{Islamic Mailing Group} Entering & Exiting I'tikaaf.

I want to observe i'tikaaf during the last ten days of Ramadaan. I would like to know when I should enter the mosque and when I should exit therefrom.

Praise be to Allaah.  

Firstly: 

With regard to entering the place of i'tikaaf, the majority of scholars (including the four imams Abu Haneefah, Maalik, al-Shaafa'i and Ahmad, may Allaah have mercy on them) are of the view that the one who wants to observe i'tikaaf during the last ten days of Ramadaan should enter his place of i'tikaaf before the sun sets on the night of the twenty-first. They quoted several texts as evidence, including the following: 

1 – It was proven that the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) used to observe i'tikaaf during the last ten nights of Ramadaan, Agreed upon. This indicates that the period of i'tikaaf is counted by the nights, not the days. And Allaah says (interpretation of the meaning): 

"And by the ten nights"

[al-Fajr 89:2] 

The last ten nights start with the twenty-first. 

Based on this, he should enter the mosque before the sun sets on the night of the twenty-first. 

2 – They (the scholars) said that one of the greatest aims of i'tikaaf is to seek Laylat al-Qadr, and the night of the twenty-first is one of the odd-numbered nights in the last ten nights of Ramadaan, so it may possibly be Laylat al-Qadr, so he should be observing i'tikaaf on that night. This was stated by al-Sindi in Haashiyat al-Nasaa'i. 

See al-Mughni, 4/489. 

But al-Bukhaari (2041) and Muslim (1173) narrated that 'Aa'ishah said: When the Messenger of Allaah (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) wanted to observe i'tikaaf, he would pray Fajr then enter his place of i'tikaaf. 

Because of the apparent meaning of this hadeeth, some of the salaf were of the view that he would enter his place of i'tikaaf after Fajr prayer. This view was followed by the scholars of the Standing Committee (10/114) and Shaykh Ibn Baaz (15/442). 

But the majority of scholars responded to this hadeeth in one of two ways: 

(1)   That the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) had started i'tikaaf before the sun set, but he did not enter the place for i'tikaaf until after Fajr prayer 

Al-Nawawi said: "When he wanted to observe i'tikaaf, he would pray Fajr then enter his place of i'tikaaf"  - this was quoted as evidence by those who say that i'tikaaf should be started at the beginning of the day. This is the view of al-Awzaa'i and al-Thawri, and of al-Layth in one of his two opinions. Maalik, Abu Haneefah, al-Shaafa'i and Ahmad said: he should enter (i'tikaaf) before the sun sets if he wants to observe i'tikaaf for a month or for ten days. They interpreted the hadeeth as meaning that he entered the place of i'tikaaf in order to be alone there after he prayed Fajr, not that this is the time when he began i'tikaaf; rather he was in i'tikaaf from before Maghrib and stayed in the mosque, and when he had prayed Fajr he withdrew to be by himself. 

(2)   al-Qaadi Abu Ya'la, one of the Hanbalis, responded by interpreting the hadeeth as meaning that he (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) used to do that on the twentieth. Al-Sindi said: This response is more likely to be correct.  

Shaykh Ibn 'Uthaymeen was asked in Fataawa al-Siyaam (p. 501): When does i'tikaaf begin? 

He replied: 

The majority of scholars are of the view that i'tikaaf should begin on the night of the twenty first, not from Fajr of the twenty-first, although some of the scholars are of the view that i'tikaaf should begin from Fajr of the twenty-first, based on the hadeeth of 'Aa'ishah (may Allaah be pleased with her) that was narrated by al-Bukhaari: "When he had prayed Fajr he entered his place of i'tikaaf". But the majority of scholars responded by stating that the Messenger (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) withdrew from people in the morning, but the intention to observe i'tikaaf was formed at the beginning of the night, because the last ten nights start when the sun sets on the twentieth.  

He also said (p. 503): 

Entering the place of i'tikaaf for the last ten nights of Ramadaan may be done when the sun sets on the night of the twenty-first, because that is the time when the last ten nights begin. This is not contradicted by the hadeeth of 'Aa'ishah because the wording is different, so it should be understood according to what the language indicates. This is what was narrated by al-Bukhaari (2041) from 'Aa'ishah (may Allaah be pleased with her) who said: The Messenger of Allaah (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) observed i'tikaaf every Ramadaan and when he had prayed Fajr he would enter the place where he observed i'tikaaf. 

Her words "and when he had prayed Fajr he would enter the place where he observed i'tikaaf" indicate that he was already staying in the mosque, meaning that he was in the mosque before he entered he place of i'tikaaf. 

Secondly: 

With regard to coming out of i'tikaaf: 

He should come out when the sun sets on the last day of Ramadaan. 

Shaykh Ibn 'Uthaymeen was asked: When should a person come out of i'tikaaf? Is it after the sun sets on the night of Eid or after Fajr on the day of Eid? 

He replied: 

He should come out of i'tikaaf when Ramadaan ends. Ramadaan ends when the sun sets on the night of Eid. Fataawa al-Siyaam, p. 502. 

It says in Fataawa al-Lajnah al-Daa'imah, 10/441. 

The period of i'tikaaf during the (last) ten nights of Ramadaan ends when the sun sets on the last day of the month. 

If he chooses to stay until he has prayed Fajr and then depart from his place of i'tikaaf to the Eid prayer, there is nothing wrong with that. Some of the scholars regarded that as mustahabb. 

Imam Maalik (may Allaah be pleased with him) said that he saw that some of the scholars who had observed i'tikaaf during the last ten nights of Ramadaan did not go back to their families until they had attended the (prayer of Eid) al-Fitr with the people. Maalik said: I heard that from the righteous people who have passed on, and this is the dearest to me of what I have heard about that. 

Al-Nawawi said in al-Majmoo' (6/323): 

Al-Shaafa'i and his companions said: Whoever would like to follow the example of the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) in observing i'tikaaf during the last ten nights of Ramadaan should enter the mosque before the sun sets on the night of the twenty-first, so that he will not miss any of it, and he should come out after the sun sets on the night of Eid, whether the month is twenty-nine days or thirty. It is better for him to stay in the mosque on the night of Eid so that he can offer the Eid prayer there, or go out to the Eid prayer-place if they pray Eid there. 

If he goes directly from i'tikaaf to the Eid prayer, it is mustahabb for him to do ghusl and make himself look good before going out, because this is one of the Sunnahs of Eid. For more information please see question no. 36442.

{Islamic Mailing Group} I'tikaaf in Islamic centres?

Is it permissible to observe i'tikaaf in musallas or Islamic centres (in which the five daily prayers and Jumu'ah prayer are offered), or is it permissible only in masjids? May Allaah reward you with good.

Praise be to Allaah.

It is only valid to observe i'tikaaf in masjids, because Allaah says (interpretation of the meaning): "And do not have sexual relations with them (your wives) while you are in I'tikaaf (i.e. confining oneself in a mosque for prayers and invocations leaving the worldly activities) in the mosques" [al-Baqarah 2:187]. 

Al-Haafiz Ibn Hajar (may Allaah have mercy on him) said: 

The evidence in this verse indicates that if it (i'tikaaf) were valid in places other than the mosque, the prohibition on intimacy with one's wife would not be singled out for prohibition there because intercourse is contrary to i'tikaaf according to scholarly consensus. So it is known, from mention of the mosques, that what is meant is that i'tikaaf can only be in the mosques. Ibn al-Mundhir narrated that there was scholarly consensus that what is meant by "sexual relations" in this verse is intercourse. Al-Tabari and others narrated via Qataadah that the reason for revelation of this verse was that if they were in i'tikaaf, and a man went for some need and met his wife, he had intercourse with her if he wanted, so this verse was revealed. End quote. 

Ibn Qudaamah (may Allaah have mercy on him) said in al-Mughni (3/65): 

I'tikaaf is not permissible except in a mosque in which prayers in congregation are held. 

I'tikaaf is not valid anywhere except in a mosque if the person observing i'tikaaf is a man. We do not know of any difference of opinion among the scholars concerning this. The basic principle concerning that is the words of Allaah (interpretation of the meaning): "And do not have sexual relations with them (your wives) while you are in I'tikaaf (i.e. confining oneself in a mosque for prayers and invocations leaving the worldly activities) in the mosques" [al-Baqarah 2:187]. End quote. 

Al-Nawawi said in al-Majmoo' (6/505): 

I'tikaaf on the part of a man or of a woman is not valid anywhere except in the mosque. It is not valid in the prayer-place of a woman's house or the prayer-place of a man's house, which is a separate area set aside for prayer. End quote. 

Shaykh Ibn 'Uthaymeen (may Allaah have mercy on him) said: 

Shar'i i'tikaaf must be in the mosques, because Allaah says (interpretation of the meaning): (interpretation of the meaning): "… while you are in I'tikaaf (i.e. confining oneself in a mosque for prayers and invocations leaving the worldly activities) in the mosques" [al-Baqarah 2:187]. 

End quote from Fataawa Noor 'ala al-Darb (8/176) 

See also the answer to question no. 48985 

Based on this, i'tikaaf in musallas or Islamic centres is not valid. 

And Allaah knows best.

{Islamic Mailing Group} Women observing I'tikaaf at home?

Can a woman observe itikaf at home , what if she has to cook


Praise be to Allaah.  

I'tikaaf is only valid if done in the mosque, because Allaah says (interpretation of the meaning): 

"And do not have sexual relations with them (your wives) while you are in I'tikaaf (i.e. confining oneself in a mosque for prayers and invocations leaving the worldly activities) in the mosques"

[al-Baqarah 2:187] 

Men and women are equal in this regard. 

Ibn Qudaamah said in al-Mughni: 

A woman has the right to observe i'tikaaf in any mosque, and that is not subject to the condition that it be a mosque where prayers are performed in congregation, because that is not obligatory upon her. This was the view of al-Shaafa'i. 

She does not have the right to observe i'tikaaf in her house, because Allaah says "while you are in I'tikaaf (i.e. confining oneself in a mosque for prayers and invocations leaving the worldly activities) in the mosques", and because the wives of the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) asked him for permission to observe i'tikaaf in the mosque, and he gave them permission. 

Al-Nawawi said in al-Majmoo' (6/480): 

It is not correct for a man or a woman to observe i'tikaaf anywhere except in the mosque. 

This is the view favoured by Shaykh Ibn 'Uthaymeen in al-Sharh al-Mumti', 6/513 

And Allaah knows best.

{Islamic Mailing Group} Minimum time for I'tikaaf.

What is the minimum length of time for i'tikaaf ? Is it possible to observe i'tikaaf for a short time or does it have to be for several days?.

Praise be to Allaah.  

The scholars differed as to the minimum length of time for i'tikaaf. 

The majority of scholars are of the view that the minimum length of time is a moment. This is the view of Abu Haneefah and Ahmad. See al-Durr al-Mukhtaar (1/445); al-Majmoo', 6/489; al-Insaaf, 7/566. 

Al-Nawawi said in al-Majmoo', 6/514: 

With regard to the minimum length of time for i'tikaaf, the majority stipulated that it must be observed in the mosque, and that it is permissible to do a lot or a little, even a hour or a moment.  

They quoted several reports as evidence for that: 

1 – That i'tikaaf in Arabic means staying, and the word may be applied to a long period of time or a short one; there is no report in sharee'ah that defines it as being a specific length of time. 

Ibn Hazm said: I'tikaaf in the language of the Arabs means staying… any stay in the mosque for the sake of Allaah with the intention of drawing closer to Him is i'tikaaf… whether that is for a short time or a long time, because the Qur'aan and Sunnah do not specify any number or length of time. Al-Muhalla, 5/179 

2 – Ibn Abi Shaybah narrated that Ya'la ibn Umayyah (may Allaah be pleased with him) said: I will stay in the mosque for an hour, and I am only staying to observe i'tikaaf. Ibn Hazm quoted this as evidence in al-Muhalla (5/179); it was quoted without comment by al-Haafiz in al-Fath. "Hour" here refers to a period of time but it does not mean an hour in the modern sense of sixty minutes. 

Some scholars are of the opinion that the minimum length of i'tikaaf is one day. This was narrated from Abu Haneefah and was the view of some of the Maalikis. Shaykh Ibn Baaz said in Majmoo' al-Fataawa (15/441): 

I'tikaaf means staying in the mosque to worship Allaah, whether that is for a long time or a short time, because as far as I know there is no report to indicate a set time, whether one or two days or more. This is an act of worship which is prescribed in Islam unless one vows to do it, in which case it becomes obligatory. This applies equally to men and women.

{Islamic Mailing Group} I'tikaaf explained.

I would like to know the guidance of the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) with regard to i'tikaaf.


Praise be to Allaah.  

The guidance of the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) with regard to i'tikaaf was the most perfect and moderate of guidance. 

Once he observed i'tikaaf in the first ten days of Ramadaan, then in the middle ten days, seeking Laylat al-Qadr. Then he was told that it is in the last ten days, so then he always observed i'tikaaf during the last ten days, until he met his Lord. 

On one occasion he did not observe i'tikaaf during the last ten days, so he made it up in Shawwaal and observed i'tikaaf during the first ten days thereof. This was narrated by al-Bukhaari and Muslim. In the year in which he died, he observed i'tikaaf for twenty days. Narrated by al-Bukhaari, 2040. 

It was said that the reason for that is that he knew his life was drawing to a close, so he wanted to increase his good deeds, to show his ummah how to strive hard in doing good deeds when the opportunity for doing so drew to close, so that they could meet Allaah in the best way. And it was said that the reason was that Jibreel used to review the Qur'aan with him once each Ramadaan, but in the year in which he died, he reviewed it with him twice, which is why his i'tikaaf was twice as long as usual. 

A more likely reason is that he observed i'tikaaf for twenty days in that year because the year before he had been traveling. This is indicated by the report narrated by al-Nasaa'i and Abu Dawood, and classed as saheeh by Ibn Hibbaan and others, from Ubayy ibn Ka'b who said: The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) used to observe i'tikaaf during the last ten days of Ramadaan, but he travelled one year and did not observe i'tikaaf, so the following year he observed i'tikaaf for twenty days. Fath al-Baari. 

The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) used to order that a kind of tent be pitched for him in the mosque, and he would stay in it, keeping away from people and turning to his Lord, so he could be on his own with his Lord in a true sense of the word. 

On one occasion he observed i'tikaaf in a small tent, and put a reed mat over the door. Narrated by Muslim, 1167. 

Ibn al-Qayyim said in Zaad al-Ma'aad, 2/90: 

All of this to achieve the spirit and purpose of i'tikaaf, and is the opposite of what the ignorant do, whereby the place of i'tikaaf becomes a place of gathering and meeting with people and chatting to them. This is one thing, and i'tikaaf as observed by the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) is something else. 

He used to stay in the mosque the whole time, and not leave it except to relieve himself. 'Aa'ishah (may Allaah be pleased with her) said: "He would not enter his house for anything except for a need when he was observing i'tikaaf." Narrated by al-Bukhaari, 2029; Muslim, 297. According to a report narrated by Muslim: "Except for human needs." Al-Zuhri interpreted this as referring to urination and defecation. 

He (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) made sure he remained clean. He would lean his head out of the mosque into 'Aa'ishah's apartment so that she should wash his head and comb his hair. 

Al-Bukhaari (2028) and Muslim (297) narrated that 'Aa'ishah (may Allaah be pleased with her) said: "The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) used to lean his head towards me when he was observing i'tikaaf in the mosque, and I would comb his hair, when I was menstruating." According to a report also narrated by al-Bukhaari: "And I would wash it." 

Al-Haafiz said: 

This hadeeth indicates that it is permissible to clean oneself, put on perfume, wash oneself, comb one's hair etc (when in i'tikaaf). The majority of scholars are of the view that nothing is makrooh except that which it is makrooh to do in the mosque. 

When he was in i'tikaaf, the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) did not visit the sick or attend funerals. This was so that he could concentrate fully on conversing with Allaah and achieving the purpose of i'tikaaf, which is to cut oneself off from people and turn to Allaah. 

'Aa'ishah said: The Sunnah is for the person in i'tikaaf not to visit the sick or attend funerals, or to be intimate with his wife. But there is nothing wrong with his going out for essential needs. Narrated by Abu Dawood, 2473; classed as saheeh by al-Albaani in Saheeh Abi Dawood. 

"or to be intimate with his wife" means intercourse. This was stated by al-Shawkaani in Nayl al-Awtaar. 

Some of his wives used to visit him when he was in i'tikaaf. When she stood up to leave, he would take her home – that was at night. 

It was narrated from Safiyyah the wife of the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) that she came to the Messenger of Allaah (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) and visited him when he was in i'tikaaf in the mosque, during the last ten days of Ramadaan. She spoke with him for a while, then she stood up to leave. The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) stood up with her to take her home. Narrated by al-Bukhaari, 2035; Muslim, 2175. 

In conclusion, his i'tikaaf was moderate and not harsh. He spent all his time remembering Allaah and turning to Him in worship, seeking Laylat al-Qadr. 

See: Zaad al-Ma'aad by Ibn al-Qayyim, 2/90; al-I'tikaaf Nazrah Tarbawiyyah by Dr 'Abd al-Lateef Balto.

Shaykh Saalih al-Fawzaan said:

Going out for the sake of Allaah does not refer to the kind of going out that they mean nowadays. Going out for the sake of Allaah means going out to fight. What they call going out nowadays is a bid'ah (innovation) that was not narrated from the salaf.

Going out to call people to Allaah cannot be limited to a certain number of days, rather one should call people to Allaah according to one's abilities, without limiting that to a group or to forty days or more or less than that.

Similarly the daa'iyah must have knowledge. It is not permissible for a person to call people to Allaah when he is ignorant. Allaah says (interpretation of the meaning):

"Say (O Muhammad): This is my way; I invite unto Allaah (i.e. to the Oneness of Allaah — Islamic Monotheism) with sure knowledge"

[PF:170010] Life of Prophet : The Battle Of The Trench (part 21)

In the name of Allah, the Most-Merciful, the All-Compassionate
 
"May the Peace and Blessings of Allah be Upon You"
 
Praise be to Allaah, we seek His help and His forgiveness. We seek refuge with Allaah from the evil of our own souls and from our bad deeds. Whomsoever Allaah guides will never be led astray, and whomsoever Allaah leaves astray, no one can guide. I bear witness that there is no god but Allaah, and I bear witness that Muhammad is His slave and Messenger.
 
  
Bismillah Walhamdulillah Was Salaatu Was Salaam 'ala Rasulillah
As-Salaam Alaikum Wa-Rahmatullahi Wa-Barakatuhu
    
Life of Prophet Muhammed (pbuh)
(part 21)
by Jahir Hasan
 
The Battle Of The Trench


When the Prophet (Pbuh) first arrived in Medinah, the Jews who were living there had welcomed him. The Prophet (Pbuh) had returned their greeting, as he wished to be on good terms with them. An agreement was also reached between the Muslims and the Jews, which gave the Jews the freedom to practice their religion and which also set out their rights and their duties. Among these duties was that in the case of war with Quraysh, the Jews would fight on the side of the Muslims.
 
Despite this agreement, however, some of the Jewish tribes, who resented the Prophet's presence in Medinah, soon began to cause trouble amongst the Muslims. They tried to set the Muslim Emigrants from Mecca and the Ansar against each other. The troublemakers were given many warnings but they continued to be a nuisance.
 
In the end, the Muslims had no choice but to drive them from Medinah. A new agreement was offered those Jews who remained but the trouble did not end there.
 
One of the Jewish tribes, the Bani Nadir plotted to murder the Prophet (Pbuh) but their plan was discovered and they, too, were exiled from the city. Knowing that they could not defeat the Muslims themselves, some of the leaders of the exiled Jews secretly went to Mecca to enlist the help of Quraysh. Knowing what the Meccans would like to hear, they pretended to believe in the same things. They said that they thought that the old Arab tradition was better than the teachings of the Prophet Muhammad (Pbuh) and that they believed that the Quraysh religion of worshipping many idols was better than the Prophet's with only one God.
 
Then the Jews told them that if all the Arab tribes attacked Medinah, the Jews inside the city would help to defeat the Prophet (Pbuh) and Islam once and for all.
 
The leaders of Quraysh were pleased to hear all this and seizing on what seemed to them a very good opportunity, agreed to the plan and began to gather together a formidable army.
 
In the meantime in Medinah, only one Jewish tribe, the Bani Quraydhah, refused to betray the Muslims.
 
Eventually the Muslims learned of the preparations being made for war in Mecca and of the plotting of the Jews within Medinah itself. The betrayal of the Muslims by the Jews did not surprise the Prophet (Pbuh), who said of them: 'The hearts of the Jews have become closed to the truth. They have forgotten what Moses taught them long ago that there is only one God.'
 
In the Name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful
"The likeness of those who are entrusted with the Law of Moses, yet apply it not, is as the likeness of the ass carrying books. Evil is the likeness of the people who deny the revelations of Allah.
And Allah guideth not wrongdoing folk".
(Quraan lxii.5)
 
The Muslims wondered how they could defend Medinah. They heard that Abu Sufyan was coming to attack them with an enormous army which included many other Arab tribes, as well as Quraysh. What were they to do with only a single week to prepare?
 
The Prophet (Pbuh) and his men knew that it would be impossible for them to fight off all these tribes! The only thing they could do was to stay inside the city and try to defend it as best they could.
 
Now among the people of Medinah was a Persian named Salman, who had to live in the city some time before the Prophet's arrival there. As a convert to Christianity he had traveled to Medinah after Christian sages had told him that a Prophet would be born in Arabia. On arriving in he was, however, sold into slavery by the merchants with whom he had traveled. Later he became a Muslim, gained his freedom and became a member of the Prophet's household.
 
When the people gathered to discuss a plan of action against the approaching enemy, Salman was present and it was he who suggested that they should dig a trench around the city. The Prophet (Pbuh) thought this a good idea, so the Muslims set to work, although it was in the middle of winter. They worked day and night, digging the trench as quickly as possible.
 
The Prophet (Pbuh) himself carried rocks and when the men were tired he gave them the will to carry on. Someone later recalled how beautiful he looked, dressed in a red cloak with dust upon his chest and his dark hair nearly reaching his shoulders.
 
There was little food at this time and the men were often hungry as they worked. On one occasion, however, a little girl gave some dates to the Prophet (Pbuh), which he spread out on a cloth. The men were then called to eat and the dates kept increasing in number until everyone had been fed. Even after everyone had eaten their fill, the dates continued to increase so that there were more than the cloth could hold.
 
Similarly, there is the story of the lamb, that has come down to us from one who was there: 'We worked with the Apostle at the trench. I had a half-grown lamb and I thought it would be a good thing to cook it for Allah's Messenger. I told my wife to grind barley and make some bread for us. I killed the lamb and we roasted it for the Prophet (Pbuh). When night fell and he was about to leave the trench, I told him we had prepared bread and meat and invited him to our home. I wanted him to come on his own, but when I said this he sent someone to call all the men to come along. Everyone arrived and the food was served. He blessed it and invoked the Name of Allah over it. Then he ate and so did all of the others. As soon as one lot were satisfied, another group came until all the diggers had eaten enough, but still there was food to spare.
 
On March 24, 627 A.D, Abu Sufyan arrived with more than ten thousand men. The Muslims numbered only three thousand. Quraysh and their allies surrounded Medinah but between the two armies was the long, wide trench.
 
The Prophet (pbuh) and his men stayed behind this trench for nearly a month defending the city against their more powerful enemy. Many times warriors tried to cross the trench and enter the city, but each time they were pushed back by the Muslims. The Muslims were afraid that if any did manage to cross over, the Jews inside Medinah would join forces with them and the Muslims would be beaten.
 
The Jewish tribe of Bani Quraydhah, who had stood by the, agreement with the Muslims, were pressed by a Jewish emissary from the enemy without, to break their promise. Eventually they agreed to do so and when the news of this reached the Prophet (pbuh) and his companions they were greatly troubled.
 
Saad ibn Muadh, the leader of the tribe of Aws, was sent by the Prophet (pbuh) with two other men to find out if this were true. When they arrived in the part of Medinah where the Jews lived, they found were even worse than they had previously thought.
 
Saad ibn Muadh, whose tribe was closely allied with the Bani Quraydhah, tried to persuade their leader not to break the treaty with the Muslims, but he refused to listen. This meant that the Muslims could not relax their guard for one moment, for they were now threatened not only by the enemy beyond the trench, but by the Bani Qurayzah, within the walls of the city.
 
Things became more difficult for the Muslims day by day. It was extremely cold and food began to run out. To make matters worse, the Bani Qurayzah began openly and actively to join forces with the other Jews and cut off all supplies to the Muslims, including food. The enemies of Islam then planned how to capture Medinah.
 
The situation looked desperate and the Prophet (pbuh) prayed to Allah to Allah to help the Muslims defeat their enemies. That very night a sandstorm blew up which buried the tents of Quraysh. The storm continued for three days and three nights making it impossible for the enemy to light a fire to cook a meal or warm themselves by.
 
On one of these dark nights the Prophet (pbuh) asked one of his men, Hudhayfah Ibn al-Yaman, to go on a dangerous mission. The Prophet (pbuh) told him to make his way across the trench to the enemy camp where he should find out what they were doing. With much difficulty Hudhayfah crossed the trench and made his way to a circle of Quraysh warriors talking in the darkness. He sat near them, but as there was no fire, no one noticed him. He then heard Abu Sufyan's voice: 'Let us go home!' he said. 'We have had enough. The horses and camels are dying, the tents keep blowing away, most of the equipment has been lost, and we can not cook our food. There is no reason to stay!'
 
Shortly after hearing this Hudhayfah made his way quickly and quietly back across the trench and the next morning the Muslims rejoiced to find that what he had overheard had come true-Quraysh and their allies had gone away! The siege of Medinah had ended in a great victory for Islam.
 
But this was not to be the end of the difficulties, for the Archangel Gabriel the Prophet (pbuh) and told him that he should punish the Bani Qurayzah for betraying him and the Muslims.
 
On hearing this, the Prophet (pbuh) ordered the Muslims to march against the Bani Qurayzah as they hid in their fortress. The Muslims besieged them for twenty-five days until they finally gave in. On surrendering, they asked the Prophet (pbuh) to let someone judge their case, and he agreed. He also allowed them to choose who would give the ruling.
 
The man chosen to judge the Bani Qurayzah was Saad ibn Muadh, leader of the Aws, a tribe which had always protected the Qurayzah in the past. Saad ibn Mu'adh who had himself been wounded in the battle, decided that the Jews should be tried by their own Holy Law, according to which anyone who broke a treaty would be put to death.
 
As a result all the men of the Bani Qurayzah were executed and the women and children made captive. If the Jews had succeeded in their pact, Islam would have been destroyed. Instead from that day on, Medinah became a city where only Muslims lived.
 
Very soon after peace had been restored to Medinah, Saad ibn Muadh died of his wounds. It was said that the Archangel Gabriel came in the middle of that night and said to the Prophet (pbuh) '0 Muhammad, who is this dead man? When he arrived, the doors of heaven opened.' The Prophet (pbuh) got up as soon as he heard this, but found that Saad was already dead.
 
Although he had been a heavy man, the men who carried his body to the grave found it quite light. They were told that the angels were helping them. When he was buried, the Prophet (pbuh) said three times 'Subhan Allah!' (Glory be to Allah!), and 'Allahu Akbar!' (Allah is Most Great!). When asked why he did this, he replied, 'The grave was tight for this good man, until Allah eased it for him.' This is one of the rewards that Allah gives to martyrs and good Muslims.

[PF:170009] Mother of the Believers Sayyidah Ayesha Siddiqah Radi Allahu Ta'ala Anha

https://fbcdn-sphotos-a.akamaihd.net/hphotos-ak-ash4/282679_10150235577920334_672380333_7952943_1640316_n.jpg
Sayyidah Ayesha Siddiqah Radi ALLAHu Ta'ala Anha was the third lady to enter the house of the Beloved Habeeb Peace and Blessings Be Upon Him as his wife, and she was the only virgin in the consorts of purity of the Holy Prophet's Peace and Blessings Be Upon Him house. She was of a tender age when she was married to Allah's Apostle Peace and Blessings Be Upon Him.

Historical records bear ample testimony to the fact that Sayyidah Ayesha Radi ALLAHu Ta'ala Anha was a precocious genius and was developing both in mind and body with rapidity peculiar to such rare personalities. This marriage is significant in the history of Islam in so many aspects.

https://fbcdn-sphotos-a.akamaihd.net/hphotos-ak-snc6/40796_425078705333_672380333_5538153_7015029_n.jpg

Firstly, it cemented the ties between Sayyiduna Rasoolullah Peace and Blessings Be Upon Him and his devoted friend Sayyiduna Abu Bakr Siddique Radi ALLAHu Ta'ala Anhu who always stood by him in hour of trial and who sacrificed his all for the cause of Islam.

Secondly, by this marriage, a lady of eminent qualities came under the direct influence of the Holy Prophet Peace and Blessings Be Upon Him at a highly impressionable age, and this provided her ample opportunities to penetrate into the innermost recesses of the sacred heart of the Beloved Habeeb Peace and Blessings Be Upon Him. She shared his company and thus was able to develop her potentialities and refine her taste perfectly in accordance with the teachings of Islam under the direct supervision of Sayyiduna Rasoolullah Peace and Blessings Be Upon Him.

This young age was in fact very opportune for marriage as it has been clearly shown in the researches of psychoanalysts that much of the emotional of a mature person and most of those seemingly unaccountable leanings, tastes and tendencies comprised in the term idiosyncrasies can be traced to the experience of his or her highly formative age of either later childhood or early adolescence.

https://fbcdn-sphotos-a.akamaihd.net/hphotos-ak-snc6/223056_10150168740685334_672380333_7366490_1961632_n.jpg

Thirdly, all the wives of the Holy Prophet Peace and Blessings Be Upon Him with the exception of Sayyidah Ayesha Radi ALLAHu Ta'ala Anha were of advanced age and thus could neither share the feelings of the younger generation nor could they properly appreciate their point of view. The difference of age always stood as a barrier between them and the ladies of the younger ages. The only lady with whom young women could frankly enter into conversation and discuss problems without any reserve could be none but Sayyidah Ayesha Radi ALLAHu Ta'ala Anha. Thus, the marriage of the Holy Prophet Peace and Blessings Be Upon Him with Sayyidah Ayesha Radi ALLAHu Ta'ala Anha at an age when she was at the threshold of puberty was a great necessity, as it was through her that instructions could successfully be imparted to the young ladies who had newly entered the fold of Islam.

Moreover, this marriage struck at the root of a wrong notion that had firmly taken hold of the minds of the people that it was contrary to religious ethics to marry the daughter of a man whom one declared to be one's brother. The Messenger of Allah Peace and Blessings Be Upon Him, with the help of his personal example, showed to the people that there is a great difference between a brother-in-faith and the brother in relation to blood. The marriage, which is forbidden in Islam, is with the daughter of the brother in blood and not with the daughter of the brother-in-faith.

Sayyidah Ayesha Radi ALLAHu Ta'ala Anha lived on almost fifty years after the passing away of the Messenger of Allah Peace and Blessings Be Upon Him. She passed away in the year 58 A.H. in the month of Ramadaan and was buried in the sacred graveyard Baqi al-Garqad of Madinatul Munawwara.

Sayyidah Ayesha Radi ALLAHu Ta'ala Anha reported that the Apostle of Allah Peace and Blessings Be Upon Him said:

"I saw you in a dream for three nights when an Angel brought you to me in a silk cloth and he said, 'Here is your wife', and when I removed the cloth from your face, it was yourself, so I said, 'If this is from Allah SubHanuhu wa Ta'ala, let Him carry it out.'"

Sayyidah Ayesha Radi ALLAHu Ta'ala Anha used to play with dolls in the presence of the Messenger of Allah Peace and Blessings Be Upon Him and when her playmates came to her they left (the house) because they felt shy of the Holy Prophet Peace and Blessings Be Upon Him whereas Allah's Messenger Peace and Blessings Be Upon Him sent them to her. People sent their gifts when it was the turn of Sayyidah Ayesha Radi ALLAHu Ta'ala Anha seeking thereby the pleasure of Allah's Messenger Peace and Blessings Be Upon Him .

Sayyidah Ayesha Radi ALLAHu Ta'ala Anha said:

"The wives of Allah's Apostle Peace and Blessings Be Upon Him sent his daughter Faatima Radi ALLAHu Ta'ala Anha to him. She sought permission to get in as he had been lying with me in my mantle. He gave her permission and she said: 'Allah's Messenger Peace and Blessings Be Upon Him ! Verily, your wives have sent me to you in order to ask you to observe equity in case of the daughter of Abu Quhafah.' She (Ayesha Radi ALLAHu Ta'ala Anha ) said: 'I kept quiet'. Thereupon, Allah's Messenger Peace and Blessings Be Upon Him said to her (Faatima Radi ALLAHu Ta'ala Anha ):

'O daughter! Don't you love whom I love?' She said: 'Yes, I do'. Thereupon, he said: 'I love this one (Ayesha)'.

https://fbcdn-sphotos-a.akamaihd.net/hphotos-ak-ash2/46634_425078785333_672380333_5538159_7831821_n.jpg

"Faatima Radi ALLAHu Ta'ala Anha then stood up as she heard this from her father and went to the wives of Allah's Apostle Peace and Blessings Be Upon Him and informed them of what she had said to him and what he had said to her. Thereupon, they said to her: 'We think that you have been of no avail to us. You may again go to Allah's Apostle and tell him that his wives seek equity in case of the daughter of Abu Quhafah'. Faatima Radi ALLAHu Ta'ala Anha said: 'By Allah I will never talk to him about this matter'.

Sayyidah Ayesha Radi ALLAHu Ta'ala Anha (further) reported:

The wives of Allah's Apostle Peace and Blessings Be Upon Him then sent Zaynab bint Jahsh Radi ALLAHu Ta'ala Anha , the wife of the Holy Prophet Peace and Blessings Be Upon Him , and she was one who was somewhat equal in rank with me in the eyes of the Prophet Peace and Blessings Be Upon Him and I have never seen a woman more advanced in religious piety than Zaynab Radi ALLAHu Ta'ala Anha , more Allah-conscious, more truthful, more alive to the ties of blood, more generous and having more sense of self-sacrifice in practical life and having more charitable disposition and thus more close to Allah SubHanuhu wa Ta'ala, the Exalted, than her. She however lost temper very soon but was soon calm. Allah's Messenger Peace and Blessings Be Upon Him permitted her to enter as she (Ayesha Radi ALLAHu Ta'ala Anha ) was along with Allah's Messenger Peace and Blessings Be Upon Him in her mantle, in the same very state when Faatima Radi ALLAHu Ta'ala Anha had entered. She said: 'Allah's Messenger Peace and Blessings Be Upon Him , your wives have sent me to you seeking equity in case of the daughter of Abu Quhafah'. She then came to me and showed harshness to me and I was seeing the eyes of Allah's Messenger Peace and Blessings Be Upon Him whether he would permit me. Zaynab Radi ALLAHu Ta'ala Anha went on until I came to know that Allah's Messenger Peace and Blessings Be Upon Him would not disapprove if I retorted. Then I exchanged hot words until I made her quiet. Thereupon, the Holy Prophet Peace and Blessings Be Upon Him smiled and said: 'She is the daughter of Abu Bakr Radi ALLAHu Ta'ala Anhu '".

https://fbcdn-sphotos-a.akamaihd.net/hphotos-ak-ash4/222526_10150168740805334_672380333_7366493_5496278_n.jpg

This Hadith gives a clear glimpse of the home life of the Glorious Messenger of Allah Peace and Blessings Be Upon Him. The wives of the Holy Prophet Peace and Blessings Be Upon Him were all eminent ladies having deep Allah-consciousness, but they, after all, belonged to the human race and thus, could not completely banish those minor human weaknesses, which are ingrained in the very nature of the fair sex. They were all deeply attached to the Holy Prophet Peace and Blessings Be Upon Him and every one of them had, therefore, an earnest desire that she should get the maximum love and affection from the Prophet of Allah Peace and Blessings Be Upon Him. It was out of this spirit of envy, rather than jealousy, that they put forward this demand. It was a natural expression of their humanly feelings born of their love for the Beloved Habeeb Peace and Blessings Be Upon Him , and not an objection against the attitude and behavior of the "Mercy of the Worlds". And they could not even conceive of it; and how could they, when all of them had been receiving the most beneficent treatment at his hand?

Sayyidah Ayesha Radi ALLAHu Ta'ala Anha reported:

"When the Holy Prophet Peace and Blessings Be Upon Him set out on a journey, he used to cast lots amongst his wives. Once this lot came out in my favour and that of Hafsa Radi ALLAHu Ta'ala Anha. They (Hafsa Radi ALLAHu Ta'ala Anha and Ayesha Radi ALLAHu Ta'ala Anha ) both went along with him and when it was night Allah's Messenger Peace and Blessings Be Upon Him used to travel on camel along with Ayesha Radi ALLAHu Ta'ala Anha and talked with her. Hafsa Radi ALLAHu Ta'ala Anha said to Ayesha Radi ALLAHu Ta'ala Anha : 'Would you like to ride upon my camel tonight and allow me to ride upon your camel and you would see (what you generally do not see) and I would see (what I do not see) generally?' She said: 'Yes'. But, Ayesha Radi ALLAHu Ta'ala Anha rode upon the camel of Hafsa Radi ALLAHu Ta'ala Anha and Hafsa Radi ALLAHu Ta'ala Anha rode upon the camel of Ayesha Radi ALLAHu Ta'ala Anha and Allah's Messenger Peace and Blessings Be Upon Him came near the camel of Ayesha Radi ALLAHu Ta'ala Anha , (whereas) Hafsa Radi ALLAHu Ta'ala Anha had been riding over that. He greeted her and then rode with her until they came down. She (Ayesha Radi ALLAHu Ta'ala Anha ) thus missed the company of the Prophet Peace and Blessings Be Upon Him and when they sat down, Ayesha Radi ALLAHu Ta'ala Anha felt jealous. She put her foot in the grass and said: 'O ALLAH SubHanuhu wa Ta'ala , let the scorpion sting me or a serpent bite me. And so far as Your Messenger Peace and Blessings Be Upon Him is concerned, I cannot say anything about him'".

Sayyiduna Anas bin Maalik Radi ALLAHu Ta'ala Anhu has said:

"The Holy Prophet Peace and Blessings Be Upon Him said that the excellence of Ayesha over women is like the excellence of Tharid over all other foods."

Sayyidah Ayesha Radi ALLAHu Ta'ala Anha is one of the four persons (the others being Sayyiduna Abu Hurayra Radi ALLAHu Ta'ala Anhu , Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Omar Radi ALLAHu Ta'ala Anhu and Sayyiduna Anas bin Maalik Radi ALLAHu Ta'ala Anhu) who transmitted more than two thousand sayings of the Holy Prophet Peace and Blessings Be Upon Him. The Holy Prophet Peace and Blessings Be Upon Him referring to her extensive knowledge of Islam is reported to have said:

"Learn a portion of your religion from this Humayra (red coloured lady)."

Sayyidah Ayesha Radi ALLAHu Ta'ala Anha not only possessed great knowledge but also took an active part in education and social reform. As a teacher she had a clear and persuasive manner of speech and her power of oratory has been described in superlative terms. Men and women came from far and wide to benefit from her knowledge.

According to the Orientalist, D.S. Margoliouth, he wrote:

"Of the entire number of inmates, Lady Ayesha alone, by force of character and keenness of wit, won for herself a place in the political and religious history of Islam." [Quoted by Fida Hussain Maalik in his book, 'Wives of the Prophet', Bombay, 1989, Page 124]

Pearls of Wisdom by Sayyida Ayesha as-Siddiqah
  • To spend for your guests is not extravagance.
  • Good deeds are to refrain from bad deeds.
  • A believer of truth never becomes disgrace even if the whole World turns against him while a believer in falsehood never gains respect even if the moon comes out on his forehead.
  • Wherever the torch of truth shines it is advantageous to all, and it must not be seen who the torchbearer is.
  • A very good trait of character is to protect your tongue.
  • When the stomach becomes full the faculty of thought becomes weak and wisdom and understanding become mute.
  • Gluttony is the root of all illnesses and abstinence is its remedy.
  • Magnificence is gained in 1% friendship and 99% hard work and physical exertion.
