Honor of Being a Student of Knowledge!!

Assalamu Alaikum warahmathullahi wa barakathuhu my dear readers (Brothers and Sisters in islam) I am writing this article as I find most of us are not aware of importance of seeking knowledge, If we ask someone among us to seek beneficial knowledge they say "we know how to pray,that is enough" and they ignore our request, some others they say it is not that important. Lets check how important it is to seek knowledge through the words of Allah and sayings of prophet Muhammad (pbuh).

• The first verse of Quran was "Read" 

which shows the learning is so important to understand the creator which leads to worshipping the creator“Read!in the name of thy Lord and Cherisher, Who created – Created man, out of a (mere) clot of congealed blood: Proclaim! And thy Lord is Most Bountiful, He Who taught (the use of) the pen, Taught man that which he knew not” [Quran, 96:1-5].

• It is our duty to seek knowledge

Anas ibn Malik reported: The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon Seeking knowledge is an obligation upon every Muslim(Sunan Ibn Mājah)

• Allah guide them to the Straight path

This should be every muslims Dua to ask Allah to guide them in the Straight path.That is one of the Dua we say at least 17 times in our prayer when Surah al Fathiha is recited.
“And those who strive in Our (cause), – We will certainly guide them to our Paths: For verily Allah is with those who do right” [Quran, 29:69].

• Allah Almighty raised the ranks of true people of knowledge
  

Elevated their status revealing the importance of knowledge and people bearing it,
God will raise up, by many degrees, those of you who believe and those who have been given knowledge: He is fully aware of what you do. [Qur’an, 58:11]

• Makes the path to Paradise easy for him

The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said:Whoever takes a path upon which to obtain knowledge, Allah makes the path to Paradise easy for him (Bukhari and Muslim).click to read about Paradise

• To be in on the way of Allah (fee sabeel)

Anas ibn Malik reported: The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said:Whoever goes out seeking knowledge is in the way of Allah until he returns.(Sunnan at thirmidhi)

• Allah directed Rasoolulluah to Pray to increase the knowledge!

Knowledge is among the most important things as Allah (SWT) directed Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) to pray to increase the knowledge. Allah (SWT) says in the Holy Qur’an: "And say: My Lord, increase me in knowledge." (Qur’an 20:114)

• Beneficial knowledge can bless us more rewarding even after our death 

Prophet Muhammad (SAW) said: “When a man dies all his deeds come to an end except for three: an ongoing charity, beneficial knowledge and a righteous son who prays for him.” (Al-Bukhari)

• Make us feel more humble before the greatness of the creation of Allah (SWT).

“It is only those who have knowledge among His servants that fear Allah." (Qur’an 35:28)

• To guard ourselves against the evil

“…they could devote themselves to studies in religion, and admonish the people when they return to them, – that thus they (may learn) to guard themselves (against evil)” [Quran, 9:122].

• To receive blessings of angels, inhabitant of heavens and the earth!!

We need to learn to teach others good which can bring blessings of angels and inhabitant of heavens and the earth!!The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said: The virtue of the scholar over the worshiper is like my virtue over the least of you. Verily, Allah, his angels, the inhabitants of the heavens and earth, even the ant in his hole and the fish, send blessings upon the one who teaches people what is good.(Tirmidhi)

• Rasullulah loved seeking of knowledge

Sa’d ibn Abi Waqqas reported: The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said:The virtue of knowledge is more beloved to me than the virtue of worship, and the best of your religion is piety.al-Ādāb lil-Bayhaqī 

Alhamdullilah i have listed few virtues of seeking knowledge. Hope you benefited from this article and please share your knowledge with your friend too.

ECLIPS a Warning!!

Praise be to Allah who has bestowed on us the grace of the sun and moon, Peace be upon our prophet Muhammad the best of those who carried the message for human beings, and peace be upon his family, companions and upon all those who feared standing before their Lord....

What is the Islamic view on Eclipse?

Allah's Apostle said, "The sun and the moon are two signs amongst the signs of Allah. They do not eclipse because of someone's death or life. So when you see them, invoke Allah and pray till the eclipse is clear." [Agreed upon and this exact narration is for Muslim]

"The sun eclipsed at the life-time of Allah's Apostle on the day when (his son) Ibrahim died. So the people said that the sun had eclipsed because of the death of Ibrahim. Allah's Apostle said, "The sun and the moon do not eclipse because of the death or life (i.e. birth) of some-one. When you see the eclipse pray and invoke Allah." [Al-Bukhari]

He (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said: “The sun and the moon are two of the signs of Allaah; they do not become eclipsed for the death or life of anyone. If you see that then call upon Allaah and magnify Him, and pray, and give in charity.”

When an eclipse happened, mumins would be afraid that is a warning of impending disaster, so they would turn to Allaah and pray to Him to ward off that which they feared. The scholars also explained that an eclipse may be a sign or a cause of something bad happening to people. People do not necessarily know of the events which Allaah causes to happen at the time of an eclipse, and some people may know about that whilst others do not ,but Surely Allah the creater of the universe is aware of everything.

Solar and lunar eclipses are two of the signs of Allaah with which He scares His slaves and reminds them of some of the things which will happen on the Day of Resurrection,

فَإِذَا بَرِقَ ٱلْبَصَرُ ٧ وَخَسَفَ ٱلْقَمَرُ ٨ وَجُمِعَ ٱلشَّمْسُ وَٱلْقَمَرُ ٩ يَقُولُ ٱلْإِنسَـٰنُ يَوْمَئِذٍ أَيْنَ ٱلْمَفَرُّ ١٠
And the sight will be dazed, the moon will be eclipsed and the sun and moon will be joined together (by going into one another, or folded up, or deprived of their light) Man will say on that Day, "Where is the [place of] escape?" (al-Qiyaamah 75:8-9).

إِذَا ٱلشَّمْسُ كُوِّرَتْ ١ وَإِذَا ٱلنُّجُومُ ٱنكَدَرَتْ ٢

when the sun will be wound round and will lose its light and be overthrown and the stars will fall (cf. al-Takweer 81:1&2)

The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) used to fear Allaah very much, and one day he came out in an agitated state, thinking that the Hour had begun, when the sun was eclipsed during his lifetime.

What is requested from every Muslim at the time solar or lunar eclipse?

Allah's Apostle said, "The sun and the moon do not eclipse because of the death or life (i.e. birth) of some-one. When you see the eclipse pray and invoke Allah." [Al-Bukhari]

In another narration:" so pray whenever you see them." [Narrated by Muslim]

"when you see the eclipse, remember Allah and say Takbir (to say Allah Akbar), pray and give Sadaqa (charity)." [Al-Bukhari]

The solar and lunar eclipse (kosoof) prayer.

· It is better to be prayed in congregational prayer in the mosque as the prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) did.

· It is prayed without Azan (call to prayer) or Iqama.

· It is a sunnah to prolong the recitation (of the holy Quran) during prayer.

· It is also a sunnah to prolong the bowing and prostration.

· The Imam delivers two khuttba (sermon) after prayer.

Remember Allah and Praise Him

Magnify Him and Glorify Him 

Say Takbeer

Don't just consider it as just a natural event or known simple event... Let's follow the footsteps of Rasollullah to be among the successful 🤲🏻🤲🏻

You will be beautiful as the full Moon💌 May Allah accept our Good deeds 🤲

 "The first group to enter Paradise will be as beautiful as the full moon. They will not spit, blow their noses or excrete. Their vessels will be fo gold, their combs of gold and silver, their incense o aloe, and their sweat of musk. Each of them will have two wives, the marrow of whose leg-bones will be visible through their flesh because of their extreme beauty. There will be no differences or hatred among them (the people of Paradise); their hearts will be as one, and they will glorify Allah (swt) morning and evening".

 (Kitaab Bid' al-Khalq, Baab Ma Jaa' fi Sifaat al-Jannah, Fath al-Baari, 6/318; Muslim

Importance of learning the Seerah of ProphetMuhammad ﷺ ?

Allaah SubhaanaHu wa Ta'ala Says, "Indeed in the Messenger of Allaah (Muhammad ﷺ) you have a good example to follow for him who hopes in (the Meeting with) Allaah and the Last Day and remembers Allaah much". [Al-Ahzab, Ayah 21]

A few benefits of studying the Seerah may be summarised as follows: (By Shaykh Arshad Abu Jafar حفظه الله)

1. Seerah is an explanation of how to live Islam and apply it correctly. If one seeks to understand the Quran, it is necessary to study the Seerah.

2. The more you know about a person, the more you love them. When we study the Seerah of the Prophet (ﷺ), we love him more, and respect him on a deeper level.

3. Strengthening our belief and resolve. Knowing the status of who we are following will prevent doubts from entering our hearts.

4. Beyond purely Islamic lessons, the Seerah is filled with wisdom and morals. It teaches us how to interact in a smart and constructive way with those who love us, those who hate us, those who are close to us, those who have rights upon us, those who are less fortunate than us, and so on. The Seerah is applicable in many situations.

5. Similar to the previous point, the Seerah is a rich source of guidance for all members of society because the Prophet (ﷺ) fulfilled many roles simultaneously and balanced them perfectly. In modern terms, he (ﷺ) was a father, husband, political leader, counsellor in all affairs, teacher of Quran and fiqh, devout worshipper in his own time, and so on and so forth. As a result, everyone can learn something from the Seerah.

 May Allaah help us learn more about our Prophet (ﷺ) and emulate his example in each and every field of life.

Jannah is my motive that make me love righteous deeds!!! (Part 1)

Assalamualaikum, wa rahmatullahi wa barakatuhu,

Hope everyone is fine and healthier with the help of Allah. Alhamdullilah we are blessed to be guided by our master (Raab) by best way of life that is Islam. May Allah accept all our good deeds and make us among the Salihoon the righteous one. As Muslims, we all have a big dream which is to enter the Jannah.

The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said, "Leave the people to do deeds, for verily in Paradise there are a hundred levels, what is between every two levels is like what is between the heavens and the earth. Al-Firdaus is the highest of Paradise and its most expansive, and above that is the Throne of Ar-Rahman (the Most Merciful), and from it, the rivers of Paradise are made to flow forth. So when you ask Allah, ask Him for Al-Firdaus."

And we as Believers that is Our Goal & Hope and will work for it in sha Allah!!As messenger of Allah said "The world is the believer’s prison and the disbeliever’s paradise". As we are in a world  which is filled with desires and love, greed, jealousy etc... Paradise is expensive merchandise, and al-Firdaws al-A‘la is the highest and best part of Paradise. 

Allah says in Surah Nisa verse 123 and 124 : It [i.e., Paradise] is not [obtained] by your wishful thinking nor by that of the People of the Scripture. Whoever does a wrong will be recompensed for it, and he will not find besides Allah a protector or a helper. And whoever does righteous deeds, whether male or female, while being a believer - those will enter Paradise and will not be wronged, [even as much as] the speck on a date seed.(4:123-124)

In another hadeethIt was narrated that Abu Hurayrah (may Allah be pleased with him) said:The Messenger of Allah (blessings and peace of Allah be upon him) said: “Paradise is surrounded with difficulties and Hell is surrounded with desires.” Agreed upon. 

So as believers we are supposed to work harder and smarter to reach it.Today I am here to write an article that will contain a few Quran verses and authentic ahadeeth that will help us understand certain good deeds which could help us with our Jannah goal Insha Allah.

Belief in Allah and in His Messengers

“Verily! Those who believe (in the Oneness of Allah Islamic Monotheism) and do righteous deeds, shall have the Gardens of Al-Firdaws (the Paradise) for their entertainment” [al-Kahf 18:107].

It was narrated from Abu Sa’eed al-Khudri (may Allaah be pleased with him) that the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said: “The people of Paradise will be able to see the people in the apartments above them as you see the shining stars on the horizon in the east and the west, because of the differences in their status.” They said: “O Messenger of Allaah, is that the status of the Prophets which no one else will reach besides them?” He said: “No, by the One in Whose hand is my soul, they are men who had faith in Allaah and believed in the Messengers.” Narrated by al-Bukhaari, 2082; Muslim, 2831.

Narrated 'Ubada:The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "If anyone testifies that None has the right to be worshipped but Allah Alone Who has no partners, and that Muhammad is His Slave and His Apostle, and that Jesus is Allah's Slave and His Apostle and His Word which He bestowed on Mary and a Spirit created by Him, and that Paradise is true, and Hell is true, Allah will admit him into Paradise with the deeds which he had done even if those deeds were few." (Junada, the sub-narrator said, " 'Ubada added, 'Such a person can enter Paradise through any of its eight gates he likes.")

Abu Sa‘eed al-Khudri (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (blessings and peace of Allah be upon him) said: “O Abu Sa‘eed, whoever is content with Allah as his Lord, Islam as his religion and Muhammad (blessings and peace of Allah be upon him) as his Prophet, Paradise is guaranteed for him.” Abu Sa‘eed wondered at that and said: Say it to me again, O Messenger of Allah. He did that, then he said: “And there is something else by means of which a person will be raised one hundred levels in Paradise, and the distance between each two levels is like the distance between heaven and earth.” He said: What is it, O Messenger of Allah? He said: “Jihad for the sake of Allah, jihad for the sake of Allah.” Muslim narrated in his Saheeh (1884) Sahih al-Bukhari 3435

Do righteous actions for Sake of Allah

And whoever does righteous deeds, whether male or female, while being a believer - those will enter Paradise and will not be wronged, [even as much as] the speck on a date seed.(4:123-124)

Narrated Abu Aiyub:A man said to the Prophet (ﷺ) "Tell me of such a deed as will make me enter Paradise." The people said, "What is the matter with him? What is the matter with him?" The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "He has something to ask. (What he needs greatly) The Prophet (ﷺ) said: (In order to enter Paradise) you should worship Allah and do not ascribe any partners to Him, offer prayer perfectly, pay the Zakat and keep good relations with your Kith and kin." Sahih al-Bukhari 1396

Forgiveness and Mercy of Allah

Narrated `Aisha:The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "Do good deeds properly, sincerely and moderately, and receive good news because one's good deeds will not make him enter Paradise." They asked, "Even you, O Allah's Messenger (ﷺ)?" He said, "Even I, unless and until Allah bestows His pardon and Mercy on me."Sahih al-Bukhari 6467

Narrated Abu Huraira:I heard Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) saying, "The good deeds of any person will not make him enter Paradise." (i.e., None can enter Paradise through his good deeds.) They (the Prophet's companions) said, 'Not even you, O Allah's Messenger (ﷺ)?' He said, "Not even myself, unless Allah bestows His favor and mercy on me." So be moderate in your religious deeds and do the deeds that are within your ability: and none of you should wish for death, for if he is a good doer, he may increase his good deeds, and if he is an evil doer, he may repent to Allah."

Sincere Dua

Anas bin Malik narrated that the Messenger of Allah (s.a.w) said:
"Whoever asks Allah (s.w.t) Paradise three times, Paradise says: 'O Allah, admit him into Paradise', and whoever seeks refuge from the Fire three times, the Fire says: 'O Allah, save him from the Fire.'"

It was narrated that Anas bin Malik said:
"The Messenger of Allah [SAW] said: 'Whoever asks Allah for Paradise three times, Paradise will say: 'O Allah, admit him to Paradise.' And whoever seeks protection from Hell three times, Hell will say: 'O Allah, protect him from the Fire.'" Sunan an-Nasa'i 5521 (Sahih)

Recite this Simple dua!!

‘Umar reported God’s messenger as saying that if anyone says on entering the market, “There is no god but God alone who has no partner, to whom belongs the dominion, to whom praise is due, who gives life and causes death while He is living and does not die, in whose hand is good, and who is omnipotent,”

 لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللَّهُ وَحْدَهُ لَا شَرِيكَ لَهُ لَهُ الْمُلْكُ وَلَهُ الْحَمْدُ يُحْيِي وَيُمِيتُ وَهُوَ حَيٌّ لَا يَمُوتُ بِيَدِهِ الْخَيْرُ وَهُوَ عَلَى كُلِّ شَيْءٍ قَدِيرٌ

Laa ilaaha illallaahu wahdahu laa shareeka lahu, lahul-mulku wa lahul-hamdu, yuhyee wa yumeetu, wa Huwa hayyun laa yamootu, biyadihil-khayru, wa Huwa alaa kulli shayin Qadeer.

God will record for him a million good deeds, obliterate from him a million evil deeds, raise him a million degrees, and build him a house in paradise.Mishkat al-Masabih 2431

These Beautiful Qualities

The Prophet (ﷺ) said: I guarantee a house in the surroundings of Paradise for a man who avoids quarrelling even if he were in the right, a house in the middle of Paradise for a man who avoids lying even if he were joking, and a house in the upper part of Paradise for a man who made his character good.

Allah knows the best and we ask Allah to guide us to the correct path!!! Insha Allah will continue with more Tips in sha Allah.
