Dua e Ashura, Moharram ul Haram Dua

Dua-e-Ashurah - An insurance for a year’s Life

Dua e Ashura

In English : Hazrat Imam Zainul Abidain (Radi Allah Anhu) reports that who ever recites this dua on the tenth of Muharram, any time after sunrise and before sunset, or listens to its recitation from someone else, Allah Ta’ala will certainly make it an insurance for a years’ life for him, by keeping death away from him. However, if one is to become the victim of death in that year, they will by some strange coincidence not remember to recite it.

In Urdu: yeh dua Bohot muharib hai.
Hazrat Imam Zainul Abaideen (Radiallahu Ta’ala Anhu) se riwayat hai k..
Jo sakhsh Aashura E Muharram ko Tulu Aftaab se Guroob e Aftaab tak is dua [Dua e Ashura]
ko padh le ya kisi se Padhwa kar su le to Insha Allah tala'a saal bhar us ki Zindagi ka Beema ho jaae ga,

Hargiz maut naa aayiengi aur agar maut aani hai to ajeeb itefaaq hai k Padhne ki taufeeq na hogi.

Islamic Quotes about Life, Prayer For Life

" Prayer For Life "

My dear ALLAH when I loose hope, Help me to remember that, your love is greater than my disappointments & your plans For my life are better than my dreams.

Hazrat Umar (R.A)
"I looked at all friends, and did not find a better friend than safeguarding the tongue. I thought about all dresses, but did not find a better dress than piety. I thought about all types of wealth, but did not find a better wealth than contentment in little. I thought of all types of good deeds, but did not find a better deed than offering good advice. I looked at all types of sustenance, but did not find a better sustenance than patience."

 

 

 

The Importance Of Friday, Significance of Jumma in Islam

Friday Jummah prayer

Image of The Day of Jumma Significance By Prophet Mohammad (P.B.U.H)

Imam Bukhari and Muslim reported that Prophet Mohammad (P.B.U.H) had said, "We (Muslims) came last and yet we are the first on the day of judgment. They have received the books before us (meaning Torah and Injil). We have received the book after them (meaning the Qur’an). Friday was their day to be glorified. However, they disputed on that while Allah had told us Friday is the day to glorify. Thus they will follow us. The Jews glorify Saturday, and the Christians glorify Sunday."

By Sheikh Amin Abu Anas
The Friday prayer (Juma’ah Salat) is very important for each Muslim, male and female,
because it is their weekly Salat and it is a blessing that Allah bestowed on the people of
Muhammad (SAW).

Also reported by Imam Muslim, Abo-Dawod, Al-Nesaii, and Al-Termithi, that Prophet Mohammad (P.B.U.H) had said, "The best day during which the sun have risen is Friday. It is the Day Adam was created. It is the day when Adam entered paradise and also when he was taken out from it. It is also the day on which the day of judgment takes place."

Rasulallah (P.B.U.H) is Reported to have said, “Recite Durood upon me in abundance on the day of Jummah since they are presented to me.” (Ibn Majah)

Reverence Of Mothers In Islam

Salaam and peace, all –
For the past few years, I’ve written about my mother on Mother’s Day. While I could write a book about her, I’ll mention just a few points about motherhood from the Qur’aan and sunnah/traditions of Prophet Muhammad (pbuh).
Did you know?

1. The word for the womb in Arabic (rahm) has the same root as the word for mercy (rahma). God is often referred to as “Ar-Rahmaan” (the Oft-Merciful) in the Qur’aan and commands Muslims to keep the ties of kinship.
2. Mothers are held in a somewhat higher regard than fathers in Islam. Yep, we love our Dads to pieces. But mothers? They’re on a whoooole different level. A companion of Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) once narrated: “A man once came to Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) and said, ‘O Messenger of God, who among the people is most deserving of my kindness/companionship?’ He said, ‘Your mother.’ The man asked, ‘Then who?’ He said, ‘Your mother.’ He asked, then who?’ He said, ‘Your mother.’ He asked, ‘Then who?’ He said, ‘Your father.’” In another tradition, it is reported that he told one of his companions that Paradise is at the feet of the mothers.
3. The Qur’aan mentions having reverence to God and our parents. Meaning, they have such a high place in Islam, that God mentions them right after His name. This doesn’t mean they’re on the same level (to be worshipped), but it does mean they’re meant to be honored and respected. “Be thankful to Me and to your parents, unto Me is the final destination.”[Qur'aan 31:14]
4. Keeping close ties and respecting our mother is a command from God, no matter what religion she’s on. One of the greatest sins in Islam (besides polytheism, murder, injustice, oppression, bearing false witness, etc.) is disobeying our parents. The only time we should not obey them, according to Islamic teachings, is when they command us to do something clearly wrong or heretical. Outside of this, respect and honor is the default. “Your Lord has decreed that you worship none but Him and that you be kind to parents. Whether one or both of them attain old age in your life, say not to them a word of contempt, nor repel them, but address them in terms of honor. And out of kindness, lower to them the wing of humility and say, ‘My Lord! Bestow on them Your Mercy even as they cherished me in childhood.’” [Qur'aan 17:23-24] It was narrated that Asma’ bint Abi Bakr (the prophet’s sister-in-law) said: “My mother came to visit me at the time of the Messenger of God (pbuh) while she was a polytheist. I consulted the Messenger of God (pbuh), saying, ‘My mother has come to visit me for some purpose. Should I uphold ties of kinship with her?’ He said, ‘Yes, uphold ties of kinship with your mother.’”
   
5. If our parents reach old age, it is part of our duty to take care of them. A man once asked a companion of the prophet if he would be rewarded by God for tending to his elderly mother. He told him this was an obligation (i.e., you owe her more than that just for the contractions you caused). “And We have enjoined on man to be dutiful and kind to his parents. His mother bears him with hardship. And she brings him forth with hardship…” [Qur'aan 46:15]
6. Even after death, Muslims are taught to pray for their forgiveness, to keep the ties of kinship, to treat their parents’ friends and family well, and to make sure their debts and obligations are paid up. It was reported from one of the prophet’s companions that a woman from Juhaynah came to the prophet (pbuh) and said: “My mother vowed to go for Hajj, but she died before she did so. Can I perform Hajj on her behalf?” He said, “Yes, perform Hajj on her behalf. Do you not think that if your mother owed a debt that you would pay it off for her? Fulfil her debt to God, for God is more deserving that what is owed to Him should be paid.”

I sometimes wonder what it might have been like without a mother. Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) grew up as an orphan; his father died before he was born, and his mother died when he was about 6 years old. He could have been a “statistic.” But he treated his own caretakers as parents, spreading his cloak for them to sit on, and honoring their friends and relatives in the same way.
Believe it or not, some Islamic scholars have argued that Muslims already have built-in Mother’s Day (everyday), and should not celebrate it once a year or like ‘Eid (and that it may even hurt the feelings of those without mothers). Others have argued that because mothers have such a high status in Islam, it should not be ignored on Mother’s Day. Frankly, I’m pretty sure what Prophet Muhammad (saws) would do, considering the circumstances in the West, but God knows best.
May God preserve the well-being of our mothers who are with us, have mercy on those who have passed, and help us learn the true meaning of mercy.

Three Questions at atime

The following questions relate to the second theme of the Qur’aan (Akhlaaq: Good Manners and Responsibilities Towards Others). It deserves more attention than I can give it, simply because it’s a key part of Islamic teachings. Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) is reported to have said: “I have (only) been sent to teach/perfect/complete noble manners.” Keep in mind: I am not a scholar, so I’ll let Islamic texts speak for themselves. Also, these are Islamic guidelines for your information, not laws meant to be enforced upon anyone.

16. What is a Muslim’s obligation towards God?
Because Islam is based upon both faith and action, the Qur’aan and the Sunnah (traditions of the Prophet) mention guidelines for various relationships, including: man-God, man-other creation, and man-self.
Our responsibility toward God:

• • Iman (belief) and Tawheed (oneness of God): “Say, He is God, One (Unique). God, the Eternal, the Absolute. He begets not, nor is He begotten, and there is none like unto Him.” (Qur’aan: 112) “And verily We have raised in every nation a messenger (proclaiming): Serve God and shun false idols/gods.” (16:36)
  • Ibaadah (worship of God). “There is no messenger that We have sent before you but We have revealed to him, ‘There is no God except Me. So worship Me.” (21:25)
  • Taqwaa (God-consciousness, mindfulness and awareness): “O believers: Have taqwaa of God and believe in His messenger. He (God) will give you a double portion of His mercy and will appoint for you a light wherein you shall walk, and He will forgive you. God is Forgiving, Merciful.” (57:28)

17. What is a Muslim’s duty or moral code towards others?
The default moral code is respect, peace and mercy to all (Muslim or not). Peace is the yearned for ideal, and we ask God for peace in our greetings and in our prayers. War is not a normal or even liked state/condition, but is allowed under strict conditions in Islam in order to return to a more free/just society. Vigilanteism is not accepted in Islam (i.e., random individuals claiming to be leaders who declare war on other states/individuals).
Our relations towards others:

• • Parents: “Your Lord has decreed that you worship none but Him, and be kind to your parents. Whether one or more attain old age in your life, say not to them a word of contempt nor repel them, but address them in terms of honor. And out of kindness, lower to them the wing of humility and say, ‘My Lord! bestow on them Thy Mercy, as they cherished me in childhood.’” (Quran 17: 23-24)
  • Spouses: “And among His signs is this, that He created for you spouses from among yourselves that you may dwell in tranquillity with them, and He has put love and mercy between your hearts. Verily in that are signs for those who reflect.” (30:21) “They are your garments and you are their garments…” (Qur’aan 2:187). “The best of you are those who are best to your wives.” – Prophet Muhammad
  • Children: “And do not kill your children out of fear of poverty. I shall provide for them and for you, too…” [17:31] and “He who does not love children or honor the elderly is not one of us.” and “Every one of you (people) is a shepherd. And every one is responsible for whatever falls under his responsibility. A man is like a shepherd of his own family, and he is responsible for them.” and “It is sufficient sin for a man if he neglects those on whom he is obliged to spend.” - sayings of Prophet Muhammad.
  • Neighbors: “Serve God, and join not any partners with Him; and do good to parents, kinsfolk, orphans, those in need, neighbors who are near, neighbors who are strangers, the companion by your side, the wayfarer, your dependents: For God loves not the arrogant, the vainglorious.” [4:36] “He has not complete faith, who eats to his satisfaction and sleeps comfortably at night while his neighbor goes hungry.” – Prophet Muhammad
  • General Population: “O mankind! We created you from a single soul, male and female, and made you into nations and tribes, so that you may come to know one another. Truly, the most honored of you in the sight of God is the greatest of you in piety (taqwaa). God is All-Knowing, All Aware” (49:13) And “Keep in mind! All of humanity is from Adam, and Adam was fashioned from dust. An Arab has no superiority over a non-Arab, nor does a non-Arab have any superiority over an Arab; a white has no superiority over black, nor does a black have any superiority over a white; [none have superiority over another] except by piety and good action.” and “Harm no one so that no one may harm you.” - sayings of Prophet Muhammad.
    • Muslims: “The believers, men and women, are protectors of one another. They enjoin the good and forbid evil, they observe regular prayers, pay charity, and obey God and His Messenger. On them will God pour His mercy: for God is Exalted in power, Wise.” (9:71), and “You do not have complete faith until you want for your brother what you want for yourself.” - Prophet Muhammad
    • People of the Book and non-Muslims: “We believe in God, and in what has been revealed to us and what was revealed to Abraham, Isma’il, Isaac, Jacob, and the Tribes, and in (the Books) given to Moses, Jesus, and the prophets, from their Lord: We make no distinction between one and another among them, and to God do we submit.” [3:84], and “And dispute ye not with the People of the Book except with means better (than mere disputation) unless it be with those of them who inflict wrong (and injury): but say “We believe in the Revelation which has come down to us and in that which came down to you; Our God and your God is one; and it is to Him that we submit.” [29:46] And “Beware! Whoever is cruel and hard on a non-Muslim minority, curtails their rights, burdens them with more than they can bear, or takes anything from them against their free will; I (Prophet Muhammad) will complain against the person on the Day of Judgment.” – Prophet Muhammad.
    • Environment/Animals: “And seek not mischief/corruption in the land. Indeed, God does not like mischief-makers/corruptors.” [28:77] “And there is no creature on (or within) the earth or a bird that flies with its wings except that they are nations (communities) like you.” [6:38] Also, the Prophet was asked: “Messenger of God, are we rewarded for kindness towards animals?” He said, “There is a reward for kindness to every living thing.”
    • Those who bother, mock or annoy: “And the servants of the Beneficent God are those who walk on the earth in humbleness, and when the ignorant address them, they say: Peace.” [25:63]
  • Against enemies in war (which is naturally allowed when attacked for self-defense, when a peace treaty is broken, or to defend others from tyranny): “Fight in the cause of God against those who fight you, but do not transgress limits. God does not love transgressors.” (2:190), and “If they seek peace, then seek you peace. And trust in God for He is the One that hears and knows all things.” (8:61), and “Had God not checked one set of people by means of another, the earth would indeed have been full of mischief; but God is full of bounty to all the worlds” (2:251), and “If any one slew a person – unless it be for murder or for spreading mischief in the land – it would be as if he slew the whole people.” (5:32) and “God forbids you not, with regards to those who fight you not for [your] faith nor drive you out of your homes, from dealing kindly and justly with them; for God loves those who are just.” (60:8)

18. What is the Man-Self relationship? What are Muslims taught in order to live the best life?:

• • To value our life and what God gave us, and to work for what is best in this life and the next:
    • “I have prepared for My righteous servants what no eye has ever seen and no ear has ever heard, nor has it occurred to any human heart.” - Sacred Hadith
    • “Do you think that We have created you with no purpose, and that you will not be returned to Us? The true Sovereign is too exalted above that.” (23:115-116)
    • “Indeed, in the creation of the heavens and the earth and the alternation of the night and the day are signs for those of understanding, who remember God while standing or sitting or [lying] on their sides and give thought to the creation of the heavens and the earth, [saying], “Our Lord, You did not create this aimlessly; exalted are You [above such a thing]; so protect us from the punishment of the Fire.” [3:189-191].
  • To be patient when tested to earn more of His Grace:
    • “Assuredly We will try/test you with something of danger and hunger and loss of some worldly goods, and of lives and the fruits of your labor. But give glad tidings to those who are patient in adversity–those who, when calamity befalls them, say, ‘Truly, to God we belong and, truly, to Him we shall return.’” [ 2:155-156]
    • “Iman (faith) is to believe in God, His angels, His messengers, His books, The Day of Judgment, and in the Divine Decree, the good and the bad (of it), the bitter and the sweet (of it).” - Prophet Muhammad
  • To seek truth, understanding, and guidance:
    • “Do they not think deeply about themselves? God has not created the heavens and the earth and all that is between them except with truth and for an appointed term.” [30:8]
    • “Seeking knowledge is an obligation upon every Muslim.” – Prophet Muhammad
    • “Praise be to God, Lord of the Worlds, the Most Merciful, the Most Compassionate, the Master of the Day of Judgment. To You do we worship, and to You do we ask for help. 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.” [1:1-7]

Even a Smile is a charity

  

Salaam and peace to all--
What do you think of when you hear “charity”?
Giving to the poor, right?
That’s the standard, and there are various rulings for zakaat (obligatory charity) in Islamic law, but there’s another category of extra charity that brings one closer to God (called “sadaqah”), for which an interesting story comes to mind:
One day, a group of poor Muslims (most of the early ones were, but there were some wealthy ones, too) came to Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him), who himself chose to be one of the poor because of their special status with God. They were apparently despondent and asked: “O Messenger of God, the rich have taken all the rewards! They pray like we pray, they fast like we fast, and they give in charity from their extra wealth (which they could not do).”
He said: “Has not God made things/acts for you to do in charity? Verily, every tasbeeh (glorification of God/SubhaanAllah), every takbeer (exhaulting God/Allahu Akbar), every tahmeedah (praising God/Alhamdulillah), every tahleelah (unification of God, Laa ilaaha ill Allah), every ordering of good, every forbidding of evil…is a charitable act.”
In related hadiths/sayings, he said:
“Your smiling at your brother (or sister) is a charitable act. Your ordering good and eradicating evil is charity. Your guiding a man who is lost in the land is a charity. Your helping the man who is weak in sight to see is a charity. Your removing a stone, thorn or bone from the road is a charity. Your emptying your cup into the cup of your brother is a charitable act.”
The early Muslims were overjoyed at this news, and although they knew the rich could easily do the same, the message conveyed so much more:

• Good deeds go beyond obligatory acts of worship
• Charity goes beyond wealth; even the poor can give in charity!
• Remembrance of God is the peak of goodness, since it sets the stage for other acts
• Helping others is an integral part of our faith: without it, our faith is incomplete.
• If even a smile is charity, we may be greedy when we don’t! Small deeds mean so much. Psychologists now know the effects of smiling for both the one who smiles, and the one being smiled at. Amazing.

[In case anyone is wondering what the connection between charity and dhikr/praising and remembering God with words would be: the point of dhikr is to remember God, to seek His guidance and satisfaction with us, to be aware of His presence, to gain rewards and higher levels of spirituality, and to become better people. By being better people, we should therefore be more apt to do more good deeds, and help influence others to be better, too. And the cycle of "paying it forward" should continue...that's the hope].
If that wasn’t enough to make them happy, the prophet even said (on a separate occasion):

“Keep your evil (deeds) away/safe from the people, and that will be a charitable act from yourself for yourself (and them).”
