A Touching Story

A boy was born to a couple after eleven years
of marriage. They were a loving couple and the
boy was the apple of their eyes. When the boy
was around two years old, one morning the
husband saw a medicine bottle open. He was
late for work so he asked the wife to cap the
bottle and keep it in the cupboard. The
mother, preoccupied in the kitchen, totally
forgot the matter.
The boy saw the bottle and playfully went to
the bottle and, fascinated with its color, drank
it all. It happened to be a poisonous medicine
meant for adults in small dosages. When the
child collapsed, the mother hurried him to the
hospital, where he died. The mother was
stunned. She was terrified how to face her
husband.
When the distraught father came to the
hospital and saw the dead child, he looked at
his wife and uttered just four words.
What do you think were the four words?
The husband just said "I Love You Darling"
The husband's totally unexpected reaction is
proactive behavior. The child is dead. He can
never be brought back to life. There is no
point in finding fault with the mother. Besides,
if only he have taken time to keep the bottle
away, this will not have happened. No
point in attaching blame. She had also lost her
only child. What she needed at that moment
was consolation and sympathy from the
husband. That is what he gave her.
Sometimes we spend time asking who is
responsible or who to blame, whether in a
relationship, in a job or with the people we
know. We miss out some warmth in human
relationship in giving each other support. After
all, shouldn't forgiving someone we love be the
easiest thing in the world to do? Treasure what
you have. Don't multiply pain, anguish and
suffering by holding on to forgiveness.
If everyone can look at life with this kind of
perspective, there would be much fewer
problems in the world.
Take off all your envies, jealousies,
unwillingness to forgive, selfishness, and fears
and you will find things are actually not as
difficult as you think...!!!
Alhamdulillah

Devil gift ?

long time ago in Zimbabwe there was
A very poor woman with a small family called-in to a radio station asking for help from Allah. A non-believer man who was also listening to this radio program decided to make fun of the woman. He got her address, called his secretary and ordered her to buy a large amount of foodstuffs and take to the woman. However, he sent it with the following instruction: "When the woman asks who sent the food, tell her that its from the devil.'' When the secretary arrived at the woman's house, the woman was so happy and grateful for the help that had been received. She started putting the food inside her small house. The Secretary then asked her, ''Don't you want to know who sent the food?'' The woman replied, ''No, I don't even care because when Allah orders, even the devil obeys!

my dear brothers and sisters God is greatest than any other thing we can imagine here on earth Allahu Akbarr

Selfie

The whole 'selfie' craze amongst Muslims has crossed some boundaries. Acts of 'ibadah are being publicised on social media, we've seen tarawih selfies, hajj selfies, iftar selfies - brothers and sisters do you realise the impact this is having on your relationship with Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala?
Who are you trying to impress? Who is this act of worship for, the people? An act of ibadah should be for His sake alone, not for approval & flattering comments or likes. We've even witnessed people posing by raising their hands in du'aa purely for a photo then rushing to see the shot taken.
Renew your intentions, the most beautiful of deeds are those that are hidden & done sincerely for the pleasure of Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala alone.

What is the meaning of Belief in the Book and the Messengers?

ANSWER:

It means that Allah sent the Messengers like Noah, Abraham, Moses, Jesus, Muhammad (saw) etc., and sent down the Books like the Torah, Zaboor (Psalms), Injeel, Qur'an etc.,  to call the people to worship Allah Alone, associating nothing with Him.

He sent Prophet Muhammad (saw) as the last of Messengers and Prophets and abrogated all the previous Books with the Qur'an.

Therefore the worship should be done according to the Qur'an and the Sunnah of the Prophet Muhammad (saw).

May bless us with total belief as Muslims... Ameen

Do you know why we tour around the Kaaba “Anticlockwise”?

Do you know why the Tawaf around the Kaaba
is “Anticlockwise”?
Modern Science has proved many things that
confirm the importance of Tawaaf around the
Kaaba “Anticlockwise.”
1) The Blood inside the human body begins its
circulation “Anticlockwise”
2) The electrons of an atom revolve around its
nucleus in the same manner as making Tawaf, in
an anti-clockwise direction.
Considering the globe as a whole, you will notice
that:
3) that the moon revolves around the earth
anti-clockwise.
4) The earth rotates around its own axis in an
anti-clockwise direction.
5) The earth revolves around the sun in an
anti-clockwise direction.
6) The planets of the Solar system revolve
around the sun in an anti-clockwise direction.
7)The Sun along with its whole Solar system
orbit in the galaxy in an anti-clockwise direction.
8)All the galaxies orbit in the space in an anti-
clockwise direction.
That is: When we revolve around the Kaaba
we are orbiting in the same direction as the
whole universe.
Worshipping Allah in one direction.
Praising Allah in one direction.
And all the creations of Allah from the tiniest
particles, to the largest galaxies, along with the
human race unite in praise of Allah.
When we tour around the Kaaba, we are
travelling in the land travelled by all the prophets
of Allah from the prophet Adam (PBUH) to the
prophet Mohamed (SAWS)
the Kaaba in Makkah is never free from
circumbulators. “Know that the world has come
to an end when no soul will circlembulate the
holy Kaaba.”
But you will never find in the way of Allah any
change, and you will never find in the way of
Allah any alteration
A Beautiful dua for thanking Allah for every
moment:'
Allah Humma inni ala zikrika wa Shukrika wa
husni ibadatika'Imagine how many people will
thank Allah if you forward

Is it permissible to slaughter chicken on the occasion of Eid ul Adha???

No it is not permissible

It should be one of the an’aam class of
animals, which are: camels, cattle, sheep
and goats, because

Allaah says
(interpretation of the meaning):

“And for every nation We have appointed
religious ceremonies, that they may mention
the Name of Allaah over the beast of cattle
that He has given them for food”
[Surah al-Hajj 22:34]

And Allahu A'alam

Jazak Allahu Khayran

Fasting On The Day Of Arafat: Sins Forgiven For Two Years

It is one of the most important days in the
Islamic calendar. The virtues and blessings
of this day are immense. There is no other
day like it and millions of Muslims turn to
Allah on this day. It’s the Day of Arafat;
WEDNESDAY, 23RD SEPTEMBER 2015.
Many Muslims around the whole world will
be fasting this day, in search of
forgiveness and the Forgiveness and Mercy
of Allah is amazing. Fasting on this day is
expiation for two years of sin. So I
encourage all Muslims to fast on this day.
We are surely in need of much forgiveness
and how can we do without this amazing
day that Allah Has Given us?
VIRTUES OF THE DAY OF ARAFAT
It is the day on which the religion was
perfected and Allaah’s Favour was
completed.
In Al-Saheehayn it was reported from ‘Umar
ibn al-Khattaab (may Allaah be pleased
with him) that a Jewish man said to him,
“O Ameer al-Mu’mineen, there is an aayah
in your Book which you recite; if it had
come to us Jews, we would have taken that
day as an ‘Eid (festival).” ‘Umar said,
“Which aayah?” He said: “This day I have
perfected your religion for you, completed
My favour upon you, and have chosen for
you Islam as your religion.” [al-Maa’idah
5:3 – interpretation of the meaning]. ‘Umar
said, “We know on which day and in which
place that was revealed to the Prophet
(peace and blessings of Allaah be upon
him). It was when he was standing in
‘Arafaah on a Friday.”
It is a day by which Allaah swore an oath.
The Almighty cannot swear by anything
except that which is mighty. Yawm
‘Arafaah is the “witnessed day” mentioned
in the aayah (interpretation of the meaning):
“By the witnessing day [Friday] and by the
witnessed day [the Day of ‘Arafaah].” [al-
Burooj 85:3].
It was reported from Abu Hurayrah (may
Allaah be pleased with him) that the
Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be
upon him) said: “The promised day is the
Day of Resurrection, the witnessed day is
the Day of ‘Arafaah, and the witnessing day
is Friday.” Narrated by al-Tirmidhi and
classed as saheeh by al-Albaani.
It is the “odd” [i.e., odd-numbered, Witr] by
which Allaah swore in the aayah
(interpretation of the meaning):
“And by the even and the odd” [al-Fajr
89:3]. Ibn ‘Abbaas said: “The even is the
Day of al-Adhaa [i.e., 10th Dhoo’l-Hijjah]
and the odd is the Day of ‘Arafaah [i.e., 9th
Dhoo’l-Hijjah] This is also the view of
‘Ikrimah and al-Dahhaak.
Fasting on this day is an expiation for two
years.
It was reported from Abu Qutaadah (may
Allaah be pleased with him) that the
Messenger of Allaah (peace and blessings of
Allaah be upon him) was asked about
fasting on the Day of ‘Arafaah. He said, “It
expiates for the sins of the previous year
and of the coming year.” Narrated by
Muslim.
This (fasting) is mustahabb for those who
are not on Hajj. In the case of the one who
is on Hajj, it is not Sunnah for him to fast
on the Day of ‘Arafaah, because the Prophet
(peace and blessings of Allaah be upon
him) did not fast on this day in ‘Arafaah. It
was narrated that he forbade fasting on the
Day of ‘Arafaah in ‘Arafaah.
It is the day on which Allaah took the
covenant from the progeny of Adam.
It was reported that Ibn ‘Abbaas (may
Allaah be pleased with him) said: the
Messenger of Allaah (peace and blessings of
Allaah be upon him) said: “Allaah took the
covenant from the loins of Adam in
Na’maan, i.e., ‘Arafaah. He brought forth
from his loins all his offspring and spread
them before Him, then He addressed them,
and said: ‘Am I not your Lord? They said,
‘Yes, we testify,’ let you should say on the
Day of Resurrection: ‘Verily, we have been
unaware of this.’ Or lest you should say: ‘It
was only our fathers aforetime who took
others as partners in worship along with
Allaah, and we were (merely their)
descendents after them; will You then
destroy us because of the deeds of men
who practised Al-Baatil (i.e., ploytheism
and committing crimes and sins, invoking
and worshipping others besides Allaah)
?’ [al-A’raaf 7:172-173 – interpretation of
the meaning].” Narrated by Ahmad and
classed as saheeh by al-Albaani. And there
is no greater day than this and no greater
covenant than this.
It is the day of forgiveness of sins, freedom
from the Fire and pride in the people who
are there :
In Saheeh Muslim it was narrated from
‘Aa’ishah (may Allaah be pleased with her)
that the Prophet (peace and blessings of
Allaah be upon him) said: “There is no day
on which Allaah frees more people from the
Fire than the Day of ‘Arafaah. He comes
close and expresses His Pride to the angels,
saying, ‘What do these people want?’”
It was reported from Ibn ‘Umar that the
Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be
upon him) said: “Allaah expresses His Pride
to His angels at the time of ‘Ishaa’ on the
Day of ‘Arafaah, about the people of
‘Arafaah. He says, ‘Look at My slaves who
have come unkempt and dusty.’” Narrated
by Ahmad and classed as saheeh by al-
Albaani.
