Sa'eed bin Jubayr (Allah have mercy on him)[1]
used to use the time before Isha prayers to rest during Ramadhan. Then he used
to stand the length of the night.
Musannaf Ibn Abee Shaybah, 7199
[1] He
heard from Aisha, Abu Hurayrah, Ibn Abbas and others from the Companions (Allah
be pleased with them all). Ibn Abbas appointed him to give Fatwa whilst in the
Companions were still alive.
Aisha (may Allah Pleased with her) said:
If I knew it was Laylah al-Qadr, I would supplicate to Allah within it for security (العفاية).
Musannaf Ibn Abee Shaybah, 31148
In origin, when a Muslim meets another Muslim, they should greet them with Salaam. This applies to the Masjid or anywhere else they meet.
However, the Masjid has a specific ruling. It is not permitted for a Muslim to raise his/her voice in the Masjid, irrespective of whether they are reciting the Quran or greeting with Salam.Some people - Allah Guide them - when they enter the Masjid they enter with clamour. They might enter the Masjid whilst remembering in a loud voice or enter whilst giving Salam in a loud voice whilst people are busy in worshipping Allah; reciting the Quran, making Dhikr or whilst others are praying.
There is no doubt that entering the Masjid in this manner and greeting people with a loud voice or perhaps remembering Allah in a loud voice and creating clamour as they enter the masjid - is a mistake.
The Prophet (Peace and Blessings of Allaah be upon him) forbade the Companions from raising their voices over one another when they were reciting the Quran.
Once he entered into the Masjid and he found them reciting the Quran and they were competing with one another in making their voices louder against one another. So he said, "Each one of you are conversing with their Lord, so do not compete with one another in raising your voices whilst reciting the Quran." Narrated by Abu Dawood, 1332; classed as saheeh by al-Albaani in Saheeh Abi Dawood, 1183.
This is a command from the Prophet, not to raise thier voices when reciting the Quran so how about a person who enters into the Masjid whilst greeting people?
So the Muslim when he enters into the Masjid, he should make his way to the row and there is no harm in him greeting another person that he meets that is close to him, greeting them in a normal voice. As for entering into the Masjid and greeting everyone in a loud voice, then this is not allowed and it is not befitting.
Madhabs (opinions) on The Speech of Allah (the Most High)
1-some said it is created, separate from Allah (the Most High)
2-some said it is uncreated, but part of Allah but we have the meaning from Him
3-His words are part of the Dhat (essence) of Allah (the Most High) but He said them in eternity (Azal). This means, He (the Most High) didn't say them when it was revealed - there is no Hadath for Him. Each letter is not seperate from the other.
4-uncreated from the Dhat of Allah
-His speech is from His Attributes, from His Essence, uncreated. He speaks whenever He wants in a manner that befits His Majesty.
-Making speech created is liked Wajdah
al-Wujood, no difference between creator and creator and all speech is created
and one with creation.
-If his speech is created then who
sent the message?
-If His speech is created then all
words, of animals and humans, is the Kalam of Allah
Belief of the early "creatists"
-The Mu’tazilah say his Names and
Attributes are separate from Him, He created them and placed it into seperate
entities.
Response:
-This is worse than those who said
Allah is three
-Difference between the one who
creates and commands and those created and commanded
-The Amr comes after Khalq

This
book was authored by the Shaykh long before the advent of Islamic mortgages
that currently exist in the West. Therefore, this book is not a description on
how to buy an Islamically compliant asset whilst living in the West, rather it
is a book which extracts from the books of Fiqh on the many ways that the
scholars have stated are permissible for us to acquire an asset.
Therefore,
this book is not an attempt to clarify, or even rectify the current and ever
changing Islamic finance modules that exist, rather it is to illustrate the various
types of transactions which are Islamically valid.
The
Shaykh gives ten types of Islamically valid purchases; their rulings, their forms
and as an added benefit, which could hopefully add advice to the would-be
investor/purchaser, the Shaykh lists a number of advantage and disadvantages to
each type of trade.
Please
note, all of these can be applied to the purchase of any item, be it a house, a
car or otherwise.
We
ask Allah to make this beneficial and that Allah, the Most High, Rewards the
Shaykh for his efforts, and that He Alleviates the pressures off the Muslim
Ummah, and that He Blesses them with whatever He Grants them.

Member of the Committee of Senior Scholars
Beware of repelling extremism affiliated with religion with extremism that eradicates religion. A corrupt medicine only increases the disease.
The who doesn’t know what is falsehood will not recognize the truth. And if a weapon is in the hands of someone who doesn’t know, he will [undoubtedly] attack his ally, rather it could even kill the one holding it.

Notes
from
THE BOOK
بسم الله
الرحمن الرحيم
Abu Shamir asked him two questions because they became
issues doubt that the people of Hawraa were spreading:
1-We can not donate (or financially) support the rulers, such
act of Zakat or charity will not be accepted
2-We are not allowed to make Isigthfar or Dua for them
He replied (after rebuking Abu Shamir for maturing in
knowledge but then listening to the people of misguidance):
-Whoever is a Muslim, we must accept such and base our
relationship with them with what is apparent
-It is not permitted for a
person to bare witness to the Kufr of a person when they themselves have bore
witness to the oneness of Allah
-In these deviated ideas, they follow the woman who entered
the fire who prevented Sadaqah to a cat (al-Bukhari and Muslim), so how about
preventing and blocking Sadaqah and aid to those who bare witness to the
Oneness of Allah and worship Him alone?!
-The people punished on the Day of Judgement are those who didn’t
spend and prevented such, based on the Statement:
وَيُطْعِمُونَ الطَّعَامَ عَلَى حُبِّهِ
مِسْكِينًا وَيَتِيمًا وَأَسِيرًا
إِنَّمَا نُطْعِمُكُمْ لِوَجْهِ اللَّهِ
لا نُرِيدُ مِنكُمْ جَزَاء وَلا شُكُورًا
إِنَّا نَخَافُ مِن رَّبِّنَا يَوْمًا
عَبُوسًا قَمْطَرِيرًا
“And they give food, inspite of their love
for it (or for the love of Him), to Miskin (poor),
the orphan, and the captive,
(Saying): “We feed you seeking Allah’s Countenance only.
We wish for no reward, nor thanks from you.
Verily,
We fear from our Lord a Day, hard and distressful, that will make the faces
look horrible (from extreme dislikeness to it).”
Al-Insaan

His advice:
O Dhu Khawlaan (Abu Shamir), I have met people from the core
of Islam. I swear by Allah, the Kwharij never existed except that Allah
dispersed them because of the evil they brought. There is no one who has the
views of the Khwarij except that Allah struck him at his neck (silenced and
punished him). The Ummah has never found peace and unity under a person with
such extreme views. If Allah allows the Khwarij to establish themselves, they
will corrupt the earth. They will block paths to goodness. They will prevent
the Hajj from being established. They will return Islam back to Jahiliyyah…They
will fight one another to be the ruler, each candidate having people that
supports him until they declare one another as disbelievers (to support their
politics). The believer will then become unstable and in a state of fear about
his life, his religion, his family and his possession. He will not know where
to turn or who to be with.
However, Allah decrees based on His Decree, His Knowledge
and His Mercy. He looks at this Ummah with the looking of goodness towards
them. He Creates love to in their hearts towards one another and (out of His
Kindness) no such love is placed in the hearts of the believers towards a
Khwariji. End quote.
Final advice:
-“Stick to the People of Tawhid and the People of the
Qiblah”, follow the Shariah and the Sunnah.
-Follow the Book and the Prophets (Peace be Upon them all)
mentioned in the book. Look what Esaa bin Maryam (Peace be Upon him) said and
follow his precedence:
إِن تُعَذِّبْهُمْ فَإِنَّهُمْ عِبَادُكَ
وَإِن تَغْفِرْ لَهُمْ فَإِنَّكَ أَنتَ الْعَزِيزُ الْحَكِيمُ
“If You punish them,
they are Your slaves, and if You forgive them, verily You, only You are the
All-Mighty, the All-Wise .”
Al-Maidah
5: 118
If you were to turn away from this, then which Book will guide you and
which Prophet would you follow?
Abu Shamir said in closing, “I bear witness that I have left
my views of the Harooriyyah (the Khwarij) and I have accepted everything you
have said.”
And Allah Knows best.
May Allah’s Peace and Blessings be upon our Messenger.
