The Non-Material Things that Disrupt the Fast – Shaykh al-Albānī

Shaykh al-Albānī, may Allāh have mercy upon him, said:

Allāh, the Exalted and Most High, says in the Noble Qurān:

يَا أَيُّهَا الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا كُتِبَ عَلَيْكُمُ الصِّيَامُ كَمَا كُتِبَ عَلَى الَّذِينَ مِن قَبْلِكُمْ لَعَلَّكُمْ تَتَّقُونَ
O you who believe! Fasting is prescribed for you as it was prescribed for those before you, so that you may become people having Taqwaa. [Sooratul-Baqarah (2): 183]

So in this āyah, as will not be hidden to all those who are present, Allāh, the Mighty and Majestic, informs the Ummah of Muḥammad (صلى الله عليه و سلم) , through this āyah, that He has made fasting obligatory upon them just as He had made its like obligatory upon the nations before us. This is a matter that is well-known to all of the Muslims who read this āyah, and clearly understand its meaning. But what I wish to speak about is something else, a matter which very few of the general people notice – and this is the saying of Allāh, the Exalted and Most High, at the end of this āyah: Continue reading →

The Character Of The Prophet In Ramaḍân

The Noble Scholar Shaykh Ibn Bāz (may Allâh have mercy upon him) stated:

Being that Allâh created His Prophet (صلى الله عليه وسلم) upon the most complete description and the most noble of it as has come in the narration of Abu Hurayrah (may Allâh be pleased with him) the Prophet  (صلى الله عليه وسلم) said:

Indeed I have only be sent to complete the noble character.

The Messenger of Allâh (صلى الله عليه وسلم) was the most generous of all the people. Likewise he is the most noble, most courageous and most complete in all of the praiseworthy characteristics. His generosity consisted of all the categories of generosity. His generosity use to increase in Ramaḍân more so than other months just as the generosity of his Lord increases in it.

Did Not Eat Saḥūr – Does He Have To Renew His Intention To Fast?

Shaykh Muḥammad Ibn Ṣâliḥ `Uthaymīn (may Allâh have mercy upon him) stated:

Eating the Saḥūr is Sunnah. If the person eats it, it is better. This is based on the statement of the Prophet  (صلى الله عليه وسلم):

Take the Saḥūr for indeed there’s a blessing in the Saḥūr. (Bukhāri and Muslim)

If he doesn’t eat it, there’s no sin upon him. Many from amongst the people eat much at night for dinner so when the person gets up during the last part of the night he doesn’t have the desire for food and remains (sufficed) upon his dinner. Continue reading →

It Is Human Nature To Forget

On the authority of Abu Hurayrah  (may Allāh be pleased with him) that the Prophet (صلى الله عليه وسلم)  said:

مَنْ نَسِيَ وَهُوَ صَائِمٌ، فَأَكَلَ أَوْ شَرِبَ، فَلْيُتِمَّ صَوْمَهُ، فَإِنَّمَا أَطْعَمَهُ اَللَّهُ وَسَقَاهُ – مُتَّفَقٌ عَلَيْهِ
Whoever forgets while he is fasting and he eats or drinks, let him continue (complete) his fast. Indeed it was only Allāh who fed him and gave him drink. (Agreed Upon)

The Noble Scholar Shaykh Ibn Bāz (may Allāh have mercy upon him) commented:

This is a virtue from Allāh (‘azza wa-jall). Mankind is prone to forgetfulness just as the Prophet  (صلى الله عليه وسلم) said: “I am a human being like you. I forget just as you forget.”
Forgetfulness is from human nature. Therefore if he forgets while he is fasting in Ramadan or fasting as an expiation or fasting for a reason other than these two and he eats or drinks or he has done another one of the things that breaks the fast out of forgetfulness, his fast is sound.

Striving Against One’s Soul

The Noble Scholar Shaykh Ṣālih al-Fawzān (may Allāh preserve him) stated:

Striving against one’s soul: It’s that the person strives against himself in obedience of Allah (‘azza wa-jall). He commands his soul with the obedience of Allāh and mandates it with the obedience of Allāh. He also prohibits it from the disobedience of Allāh and prevents it from that. The person is in a struggle with himself throughout his entire life. Whoever doesn’t have the ability to strive against himself, he doesn’t have the ability to strive against other than himself. It is not possible for the person to strive (for the sake of Allāh against others) except when he has striven against himself firstly by mandating his soul with the obedience of Allāh and withholding it from the disobedience of Allāh. The soul commands with that which is evil, except that which your Lord has had mercy upon (from the souls). Therefore the person is to strive against it until it complies with the obedience of Allāh. Then in that case the person can turn to the remaining categories of striving (for the sake of Allāh). Continue reading →

نية الصوم وحكم الجهر بالنية

نية الصوم وحكم الجهر بالنية

النبي صلى الله عليه وعلى آله وسلم يقول : إنما الأعمال بالنيات ، وإنما لكل امرئ ما نوىهذا دليل على أنه لا بد من النية في الأعمال

فالذي يظهر أن ينوي الشخص في كل يوم

وليس معناه أن يقول : نويت أن أصوم يوم كذا وكذا من رمضان ، ولكن النية القصد ، فقيامك للسحور يعتبر نية ، وإمساكك عن الطعام والشراب يعتبر نية

الصيام تربية في الحقيقة

:قال العلامة ابن مفلح رحمه الله تعالى

قال أحمد -رحمه الله تعالى-: ينبغي للصائم أن يتعاهد صومه من لسانه ولا يماري ويصون صومه؛ كانوا إذا صاموا قعدوا في المساجد  وقالوا: نحفظ صومنا ولا نغتاب أحدا ولا يعمل عملا يجرح به صومه. قال الأصحاب -رحمهم الله-: يسن له كثرة القراءة والذكر والصدقة وكف لسانه عما يكره ويجب كفه عما يحرم من الكذب والغيبة والنميمة والشتم والفحش ونحو ذلك. قال العلامة الشيخ العثيمين رحمه الله تعالى: وقوله -رحمه الله- يجب اجتناب هذه الأشياء يدل على أن الصيام تربية في الحقيقة وأن الإنسان إذا صام شهرا كاملا وقد حجز نفسه عن هذه المحرمات فسوف يتأثر ويتأقلم  وتختلف حاله، أما حال الكثير من الناس اليوم فالغالب أنه لا يؤثر لأنهم في النهار في أكثره نائمون وفي الليل ساهرون
