عن أَمِيرِ المُؤمِنِينَ أَبي حَفْصٍ عُمَرَ بنِ الخطَّابِ رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهُ قَالَ : سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم يَقُولُ: " إِنَّما الأَعْمَالُ بالنِّيَّاتِ وإنَّما لكُلِّ امْرِىءٍ ما نَوَى، فَمَنْ كانَتْ هِجْرَتُهُ إلى اللهِ ورَسُولِهِ فَهِجْرَتُهُ إلى اللهِ ورَسُولِهِ، ومَنْ كانَتْ هِجْرَتُهُ لِدُنْيا يُصِيبُها أو امْرأةٍ يَنْكِحُها فَهِجْرَتُهُ إلى ما هَاجَرَ إليه".
On the authority of Omar bin Al-Khattab, who said : I heared the messenger of Allah salla Allah u alihi wa sallam say : "Actions are but by intention and every man shall have but that which he intended. Thus he whose migration was for Allah and His messenger, his migration was for Allah and His messenger, and he whose migration was to achieve some worldly benefit or to take some woman in marriage, his migration was for that for which he migrated." related by Bukhari and Muslim

عن أُمِّ المُؤمِنينَ أُمِّ عَبْدِ الله عائِشَةَ رَضي اللهُ عنها قالَتْ: قالَ رسُولُ الله صلى الله عليه وسلم: " مَنْ أَحْدَثَ في أَمْرِنا هذا ما لَيْسَ منهُ فَهُوَ رَدٌّ ". رَواهُ البُخارِيُّ ومُسْلمٌ. وفي رِوايَةٍ لمُسْلمٍ " : مَنْ عَمِلَ عَمَلاً لَيْسَ عليه أَمْرُنا فَهُوَ رَدٌّ ".
On the authority of Aishah, who said : The messenger of Allah said:"He who innovates something in this matter of ours that is not of it will have it rejected." narrated by Bukhari and Muslim And in one version by Muslim it reads :"He who does an act which our matter is not [in agreement] with will have it rejected."

عَنْ أبي عَبْدِ اللهِ النُّعْمَانِ بْنِ بَشِيرٍ رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهُما قَالَ : سمعتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم يَقُولُ: " إن الْحَلالَ بَيِّنٌ وَإنَّ الْحَرَامَ بَيِّنٌ وَبَيْنَهُما أمور مُشْتَبِهَاتٌ لا يَعْلَمُهُنَّ كَثيِرٌ مِنَ الناسِ، فَمَنِ اتَّقَى الشُّبُهَاتِ اسْتَبْرَأَ لِدِينِهِ وَعِرْضِهِ، وَمَنْ وَقَعَ في الشَّبُهاتِ وَقَعَ في الْحَرَامِ، كالرَّاعِي يَرْعَى حَوْلَ الْحِمَى يُوشِك أَنْ يَرْتَعَ فِيهِ، أَلا وَإنَّ لِكُلِّ مَلِكٍ حِمىً أَلا وَإنَّ حِمَى الله مَحَارِمُه، أَلا وَإنَّ في الجَسَدِ مُضْغَةً إذَا صَلَحَتْ صَلَحً الْجَسَدُ كُلُّهُ وإذَا فَسَدَتْ فَسَدَ الْجَسَدُ كُلُّهُ، أَلا وَهِيَ الْقَلْب" رَوَاهُ الْبُخَارِيُّ وَمُسْلِمٌ.
On the authority of Al-Numan bin Basheer, who said : I heared the messenger of Allah say : "That which is lawful is plain and that which is unlawful is plain and between the two of them are doubtful matters about which not many people know. Thus he who avoids doubtful matters clears himself in regard to his religion and his honor, but he who falls into doubtful matters falls into that which is unlawful, like the shepherd who pastures around a sanctuary, all but grazing therein. Truly every king has a sanctuary, and truly Allah's sanctuary is His prohibitions. Truly in the body there is a morsel of flesh which, if it be whole, all the body is whole and which, if it be diseased, all of it is diseased. Truly it is the heart." narrated by Bukhari and Muslim

On the authority of Tamim Al-Dari that the prophet said: "Religion is sincerity". We said: "To whom?" He said: "To Allah and His Book, and His messenger, and to the leaders of the Muslims and their common folk". narrated by Muslim

عن أبي عبْدِ الرَّحْمن عبدِ الله بنِ مسعودٍ رضي الله عنه قال: حدَّثَنا رسولُ الله صلى الله عليه وسلم وهُوَ الصَّادقُ المَصْدوق: " إن أَحَدَكُمْ يُجْمَعُ خَلْقُهُ في بَطْنِ أُمِّه أرْبعينَ يوْماً نُطْفَةً، ثُمَّ يَكُونُ عَلَقَةً مِثْلَ ذلك، ثُمَّ يَكُون مُضْغَةً مِثْلَ ذلك، ثُمَّ يُرْسَلُ إليه المَلكُ فَيَنْفخُ فيه الرُّوحَ ويُؤمَرُ بأرْبَعِ كلماتٍ: بِكَتْبِ رِزْقِهِ وأَجَلِهِ وعَمَلِهِ وشَقيٌّ أو سَعيدٌ، فَوَاللهِ الَّذي لا إله غَيْرُهُ إنَّ أَحَدَكُمْ ليَعْمَلُ بعَمَلِ أهْلِ الجَنَّةِ حتى ما يكُون بَيْنَهُ وبَيْنَها إلا ذِرَاعُ، فَيَسْبقُ عَليْه الكِتابُ فَيَعْمَلُ بعَملُ أَهْلِ النَّارِ فَيَدْخُلُها. وإنَّ أَحَدَكُمْ لَيَعْمَلُ بِعَمَلِ أَهل النَّارِ حتى ما يَكُون بَيْنَهُ وبَيْنَها إلا ذِرَاعٌ، فَيَسْبِقُ عَلَيْهِ الكتابُ، فَيَعْمَلُ بِعَمَلِ أهل الجنَّةِ فَيَدْخُلُها ". البخاري ومسلم.
On the authority of Abdullah bin Masud, who said : the messenger of Allah, and he is the truthful, the believed narrated to us : "Verily the creation of each one of you is brought together in his mother's belly for forty days in the form of seed, then he is a clot of blood for a like period, then a morsel of flesh for a like period, then there is sent to him the angel who blows the breath of life into him and who is commanded about four matters: to write down his means of livelihood, his life span, his actions, and whether happy or unhappy. By Allah, other than Whom there is no god, verily one of you behaves like the people of Paradise until there is but an arm's length between him and it, and that which has been written over takes him and so he behaves like the people of Hell-fire and thus he enters it; and one of you behaves like the people of Hell-fire until there is but an arm's length between him and it, and that which has been written over takes him and so he behaves like the people of Paradise and thus he enters it." related by Bukhari and Muslim

On the authority of Abu Hurairah, who said : I heared the messenger of Allah say :"What I have forbidden to you, avoid; what I have ordered you [to do], do as much of it as you can.

عن أبي هُرَيْرَةَ رَضي اللهُ عنه قال: قاَل رسُولُ الله صلى الله عليه وسلم : "إنَ الله طَيِّبٌ لا يَقْبَلُ إلا طَيِّباً، وإنَّ الله أَمَرَ المُؤمِنينَ بِمَا أَمَرَ به المُرْسَلينَ فقال تعالى: {يا أَيُّها الرُّسُلُ كُلُوا مِنَ الطَّيَّباتِ واعمَلُوا صالحاً} [المؤمنون: 51] وقال تعالى: {يا أَيُّها الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا كلُوا مِنْ طَيِّباتِ ما رَزَقْناكُمْ} [البقرة: 172] ثُمَّ ذَكَرَ الرَّجُل يُطِيلُ السَّفَرَ أشْعثَ أَغْبَرَ يَمُدُّ يَدَيْهِ إلى السَّماءِ يا رَبُّ يا رَبُّ، ومَطْعَمُهُ حَرَامٌ، ومَشْربُهُ حَرَامٌ، وغُذِّيَ بالحَرَامِ، فأَنَّى يُسْتَجَابُ لهُ". رَوَاهُ مُسْلمٌ

And Allah the Almighty has said : "O ye who believe! Eat of the good things wherewith We have provided you" Then he mentioned [the case of] a man who, having journeyed far, is dishevelled and dusty and who spreads out his hands to the sky [saying] : "O Lord! O Lord!" - while his food is unlawful, his drink unlawful, his clothing unlawful, and he is nourished unlawfully, so how can he be answered !" related by Muslim

Newspaper wasn't sensitive to Muslims

Wednesday, October 8, 2008 3:10 AM

The Saturday Forum column "Suppressing speech is not the answer" by Dispatch Editorial Page Editor Glenn Sheller concerned complaints about the paper's acceptance of the DVD Obsession: Radical Islam's War Against the West as an advertising supplement.

Sheller said, "The discomfort of blameless Muslims, however, is not more important than the expression of free speech." He also said, "For many years, CAIR has waged a campaign to intimidate and silence anyone who raises alarms about the dangers of Islamic extremism."

I don't doubt Sheller's sincerity, but I would challenge him to document those assertions about the Council on American-Islamic Relations.

Freedom of speech is essential in a democracy, and I would not deny Sheller's right to express his views, but I am disappointed that a great newspaper like The Dispatch would carry his characterization of the situation as "discomfort" and accuse CAIR of engaging in a campaign to silence its critics.

Why did The (Cleveland) Plain Dealer and Cincinnati Enquirer decline to accept the DVD ad ? Does The Dispatch believe those newspapers are silencing free speech?

I have appreciated the paper for a long time and have been a consistent advocate on its behalf, but I am convinced that Sheller's column unfairly minimized the understandable apprehension within the Muslim community and distorted CAIR's work on its behalf.

The Fast (Sawm) is for Me

2008-09-01T20:31:00.001-04:00

Know, that in the Fast (Sawm) is a special quality that is not found in anything else. And that is its close connection to Allah, such that He says: "The Fast (Sawm) is for Me ( All Merciful God, Allaah)and I will reward it." [Saheeh al-Bukhaaree and Muslim]

This connection is enough to show the high status of fasting. Similarly, the Ka`bah is highly dignified due to its close connection to Him, as occurs in His statement:

"And sanctify My House." [Soorah al-Hajj:26]

Indeed, the fast is only virtuous due to two significant concepts:

The first: It is a secret and hidden action thus, no one from the creation is able to see it. Therefore riyaa' (showing off) cannot enter into it.

The second: It is a means of subjugating the enemies of Allah. This is because the road that the enemies (of Allah) embark upon (in order to misguide the Son of Aadam) is that of desires. And eating and drinking strengthens the desires.

There are many reports that indicate the merits of fasting, and they are all well known.

The recommended acts of fasting

The pre-dawn meal (suhoor) and delaying in taking it are preferable, as well as hastening to break the fast and doing so with dates.

Generosity in giving is also recommended during Ramadaan, as well as doing good deeds and increasing in charity. This is in accordance with the way of the Messenger of Allah (sallallahu `alayhi wa sallam).

It is also recommended to study the Qur'aan and perform I`tikaaf during Ramadaan, especially in the last ten days, as well as increasing upon the exertion (towards doing good deeds) in it.

In the two Saheehs, `Aa'ishah said:

"When the (last) ten days (of Ramadaan) would come, the Prophet would tighten his waist-wrapper (izaar), spend the night in worship, and wake his family up (for prayer)." [Saheeh al-Bukhaaree and Muslim]

The scholars have mentioned two views concerning the meaning of "tighten his waist-wrapper (izaar)":

The first: It means the turning away from women.

The second: It is an expression denoting his (sallallahu `alayhi wa sallam) eagerness and diligence in doing good deeds.

They also say that the reason for his (sallallahu `alayhi wa sallam) exertion in the last ten days of Ramadaan was due to his (sallallahu `alayhi wa sallam) seeking of the Night of Al-Qadr (Lailatul-Qadr).

An explanation of the inner secrets of fasting and its characteristics

There are three levels of fasting: The general fast, the specific fast, and the more specific fast.

As for the general fast, then it is the refraining of the stomach and the private parts from fulfilling their desires.

The specific fast is the refraining of ones gaze, tongue, hands, feet, hearing and eyes, as well as the rest of his body parts from committing sinful acts.

As for the more specific fast, then it is the heart's abstention from its yearning after the worldly affairs and the thoughts which distance one away from Allah, as well as its (the heart's) abstention from all the things that Allah has placed on the same level.

From the characteristics of the specific fast is that one lowers his gaze and safeguards his tongue from the repulsive speech that is forbidden, disliked, or which has no benefit, as well as controlling the rest of his body parts.

In a hadeeth reported by Al-Bukhaaree:

"Whosoever does not abandon false speech and the acting upon it, Allah is not in need of him leaving off his food and drink." [Saheeh al-Bukhaaree, Abu Dawood, at-Tirmidhee and Ibn Maajah]

Another characteristic of the specific fast is that one does not overfill himself with food during the night. Instead, he eats in due measure, for indeed, the son of Aadam does not fill a vessel more evil than his stomach.

If he were to eat his fill during the first part of the night, he would not make good use of himself for the remainder of the night. In the same way, if he eats to his fill for suhoor, he does not make good use of himself until the afternoon. This is because excessive eating breeds laziness and lethargy. Therefore, the objective of fasting disappears due to one's excessiveness in eating, for what is intended by the fast, is that one savors the taste of hunger and becomes an abandoner of desires.

Recommended Fasts

As for the recommended fasts, then know that preference for fasting is established in certain virtuous days. Some of these virtuous days occur every year, such as fasting the first six days of the month of Shawaal after Ramadaan, fasting the day of `Arafah, the day of `Aashooraa, and the ten days of Dhul-Hijjah and Muharram.

Some of them occur every month, such as the first part of the month, the middle part of it, and the last part of it. So whoever fasts the first part of the month, the middle part of it, and the last part of it, then he has done well.

Some fasts occur every week, and they are every Monday and Thursday.

The most virtuous of the recommended fasts is the fast of Dawood (`alayhis salaam). He would fast one day and break his fast the next day. This achieves the following three objectives:

The soul is given its share on the day the fast is broken. And on the day of fasting, it completes its worship in full.

The day of eating is the day of giving thanks and the day of fasting is the day of having patience. And Faith (Eemaan) is divided into two halves - that of thankfulness and that of patience. [Note: the hadeeth with a similar stament is unauthentic, see adh-Dha`eefah: 625]

It is the most difficult struggle for the soul. This is because every time the soul gets accustomed to a certain condition, it transfers itself to that.

As for fasting every day, then it has been reported by Muslim, from the hadeeth of Abu Qataadah, that `Umar (radhiallahu `anhu) asked the Prophet (sallallahu `alayhi wa sallam): 'What is the case if one were to fast every day?' So he (sallallahu `alayhi wa sallam) said: "He did not fast nor did he break his fast - or - he did not fast and he did not break his fast." [Saheeh Muslim]

This is concerning the one who fasts continuously, even during the days in which fasting is forbidden.

Characteristics of the most specific fast

Know that the one who has been given intellect, knows the objective behind fasting. Therefore, he burdens himself to the extent that he will not be unable to do that which is more beneficial than it.

Ibn Mas`ood would fast very little and it is reported that he used to say: "When I fast, I grow weak in my prayer. And I prefer the prayer over the (optional) fast.

Some of them (the Sahaabah) would weaken in their recitation of the Qur'aan while fasting. Thus, they would exceed in breaking their fast (i.e. by observing less optional fasts), until they were able to balance their recitation. Every individual is knowledgeable of his condition and of what will rectify it.

Sweetness of faith

2008-04-09T19:00:00.001-04:00

Anas, may Allah be pleased with him, reported:
Allah's Prophet (may peace and blessings be upon him) said: There are three qualities, whoever is characterized by them will relish the sweetness of faith: One to whom Allah and His Messenger are dearer than all else; one who loves a man only for Allah's sake; and one who abhors returning to infidelity after Allah has rescued him from it as he abhors being cast into Hell.

Hadith Qudsi

On the authority of Abu Harayrah (may Allah be pleased with him) from the Prophet (peace be upon him), who said: Allah (mighty and sublime be He) says:

Fasting is Mine and it I who give reward for it. [A man] gives up his sexual passion, his food and his drink for my sake. Fasting is like a shield, and he who fasts has two joys: a joy whin he breaks his fast and a joy when he meets his Lord. The change in the breath of the mouth of him who fasts is better in Allah's estimation than the smell of musk.

It was related by al-Bukhari (also by Muslim, Malik, at-Tirmidhi, an-Nasa'i and Ibn Majah).

who is the one who is bankrupt

Who is the one who is bankrupt

Muslim narrated from Abu Hurayrah that the Messenger of Allah, said:

"Do you know who is the one who is bankrupt?" They said, 'The bankrupt is the one who has no money and no possessions.' He said, 'Among my Ummah, the one who is bankrupt is the one who will come on the Day of Resurrection with prayer and fasting and Zakah (to his credit), but he will come having insulted this one, slandered that one, consumed the wealth of this one and shed the blood of that one, and beaten that one. So they will all be given some of his hasanaat, and when his hasanaat run out, before judgment is passed, some of their sins will be taken and cast onto him, then he will be cast into the Fire.'" (Muslim: 4/1998, Hadith no. 2581)

rescue yourselves from the Fire

2006-11-18T19:28:00.000-05:00

Abu Hurairah, may Allah be pleased with him, reported:
When this verse was revealed: And warn your tribe (O Muhammad SAW) of near kindred the Messenger of Allah (may peace be upon him) called the Quraish; so they gathered and he gave them a general warning. Then he made a particular (reference to certain tribes) and said: O sons of Ka'b bin Lu'ai, rescue yourselves from the Fire; O sons of Murrah bin Ka'b, rescue yourselves from the Fire: O sons of 'Abd Shams, rescue yourselves from the Fire; O sons of 'Abd Manaf, rescue yourselves from the Fire; O sons of Hashim, rescue yourselves from the Fire; O sons of 'Abdul-Muttalib, rescue yourselves from the Fire; O Fatimah, rescue yourself from the Fire, for I have no power (to protect you) from Allah in anything except that I would sustain relationship with you.

Fasting is for Allah only

2006-09-09T18:58:00.000-04:00

The prophet of Allah said:

"Every action of the son of Adam is given manifold reward, each good deed receiving then times its like, up to seven hundred times. Allah the Most High said, 'Except for fasting, for it is for Me and I will give recompense for it, he leaves off his desires and his food for Me.' for the fasting person there are two times of joy; a time when he breaks his fast and a time of joy when he meets his Lord, and the smell coming from the mouth of the fasting person is better with Allah than the smell of musk." [Al-Bukhaaree]

Two Persons Tortured in Grave

2005-11-02T21:25:00.000-05:00

Narrated Ibn Abbas:

The Prophet once passed by two graves and said, "They (the deceased persons in those graves) are being tortured not for a great thing to avoid." And then added, "Yes, (they are being punished for a big sin), for one of them used to go about with calumnies while the other never saved himself from being soiled with his urine." (Ibn Abbas added): Then he took a green leaf of a date-palm) and split it into two pieces and fixed one piece on each grave and said, "May their punishment be abated till these (two pieces) get dry."
