Re: are you afraid to be home alone?

"Allah has sent down the best statement: a consistent Book wherein is reiteration. The skins shiver therefrom of those who fear their Lord; then their skins and their hearts relax at the remembrance of Allah " [Surah Az-Zumar - 39:23]
 
Re: are you afraid to be home alone?

Woops.. Was meant to put this in the above post too.

"Those who have believed and whose hearts are assured by the remembrance of Allah . Unquestionably, by the remembrance of Allah hearts are assured." [Surah Ar-Ra'd - 13:28]
 
Re: are you afraid to be home alone?

Surah Baqarah is like a two edged sword... one it kicks out the jinns and secondly it brings down tranquilty to the house.

Challenge for mr squiggle to see if he can find both the hadith im refering to in the above statement... :)

;D I found the first bit about kicking out shaytaans, but can't find the bit about it bringing tranquility, I really never knew that :omg:

anyway I got 50% of the challenge right :)


Abu Huraira reported that the Messenger of Allah (salAllahu alayhi wasalam) said, “Do not turn your houses into graves. Shaitan is barred from any house in which Surat al-Baqarah (2) is recited.” [Muslim 780, 4: 1707]

please show me the hadith on tranquility I am eager to see it :p
 
Re: are you afraid to be home alone?

there are three hadith in fact... the one you mentioned then there is another one that shaytan does not enter the house for 3 days in which surah Baqarah is recited. (ahmed)

"Imam Ahmad recorded that Al-Bara' said: "A man recited Al-Kahf and there was an animal in the house which began acting in a nervous manner. He looked, and saw a fog or cloud overhead. He mentioned this to the Prophet , who said:

(Keep on reciting so and so, for this is the tranquillity which descends when one reads Qur'an or because of reading Qur'an;) This was also recorded in the Two Sahihs. This man who recited it was Usayd bin Al-Hudayr, as we have previously mentioned in our Tafsir of Surat Al-Baqarah. "(Tafsir Ibn Kathir)

im sure ive read the same about surah baqarah but will post if i find it... insha Allah
 
Re: are you afraid to be home alone?

I have noticed there is more laughter/joy in our house after Baqrah has been played and there's more like happyness and feeling of ease/peace.

and people are chilled out and tempers don't flare.

I IS PLAYING KAHF NOW :)

Thats what i and most people who have tried it have said...

the only issue is there are some things that prevent angels and the mercy of Allah entering the house and that is dog, bell, pictures of human or animals, haram stuff like magazines, boollywood films, music etc

hmm what about the tv?? that would stop angels from entering if haraam stuff is being shown like EastEnders and other stuff innit?

do you think the images shown on the tv would prevent the angels from entering?

but the tv is like video guess and not pictures. :hmm:
 
Re: are you afraid to be home alone?

The TV is a instrument that can be used for good or evil. so its not inherently wrong.

Avoid East Enders, i would find it hard to find any scholar who can justify it being halal to watch. better to use ones times watching or listening to better stuff than fantasy lives of kuffar.
 
Re: are you afraid to be home alone?

Just to bring the thread back to the topic... man remind me never sleep alone in a house... except after reading the whole of surah Baqarah,

boy were the jinns having a feild day...

It was narrated that ‘Umar ibn al-Khattaab (may Allaah be pleased with him) said:" No man should travel alone or sleep in a house on his own.”

Classed as saheeh by al-Albaani in al-Silsilah al-Saheehah (1/130).

Imam Ahmad was asked about a man spending the night alone. He said: I prefer him to avoid that. Quoted from al-Adaab al-Shar’iyyah (1/428).

Shaykh al-Albaani said in his commentary on this hadeeth in al-Saheehah:

Perhaps the hadeeth refers to travelling in the deserts or wilderness where the traveller rarely sees anyone. It does not include travel nowadays on paved and well-travelled roads. And Allaah knows best.

Re: are you afraid to be home alone?

nope not scared its actually fun being alone :P
 
Re: are you afraid to be home alone?

:wa:

Yep. I've been home alone many times. At first I was sacred. Once I was out and came home late. When I went inside the house I switched all the lights on, looked under the bed, inside the wardrobes etc just incase someone was hiding inside lol. But yh, now I'm not scared, alhamdulillaah :D
 
Re: are you afraid to be home alone?

Sometimes I get the feeling that some presence is lurking, and in my mind pictures and images of devils etc that I have seen on TV and films...make me shiver and I get scared a little and quickly find a way out.......other times like if your at work or something I just bear with it.

As mentioned regarding Eastenders...I think this has got to be the worst soap I use to watch....in it, it has every type of indecent story line....and some you would thought have never existed...I wonder what purpose this films serves and why lots of muslims "love it"...even though it is the opitimay or exact oppposite of Islam...and in gact it goes agains most normal peoples moral standards....but why do they watch?:heated:
 
Re: are you afraid to be home alone?

No not at all, I'm fine home alone Alhamdulillah. :)

May Allah SWT help us overcome our fears. Ameen
 
Re: are you afraid to be home alone?

I enjoy the quiet time when I am home alone... it gives me time for myself, and then I am in a good mood when my husband comes home and we can enjoy our evening together. :)
 
Re: are you afraid to be home alone?

Alhumdulillah I've never been scared to be home alone.

My parents used to leave us home when we were young. My brothers & sisters were scared when they heard something upstairs. They used to say someone is upstairs - go and check. I used to take my cricket bat or a walking stick and go upstairs - just in case. No use acting like a hero. Imagine someone was upstairs, they will attack you no matter what.

Come to think of it, I still can't understand why we had that walking stick. No one in my family uses it. It used to be under the sofa.

Sometimes you hear things and it makes you think as if your losing the plot. The amount of times I used to go up and down the house just to see if anyone was there. But there never was. Maybe it was the Jinn.

ALLAH(SWT) knows best.
