The Inception of the Azaan – Part Three

Written by

Hazrat Abdullah bin Zaid (radhiyallahu ‘anhu) mentions, “The next morning (after seeing the dream in which the angel taught me the words of the azaan), I presented myself before Rasulullah (sallallahu ‘alaihi wasallam) and related the dream to him. On hearing the dream, Rasulullah (sallallahu ‘alaihi wasallam) said:

إن هذه لرؤيا حق إن شاء اللّٰه تعالى

“Surely this dream is a true dream, Insha Allah Ta‘ala.”

The Inception of the Azaan – Part Two

Written by

The assembly of Rasulullah (sallallahu ‘alaihi wasallam) with the Sahaabah (radhiyallahu ‘anhum) had terminated without them arriving at any decision in regard to which method should be adopted to inform the people of the time to gather in the musjid for the congregational salaah.

Nevertheless, Hazrat Abdullah bin Zaid bin Abdi Rabbihi (radhiyallahu ‘anhu) was greatly affected by this concern of Rasulullah (sallallahu ‘alaihi wasallam).

The Inception of the Azaan – Part One

Written by

From the very beginning of the prophethood of Rasulullah (sallallahu ‘alaihi wasallam), two daily salaah were fardh – the fajr salaah and the asr salaah. Thereafter, on the Night of Mi’raaj, the remaining salaahs of the five daily salaah were made fardh.

All the salaahs, with the exception of maghrib, consisted of just two rakaats. After the hijrah, the two rakaats remained as they were for those traveling, while a further two rakaats were added in the zuhr, asr and esha salaahs for those not travelling.

1. Being Saved from the Difficulties of the Day of Qiyaamah

Hazrat Abu Qataadah (radhiyallahu ‘anhu) reports that Hazrat Rasulullah (sallallahu ‘alaihi wasallam) said, “The one who wishes for Allah Ta‘ala to save him from difficulties on the Day of Qiyaamah should grant respite to his debtor who is unable to pay or he should waive his debt.” [1]

Virtues of Earning a Halaal Livelihood

Written by

1. Earning Halaal is an Obligation of Deen

Hazrat Abdullah bin Mas’ood (radhiyallahu ‘anhu) reports that Hazrat Rasulullah (sallallahu ‘alaihi wasallam) said, “To seek a halaal livelihood is an obligation which is necessary after fulfilling all the faraaidh of Deen (salaah, fasting, zakaat, etc.).” [1]

It is reported that whenever a beggar came to Hazrat Aa’ishah (radhiyallahu ‘anha) and made dua for her, as is the habit of beggars (when begging from someone), then she would also make dua for the beggar, and thereafter, she would give him some charity. Someone asked her, “O Umm-ul-Mu’mineen! Why is it that you give the beggar charity, and you also make dua for him just as he made dua for you?”

She replied, “If I do not make dua for him, and I only give him charity, then his kindness over me will be superior to my kindness over him, as dua is far superior to charity. That is why I repay his dua with my dua, so that my charity remains pure and will not be in exchange of anything.”

Earning a Halaal Livelihood

Written by

Allah Ta‘ala has created man for the sole purpose of worshipping Him and fulfilling His commands. However, in order for man to fulfil this obligation, he will need to eat, drink and sustain his life in the world. Hence, Allah Ta‘ala has allowed man to earn a halaal livelihood, as this will assist him in fulfilling his primary purpose in the world.

The Unparalleled Generosity and Compassion of the Ansaar

Written by

The manner in which the Ansaar fulfilled the right of the pact of brotherhood with the Muhaajireen, and the extent of their sincerity in giving preference to the Muhaajireen over themselves, was such that it is impossible to find any parallel and likeness for it in the annals of history.

When it came to their wealth, lands and assets, then the Ansaar showed generosity to the Muhaajireen by giving them lands and orchards. However, over and above this, such examples of generosity are found among the Ansaar that if a person had two wives, he would say to his Muhaajir brother, “(Choose whichever wife you want from the two.) Whichever wife you wish, I will divorce her, and after the divorce (and iddah period), you may marry her.”

Using Medication while Fasting – Part Two

Written by

1. If one takes an injection, takes insulin or receives a drip in the state of fasting, the fast will not break. [1]

2. While fasting, it is not permissible for a woman to insert any medicine, oil, etc. into her private part. If she inserts any medicine into the private part, the fast will break and only qadha will be waajib. [2]

3. If the doctor inserts his finger into a fasting woman’s private part, or she inserts her own finger, then if the finger was wet or moist before inserting, the fast will break and only qadha will be waajib. If the finger was dry, the fast will not break. However, if the doctor or fasting woman inserted their dry finger and removed it, and thereafter reinserted it while it was wet, then the fast will break and only qadha will be waajib. [See 2]

The Second Occasion of Brotherhood

Written by

The second occasion when Rasulullah (sallallahu ‘alaihi wasallam) established the pact of brotherhood was five months after the hijrah. This pact of brotherhood occurred in the home of Hazrat Anas (radhiyallahu ‘anhu) between forty-five Muhaajireen and forty-five Ansaar. In this pact, each Muhaajir Sahaabi was paired with an Ansaari Sahaabi.
