 Ramadan FAQs: Is Sehri Intention Necessary for Fasting? Islamic Ruling

Ramadan FAQs: Is Sehri Intention Necessary for Fasting? Islamic Ruling

Is Sehri Intention Necessary for Fasting? Islamic Ruling

Is Sehri Intention Necessary for Fasting Islamic Ruling


Question:

If we forget to read the intention of Sehri, can we fast without intention after Sehri?Agar hum Sehri ki niyyat bhool jayein, toh kya hum bina niyyat ke Sehri ke baad roza rakh sakte hain?

Answer by Mufti Muhammad Shaheed:

Islamic fiqh ke mutabiq, niyyat (intention) dil ke irade ka naam hai. Zubani kehna zaroori nahi hai, lekin kehna behtar hai.

Roze Ki Niyyat Ke Bare Mein Aham Baaten:

  1. Niyyat dil mein honi chahiye – Bas yeh sochna ke aaj roza rakhna hai, kaafi hai.

  2. Zubani niyyat farz nahi hai – Agar aap “Maine roza rakhne ki niyyat ki” nahi bhi kahe, toh bhi roza valid hai.

  3. Sehri khana bhi niyyat ka hissa hai – Agar aapne Sehri ki hai, toh iska matlab aapne roza rakhne ki niyyat ki thi.

  4. Niyyat ka waqt:

    • Raat ko kisi bhi waqt Sehri se pehle niyyat kar sakte hain.

    • Agar kisi ne Sehri ke waqt niyyat nahi ki, lekin subah se le kar Zawal (dopehar) se pehle tak kuch nahi khaya-piya, toh wo ab bhi niyyat kar sakta hai.

    • Nafl Roza ke liye niyyat Fajr ke baad bhi ki ja sakti hai, jab tak kuch khaya-piya na ho.

Islamic Hawale (References):

  • Durr-e-Mukhtar: “Niyyat dil mein hoti hai, aur Zawal se pehle tak valid hai.”

  • Bahar-e-Shariat: “Roze ki niyyat Zawal se pehle tak karni chahiye.”

  • Durr-e-Mukhtar: “The place of intention is the heart, and it is valid until before Zawal.”

  • Bahar-e-Shariat: “The intention of fasting should be made before Zawal for it to be valid.”

If you forget to make an explicit intention at Sehri but had the thought of fasting in your heart, your fast is still valid. It is preferable to make the intention before Fajr but can still be made before Zawal if nothing has been consumed.

Dua for a Blessed Fast:

Wa bisawmi ghaddan nawaiytu min shahri ramadan

Translation: "I intend to keep the fast for tomorrow in the month of Ramadan."

Alternatively, another commonly recited dua is:

Navaitu an asuma gadala lilaahi ta aalla min fardi ramadan

May Allah accept our fasts and grant us steadfastness in His worship. Ameen.

Allah Hafiz.

Ramadan FAQs: Isha ki Fardh Namaz Pehle Ya Taraweeh? Islami Fatwa

Ramadan FAQs: Isha ki Fardh Namaz Pehle Ya Taraweeh? Islami Fatwa

Agar Taraweeh shuru ho chuki ho aur ab tak Isha ki Fardh namaz nahi padhi, to kya pehle Taraweeh me shamil hona chahiye ya pehle Isha ki Fardh namaz ada karni chahiye?


Jawab:

Jo shakhs Taraweeh ke waqt aaye, usko pehle Isha ki Fardh namaz aur do Sunnatein ada karni chahiye, uske baad Taraweeh me shamil hona chahiye.

Hazrat Mujaddid-e-Azam, Aalim-e-Ahl-e-Sunnat, Imam Ahmed Raza Khan (RA) ne Fatawa Razawiyyah Jadeed (Jild 7, Safha 544, Sawal 1108) me farmaya hai ke agar Isha ki Fardh namaz ada kiye bagair Taraweeh padhi jaye to ye sahi nahi hoga. Yani, pehle Fardh Isha zaroori hai, uske bagair Taraweeh ada nahi hogi.

Isi tarah Jamiyur Ramooz me bhi likha gaya hai ke agar koi shakhs Taraweeh ki jamaat ke dauraan aaye, to pehle Isha ki Fardh namaz ada kare, phir Taraweeh me shamil ho.

Jab Witr ki jamaat ho rahi ho, to agar kisi ne Isha ki Fardh namaz jamaat se nahi padhi, to usko Witr tanha (akela) padhna hoga.

Fatawa Razawiyyah Jadeed (Jild 7, Safha 468, Sawal 1073) me likha hai ke jo shakhs Isha tanha padhe, wo Taraweeh ki jamaat me shamil ho sakta hai, lekin Witr ki jamaat me shamil nahi ho sakta. Agar kisi ne Isha tanha padhi ho, to usko Witr bhi tanha hi padhna hoga.

Islami Hawale:

๐Ÿ”น Al-Bahrur Ra’iq, Sharh Kanzud Daqa’iq (Jild 2, Safha 75) me Al-Kuniya ke hawale se likha hai:
"Agar kisi ne Isha tanha padhi ho, to usko Taraweeh Imam ke saath padhni chahiye."

๐Ÿ”น Durre Mukhtar (Safha 95) me bhi Al-Kuniya ke hawale se likha hai:
"Agar kisi ne Isha ki namaz tanha padhi ho, to usko Taraweeh ki jamaat me shamil hona chahiye."

Nateejah:

  • Pehle Isha ki Fardh namaz ada karni zaroori hai, uske baad hi Taraweeh padhi jaye.
  • Agar Isha tanha padhi ho, to Taraweeh ki jamaat me shamil ho sakta hai, magar Witr tanha hi padhe.
  • Jisne Isha ki jamaat nahi payi ho, uske liye Witr ki jamaat me shamil hona jayaz nahi.

Allah Ta’ala humein sahih tareeke se namaz aur ibadat karne ki taufeeq ata farmaye. Ameen!

5 Habits That Erase Good Deeds: Protect Your Rewards This Ramadan

5 Habits That Erase Good Deeds: Protect Your Rewards This Ramadan

Are You Sure Your Good Deeds Are Safe This Ramadan?

Think again.
This Ramadan, millions will fast, pray, and give charity, believing they are piling up rewards for the Hereafter. But what if you’re unknowingly erasing all of them?

5 Habits That Erase Good Deeds Protect Your Rewards This Ramadan

Yes, you read that right. There are five deadly sins that can wipe out your good deeds faster than you realize, leaving you spiritually bankrupt. It doesn’t matter how many Taraweeh prayers you perform or how much charity you give – if you fall into these traps, all your efforts could be in vain.

Before you enter this blessed month, find out how to protect your good deeds from these silent destroyers. From the deceptive sweetness of gossip to hidden envy and showing off, we’ll uncover everything you need to know to make your Ramadan truly count.

Don’t let Satan steal your rewards this Ramadan. Let’s dive into the teachings of Islam to understand how to safeguard our good deeds from the five deadly sins that can wipe them out completely. Are you ready to protect your good deeds?


The Importance of Protecting Good Deeds

Good deeds are precious yet vulnerable. Just as we protect our wealth and health, we must safeguard our good deeds from the forces that can nullify them. It’s not enough to perform good deeds; they need constant protection.

Why Protect Good Deeds?

The Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) emphasized:

"If a person does a good deed, he should never doubt its reward. But he must protect it for the rest of his life because the entire army of Satan is behind every good deed."

In today’s world, we insure our valuable possessions against loss. But have you ever thought about insuring your good deeds? Just as physical possessions can be stolen, good deeds can also be erased – and the thief is none other than Satan.

How Can Good Deeds Be Lost?

Through five deadly sins:

  1. Losing Faith (Iman)
  2. The Tongue (Backbiting and Slander)
  3. Envy (Hasad)
  4. Showing Off (Riya)
  5. Reminding of Charity (Mann)

Let’s explore each one with Quranic verses, Hadiths, and powerful stories to understand how to protect our good deeds from these silent destroyers.


1) The First Deadly Sin: Losing Faith (Iman)

Faith (Iman) is the foundation of all good deeds.
Without faith, nothing else matters. But did you know that faith can slip away faster than you realize?

How Can Iman Be Lost?

Iman is lost not just by declaring disbelief but through subtle words or actions. It can be a careless joke, disrespectful statements, or engaging in activities that contradict Islamic beliefs.

Quranic Warning Against Losing Faith:

  • Surah Al-Imran (3:85):

    "And whoever desires other than Islam as religion – never will it be accepted from him, and he, in the Hereafter, will be among the losers."

Hadiths on Losing Iman:

  • The Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) warned:

    "There will come a time when a man will be a believer in the morning and a disbeliever by evening, or a believer in the evening and a disbeliever by morning."

This shows how fragile Iman can be. It’s not enough to simply declare faith – it needs protection through words, actions, and constant remembrance of Allah.

4 Types of People According to Iman:

According to the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH):

  1. Born in Faith, Lived in Faith, Died in Faith – They are blessed.
  2. Born in Disbelief, Lived and Died in Disbelief – They are doomed.
  3. Born in Faith, Died in Disbelief – They lose everything.
  4. Born in Disbelief, Died in Faith – They are saved.

Reflect: Which category do you want to fall into? Faith is not something to take for granted.


2. The Second Deadly Sin: The Tongue – Backbiting (Gheebat) and Slander

The Power and Danger of the Tongue

The tongue can bless or curse, uplift or humiliate, bring joy or cause hurt. In Islam, the consequences of harmful speech are severe.

Backbiting (Gheebat) and Its Consequences

Backbiting is talking behind someone’s back about something that is true but would hurt them if they heard it. Even if it’s true, it’s still Gheebat. If it's false, it becomes slander (Buhtan).

Hadiths on Backbiting:

  • Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) said:

    "Al Gheebatu Ashaddu min az-Zina" ("Backbiting is worse than adultery.")

    • Why? Because adultery, though a major sin, can be forgiven by Allah upon sincere repentance. However, backbiting requires forgiveness from the person you spoke about before Allah will forgive you.
    • Imagine: Years of prayers, charity, and fasting wiped away by a few careless words!

3. The Third Deadly Sin: Envy (Hasad)

What is Envy?

Envy is feeling pain or resentment at someone else's blessings. It’s not just wishing for the same but wishing they lose it.

Hadith on Envy:

  • Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) warned:

    "Iyyakum wal Hasad, fa'innal Hasada ya'kulul hasanaat kama ta'kulun naaru al-hatab"
    ("Beware of envy, for envy eats up good deeds just as fire consumes wood.")

Reflect: Do you celebrate others' success, or does it secretly bother you? Remember, envy harms you more than anyone else.


4. The Fourth Deadly Sin: Showing Off (Riya / Dikhawa)

What is Riya / Dhikhawa?

Riya is performing good deeds to be seen and praised by others rather than for the sake of Allah. It’s a subtle but deadly form of hypocrisy.

Hadith on Showing Off:

  • Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) said:

    "On the Day of Judgment, those who performed deeds to show off will be told to seek their reward from those they were trying to impress."


5. The Fifth Deadly Sin: Reminding of Charity (Sadaka)

What is Mann?

Mann is when someone gives charity but later reminds the recipient to make them feel grateful or indebted.

Quranic Warning Against Mann:

  • Surah Al-Baqarah (2:264):

    "O you who believe! Do not invalidate your charities with reminders of your generosity or hurtful words, like one who spends his wealth only to be seen by people."

Reflect: Do you give charity for Allah or to boost your ego?


Ready to Safeguard Your Good Deeds?

Share this article to protect your loved ones from the deadly sins that erase good deeds. Let’s safeguard our good deeds together and strive for Paradise by guarding our tongues.

May Allah grant us the wisdom and discipline to guard our tongues and protect our good deeds. Ameen!

 Is Qiyam (Standing) Mandatory in Sunnah and Taraweeh Prayers?

Is Qiyam (Standing) Mandatory in Sunnah and Taraweeh Prayers?

Question: Is it true that Qiyam (standing) is not obligatory for Sunnah prayers? Can Sunnah prayers be offered while sitting without a valid excuse? Similarly, can Taraweeh prayers be performed while sitting due to fatigue?

This question was asked by Irfan Raza Sahib from Maharashtra, India and is answered by Mufti Muhammad Shahid Barakati, a renowned scholar of Islamic jurisprudence.





Understanding the Obligation of Qiyam in Sunnah Prayers

In Islamic jurisprudence, the question of whether standing (Qiyam) is mandatory for Sunnah prayers often arises. Many believers wonder if they can perform Sunnah prayers while sitting, especially without a valid excuse. This article explores the scholarly consensus on this issue, particularly in relation to Taraweeh prayers during Ramadan.

Mufti Muhammad Shahid Barakati provides a detailed explanation based on authoritative Islamic texts, shedding light on the significance of Qiyam in Sunnah and voluntary (Nafl) prayers.

When is Qiyam Mandatory in Sunnah Prayers?

For specific Sunnah prayers such as the Sunnah of Fajr, Eid-ul-Fitr, and Eid-ul-Adha, Qiyam is obligatory. This means that these prayers must be performed while standing unless there is a genuine physical inability or excuse. Performing them while sitting without an excuse is not permissible.

However, for other Sunnah prayers, praying while sitting is allowed but is considered Makruh (disliked). According to Islamic scholars, choosing to sit without necessity reduces the reward of the prayer. If a person performs a Nafl prayer while sitting without an excuse, they will receive only half the reward compared to praying while standing.

The Ruling on Taraweeh Prayers

Taraweeh is a special Sunnah prayer performed during Ramadan. The majority of scholars agree that standing is strongly encouraged and should not be omitted without a valid excuse. Some scholars equate Taraweeh’s ruling to that of the Sunnah of Fajr, meaning that it should not be performed while sitting without necessity.

Islamic texts such as Durre Mukhtar and Fatawa Shami highlight that Qiyam in Taraweeh has a strong emphasis. It is stated that offering Taraweeh while sitting is akin to resembling the hypocrites, as indicated in Surah An-Nisa (4:142), which criticizes those who stand for prayer sluggishly.

Scholarly Opinions and References

Islamic jurists have debated whether offering Taraweeh while sitting is completely impermissible or merely disliked.

  • Hanafi View: Imam Abu Hanifa and his student Imam Muhammad bin Hassan state that performing Taraweeh while sitting without an excuse is not permissible.

  • Fatawa Hindia & Fatawa Alamgiri: These texts mention that while some scholars allow it, the reward is significantly reduced.

  • Fatawa Razaviya: Imam Ahmad Raza Khan clarifies that the majority of scholars agree that offering Taraweeh while sitting is discouraged.

Importance of Standing in Taraweeh

The core purpose of Taraweeh is spiritual purification and devotion during Ramadan. Standing in prayer signifies humility, submission, and dedication to Allah. Scholars emphasize that while some allowances exist, standing should always be prioritized for greater spiritual rewards.

Conclusion: Should You Sit for Sunnah or Taraweeh?

In summary:

  • Sunnah prayers of Fajr and Eid require Qiyam.

  • Other Sunnah prayers can be performed while sitting, but this is disliked and reduces the reward.

  • Taraweeh should ideally be performed while standing. Tiredness alone is not considered a valid excuse.

While flexibility exists in voluntary prayers, the ideal practice is to stand whenever possible, as this ensures full reward and aligns with the best practices of the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him).
