The meaning of Allah’s saying: And remember Allâh during the appointed Days.

Pearls of a Muslim

Q: O respected Sheikh! Would you please tell me the meaning of Allah’s saying: But whosoever hastens to leave in two days, there is no sin on him and whosoever stays on, there is no sin on him?

A: This Glorious Ayah (Qur’anic verse) relates to the Days of Tashriq (11th, 12th and 13th of Dhul-Hijjah), Al-Nafr Al-Awwal (leaving Mina after throwing the stones in the 12th of Dhul-Hijjah), and Al-Nafr Al-Thani (leaving Mina after stoning on the 13th of Dhul-Hijjah). Allah (Glorified be He) says: And remember Allâh during the appointed Days. i.e. the Days of Tashriq which does not include the Day of `Eid-ul-Adha (the Festival of the Sacrifice). And remember Allâh during the appointed Days. The Day of `Eid-ul-Adha is the tenth day of Dhul-Hijjah. Muslims are commanded to pronounce Dhikr (Remembrance of Allah) during the first ten days of Dhul-Hijjah and the appointed Days of Tashriq…

Some Few Important Rulings concerning Eed and the Eed Sacrifice

Pearls of a Muslim

The Takbeer:

The Takbeer is legislated from the dawn of the day of Arafah and during the Ayyaam At-Tashreeq (i.e. 11^th to 13^th Dhul Hijjah) to Asr time on the 13^th of Dhul Hijjah.  Allaah (The Most High) said: [وَاذْكُرُوا اللَّهَ فِي أَيَّامٍ مَّعْدُودَاتٍ ]— ”And remember Allah during the appointed Days.” [Soorah Baqarah: Ayah: 203]  The manner in which the Takbeer is performed is: [الله أكبر الله أكبر، لا إله إلا الله، والله أكبر الله أكبر ولله الحمد].  It is prescribed for the men to raise their voices with the Takbeer in the Masaajid, the houses and after the five daily obligatory prayers.  This is done to exalt Allaah and to manifest singling Him out in worship and thanking Him.

Quick Tips: Pertaining to Sacrificial Offering

When should a person start Takbir [Allah is the Greatest]”) following the conclusion of Prayer during the days of `Eid-ul-Adha ?

When should a person start Takbir (saying: “Allahu Akbar [Allah is the Greatest]”) following the conclusion of Prayer [during the days of `Eid-ul-Adha (the Festival of the Sacrifice)]? And what is the evidence of this prescription?

A: It is prescribed for the pilgrims to pronounce Talbiyah (devotional expressions chanted at certain times during Hajj and `Umrah) when they enter into Ihram (ritual state for Hajj or `Umrah) until they throw pebbles at Jamrat-ul-`Aqabah (the closest stone pillar to Makkah). This is based on the Hadith reported on the authority of Ibn `Umar (may Allah be pleased with him and his father): We left early in the morning with the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) from Mina to `Arafah; some of us were performing Talbiyah and the others performing Takbir. The obligatory Takbir of Hajj starts after offering the Zhuhr (Noon) Prayer on the Day of Nahr (Sacrifice, 10th of Dhul-Hijjah, when pilgrims slaughter their sacrificial animals) until the `Asr (Afternoon) Prayer on the last of the Days of Tashriq (11th, 12th, and 13th of Dhul-Hijjah). As for non-pilgrims, they should start Takbir starting from after the Fajr (Dawn) Prayer on the Day of `Arafah (9th of Dhul-Hijjah) until the end of the Days of Tashriq. The evidence of the prescription of Takbir is Allah’s Saying: And remember Allâh during the appointed Days. And: and that you must magnify Allâh [i.e. to say Takbîr (Allâhu Akbar; Allâh is the Most Great)] for having guided you This is what the Sahabah (Companions of the Prophet) used to do.

On the Day of ‘Arafah – Shaykh AbdurRazzaq bin Abdul-Muhsin

Source: Lessons of Creed Acquired From The Hajj – By ‘AbdurRazzaq bin ‘Abdul-Muhsin al-Badr, Translated By Abbas Abu Yahya

Chapter Nine : On the Day of ‘Arafah

There is no doubt that the day of ‘Arafah is a great day from the blessed days of Allaah and is a large gathering from the gatherings of goodness, Eemaan and Taqwaa. It is a season which is welcomed with great importance. A season from the seasons of obedience and worship, a day where the shedding of tears increases, where there are continuous supplications, where mercy descends and shortcomings are rectified, a day where mistakes are forgiven, a day of hope and humility, submissiveness and humbleness.

Indeed it is a noble blessed day. The sun never rose on a day better than the day of ‘Arafah. Indeed it has been specified with noble merits, great privileges and important characteristics. It is no easy task to encompass all its characteristics, nor is it possible to fully investigate them all.

Indeed it is the day on which Allaah completed this Deen for the Ummah and completed His favour for them, as on that day the saying of Allaah Ta’ala was revealed:

Fasting on the Day of Arafah Expiates Two Years~

The Noble Shaykh Saalih al-Fawzaan (may Allah have mercy upon him) stated:

This day (the Day of Arafah) has within it a tremendous virtue. When he (the Prophet) was asked about fasting on it he said: “It expiates the previous year and the remaining year,” meaning the following year. Fasting (on that day) expiates two years. This indicates the virtue of fasting the Day of Arafah. The expiation for the previous year is clear because it expiates the evil that is present and that which has taken place. However, expiation for the following year and nothing from it has taken place, this has within it a problem (for many regarding its understanding). How can it expiate that which hasn’t taken place? They (the scholars) have said, the meaning of it expiating the remaining year (meaning the following year) is that the person is given the success to keep away from the acts of disobedience in the year that comes after. Or, if there does take place from him an act of disobedience, he is given the success to make Tawbah. This is the meaning of the fast expiating the remaining year.

Question: Is the expiation of the sins something for the major sins as well as the minor sins or is it specific for the minor sins?

Answer: The expiation of the sins is specific for the minor sins. As for the major sins, nothing expiates it except for making Tawbah. This is based upon the statement of Allah: “If you abstain from the major sins that you have been prohibited from We will expiate from you your evil actions.” (Soorah an-Nisaa: 31) However, fasting on the Day of Arafah is only recommended for those not standing in it. As for the one standing in Arafah, then he should not be fasting that day, following the example of the Prophet. Indeed he stood in Arafah not fasting on this day.”
