Ibn Hazam al-Andalusee,
THE LESS FAVOURED
--------------------
Ibn Hazam al-Andalusee (rahima-hullaah) mentions: "(When you compare yourself with others in matters of wealth, position, and health, you should look at people less favoured than yourself. When you compare yourself with others in matters of religion, knowledge and virtue, look at people who are better than yourself)" - al-Akhlaaq was-Siyar - Ibn Hazam al-Andalusee

PERSONALITY

Ikrimah Ibn Abi Jahl RA
----------------------
He was at the end of the third decade of his life on the day the Prophet (Sallallahu Alayhi Wa Sallam) made public his call to guidance and truth. He was held in high regard by the Quraysh, being wealthy and of noble lineage. Some others like him, Sa'd ibn abi Waqqas, Mus'ab ibn Umayr and other sons of noble families in Makkah had become Muslims. He too might have followed their example were it not for his father.

His father, Abu Jahl, was the foremost proponent of Shirk and one of the greatest tyrants of Makkah. Through torture, he sorely tested the faith of the early believers but they remained steadfast. He used every strategem to make them waver but they continued to affirm the truth. Ikrimah found himself defending the leadership and authority of his father as he pitted himself against the Prophet (Sallallahu Alayhi Wa Sallam). His animosity towards the Prophet (Sallallahu Alayhi Wa Sallam), his persecution of his followers and his attempts to block the progress of Islam and the Muslims won the admiration of his father.

At Badr, Abu Jahl led the Makkan polytheists in the battle against the Muslims. He swore by al-Laat and al-Uzza (pagan idols) that he would not return to Makkah unless he crushed Muhammad (Sallallahu Alayhi Wa Sallam). At Badr he sacrificed three camels to these goddesses. He drank wine and had the music of girls to spur the Quraysh on to fight. Abu Jahl was among the first to fall in the battle. His son Ikrimah saw him as spears pierced his body and heard him let out his last cry of agony.

Ikrimah returned to Makkah leavmg behind the corpse of the Quraysh chieftain, his father. He wanted to bury him in Makkah but the crushing defeat they suffered made this impossible. From that day, the fire of hatred burned even more fiercely in the heart of Ikrimah. Others whose fathers were killed at Badr, also became more hostile to Muhammad (Sallallahu Alayhi Wa Sallam) and his followers. This eventually led to the Battle of Uhud. At Uhud Ikrimah was accompanied by his wife, Umm Hakim. She and other women stood behind the battle lines beating their drums, urging the Quraysh on to battle and upbraiding any horseman who felt inclined to flee. read more

FIQH

MAKING QADA OF SEVERAL MISSED SALAAHS
----------------------------------------------
If a person misses several Salaahs, as far as possible he should make Qada of all. If it is possible, he should make an effort to offer all of them at one time. It is not necessary that the Qada of Zuhr be offered in Zuhr time or that the Qada of Asr be offered at Asr time. If he has to make Qada for several months or several years, as far as possible he should make Qada of them as quickly as possible. He should try and offer several Qada Salaahs in one Salaah time. However, if he is compelled or has no alternative, he should offer one Qada Salaah in one Salaah time. But this is the minimum.
