Hadith 128:

Abu Huraira reported that Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ) said to Bilal:

Bilal, narrate to me which act at the time of morning prayer you did in Islam for which you hope to receive good reward, for I heard during the night the sound of your steps before me in Paradise. Bilal said: I did not do any act in Islam for which I hope to get any benefit but this that when I perform complete ablution during the night or day I observe prayer with that purification what Allah has ordained for me to pray. (Sahih Muslim 2458, Sahih Al-Bukhari.)

Hadith 129: (Repeated, Sahih Muslim 234a.)

Hadith 130:

Zaid b. Khalid al-Juhani reported the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) as saying:
Anyone who performs ablution and performs his ablution well, and then he offers two rak’ahs of prayers in a way that he does not forget ( anything in it), will be forgiven all his past sins.

(Sunan Abi Dawud 905. Hasan, Sahih. )

Hadith 131:

Narrated Humran:

Then he washed his face thrice and (then) forearms up to the elbows thrice, then passed his wet hands over his head and then washed each foot thrice. After that `Uthman said, “I saw the Prophet (ﷺ) performing ablution like this of mine, and he said, ‘If anyone performs ablution like that of mine and offers a two-rak`at prayer during which he does not think of anything else (not related to the present prayer) then his past sins will be forgiven. ‘ (Sahih Al-Bukhari 164.)

Hadith 132:

On the authority of Abu Ad-Darda, that he heard the Prophet ﷺ say:

Whoever performs an excellent Wudhu, then stands and prays 2 or 4 Rakahs (the narrator is is doubt here), and he beautifies it with Dhikr and practices Khusho’, then he seeks forgiveness from Allah, Allah will forgive him.

Hadith 133:

Narrated Abu Huraira:

Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ) said, “If the people knew the reward for pronouncing the Adhan and for standing in the first row (in congregational prayers) and found no other way to get that except by drawing lots they would draw lots, and if they knew the reward of the Zuhr prayer (in the early moments of its stated time) they would race for it (go early) and if they knew the reward of `Isha’ and Fajr (morning) prayers in congregation, they would come to offer them even if they had to crawl.”

(Sahih Al-Bukhari 615, Sahih Muslim.)

Hadith 134:
It was narrated from al-Bara’ ibn ‘Aazib (may Allaah be pleased with him) that the Prophet of Allaah (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said:

“Allaah and His angels send blessings upon the front row, and the muezzin is forgiven as far as his voice reaches, and whatever hears him, animate or inanimate, confirms what he says, and he will have a reward like that of those who pray with him.” (Source: Islamqa.info)

Hadith 135:

Narrated Abu Huraira:

Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ) said, “When the Adhan is pronounced Satan takes to his heels and passes wind with noise during his flight in order not to hear the Adhan. When the Adhan is completed he comes back and again takes to his heels when the Iqama is pronounced and after its completion he returns again till he whispers into the heart of the person (to divert his attention from his prayer) and makes him remember things which he does not recall to his mind before the prayer and that causes him to forget how much he has prayed.”

Hadith 138:

Anas b. Malik reported:

The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) used to attack the enemy when it was dawn. He would listen to the Adhan; so if he heard an Adhan, he stopped, otherwise made an attack. Once on hearing a man say: Allah is the Greatest, Allah is the Greatest, the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) remarked: He is following al-Fitra (al-Islam). Then hearing him say: I testify that there is no god but Allah. there is no god but Allah, the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: You have come out of the Fire (of Hell). They looked at him and found that he was a goat herder.

Salman al-Farisi (may Allah be pleased with him) relates that the Messenger of Allah (Allah bless him & give him peace) said: “If a man is in a deserted land and the time of prayer arrives, thus he performs ablution (wudhu); and if he does not find water he performs the dry ablution (tayammum). If he gives the Iqama [and offers prayer], his two angels offer prayer with him, and if he gives the Adhan and Iqama, an army of Allah pray behind him – the two sides of which is not visible [due to it’s sheer number].”

(Musannaf Abd al-Razzaq no: 1955 and Al-Mu’jam al-Kabir of Tabarani 6/249, Sahih.)

Duha and Ishraq Prayers- Notes.

Q) When does the time for Duha Prayer start?

Ans.

Shaykh Ibn Al-‘Uthaymeen defined it as being from a quarter of an hour after the sun has risen (Tulu’) until ten minutes before Zuhr prayer.

Al-Sharh al-Mumti’, 4/122

Q) What is the Ishraaq prayer?

Shaykh Ibn Baaz said:

Ishraaq prayer is Duha prayer done at the beginning of its time.

Majmoo’ Fataawa al-Shaykh Ibn Baaz, 11/401.

Q) What is the virtue of Ishraaq (Early Duha) prayer?

Concerning its virtue, the Prophet (blessings and peace of Allah be upon him) said: “Whoever prays Fajr in congregation, then sits remembering Allah until the sun rises, then prays two rak‘ahs, will have a reward like that of Hajj and ‘Umrah, complete, complete, complete.”

Narrated by at-Tirmidhi (586), from Anas ibn Maalik (may Allah be pleased with him), Hasan according to Sh.Al-Albani and Sh.Ibn Baaz.

Q) Is Ishraaq or Duha Wajib (Obligatory)?

No it is Mustahab (highly recommended) but not Wajib.

Q) What is the maximum number of Rakahs allowed in Duha?

Shaykh Ibn Baaz (may Allah have mercy on him) said:

The minimum – for Duha – is two rak‘ahs, and there is no maximum number. But the Prophet (blessings and peace of Allah be upon him) prayed two and four rak‘ahs, and on the day of the conquest of Makkah he prayed Duha with eight rak‘ahs, on the day on which Allah granted him the conquest of Makkah. So this matter is broad in scope. Whether a person prays eight or ten or twelve rak‘ahs, or more than that, or less, there is nothing wrong with it, because the Prophet (blessings and peace of Allah be upon him) said: “The (Sunnah) prayers of the night and day are two (rak‘ahs) by two.” The Sunnah is to pray two by two, saying the salaam after each two rak‘ahs.

End quote from Majmoo‘ Fataawa Ibn Baaz, 11/389

Q) How should one offer the Duha prayers?

Ans. Two Rakahs with a complete Tasleem (Salams), and then two and two and so on.

Shaykh Ibn Baaz (may Allaah have mercy on him) said:

What is prescribed is for the Muslim to offer the naafil prayers of the day and the night two by two, because the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said: “The night prayers are (to be offered) two by two” (saheeh – agreed upon). And according to a saheeh report he said: “The prayers of the night and the day are (to be offered) two by two.” Narrated by Imam Ahmad and the authors of al-Sunan with a saheeh isnaad.

Majmoo’ Fataawa al-Shaykh Ibn Baaz, 11/390

Q) What is Salatul Awabeen?

Salatul Awwabeen is Salatud Duha which is prayed when the sun has risen high and it is best to pray it when the weather is the hottest.

According to a report narrated by Muslim from al-Qaasim al-Shaybaani, Zayd ibn Arqam saw some people praying Duhaa and said: Do they not know that praying at some other time than this is better? The Messenger of Allaah (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said: Salaat al-Awwaabeen is when the young camels lift up their feet (because of the heat of the sand). (Saheeh Muslim, 1237).

Al-Nawawi (may Allaah have mercy on him) said: The phrase Salaat al-Awwaabeen is when the young camels lift up their feet (because of the heat of the sand) refers to when the sand becomes unbearably hot from the suns heat, and burns the soles of the young camels feet, so they alternately raise and lower their feet in response to the heat of the sand. Al-Awwaab means one who is obedient, or one who turns to obedience. The hadeeth also refers to the best time to offer this prayer, although it is permissible to pray it any time after the sun has risen and before it reaches its zenith.

(Sharh Muslim lil-Nawawi).

Q) What are the forbidden times for praying Salatud Duha?

-1- From when dawn breaks until approximately a quarter of an hour after the sun has risen (Atleast 15 minutes after Tulu’ we mustn’t pray any Nafil). You can find out the time of sunrise from the timetables that are available in all countries.

-2- Approximately a quarter of an hour before the time for Zuhr prayer begins, until the time for Zuhr begins. (Atleast 15 mins before Zuhr we should stop praying all Nafil Salah.)

Note: There are many more virtues of Duha Prayer in the Ahadith.

Yasir Qadhi- Points On His Manhaj.

السلام عليكم و رحمة الله و بركاته

Q) Who is Yasir Qadhi? Is he a Modernist Salafi?

Yasir Qadhi is not a Modernist Salafi, he is only a *modernist*.

1) His mixing with the deviant Ahlul Bidah of Al-Maghrib institute and his distance from Salafi Duaat is clear.

2) He has mocked the Ulama for their mistaken Ijtehad publicly.

3) Yasir Qadhi hates Sh.Muhammad bin Abdul Wahhab and has called him the founder of neo-Khawarij (new Khawarij movement).

4) As an addition to point 3. He considers extreme grave worshippers to be Muslims.

5) Very recently he has stated that Yajuj and Majuj are not exactly as they’re mentioned in Ahadith.

6) He calls for unity with the Shia.

No one but someone like him will praise or commend him.

Q) Can we watch his Seerah classes as it is said that they were given before his deviance?

No, his Seerah classes are after he started becoming deviant. Plus there are many weak Ahadith in them.

Even if he used authentic narrations, we can’t hear him because we can’t allow our ears to fall in love with a Mubtadi deviant like him. Our hearts are very feeble. They ll soon fall for his other rubbish.

-Abu Muaaz Mohammed Manna.

Why is Yasmin Mogahed from the deviant preachers?

Yasmin Mogahed is deviant and is understood by the facts that:

1) She doesn’t warn against Shirk and Bidah and has not clearly stated what is her position or definition of Tawheed.

2) A Daiyah is known by his/her company, Yasmin Mogahed is not known to be with the authentic Salafi preachers. She is associated with the deviant modernist-liberal Al-Maghrib institute.

3) You will never see her quoting the authentic scholars of our century like the Shuyookh- Al-Albani, Ibn Baaz, Ibn Al-Uthaymeen, Muqbil bin Hadee, etc.

4) You will not see her clearly condemning or refuting the LGBT group or same-sex (homosexual) groups.

5) If she is not directing the people to the authentic Salafi Ulama, then whom is she directing towards, of course towards the Al-Maghrib liberal modernists.

●This is enough of a proof to avoid her and her deviant Dawah.

-Abu Muaaz Mohammed Manna.

Men Listening To Islamic Lectures By Female Speakers- Some Points.

السلام عليكم و رحمة الله و بركاته

Women can be teachers, but men should avoid listening to women as long as other men are teaching the very same things to avoid the Fitnah of being attracted to women.

If the lady teacher in question is teaching a science that other men are not teaching or are busy to give time to you, then you may learn from the lady teacher subject to certain Sharii’ conditions:

(1) The woman should be accompanied by her Mahram, or another responsibile group of women, and there should be no Khalwa (being alone with the non-Mahram male).

(2) She should be in the appropriate Islamic Hijab.

(3) If she follows the opinion of covering her face not being obligatory, she shouldn’t beautify her face when keeping it open.

(4) She shouldn’t apply perfumes or any fragrance while teaching.

(5) She should try her best not to have an alluring voice.

(6) If she is being viewed by men, live or in a recorded video, the men should look at the state of their hearts and stop listening to her if their hearts are getting attracted to her. In either case, watching a live show or video recording, men should obligatorily lower their eyes from the female teachers, unless the female teacher is too old (post-menopausal) and unattractive to be sought for marriage.

(7) Sessions with Shaikhs or Shaikhas, which have mixed audiences, should have appropriate partitioning. They two genders shouldn’t sit side by side, rather, the men should sit in the front rows and women should be seated from the last rows (with or without a curtain). There shouldn’t be mixed seating arrangements or side-by-side separated arrangements. Side-by-side arrangements are ok if their is a physical partition like a wall or curtain.

-Abu Muaaz Mohammed Manna.
