FOCUS ON YOUR MOSQUE JAMAA'AH

Whenever there is no turbulence but relative calm in the da'wah circle on the social media, it is an opportunity for us students of knowledge to focus on teaching the people the details of fiqh and creed matters that are so basic and yet hardly ever discussed with them before. The jalabi people in charge of most mosques neither saw the need nor have the knowledge themselves.

I can see much benefit in focusing on guiding the common folks in our neighbourhood mosques to appreciate the fundamentals of the Deen rather than only organising big events with grand lecture titles which they mostly cannot connect to, though both efforts have their relevance and benefits.

Appoint time for regular fiqh/creed sittings for them in your local mosque however little and you'll see how innocent and sincere many of them are. They've been in spiritual bo***ge in the hands of jalabites for too long.

Sheikh Abdulghaniy Jumuah said:

Dreams are of different types:

1. الرؤيا (Ar-Ru’yā) – the good dream that comes from Allah.

2. الحُلم (Al-Hulm) – the bad dream that comes from Shayṭān.

3. حديث النفس (Hadīth an-Nafs) – thoughts of the mind; what a person thinks about before sleeping, which he may then see in his dream.

When someone has a good dream (الرؤيا), there is no harm in narrating it to a beloved and trusted person.

But as for the bad dream (الحُلم), it should not be narrated to anyone not to those we love, nor to those we dislike. If a person keeps it to himself, it will not harm him by the permission of Allah. But once it is narrated and interpreted, there is the possibility that it may affect him.

Regarding حديث النفس, this is when a person thinks deeply about something before sleeping, and then he sees it in his dream. This also falls under الحُلم (bad dreams from Shayṭān). For example, one of the Ṣaḥābah once dreamt that his head was cut off and he was running after it. The Prophet ﷺ clarified that such dreams are from Shayṭān and hold no reality.

What to Do When One Has a Bad Dream

The Prophet ﷺ taught that if a person experiences a bad dream, he should:

- Spit lightly to his left side three times.

- Seek refuge in Allah from Shayṭān and from the evil of what he saw.

- Turn to the other side of his bed.

- Not narrate the dream to anyone.

- If he wishes, he may also get up and pray.

Some people may have dreams that come true. If a person sees something in his dream instructing him to do something, then:

- If it aligns with the Sharī‘ah, there is nothing wrong in acting upon it.

- But if it contradicts the Sharī‘ah, it must not be acted upon.

It is important that we remember that we do not take our Deen (religion) from dreams.

Sheikh also emphasized that not everyone whose dreams come true is a Walī (a pious friend of Allah). Even a kāfir (disbeliever) may have dreams that come true, but that does not make him a Walī. A kāfir may possess qualities such as honesty, chastity, or kindness to neighbors, but his kufr prevents him from being counted among the Awliyā’.

Thus, we cannot compare a sinful Muslim with a kāfir who has good worldly qualities. The sinful Muslim is still better, because of the Islām and Īmān that he possesses.

*Transcription of Today’s Class of our Beloved Teacher Sheikh Abdulghaniy Jumuah on the Book Mukhtasar Zād al-Ma‘ād.*

The excerpt was taken from the question about the ruling concerning Sister Night (the night of marriage).

Sheikh said:

The procedure and process of Nikāh (marriage) is as follows:

1. Khitbah : the marriage proposal.

2. ‘Aqd : the marriage contract.

3. Zifāf :the wedding procession/ceremony (bringing the bride into the husband’s house).

4. Binā’: consummation of the marriage

5. Walīmat an-Nikāh : the marriage banquet/feast.

Combining the ‘Aqd (marriage contract) and the Walīmah an-Nikāh (marriage feast) together on the same day, this was not common with the Salaf (the early generations of Muslims). It is something that only emerged later, and we find some Islamic sects taking this matter as something very important.

Another issue that occurs nowadays is that the family of the wife often takes responsibility for the Walīmah an-Nikāh. In reality, this is actually the responsibility and duty of the husband. If they assist or support the husband in carrying out this responsibility, then there's nothing wrong with that but for the wife’s family to take complete responsibility and be the ones to determine how the Walīmah an-Nikāh is organized this goes against the Sunnah. We do not need to kill the Sunnah (to abandon the Sunnah)in the name of practicing the Sunnah.

We are not saying that the Nikāh is invalid if the ‘Aqd and Walīmah an-Nikāh are done on the same day. Likewise, if the wife’s family takes up the responsibility of the Walīmah an-Nikāh—which is originally the duty of the husband we are not saying that the Nikāh does not hold in this case.

Nevertheless, for anyone wishing to adhere to the Sunnah, the correct order is as outlined. The Walīmah is the husband’s responsibility, and he should do it according to his ability. If others wish to help him, then that is permissible. But for the wife’s family to be the ones who take charge of the Walīmah and decide how it should be done is not in accordance with the Sunnah.
