Holy Prophet said, " On the door of
Jannah it is written "Laaelaha Illalla, Mohammad dur Rasullala, Ali un
Waliullah " ( So called Muslim and the enemy of Ali will never like to go in
that Jannah where Ali un Waliullah is written because he will take it as
Imambarah and it should be, because in this world the Imambarah is the house
of Imam Hussain and in the next world the Jannah is the entire property of
Hussain as Holy Prophet said " Hassan & Hussain are the lords of all young
lots of Jannah "
- The Person who loves heartily
& deeply with Hazrat Imam Hassan a.s , Hazrat Imam Hussian a.s , Hazrat
Imam Ali a.s , Hazrat Fatima a.s & my Ahl-bat a.s , he will with
me in the Paradise .& Allah also love those persons , who loves with them.
- Severe
calamity from the direction of their ruler will befall my people during the
Last Days. It will be a calamity which, in severity, shall be unprecedented.
It will be so violent that the earth with injustice and corruption will shrivel
for its inhabitants. The believers will not find refuge from oppression. At
that time God will send a man from my family to fill the earth with justice
and equity just as it is filled with injustice and tyranny. The dwellers of
the heavens and the earth will be pleased with him. The earth will bring forth
all that grows for him, and the heavens will pour down rains in abundance.
He will live among the people for seven or nine years. From all the good that
God will bestow on the inhabitants of the earth, the dead will wish to come
to life again.

Hazrat Ali While going to Syria (
Sham ) passed through Karbala. He stopped at Karbala and wept so much that
his face become wet with tears and said that once I was with Holy Prophet and
he was weeping too much , I asked Ya Rasulallah, why you are weeping , Holy
Prophet told that just now Jebraeil came and told me that my Hussain will be
killed near the bank of river Farrat . The name of that place is Karbala and
Jebraeil has given me the clay of that place and when I smelled that clay my
tears came out. ( Holy Prophet and Hazrat Ali both deeply wept over Hussain
much before his martyrdom .................... issue the Fattwa now ! ! !.
)
- Holy Prophet said, " O, Ali no one will love you
except Momin and no one will be your enemy but Monafiq.

The Holy Prophet
Mohammad(pbuh&hf) kissed his uncle lovingly on his forehead and mourned
him, by saying.
Uncle, may Allah have mercy on you. You had educated me when I
was small, looked after me when I became an orphan, and supported me when I
became a grown man. So may Allah reward you a lot."
-
Holy prophet (s.a.w.a.) as saying: 'mahdi
is from my progeny. his face is like a twinkling star; his colour 'arabi' and
his figure like the figure of isra'eel. (speaking allusively of his wheatish
complexion, tall height and stoutness).
-
A lots of traditions have
been narrated by the Holy Prophet of Islam and Ahlul-bait (a.s.) that "Hazrat
Qaem" is the ninth son of Imam Hussain (a.s.),eight son of Imam Zainul
Abeadeen (a.s.), and the son of Imam Hasan Askari (a.s.) These types of
glad tidings are in plenty. These traditions have been
recorded by Shia and Sunni scholars alike in their books and for the truthfulness
of these traditions we can, without an iota of doubt say that Imam al Mahdi
is already born otherwise their sayings would be counted as false.
-
The Qa'im will be among my descendants. His name will be my name and his
patronymic will be my patronymic. His character will be like my own. He
will call people to my custom and to the Book of God. Anyone who obeys him
would be obeying me, and any one who turns away from him would be turning
away from me. Anyone who denies his existence during his concealment would
have denied me, and anyone who falsifies him would have falsified me. Anyone
who confirms his existence would have confirmed my existence. As for those
who are engaged in falsifying what I have said about him and thereby mislead
my community, I will complain against them to God. "Those who do wrong
shall surely know by what overturning they will be overturned."

After this great event of Haj &
Gadeerwhen Holy Prophet reached Medina the news of Ghadeer spread every
where that Ali is the master of every Muslim. one man ,a Muslim of that
time ( Is he not Sahabi ?) but enemy of Hazrat Ali ,named Haras bin Nooman
Faheri came to the mosque of Holy Prophet in a very aggressive mood and
shouted Ya Mohammad ! You told us about God we believed , You told us
about your Prophet hood we believed , You asked for prayer we did, You
ordered to keep fast we obeyed you, You asked for Zakah we gave, was it not
sufficient ? that you made Ali as our master, just tell me that this order
is from you or from God ? The Holy Prophet replied that this order is from
God. On this the most unlucky person said that if it is from God than ask
the God to drop a stone on me ! ! ( just think , such people were there in
Medina who preferred Azab-e-Ilahi than to accept Ali as their master.) As
he left the mosque a stone dropped from the sky on his head and he died on
the spot. ( I will say that he hurried, if he could have waited for few
months more things were going to happen of his choice. After the death of
Holy Prophet same happened what he wanted . Very important point to be
considered is , that what he said , We believed in God, We believed in
Risalat We prayed , We kept fast ,We gave Zaka but in spite of all he faced
a horrible end only because that he did not accept the Welayat of Ali, he
did not accept Ali as his master so every thing went in vain. Therefore, it
is lesson for all those who have not accepted Ali as their master and
putting their best in Ebadaat must know that their end is not going to be
different than Haras bin Nooman .The second important point to think is that
this man only opposed Ali but did not take the sword and fight against Ali
and reached to this terrible end what about those who physically fought with
their naked sword against Ali ? ?? )
-
Abu Ayyub Ansari says: I
heard the Prophet (peace be upon him and his progeny) say: "I am the
chief of the prophets and 'Ali is the chief of the legatees. My two grandsons
are the best among the descendants. The infallible Imams will come forth
from among us through Husayn. Moreover, the Mahdi of this community is among
us." At that time an Arab stood up and asked: "O Prophet of God,
how many Imams are there after you?" He replied: "Equal to the
number of the apostles of Jesus and the chiefs of the Children of Israel."
-
The
Imams after me will be equal to the number of the tribal chiefs among the
Children of Israel. Nine among them will be the descendants of Husayn. The
Mahdi of this community is among us. Beware! Truth is with them and they
are with truth. Thus be careful of the way you treat them after me.
-
Tradition Abu Huraira narrated:
The Prophet (PBUH) looked toward Ali, Hasan, Husain, and Fatimah (AS), and
then said: "I am in war with those who will fight you, and in peace
with those who are peaceful to you."
-
"The Mahdi from among my descendants, from my family, will rise at
the End of Time, while the heavens will pour rain and the earth will bring
forth green grass for him. He will fill the earth with justice and equity
as it is filled with tyranny and injustice.
-
Umm Salma, the wife of the Prophet, there is even more specific information
given to the community. The Prophet says: "Mahdi will be among my progeny,
among the children of Fatima."
-
The punishment inflicted
on the murderer of Hussain(a.s.) in Hell would be equal to half of the total
punishment to be imposed on the entire sinners of the world.
-
Ali-ibn-Hallal who narrates from his
father who said: 'i was honoured by visiting the Holy Prophet (s.a.w.a.) at
the time when he was feeling unwell and Fatima was crying besides him. then
the Holy Prophet (s.a.w.a.) said: 'O my Daughter, what causes you to cry? she
replied: i fear that after you, harm shall befall me.
The Holy Prophet (s.a.w.a.) replied:
'O My Beloved one, Allah put the rein of care on the inhabitants of the earth.
then, amongst them, he appointed your father and then bestowed upon him the
messengership. thereafter, he showed another care. he appointed your husband
Ali and revealed to me that i should give your hand in marriage to him. 'O
Fatima, we are such an Ahl-ul-Bait that Allah, the exalted has given us
privilege of seven things which others do not possess. neither those before us
nor those who will come after us will have the privilege of those seven
things.
I am your father, the last of the
prophets and the most honourable among them before Allah and my «wasi»
(legatee) is your husband, the best of the legatees and the most beloved
amongst them before Allah. our martyr Hamza, the loved uncle of your father as
well as your husband, are the best of the martyrs and the most beloved amongst
them before Allah. moreover, the one who possesses two wings is from us. he
shall fly with them in paradise along with the angels to whichever place he
wishes. he is your father's cousin and the brother of your husband. the two «sebt»
(off springs) of this «ummah» (nation) are from us and they are Hassan and
Hussein, the two chiefs of the youth of paradise and they are your sons. i
swear by the one who rightly appointed me to the station of the Prophethood
that Mahdi is from your sons. he shall fill the earth with justice just as it
had been filled with oppression
- The
Imams after me will be twelve in number, of whom nine will be from the progeny
of Husayn. Moreover, the Mahdi of this community will be among us. Anyone
who holds on to them after me holds on to the rope of God; and whoever abandons
them has abandoned God.
-
Anas-ibn-Malik who said: the Holy
Prophet (s.a.w.a.) said:- we seven, (i.e. Ali, my brother,
Hamza, my uncle, Jafar, Hassan, Hussein, Mahdi and Myself) the sons of Abdul-Muttalib
are the leaders of paradise.
- Hassan(a.s.)
and Hussain(a.s.) are the leaders of the Youths of Paradise.
- 'Ali
b. Abi Talib has narrated from the Prophet, who said: "Even if there
remains only a day on earth, God will bring forth a man from my progeny so
that he will fill the earth with justice and equity as it is filled with tyranny.
-
The world will not come to an end until a man from my family (ahl al-bayt),
who will be called al-Mahdi, emerges to rule upon my community.
Another tradition reported by Abu al-Hujaf quotes the Prophet saying three
times: Listen to the good news about the Mahdi! He will rise at the time
when people will be faced with severe conflict and the earth will be hit
by a violent quake. He will fill the earth with justice and equity as it
is filled with injustice and tyranny. He will fill the hearts of his followers
with devotion and will spread justice everywhere.
- He who loves al-Hasan and al-Husain,
loved me, and he who makes them angry has made me angry.
- The Moslems all shouted repeatedly
and replied in great earnest,
"Yes You have, Oh, Messenger of God! Yes you have."
- The
Day of Resurrection will not take place until the True Qa'im rises. This will
happen when God permits him to do so. Anyone who follows him will be saved,
and anyone who opposes him will perish. O servants of God, keep God in your
mind and go towards him even if it happens to be on the ice, for indeed he
is the caliph of God, the Exalted and Glorified, and my successor.
- In
another hadith the Prophet is reported to have said: "Any one who denies
al-Qa'im among my children will have denied me."
- The
world will not come to an end until a man from the descendants of Husayn takes
charge of the affairs of the world and fills it with justice and equity as
it is filled with injustice and tyranny.
- The Holy Prophet Mohammad (pbuh&hf)
then immediately prayed 'two Rakas' on the spot, so as to commemorate the
historic occassion. And when he had finished his prayers. It was then time
for the noon prayers and Balaal once again he cried Prayer Call. But this
time it was made for the compulsory Noon Prayers. After The Prophet(pbuh&hf)
finished leading the noon prayers. He called Ali(as) to follow him into his
tent that was pitched under a tree and sat himself opposite to him.
- The Great Apostle of God(pbuh&hf),
then ordered all the Muslims and his Companions to each personally make an
oath of allegiance to Ali(as) in his very presence. Then all the Muslims formed
a long queue and each gave his 'Oath of Allegiance' with The Holy Prophet
Mohammad (pbuh&hf), standing by Al(as), accepting their congratulations
and looking on as personal witness to their attestments and the occassion.
Congratulating Ali upon his appointment As soon as the last Muslim had given
his pledge of Allegiance. The Prophet(pbuh&hf) embraced Ali(as) warmly
and congratualed him on his appointment, as his Successor and Caliph over
all the Muslims after his death. The joyious crowd surrounding them were moved
greatly at the sacred sight before them. They then all shouted their approval
and wept with sheer happiness.
The Prophet Mohammad(pbuh&hf) proudly praising Ali(as) and named him officially
as,
Al-Ameer Al-Mu'maneen
Meaning, The Commander of all the faithfull.

you. I leave behind me amongst you, two precious things which, if you cleave
to them, you will never go astray. The Holy Book of God and, my Offspring
the Ahl Al-Bayt.

he came out with something (I did not know what) under his cloak. When I had
finished telling him my business I asked him what he had under his cloak,
and when he opened it I saw al-Hasan and al-Husayn on his hips. He then said,
"These are my sons and my daughter's sons. O Allah, I love them, so I
beseech Thee to love them and those who love them."
- The
promised Mahdi will be among my family. God will make the provisions for his
emergence within a single night
- Whoever
wishes to see such a person who lives on earth but whose dignity is honoured
by the Heaven dwellers, should see my grandson Hussain(a.s.).
- O my son!
your flesh is my flesh and your blood is my blood, your are a leader , the
son of a leader and the brother of a leader; your are a spiritual guide, the
son of a spiritual guide and the brother of a spiritual guide; you are an
Apostolical Imam , the son of an Apostolical Imam and the brother of an Apostolical
Imam; your are the father of nine Imams, the ninth of whom would be the Oaim
(the last infallible spiritual guide.

informed Hazrat Fatimah(s.a.) of the Martyrdom in store for his grandson,
she burst into tears and asked, "O my father! when would my son be martyred?"
"In such a critical moment," he replied," When neither I nor
you, nor Ali would be alive. " This accentuated her grief and she inquired
again," Who then, O my father, would commemorate Hussain's martyrdom?".
The Holy Prophet(pbuh&hf) said, "The men and the women of a particular
sect of my followers, who will befriend my Ahl-ul-Bayt, will mourn for Hussain
and commemorate his martyrdom each year in every century."

One day, when Zaynab (AS) was about five years old, she had a strange
and terrible dream. A violent wind arose in the city and darkened the
earth and the sky. The little girl was tossed hither and thither, and
suddenly she found herself stuck in the branches- of a huge tree. But-the
wind was so strong that it uprooted the tree. Zaynab (AS) caught hold of a
branch but that broke. In a panic she grabbed two twigs but these top gave
way and she was left falling with no support. Then she woke up. When she
told her grand father, the Prophet (PBUH&HF), about this dream he wept
bitterly and said,
"O my daughter. that tree is me who is shortly going to
leave this world. The branches are your father Ali and your mother
Fatima Zahra, and the twigs are your brothers Hasan and Husayn. They
will all depart this world before you do, and you will suffer their
separation and loss."

displease Allah in order to please a man .
- Tradition Anas ibn Malik Narrated:
When Allah's Messenger (PBUH&HF) was asked which member of his family
was dearest to him, he replied, "Al-Hasan and al-Husain." He used

and cuddle them.

Abu Taleb related to Mohammad the words of Quraysh. But his nephew replied
politely,
"Uncle, I can't disobey my Lord's Command!"
But
for Quraysh that wasn't good enough for they truely feared Mohammad and his new
founded religion for their position, wealth and standing in Mecca and Arabia. So
Abu
Jahal the most spitefull of them all proposed desperately.
"We'll give him whatever he wants and demmands of our wealth and money.
Rather, we'll make him king over all of us, if that what he wants!"
-
The Holy
Prophet(pbuh&hf) answered,
"I want nothing, but only one word."
Abu Jahal
quickly said.
"Yes, what's the word? We'll give you as ten times of it!"
- The Messenger of Allah(swt) replied.
"Say, that there's no other god but Allah!"
On
hearing Mohammad's answere Abu Jahal turn full red in the face and was filled
with anger and snapped back.
"Ask us of another word instead!"
- The Holy Prophet of God(pbuh&hf) said.
"If you brought me the sun and placed it in my right hand, I'd
not ask other than that word!"
The tension in the air increase
from Quraysh elders who were angry of Mohammad's demmand. The polytheists all
stood up and started to threaten Mohammad, when Abu Taleb intervened and they
stompped out in anger. And Abu Taleb sighed and turned to his nephew and said.
"Son, save your soul and don't overburden me."
- The Holy Prophet eyes filled with tears and answered.
"Uncle, by Allah, if they put the sun in my right hand and the
moon on my left hand, just to leave this matter. I'd not leave it till Allah
supports it or I perish for it!"
Abu Taleb wept at his nephew's
words, and gestured his nephew to draw closer to him and kissed him and said
surely and softly.
" Nephew, go and say whatever you like. By Allah, I'll never leave you
alone!"
Then Abu Taleb smiled at his orphaned nephew and rejoiced in a small song.
"By Allah, they all won't reach you.
Till a pillow of dust will be put
under my head.
And till I'll be buried."

one of the companions of the Holy Prophet Jabir Ibn Abdallah Ansari was
in the presence of the Holy Prophet. He asked the Prophet about the names
of descendants from his daughter Hazrat Fatima and Ali (AS). The Prophet
told him,
“O Jabir, you will have a long life, and although you will go blind, but
you will meet the 5th in line of my descendants whose name will be my name,
who will walk like me and who will be the 5th Imam of the time. When you

and in the beginning of the article I indicated that Hussain was killed on the
same day when Holy Prophet passed away from this world. )

related from the Prophet another widely quoted hadith in which the latter
said:
The two sons of 'Ali [Hasan and Husayn] are the leaders of the youths of Paradise.
They are my sons. 'Ali, his two sons, and the Imams after them, are the Proof
of God's existence among the people. They are my gates of knowledge in the
community. Any one who follows them will be saved from the Hell Fire; and
any one who accepts them as his leader has found the way to guidance. God
does not bless any one with their love without making them worthy of the Paradise.
- The Prophet told Fatima: The
two grandsons of this community are among us. These are Hasan and Husayn who
are the masters of the youths of Paradise. By God, their father is more excellent
than they. I solemnly declare in the name of the One who has sent me as a
prophet that the Mahdi of this community will emerge from among these two
sons of yours at the time when chaos will rule.
- The Prophet, according to Imam
'Ali, used to ask him to write down what he said. 'Ali asked him if the Prophet
thought 'Ali might forget. The Prophet said: "No, because I have prayed
to God to make you among those who remembers things and records them. However,
I want you to preserve it for your companions and the Imams who will come
after you. It is because of the blessed existence of the Imams that the rain
falls on earth for the people, their prayers get accepted, the calamities
go by them and mercy descends on them." Then the Prophet pointed towards
Hasan and said: "This is the second in the line of the Imams," and
added, "the Imams will be from the descendants of Husyan."
- Practise good manners &
shun ill attitudes.
- Tradition Aisha narrated:
The Prophet (PBUH&HF) said: "Gabriel informed me that my grandson
al- Husain (AS) will be killed after me in the land of al-Taff and brought
me this Turbah (mudd/soil) and informed me that this is the soil of the place
he will be martyred." Not only human beings, but also the Jinns mourn
for Imam al-Husain. It has been narrated that after his (AS) martyrdom:
-
If it is hypothetically accepted that the Prophet did name Sa'id as Dajjal,
he must have used the word in its common meaning as a 'deceiver' and a 'liar'
rather than as the Dajjal who is part of the signs of the appearance of
the Mahdi. In other words, when the Prophet met Sa'id he introduced him
as a personification of an antichrist to his companions. Following that,
when he informed the people about the emergence of Dajjal in the Final Days,
those who heard him thought the reference was being made to Sa'id b. Sayd
whom he had called a Dajjal, and it is this Dajjal who would appear as one
of the signs of the Last Days, akhir al-zaman. The tradition about Dajjal
being alive and possessing a long age comes from this incident.
- Tradition Narrated Abdullah
Ibn Abbas:
One day at midday he saw in a dream the Prophet (PBUH&HF)dishevelled and
dusty with a bottle containing blood in his hand and said, "You for whom
I would give my father and mother as ransom, what is this?" He replied,
"This is the blood of al-Husayn and his companions which I have been
collecting today." He told that he was reckoning that time and found
that he had been killed at that time.
- The Prophet (peace be upon
him and his progeny) declared:
The Promised Mahdi is among my descendants. His name and patronymic will be
the same as mine. In creation and conduct he will be the closest to me. He
will live a life of occultation during which people will become confused and
lost. At that time, like a brilliant star he will appear and fill the earth
with justice and equity, as it is filled with injustice and tyranny.
-
If there remains no more than
a day for the world, God will prolong it until a man from my progeny, whose
name will be my name, will emerge." Salman asked: "From which
of your progeny will he emerge?" The Prophet replied: "From this
son of mine." And, he struck Husayn with his hand.
-
Prophet (peace be upon him
and his progeny) told Fatima:
The Mahdi of this community behind whom Jesus will pray is among us."
Then he struck Husayn's shoulder with his hand and declared: "The Mahdi
of my community will be from the descendants of this son of mine."

proof of God's existence. You are the father of nine proofs of God, the nineth
among whom will be the Qa'im.

that there was dust on his head and beared I asked Ya Rasulallah What
happened to you ? Holy Prophet replied," Oh !. Umme Salma I am Coming from
Karbala , My Hussain is being killed. " On the same day Hazrat Ibn-e- Abbas

wife of Holy Prophet and Sahabi, Ibe Abbas , on the day of Ahshura the head
and the beared of Holy Prophet was full of dust and on the same day Yazeed
and his followers were celebrating Eid so just see on the day of Ahshura who
is resembling to the Holy Prophet and who is resembling to Yazeed and decide
that who is the follower of Holy Prophet and who is the follower of Yazeed,

found him weeping. When he asked the Apostle of Allah as to what was the reason
which made him weep, he replied, "O 'ALI, Gabriel has just been with
me and informed me that my son Husayn would be martyred in Karbala', a place
near the bank of the River Euphrates. This moved me so much that I could not
help weeping."
- Anas ibn Harith narrates:
One day the Holy Prophet ascended the pulpit to deliver a sermon to his associates
while Imam Husayn and Imam Hasan were sitting before him. When his address
was over, he put his left hand on Imam Husayn and raising his head towards
Heaven, said: "O my Lord! I am Muhammad Thy slave and Thy Prophet, and
these two are the distinguished and pious members of my family who would fortify
my cause after me. O my Lord! Gabriel has in- formed me that my son Husayn
would be killed. O my Lord! bless my cause in recompense for Husayn's martyrdom,
make him the leader of the martyrs, be Thou his helper and guardian and do
not bless his murderers."

and she inquired again, "Who then, O my father, would commemorate Husayn's
martyrdom? " The Holy Prophet said, "The men and the women of a

for Husayn and commemorate his martyrdom each year in every century."

The authenticity of this
tradition that Isa (a.s.) shall stand for prayers behind Mahdi (a.s.) and will
fight along with him and the fact that Isa (a.s.) shall kill Dajjal in the
presence of Mahdi and Mahdi (a.s.) will be having precedence over Isa at the
time of prayers are all well-known. similarly, his position is more than Isa
at the time of 'Jihad' (the holy war).
-
The one whose recitation of quran
is better (than others) shall lead the people. if it is equal amongst all,
then the most wise shall lead and if still they are equal, the most learned
shall lead. if yet they are equal, the one who has taken precedence over the
others in 'hijrat' (migration) shall lead and if again they remain the same,
the one with a handsome face shall lead. thus if Mahdi realizes that Isa is
superior to him, it is not permissable for imam to take precedence over Isa in
the 'shariat' since allah has kept imam pure and clean from every abominable
act. similarly if Isa realizes that Mahdi is superior to him, it is not
permissible for him to allow mahdi to follow him because, Allah has protected
him from pretention, hypocrisy and showing-off. rather, when once imam becomes
sure that he is more learned than Isa it is permissible for him to take
precedence over isa. similarly when Isa becomes certain that Mahdi is more
learned than him he will allow Hazrat to take precedence and he himself will
on the other hand, follow him. this was regarding superiority in prayers.

Hazrat Sofyan bin Aniah was asked about the meaning of Ayah 29. Surah Al
Moahrej, that Some one asked for the happening chastisement " what was that
happening chastisement? and who was this person who asked for this ? on this
Sofyan Bin Aniah said that I heard from my father who heard from Imam Jafar
Bin Mohammed ( A.S,) and the Imam narrated through his fore- fathers up to
Holy Prophet , that in the Khum -e- Ghadeer when people ( Sahaba Karam ) were
called up, when all gathered the Holy Prophet held the hand of Hazrat Ali
raised it up and said " All those to whom I am a master , Ali is their
master " After this great event when Holy Prophet reached Medina the
news of Ghadeer spread every where that Ali is the master of every Muslim.
one man ,a Muslim of that time ( Is he not Sahabi ?) but enemy of Hazrat Ali
,named Haras bin Nooman Faheri came to the mosque of Holy Prophet in a very
aggressive mood and shouted Ya Mohammad ! You told us about God we
believed , You told us about your Prophet hood we believed , You asked for
prayer we did, You ordered to keep fast we obeyed you, You asked for Zakah we
gave, was it not sufficient ? that you made Ali as our master, just tell me
that this order is from you or from God ? The Holy Prophet replied that this
order is from God. On this the most unlucky person said that if it is from God
than ask the God to drop a stone on me ! ! ( just think , such people were
there in Medina who preferred Azab-e-Ilahi than to accept Ali as their
master.) As he left the mosque a stone dropped from the sky on his head and
he died on the spot. ( I will say that he hurried, if he could have waited
for few months more things were going to happen of his choice. After the
death of Holy Prophet same happened what he wanted . Very important point to
be considered is , that what he said , We believed in God, We believed in
Risalat We prayed , We kept fast ,We gave Zaka but in spite of all he faced a
horrible end only because that he did not accept the Welayat of Ali, he did
not accept Ali as his master so every thing went in vain. Therefore, it is
lesson for all those who have not accepted Ali as their master and putting
their best in Ebadaat must know that their end is not going to be different

in His book which is laid down with Him: My mercy prevails over my wrath.
It was related by Muslim (also by al-Bukhari, an-Nasa'i and Ibn Majah).
- On the authority of Abu
Hurayrah (may Allah be pleased with him), who said that the Messenger of
Allah (PBUH) said: Allah Almighty has said: The son of Adam denied Me and
he had no right to do so. And he reviled Me and he had no right to do so.
As for his denying Me, it is his saying: He will not remake me as He made
me at first (1) - and the initial creation [of him] is no easier for Me than
remaking him. As for his reviling Me, it is his saying: Allah has taken to
Himself a son, while I am the One, the Everlasting Refuge. I begot not nor
was I begotten, and there is none comparable to Me.
(1) i.e., bring me back to life after death.
It was related by al-Bukhari (also by an-Nasa'i).
- On the authority of Zayd ibn
Khalid al-Juhaniyy (may Allah be pleased with him), who said:
The Messenger of Allah (may the blessings and peace of Allah be upon him)
led the morning prayer for
us at al-Hudaybiyah following rainfall during the night. When the Prophet
(may the blessings and peace
of Allah be upon him) finished, he faced the people and said to them: Do you
know what your Lord has
said? They said: Allah and his Messenger know best. He said: This morning
one of my servants became
a believer in Me and one a disbeliever. As for him who said: We have been
given rain by virtue of Allah
and His mercy, that one is a believer in Me, a disbeliever in the stars (2);
and as for him who said: We
have been given rain by such-and-such a star, that one is a disbeliever in
Me, a believer in the stars.
(2) The pre-Islamic Arabs believed that rain was brought about by the movement
of stars. This Hadith
draws attention to the fact that whatever be the direct cause of such natural
phenomena as rain, it is
Allah the Almighty who is the Disposer of all things.
It is related by al-Bukhari (also by Malik and an-Nasa'i).

Allah (PBUH) said: Allah said:
Sons of Adam inveigh against [the vicissitudes of] Time, and I am Time, in
My hand is the night and the
day (1).
(1) As the Almighty is the Ordainer of all things, to inveigh aginst misfortunes
that are part of Time is
tantamount to inveighing against Him.
It was related by al-Bukhari (also by Muslim).
- On the authority of Abu Hurayrah
(may Allah be pleased with him), who said that the Messenger of
Allah (PBUH) said: Allah (glorified and exalted be He) said:
I am so self-sufficient that I am in no need of having an associate. Thus
he who does an action for
someone else's sake as well as Mine will have that action renounced by Me
to him whom he associated
with Me.
It was related by Muslim (also by Ibn Majah).
- On the authority of Abu Hurayrah
(may Allah be pleased with him), who said: I heard the Messenger of
Allah (PBUH) say:
The first of people against whom judgment will be pronounced on the Day of
Resurrection will be a man
who died a martyr. He will be brought and Allah will make known to him His
favours and he will
recognize them. [ The Almighty] will say: And what did you do about them?
He will say: I fought for you
until I died a martyr. He will say: You have lied - you did but fight that
it might be said [of you]: He is
courageous. And so it was said. Then he will be ordered to be dragged along
on his face until he is cast
into Hell-fire. [Another] will be a man who has studied [religious] knowledge
and has taught it and who
used to recite the Quran. He will be brought and Allah will make known to
his His favours and he will
recognize them. [The Almighty] will say: And what did you do about them? He
will say: I studied
[religious] knowledge and I taught it and I recited the Quran for Your sake.
He will say: You have lied -
you did but study [religious] knowledge that it might be said [of you]: He
is learned. And you recited the
Quran that it might be said [of you]: He is a reciter. And so it was said.
Then he will be ordered to be
dragged along on his face until he is cast into Hell-fire. [Another] will
be a man whom Allah had made
rich and to whom He had given all kinds of wealth. He will be brought and
Allah will make known to his
His favours and he will recognize them. [The Almighty] will say: And what
did you do about them? He
will say: I left no path [untrodden] in which You like money to be spent without
spending in it for Your
sake. He will say: You have lied - you did but do so that it might be said
[of you]: He is open-handed.
And so it was said. Then he will be ordered to be dragged along on his face
until he is cast into Hell-fire.

Amir (may Allah be pleased with him), who said: I heard the messenger of
Allah (PBUH) say:
Your Lord delights at a shepherd who, on the peak of a mountain crag, gives
the call to prayer and
prays. Then Allah (glorified and exalted be He) say: Look at this servant
of Mine, he gives the call to
prayer and performs the prayers; he is in awe of Me. I have forgiven My servant
[his sins] and have
admitted him to Paradise.
It was related by an-Nasa'i with a good chain of authorities.
- On the authority of Abu Hurayrah
(may Allah be pleased with him) from the Prophet (PBUH), who said:
A prayer performed by someone who has not recited the Essence of the Quran
(1) during it is deficient
(and he repeated the word three times), incomplete. Someone said to Abu Hurayrah:
[Even though] we
are behind the imam? (2) He said: Recite it to yourself, for I have heard
the Prophet (may the blessings
and peace of Allah be up on him) say: Allah (mighty and sublime be He), had
said: I have divided prayer
between Myself and My servant into two halves, and My servant shall have what
he has asked for.
When the servant says: Al-hamdu lillahi rabbi l-alamin (3), Allah (mighty
and sublime be He) says: My
servant has praised Me. And when he says: Ar-rahmani r-rahim (4), Allah (mighty
and sublime be He)
says: My servant has extolled Me, and when he says: Maliki yawmi d-din (5),
Allah says: My servant
has glorified Me - and on one occasion He said: My servant has submitted to
My power. And when he
says: Iyyaka na budu wa iyyaka nasta in (6), He says: This is between Me and
My servant, and My
servant shall have what he has asked for. And when he says: Ihdina s-sirata
l- mustaqim, siratal ladhina
an amta alayhim ghayril-maghdubi alayhim wa la d-dallin (7), He says: This
is for My servant, and My
servant shall have what he has asked for.
(1) Surat al-Fatihah, the first surah (chapter) of the Qur'an.
(2) i.e. standing behind the imam (leader) listening to him reciting al-Fatihah.
(3) "Praise be to Allah, Lord of the Worlds."
(4) "The Merciful, the Compassionate".
(5) "Master of the Day of Judgement".
(6) "It is You we worship and it is You we ask for help".
(7) "Guide us to the straight path, the path of those upon whom You have
bestowed favors, not of those
against whom You are angry, nor of those who are astray".
It was related by Muslim (also by Malik, at-Tirmidhi, Abu-Dawud, an-Nasa'i
and Ibn Majah).
- On the authority of Abu Harayrah
(may Allah be pleased with him) from the Prophet (PBUH), who said:
Allah (mighty and sublime be He) says:
The fist of his actions for which a servant of Allah will be held accountable
on the Day of Resurrection
will be his prayers. If they are in order, then he will have prospered and
succeeded: and if they are
wanting, then he will have failed and lost. If there is something defective
in his obligatory prayers, the
Lord (glorified and exalted be He) will say: See if My servant has any supererogatory
prayers with
which may be completed that which was defective in his obligatory prayers.
Then the rest of his actions
will be judged in like fashion.
It was related by at-Tirmidhi (also by Abu Dawud, an-Nasa'i, Ibn Majah and
Ahmad).
- On the authority of Abu Harayrah
(may Allah be pleased with him) from the Prophet (PBUH), who said:
Allah (mighty and sublime be He) says:
Fasting is Mine and it I who give reward for it. [A man] gives up his sexual
passion, his food and his
drink for my sake. Fasting is like a shield, and he who fasts has two joys:
a joy whin he breaks his fast
and a joy when he meets his Lord. The change in the breath of the mouth of
him who fasts is better in
Allah's estimation than the smell of musk.
- On the authority of Abu Harayrah
(may Allah be pleased with him) from the Prophet (PBUH), who said:
Allah (mighty and sublime be He) said:
Spend (on charity), O son of Adam, and I shall spend on you.
It was related by al-Bukhari (also by Muslim).
- On the authority of Abu Mas'ud
al-Ansari (may Allah be pleased with him), who said that the Messenger
of Allah (may the blessings and peace of Allah be upon him) said:
A man from among those who were before you was called to account. Nothing
in the way of good was
found for him except that he used to have dealings with people and, being
well-to-do, he would order his
servants to let off the man in straitened circumstances [from repaying his
debt]. He (the Prophet p.b.u.h)
said that Allah said: We are worthier than you of that (of being so generous).
Let him off.
It was related by Muslim (also by al-Bukhari and an-Nasa'i).
- On the authority of Adiyy ibn
Hatim (may Allah be pleased with him), who said:
I was with the Messenger of Allah (may the blessings and peace of Allah be
upon him) and there came
to him two men: one of them was complaining of penury (being very poor), while
the other was
complaining of brigandry (robbery). The Messenger of Allah (may the blessings
and peace of Allah be
upon him) said: As for brigandry, it will be but a short time before a caravan
will [be able to] go out of
Mecca without a guard. As for penury, the Hour (Day of Judgement) will not
arrive before one of you
takes his charity around without finding anyone to accept it from him. Then
(1) one of you will surely
stand before Allah, there being no screed between Him and him, nor an interpreter
to translate for him.
Then He will say to him: Did I not bring you wealth? And he will say: Yes.
Then He will say: Did I not
send to you a messenger? And he will say: Yes. And he will look to his right
and will see nothing but
Hell-fire, then he will look to his left and will see nothing but Hell-fire,
so let each of you protect himself
against Hell-fire, be it with even half a date - and if he finds it not, then
with a kind word.
- On the authority of Abu Harayrah
(may Allah be pleased with him) from the Prophet (PBUH), who said:
Allah (glorified and exalted be He) has supernumerary angels who rove about
seeking out gatherings in
which Allah's name is being invoked: they sit with them and fold their wings
round each other, fillin that
which is between them and between the lowest heaven. When [the people in the
gathering] depart, [the
angels] ascend and rise up to heaven. He (the Prophet p.b.u.h.) said: Then
Allah (mighty and sublime be
He) asks them - [though] He is most knowing about them: From where have you
come? And they say:
We have come from some servants of Yours on Earth: they were glorifying You
(Subhana llah), exalting
you (Allahu akbar), witnessing that there is no god but You (La ilaha illa
llah), praising You (Al-Hamdu
lillah), and asking [favours] of You. He says: And what do they ask of Me?
They say: They ask of You
Your Paradise. He says: And have they seen My Paradise? They say: No, O Lord.
He says: And how
would it be were they to have seen My Paradise! They say: And they ask protection
of You. He says:
From what do they ask protection of Me? They say: From Your Hell-fire, O Lord.
He says: And have
they seen My Hell-fire? They say: NO. He says: And how would it be were they
to have seen My
Hell-fire: They say: And they ask for Your forgiveness. He (the Prophet p.b.u.h)
said: Then He says: I
have forgiven them and I have bestowed upon them what they have asked for,and
I have granted them
sanctuary from that from which they asked protection. He (the Prophet p.b.u.h)
said: They say: O Lord,
among then is So-and-so, a much sinning servant, who was merely passing by
and sat down with them.
He (the Prophet p.b.u.h) said: And He says: And to him [too] I have given
forgiveness: he who sits with
such people shall not suffer.
- On the authority of Abu Harayrah
(may Allah be pleased with him), who said that the Prophet (PBUH)
said: Allah the Almighty said:
I am as My servant thinks I am (1). I am with him when he makes mention of
Me. If he makes mention
of Me to himself, I make mention of him to Myself; and if he makes mention
of Me in an assembly, I
make mention of him in an assemble better than it. And if he draws near to
Me an arm's length, I draw
near to him a fathom's length. And if he comes to Me walking, I go to him
at speed.
(1) Another possible rendering of the Arabic is: "I am as My servant
expects Me to be". The meaning
is that forgiveness and acceptance of repentance by the Almighty is subject
to His servant truly
believing that He is forgiving and merciful. However, not to accompany such
belief with right action
would be to mock the Almighty.
It was related by al-Buhkari (also by Muslim, at-Tirmidhi and Ibn-Majah).
- On the authority of son of
Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both), from the Messenger of Allah
(PBUH), among the sayings he related from his Lord (glorified and exalted
be He) is that He said:
Allah has written down the good deeds and the bad ones. Then He explained
it [by saying that] he who
has intended a good deed and has not done it, Allah writes it down with Himself
as a full good deed, but if
he has intended it and has done it, Allah writes it down with Himself as from
ten good deeds to seven
hundred times, or many times over. But if he has intended a bad deed and has
not done it, Allah writes it
down with Himself as a full good deed, but if he has intended it and has done
it, Allah writes it down as
one bad deed.
It was related by al-Bukhari and Muslim.
- On the authority of Abu Dharr
al-Ghifari (may Allah be pleased with him) from the Prophet (PBUH) is
that among the sayings he relates from his Lord (may He be glorified) is that
He said:
O My servants, I have forbidden oppression for Myself and have made it forbidden
amongst you, so do
not oppress one another. O My servants, all of you are astray except for those
I have guided, so seek
guidance of Me and I shall guide you, O My servants, all of you are hungry
except for those I have fed,
so seek food of Me and I shall feed you. O My servants, all of you are naked
except for those I have
clothed, so seek clothing of Me and I shall clothe you. O My servants, you
sin by night and by day, and I
forgive all sins, so seek forgiveness of Me and I shall forgive you. O My
servants, you will not attain
harming Me so as to harm Me, and will not attain benefitting Me so as to benefit
Me. O My servants,
were the first of you and the last of you, the human of you and the jinn of
you to be as pious as the most
pious heart of any one man of you, that would not increase My kingdom in anything.
O My servants,
were the first of you and the last of you, the human of you and the jinn of
you to be as wicked as the
most wicked heart of any one man of you, that would not decrease My kingdom
in anything. O My
servants, were the first of you and the last of you, the human of you and
the jinn of you to rise up in one
place and make a request of Me, and were I to give everyone what he requested,
that would not
decrease what I have, any more that a needle decreases the sea if put into
it. O My servants, it is but
your deeds that I reckon up for you and then recompense you for, so let him
finds good praise Allah and
let him who finds other that blame no one but himself.

(may Allah be pleased with him), who said that the Messenger of
Allah (PBUH) said: Allah (mighty and sublime be He) will say on the Day of
Resurrection:
O son of Adam, I fell ill and you visited Me not. He will say: O Lord, and
how should I visit You when
You are the Lord of the worlds? He will say: Did you not know that My servant
So-and-so had fallen ill
and you visited him not? Did you not know that had you visited him you would
have found Me with him?
O son of Adam, I asked you for food and you fed Me not. He will say: O Lord,
and how should I feed
You when You are the Lord of the worlds? He will say: Did you not know that
My servant So-and-so
asked you for food and you fed him not? Did you not know that had you fed
him you would surely have
found that (the reward for doing so) with Me? O son of Adam, I asked you to
give Me to drink and you
gave Me not to drink. He will say: O Lord, how should I give You to drink
whin You are the Lord of the
worlds? He will say: My servant So-and-so asked you to give him to drink and
you gave him not to
drink. Had you given him to drink you would have surely found that with Me.

the price; and a
man who has hired a workman, has exacted his due in full from him and has
not given him his wage.

not say [it], so Allah (mighty and sublime be He) says to him on the Day of
Resurrection: What
prevented you from saying something about such-and-such and such-and-such?

My servant draws not
near to Me with anything more loved by Me than the religious duties I have
enjoined upon him, and My
servant continues to draw near to Me with supererogatory works so that I shall
love him. When I love
him I am his hearing with which he hears, his seeing with which he sees, his
hand with which he strikes
and his foot with which he walks. Were he to ask [something] of Me, I would
surely give it to him, and
were he to ask Me for refuge, I would surely grant him it. I do not hesitate
about anything as much as I
hesitate about [seizing] the soul of My faithful servant: he hates death and
I hate hurting him.

meagre means and much
given to prayer, who has been particular in the worship of his Lord and has
obeyed Him inwardly (1),
who was obscure among people and not pointed our, and whose sustenance was
just sufficient to provide
for him yet he bore this patiently. Then the Prophet (pbuh) rapped his hand
and said: Death will have
come early to him, his mourners will have been few, his estate scant.

We asked Abdullah (i.e. Ibn Masud) about this verse: And do not regard those
who have been killed in
the cause of Allah as dead, rather are they alive with their Lord, being provided
for (Quran Chapter 3
Verse 169). He said: We asked about that and the Prophet (pbuh) said: Their
souls are in the insides of
green birds having lanterns suspended from the Throne, roaming freely in Paradise
where they please,
then taking shelter in those lanterns. So their Lord cast a glance at them
(1) and said: Do you wish for
anything? They said: What shall we wish for when we roam freely in Paradise
where we please? And
thus did He do to them three times. When they say that they would not be spared
from being asked
[again], they said: O Lord, we would like for You to put back our souls into

If My servant likes to meet Me, I like to meet him; and if he dislikes to
meet Me, I dislike to meet him.
Prophetic explanation of this Sacred Hadith: He who likes to meet Allah, Allah
likes to meet him; and he
who dislikes to meet Allah, Allah dislikes to meet him. Aishah (may Allah
be pleased with her) said: O
Prophet of Allah, is it because of the dislike of death, for all of us dislike
death? The Prophet (pbuh)
said: It is not so, but rather it is that when the believer is given news
of Allah's mercy, His approval and
His Paradise, he likes to meet Allah and Allah likes to meet him; but when
the unbeliever is given news
of Allah's punishment and His displeasure, he dislikes to meet Allah and Allah
dislikes to meet him.

Almighty said: Who is he who
swears by Me that I will not forgive So-and-so? Verily I have forgiven So-and-so
and have nullified your
[own good] deeds (1) (or as he said [it]).

Allah (PBUH) said:
A man sinned greatly against himself, and when death came to him he charged
his sons, saying: When I
have died, burn me, then crush me and scatter [my ashes] into the sea, for,
by Allah, if my Lord takes
possession of me, He will punish me in a manner in which He has punished no
one [else]. So they did that
to him. Then He said to the earth: Produce what you have taken-and there he
was! And He said to him:
What induced you to do what you did? He said: Being afraid of You, O my Lord
(or he said: Being
frightened of You) and because of that He forgave him.

And He (glorified and
exalted be He) said: My servant has committed a sin and has known that he
has a Lord who forgives
sins and punishes for them. Then he sinned again and said: O Lord, forgive
me my sin. And He (glorified
and exalted be He) said: My servant has committed a sin and has known that
he has a Lord who
forgives sins and punishes for them. Then he sinned again and said: O Lord,
forgive me my sin. And He

(PBUH) say: Allah the Almighty said:
O son of Adam, so long as you call upon Me and ask of Me, I shall forgive
you for what you have done,
and I shall not mind. O son of Adam, were your sins to reach the clouds of
the sky and were you then to
ask forgiveness of Me, I would forgive you. O son of Adam, were you to come
to Me with sins nearly as
great as the earth and were you then to face Me, ascribing no partner to Me,
I would bring you
forgiveness nearly as great at it.

(may Allah be pleased with him), who said that the Messenger of
Allah (PBUH) said:

final third of the night, and He says: Who is saying a prayer to Me that I
may answer it? Who is asking
something of Me that I may give it him? Who is asking forgiveness of Me that
I may forgive him?

- On the authority of Anas (may
Allah be pleased with him) from the Prophet (PBUH), who said:
The believers will gather together on the Day of Resurrection and will say:
Should we not ask [someone]
to intercede for us with our Lord? So they will come to Adam and will say:
You are the Father of
mankind; Allah created you with His hand He made His angels bow down to you
and He taught you the
names of everything, so intercede for us with you Lord so that He may give
us relief form this place
where we are. And he will say: I am not in a position [to do that] - and he
will mention his wrongdoing and
will feel ashamed and will say: Go to Noah, for he is the first messenger
that Allah sent to the
inhabitants of the earth. So they will come to him and he will say: I am not
in a position [to do that] - and
he will mention his having requested something of his Lord about which he
had no [proper] knowledge
(Quran Chapter 11 Verses 45-46), and he will feel ashamed and will say: Go
to the Friend of the
Merciful (Abraham). So they will come to him and he will say: I am not in
a position [to do that]. Go to
Moses, a servant to whom Allah talked and to whom He gave the Torah. So they
will come to him and he
will say: I am not in a position [to do that] - and he will mention the talking
of a life other that for a life
(Quran Chapter 28 Verses 15-16), and he will fell ashamed in the sight of
his Lord and will say: Go to
Jesus, Allah's servant and messenger, Allah's word and spirit. So they will
come to him and he will say: I
am not in a position [to do that]. Go to Muhammad (may the blessings and peace
of Allah be upon him),
a servant to whom Allah has forgiven all his wrongdoing, past and future.
So they will come to me and I
shall set forth to ask permission to come to my Lord, and permission will
be given, and when I shall see
my Lord I shall prostrate myself. He will leave me thus for such time as it
pleases Him, and then it will
be said [to me]: Raise your head. Ask and it will be granted. Speak and it
will be heard. Intercede and
your intercession will be accepted. So I shall raise my head and praise Him
with a form of praise that He
will teach me. Then I shall intercede and HE will set me a limit [as to the
number of people], so I shall
admit them into Paradise. Then I shall return to Him, and when I shall see
my Lord [I shall bow down] as
before. Then I shall intercede and He will set me a limit [as to the number
of people]. So I shall admit
them into Paradise. Then I shall return for a third time, then a fourth, and
I shall say: There remains in
Hell-fire only those whom the Quran has confined and who must be there for
eternity. There shall come
out of Hell-fire he who has said: There is no god but Allah and who has in
his heart goodness weighing a
barley-corn; then there shall come out of Hell-fire he who has said: There
is no god but Allah and who
has in his heart goodness weighing a grain of wheat; then there shall come
out of Hell-fire he who has
said: There is no god but Allah and who has in his heart goodness weighing
an atom.

When Allah created Paradise and Hell-fire, He sent Gabriel to Paradise, saying:
Look at it and at what I
have prepared therein for its inhabitants. The Prophet (pbuh) said: So he
came to it and looked at it and
at what Allah had prepared therein for its inhabitants. The Prophet (pbuh)
said: So he returned to Him
and said: By your glory, no one hears of it without entering it. So He ordered
that it be encompassed by
forms of hardship, and He said: Return to it and look at what I have prepared
therein for its inhabitants.
The Prophet (pbuh) said: So he returned to it and found that it was encompassed
by forms of hardship
(1). Then he returned to Him and said: By Your glory, I fear that no one will
enter it. He said: Go to
Hell-fire and look at it and what I have prepared therein for its inhabitants,
and he fount that it was in
layers, one above the other. Then he returned to Him and said: By Your glory,
no one who hears of it
will enter it. So He ordered that it be encompassed by lusts. Then He said:
Return to it. And he returned
to it and said: By Your glory, I am frightened that no one will escape from
entering it.

of which is "things that are disliked".

Paradise said: In me are the weak and the poor. So Allah judged between them,
[saying]: You are
Paradise, My mercy; through you I show mercy to those I wish. And you are
Hell-fire, My punishment;
through you I punish those I wish, and it is incumbent upon Me that each of
you shall have its fill.

Allah will say to the inhabitant of Paradise: O inhabitants of Paradise! They
will say: O our Lord, we
present ourselves and are at Your pleasure, and goodness rests in Your hands.
Then He will say: Are
you contented? And they will say: And how should we not be contented, O Lord,
when You have given to
us that which You have given to no one else of Your creation? Then He will
say: Would not like Me to
give you something better than that? And they will say: O Lord and what thing
is better than that? And
He will say: I shall cause My favour to descend upon you and thereafter shall
never be displeased with
you.

-
The last third of the night is a favored time because Allah descends to the lowest heaven in that time and says, "Is there anyone asking
for something so that I may grant him." Another favored time is between the adhan and iqamah, as the Prophet (sallallahu alaiyhi wassallam)
told Anas(R.A.), "Supplication between adhan and iqamah will never be rejected. So call upon Allah at that time."(Authentic, Ibn Khuzaimah).
Another favored time is in sujud, as the Prophet (sallallahu alaiyhi wassallam) said, "The servant is closest to his Lord while in sujud, so ask
Allah in that time." Friday is also a preferred, especially in the last hour before maghrib. Also, while the roosters crow, since the Prophet
(sallallahu alaiyhi wassallam) said, "When you hear the crowing of the rooster ask Allah from His favors because it saw an angel.
And if you hear the braying of a donkey,seek refuge with Allah because it saw a devil." Since the Prophet (sallallahu alaiyhi wassallam)
said, "Two supplications will not be rejected: the supplication during adhan and under rain," (hasan) then these two times are preferred for
dua. Supplication on Laylat'ul-Qadr, since it is a blessed and honored time.
Aisha(radhiyallahu anha) asked the Prophet (sallallahu alaiyhi wassallam) "What should I say on Laylat'il-qadr?" And he replied, "
O Allah, indeed you are a Pardoner, and you love pardon; so pardon me." Umm Salamah(radhiyallahu anha) said, the Prophet
(sallallahu alaiyhi wassallam) entered when Abu Salamah(radhiyallahu anha) was dying and he was looking at the heaven.
So the Prophet (sallallahu alaiyhi wassallam) closed his eyes and said, "When the soul is being seized, the eyes follow it."
Then some people from his relatives panicked. The Prophet (sallallahu alaiyhi wassallam) said, "Do not make du'a except
for good.Indeed the angels will say, 'Ameen' for whatever you say. O Allah, forgive Abu Salamah, and raise his rank
and forgive us and forgive him, O Lord of the Universe, and expand his grave and illuminate it."
-
You can make dua for Others. The Prophet(sallallahu alaihi wa salam) said: "
Whenever you make a supplication for another believer and he is not present,
an angel will say 'and same to you.'" One of the ethics when making dua to
others is that, if you are going to make dua for yourself and others,start
with yourself first, then you make dua to others. But if you are going to
make dua for others only, then you don't have to mention yourself first.
An example of starting with one's self is seen is the verse, "And those who
came after them say, 'Our Lord! Forgive us and our brethren who were before us in the faith.'"
-
Don't make Dua'a against yourself or against your children. The Prophet
(sallallahu alaiyhi wassallam) said, "Don't make dua against yourselves.
Don't make dua against your children. Don't make dua against your maids.
And don't make dua against your wealth. It might be in a time in which Allah answers the prayers.
-
When ye sought help of your Lord and He answered you (saying): I will help you
with a thousand of the angels, rank on rank. Allah appointed it only as good tidings,
and that your hearts thereby might be at rest. Victory cometh only by the help of Allah.
Lo! Allah is Mighty, Wise." (8:9-10) It's from the Sunnah to make dua for the Muslims all
over the world,especially in the month of victory, the month of Ramadan. The Prophet
(sallallahu alaihi wa salam) made dua at the night before the Battle of Badr,which took
place in the month of Ramadan, until his upper garment fell. By dawn, he came with the glad
tiding from Allah Ta'ala, to the believers,concerning their enemies, "Their multitude will
be put to flight, and they will show their backs. Nay but the Hour is their appointed time,
and the Hour will be more grievous and more bitter." (54:45-46)
-
The Prophet(sallallahu alaihi wa sallam) said that: "Every messenger has a Supplication
that will be accepted, and I have saved my Supplication as a Shafaa Intersession for my
Nation on the Day of Judgment". May Allah make us among those who follow and emulate
His Prophet(sallallahu alaihi wa salam), till they receive his intersession on the Day
of Judgment. We beg Allah, tala, that He forgives the ones who wrote this article,
and forgives the Muslims among their parents. May He benefit the readers, and guide
them to the path of His beloved. We ask Allah by His most beautiful names to show
mercy to those who spread guidance and stand together upon the truth. Ameen.

Hazrat Abu Hurairah(radhiyallahu anhu) reported that Rasullullah(sallallahu alaiyhi wassallam)
said : " On the last night of Ramadhaan, my ummah is forgiven. He was asked if that meant on
Laylatul Qadr and he said: “No”. (This merit is for the last night, the merits of Laylatul Qadr
are quite apart.) “The truth is that full wages are paid to the worker when the work is over
and the work is completed in the last night. Hence, they are forgiven.” (Ahmad)
-
"The Prophet, sallaallahu `alayhi wa sallam, enjoined the payment of one Sa'a of dates
or one Sa'a of barley as Sadaqatul-Fitr on every Muslim, young and old, male and female,
free and slave."
-
Ibn Abbas(radhiyallahu anhu) said: "The Messenger of Allah, sallaallahu `alayhi wa sallam,
enjoined Sadaqatul-Fitr on the one who fasts to shield him from any indecent act or speech
and for the purpose of providing food for the needy."
-
As the first hadeeth indicated, the amount of Zakat al-Fitr(sadaqatul fitr) is one Sa'a.
Sa'a is a volume measure corresponding approximately to the volume of 5 lb of good wheat.
The material of the Sadaqatul Fitr can be either dates, barley, wheat, rice, corn or similar
items considered as basic foods. Abu Saeed(radhiyallahu anhu) said: "We used to give for
Sadaqatul-Fitr on behalf of every child, aged person, free man or slave during the lifetime
of the Messenger of Allah, sallaallahu `alayhe wa sallam, one Sa'a of food, or one Sa'a of
dried yogurt, or one Sa'a of barley, or one Sa'a of dates, or one Sa'a of raisins."
-
Prophet, sallaallahu `alayhi wa sallam, ordered them to pay Sadaqatul-Fitr before
they go out to perform the Eid prayer. If Sadaqatul-Fitr is paid after the Eid prayer,
it will only be considered as regular charity. The Prophet, sallaallahu `alayhi wa sallam,
said: "If one pays Sadaqatul-Fitr before the Salat, it is considered an accepted charity,
if he pays it after the Salat, it is considered an ordinary charity."
-
Rasullullah (Sallallahu alayhi wasailam) said: "The fast remains suspended between heaven
and earth until the Fitrah is paid:-
-
Allah has divided His mercy into one hundred parts.He has retained with Him the
ninety-nine parts and has sent down to this earth only one part.On account of this one part,
living beings deal with one another with kindness and mercy,as do parents with their children
,brothers and sisters,friends and relations,etc.At the time of suckling its young one a
quadruped raises up its leg to protect its young one from harm.This is also due to this
one part of mercy.Almighty Allah has retained the ninety nine parts of mercy to shower
them on His servants in the Hereafter.This gives only a faint idea of the infinite mercy
of Allah".
-
Holy Prophet (sallallahu alaiyhi wassalaam) has insisted upon us that we should
never despair of the mercy of Allah Who has reserved with Him ninety -nine parts of
His mercy for distribution among His servants in the Hereafter.Will He then deprive
one of His mercy here or there?No never!The only condition for one to deserve this
that one should attract His mercy by means of Taubah (repentance) and Istighfar
(seeking forgiveness).The more one turns to Allah in repentance and to seeking His
forgiveness,the more will one qualify oneself for His mercy and this will bring one
salvation in the Hereafter.
-
Hazrat Ayesha (may Allah be pleased with her) said: “O Allah’s prophet, if I know
which night is the Lailat ul Qadr then what should I pray? He replied: You should pray:
O Allah you are very forgiving and love those who forgive other. So, bestow your
blessings on me and forgive me.
-
Hazrat Mughaira bin Shoba(R.A.) reports that in the lifetime of Rasullullah
(sallallahu alaiyhi wasallam) the sun eclipsed on the day on which (his son)
Ibraheem died, so people said that the eclipse had occurred because of the
death of Ibraheem. Rasulullah(sallallahu alaiyhi wasallam) upon it, observed
that: " The solar or lunar eclipse did not take place because of the death or
birth of anyone (but it was the sign of the Power and Splendour of Allah).
Thus, when you see the eclipse, offer salaat and remember Allah much."
-
During the lifetime of Rasullullah(sallallahu alaiyhi wasallam) the sun was
totally eclipsed on the day his infant son Ibraheem(R.A.),died at the age of
about 1 and half years. Some authorities also say that this took place in
10 A.H. in Rabi-ul-Awwal. Nevertheless, Rasulullah(sallallahu alaiyhi wasallam)
mentioned that, the sun or moon are two signs of Allah Ta'ala which do not
eclipse on account of the birth or death of anyone. When such an event occurs,
one should turn to Allah Ta'ala and beseech Him for mercy and forgiveness with
deep devotion.Increase the recitation of Subhanallah,Allhamdu-lillah,
Allahu-Akbar and Istighfaar.
-
Rasulullah(sallallahu alaiyhi wasallam) made a prolonged prostration
(sajda) at the time of the eclipse. Afterwards he went away while the sun shone fully.
He addressed the people and praised Allah and eulogised Him and the said: Verily the
sun and moon are signs of Allah. They do not eclipse for the death of anybody,nor after
his birth. So when you see that,read Takbir,send blessings and give alms(charity).
Then he said: O People,there is none who is more enraged than Allah(to see)
His servant commits fornication. O People,had you known what I know,you would
certainly laughed little and wept much.
-
Abu Musa(R.A.) reported that the sun(once) eclipsed. Then Rasulullah
(sallallahu alaiyhi wasallam) stood with horror fearing that the Hour had
come.He came to the masjid and prayed with the longest of standing,bowing(ruku)
and prostrating(sajda) which I did never see him doing before. He said:
These are signs which Allah sends not for death of anybody,nor for his
birth but He produces dread therewith His servants. So when you see
anything of that,hasten to remember Him and seek forgiveness from Him.
-
Abdur-Rahman-bi-Samurah(R.A.) reports that,there was a solar eclipse,when
he hurried to Rasulullah(sallallahu alaiyhi wasallam) to enquire what has
been revealed about the eclipse of the sun.Then I came to him,while he was
in prayer,raising his hands.;he began to read Tasbih, Tahlil,Takbir and
Tahmid and invoke Allah till he became tired of it.When he was tired of
it,he read two chapters(surahs) and prayed two rakaats.
-
Asthma -bin-Abu Bakr(R.A.) reported that Rasulullah(sallallahu alaiyhi wasallam)
ordered manumission of slaves at the time of the solar eclipse.
-
The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: “Whoever breaks his
fast in Ramadan by mistake does not have to make it up or offer any expiation.
-
Whoever forgets when he is fasting and eats or drinks, let him complete his fast,
for it is Allaah Who has fed him and given him to drink.
-
Whoever gives iftar to one who is fasting will have a reward like his,
without that detracting from the reward of the fasting person in the slightest.
-
Perform the obligatories, you will be the most pious.
-
To be content is an endless wealth.
-
Humbleness elevates, so be humble, Allah will elevate you.
-
The best faith is to know (surely) that Allah is with you wherever you are.
-
Faith and good deeds are brothers and partners, Allah does not accept any of them without the other.
-
Trustworthiness brings richness and untrustworthiness brings poverty.
-
You will never contain people with your wealth, so contain them with your good morals.
-
Allah dislikes the person who is aware of the worldly things and unaware of the hereafter.
-
Being good to your relatives increases your life and drives away poverty from you.
-
A word of wisdom listened to by a believer is better than a year of worshipping.
-
The noblest words are remembering Allah and the head of wisdom is obeying Him.
-
Whosoever spends his life time in seeking worldly things is a looser and going astray.
-
Whosoever fears from (disobeying) Allah, Allah will make everything fear him and
whosoever does not fear from (disobeying) Allah, Allah will make him fear everything.
-
When Allah gifts goodness to a person, He increases his knowledge in religion,
decreases his attachment to worldly things and makes him aware of his weaknesses.
-
"If anyone who has kept the fasts in Ramadhaan, follows them up with six (optional) fasts
of Shawwaal then (he will get reward for the fasts of a year but if he does that always)
it is as if he fasted all his life.
-
Joining six days of the fasts of shawwaal is equal to the fast of the whole year.
Each good act is equal to ten such acts.
-
Hazrat Abu Hurairah (RA) narrates that Rasulullah (Sallallaahu Alayhi
Wasallam) said, 'When a person proposes a marriage to you (for a female in
your family) and you are happy with his religion and character, then marry
him (accept his proposal). If you do not do that, there will be corruption
and widespread evil on earth.'
-
The Prophet (Sallallaahu Álayhi Wasallam) is reported to have said in
connection with the treatment of animals: 'Fear Allah in your treatment of
these animals who cannot speak.' If this was his concern for the animals,
how tremendously greater would his concern have been for humans; therefore,
can you imagine what his reaction would have been to the wife battering that
takes place nowadays?
-
The Prophet (Sallallaahu Álayhi Wasallam) has advised us to
take pleasure in the good and overlook the bad. Have you ever spared the
thought that there may be so many habits which you possess that may be
bringing grief to your wife? She may have been patiently bearing it not
wanting to hurt your feelings.Let us go back and fulfil the demands of this contract.
-
Nabi (Sallallaahu Álayhi Wasallam) The best woman (wife) is the one whom, when you
look at her she pleases you, when you command her she obeys you, when you
are not in her presence she safeguards herself and your belongings.'
-
Nabi (Sallallaahu Álayhi Wasallam) beautifully explain:
'Look at those who have less than you, do not look at those who have more
than you, (if you do so) then you are more likely to appreciate Allah's
favours upon you.
-
If a man had to choose a wife according to the guidelines given by
Rasulullah (Sallallaahu Álayhi Wasallam), what kind of a person was he to
look for? The Hadith states: 'A woman is married for four (things); her
wealth, her family status, her beauty and her religion. So choose (marry)
the religious woman, otherwise you will be a loser.'
-
A Hadith of Rasulullah (Sallallaahu Álayhi Wasallam) explains, 'If
I had to command anyone to prostrate to somebody, I would have commanded the
wife to prostrate before her husband.' However, if your husband commands you
to do something against the Shariáh you do not have to obey him.
-
If the objectives of both husband and wife are to please Allah, the couple
will find more common ground on which to build the relationship.
-
Rasulullah (Sallallaahu Álayhi Wasallam) said, 'The most detestable among
the permissible things in the sight of Allah is divorce.' If there is a
dispute between husband and wife, they should first try to resolve it
between themselves, failing which, Allah says, 'Two persons representing the
husband and wife respectively should arbitrate and amicably resolve the
dispute.'
-
Nabi (Sallallaahu Alayhi Wasallam) said, "Generally four aspects are
considered in a woman when choosing her for marriage. These are her wealth,
social standing, beauty and Islamic character and piety. Become successful
by giving preference to her Islamic Character and piety".
-
Rasulullah (Sallallaahu Alayhi Wasallam) is reported to have said that Allah Ta’ala says,
‘O man, you intend something and I intend something (but what transpires at the end of the
day) is what I intend.’
-
The Prophet (SA) stated: ‘There is no better structure founded in Islam other than marriage’.
-
The Prophet (SA) of Allah stated: ‘Whoever chooses to follow my tradilion must get married
and produce offspring through marriage (and increase the population of Muslims) so that on
the day of resurrection I shall confront other Ummahs (nations) with the (great) numbers of
my Ummah’.
-
The Prophet (SA) stated: ‘Whoever gets married, has safeguarded half of his religion’.
-
The Prophet (SA) stated: ‘If I were to bestow all the good of both worlds upon a Muslim
person, I would endow himwith a humble heart, a tongue which continuosuly utters his praises,
a body patient enough to withstand all calamities; and I would give him a pious spouse who,
when she sees him, becomes happy,and protects his preperty and her own honour in his absence’.
-
One person went to the Prophet (SA) and said: ‘I have a wife who always welcomes me when
I come home, and escorts me to the door when I leave. When she finds me sad and unhappy,
she then, by consoling me says: ‘If you are thinking of sustenance, then do not despair,
because Allah provides sustenance; and if you are thinking about the next life, then may
Allah increase your intellect and efforts. Then the Prophet (SA) stated: ‘Allah surely
has functionaries and agents in this world and your wife is one of those. Such a woman
would be rewarded half as much as a martyr’.
-
The Prophet (SA) of Islam stated: ‘Any woman who dies while her husband is pleased with her,
enters Paradise’.
-
The Holy Prophet also stated: “If a woman does not perform her duty as a spouse, she has
not done her duty to Allah.
-
Everyone is thirsty for friendship and kindness. They all like to be loved by others.
-
The heart of a human being thrives on it. A person who is not loved by anyone regards himself
as alone and deserted. Dear lady! Your husband is not any different. He is also in need of
love and affection. Before his marriage the love and affection of his parents fulfilled this
need, but now, he expects you to fulfil it. The man looks towards his spouse to find friendship
and love, which is a requirement of all human beings. He struggles hard to earn a living
and to comfort you. He shares with you all the hardships of life and as your true partner
cares for your happiness even more than your parents. Therefore, express your appreciation
to him and love him, he will love you. Love is a two-way relationship which unites the hearts.
A twenty-year old boy who had come to Tehran to study at the university, fell in love with a
39-year old widow who was his landlady.
-
This was because the woman had fulfilled the empty place of his mother in his heart
through her kindness.
-
If you love your husband and have a good friendship he will be happy and willing to strive
and sacrifice himself for your well-being. A man who enjoys the love of his wife, rarely
suffers from poor health or has emotional problems. If a man is deprived of a warm and
friendly relationship with his spouse, he may become disheartened and may avoid his home.
He may end up spending a great deal of time out of his home in search of friends and
attention. He may say to himself: “Why should I work and support the people who do not
like me. I might as well enjoy myself and try to find genuine friends.
-
A woman may sincerely love her husband, but does not show it or express it very often. It
is not enough to establish the ties of friendship and take it for granted. Occasional
expressions of statements such a “I love you,” “I missed you,” “I am happy to see you,
” help enormously in promoting a good relationship. When the husband is on a trip, the
woman should write letters expressing that she missed him. If there is a telephone at
the man’s office, the wife should phone him occasionally, but not in excess. She should
praise him among friends and relatives when he is absent, and defend him if anyone is
talking against him.
-
The Holy Prophet (SA) stated: ‘The best of you among women are those who possess love and affection’.
-
The Holy Prophet (SA) stated: ‘The duty of a woman is to answer the call at the door
and welcome her husband’.
-
The Holy Prophet (SA) stated: ‘A wife is duty-bound to arrange for a basin and towel to wash
her husband’s hands’.
-
“The Holy Prophet (SA) stated: ‘The duty of a woman is to answer the call at the door and
welcome her husband’.
-
Be careful not to humiliate him, do not talk to him harshly, do not abuse him, do not be
inattentive to him, and do not call him by any obscene titles. If you offend him, he, in
turn, will insult you. Eventually, the spirit of love and trust will erode. Consequently,
you will have constant quarrels and arguments which may lead to a divorce. Even if you
continue to live together, your lives will surely be filled with many turbulent moments.
Feelings of antagonism and psychological disturbances may build up to the point that it
becomes hazardous to the couple’s life in that it may lead to crime. The following stories,
illustrate some of these points.
-
The Holy Prophet (SA) stated: ‘A person with a bad disposition and attitude would be in permanent agony and suffering’
-
There is a tradition reported that the Holy Prophet (SA) was informed of a good woman who
fasted everyday and worshipped Allah every night, but she had an ill-disposed character and

-
The Holy Prophet (SA) stated: ‘Any woman who is not compatible with her husband and persuades
him to act beyond his capacity, then her deeds would not be accepted by Allah. She would taste
the wrath of Allah on the Day of Resurrection’
-

them with, and treats her husband harshly by demanding him to give more than he is able,
then her acts (or worship) are not acceptable by Allah and He will be angry with her’.
-
‘After having faith in Allah, there is not any greater blessing than to have a compatible spouses.

listens to her husband and obeys him, accedes to his wishes in privacy and does not lose her
modesty in any case.
-
“The Prophet (SA) then added: ‘The worst of your women is she who obeys her relatives but does
not submit to the wishes of her husband, is barren and vindictive, is not afraid of committing
bad deeds, adorns herself in the absence of her husband, would not accede to the wishes of her
husband in privacy, would not accept his excuses and would not forgive his mistk’
-
The Prophet (SA) of Islam stated: ‘Any woman who perfumes herself and leaves the house, is
deprived from the blessings of the Almighty Allah until she returns home’.
-
“The Prophet (SA) also stated: ‘The best of you rwomen is one who is obedient towards her husband
, adorns herself for her husband but does not reveal her adornment to strangers; and the worst
of your women is one who adorns herself in the absence of her husband’.
-

act according to his ies’

-
“A woman asked the Prophet (SA) of Allah: ‘What is the duty of a woman with regard to her
husband?’ The Prophet (SA) stated: ‘She must obey him and must not violate his orders’.
-
The Prophet (SA) of Allah also stated: ‘The worst of women is one who is barren, dirty, obstinate and
The Prophet (SA) of Allah stated: ‘Jihad of a woman is in taking care of her husband’
-
A youth who was arrested on charges of theft, blamed his parents for his crime and said: ‘
My parents used to argue everyday after whicthey used to go to their relatives and I used to
go into the streets and wander about. I was then deceived by others and later committed theft’
The Prophet (SA) of Allah stated:
-
At a time when two Muslims refuse to talk to each other and do not reconcile within three days.
both will be out of Islam, and there will not remain any friendship between them. Then any one
of them who takes the initiative to reconcile with the other, would enter Paradise faster
(than the other) on the Day of Judgement’.

rewarded by Allah in the same way that He rewarded Asiyah*, daughter of Muzãhim’
