بِسۡمِ ٱللَّهِ ٱلرَّحۡمَٰنِ ٱلرَّحِيمِ

وَلَقَدْ آتَيْنَاكَ سَبْعًا مِّنَ الْمَثَانِي وَالْقُرْآنَ الْعَظِيمَ
And indeed, We have bestowed upon you seven of Al-Mathâni (seven repeatedly recited Verses), (i.e. Sûrat Al-Fâtihah) and the Grand Qur'ân.  [Soorah al-Hijr , Chapter 15: 87]

1. Most Superior Surah in Qur'an ( أَعْظَمَ سُورَةٍ فِي الْقُرْآنِ)
حَدَّثَنَا عَلِيُّ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ، حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ سَعِيدٍ، حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنِي خُبَيْبُ بْنُ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ، عَنْ حَفْصِ بْنِ عَاصِمٍ، عَنْ أَبِي سَعِيدِ بْنِ الْمُعَلَّى، قَالَ كُنْتُ أُصَلِّي فَدَعَانِي النَّبِيُّ صلى الله عليه وسلم فَلَمْ أُجِبْهُ قُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ إِنِّي كُنْتُ أُصَلِّي‏.‏ قَالَ ‏"‏ أَلَمْ يَقُلِ اللَّهُ ‏{‏اسْتَجِيبُوا لِلَّهِ وَلِلرَّسُولِ إِذَا دَعَاكُمْ‏}‏ ثُمَّ قَالَ أَلاَ أُعَلِّمُكَ أَعْظَمَ سُورَةٍ فِي الْقُرْآنِ قَبْلَ أَنْ تَخْرُجَ مِنَ الْمَسْجِدِ ‏"‏‏.‏ فَأَخَذَ بِيَدِي فَلَمَّا أَرَدْنَا أَنْ نَخْرُجَ قُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ إِنَّكَ قُلْتَ لأُعَلِّمَنَّكَ أَعْظَمَ سُورَةٍ مِنَ الْقُرْآنِ‏.‏ قَالَ ‏"‏‏{‏الْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ رَبِّ الْعَالَمِينَ‏}‏ هِيَ السَّبْعُ الْمَثَانِي وَالْقُرْآنُ الْعَظِيمُ الَّذِي أُوتِيتُهُ ‏"‏‏.‏

Abu Saeed Rafi bin al-Mu'alla said: "Allah's Messenger (SAW) said, 'Shall I not teach you the most superior surah in the Qur'ân before you leave the mosque?' He took me by the hand. When we were about to leave, I said, 'O Messenger of Allah, you said you would teach me the most superior surah in the Qur'ân.
The Prophet (saw) said, '"Praise to Allah, Lord of the worlds" [i.e., Surah al-Fatiah]; it is the seven repeatedly recited verses and the magnificent Quran which was given to me.' " (Sahih  al-Bukhari 5006)

2.
حَدَّثَنَا حَسَنُ بْنُ الرَّبِيعِ، وَأَحْمَدُ بْنُ جَوَّاسٍ الْحَنَفِيُّ، قَالاَ حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو الأَحْوَصِ، عَنْ عَمَّارِ بْنِ رُزَيْقٍ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عِيسَى، عَنْ سَعِيدِ بْنِ جُبَيْرٍ، عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ، قَالَ بَيْنَمَا جِبْرِيلُ قَاعِدٌ عِنْدَ النَّبِيِّ صلى الله عليه وسلم سَمِعَ نَقِيضًا مِنْ فَوْقِهِ فَرَفَعَ رَأْسَهُ فَقَالَ هَذَا بَابٌ مِنَ السَّمَاءِ فُتِحَ الْيَوْمَ لَمْ يُفْتَحْ قَطُّ إِلاَّ الْيَوْمَ فَنَزَلَ مِنْهُ مَلَكٌ فَقَالَ هَذَا مَلَكٌ نَزَلَ إِلَى الأَرْضِ لَمْ يَنْزِلْ قَطُّ إِلاَّ الْيَوْمَ فَسَلَّمَ وَقَالَ أَبْشِرْ بِنُورَيْنِ أُوتِيتَهُمَا لَمْ يُؤْتَهُمَا نَبِيٌّ قَبْلَكَ فَاتِحَةُ الْكِتَابِ وَخَوَاتِيمُ سُورَةِ الْبَقَرَةِ لَنْ تَقْرَأَ بِحَرْفٍ مِنْهُمَا إِلاَّ أُعْطِيتَهُ ‏.‏

Ibn Abbas(RA) narrated: "While Gabriel was sitting with the Prophet (Saw), he heard a creaking sound above him, and raising his head he said, 'This is a gate opened in Heaven today which has never been opened before.' Then when an angel descended through it, he said, 'This is an angel that came down to earth who has never come down before.' He gave a salutation and said, 'Rejoice in two lights brought to you which have not been brought to any prophet before you: Fatiúat al-Kitab and the
last verses of Surah al-Baqarah. You will not recite a letter of them without being given the blessing it contains.' " (Sahih Muslim 806)


3.
أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ خَرَجَ عَلَى أُبَيِّ بْنِ كَعْبٍ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَا أُبَيُّ وَهُوَ يُصَلِّي فَالْتَفَتَ أُبَيٌّ وَلَمْ يُجِبْهُ وَصَلَّى أُبَيٌّ فَخَفَّفَ ثُمَّ انْصَرَفَ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَقَالَ السَّلَامُ عَلَيْكَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَعَلَيْكَ السَّلَامُ مَا مَنَعَكَ يَا أُبَيُّ أَنْ تُجِيبَنِي إِذْ دَعَوْتُكَ فَقَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ إِنِّي
كُنْتُ فِي الصَّلَاةِ قَالَ أَفَلَمْ تَجِدْ فِيمَا أَوْحَى اللَّهُ إِلَيَّ أَنْ

Sayyidina Abu Huraira (RA) reported that Allah’s Messenger (SAW) went to Ubayy ibn Ka’b. He called out. “O Ubbay!” He was engaged in salah and turned but did not answer. He shortened his salah and then went to Allahs Messenger (SAW) and said, “As-salammu alikum, O Messenger of Allah (SAW)”! He said, “Wa alika salaam! What prevented you, O Ubayy, from answering me when I called you”? He said, “O  Messenger of Allah (SAW) , I was engaged in salah.” He said, “Have you not observed that which Allah has revealed to me:  “Respond to Allah and to His Messenger (SAW) when he (the Messenger) calls you.” (Al-Quran 8:24). He said, “Yes indeed. I will not do  it again, Insha Allah.” He asked, “Would you love that I teach you a surah that has not been revealed in the Torah, not in the Injil, not in the Zabur and not in the Qur’an, the like of it.” He answered, “Yes, O Messenger of Allah (SAW). So, he asked, “How do you
recite in salah”? He said, “We recite the ummul Qar’an.” So, Allah’s Messeneger said, “By Him in Whose hand is my soul, nothing has been revealed like it in the Turah, the Injil, the Zabur and the Qur’an. It is the sab’am minal mathani and the mighty Qur’an that is given to me.” 
Tirmidhi: 2884

Command to recite Fatihah in Salah
عَنْ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ لَا صَلَاةَ لِمَنْ لَمْ يَقْرَأْ بِفَاتِحَةِ الْكِتَابِ
4. Ubadah ibn Samit (RA) narrated that the Prophet (SAW) said, "He who does not recite Fatihatul Kitab has not observed salah."
[Bukhari:756, Muslim:394, Tirmidhi:247, Abu Dawud:822, Nisai:909, Ibn Majah: 837]

حَدَّثَنَا هَنَّادٌ، حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدَةُ بْنُ سُلَيْمَانَ، عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ إِسْحَاقَ، عَنْ مَكْحُولٍ، عَنْ مَحْمُودِ بْنِ الرَّبِيعِ، عَنْ عُبَادَةَ بْنِ الصَّامِتِ، قَالَ صَلَّى رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم الصُّبْحَ فَثَقُلَتْ عَلَيْهِ الْقِرَاءَةُ فَلَمَّا انْصَرَفَ قَالَ ‏"‏ إِنِّي أَرَاكُمْ تَقْرَءُونَ وَرَاءَ إِمَامِكُمْ ‏"‏ ‏.‏ قَالَ قُلْنَا يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ إِي وَاللَّهِ ‏.‏ قَالَ ‏"‏ فَلاَ تَفْعَلُوا إِلاَّ بِأُمِّ الْقُرْآنِ فَإِنَّهُ لاَ صَلاَةَ لِمَنْ لَمْ يَقْرَأْ بِهَا ‏"‏ ‏.‏ قَالَ وَفِي الْبَابِ عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ وَعَائِشَةَ وَأَنَسٍ وَأَبِي قَتَادَةَ وَعَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عَمْرٍو ‏.‏ قَالَ أَبُو عِيسَى حَدِيثُ عُبَادَةَ حَدِيثٌ حَسَنٌ ‏.‏ وَرَوَى هَذَا الْحَدِيثَ الزُّهْرِيُّ عَنْ مَحْمُودِ بْنِ الرَّبِيعِ عَنْ عُبَادَةَ بْنِ الصَّامِتِ عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صلى الله عليه وسلم قَالَ ‏"‏ لاَ صَلاَةَ لِمَنْ لَمْ يَقْرَأْ بِفَاتِحَةِ الْكِتَابِ ‏"‏ ‏.‏ قَالَ وَهَذَا أَصَحُّ ‏.‏ وَالْعَمَلُ عَلَى هَذَا الْحَدِيثِ فِي الْقِرَاءَةِ خَلْفَ الإِمَامِ عِنْدَ أَكْثَرِ أَهْلِ الْعِلْمِ مِنْ أَصْحَابِ النَّبِيِّ صلى الله عليه وسلم وَالتَّابِعِينَ وَهُوَ قَوْلُ مَالِكِ بْنِ أَنَسٍ وَابْنِ الْمُبَارَكِ وَالشَّافِعِيِّ وَأَحْمَدَ وَإِسْحَاقَ يَرَوْنَ الْقِرَاءَةَ خَلْفَ الإِمَامِ ‏.‏

Sayyidina Ubadah ibn Samit (RA) reported that once while Allah’s Mesenge (SAW) led the fajr salah, the recitation of the Qur'an became difficult for him. When he finished, he said, "Perhaps you recite behind your imam." They replied, "By Allah, yes, 0 Messenger of Allah!" He said, "Do not do it. Recite only the umm ut-Qur'an (surah al-Fa'tihah), for, one who does not recite it has not offered salah." Tirmidhi:311 [Sahih]

Recite it silently behind Imam (فَاقْرَأْهَا فِي نَفْسِكَ)

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ مَنْ صَلَّى صَلَاةً لَمْ يَقْرَأْ فِيهَا بِأُمِّ الْقُرْآنِ فَهِيَ خِدَاجٌ هِيَ خِدَاجٌ غَيْرُ تَمَامٍ قَالَ قُلْتُ يَا أَبَا هُرَيْرَةَ إِنِّي أَحْيَانًا أَكُونُ وَرَاءَ الْإِمَامِ قَالَ يَا ابْنَ الْفَارِسِيِّ فَاقْرَأْهَا فِي نَفْسِكَ فَإِنِّي سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَقُولُ قَالَ اللَّهُ تَعَالَى قَسَمْتُ الصَّلَاةَ بَيْنِي وَبَيْنَ عَبْدِي نِصْفَيْنِ فَنِصْفُهَا لِي وَنِصْفُهَا لِعَبْدِي وَلِعَبْدِي مَا سَأَلَ يَقْرَأُ الْعَبْدُ فَيَقُولُ

6. Sayyidina Abu Huraira (RA)  reported that Allah’s Messenger (SAW) said, “He who prays salah but does not recite the umm ul-Qur’an in it must know that it is incomplete, it is incomplete, not perfect.” The narrator asked, “O Abu Huraira (RA) , I am sometimes behind the imam.” He said  son of Farisi, recite it in your heart for, I had heard Allah’s Messenger (SAW) say that Allah says, “I have divided salah between Me and My slave half and half. So half of it is for Me and half of it for My slave. And for My slave is what he asks. “The slave stands up and says “Praise be to Allah, the Cherisher and Sustainer of the worlds”, so Allah the Blessed and Exalted says, “My slave has praised Me.” He says “Most Gracious, Most Merciful”. Allah says, “My  slave has glorified Me.” He says “Master of the Day of Judgment”, so Allah says. “My slave has exalted Me.” And this is for Me and between Me and My slave is “hee do we worship, and Thine aid we seek”. And the remaining surah is for My slave. For My slave is what he asks, saying:“Show us the straight way, The way of those on whom Thou hast bestowed Thy Grace, those whose (portion) is not wrath, and who go not astray.”

[Tirmidhi: 2962,Ahmed: 8839,Muslim:395,Abu Dawud: 821, Ibn Majah:838]

As a cure 
7. Reciting al-Fatihah seven times for scorpion sting(poison)

بَعَثَنَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فِي سَرِيَّةٍ فَنَزَلْنَا بِقَوْمٍ فَسَأَلْنَاهُمْ الْقِرَى فَلَمْ يَقْرُونَا فَلُدِغَ سَيِّدُهُمْ فَأَتَوْنَا فَقَالُوا هَلْ فِيكُمْ مَنْ يَرْقِي مِنْ الْعَقْرَبِ قُلْتُ نَعَمْ أَنَا وَلَكِنْ لَا أَرْقِيهِ حَتَّى تُعْطُونَا غَنَمًا قَالَ فَأَنَا أُعْطِيكُمْ ثَلَاثِينَ شَاةً فَقَبِلْنَا فَقَرَأْتُ عَلَيْهِ الْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ سَبْعَ مَرَّاتٍ فَبَرَأَ وَقَبَضْنَا الْغَنَمَ قَالَ فَعَرَضَ فِي أَنْفُسِنَا مِنْهَا شَيْءٌ فَقُلْنَا لَا تَعْجَلُوا حَتَّى تَأْتُوا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ

عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ فَلَمَّا قَدِمْنَا عَلَيْهِ ذَكَرْتُ لَهُ الَّذِي صَنَعْتُ قَالَ وَمَا عَلِمْتَ أَنَّهَا رُقْيَةٌ اقْبِضُوا الْغَنَمَ وَاضْرِبُوا لِي مَعَكُمْ بِسَهْمٍ

Sayyidina Abu Saeed (RA) narrated Allah’s Messenger sent us on an expedition. We halted at a place and requested its people for their hospitality, but they declined to host us. Meanwhile, a scorpion stung their chief, so they came to us and asked if we had anyone who would cure him through ruqyah. I said, “Yes, I will. But, I will not blow on him until you give us sheep.” They said, “We will give you thirty sheep.” We agreed, I recited al-Fatihah over him seven times and he was relieved (of poison), and we took the sheep. Then we had doubt about it and we said, “Do not make haste till we come to Allah’s Messenger (SAW). When we came to him, I mentioned to him what I had done. He asked, “How did you know that it (al-Fatihah) is a ruqyah. Take the sheep and count me with you for my share.” [Bukhari 5749, Tirmidhi:2070] 

Al-Fatihah is a cure for illness

أَنَّ نَاسًا مِنْ أَصْحَابِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ مَرُّوا بِحَيٍّ مِنْ الْعَرَبِ فَلَمْ يَقْرُوهُمْ وَلَمْ يُضَيِّفُوهُمْ فَاشْتَكَى سَيِّدُهُمْ فَأَتَوْنَا فَقَالُوا هَلْ عِنْدَكُمْ دَوَاءٌ قُلْنَا نَعَمْ وَلَكِنْ لَمْ تَقْرُونَا وَلَمْ تُضَيِّفُونَا فَلَا نَفْعَلُ حَتَّى تَجْعَلُوا لَنَا جُعْلًا فَجَعَلُوا عَلَى ذَلِكَ قَطِيعًا مِنْ الْغَنَمِ قَالَ فَجَعَلَ رَجُلٌ مِنَّا يَقْرَأُ عَلَيْهِ بِفَاتِحَةِ الْكِتَابِ فَبَرَأَ فَلَمَّا أَتَيْنَا النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ذَكَرْنَا ذَلِكَ لَهُ قَالَ وَمَا
يُدْرِيكَ أَنَّهَا رُقْيَةٌ وَلَمْ يَذْكُرْ نَهْيًا مِنْهُ وَقَالَ كُلُوا وَاضْرِبُوا لِي مَعَكُمْ بِسَهْمٍ


8. Sayyidina Abu Sa’eed (RA) reported that a group of the sahabah (RA) passed by a village of Arabs. They did not entertain and host them. Their chief fell ill and they came to the sahabah asking them if they had medicine. They affirmed, “Yes, we have, but you neither entertained us nor hosted us, so will not treat him unless you determine our wages.” So they fixed their wages at a herd of sheep. So, one of them recited over him al-Fatihah and he was cured. When they came to the Prophet (SAW) they mentioned that to him. 
He said, “And what told you that it is ruqyah.” He did not disallow them that but said, “Eat and determine for me a share with you.” [Bukhari 2276, Muslim 2201,Tirmidhi:2071]

Causes Of Splitting And Their Solutions

As'Salâm Alaikum Wa'Rahmatullâhi Wa'Barakâtuh

Causes Of Splitting And Their Solutions

By: Ash Shaykh Ibraheem ibn ‘Aamir ar Ruhaylee
Source: Taken from: Anasalafi.net (while it was online)
Translated By: Abu Yahyaa, Mu’aawiyah TuckerTaken From: http://www.madeenah.com/

Oh Ahl-us Sunnah! Do you know what increases splitting and widens the differing between us?

1. Blameworthy Ta’assub (stuborness / obstinacy): This is the obstinacy of some people to another group due to desires; either because of hateful tribalism that goes back to partisanship to a race or group of people, or due to a worldly benefit, or due to the hatred of the conflicting side. So because of this it is Waajib for a student of knowledge to become independant, to do his actions for Allaah’s Face (sincerely) and not look at other people, at their position or their level, because ‘the truth is not known by the men, rather men are known by the truth.’ So the truth has to be aided as well the one who speaks the truth, even if he is inferior.
   
   
2. Striving to spread Kalaam (gossip): Spreading Kalaam between the people, especially in issues of differing is from the things that widen those differences, and you all know that the Prophet (صلى الله عليه و سلم) forbade gossip (Qeel wa Qaal) and asking too many questions. “So and so said this, and so and so said that, such and such was said about so and so and such and such was reported from so and so” and then striving in doing that and spending a lot of time in that Kalaam. This reason contributes the most to the hardening of the heart and increases differing and causes hatred and bitter feelings and enmity between brothers in Islaam, so it is upon the student of knowledge to be in abstinence with his tongue, and to not transmit Kalaam too much and not talk too much without benefit.
   
   
3. Ignorance, may Allaah destroy it: Some people go back and forth between those who have differences between then, it may be the reason for that is due to ignorance, either ignorance about the truth or ignorance about its people. As for ignorance of the truth then that is when one does not know who the truth is with. For example, if two people or two groups have a difference between then, then a person comes along and does not know the truth in this issue, nor does he know the correct opinion in regards to the issue that they differ in, so he ends up helping falsehood.
   As for not knowing the people of the truth, then the meaning of this is that a person knows the truth, and knows the proofs for it but he is ignorant of the position that a certain person holds, so some students come and say: “So and so said this and so and so said that.” A scholar gives his opinion according to that which was reported to him. So it is necessary for the one who reports differences between the people to be trustworthy in what he transmits. It is not for the people to interpret [what was said to mean] something else that was not intended, nor report things were never said, nor report the implications of a certain opinion. They should only transmit the differing exactly like it is. So not knowing the people of truth does not harm the scholars nor does it serve as a criticism of them.

As for the means of reconciliation:

1. A correct truthful intention of reconciliation between people: Allaah said about two male arbitrators between a man and his wife

   {If they both wish for peace, Allah will cause their reconciliation}

   So if this is with regards to reconciliation between a man and his wife, then how about one who strives to make reconciliation between people, between Muslims. So a truthful and correct intention in this is what lifts differences.
   
   
2. Making Du’aa for our brothers: Making Du’aa for our brothers and being sincere in our Du’aa that Allaah removes the differing, rectify and bring together their hearts upon Birr and Taqwaa.
   
   
3. Giving advise to the one who is wrong: We say to him; “You made a mistake.” and incite and encourage him to be upon the truth; “You made a mistake and you should return to the truth.”, and this is for those who are able to give the advise, but as for the one who is not able then he is not obliged with this responsibility.
   
4. Give advise to the one who is correct: As for the one who is correct, then our advise to him is to encourage him upon patience and we would say to him; “Support your brother and those from Ahl-us Sunnah, and their differences with you does not mean that they hate you, and does not mean that the they don’t want the truth, but they made a mistake. The companions of the Messenger of Allaah ( رضي الله عنهم) used to have differences in issues which caused problems in their time, and everyone used to say to his companion, “We are not superior to you in Eemaan nor in Taqwaah”, and ‘Alee (رضي الله عنه) the best person that was left after ‘Uthmaan used to say, “We are not superior to our brothers in Eemaan nor Taqwaah” with the fact that he was the best of them.

Wa' Jazâkum Allâhu Khairan

Imâm Mâlik (Rahimahullâh) Said, "The Sunnah Is Like The Ark Of Noah. Whoever Embarks Upon It Reaches Salvation And Whoever Refuses Is Drowned

Explaining Islam to one who is asking

Explaining Islam to one who is asking/ mocking:-
1.) Do not feel shy
2.) Speak the truth
3.) Turned it into an opportunity to explain Islam to him

Muslim narrated in his Saheeh (386) that Salmaan al-Faarisi (may Allah be pleased with him) said: The mushrikoon said to us [according to Ahmad and others: One of the mushrikeen said to him when they were making fun of him]: I think that your companion is teaching you everything; he is even teaching you how to defecate!

Salmaan said: Indeed, he has told us not to clean ourselves using the right hand and not to face towards the qiblah (when defecating), and he has told us not to use dried dung or bones, and he said: “Do not clean yourselves using less than three stones.”

See how this noble Sahaabi responded in this case having to do with the etiquette of relieving oneself and going to the toilet, without feeling any shame or embarrassment.

Assuming that the one who asked him this question was mocking him, he turned the tables on him, as they say, and turned it into an opportunity to explain Islam to him.

And Allah knows best.

Sajdah As-Shukr (Prostration of Thankfulness)

Subhana’Allah, there are so many sunnahs out there now that are neglected. One of these sunnahs is the sajdah as-shukr (the prostration of thankfulness). The fact of the matter is we should go directly into sajdah whenever we hear any good news from a good grade on a test to recognizing any beautiful bounty Allah (SWT) has bestowed upon us. Sajdah as-Shukr is easy and takes seconds (if we want it to). The place of sajdah is when we are closest to Allah (SWT) and it is the ideal position in which for us to make dua to Allah (SWT). Let’s make this one sunnah that we revive, insh’Allah. Below is Sayyid Sabiq’s collection of hadith with some commentary on Sajdah as-Shukr as found in his work, Fiqh-us-Sunnah:

The majority of the scholars say that it is preferred to make prostrations of thankfulness (shukr) when one receives a bounty or is rescued from some trial. Abu Bakr reports that, when the Prophet sallallahu alehi wasallam received something which pleased him or some glad tidings, he would make the sajdah in thanks to Allah. This is related by Abu Dawud, Ibn Majah, and at-Tirmizhi who says it is hasan.

And al-Baihaqi records, with a chain that meets al-Bukhari’s conditions, that when ‘Ali wrote to the Messenger of Allah, informing him that Hamazhan had embraced Islam, the Prophet prostrated, and when he raised his head, he said:
“Peace be upon Hamazhan, peace be upon Hamazhan.”

‘Abdurrahman ibn ‘Auf relates that the Messenger of Allah went out once and he followed him until he entered a grove of palm trees and prostrated. His prostration was so long that ‘Abdurrahman feared that Allah had taken his soul. ‘Abdurrahman came to look at him and he raised his head and said: “What is wrong, Abdurrahman’?” Abdurrahman mentioned what had happened, and he said: “Gabriel alehi as-salam came to me and said: ‘Shall I not give you glad tidings’? Allah says to you, Whoever prays upon you, I pray upon him. Whoever salutes you, I salute him.’ Therefore, I prostrated to Allah in thanks.” This is related by Ahmad and by AlHakim who says: “It is sahih according to the criterion of al-Bukhari and Muslim. And I do not know anything more authentic than that.”

Al-Bukhari records that Ka’b ibn Malik made a sajdah when he received the news that Allah had accepted his repentance. Ahmad records that ‘Ali performed the sajdah when he heard the news that Zhul-Thudayyah of the Khawarij was killed. Also, as mentioned before, Sa’id ibn Mansur recorded that Abu Bakr made sajdah in thankfulness when Musailimah was killed.

The prostration of thankfulness is bound by the same requirements as the prostration in prayer, while some disagree as it is not a prayer. The author of Fath al-’Alam remarks: “This latter opinion is closer to being correct.” Ash-Shaukani said: “There is nothing in the hadith to prove that ablution and purity of the clothes and place are required for sajdat-us-shukr. And that is the opinion of Imam Yahya and Abu Talib. And these hadith are silent about any takbir being made with the prostration. In alBahr it is stated that there is a takbir. Imam Yahya says: ‘One is not to make the prostration of thankfulness during a prayer as it is not part of the prayer.’”

Mention of Word InshaALLAH in the Holy Quran

In the Name of ALLAH the Most Beneficent and the Merciful

1.) Surah Kahf Chapter 18

[18:023] And never say of anything, "I shall do such and such thing tomorrow."

[18:024] Except (with the saying), "If Allâh wills!" And remember your Lord when you forget and say: "It may be that my Lord guides me to a nearer way of truth than this."

2.) Soorah al-Qalam chapter 68

[68:017] Verily, We have tried them as We tried the People of the Garden, when they swore to pluck the fruits of the (garden) in the morning,

[68:018] Without saying: In shâ' Allâh (If Allâh wills).

[68:019] Then there passed by on it (the garden) a visitation (fire) from your Lord (at night and burnt it) while they were asleep.

3.) [37:102] And, when he (his son) was old enough to walk with him, he said: "O my son! I have seen in a dream that I am slaughtering you (offering you in sacrifice to Allâh). So look what you think!" He said: "O my father! Do that which you are commanded, In shâ' Allâh (if Allâh wills), you shall find me of As-Sâbirûn (the patient)."

4.) [Chapter 2.70] They said, "Call upon your Lord for us to make plain to us what it is. Verily, to us all cows are alike. And surely, if Allâh wills, we will be guided."

5.) [48:027] Indeed Allâh shall fulfil the true vision which He showed to His Messenger [sal-Allâhu 'alayhi wa sallam] [i.e. the Prophet saw a dream that he has entered Makkah along with his Companions, having their (head) hair shaved and cut short] in very truth. Certainly, you shall enter Al-Masjid Al-Harâm, if Allâh wills, secure, (some) having your heads shaved, and (some) having your head hair cut short, having no fear. He knew what you knew not, and He granted before that a near victory.

6.) [12:099] Then, when they came in before Yûsuf (Joseph), he took his parents to himself and said: "Enter Egypt, if Allâh wills, in security."

7.) [18:069] [Mûsâ (Moses)] said: "If Allâh wills, you will find me patient, and I will not disobey you in aught."

8.) [28:027] He said: "I intend to wed one of these two daughters of mine to you, on condition that you serve me for eight years; but if you complete ten years, it will be (a favour) from you. But I intend not to place you under a difficulty. If Allâh wills, you will find me one of the righteous."

My Lord! Increase me in knowledge.[Soorah TaaHaa 20:114]

A Dua for Unity

رَبَّنَا اغْفِرْ لَنَا وَلِإِخْوَانِنَا الَّذِينَ سَبَقُونَا بِالْإِيمَانِ وَلَا تَجْعَلْ فِي قُلُوبِنَا غِلًّا لِّلَّذِينَ آمَنُوا رَبَّنَا إِنَّكَ رَءُوفٌ رَّحِيمٌ

Our Lord! Forgive us and our brethren who have preceded us in Faith, and put not in our hearts any hatred against those who have believed. Our Lord! You are indeed full of kindness, Most Merciful.[59:10]
