“ We know of no evidence that prescribes kissing the Quraan, which was revealed to be recited, respected, understood and acted upon.” (Fataawa al-Lajnah al-Daaimah, no. 4172)
‼️4.* Joining the end of Surah Naas and start right away with
al-Faatihah and Baqarah*
Some people join the end of Surah Naas and start right away with
al-Faatihah and the first few aayaat of Baqarah.
*There’s no proof of any of this*.
🍃 Shaykh ‘Abd-Al-Rahmaan al-Barraak said:
“There is no need to read from the end of the Mus-haf and then join it to the beginning.
Doing something in this manner requires evidence, because reading Qur’aan is an act of worship, and acts of worship must be done only in the manner in which the Prophet Sal Allaahu Alaiyhi wa Sallam did them.”
‼️5. *Donating the reward of the Qur’aan or “bakhshna” to others:*
Some people “donate” the reward of their recitation to their deceased loved ones. (“Bakhshna”)
Or even to the Prophet sal Allaahu Alayhi wa sallam and the Sahaabah.
But there’s NO PROOF of ‘bakhshna’ or donating the reward of reciting the Qur’aan on the Prophet sal Allaahu Alayhi wa sallam or his Sahaabah, or our deceased loved ones etc.
*That’s bid’ah*.
When the Prophet sal Allaahu Alayhi wa sallam read the Qur’aan, he NEVER “donated” the reward of the Qur’aan to his deceased loved ones.
And the Sahaabah NEVER donated the rewards of reading the Qur’aan
to the Prophet sal Allaahu Alayhi wa sallam, although they were the ones who REALLY TRULY LOVED and cared for the Prophet sal Allaahu Alayhi wa sallam.
If that was good, they would have been the first ones to do it and we would have had proof of that.
*But we don’t*.
So we should not be doing that either.
🍃 Shaikh Ibn Baaz said regarding reading Qur’aan for the deceased:
“There is NO REPORT in the Holy Qur’aan or in the Sunnah of the Messenger of Allaah Sal Allaahu Alaiyhi wa Sallam, or from his companions (may Allaah be pleased with them) to indicate that it is prescribed to give one's reading of Qur’aan (or the reward thereof) to one's parents or to anyone else.
Rather Allaah has enjoined reading Qur’aan so that one may BENEFIT from it, LEARN from it, PONDER its meanings and ACT upon it.
If giving the reward for reading to another was permissible or prescribed, the righteous salaf would have done it.
*It is not permissible to make ANALOGIES with regard to acts of worship, because they can ONLY be proven by a text from the Book of Allaah Subhaanahu wa Ta’aala or the Sunnah of His Prophet Sal Allaahu Alaiyhi wa Sallam*, because of the hadeeth quoted above and other similar reports.”
(Majmoo’ Fataawa al-Shaykh Ibn Baaz, 8/360, 361)
So just finish reading the Qur’aan, then praise and thank Allaah and make ANY duaa.
That’s it.
And Allaah knows best

🔺Mistakes related to Eid al-Fitr🔺
by Asma Bint Shameem
🔺 Mistake #1: Spending the night of Eid in worship.
Some people think that it is prescribed to spend the night of Eid in worship.
They even call it "Laylatul Jazaa'" claiming that this is the night that their efforts will be 'paid off' by Allaah Subhaanahu wa Ta'ala.
However, there is NO SAHEEH HADEETH legislating such a practice in any of the authentic hadeeth books.
Rather this practice is based on a VERY WEAK hadeeth and some scholars even consider it FABRICATED.
The so called hadeeth says:
"Whoever stays up on the night of Eid, his heart will not die on the day when hearts die."
This hadeeth is NOT saheeh as classified by Shaykh al-Albaani. (Silsilat al-Ahaadeeth al-Da'eefah wa'l-Mawdoo'ah by Sheikh al-Albaani)
🍃 Ibn Taymiyah said:
"The ahaadeeth in which the nights before the two Eids are mentioned are FALSELY attributed to the Prophet (sal Allaahu Alaiyhi wa sallam)."
So do NOT single out the night of Eid for Ibaadah, as this is a kind of bid'ah that is NOT proven from the Prophet (sal Allaahu Alaiyhi wa sallam) or his Sahaabah.
If it was a good thing to do, the Prophet (sal Allaahu Alaiyhi wa sallam)." or his sahaabah would have done it and we would have evidence for it.
However, if you wake up every day for Qiyaam or Tahajjud and it is part of you NORMAL nightly routine to pray and worship at this time, then it is okay to do so.
But to PICK OUT this night thinking there is extra reward and special status to worship this night is not correct.
🔺 Mistake #2: Celebrating the night before Eid ("Chand Raat") in FORBIDDEN ways:
Some people do the exact opposite of the above and spend the night before Eid, singing, dancing , listening to music, with free mixing of men and women, lack of hijaab and hayaa'.
They forget the promises they made to Allaah during Ramadhaan to stay away from haraam.
Do you really want to throw away all your hard work and effort you put in worship during Ramadhaan for just a few hours of utterly useless waste of time?
Having said that, there is nothing wrong with applying henna, getting together with mahram family members and having halaal fun, if you want as a celebration for Eid.
But just remember moderation is the key to everything.
🔺 Mistake #3: Fasting on the Day of Eid
It is haraam to fast on the Day of Eid, as most of us know Alhamdulillaah.
"He (sal Allaahu Alaiyhi wa sallam) forbade fasting on the day of (Eid) al-Fitr and the day of al-Nahr (Eid al-Adha)." (Bukhaari, Muslim)
🔺 Mistake #4: Visiting graves specifically on the day of Eid ONLY
Some people think it’s part of Eid to go visit the graveyard.
But that’s not true.
Do not make it a point to visit graves on Eid Day ONLY.
To do so goes against the teaching of the Prophet (sal Allaahu Alaiyhi wa sallam).
It comes under the general meaning of the Prophet's prohibition on visiting graves on a specific day and making that like a festival. (Ahkaam al-Janaa'iz wa Bida'uha by al-Albaani)
However, if one visits the graves throughout the year, without singling out the day of Eid, there is no harm.
🔺 Mistake #5: Women mixing with the men
It is not right for women and men to freely mix and mingle and hang out with each other for no reason, if they are not mahrams, whether throughout the year or during Eid.
But we see a lot of brothers and sisters talking, joking, mixing, “eyeing” each other on Eid, although Allaah has told both the believing men and the believing women to lower their gaze.
Worse than that is when we see some totally non-mahram brothers and sisters shaking hands with each other or even hugging non-mahrams for "Eid"!
Don’t forget, it is not right to shake hands of non-mahrams, EVEN if it is Eid!
🍃The Prophet (sal Allaahu Alaiyhi wa sallam) said:
'If one of you were to be struck in the head with an iron needle, it would be better for him than if he were to touch a woman he is not allowed to." (al-Tabaraani; saheeh by al-Albaani).

🔺 Mistake #6: Women going out wearing perfume and makeup, tight clothing and no hijaab
This is such a serious issue, yet many people take this matter so lightly.
Throngs and throngs of young beautiful Muslim girls walk out into the prayer area and other places, all decked up with the most beautiful clothes, jewelry, make-up, perfume... for all the world to see.
Subhaan Allaah!
What happened to all your ibaadaat, the ayaat of the Quraan you read about Hijaab, the promises you made to Allaah to be good?
Did you not read in the Qur'aan that it is FARDH for an adult Muslim woman to wear hijaab and cover herself and her hair?
Remember sisters, we will be asked about Hijaab on the Day we stand in front of Allaah.
🍃Allaah says:
"O Prophet! Tell your wives and your daughters and the believing women to draw their cloaks all over their bodies. That will be better, that they should be known (as free respectable women) so as not to be annoyed. And Allaah is Ever Oft Forgiving, Most Merciful" [al-Ahzaab:59].
🍃And the Prophet (sal Allaahu Alaiyhi wa sallam) said:
"Any woman who puts on perfume and passes by people so that they can smell her fragrance, is an adulteress."
(al-Nasaa'i, al-Tirmidhi-hasan )
🔺 Mistake #7: Listening to music and attending Eid parties with haraam things.
It is forbidden in our Deen to listen to music, yet people take this matter very lightly too. It's everywhere...on TV and on the radio, in cars, homes and marketplaces, and even on cell phones.
On Eid day, you see people driving by, music playing full blast, 'enjoying Eid',, thinking it's ok to do so.
They forget that there is no joy, no blessing in the disobedience to Allaah.
This confirms the words of the Prophet (sal Allaahu Alaiyhi wa sallam) who said: "There will be among my ummah people who will regard adultery, silk, alcohol and musical instruments as permissible."
(Bukhaari)
Yes, it is from the Sunnah to enjoy the celebration of Eid, but always remember to observe the limits prescribed by Islam.
🔺 Mistake #8: Not praying the Eid prayer.
Some people think it is not a big deal if they don't pray Salatul Eid.
They either sleep through it or just don't think it's important.
However, it is unanimously agreed that the Eid prayer is prescribed in Islam and it is a very highly recommended act of worship; so much so that some Ulama even considered it "fard 'ayn" (an individual obligation), and that not doing it is a sin. (Majmoo' Fataawa Ibn 'Uthaymeen)
The Prophet (sal Allaahu Alaiyhi wa sallam) commanded even the virgins and women in seclusion, i.e., those who did not ordinarily come out to pray, to attend the Eid prayer place.
🔺 Mistake #9: Not saying the Takbeeraat out loud (for men) or at the right time
Saying the takbeeraat out loud is one of the greatest Sunnahs on the day of Eid because Allaah says:
"(He wants that you) must complete the same number (of days), and that you must magnify Allaah [i.e. to say Takbeer (Allaahu Akbar) for having guided you so that you may be grateful to Him" [al-Baqarah:185]
According to Shaykh Ibn Uthaymeen, the time for takbeer begins when it is proven that the new moon of Shawwaal has been sighted or thirty days of Ramadaan have been completed. And it ends when the Eid prayer begins. (Majmoo' Fataawa Ibn 'Uthaymeen)
Men should raise their voices reciting this dhikr wherever they may be, in the masjids, in their cars or homes, etc. but women should say it softly, without raising their voices.
🔺 Mistake #10: “Feeling RELIEVED that Ramadhaan is finally over!”
Some people “can't wait” for Ramadhaan to be over and feel a sense of 'relief' once it ends, as if released from some kind of jail, Aaoodhu Billaah.
It's like they were waiting for their 'sentence' to end and now they are 'free'!
May Allaah protect us from that kind of thinking.
Remember, this fasting, this Ibaadah, this opportunity for dua and forgiveness is really a blessing on us, rather than hardship.
It is really for our own good and it is nobody but US that will benefit at the end.
This is such a serious issue, yet many people take this matter so lightly.

Not only does fasting help us control our desires and trains us for the rest of the year, but it also gives us compassion for the poor, as well as many physical and spiritual benefits.
But most of all, it brings us closer to Allaah and instills Taqwa in our hearts and is a means for attaining Jannah and avoiding the fire of Hell.
And Allaah knows best.

SALAT UL EID ✨
The Prophet of Allah (ﷺ) said:
"There should be seven Takbirs in the first (Rak'ah) of Al-Fitr, and five in the second. And the recitation should be after them."
📚: Sunan Abi Dawud 1151 | Hasan
___
▪️ How to Pray Salatul Eid?
It is of 2 rakahs. It consists of 11 takbirs in total, 7 in the first & 5 in the second.
▪️ Brief method of praying:
• You make your intention in heart of praying 2 rakahs Salatul Eid, you face the qiblah while being in the state of wudu & start the salah and follow the imam.
• Start with the first takbir by raising the hands till your shoulders or ears & then
place them on your chest.
• Then you recite the opening dua which you make in every Salah (Dua Istiftaah) and then the imam says 6 or 7 takbirs [a] in the first rakah (apart from the takbir of ruku), you will also say Takbir with the imam & do rafa yadain (raising hand till shoulders or ears) with each Takbir. [b]
• After saying these takbirs for 6 or 7 times, the imam starts with the surah fatihah & the Surah Qauf or Surah A'la [c] (don't forget to recite surah fatihah quietly behind the imam).
• After finishing recitation (from here till the jalsah istirahat, everything is same like you do in normal salah)
• then get up for second rakah. In the second rakah after standing up, you make the rest 5 takbirs with the imam & then the recitation of surah fatihah starts & then the imam recites Surah Qamar or Surah Ghashiya [c] (the rest method is same for second rakah as mentioned above for the first rakah, then you sit in tashahhud like you do in last rakah of every prayer & recite attahiyyat, durood & duas, just like you do in normal salah, then you do tasleem both sides & the prayer ends here.)
___
[a] The difference of 6 & 7 is because those scholars who say there are 6 count the opening takbir as one takbir too & those scholars who say there are 7, say that the hadith mentions the number 7 in total so there should be 7 there is no harm in both opinions, so do what the imam does.
[b] Evidence for rafa yadain in every Takbir mentioned in Musnad Ahmad, hadith, 6175, graded Hasan by Shaykh Zubair & Sahih by Shaykh Albani.
[c] Evidence for reciting surah Qauf or Surah A'la in first rakah: Sahih Muslim 878, 891. Evidence for reciting Surah Qamar or Surah Ghashiya in second rakah: Sahih Muslim 878, 891.

What should be done if Eid coincides with Friday
If the day of Eid coincides with Friday, then whoever prays Eid with the imaam does not have to attend Jumu’ah (it is not obligatory on him); in his case it becomes Sunnah. If he does not pray Jumu’ah, he has to pray Zuhr. This is in the case of people other than the imaam. As for the imaam, he has to be present for Jumu’ah and lead those Muslims who attend the prayer. The Jumu’ah prayer should not be forsaken completely on this day.

🌷Combining two intentions in our Ibaadaat🌷
By Asma bint Shameem
Ibaadaat are of two kinds:
A) Those you can combine.
B) And those you can not combine.
🔺*A) The Ibaadaat you can combine:*
You can combine two (or more) intentions for one act of ibaadah in those situations where one of the two acts of worship is NONSPECIFIC, meaning it's not intended for its own sake.
Some examples of nonspecific prayers are: Tahiyyatul masjid and tahiyyatul wudhu (the two rakaat following wudhu)
So if you want to pray ANY of your prayers, you can combine this with the intention of praying TAHIYYATUL WUDHU with it as well.
That's because the purpose of the tahiyyatul wudhu is to pray straight after making wudhu, whether it's the fardh prayer, nafil prayer or any other prayer.
Similarly, the purpose of TAHIYYATUL MASJID is to offer two rakaat prayer as a greeting to the masjid before we sit down.
And it can be combined with ANY prayer with our intention.
So we could combine the intention of two rakaat nafl on entering the masjid with ANY prayer, whether it’s the sunnah prayer or the fardh.
🍃Shaykh Khaalid al-Mushayqih said:
“Tahiyyatul Masjid” or “Greeting the masjid” is not a prayer that is intended for its own sake, so it may be combined with another prayer, such as the regular Sunnah prayer.
So if you enter the masjid to pray Dhuhr, then you can pray two rak‘ahs with the intention of the regular Sunnah prayer and with the intention of greeting the masjid.
If you intend to greet the masjid and to offer the regular Sunnah prayer, you will attain the reward of two prayers in two rak‘ahs.
If you do wudoo’ and come to the masjid with the intention of offering the regular Sunnah prayer AND greeting the masjid AND praying the two rak‘ahs following wudoo’, then you will attain the REWARD of THREE prayers in two rak‘ahs.
This is one of the benefits of forming the intention.
Similarly, if a person does wudoo’ for Duhaa, then prays two rak‘ahs, intending them to be the two rak‘ahs following wudoo’ and the two rak‘ahs of Duhaa, he will attain the reward of TWO prayers in TWO rak‘ahs."
(al-‘Aqd ath-Thameen (p. 161).
🔺 *B) The kind of ibaadaat that are NOT ALLOWED to be combined:
Those ibaadaat that are SPECIFIC or INDEPENDENT of other acts of ibaadaat are NOT allowed to be combined.*
🍃 Shaykh Ibn Uthaymeen gave an example of that.
He said:
"If a man missed the Sunnah prayer of Fajr, until the sun rose and the time for Duhaa prayer came.
In this case, the Sunnah of Fajr can NOT suffice for Duhaa prayer, and Duhaa can NOT suffice for the Sunnah of Fajr, and they can NOT be combined either, because the Sunnah of Fajr is INDEPENDENT and the Sunnah of Duhaa is SEPARATE and INDEPENDENT.
Doing one of them does not suffice for the other.
Similarly, if one of them is CONNECTED to the one that came before it, then they cannot be combined.
If someone were to say: I want to form the intention to combine the OBLIGATORY prayer of Fajr and the regular SUNNAH of Fajr, we say:
That is NOT VALID, because the regular Sunnah prayer is CONNECTED to the (obligatory) prayer, so doing one of them does not suffice for the other."
🍃 And he said:
"A similar example is the Sunnah prayer following Tawaaf and the Sunnah prayer of Fajr.
For example, if a person finishes his Tawaaf after the adhaan for Fajr prayer and before the iqaamah, and he intends to combine the Sunnah prayer of Tawaaf with the Sunnah prayer of Fajr, this is not valid,
That’s because doing one of them does not suffice for the other, because the SUNNAH of TAWAAF is to be intended for its OWN SAKE, and the SUNNAH of FAJR is to be intended FOR ITS OWN SAKE."
(Liqaa’aat al-Baab al-Maftooh)
🌷 Another example would be combining the intentions for FASTING.
If someone wants to make up their fardh fast that they missed in Ramadhaan, on Monday and Thursday, that is perfectly fine and allowed because fasting on Monday and Thursday is a NONSPECIFIC fasting.

🌷 Another example would be combining the intentions for FASTING.
If someone wants to make up their fardh fast that they missed in Ramadhaan, on Monday and Thursday, that is perfectly fine and allowed because fasting on Monday and Thursday is a NONSPECIFIC fasting.
Forwarded from In Pursuit of Knowledge by Ustaadhah Asma bint Shameem
And if they want to make up their fardh fasts on these two days, with two intentions, (one for making up the fardh, the other to follow the sunnah of fasting on Monday and Thursday), they get DOUBLE rewards.
Similarly if they have their fardh Ramadhaan fasts left to make you, they CAN COMBINE the intention to make up their fardh Ramadhaan fasts with the fasts of Dhul-Hijjah or Ashooraa etc.
That’s because fasting in the first nine days of Dhul-Hijjah is a NONSPECIFIC fast.
BUT one can NOT combine fasting of their “make up fardh days” with the sunnah fasting of the six days of shawwaal.
Why?
Because making up your fardh fasts is INDEPENDENT and SPECIFIC and fasting the six days of shawwaal is *”ALSO”* INDEPENDENT and SPECIFIC.
Shaikh Ibn Uthaymeen explains:
“If a person fasts the day of ‘Arafah or the day of ‘Ashoora’, and he still owes fasts from Ramadhaan, his fast will be valid, but if he intended to fast that day to make up for a missed Ramadhaan fast, he will have two rewards: the reward of the day of ‘Arafah or the day of ‘Ashoora’, and the reward for making up the missed fast.
This applies to voluntary fasts in *general*, that have nothing to do with Ramadhaan.
But with regard to the six days of Shawwaal, they are connected to Ramadhaan, and can only be done after making it up.
If a person fasts these days before making up missed Ramadhaan fasts, he will not attain the reward for them, because the Prophet Sal Allaahu Alaiyhi wa Sallam
said:
“Whoever fasts Ramadhaan then follows it with six days of Shawwaal, it will be as if he fasted for a lifetime.”
And it is well known that if a person owes missed fasts, then he cannot be regarded as having fasted Ramadhaan until he completes the days that he owes.”
(Fataawea as-Siyaam (438)
And Allah knows best.
