    The Best of the Best (OP)




    Discovered this email from my friend, thought i'll share it with the ummah!! plz read it and comment it inshalah and add any other examples!!!

    When we are told that 'this is the best' or 'that was the greatest' or 'this will bring the most benefit' etc, have you ever thought who on Earth gave such people/editors the authority to tell us that? In an age when we have a plethora of 'Top 10' or 'Top 100' lists on everything from cars to films, from foods to places, one wonders where is that list that will really provide some benefit to us in this current short life and the next very long one.

    Well, wait no more. Below, from a choice of hundreds of narrations from our beloved Prophet Muhammad, peace be upon him, xactly how to become the best, how to have the most excellent characteristics, what really will prove most beneficial for us to know, what really are the greatest things to think about and hope for and indeed, how to become the most beloved of people to our Magnificent Creator, Allah, the Most High.

    Muhammad, peace be upon him, told us:

    1. "The best of the Muslims is he from whose hand and tongue the Muslims are safe." [Muslim]

    2. "The best of people are those with the most excellent character." [Tabarâni, Sahîh]

    3. "The best of people are those that bring most benefit to the rest of mankind." [Dâraqutni, Hasan]

    4. "The best of people are those who are best in fulfilling [rights]." [Ibn Mâjah, Sahîh]

    5. "The best of people during fitnah is a man who takes up the reins of his horse pursuing the enemies of Allah, causing them fear yet they make him fearful too, or a man who secludes himself in the desert fulfilling the rights of Allah upon him." [Hâkim, Sahîh]

    6. "The best of mankind is my generation, then those that follow them and then those that follow them. Then there shall come a people after them who will become avaricious, who will love gluttony, and who will give witness before they are asked for it." [Tirmidhî, Sahîh]

    7. "The best of people are those who live longest and excel in their deeds, whereas the worst of people are those who live longest and corrupt their deeds." [Tirmidhî, Sahîh]

    8. "The best of women are those that please him [her husband] when he sees her, obeys him when she is commanded, and who does not secretly betray him with regards to herself and her money in that which he dislikes." [Ahmad, Sahîh]

    9. "The best of women are those that please you when you see them, obey you when commanded, and who safeguard themselves and your money in your absence." [Tabarâni, Sahîh]

    10. "The best of marriages are the easiest ones." [Abu Dâwûd, Sahîh]


    The BEST of the BEST

    All i hope is for my mums happiness.Shes my light.Shes my dunya.Her tears are my weakness.Her sadness breaks my heart.She is my mirror.A mirror that keeps me alive.Without her am nothing.shes my saaya.How can i leave her.I pray to Allah(swt) to keep me with her forever inshAllah.

    The Best of the Best

    The Best of the Best
    Abu Eesa Niamatullah


    Have you ever wondered to yourself what it actually means to be the best? When we are told that ‘this is the best’ or ‘that was the greatest’ or ‘this will bring the most benefit’ etc, have you ever thought who on Earth gave such people/editors the authority to tell us that?
    In an age when we have a plethora of ‘Top 10’ or ‘Top 100’ lists on everything from cars to films, from foods to places, one wonders where is that list that will really provide some benefit to us in this current short life and the next very long one.

    Well, wait no more. Below, from a choice of hundreds of narrations from our beloved Prophet Muhammad (sallallahu ‘alayhi wa sallam) you can find 100 hadith, in no particular order of merit, detailing ways on exactly how to become the best, how to have the most excellent characteristics, what really will prove most beneficial for us to know, what really are the greatest things to think about and hope for and indeed, how to become the most beloved of people to our Magnificent Creator, Allah jalla wa ‘ala.

    No more subjectivity, no more empty statements; just the divine criteria of what really is the best as developed by the very best himself, Muhammad al-Mustapha (‘alayhis-salatu was-salam). For an explanation of the meaning of each of these hadith, you can visit here.

    So go on, don’t be ordinary. Don’t be common. Don’t be typical.

It is more beloved to me that I walk with my brother Muslim in his time of need than I stay secluded in the mosque for a month. Whoever holds back his anger, Allah will cover his faults and whoever suppresses his fury while being able to execute it, Allah will fill his heart with satisfaction on the Day of Standing. Whoever walks with his brother Muslim in need until he establishes that for him, Allah will establish his feet firmly on the day when all feet shall slip. Indeed, bad character ruins deeds just as vinegar ruins honey.” (Tabarani, Hasan)

    Top 100 .... !!!

    The best of the best


    Have you ever wondered to yourself what it actually means to be the best?

    When we are told that 'this is the best' or 'that was the greatest' or 'this will bring the most benefit' etc, have you ever thought who on Earth gave such people/editors the authority to tell us that? In an age when we have a plethora of 'Top 10' or 'Top 100' lists on everything from cars to films, from foods to places, one wonders where is that list that will really provide some benefit to us in this current short life and the next very long one.

    Well, wait no more. Below, from a choice of hundreds of narrations from our beloved Prophet Muhammad, peace be upon him, you can find 100 hadîth, in no particular order of merit, detailing ways on exactly how to become the best, how to have the most excellent characteristics, what really will prove most beneficial for us to know, what really are the greatest things to think about and hope for and indeed, how to become the most beloved of people to our Magnificent Creator, Allah, the Most High.

    No more subjectivity, no more empty statements; just the divine criteria of what really is the best as developed by the very best himself, Muhammad al-Mustapha, upon whom be peace.

    So go on, don't be ordinary. Don't be common. Don't be typical ...

    Be the best.

    7. "The best of people are those who live longest and excel in their deeds, whereas the worst of people are those who live longest and corrupt their deeds." [Tirmidhî, Sahîh]

"The most beloved of people according to Allah is he who brings most benefit, and the most beloved of deeds according to Allah the Mighty, the Magnificent, is that you bring happiness to a fellow Muslim, or relieve him of distress, or pay off his debt or stave away hunger from him. It is more beloved to me that I walk with my brother Muslim in his time of need than I stay secluded in the mosque for a month. Whoever holds back his anger, Allah will cover his faults and whoever suppresses his fury while being able to execute it, Allah will fill his heart with satisfaction on the Day of Standing. Whoever walks with his brother Muslim in need until he establishes that for him, Allah will establish his feet firmly on the day when all feet shall slip.

    Re: The Best of the Best

    Masha Allah thats was a lovely read. I liked many of the hadiths. I really liked this :

    40. “The most beloved of people according to Allâh is he who brings most benefit, and the most beloved of deeds according to Allâh the Mighty, the Magnificent, is that you bring happiness to a fellow Muslim, or relieve him of distress, or pay off his debt or stave away hunger from him. It is more beloved to me that I walk with my brother Muslim in his time of need than I stay secluded in the mosque for a month. Whoever holds back his anger, Allâh will cover his faults and whoever suppresses his fury while being able to execute it, Allâh will fill his heart with satisfaction on the Day of Standing.

Indeed, bad character ruins deeds just as vinegar ruins honey.” (Tabarâni, Hasan)

    Have your ever wondered to yourself what it actually means to be the best? When we are told that this is the best or that was the greatest or this will bring the most benefit etc, have you ever thought who on Earth gave such people/editors the authority to tell us that? In an age when we have a plethora of Top 10 or Top 100 lists on everything from cars to films, from foods to places, one wonders where is that list that will really provide some benefit to us in this current short life and the next everlasting one.
