The General Iftaa` Department Commends the Decisive Security Operation: Jordan is Impervious to Terrorism and Terrorists

 

The General Iftaa` Department commends the major security achievement of all our security agencies in apprehending the perpetrators of the cowardly terrorist attack that struck Karak Governorate. This highly coordinated operation reaffirms that Jordan possesses highly ready, vigilant, and capable security services, and that the long arm of the law can reach anyone who attempts to compromise national security and stability.

The Department expresses its profound appreciation and pride in the courage, professionalism, and high competence demonstrated by the security agencies in handling this terrorist crime—tracking down, locating, and arresting its perpetrators. This stance reaffirms that the security of Jordanians and the protection of their lives and property constitute a red line that will not be crossed or compromised.

This security achievement sends a clear and decisive message to anyone tempted to target Jordan or terrorize its people: no criminal will escape justice, terror will never prevail over the authority of the state, and Jordan will remain impervious to all attempts at sabotage, sedition, and extremist ideology.

The Department affirms that this terrorist crime, which targeted innocent people, has absolutely no connection to Islam. Taking a life that Allah has made sacred, terrorizing peaceful citizens, and attacking people or places of worship are heinous crimes strictly forbidden by the Sharīʿah and condemned on both humanitarian and moral grounds.

The Department salutes the Nashāmā (the valiant personnel) of the Jordanian Armed Forces (the Arab Army), the Public Security Directorate, the General Intelligence Department, and all other security agencies, as well as everyone who contributed to this operation and the ongoing efforts to protect the homeland. It affirms that their dedication serves as Jordan's impregnable shield and fortress against terrorism, extremism, and crime.

The Department further affirms that Jordan—under its wise Hashemite leadership, sustained by the awareness and cohesion of its people, and protected by the strength of its military and security institutions—will always prevail over terrorism and its adherents. The nation's security, stability, and national unity will forever remain paramount, rising above all other considerations.

The Department reaffirms its unwavering solidarity with His Majesty King Abdullah II ibn al-Hussein and our military and security institutions in protecting Jordan and safeguarding its security and stability. It prays to Allah the Almighty to protect our beloved homeland, grant mercy to our nation's fallen heroes, grant swift healing to the wounded, and continue to bless Jordan with enduring peace and safety. May Allah protect Jordan and its Hashemite leadership, preserve the Nashāmā of our security and military forces, and keep this homeland impervious to all terrorism, sedition, and tampering.

Summarized Fatawaa

What is the ruling of Islamic Law on supplicating with other than the transmitted (Ma'thur) supplications in prayer?

All praise is due to Allah, and peace and blessings be upon our master, the Messenger of Allah.
It is permissible to supplicate (make du'a) during the prayer for anything from the affairs of religion or worldly life, and the prayer is not invalidated by doing so.
Shaykh al-Islam, the Imam an-Nawawi, may Allah have mercy on him, says: "Our madhhab [i.e., the Shafi'i madhhab] holds that it is permissible for a person to supplicate during it [the prayer] with anything that is permissible to supplicate with outside the prayer, from the affairs of religion or worldly life. He may say: 'O Allah, grant me wholesome sustenance, offspring, a house, and a beautiful young wife' — describing her; or: 'O Allah, free so-and-so from prison,' or 'destroy so-and-so,' and other such things — and none of this invalidates his prayer according to us. And this is also the view of Malik, ath-Thawri, Abu Thawr, and Ishaq." [Al-Majmu', Vol.3/P.454]. And Allah, the Exalted, knows best.

What is the ruling of Islamic Law on following the actions of the imam in prayer and how this following is achieved?

Praise be to Allah, and peace and blessings be upon our master, the Messenger of Allah.
The follower (ma'mum) is required to follow his imam in the actions of the prayer. This "following" (mutaba'ah) means that the follower performs each action of the prayer after the imam has begun it but before he has finished it. For example, the follower bows (in ruku') after the imam has reached the position of bowing, then rises after the imam has risen. The Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, said: "The imam is only appointed to be followed, so when he says the takbir, say the takbir; and when he bows, then bow; and when he prostrates, then prostrate" (agreed upon, i.e., reported by both al-Bukhari and Muslim).
It is stated in Mughni al-Muhtaj (1/505): "Among the conditions of valid congregational prayer (iqtida') is following the imam in the actions of the prayer... meaning that following the imam is obligatory in the physical actions of the prayer, not in its verbal utterances... Complete following (kamal al-mutaba'ah) is achieved when the follower's beginning of an action comes after the imam's beginning of that same action, while the follower's beginning of the action precedes the imam's completion of it" — end of quote, with slight paraphrasing.
And Allah, the Exalted, knows best.

What is the difference between Qiyam al-Layl and Tahajjud?

● Qiyam al-Layl refers to any voluntary prayer performed at night, including Tarawih.
● Tahajjud specifically refers to voluntary prayer performed at night after waking up from sleep.
Glad tidings to those who combine both, as numerous Quranic verses and hadiths mention their virtues.
Allah Almighty says {what means}: "And rise from thy sleep and pray during part of the night [as well], as a free offering from thee, and thy Sustainer may well raise thee to a glorious station [in the life to come." [Al-Isra`/79]
The Prophetﷺ said: "Whoever stands (in prayer) during Ramadan with faith and seeking reward, all their past sins will be forgiven." [Agreed upon]

How do I deal with whispers (waswasa) in ablution and purification?

Whispers in ablution are from Satan, and the Muslim should not pay attention to them. He is not required to re-perform ablution or repeat washing a limb because of waswasa. He should always base his purification on its being valid. It is recommended for him to frequently say "La ilaha illa Allah" (There is no god but Allah), because Satan recoils when Allah is mentioned. And Allah the Almighty knows best.
