| Tidbit about this narration
There are certain hadith, that are passed on , Passed on teacher to student All the way to the Prophet (saw), SOME AHADITH not only words transfer, but EVEN THE ACT associated with words also transfer! Tashud of ibn masood, in this narration One day the prophet walked up to me, put his arm around my shoulder and said lets go for walk with his arm around my shoulder, Let me teach you something Arm around shoulder So Abdullah ibn masood later in life ON conveying to his favorite student IBANRHI an nakhi PUT HIS hands around his shoulder and taught him tashsahud Even though he already knew it! HAMAAD AS SALMIAIN another favorite student
So literally this tradition has been passed on. When teacher passes on this tradition, PASSES IT ON BY EMULATING THE ACT ITSELF!!!!!! That’s how we emulate the life of Prophet 9saw), OUR teacher even did this THIS IS THE SOMETIHNG UNIQUE ABOUT THIS TASHAHUD (There are also other tashahud that are similar but have some minor differences. These are skipped) Tashahhud of Ibn Abbas, Ibn Umar, Abu Musa, Umar Ibn al-Khattab IMPORTANCE OF IKHALAQQ One of the other tashahud emphasized ikhlaq. One very common problem is that you find someone who is very regular about salah, about Quran, about his dhikr, bu this person is someone who everyone hates. He is the meanest uncle or aunty in the masjid Or you have a guy who prays 5 times a day, but you would never want to do bussiness with him, the guy will take the shirt from your back if he could (and unfairly deal with you) Or someone in the family whose salah and Quran are good, but ikhlaaq is HORRIBLE , only things coming out of mouth are negative and criticizing. One thing shaytaan does is he CREATES A SEPERATION, salah is one thing, and business is another thing THE QURAN NEVER CREATED A SEPERATION, he showed us that these two things are LINKED! If you continue to pray 5 times a day and you continue to lie, to backbite, that means THERE IS A DEFICIENCY IN YOUR SALAH! MUNKAR does NOT mean sins, (dhunobb means sins) it means to behave inappropriately in your SOCIAL CONDUCT, QURAN says your SALAH WILL STOP YOU FROM BEHAVING INAPPROPRIATELY IN YOUR SCHOOL, WORK, SOCIETY. If they are not doing that, they have a problem with their salah!
Father and son would have different tashahud!!! Unbelievable, we NEED TO LEARN TOLERENCE IN OUR COMMUNITIES
THE PROPHET (SAW) TOLD US DIFFERENT THINGS IN DIFFERENT WAYS ITS FROM THE WISDOM OF THE PROPHET (SAW)
Look at the sahabah, they all read different tashahud, but didn’t make it an issue out of it. 4.02 SALTUATIONS ON THE PROHET (PBUH) Loving the Prophet pbuh, and knowing the Prophet begins by saying his name properly (recitation exercise) One of the greatest tragedies of today is we know OF the Prophet pbuh but we haven’t fallen in LOVE with the Prophet pbuh. There are youth, who think it might not even be true! To the extreme that its all fairy tale and “made up”, subhanAllah! The Prophet pbuh was an INDIVIDUAL, who lived for OTHER people He was the type of person who bled, cried, sacrificed an unbelievable amount for the sake of humanity His heart would literally bleed for humanity If you read his life, the way he lived, you will be amazed. There is a book that describes the Prophet saw, their main passage that is always in my head DAA I MAN FIKRAH- he was constantly concerned Constantly grieved He was grieving constantly over the condition of the people He NEVER had a moment of rest! The Prophet himself tells us that “I have been threatened for the deen of Allah like no one else has be threatened, and I have been tortured and pained like no on else” “30 consecutive days and nights passed that myself and bilal had nothing to eat except little, except what he could hide in his clothes
The Prophet pbuh says “what’s the special occasion”? The prophet sat down , said bismillah, Took bite of bread Thanked Allah and said I swear by the one whose in His hand holds my life “This is the first morsel of food your father has eaten in 3 days” He would stay awake, he couldn’t sleep out of concern for the people! He expressed his concern for humanity
We haven’t studied the life of Prophet, and WE HAVENT PRESENTED him properly! Story of TUFAYL; He accepted islam Prophet told him go back to your area and guide them to islam He came back Tribe of DOWS isn’t accepting , and he asked dua to destroy them Prophet raised his hands (sahabah said theyre done for…) “O Allah guide the people o Dows” And he told Tufayl Now go back YEASR LATER, literally 20 years later TUFAYL arrive back to medina with his ENTIRE TRIBE ready to accept Islam!
The muslim army was being attacked by the arrows, The battle is going on and on They went to the Prophet pbuh “oh messenger of Allah, the arrows of thaqeef are burning holes in us!, they’re killing us You are the messenger of Allah, make dua that Allah destroy these people Prophet raised his hand and said “O Allah give hadyaya to the people of thaqeef”
Prophet said LOOK FOR ME AT THESE 3 PLACES AT THE BRIDGE OF SIRAAT, I will help you When the deeds are being weighed, I will help you At the fountain of kauhthar, I will give you water to drink with my own hands
HE LOVEED EVERYONE…even the most sinful of the ummah What have we done, how we REPSONDED to this love? What have we done in return? WHAT CAN WE DO? STUDY THE LIFE OF THE PROPHET, LIVE BY THE MORALS AND THE CHOICES OF THE PROPHET CARRY YOURSELF HOW HE CARRIED HIMSELF TALK LIKE HE WOULD TALK TREAT YOUR FAMILIES LIKE HE WOULD TREAT HIS FAMILIES Send blessing upon him
O ALLAH SEND YOUR SPECIAL BLESSINGS ALA- UPON, MUHAMMAD- Lets understand the etymology of the name of the Prophet pbuh This comes from root word HAMD, Muhammad is a specific form of the word which implies SOMETHING TO HAPPEN OVER AND OVER AGAIN Muhammad is the one who is praised over and over again, One who is praised repeatedly, Because all over the world, he is praised The Prophet pbuh said the STINGINESS of my ummah is one who doesn’t even say salaam, cant give that much upon me Ibn Kathir talks about how the Prophet was not the first person who was named muhammad. While the prophet was not the first person named muhammad, it was a RARE name Like Abdurehman is common, Abdul Baqi is rare So if you come across an Abdul baqi, you would say hmm, that’s interesting Muhmmad was a RARE name
1- Surah Al Imran- “wa muhammadan ilaa rasul” 2- Surah Ahzaab 3- Surah Muhammad 4- A place is Surah FATH (after surah Muhammad)
AHMAD comes from the root word HAMD, same root, Ahmad means the ONE who praises more than others (praising Allah) Occurs in Surah Saff Observation in the Quran All these places where the name of Prophet pbuh occurs and Allah is speaking ABOUT, everytime Allah talks TO Muhamamd, Allah talks to him with TITLES, YA AYUALMUDASIR, YA AYUHAL MUZZAMIL, NOT only that but even when Allah mentions RASOOL when talking about him. The lesson is, “we don’t talk about the Prophet pbuh like we speak about each other,” We shouldn’t say “Muhammad said” No Say “The messenger of Allah said” EVEN THE FAMILY CALLED HIM “O MESSENGER OF ALLAH” TALK ABOUT HIM WITH TITLES Say the Prophet Muhammad, The messenger Muhammad O ALLAH SEND YOUR SPECIAL BLESSINGS ON MUHAMMAD WA ALLA- AND UPON AALI MUHAMMAD- Aali-is family. AAALI is bigger than family, A-HAL – means family, immediately family, members of house AALI- is bigger than that. ANYONE who is afflicted or associated with this is included in FAMILY, includes companions, includes FOLLOWERS AS WELL, WE ARE INCLUDED IN THIS!!! AALI! AND UPON ALL THOSE WHO ARE ASSOCIATED WITH MUHAMMAD pbuh KAMAA- JUST LIKE SALAYTAA- THIS IS PAST TENSE VERB OF SALI (the command, Salaytaa- JUST LIKE YOU HAD SENT (in the past) special blessings ALAA- UPON IBRAHIM- this is the name of Allah’s messenger This is a foreign word and foreign name (originated in different language) NAMES transcend languages, you don’t translate names We really don’t know what this name means, WA AALA- and upon AALI IBARHIM- all those associated with Ibrahim (as) INNA KA- MOST DEFINITLY, MOST CERTAINLY KA- YOU (Allah) Most definitely YOU HAMEEDOON- root word Hamd, THE ONE WHO IS CONSTANTLYYYYY WORTHY OF PRAISE! MAJEED- glorified, The one who is CONSTANTLY GLORIOUS MOST DEFINITLY YOU ARE CONSTANTLY WORTHY OF PRAISE AND CONSTANTLY GLORIOUS NOW 2ND HALF Instead of ALAHUMA SALI YOU SAY
You say
KAMAABARAKTA BAARIK- O ALLAH SEND YOUR EVERLASTING BLESSINGS, BARAAQTA- just like YOU HAD SENT YOUR EVER LASTING BLESSINGS KAMAA- draws a parallel, with Prophet Muhammad and Ibhrahim What is the connection? The Prophet was the ANSWER TO THE SUPPLICATION OF IBRAHIM AFTER BUILDING THE KABAH, HE SAID INSERT QURANIC AYAH “RABAB WAB US FEEHI RASOOLAM” The Prophet is a UNIVERSAL messengerr, so Allah is creating an association in the minds of people with the Prophet and ibrahim. Because ibrahim is a UNIVERSALLY accepted messenger Do jews and chirstions accept MUSA? Yes Do the jews accept isa? No Mushrikoon accept musa? No Did they believe in Ibrahim? YES! EVEN THOUGH THEY WERE MUSHRIKOON, they still held the figure of Prophet Ibrahim in reverence. They said the follow the religion of Ibrahim Allah creates an association that just like everyone accepts Prophet Ibrahim They need to accept Prophet Muhammad (saw) as well
TASHAH HUD SOUND LIKE ASHHADU Tashahud COMES FROM root word to bear witness, to bear testimony to All of it, why is that entire thing called tashahud? The principle of eloquence in Arabic language, when you are talking about WHOLE. You refer to WHOLE by mentioning PART and when you do that , its because that part is The most important part of the whole! We call that ENTIRE supplication the tashahud because the most important part is tashahud! Everything leads up to that, everything builds up to that.
The sitting portion of prayer, The ruku The sujud What is unique about what you say in sitting portion? THE SITTING portion of prayer TEACHES US ETTIQUES of supplication to Allah and what we say in that position is very important
This is the etiquettes for making dua!! This sitting portion teaches us proper way of making a supplication
