It’s all over now

It’s all over now
I break all relations with you
And never wish to even come close to you

I do not want you to be even hovering near
As your lurking around me gives a fear
You never allowed me to grow
Although you were so few

You made my heart damaged
Left my image tarnished
Made scars which became deeper
And made me a sinner

I want to live a life of peace
Remembrance of my Creator will create ease
So I break all relations with you
And never wish to even come close to you

O Allah forgive all our sins and short comings and hold our hand and guide us towards righteousness and piety and live a life of your pleasure Aameen

As the sunset brings the month of Shawwal it came to my mind Ramadan went so quickly. The goals set could not be reached Only Allah swt’s Mercy can accept our Ibadah. Similarly if we do not prepare and work hard for the hereafter and Malakul maut will stand in front of us and we will keep thinking our life passed so quickly. So prepare for the Aakhirah well before there is no space to return back.-Umme Muhammad

How should a Good Muslim Be?

How should a Good Muslim Be?
By Umme Muhammad

You can never be a good Muslim until you have Good Manners and Good character.

Islam is just not a religion which is practiced in the masjids . It has to be implemented 24 x 7 . The way you walk the way you talk the way to behave should be Islamic. If there are two men fighting on the road people check if its a Muslim then its nothing serious they always fight.

Beautiful Teachings of Prophet Muhammed(pbuh) to uplift our character and promises of paradise ...
▣ The Prophet (pbuh) said: I guarantee a house in the surroundings of Paradise for a ☛ man who avoids quarrelling even if he were in the right, a house in the middle of Paradise for a man ☛ who avoids lying even if he were joking, and a house in the upper part of Paradise for a man ☛who made his character good. (Dawud)

We give to those who give us but we also give to those who avoid us and stop the enmity Prophet saws in this way didn't like enmity in hearts either

▣ Prophet (pbuh) Said ☛ Shake hands and rancour will disappear. ☛ Give presents to each other and ☛ love each other and enmity will disappear. (Malik)

Anger is the root cause of all evils so shun anger as you shun forbidden food 
▣ A man came to the Prophet, may the mercy and blessings of God be upon him raise his name, and asked what he needed to do to get to Paradise, so the Prophet told him: ☛ “Do not get angry.” (Bukhari)

We all aim to be the best but the definition of the best according to the Prophet is .......

▣ “The best of people are those with the most ☛ excellent character.” (Tabarani)

▣ "Nothing will be placed in the balanced heavier than ☛ good behavior, and a person with ☛ good behavior will attain the rank of one who fasts in the days and prays in the nights”.(Tirmidhi)

We try our best to expose others weaknesses and hide our own but see the beautiful HAdith....

▣ “If a person covers the ☛weakness of another in this world, Allah will cover their weakness in the hereafter.” (Muslim)

▣ The best of you in Islam are those who are ☛most excellent in character as long as you deeply understand the religion.” (Ahmad)

Allah loves forgiving nature of a human being so much that he will forgive those who forgive What is better than getting forgiveness

▣ The Prophet (pbuh) said: The Compassionate One has ☛ mercy on those who are merciful. If you ☛ show mercy to those who are on the earth, He Who is in the heaven will show mercy to you. (Dawud)

Fulfilling promises if we make. Also InshaAllah we say sometimes when we do not actually intend to do something just to satisfy the person we say it so is also like a false promise. Punctuality when given a time to reach at the appropriate time is necessary.

▣ The Prophet (pbuh)said: When a man makes a promise to his brother with the ☛ intention of fulfilling it and does not do so, and does not come at the appointed time, ☛ he is guilty of no sin. (Dawud)

Being impartial with sons and daughters wherein many cultures prefer the son over the daughter and depriving the females of inheritance is wrong and forbidden

▣ The Prophet(pbuh) said: If anyone cares for three daughters, disciplines them, marries them, and ☛does good to them, ☛he will go to Paradise.(Dawud)

▣ Prophet(pbuh) said, ☛ 'Make your character good for the people. (Malik)

Below are more Hadith which specify the need of good character in our lives A muslim is not selfish He is selfless. He goes out of the way to help fellow muslims

▣ We were sitting with 'Abdullah bin 'Amr who was narrating to us (Hadith): He said, "Allah's Apostle was neither a Fahish nor a Mutafahhish, and he used to say, 'The best among you are the ☛ best in character (having good manners)."(Bukhari)

▣ The Prophet (pbuh) said: There is nothing heavier than ☛good character put in the scale of a believer on the Day of Resurrection. (Dawud)

▣ A person asked Allah's Apostle. "What (sort of) deeds in or (what qualities of) Islam are good?" He replied, ☛ "To feed (the poor) and ☛greet those whom you know and those whom you don't know." (Bukhari)

▣ The Prophet (pbuh) said: He who ☛does not accept an invitation which he receives has ☛disobeyed Allah and His Apostle of, and he who ☛enters without invitation enters as ☛ a thief and goes out as a raider. (Dawud)

And finally good behavior with parents. Most of the time many educated people and people with good Islamic knowledge are very well behaved when among their friends or colleagues but when it comes to parents they don't see eye to eye.

▣ The Prophet (pbuh) said: Do not detest ☛ your fathers; he who detested his father ☛committed infidelity. (Muslim)

▣ A man came to Allah's Apostle and said, "O Allah's Apostle! Who is more entitled to be treated with the best companionship by me?" The Prophet said, ☛"Your mother." The man said. "Who is next?" The Prophet said, ☛"Your mother." The man further said, "Who is next?" The Prophet said, ☛"Your mother." The man asked for the fourth time, "Who is next?" The Prophet said, ☛"Your father. " (Bukhari)

O Allah forgive our sins and all those whom we hurt and O Allah bestow us with good character Aameen

SHAWWAL FASTS

FAsten Yourselves

by Umme Muhammad

This blog is pending an Admins approval.

DEAR SISTERS

Have you brushed yourself with Quran enough and gained Taqwa if yes then don't loosen the nafs Make it struggle, make it strive harder, torture and weaken it. Don't let it take hold of you so start fasting six days in the month of Shawwal is mentioned in hadith of the Prophet (salallahu alaihi wasallam).

Prophet Muhammad (salallahu alaihi wasallam) said: “Whoever observes the Ramadan fast and follows it with six days in Shawwal, it is as if he has fasted the whole year (the word “dahr” is used, which some say might also mean lifetime instead of just year).” (Bukhari & Muslim as related by Abu Ayyub al-Ansari)

This is an authentic hadith, which indicates that fasting six days of Shawwal is a Prophetic sunnah. Imam Ash-Shafi`i, Ahmad, and a number of leading scholars and jurists followed this.

Make intention now in Ramadan to take reap more rewards.There are several ways that this fast may be done, as long as the first day of the month is not included. Some people may choose to fast all six days in a row immediately after the first day. This is actually helpful in that the body is already used to fasting. However, there is no harm in performing the fast later in the month, whether it is one day after the other or random days during the month.

Also sister, who have missed a few days may choose to make up their missed days first (as these days are “Fard” or obligatory). After completing those they may then begin the sunnah of fasting the six days of Shawwal. As with anything else, when one is in a habit of doing something, it is easier to do it – but when the habit is broken, it becomes more difficult to get back into it. So its better to start right away while we are still in the fasting mode.

STORY -Competition

STORY -Competition

Fareeha came from school tired and fatigued. It was a sunny day. Her throat had gone dry. She dashed in her room and instantly lied down to sleep. But she saw her brother Farid offering the Zuhr prayer. Slowly she got up and dragged herself in the bathroom. Performing ablution made her fresh. She stepped out and changed her uniform and stood on the prayer mat and offered her salah. Then as she peeped in Farid’s room expecting him to be asleep, as he too was awake from suhur she saw him reciting the Quran.

She too picked up the Quran and began reciting. She was engrossed in the penetrating verses as she understood Arabic. Soon she heard the call for asr salah. She didn’t realize how time flew away as she completed Surah Baqarah and stood for asr salah. Sleep evaded her she snooped to know about Farid, but he was not in his room. He must have gone to the masjid, she mused.

Wonder how much Quran he read, she was inquisitive. Then she heard the clatter from the kitchen. “Mamma, whats the menu today?” she rushed in only to find Farid applying butter and chutney to the bread. ‘Why can’t I go ahead of Farid in good deeds I win in studies but we should not compete there’ reflected Fareeha.

She wanted to mock him, but then she remembered when we are fasting our tongue too fasts. “Where’s mom” she finally asked Farid. “She is down with fever, I have just given her medicines from Dr Shaikh, just pray she becomes well soon”. Fareeha bit her lip “Farid what will u cook”. She pried over her mom’s recipe book. ‘I thought of making chaat it’s easy and tasty, you love it isn’t it’.

Fareeha’s eyes were moistened she quickly wiped her eyes and went to her mother’s side and as she touched forehead it was quite warm. She had heard Dr Sheikh telling many times keep cool swabs on the head fever will subside. She poured water and soaked a swab to put on her mothers forehead. Farid caught her hand, let mom sleep a while she hasn’t slept a wink when she wakes up you can do that. Now could you help me” and he dragged her out of the room.

Together they cut the fruits and arranged the chaat. And sat to make dua, when their mother came in the kitchen she was surprised when she saw the iftar table with aroma of the chaat. She sat behind the kids thanking Allah for them and as her tears reached her cheeks the call for magrib bought everyone at the table. ‘I lost the competition to Farid mamma’ said an exhausted Fareeha. ‘No, my child” said mamma picking a date and putting in her mouth. ‘The one whose intentions are to please Allah wins” ‘O Allah I fast for you and eat the Blessings you bestowed on me accepts my fast’

Are YOU IN THE RACE

Dear sisters

A Race began 13 days ago, all of us stood at the same start line to begin this very important Race.

We started it all together with the hope to reach the “Finish line”
Some Muslims will stumble and fall during this race and will find it hard to continue it.

The race was to gather more good deeds, with piety and Taqwa and being wary of nafs as satan is locked.

But have we forgotten the purpose and began to waste the time on worthless things forgetting about the real purpose of this Race.

But there are others who will give their best, who won’t stop for a minute during this Race, who will take advantage of every minute of it because they know that the “Prize” is priceless (to be freed from hell fire)!

Who are they?!! They are “THE WINNERS”!
BE ONE OF THEM… you still have time...
