اللهُـمِّ مَنْ أَحْيَيْـتَهُ مِنّا فَأَحْيِـهِ عَلى الإِسْلام، وَمَنْ تَوَفَّـيْتَهُ مِنّا فَتَوَفَّـهُ عَلى الإِيـمان،

اللهُـمِّ لا تَحْـرِمْنـا أَجْـرَه ، وَلا تُضِـلَّنا بَعْـدَه.

O Allah, forgive our living and our dead, those who are present among us and those who are absent, young and old, males and females. O Allah, whoever you keep alive, keep them alive upon Islam, and whoever you cause to die, cause them to die upon Imaan. O Allah do not deprive us of his reward and do not misguide us after him. [Abu Dawud – Sahih]

اللَّهُمَّ اغْفِرْ لَهُ وَارْحَمْهُ وَعَافِهِ وَاعْفُ عَنْهُ، وَأَكْرِمْ نُزُلَهُ وَوَسِّعْ مُدْخَلَهُ، وَاغْسِلْهُ بِالْمَاءِ وَالثَّلْجِ وَالْبَرَدِ، وَنَقَّه مِنَ الذُّنُوبِ والـخَطَايَا كَمَا يُنَقَّى الثَّوْبُ الْأَبْيَضُ مِنَ الدَّنَسِ، وَأَبْدِلْهُ دَارًا خَيْـرًا مِنْ دَارِهِ وَأَهْلًا خَيْـرًا مِنْ أَهْلِهِ، وَأدْخِلْهُ الْـجنَّةَ وَأَعِذْهُ مِنْ عَذَابِ الْقَبْـرِ وَمِنْ عَذَابِ النَّارِ.

O Allah forgive him and have mercy on him, keep him safe and sound and pardon him, honor the place where he settles and make his entrance spacious; wash him with water, snow and hail, and cleanse him of sins as a white garment is cleansed of dirt. O Allah give him a house better than his house and a family better than his family. O Allah admit him to Paradise and protect him from the torment of the grave and the torment of the Hellfire. [Muslim]

وَافْسَـحْ لَهُ في قَبْـرِهِ وَنَـوِّرْ لَهُ فيه

Make his grave spacious and fill it with light. [Muslim]

Lesson 75 - Warning against shirk and all kinds of sins (Part 2/8)

Allah expiates the minor sins with good deeds if the major sins are avoided.

Some people avoid the permissible good things to preserve their health, but do not avoid major sins to preserve their bodies from the Hellfire!  

It is obligatory upon a Muslim to distance themselves from the causes which lead to the major sins.  

The major sins are called 'mubiqaat' (destructive) because they destroy a person in this world and in the Hereafter.

Lesson 44 - The conditions of salaah (prayer)- Part 1

The salaah is the greatest pillar of Islam after the shahadatayn. Whoever preserves their salaah has preserved their deen and whoever neglects it, has neglected their deen.

The shuroot(conditions) of salaah are mentioned before the arkaan (pillars) and wajibaat(obligations) because they must be present before the prayer in order for the prayer itself to be correct.

Definition of a condition: When it is non-existent it necessitates non-existence, but when it is existent, it does not necessitate existence. For example, the non-existence of wudunecessitates the non-exitance of the prayer, but the existence of wududoes not necessitate the existence of prayer (i.e. you don't always need to be praying if you have wudu, but without wudu you cannot pray).

Lesson 35 - The categories of shirk- Part 3

From the matters which should necessitate fear of falling into shirkis that the Prophet ﷺ considered shirk being more subtle than the footsteps of an ant.  

Also from the matters which should necessitate fear of falling into shirkis that the Prophet ﷺ feared showing off in worship (a form of minor shirk) more than he feared upon his Ummah the great fitnah of the Dajaal.

Taking photos and videos on a smartphone of acts of worship has greatly facilitated showing off in worship, and can be considered as a great fitnah.

The Prophet ﷺ taught his Ummah a du'aa to protect them from all forms of shirk:

اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَعُوذُ بِكَ أَنْ أُشْرِكَ بِكَ وَأَنَا أَعْلَمُ، وَأَسْتَغْفِرُكَ لِمَا لا أَعْلَمُ

Their punishment in the Hellfire will start in their graves. They will wish they could return to this world to worship Allah upon tawheed, or that they would die to be relieved from the severe punishment. They will only  receive an increase in punishment.

Lesson 33 - The categories of shirk - Part 1

Shirk can be divided into major shirk, minor shirk and hidden shirk.

Another categorisation is by its opposite category of tawheed. That is shirk in Ruboobiyah, shirk in Uloohiyya and shirk in Asmaa' was-Sifaat.

Major shirk is to make other than Allah equal to Allah in one or more of Allah's specific rights (e.g. worship). It removes a person from Islam, and their abode in the Hellfire will be eternal.

The fear of falling into shirk should be greater than any other fear we may have. It should drive us to take the means (asbaab) by which to avoid and be saved from it.

Lesson 31 - The categories of tawheed - Part 5

Tawheed al-Asmaa was-Sifaat.

It is to have firm belief in everything which has been established in the Quran and authentic Sunnah regarding Allah's Names and Attributes, in a manner befitting His Majesty.

Lesson 29 - The categories of tawheed - Part 3

Tawheed al-Uloohiyya.

To single out Allah with all forms of worship. There is no deity worthy of worship except Allah. It is the essence of the shahadah.

Evidence for this category of taheed from Surat al-An'aam, Surat al-Zukhruf and Surat al-Nahl.

The one who utters the shahadahbut contradicts it with their actions will not benefit anything from it.

The established daily adkhaar of a Muslim which contain the shahadahare a reminder and a renewal of the tawheedof Allah - they are not something which are merely uttered without meaning or effect.

An example from the adhkaarafter salaat.

Tawheed al-Ruboobiya.

To believe and establish that Allah is One in His Lordship. He alone is the creator, provider and controller of all affairs. He alone gives life and causes death. He has no partners in that.

A person who only establishes Tawheed al-Ruboobiya is not a muwahid unless they also establish what it necessitates, i.e. Tawheed al-Uloohiyah.

Evidence for this from Surat Yusuf and Surat al-Baqarah.

  1. Tawheed al-Ruboobiya (Lordship)
  2. Tawheed al-Uloohiyya (Worship)
  3. Tawheed al-Asmaa' wal-Sifaat (Names & Attributes)

  2. The Tawheed of Implementing (inclusive of Tawheed al-Uloohiyya).

All categories of tawheedare inseparable and necessitate one another.

Perhaps it could have also been worded better, as Ibn Katheer mentions in his tafseer:

"Thereafter, if Muslims were half as many as their enemy, they were not allowed to run away from them. If the Muslims were fewer than that, they were not obligated to fight the disbelievers and thus allowed to avoid hostilities."
