The migration from the worldly life and the hereafter to the God’s sake


The migration from the worldly life and the hereafter to the God’s sake
- As a migration inside the heart, inside the Intention, it means that
-  When the man intent to do anything in his life,
- He does not do it for the sake of worldly life desire, fame, prominence, or hypocrisy
- And he does not do what he intends to do for the sake of rewards or paradises in the Hereafter
But everything - he intends to do - is for the sake of Allah
- This is the highly ranked meaning of migration that has been mentioned in the sacred Quran
- Where Allah described the characteristics of  the "Ahl al Suffah” group.
-   Allah mentioned them and said to this beloved prophet and the chosen one - the Prophet Mohammed Peace be upon him “   And keep yourself patient [by being] with those who call upon their Lord in the morning and the evening, seeking His countenance…” (Alkahf - 28)
- so, what are they seeking ?? They are seeking God’s countenance; they do everything for the sake of Allah
- This is the higher, fuller, and sublime practice of migration.
- This is the migration of “Al Afraad” those who escaped to Allah,
- As described in Quran “So flee to Allah. Indeed, I am to you from Him a clear warner.”
- So that, in the beginning of migration festival days of each year, each one  should check, review, and correct his migration intents. Then, he should go back again to re-immigrate to Allah.
- For instance, in the beginning of each year,
- If you leave one of your bad ethics and do not return to it, then you did the right immigration to Allah
- I always say to my brothers and my students to set up an annual schedule of leaving their bad ethics.
For instance, this year I’m planning to leave lying; I take a promise not to lie and never return to it.
Never to lie in both serious and humor talk and never to break the promise I had taken on myself
Next year I do the same and so on
- One day, you will find yourself pure of all bad ethics, and your ethics are as ethics of the prophet Mohammed
- Go straightly forward on the method of the chosen-one; you will be connected in his group
Or (- keep yourself on the straight path of the chosen-one, you will be connected in his group)
Or (maintain yourself on the method of the chosen-one; you will be connected in his group)
- you will be included in the meaning of” Muhammad is the Messenger of Allah; and those with him are forceful against the disbelievers, merciful among themselves”
- the one who lets himself goes astray without reviewing his ethics, changing his bad habit, or without correcting his intents. He will regret at the end of his life.
He will say - while taking his last throes - “"Oh [how great is] my regret over what I neglected in regard to Allah “
- So, each one of us should review and check all of his manner, his behaviors, and his intents, in order to test all of his belongs by the balance of the Prophet Mohammed's ethics

Migration to God’s sake



The migration by Godspeed from the worldly life and the hereafter to God’s sake
What does it mean? It means the migration of the heart, inside the Intention, it means that
When man intent to do anything in his life,
He does not do it for the sake of worldly life, desire, fame, prominence, or hypocrisy
And he does not do it for rewards or paradise in the Hereafter
But he does it for the sake of Allah
This is the highly ranked meaning of migration mentioned by Allah describing the characteristics of "Ahl Al Suffah” group.
Allah mentioned them and said to His beloved prophet and the chosen about them: “And keep your soul content with those who call on their Lord morning and evening, seeking His Face,” (Surat Al-Kahf, Verse 28)
So, they are seeking God’s countenance; they do everything for the sake of Allah
This is the higher, fuller, and sublime practice of migration.
This is the migration of “Al Afraad” (unique individuals) those who hurried to Allah,
“Hasten you then (at once) to Allah. I am from Him a Warner to you, clear and open!” Surat Azzareyat Verse 50.
So, in the beginning of migration festival days of each year, each one should check, review, and correct his migration intents. Then, he should re-immigrate to Allah.

If you just leave one of your bad ethics and do not return to it, then you do the right immigration to Allah
I always say to my brothers and my students to set up an annual schedule of leaving their bad ethics.
For instance, this year I’m planning to leave lying; I take a promise not to lie and never to return to it.
Never to lie in both seriousness and entertainment talk and never to break the promise I had taken on myself
Next year I do the same and so on
One day, you will find yourself as it was said: (keep yourself on the straight path of the chosen-one, then you will be connected in his group)
You will be included in the meaning of: “Muhammad is the apostle of Allah. and those who are with him” Surat Al-Fat’h Verse 29.
But the one who lets himself goes astray without reviewing his ethics, changing his bad habits, or without correcting his intents, he will regret at the end of his life.
He will say while taking his last throes – “ 'Ah! Woe is me! In that I neglected (my duty) towards Allah,” Surat Al-Zumar Verse 56.
So, each one of us should review and check all of his manners, his behaviors, his intents, and his deeds in order to test and measure them by the balance of the apostle of Allah (PBUH).

Reading the Holy Qur'an and repeating Athan (the call to prayer)

Question:
When I am reading the Qur'an then I hear Athan (the call to prayer), should I stop reading immediately to repeat Athan?
The answer:
When a Muslim hears the call to prayer he should immediately leaves everything and repeats it, even if we are talking or reading the Qur'an, A'isha (may God be pleased with her) said in the famous narration:
"The Messenger of Allah used to talk to us, sit with us and laugh and joke with us, when he hears the call to prayer, he immediately leaves to prayer as if he doesn’t know us and we don’t know him."
She also narrated after the prophet (May the blessing and peace of God be upon him):
"The prophet used to be in the service of his family and if he hears the call to prayer he goes out (to prayer)." Saheeh Al-Bukhary after A'isha.
Why? Because repeating Athan is obligatory, when it is finished we can continue talking. This is a problem we hope every Muslim in all government offices repeat Athan when they hear it, it is just two minutes and after that we can complete talking again because talking is endless 
but we must repeat Athan.



Performing prayer while wearing shoes

Question:
Is it permissible to perform prayer while wearing shoes at work? And what about wiping on shoes in ablution?
The answer:
It is permissible to perform prayers while wearing shoes in certain cases and places, if the ground is sandy and absorbs dirt or if it isn't clean but not impure.
The Answer:
It isn't allowed to wipe on shoes. It is allowed to wipe on a splint or on socks but not on 
shoes.

Reading the Holy Qur'an a lot


What about a woman who always reads the Holy Qur'an?
The answer:
It's ok, what is the harm in that?
But, if she always makes herself busy reading the Qur'an and doing acts of worship, there is one condition; "This worship shouldn’t make you neglect your duties."
If you are an office clerk, you should go to your work in the morning in good condition by taking enough sleep. If you are married, you should care about the rights of your husband as well as the rights of your children.
This incident happened at the time of the prophet (May the blessing and peace of God be upon him): The Messenger of Allah fraternized between Selman and Abu-Darda. Salman visited Abu-Darda and he saw that his wife didn't care about herself, he asked her; "What is the matter?" She said: "Your brother "Abu-Darda" seeks nothing in this life." Abu-Darda came and offered him some food, Salam asked him to eat with him, he said: "I am fasting." He said: "I wouldn't eat unless you eat with me." So Abu-Darda ate with him. At night Abu-Darda awoke to pray, Selman told him to sleep and he slept, he got up again to pray and Selman told him to sleep so he slept. At the last third of night Selman told Abu-Darda to awake and they both performed prayer. Selman told Abu Darda:
"Your Lord has a right towards you. Your soul has a right towards you and your family has a right towards you, so give each one his due right." The prophet came and Abu-Darda told him what had happened, the prophet (May the blessing and peace of God be upon him) said:" Selman is right." Saheeh Al-Bukhary after Awn Ibn-Abi-Johayfa after his father.


Acts of worship and remembrance during monthly period (menstruation)

Question:
Remembrances sometimes include verses from the Quran, can a woman read these verses in during her monthly period? And how can a Muslim woman remember her Lord during her period?
The answer:
A woman who is menstruating or bleeding after childbirth mustn't perform these acts of worship: Prayer, fasting, reading the Holy Qur'an even if one verse, touching the Qur'an even with a wrapping or a cover, circumambulating (going round) Ka'ba or going into a mosque.
But she can remember Allah, glorify Him, ask His forgiveness and pray upon the Messenger of Allah (May the blessings and peace of Allah be upon him). She can say Subhan Allah, Wal-Hamdulellah, Wla Ilaha Illa Allah, Wallahu Akbar (Glory be to God, praise be to God, there is no God but Allah and Allah is the greatest). She can also say: Astaghfero Allah Al-Azeem (I ask Allah The Greatest for His forgiveness). She can repeat the words of Athan (the call to prayer), she can invocate Allah and say legal remembrances and if they contain any verses from the Quran, she can read it by heart not by the tongue. God says about the Holy Quran:
"A book that is not to be touched except by those who are purified." Surat Al-Wake'a, Verse 79.
