Dought & clear, - Sunnah prayer for one who misses Fajr prayer in congregation

Share ::-

:->










If a Muslim misses Fajr prayer in congregation because he was asleep or for some other reason, when should he offer the two rak‘ahs of Sunnah prayer, is it before or after praying Fajr?
Praise be to Allah
If a person misses Fajr prayer in congregation and did not catch up with it, then he should start with the Sunnah prayer and offer that first, then pray Fajr. When the Prophet (sa) slept one night and missed Fajr prayer whilst travelling, and nothing woke him up except the heat of the sun, he offered the Sunnah prayer then he prayed Fajr, and he gave instructions that the adhaan and iqaamah should be given as was usual. So if a person misses Fajr prayer and does not wake up until after the people have prayed, or he comes to the mosque and finds that the people have already prayed, then he should offered the Sunnah prayer of two rak‘ahs, then pray Fajr. This is the Sunnah.
But if he delays it until after the prayer or after the sun has risen, there is nothing wrong with that. But it is preferable to start with it, as the Prophet (blessings and peace of Allah be upon him) did when he missed the prayer on one of his journeys.
If he comes to the congregation and finds them already praying and he prays with them without having offered the Sunnah prayer first, he may offer it after the (obligatory) prayer, to make it up, or he may offer it after the sun has risen and become high, which is preferable. Both options are mentioned in the hadeeth, and he has the choice, in sha Allah: he may offer it after Fajr, in the mosque or at home, or if he wishes he may offer it after the sun has risen and become high. The matter is broad in scope, praise be to Allah, and both are mentioned in hadeeths from the Prophet (blessings and peace of Allah be upon him).

For children, - Bahlool Dana (wisdom) proves the three facts to Abu Hanifa, Belief in Allah (Tawhid)

Share ::-

Abu Hanifa was once teaching Islamic beliefs to his students. He was arguing and challenging the validity of some of the statements which had been proclaimed by his teacher sixth Imam, Imam Jafar Sadiq (as). Bahlool Dana happened to be present as well. Abu Hanifa proclaimed that he could not agree with the three understated statements as made by sixth Imam, Imam Jafar Sadiq (as).
The first one was that "Allah (SWT) can never be seen." According to Abu Hanifa it was impossible for a thing to exist and yet be invisible! The second thing that sixth Imam, Imam Jafar Sadiq (as) had stated was that "Shaitan (Satan) will be thrown in the inferno of Hell which will scorch him bitterly." Abu Hanifa argued: "How it was possible for fire to hurt 'fire', the fact that Shaitan (Satan) was created from fire itself!"
The third statement of sixth Imam, Imam Jafar Sadiq (as) was that "Man alone is responsible for his actions and Allah (SWT) - the most powerful - has nothing to do with his actions." "How is it possible, when Allah (SWT) alone guides the destiny of man without Whose will nothing can happen?" This was Abu Hanifa's third challenge.
As soon as the speaker, Abu Hanifa, had made these three criticisms against his teacher sixth Imam, Imam Jafar Sadiq (as), Bahlool Dana got up, took a piece of brick and aiming at Abu Hanifa, let it go and cracked Abu Hanifa head.
Bahlool Dana was caught and taken before the Judge for punishment. In his defense, he pleaded that he had done nothing else except reply to the three criticisms which Abu Hanifa had made against sixth Imam, Imam Jafar Sadiq (as).
The Judge asked him to explain as to how and why he chose to reply by hitting and injuring Abu Hanifa. Bahlool said, "This man claims that if Allah (SWT) is there, then he must be seen. He is now complaining of pain in his head due to the brick having hurt him. If the pain is definitely there, can he show me where it is? Well! Just as pain can be there without being seen Allah (SWT) also exists without being seen."
"Secondly, Abu Hanifa says that fire cannot burn fire. It is a fact that man is made out of clay and this brick with which I hit his head is also made out of clay, if clay can inflict pain and hurt clay, why can't fire do the same to fire?"
"The third thing Abu Hanifa says is that man is not responsible for his own actions but Allah (SWT) does all things. If this is so, then why does he want justice from you and why does he want me to be punished for hurting him? He might as well transfer the punishment to Allah (SWT) Who, according to him - is responsible for all the actions of man!"
Everyone in the court was stunned at this and Abu Hanifa was dumb founded - having nothing to say. So Bahlool Dana was released without any punishment.
Thus, while some Muslim sects believe that Allah (SWT) can be seen, perhaps on the Day of Judgement, the Shia Muslims say that Allah (SWT) is the creator of everything; He was not created and as such he has no body like us that can be seen. If we can still believe in unseen things like air, electricity and human soul, why can't we believe in the unseen Allah (SWT)?
If we are responsible for our actions and are to be punished or rewarded accordingly, then it is only fair and just that Allan (SWT) should not manipulate or compel us to do things but leave us alone to act the way we see it fit, and be answerable for those actions ourselves.

Fathwa, - Her husband rejects his daughter to be traced back to him

Question
I have known my husband five years and we have been married four. After two years of marriage in the US he went home to Tunisia. The US would not let him return for ten years because of overstay of visa. I went to Tunisia and fought for his return. In this period I became pregnant. It took 15 months of hard work but in short his case was approved. He returned and stayed without work for 6 months and had work for 1 and a half months and left. Now he is saying our daughter Khadeejah is not his daughter and he has even taken his last name from her. He will not take a test to prove that she is his and he will not help me in anyway with her. I am Muslim and have only been for three years. I have much to learn. But I would have never thought that a Muslim man would do this. But he says he is standing behind Islam in his choice. Where would I find this in the Quran? I have read he must bring four witnesses. In the Islamic way what can I do? I already know what I can do here in the western world. But I am looking for the way of Islam.
Answer
All perfect praise be to Allaah, The Lord of the Worlds. I testify that there is none worthy of worship except Allaah, and that Muhammadis His slave and Messenger.
First of all, it should be noted that in principle a Muslim is innocent and it is not permissible to accuse him/her of a dishonour ]with something immoral[ without evidence, especially in matters of dignity, and mainly between the husband and his wife. Allaah Says )what means(: }O you who have believed, avoid much ]negative[ assumption. Indeed, some assumption is sin.{]Quran 49:12[. If a man accuses his wife of having committed adultery, then he should bring four witnesses for his claim, orthey should perform Li'aan )which is when each of them makes an oath he is truthful in his claim and then asks Allaah to curse the one who is lying( otherwise, he should be whipped for accusing a chaste woman of committing adultery.
If a married woman is pregnant and gave birth to a child, the child is traced back to her husband and it is not permissible for him to deny the child from his lineage, and he is not permitted to do so except if he performs Li'aan with his wife in which case the child will be traced back to her. It is confirmed that the Prophetsaid:"The baby belongs to the owner of the bed )i.e. the husband(."]Al-Bukhaari and Muslim[ Therefore, it is an obligation to advise this husband, if it is confirmed that he is accusing you of adultery, as he should not accuse you of having committed adultery without evidence, or reject his daughter to be traced back to him. He should be reminded about the religious view on this matter as we discussed. If he still persists on accusing you of adultery, and refuses to accept the daughter as his, then you may take the matter to an Islamic court or to an institution which usually attends to personal matters in non-Muslim countries like Islamic centres and the like.
It should be noted that it is not permissible to resort to man-made laws )i.e. civil courts( without a necessity. Also, refusing lineage is not decided by sperm test, as in principle the family lineage is confirmed, and the evidence is the above narration in which the Prophetsaid:"The baby belongs to the owner of the bed."So, this principle should not be neglected because of a suspicion which is subject to many deficiencies. For more benefit, please refer to Fatwa 88510.
Finally, we advise you to be patient and wise, while invoking Allaah to relieve your grief and make a way out to your difficulty. You should know that Allaah will be with you if you are really wronged, and He will make the truth overcome. Furthermore, you should know that Islam protects your rightsmore than any other religion or law, and Islam is disowns the behaviour of this man, if he is as you mentioned.
Allaah Knows best.
