Commentary

Q: The Hadith says that when you leave something for the sake of Allah then Allah will reward you with something better.

Question 1: Does this mean that if one leaves something e.g. sacrifices his home comfort etc. to go to the musjid or in the path of Allah etc., then as a reward, one will get better then what one has left behind?

Question 2: Does it refer to the case where one leaves something haraam e.g. a sinful deed or haraam food then in reward, one will get better than what one has sacrificed?

Question 3: What is the correct explanation of this Hadith? 

Q: A family member recently heard a lecture in which the speaker made a comment that if you do not think of nabi salaalaahu alaihi wa sallam in your namaaz, your namaaz is invalid. The speaker furhter presented a hadith as his proof in which he only mentioned that a sahaabi was performing namaaz when Nabi (Alaihis Salaam) called him and he failed to reply.

Is there any such hadeeth, if yes, what is the complete hadith with the explanation?

Q: What reward/benefit does one obtain when performing Sunnat Umrah? Will all your sins be forgiven? Are the reward /benefit the same as when one performs the Haj?

Q: I saw the following two hadith:

Our Nabi (Sallallaahu Alayhi wa-Sallam) said: "Do not forgo Salaah intentionally, lest you should get out of the fold of Islam. Do not perpetrate disobedience to Allah, lest you deserve His Wrath."

Rasulullah (Sallallaahu 'alayhi wa-Sallam) also said: "The dividing line between kufr and Imaan is Salaah." And : "A person who has missed one Salaah is like one who has lost all his family and wealth."

1. A person who misses salaah in its time but reads it later does he lose his imaan?
2. Is he still a muslim?
