🔷 Virtues of fasting generally🔷

🌑 Whoever fasts one day for the sake of Allaah, Allaah will keep his face seventy years' distance away from the Fire because of it." (Reported by Muslim, 2/808)

🌒 Fasting is something which is just for Allaah, and Allaah will give multiple rewards without measure for it. The hadeeth says: "[Allaah says:] Fasting is Mine and it is I Who give reward for it." (Al-Bukhaari, Fath, no. 1904)


- Virtues of fasting Monday and Thursday:

🌓 It was narrated from Abu Hurayrah (may Allaah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allaah (sallAllaahu 'alayhi wa sallam) said: "Deeds are shown (to Allaah) on Mondays and Thursdays, and I like my deeds to be shown when I am fasting." [Narrated by al-Tirmidhi, 747; classed as saheeh by al-Albaani in Saheeh al-Targheeb, 1041.]


- Virtues of fasting ayyamul beedh (the white days):

🌔 Jareer ibn 'Abdullaah (radiAllaahu 'anhu) narrated that the Prophet (sallAllaahu 'alayhi wa sallam) said: "Fasting three days of each month is fasting for a lifetime, and ayyam al-beed are the thirteenth, fourteenth and fifteenth." (Narrated by al-Nasaa'i (2420); classed as saheeh by al-Albaani in Saheeh al-Targheeb, (1040)).

"Beed" is the plural of "Abyad" which means white. Three days of 13, 14 and 15 of lunar month are called "Al-Ayyam-ul-Beed" for the reason that their nights are bright because of the moonlight. The moon begins to diminish gradually after these days.

🌕 Abu Dharr (radiAllaahu 'anhu) said: The Messenger of Allaah (sallAllaahu 'alayhi wa sallam) said to me: "If you fast any part of the month, then fast the thirteenth, fourteenth and fifteenth." (Narrated by al-Tirmidhi, (761); al-Nasaa'i, (2424); classed as saheeh by al-Albaani in Saheeh al-Targheeb, (1038)).

🌖 Abu Hurayrah (radiAllaahu 'anhu) said: "My close friend [i.e., the Prophet (sallAllaahu 'alayhi wa sallam)] advised me to do three things which I will never give up until I die: fasting three days each month, praying Duha, and sleeping after praying Witr." (al-Bukhaari, 1178; Muslim, 721).

Get Ijaza of Transmission of the WHOLE of Shama'il al Tirmidhi this Saturday with Two World Renown Hadith Scholar's:

This Saturday between 5:15pm-7pm there is a SPECIAL MAQRA'AH (Recital) of the whole of Shama'il al-Tirmidhi. This is absolutely FREE and students who listen to the whole text will receive Ijaza of transmission from Shaykh Mohammad Akram Nadwi himself and the great reader of hadith, Shaykh Mohammad Ziyaad Tukle of Riyadh. This is a RARE chance to get Ijaza from these Scholar's. In the past people would travel months to read and get Ijaza so make the time to attend this noble gathering of hadith in London this Saturday.

To register, email: alburujpress@gmail.com

What is a Maqra'ah?

A "Maqra'ah" refers to a reading of a text, usually a Hadīth source, in an intense fashion over a number of sittings on usually continuous days or as best possible by the participants. The recital is usually supervised by a scholar who has an ijāzah in that text and is aware of the subtle intricacies of the text and sanad and is able to ensure an authentic transmission during the reading.

The reading is of course incredibly fast, only carried out by the most proficient students or scholars, utilising various styles of qirā'ah, all faster than then well known Qur'ānic hadr speed - it needs to be of course if the expected speed of at least 1000 hadīth per day is to be achieved (with isnād).
This might confuse some people, what with the lack of time to fully reflect upon the wisdoms and secrets of the text, or the lack of time for an explanation of difficult and strange phrases/words. In reality, attendees have to appreciate that a Maqra'ah is not a lesson, or a commentary, or a study or anything else that will cover such queries as above, rather it is used by those attendees to perfect their recitation, to become familiar with the narrators, and most importantly to make "dhabt" or affirm for themselves the exact contents of a particular text or source.

The benefits of such a practice have been well known to the scholars of our nation for many generations yet due to the difficulties of our time and the modern day context, we have seen a drop in this art and beneficial sitting, alongside the other problems experienced such as the free-time of the supervising scholar, the lack of scholars with the correct credentials to lead, the lengths of the texts, the unsuitability of the students etc.

Clearly to revive such a noble practice, we need to remind ourselves what is required from those Tullāb'l-'Ilm who wish to partake as well as take a glimpse back to our Nubalā' who practised this from the major Imams of Islam.
For the student, an eloquent and free tongue for reciting is a must, alongside high energy and fitness levels to ensure drowsiness is held at bay. Naturally, before this for all participants, there needs to be a real keenness and desire to learn, immense patience, and of course the most important: a pure intention to progress for the sake of Allah 'azza wa jall and His Deen alone.
