A WOMAN THAT OFFERED HERSELF AS A SACRIFICE AND THUS EARNED THE PLEASURE OF HER LORD

*A WOMAN THAT OFFERED HERSELF AS A SACRIFICE AND THUS EARNED THE PLEASURE OF HER LORD*

*Tomorrow the sun will rise and gladden your heart.* Have you heard of the Juhani woman who made a mistake and committed zinā (fornication), then she remembered Allāh and turned to Him in repentance, and she came to the Messenger of ALLĀH (Blessings and Peace be upon him) wanting him to stone her and purify her? She came pregnant as a result of zinā, and said, "O' Messenger of ALLĀH, I have committed a sin that deserves a hadd (legal punishment), so carry out the punishment on me." The prophet (Blessings and Peace be upon him) called her guardian and said: "Treat her kindly, then when she gives birth come to me." He did that, then the prophet ordered that her clothes be tied tightly around her, then he ordered that she be stoned. Then he offered the funeral prayer for her. 'Umar said to him: "O' Messenger of Allāh, are you praying for her when she has committed zinā?" He (Blessings and Peace be upon him) said: "She has repented in such a way that if it were shared among seventy of the people of Madīnah, it would be sufficient for them. Can you find any better than one who sacrificed herself for the sake of Allāh?"

It was strong faith that motivated her to seek purification and to choose the Hereafter over this world. If she had not had such strong faith, she would not have preferred death by stoning.

Someone might object by saying, why did she commit zinā? Wasn't that no more than the result of weak faith? The answer is that a person may become weak and make a mistake, because he was created from weakness, and he may slip because he is created of haste (cf. Qur'an 21:37), and he may go astray for a brief moment because he is imperfect. But when the seed of faith grows in his heart and bears fruit, his good essence and strong faith will be made manifest. This is what made this woman rush to the Messenger of ALLĀH (Blessings and Peace be upon him) and ask him to purify her, so she sacrificed herself in pursuit of the pleasure, mercy and forgiveness of Allāh (Sub-haanahu wata'aala).

*"Do not be a chronic complainer, or an amateur complainer."*

NOTHING HAPPENS WITHOUT THE PERMISSION OF ALLAH

 DAILY ISLAMIC REMINDERS. Yawm Arba'a. 29th day of Shaw'waal, 1445AH (Wednesday 8th May 2024). *_NOTHING HAPPENS WITHOUT THE PERMISSION OF ALLAH_*. BismilLah.  Even though feelings of Panic, stress/worries etc are part of life, they must not reduce our acts of worship or trust in ALLAH. The more a man turns to ALLAH and focuses on HIM, the more he will feel a sense of peace and comfort, to an extent that no one knows except ALLAH. Hence those who know ALLAH, are close to HIM and fear HIM are the happiest of people, to such an extent that one of them said, in a well-known expression: “If the kings and the sons of kings knew what joy we have, they would fight us for it with the sword.” This is also what is expressed in the Qur’an, as ALLAH says: “Whoever works righteousness, whether male or female, while he (or she) is a true believer (of Islamic Monotheism) verily, to him ALLAH will give a good life (in this world with respect, contentment and lawful provision), and ALLAH will ...

One of the question asked is can a Christian enter Jannah today?

 One of the question asked is can a Christian enter Jannah today? Alhamdulillah, it is clear from Quran and hadiths that any christian who dies believing Jesus is God or son of God and do not believe in prophet Muhammad Peace be Upon Him will enter hellfire. Allah says, Al-Ma'idah 5:17 They have certainly disbelieved who say that Allāh is Christ, the son of Mary. Say, "Then who could prevent Allāh at all if He had intended to destroy Christ, the son of Mary, or his mother or everyone on the earth?" And to Allāh belongs the dominion of the heavens and the earth and whatever is between them. He creates what He wills, and Allāh is over all things competent. Allah says, Al-Ma'idah 5:72 لَقَدۡ كَفَرَ ٱلَّذِينَ قَالُوٓاْ إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ هُوَ ٱلۡمَسِيحُ ٱبۡنُ مَرۡيَمَۖ وَقَالَ ٱلۡمَسِيحُ يَٰبَنِيٓ إِسۡرَٰٓءِيلَ ٱعۡبُدُواْ ٱللَّهَ رَبِّي وَرَبَّكُمۡۖ إِنَّهُۥ مَن يُشۡرِكۡ بِٱللَّهِ فَقَدۡ حَرَّمَ ٱللَّهُ عَلَيۡهِ ٱلۡجَنَّةَ وَمَأۡوَىٰهُ ٱلنَّارُۖ وَمَا لِلظَّٰلِمِينَ مِنۡ أَنصَ...

Friday and it's dignity.

 Friday and it's dignity. Alhamdulillah, Allah says, Al-Jumu'ah 62:9 يَآأَيُّهَا ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُوٓاْ إِذَا نُودِيَ لِلصَّلَوٰةِ مِن يَوۡمِ ٱلۡجُمُعَةِ فَٱسۡعَوۡاْ إِلَىٰ ذِكۡرِ ٱللَّهِ وَذَرُواْ ٱلۡبَيۡعَۚ ذَٰلِكُمۡ خَيۡرࣱ لَّكُمۡ إِن كُنتُمۡ تَعۡلَمُونَ O you who have believed, when [the adhān] is called for the prayer on the day of Jumuʿah [Friday], then proceed to the remembrance of Allāh and leave trade. That is better for you, if you only knew. Friday is the best day of the week because it was the day Adam was created, the day he entered paradise and the day he was removed from paradise. it was also the day he died and the hour(qiyaamah) will not come except on this day. Sahih. It was narrated from Aws bin Aws that: The Prophet (ﷺ) said: "Whoever washes (ghassala) and performs ghusl, comes early to the masjid and sits near the imam and does not engage in idle talk, he will have for every step he takes (the reward of) a year's worth of good deeds, fasting it and...
