Beware Of logical Conclusions!!

 

Ash-Sha'bee رحمه الله said:

"Beware of logical conclusions. By the One in Whose Hand my soul is, if you rely upon Qiyaas you will declare that which is impermissible permissible and that which is permissible impermissible. So whatever is conveyed to you by those who narrate upon the companions, HOLD ONTO IT!!

Keeping photographs for remembrance!!

Question: Is it permissible for Muslim to keep photographs for the purpose of remembrance. 

Answer: No, it is NOT permissible for a Muslim to keep photographs for the purpose of remembrance. This is with regards to photographs of living things (with souls) among the children of Adam and others. It is obligatory to destroy them due to what has been established from the Messenger of Allaah صلّى اللَّهُ عليه وسلّم that he said to 'Ali رضي اللّه عنـه:

"Do not leave a photo except that you efface and destroy it, and do not leave a raised grave that you flatten it."

It is also established from the Messenger of Allaah صلّى اللَّهُ عليه وسلّم that he prohibited photographs to be hung in the Kaa'bah, since he saw them hung on its walls. He صلّى اللَّهُ عليه وسلّم then requested water and a piece of cloth and wiped them off. As for the photos of non-living things, such as mountains, trees and the likes, there is no problem in keeping them.

At least complete the recitation of the Qur'aan every month… !

Explained by Sheikh Saleh al Fawzaan  حفظه الله

If a month passes by and the Qur’aan has not been completed, then this is neglect!! 

 

Allaah سبحانه و تعالى sent down this Qur’aan to be recited and implemented. He did not send it down for it to be placed in books and Mushafs and  for it to be preserved on shelves and cupboards. Rather, it is to be recited night and day. A Muslim recites it in every available situation and the Scholars have stated….

The Companions, (may Allaah be pleased with them), used to portion out the Qur’aan. They used to set a portion (to recite) during the night and during the night prayer. Some of them would complete reciting it in three nights, others in seven and ten nights.

Perfect Your Worship Of Allaah Wherever You Are...
