Stop grumbling

“Let none of you complain about time, for Allah is time.’

(Imam Malik’s Muwatta, Book 56)

Words carry weight, be it good or bad

“A man speaks what is pleasing to Allah and he does not suspect that it will have the result that it does, and Allah will write for him His good pleasure for it until the day when he meets Him. And a man speaks what excites the wrath of Allah and he does not suspect that it will have the result that it does, and Allah will write His wrath for him for it until the day when he meets Him.”

(Imam Malik’s Muwatta, Book 56)

A coward & miser, but not liar!

“The Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, was asked, ‘Can the mumin be a coward?’ He said, ‘Yes.’ He was asked, ‘Can the mumin be a miser?’ He said, ‘Yes.’ He was asked, ‘Can the mumin be a liar?’ He said, ‘No.’ ”

(Imam Malik’s Muwatta, Book 56)

Guard your tongue!

“If a man says to his Muslim brother, ‘O kafir!’ it is true about one of them.”

(Imam Malik’s Muwatta, Book 56)

Anyone saw a dream last night?

Abu Hurayra narrates that when the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, left the morning prayer, he would say, “Has any of you had a dream last night? All that will remain of prophecy after me will be the true dream .”

(Imam Malik’s Muwatta, Book 52)

The Paradise avenue…

“One who in spite of having capacity to avenge (a wrong) controls his anger, will be singled and called out by Allah, the Holy, the Exalted, over and above the multitude on the Day of judgment, and given to choose a black-eyed houri”

(Bukhari and Muslim).

‘Houri’ is name of the women found in paradise- Jaihoon

——————————————————————————–

In paradise …

“The inmates of paradise will look at each others apartments as you see stars in the sky.”
(Bukhari and Muslim)

——————————————————————————–

When Ramadan arrives…
“When the month of Ramadan arrives, the gates of Paradise are opened, and those of the hell are closed up, and the Satans are imprisoned.”

(Bukhari and Muslim)

——————————————————————————–

When a person fasts…

“When a person fasts for a day, for the sake of Allah, then Allah drives away the Hell from him to a distance of seventy years of traveling”
(Bukhari and Muslim)

——————————————————————————–

There is nothing as great as Allah’s Mercy

“Allah the Almighty has said: O son of Adam, so long as you call upon Me and ask of Me, I shall forgive you for what you have done, and I shall not mind. O son of Adam, were your sins to reach the clouds of the sky and were you then to ask forgiveness of Me, I would forgive you. O son of Adam, were you to come to Me with sins nearly as great as the earth and were then to face me, ascribing no partner to me, I would bring you forgiveness nearly as great as it.
(Tirmidhi)

——————————————————————————–

Everyone is a vendor of his own soul

“Purity is half of Faith. Al-hamdu lillah {Praise be to Allah}, and Subhana Allah {How far is Allah from every imperfection} fill that is between heaven and earth. Prayer is light; charity is a proof; patience is illumination; and the Quran is an argument for or against you. Everyone starts his day and is a vendor of his soul, either freeing it or bringing about its ruin.
(Muslim)

——————————————————————————–

The Art of Compensation

“Fear Allah wherever you are, and follow up a bad deed with a good one and it will wipe it out, and behave well towards people.”
(Tirmidhi)

——————————————————————————–

Being a good Muslim

“Part of someone?s being a good Muslim is leaving alone that which does not concern him.”
(Tirmidhi)

——————————————————————————–

Obedience to Prophet’s teachings

“What I have forbidden to you, avoid; what I have ordered to you (to do) do as much of it as you can. It was only their excessive questioning and their disagreeing with their Prophets that destroyed those who were before you.”
(Bukhari and Muslim)

——————————————————————————–

Intention is most important

“Intention determines the worth of a person’s actions and he will attain what he intends. If by immigration his aim is to please Allah and His Messenger, then his migration is for this purpose; and if he migrates seeking the attainment of some worldly object, or for the sake of marrying a woman and as such his migration will be reckoned for that particular object”
(Bukhari and Muslim)

——————————————————————————–

The case of a Believer!

“The case of of a believer is wonderful; there is good for him in everything, and this characteristic is exclusively for him alone. If he experiences something pleasant, he is grateful to Allah and that is good for him; and if he comes across some adversity, he is patient and submissive and that too is good for him.”
(Bukhari)

——————————————————————————–

What does Allah look for?

“Allah does not go after your bodies and appearances, but He scans your hearts.”
(Bukhari)

“All praise is due to Allah, so we praise Him, and seek His pardon and we turn to Him. We seek refuge with Allah from the evils of ourselves and from the evil consequences of our deeds. Whom Allah guides aright there is none to lead him astray; and there is none to guide him aright whom Allah leads astray. I bear witness that there is no God but Allah, the One, having no partner with Him. His is the sovereignty and to Him is due all praise. He grants life and causes death and is Powerful over everything. There is no God but Allah, the One; He fulfilled His promise and granted victory to His bondsman, and He alone routed the confederates (of the enemies of Islam).

O? People! Listen to my words, for I do not know whether we shall ever meet again and perform Hajj after this year. O? Ye people! Allah says, O? people We created you from one male and one female and made you into tribes and nations, so as to be known to one another. Verily in the sight of Allah, the most honoured amongst you is the one who is most God-fearing. There is no superiority for an Arab over a non-Arab and for a non-Arab over an Arab, nor for the white over the black nor for the black over the white except in God-conciousness.

All mankind is the progeny of Adam and Adam was fashioned out of clay. Behold; every claim of privilage whether that of blood or property, is under my heels except that of the custody of the Ka?bah and supplying of water to the pilgrims, O? people of Quraish, don?t appear (on the Day of Judgement) with the burden of this world around your necks, whereas other people may appear (before the Lord) with the rewards of the hereafter. In that case I shall avail you naught against Allah.

Behold! All practice of the days of ignorance are now under my feet. The blood revenges of the days of ignorance are remitted. The first claim on blood I abolish is that of Ibn Rabiah bin Harith who was nursed in the tribe of Sa?ad and whom the Hudhayls killed. All interest and usurious dues accruing from the times of ignorance stand wiped out. And the first amount of interest that I remit is that which Abbas ibn Abd-al Muttalib had to receive. Verily it is remitted entirely.

O? people! Verily yor blood, your property and your honour are sacred and inviolable until you appear before your Lord, as the sacred inviolability of this day of yours, this month of yours and this very town (of yours). Verily you will soon meet your Lord and you will be held answerable for your actions.

O? people! Verily you have got certain rights over your women and your women have certain rights over you. It is your right upon them to honour their conjugal rights, and not to commit acts of impropriety, which if they do, you are authorised by Allah to separate them from your beds amd chastise them, but not severely, and if they refrain, then clothe and feed them properly.

Behold! It is not permissible for a woman to give anything from the wealth of her husband to anyone but with his consent.

Treat the women kindly, since they are your helpers and not in a position to manage their affairs themselves. Fear Allah concerning women, for verily you have taken them on the security of Allah and have made their persons lawful unto you by words of Allah.

O? people! Allah, the Mighty and Exalted, has ordained to every one his due share (of inheritance). Hence there is no need (of special) testament for an heir (departing from the rules laid down by the Shari?ah).

The child belongs to the marriage-bed and the violator of wedlock shall be stoned. And Reckoning of their (deeds) rests with Allah.

He who attributes his ancestry to other than his father or claims his clientship to other than his master, the curse of Allah is upon him.

All debts must be repaid, all borrowed property must be returned, gifts should be reciprocated and a surety must make good the loss to the assured.

Beware! No one committing a crime is responsible for it but himself. Neither the child is responsible for the crime of his father, nor the father is responsible for the crime of his child.

Nothing of his brother is lawful for a Muslim except what he himself gives willingly. So do not wrong yourselves.

O? People! Every Muslim is the brother of every other Muslim, and all the Muslims form one brotherhood. And your slaves; see that you feed them with such food as you eat yourselves, and clothe them with the clothes that you yourselves wear.

Take heed not to go astray after me and strike one another?s necks. He who (amongst you) has any trust with him, he must return it to its owner.

O? people! Listen and obey, though a mangled Abyssinian slave is appointed your Amir, provided he executes (the Ordinance of) the Book of Allah among you.

O? people! No Prophet would be raised after me and no new Ummah (would be formed) after you.

Verily I have left amongst you that which will never lead you astray, the Book of Allah, which if you hold fast you shall never go astray.

And beware of transgressing the limits set in the matters of religion, for it is transgression of (the proper bounds of) religion that brought destruction to many people before you.

Verily, the satan is disappointed at ever being worshipped in this land of yours, but he will be pleased by obedience in anything (short of worship that is) in matters you may be disposed to think insignificant, so beware of him in your matters of religion.

Behold! Worship your Lord; offer prayers five times a day; observe fast in the month of Ramadhaan; pay readily the Zakat (poor due) on your property; and perform pilgrimage to the House of God and obey your rulers and you will be admitted to the Paradise of your Lord.

Let him that is present, convey it unto him who is absent, for many people to whom the message is conveyed may be more mindful of it than the audience.

And if you were asked about me, what would you say?”

They answered, “We bear witness that you have conveyed the trust (of religion) and discharged your ministry of Prophethood and looked to our welfare.”

Thereupon Allah?s Messenger (may peace be upon him) lifted his forefinger towards the sky and then pointing towards people said,

“O? Lord: Bear Thou witness unto it.

“All praise is due to Allah, so we praise Him, and seek His pardon and we turn to Him. We seek refuge with Allah from the evils of ourselves and from the evil consequences of our deeds.
