QUR'AN IS THE BEST MIRACLE ON EARTH

BismilLaahir Rahmaanir Raheem.

The miracles that were given to the previous prophets and Messengers were such that they would have the greatest impact on that particular Nation.

The people at the time of Moses (PEACE be UPON HIM) excelled in magic and sorcery, so he was given miracles which surpassed all their abilities, as a proof of his prophethood.

The people at the time of Issah, Jesus (PEACE be UPON HIM) excelled in healing and medicine, and he was accordingly given appropriate miracles for that time by Allah to proof to them he was sent as a Prophet to them.

The people at the time of Prophet Muhammad (PEACE be UPON HIM) were masters of language and eloquence - he was sent to them with the Quran.

The powerful effect it had on its listeners, who were skilled practitioners in the art of rhetoric, was unsurpassable till date. It's a living miracle. Few could help but be enchanted by it. It changed the entire Arab Peninsula and still changing the entire world till judgement day.

Because it is the direct speech of ALLAH the Mighty GOD, it is able to connect with the soul for those who sincerely decide to study it.

How can anyone memorize such a volume of pages without missing a dot? That alone is a challenge for anyone or group of people to be able to emulate.

Write your own book say just 20 pages. Try to memorize your own words and story of only the 20 pages then you will notice Qur'an is not just a book or words but rather something that connect with the soul.

It contains true story of the past, present and future. It contains all sorts of rules and regulations to make human being the perfect for this earth and to guide for the hereafter.

May ALLAH increases us in beneficial knowledge of the Qur'an.

Aameen.

Hijab is not compulsory if you're not of the following:

Hijab is not compulsory if you're not of the following:

The Woman Of Jannah Cover Their Bodies To Achieve Success In The Akhirat.

My Dear Beautiful Sisters ... *Do you know that observing the correct hijab is not for all women?*

Yes, covering the whole body is not compulsory for all women, even the Qur'an confirmed it.

◼In Surah al-Ahzab ( Q33, V59), Allah Taala only mentioned 3 types of woman that should observe hijab.

• Firstly - The Wives of Rasool ﷺ (which am very sure you are not among them).

• Secondly - The Daughters of Rasool ﷺ (which am also sure that you are not among).

• And Lastly - The Believing women (i.e. Those women who wish to be among the dwellers of Jannah) and If you are among them, you should cover all your body properly or you may have already started covering yourself Masha Allah.

But if you are not among them - you are free to dress as you like. The choice is yours, but I will pray that Allah protect brothers from the fitnah and protect you from the eyes of wolf, and make you a Muslimah, for you to enjoy the eternal bliss.

NOTE : Hijab does not mean to cover only your hair, and wear any clothes you want, NO !!

That is a big mistake. Proper hijab is to wear a long and loose dress that covers all your body and from head to toe, and the shape of your body does NOT show in it.

May ALLAH Subhanahu wa Ta'ala guide us to understand the proper teachings of the Qur'an and Our Prophet Sallallahu Alayhi wasallam.

Allahumma Ameen.

TEN THOUGHTS TO PONDER

1. Remember that your Lord forgives those who ask Him for forgiveness, and He accepts the repentance of those who repent, and He accepts those who come back to Him.
2. Show mercy to the weak and you will be happy; give to the needy and you will be well; do not bear grudges and you will be healthy.
3. Be optimistic, for Allah is with you, and the angels are praying for forgiveness for you, and Paradise awaits you.
4. Wipe away your tears, think well of your Lord, and chase away your worries by remembering the blessings that Allah
has bestowed upon you.
5. Do not think that this world is ever perfect for anyone. There is no one on the face of the earth who gets all that he wants or is free from all kinds of distress.
6. Be like a tall tree with high aims; if a stone is thrown at it, it simply lets its fruits drop.
7. Have you ever heard that grief brings back what has been lost, or that worry corrects mistakes? So why grieve and worry then?
8. Do not expect trials and calamities, rather expect peace, safety and good health, if Allah wills.
9. Extinguish the flames of hatred from your heart by forgiving everyone who has ever hurt you.
10. Ghusl, siwak and being organized are effective medicines for all kinds of distress and worry.

Don't let your ego to destroy your humanityᰪ

Umm Ma’bad Gives Best Description Ever of Rasūlullāh ﷺ

Umm Ma’bad Gives Best Description Ever of Rasūlullāh

Rasūlullāh ﷺ and Abū Bakr visited a tent. In front of this tent was an old woman, her name was Umm Ma’bad.

She was a very generous woman; anybody who would pass by she would feed them. When Rasūlullāh ﷺ and Abū Bakr got there, she did not provide them with anything, so Rasūlullāh ﷺ asked her if she had anything to spare. she said, “If I had anything, you would not have to ask.”

So Rasūlullāh ﷺ saw in the corner of her tent a very weak goat and he asked her, “What is the problem with that goat?”. She said, “That goat is too weak to go out with the rest of the flock to feed.”

So Rasūlullāh ﷺ asked, “Is there any milk in her?” She said, “She is weaker than that!” Rasūlullāh ﷺ asked, “Will you allow me to milk her?” She said, “Go ahead.” So Rasūlullāh ﷺ goes to milk that goat and he asks for a big container; not a cup [but] a big container.
And then he touches the goat and he starts milking it, and milk is flowing out until it fills the container and all of this foam [is] on top of the milk.

And then he gives it to Umm Ma’bad first, so she drinks, and then he gives it to Abū Bakr and ‘Āmir and ‘Abdulah Bin ‘Uraiqat, and they all drink and he is the last to drink and he said, “The servant of the people is the last to drink,” so he was the last to drink.

And then he left and there was still a lot of milk in that container. So the husband of Umm Ma’bad comes back with his flock of sheep and he sees this milk and he says, “Umm Ma’bad, where did this milk come from?!” She said, “A blessed man visited us and he was the one who milked the she-goat.”

He asked her to describe this man to her.

(Umm Ma’bad gave a description of Rasūlullāh ﷺ that remains until this day as one of the best descriptions ever given about Rasūlullāh ﷺ even though she only met him once, and I will read to you her description of Rasūlullāh ﷺ.)

she said:
*“I saw him to be a man of evident splendour; fine in figure, his face handsome. Slim in form. His head not too small. Elegant and goodlooking. His eyes large and black. His eyelids long. His voice deep. Very intelligent. His brows high and arched. His hair in plaits. His neck long and his beard thick. He gave an impression of dignity when silent, and of high intelligence when he talked. His words were impressive, and he was decisive; not trivial, not trite. His ideas like pearls moving on their string. He seemed the most splendid and fine-looking man from a distance, and the very best of all from close by. Medium in height, the eye not finding him too tall nor too short. A tree branch as it were between two others, but he was the finest looking of the three, the best proportioned. He was the centre of his Companions’ attention; when he spoke, they listened well, and if he ordered, they hurried to obey. A man well-helped, wellserved, never sullen, never refuted.”*

Her husband said,
“This man must be Muhammad, the one whom Quraish are pursuing. If I meet him, I will pledge allegiance to him and become Muslim.”

Now, by the way, Umm Ma’bad did pledge allegiance to Rasūlullāh ﷺ and she became Muslim.

WHAT A WONDERFUL KHUTUBA IN SAUDI ARABIA LAST FRIDAY

☂Surround yourself with Muslims who practice the Deen. They are your only True Friends in this Life and in the Hereafter.

☂Not everybody is out there to judge you, there are some who want the best for you and want to help you get into Al-Jannah, value them.

☂Indeed, a friend who doesn't care about your Aakhirāh is not really your friend.

☂Sometimes the hardest person for you to correct is yourself. There is no shame in being wrong, the shame is in choosing to stay on the wrong path.

☂Whatever takes you NEAR to Allah, takes you AWAY from Hellfire. Whatever takes you AWAY from Allah, takes you CLOSER to Hellfire.

☂We all take tomorrow for granted because we believe tomorrow will always be there. Tomorrow may be there, but we may not!

☂Who said "TOMORROW" is guaranteed? Make the use of "TODAY" that you are blessed with!

☂Yesterday many thought that they would see today, and today many will think they will see tomorrow.

☂Death could be tonight, in the next hour, the next second, yet we live as if we still have so many years to live.

☂You may be rich, famous or have a high status in this dunyah, but to the Angel of Death, you're just another name on the list.

☂Our death and meeting with our Creator is approaching and yet our biggest worry is what are we going to wear tomorrow? ‪#‎in‬ competition

☂One day you'll just be a memory for people, and a lesson to others. Do everything you can to please Allah, be a positive lesson.

☂Just imagine how many people were here with us last year, but are no longer here again! Even our turn is soon approaching. May Allah forgive us an forgive them.

☂We walk with our heads high up in the sky, unaware that one day we'll be trapped 6' Feet under the ground. ‪#‎Reminder‬

☂You look for the latest fashion and designer clothes, but don't forget O' Son of Adam! You will end up being wrapped up in just a white shroud.

☂Live to please the Creator, not the creation. If Allah is happy with us, what more can we ask for?

☂It's sad how we only begin to appreciate blessings, either materialistic things or good people; only after we lose them. When it's too late!? Do we really invest to be like them?

☂You wouldn't throw away a diamond to pick up a rock, so in the same way, don't throw away the Aakhirah (Paradise) by chasing the Dunya (worldly).

☂How do you expect to get Al-Jannah (paradise) when you haven't worked for it in Dunya? That's like expecting to pass an exam you never took a class for.

☂We live in a time where people leave out food in fear of becoming overweight, but cannot leave out sins in fear of Allah!

☂For a believer. — you may be penniless, homeless, unemployed, sick and feel like you have nothing. But you have the One thing that money can't buy: "Allah".

☂Allāh knows what you want, what you need, what you deserve, at what time & what place, trust Him & His decisions (are best for HIS creations), He knows while you don't.

☂If a kaafir celebrity mentioned your name to the world, how happy would you be? Mention ALLAH in a gathering, and He mentions you to the angels!

☂And, make the Q UR'AN your companion and a part of your life. Don't let urself become a stranger to it. The Q UR'AN is like a friend, the longer the friendship lasts the more you will know of its secrets.

☂Don't praise me because I'm on my Deen, but pray for me because I have faults which you have not seen.
Repent
ُ"Truly, ALLAH loves those who repent (the prodigal son), and He loves those who cleanse themselves." [Al-Quran 2:222].

May ALLAH purify our hearts. And peace and blessings of ALLAH be upon our noble Messenger of Allah, MUHAMMAD and his household.

If you care about other people's salvation, then send this message to them. May ALLAH Almighty increase His LIGHT and GUIDANCE in our lives. AMEEN.

Dua for your Parents

Dua for your Parents

“My Lord, have mercy upon them both as they brought me up [when I was] small.”

رَّبِّ ارْحَمْهُمَا كَمَا رَبَّيَانِي صَغِيرًا

Rabbi irhamhumaa kamaa rabbayaanee sagheeraa
(Surah Al-Isra ,verse 24)

Allah says in the Holy Quran:-

23. And your Lord has decreed that you worship none but Him. And that you be dutiful to your parents. If one of them or both of them attain old age in your life, say not to them a word of disrespect, nor reprimand them but address them in terms of honor.
24. And lower unto them the wing of submission and humility through mercy, and say: “My Lord! Bestow on them Your mercy as they did bring me up when I was young.”)

Allah commands us to worship Him alone, with no partner or associate.The idea of worshipping Allah is connected to the idea of honoring one’s parents.

Here He commands good treatment of parents, as He says elsewhere:

Give thanks to Me and to your parents. Unto Me is the final destination
31:14

Do not let them hear anything offensive from you, not even say “Uff!” which is the mildest word of disrespect.

`Ata’ bin Rabah said that it meant, “Do not raise your hand against them.” When Allah forbids speaking and behaving in an obnoxious manner, He commands speaking and behaving in a good manner, so He tells to speak gently, kindly, politely, and with respect and appreciation.

And say: “My Lord! Bestow on them Your Mercy as they did bring me up when I was young.” means, say this when they grow old and when they die. Ibn `Abbas said: ”

But then Allah revealed:
(It is not (proper) for the Prophet and those who believe to ask Allah’s forgiveness for the idolators. ..)” 9:13

There are many Hadiths which speak about honoring one’s parents, such as the Hadith narrated through a number of chains of narration from Anas and others, which states that the Prophet climbed up on the Minbar, and then said, ((Amin, Amin, Amin.)) It was said, “O Messenger of Allah, why did you say Amin” He said: (Jibril came to me and said, “O Muhammad, he is doomed who hears you mentioned and does not say Salaam upon you.” He said, “Say Amin,” so I said Amin. Then he said, “He is doomed who sees the month of Ramadan come and go, and he has not been forgiven.” He said, “Say Amin,” so I said Amin. Then he said, “He is doomed who grows up and both his parents or one of them are still alive, and they do not cause him to enter Paradise.” He said, “Say Amin,” so I said Amin.)

Another Hadith
Imam Ahmad reported from Abu Hurayrah that the Prophet (Peace be upon him) said: (He is doomed, he is doomed, he is doomed, the man whose parents, one or both of them, reach old age while he is alive and he does not enter Paradise.) This version is Sahih although no one recorded it other than Muslim.

Another Hadith
Imam Ahmad recorded Mu`awiyah bin Jahimah As-Salami saying that Jahimah came to the Prophet and said: “O Messenger of Allah, I want to go out to fight and I have come to seek your advice.” He said,
(Do you have a mother) He said, “Yes.” The Prophet said, (Then stay with her, for Paradise is at her feet.) Similar incidents were also recorded by others. This was recorded by An-Nasa’i and Ibn Majah.

Another Hadith

Imam Ahmad recorded that Al-Miqdam bin Ma`dikarib said that the Prophet said:
(Allah enjoins you concerning your fathers, Allah enjoins you concerning your mothers,
Allah enjoins you concerning your mothers,
Allah enjoins you concerning your mothers,
Allah enjoins you concerning your close relatives then the next in closeness.)

This was recorded by Ibn Majah from the Hadith of `Abdullah bin `Ayyash.

◼Another Hadith

Ahmad recorded that a man from Banu Yarbu` said: “I came to the Prophet while he was talking to the people, and I heard him saying, (The hand of the one who gives is superior. (Give to) your mother and your father, your sister and your brother, then the closest and next closest.)”
