[PF:172712] More than two million worshippers arrive in Mecca for hajj pilgrimage...

More than two million worshippers arrive in Mecca for hajj pilgrimage... with another million expected to join them in world's largest annual gathering of Muslims

  • Religious journey to Grand Mosque in Saudi Arabia viewed as one of greatest acts of worship
  • Saudi Arabian authorities ask pilgrims to put politics aside during hajj - but amid bitter divisions in Egypt, some Islamists refuse to keep quiet

 


In the searing heat, this was the scene at the Grand Mosque in Mecca today as millions of pilgrims arrived for the annual hajj - a religious journey that is viewed as one of the Muslim faith's greatest acts of worship.

The mosque, the focal point of Islam, was teeming with visitors wearing the simple white folds of cloth prescribed for hajj.

Almost two million people have so far arrived at the site in Saudi Arabia for the rites, which reach a peak on Monday - and another million are expected.

And with temperatures hitting 36c (97f), many congregated in the cooler shadow of the building's minarets.

Haj must be performed at least once in their lifetime by all Muslims capable of making the expensive, difficult journey - a duty that applies equally to Sunni and Shi'ite Muslims at a time of tension between Islam's main sects.

Saudi Arabian authorities have asked pilgrims to put politics aside during the annual hajj, but amid bitter divisions in Egypt, some Islamists refuse to keep quiet.

 

 

'What's happening in Egypt now is a disgrace. The army is killing innocent Muslims in cold blood every day,' said Zaghloul Hassanien, the owner of an oil products company in the Nile Delta town of Mansoura, as he stood in a supermarket near the Grand Mosque.

Keenly aware of the potential for political tensions to flare into violence at a time of upheaval across the Middle East, the Saudi Interior Minister Prince Mohammed bin Nayef asked pilgrims to leave disputes at home.

He said the kingdom had drafted 95,000 members of the security forces to maintain order.

Sunni Muslim Saudi Arabia not only hosts the pilgrimage but is also increasingly involved in the conflicts across the region

The kingdom is embroiled in a region-wide contest for influence with Shi'ite Iran, with each side accusing the other of backing Syria's bloody civil war.

It has also given Egypt billions of dollars to help prop up the economy and support the generals who in July ousted a government led by Mohamed Mursi, a member of the Sunni Islamist movement the Muslim Brotherhood.

Saudi leaders see the organisation as a direct threat to their dynastic rule.

As demonstrations by Brotherhood supporters in Egypt are met by a crackdown by government forces, feelings are running high among pilgrims from the most populous Arab nation but they say they do not plan to cause unrest.

One fully veiled Egyptian woman said hajj was not a place for politics but, citing the hundreds of Brotherhood members killed in protests, she added that she would pray for God's vengeance to strike army chief General Abdel Fattah al-Sisi.

'Before coming to haj, we agreed not to talk about politics to avoid any problems in this country,' said Mohammed Ramadan, 63, a retired government employee from the Egyptian Mediterranean city of Alexandria.

For other Egyptian pilgrims, Sisi represents a chance to restore the country's stability.

'In every prayer I say God bless Sisi, God give him the strength to protect us against these people that claim to be religious and who have no connection with Islam,' said Mohammed Mahmoud Ahmed, a 36-year-old pilgrim from Aswan.

But most Egyptians making their way into the holy city said their most fervent prayers were for peace.

'Egypt was never like this: Now within a family you have one brother that supports Mursi and another that supports the army and they kill each other over these differences,' said Mosaad Moahmed Hamed, a 28-year-old pilgrim from Mansoura.

'I am praying to God in these holy days that Egypt will be united again. We are tired of hearing about people being killed every day,' he said.

[PF:172711] Curly Fries

Curly Fries

 
 
 
IMG_6055.JPG
This curly fries recipe tastes just like the fries at Arby's and other restaurants. Honestly. I'm really proud of it. And the best part? I tried my hardest to make it easy to duplicate it so you can make curly fries in your own kitchen. :D

I spent a couple days in the Instructables test kitchen messing around trying to get it right. I tried different amounts of seasoning, I tried cornstarch instead of flour, I tried dregding the fries instead of using a wet batter, etc. After five tries, the following recipe was the winner.

And really, you don't even need to buy a special cutter and do curly fries. This batter and seasoning will work just as well on regular fries. :D

Step 1: What you'll need:

IMG_6009.JPG
Ingredients:
  • 1/2 cup flour
  • 2 teaspoons salt
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder 
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon cayenne
  • 2 tablespoons paprika
  • 1(ish) cup water
  • 3-5 russet potatoes


Additional useful hardware:
  • a deep fryer or pan of oil at 350 F
  • a sheet pan
  • a baking rack
  • papertowels
  • a large bowl
  • a large-ish ziploc bag or other foodsafe plastic bag

Step 2: Cut the potatoes

IMG_6013.JPG
Scrub your potatoes first - keeping the skins on is much yummier.

I found that the best way to use the cutter is to slice off maybe a half inch from one end of the potato. This will give you a nice flat surface area to get the potato to adhere to the prongs.

Also, bigger potatoes work better. Small potatoes result in less spirals.

Step 3: Soak the potatoes

IMG_6015.JPG
Once the potatoes are cut, fill a large bowl or measuring cup with the hottest water you can get out of your tap.

Add the potatoes to the hot water and let them soak for 15-20 minutes. 

There are two reasons we're doing this: crispier fries AND they cook faster in the oil later since they're cooking a little now.

Step 4: Make the batter + battering the fries

IMG_6027.JPG
Add your spices and flour into a large bag. Shake it well until it's all combined. Now you can start adding water. A little less than one cup gave me a great consistency. You want it to be a fairly thin batter. :)

Work the bag with your hands to get all the clumps out!

When the fries are done soaking, pull them out by the handfuls, shake off the excess water and dump them in the batter bag. (You might need to break up some of the longer spirals!) Shake the bag and massage it until everything is nicely coated.


Step 5: Frying

IMG_6028.JPG
You'll be frying them for 3-5 minutes in 350 F oil. 

Play around with the time a bit - three minutes was pretty much perfect for me. If I took it to five minutes they'd get dried out but look prettier.

Two tips for frying these:
  1. Don't crowd the basket. 
  2. Don't shake off too much excess batter.

Step 6: Let cool and eat!

IMG_6034.JPG
When they're done frying, transfer them to a baking rack over a baking sheet lined with towels. This will let the excess oil drain off quickly and keep them from getting mushy. :D

Don't add any extra salt until you try one - they're pretty salty as is! Enjoy!

Introduction

The same way Allah (azza wajal) created the months, he chose out of them Ramadan to give extra reward to his servants. By the same token, when he created the days, he chose the first ten days of Dhul Hijjah to be the best days.

This season of worship brings many benefits, such as the opportunity to correct one's faults and make up for any shortcomings or anything that one might have missed. Some may have missed the opportunity in Ramadan or after and regret it. Now there is a chance to make up for it. Every one of these special occasions involve some kind of worship through which the slaves may draw closer to Allah (azza wajal). Likewise, every one of these special occasions have some kind of blessing though which Allah (azza wajal) grants His favor and mercy upon whomever He wills.

The happy and successful believer is the one who makes the most of these special months, days and hours attempting to draw closer to Allah through acts of worship; he will most likely be touched by the blessing of Allah and will feel the joy of knowing that he is safe from the flames of Hell.

 

What are the ten days of Dhul Hijjah ?
The ten days of Dhul Hijjah are the first ten days of the 12th Islamic calendar month called Dhul Hijjah. These are the days when most of the pilgrims make a journey to Makkah and perform their tasks of Hajj. Just as they have a special chance to get extra reward, the ones who were not able to go to Hajj are also given a special chance to get extra reward during these days.

 

What is the significance of these 10 days?
1)Allah (azza wajal) honored them by mentioning them in the Qur'an.

Allah (azza wajal) says: :
"That they might witness things that are of benefit to them (i.e., reward of Hajj in the Hereafter, and also some worldly gain from trade, etc.), and mention the name of Allah on appointed days, over the beast of cattle that He has provided for them (for sacrifice)..." [al-Hajj 22:28]

The majority of scholars agree that the "appointed days" are the first ten days of Dhul Hijjah, because of the words of Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with him and his father), "The appointed days are the first ten days (of Dhul Hijjah)."
[This is related by al-Bukhari]

 

2) Allah (azza wajal) honored them when he swears an oath by them in the Qur'an as well, and swearing an oath by something is indicative of its importance and great benefit.
Allah (azza wajal) says: (interpretation of the meaning): "By the dawn; by the 10 nights" [al-Fajr 89:1-2]. Ibn Abbas, Ibn al-Zubayr, Mujahid and others of the earlier and later generations said that this refers to the first ten days of Dhul Hijjah. Ibn Katheer said: "This is the correct opinion."

 

3) They are considered the most honorable and best days ever.
Ahmad and at-Tabarani record from Ibn 'Umar that the Messenger of Allah (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) said, "There is no day more honorable in Allah 's sight and no acts more beloved therein to Allah than those in these ten days. So say tahlil (There is no deity worthy of worship but Allah : La ilaha illAllah ), takbir (Allah is the greatest : Allahu akbar ) and tahmid (All praise is due to Allah : alhumdulillah) a lot [on those days]." [Reported by Ahmad, 7/224; Ahmad Shakir stated it is saheeh]

 

Narrated Ibn 'Umar: On the Day of Nahr (10th of Dhul Hijjah), the Messenger (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) stood in between the Jamrat during his Hajj which he performed (as in the previous Hadith) and said, "This is the greatest Day (i.e. 10th of Dhul Hijjah)." The Messenger (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) started saying repeatedly, "O Allah ! Be Witness (I have conveyed Your Message)." He then bade the people farewell. The people said, "(This is Hajjat-al-Wada)." [Bukhari 2.798]

 

Ibn 'Umar narrated that at Mina, the Messenger of Allah (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) said, "Do you know what is the day today?" The people replied, "Allah and His Messenger know it better." He said, "It is the forbidden (sacred) day. And do you know what town is this?" They replied, "Allah and His Messenger know it better." He said, "This is the forbidden (sacred) town (Mecca). And do you know which month is this?" The people replied, "Allah and His Apostle know it better." He said, "This is the forbidden (sacred) month." The Messenger (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) added, "No doubt, Allah made your blood, your properties, and your honor sacred to one another like the sanctity of this day of yours in this month of yours in this town of yours."

 

4) Worshipping in them is better than going to Jihad (the peak of matters of worship that you can do). 
There is nothing more of a collection of hadith but on jihad, but these days, worshipping is better than Jihad. The Prophet of Allah (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) said for one to be better than one who worships in these days he must take his wealth and family and go to Jihad and does not come back and looses his wealth.

Ibn 'Abbas reports that the Messenger of Allah (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) said, "No good deeds done on other days are superior to those done on these days [meaning the ten days of Dhul Hijjah]." The companions asked, "O Messenger of Allah , not even jihad in the way of Allah ?" He said, "Not even jihad, except for the man who puts his life and wealth in danger [for Allah 's sake] and returns with neither of them." [This is related by the group except Muslim and an-Nasa'i]

5) It is narrated from some of the sahabah and tabi'een, Saeed ibn Jubair (among others), that when the first ten days arrived they used to take advantage and worship in them as much as they could to the point that he could not do any more.

 

Why are these days so special?
Ibn Hajar rahimahu Allah said the apparent reason they are so special is because the mothers of the acts of worship of Allah occur in them which does not happen in any other days (meaning salah (prayer), charity, fasting, and hajj).

What do I do in these ten days?

1- Dhikr (praise of Allah (azza wajal)

a) Say tahlil
La ilah illah Allah
b) Takbir 
Allahu akbar
c) Tahmid 
Alhamdu lillah

d) Tasbeeh
Subhan Allah

Ahmad and at-Tabarani record from Ibn 'Umar that the Messenger of Allah (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) said, "There is no day more honorable in Allah's sight and no acts more beloved therein to Allah than those in these ten days. So say tahlil (There is no deity worthy of worship but Allah : La ilaha illAllah ), takbir (Allah is the greatest : Allahu Akbar) and tahmid (All praise is due to Allah : alhamdulillah) a lot [on those days]." [Reported by Ahmad, 7/224; Ahmad Shakir stated it is saheeh]

e) Istighfar
"Astaghfer Allah" 
The Prophet (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) said: "Whoever wants his book given to him on the Judgment Day as he is happy then let him do alot of Istighfar."

Do not only do Istighfar for yourself but rather for the entire Ummah because the Prophet (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) taught us that when you do Istighfar for the entire Ummah you will get the reward for each one of them.

"Allahuma 'ghfir lilmu'mineen walmu'minat."

f) Making salah and salam on the Prophet (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam)
Every time you make salah and salam on the Prophet (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) a angel goes to the Prophet (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) and tells him that son of so and so did salam on you. Every time you do salah and salam on the Prophet (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) the angel do salah and salam upon you, their salah and salam on you is asking Allah (azza wajal) to forgive you.

g) General tasbeeh that we know of in the authentic Sunnah
These should always be on our minds and tongues, but more importantly in these days. 

For instance, when one drives to work in the morning or leaves in the afternoon, or waits in a lobby for a turn, or just generally having spare time, and one does not know what to do, then one should praise Allah (azza wajal).

Abu Hamzah Albaghdady said "It's impossible for you to claim you love Allah and not praise him continuously, and it's impossible that you praise Allah continuously and not see the sweetness of that in this life; and its impossible you see the sweetness of praising Allah and then be preoccupied with other than him."

Not praising Allah (azza wajal) cotinuously is a sign of a hypocrite. This is a danger in itself.

Allah (azza wajal) said "When the hypocrite stand up to worship they perform it languidly and to be seen of men, and they do not praise Allah but a little." 4:142 Allah (azza wajal) said they praise Him but they do not do so but a little.

Ibn Abbas said "There is no fard except that Allah put limits to it and excused you with excuses one may have except the Dhikr/praise of Allah its has no limited time span, no limited amount, and no excuse."

Allah (azza wajal) said "Remember Allah , standing, sitting and reclining." 4:103

*Important note on Takbeer should be loud for men during the first ten days of Dhul Hijjah: Takbeer. It is Sunnah to say Takbeer ("Allahu akbar"), Tahmeed ("Al-hamdu Lillah"), Tahleel ("La ilaha ill-Allah ") and Tasbeeh ("Subhan Allah ") during the first ten days of Dhul Hijjah, and to say it loudly in the mosque, the home, the street and every place where it is permitted to remember Allah (azza wajal) and mention His name out loud, as an act of worship and as a proclamation of the greatness of Allah (azza wajal).

Men should recite these phrases out loud, and women should recite them quietly.

Proof for saying it loud - the verse previously mentioned Allah (azza wajal) says:
"And mention the name of Allah on appointed days, over the beast of cattle that He has provided for them (for sacrifice)..." [al-Hajj 22:28] The majority of scholars agree that the "appointed days" are the first ten days of Dhul Hijjah,

The Takbeer may include the words:
"Allahu akbar, Allahu akbar, la ilaha ill-Allah ; wa Allahu akbar wa Lillahil-hamd"
(Allah is Most Great, Allah is Most Great, there is no deity worthy of worship but Allah; Allah is Most Great and to Allah be praise)," as well as other phrases.

Takbeer at this time is an aspect of the Sunnah that has been forgotten, especially during the early part of this period, so much so that one hardly ever hears Takbeer, except from a few people. This Takbeer should be pronounced loudly, in order to revive the Sunnah and as a reminder to the negligent.

Ibn Umar and Abu Hurairah (radhi Allahu anhum) used to go out in the marketplace during the first ten days of Dhul Hijjah, reciting Takbeer, and the people would recite Takbeer when they heard them. The idea behind reminding the people to recite Takbeer is that each one should recite it individually, not in unison, as there is no basis in Sharee'ah for doing this.

2- Fast in these days what you can:


The Prophet (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) said "Whomever fasts for the sake Allah will get for each day will be farther from hell by a trench the distance the sky is from hell." Imagine if you fast these ten days, how far your distance will be from hell.

Rewards for fasting Sunnah is what Allah (azza wajal) says to the people in heaven "(And it will be said unto those therein): Eat and drink at ease for that which ye sent on before you in past days." 69:24 A fasting person gets the reward of an accepted dua'a before he breaks his fast.

Allah (azza wajal) gives those who do rewards seven times as much reward, up to seven hundred, except fasting. Allah (azza wajal) said that is for Him and only for Him. We know that fasting is for Allah (azza wajal), prayer is for Allah (azza wajal) , and Dhikr is for Allah (azza wajal). But why do you think Allah (azza wajal) specify fasting as being for Him? It is because it is a secret worship where no one knows about it, no one knows if you really fasted or pretended but you so the reward of that is so large Allah (azza wajal) will compensate dearly for it.

Ibrahim bin Hani' was fasting and thirsty on his death bed. So, his son brought him some water and told him to drink. He asked "Is it maghrib?" The son said "No." The father said "For a day like this, people shall work." He died fasting.

Nafeesah bint Hasan bin Zaid was on her death bed fasting. Her son tried to force her to eat, she said "Subhan Allah I been asking Allah to die fasting for 30 years. Do you want me break my fast now?" She died reciting the verse "Say: Unto whom belongs whatsoever is in the heavens and the earth? Say: Unto Allah . He hath prescribed for Himself mercy, that He may bring you all together to the Day of Resurrection whereof there is no doubt." 6:12

3- Give charity:


These are things we should all do throughout the year more so during these first ten days of Dhul Hijjah. 

Allah (azza wajal) said "And whatsoever you spend (for good) He replaces it. And He is the Best of Providers." 34:39

Ibn Katheer said Allah will replace the charity given in this life by giving the charitable believer the same back or more and in the life after with reward.

Ibn Umar heard the verse "You will not attain piety until you spend of that which you love. And whatsoever you spend, Allah is Aware thereof." He looked around and could not find anything he loved more than a female slave he owned so he freed her for the sake of Allah (azza wajal).

Saeed bin Ubadah used to take 80 of the poor Muslims in the masjid per day to his family to feed them. His son inherited the generosity and spending for the sake of Allah (azza wajal). His name was Qais bin Saeed bin Ubadah. When he was wealthy he loaned money to people. When he got sick many people refrained from visiting him because most had borrowed from him and were thinking he may ask about the debt they did not have to pay with. When he found out why many did not visit him he said "Let any wealth that will get in the way of the brothers be demolished - I forgive them all."

4- Recitation of Qur'an :


This should be a daily habit more so during these days.

The recitors of the Qur'an are the special ones to Allah (azza wajal). The Prophet (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) ordered recitation of the Qur'an and said alif lam meem is not one letter but rather alif is letter and lam is letter and meem is latter and for each letter is ten hasanat. So you get thirty hasanat just for Alif - lam - meem.

Asma' was asked how the Prophet's sahabah was whenever Qur'an was recited. She said their eyes would tear and creep the flesh. Just as Allah (azza wajal) said "Allah has (now) revealed the fairest of statements, a Scripture consistent, (wherein promises of reward are) paired (with threats of punishment), wherein it creeps the flesh of those who fear their Lord, so that their flesh and their hearts soften to Allah 's reminder. Such is Allah 's guidance, where h He guids whom He will. And him whom Allah sends astray, for him there is no guide." 39:23

Ibn Mas'ood said "For us it was hard to memorize but easy to abide by it, but there will come a time where its easy for them to memorize but not easy to abide by it." Now, we are at time of both the absence of memorization and the absence of abiding by it.

Mujahid was asked about two people; One who recited AlBaqarah and Al Imran and in the same duration someone recited Al Baqarah alone, which is better? He told them the one who recited Al Baqarah because he got more time to comprehend.

We all love the Prophet (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) and wish to see him on the judgment day, but imagine if he makes a complain to Allah (azza wajal) about you saying "And the messenger say: O my Lord! Lo! My own people make this Qur'an of no account." 25:30

Ibn al Qayyim said abandoning the Qur'an is of 5 kinds:

a- abandoning the listening recitation of the Qur'an .
(Some people even ask when they hear the Qur'an is there a dead person?)
b- abandoning the halal/haram (prohibition/commands) 
c- abandoning the returning to Qur'an in our major and minor disputes.
d- abandoning the comprehension and understanding of Qur'an 
e- abandoning the usage of Qur'an as a cure for our hearts.
(Instead of using Qur'an to cure our depression and ill feelings we use other 
means.)

5- Making Continuous and Consistent Dua'a:
One who does not make dua'a may fall under the wrath of Allah (azza wajal) because the Prophet (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) said "Whomever does not ask Allah, Allah will put his wrath on him."

When you make dua'a desperately facing Allah (azza wajal) then know that Allah (azza wajal) will accept from you inshAllah. When scholars were asked how do we knew when Allah (azza wajal) would accept our dua'a? The response was when you become like a person who is drowning and seeks help from another desperately.

Seek the times dua'a is more likely accepted and among them are: 
1- 1/3 end of night 
2- before salah between Adhan and Iqamah 
3- when the Imam is on the mimbar during Jumu'ah Friday 
4- during the rain 
5- in sujood

Start your dua'a in praising Allah (azza wajal) and the prophet Muhammad. Repent and ask for forgiveness, keep these things in mind when making dua:
1- Be persistent and cotinuously ask Allah (azza wajal) .
2- Have your heart there when you make dua'a.
3- Have wudu.
4- Give charity prior to dua'a.
5- Make dua'a in the times most likely accepted.

Imam Shawkani (rahimahuAllah) said "To know your dua'a is accepted is to have your heart ready, cry and shed tears to Allah, being persistent, and after that feeling, a burden taken off your shoulders."

The Prophet (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) said "There is no one who sleeps on taharah and gets up and makes dua'a except that Allah will accept his dua'a as long as its in good."

6- Prayer of the night time:
There are special see-through rooms in heaven for those who pray at night. Allah (azza wajal) laughs to those who pray at night. If Allah (azza wajal) laughs to someone he is in good shape. It's the path of the righteous people, and keeper-away from sins.

Allah (azza wajal) said: "No soul knows what is kept hidden for them of joy, as a reward for what they used to do." 32:17

Hassan Albasri (rahimahuAllah) said "No one leaves prayer of the night except because of a sin he commited."

Aisha (radhi Allahu anha) said "Wallahi the prophet never left the prayer of the night time."

7- Fasting and specialty of the day of Arafah (9th day of Dhul Hijjah):
The Prophet (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) said "There is no day that Allah will free people more than the day of Arafah."

There is no day that shaytan is seen more miserable than that day. This is because it is a day that all his prior work goes in vain. People on Arafat are repenting and those not in Hajj are fasting and asking Allah (azza wajal) for forgiveness.

Fasting this day will forgive a year prior to it and and a year after it.

Abu Qatadah reported that the Messenger of Allah (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) said, "Fasting on the day of 'Arafah is an expiation for two years, the year preceding it and the year following it. Fasting the day of 'Ashurah is an expiation for the year preceding it." [This is related by "the group," except for al-Bukhari and at-Tirmidhi]

Hafsah reported, "There are five things that the Messenger never abandoned: fasting the day of 'Ashurah, fasting the [first] 10 [days of Dhul Hijjah], fasting 3 days of every month and praying two rak'ah before the dawn prayer." [This is related by Ahmad and an-Nasa'i]

For those going to hajj it is better for them not to fast:
Abu Hurairah stated, "The Messenger of Allah forbade fasting on the day of 'Arafah for one who is actually at 'Arafah." [This is related by Ahmad, Abu Dawud, an-Nasa'i, and Ibn Majah]

At-Tirmidhi comments: "The scholars prefer that the day of 'Arafah be fasted unless one is actually at 'Arafah."

8- Sacrificing and slaughter of an animal on the 10th day of Dhul Hijjah:

Allah (azza wajal) the creator of the sky and earth the day and night has chosen some days over others to gather deeds. Sacrifice is one of these deeds.

Sacrifice on the 10th day has very great reward for those in Hajj and those not in Hajj as well. The timing for sacrifice is in the 10th day and 3 days following (11th, 12th, and 13th) It is to declare one Allah and to thank him and follow Ibrahim (alayhi salam)

Allah (azza wajal) said : "So pray unto thy Lord, and sacrifice." 108:2
Allah (azza wajal) said : "Say: Lo! my worship and my sacrifice and my living and my dying are for Allah , Lord of the Worlds." 6:162

Some scholars say this is Wajib, but the jimhoor (vast majority) say it is Sunnah Mu'akadah (important sunnah). Either opinion on the importance of sacrifice to those who can afford it is apparent in the prophet's saying "Whomever plans not to sacrifice let him not come to our prayer area."

When you sacrifice you say "bismillah Allahu akbar Allahuma 3any wa3an ahl baity"
Translation "In the name of Allah - Allahu akbar - oh Allah this is for me and my family."

Reputable scholars all agree that doing the sacrifice is better than giving its equivalent, because sacrifice is a worship in and of itself.

Seven people may participate or share in sacrificing a Cow or Camel.

A leader of the household can sacrifice for himself and for his dependants such as children, women and men like the sahabah and salaf used to do. One planning on sacrificing should not cut his hair or nails until sacrifice is complete. This only applies to the head of the house who is paying for the sacrifice and not his dependants.

One should eat a portion of his sacrifice and give a portion to the poor and relatives.

It is not requested that you do it by hand however that is the best, you may oversee the sacrifice as well or if unable give the power to someone to do this for you.

The sacrifice should be done after 'Eid prayer and you have until three days after, the Prophet (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) ordered those who sacrificed before prayer to do it again.

9- Repentance:


This should be done daily like the Prophet (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) . 

Allah (azza wajal) said: "Truly Allah loves those who turn unto Him, and loves those who have a care for cleanness." 2:222

One hadith is saying about prophet Moses, when he prayed with his people for rain. Allah (azza wajal) answered Moses that there is one man among them, which has been sinful for 40 years and is against Allah (azza wajal) . Moses turned to his people and said that that man must go out, because he is the reason why their prayer was not accepted. The sinful man turned to Allah (azza wajal) and asked Him to cover his sins, after He has covered it for 40 years, and asked Him for forgiveness. Allah (azza wajal) saw that man's repentance was sincere. Allah (azza wajal) accepted it and sent rain. Moses asked, why is it raining, before anyone of his people left. Allah (azza wajal) answered him that the man's repentance was accepted and his sins forgiven.

Another hadith says: "Every man has mistakes, but the best among them are those, who make repentance."

Allah (azza wajal) can change sins to good deeds as well, if He wants. He says: "Except those who repent and believe (in Islamic monotheism), and do righteous deeds; for those, Allah will change their sins into good deeds, and Allah is Oft-Forgiving, Most Merciful." (25:70).

Allah (azza wajal) can accept repentance for all kinds of sins and forgive them. He says: "Say: 'O My slaves who have transgressed against themselves (by committing evil deeds and sins)! Despair not of the Mercy of Allah : verily, Allah forgives all sins. Truly He is Oft-Forgiving, Most-Merciful." (39:53).

But we should not postpone our repentance, because we do not know when we will die.

There are several things, which are helpful to do good repentance:
a) conviction that Allah (azza wajal) can forgive,
b) good behavior to the Muslims,
c) prayer which is relation between man and Allah (azza wajal) 
d) good friendship
e) to remind Allah 's mercy always
f) to remind the death
g) patience which has two sides. Patience to be far from the sins and patience to do good deeds.
h) Man's sincerity to himself,
i) to realize, that every man has his mission, as Allah (azza wajal) says: "Invite to the way of your Lord with wisdom and fair preaching, and argue with them in a way that is better." (16:125).

There are other things which obstruct repentance. They are opposite of things named above.

Rules for repenting:
a) Regret and show remorse for what you did asking Allah (azza wajal) to forgive you.
b) Plan on never going back to what you did.
c) Do good deeds to cover up for the bad sins.
d) If the sins concerns a person you must settle the dispute with him.
(ie. If you backbit a Muslim or stole money you must ask for forgiveness and return the wealth. If you know that doing so will cause more problems then seek a way to mention the person you mentioned in evil in good in a similar setting. Or if you indirectly return the wealth then that's good as well.)

10- Salah in general:

Every twelve raka'at per day you do, you get a palace in heaven.

The Prophet (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) recommended extra prayers for us because everytime we prostrate Allah (azza wajal) , it takes away a sin, and everytime you get up, Allah (azza wajal) adds a deed.

I ask Allah (azza wajal) that He forgive us for our shortcomings and the we take advantage of these sacred days getting the mercy and forgiveness of Allah. Ameen.

| SACRIFICING ANIMALS |

I. Hadrat Zaid ibn Arqam Radi Allahu Ta'ala Anhu reported that the companions of the Messenger of Allah SallAllaho Alaihi wa Aalihi wa Sallam asked:

يا رسول الله ما هذه الأضاحى قال: سنة أبيكم إبراهيم. قالوا فما لنا فيها يا رسول الله قال: بكل شعرة حسنة. قالوا فالصوف يا رسول الله قال: بكل شعرة من الصوف حسنة
"O Messenger of Allah! What is this sacrifice?" He said, "It is the practice of your father Abraham." They asked, "What is the reward for us in it?" He said, "For every hair, you will be rewarded." They asked, "for the wool, O Messenger of Allah?" He said, "For every strand of wool you will be rewarded." [Sunan Ibn Majah, Vol. 1, Page 226, Hadith 3247]


II. Hadrat 'Ayesha Radi Allahu Ta'ala Anha reported that the Messenger of Allah SallAllaho Alaihi wa Aalihi wa Sallam has said,

ما عمل آدمى من عمل يوم النحر أحب إلى الله من إهراق الدم إنها لتأتى يوم القيامة بقرونها وأشعارها وأظلافها وإن الدم ليقع من الله بمكان قبل أن يقع من الأرض فطيبوا بها نفسا
"On the day of sacrifice no one does a deed more pleasing to Allah than the shedding of blood. The sacrifice will come on the Day of Resurrection with its horns, its hairs and its hooves; and the blood finds acceptance with Allah before it falls on the ground." [Sunan Tirmidhi, Vol. 1, Page 275, Hadith 1572]

https://fbcdn-sphotos-b-a.akamaihd.net/hphotos-ak-ash4/387092_10150349541720334_777256222_n.jpg

III. Hadrat Hanash Radi Allahu Ta'ala Anhu reported:

رأيت عليا رضي الله عنه يضحي بكبشين فقلت له : ما هذا ؟ فقال : إن رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم أوصاني أن أضحي عنه فأنا أضحي عنه
I saw Hadrat 'Ali sacrificing two rams. I asked him: "what is this?" He said, "The Messenger of Allah had enjoined me to sacrifice on his behalf; so I am sacrificing on his behalf." [Mishkat, Page 128, Hadith 1642]


IV. Hadrat Abu Hurairah
Radi Allahu Ta'ala Anhu reported that the Messenger of Allah SallAllaho Alaihi wa Aalihi wa Sallam has said,

من وجد سعة فلم يضح فلا يقربن مصلانا
"Such a person who had the ability and means to sacrifice an animal, but (despite this) he did not do so; should never come near our Eidgah (place where the Eid prayers are performed)." [Musnad Ahmad, Vol. 18, Page 27, Hadith 8496]


V. Hadrat Umm-e-Salmah
Radi Allahu Ta'ala Anha reported that the Messenger of Allah SallAllaho Alaihi wa Aalihi wa Sallam has said,

إذا رأيتم هلال ذى الحجة وأراد أحدكم أن يضحى فليمسك عن شعره وأظفاره
"when you see the new moon of Dhul Hijjah and one of you intends to make sacrifice, he must not shave his hair, trim it, or clip his nails." [Sahih Muslim, Vol. 2, Page 160, Hadith 5234]

https://fbcdn-sphotos-a-a.akamaihd.net/hphotos-ak-ash4/393759_10150349541645334_2053784516_n.jpg

IMPORTANT NOTES:

1. For the condition of sacrificing, the Malik-e-Nisab is the person who possesses 52 ½ tolas (620 grammes) of silver or 7 ½ tolas (88 grammes) of gold; or they have the same amount equivalent to either of the above item in value in business goods or non-business goods, which are not goods that are the basic necessities of life. The wealth and/or property should be 'extra'/above one's basic necessities (hajat-e-asliyyah).

2. Nowadays, the price of silver is less. The price of silver in current-day value is approximately £2 per tola. Therefore, anyone who possess the value of: £2 x 52 ½ tola = £105 - which exceeds his/her basic necessities and also the debt which is to be paid back – then it is wajib on such a person to sacrifice an animal.

3. Such a Malik-e-Nisab who has already sacrificed an animal on behalf of himself, and the following year he is still a Malik-e-Nisab then again it is wajib upon him to sacrifice an animal on his behalf. This ruling applies for each year (that sacrificing is wajib if a person is a Malik-e-Nisab). It has been stated in a Hadith: "It is wajib upon every household to sdacrifice an animal each year."

4. If a Malik-e-Nisab sacrifices on behalf of someone else, instead of sacrificing an animal on behalf of himself (i.e. does not sacrifice an animal on his behalf), then he has committed a great sin. Thus, if he wants to sacrifice on someone else's behalf, then he should make preparations to buy another animal and sacrifice it.

5. Some people who think that, "It is wajib only once in a lifetime to sacrifice an animal on one's behalf" is farce and wrong, which has no proof; as it is wajib upon a Malik-e-Nisab to sacrifice an animal on his behalf each year.

6. In villages, it is permissible to sacrifice animals on the 10th of Dhu'l Hijjah after the break of dawn (Subh-e-Sadiq). However, it is Mustahab to sacrifice it after sunrise. [Fatawa-e-'Alamgiri Vol. 5 Page 260]


https://fbcdn-sphotos-h-a.akamaihd.net/hphotos-ak-ash4/311015_10150349541450334_1482407221_n.jpg

7. It is not permissible to sacrifice animals before the Eid prayer in cities and towns. [Bahar-e-Shari'at]

8. Such a poor person - who cannot afford to sacrifice an animal - should also refrain from shaving or trimming hair and clipping nails; so as to resemble the pilgrims on the 10th of Dhul Hijjah.

9. It is permissible for a resident of a city or a town to send his animal to a person living in a village; and have it sacrificed before the Eid prayer; and then have the meat sent back to him in the city or town. [al-Durr al-Mukhtar]

10. It is not permissible to give the skin or the meat of the sacrificed animal as the wage to the butcher or the one who has sacrificed the animal. [al-Durr al-Mukhtar]

11. It is not permissible to give the meat of a sacrificed animal to any infidel.

12. The method of sacrificing an animal is to lay it on its left, such that its face is towards the Qiblah and then place the right foot on its side and holding a sharp knife (concealed obviously from the animal or if it is blind-folded then there is no harm). The animal should be sacrificed using a sharp knife.


https://fbcdn-sphotos-e-a.akamaihd.net/hphotos-ak-ash4/383988_10150349541570334_427209656_n.jpg

13. If the Qurban has been performed on behalf of someone who has passed away, then the meat cannot be eaten by the person himself nor can it be given to a rich person. It is wajib to give all the meat to the poor as sadaqah. [Bahar-e-Shari'at]

14. The animal's skin, reins, saddle etc should all be given in sadaqah, one can use the skin for their own usage, such as to make the skin into a leather bag or a prayer mat. However, one cannot sell the skin to someone else, and then use the money for their own benefit. If this has been done, then the money received should be given as sadaqah.

15. Nowadays, people give the animal skin to Madrissahs and other Islamic institutions. This is perfectly permissible. If one sells the skin with the intention of giving the money received to the Madrissa, then this is also permissible. ['Alamgiri, Bahar-e-Shari'at]

16. The skin of the sacrificed animal cannot be given to the Imam as his wage. Yes, however, it can be given to him as a gift or for his benefit. [Bahar-e-Shari'at]

17. A camel must be at least five years old; a buffalo should be at least two years old; and a sheep, lamb or a goat should be at least one year old. [al-Durr al-Mukhtar]

18. The animal intended to be slaughtered should be big and health, and should be free from any faults or defects. If there is a minor defect in the animal, then the Qurbani will count, but it is Makruh. If there is a major defect, then the Qurbani will not count. [al-Durr al-Mukhtar, Radd al-Muhtar, Fatawa-e-'Alamgiri]

Some think that sacrificing one animal will suffice for one whole household; all of whom are Malik-e-Nisab. This is wrong. Each and every person from such a household should sacrifice an animal on their behalf. Yes, however, a household can share seven parts from a 'large' animal such as a camel, cow, buffalo etc.
