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 ...

One of the question asked is can a Christian enter Jannah today?

 One of the question asked is can a Christian enter Jannah today? Alhamdulillah, it is clear from Quran and hadiths that any christian who dies believing Jesus is God or son of God and do not believe in prophet Muhammad Peace be Upon Him will enter hellfire. Allah says, Al-Ma'idah 5:17 They have certainly disbelieved who say that Allāh is Christ, the son of Mary. Say, "Then who could prevent Allāh at all if He had intended to destroy Christ, the son of Mary, or his mother or everyone on the earth?" And to Allāh belongs the dominion of the heavens and the earth and whatever is between them. He creates what He wills, and Allāh is over all things competent. Allah says, Al-Ma'idah 5:72 لَقَدۡ كَفَرَ ٱلَّذِينَ قَالُوٓاْ إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ هُوَ ٱلۡمَسِيحُ ٱبۡنُ مَرۡيَمَۖ وَقَالَ ٱلۡمَسِيحُ يَٰبَنِيٓ إِسۡرَٰٓءِيلَ ٱعۡبُدُواْ ٱللَّهَ رَبِّي وَرَبَّكُمۡۖ إِنَّهُۥ مَن يُشۡرِكۡ بِٱللَّهِ فَقَدۡ حَرَّمَ ٱللَّهُ عَلَيۡهِ ٱلۡجَنَّةَ وَمَأۡوَىٰهُ ٱلنَّارُۖ وَمَا لِلظَّٰلِمِينَ مِنۡ أَنصَ...

Friday and it's dignity.

 Friday and it's dignity. Alhamdulillah, Allah says, Al-Jumu'ah 62:9 يَآأَيُّهَا ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُوٓاْ إِذَا نُودِيَ لِلصَّلَوٰةِ مِن يَوۡمِ ٱلۡجُمُعَةِ فَٱسۡعَوۡاْ إِلَىٰ ذِكۡرِ ٱللَّهِ وَذَرُواْ ٱلۡبَيۡعَۚ ذَٰلِكُمۡ خَيۡرࣱ لَّكُمۡ إِن كُنتُمۡ تَعۡلَمُونَ O you who have believed, when [the adhān] is called for the prayer on the day of Jumuʿah [Friday], then proceed to the remembrance of Allāh and leave trade. That is better for you, if you only knew. Friday is the best day of the week because it was the day Adam was created, the day he entered paradise and the day he was removed from paradise. it was also the day he died and the hour(qiyaamah) will not come except on this day. Sahih. It was narrated from Aws bin Aws that: The Prophet (ﷺ) said: "Whoever washes (ghassala) and performs ghusl, comes early to the masjid and sits near the imam and does not engage in idle talk, he will have for every step he takes (the reward of) a year's worth of good deeds, fasting it and...
