For children, - Story of Trust in Allah (SWT): Illness of Prophet Musa/Moses (as)

Share::- :right:











Once, Prophet Musa/Moses (as) became ill. The Bani Israel (Children of Israel) came to him and realizing what his illness was, advised him: "If you consume such and such medicine you will recover from your sickness." "I shall not seek any cure but will instead wait till Allah (SWT) cures me without the help of any medicine," said Prophet Musa/Moses (as) to them. His illness became prolonged whereupon Allah (SWT) revealed to him: "By My Majesty and Glory! I shall never cure you till you have consumed the medicine which they had recommended to you."
Prophet Musa/Moses (as)asked the Bani Israel to treat him with the medicine that they had previously suggested. They treated him and shortly after that, Prophet Musa/Moses (as) regained his health. However, this incident left Prophet Musa/Moses (as) with a feeling of complaint and dejection but Allah (SWT) revealed to him: "You desired to annul My Wisdom by means of your trust in Me! Is there one, other than Me, who has placed the medicinal and beneficial effects in plants and various things?"
Say: "Nothing will happen to us except what Allah has decreed for us: He is our protector. In Allah let the Believers put their trust." (Noble Qur'an, 9:51)
Moral of the Story: "Trust in Allah (SWT) but tie your Camel." Also "Trust in Allah (SWT) alone not a fortune cookie." - Muslim Proverbs

I'tikaaf, (residing in the mosque for worship), - Dought & clear, - * Ruling on touching a girl’s hand during Ramadaan

Share

What is the ruling on touching a girl’s hand, hugging her or kissing her during the day in Ramadaan?.
Praise be to Allaah.
It is haraam for a man to touch the hand of a girl who is not his mahram, because the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said: “For one of you to be stabbed in the head with an iron needle is better for him than for him to touch a woman who is not permissible for him.” Narrated by al-Tabaraani from the hadeeth of Ma’qil ibn Yasaar (may Allaah have mercy on him); classed as saheeh by al-Albaani inSaheeh al-Jaami’, 5045.
If this applies to mere touching, then hugging and kissing are even more serious matters. If the woman tries to do that, the man must stop her, and not allow her to do something haraam with him.
This is a general ruling which applies to the one who is fasting and to others. But if a person is fasting it is even more important that he keep away from all haraam things and all things that can provoke desire, which go against the wisdom and aims of fasting. Allaah says, explaining the reason why fasting has been enjoined (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)”
[al-Baqarah 2:183]
And Allaah says in a hadeeth qudsi: “Fasting is for Me and I will reward for it. He gives up his desire and his food and drink for My sake.” Narrated by al-Bukhaari, 7492; Muslim, 1151.
The one who has done that must repent to Allaah and resolve never to do it again.
With regard to his fast, that is subject to further discussion:
If semen (maniy) came out of him because of this action, then his fast is invalidated and he must make up that day. If no semen came out of him, then his fast is still valid.
But the fact that his fast is still valid does not mean that there is no sin on him or that his fast is perfect. Not at all. Rather every sin that a person commits detracts from the reward of his fast, and may cancel out the reward altogether.
The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said: “Whoever does not give up false speech and false actions and ignorance, Allaah has no need of his giving up his food and drink.” Narrated by al-Bukhaari, 6057.
He also (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said: “A fasting person may get nothing from his fast except hunger and the one who prays at night may get nothing from his qiyaam but a sleepless night.” Narrated by Ibn Maajah, 1690; classed as saheeh by al-Albaani inSaheeh Ibn Maajah.
We ask Allaah to set our affairs straight and to protect us from temptation.
And Allaah knows best.

I'tikaaf, (residing in the mosque for worship), - Dought & clear, - * His father will not let him observei’tikaaf for reasons that are not convincing

Share

What is the ruling on one whose father will not let him observe i'tikaaf for reasons that are not convincing?.
Praise be to Allaah.
I’tikaaf is Sunnah and honouring one's parents is obligatory, and an obligatory duty cannot be waived for something that is Sunnah; the Sunnah cannot be regarded as equal to something that is obligatory, because the obligatory duty takes precedence over it. Allaah says in a hadeeth qudsi: “My slave does not draw close to me by means of anything that is dearer to Me than that which I have made obligatory upon him.” If your father tells you not to observe i’tikaaf and he says things that imply that you should not observe i'tikaaf because he needs you, then the way he sees things is correct, not the way you see things. Because you want to do i’tikaaf, so you think that these reasons are not acceptable, but your father thinks that they are acceptable.
What we advise you is not to do i’tikaaf. Yes, if your father says to you not to do i'tikaaf and he does not mention any reason for that, you do not have to obey him in that case, because you are not obliged to obey him in something that will not harm him if you go against him, and when there is a benefit for you in that thing.

I'tikaaf, (residing in the mosque for worship), - Dought & clear, - * Can the one who is observing i’tikaaf give lessons and halaqahs?

Share

Is it acceptable for the one who is observing i'tikaaf to teach someone or give a lesson?.
Praise be to Allaah.
It is better for the one who is observing i'tikaaf to focus on worship by himself such as dhikr, prayer, reading Qur’aan and so on. But if there is a need to teach someone or learn, there is nothing wrong with that, because it is also remembrance of Allaah (dhikr). End quote.
