Hadeeth -[The Night Prayer: A (Continuous) Practice of The Pious of old]

Written by Salafi Dawah Manchester on . Posted in Must Read, Purification of The Soul, Worship - 'Ibaadah'.

Hadeeth:

“You should perform the Night Prayer, for indeed it is the (continuous) practice of the righteous (people) who were before you; it draws (you) close to your Lord, expiates evil deeds and stops (you) from sins.

Some Virtues of the Asr Prayer and a Warning against Performing It When Its Time Period Elapses Without a Valid Sharia Excuse

Written by Salafi Dawah Manchester on . Posted in Salaah - Prayer, Scholars of Islam, Worship - 'Ibaadah'.

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

The Prophet [sallal-laahu-alayhi-wasallam] said, ‘’Whoever misses the Asr prayer [i.e. intentionally] until its time elapses, it is as if he has lost his family and his wealth’’. [Ref 1]

Shaikh Muhammad Baazmool [may Allaah preserve him] said: Why is the Asr prayer specifically mentioned and not the other prayers? The scholars say that perhaps the wisdom behind this is because the time of Asr is when the people are very busy in trade and roaming about in the markets. At present -سبحان الله – the time of Asr prayer is the hardest time for those engaged in professional occupations and the workers, for they return and relax in their houses and do not wake up until the time of Asr prayer elapses, so they are lackadaisical in this affair..

The Asr Prayer is great in the Sight of Allaah.  Allaah (The Blessed and Exalted) said:

[حَافِظُوا عَلَى الصَّلَوَاتِ وَالصَّلَاةِ الْوُسْطَىٰ وَقُومُوا لِلَّهِ قَانِتِينَ – Guard strictly (five obligatory) As-Salawat (the prayers) especially the Salaatul Wustaa (middle Salaah – the best prayer). And stand before Allah with obedience] [Ref 2]

The scholars say that the meaning of Salaatul Wustaa is the Asr prayer. It has been reported from the Messenger [sallal-laahu-alayhi-wasallam] that on the day of Al Ahzaab – the day of the battle of Al Khandaq when the Arab tribes gathered to fight the Muslims – he said: ”O Allaah! Fill their [i.e. the infidels] houses and graves with fire, as they busied us so much that we did not perform the middle Salat [(prayer)- i.e. Asr prayer] till the sun had set.’’ [Ref 3]

The Asr prayer also has other specific virtues. The scholars say that it is the time in which the angels of the night and the angels of the day get together- the angels who accompany or guard the children of Aadam. There are two time periods in which the angels gather – the angels of the day time get together at the time of Fajr and accompany the children of Aadam from Fajr to Asr. And at Asr time, the angels of the night take over and accompany the children of Aadam from Maghrib to Ishaa, and at Fajr they change shifts. The proof of this is the hadeeth reported by Abu Hurairah that the Messenger of Allaah [sallal-laahu-alayhi-wasallam] said: ‘’Angels come to you in succession by night and day, and all of them get together at the time of Fajr and Asr prayers. Those who have passed the night with you [or stayed with you] ascend [to the heaven] and Allaah asks them, though He knows everything about you, ‘’In what state did you leave my slaves?’’ The angels reply: ‘’When we left them, they were offering Salat (prayer) and when we reached them, they were offering Salat.’’ [Ref 4]

Allaah [Glorified Be He and Free is He from all imperfections] said about the Fajr prayer:

[وَقُرْآنَ الْفَجْرِ ۖ إِنَّ قُرْآنَ الْفَجْرِ كَانَ مَشْهُودًا   – And recite the Qur’an in the early dawn (i.e. the morning prayer). Verily, the recitation of the Qur’an in the early dawn is ever witnessed (attended by the angels in charge of mankind of the day and the night). [Ref 5]

The scholars say that the reason behind this is because it (i.e. Fajr time) is the time in which the angels of the night and the angels of the daytime get together and likewise at the time of Asr Salaah, for they are two time periods in which the angels change shifts in order to accompany the children of Aadam. Therefore, a Muslim should be eager to perform the Asr prayer at its correct time and if he is preoccupied (i.e. without a valid shariah excuse) until its time elapses, then it is as if he has lost all his family and wealth.

Fajr Is Still Very Early! -[Fiqh Derived From a Hadeeth About Using An (Alarm) Clock to Help Us Wake Up etc]

Written by Salafi Dawah Manchester on . Posted in Islamic Jurisprudence - 'Fiqh', Scholars of Islam, Worship - 'Ibaadah'.

It is reported in a hadeeth in Muwatta Imaam Maalik that the Messenger (sallal laahu alayhi wasallam) travelled by night on the way back from khaybar and towards the end of the night he stopped for a rest and said to Bilaal (radiyallaahu-anhu), “(Stay awake) to watch out for the morning (prayer) for us…..’’ [Ref 1]

Shaikh Muhammad Baazmool  (may Allaah preserve him) said, “What is the evidence behind the permissibility for a person -before he (or she) sleeps- to watch out for the time by way of (an alarm) clock in order to be notified of (the time of the Salaah)? The evidence is that the Messenger (sallal-laahu-alayhi-wasallam) sought from Bilaal (radiyallaahu-anhu) to guard the time for them, saying,”(Stay awake) to watch out for the morning (prayer) for us”. [Ref 2]

A Hadeeth Regarding the Grave Danger of Passing Judgements Based On Ignorance or Desires

Written by Abdullah Jallow on . Posted in Fatawa-Rulings, Worship - 'Ibaadah'.

Buraydah narrated from his father, who narrated that the Prophet (sallal-laahu-alayhi-wasallam) said:

”Judges are of three types, one of whom will go to Paradise and two to Hell. A man who knows the truth and judges with it will enter paradise; a man who knows the truth but judges with the opposite of it will enter the fire, and a man who judges for the people based on ignorance will enter the fire.’’

[THis Hadeeth was reported by Imaam Abu Dawud (rahimahullaah)- Hadeeth Number 3573- & Imaam Albaani (rahimahullaah) declared it to be Saheeh (authentic) in his checking of Sunan Abee Dawood’ page 541. Publisher: Maktaba Al-Ma’aarif, 1st Edition, ISBN Number: 4112932]

A Command to Perform the Salaah and Spend in Charity, Before The Day In Which There Will Neither Be Mutual Bargaining Nor Befriending!

Written by Salafi Dawah Manchester on . Posted in Charity (Sadaqah), Qur'aan, Salaah - Prayer, Worship - 'Ibaadah', Zakaat.

Allaah (The Most High) said:

قُلْ لِعِبَادِيَ الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا يُقِيمُوا الصَّلَاةَ وَيُنْفِقُوا مِمَّا رَزَقْنَاهُمْ سِرًّا وَعَلَانِيَةً مِنْ قَبْلِ أَنْ يَأْتِيَ يَوْمٌ لَا بَيْعٌ فِيهِ وَلَا خِلَالٌ

Say (O Muhammad) to ‘Ibadi (My slaves) who have believed, that they should perform As-Salat (Iqamat-as-Salat), and spend in charity out of the sustenance We have given them, secretly and openly, before the coming of a Day on which there will be neither mutual bargaining nor befriending.” [Soorah Ibraaheem: Ayah 31]

That is: Say to My believing slaves whilst commanding them with that which contains the greatest (affair of) well-being for them, that they should seize this opportunity lest they are no longer able to get hold of it; [يُقِيمُوا الصَّلَاةَ  – That they should perform the prayer] outwardly (i.e. with all its pillars, obligations etc… as taught by the Messenger) and inwardly (i.e. with awareness, concentration, humility, tranquillity in their hearts etc.)

[وَيُنْفِقُوا مِمَّا رَزَقْنَاهُمْ – And spend in charity out of the sustenance We have given them]; That is: From the blessings I have bestowed upon them, whether it is a lot or little. [سِرًّا وَعَلَانِيَةً – Secretly and openly]- this includes obligatory spending such as Zakah, (also) the spending that is obligatory upon a person and recommended spending, such as optional charity and what is similar to it.

[مِنْ قَبْلِ أَنْ يَأْتِيَ يَوْمٌ لَا بَيْعٌ فِيهِ وَلَا خِلَالٌ – Before the coming of a Day on which there will be neither mutual bargaining nor befriending]; That is: (A Day on which) nothing will benefit a person nor will there be any means to reaching what has elapsed – neither through buying nor selling, and neither through an intimate friend nor a friend because every person will be sufficed with his own affairs.

Therefore, a slave (i.e. servant of Allaah) should send forth (good deeds) for himself and look to what he has sent forth for the morrow. He should examine his deeds and take himself to account before the great Reckoning (i.e. Day of Judgement).

[Tayseer Al-Kareem Ar-Rahmaan Fee Tafseer Kalaam Al-Mannaan..slightly paraphrased]

 

One of The Reasons Why the Believers Give Precedence to The Messenger (sallal-laahu-alayhi-wasallam) Over Everyone Else Amongst Mankind and Jinn

Written by Enam Ali on . Posted in Aqeedah (Creed & Belief), Worship - 'Ibaadah'.

 

Allaah (The Most High) said:

“النَّبِيُّ أَوْلَىٰ بِالْمُؤْمِنِينَ مِنْ أَنفُسِهِمْ

The Prophet is more worthy of the believers than themselves. [Al-Ahzaab. Ayah:6]

Summarised benefits:

The closest thing a person possesses and the most important thing he has is him (or herself). However, the Messenger (sallal-laahu-alayhi-wasallam) is more worthy of person than him (or herself). That is because the Messenger (sallal-laahu-alayhi-wasallam) gave them (i.e. the creation) sincere advise, and showed them affection and compassion. There is none who shows the most mercy and compassion to the creation except that the Messenger is the greatest favour amongst the creation to the people than everyone else. That is because neither an atom’s weight of good has reached them nor an atom’s weight of evil is repelled from them, except through him (i.e. due to the message he conveyed to them from Allaah). And for this reason it is obligated on them that when the desires of their souls are in opposition to what the Messenger wants (from them), they should give precedence to what the Messenger wants (from them). They should not oppose the statement of the Messenger (sallal-laahu-alayhi-wasallam) with the statement of anyone else-regardless who that person may be-and they are to sacrifice themselves, their wealth and offspring in giving precedence to loving the Messenger (sallal-laahu-alayhi-wsallam) over the entire creation. They are not to say anything (i.e. in the religion) until he says so, nor do they put themselves forward before him.
