If a prostitute was forgiven, so will you if you do this

Image
Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) said, "A prostitute was forgiven by Allah, because, passing by a panting dog near a well and seeing that the dog was about to die of thirst, she took off her shoe, and tying it with her head-cover she drew out some water for it. So, Allah forgave her because of that." (Bukhari) MashaAllah! How incredible! Rhetorically, all Muslims believe that prostitution (zina) is unlawful (haram ) for anyone, it is even among the greatest sins in Islam. But, Allah al Rahman al Gafoor forgave a prostitute because of her act of giving some water to a thirsty dog. An act that seems trivial to us turns out to be the cause of a great sin to be forgiven. How could that be? This is because Allah is ar Rahman, the Most Compassionate, al Raheem the Most Merciful, and al Gafoor the Oft-Forgiving. If a prostitute can be forgiven owing to her mercy to a dog, won't we be more blessed and gain a lot more reward if we show our compassion and mercy to man especially ...

Even The Companions are jealous of this kind of person

Image
Nearly 100 years ago, a philosopher and mathematician Bertrand Russell, warned of the social dangers of widespread envy. What is envy? In short, Envy is the desire to have what others have. It could be harmful whenever it leads us to hurt others. And for centuries, society understands that this envy or jealousy isn't a good thing. But do you know that Islam permits a certain kind of Envy? Long before recent studies distinguish envy into benign and malicious, Ibn Mas'ud (may Allah be pleased with him) reported: The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "Envy is permitted only in two cases: A man whom Allah gives wealth, and he disposes of it rightfully, and a man to whom Allah gives a knowledge which he applies and teaches it." [Al-Bukhari and Muslim] This hadith talks about ghibtah or benign envy that's allowed in Islam. It's when someone desires to have blessings that others have without wishing that blessings be taken from theirs. And from the Hadith, we can ...

Competing with superhero of Islam

Image
Your deeds in these days can compete with the best deed in Islam With what strife and pains we come into the world we know not, but ’tis commonly no easy matter to get out of it. -paul kalanithi, when breath becomes air Very well stated about how much we value our lives no matter how hard the struggle we have in it. We love this world and every kind of pleasure that it contains. On the other hand, losing someone we love is already painful, but losing our life and leaving people and things we love, that is greater in pain. Therefore, as we highly value our and other's lives, Islam has also given our souls or lives a better price. That's why Jihad or fighting in the cause of Allah becomes the most virtuous deed in islam. Allah says in the Quran that has meaning, "O you who have believed, shall I guide you to a transaction that will save you from a painful punishment? [It is that] you believe in Allah and His Messenger and strive in the cause of Allah with your weal...

Be Rabbanee not Ramadhanee

Image
Remember last ramadan we filled our days fully with so many good deeds. We fasted, we gave charity, we prayed a lot even when the others were sleeping, we read the Quran, and etc. But we don't know whether it could save us from the hellfire, or the opposite. Because we can't guarantee that we were sincere when doing those deeds. So one can't tell which one of his deeds was accepted by Allah. That should make us worry and that is the situation of the most of our predecessors and scholars. They're worried as well about their good deeds while their deeds were greater in number and greater in supremacy and comprehension or even in sincerity. Fudhalah ibn 'ubaid, the companion of rasoolullah said : "If i know that Allah has accepted only one deed of mine even though it's only as small as grain, it's better for me that the world and all that it contains" So we are supposed to wonder what is the indicator when our deeds are accepted. Ibn...

Charity is a Proof

Image
Everybody on earth loves money. Well at least we are sure that everyone is happy in payday. Majority of people receive their salaries with smile. But we sometimes find people who could share or give some of their wealth to others in charity. How could it be? . Imam ibn Uthaymeen in Sharh Boolughul Maram said : One cannot lose(leave) something he loves except for another thing he loves more. . As a Muslim, we testify that we love Allah. And most of people know that Allah loves charity and people who love doing it. And besides, He is the Most Rich. He is the one who has the ultimate ownership of all wealth in this world. So how could someone who testified that he loves Allah reject to give some of their wealth for charity in the cause of Him? That's why in Islam we called charity with the term of Sadaqah. . Sadaqah comes from the word sidq (sincerity), i.e. it is a sign of sincerity of faith on the part of the person who gives it. (See Fath al-Qadeer, 2/399) Therefore, Let...

It does not decrease your wealth

We make a living by what we get, but we make a life by what we give. Indeed, according to a study in 2010 , Harvard Business School survey of happiness in 136 countries found that people who are altruistic—in this case, people who were generous financially, such as with charitable donations—were happiest overall. And in fact, we had never found someone became stressed or even frustrated and poor because of doing charity. (happify.com) Even The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, ❝Charity does not in any way decrease the wealth and the servant who forgives Allah adds to his respect, and the one who shows humility Allah elevates him in the estimation (of the people).❞ [Sahih Muslim]

Value of a piece of date

Image
What is the value of a piece of date to you? For some people, a piece of date might only means 66.5 calories to fulfil their daily calorie need. But in Islam a piece of date is valued much more than that! How could it be? . The Messenger (ﷺ) said with regards to the charity that is given generally: .  فَاتَّقُوا النَّارَ وَلَوْ بِشِقِّ تَمْرَةٍ (‏رواه مسلم) . “And save yourselves from the hell fire even if it be with the piece of a date.” (Muslim) Meaning: giving it as a charity. it is a small charity but if it is given correctly with a good intention and a sincere heart for the sake of Allāh (سبحانه و تعالى), it could save the one who gives it from the hell-fire. . Indeed the giving of charity from ones pure wealth and from ones halāl earnings in the cause of Allāh (سبحانه و تعالى), is from the most excellent and the most virtuous of all the acts of worship. For indeed, just as there is ibādah of the limbs when you stand in prayer, or you help your mother with the ...

Winning begins with giving

Image
Giving has always brought out the best in people. No one in the history has become a poor after helping or supporting the society. James Bender, in his book How to Talk Well(New York: McGraw-Hill Book Company, Inc., 1994) relates the story of a farmer who grew award-winning corn. Each year he entered his corn in the state fair where it won a blue ribbon. One year a newspaper reporter interviewed him and learned something interesting about how he grew it. The reporter discovered that the farmer shared his seed corn with his neighbors. "How can you afford to share your best seed corn with your neighbors when they are entering corn in competition with yours each year?" the reporter asked. "Why sir," said the farmer, "didn't you know? The wind picks up pollen from the ripening corn and swirls it from field to field. If my neighbors grow inferior corn, cross-pollination will steadily degrade the quality of my corn. If I am to grow good corn, I mu...

Rewards are multiplied in these 10 days of Dhul-Hijjah

Image
Welcome to the month of Dhul-Hijjah 1439H Praise be to Allah Who has created Time and has made some times like months or days and nights better than others, when rewards are multiplied many times, as a mercy towards His slaves. Imagine, you find a SALE with crazy price of your favorite stuff in a store, and you know that it rarely happens. But you also know that it lasts only for an hour while the store limits the number of the stuff you've been looking for. What are you gonna do? It's very little chance that you're gonna ignore that sale, isn't it? So what are we gonna do knowing that we are entering the month of Dhul-Hijjah, one of four sacred months in islam in which Rewards are multiplied for people who collect good deeds at the moment? Absolutely as a Muslim we would make sure that we don't miss any of these important occasion, because time is passing quickly. And among the special seasons of worship are the first ten days of Dhul-Hijjah, whic...

Pursuit of happiness

Today, like yesterday, we are happy when our needs and desires are fulfilled. So the pursuit of happiness has become connected to what might be termed as “selfish” behavior. The more we have the more content we are, the more we take the happier we will be. But is that so? As a Muslim we know the fact that our Prophet, Muhammad (peace be upon him) was the happiest man that had ever lived on earth. We know it for sure from the history of his noble life that is written in the Qur'an, or in the Hadeeth, or in books of tareekh written by the Islamic scholars. How did our Prophet live his life? Rasulullah ﷺ was known for his generosity even before Prophethood. When he received his first revelation, he rushed home shaken by the experience. Khadijah radiyallahu ‘anha, may Allah be pleased with her, reminded and relieved him by testifying, “Allah would never humiliate you, for you are good to your relatives, you are true to your word, you help those wh...
