HADITH/SAYINGS OF MUHAMMAD
SALLALLAHU ALYHI WA SALLAM

Abu Hurairah (May Allah be pleased with him) reported: The Messenger of Allah Sallallhu Alyhi Wa Sallam used to urge (the people) to perform (optional Tarawih) prayer at night during the month of Ramadan. He did not order them or make it obligatory on them. He Sallallhu Alyhi Wa Sallam said, "Whosoever performs (optional Tarawih) prayers at night during the month of Ramadan, with Faith and in the hope of receiving Allah's reward, will have his past sins forgiven.'' [Muslim]

Commentary: This Hadith highlights the following points:
1. Qiyam in the month of Ramadan is a much-stressed act and has great importance from the viewpoint of reward and award.

2. The sins which are pardoned through it are minor sins because major sins are not forgiven unless one makes sincere repentance and compensates those whom he has wronged.

3. That Qiyam during the month of Ramadan was the practice of the Prophet Sallallhu Alyhi Wa Sallam. During the course of a Ramadan, he made Qiyam for three nights consecutively, that is, he performed this Nafl Salaah in congregation with his Companions. On the fourth night, when his Companions gathered for this purpose he said to them, "I am afraid it will be made obligatory for you.'' So, in spite of their desire to join him in this prayer, he did not lead the Salaah that night.

4. This Nafl Salaah has been interpreted in Ahadith as Qiyam Ramadan. Later on they were named Tarawih. Tarawih is the plural of Tarwihah. Since the Companions of the Prophet Sallallhu Alyhi Wa Sallam and the successors to the Companions used to make a lengthy Qiyam in them and they would take rest after performing every four Rak`ah. This is how these came to be named Tarawih (Rest prayer). (Four Rak`ah are called Tarwihah).

5. In Tarawih, that is Qiyam Ramadan, lengthy Qiyam is Masnun, but it must be borne in mind that the Qur'an must be recited according to the principles of `Ilm-ut-Tajwid with clear and distinct voice at a slow pace. Many of the Qurra recite so fast that it is hard for one to understand, let alone concentrate on what is being recited. Such recitation is a means of retribution rather than reward.

POEM
THE PROPHET'S MASJID
----------------------
With lightness of foot the gentle camel came
fearing to jolt the Prophet holding its rein.
With grace it had moved over the hot dessert sand
obeying the touch of its kind master's hand.

A cloud had shadowed them all along the way
and shielded them from the fierce sun's rays.
As they reached Medina children raced to his side
and the Prophet dismounted, patting his ride.

"Where shall we build the Masjid," in haste they enquired
as the Prophet released his camel that was happy yet tired.
"Be patient," he said "In a moment you will see
where the camel takes its rest that's the place it will be."

As the camel sat down in a very blessed place
happiness spread over everyone's face
they knew where they must build at last
and brought wood and palms very fast.

A fine, yet humble Masjid stood upon the site
and the Prophet worshiped there day and night.
He thanked Allah for the safety of his ride,
for the camel that had carried him and those by his side.

 
THE SMILE
At a Car Dealership: "The best way to get back on your feet - miss a car payment."

In a Veterinarian's waiting room: "Be back in 5 minutes. Sit! Stay!"

At the Electric Company: "We would be delighted if you send in your payment. However, if you don't, you will be."

In a Restaurant window: "Don't stand there and be hungry, Come on in and get fed up."
