 All perfect praise be to Allaah, The Lord of the Worlds. I testify that there is none worthy of worship except Allaah and that Muhammad, sallallaahu ʻalayhi wa sallam, is His Slave and Messenger.  It is impermissible to sell the purchased item before taking possession of it first. Zayd ibn Thaabit  may  Allaah  be  pleased  with  him said, "Do not sell it in the spot where you have bought it until you take it to your house for the Messenger of Allaah, sallallaahu ʻalayhi wa sallam, forbade to sell the goods where they are bought until the traders take them into their possession." [Abu Dawood] It has been narrated on the authority of Ibn ʻAbbaas  may  Allaah  be  pleased  with  him that the Prophet, sallallaahu ʻalayhi wa sallam, also forbade the resale of foodstuff by somebody who had bought it unless he had received it with exact full measure. [Al-Bukhari, Muslim, and others] Ibn ʻAbbaas  may  Allaah ...

 Shabe e baraat bida innovation In the name of Allah, We praise Him, seek His help and ask for His forgiveness. Whoever Allah guides none can misguide, and whoever He allows to fall astray, none can guide them aright. We bear witness that there is no one (no idol, no person, no grave, no prophet, no imam, no dai, nobody!) worthy of worship but Allah Alone, and we bear witness that Muhammad (saws) is His slave-servant and the seal of His Messengers.   Your Question: What does Islam say about Shab e Barat There is absolutely no evidence in the authentic Sunnah whereby the Messenger of Allah (saws) or his noble companions or family ever celebrated or commemorated the night of Shabe-Baraat, nor did he (saws) ever offer any special prayers on this night, nor did he (saws) ever command the believers to do anything special on this night!     It is the absolute unanimous opinion of all the good jurists and scholars in Islam that there is to be no special commemoration or cel...

 Working out how much Zakat to pay and how to pay it can be sometimes difficult and for that reason, we have created this short guide. We’ve broken down some of the most common questions and cleared up the main misconceptions about Zakat. While you’re here, you can also use our Zakat calculator or read our Zakat policy. What is Zakat and why is it important to me? ‘You shall observe the Salah and give the obligatory charity (Zakat), and bow down with those who bow down.’ (Qur’an 2:43) Zakat is the third pillar of Islam. It is an obligatory act of charity amounting to 2.5% of a Muslim’s annual savings. Zakat is intended to purify our wealth, not only physically, but also spiritually. It purifies our heart against selfishness as well as ensuring that society’s poorest are protected against hunger and destitution.  A common misconception is that Zakat is a form of tax. However, it is a spiritual obligation in which we will be accountable to Allah directly. Zakat plays a key role ...

  ✦ Abu Huraira reported Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ) as saying: If any owner of gold or silver does not pay (Zakat)what is due on him, when the Day of Resurrection would come, plates of fire would be beaten out for him; these would then be heated in the fire of Hell and his sides, his forehead and his back would be cauterized with them. Whenever these cool down, (the process is) repeated during a day the extent of which would be fifty thousand years, until judgment is pronounced among servants, and he sees whether his path is to take him to Paradise or to Hell. Sahih Muslim, Book 5, 2161
