Narrated Abu Huraira (Radi-Allahu 'anhu):Allah's Apostle (Sallallahu 'Alaihi Wa Sallam) said, "The example of abeliever is that of a fresh green plant the leaves of which move inwhatever direction the wind forces them to move, and when the wind becomesstill, it stands straight.



Such is the similitude of the believer: He isdisturbed by calamities (but like the fresh plant he regains his normalstate soon). And the example of a disbeliever is that of a pine tree (whichremains) hard and straight till Allah cuts it down when He wills."

Bukhari Hadith no: 105
Narrated / Authority Of: Ibn Umar
Once a person asked Allah's Apostle about the night prayer. Allah's Apostle replied, "The night prayer is offered as two Rakat followed by two Rakat and so on and if anyone is afraid of the approaching dawn (Fajr prayer) he should pray one Raka and this will be a Witr for all the Rakat which he has prayed before." Nafi' told that 'Abdullah bin 'Umar used to say Taslim between (the first) two Rakat and (the third) odd one in the Witr prayer, when he wanted to attend to a certain matter (during that interval between the Rakat).

1355. 'Abdullah ibn 'Amr ibn al-'As said,
"The Prophet, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, said,
'Anyone who is killed defending his property is a martyr.'" [Agreed upon]


1356. Abu'l-A'war Sa'id ibn Zayd ibn 'Amr ibn Nufayl, one of the ten who were promised the Garden, who said,
"I heard the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, say,
'Anyone who is killed defending his property is a martyr.
Anyone who is killed defending his life is a martyr.
Anyone who is killed defending his deen is a martyr.
Anyone who is killed defending his family is a martyr." [Abu Dawud and at-Tirmidhi]


1357. Abu Hurayra said, "A man came to the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, and said,
'Messenger of Allah, what is your opinion about a man who comes wanting to seize my property?'
He said, 'Do not give him your property.'
He said, 'What is your opinion if he fights me?'
He said, 'Then fight him.'
He said, 'What is your opinion if he kills me?'
He said, 'Then you will be a martyr.'
He said, 'What is your opinion if I kill him?'
He said, 'Then he will be in the Fire.'" [Muslim]

Rasul Allah (sal Allahu alaihi wasallam) said: “Ask yourself for a decision, ask your heart for a decision (saying it three times.) Righteousness is that with which the soul is tranquil and the heart is tranquil, but sin is that which rouses suspicion in the soul and is perplexing in the breast, even if people give you a decision in its favour.” [Mishkat]

Everybody has within them the sense to distinguish right from wrong. And each person will be held accountable for using this sense. It is possible to twist facts and get people to give the decision that you want to hear, but if your heart is not at peace with the decision then know that it is most likely sinful for you to act on it. Unfortunately, if a person sins enough then the heart becomes dead and the ability to feel disquiet dies.

Rasul Allah (sal Allahu alaihi wasallam) said: “Leave that which causes you doubt for that which does not cause you doubt.” [Tirmidhi]

Tawheed - 29th Rabi al-Awwal 1433 (21st February 2012)

Narrated Abu Huraira (Radi-Allahu 'anhu):

The Prophet (Sallallahu 'Alaihi Wa Sallam) said, "Allah said, 'I have
prepared for My righteous slaves (such excellent things) as no eye has ever
seen, nor an ear has ever heard nor a human heart can ever think of.' "

Bukhari Vol. 9 : No. 589

Volume 7, Book 64, Number 265:



Narrated Abu Huraira:


The Prophet SAW said, "The one who looks after a widow or a poor person is like a
Mujahid (warrior) who fights for Allah's Cause, or like him who performs prayers
all the night and fasts all the day."

Rasul Allah (sal Allahu alaihi wa sallam) said: “Verily, what reaches the momin of his good works and good acts, after his death, is the knowledge (benefitted from)… and a righteous child which he has left (behind him), or a book which he has given to inherit, or a place of worship which he has built, or a house for the homeless which he has built, or a canal which he has caused to be dug, or an act of charity which he has done out of his wealth while in his health and life. (The good effects thereof) reach him (even) after his death.” [Bayhaqi, Ibn Majah]

Ask yourself what legacy you are leaving behind.

Have you made an effort to leave behind any sadaqa jaariya?

Did you do it for the sake of Allah's pleasure?

Allah (subhana wa ta'ala) only rewards our efforts when we do deeds for His pleasure alone. Did you do good deeds so people would recognize you, praise you or reward you? To the extent that your motive is other than Allah's pleasure, your reward in the akhirah is diminished. For why should Allah reward you for something you didn't do for Him in the first place? Try to do good deeds secretly in order to preserve the benefit of your good deeds for the akhirah, when you will really need it.

Tawheed - 30th Rabi al-Awwal 1433 (22nd February 2012)




Narrated Abu Huraira (Radi-Allahu 'anhu):



Allah's Apostle (Sallallahu 'Alaihi Wa Sallam) said, "Allah says, 'If My
slave intends to do a bad deed then (O Angels) do not write it unless he
does it; if he does it, then write it as it is, but if he refrains from
doing it for My Sake, then write it as a good deed (in his account).



(On the other hand) if he intends to go a good deed, but does not do it, then write a good deed (in his account), and if he does it, then write it for him (in his account) as ten good deeds up to seven-hundred times.' "

Bukhari Volume 9, Book 86, Number 87:

That Abu Bakr wrote for him, Zakat regulations which Allah's Apostle SAW had made compulsory, and wrote that one should neither collect various portions (of the property) nor divide the property into various portions in order to avoid paying Zakat.

Tawheed - 1st Rabi al-Thani 1433 (23rd February 2012)


Narrated Abu Huraira (Radi-Allahu 'anhu):


Allah's Apostle (Sallallahu 'Alaihi Wa Sallam) said, "A man who never did
any good deed, said that if he died, his family should burn him and throw
half the ashes of his burnt body in the earth and the other half in the
sea, for by Allah, if Allah should get ahold of him, He would inflict such
punishment on him as He would not inflict on anybody among the people.




But Allah ordered the sea to collect what was in it (of his ashes) and
similarly ordered the earth to collect what was in it (of his ashes).


Then Allah said (to the recreated man), 'Why did you do so?'




The man replied, 'For being afraid of You, and You know it (very well).' So Allah forgave
him."

On the authority of Abu Hurayrah (may Allah be pleased with him), who said
that the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) said that Allah the Almighty
said:

There are three (1) whose adversary I shall be on the Day of Resurrection: a
man who has given his word by Me and has broken it; a man who has sold a free
man (2) and has consumed the price; and a man who has hired a workman, has
exacted his due in full from him and has not given him his wage.


(1) i.e. types of men.


(2) i.e. a man who has made a slave of another and has sold him.

Hadith Qudsi 20:
On the authority of Abu Hurayrah (may Allah be pleased with him), who said that the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) said:
The gates of Paradise will be opened on Mondays and on Thursdays, and every servant [of Allah] who associates nothing with Allah will be forgiven, except for the man who has a grudge against his brother. [About them] it will be said: Delay these two until they are reconciled; delay these two until they are reconciled.

It was related by Muslim (also by Malik and Abu Dawud).

I heard the Prophet (Sallallahu 'Alaihi Wa Sallam) saying, "On the Day of
Resurrection I will intercede and say, 'O my Lord! Admit into Paradise
(even) those who have faith equal to a mustard seed in their hearts.' Such
people will enter Paradise, and then I will say, 'O (Allah) admit into
Paradise (even) those who have the least amount of faith in their hearts.'

Anas then said: As if I were just now looking at the fingers of Allah's
Apostle (Sallallahu 'Alaihi Wa Sallam).

Narrated Abu Sa'id Al-Khudri (Radi-Allahu 'anhu):

The Prophet (Sallallahu 'Alaihi Wa Sallam) said, "Allah will say to the
people of Paradise, 'O the people of Paradise!'



They will say, 'Labbaik, O our Lord, and Sa'daik, and all the good is in Your Hands!'



Allah will say, 'Are you satisfied?'



They will say, 'Why shouldn't we be satisfied O our Lord, as You have given us what You have not given to any of Your created
beings?'

Bukhari Vol. 9 : No. 609

Rasul Allah (sal Allahu alaihi wa sallam) said: “He will not enter Paradise whose neighbour is not secure from his wrongful conduct.” [Muslim]

Make sure that a wedding, construction or other event at your house does not encroach upon the privacy, peacefulness or clean environment of your neighbours or neighbourhood. Does noise from your house disturb your neighbour? Did you park your car in such a way as to cause your neighbour inconvenience? Do you even know who your neighbour is? Rasul Allah (sal Allahu alaihi wa sallam) said: “If you are kind to your neighbour you will be a believer.” [Tirmidhi]

Tawheed - 4th Rabi al-Thani 1433 (26th February 2012)

Narrated Ibn 'Abbas (Radi-Allahu 'anhu):

Regarding the explanation of the Verse:-- '(O Muhammad!) Neither say your
prayer aloud, nor say it in a low tone.' (17.110)

This Verse was revealed while Allah's Apostle (Sallallahu 'Alaihi Wa
Sallam) was hiding himself at Makkah. At that time, when he led his
companions in prayer, he used to raise his voice while reciting the Qur'an;
and if the pagans heard him, they would abuse the Qur'an, its Revealer, and
the one who brought it.

So Allah said to His Prophet (Sallallahu 'Alaihi Wa Sallam): "Neither say
your prayer aloud. i.e., your recitation (of Qur'an) lest the pagans should
hear (it) and abuse the Quran," nor say it in a low tone, "lest your voice
should fail to reach your companions, but follow a way between." (17.110)
