What to do in the closing days of Shaʿbān?

By Muftī Zubair Bayat حفظه الله تعالى

Now that Ramaḍān is drawing near and very few days of Shaʿbān are left (for Sultan counting see here ). However the following should be done as a kind of preparation for the glorious months:

1. Make a lot of Istighfār and Taubah.

Ask Allāh ‎سبحانه وتعالى to forgive us, purify our hearts and cleanse us so that our hearts can become worthy from the very beginning of Ramaḍān to take the Nūr and Anwār of Ramaḍān. If the heart is polluted, corrupted and dirty, then you will find it difficult to take the Anwār of Ramaḍān from the beginning. It might be a few days or even weeks before our hearts become receptive to the Nūr of Ramaḍān.

2. Read up on Ramaḍān

The ‘Fadhaail of Ramaḍān’ (by Hazrat Shaykh Zakariyya Khandelwi رحمة الله عليه) is recommended. If you don’t have the time to read all the commentary on the Aḥādīth, at least read just the Aḥādīth. There can’t be greater inspiration than the words of our beloved Rasūl صلى الله عليه و سلم. It will kindle the flames of shauq (desire) for reaching Allāh ‎سبحانه وتعالى.

3. Draw up a timetable

( See, for timetable. All extra activities should be curtailed. It's not a month for leisure and hobbies, it's a month to connect with Allāh ‎سبحانه وتعالى; give yourself to Him completely. Set times for various Ibādāt, giving priority and majority time to Qurʿān and not forgetting to add times for rest. A timetable is in itself it is a Nīyyah on which one receives reward. If for some genuine reason we were unable to do some Ibādāt, the reward will still be secured ‎ان شاء الله.


4. Set goals for Tilāwah

It will serve as a motivation. Doing less than 1 khatm in Ramaḍān is real ingratitude to the Kalām of Allāh ‎سبحانه وتعالى.

Events such as weddings, etc are planned meticulously for weeks and months in advance - why do we not plan and prepare well for Ramaḍān and other holy occasions to make it go smoothly and gain full benefit??

‎اَللّٰهُمَّ سَلِّمْنَا لِرَمَضَانَ وَسَلِّمْهُ لَنَ وَتَسْلِمْهُ مُتَقَبَّلاً

May Allah save us from disbelieving Him

, you said my mind

Rashduct4luv:
You know as a Shiite you support temporary marriage so renting of wombs won't be a problem to you guys!

Womb is part of the reproductive system. So renting it out is haram.

That is different from surrogate

Guest007:
What is the womb giving the child, is blood exchanged? What I love about Islam... not. Most Muslims, but Islam is if you wonder and reflect and try to understand first before jumping on it. Islam is Wisdom jor

Someone answer my question! Was blood exchange between child 'host' because if it has then technically, yall are like blood related

Your source is Wikipedia

Op... what about wet nurses. They breast feed the child isn't that a third party?

Arab hypocrisy shining through

Rashduct4luv:
Abu Abdallah, Jazaak Allahu khayran for this reminder.

Islaam is a pure religion and thus emphasizes greatly on the preservation and purity of one’s lineage. This is maintained by having no involvement from a third person. A child’s parents are his father and mother.

I read a post here where a gay guy wanted a kid and had to go for surrogacy with his mum. Hence, his mother became the mother of her own grandchild.

What a confused world!

Key word from the OP's post in red above.

In Summary, Renting wombs is haram and artificial insemination may be permitted if only the couple is involved in the process without a third party.

Asalam Alaekum WaramotuLah Wabarakatuh,

As Ramadan approaches, I am happy to remind you that one of the good deeds that can earn you a great reward during Ramadan is by reading and listening to comprehensive meaning of Quran (Tafseer) during the period. Hence, this thread serves to collate the list of reliable Tafseer classes available in our areas.

Kindly supply this information for the benefit of any Muslims who is new to your environment or those that have been living but not aware if there is any that is/are available.

This is for your attention respected brothers; Sissie, Mukina2, AbuUbayy1, Rashduct4luv and AbuTwins.

Prepare for the glorious month for He (Allah) alone knows the last we are going to observe on the earth surface. We pray Allah make righteous deeds in the month easier for us and make us witness more of it in sound health, wealth and faith.

In Yoruba, Aku imura awe ooo.

In sha Allah, by this time of next week, we would have been in the glorious month of Ramadan (May Allah count us among those that will witness and benefit from abundance mercies and rewards He bestows on the month-Ameen).

Part of the bpreparation for Ramadan is to highlight good deeds that can be done during the month with the aim of drawing maximum benefits from this Glorious month. So, one is expected to set a routine or timetable.

Below presentation adapted from Darul Ihsan Humanitarian Centre, South Africa offers a practical and suggested routine that one may adopt in Ramadan. This guide is to help one develop and maintain some form of consistency in the month but not limited to numerous righteous deeds that can fetch you great rewards during the month.

1. Eat Sahri

Partake in the early morning meal (Sahri). This is a Sunnah practice that contains abundant blessings and rewards. The Prophet (May peace be upon him) said, "Eat Suhor, because in it, lies great blessings" (Bukhari, Muslim).

2. Observe Tahajjud

Plan your time in such a way that you are able to perform 4-8 Rakahs of Tahajjud and make Dua during this time. The Prophet (May peace be upon him) said "The Dua in the darkness of the night (after performing Tahajjud) is readily accepted by Allah" (Tirmdhi).

3. Observe Fajr

Perform Fajr Salah with congregation at the Masjid and recite morning Adhkars. Participate in the lesson or talks conducted in the Masjid with the intention to seek beneficial knowledge and practice. Engage in Dhikr till sunrise.


Perform Ishraq

Avoid sleeping immediately after fajr and engage in Quran recitation. Perform 4 Rakahs Ishraq after sunsine. One may then sleep thereafter.

Sunnah of Duha and Zawwal

When the sun is brightly up, perform 4 Rakahs Duha and after Zawwal, perform 4 Rakahs Sunnah of Zawwal

Dua at the time of Zawwal

Take a few moments to make dua at the time of Zawwal as this is also recorded as a time of acceptance.

Observe Zuhr

Perform Zuhr in congregation. If possible, allocate few minutes to engage in Quran recitation. Participate in any educational program taking place (like Tafseer). Have a short rest with the intention of the afternoon sleep which is Sunnah (Islam is beautiful).

Observe Asr

Perform Asr in congregation. The time between between Asr and Magrib is very valuable especially for recitation of Quran. If possible, remain in the the Masjid till Magrib. The time close to iftar is a time when duas are accepted. Attend Tafseer. Sisters should you use this time to prepare what we are going to eat in Iftor .

Observe Magrib

Observe Magrib in congregation. Before or after meals, read from virtues of Ramadan or other useful literature. Prepare for Ishai and Tarawiyy.

Observe Ishai

Make sure you perform Ishai and Tarawiyy in congregation.

After Tarawiyy

Avoid wasting time and hanging out with friends e.t.c. Read your Quran.

I have heard what is more than this

In the Name of Allaah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful.

As-salaamu ‘alaykum wa-rahmatullaahi wa-barakaatuh.

It is important to understand that it is Allaah Ta’aala who grants couples children and it is He who deprives them of children. Consider the following verse:

يَهَبُ لِمَنْ يَشَاءُ إِنَاثًا وَيَهَبُ لِمَنْ يَشَاءُ الذُّكُورَ (49) أَوْ يُزَوِّجُهُمْ ذُكْرَانًا وَإِنَاثًا وَيَجْعَلُ مَنْ يَشَاءُ عَقِيمًا إِنَّهُ عَلِيمٌ قَدِيرٌ

Translation: He grants to whomever He so wills female offspring and He grants to whomever He so wills male offspring. Or He bestows (upon some) both males and females. And He makes barren whomever He so wills. Indeed, He is All-Knowing, All-mighty. (Ash-Shooraa v.49-50)

Islaam is a pure religion and thus emphasizes greatly on the preservation and purity of one’s lineage. This is maintained by having no involvement from a third person. A child’s parents are his father and mother.

Accordingly, surrogacy or the involvement of a third person in reproduction is not permissible[1].

If a couple is unable to bear children, they should firstly turn to Allaah Ta’aala with the following du’aa:

رَبِّ هَبْ لِي مِن لَّدُنْكَ ذُرِّيَّةً طَيِّبَةً إِنَّكَ سَمِيعُ الدُّعَاءِ
(Robbi abli min ladunka dhuriyyatan toyyibatan innaka semiu l dua

This is the du’aa of Sayyiduna Zakariyyaa (‘Alaihis salaam) when he was faced with a similar situation. Allaah Ta’aala accepted his du’aas despite his old age and barren wife.

Alternatively, a couple may consider adoption. That is indeed a virtuous deed.



And Allaah Ta’aala Knows Best.

So when did Ajimobi turns to Abiodun from Abiola

The Chief Imam of Ebiraland, Alhaji Musa Galadima, has died in the early hours of Friday at the age of 98 years, the News Agency of Nigeria reports.

Galadima, who was turbaned Chief Imam about 55 years ago, died in a private hospital in Abuja. He was buried today at Okene according to Islamic rites.

He is survived by wives, children and many grandchildren.

The state governor, Alhaji Yahaya Bello, described Galadima’s death as painful in a statement in Lokoja.

“He was a humble, gentle and serious Islamic teacher whose tutelage extended beyond Nigeria.

“The late Chief Imam was God-fearing, honest, disciplined, and obedient to the constituted authority especially the traditional institution,” the governor said in the statement by his Chief Press Secretary, Mr Mohammed Onogwu.

The governor urged other Islamic clerics to emulate the life led by the deceased.

Bello then condoled with the Ohinoyi of Ebiraland, Alhaji Ado Ibrahim, the deceased wives, children, relatives, friends, followers and the entire Muslim community over the death of the late Chief Imam.

He prayed to Allah to forgive the shortcomings of the deceased and make Aljannat Firdaus his final resting place.

If you know Italia police will embarrass with multiple questions and searching when you arrive their airport because of these pigs

udatso:
Assalamu alaykum. I have a question ya akh.
When we say Allah will provide, I believe we mean that we have a plan and we are working towards it while praying and hoping Allah provides. It's similar to not doing something that will harm us and then pray to Allah to protect us. You can't stab yourself and then say Allah will protect me. I find it foolish.
Someone is on a pay of 30k monthly and with his business, he is able to take care of his wife and five kids conveniently and decided not to have more kids for now by means of temporary family planning. Without any more source of income or plan to find other means to provide for his family, is your article suggesting that this man is wrong and should just keep having babies as long as the wife is up for it?
Rashduct4luv your attention is needed here please Sir.

Secondly in your explanation of one of the verses you said
No one would deny that if the ummah is great in number this will lend it pride and strength.

I understand the point of pride. But as for strength, does this strength refer to power when fighting non muslims in jihad?

Wa alekum Salam Waramotulah wabarakatuh akhee. Thanks for your question. The fact is you can't take care of a child even if you are earning a million monthly. Do an assignment tonight sir, calculate your expenditure as against your income you will see the former is always greater than the latter this confirm that Allah is the one who provide risq and each individual comes with theirs. So, the scholar said you can plan your family but not for the fact that you are afraid of what to give them because your spending is not a function of your earning. A woman who had her delivery through CS may stop for a while on the advise of a sincere doctor. In essense, It is Allah that provide. I hope this is understood sir?

Thief still get mouth. It's a pity. Someone should slap his face for me

Rashduct4luv:
Jazaak Allaah khayran Aboo 'Abdallah for this piece. What about the ruling on 'Azl (Coitus interruptus) and rubber?

Wa antum fajazakumLah khaeran Sir. As you have taught us sir, coupled with what we heard from our scholars. 'Azl and use of condom are permissible if not done in fear of poverty and does satisfies the conditions highlighted above in the main post.

I remind you we are still in the Glorious month of Sha'aban (the month preceding Ramadan) and revise the two Aahadiths on the virtue of fasting in this month:

1. The blessed companion Usama ibn Zaid , reports that he asked Prophet Muhammad : "Messenger of Allah, I have seen you fasting in the month of Shaban so frequently that I have never seen you fasting in any other month." Prophet Muhammad , replied: "That (Shaban) is a month between Rajab and Ramadan which is neglected by many people. And it is a month in which an account of the deeds (of human beings) is presented before the Lord of the universe, so, I wish that my deeds be presented at a time when I am in a state of fasting."

2. Ummul Mu'mineen 'Aishah (r), says, "Prophet Muhammad , used to fast for most of Shaban. I said to him, 'Messenger of Allah, is Shaban your favorite month for fasting?' He said, 'In this month Allah prescribes the list of the persons dying this year. Therefore, I like that my death comes when I am in a state of fasting.' "

These reports indicate that fasting in the month of Shaban, though not obligatory but is very deserving and that Prophet Muhammad did not like to miss it.(Islam city).

For more about information about the virtue of the month, see (https://www.islamicity.org/6013/fasting-in-shaban-to-honor-ramadan/)

Meanwhile, Today, Thursday, 18th, April 2019 is the 12th day of the month according to the counting of the Sultan of Sokoto as being updated daily by our brother, AbuUbayy1 (May Allah reward him) while Friday (19th), Saturday(20th), Sunday(21st), Monday (22nd of April) are 13th, 14th 15th of Sha'aban (Ayamul beed) and 16th (weekly sunnah fast) respectively.

For daily updated hijri calendar according to the Nigeria Supreme Council, visit (https://www.nairaland.com/4414970/todays-hijri-date/10)

To this end respected brethren, you are advised to take opportunity of these days to earn great reward, seek forgiveness, prepare for Ramadan and get your duah accepted. May Allah make it easy for us all. Do not forget to inform your relatives too for whoever points someone to righteous deed is as if he does it too. We pray Allah make us witness more of it on earth in good faith and sound health (Ameen).

Wasalam Alaykum Waramotulah wabarakatuh.

Shaykh Ibn ‘Uthaymeen (may Allaah have mercy on him) said:

What the Muslims should do is to have as many children as they can, because this is the command issued by the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) when he said, “Marry the one who is loving and fertile, for I will be proud of your great numbers.” Because increasing the number of children increases the size of the ummah, and being of great numbers is a source of pride, as Allaah said, reminding the Children of Israel of that (interpretation of the meaning):

“And We helped you with wealth and children and made you more numerous in man-power” [al-Israa’ 17:6]

And Shu’ayb said to his people:

“ ‘And remember when you were but few, and He multiplied you’”

[al-A’raaf 7:86 – interpretation of the meaning]

No one would deny that if the ummah is great in number this will lend it pride and strength. This is contrary to what is imagined by those who think evil thoughts, that the large numbers of the ummah is the cause of its poverty and hunger. If the ummah increases in number and relies on Allaah, and believes in His promise, in the aayah “And no moving (living) creature is there on earth but its provision is due from Allaah” [Hood 11:6 – interpretation of the meaning], then Allaah will make things easy for them and will grant them sufficient means from His Bounty.

On this basis, the answer to the question is as follows:

A woman should not use birth control pills unless the following two conditions are met:

(1)She should have a reason for that such as being sick and unable to bear a pregnancy every year, or being physically weak, or having other reasons why getting pregnant every year would be harmful for her.

(2) Her husband should give his permission, because the husband has the right to have children. This must also be done in consultation with a doctor, to find out whether taking these pills will be harmful to her or not.

If these two conditions are met, then it is OK for her to use these pills, but that should not be on a permanent basis, i.e., she should not use the type of birth control pills that prevent pregnancy permanently, because this is preventing progeny.

(Fataawa al-Mar’ah al-Muslimah, 2/657, 658)

Concerning the harms caused by contraception, the Shaykh (may Allaah have mercy on him) said:

Birth control pills: I have heard from a number of sources that doctors say they are harmful. Even if we do not know this from the doctors, we know it from ourselves, because preventing something natural that Allaah has created and decreed for the daughters of Adam is undoubtedly harmful. Allaah is Wise, and He has only created this blood which flows at certain times for a reason. If we prevent it with these medicines, that is harmful without a doubt.

But I have heard that the matter is worse than we imagine, that they may be a means of damaging the womb, and a means of causing nervous disorders. This is something we must beware of.

(Liqaa’ al-Baab al-Maftooh, question no. 1147)

Shaykh ‘Abd al-‘Azeez ibn Baaz (may Allaah have mercy on him) was asked:

What is the ruling on removing the uterus in order to avoid having children for medical reasons which are either present, or may occur in the future and have been predicted by medical and scientific means?

He answered: if that is necessary, then it is OK, otherwise it should not be done, because the Lawgiver urges us to have children and promotes that in order to increase the size of the ummah. But if there is a necessary reason then it is OK, just as it is permissible to use means of contraception for a limited time for a legitimate shar’i reason. (9/434)

What is said concerning the birth control pill may also be said concerning the coil. It has been definitely proven by the doctors that this contraceptive method causes harm, especially when it is used continually. It is known that the woman who has a coil inserted has an increased flow of menstrual blood, and her period may come twice a month, which causes an iron deficiency in her body. Iron is one of the important minerals which the body needs. Some women may become anaemic when they use the coil and it makes their periods longer, resulting in the woman losing a large amount of blood and thus a large amount of the iron stored in the body. It has also been proven that many women suffer infections of the uterus as a result of using the coil. Despite all this, a woman may become pregnant with the coil in place, as has happened to a number of women. We ask Allaah to keep us safe and sound.

And Allaah knows best.

As extracted from IslamQA.

In conclusion, we are aware some non-Muslim will come here to abuse, curse and talk ill about Islam without prior knowledge of what Islam means. You are kindly advised to be objective while reading. In essence, while reading, do not forget to remove any hatred lenses you are wearing about Islam. This will enable you see the truth.

May Allah guide us all.

One of us here, Mr (kyrianken) on Thursday have one of his post on FT named "The Need For Birth Control" (see, https://www.nairaland.com/5140151/need-birth-control).

A Muslim should not just take decision based on analysis of men for only Allah is free of error. He is Most wise who have knowledge of the unseen and know perfectly what we have no knowledge of. Muslims, before taking decision or being carried away with men analysis are advised to have a look about the Islamic ruling on birth control to have a well understanding about the topic (particularly when it is allowed in Islam).

It is called Shirk in Islam

Ramadan is less than a month now. We pray Allah make us all witness the Glorious month and beyond in good health and sound faith. I am reminding you through a nice poster from Smile Dawwah Concept , some of the interesting experiences we use to enjoy during the month.

While waiting for the month, let us renew our intention and possibly aspire and propose all good deeds that can fetch us reward during the period. Also, let us make use judiciously of the month of Shab'an in preparation of the great month. May Allah make righteous deeds our ways (Ameen).
