Ramadan is around the corner!

ME,

 

Rahima is right. There’s a ruling on prayers and fasting in those countries where the sun stays up. There are many hadiths regarding these matters, but Socod_badne doesn’t follow the sunnah. Maybe that’s why he doesn’t think the rulings are different.

 

Islam is universal religion that’s compatible and applicable in at all times. Here's a fatwa concerning Ramadan in countries where days and nights are sometimes continues.

 

Haneefah,

 

Sudais will hopefully be replaced by another qari of a same level. Everyone loved Ali Jaber when he was the Imam of Masjid Haraam but when Sudias come to the picture, we all loved him more. It’s a blesseing from Allah to have qari, one after another with a beautiful voice and excellent recitation.

There are NO Hadiths (sahih or otherwise) that speak about Ramadan times at the Article cirle. And the reason why is pretty self-explanatory: the Hadith authors didn't know better.

 

But since you have knowledge of these yet undiscovered Hadiths, describing about what to do during Ramadan if you live in the Article circle, you could be perhaps share it with us.

This is linguistic redundancy that says absolutely nothing. As the saying goes, "proof of the pudding is in the eating!"

Should you not be stating where this is not the case first?

Can't wait for Ramadan. I intend to make use of the opportunity, altho it is the same story every year we are tested with other obligations like school, work etc. that take up so much of our time. The older one gets the harder it becomes with all the added responsibilities, but but we all have to prioritize. So sep 24? Ramadan Kareem in advance to all my lovely nomads.

I hope you don’t expect me to cite hadiths to a hadith denier. I don’t expect a hadith and sharia denier to deem Islam as universal religion that’s compatible with modern-day technology and lifestyle. Sxb unless you’re after some nonsense nacnac, the answer to the question is found in the link included in my previous post. Do yourself a favor and concentrate on what you know and do best, praising gay bars and swing clubs whilst deriding Islamic guidance, scholars & followers.

 

And one last thing, before you brag about your linguistic acquisitions, work on your spelling skills son and proofread before you hit the reply button. Some of what you write can hardly be understood. Come back and tell me what the heck is Article cirle? Do you mean Arctic Circle?

Stop squirming and produce what you said (but ever one else knows was a lie) existed. If such Hadiths exist, you should be able to produce them regardless of whatever credence I'll lend to them. You're prevaricating and you're not putting on anyone... we can all see through your facade. Show us the Hadiths that talk about Artic fasting times or admit to lying when you said they exist.

Salaams,

 

Why wait untill Ramadan, get your spirituality on roll in Shab'an

 

Insha Allah, I plan to treat it like my last ramadan on earth. I hope Allah blesses with emaan through ramadan.

^^^ Ameen for you and may Allah make it productive for us all. I truly love the month of Ramadan. The prayers, Taraweh and Tahajud being my most favorite. It's ironic that when I was in Africa I took Ramadhan less seriously than I do now. Maybe coming to "dhul-gaalo" isn't all bad after all.

Ramadan '07 is about six or seven weeks away. It's said to be in the second week of September.

It is Shacbaan.

 

Fasting in Sha'baan:

 

‘Aa’ishah (may Allaah be pleased with her) said: “The Messenger (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) used to fast until we thought he would never break his fast, and not fast until we thought he would never fast. I never saw the Messenger of Allaah fasting for an entire month except in Ramadaan, and I never saw him fast more than he did in Sha’baan.” (Narrated by al-Bukhaari, no. 1833; Muslim, no. 1956).

 

 

A group of scholars, including Ibn al-Mubaarak and others, thought that the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) did not fast all of Sha’baan, but he fasted most of it. This is supported by a report in Saheeh Muslim (no. 1954) narrated from ‘Aa’ishah (may Allaah be pleased with her), who said: “I never knew of him – meaning the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) – fasting for any entire month apart from Ramadaan.” According to another report also narrated by Muslim (no. 1955), ‘Aa’ishah said: “I never saw him fast for any entire month from the time he came to Madeenah, apart from Ramadaan.”

 

It was reported in al-Saheehayn that Ibn ‘Abbaas said: “The Messenger of Allaah (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) did not fast any entire month apart from Ramadaan.” (Narrated by al-Bukhaari, no. 1971, and Muslim, no. 1157). Ibn ‘Abbaas regarded it as makrooh to fast any entire month apart from Ramadaan. Ibn Hajar (may Allaah be pleased with him) said: “He observed more voluntary fasts in Sha’baan than in any other month, and he used to fast most of Sha’baan.”

 

Usaamah ibn Zayd (may Allaah be pleased with them both) said: “I said, ‘O Messenger of Allaah, I do not see you fasting in any other month like you fast in Sha’baan.’ He said, ‘That is a month to which people do not pay attention, between Rajab and Ramadaan, and it is a month in which deeds are lifted up to the Lord of the Worlds. I like for my deeds to be lifted up when I am fasting.’” (Narrated by al-Nasaa’i, see Saheeh al-Targheeb wa’l-Tarheeb, page 425). According to a report narrated by Abu Dawood (no. 2076) she said: “The most beloved of months for the Messenger of Allaah (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) to fast in was Sha’baan, and his fasting in Sha’baan was continuous with his fasting in Ramadaan.” (Classed as saheeh by al-Albaani, see Saheeh Sunan Abi Dawood, 2/461).

 

Ibn Rajab (may Allaah have mercy on him) said: “Fasting in Sha’baan is better than fasting in the Sacred Months, and the best of voluntary fasts are those that are (observed in the months) closest to Ramadaan, before or after. The status of these fasts is like that of al-Sunan al-Rawaatib which are done before and after fard (prayers) and which make up for any shortfall in the number of obliagtory prayers. The same applies to fasts observed before and after Ramadaan. Just as al-Sunan al-Rawaatib are better than other kinds of voluntary prayers, so fasts observed (in the months) before and after Ramadaan are better than fasts at other times.

 

The phrase “Sha’baan is a month to which people do not pay attention, between Rajab and Ramadaan” indicates that because it comes between two important months, the Sacred Month of Rajab and the month of fasting, people are preoccupied with those two months and they do not pay attention to Sha’baan. Many people think that fasting in Rajab is better than fasting in Sha’baan, because Rajab is one of the Sacred Months, but this is not the case.

 

These reports indicate that fasting in the month of Sha'ban, though not obligatory, is so meritorious that Prophet Muhammad, Sall-Allahu alayhi wa sallam, did not like to miss it.

 

But it should be kept in mind that the fasts of Sha'ban are for those persons only who are capable of keeping them without causing deficiency in the obligatory fasts of Ramadan. Therefore, if one fears that after fasting in Sha'ban, he will lose strength or freshness for the fasts of Ramadan and will not be able to fast in it with freshness, he should not fast in Sha'ban, because the fasts of Ramadan, being obligatory, are more important than the optional fasts of Sha'ban.

 

Fasting towards the end of Sha'baan:

 

Ibn `Abbas (May Allah be pleased with them) reported: The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said, "Do not observe Saum (fasting) before the advent of Ramadan. Observe Saum at sighting of the crescent of Ramadan and terminate it at sighting the crescent (of Shawwal). If the sky is overcast, complete (the month as) thirty (days).'' [At-Tirmidhi].

 

Ammar bin Yasir (May Allah be pleased with them) reported: He who observes the fast on a doubtful day, has in fact disobeyed Abul-Qasim, (i.e., Messenger of Allah (PBUH)). [Abu Dawud and At-Tirmidhi].

 

"Doubtful day'' here signifies the day of 30th Sha`ban. In other words, if the moon is not sighted on 29th of Sha`ban because of clouds and a person observes Saum, he will be in doubt whether it is the 30th of Sha`ban or the 1st of Ramadan. Thus, there is no need to observe Saum on a doubtful day, and one should complete thirty days of the month of Sha`ban.

[Aaliyyah]

I wish u all happy Ramadan in advance. Lets make the best of it insha allah, with not only praying but reciting the koran, attending the mosque as much time as possible.

 

 

I so look forward to fast , pray tarawiih and salatu al-leyl. Even though it will be a bit challenging with attending school n working. But, that is the whole point, Allah wants to see how we endure it.

 

wa salaamu alaikum
