*3️⃣Landscape Jannah.*
*💬Say: سُبْحَانَ الله وَالْحَمْدُ لله وَلاَ إله إِلاَّ الله وَالله أَكْبَرُ*

It is a plain levelled land. The plants grow there by uttering: Subhan-Allah, Al-hamdu lillah, La ilaha illallah, and Allahu Akbar.” [السلسلة الصحيحة : 105]
*Or say: سُبْحَانَ اللَّهِ الْعَظِيمِ وَبِحَمْدِهِ*

[Sunan Abi Dawud 1517]
*5️⃣Earn a thousand good deeds.*
*💯Say: SubhanAllah (100 times)*

[صحیح البخاری: 5051]
Ibn Hajar said, أَيْ أَجْزَأَتَا عَنْهُ مِنْ قِيَامِ اللَّيْلِ بِالْقُرْآنِ “Meaning, they will suffice him for qiyamul layl” [Fathul Bari]
*9️⃣Earn the reward of giving charity.*
*💰Say: SubhanAllah, Alhamdulillah, Laa ilaha illAllah, Allahu Akbar.*
The Prophet (s) said, “In the morning, charity is due from every bone in the body of every one of you. Every utterance of glorification (i.e., saying SubhanAllah) is an act of charity. Every utterance of praise (i.e., saying Alhamdulillah) is an act of charity, every utterance of profession of His Oneness (i.e., saying Laa ilaha illAllah) is an act of charity, every utterance of profession of His Greatness (i.e., saying Allahu Akbar) is an act of charity, enjoining good is an act of charity, forbidding what is disreputable is an act of charity, and two rak'ahs which one prays in the forenoon will suffice.”
[صحیح مسلم:720]
*1️⃣0️⃣Earn a mountain of reward.*
*📤Give a date.*
The Prophet (s) said, “If anyone gives as Sadaqa the equivalent of a date from honestly (earning) earned - because Allah accepts only what is pure - the Lord would accept it with His Right Hand, and even if it is a date, it would grow in the Hand of the lord, as one of you fosters his colt, till it becomes bigger than a mountain.”
[صحیح مسلم: 1014]

Hadith and Islamic ruling on Plague: Don't leave village, city and country where there is epidemic of plague and don't enter village, city or country where there is epidemic of plague
Hadith on Plague
حَدَّثَنِي مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ حَاتِمٍ، حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ بَكْرٍ، أَخْبَرَنَا ابْنُ جُرَيْجٍ، أَخْبَرَنِي عَمْرُو، بْنُ دِينَارٍ أَنَّ عَامِرَ بْنَ سَعْدٍ، أَخْبَرَهُ أَنَّ رَجُلاً سَأَلَ سَعْدَ بْنَ أَبِي وَقَّاصٍ عَنِ الطَّاعُونِ، فَقَالَ أُسَامَةُ بْنُ زَيْدٍ أَنَا أُخْبِرُكَ عَنْهُ، قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم
هُوَ عَذَابٌ أَوْ رِجْزٌ أَرْسَلَهُ اللَّهُ عَلَى طَائِفَةٍ مِنْ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ أَوْ نَاسٍ كَانُوا قَبْلَكُمْ فَإِذَا سَمِعْتُمْ بِهِ بِأَرْضٍ فَلاَ تَدْخُلُوهَا عَلَيْهِ وَإِذَا دَخَلَهَا عَلَيْكُمْ فَلاَ تَخْرُجُوا مِنْهَا فِرَارًا "
Amir b. Sa'd reported that a person asked Sa'd b. Abu Waqqas about the plague, whereupon Usama b. Zaid said:
I would inform you about it. The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: It is a calamity or a disease which Allah sent to a group of Bani Isra'il, or to the people who were before you; so when you hear of it in land, don't enter it and when it has broken out in your land, don't run away from it.

The Month Of Ramadan Has Arrived
From Abu Hurairah [رضي الله عنه] who said: The Messenger of Allaah [ﷺ] used to give good news to his Companions with the arrival of Ramadan, he would say:
«قد جاءكم شهر رمضان شهرٌ مبارك ، كتب الله عليكم صيامه ، فيه تفتح أبواب الجنة وتغلق فيه أبواب الجحيم ، وتغل فيه الشياطين ، فيه ليلةٌ خيرٌ من ألف شهر ، من حُرِمَ خيرها فقد حُرِم.»
❝Indeed the month of Ramadan has arrived, a blessed month. Allaah has prescribed fasting for you. In this month the doors of Paradise are opened and the doors of hell are closed. The devils are shackled. In Ramadan there is a night better than a thousand months, whoever is prohibited from the good in that night then indeed he has been prohibited from good.❞
[Collected By Al-Mundhari In Targheeb Wa Tarheeb | Authenticated By Albaani, (1/490) | Translated By Abbas Abu Yahya Miraath Al-Anbiyya]
-
Ibn Rajab Al-Hanbali said:
❝Some of the scholars said: This Hadeeth is a foundation for some people congratulating others with the month of Ramadan.
How can one not give good news to the believer with the doors of Paradise opening.
How can one not give good news to the sinful that the doors of the Hell fire have been closed.
How can one not give good news to the intelligent one with that the devils are shackled.
Where can this time period be compared to any other time.❞
[Lata’if Al-Ma’arif, (1/158) | Translated By Abbas Abu Yahya Miraath Al-Anbiyya]
Authentic prayer and Dua after breaking the fast (sawm)
قال عبد الله ابن عمر رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهُمَا: كان إذا أفطرَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ:
ذَهَبَ الظَّمَأُ وَابْتَلَّتِ الْعُرُوقُ وَثَبَتَ الأَجْرُ إِنْ شَاءَ اللَّهُ
صحيح الجامع ٤٦٧٨ | الشيخ الألباني رحمه الله | حسن
‘Abd-Allāh ibn ‘Umar رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهُمَا narrated:
“The Messenger of Allāh صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ used to say upon opening the fast:
*‘The thirst has gone, the veins are moistened and the reward is certain if Allāh wills.’”*

Lord Almighty accepts prayers of oppressed person, even if he is disbeliever
🌟 When Allaah responds to our supplications, then it is an honor from Him:
Whenever Allaah تعالى answers your prayers, then know that this is a favor from Allaah. And there is in it, help from Allaah, to keep you firm upon His obedience, and this is indeed a great honor.
Sometimes, a Du`aa is answered because of a reason involved, which acts as a catalyst, and which accelerates the response.
And sometimes, the Du`aa is delayed because of the involvement of sins and acts of disobedience.
But remember, Allaah answers the call of everyone, even if the one who is supplicating is a Kaafir.
Narrated Ibn `Abbaas رضي الله عنهما: The Prophet ﷺ sent Mu`aadh to Yemen and said: ❝Be afraid, from the curse of the oppressed as there is no screen between his invocation and Allaah.❞
📚 [Saheeh al-Bukhaaree (1496, 2448, 4347) and Saheeh Muslim (19)]
Narrated Anas رضي الله عنه: The Prophet ﷺ said: ❝Be afraid, from the curse of the oppressed – even if he is a Kaafir - as there is no screen between his invocation (and Allaah).❞
📚 [Musnad Ahmad (12549) and graded as “Hasan li ghairihee” (Hasan due to corroborating chain) by Shaikh al-Albaanee in al-Saheehah (767), Saheeh al-Jaami` (119), Saheeh al-Targheeb (2231)]
And before this, verily Allaah تعالى had answered the call of Iblees, while he is the most evil of creations. Iblees said (as mentioned in the Qur’aan): {“O my Lord! Give me then respite till the Day they (the dead) will be resurrected.” (Allaah تعالى) said: “So indeed, you are of those reprieved, till the Day of the time appointed”}
📚 [Surah al-Hijr (15): 36-38]
So, if a Muslim were to oppress a person, even if he were a Kaafir, and he supplicates, Allaah will answer the supplication of the oppressed person, even though he was a Kaafir. So, what about the supplication of an oppressed Muslim?!
Abu Hurairah narrated that the Messenger of Allaah ﷺ said: ❝There are three whose supplication is not rejected: The fasting person when he breaks his fast, the just ruler, and the supplication of the oppressed person for Allaah raises it (his supplication) up above the clouds and opens the gates of heaven to it. And the Lord says: {By My might, I shall surely aid you, even if it should be after a while.}❞
📚 [Sunan al-Tirmidhee (2526) and graded as “Hasan” by Shaikh al-Albaanee. Also Sunan al-Tirmidhee (3598) and Sunan Ibn Maajah (1752) and graded as “Hasan” by Zubai `Alee Zai. Musnad Ahmad (8043, 9743) and graded as “Saheeh” by Shu`aib al-Arnaaoot]
Allaah تعالى would answer the supplications of the Mushrikeen (polytheist and pagans) when they were in distress or trouble.
وَإِذَا غَشِيَهُم مَّوْجٌ كَالظُّلَلِ دَعَوُا اللَّهَ مُخْلِصِينَ لَهُ الدِّينَ فَلَمَّا نَجَّاهُمْ إِلَى الْبَرِّ فَمِنْهُم مُّقْتَصِدٌ ۚ وَمَا يَجْحَدُ بِآيَاتِنَا إِلَّا كُلُّ خَتَّارٍ كَفُورٍ
{And when a wave covers them like shades (i.e., like clouds or the mountains of sea), they invoke Allaah, making their invocations for Him only. But when He brings them safely to land, there are among them those that stop in the middle, between (Belief and disbelief). But none denies Our Signs except every perfidious ungrateful.}
📚 [Surah Luqmaan (31): 31]
Be patient O Muslims! Allaah تعالى responded to the supplications of Shaitaan, the Mushrikeen, and the Kuffaar! Verily, He تعالى will respond to your supplication as well.
Furthermore, a Muslim, even if he were a sinner, should not stop supplicating to Allaah. Every Muslim – the pious and the sinner among us – is in need of Allaah’s favors, blessings, and help. And when Allaah تعالى responds to the supplication, then, in reality, Allaah has honored the person by answering his call.
And if Allaah were to respond to the supplication of a person while that person is still pursuing evil and immorality, then know that this person is heading towards destruction. What he is receiving is only a Fitnah to lure him away from guidance, and then he will be suddenly overtaken by punishment or death while he is preoccupied, negligent, and unaware.
A lot of times, a person may face a calamity and undergo a lot of distress, but he may not find quick relief even after persistent supplications. Perhaps Allaah تعالى wants to test him with two or even more calamities, based on the strength of his Imaan (Faith) in Allaah and His Promises.
Yaqoob عليه السلام lost his son, Yusuf عليه السلام. He patiently waited and supplicated to Allaah for years. Then another son of his was accused of stealing the king’s measuring cup and was “imprisoned”. The third son of his refused to return because he failed his father twice and was ashamed. Then Yaqoob عليه السلام became blind because of the sorrow, yet he did not lose Faith in Allaah’s promise.
So, remember, Allaah تعالى may test a person with one calamity, and He تعالى may not respond to the supplication immediately. But He تعالى may provide relief after a second calamity or the third.
That is why, when a person is facing one calamity, he should persistently and diligently supplicate to Allaah for relief. Perhaps, Allaah تعالى may provide relief or He تعالى may delay. But when the second calamity befalls, and the person is patient, and seeks Allaah’s help through patience and prayers, then know that the relief is not far.
Allaah تعالى said:
أَمَّن جَعَلَ الْأَرْضَ قَرَارًا
{Is not He (better than the objects that you worship besides Him), (the One) Who made the earth a stable ground…}
📚 [Surah al-Naml (27): 61]
The One who has made the earth a stable ground is also capable of providing calmness to your heart and making your life stable?!
Then He تعالى said:
وَجَعَلَ خِلَالَهَا أَنْهَارًا
{…and has placed rivers in its midst}
📚 [Surah al-Naml (27): 61]
The One who made the rivers to run freely is also capable of making your whole life run smoothly, and He سبحانه وتعالى may guide it to whichever direction He تعالى wishes.
Then He تعالى said:
وَجَعَلَ لَهَا رَوَاسِيَ
{…and has placed firm mountains therein…}
📚 [Surah al-Naml (27): 61]
The One who has made the mountains firm is also capable of making your feet firm so that you do not doubt after having received Imaan (Faith).
Then He تعالى said:
وَجَعَلَ بَيْنَ الْبَحْرَيْنِ حَاجِزًا
{…and has set a barrier between the two seas (of salt and sweet water)...}
📚 [Surah al-Naml (27): 61]
If we were to pour water from two different cups into one tumbler, we will never be able to segregate the water of one cup from the other. He تعالى wants to remind you that the One who can place a barrier between the two bodies of water is also capable of placing a barrier between you and the calamities, can place a barrier between you and the hardships, can place a barrier between you and the things that cause you distress. He تعالى can place a barrier between you and everything that you are afraid of.
Then He تعالى said:
أَإِلَٰهٌ مَّعَ اللَّهِ ۚ بَلْ أَكْثَرُهُمْ لَا يَعْلَمُونَ
{Is there any ilaah (object worthy of being worshiped along) with Allaah?}
📚 [Surah al-Naml (27): 61]
No, by Allaah! There is no one worthy of worship except Allaah. It is He Who is the only Ilaah (to be worshipped) in the heaven and the only Ilaah (to be worshipped) on the earth. And He is the All-Wise, the All-Knower.
Then He تعالى said:
بَلْ أَكْثَرُهُمْ لَا يَعْلَمُونَ
{Nay, but most of them know not.}
📚 [Surah al-Naml (27): 61]
But most of mankind is ignorant and associate partners with Allaah in worship, and do not revere Him as He should be revered. They make not a just estimate of Allaah such as is due to Him. Whereas on the Day of Resurrection, the whole of the earth will be grasped by His Hand and the heavens will be rolled up in His Right Hand. Glorified is He, and High is He above all that they associate as partners with Him!
Immediately after this Aayah, Allaah تعالى said:
أَمَّن يُجِيبُ الْمُضْطَرَّ إِذَا دَعَاهُ وَيَكْشِفُ السُّوءَ
{Is not He (better than the objects that you worship besides Him), (the One) Who responds to the desperate one, when he calls Him, and Who removes the evil…}
📚 [Surah al-Naml (27): 62]
Who is it that can protect you from Allaah if He intends to harm you or intends to have mercy on you? For there is no protector or helper besides Allaah ﷻ. O my brothers and sisters! He سبحانه وتعالى responds and answers the supplications of those who are desperate, or distressed, or undergoing hardships, or facing calamities, or suffering pain. It is promise binding upon Him to remove your hardships if you supplicate to Him sincerely.
The He تعالى said:
وَيَجْعَلُكُمْ خُلَفَاءَ الْأَرْضِ
{…and makes you inheritors of the earth, generations after generations…}
📚 [Surah al-Naml (27): 62]
Not only is He تعالى going to remove your hardships, rather, He تعالى is going to make you inheritors of the earth. When you supplicate to Him, He تعالى will provide for you over and above your expectations.
The He تعالى said:
أَإِلَٰهٌ مَّعَ اللَّهِ ۚ قَلِيلًا مَّا تَذَكَّرُونَ
{Is there any ilaah (object worthy of being worshiped along) with Allaah? Little is that you remember!}
📚 [Surah al-Naml (27): 62]
Little do we remember Allaah’s promise when facing a calamity. We hasten towards despair and hopelessness, and start having bad thoughts about Allaah, and begin doubting His promises.
O my brothers and sisters! Trust Allaah, have Faith in his promises. He تعالى will never let us down as long as we are beseeching Him, supplicating to Him, and invoking Him – sincerely, earnestly, diligently, and persistently.
Salmaan al-Faarisee رضي الله عنه narrated that the Prophet ﷺ said: ❝Indeed Allaah is Hayiy (Shy) and Kareem (Most Generous), and is ashamed to allow His servant’s hands to return empty after he has raised them up to Him.❞
📚[Sunan Abu Dawood (1488), Sunan al-Tirmidhee (3556), Sunan Ibn Maajah (3865), and graded as “Saheeh” by Shaikh al-Albaanee. In Sunan Abu Dawood and Ibn Maajah the wordings are: ❝Your Lord is Hayiy❞. In Sunan al-Tirmidhee and Ibn Maajah the additional wordings are ❝to return him empty handed and rejected.❞]
Anas رضي الله عنه said: I heard the Messenger of Allaah ﷺ saying: ❝Allaah تعالى has said: {O son of Aadam, as long as you invoke Me and hope in Me, I shall forgive you in spite of what you have done, and I shall not mind. O son of Aadam! Were your sins (so numerous) to reach the lofty regions of the sky and you then asked forgiveness from Me, I would forgive you. O son of Aadam, were you to come to Me with sins nearly as great as the earth, and were you then to face Me, ascribing no partner to Me in worship, I would bring you forgiveness nearly as great as it (too)}❞
📚 [Sunan al-Tirmidhee (3540) and graded as “Saheeh” by Shaikh al-Albaanee]
If you were to supplicate to Allaah sincerely for forgiveness, He تعالى will respond to your supplications and will forgive you, and He تعالى not care how much you might had sinned earlier. When we turn to Allaah in repentance, He تعالى turns to us with forgiveness, and when we beseech Him for Help, He تعالى will provide for us relief, and when we turn to Him in obedience, He تعالى will provide for us beyond our expectations.
But if one were to associate partners with Him in Worship – and we seek Allaah’s refuge from this – then never will this person find success.

“Fasting and [recitation of] the Qur’ān cleanses impurities of the hearts which are accumulated due to sicknesses [of the heart]: desires, lusts and doubts, in the same manner as water and soap cleanses [our] bodies and clothes. Therefore, sieze the opportunity and take advantage of their coming together in [the blessed month of] Ramadān, and take from them to become amongst those who are truly fortunate¹. In order to attain complete purification of your hearts, therefore [elevate and] purify yourself so that you may become successful.

Marry good and pious person: Don't marry to convert and change deviant and bad persion to good person
Marrying someone to make him/her a Salafi is not from the Salafi Dawah.
Do you want to marry a deviant and give him / her dawah to Salafiyyah ?
Beware!!! Read this and think again.
Some brothers and sisters say that they are ready to marry a deviant and would bring their spouses upon Salafiyyah later. This is throwing oneself into destruction.
Do you know how much could this deal cost? Let's how much did it cost Imraan bin Hattaan.
Imran bin Hattaan was a Tab'iee. He was known to be a Salafi. He had a cousin who was of marriageable age. She was very beautiful and good looking whereas he wasn't. But he was a Salafi and she was a khaariji . He said that he would marry her and bring her upon Salafiyyah.
All those who knew Imraan, told him not to marry her but he went ahead with this. Soon he lost his Manhaj and became a khaariji and started praising ibn Muljim who killed Ali bin Abi Talib رضي الله عنه . A Salafi became a deviant due to a marriage with a deviant.
Hence, it is an act of destruction. A person may do this to invite someone else to Salafiyyah but end up leaving Salafiyyah instead.
This is mentioned by: Imaam Adh Dhahabi in Siyaar An Nubala, Imam Ibn Kathir in Al Bidaayah Wan Nihaayah , And ibn Hajar in Taqreeb Al Tad'heeb and others.
Conditions for acceptance of good deeds, sacrifice, charity and good works
The Prophet Muhammad – Allah’s peace and blessings be upon him – said:
Actions are but by intentions, and everyone will have what he intended. So whoever migrated to Allah and His Messenger, he migrated to Allah and His Messenger. But whoever migrated for some worldly benefit, or to take a woman in marriage, then his migration was only to what he migrated to.
Al-Bukhāri, Muslim and others.
Traditionally, Muslim scholars chose to begin their works by quoting this hadīth, or report, from the Messenger of Allah, Muhammad – Allah’s peace and blessings be upon him. Here is a brief commentary taken from Ibn Rajab’s Jāmi’ Al-‘Ulūm wa Al-Hikam, in which he explains the entire Forty Hadīth collection of Al-Nawawi:
Imām Al-Bukhārī (as Al-Nawawi later did in his Forty Hadīth) begins his Sahīh collection with this hadīth, reminding us that any deed through which Allah’s pleasure is not sought is futile; it will bear no fruits in this life or the hereafter.
ʿAbd Al-Rahmān b. Mahdī, the great scholar of hadīth, said, “If I were to compile a work in chapters, I would place this hadīth at the beginning of each one.” He also said, “Whoever wishes to author a book, he should begin with the hadīth about intentions.”
This hadīth forms a fundamental principle of Islām and an axis around which this way of life revolves.
It is reported that Imām Al-Shāfi’ī said, “This hadīth constitutes a third of all knowledge, and it relates to seventy areas of fiqh (correct understanding of the religion).”
It is reported from Imām Ahmad that he said, “The foundations of Islām are upon three hadīth: the one reported by ʿUmar – ‘Actions are but by intentions’, the one reported by ‘Āishah – ‘Whoever does a deed that does not conform to our commands will have it rejected’ and the one reported by Al-Nu’mān b. Bashīr – ‘The halāl and harām are clear…’”
This hadīth teaches us the principle that acceptance of our deeds and whether or not they are regarded as righteous depends primarily on what the intention behind them is. If the intention is good and pure – to receive Allah’s pleasure and reward, the deed is righteous. Otherwise the deed is futile and false. This is the first thing that needs to be dealt with.
The second condition which needs to be met for our deeds to be accepted by Allah is that they should be in conformity with Islām’s true teachings as taught to us by the Prophet – peace and blessing be upon him – and as understood and applied by the Righteous Predecessors. Hence, the Prophet stated:
Whoever does a deed that does not conform to our commands will have it rejected.
Al-Bukhārī and Muslim.
Ramadan:Dialysis, transfusion, injection, insulin break fast ( sawm)???
1. Transfusion of blood to one who is fasting – such as if he bleeds heavily and is given a blood transfusion. This invalidates the fast because blood is formed from food and drink.
2. Receiving via a needle (as in the case of a drip) nourishing substances which take the place of food and drink, because this is the same as food and drink. Shaykh Ibn ‘Uthaymin, Majalis Shahr Ramadan, p/ 70.
With regard to injections which do not replace food and drink, rather they are administered for the purpose of medical treatment – such as penicillin or insulin – or are given to energize the body, or for the purpose of injections , these do not affect the fast, whether they are intravenous or intramuscular (injected into a vein or a muscle). (Fatawa Muhammad ibn Ibrahim, 4/189) But to be on the safe side, these injections may be given at night.
Kidney dialysis, in which blood is extracted, cleaned and then returned to the body with the addition of chemical substances such as sugars and salts etc. is regarded as invalidating the fast. (Fatawa al-Lajnah al-Daimah, 10/19)
Ref: islamqa.info
Masturbation in Ramadan while fasting: Breaks fast or not ??
Whoever masturbates during the day in Ramadan has to repent to Allah and refrain from eating and drinking for the rest of the day, and he has to make up that fast later on.
If he starts to masturbate then stops without ejaculating, he has to repent, but his fast is still valid, and he does not have to make it up later because he did not ejaculate. The fasting person should keep away from everything that provokes desire and shun bad thoughts.
Ref: Islamqa.info
Masturbation is haraam( forbidden and lawful).
Ramadan Status: Things and acts which break fast( sawm)
There are seven things that break the fast, as follows:
- Intercourse
- Masturbation
- Eating and drinking
- Anything that is regarded as coming under the same heading as eating and drinking
- Letting blood by means of cupping and the like
- Vomiting deliberately
- Menstruation and nifaas

Misconceptions, doubts and queries regarding Zakat ( Zakah) and their clarification and explanation
❌ *22 Common Misconceptions about Zakaah*❌
by Asma bint Shameem
❌ Misconception #1: It’s good that I give Zakaah but I don’t HAVE to do it.
‼️FACT‼️
Zakaah is one of the PILLARS of Islaam and NOT an OPTION.
It is just as important to our faith as Salaah.
In fact, anyone who does not pay Zakaah although it’s due on him is EXTREMELY SINFUL and there is severe warning of punishment from Allaah Subhaanahu wa Ta’aala and His Messenger Sal Allaahu Alaiyhi wa Sallam.
🍃 The Prophet sal Allaahu Alayhi wa sallam said:
"Whoever is given wealth by Allaah and does not pay the Zakaah due thereupon shall find that on the Day of Arising it is made to appear to him as a hairless snake with two black specks, which chains him, and then seizes him by his jaw and says, 'I am your wealth! I am your treasure!'" Then he recited the verse, 'Let not those who are miserly with what God has given them of His bounty think that this is good for them. Rather, it is bad for them. That which they withhold shall be hung around their necks on the Day of Resurrection.' [3:180].” (al-Bukhaari)
Also, the Prophet Sal Allaahu Alaiyhi wa Sallam and his Sahaabah WAGED WAR against such persons even though they uttered the Shahaadah and prayed Salaah.
🍃 About such people Abu Bakr radhi Allaahu anhu said:
"By Allaah! I shall certainly wage war against the people who discriminate between Salaah and Zakaah."
(al-Bukhaari, Muslim)
❌Misconception # 2: My wealth will decrease if I give Zakaat
‼️FACT‼️
That’s NOT true at all.
Allaah Subhaanahu wa Ta’aala promised that He will MULTIPLY whatever we spend in His Path.
🍃 Allaah said:
“The example of those who spend their wealth in the way of Allah is like a seed which grows seven spikes, in each spike is a hundred grains. Allah multiplies His reward for whom He wills, for Allah is vast and knowing.”
(Surah Al-Baqarah :261)
🍃The Prophet Sal Allaahu Alaiyhi wa Sallam said:
“Charity does not decrease wealth.” (Muslim)
❌Misconception #3: I don't have to pay Zakaah every year.
‼️FACT‼️
Zakaah is an obligation that must be paid EVERY year.
The Prophet Sal Allaahu Alaiyhi wa Sallam used to send the Zakaah-collectors to the tribes and cities, and they did not differentiate between those who had paid their Zakaah the previous year and those who had not; rather they used to take the Zakaah that was due on all the “zakaatable” wealth that people possessed.
❌ Misconception # 4: I never paid Zakaah before.
I will just repent and that should be enough
‼️FACT‼️
Anyone who did not pay Zakaah in the previous years, although it was due on him, has to REPENT to Allaah and PAY whatever was due on him all these years.
That’s because Zakaah is a DEBT that we owe Allaah Subhaanahu wa Ta’aala.
It is one of the PILLARS of our Faith. And not paying it is a MAJOR SIN.
So they should calculate whatever Zakaah is due on them from the previous years and pay it as soon as possible.
🍃 Shaikh Ibn Baaz was asked about this issue.
He said:
“You have to pay zakaah for all the past years, and it is not waived due to your ignorance, because the obligation of zakaah is something that no Muslim has any excuse for not knowing, and the ruling is well known to all Muslims.
Zakaah is the third pillar of Islam. What you must do is hasten to pay zakaah for all the past years, and repent to Allaah, may He be glorified and exalted, for delaying it.”
[Majmoo’ Fataawa al-Shaykh Ibn Baaz (14/239)]
❌Misconception # 5: I don’t have to pay Zakaah if I owe a debt
‼️FACT‼️
According to the stronger (and safer) scholarly opinion, the one who has any “zakatable” wealth should pay zakaah on it, even if he has debts.
🍃Shaikh Ibn Uthaymeen said:
Yes, he has to pay zakaah on the wealth that is in his possession, because the texts which speak of the obligation of zakaah are general in meaning, and do not make any exceptions.
No exception is made for one who is in debt. As the texts are general in meaning, we have to follow them.
Zakaah has to do with the wealth itself, not with the person’s obligations towards others; debt has to do with personal obligations towards others.
They are *two separate issues*, so zakaah must be paid from the wealth that is in your possession, and the debt is a personal responsibility.”
(Majmoo’ Fataawa al-Shaykh Ibn ‘Uthaymeen, 18/39)
❌Misconception # 6: I will waive my debt and count that as Zakaah
‼️FACT‼️
🍃Shaikh Ibn Uthaymeen explains:
The Prophet Sal Allaahu Alaiyhi wa Sallam said to Mu’aadh ibn Jabal, when he sent him to Yemen:
“Teach them that Allaah has enjoined upon them zakaah on their wealth, to be taken from their rich and given to their poor.” (al-Bukhaari, Muslim)
He Sal Allaahu Alaiyhi wa Sallam explained that zakaah is something which is to be taken and given, so on this basis, it is not permissible to let off someone who owes you money and count that as zakaah, because letting someone off a debt does not involve taking and giving.”
(Fataawa Manaar al-Islam Vol. 1, P. 309-310)
🍃Ibn Taimiyyah said:
“letting someone off a debt does not relieve one of the obligation of zakaah, and there is no scholarly dispute on this matter.
But you can give this needy person some of your zakaah and he can meet his needs using what you give him as zakaah; and Allaah will help him to pay off his debt in the future, in sha Allaah.”
❌Misconception #7: I have lent someone some money. I don't have to pay Zakaah on it.
‼️FACT‼️
🍃 Shaikh Ibn Uthaymeen said:
“The correct view is that zakaah must be paid on it each year, if it is owed by one who is rich and willing to pay, because it comes under the same ruling as wealth that you have with you.
But he should pay it when he takes possession of the debt, and if he wishes he may pay zakaah on it with the zakaah of the rest of his wealth.
The former is a concession (rukhsah) and the latter is a virtue, and is more expedient in discharging one’s duty.
But if it is owed by one who is delaying payment or one who is hard up, then no zakaah is due on it, even if it remains for ten years, because he is unable to dispose of it, but if he takes possession of it, he should pay zakaah once, for the year in which he took possession of it, and he does not have to pay zakaah for the time that has passed.” [Al-Sharh al-Mumti’ ‘ala Zaad al-Mustaqni’ (6/27, 28)]
❌Misconception # 8: I pay my taxes so I don’t have to pay Zakaah!
‼️FACT‼️
The taxes we pay are to the government and not to Allaah to Whom the Zakaah is due.
And we should spend this Zakaah money only according to the rules of Sharee’ah in certain specific ways.
So we can NOT count on the taxes we pay on our wealth as part of our Zakaah.
Zakaah must be paid SEPARATELY.
🍃 The scholars of the Standing Committee for Issuing Fatwas said:
“It is not permissible to regard the taxes that the owners of wealth pay on their wealth as coming under the heading of the zakaah on that on which it is obligatory to give zakaah. Rather it is obligatory to give the zakaah ordained by Allah to those who are entitled to it according to sharee‘ah, as Allaah Subhaanahu wa Ta’aala says:
“As-Sadaqat (here it means Zakat) are only for the Fuqara’ (poor), and Al-Masakin (the poor)…” [at-Tawbah 9:60]”.
(Fataawa al-Lajnah ad-Daa’imah, 9/285)
❌Misconception # 9: I will use the money that I receive from my bank as interest to pay off Zakaah
‼️FACT‼️
First of all, putting money in the bank account that accrues *interest* is FORBIDDEN, and a MAJOR SIN.
🍃 “The Prophet Sal Allaahu Alaiyhi wa Sallam CURSED the one who consumes riba and the one who pays it.” (Saheeh Muslim)
Using haraam money to pay off our obligatory Zakaah is not right NOR is it acceptable by Allaah.
🍃 The Prophet sal Allaahu Alayhi wa sallam said:
“O people, Allaah is PURE and He ACCEPTS ONLY that which is PURE.” (Saheeh Muslim)
❌Misconception # 10: I will pay Zakaah on whatever is OVER the Nisaab
‼️FACT‼️
If we have wealth that is MORE than the Nisaab, then Zakaah is due on ALL the money, (total amount) and not just on the surplus.
🍃 Shaikh Salih al-Munajjid said:
“If monetary wealth surpasses the amount of nisaab, then zakaat is due upon it ALL, and not upon the surplus only, nor upon the amount of nisaab only, but on the TOTAL.”
❌Misconception #11: Zakaah is due on precious gems, stones and diamonds
‼️FACT‼️
Zakaah is NOT due on gems, precious stones, diamonds, etc. unless you do business in them.
🍃 Shaikh Ibn Baaz said:
“Jewels that are not gold, such as diamonds, are not subject to zakaah, unless they are intended for trade.” (Fatawaa 14/124)
❌Misconception # 12: I will buy diamonds so that I don’t have to pay Zakaah
‼️FACT‼️
Some people try to get out of Zakaah by investing in diamonds, since no Zakaah is due on them. .
Doesn’t Allaah know what’s in our hearts and minds?
Zakaah IS due on diamonds and other gems if they are kept for TRADE.
❌Misconception # 13: The husband “HAS” to pay Zakaah on the wife’s jewelry and wealth
‼️FACT‼️
It is NOT the husband’s duty to pay Zakaah on his wife’s jewelry, wealth, etc.
Rather, it is HER responsibility, since SHE is the owner of the wealth.
However, If her husband or someone else VOLUNTEERS to pay zakaah on her behalf, then that’s fine.
🍃 Shaikh Ibn Baaz said:
“The husband does not have to pay zakaah on the jewelry on his wife’s behalf, because the zakaah is only obligatory on the possessor of the wealth, and the possessor in this case is your wife, because she is the owner of the jewelry.
So she has to pay zakaah on it, either from the jewelry itself or from its monetary value.
If her husband or someone else pays zakaah on her behalf with her permission, that is o.k., and he will be rewarded for this voluntary action.”
(Fataawa Islamiyyah, 2/85)
❌Misconception # 14: I only have gold, but I do not have any money. So, I don’t have to pay Zakaah….
‼️FACT‼️
🍃 Shaykh Ibn Uthaymeen said:
“ Zakaah must be paid on jewelry if it reaches the nisaab, which is eighty-five grams. If it reaches this amount, zakaah must be paid on it.
If she has other wealth and pays from that, there is nothing wrong with it.
If her husband or one of her relatives pays it on her behalf, there is nothing wrong with that.
If neither of these options is available to her, then she should SELL some of it and pay zakaah with that money.”
❌Misconception # 15: I will use my Zakaah money on my “immediate family”
‼️FACT‼️
🍃 Shaykh Ibn Baaz said:
“The Muslim CAN NOT give his zakaah to his parents or to his wife and children; rather he is OBLIGED to spend on them from his wealth if they need that and he is able to spend on them.”
❌Misconception # 16: I cannot give Zakaah to my poor relatives
‼️FACT‼️
It is actually PREFERABLE for a person to give their zakaah to a brother, sister, paternal uncle, paternal aunt or to any other relative, if they are poor.
This is because, giving zakaah to them is both an act of charity AND upholding family ties.
🍃 The Prophet Sal Allaahu Alaiyhi wa Sallam said:
“Charity given to the poor is charity and charity given to a relative is charity AND upholding of family ties.” (Ahmad, al-Nasaa’i - saheeh by al-Albaani)
❌Misconception # 17: A woman cannot give Zakaah to her Husband
‼️FACT‼️
It is OKAY for a woman to give zakaah to her husband, if he is qualified to receive zakaah, because she is not obliged to spend on him.
🍃 Abu Sa’eed al-Khudri radhi Allaahu anhu said:
“When the Prophet Sal Allaahu Alaiyhi wa Sallam commanded the women to give in charity, Zaynab the wife of ‘Abd-Allaah ibn Mas’ood came to him and said:
“O Prophet of Allaah, today you told us to give in charity. I have some jewelry and I want to give it in charity, but Ibn Mas’ood claims that he and his child are more deserving of my charity.”
The Prophet Sal Allaahu Alaiyhi wa Sallam said:
“Ibn Mas’ood has spoken the truth. Your husband and child are more deserving of your charity.”
(al-Bukhaari, Muslim)
❌Misconception # 18: Zakaah can be given to Non-Muslims if they are poor
‼️FACT‼️
It is NOT permissible to give Zakaah to non Muslims except to the one who’s heart is inclined towards Islaam, in the hope that his heart will be softened and he will become Muslim if you give him zakaah.
That’s what Allaah said in Surah al-Tawbah Aayah 60.
But we can help them with our Sadaqah (voluntary charity).
❌Misconception # 19: I will use Zakaah to build hospitals, masaajid and orphanages
‼️FACT‼️
According to the majority of the scholars, this is not permissible.
That’s because this is not included in the eight categories on which zakaah may be spent.
🍃 Allaah tells us that Zakaah may be spent on the following:
“As-Sadaqaat (Zakaah) are only for the Fuqaraa’ (poor), and Al-Masaakeen (the poor) and those employed to collect (the funds); and to attract the hearts of those who have been inclined (towards Islam); and to free the captives; and for those in debt; and for Allaah’s Cause (Mujaahidoon — those fighting in a holy battle), and for the wayfarer (a traveler who is cut off from everything)” [al-Tawbah:60]
But if the intention in giving the money to an orphanage is so that this money will be spent on the poor orphans, then this is permissible, if the orphans are poor.
🍃 Ibn Qudaamah said:
“It is not permissible to spend zakaah on anything other than what Allaah has mentioned here, such as building masaajid, bridges and aqueducts, maintaining roads, shrouding the dead, providing hospitality to visitors and other acts of charity that Allaah did not mention here.” [al-Mughni (2/280)]
But some of the contemporary ulama are of the opinion that zakaat money MAY be used to build masaajid, islaamic schools, etc especially in non-Muslim countries.
That’s because, in their opinion, one of the categories of zakaat is “Fee Sabeelillaah” or “in Allaah’s Cause”.
And according to these contemporary ulama, “Fee Sabeelillaah” also includes masjids and Islaamic schools because that’s da’wah especially in non-Muslim countries and that’s “in Allaah’s Cause”.
However, the majority of the scholars however do NOT agree with that.
They are of the opinion that “Fee Sabeelillaah” means “for Jihaad and Mujaahidoon” ONLY.
❌Misconception # 20: Zakaah is the same as Zakaat ul-Fitr
‼️FACT‼️
Zakaat al-Fitr is NOT the same as Zakaatul Maal.
These are two separate entities and whoever paid Zakaah is NOT relieved of paying Zakaat al-Fitr and vice-versa.
❌Misconception # 21: I have to INFORM the one I am giving, that it is Zakaah
‼️FACT‼️
You *do not* have to tell the recipient that it is zakaah.
🍃 Someone asked Shaykh Sa’d Al-Humayd about informing their poor uncle before giving him Zakaah.
He said:
“If your uncle is poor and is thereby entitled to zakaah, then it is OK to give him the zakaah of your wealth, or some of it. This is not subject to any condition of your telling him of that.”
❌Misconception # 22: Zakaah has to be paid in Ramadhaan only
‼️FACT‼️
Zakaah should be paid if a person has wealth that has reached the Nisaab and is saved in his possession for ONE WHOLE LUNAR YEAR since the time he acquired that wealth.
So he should pay Zakaah WHENEVER that year is completed.
If he acquired that wealth in Rajab, he has to pay Zakaah on it In Rajab of next year.
If he acquired that wealth in Muharram, he has to pay Zakaah on it next Muharram.
And Allaah knows best
