I S N ' T I T C A L L E D ' V A C A T I O N ' ? ! W H Y E M P H A S I Z E W H A T W E C A N ' T D O ? W e've all said it before: "I'm on my non-prayer days!" or "I'm on 'vacation'!" While it is true that we cannot pray ṣalāh during our periods, there is a lot that we actually CAN do. And honestly, who goes on 'vacation' from worshiping Allāh? Not us! N O T P R A Y I N G I S . O B E D I E N C E ? Yes! Menstruating women are commanded not to pray for the duration of their monthly cycles. So when we do not pray ṣalāh during our period, we are actually following Allāh's command. Prayers that start after our period has begun are excused for us! W H A T A B O U T R A M A D A N ? F asting is also not allowed for us when we are on our periods. Unlike ṣalāh, missed Ramaḍān fasts have to be made up. We have to plan ahead to make up these fasts outside of Ramaḍān. S O , W H A T C A N W E D O I N S T E A D ? We can fill our moments with dhikr! Allāh has created so many ways for us to gain and maintain nearness to Him. Dhikr is just one of these ways, and during our periods, we can use our established prayer times to remember Allāh!

The Promised Messiah (peace be on him) came to eradicate bad customs and practices. Reciting Surah Fatihah behind the Imam is an virtuous practice and is better than not reciting. With respect to offering Quranic prayers in Ruku Sujud, it should not be done. Those people who accuse other Muslims of apostasy are indeed the ones who will have a bad ending. January 27th 2017 Hazrat Khalifatul Masih ( ABA) said: Last Friday I spoke on the importance of observing Salat and I have been receiving letters from the members of Jama'at and office bearers in which they mentioned that it was a timely reminder.

  • Review the Virtues of Ahl Al-Bayt (AS) in the Interpretation of the Hadith, Muhammad Darozeh
    Quran and Hadith Studies, Vol. 9, No. 1, Autumn 2015 & Winter 2016 , Serial. 17 9 Review the Virtues of Ahl al-Bayt (AS) in the interpretation of the Hadith, Muhammad Darozeh Sayeed Mahdy Lotfy1 Received: 2014/11/24 Atefeh MohammadZadeh2 Accepted: 2015/12/28 Two sect's differences of opinion in the interpretation of the verses of the virtues of Ahl al-Bayt (AS) can be checked in a multi-axis way. In most cases the difference in commentators comments dating back to withdraw from the appearance of the signs, their context, traditions and historical documents, and the situation of descent. Shia Quran scholars on the basis of proper accounts Infallibles (AS), know these versus to appreciate close relatives of the Holy Prophet Muhammad (pbuh). But according to the revelation of verses and chapters, and verses context and some Sunni commentators and traditionists Mohammad thinks these as to be fake and that it’s because they consider religious intolerance. Amidst many discussions, he warns the necessity of respect of Ahlul Bayt (AS), however, he believes there are not any relationship between the revelation of certain verses and general lack of special occasion in their case and their content with the honor of Ahlul Bayt (AS). In this article we analysis and review Darvazeh’s arguments with the help of the text and extra-textual evidence, and the Shia and Sunni sources. Keywords: the Holy Qur'an, the virtues of Ahl al-Bayt (as), traditions, Darvazeh , Tafsir Al-Hadith. 1- Assistant Professor in Quranic Science and Hadith in the University Isfahan.

  • Movement and Stillness: the Practice of Sufi Dhikr in Central Asia
    14 Movement and Stillness: The Practice of Sufi Dhikr in Fourteenth-Century Central Asia Shahzad Bashir Stanford University In this chapter, Shahzad Bashir argues that the Sufi practice of dhikr presupposes a continuum between mind and body, and between the individual and his social setting, in particular his master. This contrasts with the modern notion of meditation as a mental technique undertaken by an individual, in which the body and the social setting are typically seen as mere ancillary elements. The chapter describes Central Asian Sufi discussions during the fourteenth to fifteenth centuries CE over whether one should move or hold still the tongue and other parts of the body whileperforming dhikr, both camps placing equallystrong emphasis on the body;including its external physicalproperties and its internal 'subtle' aspects.The chapter also points out that the instruction and guidance of a master situated within a chain of Sufiauthority is seen as a necessaryand integral part ofthe practice of dhikr. Bytreating indi~idual practice and social factors in a conjoined way,Bashir argues for continual re-examination of the issue of terminology in the study of meditational paradigms. As evident from the contents of this volume, the wide scope of the term meditation is a major benefit underscoring its use as a comparative category. To attempt to define meditation and ask the question whether a particular concept or idea falls within the category are intellectually productive endeavours irrespective of particular results. In this chapter, I take this perspective for granted and, going one step further, draw the term meditation into a single orbit with an Islamic concept that has a long history and can refer to a wide array of practices.

  • Dhikr' in Egypt

Hoffman University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign, [email protected] Follow this and additional works at: https://digitalcommons.unomaha.edu/jrf Recommended Citation Hoffman, Valerie J. (1998) "Ritual, Music, Sociability and Censure: Making a Film on Sufi dhikr' ' in Egypt," Journal of Religion & Film: Vol. 2 : Iss. 1 , Article 7. Available at: https://digitalcommons.unomaha.edu/jrf/vol2/iss1/7 This Article is brought to you for free and open access by DigitalCommons@UNO. It has been accepted for inclusion in Journal of Religion & Film by an authorized editor of DigitalCommons@UNO. For more information, please contact [email protected]. Ritual, Music, Sociability and Censure: Making a Film on Sufi dhikr' ' in Egypt Abstract The author describes her experiences attending and filming the Sufi ritual of communal dhikr in deror to create an educational videotape approximately a half-hour in length that would include commentary and translation of some of the lyrics and could convey Sufi dhikr as ritual, art (in the form of music and poetry), and social event. Dhikr is the "remembrance" of God through concentrated repetition of some of his "Beautiful Names," accompanied by stylized movements of the body such as bowing or swinging from side to side, often employing methods of breath control and done in some countries (Egypt included) to musical accompaniment. Author Notes Special Section: Bringing the World to the Classroom This article is available in Journal of Religion & Film: https://digitalcommons.unomaha.edu/jrf/vol2/iss1/7 Hoffman: Ritual, Music, Sociability and Censure No other aspect of the academic teaching of religion demands an audiovisual presentation more than ritual.
