Message from the Eminent Scholar Ash-Sheikh Ata Bin Khalil Abu Al-Rashtah



Message from the Eminent Scholar Ash-Sheikh Ata Bin Khalil Abu Al-Rashtah to the visitors of his webpages on the occasion of the arrival of the Blessed Month of Ramadan for the year of 1436 AH corresponding to 2015 CE
All Praise belongs to Allah, and prayers and peace upon the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and upon his family, companions and those who follow him,
To the great Islamic Ummah, the best Ummah to be raised up for humankind…
To the carriers of the Da’wah, those true men who are not diverted by trade and business from the remembrance of Allah…
To the honourable visitors of the page, those who love goodness and its people and work in accordance to it…
Assalaamu Alaikum Wa Rahmatullah Wa Barakaatuhu,
I invoke blessings for you all upon the arrival of the blessed month:
شَهْرُ رَمَضَانَ الَّذِي أُنزِلَ فِيهِ الْقُرْآنُ هُدًى لِّلنَّاسِ وَبَيِّنَاتٍ مِّنَ الْهُدَىٰ وَالْفُرْقَانِ
“The month of Ramadhan [is that] in which was revealed the Qur’an, a guidance for the people and clear proofs of guidance and criterion”
(2:85)
And I ask Allah Subhaanahu to accept from all of the Muslims their fasting and their standing in prayer and for it to represent a start for goodness and blessing and for it to represent the prelude to the establishment of the rightly guided Khilafah. The Ummah will then find shade by the Rayah of the ‘Uqaab, the Rayah of ‘Laa Ilaaha Illallah, Muhammadur Rasoolullah’ and then it will return, as it had been: a noble Ummah, strongly attached to its Lord and to its Deen:
وَيَوْمَئِذٍ يَفْرَحُ الْمُؤْمِنُونَ * بِنَصْرِ اللَّـهِ يَنصُرُ مَن يَشَاءُ وَهُوَ الْعَزِيزُ الرَّحِيمُ
“And on that day the believers will rejoice. With the victory of Allah, (He) grants victory to whom he wills and He is Al-Azeez Ar-Raheem”
(30:4-5)
And in conclusion, I extend Salaam to all of you. I ask Allah to grant you goodness and to accept the fasting and standing in prayer. And Allah Almighty supports and protects the Saaliheen (righteous).
Was Salaamu Alaikum Wa Rahmatullah Wa Barakaatuhu,

Your brother,
Ata Bin Khalil Abu Al-Rashtah
Wednesday night, the thirtieth of Sha’baan 1436 AH

An advice to Muslims working in the financial sector

Assalam wa alaikum wa rahmatullah wabarakatahu, Dear Brothers & Sisters, We are saddened to see Muslims today even those who practise many of the rules of Islam are working in jobs which involve haram in the financial sector. They are working in positions which involve usurious (Riba) transactions, insurance, the stock market and the like. Even though many of the clear evidences regarding the severity of the sin of Riba are known, some have justified their job to themselves thinking that they are safe as long as they are not engaged in the actual action of taking or giving Riba. Brothers & Sisters, You should know that the majority of jobs in the financial sector, even the IT jobs in this area are haram (prohibited) as they involve the processing of prohibited contracts. If you work in this sector, do not justify your job to yourself because of the fear of losing your position or having to change your career, fear Allah as he should be feared and consider His law regard

Q&A: Age of separating children in the beds?

Question: Please explain the hukm regarding separation of children in their beds. At what age is separation an obligation upon the parents? Also can a parent sleep in the same bed as their child? Answer: 1- With regards to separating children in their beds, it is clear that the separation which is obligatory is when they reach the age of 7 and not since their birth. This is due to the hadith reported by Daarqutni and al-Hakim from the Messenger (saw) who said: When your children reach the age of 7 then separate their beds and when they reach 10 beat them if they do not pray their salah.’ This is also due to what has been narrated by al-Bazzar on the authority of Abi Rafi’ with the following wording: ‘We found in a sheet near the Messenger of Allah (saw) when he died on which the following was written: Separate the beds of the slave boys and girls and brothers and sisters of 7 years of age.’ The two hadiths are texts on the separation of children when they reach the age of 7. As for the

Q&A: Shari' rule on songs, music, singing & instruments?

The following is a draft translation from the book مسائل فقهية مختارة (Selected fiqhi [jurprudential] issues) by the Mujtahid, Sheikh Abu Iyas Mahmoud Abdul Latif al-Uweida (May Allah protect him) . Please refer to the original Arabic for exact meanings. Question: What is the Shari’ ruling in singing or listening to songs?  What is the hukm of using musical instruments and is its trade allowed? I request you to answer in detail with the evidences? Answer: The Imams ( Mujtahids ) and the jurists have differed on the issue of singing and they have varying opinions such as haraam (prohibited), Makruh (disliked) and Mubah (permissible), the ones who have prohibited it are from the ones who hold the opinion of prohibition of singing as a trade or profession, and a similar opinion has been transmitted from Imam Shafi’i, and from the ones who disliked it is Ahmad Ibn Hanbal who disliked the issue and categorised its performance under disliked acts, a similar opinion has been tran
