THE BLESSED COMPANY

You will be with whom you love

Allah ﷻ says in the Qur'an:


وَمَن يُطِعِ ٱللَّهَ وَٱلرَّسُولَ فَأُوْلَٰٓئِكَ مَعَ ٱلَّذِينَ أَنۡعَمَ ٱللَّهُ عَلَيۡهِم مِّنَ ٱلنَّبِيِّـۧنَ وَٱلصِّدِّيقِينَ وَٱلشُّهَدَآءِ وَٱلصَّٰلِحِينَۚ وَحَسُنَ أُوْلَٰٓئِكَ رَفِيقٗا


And whoever obeys Allah and the Messenger will be in the company of those blessed by Allah: the prophets, the people of truth, the martyrs, and the righteous—what honourable company!

[4:69]


Do you know what the cause of revelation for this Ayah is? 


Abu Nu’aym and Tabaraani narrated this Hadith,


On the Authority of Ai’sha رضي الله عنها, she said: 

A man came to the Prophet ﷺ and said “Oh Messenger of Allah! By Allah, Indeed you are more beloved to me than myself, my family, my children and anything else. Whilst I am in my house I remember you, and I am not able to remain patient until I come to you so that I look at you, and when I remembered my death and your death, I realised that when you enter Jannah you will be raised to be amongst the Prophets, and when I enter Jannah I am scared I won’t see you.”


The Prophet ﷺ did not respond to him, until Jibreel عَلَيْهِ ٱلسَّلَامُ descended with this Ayah, “And whoever obeys Allah and the Messenger will be in the company of those blessed by Allah: the prophets, the people of truth, the martyrs, and the righteous—what honourable company!"

[This was collected by Al-Hafiz Abu `Abdullah Al-Maqdisi in his book, Sifat Al-Jannah, Al-Tabari included it in his Tafsir (8/534-535)]

Another Hadith, equally as beautiful:


عن أنس ابن مالك قال:

أن رجلا سأل النبي ﷺ عن الساعة، قال متى الساعة؟ قال: و ماذا أعددت لها؟ قال: لا شيء إلا إني أحب الله و رسوله ﷺ

قال: أنت مع من أحببت.

قال أنس: فما فرحنا بشيء فرحنا بقول النبي ﷺ “أنت مع من أحببت"

Anas رضي الله عنه narrates that a man asked the Prophet ﷺ about Qiyamah. 

He said “When is Qiyamah?” He ﷺ said “and what have you prepared for it?” He said “Nothing except that I love Allah and His Messenger ﷺ”

The Prophet ﷺ said “You will be with whom you love”


Anas رضي الله عنه said “We did not rejoice with anything like we did with the saying of the Prophet ﷺ “You will be with whom you love.”

[Sahih al-Bukhari 3688]

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 ...

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...

So a stranger walking by saw his sister and he felt in love with her. She went to her and said I wa...
