Effortless Charity that helps one to increase his/her good deeds!!

Today morning I met two young and beautiful girls who were leaving to their secondary school where I smiled at them but they refused to return a smile to me which is not that costly. Then I had thought of those old days where people who even don't know the languages and are not known to each other or from a different culture; used smile at us and everyone had the habit of returning the smile which made the world and the days beautiful and positive. I think the world became a place where collecting material things have become the priority over everything and are always busy with their world and refused to give others even a small charity "Smile".

The believer according to the teaching of Islam must be good-natured, treat others kindly, be gentle, be cheerful, and feel at ease with people. He should be neither harsh and rough nor soft and foolish; he should not seek to please people by doing that which incurs the wrath of Allah, and he should not fear the blame of anyone for the sake of Allah. Righteousness should not prevent him from smiling or having a sense of humour and the ability to joke, and it should not prompt him to be isolated from people and refrain from mixing with them; rather he mixes with people, greets them, smiles at them these are the list of thing which is expected by Allah and His Messenger from the true believer!

May Allah help us attain these beautiful characteristics

Smile "It is a Sunnah" At-Tirmidhi (1956) narrated that Abu Dharr said: The Messenger of Allah (blessings and peace of Allah be upon him) said: “Your smiling at your brother is an act of charity.” Classed as saheeh by al-Albaani in Saheeh at-Tirmidhi.

Abu Dharr reported: The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said "Do not regard any good deed insignificant, even meeting your brother with a cheerful face" Source: Sahih Muslim 2626, Grade Sahih

Charity, as it is traditionally understood, consists of money or various objects given by the rich to help the poor or by the strong to help the weak.But Islam beautifies its meaning as"Charity has a physical and a spiritual dimension which are thus fused into one so that a person can say in giving charity: Take this Money or take this helping hand or take this feeling!"

Jabir ibn Abdullah reported: The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said:Every good deed is charity. Verily, it is a good deed to meet your brother with a smiling face, and to pour what is left from your bucket into the vessel of your brother.Source: Sunan At-Tirmidhi 1970, Grade Sahih

Jabir ibn Abdullah reported:Ever since I embraced Islam the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, would never avoid me and I would not see him except with a smile on his face.Source: Sahih Muslim 2475, Grade sahih

Abdullah ibn Al-Harith reported:I have not seen anyone smile more often than the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him.Source: Sunan al-Tirmidhi 3641, Grade hasan

Narrated from Abu Hurayrah (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Prophet (blessings and peace of Allah be upon him) said: “Verily you cannot afford to make people happy with your wealth, but you can make them happy with you by means of a cheerful face and good attitude.” Classed as hasan by al-Albaani in Saheeh at-Targheeb (2661).

The Prophet Muhammad [PBUH] said: "Do not abuse anyone, do not look down upon any good work, and when you speak to your brother, show him a cheerful face."[Sunan of Abu-Dawood, Hadith 1889]

Al-Bukhaari (6035) and Muslim (2321) narrated from ‘Abdullah ibn ‘Amr that the Messenger of Allah (blessings and peace of Allah be upon him) said: “Verily the best of you are those who are best in attitude.”

From above Ahadeeths it is more clear “Your smiling at your brother is an act of charity.” So Let us beautify the world with our smile and gain reward

Countless scientific studies have confirmed that a genuine smile is generally considered attractive to others around us. Other studies have shed light on how the act of smiling can elevate your mood and the mood of those around you. Still. others have found a strong link between good health, longevity, and smiling. Most importantly, studies have shown that just the act of smiling (making the physical facial shapes and movements), whether the result of real joy or an act, can have both short- and long-term benefits on people's health and well being.

May Allah accept our efforts and make us of the best people!

Islam is the best.

"These verses are not recited for three nights in any home except that no devil can come near it" Prophet Muhammad (SAW))

Virtues of Suratul Baqarah

Last two verses are so special as it is a part of Surah baqara. This two hadeeth is more than enough to understand the virtue of surah al baqarah!

It is narrated by Hazrat Abu Hurairah (R.A) that that the Messenger of Allah (S.A.W.) said:

"Do not turn your houses into graves. Indeed Ash-Shaitan (Devil/Satan) does not enter the house in which Surah Al Baqarah is recited." (Tirmidhi: 2877)

It is narrated by Hazrat An-Nawwas bin Saman (R.A) that the Prophet (S.A.W.) said: "The Quran shall come, and its people who acted according to it in the world. Surah Al-Baqarah and Surah Al-Imran shall be in front of it. They will come as if they are two shades between which there is the illumination, or as if they are two shady clouds, or as if they are shadows of lines of birds arguing on behalf of their people." (Tirmidhi: 2883)

Virtues of Last Two Verses of Suratul Baqarah

The last two Ayats of Surah Baqarah are two of the most important verses of the Quran. Every verse is precious and important, but sometimes, you get verses like this that have so much importance attached to them by Allah (ta’ala) Himself and his messenger (S.A.W.) approved it!

From Ibn ‘Abbas ” who said: “While Jibra’eel (Gibrael) ” `May Peace be upon him’ was sitting with the Prophet, he heard the opening of a gate above him. So he raised his head and said: `This is a gate from the skies that has opened today, which has never opened before this day.’ So an angel descended from it (the gate). So he Jibra’eel ” said: “This is an angel that has descended to the earth, which has never descended except today. He gave Salam and said: ‘Receive glad tidings (Oh Muhammad!) with two lights which have been given to you, that have never been given to a Prophet before you: The Opening of the Book (i.e. Surat Al- Fatihah) and the end of Surat Al-Baqarah. Never do you read a letter from either of the two (Surahs) except that you are given it. (Which means that you are given its reward (i.e. the reward of recitation)) (Reported by Muslim) (Taken from Mukhtasar Sahih Muslim with Shaykh AI-Albani’s editing, p.553, Hadith no. 2094.)

“Verily, Allah Wrote a Book one thousand years before He created the Heavens and the Earth; from this Book descended the last two verses of ‘al-Baqarah.’ These verses are not recited for three nights in any home except that no devil can come near it.”[‘Sahih al-Jami”; # 1799]

Abu Mas’ud reported: The Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, said, “Whoever recites the last two verses of Surat al-Baqarah in the night, it is enough for him.”Source: Ṣaḥīḥ al-Bukhārī 4723, Ṣaḥīḥ Muslim 807

Imaam Ahmad reported in his Musnad from Abu Dharr (radiyallaahu ‘anhu) that the Prophet (salallaahu ‘alaihi wassallam) said: “I was given the last two verses from Sooratul-Baqarah from the treasure that is just beneath the Throne that was not given to a Prophet before me.”(No. 21564, Saheeh li-ghairihi, authentic due to supporting reports).
