بِسْمِ اللهِ الَّذِي لَا يَضُرُّ مَعَ اسْمِهِ شَيْءٌ فِي الْأَرْضِ وَلَا فِي السَّمَاءِ وَهُوَ السَّمِيعُ الْعَلِيمُ” In the Name of Allah, Who with His Name nothing can cause harm in the earth nor in the heavens, and He is the All-Hearing, the All-Knowing To be recited three times Brief Commentary The Prophet (SallaAllahu ‘alayhi wasallam) said that reciting this supplication...

Our Hearts Die By Way of 10 Things Ibraaheem bin Aadam (may Allah have mercy upon him) was passing by the market place of al-Basrah and the people gathered around him and said: “Oh father of Ishaaq, why is it that we supplicate but our supplications are not answered?” He said: “That’s because your hearts have died by way of 10 things!” They said: “What are they?!” He said: (1) You know Allah but you haven’t fulfilled His right (over you). (2) You claimed you love the Messenger of Allah (sallallaahu ‘alayhi wa sallam), then you abandoned his Sunnah. (3) You have read/recited the Qur’aan but you didn’t implement it. (4) You have eaten (from) the favor of Allah (upon you) but didn’t fulfill showing gratitude for it. (5) You said: Indeed the Shaytaan is your enemy but you agreed with him (by obeying him when he calls you to do evil). (6) You said: Indeed the Paradise is the truth but you didn’t work for it...

Don't label or call anyone Shaheed or Martyr ⚡ We cannot and should not label anyone as "Shaheed" (martyr) with surety, except those for whom Allaah declared/confirmed their martyrdom in the Qur'aan or through His Prophet in the Sunnah; for all others, we can only pray that Allaah accepts them as "Shaheed". For we live in an age where the title of “Shaheed” (martyr) is given to anyone and everyone in wholesale. The one who kills himself is called a “Shaheed”; the one who blows-up himself is called a “Shaheed”; the one who is killed while confronting the military of his own country is labeled as “Shaheed”; the one who abandoned his prayer but was killed in a demonstration/rally is labeled as “Shaheed”. It becomes worse when at the death of some people are seen rushing to praise him/her. Allaah’s help is sought and to Him we complain. Narrated Umm al-`Alaa’: When the Ansaar drew lots as to which of the Muhaa...

⚡More evidence that it is allowed to pray at home and abandon the congregation when there is Shar`ee need or excuse, even if the people dislike it 🌟Hadeeth #1: Imaam al-Bukhaaree mentioned the chapter heading: “Chapter: Not to attend the Jumu`ah prayer if it is raining." Narrated Muhammad Ibn Seereen: On a rainy day Ibn `Abbqas رضي الله عنهما said to his Muadh-dhin: “After saying: “Ash-hadu anna Muhammadar-Rasoolullaah” (I testify that Muhammad is Allaah's Messenger ﷺ), do not say: “Haiya `Alas-Salaah” (come for the prayer) but say: “Pray in your houses.” (The man did so). But the people disliked it. Ibn `Abbaas said: “It was done by one who was much better than I (i.e. the Prophet ﷺ). No doubt, the Jumu`ah prayer is compulsory but I dislike to put you to task by bringing you out walking in mud and slush.” 📚[Saheehain...

*Reward of staying indoor during the outbreak of pandemic*. It has been reported from the Prophet that whosoever remains in his house during the outbreak of an epidemic, will have the reward of a martyr even if he doesn't die (from the outbreak). Meanwhile, the narration was reported authentically from Aaishah, the Mother of the Believers (May Allaah be pleased with her) that she said: I asked the Messenger of Allaah (peace and blessings be upon him) about an epidemic. Then the Messenger of Allaah informed me that an epidemic is a punishment which Allaah descends upon whom He likes but rather a mercy upon the Believers. And there is no one whom a epidemic strikes in his land but remains patiently in his house expecting Allaah's reward upon his self-restraint while knowing that nothing will afflict him except what Allaah had predestined except that he will have for himself the similitude of the reward of a martyr. The chain of transmission is authentic according to the stipu...

With all the *debates* around whether the mosque remain *open or not*, we may find people with emotions and emaan rush fighting tooth and nail to keep the mosque open, may Allaah increase in his emotions for goodness. Some may support him while others may oppose. All we need to do is *keep our opinions to ourselves and obey what is decided by the elders (or leaders of the community in whatever form they are [president, chairmen, ameer]), scholars and the government (Yes!! The government).* And while we obey them we do not forget that it is upon us to obey the commandments of Allah, especially the ayah : *وَأَقِيمُوا الصَّلَاةَ وَآتُوا الزَّكَاةَ وَارْكَعُوا مَعَ ا...

The foundation of Shirk are two: 1️⃣ Extreme veneration or love for someone or something: 🌟Narrated `Umar رضي الله عنه: I heard the Prophet ﷺ saying: ❝Do not exaggerate in praising me as the Christians praised (Eesaa) Ibn Maryam, for I am only a Slave. So, call me the Slave of Allaah and His Messenger.❞ 📚 [Saheeh al-Bukhaaree (3445 & 6830)] 🌟Another evidence is the narration of Ibn `Abbaas رضي الله عنهما, as reported in Saheeh al-Bukhaaree, where he explained how Shirk had started in the people of Nooh عليه السلام. All those idols that were worshiped were of righteous people. ➡️ The Hindus love of wealth made them worship Laxmi, the "goddess" of wealth. 2️⃣ Fear of something: Shaitaan إِ...

O you who believe! If a Faasiq (evil person) comes to you with any news, verify it, lest you should harm people in ignorance, and afterwards you become regretful for what you have done” [Holy Quran al-Hujuraat 49:6] Ask the people in charge The people in charge can explain the facts of the matter and remove any confusion or doubts a person may have, “When there comes to them some matter touching (public) safety or fear, they make it known (among the people); if only they had referred it to the Messenger or to those charged with authority among them, the proper investigators would have understood it from them (directly). Had it not been for the Grace and Mercy of Allaah upon you, you would have followed Shaytaan (Satan), save a few of you” [al-Nisaa’ :83] “Not a word is said except that there is a watcher by him ready to record it.” – [Surah Qaf :18] The Prophet (Sal Allaahu Alaiyhi wa Sallam) said: “Deliberation is from Allaah and h...

Surah As-Sajda, Verse 21: وَلَنُذِيقَنَّهُم مِّنَ الْعَذَابِ الْأَدْنَىٰ دُونَ الْعَذَابِ الْأَكْبَرِ لَعَلَّهُمْ يَرْجِعُونَ And indeed We will make them taste of the Penalty of this (life) prior to the supreme Penalty, in order that they may (repent and) return.
