Imsak – The Amber Light?

Posted in Discussion at July 29th, 2010 / 1 Comment » 130 views

Assalammualaikum wr wb,

As Ramadan is approaching us, we would like to open up some discussion and topics about this. So here’s the first topic..

What do you think of the Imsak time?

We Muslims usually don’t care about this time during other Islamic months, but in Ramadan this time has become an important number.

Since young my mom would tell me, “E… Dah Imsak tau. Tak boleh makan lagi!”. For a young boy back then, we wouldn’t know what really this time signifies because I became confuse when my mom tell me that I still have 10 more minutes to eat my meal.

Well to make it simple for everyone to understand, its like the Traffic Light? IMSAK is like the AMBER LIGHT? The moment you see that yellow light while driving, it is indicating you to slow down and even stop if possible (Best to stop though).

Similarly, IMSAK is just to tell us to stop eating. You can continue to eat till Subuh but slow down the food intake and prepare to stop.

I could not find any hadiths about this, perhaps anyone out there can share a little bit of history on IMSAK and how it got started. This thread is open for discussion, however note that every comment is moderated. Please comment below.

Assalamualaikum,

Friends,

Yesterday, the New Paper wrote an interesting article. I got hooked when reading their “bait” on the first page with the statement: Should churches be run like businesses?

Of course that article is related to the current investigations being made towards some of Singapore’s Mega-churches.

Most of our mosques today are merely surviving financially. It is sometimes disheartening to see the condition of some of these mosques. We often see the persistent efforts made by staff and volunteers to raise funds and “stay afloat”.

Without associating or making a direct comparison with any of these Mega-churches, do you think our mosques should be run like businesses?

I invite anyone to share comments and thoughts. Thank you.

Speeding Imams

Posted in Discussion at February 17th, 2010 / No Comments » 505 views

This is quite a good discussion as you may encounter this before through out your life.

Do share your thoughts on this at www.nasibriyanilounge.com

Thread started by Hidayat.

Sorry if the title seems appropriate. I just have no idea how else to put it.

Will the jemaah’s prayers be accepted if the imam goes at a very very fast pace? I am NOT referring to solat Jumaat, Terawih, Maghrib, Isyak or Subuh.

But rather the casual solat Zuhur and ‘Asr whereby a person may offer to lead in solat (in a musollah) for another 1 to perhaps 3 more, a small jemaah prayer. As we know, Al-Fatihah and other surahs for the first 2 rakaat (for Zuhur and ‘Asr especially) are not recited out loud. And there are occasions whereby the imam could have been a student of other mazhabs.

The jemaah might not be able to catch up in all parts of the solat. Our hearts might even go as far as wondering if the imam recited correctly

Will our solat be accepted? How do we react? Is there a sahih Hadith on this? I’ve not yet completed reading hadith books but if someone out there is familiar, would be grateful if you could share here. Thank you.
