A Glimpse From The Life Of Abu ‛Ubaidah ‛Aamir ibn Jarrah (may Allah be pleased with him)

 *A Glimpse From The Life Of Abu ‛Ubaidah ‛Aamir ibn Jarrah (may Allah be pleased with him)*

    *____________________*

      ```Very Important```


*An eminent Companion and one of the 'Ten Promised Paradise', his name was ’Aamir ibn ’Abdullah ibn Jarrah ibn Bilal Qurashi Fihri (may Allah be pleased with him). He took part in all the battles including Badr and Uhud along with the Messenger of Allah (may the peace and blessings of Allah be upon him). He was among the second wave of migrants to Abyssinia (modern Ethiopia). The Messenger of Allah (may the peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) praised him and said, "Every Ummah has a trustee and the trustee of this Ummah is Abu ‛Ubaidah ibn Jarrah (may Allah be pleased with him)." When ‛Umar ibn al-Khaṭṭaab (may Allah be pleased with him) visited him in Syria while he was the governor there, he was in a poor state. ‛Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) remarked, Abu ‛Ubaidah (may Allah be pleased with him), the world has changed all our lifestyles save yours.' He died of the plague in Amwas in 18 After the Hijrah. The funeral prayer was led by Mu‛aadh ibn Jabal (may Allah be pleased with him).*


*When ‛Umar ibn al-Khaṭṭaab (may Allah be pleased with him), the Commander of the Faithful, set out on his historic journey to receive the keys of Jerusalem, people rushed out from their houses to get a glimpse of him. The Muslim army had marched to a place called Jabiya under the command of Abu ‛Ubaidah (may Allah be pleased with him), to receive the Commander of the Faithful. When ‛Umar (may Allah be pleased with him), arrived in Jerusalem, he said,*


*"There is no deity worthy of being worshipped but Allah. We were a lowly people. Allah gave us honour and prestige through Islam. Whatever means we use other than Islam to acquire honour and prestige, Allah will make us lowly."*


*The Commander of the Faithful then told the soldiers to disperse and he walked on alone with utmost humility. As the chieftains came close to him, he said, "Keep away from me. Where's my brother, Abu ‛Ubaidah ‛Aamir ibn Jarrah (may Allah be pleased with him)?"*


*Abu ‛Ubaidah (may Allah be pleased with him) stepped forward. He hugged him and wept with joy. ‛Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) asked, "Abu ‛Ubaidah (may Allah be pleased with him), what answer will we have on the Day of Resurrection when Allah asks us how we fared after His Messenger (may the peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) had left?" Abu ‛Ubaidah (may Allah be pleased with him) replied, "Come, let's get away, out of the sight of the people, and weep in seclusion." As both of them walked away from the crowd, all eyes followed them including those of the soldiers, noblemen, Christians and their monks and priests. Finally, the two went behind a tree and stood there crying for a long time.*

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 ...

HELPING OTHERS WITH INTENTION FOR ALLAH'S HELP IN RETURN

 DAILY ISLAMIC REMINDER. Yaum Al-Khamis, 22nd day of Jumaadal Uula 1447AH, Thursday, 13th November, 2025.  *_HELPING OTHERS WITH INTENTION FOR ALLAH'S HELP IN RETURN_*. BismilLah.  When we help our brothers and sisters in Islam, in reality, we are helping ourselves. The Messenger of ALLAH (S.A.W) said: He who relieves the hardship of a believer in this world, ALLAH Azzawajallah will relieve his hardship on the Day of Judgment. He who makes easy what is difficult, ALLAH ALLAH Azzawajallah will make it easy for him in the world and the hereafter. He who conceals the faults of a Muslim, ALLAH ALLAH Azzawajallah will conceal his faults in this ALLAH Azzawajallah world and the Hereafter, for ALLAH helps the servant as long as he helps his brother. Source: Ṣaḥīḥ "Muslim 2699. AlhamdulilLah.  With this I hope with immediate effect we will all strive to help each other in any possible way such as making dua for each other, supporting our relatives and those in need in ou...

BEST TIME FOR TAHAJJUD

 *BEST TIME FOR TAHAJJUD* It is best to delay this prayer to the last third portion of the night. Abu Hurairah reports that the Messenger of Allah said: "Our Lord descends to the lowest heaven during the last third of the night, inquiring: 'Who will call on Me so that I may respond to him? Who is asking something of Me so I may give it to him? Who is asking for My forgiveness so I may forgive him?"' This is related by the group. 'Amr ibn Abasah reports that he heard the Prophet say: "The closest that a slave comes to his Lord is during the middle of the latter portion of the night. If you can be among those who remember Allah, the Exalted One, at that time then do so." This is related by al-Hakim who grades it sahih according to Muslim's standards, and at-Tirmizhi calls it hasan sahih. AnNasa'i and Ibn Khuzaimah also recorded it. Abu Muslim asked Abu Zharr: "Which late-night prayer is the best?" He said: "I asked the Messenger of A...
