🔷Ahdān in the city of Granada, Spain.

Following the sunnah, in the Great Mosque of Granada the call to prayer, adhan, is done, but instead of calling people to pray in the mosque, that is closed, it calls for people to pray in the houses. To prevent the spread of the coronavirus.

According to Sahih Al Bukhari’s Book on “Call to Prayer”, as narrated by Abdullah bin Al Harith: “Once on a rainy muddy day, Ibn Abbas delivered a sermon in our presence and when the muezzin pronounced the adhan and said, 'Haiya ala salat (come to the prayer)' Ibn Abbas ordered him to say 'Pray at your homes.' The people began to look at each other (surprisingly). Ibn Abbas said. "It was done by one who was much better than I (i.e. the Prophet or his muezzin), and it is a licence.'

In another Hadith in Sahih Al Bukrahi’s book, narrated Nafi: "Once on a cold night, Ibn Umar pronounced the adhan for the prayer at Dajnan (the name of a mountain) and then said: "Pray at your homes", and informed us that Allah's Messenger used to tell the muezzin to pronounce adhan and say: "Pray at your homes" at the end of the adhan on a rainy or a very cold night during the journey."

“Those affected by an epidemic should not be left vulnerable to death.”

◾️A question was asked on a epidemic that occurred and people fled on what was obligatory (on establishing) their brother’s rights. Due to the fact of what they saw had happened on the people from the spreading of the epidemic and they were on the brink of death.

Is it allowed to flee (from the place of the epidemic)?

➡️Answer:

Fulfillment of the rights of the Muslims from nursing, washing and burying them is a must/duty and not to permissible to its abandonment.

And likewise like from visiting the sick and from what the Religion of Islam calls to of good, is not proper to leave.

What was narrated related to the prohibition of coming to the place where the epidemic occurred, what is meant is the prohibition of a person who was not in the place of the epidemic and then is coming to it.

How is it that an obligation is left that is mandated by the religion? or how to leave something that is loved and instigated by the religion? All because of the reported infection, which is a delusional matter of the unseen which Allah has all knowledge.

The Prophet (ﷺ) called it (a plague) a Mercy and what is meant is that a person would desire the rewards from it in the afterlife.

And no doubt that the rewards for patience during it and establishing the wajib acts can not be counted (it will be a lot of rewards).

Imām ibn Hazm al-Andalusī:

If you find that you have a natural inclination towards a particular science - even if that science is inferior to others - don’t preoccupy yourself with other than it, lest you become like the one who tries to grow coconut trees in Andalus or olive trees in India; they don’t bear anything.

Ramadan Mubarak!

🔷It is the month of Ramadan. The month of learning and reciting the Qur’ān. The Qur’ān is in the Arabic language. How can we understand the book of Allah if we do not understand Arabic? When learning Arabic you open up the doors of knowledge of the Religion.
.
🔷Imām Abu Ishāq ash-Shātibī al-Ghurnātī al-Andalusī said:

Verily this Blessed Shariah is [in] Arabic.

And this is made clear in Usūl al-Fiqh. The Qur’ān is not in the words of the non-Arab or non-Arabic terms spoken by the Arabs. [it is agreed upon] with the majority from the Usūlīn. The Qur’ān came on accordance with that.

The seeking of the understanding of the Qur’ān it truly comes from this special path (Arabic) because Allah, the most High says:

إِنَّا أَنزَلْنَاهُ قُرْآنًا عَرَبِيًّا لَّعَلَّكُمْ تَعْقِلُونَ

Verily, We have sent it down as an Arabic Quran in order that you may understand. [Surah Yusuf: 2]

بِلِسَانٍ عَرَبِيٍّ مُّبِينٍ

In the plain Arabic language. [al-Shuara: 195]

وَلَقَدْ نَعْلَمُ أَنَّهُمْ يَقُولُونَ إِنَّمَا يُعَلِّمُهُ بَشَرٌ لِّسَانُ الَّذِي يُلْحِدُونَ إِلَيْهِ أَعْجَمِيٌّ وَهَٰذَا لِسَانٌ عَرَبِيٌّ مُّبِينٌ

And indeed We know that they (polytheists and pagans) say: "It is only a human being who teaches him (Muhammad (ﷺ). The tongue of the man they refer to is foreign, while this (the Quran) is a clear Arabic tongue. [an-Nahl: 103]

وَلَوْ جَعَلْنَاهُ قُرْآنًا أَعْجَمِيًّا لَّقَالُوا لَوْلَا فُصِّلَتْ آيَاتُهُ أَأَعْجَمِيٌّ وَعَرَبِيٌّ قُلْ هُوَ لِلَّذِينَ آمَنُوا هُدًى وَشِفَاءٌ وَالَّذِينَ لَا يُؤْمِنُونَ فِي آذَانِهِمْ وَقْرٌ وَهُوَ عَلَيْهِمْ عَمًى أُولَٰئِكَ يُنَادَوْنَ مِن مَّكَانٍ بَعِيدٍ

And if We had sent this as a Quran in a foreign language other than Arabic, they would have said: "Why are not its Verses explained in detail (in our language)? What! (A Book) not in Arabic and (the Messenger) an Arab?" [Fussilat: 44]

It is established that it is Arabic, with the language of the Arabs and it is not non-Arabic. So, it is intended of its comprehension. And from the the way of the language of the Arabs, it was understood. And there is no path to seek its understanding, other than this path (Arabic)

🔷Young children in the land of Africa memorizing the famous, Matan as-Shatibiyyah.

The Matan is a poem that covers knowledge of the Qirāt of the Qur’ān and is well known and memorized in almost all of the lands of the Muslims from east to west, Spain to Indonesia. Many schools and institutes untill this very day are named after the author of this poem.

◾️The author of the poem was al-Qāsim Abu Muhammad ash-Shātibī. A famous scholar who dedicated his entire life to spread the religion of Islam and the Qur’ān.

He was from a city called Xàtiva/Shātaba, eastern Spain.

The was well known in al-Andalus and in other lands for his piety, sincerity in teaching and also his extremely strong trait of memorization.

Although, he was blind he was still able to teach to have many students who will revise with him and to benefit from him.

Ad-Dhahabī said about him:

“He was sparked with intelligence and very experienced in Qirā’āt, Arabic Grammar, Fiqh and Hadith. He has a clear poem with faith, piety, devotion of worship (of Allah), and reverence.” (Siyār Alām an-Nubalā)

May Allah have mercy on him and all the Muslims. Amīn.

◾️Lines from the poem:

46 - وَمِنْ بَعْدِ ذِكْرِى الْحَرْفَ أُسْمِى رِجَالَهُ مَتَى تَنْقَضِي آتِيكَ بِالْوَاوِ فَيْصَلاَ

‏47 - سِوَى أَحْرُفٍ لاَ رِيبَةٌ فِي اتِّصَالِهَا وَبالَّلفْظِ أَسْتَغْنِي عَنِ الْقَيْدِ إِنْ جَلاَ

48 - وَرُبَّ مَكاَنٍ كَرَّرَ الْحَرْفَ قَبْلَهَا لِمَا عَارِضٍ وَالْأَمْرُ لَيْسَ مُهَوِّلاَ

‏49 - وَمِنْهُنَّ لِلْكُوفِيِّ ثَاءٌ مُثَلَّتٌ وَسِتَّتُهُمْ بِالْخَاءِ لَيْسَ بِأَغْفَلاَ
