it makes sense. But we have to realize it is not Deen. The specific phrase of “Jazaak Allaahu Khayran“ is Deen, but the reply is left up to how ever you want to answer. I am not suggesting that you must learn all those phrases I mentioned above and meanwhile you have a lot of legislated supplications to still learn, but you could simply not reply sometimes when someone says “Jazaak Allaahu Khayran“ as there is no obligatory or recommended reply needed. You could also mix up “Aameen, Wa Iyyaak“ with a simple “Aameen” or simply “Wa Iyyaak“, and sometimes no reply. Here you have four different answers. I hope I am not complicating this issue, may Allaah forgive me.

Additional note: The word ‘Aameen’ is legislated in general for Du’aa’. So a person may say Aameen based on that, but not because it is specifically related to this Du’aa’.

And it has been related that when ‘Aa’ishah, (radhiyallaah ‘anhaa) had heard the Du’aa’ of those who received some charity, saying, “Baarak Allaahu Feekum“ she replied “Wa Feehim Baarak Allaahu“ and she used to reply to their supplications in a way similar to how the people worded their supplication. See: ‘Amal al-Yowm wal-Laylah of an-Nasaa’ee (no.303).

Here is one hadeeth that shows the generality of saying “Aameen” to someone’s Du’aa:

On the authority of Jaabir ibn Samurah, may Allaah be pleased with him, the Prophet (sallallaahu ‘alayhe wa sallam) ascended the mimbar and said, “Aameen, Aameen, Aameen.” And then he (sallallaahu ‘alayhe wa sallam) said:

أَتَانِي جِبْرِيلُ عَلَيْهِ السَّلَامُ فَقَالَ: يَا مُحَمَّدُ مَنْ أَدْرَكَ أَحَدَ وَالِدَيْهِ فَمَاتَ، فَدَخَلَ النَّارَ فَأَبْعَدَهُ اللَّهُ، فَقُلْ: آمِينَ. قُلْتُ: آمِينَ “. قَالَ: ” يَا مُحَمَّدُ، مَنْ أَدْرَكَ شَهْرَ رَمَضَانَ فَمَاتَ، فَلَمْ يُغْفَرْ لَهُ فَأُدْخِلَ النَّارَ فَأَبْعَدَهُ اللَّهُ، قُلْ: آمِينَ فَقُلْتُ: آمِينَ “. قَالَ: ” وَمَنْ ذُكِرْتَ عِنْدَهُ فَلَمْ يُصَلِّ عَلَيْكَ، فَمَاتَ فَدَخَلَ النَّارَ فَأَبْعَدَهُ اللَّهُ. قُلْ: آمِينَ فَقُلْتُ: آمِينَ “.

Jibreel (peace be upon him) came to me and said, ‘O Muhammad! Whoever lives to see his parents (getting old), and he dies and goes to the Fire (because of his lack of dutifulness to them), may Allaah distance him! Say: Aameen.’ So I said, ‘Aameen.’ He said: ‘O Muhammad! Whoever reaches the month of Ramdhaan and then dies and is not forgiven (since he missed the oppurtunities to be forgiven in Ramadhaan) and is made to enter the Fire, then may Allaah distance him! Say Aameen.’ So I said: ‘Aameen.’ Then he said, ‘And whoever you have been mentioned in his presence and he does not send salaah upon you (asking Allaah to raise your mention), and then he dies and goes to the Fire (because of that), then may Allaah distance him! Say Aameen.’ So I said: ‘Aameen.'”

Reference: Saheeh At-Targheeb wat-Tarheeb (#2491).

You all know the Hadeeth of ‘Aa’ishah, when she heard the Jew saying “As-Saam ‘alaykum” (Death be unto you) to the Prophet (sallallaahu ‘alayhe wa sallam). If not, review it, it is mentioned in this article.

Ibn Khuzaymah brings an additional wording to the story, that when the Prophet (sallallaahu ‘alayhe wa sallam) rebuked ‘Aa’ishah for what she said to the Jews, he then said:

…إن اليهود قوم حسد، وهم لا يحسدونا على شيء كما يحسدونا على السلام، وعلى آمين.

“Verily the Jews are a envious group of people, and they do not envy us over anything more than they envy us over the ‘Salaam’ and ‘Aameen'”

The hadeeth was collected by Ibn Khuzaymah in his Saheeh (1/73/2), according to Al-Albaanee, who declared its chain to be authentic in his Saheehah (no.691).

It is also found in Sunan Ibn Maajah (#856 of Ma’rifah’s printing) with a similar wording. As-Sindee [d.1138] said, “(They are jealous) over the Salaam and the Aameen due to what they know about their virtues and blessings. So the meaning is: So what is befitting for you is to use them both a lot.” (Sharh As-Sindee 1/466)

Imaam Muslim brings a hadeeth in his Saheeh (no.2732), on the authority of Aboo Ad-Dardaa’, may Allaah be pleased with him, who said that the Messenger of Allaah (sallallaahu ‘alayhe wa sallam

) said:

عن أبي الدرداء رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنهُ ن رَسُول اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيهِ وَسَلَّم كان يقول: دعوة المرء المسلم لأخيه بظهر الغيب مستجابة؛ عند رأسه ملَك موَكّل كلما دعا لأخيه بخير قال الملَك الموكل به: آمين ولك بمثل.

“The supplication of a Muslim man for his brother in his absence is accepted. Every time he prays for good things for his brother, an angel near his head, the one assigned to him, says: Aameen and to you likewise.”

This shows that saying ‘Aameen’ to supplications is from the Sunnah of the Angels as well.

Al-Jassaas said in his book Ahkaam Al-Qur’aan, in his Tafseer of Soorah Yoonus:

قوله تعالى: { قَدْ أُجِيبَتْ دَعْوَتُكُمَا } أضاف الدعاء إليهما، قال أبو العالية وعكرمة ومحمد بن كعب والربيع بن موسى: ” كان موسى يدعو وهارون يؤمن فسماهما الله داعيين “. وهذا يدل على أن آمين دعاء، وإذا ثبت أنه دعاء فإخفاؤه أفضل من الجهر به لقوله تعالى: { ادْعُوا رَبَّكُمْ تَضَرُّعاً وَخُفْيَةً } [ الأعراف:55 ] آخر سورة يونس عليه السلام.

“As for Allaah’s Statement: (Verily (both of) your supplication has been answered ), then He ascribed the supplication to both of them (Moosaa and Haaroon). Aboo Al-‘Aaliyah, ‘Ikrimah, Muhammad Ibn Ka’b, and ar-Rabee’ Ibn Moosaa said, ‘Moosaa was supplicating and Haaroon was saying ‘Aameen’, so Allaah referred to both of them as making supplications.'”

If this Tafseer is correct, it shows that the phrase ‘Aameen’ was from the Sunnah of the previous Prophets as well.

Ibn Al-‘Arabee says in his Ahkaam Al-Qur’aan, in his Tafseer of Soorah Al-Faatihah, regarding the meaning of the word, “Aameen”:

معنى لفظ آمين : في تفسير هذه اللفظة: وفي ذلك ثلاثة أقوال:

قيل: إنها اسم من أسماء الله تعالى، ولا يصح نقله ولا ثبت قوله.
الثاني: قيل معناه اللهم استجب، وضعت موضع الدعاء اختصارا.
الثالث: قيل معناه كذلك يكون، والأوسط أصح وأوسط.

“There are three positions about this. Firstly it is said that it is one of the Names of Allaah, but that is not authentically relayed, nor is it an established statement. Secondly, it has been said that is means: ‘O Allaah, respond!’ And it takes the place of a supplication like an abbreviation. Thirdly, it is said that it means: ‘Let it be like that.’ The more balanced and correct opinion is the middle one (i.e. the second one).”

Abu Hurairah (May Allah be pleased with him) reported: I heard the Prophet (SalAllahu Alayhi Wasallam) saying:

"A person utters a word thoughtlessly (i.e., without thinking about its being good or not) and, as a result of this, he will fall down into the fire of Hell deeper than the distance between the east and the west.''

Sufyān Ath-Thawree رحمه الله said:

《أشجعُ الناس أشدهم من الهوى امتناعاً》

"The bravest of people are those who are the most severe in staying away from al-hawaa (desires & bidah)."

📚Reference:(بهجة المجالس ٨٠٨/١)

Stories of the Prophets, It was narrated that in the days that Prophet Musa / Moses (pbuh) wandered with Bani Israel (Children of Israel) in the desert, an intense drought befell them. Together, they raised their hands towards the heavens praying for the blessed rain to come. Then, to the astonishment of Prophet Musa / Moses (pbuh) and all those watching, the few scattered clouds that were in the sky vanished, the heat poured down, and the drought intensified.

It was revealed to Prophet Musa / Moses (pbuh) that there was a sinner amongst the tribe of Bani Israel (Children of Israel) who had disobeyed Allah (SWT) for more than forty years of his life.

"Let him separate himself from the congregation," Allah (SWT) told Prophet Musa / Moses (pbuh). "Only then shall I shower you all with rain."

Prophet Musa / Moses (pbuh) then called out to the throngs of humanity, "There is a person amongst us who has disobeyed Allah (SWT) for forty years. Let him separate himself from the congregation and only then shall we be rescued from the drought."

That man waited, looking left and right, hoping that someone else would step forward, but no one did. Sweat poured forth from his brow and he knew that he was the one. The man knew that if he stayed amongst the congregation all would die of thirst and that if he stepped forward he would be humiliated for all eternity.

He raised his hands with a sincerity he had never known before, with humility he had never tasted, and as tears poured down on both cheeks he said, "O Allah, have mercy on me! O Allah, hide my sins! O Allah, forgive me!"

As Prophet Musa / Moses (pbuh) and the people of Bani Israel (Children of Israel) waited for the sinner to step forward, the clouds hugged the sky and the rain poured. Prophet Musa / Moses (pbuh) asked Allah (SWT), "O Allah, you blessed us with rain even though the sinner did not come forward."

And Allah (SWT) replied, "O Musa, it is for the repentance of that very person that I blessed all of Bani Israel (Children of Israel) with water."

Prophet Musa / Moses (pbuh), wanting to know who this blessed man was, asked, "Show him to me O Allah!"

Allah (SWT) replied, "O Musa, I hid his sins for forty years, do you think that after his repentance I shall expose him?"

The Messenger of Allah (sallallahu alaihi wa-sallam) said: "My entire nation is safe, except al-Mujahirin (those who boast of their sins). Among the Mujaharah is that a man commits an (evil) act, and wakes up in the morning while Allah has kept his (sin) a secret, he says: 'O Fulan! Last night I did this and that.' He goes to sleep while Allah has kept his (sin) a secret but he wakes up in the morning and uncovers what Allah has kept a secret!" [Saheeh al-Bukhari]

Narrated by 'Abdullaah ibn Mas'oud (radiAllaahu anhu):

“The Messenger of Allaah (salAllaahu alayhi wa sallam) said, ‘Who do you reckon to be the childless among you?’ They said, ‘They are those who do not have any children. ‘No,’ he said, ‘The childless are those who have not sent any of their children ahead’ (i.e. none of their children have died).”

Fanaticism is divided into two categories:

1- Fanaticism towards personalities: For example, the Christians towards ʿĪsāʾ ibn Maryam. Likewise, the fanaticism of the Shīʿah towards ʿAlī ibn Abī Ṭālib and his descendants etc.

2- Fanaticism towards ideologies: This is more dangerous than the previous type of fanaticism because fanaticism towards personalities only destroys the fanatic, but fanaticism towards ideologies destroys the religion, societies, countries and nations. It destroys everything. This is like the fanaticism of the corrupt Khawārij terrorists. If their ideology is found with a people then they become corrupt because they cause corruption and claim rectification. They ruin whilst claiming to be gaining closeness to Allāh, killing innocent souls and spilling sacred blood, all the while claiming "jihād" in the path of Allāh.

We live in a time,
When the one who hides his activites is better than the one whose activities are known for envy has deep rooted in hearts.

We live in a time,
When meeting less people is better than too many for more people less time on obedience.

We live in a time,
When advise is taken as abuse and ignoring advise is taken as respect and wisdom.

We live in a time,

✒ Three Savers And Three Destroyers

قال رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم : ثلاثٍ مُنجيات : خشية الله تعالى في السر والعلانية ، والعدل في الرضا والغضب والقصد في الفقر والغنى ، وثلاثٍ مُهلكات : هوىً مُتبع ، وشُحٌ مُطاع ، وإعجاب المرء بنفسه

The Messenger of Allāh Ṣallallāhu-'Alaihi Wa Sallam said: “Three things save a person;

• Being fearful of Allāh Ta'ālā in private and in public
• And being just in happiness and in anger
• And being moderate in poverty and in richness

And three things destroy a person;

• A desire which is followed
• And greed which is obeyed
• And a person who is amazed by himself.”
