Subhanallah. Thanks ustadh

Lalasticlala, please let's discuss this. Some Sudan returnees have been asked to do the same this week to normalize their admissions back to Nigeria. Imagine the stress these guys are going to undertake in the name of stamping their documents.

FOR HOW LONG CAN HUSBAND AND WIFE LIVE SEPARATELY IN ISLAAM?

Questioner: For how long can a man travel leaving his wife behind?

Dr Sharof: It must not be more than four months. It must not be more than four months in as much as you do not want your wife to become wayward. A person who travels to England, neglecting his wife because of his work for four years, what is this? What kind of money do you want that requires you to neglect your wife for four years? For this reason, according to the Sharee’ah, it is permissible for a woman to take the issue to the correctors. Four years will be counted and after that if the husband is yet to arrive, she will do iddah (period of waiting) for four months and ten days; it will be assumed that the husband is dead. She will have to marry another husband, but this does not imply that her husband’s property will be shared. She will be asked to marry so that she will not become wayward. The property of the husband will not be shared until his age is calculated to have reached seventy, eighty, or ninety years. This is because it will be assumed that his colleagues would have been dead at about seventy, eighty or ninety years. The age to be used depends on the view of the corrector.

However, four years is required to make the wife free, but if her husband arrives after her waiting period, according to the Sharee’ah the man is still her legal husband on the basis of the initial marriage contract since it is (now) evident that he is not dead. If she had married a new husband before her initial husband arrives and she is yet to pack in, she still remains the wife of the initial husband. That is it.

A husband should not leave his wife for more than four months except if his wife approves of it. If her husband travels for twenty years and she approves of it, there is no difficultly in as much as she does not engage in illicit affairs. This is so because if one wishfully rejects his/her right, one cannot be censured for it. That is it.

A brother from the congregation: What if she had packed into the house of the new husband?

Dr Sharof: They (the scholars) say if the initial husband desires her, he will have to remarry her with a new contract. That is it.

A brother from the congregation: What if she has become the wife of the new husband?

Dr Sharof: That is what we explained.

The brother: Will the new husband have to divorce her?

Dr Sharof: The new husband will divorce her so that the initial husband marries her with a new contract.

The brother: What if the new husband decides not to divorce her?

Dr Sharof: If he decides not to divorce her, that’s the end. Things have changed.

With a free medical insurance integrated, I love this!

So are we now justifying forgery and criminality? I don't understand. I think we should all rise up to condemn the act (not rewarding) irrespective of the region she comes from.

Before you call for my head. Attached is the real score as released by jamb.

HUNTING, HERBAL MEDICINE AND SHIRK IN YORUBA LANDS; ANY CONNECTION?

Questioner: If hunting in the Yoruba lands has to do with worshipping ‘Ogun’, is it permissible to take the concoctions, decoctions, and herbal powders made in the Yoruba lands to combat malaria, nettle-rash (hives), pile, and some other diseases since they also have do with Shirk?

Dr Sharof: We are not the one who said hunting has to do with ‘Ogun’. This is what we have seen with the people. The assertion that these concoctions, decoctions, and herbal powders have to do with Shirk are mere claims that cannot be accepted until when proven otherwise. Produce your proofs if you are indeed truthful. Holding that all these people who deal with herbs and herbal powders engage in acts of Shirk requires a research. These (stuffs) do not have anything to do with shirk except the one who is a Mushrik. What is the evil inherent in knowing about malarial herbs? What is the evil inherent in knowing about malaria herbal powder, nettle-rash herbal powder, nettle-rash herbs, (and so on) even if you’re the Imaam of the Masjid? What is bad about it? There is no problem about that. If you leave the Masjid you can continue selling your malaria herbs and nettle-rash herbs. There is no problem about it. Do not have the thinking that everything the Yorubas do is forbidden. Do you regard them as the people of hell? What sort of rubbish is this? Are the whites who make phensic and panadol Muslims? Is the paracetamol you take made by the Muslims? What is this nonsense? That is it.

However, this does not imply that the one who sells these herbal powders should become an occultist. Do not become an idol worshipper because you are selling herbal powders, claiming that you inherit it from your father. Do not go to people who engage in such rubbish. You should only approach those who are sincere and do not engage in acts of Shirk. There is no harm about this.

Since Haj is among the most virtuous deeds in Islam, and not everyone can afford it (especially on a continuous basis) Allah Subhanahu wa Ta’ala has attached the reward of optional Haj to certain other deeds for the benefit of all.

Those without money to travel to Hajj can take consolation from the following narrations which promise of various other deeds yielding Haj rewards:


1. Wudhu at home before proceeding for Salaah with Jamaat.

عن أبي أمامة رضي الله عنه أن رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم قال

من خرج من بيته متطهرا إلى صلاة مكتوبة فأجره كأجر الحاج المحرم ومن خرج إلى تسبيح الضحى لا ينصبه إلا إياه فأجره كأجر المعتمر وصلاة على إثر صلاة لا لغو بينهما كتاب في عليين

رواه أبو داود (559)

Sayyiduna Abu Umaamah (radiyallahu’anhu) reports that Rasulullah (sallallahu ‘alaihi wa sallam) said: “One who purifies himself (i.e, makes wudhu) and leaves his home to attend the fardh salaah in congregation receives the reward of a Haji in the state of Ihram,

And if he leaves for the salaatu-Dhuhaa (Chaast) he gets the reward of ‘Umrah…

(Sunan Abi Dawud, hadith:559)

2. Salatul Ishraaq.

عن أنس بن مالك رضي الله عنه قال قال رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم

من صلى الغداة في جماعة ثم قعد يذكر الله حتى تطلع الشمس ثم صلى ركعتين كانت له كأجر حجة وعمرة قال قال رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم : تامة تامة تامة

رواه الترمذي وقال حديث حسن غريب (586)

Sayyiduna Anas Ibn Maalik (radiyallahu ‘anhu) reports that Rasulullah (sallallahu ‘alaihi wa sallam) said: “Whoever offers his Fajr salaah in congregation, and then remains seated making the dhikr (remembrance) of Allah until (approximately 15 mins after) sunrise after which he offers two rak’aats of salaah (Ishraaq), will receive the reward of one complete Haj and one complete ‘Umrah”

(Sunan Tirmidhi, hadith:586 with a sound chain)

N.B. Rasulullah (sallallahu ‘alaihi wa sallam) repeated the words: “complete” thrice.

3. Going to the Masjid to acquire Knowledge.

عن أبي أمامة رضي الله عنه عن النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم أنه قال

من غدا إلى المسجد لا يريد إلا أن يتعلم خيرا أو يعلمه، كان له كأجر حاج تاما حجته.

رواه الطبراني في الكبير(7473) بأسناد لابأس به. كذا في الترغيب 1/104، وقال العراقي في تخريج الإحياء(4253): وإسناده جيد. وانظر المستدرك للحاكم 1/91.

Sayyiduna Abu Umaamah (radiyallahu’anhu) reports that Rasulullah (sallallahu ‘alaihi wa sallam) said: “Whoever goes to the Masjid for the purpose of learning or teaching Knowledge, receives the reward of a Haji whose Haj was perfect.

(Tabarani, hadith:7473 with a sound chain. See Targheeb vol.1 pg.104 & Takhreejul Ihyaa, hadith:4253)

4. Umrah in Ramadhan.

عن ابن عباس أَنَّ النبى -صلى الله عليه وسلم- قال لاِمرأة من الأنصار يقال لَهَا أُمُّ سِنَان « ما منعكِ أَنْ تَكُونِى حَجَجْتِ معنا ». قالت ناضحان كانا لأَبى فلاَنٍ – زَوْجِهَا – حج هو وابْنُهُ على أحدهما وكان الآخر يسقى عليه غلامنا. قال « فعمرة فى رمضان تقضى حجة. أو حجة معى ».

رواه مسلم (1256)

Sayyiduna ‘Abdullah Ibn ‘Abbas (radiyallahu’anhuma) has reported that Rasulullah (sallallahu ‘alaihi wa sallam) passed by Ummu sinan while on his way to haj. “Why didn’t you accompany me for Haj?” he enquired. She said: “We only have 2 camels, one my husband has used to be with you in Haj, and the other is needed for transporting water.” Rasulullah (sallallahu ‘alaihi wa sallam) said: “ ‘Umrah in Ramadhan equals the reward of Haj with me”. (Sahih Muslim, hadith:1256)

5. To recite “Subhaanallah” 100 times in the morning and evening.

عن عبد الله بن عمرو رضي الله عنهما قال قال رسول الله صلى الله علي وسلم:

من سبح الله مائة بالغداة ومائة بالعشي كان كمن حج مائة مرة…الخ

رواه الترمذي (3471) وقال: حسن غريب.

Sayyiduna ‘Abdullah ibn ‘Amr (radiyallahu’anhuma) reported That Rasulullah said: “He who recites Subhaanallah 100 times in the morning and another 100 times in the evening is like one who performed Haj 100 times!”

(Sunan Tirmidhi, hadith:3471 with a sound chain)

6. Serving one’s Parents:

عن أنس رضي الله عنه قال أتى رجلٌ رسولَ الله صلى الله عليه وسلم فقال إني أشتهي الجهاد ولا أقدر عليه قال هل بقي مِن والديك أحدٌ قال أمي قال فاَبْلِ الله في برها فإذا فعلت ذلك فأنت حاج ومعتمر ومجاهد.

رواه أبو يعلى(2760) والطبراني في الصغير والأوسط، وإسنادهما جيد. كذا في الترغيب. 3/315، ومختصرالإتحاف للبوصيري (5721)

Sayyiduna Anas (radiyallahu’anhu) reports that a man came to Rasulullah (sallallahu ‘alaihi wa sallam) and said: “I wish to participate in Jihaad, but I cannot afford it” Rasulullah (sallallahu ‘alaihi wa sallam) enquired if any of his parents were alive, to which he said: “Yes! My mother is alive” Rasulullah (sallallahu ‘alaihi wa sallam) said: “Show Allah how you serve her. If you do so (duly) you will be like a: Haaji, a Mu’tamir (one doing ‘Umrah) and a Mujaahid (One striving in Allah’s way).”

(Abu Ya’la, hadith:2760, and Tabarani with good chains.-Targheeb, vol.3, pg. 315 & Mukhtasar Ithaaf, hadith:5721)

Hafidh Ibn Rajab Al-Hambali (rahimahullah) has quoted other deeds that yield the reward of Haj from various Predecessors (i.e, not necessarily from the hadith). All of the following have been extracted from his priceless work: Lataaiful Ma’aarif, pgs.357-359.
7. Attending the Jumu’ah Salaah.

Sa’eed ibnul Musayyab (rahimahullah) said: “Attending the Jumu’ah is better according to me than a nafl (voluntary) Haj.”

Hafidh Ibn ‘Asaakir (rahimahullah) has quoted a similar virtue via Imam Al-Awza’ie (rahimahullah)[1]

8. Attending the Eid Salaah.

Some of the Sahabah y have said: “Attending the Eidul Fitr Salaah equals the reward of ‘Umrah, and the Eidul Adha Salaah equals that of Haj.”

9. Esha Salaah in Congregation.

A reliable Tabi’e, Uqbah ibn ‘Abdil Ghaafir (rahimahullah) said: “Offering the Esha salaah[2] in congregation equals the reward of Haj, and the Fajr in congregation equals ‘Umrah”

10. Fulfilling the need of a fellow Muslim.

Imam Hasan Al-Basri (rahimahullah) said: “Your proceeding to fulfil the need a fellow muslim is better for you than one Haj after another!” (Also quoted By Zabeedi (rahimahullah) in Sharhul Ihyaa, vol.6 pg.292)

The fulfilment of all obligations.
After citing the above, Hafidh Ibn Rajab (rahimahullah) writes:

“The fulfilling of all obligatory deeds is considered better than Nafl (voluntary) Haj and ‘Umrah. This is due to (the Hadith in Sahih Bukhari which states that) the best way of attaining nearness to Allah is via the obligatory acts. However many people find it easy to carry out nafl Haj and ‘Umrah, but feel it difficult to fulfil the other responsibilities (Wajib acts) like repayment of debts and other such duties.

Abstinence from the haraam (forbidden) acts are also more virtuous than Nafl Haj etc.
Some of the Pious predecessors said: “To abstain from an iota of wrong is better than five hundred (Nafl) Haj”

Fudhail ibn ‘Iyadh (rahimahullah.) –the great sage of his age- said: “There is no Haj or Jihad that is more important than protecting one’s tongue” i.e, against sin.

Any act of Good during the first 10 days of Dhul Hijjah.

Hafidh Ibn Rajab (rahimahullah) has rightly pointed out:

“If the hadith has promised that any act of good done in these 10 days supersedes even the reward of Jihad, which is considered better than optional Haj too, that means all good done in these days will also supersede the reward of optional Haj.” (Pg.390)

The purpose here is not to discourage one from the actual Haj. (That is why it is being circulated now, when the Hajis have already begun to depart) Like they say: “There’s nothing like the real thing..”

Allah Ta’ala knows best, and may He grant us all the tawfeeq (ability) to practice on the above, as well as afford us the opportunity to perform the real Haj repeatedly. Ameen.

Exactly!

The time for offering the sacrifice begins after the 'Eid prayer on 'Eid al-Adha and continues until the sun sets on the thirteenth of Dhu'l-Hijjah. This means there are four days dedicated to sacrifice: the day of 'Eid al-Adha and the three days that follow.

If you still have the means, seize the opportunity today to fulfill this important act of worship, known as Udiyah.

May our sacrifices be accepted by Allah, and may it bring us closer to Him and His blessings

Episode 46


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MGXqpSVKsow

In tonight's episode (episode 46), I continued from frame 49 of Program F12 (page 344), where the authors introduced one of the applications of differentiation in numerical analysis: the Newton-Raphson iterative method. I derived this scheme and explained how to utilize it to approximate solutions. Additionally, I reviewed some useful theorems of calculus, including the intermediate value theorem, the mean value theorem, and Rolle's theorem. This concludes Program F12, and we will be commencing Program F13 (Integration) next week.

IS THE WIFE ENTITLED TO DAILY, WEEKLY AND MONTHLY ALLOWANCE?

Question: After constantly ensuring that our wives are properly fed, can we decide to give them pocket money (a stipend carried on a person for minute daily expenses)?

Dr Sharof: There is no harm about that. Whoever intentionally does a good deed will have a great reward before Allaah. For example, giving your wife monthly allowance, or daily, or weekly; there is no problem about it, but she should be patient whenever you find it difficult to give her. Allaah says, ‘…there is no blame on the good doers’…. You (the wife) should not challenge him if he is unable to make it as at when expected. What work are you doing under him? That is it.

Differentiation 2
Today, I continued my explanation on differentiation. In the first part of the video, my focus was on the chain rule, which allows us to differentiate composite functions. I covered how to differentiate implicit functions. In the last part, we explored practical applications of differentiation, such as finding the gradient of a curve, determining equations of tangents and normals, calculating rates of change, acceleration and velocity, and identifying stationary points.

Differentiation 1

In today's episode (Episode 30), I continued my exploration of the world of calculus with the topic of differentiation. I started by showing how to find derivatives of functions from the first principles. I then moved on to derive some standard derivatives and apply them to different types of functions, including products and quotients. By the end of the episode, you will have gained a better understanding of how to differentiate various functions.

LOCATING POINTS OF LONGITUDE AND LATITUDE


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Gj0jKPQijN8

The hadith mentioned in Lesson 15 teaches us several important lessons:

1. Importance of Good Speech: The hadith emphasizes the significance of speaking good or remaining silent. It reminds us to be mindful of our words and to avoid engaging in harmful or idle speech. By controlling our tongues, we can protect ourselves from negative consequences in this world and in the Hereafter.

2. Consideration for Others: Believers are encouraged to be generous and kind towards their neighbors. This includes being considerate of their needs, offering help and support, and maintaining good relations. The hadith highlights the importance of fostering a sense of community and looking out for one another.

3. Hospitality and Generosity: The hadith also emphasizes the virtue of being generous to guests. Islam promotes the value of hospitality and teaches us to be welcoming and accommodating to those who visit us. By showing kindness and generosity to our guests, we not only fulfill a religious obligation but also foster goodwill and strengthen bonds of friendship.

4. Faith and Good Conduct: The hadith connects true faith in Allah and the Last Day with righteous actions and behavior. It reminds us that faith is not limited to mere beliefs but should be reflected in our conduct towards others. Believers should strive to embody good manners, kindness, and generosity, as these are integral aspects of a sincere and genuine faith.

5. Importance of Perfecting Religion: The hadith is considered "half of Islam" because it highlights the significance of good character and behavior in the practice of religion. It emphasizes that piety is not solely confined to ritual acts of worship but extends to all aspects of life. Upholding good morals and treating others with kindness are essential components of a well-rounded and complete faith.

These lessons remind us of the importance of aligning our actions with our beliefs, treating others with kindness and respect, and striving to embody the principles of Islam in our daily lives. By implementing these teachings, we can strengthen our faith and contribute to building a harmonious and compassionate society.

This week, we will review the 14th hadith of the forty hadith of An-nawawih. For the past review, see here

On the authority of Abu Hurayrah, may Allah be pleased with him, the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) said:
"One who believes in Allah and the Last Day should either speak good or keep silent, and one who believes in Allah and the Last Day should be generous to his neighbor, and one who believes in Allah and the Last Day should be generous to his guest." (Narrated by al-Bukhari and Muslim)

The statement "One who believes in Allah and the Last Day" refers to a sincere servant who possesses true faith. This kind of faith saves him from Allah's punishment and earns His approval. The hadith emphasizes the importance of perfecting one's religion through good manners and behavior, hence it is referred to as "half of Islam."

The first part of the hadith advises believers to be cautious with their speech. It reminds them that their tongues can bring harm in the Hereafter. Apart from refraining from unnecessary speech, as mentioned in Hadith No. 12, believers are also encouraged to carefully consider the consequences of their words. If their speech would be rewarded by Allah, it is better to speak; otherwise, silence is preferred. Allah has informed us in the Quran:
"And not a word is uttered except that with him is an observer prepared [to record]." (Quran 50:18)

Some early scholars commented on the hadith, highlighting the importance of guarding one's tongue and being mindful of the impact of words. This hadith serves as a reminder for believers to use their speech wisely, to be considerate of their neighbors, and to show generosity and hospitality to their guests.

May we all strive to follow the teachings of this hadith and embody its lessons in our lives.

Alhamdulillah, we are just a few days away from Eid-ul-Adha, one of the two major Islamic festivals. Those who are planning to perform Udhiya (Qurbani) this year would have been keeping themselves updated about the prices of these animals in the market. Some of these animals include goats, sheep, cows, bulls, buffaloes, or camels, either male or female, as long as they meet the required conditions (please refer to the other thread for further information on the type of animal and the conditions they should meet).

"There is nothing dearer to Allah during the days of Qurbani than the sacrifice of animals. The sacrificed animal will come on the Day of Qiyamah with its horns, hair, and hooves to be weighed in reward. The sacrifice is accepted by Allah before the blood reaches the ground. Therefore, sacrifice with an open and happy heart." (Hadith-Ibn Majah)

"Whoever has the capacity to sacrifice and does not do so should not come to the place where the Eid prayer is offered." (Hadith-Ibn Majah)

To encourage those who may think that making Udhiya is too expensive, could you please share the prices of these animals and your location in this thread?

May Allah make it easy for all of us.

Today is the 5th day of Dhul Hijjah, according to the counting of NSCIA and Haramain Sharifain. Next week, Wednesday is the day of Eid, and thus Tuesday is the day of Arafah when fasting is recommended.

It was reported from Abu Qutaadah (may Allaah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allaah (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) was asked about fasting on the Day of 'Arafaah. He said, "It expiates for the sins of the previous year and of the coming year." Narrated by Muslim.

Fasting on the Day of 'Arafaah is recommended for those who are not on Hajj. However, for those who are performing Hajj, it is not Sunnah to fast on the Day of 'Arafaah because the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) did not fast on this day in 'Arafaah.

Please don't forget to save it in your calendar.

May Allah accept our good deeds (Ameen).

Introduction


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AoNjNO5PAOk

Tomorrow is likely going to be the first day of Dhul hijjah! Thanks

🌙 The Blessed Month of Dhul Hijjah 🕋

Assalamu Alaykum

As we approach the likely beginning of the sacred month of Dhul Hijjah tomorrow (if the moon is sighted tonight and announced by the Sultan), let us take a moment to reflect on the tremendous blessings and virtues it brings. The first nine days of this glorious month hold great significance, offering us a chance to engage in acts of worship and seek closeness to our Creator.

✨ Fasting: The first nine days are a perfect opportunity to earn immense rewards through voluntary fasting. The Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) said, "There are no days in which righteous deeds are more beloved to Allah than these ten days." Let us fast and reap the blessings of this special time.

📿 Takbeer: Fill your days with the remembrance of Allah by abundantly reciting the takbeer ("Allahu Akbar". Let your voices resonate with the glorification of our Lord, magnifying His greatness and expressing gratitude for His countless blessings.

🙏 Prayer and Remembrance: Engage in additional prayers, such as the Sunnah prayers before and after the obligatory ones, Tahajjud (night prayer), and other recommended prayers. Spend time reflecting upon the Qur'an, seeking guidance and solace in its timeless words.

💝 Charity and Goodness: Extend your kindness and generosity to those in need. The first ten days of Dhul Hijjah present an excellent opportunity to support charitable causes and make a positive difference in the lives of others. Even small acts of goodness hold great value.

🕋 Hajj Reflection: While many of us may not be performing the Hajj pilgrimage, we can still reflect upon its significance. Take time to learn about the rituals, ponder over the lessons they teach, and strive to embody the spirit of sacrifice and submission in our daily lives.

🐑 Sacrifice: On the day of Eid al-Adha, Muslims worldwide follow the example of Prophet Ibrahim (peace be upon him) by offering animal sacrifices as an act of obedience and gratitude. Let us participate in this ritual with a sincere heart, understanding the essence behind this act of devotion.

During this blessed month, let us strive to strengthen our faith, seek forgiveness, and increase in acts of worship. May our hearts be filled with gratitude, our spirits elevated, and our actions reflect the beauty of Islam.

Wishing you all a blessed and spiritually uplifting month of Dhul Hijjah!

Episode 29 - Longitude and latitude

In today's episode (episode 29), I covered the topic of longitude and latitude. I started by describing the Earth as a sphere, showed how to locate points on the Earth, identified the lines of latitude and longitude, and explained how to determine the angles of latitude and longitude. I also discussed how to find distances along small and great circles. Additionally, I provided various examples to illustrate these concepts.
