AL-AKHDHARI: The Book Of Ibadah Part 30: IF YOU SEE SNAKE OR SCORPION DURING SALAAT

*AL-AKHDHARI: The Book Of Ibadah*


*Part 30: IF YOU SEE SNAKE OR SCORPION DURING SALAAT*


If ones mind wonders a little into worldly affairs his reward lessens but his Salaat is not invalidated. 


Whoever pushes away someone about to pass in front of him or makes Sujood on the side of 

his forehead or on a roll or two rolls of his turban there is nothing on him. There is likewise, no harm for involuntary vomiting or belching in Salaat. 


The forgetfulness of the follower in Salaat is borne by the Imam except it be a case of omitting a Fard (obligatory) act. 


If one following an Imam in Salaat forgets or dozes off or is pressed for time to make the Ruku’ in other than the first Rak’at and he hopes to catch up with the Imam before the latter 

arises from the second Sajda, he should go to Ruku’ and then join the Imam. If however, he has no such hope of catching up with the Imam, he skips the Ruku’ and follows his Imam and then makes up an extra Rak’at to replace this one after the Imam’s Salaam.

 

If on the other hand, he forgets the Sujood or is pressed for time or dozes off until the Imam stands up for the next Rak’at, he should go to Sujood even if he desires to catch up with the Imam before the latter goes to Ruku’. Otherwise, he skips it and follows the Imam and makes up for this later with an additional Rak’at. When he has made up with the additional Rak’at, no Sujoods would be required of him unless he has doubts concerning the Ruku’ or Sujood. 


Whoever is approached by a scorpion or snake (while in Salaat) and he kills it, there is nothing on him unless his action takes a long time or he turns away from the Qibla (in the process) in which case he breaks his Salaat. 


Whoever is unsure whether he is in the Witr or the last Rak’at of Asshaf’i, should make it the last Rak’at of Asshaf’i and then do the Sujood after Salaam then the Witr. Whoever talks 

between Asshaf’i and Al-Witr forgetfully has nothing on him. If however, he does so deliberately it is abhorrent but there is still nothing on him.

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...

THE MUSLIM WOMAN AND HER OWN SELF

 DAILY ISLAMIC REMINDER. Yawm athalaatha, 3rd day of Rabeeul Awwal 1447AH, Tuesday, 26th August 2025. *_THE MUSLIM WOMAN AND HER OWN SELF_*. BismilLah.  Islam encourages Muslims in general to stand out among people, readily distinguishable by their dress, appearance and behaviour, so that they will be a good example, worthy of the great message that they bring to humanity. According to the hadith narrated by the great Sahabi Ibn al-Hanzaliyyah, the Prophet (sallallahu alaihi wasallam ) told his Companions, when they were travelling to meet some brothers in faith: "You are going to visit your brothers, so repair your saddles and make sure that you are dressed well, so that you will stand out among people like an adornment, for ALLAH (SWT) does not love ugliness." Reported by Imam Abu Dawud, 4/83, in Kitab al-libas, bab ma ja'a fi isbal al-izar. The Prophet (sallallahu alaihi wasallam) considered an unkempt and careless appearance, and scruffy clothes and furnishings, to be...
