▪️He is the Exalted in Might, the Forgiving▪️

Our Shaykh, Abu Abdillah Muhammad ba Jamaal - may Allaah preserve him - said in his Tafsir of Surah Al-Mulk:

🔸▪️🔸▪️🔸▪️🔸▪️🔸▪️🔸▪️

✨ Benefit:

Allah the Mighty and Majestic said:

{وَهُوَ الْعَزِيزُ الْغَفُور}

"He is the Exalted in Might, the Forgiving” [67:2]

⤵️The Shaikh explained that this means:

‘Allah is extremely powerful in taking to account all that disobey and oppose His command. And He is the Most Honorable, Ever-Invincible. Yet with all of this ultimate power, He is Ever-Forgiving to the one that repents to Him from his mistakes then leaves them to return to His Lord.

And He combines between these two names to clarify to His servants the greatness of His forgiveness for them and to show the completeness of His power over them.

And His saying,


{الْغَفُورُ}

“The Forgiving”

This name comes on the scale in Arabic that means to do alot of. And this points to Allah’s great and tremendous forgiveness and in the numerous amounts that He forgives and it also shows how much the servant sins.

And the proof of Allah's amazing forgiveness is the hadith Qudsi that Imaam Muslim compiled from Abu Dhar (رضي الله عنه)

“ And he who meets Me in the state that his sins fill the earth, but not associating anything with Me, I would meet Him with the same (vastness) of pardon (on My behalf)."

And also the supporting hadith that Imaam Tirmidhi reported on the authority of Anas ibn Malik (رضي الله عنه) also from Abu Dhar that the Prophet(صلى الله عليه وسلم) said,
‏ ‏ ‏
‘O son of Adam! Verily as long as you called upon Me and hoped in Me, I forgave you, despite whatever may have occurred from you, and I did not mind. O son of Adam! Were your sins to reach the clouds of the sky, then you sought forgiveness from Me, I would forgive you, and I would not mind. So son of Adam! If you came to me with sins nearly as great as the earth, and then you met Me not associating anything with Me, I would come to you with forgiveness nearly as great as it.'

So oh servant of Allah, the one constantly committing mistakes and disobeying his Lord, never despair of the mercy of Allah. Know that if you repent to Allah, He forgives all sins, again and again and again.

◾Explanation of Sahīh Al Bukhāri from the Book of Knowledge◾️

By our Shaykh, the 'Allāmah, the Trustworthy Advisor, Abū 'Abdirrahmān Yahya bin 'Alī Al-Hajūri - may Allāh preserve him -
⤵️
🔸▪️🔸▪️🔸▪️🔸▪️🔸▪️🔸▪️🔸

🎙"Race! Race in benefiting.

Try O student of knowledge to benefit early.
How do you benefit? You memorise the Qurān and be proficient in it, and you memorise the Sunnah and be proficient in it, and you take those lessons which you need and be proficient in them. Hasten, I am to you an advisor. Don't delay and say the affair is easy, like it is said "fāhinah" (easy). Don't delay. Consider this month by Allāh it is a treasure. You will regret (not taking) this opportunity. And the Sunnah is a treasure. A year and you persevere in seeking knowledge continuously. By Allāh this a great Treasure! So hasten with benefitting. This is not that you leap and rush with seeking knowledge. No, rather what it means is focus, focus until you benefit early and you benefit and take advantage of that. For the age is an opportunity and the time is an opportunity... And Dār ul Hadith is an opportunity. It is possible that you study in any school or in any department, however Dār ul Hadith is a favourable opportunity that won't return.

Dār ul Hadith, where a person is able to acquire sciences in Arabic grammar and pure creed without difficulty and without being charged money.

So I say hasten, may Allāh reward you with good."

Shaykh ibn ‘Uthaymeen [may Allāh have mercy on him] said:

“The worldly-life is not a great amount of time, [short, only a number of days], days which shall pass by. Therefore remain patient until Allāh delivers His decision. [Surely Allāh is able to do all things].”

Sharh Riyādh us-Sāliheen | Page 104 | Shaykh ibn ‘Uthaymeen [may Allāh have mercy on him]

Al-ʿAllāmah Ṣāliḥ al-Fawzān, may Allaah preserve him:

“All of the tribulations are from Divine Will (Qaḍāʾ) and Decree (Qadr) of Allāh and there is no way you can escape them so upon you is to have patience and seek reward (of it from Allāh).”

● [كتاب الكبائر للشيخ محمد بن عبدالوهاب]

Sufyan Ath-Thawri [رحمه الله] said:

"Behave well in your private life and Allaah will make your public life excellent.

Take care of what is between you and Allaah, and he will take care of what is between you and the people.

Work for your Hereafter and Allaah will suffice your affairs in this world.

Sell your worldly life for your Hereafter and you will profit in them both together, and do not sell your Hereafter for your worldly life or you will lose them both together."

▪️The Weakness of the Muslims in their Qur'an▪️

Our Shaykh, Abu Abdillah Muhammad ba Jamaal -may Allaah preserve him- was asked:

📥 Question:

We are a group of brothers who establish the Sunnah of offering night prayers (in congregation). We have memorised the Qur'ān, but our memorisation is weak and we make a lot of mistakes. What do you advise us with?

📤 Answer:

By Allaah! This lockdown has exposed for Muslims their weakness in terms of the Qur'an.

It has exposed their weakness in terms of the Qur'ān.

A man comes seeking to pray Tarawīh with his family, but the man hasn't memorised (the Qur'ān), the son hasn't memorised (the Qur'ān) and the brother hasn't memorised (the Qur'ān).

Now they have realised their weakness. They have come to realise their weakness in terms of the Qur'ān. And this is a manifest shortcoming on the part of the Muslims.

And although some of them hold doctorates, professorships, or bachelor's degree, when it comes to the Qur'ān, their level is below kindergarten.

In terms of the Qur'ān, they don't even have a kindergarten diploma. This, by Allāh! Is a (clear) shortcoming.

And with these lockdown measures in place in many countries, and with the prevention of Tarawīh prayers in the masjid and people praying at home, they have come to realise their weakness in terms of the Qur'ān; and that they cannot even recite the Qur'ān in order to lead others in prayer.

For this reason, we encourage with memorising the Qur'ān and being concerned with the Qur'ān.

◾Can a woman raise her voice at her husband?◾

Our Shaykh Abū Bilāl Al-Hadaramī - may Allāh preserve him- was asked on 10th Dhul Qa'dah 1441 (1st July 2020):

📝🔹Question:

Is it permissible for a woman to raise her voice above her husbands?

📩🔸Answer:

It is not permissible for her and this is not from obedience or a good relationship. The Prophet ﷺ certainly said:

[" لَوْ كُنْتُ آمِرًا أَحَدًا أَنْ يَسْجُدَ لِأَحَدٍ لَأَمَرْتُ الْمَرْأَةَ أَنْ تَسْجُدَ لِزَوْجِهَا لعظم حَقِّهِ عَلَيْهَا".]
If I were to order anyone to prostrate to anyone else I would have ordered the woman to prostrate to her husband due to his enormous right upon her. [1]

And he ﷺ says:

["لو أَنَّ من قَدَمِهِ إلى مَفْرِقِ رأسِه قُرْحَةً تَنْبَجِسُ بالقَيْحِ والصَّدِيدِ، ثم أَقْبَلَتْ تَلْحَسُه، ما أَدَّتْ حَقَّه"]
If from his foot until the middle of his head there was a sore leaking pus and residue and then she engaged in licking it she will not have fulfilled his right. [2]

Yet this (woman) raises her voice at him. This (woman) has a lack of manners with her husband so it is appropriate for her to improve her manners with her husband and not raise her voice at him.

Or she is ignorant about her religion, so you find this from her. It is not a lack of manners, rather she is ignorant and thinks this matter is normal.

And it is Allāh from whom aid is sought.

📝🔹Question:

What if the husband is in the wrong?

📩🔸Answer:

This is still not approriate. She should advise him and point this out to him in the best possible manner.

"It Can Almost Be Said That This Is An Abandoned Sunnah"

Ibn Rajab, may Allaah have mercy upon him, said:

"And the remembrance of Allaah is not specific to the time of slaughtering, rather it's a sign of giving thanks to Allaah that He has made it subservient to His servants and from the remembrance of Allaah during all of these ten days is magnifying Him and the saying of Allaahu Akbar, Alhamdulillaah, and laa ilaaha illallaah, and it can almost be said that this is an abandoned Sunnah."

[Lataa'if Al-Maa'rif, Pg. 471]

On the Authority of Ibn 'Umar, may Allaah be pleased with them, that the Prophet ﷺ said:

"There are no days greater with Allaah nor more beloved to Him for actions to be performed within then these ten days so say much Allaahu akbar, alhamdulillaah and laa ilaaha illallaah".

[Ahmad No. 5446. Authenticated by shaykh Al-Albaanee in Al-Irwah no. 890 & Fathul-Baaree by Ibn Rajab, Vol. 6, Pg. 88]

The Conditions Of A Sacrificial Offering

Shaykh Muhammad ibn Saalih Al-'Uthaymeen

May Allaah Have Mercy Upon Him

"There are six conditions that a sacrificial offering (udhiyah) must meet:

1) The sacrificial offering must be an animal from among cattle, which include camels and cows, or smaller livestock such as sheep and goats. This is based on Allaah’s statement (interpretation of the meaning):

وَلِكُلِّ أُمَّةٍ جَعَلْنَا مَنسَكًا لِّيَذْكُرُوا۟ ٱسْمَ ٱللَّهِ عَلَىٰ مَا رَزَقَهُم مِّنۢ بَهِيمَةِ ٱلْأَنْعَٰمِۗ...

"And for every nation We have appointed religious ceremonies, that they may mention the Name of Allaah over the beast of cattle that He has given them for food..."

[Al-Qur'aan 22:34].

The term 'beasts of cattle' refers to camels, cows, sheep and goats. This definition is well known amongst the Arabs as stated by Al-Hasan, Qataadah, and others.

2) It must have reached the required age that is in accordance with the religious standards such as six-months for sheep and one-year and up for everything else. The Prophet (sallAllaahu 'alayhi wa sallam) said (translated meaning): “Do not slaughter any animal except for one that is mature in age unless that is difficult for you, in which case you may slaughter a premature one from among sheep.” [Saheeh Muslim].

'Mature in age' is the age at which an animal is considered fully developed as well as any age beyond that, while 'premature' is the age before that. With respect to a camel, a mature-aged one is one that has completed five years. With respect to a cow, a mature-aged one is one that has completed two years. A mature-aged sheep is that which is one-year old while a premature sheep is one that has competed half a year (up to one year).

So based on this, it is invalid to slaughter a camel, cow, and goat if it is under its respective 'mature' age as well as a sheep if it is under six months of age.

3) The animal must be free of any defect that would prevent its slaughter from being valid and acceptable. These defects are of four types:

1 - Clear defectiveness of the eye: This is when the animal’s eye becomes sunken or it sticks out to the point that it looks like a knob or it becomes a pale white indicating clearly that it is one-eyed.

2 - Clear illness: This is when the animal exhibits signs of sickness, such as a fever that keeps it from grazing and causes a loss of appetite, or an obvious scabies infection that will spoil its meat and harm a person’s health (if he eats it), or a deep wound that threatens to affect its health and so on.

3 - Clear limping: This is when the animal is unable to step safely (without hurting itself) when walking.

4 - Emaciation that causes brain loss: This is based on what the Prophet (sallAllaahu 'alayhi wa sallam) said when he was asked about what types of animals one should avoid when sacrificing. He gestured with his hand and said (translated meaning): “They are four: The lame animal that clearly walks crookedly; the one-eyed animal that clearly has a defect in the eye; the sick animal that clearly has signs of illness; and the emaciated animal that is (usually) not picked.”

This Hadeeth was reported by Maalik in Al-Muwatta from Al-Baraa’ ibn ‘Aazib. In another version of this report narrated by Al-Baraa’ found in the Sunan collections, he said: “The Messenger of Allaah stood up amongst us and said (translated meaning): ‘Four types (of animals) are not permissible to use as sacrificial offerings…’ and he went on to mention them.”

[Sunan Abee Daawud, No. 2802, Sunan At-Tirmithee, No. 1497, Sunan An-Nasaa’ee, No. 4369, and Sunan Ibn Maajah, No. 3144. All authenticated by shaykh Al-Albaanee].

So therefore if these four defects are found in an animal, they prevent its slaughter and sacrifice from being valid. This goes as well for any other defect that is similar to or worse than these, which means that it is also not valid to sacrifice the following types of animals:

1. A blind animal that cannot see with both its eyes.

2. An animal suffering from nausea until it releases its load an
