درس عظيم النفع عن الزكاة لفضيلة الشيخ إبراهيم الشافعي

إِنَّ لِلزَّكَاةِ فَوَائِدَ كَبِيرَةً، وَمَنَافِعَ عَظِيمَةً، فَهِيَ تُزَكِّي النَّفْسَ بِالْكَرَمِ وَالْعَطَاءِ

A Beneficial Lesson about Az-Zakah by Sheikh Ibrahim El-Shafie

Zakah is one of the most important matters in Islam. As was mentioned in the hadith of the Prophet, the Zakah is one of the five matters in which Islam is based. Ibn Hibban narrated from the Prophet, sallallahu ^alayhi wa sallam, said what means: “Allah damns the one who consumes the usurious gains (riba), the one who gives them, and the one does not pay Zakah”. The one who abstains from paying the obligatory Zakah commits an enormous sin.

Once again, 2MFM was delighted to accept the invitation to the Scouts-JKS Joint Annual Iftar at the Liverpool Grand Hall. 2MFM's Brother Abdullah, Brother Ahmad and Sister Lea had the pleasure to catch up with some of the attendees of the Iftar including Neville Tomkins, the Commissioner of Scouts NSW, Hana Saydawi of 5th Bankstown Scouts and Zeinab Alshelh of JKS Sydney.

Tune in to the coverage conducted by sister Sandy Al-Aweik to find out more about the Iftar. It was truly a pleasant and family oriented iftar reminding us how dear Ramadan is to all Muslims and remembering those who are less fortunate. We wish the Scouts of Liverpool and Bankstown and JKS continued success in the future. Ameen.

Speech Given by Sheikh Ibrahim El-Shafie about the Night of Qadr

كلمة فضيلة الشيخ إبراهيم الشافعي عن ليلة القدر

[English Starts at 17:06]

At-Tirmidhiyy narrated from ^A’ishah that she said: “O Prophet of Allah, if I encounter the Night of Qadr, what supplication should I make?). The Prophet answered her: “Say: اللهمَّ إنَّكَ عفُوٌّ تُحِبُّ العفوَ فاعفُ عنَّا

which means: <> May Allah bless us with seeing this great Night and making supplication in it.

وقد سألتِ السيّدةُ عائشةُ رضي الله عنها النبيَّ صلى الله عليه وسلم أنها إذا رأتْ ليلةَ القدْر بِـمَ تدعُو، قال لها قولي اللهمَّ إنّكَ عفُوٌّ تُحِبُّ العَفْوَ فاعفُ عنِّي.

فهلمُّوا إخوةَ الإيمانِ للاجتهادِ بالطاعةِ في هذه الليالي العظيمةِ المباركةِ المتبقِّيَةِ مِن رمضان، مِن قيامٍ وذِكْرٍ وتِلاوةٍ، وأُذَكِّرُكم مَن كان عليهِ قضاءٌ فلْيَشتغِلْ بالقَضاءِ فدَيْنُ اللهِ أحقُّ بالوفاء.

التماس ليلة القدر - فضيلة الشيخ بلال حميصي

[English Starts at 14:30]

The Night of Qadr is a very great night of the blessed month of Ramadan. It is “the Night of Greatness.” In it, Allah brought down a great Book- the Qur’an. Each year, when the Night of Qadr occurs, great angels and great mercies descend to earth.

The Night of Qadr - Sheikh Ibrahim El-Shafie ليلة القدر - فضيلة الشيخ إبراهيم الشافعي

[English Starts at 6:32]

It is not a condition that the Night of Qadr must lie on the 27th or the 29th of the month of Ramadan, although we know from some hadiths that this is most likely the case. Since the Night of Qadr may lie on any of the nights of Ramadan, the Muslims should put forth effort to pray each night of Ramadan, seeking the promised reward for performing the optional prayers during that night. Making the extra effort in performing acts of worship especially during the last ten days of Ramadan is highly recommended, since in most cases, the Night of Qadr lies during one of those nights.
