ALLAH TA`ALA CURSES THOSE WHO PARTICIPATE IN THIS
“MASS TAHAJJUD”
فَوَیۡلٌ لِّلْمُصَلِّیۡنَ ۙ﴿﴾
﴾ الَّذِیۡنَ ہُمْ عَنۡ صَلَاتِہِمْ سَاہُوۡنَ
﴾ الَّذِیۡنَ ہُمْ یُرَآءُوۡنَ ۙ﴿
Destruction be for those performers of Salaah
…who neglect (to perform) their Salaah…
…those who (when they do any good deed like performing Salaah,) are ostentatious (do it to show off before others)…
In the Qur`aan Majeed, Allah Rabbul Izzat curses those who perform Salaat ostentatiously. This Aayat directly refers to those morons who are calling for a “Mass Tahajjud” at the Rainbow Musjid in Lenasia. The irony here is that the very proponents of this act of Kufr, are the same scoundrels who proudly shut the Musaajid during the dark days of lockdown amidst the so-called Covid-19 plandemic. These are the very same hypocrites who ensured the Musaajid are closed to musallis for the daily Fardh and Jumuah Salaats. Today they are calling for people to come to the Musjid for Tahajjud Salaat!! Tahajjud Salaat is the most noble of all Nawaafil Ibaadaat, which is to be performed in the darkness and remote portions of the home. It is a time of the night when the slave is in secret communion with his/her Rabb. Nabi (sallallahu alaihi wasallam) has advocated that voluntary and supererogatory acts of Ibaadat are to be done so secretly that ‘what the right hand does, the left hand shouldn’t know about it’.
The dua made during the time of Tahajjud is sacred and special. It is a time when the person making dua can open his/her heart to Allah Ta`ala and ask of His Bounties.
In the Qur`aan Majeed, Allah Ta`ala clearly states:
“And call unto your Rabb with humility and softly.”
It is mentioned in a Hadith, “The best dua is (the one made) softly.”
It has also been reported from Nabi (sallallahu alaihi wasallam): “The soft dua equals (is more effective than) seventy duas made loudly.”
All this indicates towards the efficacy of Ibaadat and dua that is made quietly, softly and in secret. The ostentatious “Mass Tahajjud” pantomime and farce is the exact antitheses of supererogatory acts of Ibaadat. It is nothing but a publicity stunt aimed at gaining recognition by the Muslim community to be seen as being sympathetic to the Palestinian cause. Their only aim is to satisfy their inordinate lust for name and fame and to leech public funding.
It is mentioned in a Hadith that any act of Ibaadat which is done to show others, is an act akin to kufr. By executing such acts of ‘ibaadat’ to show others is like ascribing partners to Allah Ta`ala. Ibaadat is now being carried out for others, and not purely for the Pleasure of Allah Ta`ala.
Imaam Tahawi (rahmatullahi alaih) said that besides the 2 rakaats after Zuhr and Maghrib, it is inappropriate to perform all other Sunan (and Nawaafil) in the Musjid.
It is mentioned in Muheet Burhaani that the unanimous view of the Fuqaha is that Sunan and Nawaafil is best performed in the home, based on the Hadith of Nabi (sallallahu alaihi wasallam), “Illuminate your homes with Salaat. Do not make them graveyards.”
It is also stated that every Sunnat and Witr Salaat of Nabi (sallallahu alaihi wasallam) was performed in his house.
Calling Muslims to the Musjid for Tahajjud Salaat was never, ever done at any stage throughout the annals of Islamic history. The deviant ‘ulama’ of this era, like those who organise such haraam events, are most certainly the worst of creation under the canopy of the sky.
Such acts of show like this “Mass Tahajjud”, which are saturated and dripping with hypocrisy and riya (show) have absolutely no benefit for those participating in it neither for the poor Palestinians, in whose name it is ostentatiously being done.
Muslims must take careful note that participation in this mockery of our Deen is not only sinful, but it is a provocation for the Curse of Allah Ta`ala. May Allah Ta`ala guide us to distinguish between Haqq and Baatil, and may He keep us on the Siraatul Mustaqeem.
