Usually, at least three to four people will be involved with the actual ghusl (washing and shrouding).</i><br /> <i>The persons who may wash the deceased should include :</i><br /> <i>1. An adult Muslim, honest and trustworthy person.</i><br /> 2. Be of the same gender as the deceased i.e if the deceased is male, then ONLY males should wash him. For a child, either males or females may do the ghusl once he/she knows the Islamic way of washing the deceased and be able to carry out the ghusl.<br /> A husband can wash his deceased wife and vice versa. A son can neither wash his mum, nor can a daughter wash her dad.<br /> <b>PLACE OF WASHing:</b><br /> The body of the deceased should be washed with water and, if available, lotus leaves, or camphor (to be used in the final wash).<br /> The steps of the washing should be done at least three times or any more odd number of times as necessary to cleanse.<br /> Always be mindful of infection control and protecting the person performing the Ghusl.<br /> <b><br /></b> <script async src="//pagead2.googlesyndication.com/pagead/js/adsbygoogle.js"></script> <ins class="adsbygoogle" style="display:block" data-ad-format="fluid" data-ad-layout-key="-he-m-4-6a+k0" data-ad-client="ca-pub-4724775541353443" data-ad-slot="4277742893"></ins> <script> (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); </script> <b>STEPS OF WASHING:</b><br /> Privacy for the deceased is a crucial and important requirement at all times during the ghusl.<br /> The body of the deceased should be placed on a table or alike, the deceased’s clothes should be removed , and the body should be covered with a sheet of cloth at all times during the ghusl; the Auwra (private parts) of the deceased should be covered with a sheet of cloth (The aura of a male is from the belly button to the knee in the presence of males, for the female, it is the same in the presence of females). The head and the upper body should be raised slightly to ensure the washing water with exudations from the body flows down and does not run back to the body. Remove any items or objects not already removed like watches, hospital or mortuary ID tags, wound dressings, IV lines, peg tubes, artificial limbs etc.<br /> If there is any active bleeding or wound discharge, then that may be padded and dressed.<br /> The washer should start washing by saying: "Bismillah" (In the name of Allah) The washer wears gloves or winds a piece of cloth around his hand, and with this, he cleans away any impurities from the body using water. Then he should dispose of the gloves. The washer should take another pair of gloves, press lightly the stomach of the deceased so as to expel, if possible, any remnants from it, and then wash the body of all impurities using water. Then he should dispose of the gloves. The washer should take another pair of gloves and wash the covered private parts, then dispose of the gloves. The washer should perform wudhu (ablution) for the deceased without inserting the water in the nose and in the mouth. He or she may use a piece of wet cotton wool in a small roll to clean the nose and front teeth of the deceased.<br /> The washer should clean the body with water and soap (if available), starting from the head (hair, face and beard in men), then the upper right side of the body, then the left side, after that the lower right side then the lower left.<br /> <i>I</i>n the case of a female, her hair should be loosened, washed, combed, and be braided in three braids, and placed behind her back.<br /> The washing should be done three times, or five times, or seven times, as needed, providing that after washing the head, wash the right side before the left, and the upper parts before the lower ones in the last wash. The washer may use camphor, or some perfume with the water. After that, the body should be dried with clean towel then the body should be covered with a clean sheet. The auwra must be kept covered at all times.<br /> Get ready to start the shrouding.<br /> <b>SPECIAL NOTE</b>:<br /> In case the deceased is a female in her menstrual period or have child birth bleeding, padding should be used to prevent blood from leaving the body.<br /> May Allah forgive the Muslims that had died and the living ones. Whomever Allah makes to live among us, may it be on Islam and whomever He takes his/her life, may it be on "eeman"Ameen.<br /> <br /> <b>Have you found this post useful or inspiring?

He wasfrom Nubia.”</i><br /> <i>Yahia Ibn Sa’ id Al-Ansari said after Sa’ id Ibn Al-Musayib that Luqman belonged to the black men of Egypt. He had thick lips and Allah the Almighty granted him wisdom but not prophethood.</i><br /> <i>‘Umar Ibn Qais and Al-A’mash narrated after Mujahid: Luqman was a huge black slave, thick lipped. While he was preaching a man who used to know him saw him and said: “Aren’t you the slave of so and so who used to look after my sheep not so long in the past?” Luqman said: “Yes!” The man said: “What raised you to this high state I see?” Luqman said: “The Divine Decree, repaying the trust, telling the truth and discarding and keeping silent regarding what does not concern me.” (This Hadith was narrated by Ibn Jarir after lbn Hamid after Al-Hakam.).</i><br /> <i>Ibn Wahb narrates that Luqman’s answer to the question about what had raised his status that people came to him for advice his answer was: “Lowering my gaze, watching my tongue, eating what is lawful, keeping my chastity, undertaking my promises, fulfilling my commitments, being hospitable to guests, respecting my neighbors, and discarding what does not concern me. All these made me the one you are looking at.” Abu Ad-Darda’ added that Luqman the wise was granted wisdom because he was self-restrained, silent, deep-thinking, and he never slept during the day. No one had ever seen him observing foolishly laughing.<br /> He was very eloquent and well-versed or knowledgeable. He did not weep or cry when all his children died. He even used to frequent the princes and men of authority to mediate.</i><br /> <i>The majority of scholars are of the view that he was a wise man and not a prophet. Moreover, he was mentioned in the Glorious Qur’an and was highly praised by Allah S.W.A Who narrates his advice to his own son in which the first act that he forbids is Shirk (joining others with Allah S.W.A.)<br /> The Prophet Muhammad(S.A.W.) also referred to Luqman’s saying this to his son, where Allah S.W.A said;</i><br /> <i>وَإِذۡ قَالَ لُقۡمَـٰنُ لِٱبۡنِهِۦ وَهُوَ يَعِظُهُ ۥ يَـٰبُنَىَّ لَا تُشۡرِكۡ بِٱللَّهِ‌ ۖ إِنَّ ٱلشِّرۡكَ لَظُلۡمٌ عَظِيمٌ And (remember) when Luqman said unto his son, when he was exhorting him: O my dear son! Ascribe no partners unto Allah. Lo! to ascribe partners (unto Him) is a tremendous wrong -.(Luqman, 31:13).</i><br /> <i>The next advice that Luqman gives to his son and to mankind is taking care of parents. He states their rights over the children and tells the children to be kind to their parents even if they were nonbelievers. However, it is clarified that they should not be obeyed if they are inviting to disbelief in Allah S.W.A</i><br /> <i>This is followed by: </i><br /> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi2doT6NFXCDnRhtsGn76hz3B2hiEglD8rWS28xJFFwJ8oOhWrGtYceAbJzLMiYDg_agjxr0UjVgszRLrx79YF4mkagLfDLceIMuICS7fjrpqnCzjn5RKMQZpg1VbGhH-3VgaCoxEM2KfUN/s1600/hqdefault_2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="102" data-original-width="157" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi2doT6NFXCDnRhtsGn76hz3B2hiEglD8rWS28xJFFwJ8oOhWrGtYceAbJzLMiYDg_agjxr0UjVgszRLrx79YF4mkagLfDLceIMuICS7fjrpqnCzjn5RKMQZpg1VbGhH-3VgaCoxEM2KfUN/s1600/hqdefault_2.jpg" /></a></div> <i>“ O my son! If it be (anything) equal to the weight of a grain of mustard seed, and though it be in a rock, or in the heavens or in the earth, Allah S.W.A will bring it forth. Verily, Allah S.W.A is Subtle (in bringing out that grain), Well-Aware (of its place),” i.e., he forbids wrong to the people even in the slightest way, for Allah S.W.A will bring it forth and bring him to account on the Day of kiyamah (Resurrection).<br /> Luqman’s further advice to his son is : “O my son! perform As- Salat, enjoin (on people) Islamic Monotheism and all that is good and forbid (people) from disbelief in the Oneness of Allah, polytheists of all kinds and all that is evil and bad,i.e., with your hand, with your tongue and if you could not, let it be with your heart (i.e. reject and resent it). Then, he advised him to observe sobr (patience), he further said: “ and bear with patience whatever befalls you,” for the enjoining of what is good and forbidding the evil, will probably earn enmity from those who resent being corrected (but, the final reward form Allah S W A would surely be his). “ Verily, these are some of the important commandments (ordered by Allah with no exemption).”</i><br /> <i>Luqman warns his son against the sin of pride: “ And turn not your face away from men with pride,” cautioning against being showy or arrogant. Further, the advice regarding one’s bearing is: “ nor walk in insolence through the earth. Verily, Allah S.W.A likes not any arrogant boaster.”<br /> Luqman then advises his son to be moderate in his walking: “And be moderate in your walking, and lower your voice,” i.e., if you talk, do not raise your voice very loudly because the braying of the donkey is the harshest of all voices.</i><br /> <i>Abu Hurairah (May Allah be pleased with him) narrated: The Prophet (S.A.W)said: “When you hear the crowing of cocks, ask for Allah’s Blessings for (their crowing indicates that) they have seen an angel. And when you hear the braying of donkeys, seek refuge with Allah from Satan for (their braying indicates) that they have seen a Satan” (transmitted by Imam Al-Bukhari in his Sahih).</i><br /> <i>Other advice given by Luqman has been mentioned in a book titled <b>Hikmat Luqman (Luqman’s Wisdom). </b>From this valuable book, we get the following:<br /> “On my son! Verily, wisdom has brought the indigent to the courts of kings” (narrated by Damurah after As- Sariy Ibn Yahia).</i><br /> <i>“O my son! If you come to a people’s setting, greet them with (saying As-Salamu ‘Alaikum (Peace be with you)), then, take a side and do not utter a word till they speak. If you find them observing the Remembrance of Allah, join them.</i><br /> <i>But, if they observe anything else, turn away from them and seek others (who remember Allah S.W.A)” (narrated by ‘Abdah lbn Sulaiman after Ibn Al-Mubarak after ‘Abdur Rahman Al-Mas’ udi after ‘Aun Ibn ‘Abdullah).</i><br /> <i>“O my son! Take Allah’s Obedience as your trade, and you will gain profits without having any merchandises” (narrated by Saiyar after Ja’far after Malik Ibn Dinar). “O my son! Fear Allah and do not let the people notice that you fear Him to gain honor (from them) while your heart is sinful” (narrated by Abul Ashhab after Muhammad Ibn Wasi’). “O my son! I have never regretted keeping silent. If words are silver, silence is golden” (told by Hasan after Al-Junaid after Sufyan).</i><br /> <i>“O my son! Stay away from evil and it will stay away from you, for evil begets nothing but evil” (told by ‘Abdul Samad and Waki’ after Abul Ashhab after Qatadah).</i><br /> <i>“O my son! Choose between gatherings (of people) precisely! If you find a gathering in which Allah is mentioned, sit yourself with them. Thus, if you are knowledgeable, your knowledge will benefit you; but, if you are ignorant, they will teach you; and if Allah wishes to do them good, you will be benefited therewith.</i><br /> <i>O my son! Do not sit in a gathering in which Allah is not mentioned because if you are knowledgeable, your knowledge will not benefit you; and if you are ignorant, they will add to your ignorance; and if Allah S.W.A wishes to afflict them with harm, you will be afflicted with them.</i><br /> <i>O my son! Do not rejoice at seeing a strong man who sheds the blood of the faithful, for Allah appoints for him a killer that does not ever die” (narrated by Imam Ahmed after ‘Abdur Rahman Ibn Mahdi after Nafi’ Ibn ‘Umar after Ibn Abu Malikah after ‘Ubaid Ibn ‘Umair).</i><br /> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> <i><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhM1hFZaWnWVnE4_QP_283K8fOyaQXcsX1Vq1fVhB55hjBsG9pZETWbP8TozeDxsTPtZ5F-GKa4Hn0WlNl-l1nGhzsRL1k72Jhz_rO4h_MVf8cvoxOmF_sbc_PY3j84IHqvAKGvvc7a2SxK/s1600/main-qimg-0f237b61f45b6bb80da77a92964e9a94-c.jpeg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="151" data-original-width="225" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhM1hFZaWnWVnE4_QP_283K8fOyaQXcsX1Vq1fVhB55hjBsG9pZETWbP8TozeDxsTPtZ5F-GKa4Hn0WlNl-l1nGhzsRL1k72Jhz_rO4h_MVf8cvoxOmF_sbc_PY3j84IHqvAKGvvc7a2SxK/s1600/main-qimg-0f237b61f45b6bb80da77a92964e9a94-c.jpeg" /></a></i></div> <br /> <i>“O my son: Let your speech be good and your face be smiling; you will be more loved by the people than those who give them provisions.” And, he said: “It is stated in the wisdom of the Torah: “Kindness is the head of wisdom.” And, he said: “It is stated in the Torah: “As you show mercy (to others), mercy will be shown to you.” And, he said: “It is stated in the wisdom: “You will gain what you give (or, harvest what you grow).” And, he said: “It is stated in the wisdom: “Love your friend and the friend of your father” (narrated by Abu Mu’awiyah after Hisham Ibn ‘Urwah).</i><br /> <i>Luqman advised his son not to befriend a fool for it might give him the impression that his foolishness is being approved of; and not to anger a wise man for he might distance himself (narrated by Dawud Ibn Rashid after Ibn Al-Mubarak after Mu’amir after Abu ‘Uthman).</i><br /> <i>Luqman was once asked: “Who is the best one in terms of patience?” He said: “It is the one who practices no harm after observing patience.” Then he was asked: “Who is the best one in terms of knowledge?” He said : “It is he who adds to his own knowledge through the knowledge of others. ” When asked: “Who is the best from among the whole people?” he said: “It is the wealthy.” They said: “Is it the one who has properties and riches?” He said: “No! But, it is the one who is generous in doing good when others seek it from him, and, it is the one who does not need anything from others”( narrated by Abdur Razzaq after Mu’amir after Ayyub after Abu Qulabah).</i><br /> <i>Yazid Ibn Hamn and Waki’ told us after Abul AShhab about Khalid Ar- Rab’i as saying: “Luqman was an Ethiopian slave who worked as a carpenter. One day, his master ordered him to slaughter a goat and bring him the most nice and delicious two parts from it. Luqman brought him the tongue and heart. The master asked: “Didn’t you find anything more nice than these?” Luqman said: “No!” After a while, the master ordered him to slaughter a goat and to throw away two of the most malignant parts. Luqman slaughtered the goat and threw away the tongue and heart. The master exclaimed and said: “I ordered you to bring me the most delicious parts and you brought me the tongue and heart, and I ordered you to throw away the most malignant parts and you threw away the tongue and heart, how can this be?” Luqman said: “Nothing can be more pleasing than these if they are good and nothing can be more malicious than these if they are malignant.”</i><br /> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> <i><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjL8dsAnROTt4z9Z8UEKWPEkzLxjF8jkafBjM4dDV-anfmyotmKJDEepa4OW40ydtU9Sby7hM-0mumAvfGr5krw9pYrfWHc0y8X5QLH1RhEgi-neBRxHdju6a8nyHsszUuoAuPMB_SBQA-r/s1600/images.jpeg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="84" data-original-width="150" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjL8dsAnROTt4z9Z8UEKWPEkzLxjF8jkafBjM4dDV-anfmyotmKJDEepa4OW40ydtU9Sby7hM-0mumAvfGr5krw9pYrfWHc0y8X5QLH1RhEgi-neBRxHdju6a8nyHsszUuoAuPMB_SBQA-r/s1600/images.jpeg" /></a></i></div> <br /> <i>Dawud Ibn Usaid told us after Isma’il Ibn ‘Ayyash after Damdam Ibn Zar’ah after Shuraih Ibn ‘Ubaid Al-Hadrami after ‘Abdullah Ibn Zaid: Luqman said: “Verily, Allah’s Hand is on the mouths of wise men; none of them speaks but with what Allah S.W.A assigned for him.”</i><br /> <i>Abdur Razzaq told us after Mu’amir after Ayyub after Abu Qulabah that according to Sufyan Ibn ‘Uyaynah, Luqman was asked: ‘Who is the worst of all people?” He replied : “It is the one who does not feel shame if found committing a sinful deed.”</i><br /> <i>Abu As-Samad reported to us that Malik Ibn Dianr said: I found some pieces of-wisdom as follows: “Allah Almighty scatters and wastes the bones of those who give religious opinions that go with the people’s lusts and desires.” And, “There is no good for you that you learn something new while you do not practice what you have learned previously.

See Qur'an 2:278-282 as we have mentioned earlier.<br /> The prophet Muhammad may peace be with him said; while he was underlined of journey ascendant to heaven he said he saw something written in door of heaven, sadaqar has ten(10) reward and loan has (18) reward he said he ask the angel jibril how comes the loan is given more reward than sadaqar the angel replied him the begger who ask has already has something the person who ask for loan he is in need of it.<br /> <br /> <li>2- it favour the rich against the poor.</li> <li>3- effect on production.</li> <li>4- effect in the economy.</li> <li>5- social political Congress and insecurity in the society.</li> All these ingredients has been found in our community today across the globe may Allah subhanawo watalah safeguard us and protect us from engaging into usury.

They even go along way to claim that the half of Sha'baan has some virtues over other days using the verses of the Qur'an to support their fallacy. <br /> The verse I've read and heard them used as their proof is Verse 3-4 Surah Ad-Dukhan Allah Ta'alaa said: "Surely We revealed it on a blessed night surely We are ever warning-- Therein every wise affair is made distinct."<br /> They claim that the "blessed night" mentioned in the verse is referring to laylatu nisfu Sha'baan. This is not true and it is not in-line with the understanding of the majority of the salaf (the pious predecessors). The "blessed night" is laylatul Qadr (Night of Power) as Allah said: Verse 1:Surah Al-Qadr "Surely We revealed it on the grand night." This is also because it is unanimously agreed that the revelation of the Glorious Qur'an started on laylatul Qadr. (Tafseerul Qurtubi)<br /> Therefore, the night referred to in this verse of Saratu Dukhaan is laylatul Qadr not Nisfu Sha'baan. This is the view of Qataadah, Ibn Zaid and some other scholars. <br /> Ibn Katheer said:"...and whoever claims that the blessed night is nisfu Sha'baan just as it reported from Ikrimah has made a great mistake.. " Ibn Katheer went further to clarify a weak Hadith on that respect.<br /> May Allah be our guide. Ameen.<br /> Have you found this post useful or inspiring?

There's no doubt, Ramadan is fast knocking on our doors, thus, we beseech Allaah(SWT) to preserve us in faith and health till then, ameen.</dr><br /> I know you are aware of what Ramadan comes with; its virtues and opportunities. Hence, I admonish you and myself on the following:<br /> <b>1. Repay your missed fasts,</b> don't be in the league of those seeking fatwa when others are seeking the new moon. <br /> <b>2.Try and perfect your recitations;</b> will you be missing the great rewards of reciting the Quran in this year's Ramadan because of the difficulty you encounter in recitation? There's time, go and meet your Imam, Mallam, Alfa.. rectify those "crackings". May Allaah make it easy. <br /> <b>3.Go for a medical check up and treat your ailments, </b>may Allaah heal you. You may repay fast if missed but what's better than fasting Ramadan in the blessed month itself? <br /> <b>4.Go and do muraja(revision); </b>yes! you've memorized 1,2,3...30 juz from the Quran. Will you be holding mushaf to perform qiyamulayl?? <br /> <b>5.Get used to tahajud..... Long one,</b> don't be in the first 3 taraweeh league.<br /> <b>6. Start saving up:</b> if feeding yourself and your family may be difficult, you still have time to put things together and 'hussle'too. <br /> <b>7. Learn more about Ramadan:</b> Yes, there will be many seatings of knowledge in Ramadan but you need to attend before it. Plus, ask questions about unclear or unknown rulings. You can't afford to waste your effort. May Allaah accept it.<br /> <b>8. Don't be a glutton: </b>you know you can't do without eating an hour. Ramadan is at your door, be disciplined!<br /> <b>9. AVOID ALCOHOL : </b>it's a sin yesterday, today and tomorrow, not only in Ramadan. It's the mother of sins and renders your 40 days solah useless. Imagine! Someone sips a cup of alcohol on 21st of sha'ban.... Alcohol ingestion is evil.. Avoid it!!!!!!!!<br /> <b>10. Sharing of this Article . . .</b><br /> Please share this. <br /> May Allaah preserve us till the month of Ramadan. May He strengthen us to be able to perform as many deeds in the Holy Month and afterwards and reward us from His mercies, Ameen.<br /> Have you found this post useful or inspiring?

Likewise, it is clear to us that fasting holds a number of healthful advantages except for the invalid even if the fasting person experiences some strain due to it.<br /> Allah suhanawo wataallah said:<br /> إِنَّ ٱلۡمُسۡلِمِينَ وَٱلۡمُسۡلِمَـٰتِ وَٱلۡمُؤۡمِنِينَ وَٱلۡمُؤۡمِنَـٰتِ وَٱلۡقَـٰنِتِينَ وَٱلۡقَـٰنِتَـٰتِ وَٱلصَّـٰدِقِينَ وَٱلصَّـٰدِقَـٰتِ وَٱلصَّـٰبِرِينَ وَٱلصَّـٰبِرَٲتِ وَٱلۡخَـٰشِعِينَ وَٱلۡخَـٰشِعَـٰتِ وَٱلۡمُتَصَدِّقِينَ وَٱلۡمُتَصَدِّقَـٰتِ وَٱلصَّـٰٓٮِٕمِينَ وَٱلصَّـٰٓٮِٕمَـٰتِ وَٱلۡحَـٰفِظِينَ فُرُوجَهُمۡ وَٱلۡحَـٰفِظَـٰتِ وَٱلذَّٲڪِرِينَ ٱللَّهَ كَثِيرًا وَٱلذَّٲڪِرَٲتِ أَعَدَّ ٱللَّهُ لَهُم مَّغۡفِرَةً وَأَجۡرًا عَظِيمًا Lo! men who surrender unto Allah, and women who surrender, and men who believe and women who believe, and men who obey and women who obey, and men who speak the truth and women who speak the truth, and men who persevere (in righteousness) and women who persevere, and men who are humble and women who are humble, and men who give alms and women who give alms, and men who fast and women who fast, and men who guard their modesty and women who guard (their modesty), and men who remember Allah much and women who remember - Allah hath prepared for them forgiveness and a vast reward.Q-33:35<br /> <b>Secondly: the clear varses from the book of Allah</b> Which spreak of fasting as an atonement for things such as shaving the head while in a state of ihram, when one is permitted to do so, due to illness or some harm to the head, because of this inability to provide a sacrificial animal, killing a person by mistake who is protected by a treaty, breaking one's oath, killing game while in while in a state of ihram and ziharah.<br /> Allay subhawo wataala said:<br /> وَأَتِمُّواْ ٱلۡحَجَّ وَٱلۡعُمۡرَةَ لِلَّهِ ۚ فَإِنۡ أُحۡصِرۡتُمۡ فَمَا ٱسۡتَيۡسَرَ مِنَ ٱلۡهَدۡىِ‌ ۖ وَلَا تَحۡلِقُواْ رُءُوسَكُمۡ حَتَّىٰ يَبۡلُغَ ٱلۡهَدۡىُ مَحِلَّهُ ۥ ۚ فَمَن كَانَ مِنكُم مَّرِيضًا أَوۡ بِهِۦۤ أَذًى مِّن رَّأۡسِهِۦ فَفِدۡيَةٌ مِّن صِيَامٍ أَوۡ صَدَقَةٍ أَوۡ نُسُكٍ ۚ فَإِذَآ أَمِنتُمۡ فَمَن تَمَتَّعَ بِٱلۡعُمۡرَةِ إِلَى ٱلۡحَجِّ فَمَا ٱسۡتَيۡسَرَ مِنَ ٱلۡهَدۡىِ ۚ فَمَن لَّمۡ يَجِدۡ فَصِيَامُ ثَلَـٰثَةِ أَيَّامٍ فِى ٱلۡحَجِّ وَسَبۡعَةٍ إِذَا رَجَعۡتُمۡ ۗ تِلۡكَ عَشَرَةٌ كَامِلَةٌ ۗ ذَٲلِكَ لِمَن لَّمۡ يَكُنۡ أَهۡلُهُ ۥ حَاضِرِى ٱلۡمَسۡجِدِ ٱلۡحَرَامِ ۚ وَٱتَّقُواْ ٱللَّهَ وَٱعۡلَمُوٓاْ أَنَّ ٱللَّهَ شَدِيدُ ٱلۡعِقَابِ Perform the pilgrimage and the visit (to Makka) for Allah. And if ye are prevented, then send such gifts as can be obtained with ease, and shave not your heads until the gifts have reached their destination. And whoever among you is sick or hath an ailment of the head must pay a ransom of fasting or almsgiving or offering. And if ye are in safety, then whosoever contenteth himself with the visit for the pilgrimage (shall give) such gifts as can be had with ease. And whosoever cannot find (such gifts), then a fast of three days while on the pilgrimage, and of seven when ye have returned; that is, ten in all. That is for him whoso folk are not present at the Inviolable Place of Worship. Observe your duty to Allah, and know that Allah is severe in punishment.Q-2:196<br /> And also Allah the most high said: <br /> وَمَا كَانَ لِمُؤۡمِنٍ أَن يَقۡتُلَ مُؤۡمِنًا إِلَّا خَطَـًٔا ۚ وَمَن قَتَلَ مُؤۡمِنًا خَطَـًٔا فَتَحۡرِيرُ رَقَبَةٍ مُّؤۡمِنَةٍ وَدِيَةٌ مُّسَلَّمَةٌ إِلَىٰٓ أَهۡلِهِۦۤ إِلَّآ أَن يَصَّدَّقُواْ ۚ فَإِن كَانَ مِن قَوۡمٍ عَدُوٍّ لَّكُمۡ وَهُوَ مُؤۡمِنٌ فَتَحۡرِيرُ رَقَبَةٍ مُّؤۡمِنَةٍ‌ ۖ وَإِن ڪَانَ مِن قَوۡمِۭ بَيۡنَڪُمۡ وَبَيۡنَهُم مِّيثَـٰقٌ فَدِيَةٌ مُّسَلَّمَةٌ إِلَىٰٓ أَهۡلِهِۦ وَتَحۡرِيرُ رَقَبَةٍ مُّؤۡمِنَةٍ‌ ۖ فَمَن لَّمۡ يَجِدۡ فَصِيَامُ شَهۡرَيۡنِ مُتَتَابِعَيۡنِ تَوۡبَةً مِّنَ ٱللَّهِ ۗ وَكَانَ ٱللَّهُ عَلِيمًا حَڪِيمًا It is not for a believer to kill a believer unless (it be) by mistake. He who hath killed a believer by mistake must set free a believing slave, and pay the blood-money to the family of the slain, unless they remit it as a charity. If he (the victim) be of a people hostile unto you, and he is a believer, then (the penance is) to set free a believing slave. And if he cometh of a folk between whom and you there is a covenant, then the blood-money must be paid unto his folk and (also) a believing slave must be set free. And whoso hath not the wherewithal must fast two consecutive months. A penance from Allah. Allah is Knower, Wise.

The expiation thereof is the feeding of ten of the needy with the average of that wherewith ye feed your own folk, or the clothing of them, or the liberation of a slave, and for him who findeth not (the wherewithal to do so) then a three days' fast. This is the expiation of your oaths when ye have sworn; and keep your oaths. Thus Allah expoundeth unto you His revelations in order that ye may give thanks.Q-5:89<br /> And he the must high said: <br /> يَـٰٓأَيُّہَا ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُواْ لَا تَقۡتُلُواْ ٱلصَّيۡدَ وَأَنتُمۡ حُرُمٌ ۚ وَمَن قَتَلَهُ ۥ مِنكُم مُّتَعَمِّدًا فَجَزَآءٌ مِّثۡلُ مَا قَتَلَ مِنَ ٱلنَّعَمِ يَحۡكُمُ بِهِۦ ذَوَا عَدۡلٍ مِّنكُمۡ هَدۡيَۢا بَـٰلِغَ ٱلۡكَعۡبَةِ أَوۡ كَفَّـٰرَةٌ طَعَامُ مَسَـٰكِينَ أَوۡ عَدۡلُ ذَٲلِكَ صِيَامًا لِّيَذُوقَ وَبَالَ أَمۡرِهِۦ ۗ عَفَا ٱللَّهُ عَمَّا سَلَفَ ۚ وَمَنۡ عَادَ فَيَنتَقِمُ ٱللَّهُ مِنۡهُ ۗ وَٱللَّهُ عَزِيزٌ ذُو ٱنتِقَامٍ O ye who believe! Kill no wild game while ye are on the pilgrimage. Whoso of you killeth it of set purpose he shall pay its forfeit in the equivalent of that which he hath killed, of domestic animals, the judge to be two men among you known for justice, (the forfeit) to be brought as an offering to the Ka'bah; or, for expiation, he shall feed poor persons, or the equivalent thereof in fasting, that he may taste the evil consequences of his deed. Allah forgiveth whatever (of this kind) may have happened in the past, but whoso relapseth, Allah will take retribution from him. Allah is Mighty, Able to Requite (the wrong).Q-5:95<br /> And he must high says:<br /> ٱلَّذِينَ يُظَـٰهِرُونَ مِنكُم مِّن نِّسَآٮِٕهِم مَّا هُنَّ أُمَّهَـٰتِهِمۡ‌ ۖ إِنۡ أُمَّهَـٰتُهُمۡ إِلَّا ٱلَّـٰٓـِٔى وَلَدۡنَهُمۡ ۚ وَإِنَّہُمۡ لَيَقُولُونَ مُنڪَرًا مِّنَ ٱلۡقَوۡلِ وَزُورًا ۚ وَإِنَّ ٱللَّهَ لَعَفُوٌّ غَفُورٌ Such of you as put away your wives (by saying they are as their mothers) - They are not their mothers; none are their mothers except those who gave them birth - they indeed utter an ill word and a lie. And lo! Allah is Forgiving, Merciful.<br /> <b>Thirdly: fasting and the Qur'an will intercede for the one who fasts and recites the Qur'an</b><br /> It is reported on the authority of 'Abdullah ibn 'Amr ibn Al-As may Allah be please with him that the messenger of Allah may peace and blessing of Allah be upon him said:<br /> "Fasting and Qur'an intercede for the slave on the day of judgment, saying: 'O, Lord! I prevented him from food and from desires during the day, so make me an intercessor for him.' And the Qur'an will say: ' I prevented him sleeping at night, so make me an intercessor for him. ' He may Allah peace be upon him added: "Then Allah will grant grant them intercession."<br /> This is an authentic hadith.

The linguist meaning of sawm Is to totally abstain from something, as in the following peotic verses:<br /> " Horses which hold back and horses which do not hold back Beneath the dust( of battle), which others are chomping at the bit."<br /> This was said by An-Nabighah Az-Zubyani in his 'Deewan'(112).<br /> ( Translators note: His real name was Ziyad ibn mu'awiyah a poet)<br /> <b> The juristic meaning of sawm:</b> Refraining from eating, drinking and sexual intercourse, along with the intention to do so, from dawn until sunset.<br /> Some Qur'anic commentator have said that two kinds of sawn are mentioning in Qur'an:<br /> The first is the juristic type of sawm which is known as in the words of Allah the most high said:<br /> يَـٰٓأَيُّهَا ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُواْ كُتِبَ عَلَيۡڪُمُ ٱلصِّيَامُ كَمَا كُتِبَ عَلَى ٱلَّذِينَ مِن قَبۡلِڪُمۡ لَعَلَّكُمۡ تَتَّقُونَ O ye who believe! Fasting is prescribed for you, even as it was prescribed for those before you, that ye may ward off (evil);Q-2:183<br /> also in another verse Allah the most high said:<br /> شَہۡرُ رَمَضَانَ ٱلَّذِىٓ أُنزِلَ فِيهِ ٱلۡقُرۡءَانُ هُدًى لِّلنَّاسِ وَبَيِّنَـٰتٍ مِّنَ ٱلۡهُدَىٰ وَٱلۡفُرۡقَانِ ۚ فَمَن شَہِدَ مِنكُمُ ٱلشَّہۡرَ فَلۡيَصُمۡهُ‌ ۖ وَمَن ڪَانَ مَرِيضًا أَوۡ عَلَىٰ سَفَرٍ فَعِدَّةٌ مِّنۡ أَيَّامٍ أُخَرَ ۗ يُرِيدُ ٱللَّهُ بِڪُمُ ٱلۡيُسۡرَ وَلَا يُرِيدُ بِڪُمُ ٱلۡعُسۡرَ وَلِتُڪۡمِلُواْ ٱلۡعِدَّةَ وَلِتُڪَبِّرُواْ ٱللَّهَ عَلَىٰ مَا هَدَٮٰكُمۡ وَلَعَلَّڪُمۡ تَشۡكُرُونَ The month of Ramadan in which was revealed the Qur'an, a guidance for mankind, and clear proofs of the guidance, and the Criterion (of right and wrong). And whosoever of you is present, let him fast the month, and whosoever of you is sick or on a journey, (let him fast the same) number of other days. Allah desireth for you ease; He desireth not hardship for you; and (He desireth) that ye should complete the period, and that ye should magnify Allah for having guided you, and that peradventure ye may be thankful. Q-2:185<br /> The second is silence as in the words of Allah, the most high:<br /> فَكُلِى وَٱشۡرَبِى وَقَرِّى عَيۡنًا‌ ۖ فَإِمَّا تَرَيِنَّ مِنَ ٱلۡبَشَرِ أَحَدًا فَقُولِىٓ إِنِّى نَذَرۡتُ لِلرَّحۡمَـٰنِ صَوۡمًا فَلَنۡ أُڪَلِّمَ ٱلۡيَوۡمَ إِنسِيًّا So eat and drink and be consoled. And if thou meetest any mortal, say: Lo! I have vowed a fast unto the Beneficent, and may not speak this day to any mortal. Q-19:26<br /> <b>there is nothing disliked in a person saying"</b><br /> ramadhan has come and ramadhan has gone ,"according to the majority Muslim scholars, based upon the hadith of Abu hurairah may Allah be pleased with him Who reported that the messager Of Allah may peace be upon him said.<br /> When the month of ramadhan come,the gates of paradise are opened,the gates of hell are closed and the devils are chained up"<br /> Narrated by Al-bukahri in (no.1899) and Muslim (no.1079).<br /> <script async src="//pagead2.googlesyndication.com/pagead/js/adsbygoogle.js"></script> <ins class="adsbygoogle" style="display:block" data-ad-format="fluid" data-ad-layout-key="-he-m-4-6a+k0" data-ad-client="ca-pub-4724775541353443" data-ad-slot="4277742893"></ins> <script> (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); </script> This is an authentic hadith. It is also because saying that something is dislike must be substantiated by a legal prohibition of it and there is no such confirmation in the Islamic law. As for the hadith Abu hurairah may Allah be pleased with him in which it is stated that he said: " the messenger of Allah may peace be upon him said:<br /> "Do not say: " Ramadan ", because Ramadan is one of the names of Allah; instead, say: the month of Ramadan." It is a week hadith.<br /> Narrated by Al-Baihaqi in as-sunan Al-kubra(4/201).<br /> <b>the ruling of fasting:</b> Fasting in Ramadan is one of the pillars of Islam.<br /> Allah, the most high says in surah Al- Baqarah (2:183):<br /> يَـٰٓأَيُّهَا ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُواْ كُتِبَ عَلَيۡڪُمُ ٱلصِّيَامُ كَمَا كُتِبَ عَلَى ٱلَّذِينَ مِن قَبۡلِڪُمۡ لَعَلَّكُمۡ تَتَّقُونَ O ye who believe!

For Allah has blessings from His mercy that He wills from His slaves." They asked Allaah to conceal your awrah and to believe in your supplications.</i><br /> <i>We welcome Ramadan with things<br /> First: Praying that God inform you the month of Ramadan The Messenger of Allaah (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said: Du'aa 'is worship.

Shaykh al-Albaani said: It is saheeh. See hadeeth no. 4726 in Saheeh al-Jaami '</i><br /> <i>Al-Nawawi (may Allaah have mercy on him) said in his Book of Supplication: I know that it is mustahabb for one who renews a visible blessing to him, or if he is pushed by a curse that is apparent to prostrate, thank God, or praise what is his family. By your side last year and now lying in the dust waiting for a valid invitation, even if he was told to wish to say an hour of Ramadan, so you</i><br /> <i>Third: joy and joy, it was proven from the Messenger of Allah that he was preaching the companions of the month of Ramadan, he says:<br /> (Ramadan came to you, the month of Ramadan, the month of Mubarak, God wrote to you fasting in which the doors of Jinan and shut the doors of hell ...
