The shariah does not in anyway or form encourages divorce. There are things that people say in order to show that men have gotten mashismo. They will tell him “ If she does anything, (you don’t like) just divorce her and send her back to her father's house. They usually quote the saying that; “the base rule about Tolaq is that it is permissible”.

People who say these things have not actually gone through the process of Islamic Jurisprudence. And shallow or half knowledge is usually dangerous than when an individual admits that he does not know.

The Shariah does not encourage divorce. And these are things that you also know.

Number 1; The prophet (Alayhi Salaam) told us (in an hadeeth), that Shaytan will send down his armies to cause desertion on the earth. And when they return to him, Each of them will tell him what he has done. But he will tell them “you didn’t do anything”. Then one of them will come (and say): ‘I did not leave him (husband) until i cause desertion between him and his wife.’ Then Iblees himself is going to embrace him and say: ‘Nimah anta’ (You have done excellently well).

So where did we see the prophet (Alayhi Salaam) actively encouraging divorce?

Secondly; When Aisha (Radiyallahu Anha), sat with the prophet (Salallaahu Alayhi Wa Salaam) and they were discussing. The hadith of Umm Zar that is very popular. And she mentioned how she told the other women about her husband; Aboo Zar. How he cared and spent on her and ultimately divorced her.
What did the prophet tell Aisha? He said “I am your Aboo Zar with the exception that I will not divorce you.”

Even the man that came complaining to the prophet (Alayhi Salaam), saying ‘My wife is loose when dealing with men’. The prophet told him to divorce her. But the man added that “I can't do without her”. Then the Prophet replied that: “keep her with you.”

So anyone who mentions divorce at any given instance is not doing the Ummah any good.

Questioner: I have now realised that the favour Allaah bestowed on me by being able to observe Tahajjud and also recite the Quran has diminished. What should I do?

It’s (the acts) not something that suddenly becomes uneasy to do. It might be that you are doing it in a manner that will make it difficult for you to be consistent with them. Because if you observe these acts of ibadah extremely, because of how healthy you are without considering that your body might need rest at some point, you will eventually abandon the act of worship.

The Prophet (Salallahu Alayhi Wa Salaam) said: "Verily, this religion is easy. No one will make it hard on himself except that he will be overwhelmed by it." The religion will remain while you will be long gone.

Therefore, you should be easy on yourself. You should do the (acts of worship) that you are capable of and the ones we know we are not capable yet, we shouldn’t indulge them so that it does not become what will make us dislike the overall act of worship.

If you have mandated yourself to finish the recitation of the whole Quran in a day, you might succeed on the first try and even make it on the second attempt, but you might surely struggle in your third attempt. You will no longer find it easy and in fact, you might not even want to come close to the Quran, talkless of reciting it.

And you won’t be able to blame anyone but yourself.

So, you should approach things nicely and easily. This is how Allaah has created humans. If you approach things with ease, your soul will get used to the acts of worship for a long period of time. But if you force yourself on it, it won’t last because you will abandon them and eventually dislike doing them.

The forthcoming Eid will fall on Yaomul Jumuah. So when it (Eid) falls on Yaomul Jumuah, we will observe Solatul Eid and we will also observe Solatul Jumuah. We will observe both.

This is the most prominent opinion among the scholars, and we have authored a book specifically on the matter.

Several studies conducted as revealed that Eid falling on the day of Jumuah does not prevent us from observing Solatul Jumuah. Leniency has only been put in place for those who came from very far places to observe the Solatul Eid so that they shouldn’t have to come back to observe Solatul Jumuah on the same day.

For example, someone coming from Lagos to Ogbomosho to observe the Solatul Eid. After Eid, the Imaam can tell the congregations that have come from faraway places to return to their abodes, and when it's time for Solatul Jumuah, they should observe Solatul Dhur.

Therefore, if the Eid falls on the day of Jumuah, we will observe Eid and observe Solatul Jumuah as well.

Is there any special reward for that? Except that it was a sunnah the Prophet (Alayhi Salaam) performed. The prophet did it. Bilal did it.

Many of the companions did it. And Aisha likes to do it. So if you like to do it because Aisha likes to do it, that is lawful.

But to say there is a particular reward connected to it, that is what whoever wants to do that kind of thing will have to look for. As for me, I have not heard from any of the scholars or read from any of the (Islamic) sources that there are particular special reward for observing 2 units of prayer inside the Ka’bah.
