<span style="color: black; font-family: "Book Antiqua","serif"; font-size: 11.0pt;">In an other Hadith of Rasulullah (SAW) said "What lies between a man and disbelief is the abandonment of prayer." ( Agreed upon by Muslim, Abu Dawood and Nasaa'ee as sahih authentic)</span><span style="font-family: "Book Antiqua","serif"; font-size: 11.0pt;"> </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Book Antiqua","serif"; font-size: 11.0pt;">Do you realize the seriousness of the above hadith?it shook me hard, as I have missed my prayers …!!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Book Antiqua","serif"; font-size: 11.0pt;">Please don’t block me after reading this. you might find it difficult to digest and accept.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Book Antiqua","serif"; font-size: 11.0pt;">But remember Allah wants YOU to come to HIM. What happened is in the past. Now, is what matters/</span><br />
<span style="color: black; font-family: "Book Antiqua","serif"; font-size: 11.0pt;">Allah (swt) further warns us in the Quran "O you who believe! Let not your properties or your children divert you from the remembrance of Allâh. And whosoever does that, then they are the losers." (Sura Al-Munaafiqoon, ayah #9)</span><span style="font-family: "Book Antiqua","serif"; font-size: 11.0pt;"> <br />
<span style="color: black;">The commentators of the Qur'aan say: "The 'remembrance of Allaah' mentioned in these Aayaat means the five daily prayers.

Abu Musa said to Abdullah: You have not heard the words of 'Ammar: The Messenger of Allah (may peace be upon him) sent me on an errand and I had a seminal emission, but could find no water, and rolled myself in dust just as a beast rolls itself. I came to the Messenger of Allah (may peace be upon him) then and made a <span style="background: yellow; mso-highlight: yellow;">mention of that to him and he (the Holy Prophet) said: It would have been enough for you to do thus.

Narrated Maimuna: <br />
(the wife of the Prophet) During my menses, I never prayed, but used to sit on the mat beside the mosque of Allah's Apostle. He used to offer the prayer on his sheet and in prostration some of his clothes used to touch me."<br />
Ayesha (ra) would drink water and the Prophet s.a.w used to drink from the same vessel and the same place as her.[Muslim]<br />
Ayesha (r.a) would share her piece of meat on the bone with the Prophet s.a.w and he used to eat from the same piece and the same place as her. [Muslim]<br />
Ayesha (ra) used to wash the Prophet s.a.w ‘s head . [Muslim]<br />
The Prophet s.a.w used to lie on a pillow in her lap and used to recite the Quran [Bukhari vol 1 6, 296, Muslim<br />
Ayesha (ra) used to comb the Prophet s.a.w’s hair and he used to lean on her. [Bukhari vol 1 6 294]<br />
A man is allowed to kiss his wife while she is having her menses (periods). [Muslim]<br />
Except tawaf a menstruating woman can do and complete all the rituals of Hajj.[Bukhari 6, 302]<br />
No fasts, no prayers and no tawaf for a menstruating woman.<br />
There is no need for a woman to compensate for her missed prayers in menses [Bukhari 6, 318]<br />
<b><i><u>The moment the menses(period) starts , the fast is over for the woman, even if it’s a minute before sun set( iftar )</u></i></b><br />
A menstruating woman can eat and drink normally once her fast is broken.<br />
If she continues to stay with out food and hunger , out of respect for the fast, them she is only harming her self. Allah s.w.t has given this ease to the woman , as she is physically in need to nourishment during her menses.<br />
<b><i><u>And there would be NO sawab for continuing the fast by not eating or drinking even after the period starts.</u></i></b><br />

it was by coincidence that Imam Abu Hanifah became a student of knowledge. One day passing by the house of Sha'bi, Abu Hanifah was called in by the shaykh who mistook him for a studen tasked him "Whose classes you attend?". "Nobody's," replied the Imam regretfully. "I see signs of intelligence in you," began Sha'bi,"you should sit in the comp<span class="text_exposed_show">any of learned men." Had the great Imam not made the choice to take the advice given by Shaykh, who knows what might have happened?<br />
Every day someone is telling us something good.whats important is the choice we make-to to listen or ignore<br />
Abu Hanifa just made the choice. The strength, opportunities, greatness;all were provided by Allah ta’aala...<br />
Never doubt yourself. You have the capability to do what Allah ta’aala is asking you to do-at what age, stage, status in life. All you need to do is make the choice and leave the rest </span></span></span></h6></div>Sanahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11860375769134010973noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5574806796209149225.post-91161596139537115102011-11-12T11:01:00.000-08:002011-11-12T11:01:23.449-08:00Taharah-- Questions and Answers related to Toilet!!!<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"><!--[if gte mso 9]><xml> <w:WordDocument> <w:View>Normal</w:View> <w:Zoom>0</w:Zoom> <w:TrackMoves/> <w:TrackFormatting/> <w:PunctuationKerning/> <w:ValidateAgainstSchemas/> <w:SaveIfXMLInvalid>false</w:SaveIfXMLInvalid> <w:IgnoreMixedContent>false</w:IgnoreMixedContent> <w:AlwaysShowPlaceholderText>false</w:AlwaysShowPlaceholderText> <w:DoNotPromoteQF/> <w:LidThemeOther>EN-US</w:LidThemeOther> <w:LidThemeAsian>X-NONE</w:LidThemeAsian> <w:LidThemeComplexScript>AR-SA</w:LidThemeComplexScript> <w:Compatibility> <w:BreakWrappedTables/> <w:SnapToGridInCell/> <w:WrapTextWithPunct/> <w:UseAsianBreakRules/> <w:DontGrowAutofit/> <w:SplitPgBreakAndParaMark/> <w:DontVertAlignCellWithSp/> <w:DontBreakConstrainedForcedTables/> <w:DontVertAlignInTxbx/> <w:Word11KerningPairs/> <w:CachedColBalance/> </w:Compatibility> <m:mathPr> <m:mathFont m:val="Cambria Math"/> <m:brkBin m:val="before"/> <m:brkBinSub m:val="--"/> <m:smallFrac m:val="off"/> <m:dispDef/> <m:lMargin m:val="0"/> <m:rMargin m:val="0"/> <m:defJc m:val="centerGroup"/> <m:wrapIndent m:val="1440"/> <m:intLim m:val="subSup"/> <m:naryLim m:val="undOvr"/> </m:mathPr></w:WordDocument> </xml><![endif]--><!--[if gte mso 9]><xml> <w:LatentStyles DefLockedState="false" DefUnhideWhenUsed="true"

And generally we don’t detect it. it’s worse than cancer, because its destroys our Akhirat<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>as well as Dunya.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The person with even an ounce of Takkabur in his heart wont be allowed inside Jannah!!</span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: "Comic Sans MS";">The only difference between the two is that unlike Cancer, Takkabur is within us and WE ALL KNOW IT!!</span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: "Comic Sans MS";">The true momins accept it and pledge to fight it till their last dying breath.

We become “fierce Opponents” in an argument, because we have to protect our image. We don’t stop to listen what the others are saying. They might be right too. We become judgmental. We become harsh. We become diseased. We stop feeling joy. The purity of the emotion is lost. What we feel after winning a round of arguments by what ever means we could use is a twisted and dark version of the beautiful emotion Allah swt made for us.</span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: "Comic Sans MS";">We get immersed in the love of this world.

I did. I wanted to get back at you two for keeping secrets from me. I read an email that you had sent her. She didn’t tell me anything. She always kept her promise. I read it and told Sarah about your brief relationship with your husband’s cousin. And I got carried away and added some details that weren’t true.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I didn’t think that Sarah would tell that to your husband’s sister.

Iqbal was sitting by the window, reading the morning newspaper.It had been 3 months since his mother had passed away. Time was slowly easing the pain. <br />
As his eyes wandered on the page, looking for some news that would catch his interest, Iqbal felt the now familiar stirrings of pain; somewhere deep inside him as he came across a section in the paper which published some hadiths or ayats .<br />
His mother (may Allah have mercy on her soul) due to declining health, couldn’t read as much as she used to do before. She sorely missed reading the paper. To make his mother happy, Iqbal started reading her the paper every day in the evening. Her favorite section was the “Islamic section.”<br />
He put down the paper and decided to go for a walk. He tried very hard not to think of his mother, but memories of old kept coming back to him.<br />
A part of him, was still that small boy who felt secure when he heard his mother’s voice.<br />
He really wanted it back. It was so silly. He knew she wouldn’t come back now. If he could be even half as good as she wanted him to be, maybe they would meet in jannah .<br />
At that moment, a deep need for his mother overwhelmed him and he sat down and raised his hands in dua and prayed to Allah swt to help him and some how ease this pain.<br />
And he headed back home.<br />
As he was preparing for bed, in the night, he was surprised to see a diary on his night stand. As he picked it up, he was assailed with the scent his mother used. It smelled of her..!!<br />
He eagerly opened it and saw it was a diary written in her hand. It contained all the duas that she could gather over the years. She had indexed every dua according to occasion and need.<br />
It felt so nice to hold it and read it. He felt like he was near his mother again.<br />
He wept with thankfulness as he prostrated in front of Allah that night. This was his first isha prayer in ages. And at that moment he promised his Allah and himself , that he would spend the rest of his life trying to be that “muslim” that his mother always wanted him to be.<br />
The next day, he got a call from his father. He told Iqbal, that right before her death, his mother had told his father to give the “dua book” to him, after she was gone. He wanted to keep the book for himself, but wanted to honor the promise he had made.<br />
<br />
That “dua book “ my dear sisters and brothers changed Iqbal’s life.<br />
He became regular with his prayers, started reading Quran, and started understanding it and applying it to his life. It changed him, his family, his society, his community.<br />
We should think what we will leave our children when we are gone. Would we leave only material wealth or something that will make their world and the hereafter beautiful and pleasing to Allah.<br />
A simple dua book made all the difference in so many lives.<br />
May Allah grant maghfirat for Iqbal’s mother and all the mothers and fathers of the muslims , who have gone from this world forever ..ameen.</div>Sanahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11860375769134010973noreply@blogger.com0
