Sa'id ibn Dawud reported that Makhlad Bin al-Husyan رَحِمَهُ الله said:

"Allah never recommends something to His servants, but that Satan interferes with it in one of two ways. He does not care which of them succeeds. Either he makes them exaggerate in it, or he makes them belittle it."

● {Hilyat al-Awliyã 8/266}

Beware of extremism in religion. Whether it is being too soft or being too hard. Beware of the Murji'a and the Khawarij. And know that Ahlul Sunnah is the Wasitiyyah. And study the Aqeedah of the extremists to stay away from it.

In every series of lectures you have some people who come there for some lectures in the beginning and then they stop coming. The number of people that attend the classes in the beginning of the series is a lot bigger than the ones in the end. Many brothers and sisters leave in the middle because they find it too hard, or they do not understand it, or they see that it takes a lot of time. Allah changes the people for the better people.

The conditions of the correct Salāh according to the Qur'ān, the Sunnah & the Salaf:

1. Islām (The deeds of a Kafir are rejected)

2. Sanity (Not intoxicated or other forms of insanity)

3. Puberty (One mist have reached puberty for Salāh to be Fardh on him)

4. Taharah (Purity of the body, clothes and the place of Salāh)

5. Correct time (The time of the prayer must have entered)

6. Cover 'Awrah (covering the private parts, men: between navel & knee; women: everything except face & hands)

7. Niyyah (Intention to perform the prayer)

8. Facing the Qiblah (One must face the current Qiblah which is Al-Masjid Al-Harām)

Some of these conditions may fall out depending on your condition. For example, someone is extremely sick and can not face the Qiblah, he is excused. If a condition is not met, even though it is possible to be done, the prayer is invalid.

How to perform ghusl according to the Qur'ān, the Sunnah & the Salaf:

There are two types of ghusl from janabah [i.e. being impure due to sexual intercourse or discharge].

Sufficient ghusl:
• You rinse your mouth and nose.
• Then you wash your entire body with water, even if that means plunging yourself into deep water in one go.

Complete ghusl:
• Washing your private parts and anywhere else that is contaminated with traces of impurity [sperm, etc].
• Then you do full wudoo’.
• Then you pour water over your head three times, making sure that it reaches the roots of the hair.
• Then you wash the right side of the body, then the left side.

اَللّٰهُمَّ صَلِّ عَلَىٰ مُحَمَّدٍ وَعَلَىٰ آلِ مُحَمَّدٍ ، كَمَا صَلَّيْتَ عَلَىٰ إِبْرَاهِيْمَ وَعَلَىٰ آلِ إِبْرَاهِيْمَ ، إِنَّكَ حَمِيْدٌ مَّجِيْدٌ ، اَللّٰهُمَّ بَارِكْ عَلَىٰ مُحَمَّدٍ وَعَلَىٰ آلِ مُحَمَّدٍ ، كَمَا بَارَكْتَ عَلَىٰ إِبْرَاهِيْمَ وَعَلَىٰ آلِ إِبْرَاهِيْمَ ، إِنَّكَ حَمِيْدٌ مَّجِيْدٌ

Allāhumma ṣalli ʿalā Muḥammad wa ʿalā āli Muḥammad, kamā ṣallayta ʿalā Ibrāhīma wa ʿalā āli Ibrāhīm, innaka Ḥamīdu-m-Majīd, Allāhumma bārik ʿalā Muḥammad, wa ʿalā āli Muḥammad, kamā bārakta ʿalā Ibrāhīma wa ʿalā āli Ibrāhīm, innaka Ḥamīdu-m-Majīd.

O Allah, honour and have mercy upon Muhammad and the family of Muhammad as You have honoured and had mercy upon Ibrāhīm and the family of Ibrāhīm. Indeed, You are the Most Praiseworthy, the Most Glorious. O Allah, bless Muhammad and the family of Muhammad as You have blessed Ibrāhīm and the family of Ibrāhīm. Indeed, You are the Most Praiseworthy, the Most Glorious.

ʿAbd al-Raḥmān ibn Abī Laylā (raḥimahullāh) said: “Kaʿb ibn ʿUjrah (raḍiy Allāhu ʿanhu) met me and said: ‘Shall I not give you a gift I received from the Messenger of Allah ﷺ?’ I replied: ‘Yes of course, gift it to me.’ So he said: ‘We asked the Messenger of Allah ﷺ: “O Messenger of Allah ﷺ, how should we invoke ṣalāh upon you, the members of the family, for Allah has taught us how to send salām upon you?” He ﷺ replied: “Say: [the above].” (Bukhārī 3370)

The conditions of the correct Wudu according to the Qur'ān, the Sunnah & the Salaf:

1. Stopping what breaks it (ie swallowing the camel meat)

2. Islam (The deeds of a Kafir are rejected)

3. Niyyah (Intention to make Wudu)

4. Puberty (One mist have reached puberty for Salāh to be Fardh on him)

5. Sanity (Not intoxicated or other forms of insanity)

6. Clean, Halal Water (One cannot make Wudu with unclean or haram water)

7. Removal of Barriers (Removing barriers between the skin and the water)

8. Having made Istinja‘ (Cleaning after relieving oneself)

Some of these conditions may fall out depending on your condition. For example, someone does not have water, he can perform Tayammum. If a condition is not met, even though it is possible to be done, the Wudu is invalid.

The obligations of Wudu:

1. Washing the face, including rinsing the mouth, and inhaling water into the nose

2. Washing the hands until the elbows including the elbows

3. Wiping the entire head, including the ears

4. Wasing the feet including the ankles

5. Keeping the order Allah ordered us to keep

6. Continuity by not delaying the washing of a part until the part before it dries

These conditions fall of with the Ghusl to lift the major impurity, whether it is the necessary or the advised Ghusl.

Whenever “the majority of people“ is mentioned in the Qur‘an, it is followed by a negative trait.

حَفِظَكَ الله شيخَنَا

The nullifiers of Wudu:

1. Anything that exits the private parts

2. Urine or Feces coming out of the rest of the body

3. Absence of intellect, except for a light sleep for those who are sitting or standing without support

4. Touching any human‘s private parts with the hand without any barrier

5. Touching the opposite gender with lust without any barrier, and this does not invalidate the Wudu of the one who is touched, even if he experiences desire

6. Washing a dead person

7. Eating Camels meat

8. Apostasy, may Allah protect us from it

Everything that requires Ghusl requires Wudu except death.

Whoever is certain of his purity and doubts breaking it or the opposite builds on his certainty.

‘Abdullah Ibn Ahmed Ibn Hanbal (rahimahullah) said:

My father (Ahmad Ibn Hanbal - rahimahullah) used to pray 300 (three hundred) rakahs every day and night. But when he became ill from those lashes, he became weak, so he used to pray 150 (hundred fifty) rakahs every day and night, and (at that time) he was close to eighty (years in age).

[Madarij as-Salikeen (Ranks of the Seekers), 1/482, Ibn al-Qayyim (rahimahullah)]

Israeli "soldiers" kick dying Palestinians, insult them and their mothers, stab corpses of Palestinians, take out their eyes, and more

Salamun 'Alaykum.

Ramadan is swiftly approaching. Fasting is a mighty act of worship, and Ramadan is a time of self-examination, rectifying ones-self and earning the forgiveness of Allah.

We have put together a bundle of books that will encourage the reader to meet Ramadan with a self-critic attitude, and even more important that he fasts while being upon Tawhid and Sunnah, which is the key to Paradise and the condition for all of his worship being accepted.

Dont miss out on this great offer, for yourself or for someone who might be in need of reading these books. Lasts until the end of Sha'ban, in sha Allah.

‏إذا لم تكن الصلاة من أول اهتماماتك في يومك، فلا تبحث عن الراحة، ولا تنشد عن السعادة، ولا تفكر في الطمأنينة والأنس في حياتك، فالصلاة هي السعادة والأنس والراحة وجلاء الهم وزوال الغم،ومن أعظم أسباب الانشراح النفسي والاستقرار الروحي. قالﷺ "أرحنا بها يا بلال!"
