Remembering Allah..

The best solution to all the hardships and trials that trouble us.
Remembering and praying in front of the Almighty brings a true sense of peace and tranquility.

Allah expiates sins..

It's usually tough to accept problems and very difficult to be patient through big and small trials and difficulties.. but this hadith definitely makes it easy to trust the Almighty, reinstate our faith in him and accept all the hardships and overcome them.

Narrated Abu Sa'id Al-Khudri and Abu Huraira: The Prophet (may peace be upon him) said, "No fatigue, nor disease, nor sorrow, nor sadness, nor hurt, nor distress befalls a Muslim, even if it were the prick he receives from a thorn, but that Allah expiates some of his sins for that."

Sahih Al Bukhari : book 70, hadith 545

Friday ..things to do

Don't forget to do all that and also recite alot of Durood and pray for Muslims all across the globe.

Islam is the way of Life

We shouldn't try to include Islam into our life, we should live our lives based on Islam..and make ISLAM as a way of life..

Depend on Allah..

Very true ! Depend on your creator alone..ask Allah (s.w.t.) for help, seek his assistance, he is the provider and the most merciful and will not disappoint his slave!

Loving your mother..

A man once consulted the Prophet Muhammad about taking part in a military campaign. The Prophet asked the man if his mother was still living. When told that she was alive, the Prophet said: "(Then) stay with her, for Paradise is at her feet." (Al-Tirmidhi)

MashaAllah everyday is mother's day in Islam.

Friday..blessed day

Friday..a blessed day,  send lot of supplications and seek rewards from the almighty.

Guide us to the right path

May Allah guide us all towards the right path, to the path that pleases the Almighty and the one that leads us to Jannah!  Ameen

He has knowledge of everything

Surely, nothing happens without his command and knowledge..! He has knowledge of everything, what you revel and what is in your hearts.

Hardships..

Being patient.. While going through hardships has such tremendous rewards.

Greeting each other

Narrated Abu Huraira:

Allah's Apostle (may peace be upon him) said, "The riding person should greet the walking one, and the walking one should greet the sitting one, and the small number of persons should greet the large number of persons."

Narrated Abu Huraira: Allah's Apostle (may peace be upon him) said, "The younger person should greet the older one, and the walking person should greet the sitting one, and the small number of persons should greet the large number of persons."

[Sahih Al Bukhari : book 74, hadith 252]

Narrated 'Abdullah bin 'Amr:

A man asked the Prophet , "What sort of deeds or (what qualities of) Islam are good?" The Prophet replied, 'To feed (the poor) and greet those whom you know and those whom you do not Know.

[Sahih Al Bukhari : book 2, hadith 27]

Greeting each other with "Asalaam Alaikum" and responding back with " Walaikum Asalaam" is considered as one of the good deeds of Islam for a Muslim.
The hadith explains who should take the initiative to greet in different situations, remember the first one to greet gets more rewards.

Asalaam Alaikum :-)

Immense love for the Prophet

Love for the Prophet 

Shaykh Tabarsi has narrated that Thauban, the freed slave of the Prophet used to love the Messenger of Allah (S) very much and could not bear separation from him. He came to the Prophet one day and his face was pale, body weak and thin. The Holy Prophet (S) asked him why he was so pale? He said that he was not suffering from any illness but that till he did not see the Prophet, he used to be restless and eager and till he did not come to the Prophet, he could not get rest.

Then I remember the hereafter, how I will come to the presence of the Messenger of Allah (S), although I know that you will get the loftiest grades of Paradise with the divine prophets. If I also reach Paradise, I will be at a much lower station than yours. And if I cannot reach Paradise, I will never be able to see you again. The following verse was revealed at that time:

4:69. " And whoso obeys Allah and the Messenger (Muhammad ), then they will be in the company of those on whom Allah has bestowed His Grace, of the Prophets, the Siddiqun (those followers of the Prophets who were first and foremost to believe in them, like Abu Bakr As-Siddiq ), the martyrs, and the righteous. And how excellent these companions are! "

[Surah An-Nisa , 4:69]

The Holy Prophet (S) said: “By the One who sent with truth, no man is perfect in faith till he does not consider me dearer to him than his parents, family and all other people.”

The following lecture by Mufti Menk explains this incident beautifully:

This ayah should inspire us to love and obey the Sunnah of Prophet Mohammed (P.B.U.H.) and strive to be among the best followers of his practices.

The Virtues of Jumu'ah

Rasulullah (Allah bless him & give him peace) said: "Friday is the best of days. It was on this day that Hadrat Aadam alayhis salaam was created, it was on this day that he was granted entry into jannah, it was on this day that he was removed from jannah (which became the cause for man's existence in this universe, and which is a great blessing), and the day of resurrection will also take place on this day. " (Sahih Muslim)

Allah Ta'ala has taken an oath of that day. He says in the Quran:"By the sky in which there are constellations .By the promised day (of judgement). By the day that witnesses (Friday), and the day that is witnessed (day of Arafah). "

Reward for good deeds ..

Narrated Abu Huraira:

Allah's Apostle (may peace be upon him) said, "If any one of you improve (follows strictly) his Islamic religion then his good deeds will be rewarded ten times to seven hundred times for each good deed and a bad deed will be recorded as it is."

[ Sahih Al Bukhari : book 2, hadith 40 ]

Is there any judgment system on earth that would reward us 10 to 700 times more for the good deeds we do ? Only Allah S.W.T. can be this merciful and compassionate! 
This hadith definitely encourages us to do more good deeds and seek the Almighty's blessings.
