16.01.2012 - Mayyit of: Rashid Ahmed Vally - VENUE: 8008 Hercules Street Ext 9 Lenasia - TIME: 11h30am - QABRASTAAN: Lenasia - CAUSE OF DEATH: Natural :

Nabi Sallallahu Alaihi Wa Sallam then raised His hands at a time when there was not a single cloud in the sky. By the oath of that being in whose hands lie my soul, Nabi Sallallahu Alaihi Wa Sallam did not drop His hands (except that before that) clouds spread out like mountains. Nabi Sallallahu Alaihi Wa Sallam did not descend from His pulpit (except that before that) I saw rain fall upon His (blessed) beard.

It rained for the remainder of the day and the next day and the next day (and it continued raining) until the next Friday. (The next Friday) That same bedouin or someone else stood up and said, O Messenger of Allah, structures have been damaged, properties have been drowned. Ask Allah (for favourable conditions) for us. Nabi Sallallahu Alaihi Wa Sallam then raised His hands and said: "O Allah around us and not upon us".

Nabi Sallallahu Alaihi Wa Sallam did not point to any side of a cloud except that it dissolved. The city of Madinah became like a gap (it was as if there was a gap in the clouds that hung above Madinah because it continued to rain in the surrounding areas) and the valley of Qanah flowed for a month. None came from any part (outside Madinah) but gave information of profuse rain.

(Bukhari, Muslim, Mishkaat Pg 536)

A. If a person does not perform a Salaah in its fixed time it will then become Qadhaa upon him meaning that he will still have to perform it, even if it be years later. There is no guarantee that he will be forgiven however a person should perform it along with Tauba and have hope in the mercy of Allah.

Q. During which times can one perform Qadhaa Salaah?

A. It can be performed at any time. If a person is reading a Zuhr Salaah that he missed in the past, it is not necessary that he perform it in a Zuhr time but he can perform it at any time of the day. If one is performing it after Fajr or after Asr then it is advised not to perform it in public for he will be disclosing his own faults. However, Qadhaa salaah like every other Salaah, is not permissible during three times i.e. sunrise, sunset and Zawaal.

Q. Does a person read the entire Salaah when performing Qadhaa?

A. No, a person will only read the Fardh Rakaats. However, according to Hanafis, a person will also have to make Qadhaa for the three Rakaats of Witr Waajib that is usually performed after the Esha Salaah.

Q. Is it necessary to mention the date of when you missed that particular Salaah in your intention (Niyyah) when performing Qadhaa Salaah?

A. No, it is not necessary. A simple method is as follows: If Zaid missed his Asr Salaah for the month of August 2007 and he started reading again from the 1st of September 2007, then when making Qadhaa his intention should be... "O Allah I am performing four Rakaats Asr Qadhaa Salaah for the last Asr that I missed for your pleasure only facing the Qibla". In this way, automatically Qadhaa will be made for the 31st of August. The next time he makes the same intention, automatically Qadhaa will be made for the 30th August and it will go backwards in that order. This method will prove beneficial for those that don't know when exactly they missed their Salaah.
