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

What is the ruling on the Friday bath (ghusl al-Jumu'ah)?

The Friday bath is a confirmed Sunnah, based on the Prophet's (peace be upon him) saying: "Whoever performs ablution on Friday, it is good for him, and whoever takes a bath, bathing is better." (Reported by Abu Dawud and al-Tirmidhi who said it is a hasan hadith). It is recommended for everyone who wants to attend the Friday prayer, even if they are not from its usual attendees, like a woman or a boy.
If a person is in a state of major impurity (junub) and intends by his bath both lifting the major impurity and the Friday bath, he achieves both. If he intends only one of them, he achieves only what he intended. And Allah the Almighty knows best.

What is the waiting period ('Iddah) for a woman whose husband has passed away, and what is the ruling on her wearing gold?

Praise be to Allah, and peace and blessings be upon our Master, the Messenger of Allah.
 
The waiting period ('Iddah) for a woman whose husband has passed away is four months and ten days for one who is not pregnant. As for a pregnant woman, her waiting period lasts until she gives birth. It is obligatory for her to remain in the marital home, only leaving for a necessity. During this time, it is prohibited (Haram) to display any form of adornment on the body or clothing; this includes wearing kohl, gold, all types of perfume, and dyeing the hair. Likewise, it is prohibited to receive a direct marriage proposal or to marry during this period.
 
It was narrated by Umm 'Atiyyah that the Prophet ﷺ said: 'We were forbidden to mourn for a deceased person for more than three days, except for a husband, for whom the mourning period is four months and ten days. During this time, we were not to use kohl, nor wear perfume, nor wear dyed clothing except for garments made of 'Asb (coarsely dyed yarn). We were, however, granted a concession at the time of purification—when one of us bathed following her menses—to use a small amount of Kust (costus) or Azfar (fragrant substances). We were also forbidden from following funeral processions.' (Narrated by Al-Bukhari). And Allah the Exalted knows best."

Is it permissible for a woman to offer the obligatory prayer after Adhaan (call for prayer), and before Iqamah (The announcement that the prayer is about to begin) in the mosque?
 

Yes, it is permissible for a woman to offer the obligatory prayer immediately after the Adhan and before the Iqamah in the mosque. And Allah Knows Best.

Where should a woman who is led by her husband in prayer stand?

All perfect praise be to Allah The Lord of The Worlds                                                                                                                                                                          It is from Sunnah (Prophetic tradition) that she stands behind him. And Allah Knows Best.
