Honey , Milk and strong drinks (IN view of Qurran)

Honey and bee 

 

The bee is an insect who makes its home in the mountains, in trees and in structures erected by man. The bee's home is hexagonal in shapes . There is no looseness in its combs. The bee will have permission to eat from all fruits . Then each bee comes back to its hive . it comes straight back to its home where its offspring and honey are. It makes wax from its wings, and lays eggs from its rear, then the next morning it goes out to the fields again. Allah inspires this weak little creature to travel through the vast fields and feed from every kind of fruit, then gather it for wax and honey, which are some of the best things.In this is a sign for people who think about the might and power of the bee's Creator Who causes all of this to happen. From this they learn that He is the Initiator, the All-Powerful, the All-Wise, the All-Knowing, the Most Generous, the Most Merciful.
Allah said in Al-Nahl :68,69 that your Lord inspired the bee, saying: "Take you habitations in the mountains and in the trees and in what they erect.'' And eat of all fruits, and follow the routes that your Lord made easy for you .'' There comes forth from their bellies, a drink of varying colors, in which there is a cure for men. There is indeed a sign in that for people who reflect.
A cure in honey for diseases(diarrhea')
There is a cure in honey for diseases that people suffer from. It would be the remedy for all diseases. it is the right treatment for every "cold'' disease, because it is "hot'', and a disease should be treated with its opposite.

Hadith

Holy propher (PBUH) said
“Healing is to be found in three things: the cut made by the cupper, or drinking honey, or in branding with fire (cauterizing), but I have forbidden my Ummah to use branding.”
A man came to the Messenger of Allah (PBUH)and said, "My brother is suffering from diarrhea''. He said,
Give him honey to drink. The man went and gave him honey, then he came back and said, "O Messenger of Allah! I gave him honey 

to drink, and he only got worse.'' The Prophet said,
Go and give him honey to drink. So he went and gave him honey, then he came back and said, "O Messenger of Allah! it only made him worse. '' The Prophet said,
Allah speaks the truth and your brother's stomach is lying. Go and give him honey to drink. So he went and gave him honey, and he recovered.'' It is reported in the Two Sahihs from A'ishah (R.A) with her, that the Messenger of Allah used to like sweet things and honey.

Al-Bukhari

Milk

Allah said in Surah Al-Nahl verse No.66,67 that there is indeed a lesson for you in the An'am (cattle). We have made a drink for you out of what is in its belly, from between excretions and blood, pure milk.

 And from the fruits of date palms and grapes, you derive strong drink and a goodly provision. There is indeed a sign in this for those of reason.
For cattle are the creatures which provide a drink from what is in their bellies.in their bellies. it is free of blood, and is pure in its whiteness, taste and sweetness.pure milk is a palatable drink for mankind.

Strong drink

The drinks that people make from the fruits of the date palm and grapevine indicates that it was permissible to drink it before it was forbidden. It also indicates that strong drink derived from dates is the same as strong drink derived from grapes. Also forbidden are strong drinks derived from wheat, barley, corn and honey.
What is strong drink
"Strong drink is the product of these two fruits that is forbidden, and the good provision is what is permitted of them.''
or
"Strong drink is its unlawful, and the goodly provision is its lawful,'' referring to the fruits when they are dried, like dates and raisins, or products derived from them such as molasses, vinegar and wine of grapes, dates.which are permissible to drink before they become strong becomes alcoholic.
There is indeed a sign in this for those of reason. It is appropriate to mention reason here, because it is the noblest feature of man. Hence Allah forbade this Ummah from drinking intoxicants, in order to protect their ability to reason.
Allah says in Surah yaseen 34-36 that We placed gardens of date palms and grapes in it, and We caused springs of water to gush forth in it. So that they may eat of its fruit - while their hands did not make it. Will they not then give thanks Glory be to Him Who created all the pairs of that which the earth produces, as well as their own (human) kind (male and female), and of that which they know not.”

prays of Hazrat Muhammad(PBUH) , Pray of Hazrat Ibrahim (A.S),Hazrat yunas (A.S)

Pray of Hazrat Muhammad (PBUH)

It is proper for whoever supplicates to Allah to also ask for the benefit of his parents and offspring But for what Muhammad pray .
Once Hazrat Muhammad (PBUH) prayed from Allah
“O Allah, Save my Ummah! O, Allah, Save my Ummah! O, Allah, Save my Ummah! 
and cried. Allah said to the angel Jibril, "O Jibril, go to Muhammad, and Your Lord has more knowledge, and ask him what makes him cry.'' Jibril came to the Prophet and asked him, and he repeated to him what he said in his supplication. Allah said, "Go to Muhammad and tell him this; `We will make you pleased with your Ummah, O Muhammad, and will not treat them in a way you dislike.''Most favourite pray of Hazrat Muhammad (PBUH) was
   " Rabana atina fi dunia hasana tan wa fil  akhirat hasana wa qina  azab un nar

Pray of Hazrat Ibrahim (A.S) 

Allah accepted his supplication.

Surah Ibrahim

The first House of worship appointed for mankind was that at Bakkah Makkah, full of blessing. In it are manifest signs, the Maqam of .Ibrahim; whosoever enters it, he attains security
Hazrat Ibrahim (A.S) had two sons Isma`il and Ishaq.﴾ It is well-known that Isma`il was thirteen years older than Ishaq. When Ibrahim took Isma`il and his mother to Makkah, while Isma`il was still young enough to nurse, he supplicated to Allah,
O my Lord! Make this city Makkah a place of peace and security and keep me and my sons away from worshipping idols.

Surah Ibrahim
35. And (remember) when Ibrahim (Abraham) said: "O my Lord! Make this city (Makkah) one of peace and security, and keep me and my sons away from worshipping idols.
36. "O my Lord! They have indeed led astray many among mankind. But whoso follows me, he verily is of me. And whoso disobeys me, - still You are indeed Oft-Forgiving, Most Merciful.
37. "O our Lord! I have made some of my offspring to dwell in an uncultivable valley by Your Sacred House (the Ka'bah at Makkah); in order, O our Lord, that they may perform As-Salat (Iqamat-as-Salat), so fill some hearts among men with love towards them, and (O Allah) provide them with fruits so that they may give thanks.
38. "O our Lord! Certainly, You know what we conceal and what we reveal. Nothing on the earth or in the heaven is hidden from Allah.
39. "All the praises and thanks be to Allah, Who has given me in old age Isma'il (Ishmael) and Ishaque (Isaac). Verily! My Lord is indeed the All-Hearer of invocations.
40. "O my Lord! Make me one who performs As-Salat (Iqamat-as-Salat), and (also) from my offspring, our Lord! And accept my invocation.

Pray of Hazrat Yunus (A.S)

“There is no God but You Glorified be You! Truly, I have been of the wrongdoers'' 

When Yunus found himself in the belly of the fish, he thought that he had died. Then he moved his legs. When he moved his legs, he prostrated where he was, then he called out: `O Lord, I have taken a place of worship to You in a place which no other person has reached.''

Guardian angels

Guardian angels 

There are angels who take turns guarding each human , some by night and some by day. These angels protect each person from harm and accidents. There are also angels who take turns recording the good and evil deeds, some angels do this by day and some by night. 
There are two angels, one to the right and one to the left of each person, recording the deeds. The angel to the right records the good deeds, while the angel to the left records the evil deeds. 
There are also two angels that guard and protect each person, one from the back and one from in front. Therefore, there are four angels that surround each person by day and they are replaced by four others at night, two scribes and two guards. 

In the light of Ra'd (The Thunder):11

Hadith #1

 Holy Prophet (PBUH) said
“Angels take turns around you, some at night and some by day, and all of them assemble together at the time of the Fajr and `Asr prayers. Then those who have stayed with you throughout the night, ascend to Allah Who asks them, and He knows the answer better than they about you, "How have you left My servants'' They reply, "As we have found them praying, we have left them praying.''.

Hadith #2

  Holy Prophet (PBUH) said 
“Verily, every one among you has his companion from the Jinn and his companion from the angels.''
They said, "And you too, O Allah's Messenger'' He said,
“And I too, except that Allah has helped me against him, so he only orders me to do good.”

Muslim

Hadith #3

  The Holy Prophet (PBUH) said
Allah the Exalted said to guardian angels `If my slave intends to perform a good deed, then record it for him as one good deed; if he performs it, then record it for him multiplied ten folds. If he intends to commit an evil act but did not commit it, then record it for him as one good deed, if he left it for My sake. But if he commits it, then write it as one evil deed.

Weighing the deeds on the day

Weighing the deeds on the day

As for what will be placed on the Balance on the Day of Resurrection, 

It has been said that the deeds will be placed on it, even though they are not material objects. Allah will give these deeds physical weight on the Day of Resurrection
It is recorded in the Sahih that Al-Baqarah and Al `Imran will come on the Day of Resurrection in the shape of two clouds, that provide shade, or two lined groups of birds. It is also recorded in the Sahih that the Qur'an will come to its companion who used to recite and preserve it in the shape of a pale-faced young man. He will ask It is "Who are you'' He will reply, "I am the Qur'an, who made you stay up sleeplessly at night and caused you thirst in the day.

Al-Baghawi
A'mbiyaaa' (The Prophets) :47
“And We shall set up the Balances of justice on the Day of Resurrection, then none will be dealt with unjustly in anything. And if there be the weight of a mustard seed, We will bring it. And Sufficient are We to take account”
Surah A’rraf :8 ,9
8. And the weighing on that Day will be the true weighing). So, as for those whose scale (of good deeds) will be heavy, they will be the successful (by entering Paradise.
9. And as for those whose scale will be light, they are those who will lose themselves for their wrongful behavior with (And the weighing), of deeds on the day of  rescurration
Surah Nisaa' (Women):40
“Surely, Allah wrongs not even the weight of a speck of dust, but if there is any good (done), He doubles it, and gives from Him a great reward.”

Surah Aadi-yaat (The Coursers): 6-11
 
“Then as for him whose scale (of good deeds) will be heavy. He will live a pleasant life (in Paradise). But as for him whose scale (of good deeds) will be light. He will have his home in Hawiyah (pit, Hell). And what will make you know what it is (It is) a fiercely blazing Fire!”

Surah Mu'-minuun (The Believers) 101-103
“, when the Trumpet is blown, there will be no kinship among them that Day, nor will they ask of one another. Then, those whose scales (of good deeds) are heavy, they are the successful. And those whose scales (of good deeds) are light, they are those who lose themselves, in Hell will they abide”

Hadith #1
Hazrat Muhammad(PBUH) said
“A young man with fair color and good scent will come to the believer, who will ask, `Who are you' He will reply, `I am your good deeds'. It was also said that the Book of Records that contains the deeds will be weighed.
Hadith#2
A Hadith states that a man will be brought forth and ninety-nine scrolls containing errors and sins will be placed on one side of the balance each as long as the sight can reach. He will then be brought a card on which `La ilaha illallah' will be written.
He will say, "O Lord! What would this card weigh against these day of  rescurration'' Allah will say, "You will not be wronged.'' So the card will be placed on the other side of the Balance,
Behold! The (ninety-nine) scrolls will go up, as the card becomes heavier.

At-Tirmidhi

Hadith #3
“On the Day of Resurrection, a fat man will be brought forth, but he will not weigh with Allah equal to the wing of a mosquito. He then recited the Ayah,
Bani-'Is-raa-'iil (The Children of 'Israel):105
“And on the Day of Resurrection, We shall assign no weight for them.”
Hadis #4
The Prophet said about `Abdullah bin Mas`ud,
“Do you wonder at the thinness of his legs By He in Whose Hand is my soul! They are heavier on the Balance than (Mount) Uhud.”
It is also possible to combine the meanings of these Ayat and Hadiths by stating that all this will truly occur, for sometimes the deeds will be weighed, sometimes the scrolls where they are recorded will be weighed, and sometimes those who performed the deeds will be weighed. Allah knows best.

(3) Queen bilqees and her throne 

part 1  Hazrat suleman and hoopoe

The hoopoe was an expert bird who used to show Hazrat Sulayman (A.S) where water was if he was out in open land and needed water.
The hoopoe would look for water for him in the various strata of the earth, just as a man looks at things on the surface of the earth.He would know just how far below the surface the water was. When the hoopoe showed him where the water was, Hazrat Sulayman (A.S) would command the Jinn to dig in that place until they brought water from the depths of the earth. One day Hazrat Sulayman (A.S) went to some open land and checked on the birds, but he could not see the hoopoe. Hazrat Sulayman (A.S) said: "What is the matter that I see not the hoopoe Or is he among the absentees'' "You are telling us that the hoopoe can see water beneath the ground, 

Hoopoe

but any boy can put seed in a trap and cover the trap with dirt, and the hoopoe will come and take the seed, so the boy can catch him in the trap
I will surely punish him with a severe torment "By plucking his feathers and exposing him to the sun. and leaving him exposed to be eaten by ants.
"When the hoopoe came back, the other birds said to him: "What kept you Hazrat Sulayman (A.S) will surely punish you with a severe torment unless you brings him a clear reason. The hoopoe said, "Then I am saved.''
But the hoopoe stayed not long, he was absent for only a short time. Then he came and said to Sulayman:
`I have come to know something that you and your troops do not know.'and I have come to you from Saba' with true news. I found a woman ruling over them, "This is Bilqis bint Sharahil, the queen of Saba'.''she has been given all things, all the conveniences of this world that a powerful monarch could need.she has a great throne,a tremendous chair adorned with gold and different kinds of jewels and pearls. 
The historians said, "This throne was in a great, strong palace which was high and firmly constructed. In it there were three hundred and sixty windows on the east side, and a similar number on the west, and it was constructed in such a way that each day when the sun rose it would shine through one window, and when it set it would shine through the opposite window. 
And the people used to prostrate to the sun morning and evening. The hoopoe said that he found her and her people worshipping the sun instead of Allah,so they had no guidance. They did not know the way of truth, prostrating only before Allah alone and not before anything that He has created, whether heavenly bodies or anything else. Since the hoopoe was calling to what is good, and for people to worship and prostrate to Allah alone, it would have been forbidden to punish him..

Hazrat suleman and queen of saba

Stories from Qurran

Hazrat suleman and queen of saba

Hazrat suleman and queen of saba

Hoopoe told Hazrat Sulayman(A.S) about the people of Saba' and their queen . Hazrat Sulayman(A.S) said : "We shall see whether you speak the truth or you are one of the liars.'' Go you with this letter of mine and deliver it to them then draw back from them and see what they return. Hazrat Sulayman(A.S) wrote a letter to Queen Bilqis and her people and gave it to the hoopoe to deliver. It was said that he carried it on his wings, as is the way with birds, or that he carried it in his beak. He went to their land and found the palace of Queen Bilqis, then he went to her private chambers and threw the letter through a small window, then he stepped to one side out of good manners. Queen Bilqis was amazed and confused when she saw that, then she went and picked up the letter, opened its seal and read it.

Letter of Hazrat Sulayman (A.S)

It is from Hazrat Sulayman (A.S), and it reads: `In the Name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful; Be you not exalted against me, but come to me submitting as Muslims.'
So she gathered her commanders and ministers and the leaders of her land, and said to them:
"O chiefs! , here is delivered to me a noble letter.'' it was a wondrous thing she had seen, that it was delivered by a bird who threw it to her, then stood aside out of good manners. This was something that no king could do.
Then she read the letter to them.
They knew that it was from Allah's Prophet Hazrat Sulayman(A.S) and that they could not match him. This letter was the utmost in brevity coming straight to the point.
They said: "we have the power and strength, if you want to go to him and fight him.' The matter is yours to decide, so instruct us as you see fit and we will obey. "Bilqis said: kings, when they enter a town, they destroy it and make the most honorable amongst its people the lowest. And thus they do. Then she said: `I will send him a gift befitting for one of his status, and will wait and see what his response will be. Perhaps he will accept that and leave us alone, or he will impose a tax which we can pay him every year. She understood how gift-giving has a good effect on people. she sent him a huge gift of gold, jewels, pearls and other things. It is apparent that Hazrat Sulayman(A.S) did not even look at what they brought at all and did not pay any attention to it. but he turned away and said, rebuking them:He said that they were the ones who were influenced by gifts and presents but he would accept nothing from her except Islam or the sword.'
Hazrat Sulayman(A.S) would come to them with armies that they could not resist. They had no power to match them or resist them.
we shall drive them out from there in disgrace, `we shall drive them out in disgrace from their land.

How flood stopped (stories from Qurran)

How flood stopped (stories from Qurran)

After the storm which came on the nation of Hazrat Nuh (A.S) there was water every where . every thing exept some humans and animals every thing has drowned . Hazrat Nuh (A.S) was very upset . His own son had also drowned in water .
When Allah wanted to stop the flood, He sent a wind upon the face of the earth that caused the water to be still. Then the springs of the earth were closed off from the great flooding and the pouring rain from the sky halted.
The water began decreasing and subsiding until the ship settled on Mount Judi. The People of the Tawrah claim that this occurred during the seventh month and it lasted for seventeen nights. Then, on the first day of the tenth month, Hazrat Nuh saw the mountain tops.
Then after forty more days, Nuh opened the small window in the roof of the ship and he sent a raven out to see what the water had done. However, the raven did not return to him.
Then, he sent a Dove out but it returned to him without finding any land to put its two feet down. He extended his hand out of the ship and the dove grabbed his hand so that Hazrat Nuh (A.S) could pull it back into the ship.
Then, after seven more days passed, he sent the dove out again to investigate for him. The dove returned in the evening with a leaf from an olive tree in its mouth.
From this, Nuh knew that the water had decreased from the face of the earth. He remained in the ship for seven more days before he sent the dove out again.
This time the dove did not return to him, so he knew that the earth had appeared. Thus, a year was completed from the time that Allah sent the flood, until the time of Nuh sending the dove.
The first day of the first month of the second year began when the face of the earth appeared and land became visible. This is when Nuh uncovered the opening of the ship. During the second month of the second year, after twenty six nights.
Allah said
"O Nuh! Come down from the ship with peace from

Hazrat Musa (A.S) ) and Magicians

Hazrat Musa (A.S) ) and Magicians 

mount sinai

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

At time of Hazrat Musa (A,S) magic was the trade of the day and it was widespread and popular.In Islam magic is haram. So it was not work of any messenger of God. But enemies of messangers always thought that messangers are megissions. Similarly People of Fir`awn had the idea that what  Hazrat Musa(PBUH) brought was a type of magic similar to the magic that the sorcerers of their time practiced. Because of this incorrect assumption, they brought all the magicians,
As soon as  Hazrat Musa(A.S) came from Madyan, he demonstrated tremendous miracles and clear proofs for the Truth that he brought. Fir`awn then collected magicians who were scattered throughout Egypt. Fir`awn promised them great rewards. These magicians were very exited to prevail over Hazrat Musa(A.S)  because  that they might become closer to him. Hazrat Musa(A.S)  neither knew any of them nor saw or met them before. Fir`awn knew that, but he claimed otherwise to deceive the ignorant masses of his kingdom, just as Allah described them,
in order to defeat the miracles that he showed them Hazrat Musa(A.S)  said that his appointed meeting is the day of the festival, and let the people assemble when the sun has risen forenoon.'' So Fir`awn withdrew, devised his plot and then came back. The sorcerers came to Fir`awn. They said: "Indeed there will be a good reward for us if we are the victors.'' He said: "Yes, and moreover you will in that case be of the nearest to me.'' 

The magicians were collected to defeat Hazrat Musa(A.S) . Fir`awn told them that he will reward them . He made them hope in acquiring what they wished for and to make them among his private audience and best associates. They said: "Either you throw first, or shall we have the first throw'' Hazrat Musa(A.S) said "Throw you first.'' So when they threw, they bewitched the eyes of the people, and struck terror into them, and they displayed a great trick.
The magicians challenged Hazrat Musa(A.S), when they said, Either you throw first, or shall we have the first throw before you.When the magicians had cast their spell and captured the eyes, the clear truth came, when they waited for it to come, thus making the truth even more impressive to their hearts.
So when they threw, they deceived the eyes and made them think that their trick was real, when it was only an illusion.The magisions threw sticks, and they appeared to be crawling, an illusion that they created with their magic.The magicians were very happy. They thought that then they could defeat Hazrat Musa(A.S). The magic with which they caused making it appear real, whereas it was not real at all. that Hazrat Musa(PBUH) stick swallowed all the ropes and sticks that the magicians threw. The magicians realized that this was from heaven and was by no means magic. They fell in prostration and proclaimed, "We believe in the Lord of all that exists. The Lord of Hazrat Musa(PBUH) and Harun .

Surah Airaf 109 to 122

Lawful and unlawful things

In the name of Allah who is most gracious most merciful 

Lawful and unlawful things

We should not Make unlawful the good things which Allah has made lawful to us and transgress not because Allah does not like the transgressors.
Allah says in Surrah Al-Maida 88 ,91 and 99 that we should eat things which Allah has provided for us lawful and good, and have Taqwa of Allah in Whom we believe.
we should avoid that in order that we may be successful.
Allah forbids us from consuming Khamr and Maysir which is gambling. Shaytan wants only to excite enmity and hatred between us with Khamr and Maysir, and hinder us from the remembrance of Allah and from the prayer. 

 

 

 

 

 

Eating without Allah’s name is haram

It is order of Allah that we should eat of that on which Allah's Name has been mentioned.He has explained to us in detail what is forbidden to us, except under compulsion of necessity And surely, many do lead astray by their own desires through lack of knowledge. Certainly our God knows best the transgressors. 

Slaughtered animals are halal

This is a statement of permission from Allah, for us allowing us to eat the slaughtered animals were in His Name was mentioned when slaughtering them. It is understood from it that He has not allowed that over which Allah's Name was not mentioned when slaughtering. Allah also says in surah Inam 121 that slaughtered animals are not lawful when Allah's Name is not mentioned over them -- even if slaughtered by a Muslim.similarly he says in
Al-Maida : 4 that eat of what they we trained hunting dogs or birds of prey catch for us, but it should be pronounced the Name of Allah over it.”

Animals using for burden are haram

Allah says in surah Inam 142 that He created cattle for us, some of which are suitable for burden, such as camels, and some are Farsh. Animals for burden' are the camels that are used for carrying things, while, `Farsh', refers to small camels. `Animals for burden' refers to the animals that people ride. `Farsh' is that we eat its meat and milk it. The sheep is not able to carry things, so you eat its meat and use its wool for covers and mats or clothes.
Wasting of food is not halal
Eat of fruits when they ripen, but pay the due there of on the day of their harvest, and waste not refers to eating,but we should not waste in eating because this spoils the mind and the body.
Do not Paying labour on time is haram
As mentioin Al Inam 141 Allah states that He created everything, including the produce, fruits and cattle allowing some and prohibiting some. Allah said, It is He Who produces gardens mountains.
So one should gives away handfuls of grains and on harvest, he should allow workers to pick whatever is left on the ground of the harvest.'' but pay the due there of on the day of their harvest.This ruling, giving the poor the handfuls of seed grainsand some of the hay as food for their animals, was before Zakah became obligatory.
Designation of cattles for waseela(haram or halal)
Allah mentioned in surah Al-Inam : 144 various kinds of cattle, male and female, such as sheep and goats. He also created male and female camels and the same with cows. Allah did not prohibit any of these cattle or their offspring. Rather, they all were created for the sons of Adam as a source for food, transportation, work, milk, and other benefits, which are many.
Allah said, These were Eight pairs of the sheep two, and of the goats two. These are four pairs,
He did not prohibit any of these the two males or the two females
or the youngwhich the wombs of the two females enclose and does the womb produce but males and females .

Dead animals are haram

Allah mentions in Al: Inam :145 that He
find not in that which has been revealed to him anything forbidden to be eaten by one who wishes to eat it, unless it bea dead animal, blood poured forth, or the flesh of swine for that surely, is unclean (Rijs), or immorally slaughtered in the name of other than Allah.

Meat of donkey is haram

Hazrat Muhammad (PBUH) prohibited the meat of donkeys during the day of Khaybar.
People used to eat some things and avoid some other things, because they disliked them. Later on, Allah sent His Prophet , revealed His Book, allowed what He allowed, and prohibited what He prohibited. Therefore, whatever Allah allowed is lawful and whatever He prohibited is unlawful
Allah only prohibited dead animals, poured blood and benefit from it.

Virtues of Ayat –ul-Qursi

Al-Baqra _255 

This is Ayat Al-Kursi and tremendous virtues have been associated with it, for the authentic Hadith describes it as `the greatest Ayah in the Book of Allah. This ayat testifies that Allah is the Ever Living, Who never dies, Who sustains everyone and everything. All creation stands in need of Allah and totally relies on Him, while He is the Most Rich, Who stands in need of nothing created. No shortcoming, unawareness or ignorance ever touches Allah. He is aware of what every soul earns.He has perfect watch over everything, nothing escapes His knowledge. No secret matter is secret to Him. Among His perfect attributes, is the fact that He is never effected by slumber or sleep.
The deeds of the day are resurrected in front of Him before the deeds of the night, and the deeds of the night before the deeds of the day. His Veil is light, and if He removes it, the rays from His Face would burn whatever His sight reaches of His creation.
To Him belongs whatever is in the heavens and whatever is on the earth indicates that everyone is a servant for Allah, a part of His kingdom and under His power and authority. 
There is none in the heavens and the earth but comes unto the Most Gracious Allah as a servant. Verily, He knows each one of them, and has counted them a full counting. And everyone of them will come to Him alone on the Day of Resurrection without any helper, or protector or defender . These Ayat assert Allah's greatness, pride, and grace, and that no one dares to intercede with Him on behalf of anyone else.
Size of kursi is very large .If the seven heavens and the seven earths were flattened and laid side by side, they would add up to the size of a ring in a desert, compared to the Kursi.''
Hazrat Muhammad (PBUH) said
that this Ayah has a tongue and two lips with which she praises the King Allah next to the leg of the Throne.
Once Abu Ayyub had some dates and a Ghoul used to take some, and he complained to the Prophet. Hazrat Muhammad (PBUH) said to him, "When you see her, say, `In the Name of Allah, answer to the Messenger of Allah'.'' Abu Ayyub said that when she came again, he said these words and he was able to grab her. She begged, "I will not come again,'' so Abu Ayyub released her. Abu Ayyub went to Hazrat Muhammad (PBUH) and the Prophet asked him, "What did your prisoner do'' Abu Ayyub said, "I grabbed her and she said twice, `I will not come again,' and I released her.'' The Prophet said, "She will come back.'' Abu Ayyub said, "So I grabbed her twice or three times, but each time I would release her when she vowed not to come back. I would go to the Prophet who would ask me, `What is the news of your prisoner' I would say, `I grabbed her, then released her when she said that she would not return. The Prophet would say that she would return. Once, I grabbed her and she said, `Release me and I will teach you something to recite so that no harm touches you, that is, Ayat Al-Kursi.'
Abu Ayyub went to the Prophet and told him, and the Prophet said, "She is liar, but she told the truth.''

At-Tirmidhi

In Arabic, `Ghoul' refers to the Jinn when they appear at night.

Al-Bukhari

Abu Hurayrah said, "Allah's Messenger assigned me to keep watch over the Sadaqah of Ramadan. A person snuck in and started taking handfuls of foodstuff. I caught him and said, `By Allah, I will take you to Allah's Messenger.' He said, `Release me, for I am meek and have many dependents and am in great need.' I released him, and in the morning Allah's Messenger asked me, `What did your prisoner do yesterday, O Abu Hurayrah' I said, `O Allah's Messenger! He complained of being needy and of having many dependents, so I pitied him and let him go.' Allah's Messenger said, `Indeed, he told you a lie and will be coming again.' I believed that he would show up again, for Allah's Messenger had told me that he would return. So, I watched for him. When he showed up and started stealing handfuls of foodstuff, I caught hold of him again and said, `I will definitely take you to Allah's Messenger.' He said, `Leave me, for I am very needy and have many dependents. I promise I will not come back again.' I pitied him and let him go. In the morning Allah's Messenger asked me, `What did your prisoner do last night, O Abu Hurayrah!' I replied, `O Allah's Messenger! He complained of his great need and of too many dependents, so I took pity on him and set him free.' Hazrat Muhammad (PBUH) said, `Verily, he told you a lie; he will return.' I waited for him attentively for the third time, and when he came and started stealing handfuls of the foodstuff, I caught hold of him and said, `I will surely take you to Allah's Messenger as it is the third time you promised not to return, yet you returned.' He said, `Let me teach you some words which Allah will give you benefit from.' I asked, `What are they' He replied, `Whenever you go to bed, recite Ayat Al-Kursi- 
                                                                                    Ibne-Kathir
Allahu la ilaha illa Huwal-Hayyul-Qayyum, till you finish the whole verse. If you do so, Allah will appoint a guard for you who will stay with you, and no Shaytan will come near you until morning.' So, I released him. In the morning, Allah's Messenger asked, `What did your prisoner do yesterday' I replied, `O Allah's Messenger! He claimed that he would teach me some words by which Allah will grant me some benefit, so I let him go.' Allah's Messenger asked, `What are they' I replied, `He said to me: Whenever you go to bed, recite Ayat Al-Kursi from the beginning to the end, Allahu la ilaha illa Huwal-Hayyul- Companions were very keen to do good deeds. Hazrat Muhammad (PBUH) said, `He spoke the truth, although he is a liar. Do you know whom you were talking to, these three nights,Abu Hurayrah said, "No".
Hazrat Muhammad (PBUH) said ," It was shaytan.
These Ayat assert Allah's greatness, pride, and grace, and that no one dares to intercede with Him on behalf of anyone else.
Hazrat Muhammad (PBUH) said
"In the day of rescurration I will stand under the Throne and fall in prostration, and Allah will allow me to remain in that position as much as He wills. I will thereafter be told, "Raise your head, speak and you will be heard, intercede and your intercession will be accepted''. The Prophet then said, "He will allow me a proportion whom I will enter into Paradise.'' 
who will get shade

who will get shade 

 Hazrat Muhammad (PBUH) said

Allah will give shade to seven, on the Day when there will be no shade but His: A just ruler, a youth who has been brought up in the worship of Allah, a man whose heart is attached to the Masjid, from the time he goes out of the Masjid until he gets back to it, two persons who love each other only for Allah's sake and they meet and part in Allah's cause only, a man who gives charitable gifts so secretly that his left hand does not know what his right hand has given, a man who refuses the call of a charming woman of noble birth .

Kindness to Parents

 In the name of Allah who is most gracios most merciful

The Order for Kindness to Parents

 

Allah said in Surah Bani Israel :23,24 that your Lord has Qada decreed that you worship none but Him. And that you be dutiful to your parents. If one of them or both of them attain old age in your life, say not to them a word of disrespect, nor reprimand them but address them in terms of honor. And lower unto them the wing of submission and humility through mercy, and say: "My Lord! Bestow on them Your mercy as they did bring me up when I was young.''
Allah commands us to worship Him alone, with no partner or associate.
"And your Lord has Wassa enjoined that you worship none but Him.”
'' The idea of worshipping Allah is connected to the idea of honoring one's parents.”
If one of them or both of them attain old age in your life, say not to them a word of disrespect. Do not let them hear anything offensive from you, not even say "Uff!'' which is the mildest word of disrespect.
And do not reprimand them . Do not do anything horrible to them. And do not reprimand them .Do not raise your hand against them.'' When Allah forbids speaking and behaving in an obnoxious manner, He commands speaking and behaving in a good manner, so He says:
“But address them in terms of honor, gently, kindly, politely, and with respect and appreciation.And lower unto them the wing of submission and humility through mercy, be humble towards them in your actions.
And say: "My Lord! Bestow on them Your Mercy as they did bring me up when I was young.'' say this when they grow old and when they die.
Allah said in surah An’nam
“Be kind and dutiful to your parents”
Allah has commanded and ordered us to be kind to your parents.
Hazrat Muhammad)PBUH) said:
“Jibril came to me and said, "O Muhammad, he is doomed who hears you mentioned and does not say Salla upon you.''
He said, "Say Amin,''
so I said Amin.
Then he said, "He is doomed who sees the month of Ramadan come and go, and he has not been forgiven.''
He said, "Say Amin,''
so I said Amin.
Then he said, "He is doomed who grows up and both his parents or one of them are still alive, and they do not cause him to enter Paradise.''
He said, "Say Amin,'' so I said Amin.

Once Hazrat Muhammad(PBUH) said

Ahadees 

He is doomed, he is doomed, he is doomed, the man whose parents, one or both of them, reach old age while he is alive and he does not enter Paradise
once a man came to
"O Messenger of Allah, I want to go out to fight and I have come to seek your advice.'' He said,
Do you have a mother He said, "Yes.'' The Prophet said,
Then stay with her, for Paradise is at her feet.
The Hazrat Muhammad(PBUH) said:
"Allah enjoins you concerning your fathers, Allah enjoins you concerning your mothers, Allah enjoins you concerning your mothers, Allah enjoins you concerning your mothers, Allah enjoins you concerning your close relatives then the next in closeness."
Ibn Majah
The Hazrat Muhammad(PBUH) said:
"The hand of the one who gives is superior. Give to your mother and your father, your sister and your brother, then the closest and next closest.''
This refers to a man who said something that he did not think would be offensive to his parents.'' According to another report: "He did not mean anything bad by that.''
Allah said:
"Your Lord knows best what is in your souls. If you are righteous.He is Ever Most Forgiving to those who turn to Him in repentance. He is Ever Most Forgiving to those who turn to Him in repentance
Allah often mentions obeying Him and being dutiful to parents together.
The Hazrat Muhammad(PBUH) said:
Best deed isPerforming the prayer on time.' I said, 'Then what' He said, `Being kind to one's parents.
Allah said
And speak good to parents . Say good words to them and be lenient with them. this includes commanding good and forbidding evil.
The Hazrat Muhammad(PBUH) said:
“Do not belittle any form of righteousness, and even if you did not find any good deed except meeting your brother with a smiling face, then do so.”
Muslim and At-Tirmidhi
Allah tells us in surah luqman :14 how Luqman advised his son, the closest and most beloved of all people to him, who deserved to be given the best of his knowledge. So, Luqman started by advising him to worship Allah Alone, and not to associate anything with Him.
The Hazrat Muhammad(PBUH) said:
“That is not what it means. Have you not heard what Luqman said: O my son! Join not in worship others with Allah. Verily, joining others in worship with Allah is a great Zulm .
Muslim.
When Luqman advised his son to worship Allah Alone, he also told him to honor his parents.
Allah says
If they try hard to make you follow them in their religion, then do not accept that from them, but do not let that stop you from behaving with them in the world kindly, i.e. treating them with respect.and follow the path of him who turns to Me in repentance and in obedience
Then to Me will be your return, and I shall tell you what you used to do.

Permission of sehar in Ramadan

Permission of sehar in Ramadan

Iftar

Eating drinking etc are allowed after Iftar during nights of Ramadan In the early years of Islam Muslims were allowed to eat, drink and have only until the `Isha' prayer, unless one sleeps before the `Isha' prayer. Those who slept before `Isha' or offered the `Isha' prayer, were not allowed to drink, eat until the next night. The Muslims found that to be difficult for them. 
So Allah send verses of surah Al-baqra 187 and took mercy on muslims Allah said that “ Eat and drink until the white thread light of dawn appears to you distinct from the black thread darkness of night, then complete your fast till the nightfall.
 These are the limits set by Allah, so approach them not. Thus does Allah make clear His Ayat to mankind that they may acquire Taqwa.” And eat and drink until the white thread light of dawn appears to you distinct from the black thread darkness of night, then complete your fast till the nightfall. 
Allah has allowed eating and drinking, during any part of the night until the light of dawn is distinguished from the darkness of the night. Allah has described that time as `distinguishing the white thread from the black thread.' He then made it clearer when He said: “of dawn.”
 Ha zrat Muhammad (PBUH) said that muslims should Eat and drink until the white thread appears , distinct from the black thread and of dawn was not revealed, some people who intended to fast, tied black and white threads to their legs and went on eating till they differentiated between the two. Allah then revealed the words, of dawn, and it became clear to them that it meant the darkness of night and the light of day.

 '' Ash-Sha`bi said that `Adi said, "I took two strings, one black and the other white and kept them under my pillow and went on looking at them throughout the night, but could not make any distinction between the two. So, the next morning I went to Allah's Messenger and told him the whole story. 

Hazrat Muhammad (PBUH) said that Pillow of muslims was very wide if the white and black threads are under it! Some wordings for this Hadith read. Your Qafa back side of your neck is wide! Question arises What is the white thread from the black thread Are they actual threads.
 Hazrat Muhammad (PBUH) said that Your Qafa is wide if you see the two threads. 
Rather, they are the blackness of the night and the whiteness of the daylight. Now a days sehar time starts about two hours before the fajar azan . 
All muslims awake at this time and eat things as they wish . In Asia most popular things are curd , lasi of curd, paratha , chapatti, puri, curry , etc. As fajar azan starts they stop to eat and drink till Maghrib prayer . Now a days there are very large number of facilities . We can see time on T.V,can listen on radio. There is announcement in every mosque after every fifteen minutes . 

After eating sehar we should pray and say

"Wa Bi Somi Gandan Nawatu Min Shehray Ramadan"

I intend to keep the fast in the month of Ramadan

Order of fast in Ramdan Mubarak

In the name of Allah who is most gracious most merciful

 Order of fast in Ramdan Mubarak 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 Fast in Rmadan Mubarak is for acquiring Taqwa. Fasting purifies the souls and cleanses them from the evil that might mix with them and their ill behavior. . Allah mentioned in surah Al-baqra (One eighty three and one eighty four) that He has ordained fasting for Muslims just as He ordained it for those before them, they being an example for them in that, so they should vigorously perform this obligation more obediently than the previous nations. 
Allah praised the month of Ramadan out of the other months by choosing it to send down the Glorious Qur'an, just as He did for all of the Divine Books. “ The month of Ramadan in which was revealed the Qur'an, a guidance for mankind and clear proofs for the guidance and the criterion between right and wrong.
 Hazrat Muhammad (PBUH) said that The Suhuf Pages of Ibrahim were revealed during the first night of Ramadan. The Torah was revealed during the sixth night of Ramadan. The Injil was revealed during the thirteenth night of Ramadan. Allah revealed the Qur'an on the twenty-fourth night of Ramadan. 
Hazrat Muhammad (PBUH) said ,“Allah has made the crescents signs to mark fixed periods of time for mankind. Hence, fast on seeing it the crescent for Ramadan and break the fast on seeing it the crescent for Shawwal. If it the crescent was obscure to you then count thirty days mark that month as thirty days.” 

 Ibn-Abbas 

The order of fast for those who are not ill or no on journey is that they should fast for a fixed number of days, but if any of one is ill or on a journey, the same number should be made up from other days. And as for those who can fast with difficulty, e.g., an old man, they have a choice either to fast or to feed a Miskin poor person for every day. But whoever does good of his own accord, it is better for him. And that one’s fast is better for him/her . 
In an address to the believers of this Ummah, Allah ordered them to fast, that is, to abstain from food, drink with the intention of doing so sincerely for Allah the Exalted alone. . God allowed such persons, out of His mercy and to make matters easy for them, to break the fast when they are ill or traveling, while the fast is still obligatory on the healthy persons who are not traveling. 
Hazrat Muhammad (PBUH) saw a man who was being shaded by other people while traveling. The Prophet asked about him and he was told that man was fasting. Hazrat Muhammad (PBUH) said It is not a part of Birr piety to fast while traveling.

 Al-Bukhari and Muslim. 

 Allah also mentioned in Surah Al-Maida verse forty eight that Allah has prescribed a law and a clear way for muslims. If Allah had willed, He would have made us one nation, but that He may test us in what He has given us so compete in good deeds. Fasting is prescribed for us as it was prescribed for those before yous, that we may have Taqwa.” since the fast cleanses the body and narrows the paths of Shaytan. 
The fast occurs during a fixed number of days, so that it does not become hard on the hearts, thereby weakening their resolve and endurance. When the obligation to fast Ramadan was revealed, those who wished fasted, and those who wished did not.

 Order of fasting for old man and woman ,pregnant and feeding women 

 Allah said: Those who can fast with difficulty, e.g., an old man, they have a choice either to fast or to feed a Miskin poor person for every day. So whoever of us sights the crescent on the first night of the month of Ramadan he must observe Sawm fasting that month .
"As for the old man person who cannot fast, he should do like Anas who, for one or two years after he became old fed some bread and meat to a poor person for each day he did not fast.'' 

Al-Bukhari 

As for the old man and woman who cannot fast, he is allowed to abstain from fasting and does not have to fast another day instead, because he is not likely to improve and be able to fast other days. So he is required to pay a Fidyah for every day missed. 
 "As for the old man person who cannot fast, he should do like Anas who, for one or two years after he became old fed some bread and meat to a poor person for each day he did not fast.'' '' 

Al-Bukhari

 The same ruling applies for the pregnant and feeding women if they fear for themselves or their children or fetuses. In this case, they pay the Fidyah and do not have to fast other days in place of the days that they missed.
