Salute the Prophet*

 *Salute the Prophet*

------------------------------

بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم

Did you remember that: Aus bin Aus (RA) reported: The prophet (pbuh) said, *“Among the best of your days is Friday; so supplicate Allah more often for me in it , for your supplications will be displayed to me.”* He was asked: “O Messenger of Allah! How will our blessings be displayed to you when your decayed body will have mixed with the earth?” He (PBUH) replied, “Allah has prohibited the earth from consuming the bodies of the Prophets.” 📚 [Abu Dawood, Saheeh Al-Albani]

Servants of Allah!

If we send countless SALUTATIONS to our prophet (pbuh) everyday ESPECIALLY on Friday,

▪️ Our status will be raised &  our sins will be forgiven - Reference 📚(An-Nisa’i Sahih)

▪️It helps our Du'a get accepted - Reference📚 (At-Tirmidhi)

▪️Allah (swt) will send blessings on you - Reference 📚 (Sahih Muslim, 384).

▪️The Prophet (pbuh) will receive and return your greetings - Reference 📚 (An-Nisa’i) & (Abi Dawood Sahih)

▪️It will draw you closer to the Prophet (pbuh) - Reference 📚(At-Tirmidhi, 484)

▪️All your worries will be lifted (meaning, you will get all the good u wanted easily) - Reference 📚 (Sahih Musnad Ahmed)

My people!

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.

Today, we see Muslim faithful talking/discussing, pressing phone, running from one Internet site to another and even answering phone calls while the imam is on the Minbar saying Friday Khutbah (sermon). All these actions are actions which nullify ones jumaat reward completely. Also, playing with things like our fingers or any body part, clothes, items, car keys etc is prohibited. In fact, even saying of Salam to someone is not permissible at that moment.

Slaves of Allah!

Those who attend Jumu’ah prayer should be quiet and listen attentively to the imam when he is preaching. It is not permissible to speak to others, even if that is to tell them to be quiet. Whoever does that has engaged in idle talk (laghw), and whoever engages in idle talk, his Jumu’ah prayer does not count.  📚Narrated by al-Bukhaari, 892; Muslim, 851).

Muslim Faithful!

We should remember that, Allah (swt) did not design it that HIS Angels from the sky should descend to do the jobs of masjid maintenance meant for human beings.

Yes. It's not only in our houses that caretaking culture is required, but even in the masjid where we worship Allah (swt), maintenance and replacement culture is a necessity.

Therefore,

I remind myself, you and every woman who pray at home to prepare to be dropping something (reasonable) inside FISSABILILLAHI BOX everyday especially today Friday.

Even women who pray at home?

Yes. Women who pray at home should also not be left behind in budgeting something for the maintenance of the house of Allah. As many masaajid have account details which she can use to send her contribution. She can also send her husband or son to help her drop something inside Fissabilillahi box *(ie - if she knows that her husband or son will not corner it into his pocket)*. We should do this REGULARLY especially on FRIDAY - for the running of the activities of the masjid & for the propagation of the religion of Allah in general.
