عندما تدرس الابتدائي 6 سنوات .. والمتوسط 3 سنوات ومثلها المرحلة الثانوية .. وأربع سنين في الجامعة أو خمسة .. لتعمل بعدها في سوق الخضار .. لا تيأس أنت في دولة عربية .

عندما يكون هناك ستة ملايين (عامل) أجنبي .. وثلاثة ملايين (عاطل) . أنت في دولة عربية.

عندما تقوم من النوم لتجد في هاتفك المحمول رسائل ليس لها أي معنى ...أنت في دولة عربية

عندما تكون هناك (خمسة عشرة) مجلة تهتم بـ (الشعر الشعبي) ولاتكون هناك مجلة واحدة أو (نشرة) تهتم بالأمور العلمية ... أنت في دولة خليجية .

عندما تذهب إلى تلك المنطقة في بلدك .. فلا تجد منهم من يتحدث العربية وتظن أنك تعديت الحدود حتى وصلت إلى (دكا)...لا تستغرب ... أنت في أسواق إحدى دول الخليج حيث كل البائعين أجانب .

As salaamu alaikum wa rahmatullah wa barakatuh...

A group of brothers and sisters got together and are starting up a da'wah training programme for da'wah workers....

before they started they wanted to do some research into exactly what da'wah is.... and the importance of da'wah...

This information will be reviewed and used in order to come up with the course content of the training programme...

If any one can help in this research this group of brothers and sisters would be very gratefull

please only serious responses

everyone is also welcome to give their opinions on how this programme should be run...

jazaakumullahul khair

Yaqeen is the state when one has the proper reflection of a reality and gains the appropriate grasp of it. For Example a person knows that driving carelessly on the road will lead to a car accident. He has the belief that careless driving will cause him harm yet he lacks the yaqeen of it, since he never experienced one. So he drives without proper caution and then he has a terrible crash such that his limbs break and as a result he suffers from extreme pain. It will be in this condition that he will regret what he had done and will have the proper yaqeen of how terrible a car accident is really like, so he will decide never to drive carelessly again.

Many of us may have belief in Allah, death, the Day of ressurection, Hell and Heaven yet we may lack yaqeen of what we believe in. Yaqeen is a factor that drives and motivates one to attain Taqwaa or peity. And Taqwa is one of the essential factors in order to have the good deeds done to be accepted by Allah. without Taqwa in the heart, the Good deeds done are in vain and wont be counted on the mizaan in the Day of resurrection. So one way to develope yaqeen in our hearts about the hereafter is to see and reflect upon natural disasters and other related aspects in the universe, and to relate that with what is in store for us in the hereafter.







Imagine yourself that you have been ressurected from the grave, and You are standing on the ground of ressurection, Awaiting the moment in which the account of worldly deeds are about to begin. Now think of Hell Fire, whose Fire is blacker than Tar, and which is dragged to the plain of ressurection by some 4,900,000,000 angels and the hell will appear so terrible that everyone will be shocked and filled with extreme terror and fear upon seeing it. Even the prophets will fall on their knees and would say, "Ya Rab, Nafsee, Nafsee." This is brothers and sisters a reality that is bound to happen one day. Each one of us will be standing there and witnessing hell being brought forth in the plain of ressurection.

(iii) al-Hoor al-'Eeyn

Allaah (swt) will marry the believers in Paradise to beautiful women who were not their wives in this world, as Allaah (swt) says:

"So [it will be] and We shall marry them to Houris with wide lovely eyes." [44:54]

al-Hoor is the plural of Hooraa', which is a woman, the white parts of her eyes intensely white, and the black is intensely black. al-'Eeyn is the plural fo 'Aynaa, which is the woman whose eyes are wide.

The Qur'aan describes al-Hoor al-'Eeyn as being firm and full-breasted:

"Verily, for al-Muttaqoon, there will be a success; gardens and grapeyards and young full-breasted [mature] maidens of equal age." [78:31-33]

Al-Hoor al-'Eeyn are creatures that Allaah (swt) has made especially for Paradise, and has made them virgins:

"Verily, We have created [their companions] of special creation, and made them virgin-pure [and undefiled], beloved [by nature], equal in age." [56:35-37]

The fact that they are virgins means that no-one has ever married them before:

"...whom no man or jinn has touched before them." [55:56]

This refutes the idea that the wives that Allaah (swt) will create for them in Paradise will be their wives from this life, made young again after old age had overtaken them. That idea if correct in that Allaah (swt) will admit the believing women to Paradise with their youth restored but they are not al-Hoor al-'Eeyn whom Allaah created in Paradise.

The Qur'an also speaks of the beauty of the women of al-Jannah:

"And [there will be] Houris with wide lovely eyes [as wives for the pious], Like unto preserved pearls." [56:22-23]

Maknoon ["preserved"] means hidden or protected, something whose colour is not changed by exposure to sunlight or by being tampered with. Elsewhere, Allaah likens them to rubies and coral, two beautiful precious stones:

"In them will be [maidens] restraining their glances, whom no man or jinn has touched before them, Then which of the favours of your Rabb will you deny? Like unto rubies and coral." [55:56-58]

al-Hoor are also described as restraining their gaze upon their husbands i.e. they restrict their gaze and don't let their eyes wander to others. Allaah (swt) has stated that they are very beautiful, and it is sufficient to know that Allaah (swt) said:

"In them will be fair [companions] good and beautiful; then which of the favours of your Rabb will you deny? Companions restrained [as to their glances] in [goodly] pavilions" [55:70-72]

The women are not like the women of this world. They are free of al-Hayd [menstruation], an-Nifaas [post-natal bleeding], spittle, mucus, urine and stools. This is what is referred to in the aayah:

"..And they shall have therein Azwaajun Mutahharatun [purified mates]" [2:25]

The Prophet (saw) told us about the beauty of the wives of the People of Paradise. al-Bukhaari and Muslim reported from Abu Hurayrah that the Messenger (saw) said, "...the marrow of whose leg-bones will be visible through the flesh because of their extreme beauty." [as-Saheeh, Kitaab al-Khalq, Baab Maa Jaa'a fi Sifaat al-Jannah, Fath al-Baari, 6/318 and Muslim in Kitaab al-Jannah wa Sifaat Na'eem ahlilhaa, Baab awwal zumrah tadkhul al-Jannah, 4/2178, no. 2834]

Look at this beauty that the Prophet (saw) described! Can you find any comparison to it in the world that you know?! :

"If one of the women of Paradise were to look at the people of this world, everything in between them would be lit up and filled with her fragrance. The veil on her head is better than this world and everything in it." [al-Bukhaari, in as-Saheeh, Kitaab al-Jihaad, Baab wa Zawwajnahum bi Hoor-'Eeyn. Fath al-Baari, 6/15]

The smallest number of wives that any one man will have in Paradise is seventy-two. It was reported that the Shaheed will have seventy two wives from amongst al-Hoor a--'Eeyn [Mishkaat al-Masaabeeh, 3/357, no. 3834, at-Tirmidhi, Ibn Maajah from al-Miqdaam ibn Ma'd Yakrib]

The Song of al-Hoor al-'Eeyn

The Messenger (saw) told us that al-Hoor in Jannah sing with sweet, beautiful voices. In al-Mu'jam al-Awsat, at-Tabaraani reports with a saheeh isnaad from Ibn 'Umar that the Prophet (saw) said,

"The wives of the people of Paradise will sing to their husband in the most beautiful voices that anyone has ever heard. What they will sing is: "We are good and beautiful, the wives of a noble people, who look at their husbands content and happy." And they will sing, "We are eternal, and will never die, we are safe and will never fear, we are remaining here and will never go away."" [saheeh al-Jaami as-Sagheer, 2/48, no. 1557; also Abu Na'eem, ad-Diyaa in Sifaat al-Jannah]

Samawayh reported in al-Fawaa'id from Anas that the Messenger of Allaah (saw) said, "al-Hoor al-'Eeyn are singing in Paradise saying, "We are the beautiful houris, we are being kept for noble husbands."" [saheeh al-Jaami', 2/58, no. 1598]

The Jealousy of al-Hoor al-Eeyn over their Husbands in this World

The Prophet (saw) told us that al-Hoor feel jealous over their husbands in this world, if the wife of one of them upsets him. Ahmad and at-Tirmidhi report with a saheeh isnaad from Mu'aadh that the Messenger of Allaah (saw) said,

"No woman in this world upsets her husband but his wife from among al-Hoor al-'Eeyn will say, "Do not upset him, may Allaah kill you! For he is with you only temporarily, and soon he will leave you and come to us."" [saheeh al-Jaami' as-Sagheer, 6/125, no. 7069]

(iv) The believer in Paradise will be given the Strength of One Hundred Men

Anas reported that the Prophet (saw) said, "The believer in Paradise will be given such and such strength." He was asked, "O Messenger of Allaah, will he really be able to do that?" He said, "He will be given the strength of one hundred men." [it was reported by at-Tirmidhi, Mishkaat al-Masaabeeh, 3/90, no. 5636, at-Tirmidhi said: "ghareeb saheeh."]
