OUR SUCCESSS IN THIS WORLD AND AAKHIRAT LIES IN OBEYING THE COMMANDMENTS OF ALLAH AND THE FOLLOWING THE MUBAARAK LIFESTYLE OF NABI ALAYHIS SALAATU WAS SALAAM

This statement is Haq and echoes a century later what Hazrat Moulana Ilyas Rahmatullahi Alay stood and worked for.
Social distancing in Salaat is the opposition of an emphasised Sunnah. If we were to subscribe to the above statement then it would be hypocrisy of the highest level to make mock Salaat with social distancing.
One would be better of making Salaat alone in the Musjid or in Jamaat at home with their families if faced with this situation.

But the lovers of Sunnat, the followers of Sunnat, the proponents of Sunnah can never practice such a practice that goes against anything that is Sunnah. Moreso and emphasised Sunnah.

Through this Sunnah Allah Ta’Aala unites hearts. Nabi Alayhis Salatu Was salaam had warned that failure to uphold this Sunnah will cause the Shayateen to cause to discord and disunity in the Ummat.

The Sahaaba Radiallahu Anhum Ajmaeen stood like an iron wall in Salaat in all circumstances including plagues. They NEVER compromised this Sunnah or found Fatwa to go against this Sunnah. Hazrat Muaadh Bin Jabal, the Sahaaba who was most well versed in Halaal And Haraam did not consider such an abomination.

SO DOES OUR SUCCESS LIE IN FOLLOWING THE STATEMENT IN THE TITLE OF THIS LITTLE MESSAGE OR IN FINDING WAYS TO COMPROMISE ON IT? THE POWER OF SUNNAH IS EMITOMISED IN SHAQAL QAMR-ONE MUBAARAK FINGER SPLIT THE MOON. WHAT CAN BE SAID OF A SUNNAH THAT HE ALAYHIS SALAAM EMPHASISED AND INSTRUCTED WITH SUCH EMPHASIS THAT SAHAABA USED TO WAIT FOR SAFFS TO BE STRAIGHT AND NO CENTIMETRE OF DISTANCING BEFORE COMMENCING SALAAT?

May Allah Ta’Aala guide and protect us all and protect our Imaan. Wallah, Imaan and ONE Sunnah is more precious than life. They say “Save lives”; We say “Save Sunnah”.

COVID 19 POSITIVE ATTENDING MASAAJID

1. If one is diagnosed with Covid, should he isolate and read his salaah at home, or should he go to the masjid if he is affected mildly (i.e. body strength, very light cough, and fever, minor difficulty in breathing, etc.)?

2. If a person who is Covid positive and goes to the masjid and the other musallis are aware that he is positive, will he then be sinful for inconveniencing Muslim brothers as unfortunately not everyone is comfortable being around the sick these days?

1. He should go to the musjid. This does not prevent him from attending the musjid. To avoid any harassment he may do the fardh in the musjid, and read the sunnat and nafl at home, and he should not make it known to others.

2. It is not a reason for them to feel uncomfortable. They may perform namaaz at the other end of the musjid.

And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.

MASK SOCIAL DISTANCE SALAH

QUESTION
Is salaat valid when performed in congregation wearing a mask and social distancing at the local mosque?

ANSWER
Social distancing is directly against the emphasised teaching of Rasulullah (sallallahu alaihi wa sallam). And people who are generally required to put on masks, they normally drop down the masks to below the lips and then perform the namaaz.

Making the Most of Our Time

Hazrat Moulana Ashraf Ali Thanwi (rahmatullahi ‘alaih) once mentioned:

Every action of a person, whether relating to Deen or dunya, if analyzed on the surface, can be divided into one of three categories. The first category of actions are those actions which bring benefit to a person, the second category of actions are those actions which bring harm and loss to a person, and the third category of actions are those actions that neither bring benefit nor harm to a person.

However, if one has to carefully ponder over these three categories of actions, one will realize that
