Note: On Reciting The Surahs In Salat Al-Fajr Audibly

💐 In The Name Of Allah The Most Gracious The Most Merciful

📜 Question: If a person missed an audible prayer (a prayer in which the Surahs in the first two Rak'ahs are recited loudly such as the Fajr prayer) and wanted to pray it (after sunrise), then should they perform it silently or audibly?

📝 Answer: The Sunnah is to perform it audibly, in the daytime, if one is to pray the Fajr prayer after sunrise (due to oversleeping) then they recite the Surahs loudly. 

In some of his journeys, when the beloved Prophet Muhammad SallAllahu 'alaihi wa sallam overslept and missed the Fajr prayer at its right time, and what woke him up was the heat of the sun, he prayed the Fajr prayer after sunrise audibly, reciting the Surahs loudly (the way it is done when praying Fajr before sunrise).

Allah the Almighty knows best.

From the Fataawa of sheikh AbdulAziz Ibn Baz (May Allah have mercy on him. Ameen.)

~•~

📖 Abu Huraira RadhiAllahu 'anhu narrated: Allah's noble Messenger Muhammad SallAllahu 'alaihi wa sallam said, "If the people knew the virtues in the call to prayer and the first row of prayer and that they could not get it but by drawing lots, they would surely draw lots. If they knew the virtue in joining prayer at the beginning of its time, they would race to it. If they knew the virtue in prayer at evening and at dawn (Salat Al-Fajr), they would surely come even if they had to crawl."

Poem: With Or Without Many Friends, What Matters Is We Still Have Allah's Love

💐 In The Name Of Allah The Most Gracious The Most Merciful

💌 What's your concept of a "good friend"? What makes a "true friend"? 

One who likes talking to you and checks on you often? 

Who gives you free food and takes you out to restaurants, 

As if you can't cook or afford your own sustenance? 

Or who jokes and gossips with you for entertainment?

~•~

On behalf of introverts who don't have many friends,

And sage thinkers who are cautious with their selection 

Of close companions whom they can trust and confide in, 

I say it's possible to welcome independence 

And thrive without friends, when we befriend Allah our King.

~•~

While some can't survive without social interaction 

And a week without chatting brings them restless boredom, 

Some of us require solitude to relieve tension, 

And we relish solace in frequent Qur'an reading, 

Saying Du'a, Dhikr, researching and reflecting.

~•~

There are reasons why we detach from some connections 

And why we're disinterested in certain persons, 

When we saw their potential to enjoy gossiping, 

Detected their lies, confirmed envy and resentment, 

Toxic gestures and how they can't teach us anything.

~•~

We're not arrogant - just careful of our well-being. 

Aloneness is better than pointless socializing,

One's house is safer than parties full of gossiping, 

And restful moments spent with Allah the Most Loving 

Are more rewarding than "pretend play" with His servants.

~•~

📖 Abu Huraira RadhiAllahu 'anhu narrated: Allah's noble Messenger Muhammad SallAllahu 'alaihi wa sallam said, "Allah the Almighty said: 'Whoever shows hostility (enmity) to a righteous friend of Mine, I have declared war upon him. My servant does not grow closer to Me with anything more beloved to Me than the obligatory duties that I have imposed upon him. My servant continues to grow closer to Me with extra good works (nawaafil deeds like praying Tahajjud and fasting Sunnah fasts) until I love him. When I love him, I am his hearing with which he hears, his seeing with which he sees, his hand with which he strikes, and his foot with which he walks. Were he to ask something from Me, I would surely give it to him. Were he to ask Me for refuge, I would surely grant it to him. I do not hesitate to do anything as I hesitate to take the soul of the believer, for he hates death and I hate to disappoint him.'"

Poem: On "Gheerah" / "Ghayrah" Protective Jealousy

💐 In The Name Of Allah The Most Gracious The Most Merciful

💌 Three examples to clarify what a "dayyooth" is, 

A cuckold or coward, who lacks actual manliness, 

Devoid of protective jealousy,  not one bit strict, 

Who's fine if his womenfolk are flirts or immodest, 

Wanting their love or due to intentional neglect: 

~•~

One - When a guy takes some photos with his wife and kids, 

While his partner and daughters are not modestly dressed, 

Not wearing hijab while revealing parts of their legs, 

Then he shows the pics to his pals, and says, "Look at this, 

My wife's a hottie, and my children are just perfect!"

~•~

Two - When a guy insists that his wife meets his colleagues, 

Commands her to shake their hands and showcase her beauty. 

Three - When a guy lets his sisters act flirtatiously, 

Doesn't denounce their tight clothes or skirts up to their knees, 

And his excuse is, "They're young. YOLO! Let them be free.".

~•~

Such traits don't suit Muslim men who are truly manly. 

Real men strive to guide, shield, and safeguard their families, 

Without being abusive, negligent and extreme. 

From the many signs that a man loves you is when he 

Ensures you wear hijab and serve Allah correctly.

~•~

Thus don't surmise that some females must be so happy 

To have male relatives who aren't at all bossy, 

Who can't lead women or teach them to like modesty.

Brave men value Allah's Rights, take duty seriously, 

And know how to be leaders with justice and mercy.

~•~

📖 Abu Huraira RadhiAllahu 'anhu narrated: Sa'd Ibn 'Ubadah RadhiAllahu 'anhu said, “O Messenger of Allah, if I find another (non-mahram) man with my wife, should I leave him alone until I bring four witnesses (to testify if zina was committed)?” The Messenger of Allah SallAllahu 'alaihi wa sallam said, "Yes." Sa'd RadhiAllahu 'anhu said, “Never! By the One (Allah Subhaanahu wa Ta'aala) Who sent you with the truth, if that happened to me I would quickly grab the sword!” The Prophet SallAllahu 'alaihi wa sallam said, "Listen to what your leader is saying. Verily, he (Sa'd RadhiAllahu 'anhu) has a sense of honor (ghayrah/gheerah), and I have a greater sense of honor than him, and Allah has a greater sense of honor than me."

📖 Abdullah Ibn Umar RadhiAllahu 'anhu narrated: Allah's noble Messenger Muhammad SallAllahu 'alaihi wa sallam said, "Every one of you is a shepherd and is responsible for his flock. The leader of the people is a guardian and is responsible for his subjects. A man is the guardian of his family and he is responsible for them. A woman is the guardian of her husband's home and his children, and she is responsible for them. The servant of a man is a guardian of the property of his master and he is responsible for it. No doubt, every one of you is a shepherd and is responsible for his flock."

Poem: Tips On How To Manage Negative Feelings Of Jealousy

💐 In The Name Of Allah The Most Gracious The Most Merciful

💌 Five tips on how to give jealousy a punch or slap, 

Put aside or shove envy so your heart can relax, 

Instead of hating on the blessings that others have, 

A sign you mistrust Allah's Justice or you forgot 

The gifts that Allah gave you and the good times you've had: 

~•~

One - Enough with the eye rolls and weird gymnastic acts, 

When someone shares info, your ego goes, "Please, shut up," 

Or each time some share their joys, you recall your mishaps. 

Drop the grudge and don't duplicate shaytan's prideful act 

When he saw Adam ('alaihis salaam) and thought fire is better than dust.

~•~

Two - What people enjoy in dunya, what they show off, 

And admirable qualities or merits they've got, 

Are given as tests from Allah the Most Wise and Just, 

To see what they'll do with every gift, joy and product, 

If they're inspired to be kind or if the gifts distract.

~•~

Three - Someone's credentials, appearance, high-paying job, 

Social status, ability to travel abroad, 

Happy marriage, many kids or fans who back them up, 

Can't benefit if they cause one's faith/Imaan to drop. 

Dunya's pleasures are nothing if they mostly destruct.

~•~

Four - Stop comparing yourself to those with more or much, 

When it comes to worldly matters that can't really last. 

Remember those who have less or who lack what you have, 

Whose struggles are worse than yours yet they choose to stay tough, 

And learn contentment from the Sahabas and Salaf (RadhiAllahu 'anhum).

~•~

Five - With patience, accept what Allah gives, takes and does. 

Allowing yourself to envy what another has 

Is like unfairly thinking that Allah is "unjust", 

While Allah knows when to offer and when to hold back, 

And who from His slaves must be patient with others' stuff.

~•~

Defeat shaytan by choosing not to badly react, 

When other Muslims display traits or gains which you lack, 

Tell yourself, "Alhamdulillah for blessings I have, 

For being Muslim, and for all the good times I've had."

People around us are tests. With patience, we can pass.

~•~
