Dislike of Unnecessary Goods
The Prophet did not like, even for a short time, to keep money or provisions in his house in excess of his needs. In the same way, he did not allow the goods of charity which were the property of common people to remain with him for a moment. He would have no peace of mind till they had been given away.
Q. If one joins the congregationnal prayer late (i.e.in 3rd or 4th rakah) what is the proper way to complete the prayer? in Which rakah he has to recite a surah and in which rakah he has to sit after Sajdah?
(Abdul Sattar, Chicago)
A. A person who has not joined a prayer in the first rakah is called a ‘Masbuq’. He has to complete his prayer after the Imam has finished his prayer. A ‘Masbuq’ has to observe the following rules while completing his prayer :-
A:
Allah is kind to His servants. He gives provision to whom He wills, and He is the Strong, the Mighty.
Significance: For progress in sustenance/Rizq, one should recite the above verse excessively after each Salaah.
B:
And whoever places his trust in Allah, He is sufficient for him. Surely Allah is to accomplish His purpose. Allah has set a measure for every thing.
At the time of leaving Madina, offer two Rak’ats of Prayers in Masjid-e-Nabavi and then pay a Salam in front of the sacred Mausoleum and pray to Allah that He may render your return journey easy for you and take you to your family in peace and safety. He may guard you against the evils of both the worlds and make you lucky enough to be present again in Madina. He may not render this presence of yours as your last presence.
“(And Allah’s help is sought and He is trusted in, and the end of our invocation is “All praise to Allah the cherisher and sustainer of the worlds).”
By moving aside at an arm’s length you should thereafter pay Salam to Hazrat Umar Faroque.
“Peace be with you O Commander of the Faithful, Umar Faroque by whom Allah added glory to Islam ! Allah made you the Leader of the Muslims, while He chose you as alive and as dead. May Allah grant you a good reward on behalf of the people of Muhammad.”
Here as well a decrease or an increase in the words depends upon your own choice. However, pay Salam on behalf of the persons who made such a request to you and then move a bit forward and say :
When you enter Masjid-e-Nabavi you should step in with your right footstep forward while reciting Darood Sharif and
“O Allah ! Open for me the gates of Thy mercy.”
Now on the way from Mina to Makkah your staying for a while at the place of Muhassab is Sunnat. Nowadays, the conveyance of Motor Lorries is not usually in one’s own control. It is therefore very difficult to stay anywhere on the way. As such, there is no harm if due to this helplessness one does not stay at Muhassab (Zaubda).
Out of Wajibat of Hajj now there remained only a few practices. You are to stay at Mina for to or three days and to perform Rami on all the three Jamarat. To spend the nights of these days as well in Mina is Sunnat-e-Mu’akkada while according to some others it is Wajib. It is forbidden to spend the nights anywhere out-side Mina whether in Makkah or anywhere else (Irshad-us-Sari).
A short while before the sunrise which may be equivalent to the time sufficing two Rak’ats of prayers, you are to proceed to Mina from Muzdalifa. Delaying your proceeding is contrary to Sunnat (Hayat-ul-Qulob). It is also a Sunnat to collect from Muzdalifa seven pebbles equal to a big gram or a date-stone in size for the purpose of Rami at Jamarat-ul-Aqaba.
Waqof-e-Muzdalifa
Today is the 10th of Zilhijja. Today the Hajj Pilgrims have to perform many Wajibat (plural of Wajib) and Faraidh (plural of Fardh) of Hajj. That is why they have been exempted from saying Id Prayers. The first Wajib is the Waqof in Muzdalifa the duration of which of from the appearance of Fajr (day break) to some time before the rising of the sun. This Wajib however stands discharged if someone goes to Mina a short while after the appearance of Fajr without waiting for the sunrise. though only saying Fajr prayers in Muzdalifa does also suffice the fulfillment of this Wajib yet Sunnat is this that the sunrise should be waited for.
