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."

WESTERN DRESS. vs HIJAAB

Fashion as we know today means to look weird by adopting weird styles. There has been introduced and injected vulgarity in our society in the name of fashion and style. Today boys like to wear the colors meant for girls and girls like to wear what is meant for boys. Jewellery, that was meant to be worn by females in now seen in the necks and fingers and writs of boys. Cloths that looks girly and worn and designed by boys while the cloths that look boyish are worn by girls.

The society is attacked by the storm of designers who in the name of style and fashion introduce indecent and vulgar dresses in every season. Islam has strictly prohibited dressing that in any way look vulgar and out of the prescribed standards of Islam.

Narrated Ibn 'Abbas (رضي الله عنه ): The Prophet صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ  (pbuh) cursed effeminate men (those men who are in the similitude (assume the manners of women) and those women who assume the manners of men, and he said, "Turn them out of your houses.''

(Sahih Al-Bukhari)

The above hadith is a strict and clear cut reply to all these fashions that we see today. To wear dresses like girls/boys to act like girls/boys is strictly prohibited and curse of Prophet صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ  (pbuh). 

ALLAH SUBHANAHU WA TA'ALLAH has commanded us with every action that is good for us and prohibited us from performing every action that is bad for us. ALLAH SUBHANAHU WA TA'ALLAH orders the Muslim woman to wear the Hijaab when she steps out of the security of her home or when in the presence of strange men. So to wear the Hijaab is a source of great good for you the Muslim woman. 

 ιмρσятαηcє σƒ нι‎jααв 

• You please Allah. You are obeying the commands of your Lord when you wear the Hijaab and you can expect great rewards in return.

• It is Allah's protection of your natural beauty. You are too precious to be "on display" for each man to see.

A women in hijaab is like ǎ jewel that is øf high exceptional value and that which must b kept hidden. Wearing the hijaab is ǎ choice that muslim women make. To discard the hijaab is to disobey islamic principles and ǎ womens islamic belief. Islam commands women to cover their bodies so as not 2 trouble men who are weak and unable 2 resist temptation. An american, ruth anderson said " hijaab is not ǎ sign øf backwardness, ignorance ΘƦ mental incompetence but ǎ womens duty and her right"

Nabiصَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ said " indecency disfigures everything and modesty increases the charm øf everything" tirmidhi

Nabiصَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ said " there are 2 types øf ppl who will enter hell whom I hav not seen : ppl having whips similar to ox-tails with which they will beat ppl and (secondly) women who will be dressed yet appear to be naked. They will seduce men and be inclined towards them. Their heads will be like the swaying humps øf camels. They will neither enter paradise nor find its smell even though its fragrance cam be smelt from such and such distance" muslim

O prophet ! Tell ur wives and daughters and the believing women that they should cast their outer garments over their body. That is most convenient, that they should be known and not molested and اللَّهُ  سبحانه وتعالي is most forgiving most merciful. Surah ahzaab ayat 59

 My Sisters in Islam please read, reflect and ponder إن شاء الله  

Every hair that is shown to a non-mahram is counted as a sin. Multiply the number of hairs by the number of non-mahram who see your hair daily

and by the number of days you went out without Hijaab and the number of pictures you took without Hijaab.

We are here in this temporary Dunya to use our beauty according to the conditions اللّه has put for us.

Our ﺂللَّــہ has blessed women with beauty which is to be kept precious and rare. And not put on display for everyone to see. Precious things are to be kept safe and hidden.

♥ O Muslimah... Be Like a Pearl which is Precious and Rare~ and Not a Like A Stone which is found Everywhere! ♥

May ﺂللَّـہ grant us the understanding إن شاء الله

BEAUTY IN THE BEARD

Glorified be He who beautifies women with long locks of hair
And Men with long beards
There is beauty in the beard
Aye, there is beauty in the beard!

When the lion roars all the animals submit
For the lion is the king of the jungle
The lion with its glorious mane
And a Muslim man grows his mane in pride
Showing the rest of humanity that he is to be respected
Can one imagine a lion without its mane?
Nay, thou canst not!
Then imagine a man without his beard

Woe to worldly women who mock the beards so!
Desiring husbands with clean shaven faces
Woe to women who mock the Prophet's Sunnah
In the name of hygiene, neatness and smooth texture
Indeed some women of this world cannot like the beard
But she who wants Paradise adores the beard!

A beard is a gift given to man
Something only he can grow; a woman never can!
When he ponders, he gently strokes it;
When he is with kids, they play with it adoringly;
When he is with his wife, she fondles it lovingly;
When the enemy see it, fear is struck in their hearts!
Ah! there is indeed beauty in the beard!

All the Prophets had beards – yes they did!
Muḥammad صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ had a beard – so big! so big!
All the companions had beards – o yes! o yes!
All the sages had beards – I know! I know!
All the wise have beards – tis true! tis true!
All the pious have beards – you see! you see!
All the Muslims have beards?! – if only! if only!

Who did not have beards? The kafirun!
Who had clean shaven faces? The kafirun!
Who grew their moustaches? The kafirun!
“And what did our Prophet صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ order?” I hear you ask
He ordered us to lengthen the beard and trim the moustache!
Lengthen the beard and trim the moustache!
What greater reason that this can there be
The fact that our Prophet told us to see
That we make ourselves appear to the world
As full bearded men with honour untold...
O Muslim brother! Why do you desire to look like a woman
When your blessed facial hair is the differece between you and the opposite gender?
O poor Muslim brother! Why do you imitate the kafir
Instead of following the Prophet of Islam?
O silly Muslim sister! Why are you so blind?
Infatuated with Bollywood actors who have no mind!
O wretched sister! Are you not scared of your choice?
You would rather have a feminine monkey instead of an exalted manly ape!

So indeed I love my beard
And adore the curls and tangles
Which no oil, gel or superglue can ever straighten
My glorious long, curly, messy, fluffy beard!
The playhouse for kids;
And the beloved of Allāh!
I maybe rejected by worldly women because of this hair on my face
But who care! For my Mum loves it and she puts all such sisters to  disgrace!
Be patient Muslim brothers, who shun the trendy look for a Prophetic pose
Paradise with the wide eyed Houris is our final abode!!!!!

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

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.

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!
