Concept of Sawab [Passing reward & Thawab] according to Quran, Hadith

by Mufti Anas

Concept of Sawab [Passing reward & Thawab] according to Quran & Hadith and The legal status of the reward: Many people are confused about the reward which is known as thawab or sawab in common language.There are some agreed forms of reward, and some are not agreed. We have collected some useful knowledge on the topic in this article. We start the article with the agreed forms. We have mentioned them with their references.

Concept of Sawab [Passing reward & Thawab]

Dua, Istighfar, and financial charity.

Allah described the believers as they say to Allah, “O Lord! Forgive us, and our brothers who preceded with the sign of faith” (Al-Hashr 10).

The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said, “Ask forgiveness for your brothers.”

There are so many examples of financial charity in the hadith of the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him)

One came to the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) and asked him if I donate money as charity on behalf of my mother after passing her away, Will she get the reward? The Prophet (PBUH) replied affirmative and said: Yes, if the charity is from her, she will be rewarded. (Bukhari 1388 Muslim 1004)

Imam Muslim narrated from Abdullah Bin Mubarak there are no dispute about Sadqa.

He meant that sadqa’s reward reach the person.

Hajj

Hajj can be performed on behalf of another person.

On the occasion of the farewell pilgrimage, one of the companions discovered that my father had become very weak and could not ride by himself. Can I perform Hajj on behalf of him? The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said: Yes.

Qurbani

The reward of the sacrifice also reaches the deceased.

On the authority of Anas (R)The Prophet (May God bless him and grant him peace) sacrificed two beautiful horned rams, one from his umma and others and one from him. (Dar u Qutni 4761.)

Salah and Sawm

The opinions differ on the subject of the reward of prayer, and fasting that it reaches or not?

According to Imam Abu Hanifa and Imam Ahmad, the reward of prayer, fasting, and recitation of the Qur’an reaches while Imam Malik and Imam Shafi’i deny it.

The evidence of Imam al-Shafi’i and Imam Malik are as below

The verse in which Allah said,”

“There is not for man except that (good) for which he strives, and that his effort is going to be seen.”

The Hadith in which The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said,

“When a man dies, his deeds come to an end except for three things: Sadaqah Jariyah (ceaseless charity); a knowledge which is beneficial, or a virtuous descendant who prays for him (for the deceased).” [Muslim-Book 12, Hadith 8]

The evidence of who say it right are as below:

The Reward of the Qur’an reciting:

Hazrat Alaa (may Allah be pleased with him) bequeathed it to his son. When you complete my burial rituals, recite the verses of Surah Baqarah from the beginning and in the ending. I heard so, from the Messenger of God, may God bless him and grant him peace.

The reward of fasting:

Ibn ‘Abbas (Allah be pleased with them) reported:

A man came to the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) and said: O! Messenger of Allah, my mother has died (in a state) that she had to observe fasts of a month (of Ramadan). Should I complete (them) on her behalf? Thereupon he (the Holy Prophet) said: Would you not pay the debt if your mother had died (without paying it)? He said: Yes. He (the Holy Prophet) said: Allah’s debt deserves more that it should be paid.‏ (Sahih Muslim 1148 Bukhari 1953)

Allama Ibn Taymiyyah, Ibn Qayyim and Shaykh Muhammad ibn ‘Abd al-Wahhab have the same opinion.

This all about the reward and it’s legal status. Hope you feel better now after reading it.

Inshaallah Meaning in English (Complete Explained!)

by Mufti Anas

Inshaallah – Many people want to know the meaning of Insha allah and many people ask that where it is used and what is the use of that word. Especially our non-muslim brothers do not know about these words and they use them without knowing about them correctly.

Inshaallah

In this short article we will define the meaning of this word with some examples. Before start, I wish to tell you that every religion has taught his followers some terminologies to use having talk. But the Islam says to his followers to use supplication words at every time while taking like jazakallah,alhamdulillah,fi amanillah,saqakallah, atalallah,hadakallah and many others. We will discuss these words one by one. Let’s start with Insha Allah.

Insha’ Allah is the correct form of that word. In-sha’ Allah is the correct pronunciation of it.

Inshallah is not correct.

The word insha allah is an Arabic expression. And it is purely a Quranic phrase. In the holy book Quran Allah commanded to use In-sha’a Allah when speaking of future events.

Allah says: And never say about anything, “I will do this tomorrow unless you say if Allah wills.”

(18-23,24)

The phrase is commonly used by whole world in these days, especially in Arab countries, All muslim countries. All muslims use it to refer to events that one hopes will happen in the future.

It consists three words, in and sha’a and Allah. In stands in Arabic for if, sha’a stands for wills and Allah is Allah, the almighty God. So the meaning of In-sha’a Allah is if God wills.

There are some examples of In-sha’a Allah.

In-sha’a Allah, everything will be all right.

No, In-sha’a Allah this in coma

In-sha’a Allah we’ll have the privilege

You will earn well in the future, In-sha’a Allah

In-sha’a Allah, it’ll get me red potatoes, too

We shall see the better side of this, In-sha’a Allah

In-sha’a Allah, that desire will be fulfilled this morning.

In-sha’a Allah we won’t have to use it.

Shireen and, In-sha’a Allah, our children.

In-sha’a Allah we never have a catastrophe like that again.

Don’t worry They’ll be alright, In-sha’a Allah

In-sha’a Allah this youth puts on in road.

And In-sha’a Allah, we will all see Moscow soon.

In-sha’a Allah, we’ll finish tonight.

In-sha’a Allah I’ll come on Friday.

Durood Sharif (Everything You Need To Know with Images!)

by Mufti Anas

Durood Sharif – The wordings for DUROOD SHAREEF [the blessings on the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him)] that have been narrated in reports are many and various.

It is best for the Muslim to recite all of them, saying it in one form on one occasion and in another form on another occasion, and so on, so that he will have done all the sunnahs.

Durood Sharif

He should not limit himself only to some of them. But if that is too hard for him, then he should stick to what he is able to do, and there is no sin on him (Insha Allaah).

There follow some of the versions of DUROOD SHAREEF [the blessings on the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him)] that have been narrated in proven reports from the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) in the prayer.

#01 – Durood

Ibn Abi Laila reported: Ka’b ibn ‘Ujra met me and said: Should I not offer you a present (and added):

The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) came to us and we said, “We have learnt how to invoke peace upon you; (kindly tell us) how we should bless you.

He (the Holy Prophet) said: Say, “Allāhumma salli ‘ala Muhammadin wa ‘ala aāli Muhammadin kama salayta ‘ala āli Ibrāhīm, innaka hamīdun majīd. Allāhumma bārik ‘ala Muhammadin wa ‘ala aāli Muhammadin kama bārakta ‘ala aāli Ibrāhīma, innaka hamīdun majīd.”

(O Allah: bless Muhammad and his family as Thou did bless the family of Ibrahim (AS) Verily Thou are Praiseworthy and Glorious, O Allah).

Sahih Muslim, Book 4, Hadith 70

#02 – Durood

Abdullah ibn Zaid-{he who was shown the call (for prayer in a dream)} narrated it on the authority of Abu Mas’ud al-Ansari who said: We were sitting in the company of Sa’id ibn ‘Ubada when the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) came to us.

Bashir ibn S’ad said: Allah has commanded us to bless you. Messenger of Allah! But how should we bless you?

He (the narrator) said: The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) kept quiet (and we were so much perturbed over his silence) that we wished we had not asked him.

The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) then said: (For blessing me) say,

“Allāhumma salli ‘ala Muhammad wa ‘ala āli Muhammad kama salayta ‘ala āli Ibrāhīm, wa bārik ‘ala Muhammad wa ‘ala āli Muhammad kama bārakta ‘ala āli Ibrāhīm fil-‘ālamīn, innaka hamīdum majīd.”

(O Allah, bless Muhammad and the members of his household as Thou didst bless the mernbers of Ibrahim’s household. Grant favours to Muhammad and the members of his household as Thou didst grant favours to the members of the household of Ibrahim in the world. Thou art indeed Praiseworthy and Glorious)

and salutation as you know.”

(O Allah, verily, I submit myself to You, and I turn my face to You, and I entrust my affair to You, hoping in You and fearing in You. And I lay myself down depending upon You, there is no refuge [nor escape] from You except to You. I believe in Your Book which You have revealed, and in Your Prophet whom You have sent.”
