in Damascus, he saw Sheikhul Islām on the pulpit delivering a sermon, and during that sermon he heard Sheikhul Islām say: "Allāh descends from His throne in the same manner I am descending from this pulpit."

However, this is a vicious slander; because this man entered Damascus while Sheikhul Islām was still in prison. What's more, look at what Sheikhul Islām says in this line; he clearly states that he affirms Allāh's descension without designating a how.

6. There are some side issues which the scholars in the past spoke about, however, it is more befitting that we avoid indulging in these issues; for example, does Allāh vacate His Throne when He descends? How does Allāh descend when the timing of the nights differ?

We simply say, Allāh is able to do all things.

{لَا يُسْأَلُ عَمَّا يَفْعَلُ وَهُمْ يُسْأَلُونَ}

"He is not questioned as to what He does, while they will be questioned."
[Sūrat Al-Anbiyā 23]

And this is the case with all affairs related to the unseen which we have not been informed of; we do not indulge in them. As long as we have not been informed of them, we must remain silent and not concern ourselves with them. Therefore, although Shaykhul Islām mentions that most of the Salaf believed that Allāh does not vacate His Throne when He descends to the lowest heaven, we say that sticking to the texts and refraining from speaking about these affairs is the safest option.

We are not in need of knowing these affairs, and if we were, our prophet (ﷺ) would have surely clarified them to us.

The Best Of You Is The Best To His Family

"...And they (women) have rights (over their husbands as regards living expenses) similar (to those of their husbands) over them (as regards obedience and respect) to what is reasonable, but men have a degree (of responsibility) over them. And Allaah is All-Mighty, All-Wise."

[Al-Quraan 2:228]

"...And live with them honourably. If you dislike them, it may be that you dislike a thing and Allah brings through it a great deal of good."

[Al-Quraan 4:19]

Prophet Muhammad (sallallaahu 'alayhi wa sallam) said:

خَيْرُكُمْ خَيْرُكُمْ لِأَهْلِهِ ، وَأَنَا خَيْرُكُمْ لِأَهْلِي

"The best of you is the best to his family, and I am the best to my family.” 

[Jaami' At-Tirmithee]

Shaykh Muhammad ibn Saalih al-'Uthaymeen, may Allaah have mercy upon:

"Regarding the saying of the Prophet - sallallaahu 'alayhi wa sallam: ‘The best of you . . .’ This person is the best of the people, he is the best of them to his wife. So if you have any goodness, then make that goodness for the closest of the people to you, and make it so that your wife is the first to benefit from this good.

And this is the opposite of what some people do today. You find that he has bad manners with his wife, and has good behaviour with other people, and this is a great mistake.
Your wife has the most right to good behaviour, and having the best manners to them, because she is the one who is with you day and night, openly and secretly. 

If you are afflicted with something she is afflicted along with you, and if you're happy, she is happy along with you. If you're sad, she is sad along with you, therefore you should make your dealings with her better than your dealings with strangers, so the best of the people are those who are best of them to their wives.

I ask Allaah to complete my eemaan and that of the Muslims, and that he makes us the best of the slaves of Allaah to our wives and upon those who have a right upon us."

[Taken from: ‘Explanation of Riyadh as-Saliheen’ 3/134]

Imaam ash-Shawkaanee, may Allaah have mercy upon him, mentioned:

فترى الرجل إذا لقي أهله كان أسوأ الناس أخلاقاً وأشجعهم نفساً وأقلهم خيراً، وإذا لقي غير الأهل من الأجانب لانت عريكته وانبسطت أخلاقه وجادت نفسه، وكثر خيره، ولا شك أن من كان كذلك فهو محروم التوفيق، زائغ عن سواء الطريق، نسأل الله السلامة!

“You find a man, if he comes into contact with his family, he displays the worst of character, he is prideful, and very little good is seen from him. But if he meets with other people, his disposition is very gentle, his character is very soft, he is very giving, and he displays much good. There is no doubt, this type of individual is from those who have been prevented from good and success, and he is one who has deviated from the correct path. We ask Allaah for protection!"

(Interpretation of the meaning)

"...that you may become Al-Muttaquun (the pious)."

[Al-Quraan 2:183]

Explained by Shaykh Al-Albaanee

Shaykh Al-Albaanee, may Allaah have mercy upon him:

“Allaah, the Exalted and Most High, says in the Noble Quraan:

يَٰٓأَيُّهَا ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُوا۟ كُتِبَ عَلَيْكُمُ ٱلصِّيَامُ كَمَا كُتِبَ عَلَى ٱلَّذِينَ مِن قَبْلِكُمْ لَعَلَّكُمْ تَتَّقُونَ

(Interpretation of the meaning)

'O you who believe! Observing As-Sawm (the fasting) is prescribed for you as it was prescribed for those before you, that you may become Al-Muttaquun (the pious).'

[Al-Quraan 2:183]

So in this Verse, as will not be hidden to all those who are present, Allaah, the Mighty and Majestic, informs the nation of Muhammad (صلى الله عليه و سلم), through this Verse, that He has made fasting obligatory upon them just as He had made its like obligatory upon the nations before us. This is a matter that is well-known to all of the Muslims who read this Verse, and clearly understand its meaning.

But what I wish to speak about is something else, a matter which very few of the general people notice – and this is the saying of Allaah, the Exalted and Most High, at the end of this Verse:

'...that you may become Al-Muttaquun (the pious).'

So Allaah, the Mighty and Majestic, when He commands His believing servants, or obligates them with some Legislation, (then He) usually just mentions the command, without explaining the wisdom behind it. This is because the general wisdom behind Allaah, the Mighty and Majestic, placing duties upon His servants is that He should test them by it, so that it should become apparent (as to) those who will obey Him and those who will disobey Him, the Exalted and Most High.

However in this Verse, He mentioned something that is not found frequently in the Noble Quraan, which is that He mentioned the reason for the order to fast, by His Saying:

‘...that you may become Al-Muttaquun (the pious).'

So the wisdom behind the believers’ fasting is not just that they should prevent themselves from enjoyable and permissible good things, even though this is an obligation upon the fasting person – but this is not the only thing that is required and intended by this fasting. Allaah, the Mighty and Majestic, concluded His command to fast by saying:

‘…that you may become Al-Muttaquun (the pious).'

Meaning: that the wisdom behind the prescription of fasting is that the Muslim should increase in obedience to Allaah, the Exalted and Most High, in the month of fasting, and become more obedient than he was before it.

Also the Prophet (صلى الله عليه و سلم) clearly stated and completely clarified this point of divine wisdom, by his (صلى الله عليه و سلم) saying, as is reported in the Saheeh of Al-Bukhaaree (No. 1903), that he (صلى الله عليه و سلم) said,

مَنْ لَمْ يَدَعْ قَوْلَ الزُّورِ وَالْعَمَلَ بِهِ فَلَيْسَ لِلَّهِ حَاجَةٌ فِي أَنْ يَدَعَ طَعَامَهُ وَشَرَابَهُ

(translated meaning)

'Whoever does not abandon falsehood in speech and action, then Allaah has no need that he should leave his food and drink.'

Meaning: that Allaah, the Mighty and Majestic, did not intend and desire, by the obligation of fasting – which is to withhold for a stated time, well known to you all – that they should only withhold from eating and drinking. Rather they should also withhold from that which Allaah, the Mighty and Majestic, has forbidden with regard to sins and acts of disobedience to Him; and from that is falsehood in speech and action.

So the Messenger (صلى الله عليه و سلم) is emphasizing the Verse:

‘…that you may become Al-Muttaquun (the pious).'

i.e. that you should, as an act of worship to draw you closer to Allaah, the Mighty and Majestic, in addition to withholding from food and drink, also withhold from forbidden actions such as backbiting, carrying tales to cause harm to people, false witness, lying and so on, with regard to those forbidden manners that we are all aware of.

Therefore it is obligatory that all the Muslims should be aware that actions, which disrupt the fast, are n

ot just the physical acts, which are generally known, which are eating, drinking and sexual intercourse. The fast is not just that you withhold from this. Therefore some of the scholars differentiate, and divide those things which disrupt the fast into two categories, and this is what I intend by this talk of mine at this time that is blessed, if Allaah wills.

This is especially important since those who deliver sermons and admonish the people during Ramadhaan, when they speak about those things which disrupt the fast, then they only speak about the material things, those things that we have just mentioned – eating, drinking and sexual intercourse. But what they should do, as sincere advisers and people who give reminder to the Muslims in general, is to concentrate a great deal upon the second category of things which disrupt the fast.

This is because the people have become used to thinking that fasting is just to refrain from the first category, to withhold from the material things. But there is another category of things, which disrupt the fast, which we are able to call the non-material things that disrupt the fast. So you have just heard his (صلى الله عليه و سلم) saying, 'Whoever does not abandon falsehood in speech and action, then Allaah has no need that he should leave his food and drink.'

Therefore every fasting person should examine himself and see: is he just withholding from the material things, or is he also withholding from those non-material things? Meaning: has he made his manners and behaviour good when the blessed month of Ramadhaan comes? If that is the case, then he has fulfilled the Saying of Allaah, the Exalted and Most High, at the end of the Verse: ‘…that you may become Al-Muttaquun (the pious).'

But as for the one who restricts himself in his fasting to just withholding from food and drink, but who continues and persists upon the evil manners which he was upon previously, before Ramadhaan, then this is not the fasting that is desired and required from the wisdom behind the legislation of this noble month, which our Lord, the Mighty and Majestic indicates in His Saying:

‘…that you may become Al-Muttaquun (the pious).'

So therefore we advise and remind our brother Muslims that they should remember this other category of things, those that are non-material, which disrupt the fast, and it is something which the admonishers and those who seek to direct the people to the correct way rarely speak about, not to mention the general people, who are not aware of this category of things which disrupt the fast, i.e., the non-material things.

This is what I wanted to remind our brothers who are present in this fine gathering about, if Allaah wills, so that it may be a cause for their increasing in acts of worship, seeking to draw closer to Allaah, the Exalted and Most High, in this blessed month, the month of fasting, which is such that we hope that Allaah, the Exalted and Most High, will guide and grant us all the success of fulfilling the due right of this blessed month, which is that we withhold from both the material and the non-material things that disrupt the fast."

The Ruling on Video Calling

Shaikh Yahya bin Ali al-Hajuri

Darussaafi / Sat 15 Ramadan 1438AH

Question: What is the ruling on speaking on the internet through video where each person sees the picture of the other? Does this fall into picture making?

Answer: “If the picture appears inside the device and produces a result similar to a picture, then yes. In most cases it is. Otherwise, what is it that transmits your picture to him and his picture to you? You rely on a camera which takes your picture to him and his picture to you. And this is not a type of mirror, for example, from here to a country 1000 kilometers away. It is not a mirror. It is relying on a camera taking a picture. Therefore it is picture-making if it uses a camera”

[https://www.sh-yahia.net/nwe_sounds/asila/1434-020-001.mp3]

Translator’s Note:

Shaikh Muqbil bin Haadi al-Wadi’ee (may Allah have mercy upon him) wrote: “So like this, know that pictures which spread in the newspapers, magazines, telephones, videos, and other than that from the modern devices (1) are prohibited…

(1): Whether it is a telephone or video or cinema or video phone or devices which provide live feed in arenas or university lecture halls or video surveillance devices” [Hukum Tasweer Dhawaat ul-Arwaah (pg. 26)]

الحمد لله رب العالمين والصلاة والسلام على رسول الله و على آله و صحبه أجمعين

We are excited to announce that by the permission of Allaah, the Most Generous, we will be attempting to memorise 109 of His Beautiful Names this Ramadhaan on the Fruits Of Knowledge telegram channel (link below). This will begin on the first night of Ramadhaan inshaallaah. We will try to send on average four Names daily (this will reduce towards the end of the blessed month). After every 3 posts (containing the Beautiful Names) we will try to do a quiz where you are to answer from your memory. The quiz is completely anonymous (even the administrator doesn't see who is answering). The aim of this is not to just memorise the Beautiful Names. The aim is to implement them in our lives when making Du'aa etc.

These Names are taken from 'Al-Mabaadi Al-Mufeedah of Shaykh Yahyaa Al-Hajuuree, Pgs. 37-51' and have been translated by Faisal bin Abdul Qaadir bin Hassan Abu Sulaymaan. May Allaah, Ash-Shakuur (the Most Ready to appreciate and reward), accept from the Shaykh, the translator, and all those involved. May He, Al-Musta'aan (The One From Whom Help is Sought), bless us with the sincerity and success to complete this for His Sake Alone and to make this a means to draw closer to Him, Subhaanah. We thank Allaah, the Most Generous, for this amazing opportunity and for His countless blessings upon us.

Alhamdulillaah just making these slides with the Beautiful Names of Allaah has benefitted me so much. Subhaanallaah the fear that comes into the heart when certain Names are learnt and how you realise the power of Allaah. Subhaanallaah wallaahi.

I highly encourage everyone to participate in this if you're able.

It begins tomorrow night inshaaallaah with a quiz after every 3 slides inshaaallaah.
