The Family of Fatimah (سلام اللہ عليھا) is the Ahl-ul-bait (People of the House)Hadith 1.عن صفية بنت شيبة، قالت: قالت عائشة رضي الله عنها: خرج النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم غداة وعليه مرط مرحلمن شعر أسود. فجاء الحسن بن علي فأدخله، ثم جاء الحسين فدخل معه ثم جاءت فاطمة رضي الله عنها فأدخلها، ثمجاء علي فأدخله، ثم قال: (إِنَّمَا يُرِيدُ اللَّهُ لِيُذْهِبَ عَنكُمُ الرِّجْسَ أَهْلَ الْبَيْتِ وَيُطَهِّرَكُمْ تَطْهِيرًاSafiyyahthe daughter of Shaybah narrates that Ayeshah (رضي الله عنها) said,“The Holy Prophet came out one morning wearing a cloak which hadcamel saddles woven on to it with black wool. Then Hasan bin Ali came and the Holy Prophet took him under the cloak, then Husain came and entered beneath it with the Holy Prophet . Then Fatimah (سلام اللہ علیھا) came and the Holy Prophet took her under the cloak. Next Ali(كرم الله وجهه) came and the Holy Prophet also included him beneath it. Then the HolyProphet Muhammad recited the verse, ‘Allah only desires to keepaway (all kinds of) impurity from you, O ‘people of the house!’ (theProphet’s family) and to totally purify you,’ (al-Ahzab 33:33).”References►Muslim, as-Sahih (4:1883#2424)►Ibn Abi Shaybah, al-Musannaf (6:370#36102)►Ahmad bin Hambal, Fadail-us-sahabah (2:672#1149)►Ibn Rahawayh, al-Musnad (3:678#1271)►Hakim, al-Mustadrak (3:159#4705)►Bayhaqi, as-Sunan-ul-kubra (2:149)►Tabari, Jami-ul-bayan fi tafsir al-Quran (22:6,7)►Baghawi, Maalim-ut-tanzil (3:529)►Ibn Kathir, Tafsir-ul-Quran al-azim (3:485)►Suyuti, ad-Durr-ul-manthur fit-tafsir-bil-mathur (6:605)

Childhood of Imam Hassan And Hussain Radi Allahu anhu
Hazrat Abu Hurairah Radi Allahu anhu narrates that once they were with walking with RasoolAllah Salla Allahu ta'ala 'alayhi wa Sallam when he heard Imam Hasan Radi Allahu anhu and Imam Hussain Radi Allahu anhu crying. Upon enquiring the reason, Hazrat Fatima Radi Allahu anhareplied that they are crying due to thirst. RasoolAllah Salla Allahu ta'ala 'alayhi wa Sallam asked all those present if they had any water but none had any. He then asked Hazrat Fatima Radi Allahu anhato give one of the children to him: He Salla Allahu ta'ala 'alayhi wa Sallam took the child and cuddled him and gave his blessed tongue into the child’s mouth. The child sucked it till he was satisfied and stopped crying. He Salla Allahu ta'ala 'alayhi wa Sallamthen did the same with the other child till he too was satisfied and stopped crying.
Don't Be Sad - Allah Is There
A man entered the masjid when it was not the time for Prayer, and he found a ten-year-old boy praying with proper focus and humility. He waited until the boy had finished praying, then he greeted him, and said, "Whose son are you?" The boy lowered his head and a tear rolled down his cheek, then he raised his head, and said, "O uncle, I am an orphan who has no father or mother." The man felt sorry for him, and said, "Would you like to be my son?" The boy said, "If I get hungry will you feed me?" The man said, "Yes." The boy said, "If I am naked will you clothe me?" The man said, "Yes." The boy said, "If I fall ill will you cure me?" "I am not able to do that, my son." The boy said, "If I die will you bring me back to life?" The man said, "I am not able to do that."The boy said, "Then, leave me uncle, to the One who created me, for He will guide me, and He is the One who gives me food and drink. If I fall sick He heals me, and He is the One who, I hope, will forgive me on the Day of Judgment."The man fell silent and went on his way, saying, "I believe in Allah. Whoever puts his trust in Allah, Allah will suffice him."No matter how overwhelmed you are by grief and despair, you will not be able to bring back any past events. Remember that Allah's mercy embraces all things. Remember Almighty Allah who says:(Verily, in the remembrance of Allah do hearts find rest.) (Ar-Ra`d 13:28)

RABI-UL-AWWAL
This month is most joyous and contains lots of Barakat. It is a month of celebration as our Prophet Muhammad (sallal laahu alaihi wasallam) was born on the 12th of this month. It is of great Sawaab to fast and to celebrate the birth-day of our Prophet Muhammad (sallal laahu alaihi wasallam). The hosting of Meelad or Moulood functions or partaking in it brings about peace and lots of Barakat in the house for the whole year. It is recommended to have Ghusal, wear new clothes, apply attar and celebrate this night by staying up and reciting Naaths and reading Duroods in abundance.--------------------
SIGNIFICANT DAYS IN ISLAM
MUHARRAM: The month of Muharram is a very auspicious month especially the Day of Ashura, which is on the 10th of Muharram (on a Friday). On this day: Hadrat Nooh (alaihis salaam) alighted from his Ark. Hadrat Moosa (alaihis salaam) was victorious over FiraunThe Martyrdom of Imaam Husain (radi Allahu anhu) occurred on this day in Karbala, andQiyaamat will also occur on this day. Just as the reward for good deeds are awarded abundantly on this day, the Azaab (punishment) for your sins committed on this day will be greater. The practices of the procession of Tazia, Matam, following of Jaloos, fire tramping, etc. are not allowed as these are the acts of the followers of Yazid. These acts were not done by the Ahle Bait and are against the teachings of Islam. However, it is acceptable if one makes a real copy of the dome of Karbala as remembrance of Hadrat Imam Husain (radi Allahu anhu), to make Ziarat, to pay their respects and show love and devotion. It is also of great Sawaab to have Majlis, Quran Khwaani and Fateha in remembrance of the Ahle Bait. It is very rewarding to fast on the 9th and 10th of Muharram. It is of Barakat to spend on your family and cook nice food on the 10th. The Barakat remains for the whole year on the crops that have been cooked on this day, therefore it is good to cook Kichra or Haleem as it contains many ingredients, grains and crops. Fateha should be made on these and the Sawaab sent to Imam Husain (radi Allahu anhu) and the rest of the Shuhada-e-Karbala.
TRADING
Trading is the occupation of our Ambiya and has many advantages. It is mentioned in a Hadith Shareef that a trader is Marzooq (one who has been given sustenance by Almighty Allah) and one who stores goods and does not sell it in time of need but waits for the prices to rise and then sells it is Mal’oon (cursed). It is also mentioned that on the Day of Qiyamat a truthful and honest trader will be among the Martyrs. The world depends on commerce and trading. The towns, markets, etc. are livened because of trading. The materials required for construction of a Mosque, Musallas, Kaffan, papers needed for publishing of Islamic books, etc. are all bought from a trader. Thus, trading is a very important aspect of our lives. When one is in the business of trading, one should be friendly, honest and truthful at all times. Customers should be able to trust him. He should know ways of attracting customers. Nothing in this world is achieved easily. One has to make every effort and work hard. Trading requires one to be very hardworking, efficient consistent and clever. One cannot achieve success through laziness or from being idle. To mislead or cause confusion in order to attract customers is not the Islamic way of trading.
IMPERMISSIBLE OCCUPATIONS:-
The occupations of singing, dancing, music, photography, selling of liquor, gambling, taking of interest and being a false witness are all Haraam. Previously, it was even Makrooh to accept salary for Imaamat or for any work done for the Mosque , but when the Ulema of the earlier times realised that the Mosques will then be deserted if it was allowed. Another reason for it not being allowed was to attract Muslims to the Mosque and increase the spread of knowledge of our Deen.Any occupation that requires a person to have no conscience, be insensitive and ruthless, a person that washes dead bodies before burial (as this requires a totally honest person, one who does not disclose or mocks and secrets or defects found during the Ghusal of the dead body because it is completely private matter which he or she should keep to themselves), being an attorney or a broker is Makrooh, but in time of need the latter two is acceptable on the condition that he is honest and truthful at all times.
GOOD OCCUPATIONS
The best occupation is Jihad, then trading and then farming. Any occupation that is beneficial for this world and the Hereafter is recommended. Weaving of clothes and tailoring is good as it is used to cover one’s body. Making things that gives light is also good as it’s a necessity. An occupation of building and construction is just as important as it gives people a roof over their head. Making of things that are not necessary in life has not much value in Islam. Almighty Allah has provided us with hands and feet for a purpose and we should be thankful and use it for constructive work. To sit idle is a crime and do to sinful work or Haraam occupation is even worst. In any occupation one should not go against the principles or teachings of Islam.

THE OCCUPATIONS OF THE AMBIYAS
All the Prophets that came, engaged themselves in some kind of work. Hadrat Adam (alaihis salaam) weaved clothes and later started farming, Hadrat Nooh (alahis salaam) occupied himself with carpentry, Hadrat Idrees (alaihis salaam) did tailoring, Hadrat Hud (alaihis salaam) and Hadrat Saleh (alaihis salaam) were traders, Hadrat Ibrahim (alaihis salaam) did farming as a hobby, Hadrat Shuaib (alaihis salaam) ran a dairy farm, Hadrat Loot (alaihis salaam) was also a farmer, Hadrat Moosa (alaihis salaam) took goats for grazing for years. Although Hadrat Sulaiman (alaihis salaam) was a king he made made fans out of leaves with his hands. As a little boy Prophet Prophet Muhammad (sallal laahu laihi wasallam) was a shepherd (took the goats for grazing) and later was a trader for Hadrat Khatija (radi Allahu anha). Therefore, any form of Halaal earning is Sunnat-e-Ambiya and to degrade it is foolish.
BENEFITS OF WORK
It is Sunnat-e-Paigambar (Sunnat of the Prophets) to earn a Halaal living.
By you earning a living, there is an increase in wealth, which can be used for Sadaqah, Khairat, Haj, Zakaat, and the building of mosques and Islamic Institutes. Hadrat Uthman (radi Allahu anhu) bought Jannat with the aid of his wealth. When one is occupied with work, he is saved from many disasters and sins such as stealing, gossiping, getting into fights and unnecessary arguments and other mischief which happens when one is idle.
When working, one gets accustomed to hard work and does not have pride.
When earning, one lives a life of peace unlike in poverty which brings about lots of pain and misery.
Whosoever leaves home in order to earn money, the Angels that write his deeds make Du’a, asking Almighty Allah to make Barakat in his earnings, and all the Angels say Aameen to this Du’a.

IMPORTANCE OF SUITABLE OCCUPATIONS
The only reason that we are saved from the Azaab (punishment) of Almighty Allah and are still alive today is because we are from the Ummat of Prophet Muhammad (sallal laahu laihi wasallam).
We are committing more sins than the previously dead tribes. The tribe of Nabi Shuaib (alaihis salaam) was guilty of cheating by weighing less during business. The tribe of Loot (alaihis salaam) was guilty of forbidden acts, particularly adultery and fornication. But we are the worst tribe of all as we left our ancestors far behind and crossed all the limits in bad behavior and living a life of deceit. It is about time that we as Muslims consider this matter seriously and think of the consequences.
Prophet Muhammad (sallal laahu laihi wasallam) has stated that the best food is that which comes from one’s hard earned money. It is stated in Bukhari that Nabi Dawood (alaihis salaam) also ate from his hard earned money.
Prophet Muhammad (sallal laahu laihi wasallam) has stated that the most scented thing comes from your earnings and your children are your earnings, therefore parents can live on their children’s earning.
Prophet Muhammad (sallal laahu laihi wasallam) said that there will come a time when nothing else besides your money will be of help.
Prophet Muhammad (sallal laahu laihi wasallam) has said that Halaal earning is Fardh after Fardh, meaning after Namaaz and Roza a Halaal profession is Fardh.
Just as Almighty Allah commanded His Messengers, he has ordered the same for the Muslims. He had ordered the Messengers: “O Paigambars, eat from your Halaal earnings and perform good, pious deeds.”
And he ordered the Muslims: “O Muslims, eat Halaal things that is given by us.”
Many people make Du’as and ask Almighty Allah to grant their wishes. But, how can their Du’as be fulfilled if the clothes that they wear and the food that they eat comes from Haraam earnings.
It is stated by Prophet Muhammad (sallal laahu laihi wasallam) that besides three people, it is not Ja’iz for anyone to ask for anything – Firstly, one who has to pay his debts, second are those whose goods are destroyed by natural causes, and thirdly, those that have been starving.

FUNERALS
Death can come to anyone at anytime and at any place. Therefore, it is very important for every Muslim to know the rules and procedures regarding Ghusal, Kaffan and the burial.
To talk of worldly matters in the funeral house is wrong and people should rather engage themselves in Tilaawat (recitation) of the Holy Quran, Zikr and the recitation of Yaseen Shareef.
Loud crying, beating of the chest or pulling of hair, etc. is prohibited in Islam. Mourning in silence and crying softly is acceptable.
Unnecessary delaying of the Mayyit to its final destination by waiting for people to arrive from afar is not permissible. The dead should be buried as soon as possible.
When the funeral procession is on it’s way to the Masjid, Durood and Kalima Tayyibah should be recited instead of indulging in worldly talks.
After the Janaza Namaaz it is Sunnat to read Fateha and send the Sawaab (reward) to the Marhoom (deceased) and make Du’a in abundance for the Marhoom.
After the burial, it is also good to give Azaan at the head-side as this lessens the Azaab (punishment) of the Qabar (grave) and makes it easy to answer the questions asked by Munkar and Nakeer.
It is also Sunnat to cook food and take the food to the bereaved family and feed them, instead of expecting them to feed everybody. This food should only be used to feed the bereaved family members and their relatives who have come from afar and not feed everybody present at the funeral house. If the family does wish to cook food, it should be for the poor and needy.

ISLAMIC ATTIRE:
In many professions, it is required that a person dresses in a certain manner or has to wear a uniform to identify his profession. If these rules are not followed, then one is dismissed. Similarly, in Islam, different codes of dressing have been set aside for Muslims so that they can be recognized among the Kufaars. If this dress code is not followed, then we deserve to be punished as well.
As Muslims everything about us from our character to the dressing should serve as an example to people. We should be proud of showing that we are Muslims by adhering to the Islamic way of dressing and not following the west blindly and trying to look like them.
It is Fardh on a male to keep the area between his navel and knees covered at all times. It is Sunnat for a male to wear a full-sleeved Kurta. A Muslim male is recognized by a Topi (hat).
If one is wearing a Turban, a Topi should be worn under it as well.
The keeping of a beard is Waajib. The moustache should no be completely shaved off but kept well trimmed so that it does not come on the upper lip.
It is also Sunnat to shave underarms and the area below the navel.
The nails should be neatly trimmed as well. This should be done at least once a week but never left for longer then 40 days.
Men have been commanded to restrain their gaze and avoid looking at women intentionally.
Women should wear clothing that provide comfort and not restrict movements, such as tight- fitting clothes, see through clothes and clothing that attract attention should be avoided completely. Women should also not reveal their adornment in public or in front of any Non-Mahram (one whom Shari’ah allows them to marry).
A women’s clothing must be such that it covers her from head to toes (with exception of her face and palms in Namaaz).
Shari’ah also commands that women should not leave their homes without necessity. When traveling, it is very important that a woman be accompanied by a Mahram (one whom Shari’ah does not allow them to marry.
To preserve her modesty and honour it is necessary that she adopt the Islamic way of dressing.
For a Muslim it is Haraam to wear anything that represents the Kufaars.
Females should not cut the hair to resemble males.

NIKAH OR WEDDING
The qualities that one should look for in a marriage partner are piety and God-fearing.
Neither the boy nor the girl should be forced into a marriage.
The bride’s mother’s consent is just as important.
According to the Shari’ah it is necessary that when permission is being sought from the bride for marriage that the name of the bridegroom, his father’s name and the amount of Maher (dowry) be mentioned. Nikah only takes place when the bride accepts this.
Some excuse should be made for the boy to see the girl without the girl’s knowledge.
The Quran Shareef states: "The affairs according to the consultation amongst them." The elders of both parties should have a discussion concerning the forthcoming union so that in the event of a misunderstanding between the couple after marriage, their elders can help in resolving the matter.
An engagement is not necessary. The purpose of an engagement is to confirm or promise a Nikah, so if in some cases it has to take place, it should be done without extravagance.
When setting the date for a wedding it is better that it is set on a Monday or Friday since these days are of Barakat.
The tradition of Haldi (putting Tumeric powder) and of Mehendi (putting Henna powder) is also unnecessary and should be stopped, as this has no basis in our religion. Everything besides the performing of the Nikah itself has no validity in Islam.
The wedding of Bibi Fathima Zahra (radi Allahu anha) should be used as a guideline. The Prophet Muhammad (sallal laahu alaihi wasallam) could have had an elaborate wedding for his dearest daughter but he made it a simple affair. He knew that the Ummah would use this wedding as an example. Therefore, the custom of songs, dancing, mixing of sexes and many other western practices should be stopped as these are all against the teachings of Islam.
Unnecessary financial expenses should be avoided so that the rich and the poor may have similar weddings.
It is not necessary to provide a meal during the wedding as this was not done during the wedding of Bibi Fathima Zahra (radi Allahu anha). Yes, it is Sunnat to distribute dates.
It is preferable to have the Nikah at the Masjid as this is Mustahab. The bride’s residence as a venue for the Nikah is also acceptable.
A man once came to Hadrat Imaam Mohammed (radi Allahu anhu) and related that he had promised to give his daughter everything in this world as dowry and now he finds this task impossible, as even a king cannot accomplish this. Hadrat Imaam Mohammed (radi Allahu anhu) advised him to give the Quran Shareef in dowry as everything is contained in the Holy Quran.
It is Sunnat for the bridegroom to have a Walima the day after the wedding. This should be done in accordance with his means. A loan should not be taken to have a Walima. The poor and the needy should be invited to the Walima. It is stated in a Hadith that the most blessed Nikah is the one in which the least expenses are involved and is simple.
After the marriage has taken place, the couple should give time to adjust and be polite, kind and understanding to each other. A husband should provide as best maintenance as he can and also show love, affection, protection, comfort and happiness. He should encourage his wife to follow the Islamic way of life. He should not speak ill of her parents or relatives and should allow her to visit families occasionally.
In the same token a wife should also be kind to his relatives especially his parents and treat them with respect. A wife should manage the household affairs wisely.
The wife is given the right of Maher, which can be claimed from her husband at the time of marriage. The Maher should be set with the consideration of the husband’s financial status and the wife’s living standards, her qualities and her family background. The Maher is a personal property of the wife and nobody can claim a share in it without her consent. Greed for excessive dowry should be avoided.
In case of any disagreements, a husband should not be hasty in giving Talaaq as in most cases the act is immensely regretted bringing about a lot of pain and misery. In most cases of differences or problems, it is the man that walks out, gets married again and lives a happy life and it is the wife who is left helpless, as the man refuses to give Talaaq.
Therefore, during Nikah an affidavit should be drawn up by the bridegroom saying that if he goes missing or remarries while still married to his wife, or is cruel, or unfair towards her, or even does not perform his rightful duties towards his wife, etc. then the wife has the right to take Talaaq. This should be done after making necessary affirmation of Nikah. The Qazi (Muslim Judge) should make negotiations from the man’s side and the women must accept by laying her conditions, that in case of so and so, etc. she should have the right to take Talaaq and be free of her husband. Insha-Allah, the husband will not ill-treat his wife and he will be just and fair to her safeguarding her from misery. According to Shari’ah there is no objection to this kind of solution.
A wife should not be forced to live or to perform any services for her in-laws as Islam offers her the right to choose. If she chooses to do so as a favour to her husband, she will be rewarded.
It has been stated by the Prophet Muhammad (sallal laahu alaihi wasallam) that if it was allowed to make Sajdah (prostration) to anyone after Almighty Allah, he would order the women to make Sajdah to their husbands, and on the husbands, remember that you have four fathers in this world: one is your biological father, second is your father-in-law, third is your Ustaad (teacher) and fourth is your Peer (spiritual guide). If you speak ill of your father-in- law, know that you have spoken against your father as well.
A successful man is one whose wife and children are happy and content with him. The Prophet Muhammad (sallal laahu alaihi wasallam) has declared: "Fear Allah regarding women. Verily, you have married them with the trust of Allah, they have rights over you in respect of their food, clothing and lodging." (Bukhari)
The Prophet Muhammad (sallal laahu alaihi wasallam) has also said: "The most perfect of the believers is he who is the best of them in conduct, and the best of you are those who are the best to their wives." (Tirmidhi)
Women enjoy a very high status of respect and honor in an Islamic Society. As a wife she is the queen and mistress of the house. She manages the house and brings up and trains the children. She enjoys full and complete social, religious, cultural, legal and economic rights. She has the rights in her father’s and husband’s properties.
Neither the boy nor the girl should be forced into a marriage.
The bride’s mother’s consent is just as important.

In the same token a wife should also be kind to his relatives especially his parents and treat them with respect. A wife should manage the household affairs wisely.
The wife is given the right of Maher, which can be claimed from her husband at the time of marriage. The Maher should be set with the consideration of the husband’s financial status and the wife’s living standards, her qualities and her family background. The Maher is a personal property of the wife and nobody can claim a share in it without her consent. Greed for excessive dowry should be avoided.
In case of any disagreements, a husband should not be hasty in giving Talaaq as in most cases the act is immensely regretted bringing about a lot of pain and misery. In most cases of differences or problems, it is the man that walks out, gets married again and lives a happy life and it is the wife who is left helpless, as the man refuses to give Talaaq.
Therefore, during Nikah an affidavit should be drawn up by the bridegroom saying that if he goes missing or remarries while still married to his wife, or is cruel, or unfair towards her, or even does not perform his rightful duties towards his wife, etc. then the wife has the right to take Talaaq. This should be done after making necessary affirmation of Nikah. The Qazi (Muslim Judge) should make negotiations from the man’s side and the women must accept by laying her conditions, that in case of so and so, etc. she should have the right to take Talaaq and be free of her husband. Insha-Allah, the husband will not ill-treat his wife and he will be just and fair to her safeguarding her from misery. According to Shari’ah there is no objection to this kind of solution.
A wife should not be forced to live or to perform any services for her in-laws as Islam offers her the right to choose. If she chooses to do so as a favour to her husband, she will be rewarded.
It has been stated by the Prophet Muhammad (sallal laahu alaihi wasallam) that if it was allowed to make Sajdah (prostration) to anyone after Almighty Allah, he would order the women to make Sajdah to their husbands, and on the husbands, remember that you have four fathers in this world: one is your biological father, second is your father-in-law, third is your Ustaad (teacher) and fourth is your Peer (spiritual guide). If you speak ill of your father-in- law, know that you have spoken against your father as well.
A successful man is one whose wife and children are happy and content with him. The Prophet Muhammad (sallal laahu alaihi wasallam) has declared: "Fear Allah regarding women. Verily, you have married them with the trust of Allah, they have rights over you in respect of their food, clothing and lodging." (Bukhari)
The Prophet Muhammad (sallal laahu alaihi wasallam) has also said: "The most perfect of the believers is he who is the best of them in conduct, and the best of you are those who are the best to their wives." (Tirmidhi)
Women enjoy a very high status of respect and honor in an Islamic Society. As a wife she is the queen and mistress of the house. She manages the house and brings up and trains the children. She enjoys full and complete social, religious, cultural, legal and economic rights. She has the rights in her father’s and husband’s properties.
UPBRINGING OF CHILDREN:
A child should be weaned off breast milk at the age of two.
When the child is learning to speak, first teach him or her to say the name of Allah and teach the child Kalima Tayyibah at a later stage.
When making a child sleep, mothers should read Naaths or Qasida instead of singing songs or playing the radio.
Try to set a good example and practice what you preach as children have a habit of imitating what they see.
Read your Namaaz in their presence, recite Quran Shareef and take them to the Masjid with you.
Read stories of good pious people as children love listening to stories and can learn valuable lessons and form good habits from Hadith and such stories.
When children reach the age of 7 years, they should be ordered to perform Namaaz, learn the five Kalimas, Imaan-e-Mujmal and Imaan-e-Mufassil.
Send children to Madressa to learn Dua’s, to read the Quran Shareef and other Islamic Books and magazines.
Children should be taught to keep their body, clothes and surroundings pure and clean.
They should be given responsibilities as well as certain duties or tasks to perform in the house.
They must be taught to do their own work and should also be taught to make Salaams when entering the house or when meeting people. They should be taught the importance of respecting their elders.
Encourage a life of simplicity including simple dressing and eating habits.
It is advisable that at least one of the children should become Hafiz or an Aalim as it has been stated in a Hadith that three generations of one Hafiz and seven generations of one Aalim will be pardoned.
Instill good constructive hobbies in them, those that can be means for them to earn a Halaal Rozi (sustenance) at a later stage in their lives.
According to Islam, children must be educated in religious and worldly affairs. In this connection, there is also a famous Hadith of the Holy Prophet (sallal laahu alaihi wasallam) which says: "The acquisition of knowledge is incumbent on every Muslim man and woman." But the education of the females should be in accordance with her temperament and the immediate needs of society. She should be educated in such a manner as could make her a good Muslim, wife, mother, educator and an ideal citizen. Girls should be taught handicrafts, cooking, sewing, etc. It is very important that with any career one should gain Islamic knowledge and practice good Islamic way of life and values.
If a child is not given proper Islamic training and as a result adopts evil habits and commits sins, the sins thereof will be upon the parents.

AQEEQA AND CIRCUMCISION:
It is Sunnah to make Aqaaqa on the 7th day after the birth of a child, but if this is not possible, it should be done on the 15th or 21st day.
It is required to make Aqeeqa of two sheep for a boy and one sheep for a girl. The Aqeeqa meat should be divided into three parts: one part is to be given to the poor, one to friends and family and one part to be used in the house.
It is preferable that the bones should not be broken but be separated by the joints and buried after eating.
It is also better that the child be named by the 7th day from the time of birth. A good name, preferably one of the names of the Ambiya or of a Sahabi would be of Barakat. "Mohammed" is the best name and names such as this should never be mispronounced.
During Aqeeqa (7th day) the child’s hair can also be removed and the equivalent weight in Silver should be given in Sadaqah. Soaked Saffron can be rubbed on the child’s head after the hair is removed.
It is also permissible to make Aqeeqa of one cow for a few children, meaning 2/7 part of a cow for a boy and one part for a girl.
One should not borrow money to make Aqeeqa as it is not compulsory on a person that cannot afford it. Aqeeqa is not Fardh or Waajib but it is a Sunnat.
Circumcision is Sunnat for males between the ages of 7 to12 years. To circumcise after the age of 12 is prohibited. It is best to circumcise at an early age, even during Aqeeqa (7th day) as the child heals very quickly and does not suffer much. There is no need to have functions to celebrate the process of circumcision.

BIRTH OF A CHILD
It is generally found that people celebrate on the birth of a boy and show dissatisfaction when a girl is born. Islam disapproves of this kind of behavior. Children are great gift from Almighty Allah and we should be thankful and rejoice irrespective of the gender of the new-born child. The birth of a daughter is a blessing and the Prophet of Islam (sallal laahu alaihi wasallam) said that they would be a shield for the parents from Hell.
It is stated in the Quran Shareef, Surah an-Nahl, Verse 58: "… when news is brought to one of them of the birth of a female child his face darkens, and he is filled with inward grief". This was the belief of the Kufaar prior to Islam.
The woman that gives birth to a girl as her first child is indeed fortunate as the first born of the Prophet Muhammad (sallal laahu alaihi wasallam) was a girl.
On the birth of a child, gifts or alms should be distributed among the poor. Nafils should be read instead of having parties, playing music and distributing sweetmeats, which is totally unnecessary.
When a child is born, he or she should be given Ghusal as soon as possible and the Azaan must be read in the right ear and the Takbeer recited in the left ear. The after-birth (placenta, etc.) of the child should be buried.
It is also Sunnat that some pious person chews something sweet like dates (Khajoor) and place in the baby’s palate (Thaneek). It is established from the Ahadith that the Sahabas took new-borns to the Prophet Muhammad (sallal laahu alaihi wasallam) for Thaneek .
It is preferable to have a Meelad Shareef or Fateha on the birth of a baby. All other unnecessary customs, which has no basis in Islam, should be completely stopped.

HEART TREMBLING STORY
Sayyiduna Umar bin Abdul Aziz (Allah be pleased with him) once went to the graveyard with the funeral where he sat pondering.
Someone asked him, “Why are you sitting in astonishment next to this grave?”
He replied, “This grave called out to me and said, “Why don’t you ask me what I do to the people who come into me.”
I said to the grave, “Do tell me.”
The grave said, “When a person comes inside me, I rip off his shroud and then rip the persons body to pieces and eat his meat. Are you not going to ask me what I do with the joints?”
I said, “Do tell me.”
The grave said, “I separate the hands from the wrists, the knees from the calves and the calves from the feet”.”
After saying this, Sayyiduna Umar (Allah be pleased with him) began to cry. When he stopped crying, he said, “My dear brothers! We are to live in this world for a short period. Those who are sinners in this world and still hold high status will be disgraced in the Hereafter. Those who are envied in this world because of their wealth will be hated in the Hereafter due to their actions. The one who is young will grow old and the one who is alive will die. This world will deceive you because you are aware that it will soon depart. Where are those individuals who recited the Qur’an? Where are those who went to the house of Allah to perform Hajj? Where are those who fasted in Ramadan? What did the earth do with their bodies? What did the insects of the grave do to their flesh? What happened to their bones and joints? I swear in the name of Allah ! In the world, they slept on soft beds but now they have left behind their families, their wives have remarried, their children are suffering in the streets and their families have shared the inheritance amongst themselves. Amongst these are those fortunate ones who are successful in their graves and some are being punished. How sad! Oh foolish! Today at the time of your fathers, your sons or brothers death, you close their eyes, you bathe them, you wrap them in a shroud, you carry their body on your shoulder, you go along with the funeral procession and you bury them in the grave. (Remember! This will soon be happening to you.)
How I wish I knew which cheek would rot first (in the grave).” After saying this, Sayyiduna Umar (Allah be pleased with him) started crying until he fell unconscious. He departed from this world a week later. (Raud-ul-Faaiq, P138, Dar-ul-Kutubul Ilmiyyah Beirut)
Hujja-tul-Islam Imaam Muhammad Ghazali writes in Ihya-ul-Uloom, “At the time of his death, Sayyiduna Umar (Allah be pleased with him) was reciting,
Translation Kanzul-Imaan: This abode of the Hereafter - We make it for those who do not wish greatness in the land nor turmoil; and the Hereafter is only for the pious. (Sura Qasas: 83) (Ihya-ul-Uloom, V4, P510, Dar-ul-Kutubul Ilmiyyah Beirut)

ROYAL DEATH
Dear Islamic Brothers! This heart trembling incident of Sayyiduna Umar bin Abdul Aziz (Allah be pleased with him) is a big lesson for the intelligent. Listen to an incident of a royal death. Hujja-tul- Islam Sayyiduna Imaam Muhammad Ghazali (Allah be pleased with him) states in Ihya-ul-Uloom, “At the time of death of caliph Abdul Malik Marwan, he was asked, “How do you feel?” He replied, “I feel just like Allah says in the Holy Qur’an, Sura Al-An’aam, verse 95, Translation Kanzul-Imaan: And indeed you have now come to Us alone as We had created you at first, and you have left behind you all the wealth and riches We had bestowed upon you. (Ihya-ul-Uloom, V4, P510, Dar-ul-Kutubul Ilmiyyah Beirut)
WHAT DOES THE DECEASED SAY
Sayyiduna Umar Farooq-e-Azam (Allah be pleased with him) narrates that the Beloved of Allah (SalAllaho alaihe waahlayhi wasallam) said, “When the dead is being taken away by people on their shoulder, just after the third step, the dead person starts talking. His voice his heard by all those who Allah azzawajal wishes except for Jinn and humans. The dead person says, “Oh my brothers! Oh you people who are lifting my body! Don’t let this would deceive you like it deceived me, don’t let this world play you like it did with me. Whatever I have earned in this world, I have left behind for my successors. On the day of Judgement, Allah will take my account accordingly even though you are calling and crying for me”. (Shar-hus-Sudoor, P96, Dar-ul- Kutubul Ilmiyyah Beirut)
THE DECEASED AND THE GHASSAL
THE DECEASED AND THE GHASSAL
The well known scholar Sayyiduna Sufyan Thauri (Allah be pleased with him) narrates that when a person dies, he is aware of everything that is happening to him and whilst people are giving ghusl to his body, he says, “I beg you in the name of Allah, be gentle with my delicate body” and when he is at his funeral, he is told to listen to what the people he knew have to say about him. (Shar-hus-Sudoor, P95, Dar-ul-Kutubul Ilmiyyah Beirut)

Solution for Conflicts
Satan will never want anyone to read the following letter, but begin in the name of Allah عَزَّوَجَل and do not let Satan succeed
بسم الله الرحمٰن الرَّحيم ط This salaam is from Muhammad Ilyas Attar Qadiri Razavi عفي عنه to the Nigraan, members of the Majlis-e-Mushawarat and responsible brothers of the international non-political religious movement Dawat-e-Islami of the Qur’an and Sunnah in ……….(The city name of the European country has been removed.). It is a salaam that clears hatred and spreads love; reaching you after kissing the illuminated turban of our Dear Beloved Prophet صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْه وَاٰله وَسَلَّم and his blessed tresses and after wandering through the streets of Madina,
السلام عليکم ور حمة الله وبَرَ کاته
الحمد لله ربِّ العٰلمين عليٰ کلِّ حال
Excellence of Durood Shareef
The Master of Madina and the peace of our hearts صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْه وَاٰله وَسَلَّم said, "If two Muslims, who love each other for the sake of Allah عَزَّوَجَل, meet each other, shake hands and send Durood upon the Prophet صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْه وَاٰله وَسَلَّم, before they depart from each other their previous sins are forgiven. (Musnad Abi Ya’la - Musnad Anas bin Malik, Hadith 2951, V3, P95)
صَلُّوْا عَلَى الْحَبيْب!ْ صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالىٰ عَلىٰ مُحَمَّد
Oh Allah عَزَّوَجَل! Grant us all the privilege of remaining active in the Madani work of the Sunnah inspired movement Dawat-e-Islami. Oh Allah عَزَّوَجَل! Forgive all our shortcomings and cleanse our hearts from enmity for Muslims. Oh Allah عَزَّوَجَل! Forgive us and the whole Ummah of our Madani Master صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْه وَاٰله وَسَلَّم.
اٰمِيْن بِجَاهِ النَّبِيِّ الْاَمِيْن صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْه وَاٰله وَسَلَّم
Do not make yourself worthy of Hell!
With good intentions, I am taking this opportunity to earn myself the privilege of protecting Muslims from personal conflict, helping put a stop to upcoming problems due to severe criticism amongst brothers despite reconciling time after time and to prevent any damage to major religious activities as a consequence of these quarrels, to earn the pleasure of Allah عَزَّوَجَل and reward for the afterlife. If you brothers take in mind my Madani requests, study this letter every month for at least 12 months or get all responsible brothers together and read it out to them. In’shaa-Allah عَزَّوَجَل you will all succeed in perfuming Islamic society as fragrant flowers of Attar’s garden forever. However, if my suggestions are ignored and instead of rectifying those who are wrong according to the movement’s policies, (In cases of conflict, Dawat-e-Islami requires that first an attempt has to be made to rectify the responsible individual on a personal level. If this does not solve the problem, you should approach your local, divisional, city, provisional and then national Nigraan in the mentioned sequence within the boundaries of Shariah. If the problem still remains, considering you live outside of Pakistan, you should seek assistance from the member of the International Affairs Department (Majlis-e-Bain-ul-Aqwaami Umoor) in Pakistan who deals with your particular country. If the problem still remains, you should approach the Central Consultation Board (Markazi Majlis-e-Shura) in Pakistan who will make the final decision which must be accepted by every Islamic brother, unless there is a valid Islamic reason not to do so. No member of any Majlis of Dawat-e-Islami is beyond the boundaries of Shariah; every Muslim must abide by the rules of Shariah.) you spread things amongst yourselves without a proper reason and you continue to fight and argue amongst yourselves then you will, Allah عَزَّوَجَل forbid, continue to make yourself worthy of Hell due to hatred, backbiting, spreading rumours, heartbreaking, exposing faults, suspicions and other causes of disaster. I hope this bayan, that has been compiled with the aid of the blessings of the Holy Qur’an and the blessed sayings of the Messenger of Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ و صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْه وَاٰله وَسَلَّم by my sinful self, will affect your hearts and minds and result in reconciliation. In’shaa-Allah عَزَّوَجَل my requests will not go to waste. Allah عَزَّوَجَل says in the Holy Qur’an, Sura Dhariyaat, verse 55,
Translation Kanzul-Imaan: And advise, for advice benefits the Muslims.
Satan creates arguments
Dear Islamic Brothers! Remember! The accursed Satan causes conflicts amongst Muslims, makes them fight and kill each other and prevents them from reconciliation. What often happens is that if a concerned Islamic brother intervenes and makes things better, Satan will implant suspicions and make things worse again. Warning us against the attempts of the wretched Satan, Allah عَزَّوَجَل says in the 53rd verse of Sura Bani Israeel,
Translation Kanzul-Imaan: Undoubtedly Satan sows discord among them
In the 91st verse of Sura Ma’ida, we are warned:
Translation Kanzul-Imaan: The devil only seeks to instil hatred and enmity between you.
Anger causes problems
Muslims should make sure that this mischief making and disastrous attempt of Satan goes to waste. Indeed, there are many dangers in the world and in the afterlife caused by personal conflicts. A person who loses his temper very quickly often causes mischief. People with short tempers should be warned on losing control of himself for the sake of ego and disobeying the commands of Allah عَزَّوَجَل as it could throw him into the deep ditches of Hell. Have a look at the punishment for anger and make efforts to save yourself from the torment of Hell.
A particular door of Hell
The Beloved Prophet of Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ و صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْه وَاٰله وَسَلَّم said, "There is a door in Hell through which those angry people will enter who only calm down after committing a sin". (It’tihafus saadatul muttaqeen, V9, P318
The Noor of Malik bin Dinar’s patience
The way our pious predecessor’s رَحِمَهُمُ اللّٰهُ المُبين tolerated the cruelty of tyrants and the mischief of disbelievers and overcame anger can be seen in the following narration: Sayyiduna Malik Bin Dinar عليه رحمة الغفار rented a place to live. There was a Jewish person living next door. The Jew hated him and so he would throw rubbish into his رَحْمَةُ الله عَلَيْه house via his drain, but the Sheikh wouldn’t complain. One day the Jew came and (sarcastically) asked, "My drain isn’t causing any problems is it?" He رَحْمَةُ الله عَلَيْه replied very politely, "When the rubbish falls from the drain, I sweep it up and clean the area." The Jew asked, "Don’t you get angry despite all the trouble it causes you"? He رَحْمَةُ الله عَلَيْه said that the Merciful Lord عَزَّوَجَل has said in Sura Ale Imran, verse 134,
Translation Kanzul-Imaan: and who control their anger and are forgiving towards mankind; and the righteous are the beloved of Allah.
When the Jew heard this he became a Muslim. (Tadhkira-tul-Auliya, Dhikr of Malik bin Dinar, P51)
صَلُّوْا عَلَى الْحَبيْب!ْ صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلٰى مُحَمَّد
Dear Islamic Brothers! Did you see what blessings politeness brings! Politeness is what caused this Jew to become a Muslim.
One of the harms of anger is that it creates hatred and enmity and this sometimes leads to corruption and murder. Read about the harms of hatred and enmity and tremble with fear of Allah عَزَّوَجَل.
3 types of people
Sayyiduna ibn Abbas رَضِيَ اﷲُعَنْهُمَا narrates that the Blessed Prophet صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْه وَاٰله وَسَلَّم said, "There are three people whose prayers do not rise a single hand span above their heads: (1) An Imaam who people despise, (2) The woman that spends the night with her husband annoyed at her and (3) Two brothers who have fallen out with each other (without a valid reason)." (Sunan Ibn-e-Maja, V1, P516, Hadith 971)
Disaster for people with enmity
Sayyiduna Mu’aadh bin Jabal رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهُ narrates that the Messenger of Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ و صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْه وَاٰله وَسَلَّم said, "On the 15th night of Sha’baan, Allah عَزَّوَجَل looks at His people with mercy and forgives them all except the polytheists and those who hold enmity in their hearts." (Al-Ihsan bitarteeb Sahih ibn Habaan, V7, P470, Hadith 5236)
Blocking the way for forgiveness
Sayyiduna Abu Huraira رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهُ narrates that the Beloved of Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ و صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْه وَاٰله وَسَلَّم said, "Peoples actions are presented twice every week on Monday and Thursday. Every believing person is forgiven except the one who holds enmity for a fellow Muslim brother. It is said, ‘Leave these two until they have reconciled’." (Al-Ihsan bitarteeb Sahih ibn Habaan, V7, P471, Hadith 5638)
Breaking ties unnecessarily is a sin
Dear Islamic Brothers! Remember! For Muslims to break ties with each other due to hatred (without a proper reason) is a sin, Haraam and leads to Hell. Sayyiduna Abu Huraira رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهُ narrates that the beloved of Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ و صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْه وَاٰله وَسَلَّم warned, "It is not permissible for any Muslim to avoid his fellow Muslim brother for more than three days. He who avoids his brother for more than three days and dies will be put into Hell." (Sunan Abi Dawood, Hadith 4914, V4, P363)
Excellence of hiding faults
Dear Islamic Brothers! Remember! Personal conflicts that are not based on Shariah usually result in long periods of suspicion, backbiting, spreading rumours, accusations and other major sins, consequently making both parties worthy of the punishment of Hell. The sin of publicly spreading each others faults due to personal conflicts is also very common therefore a great deal of care is needed. It is very important that a Muslims faults be kept secret if anyone becomes aware of them. Alhamdu-Lillah عَزَّوَجَل there is great reward for concealing the faults of a Muslim. Sayyiduna Uqba bin Amir رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهُ narrates that the blessed Prophet, master of both worlds, king of the messengers, fountain of compassion and generosity صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْه وَاٰله وَسَلَّم said, "If someone conceals a secret fault of a person after seeing it, it is as if he has brought a girl to life who had been buried alive." (Al Mu’jamul Awsat, V6, P97, Hadith 8133)
How should a Muslim be?
Sayyiduna Abdullah ibn Umar رَضِيَ اﷲُعَنْهُمَا narrates that the Honourable Messenger صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْه وَاٰله وَسَلَّم said, "A Muslim is a brother of another Muslim; he does not oppress him and does not leave him unaccompanied. If a person attends the need of his brother, Allah عَزَّوَجَل will complete his needs and if anyone removes pain from a Muslim, Allah عَزَّوَجَل will remove pain from him on the day of judgement and if anyone conceals the faults of a Muslim, Allah عَزَّوَجَل will conceal his faults on the day of judgment." (Sahih Muslim, Hadith 6580, P1394)
بسم الله الرحمٰن الرَّحيم ط This salaam is from Muhammad Ilyas Attar Qadiri Razavi عفي عنه to the Nigraan, members of the Majlis-e-Mushawarat and responsible brothers of the international non-political religious movement Dawat-e-Islami of the Qur’an and Sunnah in ……….(The city name of the European country has been removed.). It is a salaam that clears hatred and spreads love; reaching you after kissing the illuminated turban of our Dear Beloved Prophet صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْه وَاٰله وَسَلَّم and his blessed tresses and after wandering through the streets of Madina,
السلام عليکم ور حمة الله وبَرَ کاته
الحمد لله ربِّ العٰلمين عليٰ کلِّ حال
Excellence of Durood Shareef
The Master of Madina and the peace of our hearts صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْه وَاٰله وَسَلَّم said, "If two Muslims, who love each other for the sake of Allah عَزَّوَجَل, meet each other, shake hands and send Durood upon the Prophet صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْه وَاٰله وَسَلَّم, before they depart from each other their previous sins are forgiven. (Musnad Abi Ya’la - Musnad Anas bin Malik, Hadith 2951, V3, P95)
صَلُّوْا عَلَى الْحَبيْب!ْ صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالىٰ عَلىٰ مُحَمَّد
Oh Allah عَزَّوَجَل! Grant us all the privilege of remaining active in the Madani work of the Sunnah inspired movement Dawat-e-Islami. Oh Allah عَزَّوَجَل! Forgive all our shortcomings and cleanse our hearts from enmity for Muslims. Oh Allah عَزَّوَجَل! Forgive us and the whole Ummah of our Madani Master صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْه وَاٰله وَسَلَّم.
اٰمِيْن بِجَاهِ النَّبِيِّ الْاَمِيْن صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْه وَاٰله وَسَلَّم
Do not make yourself worthy of Hell!
With good intentions, I am taking this opportunity to earn myself the privilege of protecting Muslims from personal conflict, helping put a stop to upcoming problems due to severe criticism amongst brothers despite reconciling time after time and to prevent any damage to major religious activities as a consequence of these quarrels, to earn the pleasure of Allah عَزَّوَجَل and reward for the afterlife. If you brothers take in mind my Madani requests, study this letter every month for at least 12 months or get all responsible brothers together and read it out to them. In’shaa-Allah عَزَّوَجَل you will all succeed in perfuming Islamic society as fragrant flowers of Attar’s garden forever. However, if my suggestions are ignored and instead of rectifying those who are wrong according to the movement’s policies, (In cases of conflict, Dawat-e-Islami requires that first an attempt has to be made to rectify the responsible individual on a personal level. If this does not solve the problem, you should approach your local, divisional, city, provisional and then national Nigraan in the mentioned sequence within the boundaries of Shariah. If the problem still remains, considering you live outside of Pakistan, you should seek assistance from the member of the International Affairs Department (Majlis-e-Bain-ul-Aqwaami Umoor) in Pakistan who deals with your particular country. If the problem still remains, you should approach the Central Consultation Board (Markazi Majlis-e-Shura) in Pakistan who will make the final decision which must be accepted by every Islamic brother, unless there is a valid Islamic reason not to do so. No member of any Majlis of Dawat-e-Islami is beyond the boundaries of Shariah; every Muslim must abide by the rules of Shariah.) you spread things amongst yourselves without a proper reason and you continue to fight and argue amongst yourselves then you will, Allah عَزَّوَجَل forbid, continue to make yourself worthy of Hell due to hatred, backbiting, spreading rumours, heartbreaking, exposing faults, suspicions and other causes of disaster. I hope this bayan, that has been compiled with the aid of the blessings of the Holy Qur’an and the blessed sayings of the Messenger of Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ و صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْه وَاٰله وَسَلَّم by my sinful self, will affect your hearts and minds and result in reconciliation. In’shaa-Allah عَزَّوَجَل my requests will not go to waste. Allah عَزَّوَجَل says in the Holy Qur’an, Sura Dhariyaat, verse 55,
Translation Kanzul-Imaan: And advise, for advice benefits the Muslims.
Satan creates arguments
Dear Islamic Brothers! Remember! The accursed Satan causes conflicts amongst Muslims, makes them fight and kill each other and prevents them from reconciliation. What often happens is that if a concerned Islamic brother intervenes and makes things better, Satan will implant suspicions and make things worse again. Warning us against the attempts of the wretched Satan, Allah عَزَّوَجَل says in the 53rd verse of Sura Bani Israeel,
Translation Kanzul-Imaan: Undoubtedly Satan sows discord among them
In the 91st verse of Sura Ma’ida, we are warned:
Translation Kanzul-Imaan: The devil only seeks to instil hatred and enmity between you.
Anger causes problems
Muslims should make sure that this mischief making and disastrous attempt of Satan goes to waste. Indeed, there are many dangers in the world and in the afterlife caused by personal conflicts. A person who loses his temper very quickly often causes mischief. People with short tempers should be warned on losing control of himself for the sake of ego and disobeying the commands of Allah عَزَّوَجَل as it could throw him into the deep ditches of Hell. Have a look at the punishment for anger and make efforts to save yourself from the torment of Hell.
A particular door of Hell
The Beloved Prophet of Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ و صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْه وَاٰله وَسَلَّم said, "There is a door in Hell through which those angry people will enter who only calm down after committing a sin". (It’tihafus saadatul muttaqeen, V9, P318
The Noor of Malik bin Dinar’s patience
The way our pious predecessor’s رَحِمَهُمُ اللّٰهُ المُبين tolerated the cruelty of tyrants and the mischief of disbelievers and overcame anger can be seen in the following narration: Sayyiduna Malik Bin Dinar عليه رحمة الغفار rented a place to live. There was a Jewish person living next door. The Jew hated him and so he would throw rubbish into his رَحْمَةُ الله عَلَيْه house via his drain, but the Sheikh wouldn’t complain. One day the Jew came and (sarcastically) asked, "My drain isn’t causing any problems is it?" He رَحْمَةُ الله عَلَيْه replied very politely, "When the rubbish falls from the drain, I sweep it up and clean the area." The Jew asked, "Don’t you get angry despite all the trouble it causes you"? He رَحْمَةُ الله عَلَيْه said that the Merciful Lord عَزَّوَجَل has said in Sura Ale Imran, verse 134,
Translation Kanzul-Imaan: and who control their anger and are forgiving towards mankind; and the righteous are the beloved of Allah.
When the Jew heard this he became a Muslim. (Tadhkira-tul-Auliya, Dhikr of Malik bin Dinar, P51)
صَلُّوْا عَلَى الْحَبيْب!ْ صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلٰى مُحَمَّد
Dear Islamic Brothers! Did you see what blessings politeness brings! Politeness is what caused this Jew to become a Muslim.
One of the harms of anger is that it creates hatred and enmity and this sometimes leads to corruption and murder. Read about the harms of hatred and enmity and tremble with fear of Allah عَزَّوَجَل.
3 types of people
Sayyiduna ibn Abbas رَضِيَ اﷲُعَنْهُمَا narrates that the Blessed Prophet صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْه وَاٰله وَسَلَّم said, "There are three people whose prayers do not rise a single hand span above their heads: (1) An Imaam who people despise, (2) The woman that spends the night with her husband annoyed at her and (3) Two brothers who have fallen out with each other (without a valid reason)." (Sunan Ibn-e-Maja, V1, P516, Hadith 971)
Disaster for people with enmity
Sayyiduna Mu’aadh bin Jabal رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهُ narrates that the Messenger of Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ و صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْه وَاٰله وَسَلَّم said, "On the 15th night of Sha’baan, Allah عَزَّوَجَل looks at His people with mercy and forgives them all except the polytheists and those who hold enmity in their hearts." (Al-Ihsan bitarteeb Sahih ibn Habaan, V7, P470, Hadith 5236)
Blocking the way for forgiveness
Sayyiduna Abu Huraira رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهُ narrates that the Beloved of Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ و صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْه وَاٰله وَسَلَّم said, "Peoples actions are presented twice every week on Monday and Thursday. Every believing person is forgiven except the one who holds enmity for a fellow Muslim brother. It is said, ‘Leave these two until they have reconciled’." (Al-Ihsan bitarteeb Sahih ibn Habaan, V7, P471, Hadith 5638)

Five level's of Namaaz
Surely, Prayer (Namaaz) keeps one away from all lewd and forbidden acts
In-nas Salaata Tanha ‘Anil Fahshaa’i Wal Munkar - Al-Qur’aan
The levels of People With regard to their prayer And mankind, with regard to their performance of prayer is in five levels.
The First: The level of the one who is negligent and wrongs his soul. He is the one who falls short in performing ablution properly, performing the prayer upon its time and within its specified limits, and in fulfilling its essential pillars.
The Second: The one, who guards his prayers upon their proper times and within their specified limits, fulfils their essential pillars and performs his ablution with care. However, his striving is
wasted due to whisperings in his prayer so he is taken away by thoughts and ideas.
The Third: The one, who guards his prayers within the specified limits, fulfils their essential pillars and strives with himself to repel the whisperings, thoughts and ideas. He is busy struggling
against his enemy (Shaitan) so that he does not steal from the prayer. On account of this he is engaged in (both) prayer and jihad.
The Fourth: The one who stands for the prayer, completes and perfects its due rights, its essential pillars, performs it within its specified limits and his heart becomes engrossed in safeguarding its rights and specified limits, so that nothing is wasted from it. His whole concern is directed towards its establishment, its completion and its perfection, as it should be. His heart is immersed in the prayer and in enslavement to his Lord, the Exalted.
The Fifth: The one who stands for the prayer like the one mentioned above. However, on top of this, he has taken and placed his heart in front of his Lord, the Mighty and Majestic, looking towards Him with his heart with anticipation, (his heart) filled with His love and His might, as if he sees and witnesses Allah. The whisperings, thoughts and ideas have vanished and the coverings which are between him and his Lord are raised. What is between this person and others with respect to the prayer is superior and greater than what is between the heavens and the earth. This person is busy with his Lord, the Mighty and Majestic, delighted with Him.
The first type will be punished, the second type will be held to account, the third will have his sins and shortcomings expiated, the fourth will be rewarded and the fifth will be close to his Lord,
because he will receive the portion of the one who makes his prayer the delight and pleasure of his eye. Whoever makes his prayer the delight and pleasure of his eye, will have the nearness to his Lord, the Mighty and Majestic, made the delight and pleasure of his eye in the hereafter. He will also be made a pleasure to the eye in this world since whoever makes Allah the pleasure of his eye in this world, every other eye will become delighted and pleased with him.

Sheikh Muhammad bin Sulaimaan Jazuli رَحْمَةُ الله عَلَيْه says that I was once on a journey. At one place it was time to offer salaah. There was a well there but no rope or bucket to pull the water out. I was still thinking about this problem when a girl on top of a house looked and asked, "What are you looking for?" I replied, "I am looking for a bucket and some rope." She asked my name, and I told her. She said, "Oh, so it is you who is spoken about a lot but your condition is such that you can’t even pull water from a well." After saying this, she spat in the well. As soon as she did this, water started rising in the well and started flowing out. Muhammad bin Sulaimaan Jazuli رَحْمَةُ الله عَلَيْه performed his wudu and offered his salaah and then asked the girl, "Tell me truthfully, how you achieved this marvel?" She replied, "I recite Durood Shareef and with its blessing, this marvel happened." He رَحْمَةُ الله عَلَيْه says that I was so impressed by that girl that I promised I will write a book all about Durood Shareef. (sa’aada-tud-darain, P159) Therefore, he رَحْمَةُ الله عَلَيْه wrote a book all about Durood Shareef which is famously known as ‘Dalail-ul-Khairaat’.
صَلُّوْا عَلَى الْحَبيْبْ صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلٰى مُحَمَّد
During the last few days, we remembered the great martyrs of Karbala. I will now tell you a painful story of a Hussaini groom. Allama Moulana Sayyid Muhammad Naeem-ud-Deen Muraadabaadi رَحْمَةُ الله عَلَيْه narrates in his book ‘Sawanih-e-Karbala’,
Hussaini groom
Sayyiduna Wahb رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهُ ibn’e Abdullah Kalbi was a good natured youngster from the tribe of Bani Kalb. Just after 7 days of his رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهُ marriage his mother رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهَا came to him. His mother was a widow and her only prize and possession was her son. She رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهَا embraced her son and started crying. Sayyiduna Wahb رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهُ in confusion asked his mother, "Dear mother! Why are you upset? I don’t remember ever upsetting you during my lifetime and neither can I ever think of doing that in the future. It is compulsory for me to obey your orders and In’shaa-Allah عَزَّوَجَل until the day I die I will be your obedient. Dear mother! What is worrying you and what has made you cry? My dear mother! I am willing to sacrifice my life on your order. Please don’t be upset." On hearing this, his mother let out a scream and started crying even more and said, "My son, you are the light of my eyes, you are the peace of my heart, you are the only flower in my garden. Through sweat and tears I have fed you, I cannot bear a single moment without you and my heart becomes distressed in your absence. My dear son! Today on the ground of Karbala, the grandson of the Prophet صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْه وَاٰله وَسَلَّم , the beloved of Sayyiduna Ali رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهُ, the light of the eyes of Sayyidatuna Fatima رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهَا is getting crushed under oppression and cruelty. My Beloved! Is it possible for you to sacrifice your life at their feet? I would spit on this world if we are still alive and the beloved grandson of the Holy prophet صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْه وَاٰله وَسَلَّم is mercilessly martyred. If you remember the love that I gave to you when you were growing up, if you have not forgotten then my dear son! Sacrifice yourself for Hussain رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهُ." The Hussaini groom Sayyiduna Wahb رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهُ said, "My Dear Mother! It is my good fortune if I can sacrifice my life for Hussain رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهُ and I am prepared to do so. I need permission for a short while though so that I can go see that woman who has given up everything in this world for me and does not look at any other man except me. I am worried about her and if she wishes, I will give her permission to spend her life how ever she wants." The mother said, "My Dear Son! Women are of unsound mentality, you might become trapped in her words and might let this opportunity leave your hands." The Hussaini groom Sayyiduna Wahb رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهُ said, "My Dear Mother! My love for Imam Hussain رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهُ is so tight in my heart that no-one can open that knot of love and no-one can wash that love away." After saying this, he رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهُ went to his wife and said, "The grandson of the Prophet صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْه وَاٰله وَسَلَّم, son of Fatima رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهَا and blooming flower from the garden of Sayyiduna Ali رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهُ is in difficulty in the grounds of Karbala. Traitors have got them trapped." On hearing this, his bride let out a heart trembling sigh and said, "Oh crown of my head! How upsetting it is that I can’t participate with you in this battle. Shariah does not allow women to come to the battlefield in order to fight. Unfortunately, I am deprived of this blessing and I can’t sacrifice myself for Imam Hussain رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهُ . Subhan-Allah عَزَّوَجَل, you have made the intention of Heaven and Heavenly women will be waiting for you. Just do one thing for me. When you are in Heaven and are presented with the blessings of Heaven and the Heavenly women are around you, please keep me by your side." The Hussaini groom رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهُ took his wife and mother and presented him in the court of Imam Hussain رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهُ. The bride said, "Oh son of The Prophet صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْه وَاٰله وَسَلَّم, as soon as a martyr falls from his horse, he falls into the lap of heavenly women and every wish is fulfilled in Heaven. He (meaning Sayyiduna Wahb رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهُ) wishes to sacrifice himself for you and I have no other relatives who will take care of me. I just have one wish and it is that I don’t be separated from my groom on the Day of Judgement. In this world I wish that you keep me as one of your slave girls so that I can serve your female family members رَضِيَ اﷲُعَنْهُن." After hearing all this, Sayyiduna Wahb رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهُ said, "Oh Imam Hussain رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهُ, if through the intercession of the Prophet صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْه وَاٰله وَسَلَّم I am granted Heaven, I will request the Prophet صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْه وَاٰله وَسَلَّم to keep my bride with me because I have made her a promise." After saying this, Sayyiduna Wahb رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهُ requested permission from Imam Hussain رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهُ and went into the battlefield. On seeing this, the enemy became frightful as to who this young man this, riding on a horse all by himself with a spear in his hand and calling out in a loud voice,
امِيْرُالْحُسَيْنُ وَ نِعْمَ الْامِيْر
لَهُ لَمْعَةٌ کَا لسِّرَاجِ الْمُنِيْر
Meaning Imaam Hussain رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهُ is the leader and he is a good leader. His character and personality is like a bright candle.
Sayyiduna Wahb رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهُ went forward with full speed and whoever came in his way was beheaded. Around him, a pile of heads was created. The bodies of the enemy could be seen writhing in pain and agony and covered in blood. After a while he changed the direction of his horse and headed towards his mother. He رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهُ came to his mother and said, "My dear mother! Are you happy with me now?" He went to his bride who was crying and told her to be patient. As soon as he had said this, a voice was heard from the battlefield calling out هَلْ مِنْ مُّبَارِز؟ meaning is there anyone to fight? Sayyiduna Wahb رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهُ mounted his horse and headed towards the battlefield for the second time. The new bride is watching her husband leave as tears fall from her eyes. The Hussaini Groom reached the battlefield within moments and saw that the enemy in the field was the famous warrior and expert rider Hakam bin Tufail who was an experienced fighter in the battlefield. With pride he leapt off his horse. With one attack, Sayyiduna Wahb رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهُ lifted him with his spear and threw him onto the ground and because of the impact of him hitting the ground, his bones got crushed. There was uproar in both armies and the enemy lost the will power to fight. Sayyiduna Wahb رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهُ rode straight into the heart of the enemy. Whichever enemy came in his way was lifted on his spear and smashed onto the ground. So many enemies were killed using the spear that the spear broke into pieces. As soon as it broke into pieces, he رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهُ took out his sword and beheaded any enemy in the way. When the enemies became fed up of what Sayyiduna Wahb رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهُ was doing, the enemy leader Amr bin Sa’ad gave the order that all the soldiers should attack at once and from all around. This order of the leader was followed and all the enemies attacked at once. Sayyiduna Wahb رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهُ was so badly injured by this cowardly attack that he fell to the ground and the black hearted enemy cut of his blessed head and threw it towards the army of Imam Hussain رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهُ. The mother of Sayyiduna Wahb رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهُ picked up the head of her son and rubbed it on her face and said, "Oh son, my brave son, your mother is happy with you now." The mother then put the head into the lap of the bride. The bride kissed the head and in that very instance her soul left her body and she joined her Hussaini groom.
اَسکَنَکُمَا الله ُ فَرَادِيْسَ الجِنَانِ وَاَغرَقَکُم فِي بِحَارِ الرَّحمَة وَ الرِّضوَانِ
(meaning may Allah عَزَّوَجَل grant you a place in the gardens of Firdous and immerse you in mercy and the river of Ridwaan)
(mulakhkhas az: Sawanih Karbala, P118-123, Shabir brothers Markaz-ul-Auliya Lahore)
My Dear Islamic Brothers! You saw the enthusiasm the AhleBait عليهم الرضوان had and how the Hussaini groom who was married since 17 days only, went into the battlefield and faced the enemy and became entitled to Heaven by being martyred. The mother and wife of the Hussaini groom are also entitled too much praise. Look at how the mother and the wife supported the Hussaini groom and saw him get martyred in the feet of Imaam Hussain رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهُ. May Allah عَزَّوَجَل give even one drop of this enthusiasm to our mothers and sisters so that they can also present their children for the sake of Islam, make them act upon the sunnah and make them travel in the Madani Qafilas.

Hussaini Groom
No matter how lazy Satan makes you feel, read this booklet in its entirety. In’shaa-Allah عَزَّوَجَل you will feel a Madani transformation within yourself.
Sheikh Muhammad bin Sulaimaan Jazuli رَحْمَةُ الله عَلَيْه says that I was once on a journey. At one place it was time to offer salaah. There was a well there but no rope or bucket to pull the water out. I was still thinking about this problem when a girl on top of a house looked and asked, "What are you looking for?" I replied, "I am looking for a bucket and some rope." She asked my name, and I told her. She said, "Oh, so it is you who is spoken about a lot but your condition is such that you can’t even pull water from a well." After saying this, she spat in the well. As soon as she did this, water started rising in the well and started flowing out. Muhammad bin Sulaimaan Jazuli رَحْمَةُ الله عَلَيْه performed his wudu and offered his salaah and then asked the girl, "Tell me truthfully, how you achieved this marvel?" She replied, "I recite Durood Shareef and with its blessing, this marvel happened." He رَحْمَةُ الله عَلَيْه says that I was so impressed by that girl that I promised I will write a book all about Durood Shareef. (sa’aada-tud-darain, P159) Therefore, he رَحْمَةُ الله عَلَيْه wrote a book all about Durood Shareef which is famously known as ‘Dalail-ul-Khairaat’.
صَلُّوْا عَلَى الْحَبيْبْ صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلٰى مُحَمَّد
During the last few days, we remembered the great martyrs of Karbala. I will now tell you a painful story of a Hussaini groom. Allama Moulana Sayyid Muhammad Naeem-ud-Deen Muraadabaadi رَحْمَةُ الله عَلَيْه narrates in his book ‘Sawanih-e-Karbala’,
Hussaini groom
Sayyiduna Wahb رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهُ ibn’e Abdullah Kalbi was a good natured youngster from the tribe of Bani Kalb. Just after 7 days of his رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهُ marriage his mother رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهَا came to him. His mother was a widow and her only prize and possession was her son. She رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهَا embraced her son and started crying. Sayyiduna Wahb رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهُ in confusion asked his mother, "Dear mother! Why are you upset? I don’t remember ever upsetting you during my lifetime and neither can I ever think of doing that in the future. It is compulsory for me to obey your orders and In’shaa-Allah عَزَّوَجَل until the day I die I will be your obedient. Dear mother! What is worrying you and what has made you cry? My dear mother! I am willing to sacrifice my life on your order. Please don’t be upset." On hearing this, his mother let out a scream and started crying even more and said, "My son, you are the light of my eyes, you are the peace of my heart, you are the only flower in my garden. Through sweat and tears I have fed you, I cannot bear a single moment without you and my heart becomes distressed in your absence. My dear son! Today on the ground of Karbala, the grandson of the Prophet صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْه وَاٰله وَسَلَّم , the beloved of Sayyiduna Ali رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهُ, the light of the eyes of Sayyidatuna Fatima رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهَا is getting crushed under oppression and cruelty. My Beloved! Is it possible for you to sacrifice your life at their feet? I would spit on this world if we are still alive and the beloved grandson of the Holy prophet صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْه وَاٰله وَسَلَّم is mercilessly martyred. If you remember the love that I gave to you when you were growing up, if you have not forgotten then my dear son! Sacrifice yourself for Hussain رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهُ." The Hussaini groom Sayyiduna Wahb رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهُ said, "My Dear Mother! It is my good fortune if I can sacrifice my life for Hussain رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهُ and I am prepared to do so. I need permission for a short while though so that I can go see that woman who has given up everything in this world for me and does not look at any other man except me. I am worried about her and if she wishes, I will give her permission to spend her life how ever she wants." The mother said, "My Dear Son! Women are of unsound mentality, you might become trapped in her words and might let this opportunity leave your hands." The Hussaini groom Sayyiduna Wahb رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهُ said, "My Dear Mother! My love for Imam Hussain رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهُ is so tight in my heart that no-one can open that knot of love and no-one can wash that love away." After saying this, he رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهُ went to his wife and said, "The grandson of the Prophet صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْه وَاٰله وَسَلَّم, son of Fatima رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهَا and blooming flower from the garden of Sayyiduna Ali رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهُ is in difficulty in the grounds of Karbala. Traitors have got them trapped." On hearing this, his bride let out a heart trembling sigh and said, "Oh crown of my head! How upsetting it is that I can’t participate with you in this battle. Shariah does not allow women to come to the battlefield in order to fight. Unfortunately, I am deprived of this blessing and I can’t sacrifice myself for Imam Hussain رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهُ . Subhan-Allah عَزَّوَجَل, you have made the intention of Heaven and Heavenly women will be waiting for you. Just do one thing for me. When you are in Heaven and are presented with the blessings of Heaven and the Heavenly women are around you, please keep me by your side." The Hussaini groom رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهُ took his wife and mother and presented him in the court of Imam Hussain رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهُ. The bride said, "Oh son of The Prophet صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْه وَاٰله وَسَلَّم, as soon as a martyr falls from his horse, he falls into the lap of heavenly women and every wish is fulfilled in Heaven. He (meaning Sayyiduna Wahb رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهُ) wishes to sacrifice himself for you and I have no other relatives who will take care of me. I just have one wish and it is that I don’t be separated from my groom on the Day of Judgement. In this world I wish that you keep me as one of your slave girls so that I can serve your female family members رَضِيَ اﷲُعَنْهُن." After hearing all this, Sayyiduna Wahb رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهُ said, "Oh Imam Hussain رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهُ, if through the intercession of the Prophet صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْه وَاٰله وَسَلَّم I am granted Heaven, I will request the Prophet صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْه وَاٰله وَسَلَّم to keep my bride with me because I have made her a promise." After saying this, Sayyiduna Wahb رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهُ requested permission from Imam Hussain رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهُ and went into the battlefield. On seeing this, the enemy became frightful as to who this young man this, riding on a horse all by himself with a spear in his hand and calling out in a loud voice,
امِيْرُالْحُسَيْنُ وَ نِعْمَ الْامِيْر
لَهُ لَمْعَةٌ کَا لسِّرَاجِ الْمُنِيْر
Meaning Imaam Hussain رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهُ is the leader and he is a good leader. His character and personality is like a bright candle.
Sayyiduna Wahb رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهُ went forward with full speed and whoever came in his way was beheaded. Around him, a pile of heads was created. The bodies of the enemy could be seen writhing in pain and agony and covered in blood. After a while he changed the direction of his horse and headed towards his mother. He رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهُ came to his mother and said, "My dear mother! Are you happy with me now?" He went to his bride who was crying and told her to be patient. As soon as he had said this, a voice was heard from the battlefield calling out هَلْ مِنْ مُّبَارِز؟ meaning is there anyone to fight? Sayyiduna Wahb رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهُ mounted his horse and headed towards the battlefield for the second time. The new bride is watching her husband leave as tears fall from her eyes. The Hussaini Groom reached the battlefield within moments and saw that the enemy in the field was the famous warrior and expert rider Hakam bin Tufail who was an experienced fighter in the battlefield. With pride he leapt off his horse. With one attack, Sayyiduna Wahb رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهُ lifted him with his spear and threw him onto the ground and because of the impact of him hitting the ground, his bones got crushed. There was uproar in both armies and the enemy lost the will power to fight. Sayyiduna Wahb رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهُ rode straight into the heart of the enemy. Whichever enemy came in his way was lifted on his spear and smashed onto the ground. So many enemies were killed using the spear that the spear broke into pieces. As soon as it broke into pieces, he رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهُ took out his sword and beheaded any enemy in the way. When the enemies became fed up of what Sayyiduna Wahb رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهُ was doing, the enemy leader Amr bin Sa’ad gave the order that all the soldiers should attack at once and from all around. This order of the leader was followed and all the enemies attacked at once. Sayyiduna Wahb رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهُ was so badly injured by this cowardly attack that he fell to the ground and the black hearted enemy cut of his blessed head and threw it towards the army of Imam Hussain رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهُ. The mother of Sayyiduna Wahb رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهُ picked up the head of her son and rubbed it on her face and said, "Oh son, my brave son, your mother is happy with you now." The mother then put the head into the lap of the bride. The bride kissed the head and in that very instance her soul left her body and she joined her Hussaini groom.
اَسکَنَکُمَا الله ُ فَرَادِيْسَ الجِنَانِ وَاَغرَقَکُم فِي بِحَارِ الرَّحمَة وَ الرِّضوَانِ
(meaning may Allah عَزَّوَجَل grant you a place in the gardens of Firdous and immerse you in mercy and the river of Ridwaan)
(mulakhkhas az: Sawanih Karbala, P118-123, Shabir brothers Markaz-ul-Auliya Lahore)
My Dear Islamic Brothers! You saw the enthusiasm the AhleBait عليهم الرضوان had and how the Hussaini groom who was married since 17 days only, went into the battlefield and faced the enemy and became entitled to Heaven by being martyred. The mother and wife of the Hussaini groom are also entitled too much praise. Look at how the mother and the wife supported the Hussaini groom and saw him get martyred in the feet of Imaam Hussain رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهُ. May Allah عَزَّوَجَل give even one drop of this enthusiasm to our mothers and sisters so that they can also present their children for the sake of Islam, make them act upon the sunnah and make them travel in the Madani Qafilas.

Bones of the Kings
It is stated that once a King went hunting but was separated from his companions. The King spotted a weak and grief-stricken young man who was shuffling with some human bones.
The King asked, “How did you become like this and what are you doing in this deserted and frightening place all alone?”
The young man replied, “I`m in such a state because I have a long journey ahead of me. Two guardian Angels that have been appointed over me (in the form of day & night) are after me, scaring me, and making me run forward. Meaning that whatever days and nights pass, they are bringing me closer to death. I see a dark and narrow grave full of pain ahead of me. Alas! Soon I will be left in it to rot. It will be full of discomfort and worries. There I will become food for insects, my bones and their joints will be taken apart. This isn`t the end though. After this there is also the Day of Judgement, which will be tougher. Thereafter, I don`t even know whether I will be sent to Heaven or to Hell, Allah (azzaẃajal) forbid. You tell me, how can somebody who knows all this rejoice?”
After hearing this, the King was engrossed by sadness and grief. The King got off his horse and sat in front of the young man and said, “Oh young man, your words have snatched all my comfort and have taken control of my heart. I want to know more.”
The young man said, “These bones that you see piled in front of me are the bones of Kings who fell into the trap created by the beauty of this world. They themselves ruled the people, whilst heedlessness ruled their hearts. These people remained careless of the Hereafter. All their desires were left unfulfilled till death overtook them and the blessings bestowed upon them were confiscated. Their bodies have rotted away in the graves and their bones are scattered around in the state of restlessness. Soon, their bones will gain life and will again be covered with flesh and they will receive according to their deeds either a house of blessing (Heaven) or a house of torment (Hell).”
After saying this, the young man disappeared and the King couldn`t find him anywhere. When the servants found the King they saw his facial expression of emptiness and tears flowing down his cheeks. When the night came, the King took off his lavish clothes and wrapped himself in two sheets and went into the jungle to perform the worship of Allah (azzaẃajal). After this point in time nobody heard from that King ever again (rahmatullahi ta`ala alayhima)

Satan's four donkeys
No matter how lazy Satan makes you, read the whole of this article. In’shaa-Allah عَزَّوَجَل you will feel a Madani transformation occurring in your heart. Benefit of Durood Shareef
Sayyiduna Abul Qasim Qushairi رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهُ narrates that Allah عَزَّوَجَل sent a revelation to Sayyiduna Musa عَلَيْهِ السَّلاَم saying, "I created 10,000 ears in you with which you heard my speech and 10,000 tongues with which you spoke to me. You will become beloved to me when you send Durood upon Muhammad صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْه وَاٰله وَسَلَّم".
(ar risalat-ul-Qushairiyyah baabus samaa’, P377, Dar-ul-Kutubul Ilmiyyah Beirut)
صَلُّوْا عَلَى الْحَبيْب!ْ صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلٰى مُحَمَّد
What was on the four donkeys?
It is said that Sayyiduna Isa عَلَيْهِ السَّلاَم once saw Satan with four loaded donkeys. He عَلَيْهِ السَّلاَم asked him what they were carrying. Satan replied, "They are carrying my merchandise, one of them is carrying cruelty, another is carrying dishonesty, the third is carrying treachery, and the last one is carrying jealousy." He عَلَيْهِ السَّلاَم asked, "Who will buy this merchandise?" Satan replied, "Rulers will buy cruelty, traders will buy dishonesty, women will buy my treachery, and as far as the jealousy is concerned, scholars will buy that". (Nuzha-tul-Majalis, V2, P53, Dar-ul-Kutubul Ilmiyyah Beirut)
First piece of merchandise: Cruelty
My Dear Islamic brothers! We know now that cruelty, dishonesty, treachery and jealousy are all Satan’s merchandise. We have learnt that he sells cruelty to rulers. We know that when a person gains authority he usually deprives the poor and needy of their rights and inflicts oppression upon them instead of enforcing justice, he forgets the fact that Allah عَزَّوَجَل is watching his every move. What the previous narration is saying is that cruelty and oppression is committed commonly by rulers and officers of high posts, but remember, it does not mean that only they commit this crime, anyone causing grief or being cruel to a Muslim is a sinner and worthy of punishment in the fire.
It’s not too late
You who hurt the feelings of Muslims! You who start storms of oppression and cruelty! You who spray rounds of bullets at Muslims! You who rob Muslim shops! Their homes! Threaten them! Terrorise them and steal their peace from them! Listen carefully! Sayyidduna Abu Musa رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهُ narrates that the greatest Messenger صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْه وَاٰله وَسَلَّم said, "Allah عَزَّوَجَل lets tyrants run loose, but when he grabs them he does not let go". (Bukhari, Hadith 4686, V5, P255, Dar-ul-Fikr Beirut)
Signs of an evil man
Sayyidatuna Asma Bint Umais رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهَا reports that she heard the Blessed Messenger صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْه وَاٰله وَسَلَّم saying, "One who is arrogant and forgets Allah عَزَّوَجَل is very evil, so is the one who oppresses the weak and transgresses limits and forgets the Glorious Allah عَزَّوَجَل, and the one who indulges in games and amusements and forgets rotting in his grave, and causes mischief and forgets his beginning, and the one who uses religion to deceive the world, and ruins religion by indulging in doubtful actions, and he who is driven by greed, and is led astray from the straight path by his desires, and the one who is disgraced by his desires (all of them are evil)". (Tirmizi, V3, P357, Hadith 2448, Dar-ul-Kutubul Ilmiyyah Beirut)
Avoid the curse of the oppressed
Sayyiduna Ali رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهُ reports that the Blessed Messenger صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْه وَاٰله وَسَلَّم said, "Avoid the curse of the oppressed because he asks Allah عَزَّوَجَل for his due right and Allah عَزَّوَجَل makes sure that people get their rights". (Jami’ Saghir, V1, P14, Hadith 119, Dar-ul-Kutubul Ilmiyyah Beirut)
The helper of the oppressed is the most powerful
My Dear Islamic Brothers! It may seem as if the oppressed is weak in front of the tyrant but remember he is being supported by the Most Powerful Allah عَزَّوَجَل, the one who will ultimately take revenge. The oppressed is not alone, even though it may temporarily seem as if he is unaided and helpless. If an oppressed person is patient he will definitely benefit from it because he will be rewarded greatly for his patience, as far as the tyrant is concerned he is in great loss because he constantly piles up his sins due to his cruelty, and invites the wrath of Allah عَزَّوَجَل, whether the cruelty be on humans or animals.
Punishment because of a cat
The Beloved of Allah عَزَّوَجَل و صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْه وَاٰله وَسَلَّم has said, "I was shown Hell, in which I saw a woman of Bani Israeel being tortured because in the world she had a cat that died of hunger because she kept it tied up without feeding it herself or letting it run loose to find it’s own food". (Mishkat bisharhi Mirqat, Hadith 5341, V9, P198, Dar-ul-Fikr Beirut)
All seven earths
You who use bribery to illegally occupy other people’s properties listen! You landlords, tribe leaders and farmers who unjustly occupy other people’s farmlands listen! Imam Muslim mentions a warning of Our Beloved Prophet صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْه وَاٰله وَسَلَّم, "One who unjustly occupies a hand span of someone’s land, will be forced to wear a necklace made of the seven earths on the day of judgement". (Muslim, Hadith 1610, V3, P56, Dar-ul-Kutubul Ilmiyyah Beirut)

SAYING BISMILLAH BEFORE WUDHU
Rasoolullah (Sallailaahu-alayhi-wasallam) said: "One who does not say Bismillah before wudhu, his wudhu is incomplete." (Tirmizi). It is reported from Sayyidina Abu Hurairah (RadiAllahuanhu) that anyone who does not say Bismillah before wudhu, only the sins committed by the limbs which are washed in wudhu will be washed away; and one who says Bismillah before wudhu, the sins of the entire body will be washed away. (Mishkaat)
BISMILLAH - A MEANS OF HIGH STATUS IN THE HEREAFTER
Rasoolullah (Sallaahu-alayhi-wasallam) is reported as saying that any du'a which is begun withis not rejected. Because of saying Bismillaahir rahmaanir raheem the scales of my Ummah will become heavy on the Day of Qiyaamah. The other people will enquire: "Why is the virtues of the Ummate Muhammadiyyah so heavy?" Their prophets will say: "In the utterances of the Ummate Muhammadiyyah there is such an honourable name of Allah that if it is placed on the one side of the scale, and the sins of the entire creation is put onto the other side then the side with the virtue will be heavier.A HADEETHE QUDSIRasoolullah (Saliallaahu-alayhi-wasallam) said that Sayyidina Jibreel made mention of this Hadeeth under oath that he heard it from Sayyidina Mika'il(Alaihissalatuwassalam) under oath who in turn heard it from Sayyidina Israfeel (Alaihissalatuwassalam) under oath that Allah Ta'ala said: "By my honour, grace and grandeur, whoever reads Bismillaahir rahmaanir raheem and Soorah Faatihah jointly once, then you be witness that I shall not burn his tongue and I will save him from the Fire as well as the punishment of the grave and the day of Qiyaamah.Note: Reading Bismillah and Sooratul Faatihah jointly means to read it as follows: Bismillaahir rahmaanir raheem mil hamdu lillaahi rabbil aalameen.....
REMEMBERING ALLAH THROUGH HIS THREE THOUSAND NAMES
It is mentioned in Tafseer Roohul Bayaan that Allaamah Sayyid Haqqi (Rehmatullahalaih) said that Allah Ta'ala has three thousand names. He revealed one thousand to the angels, one thousand to the ambiya(Alaihissalatuwassalam), three hundred are mentioned in the Toraah, three hundred in the Zaboor, three hundred in the Injeel, and ninety-nine in the Holy Qur'aan. One Name He has kept to Himself; He revealed it to no one. Also, He has condensed all His names into the three names contained in Bismillaahir rahmaanir raheem. They are Allah, Rahmaan and Raheem. Any person saying Bismillaahir rahmaanir raheem; it is as though he has remembered Allah by all His names.
BISMILLAH BEFORE DOING ANYTHING
It is for this reason that Rasoolullah (Sallallaahu-alayhi- wasallam) used to recite Bismillaahir rahmaanir raheem before doing any work. And he (sallallaahu-alayhi-wasallam) also advisedthe Ummah to do the same. For example, reading it before shutting the door for the night, before putting out the light, before taking meals, before drinking water, before boarding a conveyance, and when alighting any conveyance.
BISMILLAH BEFORE WAHEE
In Durre Manthoor Sayyidina Ibne Umar (RadiAllahuanhu) is reported as saying that surely, whenever Jibreel (Alaihissalatuwassalam) used to bring wahee to Rasoolullah (Sallallaahu-alayhi-wasallam), he used to first recite Bismillaahir rahmaanir raheem .The reason for the above is as follows: in Bismillah there are three names of Allah: (1) Allah which is His personal name indicating that all projects can only be initiated by the will and wish of Allah. (2) Rahmaan (Kind) which is His attributive name indicating that only Allah can keep that project intact and existent (guarding it against destruction). (3) Raheem(Most Merciful) which is also His attributive name indicating that only Allah can,through His mercy and grace, enable any person to derive benefit from that project.This clearly proves that any project begun with Bismillaahir rahmaanir raheem will be granted barakah and blessings from the beginning till the end.
THE STORY OF FAQEEH MUHAMMAD ZAMANI
Faqeeh Muhammad Zamani had a severe fever. His Ustaad Faqeeh Wali Muhammad came to pay him a visit. He gave him a ta'weez(amulet) and advising him not to open it, he departed. As soon as he wore it, his fever disappeared. He became curious. So he opened it and found "Bismillahir Rahman nir Raheem" written in it. This made him lose his confidence in the ta'weez. So his fever returned. He went back to his Ustaad and offered his apology and asked for another ta'weez(amulet). The Ustaad gave him another one. He wore it and his fever again disappeared. He opened it after a year and again, to his surprise, found "Bismillahir Rahman nir Raheem" written in it. By this time he was cured and his yaqeen in "Bismillahir Rahman nir Raheem" grew tremendously.
THE STORY OF SAYYIDINA KHAALID (RadiAllahuanhu)
On one occasion Sayyidina Khaalid (RadiAllahuanhu) surrounded the enemy. So they said to him that you claim that Islam is a true religion. Show us some proof. So he said to them to bring him some poison. They brought him a cup filled with poison. He said 'Bismillah' and drank it. No harm whatsoever came to him. Witnessing this, they all embraced Islam.
THE STORY OF THE ROMAN KING
It is mentioned in Moo-dhi-hul Qur'aan that the king wrote to Sayyidina Umar (RadiAllahuanhu) that he has continious headaches and to kindly send him some medication. Sayyidina Umar (RadiAllahuanhu) sent him a topee(hat). As long as he had the topee(hat) on his head he would feel well. But when he took it off, the headache came back. He was surprised. He took off the topee(hat) and inspected it carefully. And he found "Bismillahir Rahman nir Raheem" inscribed inside.
A FASCINATING STORY OF A JEWISH GIRL
It is mentioned in Lam'aate Soofiyyah that a pious man was once lecturing on the virtues of "Bismillahir Rahman nir Raheem". A Jewish girl was also listening to his lecture. She was so moved by the lecture that she accepted Islam. Now, whenever she did anything she always said "Bismillahir Rahman nir Raheem" first. When her father, who was the king's minister, discovered that she had embraced Islam, he became very upset. He feared that the people would look down upon him. So, he began threatening her in the hope that she would forsake Islam. But she would not. Finally, he decided, the only solution was to kill her. Thus, he thought of a plan: he gave her the ring which was used for sealing letters and documents in the king's court. He said to her: "Keep it until I ask for it." Saying "Bismillahir Rahman nir Raheem" she took it and put it in her pocket.' That night the father tip-toed into her room and stole the ring and flung it into the river. That would give the king all the reason to hang her. The following day a fisherman came along to the minister and gave him a fish as a gift. The minister took it and gave it to his daughter to prepare it. As soon as she opened the stomach to clean the fish she found the ring. She was shocked! For it looked exactly like the ring her father had given her! She searched for the ring in her pocket but couldn't find it. She read "Bismillahir Rahman nir Raheem" and put the ring back into her pocket. She then prepared the fish and presented it to her father. After he had his meal. He then asked for the ring. She said "Bismillahir Rahman nir Raheem" and produced it from her pocket. The father was shocked for he had thrown it into the river! How could she take it out from her pocket! He then told her what he had done and enquired where the ring came from. She told him she found it from the fish's stomach. Witnessing the barakah(blessing) of Bismillah he accepted Islam straightaway
BASHR HAAFI'S INCIDENT
Bashr Haafi once saw a paper with the inscription "Bismillahir Rahman nir Raheem" lying on the ground. He picked it up. He had 2 Dirhams in his pocket. He bought perfume with these and smeared it on the paper. That night he saw (the noor(light)) of Allah Ta'ala in his dream. Allah said to him: 0 Bashr Haafi, just as you have honoured my name, in the same way I shall make you popular in the world and hereafter.
THE BARAKAH AND BLESSINGS OF BISMILLAH
AN INCIDENT WITH ISA-JESUS(Alaihissalatuwassalam.)It is reported that Sayyidina Isa (Alaihissalatuwassalam.)) passed by a grave whose inmate was being tormented. After some days he happened to pass by the same grave again. This time there was no punishment. The inmate was in great comfort.This surprised him a great deal. He asked Allah: -Lord, what brought about Your mercy so that you have lifted the punishment from this person?" Allah Ta'ala replied: -0 Isa, when the man died, he left behind a child. When his mother took him to the madrasah and he, the child, said Bismillaahir rahmaanir raheem in the presence of the teacher, it is not like me to keep on punishing his father while he called me Rahmaan and Raheem. Hence, I forgave him. BASHR HAAFI'S INCIDENT Bashr Haafi once saw a paper with the inscription "Bismillahir Rahman nir Raheem" lying on the ground. He picked it up. He had 2 Dirhams in his pocket.

Excellence of Bismillah Shareef
Bismi Allahi alrrahmani alrraheemiSayyidina Jaabir is reported to have said that when Bismillaahir rahmaanir raheem revealed, the clouds gave way by moving to the East, the winds ceased blowing, the oceans became calm, the creatures prepared themselves to listen, the shaytaan got pelted with fire from the heavens and Allah Ta'ala, swearing an oath by His honour, declared: Anyone who says this name of mine (ie. Bismillaahir rahmaanir raheem) upon anything, I will surely impart barakah in that thing, (Durre Manthoor and Ibne Katheer) ________________________________________"Bismillah" is the key to the Holy Quran and to all permissable actions. Any good deed that is commenced with the Bismillah is worthy of great reward. If any good action is not commenced with Bismillah, then that action remains incomplete. To recite it before any bad deed is forbidden. If one eats or drinks without reciting the Bismillah, the Shaitaan joins in the meal. When slaughtering an animal, one must say the words: "Bismillah Allahu Akbar."________________________________________It is one complete Ayah of the Holy Quran. But it is not the part of any Surah. With the exception of Surah Tauba, every other Surah commences with the Bismillah. When performing Taraweeh, it is necessary for the Hafiz to recite Bismillah aloud at least once. In Surah Naml, the Bismillah which appears is part of the Ayah. The excellence of the Bismillah being explained here refers to the Bismillah written before each Surah in the Quran except for Surah Tauba.________________________________________The Ulema have stated that there are 3 000 known Names of Allah. One thousand are known only to Angels, 1 000 to Ambiya, 300 names are in the Taurah, 300 in the Injeel, 300 in the Zaboor and 99 in the Holy Quran. In total there are 2 999 in number. One Name is only known to Allah which He informed Rasoolullah (sallal laahu alaihi wasallam). In the Bismillah, the Names "Allah," "Rahmaan" and "Raheem" are the basis of all the 3 000 Names. This, he who recites the Bismillah gets the blessings of reciting the 3 000 Names. It is in "Tafseer-e-Kabeer" that there are 19 alphabets in the Bismillah and the Angels of punishment in Jahannam are 19 in number. The hope is that through each Harf, each Angel of Azaab shall be passed. ________________________________________When the Beloved Habeeb (sallal laahu alaihi wasallam) went for Me'raj, he saw four rivers in Jannat - one of water, one of milk, one of wine (drink of Jannah) and one of honey. He questioned Sayyiduna Jibra'il (alaihis salaam) concerning these rivers, and he replied, "Pray and request to Allah so that He may inform you." On the Du'a of Rasoolullah (sallal laahu alaihi wasallam), an Angel appeared. It made Salaam and said, "Ya Rasoolullah (sallal laahu alaihi wasallam)! Close your eyes." When he opened his eyes, he was besides a building. The door of this building was made of gold and there was a lock on it and from under this building flowed rivers. When the Prophet (sallal laahu alaihi wasallam) decided to leave, the Angel requested him to enter the building. The Prophet (sallal laahu alaihi wasallam) said that there was a lock on the door. The Angels said that the keys were present.They then entered the building and saw that there were four pillars and on each pillar was written "Bismillah Hir Rahmaan Nir Raheem." He saw that a river of water flowed from the "Meem" of Bismillah, a river of milk flowed from the "Haa" of Allah, the river of wine flowed from the "Meem" of Rahmaan and a river of honey flowed from the "Meem" of Raheem. At that instance, Almighty Allah said, "O Beloved ! Any Believer of your Ummah who recites the Bismillah will be worthy of these four rivers."It is in "Tafseer Azeezi" that if one is faced with a calamity, he should read the Bismillah 12 000 times in this manner that he should read it 1 000 times then read two Rakaah Nafil Salaah. He should continue this procedure till he reaches 12 thousand. All in all, he will read 24 Rakaahs of Nafil Salaah. After completion, he should ask for his problems to be solved, and Insha-Allah, his Du'as will be accepted.________________________________________If a friend becomes an enemy, read Bismillah Hir Rahmaan Nir Raheem 786 times and blow on his food. Insha-Allah, he will become a friend again. Bismillah also has numerous other benefits
being thankfull to ALLAH azavajal
The other day while watching a network news program, I saw a Muslim woman in Kosova with her six-month-old infant, who was covered in sores and suffered from a malady of illnesses, all because it had not had a bath since its birth.The mother explained that because of the heavy fighting, she and her family had been on the move constantly, and that luxurious such as decent food and clean water were not available to them. As the mother of a six-month-old infant myself, this struck to the very heart of me. Bath time for my son and I, is a very special time filled with play and laughter. It's a ritual we share everyday, and the fact that I would have clean water with which to bathe him, was something, until then, every time I bath my son, I try to remember to thank Allah, subhanahu wa ta'ala, for His Mercy to me. It also reminds me to be thankful for all the other "little things," that I take for granted everyday.From the very beginning of Man's creation, the issue of gratefulness and thankfulness to Allah has been debated. After refusing to bow to Adam, Satan said,"Then I will certainly come to them from before them and from behind them, and from the right-hand side and from the left-hand side, and You (Allah) shall not find most of them thankful."[7:17]This statement from the worst of Iiars has proven to be true, not only among the disbelievers, but also among the Muslims. Unfortunately, we Muslims have fallen into the trap of Satan, and have gotten so caught up in our comings and goings, that we very rarely take the time to reflect on the Favors of Allah, and to thank Him with the thanks that is due Him. We are so busy conducting our daily lives that we forget who is really in-charge, and from where our sustenance comes. This is not the way, for Allah says,"Therefore remember Me, I will remember you, And be thankful to Me, and do not be ungrateful to Me." [The Noble Qur'aan [2:152]]The problem that most of us face is what I call the, "if I only" Syndrome. If I only had a better wife, I would be grateful. If I only had sons instead of daughters, I would be grateful. If I only had a bigger house, a better car, more money, a better job, and the list goes on and on. We are constantly focused on the things we don't have, instead of being grateful to Allah for the things we do have.This is a very serious illness, for which the Prophet (Pbuh) has given the cure. He, peace be upon him, admonished us, in terms of worldly things to always look to those beneath us, for this will keep us thankful. Allah says about the Prophet (Pbuh) that in him we have the best of examples. In terms of showing us how to be thankful to Allah, subhanahu wa ta'ala, he is as Allah says. It is narrated by al-Mughira that the Prophet,(Pbuh) used to stand (in the salah) or performs salah until both his feet or legs swelled. He was asked why (he offered such an unbearable salah) he said, "Should I not be a thankful slave." [Bukhari]As the Prophet (Pbuh) advised us, the best way to stay thankful to Allah is to count His Favours in our lives everyday. For Allah says,"And He gives you all that you ask for. But if you count the favors of Allah, never will you be able to number them. Verily, man is given up to injustice and ingratitude." [The Noble Qur'aan [14:34]This statement of Allah is so true, yet we put so little value on it, and do not take heed.The very fact that we got up this morning, that we can offer the salah that we had breakfast, that we have clothes to wear, water to bathe ourselves, that we have homes to shelter us from the elements, that we have our health, our families, etc., etc., etc., are all favors from Allah, subhanahu wa ta'aala. We should take non of it for granted, or become arrogant enough to believe that we attained any of it because of our own efforts alone.Thankfulness frees the heart from greed, jealousy and envy. When we are thankful to Allah, we remain mindful of Him and His continuos Mercy toward us, and this in return humbles us and improves our characters. The very fact that Allah has guided us to Islam and the sunnah of His Prophet (Pbuh) in itself should be a source of continual praise. Allah says,"Surely We have shown him the way: he may be thankful or unthankful." [The Noble Qur'aan (76:3)]Allah also says that only few of His servants thank Him. Let us then strive to be among these few by keeping our tongues wet with His remembrance and our hearts soft with His praise.
Between life and death
A man slipped down from the brink of a deep well. Fortunately, a plant had grown in the wall of the well, and while falling down his hands clutched a branch of that plant. After the initial shock, he began looking up and down. What he saw, was enough to make him scared. A huge serpent, in the depth of the well, was waiting for him to fall down. Desperately, he decided to remain where he was and then saw, to his horror, that two mice - one black, another white - were busy cutting the root of that plant. He lost his hope. Then he looked up, and his heart was full of hope. He was not very far from the rim of the well and, by a little judicious effort could reach to safety very easily. Then he saw a beehive in that plant. And forgetting his tragic position, he began eating the honey. Of course, the bees did not like it and began stinging him, but he remained oblivious of all the troubles. A short time after, the mice succeeded in cutting the plant down and he fell in the mouth of the serpent. We are that man; this world is that well; the plant in midway is our life; which is being coded away by every passing night and day - the black and white mice; death is the serpent waiting for us. The honey represents the pleasantries of this world, for which we quarrel with other people- the bees, and are bitten by them. What makes our plight more tragic is the fact that rescue is never very far. It just requires a little effort on our path to reach the safety and security provided by the loving care of Allah. We may easily reach to God and be safe forever. Or, on the other hand, we may be destroyed by death. The choice is ours.
The Carpenter
A highly skilled carpenter who had grown old was ready to retire. He told his employer-contractor of his plans to leave the house building business and live a more leisurely life with his family. He would miss the paycheck, but he needed to retire.The employer was sorry to see his good worker go and asked if he could build just one more house as a personal favor. The carpenter agreed to this proposal but made sure that this will be his last project. Being in a mood to retire, the carpenter was not paying much attention to building this house. His heart was not in his work. He resorted to poor workmanship and used inferior materials. It was an unfortunate way to end his career.When the job was done, the carpenter called his employer and showed him the house. The employer handed over some papers and the front door key to the carpenter and said "This is your house, my gift to you."The carpenter was in a shock! What a shame! If he had only known that he was building his own house, he would have made it better than any other house that he ever built! Our situation can be compared to this carpenter. Allah Ta'la has sent us to this world to build our homes in paradise by obeying His commands. Now, we have to decide how well we wish to build the homes where we will live forever.
