Biography of this week...

Bismillah,

Habib Umar bin Hafiz is a descendant of the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, through his grandson Imam Hussain, may Allah be pleased with him.

He was born in Tarim, Hadramaut in Yemen, and raised in a household that possessed a tradition and lineage of Islamic scholarship and righteousness, his father being the famous martyr, scholar, and caller to Islam Al-Habib Muhammad bin Salim.

Having memorized the Qur’an at a very early age, Habib Umar also memorized the core texts in fiqh, hadith, Arabic Language, and other religious sciences. He studied many sciences including spirituality from his father Al-Habib Muhammad bin Salim, acquiring from him a deep love and concern for da‘wah and religious counsels in the way of Allah.

He attended numerous circles of knowledge held by many traditional scholars, such as Muhammad bin Alawi bin Shihab and al-Shaikh Fadl Baa Fadl. Later, he enrolled at the Ribat of al-Bayda’, where he began to study the traditional sciences under the expert tutelage of Al-Habib Muhammad bin Abd-Allah al-Haddar, as well as under the Shafi‘i jurist and scholar Al-Habib Zain bin Sumait. Habib Umar was given permission to teach soon after.

Afterwards, he began to visit many neighboring towns and communities across Yemen and studied with the mufti of Ta‘iz, al-Habib Ibrahim bin Aqil bin Yahya, who began to show him much love and attention. He received similar treatment from his Shaikh al-Habib Muhammad al-Haddar, who gave him his daughter’s hand in marriage after being impressed by his uprightness and intelligence. Al-Habib Umar then traveled to the Hijaz and studied several books with prominent scholars, including Al-Habib Abdul Qadir bin Ahmad al-Saqqaf, Al-Habib Ahmed Mashur al-Haddad, and Al-Habib Attas al-Habashi.

Wherever Habib Umar has gone, no stone has been left unturned in his attempt to revive the love of Allah and His Messenger, peace and blessing be upon him, in the hearts of people. After returning to Tarim, he established Dar al-Mustafa, an educational institute to which students from across the world have come to study. Habib Umar currently lives in Tarim, where he oversees the development of Dar al-Mustafa and the many schools that have been set up under his management.

Sheikh Habib Umar is our teacher's teacher (Abdul Kareem) and we have learned to love and respect him as much. That is what we get from him, the love and the respect for the teachers and the family of our beloved nabi Muhammad (saw). May Allah (The Exalted) bless Sheikh Habib Umar and shower him and his family and students with blessings and a great place in Jannah. Ameen.

I' tikaf (spiritual retreat) for women....


Bismillah,


It is permitted for women to do i`tikaf (spiritual retreat) in a specific place in their house, whenever they have the time and are able to do so without neglecting their family duties and other responsibilities.


The same considerations would apply as in any other i`tikaf: ones primary concern during the time should be towards worship, and unnecessary worldly activity should be avoided.

Even when one is in their monthly period, it is recommended in the Hanafi school to sit in a designated place of prayer (musalla) at home, after having made wudu, and make dhikr for the time it takes to pray.

It is recommended for women to designate a place in their houses as their 'masjid'. They can do i`tikaf there at any time, even for a brief period of time, [Radd al-Muhtar] and attain the great rewards mentioned in the hadiths for i`tikaf (as long as they fulfill their other worldly and religious duties, as is the case for men).

The Prophet (Allah bless him & give him peace) said, Whoever stands the nights of Ramadan in prayer out of faith and seeking reward shall have their previous sins forgiven. [Bukhari & Muslim]

May Allah give us success to follow the guidance of His Beloved (Allah bless him & give him peace).

RAMADAN MUBARAK!!!!!!

Bismillah..
MashAllah,
El mes de Ramadan se hizo decender en dirección para los hombres y pruebas claras de guía y del Discernimiento.
Corán, surat 2, verso 184.

The month of Ramadan:

The Messenger of Allah (may Allah bless him and grant him peace) says, "Ramadan has come to you. (It is) a month of blessing, in which Allah covers you with blessing, for He sends down Mercy, decreases sins and answers prayers. In it, Allah looks at your competition (in good deeds), and boasts about you to his angels. So show Allah goodness from yourselves, for the unfortunate one is he who is deprived in (this month) of the mercy of Allah, the Mighty, the Exalted." [Narrated by Tabarani]

Source.. Sunnipath.

Bien sea en el mes de Ramadán, o en otros meses, son los siguientes:

1) La abstinencia de todo aquello que rompa el ayuno [Bien sea bebida, comida o relaciones carnales) desde el alba hasta la puesta del sol.
2) Tener presente la intención. Se debe tenerla presente en la mente y en el corazón, tiene que ser antes del fajr (inicio del tiempo de la primera oración del día), y puede ser dicha diariamente, o por todo el mes desde su inicio.
El procedimiento del ayuno es el siguiente:

1) As-suhur: El suhur consiste en tomar algún alimento por la madrugada, siempre antes del Fayr, por muy poco que sea la cantidad de comida o bebida, aunque fuera un poco de agua, tiempo que se extiende desde la medianoche hasta la entrada del momento de la oración, antes de las primeras luces del alba, con la intención del ayuno presente en la mente, pues el suhur es bendición y prosperidad como dice el Profeta (PB).

2) Romper el ayuno inmediatamente después de la puesta del sol y al comienzo del tiempo de la oración de magrib: Pues dice el Profeta (PB): "Los hombres permanecen en el bien mientras no retrasen la ruptura del ayuno después de la puesta del sol".

3) El orar y suplicar en el momento de romper el ayuno: Por ejemplo, decía el Profeta (PB): "Se fue la sed, se hidrataron las venas, y se logró la recompensa con el permiso de Dios".

4) El abstenerse de todo lo que contradice el ayuno en lo moral:Ya que el ayuno es una gran escuela de disciplina y doctrina, tanto espirituales como morales, pues no se limita a la abstinencia de comer o beber solamente, sino de todo lo que sea mala palabra, mal acto o mal pensamiento. El ayunante debería ser indulgente en caso de ser insultado o agredido por alguien, debiendo evitar todas las obscenidades.

5) El uso del siuák durante el ayuno:Es un trozo de rama de un árbol especial que se encuentra en la península arábiga y que es de muchos beneficios, tanto para los dientes como para las encías y la boca, y se usa como un cepillo de dientes.

6) Ser generoso: El musulmán siempre tiene que ser generoso, pero lo es más en el mes de Ramadán.

7) Incrementar la lectura del Sagrado Corán: Durante el mes de Ramadán, en que fue revelado el Sagrado Corán, se debe recitar éste con mayor frecuencia que en los otros meses. Además dijo el Profeta (PB): "El ayuno y el Sagrado Corán intercederán a favor del siervo el Día de la Resurrección."

8) Incrementar las prácticas: Sobre todo en los últimos diez días del mes de Ramadán, tal como lo hacía el Profeta (PB).

El ayuno se puede clasificar en dos tipos:

1- El ayuno obligatorio (Fard)
2- El ayuno voluntario (Nafl

Que tengan todos un feliz Ramadan lleno de bendiciones y de grandes aperturas
espirituales..amin.

Ramadan Mubarak! - a message from Shaykh Abdul-Kareem Yahyaa (may Allah preserve him & his teachers)

Bismillah,
As-salamu'alaykum wa rahmatullahi wa barakatuh
In the Name of Allah, Most Merciful and CompassionatePraise is for Allah, Lord of all beingsMay Allah bless and grant peace to our Liegelord Muhammad, his folk, companions and those who follow them in excellence until the last dayTo our beloved elders, brothers and sisters in Islam,As-salamu alaykum wa rahmatullahi wa barakatuh.

We ask Allah that He grant us, you and all Muslims His Mercy and that He turn to us that we may return to Him in repentance. Amin.

Some of you have asked for advice about preparing for Ramadan. So, with Allah’s aid, we can only respond by reminding ourselves and you of that which our teachers have advised us.Bayhaqi narrated in the Branches of Faith, on the authority of Jabir Bin Abdullah (Allah be pleased with him) that Allah's Messenger (Allah bless him and grant him peace) said:"My nation (ummah) was granted in Ramadan five things that no Prophet prior to me was given.

As for the first, when it is the first night of the month of Ramadan, Allah, Mighty and Majestic, gazes to them and the one to whom Allah looks, He does not punish him, ever.

As for the second, the smell of their mouths in the afternoon is more pleasant to Allah than the fragrance of musk.

As for the third, the angels seek forgiveness for them in each day and night.

As for the fourth Allah, Mighty and Majestic, commands His Paradise, He says to it, ‘Prepare yourself and adorn yourself for my slaves, they are about to take rest from the toil of the world to My Abode and My Generosity.’

And as for the fifth, when it is the last night, they are forgiven, all of them.” So a man from the people said, "Is it the Night of Power?" And the Prophet (Allah bless him and grant him peace) replied, "No, do you not see that if laborers work, when they finish their tasks, they are given their wages?"The first work of Ramadan that our teachers have advised us to perform is to expose ourselves to this gaze of Allah which the Prophet (peace be upon him) informed us of in the aforementioned tradition.

As the Prophet (peace be upon him) has taught us, Allah looks to the hearts.Habib Umar (Allah preserve him) advised the students of Dar al-Mustafa this afternoon and evening that Allah should see in our hearts poverty (extreme neediness) for Him. This is the real meaning of prostration.
Allah should also see from us on the first night of Ramadan sincere remorse and genuine repentance from all the wicked actions of our lives up to this point. In addition to this we should have mercy in our hearts for all of His creation and have a sincere desire for the guidance of all morally responsible beings on the surface of the Earth.
Allah (swa) shows mercy to those who are merciful.

Another manner of preparing our hearts for Allah’s gaze that our teachers have shown us by example is forgiving everyone. So following their example, with Allah’s aid, we absolve everyone from any of our rights that may have been transgressed and sincerely request forgiveness from all of you for any wrong we may have done to any of you.

We implore those who know of something we owe them to either request it from us or absolve us, and may Allah accept.

During Ramadan our teachers have advised us not to do anything with our limbs that would be a cause of sorrow for the heart of our beloved Prophet (peace be upon him).

We ask Allah to bless all of us this Ramadan and that He aid us in our fasting, praying and recitation of Quran.

We ask Him to cast His Gaze on us all on the first night of this Ramadan and that He forgive us our sins and raise us in degrees of nearness to Him and His beloved Prophet. May Allah bless him, his folk and companions and grant them peace.

Please keep Shaykh Abdul-Kareem & his family, this needy and the Ummah in your du'as

A SLIDE OF OUR COUNTRY...

BROTHERHOOD.


Bismillah...


The whole Community of Believers is conceived of as a great brotherhood.

' Surely the believers are but brothers. So set things right between your two brother, and aware of God - perhaps you will obtain mercy' (Qur'an 49:10).


Know that the contract of brotherhood is a bond between two persons, like the contract of marriage between two spouses. In all, this comprises of eight duties:


The first duty is the material one.

The lowest degree is where you place your brother on the same footing as your slave or your servant, attending to his need from your surplus. To oblige him to ask is the ultimate shortcoming in brotherly duty. At the second degree you place your brother on the same footing as yourself. At the third degree, the highest of all, you prefer your brother to yourself and set his need before your own. This is the degree of the siddiq, and the final stage for those united in spiritual love.


The second duty is to render personal aid in the satisfaction of needs, attending to them without waiting to be asked, and giving them priority over private needs. Here too there are different stages, as in the case of material support.

The lowest degree consists in attending to the need when asked and when in plenty, though with joy cheerfulness, showing pleasure and gratitude. In short, your brother's need ought to be like your own, or even more important than your own.


The third duty concerns the tongue, which should sometimes be silent and at other times speak out. In short, you should keep silent about any speech unpleasant to your brother in general and in particular - unless obliged to speak out to promote good and prevent evil, and even then only if you can find no valid excuse for saying nothing.

The lowest degree in brotherhood is where you treat your brother as you would wish to be treated yourself, and there is no doubt that he would expect you to veil his shame and keep quiet about his misdeeds and faults. Know that the mainstay of brotherhood is concord in word and deed, and compassion.


The fourth duty is to use the tongue for speaking out. Just as brotherhood calls for silence about unpleasant things, so it requires the utterance of favourable things. You should use the tongue to express affection to your brother, and to enquire agreeably about his circumstances. For brotherhood means participating in joy and sadness.


The fifth duty is forgiveness of mistake and failings. The failing of a friend must be one of two kinds; either in his religion, through the commission of an offence; or in his duty to you, through an omission in brotherhood. In the case of religion, where he commits an offence and persists in it, you must advise him kindly so as to supply his deficiency, put his affairs in order, and restore him to a correct and virtuous state. As for his error in brotherly duty, by which he causes alienation, there is no disagreement on the proper course being forgiveness and patience. Indeed, whenever a good interpretation is possible, or an excuse - whether obvious or far-fetched - can be advanced, this obligatory in the duty of brotherhood.


The sixth duty is to pray for your brother, during his life and after his death, that he may have all he might wish for himself, his family and his dependants.


The seventh duty is loyalty and sincerity. The meaning of loyalty is steadfastness in love and maintaining it to the death with your brother, and after his death with his children and his fellows. For love is for the sake of the Other Life. If it is severed before death the work is in vain and the effort wasted.


The eighth duty is relief from discomfort and inconvenience. You should not discomfort your brother with things that are awkward for him. Rather you should ease his heart of its cares and needs, and spare him having to assume any of your burdens. Such then are the duties of fellowship. Therefore you must bind all your faculties to their service.


These manners of the Outer are only the title page of the Inner and Purity of Heart. When hearts are purified there is no need of formality to display their content. He who looks to the fellowship of creatures will sometimes be crooked and sometimes straight.

But he who looks to the Creator is bound to the Straight Path both inwardly and outwardly. His inner is adorned by love of God and his creatures. His outer is beautified by worship of God and service to His servants, for these are the highest kinds of service to God, since there is no way to them except by good character.

The slave can attain by the goodness of his character to the

degree of the upright keeper of fasts - and beyond.


Imam Al Ghazali..(May Allah be pleased with him)

Biography of the week...!!

Bismillah

MashAllah,

Born and raised in Berkeley, California, Shaykh Abdul-Kareem Yahya, by the Grace of Allah, embraced Islam in 1989 in his home city.

In 1996, having been inspired to study religious knowledge by the books of Imam Ghazali (Allah be pleased with him) and the call for the revival of Islamic knowledge, he traveled with his family to Damascus, Syria where he embarked on a course of active pursuit of knowledge. During his two-year stay in Damascus he focused his attention on the acquisition of an elementary knowledge of the Arabic language and Quranic recitation, studying the latter under the tutelage of the highly respected Shaykh of Qur'an Abu Anas (Allah preserve him) at the Rawda Mosque in Damascus. Thereafter he moved on with his family to Tarim, Hadramaut where he currently resides.

As a student at Dar al-Mustafa he has primarily turned his efforts towards keeping the company of his Shaykhs’ from the noble prophetic descendents of Ba Alawi and their lovers as well as attaining a knowledge of the Islamic Sciences. Specializing in jurisprudence according to the school of Muhammad Bin Idris al-Shafi'i (Allah be pleased with him), Shaykh Abdul-Kareem has studied the curriculum of jurisprudence at Dar al-Mustafa all the way to the Minhaj of Imam Nawawi (Allah be pleased him).

Since 1998, Shaykh Abdul-Kareem has been studying at the hands of Habib Umar and his older brother Habib Mashhour, the two sons of the late Habib Muhammad Bin Salim Bin Hafiz, as well as the other teachers of Dar al-Mustafa in Tarim, Hadramaut.

Shaykh Abdul-Kareem has been given permission to answer questions according to the Shafi'i School as well as to teach jurisprudence, Arabic Grammar, and other disciplines by his Shaykh Habib Umar, Allah preserve him. He has also worked extensively as a translator For Habib Umar Bin Hafiz and Habib Ali Al- jifri (Allah preserve both of them).

Source..(Sunni Path)

Shaykh Abdul-Kareem has a deep love and respect for his teachers, which helps us be more conscious about the greatness of the Prophet's (saaw) family and descendants. All we can say about this wonderful person, can be said by improving and fixing our moral character traits, by striving to do better and acting upon the teachings of those with knowledge we think is the best way to thank and to appreciate his work and his outstanding way of sharing what he has learned which has changed our lives in the best way possible and yet he does not take gratification but rather he expresses his love and admiration towards his teachers.

Has given us the attention although he has but little time, always takes a part of it to share with us. So we thank Allah Most High for putting Shaykh Abdul Kareem in our path.

May Allah (swa) give us tawfiq (enabling grace) , give us stregnth and love for our beloved nabi Muhammad (saaw) and his family, and help us be part of those whom Allah loves....ameen.

Pensando...

Bismillah...
Distante, tanto tiempo, lejos de la luz, la q alumbra sin mancha, sin sombra. Que surge del mas puro y magnífico ser, emanando belleza, radiante.


Como pude, no lo se. Sé que estuve allí, no supe cómo ni cuándo, era ya un hecho!! Debía ser, completar la fase; cual aturdida desconociendo la razón, todo este tiempo y ahí continué hasta que decidiste que era el momento, el momento apropiado para surgir, para continuar, fuí y soy aun; desconozco el seré pero aguardo y pongo mi confianza en Tí y pienso que seré, en aquel lugar maravilloso, esperando, otra vez viviendo mi etapa; la que ahí me acercaría a la última, esa que espero ver, al final. Donde seré por siempre y viviré allí, quiero ser y que sean los míos conmigo y espero porque en tí aguardo y entiendo ahora que eres la razón de mi existir hasta que no exista aquí, continuaré mi existencia contigo hasta el día aquel en que al fin y si Tú quieres, LA FELICIDAD NO TERMINE JAMAS.......!!!!
