A'maal of the Day of A'rafah A’MAAL FOR THE DAY OF ARAFAH The Day of Arafah Perhaps one of the most ‗sacred‘ days in the Islamic calendar - is the day of Arafah, the 9th of Dhul Hijjah – a time and place where Muslims all over the world congregate to worship Allah and to seek nearness to Him. Those performing the rites of the Hajj spend this day in prayer, contemplation and worship of the Divine on the dry desert of Arafah. However, those of us who have not been blessed with the opportunity to be on the plains need not despair of His Mercy as He is ever-Present. The land of Arafah is mentioned in the Qur'an where He says, ―Then when you stream out of Arafat remember God at the Holy Mashar, and remember Him as He has guided you, and earlier you were indeed among the astray. Then stream out from where the people stream out, and plead to God for forgiveness; indeed God is all-forgiving, all-merciful.‖ (2:198-199) Imam Jaffer al Sadiq (AS) said of those staying at Arafat as part of their hajj rites: ―For a believing man of any village who stays in Arafah, Allah (SWT) will forgive all the believing people of that village, and for a single man of a believing family who stays in Arafah, Allah (SWT) will forgive all the believing members of that family." What is the significance of not only the land of Arafah but also this sacred time? We are told that Arafah is when we need to focus all of our concentration on supplication, invocation and Tawassul – that is seeking an intermediary to Allah. Tawassul means to appeal to an individual who will petition Allah on our behalf and take our needs and requirements to Him, like doing Tawassul through our 14 Masumeen (AS). Our prayers and desires which we want from Allah to fulfill can be ‗anything‘ (legitimate) – however rather than asking for fame, fortune and other such fleeting things, perhaps one of the best invocations we can make is for us, our families, children and community members to be guided on the Straight Path and to remain stead-fast on it until death. A part of this Straight Path lies in education and a comprehensive understanding of the faith of Islam and thus, this is also something which we need to remember in our prayers to Allah. The scholars of the inner aspects of the Hajj tell us that a person who goes to Arafah or is blessed to experience the Aamaal of this day but is not successful in reaching the level of marifah (the true awareness of Allah and those things which He has held in high esteem such as the Prophets, the Messengers and the Imams) that has been mentioned (even in a small amount), in reality, has not experienced Arafah. A person who does not attain closeness to Allah; closeness to the one who was blessed with the station of Nubuwwah and those who are possessors of the Wilayah, in reality has done nothing more than put himself through difficulties and troubles in the performance of the fasting, prayers and supplications! On this blessing filled day, let us petition Allah for a greater marifah of our faith, His Prophets, His Messengers and His deputies – and that we are placed within the ranks of the 12th Imam to be along side him when he makes his advent.

  • Fiqh Diniyat Book
    FFiiqqhh ((LLaawwss)) Book 7 Lesson 1 Saláh Types of Wājib Salāh There are six types of wājib salāh: 1. The Five Daily Salāh. 2. Salāt al-Ayāt. 3. Salāt al-Mayyit (taught in Book 10). 4. Two Rak’ah Salāh after Wājib Tawāf of Ka’bah (taught in Book 10). 5. Compensation (qadā) salāh of a dead man that is wājib on the eldest son. 6. Salāh that becomes wājib due to an oath (nadhr, ‘ahd, qasam) or if one is paid to pray the qadā for someone deceased (as niyābah). Note: Salāt al-Jumu’ah (Friday prayer) is counted as part of the five daily prayers because it is prayed instead of Salāt adh-Dhuhr on Fridays. Mustahab (nāfila) prayers are studied in Book 9. The importance of salāh and not to take it lightly can be reviewed from Book 5 (Akhlāq Lesson 7). The Compensatory Prayer (Salāt al-Qadā) Qadā salāh is performed in compensation for a salāh that has not been performed during its proper time. It is wājib to make up all those prayers that have been missed for whatever reason, except for bāligha women who are excused from salāh at certain times of the month (which will be taught to the girls separately). Those who suffer from mental illness do not have to pray salāh. Also, a non-Muslim who becomes a Muslim does not have to pay qadā for the time before he or she became a Muslim. But if a Muslim loses his faith for a duration and then returns to Islām, he or she must make up for all the missed prayers.

In this regard, this article aims to reveal the ritual of the hajj in the ancient Arab society which is different from the current practice of Muslims nowadays. This article is a qualitative study using content analysis. The finding reveals that although Arab community remained to believe in Allah, but in view to the long gap between the two ages of Prophet Abraham and Prophet Muhammad (P.B.U.H.), they had mixed up the implementation of a true and wrong rituals in their pilgrimage. Keywords: Pilgrimage, Pagan Arabs, Kaaba, Mecca Introduction The term Jahiliyyah is derived from jahl which connotes a description of pre-Islamic Arab society who were ignorance of the God, the prophets, the way of life, and who were also arrogantly and imperiously proud of their lineage (Ibn Manzur n.d.). It was a dark age of the Arab history with the absence of divine light to guide their faith, and their lives were fully deviated and strayed from the religious method.

Literally, it means "hajj." Obviously, this name of the month indicates that the great annual worship of "hajj" is performed in this month, which gives it special significance. First Ten Days The first ten days of Dhul-Hijjah are among the most magnificent days in Islamic calendar. · “There are no days in which righteous deeds are more beloved to Allah than these ten days…..” (meaning of a part of Hadith given in Bukhaari) · “On no days is the worship of Allah desired more than in the first ten days of Zul-Hijjah. The fast of each of these days is equal to the fast of a whole year and the Ibaadah (worship) of each of these nights is equal to the Ibaadah of Laylatul-Qadr. (meaning of a Hadith in Tirmidhi and Ibne-Maajah). · Sawm (fast) on the Day of Arafah (i.e. the 9th Zul-Hijjah). “….

  • Illat in the Determination of Islamic Law in Indonesia
    Ulul Albab: Jurnal Studi dan Penelitian TheHukum Effect Islam of Masalikul ‘Illat in the Determination … 231 http://jurnal.unissula.ac.id/index.php/ua/index DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.30659/jua.v4i2.15605 The Effect of Masalikul 'Illat in the Determination of Islamic Law in Indonesia Dhiauddin Tanjung UIN Sumatera Utara Medan, Indonesia Jl. William Iskandar Ps. V, Medan Estate, Kec. Percut Sei Tuan, Kabupaten Deli Serdang, Sumatera Utara Email: [email protected] Abstrak Dalam penetapan hukum Islam, penentuan illat hukum memiliki peranan yang cukup signifikan. illat hukum adalah sesuatu yang dipahami dan dijadikan ulama sebagai dasar untuk menentukan dan menetapkan ada atau tidak adanya hukum. Karena itu, masalikul illat (metode pencarian dan penentuan illat hukum) harus dilakukan dengan baik dan maksimal. Dalam pemilihan masalikul illat Ulama memiliki cara pandang yang berbeda, sehingga memiliki pengaruh penetapan hukum Islam menjadi tidak sama. Puasa Arafah dan wuquf di Padang Arafah merupakan peristiwa yang sering dikaitkan dalam penetapan hukum syari’at puasa terutama pada zona wilyah yang jauh dari Mekah, karena itu penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mencari tahu illat hukum dalam penetapan syari’at puasa Arafah, apakah keduanya memiliki keterkaitan yang sama. Penelitian ini menggunakan data yang bersumber yuridis normatif dan disesuaikan dengan zona mathla’ wilayah. Penelitian ini menyimpulkan bahwa penentuan masalikul illat hukum syari’at puasa ‘Arafah memiliki pengaruh yang signifikan terhadap penetapan dan pelaksanaan hukum puasa ‘Arafah di seluruh dunia (terutama wilayah yang jauh koordinatnya dari Mekah). Jika ‘illat hukum yang ditentukan adalah wuquf di padang ‘Arafah maka wilayah yang jauh dari Mekah sekalipun waktunya sudah malam maka syari’at puasa ‘Arafah telah berlaku, namun bila illat hukum yang ditentukan adalah tanggal 9 Zulhijjah, maka syari’at puasa ‘Arafah berlaku sesuai dengan penentuan waktu/tanggal di wilayah tersebut.

    COURSE NOTES All that is good and correct is from Allah (subhanahu wa-ta‘ala) alone – the compilers are solely responsible for any mistakes and errors. Divine Link – Fiqh of Salah Shaykh Yaser Birjas 2 Bismillah al-Rahman al-Rahim 01 | Introduction Five days before the Prophet (sal Allahu alayhi wa sallam) passed away, he was on his deathbed. When you are on your deathbed and talk, you will be saying the most important things in your life. These are the last moments of you life. Think about that time and imagine that you were told that you would be dying in a few days. As you talk to people, what message would you deliver to people? It would be the most important things to you. The Prophet (sal Allahu alayhi wa sallam) five days before he passed away was suffering from the pains of death, and he was suffering for more than fourteen days. One of the companions came and saw him (sal Allahu alayhi wa sallam) aching so much. He said, “Ya Rasulullah, you are suffering so much pain. Why is that?” He (sal Allahu alayhi wa sallam) said, “I suffer double the pain any of you will suffer.” He said, “Is it because you are getting double reward?” He (sal Allahu alayhi wa sallam) said, “I hope so.” At that time, he (sal Allahu alayhi wa sallam) would feel the pain and cover his face, and then when it would stop, he would uncover his face and say, “La ilaha ilAllah. Death has its agonies and pains.” He used to fall unconscious and recover and fall unconscious and recover.

  • Fasting in Islam
    - 1 - Allah, the Exalted, has addressed all Muslim believers, saying: h3 ha(3) א/3fl uo à%0&א .ifl6fi fi]b^* א/hb#Uم ._h ifl6fi. *^ א/3fluo fl0 fi]fl^5- fi]o^Y/ àfi\½6!ن. O you who have believed, decreed upon you is fasting as it was decreed upon those before you that you may become righteous. 1 In this verse the Creator states that He had enjoined fasting in some form upon the followers of earlier prophets. And He mentions the purpose behind it: "that you may become righteous ." So fasting is a means to attain righteousness, piety and consciousness of Allah (taqwā). Fasting is a form of worship that is neither action nor speech. The Arabic words "ṣaum" and "ṣiyām" literally mean abstention, as shown in the Qur'ānic verse where Maryam, the mother of Prophet ʽEesā, is told: ,h½0+f ½ fl3v! fl0 א/+v15ْ t0).א ,\4fl/àfi 4#1+5 78 u1 +_0½v^fl/ h.0à6 ^, Q^.fi) א/àbْم h:bfl;1+5. "And if you see from among humanity anyone, say, 'Indeed, I have vowed to the Most Merciful abstention (ṣaum), so I will not speak today to [any] person.'" 2 In Islamic terminology, "fasting" means abstention from food, drink and marital intercourse from the break of dawn until sunset 3 with the specific intention of earning reward from Allah. While abstention might appear to be something negative, it is in fact positive in Islam, for it is done with the intention to obey Allah, come closer to Him and earn His approval and reward.

  • Qurbani 10Bestdays Booklet.Pdf
    Many people don’t know that the first ten days of Dhul Hijjah are better in the sight of Allah than all the other days of the year, with no exception. They are even better than the days of Ramadan, SubhanAllah! The Prophet Muhammad said, “No good deeds are better than what is done in these first ten days of Dhul Hijjah...” (Bukhari) Maybe you feel that you could have done more during Ramadan? Perhaps you’ve since let go of that Ramadan feeling? Well, these beloved ten days offer another chance to gain immense rewards, have our sins forgiven and reach great levels of piety, Insha'Allah. Deeds equal to Hajj and Umrah Nothing of course can equal physically performing Hajj Hajj and worshipping Allah in such a blessed place, but One of the best deeds that one can do during out of His generosity, He made the reward for certain these ten days is to perform Hajj actions similar to the reward of a Hajj. Alhamdulillah! Those who’ve been on Hajj know the beauty of entering Ihram (the sacred Remembering Allah from Fajr until Ishraq state), the journey to Mina and the blessed prayers on the day of 'Arafah in the Prophet Muhammad said: “Whoever prays Subh (Fajr) in congregation site of Allah . They’ve experienced the joy of collecting pebbles, the stoning and then sits in the place where he prayed, remembering Allah until the sun of the Jamarat and in offering the farewell tawaf. rises and then prays two rakat has the reward of a complete Hajj and Umrah.” He repeated “complete” three times.
