Hadith - Bukhari's Book of Manners #329
, Ibn 'Abbas said,
"If you wish to mention the faults of your friend, mention your own faults first."

SubhanAllah. This is a very good post, one should definitely read this. Very relevant issue nowadays, we tend to forget that we Muslims are one big family.

JazakAllahu Khairan.

JazakAllahu Khairan Bro,

May Allah make our intentions right and Make us all from the people of Jannah. Ameen.

[center]Prophet Muhammad  said:
“Whoever asks Allah for Paradise three times,
["Allahumma inni as’aluka al-jannah" = O Allah, I ask You for Paradise]
Paradise will say, ‘O Allah, admit him to Paradise.’
Whoever seeks protection from the Fire three times,
["Allahumma ajirni min al-naar" = O Allah, protect me from the Fire]
Hell will say, ‘O Allah, protect him from the Fire.’”

[Tirmidhi][/center]

Rasool Allah (saw) would tell Hazrat Bilal  to give Azaan in such beautiful words which shows the love for Salah that Rasool Allah(saw)  had.

"ارحنا بالصلاة يابلال"

"Give us comfort by Salah Ya Bilal"

And Rasool Allah (saw) said, The coolness of my eyes is in Salah,

"Your souls are precious, and can only be equal to the price of Paradise. Therefore, sell them only at that price. "
~ Ali ibn Abi Talib

"Go easy on yourself, for the outcome of all affairs is determined by Allah’s decree.
If something is meant to go elsewhere, it will never come your way, but if it is yours by destiny, from you it cannot flee."
– Umar ibn al-khattab radiallahu

Muslim Book 35, Number 6518:

Abu Huraira reported Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him) as saying:
"He who alleviates the suffering of a brothe[/b]r out of the sufferings of the world, Allah would alleviate his suffering from the sufferings of the Day of Resurrection,
and he who [b]finds relief for one who is hard pressed, Allah would make things easy for him in the Hereafter, and
he who conceals (the faults) of a Muslim, Allah would conceal his faults in the world and in the Hereafter.

Allah is at the back of a servant so long as the servant is at the back of his brother, and
he who treads the path in search of knowledge, Allah would make that path easy, leading to Paradise for him and
those persons who assemble in the house among the houses of Allah (mosques) [/b]and
[b]recite the Book of Allah and they learn and teach the Qur'an (among themselves)
there would descend upon them the tranquility and mercy would cover them and the angels would surround them and
Allah makes a mention of them in the presence of those near Him, and
he who is slow-paced in doing good deeds, his (high) descent does not make him go ahead. "

Our Prophet(saw) Has told us to fast in the sacred months but not completely.

The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said: “Fast some days of the sacred months [/b]and not others.”
Narrated by Abu Dawood, 2428;

[b]The Prophet(saw) has mentioned the four sacred months as: Dhul-Qa' da, Dhul-Hijja and Muharram, and Rajab

Narrated Abu Bakra: The Prophet said. "The division of time has turned to its original form which was current when Allah created the Heavens and the Earths. The year is of twelve months, out of which[b] four months are sacred[/b]: Three are in succession Dhul-Qa' da, Dhul-Hijja and Muharram, and (the fourth is) Rajab of (the tribe of) Mudar which comes between Jumadi-ath-Thaniyah and Sha ban."
Volume 4, Book 54, Number 419: Bukhari

Assalamualaikum bro.
The Scholars give opinions based on the Quran and sunnah. Imam Ghazzali who lived 100s of years ago is widely accepted by the modern Ulema that he is one of the best Islamic scholars. I highly doubt that He will mention some thing that is against the Quran or the Prophets Sunnah. Maybe you can ask about it to the local Ulema in your area, bro.

Anyways Ramadan i nearing, we should start preparing for it. Don't forget the dua i mentioned above bro.

miftaudeen:
@azharudin,can u show me hadith were pro(s.w.a)took a day break fast in rajab execpt 4rm mon,thur,13,14&15 of everymonth

This is what i heard in a Friday sermon from the Mosque. The Imam mentioned many classic scholars like Imam Ghazzali etc have this opinion, I do not know which hadith have they took the opinion from.

miftaudeen:
i was astounded while some muslim fast in all 30days of rajab without efidence from the qur'an and the kutubul hadith.

Assalamualaikum bro,

Rajab is a very sacred month. Fasting in it has big rewards. But scholars say one should not fast the whole of Rajab continously. Atleast one day break should be taken. Only month that one should fast 'completely' is Ramadan. Other than that we should try to increase our deeds in this month of Rajab and next month Sha'baan.

Dua of the Prophet (saw)

It is mentioned on the authority of Anas Bin Malik (May Allah be pleased with him) that when the Holy Prophet (saw) sighted the moon of Rajab, he used to pray to Allah in the following words,

https://i51.tinypic.com/2nir1vk.jpg
‘Allahuma Barik lana fi Rajaba wa Sha’bana wa ballighna Ramadhan’

“[B]O Allah, make the months of Rajab and Sha’ban blessed for us, and let us reach the month of Ramadan [/B].”

Bismillahir-rehmanir-raheem

[size=14pt]Isra and Miraj[/size]


رَبِّ اشْرَحْ لِي صَدْرِي وَيَسِّرْ لِي أَمْرِي وَاحْلُلْ عُقْدَةً مِنْ لِسَانِي يَفْقَهُوا قَوْلِي



Today the Imam mentions the importance of Salath. All revelations from Allah was send to our Beloved Prophet :saw: through Jibril (as). But for the Revelation of 5 Farz Salat, Allah :taala: invited the Prophet :saw: and revealed it to him directly on the night of Isra, Miraj. So we can imagine the importance of Salat. It was initially 50 times and it was decreased to 5 times with the intervention of Musa (as) in the 6 heaven. Our Beloved Prophet Muhammad :saw: went back and forth 9 times to reduce it to the current 5 salat. Hence the reward for the 5 prayers is equivalent to the reward of 50 prayers.

Also our Prophet :saw: was shown many types of punishments for various sins. Of that those who missed salat were punished by repeatedly smashing their heads with Heavy rocks.

He also mentioned the importance of Salawat(durood), and advised to increase reciting it.

He urged us to advise people who do not pray and tell them the importance of Salath and warn them about the punishment of missing it.

Law prince:
Dear brothers and sisters,
Here is an amazing formula for getting the first page of every JUZ' you intend searching for in the Qur'aan.

Let's say we intend knowing what page Juz' 9 falls for example.

Just follow this illustration carefully:

The Juz we intend knowing it's page is '9'
'1' will be deducted from 9= 8.
8 will further be multiplied by 2= 16.
The number '2' will there after be added to the right side of 16= 162.
That is simply the page of Juz nine (162). Try it out for other Juz's

Illustration:
9-1= 8
8*2=16
16+2=162

Jazakallahu Khairan bro.

Abu Umamah Al-Bahili (ra) narrated that a man came to Rasulullah :saw: and asked :
“What is the reward for a person who [B]fought in the path of Allah[/B], [B]seeking fame[/B] and [B]compensation[/B]?”
The Prophet :saw: said : [B]“There is no reward for him.”[/B]
The man repeated the question three times to Rasulullah:saw: .
Nabi :saw: replied : [B]“There is no reward for him.”[/B], and then
said : “Allah accepts those deeds which were performed [B]purely for His Sake[/B] and which were meant to seek His Pleasure.”

miftaudeen:
well done bro may ALLAH (s.w.a) increase you in knowledge.

Please make dua to Allah to forgive my sins.

May Allah make all of us enter Jannah. Ameen.
