﷽ Few Questions and Answers taken from the explanation •If someone leaves his home doing wudu for mosque and starts praying intending to pray the obligatory prayer of that time however without specifying in his intention whether it's dhur or Asr or Isha, will he be rewarded? - According to some belief, he won't be rewarded and he's told to repeat the prayer as he didn't specify it. However there's one narration of Imaam Ahmad which says it can be divisible that it's sufficient to intend performance of the obligatory prayer of that time and this is the correct opinion according to sheikh Uthaymin. So if someone begins praying in hurry without specifying the intention for Dhurh or Asr but just to perform the obligatory prayer of that time then he's not told to repeat the prayer according to the predominant view and this is the view which comforts the heart as many people even the Imaam may forget by mistake or distraction sometimes to specify it. • Is Jihaad b...

﷽ Benefits of this ḥadīth : ⚪It shows the importance and priority of pure intention . This ḥadīth is one of the 2 aḥādīth upon which the foundation of Islam lie s as said by the ʿUlamāʾ. It addresses the action of the heart- intention and the other ḥadīth which is the ḥadīth of ʿĀʾishah ( Whoever innovates something in this matter of ours (i.e. Islam) that is not part of it, will have it rejected ) is a reference for the actions of the limbs. It's very important as someone may have pure intention seeking الله but he innovates a lot- his innovated deeds will not benefit him at all even if his intention is pure . Another does the prayers perfectly however intending to show off and gain praise only, his deed will not be of benefit to him as it's ruined due to his wrong intention . ⚪Acts of worship should be distinguished from one another as well as worships and transactions should be distinguished from each other. ⚪Motivation to purify the intention for الله as Prophet ﷺ divided ...

﷽ Meaning of Nikāh and few of it's benefits  نكاح,  Linguistically it may take the meaning of the marriage contract itself or it may also mean the actual legal sexual intercourse. Legally it means a contract between a man and a woman where each of them intends to enjoy the other, establish a good family and safe society at last . So the objective of nikāh is not solely enjoyment but also establishing a good family and safe society. Marriage is not just a civic contract but in fact it's a religious transaction that has it's rulings in the Qur'ān and Sunnah. An-Nisa' 4:3  فَٱنكِحُوا۟ مَا طَابَ لَكُم مِّنَ ٱلنِّسَآءِ مَثْنَىٰ وَثُلَٰثَ وَرُبَٰعَۖ   then marry (other) women of your choice, two or three, or four; So marriage is legalized in Islām as it establishes specific natural needs between a man and woman in a regulated manner which secures the honour and provides a meaningful relationship that fulfills this purpose and transcends beyond it by establishment of a ...

﷽ The author started mentioning the name of الله saying (the Basmalaah)  بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم.   He said  'اعلم' (know) - it's an ettiquite of drawing attention so that the listener pays heed and be attentive concerning the knowledge that'll be presented to him . People can follow and utilize this ettiquite for addressing others to attract the attention of the one being addressed. Similar was done by Prophet ﷺ every now and then. This is to make the listener attentive to what will come next of the explanation. Then the author says 'رحمك الله' (May الله have Mercy on you) which really means that May الله Forgive you your previous sins and Guide you to what is good and correct in future and protect you from sins in future. This is when رحمة or mercy is used alone but when مغفرة or forgiveness is added to it, it means forgiveness from previous sins whereas رحمة refers to granting of what is good and protection from sins in future. These words show the care and...

﷽ Below are listed some of the benefits of knowing the reasons for revelations - • It's a clear proof that Qur'ān was truly a revelation from Allaah as whenever he ﷺ would be asked about something he would sometimes not answer immidiately and would wait for an inspiration to descend upon him. Such as when he was asked by a jewish man about rūḥ, he ﷺ remained silent and didn't reply. The narrator, ʽAbdullah ibn Masʽūd knew that he ﷺ was recieving revealation and then he ﷺ stood in the same place as the narrator was standing and recited ʾĀyah 85 of soorah Al-Isrāʾ [Ṣaḥīḥ al-Bukhārī 125 and Muslim 2794] And sometimes some incidents which occurred would be unknown or hidden and revealation would expose and clarify it. Such as ʾĀyah 8 of Soorah 63. Zayd Ibn Arqam heard  'Abdullāh ibn ‘Ubayy  make that comment where he referred himself as more honourable and Allaah's Messenger ﷺ and his companions as the meaner or humiliated. Zayd informed it to his uncle who informed it ...

﷽ It is to single Allāh the Most High affirming all the Magnificent Names and Attributes as He affirmed for Himself and through His Messenger ﷺ . This comprises of 2 matters-  • Affirmation - that we affirm to Allāh all the Names and Attributes which He affirmed for Himself and through His Messenger. • Negation that is negating resemblance by setting no likeness to Allāh the Most High in His Name and Attributes. Ash-Shura 42:11 فَاطِرُ ٱلسَّمَٰوَٰتِ وَٱلْأَرْضِۚ جَعَلَ لَكُم مِّنْ أَنفُسِكُمْ أَزْوَٰجًا وَمِنَ ٱلْأَنْعَٰمِ أَزْوَٰجًاۖ يَذْرَؤُكُمْ فِيهِۚ لَيْسَ كَمِثْلِهِۦ شَىْءٌۖ وَهُوَ ٱلسَّمِيعُ ٱلْبَصِيرُ  The Creator of the heavens and the earth. He has made for you mates from yourselves, and for the cattle (also) mates. By this means He creates you (in the wombs). There is nothing like Him; and He is the All-Hearer, the All-Seer. This  ʾĀyah  is a proof that nothing resembles Allāh in all of His Names and Attributes, none of the creations. Although they may ...
