 Muslims Till Death:

AS SALAAMU ALAYKUM WARAHMATULLAH WABARAKAATUHU . LET'S START TONIGHT'S EDUCATION. OUR TOPIC IS 👇.                                                                            *THE PILGRIMAGE TO MECCAH (HaJJ)  (Episode 6)

Then he should move towards the right, with the Kabah on his left, and when he reaches the Yemeni Corner (al-Rukn al-Yamaani, which is the third corner after the Black Stone) he should touch it, without kissing his hand or saying Allaahu akbar. If he cannot touch it then he should move on, and not crowd around it. Between the Yemeni Corner and the Black Stone he should say, Rabbanaa aatina fil-dunya hasanah wa fil-aakhirah hasanah wa qinna adhaab al-Naar (Our Lord! Give us in this world that which is good and in the Hereafter that which is good, and save us from the torment of the Fire). Narrated by Abu Dawood and classed as hasan by al-Albaani in Saheeh Abi Dawood, 1666.

Every time he passes the Black Stone he should face it and say Allaahu akbar, and in the rest of his tawaaf he should recite whatever he likes of dhikr, duaa and Quraan, because tawaaf around the Kabah has been established for the remembrance of Allaah.

In Tawaaf men should do two things:
▪️ Uncovering the right shoulder (idtibaa) from the beginning of tawaaf until the end. This is done by placing the middle of the rida (upper garment) beneath the right armpit and the ends of the rida over the left shoulder.

When the pilgrim finishes tawaaf, he should put his rida back as it was before tawaaf, because the time for wearing it with one shoulder uncovered is only in tawaaf.
▪️ Raml in the first three circuits only. Raml means walking quickly with short steps. In the last four circuits there is no raml, rather the pilgrim should walk normally.

When the pilgrim has completed seven circuits of tawaaf, he should cover his right shoulder and then go to the Station of Ibraaheem (Maqaam Ibraaheem) and recite the words (interpretation of the meaning):
___*PAGE 4*___.
✍️...                             

And take you (people) the Maqaam (place) of Ibraaheem (Abraham) [or the stone on which Ibraaheem (Abraham) stood while he was building the Kabah] as a place of prayer (for some of your prayers, e.g. two Rakat after the Tawaaf of the Kabah at Makkah), [al-Baqarah 2:125]

Then he should pray two rakahs behind the Station; in the first rakah after reciting al-Faatihah he should recite Qul yaa ayyahal-kaafiroon (Soorat al-Kaafiroon 109) and in the second Qul Huwa Allaahu ahad (Soorat al-Ikhlaas 112). Then when he has finished this prayer he should go to the Black Stone and touch it if he can. It is prescribed at this point to touch it only; if he cannot do that then he should go away and not point to it.

*Saai*


Then he should go out to the Masaa (place for saai) and when he comes near to al-Safa he should recite (interpretation of the meaning): Verily, As-Safa and Al-Marwah (two mountains in Makkah) are of the Symbols of Allaah [al-Baqarah 2:158]

And he should say: Nabdau bima badaa Allaah bihi (We start with that with which Allaah started).
___*PAGE 6*___.
✍️...

Then he should climb al-Safa until he can see the Kabah, then he should face it and raise his hands and praise Allaah, and make duaa as he wishes. The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) used to say: Laa ilaaha ill-Allaah wahdahu laa shareeka lah, lahul-mulk, wa lahul-hamd, wa huwa ala kulli shayin qadeer. Laa ilaaha ill-Allaah wahdah, anjaza wadah, wa nasara abdah, wa hazamaa al-ahzaaba wahdah (There is no god but Allaah alone, with no partner or associate; His is the Dominion, all praise is due to Him, and He is able to do all things.
___*PAGE 7*___.
✍️...                              

There is no god but Allaah alone; he fulfilled His promise, granted victory to His slave, and defeated the confederates alone). Narrated by Muslim, 1218.

He should repeat that three times, and make duaa in between. He should recite this dhikr then make duaa, then recite it again and make duaa, and recite it a third time, then come down to al-Marwah, and not make duaa after the third time.
__*PAGE 8*___.
✍️...                               

When he reaches the green marker he should run as quickly as he can without disturbing anyone, because it was proven that the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) did saai between al-Safa and al-Marwah, and he said, The river bed is not crossed except with vigour. Narrated by Ibn Maajah and classed as saheeh by al-Albaani in Saheeh Ibn Maajah, 2419. The river bed [it was a dried river bed in the time of the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him)] is the area between the two green markers that stand there now.
___*PAGE 9*___.
✍️...                          

When he reaches the second green marker, he should walk normally until he reaches al-Marwah. He should climb up it and turn to face the qiblah, and raise his hands and say what he said at al-Safa. Then he should come down from al-Marwah and head for al-Safa, walking in the place of walking and running in the place of running. When he reaches al-Safa he should do what he did the first time, and the same when he goes back to al-Marwah, until he has completed seven circuits; going from al-Safa to al-Marwah is one circuit, and coming back from al-Marwah to al-Safa is another circuit.
___*PAGE 10*___.
✍️...                        

During his saai he can say whatever he likes or dhikr and duaa, and recite Quraan.

Note: The verse (interpretation of the meaning): Verily, As-Safa and Al-Marwah (two mountains in Makkah) are of the Symbols of Allaah *[al-Baqarah 2:158]* should be recited by the pilgrim who wants to perform saai when he approaches al-Safa at the beginning of saai only. It is not mustahabb to repeat it every time he approaches al-Safa and al-Marwah, as some people do.

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...

BEST TIME FOR TAHAJJUD

 *BEST TIME FOR TAHAJJUD* It is best to delay this prayer to the last third portion of the night. Abu Hurairah reports that the Messenger of Allah said: "Our Lord descends to the lowest heaven during the last third of the night, inquiring: 'Who will call on Me so that I may respond to him? Who is asking something of Me so I may give it to him? Who is asking for My forgiveness so I may forgive him?"' This is related by the group. 'Amr ibn Abasah reports that he heard the Prophet say: "The closest that a slave comes to his Lord is during the middle of the latter portion of the night. If you can be among those who remember Allah, the Exalted One, at that time then do so." This is related by al-Hakim who grades it sahih according to Muslim's standards, and at-Tirmizhi calls it hasan sahih. AnNasa'i and Ibn Khuzaimah also recorded it. Abu Muslim asked Abu Zharr: "Which late-night prayer is the best?" He said: "I asked the Messenger of A...
