This article focuses on how one can repent for the sins committed, and to earn Allah’s pleasure for asking for such forgiveness. As Allah the Most Caring assures us:

“Say: O My slaves who have transgressed against themselves (by committing evil deeds and sins)! Despair not of the Mercy of Allah, verily, Allah forgives all sins. Truly, He is Oft-Forgiving, Most Merciful.”
(Surah Az-Zumar 39:53)

He also says in the Quran:

“Indeed Allah loves those who repent and purify themselves.”
(Surah Al Baqarah, 2:222)

Praise be to Allah.

Allah is the Most Merciful, Most Compassionate, and He is the Most Merciful of those who show mercy. His Mercy encompasses all things. Allah says (interpretation of the meaning):

“… and My Mercy embraces all things.”
(7:156)

In Saheeh Muslim it is narrated from Abu Hurayrah (RadiyAllahu Anhu) that the Prophet (SallAllahu Alayhi Wa Sallam) said:

40) Zikr does not allow one’s heart to suffer from forgetfulness, which leads to ignoring one’s ultimate interest.

41) Zikr is just like a tree whose fruit is realization of Almighty Allah Ta’ala. More a person engages himself in the Zikr, stronger shall grow the root of this tree and more abundant will it bear the fruits.

42) Zikr of Almighty Allah Ta’ala promotes nearness to Him and thereby one earns His constant patronage. It is mentioned in the Quran.

Hafiz Ibn Qayyim (RA), a well-known Muhadith (A scholar of traditions), has written an authentic book, ‘Al-Waabilus Sayyib’, on the virtues of Zikr, which are more than one hundred and he has listed seventy nine of these, which are briefly given below in the same order. Some of these include multiple benefits, in that case their actual number exceeds more than one hundred:

1) Zikr keeps away the Shaitân and weakens his strength.

2) It is the cause of Almighty Allah Ta’ala’s pleasure.

3) It relieves the mind from anxieties and worries.

The method of Rasoolullaah’s (SallAllahu Alayhi Wa Sallam) teaching was as unique as he himself was. He never discouraged Muslims from asking reasonable questions. Rather, he used to encourage them by commenting that sensible queries are the gateway to learning. Due to such encouragement, many students used to ask him questions. Once, a Muslim visited the noble Prophet (SallAllahu Alayhi Wa Sallam) and requested him:

‘Ya Rasoolallaah! Tell us who is the wisest and most far-sighted among us?’

He (SallAllahu Alayhi Wa Sallam) replied:

Assalamualaikum Wa Rehmatullahi Wa Barkatahu,

I would like to share this article, which is very usefull for everyone.

Well, from last few days, i’m extremely depressed, so, I was looking for some solution, and I found this article.

… Feeling down in the dumps, depressed, having the blues:

Ilm (Knowledge) –

The importance of Knowledge can be understood through various Quranic verses and traditions. For example “Allah will exalt those of you who believe, and those who are given knowledge, in high degrees” (58:11).

Isa bin Muhammad (Alaihir Rahmah) says that I once saw Abu Bakr bin Mujahid (Alaihir Rahmah) after his death in a dream reading the Holy Quran. I asked, “You have died, how are you reciting,” upon which he said, “After every Salah and finishing of the Quran, I would pray “O Allah, give me the Taufiq to recite the Quran in my grave” and that is why I am praying.” (Faizan-e-Sunnat)

Ahadith

The Holy Prophet (SallAllahu Alayhi Wa Sallam) said:

1) The best of you is he who learnt the Holy Quran and taught it to others. (Bukhari)

The Last Sermon of the Prophet Muhammad SAW, the greatest speech ever made in the history of mankind:

Prophet Muhammad’s SAW Farewell Sermon / خطبة الودا, Khutbatu l-Wada

9 DhulHijjah 10 AH (9 March 632) at Mount Arafat

Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) undertook his farewell pilgrimage in the year 10 A.H. His farewell pilgrimage to Mecca is one of the most significant historical events in the minds of Muslims, for it was the first and last pilgrimage made by Prophet Muhammad, as well as being the model for performing the fifth pillar of Islam, the Hajj.

Hazrat Ali (RA) was a great man in the history of mankind in general and the history of Islam in particular. He was the cousin and son-in-law of the prophet Muhammad (PBUH) and ruled over the Islamic Caliphate from 656 to 661. He was also known as Hadrat Ali and Ali Ibn Abi Talib. Hazrat Ali (RA) was born on Friday the 13th Rajab. Here are some of his wise and inspirational quotes.

Fear God and you will have no cause to fear any one

Resignation to the Will of God is the cure of the disease of the heart

The word of God is the medicine of the heart

A Moral Story,

There was this king that had 10 wild dogs…
He used them to torture and eat all ministers who made mistakes.

So one of the minister’s once gave an opinion which was wrong, and which the king didn’t like at all… So he ordered that the minister be thrown to the dogs.

So the minister said: “I served you 10 years and you do this???… Please give me 10 days before you throw me in with those dogs!”… So the king agreed…

Do you want to have peace of mind, reassurance, and joy?

You should ask for the forgiveness of Allaah The Almighty. Allaah The Almighty Says (what means): {And [saying], “Seek Forgiveness of your Lord and repent to Him, [and] He Will Let you enjoy a good provision}[Quran 11: 3]

Every marriage – no matter how stressful, boring, or happy it may be – can use certain tips to give it a boost. This post reviews two pieces of advice that you could implement today for a better married life. If you’re not married, you too can benefit from the concepts as they are applicable across the board.

Nabee E Kareem, SallAllahu Alayhi Wa Sallam, was an excellent example of good manners. This facet of his personality was known to Muslims as well as non-Muslims during his life. When the noble Qur’aan declared him to be a role model for high moral character, none of his contemporary disbelievers went on record to disagree with this Qur’anic statement.

The extraordinary importance of good manners is clear by the fact that Rasool-e-Akram, SallAllahu Alayhi Wa Sallam, himself used to pray to Allaah to inculcate them in his personality. One of his sincere Du’aas reads:

BE A MODEL TO YOUR CHILDREN:

Actions speak louder than words. No pieces of advice of a parent refrains child from backbiting if the child often hears the parents backbiting themselves. When the child is exposed to these vices, it is very likely that he will grow up following the same. A good example from the parent works even without words. Although it may seem a huge task to be able to be a good model for the child, parents should know that it is the only way they can really teach their children. No other way is as effective as mentioned.

RELATE STORIES:

Everyone looks towards his/her future life either by planning or by daydreaming about what can happen. Human beings live with hope and struggle. A mother feeds her baby with hope. A farmer plants his seeds with hope. A young man marries with hope of a family and prosperous future and independence from his family.

On our journey towards handling the ‎problem of sexual desires that embitter the life of many Muslim ‎young men, let us discuss an important issue that will help you ‎release yourself from the captivity of sexual desires, namely, ‎”closing the open doors”.‎

Below are the 12 rights of a muslim wife upon her husband in Islam:

1. To spend upon her, to feed her. Not to be excessive in this and not to be stingy.

2. To be kind to her. The Prophet (sallallaahu ‘alayhi wa sallam) said: “The best among you is the one who is the best towards his wife.”

3. Not to harm her.

4. To be loving to her, examples:

– Loving to her with your tongue. Nice words, tell her you love her. Tell her how good she looks.

– If your wife asks you to get her something and you can’t get it , say I’ll get it inshaa’Allaah.
