Prophet Muhammad peace be upon him said, “Whoever relieves the hardship of a believer in this world, Allah will relieve his hardship on the Day of Resurrection. Whoever helps ease one in difficulty, Allah will make it easy for him in this world and the Hereafter. Whoever conceals the faults of a Muslim, Allah will conceal his faults in this world and the Hereafter. Allah helps the servant as long as he helps his brother. Whoever travels a path in search of knowledge, Allah will make easy for him a path to Paradise...

CAN ONE WHO MISSES SUNNAH PRAYER BEFORE FAJR OFFER IT AFTER ?
The two rak'ah (rawaatib) before Fajr is an extremely emphasized Sunnah. Prophet of Allah (sallallaahu alayhiwa sallam) never missed it while being resident or while traveling.
"The two rak'ahs of Fajr are better than this world and everything in it.” (Narrated by Muslim, 725).
Another narration goes: "The two Rak'ah before the dawn (Fajr) prayer are dearer to me than the whole world."
Muslims are likely to miss this emphasized Sunnah due to the following reasons.
1. You wake up late, by the time you reach the masjid the obligatory prayer had already begun.
2. You completely forgot about it, realized it after completing the obligatory prayer.
Can one pray the Sunnah prayer subsequently if one encounters anyone of the aforementioned circumstances? And if so what is the evidence?
The evidence for that is the report narrated by at-Tirmidhi (422) and Abu Dawud (1267) from Qays ibn ‘Amr (radiAllahuanhu) who said: The Messenger of Allah (sallallaahu alayhiwa sallam) came out when the iqamah for prayer had been given, and I prayed Fajr with him, then the Prophet (sallallaahu alayhiwa sallam) finished and found me praying.
He (sallallaahu alayhiwa sallam) said,
"Take it easy, O Qays. Two prayers together?”
I said, “O Messenger of Allah, I did not pray the two rak’ahs before Fajr.”
He (sallallaahu alayhiwa sallam) said, “No, then.”
According to the version narrated by Abu Dawud, Messenger of Allah (sallallaahu alayhiwa sallam) remained silent.This hadith was classed as sahih by al-Albani (rahimahullah) in Sahih al-Tirmidhi.
The Messenger of Allah (sallallaahu alayhiwa sallam) remaining silent is his tacit approval. This is known as Sunnah Taqririyah.
Sunnah falls into three major types:
▪︎ Sunnah Fa'iliyah - What he ﷺ did.
▪︎ Sunnah Qualiyah - What he ﷺ said.
▪︎ Sunnah Taqririyah - What he ﷺ extended tacit approvals, approving the actions done by others.
Al-Khattabi (rahimahullah) said: “This shows that the one who misses the two rak'ahs before the obligatory prayer may offer them after the prayer, before the sun rises.” (
It should be noted that the words of the Prophet (sallallaahu alayhiwa sallam), “No, then,” mean: there is nothing wrong with you offering these two rak'ahs at that time. This is indicated by the report of Abu Dawud, where it says, “and the Messenger of Allah (sallallaahu alayhiwa sallam) remained silent.” And ‘Ata ibn Abi Rabah (rahimahullah) narrated that a man of the Ansar said: “He did not say anything to him.” Al-'Iraqi (rahimahullah) said: its isnad is hasan. And a version narrated by Ibn Abi Shaybah (rahimahullah) says: “He did not tell him to do that or tell him not to do it.” And a version narrated by Ibn Hibban says: “he did not denounce him.” The reports explain one another.”
Every Muslim Muslim must strive not to miss the two-Rak‘ah Sunnah prayer before Fajr prayer whether praying in congregation in the masjid or praying alone at home.
Allah knows best.
The two rak'ah (rawaatib) before Fajr is an extremely emphasized Sunnah. Prophet of Allah (sallallaahu alayhiwa sallam) never missed it while being resident or while traveling.
Aishah (radiAllahuanha) said: “Prophet of Allah (sallallaahu alayhiwa sallam) did not adhere more firmly to any nafl prayer (emphasized optional prayer) than the two rak’ahs of Fajr.” (Narrated by al-Bukhari, 1163; Muslim, 724).
In other words Prophet of Allah (sallallaahu alayhiwa sallam) never failed to offer this prayer, whether he was at home or travelling.
Concerning the virtue of the two rakah before Fajr prayer, Prophet of Allah (sallallaahu alayhiwa sallam) said: "The two rak'ahs of Fajr are better than this world and everything in it.” (Narrated by Muslim, 725).

Al-Khattabi (rahimahullah) said: “This shows that the one who misses the two rak'ahs before the obligatory prayer may offer them after the prayer, before the sun rises.” (
Awn al-Ma’bud)
It says in Tuhfat Al-Ahwadhi Bi Sharh Jamiʿ Al-Tirmidhi, Book by Abdur-Rahman Mubarakpuri: "Two prayers together?” is a question in the sense of denouncing, i.e., two obligatory prayers at the time of one obligatory prayer? Because there is no nafl prayer after Fajr.
“No, then.”
Concerning the virtue of the two rakahs before Fajr prayer, the Prophet of Allah (sallallaahu alayhiwa sallam) said: “The two rak'ahs of Fajr are better than this world and everything in it.” (Narrated by Muslim, 725)It should be noted that the words of the Prophet (sallallaahu alayhiwa sallam), “No, then,” mean: there is nothing wrong with you offering these two rak'ahs at that time.

Sleeping after Fajr and Asr Salaah is permissible and does NOT bring bad luck as many people believe.
Question:
What is the ruling on sleeping after Fajr prayer, and does this harden the heart, and is it considered to be something which is evil? May Allah reward you with good.
Shaykh Bin Baaz [رحمه الله]:
There is no harm in sleeping after Fajr and we do not know of any problem with it. That which has become widespread among the people that (sleeping after Fajr) is not good or it is this or that; there is no reliable proof for this. Thus sleeping after Fajr, there is no harm in this, and sleeping after Asr, there is no harm in this. But for the person to remain sitting in the prayer area after Fajr, reading, seeking Allah’s forgiveness, glorifying Allah, praising Allah and the like, until the sun rises, then this is better. This was what the Prophet (ﷺ) used to do, may the peace and blessings of Allah be upon him. And whoever leaves this off then there is no harm upon him. The one who leaves and goes to take care of his needs or sleeps or busies himself with other affairs then there is no problem with this. May Allah reward you with good.

The virtue of Ubay ibn Ka'b رضي الله عنه
Whenever the Prophet ﷺ received any revelation, he would usually call one of his scribes to write it down on whatever they could find.
Ubay ibn Ka'b رضي الله عنه was one of his scribes.
Anas bin Mālik رضي الله عنه narrated that one day Allah's Messenger ﷺ called for Ubay – after receiving some revelation – and said to him,
"Allah has ordered me to recite Qur'an to you."
Ubay said, "Did Allah mention me by name to you?"
The Prophet ﷺ said, "Yes."
Ubay said, "Have I been mentioned by the Lord of the Worlds?"
The Prophet ﷺ said, "Yes."
Then Ubay burst into tears.

WHO WAS REALLY BORN ON DECEMBER 25?
When Nimrod, the founder of Babylon, died, Semiramis told the people that her husband's spirit had taken possession of the sun. She encouraged the people to pay homage to her husband by worshipping the sun. Thus began the evil practice of sun worship. Later on when Semiramis gave birth to a son by the name of Tammuz, she hid her licentious form of living by lying to the people. She told them that she was miraculously overshadowed by the spirit of her dead husband, Nimrod, and it was in this way she was able to bring forth this so-called "son of god."
Semiramis also declared that her son, Tammuz, was in actuality the return or rebirth of her husband, Nimrod. Hence through this teaching the doctrine of reincarnation was born. And since Tammuz was born on December 25, this day was highly honored and recognized by Nimrod's supporters. Note, therefore, that this date (December 25) was observed in honor of the birth of Tammuz long before Christianity existed, and that it was not until many centuries later this pagan custom was "Christianized" as being the birthday of Christ (or Christmas day).
The similarity between some of the ancient pagan beliefs and the truth is notable. Those who existed after the Flood knew the true prophecies of God very well because the Creator had made His plans known unto all the descendants of Adam and Eve. Therefore, it was not difficult for Satan to counterfeit the truth with erroneous applications. The notable writer Alexander Hislop tells us:
"If there was one who was more deeply concerned in the tragic death of Nimrod than another, it was his wife Semiramis, who, from an originally humble position, had been raised to share with him the throne of Babylon. . . In life her husband had been honored as a hero; in death she will have him worshipped as a god, yea, as the woman's promised seed, 'Zero-ashta,' who was destined to bruise the serpent's head, and who, in doing so, was to have his own heel bruised." The Two Babylons, p. 58-59.
Of course, because of the deifying of her husband, it was not long before Nimrod's followers began to also worship Semiramis. And her son Tammuz (Zero-ashta) was worshipped as well. More and more Semiramis was revered by the people and was viewed by many as a priestess and goddess. Later on she also became known as "the queen of heaven." Thus began the awful practice of exalting human deities. These false beliefs have led up to the many different forms of idolatry that are still practiced by different people today. Yes, it was through the introduction of these satanic evils and the many sacrilegious practices of ancient Babylon that witchcraft, priestcraft, spiritualism, and other forms of paganism were born. Says the well-known author Ellen G. White:
"The doctrine of man's consciousness in death, especially the belief that spirits of the dead return to minister to the living, has prepared the way for modern spiritualism." The Great Controversy, p. 551.

Dear muslimāt,
Beware of attaching Islam to creating content just to earn fame. In the same way, beware of making content about Islam while displaying yourself in public. Muslimāt are to be hidden. We are not for public display. Leave the public da’wah to men.
Disclaimer: Most of the Muslim women who display themselves in public for da’wah purposes are not Salafiyyah. They are content creators who do not understand hijab in the first place. Check their backgrounds and you'll see how there’s a defect in their Aqeedah.
You see how nasheeds hover over their accounts, free-mixing at its peak, and many other wrong influences that the lay women confused to be good acts of deeds. Beware of supporting the Ahlul Bid’ah just because they wear abayas. Beware of giving admiration to women who are despised by Allah.
Shaykh Muhammad Saeed Raslan حفظه الله said,
“So take heed, especially in these times, whom you sit with, hear and befriend. If you see from any person an innovation, then beware from him; for indeed what he is hiding from his misguidance is greater than what he shows.”
Fudayl Ibn Iyad said, “Whoever sits with people of innovations will not be given wisdom.” (Reported by Lalakai, Abu Nuaym, and Bayhaqi)
And he said, “Whoever loves a person of innovation, Allah will erase his good deeds, and remove the light of Islam from his heart.” (Reported by Ibn Battah, Bayhaqi, and Lalakai)

How civilizations are destroyed?
In our age, three means are being utilized to bring the downfall of the Ummah.
1. Attacking the family structure.
2. Attacking the education.
3. Replacing the role models.
☆☆☆
🌟1. Attacking the family structure:
In order to attack the family structure they are clouding the role and the importance of motherhood in the upbringing and welfare of the family. Making the woman feel ashamed of her role as a housewife and a caretaker.
Whereas the Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم said:
《...a woman is the Guardian of her husband's house and is responsible for it...》 [Saheehain]
☆☆☆
🌟2. Attacking the education:
In order to corrupt the education, they are attacking the teachers; not giving them importance in the society, and lowering them from their status to the extent that even the students look down upon them.
Whoever mocks the teacher has mocked the knowledge that the teacher has.
☆☆☆
🌟3. Replacing the role models:
In order to overthrow the role models (the Salaf), they are attacking the scholars; speaking bad about them; disrespecting and dishonoring them; creating doubts about them so that no one is there who listens to them or follows them.
The situation is so bad that many people cannot distinguish between a scholar and a celebrity speaker. Whereas the Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم said:
《The scholars are the heirs of the Prophets, for the Prophets did not leave behind Dinar or Dirham, rather they left behind knowledge, so whoever takes it has taken a great share.》

Ghuluw (Exaggeration) Against the Graves of Righteous People and Making Them Idols Worshiped...
👉Imam Muslim narrated in his Sahih from Jundub bin Abdullah Al-Bajaliy Radhiyallahu 'anhu he said,
I heard from the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) five days before his death and he said: I stand acquitted before Allah that I took any one of you as friend, for Allah has taken me as His friend, as he took Ibrahim as His friend. Had I taken any one of my Ummah as a friend, I would have taken Abu Bakr as a friend. Beware of those who preceded you and used to take the graves of their prophets and righteous men as places of worship, but you must not take graves as mosques; I forbid you to do that. Sahih Muslim 532
👉A'isha and Abdullah reported:
was about to breathe his last, he drew his sheet upon his face and when he felt uneasy, he uncovered his face and said in that very state: Let there be curse upon the Jews and the Christians that they have taken the graves of their apostles as places of worship. He in fact warned (his men) against what they (the Jews and the Christians) did. Sahih Muslim 531
👉A'isha reported:
The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said during his illness from which he never recovered: Allah cursed the Jews and the Christians that they took the graves of their prophets as mosques. She ('A'isha) reported: Had it not been so, his (Prophet's) grave would have been in an open place, but it could not be due to the fear that it may not be taken as a mosque. Sahih Muslim 529
Note: The practice of tabarruk (seeking blessings) from the Prophets and Messengers has never been declared as shirk by Athari authorities, including the Najdis. Whoever states otherwise is an ignoramus who peddles Rafidi-Sufi propaganda in order to scare people from the Da'wah of Tawhid. Such false claims and slander are similar to the claim that 'Wahhabis' regard the mere visitation of graves as shirk (polytheism), whereas in truth, heretical and polytheistic rituals at the graves are what are condemned by Sunni scholars, not the visitation itself (where it is Sunnah to pray for and not to the deceased, prophets, saints and ordinary Muslims alike).

You can watch a person. You can see them laugh. You can see them post happy pictures on social media, and be polite, and carry on casual conversations.
You can look at a person. You can see their handbag. You can see their clothes, and their hair, and their shoes.
But you know what you can’t see?
You can’t see the fight they just had with their spouse. You can’t see their tears from the night before.
You can’t see the helpless feeling they’re experiencing of trying to help their teenager who keeps going in the wrong direction. You can’t see the time, and energy, and love they’ve dedicated to raising good children. You can’t see how hard they work without even an ounce of appreciation.
You can’t see the demotion they just received, or the rejection they’re facing. You can’t see the two jobs they’re working just to make ends meet.
You can’t see the loved one they just lost. You can’t see the parent who was just diagnosed with cancer. You can’t see their battle with infertility, or the miscarriage they recently had.
You can’t see their anxiety. You can’t see the depression they’ve been battling for who knows how long.
You can’t see their loneliness.
You can’t see their brokenness.
You can’t see their breakdowns.
You can’t see their heartache.
You can’t see the silent weight they constantly carry on their shoulders.
You can’t see their fear, or the lies they tell themself. You can’t see their inner turmoil, or the way they lay in bed every single night and wonder why they aren’t enough, and if they’ll ever just learn to like who they are.
You can’t see how hard they’re working to get through this day, or this week, or this season.
You can’t see all the things they never share. You can’t see all the things they coverup. You can’t see all the things they are desperate to keep hidden.
We think we know people. We look at people, and think we see them, but the truth is: most of the time, we only see traces of the truth. We only see a fraction of the full story.
Don’t judge.
Don’t be unkind.
Don’t assume anything except that they are loved by the same God who loves you, and what they need most right now is grace.
Maybe we can’t see, but with one simple act of love, we can help them see that there is still good in the world, that good people exist, and that there is always, always a reason to keep going.
You can look at a person. You can see their handbag. You can see their clothes, and their hair, and their shoes.
But you know what you can’t see?
You can’t see the fight they just had with their spouse. You can’t see their tears from the night before.
You can’t see the helpless feeling they’re experiencing of trying to help their teenager who keeps going in the wrong direction. You can’t see the time, and energy, and love they’ve dedicated to raising good children. You can’t see how hard they work without even an ounce of appreciation.

Prophet Sulayman عليه السلام, the son of Dawud passed by a bird that was flying circles around a female bird. "Do you know what he is saying?" Sulayman asked his companions.
They replied, "What is he saying, Prophet of Allah?"
"He is proposing to her, saying, 'Marry me and I will house you any house of Damascus you desire.'" Sulayman عليه السلا said, "The chambers of Damascus are made out of rock, no one is able to live in them, but every suitor lies."
[Ak Bidayah wan Nihayah 2/3324]

“A worshipper once looked at a beautiful person, so his teacher told him, ‘You will find the punishment for that look!’ So after forty years, he forgot the Qur’ān he memorised.
Another said, ‘I made fun of a person who lost some of his teeth, so my teeth were scattered, and I looked at a woman who was not lawful for me, so my wife was looked at by whom I did not want.’”
[Captured Thoughts by Ibn Al-Jawzī رحمه الله pg. 974]

❝When the people of Jannah will reunite, they will remember all the times they spoke about Jannah in this world. They’ll look back and laugh, at how short life was, and then smile, because beautiful is their final abode.
The people of paradise will have all that they desire. One step into Jannah and they will remember no pain. They will say they never suffered, they will say they never cried.
A dip in Jannah.
Oh how much we long for that moment. The moment where we reunite, we hug our loved ones once again. We forget about all the pain, and thank Allāh for all the tests!
How strange does it seem, that these tests which weigh a ton on our chest today will one day elevate us. Elevate us so high, that we will thank Allāh. We will thank Him for testing us, for loving us and for giving us more than anyone could imagine.
A place of eternity, vast, beautiful, peaceful.
Everything one can desire.
Be patient, oh beautiful slaves of Allāh, for our Lord is more Merciful than a mother is to her child.❞
- Imām Ibn al-Qayyim (رحمه الله) in “Al-Fawa’īd” (pg. 119).
