“Our Lord! Do not make us a test”

Originally posted on YasSarNal QuR'aN:

We Muslims are taught two beautiful du’aas in the Quran in relation to the Kuffar and the evil-doing people. In the present global scenario, I feel this du’aa MUST become a definite part of our daily supplications. As the du’aa is of utmost importance, the need to understand the deeper meaning of this du’aa is even more greater.

As Dhul Hijjah is round the corner…..

After Ramadhaan, the global Muslims really crave for this blessed month to come and bring sunshine in their life.

The happiness felt among Muslims to welcome the Best Ten Days of the Year knows no bounds.

As this blessed month is fast approaching us, I am making Dhul Hijjah as the Home Page so that it acts as a reminder to the visitors/subscribers of this blog, Inshaa’Allah.

Baarakallaahu Feekum.

When a sunnah is replaced by a bid’ah, isn’t it a terrible loss?

The Adhkaarأذكار or supplications after Tasleem is from the established Sunnah of Rasoolullaah sal-lal-laahu-alaihi-wa-sallam.

Tasleem, by the way, is to end the Salah by saying Assalamu Alaikum wa Rahmatullah, Assalamu Alaikum wa Rahmatullah.

If you are an Imaam (the one who leads prayers) you need to take time not only for yourself but also facilitate things to those who are being led by you in the congregational Salah.

As we enter the Blessed last Ten Days…..

Dear brothers and sisters, Assalamu Alaikum wa Rahmatullah.

Check out the new Home Page that is done in view of the Laylatul Qadr and the last Ten Days of Ramadhaan.

Jazakallaahu Khayra for visiting this blog. I am thankful to you for this honour.

All Praise belongs to Allah alone.

Sal-lal-laahu ‘Alaa Muhammad, Sal-lal-laahu ‘Alaihi Wa Sallam.

Maximize the Last 10 Days of Ramadhaan

PS: Check out the new Home Page in view of Laylatul Qadr, Inshaa’Allah. Thank you. Jazakallaahu Khayra.

Br. Abdul Malik Mujahid has done things easy for those finding it difficult to decide as to what to do and what not during the Last Ten Days of Ramadhaan.

The pointers suggested by him are sufficient enough for anyone wishing to take advantage of the glorious days and nights of the blessed month of Ramadhaan. Read on to act upon……Inshaa’Allah.

Eleven Things A Muslim Should Do Daily

What you do matters. Try to do these things in a sincere and committed way.

Your life here and hereafter will be successful, Inshaa’Allah.

When Tears Speak Louder Than Words!

Here is some relevant news report from Mount Arafah by Arab News, Saudi Arabia’s popular newspaper:  

A white sea of faithful surged from Mina to Arafat as dawn broke on the second day of the five-day event. Waves of men in seamless white robes and veiled women in long dresses joined voices in a crescendo chanting Labbaik Allahumma Labbaik (O God, here I am answering your call).  

The pilgrims were completely lost to their surroundings in a fervor of religious enthusiasm. Many had tears streaming down their cheeks while others raised their faces to the sky, beseeching Allah for forgiveness and mercy. 

Virtues of Tahleel, Tahmeed and Tasbeeh

Presenting an extremely rewarding Zikr incorporating the great Tahleel, Tahmeed and Tasbeeh. 

Being h e a r t l i n e with Allah!

The interest and involvement one finds in staying and working online cannot be found when you work offline. For when you are online, you are connected to, served by or available through a system.

Connecting with one’s heart is to be online with Allah.

Even though the terms online and hotline were not specifically used in 7th century as they are used and understood now in the computer-savvy 21st century but the fact remains that the Qur’an recognized its importance 14 centuries ago! 

A Journey with Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him)

An informative e-book in view of Ramadhaan. I uploaded this in my Seerah blog a week ago but somehow forgot :( to include here.

If you haven’t downloaded it yet, please proceed to do the same, Inshaa’Allah. 

3 years, and miles to go before I die!

Assalamu Alaikum wa Rahmatullah wa Barakaatuh.

Alhamdulillah, this blog has completed three years since its launch and establishment.

When I initiated this blog, I was not sure how it will go but This is Only from the Grace and Mercy of My Lord that I am able to manage and keep the pot boiling.

I am extremely grateful to Almighty Allah for having blessed me with this expressive medium to write something out of the knowledge that He has provided me with. 

Heart check-up!

Heart is crucial for life. And it is very much crucial for living a conscious Islamic life. Presenting this post in the form of picture images, I pray to Allah to bestow peace and tranquility upon us, and especially on all those who happen to be the victims of oppression. Aameen. 

E-book

Through blog statistics I find that the Reflections on ‘Hasbunallahu Wa Ni’mal Wakeel’ is the most sought after post, alhamdulillah.

I am presenting this post along with another post on ‘Ni’mal Wa Ni’man Naseer’ in the form of pdf. 

Ni’mal Maula Wa Ni’man Naseer!

Today (1st Muharram 1434), I would like to discuss on this very popular statement: Ni’mal Maula Wa Ni’man Naseer! This statement is generally said immediately after yet another most inspiring statement: Hasbunallahu Wa Ni’mal Wakeel! 

Hasbunallahu Wa Ni’mal Wakeel, Ni’mal Maula Wa Ni’man Naseer! 

These two phrases/statements are mentioned separately in different Surahs in the Qur’an. The meaning and the context of these two statements are so striking that we notice many among Muslims uttering and proclaiming them together. While it is not ‘a must’ to say them together, yet the miraculous beauty of the Qur’anic words weaves a tapestry in the canvas of one’s mind! Subhanallah! 

Things to Do on the Day of Arafah

 

According to one authentic hadeeth ‘Hajj is Arafah’. Therefore, the Day of Arafah is of great importance and significance. We need to at least take care of the following things on the Day of Arafah, Inshaa’Allah:

Takbeer, Tahleel, Tahmeed and Tasbeeh

Right from the beginning of his mission as the Last and Final Messenger of Allah to mankind down to his last breath, Prophet Muhammad Sal-lal-laahu-alaihi-wa-sallam, has taught us hundreds of du’aas (supplications) and ways to remember and glorify Allah (adhkaar). Du’aas and Adhkaar that are simple, yet splendid! Mind-boggling, yet insightful! Lucid, yet marvelous!  Precise, yet comprehensive! Humble, yet piercing!  We have no choice but to marvel at this glorious Prophet’s humility and worship towards his Creator. 

A beautiful hadeeth on Qiyamul Layl

Life is like an ice-cube. It melts in no time!

See how quick Ramadhaan came and how fast it is moving away from us……..!

Sort of reminder, thought of recalling this beautiful hadeeth on Qiyamul Layl.

Approaching the Qur’an

‘How to approach the Qur’an’ is an informative book authored by Dr. Yusuf al Qaradawi. 

Ramadhaan Mubarak!

Some of the relevant posts from the past are presented here.

I wish all my dear readers, sisters and brothers, RAMADHAAN MUBARAK :) 

Ramadhaan Presentation

This is my old one but with some additions :)

 

When will this mass slaughter stop?

At the outset, let me say that I do not intend to hurt or make fun of anyone. I am addressing this post to everyone’s reason and logic, and not to anyone’s emotions and sentiments. Thank you and Jazakallah Khayr.  

Al Qur’an is a Book whose first chapter begins in the name of Allah and the last chapter ends with seeking refuge in Allah. Between these two, flows life as such.

How fortunate are those Muslims who are able to read the Qur’an in an excellent manner. Also, how fortunate are those Muslims who are able to listen to the Qur’an being read in an excellent way.
