Salam alaykum sir, do you do tahajjud everyday apart from ramadhan. What is the physical and spiritual benefit for someone that pray tahajjud everyday?

Empiree:
Walaikum salaam..our brothers and sisters are busy on researches on questions above. In few days now you get to see crowd.


In Ramadan, Quran should be respected and given authority over anything else. So, at midnight till Sahur, I offer as many rakat as I possibly can. I sit down and make dhikr briefly starting with istigfar, salawat, shahadah and so on. Then I begin reciting Qur'an till I'm ready for Sahur and finished with


allahumma salli ala sayyidina muhammad wa ala ali wa sahabiy wa ali bayti wa ala kulli min ajirin warajai


and


Allahumma Innaka 'Afuwwun Tuhibbul 'Afwa Fa'fu 'annee"



My naflah is 2 rakat


First Rakah: after fatiha recite sura Qadri 3x. at rukuh sura Qadri 3x. after rising from rukuh recite Sura Qadri 3x. sujud(same thing). at first sitting (same thing). sujud (same thing). Do the same process at second rakah and make taslim. After salama you recite sura Qadri from beginning to "lailatul Qadri khair" and make sujud. during suju ask Allah for your needs a long as it takes you. Then sit back and complete the sura. In the morning when you wake give sadaqa. Do this for the last ten day.

Jazakalahu Khairan Em.piree, may Allah increase your knowledge and that of everyone that has contributed to this enlightening thread.

Please regarding the above prayer, i have heard and i just confirmed again before posting this that it is not permissible to recite the Quran while in Sajda or Ruku, that one can only recite supplications (Lailaha ilalah) or duas (Robana takobalminah) that are part of a Surah.

Please kindly clarify this.

Thanks

Empiree:
walaikum salaam

No, not everyday. The result you get from doing tahajjud, whether everyday or not boils down to iklas and niyat.

It can be weakening physically at times but it generally give strength at old age without medical assistance. And yes, your are spiritually elevated. It is hard man.

Also one of the spiritual benefits is that for as long as people who wake up for tahajjud and make istighfar, Allah will not destroy a community because of them. That's, no matter how fasad people commit on Earth, for as long as there are people who make istighfar, by their virtues Allaah will always put things into consideration. These people are abdal, awtad. They are always on spiritual journey around the world begging Allaah not to destroy community of people due to their sins.

Empiree:
JazakaAllahu khayran for this. Of course default formula is normal daily salah.

The Ahadith with regard to your concern are located in Sahih Muslim. Since evidences trump my post, I hear and I obey and I stick to the evidences in this regard.

Which means I'm only reciting sura Qadri in standing and sitting positions and make supplications & glorifications in sujud and rukuh as I normally do. This is however nawafil. Sharia committee said that reciting Qur'an in sujud and rukuh does not invalidate salah but it is makruh. Everything else I mentioned in my initial post stays the same. This is the only "nakali" I have with this formula by the way.


Thanks again for bringing this up. I appreciate it.

Empiree:
Let's be clear about something for clarification purposes. The whole idea behind reciting 3 sura Qadr as first laid down in my previous post is similar to salat tasbih. It is some scholars that break it down that way for ease. If you calculate number of times you have to recite surah Qadri it is 36 times by my calculation. Eighteen (18x) per rakah. So you can as well recite all 18 times surah Qadr in first rakah and do the time second rakah. Some scholars break it down here and total 18 to make it easy.

The same is true of salat Tasbih. The whole either behind break down is to make it easy. Not that it is a must to recite the surah in rukuh and sujud. Not at all. You can offer the nakali normal way but some people lose focus or get weak at standing. That's why they break it down. Hope you understand. I said this because i witnessed it myself some 4 yrs ago on Lailatul Qadri. The Imam gave two formulas of solati tasbih and prayed with easiest form. It was there i learned that the breakdown are meant to easy focus. It is all about ikhlas, niyat and ijtihad.

*Question 7
On the day of judgement, man wishes to return to dust which is his place of origin. If he is wishing to return to dust to escape punishment, then, why is Satan who was created from fire going to hellfire for punishment?
Answer:
*
The fact that the jinn were created from fire does not necessarily mean that they are fire, just as man was created from dust but he is not dust. 

Abu’l-Wafa’ ibn Aqeel said: 
The devils and jinn are attributed to fire just as man is attributed to dust, clay and baked clay. What is meant in the case of man is that he originates from clay, but a human being is not clay in a real sense, rather he used to be clay. Similarly the jinn were fire in the beginning.

Laqt al-Marjaan fi Ahkaam al-Jaan, p. 33, quoted in ‘Aalim al-Jinn wa’l-Shayaateen, p. 58. 

Although man was created from clay, a little of it will harm him; if he is buried beneath it he will die, and if he is struck with it (such as with baked clay), he will be wounded or will die. So it not strange to think that although the jinn were created from fire, they will be punished with the Fire of Hell.

*(ii) what did famous imam jafar as-sidiq say about Allah*
Answer:

It is related that some the atheists denied the existence of the Creator in the presence of Jafar al-Sadiq. Jafar said to him, “Have you ever seen the sea and its awesomeness?”

Here, Jafar used an example that the man would relate to. This man probably lived far away and had travelled by sea. There may have been signs of this on him. It shows us the need to be attentive to people and their backgrounds.

The man said, “Yes, I have travelled by sea and there was a storm and the ship sank and the sailors drowned. I clung onto some planks of wood, then even the planks went away from me. I was pushed away by the clashing of the waves until I reached the shore.”

Imam Jafar said: “You were initially relying on the ship, the planks, and the sailors, but when these things left you did you still hope for safety?”
The man said “Yes”.

Imam Jafar said: “From whom did you hope for safety?”

The man was silent.

Imam Jafar said: “Verily in the Creator, He is the one in which you had hope in at that moment and He is the one who saved you from drowning.” And the man accepted Islam at his hand.

Question 7

On the day of Judgement, man wishes to return to 'dust' which is his place of origin. If he is wishing to return to dust to escape punishment, then, why is Satan who was created from Fire going to Hellfire for punishment? (brainer). Note: I will counter your argument if it doesn't make sense or valid.

ANSWER:- The fact that the jinn were created from fire does not necessarily mean that they are fire now, just as man was created from dust but he is not dust now.

According to ibn Aqeel:

The devils and jinn are attributed to fire just as man is attributed to dust, clay and baked clay. What is meant in the case of man is that he originates from clay, but a human being is not clay in a real sense, rather he used to be clay. Similarly the jinn were fire in the beginning.

Allaah created the jinn from fire, but they are not fire now. There is a great deal of evidence to that effect, such as the following:

1 – It was narrated from ‘Aa’ishah that the Messenger of Allaah (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) was praying, then the Shaytaan came to him and he seized him, threw him to the ground and strangled him. The Messenger of Allaah (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said: “Until I felt the coolness of his Ptongue on my hand. Were it not for the prayer of my brother Sulaymaan, he would have been tied up this morning so that the people could see him.” Narrated by al-Nasaa’i in al-Sunan al-Kubra, 6/442; classed as saheeh by Ibn Hibbaan, 6/115

2 – It was narrated that Abu’l-Darda’ said: The Messenger of Allaah (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) stood (in prayer) and we heard him say: “I seek refuge with Allaah from you.” Then he said: “I curse you with the curse of Allaah,” three times, and he reached out his hand as if to take something. When he had finished praying, we said: “O Messenger of Allaah, we heard you say something in your prayer that we have never heard you say before, and we saw you reaching out your hand.” He said: “The enemy of Allaah Iblees came with a brand of fire to throw it in my face, so I said, ‘I seek refuge with Allaah from you,’ three times, then I said: ‘I curse you with the full curse of Allaah,’ but he did not go back, three times. Then I wanted to seize him, and by Allaah, were it not for the prayer of our brother Sulaymaan, this morning he would have been tied up and the children of the people of Madeenah would have played with him.” Narrated by Muslim, 542.

From these two hadeeths it is clear to us that the jinn are not fire now. This is indicated by the coolness that the Messenger of Allaah (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) felt from the tongue of the Shaytaan, as stated in the first hadeeth. If the Shaytaan was still in the form of fire, he would not have needed to bring a brand of fire to throw in the face of the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him), and the children would not have been able to play with him.

3 – The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said: “The Shaytaan flows through the son of Adam as blood flows.” Narrated by al-Bukhaari (1933) and Muslim (2175).

If the Shaytaan was fire, he would burn man, because the Shaytaan is inside him. So we can see the difference between the Shaytaan being fire and being created from fire.
