*- WHAT ISLAM SAYS -* - Islam is a religion of Mercy, Peace and Blessing. Its teachings emphasize kind hear tedness, help, sympathy, forgiveness, sacrifice, love and care.Qur’an, the Shari’ah and the life of our beloved Prophet (SAW) mirrors this attribute, and it should be reflected in the conduct of a Momin.Islam appreciates those who are kind to their fellow being,and dislikes them who are hard hearted, curt, and hypocrite.Recall that historical moment, when Prophet (SAW) entered Makkah as a conqueror. There was before him a multitude of surrendered enemies, former oppressors and persecutors, who had evicted the Muslims from their homes, deprived them of their belongings, humiliated and intimidated Prophet (SAW) hatched schemes for his murder and tortured and killed his companions. But Prophet (SAW) displayed his usual magnanimity, generosity, and kind heartedness by forgiving all of them and declaring general amnesty...Subhanallah. May Allah help us tailor our life according to the teachings of Islam. (Aameen)./-

Quoting a verse of Qur’aan as a proverb

We hear many people using Qur'aanic verses as proverbs and the like,
suchas the verses (interpretation of the meaning): "Which will neither
nourish nor avail against hunger" [al-Ghaashiyah 88:7] and "Thereof
(the earth) We created you, and into it We shall return you, and from
it We shall bring you out once again" [Ta-Ha 20:55]. That includes
Qur'aanic verses which cannot be uttered except for beneficial
purposes, not for mockery and making fun, as it is commonly quoted by
some people, either verbally or in writing. Is that permissible or
not?.
Praise be to Allaah.
There is nothing wrong with quoting Qur'aanic verses as proverbs, if
that is for a valid purpose, suchas saying This is something that
"will neither nourish nor avail against hunger" or saying "Thereof
(the earth) We created you, and into it We shall return you, and from
it We shall bring you out once again", if one wants to remind people
oftheir relationship with the earth, from which they were created and
to whichthey will return. If quotingQur'aan as a proverb is
notintended by way of mockery and making fun, there is nothing wrong
with it. But if it is done by way of mockery and making fun, as the
questioner mentions, thenthis is regarded as apostasy from Islam,
because the one who makes fun of the Qur'aan or of any mention of
Allaah, may He be glorifiedand exalted, has apostatized from Islam, as
Allaah says (interpretation of the meaning):
"Say: "Was it at Allaah ( عز و جل ), and His Ayaat (proofs, evidences,
verses, lessons, signs, revelations, etc.) and His Messenger (صلى الله
عليه وسلم) that youwere mocking?"
66. Make no excuse; you disbelieved after you had believed"
[al-Tawbah 9:65-66]
It is essential to venerate and respect the Qur'aan, but that does not
mean that one cannot quote it as a proverb in a proper and respectful
manner. There is nothing wrong with that, but using it by way of
mockery and making fun is apostasy from Islam. And Allaah knows best.

Health Benefits of Camel Milk and CamelUrine

June 18, 2012 10:09 pm
بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم
A sister told us a story about this individual who suffered from
cancer and doctors had said that he was in his last stages of hislife.
So a person recommended them to give mixture of camel milk and camel
urine to the patient. In just 3 days his reports came out as negative
for cancer and thepreviously bed-ridden patient was now happily
walking about!
I was a little shocked. Really? Camel urine?
But if you study Biological Sciences you wouldn't be surprised of the
immense benefits in it because Scientists are looking for treatments
in the most unimaginable of places andthey're actually finding them!
Camel urine is way better than where they areheading though. The urine
of animals whose flesh we're permitted to eat is taahir(click here to
find out more). What about those vaccines with pig's 'whatever' in
them? Pig's a 100% najas. We should be disgusted at that rather than
anything Allah-proved.
Anyway, we have a 100% belief that whatever is suggested in the Sunnah
works because Allah SWT inspired the Prophet (peace be upon him) to
sayall that he did. This is for your reference (quite amazing really
mashaa'Allah, revive the Prophetic Sunnah if you have these available
inshaa'Allah!):
***
Question: I hope that you can provide me with a scientific answer – if
such knowledge is available – about the saheeh hadeeth about drinking
camel's urine. May Allaah reward you.
Answer:
Praise be to Allaah.
The hadeeth referred to by the questioner is a saheeh hadeeth, in
which it says that some people came to Madeenah and fell sick.
TheProphet (peace and blessings of Allaah be uponhim) told them to
drink themilk and urine of camels, and they recovered and grew fat. In
the story it also says that they apostatized and killed the
camel-herder, then the Muslims caught them and executed them.
[Narrated by al-Bukhaari (2855) and Muslim (1671).]
With regard to the health benefits of drinking the milk and urine of
camels, they are many, and they are well known to the earlier
generations of medical science and they have been proven by modern
scientific research.
Ibn al-Qayyim said: The author of al-Qanoon (the Canon) – i.e. the
doctor Ibn Seena (Avicenna) – said: The most beneficial of urine is
the urine of Bedouin camels which are called najeeb. End quote.
[Zaad al-Ma'aad (4/47, 48).]
In the Emirati newspaper al-Ittihaad (issue no. 11172, Sunday 6
Muharram 1427 AH/5 February 2006) it says:
One of the most important things for which camels areraised is their
milk, which is efficacious in treating many illnesses, including
hepatitis, and the digestivesystem in general, various types of cancer
and other diseases.
In an article by Dr Ahlaam al-'Awadi, which was published in al-Da'wah
magazine, issue no. 1938, 25 Safar 1425 AH/15 April 2004 CE, about the
diseases which can be treated with camel's milk, as proven by
experience, it says that there are many benefits in camel's milk.
There follows some of what was said in the articleby Dr. Ahlaam:
Camel's urine is efficacious in the treatment of skin diseases such as
ringworm,tinea and abscesses, sores that may appear on the body and
hair, and dry andwet ulcers. Camel's urine brings the secondary
benefits of making the hairlustrous and thick, and removing dandruff
from the scalp. Camel's milk is also beneficial in treating hepatitis,
even if it has reached an advanced stagewhere medicine is unable to
treat it. End quote.
In the al-Jazeerah al-Sa'oodiyyah newspaper (issue no. 10132, Rabee'
al-Awwal 1421 AH) there isa quotation from the book Al-Ibl Asraar wa
i'jaaz (The camel: secrets and wonders) by Darmaan ibn 'Abd al-'Azeez
Aal Darmaanand Sanad ibn Mutlaq al-Subay'i:
As for camel's urine, the book suggests that it has numerous uses
which are beneficial for man. This is indicated by the Prophetic texts
and confirmed by modern science … Scientificexperiments have proven
that camel's urine has a lethal effect on the germs that cause many
diseases.
Among the uses of camel's urine, many women use it to wash their hair,
to makeit longer, and to make it lighter and more lustrous. Camel's
urine is also efficacious in the treatmentof swelling of the liver and
other diseases such as abscesses, sores that appear on the body and
toothache, and for washingeyes. End quote.
Prof. Dr. 'Abd al-Fattaah Mahmoud Idrees says:
With regard to the benefitsof camel's urine in treating disease, Ibn
Seena said in his Qanoon: The most beneficial of urine is the urine of
the Bedouin camels known as najeeb. Camel's urine is beneficial in
treating al-hazaaz, and itwas said that al-hazzaz is apain in the
heart caused byanger and so on......

A part of a story

.....flanks every wall, aisle, nook and cranny of the gargantuan
building. No. It's daunting because of the way those Men Who Love Man
Stuff treat a woman like me, who just wants to buy a dang kayak.
Like a poor little birdie who fell from her nest.
Probably a little like how Dr P felt when he walked into Gus Mayer to
buy me some Tory Burch flats for my birthday. Except he doesn't have
pride issues like I do.
I don't like feeling like a poor little birdie. I like feeling like I
know what the hell I'm doing, even when I don't know what the hell I'm
doing. I've got a lot of Super Dave (my dad) in me, it seems. But when
Super Dave walks into the Bass Pro Shop, no one looks at him like a
little birdie. They look at him like a MAN who wantsto buy some Man
Stuff.
So I put on my most serious "Super Dave" face, flung my shoulders
back, and waltzed through those doors like I owned the place. I was
greeted bya patronizing older man who asked if I needed any help. THE
NERVE! He didn't ask the man in the camouflage pants and the
construction boots who had walked in just ahead of me!
I confidently replied, "No thanks!" and made a quickvisual sweep of
the warehouse of MAN. I pointed myself in the direction of "Boating,"
andconfidently strode toward it.
A kayak is a boat, right?
Right????
No. According to Bass Pro Shop, it's a "Camping Equipment." Minus one
point for me. Already feeling idiotic, I was escorted aaaaaaall the
way across to the other side of the store, where the kayaks are kept.
Right next to the tents and the cast iron skillets. Makes sense.
(NOT!)
But the rest of the transaction went fine. Thank goodness I came
prepared with a rope and a razor blade to cut the rope ... I was asked
those two questions immediately, and was given an approving look when
I nonchalantly explained that I had both in the car. Plus two points
for me!
Two young men came out to help me load the kayak after I purchased it.
Our"plan A" was to fit it into the car, rather than on top,sliding it
into the back hatch and up into the front passenger seat. The kayak
almost fit inside the car. The glass part of the back hatch had to
remain open about 1 inch to allow for the protruding stern. One of the
boys helping me tied the glass window shut using the rope I brought,
and I was off!
But driving with a kayak in your passenger seat is not an easy task.
It covered the back window, the passenger side rearview mirror, the
main rearview mirror, and everywindow on the passenger side of the
car. So I had only the windshield and the driver-side window to
utilize during the 25-mile drive home on the interstate.
But as long as I drove slowly and stayed in the right lane, all would
be fine. Right?
No. Because as soon as I left the entrance ramp andgained a little
speed, the back hatch flew open. Yes. Flew open.
ON THE INTERSTATE.
Let me tell you what happens when someone opens a window of a swiftly
moving vehicle that I'm riding in. My left eardrum goes absolutely
berserk. It turns itself into a REAL drum, and the car's uneven air
pressure becomes the drumstick beating on the inside of MY HEAD.
People, the PAIN,I am telling you!
So I knew I had a problem as soon as my eardrum became the Hudson High
School Marching Band.
I glanced in the rearview mirror and saw the open air behind me, and
the kayak teetering on the edge of the gate. I knew itwould be very,
very bad ....possibly deadly for the person behind me, if that kayak
were to somehow fly out of the open back window. So I wrapped my arm
inside the cockpit of the kayak, cursed the idiotwho had tied the
window closed, and prayed that the next exit wasn't too far down the
road.
Then it started pouring SHEETS OF RAIN.
This ain't no joke.
I put my flashers on and pulled off at the next exit very slowly. I
got out and walked around to the backof the car in the pouring rain,
and simply closed thehatch. Something must have shifted while
driving,and suddenly the kayak fitinto the car without having to
re-tie the window shut. Simple as that. Hallelujah.
Then I drove home through the torrential downpour, trying to
avoidswitching lanes too much. I only had to move to the right lane
twice, and both times I honked my"friendly honk" profusely (beep!
beep! beep! beep!) as I switched lanes. Yes, I was stared at. (Look!
Crazylady with a boat as her passenger honking like a maniac at 3
o'clock!) But I got home safely, and that's all that matters.
And you guys, Dr P loves this thing. He was so happy when I showed
himlast night. And this morning he was running late for work, and
still found time to go downstairs and stare at the thing for a few
minutes.
This morning I went to Walmart and found some proper kayak straps, and
tied her to the roof. We're headed to the beach for the weekend this
afternoon, and we can't wait to try it out! Wish us luck ...

What is the ruling on the imam repeating some verses that speak of mercyor punishment?

Praise be to Allaah.
I do not know of anything wrong with that, because it encourages the
people to ponder and focus and benefit. It was narrated that the
Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) repeated the verse
(interpretation of the meaning): "If You punish them, they are Your
slaves, and if You forgive them, verily, You, only You, are the
All-Mighty, the All-Wise" [al-Maa'idah 5:118] severaltimes.
To sum up: if it is done for a good reason and not for the purpose of
showing off, then there is nothing wrong with it, but if he thinks
that repeating it may annoy them or result in disturbing sounds such
as weeping, then it is better not to do that, so that there will not
be any distraction. But if repeating it will only lead to pondering
and proper focus on the prayer, then it is all good. End quote.

mercy on him) (11/343, 344).

What is meant by reciting Qur’aan in a melodious voice?

Praise be to Allaah.
In the saheeh Sunnah it is encouraged to recite the Qur'aan in a
melodious voice, i.e., making the voice beautiful when reciting it. It
does not mean that one should recite it as if singing, rather what is
meant is that one should make the voice beautiful when reciting. For
example the saheeh hadeeth says: "Allaah never listens to anything as
He listens to a Prophet with a beautiful voice reciting the Qur'aan
out loud" and "He is not one of us who does not recite Qur'aan in a
melodious voice when reciting it out loud." What this means is making
the voice beautiful, as stated above.
The meaning of the hadeeth quoted above refers to listening in a
manner that is befitting toAllaah and it is not like theattributes of
His creation, as is the case with all His other attributes. It may
besaid of His listening that it is like His other attributes, that it
is in a manner that is befitting to Allaah, may He be glorified and
exalted, and there is nothing like unto Him, may He be glorified and
exalted. Allaah says (interpretation of the meaning): "There is
nothing like Him, and He isthe All-Hearer, the All-Seer" [al-Shoora
42:11].Reciting in a melodious tone means reciting out loud and making
the voicebeautiful and with proper focus, so that the heart is moved,
because the aim isto stir the heart with this Qur'aan, so that people
will fear Allaah and so thatthey will find peace and benefit from it.
An example of this is the story of Abu Moosa al-Ash'ari (may Allaah be
pleased with him), when the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be
upon him) passed by him as he was reciting Qur'aan,and he started
listening tohim and said: "You have been given a beautiful voice like
the beautiful voices of the family of Dawood." When Abu Moosa came,
the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) told him about
that and Abu Moosa said: If I had known, O Messenger of Allaah, that
you were listening, I would have made it very beautiful indeed. The
Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) did not denounce
him for that,which indicates that making the voice beautifuland being
careful in reciting is something that is required, so that both the
reader and the listenerwill focus properly and will both benefit. End
quote.

The meaning of the hadeeth “ ‘Qul Huwa Allaahu Ahad” is equivalent to one-third of the Qur’aan”

Praise be to Allaah.
Firstly: there follow some of the ahaadeeth narrated from the Prophet
(peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) which state that Soorat
al-Ikhlaas (Qul Huwa Allaahu Ahad) is equivalent to one-third of the
Qur'aan.
Al-Bukhaari (6643) narrated from Abu Sa'eed that a man heard another
man reciting Qul Huwa Allaahu Ahad and repeating it. The next morning
he came to the Messenger of Allaah (peaceand blessings of Allaah be
upon him) and told him about that. The man thought that it was too
little, but the Messenger ofAllaah (peace and blessings of Allaah be
upon him) said: "By the One in Whose hand is my soul, it is equivalent
to one-third of the Qur'aan."
Muslim (811) narrated from Abu'l-Dardaa' that the Prophet (peace and
blessings of Allaah be upon him) said: "Is any one of you unable to
recite one-third of the Qur'aan in one night?" They said, "How could
anyone read one-third of the Qur'aan?" He said, "QulHuwa Allaahu Ahad
is equivalent to one-third of the Qur'aan."
Muslim (812) narrated that Abu Hurayrah said: The Messenger of Allaah
(peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said: "Gather together,
for I will recite to you one-third of the Qur'aan." So those who could
gather together gathered there, then the Prophet of Allaah(peace and
blessings of Allaah be upon him) came out and recited Qul Huwa Allaahu
Ahad, then he went in. They said to one another, Perhaps there hasbeen
some news from heaven on account of which he has gone inside (the
house). Then the Prophet of Allaah (peace and blessings of Allaah be
upon him) came out and said, "I told you that I was going to recite to
you one-third of the Qur'aan. Verily it is equivalent to one-third of
the Qur'aan."
Secondly: The bounty of Allaah is immense, and Allaah has bestowed His
bounty upon this ummah and has made up for its short life span by
giving it more reward for simple deeds. It is strange that with some
people, insteadof this motivating them todo more good, this makes them
apathetic and lazy indoing acts of worship, or they feel that this
bounty and reward is strange and farfetched.
With regard to the meaning of the hadeeth:
There is a difference between jaza' (reward) and ijza' (what is
sufficient). What is makingthe brother confused is that he does not
see the difference between them.
Jaza' means the reward which Allaah gives for obeying Him.
Ijza' means what is sufficient and takes the place of something else.
Reciting Qul Huwa AllaahuAhad brings a reward equivalent to reciting
one-third of the Qur'aan, but it does not take the place of reading
one-third of the Qur'aan.
If a person vows – for example – to read one-third of the Qur'aan,
itis not sufficient for him to read Qul Huwa Allaahu Ahad, because it
is equivalent to one-third of the Qur'aan in reward, but not in terms
of being sufficient or taking the place of reading one-third of the
Qur'aan.
The same may be said of reciting it three times. If a person recites
it three times in his prayer, that does not mean that he does not have
to recite al-Faatihah, even though he will be given the reward of
reciting the whole Qur'aan.
A similar example is the reward given by the Lawgiver to one who
offers a single prayer in the Sanctuary of Makkah, and that he will
have the reward of one hundred thousand prayers. Does anyone take this
divine bounty to means that he does not have to pray for decades
because he offered a single prayer in the Haram that is equivalent to
one hundredthousand prayers?
Rather this has to do withreward; as for what is sufficient, that is
another matter altogether.
Moreover, none of the scholars has ever said that there is no need
for us to read the Qur'aan or that Qul Huwa Allaah Ahad is sufficient
and takes the place of that. The correct scholarly view is that this
soorah has this great virtue because the Qur'aandeals with three
topics: one-third for rulings, one-third for promises andwarnings, and
one-third for the Divine names and attributes.
This soorah combines names and attributes.
This is the view of Abu'l-'Abbaas ibn Surayj, and Shaykh al-Islam Ibn
Taymiyah stated that it was good in Majmoo' al-Fataawa, 17/103.
The Muslim cannot do without the two other issues, which are the
rulings and the promises and warnings. His knowledge cannot be
complete unless he looks at the Book of Allaah as a whole. The one who
stops at Soorat al-Ikhlaas cannotknow the other two matters.

What is the secret of thenumber 7 and its multiples in the Holy Qur’aan and Sunnah?

What is the secret of the number 7 in the Qur'aan and hadeeth?.
Praise be to Allaah.
Undoubtedly the Qur'aan is miraculous, and there are many facets to
its miraculous nature, such aslinguistic, legislative, and so on. Its
challenge to mankind and the jinn to produce something similarto it
still stands. Allaah says (interpretation of the meaning):
"Say: If the mankind and the jinn were together to produce the like of
this Qur'aan, they could not produce the like thereof, even if they
helped one another"
[al-Isra' 17:88].
Ibn al-Qayyim discussed the number 7 in his book Zaad al-Ma'aad fi
Huda Khayr al-'Ibaad (4/90) when he discussed the hadeeth in
al-Saheehayn: "The one who eats seven dates of al-'Aaliyah in the
morning will not be harmed that day by poison or witchcraft." He said:
As for specifying the number seven, it has to dowith the creation and
sahr'i commands of Allaah.Allaah created seven heavens, seven earths
and seven days, and man's creation is completed in seven stages;
Allaah has prescribed that His slaves should walk around the Ka'bah
seven times (tawaaf) and go back and forth between Safa and Marwah
seven times (saa'i), and stone the jamaraat with seven pebbles each,
and the takbeeraat of Eid are seven in the first rak'ah. The Prophet
(peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said: "Instruct your
children to pray when they are seven." When the boy reaches the age of
seven he should be given the choice between his parents according to
one report, and according to another report, his father has more right
to him than his mother; according to a third reporthis mother has more
right to him. When he was sick, the Prophet (peace and blessings of
Allaah be upon him) ordered that water from seven skins be poured on
him. Allaah sentthe wind against the people of 'Aad for seven days.
The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) asked Allaah
to help him by sending upon his people seven (years) like the seven
years of Yoosuf – i.e., seven years of famine. Allaah likened the
reward of one who gives charity to a grain that produces seven ears,
in each of which are one hundred grains. The number of ears of grain
seen by the companion of Yoosuf (in the dream) was seven, the number
of years for which they were cultivated was seven, and (the reward for
charity) is multiplied seven hundred fold or more. Seventy thousand of
this ummah will be admitted to Paradise without being brought to
account.
Then Ibn al-Qayyim commented: Undoubtedly this number has some special
qualities that are not shared by other numbers. … Allaah knows best
about His wisdom, laws and decree in singling out this number. End
quote.
Based on this, the correct view is to refrain from indulging in
discussion of the reason why this number is singled out for mention,
except on the basis of clear, sound evidence.
.
And Allaah knows best.

10 Things You ShouldNever Say to Your Wife

It's a pity no one states thethings not to say to your wife ever.
But if we had to had to bribe the pundit to read out the top 10
commandments of what a husband must never mention to his wife
insteadof wedding vows, this is what it would look like. 1. "Maybe you
should go on a diet."
Yes, looking after your house and keeping it habitable has affected
howshe looks but if you can't compliment her , don't everlet her hear
this one. Especially when you're sitting with your perfect tyre in
place.
2. "Why don't you work as long as me?"
Yes, we get it. You're irritated and need to spark off an argument but
talking about what a great sacrifice you make by working is not going
to help anyone. Especially if she's quit her own job to look after the
house and kids. 3. "Anand from Accounts is …."
No, your wife doesn't wantto know about office gossip. When you're
home, she wants you to listen to her not your work problems. At least
not every day!
4. "That one looks hot!"
If you have ever said this to your wife while checking out another
woman and lived to survive the tale, you know what a landmine this
sentence is loaded with.
5. "I don't feel like talking."
This can be excused if used sparingly. However, if you want to prevent
communication problems in your relationship then you better learn to
have anopen channel all the time.
6. "All you do is nag."
Desist from ever saying this. Your wife's already short fuse will be
completely blown if you such this incendiary sentence.
7. "Why do you want to go shopping again?"
Yes, she knows you hate it. But you need to entertain her too and if
she likes to go shopping, then tough luck. Deal with it, don't
complain about it.
8. "You're not really wearing that, are you?"
Unless you're Narendra Kumar Ahmed or Sabyasachi Mukherjee,
questioning her sartorial choices so bluntly is going to cause a major
fight. Try and suggest your picks in amore delicate manner.
9. "Must be that time of the month."
If you think you can use this line as a weapon for a clever retort,
you've got another thing coming. This can be one of the most
insulting, not to mention sexist, things you can ever say to your
wife.
10. "You're acting like your mother."
The biggest no-no. No woman likes to be compared to another woman,
especially her mother. Bear in mind you're also passing a judgement on
her mother with this one. Unless you want to spend an entire year
apologising, refrain from ever using this line during your entire
marriage.
A marriage is a union between two different people and it can be
perfect only if both the people accept each other as they are.

Commentary on the verse in which Allaah says: “Verily, Allaah will not change the (good) condition of a people as long as they do not change their state (of goodness) themselves (by committing sins and by being ungrateful and disobedient to Allaah)”

What is the meaning of the words of Allaah, may He be blessed and
exalted,in Soorat al-Ra'd (interpretation of the meaning): "Verily,
Allaah will not change the (good)condition of a people as long as they
do not change their state (of goodness) themselves (by committing sins
and by being ungrateful and disobedient to Allaah)" [al-Ra'd 13:11]?.
Praise be to Allaah.
This is an important verse which indicates that Allaah, may He be
blessed and exalted, in His perfect justice and wisdom does not change
the condition of the people from good to bad or from bad to good, from
ease to hardship or from hardship to ease, unless they change their
condition themselves. So if they are in a state of righteousness and
goodness and they change, Allaah will changethings for them with
punishment, calamities, hardship, drought, famine,disunity and other
kinds ofpunishments as appropriate requital. Allaah says
(interpretation of the meaning): "And your Lord is not at all unjust
to (His) slaves" [Fussilat 41:46].
Or He may give them respite and give them time so that they might
truen to the right path, but if they do not then they will be seized
unexpectedly, as He says (interpretation of the meaning): "So, when
they forgot (the warning) with which they had been reminded, We opened
for them the gates of every (pleasant) thing, until in the midst of
their enjoyment in that which they were given, all of a sudden, We
took them (in punishment), and lo! They were plunged into destruction
with deep regrets and sorrows" [al-An'aam 6:44]., meaningdespairing of
all goodness -- we seek refuge in Allaahfrom the punishment and wrath
of Allaah. Or they may be given respite until the Day of Resurrection,
when their punishment will be more severe, as Allaah says
(interpretation of the meaning):
"Consider not that Allaah is unaware of that which the Zâlimûn
(polytheists, wrongdoers) do, but He gives them respite up to a Day
when the eyes will stare in horror"[Ibraaheem14:42], meaning that they
are given respite until after death, and that will be a greater and
more severe punishment.
Or they may be in a state of evil and sin, then they repent to Allaah
and turn back to Him, and they regret their sins and adhere to
obedience, so Allaah changes their state of wretchedness, hardship and
poverty to ease, unity and righteousness becauseof their good deeds
and their repentance to Allaah,may He be glorified and exalted. It
says in another verse (interpretation of the meaning): "That is so
because Allaah will never change a grace which He has bestowed on a
people until they change what is in their ownselves" [al-Anfaal 8:53].
This verse tells us that if they are in astate of ease, comfort and
goodness, then they change and turn to sin, their situation will be
changed -- there is no power and no strength except with Allaah -- or
they may be given respite,as stated above. The opposite is also true:
if they were in a state of eviland sin, or disbelief and misguidance,
then they repent, regret their sin andadhere to obedience to Allaah,
Allaah will change their situation from bad togood; He will change
their disunity into unity and harmony; He will change their hardship
to ease, well being and plenty; He will change their situation from
draught, famine, , lack of water and so on to rainfall, fertile land
and other kinds of goodness. End quote.

1a] Will he be rewarded for listening to the Qur’aan without understanding it?

1a]
Shaykh Ibn 'Uthaymeen (may Allah have mercy on him) was asked:
Will a person be rewardedif he reads the Qur'aan, even if he does not
understand its meanings?
He replied:
The Holy Qur'aan is blessed, as Allah, may He be exalted, says
(interpretation of the meaning): "(This is) a Book(the Qur'aan) which
We have sent down to you, full of blessings, that they may ponder over
its Verses, and that men of understanding may remember" [Saad 38:29].
So man is enjoined to readit, whether he understands its meanings or
not. But the believer who is enjoined to act upon it should not read
Qur'aan without understanding its meanings. If a person wants to learn
medicine, for example, and studies the books of medicine, he cannot
benefit from them unless he understands their meanings and they are
explained to him; in fact he will be very keen to understand the
meanings so that he can apply them. So why do you think anyone should
read the Book of Allah, may He be glorified and exalted, which is a
healingfor what is in the hearts and exhortation to people,without
pondering and without understanding its meanings? For this reason the
Companions (may Allah be pleased with them) would not move onfrom ten
verses until they had learned them and learned the knowledge they
contained and how to act upon it. So they learned the Qur'aan and
knowledge and action all together.
A person will be rewarded for reading the Qur'aan whether he
understands its meanings or not, but he should be very keen to
understand its meanings and to learn these meanings from scholars who
are trustworthy in their knowledge. If he has no access to a scholar
whocan teach him the meanings, he may refer to the trustworthy books
of tafseer, such as Tafseer IbnJareer, Tafseer Ibn Katheer and others
which pay attention to the tafseer that is based on reports narrated
from the Sahaabah and the Taabi'een (may Allah be pleased with them).

1] Will he be rewarded for listening to the Qur’aan without understanding it?

Will a person (a believer) be rewarded if he listens to the Qur'aan
without understanding what he is listening to, but he knows that it is
Qur'aan? Or will he not be rewarded unlesshe understands what he
ishearing? I hope you could give some evidence from the Qur'aan and
saheeh hadeeth.
Praise be to Allaah.
Firstly:
Allah, may He be exalted, has commanded the believers to listen to the
Qur'aan attentively, in a general command. He says(interpretation of
the meaning): "So, when the Qur'aan is recited, listen toit, and be
silent that you may receive mercy" [al-A'raaf 7:204].
Shaykh al-Sa'di (may Allah have mercy on him) said:
This command is general and includes everyone who hears the Book of
Allah being recited. He is enjoined to listen to it andkeep quiet. The
difference between listening and keeping quiet is that keeping quiet
is done outwardly by not speaking or being distracted with anything
that would keep one from focusing on listening to it.
As for listening to it, this means that one hears it with an attentive
heart, pondering the meaning of what one is listening to. The one who
adheres to these two commands when the Book of Allah is recited will
attain a great deal of good, beneficial knowledge, ongoing and renewed
faith, increased guidance and insight into his religion. Hence Allah
connected the attainment of mercy to them, which indicates that the
one whodoes not keep quiet and listen attentively when the Book is
recited to him will be deprived of the share of mercy and has missed
out on a great dealof good.
The most emphatic command with regard to listening to the Qur'aan
attentively has to do with prayers in which Qur'aan isrecited out loud
by the imam, in which one is enjoined to listen attentively, to such
an extent that most of the scholars say that his focusing on keeping
quiet and listening attentively takes priority over his reciting
al-Faatihah etc.
End quote from Tafseer al-Sa'di, 314
The greater aim of keeping quiet and listening attentively is so that
the listener may ponder and understand the meanings, and act upon
them. Imam al-Tabari (may Allah have mercy on him) said:
Allah says to those who believe in Him and in His Book, for whom the
Qur'aan is guidance and mercy: "So, when the Qur'aan is recited", to
you, O believers; "listen to it", i.e. lend your ears so that you
might understand its verses and learn from its exhortation; "and be
silent" and listen to it attentively, so that you might understand and
ponder, and do not utter idle talk during it lest you do not
understand; "that you may receive mercy" i.e., that you might
receivethe mercy of your Lord by heeding His exhortation and adhering
to His limits and to what He enjoins upon you in the verses.
End quote from Tafseer al-Tabari, 13/244
If a person manages to achieve that, i.e., keeping quiet, listening
attentively,pondering what is recited to him and understanding its
meanings, that will bring him goodness in thisworld and the Hereafter.
Shaykh al-Islam Ibn Taymiyah (may Allah havemercy on him) said:
By means of this listening, Allah guides His slaves andsets straight
their affairs inthis world and the Hereafter; with this the Messenger
(blessings and peace of Allah be upon him) was sent, and he enjoined
it upon the Muhaajireen and Ansaar and those who followed them in
truth. The early generations used to gather for this purpose. When the
Companions of the Messenger of Allah (blessings and peace of Allah be
upon him) gathered together, they would tell one of their number to
recite whilst they listened. 'Umar ibn al-Khattaab (may Allah be
pleased with him) would say to Abu Moosa: Remind us of our Lord, and
Abu Moosa would recite Qur'aan whilst they listened.
End quote from Majmoo' al-Fataawa, 11/626
Secondly:
As listening in the complete sense is that in which one understands
and ponders, there is no doubt that the one who does that as much is
he is able is to be commended for what he does, and he is excused for
what he is incapable of. But what oneis incapable of should not be an
excuse for not doingwhat one is able to do of goodness. What is
possibleis not to be omitted because of what is difficult; in other
words, whatever a person is able to do of obligatory or mustahabb
actions is not waived because of what he is incapable of doing,
because Allah says (interpretation of the meaning): "So keep your duty
to Allaah and fear Him as much as you can"
[al-Taghaabun 64:16]. :-> :->
