ZINA/LOWER UR GAZE/ADULTERY

Hadrath Umar(رضي الله عنه)narates that Rasool(saw)said"When a man is alone with a woman then Shaytaan is the third person"(Tirmizi).

An unlawful sexual intercourse by a married person is called ADULTERY.Sexual intercourse by an unmarried person is called FORNICATION,Islam has one term for both these words :ZINA
One of the most common evils of todays society and also the most hated by ALLAH TA'ALA is ZINA.
The evil act of adultery/fornication is punishable in this world and the hereafter.We r living in a society were temptataions dominate everywhere.For a man/woman to commit adultery is sinful.A man will say his wife is not as apealing to him anymore after a couple of kids came along.The woman on the other hand will say the husband works too hard to support them,thus leaving no time for her.But marriage is all about give and take.When two people commit to one another is for keeps.There's of factors that lead to ZINA.The worst is when it happens between best friends spouses or family spouses.Somehow people have taken it upon themselves that its open season anytime to have what is forbidden to them.
It is in this instance that we must follow the laws of 'اللَّه سُبْحَانَهُ وَتَعَالَى.This sin is so hateful to our Rabb that HE has commanded us not to go near it.Lowering our gaze does not mean we must walk with our eyes on the ground.Instead it means that if u see a man/woman in indecent dress @ any time then turn away.that second look is the start of all kinds of trouble.لنَّبِي مُحَمَّدٌ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّم has said"Avoid adultery for it has 6 effects :3 are experienced in this world and 3 in the hereafter.The 3 in this world are;
1)NOOR vanishes from the faces of adulteres,2)It brings poverty and Famine;3)Lifespan is reduced.::::::3 experienced in the hereafter;
1)Allah subjects the adulteres to his anger;2)they will be subjected to strict reckoning;3)they will be cast to hell.
So next time our NAFS and SHAYTAAN asks us to commit ZINA,which will only satisfy us for a little while,think of ALLAH's anger that will pour on us for all time and continue in JAHANNUM as well .O mislims have true TAQWA and protect your private parts,and ALlAH will reward you.And besideلنَّبِي مُحَمَّدٌ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّم has guarenteed u JANNAH for it                    

HAYA(Modesty) SHARM(Shame)

Living in a society in which people have accepted western lifestyles as their way of life,brings immorality @ every step.HAYA(modesty)SHARM(shame)IZZAT(honour)has no place in the western world.Today muslims too are increasingly banishing their modesty.

النَّبِي مُحَمَّدٌ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ  said"Haya is part of IMAAN".

Haya plays a huge role in muslims lives,because it is an integral part of their Imaan.If we do not have any form of Haya within us,then it shows that our Imaan is very weak.It is stated in the following hadith narated by Abu Huraira(رضي الله عنه )thatلنَّبِي مُحَمَّدٌ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَsaid"Faith(belief)consists of more than 60 branches(parts)and Haya is part of Faith"(bukhari)

We also learn from the prophet صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ the importance of having HAYA and it is not something to be  ashamed of,but concerned and embarrased if they do not possess it within their character.Sometimes HAYAH is regarded as shyness,and is also frowned upon in society.With HAYA a beleiver should build his character with good dimensions of HAYA.Most importantly a beleiver should be  shy of doing things that would displease'اَللَّهُ عَزَّوَجل.Knowing that he/she would have to answer for their deeds one day.

I can go with this topic forever on end.The truth of the matter is that HAYA and SHARM has to come from witin a person.No1 can tell u how to behave,it is ur own unique character.We as muslims should always be proud of our HAyA and IZZAT.It is our own special blessing from'اَللَّهُ عَزَّوَجَل .

THE DAY OF ASHORA

Although Muharram is a sanctified month as a whole,but the 10th of Muharram is the most sacred of days.This day is called 'ASHORA'.When النَّبِي مُحَمَّدٌ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ migrated to Madina he found that the jews fasted on the 10th Muharram.النَّبِي مُحَمَّدٌ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ has ordered the muslims to fast on the (10th/11th or 9th/10).So as not to immitate the jews.
The best fast besides Ramadaan is the fast of Muharram(Hadith-Muslim).In short it is established in various authentic hadith that fasting on the day of Ashora is a sunnah of النَّبِي مُحَمَّدٌ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ and it makes one entitled to great rewards.
Although the fast is obligatory,to fast on these days is very virtuous."For every fast kept in this month,you get the sawaab of 30days fast".(Tabarani).Fasting on the day of 'ASHORA' all minor sins are forgiven(muslim).Let's try our best to follow the sunnah of our النَّبِي مُحَمَّدٌ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ,and also gain great rewards for our good actions..و عَلَيْكم السَّلاَمُ وَ رَحْمَةُ اللهِ وَبَرَكَاتُهُ وَمَغْفِرَتُهُ وجنته

MUHARRAM

MUHARRAM is the month in which the Muslims begin their LUNAR HIJRA CAlENDAR.It is 1 of 4 sanctified months.Allah Ta'ala says in the Quraan'there are 12 months of which 4 are sacred(Dhill Qadah,Dhill Hijjah,Muharram,Rajab) The specific mention of these does not mean that any other month is not sanctified.Ramadaan is admittedly the most Sanctified month of the year.But these 4 are santified because the pagans of Makkah has accepted these 4 months.When Allah Ta'ala  chose a particular time for blessing,the same acquires for the sactity out of his grace.
Thus the sanctity of these months was recognised right from the time of  Ebrahim (A S).Since the pagans of Makkah attributed themselves  to Ebrahim(A S),they observed the sanctity of these 4 months and despite their frequent tribal battles,they held it unlawful to fight in these months..This is the month of allah tala  and there is a lot of virtues  of this month,ان شاء الله آمِيْن ثُمَّ آمِيْن will post acts to do during this month.in the next blog      

I AM THE MAN

Men and women in Islam have such different roles to play.A man exercises his role in society as head of the family.In Islam the man goes to the musjid,go to the qabrastan.The wife on the other hand must read salaah @ home,make for Murhoom from home,and look after da kids,clean the house and COOK the jumma lunch.The table must be laid and the meal spread out.The man comes home with his friends n they eat and enjoy,the wife on the other hand cannot even enjoy the meal that she has taken s much time in preparing. Many men feel that women are the weaker sex.They that woman are created from a crooked rib,but what they know,is that woman a force to be reckoned with.They can work tirelessly,they learn tirelessly,all for the pleasure of'اَللَّهُ عَزَّوَجَل.For it is those very men that were created from the womb of a mother,and in doing so'اَللَّهُ عَزَّوَجَل has rewarded that woman by saying that"JANNAH LIES BENEATH THE FEET OF A MOTHER". That being the case we may not be the head of the family in this world,but we will surely be able to carry  the flag in the hereafter.So my message to all men of today"APPRECIATE UR WIFE" for she is the one that will determine your ultimate faith.
PS:it is not my intention to put men down,if u treat ur wife like gold Alhamdulillah,if u then its time u should.

SPIRITUAL DITOX

 FOR A SPIRITUAL DETOX WE SHOULD IMPLEMENT DA K.F.C. to CONNECT with ALLLAH  TA'ALA

SHOW:KINDNESS TO ALL:

Kindness is a magical work.if you show it to others,ALLAH TA'ALA  will bless and give you a life of HAPINESS,PEACE,and CONTENTMENT.

DISPLAY:FORGIVENESS:

Let us forgive others and beg for forgiveness for our wrong to others.He who forgives others is eleviated in the sight of AllAH TA'ALA

EMBRACE:CONTENTMENT:

In whatever condition ALLAH TA'ALA puts us through.In good and Happy  situations make"SHUKR."whilst in, PAIN ,HARDSHIP and DIFFICULTIES make "SABR"

If we implement these 3 qualities in our daily lives,we will surely be a step closer to gaining 'اَللَّهُ عَزَّوَجَل favour mercy and blessing, 

TRY IT N C WHAT HAPPENS

                                                                                                                    

WHAT U GOT/WHAT U LOST

FOR ALL U GAINED.......................... .  SEE AT WHAT EXPENSE

Fashion and Mordern lifstyle came------------Shame, Modesty gone   

Rules Tradition and Customs came-------Sunnah lifestyle of Nabi صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ    gone.

Cell Phones came.................................Meeting n Visits gone

Cinema came......................................Knowledge Gone

Wealth came---------------------------------------Love-Friendship gone

Cricket(game)came--------------------------------Work gone

TV!Internet came----------------------------------Sleep gone

Songs and Dance came----------------------------Recital(Tilawat)of quraan gone

What matters in life is not what u Accomplish,rather it is what u overcome.Life is not to Indulge in Fun and Games,U will be brought back to life after death to account for all your actions.Stay clear from the whims of shaitaan(devil)as he is a stone cold Liar who wants you to languish in the hell fire..          

PREFERRING SUNNAH

Islam is a vibrant,meaningful and timeless way of life.Its not a religion of time-worn and lifeless rituals.It stands imitably and firmly on the foundation of belief in ALLAHs ONENESS and abhors even the undue veneration of any personality.Islam also rejects emulation of alien customs and gives us the most sublime lifestyle in the form of the SUNNAH of our Nabie
(Saw).A true muslim will sense the difference between tradition,custom and what is actually SUNNAH.The sunnah is only a platform to achive unity of Muslims.Preferring traditions or norms inherited from family and society or ethnic or tribal customs not only harms us spiritually,but it also makes the unity of muslims on a global level very difficult..In fact,the mindset developed in the homes of Rasulullah(saw) himself,was to eradicate even the slightest trace of anything that opposed the Shari'ah.The mother of the beleivers,(Umm HabeebAhra)the daughter of Abu Sufyaan(رضي الله عنه)On the third day of her fathers death ,sent for some perfume and used it saying"I neither need nor like perfume,I,ve heard rasulullah (saw)saying'A woman is not permitted to mourn the death of anyone (but her husband)for  more than 3 days.the mourning period for a husbands death is 4months 10 days.)May ALLAh grant us the correct understanding of Deen,and help us to convey it to others in its prestine form.aameen

PATHWAYS

Each of us has our own clear path to tread,

A way laid out which only we may know.

And some must take the highes path ahead,

And some take the low.

It matters not

Whichever path we take,whichever road

We have to make our own

There will always be others travelling

That way too:We shall not be alone.

Sometimes a road can seem long and lonely,but if we look hard enough we will find good company on the road.

ONE MORE CHANCE---IF AllAH SO WILLS

 any of us will vividly recount the commencement of the new Islamic year last time around.So swift is the passage of time that ALLAH TA'اَللَّهُ عَزَّوَجَل very emphatically takes an oath."By the oath of time-certainly man is @ a loss-except those who believe and perform righteous deeds and counsel each other in good and counsel each other in patience(surah
ASR)
Time is certainly the greatest and most precious capital in the life of every human being and more importantly in the life of every Muslim.It is an undeniable fact that every moment that passes by can never be retrived.Despite this reality it is the sheer nature of Man to exhaust this great blessing in the most frivilous activities.RASULULLAH(saw)has warned against  the wastage and mismanagementof time.RASULULLAH (saw)said;"Two blessings are such that many people are deceived regarding them:GOOD HEALTH and LEISURE  TIME".(Mishkat)Time is a gift from ALLAH.make the most of every second worshipping aLLAH

MUSIC:The Steppping stone to Immorality;ALERT

Music is HARAAM.It is a major sin and it is srictly prohibited by the QURAAN and HADITH.Recently there has been a growing trend towards"ISLAMIC" music,comprising of islamic based lyrics,but accompanied by musical instrument.This is being promoted as permissible because the lyrics are islamic.However,there is no such thing as "ISLAMIC" music,music is music and remains HARAAM no matter whatever label is attached to it.
Listening to music is detrimental to our IMAAN,and the destructive nature of this deadly spiritual poison has been mentioned in da following AHAADITH:
Music causes hypocricy to grow in the hearts,just like water causes crops to grow(miskat)
""Verily ALLAH(swt)  has sent me as a MeRcY and as a gude unto the worlds.And ALLAH(swt)  commanded me to destroy musical instruments"(musnad Ahmad)
Imagine when the angel of death comes for u,n u r listening to music,how then are u gonna read your kalima.Remember how u live in this world will be how u r ressurected in the aakirah.think about it!
