Keir Starmer

Sir Keir Starmer KCB QC (born 2 September 1962) is a British politician and barrister serving as the Member of Parliament (MP) for Holborn and St Pancras since 2015. A member of the Labour Party, he is currently shadow Brexit secretary in the shadow cabinet. He was Director of Public Prosecutions and head of the Crown Prosecution Service (CPS) from 2008 to 2013.[1]

After qualifying for the bar, he acted exclusively as a defence lawyer specialising in human rights issues.[2] He was appointed Queen's Counsel (QC) in 2002 and Knight Commander of the Order of the Bath (KCB) in the 2014 New Year Honours. He was sworn in as a Privy Councillor on 19 July 2017
Keir Starmer was born in Southwark on 2 September 1962.[4] Starmer was the second of four children of Josephine (née Baker), a nurse, and Rod Starmer, a toolmaker.[5] He was named after the first Labour MP, Keir Hardie.[6] He passed the 11-plus examination and gained entry to Reigate Grammar School,[6] then a voluntary aided school. He studied law at the University of Leeds and graduated with a first class Bachelor of Laws (LLB) degree in 1985. He then undertook postgraduate studies at St Edmund Hall, Oxford, and graduated from the University of Oxford with a Bachelor of Civil Law (BCL) degree in 1986.[7]

Legal career
Starmer became a barrister in 1987. He advised Helen Steel and David Morris in the McLibel case, which went to court in 1997. In an interview, he described the case as "very much a David and Goliath", and said that "there's an extremely good legal team acting for McDonalds at great expense and Dave and Helen have had to act for themselves with me as a sort of free back up whenever possible." He was also interviewed for McLibel, the documentary about the case directed by Franny Armstrong and Ken Loach.[8] He was appointed Queen's Counsel in 2002, and was joint head of his chambers, Doughty Street Chambers.

Starmer was a human rights adviser to the Northern Ireland Policing Board and the Association of Chief Police Officers. He is a member of the Foreign Secretary's Death Penalty Advisory Panel. In 2007, he was named "QC of the Year".[9]

Director of Public Prosecutions
On 25 July 2008, the Attorney General, Patricia Scotland, named Starmer as the next head of the CPS, to take over from Ken Macdonald on 1 November 2008.[1] Macdonald, himself a former defence lawyer, welcomed the appointment. While in office, he was viewed as a Labour supporter.[6]

On 22 July 2010, Starmer announced the decision not to prosecute the police officer Simon Harwood in relation to the death of Ian Tomlinson; this led to accusations by Tomlinson's family of a police cover-up.[10] After an inquest found that Mr Tomlinson had been unlawfully killed, Starmer announced that Harwood would be prosecuted for manslaughter. In July 2012 he was acquitted, but he was dismissed from the police in September 2012.[11][12][13]

On 3 February 2012, Starmer announced that the energy secretary, Chris Huhne and his former wife, Vicky Pryce would be prosecuted for perverting the course of justice. Huhne became the first Cabinet minister in British history to be compelled to resign as a result of criminal proceedings.[14] Starmer had previously said in relation to the case that "[w]here there is sufficient evidence we do not shy away from prosecuting politicians".[15]

In the summer of 2012, Nick Cohen, a journalist, published allegations that Starmer was personally responsible for the continued prosecution of Paul Chambers, an airline passenger who, frustrated at airport delays, had posted a joke about Doncaster Sheffield Airport on Twitter. In the case known as the "Twitter Joke Trial" Chambers had been convicted of sending a message "of a menacing character". However, the CPS said the decision was out of Starmer's hands as it was a Crown Court decision.[16]

He left office on 1 November 2013 and was replaced by Alison Saunders.[17][18]

In December 2013, the Labour Party announced that Starmer would lead an enquiry into changing the law to give further protection to victims in cases of rape and child abuse.[19] On 28 December, Starmer said to BBC News, "Well, I'm back in private practice; I'm rather enjoying having some free time, and I'm considering a number of options".[20]

Political career
Starmer was selected on 13 December 2014 as the Labour Party's prospective parliamentary candidate for the constituency of Holborn and St Pancras, following the decision of the sitting MP Frank Dobson to stand down.[21] Starmer was elected at the 2015 general election with a majority of 17,048.[22]

He was urged by activists to stand to be leader of the Labour Party in the 2015 leadership election following the resignation of Ed Miliband, but he ruled out doing so, citing his lack of political experience.[23][24] During the campaign, Keir Starmer supported Andy Burnham.[25]

Jeremy Corbyn appointed Starmer as a shadow Home Office minister on 18 September 2015.[26] On 27 June 2016 he resigned as shadow minister in protest over the leadership of the Labour Party, and supported Owen Smith in the September 2016 Labour Party leadership election.[27][28]

On 6 October 2016, Starmer was appointed by Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn as shadow Brexit secretary, replacing Emily Thornberry in this role.[29] Starmer resigned from a consultancy position with the law firm specialising in human rights (Mishcon de Reya LLP) that acted for Gina Miller in bringing legal proceedings against the Brexit secretary.[30] Starmer has used his position as shadow Brexit secretary to question the government's "destination" for Britain outside the European Union, as well as calling for the government's Brexit plan to be released. On 6 December 2016, Prime Minister Theresa May confirmed the government would do this, in what was portrayed as a victory for Starmer.[31]

Political views and positions
Starmer has questioned whether the victory for "leave" in the 2016 European Union membership referendum was a mandate for a so-called "hard Brexit", which would see the UK leave the European Single Market and not just the Political union itself.[32] He said that Theresa May together with the government would be subject to a race against time to pass a large number of new laws, or risk an "unsustainable legal vacuum", if Britain left the EU without a deal.[33] On 25 September 2018, he announced to the Labour Party Conference in Liverpool that "campaigning [by the party] for a public vote must be an option".[34]

Personal life
Starmer married Victoria Alexander, a solicitor, in 2007, and has a son and daughter.[5]

He was awarded a knighthood in 2014 for "services to law and criminal justice" and is therefore entitled to be known as "Sir Keir Starmer". Although he accepted the knighthood he prefers not to be called Sir.[35][36]

Honours
Appointed Queen's Counsel (QC) in 2002.[37]
Bar Council’s Sydney Elland Goldsmith Award for his outstanding contribution to pro bono work in challenging the death penalty in 2005.[38]
Appointed Knight Commander of the Order of the Bath (KCB) in the 2014 New Year Honours for "services to law and criminal justice".[39][40]
Sworn of the Privy Council of the United Kingdom on 19 July 2017.[3]
Elected Honorary Fellow of St. Edmund Hall, Oxford in 2019

FTSE 100

The Financial Times Stock Exchange 100 Index, also called the FTSE 100 Index, FTSE 100, FTSE, or, informally, the "Footsie" /ˈfʊtsi/, is a share index of the 100 companies listed on the London Stock Exchange with the highest market capitalisation. It is seen as a gauge of prosperity for businesses regulated by UK company law. The index is maintained by the FTSE Group, a subsidiary of the London Stock Exchange Group.
Overview
The index is maintained by the FTSE Group, a now wholly owned subsidiary of the London Stock Exchange which originated as a joint venture between the Financial Times and the London Stock Exchange. It is calculated in real time and published every second when the market is open.

The FTSE 100 broadly consists of the largest 100 qualifying UK companies by full market value.[2] The total market value of a company is calculated by multiplying the share price of the company by the total number of shares they have issued.[3] Many of these are internationally focused companies, however, so the index's movements are a fairly weak indicator of how the UK economy is faring and are significantly affected by the exchange rates of the Pound.[4] A better indication of the UK economy is the FTSE 250 Index, as it contains a smaller proportion of international companies.[5]

FTSE 100 companies represent about 81% of the entire market capitalisation of the London Stock Exchange. Even though the FTSE All-Share Index is more comprehensive, the FTSE 100 is by far the most widely used UK stock market indicator. Other related indices are the FTSE 250 Index (which includes the next largest 250 companies after the FTSE 100), the FTSE 350 Index (which is the aggregation of the FTSE 100 and 250), FTSE SmallCap Index and the FTSE Fledgling Index. The FTSE All-Share aggregates the FTSE 100, FTSE 250 and FTSE SmallCap.

Component companies must meet a number of requirements set out by the FTSE Group, including having a full listing on the London Stock Exchange with a Sterling or Euro denominated price on the Stock Exchange Electronic Trading Service, and meeting certain tests on nationality, free float, and liquidity.

Continuous trading on the London Stock Exchange starts at 08:00 and ends at 16:30 (when the closing auction starts), and closing values are taken at 16:35.

Weighting
In the FTSE indices, share prices are weighted by free-float capitalisation, so that the larger companies, with more of their stock "floating", make more of a difference to the index than smaller companies. The basic formula for these indices is:

Derby County

Derby County Football Club (/ˈdɑːrbi/) is a professional association football club based in Derby, Derbyshire, England. The club competes in the EFL Championship, the second tier of English football, and has played its home matches at Pride Park Stadium since 1997.

Notable for being one of the 12 founder members of the Football League in 1888, Derby County is one of only 10 clubs to have competed in every season of the English football league system and, in 2009, was ranked 137th in the top 200 European football teams of the 20th century by the International Federation of Football History & Statistics.[2]

The club was founded in 1884 by William Morley, as an offshoot of Derbyshire County Cricket Club; it has spent all but four seasons in the top two divisions of English football. Its competitive peak came in the 1970s when it twice won the First Division and competed in major European competitions on four separate occasions, reaching the European Cup semi-finals as well as winning several minor trophies. Additionally, the club was a strong force in the interwar years, winning the 1945–46 FA Cup.

The club's home colours have been black and white since the 1890s. The team gets its nickname, The Rams, to show tribute to its links with the First Regiment of Derby Militia, which took a ram as its mascot. Additionally adopting the song "The Derby Ram" as its regimental song.
Beginning and early success
Derby County F.C. was formed in 1884 as an offshoot of Derbyshire County Cricket Club in an attempt to give players and supporters a winter interest as well as secure the cricket club extra revenue. The original intention was to name the club "Derbyshire County F.C." to highlight the link, though the Derbyshire FA, formed in 1883, objected on the grounds it was too long and therefore would not have been understood by the fans who may mistake it for a Derbyshire FA team. Playing their home matches at the cricket club's Racecourse Ground, 1884–85 saw the club undertake an extensive programme of friendly matches, the first of which was a 6–0 defeat to Great Lever on 13 September 1884. The club's first competitive match came in the 1885 FA Cup, where they lost 7–0 at home to Walsall Town.

Arguably the most important match in the club's history came in the following season's FA Cup, when a 2–0 victory over Aston Villa, already an emerging force in English football, helped establish Derby County on the English football map, helping the club to attract better opposition for friendlies and, in 1888, an invitation into the inaugural Football League. The opening day of the first ever league season was 8 September 1888, when Derby came from 3–0 down away to Bolton Wanderers to win 6–3, though the club ultimately finished 10th out of 12 teams. In 1891, they absorbed another Derby club, Derby Midland, which had been a member of the Midland League, leaving them as Derby's sole professional football club. Steve Bloomer, generally considered to be Derby County's best-ever player, joined the club in 1892. In 1895, the club moved to a new stadium, the Baseball Ground (so called because it was previously used for baseball), which became their home for the next 102 years. It was then that the club adopted their now traditional home colours of black and white.

Although Derby were inconsistent in the league, they finished as runners-up to Aston Villa in 1896, as well as achieved a number of third-place finishes. They were a strong force in the FA Cup, appearing in three finals in six years around the turn of the 20th century, though lost all three, in 1898 (3–1 to Nottingham Forest),[4] 1899 (4–1 to Sheffield United)[5] and 1903 (6–0 to Bury).[6]

Edwardian and interwar era
In 1906, Steve Bloomer was sold to Middlesbrough due to financial constraints, and Derby subsequently suffered its first ever relegation the following season,[7] but under Jimmy Methven's management, they re-signed Bloomer and regained their First Division place in 1911.[7] In 1914, they were again relegated, but instantly won the Second Division to earn promotion,[7] though World War I meant they had to wait until 1919 to play First Division football again. After two seasons, they were relegated yet again in 1921. However, the appointment of George Jobey in 1925 kick-started a successful period for the Rams and, after promotion in 1926,[7] the club became a formidable force, with high finishes from the late 1920s and all through the 1930s,[7] including finishing as runners-up twice.
Derby were one of several clubs to close down after the outbreak of World War II but restarted in the early 1940s, in part due to the persistence of Jack Nicholas and Jack Webb. Aided by the recruitment of Raich Carter and Peter Doherty, who had both been stationed in Loughborough during the war, Derby were one step ahead of the opposition when competitive football resumed with the 1946 FA Cup and won their first major trophy with a 4–1 victory over Charlton Athletic.[8]

Post-war success and decline
The league restarted the following season after a break due to World War II and, under the management of Stuart McMillan, as well as twice breaking the British transfer record to sign Billy Steel and Johnny Morris to replace Carter and Doherty, finished fourth and third in the 1948 and 1949 seasons respectively, before a steady decline set in and the club was relegated in 1953, after nearly 30 years in the top flight, and again in 1955 to drop to the third tier of English football for the first time in their history.[7] Harry Storer led Derby back into the second tier at the second attempt in 1957, though the club progressed no further over the next decade under either Storer or his successor, former Derby player Tim Ward.

Brian Clough era
In 1967, Brian Clough and Peter Taylor took over and led them to their greatest glory. Having clinched the influential signing of Dave Mackay, Derby were promoted to the First Division in 1969, finished fourth in 1970,[7] were banned from competing in Europe due to financial irregularities in 1971 and won their first ever Football League Championship in 1972.[7] Though Derby did not retain their title the following season, they did reach the semi-finals of the European Cup, where they lost to Juventus. Clough's frequent outspoken comments against football's establishment eventually led to him falling out with the board of directors at the club, and Clough and Taylor left in October 1973. Such was their impact on the club that, 37 years later, a 9 ft (2.75 metres) bronze statue of the pair was erected outside Pride Park in commemoration of their legacy.[9]

Success and decline after Clough
Despite the departure of Clough and Taylor, Derby's League success was repeated in the 1974–75 season when they won the title under successor Dave Mackay, who had been a player under Clough when they had returned to the top flight in 1969. However, Derby's form declined towards the end of the 1970s and they went down to the Second Division in 1980 after a string of managers, including former Manchester United boss Tommy Docherty, unsettled the club trying desperately to maintain its place at the top of the First Division. Though they challenged well in their first season, Derby were soon hit hard by rising debts, falling attendances and dismal performances. Peter Taylor returned to the Baseball Ground as manager in early 1983 and kept Derby up that season, but he retired a year later just before Derby's relegation to the Third Division for only the second time in their history. However, Derby did manage to avoid going out of business, and they were soon under the ownership of wealthy businessman Robert Maxwell.
1980s revival and promotion to Premier League
After relegation to the Third Division in May 1984, the club appointed Arthur Cox as manager. Although they missed out on promotion in Cox's first season as manager, they then won back-to-back promotions and were back in the First Division for the 1987–88 season, with attendances also rising as the club's on-the-field fortunes and financial position improved. The financial backing of new chairman Robert Maxwell saw stars such as Peter Shilton, Mark Wright, Dean Saunders, Trevor Hebberd and Ted McMinn brought to the club and they finished fifth in the 1988–89 season.

A lack of any further investment from Maxwell quickly led to a decline, culminating in relegation back to the Second Division in 1991. At this time, local newspaper businessman Lionel Pickering became the majority shareholder of the club, taking control just before Maxwell's death in November 1991. In 1992, Derby County paid £2.5 million for Notts County central defender Craig Short, at the time – and for five years afterwards – the most expensive player to be signed by a club outside the top flight, and indeed one of the highest fees paid by any English club for a player at the time. Other expensive signings included strikers Tommy Johnson and Marco Gabbiadini. Cox's resignation as manager in October 1993 saw the appointment of legendary former player Roy McFarland as manager. Derby reached the final of the Division One playoffs that season, but were beaten by local rivals Leicester City. McFarland was sacked a year later after Derby missed out on the playoffs, and his replacement was Jim Smith – a manager whose track record at his previous clubs included four promotions and an FA Cup semi-final appearance.

Although the 1995–96 season started slowly, the signing of sweeper Igor Štimac in the early autumn proved pivotal. Smith guided the Rams to a second-place finish and the Premier League, now the top flight of English football. During that season, it was announced Derby would be leaving the Baseball Ground after more than 100 years to move into a new all-seater stadium, following earlier plans to develop the Baseball Ground as a 26,000-seat stadium.[10]

After finishing in 12th place in their first season back into the top flight, the club left the Baseball Ground, its home of 102 years, to move into the new 33,597-seat Pride Park Stadium for the 1997–98 season. The Baseball Ground was demolished six years later and a memorial was eventually erected in memory of its role in Derby city history.[11]

Relegation from top flight and financial crisis
The club settled well into its new home as it recorded back-to-back top 10 finishes for the first time since their 1970s peak, before a sudden decline at the turn of the millennium saw three years of struggle. Smith resigned to be replaced by former players Colin Todd, who lasted just three months, and John Gregory before the Rams were relegated after a six-year stay in the top flight, in 2002.

Derby County's relegation saw the club enter a serious financial crisis, which forced them to sell many key players. Gregory was later suspended from his managerial duties over alleged misconduct and former Ipswich Town boss George Burley was brought in. The club was put into receivership then sold in October 2003 for £3 to a group led by Jeremy Keith. After finishing 20th in the 2003–04 season, a dramatic improvement in the 2004–05 season saw Derby finish fourth in the Championship, qualifying for a promotion play-off spot, though they lost in the semi-finals to Preston North End. Soon afterwards, Burley resigned citing differences between himself and the board. He was replaced by Bolton Wanderers first team coach Phil Brown. In January 2006, Brown was sacked after a poor run of results. Terry Westley, the academy coach at the time, took over first-team duties until the end of the season and saved Derby from relegation.

Return to the Premier League and straight back to the Championship
In April 2006, a consortium of local businessmen led by former vice-chairman Peter Gadsby purchased the club, reducing its debt and returning Pride Park Stadium to the club's ownership in the process. In June 2006, former Preston North End boss Billy Davies was appointed Derby County's new permanent manager. In his first season, Davies took Derby to the Championship play-offs, where they beat Southampton on penalties in the semi-finals before defeating West Bromwich Albion 1–0 with a second-half Stephen Pearson goal at the new Wembley Stadium to secure a return to the Premier League and the associated £60 million windfall.[12]

After failing to win any of their opening five matches of the season (one draw and four consecutive defeats), Derby scored their first victory with a 1-0 win over Newcastle, where Kenny Miller scored the only goal of the game.[13] In October 2007, Peter Gadsby stepped down as chairman to be replaced by former Hull City owner Adam Pearson, who immediately began searching for investment from overseas.[14] After a poor start to the season, manager Billy Davies left by mutual consent in November.[15] He was succeeded by Paul Jewell,[16] who failed to save the club as Derby suffered the Premier League's earliest ever relegation, in March,[17] recorded the Premier League's lowest-ever points total,[18] and equalled Loughborough's 108-year Football League record of going through an entire season with only one win, which occurred during the 1899–1900 season when Loughborough finished bottom of the Second Division. In January 2008, Derby was taken over by an international investment group led by General Sports and Entertainment, with Pearson remaining as de facto chairman.[19]

Derby's match at home to Sheffield United on 13 September 2008 generated much media coverage as it was approaching a year since Derby's last league win, a run which saw the club break the English league record for most matches without a win. Just four days short of the anniversary of the 1–0 victory over Newcastle United, Rob Hulse scored against his former club as Derby ran out 2–1 winners, earning Paul Jewell his first league win as Derby boss at his 27th attempt. Despite taking the club to the League Cup semi-final, the club's first major cup semi-final since 1976, where Derby lost 4–3 to Manchester United over two legs, Jewell resigned as manager in December 2008 after a run of just two wins in 11 matches.[20] He was replaced by Nigel Clough,[21] son of former manager Brian Clough. Nigel Clough led the club to 18th place and safety. After two seasons that saw the club finish in the bottom half of the table, Derby finished the two subsequent seasons in 12th and 10th place. Clough was replaced by Steve McClaren in September 2013; McClaren led the club to a 3rd-place finish in the 2013–14 Championship season, but lost the play-off final to Queens Park Rangers. Derby failed to finish in the play-offs the following season, which saw McClaren sacked as local-businessman Mel Morris assumed control. Morris oversaw a level of spending unprecedented in Derby's history over the following three years, breaking the club's transfer record four times, but also saw an unprecedented managerial turnover as went through six managers between June 2015 and May 2017. In this three-season period, Derby qualified for the play-offs twice, but failed to get past the semi-finals on both occasions.

On 31 May 2018, following the departure of manager Gary Rowett to Stoke, Frank Lampard was appointed as Derby manager on a three-year contract.[22] In his first season in charge, he guided the club to a 6th place finish and reached the playoff final at Wembley, but ultimately lost to the hands of Aston Villa.[23] On 4 July 2019, Lampard left Derby to manage former club Chelsea, with his successor, Phillip Cocu, being announced the following day.[24]

Club crest and colours
Crest
Like most old football clubs, Derby County did not initially have any badge displayed on their shirts. Their first badge was introduced in 1924. The badge consisted of a circular shield split into three equally sized sections, representing the club, its fans and the area, all containing items traditionally associated with the city of Derby: a Tudor rose and a crown in one section, a buck in a park in the second and a ram's head in the final section. The badge was worn on the players' shirts for just two seasons before they reverted to plain shirts.

By 1934, another badge had been introduced. This time it was a traditionally shaped shield, again with three sections. The buck in the park had been removed and the rose and the crown had been split up and now occupied a section each. The ram's head also remained and was now given the largest section of the shield. The badge never appeared on the players' shirts. The shield was modified in 1946 when the rose and crown were removed and replaced with the letters "DC" (Derby County) and "FC" (Football Club) respectively. The badge, right, was featured on to the player's shirts from its introduction onwards, though the ram's head on its own was used from the late 1960s (the full shield, however, remained the club's official logo).
A new club badge was introduced in 1971, featuring a more modern design that, with modifications, is still in use. The badge was initially consisted of a stylised white ram facing left. The badge was first modified slightly in 1979 to include the text "Derby County FC" under the ram (though the ram remained on its own on away kits). In 1982, the ram turned to face to the right and the text under it was removed. The ram was surrounded by a wreath of laurel and the text "Centenary 1984–1985" was printed underneath for the club's centenary season. The laurel was removed and the text reading "Derby County FC" returned from the next season. In 1993, the ram faced left again and the text was removed once more. From 1995, the ram faced right and was enclosed in a diamond, with a gold banner reading "Derby County FC" underneath and the text "1884" (the year of the club's foundation) underneath that. The design was changed again in 1997 (see left): the ram faced now left and the golden banner now simply read "Derby County"; the diamond and year of formation were removed.

أن يصلي الإمام بالناس ركعتين في وقت يكون لا يتواجد الماء (جفاف) ولا يكون وقت الكراهة. يجهر في الأولى بالفاتحة، وسبح اسم ربك الأعلى، وفي الثانية بالغاشية.. وصلاة الاستسقاء مثل صلاة العيد تماماً، فيكّبر فيها سبعاً في الركعة الأولى، وخمساً في الثانية.

ولا يشترط لصلاة الاستسقاء أذان، كما لا يشترط الأذان لخطبتها، وينادى لها بالصلاة جامعة.

ثم يخطب الناس فإذا انتهى من الخطبة يندب أن يحول الخطيب رداءه - ولو كان شالاً أو عباءة - والمصلون جميعاً يحولون أرديتهم.. وذلك بأن يجعلوا ما على أيمانهم على شمائلهم، ويستقبلوا القبلة، ويدعو الله رافعي الأيدي، مبالغين في ذلك.

عن ابن عباس ما قال: خرج رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم متواضعاً م تبذلاً (لابساً ثياب العمل) متخشعاً مترسلاً (غير مستعجل في مشيه) متضرعاً. (أخرجه الترمذي وصححه).

وعن عائشة بنت أبي بكر رضي الله عنها قالت: شكا الناس إلى رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم قُحُوط (احتباس) المطر، فأمر بمنبر، فوضع له بالمصلى، ووعد الناس يوماً يخرجون فيه، فخرج حين بدا حاجب الشمس (ضوءها) فكبّر وحمد الله،

   صلاة الاستسقاء ثم قال: "الحمد لله رب العالمين الرحمن الرحيم مالك يوم الدين لا إله إلا الله، يفعل ما يريد، اللهم لا إله إلا أنت، أنت الغني، ونحن الفقراء، أنزل علينا الغيث، واجعل ما أنزلت علينا قوة وبلاغاً إلى حين".    صلاة الاستسقاء
، ثم رفع يديه، فلم يزل يدعو، ثم حوّل إلى الناس ظهره، وقلب رداءه، وهو رافع يديه، ثم أقبل على الناس، فصلّى ركعتين (أخرجه الحاكم وصححه).

وللفقهاء في تقديم الخطبة أو تأخيرها ثلاثة أقوال

تأخير الخطبة إلى ما بعد الصلاة تقديمها جواز الأمرين.

ما يستحب قبل الخروج لصلاة الاستسقاء

يُستحب قبل الخروج إلى الصلاة: التوبة، والصدقة، والخروج من المظالم، والمصالحة بين المتخاصمين، وصيام ثلاثة أيام، ثم الخروج في اليوم المعين لذلك، ويخرج الصبيان، والشيوخ، والعجائز، ويباح إخراج البهائم والصغار.

حوادث من صلاة الاستسقاء
1- رسول الله محمد Mohamed peace be upon him.svg: أشهر ما ورد عن النبي محمد Mohamed peace be upon him.svg 3 حوادث، وهي كالتالي:

الأولى: الحديث المذكور في فقرة "كيفية صلاة الاستسقاء" وفيه الصلاة.

الثانية:

أنَّ رجلًا دخلَ المسجدَ يومَ الجمعةِ من بابٍ كانَ وِجاهَ المنبَرِ، ورسولُ اللَّهِ صلَّى اللَّهُ عليهِ وسلَّمَ قائمٌ يخطبُ، فاستَقبلَ النبيَّ صلَّى اللَّهُ عليهِ وسلَّمَ قائمًا، ثمَّ قالَ: يا رسولَ اللَّهِ هلَكَتِ الأموالُ وانقَطعتِ السُّبلُ، فادعُ اللَّهَ يُغِثْنا فرفعَ النبيُّ صلَّى اللَّهُ عليهِ وسلَّمَ يديهِ، فقالَ: ((اللَّهمَّ اسقِنا)) قالَ أنَسٌ: فواللَّهِ ما نرَى في السَّماءِ مِن سحابٍ ولا قزَعةٍ، وما بينَنا وبينَ سلَعٍ مِن بيتٍ ولا دارٍ. قالَ: فطلعَت من ورائِهِ سحابةٌ مثلُ التُّرسِ فلمَّا توسَّطتِ السَّماءَ انتشَرت ثمَّ أمطَرَت، قالَ: فواللَّهِ ما رأينا الشَّمسَ سَبتًا. قالَ: ثمَّ دخلَ رجلٌ مِنَ البابِ في الجمعةِ المُقْبِلَةِ، والنبيُّ صلَّى اللَّهُ عليهِ وسلَّمَ يخطبُ النَّاسَ فاستقبلَهُ قائمًا، ثمَّ قالَ: يا رسولَ اللَّهِ هلَكَتِ الأموالُ وانقطعتِ السُّبلُ، فادعُ اللَّهَ أن يُمْسِكَها عنَّا. فرفعَ النبيُّ صلَّى اللَّهُ عليهِ وسلَّمَ يديهِ وقالَ:

   صلاة الاستسقاء اللَّهمَّ حَوالنا ولا علَينا، اللَّهمَّ على الآكامِ والظِّراب قالَ: فأقلعَت، وخرجَ يمشي في الشَّمسِ.    صلاة الاستسقاء
الثالثة:

أَنّهُ صَلّى اللّه عَلَيْهِ وَسَلّمَ اسْتَسْقَى فِي بَعْضِ غَزَوَاتِهِ لَمّا سَبَقَهُ الْمُشْرِكُونَ إلَى الْمَاءِ فَأَصَابَ الْمُسْلِمِينَ الْعَطَشُ فَشَكَوْا إلَى رَسُولِ اللّه صَلّى اللّهِ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلّمَ. وَقَالَ بَعْضُ الْمُنَافِقِينَ لَوْ كَانَ نَبِيّا لَاسْتَسْقَى لِقَوْمِهِ كَمَا اسْتَسْقَى مُوسَى لِقَوْمِهِ فَبَلَغَ ذَلِكَ النّبِيّ صَلّى اللّه عَلَيْهِ وَسَلّمَ فَقَالَ: ((أَوَقَدْ قَالُوهَا؟ عَسَىَ رَبّكُمْ أَنْ يَسْقِيَكُمْ))، ثُمّ بَسَطَ يَدَيْهِ وَدَعَا فَمَا رَدّ يَدَيْهِ مِنْ دُعَائِهِ حَتّى أَظَلّهُمْ السّحَابُ وَأُمْطِرُوا فَأَفْعَمَ السّيْلُ الْوَادِيَ فَشَرِبَ النّاسُ فَارْتَوَوْا.

2- موسى عليه السلام:

أما قصة صلاة الاستسقاء على عهد موسى عليه السلام، والتي أوردها ابن قدامة فهي من الإسرائيليات، في لفظها نكارة ولا تصح.

، لكن ذكرها ابن قدامة في كتابه التبيين.

3- سليمان عليه السلام:

حديث سقيا النملة في عهد سليمان عليه السلام. وهو حديث ذكره ابن عساكر والدار قطني وغيرهم، لكن ضعفه الألباني. ونصه:

عن أبي هريرة رضي الله عنه عن النبي Mohamed peace be upon him.svg أنه قال: ((خرج سليمان عليه السلام يستسقي فمر بنملة مستلقية على ظهرها رافعة قوائمها إلى السماء وهي تقول: اللهم إنا خلق من خلقك ليس بنا غنى عن سقياك ورزقك اللهم فإما أن تسقينا وإما أن تهلكنا، فقال: ارجعوا فقد سقيتم بدعوة غيركم)). وللحديث روايات متعددة.

4- الصحابة:

جاء في "المغني" أنَّ عمر رضي الله عنه استسقى بالعباس عم النبي Mohamed peace be upon him.svg. قال ابن عمر: استسقى عمر عام الرمادة بالعباس فقال: "اللهم إنَّ هذا عم نبيك صلى الله عليه وسلم، نتوجه إليك به فاسقنا. فما برحوا حتى سقاهم الله عز وجل".

وروي أن معاوية خرج يستسقي، فلما جلس على المنبر، قال: أين يزيد بن الأسود الجرشي؟ فقام يزيد، فدعاه معاوية بن أبي سفيان، فأجلسه عند رجليه، ثم قال: اللهم إنا نستشفع إليك بخيرنا وأفضلنا يزيد بن الأسود، يا يزيد، ارفع يديك. فرفع يديه، ودعا الله تعالى، فثارت في الغرب سحابة مثل الترس، وهب لها ريح، فسقوا حتى كادوا لا يبلغون منازلهم. واستسقى به الضحاك مرة أخرى

الاهلي السعودي

النادي الأهلي الرياضي السعودي هو نادي يضم عدة ألعاب مختلفة بالإضافة إلى فرق كرة القدم بجميع فئاتها. يوجد مقره في مدينة جدة غرب السعودية. تأسس في 17 مارس 1937، وهو النادي الوحيد اللذي جمع الدوري وكأس الملك وكأس السوبر في موسم واحد (2016)، يلقب في البطولات العربية بأهلي جدة تفريقاً بينه وبين فرق الأهلي العربية العديدة. يسمى من قبل مشجعيه بالملكي وكما أطلق عليه الأمير سلطان بن فهد بن عبد العزيز آل سعود الرئيس السابق للاتحاد العربي السعودي لكرة القدم لقب الراقي ويلقب كذلك بقلعة الكؤوس. ألوان النادي هي الأخضر والأبيض.

يقع مقر النادي في شارع التحلية بجدة وقام النادي بإنشاء أول أكاديمية لكرة القدم في السعودية وإنشاء مركز الأمير عبد الله الفيصل للشباب والناشئين. يعتبر الأمير عبد الله الفيصل هو المؤسس الفعلي للنادي ورمزه بسبب تطويره للنادي في أغلب نشاطاته المختلفة.

وقد كان له اليد العليا فيما وصل النادي إليه الآن. أحضر الأمير عبد الله الفيصل مشاهير كرة القدم العالمية في تلك الفترة للعب للنادي الاهلي من مدربين ولاعبين على سبيل المثال احضر المدرب العالمي ديدي وهو أول مدرب برازيلي يدرب نادي سعودي وأيضاً الداهية البرازيلي المدرب تيلي سانتانا الذي درب منتخب البرازيل لكرة القدم في كأس العالم لكرة القدم 1982 وحقق فيها المركز الثاني ثم أتى بعد البطولة لتدريب الأهلي وتحقيق البطولات معه ثم عاد مجدداً لتدريب المنتخب البرازيلي في مونديال كأس العالم 1986، وأحضر الأهلي أشهر لاعبين العالم على الإطلاق دييغو مارادونا لليوبيل الذهبي بعد مرور خمسين سنة على تأسيس النادي عام 1408 هـ أحضر منتخب البرازيل لكرة القدم أبطال العالم للعب مع النادي الأهلي. زار النادي في تلك الفترة مشاهير العالم كرئيس الاتحاد الدولي السابق جو
او هافيلانج ومشاهير آخرين كانوا في ضيافة الأهلي
تأسس النادي الأهلي عام 1355 هـ ـ 1937 م على يد أربعة شبان ، ويقع مقره في قلب مدينة جدة الحالمة ويعد أكبر مناراتها الرياضية بموقعه الاستراتيجي على أكبر شوارعها ـ شارع الأمير محمد بن عبد العزيز (التحلية) ـ ونبتت فكرة تأسيسه بين عدد من الطلاب في مدرسة الفلاح ـ أقدم مدارس مدينة جدة ـ فكانت بداية انطلاقة الأهلي نحو آفاق أوسع وبات يتقدم إلى الريادة شيءًا فشيئًا إلى أن أضحى في الماضي والحاضر اسمًا عملاقًا رائدًا وسفيرًا ناجحًا لرياضة الوطن في كثير من الألعاب، وتتويجًا لهذا النجاح أطلق عليه خادم الحرمين الشريفين الملك عبد الله بن عبد العزيز ـ يرحمه الله ـ لقب سفير الوطن يوم الجمعة 10 / 7 / 1430 هـ الموافق 3 يوليو 2009 م وتوجه بدرع التفوق الرياضي عندما استقبل في قصره العامر صاحب السمو الملكي الأمير خالد بن عبد الله بن عبد العزيز رئيس هيئة أعضاء الشرف وأعضاء شرف النادي ورؤسائه على مر تاريخه وإدارة النادي برئاسة عبد العزيز العنقري ولاعبي النادي في يوم تاريخي لن ينساه الرياضيون بصفة عامة والأهلاويون بصفة خاصة كأكبر تكريم حصل عليه النادي الأهلي في تاريخه بعد تحقيقه إنجازًا فريدًا في نفس العام حيث حقق أربع بطولات خارجية وعانق العالمية من خلال فريق كرة اليد الأول الذي حقق بطولة آسيا ثم كأس الخليج وفريق كرة القدم الأول وفريق كرة الطائرة الأول بعد أن حققا بطولتي الخليج أيضًا في نفس العام أيضاً يقال انه ليس له تاريخ.

المرحلة الأولى 1355 هـ - 1359 هـ
فتية تحابوا في الله ولله، جمعتهم مدرسة الفلاح فتآخوا وتآلفوا وجمعتهم الجيرة بحكم سكنهم في حارة الشام بصورة عامة فتوثقت عرى الصداقة بينهم فأصبحوا كالأسرة الواحدة واحتضنتهم دار آل البترجي في حارة الشام.. فأصبحت ملتقى الأجيال وسمرهم، وكثيراً ماسهروا في هذه الدار على أنغام الموسيقى وصوت أم كلثوم في حفلاتها الشهرية وكان على كل واحد من هؤلاء وبالتتالي أن يتكفل بتقديم طعام العشاء في كل أمسية من هذه الأمسيات. في هذا الجو الأخوي الخالص النقي كنقاء سريرتهم نبتت فكرة تأسيس فريق رياضي وطني يضمهم ويخرجهم من إطار المدرسة الضيق إلى نطاق أرحب وأوسع فاعتنقوا الفكرة وكلفوا الأستاذ / حسن محمود شمس ي بالعمل على إخراج هذه الفكرة إلى حيز الوجود ولم يكن هذا الاختيار عشوائياً ولكن لأنه كان يتمتع بصفات القيادة الفطرية ولأنه كان محبوباً بين أقرانه لدماثة أخلاقه واتزان فكره ولأنه كان لاعبا بارزاً في مدرسة الفلاح كما كان لاعباً مرموقاً في نادي الاتحاد فتولى المهمة وكان عند حسن ظن الجميع به وكان أهلا للمسئولية التي أنيطت به فأصبحت حقيقة ملموسة وأعلن مولد الأهلي عام 1357 هـ وسمي الفريق بالأهلي تيمناً بالنادي الأهلي بمصر الذائع الصيت آنذاك ومطابقاً لأحاسيسهم بمعاني روابط الأهل، وتولى رئاسة النادي بعد تأسيسه مؤسسه حسن محمود شمس، ومن تسلسل الأحداث والظروف التي أحاطت بمولد الأهلي كان من الطبيعي أن تتولى إدارته واللعب تحت رايته مجموعة من هؤلاء الفتية الذين تحابوا في الله ولله وربطت بينهم المحبة والمودة بروابط وثيقة وخاصة تلك التي كانت تربطهم بآل البترجي فشكلت الإدارة وأختير اللاعبون وكانت النواة الأولى نخبة ممتازة من أبناء مدينة جدة كما أختير الشعار الأزرق والأبيض للفريق

المرحلة الثانية 1369 هـ - 1371 هـ
استأنف الأهلي نشاطه الرياضي في عام 1369 هـ ولكن هذه المرة بمجلس إداري جديد، برئاسة الأستاذ عمر محمود شمس الذي خلف أخاه حسن محمود شمس الذي إختاره الله إلى جواره في عام 1363 هـ
هذا وقد كان أول قرار إتخذته اللجنة الإدارية هو تغيير شعار النادي من الأزرق والأبيض إلى الأخضر والأبيض تيمنا بالعلم السعودي الخفاق، وبدأ الفريق مزاولة تمارينه في أرض جديدة وهي الواقعة الآن في الشرفية بجوار فندق العطاس وأمام تقاطع الجسر وبعد فترة وجيزة من استئناف الأهلي لنشاطه إنضم إليه الشيخ حسن سرور الصبان ي وكان دعما قويا للنادي بحكم مركزه الاجتماعي والأدبي وعين رئيس شرف للنادي، وكانت الانطلاقة في هذه المرة واسعة فطرق الأهلي أبوابا كانت موصدة ولأول مرة في تاريخ الرياضة في جدة ومكة المكرمة إن لم تكن في المملكة فكسر طوق الإقليمية الرياضية في جدة واتسعت الدائرة لتشمل مكة المكرمة، واستعان بلاعبين استقدمهم من السودان الشقيق ولأول مرة بغرض الاستفادة والاحتكاك بهم وبهدف الارتقاء بمستوى الكرة وكان أول الوافدين عبد الله دانا دانا وأد روب وسليمان غندورة وشيبه ثم عبد الله عبد الماجد ومحمد عثمان بشير الشهير بحمدو وأحمد عبد الله، ولعب ضد فرق أجنبية ولأول مرة في عمر الأهلي، وكان أول الغيث أن تبارى مع فريق من موظفي شركة جون هاورد الإنجليزية وهي الشركة التي كانت تقوم بتقديم الاستشارات الفنية والمعدات اللازمة للعين العزيزية والميناء البحري، وأقيمت هذه المبــــاراة بتاريــخ 7/5/1369 هـ وفاز الأهلي بالنتيجة

ثم طرق الأهلي أبواب عصره الذهبي حين حظي بشرف انضمام الأب الروحي للرياضة في المملكة ورائدها الأول ومؤسسها على أسس عصرية منظمة (صاحب السمو الملكي الأمير عبد الله الفيصل) وكان ذلك بتاريخ 25/6/1369 هـ، ثم توالت ريادة الأهلي في إقامة المباريات ضد فرق أجنبية ومن المباريات التي حفظها التاريخ لنا هذه المباريات :

1- الأهلي ضد بحارة المدمرة الهولندية (جيرك هدسن)
التاريخ: 22 / 4 / 1370 هـ النتيجة:3 / صفر لصالح الأهلي الملعب: ملعب الأهلي الحكم : حسن السيد رجلا الخطوط : أحمد تكروني وأحد بحارة المدمرة سجل الأهداف : الهدف الأول سجله اللاعب/عبد الرحمن قهوجي في الشوط الأول الهدف الثاني سجله اللاعب/محمد قاسم في الشوط الأول الهدف الثالث سجله اللاعب/محمد عثمان في الشوط الثاني وقد حضر هذه المباراة كل من صاحب السمو الملكي الأمير عبد الله الفيصل والأمير سعد بن فهد والشيخ حمد السليمان وكيل وزارة المالية والأستاذ عبد الله الشيبي من سدنة الكعبة المشرفة.
2- الأهلي ضد منتخب البوارج البريطانية الحربية(يوليس-ميرميد/سيربرايس)
التاريخ : 10 / 7 / 1370 هـ النتيجة: 3 / 2 لصالح الأهلي الملعب : ملعب الأهلي الحكم : حسن السيد سجل الأهداف : الهدف الأول سجله اللاعب/ معاوية أبو غالب في الشوط الأول الهدفين الثاني والثالث سجلها اللاعب/محمد قاسم في الشوط الأول أيضا وكانت المكافأة رحلة إلى مصر لمشاهدة مباراة منتخب مصر ضد منتخب النمسا وذلك لكل من شارك في هذه المباراة، تكفل بنفقاتها وكعهده دائما مشجع الرياضة والرياضيين صاحب السمو الملكي الأمير/ عبد الله الفيصل.
3- الأهلي ضد منتخب الجالية الإيطالية المقيمة في جدة
لعب الأهلي مبارة ضد منتخب الجالية الإيطالية المقيمة في جدة التي كان معظم أفرادها يعملون في شركة بكتر وكانت النتيجة لصالح الأهلي، وقد أقيمت المباراة على ملعب الأهلي بتاريخ 25 / 6 / 1369 هـ.

وفي شهر رجب من عام 1371 هـ زار المملكة منتخب وزارة الصحة المصرية لكرة القدم، وكان يضم خيرة اللاعبين المصريين، ولعب مباراتين وديتين ضد منتخب الأهلي والوحدة وكانت نتيجة المبارتين كالآتي:

4- المباراة الأولى بتاريخ 26 / 7 / 1371 هـ
الملعب : ملعب الصبان بجدة النتيجة : 3 / 1 لصالح منتخب الأهلي والوحدة الحكم : حسن إمام سجل الأهداف : الهدف الأول سجله اللاعب/ السمح في الشوط الأول الهدف الثاني سجله اللاعب/ محمد أحمد بلال المشهور بـ(جربان) في الشوط الأول، والهدف الثالث سجله اللاعب/ عبد الله كعكي في الشوط الثاني وقد حضر المباراة صاحب السمو الملكي الأمير / عبد الله الفيصل.

5- المباراة الثانية حسب مانشر عنها بجريدة البلاد السعودية بتاريخ3/8/1371 هـ
الملعب: ملعب الصبان بجدة النتيجة: 1 / صفر لصالح منتخب وزارة الصحة الحكم : حسن إمام ومرة أخرى يتشرف الوسط الرياضي بحضور صاحب السمو الملكي الأمير/ عبد الله الفيصل لهذه المباراة والسفير الأمريكي وسعادة الحسيني الخطيب وزير مصر المفوض وحسين العويني وإبراهيم شاكر. الاستعراض الذي أقيم قبيل مباراة الأهلي والمدمرات البريطانية الثلاثة عام 1370 هـ فريق الجالية الإيطالية المقيمة في جدة لعب ضد الأهلي عام 1369 هـ

ورغم هذا النجاح الكبير والمنقطع النظير نخر سوس الخلاف في جسد الأسرة الأهلاوية في أواخر عام1371 هـ واحتدم الخلاف بين الإداريين مما أدى إلى ابتعاد رئيس النادي آنذاك الأستاذ عمر محمود شمس وتغيير اسم الأهلي بالثغر وليواصل مشوار تاريخه المديد باسمه وشعاره وكافة لاعبيه وإدارييه، وأسدل التاريخ الستار على هذه الفترة من عمر الأهلي ليحل محله نادي الثغر بثوبه الجديد وبشعار الأهلي الأخضر والأبيض.

المرحلة الثالثة 1371 هـ - 1381 هـ
