Importance of Friday !

Zaid Shakil — Fri, 31 Dec 2010 19:22:23 +0530

riday is the best day of the week. Imam Bukhari and Muslim reported that Prophet Mohammad (Peace Be Upon Him) had said, "We (Muslims) came last and yet we are the first on the day of judgment. They have received the books before us (meaning Torah and Injil). We have received the book after them (meaning the Qur’an). Friday was their day to be glorified. However, they disputed on that while Allah had told us Friday is the day to glorify. Thus they will follow us. The Jews glorify Saturday, and the Christians glorify Sunday." Also reported by Imam Muslim, Abo-Dawod, Al-Nesaii, and Al-Termithi, that Prophet Mohammad (Peace Be Upon Him) had said, "The best day during which the sun have risen is Friday. It is the Day Adam was created. It is the day when Adam entered paradise and also when he was taken out from it. It is also the day on which the day of judgment takes place."

Zaid Shakil — Mon, 13 Dec 2010 06:03:11 +0530

Islamic law, Shari'ah, looks to the Qur'an as its source for every prescriptive and proscriptive guidance for Muslims. In fact, the Qur'an is crystal clear about intoxicants. Intoxicants are not allowed for specific spiritual reasons. In this life, alcohol is the source of so many individual and social ills and sinful behavior. Intoxicants are equal to gambling and are troublesome and dangerous for Muslim believers to consume. Indeed, to consume intoxicants is one of the worst sins that Muslims can commit.

1. This matter is not as simple and clearly distinguishable for sisters as it is for brothers, so it must be thoroughly explained.

2. There are a number of lectures given from shayukh to the brothers, in detail; however, rarely do we ever hear any Shariah explanation for sisters, in detail.

3. Mothers feel shy talking to their daughters about it. In which case, if the young daughter experiences a wet dream, she may not know the Shariah ruling on it or how to purify herself afterward.

Allah (swt) tells us in the Quran:

Pray as you have seen me praying

Zaid Shakil — Fri, 03 Dec 2010 06:00:53 +0530

The command of the Prophet “Pray as you have seen me praying”

The following hadeeth is mentioned by every scholar of Ahlus sunnah while talking about As Salaah:

Pray as you have seen me praying(Bukhari)

This is one of theah adeeth used as a basis of the understanding that all the aspects of ‘i ba a d a h (worship) generally and theSlaah in particular have to be performed the way that the Messenger of Allah taught or practiced. Hence it is incumbent upon the worshipper to perform AsSalaah, no way other than the way of Prophet Muhammed
