FIQH (ISLAMIC JURISPRUDENCE)
It is Makrooh (undesirable) to sleep before offering Esha Salaah. One should offer ones Salaah and then sleep. However, if due to some sickness or travelling, one is very tired and tells someone to wake him up at the time of Salaah and that person promises to wake him up; then in this case it will be permissible to sleep.

THE MESSAGE
RABIUL AWWAL FOCUS
Economy
In the field of economic development, the goal is not material gain, but human welfare in general. Islam exhorts that the balance between the material and physical aspects, between the individual and societal needs, be maintained in order to narrow the gap between two opposite sides of human world. It is stated in the Qur’an:

"Say, who is there to forbid the beauty which Allah has brought forth for His creatures, and the good things from among the means of sustenance. Say, they are for those who believe (in Allah) in this worldly life, to be theirs alone in the Hereafter on the Day of Resurrection. Say, the only things my Lord forbids are the shameful deeds, be they open or secret, the sin, unjustified envy, the ascribing of divinity to aught beside Allah, and the attributing unto Allah of aught of which you have no knowledge.”

So everyone is free to conduct any business he likes outside the harmful circle he has been warned not to indulge in. If he does not listen to this warning, he will be in trouble. Every good quality as precondition to a successful business is encouraged by Islam.

The Prophet Sallallahu Alayhi Wasallam himself was a businessman before he was appointed as a Prophet. His ability to run business prudently, by his fairness and truthful conduct in dealing with people had won him the heart of his employer, Khadija RA who later offered him marriage. He advocated Muslims to follow the spirit of Prophet Daud (David) of hard work, earned his living from his own labour. He also said that faith of a Muslim is not complete if he is not good in his profession. He said: ‘If you leave matters to those who are not professional] you are waiting for the disaster'.

If he works in the production line, his products must be compatible with products of other companies or factories. In order to be marketable, it must suit the taste of buyers and their standards of living. In this regard, Islam teaches not to cheat in offering the product to the market. It must be shown as it is without any publicity it does not deserve. In the life time of the Prophet Sallallahu Alayhi Wasallam, he found many cases in market places where the merchants tried to cheat the customers. The Prophet said to them: "Whoever cheated are not from amongst us (Muslims)".

Islam laid many regulations in the field of economy such as trade, leasing, business transactions, contracts and others to prevent unfair dealing within the community and in the world of business at large. What is also prevented by Islam is a monopoly and exploitation 'by one man or one group at the expense of the others.

DUA (PRAYER)
ALLAHUMMA ANTA RABBY LAA ILAAHA ILLA ANTA KHALAQTANY WA ANA ABDUK WA ANA ALAA AHDIKA WA WA'ADIKA MASTATAT. AOOTHUBIKA MIN SHARRI MAA SANATU ABOOU LAKA BINIMATIKA ALAYYA WA ABOOU BITHAMBY FAGHFIRLY FAINNAHU LAA YAGHFIRUTH THUNOOBA ILLA ANTA.

O Allah You are my cherisher. None is worthy of worship except you. Only you created me and I am only Your slave. And I am steadfast on your Covenant and promise according to my ability. I seek refuge in you from the evils I have committed. I acknowledge before you your bounties upon me and I also admit to my sins. So forgive me because none can forgive except you.

Exert yourself to attain your objects, bit by bit. In order to succeed, strive and exert yourselves. Self-exertion is not nobler than trust in Allah. What is lovelier than committing oneself to Allah?
