🕌 Dua’a directly after the prayer is not legislated – Explained by Shaykh Uthaymeen (Rahimahullah)

❓Question:

You mentioned as it relates to the issue or Dua’a or raising the hands during the Dua’a; that the Salaf, the Companions, and the people of knowledge would supplicate before the Salaam. Thus as it relates to the issue of raising the hands after the prayer, is this for the obligatory prayers and the supererogatory prayers likewise, is it better for the person to raise his hands or not?

🔰Shaykh Uthaymeen:

May Allah bless you. Firstly; do not ask about raising the hands after the prayer. Ask about Dua’a after the prayer. Is it legislated or not? We say: It is not legislated; because Allah said:

فَإِذَا قَضَيْتُمُ الصَّلاةَ فَاذْكُرُوا اللَّهَ

"And when you have completed the prayer, remember Allah" (Soorah An Nisa 4:103)

He did not say: ‘Supplicate.’ Therefore the place for Dua’a is not after the prayer. The place for Dua’a is before the Salaam (before the Salaam to exit the prayer).

📚 The Prophet صلى الله عليه وعلى آله وسلم used to teach his companions the tashahhud, and he said: ‘Then after it (the tashahhud), supplicate as you like’. Thus he made the place for Dua’a before the Salaam.

And he advised Muadh رضي الله عنه to say after the final tashahhud before the Salaam:

اللَّهُمَّ أَعِنِّي عَلَى ذِكْرِكَ وَشُكْرِكِ وَحُسْنِ عِبَادَتِكِ

“O Allah, help me in remembering You, in giving You thanks, and worshipping You well.”
(Collected by Abu Dawud 1522)

And this is a Dua’a. And this is necessitated by the intent, because as long as the person is praying he is conversing with Allah, and when he leaves the prayer the conversation ends. So is it more befitting to supplicate while you are conversing with Allah or after you have left the conversation? The first is more befitting (to supplicate while you are conversing with Allah). And there is no difference whether it is the obligatory prayers or the supererogatory prayers.

Abu Huraira reported: The Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, said, “A man is upon the religion of his best friend, so let one of you look at whom he befriends.”

Sunan Abu Dawud 4833

عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ صلى الله عليه وسلم قَالَ‏ الرَّجُلُ عَلَى دِينِ خَلِيلِهِ فَلْيَنْظُرْ أَحَدُكُمْ مَنْ يُخَالِلُ

4833 سنن أبي داود كِتَاب الْأَدَبِ الرجل على دين خليله فلينظر أحدكم من يخالل

المحدث النووي خلاصة حكم المحدث إسناده صحيح

The question is not how much you love Allaah...for even the one who - does not pray or follow the Sunnah or care for the Halaal & Haraam - claims that he loves Allaah.

The real question is: Does Allaah love you?

This can only be answered by DOING what Allaah loves. As He تعالى said that He loves (some examples):

- the Tawwaabeen (those who repent).
- the Mutatahhireen (those who purify themselves).
- the Muhsineen (the good-doers).
- the Muttaqeen (the pious).
- the Mutawakkileen (those who put their trust in Him).
- the Muqsiteen (those who deal with equity).

And shunning that which He تعالى does NOT love:
-the Kaafireen (the disbelievers).
-the Mu`tadeen (the transgressors).
-the Dhaalimeen (the wrong-doers).
-the Mukhtaalin Fakhoor (the proud and boastful).
-the Mufsideen (the mischief-makers).
-the khaaineen (the treacherous).

Allaah make us of those whom He تعالى loves and does not make us of those whom He تعالى hates.

✒ Beware Of Oppressing A Soul

قال رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم : الظلم ثلاثة : فظلم لا يغفره الله ، وظلم يغفره ، وظلم لا يتركه ؛ فأما الظلم الذي لا يغفره الله فالشرك ، قال الله : إن الشرك لظلم عظيم ، وأما الظلم الذي يغفره فظلم العباد أنفسهم فيما بينهم وبين ربهم ، وأما الظلم الذي لا يتركه الله فظلم العباد بعضهم بعضاً حتى يدير لبعضهم من بعض

The Messenger of Allāh Ṣallallāhu-'Alaihi Wa Sallam said: “Oppression is of three types:

• Oppression that Allāh does not forgive
• Oppression that He forgives
• Oppression that He holds off from

So as for oppression which Allāh does not forgive then it is Shirk (polytheism), Allāh says: 'Verily, ash-Shirk (joining others with Allāh in worship) is a great oppression.' • [al-Qur’ān 31:13],

And as for oppression which He forgives then it is the oppression of slaves upon themselves in what is between them and their Lord (i.e any sin less than major Shirk),

And as for oppression which Allāh holds off from then it is the oppression of slaves upon each other UNTIL it is settled between themselves (i.e until the oppressed one is compensated).”

🔷 From Muhammad bin Aslam - rahimahullaah - (d. 242 AH) that he said:

"What is there for me in this creation? I was alone in the back-bone of my father. Then i was alone in the womb of my mother. Then I entered this world alone. Then my soul will be taken alone, and I would be laid into my grave alone. Then Nakeer and Munkar (two angels) will come to me in my grave, to question me alone. If I reached goodness, I reach it alone, and if I reached evil, then also I would be alone. Then I would stand infront of Allaah, all alone. Then my (good) actions and sins, both will be put in the scale; mine alone. If I am sent to the Paradise, I am sent alone. And if I am sent to the Hell, I am sent alone. So, what is there for me in the people? "

Advice for women who busy themselves with social media - Shaikh Ubaid al-Jaabiri
Question: This is from some women who want you to advise women who busy themselves with social media platforms like Facebook and WhatsApp and abandon the rights of their husbands?

Answer: This is treachery, playing with the rights of her husband. It is an obligation upon the women to preserve her husband's wealth and children. To help him with the cultivation of their children, and busy herself while in the house with things which will bring her benefit; from recitation of the Quran, and what ever she finds easy to read from the beneficial books, to pray the non obligatory prayers if she has the ability to do so, and do not busy herself with things which prevent her from fulfilling the rights of her husband. This is oppression. If the affair has reached that she delays doing benefits for her husband or negates them in totality this is oppression, and clear opposition to the statement of the prophet ‎ﷺ‎ "The women is the Shepard of her husbands house or money and children". And the Muslim women must be aware of another statement "If Allah appoints you ruler over a people and he dies while being treacherous to them, Allah will forbid him to enter the paradise". So, let the Muslim women fear her Lord and preserve the right of her husband because that is from what Allah made obligatory upon her.

Also what does she benefit from spending long hours on these platforms? Wasting time, and time oh my daughters is either for you or against you. Therefore, be diligent in that what is for you and don't waste it so it will reflect into your right and be against you and taken into account.

Six Best Traits In A Woman...

“If six mannerisms are gathered in a woman, her goodness is perfected: Guarding the five prayers, Yielding to her husband, Pleasing her Lord, Guarding her tongue from backbiting and gossip, Forsaking worldly possessions, and Being patient following a tragedy.”

(Siyar ‘A'lam al Nubala’ of Imaam ad-Dhahabi (rahimahullah)]

And when a person commits a sin it’s due to a decrease of his worship of Allah

Reciting Surah al Ikhlaas, Falaq and Naas after Fard Salah is a cause of being healthy, safe, cured from all disease & the reward of reciting a third of the Qur'an

Shaykh Abdul-Aziz ibn Abdullah ibn Baz (‏ (رحمه اللهon Surah Al-Ikhlas and Al-Muawwidhatayn (Surahs Al-Falaq and Al-Nas)

Our eminent Shaykh emphasized that Allah (Glorified and Exalted be He) ordained that every male and female Muslim is to recite Surah (Qur'anic chapter) Al-Ikhlas and Al-Mu`awwidhatayn (Surahs Al-Falaq and Al-Nas) after performing every obligatory Salah. He continued that doing so is one of the causes of being healthy, safe, and cure from all diseases. In addition, the reward that a person receives for reciting Surah Al-Ikhlas equals that which they receive for reciting one third of the Qur'an.

There is no particular dua to be Recited on completing the Quran (Khatam)

Shaykh Ibn Baaz (may Allaah have mercy on him) was asked:
Is there a specific du’aa’ for completing the Qur’aan?

He said:

There is no evidence that there is a specific du’aa’ for this as far as I know. Hence it is permissible for a person to make du’aa’ as he wishes and to choose beneficial supplications such as praying to be forgiven, to be granted Paradise and to be saved from Hell, seeking refuge with Allaah from fitnah (temptation, tribulation), asking for help to understand the Qur’aan in the manner that Allaah is pleased with and to act upon it and memorize it, etc., because it was proven that Anas (may Allaah be pleased with him) used to gather his family when he completed the Qur’aan and make du’aa’.
