Narrated Abi Horairah that the Messenger of Allah (PAPBUH) said:" One who works to support a widow or a poor person is equal in reward with a Mujahid in the name of Allah and similar to one who stays up praying at night and fasts during the day" (Ibn Majeh)

Narrated Abdullah Ibn Amr (may Allah be pleased with both of them) that a man came to the Prophet (PAPBUH) to take his permission to go our for Jihad, the Messenger (PAPBUH) asked him: are your parents alive? He said yes. The Messenger (PAPBU) said in them you make Jihad" (reported by Bukhari)

N.B: meaning looking after them equal Jihad, imagine, how many of us waste such golden chances and prefer the company of friends over parents??????

Do we need comments?????

Narrated Mo`qal Ibn Yassar that the Messenger salla Allah a`lyhee wa sallam said: One who says in the morning aoudh Billah Assame`a Al A`alaeem minashaytan arrajeem 3 times then recited the last three Ayahs of Suratul Hashar (starting from Law anzalna hadhal quran) , Allah Shall Assign to him/her 70 thousand angles to make salah (make dua for him/her) on him till evening and if one died on that day, he /she will be granted a martyr status. One who says that in the evening shall also acquire the same position.


Is this bad? I think 70 thousand angles making dua is not bad at all, come on brothers and sisters seize the chance.

Narrted under the authority of Ubada Ibn Assamet may Allah be Pleased with him, he said I heard the Messenger of Allah (Salla Allah a`lyhee wa sallam ) say: One who makes Istighfar (asks Allah for forgiveness) for the believers, Allah Shall record a good deed (hasana) for each male and female believer"( reported by Albani)


Just imagine the number of male and female belivers if u just and say O Allah Forgive the believers, just imagine the number of hasanat u r going to attain. How easy and not time consuming.

Praise be to Allah, Creator of the Universe and King of the Kings, prayer and peace be upon His Messenger Mohamed Ibn Abdullah, and and all Prophets and Messengers.


Types of temptations (Fitnah) Muslims are subjected to are numerous covering fitnah of life (mahia), death (mamat), grave (Qabr), and of course the Dallah (Pseudo Messiah). If any of my brothers and sisters didn’t read about him and how hard and serious his fitnah is, read here to be familiar with it:


http://www.the-quest.info/source/THE_FITNA...L_AND_WOMEN.htm


Don’t you agree with me that this is really serious, may Allah Protect us all, but how to prepare? What to do? How to handle this in case we live it? Allah never ignores a part of our lives no matter what it is, leave alone a grave threat like this. The Messenger salla Allah a`lyhee wa sallam gave us a tip to confront this serious situation, easy and simple one, just by memorizing ten Ayahs, yes just ten Ayahs of the beginning of Suratu Kahf, Allah Protects you from this serious and grave fitnah which you can never stand on your own.


Narrated Abi Al Dardaa that the Messenger salla Allah a`lyhee wa sallam said:" One who memorizes the first ten Ayahs of Surat Kahf (Quran 18) shall be protected against ftinah of Dajjal"(reported by Abi Daoud)


Brothers and sisters, rush and seize this chance don’t let it go, you never know whether or not you will live it.


Alhamdulelah Who has Guided us for this and if it was not for Him we would never been guided.

Praise be to Allah, The Gracious The Sustainer One Who Gives, prayer and peace be upon His Messenger Mohamed Ibn Abdullah, and and all Prophets and Messengers.


Brothers and sisters, who does not want to secure a house in Jannah? I think none of us is not yearning for a house in Jannah. Matter of fact, we as Muslims look forward for nothing except this, to abode in jannah Insh a Allah. But how about if we have something that makes us certain to secure one? Shouldn’t we make every possible effort to achieve this only and essential goal of any Muslim? Actually, this is why we are here on this earth to start with. Isnt it?


Come with me let us delve into this hadeeth and see how can we secure this house INsh a Allah. Very easy, you will not believer and not even time or money consuming. You will not have to incur much effort or money as in any other house on this earth.


Narrated Ibn Juraig that he asked A`taa saying I was informed that you perform Ruku (salah) of 12 Raka`a before the Friday? How were you informed about this? He answered I was told that Umm Habiba told A`nbasa Ibn Abi Sufian that the Messenger salla Allah a`lyhee wa sallam said one who perform 12 voluntary Raka not the obligator during a day and night, Allah may He be Glorified Shall Construct for him a house in Jannah"


(reported by Sunan Nasaai)


For better explanation: When you pray the following extra Rakas (sunnah):


Fajr = 2 raka before Fajr



Zohr = 4 before and two after


Maghreb = 2 after


Esha = 2 after


Total count will be 12


Insh aAllah if you try to take things gradually and insert them into your schedule, it will be much easier. Try, don’t look and say O who has the time? How can I get the effort and time for this? It is easy once you start, Allah Shall help you attain it. Just by making the intention that you really are eager for this reward, Allah Shall Help much you wouldn’t believe.


Alhamdulelah Who has Guided us for this and if it was not for Him we wouldn’t have been guided.

Jazaky Allah khayr sister M. Regarding those Raka's, specially thethoher prayers, if u are at work and cannot take that time to pray the sunna, u can always keep them at night after the esha prayer, that what the prophet used to do if he was on jihad and no time for sunna or travelling, he would pray the sunna ones at night after isha prayers, that was told to us by sheikh Sayed Noah. So there is always leniancy in islam alhamdulilah :)

Narrated under the authority of Abi Horaira said that the Messenger of Allah salla Allah a`lyhee wa sallam said: one who maintains praying two Raka`a of Doha (which starts 20 minutes after sunrise and lasts till before Zohr), his/her sins will be forgiven even if they were in the amount of the foam that tops sea water” (reported by Sunan Ibn Majeh).



Narrated Abdullah Ibn A`mr that he heard the Messenger of Allah salla Allah a`lyhee wa sallam say: Any man living on earth and say la ilaha ila Allah, wallahu Akbar wasobhan Allah walhamdulelah wala hawla wala qowata ila billah except that his sins are expiated even if they were in the amount of foam topping sea water” (reported by Musnad Ahmed)



Narrated Abi Said may Allah Be Pleased with him that the Messenger salla Allah a`lyhee wa sallam said One who says when he is in bed to sleep astaghferullah AlA`zeem alladhi la ilaha ila howal hayul qayoum wa atoub elayhee (I ask the forgiveness of Allah The Most Great Whom none has the right to be worshipped but He), the Ever Living, the One Who sustains and protects all that exists and I repent to Him) three times, Allah Shall Forgive his sins even if they were in the amount of foam topping sea water, even if they were large as the number of tree leaves, even if they were as equal as the number of sand of A`lej (a place that contains nothing but sand), and even if they were as equal as the number of days of this world” (reported by Sunan Termidhi)



Sobhan Allah The Merciful, The All knowing I mean my heart really softens when I read these golden opportunities Allah Blesses us with. Allah Is not obliged to help us out when we mess up, but who else but Allah Could be more concerned for us, for His creation. Who else Can realize how we sometimes mess up when we really don’t want to, then remorse inevitable follows when there is not way to make up. The moment that passes never comes back, so how can a human being make up for the mess he creates with his own hand specially when this mess involves Allah. When one develops this sense of closeness to Allah that the person feels that Allah Is constantly watching, one feels terrible when he/she messes up. But Allah Sobhanhu wa Ta`la is The Merciful, Allah Allows us very simple means that don’t even consume time or effort.



Two Raka`a which don’t need more than 10 minute probably when one prays with a heart fully set on prayer.



Making the dhikr as mentioned above which doesn’t consume more than 5 minutes, imagine?


Or making Istighfar just before going to sleep only 3 times, this one really needs no more than 5 seconds.


O Allah, what an opportunity? Usually when we hear about an announcement of sale or clearance in a store, we just rush. Come on brothers and sisters rush towards the One Who Is Waiting for us to initiate a step forward. Let us all lighten our shoulders from sins using those simple and quick means.



May Allah Accept

Still taking an indepth look at how Allah Is Genrous


[b]“ (The Messenger salla Allah a`lyhee wa sallam said; one who recites Surat kahf on Friday, Allah illuminates to him light between the two Jumaa’s” (Saheeh Jam`ea sagheer)[/b]



Sobhan Allah, <b>just by spending like 15 minutes</b>,
reciting Kahf does not need more than this. Of course for our brothers and sisters who are not native Arabic speakers, it might need more. Yet this is even a stronger source of more reward, just by investing such a little time, <b>you receive enough light to last you between the two Jumaa’s. Let us stop now and see how beneficial this light is?</b>



When Allah Sends light to illuminate for one whole week, it means that you will be supported with sufficient guidance, and criterion to help u decide and run your affairs. Who does not need this? In some cases, we become infatuated with our own intellect thinking that we make sound decisions using them. No we don’t. Unless Allah Gives us such light, we can never pursue our day to day life affairs. Such light and guidance will help us differentiate between what is halal and what is haram, will help us follow the correct path, will help us stop and think to ourselves, is it worth to say this or should I keep quite, it will help us realize how to handle my unjust boss, treat my stubborn child/spouse..etc. I can go forever to list a long list of how can we benefit of such light for one whole week in return for only 15 or 30 minutes, what a winning deal. Please note that this is not a win to win situation. I mean in this deal Allah Gives without a return. Sobhan Allah Who Is Free of all Wants (Al Ghany).


Seize the chance brothers and sisters, don’t miss it.
