Do the Dead hear our supplications

Do the Dead hear our supplications?

By: Shaikh Muhammad bin Jamil Zeeno (rahimahullaah)

Question: Do the Dead hear our supplications?

Answer: No, they do not hear, as Allaah said:

وَمَا أَنْتَ بِمُسْمِع مَنْ فِي الْقُبُورِ

…But you cannot make hear those who are in graves. (Fatir, ayah 22)

Ibn ‘Umar (radiallaahu ‘anhumma) said: “The Prophet (salallaahu ‘alayhi wa sallam) stood at the graves of the idolaters at Badr and recited:

فَهَلْ وَجَدْتُمْ مَا وَعَدَ رَبُّكُمْ حَقّا

‘…So have you also found true, what your Lord promised (warnings, etc.)?’… (Al-A’raf, ayah 44)

Then he said: Verily, they hear what I am saying now.“

When this was mentioned to ‘Aa`ishah (radiallaahu ‘anha), she said: “The Prophet (salallaahu ‘alayhi wa sallam) only said: Now, they certainly know that what I used to tell them was the truth.”

She then recited (this verse):

إِنَّكَ لاَ تُسْمِعُ الْمَوْتَى

Verily, you cannot make the dead to hear… (An-Naml, ayah 80)”

Qatadah, the narrator of this hadeeth (from Ibn ‘Umar), said: “Allaah brought them to life to make them hear his (the Prophet’s words) words as a rebuke, humiliation, punishment, grief and remorse.” (al-Bukhaaree)

This Hadeeth teaches:

1. That these idolaters slain (at Badr) were caused to hear temporarily by the Order of Allaah. This is proven by the Prophet’s saying: Inaahum Al`Aan yas`ma’oona (“Verily, they can hear now…),” which implies that later, they will no longer hear, as Qatadah – the narrator of the hadeeth – said: “Allaah brought them to life to make them hear his (the Prophet’s) words as a rebuke and humiliation…”

2. ‘Aa`ishah’s refutation of Ibn ‘Umar’s version that the Prophet (salallaahu ‘alayhi wa sallam) did not say, “they hear,” but rather he said, “Now, they certainly know” was based on the verse:

إِنَّكَ لاَ تُسْمِعُ الْمَوْتَى

Verily, you cannot make the dead to hear… (An-Naml, ayah 80)

3. The versions of Ibn ‘Umar and ‘Aa`ishah (radiallaahu ‘anhum) can be reconciled in the following manner: The fact is that the dead cannot hear, as is plainly stated in the Qur`an. However, Allaah brought to life the idolaters slain (at Badr) miraculously for the Messenger’s sake, so that they could hear him – as Qatadah, the narrator of the Hadeeth states – and Allaah knows best.

Subhanak Allaahuma wa bihamdika ash-hadu anlaa illaaha illa anta astaghfiruka wa atubu ilayk

If I said anything correct, then it is from Allaah (subhanahu wa taa’ala), and if I erred, then that is from me and shaytan.

Takkaburr Gunah Hai

بسم اللہ الرحمٰن الرحیم
السلامُ علیکم و رحمۃ اللہ و برکاتہ

یہ واقعہ برٹش ایئر لائنز کے جہاز پر پیش

تلخیص ملاحظہ فرمائیے۔

جنوب افریقیا کے شہر جوھانسبرگ سے لندن آتے ہوئے پرواز کے دوران،

اکانومی کلاس میں ایک سفید فام عورت جس کی عمر پچاس یا اس سے کچھ زیادہ تھی کی نشست اتفاقا ایک سیاہ فام آدمی کے ساتھ بن گئی۔

عورت کی بے چینی سے صاف لگ رہا تھا کہ وہ اس صورتحال سے قطعی خوش نہیں ہے۔

اس نے گھنٹی دیکر ایئر ہوسٹس کو بلایا اور کہا کہ تم اندازہ لگا سکتی ہو کہ میں کس قدر بری صورتحال سے دوچار ہوں۔

تم لوگوں نے مجھے ایک سیاہ فام کے پہلو میں بٹھا دیا ہے۔

میں اس بات پر قطعی راضی نہیں ہوں کہ ایسے گندے شخص کے ساتھ سفر کروں۔

تم لوگ میرے لئے متبادل سیٹ کا بندوبست کرو۔

ایئر ہوسٹس جو کہ ایک عرب ملک سے تعلق رکھنے والی تھی نے اس عورت سے کہا،

محترمہ آپ تسلی رکھیں،

ویسے تو جہاز مکمل طور پر بھرا ہوا ہے

لیکن میں جلد ہی کوشش کرتی ہوں کہ کہیں کوئی ایک خالی کرسی تلاش کروں۔

ایئرہوسٹس گئی اور کچھ ہی لمحات کے بعد لوٹی تو اس عورت سے کہا،

محترمہ، جس طرح کہ میں نے آپ کو بتایا تھا کہ جہاز تو مکمل طور پر بھرا ہوا ہے اور اکانومی کلاس میں ایک بھی کرسی خالی نہیں ہے۔

میں نے کیپٹن کو صورتحال سے آگاہ کیا تو اس نے بزنس کلاس کو بھی چیک کیا مگر وہاں پر بھی کوئی سیٹ خالی نہیں تھی۔

اتفاق سے ہمارے پاس فرسٹ کلاس میں ایک سیٹ خالی ہے۔

اس سے پہلے کہ وہ سفید فام عورت کچھ کہتی،

ایئرہوسٹس نے اپنی بات کو مکمل کرتے ہوئے کہا،

ہماری کمپنی ویسے تو کسی اکانومی کلاس کے مسافر کو فرسٹ کلاس میں نہیں بٹھاتی،

لیکن اس خصوصی صورتحال میں کیپٹن نے فیصلہ کیا ہے کہ کوئی شخص ایسے گندے شخص کے ساتھ بیٹھ کر اپنا سفر ہرگز طے نا کرے۔

لہذا۔۔۔۔

ایئرہوسٹس نے اپنا رخ سیاہ فام کی طرف کرتے ہوئے کہا،

جناب محترم،

کیا آپ اپنا دستی سامان اُٹھا کر میرے ساتھ تشریف لائیں گے؟

ہم نے آپ کیلئے فرسٹ کلاس میں متبادل سیٹ کا انتظام کیا ہے۔

آس پاس کے مسافر جو اس صورتحال کو بغور دیکھ رہے تھے،

ایسے فیصلے کی قطعی توقع نہیں رکھ رہے تھے۔

لوگوں نے کھڑے ہو کر پر جوش انداز سے تالیاں بجا کر اس فعل کو سراہا جو کہ اس سفید فام عورت کے منہ پر ایک قسم کا تھپڑ تھا۔

بنی آدم جس کی پیدائش نطفے سے ہوئی,

جس کی اصلیت مٹی ہے,

جس کے اعلیٰ ترین لباس ایک کیڑے سے بنتے ہیں,

جس کا لذیذ ترین کھانا ایک (شہد کی) مکھی کے لعاب سے بنتا ہے،

جس کا ٹھکانا ایک وحشتناک قبر ہے

اور ایسا تکبر اور ایسی بڑائی۔۔
سبحان الله والحمد لله..

الذي خلق السماوات والأرض وما بينهما..

الذي لا يحب كل مختال فخور

~If U do Not & U can NEVER do it ~Fear the FIRE whose FUEL is MEN & Stones~The Great Challenge to Produce {'Quran'}

'Bismillahir Rehmanir Raheem'.

'Assalam Alaikum Wa Rehmath

Ullahi Wa Barkatahu'.

The Great Challenge to Produce One Chapter Like the Chapters of the Holy Quran.

Allah' has said in the Quran:-

And if you are in doubt about what We have revealed (the Quran) to Our worshiper (Muhammad ), then produce a chapter like it, and call your witnesses (supporters and helpers) besides God if yo

u are truthful.

And if you do not do it, and you can

NEVER do it,

then fear the Fire (Hell) whose fuel is men and stones. It has been prepared for disbelievers.

And give good news O Muhammad to

those who believe and do good deeds, that for them are gardens (Paradise) in which rivers flow..."

[Source:-Quran,Surat Al-Baqarah

(The Cow) - سورة البقرة 2:23-25]

Ever since the Quran was revealed, fourteen centuries ago, no one has been able to produce a single chapter like the chapters of the Quran in their

beauty, eloquence, splendor,

wise legislation,

true information,

true prophecy,

and other perfect attributes.

Also, note that the smallest chapter in the Quran (Chapter 108) is only ten words, yet no one has ever been able to

meet this challenge, then or today. Some of the disbelieving Arabs who were enemies of the Prophet Muhammad tried to meet this challenge to prove that Muhammad was not a true prophet, but they failed to do so. This failure was despite the fact that the Quran was revealed in their own language

and dialect and that the Arabs at the time of Muhammad were a very eloquent people who used to compose beautiful and excellent poetry,

still read and appreciated today!

The smallest chapter in the Holy Quran (Chapter 108)

is only ten words, yet no one has ever been able to meet the

challenge to produce one chapter like

the chapters of the Holy Quran.

My 'Salaams' To You All.
"All that is on earth will Perish. But will abide {Forever}

the Face of thy Lord, full of Majesty, Bounty and Honour"

{'Quran'- Surah Al-Rahman-55.26-27 }

I Want to Die With my Forehead on the Ground!
The Sunnah in my Heart, Allah on my Mind,
Qur'an on my Tongue, and Tears in my Eyes!

'Insha Allah'!

" its NOT Hijaab If it is see Through " " HIJAAB 2 Part

Bismillahir Rahmanir Raheem

Assalam Alaikum Wa Rahmath Ullahi Wa Barkatahu

 

 

If  it  is  see - through,

its  NOT  Hijaab 

You CANNOT Use Chiffon Or Other See Through Material To Cover Your Hair And Body. Everything Should Be Covered And The Color Of The Skin Underneath Should Not Be Visible. 
  
The Prophet (Sallalahu Alaihe WaSallam) Once Received A Thick Garment As A Gift. He Gave it To Osamah b. Zayd, Who in Turn Gave it To His Wife. When Asked By The Prophet Why He Did Not Wear it, Osamah indicated That He Gave it To His Wife. The Prophet Then Said To Osamah " Ask Her To Use A " Gholalah" Under it (the garment) For I Fear That it (the Garment) May Describe The Size Of Her Bones."

(Ahmad, Abi-Dawood) 

(The word gholalah in Arabic means a thick fabric worn under the dress to prevent it from describing the shape of the body). 
  
The   Hijaab  shouldn’t

  attract  attention 
 
The Dress Should Not Be Such That it Attracts Men's Attention To The Woman's Beauty. Allaah Clearly States

" Not To Display Their Beauty (zeenah)." 

Yet, Subhaan Allaah, Some Hijaabi Sisters Are Dressed in Such A Way That They Attract More Attention To Themselves Than They Would if They Didn’t Wear Hijaab !! How Could Such Zeenah Be Concealed if The Dress is Designed in A Way That it Attracts Men's Eyes To The Woman ? It Beats The Purpose Of Hijaab. 
 
Allaah Tells Us :

" And Stay in Your Houses, And Do Not Display Yourselves Like That Of The Times Of ignorance…"

 [Al-Ahzaab:32]

..:: Important Islamic JurisprudenceTerminology ::..

..:: Important Islamic JurisprudenceTerminology ::..

» Fard – Obligatory:

An act commanded by Allah in the Holy Qur’an is known as Fard. The following explains a Fard in detail:

a. An act that is obligatory to be executed
b. It has been proven by rigorously authenticated texts
c. The denial of any Fard renders one to come out of the folds of Islam.
d. If one omits to perform any Fard without any valid shari’i reason, then such a person becomes a fasiq (transgressor) and the person is regarded as a major sinner. [Fatawa Ridawiyyah – Vol. 2, Page 194]

» Wajib – Necessary:

An act that is almost as compulsory as a Fard. The Messenger of Allah SallAllaho Alaihi wa Aalihi wa Sallam never omitted it. It is a graded second, below a Fard in its necessity.

a. An act that is compulsory to do.
b. It is proven by religious arguments through ijtihad.
c. One who denies a Wajib is misguided.
d. If one omits a Wajib without any valid shari’i reason, then he is a transgressor and liable for the punishment of Hell.
e. To miss a Wajib once (deliberately, without any valid reason) is a minor sin (Gunah-e-Saghira). However, persistently omitting a Wajib shall turn it into a major sin (Gunah-e-Kabira).

» Sunnat-e-Mu’akkadah:

“Sunnat” generally means: an act done or liked by the Messenger of Allah SallAllaho Alaihi wa Aalihi wa Sallam in relation to worship. One shall gain reward for performing a Sunnah, but there is no sin of on omits it. However, to continually omit it is a sin, and if one shows dissatisfaction to a Sunnah, then this is kufr (disbelief).

a. Sunnat-e-Mu’akkada is an act necessary to perform.
b. An act that was always performed by the Messenger of Allah ], but occasionally omitted so as to differentiate from something that is Wajib.
c. One gains the displeasure of Allah Most High and His Beloved Prophet SallAllaho Alaihi wa Aalihi wa Sallam if a Sunnat-e-Mu’akkadah is omitted even if it is occasionally. Thus, making it a habit to omit a Sunnat-e-Mu’akkadah is an act of earning even more displeasure of Allah and His Beloved and inevitably, one becomes liable for punishment.
d. The status of a Sunnat-e-Mu’akkadah is near a Wajib.
e. Sunnat-e-Mu’akkadah is sometimes known as Sunnat-e-Huda.

» Sunnat-e-Ghayr Mu’akkadah:

a. If it is performed one shall reap reward.
b. The Messenger of Allah had performed such an act, but also omitted it without any reason.
c. To omit a Sunnat-e-Ghayr Mu’akkadah is disliked in the Islamic Law (Shari’ah). However, one is not punished for this.
d. Sunnat-e-Ghayr Mu’akkadah is also known as Sunnat-e-Zawa’id.

» Mustahab – Desirable Acts:

a. An act that is appreciated by the Sacred Islamic Law (Shari’ah)
b. There is no harm if one omits it
c. One gains reward for doing it, but one is not punished for omitting it.

» Mubah:

a. An act that is neither commanded nor prohibited by the Shari’ah.
b. There is no reward for doing it, and no punishment or omitting it.

» Haram – Unlawful:

a. Totally forbidden in Islam.
b. Proven by rigorously authenticated texts.
c. Anyone who denies something proven from the Qur’an and Hadith to be Haram, becomes a kafir.
d. If this act is committed deliberately and intentionally, even once, then such a person is a transgressor (fasiq), and has committed a major sin (Gunah-e-Kabira). Thus, such a person shall be punished.
e. To refrain from such acts is rewarded.
f. Haram is considered the opposite of Fard.

» Makruh-e-Tehrimi:

“Makruh” generally means something that is not desirable i.e. something that is disliked by the Islamic Law.

a. Makruh-e-Tehrimi is something that is essential to refrain from.
b. To do an act that is Makruh-e-Tehrimi is a sin and against the commands of the Shari’ah.
c. Anyone who does it is a Fasiq, and will be punished.
d. There is reward to refrain from such acts.
e. If such acts are done once, then they are not classed as a major sin. However, to persevere on such acts does turn it into a major sin (Gunah-e-Kabira).
f. It is considered the opposite of a Wajib.

» Isa’at:

a. An act that is necessary to avoid.
b. It is considered the opposite of Sunnat-e-Mu’akkadah.

» Makruh-e-Tanzihi:

a. An act that is disliked by the Shari’ah.
b. If this act is done, then there is no sin or punishment. However, it is bad to make it a habit of doing such an act.
c. One gains reward for not doing it.
d. It is considered the opposite of Sunnat-e-Ghayr Mu’akkadah.

» Khilaf-e-Awla:

It is best to avoid such acts, but if done then there is no sin or punishment. It is considered the opposite of Mustahab.
