That Which Is Worse Than Death: Wasting Time

Imām Ibn al-Qayyim, d. 751 AH (رحمه الله) noted:

"The harm attributable to wasting time is more severe than death. This is because wasting time by not engaging in acts of righteousness severs one from Allāh's reward and Paradise, while death disrupts only your connection to this worldly life and its people."

Subhanallah, Allah takes every opportunity to remind us that this world is deceiving and its only a short test that could end at any moment.

@buzqao, wa jazak khairan 🙌🙂

greatly said all jazaka allah khayr.
as for hanging up lamps allahu 3lam.
if you dont live amongs tthe nasara (christians) maybe rules differ? because i remember a qoute not sure if its autentic but that (its already 8 years ago or something)
imam maalik talked with 7anbali (or but lesser likely 2 of their students) and that they talking about wearing a blue turban and the nasara weared the blue turban in 1 area im not sure which one (that of imaam maalik or 7anbali)
but at the area where the nasara weared the blue turban muslims shouldnt wear that but it was fine in other areas (so not to imitate them).

now the nasara and mul7idoon (atheists) knowdays decorate their houses with lights etc and buying a christmas tree which they trow away a month later all such kinde things.
they based this upon religious practises.

about its origin.
christmas has been invented many years ago.
the priests back then this was i think 300 CE said this is an innovation and forbid it when people started celebrating it.

however when i read fatawa i see its still a relgeious symbol and that this not premissible to have a christmas tree and no matter when as this is speceficly for them.
this is possible different as the above qoute in case its sa7i7.
im affraid i cant have a clear answer for this but i at least tried to give some information.

also mawlid during rab3i al awwal i think this has the exact same ruling as christmas.

another thing during 3id if soemane doesnt pray tahajjud she shouldnt do that unless he does it regulary as its not prescribed to pray tahajjud during 3id unlike in ramadaan

The Speech of the Scholars Regarding the Virtues of Rajab
بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الرَّحْمَنِ الرَّحِيمِ

Shaykh al-Islām Ibn Taymiyyah (b. 728H) - رَحِمَهُ‌اللهُ - said:
As for specifying the month of Rajab for fasting then all the narrations concerning that are unauthentic. Rather, they are fabricated and [are] not relied upon by the people of knowledge.

Majmū’ al-Fatāwá (v. 25 p. 290)

Al-Imām Ibn al-Qayyim (b. 752H) رَحِمَهُ‌اللهُ - said:
Every narration which mentions fasting in the month of Rajab and fasting some of its nights are fabricated lies.

Al-Manār al-Munīf (p. 96)

Al-Ḥāfidh al-’Irāqī (b. 806H) رَحِمَهُ‌اللهُ - said:
There is no authentic narration regarding the virtue of the month of Rajab.

Fayd al-Qadīr (v. 4 p. 18)

Al-Ḥāfidh Ibn Ḥajr (b. 852H) رَحِمَهُ‌اللهُ - said:
There has been no ṣaḥīḥ ḥadīth narrated that can be used as a proof regarding the virtue of the month of Rajab, fasting its entirety or a specific portion of it, or standing in prayer on a specific night from it. I have been preceded in this assertion and have narrated it from al-Imām al-Ḥāfidh Abū Ismā’īl al-Harawī (b. 481H) with an authentic chain of narration and, likewise, other than him.
Also, he said:
As for the narrations that regard the virtues of Rajab, [for example] fasting its entirety or a portion of it, then these [narrations] are of two types: either ḍa’īfah (weak) or mawḍū’ah (fabricated).

Tabyīn al-’Ajab fīmā Warada fī Faḍl Rajab (p. 11)

The Virtue of Madina

Upon the authority of Ibn Umar – Radhiyallahu ‘Anhu – “Whosoever is able to die in Madina then let him die in it, for indeed i will intercede (in a version “..bear witness) for the one who dies in it”

(Collected by At Tirmidhi (3917) and declared ‘Saheeh’ by Shaikh Al Albaani)

it's Ok bro it's just important to always have evidence for all acts of worship.

its not fajr its called think nafile namaz in turkish fajr pray also nafile namaz its a type so nevermind maybe you are right.

Ok. Let me give you an example. Brother farukgoodman if you say Subhanallah on Friday after Fajr prayer 37 times you will get great reward ok? But it has to be on Friday and after Fajr and exactly 37 times not more, trust me bro, great reward ok?

maybe i sayyed 12 not many datails i forgot sorry

yea and its not 12 rakahh you can do 2-4-12 i maked 4 for not many time i have

If you said: "guys, don't forget to wake up and pray and make duaa" that is OK. but you said:

"regaib kandil mubarek muslim brothers...make fasting its soo helal, if your cant wait untill mirac kandil born of muhammed sav, yours also can pray 12 rakah in regaib night"

So you are advising us to pray 12 rakah and fast because it is the month of Rajab, or the birth day of the prophet (pbuh), because we get more reward in those days than any other time, correct?

If you are still hesitant, you may want to recite salawat and mention the names of Allah.

This prayer can also be performed if you wish for certain desires to be fulfilled.

O Allah! If You know that this matter is good for my religion, my worldly life, and my hereafter (the narrator hesitated at this point regarding which expression the Prophet used, suggesting he might have said: "If You know that it is good now or later"), then grant me the ability to do it, make it easy for me, and bless it for me. But if You know that this matter is bad for my religion, my worldly life, and my hereafter (again, the narrator hesitated at this point regarding which expression the Prophet used, suggesting he might have said: "If You know that it is bad now or later"), then keep it away from me and keep me away from it. Grant me what is good, and then make my heart content with that outcome! He would say this and state what he wanted. (Bukhari, Tahajjud 28, Da'awat 48, Tawhid 10. See also Tirmidhi, Witr 18; Ibn Majah, Iqamah 188.)

Whenever any of you wishes to undertake a task, let him perform two rak'ahs of prayer, separate from the obligatory prayers, and then say:

"O Allah! Since You know everything, I beseech You to show me what is best for me; since Your power extends over everything, I beseech You to grant me success and bestow upon me what is good, by Your great generosity. For Your power extends over everything, mine does not; You know everything, I do not. Surely You know the unseen and the unseen."

google translate make it very wrong but you gonna get what i say

Besides the Eid al-Adha sacrifice, you can also donate an animal, and perform prayers other than obligatory and recommended prayers. I don't know if you've ever heard of it, but you can wake up at night before the morning prayer and perform prayer. This isn't new, it doesn't add anything to the religion; you do it for the sake of Allah, and it's mentioned in the hadiths.

I once heard a sheikh tell a story about a man who came into a masjid and started praying randomly, then the skeikh warned the man about it and the man questioned ''Will Allah punish me for praying?'' sheikh replied ''Allah won't punish you for praying, Allah will punish you for bid'ah (innovation)''

When it comes to the affairs of this life... all actions are halal, except the ones Allah swt told us are haram.

When it comes to worship... all worship is haram, except what Allah told us in halal.

So Allah says that on the day of Jumaa there is a special prayer with a special reward. And you say on the month of Rajab there is a special prayer with a special reward. Do you see the problem here? When you specify a certain time for a worship, without evidence thinking that it has a special reward just because of that time, this is an innovation my dear brother. The harm is that every year you will do this act at the specific time, then you will teach it to your children and your family and you will add to it more types of prayers and even add anasheed, music and even dancing, then we have 3 Eids, Eid Al Adha, Eid Al Fitr, then Eid Rajab ...all without evidence.

{Say, ˹O Prophet,˺ “If you ˹sincerely˺ love Allah, then follow me; Allah will love you and forgive your sins. For Allah is All-Forgiving, Most Merciful.”} 3:31 Quran.

We are not better than the prophet (pbuh). If there was any special reward in Rajab he would have told us.

Yes, there isn't a specific prayer for the Miraj and Regaib nights, but there's no harm in performing it as a voluntary prayer. Expressing your feelings towards God and offering heartfelt prayers and sending blessings upon the Prophet is very rewarding. You can perform this prayer in a mosque or at home, and it's commonly practiced among the Muslim community and you can pray like 2-4-12 its pray named hacet namazi its like ramadan pray youre praying night pray 13 and after make 20 pray its named teravih pray but its sunnet but ragip pray isnt (you can also say thing named salavat for prophet muhammed its isnt haram)

@farukgoodman, there is no evidence for a specific worship for the month of Rajab or for the incident of al Miraj (mirac kandil).

@seyh, yes that's OK but try to differentiate even in the colors, dont match the colors of Christmas

regaib kandil mubarek muslim brothers (maybe time diffrence/day diffrence i in turkey if your not happen this day make fasting its soo helal,if your cant wait untill mirac kandil born of muhammed sav,yours also can pray 12 rakah in regaib night look details in internet )

MUSLIMS CELEBRATE CHRISTMAS AND NEW YEARS? - By Shaykh Uthaymeen رحمه الله‎

The Pagan roots of Christmas & the stance of the Muslim - By Sh. Abu Khadeejah Abdul-Wāhid حفظه الله

https://youtube.com/watch?v=KS3oxr46rKc

I really like festive lights, the kind that are used in christmas celebrations primarily. I do believe decorating just for that day is haram even if you don't intend to celebrate. But I have them on all year long, I don't think this action is wrong but I'd still like to ask

Among the points of pride in being a Muslim is that our two holidays (Eids) are authenticated in the Quran and Sunnah with a sound chain of narration to the prophet (pbuh) or to Allah (swt) (in the case of the Quran) and we actually get rewarded for participating in them.

Why would we go and celebrate Christmas when it's not even mentioned as a holiday in the Bible (if we assume that the Bible was authentic and not fabricated) also, the birthday of Jesus (pbuh) isn't even verified !!! We don't even celebrate the birth of prophet Muhammad (pbuh) (some Muslims do but it's an innovation), and in the end we only gain sins for helping in glorifying a major sin which is associating partners with God!

There occurs in the hadeeth of Allah’s Messenger (salallāhu ʿalaihi wasallam) that he said: “When Allah takes the child of a servant (through death), He says to the angels, ‘Did you take the child of my servant?’ So, the angels reply ‘Yes.’ Then Allah says, ‘You took the fruit of his heart?’ So, they again respond by saying, ‘Yes.’ So, then Allah says to the angels, ‘And what did my servant say?’ So, they say, ‘He praised you and he said انا لله وانا اليه راجعون, to Allah we belong and to Him we shall return.’ So, then Allah says to His angels, ‘Build for my servant a house in Jannah and name it the House of Praise.”

(Reported by at-Tirmidhi who declares it to be hasan-gharib and Imām Ahmad in Al-Musnad. Sheikh al-Albāni declared it to be hasan in As-Silsilah, no. 1408)

#7 Morning Motivation: Prophet Loved Optimism, Do you? - Shaykh Hassan As-Somali

THE SCHOLARS ARE LIKE THE STARS IN THE SKY

His Eminence, Shaykh Dr. ’Abdullāh ibn ’Abd ar-Raḥīm al-Bukhārī — may Allāh preserve him — said:

مَثَلُ الْعُلَمَاءِ مَثَلُ النُّجُومِ فِي السَّمَاءِ، إِنْ تَرَكَهَا النَّاسُ ضَلُّوا، وَإِنْ تَغَيَّبَتْ عَنْهُمْ تَحَيَّرُوا، هَكَذَا يَقُولُ أَبُو قِلَابَةَ رَحِمَهُ اللهُ وَرَضِيَ عَنْهُ فِي الْمُصَنَّفِ لِابْنِ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ

“The scholars are like the stars in the sky: if people abandon them, they go astray; and if they disappear from them, they become confused. Thus said Abū Qilābah — may Allāh have mercy on him and be pleased with him — in al-Muṣannaf by Ibn Abī Shaybah.”
