PERISTIWA PERANG KHANDAK

Peristiwa luar biasa di medan Khandak
IMAM Bukhari meriwayatkan dalam Sahih Bukharinya yang dinukil dari Jabir r.a. katanya:
"Pada hari persiapan perang Khandak, kami bekerja keras menggali parit. Tiba-tiba kami dapati satu bungkah batu besar dalam parit yang sedang digali, lalu kami maklumkan kepada Nabi s.a.w. Setelah mendengar berita itu, Nabi s.a.w. menyatakan untuk turun sendiri ke dalam parit bagi mengatasi masalah batu besar itu.Ketika Nabi s.a.w. turun menghampiri batu besar itu, aku terlihat beberapa ketul batu dibalut dengan kain dan diikat pada perut Nabi s.a.w..Sudah tiga hari kami menggali parit dalam keadaan tiada sebarang makanan untuk mengalas perut kami. Semua bekerja dalam keadaan lapar, Nabi s.a.w. sendiri menanggung lapar sehingga perutnya dialas dengan ketul-ketul batu untuk mengurangkan rasa lapar yang sangat mencengkam."Demikianlah keadaan Nabi membuat persiapan perang dalam keadaan lapar.

Meskipun demikian namun Nabi s.a.w. tidak menyerah kalah dengan halangan batu besar yang hampir menggagalkan rancangan membina parit bagi menghalang kemaraan tentera al-Ahzab.Dengan sebuah tukul besi yang berat, Nabi s.a.w. menghayun dan menghentaknya ke atas batu pejal dengan sekuat hati. Dengan izin Allah batu besar itu pecah berkecai.Dilihat secara zahir, batu besar itu tidak mudah untuk dihancurkan. Namun Nabi s.a.w. tetap berusaha dengan kudrat yang ada. Allah SWT mendatangkan pertolongan-Nya dengan bantuan mukjizat, batu besar itu dapat dihancurkan.Setelah itu Jabir minta izin dari Nabi untuk pulang ke rumah. Sampai di rumah, Jabir memberitahu isterinya keadaan di medan Khandak sudah tiga hari tiada makanan.

Keadaan Nabi s.a.w. sendiri sangat menyedihkan, baginda terpaksa mengikat perut dengan batu-batu berbalut kain, bagi mengurangkan rasa lapar supaya dapat meneruskan kerja-kerja membina parit."allahummadollialasayyidamuhammad"

Jabir dan isterinya berusaha menyediakan sedikit makanan untuk alas perut terutama untuk Nabi s.a.w. Mereka hanya mempunyai sedikit gandum dan seekor anak kambing yang sangat kurus. Jabir menyembelih satu-satunya kambing yang dimiliki, dan isterinya mengisar gandum untuk buat roti.Kemudian Jabir bergegas semula ke medan Khandak mempersilakan Nabi s.a.w. ke rumahnya untuk makan ala kadar. Jabir juga minta Nabi mengajak seorang dua sahabat untuk bersama menjamah makan. Kerana makanan yang disediakan oleh isterinya hanya beberapa keping roti dan seperiuk sup seekor anak kambing yang kurus.Nabi s.a.w. memberitahu jabir, makanan tersebut cukup untuk menjamu semua tiga ribu petugas Khandak. Lalu Nabi berpesan kepada Jabir supaya periuk sup kambing itu tidak dialih dari dapur, dan tunggu sehingga Nabi s.a.w. datang membahagi-bahagikan makanan itu kepada ribuan ahli Khandak itu.Sebelum Jabir pulang kerumahnya, Nabi s.a.w. memaklumkan kepada semua ahli Khandak, bahawa Jabir dan keluarganya telah menyediakan makanan yang banyak. Semua para petugas Khandak dipersilakan ke rumah Jabir untuk menikmati jamuan tersebut.Jabir agak terkejut dan bergegas pulang dengan cemas, memberitahu isterinya tentang pengumuman Nabi s.a.w. menjemput semua (tiga ribu) ahli Khandak.Dia agak kebingungan dan mungkin akan mendapat malu besar apabila hanya segelintir dari mereka yang akan dapat menjamah makanan, kerana hanya sedikit makanan yang dapat disediakan.

Tetapi Isteri Jabir merasa cukup tenang apabila mendengar bahawa Nabi s.a.w. sendiri yang akan membahagi-bahagikan makanan itu.Dia berserah kepada Allah SWT dan terserah kepada Rasul-Nya membahagikan rezeki yang sedikit untuk sajian ribuan manusia.Nabi s.a.w. minta agar ahli Khandak masuk bergilir-gilir dan jangan berebut-rebut, kerana rezeki yang akan disajikan lebih dari mencukupi.Nabi s.a.w. mula membahagikan makanan setiap seorang dengan sepotong roti dan seketul daging sup kambing. Setiap kali Nabi s.a.w. mengoyak roti dan mengaut daging kambing dengan senduk dari periuk yang sama, makanan itu tetap berbaki meskipun telah dibahagikan kepada sejumlah besar manusia.Begitulah seterusnya Nabi s.a.w. mengoyakkan roti dan meletakkan seketul daging, sehingga semua tiga ribu orang dapat menikmatinya dengan masing-masing merasa sangat kenyang. Yang anihnya roti dan daging kambing di dalam periuk itu sentiasa ada dan tidak berkurangan.Setelah semua ahli Khandak selesai menikmati hidangan yang luar biasa itu, lalu Nabi s.a.w. menyerahkan semula baki roti dan sup kambing itu kepada Jabir dan keluarganya.Nabi mempersilakan Jabir dan isterinya makan, di samping menganjurkan supaya memberikan makanan itu kepada penduduk kampung, kerana tahun itu Madinah sedang menghadapi kekurangan makanan.Demi Allah, kata Jabir bukan saja tiga ribu ahli Khandak dapat menikmati makanan yang disediakan oleh isterinya, malah hampir seluruh penduduk Madinah yang datang kerumahnya pulang dalam keadaan kenyang. "ALLAHU AKBAR!"

Soalannya :Penghuni syurga tak ada amal ibadat, takada kerja, tak tidur. Nanti lama-lamatak boring ke duduk dalam syurga?

Jawapan maulana :Demi Allah, penghuni syurga tak akan rasa boring walau sedikit sebab;

1.Di dunia, kita ada isteri. Berapa lamakita boleh bersembang2 dengan isteri?Lama2 kita akan rasa boring.Tapi di syurga, bila kita bersembang2dengan isteri dan setiap kali kitakelipkan mata (macam kat dunia jugakrupanya, mata boleh berkelip2) makaisteri kita akan 70 kali lebih cantikdari sebelumnya. Bila kelip mata lagi,isteri kita jadi 70 kali lebih cantik.Begitu juga isteri bila kelip mata, akanlihat suami 70 kali lebih hensem daritadi. Jadi mana ada boring? Penghunisyurga boleh bersembang beribu2 tahunlamanya.

2.Di dunia, lelaki paling suka tengoklenggang-lenggok wanita berjalan. Caraberjalan yang paling mahal (agaknya)adalah 'catwalk' peragawati.Dalam syurga, satu langkah isteri ada 70lenggok. Itu baru jalan biasa, belum'catwalk'. Kalau 'catwalk' tak tau la...(bab isteri, hanya cerita dua perkara nisaja. Banyak lagi perkara lain.. Censored!)

3.Di dunia kalau kita diberi ais kerim ½kilo, amacam? Suapan pertama sedapsangat. Kesedapan berkurangan padasetiap suapan berikutnya. Agak2 aparasanya pada suapan terakhir ketikaperut dah sebu? Nak muntah...Di syurga, setiap suapan makananmempunyai 70 rasa. Suapan keduakenikmatan bertambah 70 kali ganda.Begitulah suapan seterusnya... Jadimakan beribu2 tahun pun tak akan boring.

4.Di dunia manusia suka dengan hiburandan muzik. Satu lagu hanya sedap didengar sepanjang 3 hingga 3½ minit.Kalau lebih dah boring. Lagu pun akan ditukar ke lagu baru. Lagu lama kita dah tak nak dengar.

Di syurga, Allah sendiri akan baca Quran kepada manusia. Seluruh daun2 pokok,sungai2 akan berbunyi menjadi seperti satu orkestra. Awan2 akan berarak ke ataspendengar2 dan jatuh berguguran di atasmereka. Bila terkena awan2 tu, wajahpenghuni syurga akan bertambah cantikdan bila pulang ke rumah, para isteriakan terkejut melihat kehenseman suami.Jadi demi Allah kata maulana,

syurga memang tak akan boring!

RASULULLAH S.A.W dan pengemis yahudi

Di sudut pasar Madinah Al-Munawarah seorang pengemis Yahudi buta hari demi hari apabila ada orang yang mendekatinya ia selalu berkata “Wahai saudaraku jangan dekati Muhammad, dia itu orang gila, dia itu pembohong, dia itu tukang sihir, apabila kalian mendekatinya kalian akan dipengaruhinya”.

Setiap pagi Rasulullah SAW mendatanginya dengan membawa makanan, dan tanpa berkata sepatah kata pun Rasulullah SAW menyuapi makanan yang dibawanya kepada pengemis itu walaupun pengemis itu selalu berpesan agar tidak mendekati orang yang bernama Muhammad. Rasulullah SAW melakukannya hingga menjelang Beliau SAW wafat. Setelah kewafatan Rasulullah tidak ada lagi orang yang membawakan makanan setiap pagi kepada pengemis Yahudi buta itu.

Suatu hari Abubakar r.a berkunjung ke rumah anaknya Aisyah r.ha. Beliau bertanya kepada anaknya, “anakku adakah sunnah kekasihku yang belum aku kerjakan”, Aisyah r.ha menjawab pertanyaan ayahnya, “Wahai ayah engkau adalah seorang ahli sunnah hampir tidak ada satu sunnah pun yang belum ayah lakukan kecuali satu sunnah saja”. “Apakah Itu?”, tanya Abubakar r.a. Setiap pagi Rasulullah SAW selalu pergi ke ujung pasar dengan membawakan makanan untuk seorang pengemis Yahudi buta yang berada di sana”, kata Aisyah r.ha.

Ke esokan harinya Abubakar r.a. pergi ke pasar dengan membawa makanan untuk diberikannya kepada pengemis itu. Abubakar r.a mendatangi pengemis itu dan memberikan makanan itu kepada nya. Ketika Abubakar r.a. mulai menyuapinya, si pengemis marah sambil berteriak, “siapakah kamu ?”. Abubakar r.a menjawab, “aku orang yang biasa”. “Bukan !, engkau bukan orang yang biasa mendatangiku”, jawab si pengemis buta itu. Apabila ia datang kepadaku tidak susah tangan ini memegang dan tidak susah mulut ini mengunyah. Orang yang biasa mendatangiku itu selalu menyuapiku, tapi terlebih dahulu dihaluskannya makanan tersebut dengan mulutnya setelah itu ia berikan pada ku dengan mulutnya sendiri”, pengemis itu melanjutkan perkataannya.

Abubakar r.a. tidak dapat menahan air matanya, ia menangis sambil berkata kepada pengemis itu, aku memang bukan orang yang biasa datang pada mu, aku adalah salah seorang dari sahabatnya, orang yang mulia itu telah tiada. Ia adalah Muhammad Rasulullah SAW. Setelah pengemis itu mendengar cerita Abubakar r.a. ia pun menangis dan kemudian berkata, benarkah demikian?, selama ini aku selalu menghinanya, memfitnahnya, ia tidak pernah memarahiku sedikitpun, ia mendatangiku dengan membawa makanan setiap pagi, ia begitu mulia…. Pengemis Yahudi buta tersebut akhirnya bersyahadat dihadapan Abubakar r.a.

1 SUBUH BERSAMA RASULULLAH S.A.W

Dini hari di Madinah Al-Munawwarah. Aku saksikan sahabat-sahabat berkumpul di masjidmu. Angin sahara membekukan kulitku. Gigiku gemeretak, kakiku berguncang.
Tiba-tiba pintu hujrahmu terbuka. Dan kau datang, ya Rasulallah. Kami pandang dikau. “Assalamu ‘alaika ayyuhan nabi warahmatullahi wabarakatuh,” kudengar salam disampaikan bersahut-sahutan. Kau tersenyum, ya Rasulallah. Wajahmu bersinar. Angin sahara berubah hangat. Cahayamu memasuki seluruh daging dan jiwaku. Dini hari Madinah berubah menjadi pagi yang indah. Kudengar kau bersabda, “Adakah air pada kalian?”
Cepat-cepat kutengok gharibah-ku. Kulihat para sahabat yang lain sibuk memeriksa kantong mereka, “Tak ada setitik air pun, ya Rasulallah.” Kusesali diriku, mengapa tidak kucari air yang cukup sebelum tiba di masjidmu. Beruntung benar sekiranya kubasahi wajah dan tanganmu dengan percikan air dari kantung airku.
Kudengar suaramu yang indah, “Bawakan padaku wadah yang masih basah.” Aku ingin loncat mempersembahkan gharibah airku tapi ratusan sahabatmu berdesakan mendekatimu. Kau ambil satu gharibah air yang kosong. Kau celupkan jari jemarimu yang mulia. Subhanallah, kulihat air mengalir dari sela-sela jemarimu. Kami berdesakan, berebutan berwudhu dari pancuran sucimu. Betapa sejuk air itu ya Rasulallah. Betapa harum air itu ya Nabiyallah. Betapa lezat air itu, ya Habiballah. Kulihat Abdullah bin Mas’ud pun mereguk sepuas-puasnya.
Qad qamatish shalah, qad qamatish shalah…
Alangkah bahagianya aku bisa salat di belakangmu, ya Sayyidal Anam. Ayat-ayat suci mengalir dari suaramu. Melimpah, memenuhi jantung dan seluruh pembuluh darahku.
Usai salat subuh, kau pandangi kami, masih dengan senyum yang indah itu. Cahaya wajahmu, ya Rasulallah, tak mungkin aku lupakan. Ingin kubenamkan setetes diriku dalam samudera dirimu. Ingin kujatuhkan sebutir pribadiku pada sahara tak terhingga pribadimu.
Kudengar kau berkata, “Menurut kalian, siapakah mahluk yang paling menakjubkan imannya?”
Kami jawab serempak, “Malaikat, ya Rasulallah.”
“Bagaimana mereka tak beriman, padahal mereka berada di samping Tuhan mereka?” jawabmu.
“Kalau begitu para nabi, ya Rasulallah.”
“Bagaimana mereka tak beriman, bukankah wahyu turun kepada mereka?”
“Kalau begitu kami, sahabat-sahabatmu, ya Rasulallah.”
“Bagaimana kalian tak beriman padaku padahal aku berada di tengah-tengah kalian? Bagaimana sahabat-sahabatku tidak beriman? Mereka menyaksikan apa yang mereka saksikan.” Aku tahu, ya Rasulallah, kami telah saksikan mukjizatmu. Kulihat wajahmu yang bersinar, kulihat air telah mengalir dari sela jemarimu, bagaimana mungkin kami tak beriman kepadamu. Kalau begitu siapa ya Rasulallah, orang yang kau sebut paling menakjubkan imannya?
Langit Madinah bening, bumi Madinah hening. Kami termangu. Ah, gerangan siapa mereka itu? Siapa yang kaupuji itu, ya Rasulallah? Kutahan napasku, kucurahkan perhatianku. Dan bibirmu yang mulia mulai bergerak, “Orang yang paling menakjubkan imannya adalah kaum yang datang sesudahku. Yang beriman kepadaku, padahal mereka tak pernah melihat dan berjumpa denganku. Yang paling menakjubkan imannya adalah orang yang datang setelah aku tiada. Yang membenarkan aku padahal mereka tak pernah melihatku. Mereka adalah saudara-saudaraku.”
Kami terkejut. “Ya Rasulallah, bukankah kami saudaramu juga?”
Kau menjawab, “Benar, kalian adalah para sahabatku. Adapun saudaraku adalah mereka yang hidup setelah aku. Yang beriman kepadaku padahal mereka tak pernah melihatku. Merekalah yang beriman kepada yang gaib, yang menunaikan salat, yang menginfakkan sebagian rezeki yang diberikan kepada mereka

(QS. Al-Baqarah; 3)”.
الَّذِينَ يُؤْمِنُونَ بِالْغَيْبِ وَيُقِيمُونَ الصَّلاةَ وَمِمَّا رَزَقْنَاهُمْ يُنفِقُونَ
Kau diam sejenak ya Rasulallah. Langit Madinah bening, bumi Madinah hening. Kudengar kau berkata, “Alangkah rindunya aku berjumpa dengan saudara-saudaraku. Alangkah beruntungnya bila aku dapat bertemu dengan saudara-saudaraku.”
Suaramu parau dan butiran air mata tergenang di sudut matamu. Kau ingin berjumpa dengan mereka, ya Rasulallah. Kau rindukan mereka, ya Nabiyallah. Kau dambakan mereka, ya Habiballah…
Wahai Rasulullah, kau ingin bertemu dengan mereka yang tak pernah dijumpaimu, mereka yang bibirnya selalu bergetar menggumamkan shalawat untukmu. Kau ingin datang memeluk mereka, memuaskan kerinduanmu. Kau akan datang kepada mereka yang mengunjungimu dengan shalawat. Masih kuingat sabdamu, “Barangsiapa yang datang kepadaku, aku akan memberinya syafaat di hari kiamat.”
Ya wajihan ‘indallah, isyfa’lana ‘indallah.
Wahai yang mulia di sisi Allah, berikanlah syafaat kepada kami di sisi Allah.

YOU MUST KNOW THIS MAN

You Must Know This Man

You may be an antheist or an agnostic; or you may belong to any of the religious denominations that exist in the world today. You may be a communist or a believer in democracy and freedom. No matter what you are, and no matter what your ideological and political beliefs, personal and social habits happen to be -- YOU MUST STILL KNOW THIS MAN.

ENCYCLOPEDIA BRITANNICA confirms:
"....a mass of detail in the early sources show that he was an honest and upright man who had gained the respect and loyalty of others who were like-wise honest and upright men." (Vol. 12)

GEORGE BERNARD SHAW said about him:
"He must be called the Saviour of Humanity. I believe that if a man like him were to assume the dictatorship of the modern world, he would succeed in solving its problems in a way that would bring it much needed peace and happiness." (THE GENUINE ISLAM, Singapore, Vol. 1, No. 8, 1936)
He was by far the most remarkable man that ever set foot on this earth. He preached a religion, founded a state, built a nation, laid down a moral code, initiated numerous social and political reforms, established a powerful and dynamic society to practice and represent his teachings and completely revolutionized the worlds of human thought and behavior for all times to come.
"HIS NAME IS MUHAMMAD" May Peace of God Be Upon Him (pbuh)
He was born in Arabia in the year 570 C.E. (common era), started his mission of preaching the religion of Truth, Islam (submission to One God) at the age of forty and departed from this world at the age of sixty-three.
During this short period of 23 years of his Prophethood, he changed the complete Arabian peninsula from paganism and idolatry to worship of One God, from tribal quarrels and wars to national solidarity and cohesion, from drunkenness and debauchery to sobriety and piety, from lawlessness and anarchy to disciplined living, from utter bankruptcy to the highest standards of moral excellence. Human history has never known such a complete transformation of a people or a place before or since - and IMAGINE all these unbelievable wonders in JUST OVER TWO DECADES.
LAMARTINE, the renowned historian speaking on the essentials of human greatness wonders:
"If greatness of purpose, smallness of means and astounding results are the three criteria of human genius, who could dare to compare any great man in modern history with Muhammad? The most famous men created arms, laws and empires only. They founded, if anything at all, no more than material powers which often crumbled away before their eyes. This man moved not only armies, legislation, empires, peoples and dynasties, but millions of men in one-third of the then inhabited world; and more than that, he moved the altars, the gods, the religions, the ideas, the beliefs and souls....his forbearance in victory, his ambition, which was entirely devoted to one idea and in no manner striving for an empire; his endless prayers, his mystic conversations with God, his death and his triumph after death; all these attest not to an imposture but to a firm conviction which gave him the power to restore a dogma. This dogma was two-fold, the unity of God and the immateriality of God; the former telling what God is, the latter telling what God is not; the one overthrowing false gods with the sword, the other starting an idea with the words.

"Philosopher, orator, apostle, legislator, warrior, conqueror of ideas, restorer of rational dogmas, of a cult without images, the founder of twenty terrestrial empires and of one spiritual empire, that is MUHAMMAD. As regards all the standards by which Human Greatness may be measured, we may well ask, IS THERE ANY MAN GREATER THAN HE?" (Lamartine, HISTOIRE DE LA TURQUIE, Paris, 1854, Vol. II, pp 276-277)
The world has had its share of great personalities. But these were one-sided figures who distinguished themselves in but one or two fields, such as religious thought or military leadership. The lives and teachings of these great personalities of the world are shrouded in the mist of time.
There is so much speculation about the time and place of their birth, the mode and style of their life, the nature and detail of their teachings and the degree and measure of their success or failure that it is impossible for humanity to reconstruct accurately the lives and teachings of these men.
Not so this man. Muhammad (pbuh) accomplished so much in such diverse fields of human thought and behavior in the fullest blaze of human history. Every detail of his private life and public utterances has been accurately documented and faithfully preserved to our day. The authenticity of the record so preserved are vouched for not only by the faithful followers but even by his prejudiced critics.
Muhammad (pbuh) was a religious teacher, a social reformer, a moral guide, an administrative colossus, a faithful friend, a wonderful companion, a devoted husband, a loving father - all in one. No other man in history ever excelled or equaled him in any of these different aspects of life - but it was only for the selfless personality of Muhammad (pbuh) to achieve such incredible perfections.

MAHATMA GANDHI, speaking on the character of Muhammad, (pbuh) says in YOUNG INDIA:
"I wanted to know the best of one who holds today's undisputed sway over the hearts of millions of mankind....I became more than convinced that it was not the sword that won a place for Islam in those days in the scheme of life. It was the rigid simplicity, the utter self-effacement of the Prophet, the scrupulous regard for his pledges, his intense devotion to this friends and followers, his intrepidity, his fearlessness, his absolute trust in God and in his own mission.
"These and not the sword carried everything before them and surmounted every obstacle. When I closed the 2nd volume (of the Prophet's biography), I was sorry there was not more for me to read of the great life."

THOMAS CALYLE in his HEROES AND HERO WORSHIP,

was simply amazed as to:
"how one man single-handedly, could weld warring tribes and wandering Bedouins into a most powerful and civilized nation in less than two decades."

DIWAN CHAND SHARMA wrote:
"Muhammad was the soul of kindness, and his influence was felt and never forgotten by those around him." (D.C. Sharma, THE PROPHETS OF THE EAST, Calcutta, 1935, pp. 12)
EDWARD GIBBON and SIMON OCKLEY speaking on the profession of ISLAM write:
"'I BELIEVE IN ONE GOD, AND MAHOMET, AN APOSTLE OF GOD' is the simple and invariable profession of Islam. The intellectual image of the Deity has never been degraded by any visible idol; the honor of the Prophet has never transgressed the measure of human virtues; and his living precepts have restrained the gratitude of his disciples within the bounds of reason and religion." (HISTORY OF THE SARACEN EMPIRES, London, 1870, p. 54)
Muhammad (pbuh) was nothing more or less than a human being. But he was a man with a noble mission, which was to unite humanity on the worship of ONE and ONLY ONE GOD and to teach them the way to honest and upright living based on the commands of God. He always described himself as, 'A Servant and Messenger of God,' and so indeed every action of his proclaimed to be.

Speaking on the aspect of equality before God in Islam, the famous poetess of India, SAROJINI NAIDU says:
"It was the first religion that preached and practiced democracy; for, in the mosque, when the call for prayer is sounded and worshippers are gathered together, the democracy of Islam is embodied five times a day when the peasant and king kneel side by side and proclaim: 'God Alone is Great'... I have been struck over and over again by this indivisible unity of Islam that makes man instinctively a brother." (S. Naidu, IDEALS OF ISLAM, vide Speeches & Writings, Madras, 1918, p. 169)

In the words of PROF. HURGRONJE:
"The league of nations founded by the prophet of Islam put the principle of international unity and human brotherhood on such universal foundations as to show candle to other nations." He continues: "The fact is that no nation of the world can show a parallel to what Islam has done towards the realization of the idea of the League of Nations."
The world has not hesitated to raise to divinity, individuals whose lives and missions have been lost in legend. Historically speaking, none of these legends achieved even a fraction of what Muhammad (pbuh) accomplished. And all his striving was for the sole purpose of uniting mankind for the worship of One God on the codes of moral excellence. Muhammad (pbuh) or his followers never at any time claimed that he was a Son of God or the God-incarnate or a man with divinity - but he always was and is even today considered as only a Messenger chosen by God.

MICHAEL H. HART

in his recently published book on ratings of men who contributed towards the benefit and upliftment of mankind writes:
"My choice of Muhammad to lead the list of the world's most influential persons may surprise some readers and may be questioned by others, but he was the only man in history who was supremely successful on both the religious and secular levels." (M.H. Hart, THE 100: A RANKING OF THE MOST INFLUENTIAL PERSONS IN HISTORY, New York, 1978, p. 33)
K. S. RAMAKRISHNA RAO, an Indian Professor of Philosophy in his booklet, "Muhammad, The Prophet of Islam," calls him the "PERFECT MODEL FOR HUMAN LIFE."

Prof. Ramakrishna Rao explains his point by saying:
"The personality of Muhammad, it is most difficult to get into the whole truth of it. Only a glimpse of it I can catch. What a dramatic succession of picturesque scenes! There is Muhammad, the Prophet. There is Muhammad, the Warrior; Muhammad, the Businessman; Muhammad, the Statesman; Muhammad, the Orator; Muhammad, the Reformer; Muhammad, the Refuge of Orphans; Muhammad, the Protector of Slaves; Muhammad, the Emancipator of Women; Muhammad, the Judge; Muhammad, the Saint. All in all these magnificent roles, in all these departments of human activities, he is alike a hero."
Today after a lapse of fourteen centuries, the life and teachings of MUHAMMAD (pbuh) have survived without the slightest loss, alteration or interpolation. They offer the same undying hope for treating mankind's many ills, which they did when he was alive. This is not a claim of Muhammad's (pbuh) followers but also the inescapable conclusion forced upon by a critical and unbiased history.
The least YOU could do as a thinking and concerned human being is to stop for a moment and ask yourself: Could these statements sounding so extraordinary and revolutionary be really true? And supposing they really are true and you did not know this man MUHAMMAD (pbuh) or hear about him, isn't it time you responded to this tremendous challenge and put in some effort to know him?
It will cost you nothing but it may prove to be the beginning of a completely new era in your life.
We invite you to make a discovery of this wonderful man, MUHAMMAD (pbuh), the like of whom never walked on the face of this earth.

TEARS OF RASULULLAH S.A.W

Suddenly, there was a person said salaam.“May I come in?” he asked.But Fatimah did not allow him enter the room.I’m sorry, my father is ill,” said Fatimah turned back and closed the door.She went back to her father who had opened his eyes and asked Fatimah,
“Who was he, my daughter?”“I don’t know, my father. It was the first time for me to see him,” Fatimah said gently.Then, Rasulullah looked at his daughter with trembled look, as if he wantedto reminisce about every part of her daughter’s face.“Know one thing! He is who erases the temporary pleasure; he is who separates the companionship in the world.
He is the death angel,” said Rasulullah .

Fatimah bore the bomb of her cry. The death angel came toward him,
But Rasulullah asked why Jibril did not come along with him.Then, Jibril was called. Jibril was ready in the sky to welcome the soul ofHabibullah and the leader of the earth.“O Jibril, explain me about my rights in front of ALLAH?” Rasulullah asked with a weakest voice.“The doors of sky has opened, the angels are waiting for your soul.”“All jannats open widely waiting for you,” Jibril said.

But, in fact, those all did not make Rasulullah relieve, his eyeswere still full of worry.“You are not happy to hear this news?” asked Jibril.“Tell me about the destiny of my people in future?”“Don’t worry, o Rasul ALLAH . I heard ALLAH told me: ‘I make Jannat haramfor every one, except the people of Muhammad”Jibril said.It became closer and closer, the time for Malaekat Izrail to do his work.Slowly, Rasulullah’s soul was pulled. It was seemed that the body of Rasulullah was full of sweat; the nerves of his neck became tight.“Jibril, how pain this sakaratul maut is!”Rasulullah uttered a groan slowly. Fatimah closed her eyes, Ali sat besideher bow deeply and Jibril turned his face back.“Am I repugnant to you that you turn your face back o Jibril?”Rasulullah asked to the Deliverer of Wahyu.“Who is the one who could see the Habibullah in his sakaratul maut,” Jibril said.Not for a while, Rasulullah uttered a groan because of unbearable pain.

“O ALLAH, how greatest is this sakaratul maut. Give me all these pains,don’t to my people.”

The body of Rasulullah became cold, his feet and chest did notmove anymore.His lips vibrated as if he wanted to say something, Ali took hisear close to Rasulullah .“Uushiikum bis shalati, wa maa malakat aimanuku - take care the saalat andtake care the weak people among you.”Outside the room, there were cries shouted at each other, sahabahheld each other. Fatimah closed her face with her hands and, again, Ali tookhis ear close to Rasulullah’s mouth which became bluish.
“Ummatii, ummatii, ummatii?” - “My people, my people, my people.”And the life of the noble man ended.
Could we love each other like him? Allahumma sholli ‘ala Muhammadwa baarik wa salim ‘alaihi. How deep is Rasulullah’s love to us.

Note:Send this to all your Muslim friends so that the awareness to love ALLAH and His Rasul appears as ALLAH and His Rasul love us - because -truly -the other loves, except it is only fana thing. Ameen.

~Don’t worry if people hate you because there are many others who love and care you in the earth. But be worry if ALLAH hates you because there is no other who loves and cares you in akhirat~

Ramadhan Reminder

Ramadhan Reminder

It is enough incentive for the Muslims to hear the following hadith to rush into obedience of Allah,

"Whoever fasts in the month of Ramadan purely because of his faith and sincerity all of his/her previous sins will be forgiven."

Forgiveness has two conditions:We have to pay close attention to the saying of the Messenger (SAW),

"Purely because of faith and sincerity".

It is those two conditions that differentiate between a regular habit and an act of worship. Thus, the one who fasts as a matter of habit or without sincerity, his/her fasting will no good. The Messenger of Allah (SAW) said,

"Whosoever does not saying and acting upon falsehood, Allah is in no need for him/her to abandon his/her food " (Bukhari).

On the other hand, there are glad tidings for those who fast out of sincerity. The Messenger (saws) said,

"There are two occasions for the fasting person where he/she will be happy. He/she will be happy when breaking the fast and will be happy, when he/she meets his/her lord." (Bukhari)

Fast for Seeing It and Break Fast for Seeing:

The moon can be sighted by all people and consequently the beginning and end of the months can be known by all. And the Messenger of Allah (SAW) taught us how to know when the month begins and when it ends. He also taught us what to do in case we don't see the moon. Bukhari narrates that the Messenger of Allah (SAW) said,

"Do not fast until you see the moon, and do not break fast until you see it". In another narration, the Messenger of Allah (SAW) said, "if you see it (moon) fast and if you see it break fast (and the moon). But, if it can't be seen, then calculate for it"

In another narration, the Messenger of Allah (SAW) said,

"The month is twenty nine nights. Thus, do not fast until you see it. But, if it is not visible, then complete the month thirty days".In addition, Ad-Dar Qutni and Abu Daul narrated (sahih hadith)

that Ibn Umar said that the Messenger of Allah (SAW) said, People were trying to sight the moon, and I told the Messenger of Allah (SAW) that I saw it. So he started fasting and ordered the people to start fasting. This hadith tells us that one person sighting the moon is sufficient to start fasting the month of Ramadan.Universal or local sighting?There is a disagreement among Muslims over whether the sighting of the moon in one region obligates Muslims in other regions to fast or not. The Hanafi, Maliki, and Hanbali schools of thought see that if the moon is sighted in a region, then all Muslims in all regions must fast. The Shafi school of thought, on the other hand, sees that sighting of the moon in one region is sufficient only for that region and not for others. The correct opinion is that one sighting is sufficient for all Muslims to fast and break fast.

This is regardless to where the sighting of the moon occurred. This is due to the honourable hadith.

"Fast for seeing it, and break for seeing it"

The phrase "for seeing it" is general for any sighting in any region. And Allah is the most knowing.At What Time of the Day We Fast and Break Fast question:Contrary to the timing of the month, the acts of worshiping in a day are dependent on the sun. Therefore, we abstain from food, drink and sexual intercourse from fajr till sunset.The Intention is A Requirement for Fasting.The intention is, indeed, differentiates an act of worship from an act of habit or an accident. For example, the person who abstains from eating, drinking, and sexual intercourse from Fajr till sunset for health reasons rather than for worshipping Allah the supreme is not considered to be fasting not Islamicaly and consequently will not be rewarded by Allah (SWT). Therefore, the person who wants to fast must have the pure intention for doing that action only to please Allah (SWT).

Contrary, to the common misunderstanding, the intention need not be said by the tongue, for the intention is act of the heart. Moreover, the intention must be settled in the heart before Fajr. Al-Tirmidhi and An-Nas'ai narrated that the Messenger of Allah (SAW) said,

"Who does not intend to fast from night time, he/she has no fast (not accepted)" So the heart must be set on fasting the next day. Waking up for suhur is also sufficient to be considered as an intention.There is Blessing in suhur:Surely, Suhur is sunnah. The Messenger (SAW) said, " have Suhur, for in surah there is blessing. " (Muslim)It is also preferred to delay Suhur for the saying of the Messenger (SAW), "my Ummah will be in good condition as long as they delay Suhur and rush in breaking fast" (Ahmed).

In addition, Suhur is what differentiates our fast from that of the people of the book. The Prophet (SAW) said, "The difference between our fast and that of the people of the book is the meal of Suhur." (Muslim). The Best Things To Keep Us Busy In Ramadan:Once the fasting Muslim has just left his/her food and drink for the sake of Allah (SWT) prohibited. So he/she would not curse, use foul language, harm people, talk nonsense, etc. Thus, the best the fasting person should keep him/herself busy with is the remembrance of Allah, attend sessions of knowledge, read Quran, and spend in the path of Allah, etc.If Someone Eats Or Drinks,

Forgetfully:

It is natural for the human being to make mistakes and even sin, for human beings are created weak imperfect. Allah (SWT) says, "And man was created weak." Consequently, the fasting Muslim can make a mistake by forgetfully eating or drinking. In this case he/she is not sinning. This is so because of the saying of Messenger of Allah (SWT),

"Allah has forgiven mistakes, forgetfulness, and what is due to compulsion from my Ummah."

Therefore, the fast for that person is still valid. The Messenger of Allah (SAW) says,

"If he forgets and eats and drinks, then he should complete his fast. It was Allah who fed him and gave him the drink." (Bukhari).

As for the person who's overcome by his /her desires and thus breaks fast deliberately, he/she has committed a great sin. If he breaks fast by sexual intercourse, then he must make it up as explained in the following hadith by Bukhari:

Abu Huraira said, "While sitting with the messenger of Allah (SAW), 'O Messenger of Allah I destroyed myself and destroyed my family also." He said, "What is the matter?" He said," I had sex with my wife in Ramadan." The Messenger of Allah (SAW) asked, "Do you have a neck (slave) to free. He said, "No". He said, " Can you fast two months consecutively?" He said, "No". He said. Can you feed sixty poor people?" He said, "No". After a while a branch of dates was brought to the Messenger (saw). He (the Messenger) said, "Where is the questioner?" He said, "Here I am." He said, "Take this and give it as charity." He said, "To someone poorer than me, O messenger of Allah? By Allah there is no family poorer than my family." The prophet (saw) laughed till his molar teeth could be seen and said, "Feed it to your family". This is with regard to sexual intercourse, but with regard to anything less than intercourse, it is permissible. Bukhari narrated that Aisha (raa) said, the prophet of Allah (saw) used to kiss and touch while fasting," It is also permissible to have sexual intercourse at night time and delay Ghusul (Shar'ii faith) till after Fajr. "Aisha (RAA) said that the prophet (SAW) used to take Ghusal form janabah after Fajr in Ramadan and fast." (Bukhari).

In addition, it is allowed for the fasting person to rinse the mouth (if some water mistakenly enters the mouth it is still valid), take a bath, wear perfume, use Kohl, and use Miswak.

Permission To Break Fast In Travelling and Sickness:

Allah (SWT) permitted us to break fast in travelling and in sickness on the condition that we make it up later on.

"And for those who are sick or travelling, then (the prescribed period should be made up) other days." This is by the mercy of Allah (SWT). If the traveller finds himself/herself able to fast and prefers to do so, it is allowed. Bukhari narrated that Hamza bin Amru said to the prophet (SAW), "Should I fast while travelling?" (He used to fast often). He said, "if you wish, fast, and if you wish break fast." In the case of jihad, however, the Messenger (SAW) used to obligate his companions to break fast when they were about to meet the enemy. The Messenger (SAW) said, "You are meeting your enemy tomorrow, and breaking fast will make you stronger, so break your fast."

Does Any Travel or Sickness Constitute Breaking the Fast?It is only the sickness where the fasting will delay its recovery or worsen it, that permits the person to break the fast. But, the one that is not affected by the fast is not a legitimate excuse. Also it is the allowed kind of travel that breaking fast is allowed in not the haram one.Fasting In Modern Transportation:Some might think it is better not to break fast nowadays when travelling is easier. For those we recite the Ayah, "And your lord is not forgetful." The Islamic laws are for all times and all places and they are put by the most knowledgeable about the past, present and future. Therefore, we cannot make rules our minds and desires while we have a clear and true guidance from Allah.The Menstruation and the Post-Childbirth Bleeding:Women in either of these conditions are obligated to break fast until they become pure again. The Messenger (SWT) said,

"Is it not that she does not fast nor pray during her menstruation period?"(Bukhari). They should make up for the missed days of fasting after Ramadan.The Pregnant and the Breast Feeding Women:If a woman is pregnant or breast feeds and she thinks she or her baby will suffer if she fasts, or she merely feels hardship in fasting, then she can break fast, but must make up the missed days. The Messenger of Allah (SWT) said, "Allah takes away half of the salah from the traveller, the breast-feeding women and the pregnant women ". (Abu Dawud).

The Elderly and the Incurable sick:

Both cases are in the category of the sick, except the elderly and the incurable do not have to make up the days that they have missed, for they are unable to do so, nonetheless, they have to feed one poor person as Bukhari narrated about the action of Anas.

The fasting of Children and Teaching Them Manners:

It is a fact only those who are above the age of puberty and sane are addressed by Shari'ah. It is important, however, for the parents to take care of their children from an early age, rise them to be able to live Islamically, to love the rules of Islam, and to be consistent in performing them. The Messenger (SWT) said, "Order your children to pray when they are seven years of age, beat them for it when they are ten years of age, and separate the in their beds".(Abu Dawud). The Messenger of Allah (SWT) and his companions used to do that.

And Prophet Mohammed (SWT) saw the children eating improperly, with him, he told the boy, "Boy! Say in the name of Allah (Bismillah), eat with your right hand, and eat from that which is in front of you". The effect of this lesson on this lesson on this little child lasted all his life. Bukhari narrated that the child said, "I have been eating as he ordered me since". Also Bukhari narrates that Ar-rabiia, the daughter of muawath (Raa) said, "We used to make our children fast and make their toys out of wool. If any of them cried because of hunger, we would give them toy till the time to breakfast". O, Muslims your children are trust that you will be questioned for. Teach them Islam, let them know that Allah and his Messenger, teach them to pray and fast and get them used to doing it properly. Teach them Quran, to read it and understand it. Make sure that they are in a relationship with Allah. That is not only good for them, but it is better and good for you in this life and hereafter.

"O Believers, protect yourselves and your families from the hell fire which has humans and stones as its fuel".Salatul-Tarawih:Abu Huraira said, "I heard the messenger of Allah (SAW) say, "The one who does qiam in Ramadan with faith and sincerity, all his/her sins will be forgiven".

Food Habits Tips during Ramadhan

This article provides useful advice on how to avoid some common problems encountered in Ramadhan. If followed, it would enable one to fast comfortably and enjoy fully the spiritual benefits of Ramadhan.

Come Ramadhan, our diet is radically altered. Our meals get condensed in mornings and evenings, with no intake in-between for an extended period of time. For some of us, the intake of oily foods skyrockets. These changes in diet aren't well received by everyone. Dr. Farouk Haffejee of the Islamic Medical Association of South Africa(Durban) has created a list of recommendations for dealing withRamadhan in a healthy fashion. They deal with common problemsencountered in Ramadhan.Dr. Haffejee suggests that in the month of Ramadhan, "our diet shouldnot differ very much from our normal diet and should be as simple aspossible." He says that our diet should maintain our normal weight,although he does mention that if one is over-weight, Ramadhan is agood time to shed some pounds. He also recommends foods that last longer. "In view of the long hours of fasting, we should consume slowdigesting foods including fibre containing-foods rather thanfast-digesting foods. Slow digesting foods last up to 8 hours, whilefast-digesting foods last for only 3 to 4 hours," writes Dr. Haffejee.Slow-digesting foods are foods that contain grains and seeds such asbarley, wheat, oats, semolina, beans, lentils, wholemeal flour, andunpolished rice. These are called complex carbohydrates.Fast-burning foods are foods that contain ingredients such as sugarand white flour. They are called refined carbohydrates. According to Dr. Haffejee, whole wheat, grains, seeds, vegetables(like green beans, peas, and spinach), fruit with skin, dried fruit(such as dried apricots, figs, prunes, and almonds) are all examplesof fibre-containing foods. Dr. Haffejee says that meals in Ramadhan should be well-balanced, and they should contain foods from each food group, such as fruits,vegetables, meat/chicken/fish, bread/cereals and dairy products. He discourages fried foods that some of us are addicted to. "Fried foods are unhealthy and should be limited. They causeindigestion, heart-burn, and weight problems," Dr. Haffejee points out.

Below are Dr. Haffejee's recommendations for a Ramadhan diet:

AVOID: Fried and fatty foods. Foods containing too much sugar. Over-eating especially at suhoor. Too much tea at suhoor: Tea makes you pass more urine taking with itvaluable mineral salts that your body would need during the day. Smoking cigarettes: If you cannot give up smoking, cut down graduallystarting a few weeks before Ramadhan. Smoking is unhealthy and one should stop completely.

EAT: Complex carbohydrates at suhoor so that the food lasts longer makingyou less hungry. Dates are excellent source of sugar, fibre, carbohydrates, potassiumand magnesium. Almonds are rich in protein and fibre with less fat. Bananas are a good source of potassium, magnesium and carbohydrates.

DRINK: As much water or fruit juices as possible between iftar and bedtime so that your body may adjust fluid levels in time. Below, Dr. Haffejee has listed common health issues faced in Ramadhan, their causes, and their remedies:

CONSTIPATION

Constipation can cause piles (haemorrhoids), fissures (painful cracksin anal canal) and indigestion with a bloated feeling. Causes: Too much refined foods, too little water and not enough fibrein the diet. Remedy: Avoid excessive refined foods, increase water intake, use bran in baking and brown flour when making flatbread.

INDIGESTION AND WIND

Causes: Over-eating. Too many fried and fatty foods, spicy foods, andfoods that produce wind e.g. eggs, cabbage, lentils. Carbonated drinks like Cola also produce gas. Remedy: Do not over-eat, drink fruit juices or better still, drinkwater. Avoid fried foods, add ajmor to wind-producing foods.

lethargy(low blood pressure)

('low blood pressure') Excessive sweating, weakness, tiredness, lack of energy, dizziness,especially on getting up from sitting position, pale appearance andfeeling faint are symptoms associated with "low blood pressure". Thistends to occur towards the afternoon. Causes: Too little fluid intake, decreased salt intake. Remedy: Keep cool, increase fluid and salt intake. Caution: Low blood pressure should be confirmed by taking a bloodpressure reading when symptoms are present. Persons with high blood pressure may need their medication adjusted during Ramadhan. They should consult their doctor.

HEADACHE

Causes: Caffeine and tobacco-withdrawal, doing too much in one day, lack of sleep, and hunger. Usually occur as the day goes by andworsens at the end of the day. When associated with "low bloodpressure", the headache can be quite severe and can also cause nausea before Iftar. Remedy: Cut down caffeine and tobacco slowly starting a week or twobefore Ramadhan. Herbal and caffeine-free teas may be substituted.Reorganise your schedule during the Ramadan to have adequate sleep.

LOW BLOOD SUGAR

Weakness, dizziness, tiredness, poor concentration, perspiring easily,feeling shaky (tremor), unable to perform physical activities,headache, palpitations are symptoms of low blood sugar. Causes (in non-diabetics): Having too much sugar i.e. refinedcarbohydrates especially at suhoor. The body produces too much insulin causing the blood glucose to drop. Remedy: Eat something at suhoor and limit sugar-containing foods and drinks. Caution: Diabetics may need to adjust their medication in Ramadhan.Consult your doctor.

MUSCLE CRAMPS

Causes: Inadequate intake of calcium, magnesium and potassium foods. Remedy: Eat foods rich in the above minerals e.g. vegetables, fruit,dairy products, meat and dates. Caution: Those on high blood pressure medication and with kidney stone problems should consult their doctor.

PEPTIC ULCERS, HEART BURN, GASTRITIS AND HIATUS HERNIA

Increased acid levels in the empty stomach in Ramadhan aggravate the above conditions. It presents a burning feeling in the stomach areaunder the ribs and can extend up to the throat. Spicy foods, coffee,and Cola drinks worsen these conditions. Medications are available to control acid levels in the stomach.People with proven peptic ulcers and hiatus hernia should consulttheir doctor well before Ramadhan.

KIDNEY STONES

Kidney stones may occur in people who have less liquids to drink.Therefore, it is essential to drink extra liquids to prevent stoneformation.

JOINT PAINS

Causes: During Ramadhan, when extra Salah are performed, the pressure on the knee joints increases. In the elderly and those with arthritis, this may result in pain, stiffness, swelling and discomfort. Remedy: Lose weight so that the knees do not have to carry any extraload. Exercise the lower limbs before Ramadhan so that they can beprepared for the additional strain. Being physically fit allowsgreater fulfillment, thus enabling one to be able to perform Salah withease.

The Great Virtue of Ramadhan

The great virtue of Ramadhan

The following khutbah was given at the Prophet's Mosque on the 5th of Ramadhan 1421H.

All praise is due to Allah, Who has made the succession of day and night a lesson for those who reflect. I thank him for his bountiful blessings and I testify that there is no deity worthy of worship except Allah. I equally testify that Muhammad is His servant and messenger. May the peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, his household and companions who are the people of righteousness and piety.
Dear brothers, fear Allah as He should be feared. Whoever fears Him earns his protection and he who follows his desires is doomed. It should be known that physical and spiritual felicity can only be attained by subjecting one's heart and body to the worship of Allah, and that it is through worshipping Allah with complete sincerity that this mundane world becomes of no importance.
Dear brothers, it is a manifestation of Allah's mercy towards His slaves that He ordained fasting for them in order to purify them from excessive tastes and to cleanse their hearts from lustful things. These days, Muslims all over the world are receiving the month of Ramadhan; leader of all months; the month of forgiveness, merits and gifts; the month that gladdens the hearts of righteous people. No wonder that a pious man said on his death bed, giving a reason for his weeping, “I am only weeping for the fact that people will continue to be fasting and performing prayers after my death while I will no longer be in a position to do likewise.”
Ramadhan is the month that contains the leader of all nights; a night that is better than a thousand months. Whoever spends the night in prayer with faith and hoping for Allah's reward will have all his past sins forgiven. The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said, “When the month of Ramadhan begins, the gates of Paradise are opened, the gates of Hell are closed and the devils are chained.” [Reported by Bukhari and Muslim]
Dear brothers, whoever wants eternal prosperity should endeavour to worship Allah and do good deeds sincerely. For good deeds done without a sincere intention are of no use. Also, it is a glory for a believer to wake up in the night and perform prayers, for the best prayer after the obligatory ones are the prayers performed in the night. In fact, righteous people compete with one other to make use of its darkness for doing acts of ibadah that bring them closer to Allah, and they loved this world only because of its nights. Abu Sulayman Ad-Daranee said, “By Allah! If not because of waking up in the night and performing prayers, I would not have loved this world; for, the night is precious because of its darkness and performing the prayers during the night is one of the characteristics of righteous people.” Al-Hasan Al-Basree said, “Nobody abandons night prayers except that it is regarded as a punishment for a sin he has committed.”
You should also endeavour to supplicate to Allah during the nights of this noble month because supplication is the link between man and his Lord; it is an effortlessly clear profit and easy booty; it prevents calamities and brings forth Allah's treasures and bounties. By supplicating to Allah during the night, He answers by granting the request asked for. His Hands never get tired of giving.

Dear Muslims,

the Qur'an is Allah's message to His servants and a light for mankind. There is no way to Allah's pleasure except through it. It is revealed in the best of all months. The best way you can spend your time during this month is to recite the Qur'an as frequently as possible. Read it, reflect on its meaning and work by its injunctions. This is because the Qur'an contains admonitions and lessons that increase one's humility and humbleness.
As regards charity, the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) was the most generous of all people and his generosity manifested itself most during the month of Ramadhan. Whenever he gave, he gave in plenty, as if he had no fear of poverty. He would never be asked of anything except that he gave it, unless he did not have it.
Charity, dear brothers, has its positive effects on the giver. It brings blessings to his wealth and children, prevents calamities and brings forth bliss. Ramadhan is a month of charity. Spend out of your wealth on the poor and needy and be aware that avarice and stinginess does not keep wealth eternal, just as charity does not decrease it. Ibn al-Qayyim said, “Nothing brings Allah's blessings and prevents His punishment than obeying Him, moving closer to Him through acts of ibadah and being kind to His creatures.”
Therefore, spend in charity, for charity elevates one's rank in front of Allah; and know that man is going to be under the shade of his charity on the Day of Resurrection.
Dear brothers, make good preparation for this honourable month because it is a transient visitor. Receive it with a sincere repentance and spend your time during the month is acts of obedience to your Lord.
Further, try to perform umrah during Ramadhan for an umrah performed during Ramadhan is equivalent in reward to a hajj performed with the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him). Also, provide food for fasting Muslims, for whoever does that gets a reward equivalent to their reward without causing any reduction in the reward of the fasting Muslims.
Itikaf (seclusion in a mosque for the purpose of worshipping Allah alone) is also a Sunnah that should be kept during the last ten days of Ramadhan. Ibn Shihab said, “It is a strange thing that Muslims should abandon itikaf while the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) never skipped it right from the time he entered Madina until his death.”
Use this noble month to join the cord of kinship (by keeping good relations with your kith and kin). Also repent sincerely to Allah as long as the door of repentance is still open. Be cautious of an undesirable end because leaving this world is painful.

Abdul Muhsin ibn Muhammad al-Qasim

blessing of Ramadhan

Blessings of Ramadan

All praise is to Allah, Whom we thank and seek for His help and forgiveness. We seek refuge in Allah from the evils of ourselves and the burden of our evil deeds. Whomsoever He guides, will never be misled, and whomsoever He misguides, will never find enlightenment. I testify that there is none worthy of worship except Allah, and that Mohammad is His slave and Messenger.
Allah said, what translated means, "O you who believe! Fear Allah as He should be feared, and die not except in a state of Islam" [3:102], also, "Mankind! Be dutiful to your Lord, Who created you from a single person (Adam), and from him (Adam) He created his wife (Eve), and from them both He created many men and women and fear Allah through whom you demand your mutual (rights), and (do not cut the relations) of the wombs (kinship)! Surely, Allah is Ever an All- Watcher over you." [4:1] and, "O you who believe! Keep your duty to Allah and fear Him, and speak (always) the Truth." [33:70].

The best of speech is the Book of Allah, and the best of guidance is the guidance sent with Mohammad - peace be upon him. The worst of matters are Bid'ahs (innovations in the religion), every Bid'ah is a Dhalalah [misguidance], and every Dhalalah is in the Hellfire.

Dear Muslim Sisters!
We are hosting soon inshaa'a Allah a unique, a generous and a honorable guest. A guest that visits us once a year and brings with it all sorts of goodness and happiness. A guest that brings with it the wide Mercy and Forgiveness of Allah. A guest that brings with it a smell of Paradise. A guest that makes the believer closer to Allah and His Paradise and away from Shaytan and Hell Fire. It is Ramadhan, the month of the Qur'an, the month of Mercy, the month of Forgiveness, the month of prayer at night and Suhoor, the month of solidarity and mutual help, the month of all blessings. We are advised in our merciful religion of Islam to be kind and generous towards the guest, so what if the guest is the best of guests over the year? we should exert ourselves in generosity which is in this case good behavior and intense worship.
It is from the immense mercy of Allah upon us that He made us Muslims and believers and that He extended our lives till we reached this Ramadan. It is reported from some of the Salaf (Muslims of the first three centuries of Islam that the Messenger of Allah, salla Allahu alaihi wa sallam, praised in the well known famous hadith) that they used to pray to Allah during the six months before Ramadan to extend their lives so that they can fast Ramadan, and in the 6 months after Ramadan they would ask Allah to accept their fasting of Ramadan.

Therefore, we have to be thankful to Allah that He allowed us to witness this Ramadan, so let us please Him during this month.

Why do we fast ?

It is from the nature of humans to ask and to wonder why they do things. Muslims do things to please Allah, and they can please Allah only by obeying Him and practicing His religion.
Allah says in the meaning of : "O you who believe, fasting has been prescribed for you as it has been prescribed for people before you so that you will (learn how to) attain Taqwa" (Qur'an, al-Baqarah, 2:183)
Ibn 'Umar reports that Allah's Messenger said: Islam is based on (the following) five (principles):
To testify that none has the right to be worshiped but Allah and Muhammad is Allah's Messenger.
To offer the (compulsory congregational) prayers dutifully and perfectly.
To pay Zakat (i.e. obligatory charity) .
To perform Hajj. (i.e. Pilgrimage to Mecca)
To observe fast during the month of Ramadan. [Bukhari]

Abu Huraira narrates that one day while Allah's Messenger was sitting with the people, a man came to him walking and said, "O Allah's Messenger. What is Belief?" The Prophet said, "Belief is to believe in Allah, His Angels, His Books, His Apostles, and the meeting with Him, and to believe in the Resurrection." The man asked, "O Allah's Apostle What is Islam?" The Prophet replied, "Islam is to worship Allah and not worship anything besides Him, to offer prayers perfectly, to pay the (compulsory) charity i.e. Zakat and to fast the month of Ramadan." [The narration of Muslim has Hajj as well]. The man again asked, "O Allah's Apostle What is Ihsan (i.e.. perfection or Benevolence)? The Prophet said, "Ihsan is to worship Allah as if you see Him, and if you do not achieve this state of devotion, then (take it for granted that) Allah sees you." .... Then the man left. The Prophet said, "Call him back to me." They went to call him back but could not see him. The Prophet said, "That was Jibreel (Gabriel) who came to teach the people their religion." [Bukhari]. (Note that there are other narrations of this hadith, I took here one from Bukhari)

Since Islam means submission to Allah, we have no other choice but to submit ourselves to Allah and obey His commandments. It is from the mercy of Allah towards us that while He prescribed on us fasting He also showed us the greatness of fasting in this world and in the hereafter to make it beloved to us.

He was not intimidated when outnumbered in battle, nor did he turn away from his duties in protecting and defending the truth and freedom.

W-Wonderful.He's the most wonderful creation of ALLAH in the entire universe

X. "X" - Muhammad, peace be upon him, could neither read nor write, not even his own name. In today's world he would have to use an "X" to "sign" a document. He used a signet ring worn on the little finger of his right hand to seal any documents or letters sent to the leaders of other lands.

Y. Yielding - Muhammad, peace be upon him, would yield his own desires and forego his own ideas in favor of whatever Allah directed him to do. While considering opinions from his followers, he often accepted their ideas over his own, preferring to yield in favor of others as much as possible.

Z. Zealous - Muhammad, peace be upon him, was the most zealous of all the prophets of Allah, in carrying out his mission of "Peace through the submission to the Will of God." He truly was the most enthusiastic in regard to delivering the message with which he had been entrusted by Allah; the message of "Laa elaha illa-allah, Muhammadar-Rasoolulah"

(There is none worthy of worship, except Allah and Muhammad is the messenger of Allah).Alief. "AJEEB" (AMAZING) - We couldn't resist the chance for one more letter - even if it is the first letter of the Arabic alphabet ("" alief). Muhammad was truly amazing in every respect. He deliverd a message of a complete and total way of life, encompassing everything from the time a person wakes up until time to sleep and from the cradle to the grave. And if someone were to follow this Way of Life ("deen" in Arabic), they would achieve the greatest success here in this life and the greatest success in the Next Life as well.

forgive me ALLAH

Ya Allah, Forgive
MeToday

upon a bus

I saw a girl with golden hair.

and wished I was as fair.

When
suddenly she rose to leave,

I saw her hobble down the aisle.

She had one leg and
wore a crutch.

But as she passed, a smile.

Ya Allah, forgive me when I whine.
i have 2 legs, the world is mine.

I stopped to buy some candy.

The lad who sold it
had such charm.

I talked with him, he seemed so glad.

If I were late,

it'd do no
harm.

And as I left, he said to me,

"I thank you, you've been so kind."

"It's nice
to talk with folks like you.

You see," he said,

"I'm blind."

Ya Allah, forgive me
when I whine.

I have 2 eyes, the world is mine.

Later while walking down the
street,

I saw a child with eyes of blue.

He stood and watched the others play.

He
did not know what to do.

I stopped a moment and then I said,

"Why don't you join
the others, dear?

"He looked ahead without a word.

And then I knew, he couldn't
hear.

Ya Allah, forgive me when I whine.I have 2 ears, the world is mine.

With
feet to take me where I'd go.

With eyes to see the sunset's glow.

With ears to

Here is a short story with a beautiful message.
Little girl and her father were crossing a bridge.
The father was kind of scared so he asked his little daughter, "Sweetheart, please hold my hand so that you don't fall into the river.

"Hold the hand of the person who loves you rather than expecting them to hold yours...
This message is too short......but carries a lot of Feelings.
