Making Up The Missed ‘Eid Prayer – Shaykh ‘AbdulQaadir al-Junayd

AbdurRahman.org's avatar by

Is it permissible for the one who misses the ‘Eid prayer to make it up? And if so how is it to be made up?

The Permanent Committee for Scientific Research and Fatwa of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia headed by Ibn Baaz as stated in ‘Al-Fataawa’, vol. 8, pg. 306-307, nos. 2328 and 4517:

“The individual who misses the ‘Eid prayer and wants to make it up, then it is recommended for him to do so and he is to pray it according to its normal manner without being followed by a khutbah and this is what was stated by Maalik, ash-Shaafi’ee, Ahmad, an-Nakha’ee and other scholars.

The foundation for this is the statement of the Prophet صلّى اﻟﻠﻪَُّ عليه وسلّم :

‘If you come to the prayer, then approach it with tranquility and composure. Whatever you have caught from the prayer, then pray it and what has preceded you, then complete it.’

Also, what was narrated about Anas رضي اﻟﻠﻪّ عنه that:

‘If he missed the ‘Eid prayer with the Imaam, he would gather his family and servants, then ‘Abdullah Ibn Abi ‘Utbah, his servant, would lead them in prayer of two rak’ahs which he would make the takbeer in.’

And regarding the individual who arrives at the ‘Eid prayer while the Imaam is giving the khutbah, he is to listen to the khutbah then make up the prayer after. This is so that he gets the benefit of both (listening to the khutbah and making up the prayer as opposed to making up the prayer first and missing the khutbah).”

The Permanent Committee also stated:

“Whoever reaches the prayer and catches only the tashahhud with the Imaam of the two ‘Eid prayers, then he is to pray two rak’ahs after the Imaam gives the salaam and he does exactly what the Imaam does regarding the takbeer, recitation, rukoo’ and sujood.”

It is a Sunnah action to go to the ‘Eid prayer area walking – Shaykh ‘AbdulQaadir al-Junayd

AbdurRahman.org's avatar by

It has been authentically narrated from Zir Ibn Hubaysh that he said:

“‘Umar Ibn al-Khattaab (radhiAllaahu anhu) left on the day of ‘Eid al-Fitr or the day of Adhaa covered in a cotton garment, walking.”

[Narrated by Ibn Abi Shaybah, no, 5590]

Also, it is authentically narrated from Ja’far Ibn Barqaan that he said:

“‘Umar Ibn ‘Abdil ‘Azeez wrote encouraging them on the two ‘Eids: ‘Whoever can come to them walking, then do so.’”

[Narrated by ‘Abdur Razzaaq, no. 5664 – and this is his wording, and Ibn Abi Shaybah, no. 5604]

It is also authentically reported from Sa’eed Ibn al-Musayyib that he said:

“The Sunnah of ‘Eid al-Fitr is three.” And he mentioned that from them was: “Walking to the prayer area.”

[Narrated by al-Faryaabi, pg. 18]

Imaam at-Tirmidhee mentioned in his ‘Sunan’, vol. 2, pg. 264:

“The majority of the People of Knowledge deem the individual walking to the ‘Eid prayer to be a recommended act.”

The Types of Hijrah by Shaykh Yahya al-Jaabiree

Bismillah wa -Alhamdulillah wa Salaatu wa Salaam ‘alaa Rasulillah ‘amma ba’d

Allah said:

In The Midst Of Their Enjoyment They Were Plunged Into Destruction

Bismillah wa -Alhamdulillah wa Salaatu wa Salaam ‘alaa Rasulillah ‘amma ba’d

The Noble Shaykh Muhammad ‘Awaaji al-Madkhalee (May Allah Preserve Him) from the mashaayikh of Jeezan, Saudi Arabia delivered a LIVE tele-lecture with Muwahhideen Publications on Saturday 13th September 2014. The Shaykh is a student of Shaykh Ahmad an-Najmi (rahimahullah) andShaykh Zayd al-Madkhalee. He is a teacher at the Salafi Institute in Jeezan, and is recommended by Shaykh Fawaaz al-Madkhalee, Shaykh Zayd al-Madkhalee and others.

This lecture event was translated LIVE into English.

• This lecture is based on the aayaah:

“So, when they forgot (the warning) with which they had been reminded, We opened to them the gates of every (pleasant) thing, until in the midst of their enjoyment in that which they were given, all of a sudden, We took them to punishment, and lo! They were plunged into destruction with deep regrets and sorrows.” [al-An’aam 6:44]

• When the people of Eemaan hear this verse their skin trembles out of fear because they are living and enjoying the blessings of Allah and they do not know if they have truly thanked Allah for those blessings. So we fear that this aayah might apply to us for not giving thanks for those blessings bestowed upon us.

All praise belongs to Allāh; to Him alone belong all greatness. He is the Glorified, the One Who no one besides Him owns all the Greatness and Power. The dominion belongs to Him and all praise belongs to Him. All of the affairs are in His Hands; everything comes from Him and everything shall return to Him. He is to be praised and He is the All-Great. He is near His servants with His Knowledge and is aware of everything they say do and think; absolutely nothing is a secret from Him. He knows everything that is in their souls and is aware of what they do in private and in public. He is the Only One Who gives and withholds; He is the One Who debases and the One Who raises others. The One Who makes some people noble and lowers others; the One Who gives life and causes death. There is nothing and no one who deserves worship except Him. He – The Exalted – said about Himself: “To Him belongs all that is in the heavens and all that is in the earth, and He is the Most High, the Most Great.” [1]

The majority of the People of Knowledge are of the opinion that this hadeeth is mursal and from those scholars who were of this opinion include: Ibn Ma’een, Abu Zur’ah ar-Raazee, an-Nasaa’ee, Abu Daawood, al-Bayhaqeeand al-Waadi’ee. And mursal is from the categories of weak hadeeth.

The Evil Reality Of Freemasonry – Shaykh Ali al-Waseefi [Audio|Ar-En]

AbdurRahman.org's avatar by

The Evil Reality Of Freemasonry by Shaykh 'Ali al-Waseefi

Bismillah wa -Alhamdulillah wa Salaatu wa Salaam ‘alaa Rasulillah ‘amma ba’d

The Noble Shaykh ‘Ali al-Waseefi (May Allah preserve him) from the Mashaayikh of Egypt , is a student of Shaykh Hasan Ibn ‘Abdul Wahhaab Marzuq al-Banna and is also recommended by him. When Shaykh Hasan was asked, “Who are (the mashaayikh) of Ahlus Sunnah in Egypt?” From the mashaayikh he mentioned by name was Shaykh ‘Ali al-Waseefi (May Allah preserve them both).

There occurs in the fatwa numbered 893, and found in the “Fataawaa al-Lajnah ad-Daa’imah” (1/312), the following insightful explanation from the Permanent Committee, and it is signed by Shaykh Abdullaah al-Ghudayaan and Shaykh Abdur-Razzaaq al-Afeefee and Shaykh Abdullaah al-Manee’ (and we also have another fatwa from the Fiqh Council on the subject that includes Shaykh Abdul-Azeez Bin Baz, see below), so in this fatwa there occurs:

الماسونية هي جمعية سرية سياسية تهدف إلى القضاء على الأديان والأخلاق الفاضلة وإحلال القوانين الوضعية والنظم غير الدينية محلها

Masonry is a secret political organization which seeks to destroy religions and virtuous characteristics (morals), and the institution of secular laws and non-religious [secular] order in their place…

And in the fatwa of the Fiqh Council in their ruling on Freemasonry, signed by Imaam Ibn Baz (in the capacity of the head of the Permanent Committee for Research and Verdicts), and also Shaykh Abdullah bin Humaid(in the capacity of the Director of the Judicial Council), and printed in (مجلة البحوث الإسلامية), “Islamic Research Magazine”, (25/337-340) there occurs:

إنها في أهدافها الحقيقية السرية ضد الأديان جميعا لتهديمها بصورة عامة وتهديم الإسلام في نفوس أبنائه بصورة خاصة

It (Masonry) in its real and hidden objectives is opposed to all religions, its (intent) being to destroy them all in general, and to destroy Islam in the souls of its adherents, in particular.

And Shaykh al-Albaani (rahimahullaah) said in the cassette “Silsilah al-Huda wan-Nur” (tape no. 420):

الماسونية هى جمعية سرية يهودية وتعمل بمكر شديد جدا

Freemasonry is a secret Jewish organization which acts with severe, intense conniving…

And Shaykh Ahmad bin Yahyaa an-Najmee (rahimahullaah), in his book on Questions and Answers onManhaj, he stated, in one of the answers:

أقول إن الماسونية منظمة يهودية ؛ قصد من إنشائها تعطيل الشرائع , وإشباع الغرائز والشهوانية , وعبادة المادة

…I say that Freemasonry is a Jewish organization, the intent behinds its institution is the nullification of the [divine] legislature, and the gratification of impulses and lusts, and the worship of materialism…

And Shaykh Abdul-Aziz ar-Rajihee has explained, as occurs in “Fawaa’id fil-Aqaa’id” (no. 44) that:

الماسونية: جمعية سرية أو منظمة يهودية هدفها القضاء على العقائد والأديان

Masonry: A secret society or a Jewish organization whose goal is to destroy beliefs and religions.

The Ibaadah of The Salaf In The Last Ten Nights of Ramadhaan – Shaykh Usamah al-Utaybi [Audio|Ar-En]

The Ibaadah of The Salaf In The Last Ten Nights of Ramadhaan - Shaykh Usamah al-Utaybi

 

The Shaykh graduated from the Faculty of Hadeeth at the IslaamicUniversity of Madeenah and studied with many mashaayikh including Shaykh Muhammad Ibn Saalih al-‘Uthaymeen (rahimahullah) and Shaykh Rabee’ Ibn Haadee al-Madkhalee (hafidhahullah), among others.

On the Authority of ‘Aa’ishah (May Allah be pleased with her) who said:

“When the last ten nights would enter, Allah’s Messenger (sallAllahu ‘alayhi wa sallam) would stay up throughout the night, awaken his family, become intense (in worship) and tighten his mi’zar (lower garment).” [Agreed upon]

The Salaf held this great month and more so the last ten nights in high regard and strove to increase in and exert themselves in ‘ibaadah, seeking and hoping for the reward from their Lord. Thus, it is encouraged that we all endeavour to imitate our Messenger (sallAllahu ‘alayhi wa sallam) and our Pious Predecessors and strive not only in this month but accustom our souls to the obedience of Allah during the remaining months.

Our Shaykh Usamah al-‘Utaybi (hafidhahullah) will enlighten us regarding the ‘ibaadah of the Salaf in the last ten nights of Ramadhaan and by the Permission of Allah we will all be encouraged to exert ourselves and increase in our acts of worship in the remaining days and nights of this blessed month.

We ask Allah, Al-Kareem to make it easy for us to worship Him and that He grants us success in the month ofRamadhaan and steadfastness until we meet Him, Subhaanahu wa Ta’aala.

Verily Allah Will Never Change The Condition of A People Unless They Change What Is Within Themselves – Shaykh Abdullah an-Najmi [Audio|Ar-En]

AbdurRahman.org's avatar by

Verily Allah Will Never Change The Condition of A People Unless They Change What Is Within Themselves - Shaykh Abdullah an-Najmi

 

The Noble Shaykh ‘Abdullah an-Najmi (May Allah Preserve Him) from the mashayikh of Jeezan, Saudi Arabia is a student of Shaykh Ahmad an-Najmi (rahimahullah) and is highly recommended by Shaykh Rabee’ al-Madkhalee,Shaykh Zayd al-Madkhalee and others (May Allah Preserve Them).

Allah (Subhaanahu wa Ta’aala) says in the Qur’aan,

For each (person), there are angels in succession, before and behind him. They guard him by the Command of Allah. Verily! Allah will not change the good condition of a people as long as they do not change their state of goodness themselves (by committing sins and by being ungrateful and disobedient to Allah). But when Allah wills a people’s punishment, there can be no turning back of it, and they will find besides Him no protector. [Ra’d :11]

This ayah indicates that Allah (Glorified and Exalted be He) does not change – out of His Justice and Wisdom – the good state of a people into a bad one or vice versa, unless they change what is in themselves. If they change their state of uprightness and integrity, Allah will change their state and overtake them with punishment, distresses, miseries, sterility, and other kinds of penalties, an exact recompense according to their evil crimes.

On the other hand, they may be in distress committing evils and sins, then repent to Allah regretfully and obey Him, so Allah changes their distress, dissension, adversity and poverty into prosperity, union, and welfare due to their good deeds and repentance to Allah (Glorified and Exalted be He). [Fatwas of Ibn Baaz  from Alifta.com]

Shaykh ‘Abdullah an-Najmi (hafidhahullah) will lecture to us regarding this pertinent matter and by the Permission of Allah, we would all benefit and thus resolve to rectify our situations according to the Qur’aan and Sunnah with the understanding of our Pious Predecessors.

We ask Allah, the Changer of the hearts to keep our hearts firm upon His Deen.

The Importance of Teaching Your Children The Correct Aqeedah – Shaykh Abdullah An-Najmi [Audio|Ar-En]

The Importance of Teaching Your Children The Correct Aqeedah by Shaykh Abdullah An-Najmi

 

The Noble Shaykh ‘Abdullah an-Najmi (May Allah Preserve Him) from the mashaayikh of Jeezan, SaudiArabia will deliver a LIVE tele-lecture with Muwahhideen Publications on Friday 26th April 2013. The Shaykh is a student of Ash-Shaykh Ahmad an-Najmi (rahimahullah) and Shaykh Zayd al-Madkhalee (hafidhahullah).

Allah says in His Book,

“O you who believe! Ward off from yourselves and your families a Fire (Hell) whose fuel is men and stones”
[At-Tahrim: 6]

Regarding this verse, the following narrations were reported from the Salaf –

‘Ali Ibn Abi Taalib (radhiyAllahu ‘anhu): “Discipline them, teach them.”

Ibn ‘Abbaas (radhiyAllahu ‘anhum): “Stay obedient to Allah, stay away from disobeying Allah and command your families to remember Allah, and He will save you from the Fire.”

Mujaahid (rahimahullah): “Fear Allah and obey him (practice taqwa) and tell your families to practice taqwa.”

Qataadah (rahimahullah): “A person protects his family by telling them to obey Allah and forbidding them from disobeying Him. He upholds Allah’s commandments and helps his family to uphold them. So if you see some disobedience of Allah you stop them from doing it, and you reprimand them.” [Al-Tabarî, Al-Tafsîr, Sûrah Al-Tahrîm] [From SayingsoftheSalaf.net]

The Messenger of Allah (sallAllahu ‘alayhi wa sallam) said, “Every one of you (people) is a shepherd. And every one is responsible for whatever falls under his responsibility.  A man is like a shepherd of his own family, and he is responsible for them.”

So parents have a responsibility to teach their children the affairs of this religion; the most important being the matter of ‘Aqeedah as this is the foundation to all success and rectification.

Shaykh ‘Abdullah an-Najmi (hafidhahullah) will admonish us concerning this crucial topic and explain to us the extreme importance of teaching our children the correct ‘Aqeedah.

We ask Allah to guide us to His Straight Path and make us firm upon it and may He, Al-Haafidh protect us and our children from all evil.

O Sisters Maximize The Benefit Of Ramadhaan – Shaykh Abdullah an-Najmi [Audio|Ar-En]

O Sisters Maximize The Benefit Of Ramadhaan by Shaykh Abdullah an-Najmi

The Noble Shaykh ‘Abdullah an-Najmi (May Allah Preserve Him) from the mashaayikh of Jeezan, Saudi Arabia is a student of Ash-Shaykh Ahmad an-Najmi (rahimahullah) and Shaykh Zayd al-Madkhalee (rahimahullah).

With Ramadhaan just moments away, Muslims around the world are preparing for this tremendous month, hoping and intending to make the most of it. Every year sisters in particular request advice on how to capitalize on the rewards available in this opportune time while balancing their household duties.

According to Shaykh Sulaymaan ar-Ruhaylee (hafidhahullah), “…the Muslim Women increases in worship. That is because when the women strives in the service of her husband and the members of her household and she prepares food for them that which will suffice them, then she is in obedience to Allah, ‘Azza wa Jall, provided that she seeks the reward from Allah. Therefore, in this is a reward for her and also an increasement for her good deeds. And it is befitting for the Muslim Women when she is preparing the food that she busies her tongue with the remembrance of Allah. So while she is cooking she glorifies Allah, while she is cooking she is saying tahleel (Laa ilaaha illa Allah – None has the right to be worshipped except Allah), while she is cooking she is remembering Allah and in that she will have a tremendous reward. (Like this) preparing food will never divert her from the obedience of her Lord, Glorified is He, during the day of Ramadhaan. So congratulations to the Muslim Women who services her husband and the members of her household and she seeks the reward from Allah, ‘Azza wa Jall, and by that she does not become heedless concerning the remembrance of Allah and she performs what she is capable of doing from the different acts of worship during the day of Ramadhaan. For indeed she has achieved a great success.” [The Muslim Woman Increases More in Worship Than The Man in Ramadhaan By Shaykh Sulaymaan ar-Ruhaylee ]

Shaykh ‘Abdullah an-Najmi (hafidhahullah) will expound more on this topic and offer some points of advice to our sisters on how they can maximize the benefits of Ramadhaan.

We ask Allah to make us from those who truly benefit from this blessed month  and we seek refuge in Him from being amongst the losers.

The consensus of Ahlus Sunnah regarding three principles related to Allah’s Attributes – Shaykh ‘Abdul Qaadir al-Junayd

AbdurRahman.org's avatar by

Selected pearls from the books of the People of Knowledge and Fiqh

The consensus (amongst Ahlus Sunnah) which has been conveyed regarding three principles related to Allah’s Attributes

The First Principle: Regarding Allah the Most High’s Attributes, there is no place for the intellect (in deriving) them.

Al-Haafidh as-Sijzee mentioned in his book “Ar-Radd ‘ala man Ankara al-Harf wa as-Sawt”, pg. 121: “The Imaams have agreed that the Attributes are not derived except by way of refrainment” (i.e.refraining from affirming an Attribute for Allah until there is proof).

The Second Principle: Belief in the Attributes of Allah is by affirming their literal meaning not figurative.

Al-Haafidh Ibn ‘Abdil Barr mentioned in his book “at-Tamheed”, 145/7:

“There is a consensus amongst Ahlus Sunnah that the Attributes (of Allah) are affirmed, all of them, which have come in the Qur’aan and Sunnah and believing in them and understanding them according to their apparent meaning, not figuratively, except that they (Ahlus Sunnah) do not establish the ‘how’ of these Attributes nor do they establish or determine the reality of them.”

However, Ahlul Bid’ah, the Jahmiyyah and Mu’tazilah – all of them – and the Khawaarij deny them (Allah’s Attributes) and they do not understand any of them according to their literal meaning.

Those who deny Allah’s Attributes also claim that whoever affirms them, then he is one who has likened Allah to His creation and conversely, those who do so are considered from amongst the people who negate the One Who is worshipped according to those who affirm Allah’s Attributes.

The ‘Allaamah al-Maqreezee  mentioned in his book “al-Muwaa’idh wal I’tibaar bi Dhikr al-Khutat wal Aathaar”, 188/4:

“And all of them (Ahlus Sunnah) have narrated understanding the Attributes as they have come.”

The Third Principle: The literal meaning texts of the Attributes are known to us in light of their linguistic meaning and they are unknown to us with regards to the ‘how’ of these Attributes.

Al-Imaam adh-Dhahabee mentioned in his book “al-‘Arsh”, 195/1 whilst commenting on the statement of Imaam Maalik: “The ascension of Allah on His Throne is not unknown (its known linguistically) and the ‘how’ of it is incomprehensible”:

“And what Imaam Maalik said is what the texts have come with and this is what ALL of the Salaf were upon.”
