Important tips to make your last nights of Ramadhan even more Beautiful

                  10 Tips to get the best out of the blessed last 10 Nights of Ramadan.

Make sure to offer prayer with your entire family,
 And make them blessed too.

1. No matter how good or bad your Ramadan went, enter the last 10 Days well prepared, with pure intentions, full energy and a positive outlook.

2. Listen to or read the Tafsir of Surah Al-Qadr to know about this amazing night, to switch that mode ON and to keep it remained ON for all the nights. It could fall on any of the last 10 nights.

3. Choose the most comfortable place for worship in your home or Masjid. Avoid leaning on pillows & cushions while reciting Qur’an or Adhkaar so as to keep your back straight.

4. Switch off your mobile phones, iPads and Laptops if possible.

5. If you’re alone, recite the Qur’an in a loud beautiful voice so that your ears & heart remain involved with the recitation and you don’t feel drowsy. Plus it has an amazingly calming effect trust me!

If you’re not alone then you can recite in a normal volume not to disturb others but can listen to a Qiraa-at in high volume using your earphone.

6. Elongate your Sujood and make loads and loads of Du’aas in it. Cry hard and ask ALLAH everything you wish for in Dunya and Aakhirah.

7. Raise your Du’aa – Remember it’s the night of decree and angels are precisely writing down whatever is gonna happen in your life for the next coming year, be specific in your Du’aas and ask for each and everything you need – Hajj, Job, Career, Spouse, Children, Home, whatever. Don’t play small in your Du’aas as you’re asking the KING OF ALL KINGS!

8. Pray 2 Raka’ah Salatul Tawbah every single night and ask for forgiveness from ALLAH – Al-Ghaffar, Al-Ghafoor, Al-Tawwab and Al-’Afuww. Repent sincerely with full hope and firm resolve of not repeating those sins again.

9. Memorize and keep asking the Du’aa of Lailatul Qadr: Allaahumma innaka ‘afuwwun tuhibb al-‘afwa fa’affu ‘anni (O Allaah, You are forgiving and You love forgiveness, so forgive me).

10. Ask ALLAH to grant you Lailatul Qadr and accept from you whatever ‘ibaadaat you did by His tawfeeq.

 Hadrat Aisha (R.A) said: “I asked the Messenger of Allah: 'O Messenger of Allah, if I know what night is the night of Qadr, what should I say during it?' He said: 'Say: O Allah, You are pardoning and You love to pardon, so pardon me.' “

"Allahumma innaka 'afuwwun tuhibbul 'afwa fa'fu 'annee" (Ahmad, Ibn Majah, and Tirmidhi). So try to recite this Dua to as much as you can.

- If you have found these tips useful, apply them and share with others too, May Allah S.W.T make us to pray more, spend more time in Sujoo'd in this blessed month so that we will be blessed with best tool against our naf's i.e Taqwa In Sha Allah.

Jazaak Allah Khair.

A Hadith On Our Treatments Towards Parents And a Beautiful Dua For Them.

Hadrat Abu Hurairah (R.A) reported: The Prophet (PBUH) said, "May he be disgraced! May he be disgraced! May he be disgraced, whose parents, one or both, attain old age during his life time, and he does not enter Jannah ( by rendering being dutiful to them)."

[Sahih Muslim: Ch-40::Hadith no-317]

In the Arabic version of this Hadith, "May he be disgraced" is written as " Ragham Anfu" and the word "Ragham" means soil. When a person's nose is soiled, it is a mark of his extreme humiliation. This metaphor carries a curse for an unfortunate person who

Abdullah Siddiqui Facilitated by BOSEF.

Abdullah Siddiqui, a student of Kindergarten got facilitates by Brilliant Oriental School Educational Foundation( BOSEF ) for his lecture on: Introduction & Divine Message of Qur'an.

Through the lecture, Abdullah give us the message that, the right way for man is to regard Allah s.w.t as his only Sovereign and the only object of his worship and adoration, to follow the guidance revealed by Allah s.w.t , to act in this world in the consciousness that earthly life is merely a period of trial, and to keep his eyes fixed on the ultimate objective - success in

Dua for protection against Swine Flu and all serious & life-threating illness.

"In the name of Allah, the most gracious & merciful."

It was narrated on the authority of Hadrat Anas (may  Allaah  be  pleased  with  him) that the Prophet Muhammad ( PBUH ) used to say: "Allaahumma inni a‘oothu bika min al-baras, wal-junoon, wal-juthaam, wa sayyi’il-asqaam (O Allah! I seek your refuge from insanity, mutilation, leprosy and from all serious illness).'' [Ahmad, Abu Daawood and An-Nasaa’i]

The above mentioned hadith proves that it is permissible to say this supplication to seek protection or cure from every disease, whether it is swine flu or  any other disease. That is because the words "Serious illness" include all of these evil diseases.

So, I request you all to please share this post to your near and dear and pray to Allah (s.w.t) to shower his divine blessing, forgives our sins and save us from all kind of diseases and help those who are effected.

Ameen!

The Excellence of Observing Fast on The Day Of Ashura’

Article mailed By: Mr. Ahmad Khan, KSA

H. Ibn ‘Abbas (R.A) reported: The Messenger of Allah (Pbuh) observed Saum (fasting) on the day of Ashura’ and command us to fast on this day.

[Al-Bukhari and Muslim, The Book of Virtues, Ch-227, Hadith no-1251]

Ashura’ is the 10^th of the Muharram. In other hadith, it is stated that when

Excellence of observing fast on the day of ‘ARAFAH or YAUM-‘ARAFAH.

It is recommended to fast on the First nine days of Dhul-Hijjah especially on the 9th, Which is the blessed day of ‘Arafah.


As H. Abu Qatadah (R.A) reported: The Messenger of Allah (pbuh) was asked about the observance of Saum (fasting) on the day of Arafah. He said, “ it is an expiation
for the sins of preceding year im, Ch: 227, Hadith no: 1250].


The ninth day of Dhul-Hijjah is called Yaum-‘Arafah. On this day, pilgrims stop and stand in prayers at “Arafat which is the most important ritual of Hajj, so much so that Hajj is considered incomplete without it. On that day the Pilgrims are involved in the remembrance of Allah and prayers as, that is most important worship on that day. For this reason, Saum is not desirable for them, but for Other people, Saum has a special virtue. The importance and the merit of this Saum can be Judged from the fact that it expiates sins for two consecutive years i.e the previous year and the current year. But these sins relate only to minors sins, not the major ones. 



Therefore, we should try our utmost to fast and offer Nafl-Salah, try to offer Tahajjud/Qayam-ul-lail and spend much time in Sujood and ask for forgiveness, Recite Qur'an and try to understand as much as we can; in these blessed 9 days of Dhul-Hijjah, particularly the 9th of Dhul-Hijjah which is the day of ‘Arafah and if not, then we should at least fast as many as we can possibly can, as we may not get this opportunity again next year as life is uncertainty and we should never delay on doing good deeds.

May Allah( swt) give all of us the opportunity to gain more and more benefits from these blessed days. 

Thank you for spending your precious time at Islam A to Z . We hope you had a good time and got some knowledge.

A natural cancer vaccine!!

Today I learnt something new….

 A natural cancer vaccine!!

Today I learnt something new…. A natural cancer vaccine!!

Allah Subhanahu wa Ta’alah wants the best for us and does not want us to have cancer or any other disease and as long as we read and implement the Qura’an we will never suffer In shaa Allah, Allah Subhanahu wa Ta’alah says: (We have not sent down to you the Qura'an that you be distressed) 20:2

Allah Subhanahu wa Ta’alah placed in each and every one of us a gland in our head called the Pineal gland, it is considered to be the biological clock of the human body and it is also connected to the sight nerve. It is so small like a size of a pea. Every day after Isha this glands start producing a substance called Melatonin which runs in the blood streams and protects the body from cancer. This gland works only in the dark so if the eye is exposed to light the gland does not work because it thinks night has not come yet. So if you stay up at night in the light you are depriving your body from this daily vaccine. Allah Subhanahu wa Ta’alah says: (We erased the sign of the night and made the sign of the day visible ) 17:12

THE UNIVERSAL MESSAGE OF THE PROPHET

by-Zeki Saritoprak,( www.infinitelight.org )

Theologically speaking, the universality of the Prophet Muhammad’s message, peace and blessings be upon him, comes from the concept of one God who is the God of all, not only the God of Muslims. God describes Himself in the first chapter of the Qur’an, which is recited by all Muslims around the world in their five daily prayers; He is the God of all creation, “Rabb al-Alamīn.” Whether humans are aware of this fact or not, God is the God of all mankind—Muslims, Christians, atheists, etc.—regardless of their differences. God is the creator of everything, with no exception. The Qur’an declares that a gigantic star and an atom are shoulder to shoulder, worshiping the same God; a fly and an elephant are brothers and sisters; all of creation is here to help us understand the meaning and the mystery of the universe.

Tahajjud Salah

  

In Exam , we get up early in d morning or middle in d night to score gud marks, But we avoid getting up for Tahajjud or Fajar salah to score gud rewards for d Hereafter .

As it has been narrated by H. Abu Huraira (R.A) that our Allah's Apostle (p.b.u.h) said, "Our Lord, the Blessed, the Superior, comes every night down on the nearest Heaven to us when the last third of the night remains, saying: "Is there anyone to invoke Me,

Importance of mother in Islam – 

The Story of H. Alqamah (radi Allahu anhu)

“Alqamah (radi Allahu anhu) was a very pious person. He spent his time in prayer and fasting. At the approach of death he was unable to proclaim the Kalima Shahada, in spite of repeated instruction by those present. Alqamah’s wife sent a messenger to Rasul Allah (sal Allahu alaihi wa sallam) to inform him of Alqamah’s grave condition.

Rasul Allah (sal Allahu alaihi wa sallam) enquired whether the parents of Alqamah were alive. He was informed that Alqamah’s mother was alive. Rasul Allah (sal Allahu alaihi wa sallam) asked the aged mother about Alqamah. She replied: ‘Alqamah is a very pious person. He passes his time in Salat and Saum. He performs Tahajjud, but he always disobeys me for the sake of his wife. I am, therefore, displeased with him.’

Rasul Allah (sal Allahu alaihi wa sallam) said: ‘It will be best for him if you forgive him.’ However, she refused. Rasul Allah (sal Allahu alaihi wa sallam) ordered Bilal (radi Allahu anhu) to gather firewood. On hearing this order, Alqamah’s mother asked in consternation: ‘Will my child be burnt in the fire?’

The Importance of Hajj in Islam

islaamatoz@gmail.com

The Importance of Hajj for Muslims

Hajj is considered to be one of the most significant deeds for all the Muslims around the world. Every Muslim has a dream to visit this holy place and to offer prayers and to ask for forgiveness and live a better life ahead.

Hajj is the divine and the most pious ritual that every Muslim has to offer once in a lifetime. Hajj means that people need to make a visit to the holy place in the Saudi Arabia which is commonly known as the city of Mecca. It is considered as the most sacred and one of the pillars in Islam. It is said if the Almighty has provided you with enough amount of wealth you should first visit this place and enrich yourself.

History of Hajj

The Hajj as we know is one of the most important activities performed by the Muslims. This ritual started by Prophet Ibraheem (A.S). He was bestowed by Allah as a messenger to the people for teaching people the path of virtue and righteousness. It was once that the Almighty had ordained Prophet Ibraheem (A.S) to build the Kaabah along with his son Hadrat Ishmael (A.S) at Makkah. The Prophet with no excuses and with hardcore efficiency started building the Kaabah.

It so happened once that the Prophet had to leave his wife H. Hajra (R.A) and his son Ishmael by the command of Allah and visit the deserts for some time.

عَنْ عَائِشَةَ - رضى الله عنها - قَالَتْ كَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ - صلى الله عليه وسلم - يَصُومُ حَتَّى نَقُولَ لاَ يُفْطِرُ ، وَيُفْطِرُ حَتَّى نَقُولَ لاَ يَصُومُ . فَمَا رَأَيْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ - صلى الله عليه وسلم - اسْتَكْمَلَ صِيَامَ شَهْرٍ إِلاَّ رَمَضَانَ، وَمَا رَأَيْتُهُ أَكْثَرَ صِيَامًا مِنْهُ فِى شَعْبَانَ . - بخاري ح1833، مسلم ح1956، نسائي ح2311، ابوداؤد ح2079
Aishah radhiallahu anhaa narrates: The Blessed Prophet (saw) fasted for so long [so many days] we thought he would never break his fast. Then he would do iftar (for so many days) we thought he will never fast. I have never seen the Blessed Prophet (saw) fast for a whole month besides the month of Ramadan and keep more fasts [outside of Ramadan] than in the month of Shabaan. ( Reported in Bukhari, Muslim, Nisai, Abu Dawood )

May Allah (swt) give all of us tawfeeq to take advantage of this great opportunity and blessing of Allah (swt).
