FASTING HAS THREE STAGES

مراتب الصوم

قال الإمام ابن قدامة الحنبلي رحمه الله جل وعلا في كتابه “مختصر منهاج القاصدين” (ص: 44) :
الصوم ثلاث مراتب:
صوم العموم، وصوم الخصوص، وصوم خصوص الخصوص.
Imām Ibn Qudāmah ‘al-Ḥanbalī رحمه الله تعالى said:
❝ Fasting has three stages: ❞
❝ General fasting, special fasting, special of the special fasting. ❞
فأما صوم العموم فهو: كف البطن والفرج عن قضاء الشهوة.
1⃣❝ As for general fasting, it is: abstaining the stomach and private parts from carrying out desire. ❞
وأما صوم الخصوص: فهو كف النظر، واللسان، واليد، والرجل، والسمع، والبصر، وسائر الجوارح عن الآثام.

2⃣❝ As for special fasting: it is abstaining the eyes, the tongue, the hands, the feet, the hearing, the eyesight, and all other body parts/senses from sins. ❞
وأما صوم خصوص الخصوص: فهو صوم القلب عن الهمم الدنيئة، والأفكار المبعدة عن الله تعالى، وكفه عما سوى الله تعالى بالكلية.

3⃣❝ As for the special of the special form of fasting: it is the fasting of the heart from wickedness, isolated thoughts away from Allāh تعالى {thinking about other than Allāh}, and abstaining the heart from everything except Allāh تعالى in its totality. ❞

☄ Hanging verses of the Qur’an on walls

Question 434

What is the ruling of hanging the verses of the Qur’an on the walls as seen nowadays?

Answer:

The Permanent Committee for Scholarly Research and Ifta’  was asked a similar question. They answered –

Firstly,

Allah (Exalted be He) has revealed the Qur’an as admonition and a healing for the ills of the hearts, and as guidance and mercy for the believers, and also to be a proof against mankind, leaving no excuse for disbelief. The Qur’an is the source of light and insight to those whom Allah has opened their hearts to it, who recite it, worship Allah through it, contemplate its meanings, learn from it the laws of belief, acts of worship and Islamic dealings, and adhere to it in all affairs.

The Qur’an has not been revealed to be hung on walls as decoration, or to be used as amulets and periapts in homes, stores, etc. For protection from fire, theft and similar mistaken beliefs held by some common people, especially those who follow Bid‘ahs (innovations in religion), and they are many now.

Thus, if a person uses the Qur’an for the purposes it was revealed for, then they are acting on clear evidence from their Lord, following guidance, and have insight. On the other hand, if a person writes Ayahs on tapestries, for example, to be used as wall decorations or amulets to protect the household, the furniture, or any other belongings, then they have used the Qur’an, its Ayahs, or Surahs in a wrong way and have deviated from the Straight Path.

Moreover, they have introduced into the religion acts that were not permitted by either Allah or His Messenger (peace be upon him), in his words or actions. This was not practiced by the Rightly-Guided Caliphs, the rest of the Sahabah (Companions of the Prophet – may Allah be pleased with them), or the Imams of guidance during the first three Muslim generations, which the Prophet (peace be upon him) described as the best of all generations.

Furthermore, the owners of such tapestries may subject the Ayahs or Surahs to humiliation, for example, if they move to another house and pile them among other furniture, or throw them away if they become worn out. All of this is not permissible. Muslims must preserve the Qur’an and its Ayahs, safeguard its sanctity, and do not subject it to any possible desecration.

Comforts & Luxuries

Sheikh Muhammad ibn Salih al-Uthaimeen رحمه الله تعالى said:


"The more people increase in comfort and luxury and the more they open up before the people [with the Dunya], the more evils will open up before them. It is comfort and luxury that destroys a person. Because if a person was to concern himself with comfort and luxury and providing enjoyment to his body, he will become negligent of providing enjoyment to his heart, and his greatest worry will become providing enjoyment to this body that is doomed to become worms and rotten.


This is the ordeal, and this is what has harmed people today. You can hardly find anyone except that they say: "What is our palace? What is our car? What is our furniture? What is our food?" Even those who study [Islaamic] knowledge, some of them only study in order to gain rank or status to reach the blessings of the Dunya. As if man was not created for a significant purpose. The Dunya and its blessings are only a means, nothing more. We ask Allaah to make us and you use it as a means.


Ibn Taymiyyah رحمه الله تعالى said:

"A person should use money as he uses a donkey to ride, and as he uses the toilet to relieve himself."


These are the ones who know money and its value. So do not make money your greatest worry, rather ride on money, for if you do not ride on it, it will ride on you, and your worry will become the Dunya.


For this, we say, that the more the Dunya opens up before the people, and they end up concerning themselves with it, they will lose as much of the Akhira as they have gained from the Dunya.


The Prophet صلى الله عليه و سلم said:

"By Allaah, I am not afraid of your poverty," meaning I am not afraid of poverty for you, for the Dunya will open up before you, "but I am afraid that you will lead a life of luxury as past nations did, whereupon you will compete with each other for it, as they competed for it, and it will destroy you as it destroyed them."

[Bukhari & Muslim].


The Messenger صلى الله عليه و سلم spoke the truth. This is what has destroyed the people today. What has destroyed the people today, is their competing with one another for the Dunya, and them being as if they were only created for it, and not it created for them. So they have preoccupied themselves with what was created for them over what they were created for. This is backwardness. We ask Allaah for protection."

[Chapter 10: Hastening to do Good Deeds, Hadeeth #92].

Have you recited the Qur'aan today?

Imaam an-Nawawi رحمه الله said:

“Reciting the Qur'aan is the most important of adhkar, which should be done regularly. No day or night should be without reciting and it may be attained by reciting a few verses.”

[كتبا الأذكـار للنـووي ١٢٢٥/٢]


Ibn Jawzi رحمه الله said: 

“The one who has a Mushaf must recite it every day of whatever is easy for him, lest he be from those who have forsaken the Qur’aan.“

[الآداب الشرعية ٢\٣٠٠]



Ibn Abbas رضي اللّه عنـه said:

“Allaah took responsibility for who reads the Qur'aan & ACTS ON what is in it; he won’t go astray in this life nor despair in the Hereafter."

[مفتاح دار السعادة ٥٨/١]

Ibn Mas'ood رضي اللّه عنـه said:

“Qur’aan is the Speech of Allaah, un-created, so indeed whoever loves Qur’aan then he loves Allaah.”

[فقه الأدعية والأذكار ج١ ص٦٦]

May Allah سبحانه وتعالى save us from nifaq...

Abdullah bin Al-Mu’taz said:
“The knowledge of a hypocrite is in his speech, while the knowledge of a believer is in his actions.”

[Iqtidaa-u al’ilmi al’amal, 38]

Reputation

Imam Bukhari(rahimahullaah) traveled to meet a man in order to take hadeeth from him. But *he saw this man calling his horse with an empty vessel in his hand, as if there was food in that vessel,* moving it in order for the horse to come near so he can grab the horse. So Imam Bukahri asked him, “What is in that vessel?” And the man said, “Nothing.” Then Imam Bukhari said, *“By Allaah, I will not take hadeeth from you, because you are a liar.”*

Soorah Ikhlaas & Kafiroon

Ibn al-Qayyim -Rahimahullaah- said:

‘I heard Shaykh ul-Islaam Ibn Taymeeyah saying:
‘The Sunnah of Fajr follows the path of the first of the actions [of the day] and the Witr prayer is the seal.

This is why the Prophet -sallAllaahu alayhi wa sallam- used to pray the Sunnah of Fajr and the Witr with the Two Soorahs of Ikhlaas [Soorah Ikhlaas and Kafiroon]

These two Soorahs are comprehensive of Tawheed of knowledge and action, and Tawheed of knowing about Allaah [Rooboobeeyah & Asmaa wa Sifaat] and intention [worship] and Tawheed of Belief and intent of worship for Allaah [Eelaheeyah].

📲 "Islamic" Text Messages Requesting you to Forward to All Your Contacts Otherwise the Message Threatens a Punishment will Befall You?

👤 Shaikh Salih al-Fawzan حفظه الله

📲 "...They send messages saying "Do such & such it's Sunnah, pray such & such, fast such & such", they encourage people and say whoever does it will get such and such a reward, and the one who ignores it will be overcome by punishment and threat of evil is upon him. They attach all types of (fantastical made up) threats and punishments a person who ignores the message can expect!

⚠️ So be warned from them! Do not accept anything from them (do not spread and forward such baseless messages). Do not accept anything without proof from the Qur'an and Sunnah.

❌ (Often) they mention fabricated narrations, or they themselves fabricate narrations on such forwards!"
