Okay so it's saturday now, so I can post a new hadith!

Narated By Abu Musa :

Some people asked Allah's Apostle (pbuh), "Whose Islam is the best? i.e. (Who is a very good Muslim)?" He replied, "One who avoids harming the Muslims with his tongue and hands."
~[Bukhari Vol 1 Bk 2 No. 10]

How many of us actually do this?

Narrated By Jarir bin 'Abdullah:

Allah's Apostle (peace be upon him) said, "Allah will not be merciful to those who are not merciful to mankind."
~[Bukhari Vol 9 Bk 93 No. 473]

We constantly ask Allah to be merciful towards us but are we merciful towards each other?

[MeemWawMeemNoon]

^ that's pretty much all I'm counting on

I am on the same page as you.

May Allah grant you paradise here on earth and in the Hereafter, dear brother.

[MeemWawMeemNoon]

Dearest brother, it is from the Holy Quran.

5:32. On that account: We ordained for the Children of Israel that if any one slew a person - unless it be for murder or for spreading mischief in the land - it would be as if he slew the whole people: and if any one saved a life, it would be as if he saved the life of the whole people. Then although there came to them Our apostles with clear signs, yet, even after that, many of them continued to commit excesses in the land.

I know its one a day but i feel this one is really significant

Book 032, Number 6309:

'Abdullah reported Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him) as saying:

It is obligatory for you to tell the truth, for truth leads to virtue and virtue leads to Paradise, and the man who continues to speak the truth and endeavors to tell the truth is eventually recorded as truthful with Allah, and beware of telling of a lie for telling of a lie leads to obscenity and obscenity leads to Hell-Fire, and the person who keeps telling lies and endeavors to tell a lie is recorded as a liar with Allah.

[Sahih Muslim]


Points to be taken from this hadith:
Being truthful is one of the many characteristics a Muslim must have. With truthfulness and sincerity, we can be trusted by anyone. The prophet Muhammad (saw) was known as Al-Amin (the trustworthy) and Al-Sadiq(The truthful). In fact, the prophet (saw) was so trustworthy that the Meccans used to entrust their wealth with him. Furthermore, when the prophet (saw) received the divine message to preach to the non-Muslims he started off like this, "O Quraish! If I say that an army is advancing on you from behind the mountains, will you believe me?" All said in one voice, "Yes; because we have never heard you telling a lie." Everyone knew that the prophet (saw) was truthful and trustworthy, thus it was impossible to label him a liar when he spoke about Islam.

This hadith reveals to us yet another key to paradise. The reward for telling the truth is virtue and virtue leads to Paradise. The person who constantly speaks the truth is recorded as truthful with Allah (swt)."That Allah may reward the men of Truth for their Truth, and punish the Hypocrites if that be His Will, or turn to them in Mercy: for Allah is Oft-Forgiving, Most Merciful." (surah al-ahzab v24)

On the contrary, this hadith reveals to us yet another way to fall into the depths of Hell-Fire. Telling lies leads to obscenity and obscenity leads to Hell. The person who constantly tells a lie, is recorded as a liar with Allah (swt). This "Obscenity" could be a number of things. One of the major obscene things lying could result in ishypocrisy -and hypocrites are destined to enter hell-fire: "Signs of a hypocrite are three: whenever he speaks he lies; whenever he promises, he breaks his promises; and whenever he has been entrusted, be betrays his trust; even if he fasts and prays and even if he claims he is a Muslim." [Bukhari & Muslim]

The Book of Heart-Softening Narrations

No. 6010 - Narrated Mujahid:


'Abdullah bin 'Umar said, "Allah's Apostle took hold of my shoulder and said, 'Be in this world as if you were a stranger or a traveler." The sub-narrator added: Ibn 'Umar used to say, "If you survive till the evening, do not expect to be alive in the morning, and if you survive till the morning, do not expect to be alive in the evening, and take from your health for your sickness, and (take) from your life for your death."
[Sahih Al-Bukhari]

Points that could be taken from this hadith:


In this hadith we get two views on the of Muslim- a stranger's view & a traveler's view
The strangers view is like living in this life like we don't belong to it. To be a stranger means to be unable to assimilate with the society. A "stranger" and a "traveler" go hand in hand. Being a stranger could also mean that one is a visitor in a foreign land.

Why does the prophet (saw) want us to be like strangers/travelers in this life? There are a plethora of reasons, but the essential reasons are as follows:
1) By being a stranger we don't get attached to the"glitter" of this world. By practicing Islam in the proper way, we may be looked at by others (non-Muslims) as "strange", and this is the description all Muslims should aim for. "...and let not your eyes overlook them (Muslims) desiring the pomp and glitter of the world; and obey not him whose heart We have made heedless of Our Remembrance, one who follows his own lusts, and his own affairs [deeds] has been lost.)"[Qur'an 18:28].

2) Since we are different than everyone else, we don't need to copy anyone else. We follow the prophet (saw) and obey Allah (swt) no matter how strange it may appear to the society we live in.
'O believers! Obey Allah and Obey the messenger, and those who have power of command amongst you, then again if there may arise any difference amongst you, refers it to Allah and His messenger, if you have faith in Allah and the Last Day. This is better, and its end is best. [Surah an-Nisaa: 59]

3) Islam is itself described as something strange: Narrated by Muslim (145) from Abu Hurayrah who said: The Messenger of Allaah (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said: Islam began as something strange and will revert to being strange as it began, so give glad tidings to the strangers.
"This shows that supporting Islam and following its commands may require leaving one's homeland and being patient in bearing the difficulties of being a stranger, as was the case in the beginning...." of Islam. [Taken from: http://www.islamonline.com/news/newsfull.php?newid=473]

4) Being a traveler, our final and ultimate goal is paradise."But those who believe and do deeds of righteousness -- We shall soon admit them to Gardens, with rivers flowing beneath,-- to dwell therein forever. Allâh's promise is the truth, and whose word can be truer than Allâh's?" (Qur'ân 4:122).

Volume 1, Book 1, Number 5:

Narrated Ibn 'Abbas:

Allah's Apostle was the most generous of all the people, and he used to reach the peak in generosity in the month of Ramadan when Gabriel met him. Gabriel used to meet him every night of Ramadan to teach him the Qur'an. Allah's Apostle was the most generous person, even more generous than the strong uncontrollable wind (in readiness and haste to do charitable deeds).

[Palwasha]

It is reported on the authority of 'Abdullah (Radi Allah Anhu) that the Apostle of Allah (sal-allahu- alleihi-wasallam) observed:

"The best of the deeds or deed is the (observance of) prayer at its proper time and kindness to the parents."

[Sahih Muslim: Bk 1 No. 155]

[Palwasha]

Abu Huraira reported Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him) as saying:

''In Paradise, there is a tree under the shadow of which a rider can travel for a hundred years''.

[Muslim Bk 40 No. 6784]

[Muslimah]

^ Kindness to your parents - what if they're kafirs?

[Palwasha]

^ Kindness to your parents - what if they're kafirs?

The same rule still applies.

[Palwasha]

It's technically a new day =P (well here in England at least).

The Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) said:

"Do not hold back (from giving to people and helping them), or God will withhold (His mercy and blessings) from you."

[Sahih Bukhari, Volume 2, Hadith 513]

A beautiful lesson that shows there is great reward in helping people and being generous, MashaAllah.

Narrated 'Abdullah bin 'Abbas: Abu Sufyan bin Harb informed me that Heraclius had sent a messenger to him while he had been accompanying a caravan from Quraish. They were merchants doing business in Sham (Syria, Palestine, Lebanon and Jordan), at the time when Allah's Apostle had truce with Abu Sufyan and Quraish infidels. So Abu Sufyan and his companions went to Heraclius at Ilya (Jerusalem). Heraclius called them in the court and he had all the senior Roman dignitaries around him. He called for his translator who, translating Heraclius's question said to them, "Who amongst you is closely related to that man who claims to be a Prophet?" Abu Sufyan replied, "I am the nearest relative to him (amongst the group)." Heraclius said, "Bring him (Abu Sufyan) close to me and make his companions stand behind him." Abu Sufyan added, Heraclius told his translator to tell my companions that he wanted to put some questions to me regarding that man (The Prophet) and that if I told a lie they (my companions) should contradict me." Abu Sufyan added, "By Allah! Had I not been afraid of my companions labeling me a liar, I would not have spoken the truth about the Prophet. The first question he asked me about him was: 'What is his family status amongst you?' I replied, 'He belongs to a good (noble) family amongst us.' Heraclius further asked, 'Has anybody amongst you ever claimed the same (i.e. to be a Prophet) before him?' I replied, 'No.' He said, 'Was anybody amongst his ancestors a king?' I replied, 'No.' Heraclius asked, 'Do the nobles or the poor follow him?' I replied, 'It is the poor who follow him.' He said, 'Are his followers increasing decreasing (day by day)?' I replied, 'They are increasing.' He then asked, 'Does anybody amongst those who embrace his religion become displeased and renounce the religion afterwards?' I replied, 'No.' Heraclius said, 'Have you ever accused him of telling lies before his claim (to be a Prophet)?' I replied, 'No. ' Heraclius said, 'Does he break his promises?' I replied, 'No. We are at truce with him but we do not know what he will do in it.' I could not find opportunity to say anything against him except that. Heraclius asked, 'Have you ever had a war with him?' I replied, 'Yes.' Then he said, 'What was the outcome of the battles?' I replied, 'Sometimes he was victorious and sometimes we.' Heraclius said, 'What does he order you to do?' I said, 'He tells us to worship Allah and Allah alone and not to worship anything along with Him, and to renounce all that our ancestors had said. He orders us to pray, to speak the truth, to be chaste and to keep good relations with our Kith and kin.' Heraclius asked the translator to convey to me the following, I asked you about his family and your reply was that he belonged to a very noble family. In fact all the Apostles come from noble families amongst their respective peoples. I questioned you whether anybody else amongst you claimed such a thing, your reply was in the negative. If the answer had been in the affirmative, I would have thought that this man was following the previous man's statement. Then I asked you whether anyone of his ancestors was a king. Your reply was in the negative, and if it had been in the affirmative, I would have thought that this man wanted to take back his ancestral kingdom. I further asked whether he was ever accused of telling lies before he said what he said, and your reply was in the negative. So I wondered how a person who does not tell a lie about others could ever tell a lie about Allah. I, then asked you whether the rich people followed him or the poor. You replied that it was the poor who followed him. And in fact all the Apostle have been followed by this very class of people. Then I asked you whether his followers were increasing or decreasing. You replied that they were increasing, and in fact this is the way of true faith, till it is complete in all respects. I further asked you whether there was anybody, who, after embracing his religion, became displeased and discarded his religion. Your reply was in the negative, and in fact this is (the sign of) true faith, when its delight enters the hearts and mixes with them completely. I asked you whether he had ever betrayed. You replied in the negative and likewise the Apostles never betray. Then I asked you what he ordered you to do. You replied that he ordered you to worship Allah and Allah alone and not to worship any thing along with Him and forbade you to worship idols and ordered you to pray, to speak the truth and to be chaste. If what you have said is true, he will very soon occupy this place underneath my feet and I knew it (from the scriptures) that he was going to appear but I did not know that he would be from you, and if I could reach him definitely, I would go immediately to meet him and if I were with him, I would certainly wash his feet.' Heraclius then asked for the letter addressed by Allah's Apostle which was delivered by Dihya to the Governor of Busra, who forwarded it to Heraclius to read. The contents of the letter were as follows: "In the name of Allah the Beneficent, the Merciful (This letter is) from Muhammad the slave of Allah and His Apostle to Heraclius the ruler of Byzantine. Peace be upon him, who follows the right path. Furthermore I invite you to Islam, and if you become a Muslim you will be safe, and Allah will double your reward, and if you reject this invitation of Islam you will be committing a sin by misguiding your Arisiyin (peasants). (And I recite to you Allah's Statement 'O people of the scripture! Come to a word common to you and us that we worship none but Allah and that we associate nothing in worship with Him, and that none of us shall take others as Lords beside Allah. Then, if they turn away, say: Bear witness that we are Muslims (those who have surrendered to Allah).' (3:64). Abu Sufyan then added, "When Heraclius had finished his speech and had read the letter, there was a great hue and cry in the Royal Court. So we were turned out of the court. I told my companions that the question of Ibn-Abi-Kabsha) (the Prophet Muhammad) has become so prominent that even the King of Bani Al-Asfar (Byzantine) is afraid of him. Then I started to become sure that he (the Prophet) would be the conqueror in the near future till I embraced Islam (i.e. Allah guided me to it)." The sub narrator adds, "Ibn An-Natur was the Governor of llya' (Jerusalem) and Heraclius was the head of the Christians of Sham. Ibn An-Natur narrates that once while Heraclius was visiting ilya' (Jerusalem), he got up in the morning with a sad mood. Some of his priests asked him why he was in that mood? Heraclius was a foreteller and an astrologer. He replied, 'At night when I looked at the stars, I saw that the leader of those who practice circumcision had appeared (become the conqueror). Who are they who practice circumcision?' The people replied, 'Except the Jews nobody practices circumcision, so you should not be afraid of them (Jews). 'Just Issue orders to kill every Jew present in the country.' While they were discussing it, a messenger sent by the king of Ghassan to convey the news of Allah's Apostle to Heraclius was brought in. Having heard the news, he (Heraclius) ordered the people to go and see whether the messenger of Ghassan was circumcised. The people, after seeing him, told Heraclius that he was circumcised. Heraclius then asked him about the Arabs. The messenger replied, 'Arabs also practice circumcision.' (After hearing that) Heraclius remarked that sovereignty of the 'Arabs had appeared. Heraclius then wrote a letter to his friend in Rome who was as good as Heraclius in knowledge. Heraclius then left for Homs. (a town in Syrian and stayed there till he received the reply of his letter from his friend who agreed with him in his opinion about the emergence of the Prophet and the fact that he was a Prophet. On that Heraclius invited all the heads of the Byzantines to assemble in his palace at Homs. When they assembled, he ordered that all the doors of his palace be closed. Then he came out and said, 'O Byzantines! If success is your desire and if you seek right guidance and want your empire to remain then give a pledge of allegiance to this Prophet (i.e. embrace Islam).' (On hearing the views of Heraclius) the people ran towards the gates of the palace like onagers but found the doors closed. Heraclius realized their hatred towards Islam and when he lost the hope of their embracing Islam, he ordered that they should be brought back in audience. (When they returned) he said, 'What already said was just to test the strength of your conviction and I have seen it.' The people prostrated before him and became pleased with him, and this was the end of Heraclius's story (in connection with his faith).
