Abdur Rahman ibn Yusuf Mangera – Missing Friday Prayer (Hadith Commentary from Zad alTalibin)

Because Heidi's number 218 which says methodical Juniata mean lady

de Ruritan katiba Mona if you can fie Kitab in LA Yong Ha, what are

you but then

whatever misses the Friday prayer without any legitimate excuse will

be recorded a hypocrite, in a book that is never deleted nor changed.

hadith is related by Imam Shafi in his Muslim in his Hadith

collection, wherever misses the Friday prayer without any

legitimate excuse, will be recorded a hypocrite in a book

that is never deleted nor changed.

Right from the beginning, we can see that there is the room for an

excuse in the sense that whoever does it for illegitimate they

could be excuses. So this is someone who has no excuse, but

just leaves it abandons it, taking it lightly negligent, not thinking

it's important enough, making some other excuse. That is not a

legitimate excuse.

Because really, the Arabic word is not excuse, it's mean lady Dora,

without the without there being another need that was so important

for the person to fulfill, that he couldn't go, for example, he was

sick, he was ill, he had to take care of something was a life,

death matter, something of that nature. Or he had to travel

because the person who's traveling, there's no Jamal and

the person who's traveling.

So it says been laid in the rural without any other need that

superseded this obligation. So one, this is a very, this just

shows how the importance of Joomla is and obviously this relates to

men and not to women.

There are a number mentioned that, although it is

it says that will be recorded as a hypocrite in a book that is never

deleted or changed.

or Allah might have understood this not to be literal, in the

sense that Okay, once you do it if the make person makes Toba, if you

look at this, literally, if the person makes even though about

afterwards, and repents change the changes the ways

that means it's still going to be counted against them. No, we're

not to take this literally this is mentioned in an exaggerated manner

as a as to magnify the problem and magnify the danger of it just as

in other narrations, which says that a person of doing something

is not going to enter Paradise, which obviously means is not going

to enter paradise initially, or before he's punished for it. Or

like those who go in in the beginning, and so on, and so

forth. So here as well, what you've got is that really might

have mentioned will likely have clearly he released that the

record is not erased unless a person repents for having

committed the same. So that's the great thing, because the way that

hadith mentions this.

Clearly, missing jaw is not a cover, unless a person rejects the

obligation of Jumar, then it could be a cover, because at the end of

the day, Joomla is a solid like all others. And it's established

through absolute proof, definitive evidence and anybody who rejects

that is going to be considered a golfer. So if you want to take

this hadith, literally, then it's going to be in an extreme sense,

is that person who absolutely rejects Juma, then, you know,

maybe because of his golfer, and he remains like that doesn't

change his way, then yes, he's not going to be changed is going to be

considered a hypocrite, that he may be outwardly saying, I'm a

Muslim, but his belief about Joomla is leading him to abandon

the Joomla.

But if somebody does change their ways, then then we understand that

this hadith where he says that in a book that is never deleted, no

change unless the person makes Tober.

So if the person doesn't make Toba, it's not going to change,

it's going to be there. There is some discussion, though, about the

concept of our sins being written and recorded, and then are making

Toba of them. What exactly happens? We know from certain

Hadith like a 30 boomin of them be common law them better, that the

person who repents from sins is like the one who does not commit

sins in the first place. So based on that end, they both the same,

clearly there's going to be a distinction between the two.

Although it really depends because in some cases by verse and

commitment that committing a sin, their sense of sorrow actually

encourages them to do more good deeds, and to really make a great

repentance, as opposed to a person who's not committing any sins, but

they're just kind of continuing along and doing a basic amount of

good deeds. Sometimes a sin will be the impetus to do a lot more

great deeds. However, you don't want to risk that. I mean, you

don't want to look at this from the outset and things

Well, I can continue just to do good deeds and abstain from sins,

or I could do a major, major sin and then have so much Toba that I

could actually become better one why use that we just encourage

yourself otherwise is there are many Hadith of encouragement,

there's no need to go this way, because you're taking a major

risk.

So it's really difficult to actually say, who comes out

better. And then because it's all about what a person changes to

afterwards. The great thing about this, though, is that there's a

lot of hope, which is given an Islam. And that hope is built in

to this hadith as well. That's how we understand it, because the

sense of hope, and a sense of forgiveness, it dominates. It

dominates except go for obviously, except go for unless a person is

committing a sense of comfort through this by a very extreme

opinion of Joomla. That a person may have.

And this is another thing here is that

the

valid excuses would be traveled, for example, severe weather. And

when we say severe weather, if it's, I mean, sometimes we have

what we consider severe weather, but because of our amenities that

we have, and the facilities that we have of traveling, for example,

somebody has a car in the garage, so he doesn't even have to go

outside, wants to go shopping. So he or she goes down, gets in,

opens, the garage, gets in there, from the internal door, for

example, gets into the car warms it up, and then goes out, they

don't feel a bit of cold, they go, they go to the shopping mall, the

shopping center, wherever there's nice parking place covered

parking, you go in the mall, so relaxed. If a person could do

that, and the weather is not so severe, that is maybe you know, 15

inches of snow or something like that,

then fine, you don't have to go to the gym or, you know, meaning if

it's what I'm trying to say is that if it's so severe, that you

wouldn't go shopping, you don't go anywhere else, then fine. You

could make me miss Joomla. For that reason, although your

threshold for missing Joomla should be a lot higher, right?

Where you might give up going shopping, but you try that much

more even for Joomla. And this is again for men.

So that's the way you look at these things. That's the way you

look at these things. In fact, I think the way you should we should

look at this, because it is as important. Is that okay? If it's

such severe weather, and we're not going to go to the shopping,

because we can leave that for another day. We're not going to go

anywhere else. What about equating it to if we had to catch a flight,

we'd gone undergone a great difficulty to get a booking on a

particular day at a particular time. From, for example, the

airport that's two hours away from your house.

And will you undertake the journey from your place to the airport to

catch that flight in those conditions? If yes, right, then

you should go to war. And if not, then maybe that would be that

would be justified. However, having said that, if it's

dangerous, where you could be killed, or you could you could

attract some great disease or be injured or something of that

nature, then clearly you won't go anywhere anyway. Right unless

you're escaping from somewhere. In that case, it's permissible. I

know I'm really magnifying this, but it's a serious issue,

especially Jumar. The other prayers they could probably be

missed for slightly lower excuses. But Gemma is a lot more important.

Illness

just being a student, missing a class. I mean, that's one that

is a common question that comes up. We've got a class at this

time. I mean, the main thing is that you need to choose your

classes and then you need to discuss with the university and

most universities nowadays understand and that's why I've

actually seen it that many universities won't won't have

classes

on for example, that time on Friday, but we'll try to avoid

them as much as possible. If that's not possible, and there is

a class of that time, then what you need to do is that even if

you're going to miss it in the lesson, then you need to try to

establish a congregation. right even if it's a 1015 minute

congregation, as long as this four people in on one Imam and three

individuals, three men, then that then that would be valid for Jamar

congregation the Hanafi school the chef is require 4040 people in the

congregation for it to be a valid Juma. So having said that, if it's

difficult to run to the masjid and come back for work in a big

company that has a lot of Muslim employees and it's very difficult

to go to the masjid and come back then fine. Have a have any mom

come or train one of them to be able to at least need a gym opera.

because that's a very important community worship that Allah

subhanaw taala requires the normal Salawat you go to your local

masjid, but for the Juma you go to the jewel on Masjid meaning the

masjid for German, the German. And it's difficult in big cities to do

that nowadays because imagine if everybody had to come to one

Masjid in London or in Chicago in New York, I mean, it'd be two,

three hours, it'd be very difficult, right? Because we don't

have a day off on Friday, right for most for the most part. So

what's important though, is that there is a congregation everybody

comes together. It's a time when Muslims meet each other. That's

one of it's a social worship. It's a time when the community gets

together. And then on aid is when the whole community including the

people on the boundaries on the suburbs, they will come together

as one in one place.
