🔺Note 1: Sheikh ’Uthaymīn raḥimahullāh concluded that Laylatul Qadr does not always occur on the same odd night everytime, rather it varies between one of the odd nights from year to year. For example, during the Prophet's lifetime it occurred on the 21st night on one particular year; reported by Bukhāri & Muslim from the ḥadīth of Abū Sa’ēd, and on another year it occurred on one of the last 7 nights; reported by…

➢ 1. What is Laylatul Qadr? • Laylatul Qadr is the best night of the year. • Allāh described it as a blessed night. [Ad-Dukhān 3] • It is better than a thousand months. [Sūrah Al-Qadr 3] 🔺Note: Laylatul Qadr is BETTER than and not EQUAL to a thousand months. So it's incorrect to equate it to 83 years or any other specific figure. • It is the night in which Allāh revealed the Qur'ān. [Al-Qadr 1] 💡Benefit:…

Another group (of scholars) held that the individual performing i'tikāf is permitted to attend the Friday prayer, visit the sick and attend the funeral; this was reported from 'Ali bin Abī Tālib (may Allāh be pleased with him), and it is the opinion of Sa'īd bin Jubayr, al-Hasan al-Basri and an-Nakha'i. Al-Mundhiri said: it was narrated by al-Bukhari, Muslim, at-Tirmidhi, an-Nasa'i, and Ibn Majah." End quote. From…

Question: Is it permissible for the individual performing i'tikāf to leave the masjid to perform the Night Prayer at another masjid or place? Firstly, it must be known that the individual performing i'tikāf exiting for something that is not necessary invalidates the i'tikāf: 'Āisha (may Allah be pleased with her) narrated: "The Messenger of Allah ﷺ would not enter the house except for a need whilst performing…

Extracts: "If you are already a scholar, continue learning. If you are ignorant, start learning. If you are a student of knowledge, remain steadfast. We need knowledge more than we need food and drink. Not everyone has the ability to travel for studies, but should we tell those unable to travel to remain ignorant until they can? No!" "If you are a scholar, Alhamdulillah. If you are a student, Alhamdulillah. If you…

Strive Throughout the Last Ten Nights—Not Just the Odd Ones! Sheikh Al-Islam Ibn Taymiyyah (raḥimahullāh) was asked about the best time to seek Laylatul Qadr. He responded (paraphrasing): "Laylatul Qadr occurs within the last ten nights of Ramaḍhān, as is authentically reported from the Prophet ﷺ, who said: ((تَحَرَّوْا لَيْلَةَ الْقَدْرِ فِي الْعَشْرِ الأَوَاخِرِ مِنْ رَمَضَانَ)) "Seek Laylatul Qadr in the…

When does the last 10 begin? العشر الأواخر تبدأ من إحدى وعشرين. The last 10 starts from the 21st. [Ibn Baz raḥimahullāh - source] Evidence: Abu Sa'id Al-Khudri (may Allāh be pleased with him) reported: "The Prophet ﷺ used to observe i'tikaf during the middle ten days of Ramaḍhān. One year, he performed i'tikaf until the night of the twenty-first, which is the night after which he would normally conclude his…

The question should have been worded, "In Surah Al-Mulk (5-11),what do the inhabitants of Hell wish for?"

Question: Has the addition of "wa maghfiratuhu" (and His forgiveness) in the Salām authentically established? And should it be used when responding to Salām, in light of Allāh’s command: "And when you are greeted with a greeting, greet in return with one better than it, or (at least) return it (in like manner)" [Sūrah An-Nisā: 86]? Sheikh Rashād Adh-Dhali'ee ḥafidhahullāh responds: According to our knowledge,…
