Salatul Eid and Salatul Jumu'ah on the same day!

BISMILLAAHIR RAHMAANIR RAHEEM

As salaamu alaikum wa rahmatullahi w barakatuhu wa maghfiratuh! According to the following ahadith a person having performed salatul Eid can choice to perform or not to perform salatul Jumu'ah. The imam should perform salatul Jumu'ah for those who missed salatul Eid and for those who did not miss it but wish to perform salatul Jumu'ah, Allah alim!

Fiqh us-Sunnah (vol. 2, page 145)

Salatul Jumu'ah and Salatul 'Id occurring on the same day: "If the day of 'Id occurs on Jumu'ah, then salatul Jumu'ah is no longer an obligation upon those who performed the salatul 'Id.

"Zaid ibn Arqam says: "The Prophet sallallahu alehi wasallam prayed the salatul 'id and then he gave an exemption concerning the Jumu'ah, saying: 'Whoever wishes to pray it may pray it.'" This is related by the five and al-Hakim. Ibn Khuzaimah calls it sahih.

Abu Hurairah reports that the prophet sallallahu alehi wasallam said: "Two festivals have occurred together on this day of yours. For whosoever desires, this will suffice for his salatul Jumu'ah, but we are going to perform salatul Jumu'ah." This is related by Abu Dawud.

It is preferred for the imam to perform the Jumu'ah so anyone who wishes to perform it may do so as well as those who were not able to attend the 'id prayer. The Prophet sallallahu alehi wasallam said: "We are going to perform the salatul Jumu'ah."

According to the Hanbali school, the zuhr is obligatory upon anyone who does not attend the salatul Jumu'ah because he has performed the 'id prayer. Nevertheless, it apparently is not obligatory as there is a hadith in Sunan Abu Dawud in which Ibn az-Zubair says: "'Id and Jumu'ah occurred on the same day so he joined them and prayed two rak'at at an early time, and did not add anything to it until 'asr."

Commentary:

Allah (SWT) is extremely Merciful and He does not put His man through unnecessary difficulty to practice the Deen! He (SWT) requires the Muslims to attend Jumu'ah, which has the khutbah; He (SWT), also, requires Muslims to attend Salatul Eid which has the khutbah! When they both are on the same day this could cause a hardship on many who try to attend both, so, alhamdulillah He (SWT) has given a choice if one has a problem attending both khutbahs,that is, to attend Salatul Eid only.

There is no abrogating any congregational salah! Salatul Jumu'ah must still be held! Note: if one choices not to attend Salatul Jumu'ah then they must pray Salatul Zuhr! Ma'a salaam!

Prophet Muhammad`s (PBUH) Farewell Sermon

This sermon was delivered by Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) [Peace Be Upon Him] on the Ninth Day of Dhul Hijjah 10 A.H. in the 'Uranah valley of Mount Arafat' (in Mecca).

After praising, and thanking Allah he said:

"O People, lend me an attentive ear, for I know not whether after this year, I shall ever be amongst you again. Therefore listen to what I am saying to you very carefully and TAKE THESE WORDS TO THOSE WHO COULD NOT BE PRESENT HERE TODAY.

O People, just as you regard this month, this day, this city as Sacred, so regard the life and property of every Muslim as a sacred trust. Return the goods entrusted to you to their rightful owners. Hurt no one so that no one may hurt you. Remember that you will indeed meet your Lord, and that He will indeed reckon your deeds. ALLAH has forbidden you to take usury (interest), therefore all interest obligation shall henceforth be waived. Your capital, however, is yours to keep. You will neither inflict nor suffer any inequity. Allah has Judged that there shall be no interest and that all the interest due to Abbas ibn 'Abd'al Muttalib (Prophet's uncle) shall henceforth be waived...

Beware of Satan, for the safety of your religion. He has lost all hope that he will ever be able to lead you astray in big things, so beware of following him in small things.

O People, it is true that you have certain rights with regard to your women, but they also have rights over you. Remember that you have taken them as your wives only under Allah's trust and with His permission. If they abide by your right then to them belongs the right to be fed and clothed in kindness. Do treat your women well and be kind to them for they are your partners and committed helpers. And it is your right that they do not make friends with any one of whom you do not approve, as well as never to be unchaste.

O People, listen to me in earnest, worship Allah, say your five daily prayers (Salah), fast during the month of Ramadan, and give your wealth in Zakat. Perform Hajj if you can afford to.


All mankind is from Adam and Eve, an Arab has no superiority over a non-Arab nor a non-Arab has any superiority over an Arab; also a white has no superiority over black nor a black has any superiority over white except by piety and good action. Learn that every Muslim is a brother to every Muslim and that the Muslims constitute one brotherhood. Nothing shall be legitimate to a Muslim which belongs to a fellow Muslim unless it was given freely and willingly. Do not, therefore, do injustice to yourselves.

Remember, one day you will appear before Allah and answer your deeds. So beware, do not stray from the path of righteousness after I am gone.

O People, no prophet or apostle will come after me and no new faith will be born. Reason well, therefore, O People, and understand words which I convey to you. I leave behind me two things, the QURAN and my example, the SUNNAH and if you follow these you will never go astray.

All those who listen to me shall pass on my words to others and those to others again; and may the last ones understand my words better than those who listen to me directly. Be my witness, O Allah, that I have conveyed your message to your people".

· To abuse a believer is transgression; raising arms against him is infidelity.

· To backbite him is a disobedience of Allah.

· Inviolability (and sacredness) of his property is like that of his blood.

· He who swears by Allah (falsely), in fact falsifies Him.

· He who pardons others is himself granted pardon.

· He who forgives others, is forgiven by Allah for his sins.

· He who represses anger, Allah rewards him.

· He who faces misfortunes with perseverance, Allah compensates him.

· He who disobeys Allah, Allah chastises him.

I seek the forgiveness of Allah.
I seek the forgiveness of Allah.
I seek the forgiveness of Allah.

Did Jesus Christ (Prophet Isa (AS) die on the cross?

In the Gospels of Barnabas it tells what actually happened and why.  Prophet Isa, Jesus, (AS) was not nailed to cross; as Allah has stated in the Qur'an; but it appeared to the onlookers that he was.  Allah (SWT) says:

 "That they said (in boast) "We killed Christ Jesus the son of Mary, the Messenger of Allah"-But they did not kill him, nor crucified him, but so it was made to appear to them, and those who differ therein are full of doubts, with no (certain) knowledge, but only conjecture to follow, for surely they did not kill him!" Qur'an, Al Nisa (4):157


In the Gospels of Barnabas the person who actually was crucified was Judas!  Judas was so anxious to betray Jesus that when the Romans solders went to the house of Lazarus to arrest Jesus Judas, who was with them, went in the door first. There was no other door and only a window. Allah (SWT) in His Mercy took Jesus up to Him as Judas was entering the door and as Judas was entering Allah transformed Judas to look exactly like Jesus. When the Romans came in they saw Jesus and grabbed Judas thinking he was Jesus for he looked just like him. That is why in the Bible it says that Jesus kept denying them when they said he was the king of the Jews; he actually was Judas and truly not Jesus. That is also why in the Bible Jesus cried out on the cross "O God why have you forsaken me?" Jesus was not on the cross; it was Judas looking like Jesus. Judas betrayed Jesus because he truly believed that Jesus was doing the works of Satan fore he was told this by the Rabbis who wanted Jesus dead.  Prophet Jesus did not die; and insha'Allah, he will return!

So why all this?  In the Gospels of Barnabas states that when the disciples saw Jesus nailed to the cross they were devastated with grief.  But Barnabas had traveled with Jesus more than any of the other disciples and Jesus had told him that this would happen and that he, Barnabas, was to let the other disciples know so they would not grieve; but Barnabas forgot.  Jesus looking down from Heaven saw how his disciples were grieving, so he asked Allah (SWT) to allow him to return to let them know he was okay. When Jesus returned to the disciples they asked Jesus why would Allah (SWT) allow his personage to be humiliated even though he was not on the cross?  Jesus said because of what the people were saying about him, i.e.: “Jesus is God or/and Jesus is the son of God"  Both of these statements are incorrect. Allah (SWT) says in the Qur'an:

"And behold! Allah will say "O Jesus the son of Mary! Did you say onto men, "Worship me and my mother as gods in derogation of Allah?" He will say: "Glory to Thee! Never could I had said what I had no right (to say), Had I said such a thing Thou would indeed have known it. Thou knows what is in the heart, though I know not what is in Thine. For Thou knows in full all that is hidden." "Never said I to them aught except what Thou did command me to say, to wit, "Worship Allah, my Lord and your Lord', and I was a witness over them while I dwelt among them; when Thou did take me up thou was the Watcher over them, and Thou art a witness to all things" Qur'an, Al Ma'idah (5):116-117

So in the Gospels of Barnabas Jesus was spared punishment in the hereafter because his personage took the humiliation in this would, thereby atoning for the crazy things people were saying about him, alhamdulillah! We can be held responsible for the things others say about us or of us when they are incorrect! We have a responsibility to correct any and all misconceptions. Insha'Allah, I have enlighten you on this. Anything I have said that is incorrect is all from me and I ask Allah's forgiveness; and all that I have said that is correct is from Allah (SWT), alhamdulillah!  Now, you can accept the truth as to the story of Prophet Isa (AS) or you can conjecture as to what happened and make up stories that will mislead the innocent people. When we go to the Qur'an then we have gone to the best authority, Allah(SWT). The Qur'an is the" Speech of Allah."  If you read the Qur'an it is Allah (SWT) speaking directly to you; not anyone else!

The uncensored statement on: Same Sex Marriage in DC and USA!

IN THE NAME OF ALLAH, THE MOST GRACIOUS, THE MOST MERCIFUL

Dear citizens of the District of Columbia and the citizens of these United States heed these words; by not allowing the citizens of moral conscious to vote and letting only the council to decide such a major issue affecting everyone here and our children for generations to come will be nailing one more nail in the coffin of the “End of Days”. The Creator of all of us, God, has already told us how to consider homosexual behavior, it is an abomination! He is the one who created the institution of marriage, therefore, it is sacred! The sanctity of marriage must be protected!

We appeal to your moral conscious to not act on this alone, but let the enter community have a say by allowing a vote. Those who consider themselves as friends of God must stand up and be counted by doing the right thing by not allowing the marriages that do not meet the standards set by God. The issue is a community issue and the behavior of some are offensive to the moral fiber of the community of the United States. Same sex marriages if allowed will lead to the extermination of the human race because there is no procreation.

It would be nice to say that this did not happen before in human history but it has, remember Sodom and Gomorrah how our dear Prophet Lot and his family were saved from such behavior! Allah says in His Qur'an:

“And (Remember) Lot: behold, he said to his people: you do commit lewdness such as no people in Creation (ever) committed before you. Do you indeed approach men, and cut off the highway? And practice abominations in your meetings? But his people gave no answers but this: “Bring us the wrath of Allah if you tell the truth!” He said: “ O my Lord! Help Thou me against people who do mischief!” Qur'an 29:28-30

"The people of Lot rejected his warning. We sent a violent tornado with showers of stones, (which destroyed them) except the family of Lot, whom We rescued in the last watch of the night," Qur'an 54:33-34

Therefore, I say: “ O! Allah, help us against these people who do great mischief!”

Note: The Qur'an was not sent to just the Muslims but it was sent to all of mankind. The Qur'an is Allah's Speech and therefore He is speaking directly to every human being, all of us. Take heed! He wants us all to serve and worship and obey Him alone!

Do you really believe the Creator of us all will be pleased with same sex marriages? I truly don't think so! And remember Rome! Need we have the raft of God befall us too! It is time for the morally upright citizens to stand up to this diabolical evil!

If we act we will cause others across this great nation to act!
