Catching the Takbeer-i-Tahrima

The Messenger of Allah (sal Allahu alaihi wa sallam) said: 
“When you come upon an ongoing congregational prayer (Jamaat), join it. If you have offered your prayer already, the prayer you are going to offer in the congregation will be supererogatory (Nafl) for you. The prayer that you offered at your home becomes your obligatory (Fardh) prayer. Two guarantees will be given to him who offers the prayer from its Takbeer-i-Tahri ma for forty days. One is the Guarantee of Salvation from Hell and the other is the Guarantee of Immunity from Hypocrisy.” [Abu Dawud, Salaat]
The Takbeer-i-Tahri ma is the first “Allahu-Akbar” with which we start the prayer and fold our hands. This Hadith gives us the good news of being secured from the punishment of Hell and from a thing which is worse than disbelief – hypocrisy. These two pledges of protection are issued by Allah (subhana wa ta’ala) to that man who arrives in time for each of his five prayers in the Masjid, so as not to miss the Takbeer-i-Tahri ma for a continuous period of forty days. In addition, this Hadith informs us that if one has already prayed but comes upon a group of Muslims praying in Jamaat, they should not pass the opportunity of earning additional rewards by praying with them. Their additional prayer will count as Nafl for them even though it is the Fardh prayer of the group.
 One day when the Messenger of Allah (sal Allahu alaihi wa sallam) was offering prayer, a Companion named Yazeed (radi Allahu anhu) came to see him. He waited for the Jamaat to be over. When the Messenger of Allah (sal Allahu alaihi wa sallam) completed his prayer, he noticed that Yazeed (radi Allahu anhu) had not prayed with the Jamaat. So the Messenger of Allah (sal Allahu alaihi wa sallam) said, “Haven’t you become a Muslim yet?” Yazeed (radi Allahu anhu) replied, “Why, yes, Rasulullah. I am a Muslim.” Then the Messenger of Allah (sal Allahu alaihi wa sallam) asked him, “What prevents you from participating in the Jamaat then?” Yazeed (radi Allahu anhu) replied, “I thought that you had already offered the prayer here, so I performed my prayer at home (before coming).” Thereupon, the Messenger of Allah (sal Allahu alaihi wa sallam) said, “When you come upon an ongoing congregational prayer, join it. If you have offered your prayer already, the prayer you are going to offer in the congregation will be supererogatory (Nafl) for you. The prayer that you offered at your home becomes your obligatory (Fardh) prayer. Two guarantees will be given to him who offers the prayer from its Takbeer-i-Tahri ma for forty days. One is the Guarantee of Salvation from Hell and the other is the Guarantee of Immunity from Hypocrisy.” [Abu Dawud, Salaat]

"SUICIDE" in islam

The Prophet (sallallähu alaihi wasallam) said,

"Whoever purposely throws himself from a mountain and kills himself, will be in the (Hell) Fire falling down into it and abiding therein perpetually forever; and whoever drinks poison and kills himself with it, he will be carrying his poison in his hand and drinking it in the (Hell) Fire wherein he will abide eternally forever; and whoever kills himself with an iron weapon, will be carrying that weapon in his hand and stabbing his abdomen with it in the (Hell) Fire wherein he will abide eternally forever." 
[Bukhari Book:71 No:670]

Earn the Reward of an Accepted Hajj Everyday!

The Prophet (Sallallähu alaihi wa sallam) said:
“The pious offspring who casts a singlelook of affection at his parents receives a reward from Allah equal to the reward of an accepted Hajj.”
The people enquired: “O Prophet of Allah, if someone casts a hundred such glances of love and affection at his parents, what then?”
The Prophet (Sallallähu alaihi wa sallam) said:
 “Yes, indeed, even if one does so a hundred times a day, he will get a hundred fold reward. Allah is far greater than you imagine and is completely free from petty narrow mindedness.” [Sahih Muslim]

Warning to Men

Jabir (radi Allahu anhu) narrates that the Prophet (sal Allahu alaihi wa sallam) also gave these instructions in his sermon during the Farewell Pilgrimage
. "Fear Allah regarding women; for you have taken them (in marriage) with the trust of Allah." [Mishkat]
This warning establishes the sanctity and inviolability of women's rights. In this teaching, men have been cautioned that although they are the guardians of women, they should not exercise this responsibility without concern and fear of accountability before Allah (subhana wa ta’ala).
 They should be mindful that Allah (subhana wa ta’ala) is a witness between them and their wives, and it is through His commandment and permission that women have been made lawful for them through marriage. Women are therefore in Allah's protection. If husbands are cruel or unjust, they are guilty of breaching their trust with Allah. How great an honour this is for women and how stern is the warning for their guardian husbands that they should remember that women are in Allah's protection. (Ma 'Arif al- Hadith)
The wife is therefore entrusted to the man on a sacred pledge to which Allah (subhana wa ta’ala) is a party. Islam teaches that in this union the function of the woman is not only to gratify physical desires: On the contrary, she is viewed as the most qualified partner of man in shaping the character of family and society, for the realisation of the ultimate aims of human existence.

Are We Jannat Focus or Duniya Focus.?

Are We Jannat Focus or Dunya Focus.?

The Answer is obvious that most are dunya focus. Lets study and share to others in Shaa Allah. I've taking more time to prepare this from a lecture I listened last night so pls share it to others. What's the purpose of life to focus on? Allah says "And I (Allah) created not the jinns and humans except they should worship Me (Alone) (Quran 51 vs 56).

 Are we really focusing on His worship?

 Lets note that Allah does not need any help from us, we rather need him as He says "O mankind! it is you who stand in need of Allah, but Allah is Rich (Free of all wants and needs), Worthy of all praise. If He will, He could destroy you and bring about a new creation. And that is not hard for Allah. (Quran 35 vs 15-16). 

Lets note that the suffering we go through are mainly from ourselves as Allah says "Truly! Allah wrongs not mankind in aught; but mankind wrong themselves." (Quran 10:44).

 Lets strive to focus on Jannat with the ultimate goal of seeing Allah in Shaa Allah. Allah says on judgement day He will command those of us who obeyed Him to "Enter Paradise, you and your wives, in happiness. Trays of gold and cups will be passed round them, (there will be) therein all that the one's inner-selves could desire, all that the eyes could delight in, and you will abide therein forever. This is the Paradise which you have been made to inherit because of your deeds which you used to do (in the life of the world). (Quran 43 vs 71-73)

. Sheitan is jealous of all Allah has promised us and says "Because You have sent me astray, surely I will sit in wait against them (human beings) on Your Straight Path. Then I will come to them from before them and behind them, from their right and from their left, and You will not find most of them as thankful ones (i.e. they will not be dutiful to You)." (Allah) said (to Iblis) "Get out from this (Paradise) disgraced and expelled. Whoever of them (mankind) will follow you, then surely I will fill Hell with you all." (Quran 7 vs 17-18) 

Allahu Akbar Kabeerah. Allah again says "Surely, Shaitan (Satan) is an enemy to you, so take (treat) him as an enemy. He only invites his Hizb (followers) that they may become the dwellers of the blazing Fire.(35 vs 6). NOTE that most hard times and calamities in our lifes may be blessings in disguise so that we can look back, correct our mistakes and focus on Jannat. May Allah keep guiding us from satanic was and aid us to abide by His commands and grant us the opportunity to see Him in Jannat by His Rahmah. Amin

The Third is the Shaytaan

Rasul Allah (sal Allahu alaihi wa sallam) said:
“Whenever a non- mahram man and woman meet in seclusion, Shaytaan definitely is the third one joining them.” [Tirmidhi]
What this hadith means is that Shaytaan arouses their passions and incites them to commit evil. Prevention is better than cure. Fornication and adultery rip to shreds the psychological health of society. Since the family is the building block of society, for a society to be healthy, it must have healthy families that constitute it. To prevent any situation arising which might harm the family unit, Islam nips the source of problems in the bud. A person is responsible not only for himself or herself but for the spiritual, emotional, psychological and physical well being of their children as much as it is in their control. From their children will arise many more generations.
Keeping this in mind we have to do our best to provide as healthy a moral environment as we can so we are not held responsible for the destruction of future generations.
 “If the breakdown of the family and female security is to be averted, only two strategies are available: firstly, members of society may be conditioned to believe that sexuality is from the devil, and should inspire feelings of guilt and distaste; or secondly, sexuality may be accepted as the loving expression of a natural human need, in which case the sexes must be separated, within reason, to avoid the risk of the temptation of weak souls and hence their unchastity.”
 “Historically, the first of these two choices has been that of Christianity, while Islam has opted for the second. The modern Western attitude, in which there is both an obsession with sexuality and a casual mingling of men and women, and which has resulted in massive promiscuity (and hence infidelity, divorce, abortion and disease) does not represent an ethically coherent system.”

Stay Centrally Located

Rasul Allah (sal Allahu alaihi wasallam) said:
“Allah has written for the son of Adam his inevitable share of adultery whether he is aware of it or not: The adultery of the eye is the looking (at something which is sinful to look at), and the adultery of the tongue is to utter (what it is unlawful to utter), and the inner self wishes and longs for (adultery) and the private parts turn that into reality or refrain from submitting to the temptation.” [Sahih Bukhari]

 Immodesty, obscenity and any form of adutery be it of the eyes, ears, tongue or thoughts makes a hole in the heart. Through this hole leaks out eeman. So no matter how much you try to fill your heart with eeman, it will constantly flow out because of this hole. While an inappropriate thought might occur to anybody, as the Shaytaan is always trying to inspire people with these, yet it is the person who decieds whether to entertain such ideas, discussion, temptation or turn away from them. If you are on a plateau, the more centrally you stand the safer you are. The more you get closer to the sides, the greater is the danger that you might fall off the edge.
 Therefore, to avoid the major form of adultery, the more we stay away from the minor forms of it, i.e. the adultery of the eyes, tongue, ears and thoughts, the safer we will be.
 Avoid movies that glamorize the immoral. Avoid hearing obscene talk. If an indecent thought occurs to you, seek refuge with Allah (subhana wa ta'ala) from the Shaytaan and don't entertain such thoughts.

BOOK OF FATE

Rasul Allah (sal Allahu alaihi wa sallam) said:
 “Bear in mind that if all the people combined together to grant you some benefit, they would not be able to do it unless Allah has determined it for you. And that if all of them combined together to do you harm, they would not be able to do it unless Allah has determined it for you. The pens have been set aside and writings of the Book of Fate have become dry.” [Tirmidhi]
 The important lesson to understand from this hadith is that we must not fear death, loss or reproach in obeying the commands of Allah (subhana wa ta’ala), for only that harm will come to us which is already destined to. A believer should not be frightened by the number or resources of the enemies of Allah. This should never determine whether they should obey Allah or not, as this hadith tells us that they can not do any harm unless Allah has destined it for them. And if that is the case that harm will come anyway, but the believer will be rewarded for obeying the commands of Allah (subhana wa ta’ala).
 Unfortunately, we find Muslims helping to hurt and kill other Muslims today, using as an excuse that harm would come to them otherwise. We need to develop our understanding of qada wal qadar to become righteous.

DEATH ON HER WEDDING NIGHT!!!

[True Story]
“After performing Salat Al
Maghrib, she put her make-up,
wore her beautiful white dress
preparing herself for her wedding
party, Then she heard the Adhan
of ‘Ishaa and she realized that she
broke her Wudu she told her
mother : “mother, I have to go to
make wudu and pray ‘Ishaa”
Her mother was shocked : “Are
you crazy?!! Guests are waiting
for you, to see you! what about
your make -up? It will be all
washed away by water!!” then
she added:
” I am your mother and I order
you not to perform salah now!
wallahi if you make wudu now, I
will be angry at you”
Her daughter replied :”wallahi I
won’t go out from here till I
perform my salah! Mother you
must know that “There is no
obedience to any creature in
disobedience to the Creator.”!!
Her mother said:”what would our
guests say about you when you’ll
show up in your wedding party
without make-up?! You won’t be
beautiful in their eyes! and They
will make fun of you!”
The daughter asked with a
smile :”Are you worried because I
won’t be beautiful in the eyes of
creations? What about my
Creator?! I am worried because, if
I miss my salah, I won’t be
beautiful in His eyes”
She started to make wudu, and all
her make-up was washed away,
but she didn’t care
Then she began her salah and at
the moment she bowed down to
make sujud, she didn’t realize that
it will be her last one!
Yes! She died while in sujud! What
a great ending for a Muslimah
who insisted on obeying her
Lord! Many people who heard her
story were so touched!!
She put Him and His obedience
first in her priorities, so He
granted her the best ending that
any Muslim would have!
She wanted to be closer to Him, so
He took her soul in the place
where Muslim are the closest to
Him! Subhana Allah!
She didn’t care if she would be
beautiful in the eyes of creatures
so she was beautiful in the eyes
of Her Creator!
O Muslim sister, imagine if you are
in her place!
