Narrated Abu Said Al-Khudri: The Prophet said to his companions, "Is it difficult for any of you to recite one third of the Qur'an in one night?" This suggestion was difficult for them so they said, "Who among us has the power to do so, O Allah's Apostle?" Allah Apostle replied: " 'Allah (the) One, the Self-Sufficient Master Whom all creatures need.' (Surat Al-Ikhlas 112.1--to the End) is[b] equal to one third[/b] of the Qur'an." [Bukhari: Volume 6, Book 61, Number 534] |
"Patience means to keep close to Allah & to accept calmly the trials He sends, without complaining or feeling sad." [Amr ibn Uthman al-Makki] |
It is for Allah the Almighty to decide if a person will go to Heaven of Hell. We speculating about a persons intentions or fate is meaningless, Allah is the ultimate Judge, His Mercy precedes over his Wrath. Only Allah knows what a persons true intention is, So Allah alone knows our fate. May Allah the Most Merciful, Forgive us All. Ameen. |
Narrated Abu Huraira (Radi-Allahu 'anhu): The Prophet (Sallallahu 'Alaihi Wa Sallam) said, "The one who looks after a widow or a poor person is[b] like [/b] a Mujahid (warrior) who fights for Allah's Cause, or like him who[b] performs prayers all the night and fasts all the day[/b]." [Bukhari Vol 7 No 265] |

“A good deed [/b]brings [b]light to the heart, illumination to the face, strength to the body, increasing of livelihood & love in the hearts of people. On the contrary, an evil deed [/b]causes [b]darkness to the heart, dark shadows to the face, weakness in the body, lack [/b]of livelihood and [b]antipathy in people’s hearts." [ Ibn Abbas ] |
Rasulullah (SAW) said, “He who does not show mercy to our young [/b]or show [b]esteem for our elders is not one of us.” (Al-Bukhari) |
It was Abu Bakr ad-Daqqaq (may Allah bestow His mercy upon him) who said: "The shortcoming [/b]of everyone who tries to be sincere [mukhlis] in his sincere devotion, [b]is the tendency to admire his sincere devotion [ikhlas]. If Allah (Exalted is He) wishes to purify his sincere devotion [an yukhallisa ikhlasa-hu], He will therefore rid [/b]his sincerity of that [b]tendency to admire his sincere devotion, so he will then be a mukhallas [one who has been made sincere through purification], rather than a mukhlis [one who [b]tries [/b]to be sincere]." |
Narrated Abu Huraira (Radi Allah Anhu): One day while the Prophet (sal-allahu-alleihi-wasallam) was sitting in the company of some people, (The angel) Gabriel came and asked: "What is faith?" Allah's Apostle (sal-allahu-alleihi-wasallam) replied, 'Faith is to believe in Allah, His angels, (the) meeting with Him, His Apostles, and to believe in Resurrection." Then he further asked, "What is Islam?" Allah's Apostle (sal-allahu-alleihi-wasallam) replied, "To worship Allah Alone and none else, to offer prayers perfectly to pay the compulsory charity (Zakat) and to observe fasts during the month of Ramadan." Then he further asked, "What is Ihsan (perfection)?" Allah's Apostle (sal-allahu-alleihi-wasallam) replied, "To worship Allah as if you see Him, and if you cannot achieve this state of devotion then you must consider that He is looking at you." Then he further asked, "When will the Hour be established?" Allah's Apostle (sal-allahu-alleihi-wasallam) replied, "T[i]he answerer has no better knowledge than the questioner. But I will inform you about its portents. When a slave (lady) gives birth to her master. When the shepherds of black camels start boasting and competing with others in the construction of higher buildings. And the Hour is one of five things which nobody knows except Allah. "[/i] The Prophet then recited: "Verily, with Allah (Alone) is the knowledge of the Hour--." (31. 34) Then that man (Gabriel) left and the Prophet (sal-allahu-alleihi-wasallam) asked his companions to call him back, but they could not see him. Then the Prophet (sal-allahu-alleihi-wasallam) said, "That was Gabriel who came to teach the people their religion." Abu 'Abdullah said: He (the Prophet) considered all that as a part of faith. [Sahih Al-Bukhari : Volume 1, Book 2, Number 47] |
''When evening comes, do not expect (to live till) morning, and when morning comes, do not expect (to live till) evening. Take from your health (a preparation) for your[b] illness[/b], and from your[b] life[/b] for your[b] death[/b]'' - Ibn Umar |
A man came to the Prophet (saw) and said, ‘O Messenger of God! Who among the people is the most worthy of my good companionship?' The Prophet (saw) said: 'Your mother.' The man said, ‘Then who?'

“Whoever wants to have everlasting peace and well-being with no affliction does not understand the meaning of Allah’s commandments, nor does he perceive the meaning of submission to Allah. Every soul (either believing or disbelieving) shall[b] inevitably taste suffering[/b] in this world, for this life is based on hardships. Man lives between comfort and suffering.” [Imam Ibn al-Jawzi] |
Sayyidina Uqbah ibn Aamir (RA) reported having asked, “O Messenger of Allah how to get salvation?” He (saw) said, “Control your tongue, keep yourself to your home and weep over your sins”. [ Tirmidhi 2414, Ahmed 22298] |
[center]“The planning of The Almighty (Allaah) is better for you than your own planning, and He could deprive you from what you ask to test your patience. So let Him see from you a determined patience and you will soon see from Him what will give you joy. And when you have cleaned the paths of answering (of supplication) from the stains of sin [i.e have repented] and were patient [/b]about what He has chosen for you, then [b]everything that happens to you is better for you whether you were given or deprived of what you have requested.” [Imaam ibn Al-Jawzee][/center] |
According to a traditional report, transmitted on the authority of Anas ibn Malik, Allah's Messenger (Allah bless him and give him peace) once said: "There are three habits, by conforming to which the heart of a Muslim will not be invaded by rancor, malevolence, malice or spite. They are: (1) working for the sake of Allah with sincere devotion [ikhlas], (2) giving honest counsel [munasaha] to those in positions of authority, and (3) keeping closely in touch with the community [jama'a] of the Muslims." |

"Certain faith (yaqeen) is that you do not make the people happy by angering Allah & that you do not envy anyone [/b]for that which [b]Allah has provided & that you do not blame anyone for something which Allah has not given you,. Since[i] provision[/i] will not be brought on by a person's [b]craving [/b]after it, nor will it be repelled by a person's [b]disliking [/b]it." [Ibn Mas'ood ] |
Jabir (May Allah be pleased with him) reported: I heard Messenger of Allah (PBUH) saying, "If a person mentions the Name of Allah (Bismillahirrehmaanirraheem) upon entering his house or eating, Satan says, addressing his followers: `You will find no where to spend the night and no dinner.' But if he enters without mentioning the Name of Allah, Satan says (to his followers); `You have found (a place) to spend the night in', and if he[b] does not mention[/b] the Name of Allah at the time of eating, Satan says: `You have found (a place) to spend the night in as well as food.'''

". . .He who acts without knowledge causes more corruption than good, and he who does not consider his speech to be part of his actions sins repeatedly. Satisfaction [/b]is scarce, and the[b] true believer should rely on patience. Allah[b] never bestowed[/b] a blessing upon one of His servants and then took it away from him, giving him patience in return for that which was taken away, except that the replacement was better than what was taken away from him.” Then he recited the following verse: “Surely the patient will be paid their wages in full without reckoning.” [39:10] |
It is narrated that, the Prophet (saw) said: "Sadaqah (giving charity) does not decrease wealth. No one forgives (another), except that Allah will increase him in honour, and no one humbles himself before Allah except that Allah raises him in status." (Muslim) |
"Son of Adam, you are nothing but days, and whenever a day passes away, a part of you passes away." — Hasan al-Basri |
Hasan al-Basri said when he came across a[b] group of people disputing[/b]: [center] “These ones have become[b] tired of worship[/b], speaking has become easy for them, and their[b] piety has diminished[/b], and that is why they talk.”[/center] |
'Umar bin Al-Khattab (R.A) said: I heard Allah's Messenger (S.A.W) saying, "The[b] reward of deeds [/b]depends upon the[size=14pt] Intentions[/size] and every person will get the reward according to what he has intended. So whoever emigrates for wordly benefits or for a woman to marry, his emigration will be for what he emigrated for." {Bukhari} So dont forget to intent every deed only to please Allah. |
