What should be said when the imam sits down between the two khutbahs
at Jumu'ah prayer?.
Praise be to Allaah.
It is proven that the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon
him) used to deliver two khutbahs on Friday and he separated them by
sitting down briefly on the minbar.
It was narrated that 'Abd-Allaah ibn 'Umar (may Allaah be pleased with
him) said: The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him)
used to give two khutbahs and sit down between them. Narrated by
al-Bukhaari (928).
It is not narrated that the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be
upon him) or the Sahaabah, as far as we know, said any specific du'aa'
or dhikr between the two khutbahs of Jumu'ah. Rather some of the
scholars said that it is mustahabb to say du'aa' between the two
khutbahs, seeking the time when du'aa' is answered on Friday. Oneof
the strongest opinions about that timeis that it is from when the imam
first comes outto give the khutbah untilthe end of the prayer. This
has been discussed in the answer to question no. 112165 .
But because this du'aa' was not narrated from the Prophet (peace and
blessings of Allaah be upon him) or the noble Sahaabah, we should not
affirm it or take it as a binding Sunnah; it is also not permissible
to raise one's voice when saying it and disturb the others who are
present. Some scholars have warned against that.
Ibn Hajar al-Haytami narrated that al-Qaadi said: Du'aa' during this
sitting (between the twokhutbahs) will be answered. Then Ibn Hajar
said:
It may be understood from what al-Qaadi said that the Sunnah is for
the people present to make use of the time when the imam sits to say
du'aa', because it is affirmed that it is answered at that time.
Ifthey say du'aa' then it is better for it to be silent, because by
saying it out loud they may disturb others, and because saying it
silently is betterin the case of du'aa', unless it is for a reason.
End quote.
Al-Fataawa al-Fiqhiyyah al-Kubra by al-Haafiz Ibn Hajar al-Haytami (1/251-252).
Shaykh 'Abd-Allaah ibn 'Abd al-Rahmaan Abu Bateen (may Allaah have
mercy on him) said: Du'aa' whilst sitting between the two khutbahs – I
do not know anything about it, and the one who does that seeking the
time mentioned on Friday (when du'aa' may be answered) should not
beobjected to. End quote.
Rasaa'il wa Fataawa al-Shaykh 'Abd-Allaah Abu Bateen (p. 163)
Shaykh Muhammad Rasheed Rida (may Allaah have mercy on him) said:
As for raising the hands and the voice in du'aa' when the khateeb sits
down between the two khutabhs, we do not know of any Sunnah to support
that; there would be nothing wrong with it were it not for the fact
that it disturbs others and because they regarded itas a Sunnah to be
followed without any evidence.
What is narrated is to ask for silence when the imam ascends the
minbar, but the silence isfor the purpose of listening. Hence we say
that there is nothing wrong with saying du'aa' at times other than
when listening is required, but one shouldsay du'aa' quietly and not
disturb others with one's du'aa'. Not all the people should raise
theirhands so that this becomes one of the rituals of Jumu'ah for
which there is no teaching in the Sunnah. Rather they are going
against the clear Sunnah, if when the imam stands up and begins the
second khutbah they continue with their du'aa's. It is better for them
to listen and ponder at the time of the khutbah, and think and reflect
at the time when the imam is resting. The least that can be said about
this action of theirs is that it is an inappropriate innovation. End
quote.
Majallat al-Manaar (6/792).
Shaykh Ibn 'Uthaymeen (may Allaah have mercy on him) was asked whether
there is a specific du'aa' or dhikr that the worshipper maysay between
the two Jumu'ah khutbahs? Is it narrated that the khateeb should say
du'aa' between the two khutbahs or not?
He replied:
There is no specific dhikror du'aa', rather a person may say whatever
supplication he wants, because this isa time when du'aa's are
answered. The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him)
said: "On Friday there is a time when no Muslim slave asks Allaah for
something when he is standing and praying but He will give it to him."
In Saheeh Muslim it is narrated from the hadeeth of Abu Moosa: "It is
between the time when the imam comes out – i.e., enters the mosque –
until the prayer ends."
This is a time when du'aa's are answered, soone should make the most
of this opportunity and say du'aa' between the two khutbahs, asking
for whatever he wants of the good things of this world and the
Hereafter.
The same may also be said of the imam; he should say du'aa' between
the two khutbahs but it should be silent, asking for whatever he wants
of things in this world and in the Hereafter.
The same may also be said concerning prostration during Jumu'ah
prayer, after reciting the adhkaar that were narrated from the Prophet
(peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him), one may say du'aa' as one
wishes.
And after the tashahhud and before the salaam, one may say du'aa' for
whatever one wants, after saying du'aa' for that which it is narrated
one should say du'aa' for. End quote.
He also said (may Allaah have mercy on him):
Du'aa' during this time isgood and is mustahabb, because this time is
a time when it is hoped prayers will be answered. The Prophet (peace
and blessings of Allaah be upon him) toldus that on Friday there isa
time when no Muslim slave asks Allaah for something when he is
standing and praying but He will answer him.
The time of prayer is the most likely to be the time when du'aa's are
answered, because of the report narrated by Muslim from Abu Moosa
al-Ash'ari (may Allaah be pleased with him), according to which the
Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said: "It is
between the time when the imam comes out until the prayer ends."
Based on this, one should make the most ofthis opportunity and say
du'aa' between the two khutbahs.
With regard to raising the hands, I do not thinkthere is anything
wrong with it, because the basic principle with regard to du'aa' is
that its etiquette includes raising the hands. So if aperson raises
his hands there is nothing wrong with it, and if he says du'aa'
without raising his hands there is nothing wrong with it. This has to
do with du'aa' between the two khutbahs. End quote.
Fataawa Noor 'ala al-Darb (Fataawa al-Salaah/Salaat al-Jumu'ah)
Thirdly:
Some fuqaha' said that itis mustahabb to recite Qur'aan when the imam
sits down between the two khutbahs, and someof them mentioned Soorat
al-Ikhlaas in particular, based on the hadeeth of Jaabir ibn Samurah
(may Allaah be pleased with him) who said: The Prophet (peaceand
blessings of Allaah be upon him) used to give two khutbahs, sitting in
between them.He would recite Qur'aan and remind the people. Narrated
by Muslim (862). A similar version was narrated by Ibn Hibbaan in his
Saheeh (7/42), which he included in a chapter entitled "Mention of
what the Prophet (peaceand blessings of Allaah be upon him) used to
say when he sat down between the two khutbahs." End quote.
Al-Khateeb al-Sharbeeni (may Allaah have mercy on him) said:
His sitting between the two khutbahs was aboutthe length of Soorat al-Ikhlaas.
Should he recite Qur'aanor dhikr therein, or remain silent?
They did not discuss it, but in Saheeh Ibn Hibbaan it says that the
Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) used to
reciteQur'aan therein. End quote.
Mughni al-Muhtaaj (1/557).
The correct view is that the words of Jaabir ibn Samurah in the
hadeeth,"he would recite Qur'aanand remind the people" do not refer to
the sitting between the two khutbahs, rather they refer to what is
mentioned at the beginning of the hadeeth, "The Prophet (peace and
blessings of Allaah be upon him) used to give two khutbahs", i.e., he
(peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) would deliver two khutbahs
on the minbar,which both included recitation of Qur'aan and
exhortation and reminders to the people.
Hence al-Haafiz al-Dhahabi said in Siyar A'laam al-Nubala' (16/102),
in his biography of Ibn Hibbaan, in an important discussion of
mistakes made by Ibn Hibbaan in his Saheeh: One of the things which
al-Dhahabi regarded as a mistake on his part was his categorizing of
this hadeeth, when he – Ibn Hibbaan – said: Mention of what [the
Prophet] (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) used to
recitewhen he sat down between the two khutbahs. And he did not
mention anything. End quote. Meaning that the hadeeth does not
indicate what he mentioned in the chapter heading.
The more correct view –and Allaah knows best –is that there is no
binding Sunnah from the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon
him) concerning this matter. The one whowants to use this brief moment
of silence to saydu'aa' or dhikr or recite Qur'aan may do so, so long
as he does not disturb others.

*- 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)./-

Islamic Stories - , The Sight of Kabah
One never tires of gazing at the sight of the House of Allah, the
Kaa'ba. The site upon which the mercy and blessings of Allah are
constantly descending. There is truly nothing comparable to the
Houseof Allah on this Earth. People wish time would stand still so
they could keep gazing at the Kaa'ba; their thirst is never quenched,
rather it increases.
Once, while on a visit to Washington, people toldme that a woman had
accepted Islam and had some questions for me. They told me that many
non-practicing Muslim women had started practicing again due to her.
At prayer time she would dress in her best clothes as if readying
herself for someone special, and would become oblivious to everything
around her as soon she started praying.
After a brief question and answer session, I asked her what prompted
her to accept Islam. She sighed and started explaining; "I was a Jew
and my husband was a Christian who was posted in SaudiArabia for some
technical work. EverydayI used to see Muslim menand women dressed in
white on their way somewhere. I asked my husband where they were going
and he told me that they go to perform pilgrimage at the Muslim shrine
of Kaa'ba. I expressed a desire to go but he told me that non-Muslims
were not allowed. However, I was determined and so we both bought
white clothes and set out. Fortunately no one stopped us and we
reached Makkah, from where we found directions to the Kaa'ba. Upon
seeing the Kaa'ba our eyes froze and time seemed to stand still. When
we turned to look at each other after some time, we were both crying.
With our eyes wetold each other that this was the Truth and we should
accept Islam. No one ever told me about Islam, but there were so many
blessings descending on that House that they changedmy life forever."
The blessings of Tawhid descend in Makkah, and the blessings of
Prophethood descend inMadinah. One has seen nothing in life if he has
not seen these two holy sites. May Allah give all Muslims the
opportunity to visit to His House.

Islamic Stories - , A World of Smile
About ten years ago when I was an undergraduate in college, I was
working as an intern at my University's Museum of Natural History. One
day while working at the cash register in the gift shop, I saw an
elderly couple come in with a little girl in a wheelchair.
As I looked closer at this girl, I saw that she was kind of perched on
her chair. I then realized she had no arms or legs, just a head, neck
and torso. She was wearing a little white dress with red polka dots.
As the couple wheeled her up to me I was looking down at the register.
I turned my head toward the girl and gave her a wink. As Itook the
money from her grandparents, I looked back at the girl, who was giving
me the cutest, largest smile I have ever seen. All of a sudden her
handicap was gone and all I saw was this beautiful girl, whose smile
just melted me and almost instantly gave me a completely new sense of
what life isall about. She took me from a poor, unhappy college
student and brought me into her world; a world of smiles, love and
warmth.
That was ten years ago. I'm a successful business person now and
whenever I get down and think about the troubles of the world, I think
about that little girl and the remarkable lesson about life that
shetaught me.

Status of Women in Chinese Society
-
Women in Chinese society occupied a low and degraded status. They were
customarily assigned the most despised and least important jobs and
positions. The male child was looked upon as a "gift" from the gods,
and treated accordingly. As for the female child, she had to endure
multiple hardships, like the binding of her feet in order tocripple
her from running and other customs. A Chinese proverbsays:
"Listen to your wife, but never believe what she says."
The status of women in the Chinese society was not much better than
that of the pagan pre-Islamic Arab and the Indian societies.

Women in Greek Society
-
Among the Greeks, women were degraded to the extent that men claimed
that women were nothing but the epitome of evil. There was no system
to protect women in that society. They weredeprived of the rights to
education; bought and sold like any other commodity; deprived of the
right of inheritance; and considered as minors with no rights to make
any transactions regard to possessions and wealth. Women were
subjected to the will of men throughout their lives. Divorce was an
absolute right of men. The common situation of women in the society
led some Greek thinkers to say:
"Woman's name must be locked up in the house, as it is the case with her body."
Gustave Le Bon , the French thinker, stated about the status of women
in the Greek society in his book "Arab Civilization" :
"Greeks, in general, considered women to be the lowest creatures of
the low. They were useful for nothing other than reproduction and
taking care of the household affairs. If a womangave birth to an
'ugly, retarded orhandicapped' child, the man could take the liberty
to kill the (unwanted or undesirable) child".
Demosthenes , the well-known Greek orator and thinker said:
"We Greek men enjoy the company of prostitutes for sexualpleasure;
'girl-friends' and 'sweet-hearts', to care of our daily needs, and we
marry to get 'legitimate' children".
From this licentious double standard, and depraved morality, we can
see what fortune women had in such a society based on the statement
issued by one of their top rank, well-known thinkers.

Woman in Roman Society
-
A woman in Roman society was also looked upon as an inferior being
that could not run her ownaffairs. All authority was in the hands of
men who totally dominated all private and public affairs. Men even had
the authority to sentence their wives to death in certain cases when
accused of specific crimes. The authority of man over woman in the
Roman society included the right to sell her, punish her with tortuous
punishments, send her into exile or kill her. The woman in Roman
society had to listen to and obey all commands given by the man. And
they were deprived of the right of inheritance.
