DON’T LISTEN TO MUSIC IN AND OUT OF RAMADAN

Why did you say that?
Because music is HARAM!!!
Did you say Haram? Is it not a Makrooh?
No! Music falls under the category of haram.
What’s your proof?

In Surah Luqman Verse 6, Allah says
“Waminnassi manyashtaril lahwal hadith liyudilla an
sabillillah”
Among men are those who purchase idle talks to mislead men from the path of Allah.
The word lahwal hadith according to Ibne Mas`ood, the four Khalifas, the eminent Sahabaah, the Tabi`een, the four Imaams and other reliable Islamic scholars and authorities have agreed that it is referred to as al-ghina or music.
In Sahih al-Bukhari, Vol 7, the book of drinks
no 5590 reported by Abu Malik Al-Ashari that…
`There will be people of my Ummah who will seek to make lawful; fornication, wine-drinking and the use
of ma`aazif (musical instruments ).`
Seeking to make lawful means they are all unlawful.
So from the verse and the hadith, the four imams
unanimously agreed that music is haram.

But what is Haram about Music?
1) Singing and listening to music is haram
The Prophet said:
Istimahul malahi maa asiyatun – to listen is a major crime
Waljulusu alayha fisqun – to sit in a gathering of
music is an open violation to Allah
Wataladhuzu biya kufrun – to derive pleasure out of music is kafur
The Prophet blocked his ears while he was walking and heard music playing.

2) Purchasing of male and female singers is haram
Ayesha RA narrates that the Prophet (S) said that
Almighty Allah has made unlawful the trade in
singing slave maids, their training and listening to their songs.

3) Purchase of instruments for fun and amusement.
Akramah RA said the Prophet (S) said that;
“Almighty Allah has raised me to destroy flute and the drum.”

But Music has benefits?
Yes it does, just as Allah says that there is benefit
in the drinking of alcohol so also is music. Some
says music is food for the soul without which
existence is impossible.
Music makes them feel loved, forget about their
problems, relaxes their mind, feel high etc.
But have you ever thought about the negative impact of music?

THE NEGATIVE EFFECTS OF MUSIC
1. Music takes you away from the remembrance of
Allah because Music and Qur’an can’t sit in the
heart at the same time.

2. A waste of precious time: Research proved that an average youth spend at least five hours a day listening to music:

3. It is an audio pornography that makes you lose you moral senses – use of vulgar, shameless and violent words.

4. Music leads to zina: as it arouses the sexual
desires. The Holy Prophet (S) said," Singing is a ladder to Adultery."

5. Music is a degradation to the status of women
Islam: Just look at the video clips.

6. Leads to hypocrisy and deprives you from the Rahmah of Allah - Ibn Qayyin Al Jawziyya says that music in one’s heart makes one move away from Allah’s Rahmah. Imam Ja’far As-Sadiq (a.s.) said:
"Music is the nest of hypocrisy."

7. Takes away the imam like the fire takes away
the bush in the harmattan season.

8. Music is the primary cause for calamities in the dunia: jinn attacks, earth quakes etc. Prophet said that when my Ummah will take fifteen habits, calamities will befall them and among them is
music listening.
Sahl Bin Saad narrates that Holy Prophet (S) said,
"Submersion below the surface of the earth, raining of stones from the sky and mutilation of figures shall come about in my ummat." The companions asked, "O the Prophet of Allah when shall it happen?" The Prophet (S) there upon said:" When
musical instruments shall be in abundance and there shall be a large number of singing girls and shall be unlawful."
Ali RA said,"And music and songs give rise to
hypocrisy and is one of the ways leading towards
poverty and hunger.

9. It creates a temporal illusion of madness and
sometimes permanent madness because of the
tension in the brain. It is an intoxicant and one is
unaware of his immediate environment.

10. It create nervous breakdown and even stomach ulcers discovered in France in 1957

11. It has led to lots of violence and deaths: The
daily ‘Kayhan’ (Tehran), No 6626, published a news of the Reuter Agency: About 50,000 youths had gathered in Melbourne (Australia) for a musical concert. The concert overwhelmed them so much that they started assaulting each other with fists and knives. Many were seriously injured; some
girls were molested.

12. Leads to Deafness: Experts says that prolonged exposure to a noise level above 85 decibels will eventually result in a reduction of hearing acuity in
the frequency range most important for understanding the human speech. Dr. Charles Lebo, of the Pacific Medical Centre took measuring
instruments into two San Francis co dance halls
where the cacophony from amplified instruments
caused sound intensity from 100 to 119 decibels in the low frequency range.

13. Will be deprived of listening to the beautiful voice of Allah - Prophet (S) said," Molten lead will be put in the ears of that person who listens attentively to music and songs”.

14. Music has no barakah and it will never increase your Islamic knowledge… all the songs in the world
couldn’t be compared to Alif, Laam, Meem in
barakah would not be equivalent to them.

CONCLUSION
I conclude with this story:
Hassan (a companion of Imam Ja’far As-Sadiq a.s.) said: There was a man in my neighbourhood who
had singing girls and he always remained immersed in music and dance. When I went to W.C., I used to stay a bit longer (to listen to those sounds). When I went to Imam Ja’far As-Sadiq (a.s.), he told me: O
Hasan, Verily the ear, and the eye and the heart, all
of them will be asked. The ear and what it listened to, the eye and what it looked at and the heart and what it intended."
Hasan says: When I heard that Ayat of the Qur’an, it was as though I had never heard it before. Then I repented (from my sin of listening to music) and made a convent with Allah not to do it again.
The Imam (a.s.) said: "Stand up have bath and pray to Allah as much as you wish. How bad would have been your position if you had died with this habit. Repent before Allah and ask His forgiveness for every evil because Allah does not dislike but evil, leaves evil for evil people because for everything
are its people.
Prophet says Allah will call those who forgo music for His sake and give them Hur’ains to entertain them.

Respected brothers and sisters in Islam, let’s use
this Ramadan to end the fitnah of music in our lives. I ask Allah to forgive us for we knew not!

The Protected Roof

The atmosphere only lets rays required for life
reach the Earth. Ultraviolet rays, for example,
make it to the world only partially. This is the
most appropriate range to allow plants to make
photosynthesis and eventually for all living things
to survive.
In the Qur'an, God calls our attention to a very
interesting attribute of the sky:
"I (Allah) made the sky a preserved and protected
roof yet still they turn away from Our Signs.."
(The Qur'an, 21:32)
This attribute of the sky has been proved by
scientific research carried out in the 20th century.
The atmosphere surrounding the earth serves
crucial functions for the continuity of life. While
destroying many meteors big and small as they
approach the earth, it prevents them from falling
to earth and harming living things.
In addition, the atmosphere filters the light rays
coming from space that are harmful to living
things. Interestingly, the atmosphere lets only
harmless and useful rays- visible light, near
ultraviolet light, and radio waves pass through.
All of this radiation is vital for life. Near ultraviolet
rays, which are only partially let in by the
atmosphere, are very important for the
photosynthesis of plants and for the survival of
all living beings. The majority of the intense
ultraviolet rays emitted from the sun are filtered
out by the ozone layer of the atmosphere and
only a limited-and essential-part of the ultraviolet
spectrum reaches the Earth.
The protective function of the atmosphere does
not end here. The atmosphere also protects the
earth from the freezing cold of the space, which is
about minus 270° C.
Most people looking at the sky do not think about
the protective aspect of the atmosphere. They
almost never think what kind of a place the world
would be like if this structure did not exist. The
above photo belongs to a giant crater caused by
a meteor that fell in Arizona, in the USA. If the
atmosphere did not exist, millions of meteoroids
would fall to the Earth and the Earth would
become an inhabitable place. Yet, the protective
aspect of the atmosphere allows living things to
survive in safety. This is certainly God's
protection of people, and a miracle proclaimed in
the Qur'an.
The energy released in a Sun burst is so powerful
that the human mind would hardly comprehend
it: A single burst is equivalent to 100 billion
atomic bombs similar to the one dropped on
Hiroshima. The world is protected from the
destructive effects of this energy by the
atmosphere and the Van Allen Belts.
As we move from the Earth, which is perfectly
fitted for human life, beyond the atmosphere into
the space, we come across a freezing cold. The
world is protected from the freezing cold of space,
which is around -270 degrees, by the help of the
atmosphere.
The magnetosphere layer, formed by the magnetic
field of the Earth, serves as a shield protecting
the earth from celestial bodies, harmful cosmic
rays and particles. In the above picture, this
magnetosphere layer, which is also named Van
Allen Belts, is seen. These belts at thousands of
kilometers above the earth protect the living
things on the Earth from the fatal energy that
would otherwise reach it from space.
All these scientific findings prove that the world is
protected in a very particular way. The important
thing is that this protection was made known in
the Qur'an in the verse "We made the sky a
preserved and protected roof" 1,400 years ago.
It is not only the atmosphere that protects the
Earth from harmful effects. In addition to the
atmosphere, the Van Allen Belt, a layer caused by
the magnetic field of the Earth, also serves as a
shield against the harmful radiation that
threatens our planet. This radiation, which is
constantly emitted by the Sun and other stars, is
deadly to living things. If the Van Allen belt did
not exist, the massive outbursts of energy called
solar flares that frequently occur in the Sun would
destroy all life on Earth.
Dr. Hugh Ross has this to say on the importance
of Van Allen Belts to our lives:
In fact, the Earth has the highest density of any of
the planets in our Solar System. This large nickel-
iron core is responsible for our large magnetic
field. This magnetic field produces the Van-Allen
radiation shield, which protects the Earth from
radiation bombardment. If this shield were not
present, life would not be possible on the Earth.
The only other rocky planet to have any magnetic
field is Mercury - but its field strength is 100
times less than the Earth's. Even Venus, our
sister planet, has no magnetic field. The Van-
Allen radiation shield is a design unique to the
Earth.
The energy transmitted in just one of these bursts
detected in recent years was calculated to be
equivalent to 100 billion atomic bombs similar to
the one dropped on Hiroshima. Fifty-eight hours
after the burst, it was observed that the magnetic
needles of compasses displayed unusual
movement and 250 kilometers above the earth's
atmosphere, the temperature suddenly increased
to 2,500° C.
In short, a perfect system is at work high above
the Earth. It surrounds our world and protects it
against external threats. Scientists only learned
about it recently, yet centuries ago, God informed
us in the Qur'an of the world's atmosphere
functioning as a protective shield.

Jabal Hira

 

 

 

The main picture above shows Jabal Hira (the mountain of Hira), which lies about two miles from the Ka’bah. Near the top is a small cave, a little less than 4 meters in length and a little more than one and a half meters in width. It was here that the Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings of Allah be on him) received the first revelations of the Holy Quran during the month of Ramadhan in 610 CE. The mountain is also known as Jabal Noor (the Mountain of Light).

• The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be on him) first began to have revelations in the form of good dreams which came true. Then he began to like solitude. He would go to the cave of Hira and meditate there in solitude for a number of days and nights. He would take provisions with him to stay for an extended period, and when he returned to Khadija (may Allah be pleased with him), he would stock up again and go back to the cave. This was his practice until Truth was revealed to him by an angel while he was in the cave of Hira.

• During Tahajjud time one night, when he was alone in the cave, there came to him an angel in the form of a man. The angel said to him, “Recite!”. “I cannot read”, the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be on him) replied. The angel took hold of him a second time and pressed him until he could not endure it any longer. After letting him go, the angel again said, “Recite!”. Again the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be on him) replied “I cannot read”. The angel further embraced him again until he had reached the limit of endurance and said “Recite!” for the third time the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be on him) said “I cannot read”. The angel released him and said: “Read in the name of your Lord, the Creator. He Who created man from a clot. Read! And your Lord is the Most Bounteous. Who taught by the Pen, taught man what he knew not.” [96:1-5]

• This was the first day of his Prophethood and these were the first verses of the Quran revealed to him. He recited these words after the angel, who thereupon left him; and he said; “It was as though the words were written on my heart.” He was very alarmed by the experience and feared that he had become possessed.

• The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be on him) fled from the cave, and when he was halfway down the slope of the mountain he heard a voice above him saying: “O Muhammad, thou art the Messenger of God, and I am Jibraeel (Gabriel)”. The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be on him) stood gazing at the angel; then he turned away from him, but whichever way he looked the angel was always there on the horizon, whether it was to the north, east, south or west. Finally the angel turned away. The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be on him) was terrified and his heart was pounding hard. He returned home to Khadija (may Allah be pleased with her) and said, “Cover me!”. Khadija (may Allah be pleased with her) covered him and helped him calm down.

• The Quran tells us that the first revelation descended in Ramadan on the ‘Night of Power’. “The month of Ramadan is the month in which the Quran was revealed.” [2:185]
  “We have indeed revealed this message during the Night of Power.” [97:1]

YOUR WIVES ARE NOT YOUR MAIDS THEY ARE YOUR OTHER HALF..

Please take note and share as much as possible.
Your wives are not your maids they are your
other half.. Our beloved Prophet (peace be upon
him) couldn't stress more of the status of a
Muslim wife, He emphasised in this topic through
various narrations and His last will even was; "I
urge you to treat women well." (Bukhari 331 &
Muslim 1468)
It has become a very common thinking amongst
our brothers to feel that that housework is
beneath them, and some of them think that it will
undermine their status and position if they help
their wives with this work.
Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) even
after a hard day of work came home to help with
the cooking and cleaning. He even took the trash
out and sewed His own clothes.
It was reported by Aisha (May Allah be pleased
with her), when she was asked about what the
Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) used to
do in his house; her response described what she
herself had seen.
"He was like any other human being: he would
clean his clothes, milk his ewe and serve
himself." (Reported by Imam Ahmad in al-
Musnad, 6/256; al-Silsilat al-Saheehah, 671)
She (May Allah be pleased her) was also asked
about what the Messenger of Allah (peace be
upon him) used to do in his house, and she said,
"He used to serve his family, then when the time
for prayer came, he would go out to
pray." (Reported by al-Bukhari, al-Fath, 2/162).
If we were to do likewise nowadays, we would
achieve three things:
• We would be following the example of the
Prophet (peace be upon him)
• We would be helping our wives in attaining a
better home.
• We would feel more humble & less arrogant.
Brothers keep in mind even something as little as
your presence in the kitchen or even setting the
table can bring peace and contentment to her
heart. Let these Hadith be a reminder and a
lesson. Please Have some consideration.
Spread the knowledge so it will be Sadqa-e-
Jaaria for you and for me... In'Shaa'Allah.
The Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him)
said: “Whoever directs someone to a good, then
he will have the reward equal to the doer of the
action.” [Muslim 1893]

Don't sell your soul for anything less than Paradise

A pious wife treats her husband like a King, loves him like a Prince but she keeps reminding him that he is a Slave of Allah.

The first and foremost vital quality for a wife is righteousness.

When you love someone all you ever think of is how to make them happy. Making them happy makes you happy.

Allah always listens to your prayer, we just have to be patient for the answer.

Because the problem with us is we want a reply immediately after we have prayed, it doesn't work that way.

Patience is the KEY to all doors,
The door of problems, key PATIENCE

The door of marriage, key PATIENCE

The door of prayers, key PATIENCE

The door of jobless, key PATIENCE

The door of sickness, key PATIENCE
etc.....
and all other doors you can think of.
key PATIENCE

Be patient dear Brothers and Sisters,
be very very patient.

Jinn Possession

I find this from one WhatsApp group : TRUE STORY of Jinn Possession

A man brought his wife for treatment and said that his wife hated him very much and felt relaxed at home, during his absence. When I asked a few questions, it appeared to me, from the symptoms that she suffered from Sihr of separation. After reciting the Ruqya, a Jinn spoke in her person.

Here is the summary of the conversation:

Me: What is your name?

Jinn: I will not tell you my name.

Me: What is your religion?

Jinn: Islam.

Me: Do you think it is lawful for a Muslim to torture another Muslim?

Jinn: I love her, and I am not torturing her. All I want is that her husband should keep away from her.

Me: You want to separate them, don’t you?

Jinn: Yes.

Me: You cannot do that. Get out of her, for the sake of Allaah’s obedience.

Jinn: No, I love her.

Me: But she hates you.

Jinn: No, she loves me.

Me: You are a liar. She hates you and that is why she has come here to get you out of her body.

Jinn: I will not get out.
Me: Then, I will burn you with the Quran (reciting the verses).

I recited some verses over her and he screamed.

Me: Will you get out now?

Jinn: Yes, but conditionally.

Me: What is your condition?

Jinn: To get out of her and to enter your body.

Me: All right, get out of her and enter into my body.

The Jinn waited for a moment then cried.

Me: Why are you crying?

Jinn: No Jinn can enter into your body today.

Me: Why?

Jinn: Because this morning, you said:

“La ilaha illallaah wahdahu laa sharika lahu lahul mulku wa lahul Hamdu wa huwa alaa kulli shay’in Qadeer.”
100 times.
And the Prophet (salla laahu alaihi wa sallam) was truthful when he said:

“Whosoever says: “La ilaaha illallaah wahdahu laa sharika lahu lahul mulku wa lahul hamdu wa huwa alaa kulli shay’in Qadeer.”
لاَ إِلَهَ إِلاَّ اللَّهُ، وَحْدَهُ لاَ شَرِيكَ لَهُ، لَهُ الْمُلْكُ وَلَهُ الْحَمْدُ، وَهْوَ عَلَى كُلِّ شَىْءٍ قَدِيرٌ
(“None has the right to be worshiped but Allah, the Alone Who has no partners, to Him belongs Dominion and to Him belong all the Praises, and He has power over all things (i.e. Omnipotent)”
100 times a day, will have a reward equal to the manumission of 10 slaves, will have 100 good deeds added to and 100 bad deeds erased from his register, and will be PROTECTED by this supplication the Satan throughout the day until the evening, No one is better than he who says this supplication except a man who says more.”
Refer: Al-Bukhari in Fath Al-Baari, 6/338, and Muslim in An-Nawawi 17/17.

9 Great Benefits of Reading the Qur'an

Salaam Alaykum,
Indeed, the Book of Allah is not a book like any other, it is the timeless Speech of Allah, not a created thing, the study guide for life and death and what comes after.

Therefore it deserves a more careful study than anyone else’s speech. 

So, dear brother and sister Muslim! Know that reading and pondering over the Book of Allah, devoting your time regularly to its study and implementation has tremendous benefits in this life and the Next.

So, let us now look at just a few of them to attach ourselves more firmly to Allah’s Majestic Words.

Each benefit stands as enough of an encouragement to shun any laziness we have and dedicate ourselves to the Qur’an.

1 - Reading and reflecting over the Qur’an fulfils an Islamic duty.

Indeed the Prophet (sallallaahu ‘alaihi wa sallam) summarised this Religion with his statement: “The Religion is naseehah (sincerity)!” So then Tameem ibn Aws, may Allah be pleased with him, then said, “We asked, ‘To whom?’” He said: “To Allah, HIS BOOK, His Messenger, the leaders of the people, and their common folk.”[Muslim] 

The sincerity that is due to the Book of Allah includes its regular recitation, learning the rules of tajweed and reciting it beautifully, learning about its tafseer and the reasons for its revelation, affirming that it is the Truth, the perfect Speech of Allah and not part of the creation, honoring it and defending it, abiding by the orders and prohibitions found in it, teaching it and calling to it. So by reading and reflecting over the Qur’an, one fulfills an obligation and is rewarded for that. 

2 - The Qur’an will be a proof for us on the Day of Judgment.

This is due to the statement of the Messenger: “And the Qur’an is a proof for you or against you.” [Muslim] 

So one of two things will occur with this proof, the Book of Allah. It will either be in your favor, a proof for you on the Day when you will need every single good deed, or it will be something standing against you, the very Speech of your Creator, a proof against you! Who could be saved from the terrors of that Day if Allah’s own Speech is against him?!?! Think carefully, dear Muslim brother or sister, about your position with the Qur’an! Are you neglecting it, contradicting it, being heedless of its orders and prohibitions, are you thinking deeply over it?! Will it be on your side on the Day of Judgment.?! O Allah! We ask you, by Your Glorious Speech and the rest of your beautiful Names and Attributes, to make the Qur’an a proof for us! O Allah! Don’t make the Qur’an a proof against us on that Day, and save us from the hellfire! For if Allah makes the Qur’an a proof in our favour on that Day, then it would also be an intercessor for us, when NO intercession will take place except by His Permission.

3 - The Qur’an will intercede for us on the Day of Judgment.

The proof: Abu Umaamah relates that the Prophet (sallallaahu ‘alayhi wa sallam) said: “Read the Qur’an, for verily it will come on the Day of Standing as an intercessor for its companions.” [Muslim]

4 - Your status in this life will be raised.

In Saheeh Muslim, we find a lovely story, about how Umar ibn Al-Khattaab (RA) understood this principle. Some men came to question him during his khilaafah about the leadership of Makkah, they asked, “Who do you use to govern Makkah?” He said, “Ibn Abzaa.” They asked, “And who is Ibn Abzaa?” Umar replied, “A freed slave from those we freed.” They remarked, “You left a freed slave in charge of the people of the Valley (the noble tribes of the Quraysh)!?!?” So he answered them, “Verily he is a reader of the Book of Allah and is knowledgeable about the obligations of the Muslims. Haven’t you heard the statement of your Messenger: “Verily Allah raises some people by this Book and lowers others by it.”

5 - You will be from the best of the people.

‘Uthmaan, may Allah be pleased with him, said that the Prophet (sallallaahu ‘alayhi wa sallam) said: “The best of you are the ones who learn the Qur’an and teach it to others” [Al-Bukhari]

6 - There are ten rewards for each letter you recite from the Qur’an.

As an authentic hadith in At-Tirmithee proves: “Whoever reads a letter from the Book of Allah, he will have a reward. And that reward will be multiplied by ten. I am not saying that “Alif, Laam, Meem” is a letter, rather I am saying that “Alif” is a letter, “laam” is a letter and “meem” is a letter.” So increase your recitation of the Qur’an to gain these merits, and to gain the following merit as well.

7 - The reciters of the Qur’an will be in the company of the noble and obedient Angels.

‘Aa’ishah, may Allah be pleased with her, relates that the Prophet (sallallaahu ‘alayhi wa sallam) said: “Verily the one who recites the Qur’an beautifully, smoothly, and precisely, he will be in the company of the noble and obedient angels. And as for the one who recites with difficulty, stammering or stumbling through its verses, then he will have TWICE that reward.”  [Bukhari and Muslim]

So dear brother or sister Muslim, do not let the Shaytaan give you false excuses, such as “I am not an ‘Arab,” or “Its not my language.” This hadith is a firm proof against these whisperings. Dedicate yourself to the Book of Allah, whether you are an ‘Arab or not! The excuses have been eliminated and the pathway has been cleared for you to embrace the Book of Allah without holding back or offering excuses! 

8 - The Qur’an will lead you to Paradise!

The Prophet said: “The Qur’an is an intercessor, something given permission to intercede, and it is rightfully believed in. Whoever puts it in front of him, it will lead him to Paradise; whoever puts it behind him, it will steer him to the Hellfire.” [An authentic hadith found in At-Tabaraanee, on the authority of ‘Abdullaah ibn Mas’uud]

9 - Your position in Paradise is determined by the amount of Qur’an you memorised in this life!

‘Abdullaah ibn ‘Amr ibn Al-’Aas heard the Prophet (sallallaahu ‘alayhi wa sallam) saying: “It will be said to the companion of the Qur’an: Read and elevate (through the levels of the Paradise) and beautify your voice as you used to do when you were in the dunyaa! For verily, your position in the Paradise will be at the last verse you recite!” [Aboo Daawood and At-Tirmithee, saheeh]

Know, dear brother or sister, that these nine benefits from the many benefits available can only be attained by a sincere commitment to the Book of Allah, not by a person’s mere statement, “I love the Qur’an, it’s beautiful.” 

Rather the heart must be sincerely attached to Allah’s Book and the limbs and tongue will follow in this attachment. You must know that we only mentioned a few of the numerous benefits of reading and reflecting over the Qur’an. There are many benefits that await your reading in the Qur’an and books of hadith, like the chapter of the Qur’an that will argue on your behalf in the grave, and that it is a physical healing, a source of rest and relaxation for your heart, among many other things.

And Allah knows best.

BEAUTIFUL HADITH #RAMADHAN

Talha bin ‘Ubaidullah
(radyAllahu ‘anhu) narrated that two men came
to the Messenger of Allah (salla Allahu alayhi wa
sallam) and became Muslim together. After
accepting Islam one of them would strive harder
than the other. The one who used to strive harder
went out to fight in the way of Allah and was
martyred. The other man who accepted Islam at
the same time as the martyr lived a year longer,
then he also passed away.
Later Talha reported that he saw in a dream that
he was at the gate of Paradise and he saw those
two men that had died. Then through the gates of
Paradise someone came out and admitted the one
who had died last into Jannah, then he came out
again and admitted the one who died first as a
martyr. Then he came back to Talha and said:
‘Go back, for your time has not yet come.’”
The next morning, Talha told the people of the
dream and they were amazed. News of that
reached the Messenger of Allah (salla Allahu
alayhi wa sallam) and they told him the story.
The Prophet (salla Allahu alayhi wa sallam) said:
“Why are you so amazed at that?”
They said: “O Messenger of Allah, the first one
was the one who strove harder, and he died a
martyr in the cause of Allah, but the other man
(who didn't strive as hard and was not a martyr)
was admitted to Paradise before him?"
The Messenger of Allah (salla Allahu alayhi wa
sallam) said: “Did he (the second man) not live
for another year?” They said: “Yes.”
The Prophet (salla Allahu alayhi wa sallam)
asked: “And did not Ramadan come and he
fasted, and he offered such and such prayers
during that year?” They said: “Yes.”
The Messenger of Allah (salla Allahu alayhi wa
sallam) said: “The difference between them is
greater than the difference between the heaven
and the earth.” ~ [Collected by Ibn Majah]

There are many Sunnahs of fasting

My Brothers and Sisters in Islaam.

Al Hamdulillaah... We are alive to witness this blessed month Ramadaan...!

Please we should work towards what will assist us to earn many rewards in this month.

There are many Sunnahs of fasting, including the following:

1 – It is Sunnah if someone insults you to respond in a better manner and say, “I am fasting,” because of the report narrated by al-Bukhaari and Muslim from Abu Hurayrah, that the Messenger of Alllaah said:

“Fasting is a paradise so there should be no obscene or offensive talk or behaviour.

If a person fights him or insults him, let him say, ‘I am fasting,’ twice.

By the One in Whose hand is my soul, the smell coming from the mouth of the fasting person is better before Allaah then the fragrance of musk.

[Allaah says:] ‘He gives up his food, drink and desire for My sake.

Fasting is for Me and I will reward for it, and a good deed receives the reward of ten like it.’” Al-Bukhaari, no. 1894; Muslim, 1151.

2 – It is Sunnah for the fasting person to eat suhoor, because it was proven in al-Saheehayn that Anas ibn Maalik said:

The Prophet the Messenger of Allaah said:

“Eat suhoor for in suhoor there is blessing.” (Narrated by al-Bukhaari, 1923; Muslim, 1059).

3 – It is Sunnah to delay suhoor because of the report narrated by al-Bukhaari from Anas from Zayd ibn Thaabit who said:

“We ate suhoor with the Messenger of Allaahthen he got up to pray.” I said:

“How much time was there between the adhaan and suhoor?” He said:

“The time it takes to recite fifty verses.” (Narrated by al-Bukhaari, 1921).

4 – It is Sunnah to hasten to break the fast because the Prophet said:

“The people will continue to be fine so long as they hasten to break the fast.” (Narrated by al-Bukhaari, 1957; Muslim, 1098).

5 – It is Sunnah to break the fast with fresh dates; if none are available then with dry dates; if none are available then with water – because of the hadeeth of Anas who said:

The Messenger of Allaah used to break his fast with fresh dates before praying; if there were no (fresh dates) then with dry dates, and if there were no (dried dates) then he would take a few sips of water.

(Nararted by Abu Dawood, no. 2356; al-Tirmidhi, 696; classed as hasan in al-Irwa’, 4/45)

6 – It is Sunnah when breaking the fast to say what is narrated in the hadeeth, which is to say Bismillaah.

This is obligatory according to the correct view because the Prophet enjoined that.

The words “Allaahumma laka sumtu wa ‘ala rizqika aftartu, Allaahumma taqabbal minni, innaka antaal-samee’ al-‘aleem

(O Allaah, for You I have fasted and with Your provision I have broken my fast, O Allaah accept (this fast) from me for You are the All-Hearing, All-Knowing) are da’eef (weak), as stated by Ibn al-Qayyim (Zaad al-Ma’aad, 2/51). 

There is also another report:

“Dhahaba al-‘zama’ wa abtallat al-‘urooq wa thabata al-ajr in sha Allaah (the thirst is gone, the veins have been moistened and the reward is assured, if Allaah niwills).”

(Narrated by Abu Dawood, 2357; al-Bayhaqi, 4/239; classed as hasan in al-Irwa’, 4/39).

May Almighty Allaah shower the blessings of this month on everyone of US.

Be careful of the "thieves" of the☀ month of Ramadhan

1. Television
This thief is dangerous and ruins the days of people and diminishes their rewards. By watching useless movies and programs it squanders the time in a month where the days are the best of all days and the nights are the best of all nights.

2. Too much sleep
Just because it is said in Hadith that even sleep in this month has thawab, does not mean that you should excessively sleep! The point is that if even sleep contains rewards then imagine the rewards of ibadat!

3. Wasting night
A thief that steals the most valuable time from you! This thief is responsible for turning you away from Salatul Layl, istighfaar and tawbah, and the reading of specific duas of Month Ramadhan  and recitation of the Holy Quran.

4. Stinginess✨
Give sadqa, iftaar, and help the orphans. Give iftaar even if it is half a date, or a sip of water, so Allah swt will forgive your past sins.

5. Gatherings without the dhikr of Allah swt ✨

This thief comes with deep regret on the day of judgement!

6. Helping parents✨
Whoever in this month does good towards their relatives, Allah swt connects them with His mercy on the day of judgement.
My dear, always be cheerful with your mother and father and serve them as much as u can.

7. Bad Akhlaq
Fasting is not just refraining from food and drink, but eyes, ears, tongue, and all parts of body should also be fasting.  Stay away from Lying, backbiting, cursing, suspicion...etc. 
If u want to pass "pul-e-sirat" with ease, during this month make ur akhlaq good.

And the biggest thief:
8. Facebook, whatsapp, widget, etc❗
If you do not use them in the right way all your good deeds could be taken from you.

Dears! Don't let this Holy Month go so that when everyone is receiving their rewards, you are of the ones who are empty handed.

So be careful of the thieves of this blessd Month of Ramadhan! Oh Allah make this the best Month of ours so far

Prohibited Marriage Partners

Under the Shari'ah (Islamic Law), marriages
between men and women standing in a certain
relationship to one another are prohibited. These
prohibited degrees are either of a permanent
nature or a temporary. The permanently
prohibited degrees of marriage are laid down in
the Qur'an: "And marry not those women whom
your fathers married, except what has already
happened (of that nature) in the past. Lo! it was
ever lewdness and abomination, and an evil way.
Forbidden unto you are your mothers and your
daughters, and your sisters and your father's
sisters and your mother's sisters, and your
brother's daughters and your sister's daughters,
and your foster-mothers and your foster-sisters,
and your mothers-in-law and your step-
daughters who are under your mother-in-law and
your step-daughters who are under your
protection (born) of your women unto whom you
have gone into -- but if you have not gone into
them, then it is no sin for you (to marry their
daughters) -- and the wives of your sons from
your own loins, and that you should have two
sisters together, except what has already
happened (of that nature) in the past. Allah is
ever-Forgiving, Merciful. "
(Qur’an.Surah Nisa 4:22 - 24)
From the above Ayah, it is clear that a Muslim
must never marry the following:
His mother
His step-mother (this practice continues in
Yoruba land in Nigeria, where in some cases the
eldest son inherits the youngest wife of his
father)
His grandmother (including father's and mother's
mothers and all preceding mothers e.g. great
grandmothers )
His daughter (including granddaughters and
beyond )
His sister (whether full, consanguine or uterine)
His father's sisters (including paternal
grandfather's sisters)
His mother's sisters (including maternal
grandmother's sisters)
His brother's daughters
His foster mother
His foster mother's sister
His sister's daughter
His foster sister
His wife's mother
His step-daughter (i.e. a daughter by a former
husband of a woman he has married if the
marriage has been consummated. However, if
such a marriage was not consummated, there is
no prohibition)
His real son's wife
A great wisdom lies behind these prohibitions on
the grounds of consanguinity, affinity, and
fosterage. No social cohesion can exist if people
do not keep these prohibitions in their minds while
contracting marriages.
Temporary prohibitions are those which arise only
on account of certain special circumstances in
which the parties are placed. If the circumstances
change, the prohibition also disappears. They are
as follows:
A man must not have two sisters as wives at the
same time nor can he marry a girl and her aunt
at the same time.
A man must not marry a woman who is already
married. However this impediment is removed
immediately if the marriage is dissolved either by
the death of her former husband, or by divorce
followed by completion of the period of 'Iddah
(retreat or waiting period).
A man must not have more than four wives at
one time. This impediment is, of course, removed
as soon as one of the wives dies or is divorced.
A man must not marry a woman during her
'Iddah.

A VERY AMAZING MATHEMATICAL EXERCISE FOR YOU

>Assumption:_ 1; U lived for 60 years, and each day of your life, U slept 8hrs.. in the 60years,U Will have spent  exactly 20 years just sleeping!
2;U worked for 8hrs a day, U will have spent 20years just working.
3;Usually Childhood takes 15years.
4; Sat on the dining table twice a day for thirty minutes, U will have spent 3years just eating!

Now...Addition of sleep(20yrs)+work(20yrs)+ childhood(15yrs)+meals(3yrs)=58 years.
Subtracting from the total number of yrs (60yrs), you're remaining with ONLY 2years.
What Will be your answer on the day of judgment when you're asked about your time on earth????

Here's a simple solution to the problem above!!....
The holy Quran(Saudi Arabia type) has got 604 pages,right?
If you try to divide the 600 pages in 30days of the month,they're nothing..
Don't worry about the calculations,I got them done for you��
600/30=20; simple!
Now that means you are to cover 20 pages per day!

There are 5prayers a day, so...
20/5=4, this means, if you recite 4pages every swala(prayer), you'll definitely complete the whole holy Quran in just one month!

Message is still proceeding, read to the end...
If you send this message to your friends and family and they complete the Quran because of you, do you have any idea how much rewards you'll get?
Whenever someone reads, you gain their rewards, minus reducing their accounts!
Why don't you make yourself a profitable business this year in terms of rewards!!!
Why don't you make people complete the Quran because of you!!!

Still optimistic? Here's a hadith from Muhammad P.B.U.H.. "whoever enjoins good is equivalent (in rewards) to the one who has done it!!

Poem

.....Syria is now a country of bomb shells rubbles and bullet holes

......Kids no more use to catoons buh bullets sounds and drones
.....Nothing for them to eat,No money in banks to even loan

......Many are displaced as some die in rubbles with no burial
......Ya Allah please grant the ummah relief and lessen our trial.
.....Coz they have nothing to eat,not even Cereals.
......Tears dropping out of my eyes as I see kids dying in syria.

......Aleppo, Damascus and the cities are now nothing but just names
......Tyrants on one hand oppressors on the other Both apportioning blames
.....Polititians can help,and all they do is to facilatate the mame
.....Rebols killing humans like that of a  video game

......The tears of the kids that the mothers cant wipe.
.....Mothers bleeding with a pressure more that the flow of water in a pipe
......We fail to pray for them,and also waste ample time on Skype
.....Yaa Allah help us and increase our imaan,as fast as the way we type.

.....The wounds of the mothers that the doctors cant heal
.....Ya Allah grant them relief,before  we even  kneel
.....Coz we share their pains and also feels the same way they feel
.....Yaa Allah shield the  rest of this ummah from the tyrans,Even harder that Zurkanain Seal

Today’s Beautiful Hadith is about Fajr

Assalaamu aleikoum...

Today’s Beautiful Hadith is about Fajr:

Abu Hurairah RA reported: The Messenger of Allah (sallallaahu alayhi wa sallam) recited in the two supererogatory Rak’ah of the Fajr prayer Surat Al-Kafirun (No. 109) (in the first Rak'ah), and Surat Al-Ikhlas (No. 112) (in the second Rak'ah).

(Muslim)

Mummy, here you are. This is the sweeter one

A little girl was holding two apples with both hands.
Her mum came in and softly asked her little daughter with a smile: my sweetie, could you give your mum one of your two apples?
The girl looked up at her mum for some seconds, then she suddenly took a quick bite on one apple, and then quickly on the other.
The mum felt the smile on her face freeze. She tried hard not to reveal her disappointment.
Then the little girl handed one of her bitten apples to her mum,and said: mummy, here you are. This is the sweeter one.

No matter who you are, how experienced you are, and how knowledgeable you think you are, always delay judgement.  Give others the privilege to explain themselves.                                What you see may not be the reality. Never conclude for others.
Which is why we should never only focus on the surface and judge others without understanding them first.

Death - Islamic

I am lying on the bed. My children,
brothers and sisters are all sitting by
my bedside. Some close friends too
are standing and overlooking my face.
Suddenly I start breathing with long
breaths. Someone among the people
sitting in the room. Everyone around
repeats with the reciter. My breath
starts to ease out. I am opening my
eyes and looking at something. Angel
of death has arrived. I am getting late
for the eternal journey. My mouth has
opened up. My brother is dropping
some water into my mouth, it is
perhaps the "Zam Zam" water which I
had preserved for the very moment.
Then everyone starts to recite,
"Laa'ilaaha illallaaha Muhammadur
Rasoolullaah". I have lost my vision. I
have lost my tongue, I have even lost
my sensation but I can still hear. I
can hear my loved ones weeping in
grief. I'm not dead yet but I am almost
lifeless. Angel of death makes the
final act and takes my soul out with
an intensive jerk. I have now left this
world.
All my wealth, cars, properties, bank
balances, contacts and connections
are of no use now. My identity is my
grave and I am being referred to as
'dead body'. My near ones are
preparing my grave and some of them
think it as inauspicious to keep the
dead body inside the house for too
long. The house which I myself built
and lived in is shrinking in space for
me. My bath is being prepared. I am
taken out in the compound for the
final bath. My bathroom fitted with
expensive bath fittings is not for me
now.
I am being wrapped in the white
cotton shroud. I am boxed in a
wooden box for the travel to my
grave. My expensive car is not for me
now.
For what then did I amass so many
worthless things. Why did I lie to
earn the useless wealth. It is of no
use to me. Woe to me for I wasted my
life in vain. I forgot that my last
journey is near and certain. Why did I
sin so much ? Oh! I have lost my
game.
Now stop imagining This is going to
happen one day with you and me. So
be prepared. Good deeds will make
your journey and the life of the
Hereafteru pleasant. Remember death.
It is certain. It is so near. This world
is just a short dream..... WAKE UP B4
ITS TOO LATE!
A Beautiful Hadith
Rasulullah ( ﺻﻞ ﺍﻟﻠﻪ ﻋﻠﻴﻪ ﻭﺳﻠﻢ ) said:
'When a man dies and his relatives
are busy in funeral, there stands an
extremely handsome man by his
head. When the dead body is
shrouded, that man gets in between
the shroud and the chest of the
deceased. When after the burial, the
people return home, 2 angels, Munkar
and Nakeer(names of two special
Angels), come in the grave and try to
separate this handsome man so that
they may be able to interrogate the
dead man in privacy about his faith.
But the handsome man says, 'He is
my companion, he is my friend. I will
not leave him alone in any case. If
you are appointed for interrogation,
do your job.. I cannot leave him until
I get him admitted into Paradise '.
Thereafter he turns to his dead
companion and says, 'I am the
Qur'an, which you used to read,
sometimes in a loud voice and
sometimes in a low voice. Do not
worry. After the interrogation of
Munkar and Naker, you will have no
grief..' When the interrogation is over,
the handsome man arranges for him
from Al-Mala'ul A'laa (the angels in
Heaven) silk bedding filled with
musk.
Rasulullah( ﺻﻞ ﺍﻟﻠﻪ ﻋﻠﻴﻪ ﻭﺳﻠﻢ ) said: 'On
the Day of Judgement, before Allah,
no other Intercessor will have a
greater status than the Qur'an,
neither a Prophet nor an angel.'
Please keep forwarding this 'Hadith'
to all ....because Rasulullah ( ﺻﻞ ﺍﻟﻠﻪ
ﻋﻠﻴﻪ ﻭﺳﻠﻢ )
said: 'Pass on knowledge from me
even if it is only one verse'. May
Allah bestow this favour on all of us.
ﺍﻣﻴﻦ ﻳﺎﺭﺏ ﺍﻟﻌﺎﻟﻤﻴﻦ
We are praying that the following
message in the next seven days
would reach at least FIVE MILLION all
over the world, Insha-Allah. Please
forward thise message TODAY to your
friends and relatives and earn
abundant Rewards from
ﺍﻟﻠﻪ ...
When U carry the Quran, satan gets a
headache. When u open it, he
collapses. When he sees U reading it,
he faints. When you're about to
forward this, he will try to discourage
U.

House of Abu Jahal

This spot, just outside the present Masah is

believed to be the approximate location of the

house of Abu Jahal. Abu Jahal was a relative of

the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be on

him) and one of the worst enemies of Islam. He

was described by the Prophet (peace and

blessings of Allah be on him) as the ‘Fir’awn’ of

this Ummah.

Abu Jahal’s actual name was Amr ibn Hisham

but he was commonly known as Abu Hakam

(“Father of Wisdom”) among the Quraysh as

he was considered a wise man. His relentless

hostility and belligerence towards Islam earned

him the name Abu Jahal (Father of Ignorance)

among the Muslims. He was a member of the

Banu Makhzum clan of the Quraysh.

Abu Jahal was not a real uncle of the Prophet

(peace and blessings of Allah be on him) [not

his father’s real brother] but his father’s

cousin. He was a staunch polytheist and

greatly disliked the Prophet (peace and

blessings of Allah be on him), taking any

opportunity to rebuke and publicly humiliate

him.

He was one of the greatest persecutors of the

Muslims. When a Muslim convert was

discovered among the hierarchy of a tribe, Abu

Jahal would reprimand the convert and then

ridicule him in front of his fellow tribesmen so

he would lost their respect. When he

discovered a trader had converted to Islam he

gave orders that no one should engage in

business with him. As a result, the convert

trader was unable to sell his wares and

became impoverished.

Convert slaves belonging to the polytheist

Quraysh received the harshest punishment.

Abu Jahal beat Harithah bint al-Muammil

(may Allah be pleased with her), one such

slave, for her conversion to such an extent that

she lost her eyesight. He attacked Sumayyah

bint Khayyaṭ, the mother of Ammar (may Allah

be pleased with him) and inflicted on her

mortal wounds by stabbing her with a spear in

her private parts. This blessed lady was the

first to meet martyrdom in the cause of Islam.

When Umar (may Allah be pleased with him)

embraced Islam, he was determined to

announce his new faith to the Prophet’s

(peace and blessings of Allah be on him)

enemies and the first place he went to was the

house of Abu Jahal. Umar (may Allah be

pleased with him) knocked on his door, Abu

Jahal came out and greeted him, “Welcome!

What brings you here?”

“I have come to tell you that I have embraced

the religion of Allah and His Messenger,

Muhammad,” Umar calmly stated.

Abu Jahal heard this and disgustedly said,

“May God ruin you and what you have

brought! ” and slammed the door shut.

Hijab for your own safety

Daughter bought a brand new I phone 6 . She got a screen protector along and beautiful phone cover as well. She showed her new phone to her dad and the conversation is as follows..

Dad: this is a nice phone. How much did you pay for it?

Daughter: it's 700 dollars for the phone, 20 dollars for the phone cover, 5 dollars for the screen protector.

Dad: oh why did you get the screen protector and the phone cover, you could have saved 25 dollars.

Daughter: dad! I've spent 700 dollars on my phone whats the point if I don't spend 25 dollars for its safety?
And more over this cover makes my phone look beautiful.

Dad: is it not an insult to the apple company that it did not make the phone safe enough?

Daughter: no dad! They in fact recommend us to get the screen protector and the phone cover for its safety. And I dint want it to get damaged.

Dad: does it reduce the beauty of the phone?

Daughter: no it doesn't. It makes my phone look more beautiful.

Dad looked at his daughter and smiled lovingly. And said, my daughter you know I love you, you paid 700 dollars for a phone and you spent 25 dollars for its safety.

I've paid my life on you and what is the point If you do not cover yourself with hijab for your own safety. This phone will not be questioned on aakhirath but my daughter you and me will be questioned.

Muhammed (ﷺ)

What a year was 570 AD
A person was born, a prophet to be
Muhammed (ﷺ) that was his name
People were misguided and that’s when he came
He would go on to leave all the idols behind
He is an example to the whole of mankind
Rabbi-al-Awwal, in it was a day
He came to this world to show us the way
He was born in Mecca, the holiest place
A life full of challenges he was to face
Abdullah, his father, had by then passed away
Leaving Amina, his mother, in her arms he lay
Halima Sadia took over his care
Until he was six, our prophet was there
His mother then died, he was left all alone
Abdul Muttalib, his grand-dad then made him his own
When our prophet was nine, his grandfather died
Abu Talib, his uncle, became his new guide
In his 20’s,a merchant Muhammed (ﷺ) became by
trade
Al-Amin (the trustworthy), became his grade
Khadija (r.a.) aged 40, became his bride
He was 25, with her by his side
To the poor, she gave away all her wealth
A dedicated wife in sickness and health
360 idols in the Ka’aba, there were at that time
Our prophet realised that this was a crime
He would go to mount Hira, leaving behind his wife
Reflecting and wondering about the meaning of life
Whilst thinking there in the midst of the night
He heard a loud voice which filled him with fright
It was the angel Jibreel (a.s.) who asked him to read
Our prophet couldn’t and didn’t take heed
The angel embraced him and then asked him later
‘Read, Read in the name of the Creator’
Who created man from a drop of blood
Our prophet couldn’t read but at that time he could
Our prophet rushed to the path straight ahead
He heard a voice from the heavens which said
Muhammed (ﷺ) truly you are the messenger of God
Muhammed (ﷺ) was scared and thought this quite odd
‘Praise be to God’ his wife said instead
‘I know you’ve been chosen as God’s messenger’ she
said
And thus Khadija (r.a.) became the first woman of
Islam
And over the next 23 years came the revelation, the
Quran
He preached to all people, every creed, every race
Yet so many hardships he had to face
There were fears for his life, then the Hijra’h took
place
He entered Medina, by the Almighty’s grace
He was greeted by the Ansaris who were not like the
others
they treated the Muhajirs like their very own brothers
Then came the battles, fought face to face
Then the conquest of Mecca, Muhammed (ﷺ)’s
birthplace
An-Nasr was revealed, it’s message was clear
Muhammed (saws) knew that his time was near
Everyone gathered to hear his last speech
little did they know how far Allah’s message would
reach
Muhammed (ﷺ) gave us the miracle, the Quran
And now a 1/4 of the world follow Islam
He is our role-model, the best of mankind
And has left the Quran and his Sunnah behind
Read the Quran as much as you can
The words of Allah (SWT) for the guidance of man
And follow our prophet’s sunnah, when eating and
dressing
And send him salutations and many a blessing
He came to mankind to show us the way
And Insha-Allah, we’ll meet him, we’ll meet him one
day.

Three Tough Questions?

There was a young man who went overseas to study for quite a long time.
When he returned, he asked his parents to find him a religious scholar
or any expert who could answer his 3 Questions. Finally, his parents
were able to find a Muslim scholar.

Young man: Who are you? Can you answer my questions?

Scholar: I am one of Allah (Subhan Wa Ta`ala )'s slaves and Insha-Allah
(God willing), I will be able to answer your questions.

Young man: Are you sure? A lot of Professors and experts were not able
to answer my questions.

Scholar: I will try my best, with the help of Allah(Subhan Wa Ta`ala).

Young Man: I have 3 questions:
1. Does God exist? If so, show me His shape.
2. What is thaqdir (fate)?
3. If shaitan (Devil) was created from the fire, why at the end he will
be thrown to hell that is also created from fire. It certainly will not
hurt him at all, since Shaitan (Devil) and the hell were created from
fire. Did God not think of it this far?

Suddenly, the Scholar slapped the young man's face very hard.

Young Man (feeling pain): Why do you get angry at me?

Scholar: I am not angry. The slap is my answer to your three questions.

Young Man: I really don't understand.

Scholar: How do you feel after I slapped you?

Young Man: Of course, I felt the pain.

Scholar: So do you believe that pain exists?

Young Man: Yes.

Scholar: Show me the shape of the pain!

Young Man: I cannot.

Scholar: That is my first answer. All of us feel God's existence
without being able to see His shape... Last night, did you dream that
you will be slapped by me?

Young Man: No.

Scholar: Did you ever think that you will get a slap from me, today?

Young Man: No.

Scholar: That is takdir (fate) my second answer........ My hand that I
used to slap you, what is it created from?

Young Man: It is created from flesh.

Scholar: How about your face, what is it created from?

Young Man: Flesh.

Scholar: How do you feel after I slapped you?

Young Man: In pain.

Scholar: That?s it. this is my third answer, Even though Shaitan Devil)
and also the hell were created from the fire, if Allah wants,
insha-Allah (God willing), the hell will become a very painful place for
Shaitan

Allah said:
If you are ashamed of me, I will be ashamed of you." If you are not
ashamed, pls pass this message on so that lot pple can benefit from it.

Three Tough Questions?

There was a young man who went overseas to study for quite a long time.
When he returned, he asked his parents to find him a religious scholar
or any expert who could answer his 3 Questions. Finally, his parents
were able to find a Muslim scholar.

Young man: Who are you? Can you answer my questions?

Scholar: I am one of Allah (Subhan Wa Ta`ala )'s slaves and Insha-Allah
(God willing), I will be able to answer your questions.

Young man: Are you sure? A lot of Professors and experts were not able
to answer my questions.

Scholar: I will try my best, with the help of Allah(Subhan Wa Ta`ala).

Young Man: I have 3 questions:
1. Does God exist? If so, show me His shape.
2. What is thaqdir (fate)?
3. If shaitan (Devil) was created from the fire, why at the end he will
be thrown to hell that is also created from fire. It certainly will not
hurt him at all, since Shaitan (Devil) and the hell were created from
fire. Did God not think of it this far?

TIME IS RELATIVE - AGE OF UNIVERSE

MUSLIMS BELIEVE THAT PARADISE AND HELL ARE BOTH MUCH BIGGER AND MUCH MORE MASSIVE THAN EARTH (BUT STILL MUCH SMALLER THAN ALLAH'S THRONE). THE THEORY OF GENERAL RELATIVITY SAYS THAT TIME PASSES SLOWER NEAR AN OBJECT MORE MASSIVE THAN EARTH (CLOCKS RUN SLOWER IN STRONGER GRAVITATIONAL FIELDS). SO ACCORDING TO GENERAL RELATIVITY, TIME SHOULD PASS IN PARADISE/HELL MUCH SLOWER THAN ON EARTH. ALLAH STATED IN THE QUR'AN THAT 1 DAY IN PARADISE/HELL MEASURES A 1000 YEARS ON EARTH:

[QUR’AN C.22.V.47] “THEY CHALLENGE YOU TO BRING FORTH THAT TORTURE [IN HELL] AND ALLAH WILL NOT BREAK HIS PROMISE; A DAY OF YOUR LORD [PARADISE/HELL PROMISE] IS LIKE A THOUSAND YEARS OF WHAT YOU COUNT.”

HERE ALLAH PROMISES THOSE WHO DO NOT BELIEVE IN HELL AND PUNISHMENT THAT EACH DAY OF THEIR TORTURE IN HELL WILL MEASURE A THOUSAND YEARS ON EARTH. SO ACCORDING TO THE QUR'AN, TIME PASSES FASTER ON EARTH THAN IN PARADISE/HELL. BUT THIS AGREES WITH THE THEORY OF GENERAL RELATIVITY WHICH SAYS THAT TIME PASSES SLOWER NEAR BIGGER MASS. PARADISE AND HELL ARE MUCH MORE MASSIVE THAN EARTH AND TIME SHOULD PASS THERE MUCH SLOWER THAN ON EARTH.

CHRISTIANS BELIEVE THAT GOD CREATED THE UNIVERSE IN 6 EARTHLY DAYS AND RESTED ON THE 7TH.
MUSLIMS BELIEVE THAT 6 DAYS PASSED AT ALLAH'S THRONE BUT WE EXPERIENCED 13.7 BILLION YEARS ON EARTH: THE QUR'AN SAYS THAT ALLAH'S THRONE IS EVEN WIDER THAN THE WHOLE UNIVERSE; SO HOW ABOUT THE MASS OF ALLAH'S THRONE? ALLAH'S THRONE IS MUCH MORE MASSIVE THAN EARTH. TIME SHOULD PASS THERE MUCH SLOWER THAN ON EARTH:

OUR SOLAR SYSTEM IS 4.567 BILLION YEARS OLD. EARTH STARTED ACCRETING CONCURRENTLY WITH THE SUN AND OUR NEIGHBOURING PLANETS 4.56 BLN YEARS AGO. HOWEVER THE UNIVERSE IS 13.7 ± 0.2 BLN YEARS OLD. THIS PLACES THE AGE OF EARTH AT ONE THIRD THE AGE OF THE UNIVERSE (4.567 BLN/13.7 BLN = 1/3). ALLAH SAYS IN THE QURAN THAT IN ALLAH'S THRONE TIME EARTH IS 2 DAYS OLD WHILE THE HEAVENS, EARTH AND EVERYTHING IN BETWEEN ARE 6 DAYS OLD (2/6 = 1/3):

[QUR’AN C.50.V.38] “WE [ALLAH] CREATED THE HEAVENS AND THE EARTH AND ALL WHAT'S BETWEEN THEM IN SIX DAYS, AND WE WERE NOT TOUCHED BY FATIGUE.”

[QUR’AN C.41.V.9] SAY: "IS IT THAT YOU DENY HIM [ALLAH] WHO CREATED THE EARTH IN TWO DAYS? AND YOU CLAIM OTHERS TO BE EQUAL TO HIM? HE IS THE LORD OF (ALL) THE WORLDS."
WHEN ALLAH SAYS THAT HE CREATED THE HEAVENS, THE EARTH AND EVERYTHING IN BETWEEN (INCLUDING YOU AND ME) IN SIX DAYS THIS MEANS THAT HE IS REFERRING TO THE PERIOD OF EXISTENCE. EARTH HAS BEEN IN EXISTENCE FOR 2 DAYS (OUT OF 6).

IN ALLAH'S THRONE TIME, EARTH IS 2 DAYS OLD WHILE THE HEAVENS, EARTH AND EVERYTHING IN BETWEEN ARE 6 DAYS OLD. THIS MAKES THE AGE OF EARTH TO BE ONE THIRD THE AGE OF THE UNIVERSE (2/6 = 1/3). SIMILARLY IN EARTH TIME, THE AGE OF EARTH IS 4.567 BILLION YEARS WHILE THE AGE OF THE UNIVERSE IS 13.7 BILLION YEARS; THIS IS ALSO ONE THIRD (4.567 BLN/13.7 BLN = 1/3). SO IT IS THE SAME RATIO IN EARTH TIME OR IN ALLAH'S THRONE TIME. THE THEORY OF GENERAL RELATIVITY EXPLAINS WHY TIME AT ALLAH'S THRONE PASSES SLOWER THAN ON EARTH. GENERAL RELATIVITY EXPLAINS WHY 6 DAYS PASSED AT ALLAH'S THRONE BUT WE MEASURED IT AS 13.7 BILLION YEARS (THAT IS EACH DAY AT ALLAH'S THRONE MEASURES AROUND 2.28 BILLION YEARS ON EARTH). SO ACCORDING TO THE QUR'AN:

ALLAH'S THRONE > PARADISE/HELL > EARTH

THE SMALLER THE MASS, THE FASTER THE TIME.

WE ARE SURE THAT TIME IS RELATIVE, THAT IS, THE AGE OF THE UNIVERSE IS DIFFERENT FOR OBSERVERS WITH CLOCKS RUNNING AT DIFFERENT RATES. FOR EXAMPLE, THERE EXISTS AN OBSERVER WHO MEASURES THE AGE OF THE UNIVERSE TO BE 3 BILLION YEARS, HOWEVER HE ALSO MEASURES THE AGE OF EARTH TO BE 1 BILLION YEARS. BUT THE QUR'AN PRESENTED IT AS A RATIO (1/3) AND THIS RATIO TURNED OUT TO BE CORRECT FOR ANY OBSERVER (WHATEVER THE CLOCK RATE). IF THE QUR'AN PRESENTED IT IN ANY OTHER FORM OTHER THAN A RATIO IT WOULD HAVE BEEN WRONG FOR DIFFERENT OBSERVERS.

(THE CHRISTIAN BIBLE PUTS THE CREATION OF EARTH ON DAY ONE; MAKING THE AGE OF EARTH EQUAL TO THE AGE OF THE UNIVERSE).

BUT ALLAH KNOWS BEST!
