Ramadan Day 11

“A Book We have sent down to you so that you may bring forth mankind from the darkness into the light.” (Qur’an 14:1)

﷽ 

Ramadan Day 11: Parents are Responsible for Teaching Their Children.

A gentle reminder to those of you going shopping in Ramadan or night bazaars for food.

If you have children that you bring with them I want you to give your children some notes (some money)

When you see people who are in need and they are obviously destitute encourage your children to give them the money.

This insh’Allah can teach the children several important points.

1) Not to be selfish.
2) To think of others.
3) To earn the reward of giving in Ramadan.
4) That they are part of a human family in which the poor and the destitute have rights over those whom Allah’ has favoured with more wealth
or abundance.

*Heart health contentment and love with Allah*
Factors that contribute to the servant’s love to his lord:
Knowing Allah: and this can be achieved by contemplating his creation.
Benevolence: humans by nature love those who are good to them, so knowing the blessings of Allah upon us, will increase our love for him.

True love of Allah will appear after:
Cutting attachment to the world and the love of other than Allah
Avoiding sins
Constantly and zealous remembrance of Allah
Finding joy and pleasure being in seclusion to pray to Allah and recite his book
Enjoying worship and not making it a burden
Sitting with people who love Allah and picking the fruits of their speech.

*Sirat and reckoning* (The so called bridge over hellfire)
Sirat (path) is not a bridge on top of hell as many claimed, Allah informs us to pray:

“Guide us to the straight path.” (Qur’an 1:6)

This path is the religion of Allah, and whatever is mentioned in some narrations that Sirat is a thin bridge and people contrast in crossing it is all a metaphor about the religion

See the Hadith (Ibn Mas’ud reported God’s messenger as saying, “God has propounded as a parable a straight path on the sides of which are walls with open doors over which curtains are hanging down. At the top of the path there is one who calls, ‘Go straight on the path and do not follow an irregular course.’ Above that one is another who calls out as often as anyone tries to open any of those doors, ‘Woe to you! do not open it, for if you open it you will go through it.’” He then interpreted it telling that the path is Islam, the open doors are the things God has forbidden, the curtains hanging down are the limits God has set, the crier at the top of the path is the Qur’an, and the one above him is God’s monitor in every believer’s heart.)

Sources: (https://sunnah.com/mishkat:191) & (https://www.abuaminaelias.com/dailyhadithonline/2022/07/20/parable-sirat-al-mustaqeem/)

Ibn Katheer mentioned some chains of narrations and said: the chain is good and authentic, also with Tirmithi, Ahmed, Al Hakem, Nisa’i, Ibn Jareer, Ibn Al Munthir, Abi Shaykh, Ibn Mardaweih, and Baihaqi in “Shu’ab Al Iman”

I mentioned the authenticity just because Albani says there is no basis to the Hadith which is wrong, and the information is from commentary to (The poem ‘Ghayat Al Murad’ by Imam Noor Ad-Deen Assalemi May Allah have mercy on him by Shaykh Ahmed Al Khalili (h)

We also believe that reckoning is not counting like the counting of humans, but counting is Showing the deeds good and evil to people in the day of judgment.

To read more on this please see:

*Wet dreams when fasting*
Firstly we should make it clear that consciously masturbating breaks the fast and obligates a heavy atonement which is to fast two months.

But in the case if someone woke up to wet dreams, then they would have to hasten to perform Ghusl and nothing is on him. Meaning the person does not make up any days of fasting. The pen is lifted from one while in the state of dreaming.

Heart Soothing Tarwih prayer in Ramadan.

May Allah (swt) Guide the Ummah.

May Allah (swt) Forgive the Ummah!

Ramadan Day 8

“We send down the Quran as a healing and mercy for the believers, but it only increases the wrongdoers in loss.” (Qur’an 17:82)

﷽ 

Ramadan Day 8: The Social Benefit where people are more charitable in assisting those in need.

*Heart health Remembering Allah*
“O believers! Always remember Allah often.” (Qur’an 33:41)

It’s the worship that’s not bound by time or conditions, and from the forms of remembrance:
Reciting the Qur’an
Prayers
Seeking knowledge
Mentioning Allah (mentioning Allah in the morning أذكار الصباح, mentioning Allah at the evening أذكار المساء, mentioning Allah after every prayer, mentioning Allah before sleeping…etc)

Allah’s remembrance has many benefits, some of them are:
Alienating the devil and the forces of darkness.
Removes worries and sadness
Strengthening the heart
Planting the love of Allah in the heart
Erases sins
A reason for the descendance of mercy
Keeps the tongue busy from backbiting and gossip
Take the heart away from toughness and hypocrisy.

*Muhammed is the messenger of Allah*
“Muhammed is not the father of any of your men, but is the Messenger of Allah and the seal of the prophets. And Allah has ˹perfect˺ knowledge of all things.” (Qur’an 33:40)

We should believe that Muhammed (saw) is the final Messenger of Allah (swt). And that he is the best of all prophets. We can believe all the prophets as a whole, but we should still believe in Muhammed (saw)by name, as this is a fundamental in the religion of Islam.

May Allahs peace and blessings be upon him.

*The Harm is Removed*
The third of the five comprehensive rules. Its explanation is that every harm or damage is eliminated or prevented in Islam.

Islam came to protect the five necessities, which are religion, life, mind, wealth and lineage, for example.

Jihad protects religion
Prohibition of unlawful killing and suicide protects life
Prohibition of Alcohol protects the mind
Prohibition of stealing protects wealth
Prohibition of fornicating protects lineage

and so are the other things that cause harm.

Proof: The hadith: (There is no harm or return of harm), and many verses from the Qur’an like:

“No mother should be harmed through her child.” (Qur’an 2:233)

Sources: ( Musnad Al Rabi’i 692- ‘Abū Ubayda narrated from Jābir ‘Ibn Zayd that the Prophet, ﷺ, said: “Let him who believes in Allah and the last day, speak only good or keep quiet and do no harm to his neighbor”)

It was narrated from ‘Ubadah bin Samit that the Messenger of Allah (saw) ruled:

“There should be neither harming nor reciprocating harm.”

Source: (https://sunnah.com/ibnmajah:2340) -chain of transmission is weak but the matn is sound based upon the general principles of Islam.

Beautiful call to prayer…

May Allah (swt) Guide the Ummah.

May Allah (swt) Forgive the Ummah

Ramadan Day 5

“Indeed, ˹it is˺ We ˹Who˺ sent this ˹Quran˺ down on the Night of Glory.” (Qur’an 97:1)

﷽ 

The Spiritual Benefits of Ramadan.

*5th of Ramadan*
——————————–
*Heart Health Hope and Fear*


“They fear a Day when hearts and eyes will tremble.” (Qur’an 24:37)


Fear is one of the attributes of the  righteous in the Qur’an, and it’s the pain in the heart that’s caused by expecting harm in the future.

“Say, ˹O Prophet, that Allah says,˺ “O My servants who have exceeded the limits against their souls! Do not lose hope in Allah’s mercy, for Allah certainly forgives all sins. He is indeed the All-Forgiving, Most Merciful.” (Qur’an 39:53)


Hope is the comfort in the heart caused by expecting something loved by it.

If fear overwhelmed hope, the servant will lose hope in Allah (And do not lose hope in the mercy of Allah, for no one loses hope in Allah’s mercy except those with no faith).

In contrast, if hope overwhelmed fear, the servant will guarantee paradise for himself.

“Neither by your wishes nor those of the People of the Book! Whoever commits evil will be rewarded accordingly, and they will find no protector or helper besides Allah.” (Qur’an 4:123)

So the Muslim should try to keep the balance between these two forces, and if we take a look at the Salaf, they gave the best examples of this, here is Imam Abu Hamza Ashari (may Allah have mercy on him) describing the companions in his famous speech in Medina after freeing it from the injustice of Bani Umayah: (Were the companions of the prophet peace be upon him anything but youth, by Allah they were youth, perfect in their youth, their eyes are hidden from evil, their feet are slow to falsehood, weak from worship, hungry from staying late, when one of them goes through a verse that mentions paradise he cries in eagerness to it, and if he goes through a verse mentioning hell, he sobbed as if the roaring of hell is in his ears…TO THE END OF HIS SPEACH)

*The attributes of essence*
Allah’s attributes can be described as attributes of Dhat (essence) and attributes of Fi’l (action).

The attributes of essence are the attributes that Allah cannot be described by with their opposites.

Examples: Knowledge, so we can’t say Allah is ignorant. Vision so we can’t say Allah is blind. Eternal so we can’t say Allah is created ‘ and so on.

We should know that the attributes of essence are Allah him self and not something other than Allah.

How?


We say Allah is all seeing in his essence, so he doesn’t need a tool to see like humans that need eyes, if we say that Allah is all seeing with something else that would mean Allah is dependent on that thing, this will also mean that Allah has parts which contradicts the absolute oneness.

In conclusion, the attributes of essence are the essence of Allah Subhanahu Wata’ala

*Ghusl from impurity*
Ghusl is an important topic in Fiqh, it’s like Wudu’ but it should be done after ejaculation (sleeping or awake), sexual intercourse or menstruation for women.

If someone had this and didn’t perform Ghusl then he is in a state of major Hadath, and in this state no prayer or fasting is accepted, and one can not touch a Mushaf or enter a mosque.

How to perform Ghusl:
1- Intention
2- Washing the private part(s)
3- Wash between the naval and the knee, and clean any filth in the body
4- Perform normal ablution while delaying the feet
5- Wash the entire body with water (with force like rubbing or shower) starting from the top to The bottom and the right before the left
6- Wash the feet

Other notes:
From the sunna is saying Basmalah, passing urine before Ghusl, performing ablution before Ghusl, starting from the top to bottom and right to left. Water should reach every piece of hair in Ghusl.

May Allah (swt) bless this youth for his beautiful recitation of the glorious Qur’an.

May Allah (swt) Guide the Ummah.

May Allah (swt) Forgive the Ummah

Ramadan Day 3

O believers! Fasting is prescribed for you—as it was for those before you—so perhaps you will become mindful ˹of Allah˺ (Qur’an 2:183)

﷽ 

Tips for Ramadan.

Nasiha (نصيحة) is an Arabic word that means “advice”, “recommendation”, or “sincerity”.

Are you nursing a grudge towards another person or perhaps they are nursing a grudge towards you?

This is some nasiha from Prima Qur’an for you. However, this du’a will only be effective if you are sincere in saying it.

When you make du’a say to Allah (swt) ‘Oh Allah all the good and the khayer that you have given to me I ask of you to also give [this person] but give [this person] more.

Having these things in your heart is weight that you need to release and a negative energy that you simply do not need. Release it!

Maa sha Allah! Beautiful video of a youth leading the people for Tarwih prayer in Ramadan.

People standing attentively to listening to the Created Word of Allah.

*3rd day of Ramadan*
——————————–
*Heart Health Taqwa (righteousness)*
Taqwa is being mindful of Allah in private and in public.
There are three levels of Taqwa:
1- Doing the bare minimum to avoid hell, by avoiding Shirk and major sins.
2- Avoiding any sins even minor ones.
3- Avoiding anything that can distract you from mentioning Allah.

May Allah grant us the highest level of Taqwa.

*Affirming that Allah has no like, peer or equal*
Allah exalted is sanctified from any like, peer or equal.
A like (shibh شبه): is someone who is similar in most attributes.
A peer (nid ند): is the equal and opposite.
An equal (mathal مثل): Is someone who is similar in all attributes.

So Allah should not be assigned any attributes from the attributes of creatures, (There is nothing like Him, for He ˹alone˺ is the All-Hearing, All-Seeing.)

Some might say: people are hearing and Allah is hearing, people see and Allah sees…etc, and the answer to this is firstly: The attributes of Allah are his essence while humans need tools to have them, Allah’s attributes are absolute, human attributes are limited. so the use of similar word to describe the attributes of Allah and humans doesn’t make them the same.

*Perfecting Wudu’*
The Blessed Prophet (saw) said: “No faith for one without prayer, and no prayer with no Wudu”, and no fasting without stopping the prohibitions of Allah”

Based on this we see that Wudu’ is an important subject for a Muslim, if the Wudu’ is false then the prayer is false, so we must perfect our Wudu’ to secure our prayer, here are some important notes:
– When washing the face, the water should reach the entire face, from the hair line to the chin, and from the ear to the other ear, with wetting the beard
– When washing the arm it should reach the whole arm including the elbow, so make sure the elbow is washed as well.
– When washing the foot make sure that the water reaches all sides of the foot, in the Hadith: (run through your toes before they are cleaned with nails of fire)

There are more notes in Wudu’, but these are important ones as they are in the pillars of Wudu’ in addition to wiping the head.

and Allah knows best 

🌹

May Allah (swt) Guide the Ummah.

May Allah (swt) Forgive the Ummah
