How should a Muqtadi complete the Salaat if his wudhu broke during the Salaat?

Answer

Such a Muqtadi (follower) is called Laahiq.

1. If, after joining the Jama't, one's Wudhu broke, it will be permissible to leave the congregation, make Wudhu anew and join in the Jama't again. In the interval in which the Laahiq leaves the congregation it is not permissible for him to talk or do any such act which nullifies Salaat.

2. The Laahiq, with regard to the Raka'ts which he has missed, will be considered as the Mudrik. Therefore, like the Mudrik does not recite Qiraat, so the Laahiq, too, will not recite Qiraat but will remain standing (in Qiyaam) silently. Also, like the Mudrik who makes an error and will not perform Sujoodus- Sahw, so the Laahiq, too, will not perform Sujoodus-Sahw for any error or omission of the Waajib acts.

3. The Laahiq, upon rejoining the Jama't, must firstly fulfil the Raka'ts which have been missed and if after completing the missed Raka'ts the Jama't is still in progress, he should unite with it (the Jama't). If, after fulfilling his missed Raka'ts the Jama't has ended its Salaat, he (the Laahiq) should complete his Salaat alone.

For example: A Muqtadee's Wudhu broke during the second Rakat. He, therefore, leaves the Jama't and renews his Wudhu. On returning, he finds the Imam in the last Raka't. What should he now do?

He should join the Jama't (stand in the Saff) and perform firstly the Raka'ts which he has missed. He must not join the Imam in whatever posture he may be in. In this example his Wudhu broke during the second Raka't, hence this Muqtadi (the Laahiq) should proceed to read the second, third and fourth Raka't without reciting any Qiraat in the Raka'ts he is thus making. In this example it is obvious that he will not be able to link up with the Imam since he (the Laahiq) has yet three Raka'ts to make while the Imam is in the last Raka't. In this case the Laahiq merely completes the three Raka'ts missed.

However, if in some case the Laahiq, after fulfilling his missed Raka'ts manages to link up with the Imam then he shall complete his Salaat with the Imam.

For example: The Muqtadee's Wudhu breaks in the first Raka't of Ishaa Fardh Salaat. He quickly goes to renew his Wudhu and upon returning he finds the Imam in Tashah-hud of the second Raka't. The Laahiq joins the congregation and performs the Raka'ts he has missed. If the Imam is now in the fourth Raka't, when the Laahiq has finished three Raka'ts, then he (the Laahiq) should join up with the Imam in the fourth Raka't and complete the Salaat with the Imam.

THE MAJORITY IS

FAASIQ

―Verily, numerous of the people are faasiqoon.‖

(Al-Maaidah)

According to this verse as well as many other Aayaat in the Qur‟aan Majeed, most people are faasiqoon. They follow and emulate the kuffaar and baatil. Why do they do so? Answering this question, the Qur‟aan Majeed says:

―Verily, numerous of the people are faasiqoon. What! Do they search for the law of jaahiliyyah? Whose law is more beautiful than the Law of Allah for people who have yaqeen?

O People of Imaan! Do not take as friends the Yahood and Nasaara. They are mutual friends among themselves. Whoever from you (Muslims) who befriend them, verily he is of them. Verily, Allah does not guide people who are zaalimeen.‖

(Al-Maidah, 50 & 51)

The faasiqoon, fearing the kuffaar, befriend the Yahood and Nasaara in search of honour and haraam boodle. They fear the kuffaar more than fear for Allah Ta‟ala. In fact, they have no fear for Allah Ta‟ala. Confirming this fact, the Qur‟aan Majeed says:

―You will see those in whose heart is a disease (of nifaaq / kufr) running (creeping) among them, saying (in justification of their bootlicking): ‗We fear that a misfortune may overtake us.'‖ (Al-Maaidah, Aayat 52)

WOMEN'S JIHAD

Hadhrat Anas (Radhiyallahu anhu) narrated that some women came to Rasulullah (sallallahu alayhi wasallam) and said: ―O Rasulullah! Men have acquired the virtues of Jihad in the Path of Allah. Is there some amal (act/practice) for us by which we could acquire the (reward of) the Mujaahideen in the Path of Allah?‖ Rasulullah (Sallallahu alayhi wasallam) responded: "By her (the wife‟s) service in her home she acquires the (reward) of the amal of the Mujaahideen."

The Jihad of a woman is her duties at home, the role for which Allah Ta‟ala has created her.

FITNAH!

Narrating a Hadith, Hadhrat Abdullah Ibn Mas‟ood (Radhiyallahu anhu) said to the people: "How will you be when you will be engulfed by such a fitnah which will make the elderly ones become senile; the young will become old, and people will

THE JINN

Prior to the advent of mankind on earth, this world was inhabited by the Jinn. Allah Ta‟ala regard the fitnah to be Sunnah. If anything of the fitnah is discarded, they will say: ‗The Sunnah has been abandoned.'

The people asked: "When will that be?" Hadhrat Ibn Mas‟ood (Radhiyallahu anhu) said: "When your (true) Ulama have departed; when your qaaris are abunhad created Jinn from a Fire. It was a smokeless fire called Naar-e- Samoom. The first being created from this Fire was extremely huge. His name was Maarij. Then Allah Ta‟ala created for Maarij a wife whose name was Murjih. They were the progenitors of the Jinn race. The Jinn have the ability to transform themselves into a variety of forms. Among the Jinn are Muslims and kuffaar. The Jinn race was created approximately 150,000 years before Hadhrat Aadam (Alayhis salaam). When the Jinn exceeded all limits of transgression and rebellion, dant; when your Fuqaha will be few; when your rulers (civil servants) will be in abundance; when your trustworthy will be few; when the dunya will be pursued with the amal of the Aakhirat, and when knowledge of the Deen will be acquired for purposes other than the Deen."

Allah Ta‟ala raised among them a Nabi whose name was Aamir Bin Umair Bin Al-Jaan. The rebellious Jinn killed their Nabi.

Then Allah Ta‟ala sent as a Nabi another Jinn, Saaiq Bin Maa-oq Bin Maaroo Bin Al- Jaan. He too was martyred by the Jinn. The chain of Nubuwwat continued among the Jinn. In eight centuries Allah Ta‟ala had raised 800 Ambiya for them. However, every Nabi was killed by the Jinn.

Iblees is from the progeny of Jinn. He was granted permission to inhabit the heavens after he had engage in ibaadat for thousands of years. His original name was Azaazeel. His refusal to prostrate to Nabi Aadam (Alayhis salaam) at the command of Allah Ta‟ala transformed him into the devil (Shaitaan) which he is now and will always remain as such.
