Bismillah [IslamCity] Islamic World Calls for Boycott of Dutch Products
Islamic World Calls for Boycott of Dutch Products to Protest Wilders' Film Sarah Abdullah, Arab News http://www.arabnews .com/?page= 4§ion=0&article=108927&d=14&m=4&y=2008 JEDDAH, 14 April 2008 â Following the release of the 15-minute film "Fitna," which was launched via the Internet on March 27, created by Dutch MP Geert Wilders', Muslim leaders and Islamic scholars have called for the immediate boycott of Dutch products worldwide. In the movie, Wilders links terrorism with verses of the Qur'an and described Islam's holy book as, "fascist literature, which calls on Muslims to perpetrate acts of violence." The movie also begins and ends with the infamous cartoon of Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) that was originally published in the Danish newspaper Jyllands Posten in 2005 and later in other dailies in other countries. The Jeddah-based Organization of the Islamic Conference (OIC) Secretary General Ekmeleddin Ihsanoglu expressed his concerns on the dangerous implications of "Islamophobic actions," such as the film and the cartoons. He called such forms of expression a "widespread insult to the sentiment of Muslims of the world," adding that the movie was "a reprehensible act of incitement and intolerance against peaceful inter-religious and inter-communal cohabitation that challenges the global agenda for peace and development." Angered reactions did not only come from within Saudi Arabia but also other Islamic countries, including Jordan, which has recently began a national campaign to push for taking Wilders to court. Furthermore, just last week, Former Prime Minister Mahathir Mohamed urged Malaysia and the Muslim world to launch a boycott of Dutch products, saying that the impact of such consumer actions by the world's 1.3 billion Muslims would lead to the Netherlands having to "close shop" and added that a boycott would be a productive way of putting pressure on the Dutch government to ban the screening of the film altogether. Arab News tried for several days to speak to Ambassador Nicholaas Beets at the Embassy of the Netherlands in Riyadh to get an official reaction on the film and to inquire about the course of action that would be taken if Saudi Arabia decides to go ahead with a boycott but was met with no comment. However a reliable source from within the embassy spoke to Arab News saying, "The ambassador has been attending meetings with top embassy officials to come to an agreement and a course of action before releasing a formal statement," the source said. Indonesian President Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono, who leads the world's largest Muslim country, which also allows freedom of religion, said he had forbidden the entry of the anti-Islamic film into his country because the film would destroy the harmonious relations among people of different backgrounds. "I have banned the entry and distribution of the film and have asked the Dutch prime minister to withdraw the film from all distribution channels," Yudhoyono told thousands attending a service to mark the Prophet's birthday. He also said Wilders would be banned from entering Indonesia . Iranian Parliament Speaker Gholam Ali Hadded Adel was quoted by Iranian press TV as saying that the Muslim world should boycott trade with any country that allows insults to Islam and that sacrilege of Islamic sanctities is the worst kind of cultural onslaught and violation of human rights. Last week, Iran also summoned Dutch Ambassador Radinck van Vollenhoven to protest at the film which, for his part voiced sorrow over the film's release stating that it had been condemned by the Dutch government. Still others expressing outrage over the film include the Muslim nations of Syria, Pakistan, and Bangladesh as well as top officials such as United Nations Secretary General Ban Ki-moon who said that the film was "offensively anti-Islamic" while adding that there is "no justification for hateful speech or incitement to violence." But what do the Dutch really think about the film despite the government's efforts to distance themselves from Wilders? According to a poll of 1,200 persons, conducted in the Netherlands by well-known pollster Maurice de Hond, one-third of the Dutch population had seen the film in its entirety or in part a day after the film was posted on the Internet. The poll found that 20 percent thought it was good that Wilders made and released the film while 25 percent said they thought it would have been better that Wilders did not make and release the film. The same poll found 48 percent of the Dutch were indifferent regarding the subject. Bernard Wientjes, head of the Netherlands Employer's Organization, has suggested that Dutch businessmen sue Wilders for financial damages should the film result in monetary losses due to any boycotting. The BBC also reported that Kurt Westergaard, the artist who painted the controversial cartoon, is suing W
Bismillah [IslamCity] Prophets guidance on drinking water
Drinking from a chipped side of cup is not allowed Abu Dawud narrated in his Sunan that Abu Saâid Al-Khudri (R.A.) said: âThe Messenger of Allah (s.a.w.s.) disallowed drinking from the chipped side of the cup and from breathing in the drink.â The Hadith also teaches the Muslim many types of good behavior. For instance, drinking from the chipped side of the cup might cause one to swallow the substances that have accumulated near the chipped side. Also, one might not be able to enjoy his drink when he is drinking from the cupâs chipped side. In addition, dirt and fat concentrate near the chipped side and are usually not fully cleaned when rinsed. Also, the chipped side of the cup is the worst and is not beneficial. One of our Salaf saw a man once buying inferior goods and said to him, âDo not buy it, do you not know that Allah has not blessed inferior things?â Also, the chipped side of the cup might cause injury to the mouth. As for breathing in the cup, it will transfer the foul odor from the person to the drink. This is why the Prophet (s.a.w.s.) has disallowed breathing or blowing in it. In the Hadith that At-Tirmidhi narrated, Ibn âAbbas (R.A.) said: âThe Messenger of Allah (s.a.w.s.) prohibited breathing in the pot (or cup) or blowing on it. If some asks, âWhat about the Hadith in the Sahihain in which Anas (R.A) narrated: âThe Messenger of Allah (S.A.W.S.) used to take three breaths while drinkingâ? We say that we believe in this Hadith and that it does not contradict the Ahadith that we mentioned, because it only means that the Prophet (S.A.W.S.) did not sip the drink in one breath. The Prophet (S.A.W.S.) drank milk undiluted or mixed with water. Drinking sweet milk in hot areas is very beneficial in preserving the health and providing moisture for the body and the liver. This is especially the case when the animals that produce the milk have grazed on wormwood, lavender, lavender cotton, and so forth, because their milk is both a food and a medicine. At-Tirmidhi narrated that the Prophet (S.A.W.S.) said: âWhen any of you eats food, let him say, âO Allah! Bless it for us and give us what is better than it. âWhen someone is given milk, let him say, âO Allah! Bless it for us and give us more of it.â Certainly, milk is the only food or drink that is sufficient.â Further, Muslim narrated: âThe Messenger of Allah (S.A.W.S.) used to be made Nabith (some dates soaked in water) in the beginning of the night and would drink it in the morning of the next day, the next night and the next day, and another night, and the next day until âAsr. If any of it remained, he would then give it to a servant or would order that it be poured out.â The Nabith mentioned in this Hadith is some dates that are soaked in water to sweeten the water and it is used both in drinks and foods. The Nabith has a great benefit in strengthening the body and preserving the health. The Prophet (S.A.W.S.) did not drink the Nabith that is more than three days old fearing that it might have started to decompose and become intoxicating. -- -- Source: "The Prophets' Guidance on drinking water" Taken from Healing with the Medicine of the Prophet (sallallahu 'alaihi wa sallam) By Imam Ibn al-Qayyim al Jawziyyah (rahimahullah) - pp: 209 â 210
Bismillah [IslamCity] Ahadith Qudsi-32
Ahadith Qudsi-32 Superiority of martyrs 32) Narrated Anas (r.a.): Allahâs Messenger (s.a.w.s.) said: A man from among people of Paradise will be brought forward. Allah, Azzowajal will ask him: O son of Adam! How did you find your home? He will reply: O my Lord! It is the best home, and then Allah will say: Ask and wish anything you like. The man will say: I would ask you to send me back to the world in order to be killed in your way ten times. (This is because of the superiority of the martyrdom and the high position which martyrs would be made to occupy in heaven).

Bismillah [IslamCity] Ahadith Qudsi-30
Ahadith Qudsi-30 The last enter to Paradise 30) Narrated Abu Dhar (r.a.) Allahâs Messenger (s.a.w.s.) said: I know the last of the dwellers of Hell to come out and the last of the people of Paradise to enter. He is a man who would be brought before Allah on the Day of Resurrection. Then Allah will command the Angles: Ask him about the minor sins and hide the major ones. Then it will be said to him: On such and such day you did that and that sin; and on such and such day you committed that and that bad deed. The Prophet (s.a.w.s.) added: it will be said to him: In place of every evil deed, you will be granted one good deed. The Prophet (s.a.w.s.) continued, the sinner would say: My Lord! I have done things which I do not find here. The narrator said: Indeed I saw the Messenger of Allah (s.a.w.s.) laugh until his premolar teeth were visible. (Because the sinner was forgiven). (This Hadith is sound and reported by Tirmidhi) This is how Allah would cover a sinner with His Mercy. Even his minor sins would be so great that he will feel so ashamed of them that he will not be able to ask Allah Paradise. * Saying of the Prophet Muhammad (s.a.w.s.) Having Allahs Statements.

Bismillah [IslamCity] Garlic
Garlic Prepared by Susan A. Latta What are the folklore uses of garlic? Garlic traditionally has been used as a natural antibiotic thought to protect against infection, to lower blood pressure, and to treat atherosclerosis, asthma, arthritis, cancer, and circulatory problems. What is garlic? Garlic grows in the form of a bulb. It is used in cooking to enhance the flavor, and it may also have some medicinal value. How does garlic work? Allicin, SAC (S-Allyl-Cystine) and ajoene are the three active compounds found, in varying amounts, in fresh garlic, many commercially produced garlic pills, and in garlic powder. Allicin, a chemical formed when garlic is crushed, appears to have antibacterial properties. SAC has been shown to be effective against the initiation of tumors in animals. Ajoene appears to be an anti- blood clotting agent. Garlic supplements contain alliin, an odor-less precursor of the garlic smell in the active compounds of allicin and ajoene. The enzyme alliinase is needed to convert alliin to allicin and ajoene. How effective is garlic? Research on medicinal uses of allicin in fresh garlic indicate it can lower blood pressure and cholesterol. Ajoene may be useful in slowing blood clotting. In this way, garlic protects against heart disease and stroke. These results do not apply to garlic supplements, however. Studies also show that fresh garlic, in large quantities, can lower cholesterol levels. Because garlic thins the blood, it may lower blood pressure. Other findings suggest that high levels of garlic may prevent development of cancer by stimulating the immune system and hindering growth of cancer cells. Laboratory studies show that garlic can inhibit bacteria growth and may fight infection. However, those results are unproven in humans. How does cooking affect garlic? Cooking preserves allicin, since heat inactivates the enzyme that weakens its antibacterial effect. Cooking garlic also decreases the likelihood it will cause gastrointestinal disturbances. What are the recommended forms and dosages of garlic? Research has shown that relatively large amounts must be consumed for garlic to be medicinally beneficial: one to five or more cloves a day. A third of a teaspoon of garlic powder equals one dose of the most potent commercial supplement. If you take garlic supplements regularly, read the labels to identify the active compounds and their amounts. Dried garlic does not contain the active compounds of allicin or ajoene, but does contain alliin. The enzyme alliinase may be present in garlic that has been dried at low temperatures, but it is unstable in the presence of acid. When dried garlic is consumed and reaches the stomach, the alliinase is destroyed by stomach acid; therefore, not much alliin is converted to allicin. - Sources: Tyler, V. 1993. The Honest Herbal.

Bismillah [IslamCity] Ahadith Qudsi-29
Ahadith Qudsi-29 The last to enter Paradise 29) Narrated âAbdullah bin Masâud (r.a.): Allahâs Messenger (s.a.w.s.) said: The last entrant to Paradise would be a man who walks once and stumbles once and be burnt by the fire once. When he gets beyond it, he will turn to it and say: Blessed is He who has saved me from you and has given me what He gave nobody in the earlier or later times. Then a tree would be raised up for him. So he will say: O my Lord! bring me closer to this tree so that I may take shelter in its shade and drink from its water. Allah, Azzowajal would say: O son of Adam! If I grant you this, you will demand Me something else. He will say: No, my Lord. He promised that he would ask for nothing else. His Lord would excuse him because He sees that the man would not patience over it. So He will make him near it. Then he will take shelter in its shade and drink its water. Afterwards, a tree more beautiful than the first would be raised up before him. So he will say: O my Lord! Bring me near this tree. So that I may drink its water and take shelter in its shade. I shall not ask you for anything other than that. Allah will say: O son of Adam! Did you not promise Me that you would not ask Me for anything else. He will reply: probably I shall ask for nothing if you bring me near it. And he promised Him that he would not ask Him for anything else. His Lord would excuse him because He knows that he would not keep his word. Anyhow, He would bring him near to the tree. The man will take shelter in its shade and drink its water. Then a tree more beautiful than the first two would be raised up at the gate of Paradise. He will say: O Lord! Please make near to this tree so that I may enjoy its shade and drink its water. I shall not ask You anything else. His Lord would excuse him as the temptation of which he could not resist. So He will make him near this tree. When He would bring him near it, he would hear the voices of the inhabitants of Paradise. He would say: O my Lord! Admit me to it. Allah would say: O son of Adam! What will bring an end to your demands to Me? Will it please you if I give you the (whole) world and a similar one along with it? The man will say: Are you mocking at me, though you are the Lord of the worlds? Narrating this Hadith Ibn Masâud laughed and asked (the hearers): Why donât you ask me what I am laughing at. They said: Why do you laugh? He said: In the same way Allahâs Messenger (s.a.w.s.) also laughed (when he said this Hadith, and (the Companions) asked: Why do you laugh, O Messenger of Allah? He replied: On account of the laughter of the Lord of the worlds when the desirous of Paradise said: Are you mocking at me though you are the Lord of the worlds? At this, Allah will remark: I am not mocking at you, but I am All-Capable to do whatever I wish. (This Hadith is sound and reported by Muslim). This Hadith highlights the fact that the last entrant to Paradise will undergo various phases. It also shows the aspect of human nature that man is not contended with one thing but always desires better than that is available to him. ** Saying of the Prophet Muhammad (s.a.w.s.)

Bismillah [IslamCity] Ahadith Qudsi-26
Ahadith Qudsi-26 Some of What Allah has prepared for His righteous slaves 26) Narrated Abu Huraira (r.a) the Prophet (s.a.w.s.) said: Allah, Azzowajal said: I had prepared for My righteous slaves what no eye has seen nor any ear has heard nor any human mind has realized (nor it has occurred to any human heart). (This Hadith is sound and reported by Bukhari, Muslim, Tirmidhi and Ibn Majah). Later on Abu Huraira said: Recite if you wish: No soul knows about the joy of eyes (pleasure) which has been hidden for them. What Allah, Subuhanautala has prepared for the believers in Jannah (Paradise) is beyond any description, imagination or perception. What we read of that in the Noble Qur'an is only what the human brain can perceive. But Jannah is beyond all that. ** Saying of the Prophet Muhammad (s.a.w.s.) Having Allahs Statements.

Bismillah [IslamCity] Ahadith Qudsi-25
Ahadith Qudsi-25 Paradise is surrounded with hardships whereas Hell is encompassed with lusts 25) Narrated Abu Huraira (r.a) that Allah's Messenger (s.a.w.s.) said: When Allah created Paradise, He ordered Jibrael: Go and see it. So he went and saw it. Then he returned and said: O Lord, By Your glory! Who hears of it would love entering it. Then He encompassed it with unpleasant things (hardships of worship) and said: O Jibrael! Go (again) and see it. So he went away to look at it. Then he came back and said: O lord, By Your glory! I fear that no one will enter it. The prophet (s.a.w.s.) said: When Allah created Hell, He said: O Jibrael, go and see it. So he went and saw it. Then he turned up and said: O Lord, By Your glory! No one who hears of it will enter it. So He encompassed it with lusts (worldy desires) and said: O Jibrael! Go back and see it. He went again to see it and came back saying: O Lord, By Your glory! I fear that no one will escape from entering it. (This Hadith is fair and reported by Abu Daud, tirmidhi, Nasa'I, Ahmad in Musnad and Al-Hakim in Mustadrak) Allah has promised to give paradise in reward to those who do good deeds for His sake. But man is misguided by the Satan and worldly lusts which cause him to do bad deeds that lead to Hell. He who undergoes hardships in the cause of Allah; these hardships will lead him to the enternal abode of pleasures. *** Saying of the Prophet Muhammad (s.a.w.s.) Having Allahs Statements.

Bismillah [IslamCity] Ahadith Qudsi-24
Ahadith Qudsi-24 Discouragement of Desparation 24) Abu Huraira (r.a) said: Allah's Messenger (s.a.w.s.) passed while some of his Companions were laughing. He said to them: if you know what I know you should laugh very little and weep a lot. The Jibrael came to him and said: Allah says to you: Do not make my slaves feel desparate (from my mercy). Then the Prophet (s.a.w.s.) came back and said to us: Be hopeful, be happy. (The chain of narrators is sound and narrated by Ibn Hiban.) There is always hope as far as we believe that the mercy of Allah supercedes His anger. *** Saying of the Prophet Muhammad (s.a.w.s.) Having Allahs Statements.

Bismillah [IslamCity] Purification - Intention, Forgetfulness...
Purification - Intention, Forgetfulness. .. 'Abdullah ibn as-Sunnabiji stated that the Messenger of Allah said: "When a slave makes ablution and rinses his mouth, his wrong deeds fall from it. As he rinses his nose, his wrong deeds fall from it. When he washes his face, his wrong deeds fall from it until they fall from beneath his eyelashes. When he washes his hands, his wrong deeds fall from them until they fall from beneath his fingernails. When he wipes his head, his wrong deeds fall from it until they fall from his ears. When he washes his feet, his wrong deeds fall from them until they fall from beneath his toenails. Then his walking to the mosque and his prayer give him extra reward." (Related by Malik, an-Nasa'i, Ibn Majah and al-Hakim.) _ Pronouncing The Intention Verbally - Shaykh Abdul-Azeez ibn Baaz What is the ruling regarding pronouncing the intention verbally in Salaat and Wudoo? The ruling regarding this is that it is an innovation. Because it has not been reported from the Prophet (peace be upon him) or his companions, therefore it is an obligation to abstain from it. The place of the intention is the heart, generally there is no need to pronounce the intention verbally. And Allaah is the possessor of all success. _ Washing the Hands[1] Before the Face During Wudhoo - Shaykh Abdul-Azeez ibn Baaz I was performing Wudhoo for Salaah and I forgot to wash my face and washed my hands [2]. I then remembered that, so I washed my face, then my hands[3] and then completed the Wudhoo. Is there anything upon (me) with regards to that? And O Eminent Shaykh! What if somebody forgets to wash his face and did not remember this until he finished the Wudhoo? Please give us the Islaamic ruling, may Allaah reward you with good. There is nothing upon you with regards to that, because you went back, washed your face and then you washed your hands[4] and then completed the Wudhoo. As for the one who left out (washing) his face and did not remember it until he finished the Wudhoo, consequently he must redo the wudhoo because it is an obligation to maintain its sequence and wash the prescribed bodily parts in succession without interruption (whilst performing Wudhoo). And Allaah is the Possessor of all success. --- [1] Up to the elbows [TN] [2] Up to the elbows [TN] [3] Again for a second time [TN] [4] Again for a second time _ Wiping Over the Nape During Wudhoo - Shaykh Abdul-Azeez ibn Baaz Is wiping over the nape whilst performing the Wudhoo not recommended? Because I have heard that it is imitating the Jews? Yes, it has not been recommended, and Islamically it has not been legislated to wipe over the nape, however wiping is only for the head and the ears, as this has been established in the Quraan & Sunnah. _ Performing Wudhoo Inside The Bathroom - Shaykh Abdul-Azeez ibn Baaz What is the ruling upon one who does Wudhoo inside the bathroom? Is his Wudhoo permissible? There is no problem for him to perform Wudhoo inside the bathroom if there is a need for that. He is to invoke the name of Allaah at the beginning of performing Wudhoo, by saying (ÈÓã Çááå) In the name of Allaah because invoking the name of Allaah (ÇáÊÓãíÉ) is compulsory according to some of the people of knowledge, and an emphasized Sunnah according to majority of the scholars. So he is to invoke the name of Allaah and the ruling of (ÇáßÑÇåÉ) Karaahah (dislike - for uttering it inside the bathroom) is removed because legitimately the (ÇáßÑÇåÉ) Karaahah ceases when the need is present (like in this case) to invoke the name of Allaah (inside the bathroom). As the person has been commanded to invoke the name of Allaah at the beginning of Wudhoo, so he is to invoke the name of Allaah and then complete his Wudhoo. As with regards to the supplication upon completing the Wudhoo (ÇáÊÔåÏ) the declaration of faith then it is to be uttered after coming out of the bathroom, as the bathroom is a place to relieve ones needs. So when he finishes performing Wudhoo, he is to come out of the bathroom and utter the (ÇáÊÔåÏ) declaration of faith outside . However if the bathroom is only for the purpose of Wudhoo and it is not for relieving oneself from stool or urine, then there is no problem for him to utter the supplication (ÇáÊÔåÏ) declaration of faith inside the bathroom, because in this case the bathroom is not a place to relieve ones needs.

Bismillah [IslamCity] Advice to those having performed the Hajj
The signs of an accepted Hajj or 'Umrah
Question: Are there any signs which appear upon those whose performance of the
Hajj or the 'Umrah is accepted?
Response: It is possible for there to be signs for the one whose Hajj,
fasting, charity or prayer has been accepted by Allaah and they are: the
opening of the heart (to good), happiness of the heart and a lighted face.
Certainly, for worshipping (Allaah) there are signs that appear on the body,
signs that are visible and signs that are hidden. Some of the Pious
Predecessors have mentioned that from the signs that a good (act) has been
accepted (by Allaah) is that he will be granted the towfeeq to do (yet) another
good (act). Certainly the towfeeq of Allaah for him to do more good (acts)
after it, is evidence that Allaah ('Azza wa Jall) has accepted his previous
good (acts). He has made it easy for him to do another good act and is happy
with him for it.

Advice to those having performed the Hajj
Question: What is your advice to the one who has performed the obligatory
(first) Hajj?
Response: My advice is that he should fear Allaah (and be aware of Him) in
performing all that which Allaah has obligated upon him in terms of other acts
of worship such as salaah, zakaah, fasting, honouring the parents, enjoining
family ties and being good to the creation (of Allaah) and to the animals under
ones ownership and other than this from that which Allaah has commanded with.
That which encompasses all of this is the statement of Allaah:
{Verily, Allaah enjoins al-'Adl (justice) and al-Ihsaan (being patient in
performing one's duties to Allaah), and giving (help) to kith and kin: and
forbids al-Fahshaa. (all evil deeds), and al-Munkar (all that is prohibited),
and al-Baghee (all kinds of oppression), He admonishes you, that you may take
heed. And fulfill the Covenant of Allaah (Bay'ah: pledge for Islaam) when you
have covenanted, and break not the oaths after you have confirmed them, and
indeed you have appointed Allaah your surety. Verily! Allaah knows what you
do}, [Soorah an-Nahl, Aayah's 90-91].

Bismillah [IslamCity] Virtues of the Ten Days of Dhul Hijjah!
Virtues of the Ten Days of Dhul Hijjah
-
How do the first ten days of the Month of Dhul Hijjah differ from other
days of the year?
Praise be to Allaah Who has created Time and has made some times better than
others, some months and days and nights better than others, when rewards are
multiplied many times, as a mercy towards His slaves. This encourages them to
do more righteous deeds and makes them more eager to worship Him, so that the
Muslim renews his efforts to gain a greater share of reward, prepare himself
for death and supply himself in readiness for the Day of Judgement.
This season of worship brings many benefits, such as the opportunity to
correct one's faults and make up for any shortcomings or anything that one
might have missed. Every one of these special occasions involves some kind of
worship through which the slaves may draw closer to Allaah, and some kind of
blessing though which Allaah bestows His favour and mercy upon whomsoever He
will. The happy person is the one who makes the most of these special months,
days and hours and draws nearer to his Lord during these times through acts of
worship; he will most likely be touched by the blessing of Allaah and will feel
the joy of knowing that he is safe from the flames of Hell. (Ibn Rajab,
al-Lataa'if, p.8)
The Muslim must understand the value of his life, increase his worship of
Allaah and persist in doing good deeds until the moment of death. Allaah says
(interpretation of the meaning):
"And worship your Lord until there comes unto you the certainty." [al-Hijr
15:99] The mufassireen (commentators) said: "'The certainty' means death."
Among the special seasons of worship are the first ten days of Dhu'l-Hijjah,
which Allaah has preferred over all the other days of the year. Ibn 'Abbaas
(may Allaah be pleased with him and his father) reported that the Prophet
(peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said: "There are no days in which
righteous deeds are more beloved to Allaah than these ten days." The people
asked, "Not even jihaad for the sake of Allaah?" He said, "Not even jihaad for
the sake of Allaah, except in the case of a man who went out to fight giving
himself and his wealth up for the cause, and came back with nothing." (Reported
by al-Bukhaari, 2/457).
Ibn 'Abbaas (may Allaah be pleased with him and his father) also reported
that the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said: "There is no
deed more precious in the sight of Allaah, nor greater in reward, than a good
deed done during the ten days of Sacrifice." He was asked, "Not even jihaad for
the sake of Allaah?" He said, "Not even jihaad for the sake of Allaah, except
in the case of a man who went out to fight giving himself and his wealth up for
the cause, and came back with nothing." (Reported by al-Daarimi, 1/357; its
isnaad is hasan as stated in al-Irwaa', 3/398).
These texts and others indicate that these ten days are better than all the
other days of the year, with no exceptions, not even the last ten days of
Ramadaan. But the last ten nights of Ramadaan are better, because they include
Laylat al-Qadr ("the Night of Power"), which is better than a thousand months.
Thus the various reports may be reconciled. (See Tafseer Ibn Katheer, 5/412).
You should know, my brother in Islaam, that the virtue of these ten days is
based on many things:
Allaah swears an oath by them, and swearing an oath by something is
indicative of its importance and great benefit. Allaah says (interpretation of
the meaning): "By the dawn; by the ten nights" [al-Fajr 89:1-2]. Ibn 'Abbaas,
Ibn al-Zubayr, Mujaahid and others of the earlier and later generations said
that this refers to the first ten days of Dhu'l-Hijjah. Ibn Katheer said: "This
is the correct opinion." (Tafseer Ibn Katheer, 8/413)
The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) testified that these
are the best days of this world, as we have already quoted above from saheeh
ahaadeeth.
The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) encouraged people to
do righteous deeds because of the virtue of this season for people throughout
the world, and also because of the virtue of the place - for the Hujjaaj
(pilgrims) to the Sacred House of Allaah.
The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) commanded us to
recite a lot of Tasbeeh ("Subhan-Allaah"), Tahmeed ("Al-hamdu Lillaah") and
Takbeer ("Allaahu akbar") during this time. 'Abdullaah ibn 'Umar (may Allaah be
pleased with him and his father) reported that the Prophet (peace and blessings
of Allaah be upon him) said: "There are no days greater in the sight of Allaah
and in which righteous deeds are more beloved to Him than these ten days, so
during this time recite a great deal of Tahleel ("La ilaaha ill-Allaah"),
Takbeer and Tahmeed." (Reported by Ahmad, 7/224; Ahmad Shaakir stated that it
is saheeh).

As for his disbelieving in Me, it is his statement that He will not be resurrected as was created, though his recreation is easier to Me than the first creation.

IT EXPERT CALLS FOR USING INTERNET TO SPREAD ISLAM Arab News JEDDAH, 24 November 2007 Wadji Akkari, an IT expert from the Jeddah Dawa Center , has stressed the need for utilizing the Internet and other modern mediums for the propagation of Islam. The world has shrunk and you can introduce Islam to millions around the world sitting inside your house free of cost, he said. Akkari was speaking on Internet and Dawa at an IT and media seminar organized by Jeddahs Indian Islahi Center to mark the organizations silver jubilee.

In My Hand lay all the things and I am the one who causes the revolution of the day and night. (This Hadith is sound and reported by Bukhari, Muslim, Abu Da'ud and Nas'i). Once Allah Azzawajal causes the day and night and controls time, abusing time is a bed deed that should not happen. Precisely, abusing time is not permissible in Islam. *** Saying of the Prophet Muhammad (s.a.w.s.) Having Allahs Statements. From Darussalam Islamic Books - Be a better sports nut!

Bismillah [IslamCity] Secrets of Remedy by Dates
Secrets of Remedy by Dates By Engineer Abdel-Daym Al-Kahil Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) gave a special attention for Dates as part of the believers diet especially during the Holy month Ramadan. Allah Almighty mentioned Palm trees many times in the Quraan, and made it the food of the dwellers of Paradise, So what are the secrets of this great nutriment? Is it possible to think of using dates as remedy for some diseases? What do scientists of today say about dates? Dates are one of the most nourishing fruits and Its called sometimes Bread of Desert, More than two third of dates weight is natural sugar. This fruit was highly esteemed by the ancient civilizations more than 5000 years ago; ancient Egyptians considered dates as a symbol of fertility, while the Romans and the Greeks used it to ornament their stately triumph pageants[1]. Today, dates are widely-grown in the Arabian Peninsula, Iran, Egypt, Iraq, Spain, Italy and the United States. There are more than 600 varieties of dates[2]. Next, we are going to explore the usefulness of dates to humans throughout the different stages of their lives. Dates and the Prebirth period Dates stimulate the uterus by regulating And brisking it's contractions which facilitate delivery. The uterus is a relatively large muscular organ and it urgently requires an adequate supply of natural sugar during labor and delivery. Being laxative, dates are essential for pregnant women before delivery in order to purge the colon and intestine and to facilitate delivery. The miraculousness of the Quranic verse shows evidently as Allah tells Mary: (And shake the trunk of the palm tree towards thee thou wilt cause ripe dates to fall upon thee) [Mariam 25] Nutriment and medicine for children Dates contain natural sugar which is easily absorbed and digested, thus, it is safe and comforting for childrens stomach and intestine. And the dates juice is useful especially if we mix it with Milk to become very nourishing and restorative drink for children and adults. Dates and honey paste is used for the treatment of diarrhea and dysentery in children but it should be taken three times a day. This paste also comforts and hardening the gums during teething and facilitates the process. It is advisable to purchase the good varieties of dates and to wash them thoroughly before use especially when used as food or remedy for children. Here, we should mention the prophetic tradition of (Al Tahneek); rubbing the newborns mouth with a well-chewed date and feeding him with it. Science has proved that giving the newborn some sugar dissolved in water provides the child with the necessary nutrition and improves their immunity against diseases. And when we know that sugar in dates is the most easily absorbed and digested type of sugar so it will be suitable nutriment for newborns but the dates should be well-chewed or soaked in water to be easy for the newborn to take. This proves that the great prophet (PBUH) preceded todays doctors to this type of nutrition. Its no wonder that he preceded them as he is the messenger of their God. Figure (1) Dates are the best nutriment for newborns since pregnancy and during breast feeding An effective treatment for constipation Dates can be used in the treatment of intestinal disturbances and it also helps the intestine perform their function effectively, and helps establishing a colony of friendly bacteria in the intestines. Dates are also highly beneficial in the treatment of constipation as the roughage provided by it stimulates sluggish bowels. They should be immersed in water at night and taken after making them into fine syrup the next morning to secure laxative effect [3]. A Remedy for Sexual Debility Date syrup can be used as a treatment for weak heart. It can also be use for the treatment of sexual weakness. When its mixed with milk and honey, dates can be used as a tonic for the treatment of sexual disturbances for both sexes, And such syrup strengthens the body and raises its energy levels. The elderly would benefit from this syrup too. It improves their stamina and purges their bodies from the toxins that have accumulated in their cells along the years. An Ideal Nutriment for Fasters It was very weird that western physicians who treat their patients by fasting advise them by taking the natural sugar in fruits and water when breaking the fast [4]. And when we know that dates contain a high ratio of such easily-absorbed sugar then dates and water are the best nutriments for fasters. Here we remember the Hadith of our prophet (PBUH) : (When any of you breaks his fasting he should eat dates cause dates are blessing, if he didnt find dates then drink water cause water is purifying) [Narrated by Abo Dawood].Here we see that the prophet (PBUH) showed us the principles of effective fasting, by eating dates and drinking

Narrated Anas bin Malik (r.a) Allah's Messenger (s.a.w.s.) said: Allah Assawajal said: Your followers will still remain saying: What is that? What is that? until they say: It is Allah who has created the creation then who created Allah? (This Hadith is sound and reported by Muslim) The devil plays a role in making people disbelievers by such questions about Allah Assawajal. Before we deal with such questions of the devil which nobody can answer, let us ask ourselves a question: Do we know every thing about the creatures so that we ask about the Creator. The creature can never know how to answer a queation of this type about Allah Assawajal. Allah created us but Allah's existence is evident for all of us; His existence was all by Himself. The "How" of this matter is beyond the perception of the human mind so it is a pointless queation to ask, but the devil aims at making people go astray. If you have any such whispering of the devil, you can ask Allah Assawajal to protect you and say: "I believe in Allah and His Messenger". *** Saying of the Prophet Muhammad (s.a.w.s.)

Ahadith Qudsi-Superiority of Monotheism . . . Qudsi Hadith: 16 Allah screens the believer in the world as well as in the Hereafter 16. Narrated Safwan bin Muhriz Al-Mazini: While I was on my way along with Ibn "Umar (r.a.) taking (holding up) his hand in mine, Suddenly a man appeared to him and said: What did you hear Allah's Messenger (s.a.w.s.) saying about confidential talk (secret conversation)? He said: I heard Allah's Messenger (s.a.w.s.) saying: (On the Day of Resurrection) Allah will draw near to a believer and put His forgiveness over him and screen him (his sins) then Allah will say: Do you know such and such sin? Do you know such and such? He will say: Yes, my Lord! This conversation will continue) until Allah will make him confess his sins, and thinks that he is ruined. The Allah will say: I concealed them (your sins in the world) and I do forgive you today. Then he will be given the record book containing his good deeds. As regards, the infidels and hypocrites, the witness will say: These are the people who have disbelieved their Lord. Behold! Allah's Curse is upon transgressors. (This Hadith is sound and reported by Bukhari, Mulsim and Ibn Majah) Allah's (Assawajal) mercy can be seen in this world. An evidence of this is that he covers the sinners through He is All-Mighty and All-knowing. A further evidence is that he also forgives the same sins in the Hereafter. He (Assawajal) may also uncover you as a penalty in this world. So one should always care that Allah is watching him. *** Saying of the Prophet Muhammad (s.a.w.s.) Having Allahs Statements.

Bismillah [IslamCity] Remaining steadfast after Ramadhan
Remaining Steadfast After Ramadhan Shaykh Saleh al-Fouzan Ahadeeth us-Siyam: Ahkam wa Adab © Huda Ramadhan 1419AH Sufyan ibn `Abdillah radhiallahu `anhu said: "O Messenger of Allah, tell me something about Islam, which I cannot ask anyone else besides you." He said: "Say: 'I believe in Allah' and then be steadfast (upon that)." [Saheeh Muslim (38)] The hadeeth is proof that the servant is obligated, after having eemaan in Allah, to persevere and be steadfast upon obeying Him by performing the obligatory acts and avoiding the prohibited ones. This is achieved by following the Straight Path, which is the firm Religion without drifting away from it, to the right or to the left. If the Muslim lives through Ramadhan and spent his days in fasting and his nights in prayer and he accustomed himself to doing acts of good, then he must continue to remain upon this obedience to Allah at all times. This is the true state of the slave, for indeed, the Lord of the months is One and He is ever watchful and witnessing over his servants at all times. Indeed, steadfastness after Ramadhan and the rectification of one's statements and actions are the greatest signs that one has gained benefit from the month of Ramadhan and striven in obedience. They are tokens of reception and signs of success. Furthermore, the deeds of a servant do not come to an end with the end of a month and the beginning of another, rather they continue and extend until he reaches death. Allah says: "And worship your Lord until the certainty (death) comes to you." [al-Hijr: 99] If the fasting of Ramadhan comes to an end, then indeed the voluntary fasting is still prescribed throughout the entire year. If standing in prayer at night during Ramadhaan comes to an end, then indeed, the entire year is a time for performing the night prayer. And if the Zakat-ul-Fitr comes to an end, then there is still the Zakah that is obligatory as well as the voluntary charity that lasts the whole year. This goes the same for reciting the Qur'an and pondering over its meaning as well as every other righteous deed that is sought, for they can be done at all times. From the many bounties that Allah has bestowed upon his servants is that He has placed for them many different types of righteous acts and provided many means for doing good deeds. Therefore, the ardor and zeal of the Muslim must be constant and he must continue to remain in the service of his Lord. It is unfortunate to find that some people perform worship by doing different types of righteous deeds during Ramadhan. They guard strictly upon their five daily prayers in the masjid, they recite the Qur'aan a lot and they give in charity from their wealth. But when Ramadhan comes to an end, they grow lazy in their worship. Rather, sometimes they even abandon the obligations, both generally, such as praying in congregation, and specifically, such as praying the fajr prayer. And they commit forbidden acts such as sleeping over the time of prayers, indulging in places of foolishness and entertainment, and mingling in parks, especially on the day of `Eed. Obtaining help from these evils is only through the grace of Allah. Thus, they demolish what they have constructed and destroy what they have established. This is an indication of deprivation and a sign of perdition. We ask Allah for His safeguarding and protection. Indeed, this type of people take the example of turning in repentance and ceasing from committing evil deeds as something specific and restricted to the month of Ramadhan. And they stop doing these (good) acts when the month stops. Thus, it is as if they have abandoned sinning for the sake of Ramadhan, and not out of fear of Allah. How evil are these people who do not know Allah, except in Ramadhan! Truly, the success that Allah grants His servant lies in the fasting of Ramadhan. His assisting him to do that is a great favor, thus the calls for the servant to be grateful to his Lord. This understanding can be found in the statement of Allah after completing the favor of the month of fasting: "(He wants that you) must complete the same number of days, and that you must magnify Allah (by saying Allahu Akbar) for having guided you, so that you may be grateful to Him." [2:185] The one who is grateful for having fasted, will remain upon that condition and continue to perform righteous deeds. Verily, the true way of the Muslim is that of one who praises and thanks his Lord for giving him the ability to fast and make qiyam. His condition after Ramadhan is better than it was before Ramadhan. He is more receptive to obey, desiring to do good deeds and quick to enforce the obligatory acts. This is because he has gained benefit form this prominent institute of learning. It is that of one who fears for having his fast not acce

Boycott Israel [IslamCity] Brushing One's Teeth During the Ramadan Fast
Brushing One's Teeth During the Ramadan Fast Sheikh Salman al-Oadah Many people avoid brushing their teeth during the day in Ramadan. This is a mistake, since there is no contradiction between observing the fast and brushing one's teeth. Moreover, Allah's Messenger (peace be upon him) said: "Were it not for the hardship that I would be placing upon my people, I would have ordered them to engage in siwâk for every prayer." [Sahîh al-Bukhârî (887) and Sahîh Muslim (252)] We must understand that the word "siwâk" does not just refer to the tree branches that are used as tooth sticks, but to the act of brushing the teeth itself. It is derived from the verb sâk, meaning to rub, clean, buff, or polish. [Tarh al-Tathrîb (2/63)] Regarding the question of what can be used for brushing the teeth, Ibn `Abd al-Barr writes: "The siwâk of the people had been from the arâk and bashâm trees. Anything that polishes the teeth without harming them and sweetens the taste of the mouth is permitted for the purpose of brushing the teeth." [al-Istidhkâr (3/272)] It is permitted to brush one's teeth at any time during the day while fasting in Ramadan. As for the hadîth that reads: "When you fast, brush your teeth in the mornings, but do not brush your teeth in the afternoon." it is an extremely weak hadîth. It is related in Sunan al-Bayhaqî, Sunan al-Daraqutnî, and other sources. Its chain of transmission is too weak to allow it to be used as evidence. Therefore, the ruling regarding brushing the teeth in Ramadan remains general. It is encouraged at all times. This ruling is evident in the hadîth mentioned above as well as in the hadîth: "Were it not for the hardship that I would be placing upon my people, I would have ordered them to engage in siwâk every time they perform wudû'." This means that it is recommended to brush one's teeth after every wudû' and for every prayer, regardless of whether one is fasting or not, and regardless of whether it is in the morning of Ramadan or the afternoon. The Zuhr and `Asr prayers are include in this general ruling just as the Fajr, Maghrib, an `Ishâ' prayers are included. In fact, there are six occasions where brushing the teeth I recommended: 1. It is recommended before each prayer. 2. It is recommended for every wudû'. 3. It is recommended when reciting the Qur'ân. The following is related by `Alî . Abî Tâlib and others: "Indeed, your mouths are pathways fro the Qur'ân, so make those pathways agreeable with siwâk." [Sunan Ibn Mâjah (291) but with a weak 4. It is recommended upon entering the home. The father of al-Miqdâm b. Shurayh had asked `Âishah: "What was the first thing that the Prophet (peace be upon him) used to do when he entered the house?" She replied that he would brush his teeth. [Sahîh Muslim (253)] 5. It s recommended when a person has bad breath. The Prophet (peace be upon him) said: "Siwâk cleanses the mouth and pleases the Lord." [Sunan al-Nisâ'î, (5), Musnad Ahmad (6/47) and Sunan al-Dârimî (684)] 6. It is recommended upon waking from sleep. Hudhayfah relates that when the Prophet (peace be upon him) got up at night, he would brush his teeth with a toothstick." [Sahîh al-Bukhârî and Sahîh Muslim] It is recommended for a Muslim to brush his or her teeth on these occasions whether or not he or she is fasting. Some people assume that brushing the teeth while fasting is discouraged on the basis of the hadîth where the Prophet (peace be upon him) said: "I swear by Him in whose hand is my soul, the khalûf of a fasting person is more pleasant to Allah than the scent of musk." [Sahîh al-Bukhârî (1893) and Sahîh Muslim (1151)] The assumption that this hadîth discourages brushing one's teeth while fasting is incorrect for two reasons: 1. The khalûf is the smell that comes from the stomach when it is empty of food and is not a smell emanating from the mouth. 2. Many scholars explain that the pleasantness of this khalûf for Allah on the Day of Judgment, as indicated by the narration of the hadîth in Sahîh Muslim: "I swear by Him in whose hand is my soul, the khalûf of a fasting person is more pleasant to Allah on the Day of Judgment than the scent of musk." It does not relate to the affairs of this world, so brushing the teeth will have no affect on it. If anything, brushing the teeth will provide an additional dimension of pleasantness, since it is in itself something pleasing to Allah. It is something Allah enjoined upon the Muslim's through the words of His Messenger (peace be upon him). As for any remnants of the tooth stick that may remain in the mouth of the fasting person, these should simply be removed as best as possible. The fasting person should not allow suspicions and misgivings about it to worry him. Many people go to excesses in this matter and impose upon themselves unnecessary hardships. For instance, some people go to extremes in removing what remains in their mouths after br

Narrated Abu Hurraira (r.a.): Allah's Messenger (s.a.w.s.) said that Allah the Exalted observed: If My slave loves meeting Me, I too love meeting him. If he dislikes to meet Me, I too hate to meet him. (This Hadith is sound and reported by Bukhari and Nasa'i). This Hadith shows that a Muslim when he thinks of death he hopes to enter Paradise. So he likes death more or less. But disbelievers fear death because they do not have belief nor hope for Paradise. The believer who likes Paradise also likes death to meet Allah Assawajal. As a result, Allah Assawajal likes meeting him, too. *** Saying of the Prophet Muhammad (s.a.w.s.) Having Allahs Statements. From Darussalam Islamic Books - Looking for a deal?

Boycott Israel [IslamCity] On which hand and finger should a man wear his silver ring?
On which hand and finger should a man wear his silver ring? - Answered by Shaykh Muhammad ibn Adam al-Kawthari http://qa.sunnipath.com/issue_view.asp?id=16290&hd=7&cate=0&t=rss Q. On which hand and finger should a man wear his silver ring? Can you please clarify, since some people are saying it is wrong to wear the ring on the left hand? A. In the name of Allah, Most Compassionate, Most Merciful, As for which finger, most of the scholars of Hadith and Fiqh are of the opinion that it is Sunna and recommended for a male, if he chooses to wear a silver ring, to wear it on his little finger of the hand. Imam Muslim (may Allah have mercy on him) reports in the chapter pertaining to clothing and adornment (Kitab al-Libas wa'l Zina) in his Sahih from Sayyiduna Anas ibn Malik (may Allah be pleased with him) that he said: "The ring of the Messenger of Allah (Allah bless him & give him peace) was on this", and he pointed towards the little finger of his left hand. (Sahih Muslim, no: 2095) Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) says: "The Messenger of Allah (Allah bless him & give him peace) forbade me that I wear a ring on this or this finger of mine." The narrator says that he pointed to the middle finger and the one next to it [i.e. the index finger]." (Sahih Muslim, no: 2078) Based on the above narrations, the renowned Shafi'i jurist and Hadith scholar, Imam Nawawi (may Allah have mercy on him) states: "Muslim scholars have agreed that it is a Sunna [for men] to wear the ring on the little finger. As for women, they may wear rings on their various fingers." (Al-Minhaj sharh Sahih Muslim, P: 1584) Imam Nawawi (may Allah have mercy on him) then explains the reason for wearing the ring on the little finger. He says that the other fingers are more frequently used when utilizing the hand, whilst the little finger is not so frequently used due to it being at the corner of the hand. As such, he says, it is somewhat disliked (makruh tanzih) for a man to wear his silver ring on the middle and index fingers. (ibid) In light of the above reasoning given by Imam Nawawi and others, we can add that the thumb would probably take the same ruling as that of the middle and index fingers, since the thumb is also frequently used. As for the "ring" finger, due to it being close to the little finger and also not being frequently used, one may wear his ring on it. As for which hand, there are somewhat conflicting reports regarding the practice of the Messenger of Allah (Allah bless him & give him peace). Some narrations indicate that he wore his ring on his right hand, whilst others indicate that he wore it on his left hand. Sayyiduna Anas ibn Malik (may Allah be pleased with him) reports that "the Messenger of Allah (Allah bless him & give him peace) wore a silver ring on his right hand which had an Abyssinian stone in it, and he would keep its stone towards the palm." (Sahih Muslim, no: 2094) Sayyiduna Anas (may Allah be pleased with him) says: "The ring of the Messenger of Allah (Allah bless him & give him peace) was on this", and he pointed towards the little finger of his left hand. (Sahih Muslim, no: 2095) As such, Imam Nawawi (may Allah have mercy on him) states: "As for the [legal] ruling in this issue according to the jurists (fuqaha), they have all agreed upon the permissibility of wearing the ring on the right hand, and upon the permissibility of wearing it on the left hand, and there is no dislike (karaha) in wearing the ring on either of the two hands. However, they disagreed in regards to what is preferred. Many early scholars (salaf) wore their rings on the right hand, whilst many others wore theirs on the left hand. Imam Malik (may Allah have mercy on him) considered wearing the ring on the left hand to be recommended (mustahab) and disliked wearing it on the right hand. In our [Shafi'i] School, both positions are mentioned by our scholars. The correct (sahih) opinion is that it is better to wear the ring on the right hand, for wearing a ring is a form of adornment, and the right hand is more deserving of this adornment and beautification." (Al-Minhaj sharh Sahih Muslim ibn al-Hajjaj, P: 1585) Shaykh Taqi Usmani (may Allah preserve him) explains in his commentary of Sahih Muslim that most of the narrations indicate that the Messenger of Allah (Allah bless him & give him peace) wore his ring on his right hand whilst some others indicate that he wore it on his left hand. Some scholars preferred the latter narrations whilst others preferred the former. Some scholars reconciled between the two types of narrations saying that the Messenger of Allah (Allah bless him & give him peace) initially wore his ring on the right hand and thereafter resorted to wearing it on his left hand. The great Master of Hadith (Hafidh), Ibn Hajar (may Allah have mercy on him) reconciled by stating in his Fath al-Bari that if the

Ahadith Qudsi-Superiority of Monotheism . . . Qudsi Hadith: 14 FEAR OF ALLAH 14. Narrated Abu Said Al-Khudri (r.a.). He quoted Prophet Muhammad (s.a.w.s.) as saying to his Companions that: a man from among the early people or from those before you had said a word, i.e. Allah had blessed him with wealth and sons. When death approached him, he asked his sons: How was I being as a father? They replied: You were the best father. He said: I didn't save or perform any good deeds for Allah. If Allah takes possession of me, He will punish me. So, look! When I am dead, burn me until I become coal then crush me well and scatter (my ashes in the air) on a stormy day. The Prophet (s.a.w.s.) said: He took a covenant from his sons (and died). They did according to his will and spread his ashes in the air on a stormy day. Allah asswajal said: Be and there he was embodied before Him. Allah, the Exalted, asked him: O my slave! What induced you to do what you did? He replied: It was Your fear (so that I may not appear before You). The Prophet (s.a.w.s.) added: Allah, the Exalted rewarded him with His mercy; the Prophet (s.a.w.s.) said second time: Allah did not punish him. (This Hadith is sound and reported by Bukhari and Muslim). This man was a believer in the Power of Allah assawajal to resurrect, and punish. His such belief and fear caused him to make that will which led him to Allah's forgiveness. Saying of the Prophet Muhammad (s.a.w.s.) Having Allahs Statements.

The time for 'duha' begins when the sun is about a spear's length above the
horizon and it continues until the sun reaches its meridian. It is preferred
to delay it until the sun has risen high and the day has become hot.
Zaid ibn Arqam (r.a.)relates: "The Messenger of Allah (s.a.w.s) went to the
people of Quba', and they were performing the 'Duha' prayer, and he (s.a.w.s)
said: 'The prayer of 'Duha' should be observed when the young weaned camels
feel the heat of the sun.'"

Fiqh-us-Sunnah Fiqh 2.31b
The minimum number of rak'ah to be prayed in the supererogatory 'Duha'
(forenoon) prayer is two. The most that the Prophet (s.a.w.s) performed was
eight rak'at, whereas, the most he (s.a.w.s) mentioned was twelve rak'at. Some
eminent scholars, such as Abu Ja'far At-Tabari, Al-Mulaimi, and Ar-Ruwyani, who
subscribes to the Shafi' school of thought, say there is no maximum limit to
the number of rak'at that one may perform for the voluntary 'Duha' prayers.
Al-'lraqi says, in the commentary on Sunan At-Tirmidhi: "None of the
companions of the Prophet (s.a.w.s) or followers are known to have restricted
it to twelve rak'at." As-Syuti agrees with it.
Sa'id ibn Mansur (r.a.) records that al-Hassan (r.a.) was asked: "Did the
companions of the Prophet (s.a.w.s) perform the 'Duha' prayer?" He answered:
"Yes . . . some of them would pray two rak'at, and some of them would pray four
rak'at, and some of them would continue until half the [early] day [had
passed]."
Umm Hani (r.a.) narrates that the Prophet sallallahu 'alehi wa sallam prayed
eight rak'at of 'Duha' and made the taslim after every two rak'at.

Aishah (r.a.) reports: "The Prophet (s.a.w.s) would pray four rak'at for
'Duha' and would add to it whatever Allah willed."

Sahih Al-Bukhari Hadith 2.274 Narrated by Abu Huraira (r.a.)
My friend [the Prophet (s.a.w.s)] advised me to do three things and I shall
not leave them till I die, these are: To fast three days every month, to offer
the voluntary Duha prayer, and to offer Witr before sleeping.
In light of the above guidance of the Messenger of Allah (s.a.w.s), it would
be considered a Sunnah to offer the voluntary 'Duha' (forenoon) prayers between
the time the sun has completely risen until it reaches its zenith or meridian
at mid-day. One may offer a minimum of two rakahs, and a maximum of as much as
one wishes.

Boycott Israel [IslamCity] THE SUNNAH OF ALLAH'S MESSENER IN THE MONT OF SHABAAN
THE SUNNAH OF ALLAH'S MESSENGER IN THE MONTH OF SHAin the Month of SHABAN - Taken from As-Sunnah Islamic Newsletter Issue: 14 -- References: (1) Urdu article on Shabaan published by Lajna Taw'eyyatul Jaliyat, Kuwait (2) Tahzeer al-Muslimeen anil-ibtidaa wal-Bidaa fid-Deen by Shaikh Ahmed bin Hajar (3) Tafseer Ibn Katheer (4) Lectures of Shaikh Abdullah Nasir Rahmani - hafizahullah (5) Answers by Shaikh Saaleh al-Munajjad and others. Compiled by Shawana Abdul Aziz Shabaan is the eight month of the Islamic calendar. It falls between two sacred months, Rajab and Ramadaan. Allah's Messenger (sallallahu alaihi wa-sallam) used to spend most part of Shabaan by fasting, Imaam Bukharee (rahimahullah) reports in his Saheeh that Aa'ishah (radhi allahu anha) said: "The Messenger (sallallahu alaihi wa-sallam) used to fast until we thought he would never break his fast, and he would not fast until we thought he would never fast. I never saw the Messenger of Allah (sallallahu alaihi wa-sallam) fasting for an entire month except in Ramadaan, and I never saw him fast more than he did in Shabaan." Ibn Rajab (rahimahullah) said: "Fasting in Shabaan is better than fasting in the sacred months (i.e. Dhul-Qadah, Dhul-Hijjah, Muharram and Rajab - Soorah Tawbah (9): 36), and the best of voluntary fasts are those that are (observed in the months) closest to Ramadaan, before or after. The status of these fasts is like that of al-Sunan al-Rawaatib, which are done before and after fard (prayers) and which make up for any shortfall in the number of obligatory prayers. The same applies to fasts observed before and after Ramadaan. Just as al-Sunan al-Rawaatib are better than other kinds of voluntary prayers, so fasts observed (in the months) before and after Ramadaan are better than fasts at other times." [Lataa'if al-Ma'aarif fimaa li Mawaasim al-'Aam min al-Wazaa'if, by Ibn Rajab al-Hanbali] When Allah's Messenger (sallallahu alaihi wa-sallam) was asked, why he fasted so abundantly in the month of Shabaan, he (sallallahu alaihi wa-sallam) said: '(Shabaan) is a month to which people do not pay attention, between Rajab and Ramadaan, and it is a month in which deeds are lifted up to the Lord of the worlds. I like for my deeds to be lifted up when I am fasting." [an-Nisa'ee, see Saheeh al-Targheeb wa'l-Tarheeb, p. 425] This and other Ahaadeeth of Allah's Messenger (sallallahu alaihi wa-sallam) encourage performing good deeds when people are likely to become negligent of Allah's remembrance and worship, like remembering Allah in the market place, where people get busy in their dealings and in times of difficulty - Allah's Messenger (sallallahu alaihi wa-sallam) said: "Worship at times of tribulation (fitnah) is like Hijrah (migration) to me." [Saheeh Muslim (2984)] The virtue and superiority of worshiping Allah when people tend to become negligent of Allah's remembrance is because worship at such times is more difficult than worshiping Allah when everybody is engaged in the worship. Fasting in Shabaan serves as training before Ramadaan. However, fasting the whole month of Shabaan is Makrooh (dislike) and against the Sunnah of Allah's Messenger (sallallahu alaihi wa-sallam). Ibn Abbas (radhi allahu anhu) said: "The Messenger of Allah (sallallahu alaihi wa-sallam) did not fast any entire month apart from Ramadaan." [Saheeh al-Bukharee] It is also prohibited to fast at the end of Shabaan with the intention of not missing the first days of Ramadaan, except for those who have the habit of fasting regularly and the last day of Shabaan coincides with a day when the person habitually fasts, those who are bound by vows or have to make up some obligatory fasts. It is reported in Saheeh al-Bukharee from Abu Hurayrah (radhi allahu anhu) that the Prophet (sallallahu alaihi wa-sallam) said: "Do not pre-empt Ramadaan by one or two days, except for those who have the habit of fasting regularly, in which case they may fast." [Saheeh al-Bukharee (1983)] Fasting at the end of Shabaan is prohibited to maintain distinction between the obligatory and voluntary fasts - it is also a precaution to prevent the people from falling into the trap of Shaytaan, who persuaded the People of the Book to add more fasts to that which Allah had made obligatory for them. For this same reason, it is also prohibited to fast on the 'day of doubt.' A day of doubt is when people are not sure about the start of Ramadaan, because of cloudy weather, or some other reason. 15th Shabaan: Is there any reality? Some ignorant people have themselves specified particular nights of the year, when they stay awake all night and worship Allah. It is believed that anyone who worships Allah in these specific nights, it will recompense for his yearly deeds and will be enough for his salvation and entering

Ahadith Qudsi-Superiority of Monotheism . . . Qudsi Hadith: 11 An example of Allah's Mercy on his slaves 11. Narrated Abu Huraira (r.a) that Allah's Messenger (s.a.w.s.) said: Allah says: Whenever My slave intends to do a bad deed, (I say to the deeds recording angels): Do not record it against him until he (actually) commits it. If he has done so, write it down exactly as one in his record book. But if he refrains from it for My sake, write down this as a virtue in his favour. And when he intends to do a good deed, but does not actually do it, write it as a virtue for him. And it he puts it into practice, write its reward equal to, from ten to seven hundred times (in his account). (This Hadith is sound and reported by Bukhari, Muslim and Tirmidhi). This above Hadith briefly describes that Allah, if He likes, can forgive even the most sinner person believing in Oneness of Allah and the Prophet hood of Muhammad (s.a.w.s.). But it doesn't mean that every one should take it as a cover and involve himself intentionally in evils relying on the Mercy of Allah. A good Muslim, who has in his heart fear of Allah, should perform righteous deeds and avoid sins as per commands laid down in the Qur'an and Hadith. * Saying of the Prophet Muhammad (s.a.w.s.)

Boycott Israel [IslamCity] Ahadith Qudsi-Superiority of Monotheism. . . Qudsi Hadith:7
Ahadith Qudsi-Superiority of Monotheism One whose intention is not pure will deserve Hell. Purity of intention is essential in all deeds. 7. Narrated Abu Huraira (r.a.): I heard Allah's Messenger (s.a.w.s.) saying: The first of the people whose case will be decided on the Day of Judgment will be a man who died as a martyr. He will be brought forth. Allah will make him know about His blessings (Which He had bestowed on him in the world). The man will acknowledge them. Then Allah will ask him: What did you do with them? He will say: I fought in Your way until I died as a martyr. Allah will remark: You are lying. You fought so that you may be called a brave warrior. Then orders will be passed against him. So he will be dragged along on his face and cast into Hell. Second will be a man who studied (religious) knowledge. Then he taught it to others and recited the Qur'an. He will be brought (for judgment). Allah will remind him of His favours (showered on him in the world). He will admit them (having enjoyed them in his life). Then Allah will ask him: What did you do with them? He will reply: I acquired knowledge and imparted it and also recited the Qur'an for Your sake. Allah will observe: You have told a lie, for you got knowledge to be renowned as a scholar; and you recited the Qur'an to be marked as Qari (one who recites the Qur'an according to the rules). Then orders will be passed against him. So he will be dragged along on his face and thrown into Hell. Third will be a man to whom Allah had made abundantly rich and granted him every kind of wealth. He will be brought for Judgment. Allah will let him know about His gifts conferred upon him in the world. He will recognize them. Then Allah will inquire: What did you with them? He will say: I left no way in which You like money to be spent without spending in it for Your sake. Allah will say: You are lying, You did so to be described as generous (in the society); (It means you got your reward in the world according to your intention). Now you deserve nothing in the Hereafter except Hell). So orders will be passed against him and he will be dragged along on his face until he will be hurled into Hell. (This Hadith is sound and reported by Muslim and Nasa'i) The purity of intention is behind any deed. If you spend for show, there is no reward. Eventually, if one loves another for something worldly this shall not count in the Hereafter. But love for the sake of Allah Assawajal is great virtue in the Hereafter. Such love can be a Muslim's love to learn from him or to take as a companion for good deeds, without any worldly considerations, once there is something worldly, the intention is not pure.
