Sallaam Bin Abee Mutee (rahimahullaah) said: Saeed Bin Iyyaas Al-Jurooree (rahimahullaah) who was from the Mashaayikh of Basra came to us after returning from hajj. So he started saying: Allaah gave us such and such good on our journey! Allaah gave us such and such on our journey! Then he said: it used to be said that counting the blessings (Allaah has given you) is a sign of gratefulness.

Question:
The questioner asks: What is Sakeenah (tranquillity) and how does it descend upon the believers?
Answer:
Sakeenah (tranquillity) is the calmness, relaxation and happiness a person feels inside his heart, and from the means of (experiencing) this Sakeenah and happiness in the heart is when one is constant in the remembrance of Allaah. Allaah (Glorified be He and free is He from all imperfections) said:
الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا وَتَطْمَئِنُّ قُلُوبُهُم بِذِكْرِ اللَّهِ ۗ أَلَا بِذِكْرِ اللَّهِ تَطْمَئِنُّ الْقُلُوبُ
Those who believe (in the Oneness of Allah – Islamic Monotheism), and whose hearts find rest in the remembrance of Allah, Verily, in the remembrance of Allah do hearts find rest. [13:28]
Ibnul Jawzi (rahimahullaah) said that two statements have been mentioned regarding the word Dhikr; one of them is that Dhikr means the Qur’aan and the second statement is that it means the remembrance of Allaah in general.
And with regards to the meaning of Tu’maneenah (repose or rest) there are two statements: The first one is that it is love of Allah and being completely at ease in His presence. The second meaning is that it is complete submission to Him without harbouring any doubts as opposed to those whose hearts are filled with disgust when Allaah is mentioned.
In summary: Constant remembrance of Allaah (through recitation of) the Qur’aan; remembering Him by uttering Subhaanallaah, Alhamdulil laah, Allaahu Akbar and thanking Him, sending the salaah and salaam upon His Prophet [Muhammad (sallal-laahu-alayhi-wasallam)], constantly repenting to Allaah and seeking His Forgiveness- all these deeds bring about Sakeenah (tranquility) in the heart of the believer. And Allaah knows best.

Question:
The female questioner asks: Who are the people of Allaah and those closest to Him, and how can a person be from them as occurs in the hadeeth of the Messenger ( sallal-laahu-alayhi-wasallam)?
Answer:
The hadeeth was transmitted from Anas Ibn Maalik (radiyallaahu-anhu) by Imaam Ahmad (rahimahullaah) and Imaam Ibn Maajah (rahimahullaah) and it is an authentic hadeeth. The Messenger (sallal-laahu-alayhi-wasallam) said: Allaah has His own people among mankind.” They said: “O Messenger of Allah! Who are they? He said: The people of the Qur’aan, the people of Allaah and those are closest to Him. [Sunan Ibn Maajah Hadeeth Number 215 and Musnad Ahmad hadeeth number 11870. And declared Saheeh by Imaam Albaani (rahimahullaah)]
The people of the Qur’aan are those who recite the Book of Allaah (i.e. the Qur’aan); act upon it and implement it in their lives. They fulfill what Allaah has commanded in it (i.e. the Qur’aan) and keep away from what it He has forbidden. These are Allaah’s people and His Awliyaa (close friends). They are the pious believers who fear Allaah, just as Allaah (The Most High) stated: 10:63
أَلَا إِنَّ أَوْلِيَاءَ اللَّهِ لَا خَوْفٌ عَلَيْهِمْ وَلَا هُمْ يَحْزَنُونَ
الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا وَكَانُوا يَتَّقُونَ
No doubt! Verily, the Auliya’ of Allah [i.e. those who believe in the Oneness of Allah and fear Allah much (abstain from all kinds of sins and evil deeds which he has forbidden), and love Allah much (perform all kinds of good deeds which He has ordained)], no fear shall come upon them nor shall they grieve, -Those who believed (in the Oneness of Allah – Islamic Monotheism), and used to fear Allah much (by abstaining from evil deeds and sins and by doing righteous deeds). [10:62-63]
We ask Allaah to include us amongst the people of the Qur’aan and those closest to Him.

Question:
The questioner asks: If a person holds the Mushaf to read but then he gets preoccupied with another affair; so he returns after a while to (continue) reading. Is there anything (wrong) with that?
Answer:
There is nothing (wrong) with that because this (deed) is a supererogation act of worship. The performer of a supererogation act of worship is rewarded, but he (or she) is sinful if he (or she) abandons it. Hopefully, the one who has asked this question will be rewarded (in-shaa-Allaah) because he was determined to carry out an act of worship with this intention (i.e. to recite the Qur’aan). Abu Hurairah (radiyallaahu-anhu) reported that the Messenger of Allaah (sallal-laahu-alayhi-wasallam) said:
Whoever thinks of doing a good deed then does not do it, Allah will write it down as one complete good deed. If he thinks of doing a good deed and then does it, Allah [may He be glorified and exalted] will write it down between ten and seven hundred fold, or many more. If he thinks of doing a bad deed then he does not do it, Allah will write it down as one complete good deed, and if he thinks of it then does it, Allah will write it down as one bad deed.[Saheeh Muslim 131]

Question:
Does a person become sinful due to failing to fulfill acts of obedience (to Allaah)? And what is obligated on a person if he (or she) misses an act of worship which he (or she) is determined to perform, even though he (or she) was prevented from performing it due to illness or a legislated excuse?
Answer:
If a Muslim always performs an act of obedience to Allaah when he (or her) is at home, but then he is prevented from performing that act (of obedience) due to a legislated excuse, he (or she) will be rewarded even if he (or her) did not perform it. And this is due to the hadeeth reported by Abu Moosaa (radiyallaahu-anhu) that Messenger said: If a slave of (Allah) becomes sick or travels, he (or she) is rewarded for the good deeds he (or she) used to perform when he (or she) was healthy or at home.
As for the acts of obedience he (or she) abandons whilst having the ability to perform them, he (or she) will be deprived of their reward. And this may lead to sin and acts of disobedience (i.e. if obligations are abandoned). Therefore, it is incumbent upon a person that he (or she) repents to Allaah, seeks Allaah’s forgiveness often and be eager to perform acts of obedience to Allaah, so that Allaah may aid him (or her).

Question:
What is the ruling with regards to taking out time at work whether that is little or a lot, and also the ruling with regards to using the work telephone (for personal use)?
Answer:
You are entrusted with the work you do and Allaah (Glorified Be He and free is He from all imperfections) stated:
يَا أَيُّهَا الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا لَا تَخُونُوا اللَّهَ وَالرَّسُولَ وَتَخُونُوا أَمَانَاتِكُمْ وَأَنتُمْ تَعْلَمُونَ
O you who believe! Betray not Allah and His Messenger, nor betray knowingly your Amanat (things entrusted to you, and all the duties which Allah has ordained for you). [8:27]
It is betrayal to take from that which you are entrusted (without permission), even if your boss excuses you. That is because maybe he is not the one in charge of this (i.e. he is not the one with the authority to excuse you). But if he is the one in charge and gives you permission (to take time out), there is no harm in taking it.
As for the work telephone or other things, it is better to refrain from using them out fear of falling into some unlawful. However, if (using the office phone for personal use) is something known amongst everyone in the office (i.e. known to both employer and employees) and no one says anything about it (i.e. objects), there is no harm using it InshaaAllaah.

Question:
May Allah be good to you, this questioner says: Assalaamu akaykum wa rahmatullaahi wa barakaatuhu, some callers put forward a principle, they say that indeed it (brings about) unity: “We unite upon that which we agree and pardon each other in that which we disagree in.”
Answer:
If this agreement is (already) in Aqeedah, then yes (we can excuse each other in other issues besides Aqeedah) as differing may occur in the subsidiary issues. The Mujtahid’s (ijtihaad) is taken when he’s correct and (the ijtihad) is abandoned if he opposes what is correct. So if there is agreement on the Aqeedah and the differing is only in Fiqh and subsidiary issues then (this affair is looked at from another) an angle. [1]
However if this differing is in Aqeedah, then upon what can we agree?! We cannot agree on anything. This is what they want apparently (i.e. excuse one another in Aqeedah issues) and this is not permissible. [2]

Question:
The questioner says: I work as an accountant in one of the companies and I have a lot of free time during which I read the Qur’aan and listen to the Noble Qur’aan Broadcast. However, when my boss arrives I close the Mushaf. So what is the ruling on this action (of mine)? Benefit us with an answer and may Allaah reward you.
Answer:
If it is the case that you have carried out your work perfectly and fulfil everything your boss requires of you without delay, then it is permissible for you to read the Qur’aan and beneficial books, and listen to the Noble Qur’aan Broadcast in your free time. Rather benefitting from this (free) time in such activities is better than wasting it in that which does not benefit.

Shaikh Rabee Bin Haadi (may Allaah preserve him) said:
Allaah (The Most High) said:
لَقَدْ مَنَّ اللَّهُ عَلَى الْمُؤْمِنِينَ إِذْ بَعَثَ فِيهِمْ رَسُولًا مِّنْ أَنفُسِهِمْ يَتْلُو عَلَيْهِمْ آيَاتِهِ وَيُزَكِّيهِمْ وَيُعَلِّمُهُمُ الْكِتَابَ وَالْحِكْمَةَ وَإِن كَانُوا مِن قَبْلُ لَفِي ضَلَالٍ مُّبِينٍ
Indeed Allah conferred a great favour on the believers when He sent among them a Messenger (Muhammad) from among themselves, reciting unto them His Verses (the Qur’an), and purifying them (from sins by their following him), and instructing them (in) the Book (the Qur’an) and Al-Hikmah [the wisdom and the Sunnah of the Prophet (i.e. his legal ways, statements, acts of worship, etc.)], while before that they had been in manifest error. [3:164]
The Ayah is a proof that indeed the Messenger (sallal-laahu-alayhi-wasallam) is from the believers.
[1] The Mufassiroon said: The intended meaning of مِّنْ أَنفُسِهِمْ – Among them’ is that he is indeed from the Arabs.
[2] Other (Mufassiroon) said: The intended meaning of (this ayah) is that he [i.e. the Messenger (sallal-laahu-alahi-wasallam)] is a human being.
In the first explanation of the above Ayah, the great favour conferred on them is that they understand the Messenger and he understands them, and they do not require a translator. In the second explanation of the above Ayah, the great favour conferred on them is that they socialize with him just as humans socialize with one another.
