***WORDLY BENEFITS OF FAJR SALAT***
By: Mufti Ismail Menk

So let’s from a purely worldly aspect, how does salat bless? Does salat bless you from a worldly aspect, now if you go to the worldly benefit salah is spaced out in such a beautiful way, such beautiful way... one early in the morning just before the sun rises so you’re up as a Muslim you are up, the non-muslim doctors tell you ,early to bed, early to rise makes a man healthy, wealthy and wise and that’s an english saying. So we are taught early to bed and early to rise is your duty as a Muslim. Allah automatically wants to make you heathy, wealthy and wise Subhaanallah for free. If you are going to live islam what time will you get up? Can you be a person who ,wakes up at 11:00 in the morning when everybody else at work No... if you are Muslim, one of the Blessing of salah is, you are up on time. when you are up on time, you get your children up on time Ma sha Allah, you read your fajr prayer, you might sit for a while with your Quran, you might say a few good words to your family members, and then you probably will have breakfast together, something light, your tea whatever you have together. Today the world is weeping and crying because families are disintegrating, everyone is on his own computer, locked in his own room, no one talks with each other. Father goes to work early morning, mothers gone somewhere else, children go to school and you know the house is now split. You’re a muslim, you get up early Ma sha Allah you spend the beginning of the day with Allah and then with your family, you’ve had the cup of tea even if it took five minutes, the blessing of salah(praying) is you will see your children, how are you my darling, how are you doing my little boy, my little daughter..i really love you, today you are going to make dua for me. let me make dua for you. This is a beautiful environment in a muslim home which is lost in a lot of homes, its lost... our children are brought up by the television and the computer, because we dont have time for them, one meal with your child is priceless ..
People really are suffering because they dont spend time with their children, so the children dont know whats happening in the world but you get up in the morning in sha Allah one of the blessings of salah,
 you will see your children off whether they go to school or whatever happens..

Arabic Pronouns (dhameer)

-
Image
The chart above shows the pronouns of the Arabic language. Below each pronoun is its attached form (in purple). Pronouns can be seen independently or attached to a word. For example هُوَ which means ‘he  or it ’ can be attached to a word like كِتَابُ (which means book). To attach, we should look for the attached form of the pronoun. Attached form of هُوَ is هُ so we can say كِتَابُهُ and this would mean, ‘his book.’ Some pronouns have two attached forms. We choose the attached form for a pronoun depending on the harakah (fili) on the last letter of the word. For example if the word was كِتَابِ it will be very difficult and sounds weird to say كِتَابِهُ so the Arab says كِتَابِهِ and this would also mean ‘his book’. So the second form of an attached pronoun is only used when there is a kasra (ibifili) on the last letter. The pronoun ‘ana’ is an exceptional case. We can change the last harakah of the word to make the word end with an ‘ee’ sound. For example, i...

Mudhaaf-mudhaaf ilaihi with pronouns Among the lessons related to pronouns, we had looked at the pronouns chart. Below is a picture to help you remember. The ‘attached’ forms are actually nasb or jarr versions of the pronouns. They are called ‘attached’ forms because they are always found attached to a word. Example:    رَسُوْلُهُ If you find هُ   or هِ you must know that it’s the attached form of هُوَ and can only be nasb or jarr status. Exercise 1: Identify and write the attached forms of the given pronouns by looking at the chart. (try and remember the attached forms without looking as much as you can In Sha Allah) Pronoun Attached form   (nasb/jarr version) هُوَ هُمَا هُمْ هِيَ هُنَّ أَنْتَ أَنْتُمَا أَنْتُمْ أَنْتِ أَنْتُنَّ ...
