Spend Spend Spend*

This is the Book about which there is no doubt, a guidance for those conscious of Allah -Who believe in the unseen, establish prayer, and spend out of what We have provided for them, [2:1-2]

 and spend out of that in which He has made you successors. For those who have believed among you and spent, there will be a great reward. [57:7]

 Who is it that would loan Allah a goodly loan so He will multiply it for him and he will have a noble reward? [57:11]

 "Do not withold your money or else Allah will withold His blessings from you. Spend in (Allah's cause) as much as you can." [Sahih Bukhari]

*In Allah's cause. :) 

Ye khaki apni fitrat mein na noori hai na naari hai.

    Greetings,

    The Kitab al-futuwwah refers to "heroic generosity" being that giving which is always giving, never seeking anything in return, and knowing, in the end, that all giving comes from one Giver, the Provider of everything.

    This is a very nice post. So brief, and yet so full of meaning.

    Thank you for this.

    All good wishes,

    robert

SALAHUDDIN AL-AYUBI (The Liberator Of Jerusalem) -I

by Dr. Mahmoud Esmail Sieny " The answer to an ill-deed is an ill-deed or the like thereof. But whosoever pardoneth and amendeth his reward is with Allaah. Surely, He does not love wrong doers." (Al Quran 42:40) History tells us that when Sultan Salahuddin regained Jerusalem from the invading and ruthless Crusaders, who had ninety years earlier massacred and savagely treated its Muslim and Jewish inhabitants, he met a group of Latin Christian women who addressed him, "O Sultan! You see that we are leaving. Among us are mothers, wives, daughters or sisters to the soldiers in captivity with you. These men are our support in life, and if we lose them we will lose everything. But if you leave them for our sake, you will be giving us back our lives." At this our hero Salahuddin smiled and he gave orders that the sons and husbands of those women were to be set free. He went even further and gave money to the women whose supporters were killed in the battle. An irate Frenc

Something different yet so Beautiful

By -
In today's world, different things can happen and people can ask different things. The result from them might be something enormous and beautiful.  I will write down a small conversation that I read somewhere. A: Don't we see that all natural processes take place on time? Has sun ever said that today I cannot rise because I do not feel like or I am tired of monotony? No, it never has. But, yes once it did not rise on time. Yes, there is one incident in history when sun did not rise on its prescribed timings. Can anybody tell me that? B: The day Hazrat Bilal Habshi Radi Allah u 'Anhu did not give  azaan.  Allah SWT did not make the sun rise until Hazrat Bilal Radi Allhu 'Anhu called for  fajar  prayers.  I was familiar with the incident. But the comment that followed was something that I was not familiar with. Something that I knew, but I knew not. 'A' said:  "Taqwa kaainaat ko musakhhar karne ki quwwat rakhat hai" Beautiful :) Credit:  ht

REASON OF EXISTENCE

By -
It so happens that we enter a room for a purpose but the moment we enter, we forget why we came altogether. Then in this brief period our attention diverts to some other task and we get engross in it. And after considerable time we suddenly remember the real task and we have a chance to complete it. The world is like that room, we entered in it with a purpose but we got distracted. before our time comes, we must do something about it or else, we'll be in " khasara" greatest loss after which there is no going back. So what we need to do is be attentive all the time. Keep your purpose in your mind. I know that this is difficult. Allah said so himself that life of a momin is difficult. there's a hadis, I cant remember the exact words the excerpt is: "The path to heaven is filled with thorns and the way to hell is laden with flowers." And that: " The world for a believer is like a prison" So now we are clear about our life and our destiny. both are
