The Dawn (Fajr) Prayer



The Dawn (Fajr) Prayer, Morning Prayer and 
optional Prayer of Fajr ________________________________________ 
Question: 
Is the Morning Prayer called Dawn (Fajr) Prayer? What is the difference between two rak'ahs of Fajr sunnah and Morning Prayer? 
The answer: 
The Morning Prayer is the Fajr Prayer because Allah says in the Holy Qur'an (Surat Al-fajr): 
"By Dawn. By the ten (highly esteemed) nights." 
And says in Surat Al-Takweer (the contraction): 
"And by the breath of morning." 
All that asserts that the Morning is Fajr, the Messenger of Allah (PBUH) has asserted and confirmed on Fajr Prayer and Isha 'Prayer, he said: 
"The most difficult prayer for hypocrites are Fajr and Isha 'Prayers but if they know what is Allah's rewards and bounties for these prayers, they will perform them even if they came (to the mosque) crawling." 
So there is no difference between Morning Prayer and Fajr Prayer. We do not want to get into disagreement about names as this is not found in the religion of Allah's The Almighty. 
But supererogatory Prayer is two rak'ahs of Fajr Sunnah before dawn

Non-documented Marriage






Question about non-documented marriage? 
The answer: 
Non-documented marriage is that which not registered by the marriage official or registrar in the authorized Real Estate. 
This marriage started when the husbands of some women died and they take pension, if they get married officially by a marriage official, the salary or the pension will stop so they circumvent to continue take the salary. This marriage is not legal because they take money that does not belong to them illegally. 
This marriage is developed after that to university where there are girls with young men. 
When the girl goes to this new life, the devil whispers to her and she says "I want to live my life," she talks, walks and loves different guys, but at this time they can not afford marriage and at the same time their families will not agree, what will they do? 
They agree to do non-documented marriage and they only write a paper between each other away from her and his family. This is the big problem among students in universities because after graduation he denies her and says he never knows her and consequently her life is destroyed. Sometimes she gets pregnant and gives birth but he says the baby is not his son and he does not know him. So she destroys her life herself. Sometimes her family knows and disavows her too and she turns to vice as you hear and read. 
The most important thing in this subject is the girl; so God started by her first because no one can touch her without her will as Allah says: 
"The woman and the man stained by adultery," Surat Annoor verse 2. 
So, non-documented marriage is forbidden in all Islamic schools. If a young man wants her he should go to her family and proposes. 
We should not exaggerate marriage expenses as the apostle (PBUH) said: 
"The best women of my nation are those whose faces are shinning and those who have lower dowry." (After A'isha Jame'a Al-Ahadeeth Wal-Maraseel.) 
So we should facilitate for the youth because work opportunities now are unavailable. 
I like what happened in Edfoo, people chose one from every family and they gathered and agreed to a document that the gift for a girl before marriage should not be more than 5 hundred pounds and they banned expensive ceremonies, they just allowed necessary things the new house needs and other things such as television etc will come after that, so we should facilitate, and I see lots of marriages were done here, and by this our boys and girls are modest and achieve their goals.

I hate my husband how can I live with him


Question: 

How can I continue in my marriage while love between us has turned to be hatred? I need someone loves and be passionate to me as now we have children and I get tired taking care of them? 
The answer: 
Sisters, suppose with the developments of life love, cordiality and compassion fled from our lives, suppose the wife hated her husband, as the question says, does she have the right to know another one for love and lives with her husband for the interest, as people do in the western world now? 
That is not permissible in Islam. First: she should be patient about God's will, and she will soon get unprecedented rewards. I remind her and you all of what the Prophet said in the Hadith to both husband and wife if they have more problems and each one only sees the bad side of the other, he said: 
"A male believer (husband) should not hate a female believer (wife), if he hated one of her habits, he is pleased by another." 
God says: 
"(You men) Live with them (your wives) on a footing of kindness and equity. If you take a dislike to them it may be that you dislike a thing, and God brings about through it a great deal of good. "Surat Annesa 'verse 19. 
Now, if there has been acrimony and hatred replaced love as she said, she should know that her husband is suffering like her, even if she sees him does not care about it. In fact, both of them need the other, and today, after long life between them and children, they need each other more and success reasons exist between them, but they should understand that they both are responsible for that, and they both have to solve all problems not anyone else and not only one of them. If we investigate the matter, we will see that both of them are responsible for the hatred. If the wife has repaired herself and the husband does the same, the relationship will be good again. They must act together but the nature of human beings that no one wants to show that he is wrong. She wants to prove that he was wrong, and he wants to prove that she was wrong, this leads to dispute. 
But if we sit together and follow the Book of Allah and the Sunnah of His messenger, and we know the duty of everyone towards the other and how to deal properly with each other and that we both were wrong and then accept each other's apology, we should both take covenant to keep to these rights and care about these duties and everyone cares about the other's feelings and sensations same as he requires for himself. 
If we do that life between us will return again God's willing. Love and compassion bird will come back flapping its wings again by the blessing of the Book of Allah and the Sunnah of His beloved (Blessing 
and peace of God be upon him).

Don't make your children on probation

Question:
I'll give birth soon God's willing, what should I do to prepare for the new born? And what you advise me about that?
The answer:
If a marital life continues, naturally Allah will grant us children. I told all of you before to prepare for marriage by studying rights and duties so when the time to have children comes, the couple must read a book about the ethics and the rights of children in religion. 
The wife should learn how to receive her child to bring him up according to the right way of Islam, and the father should educate children and bring them up the right way. They should both know that the newcomer will take a lot of time and expenses so they must prepare together to those requirements. They should cooperate, advise each other and not ignore each other because of the responsibilities and demands of the newcomer. Children are supposed to make relationship stronger and increase intimacy and love.
I also warn you to an important matter, a wise wife realizes that her husband always needs her. Some fathers get envious because of mother's great care of the child, so do not forget that there is a "big child" needs you. You should not neglect yourself to take care of the newborn or you will lose the father.
A wise husband also shouldn't get too busy seeking work and leave home because of the increasing demands and responsibilities of life, he neglects his wife and children forgetting that his wife needs psychological and emotional care from him and that educating and upbringing children is a common duty.

Asking God for guidance in marriage

Question:
What if a young man insists to get married to a girl brought up in a bad environment and her family never keeps to prayer or morality, but he insists on the engagement?
The answer:
Religion has given us two things, the apostle of God said:
“He never gets disappointed that who asks God for proper guidance and he never regrets that who consults others.”
What should a believer man or woman do about engagement? They should ask Allah for guidance and pray the prayers of asking God for guidance (Istekhara) and supplicate God. If there is no result after doing it once, it doesn’t mean that you must see a dream but you just feel like or dislike the matter, you can repeat it again up to seven times and God will confirm and show him or her the right way as He wills.
Besides Istekhara they (the man and the woman) also need parents and family consultation.
It is known that marriage must be after parents’ agreement, if his parents doesn’t want him to marry a girl, he shouldn’t marry her against their will because if he does, God’s curse and anger will be stuck to him during his life and in the hereafter. If he insists to marry her without their agreement, where is parents’ obedience?
To be obedient and kind to parents in Islam means they must agree to the marriage, if they don’t agree I should leave the girl and look for another, and I’ll find the best one for me by the blessing of their agreement. The same thing concerns the girl, if her parents refuse a man and she escapes with him, she will face lots of problems and that is what we see now.

Performing prayer wearing gloves

Question: 
What if one wants to perform prayers while she is wearing gloves?
The answer:
It is allowed and it is the same as when your knee touches the ground with clothes on it, suppose that we are in winter and it is very cold and she wants to pray, does she have to take off gloves to pray? It is permissible to pray with gloves.
Wearing gloves is better for a woman if she performs prayers in a mosque but if she performs 
prayers at her house she can do or not.

"Good men are for good women" What does this mean?

The answer:
Allah always speaks about the essence. Sometimes appearance may be different from essence, so God always makes a good essence meet a good essence. A girl sometimes imitates her colleagues in appearance that indicates she is not good, but after marriage the appearance go away and her reality appears and indicates that she is as good as him. Sometimes he looks the same but after marriage his good essence appears, as God says:
"Good men are for good women" (Surat -Aunoor verse 26)
The Messenger of Allah (PBUH) says about the essence: "People are metals like silver and gold." Saheeh Muslim after Abi-Horayra.
I have an important piece of advice, I have been asked many times about the delay of veiled girls’ marriage. Some of you wanted to take off the veil to get married, and some mothers tell their daughters to be easy and let young men see their beauty and their hair and after that they can wear hijab.
Here, your essence appears, if it is good, you shouldn't agree to appear disrespectful, because by that you seek a disrespectful man. So don't say how I marry a disrespectful man. You say you only take off your hijab in order to get married but may be after marriage he doesn’t allow you to wear hijab or he will be indulgent and impolite man. A girl who has the good original essence doesn't give up the law of God to get married. A man who has a good essence will come seeking a girl who has a good essence and he will appreciate, love and protect you but as much as you are patient you will be given rewards.
