*- 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)./-

1] The guidance of the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) regarding i’tikaaf

1]
I would like to know the guidance of the Prophet (peace and blessings
of Allaah be upon him) with regard to i'tikaaf.
Praise be to Allaah.
The guidance of the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon
him) with regard to i'tikaaf was the most perfect and moderate of
guidance.
Once he observed i'tikaaf in the first ten days of Ramadaan, then in
the middle ten days, seeking Laylat al-Qadr. Then he was told that it
is in the last ten days, so then he always observed i'tikaaf during
the last ten days, until he met his Lord.
On one occasion he did not observe i'tikaaf duringthe last ten days,
so he made it up in Shawwaal and observed i'tikaaf during the first
ten days thereof. This was narratedby al-Bukhaari and Muslim. In the
year in which he died, he observed i'tikaaf for twenty days. Narrated
by al-Bukhaari, 2040.
It was said that the reason for that is that he knew his life was
drawingto a close, so he wanted to increase his good deeds, to show
his ummah how to strive hard in doing good deeds when the opportunity
for doing so drew to close, sothat they could meet Allaah in the best
way. And it was said that the reason was that Jibreel used to review
the Qur'aan with him once each Ramadaan, but in the year in which he
died, he reviewed it with him twice, which is why his i'tikaaf was
twice as long as usual.
A more likely reason is that he observed i'tikaaf for twenty days in
that year because the year before he had been traveling. This is
indicatedby the report narrated by al-Nasaa'i and Abu Dawood, and
classed as saheeh by Ibn Hibbaan and others, from Ubayy ibn Ka'b who
said: The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) used to
observe i'tikaaf during thelast ten days of Ramadaan, but he travelled
one year and didnot observe i'tikaaf, so thefollowing year he observed
i'tikaaf for twenty days. Fath al-Baari.
The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) used to order
that a kind of tent be pitched for him in the mosque, and he would
stay in it, keeping away from people and turning to his Lord, so he
could beon his own with his Lord in a true sense of the word.
On one occasion he observed i'tikaaf in a small tent, and put a reed
mat over the door. Narrated by Muslim, 1167.
Ibn al-Qayyim said in Zaadal-Ma'aad, 2/90:
All of this to achieve the spirit and purpose of i'tikaaf, and is the
opposite of what the ignorant do, whereby the place of i'tikaaf
becomes aplace of gathering and meeting with people and chatting to
them. This is one thing, and i'tikaaf as observed by the Prophet
(peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) is something else.
He used to stay in the mosque the whole time, and not leave it except
to relieve himself. 'Aa'ishah (may Allaah be pleased with her) said:
"He would not enter his house for anything except for a need when he
was observing i'tikaaf." Narrated by al-Bukhaari, 2029; Muslim, 297.
According to a report narrated by Muslim: "Except for human
needs."Al-Zuhri interpreted this as referring to urination and
defecation.
He (peace and blessings ofAllaah be upon him) madesure he remained
clean. He would lean his head out of the mosque into 'Aa'ishah's
apartment so that she should wash his head and comb his hair.
Al-Bukhaari (2028) and Muslim (297) narrated that 'Aa'ishah (may
Allaah be pleased with her) said: "The Prophet (peace and blessings of
Allaah be upon him) used to lean his head towards me when he was
observing i'tikaaf in the mosque, and I would comb his hair, when I
was menstruating." According to a report also narrated by al-Bukhaari:
"And I would wash it."
Al-Haafiz said:
This hadeeth indicates that it is permissible to clean oneself, put on
perfume, wash oneself, comb one's hair etc (whenin i'tikaaf). The
majority ofscholars are of the view that nothing is makrooh except
that which it is makrooh to do in the mosque.
When he was in i'tikaaf, the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be
upon him) did not visit the sick or attend funerals. This was so that
he could concentrate fully on conversing with Allaahand achieving the
purpose of i'tikaaf, which is to cut oneself off from people and turn
to Allaah.
'Aa'ishah said: The Sunnahis for the person in i'tikaafnot to visit
the sick or attend funerals, or to be intimate with his wife. But
there is nothing wrong with his going out for essential needs.
Narrated by Abu Dawood, 2473; classed as saheeh by al-Albaani in
Saheeh Abi Dawood.
"or to be intimate with his wife" means intercourse. This was stated
by al-Shawkaani in Nayl al-Awtaar.:->

Can he give zakaat al-fitr to the poor in the form of cash if they will not accept food?

Is it permissible to give the poor zakaat al-fitr in the form of cash
instead of food, if they will not accept food?
Praise be to Allah.
Zakaat al-fitr must be given in the form of food, and it is not
permissible to give it in the form of cash.
But, if the poor will not accept food and ask for cash, it is
permissible to give it in the form of cash in that case, and in that
case one will be excused for not giving it in the form of food.
Shaykh Ibn 'Uthaymeen (may Allah have mercy onhim) said:
With regard to one who knows that it must be in the form of food, but
he gives it in the form of cash because it is easier for him, that is
not acceptable. But in the example mentioned by the questioner, if we
cannot find anyone who will accept food, i.e., thereis no one who will
accept the rice or dates or wheat,and they will not accept anything
but cash, in that case we may give it in theform of cash. So we should
work out the cash value of a saa' of average quality food and give it
tothem.
End quote from Fataawa Noor 'ala al-Darb.
And Allah knows best.

How to be the best in everything

Khalid Ibn El-Waleed narrated the following:
A Bedouin came one day to the prophet and said tohim, "O, Messenger of

Files of your life

In that place between wakefulness and dreams, I found myself in a
room. There were no distinguishing features save for the one wall
covered with small indexcard files. They werelike the ones in
libraries that list titles by author orsubject in alphabetical order.
But these files, which stretched from floor to ceiling and seemingly
endlessly in either direction, had very different headings. As I drew
near the wall of files, the first to catch my attention was one that
read "People I Have Liked". I opened it and began flipping through the
cards. I quickly shut it,shocked to realize that I recognized the
names written on each one.
And then without being told, I knew exactly where I was.
This lifeless room with its small files was a crude catalog system for
my life.Here were written the actions of my every moment, big and
small, ina detail my memory couldn't match. A sense ofwonder and
curiosity, coupled with horror, stirred within me as I began randomly
opening files and exploring their content. Some brought joy and sweet
memories; others a sense of shame and regret so intense thatI would
look over my shoulder to see if anyone was watching.
A file named "Friends" was next to one marked"Friends I Have
Betrayed".The titles ranged from themundane to the outright weird.
"Books I Have Read", "Lies I Have Told","Comfort I Have Given","Jokes
I Have Laughed At".Some were almost hilarious in their exactness:
"Things I've Yelled at My Brothers." Others I couldn't laugh
at:"Things I Have Done in MyAnger", "Things I Have Muttered Under My
Breathat My Parents". I never ceased to be surprised by the contents.
Often there were many more cards than I expected. Sometimes fewer than
I hoped.
I was overwhelmed by the sheer volume of the life I had lived. Could
it be possible that I had the time in my 30 years to write each of
these thousands or even millions of cards? But each card confirmed
this truth. Each was written in my own handwriting. Each signed with
my signature.
When I pulled out the file marked "Songs I Have Listened To", I
realized the files grew to contain their contents. The cards were
packed tightly, and yet after two or three yards, I hadn't found the
end of the file. I shut it, shamed, not so much by the quality of
music, but more by the vast amount of time I knew that file
represented.
When I came to a file marked "Lustful Thoughts", I felt a chill
runthrough my body. I pulledthe file out only an inch, not willing to
test its size, and drew out a card. I shuddered at its detailed
content. I felt sick to thinkthat such a moment had been recorded.
An almost animal rage broke on me. One thoughtdominated my mind: "No
one must ever see these cards! No one must ever see this room! I have
to destroy them!" In an insane frenzy I yanked thefile out. Its size
didn't matter now. I had to empty it and burn the cards. But as I took
it at one end and began pounding it on the floor, I could not dislodge
a single card. I became desperate and pulled out a card, only to find
it as strong as steel when I tried to tear it. Defeated and utterly
helpless, I returned the file to its slot. Leaning my foreheadagainst
the wall, I let out a long, self-pitying sigh.
And then I saw it.
The title bore "People that I Have Taught About Allah". The handle was
brighter than those around it, newer, almost unused. I pulled on its
handle and a small box not more than three inches long fell into my
hands. I could count the cards it contained on one hand.
And then the tears came. Ibegan to weep. Sobs so deep that the hurt
startedin my stomach and shook through me. I fell on my knees and
cried. I cried out of shame, from the overwhelming shame of itall. The
rows of file shelves swirled in my tear-filled eyes. No one must ever,
ever know of this room.
I must lock it up and hide the key.
