Tayyamum- Dry Ablution

Assalamu alaikum wa rahmatullahi wa barakathuh dear Brothers and Sisters in Deen,

Ablution is an essential condition for the validity of prayer. ALLAH swt gave us ease in this matter too. There are two types of ablution that one can do for Salah(with some conditions). Wet ablution and Dry ablution.  Wet ablution is called as Wudu and dry ablution is called as Tayyamum.

Today we are talking about Tayyamum, actually recalling its revelation about  how  the verses came down giving us ease when there is no water available but still one can offer Salah without missing it by doing Tayyamum, Alhamdulillah.

The Quran says (what means): "…And if you are ill or on a journey or one of you comes from the place of relieving himself or you have contacted women [i.e., had sexual intercourse] and find no water, then seek clean earth and wipe over your faces and your hands [with it]. Indeed, Allah is ever Pardoning and Forgiving." [Quran 4:43]

Narrated By ‘Aisha : (The wife of the Prophet)

We set out with Allah’s Apostle on one of his journeys till we reached Al-Baida’ or Dhatul-Jaish, a necklace of mine was broken (and lost). Allah’s Apostle stayed there to search for it, and so did the people along with him. There was no water at that place, so the people went to Abu- Bakr As-Siddiq and said, “Don’t you see what ‘Aisha has done? She has made Allah’s Apostle and the people stay where there is no water and they have no water with them.” Abu Bakr came while Allah’s Apostle was sleeping with his head on my thigh, He said, to me: “You have detained Allah’s Apostle and the people where there is no water and they have no water with them.

So he admonished me and said what Allah wished him to say and hit me on my flank with his hand. Nothing prevented me from moving (because of pain) but the position of Allah’s Apostle on my thigh. Allah’s Apostle got up when dawn broke and there was no water. So Allah revealed the Divine Verses of Tayammum. So they all performed Tayammum. Usaid bin Hudair said, “O the family of Abu Bakr! This is not the first blessing of yours.” Then the camel on which I was riding was caused to move from its place and the necklace was found beneath it.

Volume 001 :: Book 007 (Tayammum) :: Hadith 332

Subhanallah, from this hadith we can get to know many things if we focus as- How the sahabahs were restless, how their hearts were inclined, how much particular they were with their Salahs, how much they loved ALLAH swt that they didnot want to miss salah. They were wishing to leave and were a bit upset with Ayesha r.a because they wanted to reach to a place where they can find water and could be able to offer Salah. With many of us though we can find a corner we don't utilize the opportunity and would think of offering qadha later on- there is much difference in our ikhlaas and their's Subhanallah and praying to learn and develop the same ikhlaas as that of Rasools and Sahabahs, Allahumma aameen!!!

For their pure love- ALLAH swt showed them(infact all of us) a way to be still be able to offer salah without water and that is by simple steps to do and one will be able to start with his/her salah(But not to miss salah under any circumstances). 

The first thing which will be questioned on the day of judgement is about Salahs. Sahabahs werenot aware of the scientific benefits but still they were firm with it because they really believed, they had strong faith, today we read so many research articles proving how important is this exercise which serves as a medicine for our human body but still we don't pay a heed towards praying, ALLAH's ordainments are for our and our only Good. Science must add more stars to our faith-Subhanallah!!! "The love of Sahabahs". After our messengers they are the examples for us. For us Science must make our Eman more stronger to implement what is been ordained in the Qur'an and Aahadith, in'shaa ALLAH.

Another point to be noted is - "Everything happens for a purpose" and only 'ALLAH swt' is aware of it and His plans are beyond the scope of human mind to reach how much ever one try to get there he can't, we analyze make assumptions and draw conclusions but that is just not final enough as we are unaware about anything. Knowledge and  Hikmah is with ALLAH swt and for us it is better  to have patience during every phase of our life as they will not bring bad but they will bring best and ease for us, we should trust in ALLAH swt, Yaa Ayyuhalladhiina aamanustaeenu bissabri wa salah...

Salah must never be missed because of the great rewards it carries and inorder not to miss the rewards ALLAH swt blessed us with another blessing to make use of it and that is the Tayyamum as per the hadith:

Prophet  sallallaahu  `alayhi  wa  sallam ( may  Allah exalt his mention ) said: "All of the earth has been made a pure place of prayer for me and my nation. Whenever a person from my nation wants to pray, he has something with which to purify himself, that is, the earth." [Ahmad]

The steps of doing Tayyamum:

 Say Bismillaah with the intention of doing tayammum, then strike the ground once with the palms of the hands, then wipe the back of the right hand with the palm of the left, and the back of the left hand with the palm of the right, then wipe the face with both hands. Then the same du’aa’s that are recited after wudoo’ should be recited after tayammum, Alhamdulillah!!!

Conditions:

1) If water is not available.
2) If one cannot use water, example: Due to medical reasons.

May ALLAH swt help us to offer our Salahs at their prescribed time, grant us endurance, guide us always, Aameen. 

 Hasbunallahu wa ni'amal wakeel,  Aameen.

Displeasing Acts in the Sight of ALLAH swt

Assalamu 'alaikum wa rahmatullahi wa barakathuh dear Brothers and Sisters in Deen,

Alhamdulillahi Rabbil 'aalameen.

Our life is a gift given by ALLAH swt and ALLAH swt has given us guidance about how to lead our life accordingly. 

ALLAH swt mentions in the Qur'an in surah Al Baqarah:

This is the Book about which there is no doubt, a guidance for those conscious of Allah - Who believe in the unseen, establish prayer, and spend out of what We have provided for them,And who believe in what has been revealed to you, [O Muhammad], and what was revealed before you, and of the Hereafter they are certain [in faith]. Those are upon [right] guidance from their Lord, and it is those who are the successful.

Sometimes we feel, we are following the message, but we may sometimes get into some acts  which makes us attain the displeasure of ALLAH swt. Frequently we must make ourselves remind of 'what nots'.

Here is a list of few of the displeasing acts in the sight of ALLAH swt:

Shirk:

Qur’an describes about Shirk being the greatest sin in many Qur'anic Verses:

And indeed it has been revealed to you (O Muhammad SAW),

as it was to those (Allah's     Messengers) before you:

"If you join others in worship with Allah, (then) surely (all) your deeds will be in vain, 

and you will certainly be among the losers." (Az-Zumar 39:65)

In another Verse ALLAH swt says:

“Allah forgives not that partners should be set up with Him; but He forgives anything else, to whom He pleases; to set up partners with Allah is to devise a sin most heinous indeed.”

[Al-Qur’an 4:48]

In another Verse ALLAH swt says:

“Allah forgives not (the sin of) joining other gods

with Him; but He forgives whom He pleases other sins than this: one who joins other gods with Allah, has strayed far, far away (from the Right).”

[Al-Qur’an 4:116]

Shirk is generally classified into two: Major Shirk and Minor Shirk, We must make sure that we must avoid these two.

Istikbaar:

Istikbaar means Pride.

ALLAH swt mentions it in the verses provided below:

“verily He loveth not the arrogant (proud).”

(Surah Al Nahl 16:23)

Worship Allah and join none with Him (in worship); and do good to parents, kinsfolk, orphans, Al-Masakeen, the poor, the neighbor who is near of kin, the neighbor who is a stranger, the companion by your side, the wayfarer (you meet), and those (slaves) whom your right hands possess. Verily, Allah does not like such as are proud and boastful.( Surah An Nisa 4:36)

And our Prophet Muhammad (SallAllahu Alaihi Wa Sallam) says,

“Pride is to completely disregard the truth and scorn (looking down upon) the people”

[Muslim]

“He who has in his heart the weight of a mustard seed of pride shall not enter paradise.”

[Sahih Muslim, Book: 001, Hadith: 0166]

Pride is among the greatest means of damage to a person’s wealth and circumstances. It distances one away from Allah’s love. May ALLAH swt save us from this, Aameen.

Ifsaad( Mischief Making):

Allah swt mentions in the Qur'an:

“And Allah loveth not those who do mischief.”

(Surah Al Ma’idah 5:64)

This is a comprehensive term which includes great crimes, sins, oppression, carrying false tales, hypocrisy, tyranny and all kinds of mischief. All these acts are despicable and stain the Iman.

Our Prophet Muhammad (SallAllahu Alaihi Wa Sallam) said:

“Faith wears out in the heart of any one of you just as clothes wear out, so ask Allah to renew the faith in your hearts.”

[Al-Haakim in Al-Mustadrak and Al-Haythami in Majma Az-Zawaa’id]

Israaf (Extravagance):

"But waste not by excess: for Allah loves not the wasters (Al-Musrifun (those who waste by extravagance))."

[Surah Al An'am 6:141]
http://islamicradiance.blogspot.in/2017/11/overcoming-extravagance.html

Udwaan:

Udwaan means Transgression about which ALLAH swt warns us in these verses:

"For Allah loves not transgressors." [Surah Al Ma'idah 5:87]

 And they said nothing but: "Our Lord! Forgive us our sins and our transgressions (in keeping our duties to You), establish our feet firmly, and give us victory over the disbelieving folk."

(Aal-i-Imraan, 3:147)

Whomsoever Allah sends astray, none can guide him; and He lets them wander blindly in their transgressions.

(Al-A'raaf, Chapter 7:186) 

(Saying) eat of the Tayyibat (good lawful things) wherewith We have provided you, and commit no transgression or oppression therein, lest My Anger should justly descend on you. And he on whom My Anger descends, he is indeed perished. (Taa-Haa,20:81)

And though We had mercy on them and removed the distress which is on them, still they would obstinately persist in their transgression, wandering blindly.

( Al-Muminoon, 23:75)

Narrated by Anas bin Malik (RadiAllahu Anhu):

“A group of three men came to the houses of the wives of the Prophet (SallAllahu Alaihi Wa Sallam) asking how the Prophet worshipped (Allah), and when they were informed about that, they considered their worship insufficient and said, “Where are we from the Prophet as his past and future sins have been forgiven.”

Then one of them said,

“I will offer the prayer throughout the night forever.”

The other said,

“I will fast throughout the year and will not break my fast.”

The third said,

“I will keep away from the women and will not marry forever.”

Allah’s Apostle came to them and said:

“Are you the same people who said so-and-so? By Allah, I am more submissive to Allah and more afraid of Him than you; yet I fast and break my fast, I do sleep and I also marry women. So he who does not follow my tradition in religion, is not from me (not one of my followers).”‘

[Sahih Bukhari, Book: 62, Hadith: 1]

May ALLAH swt help us, aameen.

Publicity of Evil:

ALLAH swt says in the Qur'an:

“Allah does not like that evil should be uttered in public except by him who has been wronged. And Allah is Ever All-Hearer, All-Knower.”

(4:148)

This is very common in our time now, people commit sins openly not worrying about it's impact on others.

 When certain things come up in front of the people repeatedly, there are chances that others too may get involved into the acts. May ALLAH swt help us to guard ourselves, give us the strength to fight against this, aaameen.

Obscene Words and Acts:

Prophet Muhammad (SallAllahu Alaihi Wa Sallam)  said:

“Allah hates obscene words and acts.”

This is one of the common disease our Ummah is suffering from. We sometimes use obscene language and think they are cool or just for fun. May ALLAH swt help us to guard our tongue, aameen.

Betrayal, Corruption, Oppression are also such among the acts which displeases ALLAH swt as said in the verses:

“Verily, Allah likes not any treacherous ingrate to Allah [those who disobey Allah but obey Satan].”

(22:38)

“Verily, He likes not the Thalimun (oppressors, polytheists, and wrongdoers).”

(42:40)

“And Allah likes not mischief.”

(2:205)

“Verily, Allah does not like anyone who is a betrayer, a sinner.”

(4:107)

A muslim is never a betrayer, not even for fun that he betrays not even thinks of doing any in his imagination nor in real.

We must exhibit a morally strong character free from lying, betraying. Rasoolullah saw, sahabahs are our role models.

Exultant For Worldly Desires:

“Verily, Allah likes not those who exult (with riches, being ungrateful to Allah).”

(28:76)

ALLAH swt mentions about being exultant for worldly desires in surah Takathur in more detail.

Our  Prophet Muhammad (SallAllahu Alaihi Wa Sallam) had told us about this in many aahadith. 

One such mention is:

“The Son of Adam (i.e. man) says, “My wealth, my wealth.” But do you get anything (of benefit) from your wealth except for that which you ate and you finished it, or that which you clothed yourself with and you wore it out, or that which you gave as charity and you have spent it?” [Narrated by Muslim, At-Tirmidhi, An-Nasai’i]

May ALLAH swt protect us, Aameen.

Attaining Jannah is the dream of every muslim, hence we should try hard to help our selves making ourselves to become Muttaqeen, Sabireen, Saliheen, Siddiqeen, in'shaa ALLAH.

Prophet Muhammad (SallAllahu Alaihi Wa Sallam) said:

“If Allah loves someone He calls Gabriel (the angel) and says: I love so-and-so, so you love him. Gabriel loves him, and calls the other angels in Heaven to love that person. They love him, then his love will be made upon earth, and he becomes beloved. And if Allah hates someone He calls Gabriel and says: I hate so-and-so and you hate him. Gabriel hates him and calls the angels in Heaven and says: Allah hates so-and-so, so you all hate him. They all hate him, and his hatred is made upon earth and he becomes hated.”

[Muslim1.

If we can constantly check ourselves, our behaviour with self and others, remind ourselves of these verses and encourage ourselves to make ourselves act according to what ALLAH swt gets pleased with, we can attain the real and for ever happiness.

'Forgetfulness' it is in our nature, so frequent recitation of Qur'an makes us to remember, act and also to preach it to others. QUR'AN is considered as the Best dhikr. 

May ALLAH swt help us to do the deeds which pleases HIM and protect us from engaging into displeasing acts even to the slightest bit. Astaghfirullah!!!

May ALLAH swt help us always, aameen.

Rabbana wa-j'alna Muslimaini laka wa min Dhurriyatina 'Ummatan Muslimatan laka wa 'Arina Manasikana wa tub 'alaina 'innaka 'antat-Tawwabu-Raheem, Aameen.

Asma Bint Abu Bakr (Radhiyallahu Anha)

Assalamu alaikum wa rahmatullahi wa barakathuh dear Brothers and Sisters in Deen,

Eman, Tawakkul 'alALLAH and the Immense love and strive for Akhirah use to be the first priority for our Sahabahs and Sahabiyath. 

Here is the mention of One such Sahabiyath, Subhanallah!!!

May ALLAH swt make us be like them, aameen. We are going to discuss about Asma 'Bint Abu Bakr (Radhiyallahu Anha) today, in'shaa ALLAH.

Asma Bint Abu Bakr (Radhiyallahu Anha) was the daughter of Abu Bakr Siddiq (Radhiyallahu 'Anhu). Her mother's name was Qatilah bint 'Uza. For a long time her mother did not accept Islam; finally after the conquest of Makkah she pledged allegiance to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him)

Asma was among the one who gave pledge to the Prophet (pbuh) and firmly believed in him in Mecca and was among the first reverts.

She was intelligent, courageous, a generous lady.

She was given the title Zât an-Nitâqayn (the possessor of the two bands) by Rasoolullah saw.

 It so happened that: When the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) and Abu Bakr As-Siddiq prepared to set off for Al-Madinah, Asma Radhiyallahu 'anha packed the eatables into a leather bag, but there was no rope with which she could tie up the mouth of the bag. So she divided her girdle into two and used one part to tie up the leather bag. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) blessed her and said that in place of this one girdle that she sacrificed, she would get two in Paradise. So, he implied that she would go to Paradise. In this manner the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) gave the news of a glorious Hereafter to his faithful Companions, Subhanallah!!!

After her father and the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) left, Asma' was left with her blind and aged grandfather, Abu Quhafah. When he realized that his son had migrated he was sad. Then he was worried whether he had left any cash for expenses. She narrated that they had about four or five thousand Dinars in the house and her father had taken it all for the expenses of the journey and to spend it in the path of ALLAH subhanahu wa ta'ala. But, she comforted the aged grandfather, saying there was plenty in the house, and nothing was lacking. In order to convince him she collected some pebbles that were of the size of Dinars; these she put in a pot and spreaded a cloth over them. Then she guided his old hands over the cloth; Abu Quhafah was very pleased that his son had not neglected them. Asma' had done this for her grandfather's peace of mind. Subhanallah!!!

Asma was married to Zubayr bin 'Awam, a companion of Rasoolullah saw.

Narrated Asmâ’ bint Abu Bakr:

When Az-zubair married me, he had not real property or anything else except a camel, which drew water from the well, and his horse. I used to feed his horse with fodder and drew water and sew the bucket for drawing it, and prepare the dough, but I did not know how to bake bread. So our ansari neighbouress used to bake bread for me, and they were honorable ladies. I used to carry the date stones on my head from Zubair’s land to him by Allah’s Messenger and this land was two third Farsakh (About two miles) from my house. One day, while I was coming with the date stones on my head, I met Allah’s Messenger along with some Ansari people. He called me and then, (directing his camel to kneel down) said, “Ikh! Ikh!” so as to make me ride behind him (on his camel). I felt shy to travel with the men and remembered Az- Zubair and his sense of Ghira (being jealous), for he had the greatest sense of Ghira of all the people. Allah’s Messenger (pbuh) noticed that I felt shy, so he proceeded. I came to Az-Zubair and said, “I met Allah’s Messenger (pbuh) while I was carrying a load of date stones on my, and he had some companions with him. He made his camel kneel down so that I might ride, but I felt shy in his presence and remembered your sense of Ghira. On that Az-Zubair said, “By Allah, your carrying the date-stones (and you being seen by the Prophet (pbuh) in such a state) is more shameful to me than your riding with him. (i.e. You should have obeyed the Prophet).'” (I continued serving in this way) untill Abu Bakr sent me a servant to look after the horse, whereupon I felt as if he had set me free.”

 Asma Radhiyallahu 'anha was blessed with a son when she was migrating to Al-Madinah, near the valley of Quba she went into labor, and gave birth to a son 'Abdullah bin Zubayr (Radhiyallahu Anhu) . Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) he picked up the baby in his arms and congratulated the family. Then he bit off a little piece of a date, softened it in his mouth and gave it to the baby. This was an honor that made the family feel very proud. Later Zubair (Radhiyallahu anhu) became a rich man. Asma(Radhiyallahu Anha), She was so generous that when felling ill she would wait until she recovered and then free her slaves. Subhanallah!!!

She was a brave lady who would always be ready to serve deen, She didnot set herself back when there were times to show her service for deen, She took part in the battle of Yarmuk and fought bravely. She also kept a dagger to defend herself when thieves appeared in Medina at the time of Sa’id Ibn Al-‘As.

She was a brave mother who would constantly guide her son, 

When Abdbullah (Radhiyallahu Anha) moved to Makkah she also accompanied him. He did not accept Banu Umayyah as the caliph and tried to set up his own caliphate; he succeeded in winning the support of most people since they acknowledged him to be a powerful, learned and brave man. However, when 'Abdul Malik bin Marwan ascended the throne, he took over some of the provinces. He sent Hajjaj bin Yusuf as his representative to Hijaz. Hajjaj took command of the Syrian forces and besieged, attacking it from all sides; an intense battle ensued between the two forces.

 A desperate battle was being waged now in Makkah itself and 'Abdullah bin Zubayr's army was facing defeat. He went to see his mother who was at the mosque and asked her if he should surrender. She replied that if he was in the right he should not worry about dying. He said he feared that the enemy would cut up his body after death. She answered wisely it was irrelevant what they did with the body. Once a goat is slaughtered the skinning cannot cause it any pain. She added that fear of death should not stand in the way of a truly courageous man. Death with honour was better than a life of peace with dishonor. A disgraceful peace did not suit a young hero like him. So 'Abdullah bin Zubayr returned to the battlefield with renewed ardour and advanced through the ranks fighting courageously; but since they were outnumbered he died the death of a martyr.

 When Hajjaj saw the mother standing near the son's body he sent a messenger to bring her to him. She answered  that she would not go to see her son's murderer. When Hajjaj bin Yusuf got the message, he was filled with rage. She was brave enough to answer Hajjaj:

“You spoiled his life but he spoiled your next.” 

She beared patience, but she didnot scattered. She was always ready to preach the right word and to support the truth not worrying about who is infront of her. She feared only ALLAH swt.

Asma (Radhiyallahu Anha) had a very sharp memory. If she heard anything even once she would never forget it, she also has many ahadiths attributed to her. Many Companions and successors would come to her for guidance and verification of Ahadiths. Subhanallah!!!!

We must try to learn many lessons from Sahabahs and Sahabiyaths, they are role models for us after Rasoolullah saw.

We are weak, we need to become strong like the ones passed by, May ALLAH swt be pleased with them. We must exhibit courage at times of need, we must help and serve the deen as much as we can, we must bear patience and act with wisdom constantly encouraging our fellow Muslims to stand firm in following Deen to the best.

May ALLAH swt help us all, grant us patience, strength and success, Aameen.

Rabbana Afrigh 'alayna Sabraww, wa thabbit Aqdamana wansurna 'alal Qawmil Kafireen, aameen.

Earning ALLAH swt's love through our Deeds

Assalamu alaikum wa rahmatullahi wa barakathuh dear Brothers and Sisters in Deen,

Allah swt loves the Sabireen, Muhsineen, muttaqeen. Our goal of life is to please our Rabb and attain HIS love.

Allah Swt loves the one who tries to spread peace constantly engaging himself/herself in accordance to what is mentioned in Qur'an and Ahadith.

We love ALLAH swt and we must try our very best to please our Rabb, getting engaged in the deeds that will make us gain 'Our Rabb's Love, which is our Mission and way to Jannah.

There are many deeds listed in the Aahadith which one can do to have abundant rewards and to gain love of ALLAH swt.

Here are few:

Engaging in Dhikr:

Abu Huraira reported: The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said:

 سُبْحَانَ اللَّهِ وَبِحَمْدِهِ سُبْحَانَ اللَّهِ الْعَظِيمِ

Two words are beloved to the Most Merciful. They are light on the tongue but heavy on the scale: glory and praise to Allah, and glory to Allah the Almighty.

Source: Sahih Bukhari 7124

We can read many Kalimaths mentioned in the Ahadith.

In an other Hadith:

Abu Ad-Darda’ (May Allah be pleased with him) narrated that the Prophet said:

“Shall I not inform you of the best of your actions, the purest in the sight of your Lord, which raises your rank to the highest, which is better for you than spending gold and silver, better than meeting your enemy so that you strike at their necks and they strike at yours?’ They replied: ‘Yes, indeed,’ and he said: ‘It is the remembrance of Allah.” (At-Tirmidhi) 

Narrated by Muslim, 720. 

Performing Prayers:

Abu Huraira reported: The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said:

If there was a river at the door of anyone of you and he took a bath in it five times a day, would you notice any dirt on him? 

In an other Hadith:

Umm Habiba reported: The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said:

There is no Muslim servant who prays for Allah twelve bowings every day in addition to what is obligatory except that Allah will build for him a house in Paradise.

Umm Habiba said:

I have never abandoned praying them after this.

Source: Sahih Muslim 728, Grade: Sahih

Praying In Masjid:

Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) said in a hadith:

“Whoever goes to the mosque in the morning and evening, Allah will prepare for him an honorable place in the Paradise every time he goes and comes.” (Bukhari)

Recitation of the Quran:

Every letter we recite will be recorded as ten good deeds and each verse we memorize will raise us a degree in Paradise as mentioned in the Hadith:

Abdullah ibn Mas’ud reported: The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said:

Whoever recites a letter from the Book of Allah, he will receive one good deed as ten good deeds like it. I do not say that Alif Lam Meem is one letter, but rather Alif is a letter, Lam is a letter, and Meem is a letter.

Source: Sunan At-Tirmidhi 2910, Grade: Sahih

Being Kind and dutiful towards our parents:

The  Prophet  (ﷺ-Sallallaho Alaihi Wa’sallam) said:

“What a loss is for him! What a loss is for him! What a loss is for him!” Someone asked: “Who, O Allah’s Messenger?” He replied: “He whose parents reach old age,  either one  or  both of  them,  and he does  not use their  presence  (by being  good  to  them,  etc.)  to  cause him to enter Paradise.”

(Sahih Muslim)

Helping the Needy:

Allah swt mentions in the Qur'an:

(O Prophet!) Tell those of My servants who believe that they should establish Prayer and spend out of what We have provided them with, both secretly and openly, before there arrives the Day when there will be no bargaining, nor any mutual befriending. (14:31)

In many ahadith we come across the merits of helping:

Abu Huraira narrated that the Prophet said: The best charity is that which is practiced by a wealthy person. And start giving first to your dependents. (Bukhari)

Safwan ibn Salim related that the Prophet said: Anyone who looks after and works for a widow and a poor person is like a warrior fighting for Allah's cause, or like a person who fasts during the day and prays all night. (Bukhari)

Anas related that the Prophet said: If any Muslim plants something or sows seed from which a man, a bird or an animal eats, it counts as a charity for him. (Bukhari, Muslim)

Upholding the ties of kinship:

It was narrated that Anas (may Allaah be pleased with him) said: I heard the Messenger of Allaah (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) say: “Whoever would like his provision to be increased and his lifespan extended, let him uphold his ties of kinship.” 

Narrated by al-Bukhaari, 5639; Muslim, 2557.

Helping the living Beings:

Abu Huraira reported: The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said:

Once a man suffered from thirst while he was walking on a journey. When he found a well, he climbed down into it and drank from it. Then he came out and saw a dog lolling its tongue from thirst and licking the ground. The man said: This dog has suffered thirst just as I have suffered from it. He climbed down into the well, filled his shoe with water, and caught it in his mouth as he climbed up. Then he gave the dog a drink. Allah appreciated this deed, so He forgave him.

It was said, “O Messenger of Allah, is there a reward for charity even for the animals?” The Prophet said:

In every living being there is a reward for charity.

Observing voluntary fasts, visiting the sick:

It was narrated that Abu Hurayrah said: The Messenger of Allaah (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said: “Who among you is fasting today?” Abu Bakr (may Allaah be pleased with him) said: “I am.” He said: “Who among you has attended a funeral today?” Abu Bakr (may Allaah be pleased with him) said: “I have.” He said: “Who among you has fed a poor person today?’ Abu Bakr (may Allaah be pleased with him) said: “I have.” He said: “Who among you has visited a sick person today?” Abu Bakr (may Allaah be pleased with him) said: “I have.” The Messenger of Allaah (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said: “These (traits) are not combined in a person but he will enter Paradise.” 

Enjoining in what is good and forbidding what is evil:

It was narrated from Abu Dharr that the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said: “For every bone of the son of Adam a charity must be given each day. Every tasbeehah [saying Subhaan Allaah (Glory be to Allaah)] is a charity, every tahmeedah [saying al-hamdu Lillaah (praise be to Allaah)] is a charity, every tahleelah [saying Laa ilaaha ill-Allaah (There is no god but Allaah)] is a charity, every takbeerah [saying Allaahu akbar [Allaah is Most Great]) is a charity, enjoining what is good is a charity, forbidding what is evil is a charity, and two rak’ahs offered in the mid-morning (Duha) is sufficient.” 

Narrated by Muslim, 720. 

In another Hadith:

The  Prophet  (ﷺ-Sallallaho Alaihi Wa’sallam) said:

“Righteous deeds protect a person from an evil end; a charity  spent  in secret  extinguishes  Allah’s  wrath; and  maintaining  good  ties  of kinship increases  ones lifespan.”

(Tibaraani)

These listed  deeds and many more which are mentioned in the aahadith are reward earning deeds which will help us fulfilling our purpose of life to Please ALLAH swt through our Ibadahs and actions. When ALLAH swt loves a person, the person will have the 'Best', which can't be explained in Words.

Abu Hurayrah said: The Messenger of Allah (blessings and peace of Allah be upon him) said: “When Allah loves a person, He calls Jibreel and says: ‘I love So and so, so love him.’ So Jibreel loves him, then he calls out  to the people of heaven, ‘Allah loves So and so, so love him.’ So the people of heaven love him and he finds acceptance on earth. If Allah hates a person, He calls Jibreel and says: ‘I hate So and so, so hate him.’ So Jibreel hates him, then he calls out to the people of heaven: ‘Allah hates So and so, so hate him.’ So they hate him and he is hated on earth.”

Al-Bukhaari (3209) and Muslim (2637)

May ALLAH swt guide us to the 'Best of practicing the knowledge we are blessed with' to gain HIS abundant love, aameen yaa Rahmaan- e- Raheem,

Rabbana Taqabbal du'a, Aaameen, thumma aameen.

Qur'an and Stages of Revelation

Assalamu alaikum wa rahmatullahi wa barakathuh,

Quran is a noble, complete, perfect, and fully detailed guidance sent for humankind. Quran is fully detailed information provider for religious law and "complete in truth and justice."

Qur'an was revealed on Prophet Muhammad sallallahu alaihi wa sallam.

To discuss more in detail about the The Quran, it was revealed in two stages. Subhanallah!!!

Stage One:

The first stage was when  Quran was brought to the First heaven by Jibreel alaihi salam from Lowhe Mahfooz. 

The Quran mentions the Preserved Tablet in this verse: “Nay! This is a Glorious Quran, inscribed in a Preserved Tablet”

 [Quran 85:21-22].

In an other verse ALLAH swt tells us that it was sent down during a specific night: “By the Book that makes things clear; - We sent it down during a Blessed Night: for We (ever) wish to warn (against Evil). In the (Night) is made distinct every affair of wisdom.” [Quran 44:2-4]

And (which means): “We have indeed sent down this during the Night of Power.”

 [Quran 97:1].

ALLAH swt mentions about the importance of Qur'an and its sending, which is again a sign of HIS supremeity, HIS power, HIS grant providing us the very precious in'aam- the biggest blessing for us the glorious Qur'an- which is very special in its existence and  in its appointed reach,  reaching us on Lailatul Qadr. Subhanallahi wa bihamdihi Subhanallahil Adheem.

The above two verses indicate that the Quran was sent down on a single blessed night in the month of Ramadan that is called the 'Night of Power, or Decree'. 

It is the blessed time, we seek out ALLAH's help with HIS remembrance. This night is special and is full of blessings as mentioned in the surah al Qadr.

Stage Two:

This stage of revelation lasted for about 23 years in which the Quran was sent down in response to the development of events and in accordance with the sequence needed for the Message.

The Prophet  sallallaahu  `alayhi  wa  sallam ( may  Allah exalt his mention ) after receiving revelation, could retain the verses in his memory as a blessing of ALLAH swt, soon he would recite them to whoever was in his company, A group of them wrote things down for the Messenger of Allaah (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him), including Ubayy ibn Ka’b, Zayd ibn Thaabit, ‘Ali, ‘Uthmaan, Hanzalah al-Asadi, Mu’aawiyah, and ‘Abd-Allaah ibn al-Arqam, who was his regular scribe in charge of writing. 

Allah, Most High, Says (what means): “… A Quran which We have given seriatim (separated out) in order that you may recite it to the people at intervals and We have caused it to come down successively (by stages).”

 [Quran 17:106]

Subhanallah!!!

This book is an ultimate guide for us, with the essence of all the previous books brought in one with more detail, every verse is in depth, every word is magical, the presentation is magical, the truth is an eye opener, the wisdom is amazing, the guidance is pure and helping in both the worlds, it melts the hearts, its wordings take us to Success, how many a times we read Qur'an we never feel bored, It always serves us as 'a best friend '.

Also that, It acts as a Saviour on the day of Qayamah coming as an intercessor on the day of Qayamah. Subhanallah for this precious gift!!!!

Our Prophet Muhammad (s.a.w) said, “Every Prophet was given miracles because of which people believed, but what I have been given is Divine Inspiration which Allah has revealed to me. So I hope that my followers will outnumber the followers of the other Prophets on the Day of Resurrection.”

May ALLAH swt help us to be firm on the hidayah he has granted us through Qur'an, may we try to know more about Qur'an, its surahs, its message and get very much close to our close Friend, guide, protector, guardian and much more-our RABB- ALLAH subhanahu wa ta'aala, aameen.

Rabbana la tuzigh Quloobana ba'da idh hadaytana wa hablana milladunka rahmah innaka antal wahhab, aameen.
