AL-AKHDHARI: The Book Of Ibadah. Part 2: THINGS PROHIBITED

 ﷽

*AL-AKHDHARI: The Book Of Ibadah*


*Part 2: THINGS PROHIBITED* 


It is forbidden for him to lie, backbite, maliciously gossip, and be proud and arrogant. It is likewise forbidden for him to show off for the sake of appearance and reputation, be envious and hateful or brag about his favours on others. Also forbidden are: scornfulness and mockery as well as caricaturing and ridiculing others. 

 

Adultery and fornication are also forbidden; so is looking lustfully at a woman not one’s wife or to take pleasure in her speech. 


It is also forbidden to consume peoples’ wealth without their consent or to make ones living through corrupt legal practices or the abuse of religion. 


Likewise forbidden is to delay Salaat thereby missing the prescribed time. 


It is not permissible for him to keep the company of a deviant (faasiq) or to sit with him without necessity nor should he seek the pleasure of created beings at the expense of incurring the displeasure of the Creator. 


Allah, the Exalted, has said: 

“…Allah and His Messenger are most worthy of being pleased if indeed they are Believers”. (Qur’an: Soorah 9: Verse 62) 


The Messenger, (May Allah grant him peace), also said: 

“No created being has the right to be obeyed at the expense of disobedience to the Creator” 

(Sahih Al-Bukhari) 


It is not permissible for him to undertake any deed except after he knows Allah’s ruling concerning that matter. He should as a matter of duty ask the learned and follow the examples of those who follow the Traditions of Prophet Muhammad (May Allah exalt his mention and grant him peace). Such are people who lead others unto the way of obedience to Allah and warn against following Satan. 


He should not be content to choose for himself what the morally bankrupt have chosen whose lives have been lost in acts not of obedience to Allah, the Exalted. How great their despair and how long their wailings on the Day of Judgement. 


We pray to Allah to enable us to follow the Traditions of our Prophet, Intercessor, and Master 

Muhammad (May Allah exalt his mention and grant him peace).

NOTHING HAPPENS WITHOUT THE PERMISSION OF ALLAH

 DAILY ISLAMIC REMINDERS. Yawm Arba'a. 29th day of Shaw'waal, 1445AH (Wednesday 8th May 2024). *_NOTHING HAPPENS WITHOUT THE PERMISSION OF ALLAH_*. BismilLah.  Even though feelings of Panic, stress/worries etc are part of life, they must not reduce our acts of worship or trust in ALLAH. The more a man turns to ALLAH and focuses on HIM, the more he will feel a sense of peace and comfort, to an extent that no one knows except ALLAH. Hence those who know ALLAH, are close to HIM and fear HIM are the happiest of people, to such an extent that one of them said, in a well-known expression: “If the kings and the sons of kings knew what joy we have, they would fight us for it with the sword.” This is also what is expressed in the Qur’an, as ALLAH says: “Whoever works righteousness, whether male or female, while he (or she) is a true believer (of Islamic Monotheism) verily, to him ALLAH will give a good life (in this world with respect, contentment and lawful provision), and ALLAH will ...

HELPING OTHERS WITH INTENTION FOR ALLAH'S HELP IN RETURN

 DAILY ISLAMIC REMINDER. Yaum Al-Khamis, 22nd day of Jumaadal Uula 1447AH, Thursday, 13th November, 2025.  *_HELPING OTHERS WITH INTENTION FOR ALLAH'S HELP IN RETURN_*. BismilLah.  When we help our brothers and sisters in Islam, in reality, we are helping ourselves. The Messenger of ALLAH (S.A.W) said: He who relieves the hardship of a believer in this world, ALLAH Azzawajallah will relieve his hardship on the Day of Judgment. He who makes easy what is difficult, ALLAH ALLAH Azzawajallah will make it easy for him in the world and the hereafter. He who conceals the faults of a Muslim, ALLAH ALLAH Azzawajallah will conceal his faults in this ALLAH Azzawajallah world and the Hereafter, for ALLAH helps the servant as long as he helps his brother. Source: Ṣaḥīḥ "Muslim 2699. AlhamdulilLah.  With this I hope with immediate effect we will all strive to help each other in any possible way such as making dua for each other, supporting our relatives and those in need in ou...
