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 prayers a lot. She also gave great importance to mentioning the names of Allah and glorifying Him. One morning, after performing the morning prayer (fajr), she started to say prayers and dhikr; meanwhile, the Prophet (pbuh) left. When he returned later that morning, he saw that she was still mentioning the names of Allah. He asked, "Have you been sitting in the same place since I left you?" She replied, "Yes, I have." Thereupon the Prophet said,
"I recited four phrases three times after I left you, and if these were to be weighed against what you have been reciting since dawn, they would still outweigh them. They are as follows:
Transliteration:
*‘Subhanallahi wabihamdihi, adada khalqihi, wa rida nafsihi, wa zinata arshihi wa midada kalimatihi"*
Translation:
['Glory be to Allah and Praise be to Him as much as the number of his creations, and His pleasure, and the weight of His Throne, and the ink of His words.]”
After this advice of the Prophet, Juwayriyah (r.a), started to utter those words.
Now,
It's good to remember that, *Only those who lost focus in life anger Allah (swt) in attempt to pleasing people*
Today,
There are countless Muslims who dropped using long correct Islamic hijab in an attempt to bow for pressure and intimidation from their parents, relatives, friends, neighbors, husband etc. Some sisters are not using Niqab (face-covering) because of the fear the names ignorant will call them.
There are people who feel shy and heavy to pool out of the gatherings of friends or family to observe obligatory swalah if the call is made. They prefer to anger Allah (swt) by praying late.
*Questions:*
Will you die the same day? Even if you die the same day, will you share the same grave?
My People!
Juwayriyah (ra) have set a good example for us in this regard. Yes. She chose Allah (swt) and His Rasool over her father and that lead her gained the rewards of her father and many of her family members who became Muslim.
Now,
Aisha reported: The Prophet (pbuh) said, “Whoever seeks the pleasure of Allah by the displeasure of people, Allah will suffice him against the people. Whoever seeks the pleasure of people by the displeasure of Allah, Allah will leave him to the patronage of people.” 📚Source: Sunan al-Tirmidhi 2414
So,
Whoever pleases Allah while the people are angry with him, then he has feared Him and was His righteous slave, and Allah is an ally to the righteous, and He is sufficient for His slave. Whomever fears Allah, Allah will make a way out to his difficulty and will provide for him from sources he never expects...." 📚Shaykh Al-Islam Ibn Taymiyyah said in the Majmoo' Al-Fataawa, while commenting on the above Hadeeth.
