Return with a Beautiful Returning..

Saturday, November 14, 2009

The Prophet Muhammad (salAllahu 'alayhi wa salam) said:

"I have left you two things and no one will go astray after me if he sticks to them, the Qur'aan and the Sunnah."

Imam Maalik Ibn Anas said:

"The latter part of this Ummah will not be rectified except with what rectified the earlier part of the Ummah"

' O Allah ! We ask You to return the Muslims to their religion with a beautiful returning. We ask You to show us the Truth and give us the ability to follow it.

O Allah ! allow us to recognize falsehood and give us the ability to avoid it and do not allow falsehood to appear vague to us, thus we become misguided. Indeed, You have the power and ability in that.

Peace and Blessings upon our Prophet Muhammad and upon his family, his companions and whoever follows him in good until the Day of Judgement

The Majesty of the Moon Lights up the World...

Sunday, October 18, 2009

"Once the Prophet (salAllahu 'alaihi wa salam) was sitting in a room with Aisha and fixing his shoes. It was very warm, and Aisha looked to his blessed forehead and noticed that there were beads of sweat on it. She became overwhelmed by the majesty of that sight. She was staring at him long enough for him to notice. 

                                               He said, "What's the matter?"

She replied, "If Abu Bukair Al Huthali, the poet, saw you, he would know that his poem was written for you."

The Prophet (salAllahu 'alaihi wa salam) asked, "What did he say?"

She replied, "Abu Bukair said that if you looked to the majesty of the moon, it twinkles and lights up the world for everybody to see."

So the Prophet (salAllahu 'alaihi wa salam) got up, walked to Aisha, kissed her between the eyes, and said, "Wallahi ya 'Aishah, you are like that to me and more."

[This was narrated in Dala'el Al-Nubuwa for Imam Abu Nu'aim with isnad including Imam Bukhari and Imam Ibn Khuzaina.]

Islaam, Imaan & Ihsaan

Thursday, October 8, 2009

On the authority of 'Umar ibn Khattab (radi allahu anhu), who said:

"One day while we were sitting with the Messenger of Allah (SalAllahu alayhi wa salam), there appeared before us a man whose clothes were exceedingly white and his hair was exceedingly black; no signs of journeying were to be seen on him and none of us knew him. He walked up and sat down by the Prophet (SalAllahu alayhi wa salam). Resting his knees against his and placing the palms of his hands on his thighs, he said, "O, Muhammad, tell me about Islaam." The Messenger of Allah (SalAllahu alayhi wa salam) said, "Islaam is to testify that there is no God but Allah and Muhammad is the Messenger of Allah, to perform the prayers, to pay the zakat, to fast in Ramadhaan and to make the pilgrimage to the House if you are able to do so." He said, "You have spoken rightly." And we were amazed at him asking him and saying that he had spoken rightly. He said, "Then tell me about eemaan." He (SalAllahu alayhi wa salam) said, "It is to believe in Allah, His angels, His Books, His messengers and the Last Day and to believe in Divine Destiny, both the good and the evil thereof. He said, "You have spoken rightly." He said, "Then tell me about Ihsaan." He (SalAllahu alayhi wa salam) said, "It is to worship Allah as though you are seeing Him and while your see Him not, yet truly, He sees you." He said, "Then tell me about the Hour." He (SalAllahu alayhi wa salam) said, "The one questioned about it knows no better than the questioner." He said, "Then tell me about its signs." He (SalAllahu alayhi wa salam) said, "That the slave-girl will give birth to her mistress and that you will see the barefooted, naked destitute herdsman competing in constructing lofty buildings." Then he (the man) took off and I stayed for a time. Then he (SalAllahu alayhi wa salam) said, "O, 'Umar, do you know who the questioner was?" I said, "Allah and His messenger know best." He (SalAllahu alayhi wa salam) said, " It was Jibreel, who came to you to teach you your religion."
