Bid’ah & Shirk- Avoid them for success,

                          

Bid’ah  &  Shirk- Avoid them for success,

5: 79- Nor did they (usually) forbid one another the iniquities which they committed: evil indeed were the deeds which they did.

Note: -788There are bad men in every community, but if  leaders connive at the misdeeds of the communality; and even worse,
if leaders themselves share in the misdeeds, as happened with the Pharisees and Scribes against whom Jesus spoke out,
then that community is doomed.

 2:251 - And did not Allah check one set of people by means of   another the earth would indeed be full of mischief but
Allah is full of bounty to all the worlds.
87:9فَذَكِّرْ إِن نَّفَعَتِ الذِّكْر َ
               87:9- Therefore give admonition in case the admonition profits (the hearer).
Note:6088 Allah’s Message should be proclaimed to all; but particular and personal admonitions are also due to those who attend and in whose
hearts is the fear of Allah; in the case of those who run away from it and  dishonor it, such particular and personal admonition is useless.
They are the unfortunate ones who prepare their own ruin.

      9:112-they enjoin good and forbid evil; and observe the limits                   set by Allah; (these do rejoice). So proclaim the
glad tidings to the  Believers.
قُلْ إِنِّي لَا أَمْلِكُ لَكُمْ ضَرًّا وَلَا رَشَدًا (72:21)
72:21 -Say: "It is not in my power to cause you harm or to bring you to right conduct.
                            Note:5745" but I cannot force you to right conduct; that must depend upon        the purification of your own faith and will.

                   It is prohibited to perform Salāt in cemeteries at even if they contain
                       one grave only: even towards one grave is forbidden.. In
                        “Iqtidā’ As-Sirātul Mustaqīm”, Shaikhul Islām [IbnTaymiyyah
There should be a barrier between the cemetery and the    neighboring mosque in order that the Salāt in the later be
valid. The wall of the mosque is not enough to be considered as a barrier between it and the cemetery.

 The prohibition of doing Salāt in a mosque that is established over a grave is a general rule - whether the grave(s)
is on its right, left, behind or front. The last one is, however, the worst of all cases for two reasons: the mosque is built on a grave
and the grave is located to the front of praying muslims which is totally prohibited. (3)

Performing Salāt in places or on a carpet full of pictures or decorations: ] distracts  attention during the Salāt’.

(1)   to protect themselves from infection, and (2) to proclaim Allah’s truth, for even in the most unlikely circumstances, it is possible that
it may have some effect.
وَمَا عَلَى الَّذِينَ يَتَّقُونَ مِنْ حِسَابِهِم مِّن شَيْءٍ وَلَـكِن ذِكْرَى لَعَلَّهُمْ يَتَّقُونَ(6:69)

Severe strife and Confusion among Muslims ?  See Hadhis below:-
*         Biographies of Companions
*         Ubayy ibn Kab
One of Ubayy's major fears for the Muslim ummah was that a day would come when there would be severe strife among Muslims.
He often became overwhelmed with emotion when he read or heard the verse of the Quran." "Say:  He (Allah) has power to send
calamities on you, from above and below, or to cover you with confusion in party strife, giving you a taste of mutual vengeance,
each from the other."
(Surah al-An'am, 6: 65) That every individual among the sons of Aadam has a jinn who has been appointed
to be his constant companion (qareen). We know that he is with us so we should beware of him as much as possible.
ُ
قُلْ هُوَ الْقَادِرُ عَلَىٰ أَنْ يَبْعَثَ عَلَيْكُمْ عَذَابًا مِنْ فَوْقِكُمْ أَوْ مِنْ تَحْتِ أَرْجُلِكُمْ أَوْ يَلْبِسَكُمْ شِيَعًا
وَيُذِيقَ بَعْضَكُمْ بَأْسَ بَعْضٍ ۗ انْظُرْ كَيْفَ نُصَرِّفُ الْآيَاتِ لَعَلَّهُمْ يَفْقَهُونَ {6:65)

Those who mislead : 18:104-"Those whose efforts have been wasted in this life, while they thought that they were acquiring
good by their works?"
Note:2449-Many people have such a smug sense or self-righteousness that while they go on doing wrong, they think that they
 are acquiring merit. So, in charity, all the elements that make for outward show or selfishness (as to get some worldly advantage)
 nullify the deed of charity.  In the same way hypocrites sometimes affect to be surprised that their declared effort for somebody’s
 good is not appreciated, when they are really seeking some hidden gain or false glory for themselves. The sincere are only those
 who believe in their spiritual responsibility and act as in Allah’s sight.


وَمِنَ النَّاسِ مَن يَشْتَرِي لَهْوَ الْحَدِيثِ لِيُضِلَّ عَن سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ بِغَيْرِ عِلْمٍ وَيَتَّخِذَهَا هُزُوًا أُولَئِكَ لَهُمْ عَذَابٌ مُّهِينٌ  (31:6)

[31:6] But there are, among men, those who purchase idle tales, without knowledge (or meaning), to mislead (men) from the
Path of Allah and throw ridicule (on the Path): for such there will be a Humiliating Penalty.

       FIQH OF THE FRIDAY  PRAYER (J.ZARABOZO)

 The Friday Prayer is one of the most important acts of worship in Islam. Allah has vouchsafed wonderful blessings and benefits through this magnificent act. Hence Muslims should do their best and strive and sacrifice for the sake of this prayer by performing it in the best way possible.
Prophet (Sal) said: “ There are three types of people who attend the Friday Prayer. One is a man who is present but speaks during the Khutbah and that is his portion of the prayer. Second is a man who is present and makes supplications.  In his case, Allah may give him what he asks, if He wishes, or He may not give him what he asks. Third is a person who is present and observes silence and does not step over the necks of the Muslims nor does he harm anyone.  For him, there is an expiation from that Friday until the previous Friday plus an additional three days.
One should do his best to fulfill a number of acts and then, upon doing so, the Friday Prayer will be an expiation for him for ten days of deeds

.91:9- Truly he succeeds that purifies it           91:10-             And he fails that corrupts it! 6153

62:9 - O ye who believe! when the call is proclaimed to prayer on Friday (the Day of Assembly) hasten earnestly to the Remembrance of Allah and leave off business (and traffic): that is best for you if ye but knew! 5461 
5461  Friday, is primarily the Day of Assembly, the weekly meeting of the Congregation, when we show our unity by sharing in common public worship, preceded by a Khutba, in which the Imam (or Leader) reviews the week's life of the Community and offers advice and exhortation on good living. Notice the gradations of social contact for Muslims if they followed the wise ordinances of their Faith. (1) Each individual remembers Allah for himself or herself five or more times every day in the home or place of business, or local mosque, or open air, as the case may be. (2) On Friday in every week there is a local meeting in the central mosque of each local centre,-it may be a village, or town, or ward of a big city. (3) At the two 'Ids every year, there is a large local area meeting in one centre. (4) Once at least in a lifetime, where possible, a Muslim shares in the vast international assemblage of the world, in the centre of Islam, at the Makkan Pilgrimage. A happy combination of decentralisation and centralisation, of individual liberty and collective meeting, and contact at various stages or grades. The mechanical part of this ordinance is easy to carry out. Are we carrying out the more difficult part?-the spirit of unity, brotherhood, mutual consultation, and collective understanding and action? (62.9)

Salman al-Farisi  narrated that the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) said: “Anyone who takes a bath on Friday, oils his hair or scents himself, does not force his way between two persons sitting together in the mosque..and remains quiet while the Imam delivers the Khutbah, all his sins between the present and the last Friday will be forgiven.” (al-Bukhari)

*Sitting close to the Imam (Ahmad, Abu Dawud, al-Tirmidhi, al-Nasai, ibn majah, ibn Khuzaima, ibn Hibban,al-Hakim) ….It is a dreadful sight when even those who come to the mosque early do not sit in the front rows waiting for the prayer.  Instead, they prefer to sit in the back of the mosque to lean against the wall or talk to their friends. The Prophet (Sal) said : “People will continue to withdraw to rows behind the first one until Allah puts them in a back place in Hell.”(Abu Dawud)

The Messenger of Allah placed the men in front of the young boys and the women behind the young boys. This is related by Ahmad and Abu Dawud.

SUNNAH PRAYERS BEFORE THE FRIDAY PRAYER

Fiqh-us-Sunnah

Figh 2.144a

Nawaf ’I  before al-Jumu’ah
Concerning any sunnah prayer before the Friday salah, Ibn Taimiyyah writes: "The Prophet sallallahu alehi wasallam never offered any salah after the adhan and before the Friday salah, and no one has ever related such an act from him.
A
L-cQuqwdg l,ska iqqkakd m%dra:kdjla  ke;

The majority of the early scholars, including  Imams Malik, al-Shafi’I and Ahmad, never stated that there is any such thing as a specific sunnah prayer before the Friday Prayer.  Instead of a specific sunnah prayer before the  Friday Prayer, the person is free to pray whatever he wishes of a voluntary nature.  But to claim that such prayers are sunnah is incorrect and is tantamount to creating an innovation in the religion

For any prayer  to be considered sunnah, it must  be confirmed  that the Prophet   either did it or approved of it.  No one can establish a sunnah prayer except the ProphetIf anyone claims that a particular prayer is sunnah, the burden of proof is upon him to show that the Prophet (Sal) performed it.
 jra;udk uqia,sus jreka   ,d;iwa K];ypk;fs;
The Muslims of today   have become – save for those whom your Lord has had mercy on – two types:  One type prays all of his prayers, including the voluntary prayers, in the mosque and the other type prays all of his prayers, including the obligatory prayers, in the house. One is extreme and the other is too lax.  The correct guidance is the guidance of Muhammad  He would pray the obligatory prayers in the mosque and his voluntary prayers in his house with the exception of  the tahiyyat al-masjid prayer which can only be prayed in the mosque.(Wanaly,p.184)

However, it is best  or preferred to say the sunnah prayers in one’s own house and not in the mosque, if possible and feasible.  The Prophet (Sal) said: “The best prayer of a person is his prayer in his house, except for the obligatory prayers. (al-Nasai & others) “The similitude of a house wherein Allah’s name is mentioned and that wherein Allah’s name is not mentioned is like the living and the dead.” (al-Bukhari/Muslim). Unfortunetely, this is a sunnah that is forgotten by many today.!

 SUNNAH PRAYERS AFTER THE FRIDAY PRAYER

iqqkakd m%dra:kd aL-cQuqwdg miqj    (Rd;dh-egptop-njhOiff;Fg; gpd;dhy;)

 

IBN Umar said :The Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) never prayed after the Friday prayer until he departed (from the mosque ) and he would then pray two rakats at home)   recorded by al-Bukhari
Ibn al-Qayyim says: "After the Prophet finished the Jumu'ah, he would enter his house and pray two rak'at, and he ordered those who prayed the Jumu'ah to pray four rak'at after it.
Our sheikh Ibn Taimiyyah says: 'When he prayed in the mosque, he would pray four [rak'at], and when he prayed in his house, he would pray two rak'at.' I say: this is what the hadith is pointing to. Abu Dawud records from ibn 'Umar that when he prayed in the mosque, he would pray four rak'at, and when he prayed in his house, he would pray two rak'at. Also, in the two Sahihs it is reported from ibn 'Umar that the Prophet would pray two rak'at in his house after the Friday salah."

Unfortunately, what occurs in many mosques is that they first make an early call to prayer.  Then, the people who were sitting and reading the Quran or making dhikr, will immediately get up and start praying something they call a sunnah prayer.  Again, there is no such sunnah prayer and this act is an innovation. In most cases, this is done out of ignorance and therefore, these people must be told that they are praying “a sunnah prayer” that has no source in the sunnah!

COMMON MISTAKES AND INNOVATIONS RELATED TO THE FRIDAY PRAYER
Mistakes are actions that people do out of ignorance not knowing that what they are doing is wrong. Upon seeing what is correct, they should eagerly and quickly change their habits and follow what is correct.

INNOVATIONS is much more dangerous  for a person’s religion. In following what is wrong, he believes and insists that what he is doing is correct  and is pleasing to Allah!  “Innovations are worse and more harmful than sins  Because the person who performs or follows innovations  believes them to be true and obedience to Allah but this is a lie against Allah and it is a position concerning His religion that is not based on any fact and it is very rare that such an innovator should repent.”  This is why ibn Taimiya has stated that innovations are MORE EVIL THAN ADULTERY, THEFT AND DRINKING ALCOHOL.
As al-Albani once wrote:
: A Muslim  does not complete his getting closer to Allah except by avoiding such innovations. This is not possible unless he knows them individually.  Otherwise he will fall into innovations without realizing it. This can be witnessed from many Muslims who seek to approach Allah by actions which are the greatest types of SHIRK, such as making vows to the pious and righteous people, swearing by them, circumambulating their graves, building mosques upon their graves and other actions which are well-known to be acts of shirk according to the scholars.  Therefore, it is not sufficient to worship by just knowing what is the sunnah.  But one must also know what is its opposite in innovations.
Prophet  has said: “ For whoever says there is no one worthy of worship except Allah and denies whatever is worshipped besides Allah, his wealth and  blood will  be protected and his reckoning will be with Allah. (Muslim)

FEW SUCH MISTAKES AND INNOVATIONS:
jeros udrA.h      jtuhdKiw

1, Beautifying oneself in ways that are not Islamically acceptable, such as shaving one’s beard, men wearing silk or gold, imitating the disbelievers in their best attire.

15.  The congregation wiping their faces with their hands after the Khateeb has finished his supplications.
16.  Performing the sunnah prayer right after finishing the Friday Prayer without speaking or moving to another place in the mosque, thus making a break without connecting one prayer with another.

23.  The newly wed not attending the Friday Prayer etc.
      (See al-Albani,al-Ajuba,pp.65-75, Wanaly,pp312-348 etc)
72:14 - `Amongst us are some that submit their wills (to Allah) and some that swerve from justice.  Now those who submit their wills they have sought out (the path) of right conduct: 5738
15    `But those who swerve they are (but) fuel for Hell Fire ' 5739
5738 - Any one who responds to true Guidance, and submits his will to Allah, finds that he makes rapid progress in the path of right conduct and right life. He gets more and more assurance that his destination is the Garden of Bliss. (72.14)

O Allah, make me grateful to Thee, mindful of Thee, full of fear towards Thee, devoted to Thy obedience, humble before Thee, or penitent. My Lord, accept my repentance, wash away my sin, answer my supplication, clearly establish my evidence, guide my heart, make true my tongue and draw out malice in my breast."

May Allah enable everyone to draw benefit from this and consider this effort as exclusive to Him.

Page1
In H i j a b (Khimar)means
“Women’s - head-covering”

In addition to the whole body except face
and hands (below wrists) to be covered.
A must when ‘abroad’
It is worn in obedience to Allah.
It is haraam to show them.
Dear Sister, Dear Mother, Dear Daughter. Everyone is looking for happiness and
fun, and I am sure you are not excluded. Where is that happiness and fun
though? And where and when do you want that happiness? Do you want
happiness; do you want to have ‘fun’ in this life at the expense of the hereafter?

Page2
Or is it in the hereafter, when you meet Allah that you want to be happy? The
virtues of modesty and chastity are the main reasons for Muslim
women to wear head coverings. Observant faithful Muslim
women wear head coverings, scarves and veils, and of course
why they cover their entire bodies with modest clothes (is the
Command of Almighty Allah) to avoid the lecherous glances of
those that have sickness in their hearts, and need a cure.
From the Quran
Al-Ahzaab (The Clan) :
33:33 - And stay quietly in your houses and make not a dazzling display like
that of the former Times of ignorance; and establish regular Prayer and
give regular Charity; and obey Allah and His Apostle. And Allah only
wishes to remove all abomination from you ye Members of the Family
and to make you pure and spotless.
Al-Ahzaab (The Clan)
33:59 - O prophet! Tell thy wives and daughters and the believing women
that they should cast their outer garments over their persons (when
abroad): that is most convenient that they should be known (as such) and
not molested: and Allah is Oft-Forgiving Most Merciful. 3764 3765 .
3764 This is for all Muslim women, those of the Prophet’s household, as well as
the others. They were asked to cover themselves with outer garments
when walking out of doors. (33.59)
3765 Jilbab, plural Jalabib: an outer garment; and long gown covering the whole
body, or a cloak covering the neck and bosom. (33.59)
an-Noor (The Light)
24:31- And say to the believing women that they should lower their gaze
and guard their modesty; that they should not display their beauty and
ornaments except what (must ordinarily) appear thereof; that they

Page3
should draw their veils over their bosoms and not display their beauty
except to their husbands their fathers their husbands’ fathers their sons
their husbands’ sons their brother or their brothers’ sons or their sisters’
sons or their women or the slaves whom their right hands posses or male
servants free of physical needs or small children who have no sense of the
shame of sex; and that they should not strike their feet in order to draw
attention to their hidden ornaments. And O ye Believers! turn ye all
together towards Allah that ye may attain Bliss. 2985 2987.
2985 Zinat means both natural beauty and artificial ornaments. I think both are
implied here, but chiefly the former. The woman is asked not to make a
display of her figure except to the following classes of people: (1) her
husband, (2) her near relatives whom a certain amount of neglige is
permissible; (3) her women, 4) slaves, male and female, as they would be
in constant attendance; but this item would now be blank, with the
abolition of slavery; (5) men who are free from sexual desire and who
usually frequent the houses; and (6) infants or small children before they
get a sense of sex. Cf.also xxxviii.59 (24.31)
2987 While all these details of the purity and good form of domestic life are
being brought to our attention, we are clearly reminded that the chief
object we should hold in view is our spiritual welfare. All our brief life on
this earth is a probation, and we must make our individual, domestic, and
social life all contribute to our holiness, so that we can get the real success
and bliss which is the aim of our spiritual endeavour. (24.31)
The Prophet’s standard was black and his banner white.

Page4
The clothing must hang loose so that the shape / form of the body is
not apparent.
3765 Jilbab, plural Jalabib: an outer garment; and long gown covering the whole
body, or a cloak covering the neck and bosom.
(33.59) It is permissible for a woman to let her garment down below the
ankles, or by wearing socks
FOR HIJAB:
1. Avoid thin clothing which exposes the body and reveal its shape,
2. This should be loose enough so as not to reveal the shape of the woman’s
body – preferably a cloak over other clothes. If the clothing is loose enough, an
outer garment will not be necessary.
3 Wear thick clothes so as not to show the colour of the skin or the shape of
the body.
4. The hijab should give an over - all dignified appearance – not attracting
men’s attention, not shiny and flashy. (preferably black).
5. Avoid dressing like men and avoid dressing like the unbelievers.
6. Be modest, not excessively fancy and also not excessively ragged to gain
admiration or sympathy.
7. One’s behaviour, manners, speech and appearance in public goes hand in
hand with hijab.
Yes- YES NO- NO(hands & Neck open!)

SURAH YASEEN



All the virtues of Soorah Yaa – Seen are either based on Weak or Fabricated Ahadeeth. The following are few of the (many) commonly quoted ‘Virtues’ and their authentication done by Scholars of Ahadeeth.
Hadeeth One:
 Narrator-    Anas  (r)   that the Messenger of Allaah (sal) said,
 “Indeed for everything there is a heart, and the Qur’aan’s hearet is Yaa – Seen.
 Whoever recites Yaa – Seen, then for its recitation, Allaah writes for him that he recited the Qur’aan ten times.”
 Refutation by: (1)  Imaam Tirmithee : “Haaroon Aboo Muhammad (one of the narrators) is a sheikh who is Majhool (unknown).”(Ref. Jaami’ at – Tirmithee, Volume 5, Book 42, Hadeeth Number 2,887, p. 225)
(2) Haafiz Aboo Taahir Zubayr ‘Alee Za’i classed its Isnaad (chain) as Da’eef (weak).
(3) Sheikh al – Albaanee in( As - Silsilah al – Ahaadeeth ad-Da’eefah, Number 169 and Da’eef Taghreeb was Tarheeb, Number 885)  Classed as Mawdoo’ (fabricated)
Hadeeth Two:
Narrator: Aboo Hurayrah(r) :Messenger of Allaah (sal) said: 
Allaah recited Ta-Ha and Ya-Seen one thousand years before He created the heavens and the earth
Refutation: . Sheikh al – Albaanee said, in( As - Silsilah al – Ahaadeeth ad-Da’eefah, Number 1,248,)  “[it is] Munkar (Denounced) [a form of Da’eef or weak Hadeeth].”

Hadeeth Three
 Narrated:  Anas ibn Maalik (r): the Messenger of Allaah (sal) said:
“Whoever enters the graveyard and recites Soorat Yaa – Seen, (the torment) will be reduced for them that day, and he will have hasanaat equivalent to the number of people in the graveyard.” 
 Refutation:  Narrated by al – Tha’labi in his Tafseer (3/161/2). Sheikh al – Albaanee said, in Silsilah Ahadeeth Ad-Da’eefah, Number 1,246, “It is Mawdoo’ (fabricated).”
Hadeeth Four
 Narrated:  Ma’qil bin Yasaar (r): that the Messenger of Allaah (sal) said: “Recite Qur’aan near your dying ones,” meaning Yaa – Seen.
  Refutation: ( Sunan Ibn Maajah, Volume 2, Book 6, Hadeeth Number 1,448, p. 369. Haafiz Aboo Taahir Zubayr ‘Alee Za’i ) states: that Aboo ‘Uthmaan (one of the narrators) is Majhool (unknown) and classed the Hadeeth as Da’eef (weak).

In a slightly different wording: It was narrated from Ma’qil bin Yasaar (r) that the Messenger of Allaah (sal) said, Recite Yaa – Seen for your dying ones.
 Sunan Aboo Daawood, Volume 3, Book 20, Hadeeth Number 3,121, p. 568. Haafiz Aboo Taahir Zubayr ‘Alee Za’i states that Aboo ‘Uthmaan (one of the narrators) is Majhool (unknown) and classed the Hadeeth as Da’eef (weak). He comments, “…The narrations concerning the recitation of Soorah Yaa – Seen are not authentic. We should instead supplicate to Allaah to grant the deceased ease.
Hadeeth Five
  Refutation: Narrated: ‘Ataa ibn Abee Rabah (r) that Allaah’s Messenger (sal) said, If anyone recites Yaa – Seen at the beginning of the day, his needs will be fulfilled.”
 Narrated: al – Daarimee, Number 3,281. Classed as Da’eef (weak), by Sheikh al – Albaanee, in Mishkaat al – Masaabih, Number 2,118.
Hadeeth Six
 [It is claimed] the Prophet (peace be upon him) said, “Yaa – Seen is for that for which it is read.” meaning that reading Soorat Ya – Seen may cause needs to be met and may make things easier, according to the intention of the reader when he reads it. 
Refutation: Al – Sakhaawi (may Allaah have mercy on him) said of this hadeeth: “There is no basis for this version.” Al-Maqaasid al-Hasanah, Number 741. Al-Qadi Zakariya said in Haashiyat al-Baydaawi: “It is Mawdoo’ (fabricated),” as it says in Kashf al-Khafa’ (2/2215).
 Whoever reads Soorat Ya-Seen (36) in one night will be forgiven in the morning. (weak)
  Whoever continues to read it every night then dies, will die as a martyr. (weak)  
In conclusion: there is no doubt that Soorah Yaa – Seen is a beautiful Soorah. However, to attribute such erroneous claims to it is wrong and dangerous.  And Allaah knows best.
