provided or them o [sacricial] animals

[QURAN 22:28]

Ibn Abbas said the known days

reerred to in this ayah are the days o Hajj

which lie in Dhul-Hijjah.Ibn Abbas

said that the Prophet said: Tere are not

any days, in which righteous deeds are done

in them, more beloved to Allah than these

days, i.e., the ten days (o Dhul-Hijjah)...

(Bukhari) Saeed ibn Jubayrworked veryhard in these days. Ibn Hajar opined in

Fathul-Bari that the reason or the virtues

o these days is that the mothers o worship

lie in them: praying, asting, charity and

Hajj. Some o the scholars o Islam said

the Day o Sacrice (the 10th o Dhul-

Hijjah) is the best day o the year, thereby

emphasising its value.

Ibn Kathir said the ten

nights reers to the frst

10 days o Dhul-Hijjah.

current year. [MUSLIM]

Hasah said: Four things the

Messenger o Allah never neglected:

Observing ast on the day o Ashura,

Araat, three days every month, and

oering Fajr Sunnah prayers early in the

morning. [MUSLIM]

Allah also says: And remember

Allah during (speciic) numbered days[QURAN 2:203]

he Prophet said: he days o

ashreeq are the days o eating, drinking

and remembering Allah. [MUSLIM]

Ibn Umar and Abu Hurairah used

The Prophet and a

group o the Sahabah

used to recite Takbeer

ollowing each o the

fve prayers...

to go out to the market-place on the rst

ten days o Dhul-Hijjah, reciting akbeer,

and the people used to recite akbeer

because o their akbeer. [BUKHARI]

Umar ibn al-Khattaab and his son

Abd-Allaah used to recite akbeer

during the days o Mina in the mosque

and in the camps, and they would raise

their voices until Mina echoed with

their akbeer.



11/39

RECITE TAKBEER AFTER EACHOF THE 5 DAILY PRAYERS FROMFAJR ON THE DAY OF ` AR AFAH

Te Prophet and a group o the Sahabah

used to recite akbeer ollowing each

o the ve prayers rom Fajr on the day o

`Araah until `Asr on the thirteenth day

o Dhul-Hijjah.

In al-Musnad it is narrated rom

Ibn Umar that the Prophet said:

Tere are no days on which good deeds aregreater or more beloved to Allah than on

these ten days, so recite much ahleel (Laa

ilaaha ill-Allaah), akbeer (Allaahu akbar)

and ahmeed (al-hamdu Lillaah). Men

should recite out loud and women should

recite quietly.

Te takbeer is as ollows: Allaahu

akbar, Allaahu akbar, laa ilaaha ill-

Allaah, Allaahu akbar, Allaahu akbar,

wa Lillaah il-hamd (Allah is the Greatest,

Allah is the Greatest, there is no god but

Allah; Allah is the Greatest and to Allah

be praise).[Te Allaahu akbar may be

recited two or three times].

And once you have

made your intention to

sacrifce, rerain rom

cutting hair and nails...

OFFER A SACRIFICE...

Abd-Allaah ibn Umar said: he

Prophet stayed in Madinah or ten years,

oering sacriice (every year on Eid).

[AHMAD; AT-TIRMIDHI; AND CLASSED ASHASAN BY AL-ALBAANI IN MISHKAAT AL-MASAABEEH, 1475]

Umm Salamah said the Prophet

said: When you see the new moon o Dhul-

Hijjah according to another version, When

the ten days (o Dhul-Hijjah) begin andany one o you wants to oer a sacrifce, let

him rerain (rom cutting) his hair and

nails. [AHMAD AND MUSLIM]

According to another version: Let

him not remove anything rom his hair

and nails until he has oered the sacrifce.

And according to yet another version, He

should not touch his hair or skin.

MAKE TAWBAH(REPENTANCE)...

Abu Hurairah said that the Prophet

said: Verily Allah has a sense o Ghayrah

(honour, prestige and anger over its

violation), and Allahs sense o Ghayrah is

provoked when a person does that which

Allah has made prohibited.[BUKHARI AND MUSLIM]

RULING OF

UDHIYAH

Te Udhiyah or sacrice is Sunnah Muak-

kadah (a conrmed, never missed, Sunnah)

and thereore highly recommended to

perorm i able to do so. Some scholars

hold the view it is obligatory.

Te one (not perorming the Hajj)

who intends to oer the sacrice (either

directly or through an agent): Must not

remove anything rom his hair or skin on

his body or cut his nails rom the moment

he makes the intention until the sacrice

is completed.

Te Prophet said: When you see

the new moon o Dhu l-Hijjah, and one

o you wants to oer a sacriice, let him

rerain rom (removing anything) rom

his hair or nails. [MUSLIM]

In another version: Let him not remove

anything o his hair or skin.

6 CONDITIONS FOR

THE UDHIYAH

It should be rom one o the anaam

class o animals camels, cattle, sheep

and goats.

he animal should belong to the

person who is oering the sacrice,

or he should have permission or that

either on the grounds o the Shariah

or rom the owner.

Te animal must be adult; or camels

It should be slaughtered at the time

speciied in the Shariah, which is

anytime ater the Eid prayer on Eid

ul-Adha until the sun sets on the

13th o Dhul-Hijjah although i it

preerable to hasten in its perormance.

Slaughtering beore or ater these

times will mean the sacriice is

invalid unless there is an excuse or

its delay, e.g., the animal ran away

with no negligence on his part, and

he did not fnd it until ater the time

was over, or i he delegated someone

to do it on his behal and his deputy

animal that has not reached maturity

or a sheep less than 6 months old.

It should be ree rom any aults:

- Obvious eye deect

- Obvious sickness

- Obvious lameness

- Emaciation that leaves no

marrow in the bones

No one else should have any rights

to the sacricial animal; the sacrice

o an animal that is held in pledge is

not valid.



15/39

Reviving Sunnahs that have been

orgotten brings a great deal o

reward, as is indicated by the words

o the Prophet: Whoever revives

one o my Sunnahs that has died out

ater I am gone, will have a reward

like that o everyone who does it,

without that detracting rom their

reward in the slightest.

(AT-TIRMI DHI (HASA N BECAUSE OF CORROBORATING REP ORTS)


16/39

USEFUL NOTES

One mans sacriice will suice his

entire amily, no matter how many

wives and children he may have, buthe may oer more than one i he wishes.

Slaughtering is better than giving the

monetary equivalent in charity because

the Prophet slaughtered.

Te one who intends to oer sacrice but

removes hair or skin or nails rom the

body (without excuse or orgetulness)

is not to pay a ransom but must repent

and seek Allahs orgiveness.

Slaughtering is better

than giving the

monetary equivalent

in charity because the

Prophet slaughtered.

Te best sacrice is a camel, then a cow

(i one oers the whole animal), then a

sheep, then a goat, then one-seventh oa camel, then one-seventh o a cow (i

one shares in a sacricial animal).

By the order o Allah, Abrahambuilt upon thesame oundations o the Kabah previously used by

Adam. He did so with the help o his son Ishmael

who was the frst to live in Makkah along with

his mother Hagar. It was revealed in the Quran

that Allah showed the site o the oundations to

Abraham in order or him to build it.


22/39

Abrahamused stones without

using the equivalent o cement to

hold each stone in place. When

he reached the Black Stone level he

requested his son Ishmaelto provide

him with a stone to mark the starting

point o tawa (circumambulation). Itwas Angel Gabriel who came with

the Black Stone, which today marks the

starting point o each tawa.

Abraham made two openings

without any closing doors. On the north

side o the Kabah he built a sloping

lattice work which is known as al-Hijr.

Historians estimate the age o Abrahams

building to be around 4000 years.

In the years since then the building

has been reconstructed many times,

oten due to natural disasters. One o

the rst known reconstructions was

by the Arab tribe known as Jurhum, which lived in Makkah. Ater them,

the eorts o the Amaliqa tribe, and

o Qusay Ibn Kilab, an ancestor o the

Prophet Muhammad .

Signicantly, when Prophet Muhammad

was a young man, beore he received

prophethood, the Kabah was destroyed

And [mention, O Muhammad],

when We designated orAbraham the site o the House,

[saying], Do not associate

anything with Me and puriy My

House or those who perorm

tawa and those who stand [inprayer] and those who bow

and prostrate. (Quran 22:26)

by ash oods. It was the tribe o

Quraysh that set about rebuilding it

and they made the intention to use only

lawul money in the construction. Tis

proved to be in short supply, leading to

the building being shortened on the side

adjacent to Hijr Ishmael.Te wooden items or construction were

purchased by the Quraysh tribe rom the

owners o a ship broken into parts at the

port o Al-Shuaiba. Tey hired a ship

captain to assist them in building it in the

style o building common to the people o

ash-Sham, in Syria.

When replacing the Black Stone on

the Kabah, the dierent tribes o the

Quraysh all wanted to put the stone

back into place themselves and a dispute

arose. Tey resolved that the next person

to walk into the area would solve this

dispute. It pleased the people o theQuraysh when Muhammad , who was

known as Al-Amin (the trustworthy),

walked through. He resolved to put

the Black Stone on a large cloth and

summon each o the our tribal leaders

to hold one corner o the cloth; the

Quraysh rejoiced at this suggestion.

IN THE NAME OF ALLAH, THE BENEFICENT, THE MERCIFUL

Say: He is Allah, the Unique.

Allah, the Sel-Sufcient.

He does not give birth, nor was He born.

And there is none equal to Him.(Quran 112)

Saya decisive statement which

you believe in and be aware o

He is Allah(God), (the) One

which means, the oneness is

conned in Him, He is the one

who alone possesses perection,

Who has the most beautiul

names and perect supreme

attributes and holy deeds. Heis unexampled and matchless.

Allah-us-Samad (Allah

the Sel-Suicient Master)

whom all creatures need; all

the habitants o the upper

and lower world are in utmost

need o Him. Tey ask Him

or their needs and seek Him

or their concerns because He

is perect in all his attributes;

He is the all-Knowing Whose

knowledge is perect; He is

the Most-Forbearing whose

orbearance is perect; and he

is the Most-Merciul Whose

mercy is perect and embraces

all thing.

And o His perectionsthat He begets not, nor was He

begottendue to the perection

o his opulence [reedom o

all needs]

And there is none co-equal or

comparable unto Him.Neither

in His names and attributes nor

in His deeds. Glory be to God.


26/39

Allah, the Sel-Sufcient.

Say: He is Allah, the Unique.

Allahs uniqueness is realized in

His sel-sufciency. On the other

hand, all created beings have needs

and are dependent on others to

ulil their needs. Allah is not

in need o any o His creation in

any way, as nothing they can do

can better or benet His already

perect state. Tis attribute o sel-

suiciency invites the believers

to reect on the purpose and the

goals o their worship. Most people

worship as i they are doing God

a avour. Te purpose o human

creation is to worship Allah because

all human beings have a need to

worship Him. He has no need or

or rom them. Human beings need

to worship and gloriy God because

obedience to divine law is the key

to their success in both this lie and

the next.

his verse represents Allahsown afrmation o His unique

monotheism, His inimitable

Unity. hus, the irst verse is

a command to the Prophet

(peace and blessings o Allah

be upon him), and whoever

reads or recites this verse, to

airm Allahs Unique Unity.

He is one like whom there is noother. Tere are many unities in

this world, but they all are notunique as each unity has others

similar to them. For example,

there is one Mount Everest, but

there are other tall mountains

similar to it. In the case o Allah,

there is no other unity similar

to Him. All other unities can be

divided into parts, while Allah

is unique in His unity and is assuch indivisible.



27/39

He does not give birth, nor was He born.

And there is nothing equal to Him.

He Allah does not give birth, becausethere is nothing similar to Him. A child

is made rom portions (sperm and ovum)

o the bodies o its parents which is why

it is similar to its parents in orm and

characteristics. I God gave birth, there

would be another god like Him, which

His uniqueness has already negated. Te

Almighty also rejected the concept o

having a child rom the perspective that

bearing ospring usually requires a emale

partner similar in orm to the male. Allah

also rejected ospring rom the general

perspective that it is not betting, since

to have a child would reduce Him to the

status o His creatures. Tis answers the

question o those who claim that since it

is agreed that God can do anything, He

should be able to have a son i He wished.

It is not betting because it would make

God like His creatures. Furthermore,

people have children out o a need or help

to survive in this material world or out o

the need or continued existence through

ones progeny. By describing Himsel as

Sel-Sufcient, Allah also negated this

possibility.

Nor was He born, subtly rejects thenotion that Jesus was God, because he was

born. For God to be born, He must rst

have not existed, which contradicts the basic

unique divine attribute o eternal existence.

Allah closes the chapter with a restatement o

the opening verse. I God is unique, nothing

can be equal to Him. I nothing is equal to

Him, then He alone is unique. I He alone

is Sel-Sufcient and all creation is in need

o Him, nothing in creation can be equal

to Him. I He does not bear ospring, nordid anyone or anything give birth to Him,

nothing or no one can be equal to Him as

every created being came into existence ater

a period o non-existence. Every created

being has something similar to it, called its

pair, or something resembling it, called its

equal. I the Creator were rom one or other

o these species He would have an equal and

a similitude.

Tus, this chapter contains the genealogy

and description o God, the Most Merciul.

It was revealed by Allah to reute belies

attributed to Him by misguided people

concerning His similitude, bodily orm,

origin and ospring. For example, those

who paint pictures or make statues o Allahare claiming similitude, those who worship

others besides Him claim similitude, and

those who attribute some parts o His

creation to others besides Him claim

similitude. However, nothing is similar to

Him in His Attributes, His Dominion or

His Divinity.

Tereore, only He alone deserves to be

worshipped by His creatures.

Honestyin

BY FAHD AL-OBAOIDI



29/39

What does honesty mean ?

In Islam, Muslims are ordered to be honest

both to themselves and to others. This order

is mentioned in the Holy Quran and the

sayings o Prophet Muhammadrepeatedly.

Honesty is the opposite o lying,

the opposite o blufng, the opposite

o hypocrisy, the opposite o

avouritism, and the opposite o deceit.

Honesty implies telling the truth in all

cases and under all circumstances.

Honesty implies ulflling the promise,

whether written or oral.

Honesty implies giving the right advice

to the one who asks or it.

Honesty implies doing ones work as

sincerely and as per ectly as possible.

Honesty means giving every person his

due rights without his asking or them.

Honesty means doing the right thing in

the right way at the right time.

Honesty implies the right selection o

personnel and the r ight promotion o

personnel, i.e., selection by merit and

promotion by merit, not by temper or

avouritism or personal relations.

Honesty is a blanket term that covers

a wide range o traits; telling the truth,

sincerity in work, carry ing out duties,

ulflling ones word, being objective

in judgement, and making objective

decisions.

Honesty implies carrying out duties as

ully as possible, whether the person is

supervised or not.

The Prophet said:

Ummah who will come on the

Day of Resurrection with good

deeds like the mountains of

Tihaamah, but Allah will make

them like scattered dust.

Awoman came to the Prophet andsaid:A woman prays a lot in addition

to the obligatory prayers, asts a lot in

addition to the obligatory asts and gives

too much charity in addition to the zakah

but she harms her neighbour; what is her

condition? Te Prophet said: She is in

Hell-Fire.Te woman then asked, And

what then about the woman who prays only

the obligatory prayers, asts the obligatorymonth and gives the obligatory zakah but

doesnt harm her neighbour? He, She is

in Paradise.

O reader, dear Muslim, do not be

conused. Tis Hadeeth will erase the

doubt rom your mind. Te Prophet

said: Te one who is bankrupt among my

Ummah is the one who will come on the

Day o Resurrection with prayer, astingand zakah to his credit, but he will come

having slandered one person and shed the

blood o another and wrongully consumed

the wealth o a third, so (his victims) will

be given some o his hasanaat (good deeds),

and i his hasanaat run out beore the score

is settled, some o their sins will be taken

and thrown onto him, and he will be

thrown into Hell.

Consider that the one who engagesin all the obligatory acts o worship, in

their proper time and manner and couples

it with requent observance o voluntary

acts is in the Hell-Fire is like the water

container, ed at one end by the rivers and

oceans o the world but spotted within it

are little holes Never will it retain the

water. Te holes represent ones looking at

women, insulting people, harassing people,mocking people etc. (the minor sins).

Te Prophet said: I certainly know

people o my Ummah who will come on the

Day o Resurrection with good deeds like

the mountains o ihaamah, but Allah will

make them like scattered dust.

I you have saved money would you

like to waste it? O Muslim. Te reward

or the Muslims is greater than all thetreasures o this world. Paradise can only

be obtained through ones eorts in this

lie and then the mercy o Allah, azza

wa jall. Dont make such great eorts,

going hungry and tired in asting and

prayer, go to waste through disregard or

the small sins.
