السلام عليكم

Inshaa Allah we will share some advice and benefits taken from tonight’s lesson on the 20th night of Safar 1434 corresponding with the 1st of January 2013, with Shaykh Hasan Marzooq Al-Banna -حفظه الله و جزاه الله خيرا-

The Shaykh -حفظه الله- said:

"Fear Allah and have Taqwa of Allah regardless of where you are, and not just when you are in the Masjid, just as the Messenger of Allah said:

“Fear Allah where ever you are”
Saheeh Al Jaami’ As Sagheer Al Albani

The Shaykh -حفظه الله-
was asked what harms and prevents a student of knowledge attaining ilm; from his answers the Shaykh said

“Bad mannerisms and laziness in acts of worship”

The Shaykh -حفظه الله- answered a question pertaining to the UK and after consultation, told the people to refer back to Al-Athariyyah and Al-Masjid As-Sunnah in London, Al Masjid As-Salafi in Birmingham and Al Markaz As-Salafi in Manchester.

A brother said I have not studied Islamic knowledge for a long time where should i start?

(Paraphasing) The Shaykh -حفظه الله-replied:

Begin with the Usool, study the likes of Al-Usool Ath-Thalaatha and Al-Qawaaidul Arba’a and Al-Usool As-Sitta, start with the small books which will strengthen and build your foundations and give you the Usool that you need.

The final benefit we will mention is that
the Shaykh -حفظه الله- said:

“The Truth is One, The Usool (of Ahlul-Sunnah) are one and they do NOT change.”

To speak or not to speak….

“Whoever believes in Allah and the Last day then let him speak good or remain silent”
Bukhaari & Muslim

And the Messenger of Allah – صلى الله عليه و سلم -said

“A good word is charity”
Saheeh Al Jaami’ As Sagheer: Al-Albani

“The majority of sins of the children of Aadam (عليه الصلاة و السلام) are because of his tongue.”
Saheeh Al Jaami’ As Sagheer: Al-Albani

Imaam An-Nawawi commented on the first hadeeth *:

This hadeeth is clear that it is befitting that you do not speak except if the speech is good and that there is a clear benefit. And when there is doubt (whether there is) a clear benefit then you do not speak.

Know that it is befitting for every person (who has reached the age of accountability and is sane) that he preserves his tongue from all speech except if the speech is clear in its benefit.

And when the benefit in speaking or leaving speech is equal; then the Sunnah is to refrain from speaking. Because it is possible that permissible speech can be swept along and become impermissible or disliked speech and this is the norm in most cases; and there is nothing that can equal safety.

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)

Entering The Toilets With A Mushaf

Written by Abdullah Jallow on . Posted in Da'wah - Calling To Islam, Fatawa-Rulings, Worship - 'Ibaadah'.

Question:

One of us carries the Mushaf (copy of the Qur’aan) in his pocket and may enter the toilets with it; what is the ruling on this? Benefit us (with an answer).

Answer:

Carrying the Mushaf in one’s pocket is permissible, however it is not permissible for a person to enter the toilets with the Mushaf; rather he should put it away in a decent place out of respect for the book of Allaah; but if he is compelled by necessity to enter (the toilets) with it, out of fear that it may get stolen; then it is permissible to leave it outside due to that necessity (that compelled him to enter the toilets).  And to Allaah belongs all success, and may peace and blessings be upon our prophet Muhammad (salla Allaahu alaihi wa sallam), his family and his companions.

Asking “Was She a Virgin?” – The Permanent Committee of Scholars

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

In The Name of Allaah, The Most Merciful, The Bestower of Mercy

Question:

There are some people who ask the husband the morning after having sexual relations with his wife about the virginity of his wife (the bride) saying : “Did you find your wife to be a virgin or not?” Is it permissible for him to respond to this question, even if the questioner was one of the man’s or the woman’s parents?

Answer:

It is neither permissible to ask this question nor respond to it, rather he must close the door to this affair in order to preserve the private affairs of the Muslims.  And to Allaah belongs all success, and may peace and blessings be upon our prophet Muhammad (salla Allaahu alaihi wa sallam), his family and his companions.
