Reminder: From sunset today, those who intend to offer the udhiyah should refrain from that which was covered in the above post.

In addition to that which our shaykh mentions, it is also legislated to carry out the takbīr from the beginning of the month due to the statement of Allāh ﷻ لِيَشْهَدُوا مَنَافِعَ لَهُمْ وَيَذْكُرُوا اسْمَ اللَّهِ فِي أَيَّامٍ مَعْلُومَاتٍ  That they may witness benefits for themselves and mention the name of Allah on known days… (22:28) The scholars of tafsīr explain the known days to be the 10 days of Dhul Hijjah.

Questions regarding the takbīr by our Shaykh Abdullah Al-Iryānī حفظه الله

﷽ Reminder: As was announced last night, there will be no lesson tonight in shā Allāh. All late night lessons will be paused until the week after Eid in shā Allāh. Not to forget: The lesson with our brother Abū Ibrāhīm Fahad will be streamed on this channel tomorrow at 4pm in shā Allāh.

﷽ Friday 27/11/44 - 16/06/23 Reminder: With Dhul Hijjah starting either on Monday or Tuesday (depending on the sighting of the crescent), we would like to remind those who intend to do the udhiyah (offering sacrifice)to carry out the sunan of the fitrah before the month enters. This is because they will not be able to do so once the month enters until the day of Eid Al-Adhā once the udhiyah has been offered. The sunan of the fitrah being referenced here are: 1: Clipping nails 2: Removing hairs from the body (armpit hairs, pubic hairs and moustache) In addition to this, getting a haircut. This is due to the hadīth of Umm Salamah, the mother of the believers (may Allāh be pleased with her) that the messenger of Allāh ﷺ said: ‏ "‏ إِذَا دَخَلَتِ الْعَشْرُ وَأَرَادَ أَحَدُكُمْ أَنْ يُضَحِّيَ فَلاَ يَمَسَّ مِنْ شَعَرِهِ وَبَشَرِهِ شَيْئًا ‏"‏ ‏ “When any one of you intending to sacrifice the animal enters in the month (of Dhu'l-Hijja) he should not get his hair or nails touched (cut)”. (Muslim, 1977) And in a another narration reported by Muslim with a slightly different wording: ‏ "‏ إِذَا رَأَيْتُمْ هِلاَلَ ذِي الْحِجَّةِ وَأَرَادَ أَحَدُكُمْ أَنْ يُضَحِّيَ فَلْيُمْسِكْ عَنْ شَعْرِهِ وَأَظْفَارِهِ ‏"‏ ‏.‏ May Allāh allow us to reach these blessed days, the best days in the dunyā and may He make us from those who He frees from the fire during that period.

Benefit: If you do end up reading that book, then know that from the names mentioned that are said to be the names of the prophet ﷺ only the ones in this pdf are. The others are descriptions of the prophet ﷺ

This is the book I was referring to at the end.

At-Tirmidhī (3175, graded Sahīh by Al-Albaānī in Sahīh At-Tirmidhī) and other report on the authority of ‘Āisha (mother of the believers) may Allāh be pleased with her said: ‎سَأَلْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم عَنْ هَذِهِ الآيَةِ ‏:‏ ‏(‏ والَّذِينَ يُؤْتُونَ مَا آتَوْا وَقُلُوبُهُمْ وَجِلَةٌ ‏)‏ قَالَتْ عَائِشَةُ أَهُمُ الَّذِينَ يَشْرَبُونَ الْخَمْرَ وَيَسْرِقُونَ قَالَ ‏"‏ لاَ يَا بِنْتَ الصِّدِّيقِ وَلَكِنَّهُمُ الَّذِينَ يَصُومُونَ وَيُصَلُّونَ وَيَتَصَدَّقُونَ وَهُمْ يَخَافُونَ أَنْ لاَ يُقْبَلَ مِنْهُمْ أُولَئِكَ الَّذِينَ يُسَارِعُونَ فِي الْخَيْرَاتِ وَهُمْ لَهَا سَابِقُونَ ‏"‏ ‏.‏ "I asked the Messenger of Allah ﷺ about this verse: “And those who give that which they give with their hearts full of fear... (23:60)" 'Aishah said: "Are they those who drink alcohol and steal?" He said: "No, O daughter of As-Siddīq. They are those who fast, pray and give charity while they fear that their Lord will not accept it from them: “It is these who hasten to do good deeds, and they are the foremost of them (23:61).” Allāh ‎ﷻ also said: ‎وَإِذۡ یَرۡفَعُ إِبۡرَ ٰ⁠هِـۧمُ ٱلۡقَوَاعِدَ مِنَ ٱلۡبَیۡتِ وَإِسۡمَـٰعِیلُ رَبَّنَا تَقَبَّلۡ مِنَّاۤۖ إِنَّكَ أَنتَ ٱلسَّمِیعُ ٱلۡعَلِیمُ ۝١٢٧ “And [mention] when Ibrāhīm was raising the foundations of the House and [with him] Ismā’īl, [saying], "Our Lord, accept [this] from us. Indeed You are the Hearing, the Knowing”. (2:127) Ibn Kathīr says in his tafsīr of this verse: ‎رَبَّنَا تَقَبَّلْ مِنَّا إِنَّكَ أَنْتَ السَّمِيعُ الْعَلِيمُ) فَهُمَا فِي عَمَلٍ صَالِحٍ، وَهُمَا يَسْأَلَانِ اللَّهَ تَعَالَى أَنْ يَتَقَبَّلَ مِنْهُمَا، كَمَا رَوَى ابْنُ أَبِي حَاتِمٍ مِنْ حَدِيثِ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ يَزِيدَ بْنِ خُنَيْسٍ الْمَكِّيِّ، عَنْ وُهَيْبِ بْنِ الْوَرْدِ: أَنَّهُ قَرَأَ: ﴿وَإِذْ يَرْفَعُ إِبْرَاهِيمُ الْقَوَاعِدَ مِنَ الْبَيْتِ وَإِسْمَاعِيلُ رَبَّنَا تَقَبَّلْ مِنَّا﴾ ثُمَّ يَبْكِي وَيَقُولُ: يَا خَلِيلَ الرَّحْمَنِ، تَرْفَعُ قَوَائِمَ بَيْتِ الرَّحْمَنِ وَأَنْتَ مُشْفق أَنْ لَا يَتَقَبَّلَ مِنْكَ. (Our Lord, accept [this] from us) “They are carrying out a righteous action and are asking Allāh to accept it from them as Ibn Abī Hātim reported on the authority of Wuhayb Bin Ward that he recited this verse then cried whilst saying: “O Khalīl Ar-Rahmān! (the intimate friend of Ar-Rahmān) you are raising the foundations of the house of Ar-Rahmān and fear that it will not be accepted from you. In a time of fitnah where many people rush to record and post everything they do, we should remind ourselves to give great importance to why we are carrying out these actions and for whom. Allāh ‎ﷻ said: ‎إِنَّمَا یَتَقَبَّلُ ٱللَّهُ مِنَ ٱلۡمُتَّقِینَ ۝٢٧ "Indeed, Allah only accepts from the righteous [who fear Him]. ‘Alī may Allāh be pleased with him would say: “Give more importance to your actions being accepted than carrying out the action and he then went on to mention the above verse”. (Ibn Abī Dunyā, the book of sincerity and the intention, pg39). We ask Allāh that He grants us sincerity in speech and action. https://t.me/Gardensofknowledge

Allāh ‎ﷻ said: ﴿إِنَّ ٱلَّذِینَ هُم مِّنۡ خَشۡیَةِ رَبِّهِم مُّشۡفِقُونَ ۝٥٧ وَٱلَّذِینَ هُم بِـَٔایَـٰتِ رَبِّهِمۡ یُؤۡمِنُونَ ۝٥٨ وَٱلَّذِینَ هُم بِرَبِّهِمۡ لَا یُشۡرِكُونَ ۝٥٩ وَٱلَّذِینَ یُؤۡتُونَ مَاۤ ءَاتَوا۟ وَّقُلُوبُهُمۡ وَجِلَةٌ أَنَّهُمۡ إِلَىٰ رَبِّهِمۡ رَ ٰ⁠جِعُونَ ۝٦٠ أُو۟لَـٰۤىِٕكَ یُسَـٰرِعُونَ فِی ٱلۡخَیۡرَ ٰ⁠تِ وَهُمۡ لَهَا سَـٰبِقُونَ ۝٦١﴾ [المؤمنون ٥٧-٦١] “Indeed, they who are apprehensive from fear of their Lord. And they who believe in the signs of their Lord. And they who do not associate anything with their Lord And they who give what they give while their hearts are fearful because they will be returning to their Lord. It is those who hasten to good deeds, and they outstrip [others] therein”. (23:57-61)

بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم Lesson will start shortly in shā Allāh
