What is Ramadan
The fourth pillar of Islam, which is fasting, is practiced during the month of Ramadan. Ramadan is derived from an Arabic word for intense heat and scorched ground. (in Arabic: رمضان, Ramaḍān) – or Ramzan in several countries – and it is the ninth month of the Islamic (Hijri) calendar, established in the year 638 CE. It is considered the most venerated, blessed and spiritually-beneficial month of the Islamic year. Prayers, fasting, charity, and self-accountability are especially stressed at this time; religious observances associated with Ramadan are kept throughout the month.
“Ramadan is the month during which the Quran was revealed, providing guidance for the people, clear teachings, and the statute book. Those of you who witness this month shall fast therein. Those who are ill or traveling may substitute the same number of other days. Allah wishes for you convenience, not hardship, that you may fulfill your obligations, and to glorify Allah for guiding you, and to express your appreciation.”[2:185]
The most holy night during the Ramadan, Laylat al-Qadr (Night of Power). It has more blessing than a thousand months. the Quran Chapter 97
Who is Shiekh Yaqob ?
The Sheikh’s name is Abu ‘Alala’ Muhammad ibn Hussain ibn Yaqub, Al-Salafi. He was born in 1375 A.H. (1956 C.E.) in the Matimdiyah area of Imbaba, in the governorate of Giza in Egypt.
His father (may Allah have mercy upon him) was a righteous Muslim (we consider him as such, but we do not honor anyone more than we do Allah). He was one of the founders of The Matimdiyah Islamic Association for Muslims to Unite Efforts to Act according to the Qur’an and the Prophet Muhammad’s Sunnah. He was a Da’iyah (Caller) to Islam, and followed the Sunnah throughout his life He was courteous, kindhearted, loved by the people of his hometown, and endeavored to achieve conciliation as much as he could. He established a society to reconcile disputants, helped by his maternal uncle, Sheikh ‘Abdul ‘Aziz Al-Says. He continued to give the Friday Khutbah (sermon) in the different the governorates of Egypt for fifty years, never missing a single Friday (may Allah have mercy upon him). He also went to masjids giving daily religious classes. He gave a regular class in Fiqh (Islamic jurisprudence) at the Jama’iyyah Shari’ah Masjid in Matimdiyah and another class giving general advice and reminders, until he passed away on 20 Sha’ban, 1420 A.H.
He obtained a Teaching Diploma in 1967 and married before he was twenty years of age, he then traveled to Saudi Arabia from 1401 to 1495 A.H. This period was the time when the Sheikh truly started seeking Islamic knowledge.
Sheikh Yaqub came back to Egypt, although he returned to Saudi Arabia every now and again while he was working to seek further knowledge. His last trip to Saudi Arabia to seek knowledge was in 1411 A.H., when he spent a year traveling between Riyadh and Qusaym.
Sheikh Yaqub memorized the whole Qur’an at an early age in the local Kutaab (a traditional religious class), under Sheikh Mahmoud Tulbah initially then later under Sheikh ‘Abdul ‘Aziz Al-Fayyumi. He then worked in the Information Center for the Prophet’s Sunnah, which was one of the first centers that started putting the Prophet’s Hadith onto computers. This time gave the Sheikh chance to read the volumes of recorded Sunnah, especially the Six Books of the Sunnah, which increased his religious knowledge. He participated in the entering of the data from thirty-six books of the Sunnah onto computers; not just entering the data, but also numbering the Hadith from “Sahih Muslim” and “Musnad Ahmed”. He also checked all the Hadith in these books for accuracy and classification.
From the beginning Sheikh Yaqub paid special attention to books of scholars such as Ibn Al-Jawzi, the Sheikh of Islam Ibn Taymiyyah and his pupil Ibn Al-Qayyim, Al-Dahabi, and others. It is for this reason that you will find him recommending the books of all those scholars, particularly “Sayd Al-Khatir” and “Al-Tabsirah” by Ibn Al-Jawzi, and “Madarij As-Salikin” and “Tariq Al-Hijratayn” by Ibn Al-Qayyim, and “Sayr A’lam Al-Nubala’” by Al-Dhabi. It is said that these books should be available in the home of every seeker of Islamic knowledge.
