This week, we will review the ten hadith of the forty hadith of An-nawawih. For the past review, see here


Hadith 10 states:

On the authority of Abu Hurayrah, may Allah be pleased with him, who reported that the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) said:

"Indeed, Allah, the Exalted, is pure and accepts only that which is pure. Allah has commanded the believers to do what He commanded the messengers. He, the Exalted, said: 'O messengers, eat of the good things and work righteousness.' And He, the Exalted, said: 'O you who have believed, eat from the good things with which We have provided you.'

Then the Prophet (peace be upon him) mentioned a man who has prolonged his journey, appearing disheveled and dusty, raising his hands to the heavens and supplicating, 'Our Lord, Our Lord,' while his food is unlawful, his drink is unlawful, his clothing is unlawful, and he has been nourished by what is unlawful. How can he expect his supplication to be answered?"

(Narrated by al-Bukhāri and Muslim)

Below are some of the lessons we can derive from this hadith:

1. Purity in Actions: The hadith highlights the importance of maintaining purity in our actions. Allah accepts only that which is pure, whether it is in our deeds, intentions, or provisions. It serves as a reminder for us to be mindful of the halal (lawful) and haram (unlawful) aspects of our lives and strive to adhere to what is permissible.

2. Following the Commands of Allah: The hadith mentions that Allah commands believers to follow the same guidance given to the messengers. This implies that we should not only focus on our personal desires or opinions but rather adhere to the divine instructions and teachings found in the Quran and the Prophet's (peace be upon him) Sunnah.

3. Importance of Halal Consumption: The hadith emphasizes the significance of consuming lawful and permissible food and provisions. We are encouraged to eat from the good things that Allah has provided us. This highlights the need for practicing halal dietary habits and being conscious of the source and quality of our food.

4. Futility of Unlawful Supplication: The hadith presents a scenario of a person in a desperate state, raising their hands in supplication, but their sustenance and provisions are from unlawful sources. It teaches us that engaging in haram practices while seeking Allah's assistance or supplicating for our needs is contradictory and may hinder the acceptance of our prayers.

5. Reflecting on Unlawful Actions: The hadith invites us to reflect on our actions, particularly those that may involve unlawful means. It prompts us to evaluate our choices, seek repentance for past wrongdoings, and make efforts to rectify our conduct by adhering to the halal and avoiding the haram.

Overall, the hadith encourages us to cultivate purity in our actions, intentions, and provisions, and to be mindful of the importance of following Allah's commands and seeking lawful means in our daily lives. It reminds us of the relationship between our actions and the acceptance of our supplications by Allah.

To be continued InShaAllah!

Today, I continued exploring functions from Program F11, starting from frame 75 on page 307 of the book. I explained the concepts of odd and even functions and discussed their properties. I also explained how to identify whether a function is odd, even, or neither. Building upon these ideas, I derived the hyperbolic cosine and sine functions.

Being Content: A 'BULLET PROOF' Quality

One of the most important qualities that a human being should strive to acquire is contentment and the ability to not feel sad when someone else is blessed with a favor that one doesn't have. This is a difficult trait to cultivate, but when achieved, it can bring immense happiness. Let us pray that Allah grants us this great quality.

This "bullet proof" was inspired from one of by one of my beloved teachers, Ashayk (Dr) Sharafudeen Gbadebo Raji's lecture (may Allah be pleased with him and ease his affairs in this world and the hereafter). During one of his weekly sittings (I think Al-adab mufrad class), Shayk was explaining why it is essential not to be sad if Allah favors someone else.

Shayk narrated a story about Shayk Ibn Baaz, Shayk Albanny and their students. It was reported that students used to inform Shayk Ibn Baaz that many people attended Shayk Albanny's sittings more than his own but surprisingly, Shayk Ibn Baaz replied by quoting this verse of the Holy Quran
"ذَٰلِكَ فَضْلُ ٱللَّهِ يُؤْتِيهِ مَن يَشَآءُ ۚ وَٱللَّهُ ذُو ٱلْفَضْلِ ٱلْعَظِيمِ ٤,"
meaning "This is the favor of Allah. He grants it to whoever He wills. And Allah is the Lord of infinite bounty."

Imagine if we all could adopt this mindset when someone close to us is favored by Allah with any blessing we are also looking forward to.

As human beings, we often feel sad when someone else receives a blessing that we were also hoping for. We may be saddened when a friend succeeds, forgetting that Allah has given us other favors that our friend does not have. For instance, if your friend ypu graduated together, got employed, and you are still searching, you should not be sad because Allah might have compensated you with a happy family (with children) while your friend is still waiting for the same after years of marriage.

Similarly, your friend might win a contract that you were competing for, and you may feel sad and harbor hate towards him, forgetting that he is nursing an illness that you do not have. SubhanaLlah!

My friends, let us be grateful for what Allah has done for us. We cannot have everything in this world, and some blessings may be delayed, but we must not take each other as enemies or harbor hatred on some.

When I look at what Allah has given me, which you don't have, and you look at what Allah has blessed you with, which I lack, we would appreciate each other and not let envy or jealousy take hold of our hearts.

May Allah forgive us and grant us contentment (Aameen).

Mashallah..... OP can you please do more clearification on the no.2 excessive questioning. I have some concern about the excessive questioning.... Curiosity is another reason we have a lot of discoveries and inventions by nothing doing much might limit the brain not to function to its full capacity...... In sciences question are mostly unlimited in other to come about new things

As scholars interpret this, some questions are deemed unnecessary. One of my teachers, Ustadh Eleyinke, gave a scenario of what happened between Prophet Musa and the children of Israel. When they were asked to sacrifice a cow, they kept questioning the Prophet about the specifics such as the color, height, and weight of the camel until Allah recommended a very expensive solution known as sofroy.

We have come to the end of our review on the etiquette of using the phone in Islam. I hope that you have gained some valuable insights and practical tips on how to use this technology in a way that is beneficial and respectful to others.

Please feel free to share your thoughts and feedback on what you have learned from the book so far!

This week, we will review the eight hadith of the forty hadith of An-nawawih. For the past review, see here


Hadith 9 states:

Abu Hurayrah reported that he heard the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) saying: "Whatever I forbid you, stay away from it, and whatever I command you, do as much of it as you can. For verily, the people before you were only destroyed because of their excessive questioning and their disagreeing with their Prophets." (Narrated by al-Bukhari and Muslim)

Below are some of the lessons we can derive from this hadith:

1. The importance of obedience to Allah and His Messenger: The Prophet (peace be upon him) instructed his followers to avoid what he has forbidden and to do what he has ordered to the best of their ability. This highlights the importance of following the guidance of Allah and His Messenger in our daily lives.

2. The danger of excessive questioning: The Prophet (peace be upon him) mentioned that excessive questioning and contradicting the prophets before them led to their destruction. This shows the importance of avoiding unnecessary questions and trusting in the guidance given by Allah and His Messenger.

3. The consequences of disobedience: The Prophet (peace be upon him) warned his followers of the destructive consequences of disobedience. This highlights the seriousness of disobeying Allah and His Messenger and the importance of striving to do what is right.

4. The importance of learning from the past: The Prophet (peace be upon him) referred to the destruction of those before us as a lesson to be learned from. This highlights the importance of studying history and learning from the mistakes of previous generations.

As we enter the 22nd day of Shawwal, it is important to remind ourselves of the virtue of fasting six days of Shawwal after Ramadan. Fasting these six days is equivalent to fasting the entire year, as the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) said.

If you haven't already fasted these six days, I encourage you to use the remaining days of Shawwal to do so. Not only will you be rewarded greatly for your efforts, but you will also benefit from the physical and spiritual benefits of fasting. You can still start today!

May Allah make it easy for us all to fast these six days and accept our good deeds. Ameen.

In our weekly review of the book, "The Islamic Etiquettes of Using the Telephone", we next today review Chapter 18 of the book "Excessive use of phone". Past review here

The author admonished us to be cautious of excessive phone usage to avoid becoming addicted to it. Many people fall prey to this addiction, using their phones from the moment they wake up, similar to a child's reliance on its mother's breast. They then spend their time calling from house to house and office to office, satisfying their own needs while disturbing others. We can only offer them supplications for goodness and advise them to stop this excessive behavior.

Some of the lessons from this Chapter are:

1. Excessive use of the phone can lead to addiction and negatively impact one's life.

2. Some people use the phone excessively, starting from the moment they wake up, and this can be harmful to themselves and others.

3. Using the phone excessively can cause inconvenience and annoyance to others.

4. It is important to be mindful of how much time we spend on the phone and to use it in moderation.

5. If someone is addicted to using the phone excessively, they should be advised to seek help and give up this harmful habit.

This week, we will review the eight hadith of the forty hadith of An-nawawih. For the past review, see here


Hadith 8 states:

"On the authority of ʽAbdullāh, the son of ʽUmar bin al-Khaṭṭāb that the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: "I have been ordered to fight people until they testify that there is no god but Allah and that Muḥammad is the Messenger of Allah and perform the prayers
and give the zakāh. If they do that, they are protected from me regarding their blood and their properties unless by the right of Islam, and their account will be with Allah, the Exalted."
(Narrated by al-Bukhāri and Muslim)"

Lessons

- The obligation of performing the five pillars of Islam (testifying that there is no god but Allah, performing the prayers, giving zakat, fasting during Ramadan, and performing Hajj) for Muslims.
- The importance of fighting to establish the truth and to protect the Muslim community.
- The sanctity of human life and property, which should be protected unless violated by the right of Islam.
- The accountability of people's actions will ultimately be with Allah, the Exalted.

It is important to note that this hadith is often taken out of context and misused by some extremist groups to justify violence against innocent people. Therefore, it is crucial to understand its proper interpretation in its historical and textual context.

Lukuluku69:
Good one brother.

I have a question. I usually start the Six in Shawwal TWO DAYS after Ramadan ends meaning the Eid day and the following day, then start. But wifey is of the opinion that the 3rd is also part of Eid and as it is not allowed to fast on Eid days, I should wait and comments the Six in Shawwal the Fourth day.

Anything wrong with me leaving aside the Eid day and the day that follows and start on the 3rd day?

Any evidence from the Sunnah?

Thanks

Yea you can start from tomorrow. The claim is only true for Eid L Adha

Fasting six days of Shawwal after completing the obligatory fasts of Ramadan is considered as a Sunnah Mustahabbah (recommended act). Muslims are encouraged to fast six days of Shawwal, as it carries immense virtue and reward. According to a saheeh hadeeth from the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him), whoever fasts these six days will be rewarded as if they had fasted for a whole year.

Abu Ayyoob (may Allaah be pleased with him) reported that the Messenger of Allaah (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said, "Whoever fasts Ramadan and follows it with six days of Shawwal, it will be as if he fasted for a lifetime."

To all the Muslims on Nairaland, may the blessings of Allah continue to be with us, and may we witness more of Eid in life in sound faith, wealth and good health.

All praise be to Allah.

In the scenario where Eid falls on a Friday, those who attend Eid prayers with the Imam are not obligated to attend Jumu’ah, but it is recommended for them to do so. However, if they choose not to attend Jumu’ah, they must offer the Zuhr prayer instead. This ruling applies to everyone except the Imam who is required to lead the Jumu’ah prayer and attend it with the Muslims. It is important to note that completely skipping Jumu’ah prayer on this day is not permissible.

Eid Mubarak! May Allah accept your fasts, prayers, and good deeds during the month of Ramadan. As we celebrate this joyous occasion, let us remember the teachings of the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) and follow the Sunnah etiquette of Eid.

Eid is a day of joy, thanksgiving, worship, brotherhood, solidarity, and morality in Islam. It's a time for Muslims to come closer to Allah, Most High.

The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said, “Every nation has its festival, and this is your festival.” He referred to the fact that these two `Eids are exclusively for Muslims.

The Muslims have no festivals apart from `Eidul-Fitr and `Eidul-Adha. Anas (may Allah be pleased with him) said, “The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) came to Al-Madinah, and the people used to have two festivals. On those two days, they had carnivals and festivities. The Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) asked the Ansar (the Muslims of Madinah) about it. They replied that before Islam, they used to have carnivals on those two joyous days. The Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) told them, “Instead of those two days, Allah has appointed two other days that are better, the days of `Eidul-Fitr and `Eidul-Adha.” (Abu Dawud)

These two `Eids are among the signs of Allah, and we must show consideration and understand their objectives. Below, we will elaborate on the rulings and etiquette of `Eid.

Rulings of `Eid

1. Fasting: It is haram to fast on the days of `Eid because of the hadith of AbuSa`id Al-Khudri (may Allah be pleased with him) in which he said that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) forbade fasting on the day of Fitr and the day of Adha. (Muslim)

2. Offering `Eid Prayers: Some scholars say that `Eid Prayers are Wajib (obligatory). This is the view of the Hanafi scholars and Sheikh al-Islam Ibn Taymiyah. Some scholars say that `Eid Prayer is Fard Kifayah (a communal duty, binding on the Muslims as a group, and it is fulfilled if a sufficient number of people perform it, thereby absolving the rest of sin). This is the view of the Hanbalis. A third group says that `Eid Prayer is Sunnah Mu’akkadah. This is the view of the Malikis and Shafi`is.

3. Offering Supererogatory Prayers: There are no Supererogatory Prayers to be offered either before or after the `Eid Prayer, as Ibn `Abbas reported that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) used to come out on the day of `Eid and pray two rak`ahs, with nothing before or after them. This is the case if the Prayer is offered in an open area. However, if the people pray the `Eid Prayer in a mosque, they should pray two Rak`ahs for Tahiyat Al-Masjid.

4. Women attending the `Eid Prayers: According to the Sunnah of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), everyone is urged to attend `Eid Prayer and to cooperate with one another in righteousness and piety. The menstruating woman should not forsake the remembrance of Allah or places of goodness such as gatherings for the purpose of seeking knowledge and remembering Allah – apart from mosques. Women, undoubtedly, should not go out without the Hijab.

Etiquette of `Eid

1. Taking a Bath (Ghusl): It is considered one of the good manners of `Eid to take a bath before heading out to the Prayer. It is reported that Sa`id ibn Jubayr said: “Three things are Sunnah on `Eid: to walk (to the prayer-place), to take a bath, and to eat before coming out (if it’s `Eidul-Fitr).”

2. Eating before going out: It is recommended to eat some dates before heading out to the Prayer on `Eidul-Fitr. This is based on a hadith narrated by Al-Bukhari from Anas ibn Malik, in which he said: “The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) would not go out in the morning of `Eidul-Fitr until he had eaten some dates… and he would eat an odd number.” On `Eidul-Adha, it is recommended not to eat until after the Prayer, when one should eat from the meat of their sacrifice.

3. Making Takbir on `Eid: This is one of the greatest Sunnahs of `Eid. It is reported that when Ibn `Umar came out on `Eidul-Fitr and `Eidul-Adha, he would strive hard in making Takbir until he reached the prayer-place, then he would continue making Takbir until the Imam came.

4. Exchanging congratulations and good greetings: People may exchange congratulations and good greetings on `Eid, no matter what form the words take. For example, they may say to one another, “Taqabbal Allahu minnaa wa minkum (may Allah accept from us and from you our good deeds!)”. Jubayr ibn Nufayr said: “At the time of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) when people met one another on the day of `Eid, they would say, ‘Taqabbal Allahu minnaa wa minka.’” (Ibn Hajar)

5. Wearing best clothes: It is recommended for men and women to wear their best clothes on `Eid. Jabir (may Allah be pleased with him) said: “The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) had a Jubbah (cloak) that he would wear on `Eid and on Fridays.” Al-Bayhaqi reported that Ibn `Umar used to wear his best clothes on `Eid.

6. Changing route on returning from Prayer-place: Jabir ibn `Abdullah (may Allah be pleased with him) reported that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) used to change his route on the day of `Eid. (Al-Bukhari)

Today is the 29th of Ramadan, and Eid Fitr might be tomorrow based on the sighting of the crescent moon tonight and the announcement by the Muslim leader in Nigeria, Sultan. I want to remind you to strive to complete your fasting and to give your Zakaat fitri before Eid.

Zakaat fitri is an obligation for all Muslims who have the means to give it. It is typically paid in the form of food items and is given to the poor and needy in the community. The recommended amount to give is equivalent to one Sa'a (approximately 3 kg) of grain such as rice. The deadline for giving Zakaat fitri is before the Eid prayer.

Please remember that Zakaat fitri is an important aspect of our worship during Ramadan, and it helps to purify our fasting and ensure that the less fortunate members of our community can also celebrate Eid with joy and happiness.

May Allah accept our fasting, prayers, and good deeds during this blessed month, and may He grant us all a joyous and blessed Eid.

Eid Mubarak

Please, what is the equivalent measurement in Nigeria for Rice or Garri

The same measurement. Sa'a =3kg

In our weekly review of the book, "The Islamic Etiquettes of Using the Telephone", we next today review Chapter 16 of the book.

This chapter discusses the harm that can be caused over the telephone and specifically addresses the issue of recording conversations without the permission and knowledge of the speaker. The chapter cites a hadith that emphasizes the importance of keeping confidential information private and warns against betraying the trust of others. The chapter further explains that recording conversations without permission and then distributing them or altering them in any way is an act of deception and a breach of trust. The use of recordings as evidence is also deemed weak and unreliable. Overall, the chapter stresses the importance of being trustworthy and maintaining good character and manners in all interactions, including telephone conversations.

This week, we will review the seventh hadith of the forty hadith of An-nawawih. For the past review, see here


Hadith 7 states:

عَنْ أَبِي رُقَيَّةَ تَمِيمِ بْنِ أَوْسٍ الدَّارِيِّ رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهُ، أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ صلى الله عليه وسلم قَالَ: "الدِّينُ النَّصِيحَةُ". قُلْنَا: لِمَنْ؟ قَالَ: "لِلَّهِ، وَلِكِتَابِهِ، وَلِرَسُولِهِ، وَلِأَئِمَّةِ الْمُسْلِمِينَ وَعَامَّتِهِمْ". [رَوَاهُ مُسْلِمٌ]

On the authority of Abu Ruqayyah Tamim bin Aus ad-Dari, may Allah be pleased with him, that the Prophet, peace be upon him, said: "The religion is sincerity." We said: "To whom?" He said: "To Allah, His Book, His Messenger, and to the leaders of the Muslims and their common folk." [Reported by Muslim]

This hadith highlights the importance of sincerity in religion. It emphasizes that the foundation of the religion is based on sincerity and good intentions. The Prophet (peace be upon him) explains that sincerity should be directed towards Allah, His Book, and His Messenger, as well as the leaders and common people of the Muslim community.

This hadith teaches Muslims to be sincere in their actions and to have pure intentions when practicing their religion. It reminds them that the ultimate goal of any religious practice should be to please Allah and to seek His reward.

The hadith teaches several lessons:

1. The importance of sincerity in religion: The word "naseehah" in the hadith is often translated as "sincerity" or "sincere advice". This indicates that one's religious practice should be motivated by a genuine desire to please Allah and follow His commands, rather than for show or personal gain.

2. The comprehensive nature of religion: The hadith lists several entities that are deserving of our sincere advice, including Allah, His Book, His Messenger, and the Muslim leaders and community. This highlights the idea that religion is not just a set of private rituals, but encompasses all aspects of life, including social and political relationships.

3. The importance of following the guidance of Muslim leaders: The inclusion of Muslim leaders in the hadith's list of entities deserving of sincere advice emphasizes the importance of following the guidance of qualified religious scholars and leaders in matters of religion and governance.

4. The importance of community: The mention of "the Muslim leaders and their common folk" in the hadith highlights the importance of the Muslim community as a whole, and the need to work together to support and uplift one another in matters of religion and worldly affairs.

Praise be to Allah.

Zakat al-fitr is a compulsory charity paid by every self-supporting Muslim who possesses one saa’ or more of food for himself and his family on the day and night of Eid.

The evidence for this is the report narrated by Ibn 'Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) who said: "The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) enjoined Zakat al-fitr, a saa' of dates or a saa' of barley, upon all the Muslims, slave and free, male and female, young and old, and he commanded that it be paid before the people went out to pray." This is agreed upon by Al-Bukhari.

It is also narrated by Abu Sa'eed Al-Khudri that: "We used to pay Zakat al-fitr during the lifetime of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him), a saa' of food or a saa' of dates or a saa' of barley or a saa' of raisins or a saa' of dried yoghurt." This is also agreed upon.

It is permissible to give a saa' of the local staple food such as rice etc.

A saa' is equivalent to four times the amount that can be held in the two hands of a man of average build, as specified by the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him). Failure to pay Zakat al-fitr is a sin, and it must be made up.

As for the mentioned hadeeth, we are unsure of its authenticity.

May Allah give us strength and make our words and deeds righteous. And Allah is the source of strength.

All praise is due to Allah.

As Muslims, we are required to observe the five pillars of Islam, and one of these is giving zakat (zakat on wealth). It's important to note that zakat al-fitr (also known as Sadaqatul-fitr), which must be paid at the end of Ramadan, is different from the regular zakat on wealth.

Brothers and sisters, let us not forget that the time for giving zakat al-fitr is fast approaching. Remember that this must be paid before Eid al-Fitr, so make sure you fulfill this obligation in a timely manner.

May Allah accept our good deeds and make it easy for us to fulfill our duties towards Him. Ameen.

This week, we will review the sixth hadith of the forty hadith of An-nawawih. For the past review, see here


Hadith 6 states:

"Verily, Halal is clear and Haram is clear, and between them are doubtful matters about which many people do not know. Thus, he who avoids doubtful matters clears himself in regard to his religion and his honor, but he who falls into doubtful matters falls into that which is unlawful, like the shepherd who pastures around a sanctuary, all but grazing therein. Truly every king has a sanctuary, and truly Allah's sanctuary is His prohibitions. Truly in the body there is a morsel of flesh which, if it be whole, all the body is whole and which, if it be diseased, all of it is diseased. Truly it is the heart."


The main lesson from this hadith is the importance of avoiding doubtful matters in order to protect one's faith and honor. The hadith emphasizes that the line between Halal and Haram is clear, but there are some matters that are doubtful and can lead to confusion.

Therefore, one should strive to stay away from these doubtful matters to avoid falling into what is unlawful.

The example given in the hadith of a shepherd grazing around a sanctuary illustrates the danger of being too close to what is prohibited. The shepherd may not be grazing inside the sanctuary, but by grazing around it, he is still at risk of crossing the boundary and entering the prohibited area. Similarly, by engaging in doubtful matters, one is putting oneself at risk of crossing the boundary and falling into what is forbidden.

The hadith also emphasizes the importance of the heart, which is considered the center of a person's faith and spirituality. The state of one's heart is crucial to the state of their entire being, and therefore, one should take care to protect their heart from disease by avoiding doubtful matters.

In summary, the hadith teaches that avoiding doubtful matters is a crucial part of protecting one's faith and honor. By staying away from these matters, one can ensure that they are not inadvertently falling into what is unlawful, and can keep their heart pure and free from disease.

A sister has accomplished the impressive feat of reading four complete Qur'ans during this Ramadan.

If you are looking to achieve a similar accomplishment, consider reading two Juz per day to finish the entire Qur'an in the remaining days of this blessed month.

Alternatively, you can read one Juz per day to complete half of the Qur'an by the end of Ramadan.

With the holy month of Ramadan already halfway over, let us seize this opportunity to engage in acts of worship and seek the acceptance of Allah for our efforts (Aameen).

PS: How many have you read?
