Respect For Hadis

In our hadis class we were studying following hadis: عن ابن مسعود رضي الله عنه عن النبي قال "ان الصدق يهدئ الى البر وان البر يهدى الى الجنة - وان الرجل ليصدق حتى يكتب عندالله صديقا- وان الكذب يهدي الى الفجور- وان الفجور يهدى النار- و انالرجل ليكذب حتى يكتب عندالله كذابا (متفق اليه 'Verily, truth leads to good and verily good leads to jannah. And verily, a man speaks truth until he is written as honest in Allah's book. And verily lie leads to bad. and verily bad leads to fire. And a man lies until he is written a liar, in Allah's book." We were learning it with word to word translation from Arabic to Urdu and you can see its small with a lot of words shared from Urdu। A class-fellow said, 'miss its so easy। We've learnt it already.' and what did our teacher say? She said, "Its easy to learn it but how much easy it is to act upon it?" And really, we are so low that we learn even these things to just pass the exam with flying colors. It is just ...

FIRST TEN DAYS OF DHIL-HIJJAH lets be productive

In the name of Allah, All praises be to Allah, All Prayers and Blessings of Allah be upon Prophet Muhammad, his family and companions. Selection is one of Allah's enactments in this universe. Allah (SWT ) selected some prophets, angels, months and days to be better than others. For example, Allah (SWT) selected the first ten days of Dhul-Hijjah to be better than any other days. Let us know their virtues and the best righteous deeds we can do during them. Their virtues mentioned in the Qur'an and Sunnah 1) Allah (SWT) says in the Noble Qur'an what can be translated as: "And (by) the dawn and (by) the ten nights ." (TMQ , Surat al-Fajr 1-2) Their virtues mentioned in ahadith Ibn-Kathir said: "The ten nights are the first ten nights of Dhul-Hijjah as stated by Ibn-Abbas, Ibn-al-Zubair, Mujahid, and many others scholars, both past and present." 2) Ibn-Abbas reported that the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH ) said, "No good deeds done on other d...

Against Reciprocation

"Oftentimes I lose the chance of doing a bhalai (goodness) because I am following the crowd. I reciprocate the deeds, their behavior towards me. I forget that there's a difference between me and them. Whatever they do, they will reap it. And I will reap my own deeds." "لَهَ ا مَا كَسَبَتْ وَلَكُم مَّا كَسَبْتُمْ ۖ وَلَا تُسْأَلُونَ عَمَّا كَانُوا يَعْمَلُونَ" "It will have [the consequence of] what it earned, and you will have what you have earned. And you will not be asked about what they used to do." Al-Baqarah:141 Why is there any need to mirror others actions then? It is said that: "Do not ever lose the chance of doing bhalai even the smallest one" We should avail every chance of it. Like we rush towards those 50% and 70% off neon signs? Exactly! سَابِقُوا إِلَىٰ مَغْفِرَةٍ مِّن رَّبِّكُمْ وَجَنَّةٍ عَرْضُهَا كَعَرْضِ السَّمَاءِ وَالْأَرْضِ أُعِدَّتْ لِلَّذِينَ آمَنُوا بِاللَّـهِ وَرُسُلِهِ ۚ ذَٰلِكَ فَضْلُ اللَّـهِ يُؤْتِيهِ مَن يَشَاءُ ...
