“Islām is thicker than blood and water”
______________________

Due to the ongoing pandemics and the lockdown measures in place across many parts of the world, for many, this may be the most lonesome ‘Eid in years.

But did you know that many of our revert brothers and sisters - especially the unmarried - experience this loneliness and sadness every year?

I implore you to take a few moments to appreciate the blessing of being born into a Muslim family and extend that joy to as many reverts as possible. May Allāh soften our hearts towards them.

The Prophet ﷺ said:

((الرَّاحِمُونَ يَرْحَمُهُمُ الرَّحْمَنُ، ارْحَمُوا مَنْ فِي الأَرْضِ يَرْحَمْكُمْ مَنْ فِي السَّمَاءِ))

“The merciful are shown mercy by The Most Merciful (Ar-Raḥmān). Have mercy to those on earth, and you will be shown mercy from He Who is above the heavens.”

[Reported by Tirmithi; who said, it is 'ḥassan Ṣaḥīḥ']

So a special ‘Eid Mubārak to all my revert brothers & sisters out there!

RAMAḌHĀN MAY HAVE COME TO AN END, BUT THE FASTING CONTINUES...

Imām Muslim -raḥimahullāh- reported in his Ṣaḥīḥ (1164) from the ḥadīth of Abū Ayyūb Al-Ansarī -raḍhiyallāhu ‘anhu- that the Prophet ﷺ said:

((‏من صام رمضان ثم أتبعه بست من شوال كان كصيام الدهر))

"Whoever fasts Ramaḍhān and then follows it with six days of Shawwāl will be (rewarded) as if he had fasted the entire year."

How does fasting 1 month and 6 days equate to fasting an entire year?

The scholars explained that good deeds are multipled tenfolds - due to Allāh's saying:

{مَن جَاۤءَ بِٱلۡحَسَنَةِ فَلَهُۥ عَشۡرُ أَمۡثَالِهَا}

“Whoever comes with a good deed will be rewarded tenfold.”
[Sūrah Al-An‘ām 160]

That means:
1 month x 10 = 10 months
6 days x 10 = 60 days/ 2 months
10 + 2 months = 12 months / 1 year.

📚 [Refer back to the explanation of An-Nawawī]

▪If the period for wiping over the socks comes to an end, does the wudhu automatically become invalidated?▪

Our Shaykh, Muhammad ibn Hizaam - may Allaah preserve him - was asked the following question:

📩 Question:

The questioner says: If the period for wiping over the socks comes to an end, does one's taharah (wudhu) become invalid?

📝 Answer:

If the period of wiping comes to end, it doesn't nullify taharah (wudhu). All it means is that the concession for wiping has come to end, but he continues to remain in a state of purification until he nullifies it.

Spike in divorce rates and halting its rise

Our Shaykh, Muhammad ibn Hizaam -may Allaah preserve him- was asked the following question:

Question:

The questioner says: We are shocked at the rise in divorce rates these days; as soon as a slight difference arises between a man and his wife, they rush to divorce. What is your advice – may Allah bless you?

Answer:

Undoubtedly, divorce is something which brings much joy to Shaytan, and he strives very hard in this cause – as Muslim reported from the Hadeeth of Jabir ibn Abdillah, may Allah be pleased with him, that the Prophet ﷺ said:

‘Iblees places his throne on the water; he then sends detachments (for creating Fitnah); the closest to him in rank are those who create the most Fitnah. One of them comes and says: “I did so and so.” And he says: “You have done nothing.” Then another one comes and says: “I did not spare him until I separated between him and his wife.” Iblees says: “You have done well,” then he embraces him.’

So this brings great joy to the devils, hence why they pursue this matter so keenly.

Therefore, the best way to prevent divorce is to drive shaytan away, and the greatest means to drive him away is to:

remember Allah frequently fulfill the obligations preserve one’s Eeman (faith) and Tawheed (monetheism) offer the five daily prayers and being regular in all the other duties of Islam being constant in the remembrance of Allah, as this protects a person from shaytan, by Allah’s permission stay away from sins, for indeed sins destroy a person – especially major sins.

So it’s incumbent that a person fears Allah with regards to his actions and stays away committing major sins; wrongdoing, oppression etc.

One must take himself to account, because these affairs are a reason for Shaytan to gain an upper hand; frequent sin and transgression are a major cause for Shaytaan’s dominance, as well as a person becoming distant from his deen and his heart becoming hard.

So we must fulfill the duties set out by Allah by fulfilling the obligations set out in our religion, and we must fear Allah and keep away from sins and wrongdoing. If we do this – then by Allah’s permission – we will be saved from many of these afflictions, including the affliction of divorce.

May Allah grant everyone success.

Greatest advice of Ibn Taymiyyah to Ibnul-Qayyim, may Allaah have mercy upon them

Abuu Fajr 'Abdul-Fattaah Ibn 'Uthmaan, may Allaah preserve him and reward him immensely for his efforts

بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم

In relation to what is happening around the world with the reopening of masājid in some countries and the imposition of distancing between the worshippers during the Ṣalāh, I saw it to be beneficial that I translate and spread what our sheikh 'Abdullāh bin Lamḥ al-Khawlānī حفظه الله wrote regarding the validity of performing the Ṣalāh in such a manner.

We ask Allāh تبارك وتعالى to give us tawfīq and tasdīd.

Abuu Hurayrah may Allaah be pleased with him narrated that the Prophet (ﷺ) said:

"Whenever you intend to leave your house you should pray two rak’ah right before you leave. These rak’ah will protect you from harm while outside. And when you come back home you should pray another two rak’ah. They will safeguard you from harm in your house.”

Sahih: Recorded in Al- Muntaqah, 12/69/1, Al-Bazaar in his Musnad, 81 and Ad-Daylamee in his Musnad, 1/1/108.

Shaykh Albani said in his Silsilah Saheehah 3/315: “The chain of this hadeeth is acceptable and the narrators are trustworthy men used by Bukhari.”

To make clear, some scholars have spoken regarding this Hadeeth being weak even though another may have graded it authentic.
