Question: A lot of people do not realise or do not believe in the
command ofthe Hijaab or the beard. Can you briefly go throughits
importance?
Answer: The following is an excellent book on the beard:
THE LAWS OF THE BEARD AND THE HAIR IN THE LIGHT OF THE AHADITH
by Moulana Fadhlur Rahmaan Azmi
To read a book on Hijab, visit the following two links:
The Niqaab - Duroos.net
Hijab - Inter-Islam
Questions: Please tell us what duas we can make to be successful.
Answer: Dua from the heart with sincerity will grant success. However,
if one wants to read duas from the Qur'an and Ahadeeth then that is
also correct. There are many duas that can be found, a very nice one
is:
أللِّهُم النّفَعنِي بِمَا عَلَّمتَنِي وَ عَلِّمنِيِ مَا يَنفَعنِي
Allahumma infa'nii bimaa 'allamtanii wa'allimnii maa yanfa' unii
O Allah! Make useful for me what You taught me and teach me knowledge
that will be useful to me.
However, one should not limit oneself to this dua only, and try to
purchase anice dua book and read from there, accompanying it with dua
from the heart.
Question: Is tasbeeh a bid'ah? As I was told thereis no proof that
Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi wa sallamused a tasbeeh.
Answer: The idea [of usinga tasbeeh] is to count the Dhikr. Be it
counted with the fingers or with beads, both are permissible. It is
recorded in Abu-Dawood Shareef that some Sahaaba (Radhiallaahu Anhu)
had beads (seeds) which they used to use to count Dhikr.
