Fajr Prayer!!

Fajr Prayer!!

For many Muslims, fajr prayer can be the most challenging one. In that vein, there are many hadiths that speak to the great reward and blessing entailed in waking up for fajr prayer.

Abu Zuhayr Umara ibn Ruwayba رضي الله ﺗﻌﺎﻟﯽٰعنه said,
"I heard the Messenger of Allah صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ say,

'No one who used to pray before the rising of the sun and before its setting will enter the Fire," meaning Fajr and 'Asr."
[Muslim]

The Hair

The Hair

Tirmidhi Hadith (Hadith 1523)

Allah's Messenger (peace be upon him) was neither tall nor short, he had a large head and beard, the palms of his hands and his feet were calloused, he had a reddish tinge, he had large joints, the hair on his breast was long, and when he walked he bent forward as though he were descending a slope. I have never seen anyone like him before or since.

 * It is permissible for men to shave/trim their chest or stomach hair if required or due to any problem(like itching)

Sahih Al-Bukhari Hadith (Hadith 7.778)

Allah's Apostle said, "To shave the pubic hair, to clip the nails and to cut the mustaches short, are characteristics of the Fitra."

Sunan of Abu-Dawood Hadith (Hadith 1958)

The Apostle of Allah (peace be upon him) said: Do not pluck out grey hair. If any believer grows a grey hair in Islam, he will have light on the Day of Resurrection. (This is Sufyan's version). Yahya's version says: Allah will record on his behalf a good deed for it, and will blot out a sin for it.

Sunan of Abu-Dawood Hadith (Hadith 1931)

The Apostle of Allah (peace be upon him) forbade combing the hair except every second day.

Al-Tirmidhi Hadith (Hadith 1181)

Allah's Messenger (peace be upon him) forbade that a woman should shave her head.

Nasa'i transmitted it. 

*If someone's lice are troubling the person he can shave his head as shaving head is allowed in Islam.

Sunan of Abu-Dawood Hadith (Hadith 1955)

The Prophet (peace be upon him) saw a boy with part of his head shaved and part left unshaven. He forbade them to do that, saying: Shave it all or leave it all.

*A man is allowed to shave/trim his mustaches short but not to shave the beard by leaving it alone.

Sahih Al-Bukhari Hadith (Hadith 7.781)

Allah's Apostle said, "Cut the mustaches short and leave the beard (as it is)."

Al-Muwatta Hadith (Hadith 51.1)

Yahya related to me from Malik from Abu Bakr ibn Nafi from his father Nafi from Abdullah ibn Umar that the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, ordered the moustaches to be trimmed and the beard to be left.

Sahih Muslim Hadith (Hadith 118)

The Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) said: Trim closely the moustache, and grow beard, and thus act against the fire-worshippers. 

Abu Hurairah reported the Prophet, upon whom be peace, as saying, "Whoever has hair should honor it."

| Allah is the alone who knows best.

[17].Surah Al-Isra’ [The Journey By Night] also known as Surah Bani Israel [The Children of Israel]

English Translation of Al-Quran
[17].Surah Al-Isra’ [The Journey By Night] also known as Surah Bani Israel [The Children of
Israel]
Ayat 106. And (it is) a Qur’an which We have divided (into parts), in order that you might recite it to men at intervals. And We have revealed it by stages. (in 23 years).
[Tafseer] The marvel is that these parts, revealed at different times and in different circumstances, should fit together so closely and consistently as they do. All revelation is progressive. The previous revelations were also progressive. Each of them marked a stage in the world’s spiritual history. Man’s mind does not take in more than his spiritual state will have prepared him for. Allah’s revelation comes as a light to illuminate our difficulties and show us the way in actual situations that arise.

[Muslim Book 04, Chapter 133, Hadith # 1759]

English Translation of Hadith
Hazrat An-Nawwas bin Sam`an (May Allah be pleased with him) reported: I heard the Messenger of Allah [SAWW](PBUH) saying, "The Qur’an and its people who applied it, will be brought on the Day of Resurrection preceded with Surat Al-Baqarah and Surat Al-`Imran arguing on behalf of those who applied them.”
[Muslim
Book 04, Chapter 133, Hadith #
1759].
Lesson : as mentioned above in Surah Al-Isra Ayat 107. "when it is recited to them, fall down on their faces" This Hadith means that on the Day of Requital, the Qur’an, with Surat Al-Baqarah and Al-`Imran in the forefront, will intercede before Allah for those who used to recite and act upon them in the life of the world.

[17].Surah Al-Isra’ [The Journey By Night]

English Translation of Al-Quran
[17].Surah Al-Isra’ [The Journey By Night] also known as Surah Bani Israel [The Children of
Israel]
Ayat 107. Say (O Muhammad to them): "Believe in it (the Qur’an) or do not believe (in it). Verily! Those who were given knowledge before it (the Jews and the Christians like ‘Abdullah bin Salam and Salman Al-Farsi), when it is recited to them, fall down on their faces in humble prostration."
[Tafseer] No one’s belief or unbelief affects the beauty or grandeur of Allah’s revelation. But those endowed with spiritual knowledge or insight know at once when they hear Allah’s Holy Word, and fall down and adore Allah. Those endowed with knowledge include those who had received previous revelations and had kept themselves free from corrupt ideas.
