Sheikh Dr. Sajid Umar

2022-07-08 12:51:38 Today the best day of the year meets the best day of the week! A rare phenomenon that occurs once every 8-10 years, subhanallah!

If rewards are more on a Friday, imagine how much more it becomes when Friday and Arafah combine!

The deeds of Friday and Arafah are many. One of the forgotten deeds is Sadaqah...

Ibn alQayyim (rh) said that giving sadaqah on a Friday is greater in reward than giving sadaqah during the rest of the days of the week, as the day of Jumuah is superior to the rest of the days of the week just as Ramadan is superior to the rest of the months of the year.

He also said that he used to witness his teacher ibn Taymiyyah (ra) leave for the Jumuah prayer carrying whatever he could find in his home to give as sadaqah before the Jumu'ah prayer, even if it was a slice of bread!

So before you head out for Jumuah today, or even if you're Salah is done; drop some sadaqah here please...

I promise to make sure your sadaqah creates an impact. InShaAllah.

2022-07-08 04:15:15 To my brothers and sisters on Hajj without a group or guide. Subhanallah this is such a trial especially since its about failed logistics as opossed to hujjaaj not being ready to be patient.

Whilst it maybe close to impossible to see the sliver lining due to the depth of concerns surrounding every aspect of your hajj, I want you all to know that above all the chaos is your Lord, and that Hajj is truly about realising that 'he who has no one has Allah'!

We truly learnt this from Ibrahim as he was tied in front of fire of unprecedented proportions.

At that time, he had no home, no parents, no tribe, no residence, no citizenship, no support, but he had His Lord and the dua:

حسبي الله ونعم الوكيل...

"Allah is sufficient for me and the best upon whom to depend...".

So everytime you feel defeated, rise up through the constant recitation of:

1. Your Talbiyah (letting Allah know that you have arrived).

2. The dua of Ibrahim, and as such letting Allah know that you only place your trust in Him!

Allah tests those He loves, and the difficulties of this Hajj is a message from Allah to you that Allah loves you! InShaAllah.

I wish you all total forgiveness on Arafah, and you will be inShaAllah, even if you just stand on it for part of the afternoon.

I love you all for the sake of Allah. Your brother,

Sajid Umar

2022-07-07 21:45:45 Question:

Assalamo alykum wa rehmatullahi wa barakatuhu

Is it permissible to do udhyia in the name of a deceased parent l? Or will it be considered a bida’h since it is only obligated on living people?

Answer:

A group of scholars permitted this as a practice due to an acceptable report in the Musnad of Imam Ahmed stating that Ali (ra) used to sacrifice two animals on behalf of the Messenger (saw) after he passed away.

However, since this isn't a practice known to be a norm of the Messenger (saw), it is better for it not to be made a yearly practice specifically on the day of Eid alAdhaa.

And Allah knows best.
