Assalamu Alaikum Warahamtullahi Wabraktuh

This website is run by brother Aboo Thaabit, Isma’eel bin Muhammad Noor, a student at the Islamic University of Madeenah (the city of the Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم) Saudi Arabia.

The aim of the website is to provide authentic Islamic knowledge from its main sources and to serve as an inspiration for Muslim youth everywhere. Its main focus is to translate Arabic material into the English language so that the non Arabic speakers might benefit and hopefully make them realise the vast amounts of knowledge that opens up when a person learns the language of the Qur’aan.

This website strictly follows the Qur’aan and Sunnah upon the understanding of the pious predecessors both in terms of Aqeedah as well as Manhaj. However we are all prone to mistakes and if anyone sees any mistakes whatsoever, please do not feel shy to point it out.

As for the services provided on this website, then the fatwa service will inshAllaah be answered by real scholars and not by Aboo Thaabit himself, since he is not a scholar by any means rather he is only a student of knowledge (if even that) and the SMS service is free of charge and will be run to the best of its ability.

Feel free to subscribe to this website through its RSS feed on the top left corner as well as following the da’wah on twitter etc.

May Allaah make this website a success and a means to please Him and only Him.

Sajdah Tilaawah

The scholar ibn Rushd al-Qurtubi mentions in his book Bidaayatul Mujtahid wa Nihaayatul Muqtasid regarding prostrating when reading a verse of the Qur'aan that signifies prostration:

So as for the ruling of Sujud Tilaawah then Aboo Haneefah and his companions said it is Waajib and Maalik and Shaafi'ee [and Ahmad] said it is sunnah and not Waajib.

And the reason for their difference is that they differed regarding the verses and reports, do they come in the form of an obligation or not? For an example the statement of Allah the Most High:

إِذَا تُتْلَى عَلَيْهِمْ آيَاتُ الرَّحْمَن خَرُّوا سُجَّدًا وَبُكِيًّا

[and] whenever the messages of the Most Gracious were conveyed unto them, they would fall down [before Him], prostrating themselves and weeping.

Does this verse show an obligation or does it show that it is only a sunnah?

Aboo Haneefah understood the verse on its face value that is Waajib. But as for Maalik and Shaafi'ee [and Ahmad] then they followed the understanding of the companions regarding this verse since they are the ones that understood Islaam the best.

It was reported that 'Umar bin Khattaab read surah Sajdah on a friday, then he got down and made Sajdah Tilaawah and the people made sajdah with him. Then the following friday he read surah Sajdah again and the people got ready to make sujud where upon 'Umar said to the people 'At ease, verily Allah has not made it obligatory upon us except that we do it ourselves.

So they [Maalik, Shaafi'ee and Ahmad] said and this [incident with 'Umar] was infront of the Sahaabah, and there is no difference amongst them that has been reported, and they were the ones that understood Islaam as it was ought to be understood. So since there is no dispute amongst the Sahaabah regarding this then it is firm evidence.

Passing away in Ramadhaan

Question: The Prophet said;
When Ramadhaan arrives the doors of Paradise are flung open and the doors of Hellfire are slammed shut.
Does this mean that one who dies in Ramadhaan enters Paradise without questioning? Answer: The situation is not as such. Rather, what this means is the doors of Paradise are flung open as an inspiration to the Muslims to make easy their entry (to Paradise). And the doors of Hellfire are shut to prevent the Believers from sins such that they do not enter (through) these doors. And this does not mean that one who dies in Ramadhaan enters Paradise without questioning, rather those who shall enter Paradise without questioning are those whom the Messenger has described in his statement;
They are the ones who do not steal and do not cauterise and are not pessimistic and in their Lord they put their trust.
[Fataawa Shaykh Muhammad as-Saalih al-Uthaymeen Volume 1, Page 561]
