Al-Hujarat O ye who believe! let not some men among you laugh at others: it may be that the (latter) are better than the (former): nor let some women laugh at others: it may be that the (latter) are better than the (former): nor defame nor be sarcastic to each other, nor call each other by (offensive) nicknames: ill-seeming is a name connoting wickedness, (to be used of one) after he has believed: and those who do not desist are (indeed) doing wrong. Hadith On the authority of Mu`adh (may Allah be pleased with him) who reported that the Messenger of Allah (may the peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) took hold of his hand and said: O Mu`adh! By God, I love you, and I advise you: You should never abandon reciting after every prayer: Allah, assist me in remembering You and being grateful to You and performing Your worship in an excellent manner. (Reported by Abu Dawud) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Lessons Deduced: - The hadith shows the merit of the Companion Mu`adh bin Jabal and the Prophet's love for him. - Saying remembrances of Allah entails praising Him, and praising Allah indicates true worship. - It is recommended to say this invocation following after performing prayer. Dua From the supplication of Prophet Ibrahim (peace be upon him) O my Lord! bestow wisdom on me, and join me with the righteous; O my Lord! bestow wisdom on me, and join me with the righteous; grant me honourable mention on the tongue of truth among the latest (generations); make me one of the inheritors of the Garden of Bliss” (26:83-85)

An-Nahl What is with you must vanish: what is with Allah will endure. And We will certainly bestow, on those who patiently persevere, their reward according to the best of their actions. Hadith On the authority of Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him) who reported that he heard the Messenger of Allah (may the peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) saying: A man follows his friend's religion, so each one should consider whom he makes his friend. (Reported by Abu Dawud) Lessons Deduced: - A Muslim should choose a pious believer as a friend and avoid befriending impious people. Dua “Our Lord! Perfect our Light for us, and grant us Forgiveness: for Thou has power over all things." (66:8) Say: He is Allah,  the One and Only, Allah the Eternal, Absolute. He does not beget, nor is He begotten. And there is none like Him.  (Ikhlas 112:1-4)

Verse (Lit is such a light) in houses, which Allah hath permitted to be raised to honour; for the celebration, in them, of His name: in them is He glorified in the mornings & in the evenings, (again and again), By men whom neither traffic nor merchandise can divert from the Remembrance of Allah, nor from regular Prayer, nor from the practice of regular Charity: their (only) fear is for the Day when hearts & eyes will be transformed (in a world wholly new), (Quran Translation: 24:36-37) Hadith: Abu Hurairah (Allah be pleased with him) reported that Allah's Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) had said: That who recites in the morning & in the evening these expressions: "Hallowed be Allah & All praise is due to Him" one hundred times, will not be surpassed on the Day of Resurrection by anyone with more excellent deeds than one who says the same or added to these words. (Reported by Muslim) -------- Lessons Deduced: - It is desirable to frequently say remembrances of Allah. - They can be said at any time. Yet it is especially recommended to say remembrances in the morning & the evening so that the day starts & ends with an act of worship. This will be an atonement for the minor sins one may commit during the day or night. Dua'a: "O my Lord! grant me that I may be grateful for Thy favour which Thou hast bestowed upon me, & upon both my parents, & that I may work righteousness such as Thou mayest approve; & be gracious to me in my issue. Truly have I turned to Thee & truly do I bow (to Thee) in Islam." (Qur'an Translation 46:15)

Al-Hujarat O ye who believe! avoid suspicion as much (as possible): for suspicion in some cases is a sin: and spy not on each other, nor speak ill of each other behind their backs. Would any of you like to eat the flesh of his dead brother? Nay, ye would abhor it. But fear Allah: for Allah is Oft-Returning, Most-Merciful. Hadith Abu Bakrah (Allah be pleased with him) narrated that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) had said: When two Muslims combat each other with the sword, the killed and the killer both are doomed to Hell. I said: Messenger of Allah! As to the one who kills it is understandable, but what about the killed? He (the Holy Prophet) replied: The other longed to murder his opponent. (Agreed upon) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Lessons Deduced: - This warns Muslims against fighting each others because this incurs Allah's wrath. - The warning in this hadith is given to the killer and the killed if they have been fighting with no legal excuse.

Al-Baqarah The Messenger believeth in what hath been revealed to him from his Lord, as do the men of faith. Each one (of them) believeth in Allah, His angels, His Books, and His Messengers. "We make no distinction (they say) between one and another of His Messengers." And they say: "We hear, and we obey, (we seek) Thy forgiveness, our Lord, and to Thee is the end of all journeys." Hadith Mu`adh bin Anas (Allah be pleased with him) narrated that the Holy Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) had said: The one who suppresses anger in spite of possessing the power to give effect to his anger, will be called out by Allah, the Exalted to the forefront of the creatures on the Resurrection Day and will be put to option about any pure-eyed virgin, he will like. (Reported by Al-Tirmidhi) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Lessons Deduced: - One should restrain his anger. - Forgiving others while having the ability to retaliate entails a great reward. - Strength and resolution appear when one maintains self-restraint in provocative and annoying situations. Dua From the supplication of Prophet Zakariya (peace be upon him) "O my Lord! leave me not without offspring, though Thou art the best of inheritors." (21:89)

Al-I-'Imran Muhammad [saw] is no more than a Messenger: many were the Messengers that passed away before him. If he died or were slain, will ye then turn back on your heels? If any did turn back on his heels, not the least harm will he do to Allah; but Allah (on the other hand) will swiftly reward those who (serve him) with gratitude. Hadith Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him) reported that the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) said: When Allah loves a servant, He calls Gabriel and says: Verily, I love so and so; you should also love him, and Gabriel loves him. Then he makes an announcement in the heaven, (the angels) also begin to love him and then honor is conferred upon him in the earth. (Reported by Al-Bukhari and Muslim) Lessons Deduced: - A Muslim should do his best in performing good deeds and avoiding sins so that Allah may love him. Dua "Our Lord! bestow on us mercy from Thyself, and dispose of our affair for us in the right way!" (18:10) The Events of the Month of Rajab Migration to Abyssinia When the polytheists intensified their torture of the Companions of the Prophet (peace be upon him), the Prophet thought of a way out of the Muslims’ dilemma; he commanded them to migrate to Abyssinia (present Ethiopia) which was ruled by a just king. Thus, the Muslims made their way to Abyssinia, to protect their lives and their religion. This was the first migration made in Islam. The migrants were fourteen in number; ten men and four women, among whom was `Utham bin `Affan and his wife Ruqaiyah, the Prophet’s daughter. Later on, another group of Muslims, composed of about eighty men and women, migrated to Abyssinia and stayed for a long time there under the protection of Al-Najashi (Negus) king of Abyssinia, who welcomed their arrival.

Al-I-'Imran And there are, certainly, among the People of the Book, those who believe in Allah, in the revelation to you, and in the revelation to them, bowing in humility to Allah: they will not sell the Signs of Allah for a miserable gain! for them is a reward with their Lord, and Allah is swift in account. Hadith On the authority of Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him) who reported that the Messenger of Allah (may peace be upon him) had said: "For those people who assemble in one of Allah's Houses (mosques) reciting the Book of Allah and teaching it to each others, there will descend upon them the tranquillity and mercy will cover them and the angels will flock around them and Allah mentions them in the presence of those near Him." (Reported by Muslim) Lessons deduced: 1. The Hadith emphasizes the merit of mosques. 2. The Hadith pinpoints the excellence of assembling in mosques for reciting the Qur'an. 3. Muslim should seek the blessing of Allah in good places and times.   ____________________________________________________________ Dua "O my Lord! enable me to disembark with Thy blessing: for Thou art the Best to enable (us) to disembark." (23:29) Surah Al-Muminun Transliteration: Rabbi an zil nii mun za lam mubarakataw wa anta khai-rul mun ziliin ____________________________________________________________ The Events of the Month of Rajab The Events of Isra’ (Night Journey) and Mi`raj (Ascension) On the authority of Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him) who reported that the Messenger of Allah (may peace be upon him) had said: "For those people who assemble in one of Allah's Houses (mosques) reciting the Book of Allah and teaching it to each others, there will descend upon them the tranquillity and mercy will cover them and the angels will flock around them and Allah mentions them in the presence of those near Him." (Reported by Muslim) Lessons deduced: 1. The Hadith emphasizes the merit of mosques. 2. The Hadith pinpoints the excellence of assembling in mosques for reciting the Qur'an. 3.

(23:29) Surah Al-Muminun Transliteration: Rabbi an zil nii mun za lam mubarakataw wa anta khai-rul mun ziliin ____________________________________________________________ The Events of the Month of Rajab The Events of Isra’ (Night Journey) and Mi`raj (Ascension) One day, Gabriel brought Al-Buraq to the Prophet (peace be upon him). Al-Buraq was like a mount which is smaller in size than a mule and bigger than an ass. Gabriel accompanied the Prophet in a journey to Bait Al-Maqdis (Jerusalem) in Palestine. Reaching there, the Prophet (peace be upon him) found a great gathering of Prophets and Messengers who were anticipating him, such as Prophets Ibrahim (Abraham), Musa (Moses), and `Isa (Jesus) (may Allah be pleased with them). The Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) led the gathering in a two-rak`ah prayer. Then, the Mi`raj, or ascension to the heavens began. In his way through the heavens the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) met a number of prophets and talked to them. He then saw Paradise and its comforts, which Allah prepared for his righteous servants. He also saw the Hell and its torture which, Allah prepared for the disbelievers. He was then elevated to a discourse with his Lord, reaching a stance which had never be attained by a prophet or a favorite angel before. When the journey was over, the Prophet (peace be upon him) returned to Mecca at the same night the journey started, filled with extra spiritual power. This event served as a reassurance to the Prophet and a soothing to the anguish he suffered because of the harm directed to him by the Quraish, as well as the death of both his wife Khadijah and his uncle Abu Talib in the same year, which was called the Year of Sorrow. ___________________________________________________________

[slm] Twenty Ahaadith on the recitation and teaching of the Noble Qur'aan Virtues of the Noble Qur'aan This is a compilation of forty Ahaadith on the recitation and teaching of the Noble Qur'aan. The original was written in Arabic by Allaamah Mullah Ali Sultaan Muhammed Al-Qaari(Rahmatullahi alaiyh). The Urdu Translation, references and commentary were written by Moulana Dr. Muhammad Habibullaah Mukhtaar.(Rector of Jaamia Islaamiah, Karachi Newtown) . Translated into English by Mufti A.H.Elias. 1. The Best Person. Hadhrat Uthmaan bin Afaan (Radhiallahu anhu) narrates that the Merciful Nabi (Sallallahu alayhi wasallam) said: "The best person from you is that person who learns the Noble Qur'aan and teaches it to others." (Narrated by Ahmed and companions in six reliable books.). It has been recorded in Ibne Maja by Hadhrat Saad(Radhiallahu anhu) the words "from amongst you, the most superior person" have been narrated. and in Ibne Abo Dawood the words "from amongst you the best person is he who recites the Noble Qur'aan and makes others to recite..." have been narrated by Hadhrat Ibne Masood (Radhiallahu anhu). Commentary: The Noble Qur'aan is the speech of Allaah Ta'aala. Since it is obvious that Allaah Ta'aala is the Greatest, so is His Speech. Whosoever will learn it, read it or teach it will be the highest and most superior. This does not mean that a Haafiz or Qaari is superior to an Aalim or a Faqeeh (Juro -consultant). It refers to that Qaari or Haafiz who recites the Noble Qur'aan with Qiraat and who has the knowledge of the Ahaadith of Nabi (Sallallahu alayhi wasallam), and is aware of the commandments of the Deen. In the earlier ages a Qaari was an Aalim and a Faqeeh as well. 2. Reward for every letter. It is reported from Hadhrat Abdullaah bin Mas'ood (Radhiallahu anhu) that Rasulullaah (Sallallahu alayhi wasallam) stated that "Whosoever read one letter from the Kitaab of Allaah (Qur'aan), will be granted one raward for it and one is equal to ten. I do not say that Aleeef, Laam, Meem is one letter but Aleef is one letter, Laam is one letter and Meem is one letter. " ( Narrated by Tirmidhi - Hasan Sahih ). Commentary: Subhaanallaah! What a great blessing that just by reciting three letters in a few moments, one earns thirty rewards and this is the lowest of stages where one earns ten rewards for one good. Furthermore, Allaah Ta'aala increases His bounties as much as He desires according to the sincerity and devotion of His servants. The Haafiz gains reward upon reward for the Aakhirat by endeavouring to make it a habit to recite the Qur'aan regularly so that the whole Qur'aan is recited at least once per month. 3. The Kitaab that Elevates and Humbles. Hadhrat Umar bin Khattaab (Radhiallahu anhu) reports that Nabi (Sallallahu alayhi wasallam) said that Allaah, the Lofty One, by means of this Kitaab, elevates many and lowers many. (Narrated by Muslim and Ibne Maja). Commentary: In every age, the Ulema, Fuqahaa, and the knowledge bearers of the Noble Qur'aan have been granted dignity and honour. Allaah grants honour to those who recite the Noble Qur'aan, act upon it's commandments and make it their guide. Allaah says:- Allaah Ta'aala increases the status of those amongst you who have brought Imaan and (to those ) who have been given Ilm. One should also realise that to recite the Qur'aan and then to be misled or to recite the Qur'aan and not to act upon it is the cause of destruction and ruin. It is extremely unfortunate to abstain from reading and gaining celestial light from such a light as the Qur'aan. A person who earns humiliation in this world through his neglect of the Qur'aan, can imagine how much more deprived he will be in the Aakhiraat. 4. Those busy with the Qur'aan and those who supplicate. Hadhrat Abu Sa'eed Khudri (Radhiallahu anhu) states that Rasulullaah (Sallallahu alayhi wasallam) stated that Allaah, the Lofty, said: That person who the Noble Qur'aan prevented (because of his preoccupation with it) from making my Zhikr and from making Duaa, I will grant him better than those who beseech me and the Kalaam (speech) of Allaah is superior to all other speeches just as Allaah has superiority over all the creation. Commentary: That person who was unable to make Zhikr of Allaah Ta'aala or to beseech Allaah Ta'aala for his needs because he was engaged in the recitation of the Qur'aan or in explaining it's commandments or in comprehending the details of it's message and meaning, then Allaah Ta'aala fulfils his needs without him even asking for such fulfilment, for Allaah is the Knower of the Unseen and He knows what is in each person's heart and what each person's needs are. Allaah, the Rabb of the Qur'aan, will definitely fulfil the needs of one who has become Allaah's and who has given up his time and has devoted himself for the sake of Allaah's Kalaam. 5. The example of one who recites the Qur'aan. Hadhrat Abu Musa Ash'ari (Radhiallahu anhu) stated that Rasulullaah (Sallallahu alayhi wasallam) said :" That Momin who recites the Noble Qur'aan is like grapefruit, the fragrance of which is good and the taste of which is excellent. That Momin who does not recite the Noble Qur'aan is like dates which does not have a fragrance but which has a sweet taste. That Munaafiq who recites the Qur'aan is like a flower which has a good fragrance but which tastes bitter. That Munaafiq who does not recite the Qur'aan is like the aloe, which does not have a fragrance and has a bitter taste. In one narration, the word Faajir (transgressor) is used instead of Munaafiq. (Narrated by Ahmed, Bukhaari, Muslim, Abu Dawood, Tirmidhi, Nisai and Ibn Maja.) Commentary: That Momin who recites the Qur'aan, acts upon it's commandments, and teaches it to others is like grapefruit. Externally it is pleasant and internally as well. Such a Muslim becomes a source of good and directs towards good actions. Those in the company of such a Muslim benefit from his teachings and through his example. His speech, public life as well as his seclusion are a source of goodness to all those around him. That Momin who does not recite the Noble Qur'aan, does not attract the people towards any good and thus the comparison to something without a fragrance, but because he has Imaan, he carries the potential and the inner essence to change and do good. This is why the comparison to the sweet taste. That Munaafiq who recites the Noble Qur'aan may attract people towards him but because of the fickleness of his intention, his recitation will not bring about much good. That Munaafiq who does not recite the Qur'aan has neither the ability to bring anyone towards good nor has any good within himself and thus he has no good whatsoever and is therefore most harmful. 6. Good and pious companionship. Hadhrat Anas (Radhiallahu anhu) stated that Rasulullaah (Sallallahu alayhi wasallam) said : "The Momin who recites the Noble Qur'aan is like the grapefruit which has a nice fragrance and good taste, and the similitude of a Momin who does not recite the Noble Qur'aan is like the date which does not have any fragrance and it's taste is good, and the Faajir (transgressor) who recites the Noble Qur'aan is like a flower which has a good fragrance and tastes bitter, and that Faajir who does not recite the Qur'aan is like the aloe, which has no fragrance and a bitter taste, and the similitude of a pious , righteous companion is like one (selling) musk - in that even if you do not receive any portion of it, you will still be able to smell it's fragrance , and the similitude of a bad companion is like a blacksmith - even if the soot does not touch you, the smoke will reach you. (Narrated by Abu Dawood.) Commentary: An excellent similitude has been illustrated concerning good and bad company. It proves the effect that people have upon you even if you do not indulge completely in their habits. A good person does not have to spell it out to you but you will learn some good from him. The desire to do good increases and one feels content in doing good. Similarly, evil and bad companions will taint you even though you do not actually touch them. The darkness of their ways can blemish you just by being in their company. By being in the company of an evil person, the bad that he indulges in seems good for a few dangerous moments and this can lead to untold misery and hardship which can take a lifetime to undo. 7. Those who recite Qur'aan proficiently and those who read with difficulty. Hadhrat Ayesha (Radhiallahu anha) stated that Rasulullaah (Sallallahu alayhi wasallam) said that the one who recites the Qur'aan Kareem proficiently will be with Kiraamin Kaatibeen, and that person who reads the Qur'aan with difficulty - stopping and stammering - but is enthusiastic and keen to recite, will get double the reward. In one narration, it is stated that the one who recites the Qur'aan with difficulty will get double the reward. (Narrated by Bukhaari, Muslim, Abu Dawood, Tirmidhi, Nisai and Ibne Maja.) Commentary: Those who recite the Qur'aan with fluency and without any difficulty, will be with those angels which have proximity to Allaah in the Aakhiraat. They will be His companions. Just as these angels were obedient and conformed to the laws and were appointed to read and write and just as they did not add or subtract, they will also be classified as Haafiz and Qaaris. They read and teach. But those who stammer and read, and who withstands the difficulty in reading and reads constantly although he experiences difficulty in gaining fluency, he will gain one reward for reading and the other for withstanding the difficulty experienced in reading. This does not imply that the one who reads with fluency is inferior in any way. It just emphasises that despite not reading as fluently as the one who reads easily, he will get the same reward for the difficulty experienced in trying to read correctly. 8. The root of all affairs. Hadhrat Abu Dharr (Radhiallahu anhu) said "I asked Rasulullaah(Sallallahu alayhi wasallam), Oh Rasulullaah, Advise me." Rasulullaah (Sallallahu alayhi wasallam) said "Choose Taqwa (piety), for piety is the root of all affairs." I said "Oh Rasulullaah, advise me more." Rasulullaah(Sallallahu alayhi wasallam) said," Make the recitation of the Noble Qur'aan compulsory, for it will be Noor(Celestial light) for you in this world and will become a Noor in the sky as well. (Narrated by Ibne Habbaan and classified reliable in a lengthy hadith and related by Ibne Zarees and Abu Yala from Abi Saeed.) In the narration of Hadhrat Abu Saeed, it is narrated as "choose the fear and Taqwa of Allaah, for it is the root of everything, and make compulsory the Dhikr of Allaah and the recitation of the Qur'aan, for it is a means to become for you a Noor on earth and a good remembrance in the skies, and control your tongue except for the speaking of good by which you will overpower Shaitaan Commentary: In this Hadith, one is ordered to choose Taqwa for it is the root of all affairs and the basis of everything good. Due to the fear , awe and trust in Allaah, one automatically refrains from all evil and detested things, and becomes closer to Allaah instead. The recitation of the Qur'aan Kareem illuminates man's heart and enlightens his brain. When the heart is filled with Noor, then doing good and obeying Allaah's commands becomes easy and enjoyable. The brain is directed towards understanding things in reality and not as Shaitaan would like it to be. A person who reaches this state by following the simple to understand advice of Nabi(S.A.W) is not only loved by the people but by the Almighty Himself. Due to the errors of the tongue many tribulations occur on earth. Not only does such a person destroy his peace in this world, but his Aakhiraat is also spoilt. This leads one directly to Jahannam, the torments of which begin in this very world. If one controls the tongue, then one controls Shaitaan. Otherwise it can sting like a serpent. Due to the evils committed with the tongue, many great horsemen and brave men have been annihilated and ruined. In order to save the tongue from falling into various traps, man must at all times keep it engaged in the Zhikr of Allaah. This brings tranquillity to all the other parts of the body. Besides the various good it brings one in this world, so much reward is gained for the Aakhiraat , where nothing but good deeds will be needed to earn Allaah's Mercy and Pleasure. 9. That which leads to Jannat. Hadhrat Jaabir (Radhiallahu anhu) narrated from Nabi (Sallallahu alayhi wasallam) that the Qur'aan Kareem is such an intercessor whose intercession is accepted and such a defender whose word is ceded to. Whosoever makes it one's Imaam (leader, keeps it ahead and gives it priority), it will take him to Jannat, and whosoever puts it over his back, (keeps it behind and neglects it) it will drag him into Jahannam.(Narrated by Ibne Habbaan in his Sahih and Baihaiqi in Shuba and Ibne Mas'ood). Commentary: Whosoever recites the Qur'aan Kareem and acts upon it's commands and conveys it to others, will have the Qur'aan as an interceder for him, which Allaah will definitely accept. To keep the Qur'aan in front means to give it preference over lesser things. On the other hand, he who neglects it by ignoring it's commands and by going against them, will earn Jahannam. 10. The intercession of the Qur'aan Kareem. Hadhrat Abu Amamata Bahili (Radhiallahu anhu) says that he heard Rasulullaah (Sallallahu alayhi wasallam) say that Recite the Qur'aan Kareem, because on the Day of Qiyaamat it will intercede for it's reciters. (Narrated by Muslim). Commentary: The Qur'aan Kareem will intercede for those who recite it. It is thus wise to become habitual in reciting the Qur'aan. Read it daily and act upon it's commands. Remember that whoever the Qur'aan intercedes for, Allaah will not reject it's intercession. 11. A Crown brighter than the sun. Hadhrat Sahl bin Maaz Juhni (R.A.) narrates from his father that Rasulullaah (Sallallahu alayhi wasallam) said: Whosoever read the Qur'aan and acted upon whatever is in it, then on the day of Qiyaamat, his parents will be made to wear such a crown which will be brighter than this sun which is present in your homes. Tell me what is your opinion concerning the one who also acts upon it. (Narrated by Abu Dawood and Hakimi who said it has a reliable chain of narrators.). Commentary: Not only do the Hafiz and the Qaari benefit by reciting the Qur'aan Kareem, but their parents also benefit. On the day of Qiyaamat, they will be honoured by Allaah Himself by being adorned with shining crowns. One can thus imagine how much greater is the reward and honour for the one who reads, teaches and acts upon the commands of the Qur'aan. What glad tidings for those who are themselves Haafiz and who make their children do likewise. They are the ones who have gained both in this world and in the Aakhiraat. 12. Crown and Clothing. Hadhrat Abu Hurairah (Radhiallahu anhu) stated that Rasulullaah (Sallallahu alayhi wasallam) said :Whosoever read the Qur'aan, learnt it and acted upon it, his parents will be made to wear a crown which will glitter like the light of the sun and they will be made to wear such clothing which is more rich than the garments of the entire world. They will then inquire as to why they are being so adorned. They will be informed that their son memorised the Qur'aan Kareem. (Narrated by Hakeem : Reliable on the conditions of Muslim.) Commentary: In various Ahaadith, various rewards have been mentioned concerning the parents of the Haafiz and the Qaari. In this Hadith the wearing of outstanding robes has been mentioned. 13. Pleasure of Allaah Ta'aala Hadhrat Abu Hurairah (Radhiallahu anhu) states that Rasulullaah (S.A.W) said "On the Day of Qiyaamat, the one of the Qur'aan will come .Then Qur'aan will beseech:"Oh Rabb, Adorn him." Thus he will be made to wear the crown of dignity and honour. The Qur'aan Kareem will say:"Honour him more." Thus he will be made to wear garments of honour and dignity. The Qur'aan Kareem will say:"Be pleased with him". Thus Allaah will be pleased with him. Then it will be said to the one of the Qu'raan, "Keep reading and reach the lofty status and on every aayat, one reward will be increased. (Narrated by Tirmidhi and Ibne Huzaimah and Hakeem.) Commentary: Subhaanallaah! How fortunate are the reciters and teachers of the Qur'aan who obey its commands as well. Not only will they be adorned in such an honourable way, but Allaah will be pleased with them. What a greater reward can anyone desire? 14. Status. Hadhrat Abdullaah bin Umar and Abdullaah bin Aas (Radhiallahu anhum) say that Rasulullaah (Sallallahu alayhi wasallam) stated:"It will be said to the reciter of the Qur'aan Kareem, "You read and reach (the lofty position), and read with Tajweed and Tahleel (correct , clear and distinct) as you read in the world, because your abode will be (the height reached) with the recital on the last aayat you read. (Narrated by Tirmidhi, Ibne Huzaimah and Hakeem and said that the chain of narrators are reliable.) Commentary: Allamah Kathbi (R.A.) writes that there are as many stages in Jannat as the number of aayats in the Qur'aan. Whoever recites the entire Qur'aan will reach the highest stage of Jannat and whoever reads less will attain that stage upto which he has read. 15. Deserving of "ghibta" Hadhrat Ibne Umar (Radhiallahu anhu) stated that Rasulullaah (S.AW.) said: "Hasad (Jealousy meaning Ghibta) is not proper except for two persons. One is the person whom Allaah Ta'aala has given this Kitaab (Qur'aan) and he recites it day and night, and one is the person whom Allaah Ta'aala has given wealth and he spends it day and night. (narrated by Bukhaari and Muslim.) Commentary:- The word "hasad" literally means the desire that which one is jealous about should be taken away from the person to whom it belongs and given to the one who is jealous. Since this type of jealousy is abhorred and prohibited, the Ulemah have stated that "hasad" should be interpreted as "ghibta" in this Hadith, which means the person desires that the possessor of the good should not be deprived of it but the one desiring it should also have it. Ghibta should be made for all blessed things. This is praiseworthy. 16. Envy for Good. Hadhrat Abu Hurairah (Radhiallahu anhu) narrates that Rasulullaah (Sallallahu alayhi wasallam) said:"Gibta is not proper but on two persons. One who Allaah Ta'aala taught the Qur'aan and he recites it day and night, through which his neighbour hears and says:"How I wish that I had such a gift and I could also act likewise." One is the person whom Allaah Ta'aala has given wealth and who spends it on permissible places such that a person looks at this and says :"How I wish that I had wealth like him so that I could also spend it in abundance. (on good). (narrated by Bukhaari). Commentary: Generally their is a negative impression about wealth but wealth can be a great blessing if it is used properly. To spend on good necessary items and for the poor and the less fortunate creates alot of rewards for the giver and is worthy of being imitated and desired after. 17. Three persons. Hadhrat Ibne Umar (Radhiallahu anhu) says that Rasulullaah (S.A.W.) stated that the great fear and awe will not cause them fear (in the Aakhirat) and there will be no accountability for them. They will be seated on hillocks of musk until the accountability of the creation is complete. One is that person who recites the Qur'aan for the pleasure of Allaah Ta'aala and who makes Imaamat for the nation such that they are happy with him; and that Muazzin who gives Azaan for the pleasure of Allaah Ta'aala; and that slave who also acts (behaves) properly and maintains a good relationship between himself and his master. (Tabaraani) In the commentary of Mujeem Kaabir lil Tabaraani, it is related as "Hadhrat Umar (Radhiallahu anhu) says :"If I did not hear Rasulullaah(Sallallahu alayhi wasallam) say it not once or twice but I have counted him saying it upto seven times, I should not have narrated it." In Jami Sagheer these words of Mujeem Kaabir are:- "On the day of Qiyaamat, three persons will be seated on hillocks of musk. They will have no fear, no awe or anxiety, nor will they be afraid (shocked). They will remain there until people are completed with accountability. One is that person who learnt how to recite the Qur'aan and recites it for the pleasure of Allaah. One is that person who calls the Azaan day and night for the five daily salaat for the reward and pleasure of Allaah. And one person is that slave who is not neglectful in his obedience to his Rabb despite being a slave (obedient) to the world." Commentary: The blessing of being able to sit on mounds of musk when the rest of the creation is engrossed frightened and some in a state of remorse and panic because of the greatest of all Account taking is indeed great. The relief which such a reward grants will only be realised on the day of Accountability. Such a blessing should be grabbed with both hands. The Loftiness of the words of Allaah give tranquillity to the reciter in this world and in the Aakhiraat . May Allaah create a craving in our hearts to attain such great rewards. 18. The Blessing of Hifz-e-Qur'aan. Hadhrat Abu Hurairah (Radhiallahu anhu) says that once Rasulullaah (Sallallahu alayhi wasallam) wanted to despatch a Jamaat of a few persons. He inquired from each of them about the extent of their knowledge of the Qur'aan. From amongst them came the turn of a young person. He (Sallallahu alayhi wasallam) said :"...how much of the Qur'aan have you learnt?." The youth replied about the various Surahs he had learnt and mentioned Surah Baqarah. Nabi (Sallallahu alayhi wasallam) asked:" Do you know Surah Baqarah? " The youth confirmed this. Nabi (Sallallahu alayhi wasallam) said:"You be their Amir". From amongst those who had given excuses for not knowing Surah Baqarah, one of them said:"By Allaah, The only thing that prevented me from learning Surah Baqarah is that I would not be able to fulfil it's right." Rasulullaah (Sallallahu alayhi wasallam) said:" Learn the Qur'aan Kareem and recite it, for the one who learns the Qur'aan Kareem, reads it and acts upon it, is like a(open) bag which is filled with musk such that it's fragrance spreads wherever it is. The example of one who learns (the Qur'aan) and sleeps is like a bag of musk which has been tied at the top.(Narrated by Tirmidhi, Hassen, briefly in Ibne Maja and Ibne Habbaan in his Sahih ). Commentary: Thus far we have learnt how the reciter of the Qur'aan benefits himself and his parents in the Aakhiraat . In this Hadith we learn how the reciter of the Qur'aan benefits those ho listen to him by creating within them a desire to do likewise. Two types of reciters are described here. The one who acts upon what he reads is likened to a bag of musk which is open, because the fragrance (effect) of his good spreads far and wide. The one who recites and sleeps is likened to a bag of musk which, although it possesses such a good fragrance, it is not open and therefore the beauty and goodness remains confined to one person only. This teaches us about the benefits and greatness of reciting the Qur'aan. It also teaches the reciters of this Noble Book that by not acting upon it's beautiful just laws, so much of it's fragrance is kept restricted and limited. This Hadith is an inspiration to those who recite it, to act upon it as well. 19. Nabuwwat in the chest (bosom). Hadhrat Abdullaah bin Umar (Radhiallahu anhu) said that Rasulullaah(Sallallahu alayhi wasallam) stated : The one who reads the Qur'aan has entered Nabuwwat in his chest. although one thing no Wahi (Divinely protected revelation) comes to him. The one who recites and teaches the Qur'aan should not fight with a quarrelsome one, nor should he reproach an ignorant with ignorance when in his (the reciters) abdomen, he has the Kalaam (speech) of Allaah Ta'aala. (Narrated by Hakim by a reliable chain of narrators). Commentary: The Qur'aan is that which was revealed to Nabi (Sallallahu alayhi wasallam). The one who learns it has absorbed the Wahi-e-ilaahi(revelation of Allaah) and Nabuwwat (i.e. the teachings of the All Mighty) is present in his heart although he cannot become a Nabi because Nabuwwat has terminated. The one who has the Qur'aan in his chest (heart) should not quarrel, fight or use abusive language. The Qur'aan stands for all that is good and therefore, abusive ways do not mix with the advice of the Qur'aan just as oil and water do not mix. The holder of such goodness as is in the Qur'aan should try to inculcate within himself the beautiful character of Nabi (S.A.W) and the pious predecessors. 20. The intercession of the Fast and the Qur'aan-e-Kareem. Hadhrat Abdullaah bin Umar (Radhiallahu anhu) states that Rasulullaah(Sallallahu alayhi wasallam) said:"Fasting and the Qur'aan Kareem will intercede for the servant (of Allaah) . The Fast will say:"Oh my Rabb, I prevented him from eating and drinking during the day so accept my intercession concerning him." The Qur'aan will say:" I prevented him from sleeping so accept my intercession concerning him." Consequently, the intercession of these two will be accepted. (Narrated by Ahmed and Ibne Abi Dunya in Kitaabul Joo and by Tabraani in Al-Kaaabir and Haakim on the conditions of Muslim ) Commentary: Fasting and the Qur'aan will intercede on behalf of those who upheld their rights and carried out Allaah's commands concerning them. For every sacrifice of Man, even if it does not put him through excessive pain and suffering, Allaah grants a befitting reward. The acceptance of such a great intercession is to be sought after by all those who realise the agony of the Last Day and who love their Rabb. May Allaah Ta'aala grant us all the ability to read with understanding, to teach to others and most of all to act upon the commands of the Qur'aan Kareem and to abstain from prohibited actions. May Allaah grant us the eagerness and enthusiasm to ponder and contemplate upon the open aayats so that they become an argument and proof for us. Aameen. Hadhrat Sahl (Radhiallahu anhu) says : "that the sign of the love of Allaah Ta'aala is to love the Qur'aan Kareem, and the sign of the love of the Qur'aan Kareem, is to love Nabi (Sallallahu alayhi wasallam), and the sign of the love of Nabi (Sallallahu alayhi wasallam), is to love the Ahaadith (his sayings) and Sunnat, and the sign of the love of the Sunnat is the love of the Aakhirat, and the sign of the love of the Aakhirat is to have enmity for the world and the sign of enmity towards the world is to take only that which is necessary." :'( [] And much more Ahaadiths on this regard.

An-Nisaa When a (courteous) greeting is offered you, meet it with a greeting still more courteous, or (at least) of equal courtesy. Allah takes careful account of all things. Hadith Khaulah Al-Ansariyah (may Allah be pleased with her) said that she heard the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) saying: Many people are using the property of Allah unrightfully. For them is Hell on the Day of Judgment. (Reported by Al-Bukhari) Lessons Deduced: - Public money should not be used for private interests. Encroachment on public money is one of the grievous sins which incur punishment in the Hereafter. - Islam takes all measures to protect public money and public properties.      ____________________________________________________________ Dua "Our Lord! grant unto us wives and offspring who will be the comfort of our eyes, and give us (the grace) to lead the righteous."

Messengers were exchanged between the two parties near Akko. Richard the Lion-Hearted proposed to marry his niece Juana the Queen of Sicily to Salah Al-Din’s brother Emir Al-`Adil bin Aiyub, so that Al-Quds (Jerusalem) might be ruled jointly by the Muslims and the crusaders. However, Salah Al-Din did not accept such proposal. The two parties agreed to conclude a treaty. For Salah Al-Din, by signing this treaty he was not to lose any of the gains he achieved, including defeating the crusaders in Saffuriyah and Hittin, in addition to the restoration of Al-Quds (Jerusalem). The treaty included many provisions, most important of which were: 1. The coastal area between Jaffa and Akko is to be under the dominance of the crusaders. Following the signing of Al-Ramlah Treaty this region was called the Crusader Kingdom of Akko; its area was estimated 50 km. 2. The Muslims will retain all the territories in their possession, which they have liberated, including Al-Quds, permitting Christians to visit the sacred places in the city. It can be safely said that the Third Crusade, which was launched by the most powerful European armies, ended with failure, due to their inability to restore Al-Quds, the city which they first claimed that they would liberate from the infidel Muslims. ___________________________________________________________ Say: He is Allah,  the One and Only, Allah the Eternal, Absolute.

Al-i-'Imran Allah did confer a great favour on the Believers when He sent among them a Messenger from among themselves, rehearsing unto them the Signs of Allah, sanctifying them, and instructing them in Scripture and Wisdom, while before that, they had been in manifest error. Hadith `Abdullah bin `Amr bin Al-`As (may Allah be pleased with them) reported that the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) said: That who enters the fold of Islam and is provided with sustenance which is sufficient for his needs and Allah makes him content with what He has bestowed upon him, has achieved true prosperity. (Reported by Muslim) Lessons Deduced: - There is a great merit for the one who avoids begging people and the one who is satisfied with what he gets, however little it might be. - Having sufficiency is better than being rich or poor because richness may lead to haughtiness and poverty may lead to humility.

Al-i-'Imran And let not those who covetously withhold of the gifts which Allah hath given them of His Grace, think that it is good for them: nay, it will be the worse for them; soon shall the things which they covetously withheld be tied to their necks like a twisted collar, on the Day of Judgment. To Allah belongs the heritage of the heavens and the earth; and Allah is well-acquainted with all that ye do. Hadith On the authority of Miqdad bin Ma`di Karib (may Allah be pleased with him) who reported: I heard the Messenger of Allah (may peace be upon him) saying: "No man fills a utensil worse than his stomach A few morsels that keep his back upright are sufficient for a man. If eating is necessary, he should fill one-third with food, one-third with drink, and leave one-third for easy breathing." (Reported by Al-Tirmidhi) Lessons deduced: 1.

Throughout two months following the victory achieved by Salah Al-Din in Hittin, the Muslim armies began to enter crusader cities and fortresses. As a result, fifty cities and villages, which had been occupied by the crusaders, were liberated in a very short time. Despite these conquests, Salah Al-Din’s ultimate goal was concentrated on liberating Al-Quds from the clutches of the enemies of Islam, a promise that he had made to all Muslims. Salah Al-Din led the Muslim army towards Al-Quds and besieged it for one week until its garrison surrendered. He entered it on Friday in Rajab, 27. When the Muslims entered Al-Quds, Salah Al-Din copied the example of `Umar bin Al-Khattab when the latter entered Al-Quds for the first time; he gave all Christians who lived there a pledge of protection for their lives, honors and properties.     __________________________________________________________ Say: He is Allah,  the One and Only Allah the Eternal, Absolute.

Thereupon, the Messenger (peace be upon him)said, "Sha`ban is a month which people do not heed, and it is a month in which people's acts are raised to Allah, Lord of the Worlds, and I like that my acts be raised to Allah while I am fasting." (Rported by Al-Nasa'i and Ahmad) Lessons deduced 1. Sha`ban is a meritorious month. 2. Observing Fast in Sha`ban is an act of virtue. 3.

Be just: that is next to Piety: and fear Allah. For Allah is well-acquainted with all that ye do. Hadith According to Abu Qatadah Al-Ansasri (may Allah be pleased with him), "The Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) was asked about observing Fast on Mondays.

[slm]21.The Most beneficial thing. Hadhrat Abu Zarr (Radhiallahu anhu) stated that Rasulullaah (Sallallahu alayhi wasallam) said that you cannot return to Allaah with anything better than the Qur'aan, which has been created by Him and which has been made apparent by Him.(Narrated by Hakeem and Abu Dawood.) Commentary: It is narrated in one Hadith that nothing has as much proximity to Allaah as does the Quir'aan. The words "made apparent" means being revealed to Nabi (Sallallahu alayhi wasallam), or that Allah has granted Man the ability to articulate it and to preserve it in his chest (heart). Some elders have said that it meant the commentary and commands of Allaah Ta'aala or that which emanates from the Qur'aan. Whichever interpretation one follows, there is always some blessing in Allaah having made the Qur'aan accessible and understandable to all mankind. 22. Special Servant. Hadhrat Anas (Radhiallahu anhu) says that Rasulullaah (Sallallahu alayhi wasallam) said:"Oh people, there are some special servants of Allaah Ta'aala. We inquired :"Who are these Oh! Rasulullaah? He said:"Those who memorise the Qur'aan Kareem are the special servants and friends of Allaah. (Narrated by Nisai, Ibne Maja, Hakeem.) Munzari says that it is reliable. Commentary: The special servants of Allaah are those friends of Allaah who are engaged in the service of Deen and in the recitation and teaching of the Qur'aan Kareem. Allaah Ta'aala makes them His special servants and close ones. They are counted amongst the friends of Allaah just as the people of Makkah are called the people (ones) of Allaah for they stay near the Baitullaah. We spend so much time and effort trying to be friendly with mortals like ourselves who can not benefit us much. It is much wiser to try and befriend the Greatest of all Helpers. 23. The blessings of the Qur'aan Kareem. Hadhrat Ibne Abbaas (Radhiallahu anhu) says that whosoever recites the Qur'aan will not return to "Arszal Umoor". This is what is meant by the Blessed saying ."Then they will fling bottom to bottom" (i.e. except all those who recite the Qur'aan Kareem.) (Narrated by Hakeem through a reliable chain of narrators.) Commentary: Those who teach and memorise the Qur'aan Kareem, Allaah Ta'aala does not impair their intellect and senses as they age but He maintains such servants with proper intellect, strength and good health. 24. Noblest of people. Hadhrat Ibne Abbaas (Radhiallahu anhu) says that Rasulullaah (Sallallahu alayhi wasallam) said that the carriers of the Qur'aan Kareem ( i.e. those who memorise the Qur'aan) and those who engage in Ibaadat and stand in the night ( in prayer etc. ) are the most respected and noble people . Commentary: Carriers of the Qur'aan means those who recite, memorise and act upon the Qur'aan Kareem. Those who make Ibaadat at night means those who remain engaged in Tahajjud, Zikr, Tilaawat and in praising Allaah. 25. Not to make it a means of monetary gain. Hadhrat Abdur-Rahmaan bin Shibul Ansaari(Radhiallahu anhu) narrates from Nabi (Sallallahu alayhi wasallam) that keep reciting the Qur'aan Kareem and keep acting upon it. Do not abstain from it's recitation, nor be extreme in doing so, nor make it a means of commerce and for increasing wealth.(Narrated by Ahmed and Abu Yala and Tabraani and Bayhaqi). Commentary: One should read the Qur'aan Shareef and refrain from neglecting it. One should also not reach such an extreme in reciting and teaching it, that other forms of Ibaadat (worship) are neglected in the process. The Qur'aan is a means of earning reward in the Aakhirat. It should not be used as a means for livelihood nor to amass wealth. 26. A Prophecy. Hadhrat Imraan bin Hussein(Radhiallahu anhu) narrates that once he passed by a Qaari who recited the Qur'aan Shareef and thereafter began begging .Hadhrat Imraan Hussein read: and then he said "I have heard from Rasulullaah (Sallallahu alayhi wasallam), that whosoever reads the Qur'aan should only ask from Allaah Ta'aala , for shortly there will come such a nation who will recite the Qur'aan Kareem and ask from the people." (narrated by Tirmidhi and classified as Hassan.) Commentary: Hadhrat Imraan (Radhiallahu anhu)'s reaction and reciting of ,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, .....................after witnessing the Qaari's behaviour expresses his sorrow at such an action. Instead of earning the Aakhirat through the Qur'aan Shareef, it is being used to earn and extra few pennies for the world. This illustrates to us that the reader of the Qur'aan should ask for all his needs only from Allaah Ta'aala, whether they pertain to the world or to the Aakhiraat- hereafter. 27. Reciting the Qur'aan sweetly. Hadhrat Abu Hurairah(Radhiallahu anhu) says that Rasulullaah (S.A.W) stated that person is not amongst us who does not recite the Qur'aan with "Tagannoo" (sweetly). (Narrated by Bukhaari, Ahmed, Abu Dawood, Ibne Habbaan, Hakeem from Saeed). Commentary: In the Hadith, the word used is "Lam Yatahannoo". Most Ulema state that this means that the one who does not recite "sweetly" is not one of us, or the one who because of his knowing the Qur'aan is not independent of others is not from us. The words "not of us" mean that he is not on our path, and is not acting upon our Sunnat. To recite the Qur'aan Kareem in a sweet manner has an effect on the reciters inner self and on those listening to him. This does not mean that the laws of Tajweed should be overlooked. To recite contrary to the laws of Tajweed is prohibited. Hadhrat Abu Abeed (Radhiallahu anhu) states that the word "independent" either refers to independence from other books or the one whom the Qur'aan does not make independent and he does not have faith in the promise and warnings then he should not testify to it's truthfulness. Allaamah Ibne Jauzi states that the meaning of "sweetness" has four connotations in zikr ; 1) good voice 2) to gain independence through it. 3) to be sorrowful 4) to shun other things through it. Other Ulema state that it means to take pleasure and taste from it. 28. The punishment for making the Qur'aan a means of earning. Hadhrat Buraidhah (Radhiallahu anhu) stated that Rasulullaah (S.AW.) said that the one who read the Qur'aan Kareem so as to take money from the people through it , will on the Day of Judgement be in such a condition that there will be no flesh on his face. (narrated by Bahaiqi). Commentary: The Qur'aan Kareem should not be used for monetary gain and begging.. To resort to this is to invite destruction and humiliation in the Aakhirat. 29. Status of the Qur'aan. Hadhrat Ayesha (Radhiallahu anhu) narrates that the merciful Nabi (Sallallahu alayhi wasallam) said that to recite Qur'aan in Salaat is more superior than recitation outside Salaat which is more superior to reciting Subhaanallaah..AllaahuAkbar which is more superior than Sadaqah. Sadaqah is more superior than fasting and fasting is a shield from the fire of Jahannam. (narrated by Dare-Qutni in Alfurad and Baihiqi in Shuhbatul Imaan) Commentary: There are various stages of reciting the Qur'aan. Reciting it in Salaat is the most superior. No zikr or Tasbeeh is greater than Allaah's Kalaam as contained in the Qur'aan. Sadaqah earns more reward than Fasting and Fasting is the shield for the fire of Jahannam. This illustrates clearly how much more can be achieved through the Qur'aan. 30. Reciting the Qur'aan Kareem while looking. Hadhrat Uwais bin Abi Uwais Thafi (Radhiallahu anhu) narrates a "marfoo" hadith which states that by reciting the Qur'aan Kareem without looking into it earns a thousand stages reward and by reciting the Qur'aan Kareem while looking into it earns two thousand times more than that.(narrated by Tabraani and Baihiqi) Commentary: When one reads the Qur'aan while looking into it the tongue is engaged in Tilaawat ; the eyes are also performing an Ibaadat by looking into it; the hands by touching and holding it and the mind by pondering over it's meaning and message. A person who recites without looking into the Qur'aan tends to recite faster and misses out on these things. Thus the greater reward. 31. How many days should one take to complete the Qur'aan. Hadhrat Ibne Umar (Radhiallahu anhu) narrated in a "marfoo" hadith that the Qur'aan Kareem should be completed every month ; every twenty nights ; every ten days and every seven days. Do not complete it in less than that. (narrated by Bukhaari, Muslim, Abu Dawood). Commentary: This hadith is mentioned very briefly. In the original "Nabi (Sallallahu alayhi wasallam) said "Complete the Qur'aan Kareem every month" I said that I have the ability to read more. Nabi(S.AW.) said 'Complete it every twenty days............." upto the end. It is clear from this hadith that we should read as much as is comfortably possible and we should not rush through it. In one hadith it is stated that one who completed the Qur'aan in less than three days has not understood whilst reading. It is prohibited to recite very speedily, chewing, mincing and eating the words. Instead of earning reward, one will end up sinning. 32. To read the Qur'aan Kareem with understanding. Hadhrat Abdullaah bin Umar (Radhiallahu anhu) says Rasulullaah (Sallallahu alayhi wasallam) said :"Read the Qur'aan until it prevents you, and when it does not prevent you, then you are not reciting it."(narrated by Dalaami in Musnad-e-Firdose) Commentary : This hadith means that we should recite the Qur'aan with understanding so that it prevents us from wrongdoing and act upon it's commands. A person who recites the Qur'aan without understanding ; who does not act upon it's commands; who does not abstain from it's prohibitions, then his recitation and non recitation is equal. The purpose of reciting the Qur'aan is to do so correctly and to understand it's commands and prohibitions and to ponder over it's clear signs and warnings. 33. To read the Qur'aan Kareem with sorrow . ( in a sad tone ) Hadhrat Buraidah(Radhiallahu anhu) says that Rasulullaah(Sallallahu alayhi wasallam) said recite the Qur'aan with sorrow for it was revealed with grief. ( narrated by Abu Yala, Tabrani in Aoosaat, Abu Naeem in Al -Hilaat) Commentary It is mentioned that Hadhrat Abu Hurairah (Radhiallahu anhu) read the Qur'aan in such a very painful manner. Such recitation creates softness of the heart. The words "revealed with grief" illustrate how the Qur'aan Kareem objected to Kufr, darkness and about the lies of the Kuffaar ; how it informed about the consequences of their arrogance, disobedience and evil; about those who are going to be punished in this world. Therefore, when reading the Qur'aan, one should ponder about the mentioned warnings, consequences, punishments etc. Such reminders have led many to shed tears of regret and prayers for forgiveness. This is a sign of sincerity and this leads to positive change. 34. Reciting the Qur'aan seriously. Hadhrat Jundub (Radhiallahu anhu) says that Rasulullaah (Sallallahu alayhi wasallam) said Recite the Qur'aan Kareem until your heart is attached to it, but when the heart is not attached , then rise up. (Narrated by Ahmed, Bukhaari, Muslim, Nisai) Commentary: The Qur'aan should be read with respect and with a sincere desire to benefit from it. This can only be done if one focuses one's attention towards this goal and reads with understanding so as to absorb it's contents. When it is read without any enthusiasm and the correct focus, then the mind and the heart lingers elsewhere and only the tongue moves. When such a condition arises, then instead of continuing such Tilaawat, put the Qur'aan away and start reading again only when the mind is fresh and conscious of the greatness it is involved with. 36. Protection from punishment. Hadhrat Abu Amama (Radhiallahu anhu) narrates that Rasulullaah (Sallallahu alayhi wasallam) said-Recite the Qur'aan Kareem, for Allaah Ta'aala will not punish that heart which protected the Qur'aan Kareem.(narrated by all.) Commentary: The protectors of the Qur'aan Kareem, are those who recite it, teach it, act upon it and who make others act upon it. These ones will not be punished. Hadhrat Sahl (Radhiallahu anhu) says "that the sign of the love of Allaah Ta'aala is to love the Qur'aan Kareem, and the sign of the love of the Qur'aan Kareem, is to love Nabi (Sallallahu alayhi wasallam), and the sign of the love of Nabi (Sallallahu alayhi wasallam), is to love the Ahaadith (his sayings) and Sunnat, and the sign of the love of the Sunnat is the love of the Aakhirat, and the sign of the love of the Aakhirat is to have enmity for the world and the sign of enmity towards the world is to take only that which is necessary." 36. The Qur'aan Kareem makes one independent. Hadhrat Anas (Radhiallahu anhu) narrates that Rasulullaah (Sallallahu alayhi wasallam) said The Qur'aan Kareem is so wealthy that after it, no need or poverty comes and besides it there is no means of supervision. (narrated by Abu Yala). Commentary: The Qur'aan Kareem enriches the heart of a Mo'min, thus the one who adheres to it and follows it's commands will be independent of others. The celestial light (nur) of the Qur'aan Kareem saves him from destruction and calamity. The Qur'aan Kareem removes needs and poverty. Imaam Ghazzali (Radhiallahu anhu) writes that one person stalled at the door of Hadhrat Umar(Radhiallahu anhu) who said,"Oh you, have you migrated to Umar or to Allaah, the Lofty?. Recite the Qur'aan, it will make you independent of my door. That person went away. Hadhrat Umar(Radhiallahu anhu) later searched for him and saw him engaged in Ibaadat. He asked him :"What is the matter, you have gone far from us?." He replied "I have read the Qur'aan Kareem. It has made me independent of Umar." Hadhrat Umar(Radhiallahu anhu) asked :"What did you find in it.?" He replied:" "In the sky is your provision and also that which has been promised to you." Upon hearing this Hadhrat Umar (Radhiallahu anhu) wept. 37. Reward for recitation of the Qur'aan. Hadhrat Umar (Radhiallahu anhu) states that Rasulullaah (Sallallahu alayhi wasallam) said that the Qur'aan Kareem has one million twenty seven thousand letters , thus that person who reads it with the intention of reward, with patience will receive in exchange for every letter, a wife from the big eyed damsels of Jannat. (narrated by Tabraani in Ausat ) Commentary: Allaah, the Almighty possesses an infinite amount of bounties whom He bestows on His servants. There is no shortage in His treasury. He is Merciful and loves giving. He is the Best Giver. We do not even have to exert ourselves greatly in order to receive His abundant rewards. 38. Nur Mubeen and Zikr Hakeem. One Sahaabi narrates from Nabi (Sallallahu alayhi wasallam) that the Qur'aan Kareem is Nur-e-Mubeen (clear celestial light) and Zikr-e-Hakeem (Remembrance of the wise) and Siraatal Mustaqeem (the Straight Path). (Narrated by Baihiqi) Commentary: The Qur'aan Kareem is an open light whose brightness reaches far and wide into the hearts of those who are sincere. It lights up the path towards righteousness and guidance. Zikr-e-Hakeem means that it provides sermons and advice, or that it's aayats are of a decisive quality. No doubt exists in it whatsoever. It is stated: "This is a decisive Kitaab, then it's contents have been elucidated. It is by One Who is Wise and Knowing." Whoever stands firmly on the Siraatal Mustaqeem will be successful and reach the desired destination. 39. The Qur'aan Kareem is a Medicine. Hadhrat Ali(Radhiallahu anhu) stated that Rasulullaah(Sallallahu alayhi wasallam) said that the Qur'aan Kareem is a medicine. (narrated by Qazzaii) Commentary: It is recorded in Ibne Maja that the Qur'aan Kareem is the best medicine. By medicine is meant that it is s treatment for the ailments of the inner self, such as the illness of the heart , the rectification of erroneous beliefs, doubts and imagination. It also a cure for external ailments. It is stated : "We have revealed the Qur'aan by which diseases are cured i.e. by which diseases are defended. Many Aayats are so Powerful that by merely reciting them so many ailments have been cured and continue to be cured every day. 40. Hafiz -e-Quraan will be the chief of the Jannaties. Hadhrat Anas (Radhiallahu anhu) narrates from Rasulullaah (Sallallahu alayhi wasallam) that the one of the Qur'aan Kareem will be the "Arif" of the Jannaties. (narrated by Auzaai ) Commentary: The Ulema, Huffaaz, those who act upon the commands of the Qur'aan Kareem will be the chiefs and guides of the Jannaties."Arif" are those who are under the Imaam and Haakim (rulers) who have obtained a degree of governance. Allaamah Munadi (Radhiallahu anhu) says from this we learn that there are stages in Jannat. Therein also are levels of rulers, and chiefs of all the people. Ambiyaa (AS) are the Imaams and guides of the people. Those who read, teach and act upon the Qur'aan Kareem are their deputies. They will guide the people . In this world they conveyed to the people the Deen, Qur'aan and Ahaadith brought by Rasulullaah (Sallallahu alayhi wasallam)to the people. They were Nabi(Sallallahu alayhi wasallam)'s heirs and deputies. So too will they be in the Aakhirat. This is a status worth striving for and deserving of "ghibta".Every true Muslim is eager to be an heir and deputy to Nabi S.A.W.). By following what we have learnt thus far we can obtain this worthy status. May Allaah Ta'aala grant us all the ability to read with understanding, to teach to others and most of all to act upon the commands of the Qur'aan Kareem and to abstain from prohibited actions. May Allaah grant us the eagerness and enthusiasm to ponder and contemplate upon the open aayats so that they become an argument and proof for us. Aameen. Hadhrat Sahl (Radhiallahu anhu) says : "that the sign of the love of Allaah Ta'aala is to love the Qur'aan Kareem, and the sign of the love of the Qur'aan Kareem, is to love Nabi (Sallallahu alayhi wasallam), and the sign of the love of Nabi (Sallallahu alayhi wasallam), is to love the Ahaadith (his sayings) and Sunnat, and the sign of the love of the Sunnat is the love of the Aakhirat, and the sign of the love of the Aakhirat is to have enmity for the world and the sign of enmity towards the world is to take only that which is necessary."

Verse of the Day - Saba Say: "Verily my Lord enlarges and restricts the Sustenance to such of His servants as He pleases: and nothing do ye spend in the least (in His Cause) but He replaces it: for He is the Best of those who grant Sustenance. Hadith of the Day Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him) reported: Allah's Apostle (may the peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: Allah, the Exalted and Glorious, said: I have prepared for My pious servants which no eye (has ever) seen, no ear has (ever) heard and no human heart has ever perceived. About this Allah has informed you: (So no soul knows what refreshment of the eyes is hidden for them: a reward for what they did). (Agreed-upon) Lessons Deduced: ________________ 1. Arousing one's desire in Paradise and its pleasures. 2. The pleasures of Paradise are beyond human imagination. 3. Only the pious deserve Paradise and its pleasures. Dua of the Day "Our Lord! avert from us the Wrath of Hell, for its Wrath is indeed an affliction grievous” (25:65) Islamic Personality Ja`far Bin Abi Talib (May Allah Be Pleased with Him) His Conversion to Islam: His name is Ja`far bin Abi Talib bin `Abdul-Muttalib, known as “Abu Al-Masakin” due to his affection and kindness towards the poor. He is the cousin of the Prophet (peace be upon him). He was among the earlier men who embraced Islam. His Migration to Abyssinia: When Ja`far and his wife Asma’ bint `Umais suffered torture a great deal at the hands of the polytheists of the Quraish, the Prophet (peace be upon him) permitted them to migrate to Abyssinia. When the Quraish sent `Amr bin Al-`As, before his conversion to Islam, and `Abdullah bin Abi Rabi`ah to Al-Najashi (Negus) carrying presents to him to hand over the migrants whom he sheltered, the role of Ja`far was crucial in that situation. When Al-Najashi asked the Muslim migrants about their religion, Ja`far took the floor and said: “We were some ignorant idol worshipers. We used to eat carrion flesh, commit abominable acts, sever the ties of kinship and violate the rights of neighborhood. The weak were crushed by the strong. We remained on that case until Allah sent us a Messenger whose lineage is known to us. He is famous for his truthfulness, honesty, and honor. He calls us to worship Allah alone and give up idol worshiping. He exhorts us to be truthful in speech, deliver the trusts, maintain the ties of kinship, observe the rights of neighborhood, abstain from abominable acts and to bury the hatchet to spare our lives. He forbids us to do misdeeds, false testimony, devouring the property of orphans and slandering chaste women. He ordered us to worship Allah and not to associate anything with Him in worship, to establish Prayer, pay Zakah and fast in Ramadan. He believed in him, followed his teachings and applied them in practical life. The attitude of our people towards us was aggressive. They tortured us to force us to abandon our religion and return us to idol worship. When the matter reached a climax, we migrated to your land and preferred to be in your shelter, hoping that no one can direct harm to us.” Al-Najashi turned to Ja`far and asked: “Do you have anything of what has been reveled to your prophet?” He said: “Yes,” and recited verses from the beginning of Surah Maryam (Mary). When Ja`far finished recitation, Al-Najashi wept until his beard was wet of tears and his patriarchs wept until their books were wet. Afterwards, Al-Najashi said: “What is revealed to your prophet and that which was revealed to Jesus emanate from one and the same source.” He turned to `Amr and his companions and said: “Go away! By Allah, I will never hand them over to you.” `Amr Tries to Change Al-Najashi’s Impression: In an attempt to incite Al-Najashi against the Muslim migrants, `Amar demanded to be in his audience again to tell him something. When they met, `Amr said: “Those whom you have give protection and shelter talk improperly about Jesus. You may ask them to be sure.” When the Muslim migrants learned about that they were greatly perturbed and wondered what should they say to Al-Najashi. However, they agreed to say what they believed in, no matter what would be the result. When they were summoned by Al-Najashi, he asked them about their belief in Jesus. Jar`far replied: “Our belief in Jesus relies on what our prophet has told us about him.” Al-Najashi asked: “What has he told you?” Ja`far replied: “He told us that Jesus is Allah’s servant and messenger and His Word which he bestowed on Mary and a spirit proceeding from Him.” No sooner Al-Najashi listened to these words than he stroke the earth with his hands several times and said: “By Allah, the description of Jesus does not differ from what you have said, even with an atom.” The patriarchs protested on this description, but Al-Najashi paid no attention to their protest. Al-Najashi turned to the Muslim migrants and reassured them of their safety in his land. He returned the presents to `Amr and his companions. In the seventh year of Hijrah, Ja`far and others Muslims with him left Abyssinia and went to Medina, following the conquest of Khaibar by the Prophet (peace be upon him). The Prophet was much pleased of Ja`far’s arrival. His Death: Ja`far martyred at the Battle of Mu’tah, along with Zaid bin Harithah and `Abdullah bin Rawahah.

Verse of the Day - Hud To Allah do belong the unseen (secrets) of the heavens and the earth, and to Him goeth back every affair (for decision): then worship Him, and put thy trust in Him: and thy Lord is not unmindful of aught that ye do. Hadith of the Day `Abdullah bin `Abbas (Allah be pleased with them) reported that the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) saw a gold ring in a man's hand. He (the Holy Prophet) pulled it off, and threw it away, saying: If one of you intends to go towards a fire brand, let him put this in his hand.

And grant, our Lord! that they enter the Gardens of Eternity, which Thou hast promised to them, and to the righteous among their fathers, their wives, and their posterity! for Thou art (He), the Exalted in Might, Full of Wisdom.” (40:7-8) Islamic Personality Al-Razi (251-313 A.H. / 865-936 A.D.) -            His name is Muhammad bin Zakariya Al-Razi. -            He was born in Al-Riy, Khurasan (eastern Tehran). -            In his early life, Al-Razi was interested in philosophical, linguistic and mathematical studies. -            When he was 30 years old, he moved to Baghdad where he began to learn medicine diligently.   -            He was appointed chief of Al-`Adudi Hospital in Baghdad. -            Later he returned to Al-Riy, where he was appointed chief of physicians in the Royal Hospital. -            Al-Razi became very famous everywhere. -            Al-Razi achieved many discoveries and inventions in the fields of medicine and chemistry: * He was the first to use suture * He was the first to distinguish between smallpox and measles * He made the ointment compounds from mercury * He used milk sweated with sugar as a treatment of tuberculosis * He introduced the idea of separating pharmacology from medicine * He utilized chemistry to serve medicine -            He inaugurated the specialization of chemical pharmacology ·           He was the first to compound alcohol from fermented saccharine solutions ·           He was the first to compound sulfuric acid by distilling iron sulfate -            In the last years of his life, Al-Razi lost his sight due to extensive reading at night. -            It was reported that a physician came to Al-Razi to perform a surgical operation in an attempt to recover his sight. Before the physician had started, Al-Razi asked him about the number of layers of the eye tissues. The physician hesitantly gave no answer. Al-Razi said: “A man who cannot answer this question is not entitled to carry a tool and tamper with my eyes.” -            The works of Al-Razi were about 230 in different fields. -            The most famous books written by Al-Razi were Al-Hawi fi Al-Tibb, Al-Mansuri fi Al-Tibb, Al-Judari wal Hasbah, Bur’ Al-Sa’ah, as well as Sirr Al-Asrar and Al-Tadbir in chemistry. -            Among his famous sayings: -            “Apply treatment that does not weaken the patient, using a medicine on which physicians agree, and whose effectiveness is accredited by people and whose influence is proved by experience.” -            “If a physician can cure illnesses by using food without medicine, he is a successful one.” -            “A patient should refer to an authority physician, whose faults are insignificant when compared to his merits.” -            “Lifespan is too short to comprehend the effect of all the plants that grow on earth. So stick to the most famous which you have already experimented.” -            “Reality in medicine is an unattainable aim. Reliance on books to prescribe a medicine without the experience of a clever physician is risky.”

Narrated Abu Huraira: One day while Allah's Apostle was sitting with the people, a man came to him walking & said, "O Allah's Apostle. What is Belief?" The Prophet said, "Belief is to believe in Allah, His Angels, His Books, His Apostles, & the meeting with Him, & to believe in the Resurrection." The man asked, "O Allah's Apostle What is Islam?" The Prophet replied, "Islam is to worship Allah & not worship anything besides Him, to offer prayers perfectly, to pay the (compulsory) charity i.e. Zakat & to fast the month of Ramadan." The man again asked, "O Allah's Apostle What is Ihsan (i.e. perfection or Benevolence)?" The Prophet said, "Ihsan is to worship Allah as if you see Him, & if you do not achieve this state of devotion, then (take it for granted that) Allah sees you." The man further asked, "O Allah's Apostle When will the Hour be established?" The Prophet replied, "The one who is asked about it does not know more than the questioner does, but I will describe to you its portents. When the lady slave gives birth to her mistress, that will be of its portents; when the bare-footed naked people become the chiefs of the people, that will be of its portents. The Hour is one of five things which nobody knows except Allah. Verily, the knowledge of the Hour is with Allah (alone). He sends down the rain, & knows that which is in the wombs." (31.34) Then the man left. The Prophet said, "Call him back to me." They went to call him back but could not see him. The Prophet said, "That was Gabriel who came to teach the people their religion."  [Bukhari Vol.6, Bk 60, # 300] ~ similar to Vol.1, Bk2, #47 ~

[slm] I will also be there to say some Hadith:- 1 . The saying of Subhan Allâh is for men and clapping is for women only, if they notice anything during prayer. Narrated Abû Huraira ÑÖì Çááå Úäå .The Prophet Õáì Çááå Úáíå æÓáã said, "They saying `Sûbhan Allâh' is for men and clapping is for women." (If something happens in the prayer, the men can invite the attention of the Imâm by saying "Sûbhân Allâh". And women, by clapping their hands). (SahIh Al-Bukhari, HadIth No. 295, Vol. 2) CHAPTER 24. 2 .Dhikr (remembering Allâh i.e. glorifying, megnifying and praising him etc.) after the prayer. Narrated Ibn `Abbas ÑÖì Çááå ÚäåãÇ : I used to recognise the completion of the prayer of the Prophet Õáì Çááå Úáíå æÓáã by hearing TakbIr. (SahIh Al-Bukhari, HadIth No. 803, Vol. 1) CHAPTER 24. 3 .Thing from which one should seek refuge with Allâh during the prayer. Narrated `isha ÑÖì Çááå ÚäåãÇ : I heard Allâh's Messenger in his prayers seeking refuge with Allâh from the Fitnah (trials and afflictions etc.) of Ad-Dajjâl. (SahIh Al-Bukhari, HadIth No. 795, Vol. I) 4. Knowledge about the way in which the believers shall see (their Lord). Narrated Abû Huraira ÑÖì Çááå Úäå : The people said, "O Allâh's Messenger Õáì Çááå Úáíå æÓáã ! Shall we see our Lord on the Day of Resurrection?" He replied, "Do you have any doubt in seeing the full moon on a clear night when there are no clouds?" They replied, "No, O Allâh's Messenger Õáì Çááå Úáíå æÓáã !” He said, "Do you have any doubt in seeing the sun when there are no clouds?" They replied in the negative. He said, "You will see Allâh (your Lord) in the same way. On the Day of Resurrection, people will be gathered. He will order the angels to take out of Hell those who worshipped none but Him alone. The angels will take them out by recognising them from the traces of prostrations, for Allâh has forbidden the (Hell) fire to eat away those traces. So they will come out of the Fire, it will eat away from the whole of the human body except the marks of the prostrations.

(i.e., None can enter Paradise through his good deeds.) They (the Prophet's companions) said, 'Not even you, O Allah's Apostle?' He said, "Not even myself, unless Allah bestows His favor and mercy on me." So be moderate in your religious deeds and do the deeds that are within your ability: and none of you should wish for death, for if he is a good doer, he may increase his good deeds, and if he is an evil doer, he may repent to Allah."
