<i>Pick Your Teeth!</i>


It's one of the greatest sins and yet it's something we do day after day. Sometimes we don't even realise it. You're just chatting away with your friends and you begin to talk about somebody else. Our whole lives are based around 'Home and Away' and 'Neighbours', soaps based on lying, backbiting etc. But look at what the Prophet (salAllahu alayhi wasalam) said about it:


The Prophet (salAllahu alayhi wasalam) was sitting with his companions one day and one of them was speaking badly about someone who wasn't there. As the man got up to leave the Prophet (salAllahu alayhi wasalam) said to him: "Pick Your Teeth!" "But I haven't eaten anything," the man protested. "No," the Prophet (salAllahu alayhi wasalam) said "You have eaten the flesh of your dead brother".


As Allah tells us in the Qur'an:


"Would any of you like to ea t the flesh of his dead brother? No, you would hate it."


[surah al-Hujurat; 49:12]


But What If It's True?!


The Prophet (salAllahu alayhi wasalam) told us:


"Backbiting is to say something about someone they wouldn't like said about them....If what bad you said about them is true, then you have backbited and if it is false then you have slandered them."


[Muslim]


If you're still not convinced of how big a sin backbiting really is, then look at the punishment Allah has in store for the backbiters. The Prophet (salAllahu alayhi wasalam) described:


"On the night of mirage I passed by some people who had metal hooks in their hands and were clawing at their faces and their necks with them. I asked Gabriel 'Who were these people?' He said 'These are the people who eat the flesh of human beings and disgrace them'


[Abu Dawud]


This is how big a sin backbiting is looked upon and yet we continue to backbite without a second thought. Next time you lie, talk about somebody, remember Allah (subhanahu wa Ta'ala) and the Prophet (salAllahu alayhi wasalam) and put them in front of you before you speak.


Just having a Laugh!


May be we think it's all right to take the mick out of someone so long as we say it to their face. We'll make fun of the way someone talks, walks, or how they look. Allah Ta'ala warns us against such behavior:


"O you who believe. Let not some men laugh at others, it may be the that they are better than you. Nor let some women laugh at others it may be that they are better than you. Nor abuse each other, nor be sarcastic to each other by using offensive nicknames..."


[surah al-Hujurat; 49:11]


Don't forget that Allah made us the way we are, so how can you even think of making fun of his creation?


Cool to Swear?


Listen to yourself and to your friends speaking one day - nearly every sentence will have a swear word in it, thinking it's cool and macho to swear, copying the idols of TV and the cinema. Is it really 'cool' to swear? The Hellfire is far from being cool. People will wish they were cool then rather than being cool in this world. Remember! That every time you speak, an angel writes down what you say, and that one day you will have to answer for every single word you ever uttered. So if you swear at someone then it's written down as a sin against you. You're only harming yourself. The Prophet (salAllahu alayhi wasalam) said that:


"Abusing a Muslim is a sin and fighting with him is disbelief."


[Muslim]


'But sometimes you just have to swear'!


We've all been there - you're just so angry with s omebody and the only way you can express yourself, is to swear at them. The solution? ..


Don't get angry in the first place.


A man came to the Prophet (S) one day and said "Advise me". The prophet (salAllahu alayhi wasalam) said "Don't become angry. Don't become angry. Don't become angry".... "When one of you gets angry while he is standing up, he should sit down. Then anger will leave him, and if not then he should lie down"


[Ahmad]


So let us follow this beautiful advice of the Prophet (salAllahu alayhi wasalam) and remember that anger is from Shaytaan. If someone angers you or swears at you, then don't harm yourself by doing the same but respond in a better way as Allah says in the Qur'an:


"Repel evil with what is better. Then he who was your worst enemy will become your best friend."


[surah 41:33]


"It wasn't me. Honest."


How often do we say such a phra se or say that "I was only joking". We treat lies as being trivial. However we are told that:


"Allah's messenger did not hate anything more than lying"


[Ahmed]


The Prophet (salAllahu alayhi wasalam) was once asked


"Can a Muslim be a coward?"


He (salAllahu alayhi wasalam) replied "Yes."


and then asked "Can a Muslim be a miser?" and the reply was "Yes."


The Prophet (salAllahu alayhi wasalam) was then asked "Can a Muslim be a liar?" The Prophet (salAllahu alayhi wasalam) replied "NO!


A Muslim can never be a liar".


Furthermore, he said "Truth leads to virtue and virtue leads to paradise...Lying leads to wickedness and wickedness leads to the hellfire."


[sahih al-Bukhari]


As we know that one lie leads to another ten lies which lead to bad actions. Remember you can lie and think that you have got away with it but on the day of Judgement your hands, tongue and feet will bear testimony against you and tell the truth.


But it's only words!


One day one of the companions asked the Prophet (salAllahu alayhi wasalam) "O Messenger of Allah. Will we be called to account for what we say?" He replied "May you be lost to your mother - people will be thrown, faces down into the hellfire, only on account to what their tongues said."


[at-Tirmidhi].


Indeed the tongue controls the rest of your body. A well-controlled tongue will keep us within Islam but a loose tongue will destroy us. The Prophet (salAllahu alayhi wasalam) said:


"When a person gets up in the morning, all the parts of his body make a plea to his tongue saying; 'Fear Allah regarding us, because we follow you. If you are right then we shall also be right , and if you are wrong then we shall also be wrong."


[at-Tirmidhi]


Instead of swearing, lying and engaging in useless talk we can use our tongues in better ways and what better than telling people about Islam. Allah says:


"Who is better in speech than one who calls (men) to Allah and works righteousness and says I am one of those who bow down in Islam"


[surah 41:33]


Your tongue can save you as well! Indeed if you control your tongue and speak good then paradise can be yours. The Prophet (salAllahu alayhi wasalam) said:


"Whoever can guarantee me two things I can guarantee them Paradise." The companions asked "What, O Messenger of Allah?" He replied "What is between his jaws (his tongue) and his legs (private parts)."


[sahih al-Bukhari]


On the Day of Judgment, those who curse will be neither witnesses nor interceders. [bukhari & Muslim]


I've lied and backbited, sworn and made fun of others. I must be doomed I must be going to hell!"


NO! Allah (swt ) tells us in the Qur'an:


"O my servants who have wronged themselves, never despair of the mercy of Allah for truly he forgives all sins. He is the Forgiving, the Merciful."


[surah 39:53]


The Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) said:


"When a man's sins are numerous and he has no good deeds with which to atone for them, God afflicts him with sorrow (as a way to remove his sins)."


[Al-Tirmidhi, Hadith 487]


Anas bin Malik Al-Ansari (May Allah be pleased with him) the servant of the Messenger of Allah narrated: Messenger of Allah (PBUH) said,


"Verily, Allah is more delighted with the repentance of His slave than a person who lost his camel in a desert land and then finds it (unexpectedly)".


[Al-Bukhari and Muslim]


So if you really repent and turn back to Allah and promise not to commit the sin again then truly Allah's promise is true and He will forgive you. If you've backbitten someone - go and tell the person whom you backbited and apologise sincerely and ask them to forgive you. But if you think that the situation will get worse then turn back to Allah sincerely begging for his forgiveness then to make up for what you said, go around and talk good of him.


The Best Example


As we know that the best person to have ever lived is the Prophet Muhammad (salAllahu alayhi wasalam) and he is the best of example for mankind. If we follow him we can never go wrong. Ayesha ® the Prophet's wife described the Prophet's conduct as follows:


"He was neither a obscene talker nor a user of bad words. He did not shout nor did he repay evil with evil. He used to forgive people and overlook their sins."


[at-Tirmidhi]


Final Advice: A beautiful saying of the Prophet (salAllahu alayhi wasalam) that will ensure the protection of our tongue. The Messenger of Allah (Subhanahu wa Ta'ala) said:


"Whoever believes in Allah and the Last day, let him either speak good or keep silent"

Bismillah

Grand Imam of Al-Azhar Sheikh Mohamad Sayyed Tantawi led Monday a protest by thousands of Al-Azhar University students against mocking Prophet Muhammad in a number of European newspapers. Egypt's Mufti Ali Gomaa, Awqaf (religious endowments) Minister Hamdi Zaqzouq and Al-Azhar University President Ahmed El-Tayyib took part in the demonstration.


Tantawi said boycotting the products of all countries which insulted Prophet Muhammad is a religious duty that should be followed by all Muslims.


The protesters raised banners supporting Prophet Muhammad and condemning any insults to the Prophet of Islam or other prophets.


Meanwhile, the Egyptian Shura Council condemned Monday February 7 such caricatures saying there was a clear-cut distinction between freedom of expression, and sacrilege.


The council further warned of grave consequences if such anti-religion campaign continued.


On the other hand, thousands of Danes staged Monday a peaceful march outside the offices of Jyllands-Posten newspaper, which first published anti-Prophet cartoons, expressing their sorrow over the caricatures. Danish demonstrators raised banners showing the peace sign and the word "apologies".

The Virtues of Allah's sacred month of Muharram


Fasting On the Day of `Ashura' Expiates the Sins of the Preceding Year


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------


When the Day of Judgment comes, we will without doubt all desire to steer clear from our sins and wish that we had done more good deeds that would be a cause for removal of our bad deeds.


Of much interest to us Muslims these days should be the fasting the 9th and the 10th of Muharram. The Prophet, sallallahu `alayhi wa sallam, said about the voluntary fasting on the Day of `Aashoraa:


"It expiates the sins of the preceding year." [saheeh Muslim]


Ibn `Abbas, radhiallahu `anhu, reported: "The Prophet, sallallahu `alayhi wa sallam, came to al-Madeenah and saw the Jews fasting on the day of `Aashooraa. He asked them about that. They replied, "This is a good day, the day on which Allah rescued Baani Israaeel from their enemy. So Moosa observed fast on this day." The Prophet said, "We have more claim over Moosa than you." So the Prophet, sallallahu `alayhi wa sallam, observed fast on that day and ordered (the Muslims) to observe fast (on that day)." [saheeh al-Bukhari, Muslim]


Ibn `Abbas also reported, "The Messenger of Allah fasted on the day of `Aashooraa and ordered the people to fast on it. The people said, "O Messenger of Allah, it is a day that the Jews and Christians honor." The Prophet, sallallahu `alayhi wa sallam, said, "When the following year comes - Allah willing - we shall fast on the ninth." The death of the Prophet, sallallahu `alayhi wa sallam, came before the following year." [saheeh Muslim, Abu Dawood]


So it is recommended to fast on the 10th of Muharram and the 9th along with it as well.


Qadi ibn Rushd says in that the scholars disagreed whether the fast is to be done on the 9th or the 10th of Muharram based on the above traditions [bidayat ul Mujtahid]. And I have found a recommendation to fast on both days in various books, such as al-Hindees "Mukhtasar al-Ahkaam al-Fiqhiyyah", Jameel Zenos "The Pillars of Islam and Iman", and Dr. Jaafar Sheikh Idris "The Fast."


As for the wisdom behind this fast, the following is stated in the mukhtasar version of Ibn ul Qayyims "Zaad ul-Ma`aad" "The day of `Aashooraa was the day when Moosa and his men got freedom from the hands of the Pharaoh and it was in the sacred memory of this great event that the Muslims observed voluntary fasting. The idea underlying this is to stress the affinity amongst the messengers of Allah and to show that religious devotion is a constant flow from one generation to another. The Prophet, sallallahu `alayhi wa sallam, came not to abrogate all the earlier religious practices but to codify and preserve them for all times to come in ideal forms."


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------


Some sayings reported from the Salaf that can serve as an encouragement to do good deeds:


Taubah ibn Samat used to take account of himself and is reported to have counted the number of days in his life at the age of sixty. He found there were 21,500 days and shrieked: "What will happen to me if I meet the King with 21,500 sins? What will happen if there are 10,000 sins in each day?"


Al-Hasan al-Basri would say, "From the signs that one has drowned in sins is lack of delight in fasting in the day and praying through the night."


Alqamah ibn Qais asked Abu Nu`aim - who was a devout worshipper - why he was hard on his body. "I want this body to be comfortable later on," he replied.


Of Al-Ahnaf ibn Qays it is reported that he was once told: You are an aged elder; Fasting would enfeeble you." But he replied: "By this I am making ready for a long journey. Obedience to Allah, Glorified is He, is easier to endure than His punishment."


Praise be to Allaah,


the Lord of the Worlds, and peace and blessings be upon our Prophet Muhammad, the Seal of the Prophets and Chief of the Messengers, and upon all his family and companions.


Allah’s sacred month of Muharram is a blessed and important month.It is the first month of the Hijri calendar and is one of the four sacred months concerning which Allaah says (interpretation of the meaning):


“Verily, the number of months with Allaah is twelve months (in a year), so it was ordained by Allaah 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…” [al-Tawbah 9:36]


Abu Bakrah (may Allaah be pleased with him) reported that the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said: “The year is twelve months of which four are sacred, the three consecutive months of Dhu’l-Qa’dah, Dhu’l-Hijjah and Muharram, and Rajab Mudar which comes between Jumaada and Sha’baan.” (Reportedby al-Bukhaari, 2958).


Muharram is so called because it is a sacred (muharram) month and to confirm its sanctity.


Allaah’s words (interpretation of the meaning): “so wrong not yourselves therein…” mean do not wrong yourselves in these sacred months, because sin in these months is worse than in other months.


It was reported that Ibn ‘Abbaas said that this phrase (so wrong not yourselves therein…) referred to all the months, then these four were singled out and made sacred, so that sin in these months is more serious and good deedsbring a greater reward.


Qutaadah said concerning this phrase (so wrong not yourselvestherein…) that wrongdoing during the sacred months is more serious and more sinful that wrongdoing at any other time. Wrongdoing at any time is a serious matter, but Allaah gives more weight to whichever of His commands He will. Allaah has chosen certain ones of His creation. He has chosen from among the angels Messengers and from among mankind Messengers. He chose from among speech the remembrance of Him (dhikr). He chose from among the earth the mosques, from among the months Ramadaan and the sacred months,from among the days Friday and from among the nights Laylat al-Qadr, so venerate that which Allaah has told us to venerate. People of understanding and wisdom venerate the things that Allaah has told us to venerate. (Summarized from the Tafseer of IbnKatheer, may Allaah have mercy on him. Tafseer of Surat al-Tawbah, aayah 36).


The Virtue of observing more naafil fasts during Muharram.


Abu Hurayrah (may Allaah be pleased with him) said: “The Messenger of Allaah (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said: ‘The best of fasting after Ramadaan is fasting Allaah’s month of Muharram.’” (reported byMuslim, 1982).


The phrase “Allaah’s month”, connecting the name of the month to the name of Allaah in a genitive grammatical structure, signifies the importanceof the month. Al-Qaari said: “The apparent meaning is all of the month ofMuharram.” But it was proven that the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be uponhim) never fasted any whole month apart from Ramadan, so this hadeeth is probably meant to encourage increasing one’s fasting during Muharram, without meaning that one shouldfast for the entire month.


It was reported that the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah beupon him) used to fast more in Sha’baan. It is likely that the virtue of Muharram was not revealed to him until the end of his life, before he was able to fast during this month. (Sharh al-Nawawi ‘ala Saheeh Muslim).


The Merit of Fasting on 10th Muharram. Hazrat Ibn Abbas (R.A.A.) says that the Holy Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) himself observed the fast on the day of Ashoura (tenth day of Muharram) and he exhorted others to fast on that day. (Sahih Bukhari & Sahih Muslim)

Bismillah


After the feirce war against islam is renewed, and after masses in Europe and America are embracing islam, what can those who will lose their positions do, those who do not want the people to see the truth and they know it is the truth, those who are preventing people to chose the correct faith and they know it is correct, but if they leave people to listen to the true word of Islam then they will lose their wealth and interests, which reminds us of the Kuffar of Mekkah who knew that what Prophet Muhammad(PBUH) is the true Prophet of Allah(SWT), but their interests and wealth was more important to them, little did they know that if they accepted Islam then they will have the wealth of both this world and hereafter.


Bismillah Al-Rahman Al-Raheem


69. A party of the people of the Scripture (Jews and Christians) wish to lead you astray. But they shall not lead astray anyone except themselves, and they perceive not.



70. O people of the Scripture! (Jews and Christians): "Why do you disbelieve in the Ayât of Allâh, [the Verses about Prophet Muhammad present in the Taurât (Torah) and the Injeel (Gospel)] while you (yourselves) bear witness (to their truth)."


71. O people of the Scripture (Jews and Christians): "Why do you mix truth with falsehood and conceal the truth while you know?"





So those who know themselves, and hide in the dark, it is the time now for Islam to wake up again, for years we have been fought shown as terrorist, and on the way trying to teach us our relegion, once they say islam is a relegion of peace and worship so just worship your creator and keep quiet while we beat u on your head, and we will invade u in the name of democracy and freedom and change your ethics and beleifs and u are not to open your mouth, till then we are quiet, but then islam started spreading more in America and europe, in Denmark percentage of muslims started growing and it is the second relegion in denmark and it is considered a threat against christianity:


Religion membership: Evangelical Lutheran 84.3%. Catholics, Jews, other Protestant denominations, and Muslims account for approximately 5%.



Although religious freedom is guaranteed, the state-supported Evangelical Lutheran Church accounts for about 84% (down from 92% in 1984) of those persons claiming religious affiliation. Several other Christian denominations, as well as other major religions, find adherents in Denmark. Islam is now the second-largest religion in Denmark.


http://www.state.gov/r/pa/ei/bgn/3167.htm


Then what should those who are fighting in the name of democracy do to fight islam, cartoons of Prophet Muhammad(PBUH), those who ignited that fire did not know that the muslim world will uprise, finish they are dead, we keep beating them and they keep quiet, but little do they know of our love to our Prophet(PBUH), little do they know what he means to us, so their plot turned against them and they are the losers.


I have been going through the net all the day, and well as usual the same claims and attacks against islam and muslims in dealing with the cartoon matter. Now I am talking to those christians who are fair and have good intelect, listen to our word, do not judge Islam by acts of some terrorists who only Allah(SWT) knows who is financing them, many of those so called terrorists in Saudi Arabia that were caught, thousands of DOLLARS was found with them, ???? why and why not saudi riyals. I will not go further in this matter, My goal here is to tell u all come to a just word between us that there is a One Creator of This World:


In The Name Of Allah Most Gracious Most Merciful:






64. Say (O Muhammad ): "O people of the Scripture (Jews and Christians): Come to a word that is just between us and you, that we worship none but Allâh, and that we associate no partners with Him, and that none of us shall take others as lords besides Allâh. Then, if they turn away, say: "Bear witness that we are Muslims."


A mild and sweet words from Allah(SWT) to all humanity to worship none but Him, will u accept, Yes u won, No it is your choice, but that does not mean that I will kill u or hate u or blow u up, but live together in peace, that for centuries muslims jews and christians lived together in the middle east with no hatred or killings, until, the night crows started crying, why because muslims are waking up and returning to islam, so hit islam by islam, then everybody will hate islam. I will not talk much, I know I made a long speech, but I wanted this speech as an introduction to


"Mr. Amr Khaled’s Message to the World regarding the Danish Cartoons"


Read it and know what we muslims want, what is true islam, after that it is up to u to know what is the truth.


It is adressed to three categories

• Muslims
  
• Danish
  
• The World
  

In The Name of Allah Most Gracious Most Merciful


To my dear children, to our young youth, who still do not know much of your beloved Prophet Muhammad(PBUH), with many questions that u may face in your growing life, I read a book which contain many answers to many questions. :)


In every post I will present a question with its answer, so that u will learn slowly and step by step, so get ready and consider this a kind of subject to study, u may even later from these posts make your own summarization and present it as an essay in your school, to show everyone who is The greatest man born :). Now with the first Question:


<b>Q1:</b> When was our Prophet Muhammad(PBUH) born, and where?



Many differed in the year and date of his birth, the best answer is:Prophet Muhammad(PBUH), son of Abdullah, son of Abdul Muttalib, of the tribe of Quraysh, was born in Makkah fifty-three years before the Hijrah.



I hope this is a simple answer, if u have any questions my dear ones about this question, ask so that we can go on to the next question.


May Allah Bless my dear ones, and Raise you up to the highest grades.

<b>‘May Allah bless and make fortunate that man who hears a hadeeth from us (i.e., from the Prophet (Sallallaahu ‘alaihi wasallam) and then he conveys that hadeeth just as he heard it, for there are many who will receive the hadeeth after him who are more preserving and understanding of the hadeeth than the one who heard it himself the first time.’ [Tirmidhi]</b>

For the first time ever in the English language, Shaykh Abu Yusuf Riyadh ul Haq will be delivering a series of detailed commentaries on al Tajrid al Sarih, the abridged Saheeh al-Bukhari, which is a comprehensive coverage of the blessed Sunnah of the greatest benefactor of mankind. By the grace of Allah we have this great and unique opportunity to study the words and actions of the Prophet (Sallallaahu ‘alaihi wasallam) in the established and traditional manner as preserved and conveyed by the Predecessors through an unbroken and authentic chain of narration under the tutorage of Shaykh Abu Yusuf Riyadh ul Haq. Saheeh al-Bukhari which is widely regarded as being the most authentic book after the Book of Allah. The Saheeh of Imam Bukhari, comprising of approximately 4,400 different narrations, selected from an original collection of 600,000 is considered the pinnacle of the science of hadeeth. Each hadeeth is covered at length and an explanation given of the great wisdom behind how and why it was selected for inclusion in the Saheeh, along with its relevance to the chapter heading. Derived rulings as well as the context and circumstances surrounding the individual hadeeth are also discussed. Most importantly, lessons are drawn that aid the listener to practically implement the words of the Prophet (Sallallaahu ‘alaihi wasallam) in his or her life.





<b>Who was Imam Bukhari?</b>

Imam Muhammad bin Ismaeel al Bukhari (194-254 Hijri) was born in Bukhara, modern day Uzbekistan. He saw a dream in his youth in which he was fanning the air and removing the dust and flies whilst seated in front of the noble Prophet (Sallallaahu ‘alaihi wasallam). This was an early indication of the glorious future Allah had planned for him. Upon interpretation, he was told that he would be instrumental in removing falsehood from the ahadeeth of the noble Prophet (Sallallaahu ‘alaihi wasallam). He is undoubtedly the greatest ever Imam of hadeeth with over 90,000 students having studied the Jami al Saheeh directly from him and over 130 commentaries of his work having been completed. In the past the Great Scholars of hadeeth used to travel for hundreds of miles for the sake of one hadeeth and yet we are getting this opportunity without all this hard work and effort. Let us not let this great opportunity go to waste. We request that you come yourselves and bring others also to learn the words of the Holy Prophet (Sallallaahu ‘alaihi wasallam).

<b>‘May Allah bless and make fortunate that man who hears a hadeeth from us (i.e., from the Prophet (Sallallaahu ‘alaihi wasallam) and then he conveys that hadeeth just as he heard it, for there are many who will receive the hadeeth after him who are more preserving and understanding of the hadeeth than the one who heard it himself the first time.’ [Tirmidhi]</b>

For the first time ever in the English language, Shaykh Abu Yusuf Riyadh ul Haq will be delivering a series of detailed commentaries on al Tajrid al Sarih, the abridged Saheeh al-Bukhari, which is a comprehensive coverage of the blessed Sunnah of the greatest benefactor of mankind. By the grace of Allah we have this great and unique opportunity to study the words and actions of the Prophet (Sallallaahu ‘alaihi wasallam) in the established and traditional manner as preserved and conveyed by the Predecessors through an unbroken and authentic chain of narration under the tutorage of Shaykh Abu Yusuf Riyadh ul Haq. Saheeh al-Bukhari which is widely regarded as being the most authentic book after the Book of Allah. The Saheeh of Imam Bukhari, comprising of approximately 4,400 different narrations, selected from an original collection of 600,000 is considered the pinnacle of the science of hadeeth. Each hadeeth is covered at length and an explanation given of the great wisdom behind how and why it was selected for inclusion in the Saheeh, along with its relevance to the chapter heading. Derived rulings as well as the context and circumstances surrounding the individual hadeeth are also discussed. Most importantly, lessons are drawn that aid the listener to practically implement the words of the Prophet (Sallallaahu ‘alaihi wasallam) in his or her life.





<b>Who was Imam Bukhari?</b>

Imam Muhammad bin Ismaeel al Bukhari (194-254 Hijri) was born in Bukhara, modern day Uzbekistan. He saw a dream in his youth in which he was fanning the air and removing the dust and flies whilst seated in front of the noble Prophet (Sallallaahu ‘alaihi wasallam). This was an early indication of the glorious future Allah had planned for him. Upon interpretation, he was told that he would be instrumental in removing falsehood from the ahadeeth of the noble Prophet (Sallallaahu ‘alaihi wasallam). He is undoubtedly the greatest ever Imam of hadeeth with over 90,000 students having studied the Jami al Saheeh directly from him and over 130 commentaries of his work having been completed. In the past the Great Scholars of hadeeth used to travel for hundreds of miles for the sake of one hadeeth and yet we are getting this opportunity without all this hard work and effort. Let us not let this great opportunity go to waste. We request that you come yourselves and bring others also to learn the words of the Holy Prophet (Sallallaahu ‘alaihi wasallam).
