Getting the Sunnah devotional practices 100% right is not practical and of no use if you are not a good human with good akhlaak and behaviour towards fellow beings. There are many muslims I have seen who are simply devotional muslims but with very bad behaviours towards others and still portray a pious attitude and arrogance with much much knowledge. But what's the use if one doesn't behave with goodness. May Allah protect us and guide us all with the best of behaviours. Ameen.
For the athkaar after the Athan, shall we say it while raising our 2 hands like when making douhas or shall we say it without raising our 2 hands ? By the way, DjazakAllah Krayr for the clear explanation in your videos.
Sheikh why is athkar and athan among many other words, even in the Qur'an written with a Z instead of TH, if anyone can explain pls? Because the pronunciation isn't Z it's TH...
السَّلَامُ عَلَيْكُمْ وَرَحْمَةُ اللَّهِ وَبَرَكَاتُهُ Sheikh I’ve heard some add والدرجة العالية الرفيعة to the dua after the adhan. Is this authentic or is it better to leave it out?
Allah knows best. I have heard it in some mosques as well but never found it in any authentic hadiths so far. The most authentic reply to adhan to my knowledge is the following: Sahih al-Bukhari 614 Narrated Jabir bin `Abdullah: Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) said, "Whoever after listening to the Adhan says, 'Allahumma Rabba hadhihi-dda` watit-tammah, was-salatil qa'imah, ati Muhammadan al-wasilata wal-fadilah, wa b`ath-hu maqaman mahmudan-il-ladhi wa`adtahu' [O Allah! Lord of this perfect call (perfect by not ascribing partners to You) and of the regular prayer which is going to be established, give Muhammad the right of intercession and illustriousness, and resurrect him to the best and the highest place in Paradise that You promised him (of)], then my intercession for him will be allowed on the Day of Resurrection". حَدَّثَنَا عَلِيُّ بْنُ عَيَّاشٍ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا شُعَيْبُ بْنُ أَبِي حَمْزَةَ، عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ الْمُنْكَدِرِ، عَنْ جَابِرِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ، أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم قَالَ " مَنْ قَالَ حِينَ يَسْمَعُ النِّدَاءَ اللَّهُمَّ رَبَّ هَذِهِ الدَّعْوَةِ التَّامَّةِ وَالصَّلاَةِ الْقَائِمَةِ آتِ مُحَمَّدًا الْوَسِيلَةَ وَالْفَضِيلَةَ وَابْعَثْهُ مَقَامًا مَحْمُودًا الَّذِي وَعَدْتَهُ، حَلَّتْ لَهُ شَفَاعَتِي يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ
Assalaamu Alaikum wa rahmatullahi wa Barakatuhu, Shaikh! May Allah Bless you for spreading this beautiful Deen and all the intricate knowledge that you share! I have learnt so much about our Deen from you! Aameen!
Assalaamu’alaikum 1. Repeat the Words of the Adhan It is recommended to repeat after the Mu’adhdhin (the person calling the Adhan) by saying the same phrases as he says, except for the part when he says “Hayya ‘ala-s-Salah” (Come to prayer) and “Hayya ‘ala-l-Falah” (Come to success), in which case you respond by saying: Arabic: لَا حَوْلَ وَلَا قُوَّةَ إِلَّا بِاللَّهِ Transliteration: La hawla wa la quwwata illa billah. Translation: "There is no power and no strength except with Allah." 2. Send Salawat (Blessings) upon the Prophet (peace be upon him) After repeating the Adhan, it is Sunnah to send blessings upon the Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him). You can say: Arabic: اللهم صلِّ على محمدٍ وعلى آلِ محمدٍ كما صلَّيتَ على إبراهيمَ وعلى آلِ إبراهيمَ إنَّك حميدٌ مجيدٌ، وبارِكْ على محمدٍ وعلى آلِ محمدٍ كما باركتَ على إبراهيمَ وعلى آلِ إبراهيمَ إنَّك حميدٌ مجيدٌ. Transliteration: Allahumma salli ‘ala Muhammad wa ‘ala aali Muhammad, kama sallayta ‘ala Ibrahima wa ‘ala aali Ibrahima innaka hamidun majid. Wa barik ‘ala Muhammad wa ‘ala aali Muhammad, kama barakta ‘ala Ibrahima wa ‘ala aali Ibrahima innaka hamidun majid. Translation: "O Allah, send blessings upon Muhammad and upon the family of Muhammad, as You sent blessings upon Ibrahim and the family of Ibrahim; You are indeed Praiseworthy, Glorious. O Allah, bless Muhammad and the family of Muhammad, as You blessed Ibrahim and the family of Ibrahim; You are indeed Praiseworthy, Glorious." 3. Dua of Ridha (pleasure and contentment) that begins with the proclamation of faith and expresses contentment with Allah, Islam, and the Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him). This is the longer version which includes the Shahada (the declaration of faith) at the beginning. Arabic: أَشْهَدُ أَنْ لاَ إِلَهَ إِلاَّ اللَّهُ، وَحْدَهُ لاَ شَرِيكَ لَهُ، وَأَنَّ مُحَمَّدًا عَبْدُهُ وَرَسُولُهُ، رَضِيتُ بِاللَّهِ رَبًّا، وَبِمُحَمَّدٍ رَسُولًا، وَبِالإِسْلاَمِ دِينًا. Transliteration: Ash-hadu an la ilaha illallahu wahdahu la sharika lahu, wa anna Muhammadan ‘abduhu wa rasuluhu. Radītu billāhi rabbā, wa bi-Muhammadin rasūlā, wa bil-islāmi dīnā. Translation: "I bear witness that there is no god but Allah, alone with no partner, and that Muhammad is His servant and Messenger. I am pleased with Allah as my Lord, with Muhammad as His Messenger, and with Islam as my religion." 4. Recite the Special Dua After the Adhan After sending blessings upon the Prophet (peace be upon him), it is Sunnah to recite the following Dua, which asks Allah to grant the Prophet (peace be upon him) the honor of Maqam Mahmood (the Praised Station) on the Day of Judgment: Arabic: اللَّهُمَّ رَبَّ هَذِهِ الدَّعْوَةِ التَّامَّةِ، وَالصَّلَاةِ الْقَائِمَةِ، آتِ مُحَمَّدًا الْوَسِيلَةَ وَالْفَضِيلَةَ، وَابْعَثْهُ مَقَامًا مَحْمُودًا الَّذِي وَعَدْتَهُ Transliteration: Allahumma Rabba hadhihi-d-da'watit-taammah, was-salatil-qaa’imah, aati Muhammadan al-wasilata wal-fadhilah, wab’athhu maqaman mahmudan alladhi wa’adtah. Translation: "O Allah, Lord of this perfect call and the prayer to be offered, grant Muhammad the Wasilah (highest position in Paradise) and virtue, and raise him to a Praised Station that You have promised him." 5. Additional Supplication for One’s Own Needs (Optional) It is narrated that after the Adhan, the doors of the heavens are open, and this is a special time for making Dua for one’s own needs. You can take this opportunity to make personal supplications. InshaAllah, there will be beneficial for you and everyone who sees/refers to it.
As Salam Alaykum If the Athan from the device is called at the time of the Prayer and you still haven’t prayed the prayer, then some scholars mentioned it’s permissible to practice the sunan of the Athan. And other scholars condition that the Athan was be broadcasted live. Wallahu Aalam.
