Teaching Through Examples:

بسم الله والحمد لله والصلاة والسلام على رسول الله ، وبعد

In the Qur’aan we come across many Aayaat that are arranged in such a way that we, a lot of times, fail to understand the wisdom behind their arrangement. At first glance, we would not be able to make any connections between these different Aayaat, but upon pondering over them again and again, one can appreciate the Wisdom of Allaah سبحانه وتعالى.

A few examples of such pairing of `Aayaat are as follows:
1. Aayaat on Patience paired with Aayah of al-Safa & al-Marwah
2. Aayaah of Du`aa paired with Aayaat on Fasting
3. Aayah on Tawakkal paired with Surah Yusuf

It is like when Allaah تعالى instructed His Prophet and the Believers to be patient, He تعالى gave an example in Patience. And when He تعالى instructed His Prophet and the Believers to trust Him in all our affairs, He تعالى gave an example in Trust.


1. Pairing of Aayaat on Patience with Aayah of al-Safa & al-Marwah:

Right after the Aayaat on al-Sabr, Allaah تعالى mentioned about al-Safa and al-Marwah. Allaah تعالى said: 

What is "al-Hajj al-Akbar"?

 بسم الله والحمد لله والصلاة والسلام على رسول الله ، وبعد

⚡️What is "al-Hajj al-Akbar"?
⚡️Does the reward for al-Hajj increases if it falls on a Friday?

👉PART 1:

🚫 The Weak/Baseless narrations about the "merit" when the Day of al-`Arafah comes on a Friday - which people wrongly consider as "al-Hajj al-Akbar" or that it has special virtues:

1️⃣ “The best day on which the sun has risen is the Day of `Arafah which coincides with Friday, (performing Hajj) in it is better than Seventy Hajjs performed in other days.”
📚 [Silsilah al-Hadeeth al-Dha`eefah (1193, 3144).  Shaikh al-Albaanee said: “This Hadeeth is Baatil (baseless) and has no origin.”]
