[Tabarani, classed as Sahih]

SURAH AL- IKHLAS (THE PURITY; CHAPTER 112)

Anas mentioned that a man said to the Prophet (peace be upon him) , ‘I really love this surah’. The Prophet replied, ‘And your love for it will enable you to enter paradise’
[Tirmidhi 2826/A, Riyad as-Salihin by Imam an-Nawawi Ch.183 #1013]

Abu Sa’id al-Khudri (May Allah be pleased with him) reported that the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) said about the surah, “Say: He is Allah, Absolute Oneness” (112), ‘By Him in Whose hand my soul is, it is equal to one third of the Qur’an!’

Abdullah Ibn ‘Abbas and Anas Ibn Malik (May Allah be pleased with them) reported that the Prophet (peace be upon him) said, ‘Whoever recited Surah Zilzilah (99) would get the reward of reciting half the Qur’an. Whoever recited surah al Kafirun (109) would get a reward as if reading a quarter of the Qur’an. Whoever recited Surah al Ikhlas (112) would get a reward as if reading one third of the Qur’an’.
[at-Tirmidhi 2818/A]

Anas (May Allah be pleased with him) said: “When you recite Surah Al-Fatihah and Surah Al-Ikhlas upon lying on your bed, you will be safeguarded and should become fearless of every thing except death.”
[Narrated by Baraa, Tafseer Mazhari 1:31]

Abu Sa’id al-Khudri (May Allah be pleased with him) reported that the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) said to his Companions, “Are any of you unable to recite a third of the Qur’an in a night?” That was difficult for them and they said, “Which of us is able to do that, Messenger of Allah?” He said, “[The surah] ‘Say: He is Allah, Absolute Oneness, Allah, the Everlasting Sustainer of all’ (112) constitutes a third of the Qur’an.’”

The latter version has ‘fifty times’ and he did not mention ‘unless he is in debt’

A’isha (May Allah be pleased with her) reported that whenever the Prophet (peace be upon him) went to bed every night, he used to cup his hands together and blow over it after reciting Surat Al-Ikhlas, Surat Al-Falaq and Surat An-Nas, and then rub his hands over whatever parts of his body he was able to rub, starting with his head, face and front of his body. He used to do that three times.

[Sahih al-Bukhari 6:61 #535]

‘Uqbah Ibn ‘Amir (May Allah be pleased with him) reported that the messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) said ‘No seeker of refuge can seek refuge with anything like these two’ [Abu Dawud]

ALLAHU AKBAR!!

Spread the knowledge so it will be Sadqa-e-Jaaria (everlasting charity) 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]

Prophet Mohammed, Mercy to the entire world.

The people of Ta’'if ordered their children to throw
rocks and stones at prophet Muhammad (peace be
upon him) to drive them out of the city. The rocks
that were thrown at him by the children caused
him to bleed seriously, so much that his feet
became stuck to his shoes by the drying blood.
When Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him)
was outside the city walls, he almost collapsed.
They went a short distance outside of the town and
stopped in a vineyard that belonged to two
Meccans who were there at the time.
The owners of the vineyard had seen how he had
been persecuted in Mecca and on this occasion
they felt some sympathy toward their fellow citizen.
They had his wounds dressed, and let him rest and
recuperate until he felt strong enough to resume
his journey across the rough terrain between Ta’if
and Mecca. It was there that he had the famous
encounter with the angel of the mountains.
We have the following account from `Â’ishah, the
wife of the Prophet (peace be upon him), when she
asked him: “Was there ever a day that was worse
for you than the Battle of Uhud?”
The Prophet replied:
Your tribe (Quraysh) had troubled me a lot, and the
most severe of this trouble was on the day of
'Aqaba when I presented myself to Ibn `Abd Yalâyil
b. `Abd Kulâl and he did not respond to my
request. So I departed, overwhelmed with sorrow,
and proceeded on, without rest until I found myself
at Qarn al-Tha`âlib where I lifted my head towards
the sky to see a cloud shading me unexpectedly. I
looked up and saw within it Gabriel. He called me
saying: “Allah has heard what your people have
been saying to you, and how they have disputed
you. Allah has sent the Angel of the Mountains to
you so that you may order him to do whatever you
wish to these people.”
The Angel of the Mountains called and greeted me,
and then said: “O Muhammad! Order what you
wish. If you like, I will cause the two mountains to
fall upon them.”
I said: “No, for I hope that Allah will bring forth
from their progeny people who will worship Allah
Alone, and none besides Him.” [Sahîh al-Bukhârî
(4/81, 8/168). Sahîh Muslim (3/1420)]
We have only sent you as a means of mercy for the
entire world'. (Glorious Quran, 21:107)

Paying Attention when the Imam is Giving the Khutba on the Day of juma'a........

related to me from Malik from Abu'z Zinad from al-Araj from Abu Hurayra that the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, said, "Even saying to your companion 'Listen' while the imam is giving the khutba on the day of jumua, is to speak foolishly."
..Ibn Shihab said, "The imam coming out stops prayer and his speaking stops conversation."

Towards understanding few verses of Glorious Quran.

The Revelation of ALLAH(the Quran)is not an
occasion of distress, but is a Gift of Mercy from
ALLAH Most Gracious.
ALLAH's revelation is not an occasion for man's
distress; it is a Message to show that ALLAH the
All-Knowing sits on the throne of Mercy and guides
all affairs. There is no god but He; to Him belong
all the Most Beautiful Names.
Surah Ta Ha
Chapter 20:1-8
Bismillah Ar Rahman Ar Raheem
"Ta Ha. We have not sent down the Quran to thee
to be(an occasion)for thy distress,but only as an
admonition to those who fear (ALLAH)- a
revelation from Him Who created the earth and the
heavens on high. "
[Surah Ta Ha 20:1-4]
ALLAH's revelation may cause some human
troubles for two reasons:
(1) it checks man's selfishness and narrowness of
view, and
(2) it annoys the wicked and causes them to jeer
and persecute.
These are mere incidental things,due to man's own
shortcomings. As far as the trouble is concerned,
the Revelation is meant to give a warning, so that
persecutors may be reclaimed, (and of course for
men of faith it is comfort and consolation,though
that point does not arise in this context.
"(ALLAH) Most Gracious is firmly established on
the throne (of authority). To Him belongs what is
in the heavens and on earth, and all between
them,and all beneath the soil. If thou pronounce
the word aloud(it is no matter): for verily He
Knoweth what is secret and what is yet more
hidden. "
[Surah Ta Ha 20:5-7]
If things seem to be wrong in our imperfect vision
on this earth, we must remember that ALLAH
(Subhana Wa Ta'la),Who encompasses all Creation
and sits on the throne of Grace and Mercy,is in
command,and our Faith tells us that all must be
right. ALLAH's authority is not like an authority on
earth, which maybe questioned,or which may not
last. His authority is "firmly established".
An exhaustive definition of everything we can
conceive of- what is in the heavens, on the earth,
or between,or within the bowels of the earth. See
also Surah 10:3
"Verily your Lord is ALLAH, Who created the
heavens and the earth in six Days,then He
established Himself on the Throne (of authority,
regulating and governing all things. No intercessor
(can plead with Him) except after His leave (hath
been obtained). This is ALLAH your Lord; Him
therefore serve ye: will yet not receive admonition?
"
[Surah Yunus 10:3]
"ALLAH! there is no god but He! To Him belong the
Most Beautiful Names. "
[Surah Ta Ha 20:8]
ALLAH(Subhana Wa Ta'la) is all-in-all, and the
most beautiful things we can think of are referable
to Him. His Names refer to His attributes which
are like titles of Honour and Glory.
Say: "Call upon ALLAH, or Call upon Rahman: by
whatever name you call upon Him, (it is well): for
to Him belong the Most Beautiful Names. Neither
speak thy Prayer aloud,nor speak it in a low
tone,but seek a middle course between. "
[Surah Al Isra 17:110]
Subhana ALLAH!

The Mosques

The Prophet of Allah (peace and blessings be
upon him) granted permission to Muslim women
to attend the mosque and pray standing behind
the rows of men. He even advised the
Companions:
"Do not prevent the female servants of Allah from
going to the mosque." And husbands were
specifically told by him: "When your womenfolk
ask you for permission to attend the mosque, do
not prevent them."
Of course this permission to attend the mosques
was on the condition that women strictly observed
the various restrictions imposed upon them by the
Shari'ah regarding dress, etc., and it is known that
the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him)
considered it preferable for women to pray in their
own homes rather than attend the mosques. This
is borne out by the following incident.
Once the wife of Abu Hamid Sa'adi pleaded with
the Prophet to be allowed to attend his mosque
(the Prophet's Mosque in Medina) as she was
very fond of offering prayers behind him. He told
her,
"What you say is right, but it is better for you to
offer prayer in a closed room than in a courtyard.
Your prayer in a courtyard is better than on a
verandah, and your offering prayer in the mosque
of your own locality is better than your coming to
our mosque for it."
Thereafter she appointed a room for offering
prayers and continued offering prayers there till
her death, never even once going to the mosque.
There is a clear tradition of the Prophet (peace
and blessings be upon him) encouraging women
to offer their prayers inside their houses: "The best
mosques for women are the inner parts of their
houses."
Since the Prophet had not forbidden women to
attend the mosques, they continued to come to
the mosques. But after his death it became
increasingly clear that it was not in keeping with
the dignity and honor of Muslim women to come
to the mosques for prayers, especially at night,
because men, being what they were, would tease
them. Therefore the khalifah 'Umar told women
not to come to the mosques, but to offer their
prayers inside their own houses. The women of
Medina resented this prohibition and complained
to Ayshah. But they received a fitting reply from
her:
"If the Prophet knew what 'Umar knows, he would
not have granted you permission to go out (to the
mosque)."

Prophetic Reminders On The Importance of Prayer...

In the Name of Allah, Most Merciful &
Compassionate
The Prophet (Peace and blessings be upon him)
said in this regard: ” The first thing that will be
judged among a person’s deeds on the Day of
Resurrection is the prayer. If that is in good order,
he will pass the test and prosper, and it that is
defective, he will fail the test and will be a loser.
(Tirmidhi)
‘Umar ibn al-Khattab reported that a man asked
the Prophet: “Messenger of Allah, what action is
dearest to Allah Most High?” The Prophet said,”
Prayer at its proper time.The one who does not
pray has no religion. Prayer is the main pillar of
the religion.”
