HOW TO CATCH UP WITH RAK'AH

If a person joins the congregation when the imam is bowing, one of the following three scenarios applies:

1️⃣ He says takbīratul-ihram (saying “Allāhu akbar” to start the prayer) whilst standing, then he bows whilst the imam is bowing. In this case he has caught up with the rak‘ah with the imam.

2️⃣ He says takbīratul-ihram whilst the imam is bowing, but he bows after the imam has stood up from rukoo’. In this case he is not counted as having caught up with the rak‘ah with the imam, and he has to make it up.

3️⃣ He bows straightaway without saying takbīratul-ihram. In this case his prayer is invalid, because he has omitted one of the pillars or essential parts of the prayer, which is takbīratul-ihram.

"The fuqaha’ are agreed that whoever catches up with the imam in rukoo’ has caught up with the rak‘ah, because the Prophet ﷺ said: 'Whoever catches up with rukoo’ has caught up with the rak‘ah.'" {Abu Dawūd}

Shaykh al-Albāni said (in Irwa’ al-Ghaleel, pg. 262): one of the things that strengthens the hadīth is the fact that the Sahābah acted in accordance with this: 

1️⃣ Ibn Mas’ood, who said: “Whoever does not catch up with the imam when he is bowing has not caught up with that rak‘ah.”

2️⃣ ‘Abdullāh ibn ‘Umar, who said: “If you come when the imam is bowing, and you put your hands on you knees before the imam stands up, then you have caught up (with that rak‘ah).”

3️⃣ Zayd ibn Thaabit, who used to say: “Whoever catches up with the rak‘ah before the Imam raises his head has indeed caught up with the rak‘ah.”

ALLĀH ENCOMPASSES AND WATCHES ALL OF MAN'S ACTIVITY

ALLĀH the Exalted says,

وَلَقَدْ خَلَقْنَا الاِْنسَانَ وَنَعْلَمُ مَا تُوَسْوِسُ بِهِ نَفْسُهُ
And indeed WE have created man, and WE know what his self whispers to him.

ALLĀH the Exalted affirms HIS absolute dominance over mankind, being their Creator and the Knower of everything about them. ALLĀH the Exalted has complete knowledge of all thoughts that cross the mind of man, be they good or evil.

In the Sahih, the Messenger of ALLĀH said: "Verily, ALLĀH the Exalted has forgiven my Ummah (Muslims) for what they talk (think) to themselves about, as long as they do not utter or implement it."

The statement of ALLĀH the Exalted,

وَنَحْنُ أَقْرَبُ إِلَيْهِ مِنْ حَبْلِ الْوَرِيدِ
And WE are nearer to him than his jugular vein.

means, HIS angels are nearer to man than his jugular vein.

Those who explained 'WE' in the Ayah to mean 'OUR knowledge,' have done so to avoid falling into the idea of incarnation or indwelling; but these two creeds are false according to the consensus of Muslims. ALLĀH is praised and glorified, HE is far hallowed beyond what they ascribe to HIM. The words of this Ayah do not need this explanation (that 'We' refers to 'ALLĀH's knowledge'), for ALLĀH did not say, 'and I am closer to him than his jugular vein.' Rather, HE said,

وَنَحْنُ أَقْرَبُ إِلَيْهِ مِنْ حَبْلِ الْوَرِيدِ
And WE are nearer to him than his jugular vein.

just as HE said in the case of dying persons,

وَنَحْنُ أَقْرَبُ إِلَيْهِ مِنكُمْ وَلَكِن لاَّ تُبْصِرُونَ
But WE are nearer to him than you, but you see not. (56:85),

in reference to HIS angels (who take the souls).

ALLĀH the Exalted the Blessed said,

إِنَّا نَحْنُ نَزَّلْنَا الذِّكْرَ وَإِنَّا لَهُ لَحَـفِظُونَ
Verily, WE, it is WE Who have sent down the Dhikr and surely, We will guard it. (15:9)

Therefore, the angels brought down the revelation, the Qur'an, by the leave of ALLĀH, the Exalted, the Most Honored. Thus, the angels are closer to man than his own jugular vein, by the power and leave of ALLĀH. Consequently, the angel touches mankind, just as the devil touches them, for the devil is as close to them as the blood that runs in their veins; just as ALLĀH's Prophet, who is truthful and was told the truth, told us.

BE ATTACHED TO THE CAUSER AND NOT THE CAUSES.

Causes of events (asbab tariq) are like a road one cannot help but take; a person who knows his Lord well will never rely on it. ALLĀH exposes for him what HE does not show others—that none should ever rely on the means and causes. Thus if he inclines to them, ALLĀH may punish him even though his inclination is something he does not accept. The least mistake however still deserves to be disciplined.

It is worthy to reflect on the story of Prophet Sulayman (peace be upon him) who said: “Tonight, I shall sleep with one hundred women, each of whom will conceive a child” but as he did not add to it “with ALLĀH’S permission”, only one woman of the one hundred became pregnant who later delivered a half-child.” {Bukhari and Muslim}

I was once in a situation that made me rely on some material-causes and such attachment necessitated I meet and play along with one of the oppressors to avert his harm. While I was in that condition contemplating, a Qur'an reciter entered the room and began reciting what brought hope and comfort to my heart; he recited, in the meaning of the verse:

وَلَا تَرۡكَنُوٓاْ إِلَى ٱلَّذِينَ ظَلَمُواْ فَتَمَسَّكُمُ ٱلنَّارُ وَمَا لَكُم مِّن دُونِ ٱللَّهِ مِنۡ أَوۡلِيَآءَ ثُمَّ لَا تُنصَرُونَ
And do not incline toward those who do wrong, lest you be touched by the Fire, and you would not have other than ALLĀH any protectors; then you would not be helped. {Surah Hud || Verse 113}

This verse awakened my mind and refuted my inner thought (that which made me think of the causes and not the One who created causes). Thus, I said to myself, “Listen, I sought victory in my attempts to play along but the Qur’an informed that if I incline towards those who do wrong, I will not be helped or become victorious.

Thus, glad tidings are for those who are aware of the One who created causes and hence relied only on Him, for it is the ultimate purpose that we ask ALLĀH alone.

📕 Tafseer al-Mu'awwidhatayn

👤 Ibn Qayyim al-Jawziyya (may ALLĀH have mercy on him)

Tafseer Al-Mu'awwidhatayn gives a careful and savvy journey into the profundities of Surah al-Falaq and Surah an-Nas. Ibn al-Qayyim (may ALLĀH have mercy on him) purposefully unloads the profound, phonetic, and pragmatic parts of these sections in this enlightening analysis, uncovering the never-ending astuteness concealed inside al-Mu'awwidhatayn.

The Tafseer makes sense of the complex idea of wickedness and damage, which can appear in different ways. Ibn al-Qayyim utilizes the Qur'ān to provide total information on the different types of misfortune that devotees look for security from, whether physical, mental, or profound.

May ALLĀH make it beneficial.

We live in a world where we want things immediately. But, all around us, ALLĀH teaches us a profound lesson, again and again: everything is a process and takes time.

“Indeed, your Lord is ALLĀH, who created the heavens and earth in six days” {7:54}

ALLĀH could have created the heavens and the earth and all between them in less than a blink of an eye - as HE says: “Indeed, OUR word to a thing when WE intend it is but that WE say to it, 'Be', and it is.” {16:40} -but HE designed it to take 6 days.

HE could have made a baby in a moment, but HE designed it to take 9 months, more or less.

The Prophet’s ﷺ mission could have been completed in a year or two. But, ALLĀH designed it to take 23 years.

You may not always see the fruits of your effort right away. Don’t get discouraged.

All things take time. And to all things is a process you cannot speed up.

Therefore, success is dependent upon patience, as the Prophet ﷺ mentioned: “And know that victory comes with patience” {Hadith Nawawi #19}

THE MONKEYS AND SWINE THAT EXIST NOW ARE NOT THE DESCENDANTS OF THOSE THAT WERE TRANSFORMED

ALLĀH said,

وَلَقَدْ عَلِمْتُمُ الَّذِينَ اعْتَدَواْ مِنكُمْ فِي السَّبْتِ فَقُلْنَا لَهُمْ كُونُواْ قِرَدَةً خَاسِيِينَ
And indeed you knew those amongst you who transgressed in the matter of the Sabbath (i.e. Saturday). We said to them:"Be you monkeys, despised and rejected."

This Ayah means, O Jews! Remember that ALLĀH sent HIS torment on the village that disobeyed HIM and broke their pledge and their covenant to observe the sanctity of the Sabbath.

They began using deceitful means to avoid honoring the Sabbath by placing nets, ropes and artificial pools of water for the purpose of fishing before the Sabbath. When the fish came in abundance on Saturday as usual, they were caught in the ropes and nets for the rest of Saturday. During the night, the Jews collected the fish after the Sabbath ended.

When they did that, ALLĀH changed them from humans into monkeys, the animals having the form closest to humans. Their evil deeds and deceit appeared lawful on the surface, but they were in reality wicked. This is why their punishment was compatible with their crime.

Ibn Abi Hatim recorded that Ibn Abbas said: "Those who violated the sanctity of the Sabbath were turned into monkeys, then they perished without offspring."

Ad-Dahhak said that Ibn Abbas said: "ALLĀH turned them into monkeys because of their sins. They only lived on the earth for three days, for no transformed person ever lives more than three days. They did not eat, drink or have offspring. ALLĀH transformed their shapes into monkeys, and HE does what HE wills, with whom HE wills and HE changes the shape of whomever HE wills. On the other hand, ALLĀH created the monkeys, swines and the rest of the creation in the six days (of creation) that HE mentioned in HIS Book."

THE SUN

Ibn Qayyim al-Jawziyya (may ALLĀH have mercy on him) said:

"The sun is sometimes called the 'atomic furnace'

1. It is a dazzling lamp

2. It provides man with heat, light and radioactive energy.

3. It is one million and three hundred thousand times the size of the earth.

4. It is about 150 million kilometres away from us.

5. Its light reaches us in approximately 8 minutes and forty seconds.

6. Its gravity is 28 times the gravity of the earth.

7. The sun revolves around its axis in 25 days.

8. It is one star of 100,000 million stars in our galaxy. Its size is nothing compared with that of some of the stars called 'supergiants'.

9. It is 3200 light years far from the centre of our galaxy.

10. The temperature at the surface of the sun is 5500 degrees centigrade, and the temperature increases toward the nucleus until it reaches 10 million degrees centigrade.

11. Hydrogen is the main element of which the sun consists.

12. Due to excessive temperature, the sun loses about 4 tons of its mass per second, as a result of the chemothermal reactions. In fact, this is the source of the energy we draw upon and benefit from.

13. The sun is not less than 5000 million years old, and the galaxy is much older than that.

So glory be to HIM who swore by the sun when HE said:

وَالشَّمْسِ وَضُحَنَهَا
"By the sun and his brightness." (91: 1)"

IT IS RECOMMENDED TO MAKE THE KHUTBAH CONCISE

Keeping the Jumu’ah khutbah short reflects the khatīb’s understanding of the religion, as it allows him to convey meaningful ideas succinctly. This was the practice of the Prophet (ﷺ) in his khutbahs, and it is the best method. 

Abu Waa'il said: 'Ammaar addressed us and he spoke briefly but eloquently. When he came down (from the minbar), we said: O Abu'l-Yaqzān, you spoke eloquently but briefly, would that you had made it longer. He said: I heard the Messenger of ALLĀH (ﷺ) say: "A man's lengthening his prayer and shortening his khutbah is a sign of his understanding ˹of religion˺, so make your prayers lengthy and your khutbahs brief, for there is charm in eloquent speech." {Muslim #869} 

Shaykh al-'Uthaymīn (may ALLĀH have mercy on him) said:

"It is better to keep the khutbah short, because there are two benefits of keeping the khutbah short:

1⃣. The listeners do not get bored, because if the khutbah is lengthy – especially if the khatīb delivers it in a boring manner which does not move their hearts and does not motivate them – then the people will get bored and fed up.

2⃣. That makes the listener remember better, because if it is too long, the first part of it is lost by the time he reaches the end, but if it is short, then it is possible to remember it and learn from it. Hence the Prophet (ﷺ) said: "A man's lengthening his prayer and shortening his khutbah is a sign of his understanding (of religion)," i.e., it is indicative of his understanding of religion and shows that he pays attention to people’s circumstances. But sometimes there is a need for a lengthy exhortation, and if a person speaks at length because the situation requires that, it does not mean that he is excluded from the description of being one who understands religion, because length and shortness are relative matters.

THE STRUGGLE OF OUR LIVES MAKES US BETTER

A believer may be tested by all sorts of difficulties like sickness, lack of income, disobedience from his children, etc.

The many afflictions that may beset a person are incalculable. Every one of us is being tested by ALLĀH. HE tests us all in different ways, ALLĀH said:

أَحَسِبَ ٱلنَّاسُ أَن یُتۡرَكُوۤا۟ أَن یَقُولُوۤا۟ ءَامَنَّا وَهُمۡ لَا یُفۡتَنُونَ
“Do people think once they say, 'We believe,' that they will be left without being put to the test?” {Al-Ankaboot: Verse 1}

وَلَنَبۡلُوَنَّكُم
“We will certainly test you...” {al-Baqarah: Verse 155}

A believer is bound to be tested. Therefore, we should not blindly assume that the difficulties we face in life are punishments or signs that ALLĀH is displeased with us. Likewise, we should never construe the success and pleasures that others enjoy as signs that ALLĀH is pleased with them or that they are privileged. Sometimes, the opposite could be true.

Anas ibn Malik reported: The Messenger of ALLĀH ﷺ said, “If ALLĀH wills goodness for HIS servant, HE hastens his punishment in this world. If ALLĀH wills to harm HIS servant, HE withholds punishment for his sins until he arrives on the Day of Resurrection. Verily, with greater rewards come greater trials. If ALLĀH loves a people, HE afflicts them with trials. Whoever is content will be given contentment, and whoever is displeased will be given displeasure.”
{al-Tirmidhi‌ #2396}

This is what gives contentment and composure to the believer’s heart, and acceptance of what must be endured in life. It is only this consideration that provides a balanced view of life, and through which, much wisdom of what takes place in the world becomes evident.

SURATUL-FALAQ AND SURATUL-NĀS SUFFICE AGAINST EVERY EVIL

Abu Sa'id Al-Khudri (may ALLĀH be pleased with him) reported: The Prophet (ﷺ) used to seek protection against the evil of jinn and the evil eyes till Surah Al-Falāq and Surah An-Nās were revealed. After they were revealed, he took to them for seeking ALLAH'S protection and left everything besides them.{At-Tirmidhi}

{Riyādhus-Saliḥīn || Book 9, Chapter 183, Hadith 1015}

COMMENTARY:
Like men, jinns have also good and bad elements among them. Almighty ALLĀH has endowed them with such power that if they want they can, with the Will of ALLĀH, harm human beings. This is the reason mischievous jinns harm people. Similarly, influence of the evil eye is also true. What it means is that if a person looks at someone with greed and envy, the evil effects of his look will reach the person viewed, and because of that he has to suffer some loss or trouble or accident. For this reason, the Prophet (ﷺ) would seek the protection of ALLĀH against the jinns and the evil eye and pray in his own words for it, saying: "I seek YOUR protection against jinns and evil eyes of the people.'' After the revelation of the Surah Al-Falaq and An-Nas (last two Surah of the Quran) he started reciting them because these were revealed for this purpose. These Surah are also called "Al-Mu'awwidhatain'' which mean two Surah which provide protection. It is, therefore, very useful to seek the protection of ALLĀH by reciting them.

18 Nov 2024 12:54

THE RELIGION IS EASY

ALLĀH says: "ALLĀH intends for you ease, and HE does not want to make things difficult for you." {Al-Baqarah || Verse 185}

"HE has chosen you and has not placed upon you in the religion any difficulty. {Al-Hajj || Verse 78}


Abu Huraira (may ALLĀH be pleased with him) reported: The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "Religion is easy, and no one overburdens himself in his religion but he will be unable to continue in that way. So do not be extremists, but try to be near perfection and receive the good tidings that you will be rewarded. Gain strength by worshipping in the mornings and afternoons and during the last hours of the night." {al-Bukha‌ri‌ #39}

Abdullah ibn Amr (may ALLĀH be pleased with him) said, the Prophet (ﷺ) said to me : “How do you fast?” I said: ˹I fast˺ every day. He said: “How long does it take you to complete the recitation of the Qur’an?” I said: “˹I complete it˺ every night. He said: “Fast for three days every month and complete the Qur’an once a month.” I said: I am able to do more than that. He said: “Fast for three days every week.” I said: I am able to do more than that. He said: “Do not fast for two days and fast for one day.” I said: I am able to do more than that. He said: Observe the best of fasts, the fast of Dāwūd, fast one day and not the next. And recite ˹complete the Qur’an˺ once in every seven nights.”  I wish I had accepted the concession of the Messenger of ALLĀH (ﷺ) for I have grown old and weak. {Al-Bukhārī #5052}

Ibn Hajar said Al-Munīr (may ALLĀH have mercy on them) said: "This hadīth (Al-Bukhārī #39) is one of the signs of Prophethood. We have seen and the people before us saw that everyone who goes to extremes in religious matters will be cut off and doomed. It does not mean that we should not seek to be more perfect in worship, for that is something praiseworthy. Rather what is forbidden is the kind of extremism that leads to getting bored with it, or going to such extremes in doing voluntary acts that one ends up forsaking that which is better, or it leads to delaying the obligatory act until the time for it is past, like one who stays up and prays all night, until sleep overcomes him at the end of the night and he sleeps and misses offering Fajr prayer in congregation, or until the preferred time for it is over, or until the sun rises and the time for the obligatory prayer ends." {Fath al-Bāri by Ibn Hajar || 1/94}

One major reason religion feels burdensome is the failure to follow the path of the Messenger (ﷺ). By examining the various obligatory and nāfil acts—such as prayer, fasting, and charity—and striving to emulate the Messenger of ALLĀH (ﷺ), one will find these practices manageable. They do not hinder worldly responsibilities; instead, they enable one to fulfill duties to ALLĀH, oneself, family, friends, and others effortlessly.

ADHERING TO PATIENCE IN TIMES OF AFFLICTION AND GRATITUDE IN TIMES OF AFFLUENCE

ALLĀH says: "No calamity ˹or blessing˺ occurs on earth or in yourselves but it is inscribed in the Book of Decrees (Al-Lauh Al-Mahfūz) before WE bring it into existence. Verily, that is easy for ALLĀH. In order that you may not grieve at the things that you fail to get, nor rejoice over that which has been given to you. And ALLĀH likes not prideful boasters. {Al-Hadid || Verse 22-23}


Suhayb (may ALLĀH be pleased with him) reported: The Messenger of ALLĀH (ﷺ) said, “Wondrous is the affair of a believer, as there is good for him in every matter; this is not the case for anyone but a believer. If he experiences pleasure, he thanks ALLĀH and it is good for him. If he experiences harm, he shows patience and it is good for him.” {Muslim #2999}

Anas Ibn Mālik (may ALLĀH be pleased with him) reported: The Prophet (ﷺ) said, “I am amazed by the believer. Verily, ALLĀH does not decree anything for the believer except what is good for him.” {Musnad Aḥmad #12906}


Ibn Qayyim al-Jawziyya (may ALLĀH have mercy on him) said: "The Divine Decree related to the believer is always a bounty, even if it is in the form of withholding (something that is desired), and it is a blessing, even if it appears to be a trial, and an affliction that has befallen him is in reality a cure, even though it appears to be a disease. Unfortunately, due to the ignorance of the worshiper, and his transgressions, he does not consider anything to be a gift or a blessing or a cure unless he can enjoy it immediately, and it is in accordance with his nature." {Madārij as-Salikīn || 2/215-216}

The Prophet (ﷺ) said:

"Whoever sends Salah (peace and blessings) upon me once, ALLĀH will send Salah upon him ten-fold, and will erase ten sins from him, and will raise him ten degrees in status." {An-Nasaa'i, #1297}

“Of your best days is Friday. On it Adam was created; and on it his (soul) was taken; and on it is the blowing (of the Trumpet); and on it is the Swoon. So, increase in sending your Salah upon me, for your salah upon me are presented to me.” {Sunan Abī Dāwūd #1047}

Sending Salah upon the Prophet (ﷺ) is amongst the most virtuous acts of worship. Rewards are written; the servant's sins are forgiven; and his status is elevated. So there are plenty of rewards for reciting Salah every day, especially on Fridays.

The Prophet (ﷺ) said: "Our Lord, the Almighty, Laughs at the despair of HIS slaves while HIS Change (of their condition from difficulty to ease) is near!!" {Silsilatul-Ahadith as-Sahīhah #2810}


Ibn al-Qayyim (may ALLĀH have mercy on him) said: "Expecting and hoping for a time of ease. This hope in itself offers a measure of immediate relief." {Patience and Gratitude || Page 16}


Never underestimate the power of du'a and never think things will always be difficult just because that seems to be the logical expectation after certain things happen in your life. It all comes from ALLĀH. HE has the power to make the difficult easy, and the complicated, uncomplicated. We all knew and believed HE cooled the fire for Ibrahim (peace be upon him), don’t ever think that it is difficult to have your miracle in life, whatever it is for you.

PROHIBITION OF AIDING WRONGDOERS

ALLĀH says,

وَلَا تَرْكَنُواْ إِلَى الَّذِينَ ظَلَمُواْ
And incline not toward those who do wrong,

Ali bin Abi Talhah said that Ibn Abbas said: "Do not compromise with them."

Ibn Jarir said that Ibn Abbas said: "Do not side with those who do wrong."

This is a good statement. This means: "Do not seek assistance from wrongdoers, because it will be as if you are condoning their actions (of evil)."

فَتَمَسَّكُمُ النَّارُ وَمَا لَكُم مِّن دُونِ اللّهِ مِنْ أَوْلِيَاء ثُمَّ لَا تُنصَرُونَ
lest the Fire should touch you, and you have no protectors other than ALLĀH, nor you would then be helped.

This means that you will not have besides ALLĀH any friend who can save you, nor any helper who can remove you from HIS torment.

When Feeling Some Pain in The Body:

1⃣.  Put your right hand on the place where you feel pain and say (3 times):

بِسْمِ اللهِ
Bismillāh (With the Name of ALLĀH).

2⃣. Then say (7 times):

أَعُوذُ باللهِ وَقُدْرَتِهِ مِنْ شَرِّ مَا أَجِدُ وَأُحَاذِرُ

'A'oothu billāhi wa qudratihi min sharri maa 'ajidu wa 'uhaathiru (I seek refuge in ALLĀH and in HIS Power from the evil of what I find and of what I guard against).

📖 Sahih Muslim (2202)

It was narrated that ‘Uthman bin Abul-‘As Thaqafi said: I came to the Prophet (ﷺ) and I was suffering pain that was killing me.

The Prophet (ﷺ) said to me: ‘Put your right hand on it and say: Bismillah, a’udhu bi’izzatil-lahi wa qudratihi min sharri ma ajidu wa uhadhiru. (In the Name of ALLĀH, I seek refuge in the might and power of ALLĀH from the evil of what I feel and what I fear),” seven times.’

ALL INVOLVED IN AR-RIBA (INTEREST) ARE CURSED

'Abdullāh bin Mas'ud (may ALLĀH be pleased with him) reported:

The Messenger of ALLĀH (ﷺ) cursed the one who accepts ar-Riba (Interest) and the one who pays it. {Muslim}.

The narration in At-Tirmidhi adds: And the one who records it, and the two persons who stand witness to it.

{Riyādhus-Saliḥīn || Chapter 18, Chapter 287, Hadith 1615}

COMMENTARY:
Both the parties, that is the one who charges interest and the one who pays it, are equally guilty in the matter of ar-riba (interest). This Hadith highlights the intensity of unlawfulness of ar-Riba, or what has come to be called nowadays interest which can be judged from the fact that not only the person who charges it and the one who pays it are cursed but even those who write the documents and bear witness to the transaction are condemned although the latter two have no active part in the deal. They have been condemned for their mere co-operation in the matter of interest.

Thus, we learn that even co-operation in the deal in which interest is involved is an invitation to the Curse and Wrath of ALLĀH.

The reason for such severity in the matter of interest is that Islam wants to create a society which is founded on fraternity, sympathy, selflessness and sacrifice. If someone is in need of money, the rich should fulfill his needs for the sake of ALLĀH's Pleasure or give him a loan without interest. As against the Islamic system, this system of interest is based on selfishness, exploitation and suppression.

In the interest-ridden societies, the affluent ones are not inclined to co-operate with the needy for the sake of ALLĀH. All they are concerned with is their own interest. Their lust and greed are not reduced in the slightest measure even after draining the last drop of the blood of the poor. This is the reason why Shari'ah has forbidden interest of every kind and regarded it unlawful, no matter whether the loan is for the personal need or commercial requirements.

STINGINESS IS PROHIBITED

ALLĀH says: "And whoever is protected from the stinginess of his soul - it is those who will be the successful." {Al-Hashr || Verse 9}

"Here you are - those invited to spend in the cause of ALLĀH - but among you are those who withhold ˹out of greed˺. And whoever withholds only withholds ˹benefit˺ from himself." {Muhammad || Verse 38}


Abu Huraira (may ALLĀH be pleased with him) reported: The Messenger of ALLĀH (ﷺ) said, "None among the servants are bestowed a blessing from ALLĀH and HE makes it abundant upon him but that HE will appoint to him something of the needs of people. If he is irritated with them, he risks the disappearance of that blessing." {Shu'ab al-Imān #7254}

Abu Darda (may ALLĀH be pleased with him) reported: The Messenger of ALLĀH (ﷺ) said, "The sun never rises but that two angels are sent at its sides, calling out. All the earth’s inhabitants hear them, except humans and jinn: O people, come quickly to your Lord! What is little and sufficient is better than what is abundant and negligent! The sun never sets but two angels are sent at its sides, calling out. All the earth’s inhabitants hear them, except humans and jinn: O ALLĀH, repay the one who spends in charity! O ALLĀH, destroy the one who withholds charity!" {Musnad Aḥmad #21721}


Imām al-Ghazali (may ALLĀH have mercy on him) said: "The stingy person is the one who withholds when he should not withhold, either according to Islamic teaching or according to common decency. This is not something that can be quantified." {Ihyaa’ 'Ulūm ad-Dīn || 3/260}

Ibn al-Jawzī (may ALLĀH have mercy on him) said: "Woe to you! What benefit do you find in saving wealth that adds no good deeds to your balance nor will it be a landmark in history. Have you not heard of the amounts that Abu Bakr (may ALLĀH be pleased with him) gave away in charity as opposed to the miserliness of Tha'labah? Have you not noticed the effect of praising Ḥātim as opposed to the niggardliness of Al-Ḥabāhib." {Captured Thoughts || Page 873}

ALLĀH ELEVATES OR ABASES PEOPLE BY THE QUR'ĀN

'Umar bin al-Khattab (may ALLĀH be pleased with him) reported:

The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "Verily, ALLĀH elevates some people with this Qur'ān and abases others.'' {Muslim}.

{Riyādhus-Saliḥīn|| Book 9, Chapter 180, Hadith 996}

COMMENTARY:
Only such people will be elevated who act upon the teachings of the Qur'an and abstain from what is forbidden by ALLĀH. The Muslims of the early centuries of Islam were blessed with great honour by ALLĀH because they loved and applied the Qur'ān. Because of this meaningful attachment with the Qur'ān, they made great achievements in religious and worldly spheres. Those who neglected the teachings of Islam will be disgraced and humiliated.

May ALLĀH ﷻ guide and enable us to re-establish our contact with the Qur'ān so that we can regain our past glory.

Exaltation and humiliation mentioned in the Hadith is bound to happen in both this life and the Hereafter.

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.

THE PERFECT POWER OF ALLĀH TO CREATE VARIOUS THINGS AND PAIRS OF OPPOSITES.

ALLĀH says,

وَهُوَ الَّذِي مَرَجَ الْبَحْرَيْنِ هَذَا عَذْبٌ فُرَاتٌ وَهَذَا مِلْحٌ أُجَاجٌ
And it is HE Who has let free the two seas, this is palatable and sweet, and that is salty and bitter;

means, HE has created the two kinds of water, sweet and salty. The sweet water is like that in rivers, springs and wells, which is fresh, sweet, palatable water.

This was the view of Ibn Jurayj and of Ibn Jarir, and this is the meaning without a doubt, for nowhere in creation is there a sea which is fresh and sweet.

ALLĀH has told us about reality so that HIS servants may realize HIS blessings to them and give thanks to HIM. The sweet water is that which flows amidst people. ALLĀH has portioned it out among HIS creatures according to their needs; rivers and springs in every land, according to what they need for themselves and their lands.

وَهَذَا مِلْحٌ أُجَاجٌ
and that is salty and bitter;

meaning that it is salty, bitter and not easy to swallow.

This is like the seas that are known in the east and the west, the Atlantic Ocean and the Straits that lead to it, the Red Sea, the Arabian Sea, the Persian Gulf, the China Sea, the Indian Ocean, the Mediterranean Sea, the Black Sea and so on, all the seas that are stable and do not flow, but they swell and surge in the winter and when the winds are strong, and they have tides that ebb and flow. At the beginning of each month the tides ebb and flood, and when the month starts to wane they retreat until they go back to where they started. When the crescent of the following month appears, the tide begins to ebb again until the fourteenth of the month, then it decreases.

ALLĀH, may HE be glorified, the One Whose power is absolute, has set these laws in motion, so all of these seas are stationary, and HE has made their water salty lest the air turn putrid because of them and the whole earth turn rotten as a result, and lest the earth spoil because of the animals dying on it. Because its water is salty, its air is healthy and its dead are good (to eat), hence when the Messenger of ALLĀH (ﷺ) was asked whether sea water can be used for Wudu', he said:

"Its water is pure and its dead are lawful."

This was recorded by Malik, Ash-Shafi'i and Ahmad, and by the scholars of Sunan with a good (Jayyid) chain of narration.

THE IMPORTANCE OF HAVING RIGHTEOUS FRIENDS AND DESERTING EVIL FRIENDS

ALLĀH says: "(The wrongdoers will say) Ah! Woe to me! Would that I had never taken so-and-so as an intimate friend! He led me away from the remembrance after it had come to me." {Al-Furqān || Verse 27}

"One of them (people of Paradise) will say, “I once had a companion ˹in the world˺. Who would say, 'Are you indeed of those who believe?!' {Al-Sāffāt || Verse 51-52}


Abu Huraira (may ALLĀH be pleased with him) reported: The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "A man is upon the religion of his best friend, so let one of you look at whom he befriends." {Al-Tirmidhī #2378}

It is reported by Sa'id b. Musayyib (may ALLĀH be pleased with them) who narrated it on the authority of his father (Musayyib b. Hazm) that when Abu Talib was about to die, the Messenger of ALLĀH (ﷺ) came to him and found with him Abu Jahl ('Amr b. Hisham) and 'Abdullah b. Abi Umayya ibn al-Mughirah. The Messenger of ALLĀH (ﷺ) said: "My uncle, just make a profession that there is no god ˹worthy of worship˺ but ALLĀH, and I will bear testimony before ALLĀH (of your being a believer), Abu Jahl and 'Abdullah b. Abi Umayya addressing him said: Abu Talib, would you abandon the religion of 'Abdul-Muttalib? The Messenger of ALLĀH (ﷺ) constantly requested him (to accept his offer), and (on the other hand) was repeated the same statement (of Abu Jahl and 'Abdullah b. Abi Umayya) till Abu Talib gave his final decision and be stuck to the religion of 'Abdul-Muttalib and refused to profess that there is no god but ALLĀH." {Muslim #24}

Anas ibn Malik (may ALLĀH be pleased with him) reported: A young Jewish boy used to serve the Prophet (ﷺ) and he became sick, so the Prophet went to visit him. The Prophet sat near his head and asked him to embrace Islam. The boy looked at his father, who was sitting next to him. The father said, "Obey Abu al-Qasim," and so the boy embraced Islam. The Prophet came out saying, "All praise is due to ALLĀH, who has saved the boy from Hellfire." {Al-Bukhārī #1290}


Al-Khattaabi (may ALLĀH have mercy on him) said: "Do not take as a close friend anyone but one whose religious commitment and trustworthiness you are pleased with, for if you take him as a close friend, he will lead you to his religion and madhhab, so do not risk losing your religious commitment and expose yourself to danger by taking as a close friend one whose religious commitment and madhhab you are not pleased with." {Al-'Azlah || Page 141}

Shaykh Ibn Bāz (may ALLĀH have mercy on him) said: "Keeping company with good people is one of the best of deeds that bring one closer to ALLĀH, and is one of the best means of attaining blessing. On the other hand, keeping company with bad people such as disbelievers and those who commit sin openly is not permissible, and is one of the things that lead to a bad end and cause one to adopt their attitudes and deeds." {Fatāwa Islāmiyyah || 4/206, 207}

Laa ilāha illallāh is a contract, an oath, a promise to worship none besides ALLĀH, to love ALLĀH before the people, fear ALLĀH more than the people, and to ask ourselves in every situation, "What does ALLĀH want me to do here?" It’s a vow to trust ALLĀH before the people, call upon ALLĀH in times of hardship, thank ALLĀH in times of plenty, and know in our bones that our return is to HIM.

STERN WARNING AGAINST SEEKING THE PLEASURES OF JEWS AND CHRISTIANS AND IMITATING THEIR PRACTICES

ALLĀH says,

وَلَن تَرۡضَىٰ عَنكَ ٱلۡيَهُودُ وَلَا ٱلنَّصَٰرَىٰ حَتَّىٰ تَتَّبِعَ مِلَّتَهُمۡۗ قُلۡ إِنَّ هُدَى ٱللَّهِ هُوَ ٱلۡهُدَىٰۗ
Never will the Jews nor the Christians be pleased with you till you follow their religion. Say: Verily, the Guidance of ALLĀH is the ˹only˺ Guidance.

Here ALLĀH tells HIS Messenger (ﷺ) that the Jews and Christians will never be pleased with him unless he follows their religion, because they call people to the religion which they themselves are following, claiming that it is truth. So say to them: "Verily, the guidance of ALLĀH" with which I have been sent "is the ˹only˺ guidance".

With regard to what they are following, it is whims and desires, based on the fact that ALLĀH then says:

وَلَئِنِ ٱتَّبَعۡتَ أَهۡوَآءَهُم بَعۡدَ ٱلَّذِى جَآءَكَ مِنَ ٱلۡعِلۡمِۙ مَا لَكَ مِنَ ٱللَّهِ مِن وَلِىٍّ وَلَا نَصِيرٍ
If you were to follow their desires after the knowledge that has come to you, then you would have neither protector nor helper against ALLĀH.

This represents stern instructions not to follow the whims and desires of the Jews and Christians, or to imitate them in that which is exclusive to their religions. Although this is addressed to the Messenger of ALLĀH (ﷺ), his Ummah is also included in that, because what matters is the general application of the verse, regardless of whom it specifically addresses, just as what matters is the general meaning of the text, not the specific reason for which it is given.

{Tafsi‌r As-Sa'di}

#sadi #baqarah (2:120)

...'Abdullāh bin Salām (may ALLĀH be pleased with him) further said, "O ALLĀH's Messenger (ﷺ)! The Jews are liars, and if they should come to know about my conversion to Islām before you ask them (about me), they would tell a lie about me." The Jews came to ALLĀH's Messenger (ﷺ) and 'Abdullāh went inside the house. ALLĀH's Apostle asked (the Jews), "What kind of man is 'Abdullāh bin Salām amongst you?"

They replied, "He is the most learned person amongst us, and the best amongst us, and the son of the best amongst us."

ALLĀH's Messenger (ﷺ) said, "What do you think if he embraces Islam (will you do as he does)?"

The Jews said, "May ALLĀH save him from it."

Then 'Abdullāh bin Salām came out in front of them saying, "I testify that None has the right to be worshipped but ALLĀH and that Muhammad is the Apostle of ALLĀH."

Thereupon they said, "He is the evilest among us, and the son of the evilest amongst us," and continued talking badly of him.

THE PROPHET (ﷺ) SWEAR BY ALLĀH ON THREE QUALITIES

Abu Kabshah 'Amr bin Sa'd (May ALLĀH be pleased with him) reported: The Messenger of ALLĀH (ﷺ( said, “I swear by ALLĀH for three (qualities) which I am going to tell you about. Remember them well:

1. The wealth of a man will not diminish by Sadaqah (charity).

2. A servant is not wronged by oppression and he endures it patiently but that ALLĀH increases him in honor

3. HE who opens a gate of begging, ALLĀH opens a gate of poverty (or he said a word similar to it).”

He ﷺ also said, “Remember well what I am going to tell you: The world is for four kinds of people.

1. One upon whom ALLĀH has bestowed wealth and knowledge and so he fears his Lord in respect to them, joins the ties of blood relationship and acknowledges the Rights of ALLĀH on him (and fulfills them); this type will have the best position (in Jannah).

2. One upon whom ALLĀH has conferred knowledge but no wealth, and he is sincere in his intention and says: 'Had I possessed wealth, I would have acted like so-and-so.' If that is his intention, his reward is the same as that of the other.

3. One whom ALLĀH has given wealth but no knowledge and he squanders his wealth ignorantly, does not fear ALLĀH in respect to it, does not discharge the obligations of kinship and does not acknowledge the Rights of ALLĀH. Such a person will be in the worst position (in the Hereafter).

4. One upon whom ALLĀH has bestowed neither wealth nor knowledge and he says: 'Had I possessed wealth, I would have acted like so-and-so (i.e., he would squander his wealth).' If this is his intention, both will have equal sin.”  {At-Tirmidhi}

{Riyādhus-Saliḥīn || Book 1, Chapter 60, Hadith 557}

COMMENTARY:
This Hadith highlights the following points:

1. Those who forgive people and pardon them will be granted honour and elevation both in this life and in the Hereafter.

2. Those who have sufficient means to live on and still beg of people out of greed, will be afflicted with poverty.

3. The Hadith also urges us to acquire religious knowledge, and also the practise of this knowledge along with the intention to please ALLĀH Alone.

4. The Hadith also criticizes ignorance of religious teachings and ignorant people, for ignorance can easily lead one to commit forbidden acts.

BESEECHING ALLĀH FOR STEADFASTNESS UPON TRUE GUIDANCE

That is, do not cause our hearts to incline away from the truth out of ignorance or stubbornness on our part; rather cause us to follow the straight path, to be guided and to guide others; make us steadfast in adhering to YOUR guidance and keep us safe from that which those who deviate suffer

VIRTUES OF VOLUNTARY DEEDS

"But whoever does good of his own accord, it is better for him." {Al-Baqarah || Verse 184}


Abu Hurayrah (may ALLĀH be pleased with him) said: The Messenger of ALLĀH (ﷺ) said, ALLĀH says: "My servant draws not near to ME with anything more loved by ME than the religious duties I have enjoined upon him, and MY servant keeps on coming closer to ME through performing Nawafil (praying or doing extra deeds besides what is obligatory) till I love him." {Al-Bukhārī #6502}

Abu Hurayrah (may ALLĀH be pleased with him) said, 'I heard ALLĀH's Messenger (ﷺ) say:"The first of his deeds for which a person will be brought to account on the Day of Resurrection will be his prayer. If it is sound then he will have succeeded but if it is not sound then he will be lost and doomed. If anything is lacking from his obligatory prayers, the Lord will say: 'Look and see whether MY slave has any voluntary (prayers),' and the shortfall from his obligatory prayers will be made up from that. Then all his deeds will be dealt with in like manner." {Al-Tirmidhi #413}
