Humble Yourselves Before Allaah And Call Him With Hope And Fear – Dr Saleh As Saleh [Audio Clip]

AbdurRahman.org's avatar by

Be in a state of humbleness/Calmness in Hope & fear While making Du’a

“Verily, they used to hasten on to do good deeds, and they used to call on Us with hope and fear, and used to humble themselves before Us”

[Aurah Al-Anbiyah 21:90, Muhsin Khan Translation]

The following is taken from Tafsir Ibn Kathir, Dar-us-salam Publication

﴿وَيَدْعُونَنَا رَغَباً وَرَهَباً﴾

(and they used to call on Us with hope and fear,)

Ath-Thawri said, “Hoping for that (reward) which is with Us and fearing that (punishment) which is with Us.”

﴿وَكَانُواْ لَنَا خـشِعِينَ﴾

(and they were Khashi`in before Us.)

Ali bin Abi Talhah reported from Ibn `Abbas that this means, sincerely believing in that which was revealed by Allah.

Mujahid said: “Truly believing.”

Abu Al-`Aliyah said: “Fearing.”

Abu Sinan said: “Khushu` means the fear which should never leave our hearts.”

It was also reported from Mujahid that the Khashi`in are those who are humble.”

Al-Hasan, Qatadah and Ad-Dahhak said, “The Khashi`in are those who humble themselves before Allah.”

All of these suggestions are close in meaning.

Du’aa & Our Own Good Deeds – The Story of three men Blocked in a Cave – Dr. Saleh as Saleh [Audio|En]

AbdurRahman.org's avatar by

‘Abdullah bin ‘Umar bin Al-Khattab (May Allah be pleased with them) narrated that:He heard Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) as saying:

“Three men, amongst those who came before you, set out until night came and they reached a cave, so they entered it. A rock fell down from the mountain and blocked the entrance of the cave. They said: ‘Nothing will save you from this unless you supplicate to Allah by virtue of a righteous deed you have done.’

Thereupon, one of them said: ‘O Allah! I had parents who were old, and I used to offer them milk before any of my children or slaves. One day, I went far away in search of grazing and could not come back until they had slept. When I milked as usual and brought the drink I found them both asleep. I hated to disturb them and also disliked to give milk to my children before them. My children were crying out of hunger at my feet but I awaited with the bowl in my hand for them to wake up. When they awoke at dawn, they drank milk. O Allah! If I did so to seek Your Pleasure, then deliver us from the distress caused by the rock’. The rock moved slightly but they were unable to escape.

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.

Having Sincerity for Allaah During Supplication – Shaykh AbdurRazzaq bin Abdul-Muhsin

Lessons of Creed Acquired From The Hajj – By ‘AbdurRazzaq bin ‘Abdul-Muhsin al-Badr, Translated By Abbas Abu Yahya

Chapter 12

Having Sincerity for Allaah During Supplication

Indeed from the great acts of worship the Muslims increase upon and show great concern for during the Hajj is Dua’, which is the most important form and best type of worship. The Prophet -sallAllaahu alayhi wa sallam- described in the authentic hadeeth that Dua’ in itself is worship due to its great status and lofty nature. This is why there are many texts from the Qur’aan and Sunnah showing the great importance and high status of Dua’.

The texts comprise praise for making Dua’, encouragement to make Dua’ and inspire different ways to make Dua’, sometimes with a command to make Dua’, sometimes explaining its position and status, sometimes praising the people who make Dua’ and sometimes mentioning the great and different types of reward for those who make Dua’ and warning against those who neglect to make Dua’ or refuse to do so out of haughtiness or arrogance.

Benefit: Person requesting someone to supplicate Allaah for him – Shaykh Ibn Uthaymeen

AbdurRahman.org's avatar by

From the kind of permissible Tawassul: that a person asks someone to supplicate to Allaah, The Most High, for him, if it is hoped for that this person’s supplication will be answered.

However, it should be that the person requesting someone to supplicate Allaah for him intends to benefit himself and his brother, the one from whom he asked the supplication, so that the request is not solely for his own interest. Since if you want to benefit your friend as well as yourself, then this will end up as something good for him.

This is because when a man supplicates to Allaah for his brother in his absence, the angel says: “Aameen, and for you the same.” Similarly when someone supplicates Allaah for his brother, then he is from those who do good by virtue of this supplication, and Allaah loves those who do good.”

The Incorrect and Futile Tawassul (Means of nearness to Allaah) and its Types – Shaykh ibn Uthaymeen

AbdurRahman.org's avatar by

Bismillah ir-Rahman ir-Rahim (بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم)

The Incorrect and Futile Tawassul and its Types

Question 58: Having known the Correct Tawassul and its Types, then it is inevitable for us to know the Incorrect Tawassul and its Types.

The Answer: The incorrect and futile Tawassul is to use an unprescribed way, something which is not affirmed as a legal way by Sharee’ah, as a means of nearness to Allaah, The Most High. Since Tawassul in this manner is from nonsense and falsehood that contradicts the intellectual and textual proofs.

And from this is that a person uses the supplication of a deceased man as Tawassul to Allaah (عز و جل). He asks this deceased person to supplicate to Allaah for him. Then this is not a correct and prescribed means. Rather it is foolishness on the part of the one who asks this deceased man to supplicate to Allaah for him. Since once he dies, the actions of the deceased cease to exist, and it is impossible for him to supplicate to Allaah for anyone. Even the Prophet (صلى الله عليه و سلم), it is not possible that he supplicates to Allaah for anyone after his (صلى الله عليه و سلم) death. For this reason, the companions (Radi Allahu Anhum) did not use as Tawassul to Allaah by asking the Prophet (صلى الله عليه و سلم) to invoke Allaah for them after his death.

This summary outlines the fourteen key etiquettes of making Du’a (supplication) as detailed in the sermon. The etiquettes begin with praising Allah and sending blessings upon the Prophet before supplicating, followed by the importance of admitting one’s sins, as exemplified by the prayer of Prophet Yunus and the “Sayyid al-Istighfar.” The sermon emphasizes supplicating with humility, hope, and fear, and with firm determination, avoiding phrases like “if You wish.” Other crucial manners include being persistent in Du’a, making supplication in all states (both ease and hardship), and refraining from praying against oneself, family, or wealth. The physical aspects of Du’a are also covered, such as repeating the supplication three times, facing the Qibla, raising one’s hands, performing ablution (Wudu), and using a Siwak. Finally, the sermon highlights the significance of preceding one’s Du’a with a righteous deed and having a noble intention or objective behind the supplication.
