THERE IS NO REFUGE BESIDES ALLĀH

ALLĀH says,

وَلَن تَجِدَ مِن دُونِهِ مُلْتَحَدًا
And never will you find in other than HIM a refuge.

That is, you will never find any other than your Lord to whom you may turn. Once it has become clear that HE is the only One to turn to in all one’s affairs, this indicates that there is no other option but to worship HIM alone and pray to HIM at times of ease and of hardship, for HE is the only One Who is needed in all situations and the only One to be asked for all one’s needs.

{Tafsi‌r As-Sa'di}

The Prophet (ﷺ) said: "When you ask, ask ALLĀH, and when you seek aid, seek ALLĀH's aid. Know that if the entire creation were to gather together to do something to benefit you- you would never get any benefit except that ALLĀH had written for you. And if they were to gather to do something to harm you- you would never be harmed except that ALLĀH had written for you." {At-Tirmidhi #2516}

SUNNAH FASTS IN SHAWWĀL

SUGGESTED 6 DAYS PLAN TO FAST

The Prophet ﷺ said: “Whoever fasts Ramadan and follows it with six days of Shawwal, it will be as if he fasted for a lifetime.” {Muslim}

Abu Dharr said: The Messenger of ALLĀH ﷺ said to me: "If you fast any part of the month, then fast the 13th, 14th, and 15th." {An-Nasai #2424}

Strive, Brothers and Sisters! Action so small, yet, reward soooooooo big. Six days in Shawwāl only, added onto 29 days of Ramadān and the reward of a year's fasting is promised. SubḥānAllāh!

May ALLAAH make it easy for everyone. Aamīn!

Those who believed and used to fear ALLĀH.

For them are glad tidings in the life of this world and in the hereafter; there can be no change in the words (promises) of ALLĀH. This is indeed the supreme success.

BENEFIT 05: REGARDING DOWRY (MAHR)

It has been established that if the dowry (mahr) is specified and stipulated in the marriage contract, and he (the husband) divorces her (the wife) before consummation, she is entitled to half of the dowry. However, if the dowry is not mentioned in the contract but is later agreed upon either by mutual consent or through a judicial decision, does she then deserve half of the agreed (specified) dowry after the contract or not?

The Hanafis said: The dowry specified after the contract is not subject to halving, as the halving is exclusive to the dowry stipulated in the contract, according to the explicit text of the Qur'ān. The woman ˹in this case˺ is only entitled to a consolation gift (mut'ah).

The majority of scholars said: The dowry specified after the contract is subject to halving just like the one stipulated in the contract. This is the correct opinion because the statement of ALLĀH, "Then ˹give her˺ half of what you specified” includes every dowry in a valid marriage, whether specified in the contract or afterward. HE, the Almighty, did not say, "half of what you specified in the contract itself"... If that was intended, HE would have clarified it and not left it ambiguous... (End of quote) (¹)

قال الحنفية : لا ينتصف المفروض بعد العقد، لاختصاص التنصيف بالمفروض في العقد بنص القرآن، وإنما تجب للمرأة المتعة فقط.

وقال الجمهور: ينتصف المفروض بعد العقد كالمسمى في العقد، وهو الصحيح لأن قوله تعالى: {فَنِصْفُ مَا فَرَضْتُمْ} عموم لكل صداق في نكاح صحيح فرضه الناكح في العقد أو بعده، ولم يقل عز وجل : فنصف ما فرضتم في نفس العقد، ... ولو أراد ذلك لبينه لنا ولم يهمله . . . » اهـ (1) .

🌙 THE SIX VOLUNTARY FASTS OF THE MONTH OF SHAWWĀL

Abu Ayyūb (may ALLĀH be pleased with him) relates that the Prophet (ﷺ) said: “Whoever fasts Ramadaan and follows it with six days of Shawwaal, it will be as if he fasted for a lifetime." {Muslim}

He (ﷺ) explained this when he said: “Whoever fasts for six days after (Eid) al-Fitr has completed the year:  “ALLĀH has made for each hasanah ten like it, so a month is like fasting ten months, and fasting six days completes the year.” {Sahih al-Targhib wa’l-Tarhib (1/421)}

The rewards of the month of Ramadān are equal to that of ten months, and that of these six voluntary fasts are equal to that of the remaining two months to complete the full year. These fasts could be kept continuously after Eid or separately during the month of Shawwāl.

May ALLĀH grant us the strength and guidance to remain committed to our fast, Salah, recitation of the Qur'an and other righteous deeds after Ramadān. Aamīn

THE SIX FAST OF SHAWWAL

Abu Ayyub (may ALLĀH be pleased with him) reported:

The Messenger of ALLĀH (ﷺ) said, "He who observes fast in the month of Ramadān, and also observes fast for six days in the month of Shawwal, it is as if he has observed fast for the whole year.'' {Muslim}

{Riyādhus-Saliḥīn: Book 9, Chapter 228, Hadith 1254}

Hafiz Salahudeen Yusuf commented: "According to the formula that there is at least ten-fold reward for every virtue, the fast of one month (Ramadān) are equivalent to fast of ten months. If one also observes six days of fast of Shawwal, they will be equal to fast of two months. Thus, one becomes eligible for the reward of one full years' Saum. He who makes it a permanent feature is like one who observes Saum throughout his life. He will be considered by ALLĀH as one who observes fast permanently.

Although voluntary in nature, they are highly important. One can observe these six-day Saum at a stretch or with intervals, but their observance one after the other at the beginning of the month is better.

Similarly, if a person has missed some fast of Ramadān due to illness, travelling etc., he should first make up the shortfall and then observe the voluntary six-day fast of Shawwal."

📖 Sharḥ Riyādhus-Saliḥīn

GUIDANCE FROM THE HADITH:

1⃣. A good deed is rewarded with ten times as much. So, the fasting of Ramadān is equal to ten months. The six days in Shawwal equal sixty days, namely two months. This adds up to a whole year.

2⃣. It states the promised reward for those who fast the entire Ramadān along with six days in Shawwal even if the six days were not in succession.

🌙 ZAKĀT-UL-FITR

Fitr means to break fast or to refrain from fasting. Hence the Eid after the fasts of Ramadān is called Eid-ul-Fitr, as it is the day of rejoicing after the completion of fasting. On this occasion of happiness, as a sign of gratitude, one has to give a specific amount of food in alms, which is called Zakāt-ul-Fitr. To purify and obtain complete blessings for the fasts of Ramadān one has to give Zakāt al-fitr.

It was reported by Ibn Abbās (may ALLĀH be pleased with them) that the Prophet ﷺ made Zakāt-ul-fitr compulsory so that those who fasted may be purified of their idle deeds and shameful talk (committed during Ramadān) and so that the poor may be fed. Whoever gives it before the prayer, it is Zakat-ul-Fitr, and whoever gives it after the prayer, it is ordinary charity. {Abū Dawūd #1609}

Zakāt-ul-Fitr becomes obligatory on every Muslim, male or female, adult or child, at the end of Ramadān as long as he/she has the means to do so, even those who have not fasted during the month of Ramadān for any valid reason.

Ibn ‘Umar (may ALLĀH be pleased with them) said: “The Messenger of ALLĀH ﷺ made giving a saa’ of dates or a saa’ of barley as Zakāt-ul-Fitr an obligation for all Muslims, slave and free, male and female, young and old, and ordered that it should be given before the people went out to pray (Salāt-ul-Eid).” {Al-Bukhari #1503 and Muslim #984}

It is permissible to pay it one or two days before that, because of the report narrated by Ibn 'Umar (may ALLĀH be pleased with them) who said: "The Messenger of ALLĀH (ﷺ) enjoined sadaqat al-fitr in Ramadan."

According to another report, they used to pay it one or two days before the end of Ramadān.

Whoever delays it after its time has sinned, and he has to repent for delaying and give it to the poor.

The scholars of the Standing Committee for Issuing Fatwas (al-Lajnah ad-Dā'imah li'l-Ifta, 9/386) were asked: What is the ruling on someone who was able to give zakat al-fitr but did not?

They replied: "The one who did not give zakat al-fitr must repent to ALLĀH, may HE be glorified and exalted, and ask HIM for forgiveness, because he has sinned by withholding it. He must also give it to those who are entitled to it, although after the Eid prayer it is regarded as ordinary charity."

It should noted that a saa' is approximately equivalent to three kilograms. It is acceptable to give a saa' of the local staple food such as wheat, corn, rice, beans, lentils, chickpeas, foul (fava beans), pasta, meat and so on. etc.

Shaykh Ibn ‘Uthaymīn (may ALLĀH have mercy on him) said: "The correct view is that anything that may be a staple food, whether it is grains, fruit, meat and so on, is acceptable." {Ash-Sharh al-Mumti' (6/183)}

THE REASONS FOR GIVING ZAKĀT-UL-FITR

1⃣. To give Zakāt-ul-Fitr in lieu of the acceptance of one’s fasting.

2⃣. To thank ALLĀH for bestowing on us the strength to fast during the month of Ramadān.

3⃣. To purify one’s fast and obtain the complete blessings of fasting.

4⃣. To celebrate the completion of fasting.

5⃣. To demonstrate the greatness of the day of Eid.

6⃣. To assist the poor in joining the atmosphere of Eid.

ESSENTIALS OF SALVATION ARE PILLARS OF ISLAM

Abu Huraira, may Allāh be pleased with him, reported: A bedouin came to the Messenger of Allāh, peace and blessings be upon him, and he said, "O Messenger of Allāh, show me a deed by which I may enter Paradise."

The Prophet said, "Worship Allāh and never associate anything with Him, establish the prescribed prayers, give the obligatory charity, and fast of the month of Ramadān."

The man said, "By Him in whose hand is my soul, I will never add anything to it, nor will I lessen anything from it."

When the man turned his back, the Prophet said, "Whoever is pleased to see a man from the people of Paradise, let him look at this one."

THE COMMAND TO KEEP ONESELF CHASTE IF ONE IS NOT ABLE TO GET MARRIED

ALLĀH's saying

وَلْيَسْتَعْفِفِ الَّذِينَ لَا يَجِدُونَ نِكَاحًا حَتَّى يُغْنِيَهُمْ اللَّهُ مِن فَضْلِهِ
And let those who do not have the means to marry keep themselves chaste until ALLĀH enriches them out of HIS bounty.

This ruling applies to the one who is unable to get married. ALLĀH instructs him to keep himself chaste, refrain from that which is prohibited and to take measures to restrain himself and prevent thoughts crossing his mind that may prompt him to fall into sin. He should also do what the Prophet (ﷺ) instructed, as he said: "O young men, whoever among you can afford it, let him get married, and whoever cannot, let him fast, for it will be a shield for him." (Muslim)

And let those who do not have the means to marry...

That is, they are not able to get married, either because they themselves are poor or because their guardians and masters are poor, or because the latter refused to arrange marriages for them, and they do not have the means to force them to do that. This interpretation is better than the interpretation of those who understood it to refer to those who cannot afford the mahr (dowry) for marriage. There are two reservations about the latter interpretation:

1 - The word mahr is not mentioned in this verse, so we should not assume that this is what is meant.

2- Introducing the idea of the mahr would restrict the meaning to free people who can or cannot afford it, and would exclude male and female slaves and those whose marriage is the responsibility of their guardians, as we have mentioned above.

...keep themselves chaste until ALLĀH enriches them out of HIS bounty.

This is a promise to the one who keeps himself chaste that ALLĀH will suffice him and make things easy for him; he is instructed to await relief so that his situation will not become unbearable.

GLAD TIDINGS TO THE HUMBLE AND THEIR CHARACTERISTICS

ALLĀH says,

وَبَشِّرِ
And give good tidings

in this world and the hereafter

ٱلۡمُخۡبِتِينَ
to the humble

That is, those who humble themselves before their Lord and submit to HIS command, and are humble towards HIS slaves.

Then ALLĀH describes the characteristics of the humble:

الَّذِينَ إِذَا ذُكِرَ اللَّهُ وَجِلَتْ قُلُوبُهُمْ
those whose hearts are filled with awe when ALLĀH is mentioned,

That is, their hearts are filled with fear and veneration, and for that reason they refrain from that which is forbidden, because of their fear and awe of ALLĀH alone.

وَالصَّابِرِينَ عَلَى مَا أَصَابَهُمْ
who endure with patience whatever befalls them

of hardship, sickness or other kinds of harm. They do not become discontent with any of that; rather they bear it with patience for the sake of their Lord, seeking HIS reward and hoping for it.

وَالْمُقِيمِي الصَّلَاةِ
and who perform the Salah,

That is, those who establish it properly and perfectly, by doing that which is obligatory and that which is recommended, with complete submission and servitude, both outward and inward.

وَمِمَّا رَزَقْنَاهُمْ يُنفِقُونَ
and spend out of what WE have provided for them.

This includes all kinds of obligatory expenditure, such as zakah, expiation, spending on wives, dependents and relatives, as well as recommended kinds of spending such as charity of all kinds.

It says "out of what" so as to highlight that it is only some of it, so as to indicate how easy the commands of ALLĀH are, and to encourage people to do that, because it is only a small part of that which ALLĀH has provided. The individual could not have obtained it, were it not that ALLĀH made it easy for him and provided it to him. This command is addressed to one who has received provision from the bounty of ALLĀH: spend out of what ALLĀH has provided for you, and ALLĀH will spend on you and give you more.

THE COMMAND TO AVOID SIN OPENLY AND SECRETLY

ALLĀH says,

وَذَرُواْ ظَاهِرَ الاِثْمِ وَبَاطِنَهُ إِنَّ الَّذِينَ يَكْسِبُونَ الاِثْمَ سَيُجْزَوْنَ بِمَا كَانُواْ يَقْتَرِفُونَ
Leave sin, open and secret. Verily, those who commit sin will get due recompense for that which they used to commit.

What is meant by sin here is all acts of disobedience that cause trouble for the individual with regard to the rights of ALLĀH and the rights of other people. ALLĀH forbids HIS slaves to commit sin openly or in secret, whether those sins have to do with physical actions or have to do with thoughts, beliefs and attitudes in the heart.

The individual has not fully given up sin, either outward or hidden, until he learns what it is and finds out about it. Finding out about it and learning what constitutes sin, both outward or hidden, so that one is aware of it, is an individual obligation for everyone who is accountable.

Many people are unaware of many sins, especially the sins of the heart such as arrogance, self-admiration, showing off and so on, to such an extent that a person may commit many of these sins without being aware of it, because of lack of knowledge and lack of understanding.

Then ALLĀH tells us that those who incur a burden of sin, whether openly or in secret, will be requited according to what they earn and according to the extent of their sins, small or great. This recompense will come in the hereafter, and it may come in this world, whereby a person will be punished, thus reducing his burden of sin.

"I wonder whether the one who during Ramadān was fasting, reciting and reading Qur’ān, giving and spending in charity, praying at night, making du’aa’, will he be like that after Ramadān, or will he follow another path, I mean the path of the Shaytān, so that he commits sin and does things that anger the Most Gracious, Most Merciful?

If a Muslim continues to have the patience to do righteous deeds after Ramadān, this is a sign that his fasting has been accepted by his Lord, the Most Generous, the Bestower of blessings. If he fails to do righteous deeds after Ramadān, and follows the ways of the Shaytān, this is a sign of humiliation, meanness, lowly status and being deprived of the help of ALLĀH."

And be not like her who undoes the thread which she has spun, after it has become strong.

By breaking your covenants, like the worst example that is most indicative of the foolishness of the one who breaks his covenant, which is the likeness of the woman who spins a strong thread, then when it has become strong as expected, she undoes it and breaks it into strands, because she got tired of spinning it, then when she undid it she got tired again, so she did not gain anything except frustration, tiredness, foolishness and lack of reasoning. This is like the one who breaks the covenant he made: he is a wrongdoer and a fool who is lacking in religious commitment and dignity.

ALLĀH says:

فَلْيَحْذَرِ الَّذِينَ يُخَالِفُونَ عَنْ أَمْرِهِ
And let those beware who oppose the Messenger's commandment,

This means going against the commandment of the Prophet ﷺ, which is his way, methodology and Sunnah. All words and deeds will be measured against his words and deeds; those that are in accordance with his words and deeds will be accepted, and whatever does not match up will be rejected, no matter who the person is who said and did them.

It was recorded in the Two Sahihs and elsewhere that the Messenger of ALLĀH ﷺ said: "Whoever does a deed that is not in accordance with this matter of ours will have it rejected."

meaning, let those beware who go against the Shariah of the Messenger, in secret and in the open,

أَن تُصِيبَهُمْ فِتْنَةٌ
lest some Fitnah should befall them,

i.e., lest some disbelief or hypocrisy or innovation enter their hearts.

أَوْ يُصِيبَهُمْ عَذَابٌ أَلِيمٌ

“It is highly recommended to recite the Eid takbeer during the night of Eid from sunset on the last day Ramadān until the Imam attends and leads the prayer. The prescribed  manner and wording of the takbeer is as follows:

الله أكبر الله أكبر، لا إله إلا الله، الله أكبر الله أكبر ولله الحمد

Allahu Akbar, Allahu Akbar, la ilaha ill-Allah, Allahu Akbar, Allahu Akbar, wa Lillaahil-Hamd

Allah is the Greatest, Allah is the Greatest, none has the right to be worshipped [in truth] but Allah, Allah is the Greatest, Allah is the Greatest, and to Allah belongs all praise.

You can say the first set of Allahu Akbar three times instead of two and this way is permitted too.

Men should raise their voices reciting this rememberance and commemoration of Allah in the marketplaces, mosques and homes, but women should not raise their voices.”

NOTE: Some of these Fatwas follow on from one another, so it's best to read them in order.

1. What is the ruling of Zakātul Fiṭr?

2. Is the slavemaster required to give Zakātul Fiṭr on behalf of a non-believing slave?

Ibn 'Abbas (may ALLĀH be pleased with him) narrated that the Prophet (ﷺ) said:

"Whoever pays it (Zakātul-Fitr) before the prayer, it is an accepted zakah (i.e., zakat al-fitr), and whoever pays it after the prayer, it is ordinary charity."

THE PROHIBITION OF LEAVING THE MASJID WHILE THE IMĀM IS DELIVERING THE FRIDAY SERMON

ALLĀH says,

وَإِذَا رَأَوۡاْ تِجَٰرَةً أَوۡ لَهۡوًا ٱنفَضُّوٓاْ إِلَيۡهَا وَتَرَكُوكَ قَآئِمًاۚ
When they see some merchandise or amusement, they rush towards it and leave you ˹O Muhammad˺ standing there.

that is, they leave the mosque, out of eagerness to see that distraction or that merchandise. They leave what is good, "and leave you standing there", addressing the people.

This refers to an incident that occurred one Friday, when the Prophet (ﷺ) was addressing the people. A trade caravan came to Madīnah, and when the people heard of it whilst they were in the mosque, they went out of the mosque and left the Prophet (ﷺ) addressing the people, and hastened towards that to which they should not have hastened, forgetting their manners.

قُلۡ مَا عِندَ ٱللَّهِ
"Say: That which is with ALLĀH" of reward for the one who adheres to goodness and is patient in worshipping his Lord

خَيۡرٌ مِّنَ ٱللَّهۡوِ وَمِنَ ٱلتِّجَٰرَةِۚ
"is better than any distraction or merchandise." Although there is some benefit in trade, it is little and tainted, and it will be the cause of missing out on goodness in the hereafter (for the one who left obligatory acts due to trade), whereas patience in obeying ALLĀH and continuing one's act of worship does not cause one to miss out on provision, for ALLĀH is the best of providers. So whoever fears ALLĀH, HE will grant him provision from where he does not expect.

From this passage we learn many things, including the following:

• It is prohibited to buy and sell after the call to Jumu’ah prayer. That is only because these actions cause one to miss out on the obligatory duty and distract one from it. This indicates that any matter, even if it is permissible in principle, if it results in missing something obligatory, then it is not permissible in that case.

• It is enjoined to attend the two khutbahs on Friday, and the one who does not attend them is blameworthy. What that implies is that one should listen attentively to both of them.

• The individual should focus on worshipping ALLĀH at a time when he is inclined to turn to distractions and trade, and respond to his desires. He should remind himself of that which is with ALLĀH of reward for the one who gives precedence to pleasing ALLĀH over his own whims and desires.
