 FAJR REMINDER: THE KHUTBAH AND ITS CONDITIONS By: Umm Affān Dhū al-Ḥijjah 19, 1447 (5-June-2026) The Fuqahā’ (jurists) of the four Madhāhib are reported to have agreed that the Jumu’ah Khutbah (Friday Sermon) is an essential condition for the validity of the Friday prayer. It is part of the remembrance of Allāh that He commands in His Saying: “O you who believe (Muslims)! When the call is proclaimed for the Ṣalāt (Prayer) on Friday (Jumu’ah prayer), come to the remembrance of Allāh [Jumu’ah religious talk (i.e. Khutbah) and Ṣalāt (prayer)] and leave of business (and every other thing), that is better for you if you did but know!” [Sūrah Al-Jumu’ah (62): 9] The Jumu’ah Khutbah has two important conditions. First, it must be delivered after the time for Jumu’ah prayer begins. Second, unlike the ‘Eid Khutbah, which is given after the prayer, the Jumu’ah Khutbah must be delivered before the prayer. There should also not be a long gap between the Khutbah and the prayer. Rather, the pra...

 *Imam's Friends* [[-- Episode 3 --]] ------------------ بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم *Offering obligatory prayer behind someone establishing nafil prayer:* There is nothing wrong with one who is offering an obligatory prayer to pray behind one who is offering an optional prayer. Evidence: Mu adh ibn Jabal (r.a.) used to pray Isha’ with the Prophet (pbuh), then he would go back to his people and lead them in praying ‘Isha’, and the prayer was optional for him and obligatory for them. An-Nawawi (may Allah have mercy on him) said: “In this Hadith, we see that it is permissible for one who is offering an obligatory prayer to pray behind one who is offering a optional prayer, because Mu‘adh used to offer the obligatory prayer with the Messenger of Allah (pbuh), so he discharged his duty, then he would pray the second time with his people, so it was voluntary for him and obligatory for them. This is stated clearly elsewhere than in Muslim, and this is permissible according to Ash-Shafa‘i (may...

 *Imam's Friends* [[-- Episode 2 --]] ------------------ بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم *Praying Maghrib behind one who is praying ‘Isha’:* Shaykh Ibn ‘Uthaymeen (may Allah have mercy on him) said: The correct view on this is that if a person comes (to the mosque) and the imam is praying ‘Isha’, whether he is with a group or not, he should join the imam, with the intention of praying Maghrib. It does not matter if the imam’s intention is different from that of one who is praying behind him, because the Prophet (pbuh) said: “Actions are but by intentions, and each person will have but that which he intended.” If they join him in the second rak’ah, they can say the tasleem with him, because they will have prayed three rak’ahs, and it does not matter if they sit for the Tashahhud during their first rak’ah. If they join him in the first rak’ah, then when he stands up for the fourth rak’ah, they can sit and recite the Tashahhud and say the tasleem, then join him in what remains of ‘Isha prayer....

 *Imam's Friends* [[-- Episode 1 --]] ------------------ بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم *Praying Asr behind an Imam Praying Maghrib:* It is not permissible to observe ‘Asr prayer behind an Imam observing Maghrib prayer; rather one should pray Maghrib with that particular Imam, then pray ‘Asr afterward, as agreed upon by all leading scholars and he does not have to repeat the Maghrib prayer after praying ‘Asr according to the most correct opinion. Sheikh al-Islam Ibn Taimiyyah said that he should pray Maghrib with the Imam, then pray ‘Asr afterward, as agreed upon by all leading scholars. He does not have to repeat Maghrib.....This is the saying of Ibn Abbas, the Shafi’i madhab. This is more correct (amongst all opinions on this), for Allah (سبحانه و تعالى) did not make it obligatory on the person to pray a swalaat twice if he has feared Allah as much as he can [Allah knows best]). 📚(From the book ‘What Should You Do in the Following Situations… ?’ by Majmooa Fatawi Ibn Taimiyyah) *Praying...

ALLAH Azzawajal reminds mankind of three tremendous blessings: 1. خَلَقَكَ "HE created us" ALLAH Azzawajal brought us into existence from nothing. Before our creation, we did not exist, yet ALLAH Azzawajal chose to create us, sustain us, and bless us. 2. فَسَوَّاكَ  "HE fashioned us perfectly" ALLAH Azzawajal did not merely create mankind; HE perfected us. HE gave human beings: Eyes to see, Ears to hear, A tongue to speak, A mind to reason, A heart to understand. ALLAH Azzawajal says: "I have certainly created man in the best of stature." (Qur’an 9:4).

Verse 6:  يَا أَيُّهَا الإِنْسَانُ مَا غَرَّكَ بِرَبِّكَ الْكَرِيمِ After describing the terrifying events of the Day of Judgment in verses 1–5, ALLAH Azzawajal turns directly to mankind with a powerful question: O man! What has deceived you concerning your Lord, the Generous?. Here ALLAH Azzawajal warns arrogant humans who forget accountability and indulge in worldly distractions.

 FAJR REMINDER: THOSE WHO HAVE TAQWĀ… By: Umm Affān Dhū al-Ḥijjah 16, 1447 (2-June-2026) Prophet Ibrāhīm (‘Alayhi Salām) was commanded through a dream to sacrifice his beloved son, Isma’īl (‘Alayhi Salām). This was undoubtedly one of the greatest and clearest tests of faith ever placed upon a servant of Allāh. Yet, without hesitation, Prophet Ibrāhīm (‘Alayhi Salām) hastened to fulfil what he had seen, demonstrating complete submission to the Command of Allāh and unwavering obedience to Him. Because of his remarkable devotion, Allāh (ﷻ) praises him, saying: “And of Ibrāhīm who fulfilled (or conveyed) all that (what Allāh ordered him to do or convey).” [Sūrah An-Najm (53): 37] As a reward for his sincerity and obedience, Allāh replaced Isma’īl (‘Alayhi Salām) with a sacrificial animal. Allāh (ﷻ) says: “And We ransomed him with a great sacrifice (i.e. a ram), and We left for him (a goodly remembrance) among generations (to come) in later times. Salāmun (peace) be upon Ibrāhīm! Thus i...

 *Ruqaiyyah's Life* ------------------ بسم الله الرحمان الرجيم Ruqaiyyah, lived a life of full-time Muslim. She prayed Tahajjud CONSISTENTLY without missing. She died when Zainab was young. Before her death, she held Zainab’s hand. Her last words were: "Never you be a part-time Muslim who doesn't establish Tahajjud consistently for any reason. Be like me." After her mother died, Zainab’s father married another woman. This woman was Zainab’s stepmother. She did not love Zainab. For twenty years, she hated her. This stepmother had a dark wish. She wanted Zainab to fail. She wanted her to be poor, to be alone, and to have no happiness. She even wanted her to die. She tried many bad things, but none worked. Zainab remembered her mother’s words. Every night, when the house was dark and quiet, she would wake up. She would pray Tahajjud. Something amazing happened. Every evil plan the stepmother made for Zainab... did not touch Zainab. Instead, it went back. It returned to t...

BismilLah.  Let's continue with our studies of suurah Al-Infitar with Verse-by-Verse Meanings & Commentary Verse 1: إِذَا السَّمَاءُ انفَطَرَتْ When the sky is cleft asunder. The suurah begins with a vivid apocalyptic image. The “splitting of the sky” symbolizes the end of the current world order. It reminds us that nothing is permanent and the Day of Judgment is inevitable. Verse 2: وَإِذَا الْكَوَاكِبُ انتَثَرَتْ And when the stars are scattered. Stars, which seem fixed and eternal, will be dispersed. This reminds humans of their limited understanding and the transient nature of the material universe. Verse 3: وَإِذَا الْبِحَارُ فُجِّرَتْ And when the seas are erupted. The oceans will overflow and reveal the immense power of ALLAH Azzawajal. It serves as a metaphor for t...
