It highlights that the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) considered Sha'ban to be "my month." It explains the spiritual meanings behind the five letters that make up the word "Sha'ban" according to a saint. Fasting abundantly in Sha'ban is encouraged as it was a practice of the Prophet. Muslims are advised to observe fasting in most days of Sha'ban and to recite certain supplications, especially on the 15th day of the month.
The document provides a summary of the first chapter from the book "Kitaabus-Sunnah" by Imaam Aboo Daawood as-Sijistaanee, which has been authenticated by Imaam Muhammad Naasirud-Deen al-Albaanee. The chapter discusses hadiths related to the splitting of religious communities into sects and the Prophet's warning about following desires. It also includes hadiths prohibiting disputation of the Quran and innovations in religion. The document provides context about the author, authentication, translation source and overview of the initial chapters and hadiths discussed.
This document summarizes the fiqh (Islamic jurisprudence) related to dhikr (remembrance of Allah) based on Quranic verses and hadith. It discusses what dhikr is, its importance and benefits as mentioned in the Quran and hadith. It then explains specific dhikr that should be recited in the morning and evening based on Quranic verses. This includes reciting certain supplications, surahs and dua'a a specific number of times. The document provides evidence from hadith to validate why these particular dhikr should be recited and the wisdom behind reciting them a certain number of times.
The document discusses the importance of moderation in worship and avoiding extremes according to teachings from the Hadith and Quran. It provides several examples where the Prophet Muhammad advises moderation in fasting, prayer, and other religious practices. He warns that those who go to extremes in worship risk harming themselves. The Prophet's own practices emphasized balance and doing what was within one's capacity without overburdening oneself.
This document provides guidance on how to perform wudu (minor ablution) according to the Hanafi school of thought. It details the obligatory and recommended acts of wudu, along with rulings on related issues. It emphasizes maintaining wudu at all times due to its spiritual benefits, such as sins being forgiven and the reward of martyrdom for those who pass away while in a state of wudu. The document aims to teach proper wudu in accordance with hadith and fatwas of Islamic scholars.

There are several processes that can cause forgetting, including decay, interference, and cue-dependent forgetting. Decay is the loss of information through non-use. Interference occurs when new information disrupts the recall of older information, and can be proactive or retroactive. Cue-dependent forgetting happens when there are insufficient cues to recall information. Diseases like Alzheimer's and amnesia can also cause memory loss and forgetting.

Additionally, it outlines four behaviors that dry the face and four that increase happiness. The prophet also taught that four things stop sustenance while four others increase it. The document encourages passing on these messages and includes a prayer for a better life.

It notes that media often mistakenly shows an image of the Dome of the Rock when referring to Masjid Al-Aqsa, and that this is part of a Zionist conspiracy to erase the true image of Masjid Al-Aqsa from Muslim memory. It provides images of both structures and urges readers to educate others on the difference and spread the truth.

It seems that current missionary work requires spending a lot of money, preparing a lot of materials, and traveling to far away places, so that it feels like missionary work. But what was the result they brought back? It's just a lot of photos of activities, fun eating, drinking and some playing games. And then we have to do the same thing next year, never ending. The church once mentioned that a certain missionary would go to the field where she used to work before the end of his life. It seemed that if she had not gone, no one would be willing to go. The reason why these missionary work is so difficult is that no one obeys God’s words, and the Bible is not the main content during missionary work, because in the eyes of those who do not obey God’s words, the Bible is just words and cannot be connected with life, so Reading out God's words is boring because it doesn't have any life experience, so it cannot be connected with human life. I will give a few examples in the hope that this situation can be changed. A375

7. But, why Umm Al-Quraa’ in Makkah decides to
use a “fixed 90 mnts”, instead of fixed degree?
Correction:
Umm Al-Quraa’ only uses a fixed 90 mnts between Maghrib and
Isha, NOT between Shubh and Sunrise.
?
Difference between
Shubh & Sunrise
This is understandable, because:
• In Makkah, a relatively constant difference (< 90 mnts)
between Maghrib and Isha.
• Umm Al-Qura’ assumes that all muslims pray Maghrib in the
beginning of the time, not when the end of the time.
The problem comes when the fixed 90 mnts was brought
to the extreme latitude (Oslo, Trondheim), because:
• The difference between Maghrib and Isha is vary
throughout the year.
• The difference is > 2.5 hours!
• It means: setting up a fixed 90 mnts, leads to let
muslims pray Isha before the time comes!
8. It is understandable that Umm Al-Quraa’ does not
fixed 90 mnts between Shubh and Sunrise, because:
• It could lead to pray Shubh before the time comes.
• It also related to the start of fasting, such that the muslims do
not start their fasting earlier (unnecessary burden).
The problem comes when the fixed 90 mnts was brought
to the extreme latitude (Trondheim), because:
• The difference between Shubh and Sunrise is vary
throughout the year.
• The difference is > 2.5 hours!
• It is OK for having Shubh at 90 mnts before Sunrise,
because it is still in Shubh time.
• But, it also means: muslims start their fasting after
Imsha’ (the forbidden-time) comes!
9. Now, we all realize the extremities location of

In turn, this lead us to the awareness of the period division throughout the

11. Normal period vs difficult period…
Now, what Muslim scholars said about the NORMAL period?
• The hadith scholar, Ibn Hajar al-'Asqalani, mentioned in Fath
al-Bari (2/62): "The [primary] texts pertain to common and
normal circumstances and not to what is uncommon."
• In the same book (2/199), he cites Imam Abu al-Fath ibn
Sayed al-Nas al-Ya'mari, "Rulings are contingent upon what is
common and not on what is uncommon."
• The luminary and Hanafi scholar, Ibn 'Abdin, wrote in Rad alMuhtar 'ala al-Dur al-Mukhtar (2/123): " … the general texts
are construed in reference to what is prevalent and common
and not in reference to what is uncommon and unknown.“
• Sheikh Ibn Taymiyah, the Hanbali scholar, mentioned in
Mukhtasar al-Fatawa al-Misriyyah (1/38): "The [prayer] times,
which Jibril (pbuh) taught the Prophet [pbuh], and which the
Prophet [pbuh] taught his community, are those which the
scholars mentioned in their books, and which refer to normal
days.”
Source: fatwa from Dar Al-Ifta Al Misriyyah 08.08.2010
12. Thus, regarding the great Muslim scholars saying about
normal period, we may conclude…
CONCLUSION:
During NORMAL period use the ruling mentioned
in the primary text, i.e.:
•

corresponding astronomical phenomena.
During NORMAL period
Eastern horizon
• Fajr or Subh corresponds to the
first appearance of a white light
that spreads laterally across the
horizon = true dawn (fajr shadiq).
• Sunrise corresponds to the
appearance of the highest point of
the sun's disk on the eastern
horizon.

19. Normal period vs difficult period…
Now, what Muslim scholars said about DIFFICULT period?
• Sheikh Ibn Taymiyah, the Hanbali scholar, mentioned in
Mukhtasar al-Fatawa al-Misriyyah, “There is a different ruling
for the day of which the Prophet said will extend to the length
of one year. Concerning this day, he said, "Estimate [the
timings of prayer].“
• Imam Mohammed Abdou - the former Grand Mufti of Egypt(as cited by his student Sheikh Mohammed Rashid Reda in
Tafseer al-Manar [2/163]) said: “The Prophet [pbuh] specified
prayer times based on the hours that suit countries with
moderate hours and which constitute the greater part of the
world. This was the norm until Islam reached those countries
where day and night is longer than usual. Muslims living in
these countries may estimate prayer times depending on
their independent reasoning and in analogy to the timings
specified by the Prophet [pbuh] in the hadith of al-Dajjal. The
same applies to fasting.”
Source: fatwa from Dar Al-Ifta Al Misriyyah 08.08.2010
20. So, what are the Muslim scholars opinions about
the estimated time during DIFFICULT period?
• One opinion stated that the times for starting and
ending a fast (and prayers) must be estimated based
on the timings of the cities with moderate hours
where religious rulings were prescribed (i.e. Mecca
and Medina).
• Another opinion stated that the times for starting
and ending a fast (and prayers) should be estimated
according to the timings of the nearest country with
moderate hours.
– This is problematic to be applied…
Source: fatwa from Dar Al-Ifta Al Misriyyah 08.08.2010
21. Therefore…
Sheikh Gad al-Haq, the former Grand Imam of al-Azhar, said:
“I call upon Muslims living in Norway and other countries with similar circumstances to fast the same number of hours as Muslims in Mecca or Medina.”
Modern scholars who has the same opinion, include:
1. Sheikh Mohammed Abdou, the first to hold the office of Grand Mufti of Egypt. He
favored this opinion which he derived from juristic opinions on this issue as
mentioned earlier. This is likewise the opinion that was implemented later by Dar
al-Ifta al-Misriyyah.
2. Sheikh Gad al-Haq Ali Gad al-Haq (in fatwa no. 214 for the year 1981 CE).
3. Sheikh Abdul Latif Hamza (in fatwa no. 160 for the year 1984 CE).
4. Dr. Mohammed Sayed Tantawi (in fatwa no. 171 for the year 1993 CE and in fatwa
no. 579 for the year 1995 CE).
5. Dr. Nasr Farid Wasil (in fatwa no. 438 for the year 1998).
6. Dr. Ali Goma Mohammed, the current Grand Mufti of Egypt.
7. Dr. Mohammed al-Ahmadi abu al-Nur, former Minister of Endowments and
member of the Islamic Research Academy, in the fatwa issued on 24 April 1983 CE
