CONVERSATION BETWEEN A MOTHER AND HER SON:

Mother:

I fought with death when I was giving birth to you. I spent sleepless nights when you were sick and crying. I never ate without feeding you first. I bore so many pains to bring you to the stage that you are in today. How will you repay me my son?

Son: 

When I grow up, I will find a good job and earn lots of money for you so you can enjoy the pleasures of this world.

Mother:

Your father is doing this already and I do not expect this from you too. By the time you are earning I will be old and will not be in need of any worldly luxuries.

Son:

I will find a pious lady and marry her so she can cook for you and take care of you.

Mother:

That is not her duty my son and neither should you marry for that reason. It is not compulsory on her to do any service to me, neither do I expect this from her. Your marriage should be for you, a companion and a comfort for you as you go through this journey of life.

Son:

Tell me mother how can I repay you then?

Mother:

(With tears in her eyes) Visit or call me often. A mother only requires this much from you while she is alive. Then when I die give me your shoulder and bury me. Whenever you perform prayers, supplicate for me. Give out in charity for me. Remember your every good deed will benefit me in the hereafter so be good and kind always. Fulfill the rights of Allah SWT and all those around you. The sleepless nights and pains I took to bring you up was not a favour to you but was for my creator. He blessed me with you as a beautiful gift and as a means for me to attain His pleasure. Your every good deed becomes my repayment. Will you do it my son?

Son:

(Cannot speak and has tears in his eyes)

May we all be of those that are a coolness of our parents eyes and a means of their purification.

"Say My Lord be merciful to them as they brought me up in my childhood"

(Surah Al-Israa)..

What to read after each Namaz.

These are 5 Surahs which we should try to read after each Salaah.

· After Fajr read, Surah Yaseen-(Surah Number 36).

· After Zuhr, read Surah Fatah-(Surah Number 48).

· After Asr, read Surah Naba-(Surah Number 78).

· After Maghrib, read Surah Waqiah-(Surah Number 56).

· After Isha, read Surah Mulk-(Surah Number 67).

Blessings of Surah Yaseen:
Allah Ta'alah will solve your problems.

Blessings of Surah Fatah:
Allah Ta'alah will save you from evil and from Fitnah (corruption and misguidance).

Blessings of Surah Naba:
Allah Ta'alah will grant you with great knowledge and wisdom.

Blessings of Surah Waqiah:
Allah Ta'alah will grant prosperity in the business and you will never be in a situation where you are in hunger or in poverty.

Blessings of Surah Mulk:
Allah Ta'alah will save you from the punishment of the grave.


We should all make an effort to read each of these Surahs after each Salaah. They don't take very long and are a great way for us to save ourselves from many trials and also gain Barakah and blessings in many areas of our daily lives.

We should also try and remember to read Surah Kahf on Friday.

Apart from the above mentioned benefit and blessing, each Surah has many more benefits. In Sha Allah, over the next few weeks, I will be writing posts regarding the Fadhaail and rewards of reading the above mentioned Surahs.


May Allah give you and me the ability to read these Surahs so that we can gain reward and a place in Jannat-ul-Firdaus.



Ameen.

Message For Friday - Astaghfirullah.

Don’t forget to thank Allah for every good He has blessed you with and every bad He has saved you from. Say Alhamdulillah. Stay humble when blessings come your way. Remember, Allah gave them to you and He has the power to take them away from you too.

Don't let the small sins you commit become a river of sins that comes to haunt you on Judgment Day. Constantly ask Allah for forgiveness!

God says to the believers in a Hadith Qudsi: "O son of Adam, so long as you call upon Me, and ask of Me, I shall forgive you for what you have done, and I shall not mind.

It's Friday, the Best Day of the Week. Be sure to attend Jumu’ah, recite surah al kahf, and pray with loved ones today. May Allah accept all our acts of worship and grant us forgiveness and success in this life and the hereafter." Ameen.

Eid Al Adha Mubarak!

Wishing you and your loved ones a very Happy Eid Al Adha Mubarak!

Ten days and nights of Dhul Hijjah - Merits of the First Ten Days of Dhul-Hijjah*

 The best ten days of the year

Introduction: Praise be to Allah Who has created Time and has made some times better than others, some months and days and nights better than others, in a sense that rewards are multiplied many times than the case in other periods of time. This reflects Allah’s overflowing mercy towards His servants, and it encourages them to do more righteous deeds and makes them more eager to worship Him, so that the Muslim renews his efforts to gain a greater share of reward, prepare himself for death and supply himself in readiness for the Day of Judgment.

This season of worship brings many benefits, such as the opportunity to correct one’s faults and make up for any shortcomings or anything that one might have missed. Every one of these special occasions involves some kind of worship through which the servants may draw closer to Allah, and some kind of blessing though which Allah bestows His favor and mercy upon whomsoever He wills. Happiness and success are for the one who makes the most of these special months, days and hours and draws nearer to his Lord during these times through acts of worship and righteousness. The Muslim must understand the value of his life, increase his worship of Allah and persist in doing good deeds until the moment of death.

Almighty Allah says: [And worship your Lord until there comes unto you the certainty.] (Al-Hijr 15:99) The Scholars say: ‘The certainty’ means death. Among the special seasons of worship are the first ten days of Dhul-Hijjah, which Allah has preferred over all the other days of the year. Ibn `Abbas (may Allah be pleased with him and his father) reported that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "There are no days in which righteous deeds are more beloved to Allah than these ten days." The people asked, "Not even Jihad for the sake of Allah?" He said, "Not even Jihad for the sake of Allah, except in the case of a man who went out to fight, giving himself and his wealth up for the cause, and came back with nothing." (Reported by al-Bukhari)

This text and others indicate that these ten days are better than all the other days of the year, with no exceptions, not even the last ten days of Ramadan [but the last ten nights of Ramadan are better than the nights of the first 10 days of Dhul-Hijjah, because they include Laylat al-Qadr, which is better than a thousand months. Thus the various reports may be reconciled. (See Tafsir Ibn Kathir, 5/412)]

Vertues of the ten days of Dhul-Hijjah*: You should know that the virtue of these ten days is based on many things:

 1. Allah swears an oath by them, and swearing an oath by something is indicative of its importance and great benefit. Almighty Allah says: [By the dawn; by the ten nights.] (Al-Fajr 89:1-2) Ibn `Abbas, Ibn Az-Zubayr, Mujahid and others of the earlier and later generations are of the opinion that this refers to the first ten days of Dhul-Hijjah. Ibn Kathir said: "This is the correct opinion." (Tafsir Ibn Kathir, 8/413)

2. The Prophet (PBUH) testified that these are the best days of this world, as was already quoted above from authentic Hadiths (in the introduction.) Abdullah ibn `Umar (may Allah be pleased with him and his father) reported that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "There are no days greater in the sight of Allah and in which righteous deeds are more beloved to Him than these ten days, so during this time recite a great deal of Tahlil (saying: 'there is no god but Allah'), Takbir and Tahmid." (Reported by Ahmad) 

3. These ten days include the Day of Arafah**, on which Allah perfected His Religion. Fasting on this day will expiate for the sins of two years.

4. These days also include the Day of Sacrifice***, the greatest day of the entire year and the greatest day of Hajj, which combines acts of worship in a way unlike any other day. 

Suggested actions: What should a Muslim do during the 1st ten days of Dhul-Hijjah?

1- Fasting: It is Sunnah to fast on the ninth day of Dhul-Hijjah (day of Arafah**), because the Prophet (PBUH) urged us to do good deeds during this time, and fasting is one of the best of deeds. The Prophet (PBUH) used to fast on the ninth of Dhul-Hijjah. Hunaydah Ibn Khalid quoted some of the wives of the Prophet (PBUH) as saying: "The Prophet (PBUH) used to fast on the ninth of Dhul-Hijjah, on the day of `Ashurah, on three days of each month, and on the first two Mondays and Thursdays of each month." (Reported by An-Nisa'i, 4/205) A Muslim is also urged to fast as many of the remaining days, other than the day of Arafah.

2- Takbir: It is Sunnah to say takbir, tahmid, tahlil, and tasbih during the first ten days of Dhul-Hijjah, and to say it loudly in the mosque, the home, the street and every place where it is permitted to remember Allah and mention His name out loud, as an act of worship and as a proclamation of the greatness of Allah, may He be exalted. When in public, men should recite these phrases out loud, and women should recite them quietly. Allah says: (That they might witness things that are of benefit to them (i.e., reward of Hajj in the Hereafter, and also some worldly gain from trade, etc.), and mention the name of Allah on appointed days, over the beast of cattle that He has provided for them (for sacrifice)... ) (Al-Hajj 22:28) The majority of scholars agree that the "appointed days" are the first ten days of Dhul-Hijjah, because of the words of Ibn `Abbas (may Allah be pleased with him and his father): "The ‘appointed days’ are the first ten days (of Dhul-Hijjah)." Takbir at this time is an aspect of the Sunnah that has been forgotten, especially during the early part of this period, so much so that one hardly ever hears takbir, except from a few people. This takbir should be pronounced loudly, in order to revive the Sunnah and as a reminder to the negligent. There is sound evidence that Ibn `Umar and Abu Hurayrah (may Allah be pleased with them both) used to go out in the marketplace during the first ten days of Dhul-Hijjah, reciting takbir, and the people would recite it after him.

3- Performing Hajj and `Umrah: One of the best deeds that one can do during these ten days is to perform Hajj to the Sacred House of Allah. The one whom Allah helps to offer Hajj to His House and to perform all the rituals properly is included in the words of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him): "An accepted Hajj brings no less a reward than Paradise."

4- Doing more good deeds in general: This is because good deeds are beloved by Allah and earn one a great reward. Whoever is not able to offer Hajj should occupy himself at this blessed time with acts of worship, offering Prayers, reading the Qur’an, remembering Allah, making supplications, giving in charity, showing dutifulness to parents, maintaining the ties of kinship, enjoining what is good and forbidding what is evil, and other good deeds and acts of worship.

5- Sacrifice: One of the good deeds that will bring a person closer to Allah during these ten days is offering a sacrifice. Aishah (may Allah be pleased with her) narrated that the prophet (PBUH) said (in the meaning of) that the sacrifice is the best of the actions that a Muslim does on the day of Eid (more about the sacrifice is listed below.)

6- Sincere repentance: One of the most important things to do during these ten days is to repent sincerely to Allah and to give up all kinds of disobedience and sin.

Offering Udhyiah (Qurbani/Sacrifice) On Eid Ul-Adha 

What is an Udhyiah? Udhiyah refers to the animal (camel, cattle or sheep) offered as a sacrifice, and it as an act of worship dedicated solely to gain the Pleasure of Allah Subhanahu Wa ta’ala.

What is the importance of Udhiah? Udhiyah is one of the great rituals of Islam, in which we remember the Oneness of our Creater Allah, His Blessings upon us and the obedience of our father Ibrahim to his Lord, and in this act of Udhiyah there is much goodness and blessing. So the Muslim must pay attention to its great importance. In the Qur'an Allah says: “Therefore turn in prayer to your Lord and sacrifice (to Him only)” (Al-Kawthar: 2). The Udhyiah is also an act of Sunnah or tradition of the prophet Muhammad (may Allah be pleased with him) who according to Anas ibn Malik: “sacrificed two white rams speckled with black. He slaughtered them with his own hand, said ‘Allahu Akbar,’…” (Sahih Al-Bukhari and Sahih Muslim).

What is the Islamic ruling regarding the Udhyiah?

1. “Offering Udhiyah during Eid Al-Adha is regarded as Wajib (mandatory) according to Imam Abu Hanifah and a as Sunnah Mu'akkadah (stressed/emphasized Sunnah) according to other jurists.

2. The ruling mentioned above is applicable to those people who have the Nissab (payable amount) of Zakah. So if someone is unable financially, then he/she is not mandated to perform the Udhiya.

Conditions of the Udhyiah (to be accepted by Allah S.W.)

1. The time for offering a sacrifice begins AFTER Eid Al-Adha prayer. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said that whosoever offered a sacrifice before Eid prayer, he or she just slaughtered an animal for meat, but whosoever made sacrifice after Eid Al-Adha prayer, he or she has offered a sacrifice (Al-Bukhari, Sahih, Hadith no. 902). The time of sacrifice remains in effect until sunset on the 13th day of Dhul Hijjah (Specific dates for this year, please see below****.) a. Therefore it is very important for those brothers/sisters who are arranging for their udhiyah to be performed by a slaughterhouse, to ask the people in charge of when the slaughtering takes place, and they should not accept any slaughtering to be done before the Eid prayer.

2. One sacrifice is sufficient for one household (family).

3. The types of animals that can be slaughtered are (goats, sheep, cows and camels). One goat, lamb or sheep is on behalf of one household, but seven people can share in offering one cow or one camel

4. The animal should have reached the required age, which is six months for a lamb, one year for a goat, two years for a cow and five years for a camel.

5. The animal should be free of any faults, because the Prophet (peace and blessing be upon him) said: “There are four that will not do for sacrifice: a one-eyed animal whose defect is obvious, a sick animal whose sickness is obvious, a lame animal whose limp is obvious and an emaciated animal that has no marrow in its bones.” (Sahih Al-Jami`, no. 886). There are milder defects that do not disqualify an animal, but it is makruh (disliked) to sacrifice such animals, such as an animal with a horn or ear missing, or an animal with slits in its ears, etc. Udhiyah is an act of worship to Allah, and Allah is Good and accepts only that which is good. Whoever honors the rites of Allah, this has to do with the piety of the heart.

6. It is forbidden to sell the sacrifice. If an animal has been selected for sacrifice, it is not permissible to sell it or give it away, except in exchange for one that is better.

7. The meat of the Udhiyah should be divided in three equal portions: one for oneself and the family, one for friends or relatives (friends do not have to be poor to be given meat), and one for the poor and needy. The division does not have to be very accurate, but the more that is given to charity, the greater the reward will be, insha’ Allah. Even if someone is unable to distribute the meat to the needy, he/she should still slaughter for that the reward of slaughtering is too great to be missed.

8. The Udhiyah can be performed in another country on behalf of those who have the intention to sacrifice. You can arrange this through a charitable organization if you’d like. Your Qurbani can be arranged any where in india call me in +91 98454 98354 

Miscellaneous items 1. It is mustahabb or preferable for one who has made a sacrifice not to eat anything on that day before he eats from it, if this is possible, because of the Hadith, “Let every man eat from his sacrifice.” 2. It is better for a person to slaughter the sacrifice himself, but if he does not, it is mustahabb (preferable) for him to be present when it is slaughtered. 3. The scholars agreed that it is not permissible to sell anything from its meat, fat or skin. 4. The butcher should not be given anything of it by way of reward or payment, but can be given some of the meat as a gift. 5. It is also permissible to give some of the meat to a non-Muslim if he is poor or a relative or a neighbor, or in order to open his heart to Islam.

IPL final to start at 8 PM

 

The reason for an 8PM start, instead of 7:30, is the IPL closing ceremony


The final of the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2022 will start at 8PM IST. This, Cricbuzz understands, is in view of an additional feature lined up on the final day - a cultural closing ceremony.

The final of IPL 2022 will be played at the Narendra Modi Stadium at Motera in Ahmedabad next Sunday (May 29).

Cricbuzz has learnt from the BCCI and IPL authorities that the closing ceremony, involving Bollywood personalities, is scheduled to start at 6:30 PM IST and will run for a duration of 50 minutes. The toss will be held at 7:30 PM IST and the match will start 30 minutes later.


Incidentally, the news comes just a day after Cricbuzz reported that the BCCI's preferred timing for starting the evening IPL matches is 8PM, which used to be the schedule the league followed for the first 10 years, from 2008-17.

The opening and closing ceremonies involving Bollywood stars were regular features of the IPL in its first decade. It was discontinued under the Supreme Court-appointed Committee of Administrators (CoA) regime for three years which the current dispensation followed for the first two years of its charge.

Even this year there was no opening ceremony on March 26, when the IPL started. The decision to hold the closing ceremony was an afterthought, taken at an Apex Council meeting later.

The IPL has reached the business-end of the competition with the league stage concluding this Sunday (May 22). The four-match play-offs are being staged in Kolkata and Ahmedabad with the former hosting the Qualifier 1 and the Eliminator on May 24 and 25 and the last two games in Ahmedabad.

Can you use perfumes and aftershaves that have alcohol in them?

Question:

Are we permitted to use deodorants, creams, perfumes, and other cosmetics containing alcohol?

ANSWER : 
Yes it is permitted to use deodorants and creams containing alcohol, as it is invariably synthetic alcohol and not the khamr (wine) that is absolutely impermissible and filthy.

Non-wine alcohol is not ritually impure. As a result, it is permitted in external uses, such as in perfumes and soaps.

 [Mufti Taqi Usmani, Takmilat Fath al-Mulhim; Shaykh Mustafa Zarqa, Fatawa]

However, it is more religiously precautious not to, because of the difference of opinion about it.

According to the Indian Hanafi scholars, the fatwa in our times is that synthetic alcohol (and all alcohol not considered ‘khamr’) is tahir (pure), and permitted to use and consume AS LONG AS:

• it is not used as an intoxicant;
• it is not used as intoxicants as used (i.e. for alcoholic consumption, even a little);
• it is not used in an amount that intoxicates;
• it is not used in vain (lahw).

This was Mufti Mahmoud Ashraf Usmani’s explanation, and it is supported by many fatwas in the great Indian Hanafi fatwa references of the 20th Century. This is the position of Imam Abu Hanifa himself. Later scholars said that the fatwa was on the position of Imam Muhammad ibn al-Hasan al-Shaybani, Abu Hanifa’s student, that all alcohol is najis and haram, even in small quantities, because of widespread fitna. In our times, because of the widespread use of alcohol in all sorts of things, it has become very difficult to avoid. This is why great Hanafis of our times gave the above mentioned fatwa.

Eid ul Fitr 2022 - What Eid means for Muslims

What Eid means for Muslims



Eid in Arabic means “feast, festival, holiday.”

Eid is a worldwide festival and celebration for Muslims. During the calendar year there are two Eid’s that are celebrated by Muslims. Eid ul Fitr, which means “festival to break the fast”, is at the end of the holy month of Ramadan in which Muslims fast for a whole month.

Eid ul Fitr is also known as the lesser Eid, and is determined by the confirmed sighting of the new moon. Eid is a time for reflection and starting afresh, a time to rejoice with family and friends, but also a time for remembering those who are less fortunate. It’s a time to count our blessings while also giving charity to those in need. Fasting teaches empathy and compassion for those less fortunate. In this time of year it provides Muslims belief and the opportunity to feel closer to God by carrying out various works of charity to benefit the poor and by offering prayers imposed and enacted. There are special morning Eid prayers offered in congregation to accompany the 5 daily prayers to mark the occasion. Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) reported that servants who get cleaned by fasting and worshipping should wish for whatever they want from Allah in Eid prayers.

Eid is a momentous, happy and joyous occasion shared with family and friends, Muslim and non-Muslim. A celebration of this nature, with family and friends following a month fasting, is a reminder and expression of trying to be a better person in all aspects (health, spiritual, belief and faith)




Eid’ul Adha

The second Eid is Eid ul Adha, which means “Festival of Sacrifice” and occurs two months after Eid’ul Fitr in which Muslims sacrifice animals for the sake of Allah. The date of Eid al-Adha also varies in accordance with the Islamic lunar calendar, falling on the tenth day of Dhu al-Hijjah (the twelfth month).

Eid ul Adha is known as the greater Eid and commemorates the willingness of the Prophet Abraham to sacrifice his son Ishmael as an act of obedience to Allah at which point Allah showed great mercy by switching a ram with Ishmael at the last moment of sacrifice. Muslims believe that the very moment Abraham raised the knife, Allah instructed him to stop, that Abraham had passed the test, and to replace Ishmael with a sacrificial ram. In Britain, anyone wishing to sacrifice a sheep is required to make arrangements for the sheep to be slaughtered humanely.

Eid ul Adha also marks the end of Hajj, the annual pilgrimage to Saudi Arabia. Hajj is the pilgrimage to Mecca, Islam’s holiest site, and is an integral part of the Muslim faith. According to the Koran, all Muslims who can afford to should make the journey to Saudi Arabia at least once in their lifetime. Every year, at least two million Muslims will make the pilgrimage and stand before the Kaaba, a shrine built by Ibrahim, and pray to Allah. The prophet Muhammad Peace be upon him, said that a person who performs Hajj properly “will return as a newly born baby and hence free of all sins”.

Islam teaches Muslims how to celebrate Eid. The day begins with morning prayers, followed by visits to family and friends and the exchange of food and gifts. Muslims are obliged to share food and money with the poor so that they can take part in the celebrations. On these days, Muslims bathe and wear their best clothes. Even though fasting is not permitted on Eid days and food plays a big part in Eid, the major part of the celebration is not eating or drinking; rather, it is a prayer that brings Muslims together to remember Allah’s bounties and celebrate in his glory and greatness. Eid is a chance to multiply good deeds by bringing happiness and pleasure to the hearts of other Muslims, helping and supporting the poor and needy and by getting involved in pastimes that emphasize the strong and caring Islamic character.




Eid is a day to cheer and to laugh with all your heart. It’s a day to be grateful to Allah for all of his heavenly blessings on us.
Wishing you a happy Eid.

Antique Qibla Finders.

When Muslims pray, they turn towards Mecca. The Islamic term for this direction is qibla. Islamic astronomers created Qibla Finders to indicate the direction prayer. They were objects of function as well as beauty. Here are 17 exquisite Qibla Finders.
