GOOD REASONS TO READ YOUR SALAAH

SALAAH INTERVENES BETWEEN MAN AND SHIRK.SALAAH DISGRACES THE DEVIL.SALAAH IS THE BEST JIHAAD.SALAAH IS OUR WAY TO TALK TO ALLAH.

ALLAH TA`ALA attends to a person as long as he is engaged in SALAAH.When a calamity befalls us from HEAVEN ,people frequenting the musjid are saved.If some major sins of a Muslim lands  in Hell,the fire will not burn those parts of his body which have touched the ground while he was in SAJDA during is SALAAH.

FIRE HAS BEEN FORBIDDEN TO TOUCH THOSE PARTS OF THE BODY WHICH TOUCH THE GROUND WHILE PERFORMING SALAAH.OF ALL THE PRACTISES ,SALAAH MADE @ FIXED HOURS IS MOST LOVED BY ALLAH TA`ALA.     ALLAH TA`ALA LIKES THE MOST WHEN A PERSON IS IN `SAJDA`,PRESSING HIS FOREHEAD TO THE GROUND IN HUMILITY.

When a person stands in SALAAH ,the gates of PARADISE are open and all the veils between him and ALLAH TA`ALA are lifted(provided that he spoils not his  salaah ).If a person wishes to have his sins forgiven by ALLAH TA`ALA,he should perform his WUDHU properly,offer with devotion 2 or 4 rakaah of FARDH OR NAFL salaah,and then pray to ALLAH TA`ALA to forgive him.
Any strip of earth ,on which ALLAH TA`ALA is remembered in SALAAH,takes pride over the rest of the earth.

ALLAH TA`ALA accepts the prayer of a person who prays to him after offering 2 or 4 rakaah of  SALAAH.Duas are granted to a person after each FARDH salaah,after he has performed it.Devil remains scared of a muslim so long as he is particular about his salaah,but no sooner does he neglect it then the devl gets a hold upon him and aspires for success in seducing him.

Salaah @ its early hoursis the most excellent practices.The four rakaah of ZOHR are counted equal(in reward) to the four rakaah of TAHAJJUD.We should always keep offering TAHAJJUD salaah as it keeps us away from sins
SALAAH IS A GIFT FROM ALLAH TA`ALA,SO DO NOT HESISTATE IN PERFORMING IT.WHEN WE ARE REGULAR IN PERFORMING SALAAH ON TIME,THEN WE ARE SURELY TO BE PROTECTED FROM SHAITAAN.SALAAH WILL ALSO BE OUR PROTECTION FROM THE FIRE OF HELL.

REMEBER THAT THERE ARE PEOPLE WAITING IN THEIR GRAVES TO COME BACK JUST TO PERFORM ONE MORE SALAAH.WE AR STILL LUCKY ENOUGH TO BE HERE TO PERFORM OURS.SO DONT WASTE YOUR TIME WITH THIS DUNYA,PERFORM YOUR SALAAH DAILY AND ON TIME. U DONT KNOW WHEN WILL BE YOUR LAST SALAAH.
IF YOU WANT TO TALK TO ALLAH TA`ALA !PERFORM YOUR SALAAH
IF YOU WANT ALLAH TA`ALA TO TALK TO YOU!READ THE QURAAN.
MAY ALLAH TA`ALA GUIDE US TO ALWAYS BE REGULAR WITH OUR SALAAH AND TO FORGIVE US ANY SHORTCOMMINGS. AAMEEN.

PATHWAYS

EACH OF US HAS OUR OWN CLEAR PATH TO THREAD
A WAY LAID OUT,WHICH ONLY WE MAY KNOW
AND SOME MUST TAKE THE HIGHEST PATH AHEAD
AND SOME THE LOWEST
IT MATTERS NOT
WHICHEVER WE TAKE
WHICHEVER ROAD WE MAKE OUR OWN
THERE WILL OTHERS TRAVELLING THAT
WAY!WE SHALL NOT BE ALONE.

Life has many different pathways to thread upon.Sometimes we are faced with difficult decisions as to which pathway to choose.
REMEMBER TO ALWAYS THINK CAREFULLY BEFORE CHOOSING A PATHWAY.
SOMETIMES WE MEET SOME PEOPLE WHO CAN HELP US TO DETERMINE WHICH PATHWAY TO TAKE.SOMETIMES THEY INFLUENCE US POSITVELY AND SOMETIMES NEGATIVELY.

REMEMBER THAT THERE IS ONE PATHWAY RHAT IS GUARENTEED A HUNDRED PERCENT SUCCESS.THE PATHWAY OF ALLAH SUBHANA TA`ALA IS ALWAYS A TRUE SUCCESS.MAY WE ALWAYS SEEK ALLAH`S PLEASURE IN EVERYTHING WE DO.TO FOLLOW THE PATHWAY OF ALLAH IS THE ONLY SURE WAY TO GO.

THIS WORLD ~OUR TEMPORARY ABODE

ALLAH TABARAKA ~WA ~TA`LA has sent us to this world for a very short while.Our life in this world is like a bubble in the water,nobody knows when it will burst and come to an end.

We are like a TRAVELLER WAITING FOR HIS TRAIN IN THE WAITING ROOM OF A STATION.If he starts arranging the furniture of the waiting room and even worse,goes out to buy some frames to hang in the waiting room,but does not buy his ticket, make his reservation,arrange his baggage,then he will have endless problems.

Exactly in the same manner this world is only a waiting room.We are all waiting for our "TRAIN OF DEATH" to come.When it comes we will have no choice but but to board it.If we did not prepare for that journey from where there is no return,and wasted our whole life;beautifying this waiting room only,(OUR WORLDLY LIFE)>AND WE MADE NO PREPERATION FOR IT.(OUR ETERNAL LIFE).Our problems will be most severe.If we did not buy our ticket of IMAAN and make our reservations of good deeds,we will suffer a number of untold miseries.The person in the waiting room knows that he has 15min,or half an hour,whereas we dont have any guarentee of of the final minute.

All of us come with return tickets to this world.Nobody has come with a single or one way ticket only.Our ticket is okayed and reconfirmed.The only thing is we dont know WHEN THAT TIME IS.On the appointed time we will have to on ou journey to the HEREAFTER.
A human is faced with million and one hazards @ each moment of his/her life.Dangers are lurking from all sides,all the time.An arabic saying is"TO BE LIVING YET IS MOST SURPRISING,TO DIE IS ONLY NATURAL".So many things can go wrong in the human body,the nervous system,the brain,etc.The roof can cave in,accidents can happen,volcanoes can errupt,floods can occur,etc.Life is most uncertain and unpredictable.....

When this life is so short,uncertain and unpredictable,HOW CAN WE DEPEND ON IT ,PREPARE ONLY FOR IT AND LOOKING FORWARD TO IT ALONE ?all the time.
A beleiver has a much more superior goal and object in life.To strive hard for the AKHIRA.At the point of departure from the worldly life,we will leave everything of this dunya for others,only our IMAAN andGOOD DEEDS will accompany us.WISE is the person who prepares for that life and uses this dunya for gaining that eternal life.

This dunya is a mere showroom of the AAKHIRA .The pleasures and enjoyments of this world is to give us an idea of how great the pleasures of the HEREAFTER will be.The hardships and difficulties are mere examples of what tortures and suffering there will be in the HEREAFTER.
This world is just an illussion.Our ultimate goal should always be the AAKHIRA.ALLAH TA`ALA has put us in this dunya to worship HIM  and HIM alone.But instead we have made this dunya like our final abode.At the end of the day we are only TRAVELLERS IN THIS DUNYA.SO WE SHOULD LIVE LIKE TRAVELLERS.
MAY ALLAH TA`ALA GRANT US THE CORRECT UNDERSTANDING OF OUR DEEN AND TO MAKE THE  NECESSARY PREPERATIONS FOR THE ETERNAL LIFE, IN SHA ALLAH.
REMEMBER WE WILL LEAVE THIS LIFE AS WE LIVED IT.WE HAVE ONLY ONE LIFE.MAKE IT COUNT FOR ALLAH`S SAKE

         RESPECT FOR HUMANITY

ALLAH TA"ALA tells us in the Quraan "WE HAVE INDEED HONOURED THE CHILDREN OF ADAM,AND PROVIDED FOR THEM MEANS OF TRANSPORTATION ON LAND AND SEA,AND GIVEN THEM WHOLESOME FOOD AND EXALTED THEM HIGH ABOVE THE GREATER PART OF OUR CREATION"(17;70).
This shows that man by his very creation deserves regard and respect.This respect is man`s natural birthright,regardless of which COMMUNITY he belongs to.

According to a HADITH:"That person is not one of us who is not merciful to his juniors and respectful to his elders".According to another HADITH the Prophet  MOHAMMED (salallahu alaihi wasalam) said"One who beleives in ALLAH TA`ALA and the LAST DAY must honour his neighbours;One who beleives in ALLAH TA`ALA and the LAST DAY must honour his guests"

There are a number of such commands to the beleivers in the QURAAN and the HADITH which lay great stress on showing due respect to the servants of ALLAH TA`ALA.This is an important quality that we as muslims should possess.Our love and devotion for ALLAH TA`ALA finds expression in this world in the form of our relations with other human beings.One who is a true lover of ALLAH TA`ALA has an inner urge to love ALLAH`S servants.

Respect for humankind is one of the basic teachings of ISLAM.Regardless of what a persons nationality is or what colour his skin is,he still deserves the same respect as you.SOME people have this sick notion that even kids should be mistreated.ON the contraty KIDS HAVE A VITAL ROLE TO PLAY IN EVERY COMMUNITY.Some people think that males shoulsd be treated differently from females.THIS IS UTTER NONSENCE.
Afterall children are born neither rich or poor.Unfortunately it is society that has labelled people either RICH OR POOR.LOWER OR HIGH CLASS.What do kids know about this.All they know is to play innocent games with their friends.

In society if u do alot of good deeds,then your status is high,but if you are constantly doing wrong,then you become an outcast.THE quraan says"The most honoured of you in the sight of ALLAH is the one who is more obedient to the laws of ALLAH TA`ALA.(49/13)

ALLAH TA`ALA HAS CREATED US ALL FOR ONE PURPOSE,AND THAT IS TO WORSHIP HIM ALONE.HELPING OUR FELLOW MUSLIM BROTHERS AND SISTERS IS ALSO A FORM OF IBADAT WHICH WILL EARN US ALLAH`S PLEASURE. HURT A FELLOW MUSLIM AND YOU HAVE THE WRATH OF ALLAH TA`ALA UPON YOU.

Respect for humanity is a trait which should come to us naturally. take yourself for example;if you go out to a mall,and the security stops you because you happen to look or dress differently, how would you feel? just the same.TREAT PEOPLE THE WAY YOU WANT TO BE TREATED.

ALWAYS REMEMBER THAT ALLAH TA`ALA IS WATCHING OUR EVERY ACTION.HOW WE BEHAVE TOWARDS PEOPLE  AND ALSO HOW WE INTERACT WITH THEM.SO IF U FEAR YOUR RABB THEN BE KIND TO HUMANITY.

  MAY ALLAH TA`ALA PROTECT US  AND GUIDE US TO ALWAYS DO WHATS RIGHT
                                                    ALWAYS

EVERY SOUL SHALL TASTE DEATH

" REMEMBER OFTEN THE DESTROYER OF PLEASURE(i.e.death)"(ibn Majah) The death of a close relative is something we all have to deal with @ 1 time another.It is indeed a very painful and traumatic time wherein we experience a sense of shock.Our faith in ALLAH TA"ALA,our belief in life after death and the support of people around us helps us to cope with with the pain of permanent seperation from our loved ones.While we cannot take away the pain caused by the death of a beloved family member,we as brethren in faith can provide much needed comfort n support to each other. RECORDED IN THE COLLECTIONS OF BUKHARI N MUSLIM IS WHAT NABI (SAW) HAD SAID:"EVERY MUSLIM HAS 5 RIGHTS DUE TO HIM FROM HIS FELLOW MUSLIMS: 1)RETURNING HIS GREETING OF SALAAM 2)VISITING HIM WHEN HE IS SICK 3FOLLOWING HIS JANAZA 4)ACCEPTING HIS INVITATION 5)PRAYING FOR HIS WELL BEING WHEN HE SNEEZES READING JANAZA SALAAH AND ATTENDING THE BURIAL:"Whoever follows the funeral procession of a MUSLIM motivated by his faith n expecting to and remains with the janaza until salaah is performed and until he is buried,returns with the reward of 2 QIRATS.Each QIRAT IS LIKE MOUNT UHUD(bukhari n muslim) "AN INTELLIGENT PERSON IS HE WHO TAKES STOCK OF HIMSELF AND ACTS IN PREPERATION FOR WHAT IS AFTER DEATH."(AHMAD)It is imperative that the reflection of death is ever present in our minds.The janaza must remind us of our own death,of the harsh reality of the grave whic is reflected by the way we conduct ourselves in the graveyard.Unfortunately some very inappropriate and incorrect tendencies are becoming increasingly common during janaza such as:WHILST WOMEN ARE EXPECTED TO PRAY IN THE HOME OF THE DECEASED MEN,THEY SPEND THEIR TIME SOCIALISING,BLISSFULLY HEEDLESS OF THE GRAVITY OF THE SITUATION.MEN GATHER IN GROUPS @ THE GRAVEYARD LEAVING THE BUSSINESS OF BURIAL TO OTHERS.ITS SAD WHEN EVEN THE DECEASED IS OF THEIR OWN FAMILY,BUT THEY LEAVE IT FOR OUTSIDERS TO COVER THE QABR. UNFORTUNATELY WE HAVE REACHED SUCH A TIME THAT EVEN A JANAZA DONT GRIP US LIKE IT USED TO;WE FORGET THAT WE WILL ALSO BE THAT SAME JANAZA 1DAY.VISIT THE QABRASTAN OFTEN N REFLECT ON THE INHABITANTS IN THE QABR.THEY WISH THEY COULD BE BACK IN THIS DUNYA TO RIGHT THEIR WRONGS.REMEMBER THIS DUNYA IS ONLY TEMPORARY.HOW U LIVE IN IT IS HOW U WOULD DIE.SO LIVE FOR ALLAH TA ALA N U WILL BE REWARDED. "MAY ALLA TA ALA GRANT US THE HUMILITY TO SEE THE FOLLY OF OUR WAYS AND MAY HE GRANT US DEATH ON IMAAN."
