Question:
Know in your heart that you have completed what you set out to do and that the rest is from Shaitaan. Inshallah, Allah will cure you from this illness.

Once Hazrat Maulana Rashid Ahmed Gangohi performed wuzu then he had thoughts that he forgot to do masah. So he went and did it. Then he felt that his elbow is still dry, so he washed it. Then he felt that his ankle was also left dry. Now he said to himself, "This is not taqwa, this is something else." Then he said, "Even if it is dry, today I am going to pray Salah without wudhu." This is the way to get rid of waswasas. Be strong - Don't pay attention to such thoughts.


REMEMBER THESE 2 THINGS AND IGNORE THE THOUGHTS AS THEY ARE FROM SHAYTAN

AND DONT SUCCUMB TO YOUR DOUBTS AND WASH YOUR HANDS AGAIN

i remember something from a bayan that you have all these impurities inside you i.e urine,stool, semen etc but only when they come come out it breaks your wudhu

the same way these thoughts are inside you not outside


And they are from shaytan so dont worry about kufr Remember

It is narrated from Abu Hurayra (may Allah be pleased with him), who ascribed it back to the Prophet (may peace and blessings be upon him) that he said, "Truly, Allah has overlooked for my Ummah that which is whispered, or the which is thought about in the lower self, as long as they do not act upon it, or speak about it." [al-Bukhari, Sahih]

About Anger


What Is The Best Way To Deal With Anger and Waswasa?

ANGER

ANSWER TO THE FIRST QUERY: Anger is natural to man. There is no man without the instinct of anger. Allah has placed this quality in man for some reason. It is given to man for the purpose of protecting himself, his possessions, his family and his relatives. If he is bereft of the quality of anger then he will never be angry and never defend himself when attacked by an enemy or an animal. So, man is allowed to show anger to protect himself and, the Shariah has not placed any restriction on that. However, what is required s that man keeps it under control, which if he does so, he will save himself from many difficulties. Conversely, if man does not control his anger he is prone to commit innumerable sins. It is anger that gives rise to arrogance; it gives root to jealousy; an angry man bears malice and is also hostile. Hence, man needs to learn how to use this innate tool of anger for his advantage and protect himself from its abuse and nasty consequences.

A FEW ANTIDOTES

Hereunder follow a few prescriptions and antidotes to 'diffuse' one in the rage of anger. May Allah Ta'ala grant us the Divine ability to implement these when we are placed in such situations, Āmin.

A) RECITE TA'WWUZ - When faced with a situation of anger and excitement, the first thing one should do is act on the directive that Allah Ta'ala has given in the Qurān:

وَإِمَّا يَنْزَغَنَّكَ مِنَ الشَّيْطَانِ نَزْغٌ فَاسْتَعِذْ بِاللَّهِ
"(O Rasulullah) If a provocation from Shaytan provokes you, then seek refuge in Allah."
(Surah Fussilat - S.41, V.36)

That is, recite,

أَعُوْذُ باِللهِ مِنَ الشَّيْطَانِ الرَّجِيْمْ
"I seek refuge in Allah from the dejected devil."

The devil has provoked you, but you have sought the refuge of Allah, so Allah will preserve you from its evil consequences.

B) SIT DOWN OR LIE DOWN - The next thing to be done when angry is to follow the advice of Rasulullah r. It is an unusual but psychological procedure. Rasulullah u advised,

"If you feel the rage of anger in you then, if you are standing, sit down. If the feeling persists in that posture, then lie down." (Abu Dāwud, Vol.2, Pg.316, Maktabah Ramāniyyah)
C) THINK OF THE POWER OF ALLAH - Yet another method to counter anger is to say to oneself,

"Suppose Allah was to be angry at me in the same way I am angry at this man, then what will become of me?"

We are told in a hadith that Rasulullah r came across Abu Bakr t scolding his slave. He was blaming him harshly. According to a version, Rasilullah r said,

"Remember, Allah has more power and authority over you than you have over him. You use your authority to hurt him but Allah has more authority over you."

D) GET ALLAH'S HELP WHEN YOU NEED IT THE MOST - It is recorded in one of the previous Divine books that Allah Ta'ala has mentioned regarding an angry person,

"Remember me in the time of your anger and I (Allah) will consider you at time when I am in full fury."
(Ihyā Ulumiddīn Vol.2, Pg.219; Dāru Misr Littibā'ah)

E) KEEP SILENT - Sayyiduna Ibn Abbās t has reported Rasulullah r to have said,

"When you become angry, remain silent."
(Ihyā Ulumiddīn Vol.2, Pg.219; Dāru Misr Littibā'ah)

By remaining silent, calm and sedate, one will be in complete control of one's mind and senses thus allowing one to act in correct measure.

F) REMEMBER THESE PHRASES - Next time, before getting angry or while one is in a fit of anger, one may well consider the following wise sayings-

"Anger Is A Very Valuable Thing So Don't Lose It!"

"For Every Minute You Are Angry, You Lose 60 Seconds Of Happiness!"

May Allah Ta'ālā protect us from the snares of Shaytan and nafs, and may He allow us to attain His Divine pleasure through our anger, Āmīn.

From the following you can say

1. Ignore the doubts because they are only inside you and are from shaytan and dont worry about kufr

2. Do not follow the doubts i.e washing yourself more times

3. Last but not least Do not forget to make DUA as

Laa hawla wala quwwata illa billah
No one has the power to abstain from the sins or the ability to do righteous deeds unless helped by Allah

Inshaalah after this the doubts will go

A good example is I have visitors at my house who do not wear shoes in the area they are supposed. They make wudhu in the kitchen where my wife & I walk with shoes. They then walk with wet feet in the kitchen in to 'no shoes room' where Salah is made. I therefore feel hugely uncomfortable because I think all the rooms they have walked in with wet feet have now become napaak. Hence I tiptoe around, avoiding certain rooms, get demoralised and get late for Salah. In fact I just feel like slapping some sense into the visitor.

Assalaamu 'alaykum
I do believe anything dry is paak...the wet feet do not actually have any impurity on them as the kitchen floor i'm sure would not have any impurity like urine. So now tell yourself there is no napaaki on the feet of the guest...and all the other rooms are dry and therefore paak.

Also a solution is to keep a pair of flipflops in the kitchen for the guest.

Bismillah

Al-jawab billahi at-taufeeq (the answer with Allah's guidance)


There is a principle in Usulul Fiqh (fundamental principles of Islamic jurisprudence) which is known as, Istishab al-wasf (continuity of attribute) means to presume continuity of an attribute until the contrary is established.

All places are considered clean unless there are visible or clear traces of uncleanliness like, its colour, smell, or taste.

If there are visible or clear traces of uncleanliness then the practical way to remove filth from the floor or the areas which has been contaminated by the filth is to first remove all traces of the filth (If the colour or smell is difficult to remove, it need not be removed) by scrubbing it using any necessary cleaning agents and then wiping it with a cloth. After this, you only need to pour water over the surface to purify it. (Nurul Idhah Pg. 54)

(w w w. muftisays .c o m)

If you are in doubt of the surface being impure then one should discard their doubts.
Always trying to make things more difficult on yourself may lead to psychological problems and may open the doors for the Shaytan.

Just remember what Allah Ta'ala has said in the Quran,

"Allah intends for you ease, and He does not want to make things difficult for you." (2:185)


So be thankful to Him and stop worrying about the doubts and Wasawis (whispers).

(w w w. muftisays .c o m)

Another solution could be to

(A) Stop walking with shoes in the kitchen

(B) Kindly tell your guests to walk in the kitchen with shoes when they come or intend to do wudhu

Q:When in the english toilet, if the trouser touches the floor in the bathroom, does this make the trouser napaak?
Question

When in the english toilet, if the trouser touches the floor in the bathroom, does this make the trouser napaak?

Answer

The floor will be either wet or dry. If it's dry, nothing becomes napaak. It it's wet, then if you can be certain that it's napaak (e.g. due to the smell of urine), then the clothes will be napaak otherwise no.

(w w w. tafseer-raheemi .c o m)


And i am confident Ml abdur raheem was talking about urine i.e if there is urine on the floor and if the urine is dry or wet

Evidence of this is that in his reply he states "due to the smell of urine"
