The Passage Related With Prophet David (Pbuh)’s Dancing WithMusic in The Torah

2 Samuel, Chapter 6:5-23
The Ark Brought to Jerusalem
... Meanwhile, David and all the house of Israel were celebrating
before the Lord with all kinds of instruments made of fir wood, and
with lyres, harps, tambourines, castanets and cymbals ...
And David was dancing before the Lord with all his might , and David
was wearing a linen ephod. So David and all the house of Israel were
bringing up the ark of the Lord with shouting and the sound of the
trumpet . Then it happened as the ark of the Lord came into the
city of David that Michal the daughter of Saul looked out of the
window and saw King David leaping and dancing before the Lord ; and
she despised him in her heart.
... Further, he distributed to all the people, to all the multitude
of Israel, both to men and women, a cake of bread and one of dates
and one of raisins to each one. But when David returned to bless
his household, Michal the daughter of Saul came out to meet David
and said, "How the king of Israel distinguished himself today!… as
one of the foolish ones…"
So David said to Michal, "It was before the Lord, Who chose me above
your father and above all his house, to appoint me ruler over the
people of the Lord, over Israel; therefore I will celebrate before
the Lord. I will become even more undignified than this, and I will
be humiliated in my own eyes..."
* Saul's daughter Michal is one of the Prophet David (pbuh)'s wives.

The Way Of The Antichrist Has Caused The Deaths Of More Than 1 Billion People

Our Prophet (saas) has emphasized the scale of the corruption of the
antichrist and has warned all Muslims against this danger:
There have been no creation (creating more trouble) than the
antichrist , from the creation of Adam to the Last Hour.
(Al-Barzanji, Al-Isha'ah li-ashrat al-sa'ah, 8th. Edition, p. 225)
All the events our Prophet (saas) foretold in the hadiths as
portents of the coming of the antichrist have come about one after
the other. Our Prophet (saas) foretold that the way of the
antichrist would make people irreligious. Today, 99% of people are
under the influence of scourges brought about by irreligion and
showing that the antichrist is at work, such as wars, conflicts,
anarchy, terror, the slaughter of the innocent, murder and a rising
suicide rate. Our Prophet (saas) described the kind of environment
the antichrist would cause as follows in other hadiths:
... ... There will be much strife, disorder and insurrection (in
those times) AND PEOPLE WILL KILL ONE ANOTHER. People kill
themselves, and mischief prevails all over the world. At such a
troubled time... THE ACCURSED ANTICHRIST ... will appear.. (Ibn
al-Athir, al-Nihayah, vol. 1, p. 131)
He said: "The Day of Judgment will draw nigh, good deeds will be
lacking, people will adopt excessive parsimony and greed, and there
will be much turmoil."
The companions asked, "What is turmoil?"
"Killing, killing!" replied the Prophet (saas). (Bukhari, Vol. 13, p. 6023)
The 20 th century was one of terrible wars, the like of which had
never been seen before. Under the effect of Darwinist, materialist,
communist and fascist ideologies, the way of the antichrist caused
thousands of cities and towns to be destroyed in the First and
Second World Wars, more than 1 billion deaths from hunger, neglect,
disease, poverty, suicide and slaughter and at least as many again
to be injured or disabled.
Vast masses of people were killed in the air bombing used for the
first time in the Second World War, and many cities were devastated.
Trustworthy hadiths say that the dajjal will make use of the
airplane technology.
The earth will be spread out beneath his feet like a ram's hide is
spread out … (Mustadrak al-Hakim, 4: 529-530)
Antichrist goes as fast as the wind sweeping clouds before it.
(Muslim, Kitab al-Fitan: 110)
The characters of fascist and communist psychopathic dictators such
as Hitler, Mussolini, Stalin, Lenin and Mao that the way of the
antichrist used as tools in this slaughter are all based on
Darwinism. They all thought, in the light of Darwinist teachings
that represent the fundamental idea of the way of the antichrist,
that human beings are a species of animal and believed that
societies could progress through waging war.
They all explicitly stated their devotion to Darwin's teachings and
admitted in speeches and writings that their philosophies and world
views were founded on Darwin and his theory of evolution.
In his reply on 19 December, 1860, (regarding Darwin' Origin of
Species) Marx wrote to Engels, "This book contains the basis in
nature for our view. (J. D. Bernal, Marx & Science, New York,
International Publishers, 1952, p. 17)
Stalin expressed the importance he attached to Darwin's ideas in these words:
"There are three things that we do to disabuse the minds of our
seminary students. We had to teach them the age of the earth, the
geologic origin, and Darwin's teachings." (Kent Hovind, The False
Religion of Evolution,

been published on the internet.])
TORTURE, GENOCIDE AND RAPE ARE ACTIONS OF THE WAY OF THE ANTICHRIST
THE WAY OF THE ANTICHRIST IS AT WORK
THE WAY OF THE ANTICHRIST HAS CAUSED THE DEATHS OF MORE THAN 1 BILLION PEOPLE

Lizard that Walks on Water: Basilisk

If someone talks about "walking on water", you would think that he
has a great imagination or that it could only be possible via
illusions. This ability, which is so impossible for us, is a very
common way of living for some living creatures.
There are living creatures that walk on water or stroll on the
water surface safely without even realizing concepts such as
buoyancy of water, laws of surface tension, weight, length and
density.
This lizard called "basilik" which lives in Central America is one
of the miraculous creatures that walks on water.
It jumps into water when it senses a danger,
It stands on its back feet on the water and begins to run on the
surface of the water.
Its physics of running on water is very perfect.
And the secret of this miracle is in the cavities filled with air
that forms underneath its feet as it runs.
Its feet have scaled whisks that momentarily captures air and
prevents the animal from sinking.
Therefore, the basiliks walk on air instead of walking on water. The
only thing it needs to do is to be as fast as it can to avoid the
air package being ruptured until it takes the next step.
However, the basilik reaches a speed of 12 kilometer per hour while
running on water as if it knows this. And it can pass over a 40
meter long pool without sinking.
If the lizard does not withdraw its foot from the hole formed when
it compresses its foot on water, its foot can sink. In order to
pull the foot out of the water, the animal needs to overcome the
bonding between the water and its foot. Just as the animal pushes
down, the toes on its foot are pulled up together with the foot.
This means that when the animal pulls its foot from the hole with
speed, only air is formed around it. For a human being to accomplish
what is done by the basiliks lizard, he would need to run 104 km per
hour and consume 15 times more energy than he normally does, which
is quite impossible with current circumstances.
As it is seen, the basiliks can only stand with the help of detailed
calculations. However, the basiliks lack the consciousness and
intelligence to make such a calculation.
For example, it is a clear fact that it cannot calculate the grams
of weight required so it can stand on water, the speed at which it
can benefit from surface tension or the structure of its feet to
ensure not getting wet, and that it cannot take the precautions
related to these and make the required changes in its body.
However, if you ask the opinion of an evolutionist on this matter,
they would tell you that blind coincidences might have given the
basiliks such an ability. Of course, it is impossible that these
illogical approaches explain the complex systems that require an
order to work perfectly.
There is a clear plan and calculation here and this calculation
belongs to Allah. And Allah reveals as follows in one verse:
... Every single thing is before His Sight. (Surat ar-Ra'd, 8)

Fathwa, - Why Hijab?

Question:
Why Hijab?
Answer:

The Qur�anic verse, �Say to believing women, that they cast down their
eyes and guard their private parts, and reveal not their adornment
save such as is outward; and let them drape their headcoverings over
their bosoms, and not reveal their adornment . . .� (Qur�an 24:31) is
a specific requirement for Muslim women to cover their hair.
The word �headcoverings� (Ar. singular khimar, plural khumur), more
familiar in our times as the hijab, is a word of well-known
signification among scholars of Arabic, at their forefront the authors
of the classical lexical reference dictionaries like Zabidi�s
encyclopedic Taj al-�arus or Mutarrizi�s al-Mughrib, both of which
define khimar as �a woman�s headcovering�; or Fayumi�s al-Misbah or
Fayruzabadi�s al-Qamus, which both define it as �a cloth with which a
woman covers her head.� The Taj al-�arus also notes that a man's
turban is sometimes referred to as a khimar �because a man covers his
head with it in like manner as a woman covers her head with her khimar
when he disposes it in the Arab manner, turning part of it under the
jaws nearly in the same manner in which a woman disposes her khimar.�
These authorities are cited in the eight-volume Arabic-English Lexicon
of Edward William Lane, who describes the khimar as �a woman�s muffler
or veil with which she covers her head and the lower part of her
face.�
There is no other lexical sense in which the word khimar may be
construed. The wording of the command, however, �and let them drape
their headcoverings over their bosoms,� sometimes confuses
nonspecialists in the sciences of the Qur�an, and in truth,
interpreting the Qur�an does sometimes require in-depth knowledge of
the historical circumstances in which the various verses were
revealed. In this instance, the elliptical form of the divine command
is because women at the time of the revelation wore their headcovers
tied back behind their necks, as some village women still do in Muslim
countries, leaving the front of the neck bare, as well as the opening
(Ar. singular jayb, plural juyub, translated as �bosoms� in the above
verse) at the top of the dress. The Islamic revelation confirmed the
practice of covering the head, understood from the use of the word
khimar in the verse, but also explained that the custom of the time
was not sufficient and that women were henceforth to tie the headcover
in front and let it drape down to conceal the throat and the dress�s
opening at the top.
This is why Muslim women cover their heads: because the Qur�an
unambiguously orders them to, and there is no qualifying text or
hadith or even other lexical possibility to show that the Qur�anic
order might mean anything besides obligation. Rather, the hadiths all
bear this meaning out, Muslim scholars are in unanimous agreement
about it and have been from the time of the Prophet (Allah bless him
and give him peace) down to our own day, and it is even known by all
non-Muslim peoples about them.
There was thus nothing new or surprising in the Islamic legal opinion
promulgated in December 2003 by the Grand Mufti of Egypt, Sheikh �Ali
Jumu�a of the Egyptian Fatwa Authority (Dar al-Ifta� al-Misriyya) that
�the hijab is an obligation on all Muslim female adults, as firmly
established in the Holy Qur�an and the Prophet Muhammad�s hadiths, as
well as unanimously agreed upon by Muslim scholars.� He pointed out
that unlike the cross sometimes worn by Christians, or the skullcap
worn by Jews, the hijab is not a �symbol� of Islam but rather that
�Islam orders female adults to wear hijab as obligatory religious
clothing.� It is part of every Muslim woman�s religious practice.
Some ink and words have been spent by some contemporary ethnic Muslim
women writers (and an occasional convert) trying to do away with the
covering of hair mandated by the Qur�an and the unanimous consensus of
Muslims. They say�accurately enough, for a Muslim does not leave Islam
merely by committing a sin�that one can take off the hijab and still
remain a Muslim. But such a person remains a bad Muslim, who deems
aping non-Muslims better than practicing Islam. For what? The Supreme
Being knows our benefit better than we do; and if one believes in
Allah, Master of every atom in the universe, it is only plain sense to
follow Him. When all else fails, read the directions. Those who refuse
to wear the hijab are acting out of ignorance or bad faith, and when
one meets them, one seldom finds they manage to practice the other
aspects of their religion. In the end, it is a matter of hearts. The
heart that is alive has a sense of eternity, and knows that the
infinite is greater than the finite. The heart that is dead follows
the trends of the trend makers because it has turned its back on the
Divine and forgotten endless time.

Fathwa, - When must a Muslim girl wear the hijab?

Question:
When is it really permissible for a Muslim girl to wear the hijab?
Does it matter when she herself is ready to wear it or is there an age
where you would have to?
Answer:
In the Name of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful
Praise be to Allah. May the peace and blessings of Allah shower upon
our Beloved Messenger, his family, companions, and those who follow
them.
Dear Sister,
It is permissible for a Muslim girl to wear hijab any time she
pleases, even if she is not old enough to have to wear it. As to when
she has to wear it, a Muslim female is required to observe hijab as
soon as she reaches the age of puberty, that is, when she sees her
first menstruation. However, it is highly desirable that she be
introduced to hijab before puberty. Sometimes, if a girl waits until
she reaches puberty, then puts on hijab all at once, she can find it
difficult. Hijab is best introduced in stages, say, first a scarf,
then the long sleeves, long skirts, etc. If it is done this way, along
with strengthening one's iman and love for Allah, then insha'Allah
when puberty comes, there should be no difficulty.
As to when you feel ready, readiness can vary with the individual.
Some people feel ready right away, and some take a lifetime, and some
never feel ready. So don't base your decision to wear hijab completely
on readiness. If you do, you may miss out on the immediate benefits of
wearing it.
Strengthen your iman, establish your prayers, and constantly remember
Allah. Make small but significant changes to your wardrobe, like
making your clothes longer and looser. When you cover for prayer, keep
your scarf on longer, instead of taking it off. These are steps that
can increase your himma or enthusiasm for hijab. And keep in mind that
the Prophet, peace be upon him, said in a Hadith Qudsi, "God Most High
says I am as my Servant thinks I am. I am with him when he makes
mention of Me. If he makes mention of Me by himself, I make mention of
him to Myself. If he makes mention of Me in an assembly, I make
mention of him in an assembly better than his. If he comes closer to
Me a hand span, I come closer to him arms-length, if he comes to Me
walking, I come to him running."
And Allah alone gives success. And Allah knows best.

Fathwa, - Good Hijab, Bad Hijab?

Question:
Is it haram or not preferable to wear colorful ornately decorated
hijabs? Should one stick to solid colors? I have oftentimes heard
different views. I was told that wearing solid, colored, undecorated
scarves is "good hijab" because it is more modest. On the other hand,
I have heard others argue that wearing beautiful scarves is being
modest enough, and that although the ornate scarves are obviously more
pleasing to the eye than the solid colored scarves, that is acceptable
because women should not look horrible either. I am confused. What
then really constitutes good hijab?
Answer:
In the Name of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful Praise be to Allah.
May the peace and blessings of Allah shower upon our Beloved
Messenger, his family, companions, and those who follow them.
Our understanding of hijab comes from two verses of the Qur'an. The
first, in Surat al-Nur, reads, �And say to the believing women that
they should lower their gaze and guard their modesty; that they should
not display their beauty and ornaments except what must ordinarily
appear thereof; that they should draw their veils over their bosoms
and not display their beauty except to their husbands, their fathers,
their husbands' fathers, their sons, their husbands' sons, their
brothers, or their brothers' sons or their sisters' sons, or their
women or the servants whom their right hands possess, or male servants
free of physical needs, or small children who have no sense of the
shame of sex, and that they should not strike their feet in order to
draw attention to their hidden ornaments. And O you Believers, turn
you all together towards Allah, that you may attain Bliss.� (Quran
24:31).
The other verse in Surat al-Ahzab says, �O Prophet, tell your wives
and your daughters and the women of the believers to draw their cloaks
close round them (when they go abroad). That will be better, so that
they may be recognized and not annoyed. Allah is ever Forgiving,
Merciful.� (Quran 33:59)
One of the most famous hadith proofs for hijab is the following,
"A'isha (may Allah be pleased with her) reported that Asma�, the
daughter of Abu Bakr (may Allah be pleased with him) came to the
Messenger of Allah (may peace and blessings be upon him) while wearing
thin clothing. He approached her and said: 'O Asma�! When a girl
reaches the menstrual age, it is not proper that anything should
remain exposed except this and this. He pointed to the face and
hands." [Abu Dawud]
These are the evidences for hijab. As to what form the hijab takes,
that can vary depending upon local custom. Scholars are unanimous that
the hijab must cover every part of the woman's body, except for the
face and hands. Some Hanafi scholars say that the face, hands, and
feet are all exempted. The clothing used to cover the body should be
opaque and loose-fitting. In other words, the color of the skin and
the contours of the body should not show through the clothing. The
head should be covered with some form of a khimar or head veil. The
head veil should cover the hair, neck, ears, and bosom. Furthermore,
women should not make themselves up or use perfume when they go out.
Using makeup and perfume would defeat the whole purpose of hijab. It
is easy to see how the West has built a whole industry revolving
around making the female as seductive as possible with makeup,
perfume, revealing clothing, and constantly changing hair styles. This
is not an image that we Muslim women want.
As to what fabrics, colors, or styles of clothing you use, that is up
to you, as long as you have satisfied these basic requirements. It is
recommended to wear a jilbab, or over-garment. However, a long,
loose-fitting tunic with a long skirt also satisfies the requirement
for covering the body modestly. If you look at styles in the Muslim
world, you will see everything from an Arab abaya to an Iranian
chador, from Afghani burqas to Malaysian skirt and tunic sets, from
smart business suits to Indo-Pak shalvar qamiz. You will see a
diversity of fabrics, colors, and designs. All of these can fulfill
the basic requirement of hijab, which is the modest covering of the
hair and body. As far as color is concerned, a lot of that is
cultural. While wearing black in Iran or the Arab world is customary,
in Africa and Southeast Asia it is customary to be colorful and this
is not inappropriate. Diversity is one of the strengths of the Umma. I
don't think it's appropriate for people to tell you that if you wear a
black hijab, your hijab is good, but if you wear a hijab with flowers
on it, your hijab is bad. As long as you are modest and have not
dressed in a way that will attract attention to yourself, you are
fine. You can tell if you are wearing something that is showy or
flashy. What colors you wear are entirely up to you. Just use
discretion.
And Allah knows best. And Allah alone gives success.

The World of Jinn -I

The Quran and Sunnah )Prophet's sayings and actions( indicate that the
jinn exist, and that there is a purpose for their existence in this
life, which is to worship Allaah Alone, with no partner or associate.
Almighty Allaah Says )what means(:"And I did not create the jinn and
mankind except to worship Me."]Quran 51:56[ and also )what means(:"O
company of jinn and mankind, did there not come to you messengers from
among you, relating to you My verses …?"]Quran 6:130[
The world of the jinn is an independent and separate world, with its
own distinct nature and features that are hidden from the world of
humans. Jinn and humans have some things in common, such as the
possession of understanding and the choice between the way of good and
the way of evil. The word jinn comes from an Arabic root meaning
"hidden from sight". Allaah Says )what means(:"… Indeed, he )Satan(
sees you, he and his tribe, from where you do not see them. …"]Quran
7:27[
Allaah has told us in the Noble Quran the essence from which the jinn
were created. He Says )what means(:"And the jinn We created before
from scorching fire."]Quran 15:27[
And also )what means(:"And He created the jinn from a smokeless flame
of fire."]Quran 55:15[
According to one prophetic narration that was narrated by 'Aa'ishahthe
Prophetsaid:"The angels were created from light, the jinn were created
from fire, and Aadam was created from that which has been described to
you )soil(."]Muslim[
Types of jinn
Allaah, the Most Exalted, has created different types of jinn. Among
them are some that can take on different forms, such as dogs and
snakes; some who are like flying winds with wings; and some that can
travel and rest. The Messenger of Allaahsaid:"The jinn are of three
types: a type that has wings, they fly through the air; a type that
looks like snakes and dogs; and a type that stops for a rest then
resumes its journey."]At-Tabaraani and others[
The jinn and the Children of Aadam
Every individual among the Children of Aadam has a jinn who has been
appointed to be his constant companion )Qareen(. Ibn Mas'oodsaid: "The
Messenger of Allaahsaid:"There is not one of you who does not have a
jinn appointed to be his constant companion." They )present
companions( said: "And you too, O Messenger of Allaah?"Hesaid:"And me
too, but Allaah has helped me and he has submitted )became a believing
Muslim(, so that he only helps me to do good."]Muslim[
Their powers
Almighty Allaah has given the jinn powers that He has not given to
humans. He has told us about some of their powers, such as the ability
to move and travel quickly. A genie from among the jinn guaranteed to
the Prophet Sulaymaan )Solomon(that he would bring the throne of the
Queen of Yemen toJerusalemin a moment faster than that needed for a
man to get up from where he was sitting. Allaah says )what means(:"A
powerful one from among the jinn said, "I will bring it to you before
you rise from your place, and indeed, I am for this ]task[ strong and
trustworthy." Said one who had knowledge from the Scripture, "I will
bring it to you before your glance returns to you." And when ]Solomon[
saw it placed before him, he said, "This is from the favor of my Lord
..."]Quran 27:39-40[
The food and drink of the jinn
The jinn eat and drink. Ibn Mas'oodsaid: "The Messenger of
Allaahsaid:"One the jinn called me, and I went with him and recited
Quran for them.' He took me and showed me the traces of where they had
been and the traces of their fires. They )his fellow jinn( asked him
for food and he said: "You can have every bone on which the name of
Allaah has been mentioned that comes into your possession, as meat,
and all the droppings as food for your animals." The Prophetsaid, "So
do not use ]these things[ for cleaning yourselves ]after relieving
oneself[, for they are the food and provision of your
brothers.'"]Muslim[
The believing jinn may eat any bone on which the name of Allaah has
been mentioned, because the Messengerdid not permit them to have
anything on which Allaah's name has not been mentioned - those are for
the disbelievers among the jinn.
The beasts of the jinn
According to the narration that was narrated by Ibn Mas'oodthat we
have quoted above, the jinn asked the Messengerfor provision, and he
said to them: "…and ]you can have[ all the droppings as food for your
animals."
The dwelling-places of the jinn
The jinn live on this earth where we do. They are mostly to be found
in ruins and unclean places like bathrooms, dunghills, garbage dumps
and graveyards. Hence, the Prophettaught us to take precautions when
entering such places, by reciting the Athkaar )supplications(
prescribed by Islam. One of these was reported by Anas Ibn Maalikwho
said: "When the Messenger of Allaahused to relieve himself, he would
say:"Allaahumma inni a'oothu bika min al-khubuthi wa'l-khabaa'ith )O
Allaah, I seek refuge with You from the evil ones, male and
female(.'"]Al-Bukhaari[

The World of Jinn -II

Jinn: Muslims and non-Muslims
Almighty Allaah tells us in the Noble Quran that some of the jinn said
)what means(:"And among us are Muslims ]in submission to Allaah[, and
among us are the unjust. And whoever has become Muslim — those have
sought out the right course. But as for the unjust, they will be, for
Hell, firewood.'"]Quran 72:14-15[
The Muslims among the jinn are of different levels as regards
righteousness and piety. Allaah Says )what means(:"And among us are
the righteous, and among us are ]others[ not so; we were ]of[ divided
ways."]Quran 72:11[
The story of the first jinn who became Muslim was narrated by
'Abdullaah Ibn 'Abbaaswho said: "The Prophetwent out with a group of
his Companions )( heading for the marketplace of 'Ukaath. This was
when the devils were prevented from getting any news from heaven, and
shooting stars had been sent against them. The devils went back to
their people, who said, 'What is the matter with you?' They said, 'We
cannot get news from heaven, and shooting stars were sent against us.'
Their people said, 'Nothing is stopping you from hearing news from
heaven except some new event that must have happened. Go and look in
the east and the west of the earth, and see if you can find out what
it is that is stopping you from hearing news from heaven."
Those who went out in the direction of Tihaamah came upon the
Prophetin )a place called( Nakhlah, when he was on his way to 'Ukaath,
and found him leading his Companions in Fajr )dawn( prayer. When they
heard the Quran, they listened to it and said, 'By Allaah, this is
what is stopping us from hearing news from heaven.' When they went
back to their people, they said as Allaah tells us in the Quran )what
means(:"Indeed, we have heard an amazing Quran ]i.e. recitation[. It
guides to the right course, and we have believed in it. And we will
never associate with our Lord anyone."]Quran 72:1-2[
Then Allaah revealed to His Prophetthe verse )which means(:"Say, ]O
Muhammad[, "It has been revealed to me that a group of the jinn
listened and said, "Indeed, we have heard an amazing
Quran..."]Al-Bukhaari[
Their reckoning on the Day of Resurrection
The jinn will be called to account on the day of Resurrection.
Mujaahidsaid, concerning the verse )which means(:"…but the jinn have
already known that they ]who made such claims[ will be brought ]to
punishment[."]Quran 37:158[
"They will be brought to judgement."]Al-Bukhaari[
Protection from the harm of the jinn
Because the jinn can see us while we cannot see them, the
Prophettaught us many ways to protect ourselves from their harm, such
as seeking refuge with Allaah from the accursed Shaytaan )Satan(,
reciting chapters Al-Falaq and An-Naas )the last two chapters of the
Quran(, and reciting the words taught by Allaah in the Quran )which
mean(:"And say, "My Lord, I seek refuge in You from the incitements of
the devils. And I seek refuge in You, my Lord, lest they be present
with me."]Quran 23:97-98[
Saying Bismillaah )in the Name of Allaah( before entering one's home,
before eating or drinking, and before having intercourse with one's
spouse will also keep the devil from entering the house or partaking
with a person in his food, drink and sexual activity.
Similarly, mentioning the name of Allaah before entering the toilet or
taking off one's clothes will prevent the jinn from seeing a person's
private parts or harming him, as the Prophetsaid:"To put a barrier
that will prevent the jinn from seeing the 'Awrah )parts of the body
that must be covered in Islam( of the Children of Aadam, let any one
of you say 'Bismillaah' when entering the toilet."]At-Tirmithi[
Strength of faith and religion in general will also prevent the jinn
from harming a person, so much so that if they were to fight, the one
who has faith would win. 'Abdullaah Ibn Mas'oodsaid: "A man from among
the Companions of Muhammadmet a male jinn. They wrestled, and the man
knocked down the jinn. The man said to him, 'You look small and skinny
to me, and your forearms look like the front paws of a dog. Do all the
jinn look like this, or only you?' He said, 'No, by Allaah, among them
I am strong, but let us wrestle again, and if you defeat me I will
teach you something that will do you good.' The man said, 'Fine.' He
)the jinn( said, 'Recite )the verse, which means(:"Allaah- there is no
deity except Him, the Ever- Living, the Sustainer of ]all[ existence
…"]Quran 2: 255[
The man said, 'Fine.' He said, 'You will never recite this in your
house but the Satan will come out of it like a donkey breaking wind,
and he will never come back in until the next morning.'" ]Ad-Daarimi[

Fataawa Regarding Mother's Day-II

5- Shaykh 'Abdul-'Azeez ibn Baazsaid,
I read the article that was published by An-Nadwah Journal, on
30-11-1384 AH, under the title "Honoring the Mother and Honoring the
Family", and felt that the writer appreciated, from many perspectives,
the Western innovation of fixing a day in the year to celebrate the
mother. He mentioned in his article something of which the advocates
of that day were heedless. I mean the state of melancholy and grief
that afflicts the motherless children when seeing their friends
celebrating and honoring their mothers. He, instead, proposed to
extend the celebration to include all family members, apologizing for
the fact that Islam did not bring this day, because the Islamic
Sharee'ah has made honoring the mother an obligation.
The writer did well by his apology on behalf of Islam on one hand, and
the mention of the evil effect of this day of which its inventors were
heedless. However, at the same time, he did not refer to the
disagreement of this religious innovation with the clear texts that
were narrated on the authority of the Messenger of Islamand their
resulting harm and the imitation they imply of the polytheists and
disbelievers. By this brief word, I would like to bring to the mind of
that writer and others, the evil of this religious innovation that was
invented by the enemies and ignorant people of Islam to the extent
that they defamed it ]i.e., Islam[, and caused people to have aversion
to it. This normally results in confusion and division, whose harmful
effects and corruption are known only to Allaah The Almighty.
It is proven, in authentic Hadeeths, that the Prophetwarned us about
religious innovations, and imitating the enemies of Allaah, namely the
Jews and Christians and polytheists. A mention may be made of his
statement:"Whoever introduces anything new in our matter ]i.e.
religion[, which does not originally belong to it, it will be
rejected."]Al-Bukhaari and Muslim[ According to another version by
Muslim:"Whoever does something that is not supported by our matter
]religion[, it will be rejected."]Muslim[
Furthermore, the Prophetwould say in his Friday Khutbah )sermon(:"To
proceed, the best speech is the Book of Allaah; the best guidance is
the guidance of Muhammad; and the worst of matters are the innovations
]in religion[; and every religious innovation leads to
misguidance."]Muslim[
No doubt, fixing a day in the year to celebrate and honor the mother
or the family is among the innovations of matters ]in religion[, which
was not done by the Prophetnor by his Companions. So, it is obligatory
to leave it and warn people not to participate in it, and to be
satisfied instead with what has been ordained by Allaah The Almighty
and His Messenger.
It has already been clarified that the writer referred to the fact
that the Islamic Sharee'ah has ordered the Muslims to honor the mother
and constantly encourages dutifulness to her. Indeed, he has told the
truth in this respect. It is obligatory for the Muslims to be
satisfied with what has been ordained for them by Allaah The Almighty,
as regards dutifulness to the mother, honoring her, doing good to her
and obeying her in what is good at all times. Meanwhile, they have to
beware of the innovations of religious matters, of which Allaah The
Almighty warned them, since they lead them to imitate the enemies of
Allaah, follow in their footsteps and the innovations which they like.
This is not unique to the mother in particular, since Allaah The
Almighty ordered the Muslims to be dutiful to both parents, to honor
them, do good to them, and maintain all kinship ties; He also warned
them of undutifulness and severing ties. Allaah The Almighty has
favored the mother with more care and dutifulness because she cares
for the child more, and her suffering in pregnancy, birth and
breastfeeding is greater. In confirmation of this, Allaah The Almighty
Says )what means(:
·}And your Lord has decreed that you not worship except Him, and to
parents, good treatment.{]Quran 17:23[
·}And We have enjoined upon man ]care[ for his parents. His mother
carried him, ]increasing her[ in weakness upon weakness, and his
weaning is in two years. Be grateful to Me and to your parents; to Me
is the ]final[ destination.{]Quran: 31:14[
·}So would you perhaps, if you turned away, cause corruption on earth
and sever your ]ties of[ relationship? Those ]who do so[ are the ones
that Allaah has cursed, so He deafened them and blinded their
vision.{]Quran 47:22-23[
It was narrated in an authentic Hadeeth that the Messenger of
Allaahsaid:"Should I not tell you about the greatest of the grave
major sins?"They ]the Companions[ said, "Yes, O Messenger of Allaah."
Hesaid:"To associate partners with Allaah ]in worship[, to be
undutiful to parents."]When he said so[ he was reclining. Then hesat
up and said:"Behold! ]I warn you about[ giving a forged statement!
Behold! ]I warn you of[ giving a false witness!"
Another Hadeeth states: "A man asked the Messenger of Allaahsaying, 'O
Messenger of Allaah, who is most entitled to my best companionship?'
The Prophetsaid:'Your mother.'The man said, 'Who comes next?' The
Prophetsaid:'Your mother.'The man further asked, 'Who comes next?' The
Prophetsaid:'Your mother.'The man asked ]for the fourth time[, 'Who
comes next?' The Prophetsaid'Your father, and then the next of kin.'"
The Prophetfurther said:"No severer, i.e. one who severs kinship ties,
shall enter Paradise."
It was narrated in an authentic Hadeeth that the Prophetsaid:"Whoever
wants his means of sustenance to be expanded for him or his lifetime
to be lengthened should maintain his kinship ties."]Muslim[
There are many famous Quranic verses and Prophetic Hadeeths that
support the obligation of dutifulness to parents, maintaining kinship
ties and confirming the mother's right. However, what we have
mentioned is sufficient. They clearly indicate the obligation of
honoring both parents, showing respect to them, doing good to them as
well as to all kith and kin constantly. They also guide to the fact
that undutifulness to parents and severing kinship ties are among the
most odious attributes and grave major sins which bring about the fire
]of Hell[ and the wrath of ]Allaah[ The Compeller; we ask Allaah to
save us from that.
Surely, this is more overwhelming and greater than the Western
innovation of favoring the mother with only one day of honoring in the
year, which leads to neglecting her all the remaining days of the year
and turning away from the right of the father and all kith and kin. It
is clear for those who are intelligent that this measure results in
great corruption, disagrees with the law of the Wisest of all the
wise, and leads to falling into evil of which His trustworthy
Messengerwarned.
Along with this innovation is the celebration held by a lot of people,
namely, Mawlids, commemoration of national independence or accessionto
the throne, and so on. These all belong to the religious innovations
in which a lot of Muslims imitate the enemies of Allaah The Almighty,
and pay no heed to the warnings and prohibitions that are mentioned in
the purified Sharee'ah.
This confirms the authentic Hadeeth where the Messenger of
Allaahsaid:"You will follow the ways of those who were before you very
closely ]i.e. so completely and literally[ that if they should go into
the hole of a lizard, you too will go there."The Companionsasked,"O
Messenger of Allaah! Do you mean the Jews and the Christians?" He
replied:"Who else?"]Al-Bukhaari and Muslim[
According to another version:"My Ummah will copy the deeds of the
previous nations, span by span and cubit by cubit ]i.e., inch by
inch[."They ]the Companions[ asked, "O Messenger of Allaah! Do you
mean by those ]nations[ the Persians and the Romans?" He said:"Who can
it be other than them?"]Al-Bukhaari[
Indeed, what was foretold by the Prophetcame true. The people of this
Ummah, except whomever Allaah willed not to, have imitated those who
were before them, from among the Jews, Christians and Magians, and
others like them of the disbelievers, in many of their morals and
deeds, to the extent that Islam has become alien to them; many people
regard the ways, morals and deeds of the disbelievers better than what
has been brought by Islam. Good has turned into evil, and evil into
good, the Sunnah into religious innovation, and the religious
innovation into Sunnah, in the sight of the majority of the people,
simply because of ignorance, and turning away from what has been
brought by Islam in terms of noble morals and righteous deeds. We ask
Allaah to help Muslims understand their religion, to set right their
affairs and guide their leaders, and to direct our scholars and
writers to publicize the good that our religion has come with, and to
warn about the religious innovations and invented heresies which
defame it and cause people to have aversion to it; He has power over
all things. May Allaah confer blessing and peace upon His slave and
Messenger - Muhammad- and upon his family and Companions, and those
who follow his way and emulate the guidance of his Sunnah till the Day
of Judgment.
According to some scholars, the man should do his best before Allaah
The Almighty when attempting to set right the affairs of his wife. The
Messenger of Allaah,said:"Whoever imitates a people becomes one of
them."

Fataawa Regarding Mother's Day-I

1- The scholars of the Permanent Committeesaid,
All perfect praise be to Allaah, the Lord of the Worlds and may His
peace and blessing be upon His Messenger, his family and Companions.
First: The word "'Eed" ]festival[ is a term given to the occasion of
assembly which customarily recurs annually, monthly, weekly or so on.
It implies a recurring day such as the day of 'Eed Al-Fitr, Friday,
and so on, the assembly on that day and the deeds wherewith it is
held, in terms of acts of worship and customs.
Second: Any of the days that are intended for worship, drawing closer
to or honoring Allaah, seeking reward, or imitating the people of the
pre-Islamic days or their likes from among the disbelievers, is an
invented religious innovation, that is forbidden ]under Sharee'ah[, as
being included in the general statement of the Prophet:"Whoever
introduces anything new in our matter ]i.e. religion[, which does not
originally belong to it, it will be rejected."]Al-Bukhaari and Muslim[
A typical example is celebrating the Prophetic Mawlid )birthday(,
Mother's Day and National Day. The first implies a religious
innovation of an act of worship, which was not ordained by Allaah The
Almighty on the one hand, and an imitation of the Christians and
others like them from the disbelievers. The second and the third imply
imitation of the disbelievers. However, if the occasion is intended to
organize work in a way that serves the benefit of the Ummah )nation(
and adjusts the affairs of its people, like holding a traffic week,
putting a timetable at the beginning of the academic year, meeting
with employees to organize work, and so on, whose aim is not to come
closer to, honor or worship ]Allaah[, it then belongs to the ordinary
innovations which are not included in the statement of the Prophet.
There is nothing wrong with it, and it is even valid under the
Sharee'ah.
With Allaah The Almighty lies success; and may Allaah confer blessing
and peace upon our Prophet - Muhammad- and his household and
Companions.
2- They also said,
It is impermissible to celebrate what is called "Mother's Day" or
other such innovated days ]festivals[, due to the statement of the
Prophet:"Whoever does something that is not supported by our matter
]religion[, it will be rejected."]Muslim[ The celebration of Mother's
Day neither belongs to the Sunnah of the Prophetnor was it done by his
Companionsnor the righteous predecessors of this Ummah. On the
contrary, it is a religious innovation that also involves imitation of
the disbelievers.
3- Shaykh Saalih Al-Fawzaansaid,
Muslims imitate the disbelievers in many things, including matters of
worship, such as polytheistic deeds like building over graves,
installing tombs over them and exceeding the due limits in the matter
of the graves in general. The Messenger of Allaahsaid:"May Allaah send
His curse on the Jews and Christians, who took the graves of their
prophets as places of worship."He said that whenever a righteous man
died among them, they used to build a place of worship over his grave
and paint pictures in it and say that they would be considered )by
Allaah( as the worst of people on the Day of Judgment. Because of
exceeding the due limits in the matter of graves, the people fell into
major Shirk )polytheism(, which is well-known among all people.
Going back to the matter at hand, such practices give rise to such
deviation due to imitating the Jews and Christians in matters like the
celebration of polytheistic and innovated festivals, for example the
celebration of Mawlids )birthdays( on the birth-date of the Messenger
of Allaahand the celebration of the birthdays of presidents and kings.
These kinds of polytheistic innovated events might be called certain
"Days" or "Weeks", like National Day, Mother's Day, Cleanliness Week,
and so on; all these have come to the Muslims via the disbelievers, as
in Islam, there are no more than two 'Eeds )festivals(: 'Eed Al-Fitr
and 'Eed Al-Adh'ha, and anything else is a religious innovation and an
imitation of the disbelievers. So, it is obligatory for the Muslims to
take heed of this and not be deceived by the large number of people
who do it, from among those who belong to Islam but are ignorant of
the real nature of Islam, which causes them to fall into these
mistakes because of their ignorance, as well as those who are not
ignorant of the real nature of Islam, which means that they make these
mistakes intentionally. In the latter case of people who adopt such
practices intentionally, the calamity is even more severe. Allaah The
Almighty Says )what means(:}There has certainly been for you in the
Messenger of Allaah an excellent pattern for anyone whose hope is in
Allaah and the Last Day and ]who[ remembers Allaah often.{]Quran
33:21[
4- When Shaykh Muhammad ibn Saalih Al-'Uthaymeenwas asked about the
ruling on celebrating what is called Mother's Day, he gave the
following answer:
Indeed, all festivals ]and days[ that conflict with the
Sharee'ah-approved festivals are but innovated festivals which were
unknown among the righteous predecessors. Keeping in mind that their
source might be non-Muslim, they would then imply, besides their being
a religious innovation, an imitation of the enemies of Allaah The
Almighty.
The Sharee'ah-approved festivals are known among the Muslims, i.e.
'Eed Al-Fitr and 'Eed Al-Adh'ha, in addition to the weekly 'Eed, i.e.
Friday; and there are no festivals in Islam other than these three.
Any festivals that have been innovated other than these should be
rejected because they are invalid under the Sharee'ah of Allaah The
Almighty, due to the statement of the Prophet:"Whoever introduces
anything new in our matter ]i.e. religion[, which does not originally
belong to it, it will be rejected."]Al-Bukhaari and Muslim[ i.e. it
will be rejected by its originator and not accepted )by Allaah(.
According to another version:"Whoever does something that is not
supported by our matter ]religion[, it will be rejected."]Muslim[
Being so, it is impermissible, concerning the day mentioned in the
question, which is called Mother's Day, to do any rite that is
characteristic of 'Eed, like expressing delight and pleasure,
presenting gifts and such things. Moreover, it is obligatory for the
Muslim to cherish and be proud of his religion, and be satisfied with
what has been ordained by Allaah The Almighty for His slaves, without
addition or reduction. The Muslim should also not be a yes-man, who is
too submissive and follows whatever is called for. On the contrary, he
should form his independent personality according to the principles of
the Sharee'ah of Allaah The Almighty and follow that rather than
follow others. He should be a good pattern ]to be followed[ and not an
imitator ]of others[. This is because the Sharee'ah of Allaah - all
perfect praise be to Allaah - is perfect in all respects, as confirmed
by Allaah The Almighty in His saying )what means(:}This day I have
perfected for you your religion and completed My favor upon you and
have approved for you Islam as religion.{]Quran 5:3[
The mother deserves to be honored every day of the year. Her children
should care for her, look after her and obey her in anything that
leads to no disobedience of Allaah The Almighty, in every time and
place.

Dought & clear, - - - - Sifat al-Salaah (description of the prayer) - Ruling on prayer if one omits some obligatory parts out of ignorance orforgetfulness.

If a person makes a mistake in adhkaar that are obligatory in the
prayer, such as the dhikr when sitting between the two prostrations
and in the tashahhud – the first part of it – what is the ruling on
his prayer if he forgot or was unaware (that it is obligatory)? What
about previous prayers in which he made this mistake and does he have
t o repeat them?.
Praise be to Allaah.
Firstly:
The dhikr that comes between the two prostrations is one of the
Sunnahs of the prayer and is not obligatory. This has been discussed
previously in the answer to question no. 130981
Based on that, if a person omits it deliberately or out of ignorance,
that does not render his prayer invalid and he does not have to do
anything. If he forgot it although he usually does it, it is mustahabb
for him to do the two prostrations of forgetfulness before the salaam.
Shaykh Muhammad ibn Saalih al-'Uthaymeen (may Allah have mercy on him)
said: If a person omits one of the mustahabb words or actions out of
forgetfulness and he usually does it, then it is prescribed for him to
prostrate (the prostration of forgetfulness) to make up for this
omission that affected the perfection of the prayer but was not an
omission of something obligatory, because of the general meaning of
the words of the Prophet (blessings and peace of Allah be upon him) in
the hadeeth, "For every mistake there are two prostrations"– narrated
by Abu Dawood; it is a hasan hadeeth. InSaheeh Muslimit says: "If one
of you forgets, let him prostrate twice." As this is general in
meaning, if he omits a Sunnah that he does not usually do, then it is
not Sunnah for him to prostrate, because it never occurred to him to
do it.
End quote fromash-Sharh al-Mumti' 'ala Zaad al-Mustaqni', 3/333, 334
Secondly:
The first Tashahhud is one of the obligatory parts of the prayer
although it is not one of the pillars or essential parts, as was
explained previously in the answer to question no. 34570
If someone omits this obligatory part deliberately, his prayer is
rendered invalid, as you will see in the answer to question no. 9897.
If someone omits it because he forgot, then he has to do the
prostration of forgetfulness before the salaam. If someone omits it
because he is unaware of the ruling on it, he does not have to do
anything, because the one who is unaware is excused.
The evidence for the obligatory parts of the prayer being waived in
the case of forgetfulness, and that the prostration of forgetfulness
is required in this case, is the report narrated by al-Bukhaari (795)
and Muslim (570) from 'Abdullah ibn Buhaynah (may Allah be pleased
with him), according to which the Prophet (blessings and peace of
Allah be upon him) led them in praying Zuhr, then he stood up after
the first two rak'ahs and did not sit, and the people got up with him.
When he had finished the prayer and the people were waiting for him to
say the tasleem, he said takbeer whilst sitting and prostrated twice
before saying the salaam, then he said the salaam.
Ibn Qudaamah (may Allah have mercy on him) said, concerning one who
omitted the obligatory part deliberately: His prayer is rendered
invalid. But if he omitted it by mistake, he should do the prostration
of forgetfulness before he says the salaam, because of the report
narrated by 'Abdullah ibn Maalik ibn Buhaynah -- and he quoted the
hadeeth. Thus this idea is proven, and by analogy we apply the same
principle to all the obligatory parts (of the prayer).
End quote fromal-Kaafi, 1/273
And Allah knows best.

Dought & clear, - - - - Sifat al-Salaah (description of the prayer) - He translates the meanings of the words of the prayer and adhkaar to himself after saying them in Arabic.

Please could you tell me if what I am doing is permissible or not?
Arabic is not my mother tongue, and sometimes when I pray, after I say
something, I repeat it in English in my mind so as to increase my
focus (khushoo') and to focus more in my prayer. Hence for example
after I say "Sami'a Allahu liman hamidah" in Arabic, I repeat it in my
mind in English ("Allah hears those who praise Him"). Is this
permissible or not?.
Praise be to Allaah.
There is nothing wrong with what you are doing to focus on the
meanings of the words and adhkaar of the prayer in English after
saying them in Arabic. This comes under the heading of pondering the
meaning and keeping it in mind. That is so long as you do not utter
it; rather you say it to yourself in your mind, because the one who is
praying is not allowed to say these words in anything but Arabic if he
is able to say them in Arabic. And Allaah knows best.

Dought & clear, - - - - Sifat al-Salaah (description of the prayer) - Ruling on member of thecongregation leaving straight after the imam says the salaam.

When the congregational prayer ends and the salaam has been said at
the end of the prayer, when can the member of the congregation move?
Can he move before the imam turns around, or must he wait and not move
before him?.
Praise be to Allaah.
Once the imam has said the salaam, it is permissible for the person
who prayed behind him to move, whether the imam has turned to face the
congregation or has stayed where he is, or he has got up from his
place. But it is better for the person who prayed behind him to stay
put until the imam turns to face the congregation, because of the
possibility that the imam may be sitting so that he can do the two
prostrations of forgetfulness (sujood al-sahw) after saying the
tasleem at the end of the prayer. Even better than this is to get up
only after the imam has got up.
There is an indication that it is permissible to leave as soon as the
salaam has been said in the report narrated by al-Bukhaari (875) from
Umm Salamah (may Allaah be pleased with her) who said: When the
Messenger of Allaah(peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said
the salaam, the women got up when he finished his tasleem and he
stayed in his place for a while before getting up. One of the
narrators of the hadeeth said: We think, and Allaah knows best, that
this was so that the women could disperse before any of the men caught
up with them.
With regard to the report narrated by Muslim (426) from Anas (may
Allaah be pleased with him) who said: The Messenger of Allaah(peace
and blessings of Allaah be upon him) led us in prayer one day, and
when he had finished praying he turned to face us and said: "O people,
I am your imam, so do not go ahead of me in bowing, prostrating,
standing or finishing, for I can see you from in front of me and
behind me," what is meant by "finishing" here is the salaam.
Al-Nawawi (may Allaah have mercy on him) said: The words of the
Prophet(peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him): "so do not go
ahead of me in bowing, prostrating, standing or finishing" indicate
that it is haraam to do these things and others that are similar to
them. What is meant by finishing is the salaam. End quote.
Imam al-Shaafa'i (may Allaah have mercy on him) said inal-Umm(1/151):
The one who has prayed behind an imam may leave when the imam has
finished the salaam, before the imam gets up, and he may delay that
and leave after the imam leaves, or leave with him, which I like
better. End quote.
Ibn Qudaamah (may Allaah have mercy on him) said inal-Mughni(1/328):
It is mustahabb for the one who has prayed behind an imam not to get
up and leave before the imam, in case he remembers something that he
forgot and does the prostration of forgetfulness. End quote.
And Allaah knows best.

Anger management tips and techniques according to Islamic teachings

Noble Qur'an says, "And if an evil suggestion comes to you from
Shaitan (Satan), then seek refuge in Allah, He is hearing and
knowing." (7:200) and Holy Prophet Muhammad (saw) said: "If a man gets
angry and says, 'I seek refuge with Allah,' his anger will go away."
Therefore when someone is angry he should immediately say "A'udhu
billahi minash shaitanir rajim." Meaning, I seek shelter in Allah
(SWT) from the rejected Satan.
Imam Muhammad al-Baqir (as)said: "Verily, anger is a spark ignited by
the Shaitan (Satan) in the human heart. Indeed, when anyone of you
gets angry, his eyes become red, the veins of his neck become swollen
and Shaitan (Satan) enters them. Therefore, whosoever among you is
concerned about himself on account of it, he should lie down for a
while so that the filth of Shaitan (Satan) may be removed from him at
the time."
Holy Prophet Muhammad (saw) has said, "Anger is from Shaitan, Shaitan
is from fire; fire is put out by water; so when one is angry he should
do Wudu (Ablution)."
Holy Prophet Muhammad (saw) has said, when one of you becomes angry
while standing, he should sit down. If the anger leaves him, well and
good; otherwise he should lie down.
Be silent, don't speak. Holy Prophet Muhammad (saw) has said, "If any
of you becomes angry, let him keep silent."
Divert attention away from the cause of anger and participate in
strenuous physical activity aiming at letting steam out and relaxing
muscles.
Try to pinpoint the exact reasons why you feel angry. Once you
identified the problem, consider coming up with different strategies
on how to remedy the situation.
Forgive and forget. Remember the rewards and virtues of patience,
mercy and forgiveness. Those who spend (freely), whether in
prosperity, or in adversity; who restrain anger, and pardon (all) men;
Allah loves those who do good. ( Noble Qur'an, 3:134)

Holy Prophet Muhammad (saw) and Anger management skills and techniques in Islam

The behaviour of a courageous person is based on wisdom and serenity
of soul. He gets angry on proper occasion and is patient and
restrained. His anger is to the proper extent and if he takes revenge,
it is with reason and discretion. He knows well as to whom he should
forgive and what to overlook and ignore.
The anger of a true believer is for the sake of Allah (SWT). In the
state of anger, he keeps in mind his duties, rights of creatures and
never oppresses anyone. He neither makes the use of indecent language
nor acts indiscreetly. All his acts are based on rational
considerations and are in accordance with the norms of justice and
Divine laws. He always acts in a way that he will not regret his
actions later on.
Hence a true believer practices self-control and suppresses the
motives of ill-temper through taking enough time before saying or
doing anything.
Anger (Ghadab), Bad Temper and Human Vice according to Prophetic
Sayings (Hadith)
Holy Prophet Muhammad (saw) said: "The best Jihad is self-control."
Holy Prophet Muhammad (saw) said: "He is not strong and powerful, who
throws people down, but he is strong who withholds himself from
anger." Therefore, Anger is the sign of weakness not a sign of
strength.
Holy Prophet Muhammad (saw) said: "Whoever suppresses his anger, when
he has in his power to show it, Allah (SWT) will give him a great
reward."
Holy Prophet Muhammad (saw) said: "Anger corrupts faith in the same
way that vinegar destroys honey."
Imam Jafar Sadiq (as) narrated on the authority of his father Imam
Muhammad al-Baqir (as) that, a Bedouin came to Holy Prophet Muhammad
(saw) and said: "I live in the desert; hence, I want you to instruct
me the comprehensive of speech." Holy Prophet Muhammad (saw) said: "I
instruct you not to be angry." As the Bedouin repeated the same
request three times, Holy Prophet Muhammad (saw) repeated the answer
three times. Then Bedouin commented: "I will not ask you for anything
any more. Certainly, Holy Prophet Muhammad (saw) has instructed me the
best."
Imam Ali (as) said: "The most powerful person is the one who is
victorious over his anger with his forbearance."
Imam Ali (as) said: "When a person gets angry, if he is standing, he
should immediately lie down (sit down) on earth for a while as this
removes the filth of Shaitan (Satan) from him at that time."
Imam Ali (as) said: "Keep off anger because it is one large army from
the Shaitan's (Satan) armies."
Imam Muhammad al-Baqir (as) said: "Any one who suppresses his anger,
Allah (SWT) will add to his honour and authority in this world and the
world to come."
Imam Muhammad al-Baqir (as) said: "A man often becomes so angry that
he is never pleased until this causes him to be in Hell."
Imam Jafar Sadiq (as) said: "One who refrains his anger (towards
someone), Allah (SWT) will cover his secrets."
Imam Jafar Sadiq (as)said: "Anger is the key (that opens the door) to
all kinds of vices."
Imam Jafar Sadiq (as) said: "A Mu'min (believer) is the person who
when angered, his anger doesn't lead him away from that which is
true."
Imam Jafar Sadiq (as) said: "He who has no control over his anger has
no control over his reason."
