2. For someone who agrees that we can do more than what was prescribed by the Prophet (SAW), is the Tahajud of the Prophet (SAW) not a nawafil, is there any narration that the Prophet (SAW) fixed number for it?

Did Umar(ra) made it mandatory to pray 20?

sino: First, I would like you to read and digest this narration below…

عن الصادق عن آبائه عن علي عليه السلام قال: «أوصيكم بأصحاب نبيكم لا تسبوهم، الذين لم يحدثوا بعده حدثاً، ولم يئووا محدثاً؛ فإن رسول الله صلى الله عليه وآله وسلم أوصى بهم الخير
Ali(as) said:“I order to you regarding the Companions (ra) of Muhammad (SAW), don’t criticize them, They were the people after the Prophet (SAW), who did not bring any innovation in the deen and never supported any innovation and the Prophet (SAW) ordered to behave well towards them” Bihar al-Anwar 22/305

AlBaqir:
Trust me I don't border my head if he or anyone else respond. My intention and job is to give accurate information. A wrong or deceit information can misguide and that's a burden upon the shoulder of the writer. That's why I revisit and modify thread and correct my fault where there's. I never stops researching.

AlBaqir:
Of course Allah actually showed him He is al-Jabbar.

FastShipping:
I thought Muslims are not in PDP. I thought PDP is only for Christians. When did PDP start letting Muslims join their party? That is what some people told us that APC is an "Islamic party".

This is the main power supply cable to the house, I think I will better explain more with pictures, before the end of the week.

AlBaqir:
Far from madagascar. Empiree na Americana, abi?

Rilwayne001:

Next month.

Are you in madagascar?

Albaqir: In the case of MAWLUD NABIYY, this is Ibn Taymiyyah:

Ibn Taymiyya
Ibn Taymiyya's opinion about Mawlid from the Collected Fatwas, Majma' Fatawa ibn Taymiyya (vol. 23, p. 163) and his lqtida' al-sirat al-mustaqim (p. 294-295) in the section entitled "The innovated festivities of time and place" (ma uhditha min al-a'yad al-zamaniyya wa al-makaniyya):
"And similarly what some people innovate by analogy with the Christians who celebrate the birth of Jesus, or out of love for the Prophet and to exalt him, and Allah may reward them for this love and effort, not on the fact that it is an innovation... To celebrate and to honor the birth of the Prophet and to take it as an honored season, as some of the people are doing, is good and in it there is a great reward, because of their good intentions in honoring the Prophet."

Are these all?

AbuHanifa:
Salam alaikum brothers and sisters. On my way to work this morning, I had a chat with a friend living in Abuja. At the end of the conversation, I greeted her Jumah Mubarak. She told me that was Bid'a. I told her I never paid any attention to such greetings but will make clarification from my brothers and sisters.

I told her I could be wrong by refuting her claims but told her that I would make consultation on this issue before I know where to stand. The evidence she gave goes thus:

What is the ruling on offering congratulations on Friday?
What is the ruling on offering congratulations on Friday, because now it is the custom in our country on Friday to send text messages and people congratulate one another on the occasion of Friday by saying “Jumu‘ah mubaarak” or “Jumu‘ah tayyibah.”.


Praise be to Allaah.

Firstly:

There is no doubt that Friday is an “Eid” or “festival” for the Muslims, as it says in the hadeeth narrated from Ibn ‘Abbaas (may Allah be pleased with him) who said: The Messenger of Allah (blessings and peace of Allah be upon him) said: “This is a day of ‘Eid that Allah has ordained for the Muslims, so whoever comes to Jumu‘ah, let him do ghusl, and if he has any perfume let him put some on, and you should use the miswaak.” Narrated by Ibn Maaj
1098; classed as hasan by al-Albaani in Saheeh Ibn Maajah.

Ibn al-Qayyim (may Allah have mercy on him) said, describing the special virtues of Friday:

Thirteen: It is a day of ‘Eid that is repeated every week.

Zaad al-Ma‘aad, 1/369

Thus the Muslims have three Eids: Eid al-Fitr and Eid al-Adha, which come once every year, and Jumu‘ah which is repeated once every week.
Secondly:

With regard to the Muslims congratulating one another on the occasions of Eid al-Fitr and Eid al-Adha, this is prescribed and it is narrated from the Sahaabah (may Allah be pleased with them). This has been discussed previously in the answers to questions no. 49021 and 36442. As for congratulating one another on the occasion of Friday, what seems to us to be the case is that it is not prescribed, because the fact that Friday is an Eid was known to the Sahaabah (may Allah be pleased with them), and they were more knowledgeable than us about its virtues, and they were keen to respect it and give it its due, but there is no report to suggest that they used to congratulate one another on Fridays. And all goodness is in following them (may Allah be pleased with them).
Shaykh Saalih ibn Fawzaan (may Allah preserve him) was asked: What is the ruling on sending text messages every Friday and ending with the phrase “Jumu‘ah mubaarak”?

He replied:

The early generation did not congratulate one another on Fridays, so we should not introduce anything that they did not do.

End quote from Ajwabat As’ilah Majallat al-Da‘wah al-Islamiyyah.
A similar fatwa was issued by Shaykh Sulaymaan al-Maajid (may Allah preserve him), when he said:

We do not think it is prescribed to exchange congratulations on Fridays, such as saying to one another, “Jumu‘ah mubaarak” and so on, because it comes under the heading of du‘aa’s and dhikrs, which must be based on a text (of the Qur’aan or Sunnah) because this is purely the matter of worship and if it were good, the Prophet (blessings and peace of Allah be upon him) and his Companions (may Allah be pleased with them) would have done it before us. If anyone suggests that this is permissible, then that may imply that it is prescribed to say du‘aa’s and congratulate one another after having done the five daily prayers and other acts of worship, and du‘aa’ at these times was not done by the early generations.

If a Muslim prays for his brother on Friday with the intention of soften ,

Kindly send your objective opinion as that is the reason why it's thrown up in the forum.

Ma Salam

That is what happens when people can't debate intelligently. Imagine asking Hamas where it gets it's funds?

What about the time you will waste trying to get a permit... especially if you have that color and speak like you are from Mars, that is added wahala for you.

Oh I knew and studied the rules for my township first before construction and I knew that the possibility of an inspection exists since the structure was very visible.

I've heard horror stories.

A coworker built his house by mistake 4 feet too close to the property line. The city wanted him to pull it down and rebuild. So he bought the lot next to him and combined it. Ended up being cheaper than demolishing the half built house.

The Inspectors do have a job though, at least they keep us safe in our homes.

CityNG:
Structures under 100 square feet are not required to have a permit. This was 12 X 10 so it was actually 120 square feet. Jealous neighbor (who always asks me where I get my energy from) promptly turned me into the city.

City Inspector and I had a discussion about difference between heated and unheated space and which is counted towards the square footage. The little patio area there was not counted and got me to 105 or so square feet
