PONDER….PONDER….PONDER…
on this collection by our Blessed Nabi SallAllahu alaihi wasallam on Salat…. 
 

Salat was the first and foremost thing ordained by Allah Ta’ala, and it shall be the first and foremeost thing to be reckoned for on the Day of Judgement.

Fear Allah in the matter of Salat! Fear Allah in the matter of Salat! Fear Allah in the matter of Salat!

Salat intervenes between man and shirk.

Salat is the mark of Islam. A person who says his Salat at the fixed hours with sincerity and devotion, observing all its regulations including the Mustahabat, is surely a Mu’min.

Of all things that have been ordained by Allah Ta’ala, Iman and Salat are the most valued. If there were any other thing better than Salat, then Allah Ta’ala would have ordained it for His Angels, some of whom are always in Ruku and others in Sajdah.

Salat is the pillar of Islam.

Salat abases the Shaytan.

Salat is the light of the Mu’min.

Salat is the best Jihad.

Allah Ta’ala keeps relenting towards a person so long as he is engaged in Salat.

When a calamity befalls us from heaven, people frequenting the Masjid are spared and saved.

Fire has been forbidden to touch those parts of the body which touch the ground while performing the Sajdah.

Of all the practices, Salat made at fixed hours is most loved by Allah Ta’ala.

Allah Ta’ala likes most the posture of a person when he is in Sajdah, pressing his forehead on the ground in humility.

A person in Sajdah is nearest unto Allah Ta’ala.

Salat is the key to Jannah.

When a person stands in Salat the gates of Jannah are let open and all the veils between him and Allah Ta’ala are lifted.

A person in Salat knocks at the door of the sovereign Lord, and the door is always opened for him who knocks.

The position of Salat in Islam is as the position of the head in a body.

Salat is the light of the heart. Let those who wish enlighten their hearts through Salat.

If a person wishes to have his sins forgiven by Allah Ta’ala, he should perform the Wudhu properly, offer with devotion two or four Rak’ats of Fardh or Nafl and then pray to Allah Ta’ala. Allah Ta’ala will forgive him.

Any strip of earth, on which Allah Ta’ala is remembered in Salat takes pride over the rest of the earth.

Allah Ta’ala accepts the prayer of a person who prays to Him after performing two Rak’ats of Salat. Allah Ta’ala grants him what he prays for, sometimes immediately and sometimes (in his own interest) later.

A person who performs two Rak’ats of Salat in seclusion, where nobody except Allah Ta’ala and His Angels see him, receives a writ of deliverance from the fire of Jahannam.

Grant of one prayer (wish) becomes due to a person from Allah Ta’ala after each Fardh Salat performed by him.

The fire of Jahannam is forbidden and Jannah becomes due to a person who performs his Wudhu properly and says his Salat conscientiously, according to its regulations.

The Shaytan remains scared of a Muslim so long as he is particular about his Salat, but no sooner does he neglect it than the Shaytan gets hold upon him and aspires for success in seducing him.

Salat at its early hours is the most excellent practice.

Salat is the offering of the pious.

Salat at its early hours is a practice most like by Allah Ta’ala.

At dawn, some people go to the Masjid and some to the market. Those going to the Masjid are the flag-bearers of Iman and those leaving for the market are the flag-bearers of the Shaytan.

The four Rak’ats before Zuhur have the same reward as the four rak’ats of Tahajjud.

The Mercy of Allah Ta’ala turns towards a person standing in Salat.

The comfort of my eyes is in Salat.

Of all the practices, Salat is the dearest to me.

Salat at the dead of the night is most valued, but there are very few who do it.

Jibreel Alaihis Salam came to me and said: O Muhammad SallAllahu alaihi wasallam! However long you shall live, you shall die one day, and whoever you may love, you  shall depart from them one day. Surely, you shall receive the recompense of whatever (good or evil) you do. No doubt the dignity of a Mu’min is in Tahajjud and his honour is in contentment and restraint.”

Two Rak’ats in the late hours of the night are more valuable than all the riches of this world. But for fear of hardship to my followers, I would have made these obligatory.

Keep offering Tahajjud, for it is the path of the righteous and the means of approach to Allah Ta’ala. Tahajjud keeps one away from sins, causes forgiveness of sins and improves the health of the body.

Allah Ta’ala says, ‘O son of Adam! Do not be weak in offering four Rak’ats in the early part of the day, for I shall suffice you in all you do in the rest of it.’

He who performs Ruku or Sajdah, his rank is elevated by one degree and one of his sins is forgiven.

Say Amin when the Imam has recited Ghairil maghdubi ‘alaikhim waladhalin. For undoubtedly whosoever’s words Amin coincides with the words of the Angels , all his past sins are forgiven.

When the son of Adam recites the verses in which there is Sajdah and then falls down in Sajdah, Shaytan withdraws into seclusion and weeping he says, Woe unto me! The son of Adam was commanded to make Sajdah and he obeyed and made Sajdah, so for him is eternal Paradise. And I too was commanded to make Sajdah but I refused and so for me is the eternal doom of the hell Fire.

Indeed a person completes his Salat and only one-tenth of the maximum reward is written for him. Likewise for some one-ninth, one-eighth, one-seventh, one-sixth, one-fifth, one-fourth, one-third or half of it is written.

Allah Ta’ala continues to turn attentively towards His slave while he is engaged in Salat, as long as he does not turn his attention. When he turns his attention away, Allah Ta’ala turns away from him.

Offer Salat like the one who is bidding farewell to the world and as though you see Allah Ta’ala and if you do not see Him, verily He sees you.

The worst of thieves is the one who steals from his Salat. The Sahabah RadhiAllahu anhum asked how can one steal from his Salat. They were told by not performing its Ruku and Sajdah perfectly, or not keeping the back straight in Ruku or in Sajdah. Another narration mentions that Sajdah is performed so fast like the pecking of a crow.  

The example of a Fardh Salat is like a weighing scale. Whoever gives in full, receives in full.

~*~ 

Insha’Allah after reading and pondering, the devotion and humility in one’s Salat can be increased, then ALHUMDULILLAH 

All good is from Allah Ta’ala whereas mistakes are from this humble speck. May Allah Ta’ala Bless all readers, bringing you all closer to Him and His Rasul SallAllahu alaihi wasallam. May He accept our humble efforts and grant us the capacity to be good and do good. Ameen.

"O messenger of God! My parents have died, is there anything left with which I may be good to them?" And he replied: "There are four things: praying and asking forgiveness for them, carrying out their promises, being good to their friends, and giving proper attention to those kinship bonds which could only have been attended to by them."

And the Prophet said, blessings and peace upon him: "Were it not for the living the dead would have been doomed". In other words, because of the prayers and requests for forgiveness and for mercy which they receive.

And he said, blessings and peace upon him: "My Nation is a nation covered with mercy. Its members enter their graves with sins like unto mountains, and leave their graves having been forgiven because the living have asked forgiveness for the dead."

It is related that the gifts of alms, prayers, and Quranic recitation sent by the living to the dead reach them carried by the angels on plates of light, and adorned with silk handkerchiefs, and they say to them: "This gift is from so—and—so," and in this way they find joy and delight.

How the Living may help the Dead from The Lives of Man excerpted from here. 

 

 
 
 
Thousands crowd the ramps leading up to the entrance for brothers, or lining the fence for sisters, daily after Asr until approximately one hour before Maghrib when the guards, police and commandoes begin their pleas for all to depart. The crush in the heat is akin to Hajj crowds and at the moment the second ramp designated for sisters is not open, making the conditions extremely difficult. Pushing, shoving, elbowing, wheelchairs bashing into others as well as numerous vendors with their trolleys and wares on the ground add to the commotion. It defies reason and safety and denying the sanctity of this Mubarak Garden why they are permitted into this area, and why the second ramp is not open. The majority of sisters are Iranians, with a few Pakistanis, while the brotheres seem to be from many nationalities, including Saudis.
 
Sisters huddle behind the fence to pay their respects, make Du’a, recite Qur’an and various other verses, qasidas. Brothers have access to the most of the area inside, but also face restrictions.  
 
 
 
They are grouped in areas where they are ‘lectured’. Staff, shaded by umbrellas are stationed at all the major grave sites ensuring the correct adab is followed, according to the Saudi way. 
 
 
 
Few are seen at individual grave sides.

"You should know that it is recommended to visit graves. The Messenger of God, blessings and peace be upon him, permitted this after having at first forbidden it.

It contains benefits both for the living visitor and the dead person who receives the. The Prophet said, blessings and peace be upon him, "Visit graves, for they are a reminder of death." And "I used to forbid you to visit graves, but now you should visit them. They render one able to do without the things of the world, and remind one of the Hereafter." He also said: "No man visits the grave of his brother and sits by it but that he (the dead man) finds solace in this, having his spirit restored to him until the visitor departs." And he said: "A dead [person] in his grave is never more comforted than when those that he loved the world pay him a visit."

When a visitor enters the cemetery or passes it by he should say: "Peace on you, O place of believers. We are granted respite until tomorrow. That which you were promised has come to you, and we will, God willing, rejoin you. You are our predecessors and we are your followers. I ask God to us and you well being. O God forgive us and them."

It is recommended to visit the cemetery on Thursday night, Friday, Friday night until sunrise, and on Monday, for it is said—and this is supported by various narrations—that the spirits of the dead return to their graves at those times.

The visitor must ask for forgiveness and mercy for them, read whatever Quran he can and make over the reward to them, he should remember that soon he will go to the same end, and learn the lessons to be drawn from their condition.

When he visits the graves of his parents, relatives or anyone else who had rights over Him, he must sit with unhurried serenity, pray for them, and ask abundantly for forgiveness, for they rejoice at this, and are glad."

‘Visiting Graves’ from same above link.

 
 
 
Said `Abd Allah ibn `Ubayd ibn `Umayr at a funeral, ‘I have heard it said that the Emissary of God (may God bless him and grant him peace) once declared, "The dead man sits up and hears the footsteps of those that are present at his funeral, but none addresses him save his tomb, which says, ‘Woe betide you, O son of Adam! Did you not fear me and my narrowness, and my corruption, terror and worms? What have you prepared for me?"

The Remembrance of Death and the Afterlife, from The Revival of the Religious Sciences (Ihya `ulum al-din) by Abu Hamid al-Ghazali (1058-1111 CE) or CD set here, excerpt here.

 

 
 
 
After the squash of descending the ramp one battles even more markets of Shaytan where this reminder seems as a distant illusion, and yet here we are IN the illusion:
 
"Every soul shall taste death in the end; to Us shall you be brought back."
(29:57)
 
 
 
 

Alluhumma Salli ‘alaa Sayyidna Muhammad wa ‘alaa Aali Sayyidna Muhammad ‘adada kulli dharRatin alfi marRatin.

O Allah send blessings upon our master Muhammad and upon the descendants of our master Muhammad by the number of each atom a thousand times.

JUMA’AH MUBARAK!

A Juma’ah where the remembrance of all dear departed are the focus of the hearts and where the reality of our purpose here is reflected upon.

 

All good is from Allah Ta’ala whereas mistakes are from this humble speck. May Allah Ta’ala Bless all readers, bringing you all closer to Him and His Rasul SallAllahu alaihi wasallam. May He accept our humble efforts and grant us the capacity to be good and do good. Ameen.

Standing on the raised viewing walkway that extends out from the fence on the western and northern sides of Baqi Ghraqad one can see the progress being made on the courtyard extension. It is amazing to see how much has been achieved in the past fifteen months, from the initial excavations.

Mu’ath ibn Jabal reported that our Beloved Messenger of Allah SallAllahu alaihi wassalam said to him: "O Mu’ath, a believer in this world is like a prisoner. He knows well that he is watched. He acknowledges that his hearing, sight, tongue, hand, foot, stomach and sexual organ are under constant scrutiny. Even his glimpses and glances or whatever he gazes upon is recorded, even should he be looking at the droppings of a bird, or beautifying his eyelids with kohl. Every minute of striving he endures is closely watched. A true believer cannot trust the constancy of his own heart. There is nothing that can calm his ultimate concerns, and even then, he does expect to meet his death at any moment. Thus, his own piety becomes his observer, the Qur’an his guide, fear of wrongdoing his proof, nobility his trade, caution his companion, awe his mark, prayers his cavern, fasting his shield of protection, charity his relief, truthfulness his attendant, chastity his commander, and behind all of that stands the glory of his Lord to watch over his performance. O Mu’ath, knowing the revealed Qur’an has subdued the believer’s desires and wants, and by God’s leave, the Qur’an stands to save him from his possible demise. O Mu’ath, I love you for what I love myself, and I have conveyed to you what the archangel Jibreel Alaihis salam, has told me. If you recognize that, I do not know anyone who will be happier than you when you meet me on the Day of Resurrection and enjoy the excellence God Almighty has brought out of you.

Directly behind all this concrete and steel is the Mubarak earth caressing and protecting the blessed inhabitants of Jannatul Baqi, with Jabal Uhud’s loving gaze adding to the calm. This fleeting Dunya transience awaits That Day when hearts will amorously swoon at the sight of our Noble Nabi SallAllahu alaihi wassalam. How much have we been an observer? How much have we accrued that earns a place in the Eternal Garden? What have we constructed that will take us to Him Subhanahu wa Ta’ala?

All good is from Allah Ta’ala whereas mistakes are from this humble speck. May Allah Ta’ala Bless all readers, bringing you all closer to Him and His Rasul SallAllahu alaihi wasallam. May He accept our humble efforts and grant us the capacity to be good and do good. Ameen.

Our Blessed Rasulullah SallAllahu alaihi wasallam said:

The value of this world in comparison to the Hereafter is as if you dip a finger in the ocean and then pull it out. So see how much water remains on it.

Whoever prefers this world harms his share of the Hereafter, and whoever prefers the Hereafter harms his share of this world. So prefer that which will last forever to that which will last forever to that which will come to an end.

When someone dies, the angels ask about what he sent ahead of him, and the children of Adam ask about what he left behind.

…to be continued, Insha’Allah.

masjid abu bakr and masjid umar

Leave a reply
 

Revisiting Masjid Abu Bakr and Masjid Umar in the Al-Musalla area to the south west of Masjid Nabawi.

Amr ibn al-As RadhiAllahu anhu said that he asked: “O Messenger of Allah SallAllahu alaihi wasallam who from the people is most beloved to you?” He said “Aishah.” I asked “O Messenger of Allah SallAllahu alaihi wasallam who amongst the men?” He said: “Her father.” I then asked: “Then who?” he said: “The Umar ibn al-Khattab.” Then he named some other men.

It was narrated that Abu Musa al-Ash’ari RadhiAllahu anhu said: “I was with the Prophet SallAllahu alaihi wasallam in one of the gardens of Madinah, when a man came and asked for the gate to be opened. The Prophet SallAllahu alaihi wasallam said: ‘Open the gate for him, and give him the glad tidings of Paradise.’ I opened the gate for him and it was Abu Bakr. I gave him the glad tidings of what the Messenger of Allah SallAllahu alaihi wasallam had said, and he praised Allah. Then another man came and asked for the gate to be opened. The Prophet SallAllahu alaihi wasallam said: ‘Open the gate for him, and give him the glad tidings of Paradise.’ I opened the gate for him and it was Umar. I told him what the Prophet SallAllahu alaihi wasallam said and he praised Allah. Then another man asked for the gate to be opened. The Prophet SallAllahu alaihi wasallam said: ‘Open the gate for him and give him the glad tidings of Paradise for a calamity will befall him.’ And it was Uthman. I told him what the Messenger of Allah SallAllahu alaihi wasallam said and he praised Allah, and then he said: ‘Allah is the One Whose help I seek.’”

As in life and so in death are Abu Bakr as-Saddiq and Umar ibn al-Khattab beside each other as are the two masjids named in honour of their presence at the places they have been constructed. Scholars say that during the respective Caliphates of Abu Bakr as-Saddiq and Umar ibn al-Khattab that they conducted Eid Salat where the current masjids stand. And Allah Ta’ala knows best.

Narrations say that our Beloved Rasul SallAllahu alaihi wasallam prayed many times in this vicinity, where several house of the Sahabah RadhiAllahu anhum were positioned. He SallAllahu alaihi wasallam prayed numerous Eids there, on other occasions for rain, upon the death of AnNajashi, the King of Abyssinia and it was here that he would make special supplication for the joy of once more entering Madinah after returning from the south.

 
 
 

Masjid Abu Bakr was first built during the time Umar ibn Abdul Aziz was governor of Madinah (87-93 AH) while the current Ottoman construction is ascribed to Sultan Mahmoud the Second in 1254 AH. It is quaint square black basalt stone building with a 12 m high dome and a 15 m minaret beginning with a bulbous base with a simply decorated pillar fanning out to a small balustrade, topped by a cylindrical section capped with a green metal cone. The proximity to Masjid Nabawi can be seen.

 
 
 

Both Masjids are permanently locked, opened for special dignatories, and both are currently undergoing much needed renovations. This layer of stucco has now been removed revealing the original stone and erasing the ugly remains of autographs. Intriguing how people must have visited being equiped with markers and the blatnat intention of defacing such places.

…whatever you are doing, We witness you when you are negaged in it. Not even the weight of a speck of dust in the earth or sky escapes your Lord, nor anything lesser or greater: it is written in a clear record.  (10:61)

 
 
 
 
 

Amr ibn Dinar heard Abu Bakr RadhiAllahu anhu say: “O people! I exhort you to beware of the day when you become poor and needy, to fear your Lord, to hail His Holy Name with priaes that befit His Majesty and Glory, and to pray for forgiveness, for He is most forgiving.”

~*~ 
 
 
 

Masjid Umar was built in 850AH by Shamsuddin Muhammad ibn Ahmad as-Salawi with Sultan Mahmoud in 1254 AH and his son Abdul Majeed in 1266 AH renovating it to how we see it today. Within the walled area is a small rectangular courtyard. The minaret is an austere cylindrical shape also capped with a green metal cone. 

 
 

Umar RadhiAllahu anhu said in one of his sermons: “You must know that greed means poverty, and despair means wealth. When a man gives up hope in having something, it means that he no longer needs it, and hence, abundance connotes absence of need.”

 

 
 
 
 On the Day when their tongues, their hands, and their legs or feet will bear witness against them as to what they used to do.   (24:24)
 
Insha’Allah, as renovations renew the status of these historic landmarks for the Ummah, respect will also be renewed and dignity restored.
 
 
 
Looking northward with Masjid Abu Bakr on the left, Ali in the middle and Ghamama, or Musalla on the right. An entry the other day included a photo of these three from the opposite side.
This western side at the time of our Blessed Prophet SallAllahu alaihi wasallam saw great activity as it was where the horses trained for Jihad and the hub of trading, the Manakha, or where the camels kneel. The following photo from the turn of the century shows the hustle and bustle of a busy market area, now transformed into an ambience reflecting hotel upon hotel.
 
 

All good is from Allah Ta’ala whereas mistakes are from this humble speck. May Allah Ta’ala Bless all readers, bringing you all closer to Him and His Rasul SallAllahu alaihi wasallam. May He accept our humble efforts and grant us the capacity to be good and do good. Ameen.
