Introduction
Allah Ta’ala has afforded His servants certain selected opportunities whereby they may reap His infinite mercy and forgiveness. Some examples of these occasions are the month of Ramadhaan and Laylatul Qadr. The night of the 15th of Sha’baan is also one such opportunity.
Several Ahaadith explain the tremendous merit of this occasion. Amongst them is the fact that countless people are forgiven by Allah Ta’ala during this blessed night. It is due to this reason that it is called ‘The Night of Bara’ah’ (i.e. the night wherein judgment of salvation from Jahannam is passed). It is a special night in which the people of the earth are looked upon by special divine mercy.
Allah Ta’ala blesses us with this opportunity to prepare and cleanse ourselves before the blessed month of Ramadhaan arrives.
Virtues of this night
Rasulullah [sallallahu alayhi wasallam] said, ‘This is the middle night of Sha’baan. Allah Ta’ala looks upon His slaves in this night and forgives those who seek forgiveness and bestows His mercy upon those who make dua for mercy but leaves out those who have
Child Afraid to Sleep
Question:
Assalaamu ‘alaikum
Respected ‘Ulama
Kindly advise me.
My son is nine years old. He is a very sensitive boy. He has lately become very scared to sleep at night. He wants me to stay in the room after I have read evening du‘aas and wait for him to sleep. Some nights, he doesn’t sleep, and when I go back to my room, he cries and cries, either to sleep on the floor by me or for me to come and lie with him. Most days, I am very patient and calm. I tell him to read his durood or surahs that he knows, to talk to Allah, not to be afraid of not falling asleep.
My husband, on the other hand, gets very frustrated with him. He believes that I should just leave him and go to sleep, especially since I end up sleeping so late because of this. He shouts at our son and tells him that he is a big boy, he must just sleep. My husband blames me for my son’s behaviour.
I’m not sure what to do. I feel like my son is just like how my sister was when we were growing up. Being a scared child was horrible for her. She had to hold my hand when we were little in order to sleep, and I feel that with my son, being harsh isn’t going to help him cope. Please help. What can I do?
Jazakallah

Solace in Sickness
Influenza, pneumonia, TB, bronchitis… There are thousands of diseases in existence, and every disease brings some form of discomfort, inconvenience and pain to a person. Hence, no person wishes or desires to be afflicted by disease. In the hadeeth as well, Rasulullah (sallallahu ‘alaihi wasallam) has taught us to seek protection from illnesses and diseases.
Nevertheless, if Allah Ta‘ala has decreed sickness for a person, then together with making du‘aa for shifaa (cure), one should immediately hold firmly onto sabr while hoping for and anticipating the immense rewards that are promised in the ahaadeeth for those who patiently tolerate sickness without complaint. Some of these ahaadeeth are:
- Hazrat Abu Hurairah (radhiyallahu ‘anhu) reports that Rasulullah (sallallahu ‘alaihi wasallam) said,
Many of us have friends or family who plan on getting the vaccine. Maybe they truly believe they are in danger. Maybe they think it’s better safe than sorry. Maybe they just want to be able to go to the pub again.
If you know someone who is planning on getting vaccinated against Covid19, ask them these five questions. Make sure they understand exactly what they’re asking for.
1. DID YOU KNOW THAT WE HAVE NEVER SUCCESSFULLY VACCINATED AGAINST ANY CORONAVIRUS..?
No successful vaccine against a coronavirus has ever been developed.
Scientists have been trying to develop a SARS and MERS vaccine for years, with nothing to show for it. In fact, some of the failed SARS vaccines actually caused hypersensitivity to the SARS virus. Meaning that vaccinated mice could potentially get the disease more severely than unvaccinated mice.
2. DID YOU KNOW IT USUALLY TAKES 5 - 10 YEARS TO FULLY DEVELOP A VACCINE..?
Vaccine development is a slow, laborious process. Usually, from development through testing
The Difference between the Ahl-us-Sunnah wal-Jamaa‘ah and the Shias Regarding the Qur’aan
The distinguishing characteristic of Islam, compared to all other religions of the past, is the aspect of authenticity and reliability. Every detail of Islam has been accurately and precisely preserved from the very inception of wahi (revelation) up to this day.
Fourteen centuries have passed, yet the Holy Qur’aan has remained to this day in its original form without the minutest alteration. Let alone a verse of the Qur’aan Majeed, not even a single letter has been distorted or changed. Furthermore, its preservation is not limited to the scrolls and pages; instead it is securely safeguarded in the recesses of the hearts of even little children of this ummah, and this preservation will remain until Qiyaamah.
Clarity on the Issue of Photography
By Hadhrat Mufti Ahmad Khanpuri Saheb
A great and terrible fitna of this time is picture taking.Nowadays the sickness of taking photos is very common in social gatherings, conferences and even in the Haramain Sharifayn. This fitna has become so common that no matter how much one tries to save himself from it, he cannot. This sin has become so common that people do not even consider it a sin anymore. This time of fitna has made the bad appear as good.
In Islam, aside from a dire need, photography is prohibited. In the hadith shareef, those that take photos have been severely condemned and upon such people is Allah's curse. Such people will be severely punished on the Day of Judgment [Qiyamah]
In the Name of Islam
by Hazrat Maulana Yunus Patel Saheb (rahmatullah alayh)
There is a sickness in society which has now reached epidemic proportions. It is so serious that it requires a repetition in its warnings to drive the point home.
Fitnahs abound, and the worst and most dangerous fitnah is that which takes the form and garb of Deen.
In the name and guise of Deen, Muslims are being invited to ‘Fund-raising’ programmes, lunches, dinners, pre-Ramadaan and Eid Fairs. Funds are being raised for Deeni projects in this manner.
The context of these programmes is ‘Fun’and ‘Entertainment’which entails socializing. The Muslim is encouraged to bring along wife, daughters, mother and sisters.
Since this is in the name of Deen, people consider it as Ibaadah (worship), something virtuous. …One can gauge how serious the matter is.
IMPORTANCE OF SALAAT
On the occasion of Hadhrat Umar’s assassination by the fire-worshipper, Lu’Lu’, he (Hadhrat Umar) had just commenced the Takbeer of Fajr Salaat when the evil mushrik plunged his poisonous dagger several times into the body of Ameerul Mu’mineen. As he was about to lapse into unconsciousness, he indicate to Hadhrat Abdur Rahmaan Bin Auf to lead the Salaat. He then lost consciousness.
Hadhrat Abdur Rahmaan (radhiyallahu anhu) shortened the Salaat by reciting Surah Asr and
SOME RULES OF SALAAT
YOUR SHOULDERS
Rasulullah (sallallahu alayhi wasallam) said:
"Straighten the sufoof (Salaat rows), line up the shoulders, close the gaps and become tender in the hands of your brother. Do not leave any gaps for shaitaan. Whoever joins (i.e. makes compact) the saff, Allah will join him (i.e. have special mercy on him). And, whoever cuts the saff, Allah will cut him." (Bukhaari, Abu Dawood, etc.)
The saff (row) should be absolutely straight and compact. Lining up the shoulders means that the shoulders of the musallis should physically touch. There should be no gap whatsoever between the shoulders of two musallis, not even a gap of one finger. The shoulders must physically touch. Any gap, no matter how slight, is occupied by shaitaan.
Q: How can my marriage be infused with love?
A: The Holy Qur’aan has offered a beautiful reply in just one Divine Word: RAHM.
Says Allah: “And he has created RAHM and LOVE between you”.
From the above, we learn that the quality of RAHM (Mercy) leads to Love.
RAHM means to have Mercy.
If the husband has mercy upon his wife, she will love him. Mercy means
The Rank of the Repentant
There was once a butcher who fell in love with a slave girl belonging to one of his neighbours. One day, his neighbours sent their slave girl to another village on some errand. (Realizing that she would be travelling alone, he saw an opportunity to meet her and) so he followed her and tried to seduce her.
She said to him, “Do not do this! I actually love you more than you even love me – but I am afraid of Allah Ta‘ala (so I am not prepared to commit this sin with you)!” (Hearing these words, the butcher was instantly affected and) he exclaimed, “You fear Allah Ta‘ala whereas I do not fear Him!” So he returned while repenting to Allah Ta‘ala.
Thereafter (as the butcher was traveling), he became very thirsty,
My investigation of the so-called COVID deaths
At this point, I’ve written and published over 150 articles on the COVID fraud.
For every major assertion I make in the following overview, I’ve written at least one article.
To sum it up: deaths labeled “COVID” have nothing to do with the purported virus.
PROBLEMS WITH REFERRINGTO QURAN AND HADITH DIRECTLY PART 1
If one who is not a mujtahid, refers to the Qur’an and Hadith directly in order to extract shar’ee laws and find solutions to his problems, he will land himself in clear disaster and encounter many difficulties. It is akin to an ignorant layman trying to find a solution to legal or medical issues by directly referring to the sources. He is bound to misunderstand many fundamental issues and bring great disaster upon himself. Let us examine some of the problems he will encounter:
THE FIRST PROBLEM
The first problem is that some people will begin to consider themselves as mujtahids. They will refer to translations of the Qur’aan and the books of Hadith (such as the translations of Saheeh Bukhaari, Saheeh Muslim, etc,). Subsequently, they will arrive at their own incorrect conclusions. This is undoubtedly detrimental not only to their own Deen, but also equally destructive to the Deen of the general public. Nabi (Sallallahu Alayhi Wasallam) foretold the coming of such crucial times where people will confine the truth to their own logic and they will shun all emulation of the pious predecessors. Hence, he is reported to have said that from amongst the signs of Qiyaamah:
Treatment towards one’s wife
Mohammed Desai
In the Quraan Sharif Allah Ta'ala states,
خلق الانسان ضعيفا
The human being has been created weak
In Tafseer Roohul Ma’aani Allama Aaloosi R.A states that the male is weak in regards to the matters of women to such an extent that women are able to swipe men completely off their feet in-spite of his intelligence and abilities.
Another weakness that man has is that he is is unable to exercise patience over her deficiencies. He will always find fault with her and yell at her but at the same time he is unable to live without her. In the Hadith Rasulullah Salallahu Alaihi Wasallam is reported to have said, “There is no goodness in women.” This actually means that you will not be able to find a woman that is 100% perfect, there will be some deficiency in her, thus you will have to exercise patience with her.
Nowadays many items are manufactured from plastic. If we treat those items as we treat items manufactured of metal then we will break it, as plastic is unable to endure that which solid metal is able to endure. Similarly women
Bismihi Ta’Aala
Allāh ‘Azza Wa Jal, by His Infinite Grace and Mercy has over the years blessed the Muslim Ummah of South Africa with many committed individuals, illustrious ‘Ulamā and community organizations that served the Ummah and the broader society with dedication and distinction.
Our distinguished ‘Ulamā, in particular, made great effort and sacrifice to protect and preserve the letter and spirit of the Dīn to ensure its transmission to subsequent generations in as pure and pristine a state as possible. May Allāh Ta’ālā reward all of them abundantly and imbue the present generation of ‘Ulamā and servants of Dīn with the strength and ability to preserve and further develop upon the sound foundations laid by our illustrious predecessors.
Alḥamdulillāh, after extensive deliberation and consultation, the senior ‘Ulamā of our country have resolved to form an organization having the principal objectives of preserving and promoting the Dīn in its pure and pristine form. The formation of this organization was in response to the fervent appeals of many individuals within the ‘Ulamā fraternity and the general Muslim community seeking clear Shar’ī guidance in matters of Dīn in an era of escalating trials, tribulations and challenges.
The fundamental objectives of the newly formed organization include the following:

ANSWER
السلام عليكم ورحمة الله وبركاته
Bismihi Ta'ala
In the short clip below, Hazrat Moulana Abdul Hamid Sahib daamat barakatuhu mentions about social distancing, sanitising and other influences and plots against Islam and the Muslims
STRAIGHT TALK
Following on our previous message to UUCSA/Bham supporters we give you an update on the facts of reality.
Qalamul Haq contacted Ebrahim Bham to have some informal discussions to try and see what can be done by opposing parties in the best interest of The Ummat. (UUCSA and anti-UUCSA)
We received a response only after I sent a voice clip explaining that we should engage in some dialogue to try and see if we can get somewhere in the interest of the Ummat and our Deen.
Correspondences were sent before this as well.
Bham asked for some time to make Mashura, and wanted to know how/where we can meet etc.
I responded, followed up…
SILENCE FROM HIS SIDE
We then took a Mashura
While we are all so elated that the Masaajid have been re-opened, there are some stringent conditions that have been imposed on the Muslims. We thus give our advice to Imaams and Musallees.
Almighty Allah has power over (is in control of, decides) all things. (al-Qur'aan)
It was not the government that closed the Masaajid, it was Almighty Allah who closed His houses to us because we disrespected and ignored them.
It was not UUCSA that had a mandate to speak for us when they opposed the opening of Musaajid, it was the most powerful Allah who appointed wayward munaafiqs to do that because we have remained silent while they changed the Sharia.
Lockdown
Daily we recite or hear the proclamation of the Greatness and Power of Allah Ta‘ala more than a hundred times. In the azaan, salaah and at other times, we keep repeating ALLAHU AKBAR... ALLAHU AKBAR ... ALLAHU AKBAR. This is a constant reminder throughout the day that ALLAH TA‘ALA IS THE GREATEST. He Alone controls everything and has total qudrat and power over every minute particle.
Presently, Allah Ta‘ala’s qudrat (absolute power and control) is being manifested through a microscopic virus which has brought most of the world to almost a standstill. Subhaanallah! Pure is that Being to Whom belongs the entire universe. He Alone is the creator of every living being and every inanimate object. He causes the sun to rise and the moon to shine. Glory be to Allah Ta‘ala who gives life and death and Who will resurrect everyone on the Day of Judgement.
Viruses and Plagues
Allah Ta‘ala is the Creator of viruses and plagues. Plagues are a punishment from Allah Ta‘ala for those who reject Him and a mercy for the true Believers (who gain the rank of a martyr if it causes them to pass away). (Musnad Ahmad #8305)
As many parts of the world go into “Lockdown”, it is a time to reflect: What has locked us down? Has the virus
