THE VIRTUES OF TAUBA (REPENTANCE)

THE VIRTUES OF TAUBA (REPENTANCE)


To repent from ones sins, is compulsory for every Muslim male and female.

O You Who Believe! Repent intensely by Allah. 

To transgress the commands of Allah and His Rasool is a very grave sin. We should be aware of our sins and repent with sincerity in the Court of Almighty Allah. We should beg Almighty Allah to forgive all our major and minor sins.

Hazrat Imam Ghazzali states that once a person asked an Aalim the following question: When a person repents from his sins, does know whether his repentance has been accepted or not? The learned Aalim replied by saying, There is no definite knowing whether ones repentance has been accepted or not, but there are certain signs that show the acceptance of one’s repentance:

1. He will keep himself protected from sinful acts.
2. Happiness (of the world) will disappear from his heart.
3. He will know that Almighty Allah is present at all times.
4. He will gain closeness to the pious and stay away from the corrupt.
 5. He will engross himself in fulfilling his obligations in the Court of Allah.
6. He will remain silent at all times.
7. He will always think of his past sins and be troubled and saddened by them.

My Dear Muslim Brothers and Sisters! Have you repented from your sins today?

Repent before it is too late. Repent before death comes.

Lets cleanse ourselves with Tauba!

May Almighty Allah bless us all with the taufeeq of Tauba before death!

Aameen

THE RIGHTS & DUTIES OF THE HUSBAND TOWARDS HIS WIFE IN ISLAM

THE RIGHTS & DUTIES OF THE HUSBAND TOWARDS HIS WIFE IN ISLAM

Just as Almighty Allah has made some duties of the wife towards the husband, he has also made some duties of the husband towards his wife. To fulfill these duties is an obligation and means of great blessing.

Almighty Allah says in the Holy Quran, There are rights of the husband upon the wife just as there are rights of the wife upon the husband, with kindness.

The Holy Prophet (Sallahu Aliahi Wasalam) said, the best amongst you are those who are kind towards their wives. (Mishkaat Shareef Vol 2 Page 280)

It is also in the Hadith: No believing man should harbor any hatred and ill feeling for any believing women, for if any of hers actions seem bad, then there are also those things in her which are good. (Mishkaat Vol 2 page 280)

This Hadith means, that if a wife has some shortcomings in her, then it does mean that everything about her is not good. She definitely has some good qualities as well.

The husband should thus praise her good qualities and try to rectify her shortcomings.

1. It is an obligation upon every husband, to provide for her food, clothes, house and all other provisions. One must always think that she is a servant of Allah in my Nikah, and she has left her parents and everything else for me. She should thus be properly taken care of.

2. It is also necessary for the husband to fulfill his right as the husband towards his wife, in the sense of satisfying her womanly desires, so that she does not turn towards sin and adultery. This, thus means that the husband should not stay away from his wife for lengthy periods of time.

3. A man should not separate his bed from his wife without reason. Yes, if she acts contrary to his command or against the Islamic law, then he may do so. This however, should not be to cause her pain and torment, but to allow her to realise her wrong doing.

4.It is in the books of Law, that a husband may warn his wife (punish her) by separating his bed etc. if:

(a). She refuses to dress neatly and beautify herself for him

(b). Her husband desires her and she refuses without valid

(c). She does not take Ghusl after intimacy or after her menstrual periods etc.

(d). She leaves Namaaz or any other fardh Ibaadat without valid reason.

5. A man should never look at another woman with bad intention and should never praise the beauty of other women to his wife, and no wife should praise the beauty of another man to her husband.

6. The husband must correct the mistakes of his wife and if she does not accept, then he may be strict.

7. When going on a journey, the husband should inform his wife, and meet her with great love and comfort her before he leaves on a journey.

8. When the wife cooks him a meal, he should not criticize what she has made, but should eat it to please her. If there is something that he does not like he should tell her with great love and not mock or hurt her feelings.

9. If she becomes ill, then it is necessary for him to care and comfort her, so that she feels that he loves and cares for her.

10. He should have full faith and trust in his wife and she should have the same faith and trust in him. Both should not put false accusations on one another, as this leads to the breakup of the marriage and is a sinful act. The husband should also always be clean and dress well when with his wife. He should not embarrass her or shout and threaten her in the presence of others.

11. The husband should not shout at and scold his wife for petty issues and neither should the wife pick on him over petty issues.

12. If there is any dispute between the husband and the wife, they should try to resolve this by themselves with understanding, and if it is not resolved, then it should be put before the elders for advice. A man should never be hasty in giving Talaaq to his wife. He should let his anger subside before he makes any irrational decisions and then think with a calm mind. The Prophet (sallal laahu alaihi wasallam) said, amongst those things which are Halaal, the one most disliked by Allah is Talaaq. (Abu Dawood Vol 1 page 303)

13. If a person has more than one wife (not more than four), then he must be just with all of them and care for them equally. To take care of one and neglect the others is a sin.

THE RIGHTS & DUTIES OF THE WIFE TOWARDS HER HUSBAND

THE RIGHTS & DUTIES OF THE WIFE TOWARDS HER HUSBAND

Once a girl becomes an adult, it is necessary for the parents to arrange for her marriage. When arranging for her marriage, be sure to choose a husband for her, who is a Sunni Sahihul Aqida and not and non-mazhab. Find someone who is a religious person, and one who is pious. Remember that Nikah is the Sunnah of the Prophet and a means of gaining piety and being protected from evil.

Almighty Allah has made man the Guardian over the wife. It is for this reason, that it is compulsory upon the wife to be obedient to her husband. Remember, that to please the husband is a great Ibaadat, and to disrespect him and be disobedient to him is a sin. The status of the husband is very exalted.

The Holy Prophet (Sallahu Aliahi Wasalam) said, If I had to command sajdah (prostration) for anyone but Allah, then I would have commanded the women to make sajdah to their husbands. (Mishkaat Shareef Vol.2 Pg.281)

The Holy Prophet (Sallahu Aliahi Wasalam) also said, That woman who passes away from this world in this way, that her husband was pleased with her, then she will enter into Jannat.

1. The wife should not leave the home to go anywhere without the permission of her husband.

 2. In the absence of the husband, the wife should not give any belongings of her husband to any person. In his absence, it is an obligation upon her to protect all his belongings, and without his permission, she should not allow any person into the home.

3. A women should never do any such action that will cause the husband to become upset.

4. To care and educate the children in the absence of the husband is also a great duty for her.

5. It is necessary for her to keep herself pure and clean at all times, always dressing neatly and looking presentable, so that her husband may be pleased when he looks at her.

6. It is necessary for every wife to understand the manner and habits of her husband, in other words, to know his likes and dislikes and not to act contrary to these.

7. It is from her duties not to become angry when he says anything to her and not to argue or backtalk with him. Rather she should comfort and calm him if he is upset.

8. She should not be demanding and should try her best to live in accordance with his income and not beyond his means. She should not be wasteful with his wealth.

9. As long as her in laws are alive, it is necessary for her to respect them. Never disappoint your husband’s parents.

DESTRUCTIVENESS OF ADULTERY AND HOMOSEXUALITY IN THE LIGHT OF THE HADITH

DESTRUCTIVENESS OF ADULTERY AND HOMOSEXUALITY IN THE LIGHT OF THE HADITH

Hazrat Abu Hurairah (radi Allahu anhuma)  narrated that the Holy Prophet (Salllahu Alaihi Wa Salam)  is reported to have said, “When an adulterer commits adultery, then at that time he is not a momin.” (In other words he is deprived of the qualities of a momin) (Bukhari Shareef)

Hazrat Amr ibnil A’as (radi Allahu anhuma) says, “I heard the Holy Prophet (Salllahu Alaihi Wa Salam) saying that any nation in which adultery becomes common, will be faced with drought and that nation in which bribery becomes common, then such a nation will always be locked in the apprehension and fear of their enemies.” (Mishkaat Shareef)

Hazrat Jaabir (radi Allahu anhuma)  reports that a certain man committed adultery with a certain female, so the Prophet (Salllahu Alaihi Wa Salam) commanded him to be lashed. It was then mentioned that he was married, so the Prophet (Salllahu Alaihi Wa Salam) ordered that he be stoned to death. (Abu Dawood)

 It is reported on the authority of Hazrat Ibn Abbas (radi Allahu anhuma) and Hazrat Abu Hurairah (radi Allahu anhuma). One who does what the people of Lut did (in other words they committed acts of sodomy), then such persons are cursed. (Zareen)

It is also narrated by the same, from Hazrat Ibn Abbas (radi Allahu anhuma) that Hazrat Ali (radi Allahu anhuma) burnt both the one who did such an action of sodomy and the one who allowed such an action and Hazrat Abu Bakr Siddique (radi Allahu anhuma) ordered a wall to be dropped on top of them.

 Note: If this were a Muslim country and Islamic Laws prevailed, then the adulterer and adulteress would both be lashed or stoned to death. In other words they would be pelted until they died. But in this time (as we are not in a Muslim Country), the entire Muslim community should completely boycott those involved in adulterous relationships.

We should stop all communications with such people. In other words we should not eat, drink, sit, walk, make salaam or have any other Islamic relationship with them, until such time that they sincerely make tauba (repent) and abstain from this sinful action in the future.

Those Muslim who do not do this and continue to associate with such sinful persons, they too are sinful. As for those who have homosexual relationships and are involved in sodomy, then the Hadith is clear about the law that is passed on them, but in this time as we are not in an Islamic country, we should boycott such people and have no relationship with them whatsoever.

We should be so hard upon them and shun them to such an extent that they may realize their wrong and repent and abstain from this cursed and sinful behavior. If Muslims remain silent over this and they condone this and let other Muslims who are involved in this continue associating with them etc. then they too are sinful. We should fear the wrath of Allah and look back in history to nations who have been completed destroyed due to such evil practices.

E-Book - The Importance Of Loving Our Parents

Disobedience to ones father is disobedience to Allah Almighty, and displeasure of the father, is displeasure of Allah Qahaar.

If a person keeps his parents pleased, then that is his Jannat (Heaven), and if he displeases them, then this is hell. Until a person does not gain the pleasure of his parents, neither are his Fard or his Nafil actions accepted in actuality.

Such persons will not only be faced with punishment in the hereafter, but they shall face great hardships even in this world. Allah forbid, but for such persons, there fear of not having the opportunity of reciting the Kalima on their deathbed.

The Holy Prophet (pbuh) said, “Obedience to Allah is through Obedience to ones father, and Allah’s displeasure is through the displeasure of one’s father.”

Islamic E-Book : Consequences of Missing Salah (NAMAZ)

Islamic E-Book : Consequences of Missing Salah (NAMAZ)

Consequences of Missing Salah
Author: Hazrat Allama Mohammed Shakir ‘Ali Noorie
(Ameer- Sunni Dawat e Islami)

Wherever we look in the world today, we see Muslims in a state of uneasiness and restlessness. It is as though peace, tranquillity, satisfaction and success have turned their back on us. We are spending our days and nights like a helpless, orphaned community. And the world sees us a rich morsel of
food that they can crush or destroy as they see fit. We may have assumed a number of reasons for our downfall according to our intellect and intelligence, but the reasons stated in the Holy Qur’an are the truthful and correct reasons. In reality, we are not familiar with our glorious past or the lives of our pious predecessors, nor do we desire to instil their characters in ourselves or spend our days and nights as they spent theirs.

We celebrate their remembrances but we do not emulate their habits in our daily lives. We readily talk about their miracles but we are unaware of their enthusiasm for worship, their piety, and their desire to crush and destroy (worldly) desires. This is why we see in history that as well as being punctual and obedient to the Qur’an and Sunnah, our pious predecessors were the inheritors and rulers of the world. Our state is such that we are sinning on the earth and losing our lands at the
same time.

Let us look at the consequences of forsaking the way of our predecessors in the light of the Qur’an and attempt to familiarise ourselves with their habits so that we may save ourselves from ruination in both worlds.

Islamic Books - Life & History of Hazrat Abu Muhammed Abdul Qadir (Gause Aazam)

A Brief on Life & History of Hazrat Abu Muhammed Abdul Qadir (Gause Aazam)

Hazrat Abu Muhammed Abdul Qadir (Allah’s mercy be on him) was born in Naif district of Jilan in Iran (Persia) on the 1st of Ramzan 470 AH (1077 AD). His father Hazrat Abdul Qadir Jilani Abu Saleh Moosa Jungi Dost was a saintly man and a direct descendent of Hazarat Imam Hasan Ibne Ali (Allah be pleased with them).

His mother Fatima was the daughter of Abdullah Somaye, a saintly person and a direct descendent of Imam Husain (Allah be pleased with him). Imam Hasan and Imam Husain are the sons of Hazarat Fatima (Allah be pleased with her) and Hazrat Ali (Allah be pleased with him) and grandsons of Prophet Hazrat Muhammed (Blessing of Allah and peace be on him).

Hazrat Abdul Qadir Jilani (Allah’s mercy be on him) was the youngest child of his parents. At the time of his birth his mother was nearly 60 years old. Within a few weeks new spread that the infant refused tosuck milk until sunset, thereby implying that the newly born child was observing fast as it was the holy month of Ramadan. Thus when in the following year the moon could not be sighted due to heavy clouds, the people came next morning for the guidance at the house of Hazrat Moosa Abu Saleh. The people decided to observe Ramadan on the basis,whether Hazrat Sheikh Abdul Qadir Jilani (Allah’s mercy be on him) had accepted milk or not.

He was very young when his father died. His maternal grandfather Abdullah Somaye showered on him his love and blessings. After sometime his grandfather too died and his old loving mother took care of him.

He received his early education at home where he learned general knowledge, Theology and the Holy Qur’aan from his mother. By the time he was 18 years old he had absorbed most of the religious
education at Jilan and memorized the whole Qur’aan. His thirst for knowledge urged him to go to Baghdad for higher and religious education. His mother, with a heavy heart bid him farewell and entrusted him to the care of Allah and instructed him to always speak the truth. Hazrat Sheikh Abdul Qadir Jilani (Allah’s mercy be on him) took leave of his mother, fully aware that he may not see her again if he went to Baghdad, and promised to heed her advice.
