IN THE FIRST HOUR

In the Name of Allāh.

Alḥamdulillāh, it’s another day of Jumu’ah. From the rulings of Jumu’ah prayer is getting to the Masjid (for prayer) at its early time (i.e. the first hour). As recorded in Ṣaḥīḥ al-Bukhārī and Ṣaḥīḥ Muslim, Abū Hurayrah (Raḍiyallāhu ‘Anhu) reported that the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: “Whoever does Ghusl on the day

WHAT IF IT STARTS TODAY?

In the Name of Allah.

Perfect Praise is to Allah, the Entirely Munificent and the Especially Gracious. It’s Yawm Al-Jumu’ah (Friday) again, the best of all days (in the week). This day indeed demands special attention as it’s an extraordinary day because of its exclusive boons. I’m sure we won’t want to miss out. There is no doubt that the one who loves this worldly life and does not think about …
