Lesson 2 - Hadeeth 2 Of Nawawi 40 - Jibreel Part 1

1. When we say the shahaadah, why do we combine saying "Laa ilaaha ill allaah" (There is nothing worthy of worship except Allaah) with saying "Muhammad ur rasool ullaah" (Muhammad is the Messenger of Allaah)?

It is both Allaah and the Messenger (sall Allaahu alaihi wa sallam) whom we must worship

We should love the Messenger (sall Allaahu alaihi wa sallam) more than we love Allaah

Allaah and the Messenger (sall Allaahu alaihi wa sallam) are one and the same person

The answer states that no act of worship is complete unless it is done in the way that the Prophet (sall Allaahu alaihi wa sallam) taught us. This is because the Prophet (sall Allaahu alaihi wa sallam) is the Messenger of Allaah and he received guidance from Allaah on how to worship Him. Therefore, by combining the shahaadah with the statement "Muhammad ur rasool ullaah," we acknowledge the importance of following the teachings and example of the Prophet (sall Allaahu alaihi wa sallam) in our worship.

2. Establishing the prayer is a pillar of Islaam. But what does it mean?

To do the prayer next to the pillars in the mosque

To perform it properly as it has been described in the Qur-aan and in the authentic hadeeths

Building pillars in the mosque

Making sure that you pray all five prayers in one go at the end of the day

To pray exactly as the imaam of your local masjid prays

It involves understanding the proper postures, recitations, and actions during the prayer and adhering to them with sincerity and devotion.

بَيْنَمَا نَحْنُ جُلُوسٌ عِنْدَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه و سلم ذَاتَ يَوْمٍ

إذْ طَلَعَ عَلَيْنَا رَجُلٌ

شَدِيدُ بَيَاضِ الثِّيَابِ، شَدِيدُ سَوَادِ الشَّعْرِ لَا يُرَى عَلَيْهِ أَثَرُ السَّفَرِ، وَلَا يَعْرِفُهُ مِنَّا أَحَدٌ

حَتَّى جَلَسَ إلَى النَّبِيِّ صلى الله عليه و سلم

. فَأَسْنَدَ رُكْبَتَيْهِ إلَى رُكْبَتَيْهِ، وَوَضَعَ كَفَّيْهِ عَلَى فَخْذَيْهِ

وَقَالَ: يَا مُحَمَّدُ أَخْبِرْنِي عَنِ الْإِسْلَامِ

فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه و سلم

الْإِسْلَامُ أَنْ تَشْهَدَ أَنْ لَا إلَهَ إلَّا اللَّهُ وَأَنَّ مُحَمَّدًا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ، وَتُقِيمَ الصَّلَاةَ، وَتُؤْتِيَ الزَّكَاةَ، وَتَصُومَ رَمَضَانَ، وَتَحُجَّ الْبَيْتَ إنْ اسْتَطَعْت إلَيْهِ سَبِيلًا

7. When explaining the words in the hadeeth relating to the Hajj, Shaykh al Uthaymeen quotes part of the Quraan: "So have taqwaa (be mindful of the commands and prohibitions) of Allaah as much as you are able to." (Soorah At Taghaabun, 64:16) This is the proof that establishes a key principle which is not just relevant for Hajj. What is that principle?

Allaah likes to restrict a person's ability to perform good deeds

It is not prohibited when there is a necessity

Actions are only in accordance with the intentions behind them

An action of worship is not obligatory unless you have the ability to do it

The principle established by the quoted Quranic verse is that an action of worship is not obligatory unless you have the ability to do it. This means that one is only obligated to perform acts of worship that they are capable of doing. It emphasizes the importance of being mindful of one's limitations and not burdening oneself with actions that they are unable to fulfill.

8. The zakaah (obligatory payment of wealth) can only be given to 8 causes mentioned in soorah At Tawbah of the Quraan. (Not all those eligible for zakaah payment are poor so "charity" is not the best translation for the zakaah!) Which 3 of these causes are NOT covered in the list of 8?
