Sahih Bukhari 1.58
Narrated Ibn `Umar: Allah's Apostle said, "Amongst the trees, there is a tree, the leaves of which do not fall and is like a Muslim. Tell me the name of that tree." Everybody started thinking about the trees of the desert areas. And I thought of the date−palm tree but felt shy to answer the others then asked, "What is that tree, O Allah's Apostle ?" He replied, "It is the date−palm true."

Sahih Bukhari 1.57: Narrated `Abdullah bin `Amr: Once the Prophet remained behind us in a journey. He joined us while we were performing ablution for the prayer which was over−due. We were just passing wet hands over our feet (and not washing them properly) so the Prophet addressed us in a loud voice and said twice or thrice: "Save your heels from the fire."

Engagement does not mean that she is your mahram.
The Pre Marriage dangers: By - Nisaar Nadiadwala
A friend of mine got his daughter engaged.
They were a rich family so there was a party to celebrate.
It was more like a reception of a wedding.
The couple stood on the stage and the ceremony began with a ring in each other's fingers.
People clapped like in a birthday party candles blow off and flocked to congrajulate.
The bride did not have a hijab and it was all a mix gathering like an exhibition of a Barbie Bride and manequin Husband.
Everybody agreed that the couple was awesome nd wished them a happy marriage life
The nikah was fixed for next year.
but in a few months the engagement broke off.
There were many reasons hurled by both the sides.
But one wise man summed it up this way :
The couple enjoyed companionship without halal and behaved like a husband and wife before they were, so soon they got saturated of each other.
They quickly saw each other's human weakness and flaws, which are common in each of us so the relations landed before it could take off.
It took two years and hundreds of certified clarifications for the girl's parents to get another boy for their daughter."We wasted a lot of money" the parents mourned.
But they didnt seem to mourn about the unIslamic liberty that the
Namahram boy took with their daugther in the pretext of being their'son in law',
which Islamically he was not.
One of the most common and dangerous error about fixing up nikah is the term 'engagement' which is made to appear as a valid commitment of nikah.
Those who do not know the basics of deen, nor have Islamic friend circle to guide them are the biggest victim of this.
It is astonishing to know that even'the so called practicing Muslms', people in beard and hijab attend such engagements and participate in a ritual under the pressure of the host!
I have yet to hear a ( Nikah or Jumuah) khutbah in any masjid where the speaker speaks about engagement as not a part of nikah.
In my Da'wah life of 21 years I have attended around 1000 Jumuah khutbas attentively in more than 200 different masajids of India but I am surprised how it . not come to the mind of the khateeb to address it.
Clarifying that engagement is not a part of Nikah ritual has become as neccesary as talks on discouraging dowry.
It comes no where near any essentiality of Nikah.
Engagement does not mean that she is your mahram.
You have no right'to take her out'for a coffee in a restaurant.
You have no right to message her on wattsapp as if you are already her husband.
Such type of togetherness is fahisha, and asking it as a licence to drive'your wife to be'is an interferance in the shariah of Allah.
No one has a right to transform a haram into halal.
She is not your wife and there is no term'FIANCEE'in Islamic Marriage Code.
Either she is your wife or she is not your wife.
Either she is your mahram or she is not your mahram.
One can fix the nikah and the date can be later but till then there should be no intermingling between the two.
Or one can get married and the rukhsati can be later.
But let the community realise that their daughters are not available for haram fun in the garb of engagment.
Engagement ritual is a crap..
Dust it into a bin.
May Allah forgive us.....
1. The WORDS of the nasheed must be FREE of HARAAM and foolish words.
2. The nasheed should NOT be accompanied by MUSICAL INSTRUMENTS. No musical instrument is permitted except the DUFF FOR WOMEN on certain occasions.
3. It should be free of SOUND EFFECTS that IMITATE MUSICAL instruments, because what counts is what appears to be the case, and imitating haraam instruments is not permissible, especially when the bad effect is the same as that which happens with real instruments.
4. Listening to nasheed SHOULD NOT BECOME a HABIT which takes up a person’s time and affects his duties and mustahabb actions, such as affecting his reading of QUR’AAN and calling others to Allaah.
5. The PERFORMER of a nasheed SHOULD NOT be a WOMAN performing in FRONT of MEN, or a MAN with an enchan6ting APPEARANCE or VOICE performing in front of WOMEN.
6. One should avoid LISTENING to performers with SOFT VOICES who move their BODIES in RHYTHM, because there is FITNAH in all of that and it is an imitation of the evildoers.
7. One should AVOID the IMAGES that are put on the covers of their TAPES, and more important than that, one should avoid the video CLIPS that accompany their nasheeds, especially those which contain provocative movements and imitations of immoral singers.
8. The PURPOSE of the nasheed should be the words, not the tune.
ALLAH KNOWS BEST
Do you know the virtue of fasting on Mondays & thursdays?... The prophet Muhammad (S.A.W) used to fast on Mondays and Thursdays and when he was asked about it by Usamah (R.A), he (S.A.W) said: "The deeds are presented (to Allaah) on Mondays and Thursdays, so I like that my deeds are lifted while I am fasting.” [An-Nasaa’i and Abu Daawood].
In another hadith, Abu Hurayrah narrated that the Prophet (S.A.W) used to fast on Mondays and Thursdays and he was asked:
''O Prophet of Allaah, why do you fast on Mondays and Thursdays?, and he replied: ''On Mondays and Thursdays, Allaah forgives to every Muslim except for two persons who are deserting (enmity and disputes) each other, and Allaah would say to the angels, “leave them until they reconcile.” [Ibn Maajah].
So brothers and sisters in Islam, let get our intentions right and our minds focused, and BI'IZNILLAH (by the permission of Allah) fast tomorrow, we will be forgiven and rewarded Insha'Allah.
It worth it! ☑☑☑☑☑☑☑☑☑☑☑☑

Just a reminder
Three of the many questions which the children will ask parents on the day of Judgement
1 mum and dad, was I born in a rightful marriage ( meaning that was nikkah performed pelio to my birth??)
Am sure many of us the answer will be yes, if not time to correct things is now. How let's consult our sheikhs, they will guide us.
2. What name did you give me when I was born??
On this one two most of us will be safe coz most of our children do have beautiful and Islamic names.
3. How did you bring me up as your child?? This is the most dangerous question which we will be asked on that day. Do we have the answer??
Most of us do fall victims when it comes to this. Upbringing of our children ; what did we or are we teaching our children??
Nowadays alhamdulillah we have Islamic schools, may be the school is far what effort have we make to make sure that we are going to be safe on the day of Judgement??
Today when it comes to school , we are able to take our children as far as possible so that they can be someone when they grow, we even get tuition teachers at home so that they can be what we want them to be. What about their RELIGION?? What do they know about it?? Do they know how to pray, do they know how read the Qur'an?? How much have we spent on that. Do we have a sheikh, Aalim, etc at home to teach our children or family about our Deen?? Most of us we fall victim of this and the answer we give is we are Busy! Remember it's our responsibility and it has to be our primary thing and not secondary. Let's think deep on this and ponder over it. Remember it's a reminder. Allah tells us in suratul mulk, aya number 8 just at the end, it says ALAM YA'TIKUM NADHEER, which simply means, did the warner or reminder came to remind you??
Praise be to Allah, the Lord of the Worlds, and blessings and peace be upon our Prophet Muhammad, the Seal of the Prophets and Leader of the Messengers, and upon all his family and companions.
My dear brothers and sisters in Islam, as we all know that the first month in the Islamic Calendar is “Muharram”, so here we will focus ourselves mainly on the virtues and the importance of fasting in this holy month, especially the 1st-10 Days.
The month of Muharram is the first month of the Arabic year, and it is one of the four sacred months of Allaah. Allaah says (interpretation of the meaning): “Verily, the number of months with Allaah is twelve months (in a year), so was it ordained by Allaah on the Day when He created the heavens and the earth; of them four are Sacred (i.e. the 1st (Muharram), the 7th (Rajab), the 11th (Dhul Qa’ada) and the 12th (Dhul Hijjah) months of the Islamic calendar). That is the right religion, so wrong not yourselves therein” [al-Tawbah 9:36]
The most important days in this month of Muharram are the 1st Ten days and the most important of them is the day of Aashora which is on the 10th of Muharram which will fall on the (23rd October-2015) Insha’Allah.
(This is the day on which Prophet Musa Alayhis Salaam and his followers crossed the Red Sea miraculously, and the Pharaoh was drowned in its water. This is the correct way, we should not use or see this day as a day to attribute to the killing of Hazrat Husayn (May Allah be Pleased with him) or something that is in not accordance with the Sunnah (The Prophet’s Way (Peace be Upon Him)).
We should also NOT single out this day only for fasting as the Jews were doing during the Prophet’s (pbuh) time, we should either fast one day before it or after it, that is, you can either choose between the 9th or 11th of Muharram (i.e. 22nd or 24th October) Plus the day itself which is on the 23rd October (10th of Muharram) Insha’Allah.
i.e 22+23 or 23+24.
This is evidence where the Prophet (pbuh) said: "Observe the fast of Aashora and oppose the Jews. Fast a day before it or a day after.
So my brothers and sisters in Islam, let us as true Muslims always take the advantage of the blessed occasions and days of Islam. Let’s spare no efforts in drawing ourselves closer to Allah. In doing so, we should concern ourselves with knowing the virtuous days and occasions in Islam so as to follow our Prophet's suit (Peace be upon him) in all spheres of life. Therefore, we should take advantage of this opportunity. May Allah make it easy for us as we strive to please Him. Ameen ya Rabb.
The month of Allah is a great & blessed month. It is the first month of the Hijri year & is one of the sacred months:“Verily, the number of months with Allah is twelve months (in a year), so was it ordained by Allah on the Day when He created the heavens and the earth; of them four are Sacred, that is the right religion, so wrong not yourselves therein”[9:36].
Abu Bakr (ra) : the Prophet (saw) said: “The division of time has turned to its original form which was current the day Allaah created the heavens and earth. The year consists of twelve months of which four are sacred: three consecutive months, Dhu’l-Qa’dah, Dhu’l-Hijjah, Muharram, and Rajab of Mudar which comes between Jumada and Sha’baan.” Bukhari.
Qataadah & Ibn ‘Abbaas said,“so wrong not yourselves therein” [9:36]: applies in all months, then Allah singled out 4-months, made them sacred, emphasize their sanctity & He made sin during these months more grave, & He made righteous deeds & the reward thereof greater
Qataadah said: Allah has chosen elites from His creation: from among the angels He chose Messengers, from among mankind He chose Messengers, from among speech He chose remembrance of Him (dhikr), from among spaces on earth He chose the mosques, from among the months He chose Ramadan & the sacred months, from among days of the week He chose Friday (Jumu‘ah), from among days of the year he chose the 1st 10 days as the best & from among nights He chose Laylat al-Qadr
⛅So, venerate that which has been chosen by Allah, for people of understanding & wisdom respect that which has been chosen by Allah. We should not confuse the months of Hajj (10th ,11th & 12th months: Shawwaal, Dhu’l-Qi’dah & Dhu’l-Hijjah) with the sacred months (the 1st, 7th, 11th & 12th months)
It is virtuous to observe a great deal of naafil (supererogatory) fasts during the month of Muharram. Abu Hurayrah (ra) : Messenger of Allah (saw) said: “The best fast after Ramadan is in the month of Allah Muharram.” Muslim
The phrase “the month of Allah (shahr Allah)” is indicative of the veneration this month deserves, as it is attributed to Allah. Al-Qaari said: What appears to be the case is that what is meant is the entire month of Muharram.
This sacred & virtuous month (Muharram) also contains another virtuous day called ‘ASHOORA’.Prophet (saw) said: “……fasting the day of ‘Ashoora’ I hope Allaah will expiate thereby for the year that came before it.”Muslim
⚠But it is proven that the Prophet (saw) never fasted any month in full apart from Ramadan.So this hadeeth is to be understood as meaning that it is encouraged to fast a great deal during the month of Muharram, not to fast the entire month.Prophet (saw) fasted a great deal during Sha‘baan, & perhaps the virtues of Muharram was not revealed to him until the end of his life, before he was able to fast during this month. Muslim.

2⃣The false notion that it is FORBIDDEN to get married in Muharram is falsehood of the SHIAS(KUFAAR)http://islamqa.info/en/193281
❓Is it an innovation in the deen to fast on the 11th of Muharram as well as ‘Ashoora’? NO it is not.http://islamqa.info/en/128423.
Does fasting of ‘Ashoora’ expiate major sins? http://islamqa.info/en/21775.

Assalaam aleykum waragmatullah wabarakatu
In Salaah , shaytaan may somehow make us lose our concentration , yet this has happened not only in this generation ,but to some of the best among the Prophets Sahaba ,let me relate unto thee a story of one of the Sahaba
Ali ibn Abu Talib was of the greatest men and a very Allah fearing person ,yet he had gotten into a phase where he lost concentration in Salaah. He decided then to take this matter unto the Prophet Muhammad Mustapha salallah aleyhi wasalaam. When he did so ,the prophet told him to perform 4 raka'ats of Salaah in full concentration ,in return the Prophet (peace and blessings upon him) would give him one of his blessed garments. Ali ( r.a ) agreed to this ( i mean who wouldn't want even a cotton thread of Rasul Allah Salallah aleyhi wasalaams blessed clothes). At the first raka'at Ali (r.a) concentrated as well as the second and third , at the fourth raka'at Ali (r.a) wondered which colour garment will the Prophet (peace be upon him ) give him
This story shows that even the most pious could lose their concentration in Salaah and begin to wander around in there own thoughts
5 tips for concentrating in salaah
1) Imagine that Allah the most high is watching your every movement while you are making salaah ( which is actually true , HE is watching you)
2) If you know the meaning of the surat you are reciting ,dwell unto its meaning
3) focus your attention unto your Prayer mat at a specific spot ,hold firm unto that spot and recite (the duas u should recite in salaah)
4)Think of your sins and sincerely regret it ,while in salaah think of your sins and acknowledge them ,and the prayer is a way to remove that sin
5)If all fails ,close your eyes and remember jannah,imagine the beautiful gardens while reciting your duas and surats
Shaytaan may try to trick you in many ways, yet you have the power to defeat him ☝☝☝☝just because you can .

Bismillahir Rahmaanir Raheem.
Reported by Ibn Umar (RA): I heard Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) saying, "A believer will be brought close to his Rab(Lord) on the Day of Resurrection and enveloping him in His Mercy, He (ALLAH) will make him confess his sins by saying: Do you remember (doing) this sin and this sin?' He will reply: My Rab, I remember.' Then Allah will say: I covered it up for you in the life of world, and I forgive it for you today.' Then the record of his good deeds will be handed to him”. (By Imam Bukhari and Imam Muslim).
This kind of favour is for those who forgave others in dunya, regretted their own sins and repentent to Allah with sincerity. May Allah aid us to forgive each other and regret our sins sincerely without repeating them. Aameen.
We have not seen anything that creates LoVe between two individuals such as nikah".

This is a Courageous Story from a Muslim sister
to all our Muslim Ladies:
Is about Hijjab!
Story of Fatema in her own words:
I was sitting in my room and thanking Allah SWT
for making my dreams come true. Of course , this
is just the beginning, I thought to myself.
I had joined one of the best colleges in India ,
this was the only thing I had been thinking of for
last two years while studying and finally I was
here ... I was extremely Happy!!!
A week passed , and I was called to the dean's
office and He said, "You can't go to the
Laboratory (Lab) for your 'practicals' with your
Hijab, you should wear a Lab dress ( short shirt
with half sleeves and pant ) and you cannot wear
your head scarf either, coz' in the lab while
working with the equipment, your dress may
entangle or catch fire and your dress code is not
congenial to the lab environment"
I was taken aback, in a flash of a moment, all
my dreams were shattered …. The first thought
that came to my mind was "I CAN'T GIVE UP MY
HIJAB" and next came the question "Can I give up
my dream??? …"
I am not a girl who gives up easily, I decided to
fight….
I went to the principle and explained him my
situation and told him I will not take off my hijab
and I can't wear the Lab dress. However what I
can do is I can wear a Lab coat over my regular
dress along with my Head scarf… He said "NO,
we can't change our rules for one student. For
years, this is the rule and if you want to study
here , you will have to follow it.."
I kept insisting …...finally he said, "Go and speak
to the Head of the Department (HOD) of your
department and if he permits you, I have No
problem."
I came back to hostel and told this story to my
seniors, They all said.. "WHAT!!! Your HOD !!!…
Impossible .. Mr.Joshi is the Hitler of the college
and no student has ever dared to go and speak to
him.. He will reject you in a minute. The
principle didn’t want to PERMIT you, since you
insisted, he sent you to Mr.Joshi, cause he
knows Mr.Joshi will never allow you and no one
can argue with him. So Forget about it"
I was very sad but I had hope.. I prayed to Allah
SWT for help .
Next Morning, I went to my HOD Mr. Joshi's
room, OH GOD, How scary the moment was.. I
still remember it… I knocked the door, with his
strict and harsh voice , he said "Come in"…I
entered the room..he didn’t even look at me.. He
was reading something… while his head was in
the papers he said "What do you want?" With
shivering voice I said " I am a Muslim and my
religion doesn’t allow me to wear a lab dress
and I cant give up my Hijab. I need your
permission to wear my hijab in the lab."
As I said this, he looked at me and asked me
"Are you a Muslim ?"
I was surprised as he asked that, I said "Yes"
Next thing he said was " Permission granted "
and he signed a paper which I had brought with
me which says I have a permission to wear hijab
in lab and I don’t have to wear a lab dress,
instead I can wear a Lab coat
I was in tears… I was Happy.. Surprised…
shocked!!!
Then he asked me to sit and said don’t be
surprised… I know everything about Islam and I
respect them for their values.
Then he asked " Do you want to know how I
know about them?"
He started his story.. He said " When I was a
young boy , aroung 12 years old, and Hindus and
Muslims riots started off in India, Hindus were
killing Muslims and Muslims were killing Hindus.
We used to live in a Muslim area and our parents
were scared that Muslims would come and kills
us... The situation was bad . That time our
neighbors promised my parents that they'll keep
me with them till the situation becomes better
and my parents had no other option but to leave
me with them, and go to another town.
I stayed with them for almost a month and they
took care of me like their own son.. I saw them
praying, reciting Quran and abide by the laws of
Islam. Also just because, I was a Vegetarian, they
didn’t cook non-veg, till I was there. so that I
don’t feel uncomfortable. I still consider that lady
as my Mother. I know you people very well.
From now on, anyone says anything about your
Hijab, just tell them my Name and you will have
no problem"
Atakbir!
Indeed, after that day in my 4years of life, no one
ever said anything about my Hijab. I not only had
permission to wear my Hijab comfortably but now
I had some one to protect it….
Allahu Akbar!
Alhamdullilahi Rabbil A'alameen...
Dear friends, all I want to tell you is if you strive
in the way of Allah SWT, He definitely helps you
as promised. Is it not the grand plan of Allah
SWT, that a Muslim
family helped a 12 year old kid, who grew up to
become the HOD of department, who in turn
protects the Hijab of a Muslim girl…. Truly as told
by the ALLAH SWT, HE is the best planner."
Its never late… you can start Today.. and Allah
SWT will help you through means that you've
never imagined.
When you plan to do something to please Allah,
Allah will surely make a way for YOU.
ALHAMDULILLAH
This is a Courageous Story from a Muslim sister to all our Muslim Ladies:
Is about Hijjab!
Story of Fatema in her own words:
I was sitting in my room and thanking Allah SWT for making my dreams come true. Of course , this is just the beginning, I thought to myself.
I had joined one of the best colleges in India ,
this was the only thing I had been thinking of for last two years while studying and finally I was here ... I was extremely Happy!!!
A week passed , and I was called to the dean's office and He said, "You can't go to the Laboratory (Lab) for your 'practicals' with your Hijab, you should wear a Lab dress ( short shirt with half sleeves and pant ) and you cannot wear
your head scarf either, coz' in the lab while
working with the equipment, your dress may entangle or catch fire and your dress code is not congenial to the lab environment"
I was taken aback, in a flash of a moment, all
my dreams were shattered …. The first thought that came to my mind was "I CAN'T GIVE UP MY HIJAB" and next came the question "Can I give up my dream??? …"
I am not a girl who gives up easily, I decided to fight….
I went to the principle and explained him my
situation and told him I will not take off my hijab and I can't wear the Lab dress. However what I
can do is I can wear a Lab coat over my regular dress along with my Head scarf… He said "NO,
we can't change our rules for one student. For years, this is the rule and if you want to study here , you will have to follow it.."
I kept insisting …...finally he said, "Go and speak to the Head of the Department (HOD) of your department and if he permits you, I have No problem."
I came back to hostel and told this story to my seniors, They all said.. "WHAT!!! Your HOD !!!…Impossible .. Mr.Joshi is the Hitler of the college and no student has ever dared to go and speak to him.. He will reject you in a minute. The
principle didn’t want to PERMIT you, since you
insisted, he sent you to Mr.Joshi, cause he
knows Mr.Joshi will never allow you and no one can argue with him. So Forget about it"
I was very sad but I had hope.. I prayed to Allah SWT for help .
Next Morning, I went to my HOD Mr. Joshi's
room, OH GOD, How scary the moment was.. I still remember it… I knocked the door, with his strict and harsh voice , he said "Come in"…I entered the room..he didn’t even look at me.. He was reading something… while his head was in the papers he said "What do you want?" With shivering voice I said " I am a Muslim and my religion doesn’t allow me to wear a lab dress
and I cant give up my Hijab. I need your
permission to wear my hijab in the lab."
As I said this, he looked at me and asked me
"Are you a Muslim ?"
I was surprised as he asked that, I said "Yes"
Next thing he said was " Permission granted "
and he signed a paper which I had brought with me which says I have a permission to wear hijab in lab and I don’t have to wear a lab dress, instead I can wear a Lab coat
I was in tears… I was Happy.. Surprised…
shocked!!!
Then he asked me to sit and said don’t be
surprised… I know everything about Islam and I respect them for their values.
Then he asked " Do you want to know how I know about them?"

One day a man saw an old lady, stranded on the side of the road, but even in the dim light of day, he could see she needed help. So he pulled up in front of her Mercedes and got out. His Pontiac was still sputtering when he approached her.
Even with the smile on his face, she looked worried. No one had stopped to help for the last hour or so. Was he going to hurt her? He didn't look safe; he looked poor and hungry.
He could see that she was frightened, standing out there in the cold. He knew how she felt. It was that chill which only fear can put in you.
He said, 'I'm here to help you, ma'am. Why don't you wait in the car where it's warm? By the way, my name is Bryan Anderson.'
Well, all she had was a flat tire, but for an old lady, that was bad enough. Bryan crawled under the car looking for a place to put the jack, skinning his knuckles a time or two. Soon he was able to change the tire. But he had to get dirty and his hands hurt.
As he was tightening up the lug nuts, she rolled down the window and began to talk to him. She told him that she was from St. Louis and was only just passing through. She couldn't thank him enough for coming to her aid.
Bryan just smiled as he closed her trunk. The lady asked how much she owed him. Any amount would have been all right with her. She already imagined all the awful things that could have happened had he not stopped. Bryan never thought twice about being paid. This was not a job to him. This was helping someone in need, and God knows there were plenty, who had given him a hand in the past. He had lived his whole life that way, and it never occurred to him to act any other way.
He told her that if she really wanted to pay him back, the next time she saw someone who needed help, she could give that person the assistance they needed, and Bryan added, 'And think of me.'
He waited until she started her car and drove off. It had been a cold and depressing day, but he felt good as he headed for home, disappearing into the twilight.
A few miles down the road the lady saw a small cafe. She went in to grab a bite to eat, and take the chill off before she made the last leg of her trip home. It was a dingy looking restaurant. Outside were two old gas pumps. The whole scene was unfamiliar to her. The waitress came over and brought a clean towel to wipe her wet hair. She had a sweet smile, one that even being on her feet for the whole day couldn't erase. The lady noticed the waitress was nearly eight months pregnant, but she never let the strain and aches change her attitude. The old lady wondered how someone who had so little could be so giving to a stranger. Then she remembered Bryan ..
After the lady finished her meal, she paid with a hundred dollar bill. The waitress quickly went to get change for her hundred dollar bill, but the old lady had slipped right out the door. She was gone by the time the waitress came back. The waitress wondered where the lady could be. Then she noticed something written on the napkin.
There were tears in her eyes when she read what the lady wrote: 'You don't owe me anything. I have been there too. Somebody once helped me out, the way I'm helping you. If you really want to pay me back, here is what you do: Do not let this chain of love end with you.'
Under the napkin were four more $100.
Well, there were tables to clear, sugar bowls to fill, and people to serve, but the waitress made it through another day. That night when she got home from work and climbed into bed, she was thinking about the money and what the lady had written. How could the lady have known how much she and her husband needed it? With the baby due next month, it was going to be hard....
She knew how worried her husband was, and as he lay sleeping next to her, she gave him a soft kiss and whispered soft and low, 'Everything's going to be all right. I love you, Bryan Anderson.'
There is an old saying.. 'What goes around comes around.' Today I send you this story, and I'm asking you to pass it on. Let this light shine. God works in wonderful ways and sometimes puts people in our lives for a reason.
Don't delete it, don't return it... Simply, pass it on to a friend, I just did...

✨The month of Muharram is coming upon us in about a week, insha’Allah. Here are some interesting facts about this month:
**1. The month of Muharram is one of the four sacred months singled out by Allah (SWT).
“Indeed, the number of months with Allah is twelve [lunar] months in the register of Allah [from] the day He created the heavens and the earth; of these, four are sacred. That is the correct religion, so do not wrong yourselves during them. And fight against the disbelievers collectively as they fight against you collectively. And know that Allah is with the righteous [who fear Him].” (Surah Tawbah, Ayah 36; http://quran.com/9/36)
The four sacred months being referred to here are Dhul-Qa’dah, Dhul-Hijjah, Muharram, and Rajab. Allah’s command “do not wrong yourselves” applies in all months, but by singling out the sanctity of these four, He (SWT) made sins during these months more grave, and He made righteous deeds during them and their reward greater.
In fact, the sanctity of these months was recognized from the days of Ibrahim (AS). Even the pagans at the time of Prophet Muhammad (ﷺ) observed their sanctity; despite their frequent tribal battles, they regarded fighting during these months as unlawful.
Allah (SWT) continued to hold these months as sacred in the law He gave to Prophet Muhammad (ﷺ).
**2. The best fasts after the fasts of Ramadan are those of Muharram (optional fasts). The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said, “The most virtuous fasting after the month of Ramadan is Allah's month Al-Muharram.“ [At-Tirmidhi, http://www.sunnah.com/tirmidhi/8/59]
Mentioning the month with the name of Allah (SWT) is a sign of its great status. Do note though that the Prophet (ﷺ) did not fast any other month in full apart from the month of Ramadan. So the hadith is understood to be encouraging to fast a lot in the month of Muharram, but not the whole month. [Islamqa.info, http://islamqa.info/en/21311]
**3. The day of ‘Ashura occurs in the month of Muharram. What is the day of ‘Ashura? It is the 10th of Muharram – the day on which Prophet Musa (AS) and his people miraculously crossed the Red Sea while the Pharoah was drowned in it.
Ibn ‘Abbas (may Allah be pleased with him) said:
The Prophet (ﷺ) came to Madinah and saw the Jews fasting on the day of ‘Ashura’. He said, “What is this?” They said, “This is a good day, this is the day when Allah saved the Children of Israel from their enemy and Musa fasted on this day.” He said, “We are closer to Musa than you.” So he fasted on this day and told the people to fast. [Bukhari, 1865]
Musa (AS) fasted that day out of gratitude to Allah (SWT) for saving him and his people.
Here’s the great reward for those who fast on the day of ‘Ashura:
The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) was asked about observing As-Saum (the fast) on the tenth day of Muharram, and he replied, "It is an expiation for the sins of the preceding year.“ [Muslim,http://www.sunnah.com/riyadussaliheen/9/262]
All minor sins one committed in the past year are said to be forgiven by fasting the day of ‘Ashura! What better way to start the new Islamic year.
However, in order to differentiate the Islamic way of fasting Ashura from the way of the Jews, the Prophet (ﷺ) advised to fast an additional day with the 10th of Muharram, i.e., either the 9th and 10th of Muharram or the 10th and 11th of Muharram.
**4. Lastly, the month of Muharram is the start of the new year in the Hijri calendar. Now’s a good time to repent for past mistakes.
Also try to settle all issues with your family members or relatives or friends to whom you might have hurt.
Because Allah will not forgive the injustice and hurting humans until they forgives.
Revisit your intentions, set your goals for the year as productive Muslims, and renew your ambition toward becoming better Muslims.

Al-'Abbās, the uncle of the Prophet , came to the Prophet and said,
“Ya Rasūlullāh, teach me a du'ā'.” .
The Prophet said, “O my uncle, say: Allāhumma inni asaluka al-'āfiyah
(O Allāh, I ask you for 'āfiyah).”
What is 'āfiyah? 'Āfiyah means “to save me from any afflictions.
To be healthy, you are in 'āfiyah.
To have enough money to live, you are in 'āfiyah.
To have your children protected, you are in 'āfiyah.
And if you are forgiven and not punished, you are in 'āfiyah.
'Āfiyah means
“O Allāh, protect me from any pain and suffering.”
This includes dunya and ākhirah.
Al-'Abbās thought about this for a while, and then he came back after a few days and said (paraphrased):
“Ya Rasūlullāh, this du'ā' seems a little short. I want something big.”
The Prophet said,
“My dear uncle, ask Allāh for 'āfiyah for wallāhi, you cannot be given anything better than 'āfiyah.”
It is a simple du'ā'. Sincerely mean what you say. “O Allāh, I ask You to be saved from any distress, grief, hardship, harm. Don't test me.” All of this is included in “Allāhumma inni asaluka al-'āfiyah”
Riyadh As Saliheen, Sunan At-Tirmidhi
Beloved Brothers and sisters in Islam, go through this story and then I pray that you will see the REASON TO BE GRATEFUL!!!
A man reached 70 years of age and was affected by a disease which made him unable to urinate.
The doctors told him that he needs an operation to cure the disease.
He agreed to do the operation as the problem was giving him severe pain for days.
When the operation was completed the doctor gave him a bill which covered all the costs.
After looking at the bill, the man started crying. Upon seeing this, the doctor said "If the cost is too high then we could make some other arrangements for you.
"The old man replied, "I am not crying because of the money but I am crying because Allah let me urinate for 70 years and He never sent me a bill!"
Beloved, have you thanked Allah for His countless blessings today?
Have you thought about the cost of oxygen in the hospital? Yet, God has given us free oxygen (air) since we were born.
Is all that Allah does for us not worth thanking Him for?
Can we not see that Allah is so gracious, merciful and full of compassion?
If you are truly grateful to Allah for your life, share this message with others, not because you expect a blessing but because you are grateful.
ALHAMDULILLAH,
I'm grateful!!!
Place the washed lemon in the freezer.
Once frozen, get your grater, & shred the whole lemon (no need to peel it) and sprinkle it on top of your foods!
On vegetables, salad, ice cream, soup, cereals, noodles, spaghetti sauce,
rice, sushi, fish dishes, ... the list is endless.
All the foods will get an unexpected wonderful taste!
Most likely, you only think of lemon juice as vitamin C ??
Not anymore!
What's the major advantage of using the whole lemon other than preventing waste & adding new taste to your dishes?
Lemon peels contain as much as 5 to 10 times more vitamins than the lemon juice itself & that's what you've been wasting!
Lemon peels are health rejuvenators in eradicating toxic
elements in the body.
The surprising benefits of lemon is the miraculous ability to kill cancer cells! It is 10,000 times stronger
than chemotherapy!!
Why do we not know about that?
Because there are laboratories interested in making a synthetic version that will bring them huge profits.
You can now help a friend in need by letting him/her know that lemon juice is beneficial in preventing the disease.
Its taste is pleasant and it does not produce the horrific
effects of chemotherapy.
How many people will die while this closely guarded secret is kept, so as not to jeopardize the multimillionaires large corporations?
This plant is a proven remedy against cancers of all types.
It is considered also as an anti microbial spectrum against bacterial infections and fungi, effective against internal parasites and worms,
it regulates blood pressure
& an antidepressant, combats stress & nervous disorders.
The source of this information is fascinating: it comes from one of the largest drug
manufacturers in the world, says that after more than 20 laboratory tests since 1970,the extracts revealed that It destroys the malignant cells in 12 cancers, including colon, breast, prostate, lung & pancreas...
The compounds of this tree showed 10,000 times better effect than the product Adriamycin, a drug normally used chemotherapeutic in the world, slowing the growth of cancer cells.
And what is even more astonishing: this type of therapy with lemon extract only destroys malignant cancer cells and it does not affect healthy cells. .
So, give those lemons a good wash, freeze them and grate them. Your whole body will love you for it!!
Request: forward to lots of friends

The Arabic word ightisaab refers to taking something wrongfully by force. It is now used exclusively to refer to transgression against the honour of women by force (rape).
This is an abhorrent crime that is forbidden in all religions and in the minds of all wise people and those who are possessed of sound human nature. All earthly systems and laws regard this action as abhorrent and impose the strictest penalties on it, except a few states which waive the punishment if the rapist marries his victim! This is indicative of a distorted mind let alone a lack of religious commitment on the part of those who challenge Allaah in making laws. We do not know of any love or compassion that could exist between the aggressor and his victim,especially since the pain of rape cannot be erased with the passage of time – as it is said. Hence many victims of rape have attempted to commit suicide and many of them have succeeded, The failure of these marriages is proven and they are accompanied by nothing but humiliation and suffering for the woman.
Islam has a clear stance which states that this repugnant action is haraam and imposes a deterrent punishment on the one who commits it.
Islam closes the door to the criminal who wants to commit this crime. Western studies have shown that most rapists are already criminalswho commit their crimes under the influence of alcohol and drugs, and they take advantage of the fact that their victims are walking alone in isolated places, or staying in the house alone. These studies also show that what the criminals watch on the media and the semi-naked styles of dress in which women go out, also lead to the commission of this reprehensible crime.
The laws of Islam came to protect women's honour and modesty. Islam forbids women to wear clothes that are not modest and to travel without a mahram; it forbids a woman to shake hands with a non-mahram man. Islam encourages young men and women to marry early, and many other rulings which close the door to rape. Hence it comes as no surprise when we hear or read that most of these crimes occur in permissive societies which are looked up to by some Muslims as examples of civilization and refinement! In America – for example – International Amnesty stated in a 2004 report entitled “Stop Violence Against Women” that every 90 seconds a woman was raped during that year. What kind of life are these people living? What refinement and civilization do they want the Muslim women to take part in?
The punishment for rape in Islam is same as the punishment for zina, which is stoning if the perpetrator is married, and one hundred lashes and banishment for one year if he is not married.
Some scholars also say that he is required to pay a mahr to the woman.
Imam Maalik (may Allaah have mercy on him) said:
In our view the man who rapes a woman, whether she is a virgin or not, if she is a free woman he must pay a “dowry” like that of her peers, and if she is a slave he must pay whatever has been detracted from her value. The punishment is to be carried out on the rapist and there is no punishment for the woman who has been raped, whatever the case. End quote.
Al-Muwatta’, 2/734
Shaykh Salmaan al-Baaji (may Allaah have mercy on him) said:
In the case of a woman who is forced (raped): if she is a free woman, the one who forced her must pay her a “dowry” like that of her peers, and the hadd punishment is to be carried out on him. This is the view of al-Shaafa’i, and it is the view of al-Layth, and it was also narrated from ‘Ali ibn Abi Taalib (may Allaah be pleased with him).
Abu Haneefah and al-Thawri said: the hadd punishment is to be carried out on him but he is not obliged to pay the “dowry”.
The evidence for what we say is that the hadd punishment and the “dowry” are two rights, one of which is the right of Allaah and the other is the right of the other person. So they may be combined, as in the case of a thief whose hand is cut off and he is required to return the stolen goods. End quote.
Al-Muntaha Sharh al-Muwatta’, 5/268, 269
Ibn ‘Abd al-Barr (may Allaah have mercy on him) said:
The scholars are unanimously agreed that the rapist is to be subjected to the hadd punishment if there is clear evidence against him that he deserves the hadd punishment, or if he admits to that. Otherwise, he is to be punished (i.e., if there is no proof that the hadd punishment for zina may be carried out against him because he does not confess, and there are not four witnesses, then the judge may punish him and stipulate a punishment that will deter him and others like him). There is no punishment for the woman if it is true that he forced her and overpowered her, which may be proven by her screaming and shouting for help. End quote.
Al-Istidhkaar, 7/146
Secondly:
The rapist is subject to the hadd punishment for zina, even if the rape was not carried out at knife-point or gun-point. If the use of a weapon was threatened, then he is a muhaarib, and is to be subjected to the hadd punishment described in the verse in which Allaah says (interpretation of the meaning):
“The recompense of those who wage war against Allaah and His Messenger and do mischief in the land is only that they shall be killed or crucified or their hands and their feet be cut off from opposite sides, or be exiled from the land. That is their disgrace in this world, and a great torment is theirs in the Hereafter”
[al-Maaidah 5:33]
So the judge has the choice of the four punishments mentioned in this verse, and may choose whichever he thinks is most suitable to attain the objective, which is to spread peace and security in society, and ward off evildoers and aggressors.
