Three Powerful Supplications of Angel Jibreel

Three Powerful Supplications of Jibreel.

Kaab Ibn Ujrah (radiallahu anhu) relates that the Messenger of Allah (sallallahu alayhi wasalam) said: “Come near to the minbar”, and we came near the minbar.

When he climbed the first step of the minbar, he said “Ameen”, When he ascended the second step, he said “Ameen”, When he climbed the third step, he said “Ameen”. When he came down, We said: “O Messenger of Allah (salallahu alayhi wasalam), we have heard from you today something which we never heard before.”

He said: “When I climbed the first step, the angel Jibreel (alayhi salam) appeared before me and said:
“Destruction to him who found the blessed month of Ramadhan and let it pass by without gaining forgiveness”, upon that I said ‘Ameen’.

When I climbed the second step, he (Jibreel) said:
“Destruction to him before whom thy name is mentioned and he does not make Du’a for Allah’s blessing on you (by saying, for example sallallahu alayhi wasalam).”, I replied ‘Ameen’.

When I climbed the third step, he said:
“Destruction unto him in whose lifetime his parents or either one of them reaches old age, and (through failure to serve them) he is not allowed to enter Jannah”., I said ‘Ameen’.”

[Ibn Hibbaan]

Things that invalidate the Fast

- Intercourse
- Masturbation
- Eating and drinking
- Anything that is regarded as coming under the same heading as eating and drinking
- Letting blood by means of cupping and the like
- Vomiting deliberately
- Menstruation and Nifaas 

-- Intercourse 
This is the most serious and the most sinful of the things that invalidate the fast. 
Narrated Abu Huraira:
While we were sitting with the Prophet (ﷺ) a man came and said, "O Allah's Messenger (ﷺ)! I have been ruined." Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) asked what was the matter with him. He replied "I had sexual intercourse with my wife while I was fasting." Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) asked him, "Can you afford to manumit a slave?" He replied in the negative. Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) asked him, "Can you fast for two successive months?" He replied in the negative. The Prophet (ﷺ) asked him, "Can you afford to feed sixty poor persons?" He replied in the negative. The Prophet (ﷺ) kept silent and while we were in that state, a big basket full of dates was brought to the Prophet (ﷺ). He asked, "Where is the questioner?" He replied, "I (am here)." The Prophet (ﷺ) said (to him), "Take this (basket of dates) and give it in charity." The man said, "Should I give it to a person poorer than I? By Allah; there is no family between its (i.e. Medina's) two mountains who are poorer than I." The Prophet (ﷺ) smiled till his premolar teeth became visible and then said, 'Feed your family with it."
Sahih al-Bukhari 1936

-- Masturbation
The evidence that masturbation is one of the things that invalidate the fast is the words of Allah in which He says of the fasting person:

Narrated Abu Huraira:
Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) said, (Allah says about the fasting person), 'He has left his food, drink and desires for My sake. The fast is for Me. So I will reward (the fasting person) for it and the reward of good deeds is multiplied ten times."
Sahih al-Bukhari 1894

Causing ejaculation comes under the heading of the desire which the fasting person gives up. 
Whoever masturbates during the day in Ramadan has to repent to Allah and refrain from eating and drinking for the rest of the day, and he has to make up that fast later on. 
If he starts to masturbate then stops without ejaculating, he has to repent, but his fast is still valid, and he does not have to make it up later because he did not ejaculate. The fasting person should keep away from everything that provokes desire and shun bad thoughts. 
With regard to the emission of madhiy (prostatic fluid), the most correct view is that it does not invalidate the fast. 

-- Eating and drinking
This refers to food or drink reaching the stomach via the mouth. 
If anything reaches the stomach via the nose, this is like eating or drinking. 

Asim bin Laqit bin Sabrah narrated:
From his father who said: "I said. 'O Messenger of Allah! Inform me about Wudu.' So he said: "Perform Wudu well, and go between the fingers, and perform Istinshaq (excessive amounts of water into the nose) extensively except when fasting."
Jami` at-Tirmidhi 788

If water reaching the stomach via the nose did not invalidate the fast, the Prophet (ﷺ) would not have told those who are fasting not to snuff up water deeply into the nose. 

-- Anything that is regarded as coming under the same heading as eating and drinking

This includes two things: 
- Transfusion of blood to one who is fasting – such as if he bleeds heavily and is given a blood transfusion. This invalidates the fast because blood is formed from food and drink.
- Receiving via a needle (as in the case of a drip) nourishing substances which take the place of food and drink, because this is the same as food and drink.
With regard to injections which do not replace food and drink, rather they are administered for the purpose of medical treatment – such as penicillin or insulin – or are given to energize the body, or for the purpose of vaccinations, these do not affect the fast, whether they are intravenous or intramuscular (injected into a vein or a muscle).
- Letting blood by means of cupping and the like

Narrated Shaddad b. Aws:
The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) came to a man at al-Baqi' while he was cupping on the 18th of Ramadan; he (the Prophet) was holding my hand. Thereupon he said: A man who cups and a man who gets himself cupped break their fast.
Sunan Abu Dawud 2369

Donating blood comes under the same heading as cupping, because it affects the body in the same way.
Based on this, it is not permissible for a person who is fasting to donate blood unless it is essential, in which case it is permissible. In that case, the donor has broken his fast and must make up that day later on. 
If a person suffers a nosebleed, his fast is valid, because that happened involuntarily.
With regard to bleeding that results from extraction of a tooth, surgery or a blood test etc., that does not invalidate the fast because it is not cupping or something that is similar to cupping, unless it has an effect on the body similar to that of cupping. 

-- Vomiting deliberately

Narrated Abu Hurairah:
The Prophet (ﷺ) said: if one has a sudden attack of vomiting while one is fasting, no atonement is required of him, but if he vomits intentionally he must make atonement.
Sunan Abu Dawud 2380

Whoever vomits deliberately by sticking his finger in his throat, pressing his stomach, deliberately smelling something nasty or persisting in looking at something that makes him vomit, has to make up his fast later on. 
If his gorge rises, he should not suppress it, because that will harm him. 

-- Menstruation and Nifaas 

Narrated Abu Sa`id Al-Khudri:
The Prophet (ﷺ) said: “Is it not the case that when she gets her menses, she cannot pray or fast?” 
Sahih al-Bukhari 304 

When a woman sees the blood of her period or nifaas (post-partum bleeding), her fast becomes invalid even if that is one moment before sunset. 
If a woman feels that her period has started but no blood comes out until after sunset, her fast is still valid. 
If the bleeding of a woman who is menstruating or in nifaas ceases at night and she has the intention of fasting, then dawn comes before she does ghusl, the view of all the scholars is that her fast is valid.
It is preferable for a woman to keep to her natural cycle and to accept that which Allah has decreed for her, and not to take any medicine to prevent her period. She should accept what Allah has decreed for her of not fasting during her period, and make up those days later on. This is what the Mothers of the Believers and the women of the Salaf used to do. In addition, it has been medically proven that these means of preventing menstruation are harmful and many women have suffered menstrual irregularities as a result. If a woman takes pills and her period stops as a result, that is fine, she can fast and her fast is acceptable. 
These are things that invalidate the fast. All of them – apart from menses and nifaas – only invalidate the fast if three conditions are met: that the person was aware of the ruling and not ignorant of it; that he did it knowingly and not out of forgetfulness; and that he did it by choice and was not forced to do it.

Things that do not invalidate the Fast

- Enemas, eyedrops, eardrops, tooth extraction and treatment of injuries do not invalidate the fast. 

- Medical tablets that are placed under the tongue to treat asthma attacks etc, so long as you avoid swallowing any residue.

- Insertion of anything into the vagina such as pessaries, or a speculum, or the doctor’s fingers for the purpose of medical examination. 

- Insertion of medical instruments or IUD into the womb. 

- Anything that enters the urinary tract of a male or female, such as a catheter tube, or medical scopes, or opaque dyes inserted for the purpose of x-rays, or medicine, or a solution to wash the bladder. 

- Fillings, extractions or cleaning of the teeth, whether with a siwaak or toothbrush, so long as you avoid swallowing anything that reaches the throat. 

- Rinsing the mouth, gargling, sprays etc. so long as you avoid swallowing anything that reaches the throat. 

- Oxygen or anaesthetic gases, so long as that does not give the patient any kind of nourishment. 

- Anything that may enter the body via absorption through the skin, such as creams, poultices, etc. 

- Insertion of a fine tube via the veins for diagnostic imaging or treatment of the veins of the heart or any part of the body. 

- Insertion of a scope through the stomach wall to examine the intestines by means of a surgical operation (laparoscopy). 

- Taking samples from the liver or any other part of the body, so long as that is not accompanied by administration of solutions. 

- Endoscopy, so long as that is not accompanied by administration of solutions or other substances. 

- Introduction of any medical instruments or materials to the brain or spinal column.

Three hours not to be missed during Ramadan

 There are three hours each day in Ramadan not to be missed at all costs.

➡️First Hour --- Hour before breaking your fast

Prepare your meal early and dedicate this time for dua because the supplication of a fasting person before he breaks his fast is never rejected. Pray for yourself, your loved ones and the whole Ummah. And don't forget our brothers and sisters being oppressed around the world and those who have passed away among the Muslims as they need your dua.

➡️Second Hour --- Hour in the last third of the night

This next hour is around the last third of the night. Dedicate this time with plenty of dua and seeking forgiveness as it's a time when Allah SWT descends to the lowest heaven calls out: ‘Who will call upon Me, that I may answer Him? Who will ask of Me, that I may give him? Who will seek My forgiveness, that I may forgive him?’”

➡️Third Hour --- The Hour after the Fajr prayer until sunrise

The last hour should be spent after the Fajr until sunrise with lots of dhikr (remembrance of Allah) and reading Quran.

The Messenger of Allaah (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said: “Whoever prays Fajr in congregation then sits remembering Allaah until the sun rises, then prays two rak’ahs, will have a reward like that of Hajj and ‘Umrah.” He said: The Messenger of Allaah (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said: “In full, in full, in full.”
This hadeeth was classed as hasan by al-Albaani in Saheeh al-Tirmidhi.

Seeking Refuge From Trials Grave

-- Seeking Refuge from Trials of Grave --
(After Reciting Durood Ibrahim)

Abu Huraira reported: The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said:

When any one of you utters tashahhud (in prayer) he must seek refuge with Allah from four (trials) and should thus say:

Allahumma Inni Auzu Bika Min Azhabil Qabr, Wa Min Azhabin Nar, Wa Min Fitnatil Mahya Wa Imamat, Wa Min Sharri Fitnatil Masih Ad-Dajjal

O Allah! I seek refuge with You from the torment of the grave, from the torment of the Hell, from the trial of life and death and from the evil of the trial of Masih al-Dajjal (Antichrist).

Sahih Muslim 588 a

Punishment Of Grave (Things To Avoid)

Punishment of Grave (things to avoid) --

 Backbiting and Spreading Rumor

 Not Reciting Quran and Acting according to its orders

 Zina (adultery) 

 Interest (Riba)

 Urine on clothes and Calumnies (to make enmity between friends)

 As for the one whose cheek you saw being torn away, he was a liar and he used to tell lies, and the people would report those lies on his authority till they spread all over the world. So, he will be punished like that till the Day of Resurrection.

 The one whose head you saw being crushed is the one whom Allah had given the knowledge of Qur'an (i.e. knowing it by heart) but he used to sleep at night (i.e. he did not recite it then) and did not use to act upon it (i.e. upon its orders etc.) by day; and so this punishment will go on till the Day of Resurrection.

 And those you saw in the hole (like oven) were adulterers (those men and women who commit illegal sexual intercourse).

 And those you saw in the river of blood were those dealing in Riba (usury).

 One of them never saved himself from being soiled with his urine, while the other was going about with calumnies (to make enmity between friends).

Sahih al-Bukhari 1386

Angels

We should make sure that the life we lead is one that is in the path of Allah and the Sunnah of our Prophet Muhammad (ﷺ). That life would determine our habits and our purity and that would echo in the last days till we meet our death. So, we have to understand that the way we live determines the way we die. May Allah make us among those who are righteous and of strong faith.

1) La ilaha illaAllah as last words leads to Paradise

Narrated Mu’adh bin Jabal :
The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) as saying: If anyone's last words are La ilaha ill-Allah (There is no god but Allah)" he will enter Paradise.
Sunan Abu Dawud 3116

2) How Angels deal with the Pious and the Wicked after they Die

By those (angels) who pull out (the souls of the disbelievers and the wicked) with great violence;
By those (angels) who gently take out (the souls of the believers);
Surah An Nazi'at 7:1-2

Those whose lives the angels take while they are in a pious state (i.e. pure from all evil, and worshipping none but Allah Alone) saying (to them): Salamun 'Alaikum (peace be on you) enter you Paradise, because of (the good) which you used to do (in the world)."
Surah An Nafl 16:32

And if you could but see when the angels take the souls of those who disbelieved... They are striking their faces and their backs and [saying], "Taste the punishment of the Burning Fire.
That is for what your hands have put forth [of evil] and because Allah is not ever unjust to His servants."
Surah Al Anfal 8:50-51

O you who believe! Fear Allah (by doing all that He has ordered and by abstaining from all that He has forbidden) as He should be feared. [Obey Him, be thankful to Him, and remember Him always], and die not except in a state of Islam (as Muslims) with complete submission to Allah.

Surah Ali 'Imran 3:102

Everyone shall taste death. And only on the Day of Resurrection shall you be paid your wages in full. And whoever is removed away from the Fire and admitted to Paradise, he indeed is successful. The life of this world is only the enjoyment of deception (a deceiving thing).
Surah Ali 'Imran 3:185

Who, when afflicted with calamity, say: "Truly! To Allah we belong and truly, to Him we shall return."
Surah Al Baqarah 2:156

But you prefer the worldly life,
While the Hereafter is better and more enduring.

Surah Al A’la 18:16-17
Indeed, those who have said, "Our Lord is Allah " and then remained on a right course - the angels will descend upon them, [saying], "Do not fear and do not grieve but receive good tidings of Paradise, which you were promised.
Surah Fussilat 41:30

3) Rememeber Death Often

It was narrated that Abu Hurairah said:
“The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: ‘Frequently remember the destroyer of pleasures,’ meaning death.”
Sunan Ibn Majah 4258

Laylatul Qadr

"Laylatul" means night and "Qadr" means measure. It falls on an odd night within the last 10 nights of Ramadan.

Its enigmatic specific date means we are encouraged to constantly engage in worship. It equates to worship (good deeds) of more than 83 years and 4 months. May Allah make us amongst the selected that will witness the night in the forthcoming blessed Month of the year.
