💠Which is best; reciting Quran slowly with reflection upon its meanings, or reciting much of it quickly?💠

Imam ibnul Qayyim said:
"and the truth regarding this matter is to be said that the reward of the recitation of tarteel and reflection, is nobler and higher in rank, and the reward of much reciting is more in number.
🔹The first, is like giving a great jewel as sadaqa or setting free a slave of a very high cost.
🔹And the second, is like giving a big number of dirhams as sadaqa or setting free a number of slaves of a cheap cost."
(Zadul Ma'ad 1/327)

وَالصَّوَابُ فِي الْمَسْأَلَةِ أَنْ يُقَالَ: إِنَّ ثَوَابَ قِرَاءَةِ التَّرْتِيلِ وَالتَّدَبُّرِ أَجَلُّ وَأَرْفَعُ قَدَرًا، وَثَوَابَ كَثْرَةِ الْقِرَاءَةِ أَكْثَرُ عَدَدًا،
🔹 فَالْأَوَّلُ: كَمَنْ تَصَدَّقَ بِجَوْهَرَةٍ عَظِيمَةٍ، أَوْ أَعْتَقَ عَبْدًا قِيمَتُهُ نَفِيسَةٌ جِدًّا،
🔹وَالثَّانِي: كَمَنْ تَصَدَّقَ بِعَدَدٍ كَثِيرٍ مِنَ الدَّرَاهِمِ، أَوْ أَعْتَقَ عَدَدًا مِنَ الْعَبِيدِ قِيمَتُهُمْ رَخِيصَةٌ.

🎏 *Three Ameens – Hadith*

🍁Kaab Ibn Ujrah (radhi Allaahu anhu) relates that Rasulullah (ﷺ) said Come near to the mimbar and we came near the mimbar. When He (ﷺ) climbed the first step of the mimbar, He (ﷺ) said “Aameen”, When He (ﷺ) ascended the second step, He (ﷺ) said “Aameen”, When He (ﷺ) climbed the third step, He (ﷺ) said “Aameen” When He (ﷺ) came down, We said “O Rasool of Allah (ﷺ), we have heard from you today something which we never heard before” He (ﷺ) said When I climbed the first step, the angel Jibraeel (alaihi as-salam) appeared before me and said

💬“Destruction to him who found the blessed month of Ramdhan and let it pass by without gaining forgiveness”

upon that
🗯I said ‘Aameen’. When I climbed the second step, he said,

💬“Destruction to him before whom thy name is taken and then he does not make Dua for Allah’s blessing on me (by saying, for example , Sallallaahu alaihi wa sallam).”

🗯I replied ‘Aameen’. When I climbed the third step, he said

💬“Destruction unto him in whose lifetime his parents or either one of them reaches old age, and (through failure to serve them) he is not allowed to enter Jannah”.

🗯I said ‘Aameen’. (Hakim, Baihaqi)

📚Note In this Hadith, it appears that Jibraeel (alaihi as-salam) gave expression to three curses, upon which Rasulullah (ﷺ) said Aameen every time. In al-Durr al-Mansoor it is reported that Jibraeel (alaihi as-salam) advised Rasulullah (ﷺ) to say Aameen. Being an angel of such high mark, Jibraeel ‘s giving these curses is sure to be accepted. May Allah (Subhanahu wa Taala) in His infinite mercy grant us His help and save us from these three dangers.

🌙MAY ALLAH GRANT US SUCCESS IN BOTH WORLDS. AMEEN.

Kindness and Gentleness

It was narrated that ‘Aa’ishah, the wife of the Prophet (sallallahu 'alayhi wasallam) said: The Messenger of Allah (sallallahu 'alayhi wasallam) said: “Verily Allah loves kindness in all things.” [Bukhaari, 6024]

Narrated from Jareer that the Prophet (sallallahu 'alayhi wasallam) said: “Whoever is deprived of kindness is deprived of goodness.” [Muslim, 2592]

It was narrated from ‘Aa’ishah that she said: The Messenger of Allah (sallallahu 'alayhi wasallam) said: “When Allah wills good for the members of a HOUSEHOLD, He instills kindness in them.”

[Narrated by Imam Ahmad in his Musnad, 40/488, no. 24427; classed as saheeh by al-Albaani in Saheeh al-Jaami‘ as-Sagheer, no. 303]

Shaikh Ibn al-`Uthaymeen on the 3 issues related with the congregation

The three matters related with joining the congregation and the mistakes which the people make:

1) Offering the Sunnah Prayer while the Iqaamah has been made

2) Delaying joining the congregation till the Imaam is in Rukoo`

3) Not attending the first rows

https://safeshare.tv/x/TEZLumEvTSE

➖ The (women) should leave the masjid immediately after the Imaam concludes the prayer. They should not delay except for a valid excuse. This is what the pious predecessors used to do as it is mentioned in the narration of Umm Salamah (bint Abi Umayah) (radiyallahu anhaa):

➖ "The Women during the time of the Prophet (sallallaahu alayhi wa sallam) used to leave the masjid immediately after the Prophet (sallallaahu alayhi wa sallam) said the salaam, and the Prophet (sallallaahu alayhi wa sallam) would remain at his position for a while before leaving."

She said "Allah knows best, but l think the Prophet did that in order to allow time for the women to depart before the men reach them."
(Collected by Al-Bukhari)

The Messenger of Allaah [ﷺ] said:

«لو يعلم الناس في الوحدة ما أعلم، ما سار راكب بليل وحده [أبداً]»

❝If the people knew what I know about being alone, no one would ever travel alone at night.❞

[Silsilah al-Ahaadeeth as-Saheehah of al-Albaanee, (1/130, No. 61) | Translated By Abū Ruqayyah 'Abd us-Samad]

Translator's Note:

I asked Shaykh Badr bin Muhammad al-Badr [حفظه الله]:

❝The Hadeeth: ‘If the people knew what I know about being alone, no one would ever travel alone at night.’

Is this action [i.e. travelling alone at night] Haraam?❞

The Shaykh said:

❝It is disliked [i.e. Makrooh].❞

Dua - Upon entering a town or village


اللَّهُمَّ رَبَّ السَّمَوَاتِ السَّبْعِ وَمَا أَظْلَلْنَ، وَرَبَّ الأَرَضِينَ السَّبْعِ وَمَا أَقْلَلْنَ، وَرَبَّ الشَّياطِينِ وَمَا أَضْلَلْنَ، وَرَبَّ الرِّيَاحِ وَمَا ذَرَيْنَ، أَسْأَلُكَ خَيْرَ هَذِهِ الْقَرْيَةِ، وَخَيْرَ أَهْلِهَا، وَخَيْرَ مَا فِيهَا، وَأَعُوذُ بِكَ مِنْ شَرِّهَا، وَشَرِّ أَهْلِهَا، وَشَرِّ مَا فِيهَا

O Allah, Lord of the seven heavens and all they overshadow, Lord of the seven worlds and all they uphold, Lord of the devils and all they lead astray, Lord of the winds and all they scatter. I ask You for the goodness of this town and for the goodness of its people, and for the goodness it contains. I seek refuge in You from its evil, from the evil of its people and from the evil it contains.

Allaahumma Rabbas-samaawaatis-sab'i wa maa 'adhlalna, wa Rabbal-'aradheenas-sab'i wa maa 'aqlalna, wa Rabbash-shayaateeni wa maa 'adhlalna, wa Rabbar-riyaahi wa maa tharayna. 'As'aluka khayra haathihil-qaryati wa khayra 'ahlihaa, wa khayra maafeehaa, wa 'a'oothu bika min sharrihaa, wa sharri 'ahlihaa, wa shard maa feehaa.

Al-Hakim who graded it authentic and Ath-Tfaahabi agreed 2/100, and Ibn As-Sunni (no. 524). Al-Hafidh graded it good in his checking of Al-'Athkdr 5/154. Ibn Baz said in Tuhfatul-'Akhydr p. 37, that An-Nasa'i recorded it with a good chain of narration.

ADDING A RAKAH TO THE WITR PRAYER – SHAYKH AL-UTHAYMEEN

Written by Abu Aa'isha Amjad on July 18, 2014. Posted in Articles, Fatawa-Rulings, Islamic Jurisprudence - 'Fiqh', Ramadhan, Salaah - Prayer, Worship - 'Ibaadah'

بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم

Shaykh Uthaymeen states:

He follows the Imam in the witr and makes it even by adding a rakah, so that he can perform his witr in the last part of the night. Therefore when he follows the Imam and the Imam gives the salaams for the Witr, he stands and performs another rakah and then gives salaams, so he has prayed 2 rakahs, meaning he has not prayed witr. Then when he prays in the last part of the night, he performs his witr after his night prayer. By doing so he has gained the reward of following the imam until he departed, and he has also gained reward for praying witr in the last part of the night, and this is a good action.

 

So if it is said:

How have you made it permissible for the person praying behind the Imam to oppose him by increasing upon that which his Imam prayed, whilst the Messenger of Allah –sallallaahu alaihi wa sallam- said:

‘’ The imam is appointed to be followed’’ (1)

Our evidence for this is when the messenger of Allah –sallallaahu alaihi wa sallam- prayed with the people of Makkah, in the conquest of Makkah, he prayed two rakah with them and said:

“Oh people of Makkah complete (your prayer) for indeed we are a travelling people.” (2)

So they intended to pray four rakah, whilst the Messenger –sallallaahu alaihi wa sallam- intended two, so when he gave salaams after two, they stood up and completed four. And this is (like) the one who enters the prayer with the Imam in witr but he doesn’t intend witr, he only intends to pray two, so when the imam gives salaams, the person stands and performs a second rakah, and this is a clear deduction and there is no problem with it.

And if it is said “is this not opposing his statement –sallallaahu alaihi wa sallam-

“Whoever stands (and prays) with the Imam untilhe finishes, it will be recorded as if he spent the night in prayer.” (3)

We say no it does not oppose it, because the Prophet- sallallaahu alaihi wa sallam- did not say whoever stands with the Imam then finishes WITH HIM, it will be recorded as if he spent the whole night in prayer. So what is required to attain the reward is praying with the Imam until the Imam finishes, and whoever increases after the Imam has finished, then he has most certainly prayed with him until he finished.
