TenQ:Several verses in the Quran mention Allah giving signs or miracles to Prophet Muhammad, but there isn't a single chapter dedicated solely to this topic. Instead, these mentions are scattered throughout the Quran. Some examples include Surah Al-Imran (3:144), Al-Ahzab (33:40), Muhammad (47:2), and Al-Fath (48:29), which refer to him as a messenger or prophet without explicitly stating a specific sign. Other verses highlight the miracles of other prophets as examples, which can be seen as indirect signs of God's power and favor, and thus relevant to the broader theme of divine signs. For example, Surah Al-Ma'idah (5:32-33) discusses the story of Cain and Abel, which is presented as a sign of God's judgment and justice. Additionally, verses like Surah Fussilat (41:3) emphasize the importance of reflecting on God's signs in creation (e.g., the heavens and earth, night and day, rain) as guidance for believers, indirectly connecting these natural phenomena to the broader concept of divine revelation. |

TenQ:No, the Quran does not state that Prophet Muhammad was not given any miracles. While the Quran emphasizes Muhammad's role as a human messenger and does not focus on elaborate miraculous displays, it also contains verses that can be interpreted as referring to miracles or events that defied natural laws. The Quran primarily highlights Muhammad's role as a warner and emphasizes the Quran itself as a sufficient sign for those who seek guidance. The Quran records instances where Muhammad's contemporaries demanded specific miracles, like causing a spring to gush forth or creating a golden house. Muhammad refused to fulfill these requests, stating that prophets cannot produce miracles without God's permission and that the regularities of nature are sufficient proof. Some verses, while not explicitly calling them miracles, are interpreted by some as referring to miraculous events. For example, Quran 17:90-93 describes requests for miracles that are not explicitly denied as impossible. Subsequent Islamic tradition, particularly the Hadith and Sira, contain numerous narratives of miracles attributed to Muhammad. While the Quran does not dwell on miracles in the same way as some other religious texts, verses like Quran 53:1-18 and 54:1, are interpreted by some as referring to the Isra and Mi'raj (Muhammad's Night Journey and Ascension), which is considered a miraculous event. |

41lady:I am sorry.You wrote splited.It is split not splited. The evidence in the Quran shows that the moon can be split and Prophet Muhammed did just that for the unbelievers as an attestation to his Prophethood. It was a miracle.Nobody did it before or after him. |

dejavume:Some of the miracles of the Messenger (blessings and peace of Allah be upon him) Praise be to Allah, and blessings and peace be upon the Messenger of Allah. The miracles of the Prophet (blessings and peace of Allah be upon him) were many, over a thousand, as was stated by the great scholar Ibn al-Qayyim (may Allah have mercy on him) in Ighathat al-Lahfan (2/691). These miracles include some that occurred and are finished, and one of them is that which will continue for as long as Allah, may He be exalted, wills. It is the greatest miracle and the greatest sign of the prophethood of the Prophet (blessings and peace of Allah be upon him). It is the Holy Quran, the sign that will remain and continue, that cannot be subjected to change or alteration. It is miraculous in many ways, including its wording, for Allah challenged the most eloquent of the Arabs to produce a single soorah like it, and they were unable to do that. It is miraculous in what it contains of the foretelling of future events which came to pass as it foretold, such as the passage in which Allah, may He be exalted, says (interpretation of the meaning): {Alif, Lam, Mim. The Byzantines have been defeated In the nearest land. But they, after their defeat, will overcome Within three to nine years} [ar-Rum 30:1-4]. It is miraculous in what it contains of perfect legislation; humanity could not produce such legislation by themselves. It is miraculous in what it contains of knowledge and information about the secrets of this universe, which modern science is still discovering, day after day, more of these secrets. With regard to the miracles which happened and ended, they are many, as I noted above. The most famous of them include: 1.. The miracle of the Prophet’s Night Journey and Ascent to Heaven (al-Isra’ wa’l-Mi‘raj). The Quran mentions the night journey clearly and refers to the ascent to heaven. And there are authentic hadiths in the Sunnah which describe the ascent to heaven and what happened during it. 2.. The miracle of the splitting of the moon, which is mentioned in the Quran, and there are many hadiths transmitted by many narrators which speak of it, as Ibn Kathir (may Allah have mercy on him) said. The Muslims are unanimously agreed on that. 3.. The increase of small amounts of food at the hands of the Prophet (blessings and peace of Allah be upon him), so that the army who were with him could eat, and there would still be food left over. There are hadiths which speak of this in al-Bukhari and Muslim, and other books of hadith. 4.. The springing forth of water from between the fingers of the Prophet (blessings and peace of Allah be upon him) and the increase of water so that the entire army could drink from it and do wudu’ with it. There are hadiths which speak of this in al-Bukhari and Muslim. 5.. The Prophet’s foretelling of matters of the future unseen, which then came to pass as he foretold. Many things that he foretold came to pass and we still see things happening that the Prophet (blessings and peace of Allah be upon him) foretold. 6.. The grieving of the date palm trunk when he stopped preaching beside it and began to use the minbar. The hadith concerning that is in Sahih al-Bukhari. 7.. The rock greeting him with salaam when he was in Makkah. The hadith concerning that was narrated by Muslim. 8.. Healing the sick. There are many hadiths which speak of that in al-Bukhari and Muslim, and elsewhere. As I stated above, his miracles were many, and this is just a glimpse of them. The scholars have compiled many books listing the miracles of the Prophet (blessings and peace of Allah be upon him), such as Dala’il an-Nubuwwah by al-Bayhaqi, A‘lam an-Nubuwwah by al-Mawardi, and the book of ‘aqidah (creed) are filled with mention of his miracles under the heading of belief in the messengers. Allah knows best. |

TenQ:Where did Allah say he gave no miracle to Prophet Muhammed? |
| Islam › Re: Stories Of Non-human Living Beings That Loved Muhammad (SAW) by Alfaab: 11:31am On Aug 01, 2025 |
Did prophet Muhammed have a miracle about resurrecting the dead? Answer 1: The miracles of our Prophet (pbuh) regarding the resurrection of the dead: “The first one is this: Hasan al-Basri, an important and loyal student of Imam ‘Ali and the greatest authority among the scholars of the external and esoteric sciences in the time of the generation subsequent to the Companions, related: “A man came weeping to God’s Messenger (Upon whom be blessings and peace). He said: ‘I had a little girl; she drowned in such-and-such stream nearby. I left her there.’ He pitied the man and said they would go there together. They went, and the Messenger (UWBP) called to the dead girl, saying her name. At once the dead girl replied: ‘I am present and answer your call gladly.’ He asked her: ‘Do you want to return to your father and mother?’ She replied: ‘No, I have found something better here!’” (Qadi Iyad, ash-Shifa, 1:320; Khafaji, Sharhush-Shifa, 3:106) The second one: Important authorities like Imam Bayhaqi and Imam b. ‘Adiyy relate from Anas b. Malik: Anas said: “An elderly woman had a single son who suddenly died. The righteous woman was very grieved and prayed: ‘O God, I left my home and migrated here only to obtain Your pleasure and to pay allegiance to God’s Noble Messenger (UWBP) and to serve him. For the sake of Your Messenger, return my son to me, who was the only person to look after me.’” Anas said: “The dead man rose up and came and ate with us.” (Qadi Iyad, ash-Shifa, 1:320; Ibn Kathir, al-Bidaya wan-Nihaya, 6:292) In the following lines from the celebrated poem Qasidat al-Burda, Imam Busiri refers to this extraordinary event: “Were his wonders to correspond to his virtue in greatness / Mere mention of his name would have animated decayed bones.” Third incident: Scholars like Imam Bayhaqi relate from ‘Abdullah b. ‘Ubaydullah al-Ansari: ‘Abdullah said: “I was present when Thabit b. Qays b. Shammas fell as a martyr in the Battle of Yamama and was buried. As he was being put in his grave, a voice suddenly came from him, saying: ‘Muhammad is the Messenger of God, Abu Bakr is the Veracious Siddiq, ‘Umar, the martyr, and ‘Uthman, pious and merciful.’1 We uncovered him and looked: he was dead and lifeless, yet he was foretelling ‘Umar’s martyrdom even before he had succeeded to the Caliphate. (see Qadi Iyad, ash-Shifa, 1:320; Aliyyul-Qari, Sharhush-Shifa, 1:649; Ibn Kathir, al-Bidaya wan-Nihaya, 6:157-158) The fourth incident: Imam Tabarani, and Abu Nu’aym in his Dala’il al-Nubuwwa, relate from Nu’man b. Bashir: “Zayd b. Kharija suddenly dropped down dead in the marketplace. We took his body to his house. That evening between sunset and the night prayer, while the women were weeping all around him, he exclaimed: ‘Silence! Silence!’ Then, saying: ‘Muhammad is God’s Messenger! Peace be upon you, O Messenger of God!’, he spoke most eloquently for a while. We looked: he was dead, without life. (Ibn Kathir, al-Bidaya wan-Nihaya, 8:291 (with various chains of narrators); al-Haythami, Majma’uz-Zawaid, 5:179-180, with two different chains of narrators) Thus, if lifeless corpses affirm his prophethood and the living do not, for sure they are more dead than the dead and more lifeless than corpses (see Said Nursi, Mektubat, On Dokuzuncu Mektub) Answer 2: First Incident: The opinion of Aliyyul-Qari regarding the issue is as follows: “The real narrator of that narration by Hasan al-Basri is unknown. But I (Qari) saw a similar one in Bayhaqi’s Dalail. It is as follows: The Prophet invited a man to Islam. The man said: “I will not believe in you unless you resurrect my daughter.” The Prophet said, “Show me her grave”. He showed it. The Prophet (went to the grave of that girl and) called to the dead girl, saying her name. At once, the dead girl replied: ‘I am present and answer your call gladly.’ He asked her: ‘Do you want to return to your father and mother?’ She replied: “O Messenger of Allah! By Allah, I don’t want because I see that the neighborhood/closeness/protection of Allah is better than that of my parents. I see that the hereafter is better for me than this world,” (see Aliyyul-Qari, Sharhush-Shifa, Beirut, 1421, 1/650-651) - The same miraculous event is mentioned in other sources. (see al-Qastalani, al-Mawahibul-Ladunniyya, Cairo, nd., 2/296) On this occasion, Aliyyul-Qari, also mentions that the Prophet brought together the bones of the sheep he ate with his Companions, in Jabir’s house, and brought the sheep back to life by Allah’s leave. (see ibid) Second Incident - Ibn Kathir includes the narrations that came through three chains of narrators regarding the issue. (al-Bidaya wan-Nihaya, 6/171, 291, 323) - This incident is included in Ibn Abid-Dunya’s work called “Man Asha Badal-Mawt / Those Who Lived After Death” (Beirut, 1413, 1/12) with two full chain of narrators - one reported from Anas and the other from another narrator. The above scholars trusted him since they included in their works. - Bayhaqi includes three narrations with chain of narrators - all of which are reported from Anas. (see Bayhaqi’s Dalail an-Nubuwwa, 6/50, 51,52) We could not come across anyone who corrected this narration and we could not come across anyone who criticized it. Third incident: Reporting from Bayhaqi (Dalail, 6/58), Ibn Kathir states that there are sound narrations about those who spoke after death. (see Ibn Kathir, Ibn Kathir, al-Bidaya wan-Nihaya, 6/174-175) In some of these sources, it is written that this incident took place in the Battle of Yamama, and some in Jamal or Siffin. As a matter of fact, Bayhaqi includes two different narrations showing those two places. (ibid) Fourth incident: Bayhaqi states that the narration he made regarding the issue was “sound”. And he includes some other narrations that support it. (see Dalail, 6/55-56) - Bukhari briefly confirmed this event and included it in his history by saying, “Zayd b. Kharija is one of those who died during the caliphate of Uthman and spoke after death.” (at-Tarikhul-Kabir, 3/383) |

Alfaab:To sum up, we can say, 1.The statements of the companions who are the representatives of honesty and justice that this event took place, 2.The agreement of many tafsir scholars that this incident was the reason why the verse, “the moon is cleft asunder” [31] was sent down, [32] 3.The narrations of those hadith scholars who report from reliable forces that prove this incident, [33] 4.The news by all of the saints that can discover unknown things and be inspired about them that this incident took place, 5.The confirmation of the incident by various kalam imams, scholars and experts who usually have very different ideas, 6.The belief of the ummah of Muhammad who never agree on something wrong that this incident took place, prove very clearly that the moon was split. Why has a trace of splitting on the moon not been found up to now though science has developed so much? The bruises or wounds on our body heal after a while without leaving any traces; the cracks that appear on the earth disappear in time without leaving any traces; similarly, it is quite sensible that the power that created the moon can eliminate the cleft that He made as a miracle. On the other hand, as the late Muhammad Hamidullah, the great Islamic scholar points out, there is a trace of a cleft on the surface of the moon from the top to the bottom in the middle of the moon. This cleft is about a mile (a thousand and six hundred meters) wide; the astronomers called it “Hadley Rille”. The research about that cleft done by Apollo-15 crew was reported in the newspapers then. The picture of the cleft is shown below. [35] The video of the cleft(s) recorded by Apollo-15 crew can be watched in the following web address: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lzXZXrt0n2M 1 Like |

StaffofOrayan:Do you doubt it or somebody is asking you to prove it. An Explanation about the splitting of the Moon We want to answer the questions that may come to the mind about the splitting of the moon. Our question is this “Did the miracle of the splitting of the moon occur? Why do the historical records not mention about the splitting of the moon? Despite the advancement of science nowadays, why is there no any trace of the splitting on the moon? If the event of the splitting had occurred, then the trace of this should have been on its surface.” We are going to answer the first part of this two-part optioned question with five points and after that we will give the answer to the second question. Did the miracle of the splitting of the moon occur? Why do the historical records not mention about the splitting of the moon? The miracle of the splitting of the moon is a miracle shown to some of the polytheists who denied the Apostle of God in order to prove the authenticity of his cause to them with the permission of God. We will try to explain why it is not recorded in history books by items: 1. The miracle of the splitting of the moon is a miracle which is narrated in all books of the Islamic history and sirah sources; besides it is a miracle which is mentioned in the first verses of the surah of al-Qamar of the Qur’an (28). None of the stubborn polytheists who witnessed this miracle along with deniers of the Qur’an denied this but tried to reject it by calling a “Magic!..” (29) No information that this event did not exist in history is given. If this miracle had not occurred, polytheists who did not disregard using even a small event against Islam for denigration would have certainly denied this event which is narrated by history and the Qur’an. Their failure of denying shows that there is no doubt about the occurring of this event. 2. Great scholars like Taftazani said, “The miracle of the splitting of the moon is a mutawatir event just like the water flowing down from his fingers, the dry wooden stud that the Prophet leaned against while reciting sermons in the mosque crying due to leaving the Prophet and the whole congregation hearing it. [30] That is, it was reported by such a big congregation that it is impossible for them to agree to lie about something. We are sure that a comet called Halley was seen from the world and recorded by historians a thousand years ago because people transmitted that information through centuries; that is, it is mutawatir; we are sure that there is a country called Sri Lanka only by hearing its name though we have not seen it; similarly, the splitting of the moon is mutawatir. It is stupidity to doubt or to suspect such a certain issue. It is not something impossible. The splitting of the moon is possible like the breakup of a mountain due to a volcanic eruption. 3. Miracles are shown to persuade people who do not believe in a prophet. If they had forced unbelievers to believe, it would have been contrary to the mystery of testing. Therefore, if the moon had remained in two parts for such a long time as to make it possible for everybody to see after being split, it would have caused everybody to believe and the mystery of testing would have been eliminated. Or, it would have been recorded as an ordinary celestial incident. Therefore, the miracle of the splitting of the moon was shown at night all of a sudden to the polytheists and companions who were present there. 4. The following question can come to the mind: “Why was the incident of the splitting of the moon not mentioned in the history of other nations?” This event took place at night. It was daytime in the other part of the world; therefore, it is normal that it was not seen in the other part. Besides, it is normal that it is not mentioned in the history of the Europeans because they were famous for ignorance and wildness. Fog and cloudy weather might have prevented it from being seen in some places. If such an event is seen by some individuals; they will not believe their eyes and cannot make other people believe it; therefore, it is not recorded in history books. |

CorrectionFLuid:How did the Miracle of the Splitting of the Moon occur? The miracle of the splitting of the moon occurred before the migration to Medina (2) upon the demands of the polytheists with the permission of God and it was shown by the prophet Muhammad (PBUH) as narrated by many companions like Anas b. Malik (3), Hz. Ali, Huzayfa b. Yaman (4), Abdullah b. Mas’ud (5), Abdullah b. Abbas (6), Abdullah b. Umar (7), Abdullah b. Amr b. As (  , Jubayr b. Mut’im (9) (May Allah be pleased with all of them). (10)Among Quraish polytheists, Walid b. Mughira, Abu Jahl. As b. Wail, As b. Hisham, Aswad b. Abdi Yaghus, Aswad b. Muttalib, Zama b. Aswad, Nadr b. Harith and others (11) said to the prophet Muhammad (PBUH): “If you truly are a Prophet that has been appointed by Allah, then split the moon in half. Let it be in such a way that one half will appear over the Mount Abu Qubais and the other half will be seen over Mount Quayqian.” The prophet Muhammad (PBUH) asked: “If I do it, will you become Muslims?” The polytheists answered: “Yes, we will.” On the 14th night, when it was full moon, the prophet Muhammad (PBUH) wanted Almighty Allah to give him the miracle which the polytheists demanded from him. (12) When the Gabriel (AS) informed the prophet Muhammad (PBUH) that God had accepted his prayer, he announced it to the Meccans. The polytheists witnessed the splitting of the moon on the 14th night. (13) When Almighty God let the moon split in half, one half standing over Mount Abu Qubais and the other half over Mount Quayqian, the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) shouted at Muslims: “O Abu Salama b. Abdulasad! Arqam b. Abi’l Erqam! Bear witness! (14) And to the polytheists, he said, “Bear witness! So and so! (15) However, the polytheists said “This is one of the spells of Abu Kabsha’s Son.” (16) “The son of Abu Kabsha cast a spell on you!” (17) They said “Muhammad cast a spell on us!” (18) Some of them also said: “If Muhammad had cast a spell on us then (19), He couldn’t have cast a spell on everyone! (20) Let us ask the wayfarers who came from the surrounding areas (21) if they saw what we saw.” (21) They asked the people who came from every everywhere. (22-23) “Yes! We also did see the moon in that state! We saw the moon as split! They informed that the moon was split. Among the people who came from everywhere and seen the moon split, there was no one who had not informed them about it. (24) However, the polytheists rejected to be Muslims and to believe by saying: “This is a prevalent magic!” (25), they said “Abu Talib’s orphan affected the sky with his spell!” (26). Almighty God mentions this miracle in the chapter of al-Qamar as follows: “The hour (of Judgment) is nigh, and 2 Likes |

There were lots of miracles that happened relating to Prophet Muhammad (SAW) There was the splitting of the moon. The miracle of the splitting of the moon is a significant event in Islam, attributed to the prophet Muhammad. According to Islamic tradition, the moon was split into two halves as a sign for the disbelievers. This event is mentioned in the Quran in Surah Al-Qamar (54:1-2). The event is interpreted as a sign of God's power and a confirmation of Muhammad's prophethood. Surah Al-Qamar (54:1-2) states, "The Hour has drawn near and the moon has split [in two]". Many hadith (sayings and actions of the Prophet Muhammad) elaborate on this event, describing how the Prophet pointed to the moon and it split into two visible halves. Some accounts specify that the split was observed on the mountain of Abu Qubays. The splitting of the moon is understood as a sign or miracle, intended to demonstrate the truth of Muhammad's prophethood to those who doubted him. 2 Likes |

Haywhysat:Is Donald Duke a Nigerian name? There are many names in Nigeria that were influenced by religion but this does not erase their tribe. One thing in Islam and Christianity is that you must align with your brethren in faith but there are exceptions especially when your brethrens go against the tenets of Allah/God. 1 Like |

MSSN,NACOMYO are funded by politicians.Just collect your commonwealth from them and say you don't support but we are all for Oduduwa nation. Just like Amotekun,Oduduwa nation is here to stay. *Ibn Hazm:* *“Whoever believes that they will be safe from the attacks and criticism of the people is insane.”* *من قدّر أنه يسلم من طعن الناس وعيبهم فهو مجنون* *Rasā’il, p. 339.* *Focus on pleasing Allāh!* We abhor killing of lives with relish and causing retrogression to others. |

Parisian:I don't know why some natives other than Igbos and Ikwerre will continue to stoke the fire of division between these two groups. There are some people in IMO state who migrated from Ile Ife in Osun state...they were formerly Yorubas....but after decades of sojourn in Igboland,they have taken up the identity of Igbo's.They have accepted to being Igbos. My take is...what do the majority of the Ikwerres chose for themselves? If they chose Igbo,then they are Igbos. 2 Likes |

Eku odun,eku iyedun.A se pupo e laye o.Amin. Barka de Sallah.A Ku odun ileya.Odun a yabo o. Allaah has set out several rulings concerning Eid, including the following: 1 – It is mustahabb to recite takbeer during the night of Eid from sunset on the last day of Ramadaan until the imam comes to lead the prayer. The format of the takbeer is as follows: Allaahu akbar, Allaahu akbar, laa ilaaha ill-Allaah, Allaahu akbar, Allaahu akbar, wa Lillaahi’l-hamd (Allaah is Most Great, Allaah is Most Great, there is no god except Allaah, Allaah is Most Great, Allaah is Most Great, and all praise be to Allaah). Or you can say Allaahu akbar three times, so you say: Allaahu akbar, Allaahu akbar, Allaahu akbar, laa ilaaha ill-Allaah, Allaahu akbar, Allaahu akbar, Allaahu akbar, wa Lillaahi’l-hamd (Allaah is Most Great, Allaah is Most Great, Allaah is Most Great, there is no god except Allaah, Allaah is Most Great, Allaah is Most Great , Allaah is Most Great, and all praise be to Allaah). Both are permissible. Men should raise their voices reciting this dhikr in the marketplaces, mosques and homes, but women should not raise their voices. 2 – You should eat an odd number of dates before leaving for the Eid prayer, because the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) did not set out on the day of Eid until he had eaten an odd number of dates. He should stick to an odd number as the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) did. 3 – You should wear your best clothes – this is for men. With regard to women, they should not wear beautiful clothes when they go out to the Eid prayer-place, because the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said: “Let them go out looking decent” i.e., in regular clothes that are not fancy. It is haraam for them to go out wearing perfume and makeup. 4 – Some of the scholars regarded it as mustahabb to do ghusl for the Eid prayer, because it is narrated that some of the salaf did this. Doing ghusl for Eid prayer is mustahabb, just as it is prescribed for Jumu’ah because one is going to meet people. So if one does ghusl, that is good. 5 – The Eid prayer. The Muslims are unanimously agreed that the Eid prayer is prescribed in Islam. Some of them say that it is Sunnah, some say that it is fard kafaayah (a communal obligation) and some say that it is fard ‘ayn (an individual obligation), and that not doing it is a sin. They quoted as evidence the fact that the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) commanded even the virgins and women in seclusion, i.e., those who did not ordinarily come out, to attend the Eid prayer place, except that those who were menstruating should keep away from the prayer-place itself, because it is not permissible for a menstruating woman to stay in the mosque; it is permissible for her to pass through but not to stay there. It seems to me, based on the evidence, that it is fard ‘ayn (an individual obligation) and that every male is obliged to attend the Eid prayer except for those who have an excuse. This was the view favoured by Shaykh al-Islam Ibn Taymiyah (may Allaah have mercy on him). In the first rak’ah the imam should recite Sabbih isma rabbika al-A‘ala (Soorat al-A’la 87) and in the second rak’ah he should recite Hal ataaka hadeeth ul-ghaashiyah (al-Ghaashiyah 88). Or he may recite Soorat Qaaf (50) in the first and Soorat al-Qamar (54) in the second. Both options are narrated in saheeh reports from the Messenger of Allaah (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him). 6 – If Jumu’ah and Eid fall on the same day, the Eid prayer should be held, as should Jumu’ah prayer, as is indicated by the apparent meaning of the hadeeth of al-Nu’maan ibn Basheer which was narrated by Muslim in his Saheeh. But those who attend the Eid prayer with the imam may attend Jumu’ah if they wish, or they may pray Zuhr. 7 – One of the rulings on Eid prayer is that according to many scholars, if a person comes to the Eid prayer-place before the imam comes, he should sit down and not pray two rak’ahs, because the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) prayed Eid with two rak’ahs, and he did not offer any prayer before or after it. Some of the scholars are of the view that when a person comes he should not sit down until he has prayed two rak’ahs, because the Eid prayer-place is a mosque, based on the fact that menstruating women are not allowed there, so it comes under the same rulings as a mosque, which indicates that it is a mosque. Based on this, it comes under the general meaning of the words of the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him): “When any one of you enters the mosque, let him not sit down until he has prayed two rak’ahs.” With regard to the fact that the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) did not offer any prayer before or after the Eid prayer, that is because when he arrived the prayer started. Thus it is proven that we should pray Tahiyyat al-Masjid (two rak’ahs to “greet the mosque”) when arriving at the Eid prayer-place, as in the case of all mosques, because if we assume from the hadeeth that there is no Tahiyyat al-Masjid for the Eid mosque, then we should say that there is no Tahiyyat al-Masjid for the Jumu’ah mosque either, because when the Messenger of Allaah (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) arrived at the Jumu’ah mosque he would deliver the khutbah, then pray two rak’ahs then leave and pray the regular Sunnahs of Jumu’ah in his house, so he did not offer any prayer before it or after it (in the mosque). What seems more likely to be correct in my view is that we should pray two rak’ahs in the Eid prayer-place to greet the mosque, but we should not denounce one another with regard to this issue, because it is a matter concerning which the scholars differ. We should not denounce others with regard to matters where the scholars differ, unless there is a clear text. So we should not denounce the one who prays (Tahiyyat al-Masjid) or the one who sits down without praying. 8 – One of the rulings on the day of Eid – Eid al-Fitr – is that Zakaat al-Fitr is due on this day. The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) enjoined that it should be paid before the Eid prayer. It is permissible to pay it one or two days before that, because of the hadeeth of Ibn ‘Umar (may Allaah be pleased with him) which was narrated by al-Bukhaari: “They used to give it one or two days before (Eid) al-Fitr.” If it is paid after the Eid prayer, it does not count as Sadaqat al-Fitr, because of the hadeeth of Ibn ‘Abbaas: “Whoever pays it before the prayer, it is Zakaat al-Fitr, and whoever pays it after the prayer, it is ordinary charity.” It is haraam to delay Zakaat al-Fitr until after the Eid prayer. If one delays it with no excuse then it is not acceptable zakaah, but if there is an excuse – such as if a person is traveling and does not have anything to give or anyone to give it to, or he is expecting his family to pay it and they are expecting him to pay it, then in this case he should pay it when it is easy for him to do so, even if that is after the prayer, and there is no sin on him because he has an excuse. 9 – People should greet one another, but that results in haraam actions on the part of many people, such as men entering houses and shaking hands with unveiled women without any mahram being present. Some of these evils are worse than others. We see some people denouncing those who refuse to shake hands with those who are not their mahrams, but it is they who are the wrongdoers, not he. But he should explain to them and tell them to ask trustworthy scholars to verify his actions and he should tell them not to get angry and insist on following the customs of his forefathers, because they do not make a permissible thing forbidden or a forbidden thing permissible. He should explain to them that if they do that, they will be like those of whom Allaah says (interpretation of the meaning): “And similarly, We sent not a warner before you (O Muhammad) to any town (people) but the luxurious ones among them said: “We found our fathers following a certain way and religion, and we will indeed follow their footsteps” [al-Zukhruf 43:23] Some people have the custom of going out to the graveyard on the day of Eid to greet the occupants of the graves, but the occupants of the graves have no need of any greeting or congratulations, because they do not fast or pray qiyaam. Visiting the graves is not something to be done especially on the day of Eid or Friday or any particular day. It was proven that the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) visited the graves at night, as mentioned in the hadeeth of ‘Aa’ishah narrated by Muslim. And the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said: “Visit the graves for they will remind you of the Hereafter.” Visiting graves is an act of worship, and acts of worship are not acceptable unless they are in accordance with sharee’ah. The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) did not single out the day of Eid for visiting the graves, so we should not do so either. 10 – There is nothing wrong with what men do on the day of Eid of embracing one another. 11 – It is prescribed for the one who goes out to the Eid prayer to go by one route and return by another, following the example of the Messenger of Allaah (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him). This Sunnah does not apply to other prayers, Jumu’ah or anything else, it only applies to Eid. Majmoo’ Fataawa Ibn ‘Uthaymeen, 16/216-223. 1 Like |
