Hadith Number Two

Hazrat Ibn Abbas R.A. reports: ‘On the day of Arafaat a young man; Fadhl; was Rasulullah’s sal’am companion, sharing his camel; when the young man cast his eyes, staring at the women. Whereupon Rasulullah sal’am said: ‘O so of my brother, this is such a day when whoever controls his hearing, his sight and the tongue; he shall certainly be forgiven by Allah’. The young man here referred to was Fadl Ibn Abbaas.

RASULULLAH (SALLALLAHU ALAIHI WA SALLAM)’S PRAISE FOR THE PIOUS WOMAN

Rasulullah (sallallahu alaihi wa sallam) spoke highly of women with the following two qualities:

1)   Loving and intelligent care for her children.

2)   Protecting her husband’s wealth.

It is a great pity that most women today, reeling under the impact of the liberal and kufr cult of the west, are sorely deficient in these two qualities so necessary for the Pious Muslim Woman. Babies are assigned to the care of non-Muslim maids who utterly lack any akhlaaq and honor. Muslim children must necessarily suffer great moral harm in the care of non-Muslim maids.

Ayah Number Three

“This day have I perfected your religion for you; completed my favor upon you; and have chosen for you Islam as your religion.”
(Surah 5-4)

One of the great virtues of Hajj is that the verse announcing the completion of the Deen was revealed at the time of Hajj. Hazrat Imaam Ghazali R.A. writes in his ‘Ilyas’: Hajj is one of the fundamental principles of Islam. Upon it the foundation of Islam became completed and upon it the Deen was completed. It was at the time of Hajj that this Ayah was revealed.

IZAR BELOW THE ANKLES

Izar is defined in Arabic to be any lower garment tied to the waist covering the lower half of the body. It includes shalwar, pants, dhooti, pajamas, thawb, etc. In hadith the Prophet divided the length of the izar into four categories:

(1) The Sunna is upto half of the shins.

(2) The rukhsa (concession) is below half the shins till the ankles.

(3) The haraam and a kabira sin are letting it go below the ankles without pride.

(4) Even stronger in prohibition and punishment is dragging or trailing below the ankles out of pride

MASAIL PERTAINING TO SAUM

(1) The thawab and spiritual benefits of saum are eliminated by commission of sin during the state of fasting.

(2) Fasting acts as a protecting shield for the Sa-im (fasting person) as long as he does not destroy his Saum with sin.

(3) Among the sins which destroy the benefits of Saum, the worst is Gheebat (to speak ill of others in their absence), Gheebat also produces physical weakness during Saum. The fast thus becomes very difficult to observe.

(4) Indulgence in futile acts, nonsensical and idle conversation are also negatory of the benefits of Saum.

THE VIRTUES, SIGNIFICANCE AND REWARDS OF SAUM

(1) Rasulullah (Sallallahu Alayhi Wasallam) said:

“He who fasts solely for the sake of Allah Ta’ala, his previous sins are all forgiven”.

(2) “The odour of the mouth of a Sa-im (fasting person) is sweeter to Allah than the fragrance of musk”.

(3) It is narrated in the Hadith that on the Day of Qiyamah, even before Reckoning has taken place, the fasting people will be sumptuously fed under the shade of Allah’s Arsh (Throne) while others will be still embroiled in the hardships of Reckoning.

(4) Rasulullah (Sallallahu Alayhi Wasallam) said:

NAFIL SALAT

TAHAJJUD

Of all the Nafl Salat, the greatest in rank is the “Tahajjud Salat”. The Ahaadeeth speak much about the great significance of this Salat. The time of Tahajjud is greatly efficacious for the acceptance of dua.

Tahajjud Salat is performed in the latter part of the night. After having gone to bed one should rise late in the night and engage in this wonderful lbaadat which has always been the practice of the great and pious people. The minimum number of rakats in Tahajjud is four and the maximum is twelve rakats. This Salat can also be performed in two rakat or four raka’t units. The niyyat for this Salat is simply to intend that one is performing Tahajjud

MISWAAK

HISTORY OF THE MISWAAK

The Miswaak, a tree-twig, was in use for brushing and cleansing the teeth long before the advent of our Holy Nabi (Sallallahu Alayhi Wasallam). In fact the records of our Nabi Muhummad’s (Sallallahu Alayhi Wasallam) Ahadith indicate that the Miswaak was the “Sunnah” or practice of all the Ambiyaa (Prophets of Allah)—Peace be upon them.

“Abu Ayyub (R) narrates that Rasulullah (Sallallahu Alayhi Wasallam) said: ‘Four things are amongst the practices of the Ambiyaa —circumcision, application of perfume, Miswaak and marriage’.” (AHMAD AND TIRMIZI)

The Olympic Games

Every person who is a Mu’min at heart accepts that Rasulullah (sallallahu alayhi wasallam said:

‘EVERY SPORT OF THE MU’MIN IS BAATIL…”

And, every Mu’min understands the meaning of the Qur’aanic aayat:

“Verily, the life of this world is only play and amusement, while the abode of the Aakhirah is best for those who have intelligence. What, do you not understand?”

HAJJ

If a person has wealth which is over and above his
basic necessities and which will be sufficient for him to make the onward and
return journey for hajj, then hajj becomes fard upon him. There are great
virtues in performing hajj. Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam said: “There
is nothing in return for a hajj that is free of sins and evils except paradise.”
Similarly, great rewards have been mentioned for performing umrah.
Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam said: “Hajj and umrah wipe out
sins just as a furnace removes the rust that has settled on
steel.”
