(•۝• ѴƲ cℓʋв •۝•) Is saying "Jumu'ah Mubarak" a Bid'ah?

---------- Forwarded message ----------

Allah – beginning with the name of – the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful. Praise is to Him who guided the believers to the truth. And may His blessings and salutations be upon our master Muhammad, the seal of the Prophets and the coolness of our eyes.

A message is being widely circulated these days that it is impermissible to greet Jumu'ah Mubarak and that it is a bid'ah (May Allah Forbid). First and foremost, one should understand that the salaf of this ummah have explained bid’ah (innovation) as being of two fundamental types:

In the Sahih of al-Imam al-Bukhari, it is mentioned that Sayyiduna Umar ibn al-Khattab (Radi Allahu Ta'ala Anhu) stated concerning the 20 rak’ats of tarawih prayer, in congregation, behind one imam:

“What a good bid’ah it is!”

Al-Hafidh al-Imam al-Bayhaqi (Alayhir Rahmah) narrates through a sahih isnad (authentic chain of transmission) in Manaqib al-Imam al-Shafi'i, that Muhammad ibn Musa ibn al-Fadl narrated to us that Abu al-'Abbas al-Assam narrated to him that Rabi' ibn Sulayman narrated to him that al-Imam ash-Shafi'i informed him:

“The newly-invented matters from the affairs are of two kinds: One of them is whatever is innovated contravening the Book, or the Sunnah, or a narration, or a consensus, then this is an innovation of misguidance (al-bid'atu al-dalalatu). The second is whatever is innovated of the good which does not contravene any of these, then this is an innovation which is not blameworthy (Ghayru Mazmumatin).”

Regarding congratulating one another on the day of ‘Eid, al-Sayyid ibn ‘Aabideen al-Shami (Alayhir Rahma) relates from al-Muhaqqiq ibn ‘Aamir Haaj (Alayhir Rahmah) that he considered it: ‘Ja’iz’ (permissible) and ‘Mustahabb’ (commendable) in general. He also considered the wording popular in his time: ‘Eidun Mubarakun Alayka’ (a blessed Eid upon you) to take the same rule. He has mentioned:

“Supplication for barakah (blessing) in many affairs has reached us, thus the commendability of supplication for it here (on the day of ‘Eid) can be taken from that.” [Radd al-Muhtar, Vol. 2, Page 169]

The barakah of Jumu’ah and its being a day of eid is clear in the Prophetic Ahadith such as in the hadith of the Sahih of Ibn Hibban where it is mentioned that the Prophet (SallAllahu Alayhi wa Sallam) said regarding the day of Jumu’ah:

“Verily it is a day of Eid.” [Sahih Ibn Hibban, Hadith 3610]

In a further hadith of the Sunan of Ibn Majah it is mentioned that the Prophet (SallAllahu Alayhi wa Sallam) said:

“Verily the day of Jumu’ah is the master of days.” [Sunan ibn Majah, Hadith 1084]

The barakah of Jumu’ah is such that al-Hafidh Jalal al-Din al-Suyuti (Alayhir Rahmah) has gathered 100 special qualities related to it with supporting evidences in his work al-Lumu’ah fi Khasa’is al-Jumu’ah.

If one greets his brother with salam and then supplicates for him on the day of Jumu’ah saying "Jumu’ah Mubarak", then there is nothing in that which goes against the principles of the shari’ah which would make it a reprehensible bid’ah. In fact it is established that from the blessings of Jumu’ah is a hidden time in which the du’a of a slave is answered as in the hadith of the Sahih of al-Imam Muslim:

“Verily there is a time in the day of Jumu’ah, that no Muslim coincides with it supplicating to Allah for good except that Allah bestows it upon him.” [Sahih Muslim, Hadith 852]

The opinion of those who are not upon the Aqidah of the Ahl al-Sunnah wa al-Jama’ah is of no value in matters of Deen.

And Allah knows the best and His beloved Messenger knows the best.

(•۝• ѴƲ cℓʋв •۝•) EID MUBARAK TO ALL MY FRIENDS

(•۝• ѴƲ cℓʋв •۝•) Catlin Harrison ~ Abstract artist

A Londoner by birth and inclination, the city provides for me a fresh daily helping of eclectic people to watch and wonder about.
'I'm endlessly fascinated with the human form, especially meta-figures like ghosts or dolls or archetypes. Sometimes I think my work stems from a collectors' sensibility - particularly those Victorian do-gooders who pinned butterflies or measured skulls. Each piece of work is an independent specimen, a set of examples of a particular type.
Presence, oddity, beauty and humour are important elements in all my work, as is colour and aesthetics'.

حدثنا مسدد حدثنا يحيی عن شعبة عن قتادة عن أنس بن مالک عن أبي موسیٰ عن النبي صلی الله عليه وسلم قال المؤمن الذي يقرأ القرآن ويعمل به کالأترجة طعمها طيب وريحها طيب والمؤمن الذي لا يقرأ القرآن ويعمل به کالتمرة طعمها طيب ولا ريح لها ومثل المنافق الذي يقرأ القرآن کالريحانة ريحها طيب وطعمها مر ومثل المنافق الذي لا يقرأ القرآن کالحنظلة طعمها مر أو خبيث وريحها مر

صحیح بخاری:جلد سوم:حدیث نمبر 53 حدیث مرفوع مکررات 12 متفق علیہ 6
مسدد، یحیی ، شعبہ، قتادہ، انس بن مالک، ابوموسی رضی اللہ عنہ روایت کرتے ہیں کہ رسول اللہ صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم نے فرمایا جو مومن قرآن پڑھتا ہے اور اس پر عمل کرتا ہے وہ مثل سنگترے کے ہے، جس کا مزہ اچھا ہے اور بو بھی اچھی ہے اور جو مسلمان قرآن نہیں پڑھتا اور عمل کرتا ہے تو وہ کھجور کی طرح ہے کہ اس کا مزہ تو اچھا ہے، مگر بو کچھ نہیں اور اس منافق کی مثال جو قرآن پڑھتا ہے خوشبودار پھول کی طرح ہے کہ اس کی بو تو اچھی ہے، مگر مزہ کڑوا ہے، اور اس منافق کی مثال جو قرآن نہیں پڑھتا اندرائن کے پھل کی سی ہے، جس کا مزہ بھی برا ہے اور بو بھی خراب۔

Narrated Abu Musa:
The Prophet said, "The example of a believer who recites the Qur'an and acts on it, like a citron which tastes nice and smells nice. And the example of a believer who does not recite the Qur'an but acts on it, is like a date which tastes good but has no smell. And the example of a hypocrite who recites the Qur'an is like a Raihana (sweet basil) which smells good but tastes bitter And the example of a hypocrite who does not recite the Quran is like a colocynth which tastes bitter and has a bad smell."
Sahih Bukhari, Volume 3, Hadith No. 53

حدثنا مسلم بن إبراهيم حدثنا أبان عن قتادة عن أنس قال قال رسول الله صلی الله عليه وسلم مثل المؤمن الذي يقرأ القرآن مثل الأترجة ريحها طيب وطعمها طيب ومثل المؤمن الذي لا يقرأ القرآن کمثل التمرة طعمها طيب ولا ريح لها ومثل الفاجر الذي يقرأ القرآن کمثل الريحانة ريحها طيب وطعمها مر ومثل الفاجر الذي لا يقرأ القرآن کمثل الحنظلة طعمها مر ولا ريح لها ومثل الجليس الصالح کمثل صاحب المسک إن لم يصبک منه شي أصابک من ريحه ومثل جليس السو کمثل صاحب الکير إن لم يصبک من سواده أصابک من دخانه

سنن ابوداؤد:جلد سوم:حدیث نمبر 1425 حدیث مرفوع مکررات 12
مسلم بن ابراہیم، ابان، قتادہ، حضرت انس رضی اللہ تعالیٰ عنہ فرماتے ہیں کہ رسول اللہ صلی اللہ علیہ وآلہ وسلم نے فرمایا کہ وہ مومن جو قرآن کریم پڑھتا ہے اس کی مثال ترنج کی ہے کہ اس کی خوشبو بھی پاکیزہ ہے اور اس کا ذائقہ بھی عمدہ ہوتا ہے اور وہ مومن جو قرآن کریم پڑھتا نہیں ہے اس کی مثال کھجور کی سی ہے کہ اس کا ذائقہ تو عمدہ ہوتا ہے لیکن اس کی کوئی خوشبو عمدہ نہیں ہے اور اس فاسق وفاجر آدمی کی مثال جو قرآن کریم پڑھتا ہے ریحانہ کے پھل کی طرح ہے کہ اسکی خوشبو عمدہ ہوتی ہے لیکن اس کا ذائقہ کڑوا ہوتا ہے اور وہ فاجر آدمی جو قرآن کریم کی تلاوت نہیں
کرتا اس کی مثال حنظلہ کی ہے کہ اس کا ذائقہ بھی کڑوا ہوتا ہے اور خوشبو بھی کچھ نہیں ہوتی اور نیک آدمی کے ہم نشین کی مثال مشک والے کی سی ہے کہ اگر تجھے اس مشک میں سے کچھ بھی نہ ملے تو اس کی خوشبو تو تجھے پہنچے ہی گی اور برے آدمی کے ہم نشین کی مثال دھونکنے والے کی سی ہے کہ اگر اس کی کالک تجھے نہ بھی لگے لیکن اس کا دھواں تو تجھے ضرور پہنچے گا۔

Narrated Anas ibn Malik:
The Prophet (peace_be_upon_him) said: A believer who recites the Qur'an is like a citron whose fragrance is sweet and whose taste is sweet, a believer who does not recite the Qur'an is like a date which has no fragrance but has sweet taste, a profligate who recites the Qur'an is like basil whose fragrance is sweet but whose taste is bitter, and the profligate who does not recite the Qur'an is like the colocynth which has a bitter taste and has not fragrance. A good companion is like a man who has musk; if nothing of it goes to you, its fragrance will (certainly) go to you; and a bad companion is like a man who has bellows; if its (black) root does not go to you, its smoke will (certainly) go to you.
Sunan Abu Dawood, Volume 3, Hadith No. 1425
