Commentary

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 want to ask about the hadith which says that a time will come when madina will become bleak that is it will become unpopulated. Please provide the hadith and its explanation.

Q: Whilst at a Musjid in Pietermaritzburg recently, I read on the board the following Hadith: “Do not stand until you see me in front of you.” Does this refer to Musallees not standing before the Imam is on his Mussallah? 

Q: What's the hadith about always accepting a gift from another muslim? Does this refer to non mahrams as well?

Q: Are there a group of people whose duas are not accepted?

Q: I read a hadith in muntakab hadith, more or less that a person who reads tasbih faathima after fard salaat won't be disappointed. What's the meaning of this?

Q: What is the interpretation or explanation of the Hadith ( if authentic); Allah Ta'ala will assist the Deen via the Sinner?

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?

Q: A local Aalim in our area said - " Married person will get more reward for all the Islamic activities like - Salaah, Dhikir, Going out in the path of Allah etc. than the unmarried person .... "

Is that true? Is there any references for that kind of Reward for Married person in Qur'an and Authentic or any Weak Hadiths? That Aalim gave a reference like - "whoever gets married, he/she completes the Half of Deen" ... Can this be a reference for the mentioned issue? What does it mean actually? Should a male/female get married soon to receive more rewards for his/her prayers? Or, it has no validity in Islam in the light of Qur'an and Hadiths?
