The Etiquette of Lending Books

Shaykh Saalih bin Abdul-Aziz Aali Shaykh (May Allah be pleased with him)

From the etiquettes related to books, also, is: The manners of lending out books. Giving out books for people

to borrow is not allowed unless you are giving them to someone that you trust will care for the books. The rea-

son for this is because you have the most right to your book, unless you find someone else that is in need of the

book and who, when he finishes using it, will return it back to you. It is mentioned in the biography of Al-

Khateeb Al-Baghdaadee that a man once asked him if he could borrow one of his books, so he replied saying:

―You have three days to use it.‖ The man said: ―That is not enough time.‖ So Al-Khateeb said: ―I have counted

its pages, so if you want to make a copy of it, then three days is sufficient for you. And if you want to read it,

then three days is sufficient for you. And if you want to do more than that with it, then I have the most right to

my book.‖

This is correct, since in the past I had lent the first volume of a large book consisting of eight volumes to a

brother - I don‘t want to mention the title of the book, since perhaps he may hear this and think I‘m insinuating

him - and now nearly twelve years have passed on, and he still has not returned it to me,. And he tells me he

doesn‘t know where he put it. Similarly, the eighth volume of another set – even though I‘m not worried so

much over it – however, more than twenty years have passed and until now, he has not given it back. This is

why a poet once said:

“Do not lend your books

And make your answer some excuse

Whoever does in fact lend a book,

I swear, he has not done something good.”

Another person said: ―The perdition of books is in lending them.‖

THIS WORKBOOK BELONGS TO

_________________________________________________________________________

Remember, before we begin anything we say the Basmalah. You start by saying ―Bismillah‖

meaning: In the Name of Allah, The Most Merciful, The Bestower of Mercy

View how it is written in the Arabic form below.

Shaykh Muhammad ibn Saalih al-Uthaymeen, may Allah be pleased with his affair (scholar who ex-

plained to us about the 3 Fundamental Principles) used to write this at the beginning of his books be-

cause it is in accordance with the Book of Allah and the Authentic Sunnah of the Messenger (May Al-

lah’s peace, mercy and blessings be upon him).

Can you say Bismillaahir Ar- Rahmanir Raheem ?

Follow the example of our Prophet by practicing the saying and writing of the Basmalah two times each…

You may practice more on an additional piece of paper if you need to inshaAllah.

بِـسْـمِ الِله الرَّحْـمـنِ الرَّحِـيـمِِ

Understanding

The Senses

Allah is the Most Merciful to all of the creation

10


Alhamdulillah, can you point to your eyes? They are above your nose. Allah has given us eyes, a tongue

and a nose. Alhamdulillah! All of these things are a blessing to you from Allah. They are a special gift and

you must be very careful to guard them, take care of them and to be thankful to Allah for them, inshaAllah.

Activity/Exercise

Why should I show Allah that I am grateful for giving me my eyes?

Using a piece of cloth (or under scarf) wrap it around your eyes and tie it snuggly and fit so that you can-

not see anything inshaAllah. Enter into a familiar room. Turn off the lights so that it remains dark. Now

try to find your favorite toy, Jilbaab, kufi or other objects inshaAllah. Do this for two to three minutes.

Look for additional items if necessary. Can you tell what it must be like for someone who really cannot

see? They do this everyday, all day with the exception that they do not have a blindfold. Say Alhamdulil-

lah, for Allah‘s blessings upon you. To be able to have eyes that see, is a blessing from Allah.

Why are my eyes so important? Your eyes are important because they allow you to see! Your eyes are

able to see things, objects, and people whether they be small or big. Some people wear eye glasses or con-

tact lenses and this helps them to see better. There are some people who cannot see at all. They have no

sight. They are blind. Have you ever seen a blind person? Can you name a scholar who is or was blind?

What is the name for the person who cannot see?

Lesson 1: Allah has given me a pair of eyes

Color Me...

It is He, Who has created for you (the sense of) hearing

(ears), sight (eyes), and hearts (understanding). Little

thanks you give.

Point to your ears. They are located on both sides of your head. Listen closely, can you hear anything

around you? MashaAllah! Your ears are a blessing to you from Allah. They are a special gift and you must

be very careful to guard them, take care of them and to be thankful to Allah, for them inshaAllah.

What are sounds? Sounds are what you can hear with your ears. Like a baby crying, or a car horn and even

the little cricket singing its song. All of these things are called sounds. Can you think of other types of

sounds? Name three sounds that you can think of. _______________ _______________ __________.

Why are my ears so important?

Your ears are important because they allow you to hear what is happening around you! Your hearing

gives you the ability to listen to other people like your Ummi and Abi, to lectures online, Qur‘aan reci-

tation, and so much more. Some people have trouble hearing. They may wear something called a hear-

ing aide. This allows them to hear more clearly the sounds around them or when someone talks to them.

There are some people who cannot hear at all. This is not because they don‘t have ears, but because they

have lost the ability to hear with them. Some people were born with no hearing at all. The word for a

person who can not hear is deaf. We must thank Allah for giving us this blessing of hearing with our

ears inshaAllah.

Lesson 2: Allah has given me a pair of ears

Cont on page 11...

Say (to the disbelievers): "Tell me, if Allâh took away your

hearing and your sight, and sealed up your hearts, who is

there other than Allâh who could restore them to you?"

See how variously We explain the Ayat (proofs, evidences,

verses, lessons, signs, revelations, etc.), yet they turn

aside. (Al-An 'am 6:46)

THE

EAR

1. What does a hearing aide do?

2. What does deaf mean?

3. Can a person be born deaf?

12


What sound do I make?

The Mu‘adhdhin

He makes the call to prayer

What sound do you hear?

Repeat after the Mu‘adhdhin


The Salaat

When we pray we must recite al-

Fatihah or our prayers will not be

accepted.

Recite the Al-Fatihah. how did it

sound? Listen to someone else

recite it too.


Have you ever heard the birds

singing outside of your window?

What sounds do they make?

What surah in the Qur‘aan talks

about birds?

How Do You Hear

Why should I show Allah that I am grateful for my hearing?

To explain hearing is very complicated. But if you listen closely inshaAllah you will understand. When

an object makes a noise, it sends vibrations (sound waves) speeding through the air. These vibrations are

then funneled into your ear canal by your outer ear. As the vibrations move into your middle ear, they hit

your eardrum and cause it to vibrate as well. This sets off a chain reaction of vibrations. Your eardrum,

which is smaller and thinner than your pinky fingernail, vibrates the three smallest bones in your body:

first, the hammer, then the anvil, and finally, the stirrup. The stirrup passes the vibrations into a coiled

tube in the inner ear called the cochlea.

The fluid-filled cochlea contains thousands of hair-like nerve endings called cilia. When the stirrup

causes the fluid in the cochlea to vibrate, the cilia move. The cilia change the vibrations into messages

that are sent to the brain via the auditory nerve. The auditory nerve carries messages from 25,000 recep-

tors in your ear to your brain. Your brain then makes sense of the messages and tells you what sounds

you are hearing.

And Allah knows best.

As your reading follow the diagram below.

Everywhere around you there are sounds, can you name the sounds below

13


Allah created you and gave us the ability to speak. We

use our mouths, tongues and our lips when we talk.

What should we know about the tongue?

1. We learn from the Salaf that the tongue expresses

what is in the heart. So if a person works to have a

good heart you will see it in his speech.

2. We have also learned, that if you use your tongue

correctly then it has blessings in this action. One of

those blessings is communication (being able to talk

and tell others what you are thinking).

3. We should be grateful to Allah for this blessing of

speech by being obedient to Him and increasing in

acts of worship like reading Qur‘aan, speaking good,

and too dhikr much (remember Allah).

There is a warning about too Much Talk for a Muslim!

So you must remember, that Allah says in the Qur‘aan:

“Not a word is said except that there is a watcher by Him

ready to record it.” Surah Qaf:18

Angels record everything that you say or do. They are

very obedient to Allah and they do not disobey him. So if

you say something good it is written, and if you say

something bad it is written down also.

Allah says in the Qur‘aan:

―Verily your Lord is ever watchful over them.‖

Ibn Abbas (radi allahu anhu) said:

―ever watchful‖, means

That Allah sees and hears everything you do!

Good speech and actions are

from good character.

Instructions: Read the lesson completely. Think about what you have

read. Remember the hadith and ayaat. Review what you have learned.

―Indeed a servant may say a

word from which Allah‘s pleas-

ure is gained and the servant

does not realize it, Allah will

raise him up levels. ..

_____________________

Narrated by

Abu Hurairah

Sahih Al-Bukhari 8/485

Before you speak ask yourself some questions, inshaAllah

1. Am I saying something that will be pleasing to Allah?

2. Will my speech bring me closer to Allah?

3. Is this saying upon obedience to Allah?

If you said yes to any of these questions then you should speak, but if

you said no to any of the questions then you must keep silent. So that a

bad deed will not be written for you inshaAllah.

Homework Assignment 1

Give some examples of

good speech.

Example:

Saying ―SubhanaAllah‖

Glory be to Allah

Lesson 3: Allah has given me a

Tongue and two lips

Allah says: “O you who believe, fear Allah and speak

Nature and It‘s wonders

Alhamdulillah


15


Allah created the rain, and it replenishes the earth and

brings forth water for you and the animals to drink. Rain

can come in many forms like snow, sleet, hail, and dew.

We all benefit from the rain…

1. The earth is replenished with water when it rains.

This allows the plants, trees and vegetables to grow

and not to become dried out.

2. The rain provides water to animals. Some insects are

born from water, can you guess which ones? Do

some research on the internet to find your answers.

3. Mankind is in need of water too! We drink water

everyday and this replenishes (moistens the cells)

your body. The Human body consist of about 60 to

75% of water.

Reread the statement above (1st paragraph) and think

about what it says. Say alhamdulillah, for truly Allah is

merciful for creating the rain for you and for me…

Bonus Question: From the lesson can you name another

benefit that Allah provides to animals and mankind? This

is also something that you do everyday!

There are several duas you can say at the time that it is

either raining, when you are in need of rain, or after it

rains inshaAllah.

Hadith 1

―Allahumma sayyiban naafi‘an‖

O Allah, (bring) beneficial rain clouds.

Fortress of the Muslim. Pg.138; Found in Sahih al-Bukhari and Fathul-Bari

Ummi, What is rain?

Explanation Sheet

Instructions: Read the lesson completely. Think about what you have

read. Remember the hadith and ayaat. Review what you have learned.

Allah has provided lots, and lots

of reflection for us regarding rain

in the Noble Qur‘aan. Read the

following ayaat for reflection

inshaAllah

_____________________

Al-Baqarah 2: 22

Allah created bodies of water. They have different names like

the ocean, Sea, lakes and some natural waterfalls inshaAllah.

A storm is a heavy fall of rain, hail, sleet or snow. There are several

types of storms that come from water.

Tsunami, hurricanes, thunderstorms, and floods

Homework Assignment 1

Do you know the story of

Prophet Nuh (alaihi sa-

laam)? Have you read how

the earth was covered by

the flood back then? Read

the ―Stories of the Proph-

ets‖ by Ibn Kathir to find

out more.

Lesson 4: Allah is the Most Merciful to

all of the creation

Allah says: “Do they not see that Allah enlarges the

provision for whom he wills and straitens (it for whom

he wills), Verily, in that are indeed signs for a people

who believe. 30: 37

16


What is a Waterfall?

Do you remember that we talked about different types of water that Allah has provided for us

like lakes, seas, oceans, streams, snow, and hail? Well, one type of water is the waterfall.

A waterfall is usually a formation resulting from water, often in the form of a stream, flowing

over an erosion-resistant rock formation that forms a sudden break in elevation or nick point.

Some waterfalls form in mountain environments where the water force is high and stream

courses may be subject to sudden and catastrophic change. In such cases, the waterfall may not

be the end product of many years of water action over a region, but rather the result of rela-

tively sudden processes such as landslides, faults or volcanic action.

Waterfalls may also be artificial, and they are sometimes created as garden and landscape orna-

ments. These are the ones you and I usually see.

More about waterfalls... There are three main ways that a waterfall can be made. One is when a river bed flows along it washes away

the soft earth or rock from around harder rock. This is called erosion. If the softer rock is downstream from the

harder rock it will erode the soft rock away and a waterfall will form.

Another common way that waterfalls form is when a glacier - a very slow moving huge river of ice - grinds it‘s

way down a valley making the valley much bigger than it was. When smaller valleys that had been running

into the glacier valley are left behind they empty any water that was flowing out of them into the air and a wa-

terfall is formed.

Sometimes in an earthquake a piece of land can be lifted up about the land around it. If there was a river flow-

ing over that land an instant waterfall can form.

Experiment 1: Make your own waterfall

Make yours in a part of the garden that you‘ve checked it‘s ok to use.

With a waterfall the water has to... fall. So you‘ll need to build one

piece of land up higher than the rest. Use flat stones like a real waterfall

to give your river a solid base to run over to become a waterfall and

you can cover the rocks with dirt for the water to erode away. Using a

large pot or measuring cup, start pouring water from the highest end of

the river you have made. Now watch your very own waterfall.

Lesson 5: What is a waterfall?

17


Lesson 6: What is a Volcano?

What is a Volcano? A volcano is a naturally occurring opening in the surface of the Earth through which molten, gaseous, and

solid material is ejected. There are more than 500 active volcanoes in the world! More than half of these vol-

canoes are part of the ―Ring of Fire,‖ which is the area that circles the Pacific Ocean.

Experiment 2: Make your own Volcano…

1. First make the 'cone' of the baking soda volcano. Mix 6 cups flour, 2 cups salt, 4 tablespoons cooking oil,

and 2 cups of water. The resulting mixture should be smooth and firm (more water may be added if

needed).

2. Stand the soda bottle in the baking pan and mold the dough around it into a volcano shape. Don't cover the

hole or drop dough into it!

3. Fill the bottle most of the way full with warm water and a bit of red food color (can be done before sculpt-

ing if you don't take so long that the water gets cold).

4. Add 6 drops of detergent to the bottle contents.

5. Add 2 tablespoons baking soda to the liquid.

6. Slowly pour vinegar into the bottle. Watch out - eruption time!

7. Chemistry is Cool !

Tips:

1. The cool red lava is the result of a chemical reaction between the baking soda and vinegar.

2. In this reaction, carbon dioxide gas is produced, which is also present in real volcanoes.

3. As the carbon dioxide gas is produced, pressure builds up inside the plastic bottle, until the gas bubbles

(thanks to the detergent) out of the 'volcano'.

4. Adding a bit of yellow food coloring too

will result in lovely red-orange lava!

What You Need:

6 cups flour

2 cups salt

4 tablespoons cooking oil

warm water

plastic soda bottle

dishwashing detergent

food coloring

vinegar

baking dish or other pan

2 T baking soda

http://chemistry.about.com/cs/howtos/ht/

buildavolcano.htm

Deep inside Earth, there is a solid mass of rock called the

mantle. When rock from the mantle melts and moves to the

surface through the earth‘s crust and releases built-up gases,

volcanoes erupt.

Very, very high temperature and pressure causes the rock to

melt and become liquid rock called magma. When the magma

rises through the denser rock layers and reaches the Earth‘s

surface, it is called lava. Imagine how hot it must be!

Lesson 7: What is an Earthquake?

From the Signs of the Hour

An Increase in Killing, Diseases and Earthquakes

Aboo Khadeejah continues, ‗from the signs of the hour, also, is that killing will

increase. More and more people will get killed to the extent that it is reported

from the Messenger of Allaah (sallallaahu ‘alayhi wa sallam) that a person will

get killed and he will not know why he has been killed, and the one who kills

will not know for what reason he killed.

New diseases will appear, diseases that have not been seen before. And also, an

increase in earthquakes and tremors upon the earth, that they will become more

widespread and more frequent. So all of these are from the signs of the hour,

which each and every one of us has to take heed of and be aware of, so that we

know how to combat the diseases that our peers from amongst mankind, from

the diseases of ignorance and becoming negligent is worship, negligent in ac-

tion and negligent in following the Sunnah of the Messenger (sallallaahu

‘alayhi wa sallam).

And Allah says in Surah Az- Zalzalah: 99

―When the earth is shaken with its (final) earthquake. And when the

earth throws out its burdens. And man will say: ―What is the matter

with it?‖ That day it will declare its information (about all that hap-

pened over it of good or evil). Because your Lord will inspire it. That

Day mankind will proceed in scattered groups that they may be shown

their deeds. So whosoever does good equal to the weight of an atom (or

small ant) shall see it. And whosoever does evil equal to the weight of

an atom (or small ant) shall see it.

From the words of our beloved Messenger (salla allahu alaihi wa

salaam) Narrated Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him)

―Do you know what it‘s information is? The companions said: ―Allah

and his Messenger know best.‖ He (salla allahu alaihi wa salaam) said:

―Its news is that it will give testimony about the deeds performed over it

by every male and female slave of Allah. It will say, ‗Such and such

person performed such and such deeds on such and such day‘: that will

be its information.‖

And Allah says: Al-Kahf - 18:49

―And they will find all that they did placed before them‖

Earthquakes are caused by the release of

built-up pressure inside the Earth's crust, in

the form of seismic waves. An earthquake's

power is measured on the Richter scale,

using an instrument called a seismometer.

A seismometer is a sensitive machine,

which picks up the vibrations caused by the

earthquake. It plots these vibrations on a

seismograph.

The strength, or magnitude, of an earth-

quake is measured using a scale called the

Richter Scale. The Richter Scale is num-

bered 0-10:

An earthquake measuring one or two on

the scale is very common and can happen

everyday in places like San Francisco.

These earthquakes are so small that they

can only be picked up by a seismometer:

people cannot feel them.

An earthquake measuring around seven or

eight on the Richter Scale can be devastat-

ing, e.g. the earthquake in Turkey of 1999

which measured 7.5 on the Richter scale.

The effects of an earthquake can be devas-

tating: destroying settlements, changing

landscapes, and causing many deaths.

The Qur’aan

Salaat (The Prayer of the Muslim)

“Command your children to pray when they become seven (7) years old”…

Muslims pray five (5) times a day

Fajr, Dhuhr, Asr, Maghrib and Ishaa too

And do you know what else you are asked to do?

In your salaat you must learn to say

Surah al-Fatihah every day!

In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful

All the praises and thanks be to Allah, the Lord of the 'Alamîn (mankind, jinn and all that ex-

ists).

The Most Gracious, the Most Merciful

The Only Owner (and the Only Ruling Judge) of the Day of Recompense (i.e. the Day of Res-

urrection)

You (Alone) we worship, and You (Alone) we ask for help (for each and everything).

Guide us to the Straight Way.

The Way of those on whom You have bestowed Your Grace, not (the way) of those who earned

Your Anger (such as the Jews), nor of those who went astray (such as the Christians).

"From the evil of what He has created;

"And from the evil of the darkening (night) as it comes with its darkness; (or the

moon as it sets or goes away)

"And from the evil of those who practice witchcrafts when they blow in the knots,

Lesson 12: Surah

An-Naas


Say: "I seek refuge with (Allâh) the Lord of mankind,

withdraws (from his whispering in one's heart after one remembers Allâh)

"Who whispers in the breasts of mankind,

"Of jinn and men."

Lesson 13: Abdullah bin Umar

(radi allahu anhu)

Abdullah bin Umar is the son of Umar bin Al-Khattab (radi

allahu anhumma), who was the second caliph of Islam. When Abdul-

lah was seven years old his father accepted Islam. Abdullah went

with his father to visit the prophet (salla allahu alaihi wa sallaam) so

that he could tell him that he accepts Islaam too. At that time, there

were many hardships and trials for the Muslims. They were being

tortured by the Quraish. It became so bad that the prophet (salla al-

lahu alaihi wa sallaam) told the Muslims to migrate to Yathrib were

they would be safe to practice their religion and worship Allah freely.

Abdullah and his family were one of the first families to make Hijrah

to Al-Madinah (Yathrib).

When the prophet (salla allahu alaihi wa sallaam) and his

companion Abu Bakr (radi allahu anhu) arrived in al-Madinah a few

months later. They were greeted by all the young boys with great joy.

Abdullah tried to stay around the prophet (salla allahu alaihi wa sal-

laam) everyday after his arrival.

When Abdullah was just thirteen years old the first battle of

Islam took place, ―The Battle of Badr.‖ Abdullah was to young to

participate in this battle and the ―Battle of Uhud.‖ So he stayed home

and prayed for their victory. When Abdullah turned fifteen he had the

opportunity to participate in ―The Battle of Ditch‖, by helping the

Muslims dig the trench around the city, alhamdulillah may Allah re-

ward him for his efforts, Aameen.

Abdullah bin Umar (radi allahu anhu) The Jurist

Written By: Abdul Basit Ahmad

Edited By: Aqeel walker and Muhammad Ayub Sapra

The merits of Àbdullah bin Umar (radi allahu anhum)

Àbdullah bin Umar (radi allahu anhum) narrated: In the lifetime of the Messenger of Allah (salla allahu alaihi wa sallaam),

whosoever saw a dream would report it to the Messenger of Allah (salla allahu alaihi wa sallaam). I wished seeing a dream to report

it to the Prophet (salla allahu alaihi wa sallaam). I was a youth and used to sleep in the mosque in the lifetime of the messenger of

Allah (salla allahu alaihi wa sallaam). I saw in a dream that two angels caught hold of me and took me to the fire which was built all

around like a built well and had two poles in it and the people in it were known to me. I started saying ―I seek refuge with Allah from

the Fire.‖ Then I met another angel who told me not to be afraid. I reported the dream to Hafsah (his sister) who told it to the Mes-

senger of Allah (salla allahu alaihi wa sallaam). The Prophet (salla allahu alaihi wa sallaam) said, ―Abdullah is a good man, if he

performs Tahajjud prayer.‖

Salim said: After that Àbdullah (Salim‘s father) used to sleep but a little at night.

Sahih Bukhari/Sahih Muslim

―Abdullah is a pious man.‖ Bukhari
