Ramadan Day 10

“Do they not reflect upon the Quran, or are there locks on their hearts.” (Qu’ran 47:24)

﷽ 

Ramadan Day 10: Tips for Parents on Getting Children to Fast.

Dear brothers and sisters this is the 10th day of Ramadan. This means 1/3 of Ramadan will be behind us. Let us all make haste in doing what we can to make the most out of this Ramadan.

Know this dear brothers and sisters. If Allah (swt) is inspiring you to ask for something this means he wants to give you something!

Repeat this du’a again and again in this month! Allahumma inaka afuwon kareemun tuhibu alafwa faafu anaa (Oh Allah you are The Forgiver, the Generous and you Love Forgiving So Forgive Us.)

Dear brothers and sisters this is the month where we ask Allah (swt) to save us from the hellfire and all that is needed, let me repeat this ALL THAT IS NEEDED is for you to make this du’a this request ONCE and for Allah (swt) to ACCEPT IT and insh’Allah you have obtained the goal! Subhan’Allah!

*Heart Health Trusting Allah*
“So in Allah let the believers put their trust.” (Qur’an 9:51)


Trusting Allah should be in the core of a believers daily affairs. However, we should know the difference between Tawakkul توكل and Tawakul تواكل.

Tawakkul is trust in Allah, and it should be done always, for example: when someone is sick, he should do All he can to get back his health, by taking medicine, visiting doctor or avoiding pathogens, but on top of this, one must have his full trust on Allah

Tawakul is reliance on Allah without taking reason, and this is a wrong behaviour, for example: when someone is sick and says I won’t go to the doctor, I trust on Allah, this kind of thinking will literally kill him.

However, Tawakkul is a powerful idea, knowing that everything you do is nothing without Allah’s help and will

*The Weights*
“The weighing on that Day is truth. As for those whose scale will be heavy ˹with good deeds˺, ˹only˺ they will be successful.” (Qur’an 7:8)

In the day of judgment people’s deeds will be weighted, and Muslims have differed on this interpretation:

There will be a physical scale on which people’s deeds will be weighted, this is the opinion of Ash’aries and who agrees with them

Scale is just a metaphor meaning that deeds will be sorted to good and bad, as Allah doesn’t require a physical scale to know the deeds, and from the Qur’an we see that Allah describes the weights with Truth and Justice, both of them are not used to describe physical objects, and this is the opinion of our scholars and of Mu’tazilah

For more on this subject please read:

*Local customs are an authority and judge*
The fifth of the five comprehensive rules, its explanation is that established norms by members of society is a valid reference in people’s transactions, as long as they don’t contradict the legal rulings

For example: conducting a transaction without any party verbally offering their services in the way of “give and take”.

Proof: “And due to the wives is similar to what is expected of them, according to what is reasonable.” (Qur’an 2:228)

Ramadan Day 7

“The Night of Glory is better than a thousand months.” (Qur’an 97:3)

﷽ 

Ramadan Day 7: The Mental Benefits of Fasting.

7th Day of Ramadan*
——————————–
*Heart Health Struggle & Punishment of Nafs*
“As for those who struggle in Our cause, We will surely guide them along Our Way.” (Qur’an 29:69)

Nafs is the self, the soul, the inner psyche, and the struggle of Nafs (Jihad An-nafs) is to force the Nafs to do the obligations, the Sunnan, and the Nafilahs, especially when the Nafs is in a lazy/fatigued state. When The Blessed Prophet (saw) used to pray the night until his feet swells, Aisha (ra) told him: (take it easy, Allah pardoned you from All your sins), so he replies: (should I not be a thankful servant!)

After Struggle of the Nafs comes punishing the Nafs. Thus, if a Muslim struggled his Nafs but then felt his shortcomings and laziness he increases his worship to tame the Nafs. , Here is Umar Bin Al Khattab (ra), entered a garden of his and when he returned he found that the people have finished Asr prayer, so he donated his garden for the sake Allah.

Practically people can apply this, whenever someone feels shortcomings by missing prayer in Jama’a for example, he can donate some money, fast some days, or increase the number of Nafilah prayers, so that he can tame his Nafs. To make his nafs tamed for the worship of Allah The Exalted.

*Allah is not encompassed by vision*
“No vision can encompass Him, but He encompasses all vision. For He is the Most Subtle, All-Aware.” (Qur’an 6:103)

Allah is sanctified from being seen in this life or the hereafter, because there is nothing like him. His existence is not like any other beings existence. He is not in a physical place, and he can’t be described with color or visibility. Visibility cannot exist without a position, dense body described with a color, and Luminant or hit by a ray emitted by another object.

In fact, one of the reasons people cannot see Allah (swt) in this life or the next is due to his being absolutely one. Anything the mind tries to establish as one will be a multiple, or a compound unity. The human mind cannot picture absolute oneness, to do so would be to see Allah. Absolute oneness is a concept the mind can grasp but cannot envision.

Think of the concept of emptiness or nothingness. If you were asked to recline on a couch fold your hands on your chest, relax and take a deep breath in and out until you reach a calm state. Now you are told to picture or envision absolute nothingness. You are unable to do so. You will either picture or envision an all white space or an all black space. You can grasp the concept but your mind will always posit something.

Likewise you can grasp the concept of absolute oneness but given that we live in a reality where everything other than Allah (swt) is composite in some way so too our mind will picture or envision something composite, or multiple.

For more information about this topic return to the book: “The overwhelming truth”

*Things are judged by their purposes*
The second of the five comprehensive rules.
It’s explanation: legal considerations of actions are bound to their intentions not to their apparent wording. For example, if someone who is used to uttering the intention of a prayer prays Asr but accidentally utters that his intention is to pray Maghrib, then the consideration will be based on his real intention not on his wording.

The proof is what has been narrated by both Ibn ‘Abbas and ‘Umar b. al-Khattab that the Prophet (saw) said: ‘[The value of] an action depends on the intention behind it’

Ramadan Day 6

“And what will make you realize what the Night of Glory is?” (Qur’an 97:2)

﷽ 

The Physical Benefits of Fasting.

*Heart Health & Self accountability*

“O believers! Be mindful of Allah and let every soul look to what ˹deeds˺ it has sent forth for tomorrow.” (Qur’an 59:18)

Umar (May Allah be pleased with him) said: “Hold yourself accountable before you are held accountable, and weight your deeds before they are weighted, and be ready for the great show.”

Holding yourself accountable can be:
– Before the action: ask yourself, is doing this action better than leaving it? If it was do it, if it’s the opposite then don’t do it, and if it was the former ask yourself again, am I doing this for the sake of Allah, or for the sake of this life?

After the action: you should hold yourself accountable over the obligations, is there any deficiency?, then over the prohibitions, if there were any, hasten toward a repentance, then over negligence, remedy it with mentioning Allah more, and hold yourself accountable for what your tongue says, what your ears hear and what your eyes see.

*Ascending over the throne*
“The Most Compassionate, ˹Who is˺ established on the Throne.” (Qur’an 20:5)

The throne of Allah is of the greatest creations of Allah, so when Allah described his authority, he said: (then he ascended over the throne)

But is Allah physically on top of the throne? The answer is no, as we said previously that Allah cannot be described using place, as that would mean Allah is a physical body which is impossible.

Then why did Allah use this phrasing to describe his authority?
The meaning of the word “Istiwa'” استواء is authority and ability, just like we can say for example: “The Imam ascended over the throne of Oman”, are we saying that he physically sat on the throne? or are we saying that he ruled and controlled Oman?

We use the throne to signify authority because if you control the throne you control the country, and (whereas to Allah belong the finest attributes), and because the throne of Allah is the greatest creation, if Allah owns the throne he definitely owns the rest of creation.

*Certainty is not removed by doubt*
The first of the five comprehensive rules.
It’s explanation: if someone is in some state, he doesn’t go from it to another by mere doubt and illusion. For example, if someone is sure he performed Wudu’, then he would be in a state of purity unless he is certain that he invalidated his Wudu’ by some reason like bleeding..etc

The proof is what is narrated on the authority of Ibn ‘Abbas, that the Prophet (saw) said: ‘If one has doubts in his prayer, he should not refrain from it until he hears a sound or detects an odour”

May Allah (swt) grant all of you calm and tranquility in this blessed of month! May you hit the target and may Allah (swt) draw you all closer to Him!

May Allah (swt) Guide the Ummah.

May Allah (swt) Forgive the Ummah
