 *Millennium Star⭐* [[------ Part 21 ------]] -------------------------------- بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم Sa’d ibn Abi Waqqas (r.a) stated: “I saw in a dream that it was extremely dark and I could not see anything. Suddenly, I saw that the moon had risen and I began walking towards it. However, I noticed that Zaid bin Haritha (r.a), Ali (r.a) and Abu Bakr (r.a) had started walking towards the moon before me. I asked them when they reached and they replied that they had just reached.” Mus‘ab, Sa‘d’s son, states that his father said to him, “My mother (i.e., Sa‘d’s mother) had made an oath that she would never speak to him unless he abandons his faith,” i.e., until he forsakes Islam. Accordingly, she stopped eating and drinking. Sa‘d (ra) further stated, “My mother said to me, ‘You say that Allah the Almighty instructs you to show kindness to your parents. I am your mother and therefore I instruct you to leave this faith and listen to what I have to say.’” The narrator states that she remain

 The zuhd of Umar ibn Khattab R A.  Zuhd is an often misunderstood term, most probably because, among certain people – namely, certain followers of Sufi orders it is taken to an extreme; or, it is understood only on a superficial level. In the Arabic language, a Zaahid – one who practices Zuhd – is someone who is abstemious, austere, and self-denying in his lifestyle. As an Islamic term, a Zaahid is someone who abjures worldly pleasures and comforts for the sake of Allah (swt), and because, through leading a self-denying existence in this life, he hopes to enjoy a comfortable and pleasure-filled life in the Hereafter. Based on this definition, ‘Umar (ra) was a paragon of Zuhd. Based on his understanding of the Noble Qur’an, based on his many years of close companionship with the Prophet (saw), and based on his contemplation of the universe around him, ‘Umar (ra) arrived at the conclusion that this world is a temporary abode, one that is nothing more than an examination hall for human b

 DAILY ISLAMIC REMINDER. Yawm athalaatha, 17th day of Jumaadal Uulaa, 1446AH (Tuesday, 19th November 2024). *_BEING PATIENT DURING DIFFICULT TIMES IS ACTUALLY AN ACT OF WORSHIP_*. BismilLahir Rahmanir Raheem.  If you have been sick and suffering, surely it is not easy. But again, know in your mind and believe in your heart that it is indeed better for you. For, if you bear patiently, it will be a means of expiation for your sins and a source of great reward. The Prophet (sal Allaahu Alaiyhi wa Sallam) said: 'There is nothing that befalls a believer, not even a thorn that pricks him, but ALLAH will record one good deed for him and will remove one bad deed from him.' (By Imam Muslim). On the Day of Resurrection, when people who had suffered afflictions are given their reward, those who were healthy will wish their skins had been cut to pieces with scissors when they were in the world (when they see the immense rewards for the afflictions they suffered).' (By ImamTirmidhi-Sahe

 DAILY ISLAMIC REMINDER. Yawm al-ithnayn, 16th day of Jumaadal Uulaa, 1446AH (Monday, 18th November 2024). *_LET'S DECLARE WAR AGAINST OUR SINS THROUGH GOOD DEEDS_*. BismilLah.  ALLAH in the Quran praised those who respond to evil with good deeds. Those who repel evil with good will find that their enemies will become their friends. ALLAH says: Not equal are the good deed and the bad deed. Repel evil by that which is better, and then the one who is hostile to you will become as a devoted friend. But none is granted it except those who are patient and none is granted it except one having a great fortune. Quran 41:34-35. Sheikh Ibn Abbas may ALLAH be pleased with him commented on this verse, saying: ALLAH commands the believers to be patient when they feel angry, to be forbearing when confronted with ignorance, and to forgive when they are mistreated. If they do this, ALLAH will save them from Satan and subdue their enemies to them until they become like close friends. Qur'an 41:

 The story of Imam Bukhari and how he regained his sight due to his mother's Dua.  When Imam Bukhari was three years of age, he lost his eyesight. His mother promised herself that she would pray tahajjud salah until Allah restores her son’s eyesight back. And that’s exactly what she did. She prayed tahajjud every night until one night in a dream she saw Ibrahim (as) give her the good news that Imam Bukhari’s eyesight had been restored. She ran to her son and when he awoke, he found himself with vision again. SubhanAllah, Alhamdhulillah, Allahu Akbar! Lessons for me: This mother didn’t go into a state of helplessness after her young child lost his eyesight. Being a single mother, she didn’t lose hope and become disheartened with the difficulty she would have to face with bringing up a son with a disability. She knew very well the power of dua. She knew the beauty that lies in praying tahajjud salah. She knew Allah comes down to the lowest heaven asking His servants to make dua to Hi

 Abdullah ibn Masoud and accepting of Islam Abdullah Ibn Mas`ud The First to Recite the Qur’an Aloud When still a youth, not yet past the age of puberty, he used to roam the mountain trails of Makkah keeping far away from the people, and tending the flocks of a Quraysh chieftain, `Uqbah ibn Mu`ayt. People called him “Ibn Umm `Abd”, the son of the mother of a slave. His real name was `Abdullah and his father’s name was Mas`ud. The youth heard the news of the Prophet who had appeared among his people but he did not attach any great importance to it both because of his age and because he was usually far from Makkan society. It was his custom to go with the flock of `Uqbah early in the morning and not return until nightfall. One day while tending the flocks, `Abdullah saw two dignified looking, middle-aged men coming towards him from a distance. They were obviously very tired and were so thirsty that their lips and throat were parched. They came up to him, greeted him and said, “Young man,
