  1. The Holy Quran reveals…'' Verily We! We have sent it down on the night of Power. isThe night of Power is better than a thousand months. ﴾3﴿ The angels and the spirit descend therein by the command of their Lord with His decrees for every affair. ﴾4﴿ It is all peace, until the rising of the dawn " ergence of dawn." (Surah Al-Qadr, verse 5) It is known from this Surah that the Holy Quran was revealed on the Night Power, in the month of Ramadan, and it contains a blessed night that is better than a thousand months. The reason for this is that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) mentioned the long lifespans of the previous prophets (peace be upon them), saying, "They lived more than a thousand years or less." In comparison, the lifespans of this nation are approximately seventy or eighty years, or more or less. Therefore, the worship of those people (including prayer, fasting, and other acts of devotion) was greater than the worship of this nation. So, God Almighty gave the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) glad tidings of Laylat al-Qadr (the Night of Decree), which is better than a thousand months and is equivalent to approximately eighty-three years. That is, whoever experiences Laylat al-Qadr, their worship on that night is equivalent to eighty-three years. The question now is: Is it the 25th, 27th, or 29th night of Ramadan? There are differing opinions regarding the date of Laylat al-Qadr. Most scholars predict that it falls on an odd-numbered night of the last ten nights of Ramadan, based on the hadith narrated by Aisha (may God be pleased with her): The Messenger of God (peace and blessings be upon him) said, "Seek Laylat al-Qadr on an odd-numbered night of the last ten nights of Ramadan." [Narrated by al-Bukhari] Narrated by Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her): She asked the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) what supplication she should make if she were to witness Laylat al-Qadr (the Night of Decree). He replied: "O Allah, You are Forgiving and love forgiveness, so forgive me." Meaning: O Allah, You are Forgiving and love forgiveness, so forgive me. We can also recite this supplication repeatedly throughout Ramadan: "I bear witness that there is no god but Allah. I seek forgiveness from Allah. We ask You for Paradise and we seek refuge in You from Hellfire." Therefore, every believer should strive in worship, especially during the last ten nights of Ramadan, to attain Laylat al-Qadr. Amen.

  3. Bye Mohammed Rafique EteSame Ramazan-ul-Mubarak is a most sacred and holy month of the Muslim calendar. It brings good fortune and endless blessings of Allah Almighty. It is a month of forbearance that’s rewards is only Heaven. (Bokhari) Act of fasting was prescribed in all the Shriah of the Holy Prophets (May peace and Mercy of Allah be upon them) and its main purpose is to make Muslims pious and God-fearing as mentioned in the Holy Qura,n “O ye who believe! Fasting is prescribed for you, even as it was prescribed for those before you, that ye may ward off (evil),(The Cow: 183). The Holy Prophet (PBUH) said that the first ten days of Ramazan-nul-Mubarak are for the bounty of Allah , second ten days are for the forgiveness, and the last ten days declare the salvation from Hell to those who keep fasting. (Bokhari, Mishkat-ul-Masabeeh ) He (PBUH) said the former sins of the believers are forgiven who keeps fasting with faith and a sense of accountability. And when the first night of Ramazan falls, an announcement made on behalf of Allah that He Loves him who loves He and He meets him who try to meet He, and Allah will forgive him who seeks forgiveness. Then Allah Orders the twin recording angels to write only virtues and not to write evils and to rub off their former sins .(Zubda-tul-Waizeen) A distinctive feature of Ramazan is that the Holy Quran was revealed in this month from the “Lauh-e-Mahfooz” to the first sky. Whence, it was revealed on the Holy Prophet (PBUH) in the period of 23 years according to the need of the time. Allah Almighty Orddains,” The month of Ramazan in which was revealed the Qur’an, a guidance for mankind, and clear proofs of the guidance and the criterion (of right and wrong). And whosoever of you is present, let him fast the month, and whosoever of you is sick or on a journey, (let him fast the same) number of other days. (The Cow:185) Qur’an is an authentic source of Islamic dogmas, worships, affairs and lays the foundation stone of Islamic legislation. It reveals an abridged outline for individual and social life and guides to all aspects of life in principle. Recitation of the Holy Qur’an gives the mental and spiritual peace and tranquility. The Holy Prophet (PBUH) said that when the month of Ramazan falls all of the evil design, Satans and Jinns tightened in the chains and doors of Hell closed, and a voice from the Heaven calls “O ye who committing evils stop yourself !and O the well wisher! Increase yourself in virtues. And a large number of the people deserving for Hell, are Freed every night. (Tirmadhi, Nasai, Ibn-e-Maja) Ramzan-ul-Mubark is going on. So We should count for such a blessed month and keep fasting.
  4. Bye Mohammed Rafique EteSame EVERY MAN has some hidden fats that, even IF HE wants to hide them, they do not hide but remain visible. For example, if a person is something different inside and something else outside, then whatever he is hiding inside remains visible, no matter how much he tries to hide it, . His movements, postures, mannerisms, and the way he speaks betray his inner self, and the onlookers understand that something is being hidden because the face tells a lot. The inner state of a person can be seen on his face because the eyes are the window to the soul. If a person has a secret relationship with someone, when they come face to face, the way they talk and look at each other, immediately tells that there is something between them... It usually happens that when someone has a secret relationship with someone, those who are watching are suspicious of them at first, then they pay special attention to them and keep a secret watch, and finally their secret is revealed and they are caught red-handed. The most important thing is that there are some things that a person tries to hide throughout his life, but they cannot be hidden and remain visible because a person is prone to sin, he is not an angel, and under the temptation of the ego and Satan, he commits such immoral and unlawful acts that are not capable of being revealed, but they remain visible because Allah, the Exalted, has appointed two angels with every person who keep writing down his good or bad deeds. They are not visible to man, but they keep writing down the deeds that a person does in a 24-hour period. Allah, the Exalted, says: "You deny the reward (9) while over you are appointed watchers (10) the Most High, the Recorder (82;12) who know what you do." And on the Day of Judgment, when a person is given this book of his deeds, he will be amazed that he did not leave out any of my words or deeds, and everything is written in it. Then he will say, "O Allah, Your angels have forgotten that I did not do these things." Then the Quran says: To-day We shall seal upon their mouths, and their hands will speak Unto us, and their feet will bear witness of that which they have been earning. ( Yaseen 65) ﴾65﴿ Therefore, the Sharia will definitely be met because every action has a reaction and every action has a reward, and the Day of Judgment is the day when the good and the bad will receive their full reward for their deeds, and the reckoning will be made one by one, and all people will receive justice from Allah Al almighty and no one will be wronged. ‘‘(الزلزال: ۸) Therefore, those who think that they will escape prosecution despite oppressing someone. Or that there is no one to question them for suppressing someone's right or that there is no one to hold them accountable for what they are doing, are deluded and self-deceiving. Because the truth of their actions will be revealed because the work of truth is not to hide but to be revealed. the function of the truth and reality is not to hide but to remain visible. Because the secret and royal ''witnesses are watching over man. We pray to Allah Almighty to grant us the ability to fulfill all His commands according to the good example of the Holy Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) so that we can avoid all kinds of troubles on the Day of Judgment. Amen.
  5. What is the definition of friendship and how can a true and sincere friend be found? Mohammqad Raeique Etetesame This is an important issue of the present time, how to find the best friend? Friends are of many types and friendship is also with many people, so every person naturally wants someone to be his friend. Because the one who has no friend feels lonely and deserted. Therefore, he is always in search of a friend who is sincere, honest and selfless and is ready to sacrifice everything for the happiness of his friend. And if by chance someone finds such a friend, he feels that a spring has come in his life, like buds sprout, flowers bloom and the colors of the rainbow scatter in the air. But the question is, is it possible to find such a friend in this day and age? Although it is not impossible, it is certainly difficult because usually there are selfish friends who cut the roots of their friends and try to fulfill their own meaning, but in this selfish situation, there is also a true friend of man who stays with his servants forever. He who is not seen but helps his friends and does good to them, who is powerful, has authority and knows how to fulfill his command. Yes, this friend is Allah Almighty! Who is the owner and creator, the king of the universe and the true friend of man. The Holy Quran states this, “Allah is the friend of the believers. He brings the young out of the darkness of disbelief into the light of guidance” (2.257). And he said, “Have they taken other friends besides Allah? Indeed, Allah is the protecting friend, He will give life to the dead, and He is capable of all things.” (Al-Shura: 09) And He said, “If they turn away, then know that Allah is your Friend, the Great Protector, the Great Helper.” (Al-Anfal: 38). The question is, what is the correct definition of friendship and who is called friendship? So a friend is someone who says that whatever I have is not mine but my friend's. Whenever and whatever my friend asks me for, I will immediately give it to him whenever he asks for it ..... Yes, this is the real definition of friendship, but one thing is worth considering, that the limit of friendship is within the scope of reason and Sharia. The purpose of this is that the definition of friendship is that which is permitted by Sharia, that a friend will ask his friend for the same thing that Sharia and reason have permitted him. That is, if his friend is a rich man, then if the other friend is poor, then he should not say to him, "Give me this much money, brother," or if his friend is a single man, then he should not say to his friend, "Brother, give me your daughter or sister in marriage." Therefore, the limit of friendship is within the scope of Sharia and reason. Allah, the Exalted, the Almighty, who is a mighty ruler, the King, and has no partner. It is beyond the human intellect to estimate the power, might, and glory of Allah Almighty, His great authority, and His command over man, as Allah Almighty says in the Holy Quran: “Say: O Allah, Owner of the Kingdom. You grant the kingdom to whomever You will and take it from whomever You will, and honor whomever You will and humiliate whomever You will. In Your hand is all good. Indeed, You are Able to do all things.” And He said: “He is Allah, besides whom there is no god. He is the Knower of the unseen and the seen, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful.” (22) He is Allah, besides whom there is no god. The King, the Pure, the Giver of Peace, the Guardian, the Almighty, the Great. Exalted is He that they should not associate partners with Him. (23) He is Allah, the Creator. The Creation And the Inventor, the Maker of forms. All that is in the heavens and the earth glorifies Him, and He is the Exalted in Might, the Wise. (The Gathering) 59:23 Despite the greatness, majesty, and power of Allah, the Almighty But before that, it is important to know that Allah, the Almighty, who is the true and sincere friend of man, then when a man will establish friendship with him, he must find out what his friend wants from him, what Allah, the Almighty, being the true friend of man, gives to his other friend, man, and what is not in him. But the surprising thing is that despite all these things, he does not have one thing and he demands it from man. This is a very surprising thing. Such a great king has everything but one thing that he does not have. What is it that man has but Allah does not have? Allah, the Almighty, has great power, strength, greatness and greatness. He has everything but one thing that man does not have. What is it that man has? It is humility, modesty, crying, grumbling, expressing his helplessness, helplessness and compulsion, and prostrating himself before Him, calling upon Him, and expressing that you are everything and I am nothing. I am not, if you want, everything will happen, if you want, If a person uses all these things to establish friendship with Allah, the Exalted, then He, that is, his friend, will grant him something that neither his eyes have seen nor his ears have heard of, nor has his mind even imagined these great blessings, namely a great and never-ending life, eternal and everlasting success, unlimited blessings, and everything that is beyond the reach of man. Allah says in the Holy Quran: Those who say, "Our Lord is Allah," and then remain steadfast, the angels will descend upon them (saying): "Fear not, nor grieve, and of the Paradise which you were promised." It is worth noting that anyone who complains about not having a good friend is actually not a good friend himself.
  6. Hatred is the razor, that shaves away the deen!: By Mohammad Rafique Etesame حَدَّثَنَا إِسْمَاعِيلُ بْنُ أَبِي أُوَيْسٍ قَالَ‏:‏ حَدَّثَنِي أَخِي، عَنْ سُلَيْمَانَ بْنِ بِلاَلٍ، عَنْ إِبْرَاهِيمَ بْنِ أَبِي أُسَيْدٍ، عَنْ جَدِّهِ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ، عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صلى الله عليه وسلم قَالَ‏:‏ وَالَّذِي نَفْسِي بِيَدِهِ، لاَ تَدْخُلُوا الْجَنَّةَ حَتَّى تُسْلِمُوا، وَلاَ تُسْلِمُوا حَتَّى تَحَابُّوا، وَأَفْشُوا السَّلاَمَ تَحَابُّوا، وَإِيَّاكُمْ وَالْبُغْضَةَ، فَإِنَّهَا هِيَ الْحَالِقَةُ، لاَ أَقُولُ لَكُمْ‏:‏ تَحْلِقُ الشَّعْرَ، وَلَكِنْ تَحْلِقُ الدِّينَ‏.‏ Abu Hurayra reported that the Prophet, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, said, "By the One in Whose Hand my soul is, you will not enter Paradise until you submit to Islam. And, you will not submit to Islam until you love one another. Extend the greeting to one another and you will love one another. Beware of hatred, for it is the razor. I do not tell you that it shaves the hair, but it shaves away the deen." (الألباني حسن لغيره) This hadith reveals three things, first is that nobody can enter Paradise until he/she accepts Islam, because no other religion except Islam will be accepted in the Day of Resurrection. Second is that, despite acceptance Islam, it is necessary that there should be love, affection and sympathy among the Muslims also. And, to achieve this purpose, greeting should be extended among themselves. And the third is most important, it means that abhorrence, loathing, or abomination etc. should not be among the faithful believer and heart should be clean from malice, ill feeling bitterness and arrogance from others. The holy Prophet PBUH said,” Anyone has an atom's weight of arrogance in his heart will not enter Paradise." A man said:" What if one likes his clothes and shoes to look good?" He said: "Verily, Allah is beautiful and He loves beauty. Arrogance is to reject the truth and look down on people." Sahih/Authentic. - [Muslim] So, in order to entering Paradise, every faithful believer should arrange to act upon this hadith, amin. Reply Report Edit Mohammad Rafoqie Write your reply...

  7. ‏ Abu Hurairah (May Allah be pleased with him) reported:Hadith no.1 I heard the Prophet (ﷺ) saying, "A person utters a word thoughtlessly (i.e., without thinking aboutBe careful about your talking its being good or not) and, as a result of this, he will fall down into the fire of Hell deeper than the distance between the east and the west." According to Islamic teachings, every person should speak in a way that does not hurt anyone's feelings, does not backbite anyone, does not slander anyone, does not abuse anyone, does not deceive anyone, and speaks truthfully and correctly. Otherwise, if a person keeps speaking like this without any purpose, then according to the Hadith Sharif, the result of this conversation will be that that person will fall into the fire of Hell. Therefore, such conversation should be avoided. Hadith no.2 Abu Hurairah (May Allah be pleased with him) reported: The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "A man utters a word pleasing to Allah without considering it of any significance for which Allah exalts his ranks (in Jannah); another one speaks a word displeasing to Allah without considering it of any importance, and for this reason he will sink down into Hell." [Al-Bukhari and Muslim]. To understand the meaning of this Hadith, it is necessary to consider these two verses And thus it is: if We let him taste ease and plenty after hardship has visited him, he is sure to say, 'Gone is all affliction from me!'-for, behold, he is given to vain exultation, and glories only Hud (The Prophet Hud) 11:10 BUT IF they turn away [from thee, O Prophet, know that] We have not sent thee to be their keeper: thou art not bound to do more than deliver the message [entrusted to thee]. And, behold, [such as turn away from Our mes­sages are but impelled by the weakness and incon­stancy of human nature: thus,] when We give man a taste of Our grace, he is prone to exult in it; but if misfortune befalls [any of] them in result of what their own hands have sent forth, then, behold, man shows how bereft he is of all gratitude! Ash-Shura (The Consultation) 42:48 of the Holy Quran in which Allah Almighty has mentioned two states of man. The first state is that when Allah Almighty bestows some blessings on a person or he experiences a state of happiness, he speaks good words in praise of Allah Almighty and becomes happy. On the contrary, if Allah Almighty bestows some misfortune on him or puts him in a state that causes him distress, he speaks bad words in praise of Allah Almighty and nothing happens. However, there are two things for man: when Allah Almighty bestows a blessing on him, he gives thanks, and if a misfortune befalls him, he bears it patiently, that is, he should be in a state of submission and contentment, and he should not speak any bad words in praise of Allah Almighty.

  8. By Mohammad Rafique Etesame The holy Qur,an reveals," Kiraman (honourable) Katibin writing down (your deeds). ."( Al-Infitar (82:11) ﴾11﴿ According to Islamic teachings, Allah Almighty has appointed two angels with every person who is recording his every word and every deed. Allah Almighty has said about them that they know everything. They know everything that you do. They know what this person has done in the morning, in the evening, or at night, secretly or openly. The angels are writing everything. One angel writes down the good deeds of this person and the other angel notes the bad deeds of this This is an authentic record being prepared in which the deeds of a person's entire life are recorded, and when it will be given to a person on the Day of Judgment in his left hand,, he will be stunned and will say ." And the record [of everyone's deeds] will be laid open; and thou wilt behold the guilty filled with dread at what [they see] therein; and they will exclaim: 'Oh, woe unto us! What a record is this! It leaves out nothing, be it small or great, but takes everything into account!' For they will find all that they ever wrought [now] facing them, and [will know that] thy Sustainer does not wrong anyone. (asad) (Al-Kahf (The Cave) 18:49 ) There are millions of people live in the world, and each person's native language is different. It is no longer known in which language this angelic book of deeds is written. And what kind of paper is it? But the amazing is, that everyone will be able to read it and understand that everything he has done is written in it. And if he will says, "O Allah, I did not do these " then Allah, the Exalted, will seal his tongue and his hands and feet will bear witness that this person has indeed done these things. The word of God is ," This day We seal up their mouths, and their hands speak out to Us and their feet bear witness as to what they used to earn." And it will be said unto him): Read thy Book. Thy soul sufficeth as reckoner against thee this day. ﴿ It is just like a king asking a criminal to tell him how he should be treated. Now it is obvious that the person who is given this record of deeds will not say, "Punish me according to my mistakes," but will understand that I truly deserve the punishment that Allah Almighty will give me. However, the deeds that every person has done, good or bad, cannot be hidden and he will have to give an account of them on the Day of Judgment. Therefore, every person should live his life according to the commands of Allah Almighty and His Messenger (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) so that he will not have any worries on the Day of Judgment and will be saved from Hell and admitted to Paradise. May Allah Almighty grant us the ability to do good deeds, Amen.
  9. By Mohammad Rafidue Etasame Abu Hurairah (May Allah be pleased with him) reported: Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said, "Iman has sixty odd or seventy odd branches. The uppermost of all these is the Testimony of Faith: 'La ilaha illallah' (there is no true god except Allah) while the least of them is the removal of harmful object from the road. And shyness is a branch of Iman." [Al-Bukhari and Muslim]. -وعن أبى هريرة رضي الله عنه، أن رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم قال‏:‏ “الإيمان بضع وسبعون، أو بضع وستون شعبة، فأفضلها قول لا إله إلا الله، وأدناها إماطة الأذى عن الطريق، والحياء شعبة من الإيمان” ‏(‏‏(‏متفق عليه‏)‏‏)‏ ‏.‏ Abu Sa'id al-Khudri said, "The Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, was more modest than a virgin in her tent. When he disliked something, we recognised that in his face." Grade: Sahih (Al-Albani) صـحـيـح (الألباني) Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said, "Iman has sixty odd or seventy odd branches. The uppermost of all these is the Testimony of Faith: 'La ilaha illallah' (there is no true god except Allah) while the least of them is the removal of harmful object from the road. And Shyness is a branch of Iman." Abu Sa'id Al-Khudri (May Allah be pleased with him وعن أبي سعيد الخدري رضي الله عنه، قال‏:‏ ، فإذا رأى شيئياً يكرهه عرفناه في وجهه‏.‏ ‏(‏‏(‏متفق عليه‏)‏‏ ‏ The literal meaning of modesty is dignity, seriousness. It is the opposite of shamelessness, obscenity, and indecency. In Islamic terminology, modesty refers to the shame that a person feels before his own nature and before God when he is inclined to do something wrong. The meaning of modesty is "shame", "chastity," and "purity." It is a state that motivates a person to avoid shamelessness, obscenity, and evil. Modesty is an inner feeling that motivates a person to do good and avoid evil. That is, modesty is the name of that thing that when a person is alone or in front of everyone, he is ashamed of saying something sinful or wrong and because of modesty he fears Allah Almighty and fulfills all His commands according to the Sunnah. It is as if the whole of Islam is the name of modesty. That is, without modesty and without being ashamed of sins, a person's Islam is not complete. Modesty is necessary to fully follow Islamic teachings. As the meaning of a hadith is that if you do not have modesty, then do whatever you want. That is, if you have modesty, then that person will do every kind of work thoughtfully and if he does not have modesty, then whatever he wants, he will be held accountable on the Day of Judgment. We pray to Allah Almighty to grant us the ability to act on these hadiths. End with faith and say, Amen.
  10. Amr ibn Shu'ayb reported from his grandfather that the Prophet, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, said, "Shall I tell you about who is most beloved to me and the one who will be seated closest to me on the Day of Judgment?" The people were silent, so he repeated that two or three times. Then the people said, "Yes, O Messenger of Allah." He said, "The one among you with the best character."(sahih Muslim). This Hadith states that on the Day of Judgment, the person who will be most beloved and closest to the Holy Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) will be the one with the best morals and character. And the second thing is that good morals and character will also weigh heavily in the scales on the Day of Judgment when deeds are weighed. Now the important thing is what is essential in good morals and character? So, it is important to keep our dealings with each other in order, whether it is business matters or any other issue, to take care of each other's rights, and to treat others with a smile and with the utmost happiness. Because it has often been seen often that some Muslims do not deal properly with others. These people offer prayers, keep fasting, perform Hajj and perform other duties, but their business dealings with others are not proper. This includes making false statements in business, breaking promises, hoarding, etc. Similarly, they do not properly fulfill the rights and duties of their children or spouse, including not raising their children properly or not giving them a full share in inheritance, etc. Religion is not complete by performing prayers and fasts alone, but it is also necessary to keep other matters properly and fulfilling rights and duties completely, and along with them, following Islamic teachings. Only in this way can the closeness of the Holy Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) and the right to love him be fulfilled. We pray to Allah Almighty to grant us the ability to act on this noble hadith completely. Amen.
  11. حَدَّثَنَا إِسْمَاعِيلُ بْنُ أَبِي أُوَيْسٍ قَالَ‏:‏ حَدَّثَنِي أَخِي، عَنْ سُلَيْمَانَ بْنِ بِلاَلٍ، عَنْ إِبْرَاهِيمَ بْنِ أَبِي أُسَيْدٍ، عَنْ جَدِّهِ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ، عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صلى الله عليه وسلم قَالَ‏:‏ وَالَّذِي نَفْسِي بِيَدِهِ، لاَ تَدْخُلُوا الْجَنَّةَ حَتَّى تُسْلِمُوا، وَلاَ تُسْلِمُوا حَتَّى تَحَابُّوا، وَأَفْشُوا السَّلاَمَ تَحَابُّوا، وَإِيَّاكُمْ وَالْبُغْضَةَ، فَإِنَّهَا هِيَ الْحَالِقَةُ، لاَ أَقُولُ لَكُمْ‏:‏ تَحْلِقُ الشَّعْرَ، وَلَكِنْ تَحْلِقُ الدِّينَ‏.‏ Abu Hurayra reported that the Prophet, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, said, "By the One in Whose Hand my soul is, you will not enter Paradise until you submit to Islam. And, you will not submit to Islam until you love one another. Extend the greeting to one another and you will love one another. Beware of hatred, for it is the razor. I do not tell you that it shaves the hair, but it shaves away the deen." This Hadith Sharif states that in order to enter Paradise, it is necessary for every Muslim to greet each other, whether he knows him or not, and to love him, that is, to treat him with love, and there should be no hatred, enmity, or malice against each other in their hearts. However, it has been generally observed that people do not greet each other, but they wait for the person in front of them to greet me first, and whenever I come in front of them, they stand up and meet me and greet me. The second thing is that they do not love each other, but if there is any quarrel or argument in their mutual relations, they cut off all contact with them. It has been generally observed that rich people do not help the poor, but even stop talking to them over trivial matters and break off relations. According to the Hadith Sharif, no one will enter Paradise as long as there is arrogance, pride, or anything for others in their hearts. Therefore, it is important that we purify our hearts and Respect Other Muslim brothers, be the first to greet them, love them, and maintain and not break ties with them. We pray to Allah Almighty to grant us the ability to act on this noble hadith, Amen.
  12. O “Son of Adam, I was sick and you did not visit me.” ? O Son of Adam, I asked you for food.., but you gave me none….. By Mohammad Rafique Etesame. وَعَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: " إِن الله عز وَجل يَقُولُ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ: يَا ابْنَ آدَمَ مَرِضْتُ فَلَمْ تَعُدْنِي قَالَ: يَا رَبِّ كَيْفَ أَعُودُكَ وَأَنْتَ رَبُّ الْعَالَمِينَ؟ قَالَ: أَمَّا عَلِمْتَ أَنَّ عَبْدِي فُلَانًا مَرِضَ فَلَمْ تَعُدْهُ؟ أَمَا عَلِمْتَ أَنَّكَ لَوْ عُدْتَهُ لَوَجَدْتَنِي عِنْدَهُ؟ يَا ابْنَ آدَمَ اسْتَطْعَمْتُكَ فَلَمْ تُطْعِمْنِي قَالَ: يَا رَبِّ كَيْفَ أُطْعِمُكَ وَأَنْتَ رَبُّ الْعَالَمِينَ؟ قَالَ: أَمَا عَلِمْتَ أَنَّهُ اسْتَطْعَمَكَ عَبْدِي فُلَانٌ فَلَمْ تُطْعِمْهُ؟ أَمَا عَلِمْتَ أَنَّكَ لَوْ أَطْعَمْتَهُ لَوَجَدْتَ ذَلِكَ عِنْدِي؟ يَا ابْنَ آدَمَ اسْتَسْقَيْتُكَ فَلَمْ تَسْقِنِي قَالَ: يَا رَبِّ كَيْفَ أَسْقِيكَ وَأَنْتَ رَبُّ الْعَالَمِينَ؟ قَالَ: اسْتَسْقَاكَ عَبْدِي فُلَانٌ فَلَمْ تَسْقِهِ أما إِنَّك لَو سقيته لوجدت ذَلِك عِنْدِي ". رَوَاهُ مُسلم On the day of resurrection God most high will say, “Son of Adam, I was sick and you did not visit me.” He will reply, “My Lord, how could I visit Thee when Thou art the Lord of the universe?” He will say, “Did you not know that my servant so and so was ill and yet you did not visit him? Did you not know that if you had visited him you would have found me with him? Son of Adam, I asked you for food but you gave me none.” He will reply, “My Lord, how could I feed Thee when Thou art the Lord of the universe?” He will say, “Did you not know that my servant so and so asked you for food and yet you gave him none? Did you not know that if you had fed him you would have found that with me? Son of Adam, I asked you for drink but you gave me none.” He will reply “My Lord, how could I give Thee drink when Thou art the Lord of the universe?” He will say, “My servant so and so asked you for drink but you gave him none. Did you not know that if you had given him something to drink you would have found that with me?’’ Muslim transmitted it. In this Hadith, Allah Almighty has explained in human language the importance of visiting the sick, feeding the hungry, and giving water to the thirsty, which ordinary people do not give any importance to and consider as trivial tasks, such as, "I was sick," "I was hungry, and you did not feed me," "I was thirsty," etc., so that people understand the importance of this work and organize it, that, , if you had visited him you would have found me with him? Son of Adam, I asked you for food but you gave me none.” He will reply, "My Lord, how could I feed Thee when You are the Lord of the universe?" He will say, "Did you not know that my servant so and so asked you for food and yet you gave him none?" Did you not know that if you had fed him you would have found that with me? Son of Adam, I asked you for drink but you gave me none.” He will reply "My Lord, how could I give You drink when You are the Lord of the universe?" He will say, “My servant so and so asked you for drink but you gave him none. Did you not know that if you had given him something to drink you would have found that with me? We pray to Allah Almighty to grant us the ability to act upon this hadith. Ameen
  13. The holy Quran reveals," Lo! those who say: Our Lord is Allah, and afterward are upright, the angels descend upon them, saying: Fear not nor grieve, but hear good tidings of the paradise which ye are promised. ﴿ We are your protecting friends in the life of the world and in the Hereafter. There ye will have (all) that your souls desire, and there ye will have (all) for which ye pray. ﴿ A gift of welcome from One Forgiving, Merciful. (41:31) The descent of angels to the believers means that they confessed with their hearts and remained steadfast in it, did not associate anyone with the Lordship and Divinity of Allah, did not deviate from the certainty and confession to the point of miracles, and remained united in belief and action in accordance with what they had said with their tongues, and recognized the complete Lordship of Allah as the truth. When such people are near death and in the grave and then rise from their graves, the angels of Allah descend upon them, who comfort and console them and give them the good news of Paradise. They say, "Now you have no reason to fear or panic. All the worries and sorrows of this mortal world have ended, and there is no longer any fear of any impending calamity. Now all kinds of physical and spiritual happiness and luxury are for you forever. The promises of Paradise that were made through the mouths of the prophets are now to be fulfilled by all of you. This is the wealth that, once it is certain of its receipt, no worry or sorrow will stray from a person." We pray to Allah Almighty to grant us the strength to remain steadfast and to follow all His commands in accordance with the good example of the Holy Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) so that we too may receive the good news from the angels that we are your friends,Amin.
  14. حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو مُعَاوِيَةَ، وَوَكِيعٌ، عَنِ الأَعْمَشِ، عَنْ أَبِي صَالِحٍ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ، قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ـ صلى الله عليه وسلم ـ ‏ "‏ كُلُّ عَمَلِ ابْنِ آدَمَ يُضَاعَفُ الْحَسَنَةُ بِعَشْرِ أَمْثَالِهَا إِلَى سَبْعِمِائَةِ ضِعْفٍ إِلَى مَا شَاءَ اللَّهُ. يَقُولُ اللَّهُ: إِلاَّ الصَّوْمَ فَإِنَّهُ لِي وَأَنَا أَجْزِي بِهِ. يَدَعُ شَهْوَتَهُ وَطَعَامَهُ مِنْ أَجْلِي. لِلصَّائِمِ فَرْحَتَانِ: فَرْحَةٌ عِنْدَ فِطْرِهِ وَفَرْحَةٌ عِنْدَ لِقَاءِ رَبِّهِ. وَلَخُلُوفُ فَمِ الصَّائِمِ أَطْيَبُ عِنْدَ اللَّهِ مِنْ رِيحِ الْمِسْكِ ‏"‏ Month of Ramadan is a very blessed and great month, Allah Almighty Grants His unlimited mercy to the faithful believers. There are many joys for the believers but two are very noteworthy. Abu Hurairah (R.A.) narrated from the messenger of Allah he said: "There are two joys for the fasting person: the joy when he breaks his fast, and the joy when he will meet his Lord" (Jami` at-Tirmidhi 766). As detail firs is that, when the believer has observed fast and now it is evening and various types of food and drinking are placed before him. And when time is over then the believer breaks his fast, and he feels a great pleasure when he eats and drinks. And second is that when he will meet to Allah Almighty at the day of Resurrection and will see to Him as he sees to a full moon, and then he will become a great lighthearted and happy and these are proved by the holy Qur’an and sayings of the holy Prophet PBUH. As regard the holy Qur’an, so it makes mention,” On the day when it befalls in earnest, and they are ordered to prostrate themselves but are not able”, (Surah al-Qalam: 42). It means that Allah Almighty will show off His special manifestation at the Day of Resurrection and the people will be called to fall prostrate before Him, but the infidels, polytheists and the hypocrites will not be able to prostrate and their backs will become hard like iron. And according to the hadith, the holy Prophet PBUH said,” Do you crowd one another in order to see the moon on the night of a full moon? Do you crowd one another in order to see the sun?" They said: "No." He said: "So verily, you shall see your Lord as you see the moon on the night of a full moon, you shall not crowd one another to see Him."(Al-Mishkat) So, due to His unlimited mercy the faithful believers will see to their Lord at the Day of Resurrection and feel great pleasure.

  15. Ramazan-ul-Mubarak is a most sacred and holy month of the Muslim calendar. It brings good fortune and endless blessings of Allah Almighty. It is a month of forbearance that’s rewards is only Heaven. (Bokhari) Act of fasting was prescribed in all the Shriah of the Holy Prophets (May peace and Mercy of Allah be upon them) and its main purpose is to make Muslims pious and God-fearing as mentioned in the Holy Qura,n “O ye who believe! Fasting is prescribed for you, even as it was prescribed for those before you, that ye may ward off (evil),(The Cow: 183). The Holy Prophet (PBUH) said that the first ten days of Ramazan-nul-Mubarak are for the bounty of Allah , second ten days are for the forgiveness, and the last ten days declare the salvation from Hell to those who keep fasting. (Bokhari, Mishkat-ul-Masabeeh ) He (PBUH) said the former sins of the believers are forgiven who keeps fasting with faith and a sense of accountability. And when the first night of Ramazan falls, an announcement made on behalf of Allah that He Loves him who loves He and He meets him who try to meet He, and Allah will forgive him who seeks forgiveness. Then Allah Orders the twin recording angels to write only virtues and not to write evils and to rub off their former sins .(Zubda-tul-Waizeen) A distinctive feature of Ramazan is that the Holy Quran was revealed in this month from the “Lauh-e-Mahfooz” to the first sky. Whence, it was revealed on the Holy Prophet (PBUH) in the period of 23 years according to the need of the time. Allah Almighty Orddains,” The month of Ramazan in which was revealed the Qur’an, a guidance for mankind, and clear proofs of the guidance and the criterion (of right and wrong). And whosoever of you is present, let him fast the month, and whosoever of you is sick or on a journey, (let him fast the same) number of other days. (The Cow:185) Qur’an is an authentic source of Islamic dogmas, worships, affairs and lays the foundation stone of Islamic legislation. It reveals an abridged outline for individual and social life and guides to all aspects of life in principle. Recitation of the Holy Qur’an gives the mental and spiritual peace and tranquility. The Holy Prophet (PBUH) said that when the month of Ramazan falls all of the evil design, Satans and Jinns tightened in the chains and doors of Hell closed, and a voice from the Heaven calls “O ye who committing evils stop yourself !and O the well wisher! Increase yourself in virtues. And a large number of the people deserving for Hell, are Freed every night. (Tirmadhi, Nasai, Ibn-e-Maja) Ramzan-ul-Mubark is going on. So We should count for such a blessed month and keep fasting.
