If he remembers Me within himself, I remember him within Myself; and if he remembers Me in a gathering, I remember him in a better gathering; and if he draws one span nearer to Me, I draw one cubit nearer to him; and if he draws one cubit nearer to Me, I draw a distance of two outstretched arms nearer to him; and if he comes to Me walking, I go to him running.’” (Hadīth Qudsī, Bukhārī) ABOUT UMMAH WELFARE TRUST Recent decades have seen this final Ummah encounter unprecedented trials and calamities. Millions who have taken Allah as their Lord and His Messenger as their guide have suffered and perished amidst continuous wars, natural disasters and enforced poverty. -

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. -

Japanese Eating and Drinking Culture in View of Adab Education Concept As Guided in Relevant Ahaadeeth Muttafaqun ‘Alayh
Ibn Khaldun Journal of Social Science Vol. 1, No. 1, 2019, pp 11-21 DOI: 10.32832/ikjss.v1i1.2387 Japanese eating and drinking culture in view of adab education concept as guided in relevant ahaadeeth muttafaqun ‘alayh Nesia Andriana*, Imas Kania Rahman, Muhyani Universitas Ibn Khaldun Bogor, Indonesia *e-mail: [email protected] ABSTRACT Islamic society was born in an underdeveloped community with very limited natural resources of barren desert. The Arab Muslims conquered Mecca and started expanding their territory by conquering Rome in age just 26 years and Persia in 30 years. Followed by further expansion, Mus- lims conquered almost a third of the world and maintained the Islamic empire for about 8-10 centuries. At another point of history, Japan was also a country that has limited natural resources and frequently hit by natural disasters. Two of its major cities were destroyed by first developed atomic bombs in 1945; Japan declared its unconditional surrender in World War II and Japan became a country in ruins. However, it only took Japan a dozen years to recover, and even more, Japan has become a developed and politically stable country. This paper argues that the remark- able achievements made by both Japan and Islamic civilization resulted from developing and maintaining discipline daily habits from strong ethics and educational philosophies and concepts. Taking the most inevitable human daily habits, eating and drinking, as a focus, the writer con- ducted interview of some Japanese people and Indonesians who lived in Japan for over 10 years. The results of interview were compared with Rasoolullah peace be upon him and his companions’ eating and drinking habits as reported in relevant ahaadeeth muttafaqun ‘alayh. -

Make This Your Best Ramadan Yet! in the Name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful
A DAILY PLANNER AND GUIDE FOR ALL AGES! 3655 Wheeler Ave Alexandria, VA 22304 IRUSA.ORG 1-855-447-1001 Tax ID# 95-4453134 Make this your best Ramadan yet! in the name of allah, the most gracious, the most merciful All thanks and praise is due to Allah alone, the Lord of the Worlds. We praise Him, seek refuge with Him, and seek His forgiveness. We seek refuge with Allah from the evils of our souls, and the mistakes in our actions. Whomever Allah Guides, there is none who can misguide him, and whoever Allah misguides, there is none who can guide him. Verily, there is none worthy of being worshipped except Allah, and Muhammad (Peace be upon him) is His servant and Messenger. Allah (subhanahu wa ta’ala) reminds us in the Qur’an that the month of Ramadan contains limited precious days — with an extraordinary opportunity to reach out and connect to Him. He tells us of this powerfully, All the actions of people are for them, except for fasting. Fasting is for Me and it is I who rewards it. Hence the purpose of this month is Allah — and Allah (swt) alone. Fasting is a means to attain nearness to Him. Keeping this in mind, we must make the most of these days. The best way to take advantage of Ramadan is to develop a Ramadan action plan — because a failure to plan is a plan for failure. If you don’t set goals, it gets difficult to measure yourself and assess the current state of your worship. -
FIQ111 – Fiqh of Salat Q&A Rayyan Institute
FIQ111 – Fiqh of Salat Q&A Q: What is the differentiation between Mustahab and Sunnah ghair Mu’akada actions because wouldn’t ghair muakada also be included as recommended even though they are not emphasized? A: Sunnah Mu’akkadah are not emphasized although they are still in the “Sunnah” category therefore leaving them according to some fuqaha would at least be slightly disliked (makruh tanzihi). Leaving mustahabb on the other hand would not even be slightly disliked. Q: If one is in the habit of saying “Sallallahu alaiyhi wa Salam” everytime one hears Rasullullah (saw)’s name,and one says it when repeating after hearing “ashhadu anna Muhammadan Rasullullah” is this considered unnecessary or inappropriate? every time one hears his (ﷺ) A: The habit of sending blessings (salat) upon the Prophet blessed name is indeed a virtuous habit and this is what every believer should normally do. Although, in the case of the adhan, we have an authentic narration in Sahih Muslim which is as follows: as saying: When you hear (ﷺ) Abdullah ibn Amr ibn al-As reported Allah’s Messenger‘ the Mu’adhdhin, repeat what he says, then invoke a blessing on me, for everyone who invokes a blessing on me will receive ten blessings from Allah; …. (Muslim) is reserved for until ﷺ In this hadith, the command to send blessings on the Prophet after the adhan. Therefore, one will wait until the adhan ends and then recite any salat .ﷺ such as “allahumma salli ala muhammad …” etc.) one wishes upon the Prophet) during the adhan — when ﷺ The scholars mention that reciting salat upon the Prophet the second shahadah “ashhadu anna muhammadan …” is pronounced — has not been transmitted to us nor is a practice of the ummah. -

Jawadi’s Comment on ‘Allamah • A Glance at Narrations of ‘Alam al-Dharr • Treatment by Scholars Past and Recent • Conclusion ALI 588: The World of Pre-Existence_2 2 Review of Session One • The verse of ‘alast’ highlights three important points: • Direct witnessing of reality by every human being. • Awareness of that reality by every human being. • Responsibility towards that reality for every human being. • The first interpretation explains this verse in light of ‘alam of dharr. • This reality is explained in Shia and Sunni narrations of hadith. • Scholars have pointed out scriptural and theological concerns with this interpretation. ALI 588: The World of Pre-Existence_2 3 The Second Interpretation • The verse is employing symbolic language to describe Fitrah. Every human being is created in a manner that he witnesses his own servitude and the Creator’s Lordship. • Content and Style supported by Quran and hadith. and He said to it and to the earth, “Come!

Islamic Ethics in Australian Muslim Everyday Life: a Shi’Ite Perspective Mohamad Younes
Islamic Ethics in Australian Muslim Everyday Life: A Shi’ite Perspective Mohamad Younes Master’s Thesis in Sociology Spring Term 2017 Humanities and Communication Arts Western Sydney University 1 17481784 Mohamad Younes 2 17481784 Mohamad Younes ABSTRACT Despite the strong emphasis on ethics within the Islamic tradition, Islamic ethics itself is scarcely represented as a discipline within academic scholarship (Ansari 1989). Even within this area, Islamic ethics have predominantly been studied from Sunni perspectives, with little attention being paid to Shi’ite or other minority understandings. This thesis will, therefore, use qualitative data collection methods of semi-structured in-depth interviews and focus groups, to sociologically study the perceptions, understandings, and applications of Islamic ethics in Australian Shi’ite Muslim everyday living. It will investigate the overarching understanding of Islamic ethics and its specific application in Australian Shi’ite Muslim context. The project's objective, therefore, is twofold: one to strengthen Islamic ethics as an independent discipline; and two to address the scant attention Shi’ite Islamic ethics has received in Islamic ethics scholarship generally. Conceptually, this project will contribute to the understanding of Islamic ethics through a particular analysis of Shi’ite Islamic ethics in an Australian Shi’ite context. This is significant as specific understandings of Islamic ethics in certain contexts help to explain how minority groups such as Shi’ite Muslims develop their own ethical standards to shape social relations in society. In addition, this thesis argues for Shi’ite Islamic ethics to be highly Imamate based; that is, very reliant on the actions and sayings of 12 divinely guided Imams (leaders).
