Best of you

40. "The most beloved of people according to Allah is he who brings most benefit, and the most beloved of deeds according to Allah the Mighty, the Magnificent, is that you bring happiness to a fellow Muslim, or relieve him of distress, or pay off his debt or stave away hunger from him. It is more beloved to me that I walk with my brother Muslim in his time of need than I stay secluded in the mosque for a month. Whoever holds back his anger, Allah will cover his faults and whoever suppresses his fury while being able to execute it, Allah will fill his heart with satisfaction on the Day of Standing. Whoever walks with his brother Muslim in need until he establishes that for him, Allah will establish his feet firmly on the day when all feet shall slip. Indeed, bad character ruins deeds just as vinegar ruins honey." [Tabarâni, Hasan]

Quotes to remember

11. It was narrated that Abu Hanifa said to Dawud al-Taa’i, “Why do you prefer seclusion?” Dawud replied, “To struggle against myself to leave disputing.” Abu Hanifah said, “Attend meetings, listen to what is said, and remain silent.” Dawud said, “I have done so, but I have found nothing heavier than this.”

Salafs sayings

The Ruling on delaying the Prayer due to Sleep

Question:

I am a young girl who often misses the Maghrib prayer due to sleep, then I make it up in the morning or at a later time. What is the ruling on this?
Answer:

The ruling is that it is not permissible for anyone to be so careless in prayer that the time for it ends. If a person was sleeping, he can charge someone with the responsibility of waking him so that he may pray, and he must do so. So it is incumbent on this young girl to encourage one of her family members to wake her. But if she is forced by circumstance, because of her sleep is very deep, and she has prayed the Maghrib prayer, but fears that she will be overcome by sleep before Isha and be unable to pray it before Fajr time, there is no sin upon her if she performs the Maghrib and Isha prayers together so that she does not miss praying the Isha prayer at its stated time. This would only be allowed due to some exceptional circumstances, such as if she had stayed awake for a number of nights, or she was afflicted by illness etc.
