all your heart. This includes praising of their qualities which are the reason
for their being at the highest pinnacle of human spirituality. They are
human yet NOOR (sublime light created by Allah Almighty before the
creation of the universe)

10. Tabarra means showing annoyance with the enemies of the Holy
Prophet (pbuh) and the Holy Imams (a.s). This does not mean that one
should go out and fight with everyone, but to explain to them why we love

This saying of Lady Fatima (s.a) sums up

I slam beauty fully.
Allah (swt) has made faith (Iman) [the means] to purify one from
polytheism (Shirk); and [made] prayer (Salat) to guard one from
arrogance; and [prescribed] alms (Zakat) to chasten one's self and increase
one's sustenance; and [prescribed] the fast (Sawm) to strengthen sincere
devotion [to Allah (swt)]; and [prescribed] the pilgrimage (Hajj) to elevate
the religion (Deen); and [enjoined] justice (Adil) to harmonize the hearts;
and [enjoined] obedience to us (Ahlul Bayt) to organize the Islamic
community (Millah); and our Leadership (Imamah) as a trust to avoid
disunity; and [prescribed] holy war (Jihad) to honour Islam and denounce
the unbelievers and hypocrites; and the bidding of good (Amr-Bil-Maroof)
and forbidding of evil (Nahi-anil-Munkar) for the benefit of the people in
general; and kindness to parents as a shield against the anger [of Allah
(swt)]; and strengthening one's ties with near kin to prolong [one's] life;...
and the forbiddance of alcoholic drink to guard
oneself from filth; and Allah (swt) has prohibited polytheism for the
sincere devotion to His Divinity; so [O you who believe!] fear Allah (swt) as
you should, and [see that] you die not but as Muslims.

SACRED SCRIPTURES ARE FOUR

(FROM ALLAH) HOLY BOOKS

Many books were revealed (sent) to the Prophets by Allah. Four of them
are important. They are 1ST. Taw-rat; 2ND. Zabur;
3RD. Injil; 4TH. Qur'an-e-Majid.

You should know that:

1. Taw-rat was revealed to Hazrat Musa (a.s) D
2. Zabur was revealed to Hazrat Dawood (a.s) D
3. Injil was revealed to Hazrat Essa (a.s) D
4. The Quran was revealed to our Holy Prophet
Hazrat Muhammad Mustafa (pbuh). A

All previous books were cancelled by Allah when the Quran was sent.
Now it is the only authentic and true book which is to be followed by all
men and women.

Mut
ahhiraat There is twelve things which make najis objects Pak:
1. Water
2. Earth
3. The Sun
4. Transformation (Istihala)
5. Change (Inqilab)
6. Transfer (Intiqal)
7. Islam
8. Subjection (Taba'iyat)
9. Removal of original najasat
10. Confining (Istibra) of animal which feeds on najasat
11. Disappearance of a Muslim
12. Draining of the usual quantity of blood from the slaughtered body of
an animal.

Najis Things:-The following ten things are essentially najis:

• Urine
• Faeces
• Semen
• Dead body
• Blood
• Dog
• Pig
• Kafir
• Alcoholic liquors
• The sweat of an animal that persistently eats najasat.

Ghusl (Obligatory Baths): There are seven obligatory baths:

• Bath for Janabat
• Bath for Hayz (for women only)
• Bath for Nifas (for women only)
• Bath for Istihaza (for women only)
• Bath for touching a dead body
• Bath for a dead body
• Bath which becomes obligatory on account of a vow or an oath to
perform it.

There are two methods of performing Ghusl's, both Wajib and Mustahab
1. Tartibi (Sequential) 2. Irtimasi (By submerging the whole body).
14

Tartibi
1st. In this method, a person should first make a niyyat for Ghusl. There
after one should first wash one's head and neck, and there after the
remaining parts of one's body. It is better that one washes the right part of
the body first and then the left part. And if a person, while standing under
the water, jerks each of these parts on one's body with an intention of
performing Tartibi Ghusl, it will not be sufficient and the precaution is
that one should not content oneself with it... And if a person washes the
body before washing the head, either intentionally, or on account of
forgetfulness or because of not knowing the rule, Ghusl is void.

2nd. If a person washed the body before the head it will not be necessary to
repeat the bath. What one has to do is to wash the body again and Ghusl
will then be correct.

3rd. In order to ensure that both the parts (head, neck and remaining parts
of the body) have been washed thoroughly one should, while washing a
part, also include some portion of the other part with it.

4th. After the Ghusl, if a person realises that certain parts of the body have
been left out, not knowing which, it will not be necessary to wash the head
again. One will wash only those parts of one's body which one feels had not
been washed.

5th. If one realises after Ghusl that one has not washed a certain part of
the body it is sufficient to wash only that part if it is the left side. However,
if that part is the right side then the recommended precaution is that after
washing that part of the body one should wash the left side again. And if
the unwashed part is that of head and neck one should, after washing that
part, wash the body once again.

6th. If a person doubts before completing Ghusl whether one has washed a
part on the left or right side it will be necessary to wash that part and if
one doubts about having washed a part of the head and neck then, as an
obligatory precaution, one would wash that part and then wash the right
and the left side of the body again.
 15

Irtimasi
1st. Ghusl by way of Irtimasi is either carried out instantly or gradually. If
the Ghusl of Irtimasi is to be done at one instance, then water must
reach all parts of the body at one time. However, it is not necessary that
the whole body is submerged in water from the very beginning of Ghusl. If
a part of the body is outside, and is later submerged with the niyyat of
Ghusl, it will be deemed in order.

2nd. If one wishes to perform Irtimasi Ghusl gradually, then it is necessary

that the whole body is out of water before Ghusl commences.
Then one would submerge one's body gradually in water with the intention
of Ghusl.

3rd. If after performing Ghusl Irtimasi it becomes known that water has
not reached some part of the body one should repeat the Ghusl, whether
the part up to which water has not reached is determined or not.

4th. If one does not have sufficient time for Tartibi, one should perform
Ghusl by way of Irtimasi.

5th. A person who has put on Ihram for Hajj and Umrah is not allowed
performing Ghusl by way of Irtimasi. However, if one performs it
forgetfully the Ghusl will be valid

WUZU
 16

TAYAMMUM

1st 2nd 3rd

Tayammum, i.e. purification by means of clean pure sand or clean dry dust
or stone and whitewash mix with clay

Dry ablution (Tayammum)

Tayammum is a substitute for Wazu or Ghusl. Sometimes we find our
selves in a situation in which we do not have access to water, and we have
entered a state of ritual impurity. For situations like these, Allah, the
Wise and Compassionate has commanded “. . . If you are in a state of
ceremonial impurity, bathe your whole body, but if you are ill or on a
journey, or one of you has come from offices of nature, or have been in
contact with women, and you find no water, then take for yourselves clean
sand or earth and rub therewith your faces and hands, Allah does not wish
to place on you difficulty, but to make you clean and to complete His
favour to you, that you may be grateful. We can conclude from this verse
that if you are travelling and no water is to be found, over you are ill and
cannot perform ghusl, Tayammum is permissible. If water is not available
and you feel that your prayers will be late) before water found, it is also
sufficient to do Tayammum.

1· Rub the palm of your right hand on clean soil, sand, or stone.
2· Draw it across your forehead.
3· Rub your palms again on the soil, act.
4· Draw the left palm across the back of the right arm and hand.
5· Draw the right palm across the back of the left arm and hand.

What is Wazu
Wazu is the special way to wash yourself before you pray and it was taught
by our Holy Prophet, Prophet Muhammad (s.a.w), after he came back
from Me'raj. In Me'raj the Holy Prophet (s.a.w) did Wazu with the water
from the river in Heaven. Allah says in the Holy Quran, Surah Al-Maidah
in verse 6: "O you who believe! When you get ready for Salaat, wash your
faces, wash your hands up to (and including) the elbows, and wipe (a part
of) your heads, and (a part of) your feet to the ankles.
17

Wazu is not only needed for Salaat but Wazu is also recommended to do:
• Wajib Tawaaf in Hajj
• Touching the writing of the Holy Quran
• Touching the names of Allah and the 14 Masoomeen
• Before you sleep
• Before you go to the Imambargah
• When you are angry (as it calms you down)
• In fact anytime at all.
Before doing Wazu you should make sure that the parts of Wazu
(face, arms, head, and feet) are all Pak, and have nothing on.
Them which would stop the water getting there. e.g. Plaster, nail
varnish, rings, watch, socks…

WUZU ACTION IS DIVIDED INTO 2 PARTS SUNNAT AND WAJIB

1. Sunnat actions - those actions which do not have to be done, but if done
you get more Sawab (Reward from Allah).
2. Wajib actions - those actions which have to be done, otherwise the Wazu
is wrong. You should try to do Wazu with both the Sunnat and Wajib
actions so that you get lots of Sawab

The Sunnat actions are:

1. Washing your hands -
This should be done two times.
2. Washing your mouth (gargling) -
This should be done three times.
3. Washing your nose (taking water
into the nostrils) - This should be don three times.
WUZU-WAJIB ACTIONS: Washing the face before
you start to Wash the face, you should do the first Wajib action of Wazu.
This is Niyyat (what you are going to do and for whom).

Niyyat: You should say “I do Wazu "Qurbatan ilal-laah” for the pleasure
of Allah. Now do the next Wajib action that is
washing your face First get some water in your
right hand and then pour it onto your forehead,
where the hair grows. You have to wash the whole
length of your face beginning from your forehead
(where the hair grows) ending at the bottom of the

18

chin. You have to wash the whole width of your face.

You do this by stretching your hand out
(from your thumb to your middle finger) as shown in
picture .To makes sure that the whole width has been
washed, you should pass your wet hand on either side
of your face. To wash your face once is enough but it is better to wash your
face two times, but not more than twice.

WASHING THE ARMS

The next Wajib action in Wazu is washing your arms: The washing of the
arms is from the elbow to the fingertips. First the right arm is washed
with the left hand, and then the left arm is washed with the right hand.
This is done once, better twice but no more. The washing of the arms is
little different for Male and Female.
For Male: The water is poured
above the back part of the elbow. >>>>>>
For Female: The water is poured
above the front part of the elbow. >>>>>>>

WAJIB MASAH
MASAH: - After washing of the face and the
arms come wiping, this is known as Masah.
Masah is done of the head and of the feet.
Masah of the head: - This is done by wiping the wet three fingers of the
right hand from the middle of the head up to the edge of the hair, without
touching the forehead. The water of the face and head should not mingle.
 Masah of the head

Masah of the feet: - This is done by wiping the wet

fingers of the right hand over the upper part of the
right foot, from the tip of the toes to the ankle.

Masah of the feet

Then the same is done with the left hand for the left foot
