Who is poor? Who is rich?

Who is poor?

A wealthy woman goes to a saree store and tells the boy at the counter "Bhaiya show some cheap sarees. It is my son's marriage and I have to give to my maid."

After sometime, the maid comes to the saree shop and tells the boy at the counter "Bhaiya show some expensive sarees. I want to gift my Mistress on her son's marriage"

Poverty is in the mind or in the purse?

Who is Rich?

Once, a lady with her family was staying in a 3-star hotel for a picnic. She was the mother of a 6 month old baby.
"Can I get 1 cup of milk?" asked the lady to the 3-star hotel manager.
"Yes madam", he replied.
"But it will cost 100 bucks". "No problem", said the lady.
While driving back from hotel, the child was hungry again.
They stopped at a road side tea stall and took milk from the tea vendor
"How much?” she asked the tea vendor.
"Madam, we don't charge money for kid's milk", the old man said with a smile.
"Let me know if you need more for the journey". The lady took one more cup and left.
She wondered, "Who’s richer? The hotel manager or the old tea vendor?

Sometimes, in the race for more money, we forget that we are all humans. Let's help someone in need, without expecting something in return. It will make us feel better than what money can.
Coffee never knew that it would taste so nice and sweet, before it met milk and sugar.
We are good as individuals but become better when we meet and blend with the right people....

Stay connected.

"The world is full of nice people... If you can't find one... Be one.

May be naked in the Hereafter

#Hadith_Time

Sahih Bukhari 1.115

Narrated Um Salama: One night Allah's Apostle got up and said, "Subhan Allah! How many afflictions have been descended tonight and how many treasures have been disclosed! Go and wake the sleeping lady occupants of these dwellings (his wives) up (for prayers). A well−dressed (soul) in this world may be naked in the Hereafter. "

Do you know background of ATTAHIYYAAT, as to why we recite it in every prayer?

Attahiyyaat is a very important 'Du'a' we repeat it in our daily prayers. When I learnt the importance of this, it melted my heart.
Attahiyat is actually a part of conversation between Our Creator Allaah and our beloved Prophet Muhammad ﷺ during his journey of Al Isra Wal Miraaj.

When Prophet Muhammad ﷺ met Allaah, he didn't say 'Assalamu 'Alaykum'. What is someone going to say when he meets Allaah? We can't wish Him peace because all sources of peace are through Him only.

So Prophet Muhammad ﷺ said: "Attahiyyaatu Lillahi Was Salawatu Wattayyibatu" (All compliments, all prayer and worship are for Allaah)
Allaah replied: "Assalamu 'Alayka Ayyuhannabiyyu 'Warahmatullahi Wabarkatuhu" (Peace be upon you, Oh Prophet and Allaah's Mercy and Blessings).
To this, Prophet Muhammad ﷺ replied: "Assalamu 'Alayna Wa'ala 'Ibadillihis Sa'liheen" (Peace be on us and on all good slaves of Allaah)

#Note Prophet Muhammad ﷺ included "us" in his reply... (and on all good slaves of Allaah)
And listening to this conversation between Allaah and His Messenger Sallallahu 'Alayhi Wasallam , the Angels said:
"Ash-had'u'un La ilaha illallahu Wa Ash-hadu Anna Muhammadun Abduhu Wa Rasuluh" (I bear witness that no one is worthy of worship except Allaah And I bear witness that Muhammad is His slave and Messenger).

Subhan Allaah! I now understood the importance of this conversation in our daily prayers and how the Salat was prescribed to us.

#SHARE .. Imagine if other people will know and you will get rewarded.

Taqwa

Taqwa is not only in our manners..Taqwa is not about looking islamic...Taqwa is not about sporting a beard or wearing a Hijab...Taqwa is  not appearance
BUT
Taqwa is when you miss a single prayer, you feel uneasy the whole day...
Taqwa is when you speak a lie , your instinct feels bad..
Taqwa is the guilt that follows when u hurt someone knowingly or unknowingly, Taqwa is the shame and regret that follows a sin you did knowing fully well about it's stand in the sight of Allah,
Taqwa is when you cannot sleep the whole night after disobeying or disrespecting your parents
Taqwa is to cry in the depths of night fearing none but the one above the Arsh. Taqwa is the fear that refrains us from sinning even when we are alone and nobody is looking...
Taqwa is the guts and the will to please Allah, even when the whole world is hell bent on displeasing Him...
Taqwa is to wear that beard and Hijab for the sole reason of pleasing Our Rabb and to keep it as per sunnah....
...
Taqwa is the good manners and character that loving and fearing Allah brings in us...
Taqwa is the struggle to better yourself according to Islam with each passing day...
Taqwa is not only about rising in deen, it is more about falling but again rising up and never letting go...
Taqwa IS ALL ABOUT WHAT LIES IN THE HEART
And if this heart is filled with proper Taqwa, then actions automatically follow...And the sweetness of these actions are so much better..Alhamdulillaah!!!

‏​‏​‏​‏​‏​‏​‏​‏​
My advice is ensure you read the Quran everyday even if it's a verse may Allah reward us abundantly Ameen.

Allah sees you sharing it. ‏​‏

Oh Allah whoever sends out bestow on him your bounties from where he doesn't expect and doesn't know. Ameen!

Fighting in Mecca

#Hadith_Time

Sahih Bukhari 1.112

Narrated Abu Huraira: In the year of the Conquest of Mecca, the tribe of Khuza`a killed a man from the tribe of Bani Laith in revenge for a killed person, belonging to them. They informed the Prophet about it. So he rode his Rahila (she−camel for riding) and addressed the people saying, "Allah held back the killing from Mecca. (The sub−narrator is in doubt whether the Prophet said "elephant or killing," as the Arabic words standing for these words have great similarity in shape), but He (Allah) let His Apostle and the believers over power the infidels of Mecca. Beware! (Mecca is a sanctuary) Verily! Fighting in Mecca was not permitted for anyone before me nor will it be permitted for anyone after me. It (war) in it was made legal for me for few hours or so on that day. No doubt it is at this moment a sanctuary, it is not allowed to uproot its thorny shrubs or to uproot its trees or to pick up its Luqat (fallen things) except by a person who will look for its owner (announce it publicly). And if somebody is killed, then his closest relative has the right to choose one of the two−− the blood money (Diyya) or retaliation having the killer killed. In the meantime a man from Yemen came and said, "O Allah's Apostle! Get that written for me." The Prophet ordered his companions to write that for him. Then a man from Quraish said, "Except Al−Idhkhir (a type of grass that has good smell) O Allah's Apostle, as we use it in our houses and graves." The Prophet said, "Except Al−Idhkhir i.e. Al−Idhkhir is allowed to be plucked."
