[slm] In the Name of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful Enes Ibn Malik reports that a Bedouin came to the Messenger of Allah and greeted him in the mosque. The Messenger of Allah asked him where he came from. The Bedouin said:" I came from far seeking answers to some questions". Our master told him to ask his questions": • I wish to be an intelligent man, what should I do? Holy Prophet Replied, "Fear Allah". • I wish to be a loyal servant to Allah and do what He wants me to do? Holy Prophet Replied, "Read the Qur'an." • I wish to be enlightened and have peace of heart? Holy Prophet Replied, "Remember Death". • I wish to be protected against enemies? Holy Prophet Replied, "Trust in Allah". • I wish to follow the Straight Path? Holy Prophet Replied, "Do good to others for Allah's sake". • What should I do so that Allah does not abase me? Holy Prophet Replied, " Do not respond to the desires of your flesh". • I wish to have a long life? Holy Prophet Replied, "Praise and thank Allah". • I wish for prosperity? Holy Prophet Replied, "Be in a state of ablution at all times". • How can I save myself from the hellfire? Holy Prophet Replied, "Protect your eyes and your tongue and your hands and what is below your waistline against evil". • How can I cleanse myself from my sins? Holy Prophet Replied, "Shed tears for what you have done and repent by undoing what you have done wrong". • I wish to be a respectable person? Holy Prophet Replied, "Then, don't ask for anything from anybody". • I wish to be honorable? Holy Prophet Replied, "Then don't divulge the wrong doings of anybody". • What should I do to protect myself from the tortures of the grave? Holy Prophet Replied, "Recite the Surah Mulk". • What should one do to be rich? Holy Prophet Replied, "Read the Surah Muzammil". • How should I calm my fear of the day of last judgment? Holy Prophet Replied,"Remember Allah before you eat anything and before you sleep". • What should I do to feel the presence of Allah when I make my prayers? Holy Prophet Replied,"Give the utmost care in taking your ablutions and in being clean and pure. And Allah Tala Knows The Best. |
