Bukhari 2707



Allah's Messenger

(peace be upon him) said: “There is a Sadaqa to be given for every joint of the human body; and for every day on which the sun rises there is a reward of a Sadaqa (i.e. charitable gift) for the one who establishes justice among people.” – Bukhari 2707

 

The believer’s soul is kept in suspension due to his debts until it is paid for him

 The repayment of debts is strongly emphasized as a part of true faith. Aboo Hurayrah related that the Prophet (peace be upon him) said, “The believer’s soul is kept in suspension due to his debts until it is paid for him.” [Ibn Maajah]



"The two rak'ah (Sunnah) of Fajar are better than this world and everything in it"


 The Prophet [PBUH] said:

"The two rak'ah (Sunnah) of  Fajar are better than this world and everything in it"

The Prophet [PBUH]


 

If you can’t get married, fast instead of falling prey to behavior that displeases Allah. Fasting is an act that shows control over one’s physical desires. So people who fast have better self control overall.

Prophet Muhammad [PBUH]

Signs That You Love the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH)


  •  Signs That You Love the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH)


As Muslims, we are commanded to love the Messenger (salAllaahu ‘alayhi wasallam) and to follow in his path without religious deviations or innovations, in order to worship Allah (subhaanahu wa ta’aala) in the way that He commanded. Sometimes, unfortunately, our claims of love fall short, and thus there are signs that we can reflect on in order to analyze how much love we truly have for the greatest human being to walk this earth, peace and blessings be upon him.


  • Following are at least six signs that you love Prophet Muhammad (salAllaahu ‘alayhi wasallam):


1. You follow the message that he conveyed (the Qur’an)

This entails reciting, studying, and implementing the rulings of the Creator that were revealed through His Messenger. Belief in the divine scripture is just one part of faith; implementing its rulings in your life is another.


  • Action item: study the Qur’an on a daily basis. Recite, understand, implement, and memorize what you can. 


2. You love to follow the Sunnah

Every individual will vary in their love of the Sunnah and thus their love of the Messenger (salAllaahu ‘alayhi wasallam). The more you love the Sunnah, the more you’ll try to implement it in your life. You’ll never hear the words “It’s just a sunnah” coming out of your mouth, primarily because you’ll do anything to follow his path. Instead, every time you learn about a sunnah, you’ll be eager to implement it in your life. When you learn that something contradicts the Sunnah, you tend to stay away from it lest you fall into religious innovation. You also ensure that what you’re doing on a daily basis is legitimate and has some basis in the Qur’an or Sunnah.


  • Action item: study the Sunnah from an authentic source and implement it into your life.


3. You study his Seerah and encourage others to do so


Every Muslim should study the biography of the Prophet (salAllaahu ‘alayhi wasallam); his compassion, his love, his dedication, his sincerity, his beauty, his exalted character, his concern for his ummah, and what he went through to convey this message to the rest of the world. The companions used to teach their children the Seerah from a young age. This is one of the greatest signs you love the Messenger (salAllaahu ‘alayhi wasallam) because you want to know more about him and his life, and oftentimes you’ll see those who love him study the seerah multiple times.


  • Action Item: Study the Seerah from a reputable, authentic source. You have so many resources in this day and age that there’s no excuse for not reading a summarized version of the Seerah or listening to a video series. Furthermore, encourage your family and friends to also study the seerah and share gems from your studies in order to encourage others. 


4. You ask Allah to send prayers upon him often


Saying “Allahumma sallee ‘ala Muhammad” in any of its appropriate variations is asking Allah to send peace and blessings and mercy upon the beloved Messenger, and every time you do it, Allah (swt) will send upon you 10 times the blessings and mercy in your life. Furthermore, every time you send salutations upon him, an angel appointed next to the Messenger (salAllaahu ‘alayhi wasallam) conveys your prayers to him. Finally, the more you send prayers upon him, the closer you’ll be to him on the Day of Resurrection and the more of his intercession you’ll have on that severe day.


  • Action Item: Try to at least begin the basic habit of sending 10 prayers upon him in the morning and 10 in the evening and work your way up from there throughout the day and night, especially every time you remember him or when his name is mentioned, (salAllahu ‘alayhi wasallam).


5. You love the things he loved and the people he loved

This includes acts of worship (fasting Mondays and Thursdays or praying at night) and countless sunnan (such as using the miswak) as well as the people he loved and those who loved him, such as Abu Bakr, Umar, Uthman, Ali, his entire family, and the companions in general. This is a litmus test for many who claim to love the Messenger but believe in fabrications against his noble companions.

6. You frequently remember his life and wish to be with him


When you love someone, you find yourself thinking about them often. The more you love the Messenger of Allah (salAllaahu ‘alayhi wasallam), the more you’ll refer back to his life and the more you’ll pray that Allah grants you reunion with him in the Hereafter, in the highest levels of Paradise.


  • O Allah, grant us true and complete love for your Messenger and his Sunnah and allow us to be upon his path in this life and to rejoice with him in the next life.
  • Ameen!

Take care of the prayer.

The last words of the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH)   when leaving this world were   "The Prayer.The Prayer.Take care of the prayer."

The last words of the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) 
when leaving this world were 
"The Prayer.The Prayer.Take care of the prayer."

“And follow up a bad deed with a good deed and it will wipe it out.”

The Prophet said: “And follow up a bad deed with a good deed and it  will wipe it out.” This part of the hadith illustrates that even those with taqwa, or fear of Allah (swt) may still slip and make mistakes. No one is perfect, but those who are from the mutaqeen or people of taqwa, do not persist in their sins. When they remember Allah (swt) they immediately perform a good deed to outweigh the negative effects of a bad one. Allah (swt) speaks of these people in the Qur’an: “And be quick in the race for forgiveness from Your Lord and for Paradise as wide as the heavens and the earth, prepared for the mutaqeen, Those who spend [for Allah’s cause] in prosperity and in adversity, who repress anger, and who pardon men. Verily, Allah loves the doers of good. And for those who, when they have committed some evil or wronged themselves, remember Allah and ask forgiveness for their sins – and who can forgive sins except Allah – and who do not persist in what [wrong] they have done, while they know. For such, the reward is forgiveness from their Lord, and Gardens with rivers flowing amidst them, wherein they shall abide forever. How excellent is this reward for the doers [of taqwa].” (Q. 3:133-136).  SubhanAllah, may Allah make us of the muttaqeen, Aameen.

Justice and Dealing with Equity

Patience: وَٱللَّهُ يُحِبُّ ٱلصَّـٰبِرِينَ “And Allah loves as-Sâbirun (the patient).” (Surah Imran 3:146) Justice and Dealing with Equity: يَـٰٓأَيُّہَا ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُواْ كُونُواْ قَوَّٲمِينَ لِلَّهِ شُہَدَآءَ بِٱلۡقِسۡطِ‌ۖ وَلَا يَجۡرِمَنَّڪُمۡ شَنَـَٔانُ قَوۡمٍ عَلَىٰٓ أَلَّا تَعۡدِلُواْ‌ۚ ٱعۡدِلُواْ هُوَ أَقۡرَبُ لِلتَّقۡوَىٰ‌ۖ وَٱتَّقُواْ ٱللَّهَ‌ۚ إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ خَبِيرُۢ بِمَا تَعۡمَلُونَ “O ye who believe! Be steadfast witnesses for Allah in equity, and let not hatred of any people seduce you that ye deal not justly. Deal justly, that is nearer to your duty. Observe your duty to Allah. Lo! Allah is informed of what ye do.” (Surah Maeda 5:8). Good-doing: إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ يُحِبُّ ٱلۡمُحۡسِنِينَ “Truly, Allah loves Al-Muhsinun (the good-doers).” (Surah Baqarah 2:195) Purification: وَٱللَّهُ يُحِبُّ ٱلۡمُطَّهِّرِينَ “And Allah loves those who make themselves clean and pure.” (Surah Tawbah 9:108). Humility of the Rich: Sa’d Ibn Abi Waqqas (RA) said: Allah’s Messenger (SAW ) said: “Allah loves the believer who is pious and rich, but does not show off.” (Muslim) Belief and Work: Al-Tabarâni narrated: Allah’s Messenger (SAW ) said: “Allah loves the slave who believes and acquires a halaal career (or work).” A sense of Honour: Al-Tirmidhi narrated: Allah’s Messenger (SAW ) said: “Allah loves from amongst his slaves, the one who has a sense of zeal or honour.” Love for the Sake of Allah: Al-Tabarâni, Ibn Ya’lâ, Ibn Hibban and Al-Hakim narrated: Allah’s Messenger (SAW ) said: “If two individuals love each other for the sake of Allah, the stronger in love to his brother will be more loved by Allah.” Continuous Performance of Righteous Deeds: Allah’s Messenger (SAW) said: “The best loved deeds to Allah are the ones that are continuous even if they are not very many.” (Bukhari and Muslim). Good Manners and Conduct: Al-Tirmidhi narrated: Allah’s Messenger (SAW) said: “The best loved by me and the nearest to me on the seats on the Day of Resurrection are those who have the best manners and conduct amongst you, who are intimate, are on good terms with others and are humble, and the most hated by me and who will be on the furthest seats from me are those who are talkative and arrogant.”  We Muslims should also love one another and wish the best for one another. Allah’s Messenger (SAW) said: “One will not be a true believer unless he loves for his brother what be loves for himself.” (Bukhari). May Allah keep guiding us all and aid us to be good practising Muslims. Aameen.

We Muslims should also love one another and wish the best for one another. Allah’s Messenger (SAW) said: “One will not be a true believer unless he loves for his brother what be loves for himself.” (Bukhari). May Allah keep guiding us all and aid us to be good practising Muslims. Aameen.

May Allah aid our efforts to be patient in any situation we find ourselves.

 Emulating the attributes of Allah.  Bismillaahir Rahmaanir Raheem.   If a person loves an attribute of Allah, then this will help him to reach Him. Allah is as-Sabur, THE PATIENT, and there is none that is more patient and forbearing than Him. It was reported that Allah revealed to Daawuud (Alaihi salaam), “ Have my attributes, as one of My attributes is that I am Sabur (patient).” Allah loves His attributes and characteristics, and He loves to see the effects of His attributes on His slaves. As He is beautiful, so He loves beauty; as He is all-forgiving, He loves forgiveness; as He is generous, He loves generosity; as He is all-knowing, HE loves people of knowledge; as He is strong and powerful, so a strong believer is more beloved to Him than a weaker one; as He is Sabur (patient), so he loves those who have patience; as He is shakur (grateful), so He loves those who give thanks. As He loves those who have His characteristics, so He is with them, and this is a special and unique type of companionship.  Sickness is evil but if we remain patient it is something good because our sins are being wiped. Abu Huraira related that the Prophet (Pbuh) said, ‘for any trouble, illness, worry, grief hurt, or sorrow which afflicts a Muslim, even the prick of a thorn, Allah removes in its stead some of his (minor) sins”(Bukhari, Muslim) So if this person remains patient then its something good but if he is not patient then it becomes evil. May Allah aid our efforts to be patient in any situation we find ourselves. Aameen.

Time for Salaah!

My respectable brothers and sisters in Islam, Asr prayer is fast approaching, so let get ourselves prepare with joy, cleanliness and humility to prostrate ourselves for Almighty Allah.   In Islam, after performing the obligatory deeds, one of the best ways of drawing closer to Allah is by performing voluntary good deeds. So therefore (before) performing Asr prayer, one can perform 4 sunnah rakats (seperately).    However, this does not add up to the 12 main Sunnah prayers (which in arabic is called Rawatib) as the Prophet (pbuh) mentioned in a hadith, "Whoever prays optionally twelve rakats every one day and night, Allah will reward him by an established dwelling in the paradise" (Rep by Bukhari).   So one can leave the Sunnah prayers of Asr or prays it if one wants more rewards. But (after) Asr (there is definitely no) Sunnah Prayer to be performed for Asr.  Narrated Ibn `Umar:  Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) said, "Whoever misses the `Asr prayer (intentionally) then it is as if he lost his family and property."   ●[Sahih al-Bukhari ]  May Allah help us to perform our Salaah well and on time.

May Allah help us to perform our Salaah well and on time.

Abu Hurairah (RadhiAllah-hu ‘anhu) reported: The Prophet Muhammad (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) said: “It is also charity to utter a good word.”

Regarding Sadaqah     If the person giving Sadaqah knows that the money he is donating will reach Allah first and then the poor person, he will truly gain much more joy in giving rather than taking   Do you know the benefits of Sadaqah?  Pay particular attention to 17,18,19.   So listen,   1. Sadaqah is one of the doors from jannah  2. Sadaqah is the most virtuous action in all good actions, and the best form of Sadaqah is to feed others  3. Sadaqah will be a shade on the day of judgement and it will save a person from the fire  4. Sadaqah makes the anger of Allah cool and it also cools the heat in the grave  5. The best and most beneficial gift for a deceased person is Sadaqah and Allah continues to increase the reward of Sadaqah  6. Sadaqah is a way to purify the soul and increases good deeds  7. Sadaqah will be a cause of happiness on the day of judgment on the face of the giver  8. Sadaqah is a source of peace from the dangers of the day of judgement and it doesn't let you grieve the past  9. Sadaqah is a means of sins being forgiven and also expiates past sins  10. Sadaqah is glad tidings of a good death and is also a cause for the duas of the angels  11.

Glory be to You! Verily, I have been among the wrongdoers’ (Quran 21:87) – no Muslim person says it, for any situation whatsoever, except that Allah Most High answers his call.” [Tirmidhi]   La ilaha illa Anta, Subhanaka, inni kuntu mina z-zalimin.  لا إلهَ إلا أنتَ سُبْحَانَكَ إِنِّي كُنْتُ مِنَ الظّالِمِيْنَ  2- “O Allah! There is no ease except that which You make easy, and indeed You, when You want, make difficulties easy.” [Sahih Ibn Hibban]  Allahumma la sahla illa maa ja’altahu sahlan, wa Anta taj’alu l-hazna idha shi’ta sahla.     اللّهُمَّ لا سَهْلَ إلا ما جَعَلْتَهُ سَهْلا وَأنتَ تَجْعَلُ الحَزْنَ إذا شِئْتَ سَهْلا  3- The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) would say when in distress, “There is no deity but Allah, the Knowing, the Clement. There is no deity but Allah, Lord of the Magnificent Throne. There is no deity but Allah, Lord of the heavens and Lord of the earth and Lord of the Noble Throne.” [Sahih Bukhari]La ilaha illa Allahu l-Alimu l-Halim. La ilaha illa Allahu Rabbu l-Arshi l-Azim. La ilaha illa Allahu Rabbu s-samawati wa Rabbu l-ardi wa Rabbu l-Arshi l-Karim.  لا إلهَ إلا اللهُ العَليمُ الحَليم لا إلهَ إلا اللهُ ربُّ العَرْشِ العَظِيْم لا إلهَ إلا اللهُ ربُّ السَّمَاوَاتِ  وَرَبُّ الأَرْضِ ربُّ العَرْشِ الكَرِيْم  4- When the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) would be afflicted with a stressful trial, he would say, “O Living and Eternal Maintainer! By Your mercy I seek help!” [Sunan Tirmidhi]  Ya Hayyu Ya Qayyum! Bi rahmatika astagheeth!  يَا حَيُّ يَا قَيُّوْمُ بِرَحْمَتِكَ أَسْتَغِيْث  And Allah knows best. wassalam
