Registration Based Jumuah Prayer Guidance

January 2, 2021 by Sajid Umar 1 Comment

Before the Tier 4 Lockdowns in the United Kingdom I received many questions regarding Jumuah Salah sensitivities given the Covid-19 rules and short winter times.

In terms of the timings of the Salah, I’ve shared my advise on this privately to Imams who have written in, and it is for them to decide on the scope of ‘fiqhi’ precedence they wish to apply regarding this matter with their communities.

In terms of the extent of one’s effort to attend the Jumuah prayer, then for those who do not fear cathing Covid-19, or fear being a means of harming those who are considered vulnerable within the same household, I share the following seven points below for your consideration.

N.B. As for those who fear catching Covid-19, or fear becoming a means of harm falling upon those considered vulnerable in their households, the obligation of Jumuah would be lifted, with the Thuhr prayer taking its place. This was discussed in a dedicated video by myself earlier in 2020 when the first wave of mass lockdowns were implemented. See here.

As for the seven points related to this guidance, then these are as follows:

Oh Allah, guide me!

June 28, 2018 by Sajid Umar Leave a Comment

Assalamualaikum everyone. Here is a dua to pass onto those contemplating converting to Islam. It is even good for born Muslims too…

…

In the name of God the Merciful,

In the name of God the Guide,

In the name of God the Mighty,

In the name of God the One, the Invincible,

In the name of God, the Lord of all things and the King,

I bear witness that there is no one worthy of worship besides You,

Glory be to You; I am one of the oppressors.

O Allah, O Lord of this heart, and its Owner and its King…
guide this heart, for none can truly guide it besides you, there is no god other than You.

O God, I am from your creation, do not deprive us of your blessings,

please guide me, and set my heart upon your obedience, and bring us out of the darkness to the light, guide me to the true religion, for no one can truly guide anyone besides You. In You do I seek assistance, and in you do I place my trust, and to you does everything return back to.

O God, guide me, O King and Owner of everything, O one who is all capable over all things,

Glory be to You, there is no one worthy of worship besides You.

How to get Mercy and Protection from Allah?

May 20, 2018 by Sajid Umar Leave a Comment

There is nothing better for a believer except that he envelops himself with the mercy and protection of Allah Almighty.

The athkaar – morning and evening Duas – taught to us by our Role Model Muhammad ibn Abdullah (saw), are of great importance in the life of a believer.

We will inShaAllah be posting  the morning and evening Duas that are to be recited inside and outside of Ramadaan.

May Allah accept from us and grant us His protection against Shaytaan.

BaarakAllahu feekum

Reality

Indeed the heart screams and the eyes tear, and Allah Almighty is enough for us.

https://www.aljazeera.com/amp/news/2018/04/afghan-air-attack-kills-children-kunduz-religious-school-180403064510386.html

The children huffaath killed as a result of the Kundooz air strike in Afghanistan are safe with Allah. Their parents inShaAllah will be crowned in the hereafter as a result of their children’s hifth and their patience.

As for the perpetrators of this attrocity; an aayah comes to mind:

“Do these people not realize that they will be raised up, on a mighty day,
a Day when everyone will stand before the Lord of the Worlds?”.

(surah alMutaffifeen, 4-6)

Do not become desensitised to atrocities. We have to feel the extent of this catastrophe.

Pray for the parents of the children and innocent around the world.

May Allah protect us all and grant ease and mercy to the oppressed.

Indeed Allah Almighty is enough for His slaves…

Bitcoin! Let’s talk about it…

February 11, 2018 by Sajid Umar Leave a Comment

Since the last few months I have been kept busy with questions about cryptocurrencies in general and Bitcoin in particular.

The correspondence regarding this matter was further hiked with the passing of a few fatwas concerning these currencies with a strong airing of these currencies being forbidden (Haraam).

Furthermore, some of you came across a couple of twitter posts of mine related to Bitcoin, and an understanding in some circles was formulated stating that I have passed a fatwa stating it to be permissible (halal).

Given the sensitive nature of the topic and its questions; I quickly share the following points with the objective of covering the answers to the questions being asked.

Disclaimer: This is not an article nor a detailed response, but rather a guidance piece.

1. Irrespective of any private advice I have provided regarding Bitcoin; I have not passed a fatwa stating that Bitcoin is in and of itself forbidden, or that buying/selling is impermissible if done within the framework of Islamic Transactions from an Islamic Fiqh perspective. It is also true that I have refrained from publicly sharing my view in a particular way, and this is due to the sensitive nature of cryptocurrencies generally and Bitcoin specifically, and the fact that more time, research and deliberation regarding the topic are required before an absolute view can be taken by the scholarly fraternity generally and myself specifically. There are also many technicalities regarding its trade as well which Islamic ‘Fiqh’ would look at independently, and this conservatism is a natural consequence of any new matter that is considered as established or unestablished in a relative way. The Islamic jurisprudence framework pertaining to Bitcoin and it’s exchange will be looked at and refined over time which will have a bearing on any fatwa considerations naturally, highlighting how difficult it is to develop a well rounded conclusive fatwa at this moment in time.

As a result, and learning from some of the scholars of who have specialised in economics, trade and transactions, we find a few thoughts being floated regarding Islam’s possible position on Bitcoin specifically, which are as follows:

Firstly: Regarding its reality:

a) Some have opined that Bitcoin is a  currency, despite not meeting the extent of what constitutes a currency from an Islamic Jursiprudence perspective. This view is based on Bitcoin’s reason of creation and it’s objectives.

b) Some have opined that it is a type of product  due to it not meeting the extent of what constitutes a currency from an Islamic Jursiprudence perspective, and since matters are judged based on their actual reality, calling it a currency does not create any binding considerations accordingly.

c) Some have taken the view that Bitcoin isn’t a currency nor is a type of product.

d) Some have chosen to abstain from weighing into the discussion at this point in time due to having insufficient reason to justify holding an opinion concerning this specific matter.

Secondly: Regarding trading in Bitcoin

a) Some have opined that it is Islamically permissible to trade in Bitcoin due to it being a form of currency or product. However, upon the view of it being a currency, the rules of Riba apply to the trade particulars of all related transactions accordingly.

b) Others have opined that is is Islamically impermisisble to trade in Bitcoin

c) A third view which follows the lines of the first view, but states that during ‘bubble’ periods it would not be permissible to purchase Bitcoin due to its volatility. The addendum listed in this third view is something I voiced on my social media channels during Bitcoin’s period of inflation, which I believe some understood to be an expression of an absolute ‘fiqhi’ conclusion of permissibility regarding Bitcoin held by me.

2. I respect the fatwa of the scholars and duaat who have come out stating the purchase/sale of the currency to be impermissible, and believe they have made some valid points in their reasoning. That said; I also disagree with some of the reasonings offered in substantiation of their concluded views, and my agreement and disagreement with them in these matters is part of a natural discourse with regards to matters of this nature.

Parenting advice.

January 21, 2018 by Sajid Umar Leave a Comment

In my time working with parents & children, I’ve come to realise & learn that the transfer of *trust* creates value in our parenting abilities.

Make your children trust you, and I mean really trust you; and *value* will be born in your relationship with them.

Think of adding *value* to their lives before *possessions* and you will begin to raise leaders, instead of children.

May Allah bless us and bless our children. Ameen.

Your brother,
Sajid Umar

Leading the salah from the mihraab of Rassulullah (saw)

January 21, 2018 by Sajid Umar Leave a Comment

Assalamualaikum everyone. Many are asking about the latest pictures related to the Imams leading the salah from the mihraab of the Messenger (saw) in the rawdhah in Masjid Nabawi.

Upon further checking; it is reported that this will be the new system for the prayers in Masjid anNabawi after a successful trial of it. The reasoning shared for this new system is to facilitate better the movement of those wishing to pass through the graves of the Messenger (SAW) and his companions (RA), especially after each prayer, and especially since the Kingdom is working towards increasing the amount of visitors attending the Hajj and umrah in 2018 and the years thereafter.

Should there be any further updates; I will endeavour to update you all accordingly.

And Allah knows best.

Your brother
Sajid Umar
