ramadan's news letter day 2

[manhag]

In the name of Allah, the Compassionate, the Merciful

Bismi Allahi alrrahmani alrraheemi

Islamic culture requires a man to commence everything with the name of Allah. If this is done consciously and sincerely, it will surely produce three good results. First, it will keep him away from evil, because the very name of Allah will impel him to consider whether he is justified in associating His name with a wrong deed or an evil intention.

Secondly, the very mention of the name of Allah will create in him the right attitude of mind and direct him to the right direction.

Thirdly, he will receive Allah's help and blessing and will be protected from the temptations of Satan, for Allah turns to a man when he turns to Him




Verse of the Day

When the Messenger of Allah would see the crescent he used to say: 'Allãhu 'akbaru, 'allãhumma 'ahillahu `alaynã bil-'amni wal 'eemãni, was-salãmati wal-'islãmi, wat-tawfeeqi limã tuhibbu watardhã, rabbuna wa rabbuka 'allãhu (201)



Allah is greater [than everything], O my ilãh bring this month upon us in security and in faith, in peace and Islam [submission], and in making us successful to do what You love and approve of. Our Lord and your Lord is Allah. * Shaikh Al-Albãni Cautions: Many people face the crescent when supplicating, as they also face graves, and all of this is not allowed as it is affirmed in the legislation of our religion: "Nothing is faced during supplication other than that which is faced during prayer."




Invocation

Ruling on using nasal sprays when fasting

What is the ruling on using nasal sprays when fasting?

Praise be to Allaah.

There is nothing wrong with that in cases of necessity, but if it is possible to delay it until night time then that is more on the safe side. End quote.

Shaykh ‘Abd al-‘Azeez ibn Baaz (may Allah have mercy on him).

Majmoo' Fataawa al-Shaykh Ibn Baaz (15/264).

In a statement by the Islamic Fiqh Council it says:

The following things are not regarded as breaking the fast: ... eye drops, ear drops, having the ears syringed, nose drops, nasal sprays - if one avoids swallowing anything that reaches the throat. End quote.

Majallat al-Majma' (10/2/454)

And Allah knows best.




Q & A

Dhil noun Al masri -God bless his soul- said:

"Corruption walked into us through six ways:

First, our weak intentions of doing good deeds for the after life

Second, our bodies became ready for use by our desires

Third, hoping too much while forgetting that life is not long enough

Fourth, preferring to please the created beings instead of the Creator

Fifth, following our desires and willfully straying from the Prophet's (PBUH) way or Sunnah

Sixth, using the mistakes of the older good generations (Salaf) as excuses for our own shortcomings, and ignoring their good deeds" ( Al-Itisam liShabati)
