2022-05-03 19:58:50 How simple it is to delude the people in the name of Islaamic Nasheed. Just because a SONG has the name of Allaah, or His Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم, or Ramadhaan, or Eid mentioned in it doesn’t make it permissible to hear.

It is like the example of someone pouring wine in a water bottle and drinking it.

People like Sami Zain, Zain Bhika and their likes are SINGERS. They sell their songs and earn in Millions.

Let me emphasize this... they MISLEAD people and make MILLIONS.

As Allaah تبارك وتعالى said:

وَمِنَ النَّاسِ مَن يَشْتَرِي لَهْوَ الْحَدِيثِ لِيُضِلَّ عَن سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ بِغَيْرِ عِلْمٍ وَيَتَّخِذَهَا هُزُوًا ۚ أُولَٰئِكَ لَهُمْ عَذَابٌ مُّهِينٌ

{And of mankind is he who purchases idle talks (i.e. music, singing) to mislead (men) from the path of Allaah without knowledge, and takes it (the path of Allaah, or the Verses of the Qur’aan) by way of mockery. For such there will be a humiliating torment (in the Hellfire).}
[Surah Luqmaan (31):6]

Ibn Masood رضي الله عنه commented: “This - by Allaah - refers to singing”

Qataadah said: "By Allaah, he may not spend money on it, but his purchasing it means he likes it, and the more misguided he is, the more he likes it and the more he prefers falsehood to the truth and harmful things over beneficial things.”

It was reported from Abu Aamir and Ibn Maalik al-Ash`ari رضي الله عنهما that the Messenger of Allaah صلى الله عليه وسلم said: “There will be among my ummah (people) who will permit illegal sexual activity (zinaa), silk, alcohol and musical instruments…”

Abu Maalik al-Asharee رضي الله عنه reported: The Messenger of Allaah (ﷺ) said:
❝ . and charity is proof.❞
[Saheeh Muslim (223)]

Notes:
❝And charity is proof (of one's faith)❞, meaning: it is a proof of the true Faith of the Believers, in opposition to the hypocrites. A hypocrite abstains from giving charity because he does not truly believe in Allaah and the Last Day. So, whoever gives charity, then through his actions he is proving the sincerity of his Faith in Allaah and the Last Day. As Allaah تعالى said:

الَّذِينَ يُؤْمِنُونَ بِالْغَيْبِ وَيُقِيمُونَ الصَّلَاةَ وَمِمَّا رَزَقْنَاهُمْ يُنفِقُونَ

{Who believe in al- Ghaib (the unseen) and perform al-Salaah, and spend out of what we have provided for them [i.e., give charity]}
[Surah al-Baqarah (2): 3]

As for the hypocrites and the Kuffaar, Allaah تعالى mentioned about them:

وَإِذَا قِيلَ لَهُمْ أَنفِقُوا مِمَّا رَزَقَكُمُ اللَّهُ قَالَ الَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا لِلَّذِينَ آمَنُوا أَنُطْعِمُ مَن لَّوْ يَشَاءُ اللَّهُ أَطْعَمَهُ إِنْ أَنتُمْ إِلَّا فِي ضَلَالٍ مُّبِينٍ

{And when it is said to them: “Spend of that with which Allaah has provided you,” those who disbelieve say to those who believe: “Shall we feed those whom, if Allaah willed, He (Himself) would have fed? You are only in a plain error.”}
[Surah Yaaseen (36): 47]

And if the hypocrites and the Kuffaar were to spend, they mostly do it for showing-off:

وَالَّذِينَ يُنفِقُونَ أَمْوَالَهُمْ رِئَاءَ النَّاسِ وَلَا يُؤْمِنُونَ بِاللَّهِ وَلَا بِالْيَوْمِ الْآخِرِ ۗ وَمَن يَكُنِ الشَّيْطَانُ لَهُ قَرِينًا فَسَاءَ قَرِينًا

{And (also) those who spend of their substance to be seen of men, and believe not in Allaah and the Last Day [they are the friends of Shaitan], and whoever takes Shaitan as a companion; then what a dreadful companion he has!}
[Surah al-Nisaa (4): 38]



Be prompt in giving out your Zakaah and Sadaqah

Have you ever contemplated why the dead would prefer “Sadaqah” as his choice of good deed over the other things if he were ever allowed to return to this world?! As Allaah تعالى mentioned:

فَيَقُولَ رَبِّ لَوْلَا أَخَّرْتَنِي إِلَىٰ أَجَلٍ قَرِيبٍ فَأَصَّدَّقَ

{…and he would say: "My Lord! If only You would give me respite for a little while (i.e. return to the worldly life), then I should give Sadaqah (charity of my wealth)…}
[Surah al-Munaafiqoon (63): 10]

It is not mentioned that he would say: “so that I could fast”, or “I could pray”…

Perhaps the reason for mentioning the Sadaqah here is because of its great virtues and its lasting effects which the dead will see after his death, as the believers will be under the shade of their Sadaqah…

Uqbah bin Aamir رضي الله عنه said that the Messenger of Allaah ﷺ said:
❝Every person will be under the shade of his Sadaqah (charity) till the Judgment has been settled among the people.❞
[Musnad of Imaam Ahmad (17333), Saheeh Ibn Hibbaan (3310) and al-Haakim in his Mustadrak (1517) and Saheeh Ibn Khuzaimah (2431) and Shaikh al-Albaanee commented on Ibn Khuzaimah saying: “It is Saheeh as per the condition of Imaam Muslim” See also Takhreej Mushkilah al-Faqr (118) and Saheeh al-Jaami (4510) and Saheeh al-Targheeb (872) of Shaikh al-Albaanee]

Also the Prophet ﷺ said: ❝Seven people will be shaded by Allaah under His shade on the day when there will be no shade except His. They are: …a person who practices charity so secretly that his left hand does not know what his right hand has given (i.e. nobody knows how much he has given in charity)…❞

Abu Maalik al-Asharee رضي الله عنه reported: The Messenger of Allaah (ﷺ) said:
❝ . and prayer is a light❞

❝And prayer is a light❞, meaning: as some say, part of the reward of offering al-Salaah is that Allaah تعالى will provide that person with light on the Day of Judgment, and it can also be a light for him in this world and brightness on his face, in opposition to those who do not pray.

And some say: It is a light which stops a person from committing sins, and prevents him from al-Fahshaa’ (i.e., unlawful sexual intercourse, immorality etc.) and al-Munkar (i.e., disbelief, polytheism, and every kind of evil wicked deed, etc.), and guides him towards the right path.

Al-Salaah is indeed a light in the hearts of the obedient salves of Allaah, and on their faces, in their graves, and on the Day of Judgment.
[Source: الدرر السنية]



Shaikh Ibn al-Uthaymeen رحمه الله said:
❝Similarly, it will be light for the individual in his heart. It opens for the servant the door to knowing Allaah سبحانه وتعالى, the door of understanding Allaah’s rulings, His actions, Names and
Attributes. It is also light in the grave of the individual. All this for the fact that the Prayer is the pillar of Islaam; and when the pillar is established, the building stands firm, and when the pillar does not stand firm then there is no building.

Likewise, it will be light during his resurrection on the Day of Judgment as the Messenger ﷺ mentioned that: ❝Whoever preserves it, it shall be a light, proof and salvation for him on the Day of Resurrection. Whoever does not preserve it, it will neither be light nor proof nor salvation for him on the Day of Resurrection. He will be raised in the company of Firawn, Haamaan, Qaaroon and Ubayyu bin Khalaf!❞
[Musnad Ahmad (6576) and graded as “Dhaeef” by Shaikh al-Albaanee in Dhaeef al-Jaami (2851), Dhaeef al-Targheeb (312), whereas there are others who have authenticated this narration. Shaikh Shuaib al-Arnaa’oot said: it is “Hasan” in his checking of Musnad Ahmad. Shaikh Ahmad Shaakir said: It is “Saheeh”. Al-Haithamee said: “This was reported by Ahmad (in his Musnad), al-Tabaraanee in al-Kabeer and al-Awsat, and the narrators in the narration from (Imaam) Ahmad are all reliable.”]

Therefore, it is a light for the individual in all his conditions necessitating that he should maintain it, work towards it and engage in much of it in order to increase his light, knowledge and Faith.❞

Abu Maalik al-Asharee رضي الله عنه reported: The Messenger of Allaah (ﷺ) said:

❝ . and Sub-haan Allaah (Glory be to Allaah) and al-Hamdu Lillaah (Praise be to Allaah) fill up what is between the heavens and the earth.❞
[Saheeh Muslim (223)]



Notes:
❝Sub-haan Allaah (Glory be to Allaah)❞, meaning: declaring Allaah to be free from all types of imperfections and weaknesses, or anything that has been falsely attributed to Him. And at the same time affirming all the perfect Names and Attributes to Him.

❝Al-Hamdulillaah (الحمد الله – Praise be to Allaah)❞, meaning: affirming that only Allaah alone deserves to be praised and thanked for His favors and blessings.

And these two phrases: “Sub-haan Allaah and Al-Hamdulillaah” together – i.e., the reward for remembering Allaah with these phrases - fill up what is between the heavens and the earth.

[Source: الدرر السنية]



Shaikh Ibn al-Uthaymeen رحمه الله:
And the Prophet’s ﷺ saying: سُبْحَانَ اَللَّهِ وَبِحَمْدِهِ, meaning: I glorify Allaah with the Glorification accompanied with His praises; connecting between Takhliyah (removing) and Tahliyah (adorning/affirming).

Takhliyah, meaning: Declaring Allaah to be free from all types of deficiencies and shortcomings.

Tahliyah, meaning: Affirming for Allaah all the perfect Attributes.

And only through these (two – Takhliyah and Tahliyah) will one be able to affirm perfection for Allaah. Any perfection which is accompanied by any deficiency is not perfection in the true sense. True perfection is when the deficiencies are removed and only perfect (Attributes) are affirmed. This is why these two words have been joined together: سُبْحَانَ اَللَّهِ وَبِحَمْدِهِ. The letter “ب” (Baa) here is for association.

[Sharh Saheeh al-Bukhaaree of Shaikh Ibn al-Uthaymeen (9/570-572/7563) as well as in Sharh Saheeh Muslim (7/575)]



Shaikh Ibn al-`Uthaymeen رحمه الله:
The phrase سُبْحَانَ اَللَّهِ وَبِحَمْدِهِ combines between al-Tanzeeh and al-Tamjeed wal-Thanaa’.

Al-Tanzeeh is in the saying: “سُبْحَانَ اَللَّهِ”, which is to declare Allaah to be free from all imperfections (and weaknesses and everything that is falsely attributed to Him and that does not suit His Majesty such as attributing to Him a son, or trinity etc.)

Al-Tamjeed wal-Thanaa’ is in the saying: “وَبِحَمْدِهِ”, which is praise and affirm all the Beautiful Names and Lofty Attributes of Allaah.
