Occupy Yourselves with Listening to the Qur'an NOT "Islamic Rap" - Hasan as-Somali

Here is a beautiful reminder for us all about the importance of occupying our time beneficially by listening to the Qur'an, rather than wasting our time on innovative practices such as listening to nasheeds (Islamic Rap).  

In this beautiful reminder by Hasan as-Somali (hafidhahullah Ta'ala) is this much-needed reminder about the importance of the Qur'an in our lives.  

Highlighting the importance of remaining quiet and listening when someone recites Ayaat from the Qur'an.

May Allah enable us to understand and implement that which we hear, Aameen.

The False Principle of al-Muwazanaah - Abu Iyaad Amjad Rafiq

Here is a benefit that has been extracted from a lecture delivered by Abu Iyaad Amjad Rafiq (hafidhahullah Ta'ala) titled: The Ruling on Killing Oneself.  This lecture is from a series titled: A Selection of Lessons - Shaykh Ubayd al-Jabiree.  

Whilst dealing the with ruling on killing oneself, Shaykh 'Ubayd al-Jabiree (rahimahullah Ta'ala) addresses the subject matter of al-Muwazanaah, a false principle of the people of innovation in which they state that if you refute an individual is it also a condition that you must mention the good that they may have done, in order to be just and balanced.

This principle is refuted by our Shaykh (rahimahullah Ta'ala).

The Ruling on a Bus Driver Shortening His Prayers - Abul-Hasan Malik al-Akhdar

The following is an audio that was posted on the Telegram Channel of Abul-Hasan Malik al-Akhdar (hafidhahullah Ta'ala), regarding the following:

He (hafidhahullah Ta'ala) stated: Recently, I was asked by a questioner about a driver who regularly takes passengers outside the city limits. Is this person considered a traveler, allowing them to shorten and combine their prayers, or are they considered a resident, requiring them to perform the four prayers at their designated times?

He (hafidhahullah Ta'ala) decided to respond with the answer that was given to a similar question by Shaykh al-Albaanee (rahimahullah Ta'ala).

Praying Optional Prayers Before the Coming of the ّImam (Khateeb) - Abu Adam Jameel Finch

During the ongoing series of lectures delivered by Abu Adam Jameel Finch (hafidhahullah Ta'ala) based around the reading of al-Mulakhas al-Fiqhee by Shaykh al-Fawzaan (hafidhahullah Ta'ala), in the 43rd lecture he brings a point of benefit regarding those that come to the Jumu'ah prayer early, praying optional prayers until the arrival of the Imam (khateeb) to deliver his khutbah.

One of points quoted by Shaykh al-Fawzaan (hafidhahullah Ta'ala) is the following statement of Ibn Taymiyyah (rahimahullah Ta'ala):
 
"It is more for a Muslim who goes early to the masjid for the Jumu'ah Prayer to perform voluntary prayers until the imām comes (to deliver the sermon). It is stated in a sahih (authentic) hadith that the Prophet (sallallaahu 'alaihi wa sallam) said, '...Then he may perform prayer as much as (Allah has) willed for him..'" Moreover, the words of the Prophet (sallallaahu 'alaihi wa sallam) urge Muslims to perform voluntary prayers when they enter the masjid before the sermon on Friday, without determining a specific time (to do that). It is also narrated that the Companions used to perform voluntary prayers as much as they could when they entered the masjid before the sermon on Friday". It could happen that one of them perform ten, twelve or eight rakahs (units of prayer), and sometimes more or less than that. That is why the majority of scholars agree that there is no specific time or number for the voluntary prayer before the Jumu'ah Prayer and this voluntary prayer is considered a good deed, not a sunnah rātibah (a regularly-observed supererogatory prayer). Thus, according to the soundest view, a Muslim is not legally blamed whether or not he performs voluntary prayer before the Jumu'ah Prayer. However, if ignorant people believe that it is a sunnah rātibah, then, in this case, giving up this voluntary prayer will be better." [Majmú ul-Fatâwa (22/189-190)].

Here is that audio benefit:
