Q&A: When will the Hijrah take place? | Sheikh Ata’ Abu Rashtah


The Answer to the Question: ‘When will the Hijrah take place?'
to Abu Abdur Rahman At-Tameezy
Question:
As-Salaamu Alaikum Wa Rahmatullah Wa Barakaatuhu,
In this question I am comparing the time when the Prophet (saw) attained the Nusrah and the beginning of the Hijrah by his companions with what is happening today in Ash-Shaam. Hizb ut Tahrir is a political party that treads the path of the Prophet (saw) to establish the Islamic State. And now Hizb ut Tahrir has begun to attain the Nusrah in Syria as we have witnessed that from the Central Media Office of the Hizb.

The question: Why does Hizb ut Tahrir not request its members to make Hijrah to Syria like the Prophet (saw) requested from his followers? Or does the reality differ? Please clarify this issue.

Answer:

Wa Alaikumu Salaam wa Rahmatullahi wa Barakaatuhu,

Yes, indeed the Messenger (saw) did order the Sahaabah (Companions) to make Hijrah to Madinah however this was after the Messenger of Allah (saw) had obtained the Nusrah from the people of Al-Madinah i.e. after the second pledge (Bay'ah) of Al-Aqabah. This is because it was a Bay'ah made upon the ruling where Madinah became Dar ul-Islam Hukman (in its ruling) as the power had been achieved within it for Islam and the Muslims. And it awaited the arrival of the Messenger of Allah (saw) so that it became Dar ul-Islam Fi'lan (in actuality) in which the Islamic rulings were applied...

And when the likes of the second pledge of Al-Aqabah is achieved for us then the time for Hijrah will take place in accordance to the Shari'ah rules.

Your Brother,
Ata Bin Khalil Abu Al-Rashtah

An advice to Muslims working in the financial sector

Assalam wa alaikum wa rahmatullah wabarakatahu, Dear Brothers & Sisters, We are saddened to see Muslims today even those who practise many of the rules of Islam are working in jobs which involve haram in the financial sector. They are working in positions which involve usurious (Riba) transactions, insurance, the stock market and the like. Even though many of the clear evidences regarding the severity of the sin of Riba are known, some have justified their job to themselves thinking that they are safe as long as they are not engaged in the actual action of taking or giving Riba. Brothers & Sisters, You should know that the majority of jobs in the financial sector, even the IT jobs in this area are haram (prohibited) as they involve the processing of prohibited contracts. If you work in this sector, do not justify your job to yourself because of the fear of losing your position or having to change your career, fear Allah as he should be feared and consider His law regard

Q&A: Age of separating children in the beds?

Question: Please explain the hukm regarding separation of children in their beds. At what age is separation an obligation upon the parents? Also can a parent sleep in the same bed as their child? Answer: 1- With regards to separating children in their beds, it is clear that the separation which is obligatory is when they reach the age of 7 and not since their birth. This is due to the hadith reported by Daarqutni and al-Hakim from the Messenger (saw) who said: When your children reach the age of 7 then separate their beds and when they reach 10 beat them if they do not pray their salah.’ This is also due to what has been narrated by al-Bazzar on the authority of Abi Rafi’ with the following wording: ‘We found in a sheet near the Messenger of Allah (saw) when he died on which the following was written: Separate the beds of the slave boys and girls and brothers and sisters of 7 years of age.’ The two hadiths are texts on the separation of children when they reach the age of 7. As for the

Please refer to the original Arabic for exact meanings. Question: What is the Shari’ ruling in singing or listening to songs?  What is the hukm of using musical instruments and is its trade allowed? I request you to answer in detail with the evidences? Answer: The Imams ( Mujtahids ) and the jurists have differed on the issue of singing and they have varying opinions such as haraam (prohibited), Makruh (disliked) and Mubah (permissible), the ones who have prohibited it are from the ones who hold the opinion of prohibition of singing as a trade or profession, and a similar opinion has been transmitted from Imam Shafi’i, and from the ones who disliked it is Ahmad Ibn Hanbal who disliked the issue and categorised its performance under disliked acts, a similar opinion has been tran
