Fajr up

The Prophet (SAW) said:
“Whoever prays the fajr prayer in congregation, 
it is as if he (or she) had prayed the whole night long.” 

Now, to show the seriousness of missing this prayer,
we present the Hadith of the Prophet (SAW)
“The most burdensome prayers for the hypocrites are Isha and Fajr, 
but if they only knew what they contain, t
hey would come even if they had to crawl.”

The Fajr (dawn) prayer is amongst the most important acts of worship,
being one of the five obligatory prayers.

Unfortunately many of us have become so used to missing it at its prescribed time –
which ends at sunrise –
that we have forgotten its position in our religion,
and barely feel anything is wrong when we wake up for work or school without having performed the fajr prayer.
On the other hand, if one of us was to miss a job interview or a flight,
we all know how disappointed he or she would feel.

Do not let Satan benefit from his actions.
Do not put off a good that you intended to do
as you never know how much reward you might receive from the hardships you encounter
while trying to achieve that good.

THE IDEAL MUSLIM HUSBAND

The best love story for a Muslim is finding a wife/husband who makes their Imaan rise,
who makes them want to gain knowledge and become more pious,
what is more blessed than that !

The key to succeeding in marriage is not finding the right person;
it is learning to love the person you found.O Allaah,
guide us & help us to live, love & die for Your sake alone. Ameen.



"THE IDEAL MUSLIM HUSBAND"

♥He chooses a good wife.

Surah Al-Inshirah

A Woman's Dua for Husband

O Allah! Please grant me the one
Who will be the garment for my soul
Who will satisfy half of my deen
And in doing so make me whole

Make him righteous and on your path
In all he'll do and say
And sprinkle water on me at Fajr
Reminding me to pray

May he earn from halal sources
And spend within his means
May he seek Allah's guidance always
To fulfill all his dreams

May he always refer to Qur'an
and the Sunnah as his moral guide
May he thank and appreciate Allah
For the woman at his side

Surah al Kafiroon

WHAT CAN I EAT AND DRINK?

WHAT CAN I EAT AND DRINK?

"O you who believe! Eat of the good things (Halal) that We have provided for you, and be grateful to Allah (swt) if Him it is that you serve" (2:172)

Halal and Haraam

Halal is an Arabic word which means lawful or allowed. Halal with regards to food and drink means that it is permitted for Muslims under the Islamic Law (Shari'ah). Halal food and drink does not consist of anything which is deemed unlawful.

Haraam is an Arabic word which means unlawful or forbidden. Haraam with regards to food and drink means that it is not permitted for Muslims under the Islamic Law (Shari'ah). It is considered a sin for a muslim to knowingly consume haraam food.

There are many rules regarding halal and haraam with regards to food and drink. It is important to note that the rules may vary depending on necessity.

Each individual should follow a Mujthahid and obtain a copy of his rulings. Please click here to jump to the page on following a Mujthahid. Within a Mujthahid's rulings you will find many Islamic rules with regards to food and drink. We have also included below some rulings from Ayatullah Seestani, for a complete set of rulings from Ayatullah Seestani please click here, once in the site click on Islamic Laws.

In the meantime please note the following very general points:

• Anything from a pig, meat and by-products etc, are all haraam.
• Drinking alcohol is haraam.
• Halal animals should be slaughtered according to Islamic law. Many towns now have a halal butchers shop.
• If a halal animal, eg cow, is not slaughtered in accordance with Islamic law then the meat becomes haraam for Muslims.
• Carrion is haraam

A few rulings from Islamic Laws by Ayatullah Seestani:

2633. All birds, like eagle, vultures and wild falcons having a claw and talon, are haraam to eat. And all such birds whose gliding is more than flapping the wings, and have talons, are also haraam to eat. Those whose flapping of the wings while flying, is more than gliding, are halal to eat.
Thus, one can identify halal birds from haraam ones by observing how they fly. And if the style of any bird's flight cannot be determined, that bird will be considered halal for eating, if it has a crop or a gizzard or a spur on the back of its feet. In the absence of all these, the bird will be haraam. As an obligatory precaution, one should refrain from eating the meat of all types of crows.
Other birds like the hens, the pigeons, the sparrows including the ostrich and the peacock are halal to eat, but it is Makrooh to kill birds like swallows and hoopoes. And the animals which fly, but are not classified as winged birds, like the bats, are haraam; similarly, the bees, the mosquitoes, and other flying insects are, as an obligatory precaution, haraam.

2634. If a part which possesses life is removed from the body of a living animal, for example, if the fatty tail or some flesh is removed from the body of a living sheep, it is najis and haraam to eat.

2635. Certain parts of the halal animals are haraam to eat. They are fourteen:

• Blood
• Excrement
• Male and female genitals
• Womb
• Glands
• Testicles
• Pituitary gland, a ductless gland in the brain
• The marrow which is in the spinal cord
• The two wide (yellow) nerves which are on both sides of the spinal cord, (as an obligatory precaution).
• Gall bladder
• Spleen
• Urinary bladder
• Eye balls

These parts are haraam in all halal animals other than the birds. As for the birds, their blood and excrement is definitely haraam, and apart from these two, the parts enumerated in the above list are haraam, as a measure of precaution.

2639. It is haraam to eat an absolutely harmful thing, or anything which may cause death.

2641. If the kid of a goat or a lamb sucks the milk of a female pig to such an extent that its flesh and bones grow from it and gain strength, itself and its offspring become haraam, and if the quantity of milk sucked by it is less, it will be necessary that it is confined (Istibra) as prescribed in Shariah and thereafter, it becomes halal.
And its Istibra is that it should suck Pak milk for seven days, or if it does not need milk, it should graze grass for seven days. As an obligatory precaution, this law applies to the calves, and all the young ones of halal animals. Also, it is haraam to eat the meat of an animal which eats najasat and it becomes halal when its Istibra is fulfilled. The manner of observing Istibra has been explained in rule 226.

2642. Drinking alcoholic beverage is haraam, and in some traditions (Ahadith), it has been declared as among the greatest sins. Imam Ja'far Sadiq (A.S.) says: "Alcohol is the root of all evils and sins. A person who drinks alcohol loses his sanity. At that time, he does not know Allah (swt), does not fear committing any sin, respects the rights of no one, and does not desist from committing evil openly. The spirit of faith and piety departs from him and only the impure and vicious spirit, which is far off from the Mercy of Allah (swt), remains in his body. Allah (swt), His angels, His prophets and the true believers curse such a man, and his daily prayers are not accepted for forty days. On the Day of Judgement his face will be dark, and his tongue will come out of his mouth, the saliva will fall on his chest and he will desperately complain of thirst".

2643. To eat at a table at which people are drinking alcohol is haraam and similarly, to sit at that table where people are drinking alcohol is haraam, as a precaution, if one would be reckoned among them.

2644. It is obligatory upon every Muslim to save the life of a Muslim, who may be dying of hunger or thirst, by providing him enough to eat or drink.

Eating manners

2645. There are certain Mustahab rules to be observed while taking a meal; they are as follows:

• Washing both the hands before taking a meal.
• After taking a meal, one should wash one's hands, and dry them with a dry cloth.
• The host should begin eating first, and should also be the last to withdraw his hand. Before starting to take a meal, the host should wash his own hands first, and thereafter, the person sitting on his right should do so. Then the other guests should follow him, till it is the turn of the person sitting on the left side of the host. After finishing the meal, the person sitting on the left side of the host should wash his hands first, and thereafter other persons should follow him till it is the turn of the host.
• One should say Bismillah before starting to eat, and if there are several dishes, it is Mustahab to say Bismillah before partaking of each of the dishes.
• One should eat with one's right hand.
• One should eat using three or more fingers and should not eat with two fingers only.
• If several persons are sitting together for their meals, everyone of them should partake of the food placed in front of him.
• One should take small bits of food.
• One should prolong the duration of taking a meal.
• One should chew the food thoroughly.
• After taking one's meal one should praise and thank Allah(swt).
• One should lick one's fingers clean after taking food.
• One should use a toothpick after taking a meal. However, the toothpick should not be made of sweet basil (a fragrant grass) or the leaves of date-palm.
• One should collect and eat the food which is scattered on the dining cloth. However, if one takes meal in an open place, like a desert etc, it is better to leave the food which has fallen aside, so that it may be eaten by the animals and the birds.
• One should take one's meal in the earlier part of the day, and in the earlier part of the night and should not eat during the day or during the night.
• After taking one's meal one should lie on one's back, and should place one's right foot on one's left foot.
• One should take salt before and after the meal.
• When eating a fruit, one should first wash it before eating.

There are many scientific proofs for the above rules on eating. In due course we hope to cover them on the science page Insha'Allah.

Some Quranic Ayats regarding Food and Drink

O you people, eat of what is on earth lawful and good, and do not follow the footsteps of Satan, for he is to you an avowed enemy. 2:168

O you who believe, eat of the good things that We have provided for you, and be grateful to God, if it is him you worship. 2:172

He has only forbidden you carrion, blood, the flesh of swine and that on which any other name has been invoked besides that of God. But if one is forced by necessity, without wilful disobedience or transgressing due limits, then is he guiltless. For God is Oft-forgiving Most Merciful. 2:173

Forbidden to you for food are: Carrion, blood, the flesh of swine and that on which has been invoked the name of other than God, that which has been killed by strangling, by violent blow, by a headlong fall or by being gored to death; that which has been partly eaten by a wild animal unless you are able to slaughter it (in due form), that which is sacrificed on stone (alters); (forbidden) also is the division (of meat) by raffling with arrows: that is impiety. this day have those who rejected faith given up all hope of your religion: So fear them not, but fear Me. This day have I perfected your religion for you, completed My favour upon you, and have chosen for you Islam as your religion. But if any is forced by hunger, with no inclination to transgression, God is indeed Oft-forgiving, Most Merciful. 5:3

They ask you what is lawful to them (as food) say: Lawful unto you are (all) things good and pure and what you have taught your trained hunting animals (to catch) in the manner directed to you by God; eat what they catch for you but pronounce the name of God over it; and fear God: For God is swift to account. 5:4

O you who believe: Make not unlawful the good things which God has made lawful for you but commit no excess for God love not those given to excess. 5:87

Eat of the things which God has provided for you, lawful and good; but fear God, in whom you believe. 5:88

So Eat of the (meat) on which God's name has been pronounced if you have faith in His Signs. 6:118

So eat of sustainance which God has provided for you lawful and good and be grateful for the favours of God if it is he whom you serve. 16:114

He has only forbidden you carrion and blood and the fesh of swine and any (food) over which the name of other than God has been invoked, but if one is forced by necessity without wilful disobedience nor transgressing due limits then God is Oft-forgiving, Most Merciful. 16:115

~A MUSLIM MAN'S LOVE ♥ LETTER~

If you love me, don’t confess your love to me through haraam ways,
This won’t please me and will instead drive me away!
Love games don’t attract me.
If you love me, have sabr and I will knock on your door when the time is right.

Don’t give me privileges which I don’t deserve.
Keep me away from you, and I will approach you.
If you approach me, I will stay away from you.
Don’t love me, for I want you ignorant in love.
I want to teach you love when the right time comes and when you will be mine,

Only when we are joined together under our Creator’s satisfaction

Don’t tell me what you feel, don’t give me from your time, don’t push me to lose you.
I am a man who does not want to see the one he loves committing sins or to live a forbidden love behind her family’s back.
I don’t want her to feel guilty and don’t want her heart to suffer.
Put me under limits that I won’t cross, kill me inside you so I won’t grow to kill you.

Preserve what is beautiful inside you.
I want you innocent, chaste, pure.
I want you my love, but with Allah’s blessings and not shaytan’s whisperings.
And then, Only then, I will face everything and will be ready to go through difficulties to get you,

Don’t be easy because then, I may not value you.
Don’t love me now, so I won’t hate you!
My heart wants you and doesn’t want to lose you.
I don’t want you to be just a passing fancy for me,
I want you a wife, a lover, the mother of my children,
I want you to be the one I will spend my whole life with.

How could I be a faithful man to you when I try to break your chastity?
How would I be faithful to you if I push you to betray your family?
How could I trust a love which grew under Allah’s wrath ?
To make you mine through niqah is Islam’s way,
Till then wait patiently and do not dismay.
To love you means to protect you,
To Love you is to bring you closer to Allah and HIS deen
To preserve you not to kill what is beautiful inside you. ♥ ♥ ♥

Ayatul Kursi (Holy Qur'an 2:255)

Qur'anic Treasures hidden in Ayatul Kursi 

(Holy Qur'an 2:255)

The Throne Verse (Arabic: آية الكرسي ‎ ʾāyatu-l-kursī), or Ayatul Kursi, is 255th verse (ayah) of the second chapter (sura) Al-Baqara. It is the most famous verse of the Qur'an and is widely memorized and displayed in the Islamic world due to its emphatic description of God's power over the entire universe.

While not all verses in the Quran carry a specific name, this one was given the name 'Ayat Al-Kursi' (Kursi: literally a footstool or chair, and sometimes translated as the Throne.) The Kursi mentioned in this Verse should be distinguished from the 'Arsh (Throne) mentioned in V 7:52, 10:3, 85:15 and elsewhere. The Prophet Muhammad(saw) said:

"The Kursi compared to the 'Arsh is nothing but like a ring thrown out upon open space of the desert." If the Kursi extends over the entire universe, then how much greater is the 'Arsh. It is narrated from Muhammad bin 'Abdullah and from other religious scholars that the Kursi is in front of the 'Arsh (Throne) and it is the at the level of the Feet."

Islamic religious belief holds that anyone who recites the verse enters the protection and security of God. Commonly, it is recited by Muslims 3 times before they go to sleep.

土耳其]奧斯曼．努日．托普巴希 著
財團法人台北文化清真寺   編印

我與今世的關係就好似一個旅行者，他在夏天旅行，在樹蔭下睡覺，醒來後繼續趕他的路。


關於星期一齋戒的事項：從先知的出生，到他從麥加遷徙到麥地那，再到他從這個世界跨入另一個世界，在安拉的王權下，所有這些事都發生在伊曆三月十二日，星期一。


Zhud：貧困、安貧。
Taqwa：自慎、謹防、虔誠、真主意識、敬畏真主。

對於今世而言，Zhud 既不是只把非法(haram)變為合法，也不是指放棄財富，
而是在痛苦的時候，托靠安拉，而不是自己，必冀希望於忍耐的回報。
Zhud是讓人們能夠不被短暫的世俗的快樂所蒙蔽，不讓今世占據心靈，
不舍安拉和他的先知而愛其他的，
通過對世俗快樂的過度向往而使心靈和肉體感受到幸福，
從而過上美好的生活。

安拉喜悅淡然今世的人，不渴望別人手裡東西的人會受人喜愛。


一個人的兩天保持相同，沒有進步的人他是吃虧的。
不要說將來可能是你後悔的話。


沒有比塞滿他的胃更危險的事情了。事實上，對一個人來說，吃上幾口就足以使他站立起來了。如果他必須多吃些，他應該讓自己的胃的三分之一用來盛食物，三分之一用來盛水，三分之一用來呼吸。這是關於吃和喝的中間路線。


一口一口的食物就像種子，它的果實是思想、想法和意圖。
遠離你心中所懷疑的事，做沒有疑問的事。


伊斯蘭的目的並不是用強行限制來使人們厭倦，而是通過努力修建內心，讓內心獲得平靜，
讓隱藏在心中的美麗事物都跳躍出來，從而讓人們獲得寧靜、幸福和穩定的生活。
而傾聽、感受先知(願主福安之)內心深處的純淨品行並以先知為榜樣是可以讓人們獲得內心的平靜的。


齋戒的價值在於它的目的，這是與私慾(Nafs)的鬥爭，是用持續的功修來對私慾進行控制。


朝覲的目的在於學習托靠真主(Tawakkul)：
依靠先知Ibraheem及Ismail(願主賜她們平安) 的主，用石頭砸內部的敵人(即私慾 nafs)；
通過穿戒衣去除等級之間的差別，在造物主那裏尋求庇護；
通過對復甦日的了解而感到恐懼；
以及把來自不同地方的穆斯林聚集在一起，並建立起兄弟般的情誼。
朝覲時的行為和思想狀態讓人們能夠自我反省，由此所獲得的良好精神狀態會影響到他們未來的生活。
所有這些行為的目的都是為了更加靠近至高無上的安拉。
麥加朝聖是全面的禮拜，是引領人們完美信仰的階段。
麥加朝聖能使人們的心靈重新獲得寧靜，
重新回復到最初的氛圍、色彩，和定位當中。
精神上得到了祝福，靈魂得到了淨化，
心因此而觸摸到了真理。


施捨首先到達安拉的手裡，然後才到達窮人的手裡。
一天是吃飽的，一天是飢餓的。


紀念(Zikar)：如果心裡掌握了紀念的實質，心就會了解、崇拜安拉。
愛從來不會忘記自己所熱愛的，
愛會把自己所愛的保留在心裡，
保留在唇齒之間。
渴望過誠實生活的心不斷地紀念，
當他們站著、坐著躺著時，
他們陷於對安拉所創造的天和地的思索當中。


不要過份膨脹你的期望和對未來的計畫，以致你忘記死亡！
如果那樣，你的心會變硬！
睜開雙眼吧，看看什麼正在向你走來，
那向你走來的近在咫尺！


現在，我們正在從一場小戰役進入到一場大戰役......
與自我主義的戰爭是透過教育和培養心靈來進行的。
這場戰役的目的是提高人們的道德水平，
幫助人們趨於完美，成為完美的人。


如果人們不能發現創造今世的動機，今世就會吞沒他；
如果不了解人為什麼來到今世，
他就會對人的精神的構造一無所知。
人們即不會理解創造人類的神聖目的，
也不會理解在地球上做安拉的代理人的意義是什麼。
但是，那些努力在地球上成為安拉的代理人的人將成為主的眼睛，主的耳朵，
他們的生命的目的就是與安拉聯繫在一起。


必須先考慮到人們的心理狀態，然後才可能發現通往心靈的路。


為了達到心靈的完美，人生無論在何種狀態下都應該感激和忍耐。
