السلام عليكم و رحمة الله و بركاته 
Good morning! 
Glad tidings!
A great glad tiding that the Sahaba rejoiced with! 
Anas رضي الله عنه said _"We did not rejoice with any thing more after the advent of Islam, than this Hadith"_ 

[Anas رضي الله عنه narrates]
_A man came to the Prophet ﷺ and he said "When will the Hour be?" The Prophet ﷺ said, "What have you prepared for it?" The man said, *"Nothing, except that I love Allah and His Apostle."* The Prophet ﷺ said, _*"You will be with those whom you love."*_ _We had never been so glad as we were on hearing that saying of the Prophet (i.e., "You will be with those whom you love.") Therefore, I love the Prophet, Abu Bakr and Umar, and I hope that I will be with them because of my love for them though my deeds are not similar to theirs._
[Sahih al-Bukhari 3688]
_
This is exactly how we should be as well. 
Love the righteous, perhaps Allah ﷻ will make you among them! 
A man will be raised on Qiyamah with whomever he loves! 
_
It's ironic, because we know the reality and the extent of our love for Prophet ﷺ, we don't rejoice! We only remain hopeful to be truthful with our love!
By Allah ﷻ, When we hear this Hadith, we realise that *we love and idolise the wrong people!*
_
And as a stark contrast, the Sahaba رضي الله عنهم held a deep love, such a love that was so sincere and truthful, that when they heard this Hadith they rejoiced! 
_
And it is narrated, by Anas رضي الله عنه that they rejoiced at this Hadith more than anything! Because they knew that they loved the Prophet ﷺ more than themselves! 
_
In another Hadith 
The Prophet ﷺ said _"None of you truly believe [Perfected their Iman] until he loves me more than himself, his children and his parents"_
[Sahih al-Bukhārī 15, Sahih Muslim 44]
_
And to Love him means to emulate him ﷺ.
To send Salaam and Salawaat upon him ﷺ!
His actions ﷺ!
His appearance ﷺ!
His mannerisms ﷺ!
His mission ﷺ!
And to emulate him ﷺ above all others! 
_
This is true love!
True love is blind!
True love is unquestioning!
This is how we should be the Sunnah! 
An attitude of 
*سَمعًا و طَاعًا*

_Hear and obey!_
_
May Allah ﷻ make us among those who truly love and follow our beloved Prophet ﷺ
*آمين يا رب العالمين*

GIVE CHARITY FOR YOUR OWN GOOD

 DAILY ISLAMIC REMINDERS. Yawm Ath-thalaatha. 28th day of Shaw'waal, 1445AH (Tuesday 7th May 2024). *_GIVE CHARITY FOR YOUR OWN GOOD_*. Aameen.  Narrated Abu Hurairah [radhi-yAllahu 'anhu]: The Prophet (SallallahuAlaihiWasallam) said, "Charity is obligatory everyday on every joint of a human being.* If one helps a person in matters concerning his riding animal by helping him to ride on it or by lifting his luggage on to it, all these will be regarded as charity. A good word, and every step one takes to offer the compulsory congregational prayer is regarded as charity; and guiding somebody on the road is regarded as charity." [Sahih Al-Bukhari, 4/2891]. To show gratitude to ALLAH for keeping your body safe and sound, you should give in charity or do charitable deeds. Narrated Abu Hurairah [radhi-yAllahu 'anhu]: ALLAH'S Messenger (sallallahuAlaihiWasallam) said, "The strong is not the one who overcomes the people by his strength, but the strong is the one w

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 p
