What should you do when you arrive late to the prayer while the Imaam is in Tashahhud?

 In the name of Allah the Most Gracious the Most Merciful

What should you do when you arrive late to the prayer while the Imaam is in Tashahhud?

By Shaykh Muhammad bin Saalih al-’Uthaymeen may Allah have mercy on him 

Question: What is the correctness of the statement of one who says that when you enter the masjid (late for salah) with a jamaa’ah while the imaam is in the position of the last Tashahhud that you should wait until he makes tasleem then begin a new congregation? 

Answer: This is correct and its evidence is the statement of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him),

من أدرك ركعة من الصلاة فقد أدرك الصلاة 

“Whoever catches a unit (before rising from rukoo’) of prayer then he has caught the prayer.” [Narrated by Abu Hurayrah and collected by Nisaa’ee and others]

In this instance (as mentioned in the question) the person has not caught a unit of prayer and arrived at the time of the last tashahhud. Since he did not catch a unit then he has not caught the prayer.

Now, if he were to pray with his companions – who entered along with him – then they should begin the prayer. As for if they came and the imaam was still in the unit (before rising from rukoo’) then it is better to enter the prayer with the imaam. Rather, it is obligatory to enter along with the imaam, even if he missed most of the prayer.

That is because of the hadith, “Whoever catches a unit from the prayer then he has caught the prayer.”

If you enter the masjid and the imaam is in the last tashahhud, then it is not a condition for you to wait for him to make tasleem. Rather, if the masjid is wide and you go to a side of the masjid without causing confusion to others, then you can begin praying before the imaam makes tasleem. There is nothing wrong with that. As for if you came and the masjid is small, then do not commence the prayer until the imaam has made tasleem.

Using Social Media is Causing Anxiety, Stress and Depression

Using Social Media is Causing Anxiety, Stress and Depression

The idea that social media can be dangerous is not new. I think on some level we all know that it can cause us stress and anxiety.

We fret about how we look in pictures and how our comments sound. We worry that other people are having more fun and doing more things. We wish our last picture got more likes.

But we continue to consume it all day, every day, because in the end, we assume that the dangers are overblown. We assume that social media is mostly harmless.

Meet Madison Holleran

A freshman at the University of Pennsylvania and a star athlete, she was intelligent and talented and successful. Everyone she knew said she was happy.

But in her very first semester away from home she started to feel anxious and depressed. With her best friend she would scroll through Instagram and think, “This is what college is supposed to be like; this is what we want our life to be like,” ESPN reported.

In January of 2014 Madison killed herself. Since then ESPN has investigated the role social media played in her death and in aggravating her anxiety and depression.

That’s Just One Story

Of course, there are millions of other college students just like Madison. Anxiety is now the number one mental health problem on campuses across the country, and therapists are becoming increasingly concerned about social media making things worse.

Cyberbullying and harassment, comparing their lives to classmates, fearing they’re missing out – social media contributes to anxiety and depression in all sorts of different ways. And the more we consume, the more problems it can cause.

It’s Not Just College Students That Need to Worry

Yet the dangers go far beyond college classrooms. These days everyone is consuming social media, from 13 to 93-year-olds. No one is immune. Here are some of the biggest concerns researchers have found so far:

1. Time spent on social media is correlated with depression

Researchers have found that the longer you spend on social media, the more likely you are to be depressed. Other surveys have found that using Facebook and Twitter less helps students to be more focused and less stressed. We can debate the reasons why there is a correlation, it could be that people who are already depressed are likely to spend more time on social media. But the correlation is still troubling, especially when you read a story like Madison’s.

2. Social media is incredibly addictive

Once you get on Facebook, it’s hard to stop. Most Americans check it once a day, if not multiple times. Likes and comments can serve as positive reinforcement, making it even more difficult to stop. Some researchers have even created a scale called The Bergen Facebook Addiction Scale to measure this behaviour.

3. It can make you unhappy, unsatisfied, and restless

A study out of the University of Michigan has found that people who use Facebook more, are more likely to be unhappy than people who use it less. Similarly, those avid users also said they were less satisfied with their lives overall.

This could be because people often compare their real lives to idealized versions of their friends’ lives online. People post a lot of smiling pictures and not so many sad ones.

A different study out of the UK found that two-thirds of people now have trouble relaxing when they can’t access their social media accounts. This is especially troubling because it means that Facebook and Twitter are affecting people even when they’re offline.

In the end, there’s no doubt that there are a lot of benefits to social media. You get to share happy memories and photos and stories. You have access to all kinds of information and recipes. It really is amazing.

Just don’t forget that there are also very real dangers to social media. Ones that we are all too willing to ignore at times.

Stabbed in the head with an iron needle

It was narrated that Ma’qil ibn Yassaar said: the Messenger of Allaah (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said:

“For one of you to be stabbed in the head with an iron needle is better for him than that he should touch a woman who is not permissible for him.”

Narrated by al-Tabaraani in al-Kabeer, 486. Shaykh al-Albaani said in Saheeh al-Jaami’, 5045, that this hadeeth is saheeh.

Expiation for Breaking the Oaths

Expiation for Breaking the Oaths

Allah said, ﴿وَلَـكِن يُؤَاخِذُكُم بِمَا عَقَّدتُّمُ الاٌّيْمَـنَ﴾ (but He will punish you for your deliberate oaths.) in reference to the oaths that you intend in your hearts, ﴿فَكَفَّارَتُهُ إِطْعَامُ عَشَرَةِ مَسَـكِينَ﴾ (for its expiation (a deliberate oath) feed ten poor,), who are needy, not able to find necessities of the life. Allah's statement, ﴿مِنْ أَوْسَطِ مَا تُطْعِمُونَ أَهْلِيكُمْ﴾ (on a scale of the Awsat of that with which you feed your own families;) means, "On the average scale of what you feed your families,'' according to Ibn `Abbas, Sa`id bin Jubayr and `Ikrimah. `Ata' Al-Khurasani commented on the Ayah, "From the best of what you feed your families''. Allah's statement, ﴿أَوْ كِسْوَتُهُمْ﴾ (or clothe them,) refers to clothing each of the ten persons with what is suitable to pray in, whether the poor person was male or female. Allah knows best. Al-`Awfi said that Ibn `Abbas said that the Ayah means a robe or garment for each poor person (of the ten). Mujahid also said that the least of clothing, referred to in the Ayah, is a garment, and the most is whatever you wish. Al-Hasan, Abu Ja`far Al-Baqir, `Ata', Tawus, Ibrahim An-Nakha`i, Hammad bin Abi Sulayman and Abu Malik said that it means (giving each of the ten poor persons) a garment each. Allah's statement, ﴿أَوْ تَحْرِيرُ رَقَبَةٍ﴾ (or free a slave) refers to freeing a believing slave. In the Muwatta' of Malik, the Musnad of Ash-Shafi`i and the Sahih of Muslim, a lengthy Hadith was recorded that `Umar bin Al-Hakam As-Sulami said that he once had to free a slave (as atonement) and he brought a black slave girl before the Messenger of Allah , who asked her; «أَيْنَ اللهُ؟» (Where is Allah) She said, "Above the heavens.'' He said, «مَنْ أَنَا؟» (Who am I) She said, "The Messenger of Allah.'' He said, «أَعْتِقْهَا فَإِنَّهَا مُؤْمِنَة» (Free her, for she is a believer.) There are three types of expiation for breaking deliberate oaths, and whichever one chooses, it will suffice, according to the consensus (of the scholars). Allah mentioned the easiest, then the more difficult options, since feeding is easier than giving away clothes, and giving away clothes is easier than freeing a slave. If one is unable to fulfill any of these options, then he fasts for three days for expiation, just as Allah said, ﴿فَمَن لَّمْ يَجِدْ فَصِيَامُ ثَلَـثَةِ أَيَّامٍ﴾ (But whosoever cannot afford (that), then he should fast for three days.) Ubayy bin Ka`b and Ibn Mas`ud and his students read this Ayah as follows, "Then he should fast three consecutive days.'' Even if this statement was not narrated to us as a part of the Qur'an through Mutawatir narration, it would still be an explanation of the Qur'an by the Companions that has the ruling of being related from the Prophet . Allah's statement, ﴿ذلِكَ كَفَّارَةُ أَيْمَـنِكُمْ إِذَا حَلَفْتُمْ﴾ (That is the expiation for the oaths when you have sworn.)﴿5:89﴾ means, this is the legal way to atone for deliberate oaths, ﴿وَاحْفَظُواْ أَيْمَـنَكُمْ﴾ (And protect your oaths.) Do not leave your broken oaths without paying the expiation for them, according to the meaning given by Ibn Jarir. ﴿كَذَلِكَ يُبَيِّنُ اللَّهُ لَكُمْ آيَـتِهِ﴾ (Thus Allah makes clear to you His Ayat) and explains them to you, ﴿لَعَلَّكُمْ تَشْكُرُونَ﴾ (that you may be grateful.) http://www.qtafsir.com/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=744&Itemid=60
