AL-AKHDHARI: The Book Of Ibadah Part 32: FORGETFULNESS IN NAAFILAH

 ﷽

*AL-AKHDHARI: The Book Of Ibadah*


*Part 32: FORGETFULNESS IN NAAFILAH*

 

Forgetfulness in Naafilah Salaat is like forgetfulness in Fard Salaat except in six issues: Al Faatiha, the Soorah, silent and audible recitation, the addition of a Rak’at and forgetting some of the pillars: obligatory acts if it takes a long time. 


Whoever forgets the Faatiha in Naafilah and remembers after going to Ruku’, he continues and repairs this with the Sujood before Salaam as opposed to the Fard Salaat where he will have to nullify that Rak’at, add another Rak’at and go ahead, then his Sujood would be as we mentioned in the case of one who omits the Sujood.

 

Whoever forgets the Soorah or audible or silent recitation in Naafilah and remembers after Ruku’, he should continue and no Sujoods would be required of him as opposed to the Fard. 


Whoever arises unto the third Rak’at in Naafilah and remembers before going to Ruku’, he should return sitting and do the Sujood after Salaam. If however, he has already gone to Ruku’, he continues and adds a fourth Rak’at and then does the Sujood before Salaam. This is 

as opposed to the Fard where he should return sitting at whichever point he remembers and then repairs it with the Sujood after Salaam. 


Whoever forgets an obligatory element in Naafilah such as Ruku’ or Sujood and does not remember until he has said the Salaam and a long time has passed, there would be no need for him to repeat it. This is again as opposed to Fard Salaat in which case he would always have to repeat it. 


Whoever intentionally cuts short his Naafilah or leaves out a Rak’at or a Sajda deliberately should always repeat it.

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...
