The Importance of Correctly Understanding “لا إله إلا الله”

If the understanding of the people are deviated from the correct meaning of (لا إله إلا الله), what kind of deviation do you think will happen to the religion of the people? Therefore, from the most emphasized obligations and from the most important of affairs, is that the Muslim has correct understanding of this tremendous statement (لا إله إلا الله). When an individual wants what will aid him in having correct understanding of لا إله إلا الله, I direct you to a way, which I believe has a tremendous benefit. I advise with it and I also advise it to be propagated, in specifically understanding لا إله إلا الله.

While we are speaking about the dangers of the shortcomings in understanding لا إله إلا الله and the incorrect understandings that exist in the books that the people have, I direct you to a beneficial way in understanding this statement, also this understanding will be remembered daily, by way of a narrated Sunnah from our Prophet.

A Prophetic Remembrance for Nourishing the Heart

I am not narrating a statement from myself nor a statement from a scholar. Rather I only narrate to you the statement of the Messenger of Allah, regarding something you do everyday. And it nourishes the correct understanding of لا إله إلا الله in the hearts. And its affair is amazing سبحان الله. And everything from the Sunnah is blessed. Whoever is blessed to preserve the narrated Sunnah from our Prophet and act upon it, there is an effect upon him, especially the narrated remembrances from our Prophet. All of you have memorized and act upon the authentic remembrance, that is said at the end of each prayer from the Hadith of Mughirah and Abdullah ibn Zubayr. That which is stated in this Hadith, and I request complete focus from everyone, because this is from the loftiest affairs the Muslim should take heed to, and most tremendous affairs the Muslim should take heed to.

The Three Tahlilat After Prayer

When you look at the Hadith, three Tahlilat (the utterance of لا إله إلا الله) are stated, that is legislated for you to say after each prayer.

لا إله إلا الله، وحده لا شريك له، له الملك، وله الحمد، وهو على كل شيء قدير

لا إله إلا الله، ولا نعبد إلا إياه، له النعمة، وله الفضل، وله الثناء الحسن

لا إله إلا الله، مخلصين له الدين، ولو كره الكافرون

It is legislated for you to repeat these three Tahlilat daily after each prayer. This repetition is a nourishment for your heart, O Muslim, in understanding لا إله إلا الله and establishing its meaning. And this is what is intended by the legislated remembrances. It is not merely statements that are said. Rather it is a nourishment for the heart. So when you read these remembrances daily at the end of each prayer as legislated, and you are conscious, then you are renewing this Tawhid and this belief in لا إله إلا الله in your heart.

Breakdown of the First Tahlil: Negation, Affirmation, and Evidence

لا إله إلا الله، وحده لا شريك له، له الملك، وله الحمد، وهو على كل شيء قدير

لا إله إلا الله (There is no deity worthy of worship except Allah) – We said that this includes negation and affirmation, a general negation and a specific affirmation.

وحده لا شريك له (alone without any partner) – This is an emphasis of the negation and the affirmation that the statement لا إله إلا الله guides to. The statement: وحده (alone), emphasizes: إلا الله (except Allah). And the statement: لا شريك له (alone without any partner), emphasizes: لا إله (There is no deity worthy of worship). It is stated as an emphasis giving attention to the status of Tawhid and its lofty significance, emphasizing the negation and affirmation that the statement لا إله إلا الله guides to. لا إله إلا الله، وحده لا شريك له. You are emphasizing the meaning that is in لا إله إلا الله.

After that: له الملك، وله الحمد، وهو على كل شيء قدير (His is the dominion and His is the praise and He is Able to do all things.) – These are the evidences for Tawhid. You worship Allah and single Him out because His is the dominion alone! These are all evidences of Tawhid. Similar to this is: الله لا إله إلا هو… Allah! None has the right to be worshipped but He… This is Tawhid. الحي القيوم لا تأخذه سنة ولا نوم the Ever Living, the One Who sustains and protects all that exists. Neither slumber, nor sleep overtake Him… until the end of the verse, these are all evidences of Tawhid.

Breakdown of the Second Tahlilat:

Explanation and Sincerity

[2] لا إله إلا الله، ولا نعبد إلا إياه،
(There is no deity worthy of worship except Allah and we worship none except Him…)

ولا نعبد إلا إياه، (and we worship none except Him…) This is an explanation. You read the statement of Tawhid then you follow it with the reality of its meaning. ولا نعبد إلا إياه، (and we worship none except Him…) is the meaning of لا إله إلا الله that we don’t worship none except Allah.

له النعمة، وله الفضل، وله الثناء الحسن
(to Him belongs the bounty and to Him belongs the grace, and to Him belongs all excellent praise…) These are the evidences of Tawhid.

Breakdown of the Third Tahlilat:

The last Tahlil that you say after it:

[3] لا إله إلا الله، مخلصين له الدين، ولو كره الكافرون
There is no deity worthy of worship except Allah, being sincere to Him in religion, although the disbelievers dislike it.

In this it shows that لا إله إلا الله includes making the religion sincerely for Allah. As Allah the Most High said:

ألا لله الدين الخالص
Surely the religion is for Allah only.﴾ al-Zumar:3 ﴿

وما أمروا إلا ليعبدوا الله مخلصين له الدين
And they were commanded not, but that they should worship Allah, and worship none but Him Alone…﴾ al-Bayyinah:5 ﴿

فادعوه مخلصين له الدين
so invoke Him making your worship pure for Him Alone…﴾ Ghafir:65﴿

And that which is pure is that which is unadulterated. This is how the religion should be, sincere, pure, nothing is intended from it except Allah.

The Comprehensive Explanation Derived from the Prophet

If it was said to one of us: What is the meaning of لا إله إلا الله ? Don’t go to any book. Take the explanation from this remembrance that you repeat, which your Prophet taught you, in nourishing this tremendous affair, which is from the most important of affairs.

So if it is said to you: What is the explanation of لا إله إلا الله , what is its meaning? From the compilation of these three Tahlilat, you are able to summarize the explanation of لا إله إلا الله. Listen to the explanation from these three statements and write it down. The meaning of لا إله إلا الله that we worship none except Him alone without any partner being sincere to Him in religion… Whose explanation is this? The Messenger! It is not the explanation of a scholar you believe that such and such is possible… This is the explanation of the Messenger who commanded you to repeat these Tahlilat, and to follow him in repeating this five times every day.

In this is a tremendous benefit in establishing this affair, and making it firm in the hearts of the slaves. So if it is said: What is the meaning of لا إله إلا الله ? Explain it with the statement of the Messenger that is in this Hadith. A second time, its explanation in light of these remembrances that are repeated every day: The meaning of لا إله إلا الله : that we worship none except Him. This is from the second Tahlil. alone without any partner This is from the first Tahlil. being sincere to Him in religion… This is from the third Tahlil.

From this day forth, every time you read these Tahlilat, you remember this, which I believe is beneficial and important for every Muslim. And if someone is trialed with some obscurities and it diverts his understanding, and he is he given another meaning of it, he says: The Messenger of Allah is sufficient for us from the statement of everyone else! If the river of Allah comes, then the river of Zayd and Amr is worthless. We are not in need of it. This is the statement of the Messenger.

Quranic Proofs and the Danger of Deviant Interpretations

There are plenty verses in the Qur’an that explain to you لا إله إلا الله with the same meaning. When you read:

واعبدوا الله ولا تشركوا به شيئا
Worship Allah and join none with Him (in worship)…﴾ al-Nisa:36 ﴿

وقضى ربك ألا تعبدوا إلا إياه
And your Lord has decreed that you worship none but Him…﴾ al-Isra:23 ﴿

وما أمروا إلا ليعبدوا الله مخلصين له الدين
And they were commanded not, but that they should worship Allah, and worship none but Him Alone…﴾ al-Bayyinah:5 ﴿

إنني براء مما تعبدون إلا الذي فطرني فإنه سيهدين وجعلها كلمة باقية في عقبه
Verily, I am innocent of what you worship Except Him who created me and verily, He will guide me. And he made it a Word lasting among his offspring.﴾ al-Zukhruf:26-28.

These are all statements that explain لا إله إلا الله. Therefore, the Imam, reviver and rectifier, Shaykh al-Islam Muhammad ibn Abdulwahhab, when he put together the chapters in the introduction of his book Kitab al-Tawhid, all of it is in emphasizing the correct understanding of Tawhid, he put together a chapter for the explanation for Tawhid and لا إله إلا الله. He didn’t come with anything from himself. Rather he brought verses that explain the meaning of لا إله إلا الله. And he brought Ahadith that explain the meaning of لا إله إلا الله. You read them and understand from them the meaning of Tawhid.

The Consequences of Incorrect Understanding

After today, if someone from them comes and says that لا إله إلا الله means: There is no one that is able to create except Allah. Or he explains the singling out of His worship to mean singling Him out in being the Creator. An individual mustn’t believe that this incorrect explanation is something insignificant. This is a loss! This is a loss of the religion of the people.

When one comes with the statement which the religion is built upon, and causes the lay people to understand it incorrectly, what kind of deviation for the lay people do you think will occur because of this? Therefore, you find that some of the lay people repeat لا إله إلا الله , and they perform actions that nullify it. But because they have an incorrect understanding of it, they don’t believe that these actions nullify لا إله إلا الله. Because they had an incorrect understanding of لا إله إلا الله. Therefore, this affair is considered from the greatest and most important of affairs, and from the greatest of advice regarding the religion of Allah.

Read the Qur’an from the beginning of the call of the messengers to their people. And to ‘Ad (people, We sent) their brother Hud… And to Thamud (people, We sent) their brother Saleh… And to Madyan (people, We sent) their brother Shu’ayb… They all said:

يا قوم اعبدوا الله ما لكم من إله غيره
O my people! Worship Allah, you have no other Ilah (God) but Him…

This is the explanation of لا إله إلا الله. So the meaning of لا إله إلا الله is clear in the Book and the Sunnah and clear in the proofs. However, when these incorrect explanations exist, loss occurs.

Protection Against Misguidance

Also, I will mention to you something important. The people with deviated beliefs… There is a saying that everyone gives from what they have. So when their intellects are absorbed with an incorrect Aqidah, then they come with a legislated statement, like this statement: لا إله إلا الله the greatest statement, when they explain it, it will be an explanation in light of the Aqidah that is absorbed their hearts. And this is a place where this shortcoming is hidden regarding this affair. So praise Allah for well-being. This well-being is from the greatest of bounties. And from well-being is being safe from this misguidance and this falsehood

The Takbir of the Tongue & Heart During the Ten Days of Dhil Hijjah
Shaykh Saleh Sindi حفظه الله
https://youtu.be/u1LD6Yvgab0 [17 min] – Arabic | English Subtitles

All the praises and thanks be to Allah, Who has not begotten a son, and Who has no partner in His Dominion, nor He is low to have a helper, protector or supporter. And magnify Him with all magnificence. May Allah send His peace and blessings upon the one whom His Lord sent as a guider, a bearer of glad tidings and a warner. And as one who invites to Allah by His Leave, and as a lamp spreading light. May His complete and abundant peace and blessings upon him, his family and his companions. Congratulations O noble brothers for the favor of Allah upon you, that He has extended your lifespan and your appointed term so that you could reach these blessed ten days. The first ten days of Dhil-Hijjah is a season of profit, a market of commerce and a field of competing towards goodness. So whomever Allah blesses to reach these ten days, then let him praise Allah abundantly and to ask Him to grant him success in these days by doing that which He loves. And that He favors him by accepting it.

These ten days, O noble brothers, every hour of it, rather every second of it, is of great significance. And it is sufficient regarding its virtue that Allah swore by these ten days, by saying: “By the dawn, By the ten nights (i.e. the first ten days of the month of Dhul-Hijjah).” [al-Fajr:1-2] The Prophet mentioned in many Ahadith that they are the most beloved days to Allah. And that the actions performed in them are purer and more beloved to Allah than these ten days. Therefore, they are the best days and nights of the year without exception. So congratulations to the one who has been given success and recognizes the significance of these hours and these moments which will soon come to an end. Just as our lives will soon come to an end. O successful one, be one who has sure knowledge, one who is smart, pure, intelligent, one who knows the significance of this lifespan and its importance for your true future. The righteous actions during these ten days comprise everything that Allah loves and has legislated for His slaves. During these ten days, every righteous actions that is based upon the Sunnah and is beloved to Allah, its reward before Allah is greater in these ten days than in other than these ten days. This is the distinguished characteristic of these ten days. Allah creates whatever He wills and He chooses. He specified these ten days with this virtue.

And from the greatest actions of these ten days is the remembrance of Allah. “…and mention the Name of Allah on appointed days over the beast of cattle that He has provided for them…” [al-Hajj:28] So these are the days of the remembrance of Allah. So increase in the remembrance of Allah. In the Musnad of Imam Ahmad in the Hadith of Ibn Umar, may Allah be pleased with him, who said that the Prophet said regarding these days by saying: There are no days when actions are performed in that is more beloved to Allah than these ten days. So increase in them the Tahlil (saying لا اله الا الله), the Takbir (saying الله اكبر) and the Tahmid (saying الحمد لله). As the Prophet said and al-Mundhiri said its chain is Jayyid. So the remembrance of Allah is the best matter one should occupy his moments with during these ten days. And from the remembrance of Allah is the Takbir, which is the symbol of these ten days. Since the time of the companions of the Prophet until now, the Muslims continue to frequently make the Takbir of Allah during these ten days. al-Bukhari mentions in his Sahih that Ibn Umar, Abu Hurayrah would go out to the marketplace and make Takbir and the people would make Takbir along with their Takbir. And in another narration: And there was nothing that made them come out to the marketplace except for this purpose. They didn’t have any objective of buying and selling. Rather it was only to remind the people of this virtue, which is the Takbir. Maymun ibn Mihran, the noble Tabi’i, said: I came across a people who would make the Takbir abundantly during these ten days as if their Takbirat were like waves due to their abundance. And this shows that from the Sunnah of the Salaf in these ten days would be to repeatedly make the Takbir with a loud voice. And these two Sunnahs for this act of worship are forgotten among the people during these times, with great sorrow. Repeating the Takbir abundantly along with raising the voice. And this is what the Salaf were upon, may Allah have mercy upon them.

The Takbir begins when the ten days begin until they are finished. And the best time is on the Day of Arafah and on the Day of Sacrifice (the Day of Eid). So the best Takbir is done on these two days and the days that follow from the Days of Tashriq as the narrations of the companions allude to. There is no specific form of Takbir that is narrated from the Prophet. Rather, there are narrations stated from the companions regarding the Takbir during the ten days unrestrictedly. And for the Day of Arafah, the Day of Sacrifice and the Days of Tashriq, there are specific forms of the Takbir that are stated from the companions. So the affair regarding this is flexible. If you wish, you may make the Takbir with the well-known Takbir that has been handed down from the Salaf until today, which is by saying: الله اكبر الله اكبر لا اله الا الله و الله اكبر الله اكبر ولله الحمد. This is the Takbir of Ibn Mas’ud. And it was narrated on Ali ibn Abi Talib and other than him. And this is what the Salaf would use. Ja’far al-Firyabi narrated by Yazid ibn Ziyad who said: I saw Sa’id ibn Jubayr, Abdurrahman ibn Abi Layla, Mujahid, or he said two of these three, he wasn’t sure, and the scholars of Fiqh, making Takbir in these ten days saying: الله اكبر الله اكبر لا اله الا الله و الله اكبر الله اكبر ولله الحمد. And this form combines what the Hadith encourages with, which is the Takbir, Tahmid and Tahlil. So increase in the Tahlil (saying لا اله الا الله), the Takbir (saying الله اكبر) and the Tahmid (saying الحمد لله). If you wish, you may make the Takbir in another form. Like the Takbir of Salman: الله اكبر الله اكبر الله اكبر كبيرا. If you wish, you may make the Takbir of Ibn Abbas: الله اكبر كبيرا الله اكبر كبيرا الله اكبر واجل الله اكبر ولله الحمد. If you wish you may make the Takbir in another form. Or if you wish you may just repeat: الله اكبر. So the variations of these narrations show that there is flexibility in the matter. And all praise is due to Allah. What is intended, O brothers, it is good for you and it is befitting for you to increase making the Takbir during these ten days.

And what is better than that is if you comprehend its meaning and then establish this meaning in your heart. الله اكبر. Take heed how you repeat this statement over and over again. So what is the meaning of: الله اكبر? The people of knowledge, like Ibn Atiyyah and al-Qurtubi and other than them from the people of Tafsir say: The most profound statement that the Arabs can say expressing glorification and magnification is the statement of Takbir: الله اكبر. And this is what Allah commanded with when He said: “And magnify Him with all the magnificence.” al-Isra:111. Allah is greater (than everything) regarding His Essence. Allah is greater than everything regarding His Attributes. So His Hearing is greater than every hearing. And His Seeing is greater than every seeing. His Honor, Mercy, Love and Power are greater than these attributes that are from other than Him. So He is greater (than everything) regarding His Attributes. And He is greater (than everything) regarding His Power. And He is greater (than everything) regarding His Praise. So there is none from His slaves that can praise Him as He should be praised, even the most knowledgeable of the creation of Him, our Prophet Muhammad. Verily, he said: I am not able of praising You as you should be praised, You are as You have praised Yourself. Allah is greater (than everything) regarding His Mercy. Allah is greater (than everything) regarding His Mention. Allah is greater (than everything) regarding His Anger. Allah is greater (than everything) regarding His Retribution. Allah is greater (than everything) regarding His Punishment. Allah is greater (than everything) regarding everything. And this unrestriction denotes generality. Therefore, O brothers, this is the meaning of the Takbir.

Know that if making the Takbir with the tongue is something that is good and it is a Sunnah, then making Takbir with the heart is something that is greater and more obligatory. The Takbir with the tongue, in other than the prayer, is Sunnah. However, the Takbir with the heart, is a Takbir that is obligatory. The Takbir of the tongue is required at times but the Takbir of the heart is obligatory at all times. And this repetition of the Takbir: الله اكبر الله اكبر الله اكبر invites you to establish this meaning in your heart so that the Aqidah is firmly grounded. It affects the heart and in turn it will affect the limbs. If the Muslim were to recognize this reality, and was certain of it, and were to act upon it inwardly and outwardly with what it necessitates, by Allah, he would live a life unlike anyone else. He would be living another life. Whoever magnifies Allah with his heart, it will become magnified until everything other than Allah will disappear from his heart. He will not give any act of worship to other than Him, neither hope nor fear, neither love nor supplication, or sacrifice, nothing from it whatsoever. Therefore why does the heart turn to other than Allah? And why would the limbs be provoked by other than Him? Therefore, the polytheists didn’t magnify Allah in their hearts. “They made not a just estimate of Allah such as is due to Him…” al-Zumar:67. Yes, by Allah! The one who supplicates to other than Allah. The one who says O Messenger of Allah, grant me relief. The one who says: The most generous of mankind, I do not have anyone to take shelter in except you at occurrence at the time of widespread calamity. By Allah, they didn’t magnify Allah in their hearts. Whoever magnifies Allah in his heart, everything other than Allah will disappear from his heart. And to him, everything above the dirt is dirt. This is because he believes that Allah is greater.

Whoever magnifies Allah in his heart, his limbs will be provoked to the obedience of Allah. He will magnify His commands and prohibitions. If he is called to carry out the command of Allah, if he is called to the prayer, he will be reminded with: الله اكبر. He will have fear and get up. This is because Allah is greater. He is greater than your worldly life, your desires, your business, your family, your children, your studies, He is greater than everything in this life. Therefore, His command is greater. It necessitates that you magnify His prohibitions. So you avoid what Allah prohibits because you know that His prohibitions are tremendous. And that His punishment that results from that is tremendous. Whoever magnifies him in his heart, that which is beloved to him diminishes in his heart. So he reaches a state where he doesn’t love except Allah, or that which Allah loves, or that which He permits. Whoever magnifies Allah in his heart, his reliance, dependence and his entrustment upon his Lord will prove to be true. He will not give attention to anyone other than Him. And he wouldn’t care about anyone other than Him. Therefore, you find that the worries and problems of the worldly life becomes insignificant in the heart because He is depending upon the One Who is greater than everything. Whoever magnifies Allah in his heart, he will live a life, as I mentioned, that is other than this life. He will be living with Allah and living for Allah. The religion, from its beginning until its end, the establishment of Tawhid, is all gathered in this statement: الله اكبر. But it is not truthful if one utters it with his tongue, but its meaning doesn’t penetrate his heart so that his heart is firmly grounded in it. Therefore, O slave of Allah, make for yourself a goal in this life, and strive against your soul, to make Allah in your heart greater than everything. Strive against your soul, to magnify Allah with your heart, just as you magnify Him with your tongue. I ask Allah to make us from those that are granted success in reaching this tremendous, lofty and noble objective. Just as I ask Him to fill our hearts with His love and to grant us success in His obedience. May Allah send His Peace and Blessings upon His slave and messenger, our Prophet Muhammad, his family, his companions, and those that follow them in good.

Shaytan will Flee From You – by Shaykh Ṣāleḥ ibn S’ad al Suḥaymī [Video|Ar-En Subtitles]

Shaytan Will Flee From You – by Shaykh Ṣāleḥ ibn S’ad al Suḥaymī [Video|Ar-En Subtitles]
https://youtu.be/blNMZ75jSuA [5 min]

You find that the Muwahid, for example, if he’s informed about a matter, he flees to Allāh. He remembers Allāh. He says Lā ilāha illa Allāh, Allāhu Akbar, SubhānAllāh. He praises Allāh. He says Lā ilāha illa Allāh. Every vessel is wet with what is in it. Nowadays, you’ll find those that are engrossed in films and music, deceit, little shyness, and disobedience, to the extent that when their soul is exiting the body, it may be that they don’t have a good ending. Rather they only regurgitate the names of the singers and singers and the likes of this! Isn’t that the case?

Meanwhile, the Muslim the one upright on the Religion of Allāh “Be firm, as you are commanded.” (42:15) [فَاسْتَقِمْ كَمَا أُمِرْتَ]. You find them always devoted to the remembrance of Allāh even when he is at the time of his death, even while he is sick, while he is walking. And this is an effect (of Tawhīd) that I might’ve left out. A very important effect, and that is the one who establishes Tawhīd, Shayṭān always relinquishes from him. Because he is devoted to the remembrance of Allāh and Shayṭān flees when he hears the remembrance of Allāh. Didn’t you know that when he hears the Adhān he flees while he breaks wind?

Listen to the hadīth of the Prophet (ﷺ), “Whoever says, ‘None has the right to be worshipped but Allāh, the Alone Who has no partners, to Him belongs Dominion and to Him belong all the Praises, and He has power over all things.’ a hundred times, [مَنْ قَالَ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللَّهُ وَحْدَهُ لَا شَرِيكَ لَهُ ، لَهُ الْمُلْكُ وَلَهُ الْحَمْدُ وَهُوَ عَلَى كُلِّ شَيْءٍ قَدِيرٌ] How much does Allāh (ﷻ) give him? Five things. One: it is as if he had freed ten slaves. SubhānAllāh! Do you know how long it’ll take you to mention this remembrance? Who can count in a day, slowly or quickly? Seven minutes if you were to mention it quickly, however ten to eleven minutes if you were to mention it slowly while on your way to work in the morning. Don’t belittle any good deed! Remember your Lord! When you ride your car, begin, however way you get to work. ‘None has the right to be worshipped but Allāh, the Alone Who has no partners, to Him belongs Dominion and to Him belong all the Praises, and He has power over all things.’ [لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللَّهُ وَحْدَهُ لَا شَرِيكَ لَهُ ، لَهُ الْمُلْكُ وَلَهُ الْحَمْدُ وَهُوَ عَلَى كُلِّ شَيْءٍ قَدِيرٌ] In seven or ten minutes at most you’ll find yourself completing this remembrance.

So how many things do you get? This is from the effects of Tawhīd. Five. One: It is as if you had freed ten slaves. Two: A hundred good deeds are written for you. SubhānAllāh, O Allāh give us from Your bounties! Three: A hundred sins are erased from you. Four: Shayṭān relinquishes from you for that day and he won’t approach you. Five: No one comes with anything similar to what you came with except someone who does similar to what you did. Don’t belittle any righteous action O brothers! Pay attention! Always keep your tongue moist with the remembrance of Allāh!

Also look at another blessed sign of Tawhīd. If you leave from your home and you say a statement, one sentence. It won’t take you longer than ten seconds, ten seconds only. In the name of Allāh, I put my trust in Allāh; there is neither might nor strength, except by Allāh. [بِسْمِ اللَّهِ تَوَكَّلْتُ عَلَى اللَّهِ وَلَا حَوْلَ وَلَا قُوَّةَ إِلَّا بِاللَّهِ] Allāhu Akbar! Ten seconds exactly or less! What results from this? How many things? Four. What is said to you? One: You have been sufficed. Who is the One who suffices you? Allāh! Then: You have been guided. Who is the One who guided you? Allāh! Then: You have been protected. Who is the One who protected you? Allāh! Then: Shayṭān relinquishes from him. Four matters, a statement that won’t take you longer than ten seconds! Brothers, you’ll find that we are negligent. By Allāh! We are negligent with these matters! A lot of us think so much about the Dunyā and the entire day passes and he doesn’t remember Allāh, worried, grieved even the senior businessmen. Praise Allāh (ﷻ)!

Advice To Those Who Rush Their Adhkār – By Shaykh Al Albānī [Video|Ar-En Subtitles]

Advice To Those Who Rush Their Adhkār
By Shaykh Muḥammad Nāṣiruddin al Albānī رحمه الله
https://youtu.be/gUvqx7zOpDA
[6 min] [Arabic | English Subtitles]

I notice that there are many people, those that appear to be committed, not only to the Farā’iḍ (obligatory actions), rather they are also committed to the Nawāfil (supererogatory actions) and matters that are Mustaḥab (recommended actions). For example, the dhikr (remembrance) after the Ṣalāh, the Tasbīḥ (SubḥānAllāh), the Taḥmīd (Alḥamdulillāh), the Takbīr (Allāhuakbar) and the likes of these. So I notice that some of them when they want to act upon the saying of the Prophet (ﷺ),

“من سبح الله دبر كل صلاة ثلاثا وثلاثين وحمد الله ثلاثا وثلاثين وكبر الله ثلاثا وثلاثين ثم قال تمام المائة لا إله إلا الله وحده لا شريك له، له الملك وله الحمد وهو على كل شيء قدير غفرت له ذنوبه وإن كانت مثل زبد البحر”

(“Whoever says at the end of each Ṣalāh ‘SubḥānAllāh’ 33x, and says ‘Alḥamdulillāh’ 33x, and says ‘Allāhu-akbar’ 33x, and then completes a hundred by saying ‘None has the right to be worshipped except Allāh, alone, having no partner. Sovereignty is His and all praise is for Him, and He has full power over everything.’ His sins will be forgiven even if they are like the foam in the sea.“)

This Hadīth is authentic, narrated by Imām Muslim in his Ṣaḥīḥ.

When they want to act upon this hadīth, you see some of them, they barely articulate with their tongue ‘SubḥānAllāh’, ‘Alḥamdulillāh’, and ‘Allāhu-akbar’. So what do you hear?… I believe I’ve seen as you’ve seen. I’m not alone in this claim. What do we call this?… Then… This is neither Taṣbīḥ (SubḥānAllāh), nor Taḥmīd (Alḥamdulillāh)… completing a hundred in a few moments or in a few seconds. This hundred, whoever comes with it, what is its reward? Allāh will forgive his sins even if they are like the foam in the sea. If he came with this kind of way (making the adhkār quickly), Allāh forbid! What is obligatory is to take ones time in doing it. So he says ‘SubḥānAllāh’, ‘SubḥānAllāh’, ‘SubḥānAllāh’, ‘Alḥamdulillāh’, ‘Alḥamdulillāh’ until the end of it.

From my next statement, I don’t want to turn the people away from doing the Taṣbīḥ 33x and what comes in the rest of the hadīth. I only want to bring them closer to what is better for them legislatively and what is easier for them to do. And I believe you all will hear this hadīth for the first time or at the least some of you and it’s a very important hadīth. It is also an authentic hadīth from Imām al-Nasā’ī and Ḥākim and other than them, from the companions with two authentic chains of narration.

“أن رجلا من أصحاب النبي صلى الله عليه وآله وسلم رأى في المنام شخصا يسأله ما الذي علمكم الرسول عليه السلام قال علمنا سبحان الله وذكر هذا العدد الذي سبق بيانه في الحديث السابق فقال ذلك الشخص للرائي في المنام قال اجعلوهن خمسا وعشرين اجعلوهن خمسا وعشرين”

(“A man from the companions of the Prophet (ﷺ) saw in a dream a person asking him, ‘What has the Messenger (ﷺ) taught you?’ He said, ‘He taught us SubḥānAllāh’. And he mentioned the amount that was in the previous hadīth. So the person in the dream said, ‘Make them 25.’ Meaning say: SubḥānAllāh, Alḥamdulillāh, Lā ilāha illa Allāh, and Allāhu-akbar.“)

So change what the people counted up to a hundred to twenty-five. Twenty-five in a deliberate manner not in a hurried manner the kind we strongly disapprove. So he is not hasty in saying SubḥānAllāh and Alḥamdulillāh. He is not hasty, and you don’t see from him reciting it except that it is more complete than if he was to say SubḥānAllāh, SubḥānAllāh, SubḥānAllāh… Lā ilāha illa Allāh, Lā ilāha illa Allāh… and later on the only thing you will hear from them is Allāh, Allāh, Allāh…

This is a safeguard for those hasty ones after the Ṣalāh in regards to the Tasbīḥ and Taḥmīd that is mentioned in the first hadīth, upon them is to combine between the four (SubḥānAllāh, Alḥamdulillāh, Lā ilāha illa Allāh, and Allāhu-akbar.) and say it 25x. SubḥānAllāh, Alḥamdulillāh, Lā ilāha illa Allāh, Allāhu-akbar, 25x. And this is better, using as proof the complete hadīth that the person saw in his dream. It may be the dream was a mixed up false dream and not a tafsīr because we are not skilled in interpreting dreams.

“لكن هذا الرجل الرائي للرؤيا قصها على النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم فكان جوابه فافعلوا إذن”
(“However, this man who saw the dream narrated it to the Prophet (ﷺ) and his answer was, ‘Therefore, do it.’“)

Here we have a question of Fiqh. Does this abrogate the first hadīth? Taṣbīḥ (subḥān Allāh) 33x, the Taḥmīd (alḥamdulillāh) 33x, the Takbīr (Allāhuakbar) 33x and the Tahlīl (Lā ilāha illa Allāh) 1x. No! It doesn’t abrogate it. It is only a preference. If a person praying comes with the adhkār 33x after his Ṣalāh with deliberateness, then there is no problem with that. However, what is better is to combine the four (SubḥānAllāh, Alḥamdulillāh, Lā ilāha illa Allāh, and Allāhu-akbar) 25x. This is better for him then acting upon the previous hadīth.

182. And this is the explanation of ‘Laa hawla wa laa quwwata illaa billaah’ (There is no change and no power except with Allaah’s aid). We say: there is no manoeuvring for anyone, and no movement for anyone, and no moving away from disobedience to Allaah – except with the aid of Allaah; and there is no power for anyone to establish obedience to Allaah, and to remain firm upon it,except by Allaah’s tawfeeq (His granting successful attainment of that).

The wisdom behind saying, “Laa Hawla Wa-Laa Quwwata illa Billah” when the Mu’adhin says, “Hayya `Ala Al-Salah” and “Hayya `Ala Al-Falah” – Imam Ibn Baz

AbdurRahman.org's avatar by

From `Abdul-`Aziz ibn `Abdullah ibn Baz to the honorable brother H. M. Th., may Allah grant him safety! May Allah’s Peace, Mercy, and Blessings be upon you. In respect of your request for Fatwa registered in the Department of the Scholarly Research and Ifta’ (no. 1513), dated (21/4/1407 A.H.), it contains three questions. Here are the answers:

 Q3: What is the wisdom behind saying,  لا حَوْلَ وَلا قُوَّةَ إِلا بِالله “La Hawla Wala Quwwata Illla Billah”  (There is no might nor power except with Allah) when the Mu`adh-dhin says,  حي على الصلاة “Hayya `Ala Al-Salah (Come to Salah)” and  حي على الفلاح “Hayya `Ala Al-Falah (Come to Success)” taking into consideration that they imply a call to Salah? Is there a Hadith that refers to that?

A: The wisdom behind that saying is that man is weak by nature. He has no ability to move from a condition to another except with the help of Allah. Even his going to Salah in congregation needs the help and power of Allah. A servant of Allah has no might or power except with Allah. He realizes that he is weak, powerless, and unable to answer this call unless Allah helps him Alone. Therefore, upon hearing that call, he says: “La Hawla Wala Quwwata Illa Billah”.

This is authentically reported from `Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) as related by Muslim in his Sahih. May Allah grant us all success! May Allah’s Peace, Mercy, and Blessings be upon you!

Issued by the office of His Eminence and was read to His Eminence again on 4/4/1415 A.H.

Benefit: Righteous Deeds ascend to Allah – Tafseer Ibn Kathir

AbdurRahman.org's avatar by

Tafseer Ibn Kathir : Surah Faatir 35:11
(darussalam english publication)

Righteous Deeds ascend to Allah

(To Him ascend the good words,) means, words of remembrance, recitation of Qur’an, and supplications. This was the view of more than one of the Salaf.

Ibn Jarir recorded that Al-Mukhariq bin Sulaym said that “`Abdullah bin Mas`ud, may Allah be pleased with him, said to them, “If we tell you a Hadith, we will bring you proof of it from the Book of Allah.

When the Muslim servants says, `Glory and praise be to Allah, there is no god worthy of worship except Allah, Allah is Most Great and blessed be Allah,’ an angel takes these words and puts them under his wing, then he ascends with them to the heaven. He does not take them past any group of angels but they seek forgiveness for the one who said them, until he brings them before Allah, may He be glorified.”

Then `Abdullah, may Allah be pleased with him, recited:

(To Him ascend the good words, and the righteous deeds exalt it).”

Imam Ahmad recorded that An-Nu`man bin Bashir, may Allah be pleased with him, said, “The Messenger of Allah said:

(Those who remember Allah and glory Allah by saying, `Glory be to Allah, Allah is most Great, all praise is due to Allah and La ilaha illallah, these words go around the Throne buzzing like bees, mentioning those who said them. Would one of you not like to have something with Allah mentioning him)”

This was also recorded by Ibn Majah.

(and the righteous deeds exalt it). Ali bin Abi Talhah reported that Ibn Abbas, may Allah be pleased with him, said,

The good word is the remembrance of Allah, may He be exalted, which is taken up to Allah, and the righteous deed is the performance of obligatory duties. Whoever remembers Allah when doing an obligatory duty, his deed carries his remembrance of Allah and takes it up to Allah, may He be exalted. Whoever remembers Allah and does not perform the obligatory duties, his words will be rejected, as will his deed.

Prohibition of Swaying during the Salat or while reciting the Qur’an or while making dhikr – alifta

AbdurRahman.org's avatar by

Bismillaah

Q: What is the ruling on some people who sway from right to left and backwards and forwards while reciting the Qur’an? Please advise, may Allah reward you.

A: Swaying while reciting the Qur’an is one of the habits that should be abandoned. It contradicts the etiquettes required when reciting the Qur’an. When reciting or listening to the Qur’an, a person should listen carefully and not play with things so that the listener and the reciter ponder over the meanings of the Qur’an and their hearts be submissive to Allah (Glorified and Exalted be He).

Scholars mentioned that this is one of the habits of the Jews when reciting their Book, and we are forbidden to imitate them.

May Allah grant us success. May peace and blessings be upon our Prophet Muhammad, his family, and Companions.

This is for Allaah, What is for Me? – Translated by Abbas Abu Yahya

AbdurRahman.org's avatar by

From Anas – RadhiAllaahu anhu – who said: ‘A Bedouin came to the Prophet – sallAllaahu alayhi wa sallam – and said: ‘O Messenger of Allaah!  Teach me some goodness.’

So the Prophet  – sallAllaahu alayhi wa sallam – took him by the hand and said:

” قل: سبحان الله، والحمد لله، ولا إله إلا الله، والله أكبر.

‘Say: ‘Far is Allaah from imperfection, and all praise be to Allaah, and there is none worthy of worship in truth except Allaah, and Allaah is the Greatest.’

(Subhana Allaahi, wal hamdu lillaahi, wa la illaah ila Allaah, wa Allaahu Akbar.)’

The Bedouin counted them on his hand, when he finished he began to reflect then came back to the Prophet.

The Prophet – sallAllaahu alayhi wa sallam – smiled and said:

 ‘The desperate one has reflected.’

Then the Bedouin came and said:

‘O Messenger of Allaah! ‘Far is Allaah from imperfection, and all praise be to Allaah, and there is none worthy of worship in truth except Allaah, and Allaah is the Greatest.’  This is for Allaah, what is for me?’

The Prophet – sallAllaahu alayhi wa sallam – said:

اللهم اغفر لي وارحمني وعافني وارزقني واهدني

‘Say: O Allaah forgive me, and have mercy on me, and pardon me, and provide for me, and guide me.’

The Prophet – sallAllaahu alayhi wa sallam – said to him:

‘O Bedouin! If you say: ‘SubhanAllah’, Allaah says: ‘you have spoken the truth,

If you say: ‘Alhamdulillah’, Allaah says: ‘ you have spoken the truth,

If you say: ‘La ilaha ‘illa Allaah’, Allaah says: ‘you have spoken the truth,

If you say: Allaahu Akbar, Allaah says: ‘you have spoken the truth,

If you say: O Allaah forgive me, Allaah says: I have done so,

If you say: O Allaah have mercy on me, Allaah says: I have done so,

If you say: O Allaah give me provision, Allaah says: I have done so,

Then the Bedouin  counted it seven times on his fingers,  then went away.’

Shaykh al-Muhaddith al-Albaani -Rahimullaah – said :

Collected by al-Bayhaqi in ‘Shuab al-Eemaan’, and this Isnaad is Jayyid (good) its narrators are trustworthy as for al-Hasan bin Tawab; then I had become exhausted searching about him until I found who he was. So I performed a Sajdah to Allaah thankful for His success and I ask Him for an increase in His excellence.’

Menses and Dhikr of Allaah & Recitation of the Qur’an – Shaykh Ibn Uthaymeen

AbdurRahman.org's avatar by

Case: During Menses, it is not unlawful to celebrate Allah’s Praises (Saying Takbeer, Tasbeeh, and Tahmeed),[29] saying Bismillah before acting upon something (eating, drinking, etc..), reading Hadeeth, Islamic discussions, invocation upon Allah (Dua’), and listening to the recitation of Qur’an.

It has been confirmed by ‘Aisha (radhi Allaahu anha) that the Prophet (صلى الله عليه و سلم) used to: “lean on my lap and recite Qur’an while I was in menses” (Al-Bukhari and Muslim).[30]

Also Umm ‘Atiyya reported that she heard the Prophet (صلى الله عليه و سلم) saying: “The Unmarried young virgins and the mature girl who stay often screened or the young unmarried virgins who often stayscreened and the menstruating women should come out and participate in the good deeds as well as the religious gathering of the faithful believers but the menstruating women should keep away from the Musalla (praying place).” [31]

Case: The reciting of the Qur’an by a menstruating woman either via direct looking or silently (in her heart) without the actual uttering by the tongue is permissible.

The majority of the scholars are with the opinion that it is not prohibited for her to utter the Qur’anic recitation. Imam Bukhari, Ibn Jareer At- Tabaree and Ibn Al-Munthir, Imam Malik, and Imam Ash-Shaafi’ee (in one of his earlier sayings) are with the opinion that it is permissible for her to recite the Ayah (verse in the Qur’an).

Shayekul Islam Ibn Taymeeyah said: “Basically, there is no Sunnah to prevent her from reciting Qur’an. The “hadeeth” that: “A menstruating woman and the one who is in state of Jannabah [32] should not recite anything of the Qur’an”, is a weak hadeeth as agreed upon by the knowledgeable scholars of Hadeeth.

In fact women at the time of the Prophet (صلى الله عليه و سلم) used to have their monthly cycles of menses.Had the recitation of Qur’an been prohibited for them (as it is the case with Salat) then the Prophet (صلى الله عليه و سلم) would have made it clear to his Ummah (Islamic community) and his wives would have known about it and they would have dissipated this knowledge to the people. Because no one had related a prohibition by the Prophet (صلى الله عليه و سلم) about this issue, then it cannot be made unlawful especially when it is known that he (صلى الله عليه و سلم) did not prohibit it at the time when menses was very much present.

Accordingly, recitation by the tongue is not Haram (legally unlawful).[33] This author said: “having known the dispute between the scholars about this matter, then it is more proper for the menstruating woman not to recite Qur’an by the tongue except when it is necessary e.g. if she is a teacher or if she is preparing for an exam.”

Footnotes:

[29] Takbeer: saying Allahu Akbar (Allah is The Greatest); Tasbeeh: saying Subhana Allah (Most Glorified is Allah); Tahmeed: saying Al Hamdulil’lah: All Praise is due to Allah.

Authentic Adhkaar (Remembrance) after the Obligatory Salaah (Prayer) – Dawud Burbank

Dhikr #1

Dhikr After Obligatory Prayer - Dawud Burbank - 01

(1) MUSLIM reported (no. 591): “Daawood ibn Rushayd narrated to us: alWaleed narrated to us : from al-Awzaa`ee: from Aboo Ammaar-his name is Shaddaad ibn `Abdillaah: from Aboo Asmaa. : from Thawbaan who said: “When Allaah’s Messenger (صلى الله عليه و سلم) finished his Prayer he would seek forgiveness three times, and say:

اللّهُـمَّ أَنْـتَ السَّلامُ ، وَمِـنْكَ السَّلام ، تَبارَكْتَ يا ذا الجَـلالِ وَالإِكْـرام

[O Allaah You are the Flawless One, and from You comes peace and security.
Blessed are You, Possessor of Majesty and Honour].”

al-Waleed said: So I said to al-Awzaa`ee: ‘How is seeking forgiveness done?’

He said: “You say : “… أَسْـتَغْفِرُ الله  أَسْـتَغْفِرُ الله ”

(I seek Allaah’s forgiveness, I seek Allaah’s forgiveness….)”.

-The wording of the four ‘Sunan’ in a hadeeth of `Aa.ishah- radiyallaahu `anhaa-(declared authentic by Shaikh al-Albaanee) is:

اللّهُـمَّ أَنْـتَ السَّلامُ ، وَمِـنْكَ السَّلام ، تَبارَكْتَ يا ذا الجَـلالِ وَالإِكْـرام

[O Allaah You are the Flawless One, and from You comes peace and security.

La ilaha illal-lahu wahdahu la shareeka lah, lahul-mulku walahul-hamd, wahuwa ‘ala kulli shayin qadeer, allahumma la mani’a lima a’tayt, wa la mu’tiya lima mana’t, wala yanfa’u thal-jaddi minkal-jad

None has the right to be worshipped except Allaah, alone, having no partner. Sovereignty is His and all praise is for Him, and He has full power over everything. O Allaah no one can hold back what You give, and no one can give what You hold back, and no one’s riches can benefit them against You.”

(3) MUSLIM reported (no.594): “And Muhammad ibn `Abdillaah ibn Numayr narrated to us: My father narrated to us: Hishaam narrated to us: from AbuzZubayr who said: “Ibn az-Zubayr used to say at the end of every Prayer when he had given the Salutation:

La ilaha illal-lah, wahdahu la shareeka lah, lahul-mulku walahul-hamd, wahuwa ‘ala kulli shayin qadeer. la hawla wala quwwata illa billah, la ilaha illal-lah, wala na’budu illa iyyah, lahun-niAAmatu walahul-fadl walahuth-thana-ol- hasan, la ilaha illal-lah mukhliseena lahud-deen walaw karihal-kafiroon.

[None has the right to be worshipped except Allaah, alone, having no partner. Sovereignty is His and all praise is for Him, and He has full power over everything. There is no change and no ability except with (the Aid of) Allaah. None has the right to be worshipped except Allaah, and we do not worship except Him. All blessings are from Him and all favour is from Him, and fine praise is for Him. None has the right to be worshipped except Allaah, we make the Religion purely and sincerely for Him-even though the Disbelievers detest that],

and he said: “Allaah’s Messenger (صلى الله عليه و سلم) used to repeat these words after every Prayer.”

<>
So he said: << I counsel you, O Mu`aadh: Do not leave off saying at the end of every Prayer:

اللّهُـمَّ أَعِـنِّي عَلـى ذِكْـرِكَ وَشُكْـرِك ، وَحُسْـنِ عِبـادَتِـك

[O Allaah help me upon remembrance of You, giving thanks to You, and worshipping You in a fine manner].>>

Aboo Nu`aym-rahimahullaah said: “And I counsel you (all) with it.” I say: This hadeeth is from the famous hadeeth reported with a serial chain, mentioning love, and I was given ijaazah to narrate it by the virtuous Shaikh Raaghib at-Tabbaakhrahimahullaah, and he narrated it to me… and he reported its isnaad in this manner mentioning love at each stage of the chain.]
