Best of you

29. "The best of days that you should perform cupping are the 17th, 19th and 21st of the month. I did not pass a single gathering of angels on the night of Isrâ' except that they would say to me, 'O Muhammad, perform cupping!'" [Ahmad, Sahîh]

Quotes to remember

19. Abdullah ibn ‘Amr (ra) narrated, “I asked the Messenger of Allah ﷺ about what saves me from Allah’s wrath, and he said, “Do not become angry.” (al-Tabarani and Ibn Abdul Barr) Ibn `Umar, Ibn Mas’ud, and Abu Darda’ (ra) relate similar conversations on their own behalf.

Salafs sayings

Abu ad-Dardaa narrated [Saheeh Muslim, No.6588]: The Messenger of Allaah said: «No believing servant supplicates for his brother behind his back (in his absence), except that the Angels say: "The same be for you too".»
al-Imaam an-Nawawee comments [Riyaadh as-Saaliheen #1494]: This hadeeth makes it evident that one who prays for someone in his absence also stands to benefit from it because the angel appointed for the task of praying for those who pray for others will pray for him, saying, "O Allaah! Grant him also the same which he has asked for others".

Fasting while on Journey

 


Question:

As you all know, the means of comfortable transportation are numerous, and all praise is due to Allah. And the traveller does not find any difficulty in fasting. So is it better for him to fast or break his fast?
Answer:

The traveller is given the choice between fasting and breaking the fast. The apparent meaning of the Islamic evidences shows that breaking the fast is better especially if the fast is difficult upon the person. This is due to the Prophet's statement: It is not from righteousness to fast during travel. [1] And His statement:Verily, Allah loves that His concessions are taken just as he hates for disobedience of Him to be done.[2] Whoever fasts there is no sin upon if the fast is not difficult for him. If the Fast is difficult for him, then that is disliked for him (to fast). And Allah is Giver of success.
