 *Millennium Star⭐* [[---- Part Twelve ----]] -------------------------------- بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم After Harith (Juwayriya's father) accepted Islam, two of his sons who were with him and some people from his tribe also became Muslims. Then, the Prophet (pbuh) asked Juwayriya's father to marry her off to him. Harith said, “May my father and mother be sacrificed for you, O Messenger of Allah! I have given her to you.” Thereupon, the Prophet married Juwayriya in the 5th year of the Migration. Juwayriya was 20 years old then. When the Companions saw that the Prophet (pbuh) married Juwayriya and became a relative of the tribe of Banu Mustaliq, they freed all of the slaves by saying, *“The relatives of the wife of the Prophet should not be kept as slaves.”* Thus, Juwayriya (r.a) caused 700 captives from her tribe to be freed. Besides, many people from her tribe became Muslims. Nana A'ishah (r.a) appreciated Juwayriya because of this. Juwayriya (r.a) performed fasting and praye

 QUALIFICATIONS TO MARRIAGE In both (male and female)                     Bismillāhi Rahmaani Raheem. Marriage is a long term life span till death. Therefore, before everyone involve himself or herself into Marriage, they must prepare well and make sure they *qualify* to marry. If you are among the below list points, then you do not *qualify to get Marriage* This was explained by one *Sheik* and he says:...                    1️⃣ AGE: Scholars agreed that, Islam do not have specific age that qualifies one for marriage. The most important is that, in females; if the female child experience *her first menstruation* and well capable of having intercourse and bear a baby; then she can be married to a male. Likewise a male, if he attains puberty stage and experience *wet dream* he can get married to a female. But to the side of males it’s not common unlike females, because society believe the mind of such a male is not active enough to handle a wife. Also children who got married early betw

 *How to get rid of ‘waswaas’ (insinuating thoughts from Shaitān*) Bismillāh... A person may ask: ”I am suffering from many insinuating thoughts (waswaas) about the nature of Allāh, may He be glorified. There are thoughts going around in my mind that I cannot utter because they are not befitting to Allāh, and they keep coming back to me, when I’m praying and at other times. It is so bad that I doubt my faith, and wonder if I’m a Muslim or not. What is the cure for this problem?” A number of Ahaadith have been reported from the prophet of Allāh sallallahu ‘alaihi wasallam which contain the answer to this problem, praise be to Allāh. The messenger of Allāh sallallahu ‘alaihi wasallam said: •”The shaitān may come to any one of you and say:'who created Allāh?’ If any one of you experiences this, let him say: ‘Aamantu billaahi wa rasuulih (I believe in Allāh and His Messenger sallallahu ‘alaihi wasallam)’ and that will drive him (shaitān) away.” {saheeh al-jaami’} • “The shaitān may com

BismilLah.  Sheikh Abu Huraira may ALLAH be pleased with him reported: The Messenger of ALLAH, peace and blessings be upon him, said: The most beloved places to ALLAH are the masjids, and among the most hated places to ALLAH are the markets. Sahih Muslim 671.  What this hadith means is the fact that when we ignore salaat due to our businesses, then we lose any blessings to our businesses, we lie when seeking and buying in markets etc. This is what is happening today, we will hear the azan or are aware it's time for Salaat, but we will busy ourselves with our jobs or sales. Please note that 2 rakaats of salaat is better than any business or job you are doing, so let's be smart. Shut the shop or seek permission from your job and answer the call to salaat by rushing to the masjid or offering your salaat on time.  Be sincere in

BismilLah.  ALLAH the Most High says: “ Whoever commits evil or wrongs themselves then seeks Allah’s forgiveness will certainly find Allah All-Forgiving, Most Merciful.” (Quran 4:110) ALLAH gives us hope and shows us how Merciful HE is. Whatever you have committed of sins, there is hope for you on the condition that you do exactly what ALLAH stated in the verse. ALLAH is ready to forgive us for all of our sins, but the big question is: Are we ready to repent sincerely to ALLAH knowing we may die any day? Verily, ALLAH has given us a promise through this verse that we will always find HIM to be the All-Forgiving, The Most Merciful when we return to HIM. *_May ALLAH keeps guiding us all and keep protecting us from any form of sins_*. Aameen.

 The story of Ayyub A. S.  Alhamdulillah, Ayyub A. S was one of the prophets of banee Isra'eeel and he was a man who is grateful and thankful to Allah.  Allah has blessed him with wealth, children and everything.  So many years, he was in happiness until one day, Allah s.w.t tested him with a strange illness.  He tried every medicine but to no avail. Rather the sickness kept increasing.  All his children and everything was taken away from him but he never forget to praise Allah.  So one-day, his wife said to him why don't you ask Allah to grant you health as you are his grateful servant.  Ayyub was hurt by her words and said to her i will strike you hundred for been ungrateful to my lord.  Allah says,  Sad 38:41 وَٱذْكُرْ عَبْدَنَآ أَيُّوبَ إِذْ نَادَىٰ رَبَّهُۥٓ أَنِّى مَسَّنِىَ ٱلشَّيْطَٰنُ بِنُصْبٍ وَعَذَابٍ  And remember Our servant Job, when he called to his Lord, "Indeed, Satan has touched me with hardship and torment."

 *Millennium Star⭐* [[---- Part Eleven ----]] -------------------------------- بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم One of the wives of the Prophet (PBUH) - Umm Salamah (r.a), because of her beauty, knowledge and wisdom held an eminent position. Yes. The Prophet (pbuh) once ordered his Companions to sacrifice the animals they brought along for the purpose, and shave their heads. But they all seemed reluctant and did not rise to obey his command. When Umm Salamah saw the situation, she suggested that he (the Prophet) should not speak about the subject to anyone, but just go out from the tent and offer the sacrifice and shave his head. Then he could see the effect of his action. And what she expected happened - all the Companions followed suit. *Lessons:* It pays been a supportive spouse In most cases, our first year of marriage used to be tough because of the marriage adjustments we had to make, with each other, and to married life.

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 will relieve his hardship on the Day of Judgment. He who makes easy what is difficult, ALLAH will make it easy for him in the world and the Hereafter. He who conceals the faults of a Muslim, ALLAH will conceal his faults in the 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 our communities, encouraging others into good deeds without mocking anyone's erro

Story to reflect.  Allah has guided us not our will.  There lived a young girl who had a neighbor The neighbor was not a practicing Muslim and she used to drink alcohol and do bad things and never could live a day without listening to music.  Also with a big earpiece shaking her head to the lyrics.  This girl was praying for her and wish she had seen the truth.  One day, the neighbor was in her room with her ear piece as she was listening it, a large crowd were shouting outside but she could not hear and as she removed the earpiece, she was amazed that her room were on fire and everything in the inside was burnt.  She was frightened and threw the earpiece away as she burst into tears. She cried as her wealth she saved were burnt.  Since then she never listened to music and turned to alcohol. As she drank, she was walking and then she felt down on the road. As she slept she dreamt, it was judgement day and she was pulled to hellfire as she was crying. A man came to her and said this is

 *Millennium Star⭐* [[------ Part Ten ------]] -------------------------------- بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم Zainab bint Khuzaymah died during the caliphate of 'Umar Faruq at the age of fifty-three. When she realized she was about to meet her Maker, she told the people around her that she already prepared 2 shrouds, one for herself. If 'Umar Faruq sent, one is for her, one should be used and the other given away in charity. She was such a modest lady that a curtain was drawn in front of her dead body, even though it was wrapped in a shroud. Allahu Akbar!!! When Zaynab (ra) passed away, 'A'ishah (ra) recalled an occasion when the Prophet (pbuh), said that among the Mother of the Believers, she would meet him first who had the longest arms. Zaynab was short compared to the others and naturally her arms were also shorter. All the ladies took this statement literally and started measuring their arms. It was only upon the death of Zaynab that they realized what this meant. It real

 Love for the sake of Allah.  Alhamdulillah, Loving a person for the sake of Allah is an act of worship.  As reported from the hadith,  It is reported on the authority of Anas that the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: There are three qualities for which any one who is characterised by them will relish the savour of faith: that he loves man and he does not love him but for Allah's sake alone; heis to whom Allah and His Messenger are dearer than all else; he who prefers to be thrown into fire than to return to unbelief after Allah has rescued him out of it. Sahih Muslim 43 b.  Abu Huraira reported Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) as saying: Verily. Allah would say on the Day of Resurrection: Where are those who have mutual love for My Glory's sake Today I shall shelter them in My shadow when there is no other shadow but the shadow of Mine. Sahih Muslim 2566. Narrated AbuDharr: The Prophet (ﷺ) said: The best of the actions is to love for the sake of Allah and to hate for the sake ofAllah. Su

BismilLahir Rahmanir Raheem.  ALLAH'S Pleasure is the ultimate goal of our worship of ALLAH. It is the Pleasure of ALLAH that will lead us to HIS Mercy and eventually to HIS Paradise. And speaking about ALLAH'S Pleasure, there is an effortless way to gain it. There are many ways to please ALLAH but let's consider this simple one by our beloved Prophet Muhammed sallallahu alaihi wasallam who said: "Verily, ALLAH is pleased with a servant who praises HIM when he eats or praises HIM when he drinks." (Sahih Muslim 2734). It is as simple as thanking HIM every time you eat or drink. SubhanaAllah, there is a big reward to earn even in something so casual like eating and drinking. And what is greater than ALLAH'S Pleasure? Nothing, SubhanaAllah. Let's avoid complaints and appreciate the little we have then pr

 *Millennium Star⭐* [[----- Part Nine -----]] -------------------------------- بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم One of the wives of the Prophet (PBUH) - Zainab bint Khuzaymah (r.a) believed strongly in asking Allah for counsel through prayer and supplication, before taking any action. All her life's major decisions were made in this way. In fact even when the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) proposed she turned to prayer for guidance. Now, Anytime a Muslim is making a decision, he or she should seek Allah’s guidance and wisdom. Allah alone knows what is best for us, and there may be good in what we perceive as bad, and bad in what we perceive as good. Yes. Especially if you are unsure about a decision you have to make.

BismilLahir Rahmanir Raheem.  ALLAH says in Qur'an 78:40. إِنَّآ أَنذَرۡنَٰكُمۡ عَذَابًا قَرِيبًا يَوۡمَ يَنظُرُ ٱلۡمَرۡءُ مَا قَدَّمَتۡ يَدَاهُ وَيَقُولُ ٱلۡكَافِرُ يَٰلَيۡتَنِى كُنتُ تُرَٰبًۢا  Indeed, WE (ALLAH) have warned you of an impending punishment on the Day when a man will observe what his hands have put forth and the disbeliever will say, "Oh, I wish that I were dust!" The Day of Judgement is mentioned here to emphasize the fact that its occurrence has become close because everything that is coming will certainly come to pass. Also remember that when you die your judgement begins till the funal judgement day. يَوْمَ يَنظُرُ الْمَرْءُ مَا قَدَّمَتْ يَدَاهُ (the Day when man will see that which his hands have sent forth,) meaning all of his deeds will be presented to him, the good and bad, and the old and new.

 The hadith to reflect.  Abu Hurairah (May Allah bepleased with him) reported: Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said, "Do you know who is the bankrupt?" They said: "The bankrupt among us is one who has neither money with him nor any property". He said, "The real bankrupt of my Ummah would be he who would come on the Day of Resurrection with Salat, Saum and Sadaqah (charity), (but he will find himself bankrupt on that day as he will have exhausted the good deeds) because hereviled others, brought calumny against others, unlawfully devoured the wealth of others, shed the blood of others and beat others; so his good deeds would be credited to the account of those (who suffered at his hand). If his good deeds fall short to clear the account, their sins would be entered in his account and he would be thrown in the (Hell) Fire". [Muslim]. From this hadith, a person should be careful of slandering his brother of his honor, wealth or to die with debt because our deeds on th

All her life's major decisions were made in this way. In fact even when the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) proposed she turned to prayer for guidance. *Lessons:* It's a good virtue seeking Allah’s guidance in any matter (Salat-l-Istikhara).

 The story to reflect.  Never worry of what happens in your life as believer.  There once lived a boy who lived with his sister. His sister was his only hope and he loved her a lot.  He could not do anything better in life unless with his sister.  He smiles and feel happy always.  One-day, this boy was there and immediately his sister sat with him as they play together. He did not see her moving again and he said,  My sister is sleeping maybe.  An old man was passing by and saw how the girl was, he told her but she was motionless.. he said she is died and then called the people.  The boy never knew anything and his sister was buried.  Not long, he decided to call for his sister calling her name but no one responded.. he went and started crying his sister was not there.  No one could pamper and wipe away his tears.. he felt sad but as he was sad, his sister always said to him to always say laa ilaha illa Allah, astaghfiruka.  It was a song for him and he was singing it as a young boy. 

 The dajjal and seeking refuge from the dajjal.  Alhamdulillah, one of the signs of qiyaamah is the appearance of the dajjal.  As reported in the Hadith,  The prophet PBUH said,  There is no trials for my ummah like the trials of the dajjal and there is no ummah  but had warned his ummah of the dajjal.  But there is no sign no prophet has said of the dajjal.  And that He the dajjal is one eyed.  Narrated Ibn 'Umar (ra) : : The Prophet (ﷺ) said (about Ad-Dajjal) that he is one eyed, his right eye is as if a protrudingout grape." Sahih al-Bukhari 7123. Narrated `Abdullah bin `Umar: Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) said. "While I was sleeping, I saw myself (in a dream) performing Tawaf around the Ka`ba. Behold, I saw a reddish-white man with lank hair, and water was dropping from his head. I asked, "Who is this?' They replied, 'The son of Mary.' Then I turned my face to see another man with a huge body, red complexion and curly hair and blind in one eye. His eye lo

You might have heard it at school or at the workplace after someone was murdered: “How could God allow this to happen?!” You see it in articles and blog posts after the bombardment of an entire village: “What kind of God would allow these things to happen” You will even find it in intellectual circles and philosophy books: “If there really were a perfectly good, all-knowing, all-powerful God, then there would be no evil and suffering in the world.” The common picture we have in our minds is of the skeptic atheist calmly presenting a logical, intellectual, and scientific argument while the religiously-inclined defendant becomes emotionally charged and tries to beat around the bush. In fact, we find the angels asking something similar even before man was created: In the Quran, we read: “When your Lord told the angels,

" [Muslim]. Book 9, Hadith 158. Narrated Ibn 'Abbas (RA):: Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) said: "Whoever speaks on Friday while the Imam is giving the Khutbah (religious talk), he islike a donkey which carries books; and he who tells him to be quiet has no Jumu'ah." [Reported by Ahmad with an acceptable chain of narrators]. Bulugh ul mahram Book 2, Hadith 374.
