🔺The correct way to do sajdah according to the Sunnah🔺 | Asma bint Shameem

🔺1. Sajdah is done on SEVEN bones.  🍃The Prophet sal Allaahu Alayhi wa sallam said: “I have been commanded to prostrate on seven bones: on the forehead,” and he pointed to his nose, “and on the two hands, the two knees and the edges of the two feet (i.e., the toes).” (al-Bukhaari, 812; Muslim, 490) So it is really important that we pay attention to this and make sure that we do sajdah on all seven parts.  This is so important that, if someone doesn’t prostrate on all of these seven parts, although he’s able to, then some of the scholars even say that his sajdah is not valid.  🍃Shaykh Ibn ‘Uthaymeen said:  “It is not permissible for a worshipper to lift up any of these seven parts of the body when prostrating, because the Prophet Sal Allaahu Alaiyhi wa Sallam said:  “I have been commanded to prostrate on seven bones: on the forehead,” and he pointed to his nose, “and on the two hands, the two knees and the edges of the two feet (i.e., the toes).” Narrated by al-Bukhaari, 812; Muslim,

🌸 Friday Series 🌸 by Asma bint Shameem

  🌿 If a woman is praying at home on a Friday afternoon by herself, should she pray Jumu’ah or should she pray Dhuhr?🌿 First of all, Jumu’ah is not obligatory on women or those (men and women) who are sick, or traveling, etc.  🍃ً The Prophet sal Allaahu Alayhi wa sallam said:  “Jumu’ah is a duty that is required of every Muslim in congregation except four: a slave, a woman, a child or a sick person.” (Abu Dawood (1067); saheeh by al-Albaani)  Secondly, Jumu’ah is ONLY VALID in congregation at the masjid.  It is NOT valid at home.  So if you MISSED going to the masjid on Friday afternoon for some reason, then you MUST pray DHUHR.  It is NOT VALID for you to pray Jumu’ah at home.  🍃 Shaikh Ibn Baaz said: “ If a man does not attend Jumu’ah due to a legitimate excuse such as sickness and so on, or for some other reason, he should pray Dhuhr. Similarly a woman should pray Dhuhr.  Travelers and desert dwellers should also pray Dhuhr, as is indicated by the Sunnah, because during the Fare

🌷 Allaah’s Greatest Name (al-Ism al-Aadham)🌷 | Asma bint Shameem

  🍃 Allaah Subhaanahu wa Ta’aala says: “And to Allaah belongs the most beautiful names, so call on Him by them.” [Surah al-Aa’raaf:180] All of Allaah’s Names are Most Excellent and His Attributes are Perfect and Sublime.  And we should make duaa using these Beautiful Names and call upon our Rabb with using them.  But of these Beautiful Names is That One Special Name that is the Greatest Name of Allaah Subhaanahu wa Ta’aala (al-Ism al-Aadham). And if one calls upon Allaah with that Name, his duaas would be accepted, and if one asks with it, he would be answered.  🍃1️⃣ Anas radhi Allaahu anhu said that he was sitting with the Messenger of Allaah Sal Allaahu Alaiyhi wa Sallam and a man was praying then he said in supplication:  ‎اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَسْأَلُكَ بِأَنَّ لَكَ الْحَمْدُ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا أَنْتَ الْمَنَّانُ بَدِيعُ السَّمَوَاتِ وَالْأَرْضِ يَا ذَا الْجَلَالِ وَالْإِكْرَامِ يَا حَيُّ يَا قَيُّومُ " “O Allaah, I ask You by virtue of the fact that all praise is due to You; th

  We all make mistakes.  But Alhamdulillaah, Allaah is Most Forgiving and Most Merciful.  He provides us opportunities upon opportunities to seek pardon and have our sins forgiven.  One of those opportunities is  “Salaat at-Taubah”.  When one of us sins, we should repent right away and pray two rak’ah prayer with the intention of making sincere taubah to Allaah Subhaanahu wa Ta’aala.  🌷The Prophet sal Allaahu Alayhi wa sallam said: “ There is no one who commits a sin then purifies himself well and stands and prays two rak’ahs, then asks Allaah for forgiveness, but Allaah will forgive him.” (Abu Dawood—saheeh by al-Albaani) 🍃 HOW TO PRAY Salaat at-Taubah? Salaat at-Taubah is a two rakaah prayer and prayed just like any other prayer.  There are no ‘ special ways’ to read it and NO specific surahs or  adhkaar to be recited.  Just make wudhu then read two rak’aat with the intention of making taubah, regretting what you did from the bottom of your heart and having firm resolve never to re

🌷 Salaat al-Janaazah🌷 | Asma bint Shameem

  Salaat al-Janazah is the funeral prayer that is read when a Muslim passes away.  Praying Salaat al-Janazah is a fardh kifaayah.  That means that if a few in the community pray it, then the rest of the community is absolved of it’s obligation.  But if no one does it, then the whole community is sinful.  It is the deceased person’s right as a Muslim that we pray this Salaat over him, even if had committed major sins.  And this is a source of great reward for the one who reads it.  🌿The Prophet Sal Allaahu Alaiyhi wa Sallam said: "Whoever attends a funeral until he offers the (funeral) prayer will have one qiraat (of reward) and whoever attends until the burial is done will have two qiraats."  It was said: "What are the two qiraats?"  He said: "Like two great mountains." (al-Bukhaari, Muslim) 🔵 How to read Salaat al-Janazah Salaat al-Janazah is read quietly and has four takbeeraat.  There are no rukoo or sujood and when the Imaam leads the people, the men
