عن عبدالله بن عباس رضي الله عنهما قال : قال النبي ﷺ :
" نِعْمَتانِ مَغْبُونٌ فِيهِما كَثِيرٌ مِنَ النَّاسِ : الصِّحَّةُ والفَراغُ ".
صحيح البخاري : (6412)

• قال الإمام إبن قدامة رحمه اللہ :
«فلا تضيّع جواهر عمرك النفيسة بغير عمل، ولا تُذهِبها بغير عِوض، واجتهد أن لا يخلوَ نَفَسٌ من أنفاسك إلا في عمل طاعة، أو قربة تتقرَّبُ بها، فإنك لو كانت معكَ جوهرةٌ من جواهر الدنيا فضاعت منك؛ لحزنتَ عليها حزناً شديداً، بل لو ضاعَ منك دينارٌ لساءكَ فكيف تفرّط في ساعاتك وأوقاتك ؟ وكيف لا تحزَن على عمركَ الذاهب بغيرِ عوض»

【 الوصية المباركة صـ١٢】

‎On the authority of Abdullāh ibn Abbās (may Allah be pleased with them both), he said: The Prophet ﷺ said:

‎“There are two blessings in which many people are deceived (or at a loss): health and free time.”

‎[Sahih al-Bukhari]

‎Imam Ibn Qudāmah al Maqdisi rahimahullāh said:

‎“So do not waste the precious jewels of your life without action, and do not let them pass without compensation.

‎Strive that not a single breath of your breaths be empty except (i.e., unless it is filled) with an act of obedience, or with a deed of closeness by which you draw nearer (to Allah).

‎For if you had a jewel from the jewels of this world and it were lost from you, you would grieve over it with intense grief. Rather, if even a single dinar were lost from you, it would distress you.

‎So how can you be negligent with your hours and your times? And how can you not grieve over your life passing away without any return?”

‎[Al-Wasiyyah al-Mubarakah, p. 12]

قال الإمام الشافعي رحمه الله:
“جواهر المرء في ثلاث:

١- كتمان الفقر، حتى يظن الناس من عفتك أنك غني.
٢- كتمان الغضب، حتى يظن الناس أنك راضٍ.
٣- كتمان الشدة، حتى يظن الناس أنك متنعم.”

مناقب الشافعي للبيهقي (٢/١٨٨)


Imam al-Shafi‘i rahimahu’Allah said:

“The jewels (noble qualities) of a person are in three:

1.Concealing poverty, until people think from your self-restraint that you are rich.

2.And concealing anger, until people think that you are pleased.

3.And concealing hardship, until people think that you are living pleasantly.”

[Manāqib al‑Shāfiʿī by al‑Bayhaqī, 2/188.]

Sh. al-Islām Ibn Taymiyyah raḥimahullāh said:

“So it has become clear that the foundation of happiness and the foundation of salvation from punishment is:

• The oneness of Allah

• And belief in His messengers

• And the Last Day

• And righteous deeds.”

[Majmooʿ al-Fataawa 34/9]

قَال شيخُ الإِسلام ابنُ تَيميَّة رَحِمـهُ اللّٰـه :

فقد تبين أن أصل السـعـادة و أصـل النجاة
مـن الـعـذاب هو :

• تــوحيـــدُ اللّٰـه .
• والإيمانُ بِرُسُله .
• واليــومِ الآخـر .
• والعَملِ الصالح .

The Night of Decree May Fall on Even Nights Just as It May Fall on Odd Nights.

Some scholars have pointed out that Laylat al-Qadr (the Night of Decree) may fall on even nights just as it may fall on odd nights within the last ten nights of Ramadan.

Shaykh al-Islam Ibn Taymiyyah (may Allah have mercy on him) said in Majmuʿ al-Fatawa (25/285):

“Laylat al-Qadr is in the last ten nights of Ramadan. This is authentically reported from the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) when he said: ‘It is in the last ten nights of Ramadan.’ It is sought on odd nights. However, the odd nights may be reckoned based on what has passed, in which case they are the 21st, 23rd, 25th, 27th, and 29th nights. But they may also be reckoned based on what remains, as the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: ‘On the ninth night remaining, on the seventh night remaining, on the fifth night remaining, on the third night remaining.’ Thus, if the month completes 30 days, these nights correspond to the even nights. In this case, the 22nd night is the one for which nine nights remain, and the 24th night is the one for which seven nights remain. This is how Abu Saʿid al-Khudri (may Allah be pleased with him) explained it in the authentic hadith. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) also followed this pattern when performing iʿtikaf (seclusion) during Ramadan. If the month has 29 days, the count remains the same as mentioned before. Given this, a believer should seek Laylat al-Qadr throughout all the last ten nights, as the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: ‘Seek it in the last ten nights.’”

Some people may find this explanation complex, so let’s clarify it further:

Firstly: The Last Ten Nights Begin on the 21st Night

It is essential to understand that the last ten nights of Ramadan start on the 21st night, not the 20th. The first ten nights span from the 1st night of Ramadan until the 10th night (with the 10th day included in this period). The middle ten nights begin on the 11th night and extend to the 20th night (with the 20th day included). Therefore, the last ten nights commence from the 21st night and continue until the 30th night if the month is complete. If Ramadan has only 29 days, the last period consists of nine nights. Regardless, the last ten nights always begin on the 21st night, whether the month is complete or not.

Secondly: If Ramadan is 29 Days
When the month ends after 29 days, Laylat al-Qadr falls on odd nights, whether counting based on what has passed or what remains. In this case, it will be on the 21st, 23rd, 25th, 27th, or 29th night—this is straightforward and undisputed.

Thirdly: If Ramadan is 30 Days
If Ramadan completes 30 days, then Laylat al-Qadr may fall on even nights. Since the last ten nights begin on the 21st, the Prophet’s statement “On the ninth night remaining” refers to the 22nd night, not the 21st. This is because the 21st night is the first of the last ten, making it “the tenth remaining” rather than “the ninth remaining.” However, if you count from the 22nd to the 30th, you will find that nine nights remain, which aligns with the Prophet’s statement “On the ninth night remaining.” Following this logic, the Prophet’s statements “On the seventh night remaining,” “On the fifth night remaining,” and “On the third night remaining” correspond to the 24th, 26th, and 28th nights, respectively—meaning these would be the significant nights in a complete 30-day Ramadan.

Given this understanding, a wise and diligent Muslim should strive to worship throughout all the last ten nights to ensure they do not miss Laylat al-Qadr.

Allah, the Most High, knows best.

"¹ In Sahih Muslim (1167), The Taabi'i asked Abu Saʿid al-Khudri., ‘What does the ninth, seventh, and fifth mean?’ He said, ‘When the 21st night has passed, the next is the 22nd, which is the ninth remaining.When the 23rd has passed, the next is the 24th, which is the seventh remaining. When the 25th has passed, the next is the 26th, which is the fifth remaining.’”

‎Imam Mālik رحمه الله said:

‎“Whoever loves that an opening be made for him in his heart, and that he be saved from the overwhelming agonies of death and the terrors (or horrors) of the Day of Resurrection, then let his deeds in secret be more than his deeds in public.”

قال الإمام مالك رحمه الله:

" مَن أحَبّ أنْ تُفَتَحَ لَهُ فُرجَة في قلبِهِ ، وَيَنجُو مِن غَمَراتِ المَوت وَأهوالِ يَومِ القِيامَةِ ، فَلْيَكُن عَملهُ فِي السِرِ أكثَرَ مِنهُ في العَلانِيِةِ " .

قال الإمام ابن القيم رحمه الله:

لو كانت ليلة القدر ليلة واحدة بالسنة
لقمت السنة حتى أدركها. فما بالك بعشر ليال

بدائع الفوائد [1/55

Imam Ibn Al-Qayim rahimahu’Allah said:

“If Laylat al-Qadr were one night in the year, I would stand (in worship) the entire year until I attained it. So what about ten nights?”

[Bada’i al-Fawa’id (1/55]

‎Why is giving Zakat al-Fitr in money not sufficient?

‎Imām Muhammad al-Uthaymeen (rahimahullāh)answered, saying:

‎“It is not sufficient to give Zakat al-Fitr except from food; due to the statement of Abdullah ibn Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both):

‎“That the Messenger of Allah ﷺ obligated Zakat al-Fitr from Ramadan upon the people: one sā‘ of dates, or one sā‘ of barley,”

‎so he specified.

‎And Abu Sa‘id al-Khudri (may Allah be pleased with him) said:

‎“We used to bring it out during the time of the Prophet ﷺ as one sā‘ of food.”

‎And because the Prophet ﷺ obligated it as one sā‘ of food—dates, or barley, or raisins, or aqit (dried curd)—and these four are mostly different in value; meaning, it is very rare that a sā‘ of dates would be equal to a sā‘ of barley, or equal to a sā‘ of raisins, or equal to a sā‘ of aqit.

‎The Prophet ﷺ obligated it as one sā‘ of food, and food differs in value.

‎So this indicates that it is not sufficient if given in monetary value.

‎But if we suppose that we are in a country where they do not accept except dirhams (money), and they say: “Take the food and sell it,” then if they refuse, we would direct it to another country.

Notice

“Many scholars have stated that expressing sadness and harsh withdrawal over the departure of Ramadan in messages, sermons, and lectures is considered among innovated matters.”

What to Do if Eid Coincides with Friday.

Sheikh al-Allāmah Muqbil ibn Hādī al-Wādi‘ī

Sufyān ibn Dīnār said: I said to Abū Bashīr:

“Tell me about the deeds of those who came before us.”

He said: “They used to do little, but they were rewarded greatly.”

I said: “Why was that?”

He said: “Because of the purity of their hearts.”

In shā’ Allāh, we will be resuming our Fiqh of Marriage class today. The notes will be shared shortly before the class begins.

We ask Allah to grant us success and to make our actions sincerely for His sake.

بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم

Our 14th Fiqh of Marriage lesson will begin shortly Insha'Allah. Below are the notes for our lesson.

‎It is reported from Ā’ishah (may Allah be pleased with her) that she said:

‎“The Messenger of Allah ﷺ married me in Shawwal, and he consummated the marriage with me in Shawwal. So which of the wives of the Messenger of Allah was more favored by him than me?” [Narrated by Muslim]

‎Imam al-Nawawī rahimahu’Allah said in his explanation of Ṣaḥīḥ Muslim (9/209)

‎“In this (hadith) is the recommendation (istihbāb) of conducting marriage, getting married, and consummating the marriage in the month of Shawwal. And our companions stated its recommendation and used this hadith as proof.

‎Ā’ishah intended by this statement to refute what the people of the pre-Islamic era (Jāhiliyyah) used to believe, as well as what some common people still imagine today—that it is disliked to marry, arrange marriages, or consummate marriages in Shawwal.

‎And this is false, it has no basis, and it is from the traces of the pre-Islamic period. They used to consider it a bad omen because of that due to what is in the name Shawwal of raising and elevation.”

Al-Rabī ibn Sulaymān said:

“I heard Imām ash-Shāfi’i rahimahu’Allah say:

‘The adornment of the scholars is piety (taqwā), their ornament (hilyah) is good character, and their beauty is the generosity of the soul.’”
