  • Story of the DEAD PEOPLE

    Story of the DEAD PEOPLE

    Ibn Abu Hatim related that Ibn `Abbas said that these people, were the residents of a village called Dawardan. `Ali bin `Asim said that they were from Dawardan, a village several miles away from Wasit (in Iraq).

    In his Tafsir, Waki` bin Jarrah said that Ibn `Abbas commented,

    ”Did you (O Muhammad Sallal laahoo alaihi wassallam ) not think of those who went forth from their homes in thousands, fearing death) that they were four thousand persons who escaped the plague (that broke out in their land). They said, “We should go to a land that is free of death!” When they reached a certain area, Allah said to them:

    (“Die.”) and they all died. Afterwards, one of the Prophets passed by them and supplicated to Allah to resurrect them and Allah brought them back to life. So, Allah stated:

    (Did you (O Muhammad Sallal laahoo alaihi wassallam ) not think of those who went forth from their homes in the thousands, fearing death)

    Furthermore, several scholars among the Salaf said that these people were the residents of a city during the time of the Children of Israel. The weather in their land did not suit them and an epidemic broke out. They fled their land fearing death and took refuge in the wilderness. They later arrived at a fertile valley and they filled what is between its two sides.

    Then Allah sent two angels to them, one from the lower side and the other from the upper side of the valley. The angels screamed once and all the people died instantly, just as the death of one man. They were later moved to a different place, where walls and graves were built around them. They all perished, and their bodies rotted and disintegrated.

    Long afterwards, one of the Prophets of the Children of Israel, whose name was Hizqil (Ezekiel), passed by them and asked Allah to bring them back to life by his hand. Allah accepted his supplication and commanded him to say, “O rotted bones, Allah commands you to come together.” The bones of every body were brought together. Allah then commanded him to say, “O bones, Allah commands you to be covered with flesh, nerves and skin.” That also happened while Hizqil was watching. Allah then commanded him to say, “O souls, Allah commands you to return, each to the body that it used to inhabit.” They all came back to life, looked around and proclaimed, “All praise is due to You (O Allah!) and there is no deity worthy of worship except You.” Allah brought them back to life after they had perished long ago.

    We should state that bringing these people back to life is a clear proof that physical resurrection shall occur on the Day of Resurrection.

    This is why Allah said:

    (Truly, Allah is full of bounty to mankind,) meaning, in that He shows them His great signs, sound proofs and clear evidences. 

    (but most men thank not.) as they do not thank Allah for what He has given them with in their worldly life and religious affairs.

  • Story of Abu Lahab’s wife Umm Jamil

    Story of Abu Lahab’s wife Umm Jamil

    The story of Abu Lahab’s wife Umm Jamil (Abu Lahab was the uncle of Prophet Mohammad Sallal laahoo alaihi wassallam)

    Chapter 111, Surah Lahab,verses 1-5

    ”May the hands of Abu Lahab be ruined, and ruined is he.His wealth will not avail him or that which he gained.He will [enter to] burn in a Fire of [blazing] flame.And his wife [as well] – the carrier of firewood.Around her neck is a rope of [twisted] fiber”

    The Destiny of Umm Jamil, the Wife of Abu Lahab:

    (And his wife too, who carries wood.) His wife was among the leading women of the Quraysh and she was known as Umm Jamil. Her name was `Arwah bint Harb bin Umayyah and she was the sister of Abu Sufyan. She was supportive of her husband in his disbelief, rejection and obstinacy. Therefore, she will be helping to administer his punishment in the fire of Hell on the Day of Judgement.

    Thus, Allah says,

    (Who carries wood. In her neck is a twisted rope of Masad.) meaning, she will carry the firewood and throw it upon her husband to increase that which he is in (of torment), and she will be ready and prepared to do so.

    (In her neck is a twisted rope of Masad.) Mujahid and `Urwah both said, “From the palm fiber of the Fire.”

    Al-`Awfi narrated from Ibn `Abbas that she used to place thorns in the path of the Messenger of Allah(Peace be upon him) . Al-Jawhari said, “Al-Masad refers to fibers, it is also a rope made from fibers or palm leaves. It is also made from the skins of camels or their furs.

    Mujahid said,

    (In her neck is a twisted rope of Masad.) “This means a collar of iron.” Don’t you see that the Arabs call a pulley cable a Masad

    A Story of Abu Lahab’s Wife harming the Messenger of Allah (Peace be upon him):

    Asma Radi Allahu anha bint Abi Bakr said, “When

    (Perish the two hands of Abu Lahab and perish he)!) was revealed, the one-eyed Umm Jamil bint Harb came out wailing, and she had a stone in her hand. She was saying, `He criticizes our father, and his religion is our scorn, and his command is to disobey us.’ The Messenger of Allah was sitting in the Masjid (of the Ka`bah) and Abu Bakr Radi Allahu anhu was with him. When Abu Bakr Radi Allahu anhu saw her he said, `O Messenger of Allah! She is coming and I fear that she will see you.’ The Messenger of Allah replied,

    (Verily, she will not see me.) Then he recited some of the Qur’an as a protection for himself. This is as Allah says,

    (And when you recite the Qur’an, We put between you and those who believe not in the Hereafter, an invisible veil.) (17:45)

    So she advanced until she was standing in front of Abu Bakr Abu Bakr Radi Allahu anhu and she did not see the Messenger of Allah . She then said, `O Abu Bakr! Verily, I have been informed that your friend is making defamatory poetry about me.’

    Abu Bakr Radi Allahu anhu replied, `Nay! By the Lord of this House (the Ka`bah) he is not defaming you.’ So she turned away saying, `Indeed the Quraysh know that I am the daughter of their leader.”’ Al-Walid or another person said in a different version of this Hadith,

    “So Umm Jamil stumbled over her waist gown while she was making circuits (Tawaf) around the House (the Ka`bah) and she said, `Cursed be the reviler.’

     

     

  • The Story of Asiyah Alaihissalaam and her dua

    The Story of Asiyah Alaihissalaam and her dua

    Story of Asiyah Alaihissalaam and her dua:

    Surah At-Tahreem ,verse 11

    ”And Allah presents an example of those who believed: the wife of Pharaoh, when she said, “My Lord, build for me near You a house in Paradise and save me from Pharaoh and his deeds and save me from the wrongdoing people.”

    Asiya (Peace and blessings be upon her) was the wife of Fir`awn.

    Qatadah said, “Fir`awn was the most tyrannical among the people of the earth and the most disbelieving. By Allah! His wife was not affected by her husband’s disbelief, because she obeyed her Lord. Therefore, let it be known that Allah is the Just Judge Who will not punish anyone except for their own sins.”

    Ibn Jarir recorded that Sulayman said, “The wife of Fir`awn was tortured under the sun and when Fir`awn would finish the torture session, the angels would shade her with their wings. She was shown her house in Paradise.”

    Ibn Jarir said that Al-Qasim bin Abi Bazzah said, “Fir`awn’s wife used to ask, `Who prevailed’ When she was told, `Musa and Harun prevailed’, she said, `I believe in the Lord of Musa and Harun.’

    Fir`awn sent his aides to her and said to them, `Find the biggest stone. If she insists on keeping her faith, throw the stone on her, otherwise she is my wife. When they came to her, she looked up to the sky and was able to see her house in Paradise. She persisted on the faith and her soul was then captured. The stone was thrown on her lifeless body.”

    This is the meaning of her statement,

    (My Lord! Build for me a home with You in Paradise, and save me from Fir`awn and his work,) means, `deliver me from him, because I am innocent of his actions,’

    (and save me from the people who are wrongdoers.)

    Her full name was Asiyah bint Muzahim, may Allah be pleased with her.She is one of the women of Paradise.

    Ibn `Abbas said, “The Messenger of Allah drew four lines on the ground and said,

    (Do you know what these lines represent) They said, `Allah and His Messenger know best.’ He said,

    (The best among the women of Paradise are Khadijah bint Khuwaylid, Fatimah bint Muhammad, Maryam bint `Imran and Asiyah bint Muzahim, wife of Fir`awn.)

    It is confirmed in the Two Sahihs from Abu Musa Al-Ash`ari that the Messenger of Allah said,
    (Many men have reached the level of perfection, but none among women have reached this level except Asiyah — Fir`awn’s wife, Maryam–the daughter of `Imran, and Khadijah–the daughter of Khuwaylid. And no doubt, the superiority of `A’ishah to other women is like the superiority of Tharid to other meals.)

  • The story of Abu Lahab

    The story of Abu Lahab

    The story of Abu Lahab (He was the uncle of Prophet Mohammad Sallal laahoo alaihi wassallam)

    Chapter 111, Surah Lahab, verses 1-3

    ”May the hands of Abu Lahab be ruined, and ruined is he.His wealth will not avail him or that which he gained.He will [enter to] burn in a Fire of [blazing] flame”

    The Reason for the Revelation of this Surah and the Arrogance of Abu Lahab towards the Messenger (Peace be upon him) is mentioned below.

    Al-Bukhari recorded from Ibn `Abbas that the Prophet (Peace be upon him) went out to the valley of Al-Batha and he ascended the mountain. Then he cried out,
    (O people, come at once!) So the Quraysh gathered around him. Then he said,

    (If I told you all that the enemy was going to attack you in the morning, or in the evening, would you all believe me) They replied, “Yes.” Then he (Peace be upon him) said,

    (Verily, I am a warner (sent) to you all before the coming of a severe torment.) 
    Then Abu Lahab said, “Have you gathered us for this May you perish!” Thus, Allah revealed,

    (Perish the two hands of Abu Lahab and perish he!) to the end of the Surah.

    In another narration it states that he stood up dusting of his hands and said, “Perish you for the rest of this day! Have you gathered us for this” Then Allah revealed,

    (Perish the two hands of Abu Lahab and perish he!) The first part is a supplication against him and the second is information about him.

    This man Abu Lahab was one of the uncles of the Messenger of Allah (Peace be upon him).His name was `Abdul-`Uzza bin Abdul-Muttalib. His surname was Abu `Utaybah and he was only called Abu Lahab because of the brightness of his face. He used to often cause harm to the Messenger of Allah . He hated and scorned him and his religion.

    Imam Ahmad recorded from Abu Az-Zinad that a man called Rabi`ah bin `Abbad from the tribe of Bani Ad-Dil, who was a man of pre-Islamic ignorance who accepted Islam, said to him, “I saw the Prophet (Peace be upon him) in the time of pre-Islamic ignorance in the market of Dhul-Majaz and he was saying,

    (O people! Say there is no god worthy of worship except Allah and you will be successful.) The people were gathered around him and behind him there was a man with a bright face, squint (or cross) eyes and two braids in his hair. He was saying, “Verily, he is an apostate (from our religion) and a liar!” This man was following him (the Prophet(Peace be upon him ) around wherever he went. So, I asked who was he and they (the people) said, “This is his uncle, Abu Lahab.”

    Concerning Allah’s statement,

    (His wealth and his children (Kasab) will not benefit him!) Ibn `Abbas and others have said,

    (and his children (Kasab) will not benefit him!) “Kasab means his children.”

    It has been mentioned from Ibn Mas`ud that when the Messenger of Allah called his people to faith, Abu Lahab said, “Even if what my nephew says is true, I will ransom myself (i.e., save myself) from the painful torment on the Day of Judgement with my wealth and my children.” Thus, Allah revealed,

    (His wealth and his children will not benefit him!) Then Allah says,

    (He will enter a Fire full of flames!) meaning, it has flames, evil and severe burning

  • Brittle bone disease

    Brittle bone disease

    Be thankful to Allah Subhaanahu wata’ala

     We can never count Allah’s Blessings.

    Allah Subhaanahu wata’ala says:
    “Is, then, He Who creates comparable to any that cannot create? Will you not, then, take heed? For should you try to count Allah’s blessings, you could never compute them” (An-Nahl 16:17-19).

    We thank Allah for our own benefit:

    If you are ungrateful, Allah is unaffected. If you become grateful, then you have taken the first step towards becoming a true Believer. It is for this reason that the Prophet (Sallal laahoo alaihi wassallam ) exhorted us to “Love Allah, as we benefit from His grace” (Tirmidhi).

    Allah Subhaanahu wata’ala reminds us: ” And whoever is grateful, he is only grateful for the benefit of his own self” (Luqman 31:12)

    “For surely if it was not for the grace of Allah on you and His mercy, you would have been among the losers” (Al-Baqarah 2:64).

    There are so many diseases Allah Subhaanahu wata’ala has Saved us from. Only a single mutation in the genes can lead to disastrous outcomes.

    Osteogenesis imperfecta i.e imperfect bone formation (OI) is a group of genetic disorders that mainly affect the bones. It results in bones that break easily. The severity may be mild to severe

    As well as frequent fractured bones, people with osteogenesis imperfecta may have muscle weakness, hearing loss, fatigue, lax or excessively flexible joints, curved bones, curvature of the spine (scoliosis), blue colour to the whites of the eye (blue sclera), brittle teeth (dentinogenesis imperfecta), and poor growth (short stature).

    OI is caused by genetic defects that affect the body’s ability to make strong bones. In dominant (classical) OI, a person has too little type I collagen or a poor quality of type I collagen due to a mutation in one of the type I collagen genes. Collagen is the major protein of the body’s connective tissue. It is part of the framework that bones are formed around. The result in all cases is fragile bones that break easily.

     

    Type II

    • Most severe form.
    • Frequently lethal at or shortly after birth, often due to respiratory problems.
    • In utero fractures

     

    Patient Story

    Raheem Habib talks about his experience of having brittle bones.

    “I break my bones very easily because I have brittle bones. I have so far broken my legs five times and my arms twice.”

     

    Treatment:

    There is no cure. Maintaining a healthy lifestyle by exercising and avoiding smoking can help prevent fractures. Treatment may include care of broken bones, pain medication, physical therapy, braces or wheelchairs, and surgery. A type of surgery that puts metal rods through long bones may be done to strengthen them.

    We are always complaining about how unfair life is. We keep showing ingratitude to our Creator. We get upset over the things that we don’t have ,yet how many times a day do we thank Allah Subhaanahu wata’ala for His countless favours, for all the blessings He Gave us without even asking?

    Always say ALHUMDULILLAH for all His blessings.

     

    “So which of the favors of your Lord would you deny?” (Surah Ar-Rahmaan)

  • Story of the PROSTRATION of ANGELS before ADAM Alaihissalaam and Satan’s REFUSAL

    Story of the PROSTRATION of ANGELS before ADAM Alaihissalaam and Satan’s REFUSAL

    story2

    Surah Al-Baqarah,verse 34 ”And [mention] when We said to the angels, “Prostrate before Adam”; so they prostrated, except for Iblees. He refused and was arrogant and became of the disbelievers”

    This Ayah mentions the great honor that Allah granted Adam Alaihissalaam, and Allah reminded Adam Alaihissalaam’s offspring of this fact. Allah commanded the angels to prostrate before Adam Alaihissalaam, as this Ayah and many Hadiths testify.

    There is a Hadith about the supplication of Musa Alaihissalaam , “O my Lord! Show me Adam who caused us and himself to be thrown out of Paradise.” When Musa Alaihissalaam met Adam Alaihissalaam, he said to him, “Are you Adam whom Allah created with His Own Hands, blew life into and commanded the angels to prostrate before”

    Iblis was among Those ordered to prostrate before Adam Alaihissalaam, although he was not an Angel.

    When Allah commanded the angels to prostrate before Adam Alaihissalaam, Iblis was included in this command. Although Iblis was not an angel, he was trying – and pretending – to imitate the angels’ behavior and deeds, and this is why he was also included in the command to the angels to prostrate before Adam Alaihissalaam. Satan was criticized for defying that command.

    Ibn `Abbas said, “Before he undertook the path of sin, Iblis was with the angels and was called `Azazil.’ He was among the residents of the earth and was one of the most active worshippers and knowledgeable persons among the angels. This fact caused him to be arrogant. Iblis was from a genus called Jinn.”

    The Prostration was before Adam Alaihissalaam but the Obedience was to Allah.

    Qatadah commented on Allah’s statement,
    (And (remember) when We said to the angels: “Prostrate yourselves before Adam.”)

    “The obedience was for Allah and the prostration was before Adam Alaihissalaam . Allah honored Adam Alaihissalaam and commanded the angels to prostrate before him.” Some people said that this prostration was just a prostration of greeting, peace and honor
    Ar-Razi agreed with this view. Also, Qatadah said about Allah’s statement,

    (And they prostrated except Iblis (Shaytan), he refused and was proud and was one of the disbelievers (disobedient to Allah).)

    “Iblis, the enemy of Allah, envied Adam because Allah honored Adam Alaihissalaam. He said, `I was created from fire, and he was created from clay.’ Therefore, the first error ever committed was arrogance, for the enemy of Allah was too arrogant to prostrate before Adam Alaihissalaam .”  Ibn Kathir said the following is recorded in the Sahih,

    (No person who has the weight of a mustard seed of arrogance in his heart shall enter Paradise.)

    Iblis had disbelief, arrogance, and rebellion, all of which caused him to be expelled from the holy presence of Allah, and His mercy.

    May Allah save us from ARROGANCE and the traps of Shaitan, ameen

  • Am I one of those who justify his haram (forbidden) acts?

    Am I one of those who justify his haram (forbidden) acts?

    reminder1

    Am I one of those who justify his haram (forbidden) acts?

    A very important question we all need to ask ourselves.

    Justifying Evil Deeds

    Imam Sadiq had heard that an old man had become famous for his piety. One day, he saw him surrounded by a large crowd. A little later, the man came out of the crowd and distancing himself from them, proceeded alone, whereupon the Imam began to follow him.

    After a short time, the Imam observed that he had stopped near a bakery from where he stealthily picked up two loaves of bread. After a short distance, he stopped at a fruit store, picking up two pomegranates in the same manner and once again continued on his way.

    As he walked further, the old man approached a sick person, handed over the loaves and fruits to him and was about to move on when Imam Sadiq came up to him and said, “I have witnessed something greatly astonishing from you”, and then proceeded to narrate the acts, which he had witnessed.

    The old man said, “I suppose you are Imam Sadiq”

    The Imam replied in the affirmative.

    The man continued, “It is really unfortunate that in spite of being of the progeny of the Holy Prophet (Peace be upon him) you do not seem to know anything.”

    The Imam asked, “What act of ignorance have you noticed from me?”

    The man said, “But do you not know that God has said in the Quran “Whoever brings a good deed, he shall have ten like it and whoever brings an evil deed, he shall be recompensed only with the like of it”.

    On this basis, since I have stolen two fruits and two loaves of bread, I have four sins in my account, but on the other hand, since I have given it in the way of God, I have earned forty good deeds. Reducing four from forty, I still have thirty-six good deeds in my account; a pity that you possess no knowledge of such computations!”

    The Imam explained to him, “But have you not heard this verse of the Quran, which says: “Allah only accepts from those who guard (against evil)”. You have earned four sins by stealing those four items and four more sins for giving them to someone else without the permission of the owners, so you have collected eight sins but not a single good deed.”

    Later, the Imam said to his companions, “With such interpretations and justifications, not only do they mislead themselves, but others as well.”

    Imam Sadiq has said:
    (Surely, the effect of an evil deed upon the doer is faster than that of a knife upon a piece of meat.)

    Biography of Prophet Mohammad (ﷺ) – The Marriage of his parents

    After you finish reading this, don’t forget to send durood on our Holy Prophet Mohammad Sallal laahoo alaihi wassallam and share this knowledge with your friends and family.

    Today we will learn about The MARRIAGE of his parents (Abdullah and Aminah) and his father’s death.

    ‘Abdullah Ibn ‘Abdul- Muttalib’s Marriage To Aaminah bint Wahb :

    ‘Abdullah was one of ‘Abdul-Muttalib’s most beloved sons.
    ‘Abdullah was about to be slaughtered at one point during his youth but he was spared and his father paid 100 camels for his ransom.

    ‘Abdullah got married to Aaminah bint Wahb ibn ‘Abd-Manaaf ibn Zuhrah ibn Kilaab, whose lineage was very noble indeed.

    Either before the Prophet’s birth or shortly afterwards (historical
    accounts differ in this regard), ‘Abdullah died and was buried in Al-Madeenah, alongside his uncles from the Banu ‘Adee ibn An-Najjaar clan.

    He had gone to Ash-Sham (Syria and surrounding
    regions) for a business trip, and death overtook him in Al-
    Madeenah, during his return journey; but he had already
    impregnated his wife. And so it was as if it was being said to him:

    “Your mission in life is complete; as for this pure child you leave
    behind, Allah will, with His Wisdom and Mercy, take care of him
    and prepare him for the task of taking mankind out of darkness
    and bringing them into the light”

  • Stories from the Quran (The birth of Maryam Alaihissalaam)

    Stories from the Quran (The birth of Maryam Alaihissalaam)

    stories1

    The Story of Maryam Alaihissalaam’s Birth (Mother of Prophet Issa Alaihissalaam)

    Surah AL-IMRAN, verses 35-36

    (35. (Remember) when the wife of `Imran said: “O my Lord! I have vowed to You what is in my womb to be dedicated for Your services, so accept this from me. Verily, You are the All-Hearer, the All-Knowing.”) (36. Then when she gave birth to her, she said: “O my Lord! I have given birth to a female child, ـ and Allah knew better what she bore, ـ “And the male is not like the female, and I have named her Maryam, and I seek refuge with You for her and for her offspring from Shaytan, the outcast.”)

    The wife of `Imran mentioned here is the mother of Maryam Alaihissalaam, and her name is Hannah bint Faqudh. Muhammad bin Ishaq mentioned that Hannah could not have children and that one day, she saw a bird feeding its chick. She wished she could have children and supplicated to Allah to grant her offspring. Allah accepted her supplication, and when her husband slept with her, she became pregnant. She vowed to make her child concentrate on worship and serving Bayt Al-Maqdis (the Masjid in Jerusalem), when she became aware that she was pregnant.

    She said,
    (O my Lord! I have vowed to You what is in my womb to be dedicated for Your services, so accept this from me. Verily, You are the All-Hearer, the All-Knowing.) meaning, You hear my supplication and You know my intention. She did not know then what she would give birth to, a male or a female.

    (Then when she gave birth to her, she said: “O my Lord! I have given birth to a female child, ـ and Allah knew better what she bore.)

    (And the male is not like the female,) in strength and the commitment to worship Allah and serve the Masjid in Jerusalem.

    (And I have named her Maryam,) thus, testifying to the fact that it is allowed to give a name to the newly born the day it is born, as is apparent from the Ayah, which is also a part of the law of those who were before us.

    Further, the Sunnah of the Messenger of Allah mentioned that the Prophet Sallal laahoo alaihi wassallam said,

    (This night, a son was born for me and I called him by my father’s name, Ibrahim.) Al-Bukhari and Muslim collected this Hadith.

    Allah’s statement that Maryam Alaihissalaam’s mother said,

    (“And I seek refuge with You for her and for her offspring from Shaytan, the outcast.”) means, that she sought refuge with Allah from the evil of Shaytan, for her and her offspring, i.e., `Isa, peace be upon him. Allah accepted her supplication, for `Abdur-Razzaq recorded that Abu Hurayrah (Radi Allahu anhu) said that the Messenger of Allah Sallal laahoo alaihi wassallam said,

    (Every newly born baby is touched by Shaytan when it is born, and the baby starts crying because of this touch, except Maryam and her son.)

    Abu Hurayrah then said, “Read if you will,

    (And I seek refuge with You for her and for her offspring from Shaytan, the outcast).” The Two Sahihs recorded this Hadith.

    Dua from this story to seek Allah’s Protection for your daughter and grandchildren:

    ”And I seek refuge with You (Allah) for her and for her offspring from Shaitan (Satan), the outcast.”

    Wa innee o’eethuhaa bika wathurriyyatahaa minash-shaytaanir-rajeem
