#The_Hour_of_response #Raising_the_hands_for_duā

Abū Burda b. Abut Mūsa al-Ash’arī (may Allāh be pleased with him) reported:

’Abdullāh bin ’Umar said to me: “Did you hear anything from your father narrating something from the Messenger of Allāh (ﷺ) about the (special) hour on Friday?” I said: “Yes, I heard him say from the Messenger of Allāh (ﷺ), “It is between the time when the Imām sits down and the end of the prayer.”

[Ṣaḥīḥ Muslim 853]

قال الشيخ صالح ابن عثيمين رحمه الله،

" ..فينبغي أن ينتهز الفرصة فيدعو بين الخطبتين. وأما رفع اليدين بذلك فلا أعلم به بأساً ؛ لأن الأصل في الدعاء أن مِن آدابه رفع اليدين ، فإذا رفع الإنسان يده فلا حرج ، وإذا دعا بدون رفع يد فلا حرج ، وهذا في الدعاء الذي بين الخطبتين. "

[فتاوى نور على الدرب" (فتاوى الصلاة/صلاة الجمعة)]

Shaykh Sālih Ibn ‘Uthaymīn (may Allāh be pleased with him) said,

“..One should make the most of this opportunity and say du’ā’ between the two khutbahs. With regard to raising the hands, I do not think there is anything wrong with it, because the basic principle with regard to du’ā’ is that its etiquette includes raising the hands. So if a person raises his hands there is nothing wrong with it, and if he says du’ā’ without raising his hands there is nothing wrong with it. This has to do with du’ā’ between the two khutbahs.“

Shaikh Muhammad Ibn Saaleh al-Uthaymeen lُ[رَحِمَهُ اْلَّله]l said:

❝Dσ yσu see any destructiσn mσre severe than the destructiσn σf the Ummah nσwadays? They are Billiσn in numbers, they are nearly σne-fσurth σf the wσrld pσpulatiσn, but they have nσ value in the glσbal cσmmunity in spite σf having mσral fσrce, material pσwer and manpσwer. But when they neglected the Deen σf Allaah, Allaah عز وجل fσrsσσk them, sσ that a persσn trusts (and relies σn) the σppressσrs amσng the Kuffaar mσre than he trusts his σwn brσthers amσng the Muslims – and this is an σrdeal and a calamity.❞

THE REWARD FOR THE BELIEVER FOR DYING IN OTHER THAN HIS COUNTRY OF BIRTH.

‘Abdullah ibn ‘Amr (radiyallahu ‘anhuma) said, “A man who was born in Madinah passed away in Madinah. Rasulullah (sallallahu ‘alayhi wa sallam) said:

‘If only he passed away somewhere other than his birthplace [i.e. If only he was born out of Madinah and passed away in Madinah].’

Someone asked ‘And why is that O Rasulullah?’ (sallallahu ‘alayhi wa sallam)

He (sallallaahu alayhiwa sallam) eplied, ‘When a person passes away somewhere other than his birthplace, a [place] will be measured for him in Jannah [as large as the distance] from the place where he was born to the place where he passed away.”

(Sunan Nasai; Al Mujtaba, Hadith: 1832, Sunan Ibn Majah, Hadith: 1614, Musnad Ahmad, vol. 2 pg. 177. Refer: Hashiyatus Sindhi ‘Musnad Imam Ahmad, vol. 2 pg. 253/254). Imam Ibn Hibban (rahimahullah) has declared the Hadith authentic. (Sahih Ibn Hibban; Al Ihsan, Hadith: 2934). Ahmad, An-Nasaa’i, Ibn Maajah, and Ibn Hibbaan; Al-Albaani: Hasan (sound), Ahmad Shaakir: Saheeh (authentic)]

As for the meaning of his statement, “a space will be measured for him in Paradise (as big as the distance) from the place where he was born to the place where he died,” As-Suyooti (rahimahullah) said: “At-Tayyibi (rahimahullah) said: ‘It means that His grave will be made wider with a space as large as the distance between his grave and birthplace, and a gate to Paradise will be open for him.’”

Based on this interpretation, there is no contradiction between this Hadeeth and what was reported about the dominion given to an inhabitant of Paradise. The Hadeeth at hand is about widening his grave, and the other is about the ‘dominion’ given to him in Paradise.

Allah Knows best.

Sheikh Uthaymīn رحمه الله said:

"You must cure the sinner as a gentle doctor who treats a wound in order for it to heal, he doesn't treat the wound in order for it to get worse, so he treats this person with with gentleness and a desire for good for him and out of mercy for him."

● {Majmoo' Fataawaa wa Rasaa'il Fadilatush, 27/311-312}

📌Shaykh Muhammad ibn al-Uthaymeen was asked:

"Do you have an advice for the beginner student of knowledge?"

The Shaykh answered: “The advice to every person is that he purifies his intention for the sake of Allah (The Mighty and Majestic) and his intention should neither be leadership nor prestige, nor wealth; rather his intention should be the removal of ignorance from himself and others. And he should establish the religion, defend and guard it. This is the most virtuous thing."

[Liqaa Al-Baab Al-Maftooh 226]

Pay attention to small acts of goodness:

Imaam Ahmad (رحمه الله) reported from Abu Juray al-Hujaymi (رضي الله عنه) who said:

“I came to the Messenger of Allaah (ﷺ) and said: ‘O Messenger of Allaah, we are a desert people. Teach us something by which Allaah, may He be blessed and exalted, will benefit us.’ He (ﷺ) said:

‘Do not look down on any act of goodness, even if it is just emptying your bucket into the vessel of one who wants to drink, or speaking to your brother with a cheerful expression.’”

[Musnad Ahmad, 5/63; as-Silsilat as-Saheehah, 1352]..

Mawlid is an innovation, ( biddah.)

The heart in its journey towards Allah! Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala, is like a bird whose head is love, while fear and hope are its two wings.

When the head and the two wings are sound and healthy the flight of the bird is good, but when the head is cut off, it immediately dies, and when either or both wings are deficient, the bird cannot properly fly and may become victim of any hunter or snare.

The righteous predecessors preferred to strengthen the wing of fear during good times when heedlessness is feared, and to
strengthen the wing of hope at times of calamity and when near death.

Some have said that it is better to strengthen fear more than hope because when vain hopes overcome a person he is ruined. Others say that the best of situation is a complete balance of hope and fear with overwhelming love, for love is composite while
hope is a sharpener and fear a driver.
(Imam Ibn Al-Qayyim, Madarij As- Salikeen, pg-6)

*Allah Said:*

And give to the kinsman his due and to the Miskin (poor) and to the wayfarer. But spend not wastefully (your wealth) in the manner of a spendthrift. (Tafsir At-Tabari)

Verily, the spendthrifts are brothers of the Shayatin (devils), and the Shaitan (Devil-Satan) is ever ungrateful to his Lord.

And if you (O Muhammad صلى الله عليه و سلم) turn away from them (kindred, poor, wayfarer whom We have ordered you to give their rights, but if you have no money at the time they ask you for it) and you are awaiting a mercy from your Lord for which you hope, then, speak unto them a soft kind word (i.e. Allah will give me and I shall give you).

And let not your hand be tied (like a miser) to your neck, nor stretch it forth to its utmost reach (like a spendthrift), so that you become blameworthy and in severe poverty.

Truly, your Lord enlarges the provision for whom He wills and straitens (for whom He wills). Verily, He is Ever All-Knower, All-Seer of His slaves.

The 10th of Muharram (Ashura) is a significant day:
1. There are narrations that Makkan Arabs fasted it in Jahiliyyah as an inherited tradition of Ibrahim. Some say Nuh fasted it because it was the day his Ark came to land.

2. The Prophet met Jews who fasted it in Madinah as the day they where saved from their Pharaoh .

3. The Prophet fasted it and commanded others to fast it. It was the obligatory fasting before Ramadan was made obligatory.

4. When Ramadan became obligatory, the 10th of Muharram became a Sunnah.

5. The Prophet said he would fast the 9th a year before his death. He died without fasting it. Hence it is recommended to fast the 9th and 10th. One should only add the 11th if one has doubt about the commencement of the month.

6. It is a reprehensible innovation, bid'ah, to turn that day into a day of mourning as the Shia do. Or turn it into a celebration as the Nawasib heretics do.

7. 9th and 10th falls on Monday and Tuesday respectively. If you can't fast both days , fast Tuesday.

May Allah accept our worship.

Causes of punishment in the grave.

Debt.

Debts,to those of us borrowing money(on phone)and credit or data let know is Haram due to interest and ask yourself how will your family know you own on your phone for them to pay? And also let your family know those and amount you own from people so they can pay for you especially when you are dead.

Debt

One of the things that harm the deceased in his grave is debt that he owes. It was narrated that Sa’d ibn al-Atwal said: My brother died and left behind three hundred dinars, and he left behind young children. I wanted to spend on them, but the Messenger of Allaah (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said to me: “Your brother is being detained by his debt, so go and pay it off.” So I went and paid it off, then I came and said: O Messenger of Allaah, I have paid it off for him, and there is nothing left but a woman who is claiming two dinars, but she does not have any proof. He said: “Give it to her, for she is telling the truth.” Narrated by Ahmad (16776) and Ibn Maajah (2/82); classed as saheeh by al-Albaani in Saheeh al-Jaami’ (1550).

Ibn al-Qayyim رحمه الله:

‎“The traveller will reach his destination if he continues on his way, adheres to the right path, and wakes up at night (for worship). But he who strays from the right path and sleeps at night, how can he reach his destination?.”

‎[al-Fawā’id, Pg. 160]

Ibn Al-Jawzi, may Allaah have mercy upon him, said:

“Punishment may be delayed and come at the end of one’s life. What a bad life this would be at old age for one to suffer due to his sins during his youth!”

Sayd Al-Khaatir 315

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

“When your heart grows heedless and your soul engulfs in worldly matters, visit the graves. Reflect on those who, just yesterday, like you, walked the same earth as you do now.”

Riyādh us-Sāliheen, 3/473

Shaykh Rabee‘ bin Hādi al-Madkhali, [may Allāh preserve him], said:

“By Allāh, even if swords were placed on our necks, we would not compromise on speaking the truth.”
