Readin' Naats and Hamd?

@Larki-NY

P.S. For those who are talking about the musical instruments: For your information the naat, “Tala-al Badru aleina” on the arrival of Muhammad :saw: was said or sung with “Duff” which was the most popular musical instrument of the Arab at that time. So long there is no disrespect, I have no problem with that. Like Naat of Abdul-Rauf Roofi, excellent naats. May Allah give him Ajr-e-Azeem for saying such beautiful naats that people listen to the praise of Prophet Muhammad :saw: more often than they could otherwise.

Lets form a rock and roll band to sing praises for Prophet PBUH

I disagree with all of you.

Naat is something that is the Sunnah of a Sahaabi:razi: Syedana Owais-e-Qarani:razi: …

I didnt know that …I think Uwais Qurni(ra) was from Yemen and Ali(as) and Umar(ra) went to meet him on the behalf of the Prophet(pbuh) is that right?

@skhan

I agree with Captain1 and Lajawab. It's much easier to sing praises about the prophet (pbuh) than to actually follow him.

but that doesn't make praising any worse as in the case of reading holy quran without understanding it. Should we stp reciting quran if we don't understand or follow it properly???

Common-sense is not so common!
You can make fun as much as you like. You will get the rewards and answers to all your questions on the day of judgment by Allah (SWT)!

Re: Readin’ Naats and Hamd?

Once Abi bin Ka’ab asked Prophet :saw: "how much of my dua should I devote for you. I make some zikr of you (darood) in all my prayers. Prophet :saw: said, whatever you like. He asked 25%? Prophet :saw: said it’s okay, but if you do more, it would be better. He asked if he should make it to 50%? Prophet :saw: said, it’s good but if you do more it would be better for you. He then said, should I make it 100%? Prophet :saw: said, if you do so, Allah :swt: will rectify your affairs and put barakah in it and would forgive your sins.

Those who are still confused… go figure!

Re: Readin' Naats and Hamd?

^ You are showing just a hadith, I'm sure there are (is) verse regarding praising Prophet PBUH too, but is that the permission for "milaad" the way we do? Think about it.

Now all of a sudden you are so defensive, why? Why can't we make a rock n roll band for praising Prophet PBUH? All we will do is sing "praising" songs for Prophet, now what would be so wrong with that?

@Barfee

AQ Please dont label me, I am a muslim.

So why do you follow the companions?

I did not label you but pointed out what one school of thought thinks otherwise, which does not necessarily means to be an incorrect point of faith; for every school of thought is correct in the sense that it follows its guidelines from traditions of Prophet :saw: in search of guidance.

Where one hadeeth about prophet’s companions being light of guidance is considred Ahsan in one school, it is taken as Mo’du in other.

Similarly, Rafa Yadain is taken as abrogated Sunnah of Prophet:saw: in his later life by Abu Hanifa:rehm: but considered fine otherwise in the fiqh of Imam-e-Hanbal:rehm: .. Does not mean that doing it is wrong; infact, it’s a sunnah to say the least.

Having said that, I will point out to only one ayah in Quran that talks about the Companions of Prophet (RA) and why they are considered source of guidance because they themselves were the followers of Muhamamdur Rasoolulah:saw:

In Surah Tauba [9] ayah number 100, Allah:swt: says:

**The vanguard (of Islam)- the first of those who forsook (their homes) and of those who gave them aid, and (also) those who follow them in (all) good deeds,- well- pleased is Allah with them, as are they with Him: for them hath He prepared gardens under which rivers flow, to dwell therein for ever: that is the supreme felicity. **

Re: Readin' Naats and Hamd?

The most liked voice by Allah among His creation is "voice of human"
and it is a blessing if anyone uses it for hamd-o-naat
as Hazrat Daud Allayhe salam used to say Hamd for Allah and Allah liked his voice , similarly Allah gave good voice to Hazrat Bilal RematAllah , and liked his voice too. It is a gift from Allah if someone has good voice and uses it for praising Allah and prophet.

Infact sometimes these are quite inspirational.
its the niyyat that counts at the end , if someone feels luv for Allah or Rasool and sings hamd-o-naat and if ppl feel inspired by listening to it with luv of Allah and Rasool , there should be nothing wrong with that

Re: Readin' Naats and Hamd?

though i agree that if i u rate the ibadats than nothing compared to reading Quran and reciting durood.

[ImranQ]

Re: Readin’ Naats and Hamd?

well as far as following sahaba goes; all hadith and sunnah we are aware of are virtue of sahabas. Secondly, not considering them trustworthy would certainly make void all those hadith/sunnah.

Additionally, we should recognize the fact that they were lot lot better muslims and more abiding to islamic sharia as they had the privilage of being taught by prophet :saw: himself and no single muslim can doubt his :saw: knowledge and justness.

Returning to the main topic, patterns are everywhere; some tend to recite holy quran, some find sprituality in namaz ,some consider helping mandkind most effective mean of earning God’s praise. Its a matter of personal choice than anything else.

well i was wondering Is reciting Quran a farz???

@evilmastermind

I totaly don’t agree on reading naats and hamds out in public on these occasions, there are better ways …infact MUCH better ways to express your love for Allah (s.w.t) and Prophet (p.b.u.h).

**[FONT=&quot]*When certain of the Sahabah used to recite the praises of Rasoolullah *(sallal laahu alaihi wasallam) *in poetry form, Rasoolullah (sallal laahu alaihi wasallam) used to rejoice and reward those Sahabah. In the Meelad function, the character and virtues of Rasoolullah (sallal laahu alaihi wasallam) are explained and his praises are recited in poetry and prose form

*[FONT=&quot]Imam Suyuti (radi Allahu anhu) writes about Meelad: *“According to me, gatherings, recitations of the Quran, mentioning incidents of the holy life of Rasoolullah (sallal laahu alaihi wasallam) and mentioning those signs which appear at the time of his birth are amongst the good innovations in which a person is rewarded because in this there is respect, love and expression of happiness for the arrival of Rasoolullah (sallal laahu alaihi wasallam)”. ****[FONT=&quot](Al Haavi Lil Fataawa)

***[FONT=&quot]Allama Ibn Abedeen Shami (radi Allahu anhu) writes: “Every person who is truthful in the love of Rasoolullah (sallal laahu alaihi wasallam) should express happiness in the month of Rabi-ul-Awwal. He should arrange an assembly for the Meelad of Rasoolullah (sallal laahu alaihi wasallam) in which the incidents of his birth are explained with correct Ahadith. There is a strong hope from Allah that such a person will be included in the group of pious people with the intercession of Rasoolullah (sallal laahu alaihi wasallam)”. (Jawahi Rul Bihaar)

Volume 4, Book 54, Number 434:

Narrated Sa'id bin Al-Musaiyab: 'Umar came to the Mosque while Hassan was reciting a poem. ('Umar disapproved of that). On that Hassan said, "I used to recite poetry in this very Mosque in the presence of one (i.e. the Prophet ) who was better than you." Then he turned towards Abu Huraira and said (to him), "I ask you by Allah, did you hear Allah's Apostle saying (to me), "Retort on my behalf. O Allah! Support him (i.e. Hassan) with the Holy Spirit?" Abu Huraira said, "Yes."
