 Today’s Beautiful Hadith is about Generosity   Abu Hurayra (ra) said, "The Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, was asked, 'Which people are the most generous?'' He replied, 'The most generous of them in the sight of Allah are those with the most taqwa.' They said, 'That is not what we are asking about.' He said, 'The most generous of people was Yusuf (as), the Prophet of Allah, son of the Prophet of Allah, who was the son of the Intimate Friend of Allah (Ibrahim (as)).' They said, 'That is not what we are asking about.' He said, 'Are you asking about those of Arab origin?' 'Yes,' they replied. He said, 'The best of you in the Jahiliyya is the best of you in Islam when you have understanding from Allah)." (Al-Adab Al-Mufrad 129, Book 7, Hadith 1) The most generous of people are those with an understanding of Islam in their hearts. If everything you do is from a good place then all that yo...

 *Powers of Bismillah* --------------------------------- بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم The Story of ‘Bismillah’ and the hairdresser of Pharaoh’s daughter and her children. It was narrated that Ibn ‘Abbaas (may Allah be pleased with him) said:  The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: “On the night on which I was taken on the Night Journey (Isra’), a beautiful fragrance came to me.  I said: O Jibreel, what is this beautiful fragrance❓ He said: This is the fragrance of the hairdresser of Pharaoh’s daughter and her children. I said: What is their story❓ He said: Whilst she was combing the hair of Pharaoh’s daughter one day,, the iron comb fell from her hand and she said,, ‘Bismillaah (in the name of Allah).’ The daughter of Pharaoh said: ‘My father❓’ She said: ‘No. My Lord and the Lord of your father is Allah.’ She said: ‘I will tell him about that.’ She said: ‘Yes.’ So she told him and he summoned her and said: ‘O So and so, do you have a Lord other ...

 Shirk is the dangerous sin in islam.  Alhamdulillah, the first and foremost sin in islam is shirk.  Shirk means to associate partners with Allah.  Allah says from the Quran,  An-Nisa' 4:48 إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ لَا يَغْفِرُ أَن يُشْرَكَ بِهِۦ وَيَغْفِرُ مَا دُونَ ذَٰلِكَ لِمَن يَشَآءُۚ وَمَن يُشْرِكْ بِٱللَّهِ فَقَدِ ٱفْتَرَىٰٓ إِثْمًا عَظِيمًا  Indeed, Allāh does not forgive association with Him, but He forgives what is less than that for whom He wills. And he who associates others with Allāh has certainly fabricated a tremendous sin. Allah says again,  An-Nisa' 4:116 Indeed, Allāh does not forgive association with Him, but He forgives what is less than that for whom He wills. And he who associates others with Allāh has certainly gone far astray. No matter the sin one commits and comes to Allah without shirk, Allah will forgive him. As reported in hadith, Abd Allaah (bin Masud) said “I asked Apostle of Allaah(ﷺ) which sin is the gravest?” He replied “That y...

 The world as a prison of the believer.  Alhamdulillah,  This dunya(world) is nothing and a home of trials for a  believer.  Allah says,  Al-'Ankabut 29:64 وَمَا هَٰذِهِ ٱلْحَيَوٰةُ ٱلدُّنْيَآ إِلَّا لَهْوٌ وَلَعِبٌۚ وَإِنَّ ٱلدَّارَ ٱلْءَاخِرَةَ لَهِىَ ٱلْحَيَوَانُۚ لَوْ كَانُوا۟ يَعْلَمُونَ  And this worldly life is not but diversion and amusement. And indeed, the home of the Hereafter - that is the [eternal] life, if only they knew. As reported in hadith,  Jabir ibn 'Abdullah reported that the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, passed through the market, entering from part of the high part of the city and the people were on both sides of him. He passed by a dead one-eared goat and reached out and took its ear. Then he said, "Who would like to buy this for a dirham?" They said, "Why would we want it when it is worthless? What would we do with it?" He said, "Would you like to have it?" "No," they replied. He as...

BismilLah.  ALLAH says  in Qur'an 29:64 وَمَا هَذِهِ الْحَيَاةُ الدُّنْيَا إِلاَّ لَهْوٌ وَلَعِبٌ And this life of the world is only an amusement and a play! ALLAH tells us how insignificant and transient this world is and how it will soon end. All that it is, is amusement and play: وَإِنَّ الدَّارَ الاْإخِرَةَ لَهِيَ الْحَيَوَانُ Verily, the home of the Hereafter  that is the life indeed, meaning the true everlasting life that will never end, but will continue forever and ever. لَوْ كَانُوا يَعْلَمُونَ if they but knew meaning, they would prefer that which will last over that which will pass away. Then ALLAH says that at times of calamity, the idolators call upon HIM alone, with no partner or associate, so why do they not do that all the time! Narrated Abu Hurairah [radhi-yAllahu 'anhu]: Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) said,"The first group (...

 The story to reflect.  Being a practicing Muslim.  Alhamdulillah, lets praise and thank Allah always for giving us health and finding ourselves to be Muslims.  There lived two boys who were good friends and always do everything together.  They use to spend time in the masjid and pray always on-time.  One-day, they were walking on the path and then saw a very old man who was lying there half dead.  The two boys looked as the man was lying helplessly and then went to his rescue  They took a cup of water from their jug and gave the man to drink.  The man looked at them as he was surprised.  The man said to the boys,  Who are you?  They replied we are from so and so area?  The man said to them,  Thank you as they made the man to sit on the chair.  The boys were amazed and went further and then came back to see how the man was?  As they came, the man was not there and left a note saying,  I am thankful to y...

Yes. Az-Aubairi said: *"If we compared Aisha's knowledge to all women, Aisha would surpass them.”* Hisham lbn Urwa (a prominent narrator of hadith) said: *‘I have never seen anyone who could have knowledge of an ayah (Quranic verse), an obligatory act, a Sunnah act, poetry, history, lineage, judgement, or medicine better than Aisha (r.a.).

BismilLah.  Unfortunately, due to our weak eemaan,  some are happy to disobey ALLAH or to even sin to please their parents, children, wives, etc. ALLAH warns us in Qur'an 80:33 فَإِذَا جَاءتِ الصَّاخَّةُ When there comes the Deafening Blast, meaning the thunderous shout of the Day of Judgement. It has been called this because it will deafen the ears. This means that the hearing of the trumpet pierces the hearing to such an extent that it almost deafens the ears Astaqfirullah.   يَوْمَ يَفِرُّ الْمَرْءُ مِنْ أَخِيهِ وَأُمِّهِ وَأَبِيهِ. وَصَاحِبَتِهِ وَبَنِيهِ On the day, a man will flee from his brother, his mother, his father, his wife, and his children.  ALLAH added, لِكُلِّ امْرِيٍ مِّنْهُمْ يَوْمَيِذٍ شَأْنٌ يُغْنِيهِ Every man that Day will have enough to make ...

 Today’s Beautiful Hadith is about Correctness Salman said, "The people of correctness in this world are the people of correctness in the Next World." (Al-Adab Al-Mufrad 223, Book 11, Hadith 3) In this beautiful Hadith, we are told who the people of Paradise are. How you are in this life will determine who you are in the next life. Aim to be righteous, do good and remember Allah at all times. InshaAllah, Paradise will be permitted for you. Today's Beautiful Hadith is about Blessings upon the Prophet (SAW) Abu Hurairah (RA) narrated that: Allah's Messenger said: "Whoever sends Salat upon me, Allah sends Salat upon him ten times." (Jami` at-Tirmidhi 485, Book 3, Hadith 33) Can you imagine our Creator, Allah (SWT) sending salat upon us ten times? What an honour and blessing! Send blessings and prayers upon the Prophet (SAW) every single day.

 *Name Ur Child Aisha* [[--- Part 15-of-16 ---]] --------------------------------- بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم Nana Aisha's role during Caliphate: Due to her knowledge of Quran and Sunnah/Hadith, Aisha (r.a.) became involved in the politics of early Islam and the first three caliphate reigns. During a time in Islam when women were not expected, or wanted, to contribute outside the household, Aisha delivered public speeches, became directly involved in war and even battles, and helped both men and women to understand the practices of the Messenger of Allah (pbuh). During Caliphate of her father Abu Bakr Siddiq (ra), Aisha was honored with titles *‘Al-Siddiqa bint Al-Siddiq’ - the truthful woman, daughter of the truthful man*. During Caliphate of Umar Ibn Khattab (r.a.), Aisha (r.a.) continued to play the role of a consultant in political matters. During Caliphate of Uthman ibn Affan (r.a.), Aisha had little involvement with him for the first couple years but eventually she found a way in...

 The prohibition to talk while imam delivers khutbah.  Alhamdulillah, as we know it is forbidden for the person who comes to jum'uah to talk while imam delivers the khutbah.  As reported in hadith,  It was narrated from Abu Hurairah that the Prophet (ﷺ) said: “If you say to your companions: ‘Be quiet’ on a Friday while the Imam is delivering the sermon, you have engaged in Laghw (idle talk or behaviour).”.” Sunan ibn Majah Vol. 1, Book 5, Hadith 1110. Narrated Ibn 'Abbas (RA):: Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) said: "Whoever speaks on Friday while the Imam is giving the Khutbah (religious talk), he is like a donkey which carries books; andhe who tells him to be quiet has no Jumu'ah." [Reported by Ahmad with an acceptable chain of narrators]. Bulugh ul maram.  Book 2, Hadith 374. So talking while imam delivers, one has no reward for the friday prayer.  Some scholars even say one has to pray the prayer again after the imam finishes the prayer.  So one is to keep si...

BismilLah.  AlhamdulilLah for blessing us to be part of this blessed day of the week.  ALLAH says, فَإِذَا جَاءتِ الطَّامَّةُ الْكُبْرَى But when there comes the Great Catastrophe, this refers to the Day of Judgement. يَوۡمَ يَتَذَكَّرُ ٱلۡإِنسَٰنُ مَا سَعَىٰ  The Day when man shall remember what he strove for, meaning, at that time, the Son of Adam will reflect upon all of his deeds, both the good and the evil. وَبُرِّزَتِ ٱلۡجَحِيمُ لِمَن يَرَىٰ  And Hell shall be made apparent for whoever sees, meaning it will become apparent for the onlookers, so the people will see it with their own eyes.

 The story to reflect. Being content with what Allah has given us.  Alhamdulillah, lets remind ourselves as verily in the remembrance of Allah do hearts find satisfaction.  There lived a woman with her children. This woman was a cripple woman and her children used to take care of her always.  They always make sure their mother is taken good care of.  One-day, the children came to their mum and this mother then passed away.  As this mother passed away, the children were gazing in amazement to what has happened to them.  So frustrated of what they saw, they could not bear it. The children because of the love of their mother, they could not do anything in their life  Seeing all hope is lost for them One-day as they were there, a man came to visit them and was looking good, the children said this man is the most happiest and nothing is worrying him.  The stranger said to them,  I have problems but i know no one can heal me except myself and ...

 Question asked can a woman marry without the knowledge of her wali (Guardian) Alhamdulillah, it is not permissible for a woman to marry without knowledge of her guardian As reported in hadith,  Aishah narrated that: The Messenger of Allah said: "Whichever woman married without the permission of her Wali her marriage is invalid, her marriageis invalid, her marriage is invalid. If he entered into her, then the Mahr is for her in lieu of what he enjoyed from her private part. If they disagree, then the Sultan is the Wali for one who has no Wali.".  Jami` at-Tirmidhi 1102. So if a man marries a woman and she has no wali, the sultan or judge becomes her wali.  And whatever takes between them like intercourse, she is not to pay the mahr price but the marriage should be annul unless there is a wali of the woman.  The reason wali is needed is because women are weak and so when any matter arises in the marriage, the wali can stand for them as a protector.  Allah sa...

 Today’s Beautiful Hadith is about Blessings upon one another Narrated Jabir ibn Abdullah (RA): A woman said to the Prophet (ﷺ): Invoke blessing on me as well as on my husband. The Prophet (ﷺ) said: May Allah send blessing on you and your husband. (Sunan Abi Dawud 1533, Book 8, Hadith 118) The woman in this Hadith did not ask only for blessings for herself, but her husband too. We should see our spouses as our companions and shower them with our love, compassion and mercy, praying for them and the best for them in this life and the next. This beautiful Hadith not only shows the wonderful nature of the woman who asked for her husband the very thing she asked for herself, but also how giving the Prophet (SAW) was in that a request was made and immediately he made a dua, remembering Allah and blessing the couple. He (SAW) never said no to anyone. Alhamdulillah for our Prophet (SAW).

 DAILY ISLAMIC REMINDER. Yawm Al-Khamis, 23rd day of RabeeulAwwal, 1446AH (Thursday, 26th September 2024). *_DON'T WORRY ABOUT YOUR PAST SINS, JUST REGRET, REPENT SINCERELY, AND WITNESS THE BLESSINGS OF ALLAH IN YOUR LIFE_*. BismilLah.  Never doubt about the promise of ALLAH to mankind. In the Quran, we find many verses that show how ALLAH will increase HIS blessings on us if we repented and asked HIM for forgiveness. Remember what Prophet Nuuh (Noah, peace be upon him) said to his people: “I told them, ‘Seek ALLAH’s forgiveness, for verily HE is the One that forgives frequently. HE will then send the skies upon you (with rain) in abundance. And HE will increase your wealth and children, and bestow upon you gardens, and bestow upon you rivers’”. (Quran, 71: 10-12). Allahu Akbar. Do you need anything more than wealth and children? If ALLAH blesses you with these, then HE would add anything else that goes with the 2 such as health and happy lifestyle. Just stop the wrong doings,...

 A question asked what are the conditions for the prayer(As solaah) to be accepted.  Solaah is the second pillar of islam.  And there are conditions for the solaah to be accepted. First one should be a muslim Then one should purify his clothing. Thirdly one should have intention to pray. Fourthly, one should be in state of Ablution. Fifthly, one should face the qiblah. One should make takbeeratul ihram One should recite fatiha. One should make ruku and straighten his back touching his knees. One should stand for qiyaam after ruku'. One should make sujud upon seven body parts, the nose, forehead, the knees, the palms, the foot. One should sit for the tashahud and recite the At Tahiyyat. One should make the tasliim by saying, As salaamu Alaykumus salaam warahmatullaahi wabarkatuhu. May Allah aids and accepts our ibadah. Aamin

BismilLah.  ALLAH says in Qur'an 35 vs 5. يَٰٓأَيُّهَا ٱلنَّاسُ إِنَّ وَعۡدَ ٱللَّهِ حَقٌّۖ فَلَا تَغُرَّنَّكُمُ ٱلۡحَيَوٰةُ ٱلدُّنۡيَاۖ وَلَا يَغُرَّنَّكُم بِٱللَّهِ ٱلۡغَرُورُ  O mankind! Verily, the promise of ALLAH is true, meaning the Resurrection will undoubtedly come to pass. فَلَ تَغُرَّنَّكُمُ الْحَيَاةُ الدُّنْيَا So, let not this present life deceive you, means, `this life is as nothing in compare to the great good that ALLAH has promised to HIS close friends and the followers of HIS Messengers, so do not let these transient attractions distract you from that which is lasting.' وَلَا يَغُرَّنَّكُم بِاللَّهِ الْغَرُورُ and let not the chief deceiver deceive you about ALLAH.

 *Be Amongst the Best* -------------------------------- بسم الله الرحمان الرحيم The person who sacrifices *15minutes shopping for rewards* in the night establishing Tahajjud for say - 30days out of every 30days in a month (without missing) is far far far better & most beloved to Allah (swt) than a person who sacrifices *60minutes everyday establishing Tahajjud for just 7days out 30days* in a month. Yes. The best deeds are those done on a continuous basis. Evidence: عن أبي هريرة قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ *اكْلَفُوا مِنْ الْعَمَلِ مَا تُطِيقُونَ فَإِنَّ خَيْرَ الْعَمَلِ أَدْوَمُهُ وَإِنْ قَلَّ* Abu Huraira reported: The Messenger of Allah,  (PBUH) said, *“Take up good deeds only as much as you are able, for the best deeds are those done regularly even if they are small"* 📚Source: Sunan Ibn Majah 4240 *Get the Simple Mathematics:* Let assume you wake up by say 2AM, use 3minutes to perform ablution, use 2minutes to get dressed, use 5minutes...

 Today’s Beautiful Hadith is about Destiny It was narrated that Suraqah bin Ju'shum (ra) said: "I said: 'O Messenger of Allah (ﷺ), is one's deed in that which has already dried of the Pen and what has passed of the Divine Decree, or is it in the future?' He said: 'No, it is in that which he already dried of the Pen and what has passed of the Divine Decree, and each person is facilitated for what he has been created.'" (Sunan Ibn Majah 91, Introduction, Hadith 91) We are told about destiny to avoid feeling too much joy at good news and despair at times of tribulation. Allah knows what is best, you have to trust Him and know that what is meant to happen will and nothing can harm or benefit you without His permission. Praise Allah for the good in your life and turn to Him when things get tough. You'll get through whatever life throws at you if you only have faith, Insha'Allah.

BismilLah.  ALLAAH says in the holy Quran;  “And among HIS Signs is this, that HE created for you wives from among yourselves, that you may find tranquillity in them, and HE has put between you affection and MERCY. Verily, in that are indeed signs for a people who reflect.” [Al-Qur’an 30: 21].   Marriage is an institute that can be as firm as a rock or weak as a thread. It is up to the partners to make it either one.  We have to learn to be tolerant of each other for the MERCY of ALLAH to flow in the marriage or else sheitan takes over and mess up the marriage.   Marriage is a great Sunnah and an act of worship.  It is the responsibility of both husband and wife to give 100% effort to make their marriage successful and their home peaceful and Islamic solely for ALLAH sake.

 *Midnight Medicine* -------------------------------- بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم Tahajjud prayer is one of the best treatment therapy of various sicknesses or diseases. Yes. People who consistently establish Tahajud prayer will have the immune system so not susceptible to harm, demonic attacks or diseases. Evidence: Rasulullah (pbuh) said, *“Do night prayer because it is a tradition of pious people before you, a means of getting closer Allah, prevention of sin, erasing wrongdoings, and preventing all kinds of diseases from the body.”* 📚(Tirmidhi) Although, Sleep is an important part of living and is a way of recharging our batteries to prepare ourself to continue our daily activities, squandering the entire hours of the night sleeping without Tahajjud, suggests that the night have not been better utilized in a more productive way. Above all, Tahajud prayer offer us hope of making Du'a which meet acceptance. Evidence: “Every night Allah Tabaraka Wa Ta’ala descends (to the heavens of th...

 The story to reflect.  Always be patient in life  There once lived a man who was seeking to have a watch and has tried always to buy a watch but could not afford.  He only had a cup and he saw this cup has no use to him.  One-day, he brought the cup and exchanged it for a watch. He was so happy as he had the watch.  As he was going ahead, he felt thirsty and was passing by some merchant who also said anyone who has a cup will drink the water  The man came closer opened the bag but realized he had exchanged the cup for a watch.  Now he has no cup to get water and finally realized he had been given something precious but failed to treasure and admire it.  A lesson for us to reflect.  Whatever we have, lets treasure it and be patient with it. Maybe it will be useful to us someday. Lets not eye what others have to make us fail to realize what we have..

 The deen of islam and what is islam.  Islam means submission from the root سلم=slim meaning submit.  Allah s.w.t says in Quran,  Al-Baqarah 2:208 O you who have believed, enter into Islām completely [and perfectly] and do not follow the footsteps of Satan. Indeed, he is to you a clear enemy. Entering islam is to surrender to Allah.  With worshipping him alone(tawheed) and being sincere to him in worship That is islam.  And one cannot enter islam without declaration of faith which is laa ilaha illa Allah, muhammadur rasuulullaah. That is to say there is none worthy of worship except Allah and muhammad is his messenger.  This is what makes one a muslim We proclaim by the tongue as the heart confirms and action acts upon it.  This is the true declaration of faith.  Many muslims utter this kalimatayn yet associate partners with Allah and going to soothsayers and when something happens to them alledged it on something or someone.  This is ku...

The other two ‘Hafiza’ are Hafsa bint Umar (ra) and Umm Salama (ra). *Lessons:* Our Relationship With Qur'an Should Be Kept Alive.

 FAJR REMINDER: *BECOMING ALLĀH'S FRIEND* By: Umm Affān  Rabī' Al-Awwal 20, 1446 (23-September-2024) Imagine if Allāh Himself were to call you His friend. Who among us would not yearn for such a privilege, such a Divine Favor? Yet, to be His friend, His beloved, one must possess the twin jewels in the crown of righteousness, the twin great all-inclusive qualities. The first, Al-Eemān; the true belief in the Oneness of Allāh - i.e. singling Him out in His Lordship, Worship, and Names and Attributes. For without faith, how can one be His friend? How can one truly understand the path He has laid before us, and the guidance He has given? Then, the second, At-Taqwā; the consciousness of Allāh, the awareness of His Omnipresence, His Omniscience. Without having the fear of (displeasing) Allāh, without respect for His Authority, how can one hope to be His friend? Notably, being a Walī (friend of Allāh) is not limited to certain believers over others. It's something that has been ma...

 DAILY ISLAMIC REMINDER. Yawmul ahad, 19th day of RabeeulAwwal, 1446AH (Sunday, 22nd September 2024). *_AN EXCELLENT WAY IN GETTING CLOSER TO ALLAH AND HIS MESSENGER_*. Bismillaah. Islam teaches us to utilize our time, money, and our knowledge for the sake of ALLAH.  Sponsor an orphan. The Messenger of ALLAH (sallallahu alaihi wasallam) said, “I will be like this in Jannah (Paradise) with the person who takes care of an orphan.” The Messenger of ALLAH raised his forefinger and middle finger by way of illustration. This is very vital since sponsoring an orphan costs but a fragment of our income, and the reward for taking care of orphans is beyond what we can imagine in this life.  Always keep these two words in your mind and libs:  AlhamdulilLah and AstaghfirulLah.  AlhamdulilLah keeps you closer to ALLAH while AstaghfirulLah keeps you away from Sins. *_May ALLAH (Azza Wa Jal, The Mighty, and the Majestic) aid us through our little efforts and grant us good healt...

 The story to reflect.  The Amanah from the hadith and lessons from it.  Abu Huraira reported God’s Messenger as saying, “A man of those who were before your time bought some real estate from another, and the buyer found in what he had bought a jar containing gold. The buyer told the other to take his gold from him as he had bought from him only the property and had not bought the gold from him, but the man who had sold the land said he had sold him the land and its contents. They brought the matter before another for decision and he asked whether they had any children. When one said he had a boy and the other said he had a girl, he told them to marry the boy to the girl and spend* some of the gold on them and givesadaqa.” *While the dual has been used with reference to the two men, the plural is used for “marry" and “spend’’. (Bukhari and Muslim.) This hadith teaches us of Amanah and how the people see it as.  The man feared he sold the land and do not wish to take ...

 The story to reflect.  The story of the wealthy man and his worker.  There once lived a wealthy man who had a worker who was sincere to him and served him for many years.  One-day, this worker decided to retire but the wealthy said to him to build a very beautiful house for him. He want to gift it to someone closer to him The worker was jealous why he did not have such house so he built it any how for his master.  After the house was built, the worker said to the wealthy man,  I have gift this house for you to stay as you have been dutiful to me all these years.  The worker regretted of building the house anyhow and said had i wish i was to get the house, I would have built it more beautiful.  A lesson for us is, lets always do everything with a clean heart if we want to always attain happiness.

 DAILY ISLAMIC REMINDER. Yawm As-Sabt, 18th day of RabeeulAwwal, 1446AH (Saturday, 21st September 2024). *_LET'S STRIVE TO BE POSITIVE ALL THE TIME,  FOR BETTER FOR WORSE_*. BismilLah. If your character is negative, you have the power and the choice to do what it takes to alter it. The greatest power we have as human beings is the power of choice. Even Angels don't have that power. They are commanded to do whatever ALLAH wishes but ALLAH has giving us the power of choice to act good for HIS Paradise or act bad for HIS hell fire.  Almighty ALLAH says in Quran [76:3] “I have shown human being the way to be either grateful or ungrateful.” This is simply about choice, either to be thankful and turn towards the way of ALLAH or being ungrateful and turn towards your own heart desires. We must always seek guidance and forgiveness from ALLAH through dua such as the following; "Our Lord! We have indeed believed: forgive us our sins, and save us from the punishment of the Fire"...

*Name Ur Child Aisha* [[--- Part 13-of-16 ---]] --------------------------------- بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم After Messenger of Allah’s (pbuh) death, which ended their fourteen-year long marriage, Nana Aisha (r.a.) lived, as per different sources, 47-48 more years, mostly in Madinah. Much of her time was spent learning and acquiring knowledge of the Quran and the Sunnah.. Nana Aisha (r.a.) was one of three wives of the Prophet (pbuh) who was ‘Hafiza’ of Quran (memorizer of Quran). The other two ‘Hafiza’ are Hafsa bint Umar (r.a.) and Umm Salama (r.a.). *Lessons:* Our Relationship With Qur'an Should Be Kept Alive Even if you can be amongst those who memorize complete Quran, at least, you should be amongst those who strive to create time out of - *"so-called No Time"* - to recite Quran outside swalawat everyday. Today, Majority of muslims EXCEPT SHORT QURAN RECITATION DURING 5 DAILY OBLIGATORY prayers, have not read upto 50pages (5 Izb) of Quran since we left 2024 Ramadan. Yes....

 *Zero Phone Touch* -------------------------------- بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم The Friday prayer is to be offered in the masjid, in the congregation by the Muslim men. The Friday prayer are not obligatory for Muslim women. They can offer simple 4 rakaats zuhr prayers at home. But if by chance women pray it in the masjid as men did behind imam, they did not do anything wrong. Servant of Allah! Majority of Muslims today lose all their rewards expected to be gained by attending jummah prayer behind imam on Friday just because they did not know things they do which nullify their rewards (ie - abominable things they do while imam has commenced sermon). *Some of These Abominable Acts Include:* ▪️ Pressing phone or even answering calls ▪️ Playing with things like our fingers or any body part, clothes, items, car keys etc. ▪️One should not come between two people sitting next to each other, unless there is sufficient space between them that they did not fill. ▪️Those attending the Jumu'ah sho...

 DAILY ISLAMIC REMINDER. Yawmul Jumuat, 17th day of RabeeulAwwal, 1446AH (Friday, 20th September 2024). *_SOME VERSES ABOUT THE QUR'AN IN THE QURAN_*. BismilLaahir Rahmanir Raheem.  Let's find out what ALLAH says about the Qur'an within the Qur'an just to boost our eemaan that we are indeed in the straight path to Paradise when we follow the teachings of the Qur’an through the Prophet Muhammad sallallahu alaiyhi wassallam.  ALLAH says to the nearest meaning; "This [Qur'an] is enlightenment for mankind and guidance and mercy for a people who are certain [in faith]. Surat Al-Jathiyah 45:20. And indeed, [O Muhammad] sallallahu alaiyhi wassallam, you receive the Qur’an from one Wise and Knowing. Surat An Naml 27:6. [That] indeed, the Qur’an is a word [conveyed by] a noble messenger (Angel Gabriel, Jibril). Surat At-Takwir 81:19. The revelation of the Book is from ALLAH, the Exalted in Might, the Wise. Surat Al-Jathiyah 45:2. AlhamdulilLah. Send me your favourite ve...

 Today’s Beautiful Hadith is about State of Prayer It was narrated that Abu Sa'eed (ra) said: "The Messenger of Allah (saw) led us for the Maghrib prayer. Then he did not come out until half the night had passed. Then he came out and led them in prayer, then he said: "The people have prayed and gone to sleep, but you are still in a state of prayer so long as you are waiting for the (next) prayer. Were it not for the weak and the sick, I wanted to delay this prayer until the middle of the night.'"  (Sunan Ibn Majah, Book 2, Hadith 27) Be mindful of others when praying and hold close your Salah.

Beautiful Hadith is about False Hair Asma', daughter of Abu Bakr, reported that a woman came to Allah's Apostle (ﷺ) and said: I have married my daughter (whose) hair of the head has fallen. Her spouse likes them (the long hair). Allah's Messenger (may add false hair to her head? He forbade her to do this. (Sahih Muslim 2122c, Book 37, Hadith 177) Allah has blessed everyone differently. Do not deceive anyone and unless you need a procedure for medical reasons, be sure to seek advice beforehand in terms of permissibility.

 The steadfast on tawheed.  Tawheed التوحيد is the oneness of Allah.  Allah says,  Say: He is Allah, One and Only. Surah 112;1. Allah says,  Aal-e-Imran 3:18 شَهِدَ ٱللَّهُ أَنَّهُۥ لَآ إِلَٰهَ إِلَّا هُوَ وَٱلْمَلَٰٓئِكَةُ وَأُو۟لُوا۟ ٱلْعِلْمِ قَآئِمًۢا بِٱلْقِسْطِۚ لَآ إِلَٰهَ إِلَّا هُوَ ٱلْعَزِيزُ ٱلْحَكِيمُ  Allāh witnesses that there is no deity except Him, and [so do] the angels and those of knowledge - [that He is] maintaining [creation] in justice. There is no deity except Him, the Exalted in Might, the Wise. The message of all messengers is worshipping Allah.  Allah says,  Al-Anbiya 21:25 وَمَآ أَرْسَلْنَا مِن قَبْلِكَ مِن رَّسُولٍ إِلَّا نُوحِىٓ إِلَيْهِ أَنَّهُۥ لَآ إِلَٰهَ إِلَّآ أَنَا۠ فَٱعْبُدُونِ  And We sent not before you any messenger except We revealed to him that, "There is no deity except Me, so worship Me." Tawheed is the key to jannah.  As reported,  Narrated Ibn `Abbas: When the Prophet (ﷺ) sent Mu`ad...

 *RIGHTEOUS DEEDS* The Greatest of Righteous Deeds - Sheikh Al-Albani  أعظم الأعمال الصالحة هو الإيمان كما جاء في الحديث الصحيح : ( أنّ النبيّ صلّى الله عليه وسلم سأله رجل قال : عن أفضل الأعمال قال : الإيمان بالله تبارك و تعالى ). The greatest of righteous deeds is Imaan (belief) as it has come in the authentic hadith: "That a man asked the Prophet ﷺ about the greatest of actions, so he ﷺ said: Imaan in Allah tabaraka wa ta'la." فالإيمان عمل قلبي مش كما يظن بعض الناس أنه لا علاقة له بالعمل لا ، . So, Imaan is an action of the heart. It is not like how some people assume that Imaan has no correlation with (physical) actions, no! الإيمان أولاً لا بدّ من أن يتحرّك القلب بالإيمان بالله ورسوله  (Rather) Imaan is firstly, that the heart must be moved with the Iman of Allah and His Messenger. ثم لا بدّ أن يقترن مع هذا الإيمان الذي وقر في القلب أن يظهر ذلك على البدن و الجوارح Then, it is a must with this Iman that has become firmly established in the hearts that it becomes appare...

 The Sunnah and what is it.  Alhamdulillah, sunnah means path.  Allah mentioned the name sunnah in Quran as path of the prophet  Allah says,  Al-Isra' 17:77 سُنَّةَ مَن قَدْ أَرْسَلْنَا قَبْلَكَ مِن رُّسُلِنَاۖ وَلَا تَجِدُ لِسُنَّتِنَا تَحْوِيلًا  English - Sahih International [That is Our] established way for those We had sent before you of Our messengers; and you will not find in Our way any alteration. Whenever Allah says or command the prophet in something to do, Allah says this is the path(sunnah) of the prophets.  Sunnah is the path by practicing the sayings of the prophet from the hadith.  There are two wahy(revelation) in islam.  The Quran and hadith and this is where we get our command from as Muslims.  Anything apart from these two is innovations and misguidance As Allah says,  An-Nisa' 4:59 يَٰٓأَيُّهَا ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُوٓا۟ أَطِيعُوا۟ ٱللَّهَ وَأَطِيعُوا۟ ٱلرَّسُولَ وَأُو۟لِى ٱلْأَمْرِ مِنكُمْۖ فَإِن تَنَٰزَعْتُمْ فِى ش...

 The story to reflect.  Always be grateful to Allah.  Alhamdulillah, there once lived a cripple girl who lived with her families.  The families were very rich and had everything to give to this girl but all her life, she wished she could walk even losing all things.  So one-day, as she was unhappy on her wheelchair, she then came across a young girl of her age who was walking as she met her.  This cripple girl said to her,  What is your wish in life?  The girl said to the cripple girl, i have no wish except to get a family to care for me like you. I always feel jealous of you.  The cripple girl said you should not as you have legs to walk.  All of the wished they were like eachother.  A lesson is that in life we should value how we are and how Allah made us. Because Allah knows why he made us like that.  May Allah guides our Eeman and make our life beneficial. Aamin

 DAILY ISLAMIC REMINDER. Yawm Al-Khamis, 16th day of RabeeulAwwal, 1446AH (Thursday, 19th September 2024). *_A VALUABLE LESSON_*. BismilLah.  Our beloved Messenger of ALLAH, peace and blessings be upon him and his family, said: When ALLAH intends to punish a group of people for their disobedience, the punishment afflicts everyone among them. Then, they are resurrected according to their deeds. Sahih Muslim 2879. Wakeup call.  This hadith highlights the fact that we CANNOT be quite when we noticed evil or bad deeds ongoing such as zina, betting/gambling and religious innovations in our Muslim communities else when ALLAH'S punishment descend, it will affect us all and that's exactly the condition of the ummah today so let's wake up from our silence and speak with wisdom and knowledge beginning from our own relatives.  *_May ALLAH keep guiding us all and protect us from any satanic influences_*. Aameen.

 FAJR REMINDER: *THE TREACHEROUS MIRAGE* By: Umm Affān  Rabī' Al-Awwal 16, 1446 (19-September-2024) The lure of wealth, the intoxication of greed, they seduce the unwary, leading them astray, step by step, until they find themselves lost in a wilderness of sin, far from the light of righteousness, far from the path of salvation. Yet, those who indulge in unlawful wealth-making may be blind to their peril, ensnared by the very poison they chase, a poison that dulls their conscience, clouds their judgment, and hardens their heart. Subḥānallāh! All that glitters isn't gold. A Ḥadīth came to mind. The Messenger of Allāh (ﷺ) said: *“If you notice that Allāh continues to bless an individual with that which he loves of this world, while that person persists to indulge in sin, know that this is leading to his destruction.”* [Silsilah As-Ṣaḥīḥah 1/700] Yes, he thinks it's good for him, but, in actual sense, it's otherwise.  More so, Shaykh Ibn 'Uthaymīn (Raḥimahullāh) said: ...

 *Name Ur Child Aisha* [[--- Part 12-of-16 ---]] --------------------------------- بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم When the Prophet (pbuh) became ill, after returning from the farewell pilgrimage, he felt that he was about to die. He (pbuh) began to ask his wives whose home/room he was to stay in next. ‘All the wives - the mothers of faithful’ eventually figured out that he was trying to determine when he was due with Nana Aisha (r.a.) and the remaining wives then allowed him to retire in the Nana Aisha's house. The Prophet (pbuh), then moved to Nana Aisha's home/room who took care of him day and night. At the last moment of the Prophet's life, his head was placed on Nana Aisha's knees and his last breath was taken as he lay in the arms of Nana Aisha (ra). Muslim Faithful! Al-Dhahabi quoted a saying of the Prophet (pbuh) that, a Prophet's soul leaves its body in the place that he likes the best. Thus it is proven he (pbuh) died in his favorite place, the apartment of Nana Ai...

 The dignity of following the Quran and sunnah.  Alhamdulillah, Allah has been kind to us and favoured us by making us muslims and granting us the prophet pbuh among us to guide us to the path of jannah.  Allah says in Quran,  At-Taubah 9:128 There has certainly come to you a Messenger from among yourselves. Grievous to him is what you suffer; [he is] concerned over you [i.e., your guidance] and to the believers is kind and merciful. Allah said to follow the Quran and sunnah.  Allah says,  Al-Baqarah 2:151 Just as We have sent among you a messenger from yourselves reciting to you Our verses and purifying you and teaching you the Book and wisdom[1] and teaching you that which you did not know. The wisdom is sunnah of rasulullah salla Allahu alayhi wasalam. An-Nisa' 4:59 O you who have believed, obey Allāh and obey the Messenger and those in authority among you. And if you disagree over anything, refer it to Allāh and the Messenger, if you should believe in A...

 *Name Ur Child Aisha* [[--- Part 11-of-16 ---]] --------------------------------- بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم What happened with Nana Aʾishah, the Prophet's wife happened so that we can pick some lessons from it. Yes. Since our enemies, who want to tear our marriage may not be known by face, we should not upon hearing the sad news about our spouses (husband or wife), jump into believing the rumors and crucifying our spouses. Now, Continuation of the previous episodes - as promised: *Lesson No 5:* The Prophet Muhammad peace be upon him have no knowledge of unseen. If the person of the Prophet Muhammad peace be upon him did not know the unseen (except in few cases where Allah (swt) told him through Angel Jibreel, then, how unclever and illiterate will one be to believe that some people have the knowledge of unseen? Don't you read Quran or listen to preachers about the 419 of so-called Mallam or Alfas? Wallahi it's Jinns and devils they are using to 419 you. And going to school do...

 *Wicked Kidnapper* ------------------------------ بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم Some people go to bed with the intention to wake up for Tahajjud by setting their phone alarm but before they realize it, it's fajr prayer time. My people! If you don't learn how to catch thief and cause him permanent injury, the thief will not only catch you but cause you unbearable injury. What do i mean here? Making Tahajjud a habit does not only attract unquantifiable rewards from Allah (swt), but cover you with a wall which act like a bulletproof between you and any creature (shaytan, man or jinn) working to destroy you. Yes. None of your enemies will be able to penetrate you with evils if you consistently establish Tahajjud. This is why your enemies will do everything possible to making sure that you miss waking up for Tahajjud even with your phone alarm set. Muslim Faithful! Sometimes the phone alarm you set will not even ring at all to wake you up. Sometimes, the phone alarm will ring but you will...
