The Messenger of Allaah sallAllaahu 3Alayhi wa sallam said: "Whoever directs someone to a good, then he will have the reward equal to the doer of the action". [Saheeh Muslim]
“O you who believe! Fear Allah and keep your duty to Him. And let every person look to what he has sent forth for the morrow, and fear Allah. Verily, Allah is All-Aware of what you do.” [soorah Al-Hashr, v:18]
A beautiful, heart softening reminder by Shaykh Salih Al-Maghamsi, that will make you cry.
Shaykh Salih Al Maghamsi is the Imaam of Masjid Al-Quba in Madeenah, Saudi Arabia. He is one of the most well known scholars of Tafseer.
Beautiful recitation of Soorah Qaaf, one of my favorite soorah, by Shaykh Salman Al-3Utaybi from Riyaad. Read the translation (Subtitles) as you listen to these powerful, heart trembling aayaat (aayaat 16-35).
A heart-touching video of a young man that will make you cry.
Shaykh Mishary Al-Kharaz introduces to an amazing young man, who heart is attached to the Masjid. Despite his disability and difficulty, he is always in the Masjid before the Takbeerat Al-Ihraam (first takbeer).
The Prophet SallAllaahu 3Alayhi wa Sallaam mentioned in a hadeeth, those whom Allaah will shade on a Day when no shade but His. Among them is:“………….a person whose heart is attached to the Masjid…….” (1)
Prophet SallAllaahu 3Alayhi wa sallam said, “If people knew what blessings lie in the Adhaan and the first row, and they could not achieve this (distinction) by casting lots, they would certainly do so..” (2)
During Ramadaan, a similar scene is witnessed every day in the Masjid. Despite daily reminders by the care takers of the Masjid, or a kind Naseehah by the Imaam, the same thing is repeated almost every day, both in Men & women’s prayer area/hall.
Please make sure to “Turn off” your Mobiles or make them on “Silent Mode” when going for Taraweeh
Please Respect the House of Allaah. It is very distracting & causes annoyance to the worshipers, specially if it is Musical ring tone.
Some Tips:
Turn off/ your mobile or Turn it on Silent mode before going for Taraweeh.
Inform your friends, family, not to call you after 3Ishaa’ as you will be going for Taraweeh in Ramadaan.
Keep the Ringing volume on the lowest volume (in case you forget to make it silent) (or Leave your mobile phones at home.
Sisters, please keep your mobile phones in your hand-bags.
Change the (musical) Ring tone to the Normal old styled phone Ring bell.
Do NOT check or reply to SMS messages after every 2 rak3ah of taraweeh. This doesn’t let the person to concentrate as the mind is constantly thinking about the message/ reply etc.
If you can, print a poster (Turn off your mobile) and hang it on the wall of the Masjid.
“Everyone shall taste the death. And only on the day of Resurrection shall you be paid your wages in full. And whoever is removed away from the Fire and admitted into Paradise, he indeed is successful. The life of this world is only the enjoyment of Deception (a deceiving thing)”. [soorah Aal-e-3Imraan, v:185]
“A slave may pray and have nothing recorded for it except a tenth of it, or a ninth, or an eighth, or a seventh, or a sixth, or a fifth, or a quarter, or a third, or a half.” (1)
The Prophet SalAllaahu 3Alayhi wa sallam said:“The worst type of thief is the one who steals from his prayer”.
He was asked: ‘O Messenger of Allaah, how can a person steal from his prayer?’
He said:‘By not doing rukoo3 and sujood properly.” (2)
And he SalAllaahu 3Alayhi wa sallam said:‘The one who does not do rukoo3 properly, and pecks in sujood, is like a hungry man who eats only one or two dates; it does not do him any good at all.’” (3)
Another heart touching advice that will leave you crying, by Da3ee Brother 3Abdullaah Bani3mah.
may Allaah forgive my sins, hidden & obvious & make me from those who are thankful for the numerous blessings & never complain.. & may He give me tawfeeq to use all His blessings for His sake. Aameen.
“Everyone shall taste the death. And only on the day of Resurrection shall you be paid your wages in full. And whoever is removed away from the Fire and admitted into Paradise, he indeed is successful. The life of this world is only the enjoyment of Deception (a deceiving thing)”. [soorah Aal-e-3Imraan, v:185]
“…Truly, the life of this world is nothing but a [quick passing] enjoyment, and verily, the Hereafter that is the home that will remain forever.” [soorah Ghaafir, v:39]
Once this life is over, then its all over, no one can return back to make amendments or do good deeds. Lets focus & see what we are preparing for our Aakhirah.
“O you who believe! Fear Allaah and keep your duty to Him. And let every person look to what he has sent forth for tomorrow, and fear Allaah. Verily, Allaah is All-Aware of what you do”. [soorah Al-Hashr, v: 18]
May Allaah give us “Husnul-Khatimah” a good ending. Aameen
Any good that comes from this post is from Allaah alone and any mistakes & errors therein are from myself.
Allaah has honored us by making us Muslims. There is no greater blessing than the guidance of Allaah.
A beautiful reminder about the Blessing of Islaam by Shaykh Saleh Al Maghamsi. Shaykh Al Maghamsi is the Imaam of Masjid Al-Quba in Madeenah, Saudi Arabia. He is one of the most well known scholars of tafseer.
If we are grateful to be a Muslim & a slave of Allaah then there is one thing we should do… & that is to make du3aa to Allaah for this bounty not to be taken away until we meet Allaah.
“Creator of the heavens and the earth! You are my Wali (Protector, Helper, Supporter, Guardian) in this world and in the Hereafter, cause me to die as a Muslim and join me with the righteous.”
“The month of Ramadaan in which was revealed the Qur’aan, a guidance for mankind and clear proofs for the guidance and the criterion..."
[soorah al-Baqarah, v: 185]
Monthly Hadeeth
Prophet sallAllaahu 3Alayhi wa sallam said:
“When the first night of Ramadhaan comes, the doors of Paradise will be opened and the doors of Hell will be closed, and the devils will be chained, and it will be said, 'O you who desires virtue! Come forth and O you who desires evil! Stay behind', and Allaah has people whom He frees from Hell every night (in that month).".
