Hadith on Salat, Paradise and Hazrat Abu Bakr

Hadiths on Salat, Paradise and Hazrat Abu Bakr

Once The Holy Prophetﷺ said: "Whoever is among the people of prayer will be called to Paradise from the door of prayer. Whoever is among the people of jihad will be called from the door of jihad. Whoever is among the people of sadaqah will be called from the door of sadaqah. Whoever is among the people of fasting will be called from the door of Fasting." During this discousre, Hazrat Abu Bakr رضي الله عنه asked " Ya RasoolAllahﷺ, Is there anyone who will be called from all the doors of Jannah? For which Rasool e Kareemﷺ said; “Yes O Abu Bakr, and I hope that you will be amongst them.”

Some pearls from this Hadees.

1. Syyiduna Abu Bakr Siddeeq رضي الله عنه was given the glad tidings of Paradise by The Holy Prophetﷺ in this world, thus knowing the destiny of Hazrat Abu Bakr Siddeeq رضي الله عنه 

2. All the doors of Jannah do recognize and love those Noble people.

3. Hazrat Abu Bakr Siddeeq رضي الله عنه believed that ALLAH has bestowed His Habeeb ﷺ the knowledge all the people and their final abodes.

4. Even the wishes and the nature of the voice of the Doors of Paradise are apparent to Nabi e Kareemﷺ.

5. Sahaba of Nabi e Kareemﷺ didn’t object on the question of Hazrat Abu Bakr Siddeeq رضي الله عنه thus having the same belief on the Ilm ul Ghayb of Nabi e Kareem ﷺ.

6. By recording this Hadees, Imam Bukhari and other Masters of Hadees too agree on Ilm ul Ghayb of Nabi e Kareemﷺ

7. Those who deny the above facts are away from the Path of Sahaba and of Awliya, thus away from the essence of Imaan.

May ALLAH protect our Imaan by the Waseelah of Sayyiduna Abu Bakr Siddeeq رضي الله عنه

22 Sacred Hadtihs narrated by Sayyiduna Abu Bakr as-Siddiq (Radi Allahu Anhu)

22 Sacred Hadtihs narrated by Sayyiduna Abu Bakr as-Siddiq (Radi Allahu Anhu)

Imam Abu Zakariya Yahya ibn Sharaf al-Nawawi (Alayhir Rahmah) said in his Tahzib: “Sayyiduna Abu Bakr as-Siddiq (Radi Allahu Anhu) related one hundred and forty-two (142) Ahadith. The reason for the small number of his narrations given the precedence of his companionship and his staying close to the Prophet (SallAllahu Alayhi wa Sallam) was that he passed away before the spread of hadith and the concern of the followers for listening to them, acquiring them and memorising them.”

Twenty-two (22) of his narrated Ahadith are presented here with respect to the date of His departure from this mundane world i.e. 22nd Jumad al-Akhir. Read, try to memorize and share!

5. Whosoever forges a lie against me intentionally or rejects something I have ordered then let him take up his abode in hell-fire. [Mu’jam al-Awsat, Vol. 2, Page 149, Hadith 2838]

7. If the people of the paradise had traded, they would have traded in cloth. [Musnad Abi Ya’la, Vol. 1, Page 104, Hadith 111]

9. Do not neglect to seek refuge from the shaytan, for if you do not see him, he is not unaware of you. [Musnad al-Firdous, Vol. 5, Page 47, Hadith 7414]

Waseelah (mediation) of Nabi e Kareem ﷺ in Dua after His leaving this world.

References of 37 Scholars available including lmam Bayhaqi, Imam Nasafi, Ibn Qudamah, Imam Nawawi, Hafiz Ibn Kathir, Imam Haytami, Ibn Asaakir, Imam Suyuti)

Hazrat Utbi Radiyallahu Anhu said: "As I was sitting by the grave of the Prophet ﷺ , a Bedouin Arab came and said: "Peace be upon you, O Messenger of Allah ﷺ! I have heard Allah saying:

[Nisa 4:64] And We did not send any Noble Messenger except that he be obeyed by Allah’s command; and if they, when they have wronged their own souls, come humbly to you (O dear Prophet Mohammed ﷺ) and seek forgiveness from Allah, and the Noble Messenger intercedes for them, they will certainly find Allah as the Most Acceptor Of Repentance, the Most Merciful.

Then he recited these verses:

O, the most exalted among the buried people ﷺ who improved the worth of the plains and the hillocks! May I sacrifice my life for this grave which is made radiant by You ﷺ, the One who is (an embodiment) of mercy and forgiveness.

Then the bedouin went away and I fell asleep. In my dream I saw the Holy Prophet ﷺ He said to me: O ‘Utbi, the bedouin is right, go and give him the good news that Allah has forgiven his sins.

This proves that no Pious Predecessor rejected Waseelah in Duas, thus it is proven that those who deny are the Fitna makers in the Ummah

HOW MANY ANGELS ARE IN EXISTENCE?

HOW MANY ANGELS ARE IN EXISTENCE?

There is an Angel named Rooh, who has seventy thousand heads, Each head has seventy thousand faces, and face contains seventy thousand mouths. Each mouth is made up of seventy thousand tongues and each tongue is blessed with seventy thousand languages. 

(Imam Badruddin Mahmood Ai’nee RadiyAllah Anhu in his book Umdatul Qaari Sharah Sahi-ul-Bukhari, Tafseer Al Kabeer, Tafseer Ibn Kathir, Tafseer Qurtubi, Tafseer Durrul Mansur, Bayhaqi)

“By means of these languages, this Angel is constantly reciting the Tasbeeh of Almighty Allah From each Tasbeeh, one Angel is being Created. This angel soars into the Heavens with the rest of the three Angels until the Day of Judgment”. (i.e. the number of different languages in which the Angels Glorify Almighty Allah will be 1 680 700 000 000 000 000 000 000) All Praise is due to Almighty Allah Who is Infinite and so are His Attributes and Glory!

Waseelah through the remnants of The Prophets of Allah

Waseelah through the remnants of The Prophets of Allah

[Baqarah 2:248] And their Prophet said to them, "Indeed the sign of his kingdom will be the coming of a (wooden) box to you, in which from your Lord is the contentment of hearts and containing some souvenirs (remnants) left behind by the honourable Moosa and the honourable Haroon (Aaron), borne by the angels; indeed in it is a great sign for you if you are believers."

Summary of The Tafsir of the above Verse;

The wooden box was three yards long and two yards wide. It was bestowed by Allah to Hazrat Adam. It contained the natural photographs of several prophets and it had been passed on from one Prophet to another until it reached Prophet Moses . 

It remained with Bani Israel at which time it also contained the staff and sandals of Hazrath Musa Alaihissalam, the staff and turban of Hazrath Haroon Alaihissalam , and some pieces of the Tablet (of Torah). At the time of battle, the Bani Israel used to place this wooden box in front and by its blessings Allah used to grant them victory. 

And whenever Bani Israel had some need, they used to place it in front of them and supplicate to Allah, and their need used to be fulfilled. Later on when Bani Israel fell into sin, Allah imposed upon them another nation called Amalikah, who abused them and took the wooden box away from them. 

The Amalikah placed this sacred box in a filthy place. This defilement brought Allah’s wrath upon them, destroying several of their towns. An old woman from Bani Israel who was with them, advised them to banish the wooden box. The Amalikah tied two rowdy bullocks to a cart and placing the wooden box on it released it into the open country. The angels brought the bullock cart to the new king of Bani Israel (Taalut). 

When the box reached them, Allah granted them victory. This had been foretold to them by their Prophet Shamweel عليه السلام according to the above verse.

Special Dua taught by Holy Prophet to a Blind Sahabi

Special Dua taught by Holy Prophet to a Blind Sahabi

The Holy Prophet ﷺ taught a special Dua to a blind Sahabi and to recite the dua after every Namaz

On the authority of Hazrat Usman bin Hunaif (RadiyAllahu Anhu), that a Sahabi who was blind by birth was taught a special Du'a by the Holy Prophet ﷺ,  O Allah, I ask from you, and turn towards you through the Waseela of Your Nabi Muhammad ﷺ who is indeed a Prophet of Mercy. O Rasool of Allah ﷺ, with your Waseela (Medium) I turn towards Allah for my need so that it may be bestowed. O Allah, accept the Prophet's intercession for me.

Below is the dua

Allahumma Inni As Aluka Wa Ata Wajjahu Ilaika Binabiyika Muhammadin Nabiyyir rahmati Ya Muhammadu Inni Ata Wajjahu Bika ila Rabbi Fi Haajati haazihi lituqda li. Allahumma Fashaf'fi'u Fiya

Status of Martyrs in Islam - इस्लाम में शहीद का मर्तबा

Status of Martyrs in Islam - इस्लाम में शहीद का मर्तबा

How fortunate are those for having tasted the death with the remembrance of Nabi e Kareem ﷺ and that too on the most exalted day.

And how unfortunate are those for making themselves eligible for Hell fire by killing the Muslims and that too during the remembrance of the One (ﷺ) whose Kalima has to be recited in order to be called a Muslim.

Surah Nisa : 93

And whoever slays a Muslim on purpose, his reward will be hell – to remain in it for ages – and Allah has wreaked wrath upon him and has cursed him and kept prepared a terrible punishment for him

May ALLAH TA’ALA elevate the status of those Martys

नबी ई करीम ﷺ की याद में मौत का स्वाद चखने वाले वे कितने भाग्यशाली हैं और वह भी सबसे ऊंचे दिन। और मुसलमानों को मारकर खुद को नर्क की आग का पात्र बनाने वाले कितने दुर्भाग्यपूर्ण हैं और वह भी उस एक (One) की याद में जिसकी कालिमा को मुस्लिम कहलाने के लिए सुनाना पड़ता है।

सूरह निसा: 93

और जो कोई भी उद्देश्य से एक मुसलमान को मारता है, उसका इनाम नरक होगा - उम्र के लिए इसमें बने रहने के लिए - और अल्लाह ने उस पर क्रोध किया है और उसे शाप दिया है और उसके लिए एक भयानक सजा तैयार रखी है

What is (Haiz) or menstruation - Frequently Asked Questions

Q1. What is (Haiz) or menstruation?

A1. When a female becomes a teenager, the blood that comes out from her private part (vagina) on a fixed time basis is known as menstruation or period (Haiz). A menstruating woman is not considered dirty or sinful, as is the case in some other religions and cultures. It is natural and normal for every girl from about nine to sixteen years of age to start menstruating. Another word for menstruation is “period”. A female usually has a period every 28 days (once a month), but this cycle often varies from about 25 to 35 days, women have different patterns. A menstrual period usually lasts between three and six days, but may be a day or two longer. When one starts having periods they are often rather irregular. One may have one and then not have another for a few months. After a while they will probably settle down. Use a diary to mark down the days when one has one’s period over the next six months and one may begin to see a pattern. A female should be able to work out the average length of time between periods, which will help her to know when to expect them. Once a female starts menstruating she is physically capable of having a baby. The cycle is repeated over and over again until about 54 years of age.

Q2. At what age does menstruation begin?
A2. Menstruation or period begins when you are at least nine years old. It ends when a woman is about fifty-five years old.

Q3. What happens just before a period?
A3. You may feel tense and irritable just before a period. Some girls feel tired and are unable to concentrate. Some feel weepy and depressed. Some girls get angry. It is normal to feel tired or even dizzy when your period is just starting or is at its heaviest. This is known as “PMS” or “Pre-menstrual syndrome”.

Q4. Are you sick when you have a period?
A4. Definitely not. It is normal for all females to have them. Some girls get abdominal cramps, or a headache, or feel a little bloated at the beginning of a period, but this is perfectly normal and will disappear in a day or two. Period pains can be worse if you are worried and tense. Some girls try to hold on to the blood flow because they are worried about soiling their clothes.

Q5. How can you prevent your clothes from getting soiled when you have your periods?
A5. There are special soft, absorbent pads (sanitary towels), which fit on the inside of your panties, called sanitary pads. They absorb the blood. You can also use tampons, which are inserted into the vagina. If your blood flow is very heavy, you may find that a little blood leaks around the edges, so it can help to wear darker colored pants, which won’t show the blood. Sometimes you will need to change your pads two or three times a day, but if it is heavy you will have to change every couple of hours.

Q6. What can you do if you have period pains?
A6. The best thing to do is relax, preferably in a warm place. If you are at home, curling up under the duvet with a hot water bottle and relaxing for a while can help. Some schools have a sick room to sit in or you can take a painkiller to help you relax.

Q7. What are the colors of menstruation?
A7. A period generally begins and ends with a slight, brownish discharge. In between, the blood becomes redder and the flow heavier. There are six colors of menstruation: black, red, green, yellow, brown and clayey. The white discharge is not menstruation.

Q8. How long does menstruation last?
A8. The time period for menstruation is at least three days and three nights, meaning a full seventy-two hours. The maximum is ten days and ten nights. Periods generally start light and are heavier for just a couple of days.

Q9. What is (Istihaza)?
A9. (Istihaza) is the blood that is discharged due to some illness.

Q10. If the blood is discharged before the age of nine years, is it regarded as Haiz or not?
A10. No. It is called Istihaza.

Q11. What happens if the blood stops just less than seventy-two hours?
A11. Then, it is not a period but Istihaza.

Q12. What happens if the blood flows for more than ten days?
A12. If this is the first instance that blood is discharged, then for the ten days it is regarded as menstruation and the rest it is Istihaza.

Q13. What happens in a case if the usual time for menstruation is five days, but the blood is discharged for ten days? Would all these days be regarded as menstruation or not?
A13. All the days are recognized as menstruation.

Q14. What happens in a case if the usual time for menstruation is five days, but the blood is discharged for twelve days? Would all these days be regarded as menstruation or not?
A14. The first five days is menstruation and the other seven is Istihaza.

Q15. What happens if there is no regular pattern in the menstrual cycle, for example, sometimes the blood is discharged for four days and sometimes for five days?
