14-17 Years Old Girl is not too young to get married. BISMILLAHIRRAHMANIRRAHIM

Apology as my reminder today is a bit long. Marry out your daughters before she either bring shame to your house or she cause Allah wrath on you, girls are being matured from the day they all realizes that their friends have boy friends, we all forget the serious warning given by Allah in respect of boy/girl friend relation where Allah says Wed them with the permission of their own folk and give them their mahr (dowry) according to what is reasonable; they should be chaste, not adulterous, nor taking boyfriends…” [ 4:25]

Ibn Katheer comment concerning the above verse; Muhsanaat [translated as “chaste”] means that they should be pure, not indulging in zinaa (unlawful sexual conduct), hence they are described as not being musaafihaat, which means promiscuous women who do not refuse anyone who wants to commit immoral acts with them. Regarding the phrase wa laa muttakhidhaati akhdaan ‘nor taking boyfriends'

Ibn ‘Abbaas said: ‘al-musaafihaat means those who are known to commit zinaa, meaning those who will not refuse anyone who wants to commit immoral acts with them.’

Ibn ‘Abbaas also said: ‘muttakhidhaati akhdaan means lovers.’ A similar interpretation was narrated from Abu Hurayrah, Al-Hasan al-Basri said: ‘It means a (male) friend.’ Al-Dahhaak also said: ‘wa laa muttakhidhaati akhdaan also means a woman who has just one boyfriend or lover with whom she is happy.

Allaah has also forbidden this, meaning marrying her so long as she is in that situation, Allah further says ;Let no man guilty of fornication or adultery marry any but a woman similarly guilty, or an unbeliever: nor let any but such a man or an unbeliever marry such a woman: to the Believers such a thing is forbidden.” [al-Noor 24:3]

When a girl of 17 is given to marriage in our present society, you would hear a lot of people lamenting, especially the human right; Oh she's too young for marriage.Oh she doesn't

Reminder
Wake your children up for fajr salaat and go along with the males to the masjid as it is the duty of the parent for a good upbringing for the children. BISMILLAHIRRAHMANIRRAHIM

The parents should encourage their children -- males and females -- to pray regularly and on time, because the father is the shepherd of his household and is responsible for his flock, and the mother is also a shepherd and is responsible for her flock.

Shaykh Muhammad ibn Saalih al-‘Uthaymeen (may Allah have mercy on him) was asked: Is it permissible for a man to go out to pray when his children are in the house? He replied: A man is obliged to obey the command of Allah in the verse in which He says “O you who believe! Ward off yourselves and your families against a Fire (Hell) whose fuel is men and stones, over which are (appointed) angels stern (and) severe, who disobey not, (from executing) the Commands they receive from Allah, but do that which they are commanded [al-Tahreem 66:6].

Father of the house must tell his family to pray as the Prophet (blessings and peace of Allah be upon him) enjoined when he said: “Tell your children to pray when they are seven years old and smack (lightly) them if they do not do it when they are ten, and separate them in their beds.” And Allah, may He be exalted, tells us that Ismaa’eel, the father of the Arabs: “used to enjoin on his family and his people As‑Salaah (the prayers) and the Zakaah, and his Lord was pleased with him” [Maryam 19:55]. Don't we want Allah to be pleased with us?

It is not permissible for him -- the father -- to leave his children sleeping without waking them up to pray and follow up on them. It is not sufficient just to wake them up; rather it is essential to follow up, because he may wake them up, then they go back to sleep again.

Let's instinct the love of salaat in the congregation to our children because of the praises of the prophet peace be upon him where He blessings and peace of Allah be upon him praised th

A camel entered upon the Messenger of Allah as if he knew him,

And put his mouth to the Messenger of Allah's ear,

And the Messenger listened to him until he finished speaking..!!

Then the Messenger said: Send for so-and-so son of so-and-so..

So he was brought to the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace.

He said to him: Are you the owner of this camel..?

He said to him: Yes, O Messenger of Allah..

He said to him: He complains about you to Allah because you are harsh with him, and burden him with more than he can bear, and the camel has become old.

So the Messenger said to the owner of the camel: Sell him to me..

So he sold him to the Messenger of Allah..

The Messenger said to the camel:

Go as you wish and graze as you wish,

And do not be sad about what has passed..

The camel bent over the Messenger of Allah's ear, and spoke to him in a way that no one but the Messenger of Allah could understand,
and the Messenger said: Ameen Ameen

And on the fourth, the Messenger of Allah cried..!!!

And the companions asked the Messenger: O Messenger of Allah, why did you say Ameen three times, and cry on the fourth..?

The Prophet said:
The camel prayed to Allah for me, saying:
May Allah reward you, O Prophet of the Quran , on my behalf and on behalf of Islam..
I said: Ameen .

Then he prayed, saying:
And may Allah save your nation from the disgrace of this world and the torment of the Hereafter..
I said: Ameen

Then he said to me:
And may Allah conceal your nation on the Day of Resurrection as you concealed me..
I said: Ameen

Then he said:
And may Allah not make their fighting among themselves..

So I cried,
Because I know that the fighting among this nation will be severe..

God loves beauty in all its forms

🌸Prophet Muhammad said, “No one will enter Paradise who has an ant’s weight of pride in his heart.” A man said, “What if a man likes his clothes to look good and his shoes to look good?” He said, “God is beautiful and loves beauty. Pride means denying the truth and looking down on people.

Beauty is the opposite of ugliness. The beauty that exists in creation attests to God’s beauty as well as His power. He who created beauty is the most entitled to beauty. And indeed Paradise is adorned with beauty beyond imagining. God is beautiful and this is why the greatest of all pleasures in Paradise is to look upon God’s Face. God says,

“[Some] faces, that Day, will be radiant; looking to their Lord.” (Quran 75: 22-23)

He refers to His names as being the Most Beautiful:

“And the Most Beautiful Names belong to God, so call on Him by them...” (Quran 7:180)

Noted Islamic scholar Ibn al-Qayyim, may Allah have mercy on him, had the following to say about beauty in Islam:

“God is to be acknowledged for beauty that bears no resemblance to anything else, and He is to be worshipped by means of the beauty which He loves in words, deeds and attitudes. He loves His slaves to beautify their tongues with the truth, to beautify their hearts with sincere devotion, love, repentance and trust in Him, to beautify their faculties with obedience, and to beautify their bodies by showing His blessings upon them in their clothing and by keeping them pure and free of any filth, dirt or impurity, by removing the hairs which should be removed, by circumcision, and by clipping the nails. Thus they recognize God through these qualities of beauty and seek to draw close to Him through beautiful words, deeds and attitudes. They acknowledge Him for the beauty which is His attribute and they worship Him through the beauty which He has prescribed and His religion

Do you know why we recite ATTA'HIYYAAT, in every Salah?

Attahiyyaat is a very important 'Dua' we repeat it in our daily prayers.

When I came to know the background, it actually melted my heart.

Attahiyat is actually a part of a conversation between Our Creator Allah SWT and our beloved Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) during his journey of Al Isra Wal Miraj.

When Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) met Allah SWT, he didn't say 'Assalam aleikum'.

What is someone going to say when he meets Allah SWT ?

We can't wish HIM peace because ALL sources of peace are through HIM.

So Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) said:

"Attahiyyaatu Lillahi Was Salawatu Wattayyibatu"

(All compliments, all prayer and worship are for Allah)

Allah replied:

"Assalamu Alaika Ayyuhannabiyyu 'Warahmatullahi Wabarka'tuhu"
(Peace be upon you, Oh Prophet and Allah's Mercy and Blessings).

To this, Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) replied: "Assalamu Alaina Wa'ala'lbadillahis Saa'liheen"

(Peace be on us and on all good slaves of Allah)

Note*

Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) included "us" in his reply... (and on all good slaves of Allah)

And listening to this conversation between Allah and His Messenger (pbuh), the Angels said: "Ash'had'u'un La ilahaillallahu Wa Ash'hadu Anna Muhammadun Abd'uhu Wa Rasooluh"

(I bear witness that no one is worthy of worship except Allah and I bear witness that Muhammad is His slave and Messenger).

Subhan Allah!

I now know the background of this conversation and its importance in our daily prayers and how the Salat was prescribed to us.

Now that you too know, what do you think you should do with it. Imagine if your friends read and know what you know just because of you !!!

سبحان الله

Allah loves the following people.
1. The doers of Good
2. Those who purifies themselves.
3. The righteous people
4. The people who are steadfast
5. Those who rely on Allah
6. Those who act Justly.

May Allah made us among the above people.

“It’s a masterpiece. If you find yourself stuck in the self-help section and feeling gloomy about life, then this book can immediately get you back on the right track and ease your burden. If you’re struggling with taking a leap of faith, this book will lift your spirits. If you’re drowning in a sea of hatred and negativity, it will guide you toward love and help you navigate towards a purpose. I loved it!”

Reminder
RE-DIRECT YOUR WAYS OF LIFE TOWARDS PARADISE. BismillaahirRahmaanirRaheem.

The Messenger of ALLAH (sal Allahu alaihi wa sallam) said: “Truly, whoever takes the Hereafter as his or her (primary) concern, Allah places his richness before his eyes (his heart feels content), gathers his inner self (so he is at peace with himself), and this worldly life comes to him with compliance. And whoever has this worldly life as his (main) concern, Allah makes his poverty appear imminent to him, disunites his inner self (so he feels disgruntled and unhappy) and he does not gain anything from this worldly life except what had been destined for him.” [BY Imam Tirmidhi].

Are you saving good deeds for your salvation or wasting your life on earth knowing you may be dead by end of today or tomorrow? Are you wiser than those who are buried in the graves that's why you are alive? How many times do you think of death a day? Do you think about the time for next salaat as you think about other things in life? Let's re-focus on what's our priorities in life.

We hear all these almost all the time and we support other families in burying their love ones but does it ever occurs to you that you maybe next to go as such refocus your ways of life?, A boat needs water to go places: Allah (subhana wa ta’ala) made the things of this world for you to use. But when water enters the same boat it sinks: We need earth for living but Don’t let the love of worldly things enter your heart or it will sink you to death of hell. We need this world to strive for paradise but the same world can easily deviate us into hell fire, may Allah protect us from it. Aameen.

How can one decrease one’s concern for this world? let's visit the grave yard regularly, let's visit the sick ones in hospital regularly, let's listen to the creator's messages in Quran and Sunnah about paradise and hell etc and it will reduce our love for sins. May Allah protect us from the plots of sheitan. Aameen.

When your life doesn't look like mercy from Allah remember what Khidr did.

- Broke the boat
- Killed a young boy
- Built a wall for people who didn't treat him and Musa عليه السلام well.

Wisdom behind what didn't seem like mercy.

◼️ Khidr damaged the ship that belonged to a few poor people working in the sea. A king was behind them seizing every ship by force. So by making it defective, he had saved it for its owners.

◼️ Khidr killed the young boy because his parents were believers, and there was a fear that the boy would oppress them by his rebellion and disbelief. So Allah planned to take him away and give them another child instead who would be more righteous and kind.

◼️ Khidr built a wall in a city where people shunned him, because it belonged to two orphan boys in the town. A treasure was hidden under it which also belonged to them; their father had been a righteous man, and Allah intended to safeguard their treasure. Building the wall ensured that the treasure would be protected till they reached maturity.

What seems like "hardship" is part of a much greater plan for you. And no matter how it looks right now, in it is khayr for you, you never imagined. What eyes of the "seen" see as hardship, eyes of the "unseen" know the hidden blessing in it.

I know no one ever wants to face a crisis.

No one ever wishes to receive any painful, devastating news. But here’s a fact: There will come a day when will be on the receiving end of bad news.

As difficult as it may be, even in the storm of hardship, pain and loss, it is important to try and envision a future designed by Allah with all its possibilities, as this will go a long way in keeping your tawakkul alive, this attitude will help you survive and live your life in peace.

❝..Allah knows but you don't know.❞
{Surah Al Baqarah 2: Verse 216}

Breath, step back and submit to Allah's plan for you. Tell your heart, there is khayr in this that I cannot see right now. Khayr for my duniya and for my akhira.

Rasulallah ﷺ said Jannah is made up of 120 rows. 80 of those rows are the Ummah of Sayyiduna Muhammad ﷺ. May Allah make us and our parents from amongst them.
