Fiqh-us-Sunnah
Fiqh 2.10c
Two rak'at before maghrib
Al-Bukhari records, from 'Abdullah ibn Mughaffal, that the Prophet said: "Pray before maghrib, pray before maghrib," and
after saying it a third time, he said: "For whoever wishes to do so," not wanting the people to take it as a sunnah. Ibn Hibban
records that the Prophet prayed two rak'at before maghrib prayer.
Muslim records that Ibn 'Abbas said: "We would pray two rak'at before maghrib, and the Prophet would see us but he would
not order us to do so, nor would he prohibit us."
Ibn Hajar says in Fath al-Bari: "All of the evidence points to the fact that it is preferred to say these two rak'at quickly like the
two rak'at before the salatul fajr."
PREACHING:
3:104 - Let there arise out of you a band of people inviting to all that is good enjoining what is right
and forbidding what is wrong; they are the ones to attain felicity. 431
431 Muflih, aflaha, falah: the root idea is attainment of desires; happiness, in this world and the next; success; prosperity;
freedom from anxiety, care, or a disturbed state of mind;-the opposite of 'azab in the next verse, which includes:
failure; misery; punishment or penalty; agony or anguish. The ideal Muslim community is happy, untroubled by
conflicts or doubts, sure of itself, strong, united, and prosperous: because it invites to all that is good; enjoins the right;
and forbids the wrong,-a master-stroke of description in three clauses. (3.104)
3:110 - Ye are the best of peoples evolved for mankind enjoining what is right forbidding what is
wrong and believing in Allah. If only the People of the Book had faith it were best for them;
among them are some who have faith but most of them are perverted transgressors. 434
434 The logical conclusion to a Universal Religion is a non-sectarian, non-racial, non-doctrinal, religion, which Islam claims
to be. For Islam is just submission to the Will of Allah. This implies (1) Faith, (2) doing right, being an example to
others to do right, and having the power to see that the right prevails, (3) eschewing wrong, being an example to
others to eschew wrong, and having the power to see that wrong and injustice are defeated. Islam therefore lives, not
for itself, but for mankind. The People of the Book, if only they had faith, would be Muslims, for they have been
prepared for Islam. Unfortunately there is Unfaith, but it can never harm those who carry the banner of Faith and
Right, which must always be victorious. (3.110)
7:164 - When some of them said: "why do ye preach to a people whom Allah will destroy or visit
with a terrible punishment?" Said the preachers: "to discharge our duty to your Lord and
perchance they may fear him." 1138
1138 There are always people who wonder, no doubt sincerely, what good it is to preach to the wicked. The answer is given
to them here: (1) every man who sees evil must speak out against it; it is his duty and responsibility to Allah; (2) there
is always a chance that the warning may have effect and save a precious soul. This passage has a special meaning
for the times when our Holy Prophet was preaching in Makkah, apparently without results. But it applies to all times.
