Sunnah of the Day – Sunnahs on Awakening

Sunnah on Waking Up

SUNNATS UPON AWAKENING

1. Immediately upon awakening rub the face and the eyes with both the palms in order to remove
the effects of sleep. ( Shamaaile Tirmidhi )
2. When the eyes open in the morning recite this dua:
Dua on Waking Up
Trans: All praise is due to Allah who brought us to life after having granted us death and to Him
will we be resurrected. (Bukhari, Abu Dawood, Muslim)
3. When awakening from sleep cleanse the mouth with a Miswaak. (Musnad Ahmad, Abu Dawoodpg.8 )
4. The use of the Miswaak should be repeated when making Wudhu. Using the Miswaak upon
awakening is a separate Sunnat . (Bazlul Majhood,“Commentary of Abu Dawood” Vol.1 pg.35 )
5. When wearing one’s trousers, first put on the right leg, then the left one. When putting on a
kurta or shirt, first put on the right sleeve and then the left one. The same procedure should be
followed when wearing a vest. When wearing a shoe, first put on the right shoe. When removing
any garment or shoe, first remove the left, then the right.This is the sunnat method when
removing any garment from the body (Bukhari, Tirmidhi “ the chapter on clothing” and
Shamaaile Tirmidhi )
6. Before immersing the hands into any utensils, wash them thrice thoroughly. ( Tirmidhi ‐ Vol. 1,
pg. 13).

Leaders in Islam!

The Janazah of Khawaja Bakhtiyar Kaki Rahmatullahi Alaih was ready for Namaz e Janaza. The khadim-e-khas of Khwaja Sahab came forward and announced that according to the will of  Khawaja the funeral prayer (salat-ul-janazah) is to be led by the person who fulfills these 3 requirements:

1. He should have never laid eyes on any unrelated women (non-mehram) after reaching puberty.

2. He should have never missed the 4 rakat of sunnah-prayer (ghair-muakkidah) before asr salah.

3. Because of the fear and awe of Allah, he never looked upwards towards heavens.

The huge crowd stood still. All the Awliya of Dehli and Shaykh’s senior khulafa were there. No one came forward. TheKhadim repeatedly announced the requirements. But there was no response. A sense of impatience was being felt.

Finally, The Sultan of Delhi , Sultan Shamusddin Altamash (Allah have mercy on him) stepped forward.

He remarked, “No one knew my secret, the respected Khawaja  disclosed it. All praise is for Allah, I fullfil these criteria”.

He then led the prayers.

Command of Beard

Recently, a sticker was published from Khanqah Imdadia Ashrafia by the call of Hazratwala (Shaikh ul Arab Wal Ajam, Arif Billah Hazrat Maulana Shah Hakeem Muhammad Akhtar Saheb damat barkartuhum), about the importance of beard in shariah and clarifying a common misunderstanding with regards to the law pertaining to the beard. It states:

COMMAND OF BEARD

To keep beard equal to one fist in length is not just Sunnah, but it is Wajib(Mandatory).
To shave beard or trim it less than one fist length is HARAM (strictly prohibited).
(Behisti Zewar, Chapter 11, Page 115)

Beard should be of one’s own fist length from all three sides (right, left and below the chin)
