Virtues of Silence* [[----- Part One -----]]

 *Virtues of Silence*

[[----- Part One -----]]
------------------------------

بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم

Islam has specify several characteristic of a good Muslim, and one of them is keeping silent😳. Yes. Being silent is extremely important in Islam that the Holy Quran also stressed about. And It is more than just be quiet and not talking too much, but it’s about a good akhlaq (good manner) which defined the real Muslim. Even though it seemed simple, but not everyone is capable of being silent.

This reminds me,

A strange man reviled Abu Bakr (r.a.) in the presence of Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him). The Prophet remained seated. He (the prophet) looked pleased and smiled... He (the strange man) insulted Abu Bakr twice, but Abu Bakr controlled himself and remained silent. He (the strange man) insulted him for a third time, and Abu Bakr then, let his tongue loose and responded back. At that, the Messenger of Allah got up and left. Abu Bakr followed after the Prophet and said: “Messenger of Allah!  He insulted me and you just sat there. Then, when I responded to some of what he said, you became angry and got up.” The Prophet said: “There was an angel with you who was responding to his insults on your behalf.”

Allahu Akbar (الله اكبر)

Then, the Prophet said: “Abu Bakr, keep in mind three (3) things which are always true,, one of which is that whenever a person is subjected to an injustice but leaves the matter to Allah, then, Allah will come to his aid” 📚(Musnad Ahmad)

Slaves of Allah!


It is not a weakness to remain silent😳. Yes. It takes real strength. And What others say will only hurt you if you let it to hurt you. Therefore, always Construct within yourself a “refuse treatment plant” and try to turn other people’s insults into something constructive and positive that you can use for your own betterment and the betterment of others.

My people!

Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) told us a story about a baby who spoke in its infancy.. While the baby was suckling on its mother’s breast, a man on an expensive, magnificent horse rode by. The mother of the baby said: “O Allah! Make my son turn out to be like that man.” At that point, the baby left off his mother’s breast, looked 🙄 at the man, and said: “O Allah! Do not make me like him.” The mother carrying her child then came across a young servant girl who was being stoned by a crowd shouting out at her that she was an adulteress and a thief. The mother said: “O Allah! Do not let my son turn out like that woman.” The baby stopped suckling again and looked 🙄 at the servant girl and said: “O Allah! Let me turn out like her.” The mother asked the baby why he said those things. He replied: “That man you saw was a wicked tyrant, and that servant girl who was accused of committing fornication and stealing neither committed fornication nor stole anything. That is why I asked Allah to make me like her.” 📚(Sahih Al-Bukhari and Sahih Muslim)

Muslim Faithful!

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...
