Question:

May Allah be good to you, this questioner says: Assalaamu akaykum wa rahmatullaahi wa barakaatuhu, some callers put forward a principle, they say that indeed it (brings about) unity: “We unite upon that which we agree and pardon each other in that which we disagree in.”

Answer:

If this agreement is (already) in Aqeedah, then yes (we can excuse each other in other issues besides Aqeedah) as differing may occur in the subsidiary issues. The Mujtahid’s (ijtihaad) is taken when he’s correct and (the ijtihad) is abandoned if he opposes what is correct. So if there is agreement on the Aqeedah and the differing is only in Fiqh and subsidiary issues then (this affair is looked at from another) an angle. [1]

However if this differing is in Aqeedah, then upon what can we agree?! We cannot agree on anything. This is what they want apparently (i.e. excuse one another in Aqeedah issues) and this is not permissible. [2]

[1] Righteous Actions: Recitation of the Qur’aan after finishing my work

Written by Abdullah Jallow on . Posted in Purification of The Soul, Qur'aan, Scholars of Islam, Worship - 'Ibaadah'.

Question:

The questioner says: I work as an accountant in one of the companies and I have a lot of free time during which I read the Qur’aan and listen to the Noble Qur’aan Broadcast. However, when my boss arrives I close the Mushaf. So what is the ruling on this action (of mine)? Benefit us with an answer and may Allaah reward you.

Answer:

If it is the case that you have carried out your work perfectly and fulfil everything your boss requires of you without delay, then it is permissible for you to read the Qur’aan and beneficial books, and listen to the Noble Qur’aan Broadcast in your free time. Rather benefitting from this (free) time in such activities is better than wasting it in that which does not benefit.

[1] The Messenger (sallal-laahu-alayhi-wasallam) is from humankind!

Written by Masjid Furqan on . Posted in Belief - 'Aqeedah', Calling To Islam - 'Da'wa', Purification of The Soul, Scholars of Islam.

Shaikh Rabee Bin Haadi (may Allaah preserve him) said:

Allaah (The Most High) said:

لَقَدْ مَنَّ اللَّهُ عَلَى الْمُؤْمِنِينَ إِذْ بَعَثَ فِيهِمْ رَسُولًا مِّنْ أَنفُسِهِمْ يَتْلُو عَلَيْهِمْ آيَاتِهِ وَيُزَكِّيهِمْ وَيُعَلِّمُهُمُ الْكِتَابَ وَالْحِكْمَةَ وَإِن كَانُوا مِن قَبْلُ لَفِي ضَلَالٍ مُّبِينٍ

Indeed Allah conferred a great favour on the believers when He sent among them a Messenger (Muhammad) from among themselves, reciting unto them His Verses (the Qur’an), and purifying them (from sins by their following him), and instructing them (in) the Book (the Qur’an) and Al-Hikmah [the wisdom and the Sunnah of the Prophet (i.e. his legal ways, statements, acts of worship, etc.)], while before that they had been in manifest error. [3:164]

The Ayah is a proof that indeed the Messenger (sallal-laahu-alayhi-wasallam) is from the believers.

[1] The Mufassiroon said: The intended meaning of مِّنْ أَنفُسِهِمْ – Among them’ is that he is indeed from the Arabs.

[2] Other (Mufassiroon) said: The intended meaning of (this ayah) is that he [i.e. the Messenger (sallal-laahu-alahi-wasallam)] is a human being.

In the first explanation of the above Ayah, the great favour conferred on them is that they understand the Messenger and he understands them, and they do not require a translator. In the second explanation of the above Ayah, the great favour conferred on them is that they socialize with him just as humans socialize with one another.

[3] [Issues Related to Correcting the Imaam When He Makes a Mistake in His Recitation]: If the Imaam makes a mistake and no one corrects him

Written by Masjid Furqan on . Posted in Calling To Islam - 'Da'wa', Fatawa-Rulings, Scholars of Islam, Seeking Knowledge, Worship - 'Ibaadah'.

If the Imam makes a Mistake in Recitation and no One corrects Him
Question:

If the Imam recites what is easy for him in the prayer and then he forgot the words of a Verse… and no one among the worshippers was able to correct him, should he make the Takbir and end the Rakah, or should he recite another Surah?
Answer:

He is free to choose, if he wishes, he may make the Takbir and end the Rakah, or, if he prefers, he may recite a Verse or Verses from another Surah according to what the pure Sunnah requires of him in the prayer in which he is reciting – if it (i.e. the mistake) is in other than Surah Al-Fatihah. As for Al-Fatihah, he must recite all of it, because its recitation is one of the pillars of the prayer. And Allaah is the Granter of success.

[2] Issues Related to Correcting the Imaam When He Makes a Mistake in His Recitation: The Imaam Who Recites Soorah Al-Faatihah incorrectly

Written by Masjid Furqan on . Posted in Calling To Islam - 'Da'wa', Scholars of Islam, Seeking Knowledge, Worship - 'Ibaadah'.

Question to Imaam Albaani (rahimahullaah):

What is the ruling on praying behind the one who ‘Yalhana (makes an incorrect pronunciation) in Soorah Al-Faatiha and substituting [الصِّرَاط الْمُسْتَقِيم (As-Siraatal Mustaqeem)] to [الصراط المستكيم (As-Siraatal Muatakeem)?]

Answer:

Yes; if you are facilitated with someone who is better and better in recitation than him, then be with him (i.e. pray behind him). But if you are not facilitated with (someone else), then your Salaah behind him is sound and the burden of his lahn (i.e. incorrect pronunciation) is upon him (i.e. not your fault but his), due to the statement of the [Messenger (sallal-laahu-alayhi-wasallam)] regarding the Imaams: ”They lead you in prayer; so if they (lead the prayer) correctly, then the (reward) is for you and them. And if they are mistaken, the (reward) is for you and the (blame) is on them.”

 “It Is Better To Pray In The Salafi Masjid?” by Shaykh Muqbil bin Haadee al-Waadi’ee

 

Question:

There is a Masjid near us whose Imaam is an Ikhwaanee who has with him oppositions to the Sharee?ah and when we pray in this Masjid they ridicule us and flee from us, so should we remain calling in this Masjid whilst in the presence of this harm, considering that the Salafi Masjid is far away?

Answer:

If you are able to go to the Salafi Masjid then I advise you with that and you will gain benefit in performing your prayer in accordance to the Sunnah of the Messenger of Allaah and also that you will benefit from tranquil affability with your brothers and much virtue and moral excellence. For indeed there is a Hadeeth in Saheeh Muslim on the authority of Jaabir Bin ?Abdullaah, who said:

ÎóáóÊú þ þÇáúÈöÞóÇÚõ þ þÍóæúáó ÇáúãóÓúÌöÏö ÝóÃóÑóÇÏó þ þÈóäõæ ÓóáöãóÉó þ þÃóäú íóäúÊóÞöáõæÇ Åöáóì ÞõÑúÈö ÇáúãóÓúÌöÏö ÝóÈóáóÛó Ðóáößó ÑóÓõæáó Çááøóåö þ þÕóáøóì Çááøóåõ Úóáóíúåö æóÓóáøóãó þ þÝóÞóÇáó áóåõãú þ þÅöäøóåõ ÈóáóÛóäöí Ãóäøóßõãú ÊõÑöíÏõæäó Ãóäú ÊóäúÊóÞöáõæÇ ÞõÑúÈó ÇáúãóÓúÌöÏö ÞóÇáõæÇ äóÚóãú íóÇ ÑóÓõæáó Çááøóåö ÞóÏú ÃóÑóÏúäóÇ Ðóáößó ÝóÞóÇáó íóÇ þ þÈóäöí ÓóáöãóÉó þ þÏöíóÇÑóßõãú ÊõßúÊóÈú þ þÂËóÇÑõßõãú þ þÏöíóÇÑóßõãú ÊõßúÊóÈú þ þÂËóÇÑõßõãú þ

?Some plots of land became vacant around the Masjid therefore Banu Salimah decided to relocate near the Masjid. When the news of that reached the Messenger of Allaah (sallAllaahu alayhi wa sallam) he said to them:

?Indeed it has reached me that you intend to relocate near the Masjid?.

They said: ?Yes, O Messenger of Allaah that is what we have decided?. Thereupon he (the Prophet) said:

?O Banu Salimah, live in your houses, for your steps are recorded; live in your houses, for your steps are recorded?.?

Meaning: Stay in your houses which are far away from the Masjid so that your steps are recorded for you.

And in the Saheehayn (Sahih al-Bukharee and Saheeh al-Muslim) on the authority of Abu Hurairah (radiAllaahu ?anhu) that verily the Prophet of Allaah(sallAllaahu ‘alayhi wa sallam) said:

ÅöÐóÇ ÊóæóÖøóÃó ÝóÃóÍúÓóäó ÇáúæõÖõæÁó Ëõãøó ÎóÑóÌó Åöáóì ÇáúãóÓúÌöÏö áÇ íõÎúÑöÌõåõ ÅöáÇøó ÇáÕøóáÇÉõ áóãú íóÎúØõ ÎóØúæóÉð ÅöáÇøó ÑõÝöÚóÊú áóåõ ÈöåóÇ ÏóÑóÌóÉñ æóÍõØøó Úóäúåõ ÈöåóÇ ÎóØöíÆóÉñ ÝóÅöÐóÇ Õóáøóì áóãú ÊóÒóáú ÇáúãóáÇÆößóÉõ ÊõÕóáøöí Úóáóíúåö ãóÇ ÏóÇãó Ýöí ãõÕóáÇåõ Çááøóåõãøó Õóáøö Úóáóíúåö Çááøóåõãøó ÇÑúÍóãúåõ æóáÇ íóÒóÇáõ ÃóÍóÏõßõãú Ýöí ÕóáÇÉò ãóÇ ÇäúÊóÙóÑó ÇáÕøóáÇÉóþ

?He who performs ablution and purifies himself well, then leaves to go the Masjid and nothing causes him to go out except for the Prayer, he does not take a step except that it raises him in rank and a sin is removed from him. And if he prays the angels do not cease to pray for him, as long as he is at his Musalla (praying place): ?O Allaah, send prayers upon him, O Allaah, have mercy upon him?. And each one of you is regarded in prayer so long as he is waiting for the Prayer.?

Hence, if they are able to attend the Salafi Masjid this is a pleasant affair if not then I advise them to acquire/obtain a Masjid for themselves which is not over burdensome in expenditure for truly the Prophet (sallAllaahu alayhi wa sallam) says:

þ þãóÇ ÃõãöÑúÊõ ÈöÊóÔúíöíÏö ÇáúãóÓóÇÌöÏö

?I was not ordered with building lofty extravagant Masjids?.

And he also said:

þ þþáÇ ÊóÞõæãõ ÇáÓøóÇÚóÉõ ÍóÊøóì þþ íóÊóÈóÇåóì ÇáäøóÇÓõ Ýöí ÇáúãóÓóÇÌöÏö

?The Hour will not be established until the people vie with one another in boastfulness with regards to the Masjids?.

So the Sunnah is that the Masjid should be modest and simple. And if you are able to [construct] the Masjid, that it is like the Masjid of the Messenger of Allaah(sallAllaahu alayhi wa sallam) then do so, if you are not able to then do not overburden yourself and do not be lavish in building the Masjids for indeed it is opposes the Sunnah, likewise the adornments and the minarets. Also the likes of what they call al-Mihraab and that which they put up on the four corners of the Masjids and what they call ash-Shurufaat (balconies and terraces), this was not found in the Masjid of the Messenger of Allaah when he built it at that time and likewise the Mimbar which is elevated in excess of three steps.

Wa Laa Illaaha IllAllaah, for indeed there has not come to me a person regardless of whether he is from Eritrea or from Indonesia or from the Sudan and other than them from the Islamic countries except that he complains from the harms of Ikhwaan al-Mufliseen* (Brotherhood of the Bankrupt Ones) to the Ahlus-Sunnah. Then I say, to Allaah is the complaint, so they are ready to reconcile with the communist and with the Mulhid (atheist) and with the Secularist and with the Ba?thists, and with the Naasirites and with the Sufis and with the Shiites whilst they are not prepared to reconcile with the Sunni except when the time for elections draws near, indeed then they say:

?Be silent concerning us and we will remain silent concerning you?.

[1] Issues Related to Correcting the Imaam When He Makes a Mistake in His Recitation

Written by Masjid Furqan on . Posted in Fatawa-Rulings, Scholars of Islam, Seeking Knowledge, Worship - 'Ibaadah'.

Question to Imaam Muhammad Ibn Saaleh Al-Uthaymeen (rahimahullaah):

Is it obligated on the Ma’moon (i.e. those being led in prayer by the Imaam) to rectify the Imaam if he makes a mistake in his recitation?

Answer:

If the Imaam makes a mistake in the ‘Obligatory Recitation’ such as the recitation of (Surah) Faatihah, it obligated on the  Ma’moon (i.e. those praying behind him) to disclose that to him (i.e. by rectifying him). If the recitation is Mustahab (i.e. recommended), we contemplate (on the following): If he changed the meaning, it is then obligated on him to repeat it [i.e. rectifies the mistake when prompted by the Ma’moon or if he (himself) realizes that he made a mistake that changes the meaning]. And if he has not changed the meaning, it is not obligatory (i.e. to rectify him).

The Most Harmful Ones Amongst Ahlul Bidah- The Rawaafid and the Khawaarij

Written by Abdullah Jallow on . Posted in Brotherhood, Calling To Islam - 'Da'wa', Deviated Groups, Sects and Parties, Refutations, Scholars of Islam.

 

Al-Allaamah Rabee Bin Haadi Al-Madkhalee (may Allaah preserve him) said:

By Allaah, Islaam and the Muslims are not ruined except by these categories of (people) amongst the people of bidah and misguidance–the khawaarij (i.e. such as ISIS etc) and those similar to them, and those who are worse than them, such as the Rawaafid (i.e. Rawaafid Shiittes of Iran, Iraq and elsewhere).

The Rawaafid are worse than the khawaarij. And Ikhwaan al-Muslimoon (i.e. the Muslim brotherhood sect in Egypt and elsewhere) ally with them and say: “They (i.e. rawaafid) are our brothers; the differing between us and them is like the differing between (Imaam) Maalik and (Imaam) Shaafi’ee”- meaning: The differing between us (i.e. Ikhwaan al-Muslimoon) and them (i.e. rawaafid shiites) is based on ijtihaad, and if Imaam (Maalik) and (Imaam) Shafee’ee differ in (some) affairs, they are all rewarded; and if we (ikhwaan al-muslimoon) differ with the rawaafid shiites, then us and them are rewarded.

O deceivers! (i.e. Ikhwaanis) The rawaafid (shiites) revile the Sahaabah and declare them disbelievers; they revile the wives of the Messenger (sallal-laahu-alayhi-wasallaam); they say that the Qur’aan is distorted; they have shir’kiyyaat (beliefs and acts of polytheism) and they deify the leaders of the Prophet’s family.  So does all this not harm them (i.e. harm their claim to Islaam)? Is this not irjaa?! (i.e. O Ikhwaanis! Is this not Irjaa that you consider the differing between you and them to be similar to the differing between Imaams Maalik and Shaafi’ee)

Reminder to the noble brother and sisters at Masjid al-Fuqaan (Stoke): Arm yourselves with these clarifications in order to distance the people from the man of Bidah (Goldie) and His Staunch allies in your City

Written by Abdullah Jallow on . Posted in Announcements, Brotherhood, Calling To Islam - 'Da'wa', Deviated Callers & Individuals, Deviated Groups, Sects and Parties, Methodology - 'Manhaj', Scholars of Islam.

A Misunderstanding Regarding The Statement, ‘Laa Inkaar Fee Masaa’il Al-Khilaaf [There Should Be No Repudiation In The affairs of Khilaaf (i.e. differing)]

Some people are under the illusion that what is intended by this statement is that it impermissible to repudiate (others) regarding any affair in which difference of opinion is held.  So based upon this (illusion of theirs), it becomes impermissible to disapprove of a Munkar (an evil) unless there is complete agreement in doing so.  This is a wrong understanding which necessitates the termination of enjoining good and forbidding evil.

The scholars (i.e. of Ahlus Sunnah) hold differences of opinion in most of the Masaa’il (i.e. the verdicts on fiqh and subsidiary issues). And what is correct regarding this statement ‘Laa Inkaar Fee Masaa’il Al-Khilaaf- There should be no repudiation in affairs of Khilaaf (differing)’ is that there should neither be harshness in (one’s) disapproval nor (in one’s) criticism regarding those issues about which there is no manifest proof to be taken as the final (verdict). And the basis upon which this is founded is that the issues of khilaaf (differing) are of two categories:

The First Category: They are those issues of khilaaf in which there is proof necessitating that it should be taken as the final (verdict).  So here, the proof must be taken and the other statement (or opinion) in opposition is discarded.  And whoever follows the statement (or opinion) that is established to be in opposition to the proofs, then he is to be repudiated.

The Second Category: It is those issues of khilaaf in which the proof has not been manifested in order to be taken as the final (verdict).  It is an affair in which the evidences contend with each other or the views are at variance.  This is an issue of Ijtihaad, and there is neither disapproval nor reprimand against the one in opposition; rather advice is given to acquaint (each other) with the statement that carries more weight.   This second category of (khilaaf) is what is intended by the statement ‘Laa Inkaar Fee Masaa-il Al-Khilaaf’ which some people have understood in an unrestricted manner. [1]

Shaikh Rabee Bin Haadee Al Madkhalee (hafidha-hullaah) said:

We do not say that there are people of ijtihaad amongst ahlul bidah because they are followers of desires, and Allaah and His Messenger have testified to this.  The misguided innovator stirs up discord (or splitting) and errs, and then says to you, ‘This is ijtihaad’.

When Hikmatiyaar and the misguided parties (in Afghanistan) murdered Shaikh Jameel Ur-Rahmaan, they said: ‘This is ijtihaad’.  Making lawful the spilling of the blood of the Salafis is Ijtihaad to them.  This is what it is! They (ahlul bidah) do not fall into an affair of misguidance or a calamity except that they say, ‘This is ijtihaad’. This is diluting Islaam.  It is falsehood, misguidance and bidah mixed with truth when the mistakes of the (true and qualified scholars of ijtihaad)- for which they are rewarded- are placed at the same level with innovation about which the Messenger (sallal-laahu-alayhi-wasallam) said that it will be in the fire.
