[center] ‎  Prophet SAW said :
"Temptations are presented to hearts in the same way as a reed mat is woven, stick by stick.
Any heart which is saturated by them will receive a black mark,
whereas any heart that rejects them will have a white mark put on it.
The result is that there will be two types of hearts:
a black and dusty heart, which is like an uneven vessel that neither recognizes good nor rejects evil, except what is impregnated into it of desires; and
a white heart that will never be harmed by any temptation, as long as there are heavens and the earth."

Jazakumullahu Khairan.

In todays friday sermon the imam said that,
the day of Arafah (Dhul Hijjah 9th) is very sacred. It is on this day Adam (allaihisalaam) and Hawwa met after being expelled from heaven. Fasting on this day has immense blessings. It is said that if a person fasts on the day of Arafa (Dhul Hijjah 9th) , Allah will forgive all his small sins of the past year and the next year. (people who are performing hajj are excluded from fasting).

Anybody with me, ?

Lagosboy:
With wet eyes i write this because i just dashed in on NL to see how the section is going n donly to see this thread by chance.

I am very grateful to all for your duas and support messages. I do appreciate it and may Allah in his infinite mercies have mercy on his soul and bless him, grant him forgiveness and expiate his sins by mercy.

I was very close to him, he prayed jumah on friday, joked with people at the masjid , the imam said he gave some sadaqah to the masjid, and he saw he giving sadaqah to the less privileged. He died later that evening friday after asr and before maghrib.

May Allah expand his grave , illuminate it and grant him wonderful and blessed companions in the grave.

Jazakallah khair to all and may Allah forgive all the dead muslims

Ameen



Dying on a Friday “Whoever dies on a Friday, Allah prevents him from the grave trial” (Ahmed and Tu[color=#000099][/color]rmithi)

Abu Hurairah relates that the Messenger of Allah (pbuh) said,
"There are no days more loved to Allah for you to worship Him therein than the tendays of Dhul Hijjah.
Fasting [/b]any day during it is equivalent to fasting one year
and to offer [b]salatul tahajjud (late-night prayer) during one of,  its nights is like performing the late night prayer on the night of
power. [i.e.Lailatul Qadr]."
[at-Tirmidhi]


   There is no doubt about the Holiness of the month of Dhul Hijjah. It is the month in which millions of muslims perform Hajj. This year Dhul Hijjah will start on[b] Nov 7th[/b] (will be one day earlier or later in different places, please confirm with your local mosque). Thanks to the Ramadan thread we all got the motivation and knowledge to do Ibadah. Every time one read that thread one feels like doin more prayers and recite the Quran more. Also learnt many new Dikrs and ways of Ibadah. But the question is How many of us are still doing Ibadah in the same energy and frequency we did in the month of Ramadan

  So Brothers and sisters lets try together to rejuvenate our Faith in the upcoming Holy month of Dhul Hijjah, especially the 1st Ten days. Lets try to do more Ibadah in whatever way we can:-
1. Fasting, or
2. Praying Tahajjud at night, or
3. Reciting Quran more frequently and for longer duration, or
4. Atleast increasing the number of Dikhrs daily. or
5. Giving more sadaqa(charity).

   We all have our time constraints and limitations but lets try to do more of any kind of Ibadah (atleast Dikhr).  Who is with me, ?

May Allah give all of us the blessing to perform Hajj in our life time,
Millions of muslims are going to perform Hajj this year, Allah please protect them, give them good health, accept their Hajj and forgive all their sins.
Ameen.

Inna lillahi wa inna ilaihi rajioon.

Jarus:
Done.

Thanx a lot : )

@Experts
Very well said, but dont reply to such ppl and turn this into a discussion, because
its not out of their ignorance they speak but for the mere want of making trouble.
So try to ignore them.

Please look into this thread Qur’anic Verse Of The Day (Page 4) https://www.nairaland.com/nigeria/topic-448175.96.html
Please dont let anyone derail that thread. Kindly delete the recent post.

Inna lillah wa inna ilaihi rajiun.
May Allah forgive all his sins, save him from punishment in the grave and give him paradise. Ameen.

Brothers lets not turn this into an argument. I do agree there are lots of 'scholars' who mislead people, But lets not insult anybody.
May Allah guide us in the right path and save us from being misled by such people. Ameen.


[center] And hold fast, all together, by the rope which God (stretches out for you), and
be not divided among yourselves;
and remember with gratitude God's favour on you;
for ye were enemies and He joined your hearts in love, so that by His Grace, ye became brethren;
and ye were on the brink of the pit of Fire, and He saved you from it.
Thus doth God make His Signs clear to you: That ye may be guided. 
Quran (3:103)[/center]

[center] Be sure We shall test you with something of fear and hunger, some loss in goods, lives and the fruits (of your toil),
but give glad tidings to those who patiently persevere.― Who say, when afflicted with calamity:
Inna Lilahi Wa inna Ilaihi raji'oon. "To Allah we belong and to Him is our return."
They are those on whom (descend) blessings,  from their Lord and Mercy and they are the ones that receive guidance."
[The Qur'an 2:155-157][/center]


Simple meaning, when afflicted with any kind of troubles, say: Inna Lilahi Wa inna Ilaihi raji'oon. (To Allah we belong and to Him is our return.) and we will be blessed by Allah.

Allaahuakbar, Yes indeed after iqama, we all organise into rows very quickly however big the gathering is. I ve never been to Masjidul Haram. Inshallah one day i (and you all) will go for Hajj.

A Dua is best answered by Allah when we do not show haste in it. I know its better said than done but Be patient brother, its worth it. And continue making dua and Ibadah, Inshallah you ll get what you wish for. Never loose hope, Allah is our creator and sustainer, he is the only one who can help us.

[center]Narrated Hudhaifa:
When the Prophet went to bed at night, he would put his hand under his cheek and then say,
"Allahumma bismika amutu wa ahya," and
when[i] he got up[/i], he would say,
"Al-Hamdu lil-lahi al-ladhi ahyana ba'da ma amatana, wa ilaihi an-nushur."
(bukhari 75:326)[/center]

If u continue replying every post then u wont achieve that aim of the thread.

Absolutely right, !

Inshallah!

Islam is the religion, and
Muslim is the one who follows the religion Islam.

Ameen.

We should give more importance to small good deeds like this. We all tend to neglect these.

Short temper

A person may complain: “I get very angry very quickly. If there is the slightest provocation, I quickly explode and start to break things, swear, curse and issue threats of divorce. This problem has caused me so much embarrassment, and has made most people hate me, even my wife and children and closest friends. What can I do to rid myself of this awful disease and extinguish this devilish fire?”

Anger is a tendency that comes from the Shaytaan. Only Allaah knows how much evil and sin results from it. Hence Islam has a great deal to say about this negative characteristic and the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) described remedies for ridding oneself of this problem and limiting its effects. These include the following:

Seeking refuge with Allaah from the Shaytaan. Sulaymaan ibn Sard said: “I was sitting with the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him), and there were two men swearing at one another. One of them was red in the face and the veins of his neck were standing out. The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said: ‘I know a word which, if only he would say it, this [anger] would leave him. If he said, “A’oodhu billaahi min al-shaytaan (I seek refuge with Allaah from the Shaytaan),”, this [anger] would leave him.’” (Reported by al-Bukhaari, al-Fath, 6/377). [/i]He (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) also said: “If a man gets angry and says ‘A’oodhu billaah (I seek refuge with Allaah),’ his anger will cease.” [i](Saheeh al-Jaami’ al-Sagheer, no. 695).

Keeping quiet. The Messenger (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said: “If any one of you gets angry, let him keep quiet.” (Reported by Imaam Ahmad, al-Musnad, 1/239; Saheeh al-Jaami’, 693, 4027). Anger usually makes a person lose control, often to the extent that he may utter words of kufr (Allaah forbid), or curses, or the word of divorce (talaaq) which will destroy his family, or foul language that will earn him the enmity of others. Keeping quiet is the way to avoid all of these evils.

Keeping still. The Messenger of Allaah (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said: “If any one of you gets angry, let him sit down if he is standing. If his anger goes away, (that is good), otherwise let him lie down.”

The narrator of this hadeeth was Abu Dharr (may Allaah be pleased with him), who told the following story: he was watering his animals at a trough, when some other people came along. He said, “Who among you will help Abu Dharr to water his animals and , ?” A man said, “I will,” but he broke the trough. Abu Dharr was standing, so he sat down, then he lay down. Someone asked him, “O Abu Dharr, why did you sit down then lie down?” He said, “Because the Messenger of Allaah (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said … [and quoted the hadeeth].” (The hadeeth with the whole story is reported in Musnad Ahmad, 5/152. See also Saheeh al-Jaami’, no. 694).

According to another report, Abu Dharr was watering his animals at a trough when another man made him angry, so he sat down… (Fayd al-Qadeer al-Mannaawi, 1/408).

One of the benefits of this Prophetic teaching is that it prevents the angry person from doing something crazy and out of control. An angry person could inflict harm or even kill – as we shall see shortly – or he could destroy property and so on. Sitting down makes it less likely that he will explode in this fashion, and lying down makes it even less likely that he will do something reckless or harmful. Al-‘Allaamah al-Khattaabi (may Allaah have mercy on him) said in his commentary on Abu Dawood: “The one who is standing is ready to move and destroy things. The one who is sitting is less likely to do so, and the one who is lying is not able to do anything of the sort. It seems that the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) commanded the angry person to sit down or lie down in order to prevent him from doing anything that he would later regret. And Allaah knows best.” (Sunan Abi Dawood wa ma’ahu ma’aalim al-sunan, 5/141)

Remembering the advice of the Messenger of Allaah (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him). Abu Hurayrah (may Allaah be pleased with him) reported that a man came to the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) and said: “Advise me.” He said: “Do not become angry.” The man repeated his request several times, and each time the response was, “Do not become angry.” (Reported by al-Bukhaari, Fath al-Baari, 10/465).

According to another report, the man said, “I thought about what the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) had said, and I realized that anger is the source of all evil.” (Musnad Ahmad, 5/373).

“Do not get angry, and Paradise will be yours.” (A saheeh hadeeth. Saheeh al-Jaami’, 7374, Ibn Hajar attributed it)
