Summary of the Prophet's Prayer Lesson 6 https://youtu.be/jinLleS0IcY

From the guidance of the Prophet ﷺ is to supplicate for the safety and victory of those striving in Allah’s cause. Abu Umāmah said to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ: “Ask Allah to grant me martyrdom.” So he said: ((اللهم سلّمهم وغنّمهم)) “O Allah, keep them safe and grant them spoils of war.” Abu Umāmah said: “So we were kept safe and we gained spoils.” [ Reported by Ahmad, and it is included in as-Ṣaḥīḥ al-Musnad] So, O Allah, grant victory to our brothers who are striving in Your cause, keep them safe, grant them victory and spoils, and guide them to what is correct. O Allah, purify the lands of Yemen from the evil of the Rāfiḍah Houthis, and protect us from the evil of all their supporters.

The Ruling on Charging Your Phone in the Masjid Sheikh Sa'd Al-Khathlan hafidhahullah said: Charging your phone in the masjid involves using a small amount of electricity from the public treasury of the Muslims (Bayt al-Māl), because in our country (i.e. Saudi), the masjids are generally funded through the public treasury. In some countries, however, masjids may be funded by charitable individuals. Even in Saudi Arabia, there are a small number of masjids where the owner takes care of everything related to the masjid. But we are speaking about the general situation, which is that the electricity comes from the public treasury of the Muslims. So, is this small amount of use something that can be overlooked? When we look at the Islamic texts, we find that they allow for overlooking things that are very small and insignificant. Among these is the statement of the Prophet ﷺ: “If one of you enters a garden, let him call out three times: ‘O owner of the garden!’ If he responds, then fine; otherwise, he may eat. And if he comes across livestock, let him call out three times: ‘O shepherd of the camels!’ If he responds, then fine; otherwise, he may drink.” This hadith is found in the books of Sunan and has several supporting narrations and chains. When all of them are considered together, the hadith is established as authentic. The Hanbali jurists adopted this hadith as evidence. According to their position, if someone comes across a garden that is not enclosed by a wall, he may eat some of its fruit. It is recommended for him to call out, “O owner of the garden!” If the owner comes, then fine; otherwise, he may eat from it. However, he may not take any of the fruit away with him—he may only eat from it there. Likewise, if he comes across livestock, he may call out, “O shepherd of the camels!” and he may milk the animal without any sin upon him. The Hanbalis took the apparent meaning of this hadith. The majority of scholars, however, did not permit this. They based their position on the statement of the Prophet ﷺ: “No one should milk another person's livestock without his permission.” However, since the hadith mentioning the owner of the garden is authentic, it can be understood as referring specifically to someone who comes across a garden that is not enclosed and wants to eat from it, or livestock that has no shepherd and wants to drink its milk without taking anything away with him. As for the hadith, “No one should milk another person's livestock,” it applies to situations other than this. Therefore, the hadith about calling out to the owner of the garden is specific and qualifies the general wording of the hadith prohibiting a person from milking someone else's livestock. The other schools—the Hanafis, Malikis and Shafi‘is—held that this is not permissible, whereas the Hanbalis held that it is permissible. The stronger position is that of the Hanbalis in this matter because, as we mentioned, the hadith is authentic. Once a hadith is established as authentic, we act upon all the relevant hadiths rather than acting upon one and abandoning others. Imam Ash-Shafi‘i rahimahullah said that if the hadith about the owner of the garden were authentic, he would act upon it. However, he questioned its authenticity. But the hadith has several supporting narrations and chains, and it appears that when all of them are considered together, it is authentic. The point relevant to our discussion is this: if a person is permitted to drink from someone else's livestock without their permission after calling out to the owner, then what about charging a phone using electricity that comes from the Muslims' public treasury, to which a person already has a right? It is even more appropriate that this should be permissible. Furthermore, when it comes to lost property, something insignificant that people generally do not pay much attention to may be taken. Examples include a whip, a stick, or small amounts of money—one riyal, two riyals, or perhaps five riyals. If you find such an amount on the road, you may take it. If this is permissible even with privately owned property, because the amount is so small and insignificant, then what about something that comes from the public treasury of the Muslims, in which a person already has a right? It is even more deserving of being permissible. Based on this, and Allah knows best, it appears that charging your phone in the mosque is permissible and there is no harm in doing so. Furthermore, the facilities of the mosque are provided to serve the worshippers. The electricity is used to provide lighting for the worshippers; the water and air conditioning are also provided for their benefit. Charging a mobile phone—particularly for those who are in i‘tikāf—can likewise be considered part of serving the worshippers, and there is no harm in it. Also, this is something that is commonly accepted in people's customs. If you went to any person—even someone who was poor—and said, “Can I charge my phone here?” would they refuse? They generally would not. Even if the person were poor, a worker, or anyone else, if you asked them to charge your phone, they would normally not object, because this is among the small matters that people customarily overlook and allow. Therefore, the apparent conclusion is that there is no harm in charging your phone in the mosque.

#LIFE_LESSONS Advice is often cheapest when it is simply listened to. Experience can be a very expensive teacher! Sometimes, sincere advice is given out of genuine concern. You can either take the advice and benefit from it, or dismiss it and wait until experience teaches you the lesson. Example 1: “Auntie, don’t display pictures of all your achievements on social media. You risk exposing yourself and your family to the evil eye.” Response: “No, it’s fine. There’s nothing wrong with it.” A few days later, the auntie suddenly falls unwell. She develops unexplained symptoms and becomes unable to walk. The doctors are unable to determine the cause. “I need a rāqī. Do you know anyone?” Some learn the easy way. Others learn the hard way. --- Example 2: “Sister, avoid discussing your marital problems with other people. Not everyone wants good for you, and once private matters leave your home, you can’t control where they end up.” Response: “It’s okay. I only told one sister; she’s trustworthy.” A few months later, her marital problems have become the talk of the town. Sister Fulānah told Sister Fulānah, who told Sister Fulānah… and now everyone knows. The sister feels embarrassed and exposed. She wishes she had kept the matter private, especially because the involvement of others only made the situation worse. Some learn the easy way. Others learn the hard way. --- Example 3: “Brother, don’t rush into a major financial decision without seeking advice from people who have experience. Take your time and investigate properly.” Response: “I’ve looked into it. I know what I’m doing.” Months later, the investment turns sour, the money is gone, and he realises that a little patience and seeking advice could have saved him a great deal of hardship. Some learn the easy way. Others learn the hard way. --- Example 4: “Brother, don’t neglect your parents while they are still with you. Visit them, serve them and make the most of the time you have with them.” Response: “I’m busy. I’ll see them when I get the chance.” Then one day, the phone rings with news he never expected. Suddenly, all those things he thought he would do “one day” can no longer be done. He wishes he had listened when the advice was given. Some learn the easy way. Others learn the hard way. #Tarbiyah@masjidsahabah https://t.me/masjidsahabah/2384
