sayyiduna Abud Darda (radiyallahu’anhu) should ring in our ears and flow on our tongues all the time. As a reminder of why we as an Ummah have reached such a depth of humiliaiton.

May Allah Ta’ala grant us the ability to reform, and become eligible for His divine assistance, soon, very soon.

👌🏽 The generosity of Nabi (sallallahu ‘alayhi wasallam) and the barakah of ten dirhams 🌟

💭When doing any deed, one's duty is to ensure sincerity of intention. Allah Ta'ala is the One who accepts, and grants barakah as He pleases.
✔️Hereunder is an inspiring incident of Rasulullah (sallallahu 'alayhi wasallam):

Rasulullah (sallallahu ‘alayhi wa sallam) once purchased a garment for four dirhams. An Ansari saw him and requested Nabi (sallallahu ‘alayhi wa sallam) to gift the garment to him. Nabi (sallallahu ‘alayhi wa sallam) did so and went back to purchase a new garment for four dirhams. At this point he had two dirhams remaining.

On the way back, he saw a slave girl weeping. Her owners had given her two dirhams to purchase flour, but she misplaced the dirhams. Nabi (sallallahu ‘alayhi wa sallam) gave her the two remaining coins. She turned to proceed, but she was still crying as she feared her owner will beat her. Rasulullah (sallallahu ‘alayhi wa sallam) accompanied her to her master, who freed her immediately.
Nabi (sallallahu ‘alayhi wa sallam) gave them glad tidings of good and Jannah and then said, “Allah Ta’ala has indeed placed barakah in the ten dirhams. Allah clothed his Nabi, clothed an Ansari and freed a slave. I praise Allah who has granted us this sustenance through His power.”
(Al Mu’jamul Kabir, Hadith: 13607)

💡Moral:
One never knows how far reaching the sadaqah could be. Our duty is to spend with ikhlas, whilst ensuring our earnings are pure, and Allah Ta’ala does the rest.

📈In a Hadith of Sahih Bukhari (Hadith: 1344), Nabi (sallallahu'alayhi wasallam) said that sometimes Allah Ta'ala inflates the [reward of] the charity of a few grams to the size of a huge mountain, when the charity is from a pure source.

Admirable traits of a Muslim Trader 👌🏽

Hadhrat Jabir (radiyallahu 'anhu) reports that Rasulullah (sallallahu 'alayhi wa sallam) said:
"May Allah Ta'ala have mercy on the one who is gentle at the time of selling, buying and requesting payment."
(Sahih Bukhari, Hadith 2076)

💎 Morals 💎
1⃣ SubhanAllah! What a grand position of honour for those who are considerate and gentle when buying, selling or requesting payment!

2⃣ Rasulullah (sallallahu 'alayhi wa sallam) made a special dua [of mercy] for them and his dua is accepted without doubt.

3⃣ If this had been the only virtue, it would have been more than enough. However, apart from this, the businessman will also be rewarded for his gentleness and consideration.

4⃣ If traders apply this principle in their business, not only will they gain the dua of Rasulullah (sallallahu 'alayhi wa sallam), but they will also please their customers and see their businesses flourish. Customers will return to them...

5⃣ When a person follows Shariat of Islam, he enjoys an honourable life with ease and comfort and secures the benefits of both the worlds.

This noble trait of gentleness when dealing with others is quickly leaving the Ummah! Let’s take note and inculcate it, thereby inspiring others

*’If you all depend on Allah with due reliance, He will certainly give you provision as He gives it to birds; who go forth hungry in the morning and return with full bellies at dusk.”
(Sunan Tirmidhi,2344, Sunan Ibn Majah,4164, Musnad Ahmad,1/30,52)
Imam Tirmidhi (rahimahullah) has declared the Hadith authentic.
Lessons 👌🏽
There are 2 main points in this Hadith:
1⃣ The encouragement of placing trust on Allah (tawakkul) as He is the sole provider.
2⃣ This Hadith says: be like the birds who leave in the morning...
Thus illustrating that to leave the home for a livelihood is not against tawakkul.

✍🏼 One should do whatever is within one’s means, but have complete reliance on Allah’s decision.

The best days for sadaqah, & all other nafl deeds

Rasulullah ﷺ said:
‘There are no other days in which Allah loves good deeds more than on these [10] days.’
(Sahih Bukhari)

Nabi ﷺ actually labelled these days as: ‘The best days in the world.’
(Musnad Bazzar)

All Deeds are most beloved to Allah on these days ⚡
During this time of the year, any good deed one does, is most loved by Allah ﷻ‬‎ ; be that even a deed as easy as a subhanallah or one penny spent in charity.

One should put on his/best behaviour during these days too...
There is no better time in the whole year to do good than these blessed days [and nights], other than on Laylatul Qadr. Let’s make the most of it.

Rizq is only from Allah

Sayyiduna Abu Dharr (radiyallahu ‘anhu) reports that Rasulullah (sallallahu ‘alayhi wa sallam) said:
“I know a verse in the Quran which will suffice people's needs if they all accept it and act accordingly:

ومن يتق الله يجعل له مخرجا ويرزقه من حيث لا يحتسب

"And whoever fears Allah Ta'ala, for him shall Allah Ta'ala create an exit [from problems] and provide sustenance from unexpected sources".
(Sunan Ibn Majah,4220 & Sahih Ibn Hibban; Al Ihsan,6669)

Lesson
👌🏽When doing business, we are sometimes faced with the temptation of cheating/speaking lies etc with the hope of increasing our earnings.
At moments like those, this ⬆Hadith should inspire us to refrain.

Sustained through the ‘barakah’ of our dependants 💎👥

Sayyiduna Anas (radiyallahu ‘anhu) reports:
"There were two brothers during the time of Rasulullah (sallallahu ‘alayhi wa sallam). One of them regularly came to visit Nabi (sallallahu ‘alayhi wa sallam) [to learn], while the other used to work. One day the working brother complained to Nabi (sallallahu ‘alayhi wa sallam) about his brother [who did not work]. Rasulullah (sallallahu ‘alayhi wa sallam) replied:
"[You complain to me about him not doing anything.] Perhaps you are receiving your sustenance [rizq] because of him."
(Sunan Tirmidhi, 2345)

Moral 👌🏽
There are several Hadiths like the above.
💡Rizq is only from Allah.
Allah Ta’ala chooses the reasons for which He blesses us. Sometimes, it could be due to the needs of our dependants, or because of our generosity to others who are closer to Allah, than ourselves..
💡The expenses of our dependants should never be viewed as burdens. Allah Ta’ala is the Sole Provider.
🤲🏼 May Allah Ta’ala grant us all, barakah & contentment.

💰 Profit doesn’t necessarily equal Barakah ⚖

Sayyiduna Hakim ibn Hizam (radiyallahu ‘anhu) reports that Rasulullah (sallallahu ‘alayhi wa sallam) said:
’...If the buyer & seller spoke the truth [regarding the price, for example] & explained [any defects in the goods sold], they will be blessed in their sale. And if they speak lies and conceal defects, they will probably earn profit but will destroy the blessings of their sale.’
(Sahih Bukhari,2114 & Sahih Muslim,1532 with variation in the wording)

Moral 👌🏽
Deceit, lies & fraud are not worth the trouble, even they fetch higher profits.
Don’t get tempted with the apparent potential for profit, if it entails deception. Such profit will have zero barakah.

Land Appropriation

Rasulullah (sallallahu 'alayhi wasallam) is reported to have said:
‘Whoever usurps a handspan of land unjustly will [be punished] on the day of Qiyaamah, with a collar made from the seven earths being chained/yoked around his neck.’
(Sahih Bukhari, Hadith: 2452 and Sahih Muslim, Hadith: 1610)

Moral
Sometimes one feels appeased with usurping the wealth of others. Remember, it will never be left the unpunished.
Feeling a sense of victory might bring temporary satisfaction, but ultimately Allah is fully aware of all our deeds; the good and the bad. He will definitely deal with the wrong doers.

The Effect of Haram on our Du'as

“O people, indeed Allah Ta’ala is Pure and accepts only that which is pure. Allah Ta’ala has commanded the believers with the same command that He gave to the Ambiya (‘alayhimus salam). Allah Ta’ala has said: “O Messengers, consume that which is pure and wholesome and perform righteous actions. Indeed I am all aware with what you do.” Allah Ta’ala has mentioned: “O believers, consume from the pure and wholesome foods that We have provided for you.”

Thereafter, Rasulullah (sallallahu ‘alayhi wa sallam) explained the condition of a person who had undertook a long, arduous journey. His hair was dishevelled and his clothing was covered in dust. He raised his hands to the sky crying in supplication saying, “O my Rabb, O my Rabb .” Whereas his food and drink intake are haram, his clothing is obtained from haram sources; his body is nourished with haram, so how can his du’as ever be answered?”

Allah Bestows Din [Iman] Only To Those Whom He Loves 💎

"Allah bestows the worldly possessions of this Dunya to those whom He loves as well as those whom He does not love, but He only bestows Din/Iman to whom He loves".

(Musnad Ahmad, vol. 1 pg. 387 and Mustadrak Hakim, vol. 1 pg. 33)

🤲🏼 May Allah Ta’ala grant us the true understanding of the above, & make us from His chosen ones.

Earning a living with one’s own hands/hard work 👏🏽
﷽

Rasulullah ﷺ is reported to have said:
’No one has ever eaten any food which is better than that which he earned with his own hands/effort. Indeed Allah Ta'ala's Nabi; Dawood ('alayhissalam) used to eat of that which he earned himself.’
(Sahih Bukhari, 2072)

💎 Morals 💎
1⃣ This Hadith indicates that the best food to consume is that which is earned from one's own effort, eg. being involved in some profession or trade.
2⃣ We should not unnecessarily become a burden to others.
3⃣ Never should we consider it below our dignity to do any menial work for a living.
4⃣ Since the Ambiyaa ('alayhimussalam) themselves would earn a living through hard work, there is none who can be equally honourable. It appears in the Hadith: "There is not a single Nabi who did not herd goats".
5⃣ People should not shift their responsibilities and burdens onto others by begging, except in cases of dire necessity, which is considered a necessity in shari’ah.

May Allah ﷻ‬‎ grant everyone barakah in their earnings. Ameen.

💎 V.I.P. Status for the Ideal Businessman 🎁
﷽

Rasulullah (sallallahu 'alayhi wa sallam) said:
’The truthful and honest trader will be in the company of the Ambiya, the truthful ones and martyrs [in the Hereafter].’
(Sunan Tirmidhi,1209)

Morals 👌🏽
1⃣ This trader will be among the great martyrs and saints of Allah Ta'ala who were such that, in every word and deed, they were most truthful. These pure beings (the Ambiya etc) are those who had made the object of their life the obedience of Allah Ta'ala.
✅The Ideal businessman will receive this kind of a V.I.P. Status!
2⃣ However, this does not mean that they will be granted the same rank and position as the Prophets & Saints. Rather it denotes a special kind of honour like that which is normally attained through continuously being in the company of the pious.
3⃣ To be in the company of the Ambiya, especially Rasulullah (sallallahu 'alayhi wa sallam) is indeed a tremendous honour. Just to be in his proximity and to be able to look at his noble and radiant countenance is in itself an exceptional honour.
This is what our beloved Nabi (sallallahu’alayhi wasallam) has promised us.
Hence all Muslims should definitely strive to become worthy recipients of this sacred position.
May Allah Ta’ala bless us all with this ultimate bounty

👌🏽 The Power & Benefit of Sadaqah ⭐
﷽

Rasulullah ﷺ said:
’O Businessmen! In business transactions there [often] occurs useless talk and false oaths, therefore blend it with giving sadaqah [for its atonement].
(Sunan Abi Dawud,3319)

📚 Commentary
1⃣Unnecessary talks and oaths are undesirable. Therefore give sadaqah as a recompense for these unintentional utterances, which often occur in the marketplace.
2⃣It will also remove the pollution which may have entered the heart through such misdeeds.
Sadaqah in this Hadith, refers to voluntary, nafl charity, not Zakat.
3⃣Sadaqah is often recommend even after a good deed, to make up for our shortcomings therein. Like is the case with Fitra/Sadatul Fitr after observing the fast of Ramadan.
4⃣Simirlarly, Sadaqah also removes the ill-effects of sin.
The above should not be taken as an excuse for misconduct, thinking it can be atoned for with sadaqah later. Premeditated sins are detrimental.

The Harms of Haram❗
﷽

Rasulullah ﷺ said:
"The flesh that is nourished with Haraam earnings will never enter Jannah. And for such flesh, Jahannam is the rightful place."
(Musnad Ahmad, 14441)

Commentary🗝
1⃣ This means that he who consumes Haraam will never enter Jannah without first having being punished [unless he repents before death].

2⃣ However, this does not mean that such a person will, like the disbelievers, never enter Jannah.

3⃣ If a person dies on Islam whilst having consumed Haraam, he will first be punished in Jahannam for his sins and thereafter enter Jannah.

4⃣ If he repents before death and fulfilled the rightful dues owed, then Allah Ta'ala will forgive this sin and hopefully he shall be saved from the punishment that is mentioned in the Hadith.

Lets clear ourselves in this world & repent before death. Allah Ta’ala is always ready to forgive.

The reward of Charity even for what we consume ✅
﷽

Sayyiduna Abu Sa'eed Khudri (radiyallahu'anhu) reports that Rasulullah ﷺ said:
’The one who earns halaal wealth and thereafter eats or clothes himself or clothes any of Allah's creation, will have that deed recorded for him as a charitable one.
(Sahih Ibn Hibban,4236)

✏ Explanation
1⃣ This Hadith promises the reward of sadaqah, even for what one consumes. However, this only applies if it was acquired from halal sources.
2⃣ To be charitable with haram wealth doesn’t yield any reward.
3⃣ In Business, one who has the correct intention & strives to earn an honest, halal income can attain the highest of ranks. 👌🏽

When in doubt, stay out ⛔

Rasulullah ﷺ is reported to have said:
’The Halaal things are clear and the Haraam things are clear, and between them there are the doubtful matters.’
(Sahih Bukhari,52)

Commentary
1⃣ Doubtful things are those which a person is undecided as to whether it is Halaal or Haraam.
2⃣ If one does not abstain from doubtful things and accepts any form of wealth coming to him, he will soon find himself consuming Haraam.
3⃣ Whoever abstains from doubtful things saves his reputation, Deen and saves himself from the punishment of Jahannam.
4⃣ The attainment of Taqwa is dependant on the purity of the heart and purity of the heart depends on Halaal sustenance.

May Allah Ta’ala inspire us to practice and abide by the Sunnah teachings of Nabi ﷺ at all times.

⛔ False promises ❗❌

Sayyiduna Abu Hurayrah (radiyallahu 'anhu) reports that Rasulullah (sallallahu 'alayhi wa sallam) said: ’Taking [false] oaths will hasten the sale of the commodity but will destroy the barakah.’
(Sahih Bukhari, Hadith:2087 , Sahih Muslim, Hadith:1606)

💡 Points to Ponder 💡
One who blatantly takes false oaths in business deals, should ponder over the following:

1. When the oath is false, the barakah will be lost.

2. Taking a false oath is a form of extreme disrespect towards Allah Ta’ala.

3. Some traders are fond of taking oaths so that clients may gain confidence in their goods. By doing this, one gains nothing.
Ultimately, the customer loses confidence in the trader
& his earnings become devoid of barakah which in turn causes harm in this world and the Hereafter.

Let’s think further than our pockets

💎 So much more, just with the right intention ⚖

Sayyiduna Abu Mas’ud (radiyallahu ‘anhu) reports that Rasulullah (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) said:
’When a man spends on his family and hopes to be rewarded for it, it is charity for him.’
(Sahih Bukhari, Hadith: 55, Sahih Muslim, Hadith: 1002)

📚 Commentary
Hafiz Ibn Hajar (rahimahullah) quotes ‘Allamah Qurtubi (rahimahullah) who says, ‘We learn from this Hadith that a person will only be rewarded for spending on his family if he has an intention of carrying out an act of virtue.’
(Fathul Bari, Hadith: 55)

💡One usually spends on his family to fulfill his obligation without anticipating reward. We should keep this Hadith in mind and anticipate reward even when purchasing basic necessities for one’s family, thereby maximising our rewards insha Allah. ✅

Hosting an iftar 🍽

Sayyiduna Zayd ibn Khalid Al Juhani (radiyallahu ‘anhu) reports that Rasulullah (sallallahu ‘alayhi wa sallam) said:
’Whoever feeds a person for iftar, gets the same reward as him without any subtraction from the reward of the fasting person.’
(Sunan Tirmidhi, Hadith: 807 & Sunan Ibn Majah, Hadith: 1746)

✅ Imam Tirmidhi (rahimahullah) has declared the Hadith authentic (hasanun sahih).

👌🏽 This can be achieved without elaborate preparations. Providing a date is also enough.

The Ideal Muslim Businessman Broadcast
🔟
The reward of being in the path of Allah, when earning with the correct intention. 👌🏽

Sayyiduna Ka’b in ‘Ujrah (radiyallahu’anhu) reports that a man passed by Rasulullah (sallallahu’alayhi wasallam). The Sahabah noted this person’s strength and vigour. They remarked: O Nabi of Allah! If only this person was [utilising his ability] in the path of Allah.
Rasulullah (sallallahu’alayhi wasallam) said:
‘If he has left his home to earn for his young children, he is [rewarded as if he is] in Allah’s path (sabilillah). If he has left his home to earn for his elderly parents, he is [rewarded as if he is] in Allah’s path. If he has left his home to earn for protecting himself [from begging etc], he is [rewarded as if he is] in Allah’s path.

However, if he left his home to earn for show and pride, then he is in Shaytan’s path (sabilish Shaytan).’

(Al-Mu’jamul Kabir of Tabarani,[19] 282. Also see Targhib,2516 & Majma’uz Zawaid,4/325)

Lesson
💡 This Hadith so beautifully inspires every ‘hard earner’ / ‘breadwinner’ to rectify his intention and actually be rewarded as being out in the Path of Allah!

❗Likewise, it is also a severe warning against earning merely to show off one’s wealth & status.

🤲🏼 May Allah Ta’ala bless us all with the correct intentions in all deeds.

Visiting the sick

Every community has people who fall ill.
In Islam, we are encouraged to visit such people and not to neglect them.
The extent of the importance of this can be gauged from the three authentic Hadiths below:

1⃣ ‘When a Muslim visits a sick Muslim at dawn, seventy thousand angels make du’a of forgiveness for him till dusk. If he visits him in the evening, seventy thousand Angels make du’a of forgiveness for him till the morning, and he will be granted a garden in Jannah.’
(Tirmidhi, Abu Dawud & others)

2⃣ ‘Whoever makes a proper wudu, and sets out to visit his sick Muslim brother with the expectation of reward, will be distanced seventy years [journey] away from Jahannam.’
(Abu Dawud & Tabarani)

3⃣ ‘When one sets out to visit the sick, he enters into Allah’s mercy. When he sits beside the sick person, he is totally immersed in mercy.’
(Muwatta, Musnad Ahmad & others)

Lets take advantage of these great rewards, by habitually visiting the ill.
It is actually our duty to visit & care for them, which is unfortunately being neglected by many in our era.

⏱ Time for Rehearsal

The sighting of the Crescent of Sha’ban signals the good news of Ramadan’s imminent arrival. A believer grows in anticipation with the passing of each day. Days like these, are what a believer ‘lives for’.

The best month to fast, outside Ramadan 👌🏽
Nabi (sallallahu ’alayhi wasallam) would increase his optional (nafl) fast in this month.
Sayyidatuna ‘Aaishah (radiyallahu’anha) reports that I never saw Nabi (sallallahu’alayhi wasallam) fasting in any other month as much as he did in Sha’ban.’
(Sahih Bukhari,1969 & Sahih Muslim,2714).

In light of the above, and other Hadiths, some ‘Ulama state that Sha’ban is the best month for nafl fasts, especially if it is done with the motive of preparing for Ramadan.
(Lataiful Ma’arif, pg. 248-249. Also see Sunan Tirmidhi,663)

Caution❗
One should avoid fasting after the 15th of Sha’ban, so that strength may be preserved for Ramadan.
(Sunan Nasai,2923)

📌 A Month for Rehearsal
In addition to it being the most virtuous month -outside Ramadan- to fast, another reason [among others] for Nabi (sallallahu’alayhi wasallam) increasing his optional fast in Sha’ban was to prepare for Ramadan as well as to respectfully welcome Ramadan.
(Lataiful Ma’arif, pg. 258 and Fathul Bari,1969)

✏This illustrates how Rasulullah (sallallahu ’alayhi wasallam) would spiritually prepare himself in advance for the most auspicious month of the year; Ramadan.
✅ It is like the Sunnah Salah we offer before and after the Fard Salah. For the Fard fast of Ramadan, we are taught to offer nafl fasts before and after (viz. in Sha’ban and Shawwal)
(Lataiful Ma’arif, pg.249)

Similarly, the Sahabah (radiyallahu ’anhum) and Tabi’un (rahimahumullah) would also engage in what we would understand as ‘spiritual preparation’ for Ramadan.
💎Sayyiduna Anas (radiyallahu ’anhu) says:
‘When Sha’ban would commence, the Muslims (Sahabah and Tabi’un) would dedicate themselves to the recital of the Quran.’
Some are reported to have discharged their Zakah too, in Sha’ban.
(Lataiful Ma’arif, pg.258)

Hafiz Ibn Rajab Al-Hambaly (rahimahullah) writes:
‘Since Sha’ban is a prelude to Ramadan, Islam encourages certain deeds in this month, that are usually done in Ramadan. Like fasting and Quran recital. This prepares the soul to welcome Ramadan with open arms, when it arrives.’
(Lataiful Ma’arif, pg.258)

✅ Moral
These are glaring lessons on the spiritual preparation for Ramadan. It’s a month in which we can rehearse these additional nafl deeds (viz, optional fasts up to the 15th, Quran recital, Charity etc).

⏳ Another form of preparation
In addition to the above deeds and their like, there is another form of preparation that is absolutely essential.
That is to settle our disputes and cleanse the hearts from jealousy, rancour and I’ll-feelings.

People who hold onto old grudges, and do not settle their disputes, nor cleanse their hearts are usually deprived on Allah’s mercy, even on blessed occasions.

Therefore it is imperative for a believer, as part of his preparation for Ramadan, to sort out such issues ahead of time.

15th Shaban 🌌
The beginning of Sha’ban is a time for us to reset our minds hearts and routines for Ramadan.

Barley two weeks into the month, will bring the occasion of the fifteenth night of Sha’ban. This night is labelled as the second most auspicious night of the year, by some Scholars.
(Lataiful Ma’arif, pg. 264)

Allah Ta’ala, through His wisdom granted the Ummah this auspicious night as a prelude to Ramadan.
On that night too, those who harbour ill-feelings are deprived of Allah’s Mercy and Forgiveness.

🗝 Now is the time
The best time for change, is now! Never delay in making a reformed decision.
Therefore, one should understand that today is an ideal time to reflect on the above and to make efforts to implement them too. Let’s increase our nafl ‘ibadah from today, so that when Ramadan does arrive, we are well rehearsed and ready to maximise our benefit therefrom.
May Allah Ta’ala guide and inspire us all. Amin.

﷽
What to do on Auspicious Nights?

Our Beloved Nabi ﷺ has mentioned:
“Indeed your Rabb has reserved certain special moments in time (in which he emits abundant/special mercy)
Be sure to avail yourselves for these opportunities.” (Majma’uz Zawaaid)
We are usually aware of the significant occasions that present themselves each year. The crucial thing is how do we “avail ourselves” and maximise our benefit from these blessed nights?
Here under is a suggested format for “What to do on Blessed nights?”
Practicing on the following 10 points won't take more than an hour insha Allah.

1⃣ Offer the Maghrib, Esha & Fajr Salahs in congregation.
- receive the reward of spending the entire night in 'ibadah.
2⃣ Sleep in the state of wudhu.
- your soul will make sajdah under the 'Arsh (Throne) of Allah ﷻ‎.
3⃣ Abstain from sin.
4⃣ Clear your heart from ill-feelings towards fellow Muslims.
- or else be deprived of Allah's mercy.
5⃣ Salatut Tasbeeh.
see next message.
6⃣ Tilawat (Recital) of Quran.
7⃣ Salawat on Rasulullah ﷺ
8⃣ Dhikr.
There are many forms of Dhikrullah. the following are suggested:
A hundred times “Laa ilaah illallah”
A hundred times repeating the name of “Allah”
And a hundred times:
“Subhaanallahi wabihamdihi subhanallahil ‘Azeem”
9⃣ Du’a.
“Du’a is the essence of Worship” and hence cannot be omitted when we engage in worship.
More so on occasions when Almighty Allah ﷻ‎ accepts duas such as on the night of Qadr. One should spend a lengthy duration in begging from Allah, as we are all in need of it.
In light of the current world crisis, do remember our oppressed brethren around the globe.
🔟 Tawbah.
The procedure for Tawbah is:
a. Perform two rak’aats of Salaah. (Optional)
b. Stop the sin that one is repenting from.
c. Regret the sin from the bottom of your heart.
d. Make a determined pledge with Allah ﷻ‎ never to repeat that sin.Besides the two rak’aats of Salah,the remainder are all fundamental.

📌 Note 1: The above can all be achieved in about 1 hour only.
Salatut Tasbeeh: 20 mins
Tawbah: can be incorporated in the du’a
Zikr: 10 mins
Salawaat: 5 mins
Tilawat: 15 mins
Du’a & Tawbah: 10 mins
However if one is short on time for whatever reason, then the following 5 points are suggested:
a) Esha & Fajr with Jamat
b) Sleep with Wudhu
c) Abstain from sin
d) clean the heart
e) Du'a
📌 Note 2: The night commences at Maghrib, not after Esha or after Taraweeh or at Sehri time. Therefore one can and should commence ‘ibadah from Maghrib, although it is indeed best to do so at the last part of the night.
📌 Note 3: These are mere suggestions intended to make it easy for people. One may engage in whatever form of ‘ibadah one is comfortable with.
May Allah Ta’ala grant us all complete forgiveness and steadfastness on guidance. Ameen.

🕯Please do remember the writer in your supplication as well.

Ramadan is approaching 🌌

The following are the inspiring words of the great luminary; ‘Allamah Muhammad Yusuf Al Binnory (rahimahullah)

The divine blessings of Ramadan
Ramadan is approaching. It will bring down the nur and special attention of Allah Ta’ala. It is a time of forgiveness for all the sins of the Ummah. The generosity of the Absolutely Generous (Allah) will encompass all. Iman and good deeds will flourish. The curtailing of eating, drinking and relations will create the ability to abstain from sins. The doors of Jannah will be opened. Locks will be placed on the doors of Jahannam. Every night the announcement will be made of numerous sinners being freed from the fire of Jahannum.

Wisdom of Allah’s commands 💎
The commands and practices that Allah Ta’ala sent to the world are for the reformation of the heart, through which the soul becomes illuminated, and humans become distinguished from animals.
This causes those who are not practicing begin to practice and individuals that have neglected Allah Ta’ala become Allah-conscious.
Humans are distinguished from the level of animals and attain angelic qualities. The poor will be taken care of. The destitute and orphans will be shown mercy. In short, humans will become adorned with the highest level of character and good qualities.

📚 Duties of Ramadan
For these reasons, Allah Ta’ala made the fasting of Ramadan compulsory and standing in Salah at night, a sunnah. So that a believing slave can read or listen to the Quran in these nights [and have his soul purified]. At times, he is making sajdah in the court of Allah Ta’ala, sometimes performing ruk’u with dignity and respect, sometimes standing, warming the heart with the touching melody of the Quran. In Ramadan, one becomes the embodiment of
یذكرون الله قیاما وقعودا وعلى جنوبهم
‘They remember Allah standing, sitting and reclining’ (Surah Aalu ‘Imran, Ayah: 191)
In addition to reciting/listening to the Quran at night, one is guided to practice on the Quran in the day.

What to achieve & how to achieve it 🔎
[During this blessed month], Lower your gazes and keep your tongues silent except for good words. Abstain from fighting and quarrelling. Don’t fulfil any demand of evil temptation or desires. Give sadaqah. Hurry in all works of good and do not refuse to fulfil your obligations. Stay away from all evils. In short, reform your character, appearance, action and conduct, and become an angel entirely. Such reformation of the inner and outer-self should be made that from head to toe, it becomes apparent that this is an individual of an Allah-conscious nation.

(✍🏼 From the Pen of Shaykh Binnory (rahimahullah)._Extracted from Basair wa ibar, 2/407-408)

Speaking good of the deceased ✅

To attend a funeral is the right of our fellow Muslims and indeed very rewarding.
The Tabi’i; Imam Mujahid (rahimahullah) said: ‘Attending a funeral is the best of voluntary (nafl) acts.’ 👌🏽
(Refer: Fathul Bari, Hadith: 1323)

📌Nabi (sallallahu’alayhi wasallam) has discouraged the ummah in several Hadiths against speaking ill of the deceased. One should rather speak good of fellow Muslims who are deceased. 💎

💎Sayyidatuna ‘Aishah (radiyallahu’anha) reports that Rasulullah (sallallahu’alayhi wasallam) said:
‘Do not curse the dead..’
(Sahih Bukhari,1393)

💎Sayyidatuna Ummu Salamah (radiyallahu’anha) reports that Rasulullah (sallallahu’alayhi wasallam) said:
‘When you attend a funeral (or visit a sick person), then speak good [about the deceased/the sick], for the Angels say amin to your du’a.’
(Sahih Muslim, 2126)

❗ Morally too, it’s incorrect to attack a person who cannot defend himself...
🤲🏼 May Allah Ta’ala shower his choicest mercies on all the deceased believers. Amin.

The Sunnah of Nafl Salah in a vehicle 🕌🚗

In our era of hustle and bustle, the following sunnah of Rasulullah (sallallahu’alayhi wasallam) is quite pertinent and appropriate:
Sayyiduna Abdullah Ibn ‘Umar (radiyallahu ‘anhuma) reports that Rasulullah (sallallahu’alayhi wasallam) would perform nafl salah on his conveyance while he was out of the town.
(Sahih Bukhari,1096 & Sahih Muslim,1608, 1616)

The Fuqaha (Jurists) have mentioned that this practice (of offering nafl salah in one’s conveyance) is Mustahab (encouraged). 👌🏽
✅This has also been the practice of our Seniors.

✍🏼 Notes:
While offering nafl salah in one’s vehicle the following should be borne in mind:
1⃣ This salah can be offered while sitting in a vehicle as soon as a person is out of any town/locality.
(Shami, 2/38-39)

2⃣ It is not necessary for the person who intends performing this salah to be a Musaafir (undertaking a journey of 77 Kms or more).
(Shami, 2/38-39 & Tahtawi, pg.221)

3⃣ It is not necessary to face the qiblah when performing nafl salah in the vehicle.
(Sahih Bukhari,1096 & Shami, 2/39)

4⃣ This salah can be offered with shoes as long as there is no impurity on them.
(Shami, 2/39)

5⃣ The ruku’ and sajdah will be done by lowering the head. (it should be lower in sajdah than in ruku’).
(Sunan Abi Dawud,1220)
One should not make ruku’ or sajdah by placing the head on anything. (‘Alamgiri, 1/143)

6⃣ According to some Scholars, the driver can also perform this salah as long as he does not endanger his life or the lives of his passengers.
(Shami, 2/39 & ‘Alamgiri, 1/143)
i.e, the salah will still be valid despite him manoeuvring his vehicle.

7⃣ One who wishes to observe this salah must be in the state of wudu.

8⃣ One may only offer nafl (optional) salah [not the fard] in the above manner.

A blessing from Allah 💎
The renowned commentator of Sahih Bukhari; Hafidh Ibn Hajar (rahimahullah) writes: “The secret behind this relaxation in the rules is: that through the mercy of Allah upon the ummah they are now able to increase their nawaafil (optional) prayers and thereby earn huge rewards from Allah.💎 (Fathul Bari 2/743 Hadith:1099)

💡 Most people spend some time or the other in traffic on a daily or weekly basis. Let’s take advantage of the above sunnah of our Beloved (sallallahu’alaihi wasallam).
✅ Lets practice this & teach it to fellow passengers.

Rewards that we will receive even after death 💎

In addition to earning rewards during our lifetime, our beautiful Din also shows us how to secure continuous rewards for ourselves even after death.

Sayyiduna Abu Hurayrah (radiyallahu ‘anhu) has reported that Nabi (sallallahu 'alayhi wasallam) said:
‘The following are among those deeds whose rewards benefit a believer even after his demise:
1⃣ Knowledge that he taught and spread to others,
2⃣ A pious child that survives him. (The parents will continue to be rewarded for all the good that the child does),
3⃣ A copy of Qur’an that he passes on as inheritance,
4⃣ A Masjid that he constructed/donated towards,
5⃣ A home that he built for travellers,
6⃣ A well that he dug/sponsored,
7⃣ Any other form of charity that he offers while in good health and before he left the world,
He will continue to receive the reward for all of these after his demise.’
(Sunan ibn Majah,242; Sahih ibn Khuzaymah,2490)

These are simple deeds which may be done according to one’s ability. By practising upon any of these ⬆, we will be securing our own future insha Allah.

Shaykh ‘Awwamah’s emphasis on the Sunnah 📿

✍🏼 Shaykh ‘Awwamah’s son, Dr Muhyuddeen (hafizhahumallah), writes:
‘My respected father continuously encouraged his family in the home to adopt the various Sunnahs of Nabi (sallallahu ‘alayhi wasallam). He encourages them by saying that these Sunnahs create closeness and love for Rasulullah (sallallahu ‘alayhi wasallam). Being laxed in the Sunnah is a result of hardheartedness, and it distances a person from Rasulullah (sallallahu ‘alayhi wasallam).❗

Among the Sunnahs that my respected father was very particular about, are the following:👌🏽

1⃣ Keeping the pants above the ankles.

2⃣ Covering the head.

3⃣ Offering the Sunnah Salah before and after the Fard Salah.

4⃣ Offering the Fard Salah in congregation.

5⃣ Doing every good thing with the right.

6⃣ Spreading the Salam.

7⃣ In Ramadan he would emphasis the offering of [20 rakats] Tarawih Salah for even the juniors.

8⃣ He was very particular about the Sunnah of partaking of Sehri. He would personally wake up his family and children at the time of Sehri even if they have to take a few morsels. This was to fulfill the Sunnah of Rasulullah (sallallahu ‘alayhi wasallam) and to attain its barakah. [To fully understand this, one should bear in mind that the general habit in Arabia is for people to remain awake for most of the night in Ramadan. Therefore, by Sehri time, the young ones would be exhausted and asleep.]

9⃣ He would also encourage us as children, to give Sadaqah every day, even if it had to be something very minimal. He would -sometimes- give us the charity to give to a poor person or a pious person and he would tell us to go and give it with our hands and ask for du’a from that person.

🔟 He would also encourage us to follow the adab and etiquettes of Islam [in all aspects of live]. For this, he strongly suggested the kitab of Shaykh Abul Fattah Abu Ghuddah (rahimahullah) entitled: Islamic Manners. He would tell us: this kitab is what Shaykh Abul Fattah (rahimahullah) practically demonstrated in his life.’

(Extracted from: Safahatun mudi-ah, pg. 71-73)

🤲🏼 May Allah Ta’ala preserve Shaykh ‘Awwamah for many more years with good health & complete ‘afiyah. Amin.

🔪 Qurbani/Udhiyah, with your own hands 👌🏽

Its a trend nowadays for people to have their Qurbani/Udhiyah animal slaughtered by others, at some far off farm, or even abroad.
Whilst there may be justifiable reason for some, one should consider the following:

👉🏽 Several Hadiths mention that, On the day of Eidul Adha, Nabi (sallallahu'alayhi wasallam) would not eat anything until he returned [from the Eid salah]. Then he would eat the liver of his own animal of slaughter.

💎 Lessons:

✅ In light of these narrations, the Fuqaha (Jurists) have ruled it preferable (mustahabb) to let the first thing one eats on Eidul Adha be from one's own animal of sacrifice.

✍🏼 Those who assign their animals to be slaughtered by some far off farmer or abroad, and do not slaughter their animals themselves, or under their personal supervision, or locally, are actually deprived of this recommended deed…

🔪 Further, the rewards for personally slaughtering the animal are also lost to such people.

❗ Such people don’t fully experience the spirit of Qurbani/Udhiyah as well.

💎Nabi (sallallahu ‘alayhi wa sallam) said:
’When Dhul Hijjah begins and a person intends to make udhiyah (slaughter on Eid day), then he should not remove hair nor clip his nails [until his animal is slaughtered].’
(Sahih Muslim,5090)

❓ How would such a person practice on the above Hadith, when he doesn’t know on which day his animal is being slaughtered?

👌🏽 As followers of Nabi Muhammad (sallallahu’alayhi wasallam), we should always be striving for the ideal Sunnah.
🤲🏼 May Allah Ta’ala remove the obstacles from those who are genuinely forced by circumstances to delegate their slaughter to others. Amin.
Fortunate indeed are those who get tawfiq to do it locally & personally.

Some benefits of reciting Surah Baqarah in the home 🏠

✅Sayyiduna Abu Umamah (radiyallahu’anhu) reports that Rasulullah (sallallahu’alayhi wasallam) said:
‘…Recite Surah Al Baqarah, for [reciting it & practising on it] is a blessing. Abandoning it will be a cause of grief and regret, & those involved in witchcraft cannot confront it.’
(Sahih Muslim,1871)

✅Sayyiduna Abu Hurayrah (radiyallahu’anhu) reports that Rasulullah (sallallahu’alayhi wasallam) said:
‘…Indeed Shaytan flees from that home in which Surah Baqarah is recited.’
(Sahih Muslim,1821)

💡People generally like to have their homes secure from the effects of black magic, evil Jinn etc.
We should therefore form a habit of reciting Surah Baqarah in our homes & businesses, as it keeps away the Jinn as well as black magic.

The last 2⃣ verses of Surah Baqarah
✅Sayyiduna Nu’man ibn Bashir (radiyallahu ‘anhu) reports that Rasulullah (sallallahu’alayhi wasallam) said;
‘…If these two verses are recited for three nights in a home, no Shaytan shall come near it.’
(Sunan Tirmidhi,2882 also see: Sahih Ibn Hibban; Al Ihsan, 782)

👓See the link below for the benefits of the 🔟 verses of Surah Baqarah:

Reciting a few verses for the reward of Tahajjud 🕌

💎 Sayyiduna ‘Uthman (radiyallahu’anhu) said:
’Whoever recites the last few Verses of Surah Aalu ‘Imran at night, will receive the reward of standing up in ‘ibadah for one night.’
(Sunan Darimi,3439)

💡The ‘Last few Verses’ refer to from Verse: 190 (إن في خلق السماوات والأرض) till the end of the Surah.
(Mirqatul Mafatih,2171)
Let’s make this a nightly habit. 👌🏽
In a narration of Sahih Bukhari, it is reported that Nabi (sallallahu’alayhi wasallam) recited this himself, upon awakening for tahajjud as well.

﷽

EARNING ONE'S RIZQ BY ONE'S OWN HANDS 👏🏽

Rasulullah ﷺ is reported to have said:
"No one has ever eaten any food which is better than that which he had earned through working with his hands. And verily Allah Ta'ala's Nabi; Dawood ('alayhissalam) used to eat of that which he earned with his hands."
(Sahih Bukhari, 2072)

💎 Morals 💎
1⃣ This Hadith indicates that the best food to consume is that which is earned from the work of one's own hands, eg. being involved in some profession or trade.
2⃣ We should not unnecessarily become a burden to others.
3⃣ Never should we consider it below our dignity to do any menial work for a living.
4⃣ Since the Ambiya ('alayhimus salam) themselves would earn a living through hard work, there is none who can be equally honorable. It appears in the Hadith: "There is not a single Nabi who did not herd goats".
5⃣ People should not shift their responsibilities and burdens onto others by begging, except in cases of dire necessity, which is considered a necessity in shari’ah.

May Allah ﷻ‎ grant everyone barakah in their earnings. Ameen.

The great reward for ‘ibadah during times of fitnah

Sayyiduna Ma’qil ibn Yasar (radiyallahu ‘anhu) reported that Rasulullah ﷺ said, “The reward of worship performed at the time of trials (fitnah) is like doing emigration (Hijrah) to me.”
(Sahih Muslim,2948)

Commentary
‘Allamah Nawawi (rahimahullah) explains that people generally become negligent at times of fitnah/trials. Therefore the reward is increased for those individuals who dedicate themselves to ‘ibadah in these times.
(Al Minhaj, Hadith: 7326)
The above is one of a few such Hadiths on this topic.
🕑 The times we live in are indeed trying, and filled with Fitnah.
Turning to Allah ﷻ‎ in such conditions is greatly rewarded.

🍇🍌 What to do when receiving the 1st Fruit of the Season 🍉🍒🍓

🎯Several Sahabah (radiyallahu'anhum) have
reported that when the first fruit of the season used to be brought to Rasulullah ﷺ he would kiss it, touch it to his eyes & recite the following du’a [among others].
He ﷺ would then give that fruit to the smallest child that was in his presence:
اللهُمَّ كَمَا أَرَيْتَنا أَوَّلَه أَرِنا آخِرَه
Allahumma kama araytana awwalahu, arina akhirahu
Translation: O Allah! just as You have shown us the first of it, allow us to see the last of it.
(Abu Dawud in his Kitabul Maraseel, Ibnus Sunni & Tabarani)
‘Allamah Haythami (rahimahullah) has declared the narration of Tabarani as sahih (authentic).💯

Explanation ⤵
The reason for giving it to the child is
1⃣ Either because of the similarity between the two that both are new in the world or
2⃣ because of the extreme joy that a child experiences through this.🌟
🔎 The reason for Rasulullah ﷺ kissing the fruit and touching it to his eyes is because it has been newly created by Allah ﷻ‎. Just as he ﷺ would go out in the rain and open his chest [so the rain may touch him] & he would say: 'Verily it [the raindrops] have only recently arrived from my Rabb !’
🌧☄💦
💡 Another Lesson
The above also teaches us that: the Sahabah (radiyallahu’anhum) would bring the first produce of their orchards to Rasulullah ﷺ to acquire Barakah
✅ Nowadays some people do -admirably-emulate this in a way, by presenting their first produce to their teachers, seniors, elders of the family etc for Barakah.

An amazing incident on keeping up old ties. 🏘

✅ Sayyiduna 'Abdullah ibn 'Umar (radiyallahu’anhuma) was once on his way to Makkah for 'Umrah. On the way, he met a shabbily dressed Bedouin who was on foot. Upon seeing him, the noble Companion of Rasulullah ﷺ alighted his conveyance, went up to the Bedouin and inquired, 'Are you the son of so and so?'
'Yes' replied the Bedouin.
Hearing this, Sayyiduna 'Abdullah ibn 'Umar greeted him with full zeal, he also removed his turban and gave it to the delighted Bedouin. After doing so, Sayyiduna 'Abdullah then offered him the comfortable conveyance that he had chosen for his journey. The Bedouin delightfully accepted it and continued on his way.
At this the colleagues of Sayyiduna 'Abdullah Ibn 'Umar (radiyallahu’anhuma) expressed their amazement by saying: 'This person is a Bedouin, who would have been pleased even if you offered him a simple gift.'
To this he replied:
“Indeed his father was a friend of my father and I have certainly heard our Beloved ﷺ say:
Verily from the greatest forms of loyalty to ones parents after their demise, is for one to keep up ties with their friends.' 👌🏽
(Sahih Muslim,6460)

💎In this incident, Sayyiduna 'Abdullah ibn 'Umar (radiyallahu’anhuma) had actually extended his kindness to the son of his father’s friend and not just the friend himself.
🤲🏼 May Allah ﷻ‎ bless us with tawfiq to do the same.
Amin.

How to serve one’s parents even after their demise 🕌

🔎A man once enquired from Rasulullah ﷺ as to what rights do his parents have on him after their demise. Rasulullah ﷺ replied:
1⃣ To make du'a for them.
2⃣ To seek forgiveness on their behalf.
3⃣ To execute their orders and bequests.
4⃣ To maintain ties with those relatives of yours who are linked to you via them.
5⃣ To pay respect to their surviving friends.
📚 (Sunan Abi Dawud, 5099 & Sahih Ibn Hibban,498)
👌🏽According to one narration, Rasulullah ﷺ then said, 'They (the parents) will be made aware of whatever he (the child) does on their behalf'. (Sunanul Kubra, vol.4 pg.28)

🤲🏼 May Allah ﷻ‎ make us from those who are/were obedient to their parents while they are/were alive, and after their demise too. Amin.

Don’t feed our children Haram❗

Sayyiduna Ka’b ibn ‘Ujrah (radiyallahu ‘anhu) reported that Nabi ﷺ said:
‘The fire of jahannam is most befitting for the flesh that is nourished by haram.’
(Sunan Tirmidhi, 614)

Imam Ghazali (rahimahullah) has stated that the wives of our predecessors (salaf) would tell their husbands in the mornings:
‘Fear Allah for our sake and do not feed us anything but pure halal. We can bare the pangs of hunger, but not the heat of the fire of Jahannam.’ 💎

‘Allamah Zabidi (rahimahullah) comments that this shows the high level of piety of the women of the past.
(See Sharhul Ihya,5/404 & Risalatul Mustarshidin, pg.216)

﷽

💎 The immense reward for sponsoring a student of Deen 📚

There was a person studying by the Famous, Maliki Scholar (who was the son of another great Maliki Scholar); Imam Muhammad ibn Sahnun (rahimahumallah). This student’s father came to the teacher (and what an excellent father he was). He said to the Teacher: I will take care of my son’s expenses by working myself, so I do not distract him from him studies.
Imam Ibn Sahnun (rahimahullah) replied:
‘Do you realise that your reward for this is greater than [nafl] Haj [or ‘Umrah] and guarding the Islamic borders or even [voluntary] active jihad?’

Inspiration 👌🏽
My esteemed Teacher; Al-Muhaddith Shaykh Muhmmad ‘Awwamah (hafizahullah) comments after quoting this:
‘This incident should serve as an inspiration to every such father whose son (by the blessings of Allah) has dedicated himself to Islamic knowledge; that he should try –according to his ability- to support him in his livelihood and related expenses, thereby freeing him from the responsibility of earning and its related affairs. This will allow him to be totally dedicated to his studies.’

✅ Prophetic Guidance
Shaykh ‘Awwamah (hafizahullah) writes further:
‘This has reminded me of the Hadith of Sayyiduna Anas (radiyallahu’anhu) in which mentions that there were two brothers in the era of Rasulullah ﷺ ; one of them would [frequently] attend the lessons/gatherings of Rasulullah ﷺ while the other was the ‘earner’ [who supported the former].
One day, the brother who was earning [and supporting the other brother] came to complain to Rasulullah ﷺ about their situation.
Rasulullah ﷺ said: ‘Perhaps you are being fed [by Allah] because of him.’
(Ma’alim Irshadiyyah, pgs.35-36)
💡 Therefore, when Allah Ta’ala accepts us for a noble gesture like the one’s cited above, one should consider it a blessing from Allah Ta’ala, rather than a burden…

﷽

Laylatul Qadr reward every night! 💫💐

Sayyiduna ‘Abdullah ibn ‘Umar -among other Sahabah- (radiyallahu ‘anhum) reported that Rasulullah (sallallahu ‘alayhi wa sallam) said:
‘Whoever offers four rak’ahs after ‘Isha before leaving the Masjid, will receive the reward of [these rak’ahs being offered] on Laylatul Qadr.’
(Musnad Imam Abu Hanifah,178-179, & other sources. Also see Targhib,1/401)

🌷In addition to this, several Sahabah (radiyallahu ‘anhum) have also said the same:
’Whoever offers four rak’ahs (nafl) after ‘Isha, will get the reward of offering these rak’ahs on Laylatul Qadr.’
(Musannaf Ibn Abi Shaybah,7351-7357 & As-Sunanul Kubra of Bayhaqi,2/477)

Fortunate are those who can secure such a privilege every night!
👌🏼Shaykhul Hadith, Moulana Fadlur Rahman ‘Azami (hafizahullah) would mention the following Urdu poem in his Hadith lesson:
قدر دانوں کیلئے ہر رات شب قدر ہے
For those who have real value, every night can be Laylatul Qadr!

💡 Note: One may merely add two rak’ahs to the usual two sunnah muakkadah after ‘Isha, and make the intention of practicing on this Hadith.
(Fathul Qadir)

﷽

Making du’a for one’s parents after Salah 🤲🏼

Under the commentary of the Verse of Quran:
‘Give thanks to Me and to your parents’ [Surah Luqman, Verse: 14]
Many Senior, Reliable Mufassirun have quoted the following from Imam Sufyan ibn ‘Uyaynah (rahimahullah):

قال سفيان بن عيينة: من صلى الصلوات الخمس فقد شكر الله تعالى، ومن دعا لوالديه في أدبار الصلوات فقد شكرهما

Translation 📖

Sufyan ibn ‘Uyaynah (rahimahullah) said: “Whoever offers the five daily Salah, has shown gratitude to Allah Ta’ala and whoever supplicates for his parents after Salah, has shown gratitude to them.”

📚 (Tafsir Baghawi, Al Muharrarul Wajiz, Tafsir Qurtubi, Tafsir Nasafi & Ruhul Ma’ani, Surah Luqman, Verse: 14)

💡 Every child should consider it his bounden duty to practice the above daily.

👌🏽It was the habit of our pious predecessors to make du’a for their parents as well as their teachers after every Salah.

﷽
⚠ ‘You get what you Deserve’ ❕

We often hear the saying cited in the title above. Some people word it as:
What goes around, comes around.

The following is an eye opener on this topic.

Sayyiduna ‘Abdullah ibn ‘Umar (radiyallahu’anhuma) reports that Nabi ﷺ said:
‘Be kind to your parents, your children will be kind to you. Remain chaste and your wives will be the same.’
(Al-Mu’jamul Awsat,1002. Also see Targhib,3/318/493 & Majma’uz Zawaid,8/138-139,)

💎 Morals 💎
👌🏽 People generally need the care of someone in old age. It’s the system of life; we serve our elders, and when we need care in old age, Allah Ta’ala inspires the young to oblige.
The sad reality of the current ongoing neglect towards this injunction only paints a bleaker picture of our own future...

🖐🏽 The increase of vice and it’s related wrongs in married adults, is alarming, as well as sad. This Hadith points us to one cause for this, which should be noted diligently...

Make that change 👌🏽
💡 Let’s be chaste, and our spouses will do the same, let’s treat others well, & we will be treated well too.

Let’s pass on good and thereby get what we deserve; more good. ✅

⭐ Treasured Steps 👣

There are many rewarding deeds whose merits are multiplied based on the occasion in which they are carried out.
One such deed is:
Walking for the salah of Jumu’ah. 🕌
Sayyiduna Aws Ibn Aws (radiyallahu ‘anhu) reports that Rasulullah ﷺ said:
Whoever (does the following on a Friday):
1⃣ Takes a thorough bath,
2⃣ Goes very early to the Masjid,
3⃣ Goes walking, not riding,
4⃣ Sits close to the imam (not against the back wall)
5⃣ Listens attentively to the khutbah (sermon)
6⃣ Does not engage in futile activity (like, talking to someone or fidgeting with his hair, clothes or cellphone etc)

‘Will receive for every step:

📚 (Sunan Abi Dawud & Tirmidhi, classified as Sahih by Imams: Ibn Khuzaimah, Ibn Hibban and Hakim)

There’s Nothing Better💎
One cannot imagine the amount of reward achievable for this weekly deed. 👌🏼
No wonder according to some Hadith experts, there is no other Sahih (authentic) Hadith with greater virtue than this one!
May Allah Ta’ala grant us all the ability to take advantage of this opportunity. Amin.

At the approach of Rajab

With the sighting of the crescent of Rajab, Rasulullah (sallallahu ‘alayhi wa sallam) would anticipate and begin preparations for the month of Ramadan. This is two months in advance! People “live to see” various accomplishments in their lives, but a Believer “lives for” and yearns to witness sacred days like these.

Rajab Du’a
Rasulullah (sallallahu ‘alayhi wa sallam) would recite the following supplication when the Month of Rajab would commence:
اَللّٰهُمَّ بَارِكْ لَناَ فِيْ رَجَبَ وَشَعْبانَ وَبَلّغْنَا رَمَضَانْ

Allahumma barik lana fi Rajaba wa Sha’bana wa balligh na Ramadan

Translation: O Allah! Grant us Barakah (Blessing) during (the months of) Rajab and Sha’ban, and allow us to reach Ramadan.
📚 (Shu’abul-Iman,3534, Ibnu Sunni,660, Mukhtasar Zawaid Bazzar,662, also see Al-Adhkar,549)

Hafiz Ibn Rajab rahimahullah says this narration is suitable to prove the merit of reciting this du’a -“istihbab.
( Lataif, pg.172.)

Sacred Months
Rajab is the second of the “four sacred months” in the Islamic Calendar which are referred to as: “Al-Ash-hurul hurum“ (Surah Tawbah, verse: 36)
The others are: Zhul Qa’dah, Zhul Hijjah and Muharram.

💡Explaining their significance the ‘Ulama mention that during these months, good deeds are more virtuous and evil deeds are more detestable to Almighty Allah. (Lataiful-Ma’arif, pg.163)

An interesting incident
A pious person once fell ill before Rajab. He made du’a to Allah that He allow him to live till Rajab (at least) because he had heard that Allah frees people from punishment in Rajab. Allah Ta’ala had accepted his du’a. (Latiful Ma’arif, pg.173)

Du’as are accepted 🤲🏼
Imam Shafi’i (rahimahullah) has stated: “I have heard that du’as are accepted by Almighty Allah on five nights:
1) The night of Jumu’ah,
2 and 3) The nights of the two ‘Eids,
4) The first night of Rajab,
5) The middle (15th) night of Sha’ban,
(Lataiful Ma’arif, pg. 196)
✏In fact, the experience of people prior to Islam even, shows that Allah Ta’ala would accept their du’as during the month of Rajab. Imam Ibn Abi Dunya (rahimahullah) has cited several examples of this in his book: “Mujabu Da’wah”. (ibid)

No Specific forms of worship ⛔
There are no specific types of Salah etc. that are prescribed for the Month of Rajab. One may engage in whatever form of ‘ibadah one is comfortable with. (Lataiful Ma’arif, pg.168, Islamic Months by Mufti Taqi Uthmani, pgs. 63 and 79)

The beginning of a new season 🗝
The crescent of Rajab actually signals the start of a “New Season”. One of more hope, special mercy and forgiveness for a believer. This “season” only finishes three months later; on the day of Eid!

👌🏽Shaykh Abu Bakr Balkhy (rahimahullah) says:
“Rajab is a month in which we plant the seeds of good. i.e, by increasing our ‘ibadah. In Sha’ban we water them, to cultivate (and reap the rewards) in Ramadan”
(Lataif, pg. 173)

💎 Opportunities like these only come once a year. Fortunate are those who maximise their benefit there from.

﷽

Counting Dhikr on date pits & tasbih beeds

Question
Could you mention the Hadith, that states: date seeds or pebbles were used while doing dhikr?
Also could you mention its authenticity?

Answer
Sayyiduna Sa’d ibn Abi Waqqas (radiyallahu ‘anhu) reports that Rasulullah ﷺ visited a woman who was reciting tasbih on date pits, or pebbles…

(Sunan Tirmidhi, Sahih Ibn Hibban & Mustadrak Hakim)
This Hadith is classified as authentic.

Shaykh ‘Abdul Hayy Laknawi (rahimahullah) – a world renowned Scholar – has a detailed book on the issue of using the ‘subhah’ or ‘tasbih’ (a collection of beads on a string) for reciting/counting dhikr. He has substantiated this with Hadiths of Rasulullah (sallallahu’alayhi wasallam), the practice of the Sahabah (radiyallahu’anhum) as well as the verdicts of the ‘Ulama.

This book is printed and is entitled: Nuzhatul Fikr, fi Subhati Dhikr.

‘Allamah Suyuti (rahimahullah has also authored a booklet on this issue entitled: Al-Minhah fis Subhah.

And Allah Ta’ala knows best,

Respect for one’s Teacher 🌟👌🏼

Al-Muhaddith Shaykh Muhammad ‘Awwamah’s (hafizahullah) son; Shaykh Muhyuddin writes about his father:
‘I cannot remember my father ever talking on the phone whilst sitting when he spoke to his teacher; Shaykh ‘Abdul Fattah Abu Ghuddah (rahimahullah).

Despite the many phone calls they shared, he always stood [out of respect] for his teacher. To the extent that as children, whenever we saw our father standing and talking on the phone, we knew he was taking to his esteemed teacher; Shaykh ‘Abdul Fattah Abu Ghuddah (rahimahullah).🤝

(Refer: Safahat Mudiah min Hayati Sayyidil Walid, pg.80)

Subhanallah!🕋

What sublime etiquette. Allah Ta’ala inspires the sincere ones with such noble forms of respect.

🕯 Moral
Respect for ones teacher or senior is not restricted to their presence. Rather even in their absence they deserve our utmost respect.🌟

👌🏼 Respect for ones teachers and seniors is an inherent quality of the pious. The following is a famous statement among the ‘Ulama:

ما فاز من فاز إلا بالأدب
وما سقط من سقط إلا بسوء الأدب

All those who had good manners succeeded.👌🏼

Whilst those who had bad manners were surely failures.❗

Hadith guidelines on tooth-picking

Islam lays unparalleled emphasis on oral hygiene.
The emphasis on brushing the teeth with the miswak is just one example.

The Sunnah of Picking the Teeth
Another form of oral hygiene - in Islam- is the encouragement to pick the teeth after meals.

Sayyiduna Abu Ayyub (radiyallahu 'anhu) reports that Rasulullah ﷺ said:
'How good is [the practice of] those in my Ummah, who wash between the fingers and toes in wudu [i.e. by doing khilal] and those who pick their teeth.'
(Ibn Abi Shaybah & Musnad Ahmad)

Tooth-picking
In the above and other Hadiths, we are taught to pick the teeth after meals. In addition to causing decay, leaving food unpicked from the teeth also creates an odour which offends others.
(Faydul Qadir)

The teeth are usually picked:
1⃣ with the tongue,
2⃣ with a finger,
3⃣ with an object like the toothpick/dental floss/waterpik etc

However, we are advised to not swallow the food particles that are picked with fingers, toothpicks or other foreign objects.

✅ Sayyiduna Abu Hurayrah (radiyallahu 'anhu) reports that Rasulullah ﷺ said:
'... Whoever eats and removes the [left over] food from between his teeth with his finger [or any foreign object, like a toothpick] should spit it out. What he removes [from the teeth] with his tongue, he may swallow. Whoever abides by this does well, and who does not, will not be sinful.
(Sunan Abi Dawud)

One reason for spitting what is removed with a foreign object is due to the possibility of it having blood on it. [The consumption of blood is unlawful].
(Badhul Majhud, vol. 1 pg. 23)

The above should be done with the intention of following the noble teaching of our Beloved Nabi ﷺ

Every sunnah is filled with immense barakah and benefits.

A clean heart goes to Jannah 💙

📌Sayyiduna Anas (radiyallahu ‘anhu) says:
“We were sitting with Nabi ﷺ when he said: “A man who is from the inmates of Jannah is about to arrive.”
Soon thereafter, a Sahabi came in, with his shoes in his left hand & the water of wudu dripping from his beard. When the gathering ended, Sayyiduna ‘Abdullah ibn ‘Amr ibn ‘As (radiyallahu ‘anhuma) followed this person [with the motive of learning the reason for him being blessed with such a glad tiding]

He said to him: “I have taken an oath that I will not go home for 3⃣ days. Is it possible for you to accommodate me for this time?” The Sahabi agreed. Sayyiduna ‘Abdullah ibn ‘Amr stayed with him for 3⃣ days, but noticed nothing extraordinary in his routine. i.e, he never engaged in additional voluntary deeds as expected.

🔎 However, whenever this Sahabi (radiyallahu ‘anhu) would go to bed at night, he would recite some form of dhikr, then sleep till fajr. Furthermore, during these 3⃣ days he did not hear him utter any word besides good.

👉🏽 Sayyiduna ‘Abdullah ibn ‘Amr (radiyallahu ‘anhuma) says: ‘After 3⃣ nights I almost deemed his deeds as ‘nothing so special’. I approached him and explained that my real motive for staying with him was to discover the special act that he may be engaging in, which warranted his guarantee of Jannah.’ Then I asked him: ‘How did You achieve such a rank?’ He said: ‘I have no special deeds beside whatever You have seen during your stay.’ I accepted this and was about to leave when he exclaimed: ‘O, Yes! there is something.
✅ I do not harbor any evil or malice in my heart against any fellow Muslim. I am not jealous over whatever good Allah bestows upon any of them.’ Sayyiduna ‘Abdullah ibn ‘Amr (radiyallahu ‘anhuma) said:
👌🏽 ‘That is precisely the reason for you reaching such a lofty status. 👌🏽
(Musnad Ahmad & Nasai. Also see: Tafsir Ibn Kathir, Surah: 59, Ayah: 9)

🕋 Let’s earn our Place in Jannah too by emptying our hearts of ill-feelings/malice/jealousy etc towards others.
Failure to do so is more harmful to ourselves, instead of anyone else...‼

One cannot imagine the amount of reward achievable for this weekly deed. 👌🏼

No wonder according to some experts, there is no other Sahih (authentic) Hadith with greater virtue than this one!

May Allah Ta’ala grant us all the ability to take advantage of this opportunity. Amin.

﷽

Leaving for the Masjid in the state of Wudu 🚰🏘🕌

There are several incentives for one who does wudu at his residence before leaving for the masjid.
Hereunder are some of those benefits:

1⃣ Sayyiduna Abu Hurayrah (radiyallahu ‘anhu) reports that Rasulullah ﷺ said:
‘When one performs wudu at home and leaves for the masjid solely to offer salah [in congregation], for every step taken towards the masjid [in this state of wudu] one sin is forgiven, one reward accrued and one stage is elevated in the Hereafter.’
(Sahih Bukhari & Sahih Muslim)

2⃣ Sayyiduna Abu Umamah (radiyallahu ‘anhu) reports that Rasulullah ﷺ said:
‘One who performs wudu at home then proceeds to the masjid for fard salah secures the reward of a Haji in the state of ihram.’
(Sunan Abi Dawud)

🕌 Doing wudu at home before proceeding to the masjid is a recommended practice. Besides the above, it holds other spiritual benefits as well. 🕋

✅ Let’s try and inculcate this noble practice in our daily routine. 🚰

It will also be a source of blessings coming into our homes, insha Allah.

Recital after Jumu’ah for protection

🕋 After the Fard of Jumu’ah Salah, in addition to the normal recitals for after every fard salah, one may add the following:

Sayyidatuna ‘Aishah (radiyallahu’anha) reports that Rasulullah ﷺ said:

‘Whoever recites the following surahs 7 times, before talking to anyone after the Jumu’ah salah, will be protected till the following Jumu’ah:

✅Surah Ihklas,
✅Surah Falaq
✅Surah Nas

(‘Amalul yawmi wal laylah of Ibnus Sunni, Hadith: 375. Also see: Al-Adhkar, Hadith: 520 & Al-Futuhatur Rabbaniyyah, 4/232-233)

👌🏽This is suitable for practice and is well supported by similar reports from other Sahabah and Tabi’un (radiyallahu’anhum)

👉🏼 Note 1: Some narrations add Surah Fatihah at the beginning.

👉🏼 Note 2: ‘Protection’ in this Hadith refers to protection of one’s wealth, family as well as one’s worldly and religious affairs.

⚖ In an era of uncertainty like our’s, this recital is very pertinent, and should not be ignored…

﷽

Recommended times for using the Miswak 🌴

👌🏽 Perhaps the most encapsulating Hadith on the importance of brushing the teeth with a Miswak is the narration of Sayyiduna Abu Umamah (radiyallahu’anhu) wherein Rasulullah ﷺ says:

’Use the Miswak, for it is a means of cleansing the mouth and attaining the pleasure of Allah. Every time Jibril (‘alayhi salam) came to me he advised me to use the Miswak, to an extent that I feared it may become obligatory for me and my ummah to use it. If it wasn’t for the fear of creating difficulty upon my followers, I would have made it binding on them. Indeed I use the Miswak so much that I fear for my gums.’

(Ibn Majah, Hadith:289, see Targheeb 1/166)

The Scholars have enumerated up to 🔟 different moments in which we are encouraged to use the Miswak:

1⃣ Upon awakening
2⃣ While making wudhu
3⃣ Before offering salah (provided the gums don’t bleed)
4⃣ Before reciting the Holy Quran
5⃣ Before meeting with people
6⃣ Upon entering the home
7⃣ When one is hungry
8⃣ When the teeth become yellow
9⃣ When the mouth has a bad odour
🔟 Before death (if one can sense it)

This displays the emphasis Islam lays on Dental care. 💎

👍🏼 Let’s make all of the above part of our routine.

💎 A Beautiful Hadith on Salam🤝

Sayyiduna ‘Abdullah Ibn Mas'ud (radiyallahu’anhu) reports that Nabi ﷺ said:

‘As-Salam is one of the names of Allah ﷻ‎ that has been placed on Earth. So, spread it amongst yourselves!
For indeed when a Muslim passes by a group of people and greets them [first] with Salam and they reply to him, he will supersede their rank by virtue of merely reminding them of the Salam.
If they do not reply to him, then those [Angels] who are better and more purer will have replied!’
(Musnad Bazzar and Tabarani with a reliable chain)

✅ Let’s take advantage of this beautiful benefit of saying Salam first, while also being aware that if we do not receive a reply, it’s the Angels who will indeed do so insha Allah.

The Angel’s reply to our sneeze! 🗣

🎯 The following is recorded from Sayyiduna ‘Abdullah Ibn ‘Abbas (radiyallahu’anhuma) with a reliable chain:
‘When one sneezes, [even if he is alone] he should still say: Alhamdulillahi Rabbil ‘Alamin.
When he does so, the Angels reply to him saying: Yarhamukallah.’
(May Allah have mercy on you)

📌 The renowned Tabi’i, Ibrahim Nakha’i (rahimahullah) said:
‘Therefore, after saying Alhamdulillah… one who is alone [or one who does not receive a reply from those present] should say:
Yarhamunallahu wa iyyakum.’
(May Allah Ta’ala have mercy on you and I)

As a reply to the Angels and other creation. 👌🏽

📚 Refer: Al-Adabul Mufrad of Imam Bukhari, 946, Ibn Abi Shaybah, 26517 & Fathul Bari, 6221)

﷽
👌🏽 Reciting Hadiths of Sahih Bukhari for removal of difficulty

It is a famous statement among the Muhaddithun:
‘When reciting Hadith, Allah’s ﷻ‎ special mercies descend.’
(Tadribur Rawi, 4/540)

During times of difficulty, fear and hardship, in addition to Quran recital and other forms of du’a etc, one practice of our pious predecessors; recent and ancient is to recite the entire Sahih Bukhari in order to draw Allah’s ﷻ‎ special mercy.

Sahih Bukhari consists of among the most authentic Hadiths of Rasulullah ﷺ ever gathered.
Through the blessings (barakah) of reciting these noble Hadiths, Allah ﷻ‎ removes adversity. This is a well tried and tested practice & is based on centuries of experience.
✅ It was the habit of our Akabir and our pious predecessors (rahimahumullah) to engage in a recital of the entire Bukhari Shareef in times of difficulty and strife.
💎 Several Muhaddithun have mentioned the effect of this deed in removing harm, illlness and calamity including drought.
This is a tried and tested practice over centuries.

Many Muhaddithun of the past too have mentioned their experience in the effect of this method of supplication.

📚 See 10 quotations from the senior Hadith masters here:
http://www.al-miftah.com/reciting-hadiths-of-sahih-bukhari-for-ease-from-difficulty/

🕋 Currently the Ummah of Nabi ﷺ is undergoing untold challenges.
📌From Syria to Yemen to Iraq, Afghanistan, Somalia, Myanmar (Burma) and Sri Lanka- to name a few.

💡 In light of the above, reliable, qualified ‘Ulama should be approached with a request of reviving this practice.
People should support such initiatives and facilitate these recitals of the ’most authentic book authored by man’.
In so doing we would attract additional mercy of Allah ﷻ‎.
May Allah ﷻ‎ remove the sufferings of Muslims throughout the globe soon, very soon.

❗ Note: Such recitals should only be conducted by ‘Ulama who are qualified to do so.
The general masses may attend the completion and du’a for its blessings.

THE MODESTY OF SAYYIDUNA ‘UTHMAN (RADIYALLAHU ‘ANHU) 👌🏽

Question🔍

Is the following narration authentic?

💎 Rasulullah ﷺ was reclining in his house while his legs were uncovered. Sayyiduna Abu Bakr (radiyallahu ‘anhu) sought permission to enter, so he permitted him to enter and he spoke to him. Then Sayyiduna ‘Umar (radiyallahu ‘anhu) sought permission to enter, so he was permitted likewise, and he spoke to him as well while he continued to recline. Then Sayyiduna ‘Uthman came and sought permission to enter, so Nabi ﷺ sat up and straightened his garments. Sayyiduna ‘Uthman was then permitted to enter and he spoke to him.

When he left, Sayyidah ‘Aaishah (radiyallahu ‘anha) said to Nabi ﷺ : ‘Abu Bakr came and you did not move, ‘Umar came and you did not move, but when ‘Uthman came you sat up and straightened your garments?’
Nabi ﷺ said: “Should I not feel shy before a man whom the Angels feel shy for ?“ 👌🏽

﷽

What to do on Auspicious Nights?

We are usually aware of the significant occasions that present themselves each year. The crucial thing is how do we “avail ourselves” and maximise our benefit from these blessed nights?
Here under is a suggested format for “What to do on Blessed nights?”

Practicing on the following 10 points won't take more than an hour insha Allah.

Offer the Maghrib, Esha & Fajr Salahs in congregation.
- receive the reward of spending the entire night in 'ibadah.
Sleep in the state of wudhu.
- your soul will make sajdah under the 'Arsh (Throne) of Allah ﷻ‎.
Abstain from sin.
Clear your heart from ill-feelings towards fellow Muslims.
- or else be deprived of Allah's mercy.
Salatut Tasbeeh.
see next message.
Tilawat (Recital) of Quran.
Salawat on Rasulullah ﷺ
Dhikr.

There are many forms of Dhikrullah. the following are suggested:
A hundred times “Laa ilaah illallah”
A hundred times repeating the name of “Allah”
And a hundred times:
“Subhaanallahi wabihamdihi subhanallahil ‘Azeem”

Du’a.

Tawbah.

The procedure for Tawbah is:
a. Perform two rak’ahs of Salah. (Optional)
b. Stop the sin that one is repenting from.
c. Regret the sin from the bottom of your heart.
d. Make a determined pledge with Allah ﷻ‎ never to repeat that sin.Besides the two rak’aats of Salah,the remainder are all fundamental.

Furthermore, if the sin involved usurping the right of the next person, one needs to ask him/her for forgiveness too. Without this we are not guaranteed forgiveness.

If that person has passed away, we could make dua for him and repay the debt (if any) to his/her heirs.

Note 1: The above can all be achieved in about 1 hour only.
Salatut Tasbeeh: 20 mins
Tawbah: can be incorporated in the du’a
Zikr: 10 mins
Salawaat: 5 mins
Tilawat: 15 mins
Du’a & Tawbah: 10 mins

However if one is short on time for whatever reason, then the following 5 points are suggested:
a) Esha & Fajr with Jamat
b) Sleep with Wudhu
c) Abstain from sin
d) clean the heart
e) Du'a

Note 2: The night commences at Maghrib, not after Esha or after Taraweeh or at Sehri time. Therefore one can and should commence ‘ibadah from Maghrib, although it is indeed best to do so at the last part of the night.

Note 3: These are mere suggestions intended to make it easy for people. One may engage in whatever form of ‘ibadah one is comfortable with.
May Allah Ta’ala grant us all complete forgiveness and steadfastness on guidance. Ameen.

Please do remember the writer in your supplication as well.

Du'a when Ramadan arrives

Sayyiduna ‘Ubadah ibn Samit (radiyallahu’anhu) reports that Rasulullah ﷺ use to teach the Sahabah (radiyallahu’anhum) the following Du’a when the Blessed month of Ramadan would arrive:

اَللّٰهُمَّ سَلّمْنِيْ لِرَمَضانَ وَسَلّمْ رَمَضانَ لِيْ وَسَلّمْه لِي مُتَقَبَّلا

(رواه الطبراني في الدعاء والديلمي ، وسنده حسن- كنز العمال 8/584)

Allahumma sallimni li Ramadana, wa sallim Ramadana li, wa sallimhu li mutaqabbala

Translation: O Allah! preserve me for Ramadan, safeguard Ramadan for me and accept it from me.

Explanation

“Preserve me for Ramadan” means: O Allah! allow me to remain healthy and able so I may benefit from Ramadan. It shouldn’t be that when Ramadan arrives, I am caught up in some unfortunate condition that hinders our Fast, ‘ibadah etc.

“Safeguard Ramadan for me” means: In addition to being able, O Allah! grant me the tawfeeq (ability) to maximise my benefit from this auspicious occasion. Many able people witness this month but fail to actually benefit from it. These people are truly unfortunate! May Allah save us.

“and accept it from me” means: O Allah! after inspiring me to be devoted throughout the month, don’t let it go to waste by not accepting it.

The Habit of the Salaf (predecessors)

1⃣ The famous Tabi’i: Imam Makhool (rahimahullah) would recite this du’a at the beginning of Ramadan.

2⃣ ‘Abdul ‘Azeez ibn Abi Rawwad (Demise: 159 A.H.) said that “the muslims would recite” a similar du’a (with additions to the above wording) upon the arrival of Ramadan.

3⃣ Imam Muhammad ibn Nasar Al-Marwazi has stated that it was the habit of the Sahabah (radiyallahu’anhum) and the Tabi’un (rahimahumullah) to recite this du’a when Ramadan arrived.

4⃣ The reliable Tabi’i; Yahya Ibn Abi Katheer (rahimahullah) said:
“It was their habit (the Sahabah and Tabi’un) to make this du’a…”
------
May Allah ﷻ‎ bless us with all of the above this Ramadan.

How do you react to Ramadan❓

Nobody can skip Ramadan, we are all given this opportunity equally.
How we react to this auspicious month is actually our own choice.

With 10 days already passed, it's an ideal time to reflect on the following.

In essence, there are three reactions to this blessed season:

1⃣ There are some who are already spiritually charged and await this month in earnest. They use this as an opportunity to progress further in spirituality during Ramadan. These individuals maximise their benefit from this month. They are the fortunate ones!
May we be from this group

2⃣ There are others who are aware of the auspiciousness of the month and prepare themselves to honour its sanctity as much as possible. They shun the sins that they usually engage in during the other eleven months of the year and even try to increase their ‘ibadat in Ramadan. However, once the month departs, they revert to those wrongs! It’s as if they braced themselves for this month only. They then release the 'hand-break' once the crescent of Shawwal is sighted. This is the middle group and unfortunately the majority.

3⃣ There many to whom Ramadan makes no difference! They show no regard to it whatsoever and persist in the wrongs that they are so accustomed to. These are the deprived ones! They are the real losers!
May Allah ﷻ‎ save us

Which team we belong to is really up to us!

May Allah ﷻ‎ protect us all and inspire us to accept this auspicious month with open arms, and to maximize our benefit therefrom. Amin.

⛔ The religion of entertainment ❗

The trend around the globe is that people are constantly looking for innovative ways of entertaining themselves.
This ‘hunger for entertainment’ has a gradual effect of retrogression on one’s spirituality.

Un-Detected
In the recent past, the tendency of making jokes that entail the symbols of Islam have alarmingly increased.

Even more astonishing is the fact that many of us Muslims don’t even realize the proportion of its ill-effect.

The Significance of a Symbol

Allah ﷻ‎ says:

ومن يعظم شعائر الله فإنها من تقوى القلوب
‘And whoever honours the symbols of Allah, does so out of the taqwa [that exits] in the heart.’
(Surah Haj, verse: 32)

A symbol is something that exclusively represents whatever it symbolizes.

Making fun of the symbols of Islam is a mockery of Islam itself! ⚠
The Fuqaha have ruled that when one mocks at a symbol of Islam, he could be removed from the fold!
(Durrul Mukhtar, with Raddul Muhtar, vol.5 pg.474)

Jokes that portray people reciting the Quran or offering salah in a comical manner, or a man making du’a using words and phrases that are meant to create a laugh indeed fall very close to ‘One who mocks a symbol of Islam.’
Jokes about 'God' are also included in the above. ⛔
How can a Muslim make fun at his very own religion? How did we reach such a level? It surely didn’t happen in the blink of an eye. These are the ill-effects of our hunger for entertainment.

Who is then to blame for defamatory cartoons and other such mockups of our religion⁉

Allah ﷻ‎ has clearly stated:

وما هو بالهزل
‘And it (the Quran and its teachings, ie, Islam) is not a joke’
(Surah Tariq, verse: 14)

What to do ❓
⚠When one receives such a clip or joke, immediately delete it. Don’t share it with anyone, as this leads to it spreading. Sometimes, ignoring futility is the best way to eradicate it.
By sharing such jokes, we become guilty of this mockery ourselves!

⛔ Lastly, one should –if possible- tactfully advise the sender against sharing/creating such content.

May Allah ﷻ‎ save us from ‘the religion of entertainment’, as that is not the religion brought by Muhammad ﷺ !!

⚡ Amazing benefits of 10 verses of Surah Baqarah

In an era like ours, in which we’ve become immune to insecurity & unpleasant surprises, the following prescription from one of the most knowledgeable Sahabah (radiyallahu’anhum) is very pertinent.

Lets read through the following narrations and be inspired.

Sayyiduna ‘Abdullah ibn Mas’ud (radiyallahu’anhu) said:

‘Whoever recites the following ten verses of Surah Baqarah in the morning,
1⃣ will be saved from Shaytan till the evening, and whoever recites it in the evening will be protected from Shaytan till the morning.

2⃣ He will not experience unpleasant surprises in his family or wealth.

3⃣ If these verses are recited on an insane person, he will be cured.

One narration adds:

4⃣ ‘If they are recited in a home, no Shaytan shall enter it till the morning.’

(Sunan Darimi, Shu’abul Iman & Al-Mu’jamul Kabir. ‘Allamah Suyuti has declared one chain of Darimi as authentic (sahih) refer: Da’il Falah, Hadith: 84)

Those ten verses are:

The first four verses.
(according to some ‘Ulama this ends at the word: ‘Muflihun‘
(Al-Hirzuth Thamin, vol.1 pg.521)

Ayatul Kursi & the two verses that follow it.

The last three verses.

Let's make it our habit of reciting these verses every morning & evening.

﷽

Become the Beloved of Allah ⚡

From the entire three hundred and sixty days of the Islamic calendar, there is no other set of ten days that is more virtuous, then the first ten days of Dhul Hijjah.
(lataiful Ma’arif)

The Ten most Blessed days of the year have arrived!
Nabi ﷺ actually labelled them as: ‘The best days in the world.’
(Musnad Bazzar)

All Deeds are most beloved to Allah on these days ⚡
During this time of the year, any good deed one does, is most loved by Allah ﷻ‎ ; be that even a deed as easy as a subhanallah.

There is no better time in the whole year for one to do good than these blessed days [and nights], other than on Laylatul Qadr.

✅Rasulullah ﷺ said:
‘There are no other days in which Allah loves good deeds more than on these [10] days.’
(Sahih Bukhari)

✅One version adds: ‘…so frequently recite therein: Subhanallah, Alhamdulillah, la ilaha illallah and Allahu Akbar.
(Al-Mu’jamul Kabir)

✅Sayyiduna Anas (radiyallahu’anhu) says;
'It was understood about these days, that each day is equal to a thousand days [in virtue]’
(Shu’abul Iman)

Become the beloved of Allah!
These days ahead of us actually offer us the grand opportunity of becoming beloved to Allah ﷻ.

In the above narrations we learn the following:
These days are most beloved to Allah.
Good deeds on these days are also most beloved to Allah.
Frequently recite the dhikrs: Subhanallah, Alhamdulillah, la ilaha illallah & Allahu Akbar.
In an authentic (sahih) narration, Nabi ﷺ has labelled these four dhikrs as: the most beloved of statements to Allah.
(Sahih Muslim)

All of this culminate with the tenth day; the day of ‘Eidul Adha. The day of slaughter. On this day, the most beloved deed is to slaughter an animal for Allah’s sake.
(Sunan Tirmidhi)

One who implements the above, can go along way in achieving the love of Allah ﷻ‎.

We have done enough of those deeds that Allah Ta’ala despises and hates. This is our chance to rectify that…

Do what is beloved to Allah, on the days that are most beloved to Allah, and we ourselves can become beloved to Allah ﷻ‎.

Rectified Motives & Reformed Children

The Honourable Hadith expert of our times, Al-Muhaddith, Shaykh Muhammad ‘Awwamah (may Allah protect him) often states that the residents of Madinah Munawwarah would regularly make the following du’a:

اللّٰهُمَّ أَصْلِحِ النِّيَّةَ والذُّرِّيَّةَ
Allahumma aslihin niyyah wadh dhurriyyah

Translation
O Allah, rectify my intentions & reform My progeny.

This brief yet profound du’a is much needed in the world today.
‼ Ponder: One who is berift of the above 2 bounties will suffer in both Worlds❗

The Selfie Age
Unfortunately we live in an era where almost ‘nothing is done without an ulterior motive.’
It’s an era wherein everything is ’selfied’; be it with a pic or even in text.

‼ Without the correct motive, no deed is accepted by Allah ﷻ‎

❌ Even if that deed be as noble as it gets; we should still be focused on our intentions, instead of broadcasting our achievements❗

A Rare Breed
The need for ‘reformed’ offspring is understood by one and all. Especially in an age where such a blessing is of a rare kind.
Fortunate are those who have already achieved this.
While many of us still only yearn for that blessing...

Let’s include this du’a in our daily supplications, in addition to the physical effort that is needed to achieve the above.
Insha Allah we will see great results.

May Allah ﷻ‎ accept all our efforts and du’as.

﷽

Simple Recitals during bad wheather

In conditions like the above, in addition to sincere repentance & additional salah, we should frequently recite the du’as taught to us in the Noble Hadith of Nabi ﷺ.

From the many sunnah du’as for such conditions, the following is a list of the more easy ones:

When it’s windy:❄

اللّٰهُمَّ اجْعَلْها رِياحًا ولا تَجْعَلْها رِيْحًا
Allahummaj ‘alha riyahan wa la taj’alha reehan

Translation
O Allah, let it be a wind of mercy, not one of punishment.
(Tabarani & others)

While it’s raining

اللّٰهُمَّ صَيِّبًا نافِعا
Allahumma sayyiban nafi’a

Translation
O Allah, let it be a beneficial downpour.
(Sahih Bukhari)

☔ When it rains heavily:

اللّٰهُمَّ حَوالَيْنا وَلا عَلَيْنا
Allahumma hawalayna wa la ‘alayna.

Translation
O Allah, let it rain around us, not upon us.
(Sahih Bukhari)

⚡ During a storm/thunder and lightning:⛈

اللّٰهُمَّ لا تَقْتُلْنا بِغَضَبِكَ ولا تُهْلِكْنا بِعَذابِكَ وَعافِنا قَبْلَ ذلِك
Allahumma la taqtulna bi ghadabika wa la tuhlikna bi ‘adhabika wa ‘afina qabla dhalik

Translation
O Allah, Do not kill us through your anger, do not destroy us with your punishment & save us before that occurs.
(Tirmidhi & Nasai)

A suggested du’a [by ‘Ulama] for when driving in the rain:

إنَّ اللّهَ يُمْسِكُ السَّماواتِ وَالأَرْضَ أَنْ تَزُولا
Innalllaha yumsikus samawati wal arda an tazula

Translation
Undoubtedly it is Allah who keeps the heavens & earth from shaking.
(Al-Ibtihaj of ‘Allamah Sakhawi)

Among the best of recitals for such conditions is the recital of Surah Falaq & Surah Nas frequently.

Sayyiduna ‘Uqbah ibn ‘Amir (radiyallahu ‘anhu)says:
“While I was travelling with Rasulullah ﷺ a strong wind & intense darkness enveloped us. Nabi ﷺ began reciting Surah Falaq and Surah Nas. He then said, ‘Uqbah, seek refuge through these two Surahs for none can seek refuge [with anything better] than these two Surahs…”
(Sunan Abi Dawud, Hadith: 1458)

May Allah Ta’ala protect everyone.

﷽
Respect our marhum, fallen brethren ❌❌

Undoubtedly, Allah ﷻ has favoured the Ummah of Nabi Muhammad ﷺ in countless ways.

⏱ Intervalled Tests
From time to time Allah ﷻ -by his wisdom- also tests the Ummah.
Nabi ﷺ informed the Ummah that they will be tested by Allah ﷻ in the form of natural catastrophies and other physical hardships.

Currently many Muslims throughout the world are subject to unimaginable torture and brutality.
⌛ Insha Allah, this is a passing phase, which will be replaced with better times ahead for the Muslims globally.

✔ Feel the Pain
As Muslims, and members of one global family, we are definitely required to feel their pain and to make an earnest effort to assist them in every way possible.
But that ‘effort’ does not include circulating gruesome pictures of our brothers and sisters! ❌❌

Human dignity
Allah ﷻ has endowed humanity with dignity. (Surah Isra)
As Humans, we are taught to cover the deceased wherever they may be. And not to leave human corpses to lay around like that of animals!

ثم أماته فأقبره
Then He (Allah) gave man death and had him buried.
(Surah ‘Abasa)

Broadcasting pics of our fellow Muslim brothers and sisters choking on their blood or laying martyred on the ground or even as decapitated is totally wrong!
In trying to -rightfully- create awareness of their plight we have -unknowingly- failed their right to privacy.
It is indeed sad, how we have violated their dignity, albeit unintentionally.
The same applies to when fellow friends are involved in car-accidents and any other tragedy.

Lets do it the right way
Please do continue to raise awareness and to assist the part of our family that is greatly in need.
✅ Do it in the correct manner. Don’t be tricked into thinking that they would want their fallen bodies broadcast throughout the world.
Would we want that for our own selves or our blood brothers, sisters, parents and children⁉
Therefore, let’s keep the posters, flyers & clips free of such pictures.
It shouldn’t be that due to the current bombardment of brutal pictures and clips, we become immune to such scenes, and then do nothing about it besides passing it around… ❗

May Allah ﷻ guide us and may He‎ alleviate the suffering of the Ummah, soon. Very soon.

بحوله وقدرته. وما ذلك علىالله بعزيز

﷽

There is no bad luck in the month of Safar❗

Sayyiduna Abu Hurayrah (radiyallahu’anhu) reports that Rasulullah ﷺ said:
‘There is no such thing as [the month of] Safar [being bad].’
(Sahih Bukhari)

In light of this & other Hadiths, to regard the month of Safar as an unlucky month or as a month in which calamities occur is unislamic.
This is actually a false notion from the pre-Islamic era.❌

Hafiz Ibn Rajab Al-Hambali (rahimahullah) said:
‘The people of Jahiliyyah (the pre-Islamic age) would regard Safar as a source of bad luck. Nabi ﷺ has abolished this belief.
There are many ignorant people who continue to regard Safar as a bad month...’
(Lataiful Ma’arif, pg.148)

This ruling is echoed by many other Scholars.
(refer: Mirqat, Hadith: 4577 & Ma Thabata bis Sunnah of Shah ‘Abdul Haq, pg.267)

⛔ Another Fabrication:
There is a narration that states: ‘Whoever gives me the good news of Safar departing, I will give him the good news of Jannah.’

This is not a Hadith of Rasulullah ﷺ. ‼
The Hadith Experts have ruled it a fabrication.
(Kashful Khafa, Hadith: 2416)

One should avoid spreading such misinformation.

﷽

Chosen Fruit

The following are among the fruit that Rasulullah ﷺ is reported to have consumed in his lifetime:

Fresh dates.
Dry dates.
Grapes.
Nabi ﷺ would enjoy grapes.

↪ 4. Raisins.

Melons.
Melons as well as fresh dates are reported to be from the most beloved of fruit to Rasulullah ﷺ.

↪ 6. Cucumbers.
Rasulullah ﷺ would relish this. He would at times prefer to have it with a bit of salt.

↪ 7. Pomegranates.

Sayyidunna Abdullah ibn ‘Abbas (radiyallahu’anhuma) is reported to have commented that in each pomegranate there is a seed from Jannah.
(Majma’uz Zawaid, vol. 5 pg. 45)

In fact, the Quran states that pomegranates will be among the fruit of Jannah.
(Surah Ar-Rahman: 68)

Refer for the above list to: Subulul Huda war Rashad, vol. 7 pgs. 204-209.

When eating the above fruit, one should also intend to emulate Sayyiduna Nabi ﷺ.

﷽

Nabi ﷺ's love for his daughter Sayyidah Fatimah (radiyallahu'anha)

Sayyidah ‘Aaishah (radiyallahu ‘anha) says, “….Whenever Fatimah (radiyallahu ‘anha) visited Nabi ﷺ, he would stand up and welcome her, take her hand, kiss it and make her sit in his place.”

(Mustadrak Hakim, 3/154. Declared authentic by 'Allamah Dhahabi)

Morals

✅ As a mark of respect & love, one may stand up to welcome a visitor.

✅ Kissing the hand of one's friend/beloved is also a sunnah.

✅ When we receive and welcome someone, give them the best seat in the house. Even if it be your own personal place- especially if it's someone very respectable.

﷽

Don't neglect salah while travelling

With the annual holidays upon us, we are reminded to ensure that we do not omit any salah.
A believer never neglects his/her salah.
The following Hadith is further inspiration for us on this issue, as Nabi ﷺ made special du'a for mercy on the one who was particular about his salah even while on journey.
Nabi ﷺ said:

“May Allah have mercy on my brother Abdullah ibn Rawahah, wherever he was and the time of Salah set in, he would stop his conveyance [to offer Salah]”

('Abdur Razzaq & Tabarani with a sound (hasan) chain.)

We as Muslims should not feel shy to offer our salah whenever we are [as long as we are not obstructing others].

⛴

✅This is a very active form of da'wah too.

Many people the world over were attracted to Islam by this.

How nice if Allah ﷻ‎ uses us also to guide others.

﷽

How often have we purchased items from vendors on the streets and sidewalks?

Those of us who do so, also have the habit of bargaining with these poor vendors.

The following Hadith is a source of guidance & inspiration on this topic:

Generosity of the Buyer

Sayyiduna Jabir (radiyallahu'anhu) reports that Nabi ﷺ had purchased a camel from me.
Rasulullah ﷺ paid me the price, and gave me a little extra.
As I departed He ﷺ called me back. I thought perhaps Nabi ﷺ was unhappy with the camel & wanted to return it. When I went to him, he said: 'You may keep the money and the camel.'

(Sahih Bukhari, hadith: 2097 & Sahih Muslim, hadith: 3626)

Morals

When paying our dues, it's good to give a little extra too.

✅ Sayyiduna Jabir (radiyallahu'anhu) had lots of overheads. He had the expenses of his 7 sisters as well.
This was a way in which Nabi ﷺ offered his support to him.

Let us also revive this practice, especially when we are purchasing goods from poor vendors on the sidewalks.
[on condition they are not exploiting foreign tourists]

✅ Instead of bargaining with such people, who are in conditions of much need, we ought to be paying the full price.

In some instances we should pay extra with the intention of charity.

At least once in a while, pay the price, take the item & then return it without taking back the money either.

See the joy that this blessed Sunnah of Nabi ﷺ brings to their faces.

In fact, the doer too feels a sense of satisfaction in this.

It could also be a means of attracting them to Islam.

Let's give it a try this holiday season.

﷽

There are many rewarding deeds whose merits are inflated based on the occasion in which they are carried out.

One such deed is:

Walking for the salah of Jumu’ah.

Sayyiduna Aws Ibn Aws (radiyallahu ‘anhu) reports that Rasulullah ﷺ said:

Whoever (does the following on a Friday):

Will receive for every step:

The reward for one year’s fast and one year’s Tahajjud Salaah!

(Sunan Abi Dawud & Tirmidhi, classified as Sahih by Imams: Ibn Khuzaimah, Ibn Hibban and Hakim)

There’s Nothing Better

One cannot imagine the amount of reward achievable for this weekly deed.

No wonder according to some experts, there is no other Sahih (authentic) Hadith with greater virtue than this one!

May Allah Ta’ala grant us all the ability to take advantage of this opportunity. Ameen.

Wudu incentives

The wudu of a believer is indicative of the position that cleanliness holds in Islam. Being the key to Salah, a mu’min will perform wudu at least 5 times a day. Therefore, utmost care should be taken in perfecting it. By implementing the following sunnats and guidelines extracted from the noble Ahadith of Rasulullah ﷺ, one would Insha Allah be able to achieve maximum reward for the wudu.

1⃣ If a person recites the following du’a before commencing wudu, the angles will continue recording reward for him as long as he remains in that wudu: ✅

Bismillahi wal Hamdulillah

Translation: In the name of Allah, all praise is for Allah.
(Al-Mu’jamus Saghir li Tabarani, classified as sound; Majmaúz zawaid)

2⃣ The use of miswak multiples the reward of two rakats of salah 70 fold. ⚖
(Abu Nu’aim in Kitabus Siwak, declared reliable; Targhib)

3⃣ Among the practices of Rasulullah ﷺ that is extinct nowadays during wudu is the khilal (passing of wet fingers) through the beard.
(Sunan Abi Dawud & Sahih Ibn Hibban)

- To be continued..

In the meantime, lets implement these 3⃣ wudu enhancers

Wudu incentives continued...

✅ By keeping these points in mind at Wudu time, we will feel added enjoyment in our Wudu insha Allah.

4⃣ It is mustahabb (preferable) to do masah (wipe with wet fingers) on the nape. One who makes masah on the nape will be saved from severe thirst and from being shackled on the day of Qiyamah.

(see authentication of supporting narrations in: I’la-us sunan. vol.1 pg.123)

5⃣ The sins committed by the limbs that are being washed in wudu are also washed away.
(Sahih Muslim, Hadith:576)

6⃣ Rasulullah ﷺ has informed the ummah that they will be distinguished from the rest of mankind by the shine of the limbs of wudu. He ﷺ therefore encouraged:

“Those who can increase the shine should do so.”
i.e. By washing extra.

(Sahih Bukahri, Hadith:136)

Sayyidiuna Abu Hurairah (radiyallahuánhu) would actually wash up to his armpits and shins because of this Hadith.

(Sahih Muslim Hadith:578)

Some Fuqaha (Jurists) have stated that it is mustahabb (meritorious) to at least do so up to half way between the elbows and armpits and up to half the shin. This will not be considered as israf (wastage) of water.

(Tahtawi álad durr, vol.1 pg.76, Shami, vol.1 pg.130)

Wudu incentives

continued...

By keeping these points in mind at Wudu time, we will feel added enjoyment in our Wudu insha Allah.

7⃣ The angels ask Allah ﷻ‎ to forgive and have mercy on the one who remains in his/her place of salah with wudu after completing the salah, until the wudu is broken.

(Sahih Bukhari, Hadith:445 & Sahih Muslim, Hadith:1507)

8⃣ Despite having wudu it is mustahabb (preferable) to renew the wudu for every Salah. ✅

(Sunan Tirmizhi, hadith:58-59 & Faidhul Qadir, Hadith:8607)

NB: This only applies to the one who has offered salah or any other act of worship with the previous wudu. (Shami vol.1 pg.119)

9⃣ One should try to be in the state of wudu all the time. He who passes away in the state of wudu dies as a Shaheed (Martyr).

(Majmaúz zawaid, vol.1 pg. 271 & Fathul malikil áliy, pg.35)

The greatest incentive of wudu is that it is the key to salah and salah is the key to Jannah.

(Musnad Ahmad Hadith 14597)

Imagine the reward of the one who implements these incentives daily, five times each day?

Now consider the extent of the reward if one teaches this to others…✅

﷽

Virtues of sleeping with Wudu

There are many incentives for practicing this sunnah. Hereunder are a few which state that one who sleeps with Wudu will receive:
1⃣ The du'a of the Angels.
2⃣ His soul will make sajdah under the 'Arsh (Throne) of Allah ﷻ‎.
3⃣ He will receive the reward of engaging in salah & dhikr the entire night.

See the details below.

From the Hadith:

Sayyiduna Ibn ‘Abbas (radiyallahu’anhumu) reported that Nabi ﷺ said:
'Purify these bodies and Allah will purify you, for there is no slave who goes to sleep in a state of purity but an Angel spends the night with him. Every time he turns over, [the Angel] says, ‘O Allah! Forgive Your slave, for he went to bed in a state of purity.'
(Al-Mu’jamul Awsat of Tabarani, Hadith: 5087 with a good (jayyid) chain. Refer: Targhib, 1/409 &Al-Matjarur Rabih, Hadith: 353)

From the statements of the Sahabah (radiyallahu'anhum):

Sayyiduna Abud Darda (radiyallahu’anhu) has said:
'When a person sleeps, his soul (ruh) rises to the throne (Arsh) of Allah. If he slept with wudu, the soul is permitted to make sajdah (by the Arsh of Allah). If he slept in the state of impurity, permission for sajdah is refused.'
(Kitabuz Zud of Ibnul Mubarak, Hadith:1245)

A similar virtue is reported from Sayyiduna ‘Abdullah ibn ‘Amr ibnul ‘As (radiyallahu’anhuma) in Shu’abul Iman, Hadith: 2527
Also see: Fathul Bari, Hadith: 1149

From the Pious Tabi'un (those after the Sahabah)

Imam Abu Murayah Al ‘Ijli (rahimahullah) said:
'Whoever retires to bed in the state of wudu and falls off to sleep while engaging in the dhikr of Allah Ta’ala, his bed will be regarded as a Masjid. He will receive the reward of being in Salah and dhikr until he awakens.'
(Musannaf ‘Abdur Razzaq, Hadith: 19837. Refer: Fathul Bari, Hadith: 6311)

Lets take advantage of these super benefits of sleeping with Wudu. A simple, yet so beneficial deed.

In so doing, we won't lose as we snooze!

La malja -a wala manja-minka illa ilayk
Amantu bi kitabikal ladhy anzalta wa bi nabiyyikal ladhi arsalta

Whoever does the above, & dies in his/her sleep will die upon the sunnah (fitrah).'
(Sahih Bukhari, hadith: 247 & 6315)

From the Sahabah (radiyallahu'anhum):
5⃣ The 'Ulama state that one of the primary reasons for sleeping with wudu is to prepare for death.
Sayyiduna Ibn 'Abbas (radiyallahu'anhu) advised:
'Ensure that you spend the nights in wudu, for the souls will be raised in the condition [of purity] that they were taken in.
(Musannaf 'Abdur Razzaq, see Fathul Bari, hadith: 6312 & 'Umdatul Qari, hadith: 247)

﷽

Haj without a visa!

Since Hajj is among the most virtuous deeds in Islam, & not everyone can afford it (especially on a continuous basis) Allah Ta’ala has attached the reward of optional Hajj to certain other deeds for the benefit of all.

Hereunder is a collection of such deeds.

It should be noted that these deeds are labelled as being more virtuous than nafl (optional) hajj, & not the fard (obligatory) hajj.

Wudu at home before proceeding for Salah with Jama'ah.
Salatul Ishraq.
Going to the Masjid to acquire or impart Knowledge.
Umrah in Ramadan.
To recite “Subhanallah” 100 times in the morning and evening.
Serving one’s Parents.

All of the above have been derived from the Hadiths of Nabi ﷺ.

Hafiz Ibn Rajab Al-Hambali (rahimahullah) has quoted the following deeds that yield the reward of Hajj from various Predecessors (i.e, not necessarily from the Hadith).

Attending the Jumu’ah Salah.
Attending the Eid Salah.
Esha Salah in Congregation.
The fulfillment of all obligations (fard deeds) is better than Nafl Haj.✅
Abstinence from the haram (forbidden) acts are also more virtuous than Nafl Hajj etc.❗
Any act of Good during the first 10 days of Dhul Hijjah.⏳

The following is an addition to what Hafiz Ibn Rajab (rahimahullah) has cited:

Spending on a student of Islamic Knowledge.
(Ma’alim Irshadiyyah of Shaykh Muhammad ‘Awwamah, pg.35)

Notes:

✏The promises of gaining the same reward as Hajj that are mentioned above, are restricted to the reward only. It does not mean that one upon whom Hajj is obligatory can merely suffice on these deeds.

✏The purpose here is not to discourage one from the actual Hajj. (That is why it is being circulated now, when the Hajis have already begun to depart) Like they say: There’s nothing like the real thing..

May Allah ﷻ‎ grant us all the tawfeeq (ability) to practice on the above, as well as afford us the opportunity to perform the real Hajj repeatedly. Ameen.

﷽

Sayyiduna Abu Hurayrah was not a forger!

Question

There are people who doubt the high number of Ahadith that Abu Hurayrah (radhiyallahu ‘anhu) reported.
Some even accuse him of forgery!
Please answer this objection.

Answer

This claim is absolutely untrue and a grave accusation against the Ummat's foremost Hadith Master; Sayyiduna Abu Hurayrah (radiyallahu'anhu)❗

Some experts have managed to find almost every Hadith that he reported to have also been reported by other Sahabah (radiyallahu'anhum).
This effectively means that none of the Hadiths that Abu Hurayrah (radiyallahu'anhu) reported were made up.
They were all backed up by other Sahabah.

My Honourable Teacher; Al-Muhaddith Shaykh Muhammad ‘Awwamah (may Allah Ta’ala protect him) once mentioned that the renowned Shaykh Muhammad Muntasir Al-Kattani (rahimahullah) conducted a study in to the Hadiths of Sayyiduna Abu Hurayrah (radiyallahu’anhu) that appear in Musnad Ahmad – which is among the biggest collections of Sayyiduna Abu Hurayrah’s Hadiths today-.

He found that all of them were corroborated by reports of other Sahabah (radiyallahu’anhum) besides three or four.

This sufficiently rebuts the flimsy allegation that Sayyiduna Abu Hurayrah (radiyallahu’anhu) had made up Hadiths just to gain popularity.

✅ In one Narration of Sahih Bukhari, Sayyiduna Abu Hurayrah (radiyallahu’anhu) even says that there are several more Hadiths that he hadn’t quoted [for fear of them being misunderstood or misused]. If his concern was popularity, he wouldn’t have hesitated to add to the numbers of his Hadiths, irrespective of the fear of being misunderstood….

May Allah ﷻ‎ save us from such foul accusations against those who were chosen by Allah ﷻ‎ for the companionship of Rasulullah ﷺ.

One should remain vigilant against such drivel❗

Note: I subsequently asked my Beloved Shaykh ‘Awwamah (may Allah protect him) if this study was ever printed. He replied in the negative.

And Allah ﷻ Knows best,

﷽

Proof for not removing hair, nails etc for the first 10 days of Dhul Hijjah

Question

A Muslim doing Qurbani should not clip his nails or remove hair from the beginning of Dhul Hijjah, is this correct?
Please provide the proof from Hadith for this.❓

Answer

Sayyidatuna Ummu Salamah (radiyallahu ‘anha) reports that Nabi ﷺ said:

When Dhul Hijjah begins and a person intends to make udhiyah (slaughter on Eid day), then he should not remove hair nor clip his nails.
(Sahih Muslim, Hadith: 5090)

✅ Based on the above Hadith, the Hanafi Jurists say that it is mustahab (preferable) for a person intending to do udhiyah, not to remove hair or clip his nails from the beginning of Dhul Hijjah until after his animal is slaughtered.

⚠ Note 1: This should not be considered binding.Therefore those who do not practice on the above are not to blame.

⚠ Note 2: Those who choose to practise on this should only remove their hair etc after their animal is slaughtered & not before that.

⚠ Note 3: If one hasn’t cut his nails or removed body hair for up to forty days, and by practicing on the above, he will be exceeding the forty day limit, he should not delay.
In this case, he is instructed to rather remove the hair/nails etc instead of waiting till after slaughter. This is because Shari’ah instructs us to remove unwanted hair/nails once every forty days.
(Refer: Badhlul Majhud, under Hadith: 2791)

And Allah Ta’ala knows best.

❗This year (2016) in most countries, Dhul Hijjah shall commence at Maghrib on Friday 2 September.

10 Points on the day of 'Arafah

The day of ‘Arafah is the most important day for a Haji. Whilst only a select few of the Ummah are chosen by Allah ﷻ‎ to physically be on the plains of ‘Arafat on the 9th of Dhul Hijjah, there are several virtues and deeds mentioned regarding the day of ‘Arafah which apply to those afar as well. Hereunder are ten of them:

The Virtue of the Day
1. The day of ‘Arafah is one of the best days of the year,
Sayyidna Anas (radiyallahu ‘anhu) says:
“The day of ‘Arafah equals 10 000 days in virtue”!

“On the day of Arafah, Allah frees from jahannam even those who are not physically in Arafah. Therefore the next day is Eid for all.”
The Day of ‘Arafah has also been labelled as “Yawmul Eid” by Sayyiduna ‘Umar (radiyallahu ‘anhu) as its the day in which Allah Ta’ala announced the perfection of Islam.

Deeds for this Day
4. DO on the Day of ‘Arafah:
✅1. Fast
✅2. Recite kalimah shahadah a lot
✅3. Excessive Du’a
✅4. Sadaqah

❌DON’T:
❌Persist on Sin (i.e, rather make tawbah -repent- from all sins)

❌ Be arrogant

These 2 types of people are deprived on this blessed day.

Dhikr on the Day of ‘Arafah
Rasulullah ﷺ would recite the following abundantly on the day of Arafah:

“لاإلٰه إلا الله وحده لا شريك له، له الملك وله الحمد بيده الخير وهو على كل شئ قدير“

La ilaha illallahu wahdahu la sharika lahu lahul mulku walahul hamdu biyadihil khayru wahuwa ‘ala kuli shayin qadir

Sayyiduna ‘Ali’s (radiyallahu ‘anhu) dua on the Day of ‘Arafah

اللهم أعتق رقبتي من النار، وأَوسِعْ لِيْ مِنَ الرّزقِ الحلال، وَاصْرِفْ عني فَسَقة الجن والإنس

Allahumma a’tiq raqabati minan nar wa awsi’li minar rizqil halal, wasrif ‘anni fasaqatil jinni wal ins

Translation: O Allah! Free me from the fire, increase my lawful sustenance, and keep away the transgressive Jin and humans from me.

“Fasting on the day of Arafah will expiate the sins of the past and future year.”
Rasulullah ﷺ said:
“He who protects his ears, eyes and tongue on this day (Day of ‘Arafah) will be forgiven”

Shaytan’s Humiliation
10. The day of ‘Arafah is the day when Shaytan is most humiliated (due to Allah’s extensive forgiveness)

Conclusion
All of the above will have real significance to us if we implement it and not just share it.

May Allah ﷻ‎ grant us all the tawfiq (ability) to practice on all the above and may He bless us with repeated opportunities of physically being on the plains of ‘Arafat.

Du'a when slaughtering

Sayyiduna Jabir (radiyallahu ‘anhu) reports that when Rasulullah ﷺ made the animal he was slaughtering face the qiblah, he recited the following du’a and then slaughtered the animal:

إِنِّي وَجَّهْتُ وَجْهِيَ لِلَّذِي فَطَرَ السَّمَوَاتِ وَالأَرْضَ عَلَى مِلَّةِ إِبْرَاهِيم حَنِيفًا وَمَا أَنَا مِنَ الْمُشْرِكِينَ إِنَّ صَلاَتِي وَنُسُكِي وَمَحْيَاىَ وَمَمَاتِي لِلَّهِ رَبِّ الْعَالَمِينَ لاَ شَرِيكَ لَهُ وَبِذَلِكَ أُمِرْتُ وَأَنَا مِنَ الْمُسْلِمِينَ اللَّهُمَّ مِنْكَ وَلَكَ عَنْ مُحَمَّدٍ وَأُمَّتِهِ بِاسْمِ اللَّهِ وَاللَّهُ أَكْبَرُ ‏

Inni Wajjahtu Wajhiya lilladhi fataras samawati wal arda, ‘ala millati Ibrahima hanifaw wa ma ana minal mushrikin. Inna Salati wa nusuki wa mahyaya wa mamati lillahi Rabbil ‘Alamin. La sharika lahu wa bidhalika umirtu wa ana minal Muslimin. Allahumma minka wa laka ‘an Muhammadin wa ummatih, Bismillah wallahu akbar

(Sunan Abi Dawud, Hadith: 2788, & others.
Declared authentic by Imams Ibn Khuzaymah,Hakim & Dhahabi)

Notes:

1) The du’a has been reported with variation in the wordings. I have cited the version recorded in Sunan Abi Dawud.

2) The text in bold, translates as ‘from Muhammad and his Ummah’. One may use one's own name instead.

And Allah Ta’ala Knows best

Before retweeting, re-sharing, broadcasting etc check the authenticity

Unfortunately, in our era, people hardly ever bother to verify the information they receive or pass on. This has fatal consequences. We shouldn’t be so naive as to accept everything that is thrown at us, unless the sender is a reliable authority in the field that pertains to that piece of information…

We most definitely need to check the status of whatever we are reading, be that in a book, on a screen or on social media. This applies to information of any kind...

The Social Media Pitfall
Social media has undoubtedly put a world of information literally at people’s fingertips. In addition to its benefits, mass-misinformation is just one of its many pitfalls.

Many of us are gullible, and believe whatever we read.
Some of us merely see the sender, and suffice with that. As if to mean that the one who sent it is the original source!

The sender probably also thought the same when he/she received it…

The ‘Copy & Paste’ trend
It’s no secret that people ‘copy and paste’ all the time without quoting their original source. This is wrong in itself. You may read a full article on it here:
http://www.al-miftah.com/academic-theft/

Just one evil outcome of the 'copy and paste’ trend is that by the time it reaches the third or fourth hand, the original source is forgotten, thus removing real credibility from that statement. That is if the source is really credible. But how would we know that?

❗That message could just be some bogus drivel…

Therefore, we are cautioned: ❌ Do not believe everything you read!!

That really seems difficult in our era, especially since many are in the habit of having conviction on whatever is thrown at them! May Allah Ta’ala grant us the true realisation of the above. Ameen.

Spending on one's family on 'Ashura day

Rasulullah ﷺ is authentically reported to have said:
'Whoever expands his spending on his family on the day of ‘Ashura, Allah ﷻ‎ will inflate his sustenance for the rest of that year.'
(Shu'abul Iman & Al-Istidhkar)

⚖ Tried & Tested ⚖
Several narrators of this Hadith have echoed the following testimony:
'We have tried this, & have found it to be accurate.'
(Al-Istidhkar, 10/140)

In fact, one narrator of this Hadith, a great Muhaddith and Faqih, Sufyan ibn ‘Uyaynah (rahimahullah) said:
'I have been doing this for fifty to sixty years and have always seen its benefit.'
(Lataiful Ma’arif, pg.113)

Source and Authenticity
This Hadith has been reported by several Sahabah (radiyallahu ’anhum), among them are the following:
1⃣ Sayyiduna Jabir
2⃣ Sayyiduna Abu Hurayrah
3⃣ Sayyiduna Abu Sa’eed Al-Khudry
4⃣ Sayyiduna ‘Abdullah ibn Mas’ud
5⃣ Sayyiduna ‘Abdullah ibn ‘Umar
6⃣ This has also been reported with a good chain as the statement of Sayyiduna ‘Umar.
(radiyallahu ’anhum)

Authentic
There are several legitimate practices in Islam that have been wrongfully deemed as innovations!
In an era of religious melt-down, we cannot afford such incorrect assertions.‼
One such deed is: Spending on one’s family on the day of ‘Ashura (The 10th of Muharram)

There are approximately ten Hadith Masters that have declared this Hadith as reliable.

‘Allamah Al-‘Iraqi (rahimahullah) has authored a detailed treatise on this Hadith in which he has proven its acceptability beyond a shadow of doubt.

See here for full details:
http://www.al-miftah.com/ashura-spending/

Notes
• This is not restricted to food only.
• One can spend in any form that is deemed most appropriate.
(Al-Hadiyyatul ‘Alaiyyah, pg.311)
• Lastly, this Hadith provides an ideal solution during these times of global financial constraint. Try it & see the difference insha Allah! ✅

﷽

What to do when receiving the 1st Fruit of the Season

Several Sahabah (radiyallahu'anhum) have
reported that when the first fruit of the season used to be brought to Rasulullah ﷺ he would kiss it, touch it to his eyes & recite the following du’a [among others]. He ﷺ would then give that fruit to the smallest child that was in his presence:

اللهُمَّ كَمَا أَرَيْتَنا أَوَّلَه أَرِنا آخِرَه

Allahumma kama araytana awwalahu, arina akhirahu

Translation: O Allah! just as You have shown us the first of it, allow us to see the last of it.

(Abu Dawud in his Kitabul Maraseel, Ibnus Sunni & Tabarani)

‘Allamah Haythami (rahimahullah) has declared the narration of Tabarani as sahih (authentic).

The reason for Rasulullah ﷺ kissing the fruit and touching it to his eyes is because it has been newly created by Allah ﷻ‎. Just as he ﷺ would go out in the rain and open his chest [so the rain may touch him] & he would say: 'Verily it [the raindrops] have only recently arrived from my Rabb !’
☄

Another Lesson
The above also teaches us that: the Sahabah (radiyallahu’anhum) would bring the first produce of their orchards to Rasulullah ﷺ to acquire Barakah
✅ Nowadays some people do -admirably-emulate this in a way, by presenting their first produce to their teachers, seniors, elders of the family etc for Barakah.

﷽

Don't be Robbed of your Good Conduct❗

Shaykh Muhammad 'Awwamah (may Allah protect him) once mentioned a story about his senior teacher, Shaykh 'Abdul Fattah Abu Ghuddah (rahimahullah), which is worth sharing for its profound message and immense inspiration:

➡There was an instigator in Aleppo (may Allah Ta'ala‎ alleviate the suffering therein currently).
This person falsely reported Shaykh 'Abdul Fattah (rahimahullah) to the authorities for which Shaykh (rahimahullah) was imprisoned.

A year later when Shaykh 'Abdul Fattah (rahimahullah) was released, the locals came to visit, congratulate and welcome him at his residence.
Among those that came was the initial trouble maker too. Realising his mistake he probably came to plead for forgiveness. He was however, scared to face Shaykh 'Abdul Fattah.

When people told Shaykh (rahimahullah), he responded, 'Allow him in':

نحن نعامل الناس بأخلاقنا لا بأخلاقهم

'We display our own character to the people, not their's.'

-end of incident.

Subhaanallah!
In other words, despite his disrespect and lack of akhlaq, I will display to him my akhlaq by being better to him.

Moral
People have different standards in their conduct. Don't let their misconduct set your standard!

May Allah Ta'ala inspire us to implement this sublime moral code.
Ameen.

﷽

What to do on Auspicious Nights?

Practicing on the following 10 points won't take more than an hour insha Allah.

Offer the Maghrib, Esha & Fajr Salahs in congregation.
Sleep in the state of wudhu.
Abstain from sin.
Clear your heart from ill-feelings towards fellow Muslims.
Salatut Tasbeeh.
Tilawat (Recital) of Quran.
Salawat on Rasulullah ﷺ
Dhikr.

Du’a.

“Du’a is the essence of Worship” and hence cannot be omitted when we engage in worship.
More so on occasions when Almighty Allah ﷻ‎ accepts duas such as on the night of Qadr. One should spend a lengthy duration in begging from Allah, as we are all in need of it.
In light of the current world crisis, do remember our oppressed brethren around the globe.
On the night of Qadr the following Du’a should also be repeated as taught by Rasulullah ﷺ to his beloved wife Sayyidah ‘Aishah (radiyallahu ‘anha):

اللهم إِنَّكَ عَفُوٌّ تُحِبُّ العَفْوُ فَاعْفُ عَنِّيْ

“Allahumma innaka ‘afuwwun tuhibbul ‘afwa fa’fu ‘Anni”

O Allah! You are indeed Most Forgiving, so forgive me.

Tawbah.

The procedure for Tawbah is:
a. Perform two rak’aats of Salaah. (Optional)
b. Stop the sin that one is repenting from.
c. Regret the sin from the bottom of your heart.
d. Make a determined pledge with Allah ﷻ‎ never to repeat that sin.Besides the two rak’aats of Salah,the remainder are all fundamental.

Furthermore, if the sin involved usurping the right of the next person, one needs to ask him/her for forgiveness too. Without this we are not guaranteed forgiveness.

If that person has passed away, we could make dua for him and repay the debt (if any) to his/her heirs.

However if one is short on time for whatever reason, then the following 5 points are suggested:
a) Esha & Fajr with Jamat
b) Sleep with Wudhu
c) Abstain from sin
d) clean the heart
e) Du'a

Please do remember the writer in your supplication as well.

﷽

When to Discharge the Sadaqatul Fitr? ❔

There are several Hadiths that encourage discharging the sadaqatul fitr before the Eid salah. Imam Bukhari (rahimahullah) has included the following chapter in his famous book; Sahih Bukhari:

'The chapter of [discharging] the sadaqah before Eid.'

The following Hadith appears under this chapter:

Sayyiduna 'Abdullah ibn 'Umar (radiyallahu 'anhuma) reports that Rasulullah ﷺ instructed that the sadaqatul fitr (fitrah) be given [to the poor] before the people go out to the Eid salah.'

(Sahih Bukhari, Hadith: 1509)

Based on the above, the 'Ulama have ruled that it is better (mustahab) to pass the fitrah to the poor and needy before the Eid salah. ✅

A Misconception ⚠

However, there is a misconception among the people that by them putting their fitrah into the collection boxes which are in the masajid etc before Eid, they have discharged their fitrah on time!

This is an incorrect notion. ❌

What is required (mustahabb) is that the Fitrah reaches the poor before the Eid salah.

Practice of the Sahabah (radiyallahu 'anhum)

In the time of the Sahabah (radiyallahu 'anhum) the collection of the fitrah would take place a few days before Eid.
(Sahih Bukhari, Hadith: 1511)

This was obviously done so that the collectors had time to pass on the fitrah to the needy in time, before the Eid salah.

We too can implement this system insha Allah by ensuring that we either give our fitrah directly to the poor before Eid salah, or by placing it into the tins/boxes a few days early. ⏰

The collecting organisations can then arrange for these tins to be collected on 28 Ramadan for example.

The imams of the masajid can also educate their congregations in this regard.

This will avail the different organisations enough time to distribute the fitrah on schedule insha Allah.

The poor will also have a more joyous Eid if they receive the Fitrah on time.

That is the ideal we should be striving for, and with a little bit of attention, this can easily be achieved.

﷽

A Simple Format for Salatut Tasbeeh

On Mubarak (blessed) nights, we are encouraged to offer salatut tasbeeh

One who offers this salah, will have all his/her sins forgiven including the major sins.

Approximate duration for this salah: 25 mins.

There are several methods for offering this salah. One should stick to whichever is easy.

Hereunder is 1 simple format for Salatut Tasbeeh in light of what is mentioned in Sunan Tirmidhi, after hadith: 481:

Make the niyyah: O Allah I intend offering 4 rak'ats salatut tasbeeh for your sake facing the qiblah.

After commencing the salah, recite the thana. Before the surah fatihah, recite the tasbeeh mentioned at the end of this message 15 times.

Thereafter recite the qirat as normal.

At the end of the qirat, before going into ruku' recite the tasbeeh 10 times.

In ruku' [after reciting the normal 'Subhaana Rabbiyal 'Azeem'] recite the tasbeeh below 10 times.

When standing after ruku' [after reciting 'Rabbana lakal Hamd'] recite the tasbeeh 10 times.

In each sajdah [after reciting 'Subhana Rabbiyal A'la] recite the tasbeeh below 10 times.

Between the 2 sajdahs also recite 10 times.

When one rises for the second rak'at [& the rest of the rak'ats] do as mentioned above.

In this manner one would recite this tasbeeh 75 times in each rak'at x4 rak'ats = 300 times in the entire salah.

If one forgets to recite at a particular juncture, it may be added to the next posture.

The tasbeeh to be recited is:
Subhaanallaahi wal Hamdu lillahi walaa ilaaha illallaahu WAllaahu Akbar

﷽

The essence of the 6 fasts of Shawwal

As Ramadan departs, we all are encouraged to extend the momentum by observing the six fasts of Shawwal. These fasts cover up the defects in our Ramadan fasts.

The famous Hadith in Sahih Muslim states:

“Whoever observes the fast of Ramadan and follows it up with six fasts in Shawwal will be rewarded as if he has fasted the entire year”

Commentary

The Hadith masters have explained that since every deed is multiplied ten times, by fasting in Ramadan we are actually rewarded for 300 days and not just the 30 in Ramadan. Therefore if we follow that up with six more we will be rewarded for sixty thereby attaining the reward of fasting for 360 days.

Why in Shawwal?

The general Hadith commentators have said that the reason for Rasulullah ﷺ encouraging us to observes these fasts immediately after Ramadan, is so that a muslim does not delay in accruing this grand reward. ☑

It is also easier for people to fast these six days immediately after Ramadan. ☑

Another Perspective ✅

Hafiz Ibn Rajab Al-Hambali (rahimahullah) has offered the following interesting perspective:

“…the reward of fasting in Shawwal will be linked to the reward of Ramadan, and one who observes the Shawwal fast will receive the reward of observing the fard fast for the whole year.
This is the explanation of Imam ‘Abdullah Ibnul Mubarak (rahimahullah).”
(Lataiful Ma’arif, pg.314-315)

So those who fast the additional six fasts in Shawwal specifically, will actually receive the reward of observing the Fard fast for the entire year!

Through this Allah ﷻ‎ has blessed the ummah by ordaining the fast of 30 days only, but they have the potential to acquire the reward of 360 days of obligatory fast!

The difference in reward for Fard & Nafl deeds

The ‘Ulama state that the reward of a fard act is actually 70 more than the nafl (voluntary) deeds!!

(Sharhun Nawawi 'ala Sahih Muslim, vol.1 pg.324)

Consolation for those who miss the fast in Shawwal

If one missed the six fasts of Shawwal, the reward of fasting the entire year can still be achieved if one fasts the six additional fasts in any other month after Shawwal. Since every act is rewarded tenfold. However, in this case, the six extra fasts will yield the reward of sixty nafl (voluntary) fasts & not the reward of the mandatory (fard) fast.

Further references for the above:
Al-Mufhim, vol.3 pg.238, Mirqat, vol.4 pg.477, & Fathul Mulhim, vol.5 pg.328.

﷽

Treasure every Sunrise!

Sayyiduna ‘Abdullah Ibn Mas’ud (radiyallahu’anhu) would recite the following du'a at sunrise.
Lets ponder over its meaning, take heed and practice.

اَلْحَمْدُ ِلِله الَّذِى اَقَالَنَا يَوْمَنَا هَذَا وَلَم يُهْلِكْنَا بِذُنُوْبِنَا

Allahumdulillahil ladhi aqalana yawmana hadha wa lam yuhlikna bi dhunubina

Translation

All praise is for Allah, who has afforded us this day and did not destroy us for our sins.

(Sahih Muslim, hadith: 1908)

Sayyiduna ibn Mas'ud is the most knowledgable Sahabi after the Four Khulafa (radiyallahu'anhum).

In this supplication, he teaches us to treasure every new day! ☀

✅ One more day, is one more chance to earn Allah's ﷻ‎ pleasure, it's one more chance to repent for our sins.

One who commences his day with this mindset of gratitude to Allah ﷻ‎, will truly value his time & life.
He who is grateful doesn't disobey his Rabb ﷻ‎.

The meaning of this du'a is so profound, it's worthy of being recited/remembered throughout the day too, especially in times of the current global disasters.

May Allah ﷻ‎ protect us all.

﷽

Looking at the Imam during the Friday Khutbah

Question

Is there any hadith about looking at the imam during the Jumu’ah khutbah?

Have any of the Fuqaha written that this practice is sunnah?

Answer

Yes, indeed.

The men in the congregation are encouraged to face the Imam without turning their chests away from the qiblah during the khutbah.

Imam Bukhari (rahimahullah) has named a chapter in his sahih as:

Chapter on the imam facing the congregation, & them facing the imam during the khutbah

✏ Under this chapter he has cited the hadith of Sayyiduna Abu Sa’eed Al-Khudry (radiyallahu’anhu): “Rasulullah ﷺ sat on the minbar one day and we (the Sahabah-radiyallahu’anhum) sat around him.” (i.e, and faced him)

(Sahih Bukhari, hadith: 921)

✏ Imam Bukhari (rahimahullah) supports this by saying: “Sayyiduna ‘Abdullah ibn ‘Umar and Sayyiduna Anas (radiyallahu’anhuma) faced the imam (i.e, during the khutbah)

The view of the Fuqaha

Imam Tirmidhi (rahimahullah) also included a chapter like this in his Sunan.
✏ He writes: “This practice has been preferred by the Sahabah and other ‘Ulama, like Imam Sufyan Thawri, Imam Shafi’i, Imam Ahmad & Imam Is-haq ibn Rahuyah (rahimahumullah).”

Moulana Anwar Shah Kashmiri (rahimahullah) says:
✅ “The sunnah is to face the imam.”

(Faydul Bari, vol.2 pg.337)

Hafiz Ibn Hajar (rahimahullah) – the famous commentator on Sahih Bukhari- says:
✅ “This practice is Mustahab (good) according to the majority of the scholars.”

(Fathul Bari, hadith:921)

Ibnul Mundhir (rahimahullah) said:
✅ “I don’t know of any difference of opinion on this… there is almost consensus on the issue”

✏ The Hanafi commentator of Bukhari; ‘Allamah ‘Aini (rahimahullah) quotes from Al-Mabsut- a classical Hanafi fiqh book-, that Imam Abu Hanifah (rahimahullah) would sit in the row (saff) and after the (second) adhan, he would turn his head to face the imam. i.e, without turning his entire body.
(‘Umdatul Qari, hadith: 921)

Note: If one cannot turn his head towards the imam without turning his chest away from the qiblah, then such a person should rather face the qiblah, instead of disrupting the straight row –saff

(Ma’arifus sunan, vol.4 pg.364)

And Allah Ta’ala Knows best,

Suggested du'a for driving in slippery conditions

'Allamah Sakhawi (rahimahullah) has quoted a Scholar from the past to have suggested the following du'a for protection against ones conveyance skidding/slipping:

إنَّ اللهَ يُمْسِكُ السَّماواتِ وَالأَرْضَ أَنْ تَزُولا

InnAllaha yumsikus samawati wal arda an tazula

﷽

Use for the useless

As the seasons change and with the passage of time, one feels the need to acquire new clothing. At times, when new garments arrive, the old ones tend to find a place in the corner of the wardrobe /closet, never to be worn again.

Have we ever reflected over the agony of that person who has to endure the icy wind of winter, while we have a wide range of warm clothing lying unused?

When one adopts the Sunnah of Rasulullah ﷺ, then even those ‘useless’ old clothes become ‘useful’. ✅

What to do when we acquire new clothes?

Upon receiving new clothes, Rasulullah ﷺ would donate his old clothes and say, ‘whoever adorns new cloths, recites the following du’a and thereafter donates his old clothing to a poor Muslim, remains in the protection, patronage and Divine veil of Allah ﷻ‎ throughout his life as well as after his demise. As long as even one thread (of the donated clothing) remains on somebody’s body.'

That dua is:

الحَمْدُ ِللهِ الَّذِي كَسانِي ما أُوارِي بِه عوَرِتيْ واتجَمَّلُ به في حَياتِي

Alhamdulillahil ladhi kasani ma uwari bihi ‘awrati wa atajammalu bihi fi hayati

(Sunan Tirmidhi, Hadith: 3560, Al Mustadrak, vol.4, pg.193)

Additional value

The rewards stated above are obtained when the destitute merely dons those garments. The reward will definitely multiply if he/she were to wear those clothes whilst offering salah, observing the fast or any other virtuous deed...

Our duty to those around us

Furthermore, as a Muslim minority, this also affords us the opportunity to extend the warmth of Islam to the indigenous population of our country. Imagine the reward one could acquire, if through this simple deed somebody embraces Islam.

If this is the reward for donating old clothes, what would be in store for one who donates new clothing?

Millions in seconds!! ⏳

Many of us frequently find ourselves in the shopping areas.
The following Hadith is worth noting whenever we are there:

Rasulullah ﷺ said:
'Whoever recites the following du’a in the bazaar/shopping area/malls etc, will receive a million rewards, one million of his sins shall be forgiven, his rank will be raised by a million stages and (in some narrations) he will receive a palace in Jannah.'

لا إِلٰه إلا اللُه وَحدَه لا شَريكَ لَه، له المُلْكُ وله الحَمْدُ، يُحْيِي وَيُمِيتُ، وَهو حَيٌّ لا يَمُوتُ بِيَدِه الخَيْرُ، وَهُوَ عَلٰى كُلّ شَيْءٍ قَدير

La ilaha illallahu wahdahu la sharika lahu, lahul mulku wa lahul hamdu yuhyi wa yumitu wahuwa hayyun la yamutu biyadihil khayru wahuwa ‘ala kulli shay in qadir

References:
Sunan Tirmidhi: 3428-3429, Kitabu Du'a of Tabarani: 789-793, Mustadrak Hakim, 1/538-539 & Al-Mukhtarah: 186-188.
Also see: Sharhul Ihya, 5/511.

This Hadith has been authenticated by the following Imams:
Imam Hakim, 'Allamah Mundhiri & 'Allamah Dimyati (rahimahumullah).

Some of the narrators of this Hadith would intentionally go to the bazaar to merely recite this du'a and acquire its rewards. ⚖
(Sharhul Ihya, 5/511)

Let us also practise this and guarantee our millions by Allah

💎 V.I.P. Status for the Ideal Businessman 🎁
﷽

Morals 👌🏽
1⃣ This trader will be among the great martyrs and saints of Allah Ta'ala who were such that, in every word and deed, they were most truthful. These pure beings (the Ambiya etc) are those who had made the object of their life the obedience of Allah Ta'ala.
✅The Ideal businessman will receive this kind of a V.I.P. Status!
2⃣ However, this does not mean that they will be granted the same rank and position as the Prophets & Saints. Rather it denotes a special kind of honour like that which is normally attained through continuously being in the company of the pious.
3⃣ To be in the company of the Ambiya, especially Rasulullah (sallallahu 'alayhi wa sallam) is indeed a tremendous honour. Just to be in his proximity and to be able to look at his noble and radiant countenance is in itself an exceptional honour.
This is what our beloved Nabi (sallallahu’alayhi wasallam) has promised us.
Hence all Muslims should definitely strive to become worthy recipients of this sacred position.
May Allah Ta’ala bless us all with this ultimate bounty

👌🏽 The Power & Benefit of Sadaqah ⭐
﷽

📚 Commentary
1⃣Unnecessary talks and oaths are undesirable. Therefore give sadaqah as a recompense for these unintentional utterances, which often occur in the marketplace.
2⃣It will also remove the pollution which may have entered the heart through such misdeeds.
Sadaqah in this Hadith, refers to voluntary, nafl charity, not Zakat.
3⃣Sadaqah is often recommend even after a good deed, to make up for our shortcomings therein. Like is the case with Fitra/Sadatul Fitr after observing the fast of Ramadan.
4⃣Simirlarly, Sadaqah also removes the ill-effects of sin.
The above should not be taken as an excuse for misconduct, thinking it can be atoned for with sadaqah later. Premeditated sins are detrimental.

The Harms of Haram❗
﷽

Rasulullah ﷺ said:
"The flesh that is nourished with Haraam earnings will never enter Jannah. And for such flesh, Jahannam is the rightful place."
(Musnad Ahmad, 14441)

Commentary🗝
1⃣ This means that he who consumes Haraam will never enter Jannah without first having being punished [unless he repents before death].

2⃣ However, this does not mean that such a person will, like the disbelievers, never enter Jannah.

3⃣ If a person dies on Islam whilst having consumed Haraam, he will first be punished in Jahannam for his sins and thereafter enter Jannah.

4⃣ If he repents before death and fulfilled the rightful dues owed, then Allah Ta'ala will forgive this sin and hopefully he shall be saved from the punishment that is mentioned in the Hadith.

Lets clear ourselves in this world & repent before death. Allah Ta’ala is always ready to forgive.

One who blatantly takes false oaths in business deals, should ponder over the following:

2. Taking a false oath is a form of extreme disrespect towards Allah Ta’ala.
