Who is the fasting person?

Written by Abdullah Jallow on . Posted in Da'wah - Calling To Islam, Morals and Manners - 'Akhlaaq', Worship - 'Ibaadah'.

Imaam Ibnul Qayyim (rahimahullaah) said:

The fasting person is the one whose limbs abstain from sins; his tongue (abstains) from lying, lewdness and false speech; his stomach (abstains) from food and drink and his private parts (abstain) from obscenity. When he speaks, he does not speak with what harms his fasting and when he acts he does not do what corrupts his fasting. All his speech comes out useful and righteous.

Likewise his actions are of the status of that scent that is smelled by the one who sits with the seller of musk, and likewise the one who sits with the fasting person is benefited by sitting with him and is saved from false speech, lies, evil deeds and oppression. This is the legislated fasting and not merely abstaining from food and drink.[1] And it is (reported) in the authentic hadeeth: ”Whoever does not give up lying speech (false statements) and acting on those lies and evil actions etc., Allaah is not in need of his leaving his food and drink.” [2]

Shaykh Fawzaan: Advice regarding parking cars…

Written by Amjad Khan on . Posted in Articles, Da'wah - Calling To Islam, Fatawa-Rulings, Morals and Manners - 'Akhlaaq'.

We have said to you more than once; do not park your cars in front of people’s gates/doors, people want to go in and out and carry things. So do not harm the people; May Allah reward you with good. It’s not a must that you park your car at the mosque; park it in (another) place, even if it is far from the mosque. Do not harm anyone and do not annoy or irritate anyone. (By parking in front of their drives,gates etc)

Shaykh Fawzaan: What are the good and desired actions that are sought after in the blessed month of Ramadhaan?

Written by Amjad Khan on . Posted in Articles, Fatawa-Rulings, Morals and Manners - 'Akhlaaq', Seeking Knowledge, Worship - 'Ibaadah'.

Shaykh Saalih Al Fawzaan hathidahullah was asked:

 

Question:

What are the good and desired actions that are sought after in the blessed month of Ramadhaan?

 

Answer:

The good and desired actions in Ramadhaan are many. The most important of them is to uphold the performance of that which Allah has obligated in Ramadhaan and other than Ramadhaan; such as praying and fasting, then increasing upon that to the supererogatory actions; from them: the recitation of the quran, the taraweeh prayers, tahajjud, (giving of) charity, i’tikaaf and increasing upon the remembrance (of Allah), the utterance of subhaanAllah, laa ilaaha illAllah, Allahu Akbar and sitting in the masjid for worship, and protecting the fast from that which will nullify it or that which will make it deficient of forbidden detestable actions and statements.

Saeed Bin Jubayr (rahimahullaah) said: I said to Ibn Abbaas (radiyallaahu-anhumaa): ”Should I command the (Muslim) Ruler with good and forbid him from evil?” He (Ibn Abbaas) said: ”If you fear that he will kill you, then do not (do so).” I repeated the same (question), so he (Ibn Abbaas) repeated the same (answer). Then I repeated the same (question), so he (Ibn Abbaas) repeated the same (answer) and said: ”If you have to do that, then it should be between you and him (i.e. in private).” [Jaami-ul Uloom Wal-Hikam: page:338]

Our Salaf-Fudayl Ibn Iyaad ”What do we recognise?”

Written by Abdullah Jallow on . Posted in Da'wah - Calling To Islam, Morals and Manners - 'Akhlaaq', The Salaf - Pious Predecessors, Worship - 'Ibaadah'.

Fudayl Ibn Iyaad (rahimahullaah) said:

”We do not recognize one (merely) due to his accomplishment of a lot of prayers and fasting; rather what is recognizable to us are generosity, guilelessness and being good natured, and to give sincere advice to the Ummah.” [Jaami-ul Uloom Wal-Hikam: Page: 91]
