STRICTLY CONFIDENTIAL Eyes of Scholars Only

What will The Prophet(saw) Say?

V.R. O

If he knows that we differ

Differ:
1 In daily prayer Time! 2 Fasting Days and timing in Breaking Fast 3 People in same street and even same house! & 4 Breaking Fast long past usual dinner time! 5 Inconvenient Prayer Times someplace, sometimes!

Unbelievable, Yet Sadly TRUE

01

UNITE How?

Follow:
The Quran and the way of The Prophet (saw) by understanding the Attributes of Allah N The Character of Our Prophet (saw) strictly 02

Allah says You are the best nation that ever existed among humanity I have made Islam Easy for You It is for All Time, All People, at All Location & Allah is All Knowledgeable All Merciful All Powerful

Can this criteria be used in every situation 03

Pearls of Wisdom( just a glimse ) Unity Salat only in Arabic n together (commended) Pray only in one direction Fast/Celebrate as in the Town you visit although it may differ from where you come Taravih is more meritorious if you complete the witr with Imam although 8 rakat is the sunna All the Ummah agree, its from our Prophet (saw) Clear, Practical Instructions how to determine a new month-how to see, how to calculate, how to accept a verdict Prayer/Sleep The Prophet (pbuh) said, One should not sleep before the night prayer, nor have discussions after it [SB 574]. Additionally, Muslims are required to wake up for Fajr prayer, which is about one hour before sunrise. The Prophet did not sleep after Fajr prayer. In addition, the Prophet (saw) told his companions that early morning work is blessed by Allh. and made your sleep as a thing for rest. 78:9 The sunna in every aspect of living!!! from going to toilet to mosque - clear n simple 04

Made Life easy for the Ummah Salah Reduced-Miraj- Salat was reduced to 5! Salah Hastened- Congregational Prayer was hastened so a mother could attend a crying child! He addressed a gathering( angry) and said prayers should be not long as there are the old, the sick and those who have matters to attend Break Fast early,Commence late- eat till just before Subah, and Breakfast Immediately after Sunrise.(we are asked not to delay in breaking fast and it is long before normal dinner time) Convey The Message- even if we knew only one The Lowest of Faith- is to remove obstacles in the path( if problems may arise even in a community take action to avert) Character
Very approachable, even by a child Humble (eg: people were asked not to get up when he came), Honest Truthful Willing listener to others opinion, implement immediately, although it is different from his. Encouraged consultation resulting in consensus. Just People valued his advice as the Trustworthy (eg: Kaba incident before prophethood) Very Clean, always in his best clothes when people came to see him as a sign of Respect.

Guidance from the Quran UNITY:Do not make sects Gain Knowledge: Indeed, in the creation of the heavens and the earth and the alternation of night and day are signs for those of understanding 3:190 Understand with Relativity: Time Say (to them O Muhammad SAW): "I exhort you on one thing) only: that you stand up for Allah's sake
in pairs and singly, and reect (within yourselves

the life history of the Prophet SAW): there is no madness in your companion (Muhammad SAW), he is only a warner to you in face of a severe torment." to standup and Reect so that we come out of this MESS(34:46) Nature's Obedience: Human Body: SLEEP: Islam emphasizes the importance of getting enough sleep. Hadith (SB) by the Prophet (pbuh) says, If anyone of you feels drowsy while praying he should go to bed (sleep) till his slumber is over (SB 210). The Prophet (pbuh) told one of his companions (Ibn Amr) who was praying the whole night Offer prayers and also sleep at night, as your body has a right on you (SB 1874). 06

Once the Prophet (pbuh) entered the Mosque and saw a rope hanging in between its two pillars. He said, What is this rope? The people said, This rope is for Zainab, who, when she feels tired, holds it (to keep standing for the prayer.) The Prophet (pbuh) said, Don't use it. Remove the rope. pray as long as you feel active, and when you get tired, sleep (SB 1099).
FOOD: Fasting- a very very early breakfast and a very early dinner while skipping lunch. TIME: The sun and the moon run on their xed courses (exactly) calculated with measured out stages for each (for reckoning, etc.). 55:5 FACTS: Humans eat 3 times a day, sleep in the night after dinner, and active during the day naturally. Village Then- is a community of people , where material and communication passes freely with relative ease and almost within the day compared to between two countries. Global Village-almost instantaneous in most cases!

REFLECT Allah says He did not make Religion Difcult. Prophet(saw) said we are a illiterate nation!... compute thus(exertingr faculties for accuracy) Confusion among today's Ummah, even those in same Street/ same Household! Hardship in Fasting/Prayers in some countries during some periods! Ignorance: Should they not have asked if they didn't know! Verily the cure of all ignorance is to question! Abu dawood re. head injury & wudu caused death May Allah give our Scholars Wisdom to Understand the terrible state we are in and A Solution for a Fundamental Understanding of Unity to do Good Deeds. Ameen

DEAR RELIGIOUS SCHOLARS Please look at the Quran , Hadith and the Noble Character of The Prophet(saw) The cure of all ignorance is to question! Is not the Global Village Now even more close than a Village then Islam is for all time for all mankind How can we unite on Prayer and Eid Times Can we use celestial calculation for accuracy and uniformity Allah says: He did not make Religion Difcult (How can we fast and pray without hardship at all times, where the Biological Clock is out of step with the Celestial Clock) Oh Allah! remove disunity in our Practices, and bond our Hearts with Love and Understanding. Ameen

Note from Above We have to getup from sleep to pray Isha or it is very very early. We have to eat Sahar just after Dinner and Breakfast after normal dinner time or breakfast at tea time! Cannot stay up after Subah as in Hadith to do gainful work. Yet, every one on earth go to work almost at same time, eat 3 meals and go to sleep. Subject to minor changes due to climate. Thus our biological clock is more or less consistent throughout the world. 10

Let Us Unite
URGENT Is there not a consensus among scholars, that where sunrise/sunset are very abnormal times, that it is permissible to follow the closest country? Closest country in what way? Should we not understand, it should be as close as the timing in Holy Medina as during the time of our Holy Prophet(pbuh). -sunrise ..a few hours before going to work(perhaps an hour before children getup?)
-sunset...1-2 hours before normal dinner time

When we take into account the biological clock in us; Insha Allah this may give an indication of proper times of prayer and fasting in these countries. This will eliminate today's ridiculous practice of breaking fast after their normal dinner time just because the sun set is at 9.30 pm!!!! Additional Research perhaps will help us all unite on the Islamic calendar too, Insha Allah.
