*- 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)./-

Dought & clear - Celebrating a child’s first fast.

In my country, the family celebrates the first day that their son or
daughter fasts, by making food on that occasion and inviting the
family to come and eat at the time of iftaar (breaking the fast). This
event is called a "celebration of the first fast." I would like to
know the following:
1. What is the Islamic ruling on celebrating this event; is it
permissible to attend if I am invited, and to eat this food?
2. What is your view on parties to celebrate the iftaar by inviting
the people to come and have iftaar in a particular place?
3. In most of the mosques, the Qur'an is completed on the night of
the twenty-seventh and sweets are handed out in the mosque; what is
the Islamic ruling on that?
May Allah reward you with good for your efforts for His sake.
Praise be to Allah.
Firstly:
There is nothing wrong, in sha Allah, with the family celebrating the
first time a boy or girl fasts, so long as it is limited to this
occasion only, and will not become something that is repeated. There
is nothing wrong with expressing happiness when the child reaches the
age to observe this act of worship, or to encourage him and help him
understand that thisis an important event in his life. It is also a
blessing for which thanks should be given to Allah. Some of the
scholars regard it as mustahabb to make food for every happy occasion,
and they specifically mentioned making food when a child completes the
Qur'an.
See the answer to question no. 89705
Secondly:
If the reason for meetingto have iftaar is to spread love and harmony
among those who gather, especially if they are relatives or if they
are in a foreign land, and to encourage them to uphold ties withone
another and show compassion towards oneanother, and to strengthen the
bonds between Muslim familiesand their children, or that is done to
help feed people and give iftaar tothose who are fasting, and other
valid purposes, then there is nothing wrong with it. In fact it is
something praiseworthy that should be encouraged according to the
purpose for which it is done, so long as it is not regarded as a
Sunnah and is not taken by the participants as a regular "eid" other
than the Eidsprescribed in Islam, such that they gather on a
particular day or in a particular manner, thinking that doing so has a
particular virtue in Islamic terms.
Shaykh Ibn 'Uthaymeen (may Allah have mercy on him) was asked:
I announce in one of themosques that there will be an iftaar for
everyonewho wants to fast every Thursday. What is the ruling on that?
He replied: There is nothing wrong with making this announcement,
because it is an announcement that is calling to good and the aim of
it is not to buy or sell. What is haraam is to make announcements
having to do with buying and selling, or renting and hiring, which are
purposes for which the mosques were not built. As for calling people
to good, feeding people and giving charity, thereis nothing wrong with
that.
With regard to its nature, and whether it isa gathering to perform
akind of worship, in fact they did not announce a communal fast;
rather they announced iftaar only, so there is nothing wrong with
that. And Allah knows best. End quote.
Thirdly:
The night of the twenty seventh of Ramadan is one of the odd-numbered
nights among the last ten, on which Laylat al-Qadr mayoccur, according
to the saheeh report narrated from the Prophet (blessings and peace of
Allah be upon him). But Laylat al-Qadr is not necessarily on this
particular night according to the correct view; rather it may be on
this night or on some other of the last ten nights, although this
night is the most likely of those nights.
Based on that, it is not correct to be certain thatit is always Laylat
al-Qadror to believe that. But if a person increases his prayers or
strives harder in that, on the basis that it is the most likely of
thelast ten nights, there is nothing wrong with that, in sha Allah. As
for singling it out for completing the Qur'an on that night, that is
something that should not be done, lest it be believed for certain
that it is Laylat al-Qadr. We know of no basis for doing that from the
practice of the early generations.
With regard to distributing sweets on that night, we do not know of
any basis for that. It seems that this is a kind of taking that night
as an Eid. It is not prescribed to single out that night for that
purpose; rather it is not prescribed to do that deliberately on that
night or any of the othernights on the basis of its virtue. However,
if the purpose of giving out these sweets is to be kind to small
children and do something nice for them, it should not be done only on
that night; rather if it is done every time there is a need for it,
that is Islamically acceptable.
And Allah knows best.

Dought & clear - He works as a bus driver; is it permissible for him not to fast?.

Is it permissible for me not to fast in Ramadan because I work as a bus driver?
Praise be to Allah.
Fasting Ramadan is obligatory for every Muslim who is an adult, of
sound mind, not travelling and in good health. If he is sick or is
travelling, it is permissible for him not to fast, because Allah, may
He be exalted, says (interpretation of the meaning):
"O you who believe! Observing As-Sawm (the fasting) is prescribed for
you as it was prescribed for those before you, that you may become
Al-Muttaqoon (the pious).
(Observing Sawm (fasts))for a fixed number of days, but if any of you
is ill or on a journey, the same number (should bemade up) from other
days"
[al-Baqarah 2:183-184].
Based on that, if your work means that you have to travel in the bus
to a place that is at the distance at which it becomes permissible to
shorten the prayers, which is approximately eighty kilometers, then it
is permissible for you not to fast whilst travelling, and you can make
up the days when you did not fast after Ramadan is over, at times when
it is easy to make them up, such as winter days.
If your work is inside thecity limits, then you mustfast and it is
haraam to break the fast, unless you experience severe hardship on
some day, in which case you may break the fast (by eatingor drinking)
whatever will ward off that hardship, then refrain from eating and
drinking for the rest of that day, and make it up later on. That is
because of the general meaning of the evidence which indicates that it
is obligatory to protect oneself from death, to relieve hardship and
notto take on more than one is able to bear.
It says in Sharh Muntaha al-Iraadaat, 1/478: If a person's work is
(physically) hard and he will be harmed by not working, and he fears
harm, he may break the fast and make it up later.That was stated by
al-Aajurri. End quote.
In al-Mawsoo'ah al-Fiqhiyyah (28/57) it says: The Hanafis say thatin
the case of the craftsman who needs to earn his living, such as a
baker or harvester, If he knows that if he works at his craft it will
cause him harm that makes it permissible for him to break the fast, it
is haraam for him to breakthe fast before encountering hardship. End
quote.
It says in Fataawa al-Lajnah ad-Daa'imah, 10/233: It is not
permissible for one who is accountable to break the fast during the
day in Ramadan just becausehe is working; but if he encounters severe
hardship that forces him to break the fast during the day, then he may
break the fast (by eatingor drinking) whatever will ward off hardship,
then he should refrain from eating and drinking until sunset and break
the fast with the people, then make up that day on which he broke the
fast. End quote.
If you know that you willnot be able to combine fasting and work, then
what you must do is lookfor another job, or take a leave of absence
from work so that you will be able to perform this important pillar of
Islam.
The Standing Committee for Issuing Fatwas was asked: What is the
Islamic ruling on the case of workers who aredoing physically hard
work, especially during the summer months? I can give you the example
of those who are working with smelting furnaces duringthe summer?
They replied:
It is well-known in Islam that fasting the month of Ramadan is
obligatoryfor everyone who is accountable and it is oneof the pillars
of Islam. Everyone who is accountable must strive to fast this month
in fulfilment of what Allah has enjoined upon him, in the hope of
earning His reward and fearing His punishment, without forgetting his
share of this world and without preferring worldly matters to the
Hereafter.If fulfilling what Allah has enjoined upon him of acts of
worship conflicts with his worldlywork, he has to try to find room for
both so that he will be able to dothem both. In the case given as an
example in the question, he should make the night the time for his
worldly work. If that is not possible, then he may take a leave of
absence from his work during the month of Ramadan, even if that is
without pay. If that is not possible, he should look for another job
in which he will be able to combine both duties andhis worldly
concerns willnot affect his striving forthe Hereafter. There are many
kinds of work and ways of earning money; it is not limited just to
this kind of difficult work. The Muslim will never be without ways of
earning a permissible income whilst at the same time being able to do
the acts of worship that Allah has enjoined upon him, by Allah's
leave.
"And whosoever fears Allah and keeps his duty to Him, He will make a
way for him to get out (from every difficulty).
3. And He will provide him from (sources) he never could imagine. And
whosoever puts his trust in Allah, then He will suffice him. Verily,
Allah will accomplish his purpose. Indeed Allah has set a measure for
all things"
[al-Talaaq 65:2-3].
If we assume that he cannot find any work other than what has been
mentioned, which involves hardship, and he fears that he may be
subjected to unfair laws or required to do things that prevent him
from practising his religion and doing some of his religious duties,
then let him flee for the sake of his religion from that land to
another land where it will be easy for him to do what he needsto do
for both his religious and worldly interests, and let him cooperate
with the Muslims in righteousnessand piety, for Allah's earth is vast.
Allah, may He be exalted, says (interpretation of the meaning):
"He who emigrates (from his home) in the Cause of Allah, will find on
earth many dwelling places and plenty to live by"
[an-Nisa' 4:100]
"Say (O Muhammad SAW): 'O My slaves who believe (in the Oneness of
Allah Islamic Monotheism), fear your Lord (Allah) and keep your duty
to Him. Good is (the reward) for those who do good in this world, and
Allah's earth is spacious (so if you cannot worship Allah at a place,
then go to another)! Only those who are patient shall receive their
rewards in full, without reckoning'"
[az-Zumar 39:10].
If he is not able to do any of the above and he is compelled to do
something like that which is mentioned in the question of difficult
work, he should fast until he feels that it is beginning to get too
hard, then he may eat and drink enough to prevent that hardship, then
refrain from eating and drinking (for the rest of that day). And he
has to make up that fast on days when it is easy for him to fast. End
quote.

Change is Inevitable, Changes for Survival

Maggie wasn't rich like a millionaire or poor in a manner of being
homeless. She was living an average comfortable life. It was made even
better when a beautiful baby girl came her way. She and her husband
made sure their daughterhad her needs met and they were still able to
take a yearly vacation by the beach.
Maggie was a partner in her husband's business. They both had a
differentset of duties which kept everything in balance. One day a
devastating blow came to her husband's business, and over a three year
period the business dropped outof site. Her husband had to totally
reinvent himselfand was yearning to fulfill a dream with a new
vocation. She was happy for him and supported him fully, but still the
money was not coming in.
Maggie began to feel guilty that she wasn't contributing with any kind
of income. It had been a long time since she had worked outside the
home and had to work for someone else. Needless to say she was scared
but still had faith that everything would beokay. She began job
hunting and found fillingout applications somewhat difficult,
especially the part askingfor job references. Keep in mind that she
was self-employed with her husband for almost 20 years. It felt as
though that didn't count for anything as she was never called for an
interview.
At the time she was job hunting her mom became more ill than she had
been and ended up in the hospital for a week. Once Maggie's mom
returned home she became her mom's helper one day a week. She did the
shopping, changed sheets, vacuumed and did other things that her
mother was not able to do anymore. Of course her mom would pay her for
her time and labor but she still felt she needed to find another
source of income.
One of the first applications she had filled out finally came through.
She passed the interview with flying colors and was told she was
"exactly" what they were looking for. Although it was only part time
it was exactly what she wanted. It was important for her to be home
when her daughter arrived home from school. She was toldthey would be
in touch when the schedule was ready. Knowing she had the job made her
feel contented and productive again.
Within a few weeks though, she received an e-mail saying that the
company had changed the job into a full time position and she was not
qualified. Maggie was devastated. She felt betrayed and felt she
hadbeen lied to. That evening she was alone asher husband and daughter
had gone out for the night. She welcomed the aloneness and wanted to
drown her sorrows in a hot tub of bubbles.
As she knew she would, she began to cry, softly atfirst just from the
sheer pain of being rejected. Three long years of struggle had finally
caught up with her. Thenshe became angry; angry at everything from the
circumstances that got her there, to God himself.She cried harder and
yelled, "What do you want me to do?" She really felt that God had
abandoned her.
When she was able to cryno more, she became exhausted and gave up. It
was at that moment that a silent idea came to her to offer other
elderly people home care assistance.
Using another talent for computers she printed off some flyers and
cards and distributed them to her church, grocery stores and even
placed a small ad in the newspaper. Within a week she had procured two
new clients.
Now, even though she's not a CEO of a major company or a power player
she feels happy and productive again. So,had God really abandoned her?
Let's look at nature for the lessons and the answer.
Before a butterfly can emerge out of it's chrysalis it has to go
through a lot of struggling. Yes, struggling. Each time it lunges out
to escape, acids are being removed from its wings. If someone were to
come along and break the chrysalis open for it then the butterfly
would die from those acids. In essence the struggle (Jihad) is
necessary for the butterfly to survive. Then in the stillness, when
the struggle (Jihad)is over, the butterfly can come out and share its
beauty with the world.
Moral:We as humans are not any different. There are times that we need
tostruggle (Jihad), to rid ourselves of the acids that make up
sadness, fear, and anger. It is only at this time when we are
exhausted and still that we begin to hear the Universe whisper to us.

Butterfly and Cocoon, Struggle Stories

A man found a Cocoon of a Butterfly. One day a small opening appeared;
he sat and watched the Butterfly for several hours as it struggled to
force its body through that little hole. Then it seemed to stop making
any progress. It appearedas if it had gotten as far as it could and it
could gono farther.
Then the man decided to help the Butterfly, so he took a pair of
scissors and snipped off the remaining bit of the Cocoon. The
Butterfly then emerged easily. But it had a swollen body and small,
shriveled wings.
The man continued to watch the Butterfly because he expected that, at
any moment, the wings would enlarge andexpand to be able to support
the body, which would contract in time.
Neither happened! In fact, the Butterfly spent the rest of its life
crawling around with a swollen body and shriveled wings. It never was
able to fly.
What this man in his kindness and haste did not understand was that
the restricting Cocoon and the struggle required for the Butterflyto
get through the tiny opening were nature's way of forcing fluid from
the body of the Butterfly into its wings so that it would be ready for
flight once it achieved its freedom from the Cocoon.
Moral:Sometimes struggles are exactly what we need in our life.If
nature allowed us to go through our life without any obstacles, it
would cripple us. We would not be as strong aswhat we could have been.
And we could never fly. Freedom and flight would only come after the
struggle (Jihad)
Be sure we shall test you with something of fear and hunger, some loss
in goods or lives or the fruits (of your toil), but give glad tidings
to thosewho patiently persevere. Noble Qur'an (2:155)
