A Sermon from the Dying to the Living

There once lived in Basrah a prolific and profoundly spiritual worshipper whose fear of the Hereafter caused him to become physically weak, and whose constant crying made him skinny and sick. When he was on his deathbed, his family gathered around him, and they all began to cry. “Help me sit up.” He said. He addressed his father first: “O my father, what is making you cry?” “My son,” began his father, “I remembered that I will lose you, and

Day of Arafah

No smartphones, gadgets, connection etc on the plain of #Arafah matter. Rather it is our connection to the Creator Allah that’s of paramount importance. May Allah give the Hujjaj the tawfeeq to utilise the blessed day properly, ameen. On this blessed day while a few millions will be on the plain of Arafah crying and begging to Allah, let us also occupy ourselves in Dua. If we cannot exert ourself in Ibaadah the most we can do is stay away

Number of Rak’ah in Taraweeh

Some people think that Taraawee’h comprises of eight raka’aah only. This is not correct . In the unanimous opinion of all the Imams, Taraawee’h consists of twenty raka’aah. Although no Imam agreed upon less than twenty raka’aah, Imam Malik holds an opinion of 32 raka’aah. This means that in the consensus of all the Imams no one agrees upon less than twenty raka’aah. Moreover, we can know from Ibn Abbaas’s narration that he led taraawee’h for two or three nights

A Good Sealing State: Husn al-Khatima

By Mufti Abdur Rahman ibn Yusuf The final state of a person at the time of death is what matters in the Hereafter. In this article, we discuss some of the causes for both good and evil sealing states, and how a person’s inner traits will dominate at the time of death.
