To introduce myself, If no one minds, I'll just copy my introduction from another forum.
I joined this forum because I have always enjoyed studying Islam, and have had some dear friends who were Muslim in the past. I wanted to find a place where I could study more and interact with others. Thank you for allowing me here.
Mind if I share one of my favorite surah's from the Quran?
Surah 94
1 Have we not expanded your breast?
2 And removed from you your burden
3 Which galled your back?
4 And raised high the esteem in which you are held?
5 So, truly, with every difficulty, there is relief:
6 Truly, with every difficulty there is relief.
7 Therefore, when you are free, still labour hard,
8 And to your Lord turn your attention.
Thank you for the welcome, Gossamer Skye & Seekerofjannah.
Gossamer Skye, that is a beautiful Surah also. Thank you for sharing it with me here. There are some really beautiful YouTube videos with the Surah recitations.
25:36 And the true servants of the Most Merciful are those who walk the earth with humility and when the ignorant address them, they respond with words of peace.
May you enjoy your stay on here, and carry on gaining beautiful Knowledge, and benefit yourself and others from it InshaAllaah (God Willing)....
MashaAllaah nice surah..
Peace be to you!
"Allah! La ilaha illa Huwa (none has the right to be worshipped but He), Al-Hayyul-Qayyum (the Ever Living, the One Who sustains and protects all that exists).".."[Al Qur'aan 3:2]
^Indeed it's a beautiful Surah. I thought to quote you this:
From Qutaadah ibn al-Nu’maan (may Allaah be pleased with him) who said that a man stayed up to worship Allaah at the time of the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) just before dawn and recited “Qul huwa Allaahu ahad,” but did not recite anything else. In the morning, the man came to the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) and told him about this, thinking that perhaps he was not doing enough. The Messenger of Allaah (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said: “By the One in Whose hand is my soul, it is equivalent to one-third of the Qur’aan.” (al-Bukhaari, 4627).
‘Aa’ishah reported that the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) sent a man in charge of a small military campaign, and when he recited Qur’aan whilst leading his companions in prayer, he would always end with Qul huwa Allaahu ahad. When they came back, (his companions) mentioned that to the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him), who told them to ask him why he did that. So they asked him, and he said, “Because it is a description of the Most Merciful, and I love to recite it.” The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said: “Tell him that Allaah loves him.” (Reported by al-Bukhaari, 6827)
Abu Hurayrah reported that the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) heard a man reciting Qul huwa Allaahu ahad, and said, “It is his right.’ They asked, ‘O Messenger of Allaah, what is his right?’ He said, ‘Paradise is his right.’ (Reported by Imaam Ahmad, 7669)
Those who believe and obscure not their belief by wrongdoing, theirs is safety; and they are rightly guided. (6:86)
Behold! verily on the friends of Allah there is no fear, nor shall they grieve. (10:62)
_muslim_ I have heard the first one, but not the second and third. Thank you for sharing. I will confess that my knowledge of the hadiths are one of my weakest areas and honestly not something I have ever studied, although one day I intend to.
