#NEW | Can Zakat ul-Fitr Be Paid in Cash? | (28) Ramadān 1445 Q&A
Forwarded from Lanterns of Tawheed
Mistakes have piled,
into mountains they’ve grown,
heart was always hard,
but now it’s pure stone.
I’ve felt shame before,
but this one is like no other,
crippling in lowliness,
on the night of Al-Qadr
How bold could a slave be,
to raise his hands and request
an abode by the the Throne,
while never put to the test?
By what virtue do I raise these hands,
when they carry only my sins?
and I beseech His salvation,
without action of my limbs?
“Mercy! Just your Mercy!”
What else should I speak,
while it is the key to Your Gardens,
which I desperately seek?

💔 29th Ramadan...
How swiftly has the month gone.
What have we achieved so far?
Did we better ourselves or did we succumb more into the sins and darkness?
One more night and day (bi-idhnillah) to chase after purification and the love of Allah..
May Allah grant us tawfiq in achieving in His Pardon, Forgiveness and Mercy.

Ibn al-Qayyim رحمه الله said:
“Between the eyes and the heart there is a connection which means that the one is affected by the other, and if one of them becomes good, the other will also become good, and if one becomes corrupt the other will become corrupt. If the heart becomes corrupt the gaze will become corrupt, and if the gaze become corrupt the heart will become corrupt, and similarly if one is sound the other will also be sound.”
[Al-Jawaab al-Kaafee of Ibn al-Qayyim | Pg. 125]

Is it permissible not to celebrate Eid, out of sorrow for what is happening to the Muslims in Palestine and elsewhere?
04-07-2016
We know that killing is happening on a wide scale today in the land of Palestine, and Muslims in the rest of the world are torn between sorrow and being unable to help. My question is: is it permissible for the Muslims not to celebrate Eid because of what is happening of tragedies in Palestine, especially if the Muslim feels grief and sorrow because of that?
Answer
Praise be to Allah
The Eids of the Muslims have not been prescribed only for the purpose of joy, fun and visiting one another; rather they are among the symbols and acts of worship of the religion, so the Sunnah on these occasions is for the Muslims to celebrate them openly and proclaim them.
Shaykh al-Islam Ibn Taymiyah (may Allah have mercy on him) said:
The Eids are among the most specific distinguishing features of different religions, and among the most obvious of their rituals.
End quote from Iqtida’ as-Siraat al-Mustaqeem (1/528)
Hence you will find that every religion has its own festivals that its followers care about and celebrate openly, because they are an important part of their religion.
Al-Haafiz Ibn Hajar (may Allah have mercy on him) said:
Expressing joy on the occasion of the Eids is one of the symbols of the religion.
End quote from Fath al-Baari (2/443)
So expressing joy on Eid is one of the acts of worship by which the Muslim draws closer to Allah.
Moreover, there is no contradiction between expressing joy on Eid and feeling sorrow for what has befallen the Muslims and grieving for their situation. The Muslim expresses his joy on Eid in order to show his religious commitment openly and to show his support for his religion and at the same time he shares the sorrows of the Muslims.
So the Muslim should combine both matters: he should practice the rituals and acts of worship of Islam openly, such as the Eid prayer, and he should express some measure of joy and happiness. And at the same time he should feel sorrow for what has befallen his brethren, and he should feel their pain.
Undoubtedly the more the Muslim feels the pain and anguish of his Muslim brothers, the less he will indulge in permissible kinds of entertainment and play, even if he allows himself expressions of joy on Eid and gratitude for the blessings that Allah has bestowed upon him.
And Allah knows best.
