famous book in Urdu by Shaikhul-Hadith Moulana Zakariyya of Saharanpur, India. Moulana Zakariyya (rahmatullahi alaih) was one of the world’s greatest scholars on Hadith and was undoubtedly one of the greatest spiritual teachers of his age, having thousands of mureeds all over India, Pakistan, Malaysia, South Africa, etc. He needs no introduction as an Aalim and Sheikh (spiritual guide) since he is following in the footsteps of the illustrious sons of Islam such as Shaikhul-Hind Moulana Mahmoodul-Hasan, Moulana Raipuri, Moulana Thanwi, Moulana Madani, Moulana Khalil Ahmad, Moulana ‘Usmaani and Moulana Ilyaas (rahmatullahi alaihim) etc. His numerous works in Urdu and Arabic have benefitted millions and have spread far and wide as a result of the activities of the Tablighi Jamaats all over the world. Because of the beneficial nature of this book, we felt that it should be translated into English. This humble effort is being placed before the English speaking public. May Allah Ta’ala accept this work and may it benefit us all. Our fervent dua is that Allah Ta’ala grants us the ability to serve Islam and the Muslims at all times, Ameen. A humble appeal is made to all Jamaats going out in Tabligh and to the Imaams of Masjids to read this book or to arrange for it to be read to the congregation for about ten minutes daily, after the Maghrib or Esha Salaah, in the weeks preceding Ramadhaan, and also during the blessed month at a suitable time so that, Inshaa Allah, as many Muslims as possible may be inspired to observe Ramadhaan in the most fulfilling manner, Aameen. Yusuf Karaan","⟦AR:a1⟧","All praise is due to Allah Ta’ala only and blessings be upon His chosen Rasul ⟦AR:a2⟧. In the following pages I have quoted a few Ahaadith with reference to the blessed month of Ramadhaan. Rasulullah ⟦AR:a3⟧ has advised us in these Ahaadith to change our lives by acquiring the great virtues and blessings of this month. True appreciation would be that we fully carry out these teachings. These days, our negligence has become so obvious that, we neither act upon his advice nor pay any heed to it, so much so that very few of us even know about the great good we can obtain from it. My object in collecting these Ahaadith in this book is to assist the Imaams of the Masaajid, the Huffaaz and other learned Muslims who have the interest of our Deen at heart, to read out and explain this book in the Masjid before and also during the first few days of Ramadhaan, so that through the mercy and the blessings of Allah Ta’ala and His beloved Rasul ⟦AR:a4⟧, we may pay due attention to it and receive the blessings Allah Ta’ala during this mubaarak month. This can lead us towards acting on His commandments and keeping us away from sins. Rasulullah ⟦AR:a5⟧ has said, “Should Allah Ta’ala guide one person on the right path through you, it shall be better for you than a red camel (something that is pricey, and also considered a most precious possession).” Ramadhaan is a very great favour for the Muslims. This favour can only be considered as such if we appreciate it, otherwise Ramadhaan will come and go without us gaining anything. It is stated in the Hadith, “If my Ummah realize what Ramadhaan really is, they would wish that the whole year be Ramadhaan.” Every person knows that fasting for a full year is a very difficult task, and only because of the great rewards for Ramadhaan mentioned by Rasulullah ⟦AR:a6⟧, will they desire the full year to be Ramadhaan.","In another Hadith we are told, “The fasting of Ramadhaan and fasting three days of every month keeps evil away from the heart.” The Sahaabah (companions) of Rasulullah ⟦AR:a7⟧ used to fast even during jihaad and on tiresome journeys, in spite of getting permission from Rasulullah ⟦AR:a8⟧ not to fast. Finally, Rasulullah ⟦AR:a9⟧ had to instruct them not to fast. Imaam Muslim (rahmatullahi alaih) reports that once the Sahaabah ⟦AR:a10⟧ were on a journey for Jihaad. It was extremely hot and due to poverty, they did not even have a cloth for shade to protect themselves against the heat. In this condition, when they stopped at one place, many of them used their hands for shade from the sun. In this condition too, many of them were fasting. They were so overcome with weakness that they could not bear the excessive heat and fell down. Some Sahaabah ⟦AR:a11⟧ fasted throughout the year. There are many Ahaadith in which the blessings of Ramadhaan are explained. It is not possible for me to collect them all here, and if I am to narrate and explain them all in detail, then the readers may find it too lengthy and difficult. However, now is the time to refresh our mind with them. After all, we do not have to explain how disinterested we have become in our Deen. It is self-evident. I have mentioned only twenty-one Ahaadith in this book and have divided them into three chapters.","a) Chapter one, on the (Ten Ahaadith)","b) Chapter two, on Laylatul Qadr (Seven Ahaadith)","c) Chapter three, on Itikaaf (Three Ahaadith)","In conclusion, at the end of this book, I have included one long Hadith. May Allah Ta’ala accept this work through His Grace and the blessings of His beloved Nabi Muhammad ⟦AR:a12⟧ and grant me and all the Muslims hidaayah to derive benefit from it. Most surely He encompasses all Good, is Generous and Most Kind. Aameen.","cfront\u002Fs1","cfront",{"number":1390,"title":1391,"sections":1392,"id":1548},1,"THE VIRTUES OF RAMADHAAN",[1393,1429,1450,1460,1468,1484,1496,1508,1516,1536],{"number":1394,"title":1395,"kind":76,"paragraphs":1396,"id":1428},"1","THE KHUTBAH OF RASULULLAH ⟦AR:a13⟧ ON THE LAST DAY OF SHA’BAAN",[1397,1398,1399,1400,1401,1402,1403,1404,1405,1406,1407,1408,1409,1410,1411,1412,1413,1414,1415,1416,1417,1418,1419,1420,1421,1422,1423,1424,1425,1426,1427],"⟦AR:a14⟧","Hadhrat Salmaan ⟦AR:a19⟧ says that on the last day of Sha’baan, Rasulullah ⟦AR:a20⟧ spoke to us and said: “O People, there comes to you now a great month, a most blessed month, in which there is a night greater in value and goodness than a thousand months. It is a month in which Allah Ta’ala has made fasting fardh during the day and has made Sunnah the Taraaweeh Salaah at night. Whosoever wants to be close to Allah Ta’ala by doing any good deed, for such a person there shall be the reward like the one who had performed a fardh in any other time and whoever performs a fardh, shall be given the reward of seventy faraaidh in any other time. This is indeed the month of patience and the reward for true patience is Jannah. It is the month of showing kindness to everyone. It is the month in which a true believer’s rizq (food, money, etc.) are increased. Whosoever feeds a fasting person in order to break the fast at the time of iftaar, for him there shall be forgiveness of sins and freedom from the fire of Jahannam and he shall receive the same reward as the fasting person (whom he fed) without the fasting person losing any reward. Thereupon we said, ‘O Messenger of Allah Ta’ala, not all of us can afford to give a fasting person something to break his fast with.’ Rasulullah ⟦AR:a21⟧ replied, ‘Allah Ta’ala gives the same reward to the one who gives a fasting person to break the fast, just one date or a drink of water or a sip of milk.’ This is a month, the first of which brings the mercy of Allah Ta’ala, the middle of which brings His forgiveness and the last of which brings freedom from the fire of Jahannam. Whosoever lessons the work of his workers (who are also fasting in this month), Allah Ta’ala will forgive him and free him from the fire of Jahannam. In this month four things you should perform in great number, two of which shall be to please Allah Ta’ala, while the other two shall be those which you cannot do without. Those which shall be to please Allah Ta’ala, are that you should recite the Kalimah Tayyibah -Laailaaha illallah (i.e. To bear witness that there is no god except Allah Ta’ala) abundantly and to recite istighfaar (beg for the forgiveness of Allah Ta’ala by saying Astaghfirullah). And as for those which you cannot do without; you should beg of Allah Ta’ala for entrance into Jannah and ask protection in Him from Jahannam. And whoever gives a fasting person water to drink, Allah Ta’ala shall grant him to drink from my fountain, such a drink, after which that person shall never feel thirsty again until he enters Jannah.”","Note: Muhadditheen have some reservations regarding some of the narrators of this Hadith. However, in aspects of Fazaail (Virtues), such reservations can be tolerated. Secondly, all the points in this Hadith have been explained in many other Ahaadith on the great rewards of Ramadhaan. Quite a number of important points are brought to our notice.","Rasulullah ⟦AR:a22⟧ gave this lecture at the end of Sha’baan, because he wanted to show us the great importance of Ramadhaan so that we do not allow one second of this month to go to waste. Thereafter our attention is drawn to Laylatul Qadr (this is discussed in detail in the section on Laylatul Qadr). Then attention is drawn to the fact that Fasting has been made fardh by Allah Ta’ala who has also made sunnah the Taraaweeh Salaah at night.","From this Hadith we learn that the command for Taraaweeh Salaah too comes from Allah Ta’ala Himself. Besides this, in all the Ahaadith where Rasulullah ⟦AR:a23⟧ says, “I have made it Sunnah,” is to stress its importance. All the Ulama are agreed upon the fact that Taraaweeh is Sunnah. It is written in Burhaan that no one rejects this besides the Shias.","Moulana Shah Abdul Haq Muhaddith Dehlawi (rahmatullahi alayh) in his book, ‘Maa Sabata bis Sunnah’, states that if the people of any town do not perform Taraaweeh Salaah, the Muslim ruler should make them do so by force.","Many people say that you may listen to the full Qur-aan being read in a certain Masjid in eight or ten nights and then stop performing Taraaweeh with jamaat as the Sunnah will have been fulfilled. This is wrong, because by doing this, only one Sunnah will be fulfilled and the other will be neglected. We should remember that there are two separate Sunnats. Firstly, it is Sunnah to hear the full Qur-aan being read in the Taraaweeh in Ramadhaan. Secondly, it is Sunnah to perform Taraaweeh Salaah with jamaat for men in the Masjid for the entire Ramadhaan. Both the Sunnats should be fulfilled.","For those who are musaafir (travelling) and are unable to fulfil both the Sunnats, because of not knowing as to the different places they will be at during their travels, then for them it is advisable that they should complete the full Quraan Shareef in Taraaweeh in the first few days of Ramadhaan. Thereafter they should perform Taraaweeh wherever they find the opportunity. In this way the Qur-aan will be completed and their work will also not be hampered.","Another point we learn in the Hadith is that Rasulullah ⟦AR:a24⟧ told us that any nafl done in Ramadhaan is rewarded as much as a fardh in normal times and a fardh done in Ramadhaan has the reward of seventy faraaidh in other times.","Here we should ponder over our ibaadah. Is our ibaadah or worship in Ramadhaan important to us? How many nawaafil do we perform? As far as our fardh is concerned, how many people do we see who after having eaten sehri, go back to bed without performing the Fajr Salaah. Many people do perform fajr, but not with jamaat. How do we show our thanks to Allah Ta’ala for the food we had eaten for sehri by not performing the most important fardh or by not performing it with jamaat. Such a Salaah is (not complete and) considered as defective. Rasulullah ⟦AR:a25⟧ said: “There is no Salaah for those near the Masjid except in the Masjid.” In the kitaab ‘Mazhaahir-e-Haq’ it is mention that there is no reward for a person who does not perform his Salaah with jamaat without any good reason or excuse. Similarly, in many cases at the time of iftaar, Maghrib Salaah is missed and many do not come to the Masjid. From those people who come to the masjid, some miss the first takbeer or the first rakaat. Many people hurry to get over with the Taraaweeh Salaah and perform the Esha Salaah even before the time of Esha sets in. (Some people do not perform their Salaah at all, even in Ramadhaan).","This is the condition of our fardh Salaah in Ramadhaan. Whilst performing one fardh of fasting, three others are destroyed. How often do we see that the time of Zuhr Salaah passes by because we are asleep, while the time of Asr goes by because we are too busy buying, selling or cooking to prepare for iftaar. If such is the case with the faraaidh, then we can imagine how much less importance is given to the nafl actions. One finds that because of sleep, the times of Salaatul Ishraaq (after sunrise) and Salaatud Dhuhaa (before noon) goes by. Then what about Salaatul Awwabeen (just after Maghrib)? Here we find ourselves busy with iftaar and when taking into account the Taraaweeh Salaah after Esha, this Salaah is also neglected. Further, we find that the time for Salaatut Tahajjud is the same as that for sehri, as a result, this too is neglected. One may make a thousand excuses for not finding time for these nawaafil. These are all excuses only for not performing these Salaah.","If you do not wish to do something then you will make up a thousand excuses for it","THE PRACTICE OF MOULANA KHALIL AHMAD SAHARANPURI (RA) DURING RAMADHAAN","We see that there are many who do find the time to engage themselves in ibaadah during these precious moments. I had personally observed my ustaad, Moulana Khalil Ahmad (rahmatullahi alayh), during many a Ramadhaan. He was a weak sickly person and of advanced age but in spite of these difficulties he used to read one and a quarter juz of the Qur-aan in nafl Salaah after Maghrib. Thereafter he used to have meals for about half an hour. After performing all other necessities in preparation for Taraaweeh Salaah, he used to stand in Taraaweeh for about two and a half hours when he was in India, and when he was in Madinah Munawwarah the duration was three hours. Thereafter he used to sleep for about two or three hours (depending on the season). Then he used to again recite the Qur-aan in Tahajjud Saalah until about half an hour before Fajr. He then ate sehri. From sehri until Fajr he remained busy with reciting the Qur-aan or wazifas. With the greyness of dawn he performed Fajr Salaah and thereafter remained in meditation (muraaqabah) until Ishraaq. After having performed Ishraaq he used to write his famous kitaab, ‘Bazlul Majhood’, which is a commentary on Abu Dawood. He would then normally attend to letters and dictating replies up to midday. Then he would rest until Zuhr Salaah. Between Zuhr and Asr he used to recite the Qur-aan. From Asr Salaah until Maghrib he used to be busy with tasbeeh and answering the queries of those who visited him. When he completed ‘Bazlul Majhood’, then part of the morning used to be spent in tilaawah and studying some great Deeni kitaabs, especially ‘Bazlul Majhood’ and ‘Wafa al Wafa’. This was his daily programme for nafl ibaadat throughout the year. However, in Ramadhaan he used to spend a bit more time in his ibaadah, making the rakaats in Salaah longer. For an ordinary person to carry out the daily routine that our pious elders had for Ramadhaan would be difficult.","THE PRACTICE OF SHAIKHUL HIND (RA) DURING RAMADHAAN","Shaikhul Hind Moulana Mahmoodul Hasan (rahmatullahi alayh) used to remain in nafl Salaah from after Taraaweeh until Fajr, while also listening to the Qur-aan recited by various huffaaz one after the other. Moulana Shah Abdurraheem Raipuri remained busy with tilaawah (recitation) of the Qur-aan day and night in Ramadhaan. There was no time for attending to correspondence or meeting visitors. Only his special persons were allowed to wait on him after Taraaweeh for a short period while he drank a cup of tea.","The reason for mentioning the manner in which these pious people spent their Ramadhaan is not that we may just read about it without deriving any benefit or pass a casual remark. Rather it is written with the object that we, in our own way, may build up courage and to the best of our ability try to copy and follow their noble examples. Every pious elder’s program was unique. How wonderful would it be if those who are not occupied and are free (of duties), try their utmost to commit themselves more to ibaadah in this one month after having allowed eleven months of the year go by wasted. As for those who have to report to their offices at eight, nine or ten in the morning; there should be no difficulty for them if they at least spend the time from Fajr until their office hours in reciting the Qur-aan in Ramadhaan. After all, for fulfilling all our necessities we do find time in spite of our office hours. For those who are engaged in farming and are self-employed, nothing prevents them from reciting the Qur-aan on their farms or adjusting their daily routine. As far as the businessmen, shopkeepers and wholesalers are concerned, nothing prevents them from reciting the Qur-aan in Ramadhaan during their business hours or cutting short the trading time in order to make time for Tilaawah.","ALL DIVINE BOOKS WERE REVELAED IN RAMADHAAN","There is a very strong link between Ramadhaan and the Tilaawah of the Qur-aan. Many great divine books of Allah Ta’ala were revealed in this month. Similarly, in this month the Qur-aan Shareef was brought down from the ‘Lowhul Mahfoozh’ (preserved tablet) to the ‘samaaud dunyaa’ (Earthly sky), from where it was revealed in small passages and verses to Rasulullah ⟦AR:a28⟧ in a period of twenty-three years. Nabi Ibrahim (alayhis salaam) received his scriptures on the first and third of this sacred month. Nabi Dawood (alayhis salaam) received the Zaboor on the twelfth or eighteenth. Nabi Moosa (alayhis salaam) received the Towrah on the sixth. Nabi Essa (alayhis salaam) received the Injeel on the twelfth or thirteenth. From this we note the great connection between the divine books of Allah Ta’ala and the month of Ramadhaan. Therefore, as much tilaawah of the Qur-aan Shareef as possible should be made during this month. This was the habit of our Mashaaikh. Jibra-eel (alayhis salaam) would recite the whole Qur-aan to our Nabi ⟦AR:a29⟧ in the month of Ramadhaan. In some reports it is stated that Rasulullah ⟦AR:a30⟧ would recite and Jibra-eel (alayhis salaam) used to listen. By combining these reports, the Ulama have deduced that it is Mustahab to read Qur-aan in such a manner that while one recites, the other listens. Thereafter, another recites while the other listens. So recite the Qur-aan as much as possible. Whatever time remains thereafter should be spent in Ibaadah. Rasulullah ⟦AR:a31⟧ drew our attention to four things and advised us that we should practice on them as much as possible. They are: the recitation of Kalimah Tayyibah, Istighfaar, begging for Jannah and asking safety from Jahannam. Therefore, it will be ones good fortune to spend as much time as possible reciting these. This will be the true appreciation of the teachings of Rasulullah ⟦AR:a32⟧. It is easy in keeping the tongue busy with the recitation of Durood Shareef or ‘Laa Ilaaha illallaah’ while being engaged in our daily works?","⟦AR:a33⟧","“I never forget you, even though I face so many difficulties of life.”","In the same Hadith, Rasulullah ⟦AR:a34⟧ has mentioned a few specialties and etiquettes of this month. Firstly, Ramadhaan is the month of patience. So if great difficulty is experienced in fasting, one should bear it with patience. One should not complain as people are fond of doing during hot days. If by chance sehri is missed out, then too one should not complain. Similarly, should any difficulty or trial be experienced in Taraaweeh Salaah, one should bear it with happiness and not as a burden, otherwise these deeds may possibly be empty of barakah (blessings). When we have avoided the worldly pleasures and given up our eating and drinking, then, for the sake of the pleasure of Allah Ta’ala, then what are these difficulties?","KINDNESS FOR THE POOR & UNFORTUNATE","The Hadith also says that it is the month of sympathy and kindness, especially for the poor and needy. Sympathy should be of a practical nature. When ten things are placed before us for iftaar, at least two or four of them should be set aside for the poor and needy. Actually they Ramadhaan should be treated more favourably, if not, then at least equally, and should certainly be given some food at least. The Sahaabah ⟦AR:a35⟧ were living examples in showing sympathy for the poor and therefore it is our duty to follow or at least try to follow them. As far as sacrifice and sympathy is concerned, only the brave people can follow the examples of the Sahaabah ⟦AR:a36⟧. There are many examples which will leave one astonished. By way of example one incident is narrated, Abu Jahm ⟦AR:a37⟧ relates that, during the battle of Yarmook, he went in search of his cousin, taking with him water in a water bag to give him to drink and also wash his wounds if he was found alive or wounded. He found him lying among the wounded. When I asked him whether he wanted some water, he replied ‘Yes’. At that moment someone near him moaned. My cousin pointed to that person indicating that I should first give him the water. I went to him and found that he too needed water, but just as I was about to give him the water, a third person groaned near him. The second one pointed to this third person, indicating that I should give the third person to drink first. I went to the third person but before he could drink, I found out that he had passed away, I then returned to the second one only to find that he too had passed away. When I came back to my cousin, he too had become a shaheed. This is the type of caring character the Sahaabah ⟦AR:a38⟧ had. They preferred to die thirsty rather than to drink before another Muslim brother. May Allah Ta’ala be pleased with them all and grant us the ability to follow in their footsteps. Aameen. Roohul Bayaan quotes from Imaam Suyuti’s (rahmatullahi alayh) Jaami’us Sagheer and Imam Sakhaawi’s Maqaasid the narration of Hadhrat Ibn Umar ⟦AR:a39⟧ that Nabi ⟦AR:a40⟧ said, “At all times in my Ummah there will be 500 chosen servants and forty abdaal (pious ones, totally devoted to Allah Ta’ala). When anyone of them passes away then immediately he is succeeded by another.” The Sahaabah ⟦AR:a41⟧ inquired, “What are their exclusive deeds?” Rasulullah ⟦AR:a42⟧ replied, “They overlook the injustices of the sinners and show kindness to those who ill treat them, and from the rizq provided for them by Allah Ta’ala, they promote sympathy and graciousness (by spending on the creation of Allah Ta’ala).” Another Hadith says that whoever feeds the hungry, clothes the unclothed and gives shelter to the traveler, Allah Ta’ala shall save him from the terrors of Qiyaamah. Yahya Barmaki (rahmatullahi alayh) would give Imaam Sufyaan Sauri (rahmatullahi alayh) 1000 Dirhams every month, whereupon Imaam Sufyaan (rahmatullahi alayh) used to make sajdah before Allah Ta’ala making dua, “O Allah! Yahya has seen sufficiently to my worldly needs. You see, through Your Great Mercy, to his necessities in the Hereafter.” After the death of Yahya some people saw him in their dreams and on inquiring what had happened to him in the hereafter, he replied: “Through the duas of Sufyaan I have been forgiven by Allah Ta’ala.”","Further, Rasulullah ⟦AR:a43⟧ mentioned the virtue of feeding a fasting person at the time of breaking the fast. In one Hadith it is reported that one who feeds a person out of his Halaal earnings to break the fast, the Malaaikah grant mercy upon him during the nights of Ramadhaan and Jibra-eel (alayhis salaam) shakes his hands on Laylatul Qadr. The sign of this is that his heart becomes soft and tears flow from his eyes. During Ramadhaan, Hammaad bin Salamah, a very famous Muhaddith, would feed fifty people every day at the time of iftaar.","Thereafter, the Hadith of Rasulullah ⟦AR:a44⟧ called the first section (i.e. first ten days) of Ramadhaan the coming of mercy, which means that Allah’s Ta’ala showers His mercy on all the believers. For those who are thankful to Allah Ta’ala for His bounties, they will receive even more. The Qur-aan Shareef says:","⟦AR:a45⟧","“If you are grateful, I will surely grant you more.” (Surah Ibraaheem - Aayah 7) During the second section (i.e. the second ten days) of Ramadhaan, forgiveness begins to come down as a reward for fasting during the first section. The last section (i.e. the last ten days) of Ramadhaan brings protection from entrance into Jahannam. This is supported by many Ramadhaan similar Ahaadith. In my personal opinion, Ramadhaan has been divided into three sections because people are normally of three different types. Firstly, there are those who have no sins. They receive Allah Ta’ala’s Mercy and Bounties from the very beginning of Ramadhaan. Secondly, there are those whose sins are not too much. They receive forgiveness after one third of Ramadhaan has passed. Thirdly, there are the real sinners. They receive forgiveness after having fasted most of Ramadhaan. Those who received Allah Ta’ala’s mercy right at the beginning are the most fortunate ones because of the great amount of mercy they have received. (And Allah Ta’ala knows best).","Another point mentioned in the Ahaadith is that employers should be merciful to their workers (employees) in Ramadhaan because, after all, they are also fasting. Unnecessary hard work or too much of it will be difficult for them. An extra worker should be hired when the work is too much. That of course, only applies when the employee himself is fasting; otherwise there is no difference for them between Ramadhaan and any other month. Words cannot describe the position of the shameless and oppressive employer who himself does not fast and unnecessarily burdens his employees with extra work, and if there is any delay caused by the employee due to Salaah or fasting, then he is outraged. Regarding such persons the Qur-aan states;","⟦AR:a46⟧","“And soon the oppressor will come to know where his abode is. (In Jahannam)” (Surah Shua’raa - Aayah 227) Lastly, Rasulullah ⟦AR:a47⟧ encouraged four things in the Hadith that should be repeated constantly. Firstly, the recitation of Kalimah Tayyibah, which in the Ahaadith is called the highest form of zikr. In ‘Mishkaat’, Abu Saeed Khudri ⟦AR:a48⟧ reports: “Once Nabi Moosa (alayhis salaam) begged Allah Ta’ala to grant him a special zikr by which he can remember Allah Ta’ala and also (by which he could) ask from Him in dua. Allah Ta’ala told him to recite the Kalimah Tayyibah. Sayyidina Moosa (alayhis salaam) said, ‘O Allah! This is a zikr recited by all your servants, I wish for a special zikr.’ Allah Ta’ala replied, ‘O Moosa, if the seven heavens, the earth and all its occupants including the Malaaikah but excluding Myself (i.e. excluding Allah Ta’ala Himself) are placed on one side of a scale and this Kalimah on the other side, then this Kalimah will weigh heavier than everything else.” In another Hadith it is stated, “Should anyone sincerely recite this Kalimah, the doors of Jannah open up immediately for him and nothing can stop him from reaching Allah Ta’ala’s arsh (throne).” The only condition is that the reciter should stay away from major sins. Allah Ta’ala's system is that He grants our basic needs in abundance. We see all over the world that whatever is generally required is found in abundance. For example, water, which is a basic necessity, has been made common by Allah Ta’ala in His infinite mercy, and how uncommon He has made the useless art of alchemy. The Kalimah Tayyibah is the most excellent form of zikr. Allah Ta’ala has made it common for everybody, so that no one is deprived of it. Therefore, if any person is deprived of it, it is his own fault. There are many Ahaadith showing its rewards which I have left out for the sake of brevity. The second thing which should be recited plentifully is istighfaar. The Ahaadith report many rewards of istighfaar. In one Hadith we read, “Whoever makes abundant Istighfaar, Allah Ta’ala opens a way out for him from all problems and removes all sadness from him. He also receives rizq (food, money, etc.) from unexpected places.” In another Hadith, Rasulullah ⟦AR:a49⟧ said, “Every man is a sinner, but the best among the sinners are those who make taubah and ask for forgiveness.” In one Hadith it is mentioned, “When a man commits a sin, a black spot forms on his heart, but when he asks for forgiveness, it is washed away, if not, then the black spot remains.” Thereafter, Rasulullah ⟦AR:a50⟧ commanded us to beg two things which we cannot do without. Firstly to beg Allah Ta’ala for entrance into Jannah and secondly to ask for protection in Him from Jahannam. May Allah Ta’ala grant us this good fortune. (Aameen)","c1\u002Fs1",{"number":1430,"title":1431,"kind":76,"paragraphs":1432,"id":1449},"2","FIVE SPECIAL THINGS GIVEN TO THE UMMAH OF RASULULLAH",[1433,1434,1435,1436,1437,1438,1439,1440,1441,1442,1443,1444,1445,1446,1447,1448],"⟦AR:a52⟧","Hadhrat Abu Hurairah ⟦AR:a56⟧ says that Rasulullah ⟦AR:a57⟧ said, “My Ummah has been given five special things in Ramadhaan that were not given to anyone before them. The smell from the mouth of a fasting person is sweeter to Allah Ta’ala than the sweet smell of musk. The fish in the sea continue asking for forgiveness for them until they break their fast. Allah Ta’ala prepares and decorates Jannah every day for them and then says: ‘The time is near when My pious servants shall throw away the trials (of the world) and come to you.’ The evil shayaateen are chained up in the month of Ramadhaan so as not to take people towards evils which they normally do during other months. On the last night of Ramadhaan, the fasting Muslims are forgiven.” The Sahaabah ⟦AR:a58⟧ then asked, “O Rasulullah ⟦AR:a59⟧, is that the night of Laylatul Qadr?” Rasulullah ⟦AR:a60⟧ replied, “No, but it is only right that a servant should be given his reward on having completed his duty.”","Note: Rasulullah ⟦AR:a61⟧ has mentioned in this Hadith five gifts from Allah Ta’ala which were not granted to the (fasting) people before Islam. If only we could truly appreciate how great this gift from Allah Ta’ala really is, we will sincerely try to get these special favours.","First, we are told that the smell from the mouth of the fasting person is more pleasing to Allah Ta’ala than the smell of musk. The commentators of Hadith have mentioned eight opinions in this regard which I have explained in detail in the commentary of ‘Muatta’ but according to this humble soul there are three most acceptable explanations in this regard: Some say that, in the Aakhirah (Hereafter), Allah Ta’ala shall reward that smell from the mouth with a pleasant smell which is sweeter and more refreshing than musk. This opinion is quite clear and is supported by another narration in Durre Mansoor. The second opinion is that on the day of Qiyaamah when we shall rise from our graves, a sweet smell shall come from the mouths of those who fasted and that shall be better than musk.","The third opinion which is most acceptable to me, is the opinion that in this very world the smell is more pleasing to Allah Ta’ala than musk. This shows the love between Allah Ta’ala and His fasting slaves. We all know that even a bad smell from a person whom one loves truly and sincerely, is in itself attractive to the lover, who in this case is Allah Ta’ala Himself. What is being shown here is how close to Allah Ta’ala a fasting person is.","O Poor Hafiz, what will you do with the musk of khutan Enjoy the fragrance of Jannah from the tresses of Ahmad ⟦AR:a64⟧","Fasting is one of the most pleasing forms of ibaadah in the sight of Allah Ta’ala and for this reason a Hadith states that for every deed the reward is brought by the Malaaikah, but Allah Ta’ala says, “The reward for fasting, I Myself will give, because it is for Me alone.” Another report of the same Hadith (when read in a different way) says; “I Myself become his reward.” What greater reward can there be for the lover than to meet the Beloved? In another Hadith we read, “Fasting is the door to all other forms of ibaadah of Allah Ta’ala.” This means that the heart becomes illuminated and a person is able to perform other forms of ibaadah through fasting. This is only the case if the fast is kept properly (as shall be explained later), and is not merely remaining hungry and thirsty.","Ramadhaan At this juncture I wish to draw attention to one point. Because of this Hadith some Imaams (especially Imaam Shafi’ee) prohibited cleansing of the teeth with miswaak in the afternoon, whereas the Hanafis consider it to be mustahab at all times. The Imaam’s reason is that, through miswaak, the smell from the teeth is removed. The odour referred to here is the smell resulting from the stomach being empty, having nothing to do with miswaak.","The second special favour is that the fish in the sea ask for forgiveness for the person who fasts. The purpose here is to explain that many living things make dua for him. This has been already explained in many other Ahaadith. In some narrations it is mentioned that the Malaaikah make dua for his forgiveness. My uncle, Moulana Muhammad Ilyaas Saahib (rahmatullahi alayh), used to say that this is so because Allah Ta’ala says in the Qur-aan Shareef,","⟦AR:a65⟧","“Certainly those who believe and do righteous deeds, Allah Ta’ala shall make them beloved (in this world)” (Surah Maryam – Aayah 96) One Hadith explains this further, “When Allah Ta’ala loves a person, He says to the angel Jibra-eel (alayhis salaam), ‘I love that person, so you also love him.’ Jibra-eel (alayhis salaam) then also loves that person and announces in the first heaven that, ‘That person is loved by Allah Ta’ala, you all should also love him.’ Then all the creations of the heavens begin to love him. Then, love for that person spreads all over the earth.” Normally only those who are near to a person seem to love him, but here that love spreads all over, even the animals in the jungle and the fish in the sea do the same. They all then make dua on his behalf.","The third favour given to the fasting persons is that Jannah is decorated for them. The Hadith states that at the beginning of every year, Jannah begins to be decorated for Ramadhaan. We know that when an important person is expected to arrive, great care is taken in the preparations for his welcome. For example, in a marriage, preparations start months in Ramadhaan advance, likewise it should be the same with Ramadhaan. The fourth favour is that evil shayaateen are chained, as a result of which evil becomes much less. One would have expected that, because of the great desire for Ibaadah of Allah Ta’ala in the blessed month of Ramadhaan, the shayaateen would try just as hard to mislead the faithful away from the right path, so that much more evil would be committed. That is not the case. Instead we see so much less evil. How many drunkards we see that just because of the blessed month of Ramadhaan, do not drink alcohol. How many other sinners we see giving up evil acts during the mubaarak month of Ramadhaan.","Committing sins during the month of Ramadhaan does not contradict the meaning of the Hadith, because the Hadith mentions only the rebellious shayaateen. Therefore, sin could be committed due to the influence of the non-rebellious shayaateen. In some Ahaadith the chaining of the shayaateen is general, but this could be explained by those Ahaadith in which the rebellious shayaateen is mentioned. You may wonder that, when the shayaateen are chained, how is it possible that we still see sins being committed, even though in lesser amounts? The reply to this is that all evil may not necessarily be caused by the evil shayaateen. A person who had lived for eleven months in obedience to the wishes of the shayaateen and, as a result, the doing of evil actions became a habit; therefore, evil is committed by him both in Ramadhaan and also out of Ramadhaan. For this reason, we find that those who normally commit sins, continue to do some of it in Ramadhaan. Thus, even though the shayaateen have been chained, their effect on us has become so strong that we follow their ways from our own side even in Ramadhaan. Another important point is that Nabi ⟦AR:a66⟧ has said, “When a person commits a sin, a black spot forms on his heart, but when he sincerely makes taubah (repents), it is removed, otherwise it remains. When he again commits a sin another spot forms (and so on), until his heart becomes completely black. Then nothing good can enter his heart.” Referring to this, Allah Ta’ala says in the Qur-aan Shareef,","⟦AR:a67⟧","Ramadhaan “Never! But on their heart is the stain (of evil).” (Surah Muthaffifeen – Aayah 14) When their hearts become totally stained, then these hearts are obviously attracted towards sins. This is the reason why many people commit one type of sin without any fear, but when thinking of another similar sin, then their hearts stop them from committing it. For example, if those people who drink wine are told to eat pork, they would hate it, whereas these two evils are equally sinful. Similarly, the heart is stained by committing these sins out of Ramadhaan, thus resulting in these sins being done even without any action of the shayaateen in Ramadhaan. If we take the meaning of the Hadith to mean that all the shayaateen are locked up in Ramadhaan, then too we are aware as to why a person commits sins in Ramadhaan. If it means that it is only the evil shayaateen that are locked up, then it is obvious as to why sins are committed. My personal opinion is that not all the shayaateen are chained, but only the most evil ones. All of us can see that in Ramadhaan, it does not require a great amount of effort and energy to perform a good act. It also does not need a great amount of self-control and effort to avoid sin, as in other times. Shah Muhammad Ishaaq (rahmatullahi alayh) was of the opinion that for the evil people, only the most evil shayaateen are chained, whereas for the pious people, all the shayaateen are chained.","The fifth favour is that forgiveness is granted on the last night of Ramadhaan (See previous Hadith). Because of this great favour, the Sahaabah ⟦AR:a68⟧ thought that this night was Laylatul Qadr. They knew the great blessings of that night and therefore asked whether it was Laylatul Qadr. The reply was that it was not. This is just a favour granted for having fasted till the end of Ramadhaan.","c1\u002Fs2",{"number":1451,"title":1452,"kind":76,"paragraphs":1453,"id":1459},"3","THE CURSE OF JIBRA-EEL (ALAYHIS SALAAM) AND THE AAMEEN OF RASULULLAH ⟦AR:a69⟧",[1454,1455,1456,1457,1458],"⟦AR:a70⟧","Hadhrat Ka’b Ibn Ujrah ⟦AR:a75⟧ says that Rasulullah ⟦AR:a76⟧ said, “Come close to the mimbar.” We came close to the mimbar. When He climbed the first step of the mimbar, He said “Aameen”. When He climbed the second step, He said “Aameen”. When He climbed the third step, He said “Aameen”. When He came down, we said “O Rasul of Allah ⟦AR:a77⟧, today we have heard from you something which we had never heard before.” Rasulullah ⟦AR:a78⟧ said, “When I climbed the first step, Jibra-eel (alayhis salaam) appeared before me and said, “Destruction to the person who found the blessed month of Ramadhaan and let it pass by without gaining his forgiveness,” I said “Aameen.” When I climbed the second step, he said, “Destruction to the person before whom your (i.e. Nabi’s ⟦AR:a79⟧) name is taken and he does not send Durood and Salaam on you (for example by saying, Sallallahu alayhi wasallam).” I replied “Aameen.” When I climbed the third step, he said, “Destruction on that person in whose lifetime both his parents or either one of them reaches old age, and (because of not serving them) he is not allowed to enter Jannah.” I said “Aameen.”","Note: In this Hadith, Jibra-eel (alayhis salaam) made three curses, upon which Rasulullah ⟦AR:a80⟧ said “Aameen” each time. In ‘al Durrul Mansoor’, it is said that Jibra-eel (alayhis salaam) asked Rasulullah ⟦AR:a81⟧ to say ‘Aameen’. The curses of Jibra-eel (alayhis salaam), an angel of such high position, are sure to be accepted. May Allah Ta’ala, in His mercy, grant us His help and save us from these three curses. The first person described above is he who, even in the blessed month of Ramadhaan, spends his days in sin and does not worry about his duties, as a result of which he does not receive forgiveness. Ramadhaan is the month of Allah Ta’ala’s mercy and if even this month is spent carelessly, how can he expect to be forgiven for his sins? If he cannot gain Allah Ta’ala’s forgiveness in Ramadhaan, then when will he do so? The way to seek Allah Ta’ala’s forgiveness for his sins is to complete his duties in Ramadhaan as ordered by Allah Ta’ala, such as fasting, reading Taraaweeh Salaah and making abundant taubah and istighfaar. The second unfortunate person is he who hears the name of Rasulullah ⟦AR:a82⟧ and does not send Durood and Salaam on him. For this reason, some Ulama consider it compulsory to recite Durood whenever the name of Muhammad ⟦AR:a83⟧ is mentioned. In some Ahaadith, the person who fails to do so is called unfortunate and stingy.","Such people are described as those who are disloyal and of those who would lose the way to Jannah, or even among those who will enter Jahannam or those who will not be allowed to look at the blessed face of Rasulullah ⟦AR:a84⟧. The Ulama give us many meanings to these Ahaadith. But who can deny that not sending Durood and Salaam on Nabi ⟦AR:a85⟧ is indeed very severe. Why should it not be? After all, the favours on us by Rasulullah ⟦AR:a86⟧ cannot be described neither our writings nor our lectures. His favours on us are very very great. Therefore, any warning for the neglect of sending Durood and Salaam on Nabi ⟦AR:a87⟧ is acceptable. On the other hand, the reward for reciting Durood is very great. The Hadith teaches us that whosoever recites Durood once, Allah Ta’ala sends ten blessings on him and the Malaaikah make dua for him. All his sins are forgiven, his position is raised and his reward will be as big as mount Uhud, and on the day of Qiyaamah, the Shafaa’at of Rasulullah ⟦AR:a88⟧ (asking Allah Ta’ala to forgive him) will become waajib.","More promises of reward are: Obtaining Allah Ta’ala’s happiness, mercy and safety against His anger, safety from the fears of Qiyaamah, seeing your abode in Jannah while still alive on this earth. There are many virtues promised for reading Durood shareef in specific numbers. Besides these, there is the promise of never being worried about poverty and of enjoying nearness to Rasulullah ⟦AR:a89⟧, the promise of help against our enemies, cleansing the heart from rust and hypocrisy, and the promise of being loved by others. There are many other Ahaadith that explain the virtues of reciting Durood Shareef abundantly. The Fuqaha have explained that it is compulsory to recite Durood at least once in a lifetime and all the Ulama are agreed upon this fact. However, some Ulama say that Durood Shareef must be recited whenever the name of Rasulullah ⟦AR:a90⟧ is mentioned while others say it is preferable. The third person described in the Hadith above is he in whose lifetime either one or both of his parents reach old age, and he is deprived of Jannah by not serving them. The Ulama have stated that in every permissible act, it is compulsory to obey your parent’s commands. You should not be disrespectful to them, but rather be humble towards them, even though they may be non-muslims. You must neither raise your voice above theirs, nor call them by their names. They should be given the preference to do anything before you, (viz. eating, walking, sitting, etc.). When they have to be called towards good and stopped from evil, it should be done gently and you should continue to make dua for them even if they refuse to accept. In short, at all times they should be honored and respected and dua for their guidance should be made. In a Hadith it is also related that the best of doors for entering Jannah is the father. If you wish, look after it and if you wish, destroy it. A Sahaabi ⟦AR:a91⟧ asked Rasulullah ⟦AR:a92⟧, “What are the rights due to parents?” He replied, “They are your Jannah or your Jahannam!” i.e. if they are happy, it leads you to Jannah while their unhappiness leads you to Jahannam. It is stated in a Hadith that when an obedient son looks with love and affection at his parents, the reward for that look shall be an accepted Hajj. In another Hadith, it is stated that Allah Ta’ala forgives all sins as He pleases except the sin of shirk (i.e. joining partners with Allah Ta’ala). However, He punishes a person for being disobedient to his parents, right in this world before death. A Sahaabi ⟦AR:a93⟧ said, “O Rasul of Allah ⟦AR:a94⟧, I want to go for Jihaad.” Rasulullah ⟦AR:a95⟧ asked, “Is your mother alive?” “Yes,” he replied. Rasulullah ⟦AR:a96⟧ then said, “Serve her, Jannah lies under her feet.” Again, another Hadith says, “The pleasure of Allah Ta’ala is in pleasing your father, and Allah Ta’ala’s displeasure is in displeasing your father.” Many other Ahaadith explain their great rights and virtues However, if one’s parents were not respected and treated properly during their lifetime and have now passed away, according to the shariat, there is still something that their children can do. The Hadith teaches us that, in such cases, one should always make abundant dua for their forgiveness. By doing so, you will be counted among those who are obedient. Another Hadith says that the best action a person can do after the death of his father is to treat his friends in a friendly manner (just as the father would have done).","c1\u002Fs3",{"number":1461,"title":1462,"kind":76,"paragraphs":1463,"id":1467},"4","SHOW ALLAH TA’ALA YOUR GOOD DEEDS IN RAMADHAAN",[1464,1465,1466],"⟦AR:a97⟧","Hadhrat Ubaadah bin Saamit ⟦AR:a101⟧ reports that, one day when Ramadhaan had come near, Rasulullah ⟦AR:a102⟧ said: “Ramadhaan, the month of blessings has come upon you, wherein Allah Ta’ala turns towards you and sends to you His special blessings, forgives your faults, accepts your duas, appreciates your competing for the greatest good and boasts to the Malaaikah about you.

In one Hadith, we read that the dua is accepted at the time of breaking the fast, but we are generally so busy with our iftaar, that we miss this opportunity of making dua. Sometimes even the dua for breaking the fast is also often forgotten. The famous dua at the time of iftaar is:","⟦AR:a109⟧","“Allaahumma laka sumto wa bika aamantu wa alayka tawakkaltu wa alaa rizqika aftar tu”","“O Allah for You have I fasted, in You do I believe, and on You do I rely, and now I break this fast with food coming from You.” Hadhrat Abdullah Ibn Amr ⟦AR:a110⟧ used to make the following dua when breaking the fast:","⟦AR:a111⟧","“Allaa-humma innee as’aluka bi-rahmatikallatee wasi at kulla shay in an taghfira lee” “O Allah, I beg You, through Your infinite mercy, which surrounds all things, to forgive me.” In some books we read that Rasulullah ⟦AR:a112⟧ used to say:","⟦AR:a113⟧","“Yaa waasi al-fadli-igh-fir lee” “O most bountiful, forgive me.” Ramadhaan There are many other duas for breaking the fast, but no special dua is fixed. The time when breaking the fast is a time when duas are accepted. So ask Allah Ta’ala and put all your needs before Him, and if you remember, then make dua for me also.","If I enjoy even one glance of your mercy, it will be your grace and my work will be done.","c1\u002Fs5",{"number":1485,"title":1486,"kind":76,"paragraphs":1487,"id":1495},"6","THREE PEOPLE WHOSE DUA IS SURELY ACCEPTED",[1488,1489,1490,1491,1492,1493,1494],"⟦AR:a117⟧","Hadhrat Abu Hurairah ⟦AR:a119⟧ reports that Rasulullah ⟦AR:a120⟧ said: “There are three people whose dua is not rejected: the fasting person until he breaks his fast, the just ruler and the oppressed person, whose dua Allah Ta’ala lifts above the clouds and opens to it the doors of the skies and Allah Ta’ala says, ‘I swear by my honor, verily, I shall assist you, even though it may be after some time.’”","Note: In Durre Manssor it is reported from Hadhrat Aa’ishah ⟦AR:a121⟧ that, when Ramadhaan came, the colour of Rasulullah’s ⟦AR:a122⟧ face used to change. He then used to increase his Salaah, become even more humble in his dua and be more fearful of Allah Ta’ala. According to another report, he hardly ever lay down in bed until Ramadhaan came to an end. It is stated in a Hadith that the Malaaikah carrying Allah Ta’ala’s throne are commanded in Ramadhaan to leave everything else and say ‘Aameen’ to the duas of those who fast. There are many Ahaadith stating that duas in Ramadhaan in particular are answered. When Allah Ta’ala has given us His promise and His truthful Nabi ⟦AR:a123⟧ has informed us about it, then there should be no doubt whatsoever about the truth of these promises. Yet it is strange that, in spite of these promises, we still find people who do not get what they ask for when making dua. This does not mean that their dua has been rejected. We should understand what is meant by a dua being answered. Rasulullah ⟦AR:a124⟧ has told us that when a Muslim makes dua for anything from Allah Ta’ala, as long as he does not make dua for breaking off relationship from his near relatives or for anything sinful, then he definitely receives one of the following three things:","1. He gets the exact thing which he asked for. If he does not receive this, then;","2. Allah Ta’ala either removes from him some great difficulty or problem in exchange for what he had asked for,","3. Or the reward for that thing which he made dua for is stored for him in the Aakhirah (Hereafter).","Another Hadith it is mentioned that on the day of Qiyaamah, Allah Ta’ala will call his slave and say to him: “O My slave, I used to command you to ask of Me and promised to answer. Did you beg of Me?” The slave will answer: “Yes I did.” Then Allah Ta’ala shall reply: “You did not make any dua which has not been accepted. You made dua that a certain problem should be removed, which I did for you in the worldly life. You made dua that a certain sorrow and grief should be removed from you, but the result of that dua was not known to you in the world. For that dua I have fixed for you such and such reward (in the Aakhirah).” Rasulullah ⟦AR:a125⟧ says that the man shall again be reminded of each and every dua and he shall be shown how it had been answered in the world or else what reward had been stored for him in the Aakhirah (Hereafter). On seeing that reward in the Aakhirah (Hereafter), he shall wish that not a single dua of his should have been answered in the world, so that he could receive the full rewards only in the Aakhirah (Hereafter). Yes, dua is indeed very important and to leave it out at any time is indeed a great loss. Hope should not be lost, even when it seems that our dua is not accepted. From the long Hadith at the end of this book, it is clear that, in accepting duas, Allah Ta’ala first considers our own good and welfare. Should Allah Ta’ala find that giving us what we ask from Him is for our own good, then He gives it to us, otherwise holds it back. Actually, it is Allah Ta’ala’s favour on us that we do not always get what we ask for, because, very often, due to our lack of understanding, we beg for things that are not good for us at a certain time. Here, another important point needs to be made; many men and especially women have a bad habit of cursing their children in their anger. We should be aware of this, because there are certain times when Allah Ta’ala immediately accepts whatever dua is made. Therefore, due to our own stupidity, the child is cursed and when the effect of that same curse comes upon the child and lands him into difficulties, the parents then go about crying and complaining, not even realizing that this is the result of their own curse. Rasulullah ⟦AR:a126⟧ commanded us not to curse ourselves, our children, things that we own, or our servants. It is just possible that we curse someone at a time when duas are answered, especially in Ramadhaan, which is full of such special moments of acceptance. Hence, in this month great care should be taken. Hadhrat Umar ⟦AR:a127⟧ says that Rasulullah ⟦AR:a128⟧ said, “Whosoever remembers Allah Ta’ala in Ramadhaan, is definitely forgiven, and one who asks for a favour from Allah Ta’ala, is not refused.” Hadhrat Abdullah ibn Masood ⟦AR:a129⟧ says that on every night of Ramadhaan, an angel from the heavens calls out: “O You seeker of good, come near, O You seeker of evil, turn away (from evil) and open your eyes.” Thereafter, that angel calls out: “Is there any seeker of forgiveness, that he may be forgiven? Is there anyone making taubah so that Allah Ta’ala accepts his taubah? Is there anyone making dua, so that his dua may be heard? Is there anyone wanting anything, so that his wish may be granted?” Lastly, it should be remembered that there are certain conditions under which duas are accepted. Without these, duas may often be rejected. Among these is not consuming haraam food; when haraam food is eaten, then our duas are not accepted. Rasulullah ⟦AR:a130⟧ said: “Many a time a person who is in problems and difficulties lifts up his hands to the heavens, making dua and crying out: ‘O Allah! O Allah!’ but the food he eats is forbidden by Allah Ta’ala, what he drinks is forbidden and his clothes had been earned by haraam means, then in such a case how can his dua ever be accepted?” A story is related about a group of people in Kufa, whose dua would always be accepted. Whenever a cruel ruler was put over them, they used to make dua for a curse upon him, which quickly came to destroy him. When the oppressive Hajjaaj became the ruler there, he invited these people to a meal. After they had all eaten, he said to them: “I am no longer afraid of the curse upon me from these people, because haraam (forbidden) food has now entered their stomachs.” Let us think over how many things, forbidden (made haraam) by Allah Ta’ala, are being consumed in these times. People are even trying to make the taking of interest permissible. We find people going so far as to think that bribery and what is obtained through it is permissible, whilst our businessmen very often think it okay to cheat and deceive people when doing business.","c1\u002Fs6",{"number":1497,"title":1498,"kind":76,"paragraphs":1499,"id":1507},"7","THE IMPORTANCE OF SEHRI (THE MEAL BEFORE DAWN)",[1500,1501,1502,1503,1504,1505,1506],"⟦AR:a131⟧","Hadhrat Ibn Umar ⟦AR:a134⟧ says that, Rasulullah ⟦AR:a135⟧ said: “Verily Allah Ta’ala and His Malaaikah send blessings upon those who eat Sehri.”","Note: How great is Allah Ta’ala’s favour upon us that even eating sehri before dawn for fasting is so greatly rewarded. There are many Ahaadith in which the rewards of sehri are explained. Allamah Ainee (rahmatullahi alayh), a famous Aalim, has quoted the rewards of sehri from seventeen different Sahaabah ⟦AR:a136⟧ and there is ijmaa’ on its being mustahab. Many people lose this great reward because of their own laziness. Some people, after finishing the Taraaweeh Salaah, eat some food in place of sehri and go to bed. What great blessing do they lose! Sehri actually means food eaten shortly before dawn. Some Ulama say that the time for sehri starts after midnight. The author of ‘Al-Kashshaaf (Az-Zamakhsharee)’ has divided the night into six parts, saying that the last one of these is the time of sehri. Therefore, when the night (from sunset till dawn) lasts twelve hours, then the last two hours would be the correct time for sehri. It must also be remembered that to eat at the last permissible time is better and greater in reward than eating earlier, on condition that sehri is completed before the time of dawn. The virtues of sehri are mentioned in many Ahaadith Rasulullah ⟦AR:a137⟧ said, “The difference between our fasting and that of the Ahl-e-Kitaab (Jews and Christians) is that we eat sehri and they do not.” Nabi ⟦AR:a138⟧ has said, “Eat sehri, because in it lies great blessings.”","In another Hadith it is said, “In three things there are great blessings, in Jamaat (in a group), in eating sareed (a special dish) and in sehri.” In this Hadith the use of the word Jamaat is general (for all actions). It also includes Salaah with Jamaat and all those good actions which are done in a group, as Allah Ta’ala’s help comes to them. Sareed is a type of tasty food, in which baked bread is cooked with gravy and meat.","The third thing this Hadith speaks of is about sehri. When Rasulullah ⟦AR:a139⟧ would invite any of the Sahaabah ⟦AR:a140⟧ to eat sehri with him, he used to say: “Come and eat this blessed food with me.” One Hadith says: “Eat sehri and strengthen yourself for the fast, Sleep in the afternoon (siesta) so that it makes it easy to wake up in the later portion of the night (for the worship of Allah Ta’ala).” Abdullah Ibn Haaris ⟦AR:a141⟧ reports that one of the Sahaabah ⟦AR:a142⟧ said, “I once visited Rasulullah ⟦AR:a143⟧ at a time when he was busy eating sehri.” Rasulullah ⟦AR:a144⟧ then said: “This is a thing that is full of barakah, which Allah Ta’ala has granted you. Do not leave it out.” Rasulullah ⟦AR:a145⟧ often mentioned the importance of sehri to such an extent, that he said: “If there is nothing else, at least eat a date or drink some water.” Therefore, when there are definitely great advantages and reward in sehri, Muslims should never miss the partaking of meals at the time of sehri. However, in all things, moderation (not too less or not too much) is important, and eating more than the required amount is harmful. Neither should so little be eaten that one feels weak while fasting nor should so much be eaten that it causes discomfort (that we burp the whole day). We have been advised not to overeat in many Ahaadith. Ibn Hajar has listed different reasons regarding the barakah (blessings) of sehri: The Sunnah is followed. Through sehri, we separate ourselves from the ways of Ahl-e-Kitaab (Jews and Christians), which we are at all times supposed to do. It provides strength for the ibaadah of Allah Ta’ala. It causes greater concentration in the ibaadah of Allah Ta’ala. It aids in preventing a bad temper, which normally comes about as a result of hunger. Sehri is the time when duas are accepted. At the time of sehri, one gets the opportunity to remember Allah Ta’ala, make zikr and dua. Sharing ones food with the poor and needy, especially those who live close by.","The above are a few major reasons although there are other reasons as well. Ibn Daqeequl Eid (rahmatullahi alayh) says that some Sufis are doubtful whether the eating of sehri is against the object of fasting. They say that the object of fasting is to stay away from food, drink and sexual desires and therefore sehri is against the object of fasting. In my humble opinion, the ideal is to reduce the amount of food eaten at iftaar and sehri. However, the amount to be eaten is different according to different persons and their activities. For example, for those students who are busy studying the knowledge of Deen, too little food at sehri as well as at breaking the fast will be harmful for them. For them it is better not to eat too little, because they are studying Deeni knowledge, which is very important (for the protection and spread of Islam). Similar is the case of those who are busy with zikr and other Deeni activities. Other people who have no hard work to do should eat little at sehri. Once, Rasulullah ⟦AR:a146⟧ announced to those who were going for jihad; “There is no reward in fasting while travelling.” That was in the month of Ramadhaan, in this situation, Jihaad had to be given preference. Of course, when one is doing some work of Deen and eating less does not cause laziness or weakness, then it is best to eat less. Allaama Sharaani (rahmatullahi alayh) mentions in ‘Sharh Iqna’, “A promise was made with us that we shall not fill our stomachs completely when eating especially in the nights of Ramadhaan.” It is better that one should eat less in the nights of Ramadhaan than on other nights. After all, there is little benefit in fasting after having filled oneself at sehri and at iftaar. The pious people have said, “Whoever remains hungry in Ramadhaan shall remain safe from the evil of Shaytaan throughout the year until the next Ramadhaan.” Many other soofiya have also advocated eating less. In the commentary of ‘Ihyaa’, Awaarif (rahmatullahi alayh) quotes that Sahl bin Adullah Tastari (rahmatullahi alayh) would eat only once every fifteen days. While in Ramadhaan he ate only one morsel. In order to follow the Sunnah he used to have a drink of water for sehri and iftaar. Shaikh Junaid (rahmatullahi alayh) used to always fast throughout the year. However, when noble friends used to visit him occasionally, he used to break his nafl fast and eat with them saying, “The reward of breaking fast and eating with such noble friends is not less than nafl fasting.”","Similarly, we can mention the experiences of numerous pious people, who, through eating little food, used to train their inner-selves. But once again we must bear in mind that it should not be carried out to such an extent that our Deeni activities and responsibilities are neglected. (as a result of weakness caused in the body.)","c1\u002Fs7",{"number":1509,"title":1510,"kind":76,"paragraphs":1511,"id":1515},"8","MANY PEOPLE FAST AND WORSHIP AT NIGHT BUT EARN NOTHING BESIDES HUNGER AND LOST SLEEP",[1512,1513,1514],"⟦AR:a147⟧","Hadhrat Abu Hurairah ⟦AR:a150⟧ relates that Rasulullah ⟦AR:a151⟧ said, “Many people who fast, get nothing for their fasting except hunger, and many perform Salaah by night but get nothing by it except the discomfort of staying awake.”","Note: The Ulama have three different interpretations about this Hadith. Firstly, this Hadith may mean that those who fast during the day and then for breaking the fast at iftaar, eat food that is haraam. All the reward for fasting is lost because of the greater sin of eating haraam food and nothing is gained except remaining hungry. Secondly, it may mean those who fast, but during fasting busy themselves in backbiting and falsely accusing others. Thirdly, the person referred to may be the one, who did not stay away from evil and sin while fasting. In this Hadith, all such possibilities are included. Similar is the case of the person performing Salaah the entire night but because of backbiting or any other sinful act (e.g. missing Fajr Salaah or keeping awake for show), loses the reward for his night of ibaadah.","c1\u002Fs8",{"number":1517,"title":1518,"kind":76,"paragraphs":1519,"id":1535},"9","FASTING IS A PROTECTIVE SHIELD",[1520,1521,1522,1523,1524,1525,1526,1527,1528,1529,1530,1531,1532,1533,1534],"⟦AR:a152⟧","Hadhrat Abu Ubaydah ⟦AR:a155⟧ reports, I heard Rasulullah ⟦AR:a156⟧ saying, “Fasting is a protective shield (for a man), as long as he does not tear up that protection.”","Note: “Fasting is a Protective Shield,” (in this Hadith) It means that just as a man protects himself with a shield, similarly fasting protects him from his enemy, Shaytaan. In other Ahaadith, we are told that fasting saves one from Allah Ta’ala’s punishment and the fire of Jahannam in the Aakhirah (Hereafter). Once, somebody asked Rasulullah ⟦AR:a157⟧, “What causes the fast to break?” He replied, “Speaking lies and backbiting.” This Hadith, when read in combination with many other Ahaadith, actually tells us not to do those things which causes the fast to be destroyed. These days, we like wasting time with unnecessary conversations just to pass time whilst fasting. Some Ulama say that lies, backbiting, slander (wrongly accusing somebody), etc. actually breaks the fast just like eating and drinking. But the majority of the Ulama believe that the fast is not totally broken, but loses its blessings (barakah). The Ulama tell us of six things of which care should be taken whilst fasting: Firstly: One should keep the eyes away from any place where one should not look at. Some go so far as to forbid looking at one’s own wife with desire, let alone another woman. Similarly, we should avoid looking at anything forbidden and any futile amusement or where evil is committed (e.g. T.V., DVD’s, etc.). Rasulullah ⟦AR:a158⟧ said: “The sight is an arrow from the arrows of Shaytaan. Whosoever, out of fear of Allah Ta’ala, protects his gaze, Allah Ta’ala will give him such noor (light) of Imaan, the taste and sweetness of which he will feel in the heart.” The pious people say that this means that we should not look at all at those places and things that take the mind away from the remembrance of Allah Ta’ala. Secondly: One should guard the tongue from lies, unnecessary talks, backbiting, arguments, etc. In ‘Saheeh Bukhari’ we read that fasting is a shield for the fasting person. Those who fast should stay away from all foolish and obscene talk e.g. joking, arguments, etc. Should an understanding person start an argument, then say to him, “I am fasting.” In other words, one should not start an argument and even if someone else starts it, then too, one should avoid it. And if a foolish person starts an argument, then at least one should remind oneself that; “I am fasting” and must not respond to such meaningless arguments. One should be even more careful in avoiding lies and backbiting since according to some Ulama it actually breaks the fast. During the time of our Nabi ⟦AR:a159⟧, two women who were fasting felt so hungry that they could not manage the fast and both were close to death. When the Sahaabah ⟦AR:a160⟧ told our Nabi ⟦AR:a161⟧ about this, he sent a bowl to the women asking both of them to vomit into it. When they both vomited into the bowl, pieces of meat and fresh blood were found in it. The Sahaabah ⟦AR:a162⟧ were greatly surprised, upon which our Nabi ⟦AR:a163⟧ said: “They fasted by not eating pure food from Allah Ta’ala, but ate food which was not permitted by Allah Ta’ala by backbiting of other people.” By backbiting during fasting, the fast becomes more difficult. Both these women were close to death. Similar is the effect of other sinful acts. This is also borne out by experience, fasting is not difficult for the pious Allah-fearing persons, whereas the sinful people find it very difficult. If one wishes the fast to be easy, he should stay away from sins, especially the major sins like backbiting and slander, which are often done to pass time. Allah Ta’ala says in the Qur-aan that backbiting is the (actual) eating of the flesh of one’s dead brother. We find this description in the Hadith also. Once, when Rasulullah ⟦AR:a164⟧ saw a group of people, he said to them, “Pick your teeth.” They replied; “We did not partake of meat today.” Rasulullah ⟦AR:a165⟧ then said, “A certain person’s meat is sticking to your teeth.” This meant that they were involved in backbiting. May Allah Ta’ala keep us safe from this evil sin because we are very neglectful of this. All of us are guilty of this. Leave aside those people who are not generally regarded as religious, backbiting is common even amongst the gatherings of Ulama and those who are considered to be pious. What is most heart breaking is that we do not even consider it to be backbiting. If a person suspects that he is guilty of backbiting, then he covers it up by calling it a “narration of facts.” One of the Sahaabah ⟦AR:a166⟧ asked Rasulullah ⟦AR:a167⟧, “What is backbiting?” Rasulullah ⟦AR:a168⟧ replied: “To say something about your brother, behind his back, which he does not like.” The Sahaabah ⟦AR:a169⟧ then said: “And is it still backbiting if what is said about him is really true?” Our Nabi ⟦AR:a170⟧ said: “In that case (if that which was said is really true) it is definitely backbiting; but if what is said is false, then you have slandered (falsely accused) him.” Once when Nabi ⟦AR:a171⟧ passed by two graves, he said: “Punishment is being given to both the people of these graves. One is being punished because of backbiting and the other because of not having taken precautions (to stay clean) when passing urine.” Rasulullah ⟦AR:a172⟧ also said, “There are more than seventy kinds of evil in (using)","interest. The mildest form of which is like commiting adultery with your mother, and taking one Dirham of interest is a worse evil than having fornicated thirty-five times. The worst and most evil form of taking interest is disgracing a Muslim. In the Hadith we are strictly warned against backbiting and disgracing others. I very much wanted to write down here a number of Ahaadith on this subject because all our gatherings and conversations are generally filled with backbiting and slander. However, I shall suffice with what was mentioned because the subject under discussion here, is something else and not actually backbiting. So, having just noted down these few Ahaadith, I once again make dua that Allah Ta’ala keep us safe from this evil. I also beg my friends and brothers to make dua for me too, as we are all full of inner faults.","⟦AR:a173⟧","“Arrogance and pride, ignorance and negligence, dislike and malice, evil thoughts, lies and the breaking of promises, ostentation (showing off) and hatred, backbiting and animosity (hatred). What sickness is there O Allah, that is not in me, Heal me from every illness and grant me my necessity,","Verily I have a heart that is ailing, Verily you are Healer of the sick.”","Thirdly: The person who fasts must be careful about what he hears. Whatever is wrong to say, is also wrong to listen too. Rasulullah ⟦AR:a175⟧ has said, “In backbiting, both the backbiter and the one who listens to it are equally sinful.” Fourthly: The rest of the body should be kept away from sin and wrong things. The hands must not touch it and the feet must not walk towards it. Special care should be taken especially at the time of breaking the fast that no doubtful or haram food enters the stomach. When a person fasts and at the time of breaking the fast, eats haraam food, he is like a sick person who takes medicine as a cure but also adds a little poison, which then kills him. Fifthly: It is not good to completely fill the stomach while breaking the fast at iftaar even with halaal food because the purpose of fasting is then lost. The objective of fasting is to weaken the carnal and animalistic powers of the nafs, and to strengthen the angelic and spiritual powers of the nafs. For eleven months, we eat and drink freely. In Ramadhaan this should be cut down to a minimum. We have a bad habit of filling our stomachs when breaking the fast to cover up for what was lost during the day and again at sehri in preparation for the fast, thereby actually increasing our daily food intake. For such people their appetite increases in Ramadhaan. Many such items of food are eaten that we normally do not eat at other times. This type of habit is completely against the spirit of Ramadhaan and the true spirit of fasting. Imam Ghazaali (rahmatullahi alayh) asks the same question: “When the object of fasting is to decrease our bodily needs and to go against Shaytaan, then how can this possibly be done by overeating when breaking the fast thereby defeating the object of fasting?” Actually in that case we have only changed the times of eating and not really fasted. In fact, by having many types of delicious foods, we eat even more than in normal times. Instead of lessening the bodily desires, these are increased. The real benefit of fasting comes with real hunger. Our Nabi ⟦AR:a176⟧ said, “Shaytaan flows in the body of man like blood, so close up his path by remaining hungry,” i.e. when the body is hungry, the rooh (spirit)","receives strength, and when the body is stuffed with food, then all the limbs of the body are spiritually starved. Apart from hunger, fasting gives us a chance to appreciate the condition of the poor and thereby feel sorry for them. This can only be felt by remaining hungry. But by filling the stomach with delicious foods at sehri, we will be losing the purpose of fasting because we will not feel hungry throughout the fast. We will only be able to identify with the poor if we ourselves experience hunger (pangs of hunger). Once a person went to Bishr Haafi (rahmatullahi alaih) and found him shivering from cold in spite of having warm clothes at his side. The person inquired, “Is this the time for taking off your clothes?” Bishr (rahmatullahi alayh) replied; “There are many poor and needy people and I am unable to sympathize with them. The most I could do is to be like them.” The pious people and Fuqaha (Jurists) advise us to have the same attitude when fasting. In Maraaqil Falaah it is written: “Do not over eat at sehri like the rich people, as this is a way to lose the object of fasting.” Allamah Tahthaawi (rahmatullahi alayh) explains this, “The reward for fasting increases when hunger is really felt and awareness is also felt for the poor and hungry ones.” Our Nabi ⟦AR:a177⟧ himself said: “Allah Ta’ala hates the filling of anything to the top more than the filling of the stomach.” Rasulullah ⟦AR:a178⟧ said, “A few morsels of food, enough to keep the back upright is sufficient for a person.” If anyone wants to eat more than this, he should eat so that one third should be filled with food, one third with drink, while the other third remains empty. There had to be some reason Ramadhaan why Rasulullah ⟦AR:a179⟧ himself used to fast for many days on end without eating anything in between. I had seen my ustaad, Moulana Khalil Ahmed (rahmatullahi alayh), eating only slightly more than one thin handmade roti (bread) at iftaar and sehri during the whole month of Ramadhaan. When any of his family used to ask him to eat more, he used to reply, “I am not hungry. Actually, I only sat down to eat so that I can be with my friends.” I have heard that Moulana Shah Abdurraheem Raipuri (rahmatullahi alayh) used to fast for days on end in Ramadhaan, having nothing else besides a few cups of tea without milk for sehri and iftaar. Once his most trusted mureed and Khalifah, Moulana Shah Abdul Qadir (rahmatullahi alayh,) remarked with anxiety; “Hadhrat you will become quite weak if you do not eat anything.” To this Moulana Shah Raipuri (rahmatullahi alayh) replied; “Praise be to Allah Ta’ala, I am experiencing something of the ecstasy of Jannah.” (May Allah Ta’ala grant us all the ability to follow such pious people (Aameen).","⟦AR:a180⟧","The one living in luxury cannot attain recognition, since a full stomach is empty of wisdom.","The sixth point: After fasting one should always have fear and anxiety as to whether one’s fast has been accepted or rejected by Allah Ta’ala. This should be the case with all our other ibaadah. One never knows for which deficiency and fault, which we may take lightly (as something insignificant), our deeds may be thrown back in our faces. Rasulullah ⟦AR:a181⟧ said; “Many who are the reciters of the Qur-aan are being cursed by the Qur-aan.” He also said, “On the day of Qiyaamah, one of those whom Allah Ta’ala will question first will be a shaheed (martyr). Allah Ta’ala will call him and remind him of all the favours that Allah Ta’ala bestowed upon him, to which the shaheed will admit. He will then be asked; “What have you done in return to show gratitude for those favours?” The shaheed will reply; “I fought in your path till I became a Shaheed.” Allah Ta’ala will reply, “Not true. You fought so that people would call you a brave man and so it was said.” Thereafter Allah Ta’ala will command that he be pulled with his face down on the ground, and thrown into Jahannam. Thereafter an Aalim will be called. He will also be reminded of the favours of Allah Ta’ala and asked the same question. He will reply, “O Allah, I strove to acquire knowledge, taught others and I recited the Qur-aan for Your sake.” Allah Ta’ala will say, “Not true. You did all that just to show the people so that they will say that you are a very learned man and so it was said.” Thereafter Allah Ta’ala will command that he also be pulled with his face down on the ground and thrown into Jahannam. Thereafter a rich man will be called. He will also be reminded of the favours of Allah Ta’ala to which he will admit. He will then be asked as to what he did to show his gratitude, he will reply, “There was no worthy cause in which Idid not spend in charity just for Your sake.” Allah Ta’ala will reply, “Not true. You did all that so that the people may say that you are very generous and so it was said.” Thereafter Allah Ta’ala will command that he also be pulled with his face down on the ground and thrown into Jahannam. May Allah Ta’ala save us. This is the result of our incorrect niyyahs (intentions). Many such examples are mentioned in the Hadith. Therefore, the fasting person must at all times safeguard his niyyat and have the fear that his actions must not be rejected. He should also constantly make dua that Allah Ta’ala makes this a cause for His pleasure. It should also be borne in mind that regarding your act as not being worthy of acceptance is one aspect and your hopes for the infinite grace and mercy of Allah Ta'ala is another aspect. This latter aspect of Allah Ta’ala’s kindness is unique. Sometimes Allah Ta’ala converts our sins to good deeds (due to other good deeds that follow the sins committed by us). Then why should we not hope for rewards for our defective deeds?","⟦AR:a186⟧","“Don’t count this charisma and phenomena to be His only execellence. The beloved has so many other virtues which words cannot express.”","These above six advices are compulsory for all the righteous ones. As for the extremely pious servants of Allah Ta’ala, a seventh point is also added to the above six. Whilst fasting, the heart should not be turned towards anyone else except Allah Ta’ala, so much so that it is one’s shortcoming to worry about whether there shall be something to eat for iftaar or not. Some pious servants of Allah Ta’ala even consider it wrong to worry about how one is going to get his food for iftaar, because this shows his lack of confidence in promise of Allah Ta’ala regarding his rizq Ramadhaan (sustenance). In the commentary of ‘Ihyaa Ulumud Deen’, it is mentioned regarding some Mashaaikh, that should any food arrive for iftaar before the time of iftaar, then it was given away, fearing that the heart will now be set on the food for the rest of the day, which in turn would reduce their reliance on Allah Ta’ala. This of course can only be practiced by the exceptionally pious people, as our Imaan is not on such a level. Should we try to follow that, then we may harm ourselves. The Qur-aan commands, “Fasting has been prescribed for you.” The commentators of the Qur-aan say that from this aayat it is deduced that fasting is made compulsory for every portion of the body. Therefore, fasting of the tongue means abstaining from speaking lies, etc. Fasting of the ears means not listening to evil. Fasting of the eyes means not looking at any form of evil and sin, and in the same manner all the other limbs, to this extent that fasting of the nafs means to protect oneself from greed and carnal desires. Fasting of the heart is to keep it empty of the love of the world. Fasting of the rooh (soul) means to abstain from dwelling in the pleasures of the Aakhirah. Fasting of the mind means avoiding thoughts about the presence of any other being besides Allah Ta’ala.","c1\u002Fs9",{"number":1537,"title":1538,"kind":76,"paragraphs":1539,"id":1547},"10","FASTING PERSON EATING WITHOUT A VALID REASON",[1540,1541,1542,1543,1544,1545,1546],"⟦AR:a187⟧","Hadhrat Abu Hurayrah ⟦AR:a190⟧ reports that Rasulullah ⟦AR:a191⟧ said, “Whosoever eats on one day of Ramadhaan without a valid reason or excuse or genuine illness (which is acceptable in Shariah), shall never be able to compensate for that day even by fasting for the rest of his life.”","Note: The view of some Ulama is that if anybody has failed to fast on any day of Ramadhaan without any valid excuse and dishonored it by eating etc., can never compensate (duly fulfil the Qadhaa) for this major sin. Even if a person fasts for the rest of his life, he cannot make up for this one day. Hadhrat Ali ⟦AR:a192⟧ is amongst those who hold this view. However, the vast majority of Ulama say that where a person did not fast Ramadhaan on a particular day of Ramadhaan, then only one fast will suffice for that day as compensation. On the other hand, when a person had started to fast in Ramadhaan and then breaks it during the day without any valid excuse, then according to the Shariah, this person will have to fast consecutively for two months without a break in between. No matter what happens, the true virtue and blessings of Ramadhaan will never be attained. This is the meaning of the above Hadith that, where a fast of Ramadhaan has been missed without an excuse, then any number of fasts to compensate for it will not bring back the true blessings of that one day of Ramadhaan. This applies to those who keep the qadhaa fast. However, those who deny the fast and do not keep it at all, are most unfortunate and misguided. Fasting is one of the fundamental pillars of Islam. Rasulullah ⟦AR:a193⟧ has mentioned the five pillars of Islam. First and foremost is belief in the oneness of Allah Ta’ala and Muhammad ⟦AR:a194⟧ being a Rasul (Messenger of Allah Ta’ala) and thereafter the other four famous pillars: Salaah, Fasting, Zakaat and Haj. How many people do we find who are known to be Muslims, yet do not uphold even one of these five pillars of Islam. In the records of the government, they are recorded as Muslims, whereas in Allah Ta’ala’s sight they cannot be counted as Muslims. Ibn Abbaas ⟦AR:a195⟧ relates in a Hadith that, “Islam is based on three principles: 1. The Shahaadah, 2. Salaah, 3. Fasting. Whoever fails to uphold any of these principles is a disbeliever and it will be permissible to give him capital punishment (i.e. he must be killed).” The Ulama have explained that they will only be regarded as disbelievers when they deny it as an obligation, or deny its being a principle. No matter what interpretation is given, the fact remains that Rasulullah ⟦AR:a196⟧ spoke against such people most forcefully. Therefore, those who fail to keep up the faraaidh of Deen should indeed fear Allah Ta’ala’s anger. No one can escape death. The pleasure and comforts of this life are temporary. Only obedience to Allah Ta’ala’s commands can save us. Much worse is the position of those who do not only refuse to fast, but speak such words whereby they mock and jeer at the month of fasting (Ramadhaan). This is something very serious and can bring one to the brink of kufr. You may have heard them mockingly say, “Fasting is for those who have no food in their homes, not for me.” Or “What does Allah Ta’ala gain by making us suffer with hunger?” Such words should never be uttered. A very important point should be noted that to mock and jeer at, or poke fun at even the smallest part of our Deen becomes the cause of kufr (apostasy). If a person does not perform a single Salaah in his life, nor does he fast a single day, or fail to perform any of the fardh obligations in Islam, then that person does not become a kaafir, as long as he does not deny any part of Deen. However, he will certainly be punished for any fardh that he had neglected. But to mock and jeer at even the smallest aspect of the Deen is kufr (apostasy) and can result in all our good actions being nullified. From this it can be seen how serious this matter is. Therefore, we should never make irresponsible statements about fasting or any other part of our Deen.","However, a person who did not fast without a valid reason will be sinful, even though he did not mock and jeer at this command of Allah Ta’ala. The Ulama have clearly mentioned that the person who eats openly in Ramadhaan without a valid reason, should be killed. And if this is not possible due to being in non-Muslim country and you do not have a Muslim leader (i.e. an Ameerul Mumineen), then it is the duty of every person to express his disapproval of such behaviour, or the lowest level of Imaan is to regard such behaviour as evil. May Allah Ta’ala, through the blessings of His obedient servants, give me the ability to do good actions, since I am the one who is most guilty of not doing good actions. Aameen. I think ten Ahaadith in chapter one should be sufficient, since one Hadeeth is enough for those who are prepared to accept and similarly keeping in mind the aayat in which Allah Ta’aala has mentioned:","⟦AR:a197⟧","“This completes ten.” (Surah Baqarah - Aayah 196)","As for those who are not prepared to accept, any number of Ahaadith will be insufficient for them.

The Qur-aan-e-Kareem describes it as being greater in blessedness and rewards than a thousand months. It is greater than eighty-three years and four months (in blessings). Fortunate is that person who gets the full blessings of this night by spending it in the ibaadah of Allah Ta’ala, because he has then earned reward for ibaadah of eighty-three years and four months and even more. Indeed, the granting of this night to the Muslims is a great favour.","It is reported in Durre Mansoor by Hadhrat Anas ⟦AR:a198⟧ that Rasulullah ⟦AR:a199⟧ is reported to have said, “Laylatul Qadr was given to my Ummah and not to any other Ummah before this.” Many reasons for the granting of Laylatul Qadr have been mentioned. One reason given according to some Ahaadith is that, Rasulullah ⟦AR:a200⟧ used to look at the longer lives of the earlier people and was saddened over the shorter lives of his Ummah. If His Ummah had wished to compete with the people before them in the doing of good deeds, because of their shorter lives, it would be impossible for them to either copy or do more good deeds than them. To cover up for this difference in their shorter lives, Allah Ta’ala, in His countless mercy, gave them this night of great blessings. If any fortunate person of this ummah spends ten such nights during his lifetime in the worship of Allah Ta’ala, he will earn the reward of eight hundred and thirty years and even more. Rasulullah ⟦AR:a201⟧ once related to the Sahaabah ⟦AR:a202⟧ the story of a very pious man from the Bani Israa’eel, who spent 1000 months in jihaad. On hearing this, the Sahaabah ⟦AR:a203⟧ envied that person because they could not get the same reward, whereupon Allah Ta’ala granted them Laylatul Qadr (the Night of Power). Our Nabi ⟦AR:a204⟧ once mentioned the names of the four most pious people from amongst the Bani Israa’eel who each spent eighty years in Allah Ta’ala’s sincere ibaadah, worshipping Him, and not sinning at all. They were Nabi Ayyub (alayhis salaam), Zakariyya (alayhis salaam), Hizqeel (alayhis salaam) and Yushaa (alayhis salaam). The Sahaabah ⟦AR:a205⟧ heard this with astonishment. Then Jibra-eel (alayhis salaam) appeared and recited Surah Qadr, where the blessings of this night were revealed. Besides these Ahaadith, there are others also explaining how the Night of Power came about. The differences in narration arise because after several incidents occurred, some wahi was revealed. Those aayaat could be relevant to anyone of the incidents that took place. But no matter which of them we accept, the important fact remains is that Allah Ta’ala has granted the ummah of Muhammad ⟦AR:a206⟧ this night. This is a great favour and gift of Allah Ta’ala. To make lots of ibaadah on this night is also a blessing from Allah Ta’ala. Fortunate are those pious saints who did not miss the ibaadah of even one Laylatul Qadr from the time they became baaligh (age of maturity).","⟦AR:a208⟧","Some unfortunate people do not benefit from a Shaik-e-Kaamil Just as Alexander returned deprived from the Aab-e-Hayaat despite the guidance of Khizar ⟦AR:a209⟧","There are many different narrations of the Ulama regarding the specification of this night. About fifty different views of the Ulama are mentioned regarding which night is Laylatul Qadr. The numerous benefits of this night are mentioned in many books of Ahaadith. The Qur-aan Majeed itself mentions the night in Surah Qadr, of which we shall begin with a short commentary.","⟦AR:a210⟧","In the name of Allah, the beneficent, the Merciful.","⟦AR:a211⟧","We have indeed revealed this (message) on Lalatul Qadr (the night of significants). (Surah Qadr - Aayah 1) Note: On this special night, the Qur-aan was sent down from the lowhul mahfuz (The preserved tablet in a special place above the heavens) to the heavens above the earth. A great divine book like the Qur-aan-e-Kareem being revealed on this night is sufficient to explain its great significance, not to mention all its other blessings and virtues. In the very next aayaat, a question is asked:","⟦AR:a212⟧","And what will explain to you what the Night of significants is? (Surah Qadr - Aayah 2) The question asked here is: Have you any knowledge as to the greatness and the great importance of this night? Have you any knowledge as to the great favours and gifts that this night contains? The next verse explains to us some of that greatness:","⟦AR:a213⟧","The Night of Power is better than a thousand months. (Surah Qadr - Aayah 3) The true meaning here is that the reward for spending this night in ibaadah is better than having spent one thousand months in ibaadah. It is in fact much more, but as to how much more rewarding it is, we are not told here.","⟦AR:a214⟧","The Malaaikah come down therein and the Spirit (Jibra-eel) by Allah Ta’ala’s permission on every task. (Surah Qadr - Aayah 4) A good explanation is given on this aayat by Imaam Raazi (rahmatullahi alayh). He explains that when man first appeared on earth, created by Allah Ta’ala as His deputy, the Malaaikah looked at him with doubt. When Allah Ta’ala informed them of His intention of placing man on earth, they even went further to ask, “Will you place someone on this earth who shall commit evil and cause bloodshed?” Similarly, when his parents saw the drop of sperm (mani) which was his original form, they looked upon it as something dirty, so much so, that they considered it as something which made your clothing unclean and had to be washed of. But later, when Allah Ta’ala made that same dirty sperm into a fine human being, they began to love and cherish him. When this same man grew up, then on this Night of significance and virtue we see him through Allah Ta’alas taufeeq worshipping Him and displaying their obedience and submission to Him. Those very same Malaaikah who had looked down on him before with doubt now, come down towards him and are regretful for the thoughts that they had against him. In this aayat mention is made “and the spirit”. This refers clearly to Jibra-eel (alayhis salaam). Mufassireen (commentators of the Qur-aan Shareef) have given many meanings of this word. Let us look at some of the meanings: (a) Majority of the mufassireen are agreed that it refers to Jibra-eel (alayhis salaam) and according to Imaam Raazi (rahmatullahi alaih), this is the most correct meaning. Allah Ta’ala first speaks of the Malaaikah and then special mention is made of Jibra-eel (alayhis salaam) because of his status. (b) Some mufassireen hold the view that “Spirit” here means one Malaaikah of such an extremely huge size, that before him, the heavens and earth appear just as a morsel (of food i.e. as almost nothing). (c) Another group of mufassireen are of the opinion that “Spirit” here means a group of Malaaikah who never appear and only on this night are seen by the other Malaaikah.","(d) Some mufasireen believe that the “Spirit” here refers to one such creation of Allah Ta’ala which partakes of food and drink, but is neither man nor angel. (e) There is also a view that “Spirit” here refers to Isa (alayhis salaam) who, on this night, comes down with the Malaaikah to view the good deeds of this ummah. (f) The last view we wish to mention here is that “Spirit” means, Allah Ta’ala’s special mercy which comes when the Malaaikah come down. Besides these there are many other views, but the first opinion is the most acceptable one. Imaam Bayhaqi (rahmatullahi alaih) reports a Hadith by Hadhrat Anas ⟦AR:a215⟧ wherein Rasulullah ⟦AR:a216⟧ is reported to have said, “On Laylatul Qadr, Jibra-eel (alayhis salaam) comes down with a group of Malaaikah and makes dua of mercy for every one whom they find busy in ibaadah.” This same verse which is being discussed above says,","⟦AR:a217⟧","“By Allah Ta’ala’s permission on every task....” The Author of ‘Mazaahirrul Haq’ writes that on this night, many ages ago, the Malaaikah were created. On this night, the substance from which Adam (alayhis salaam) was created, had been gathered and his creation had begun. Trees were planted in Jannah and a large number of Ahaadith state clearly that on this night dua’s are accepted. Similarly, we read in the kitaab, ‘Durre Manthoor’ that according to a Hadith, it was on this night that Isa (alayhis salaam) was lifted up bodily into the heavens and also it was on this night that the taubah (repentance) of the Bani Israa’eel was accepted.","⟦AR:a218⟧","Peace prevails until the break of dawn (Surah Qadr Aayah 5) Yes, this is the very picture of peace. Throughout the night the Malaaikah recite salaam on the believers. As one group comes down, another goes up as is explained in the Ahaadith. Another meaning is that it is a night of complete safety from evil and mischief.","These blessings remain throughout the night until the break of dawn and are not limited to any particular hour.","Having noted the different virtues of this night as explained in the words of Allah Ta’ala it does not require any further endorsement, nevertheless we shall mention some Ahaadith on the virtues of this night.","c2\u002Fs1",{"number":1394,"title":1580,"kind":76,"paragraphs":1581,"id":1585},"STANDING UP IN IBAADAH ON LAYLATUL QADR",[1582,1583,1584],"⟦AR:a219⟧","Hadhrat Abu Hurayrah ⟦AR:a222⟧ reports that Rasulullah ⟦AR:a223⟧ said, “Whoever stands in Salaah and ibaadah on the night of qadar with firm Imaan and with sincere hope of gaining reward, his previous sins are forgiven.”","Note: In the above Hadith ‘standing’ refers to salaah as well as any other form of ibaadah, for example zikr, tilaawat, etc. The expression ‘with sincere hope of gaining reward’, means that one should be sincerely occupied with ibaadah only for the pleasure of Allah Ta’ala and to receive rewards from Him. This should not be done to show others or to deceive them. Khattaabi (rahmatullahi alayh) says that it means that one should have complete trust in the promise that any deed done will be rewarded and therefore one must stand before Allah Ta’ala with sincerity and devotion. Neither should a person think of ibaadah as a burden, nor should he doubt the reward which he will get for it. After all, when one aims at a high goal and desires to get a great reward for it, and he is certain that he will get it, then the effort of striving hard to attain that goal becomes easy. Therefore, standing for long hours in ibaadah becomes easy. This is the reason why those who reach a high spiritual rank in Allah Ta’ala’s sight, find it easy to remain in ibaadah most of the time. The Hadith speaks about ‘previous sins being forgiven.’ The Ulama have said that the forgiveness which is mentioned in the Hadith above and other Ahaadith only refer to minor sins. Major sins can only be forgiven, according to the Qur-aan, after sincere taubah, with the promise never to return to such sins again. This is the reason why all the Ulama are of the same opinion that major sins are not forgiven except by sincere taubah. Therefore, when forgiveness of sins is mentioned in the Ahaadith, the Ulama specify it to be minor sins. My late father (May Allah Ta’ala bless him and grant him light in his qabr) used to say that, the word minor has been omitted here for two reasons. Firstly, he says, “If a true Muslim does commit a major sin, he will never rest or find peace until he has sincerely made taubah to Allah Ta’ala, begging for forgiveness and promising not to do so in future.” Secondly, my late father used to say, when we are given such great and blessed days and nights, then a true Muslim stands before Allah Ta’ala in Salaah, hoping to gain reward, he naturally feels ashamed and greatly grieved by his previous sins. This grief over sins and the determination not to return to such acts are the most important requirements of taubah. This means that on such days and nights one naturally makes taubah for major sins, (thereby leaving only minor sins to be forgiven). It is best, however, that on an occasion like Laylatul Qadr, one who has committed major sins should first of all make taubah with sincerity and ask for forgiveness so that Allah Ta’ala, in His infinite mercy, may forgive all the major and minor sins. And when you do so, also remember me in your duas.

There are those who, because of their jobs, have to stay awake at night throughout the year. What difficulty is there for these people to stay awake at night in this month, only for the sake of gaining reward of over eighty years of ibaadah, in the service of Allah Ta’ala? To stay awake at night in this month should not be too difficult for them, but because of lack of interest, there is no desire in the heart.

One of them was Hadhrat ‘Umar ⟦AR:a242⟧ who, after performing his Isha Salaah, used to return home and then remain in Salaah throughout the night until the azaan for Fajr was heard. Then there is the example of Hadhrat Usmaan ⟦AR:a243⟧ who used to fast the entire day almost throughout the year, and have a little sleep during the first third of the night and thereafter spend the rest of the night in Salaah. It is well known about him that he used to recite the whole Qur-aan during one rakaat. In ‘Ihya Ulumud Deen’ by Imaam Ghazaali (rahmatullahi alayh), Abu Taalib Makki (rahmatullahi alayh) says that about forty men from among the Taabi’een used to perform Fajr Salaah with the same wudhu with which they had performed Isha Salaah with. This has been reported by many authentic narrators. Hadhrat Shaddaad ⟦AR:a244⟧ was one of the Sahaabah who used to stay awake throughout the night, turning from side to side, until Fajr. Then he used to say, “O Allah, the fear for the fire of Jahannam has driven away sleep from my eyes.” Apart from sleeping a little between Maghrib and Esha, Aswad bin Yazeed (rahmatullahi alayh) used to remain in Ibaadah throughout the night during Ramadhaan. Now let us look at a man like Saeed ibnul Musayyib (rahmatullahi alayh) of whom it is said that he used to perform Esha and Fajr with the same wudhu for fifty years. Then there is the example of Sila bin Ashyam (rahmatullahi alayh), who after spending a whole night in the ibaadah Allah Ta’ala, used to say at the break of day, “O Allah, I am not fit to beg of You Jannah but all I ask is that You save me from Jahannam.” Ramadhaan Qataadah (rahmatullahi alayh) was a man who used to finish the recitation of the Qur-aan every three nights of Ramadhaan but during the last ten nights he used to complete the whole Qur-aan every night. It is well known about Imaam Abu Haneefah (rahmatullahi alayh) that, for forty years, he performed Isha and the following morning’s Fajr Salaah with the same wudhu. To doubt these incidents is to deny true historical facts. When his companions asked him as to where he had got the strength for that, he replied, “It is in answer to a special dua which I made to Allah Ta’ala in the name of the blessedness of His special names.” He only slept a little in the afternoons about which he said, “In the Hadith we are advised to do that.” In other words, he slept in the afternoon so that he could practice on the sunnah. Imaam Abu Haneefah (rahmatullahi alayh) used to cry so much whilst reciting the Qur-aan that his neighbours used to feel pity for him. Once he wept the whole night while repeating the following aayah again and again:","⟦AR:a245⟧","“Nay the hour (of Judgement) is the time promised for them (for their recompense) and that hour will be most grievous and bitter.” (Surah Qamar - Aayah 46) In Ramadhaan, Ibrahim Ibn Adham (rahmatullahi alaih) neither slept by night nor by day. Imaam Shaafi (rahmatullahi alaih) used to recite the Qur-aan about sixty times in his Salaah, in the days and nights of Ramadhaan. Apart from these few pious people, there are countless others who used to act on the command of the following aayat:","⟦AR:a246⟧","“I have only created jinn and human so that they may worship me.” (Surah Zaariyaat - Aayah 56) Nothing is difficult for those who have a will to practice. These are examples of the people of the past. But even today there are also many pious servants who serve Allah Ta’ala with the same devotion. Even though their exertion does not equal those pious people of the past, their efforts are reminiscent of these great souls. In these times of evil and immorality they strictly follow the example of Rasulullah ⟦AR:a247⟧. Leisure, comfort and our daily responsibilities should not become obstacles and prevent us from devoting ourselves to Deen. The Messenger of Allah ⟦AR:a248⟧ said, “Allah Ta’ala says, ‘O son of Aadam, spend your time in my service and I will bless you with contentment of the heart and I will remove your poverty. Otherwise I shall fill you with responsibilities and your poverty and needs will still remain.’” We see the reality and truth of this daily. (There are people who only serve Allah Ta’ala. They need nothing, in spite of having no apparent means of earning a livelihood. On the other hand, we see people striving hard to earn the worldly things and necessities. They become so engrossed in this task that no time is left for ibaadah. In spite of spending all their time seeking material needs, they still remain full of worldly desires, necessities and obligations -Translator).","c2\u002Fs3",{"number":1451,"title":1603,"kind":76,"paragraphs":1604,"id":1608},"DUAS ACCEPTED AND SINS FORGIVEN ON THE OCCASION OF EID",[1605,1606,1607],"⟦AR:a249⟧","Hadhrat Anas ⟦AR:a251⟧ reports that Rasulullah ⟦AR:a252⟧ said, “On the Night of Power, Jibra-eel (alayhis salaam) comes down to the earth with a group of Malaaikah, making dua for blessings for every servant of Allah Ta’ala they see standing in ibaadah or sitting and engaged in the praises (zikr) ofAllah Ta’ala. Then on the day of Eid, Allah Ta’ala boasts about them to the Malaaikah (this is because the Malaaikah had objected when Allah Ta’ala created man), ‘O Malaaikah, what is the reward of that employee who had fully completed his work?’ They reply, ‘O, our Sustainer, his reward should be given to him in full.’ To this Allah Ta’ala replies, ‘O, My Malaaikah, verily My servants, the males among them as well as the females, have fulfilled the compulsory duty placed upon them, thereafter they went to the Eidgaah raising their voices in My praises. I swear by My honour, by My Grace and by My High position of greatness, that I shall surely answer the duas of those people. Thereafter Allah Ta’ala says (addressing the people) ‘Return, I have definitely forgiven your sins and have exchanged them with good deeds.’ Rasulullah ⟦AR:a253⟧ said, ‘Those people then return (from the Eidgaah) in a forgiven state.’”","Note: In this Hadith it is clearly mentioned that Jibra-eel (alayhis salaam) comes down with the Malaaikah, as mentioned in the Qur-aan which has been explained earlier and this is also explained clearly in many Ahaadith. The last Hadith of this book explains in detail that Hadhrat Jibra-eel (alayhis salaam) commands all the Malaaikah to go to the homes of every person engaged in zikr and ibaadat and make musaafahah (shake hands) with them. The author of ‘Ghaaliyatul Mawaaiz’ quotes from the ‘Ghunyah’ of Shaikh Abdul Qaadir Jilaani (rahmatullahi alayh) that in a Hadith reported by Ibn Abbas ⟦AR:a254⟧ it is mentioned that Hadhrat Jibra-eel (alayhis salaam), after his coming down, commands the Malaaikah to go to the houses of those busy in ibaadah and make musaafaha (shake their hand). Thereupon the Malaaikah visit every house, whether big or small, whether in the jungle or on a ship, wherein a believer engaged in ibaadah resides, and shakes his hand. However, they do not enter certain houses; the house in which there is a dog or a pig, the house in which there is a person in the state of janaabah, which has resulted from adultery or fornication and a house wherein pictures of men and animals are displayed. How unfortunate it is that many Muslim houses do not have Malaaikah entering simply because there are pictures of men and animals being displayed, only for the sake of adding a bit of decoration. Only one picture may have been hung by one careless member of the household and all the occupants are completely deprived of blessings.","c2\u002Fs4",{"number":1461,"title":1610,"kind":76,"paragraphs":1611,"id":1619},"LOOKING FOR LAYLATUL QADR",[1612,1613,1614,1615,1616,1617,1618],"⟦AR:a255⟧","Hadhrat Aa’ishah ⟦AR:a258⟧ reports that Rasulullah ⟦AR:a259⟧ said, “Seek Laylatul Qadr among the odd numbered nights of the last ten days of the month of Ramadhaan.”","Note: We now come to the question; When is Laylatul Qadr? The above Hadith commands us to look for it in the last ten nights of Ramadhaan.","According to the majority of Ulama, the last ten nights starts on the 21st night. Whether the month of Ramadhaan consists of twenty-nine or thirty days, one should seek Laylatul Qadr on the 21st, 23rd, 25th, 27th or the 29th night. If the month is twenty-nine days, then too these will be regarded as the last ten (Akheer Asharah). A great learned Aalim, Ibn Hazm (rahmatullahi alayh), has a different opinion, saying that the word Asharah as used in the Hadith means ten. As such, the above calculation will only be correct when the month of Ramadhaan consists of thirty days. However, when there are only twenty-nine days in the month (as often happens), the last ten days in the month will commence with the 20th night. According to this calculation it will mean that the unevenly numbered nights will be the 20th, 22nd, 24th, 26th and 28th night. With due respect to a greatly learned Aalim like ibn Hazm (rahmatullahi alayh), However the majority of Ulama do not agree with this view, the reason being that Itikaaf is sunnah during the last ten days of Ramadhaan. All the Ulama are of the same opinion that Rasulullah ⟦AR:a260⟧ used to commence Itikaaf on the 21st night of Ramadhaan in search of Laylatul Qadr.","Though there is the great possibility of Laylatul Qadr being on the odd nights from the 21st onwards, there is also the likelihood that it could fall during the last ten nights. The best advice one can give here is that one should spend each night from the 20th onwards in ibaadah, so that one may be sure of having acquired the blessings of Laylatul Qadr. Ten or eleven nights is definitely not so difficult if one looks at the great reward that is granted.","⟦AR:a263⟧","“O Urfi!

May be that is better for you. So, look for it among the ninth, seventh and fifth nights.”","Note: Three important points are referred to in this Hadith. Firstly, there is mention of an argument which resulted in the knowledge of Laylatul Qadr being withheld from us. Arguments are always the cause of loss of barakah and blessings. Once Rasulullah ⟦AR:a271⟧ asked the Sahaabah ⟦AR:a272⟧, “Shall I inform you of some action that is better than Salaah, fasting and charity?” The Sahaabah ⟦AR:a273⟧ replied, “Certainly.” Rasulullah ⟦AR:a274⟧ then said, “Maintaining peaceful and good relations amongst yourselves is most virtuous, for verily arguments amongst yourselves causes one to destroy his Deen.” Just as the razor removes hair from the head, similarly, arguments amongst yourselves destroys one’s Deen (good deeds). This is indeed an illness amongst us. Even those among us who appear to be extremely pious and busy with zikr, are victims of these arguments and fighting. We should carefully study the saying of Rasulullah ⟦AR:a275⟧ and then check our conduct where pride prevents us from restoring our relationship with others. In the first chapter of this book (where the rewards and etiquette of fasting is discussed) we read that Rasulullah ⟦AR:a276⟧ said, “To insult or disgrace a Muslim is considered as being involved in the worst type of interest (usury). We neither care for a Muslim’s honour and respect when we say some bad words during an argument, nor do we take the sayings of Allah Ta’ala and His Rasul ⟦AR:a277⟧ into consideration. Allah Ta’ala says in the Qur-aan Shareef,","⟦AR:a278⟧","“Argue not among yourselves, otherwise your courage will go and your strength will depart, and be patient and persevering, for Allah Ta’ala is with those who patiently persevere.” (Surah Anfaal - Aayah 46) It the duty of those who want to injure and destroy the honour and dignity of others to ponder how much harm they have done to themselves. Through these despicable deeds, they should realise that they themselves have become despicable in the sight Allah Ta’ala and in the sight of the people. The person who cuts relationship with his brothers for more than three days and dies in this state, will go straight to Jahannam. Rasulullah ⟦AR:a279⟧ said that on every Monday and Thursday the actions of all the people are brought before Allah Ta’ala. Except for the idolaters, forgiveness is then granted to all through His Mercy (as a result of some of their pious deeds). However, regarding any two people between whom an argument had taken place and friendship is cut off, it shall be said, “Leave their affair aside until such time that they restore their relationship with each other.” Another Hadith states that on every Monday and Thursday, when Ramadhaan our aamal (actions) are presented before Allah Ta’ala, He accepts the taubah of those who make taubah, and forgives those who seek forgiveness. But those who had arguments are not forgiven. Another Hadith says that on Shabe Bara’at (the 15th night of Shabaan) Allah Ta’ala showers His mercy on His creation and forgiveness is freely granted to all, except for two types of persons. Firstly, a kaafir (disbeliever) and secondly, for the one who harbors hatred against others. In another Hadith it is stated: There are three kinds of people whose Salaah does not rise one hand span above their heads for acceptance, and one among these three are those who argue among themselves.","In the above paragraphs I have gone off the topic which is under discussion. It was not my intention to mention all these Ahaadith on arguments. I only did it to bring to our notice this great evil which we regard as insignificant, so much so that even those whom we consider to be pious are guilty of it.","⟦AR:a280⟧","From Allah Ta’ala do I ask, as He is the only One we seek assistance from. We should be aware that this fighting, use of harsh words and cutting ourselves off from others, will only be regarded as a sin and evil in Islam when it is done out of enmity and hatred over worldly matters. It is permissible to break off relations with somebody because of his sins or because of some religious matters where he is in the wrong and guilty. Once, when Hadhrat Ibn Umar ⟦AR:a281⟧ quoted a saying of Rasulullah ⟦AR:a282⟧, his son said something which outwardly appears as if he objected to it. The result was that Ibn Umar ⟦AR:a283⟧ never again spoke to that son for as long as he lived. There are numerous similar instances reported of the Sahaabah ⟦AR:a284⟧. Many a time we too cut off relations with people and claim that it is for the sake of the Deen. Allah Ta’ala is All-knowing, All-seeing and He alone knows the realty. He knows which relationships are cut off because of Deen and which are cut off because of the hurt caused to our honour, pride and dignity. The second point to which the Hadith draws our attention to is that man should be satisfied and accept Allah Ta’ala’s decision in all matters. For example, even though it seems that the loss of the knowledge as to when Laylatul Qadr actually falls is a great loss of goodness, it has to be accepted because it is from Allah Ta’ala. For this reason, Rasulullah ⟦AR:a285⟧ says, “It is better for us that way.” One should ponder over this as Allah Ta’ala is at all times merciful to His servants. Even when someone is overtaken by a great calamity because of his own sins, he only needs to appeal to His Creator by admitting his own weakness and that same calamity becomes a cause of great good for him. Nothing is impossible for Allah Ta’ala.","Our Ulama have mentioned several advantages in not knowing the actual date for Laylatul Qadr. Firstly, had we known the actual date for this blessed night, there would have been so many of us who would not have worshipped Allah Ta’ala at all during the year or on other nights. We would wait for the prescribed night only, in which to perform Ibaadah. Because of not knowing the actual date, one has to stay awake and be in ibaadah for quite a number of nights in the hope that each night is perhaps Laylatul Qadr. (This means more nights spent in Allah Ta’ala’s ibaadah for which one will be rewarded). Secondly, there are those amongst us who just do not seem to be able to avoid sin. How extremely dangerous and unfortunate for them would it be that in spite of knowing that a certain night is Laylatul Qadr, they still spend it in sin and evil? Once Rasulullah ⟦AR:a286⟧ entered the masjid and saw one of the Sahaabah ⟦AR:a287⟧ sleeping on one side. He said to Hadhrat Ali ⟦AR:a288⟧; “Wake him up so that he can make wudhu.” Ali ⟦AR:a289⟧ did this and then addressed Rasulullah ⟦AR:a290⟧ thus, “O","Messenger of Allah Ta’ala, why did you not wake him up yourself as You are always first to hurry towards any good deed?” To this Rasulullah ⟦AR:a291⟧ replied, “I fear on his behalf that this man may refuse, and refusal to my command is kufr. If he refused your command, it would not be kufr (disbelief).” Similarly, Allah Ta’ala, in His mercy, does not like that a person, in spite of knowing that it is the night of Qadr, should still spend it in sin and evil. Thirdly, there are some who find it possible to spend one, two or three nights in ibaadah, while we do not know exactly which night is the night of Qadr. Now say for arguments sake, if we knew which night is Laylatul Qadr and in spite of that, for one reason or another, within or outside our control, we allowed that night to go by without spending it in ibaadah, then almost certainly on no other night for the rest of Ramadhaan we would have spent in ibaadah. But since we do not know the exact night of Qadr, every person gets the opportunity to wake up for either one or two nights. Fourthly, every night spent in ibaadah in search of Laylatul Qadr is a night for which a separate reward is granted. Fifthly, we have read that Allah Ta’ala boasts to His Malaaikah about those believers who exert themselves in ibaadah during Ramadhaan. Therefore, when they spend more nights in ibaadah, Allah Ta’ala has more opportunities of boasting about those believers. In spite of not knowing when Laylatul Qadr is and only having a vague idea about its fixed time, they still exert themselves to the utmost in Allah Ta’ala’s ibaadah night after night. They exert themselves to such an extent in spite of not knowing the actual night, how much more would they had exerted themselves if it was known to them? Besides the above points, there are also other benefits due to which Allah Ta’ala often keeps certain things secret to Himself. For example, if we call upon Allah Ta’ala using the “Ismul Aazam” (the great name of Allah Ta’ala), He will certainly answer. Similarly, there is a special moment on the day of Jumuah when Duas are answered. The exact time of this also is not known to us. There are many other occasions which are included in this category. It is possible that because of the argument that took place, the fixing of Laylatul Qadr during that Ramadhaan was caused to be forgotten. However, because of the other benefits, the knowledge of the fixed date was not revealed. The third point to which attention is drawn to in the above Hadith is that one should search for Laylatul Qadr on the 9th, 7th and 5th nights. By reading this together with other Ahaadith quoted earlier, we come to know that this refers to the last ten nights of Ramadhaan. So which nights are these? If we start from the 20th, counting upwards, then these three nights are the 25th, 27th and 29th. But if we start counting from the 29th downwards, where Ramadhaan has 29 days, these nights will be the 21st, 23rd, and 25th, and in the case where the month has 30 days then it will be the 22nd, 24th and 26th. From all the above one can see how much uncertainty there is about the correct date. Among the learned Ulama there are approximately fifty different opinions. Because of this reason, some Ulama have said that Laylatul Qadr does not occur on one and the same night every year. If in one year it occurred on one night then the following year it will occur on another night. At various times Rasulullah ⟦AR:a292⟧ commanded the Sahaabah ⟦AR:a293⟧ to search among a certain number of nights, whereas at other times he used to fix a particular night. Hadhrat Abu Hurayrah ⟦AR:a294⟧ reports that, once whilst talking with the Sahaabah ⟦AR:a295⟧, Rasulullah ⟦AR:a296⟧ spoke about Laylatul Qadr and then asked, “What is the date today?” They replied, “The 22nd of Ramadhaan.” Rasulullah ⟦AR:a297⟧ said, “Search for Laylatul Qadr in the night following this day.” Abu Zar ⟦AR:a298⟧ reports that he inquired of Rasulullah ⟦AR:a299⟧ whether Laylatul Qadr was only granted for the time of the duration of Rasulullah’s ⟦AR:a300⟧ life, or whether it will continue to come after him. Rasulullah ⟦AR:a301⟧ replied, “It continues until Qiyaamah.” I then inquired “In which section of Ramadhaan does it come?” Rasulullah ⟦AR:a302⟧ replied, “Search for it in the first ten and in the last ten days.”","Thereafter Rasulullah ⟦AR:a303⟧ became busy with other work, I waited, and, finding another chance, inquired, “Please indicate in which section of those ten does Laylatul Qadr come?” Upon this Rasulullah ⟦AR:a304⟧ became so angry with me as he had never been before or after, and he said, “If it had been Allah Ta’ala’s object to make it known, would He not have informed us? Search for it among the last seven nights, and ask no more.” In another Hadith again Rasulullah ⟦AR:a305⟧ is reported to have told one Sahaabi that Laylatul Qadr was on the 23rd night. Ibn Abbaas ⟦AR:a306⟧ related, “Once, while sleeping, somebody said to me in my dream, ‘Rise up. This is Laylatul Qadr.’ I woke up and went quickly to Rasulullah ⟦AR:a307⟧ and found him in salaah. That was the 23rd night.” According to other reports again, the 24th is Laylatul Qadr. Hadhrat Abdullah ibn Mas’ood ⟦AR:a308⟧ said, “Whoever remains awake every night of the year in ibaadah can find Laylatul Qadr.” (In other words, the blessed night moves throughout the year and does not necessarily have to come in Ramadhaan only). Ibn Mas’ood ⟦AR:a309⟧ reports this view from Nabi ⟦AR:a310⟧. When this was mentioned to Hadhrat Ubay bin Kaab ⟦AR:a311⟧ he said; “Abdullah ibn Mas’ood ⟦AR:a312⟧ meant people will stay awake only on this night and become contented.” Thereafter he swore by Allah Ta’ala that Laylatul Qadr comes on 27th night. This is also the view held by numerous Sahaabah ⟦AR:a313⟧ as well as the Taabieen. Among the Imaams, the well-known opinion of Imaam Abu Hanifa (rahmatullahi alayh) is that Laylatul Qadr moves throughout the year, while another view of his is that it moves about throughout the month of Ramadhaan. However, His famous students, Imaam Muhammad (rahmatullahi alayh) and Imaam Abu Yusuf (rahmatullahi alayh), were of the opinion that this night is unknown and fixed on one special night during the holy month. The Shaafiee’s believe that it occurs probably on the 21st and Imaam Ahmad (rahmatullahi alayh) and Imaam Maalik (rahmatullahi alayh) hold the view that it is not fixed and occurs among the odd nights of the last ten nights of Ramadhaan, changing every year. But as for the vast majority of Ulama, their hope lies in that Laylatul Qadr is on 27th night every year. Ibn-e-Arabi (rahmatullahi alayh) says, “In my opinion the view of those who believe that Laylatul Qadr comes on various nights throughout the year, is most correct, because twice have I seen it in Sha’baan, once on the 15th and once on the 19th, and twice have I seen it in the middle ten nights of Ramadhaan, the 13th and the 18th. I have also seen it on every odd night of the last ten. For this reason, I am sure that it could occur on any night of the year but occurs mostly in Ramadhaan.” Shah Waliyullah (rahmatullahi alayh) of Delhi believed that Laylatul Qadr comes twice every year:","a) One Laylatul Qadr is that one on which Allah Ta’ala’s commands are revealed (to the Malaaikah). This is also the night on which the Qur-aan Shareef was sent down from the Lowhul Mahfooz to the heavens. This night does not come in Ramadhaan only but moves and can come on any night of the year. However, the night on which the Qur-aan Shareef was revealed fell in Ramadhaan and mostly falls during Ramadhaan.","b) The second Laylatul Qadr is the one of great spiritual value, when the Malaaikah come down in large numbers while the shayaateen are held back and a time when duas and ibaadah are accepted. This comes only in Ramadhaan during the odd nights of the last ten days. (This view of Shaah Waliyullah (rahmatullahi alayh) used to be the most acceptable to my late father). Anyway, whether there are only one or two Laylatul Qadr, the fact still remains that one has to search for it according to his courage and ability. If not throughout the year, then in Ramadhaan. If that also proves difficult, then during the last ten days. When that also seems a bit too much, then only in the odd numbered nights of the last ten days. If by chance one has wasted all the above mentioned opportunities too, then by no means should the 27th night be allowed to go by. If by Allah Ta’ala’s blessings and your good fortune that is Laylatul Qadr, then in comparison, all the wealth and pleasures of the world would be meaningless. Thus, even though that may not be the much searched for night, then at least the reward for ibaadah is received. The Maghrib and Isha salaah should be performed with Jamaat throughout the year because if it is Laylatul Qadr, then the reward for both is so much more. It is a great blessing of Allah Ta’ala that when one makes effort for Deen and is not successful in his efforts, he is at least still rewarded for the effort made. In spite of this, there are those who go all out to render their services for Deen. On the other hand, regarding worldly affairs, if a person doesn’t achieve his desired result, then his efforts are also written off as a waste. In spite of this, many people still spend their time, effort and wealth in worldly things that are fruitless and without purpose and also do not hold any reward or peace of mind.","⟦AR:a318⟧","“Look at the disparity of our paths from where to where.”","c2\u002Fs6",{"number":1485,"title":1640,"kind":76,"paragraphs":1641,"id":1644},"A SAHAABI ⟦AR:a319⟧ ENQUIRING ABOUT LAYLATUL QADR",[1642,1643],"⟦AR:a320⟧","Hadhrat Ubaadah bin Saamit ⟦AR:a323⟧ reports that he asked Rasulullah ⟦AR:a324⟧ about Laylatul Qadr. He replied, “It is in Ramadhaan during the last ten days, on the unevenly numbered nights, either the 21st, 23rd, 25th, 27th and 29th or the last night of the month of Ramadhaan, Whosoever stands in ibaadah on this night with sincere Imaan and with genuine hopes of gaining reward, his previous sins will be forgiven. Among the signs of this night is that it is a peaceful, quiet, shining night, neither too hot, nor too cold and the moon remains clear without any rays (due to the presence of abundant spiritual light). No stars are flung at the shayaateen on that night until the break of dawn. Another sign is that the sun rises without any radiant beams of light, appearing rather like the moon in its fullness. On that day Allah Ta’ala prohibits the shayaateen from rising up with the sun.” (contrary to other days when the shayaateen appear at the time of the rising of the sun) Note: Some of the things mentioned in this Hadith has already been explained earlier. However, this Hadith mentions some signs about the actual night. These signs are clear and need no further explanation. Apart from these signs, there are also other signs as found in the Hadith and also in the personal accounts of those who had the good fortune to experience Laylatul Qadr. However, the sign that is most common in the Hadith and generally witnessed, is the rising of the sun without any radiant beams of light. The other signs besides this are not necessarily always found. Hadhrat Ab’da bin Abi Lubaabah ⟦AR:a325⟧ says, “On the evening of the 27th, I tasted the water of the sea and it was sweet.” Hadhrat Ayoob bin Khaalid (rahmatullahi alayh) said, “When I once had to perform ghusl (bath) with sea water, then on tasting it, I found it to be sweet. This was on the 23rd night.” Some of the Mashaaikh write that on the evening of Laylatul Qadr everything makes sajdah on the ground and then return to their positions.

According to the Hanafi school of thought, there are three different types of itikaaf.","A) WAAJIB ITIKAAF:","This itikaaf becomes compulsory when a person makes it obligatory upon himself. An example of this is when a person makes a vow to Allah Ta’ala that if Allah Ta’ala fulfills a certain wish of his, he will undertake to perform a certain number of days in itikaaf. In this case, the moment his wish is fulfilled, itikaaf becomes compulsory. From the moment a Ramadhaan person makes an unconditional vow whereby he makes itikaaf waajib upon himself for certain number of days, then it becomes a Waajib duty on him.","B) SUNNAH ITIKAAF:","This was the general practice of Rasulullah ⟦AR:a336⟧ and it means to seclude oneself inside the masjid for the last ten days of Ramadhaan.","C) NAFL (OPTIONAL) ITIKAAF:","There is no special time or specific number of days for Nafl itikaaf. A person may make niyyah for any number of days at any time, even for his whole life. However, Imaam Abu Haneefah (rahmatullahi alayh)","states that it must be for at least one full day. Imaam Muhammad (rahmatullahi alayh) states that there is no limit on the minimum period of time. The fatwa is on this latter view. Therefore, it is desirable for anyone entering a Masjid to make the niyyah (intention) of itikaaf for the period that he will remain in the Masjid. So, while he is in ibaadah, he also gains the reward of itikaaf. In view of the above, it is advisable that anyone going the Masjid to join the Salaah with Jamaah should make the niyyah for itikaaf when entering the masjid. As long as he remains busy with Salaah, zikr, listening to lectures or sermons, etc., he will also receive the reward for itikaaf. I always observed that my late father used to make niyyah for itikaaf while stepping into the masjid with his right foot. Occasionally, by way of teaching and reminding his followers, he used to raise his voice when reciting the niyyah.","The reward for itikaaf is great. Rasulullah ⟦AR:a337⟧ constantly performed itikaaf. The example of the person who stays in the Masjid in itikaaf is like that person who had gone to a certain place for something and he remained there until it was granted.","⟦AR:a339⟧","May my soul be extracted at Your feet. This is my heart’s desire, This is my heart’s desire When someone comes begging to our door and then refuses to leave until he has been granted his request, I am sure that even the one with the hardest heart amongst us will eventually give in to his request. How much more merciful is Allah Ta’ala Who grants without any reason.","⟦AR:a342⟧","“You are that master whose doors of grace and mercy and perpetually open. Ask Hadhrat Moosa (alayhis salaam) about the amazing system of Allah Ta’ala’s Deen, that he left in search of a flame and returned? (the lamp of nubuwat).”","Hence, when one isolates himself from all worldly things and goes to Allah Ta’ala’s door, then what doubt can there be for his request and duas to be accepted. When Allah Ta’ala has favoured someone, others cannot describe the enjoyment of such limitless treasures. How could a person ever describe what he has not yet obtained? Can an under aged person describe the joys of adulthood?","⟦AR:a347⟧","“That rose I gave my heart to, that flower to whom I handed over my self, either I am connected to him otherwise there is no point in being alive.”","Allaamah ibn Qayyim (rahmatullahi alayh), on explaining the significance of itikaaf, writes that, “The actual aim of itikaaf is to divert the heart from everything except Allah Ta’ala, and to join it to Allah Ta’ala alone, thereby forming a complete spiritual connection with our Creator. All worldly connections are thus cut off for the sake of gaining Allah Ta’ala’s attention. All thoughts, desires, love and devotion become centered around Him. As a result, His love is attained, a love and friendship that will be the only friend in the loneliness of the grave. When a person has that, then we can imagine the great happiness and enjoyment with which he will spend his time in the grave?”","⟦AR:a351⟧","“Day and night the heart anticipates for that chance where I sit and go on thinking of my beloved.”","In ‘Maraaqil Falaah’, the author writes that itikaaf is a most rewarding deed when performed properly and sincerely. One cannot possibly list all the great advantages and benefits in it. In actual fact, what takes place in itikaaf, is that the heart is drawn away from everything else except the Creator, while our entire life is laid down at His doorstep.","⟦AR:a353⟧","“Again my heart desires to go and remain at the threshold of someone and be indebted to the one who kindly let me in.”","One remains in ibaadah all the time. Even whilst one is asleep, one is still in His service, striving for nearness to Him. Allah Ta’ala says (according to a Hadith): “Whoever draws near to Me (the length of) one hand, then I draw nearer to him (the length of) two hands, and whoever draws near to Me by walking, I draw near to him by running.” In itikaaf one goes to Allah Ta’ala’s house and the most Kind Host always honours a guest who visits Him. The one in itikaaf also attains safety in Allah Ta’ala’s fortress where no enemy can reach him. Besides this there are numerous other virtues and distinctive features of this important ibaadah.","For males, the best of all places for itikaaf is the Masjidul Haraam in Makkah Mukarramah. The next best is the Masjidun Nabawi in Madinah Munawwarah, and the next best is Baitul Muqaddas. Thereafter, comes the Jaam’i Masjid in one’s own town, and last but not least, the Masjid nearest to one’s home. Imaam Abu Hanifah (rahmatullahi alayh) specifies that the Masjid should be one wherein the five daily Salaah are performed, while Imaam Abu Yusuf (rahmatullahi alayh) and Imaam Muhammad (rahmatullahi alayh) are agreed that any Masjid according to the Shariah can be entered for itikaaf, even if there is no regular Salaah with Jamaah. As for the females, they should perform itikaaf in the Masjid inside their homes. However, where no Masjid exists and there is a desire for itikaaf, then one room of the house should be set aside for this purpose.","In fact, itikaaf is an easier task for women. A special section of the house, most commonly the Salaah room, is set aside wherein they seclude themselves, remaining in ibaadah. The woman who is in itikaaf, in a section of her home, will also be rewarded for the domestic duties that are carried out by her daughters or servants. It is so very unfortunate that in spite of such ease, our womenfolk still remain deprived of the blessings of itikaaf.","c3\u002Fs1",{"number":1394,"title":1692,"kind":76,"paragraphs":1693,"id":1698},"RASULULLAH ⟦AR:a355⟧ IN ITIKAAF",[1694,1695,1696,1697],"⟦AR:a356⟧","Hadhrat Abu Saeed Khudri ⟦AR:a360⟧ reports that Rasulullah ⟦AR:a361⟧ once performed itikaaf for the first ten days of Ramadhaan. Thereafter, he made itikaaf in a Turkish tent (inside the Masjid) for the middle ten days. Thereafter, he raised his head out of the tent and said, “Verily, in search of Laylatul Qadr did I perform itikaaf for the first ten days, then for the middle ten days. Then someone (a Malaaikah) came and told me, ‘It is in the last ten days. Whosoever has made itikaaf with me should continue for the last ten days.’ I had been shown that night and then made to forget it. (However, a sign for it is), ‘I saw myself making sajdah to Allah Ta’ala with my forehead on mud the next morning. Look for Laylatul Qadr in the last ten nights of Ramadhaan. Look for it among the odd nights.” Abu Saeed ⟦AR:a362⟧ says; “That same night it rained. The roof of the Masjid leaked.","I looked at Rasulullah’s ⟦AR:a363⟧ eyes and forehead and there were remains of water and mud. This was on the morning of the 21st after performing sujood on muddy clay.”","Note: It used to be the general practice of Rasulullah ⟦AR:a364⟧ to perform itikaaf in Ramadhaan. At times he used to remain in the Masjid for the whole month, and during the last year of his life, he was in itikaaf for twenty days. Because he always secluded himself in the Masjid for the last ten days, therefore the Ulama consider it sunnah mu’akkadah to perform itikaaf for that period. From the above Hadith it could be understood that the major object behind itikaaf was to search for Laylatul Qadr. What better method can there be than to be in itikaaf, because one is considered to be in ibaadah all the time, whether one is awake or asleep. Furthermore, one in itikaaf is free from all daily tasks and thus has all the time to devote to zikrullah and muraaqabah (meditation). There is no better way to spend ones time for those searching for Laylatul Qadr Rasulullah ⟦AR:a365⟧ exerted himself throughout Ramadhaan but increased his ibaadah when the last ten days came along and he had no limit in exerting himself. He himself remained awake throughout the night and awakened his family members for the same purpose. Aa’ishah ⟦AR:a366⟧ reports: “During Ramadhaan, Rasullullah ⟦AR:a367⟧ tied his lungi tightly around him, staying awake all night and waking his family (for the purpose of ibaadah).” Tied his lungi tightly means that he either knew no limits in exerting himself in Ramadhaan ibaadah or that he gave due importance and preference to ibaadah and avoided all forms of contact with his respected wives.","c3\u002Fs2",{"number":1430,"title":1700,"kind":76,"paragraphs":1701,"id":1709},"REWARDS FOR ITIKAAF",[1702,1703,1704,1705,1706,1707,1708],"⟦AR:a368⟧","Hadhrat Ibn Abbas ⟦AR:a372⟧ relates that Rasulullah ⟦AR:a373⟧ said, “The person performing itikaaf remains free from sins, and he is given the same reward as those who do good deeds in spite of not having done those deeds because of staying in the Masjid.”","(Note that the one remaining secluded in the Masjid is not allowed to depart from there for worldly needs. He may only go outside for the call of nature, to perform wudhu or ghusl or for attending Jumu-ah Salaah when that is not performed in the same Masjid, after which he must return immediately - translator).","Note: Now this Hadith points to two great benefits of itikaaf. Firstly, one is saved from sin as it is true that it very often happens that one falls into sin without ever intending to do so. (The world all around us is full of temptations). To commit sin in the blessed month of Ramadhaan is indeed a great injustice to ourselves. By remaining secluded in the Masjid, one completely avoids the temptation to commit sin. Secondly, it would appear outwardly that when one is secluded in the Masjid, one is automatically at a disadvantage by not being allowed to perform certain good deeds like joining the janaza Salaah, attending burials, visiting the sick, etc. That is not so, because according to this Hadith one is rewarded for these deeds even though not performing them. What a great favour from Allah Ta’ala! How great is Allah Ta’ala‘s bounty! By performing one ibaadah, one receives the reward of many other ibaadahs. In fact, Allah Ta’ala looks for the smallest excuse to reward His servants. These rewards could be received in abundance with ⟦AR:a374⟧ a little effort and begging.","“Allah Ta’ala mercy creates excuses (to usher you in)” If only we can understand and properly appreciate these favours. The proper appreciation and understanding can only enter our minds when we have the true love and interest for our Deen.","⟦AR:a378⟧","“Shaheedi! His grace covers everything.

Ibn Abbaas ⟦AR:a386⟧ said to him: “I see that you seem sad and troubled.” The man replied: “Yes, O son of the uncle of Rasulullah ⟦AR:a387⟧, I am indeed troubled in that I have an obligation to fulfil to someone. I swear by the honour of the inmate of this honoured resting place (Rasulullah’s ⟦AR:a388⟧ grave) that I am not able to fulfil this obligation.” Ibn Abbaas ⟦AR:a389⟧ inquired: “Shall I intercede with that person on your behalf?” The man replied: “By all means if you wish so.” Ibn Abbaas ⟦AR:a390⟧ put on his shoes and proceeded from the Masjid. The man, seeing this, said: “Have you forgotten that you are in Itikaaf?” With tears filling his eyes, Ibn Abbaas ⟦AR:a391⟧ replied: “No, the time is still fresh in my mind, I heard the esteemed master of this grave say, ‘Whoever goes out trying to fulfil a need of his brother, that service shall be better for him than to perform Itikaaf for ten years, and whomsoever performs Itikaaf for a day, thereby seeking the pleasure of Allah Ta’ala, then Allah Ta’ala will open three trenches between him and the fire of Jahannam, the width of each being greater than the distance between heaven and earth.’” (If this is the virtue of one day of itikaaf then what will be the reward of ten years of itikaaf?) Note: Two things are clear from this Hadith. Firstly, we are told that the reward of one day in itikaaf is that Allah Ta’ala opens three trenches between him and the fire of Jahannam, the width of each trench is the distance between the heavens and the earth. Therefore, for every additional day that he performs itikaaf, he is rewarded accordingly. In ‘Kashful Ghummah’, Allamah Sharaani (rahmatullahi alayh) relates a Hadith wherein Rasulullah ⟦AR:a392⟧ said, “Whoever performs itikaaf for the final ten days of Ramadhaan, he will be rewarded with two Haj and two Umrahs, and whoever performs itikaaf from Maghrib until Ishaa, doing nothing except performing Salaah and reciting the Qur-aan, Allah Ta’ala will prepare a palace in Jannah for him.” Secondly, and even more important we are told that fulfilling the need of a brother brings a reward that is greater than ten years of itikaaf. It was for this reason that Ibn Abbaas ⟦AR:a393⟧ broke off his itikaaf. It was of course possible for him to continue it afterwards. (What he actually did was to leave the Masjid to relieve some suffering of his brother, who was greatly troubled in the heart and mind). The Sufis say that the amount of sympathy which Allah Ta’ala shows towards other things cannot be compared to the sympathy He shows towards a broken heart. Ramadhaan It is for this reason that we have been strongly warned of the plea to Allah Ta’ala of that person, whose heart we hurt through unjust treatment and persecution. Whenever Rasulullah ⟦AR:a394⟧ appointed someone as a governor, amongst the many advices he gave, he also would say,","⟦AR:a395⟧","“Be mindful of the dua of the oppressed.”","⟦AR:a396⟧","“Fear the pain of the opresser, since the moment he engages in dua, his petition is most welcomed in the court of Allah.”","Note: Itikaaf breaks when one leaves the Masjid even for fulfilling a duty on behalf of a fellow Muslim. If it was a waajib itikaaf, then it has to be performed all over again. Rasulullah ⟦AR:a398⟧ never left the Masjid except for the calls of nature and wudhu. As for Ibn Abbaas ⟦AR:a399⟧ leaving the Masjid to fulfil a need of a friend, it was in the same spirit of that soldier lying on the battlefield of Yarmouk close to death, refusing to drink water until the soldier next to him had been given to drink first. On the other hand, however, it is possible that Ibn Abbaas ⟦AR:a400⟧ was performing nafl itikaaf, in which case it was permissible for him to leave the Masjid. In conclusion I now wish to quote a lengthy Hadith hereunder, in which many virtues are mentioned and with this I conclude this book.","c3\u002Fs4",{"number":1461,"title":1722,"kind":76,"paragraphs":1723,"id":1777},"GREAT REWARDS GIVEN TO THIS UMMAH IN RAMADHAAN AND ON THE DAY OF EIDUL FITR",[1724,1725,1726,1727,1728,1729,1730,1731,1732,1733,1734,1735,1736,1737,1738,1739,1740,1741,1742,1743,1744,1745,1746,1747,1748,1749,1750,1751,1752,1753,1754,1755,1756,1757,1758,1759,1760,1761,1762,1763,1764,1765,1766,1767,1768,1769,1770,1771,1772,1773,1774,1775,1776],"⟦AR:a401⟧","Hadhrat Ibn Abbaas ⟦AR:a409⟧ says that he heard Nabi ⟦AR:a410⟧ saying, “Jannah is perfumed with the sweetest fragrance in Ramadhaan. From the beginning of the year till the end, it is being brightly decorated for this blessed month. When the first night of Ramadhaan appears, a wind blows from beneath the Arsh (Throne). It is called ‘Museerah’, which causes the leaves of the trees of Jannah to rustle and the door handles to sound, causing such a beautiful sound as had never been heard before. The beautiful eyed women of Jannah then step forward till they appear in the center of the balconies of Jannah, saying: ‘Is there anyone making dua to Allah Ta’ala for us that Allah Ta’ala may marry us to him?’ Then these women call out: ‘O Ridwaan, keeper of Jannah, what night is this?’ He replies: ‘Labbaik, this is the first night of Ramadhaan, when the doors of Jannah are opened to those who fast from among the Ummah of Nabi Muhammad ⟦AR:a411⟧.’” Rasulullah ⟦AR:a412⟧ further said, that Allah Ta’ala says, “O Ridhwaan, open the doors of Jannah, and O Maalik, (keeper of Jahannam) close the doors of Jahannam for those who fast from the Ummah of Ahmad ⟦AR:a413⟧ (another name for Nabi ⟦AR:a414⟧), O Jibra-eel! Go down to the earth and tie the evil Shayaateen, put them in chains and throw them in the oceans so that they do not make mischief, thereby spoiling the fast of the Ummah of My beloved Muhammad ⟦AR:a415⟧.” Allah Ta’ala commands a caller from the heavens to call out three times on every night of Ramadhaan: “Is there anyone begging of Me that I may grant him his desire? Is there anyone making taubah so that I may turn in mercy to him? Is there anyone begging for forgiveness so that I may forgive him? Who is there who shall give a loan to the One whose wealth does not become less and the One who fulfils in full without giving less?” Rasulullah ⟦AR:a416⟧ then said, “Every day at the time of iftaar, Allah Ta’ala sets free one million people from the fire of Jahannam, all of whom had already earned entrance into Jahannam. On the last night He sets free as many as had been set free throughout the month. On Laylatul Qadr, Allah Ta’ala commands Hadhrat Jibra-eel (alayhis salaam) to go down to the earth with a large army of Malaaikah (Angels). They go down carrying a green flag which is then planted on top of the Kabah Shareef. Jibra-eel (alayhis salaam) himself has 100 wings, only two of which are spread out on this night. He spreads out these wings which cover from the east to the west. Jibra-eel (alayhis salaam) then sends out the Malaaikah on this night in all directions to make salaam upon each and every one they find in ibaadah standing or sitting, or performing Salaah and making the zikr of Allah Ta’ala. They shake hands with them and say ‘Aameen’ to all their duas until the morning. When dawn comes, Jibra-eel (alayhis salaam) calls out; ‘Depart O Malaaikah of Allah, depart.’” The Malaaikah then inquire: “O Jibra-eel! What did Allah Ta’ala do regarding the needs of the faithful people from among the ummah of Ahmad ⟦AR:a417⟧ which they asked from Him?” Jibra-eel (alayhis salaam) replies: “Allah Ta’ala looked at them with mercy and forgave them all except four kinds of people.” Then we (the Sahaabah ⟦AR:a418⟧) asked: “Who are they, O Rasulullah ⟦AR:a419⟧?” Rasulullah ⟦AR:a420⟧ replied, “They are the people who are addicted to wine, those who are disobedient to their parents, those who do not speak to their near relatives and the mushaahin.” We asked, “O Rasulullah ⟦AR:a421⟧, who are the mushaahin?” He replied: “Those who have bad feelings in their hearts for their brothers and break off relations with them.” The night of Eidul Fitr, the night that is called Laylatul Jaa’izah (The night of prize giving), comes along. On the morning of Eid, Allah Ta’ala sends down the Malaaikah to all the lands of the earth, where they stand at the entrance of roads, calling out with a voice that is heard by all except man and jinn: “O Ummah of Muhammad ⟦AR:a422⟧, come out of your houses towards your Rabb who is noble and gracious, who grants much and forgives major sins.” When they go towards the places for their Eid Salaah, Allah Ta’ala ask the Malaaikah: “What is the reward of that worker who has completed his work?” The Malaaikah reply: “O Rabb and Master, it is only right that he should receive his reward in full.” Allah Ta’ala then says: “I make you a witness, O My Malaaikah, as a reward, I have granted them My pleasure and forgiveness for having fasted during the month of Ramadhaan and for having stood before Me in salaah at night. O My servants, ask now of Me, for I swear by My honour and My greatness, that whatever you will beg of Me on this day, in this gathering of yours for the needs of the Hereafter, I will grant it to you, and whatever you will ask for your worldly needs, I will grant it what is good for you. I swear by My honour that as long as you shall obey My commands, I shall cover up your faults. By My Honour and My Greatness do I swear that I shall never disgrace you together with the sinful ones and the disbelievers. Go now from here, you are forgiven. You have pleased Me and I am pleased with you.” The Malaaikah, on seeing this great reward given by Allah Ta’ala to the Ummah of Nabi Muhammad ⟦AR:a423⟧ on the day of Eidul Fitr, become greatly pleased and happy. “O Allah Ta’ala, make us also of those lucky ones, Aameen.”","Note: The previous pages of this book already dealt with almost all that is contained in this last long Hadith. However, a few points need attention. The first point and most important point is that there are a few people who are deprived of forgiveness in Ramadhaan and are unfortunate indeed in not being able to share the great gifts of Allah Ta’ala on the morning of Eid. Among them are those who fight and argue among themselves and those disobedient to their parents. Somebody should ask them: “You have displeased Allah Ta’ala, and having done so, what other protection do you have besides Allah Ta’ala? We indeed feel sad that for some reason or the other, you have made yourselves the target for the curse of Allah Ta’ala, His Rasool ⟦AR:a424⟧ and Jibra-eel (alayhis salaam) while at the same time being left out from Allah Ta’ala’s freely granted forgiveness. Today you have disgraced your opponent and you are standing tall; for how long is this “victory” going to last? Who else can grant you protection? Who and what can stand by your side when you carry the curse of Rasulullah ⟦AR:a425⟧? Who can help you when Allah Ta’ala’s close Malaaikah, Jibra-eel (alayhis salaam) has made dua against you? While Allah Ta’ala is excluding you from His forgiveness and mercy, I plead with you, my dear brother and sister, to think about your position at this moment. Think and stay away from all that draws you away from Allah Ta’ala. There is time to make amends and repent, and now is that time. Tomorrow you shall have to stand before a Judge before whom no rank, honour, position and wealth will be of any help. A Judge before whom only amaal (good deeds) will count and Who is indeed aware of everything we do. Remember that Allah Ta’ala may forgive our sins as far as our relationship with Him is concerned, but as far as our dealing with people is concerned, He will not forgive us without us repaying them for not fulfilling their rights. Rasulullah ⟦AR:a426⟧ said, “The bankrupt one from among my Ummah is that person who shall appear on the day of Qiyaamah, bringing with him good deeds like Salaah, saum (fast) and charity. However, he had also sworn at someone, falsely accused someone and assaulted someone, with the result that all these people shall come forward complaining and bearing witness against him. As a repayment, his good deeds shall be taken away and granted to the aggrieved persons. When his good deeds are finished, the aggrieved persons sins shall be put upon him because of him not being able to repay the full penalty through lack of good deeds. Hence, in this manner he shall enter Jahannam. We Ramadhaan cannot describe his regret and sorrow in spite of him having had many good deeds to his account. (O Allah Ta’ala, save us from that, Ameen)","⟦AR:a427⟧","“It is not surprising for him who’s lost all hope to look towards the sky, when every leg of the journey he sees his efforts going in vain.”","Another point that needs explanation is this: we have come across many occasions and actions that cause one’s sins to be forgiven – the question arises that when the sins have been forgiven on the first occasion, which sin are then forgiven later? In other words, once a person had been forgiven there are no sins left on him. So why is forgiveness granted again? The answer is this: when Allah Ta’ala’s mercy and forgiveness descends upon mankind, those who have (a burden of) sins, their sins are wiped out and those (fortunate) people without (a burden of) sin are blessed and favored with Allah Ta’ala’s mercy (Rahmat and in’aamaat) and bounties. A further interesting point to note is that Allah Ta’ala time and again calls the Malaaikah to witness. The question may arise why is that so? Here one should remember that the questioning of the day of Qiyaamah has been set and witnesses will be brought forward to testify. Hence, Ambiya (alayhis salaam) will be required to bring witnesses as to whether they had delivered the message. Very often our Nabi ⟦AR:a428⟧ used to say, “Verily you shall be asked about me (and my mission). So, bear witness that I did deliver the message.” In Bukhaari Shareef we read a Hadith: “On the day of Qiyaamah, Hadhrat Nooh (alayhis salaam) will be called and asked, “Did you deliver the message in the proper manner?” He shall reply, “Yes I did.” Then his Ummah shall be asked, “Did he deliver the message?” They shall reply,","⟦AR:a429⟧","“No, neither did a bringer of glad tiding come to us nor did the Warner.” (Surah Maa’idah - Aayah 19) “Thereupon Nooh (alayhis salaam) will be called to bring witnesses. He shall call upon Hadhrat Muhammad ⟦AR:a430⟧ and his Ummah. This Ummah shall be called forward and they shall testify to the truth of Nooh (alayhis salaam’s) evidence.” In some versions of this Hadith, this Ummah shall be cross questioned, “How do you know that Nooh (alayhis salaam) delivered the message of Allah Ta’ala, (When you were not present at that time?)” They shall reply, “Our Nabi ⟦AR:a431⟧ informed us of that.” In this same manner all the Ambiyaa (alayhis salaam) will be questioned. For this the Qur-aan-e-Kareem says,","⟦AR:a432⟧","“Thus, we made you an Ummah, justly balanced, that you might be witnesses over the nations.” (Surah Baqarah - Aayah 143)","Imaam Fakhrud Deen Raazi (rahmatullahi alaih) writes that on the day of Qiyaamah there shall be four types of witnesses:","1. The Malaaikah. The Qur-aan says:","⟦AR:a433⟧","1.1. “Every soul shall come with an angel (who will take him to the place where he will be questioned) and a witness (the angel who has recorded all his actions).” (Surah Qaaf - Aayah 21)","⟦AR:a434⟧","1.2. “Whenever a word escapes (from a persons mouth), there is a guard ready by him (an angel immediately records it, be it good or bad) (Surah Qaaf - Aayah 18)","⟦AR:a435⟧","1.3. “Verily there are guardians (angels) upon you (with every person) who are noble and (continuously) recording (everything you say). They know what you do.” (Surah Infitaar - Aayah 10-12)","2. The Ambiyaa (alayhis salaam). The Qur-aan says:","⟦AR:a436⟧","2.1. “And I was a witness to them as long as I was with them.” (Surah Maa’idah - Aayah 117)","⟦AR:a437⟧","2.2. “How will it be (the condition of the kuffaar on the day of Qiyaamah) when We shall bring forth a witness from every nation and call you (O Muhammad ⟦AR:a438⟧) to be a witness over all of them?” (Surah Nisaa - Aayah 41)","3. The Ummah of Muhammad ⟦AR:a439⟧, the following Aayaat refer to this:","⟦AR:a440⟧","3.1. “and the Ambiya and the witnesses will be brought.” (Surah Zumar - Aayah 69)","4. The different parts of a man’s body.Thus, the Qur-aan Shareef states:","⟦AR:a441⟧","“On the day (of Qiyaamah) when their tongues, hands and legs will testify against them for what they did.” (Surah Noor - Aayah 24)","⟦AR:a442⟧","4.1. “On this day (day of Qiyaamah) We shall seal their mouths, but their hands will speak to Us and their legs will testify to what they earned\u002F did.” (Surah Yaaseen - Aayah 65) The last Hadith also mentions one glad tiding for the fortunate ones. Allah Ta’ala says that those who were obedient to him will not be disgraced and humiliated in front of the disbelievers and sinners. This is the great extent of Allah Ta’ala’s grace and kindness and also the regard Allah Ta’ala shows for the status of the Muslims. Another of Allah Ta’ala’s blessing and favour for those who sought his pleasure is that their faults and sins will be covered up on this occasion. Hadhrat Abdullah ibn ‘Umar ⟦AR:a443⟧ reports that Rasulullah ⟦AR:a444⟧ said, “On the day of Qiyaamah Allah Ta’ala will call a believer to come near to Him and a curtain will be drawn so that no one else can see. Allah Ta’ala will then remind him of each and every sin of his which he will admit to. On seeing his numerous sins, that person will feel that he had indeed failed and shall be doomed. But then Allah Ta’ala will say: ‘In the world I covered your faults and today also I will hide them and forgive you.’” Thereafter his book of good deeds will be given to him. The contents of this Hadith is also contained in many other Ahaadith as well. One should therefore be careful of not humiliating and attacking the righteous ones for their sins, because it is possible that their sins will be forgiven. In the end we may be the real losers due to backbiting, mocking and insulting those who, in their own manner, seek to please Allah Ta’ala. It is possible that Allah Ta’ala may cover their faults and forgive them through the blessings of their other good deeds, while we, who continue to backbite, mock and insult them, may be the cause of our own destruction. (May Allah Ta’ala, in His Mercy, forgive us all). This Hadith also states that the night before the day of Eid is called the night of prize giving, the night when Allah Ta’ala gives the true reward to his servants. This night should also be properly appreciated. Once an announcement has been made that tomorrow is Eid, many of us, including the pious, go to sleep, whereas this is also a night that should be spent in Ibaadah. Rasulullah ⟦AR:a445⟧ said, “Whoever remains awake (for ibaadah) on the nights preceding both the Eids with the aim of gaining reward, his heart will not die on that day when hearts will die.” The meaning here is that at the time when evil will overcome all hearts, his heart shall stay alive (guarded against evil). It may also refer to the time when the soor (trumpet) shall be blown to announce the day of Qiyaamah, then on that day his soul shall not become unconscious. Rasulullah ⟦AR:a446⟧ is also reported to have said, “Whoever stays awake for Ibaadah on the following five nights, entrance into Jannah becomes waajib for him, Laylatut Tarwiyah (the night before the 8th Zul Hijjah), Laylatul Arafah (the night before the 9th Zul Hijjah), Laylatun Nahr (the night before the 10th Zul Hijjah), the night before Eidul Fitr and the night of 15th Sha’baan. The fuqahaa have written that it is mustahab to remain in ibaadah Ramadhaan on the nights before Eid. It is reported in ‘Maa sabata bis Sunnah’ from Imaam Shaafiee (rahmatullahi alayh) that there are five nights in which duas are accepted; the night before Friday, the night before both Eids, the first night of Rajab, and Laylatul Bara’ah (15th Shabaan).","Among the pious, it is said that because of the exceptional greatness of Friday night, one should spend this night in ibaadah during the month of Ramadhaan. But there are some Ahaadith that prohibit us from fixing only that particular night for ibaadah. Therefore, it is advisable that one or two other nights should also be joined with it.","In conclusion, as I have now come to the end of this book, I hope that this will be of benefit to those who seek Allah Ta’ala’s pleasure. I beg and plead for all the readers to make dua for me (the humble writer of these pages), during those special hours of Ramadhaan. It is possible that because of your dua, Allah Ta’ala will bestow His happiness and love upon me too, Aameen. Readers are humbly requested to also include in their dua’s the founder, past and present staff, pupils and associates of this Institute.","⟦AR:a452⟧","O king of the universe! Eventhough I am in the wrong and most unworthy, but then, O my beloved! Besides you where else can I go. Besides you who else can there be for a destitute like me.","⟦AR:a455⟧","Please do not look at my deeds (and pass judgement), instead look at me with your eye of grace. In the distress of despair I am destroyed.O my Rabb, bless me with your mercy, kindness and grace.","⟦AR:a456⟧","Above me is my load of sin, below me is the ocean of trial. The army of distress has surrounded me from all sides. Please come quickly to my rescue.

Yes, for the sake of Allah Ta’ala, Darde Dil (your love) is what I desire","⟦AR:a464⟧","I fully acknowledge your unlimited blessings upon me in this world, my understanding, my sanity, my rational etc. Now O My Cherisher! I beg of you that bounty which will see me through forever. Ramadhaan","⟦AR:a465⟧","This unfortunate one has now reached the point of desperation. O Allah! Now is the time I need your help. Out of your shoreless grace and mercy….please assist me.","⟦AR:a473⟧","On the one hand I admit being a sinful slave full of faults and error. Yet it is you, O Allah, whose attributes is the most forgiving that gives me the courage (to still come to you) whatever I may be, at the end, I am still referred to you as yours.","⟦AR:a475⟧","You are the curer, you are the one sufficient for me in all my concerns. You are enough for me, you are my Rabb, you are the most execellent manager of my affairs.","(Hadhrat Moulana) Muhammad Zakariyya Kandhlawi (RA) Resident at Madrasah Mazahirul Uloom Saharanpur U.P.
