4047 The Day of Judgment is the day of sorting out. Cf. xxxvi. 59. Good and evil will finally be separated, unlike the<br />

apparently inexplicable conditions in the present probationary life, when they seem to be mixed together. (37.21)<br />

44:47 - (A voice will cry:) "Seize ye him and drag him into the midst of the Blazing Fire!<br />

49:2 - O ye who believe! raise not your voices above the voice of the Prophet nor speak aloud to<br />

him in talk as ye may speak aloud to one another lest your deeds become vain and ye<br />

perceive not. 49204921<br />

4920 It is bad manners to talk loudly before your Leader. Some ill-mannered people so raise their voices as to drown the<br />

voice of their Leader, in conversation or in Council. (49.2)<br />

4921 Such rudeness may even destroy the value of such services as they may otherwise have been able to render, and all<br />

this without their even realising the harm they were doing to the Cause. (49.2)<br />

49:3 - Those that lower their voice in the presence of Allah's Apostle their hearts has Allah tested<br />

for piety: for them is Forgiveness and a great Reward. 4922<br />

4922 The essence of good manners arises from the heart. The man who really and sincerely respects his Leader has true<br />

piety in his heart, just as the man who does the opposite may undo the work of years by weakening the Leader's<br />

authority. (49.3)<br />

49:4 - Those who shout out to thee from without the Inner Apartments most of them lack<br />

understanding. 4923<br />

4923 To shout aloud to your Leader from outside his Apartments shows disrespect both for his person, his time, and his<br />

engagements. Only ignorant fools would be guilty of such unseemly behaviour. It is more seemly for them to wait and<br />

bide their time until he is free to come out and attend to them. But, with the Messenger of Allah, much is forgiven that<br />

is due to lack of knowledge and understanding. In an earthly Court, ignorance of the Law excuseth no man. If a man<br />

behaved in that way to the General of an army or the Governor of a Province, not to speak of an earthly King, he<br />

would be laid hands on by the Guard, and could never gain the access he desires. (49.4)<br />

Fiqh-us-Sunnah<br />

Fiqh 1.145a<br />

Sunnah acts of prayer, It is best to be moderate in one's recital<br />

One night, the Prophet, upon whom be peace, passed by Abu Bakr when he was praying in a very low voice, and he passed<br />

by 'Umar who was praying with his voice raised. (Later), when they were together with him, he said, "O Abu Bakr, I passed by<br />

you and you were praying in a very low voice." He said, "O Messenger of Allah, the one who I was praying to could hear me."<br />

And he said to 'Umar, "O 'Umar, I passed by you and you were praying with a raised voice." He said, "O Messenger of Allah,<br />

this was to stop the drowsiness and to drive away Satan." The Prophet, upon whom be peace, said, "O Abu Bakr, raise your<br />

voice somewhat. And 'Umar, lower your voice somewhat." (Related by Abu Dawud and Ahmad.) If one forgets and recites<br />

aloud when he should be silent or vice-versa, there is no blame upon him. If one recalls the correction while he is doing the<br />

mistaken act, he may change to the correct way.<br />

Sunan of Abu-Dawood<br />

Hadith 1324<br />

AbuQatadah<br />

Narrated by<br />

The Prophet (peace be upon him) went out at night and found AbuBakr praying in a low voice, and he passed Umar ibn al-<br />

Khattab who was raising his voice while praying. When they both met the Prophet (peace be upon him) together, the Prophet<br />

(peace be upon him) said: I passed by you, AbuBakr, when you were praying in a low voice. He replied: I made Him hear<br />

with Whom I was holding intimate converse, Apostle of Allah. He (the Prophet) said to Umar: I passed by you when you were<br />

praying in a loud voice. He replied: Apostle of Allah, I was awakening the drowsy and driving away the Devil. Al-Hasan<br />

added in his version: The Prophet (peace be upon him) said: Raise your voice a little, AbuBakr, and he said to Umar: Lower<br />

your voice a little.<br />

Fiqh-us-Sunnah<br />

Fiqh 4.56a<br />

Recite or raise one's voice or any similar activity. Ibn Al-Mundhir related that Qais ibn 'Abbad said: "The Companions of the<br />

Prophet, peace be upon him, disliked raising one's voice on three occasions, namely, funeral processions, when<br />

remembering Allah, and on the battlefield."<br />
