116. A Reminder From Our Children To The World

Scenario:

Three boys enter a classroom with their masks on...and they sit down, while the rest in the class look at them...another enters and asks: What's the problem. ? Why are you afraid? 

One boy answers:"Corona don't you know?

It has affected our livelihood".

Another replies: " Amazing is the matter of people, they fear corona more than they fear their sins".

Another says: " The calamity is not in the illness or death,  because death is the end of all living things, the calamity is that the hearts got habituated to haraam, and jealously and  shame is removed".

Another says: " Worse than corona is a woman that buys clothes for her daughter with display,  and encourages her, and doesn't bother about her hijab and watches with her films and series".

Another says: " Worse than corona is a man sitting with his cell phone, and when the call for solaah is rendered,  he closes his ears as if he is among the enemies".

Another says: " Worse than corona, is a girl that Allah has given beauty and health, then leaves in her beauty and mixes with the men and then their voices are loud".

Another says: "Worse than corona -The elderly, they teach our children everything except Tauhid and Sunnah and Islam".

Another says: " Worse than corona- People got used to false witnessing and false speech,  and engaging with music and instruments, they are a shame of people and are not ashamed of Allah... and He is their Creator and The One in charge of their affairs".

Another says: " Worse than corona- Spreading of Ribaa (interest) and betrayal and theft.....we should take heed of the ethics and morals".

We are afraid of the body that will die, and we are not of afraid of the death of the hearts...that's the greatest calamity

Corona is only a bacteria a soldier of Allah, it could be a punishment to some, and a means of purification to others.

A virus- A lesson to the world- With all the technology... Allah can destroy the world with an atom.

Death is certain to all...either Jannah or Jahannam.

Another says: 
" O ! Man know your magnitude and remember the Qudrah of Allah".

The last learner renders a verse from the Qur'an..." Can they not see that The One Who created them , has more power over them....".

115. Surah Al-Baqara, Aayat No 152

فَاذْكُرُونِي أَذْكُرْكُمْ وَاشْكُرُوا لِي وَلَا تَكْفُرُونِ

Therefore remember Me, I will remember you, and be thankful to Me, and do not be ungrateful to Me.

SubhanAllah..!! This is one of the most beautiful verse of the Qur'an

It Revives our Imaan, Gives us soo much of Hope, Grants us Peace & Makes us Thankful

There are many many reasons for you to be thankful for.. Be Grateful & Be Happy.

Allah Subhanahu wa taala has truly blessed you with zillions of things for you to be grateful & thankful.. Alhamdulillah ala kulli haal

"And Allah loves those who are grateful, and blesses them with more"

No matter what situation you're in..

No matter what calamity has befallen.. 

No matter what happens.. 

Know and Understand that, It's all from your Rabb, the Lord of the worlds. He is Ar-Rahman (The Most Kind) & Al-Khabeer (The All-Knowing)

Imagine how much our Mother loves us.. One small hurt and she trembles like its her hurt.. And your Lord, your Rabb loves you more than 70 mothers..

Now imagine how could He put you in a situation without a reason.. All what He does is for a reason..Indeed a good reason In Shaa Allah..All we need to do is Trust Him completely in all situations.

Every thing that happens to you is by will of your Rabb.. How can He do something wrong with you when He loves you so much..

 Shaa Allah you'll see that the BEST awaits you. He makes us grow through situations. Alhamdulillah.

May Allah Subhanahu wa taala make us amongst those who strive to build a Raabta (connection) with Him by remembering Him often and are always grateful to Him for everything in all circumstances..

Aameeen Ya Rabbul Aalameen

114. Beware Of Sadness

 Ibn Al Qayyim may Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta’ala  have mercy on him said the word (الحزن) – (sadness) does not appear in the Quran only in the form of forbidding it (ولا تهنو ولاتحزنوا) or in the form of negating it (فلاخوف عليهم ولا هم يحزنون).

And the reason for this is because there is no benefit for having sadness in the heart. The most beloved thing to the shaitan is to make the believing slave sad by taking him off track.

The Prophet salallahu ‘alayhi wa sallam sought refuge in Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta’ala from sadness (اللهم إني أعوذ بك من الهم والحزن)

Ibn Al Qayyim said: Sadness weakness the heart and diminishes determination and wanting to go forward. And there is nothing more beloved to the shaitan than sadness of a believer.

For this reason, be happy, optimistic and think good about Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta’ala . Have trust in what Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta’ala is able to do and depend on Him. You will find happiness and pleasure in all situations.

Ibn Al Qayyim said: 
Don’t ruin your happiness with worry, and don’t ruin your mind with pessimism. Don’t ruin your success with deception and don’t ruin the optimism of others by destroying it. Don’t ruin your day by looking back at yesterday.

If you think about your situation, you will find that Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta’ala has given you things without asking, so have trust in Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta’ala that He doesn’t prevent anything you want except there is goodness for you.

You could be sleeping and the doors of the heavens are being opened with dua’s being made on your behalf, Subhan'Allah: perhaps from someone poor whom you helped, or someone sad whom you brought joy, or someone passing by and you smiled to him, or someone in distraught and you removed it. So don’t ever underestimate any good deeds.

One of the righteous predecessors said: I make dua’a to Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta’ala for something I want, and if He gives it to me then I’m happy once and if He doesn’t give it to me then I’m happy ten times because the first was my choice and the second was Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta’ala’s choice.

 As Sa’adi may Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta’ala have mercy on him said: life is short so don’t shorten it with worries, grief, and sadness.

So be the owner of a heart that breathes happiness and satisfaction.

 May Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta’ala make your times happy and may Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta’ala forgive us all. 

Ameen

113. Surah Al-Baqara, Aayat No 160

إِلَّا الَّذِينَ تَابُوا وَأَصْلَحُوا وَبَيَّنُوا فَأُولَٰئِكَ أَتُوبُ عَلَيْهِمْ وَأَنَا التَّوَّابُ الرَّحِيمُ

Except those who repent and amend and make manifest (the truth), these it is to whom I turn (mercifully); and I am the Oft-returning (to mercy), the Merciful.

IN DIFFICULT TIMES, SEEK HELP FROM ALLAH ALONE

When we face something difficult on the heart, we often seek comfort and solace in our friends and loved ones.

We want a shoulder to cry on. We want someone to console us. We want someone to just be there for us

Even the Prophets felt this Pain, Distress and Heartache.

The difference is, they knew that the best way to relieve distress and calamity was to turn to Allah Subhanahu wa taala in complaint and to in turn receive comfort from Him alone.

Ya’qoub alayhi wa sallam called upon Allah Subhaana wa taala when his son Yusuf alayhi wa sallam was separated from him for years ❝I only complain of my suffering and my grief to Allah, and I know from Allah that which you do not know❞ [Yusuf: 86]

Raise your hands, seek that relief, you soo desperately need from Allah Subhanahu wa taala alone.

Allah Subhanahu wa taala is the ONLY one who knows each and everything about you.

He is you're Creator. He knows when your heart aches. He knows when you're upset. He know when you just want to give up but you still move on.

He knows everything about you. He's the one who's bought these difficult times to you and He ALONE is the one who will bring you through it.

Just have complete Tawakkul on Him and Trust His timing.

In Shaa Allah you'll receive all that you want and desire for, when it's the right time for you to have it.

And verily, Allah Subhanahu wa taala is Al-Khabeer (The All Knowing)-He knows what's BEST for us & He is Al-Wahhab (The Giver Of All) who answers our duas, fulfills our wishes and grants us the BEST

112. Bathing In The Rain

It has barakah

وَيُنَزِّلُ عَلَيْكُم مِّنَ السَّمَاءِ مَاءً لِّيُطَهِّرَكُم بِهِ وَيُذْهِبَ عَنكُمْ رِجْزَ الشَّيْطَانِ وَلِيَرْبِطَ عَلَىٰ قُلُوبِكُمْ وَيُثَبِّتَ بِهِ الْأَقْدَامَ

“And He sent down upon you from the sky, rain by which to purify you and remove from you the evil [suggestions] of Satan and to make steadfast your hearts and plant firmly thereby your feet”

It is mustahabb to expose oneself to the rain and let some of it flow over one’s body, because of the proven report from Anas radiyallaahu ‘anhu who said: "When we were with the Messenger of Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta’ala it rained. The Messenger of Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta’ala lifted part of his garment so that the rain could fall on him. We said: "O Messenger of Allah, why did you do that? 

He said: 

“Because it has just come from its Lord, may He be glorified and exalted.” Narrated by Muslim (898).

111. Surah Al-Ahzab, Aayat No 3

وَتَوَكَّلْ عَلَى اللَّهِ وَكَفَىٰ بِاللَّهِ وَكِيلًا

And rely on Allah; and Allah is sufficient for a Protector.

O servant of Allah, Remember Allah Subhanahu wa taala won't burden you more than you can bear.

If your situation seems harder than most, it's because He knows you're strong enough for it and He wants to make you more stronger.

So have complete Tawakkul in Allah, He will take care of you even when things look impossible!

Allah Subhanahu wa taala is the only reason why:

Even in sadness, we should smile.

Even in hate, we should love.

Even in confusion, we should understand.

Even in betrayal, we should trust

Even in pain, we should find peace

Do not let the grief in your heart keep you from seeking Allah Subhanahu wa taala. Understand that Allah Subhanahu wa taala gave it to you for a good reason.

This pain that you feel, is Allah's reminder that He is the Healer of all pains, and He is the Supreme Comforter. He has power over all things and it is all in His divine control.

Speak to Allah Subhanahu wa taala, pour out your heart to Him, tell Him your woes, and know that your heart will be lighter in it's burden. Build that supreme connection with your Rabb at this time of difficulty and InShaAllah He'll soothe your heart like no other.

As a human you can’t fully understand the wisdom behind Allah’s plan, but,

if you gain something, embrace it,

if you lose something, let it go,

You don’t know if what you love is wrong for you & what you hate is best for you, Only your Rabb knows. Hence trust Him with all your heart.

The only way to stop any pain in your life is to accept the fact that nothing is yours, nothing was yours, and nothing will ever be yours. Your life functions according to Allah Subhanahu wa taala.

These are worldly attachments; given by Allah, belonging to Allah and returning back to Allah..!!

So, O you who believe, Understand & Trust that Allah’s plans are better than your wishes. Don't fear the current situation rather use it to boost your Imaan.

110. Surah Ash-Shura, Aayat No 62

قَالَ كَلَّا إِنَّ مَعِيَ رَبِّي سَيَهْدِينِ

He (Musa) said: By no means; surely my Lord is with me: He will show me a way out.

Heyy dearest soul, Don't Panic.. Don't Fear.. Indeed our Rabb is with us during these times of trial and test that the entire world is going through. Allah Subhanahu wa taala is with us.

Don't be sad at the turn of trials - if Allah Subhanahu wa taala separates you from the things or people you love, if you lose your job, have health problems or if others make it difficult for you following the straight path.

Remember, our beloved Prophet (Peace be upon him) was tested more so than any human being!

Do your best to remain on the straight path, and your patience will not be in vain. Build a connection with Allah Subhanahu wa taala in this time of isolation. Believe me this is the Best time. Make complete use of it.

Allah Subhanahu wa taala says he who is patient at the turn of calamities will be granted relief sooner or later. So BE PATIENT & don't worry,  In Sha aAllah very soon a relief is guaranteed from our Rabb.

This entire universe combined is nothing to Allah - not even a drop in the ocean! He is Al-Malik (The King) the Lord of the Universe

Put your trust in Him that only He can provide and ease your suffering.. Only He alone can bring us all through these times of testing.. and if you knew His plans for you, your heart would melt with the warmth of His love.

Indeeeed Allah Subhanahu wa taala Tests Those Whom He Loves. So don't lose Hope my dear ones, In Shaa Allah we'll all get through this soon with loads of Aafiyat(well-being) & Khair(goodness)

109. Surah Ibrahim, Aayat No 7

وَإِذْ تَأَذَّنَ رَبُّكُمْ لَئِن شَكَرْتُمْ لَأَزِيدَنَّكُمْ وَلَئِن كَفَرْتُمْ إِنَّ عَذَابِي لَشَدِيدٌ

And when your Lord made it known: If you are grateful, I would certainly give to you more, and if you are ungrateful, My chastisement is truly severe.

When you are given what you like, say Alhamdulilllah.

When a calamity befalls you, say Alhamdulillah.

Allah Subhanahu wa taala says in this beautiful verse that when you remember Allah’s blessings and thank Him by being Grateful, He will increase for you.

It could be an increase in your Wealth, Barakah, Love, Sustenance, Health, Compassion it could be anything.

But what are you required to do?? BE GRATEFUL!! Be grateful for the good as well as the bad.

Thank Him Allah Subhanahu wa taala for whatever He’s blessed you with.

Be grateful for being saved from whatever hardship or disaster that might have befallen you.

And most importantly, Thank Him even for those “calamities” or “disasters” that have struck your life.

They may be a means of your sins being cleansed or a means of He drawing you closer to Him!

Ponder upon this current situation that the entire world is going through. Allah Subhanahu wa taala has given us this precious time to rejuvenate our inside(souls) while He rejuvenates our outside(surroundings) SubhanAllah!

And so, Allah Subhanahu wa taala says,“If you are grateful, He will give you more.” Isn’t that awesome!

None of us could have ever thought of getting this precious time ever in life. And especially this precious time to prepare ourselves before the blessed month of Ramadan. Alhamdulillah!

Make it a habit to do Dhikr by saying ALHAMDULILLAH for all you have and all that you don’t.

Everything that happens to us is by the will of Allah Subhanahu wa taala and holds blessings with it.

Sit and take a deep breath and Thank Allah for EVERYTHING IN ALL SITUATIONS.

Alhamdulillah ala kulli haal 

108. Surah Al-Jathiya, Aayat No 36

فَلِلَّهِ الْحَمْدُ رَبِّ السَّمَاوَاتِ وَرَبِّ الْأَرْضِ رَبِّ الْعَالَمِينَ

Therefore to Allah is due (all) praise, the Lord of the heavens and the Lord of the earth, the Lord of the worlds.

A short story that will depict how Allah Subhanahu wa taala sometimes deal with us in Duniya. 

A Construction Supervisor from 16th Floor of a Building was calling a Worker on Ground Floor.

Because of noise the Worker did not hear his Call.

To draw Attention, the Supervisor threw a 10 Rupee Note in Front of Worker.

He picked up the Note, put it in His Pocket & Continued to Work.

Again to Draw Attention the Supervisor threw 500 Rupee Note & the Worker did the same.

Now the Supervisor picked a small Stone & threw on the Worker.

The Stone hit the Worker.

This time the Worker looked Up & the Supervisor Communicated with Him.

This Story is same as to our 'LIFE'

Allah Subhanahu wa taala wants to Communicate with Us, but We are Busy doing our Worldly Jobs.

Then, He gives Us Small Gifts & Big Gifts

We just keep them without looking from Where We Got it. We are the Same.

Just keeping the gifts without Thanking Allah Subhanahu wa taala, We just say 'We are LUCKY'.

And when we are Hit with a Small Stone, which We call PROBLEMS, then only We look Up & Communicate with Allah Subhanahu wa taala.

He gives, gives and Forgives & We get, get and Forget! Astagfirullah

Especially at this time when the entire world is facing a crises, we all really need to turn back to Allah in sincere repentance.

Astagfaar is the only way wherein we could ask forgiveness from Allah Subhanahu wa taala and build that connection with Him 

 Alhamdulillah Allah Subhanahu wa taala blessed us with such loving families whom we ignored all this while and we were running behind Duniya forgetting them. This time that we've got is to make us realize how our degrees, job and possessions stand invaluable.

All that matters is our connection with our Rabb and to be grateful and thankful to Him for the lovely blessings that He's blessed us with.

Alhamdulillah ala kulli haal

107. Is Watching Movies & TV Harām?

The answer is yes, it is not permissible in Islām to watch movies, TV, or any videos in general if they contain any the following haraam content:

Music:

Any video which contains background music or music in general is haraam to listen to.

Opposite gender:

Any video which contains women (even if they're dressed “modestly”) is haraam for men to watch. Any video which contains men is not allowed for women to watch. Allāh commanded both men and women to lower their gazes.

Uncovering of ‘awrāh:

Any video which displays the 'awrah of a person is Haraam to watch (navel to knee). However, for a man, all of the woman is 'awrah for him and it's not permissible for him to look at any part of her (even her fingernails).

Haraam or Immoral actions/speech:

Any video which shows haraam or immoral actions is forbidden to watch.

Ex: Zina (fornication), Magic, Dancing, Free-mixing, Romance, touching/kissing/hugging between opposite genders, inappropriately dressed people, vulgar language, lewd & filthy topics, etc.

Spreading corrupt beliefs and calling for imitation of the kuffār:

Any video which promotes corrupt beliefs such as kufr, sodomy, adultery, etc.; or calls for the imitations of kuffār such as dressing like them, living like them, copying their lifestyle and social habits etc. - is not permissible to watch.

So O Muslims, beware of this growing Fitnah! Fear Allāh and do not fall into the sin of watching movies and TV. Its evil consequences are numerous and this is a sin which is present in the homes of many, many Muslims. Protect yourselves and warn your family and friends. This is a sin that should not be taken lightly.

"Tell the believing men to lower their gaze, and protect their private parts. That is purer for them. Verily, Allāh is All-Aware of what they do.

And tell the believing women to lower their gaze, and protect their private parts..."

[24:30-31]

“And of mankind is he who purchases idle talks (i.e. music, singing) to mislead (men) from the path of Allāh…”

[31:6]

106. Surah Al-Baqarah, Aayat No 195

وَأَنفِقُوا فِي سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ وَلَا تُلْقُوا بِأَيْدِيكُمْ إِلَى التَّهْلُكَةِ وَأَحْسِنُوا إِنَّ اللَّهَ يُحِبُّ الْمُحْسِنِينَ

And spend in the way of Allah and cast not yourselves to perdition with your own hands, and do good (to others); surely Allah loves the doers of good.

SubhanAllah..!! It's such a beautiful feeling to know that Allah Subhanahu wa taala loves the doers of Good.

Never Underestimate The Power Of A Good Deed. No matter how small or big it is.

Any GOOD DEED, even though it appears insignificant, you should not think little of it. Allah's view towards your good deed could build your pathway to Jannah In Shaa Allah

Having no interest in doing small Hasanat (Good Deeds) is a sign of weakness of faith. Boost your Imaan by doing small acts of goodness.

May be this small deed that you think is insignificant becomes the cause of your sins being forgiven, for Allah Subhanahu wa taala will appreciate good deeds of any nature and will forgive sins because of them.

At this time of difficulty that the entire world is facing, let us do our bit of goodness and please Allah Subhanahu wa taala.

The act could be as small as getting a smile on someone who is distressed, feeding a poor, sharing beneficial knowledge, passing on an authentic Islamic reminder, inviting someone for prayers, making dua'a for the Ummah, etc.

So don't think too much before doing Good Deeds. Just do them. Do them for the sake of Allah Subhanahu wa taala. And In Shaa Allah you'll see the Barakah, Allah Subhanahu wa taala blesses you with.

A simple act of caring, sharing, helping, etc can lead you straight to Jannah In Shaa Allah. So whenever you get an opportunity to do a Good Deed/Help someone, don't miss it. Just do it!

Remember that prostitute whom Allah Subhanahu wa taala forgive on just giving water to a thirty dog. SubhanAllah..!! No matter how small and insignificant your act might be, do it with complete sincerity. And In Shaa Allah you'll find the blessings of Allah being showered upon you.

It's easy to do good to people who do good to you, but the test is when you do good to the person who does bad to you.

Everyone doesn't carry the same heart as yours. If Allah choose you to understand and feel hearts, it's one of the biggest blessings. Cherish it and Be grateful.

So just keep doing good deeds expecting a reward from your Rabb alone. Cause no one can compensate you like how your Rabb will In Shaa Allah.

105. April 1st A Day Of Foolishness

My dear brothers and sisters do not involve yourself in the hideous act of this April fools day.

Impermissibility of April Fool’s Day
The Prophet salallahu ‘alayhi wa sallam said: 
"Woe to the one who talks to make the people laugh and tell lies, woe to him, woe to him!" [Sunan Abi Dawud 4990 | Hasan]


The Prophet salallahu ‘alayhi wa sallam said: 
"I guarantee a home in the middle of Jannah for one who abandons lying even if he is joking." [Sunan Abi Dawud 4800 | Hasan]

May Allāh Subhanahu Wa Ta’ala save all of us from this act. 

Aameen

104. 3 Ways Our Deeds Are Shown To Allah

By Asma bint Shameem 

Deeds are shown to Allaah Subhaanahu wa Ta’aala in three ways

1. Twice a day; Every morning and evening

The Prophet salallahu ‘alayhi wa sallam said:

“Allah, may He be glorified and exalted, does not sleep and it is not befitting that He should sleep. He lowers the Balance and raises it; the deeds of the night are taken up to Him before the deeds of the day, and the deeds of the day before the deeds of the night…”

(Saheeh Muslim)

2. Twice every week; every Monday and Thursday 

The Prophet salallahu ‘alayhi wa sallam said:

“People’s deeds are shown [to Allah] twice each week, on Monday and Thursday, and every believing slave is forgiven except a person between whom and his brother there is a dispute, and it is said, ‘Leave these two until they reconcile.’” 

(Saheeh Muslim)

3. Once every year; in Sha’baan

Usaamah ibn Zayd radhi Allahu anhu said: 

“I said: O Messenger of Allah, I do not see you fasting as much in any month as you fast in Ramadhaan.”

He salallahu ‘alayhi wa sallam said: 

“That is a month concerning which the people are heedless, between Rajab and Ramadhaan, but it is a month in which good deeds are taken up to the Lord of the Worlds, and I would like my deeds to be taken up when I am fasting.” (al-Nasaa’i- hasan by al-Albaani in Sahih al-Jaami’)

Thus our deeds are shown to Allaah Subhaanahu wa Ta’aala DAILY

WEEKLY

ANNUALLY.

 Ibn al-Qayyim said: 

“The deeds of the year are taken up in Sha’baan, as the truthful one (the Prophet salallahu ‘alayhi wa sallam) has told us. The deeds of the week are shown on Monday and Thursday, the deeds of the day are taken up at the end of the day before night comes, and the deeds of the night are taken up at the end of the night, before day comes. When a person’s life comes to an end, all his life’s deeds are taken up and the record of his deeds is closed.”

(Haashiyat Sunan Abi Dawood)

Of course, Allah is WELL AWARE of whatever we do ALL the time. There’s NOTHING that’s hidden from Him. And obviously we are supposed to do good deeds and acts of obedience ALL the time. 

But, these ahaadeeth ENCOURAGE us to do more good deeds. 

And they REMIND us that we should pay EXTRA attention to our thoughts and actions ESPECIALLY at the times when the deeds are being shown to Allah Subhaanahu wa Ta’aala.

This way we can be more CONSCIOUS of Allah at ALL times and REMEMBER that He’s WATCHING, no matter WHERE we are. 

And thus, we build TAQWA. 

That’s why the Prophet salallahu ‘alayhi wa sallam LOVED to FAST every Monday and Thursday. 

 He said:

“Deeds are shown (to Allah) on Mondays and Thursdays, and I would like my deeds to be shown when I am fasting.” (at-Tirmidhi - saheeh by al-Albaani)

And that’s why Ibn Rajab said:

“One of the Taabi’een used to weep in front of his wife on Thursdays and she would weep in front of him, and he would say: 

‘Today our deeds are being shown to Allaah Subhaanahu wa Ta’aala.” (Lataa’if al-Ma’aazif) 

So try your BEST. 

Be conscious of Allah at ALL times. 

FILL your days and nights with good deeds. 

Fast Mondays and Thursdays. 

Make the MOST of this month of Sha’baan. 

Then wait for the Mercy of your Rabb.

He will NEVER disappoint you. 

103. Things To Do Daily

1. Our Holy Prophet salallahu ‘alayhi wa sallam has said:
 whoever recites the first 4 ayats of Surah Baqarah, then Ayatul Kursi and then the last 3 ayats of Surah Baqarah will not be inflicted with any kind of difficulty in his wealth or himself, Shaitaan will not come near him and he will not forget the Qur’an.

2. Imam Ali alayhi wa sallam was told by our Holy Prophet salallahu ‘alayhi wa sallam : 
Qur’an is a great word, and Surah Baqarah is the leader of the Qur’an and Ayatul Kursi is the leader of Surah Baqarah. In Ayatul Kursi there are 50 words and for each word there are 50 blessings and good in it.

3. One who recites Ayatul Kursi every morning will be in the protection, safety of Allah until the night.

4. If one ties this to one's wealth or children, they will be safe from Shaytaan.

5. Our Holy Prophet salallahu ‘alayhi wa sallam has said: These things increase ones memory; sweets, meat of an animal near the neck, Adas(Lentils), cold bread and recitation of Ayatul Kursi.

6. For those of our dear ones who have passed away, recitation of Ayatul Kursi and giving it as Hadiya (Guidance) to them, gives them noor, light in the grave.

7. Frequent recitation makes one's own death easy.

8. When leaving home, if one recites it once, the Almighty has one group of Angels to come and protect you. If recited twice, 2 groups of Angels are assigned to do this. If recited 3 times Allah tells the Angels not to worry as the Almighty himself takes care of him.

9. The Holy Prophet salallahu ‘alayhi wa sallam has said: If one recites Ayatul Kursi before going to sleep, Allah will send an Angel to come and look after you and protect you till the morning. His home, family and also neighbors will remain in safety until morning.

10. When one is alone in the home, recitation of Ayatul Kursi and asking Allah to help will make you remain calm and you will not fear.

11. The Holy Prophet salallahu ‘alayhi wa sallam has said: When leaving home,if one recites Ayatul Kursi the Allah will send 70,000 Angels to do Istighfaar for him until he returns home, and upon his return Poverty will be removed from him.

12. If one recites this after doing Wudhu, the 5th Imam alayhi wa sallam has said: Allah will give him a reward of 40 years of Ibadaat, his position will be raised in the Heavens 40 times (levels) and will marry him to 40 Horains.

13. One who recites it after every prayer, their salaat will be accepted, they will remain in the safety of the Almighty and He will protect them.

14. Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta’ala told Prophet Musa alayhi wa sallam : If one recites it after every salaat, the Almighty will make his heart a thankful one(Shakireen), will give him a reward of the prophets, and his deeds will be like those of the truthful(Siddiqeen) and nothing except death will stop will stop him from going into heaven.

15. To increase light or vision (nur) in the eyes, recite Surah Al-Fatihah once, then Ayatul Kursi and then once the following dua:- “U-eedhu nura basaree binuril lahi alladhi la yutfaa”,

“I seek refuge for the light of my eyes by the light of 

Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta’ala, which does not become extinguished”.

102. 7 Destructive Sin

The Prophet salallahu ‘alayhi wa sallam said

Avoid the seven great destructive sins.

The people enquire, O Allah's Apostle! What are they? 

He salallahu ‘alayhi wa sallam said, 

1.To join others in worship along with Allah, 

2.To practice sorcery,

3.To kill the life which Allah has forbidden except for a just cause, (according to Islamic law), 

4.To eat up Riba (usury), 

5.To eat up an orphan's wealth, 

6.To give back to the enemy and fleeing from the battlefield at the time of fighting, and

7.To accuse, chaste women, who never even think of anything touching chastity and are good believers. 

_Sahih Al-Bukhari : 2766

101. Be Like Prophet Muhammed salallahu ‘alayhi wa sallam

Narrated Al-Aswad: I asked `Aisha what did the Prophet salallahu ‘alayhi wa sallam  use to do at home. She replied. "He used to keep himself busy serving his family and when it was time for the prayer, he would get up for prayer." [Reference: Sahih al-Bukhari 6039] 

Hisham said, "I asked 'A'ishah, 'What did the Prophet salallahu ‘alayhi wa sallam  do in his house?' She replied, 'He did what one of you would do in his house. He mended sandals and patched garments and sewed."[Reference: Al-Adab Al-Mufrad 540]

'Amrah Radiyallahu 'Anha reports that someone asked 'A'ishah Radiyallahu 'Anha. "What was the usual practice of Prophet salallahu ‘alayhi wa sallam  at home?" She replied: "He was a human from among other humans. He himself removed the lice from his clothing, milked his goats, and did all his work himself". [English Reference: Shama'il Muhammadiyah 325]

Narrated Al-Aswad bin Yazid: I asked `Aishah "What did the Prophet salallahu ‘alayhi wa sallam use to do at home?" She said, "He used to work for his family, and when he heard the Adhan (call for the prayer), he would go out." [Reference: Sahih al-Bukhari 5363]

Aswad bin Yazid narrated: "I said: 'O 'Aishah! What would the Prophet salallahu ‘alayhi wa sallam do when he entered his house?' She said: 'he would busy himself with serving his family, then when (the time for) Salat was due he would stand (to go) for it.'" [English Reference: Jami` at-Tirmidhi 2489]

It was narrated from Ibn 'Abbas that: the Prophet salallahu ‘alayhi wa sallam said: "The best of you is the one who is best to his wife, and I am the best of you to my wives." [English Reference:  Sunan Ibn Majah 1977]

100. Surah At-Taghabun, Aayat No 18

عَالِمُ الْغَيْبِ وَالشَّهَادَةِ الْعَزِيزُ الْحَكِيمُ

The Knower of the unseen and the seen, the Mighty, the Wise.

Heyy beautiful soul, ALLAH SUBHANAHU WA TAALA LOVES YOU!

"If you lost against your toxic desires and end up asking Him to make you a better you,

He loves you.

If the moon shines upon your tears on your insomniac nights,

He loves you.

If you can still go back to Him for forgiveness,

He loves you.

If you sit to talk to Him without opening your mouth and letting your soul speak the truths,

He loves you.

If you meet the two angels on your left and right, 5 times a day,

He loves you.

If death crosses your mind and ask Him for more time to get things right,

He loves you.

If He keeps your shattered heart together,

He loves you.

If you’ve been knocking on every door and no one opened it, He will always leave His door open, because

He still loves you.

If you vent to Him about things He told you not to get attached to,

He loves you.

If you pray for others just like you do for yourself,

He loves you.

If your stubborn heart softens of the thought about Him,

He loves you.

Allah Subhanahu wa taala loves you no matter what you've done. He is your Creator(Al-Khaliq). He loves you more than 70 mothers.

So, now imagine. How could He do something bad with you? How could He not answer your duas?

All that happens to you is by His will. Cause He knows about the unseen. And He knows what's Good or Bad for you.

So don't worry when things don't go as planned. Remember, I Plan, You Plan & We all Plan, But Allah Subhanahu wa taala is the BEST OF ALL PLANNERS.

99. Surah Luqman, Aayat No 16

يَا بُنَيَّ إِنَّهَا إِن تَكُ مِثْقَالَ حَبَّةٍ مِّنْ خَرْدَلٍ فَتَكُن فِي صَخْرَةٍ أَوْ فِي السَّمَاوَاتِ أَوْ فِي الْأَرْضِ يَأْتِ بِهَا اللَّهُ إِنَّ اللَّهَ لَطِيفٌ خَبِيرٌ

O my son! surely if it is the very weight of the grain of a mustard-seed, even though it is in (the heart of) rock, or (high above) in the heaven or (deep down) in the earth, Allah will bring it (to light); surely Allah is Knower of subtle ties, Aware;

Allah Subhanahu wa taala is Al-Latif (The Subtle One), Al-Khabeer (The Aware) & Ar-Raqib (The Watchful). He is the knower of the seen and unseen.

No matter how small the act of your goodness is, Allah sees it and knows about it.

No matter whats going on in your heart, Allah knows it.

Your pain, your sorrow, your fear, your anxiety, your worry, your love, your duas, Allah Subhanahu wa taala knows it ALL.

With Allah Subhanahu wa taala the reward for Goodness is nothing but Goodness.

When people do Bad to you, Betray you, Mock you, Insult you, You still do Good to them; cause that's what pleases your Rabb.

We hold expections from people. But remember, Expectations always hurt. Don't do anything with the intention of getting a reward from the Creation.

Cause there is nothing nothing at all that they can give us. They themselves are provided by the Creator.

So don't try to please the Creation while disobeying the Creator.

Allah Subhanahu wa taala is watching you 24*7 and He's well aware of everything that's in your heart.

Do Good to others with an intention of gaining a reward from your Creator alone.

And In Shaa Allah He'll bless you with the BEST IN ABUNDANCE.

Indeed Allah Subhanahu wa taala loves those who do Good and are Patient.

98. Surah Al-Mumenoon, Aayat No 118

وَقُل رَّبِّ اغْفِرْ وَارْحَمْ وَأَنتَ خَيْرُ الرَّاحِمِينَ

And say: O my Lord! forgive and have mercy, and Thou art the best of the Merciful ones.

Astaghfar removes anxiety and duas are answered.

Astaghfar opens the door of sustenance.

Astaghfar opens the door of mercy.

Astaghfar opens the door of knowledge.

Astaghfar is also gateway of productivity.

Astaghfar relieves you and grants you peace.

when you feel that sadness within you..

when you are disturbed and frustrated..

when anxiety surrounds you..

Say Astaghfirullah!! ("I seek forgiveness from Allah") Astaghfirullah!! ("I seek forgiveness from Allah")

A man once came to Al-Hasan al-Basri and complained to him:

“The sky does not shower us with rain.”

He replied: 

“Seek Allah’s forgiveness (i.e. say أستغفر ألله).”

Then another person came to him and said, “I complain of poverty.”

He replied: 

“Seek Allah’s forgiveness (i.e. say أستغفر ألله)."

Then another person came to him and complained, “My wife is barren; she cannot bear children.”

He replied: 

“Seek Allah’s forgiveness (i.e. say أستغفر ألله).”

The people who were present, said to Al-Hasan: 

“Everytime a person came to you complaining, you instructed them to seek Allah’s forgiveness?”

Al-Hasan al-Basri said, 

“Have you not read the statement of Allah? ‘I said “Ask forgiveness of your Lord. Truly He is Oft-Forgiving. He will send rain to you in abundance; increase you in wealth and children; grant you gardens and bestow on you rivers.” ” [Surah Nuh (71):10-12]

ALLAH HAS FULL ABILITY TO GIVE YOU ANYTHING YOU WANT! AND ONLY HE ALONE HAS THAT ABILITY.

ALLAH SUBHANAHU WA TAALA CAN RELIEVE US ALL FROM THIS CALAMITY THAT THE ENTIRE WORLD IS FACING IN SECONDS.

ALL WE NEED TO DO IS TURN BACK TO HIM WITH SINCERE REPENTANCE.

The Prophet Muhammad (Peace be upon him) said,

“Verily your Lord is Generous and Shy. If His servant raises his hands to Him (in supplication) He becomes shy to return them empty.” [Ahmad, Abu Dawud, Tirmidhi]

SubhanAllah!!

May Allah Subhanahu wa taala forgive the entire Ummah, protect each one of us and grant all our duas..

Aameeen Ya Rabbul Aalameen

إِنَّ رَبَّكُمُ اللَّهُ الَّذِي خَلَقَ السَّمَاوَاتِ وَالْأَرْضَ فِي سِتَّةِ أَيَّامٍ ثُمَّ اسْتَوَىٰ عَلَى الْعَرْشِ يُغْشِي اللَّيْلَ النَّهَارَ يَطْلُبُهُ حَثِيثًا وَالشَّمْسَ وَالْقَمَرَ وَالنُّجُومَ مُسَخَّرَاتٍ بِأَمْرِهِ أَلَا لَهُ الْخَلْقُ وَالْأَمْرُ تَبَارَكَ اللَّهُ رَبُّ الْعَالَمِينَ

Surely your Lord is Allah, Who created the heavens and the earth in six periods of time, and He is firm in power; He throws the veil of night over the day, which it pursues incessantly; and (He created) the sun and the moon and the stars, made subservient by His command; surely His is the creation and the command; blessed is Allah, the Lord of the worlds.

96. Islam: The Religion Of All Prophets

ISLAM is not a new religion but the final culmination and fulfillment of the same basic truth that ALLAH (God) revealed through all His Prophets to every people.

As there is only ONE GOD, there is only One Religion. 

Islam is the preserved pure religion of all prophets sent by ALLAH (GOD). 

Islam means the complete submission and obedience to Allah (God). 

Therefore, all prophets were indeed MUSLIMS because they were true submitters to the will of ALLAH, the Creator.

“Truly, the religion with Allah (God) is Islam. Those who were given the Scripture (Jews and Christians) did not differ except, out of mutual jealousy, after knowledge had come to them. And whoever disbelieves in the Ayat (proofs, evidences, verses, signs, revelations, etc.) of Allah, then surely, Allah is Swift in calling to account.” [The Noble Quran 3:19]

“And whoever seeks a religion other than Islam, it will never be accepted of him, and in the Hereafter he will be one of the losers.” [The Noble Quran 3:85]

(1) Prophet Abraham (peace be upon him) was a MUSLIM

“Ibrahim (Abraham) was neither a Jew nor a Christian, but he was a true Muslim Hanifa (Islamic Monotheism – to worship none but Allah Alone) and he was not of Al-Mushrikun (the disbelievers in the Oneness of Allah, idolaters, polytheists, pagans, etc.)” [The Noble Quran 3:67]

“And this (submission to Allah, Islam) was enjoined by Ibrahim (Abraham) upon his sons and by Ya’qub (Jacob)(saying), “O my sons! Allah has chosen for you the (true) religion, then die not except in the Faith of Islâm (as Muslims – Islamic Monotheism).” [The Noble Quran 2:132]

(2) Prophet Joseph (peace be upon him) was a MUSLIM

Joseph said: “My Lord! You have indeed bestowed on me of the sovereignty, and taught me something of the interpretation of dreams – the (Only) Creator of the heavens and the earth! You are my Wali (Protector, Helper, Supporter, Guardian, God, Lord) in this world and in the Hereafter. Cause me to die as a Muslim (the one submitting to Your Will), and join me with the righteous.” [The Noble Quran 12:101]

(3) Prophet Jacob and his sons were MUSLIMS

“Or were you witnesses when death approached Ya’qub (Jacob)? When he said unto his sons, “What will you worship after me?” They said, “We shall worship your Ilah (God – Allah), the Ilah (God) of your fathers, Ibrahim (Abraham), Isma’il (Ishmael), Ishaq (Isaac), One Ilah (God), and to Him we submit (in Islam, Muslims).” [The Noble Quran 2:133]

(4) Prophet Jesus (peace be upon him) and his disciples were MUSLIMS

“Then when ‘Isa (Jesus) came to know of their disbelief, he said: “Who will be my helpers in Allah’s Cause?” Al-Hawariun (the disciples) said: “We are the helpers of Allah; we believe in Allah, and bear witness that we are Muslims (i.e. we submit to Allah).” [The Noble Quran 3:52]

“And when I (Allah) revealed to Al-Hawarieen (the disciples)(of ‘Isa (Jesus)) to believe in Me and My Messenger, they said: “We believe. And bear witness that we are Muslims.” [The Noble Quran 5:111].

ALLAH (God) Almighty says in the Noble Quran:

“[18] Nay, We (Allah) fling (send down) the truth (this Quran) against the falsehood (disbelief), so it destroys it, and behold, it (falsehood) is vanished. And woe to you for that (lie) which you ascribe (to Allah by uttering that Allah has a son).”

“[19] To Him belongs whosoever is in the heavens and on earth. And those who are near Him (i.e. the angels) are not too proud to worship Him, nor are they weary (of His worship).”

[The Noble Quran 21:18-19]

95. Miswak

The Prophet salallahu ‘alayhi wa sallam   said:

“The MISWAK (tooth-stick) cleanses and purifies the mouth and pleases the Lord.” [An-Nasa’i]

One way, the Corona virus enters the body, is through the mouth.

Sayyidah ‘Aaishah radiyallaahu ‘anhu was asked, what was the first thing Nabi salallahu ‘alayhi wa sallam  would do when he  came home? She replied, ‘He would use the miswak.’

(Sahih Muslim, Hadith: 253)

Subhan ALLAH!

Amazing !

Look at the wisdom of this beautiful Sunnah!

Many of us are washing our hands regularly, especially when coming back home.

Here's another practical way of cleansing our mouths,use the miswaak ,which will  eliminate any germs that my have entered the mouth, out of the home !

Love the Sunnah !

Get back to our Deen !

Practice the Sunnahs !

Draw the Mercy of Allah !

Reap the rewards in Dunya and Aakhirah !

94. Last Words Of Nabi Kareem Subhanahu Wa Ta’ala

Suddenly, there was a person, he said," Salaam. "May I come in?"che asked. But Fatimah (radhi allahu ta'ala anha) did not allow him to enter the room. "I'm sorry, my father is ill," said Fatimah (radhi allahu ta'ala nha), turned her body back and closed the door. 

She went back to her father who had opened his eyes and asked Fatimah (radhi allahu ta'ala nha),"Who was he, my daughter?"

"I don't know, my father.It was the first time for me to see him," Fatimah (radhi allahu ta'ala nha) said gently. 

Then, Rasulullah Subhanahu Wa Ta’ala looked at his daughter with trembled look, as if he wanted to reminisce about every part of her daughter's face

"Know one thing! He is who erases the temporary pleasure; he is who separates the companionship in the world. He is the death angel," said Rasulullah Subhanahu Wa Ta’ala. 

Fatimah(radhi allahu ta'ala anha) bore the bomb of her cry.

The death angel came towards him, but Rasulullah salallahu ‘alayhi wa sallam asked why Jibril alayhi wa sallam did not come along with him.

Then, Jibril alayhi wa sallam was called. 

Jibril alayhi wa sallam was ready in the sky to welcome the soul of Habibullah and the leader of the earth.

"O Jibril, explain me about my rights in front of ALLAH" Rasulullah salallahu ‘alayhi wa sallam  asked with a weakest voice. 

"The doors of sky have opened, the angels are waiting for your soul. All jannats open widely waiting for you." Jibril alayhi wa sallam said. 

But, in fact, all this did not make Rasulullah salallahu ‘alayhi wa sallam  relieved, his eyes were still full of worry.

"You are not happy to hear this news?" asked Jibril alayhi wa sallam.

"Tell me about the destiny of my people in future?"

"Don't worry, O Rasululullah salallahu ‘alayhi wa sallam ."

"I heard ALLAH telling me." Make jannat haraam for every one, except the people of Muhammad salallahu ‘alayhi wa sallam who are inside it" Jibril alayhi wa sallam said.

It became closer and closer, the time for Malaekat Izrail (alayhisalam) to do his work. 

Slowly, Rasulullah's salallahu ‘alayhi wa sallam  soul was pulled. 

It was seemed that the body of Rasulullah salallahu ‘alayhi wa sallam  was full of sweat; the nerves of his neck became tight. "Jibril alayhi wa sallam, how painful this sakaratul maut is!" Rasulullah salallahu ‘alayhi wa sallam  uttered a groan slowly. 

Fatimah (radhi allahu ta'ala anha) closed her eyes, Ali (radhi allahu ta'ala anho) sat beside her bowed deeply and Jibril alayhi wa sallam turned his face back. 

"Am I repugnant to you that you turn your face back o Jibril alayhi wa sallam"? Rasulullah salallahu ‘alayhi wa sallam  asked the Deliverer of Wahy.

"Who is the one who could see the Habibullah in his condition of sakaratul maut," Jibril(alayhisalam) said.

Not for a while, Rasulullah salallahu ‘alayhi wa sallam  uttered a groan because of unbearable pain.

"O ALLAH, how great is this sakaratul maut.

Give me all these pains, don't give it to my people."

The body of Rasulullah salallahu ‘alayhi wa sallam  became cold, his feet and chest did not move anymore.

His lips vibrated as if he wanted to say something, Ali (radhi allahu ta'ala anho) took his ear close to Rasulullah salallahu ‘alayhi wa sallam .

"Uushiikum bis shalati, wa maa malakat aimanuku - take  care of the salaat and take care the weak people among you."

Outside the room, there were cries shouted each other, sahabah held each other.

Fatimah (radhi allahu ta'alaanha) closed her face with her hands and, again, Ali (radhi allahu ta'ala anho) took his ear close to Rasulullah's mouth which became bluish.

"Ummatii, ummatii, ummatii?'- My people, my people, my people." And the life of the noble man ended.

Could we love each other like him?

Allahumma salle 'ala Muhammad wa baarik wa salim 'alaihi.

How deep is Rasulullah's salallahu ‘alayhi wa sallam  love to us.

If you're a Muslim read this love is real

Why do we sleep in the masjid but stay awake in parties ?

Why is it so hard to talk to Allah but so easy to gossip?

Why is it so easy to ignore a Godly text message but re-send the nasty ones?

Are you going to send this to your friends or are you going to ignore it ? 

Allah said:

"If you deny me in front of your friends, I will deny you on the day of Resurrection" 

If each muslim says astaghfirullah wa atubu ilaih 3 times now and forwards it, In a few seconds billions will have said it . You've got nothing to loose so pass on..

Get up when you listen to the azaan, just like when you hear your phone ringing.

Read the Qur'an carefully, like you read your text.

Fear Allah, like you fear death

Remember death, like you remember your name

How many minutes does it take for each prayer

"FAJR" 4/6 Minutes

"ZUHR" 6/8 Minutes

"ASAR" 6/8 Minutes

"MAGHRIB" 5/7 Minutes

"ISHAA" 7/10 Minutes

Total 28/39  Minutes per day out of 24hours?

Let think about it do we really have time for Allah?

80% people will not forward this message, I hope you will.
