Fiqh-us-Sunnah<br />

Fiqh 2.140<br />

It is preferred to raise one's voice, to keep the khutbah short, and to the point<br />

Ammar ibn Yasir reports that he heard the Messenger of Allah say: "Prolonging salah and shortening one's<br />

khutbah is a sign of one's understanding of the religion. So, prolong the prayer and shorten the khutbah."<br />

This is related by Ahmad and Muslim. Shortening the khutbah and prolonging one's salah shows one's<br />

understanding of religion, for such a person is able to comprehend and express much in a few words.<br />

Fiqh-us-Sunnah<br />

Fiqh 4.101a<br />

Etiquette of Dhikr<br />

The purpose of dhikr is to purify hearts and souls and awaken the human conscience.<br />

"And do bring your Lord to remembrance in your very soul, with humility and in reverence, without loudness in words, in the<br />

mornings and evening, and be not of those who are unheedful.'' Qur'an 7.205<br />

This verse indicates that doing dhikr in silence and without raising one's voice is better. Once during a journey the Prophet,<br />

peace be upon him, heard a group of Muslims supplicating aloud. Thereupon the Prophet, peace be upon him, said, "Give<br />

yourselves a respite, you are not calling upon someone deaf or absent. Surely He Whom you are calling upon is near<br />

you and He listens to all. He is nearer to you than the neck of your mount." This hadith underlines the love and awe<br />

a person should feel while engaged in dhikr<br />

A part of this etiquette is the requirement that a person wishing to do dhikr be clean in body and dress, and smell sweet and<br />

fragrant. This will give him a fresh zeal and he will feel invigorated. One should face the qiblah during dhikr, for the best<br />

assemblies are those that face the Ka'bah.<br />

Sahih Muslim Hadith<br />

Hadith 6418 Narrated by<br />

Abdullah ibn Amr ibn al-'As<br />

Abdullah heard Allah's Apostle (peace be upon him) as saying: Verily, the hearts of all the sons of Adam are between the two<br />

fingers out of the fingers of the Compassionate Lord as one heart. He turns that to any (direction) He likes. Then Allah's<br />

Apostle (peace be upon him) said: O Allah, the Turner of the hearts, turn our hearts to Thine obedience.<br />

Al-Tirmidhi Hadith<br />

Hadith 5323 Narrated by<br />

AbuHurayrah<br />

Allah's Messenger (peace be upon him) said, "In the last times men will come forth who will fraudulently use religion for<br />

worldly ends and wear sheepskins in public to display meekness. Their tongues will be sweeter than sugar, but their hearts<br />

will be the hearts of wolves. Allah will say, 'Are they trying to deceive me, or are they acting presumptuously towards me? I<br />

swear by myself that I shall send trial upon those people which will leave the intelligent man among them confounded.'"<br />

Fiqh 3.63b<br />

Reconcilation of hearts:<br />

This applies primarily to that group of people whose hearts, due to their weak Islam, need to be reconciled<br />

or strengthened for Islam. In this case, zakah is distributed to rid Muslims of their evil, or to procure their<br />

assistance in the defense of Muslims. The jurists divide such people into Muslims and unbelievers. The<br />

Muslims are divided into four groups:<br />
