Some of the virtues of the last ten days of Ramadan / Shaykh Saalih Al-Fawzaan






Question:

"If you could please benefit us by mentioning some of the virtues of the last ten days of Ramadan?"

Answer:

"The virtues of the last ten days are immense, for the Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم used to exert himself in them even more than at the beginning of the month. Thus he عليه الصلاة والسلام would strive even harder with regards to his night prayers in these nights than in his night prayers at the beginning of the month. And he عليه الصلاة والسلام used to perform I'tikaf[1] in the last ten days of Ramadan, meaning that he صلى الله عليه وسلم would remain in the mosque for the remembrance (dhikr) of Allah and in order to perform worship. And he صلى الله عليه وسلم would not leave the mosque throughout the last ten days of Ramadan except when really needed, which is a clear proof for their great excellence and virtue. Furthermore Laylat-ul-Qadr is more likely to be in these last ten (nights) because the Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم informed that it is to be expected in the last ten (nights) in particular. Hence he صلى الله عليه وسلم would make great efforts in these ten in pursuit of Laylat-ul-Qadr."

السؤال : أرجو الإفادة عن فضائل العشر الأواخر من رمضان ‏؟‏

الجواب : فضائل العشر الأواخر عظيمة ، وذلك لأن النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم كان يجتهد فيها أكثر من اجتهاده في أول الشهر، فكان عليه الصلاة والسلام يجتهد  في التهجد في هذه الليالي أكثر من تهجده في أول الشهر‏‏، ‏وكان عليه الصلاة والسلام يعتكف في العشر الأواخر من رمضان ، بمعنى‏ أنه يمكث في المسجد لذكر الله وللعبادة ، ولا يخرج منه إلا لحاجة الإنسان طيلة العشر الأواخر، مما يدل على مزيتها وفضيلتها‏ ، كذلك فإن أكثر ما يرجى مصادفة ليلة القدر في هذه العشر الأواخر، لأن النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم أخبر أنها تُرجى في العشر الأواخر خاصة ، فكان صلى الله عليه وسلم يجتهد في هذه العشر طلبًا لليلة القدر‏

[Quote] The Sweetness of Īmān for the Woman by Shaykh Sulaymān ibn Salīmullāh al-Ruḥaylī







Shaykh al-Ruḥaylī:

There is the spiritual sweetness specifically for the women that the Prophet {صلى الله عليه وسلم} explained. He said, 

"If I was to command anyone to make prostration before another I would command the women to prostrate herself before her husband, because of his tremendous rights over her" (1) 

The women will not taste the sweetness of Īmān until she gives her husband his rights.

So the women, if she gives her husband his rights, in obedience to Allaah, carrying out the command of Allaah, she will taste the sweetness in her heart and that is the sweetness of Īmān.

And in regards to this affair, the Shay'aateen of man and jinn nowadays are trying to divert the women from this, and they whisper to her that she is equal to the man, and that her giving her husband his rights is weakness and humiliation and this is a tremendous mistake.

Rather the nobility of the women is to give her husband his rights in obedience to Allaah. She will taste in her heart a tremendous sweetness.

A women has her rights and her status and Islaam honoured her and the noble Muslim reveres her.

However her carrying out her husband's rights is from her nobility! It's not humiliation neither is it a deficiency nor oppression.
