Then, there has succeeded them a posterity……

Allaah said:

فَخَلَفَ مِن بَعْدِهِمْ خَلْفٌ أَضَاعُوا الصَّلَاةَ وَاتَّبَعُوا الشَّهَوَاتِ [trans: ”Then, there has succeeded them a posterity who have neglected the prayers and have followed lusts” فَسَوْفَ يَلْقَوْنَ غَيًّا [trans: ”So they will be punished with a severe manifold punishment”[For futher details, see: Tafseer Sadi]

Imaam Ibnul Qayyim (rahimahullaah) said:

The Sahaabah and the Taabi-een explained neglect of the prayer to mean offering them outside their fixed times. And certainly neglecting them includes the meaning of abandoning them, abandoning its proper times, its obligations and pillars. Also the one who deliberately delays them beyond their fixed times is a transgressor of the limits imposed by Allaah and likewise is the one who prays them before their fixed times. [Badaa-I At-Tafseer Al-Jaami Limaa Fassarahu Al-Imaam Ibnu Qayyim Al-Jawziyyah: page: 175: Vol: 2]

Shaykh Fawzaan: Is this Supplication sufficient?

Written by abuaisha on August 7, 2012. Posted in Articles, Da'wah - Calling To Islam, Fatawa-Rulings, Islamic Jurisprudence - 'Fiqh', Worship - 'Ibaadah'.

Shaykh Fawzaan was asked:

Is this supplication considered comprehensive and sufficient over the other supplications:

‘O Allah indeed I ask you for the good which your prophet Muhammad sallallaahu alaihi wa sallam and your righteous slaves asked you for’

Answer:

This is a tremendous supplication, however it does not remove the need for the remaining supplications; rather the people supplicate with all the supplications they are aware of, increasing (in) good and he doesn’t restrict himself upon any one (supplication).

The prophet sallallaahu alaihi wa sallam did not restrict himself upon one (supplication) rather he used to supplicate with this one sometimes, this one sometimes and this one sometimes (i.e he would vary the supplications he would make).

Written by abuaisha on August 2, 2012. Posted in Articles, Fatawa-Rulings, Islamic Jurisprudence - 'Fiqh', Worship - 'Ibaadah'.

Questioner:

Is it a requirement for a person to have wudoo, for the supplication to be answered?

Answer:

It is not a condition for supplication to have wudoo; It IS worship, however there is no condition to have wudoo or to be in a state of purity.

Our Salaf–Wakee Ibnul Jarraah

Written by Abdullah Jallow on July 31, 2012. Posted in Da'wah - Calling To Islam, The Salaf - Pious Predecessors.

Narrated Yahyah Ibn Athram (rahimahullaah) who said:

I have accompanied Wakee (rahimahullaah) whilst being resident and during journeys, and he used to fast constantly and finish recitation of the Qur’aan every night. [Siyar A’laam Nubulaa: 9/142]

Yahya Bin Ayyoub (rahimahullaah) said:

It was reported to me by some of the companions of Wakee (rahimahullaah) who used to be with him that Wakee would not sleep until he read one third of the Qur’aan every night. Then he would wake up in the last third of the night and read the Mufassal of the Qur’aan (i.e. from Soorah Qaaf to Soorah An-Naas); then he would sit and sought the forgiveness of Allaah until fajr approached. [Siyar A’laam Nubulaa: 9/148-149]

Shaykh Fawzaan: Whoever worships Allah with…..

Written by abuaisha on July 20, 2012. Posted in Aqeedah (Creed & Belief), Articles, Deviated Groups, Sects and Parties, Fatawa-Rulings, Worship - 'Ibaadah'.

Shaykh Fawzaan was asked:

Question:

What is the ruling on those who say: We only worship Allah with love for him and we do not fear his punishment and we do not desire his reward?

This is a statement of the soofiyah; it is an error and refuge is sought with Allah. This is in opposition to the methodology of (all of) the Prophets (alayhimus Salaatu was Salaam).

Verily, they used to hasten on to do good deeds, and they used to call upon Us with hope and fear, and used to humble themselves before Us. [Surah Al-Anbiya’ Verse 90]

Those whom they call upon [like Isa (Jesus) – son of Maryam (Mary), Uzair (Ezra), angel] desire (for themselves) means of access to their Lord (Allah), as to which of them should be the nearest; and they [Isa (Jesus), Uzair (Ezra), angels and others] hope for His Mercy and fear His torment. Indeed the torment of your Lord is (something) to be afraid of. [Surah Al-Isra Verse 57]

Therefore, whoever worships Allah with fear only then he is a Khaarij; whoever worships Allah with hope only then he is from the murji’ah and whoever worships Allah with love only then he is a Soofi.

And (finally) whoever worships Allah with Love, Hope and Fear then he is a believer upon Tawheed.

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

Al-Allaamah Aloosee (rahimahullaah) continued…….

And amongst the traits of the people of the era of the pre-Islamic era of ignorance is that:

They used to carry out worship whilst associating the righteous people as partners to Allaah in worship. They regarded this to be an elevation of the (righteous people) which Allaah loves. Also they intended (through this worship of the righteous people) to get closer to Allaah and to attain success by seeking their intercession; because they thought that the (righteous people) were pleased with them for carrying out such acts. Indeed, the Qur’aan has informed us of this trait of theirs, and He (The Most High) said:

‘’Verily, We have sent down the Book to you (O Muhammad) in truth: So worship Allah (Alone) by doing reli-gious deeds sincerely for Allah’s sake only, (and not to show-off, and not to set up rivals with Him in worship). Surely, the religion (i.e. the worship and the obedience) is for Allah only. And those who take Auliya’ (protec-tors and helpers) besides Him (say): “We worship them only that they may bring us near to Allah.” Verily, Allah will judge between them concerning that wherein they differ. Truly, Allah guides not him who is a liar, and a disbeliever.’’ [1]
