NOTE:- Nowadays, children are being spoilt with love and affection while the parents console themselves by saying that the child will behave when he grows up. One should remember that if the foundation is not straight, the building will also be crooked. Therefore, it is necessary to inculcate good character into the child from the very beginning so that one may not regret later.

When Removing One's Clothing

It is mentioned in the Hadith that on removing one’s clothing recite ‘Bismillah’ as it serves as a barrier between the Shayaateen and human beings. In other words the Shayateen are prevented from viewing the human being. (Hisnul Haseen pg.147 – Urdu)

Is poverty superior or wealth?

عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ، أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ: " رُبَّ أَشْعَثَ مَدْفُوعٍ بِالْأَبْوَابِ لَوْ أَقْسَمَ عَلَى اللهِ لَأَبَرَّهُ ". رَوَاهُ مُسْلِمٌ فِي الصَّحِيحِ، عَنْ سُوَيْدِ بْنِ مَسْعُودٍ

Hadrat Abu Hurairah R.A. narrates that Rasulullah Salallahu Alaihi Wasallam is reported to have said, “There are many people that have dishevelled hair, full of dust, turned away from the door, if they take an oath on Allah then He will certainly fulfil it. (Muslim)

Khanqah & Zikr

Definition of Khanqah

لدر المختار وحاشية ابن عابدين (رد المحتار) قَوْلُهُ: وَرِبَاطٍ هُوَ خَانْكَاةُ الصُّوفِيَّةُ وَهُوَ مُتَعَبَّدُهُمْ. وَفِي كَلَامِ ابْنِ وَفَا نَفَعَنَا الله بِهِ مَا يُفِيدُ أَنَّهَا بِالْقَافِ فَإِنَّهُ قَالَ الْخَنْقُ فِي اللُّغَةِ:التَّضْيِيقُ، وَالْخَانِقُ: الطَّرِيقُ الضَّيِّقُ وَمِنْهُ سُمِّيَتْ الزَّاوِيَةُ الَّتِي يَسْكُنُهَا صُوفِيَّةُ الرُّومِ الْخَانْقَاهْ لِتَضْيِيقِهِمْ عَلَى أَنْفُسِهِمْ بِالشُّرُوطِ الَّتِي يَلْتَزِمُونَهَا فِي مُلَازَمَتِهَا وَيَقُولُونَ فِيهَا أَيْضًا مَنْ غَابَ عَنْ الْحُضُورِ غَابَ نَصِيبُهُ إلَّا أَهْلَ الْخَوَانِقِ وَهِيَ مَضَايِقُ اهـ ط. وَوَجْهُ تَسْمِيَتِهَا رِبَاطًا أَنَّهَا مِنْ الرَّبْطِ: أَيْ الْمُلَازَمَةِ عَلَى الْأَمْرِ، وَمِنْهُ سُمِّيَ الْمَقَامُ فِي ثَغْرِ الْعَدُوِّ رِبَاطًا، وَمِنْهُ قَوْله تَعَالَى {وَصَابِرُوا وَرَابِطُوا} [آل عمران: 200] وَمَعْنَاهُ انْتِظَارُ الصَّلَاةِ بَعْدَ الصَّلَاةِ، لِقَوْلِهِ - عَلَيْهِ الصَّلَاةُ وَالسَّلَامُ - «فَذَلِكُمْ الرِّبَاطُ» أَفَادَهُ فِي الْقَامُوس

In Durrul Mukhtar, Allama Ibn Aabideen Shami (RA) writes, Ribaat refersto the Khanqah of the Sufis, their place of worship. The dictionary meaning of"Khanq" is narrowness. "Khaniq" refers to a narrow path.Therefore the small corner in which the Sufis of Rome had resided is referred to as a Khanqah, because they would restrict themselves with conditions which they had to adhere to in that place. The Arabs also say, Whoever is absent from my presence, his share is lost except the people of Khawaniq (narrow places). The reason for referring to it as 'Ribaat' is because it is derivedfrom the word 'Rabt' which means to stick firmly upon a matter, thus a gap oropening to the enemy is called Ribaat.(Therefore that the gap of our enemies(i.e. Shaytaan and Nafs) should be guarded). From it is the verse of the Quraan Sharif, "be firm in fighting (the enemy) and remain steadfast". Also it means, wait for (the next) Salaah after the completion of one Salaah, as Rasulullah Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam referred to this action as Ribaat

Permissibility of Loud Zikr

وَفِي حَاشِيَةِ الْحَمَوِيِّ عَنْ الْإِمَامِ الشَّعْرَانِيِّ : أَجْمَعَ الْعُلَمَاءُ سَلَفًا وَخَلَفًا عَلَى اسْتِحْبَابِ ذِكْرِ الْجَمَاعَةِ فِي الْمَسَاجِدِ وَغَيْرِهَا إلَّا أَنْ يُشَوِّشَ جَهْرُهُمْ عَلَى نَائِمٍ أَوْ مُصَلٍّ أَوْ قَارِئٍ إلَخْ

Allama Shaaraani (RA) states, The Ulema of former and latter times have agreed that Zikrullah in the Masjid in a gathering and other places is Mustahab, except if their loud voices causes disturbance to a sleeping person,or a person performing Salaah or a person reciting Quraan. (Raddul Muhtaarpg.660 vol.1)

Live Audio Streaming of programmes from the Khanqah at Darul Uloom Azaadville,Johannesburg, South Africa

Hazrat Maulana Abdul Hamid Sahib (Daamat Barakaatuhum) advises that one should attend the Majaalis personally in order to gain maximum benefit. The "Live Streaming" is for those who are unable to attend due to circumstances. In this case, one should listen to the programmes using the "Live Streaming".

Hazrat Maulana explains that the spiritual benefit that one will acquire by attending the Maajalis will not be acquired by listening over the internet, but by attending the Majaalis one will enjoy the Sohbat (companionship) of the Sheikh which will tremendously benefit him. Hazrat Maulana explains this by means of an example. A marriage over the internet may be possible. However, the couple will never be able to have a child over the net, but if they meet for few minutes then it will be possible for the woman to conceive. Similarly, a person should physically attend the Majaalis to spiritually benefit from the Sheikh. (N.B. Marriage over the internet is not valid in Shariah, the example was merely used to explain the importance of attending the gatherings of the Sheikh)
