Assalamu - Alaikum Brother, I've been reading through the reply you sent me a few weeks back for which i am extremely grateful for :) I came across this hadith in your reply :

“Verily Allah forgives my Ummah for the evil thoughts that occur in their hearts until they don’t say it verbally or act upon it”. (Sahih al-Bukhari & Sahih Muslim).

I'm a bit confused now because the above hadith states that Allah (SWT) will forgive evil thoughts until they don't say it verbally or act upon it. Now, you are aware of the problem that i had a few weeks ago where i thought i had committed Shirk, by saying that statement i was wrong to say, the one where i didn't realised how terrible what i was saying had been until i said it, the one that sent me into that terrible state? The fact that i said that statement, does it mean Allah (SWT) won't forgive me for what happened, due to the fact that i verbally said it, even though i didn't act upon it or mean it ? Because the Hadith states that Allah (SWT) won't forgive if it is said verbally?
When this incident happened, and i was trying to go through my mind to see if i had said anything that may have been Shirk or not, because i wanted to make sure i hadn't said anything that could've been classed as Shirk, and i was panicking making sure that every word that came out of my mouth was not Shirk, and then i ended up saying this absurd statement.

I'm sorry if i'm bothering you brother, i just need some clarification.

Jazakallah Hair Brother, may Allah (SWT) be with you always.

Asalaamu Alaikum Wr Wb, my sister you can ask whatever you like and please never hesitate to do so. Firstly in order for Shirk to take place then you need to accept it with your heart and not just your tongue. Usually there is a connection between heart and tongue but in your case you just simply stated it without believing it in your heart.

Sameway when person says shahada without believing it with their heart then there Shahada is not accepted until they have affirmed what they are saying with their heart. So because of the fact that you have not accepted it in your heart but just simply said it then it is not shirk.

Even if a person done shirk by accepting it in their heart, if afterwards they denounce the shirk and feel remorseful and repent sincerely to Allah with the intention of never repeating such an act then Allah will forgive inshallah.

You should also realsie that your Qareen knows your weakness and is playing on this by trying to confuse you so whenever you get such thoughts then say: A'udhubillahi Minashaythanirajeem and also La hawla walaa Quwatha illah billah

Repel these whispers and spend your time in recitation of Qur'an and dhikrullah aswell as learning about Islam and involving yourself in doing good deeds.

May Allah help us to be strong against our nafs (desires) and the whispers of our enemy Satan. Ameen
 
Assalamu Alaikum Wr Wb,

Thank you Brother for replying to my question, what you have told me is very clear and i understand what you are trying to tell me and thank you for putting my mind at rest. May Allah (SWT) reward you for your good deeds. Brother, may i just ask you something? I have noticed you have a lot of knowledge about Islam, have you been to an Islamic school or anything like that? I would like to know how you have so much knowledge about Islam :D

Jazakallah Hair,
May Allah (SWT) be with you always.

Asalaamu Alaikum Wr Wb, My sister i am merely a lay person who wants to strive to learn as much as possible about deen. I do read up about Islam aswell as attend talks and am currently undertaking a Islamic course to better my knowledge of deen. Anyone can do it sister and i urge you to try and learn as much as you can about Islam until your last breath.

Knowledge is very important but knowledge is nothing without implementing it into your life and acting upon it aswell as passing it onto others. Make dua for Allah to give you knowledge and wisdom so that you can implement it and benefit others with it and also please remember me in your dua's to. Don't ever hesitate to ask whatever you want and inshallah will try my best to help.
 
Assalamu Alaikum Wr Wb,

Mashallah Brother, that's really good :) Ever since this problem of mine has happened, the one which you have helped me with, i've been so much more conscious about Islam, and i've been reading up on Islam, learning a lot more, i've just been reading about the Day Of Judgement and Dajjal, and my aim is now to memorise Surah Kahf, and teach it to my 9 year old sister, because i read that this will help. So yeah, i've become a different person and a better one and all praise be to Allah (SWT).
I do have a problem though, i know that music is haram in Islam, me and my 9 year old sister have given up listening to music and instead we listen to nasheeds. My cousins however, are very much into today's music, they listen to Lady GaGa etc and thing is i want to tell them that look this is wrong and i want to tell them that nasheeds are better to listen to, however they will never listen to anything i say; i suggested one of my cousins should wear a headscarf and she literally ignored what i said and had a rage at me; but i want to tell them what they are doing is wrong but if they don't listen to me what should i do ?

Jazakallah Hair
May Allah (SWT) be with you always.
 
Also Brother, i forgot to add, that just now my little sister asked me whether Allah (SWT) is human and i replied to her saying No. But then i typed is Allah (SWT) human into google, to see if anyone on Yahoo would have discussed this matter. I knew what i was doing but i did it anyway and now i feel terrible for what i did. Is this Shirk, Brother and also if i repent would Allah (SWT) forgive me?

Jazakallah Hair Brother
May Allah (SWT) be with you always.
 
Hello Zobia

You seem so keen to please Allah!
May I ask you how old you are?
 
Assalamu - Alaikum Wr Wb,

I am 17 years old :] Why do you ask?

Jazakallah Hair
May Allah (SWT) be with you always.

Asalaamu Alaikum Wr Wb, your cousins are unfortunatley like many of our Muslim brothers and sisters and it is very unfortunate that they waste thir time listening to this evil. Shaythan was the first to sing and music is a way in which shaythan may get clsoer to a person because through music shaythan may circulate our blood stream same way that red blood cells do.

Also those who loved music will be more likely to be the followers of dajaal who will play the flute so beautifully and those who loved music will follow him like a swarm of bees. So we must all keep away from Music and try to get our brothers and sisters to do the same.

You must be gentle with them and invite them towards Allah in the most beautiful of manners. You must also realise that all you can do is inform and that Allah is the ONLY one who can guide them. So just do the best you can and don't always be in their back about it but now and again otherwise whatever you say will fall on deaf ears. Once a week send them Islamic reminders by e mail or text.

Also remind them often about death and the hereafter as death is the destroyer of pleasures and make them realise that juts because they are young it does not mean that they will not die at any moment and that they must fear Allah and fulfil their obligations towards him and that they must leave the evil they indulge in and leave the music which is the biggest weapon of shaythan to lure people towards him.

Get them to listen to these beneficial lectures inshallah:

Asslamu Alaikum Wr Wb,

Brother i really really need you help !!! :( :( :(

Well, i was reading my Isha namaz and i got as far as reading 3 Witr and i began to get waswasah [shaytan whispers] telling me that i'd missed something out, so i was doubting myself as to whether or not i missed something out or not, then i restarted my salat a couple of times and every time shaytan kept messing with me.
At the same time, my little sister was in the same room as me and she snores quite loud and that really distracted me, i couldn't keep my focus. So i thought i'd read my namaz in a different room, but there wasn't enough space and i thought if i touched the shoes that were in the way and moved them, my wudu might break. So i got really upset and the time was 11:37pm and i know that Isha has to be done before midnight. And i thought if i start reading Isha now, i won't get it done in time before midnight, so i didn't read it and i now i feel extremely terrible that i might have committed Shirk, and i really want to know is there any way i can make up for this namaz ? If i sincerely repent will Allah (SWT) forgive me, i really don't want to be in Hell Fire for eternity, i wish Shaytan hadn't messed with me and i wish i hadn't said to myself that 'oh i'll never get Isha done in this amount of time', i feel horrible, scared and sick, i don't know what to do. I'm going to get up to do Fajr for definite, i just want to know if i can make up for Isha that i missed ?? This happened the day before, a similar thing, and i don't know what to do anymore !
Please help me :( :(

Jazakallah Hair
May Allah (SWT) be with you always.
 
Wa'alaikum as'salaam,

When shaytan comes to you, you should spit (dryly) on the left side three times, you can recite audibillah and surah nas to seek refuge with Allah. As for doubting yourself in salaah, you should not listen to the shaytan and go with what you feel strong towards. If you feel more on side that you didn't make a mistake than go with that inshallah and leave it that, and if you feel you may have made a mistake than just do tasleem (saying salaam) on right side only and do 2 rakah sajoods to make up for your mistake. Since your sister snores, you should try to do isha earlier, so you don't have to rush through it. If the 3 witr were the only thing that was left than inshallah you did your isha, the witr are called night prayers and they can be done after midnight also, especially if your doing thajjud or something. You did not commit any shirk, shirk is associating partners with Allah, which you did not do here.


As for praying isha or any other salah, you must what are the essentials required so you can just do those alone when you are short on time.

For example, for Isha if you had prayed 4 rakah fard and 1 witr, that would have been enough. More is always better, but its also good to know whats the bare minimum you can pray and still have it accepted in case you are short on time.

Asalaamu Alaikum Wr Wb, firstly sister you should act upon the dua's and actions i have posted to you previously everyday and this should lessen the impact of the whispers of shaythan.

Secondly sister Isha is only Mukruh after half of the night has passed but it is not haraam to pray it after half of the night is over. You should have still prayed it even if you did pray it after half the night is over. You calculate half of the night from sunset until Subh Sadiq which is the beginning of Fajr.

If you do happened to pray Easha after half of the night is over then it will still be accepted even though it is undesirable to pray after half of the night is over. Make it a routine to pray Isha earlier rather than later as the lat it gets the more lazier one may get anbd therefore one may end up delaying it and even missing it.

Shaythan knows your weakness and so is playing on your weakness. You should do those dua's and actions posted previously constantly to protect yourself from the bad effects of the whispers of shaythan.

My sister Allah understands that you had not intention of missing those prayers and he knows that you got confused. Repent to him sincerely and do Qadha and inshallah Allah willl accept it from you. Do not despair from the mercy of Allah as he knows you better than you know yourself and he knows you had no intentions of missing the prayer but that you got confused and lost your way.

Thank Allah and seek refuge in him from the whispers of shaythan. Remember anf glorify Allah as much as you can and the effects of shaythan will be repelled. Read Salah early and when you start praying imagine Allah in front of you wathcing you pray and watching your every move as you pray because he does watch our every move in prayer.

and Allah knows best in every matter
 
Thank you Brother :] I remember Allah (SWT) as much as i can throughout the day and i'm finding that Shaytan's bothering me less and less now, and throughout my prayers Shaytan will bother me, but i try and keep my focus on my prayer and the fact that Allah (SWT) is watching me and it's working, i'm less bothered by him now. When i read my Qu'ran i find that Shaytan is bothering me far far less because i have more faith in Allah (SWT) . Thank you for the links, Brother, they are interesting. :] Thing is though, i didn't do Qada namaz for Isha :( So i want to know, that even though this happened last night and well its almost a new day now, could i do Qada namaz for Isha still ? If so, how do i do Qada namaz for Isha ? I can do Qada namaz for Zuhr & Fajr but what would it be for Fajr ?
I repented to Allah (SWT) about this and i will continue to repent. I'm becoming stronger in my faith now, and i'm really happy with this, because i know what i have to do as a Muslim and i will continue to do my duties. When i was younger, i wasn't regular with my Salah and that's changed now because my Salah is regular now :D
Indeed, Allah (SWT) does know best in every matter.

Jazakallah Hair Brother,
May Allah (SWT) be with you always.
 
I can do Qada namaz for Zuhr & Fajr but what would it be for Fajr ?

I meant Isha, i put Fajr twice by accident .

Asalaamu Alaikum Wr Wb, im very happy your remembering Allah as much as you can throughout the day and night and that you are glorifying him and reciting the Qur'an to. Continue with this and shaythan's whispers will be powerless.

You should always do Qadha as soon as you can. For Isha qadha you pray four Fard and 3 witr. Please remember me in your dua's sister.

May Allah bless you and your family and make you of his most devoted slaves. Ameen
 
ASALAMU alaykum

Its just that when i revise, its namaz time and then i can't get enough revision done as well as get all 5 of my namaz done. I managed to read 3 prayers today out of 5, which i feel terrible for; i told my mum about this and she said to me, that Allah (SWT) knows what i am going through, that He knows the immense pressure i'm under, and that if i can't read 5 prayers a day, then i should read as many prayers as i can and read Qu'ran in the meantime and do du'as, is she right? Because i dont know what to do, i'm not getting enough study done, i'm trying to do all my prayers as well and i'm finding it so so difficult, please help ?! :'(

:sl: sister.

Regarding your question you could make another thread in future so that you get more responses.

Firstly you should never miss your salat. Even if your are busy. Make time for your salat. How long does it take to pray each salat?

Fazr - no more then 5-8 minutes
Zohar - no more then 10-15 minutes
Asar - no more then 5-8 minutes
Maghrib - no more then 8-10 minutes
Isha - no more 12-18 minutes

Praying our salat doesn't even take an hour my sister. InshaALLAH make time for it. We are all sinful & weak but make dua that ALLAH(SWT) makes it easy for all of us. We have 24 hours in a day. ALLAH(SWT) asks for just 1 hour. I've finished my exams but Alhumdulillah I made time for Salat. When it was time for prayer I went to pray whether it was my local Masjid or a Masjid near my uni or the prayer room at uni. You might be more busier then me but try to find time InshaALLAH. Indeed ALLAH(SWT) knows that you are trying. May ALLAH(SWT) reward you for that. But take that one step forward and pray 5 times a day.

My sister most of us have problems waking up for Fazr. Fazr prayer can be the most challenging one. Regarding this, there are many hadiths that speak to the great reward and blessing entailed in waking up for Fazr prayer.

Abu Zuhayr 'Umara ibn Ruwayba said, "I heard the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, say, 'No one who used to pray before the rising of the sun and before its setting will enter the Fire," meaning Fajr and 'Asr." [Muslim]

Jundub ibn Sufyan reported that the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, said, "Anyone who prays the Subh prayer is in Allah's keeping. O son of Adam, watch out that Allah does not demand from you anything that is in His keeping." [Muslim]

NEVER miss a prayer deliberately. It is something that us Muslims don't realise; the enormity of it. An action that is both punishable by a legal penalty in this world, and divine punishment in the Hereafter.

ALLAH(SWT) says "Then, there has succeeded them a posterity who have given up As-Salât (the prayers) [i.e. made their Salât (prayers) to be lost, either by not offering them or by not offering them perfectly or by not offering them in their proper fixed times, etc.] and have followed lusts. So they will be thrown in Hell. Except those who repent and believe (in the Oneness of ALLAJ and His Messenger Muhammad SAW), and work righteousness. Such will enter Paradise and they will not be wronged in aught." (Sura Maryam, ayat 59-60) note: Here we see what is the place for those who have abandoned the prayer but ALLAH(swt) is the most mercyful and gives us chances to repent and be saved.

ALLAH(SWT) says in Sura Al-Mâ'ûn "So woe unto those performers of Salat (prayers) (hypocrites),Who delay their Salat (prayer) from their stated fixed times,Those who do good deeds only to be seen (of men)," (Sura Al-Mâ'ûn, ayat 4 - 6) note: This ayah shows us that we have to pray our Salat on its fixed timings and not dalay them without a valid reason (i.e. traveling, jihad etc..) and how much we need to have sincerity in your prayer and do it only for ALLAH(SWT).

ALLAH(SWT) further warns us in the Quran "O you who believe! Let not your properties or your children divert you from the remembrance of ALLAH. And whosoever does that, then they are the losers." (Sura Al-Munaafiqoon, ayah #9). The commentators of the Qur'an say: "The 'remembrance of ALLAH' mentioned in these Aayaat means the five daily prayers. If anyone is so busy in buying and selling, or with his daily work of earning a livelihood, or with his children, that he cannot perform prayers on time, he will be among the losers."

Informing us about the inhabitants of Hell, ALLAH(SWT) says "(The people in Hell will be asked: What has caused you to enter Hell? They will say: "We were not of those who used to offer their Salah (prayers). Nor did we feed the poor. And we used to talk falsehood (all that which ALLAH hated) with vain-talkers. And we used to belie thc Day of Recompense. Until there came to us that which is certain (i.e., death). So no Intercession of intercessors will benefit them. (Sura Al-Muddaththir, ayah 42-48)

Rasulullah (SAW) said "The covenant between us and them is prayer, so if anyone abandons it he has become a disbeliever." (Agreed upon by Ahmad, Tirmidhee and Nasaa'ee to be authentic)

In another Hadith of Rasulullah (SAW) said "What lies between a man and disbelief is the abandonment of prayer." ( Agreed upon by Muslim, Abu Dawood and Nasaa'ee as sahih authentic)

Salat is a pillar of our faith, and there is no such thing as doing too much to ensure that this pillar stands. The following are references of the Importance of Salat.

Narrated Abu Hurairah (RA) Rasulullah (SAW) said: Five prayers and from one Friday prayer to (the next) Friday prayer is an expiation (of the sins committed in between their intervals) if major sins are not committed. (Sahih Muslim Book 2, Number 0448)

Narrated Abu Hurairah: I heard Allah's Apostle saying, "If there was a river at the door of anyone of you and he took a bath in it five times a day would you notice any dirt on him?" They said, "Not a trace of dirt would be left." The Prophet added, "That is the example of the five prayers with which Allah blots out (annuls) evil deeds." (Sahih Al Bukhari Volume 1, Book 10, Hadith # 506)

Narrated Uthman ibn Affan (RAA) Rasulullah (SAW) at the time of our returning from our prayer told us (certain things pertaining to purification). He said: I do not know whether I should tell you a thing or keep quiet. We said: Rasulullah, tell us if it is good and if it is otherwise, Allah and Messenger (SAW) know better. Upon this he said: A Muslim who purifies (himself) and completes purification as enjoined upon him by Allah and then offers the prayers, that will be expiatious (of his sins he committed) between these (prayers). (Sahih Muslim Book 2, Hadith # 0444)

Narrated Jabir ibn Abdullah (RAA) Rasulullah (SAW) said: The similitude of five prayers is like an overflowing river passing by the gate of one of you in which he washes five times daily. Hasan said: No filthiness can remain on him. (Sahih Muslim Book 4, Hadith # 1411)

Narrated Abu Hurairah (RAA) Rasualullah (SAW) said, "Martyrs are those who die because of drowning, plague, an abdominal disease, or of being buried alive by a falling building." And then he added, "If the people knew the Reward for the Zuhr prayer in its early time, they would race for it. If they knew the reward for the 'Isha' and the Fajr prayers in congregation, they would join them even if they had to crawl. If they knew the reward for the first row, they would draw lots for it." (Sahih Al-Bukhari Volume 1, Book 11, Hadith # 688)

Narrated Abu Hurairah (RAA) : Rasulullah (SAW) said, "Allah will prepare for him who goes to the mosque in the morning and in the afternoon (for the congregational prayer) an honorable place in Paradise with good hospitality for (what he has done) every morning and afternoon goings. (Sahih Al-Bukhari Volume 1, Book 11, Hadith # 631)

Narrated Abu Hurairah (RAA) Rasualullah (SAW) said, "No prayer is harder for the hypocrites than the Fajr and the 'Isha' prayers and if they knew the reward for these prayers at their respective times, they would certainly present themselves (in the mosques) even if they had to crawl." The Prophet added, "Certainly I wish to order the Mu'adh-dhin (call-maker) to pronounce Iqama and order a man to lead the prayer and then take a fire flame to burn all those who had not left their houses so far for the prayer along with their houses." (Sahih Al-Bukhari Volume 1, Book 11, Hadith # 626) Note: We should see the importance of Fajr and Isha salah in the Masjid.

Narrated Abu Huraira: "Rasulullah (SAW) said, "The angels keep on asking Allah's forgiveness for anyone of you, as long as he is at his Mu,salla (praying place) and he does not pass wind (Hadath). They say, 'O Allah! Forgive him, O Allah! be Merciful to him." (Sahih Al-Bukhari, Volume 1, Book 8, Hadith #436)

Rasulullah (SAW) said, "The first matter that the slave will be brought to account for on the Day of Judgment is the prayer. If it is sound, then the rest of his deeds will be sound. And if it is bad, then the rest of his deeds will be bad." [Recorded by al-Tabarani. According to al-Albani, it is sahih. Al-Albani, Sahih al-Jami, vol.1, p. 503.] Note: for those who say 'I don't pray but my heart is clean should take this warning from Rasulullah (SAW) and establish the prayer before they are brought to account infront of ALLAH(SWT)!

Rasulullah(SAW) said "ALLAH has obligated five prayers. Whoever excellently performs their ablutions, prays them in their proper times, completes their bows, prostrations and khushu` [Khushu` in the prayer is where the person’s heart is attuned to the prayer.] has a promise from Allah that He will forgive him. And whoever does not do that has no promise from Allah. He may either forgive him or punish him." [Recorded by Malik, Ahmad, Abu Dawud, al-Nasa’I and others. According to al-Albani, it is sahih. Al-Albani, Sahih al-Jami, vol. 1, p. 616.] Note: SubhanAllah ALLAH(SWT) is giving us a PROMISE that he will forgive us! What more can we ask for? How can I pray when I have so many sins, they should realize this prayer is a way for them to get their sins forgiven.

My sister make a timetable & balance your study around Salat. May ALLAH(SWT) make it easy for you. Ameen.

Last, but not least, you should figure out how many paryers you've missed and make a timetable for making them up. It is obligatory to make up missed prayers, because they remain a debt owed to ALLAH Most High.

Masha Allah,
Sister Zobia devotion to his religion in this age is ideal.
May Allah accept his sincerity and keep and affirm her on it.
one thing i can suggest, it is good we should be more careful about our religion but it is not permissible to give away all other aspect of life or become so sensitive which can be harmful for our physical & mental health. we are just responsible for doing our deeds with good intention then we should have hope that Allah will accept them. Access of any thing is harmful therefore our scholars taught to make balance in all things.
There are Prophet s.a.w several hadith on this Like ,

Hadith - Sahih Bukhari Volume 7, Book 62, No. 1, Narrated Anas bin Malik

A group of three men came to the houses of the wives of the Prophet asking how the Prophet worshipped (Allah), and when they were informed about that, they considered their worship insufficient and said, "Where are we from the Prophet as his past and future sins have been forgiven." Then one of them said, "I will offer the prayer throughout the night forever." The other said, "I will fast throughout the year and will not break my fast." The third said, "I will keep away from the women and will not marry forever." Allah's Apostle came to them and said, "Are you the same people who said so-and-so? By Allah, I am more submissive to Allah and more afraid of Him than you; yet I fast and break my fast, I do sleep and I also marry women. So he who does not follow my tradition in religion, is not from me (not one of my followers)."
