LET'S REMIND EACH OTHER ON HOW TO PRAISE THE PROPHET AS HE TAUGHT US TO DO

 DAILY ISLAMIC REMINDERS.  Yaumul Jumuat, 26th day of Shaw'waal. (Friday, 27th of May, 2022).

*_LET'S REMIND EACH OTHER ON HOW TO PRAISE THE PROPHET AS HE TAUGHT US TO DO_*. BismilLah. 


Sending blessings upon the Prophet (blessings and peace of ALLAH be upon him) is one of the greatest acts of worship encouraged in Islam, and it is one of the most beneficial supplications for a person in this world and the hereafter, and it is one of the requirements of loving, venerating and respecting the Prophet (blessings and peace of ALLAH be upon him) and giving him his rights. It's a command from ALLAH for us to do so for our own benefit not for the Prophet to benefit in anyway as he is already guranteed Jannatul Firdaus. 


With regard to the ideal way of sending blessings upon the master of mankind (blessings and peace of ALLAH be upon him), there are two sunnah ways of doing that. Among the soundest and most well-known of these ways are the two format that the Prophet (blessings and peace of ALLAH be upon him) taught his Companions (may ALLAH be pleased with them) when they asked him how they should send blessings upon him. These two ways are as follows: 

(A)

“Allaahumma salli alaa Muhammad wa alaa aali Muhammad kamaa swalayta alaa Ibraaheem wa alaa aali Ibraaheem, innaka hameedum majeed. Allaahumma baarik alaa Muhammad wa alaa aali Muhammad kama baarakta alaa Ibraaheem wa alaa aali Ibraaheem, innaka hameedum majeed (O ALLAH, send prayers upon Muhammad and upon the family of Muhammad, as You sent prayers upon Ibraaheem and upon the family of Ibraaheem; You are indeed Worthy of Praise, Full of Glory. O ALLAH, send blessings upon Muhammad and upon the family of Muhammad as You sent blessings upon Ibraaheem and upon the family of Ibraaheem; You are indeed Worthy of Praise, Full of Glory).” Narrated by al-Bukhaari (3700) and Muslim (406).


(B)

“Allaahumma swalli alaa Muhammadin wa alaa azwaajihi wa dhurriyyatihi kama swalayta alaa Ibraaheem, wa baarik alaa Muhammadin wa alaa azwaajihi wa dhurriyyatihi kama baarakta alaa aali Ibraaheem, innaka hameedun majeed (O ALLAH, send Your salaah (grace, honour and mercy) upon Muhammad and upon his wives and offspring, as You sent Your swalaah upon Ibraaheem, and send Your blessings upon Muhammad and upon his wives and offspring, as You sent Your blessings upon the family of Ibraaheem. You are indeed Praiseworthy, Most Glorious).” 

Narrated by al-Bukhaari (3369) and Muslim (407). 


The Prophet (blessings and peace of ALLAH be upon him) did not choose anything but that which is noblest and best. Please let's follow what the prophet taught us and its more than enough for us. 


It is better to vary the phrases used, switching between the versions that have been narrated, sometimes reciting one and sometimes reciting another, so as to follow the Sunnah and sharee‘ah, and so that always reciting one version does not lead to neglecting another which is also proven. Please remember to take your pure bath(ghusul for jumuat), brush your teeth, wear nice clothing and recite suuratul Kahf Quran chapter 18 as the prophet recommended. Please recite at least 10 salawaat to the prophet today if you can't recite 100 or 1000.  


*_May ALLAH accept it from us all and purify our intentions_*. Aameen.

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...
