Salatul Tasbih For forgiveness of All Sins

Benefits of Salat-Ul-Tasbih
Our Beloved Prophet Mohammed (Sallallaho Alihiwassallam) said to his
uncle (father's brother) Sayyiduna Abbass (may Allah be pleased with
him) Oh uncle shall I not give youShall I not grant you Shall I not
award you Shall I not do mercy on you When you do 10 things Allah will
forgive your sins: of the future and of the past; new andold; those
you have forgotten and those you did knowingly; big and small; hidden
and revealed. Then he (Sallallaho Alihiwassallam) explained the taught
theway to pray Salatul Tasbih and then said if you can pray this salah
once a day, if you can not pray once a day thenevery Friday, and even
if this is not possible then once a month and even if this is not
possible then once a year and even if this is not possible then at
least once in a lifetime (Abu'Dawood & Tirimzi)
How to perform Salatul Tasbih?
This salaat (namaz) is offered in four rakat at atime and can be read
in any part of the day and night besides Zawal and Sunrise and Sunset
makrooh times, keeping in mind the forbidden times for performing
Salat (namaaz). But is is preferred before Zuhr (Fatawa Alamgeeri)
The Tasbih to be read in Salaat-Ul-Tasbeeh:
" Subhaan Allahi Wal Hamdulillahi Wa Laa ilaha illal Laahu Wallahu Akbar "
Method:
Goal is to recite above Tasbih 300 times in Four Rakah with the
following method.
In the first rakaat, after reading Sana "SubhaanaKallahumma...", read
the above tasbih 15 times.
Now recite Aaoz"Aoozubillah...", Bismillah "Bismillah...", Then read
sura Fatiha and a Surah or minimumof three small Ayayhs then read the
tasbih 10 times again.
Go to ruku saying Takbeer (Allah Hoo Akbar), after reciting"Subhaana
Rabbiyal Azeem" minimum of three times read the tasbih 10 times in
Ruku.
Saying "Samee Allahu Liman Hamidah RabbanaLakal Hamdh" get up from
ruku to qiyam position.
Now read the tasbih 10 times.
Go to Sajdah saying Takbeer (Allah Hoo Akbar) and after
reciting"Subhaana Rabbiyal A'la" minimum of three times read the
tasbih 10 times in Sajdah.
Now go after first Sajdahgo to Jalsa (sitting position) saying
Takbeer(Allah Hoo Akbar). Sittingin Jalsa read tasbih 10 times.
Go to sajda again saying Takbeer (Allah Hoo Akbar) and after
reciting"Subhaana Rabbiyal A'la" minimum of three times read the
tasbih 10 times in Sajdah again.
Get up to begin 2nd rakat saying Takbeer (Allah Hoo Akbar).
Do rakah #2 in same fashion, but before reading
Bismillah"Bismillah...", and Surah Fatiha, read the tasbih 15 times.
Follow the rest as you did in first Rakat.
After second Sajdah of Second Rakat sit in Qaidah Oola (first
sitting)read Attahiyat, Durood and Dua then get up for 3rd rakaat
without saying Salam.
Begin third Rakat, just like the first Rakat, with Sana "Subhaana
Kallahumma...", read the above tasbih 15 times. Follow the rest as you
did in first Rakat untill you sit for Qaidah Akihra(last sitting)
after secondsajdah of fourth Rakah.
In Qaidah Akihra Attahiyat, Durood, Dua finish Salah with Salam.
Special notes for Salat-Ul-Tasbih:
1) Do not count loudly. Itwill break Salah
2) Do not count on fingers or by holding a Bead Tasbih in hand. It isMakruh.
3) You may count by pressing the fingers as a reminder. For example
ifyou are in Ruku. You me press pinky of your righthand first for the
first count, then the finger next to it for second count, then the
middle finger for third count, following this method untill you reach
the pinky of left hand will give you an exact count of ten. Use the
same method in Qayam, Sajdah and Jalsa.
4) If missed a count then make it up in the next posture. For example
if forgot to recite Tasbih after Surah in Qayam. Then you may recite
Tasbish 20 times instead of 10 in Rukuh after"Subhaana Rabbiyal
Azeem". Missed Tasbih cannot be recited in Qayam after ruku and Jalsa
between Sajdah. If you missed the Tasbih in Ruku then recite 20 in the
first Sajdah instead of the Qayam after rukuh. Similarly if missedthe
Tasbih in first Sajdahthen do not make it up in Jalsa. Instead recite
missed tasbih in the second Sajdah. If Tasbih has been missed in last
sajdah of second or fourth Rakah then you can recite the missed ones
before Attahiyat in Qaidah.
5) If you miss a wajib in Salah and have to do Sajdah Sahaw. You dont
have to recite Tasbih in Sajdah sahoo, since the 300 count has been
estalished. But if you had missed Tasbih in anyof the postures and
remeber it now. Then you may recite the missed Tasbih in Sajdah Sahaw
now.
6) It is preferable to recite after Surah Fatiha Sura Takathuur in the
first raka', Surah Wal A'srin the second raka', Surah Kaferoon (qul ya
aiyuhal Kafiroon) in the third and Surah Akhlas (Qul hu Allah-hu ahd)
in the fourth raka'. If one does not remember these surah they can
recite the ones they prefer.
May Allah accept this dua' (supplication) for the sake of the
trustworthy PROPHET MOHAMMED (Allah's Grace& Peace be upon him)

The Ahkam of Qurbani(Adha)

The Fazail and Masail of Qurbani
To zabh (slaughter) a specific animal in the days of Nahr is Qurbani.
The Qurbani is the sunnat of Sayeduna Ibrahim (Alaihis Salaam).Muslims
were told to do Qurbani, Allah Tabaraka wa Ta'la says:
Therefore offer prayer for your Lord, and do the sacrifice. (Quran 110:2)
Ahadith and Aasar
Hadith 1: Sayeduna Zaid bin Arqam Radi Allahu anhu narrates the
Sahabae Kiram asked the Beloved Prophet (Swall Allahu alaihi
wasallam), "Ya Rasool Allah, what is Qurabani?"
He (Swall Allahu alaihi wasallam) said, "This is the Sunnat of your
father Ibraheem (Alahis Salaam)."
Sahaba said, "Ya Rasool Allah, what sawaab will we get in this?"
He (Swallal Allahu alaihi wasallam) said, "A virtue for every hair (on
the animal)."
(Ahmad, Ibnu Majah)
Hadith 2: Sayedatuna Aisha (Radi Allahu anhu) narrates that Rasool
Allah said, "There is no dearer deed of Ibne Adam in the days of
Qurbani than flowing the blood (doing Qurbani) and that animal will
come with his horns, hairs, and hooves on the day of Qayamt. Thee
blood of the Qurbani reaches the stage of acceptance before it reaches
the floor. (Tirmizi, Ibnu Majah)
Hadith 3: Sayeduna Abu Hurairah (Radi Allahu anhu) narrates the
Beloved Prophet (Swall Allahu alaihi wasallam) said, "Whoever has the
means and does not do Qurbani should not come near our place of Eid.
(Ibnu Majah)

Jewels of Quran

Isa bin Muhammad (Alaihir Rahmah) says that I once saw Abu Bakrbin
Mujahid (Alaihir Rahmah) after his death in a dream reading the Holy
Quran. I asked, "Youhave died, how are you reciting," upon which
hesaid, "After every Salah and finishing of the Quran, I would pray "O
Allah, give me the Taufiqto recite the Quran in mygrave" and that is
why I am praying." (Faizan-e-Sunnat)
Ahadith
The Holy Prophet said:
1) The best of you is he who learnt the Holy Quran and taught it to
others. (Bukhari)
2) Undoubtedly, the heart gets rusted like metal gets rusted when
water goes over it. The People asked, "How can they [hearts] be
cleaned." The Prophet replied, "To remember death in abundance and to
recite the Holy Quran." (Mishkat)
3) That chest which doesnot have any Quran in it is like an abandoned
house. (Tirmizi, Darmi)
4) Whoever read the Quran and memorized it and belived its' Halal to
be Halal and its Haram tobe Haram [i.e., accepted it commandments of
Halal and Haraam], Allah will accept the intercession for such 10
people on from him whom Hell had already become Wajib. (Tirmizi,
Ibn-e-Majah)
5) Whoever is an expert in reciting the Holy Quran is with the Kiraman
Katebeen and whoever reads the Quran with pauses and itis difficult
for him, that is, his tounge does not move easily and he recites with
difficutly forhim there are two rewards. (Bahar-e-Shariat)
6) The one who has memorized Quran will be told to read and climb and
recite with Tarteel (clear and distinct recitation) like you used to
read with Tarteel in the Dunya; your place will be whereyou read your
last Ayat. (Bahar-e-Shariat)
7) Allah says, "Whoever was kept busy with the [recitation] of Quran
from my Zikr and asking me, I will give him betterthan those who I
give to those who ask" and the excellence of the Word of Allah over
all the other words is like the excellence of Allah over all his
creation.
8) Learn the Quran and read it because whoeverlearned the Quran and
read it and did Qayam with it is like a bag filledwith Musk whose
fragrance is spread everywhere and whoever learned the Quran and slept
that is he did not do Qiyamul Layl is like a bag which isfilled with
Musk and its mouth has been closed. (Tirmizi, Ibn-e-Majah, Nisaee)
9) Read the Quran when you heart feels affection and attachment and
when your heart becomes bored stand upthat is stop reciting the Quran.
(Saheeh Bukhari and Muslim)
10) Decorate the Quran with your (good) voices. (Mishkat)
11) O People of the Quran, do not make the Quran a pillow, that is
donot be lazy and be careless, and read the Quran in the day and night
like it is the Haq of Recitation, and spread it,that is, read with
good voices or do not take compensation for it, andwhatever is in it,
reflect upon itso that you may attain success, and do not hurry in its
reward because the reward for it is great (which will be given in the
Akhirah). (Bahiqi)

When Should Eid Al-Adha Be Celebrated?

Dear Brothers in Islam,
This booklet is prepared for the sole purpose of clarifying the
confusion in the Muslim Ummah about the actual day of Eid Al-Adha.
Please read this with a careful understanding.
The Islamic calendar is based on sighting of the Moon. The beginning
and ending of the months relies on witnessing the Moon sighting. Allah
Subhanahu Wa-Ta'ala clearly mentions this in the Holy Qura'an :
'They ask you about the new moon. Say you, 'They are the signs of time
for the people and pilgrimage (Hajj).' 2:189 (Sura Al-Baqarah, Verse
189)
"And We made night andday as two signs, then put the signs of the
night blotted and the sign of day shining, that you may seek grace of
Allah and that you may know the numbering of years, and the reckoning.
And We have explained well every thing separately.' 17:12 (Sura
Bani-Israil, Verse 12)
In both of these verses the timings and days areappointed based on the
Moon. The counting of years is also dependent on the passing of nights
and days. The Noble Prophet of Allah (Peace Be Upon Him) also
clarified this very plainly for the simplicity of his Ummah in a
complete form of law.
"Allah Subhanahu Wa-Ta'ala created moon for mankind to determine time.
So by sighting the Moon, start fast and end fast (Eid). If that Moon
does not appear then complete the count of thirty (30) days.' (Tafseer
Ibn-e-Katheer, Book 1, Page 214)
For the Muslim Ummah, Qura'an and Hadith are the norm. By virtue of
the Qura'an and Hadith we know that Islamic months begin and end upon
sighting of the Moon. The day after the Moon is sighted is the first
day of the followingmonth. If the Moon does not appear, for any
reason, on the 29th day of any given month, then 30 days of that month
should be completed and the following month be started after the
completion.
Some people, upon sighting the New Moon, start assuming that the New
Moon seems to be of the second day. They rely upon the supposition of
the second day Moon and say this is not the first day Moon (New Moon).
The following Hadith will be sufficient to nullify these comments:
"Hadhrat Abul Bakhtari (May Allah Be Pleased With Him) said, 'We
started our journey for Umrah. When we reached Batn-e-Nakhla, we saw
the Moon. Someone commented that this seems like a third day Moon.
Another person suggested that this is a second day Moon. Then we
approached Hadhrat Ibn-e-Abbas (May Allah Be Pleased With Him) and
respectfully informed him that we saw the Moon on the way. Some of us
made comments of it being a second day Moon and others, third day
Moon. Then Hadhrat Ibn-e-Abbas (May Allah Be Pleased With Him) asked
which night you saw theMoon. We told him such and such day. He replied
that the Holy Prophet (Peace Be Upon Him) said that the night you
witnessed the New Moon is the night you rely on.'"
(Tafseer Qurtabi, Book 1,Vol. 2, Page 344)
This dilemma is now quite clear that Moon sighting is the basis of a
month's beginning and ending. If the Moon is not sighted on the 29th
day of a given month, then thirty (30) days must be completed. At the
same time when the Moon, if appearing to bethicker and staying longer
on the horizon, issighted upon a completion of 30 days, do not start
speculating or assuming that it may be such and such day's Moon. This
is against the commands of our Holy Prophet (Peace Be Upon Him).
In the context we hear people saying that this isthe age of science,
technology, and advancements in astronomy. They conclude that we can
measure the velocity andlocation of the Moon. Based on this, many
people assume one mustfollow scientific means and that there is no
need to observe the Moon.
With due respect, we saythat Islamic Shariah bases its verdict in the
light of principles of astronomy. According to astronomical
explanations, at the end of the month when the Moon is waning, the
time between the disappearance and appearance of the Moon by the
horizon is called "Muhaaq" or the Unseen Time. During this phase, the
Sun and the Moon are at approximately thesame level on the horizon.
Due to this, the Moon's visibility is drowned by the Sun's light. In
result, the Moon is invisible. The period of"Muhaaq" ranges from 36 to
50 hours. However,after this phase, the Moon enters the New Moon
period and emerges from the horizon (and the vicinityof the Sun).
Afterwards, in the waxing phase, when the Moon is 12° (degrees) from
the Sun, it becomes visible to the unaided eye.
Now take the words of Hadith which says, "Startfast with the
appearanceof Moon and end fast with the appearance of the Moon." This
clearly points to the principles of "Muhaaq" (when the Moon is
invisible). Since the New Moon comes after completing its phase of
"Muhaaq", there is a possibility of it being seen on the horizon. This
is why Islamic Shariah does not recognize the birth of the Moon in
blindness; rather it considers its appearance on the horizon. The
ruling of Shariah applies to the observance of the Moon.Only upon
visibility does the month start, not before the appearance on the
horizon.
