Are Khatams Allowed? Is Praying Over Food A Sunnah or Bidah?

[@strivingslave5962]

0:11 For any act of worship to be accepted has to have 2 conditions: 1. Sincerity - For ٱللَّٰه alone 2. Must be from Sunnah of Prophet ﷺ

[@suhailjamil3909]

The example he used of magrib salah with 3 fard and no more fard added, was beautifully explained mashaAllah. Yes khatam is an innovation, and in many cases opposing it causes rifts in family ties unfortunately. But its always best to abide by the Quran and sunnah of rasullulah SAW only.

dont say saw brother

[@judged007james9]

Narrated Anas bin Malik: A group of three men came to the houses of the wives of the Prophet asking how the Prophet worshipped (Allah), and when they were informed about that, they considered their worship insufficient and said, "Where are we from the Prophet as his past and future sins have been forgiven." Then one of them said, "I will offer the prayer throughout the night forever." The other said, "I will fast throughout the year and will not break my fast." The third said, "I will keep away from the women and will not marry forever." Allah's Apostle came to them and said, "Are you the same people who said so-and-so? By Allah, I am more submissive to Allah and more afraid of Him than you; yet I fast and break my fast, I do sleep and I also marry women. So he who does not follow my way in religion, is not from me (not one of my followers)." (Sahih Bukari Book #62, Hadith #1)

Absolutely perfectly explained 👏 thank you so much

Subhanallah thank you for the reminder

my mum forces me to go to thse khatams lol even though i tell her i dont believe then she gets angry.

[@princessstar5480]

May Allah swt reward you for sticking to the sunnah of our beloved Prophets pbuh x

[@luluah1198]

No one can force you to do khatham. I mean the words are uttered from your own voice box . Say I will do only that which our prophet (saw) Himself did in strong authentic Hadith . Do you wish Allah to be displeased with me , whilst you are pleased with me?

[@soniawasim]

Aslamualikum I hope I'll get reply... in my case I strongly believe in what ALLAH has instructed us through quran and sunnah of hazrat Muhammed (SAW) ... But my in laws practice these biddats... even my husband too...I tried to convince them but they consider me wrong... now for avoiding fights n all I help them in their khatam practice but not from heart definitely... its my forced practice...Will I be punished by ALLAH for that

[@minecraftgamerz4172]

No Sister You won't But i recommend you be patient with your husband in showing proof that it is biddah if he cant tolerate it and goes against your will then divorce him !

[@nassah2010]

Disagree his example of maghrib is irrelevant because khatam do not change any well practiced know and established prayers i.e. 3 rakahs to 4 rakah for maghrib is clear innovation. One can pray and do dhikr at most occasions and ways as long as the actions are not haram. The sahaba did not do salah on a train but we do, my mum do dhikr when she cooks both actions combined are allowed they are not bidah, I can do dhikr when doing burpees it doesn't mean everyone should start it as an established practice it's common sense. My issue with khatam is more that people are concerned with eating than the rest of it and it becomes a gossiping festivity which is why I oppose it.

[@ydw8405]

So if i give sadaqah with the intention to help my sister , it will be rejected ?? .. because my first intention was to help and make my sister happy and not solely to please Allah

[@PeterboroughDawah]

The intention is to give it on behalf of your sister for the sake of Allah. So it's done for the sake of Allah.

[@hedzt6667]

The example of Maghrib Salah doesn't work. Allah has given us 5 Salahs to read, can we add another? Yes, it's not forming part of the 5 mandatory prayers but you can offer voluntary nafal. The Maghrib Salah implied adding to some an established act. A Khatam doesn't do that. A Khatam falls into a voluntary practice. Where if you do it you get rewarded if not, there is no sin. You can't make something Haraam which has not been explicitly stated as being Haraam. When i5 comes to oral sex for example , the ruling is that it has not been explicitly said its haraam so it's okay, when it comes to maturation it's said that it's the lesser of the two evils and is allowed (Dr Zakir Naik) - so when it comes to sexual acts we treat them with leniency but acts of worship with very harsh jurisprudence

[@altunahaliti1337]

Theres good and bad bidah, taraweeh and tahajjud in congregation on ramadan is also bidah but thats not haram?! Im confused

[@talibahmuslimah8922]

The Phrophet sallaah alayhi wa selim performed taraweeh

[@Anonymous_56789]

It’s a sunnah that got revitalised, watch Muslim lantern video on bidah being good

[@hxxwk]

There are two types of Biddah: Biddah Lughawiyyah, and Biddah Shari'. Lughwaiyyah refers to the worldly bid3ah, e.g. cars, television, electric heaters: these are all bid3ahs that are not linked with the religion whatsoever. The dangerous essence of this is that people, south asians in particular, have no understanding in the arabic language: therein we find that their lack of knowledge is deep rooted from this. Bid3ah, is a word, that is contextually used, just like any other word in english. When we refer to an innovative experience, it means something new: something that you haven't experienced before. Similarly, the Prophet, has used "innovation" contextually. You must know to understand the Arabic language before you comment upon these matters. The Prophet always expressed his love for worldly bid3ahs that helped others, like the instance where he commended a bid3ah of a warm cloth that kept hands warm. But then he also condemns bid3ah in another khutbah. Is this a contradiction! Of course not. The bid3ah he refers to in his khutbahs are deep-rooted within the creedal affairs. Umar Ibn Al-Khattab innovated the congregational aspect of Taraweeh, proclaiming "this is indeed a good bid3ah." The Prophet told us, to follow his Sunnah, and the Sunnah of the rightly guided caliphs. Are your innovative pirs among the ranks of the Khalifas? Of course not! The Bid3ah of Umar, is the Sunnah for the Muslimeen!

[@thelegend6951]

There is no such thing as good or bad bidah all innovation is bad and all innovators will be in the hellfire as narrated by the prophet (saw ) himself

[@gangraa2408]

there's no good/bad bid'a. Bid'a is bid'a.

[@shujathshareef959]

What is the daleel for 2nd condition to have our deeds acceped ?

[@PeterboroughDawah]

Aisha reported: The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said, “Whoever innovates into this matter of ours that which does not belong to it, it will be rejected.” In another narration, the Prophet said, “Whoever performs a deed that is not in accordance with our matter, it will be rejected.” Source: Ṣaḥīḥ al-Bukhārī 2697, Ṣaḥīḥ Muslim 1718

[@lofy132]

Whatabout reciting khatam among ourselves like the people living together whenever we sit before eating we recite surahs and ayats and ask Allah to bless our beloved grandmom (who recently passed away) as khatam and we don't show off or invite others at all but we eat the food ourselves its not sth lavish or anything just whatever we eat daily or normally....is it accepted?

[@alanleecheung9939]

It's Bida'h which isn't from the Sunnah of the Prophet pbuh. So no it isn't recommended or righteous, saying a prayer is fine but don't label it and make is a tradition.

[@shujathshareef959]

Remember : 1) The Scholars of hadith ( Original Salaf ) have divided bidah into good & bad. 2) Majority of Scholars permit khatams as allowed. 3) Keep going to your relatives & enjoy the food.

@@shujathshareef959 good and bad bidah you must be joking. Jabir ibn Abdullah reported: The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, would praise Allah in his sermon, as He deserves to be praised, and then he would say, “Whomever Allah guides, no one can lead him astray. Whomever Allah sends astray, no one can guide him. The truest word is the Book of Allah and the best guidance is the guidance of Muhammad.

[@shameempeerboccus640]

So if I want people to gather at my place.. I should call them one day to read the quran,another day for dua and then another day to give them food? 🤔🤔

[@PeterboroughDawah]

What is important to understand is that Islam is not based on our opinions, it doesn't matter what we think is good. Rather Islam is based upon the Qur'an and upon the sunnah of the Messenger of Allah (salalaahu alayhi wasalam). How many children did the Prophet bury? How many companions did he bury? Yet he did no khatam. The Prophet (salalaahu alayhi wasalam) conveyed Allah's message clearly and he showed us what to do when someone dies from washing the deceased, shrouding them, praying over them, showing condolences etc yet there is not one single mention about khatam. Not a single companion gathered at the house of the Prophet salalaahu alayhi wasalam to offer dua, recite Qur'an and eat food. Nor did he (salalaahu alayhi wasalam) do that for any of his companions. We suffice ourselves in following the sunnah, as for you, Allah has given you free will to follow whatever you like.

[@shujathshareef959]

😂😂Good question.

[@demonslayer7014]

Khatams are allowed, dont worry, it is not bidah, your not doing anything that would make it shirk or leaving the fold of islam or the teachings of The final Most Beloved Prophet, therefore, it is not an innovation, it is merely a way to ask Allah SWT for more rizk or barakah for your household and create a routine of zikr and remembernce, theres a difference in understanding and intentions in what a khatam is. JazalAllah 'Khair

[@justislam5556]

Why theres khatam in haramain durung ramadan? Why do they do khatam when talking ijazah in the Quran? Saudi royal family makes millions inivation, but none of our beloved shuyuk say anything? I like the sympathy

[@rizwanali649]

It's very sad though I 100% agree with this But the family background I come from does exactly the same thing My young sister is arguing the same case Then she is asking me why I go to these places if I agree it is Bidat I give her answers. 1. At least I get to see my wife reading the Qur'an. And I also get some free time to read the Qur'an. Whereas in our house there is no environment of doing so. 2. Your own father doesn't know anything but how turn on or switch off a Television. From one button to Islam channel to the other button Fitnah channel so much hypocrisy. 3. You yourself are taking your own children to cinema. Is the Fardh? Is this Sunnat? Is this Nafl? I know my local Imam has said that this act is Bidat. But if my family members. My father for whom I am supposed to show respect and my own sister who is already confused .Com are not ready to listen to the truth Then I just have to keep quite and salvage the happiness that at least my wife will read the Qur'an for that particular day. And by getting to these places early, myself I get to read the Qur'an and communicate with Allah, not for the deceased as some people may think. but for myself.

[@shujathshareef959]

This Speaker said every deed should be from Sunnah. I want to ask him, Bilal r.a used to pray 2 rakats nafil after making wuzu for Mosque. ( Tahiyyatul Masjid ). This nafil prayer is not proven from Sunnah. So Bilal r.a was doing biddah ??

[@PeterboroughDawah]

Tahayatul Masjid is proven from the sunnah! Abu Qataadah (may Allah be pleased with him) said: The Prophet (blessings and peace of Allah be upon him) said: “When one of you enters the mosque, let him not sit down until he has prayed two rak‘ahs.” Narrated by al-Bukhaari, 1167; Muslim, 714
