Allah is more Delighted with the Repentance

Reported by Anas bin Malik Al-Ansari (RA):
Messenger of Allah (Peace be upon him) said, "Verily, Allah is more delighted with the repentance of His Slave than a person who lost his camel in desert land and then finds it (unexpectedly) :
( Bukhari and Muslim)

Act kindly towards your women


Abu Hurairah (May Allaah be pleased with him) reported : Messenger of Allaah (Sallallaahu 'alaihi wasallam) said : " Take my advice with regard to women : Act kindly towards women , for they were created from a  rib, and the most crooked part of a rib is its uppermost . If you attempt to straighten it ; you will break it, and if you leave it alone it will remain crooked ; so act kindly toward women ".
[Al-Bukhari and Muslim].

Change of Heart Change Everything

A group of people amongst my followers will remain obedient to Allah's orders and they will not be harmed by anyone who will not help them or who will oppose them , till Allah's Order (the Last Day) comes upon them while they are still on the right path .
 [Bukhari Vol 4, Book 56, No 835]

Debating, criticizing and obstinacy

The Prophet Muhammad ( Salla ‘Allahu 'alayhi wasallam) _*mentioned the following ḥadīth , “ One of the most detested people in the Sight of ALLAH is he who obstinate and argumentative .”
 [Bukhārī]

By constantly debating and discussing a persons heart becomes hard , his ʿibādāt  (acts of worship) become mechanical and all he thinks about and is perturbed about are the fine points of religion , which are best left to the ʿUlamā (scholars), whilst at the same time neglecting the major aspects . This leads to a character of criticizing others starting by those around him , followed by those in religious authority (present and past) and even as far as criticizing the Ṣaḥābah (Companions of Rasūl Allāh (Salla ‘Allahu 'alayhi wasallam) ,. Debating , criticizing and obstinacy stem from arrogance .

However the teaching of Islam is that rather being critical of others , a * person should be critical of himself* . Before thinking of criticizing others a person should ask himself whether he is in a moral or scholarly position to do so and whether it is the genuine , sincere and constructive criticism a Muslim imparts to his fellow Muslim referred to in the ḥadīth ,

“ A believer is a mirror of a believer .”
[Abū Dāwūd]

What this means is that if a Muslim sees a fault in his fellow Muslim he should sincerely advise him in the best way possible .

What is faith?

Narrated Abu Huraira:  One day while the Prophet was sitting in the company of some people, (The angel) Gabriel came and asked, "What is faith?" Allah's Apostle 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 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 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 replied, "The answerer has no better knowledge than the questioner. But I will inform you about its portents.
1. When a slave (lady) gives birth to her master.
2. 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.
The Prophet then recited: "Verily, with Allah (Alone) is the knowledge of the Hour--." (31. 34) Then that man (Gabriel) left and the Prophet asked his companions to call him back, but they could not see him. Then the Prophet 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.

The signs of a Hypocrite

Narrated Abu Huraira: The Prophet said, "The signs of a hypocrite are three:
1. Whenever he speaks, he tells a lie.
2. Whenever he promises, he always breaks it (his promise).
3. If you trust him, he proves to be dishonest. (If you keep something as a trust with him, he will not return it.)" (AL-Bukhari 1:32)

Narrated 'Abdullah bin 'Amr: The Prophet said, "Whoever has the following four (characteristics) will be a pure hypocrite and whoever has one of the following four characteristics will have one characteristic of hypocrisy unless and until he gives it up.
1. Whenever he is entrusted, he betrays.
2. Whenever he speaks, he tells a lie.
3. Whenever he makes a covenant, he proves treacherous.
4. Whenever he quarrels, he behaves in a very imprudent, evil and insulting manner." (AL-Bukhari 1:33)

Dua in Rain

Narrated Aisha radhi Allahu anhu: Whenever ALLAH (swt)’s Apostle  Prophet Muhammad (saw) saw the rain, he used to say, “O (swt) ! Let it be a strong fruitful rain.”

 [ Bukhari, Book 17, Number 142 ]

Ruling on Plucking Eyebrows

Al-Bukhaari (5931) and Muslim (2125) narrated that ‘Abd-Allaah ibn Mas’ood (may Allaah be pleased with him) said: “May Allaah curse the women who do tattoos and those who have them done, those who have their eyebrows plucked, and those who file their teeth for the purpose of beautification and change the creation of Allaah.”

ALL ARE EQUAL IN ISLAM, SO SAY NO TO RACISM AND CASTEISM

Why do we normally share, hang, and like pictures of kids with blue eyes, red fair skin and chubby cheeks?
We do not normally like and promote kids with dark color and curly hair, why?
Islam does not believe in any racism, casteism, nationalism. It believes in only one race that is Human Race.
Prophet Muhammed (peace be upon him) honored a black slave Bilal to climb over Kaaba and to make call to prayer. Hence breaking the ideology of Racism and clearing misconception that Muslims worship Kaaba as idol.
Till date, Blacks or colored people have special place in Islam, since Prophet Muhammed's (peace be upon him) last sermon was 'no white is superior to black and no black is superior to white, no Arab is superior to non-Arab and no non-Arab is superior to Arab. All are sons of Adam and Adam was made from Dust.'
 Likewise, Islam does not believe in making a certain set of people as elites while others being untouchables. In mosques, Muslims are obliged to stand with their feet and shoulders touching each others.

What is the best deed

Allah's Apostle was asked, "What is the best deed?" He replied, "To believe in Allah and His Apostle (Muhammad). The questioner then asked, "What is the next (in goodness)? He replied, "To participate in Jihad (religious fighting) in Allah's Cause." The questioner again asked, "What is the next (in goodness)?" He replied, "To perform Hajj (Pilgrim age to Mecca) 'Mubrur, (which is accepted by Allah and is performed with the intention of seeking Allah's pleasure only and not to show off and without committing a sin and in accordance with the traditions of the Prophet)."

حَدَّثَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ يُونُسَ، وَمُوسَى بْنُ إِسْمَاعِيلَ، قَالاَ حَدَّثَنَا إِبْرَاهِيمُ بْنُ سَعْدٍ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ شِهَابٍ، عَنْ سَعِيدِ بْنِ الْمُسَيَّبِ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ، أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم سُئِلَ أَىُّ الْعَمَلِ أَفْضَلُ فَقَالَ " إِيمَانٌ بِاللَّهِ وَرَسُولِهِ ". قِيلَ ثُمَّ مَاذَا قَالَ " الْجِهَادُ فِي سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ ". قِيلَ ثُمَّ مَاذَا قَالَ " حَجٌّ مَبْرُورٌ ".

So you must keep on reciting the Qur'an because it escapes from the hearts of men faster than camel do." Bukhari : Book 6 : Volume 61 : Hadith 550

TWO BELOVED THINGS
