Takbeer Tashreeq

 

Story behind the Takbeer Tashreeq

 

Takbeer Tashreeq is the recitation of "Allaahu akbar, La ilaaha [illa Allaahu] Wallaahu akbar, Allaahu akbar wa lillaahil hamd" after every fardh salaah commencing from the Fajr of the 9th of Dhul Hijah until after Asr of the 13th of Dhul Hijjah. (Shami vol. 1 pg. 406)

 

When Ibrahim (AS) began moving the knife on his beloved son, Ismaeel (AS), the angels sent by Allah with a ram exclaimed, "Allahu akbar, Allahu akbar (Allah is the greatest, Allah is the greatest)."

 

Ibrahim (AS) heard the voice of the angels and replied, "La illaah illa Allaahu Wallaahu akbar (There is no god besides Allah, and Allah is the greatest)."

 

His son Ismaeel (AS) heard this conversation and understood that Allah had relieved him from this great trial, thus he replied, "Allaahu Akbar Wa lillaahil hamd (Allah is the greatest, and to Allah belongs all praise)." (Ibid)

TASHREEQ MADE EASY

Allahu Akbar, Allahu Akbar,

Laillaha illallaah,

wallahu Akbar,

Allahu Akbar, Allahu Akbar,

Walillaahi Hamd

 

This is the Takbeer Tshreeq. It is read after every Fardh Salaat from the 9th Zil Hajj until the 13th Zil Hajj.
 

 

Four aspects need discussion:

1. Order

2. Method

3. Condition

4. Wajib.

 

1) It is Wajib (Compulsory) to read the Takbeer Tashreeq.

2) To read the Takbeer Tashreeq 3 times is better.

3) There are 3 conditions:

a. To be a ‘Muqeen’ (a resident);

b. To be in a town/city;

c. To be read immediately after the Fardh Salaah.

d. [To be well.]

 

4) Takberaat is not Wajib on a traveller, for those in the village, women or those performing Salaat alone.
 

5) If these people follow an Imaam upon whom Takberaat is necessary, they will also follow suit.
 

6) If the ‘Musafir’ (traveller) and/or woman and/or one performing Salaat alone, read it then that is better as per ‘Sahibain’.
 

7) Women should read it softy even if they have made ‘Jamaat Salaat’ on their own.
8) Men recite it audibly.
 

9) If women performed behind an Imaam who made intention of leading them, then it is Wajib for them to read Takberaat.
 

10) Takberaat is not Wajib after a Salaat that is not Fardh Ein (like Witr, Eid Ghah, Nafl, Sunnat, Salaat Janaza, etc.)
 

11) Takberaat is Wajib after Jumuah.
 

12) It is permissible to read after Eid-ul-Adhaa because, according to some, it is Wajib.
 

13) Because it is performed in Jamaat and this action has the status ‘Tawatthur’ (continuity without break) thus to follow this is Waijb.
 

14) It is Wajib on the Mazbooq (latecomer) and Laahiq (one who starts the Salaah, then the Salaah breaks and he misses one or more Rakaats, and then he re-joins the Salaah.)
 

15) The Takberaat will be read after they have completed their Salaat and not with the Imaam when he reads the Takberaat.
 

16) If they read it after the Imaam reads it then their Salaat will be valid for it is ‘Zikr’ and then they do not have to repeat the Takberaat after completion of their own Salaat.
 

17) If a person is performing a Nafl behind an Imaam who is leading a Fardh then it will be Wajib for that person to read the Takberaat.
 

18) If a ‘Muqeem’ is following a ‘Musafir’ then it (the Takberaat) is Wajib on the Muqeem although it is not Wajib on the Masafir Imaam.
 

19) It is not Wajib on a villager or Musafir who follows someone upon whom the Takberaat is Wajib like a Muqeem.
 

20) Also it is not Wajib on the sick to read the Takberaat if they make Jamaat for it is necessary for the Muqeem to be well.

 

TIME:

 

1) This Takberaat is from the Fajr of the 9th Zil Hajj till the Asr of the 13th Zil Hijjah.

2) Thus 23 Salaat in total.

3) This Takbeer has to be said immediately after the Fardh Salaat.

4) Meaning as long as the person does not do such an act that negates ‘Binaa’ e.g. intentionally or mistakenly speaking, intentional breaking Wudhu (going to toilet) or left the Masjid, then the Takberaat does not lapse.

5) If the Imaam leaves out the Takbeer then the followers should read it, for it is Wajib…

6) It is permissible for the follower to commence reading the Takberaat before the Imaam but Mustahab for the Imaam to start.

7) If the Imaam forgets then the followers should read immediately and should not wait for the Imaam to start.

8) The followers should wait for as long as the Imaam does not do an act which will not allow him to do ‘Binaa’ – (see point 4).

9) If one misses any Salaat in the Days of Tashreeq and performs the Qadha of that Salaat within the Days of Tashreeq then one will read the Takberaat.

10) If one misses any Salaat in the Days of Tashreeq and performs the Qadha of that Salaat outside the Days of Tashreeq then one not does read the Takberaat.
