Mercy and Blessings are Revived by the Prophet`s Birth Anniversary

 

In Rabi` Al-Awal of every year, faith and mercy are revived by the Prophet`s birth anniversary indicating the Muslim nation`s connection with the Prophet Mohammad (PBUH) who came as mercy for all creatures. Its being the best nation evolved for mankind is by virtue of being attributed to the seal of the Prophets and Messengers (PBUT). 

From the very moment of his birth, blessings have spread in Makkah, then the area where Halima, who nursed him as an infant, lived, leading to the growth of their crops and their goats pouring milk. Her husband told her: "You have been blessed?" She replied: "By Allah, I hope so." Latter he was raised by his grandfather and uncle and Allah sent the verse (What means): "A. L. R. A Book which We have revealed unto thee, in order that thou mightiest lead mankind out of the depths of darkness into light - by the leave of their Lord - to the Way of (Him) the Exalted in power, worthy of all praise!- " [Ibrahim/1]. By this, the pillars of Islam were completed and the moderation, derived from the character of the Prophet (PBUH) and the Glorious Quran, was formed. Allah Says (What mean): "We sent thee not, but as a Mercy for all creatures." [Al-Anbiya`/107]. This is why this nation has been blessed from its establishment guiding people to the truth, enjoining kindness and forbidding iniquity, believing in Allah alone, and was sent by Allah to take people from the darkness of ignorance into the light of Islam. This theme is attested to in the words of Ibn Amir: "Allah has sent us to take whomever he pleases from worshipping people to worshipping the Lord of the people and from the injustice of religions to the justice of Islam." Here, the idea is that this nation is a blessed one, its goodness is settled and constant, it lights of faith are derived from the guidance of the Prophet (PBUH) and its goodness is embodied in following the commands of Allah  through celebrating good character, enjoining kindness, forbidding iniquity, and believing in Allah alone. Allah Says (What means): "Ye are the best of peoples, evolved for mankind, enjoining what is right, forbidding what is wrong, and believing in God." [Al-Imran/110]. 

In conclusion, the corner stone of the Muslim nation is the blessings that Allah has placed in it along with being related to the Prophet (PBUH), and this what brings this blessed anniversary to the forefront reminding people of this great blessing conferred upon them and the mercy that Allah has gifted them. This blessing is tantamount to the lantern that lights our path and reminds us of the significance of being connected to the Prophet through following his blessed guidance and approach.

Summarized Fatawaa

The supplication: "O Allah, we do not ask You to avert the decree, but we ask You for kindness in it." Is this Supplication Halal or Haram?

We are obliged to supplicate Allah, so when supplicating we comply with Allah's Ordainments, and making supplications that are reported in the authentic texts is better. And Allah Knows Best. 

Is it permissible for a pious Muslim woman to stay with her husband who had quit praying out of laziness?

Quitting prayer is one of the major grave sins that come after disbelieving in Allah, but the wife of such a person isn`t considered divorced, rather, she should exert all her efforts in order to bring him back to the way of Islam. However, if his sin is likely to lure her from the way of Islam, then she had better separate from him by lawful means such as Mokhal`aa (When a wife pays a compensation for her husband in return for divorcing her). Moreover, if she exercises patience, and remains steadfast on her faith, then there is no harm in doing that.

 By slip of the tongue, my son cursed Allah. It is worth pointing that he has concluded his marriage contract recently, but haven`t consummated the marriage. What is the position of Sharia on this? 

All perfect praise be to AllahThe Lord of The Worlds and may His Peace and Blessings be upon our Prophet Muhammad and upon all of his family and companions. 
This person must return to the fold of Islam by uttering the two testimonies of faith and making repentance to Allah from all acts that lead to disbelief. Also, he must make a new marriage contract because the old one was dissolved after he had committed this act of disbelief. Moreover, since there is no waiting period for his wife, then she is in state of Talaq ba`en baynona Soghra (Minor irrevocable divorce); consequently, she can get back to him only by a new marriage contract. And Allah The Almighty Knows Best. 

Is it permissible to add the nutmeg to one`s food?

All Perfect Praise is due to Allah, The Lord of The Worlds

Using a little bit of the nutmeg for seasoning is permissible, but using a great deal of it is impermissible since it could lead to intoxication, and Islam has forbidden all intoxicants and stupefacients. And Allah Knows Best.
