And so WE have revealed to you a Qur'an in Arabic, so you may warn the Mother of Cities and everyone around it, and warn of the Day of Gathering—about which there is no doubt—˹when˺ a group will be in Paradise and a group in the blazing Fire.

Had ALLĀH willed, HE could have made them (mankind) into a single community ˹of believers˺. But HE admits into HIS mercy whoever HE wills. And the wrongdoers will have no protector or helper.

Or have they taken ˹for worship˺ Auliyā’ (guardians, supporters, helpers, protectors, lords, gods) besides HIM? But ALLĀH - HE Alone is the Walī (Lord, God, Protector). And it is HE Who gives life to the dead, and HE is Able to do all things.

ALLĀH's Messenger ﷺ said:

"A man will be brought on the Day of Resurrection and will be cast into Hell: his intestines will pour forth and he will go round them as a donkey goes round a millstone."

The inmates of Hell will gather round him and say: "What has happened to you, O so-and-so? Were you not enjoining us to do good and forbidding us to evil?"

He will reply: "I was enjoying you to do good, but was not doing it myself; and I was forbidding you to do evil, but was doing it my self."

And ˹warn of˺ the Day WE shall cause the mountains to pass away ˹like clouds of dust˺, and you will see the earth as a levelled plain, and WE will gather them and not leave behind from them anyone.

And they will be presented before your Lord in rows, ˹and HE will say˺, You have certainly come to US just as WE created you the first time. But you claimed that WE would never make for you an appointment.

And the record ˹of deeds˺ will be placed ˹open˺, and you will see the criminals fearful of that within it, and they will say, Oh, woe to us! What sort of Book is this that leaves neither a small thing nor a big thing, but has recorded it with numbers! And they will find all that they did, placed before them. And your Lord does injustice to no one.

Sheikh Uthaymīn (may ALLĀH have mercy on him) said:

"It is benefiting for man to seek assistance with ALLĀH in every matter, even small matters like, leaving to and from a place, eating, drinking and wearing ones clothes. So that with this, he can fulfil his need and worship his Lord. Seeking assistance is from the acts of worship and if the slave seeks assistance from his Lord, HE (ALLĀH) will facilitate the matter for him and make it easy."

Jannah (Paradise) is great, none will gain it except the righteous servants of ALLĀH. The pleasures of Jannah are so great and pure that no heart or mind has even thought of them. The billions of humans who walked this earth each had an imagination, wishes, creativity, and desire. However, there is not a single person who has merely imagined anything similar to what is in Jannah. There are things that the eye and ear have never seen and heard. The Prophet (ﷺ) said: "ALLĀH says: ‘I have prepared for MY righteous slaves that which no eye has seen, no ear has heard and it has never crossed the mind of man. All of that is reserved, besides which all that you have known is as nothing.’ Then he recited: ‘No person knows what is kept hidden for them of joy as a reward for what they used to do’ (32:17)." {Bukhari #3072}

O ALLĀH, I ask YOU for Jannah and that which brings me closer to it of statements or actions.

AS-SIRAH AN-NABAWIYYAH (THE PROPHETIC BIOGRAPHY)

Expressing love for the Prophet ﷺ requires more than mere sentimentality. Understanding his Sīrah (biography) is crucial for depth and context.

Studying the Sīrah offers insights into his character, teachings, and struggles, fostering a deeper connection to his mission.

To start with, in shaa ALLĀH, we'll embark on a journey through a summary of the Prophet's Sīrah. Translating the work of Umar Abd al-Jabbar, "Khulasatu Nurul Yaqin," which is a summary of "Nurul Yaqin" written by Shaykh Muhammad al-Khudhary. It is a small and descriptive work on the Sīrah of the Beloved Prophet Muhammad ﷺ.

We'll also be taking snippets from Ustadh AbduRahman's series on 'Seerah of Prophet Muhammad'.

May ALLĀH make it easy.

THE FAST OF 'ĀSHŪRĀ

ALLĀH has given us a calendar with periods of time to increase our worship, reflect and renew our faith. Amidst our fast-paced lives, we need these times as a re-energizer, and a reminder to gain or carry on with momentum to strive for the Hereafter. Ramadān has passed, so have the 10 Days of Dhul Hijjah, as well as the two Eids; now we have 'Āshūrā, which is the 10th day of Muharram.

Ibn ‘Abbās (may ALLĀH be pleased with them) said: The Prophet (ﷺ) came to Madīnah and saw the Jews fasting on the day of ‘Āshūrā. He said, “What is this?” They said, “This is a good day, this is the day when ALLĀH saved the Children of Israel from their enemy and Mūsā (peace be upon him) fasted on this day.” He said, “We are closer to Mūsā than you.” So he fasted on this day and told the people to fast.” {Al-Bukhārī #1865}

So, the Prophet (ﷺ) fasted on the Day of 'Āshūrā and he ordered the people fast be performed on it. When he was asked about the virtue of fasting on it, the Prophet (ﷺ) said, “Fasting the day of ‘Ashoora I hope ALLĀH will expiate thereby for the year that came before it.” {Muslim #1162}

However, after that, he (ﷺ) commanded that the Muslims should be different from the Jews by fasting the tenth and the day before it, which is the ninth or the day after it, which is the eleventh.

Ibn 'Abbās (may ALLĀH be pleased with them) quoted the Prophet (ﷺ) as saying, “If I live next year, I shall also fast on the 9th day.” {Musnad Aḥmad #1971}

Imam Ahmad (may ALLĀH have mercy on him) said: "Whoever wants to fast 'Āshūrā should fast on the ninth and the tenth, unless there is some uncertainty about the months, in which case he should fast for three days." {Al-Mughni, 4/441}

Ibn Hajar (may ALLĀH have mercy on him)said: “The fast of Āshūrā has three levels: the lowest is to fast one day, the next is to fast the ninth day along with it, and the next is to fast the ninth, tenth, and eleventh days. ALLĀH knows best.”  {Fath al-Bari, 1896}

May ALLĀH make it easy for us to fulfill this Prophetic tradition.

Abu Hatim ar-Razi (may ALLĀH have mercy on him) said:

"Probing and seeking the faults of others is from the branches of hypocrisy just like thinking good of others is from the branches of faith. The intelligent one always has a good opinion of his brothers, and keeps his grief and sadness to himself. As for the ignorant one, he has evil opinion of his brothers and does not think about his crimes and distress."

O SISTER... WHO ARE YOU?

The following is a heartfelt poem and a gentle reminder to the Muslim woman of her noble origin, deep roots, and clear identity. It calls her to reflect on who she truly is, to stand firm between two paths, and to hold fast to modesty, faith, and honor amidst the noise of modern doubt and distraction.

The poet says:

أُخْنَاهُ لَسْتِ بِنَبْتٍ لا جُذُورَ لَهُ
O noble sister, you are not a plant without roots.

وَلَسْتِ مَقْطُوعَةً مَجْهُولَةَ النَّسَبِ
Neither are you cut off, with unknown lineage.

فَلَا تُبَالِي بِمَا يُلْقُونَ مِنْ شُبَةٍ
So do not pay attention to the doubts they (the doubters) cast.

وَعِنْدَكِ الْعَقْلُ إِنْ تَدْعِيهِ يَسْتَجِبِ
While you have intellect, if summoned, it will respond.

سَلِيهِ مَنْ أَنَا؟ مَنْ أَهْلِي؟ لِمَنْ نَسَبِي
Ask it: Who am I? Who are my people? To whom do I belong?

لِلْغَرْبِ أَمْ أَنَا لِلإِسْلَامِ، وَالْعَرَبِ
˹Do I belong˺ to the West? Or to Islām and the Arabs?

هُمَا سَبيلانِ يَا أُخْتَاهُ مَا لَهُمَا
They are two paths, O my sister, with no third.

مِنْ ثَالِثٍ فَاكْسَبِي خَيْرًا أَوْ اكْتَسَبِي
So gain goodness ˹by adhering to the path of Islām˺ or bear the consequences ˹of adhering to other than it˺.

صُونِي حَيَاءَكِ صُونِي الْعِرْضَ لَا تَهِنِي
Preserve your modesty, preserve your honor, do not falter!

وَصَابِرِي وَاصْبِرِي للَّهِ وَاحْتَسِبي
And endure, be patient for the sake of ALLĀH, and seek the reward.

O ALLĀH! Keep the daughters of the Muslims firm upon YOUR religion, adorn them with modesty and chastity, and make them guides who are rightly guided, neither astray nor leading others astray. Aamīn

BLESSINGS IN SHARING FOOD WITH OTHERS

Jabir (may ALLĀH be pleased with him) reported: The Messenger of ALLĀH (ﷺ) said,

Put your trust in ALLĀH and leave all matters to HIM after exerting every effort within your capability. Do your part, then leave the rest to HIM, for indeed, Trust in ALLĀH, but tie your camel!

Acknowledge that your forelock is in HIS Hands and that HE does as HE wills, that HIS will is forever executed and that HE is just in all that HE decrees.

When you turn to HIM in supplication, do so with unwavering faith in HIS wisdom and power. Believe with certainty that ALLĀH will always choose what is best for you.

Sometimes, it may be in your favour; and at other times, a disappointment. But know with full conviction that whatever ALLĀH decides is ultimately the best for you, as the Prophet (ﷺ) said: "I am amazed by the believer. Verily, ALLĀH does not decree anything for the believers except what is good for them." {Aḥmad #12906}

Benefits 35 & 36: REGARDING THE PROHIBITION ON SPEAKING DURING FRIDAY SERMON

First: If someone among the attendees ˹of the Friday sermon˺ speaks, it is permissible to silence them through a gesture. Anas (may ALLĀH be pleased with him) narrated: "While the Messenger of ALLĀH ﷺ was standing one day delivering a sermon on the pulpit, a man stood up and said: 'When will the Hour be established, O Prophet of ALLĀH?' He (ﷺ) remained silent, and the people gestured to him (the man) to sit down, but he refused..." (¹)

I (Abū Mālik) say: This also applies to responding to someone who greets you during the sermon; it should only be done through a gesture.

Second: Speaking to the Imām (the preacher) during the sermon is permissible when there is a need, whether one initiates the conversation or responds to the Imām. In the hadith of Anas (may ALLĀH be pleased with him), he narrated: "A Bedouin man came to the Messenger of ALLĀH ﷺ while he was delivering the Friday sermon and said, 'O Messenger of ALLĀH, the livestock have perished...'" (²).

Additionally, in the story of Sulaik Al-Ghatafani, when he entered the mosque and sat down while the Prophet ﷺ was delivering the sermon, He (The Prophet ﷺ) asked him, "Have you prayed two rak’ahs?" He (Sulaik) replied, "No." He (the Prophet ﷺ) said, "Stand up and perform two rak’ahs" (³).

THE SIGNS OF ALLĀH IN THE HEAVENS AND THE EARTH

Here ALLĀH tells of HIS perfect might and power in HIS creation and subjugation of all things.

أَوَلَمْ يَرَ الَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا
Have not those who disbelieve known,

means, those who deny HIS Divine nature and worship others instead of HIM, do they not realize that ALLĀH is the One Who is Independent in HIS powers of creation and is running the affairs of all things with absolute power. So how can it be appropriate to worship anything else beside HIM or to associate others in worship with HIM!

أَنَّ السَّمَاوَاتِ وَالاَْرْضَ كَانَتَا رَتْقًا فَفَتَقْنَاهُمَا
known that the heavens and the earth were joined together as one united piece, then WE parted them!

Do they not see that the heavens and the earth were joined together, i.e. in the beginning they were all one piece, attached to one another and piled up on top of one another, then HE separated them from one another, and made the heavens seven and the earth seven, placing the air between the earth and the lowest heaven. Then HE caused rain to fall from the sky and vegetation to grow from the earth.

HE says:

وَجَعَلْنَا مِنَ الْمَاء كُلَّ شَيْءٍ حَيٍّ أَفَلَ يُوْمِنُونَ
And WE have made from water every living thing. Will they not then believe!

meaning, they see with their own eyes how creation develops step by step. All of that is proof of the existence of the Creator Who is in control of all things and is able to do whatever HE wills.

Sufyan Ath-Thawri narrated from his father from Ikrimah that Ibn Abbas was asked; "Did the night come first or the day?"

He said, "Do you think that when the heavens and the earth were joined together, there was anything between them except darkness! Thus you may know that the night came before the day.

Invite to the way of your Lord (i.e., Islām) with wisdom and good instruction, and argue with them in a way that is best. Indeed, your Lord is most knowing of who has strayed from HIS way, and HE is most knowing of who is ˹rightly˺ guided.

And if you punish ˹an enemy, O believers˺, punish with an equivalent of that with which you were harmed. But if you are patient - it is better for those who are patient.

THE NAMES OF ISLAMIC MONTHS AND THEIR MEANINGS

In a small book collected by Shaykh Alam ad-Din As-Sakhawi, entitled, Al-Mashhur fi Asma' Al-Ayam wash-Shuhur, he mentioned that;

Muharram: is so named because it is a sacred month. To me, it was so named to emphasize its sacredness. This is because the Arabs would switch it around. One year they would say it was a sacred month, the following year they would say that it was not.

The author said, "...and
Safar: is so named because they used to leave their homes during that month for fighting and traveling. When saying 'Safir' a place, it means to leave it...

Rabi Al-Awwal: is called that because they used to do Irtiba in it, that is to maintain one's property...

and Rabi Al-Akhir, was so named for the same reasons.

Jumada: is called that because the water would dry up (Jamud) then....They say Jumada Al-Uwla and Al-Awwal, or Jumada Al-Akhar or Al-Akhirah.

Rajab: comes from Tarjib, meaning to honor.

Sha'bān: because the tribes would separate and return to their homes.

Ramaḍān: was so named because of the severity of the Ramda' - that is - the heat, and they say that the branch Ramadat when it is thirsty... And the saying that it is a Name of ALLĀH is a mistake, for there is no proof or support for that."

I (Ibn Kathir) said: "A hadith has been reported about it; however, it is weak, and I explained it at the beginning of the Book of Fasting."

Shawwāl: is derived from "shālat al-ibil bi-adhnābihā liṭ-ṭirāq" (the camels raised their tails for mating)...

Al-Qa'dah: with the fatha on the qāf, I said: and also with kasrah (Al-Qi'dah) is named so because of their sitting during it from fighting and traveling...

Al-Ḥijjah: With the kasrah on the ḥā, I said: and with the fatha (Al-Hajjāh), so named because they perform Hajj in it...

And enter among MY ˹righteous˺ servants,

And enter MY Paradise.

THE VIRTUE OF THE MONTH OF ALLĀH, AL-MUHARRAM

Abu Hurayrah said that ALLAH'S Messenger (ﷺ) said, "The best fast after Ramadān is in the month of ALLĀH, al-Muharram, and the best prayer after the obligatory one is the night prayer."

In another narration, "The prayer in the middle of the night." {Muslim #1163}

This hadith is evidence for the virtue of fasting in the Month of ALLĀH, al-Muharram, and that its virtue follows the virtue of the month of Ramadān. The virtue of fasting during it comes from the virtue of its time and the greatness of the reward for acts done during it and because fasting is one of the greatest actions with ALLĀH, the Most High. It is also evidence that voluntary salah in the middle of the night is better than voluntary şalah in the daytime.

The Month of ALLĀH, al-Muharram, is the month which begins the hijrī year. It is one of the sacred months which ALLĀH mentioned in HIS Book. The Most High said,

إِنَّ عِدَّةَ الشُّهُورِ عِنْدَ اللَّهِ اثْنَا عَشَرَ شَهْرًا فِي كِتَابِ اللهِ يَوْمَ خَلَقَ السَّمَاوَاتِ وَالْأَرْضَ مِنْهَا أَرْبَعَةٌ حُرُمٌ ذَلِكَ الدِّينُ الْقَيِّمُ فَلَا تَظْلِمُوا فِيهِنَّ أَنْفُسَكُمْ
"Verily, the number of months with ALLĀH is twelve, so it was ordained by ALLĀH on the day when HE created the heavens and the earth; of which four are sacred. That is the right religion, so do not wrong yourselves therein." {At-Tawbah: Verse 36}

Abū Bakrah (may ALLĀH be pleased with him) said that the Prophet (ﷺ) said, "...The year is twelve months, from them four are sacred; three are consecutive: Dhul-Qa'dah, Dhul-Hijjah and al-Muharram, and Rajab of Mudar which is between Jumādā and Sha'ban." {Al-Bukhārī #4662 and Muslim #1679}

ALLĀH, the Most High, attached this month to HIMSELF to show its attached honor and greatness. It is not authentic that the Prophet (ﷺ) attached any month to ALLĀH, the Most High, except al-Muharram. It is called al-Muharram to confirm its sacredness because the Arabs used to switch it around, treating it as sacred one year and not others.

The Most High's statement,

فَلَا تَظْلِمُوا فِيهِنَّ أَنْفُسَكُمْ
So do not wrong yourselves therein, means: in these sacred months, because sins in them are intensified and more serious than in other months.

Ibn 'Abbas (may ALLĀH be pleased with them) said: "Indeed, ALLĀH made sins in them greater, as well as righteous deeds and their rewards greater." {Ibn Jarir 10/126}

Qatādah said: "Indeed, wrong-doing in the sacred months is a greater offense and sin than wrong-doing in other than them; though wrong-doing in every situation is great. But ALLĀH enhances what HE wills." {Ibn Jarir 10/127}

Included in wrong-doing is: a person wronging himself by associating partners with ALLĀH, the Most High, or by abandoning obligations, committing prohibitions, being careless regarding salāh or failing to attend Jumu'ah and congregational prayers.

Shaykh ibn Baz (may ALLĀH have mercy on him) said:

"When the need ˹you have˺ is delayed ˹from being fulfilled˺, don't blame your Lord.

"Don’t say: Why, why ˹haven’t you answered my du'a˺ my Lord?!

"Rather, it’s upon you to return back to yourself and take account of yourself, for indeed your Lord is All-Wise and All-Knowing.

"Therefore, return back to yourself and look. Perhaps you have something with you from the sins and the acts of disobedience which is the reason for the delay in the answer ˹for your du'a˺."
