Sunnah - The practices of the Holy Prophet (SWS)

We are starting a separate listing of some of the well known and not so well known Sunnah (practices of the Holy Prophet Muhammad [SWS]) in a heading called 'Sunnah Practices' for people who would like to take the blessing and benefit of practicing these valuable, and much over looked, practices in these modern times.

The first one was emailed by Baji Shenaz, via Syed Khalid Hussain, about the order of cutting nails.

Sheikh Nazim recommends to cut nails on Monday & Thursdays and preferably before sunset. The clippings should also be buried in the earth for the best benefit.

If you know of any Sunnah, from both strong and weaker Hadith, which you think will benefit others please leave a comment below.

Sufi Meditation (Zikr) - Thursday - 18 December 2008

Mashallah, Mashallah, Mashallah! Alhamdulillah it was such a good feeling to see and with old friends, Haji Uncle Saeed (who also came back from Hajj recently) and especially brother Aslam and sister Shenaz - who support this Zikr gathering every week. Thank you to all the brothers from East London who came to attend especially for this evening's Zikr.

Thank you to everyone who attended tonight. It was nice to speak to brother Ali, from Turkey, who found us from Meetup.com and it was his first Zikr in London. There was a quite a gathering tonight (see photos) with special un-announced guest Sidi Abdullah Trevathan (of the Retreat Series shown on BBC 2 and of the Qadiri Bushishi Tariqa) who blessed us with his presence.
Sheikh Mikail lead a heartfelt, deep and immersive connecting Zikr tonight with the blessings of our Sheikh, Sheikh Nazim Al-Haqqani. Very hard to translate the feeling - you have to attend to experience it. It was also very nice to see and hear sheikh Jaffar's dua, who normally attends the Zikr at St.Anne's, Sheikh Nazim's Dergah in Seven Sisters.

Apologies for the two guests that came in earlier, as sister Hina arrived, but left shortly after the prayers were completed. I am sorry no one explained to you the proceedings and schedule. We need to arrange some sort message for visitors to inform of them of the programme of events in the evening which they can read and not think we are being rude by not speaking whilst praying.
If anyone sees anyone new or unfamiliar at the Zikr, please, please make them feel welcome and explain to them the schedule of events for the evening. They are generally, prayer first, then Zikr and ending with food. Pretty simple really people, so don't be shy!

Sister Shenaz has suggested to make the Zikr available via webcam so we are investigating this for next week inshallah. We will need help from Uncle Amjud inshallah.

Of course, not forgetting Auntie Farida (Mashallah, who came back from Hajj - Jazakhallah for all your prayers Auntie for everyone), Rahil and family for providing all the food and cake - it was, as usual, great chicken curry with rice and delicious cake (not as good as Yamin's Paul of course!).
Inshallah, we will see everyone for a special, special Zikr on Christmas Day evening and celebrate and give thanks for a very timely Zikr on such a remembered day.

BTW, salaams to everyone who couldn't attend or was travelling (brother Galib-we missed you tonight - especially Mother!) and hope brother Yamin gets better soon. Yamin, you need looking after Yamin!

Sufi Zikr Meditation - Thursday - 11 December 2008

Thank you to everyone that attended tonight and it was very nice to see both familiar and new faces. It was a cold 4 degrees this evening but we still had a very good turn out so thank you to everyone for making a special effort because you could've stayed in doors watching the telly!

Alhamdulillah, the Zikr was very rewarding and intense in parts and we all benefited from the blessings of brother Nadeem leading the Zikr and Abdul Hakim making the journey from south London. The short naats at the end are always sweet by brother Nadeem.

We hope both Bashir and Jennifer enjoyed their first Sufi Zikr Meditation session and appreciate any comments you have by clicking comments below. Everyone that visited the first time today we didn't get a chance to speak to is also welcome any Thursday evening.

Jazakhallah to brother Rahil for the delicious food (also brother Yamin for dishing out the food and his 'consultancy' eloquence too) and we missed brothers Galib & Omar who didn't make it today due to travelling and probably working late.

Inshallah, we shall see both brother Aslam and baji Shenaz next week as they should be touching down this week.

Salaams and see you all next week.

Dhul Hijjah - First 10 Days - 1st Dhul Hijja 29 November 2008

DHUL HIJJA: A SACRED MONTH

Imam Ghazali (KS) said in Ihya' `Ulum al-Din: "Fasting is definitely desirable in certain meritorious days, some of them being found in every year, others in every month, and others in every week. Those that are found in every year after the days of Ramadan are:

the Day of `Arafa [= 9th of Dhul Hijja]
the Day of `Ashura' [= 10th of Muharram]
the first Ten Days of Dhu al-Hijja
the first ten days of Muharram

And all the sacred months are preferred for fasting... and they are:

Dhu al-Qi`da, Dhu al-Hijja, Muharram, and Rajab."

FIRST TEN DAYS AND NIGHTS OF DHUL HIJJA

`Abd Allah ibn Mas`ud (RA) said: The Prophet (SWS) said: "There are no days in the year in which deeds are more meritorious than in the Ten Days [i.e. the first ten days of Dhu al-Hijja]."

Someone asked: "Not even Jihad in the path of Allah?" He replied: "Not even Jihad in the path of Allah." Haythami said: "Tabarani narrated it in al-Mu`jam al-kabir and the narrators in its chain of transmission are all those of sound (Sahih) narrations.

The nights are included in the mention of the days. Allah swore an oath by them when He said: "By the Dawn! By Ten Nights!" (89:1-2) and the authors of Tafsir al-Jalalayn said: "They are the first ten nights of Dhul Hijja."

`EID AL-ADHA (FEAST OF SACRIFICE)

The `Eid prayer is a Sunna Mu'akkada or confirmed Sunna and is recommended to be prayed in congregation. It is wajib (obligatory) in the Hanafi madhhab and therefore required of every person who is required to perform Jum`a, i.e. healthy male residents of the region in which it is performed.

It is highly recommended and Sunna on Eid to listen to both of the Khutbahs given by the Imam on the day of Eid because your Eid prayer will not be completed without you listening to them.

It is a Sunna Mu'akkada and, in the Hanafi Madhhab, a wajib, for every adult Muslim man and woman to sacrifice at least one shat -- a sheep or a goat -- for `Eid al-Adha. This may be done any time after the prayer on the first day of `Eid until sunset on the last of the two days following the first day. One may have someone else perform the sacrifice on his behalf, whether in his presence or in absence.

It is recommended not to eat anything on the day of `Eid al-Adha until one perform the Prayer.

It is recommended to perform Ghusl (major ablution) before the prayer, any time after Fajr even if one does not attend the prayer.

It is recommended for men to dress their best and wear perfume. It is Sunna to come to the mosque early and on foot, and to return home by a different route. It is preferable for a `Eid Congregation to pray outdoors.

Sufi Meditation (Zikr) - Thursday - 27 November 2008

Jazakhallah to everyone that attended this evening. Without you all the Zikr would not be the same so may Allah Almighty bless and reward you here and hereafter.

Alhamdulillah, we had sheikh Abdul Hakim visit us from South London and lead the Zikr this evening and we were treated to a Holy resonating Zikr. It was pleasurable to start with Salawat so Jazakhallah for that old time addition.

We welcomed brother Suhail, his first time in a Zikr association, who drove from Hertfordshire and look forward to seeing him again. Thank you to also sister Gulnaz who attended before and hope you found the Zikr beneficial. Jazakhallah to everyone that manage to attend regularly.

Jazakhallah to uncle Amjudgul for his lovely rice, chicken and bean curry and the delicious chocolate chip brownies were made by sister Sarah Chowdury (amended). Mashallah the group is always spoiled with both brother Rahil's and Yamin's generosity with either outstanding cooking from Rahil and Auntie Farida or Yamin's 'baker' treats of deserts, so jazakhallah to you both and may Allah Almighty reward you all here and herafter.

Inshallah, sheikh Nadeem will be back next week and we prayed for his father's health and full recovery. Inshallah sheikh Mikhail may even come so we can hear a rhythmical 'duff' inspired Zikr with maybe a little 'Hadra' thrown in! Are you up for that?

Inshallah, keep well, safe and see you all next week.

Prayers for All - Prayers for Hard Times

You may find this message a timely reminder for us all.
=====================================
Prayer for All

Allah Almighty always has three replies to our Dua/Prayers

1) 'Yes'
2) 'Yes, but not now'
3) 'I have a better plan for you'

There's never a 'NO'....just have faith and keep praying.
This is an awesome prayer .

Believe it and you shall be blessed even more.

The problem with many of us is that we don't believe that God will open a window and pour out blessings that we won't have room to receive them. I dare anyone to try God. He is true to His word. God does not lie and His promises are sure. Three things will happen to you this coming week, Insha'Allah:

(1) You will find favour with someone you don't expect;
(2) You will be too relevant to be ignored;
(3) You will encounter God and you will never remain the same again.

Prayer for you today:

The eyes beholding this message shall not behold evil, the hands that send this message to others shall not labor in vain, the mouth saying 'Ameen' to this prayer shall know laughter. Remain in God's love as you send this prayer to everybody on your list. Have a lovely journey of life! Trust in Allah with all your heart and He will never fail you because He is the Greatest, Most Generous, Most Merciful.

If you truly need a blessing, continue reading this email:

Allah Huma Salle Ala Muhammdin Wa-Ale Alihi Wa Sahibihi Wa Sal-lam (SWS)

Ya Allah, most Gracious and Loving God, I pray to You that You abundantly bless my family and me. I know that you recognize, that a family is more than just a mother, father, sister, brother, husband and wife, but all who believe and trust in you. Oh Allah, I send up a prayer request for Your blessings not only on the person who sent this message to me, but for all those whom I have forwarded this message on to and myself. I am also aware that the power of joint prayers by those who believe and trust in You is more powerful than anything. I thank you always for Your blessings.

Almighty Allah, deliver the person reading this right now from sickness both from spiritual and physical being, oppression, from wickedness and any evil plotted against them, anxiety, debt and debt's burdens. Release Your Godly wisdom that we may be good stewards over all that You have given us Ya Allah, for I know how wonderful and Almighty You are.

Ya Rabbul Alameen, I am also fully conscious of the fact that if we just obey You and walk in Your way, that You have shown to us, you will pour out your endless blessings on us. I thank you now Allah for the recent blessings I have received and for the blessings yet to come because I know you have not closed your favours to me. In your name I pray,

Innaka Alaa Kulle Shay-in Kadeer. Ameen .

Take 60 Seconds and send this on quickly and within hours, you will have caused a multitude of people to pray to God for each other. Then sit back and watch the power of Allah work in your life for doing the thing that you know He loves.

May Allah bless the person and whoever forwards this message. AMEEN

As Salaam Alaikum to All

Thank you to all that attended and it was nice to be surprised to see Sheikh Mikhail again after so long.

Sheikh Mikhail lead the Zikr this evening and it was as beautiful as we remember it from the Friday Zikrs he used to hold at Sheikh Nazim's Dergah, St.Anne's Priory in Seven Sisters. Sheikh Mikhail is also a well known Shiatsu Master and lives nearby in St.John's Wood so hopefully we will see him more often.

Thank you also to brother Erdeshir who attended his first Zikr from the Sufi Meetup group and Omar who also invited his brother along.

Jazakhallah also to auntie and Yamin organising the food - everyone agreed it was delicious!

Inshallah hope to see everyone again next week.

Sufi Zikr

What is Zikr (Dhikr - Zikrullah)? and Why We Should All Do More Zikr

Mention of Zikr in the Holy Qur'an

Zikr is mentioned in many places in the Holy Qur'an, and in most verses, what was meant by the word Zikr is tasbih, glorifying; takbir, exalting; tahmid, praising; and praising and praying upon the Prophet (s).

Allah said in Surat al-Baqara, 152: "Remember Me and I will remember you." [2:152]

He said in Surat al-Imran, 41, "...and remember your Lord much and glorify Him in the evening and in the early morning." And again, 191, "Those who remember Allah while standing, sitting, and lying on their sides..." [3:41, 191]

He said in Surat al-Rad, 28, "Those who believe, and whose hearts find their rest in the remembrance of Allah--for, verily, in the remembrance of Allah hearts do find their rest." [13:28]

And He said in Surat al-AhZab, 35, "...and men who remember Allah much and women who remember Him..." And again, 41,42, "O you who believe! Remember Allah with much remembrance; and glorify Him morning and evening." [33: 35, 41-42]

There are many, many other verses of Qur'an mentioning Zikr. Imam Nawawi said in his book, "Futahat ar-Rabbani ala-l- Adhkar an-Nawawiyya," vol. 1, p. 106-109, "All scholars of Islam have agreed on the acceptance and permissibility of Zikr by heart and by tongue, for the adult men and women, for children, for the one who has ablution, and for the one without ablution; even for the woman during her menses. Moreover, Zikr is allowed by all scholars in the form of tasbih, tahmid, takbir and praising and praying for the Prophet (SWS)."

According to Bukhari, Abu Musa al-Ashcari related that the Prophet (SWS) said, "The difference between the one who makes Zikr and the one who doesn't make dhikr is like the difference between the living and the dead."

Tirmidhi narrated from Anas (r) that the Prophet (SWS) said, "If you pass by the Paradises of Heavens stay there." They asked, "Ya Rasul-Allah, what are the Paradises of Heavens?" He said, "The associations of Zikr!"

Bukhari narrated in his book from Abu Huraira that the Prophet (SWS) said, "Allah, Almighty and Exalted, has angels who seek the people of Zikr. If they find the people of Zikr they encompass them until they reach the first heaven. And Allah asks his angels, 'What are my servants doing?' The angels say, 'O Allah, they are praising You and glorifying You and they are making Zikr.' Allah says, 'Did they see Me?' The angels answer, 'No, they didn't see You.' Then Allah asks, 'How would it be if they were to see Me?' The angels reply, 'O Allah, if they were to see You, they would be making more praise of You and more glorification of You and more Zikr of You.' And Allah asks 'What are they asking for?' The angels say, 'They are asking for Your Paradise.' Allah asks, 'Did they see My Paradise?' The angels answer, 'No, Our Lord.' Allah continues, 'How would it be if they saw My Paradise?' The angels reply, 'They would be more attracted and more eager to reach it.' Then Allah asks them, 'Of what are they afraid?' And the angels say, 'They are afraid of hellfire.' and Allah asks, 'How would it be if they saw my Hellfire?' and they reply, 'They would be running more and more away from it and asking more and more protection from it.' Then Allah said,' I am making you all My witnesses: that I am forgiving them of all their sins.' Then one angel asked, 'O our Lord, there is among these people one who is not from them, he came only to ask for something from one of them.' Allah said, 'Those are my beloved ones who are making My Zikr. Anyone who comes into their circle will be forgiven, and I am forgiving him.'"

In Bukhari and Muslim it is narrated from Abu Huraira (r) that the Prophet (SWS) said, "As my servant thinks about Me so will I be for him. I am with him if he will remember Me. If he calls on Me in himself I will call him in Myself, and if he calls on Me in a group of people, I mention him in a better group in My presence. If he approaches Me one handspan, I will approach him one arm's length; if he approaches Me one arm's length, I will approach him by a cubit; if he comes to Me walking, I will come to him running."

Tirmidhi and Ibn Majah narrated on the authority of Abi Darda that the Prophet (SWS) said, "Do you want me to tell you of your best deeds, and the most honored and praised and sanctified to Your Lord, and the highest in its reward; better than spending gold and better than meeting your enemy and cutting their necks in the jihad?" They said, "Yes, Ya Rasulallah." He said, "Zikrullah."

The Prophet (SWS) said, "Everything has its polish and the polish of hearts is Zikrullah."

Mu'adh bin Jabal (r) said, "Nothing saves you from Allah's punishment except Zikrullah."

There are many, many other hadith about the benefits and blessings of Zikr such that it is impossible to quote all of them here.

From the Sayings of Imams and Scholars about Zikr

Ibn Abbas (r) said "Allah, Almighty and Exalted, put a limit on all the obligations that He ordered human beings except for Zikr. For it there is no limit."

Ibn Qayyim al-Jawziyya said in his book, Al-Wabil as-Sa'ib, p. 52, "There is no doubt that the heart oxidizes, just as copper and silver oxidize. Its polishing is the Zikr, which will make it like a white mirror. The oxidation of the heart is due to heedlessness and sin. Its polishing is by means of two actions: repentance and Zikr. If someone's heart is cloudy, the reflections of images will be unclear, he will see falsehood as truth and truth in the image of falsehood (batil). When there is too much oxidization on the heart, the heart will be darkened, and in the darkness the images of the Truth and Reality never appear. The best way to polish it is through Zikrullah."

Ibn Ata'illah as-Sakandari said, "By Zikr you leave behind heedlessness and forgetfulness, and you keep your heart Present with Allah, Almighty and Exalted. The best way to approach His Presence is by reciting the name 'Allah,' in the heart or on the tongue, or by reciting any of His Names." [Miftah al-Falah, p. 4]

Abul Qasim al-Qushayri said, "Zikr is the strongest support in the way of Allah, 'Azza wa Jall. No one can reach the Divine Presence except by continuing to recite Zikr." [Risalat al-Qushayriyya]

Mulay al-Arabi ad-Darqawi said, "Do not say, 'I am nothing'; neither say, 'I am something.' Do not say: 'I need such and such a thing'; nor yet: 'I need nothing.' But say: 'Allah,' and you will see marvels." [Letters of a Sufi Master]

We see from what has been mentioned that all guides and perfect sheikhs advised the seeker in the Way of Allah to make continuous Zikr in all states of their lives and to keep the company of the people in associations of Zikr. We see that the Holy Qur'an and the Sunnah of the Prophet (SWS) and the scholars are all in accordance on this matter.

The Types of Zikr

Zikr can be can be done both silently or aloud. The Prophet (SWS) encouraged people to do both kinds. Among the scholars of Shari'ah and the Sufi Sheikhs, some preferred the loud Zikr and some preferred the silent Zikr.

Loud Zikr

Bukhari narrated that Abu Huraira (r) reported that the Prophet (SWS) said, "If My servant mentions Me in himself, I will mention him in Myself. If he mentions Me in a group, I will mention him in a group in My presence." We understand from this hadith that to mention Allah in a group indicates loud Zikr. Some scholars determined from this that using loud Zikr is permitted.

Bukhari narrated in his book of hadith, that Ibn 'Abbas (r) said, "In the time of the Prophet (SWS) the people used to raise their voices in Zikr."

Bukhari narrated in his book of hadith, that Abu Ma'bad (r), the freed slave of Ibn 'Abbas (r), said: "Ibn 'Abbas told me, 'In the lifetime of the Prophet (SWS), it was the custom to celebrate Allah's praises aloud after the obligatory congregational prayers.'" Ibn 'Abbas (r) continued, "When I heard the Zikr, I would know that the congregational prayer had ended."

Imam Ahmad, Abu Dawud and Tirmidhi related that as-Sa'ib (r) preported that the Prophet (SWS) said, "Jibril came to me and ordered me to order my Companions to raise their voices in takbir."

It is narrated by Bukhari and Muslim and mentioned by Jalaluddin as-Suyuti, from other collections, that 'Ali bin Abi Talib (r) said, "I asked the Prophet (SWS) one time, 'O Messenger of Allah, guide me to the shortest way to Allah's Presence, and the easiest way to worship, and the best way for Allah, Almighty and Exalted. The Prophet (SWS) said, 'O 'Ali, you have to be continuously making Zikrullah, silently and aloud.' I replied, 'O Prophet (SWS), all human beings are making Zikr. Give me something special.' The Prophet (s) said, 'O 'Ali, the best of what I, and all prophets before me, said is, La ilaha illAllah. If all the heavens and earth were placed on one side of the balance and La ilaha illAllah were placed in the other, La ilaha illAllah would be heavier. Judgment Day will never come as long as there are people on this earth saying La ilaha illAllah.' Then I said, 'How should I recite.' The Prophet (SWS) said, 'Close your eyes and listen to me reciting La ilaha ill-Allah three times. Then you say it three times and I will listen to you.' Then the Prophet (SWS) said it and I repeated it in a loud voice."

In the narration of Imam Ahmad and Tabarani this hadith is continued, describing how the Prophet taught his Companions the Zikr. "'Ibada bin Samit said that the Prophet (SWS) said, 'Is there any stranger among you?' And we said, 'No, Ya Rasul-Allah.' He said, 'Close the door.' Then he said, 'Raise your hand and repeat after me La ilaha illAllah' We raised our hand and said, La ilaha illAllah. Then the Prophet (SWS) said, 'Praise be to Allah that He sent me to this world with this Kalimah, and He ordered me with it, and He promised me the Paradise with it, and He never changes His Promise.' Then the Prophet (SWS) said, 'Be happy! Allah has forgiven you.'"

Jalaladin as-Suyuti mentioned in an article called "Natijat al-Fikr fi Jahri-dh-Dhikr," the Benefits of Loud Zikr, twenty-five authentic hadiths which mention doing loud Zikr.

Silent Zikr

Allah mentioned in Surat al-Araf, 205, "And remember thy Lord in thy self with humility and fear, and without loudness of speech, in the mornings and evenings; and be not of the neglectful." [7:205]

Imam Ahmad narrated, "Abu Huraira reported that the Prophet (s) said that Allah says, 'I am with my servant when he remembers Me and by his remembrance of Me his lips move." Commenting on this hadith, Imam Nawawi said, "Allah is with the one who remembers Him and calls Him in his heart, and calls Him on his tongue, but we must realize that the Zikr of the heart is more perfect. The rememberer made Zikr of the tongue in order to reflect the occurrence of the Zikr in his heart. When the love of Allah and His Remembrance overwhelms the heart and the spirit, the tongue is moved and the seeker brought near."

Sheikh Amin al-Kurdi said in The Enlightenment of Hearts (Tanwir al-Qulub) p. 522: "The Zikr by tongue, which combines sounds and letters, is not easy to perform at all times, because buying and selling and other such activities altogether divert one's attention from such Zikr. The contrary is true of the Zikr by heart, which is named that way in order to signify its freedom from letters and sounds. In that way nothing distracts one from his Zikr, as the poet says:

With the heart remember Allah, secretly from creation, wordlessly and speechlessly.

That remembrance is best of all: out of it flowed the sayings of the saints.

"That is why our Naqshbandi masters have chosen the Zikr of the heart. Moreover, the heart is the place where the Forgiver casts his gaze, and the seat of belief, and the receptacle of secrets, and the source of lights. If it is sound, the whole body is sound, and if it is unsound, the whole body is unsound, as was made clear for us by the chosen Prophet (SWS).

"Something that confirms this was narrated on the authority of A'isha (r): 'Allah favors Zikr above Zikr seventy fold (meaning, silent Zikr over loud Zikr).

On the Day of Resurrection, God will bring back human beings to His account, and the Recording Angels will bring what they have recorded and written, and Allah Almighty will say: See if something that belongs to my servant was left out? The angels will say: We left nothing out concerning what we have learnt and recorded, except that we have assessed it and written it. Allah will say: O my servant, I have something good of yours for which I alone will reward you, it is your hidden remembrance of Me.' Bayhaqi narrated it.

"Also on the authority of A'isha (r): 'The Zikr not heard by the Recording Angels equals seventy times the one they hear.' Bayhaqi narrates it."
