Staying away from trials and temptations (Fitan) is a good deed.
Narrated Abu Sa'id Al Khudri (Ra.), The Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) as saying: "A Muslim's best property will soon be sheep which he will take to the tops of the mountains and the places where the rain falls, fleeing with his religion from the trials and temptations (fitan)."
[Sunan Abu Dawud, Hadith No. 4267]
.
عَنْ أَبِي سَعِيدٍ الْخُدْرِيِّ، قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم " يُوشِكُ أَنْ يَكُونَ خَيْرُ مَالِ الْمُسْلِمِ غَنَمًا يَتْبَعُ بِهَا شَعَفَ الْجِبَالِ وَمَوَاقِعَ الْقَطْرِ يَفِرُّ بِدِينِهِ مِنَ الْفِتَنِ " .
Islamic Traditionalism Vs. Modernism (Reinterpretation)!
Most Muslims do not even realize that what they are following as a religion is a collection of centuries-old traditions passed on to them without any refinement or little, if at all. A general impression, understanding, or belief is that, like the Qura’anic text, everything else is as well sacralized, preserved, and immutable.
I must remind the readers that it is an extensive subject and would…
Omission and trivialization of Islamic history by Sunni historians to such an extent that various Islamic events are regarded as footnotes rather than events with massive impact on Islam and Islamic society in general. Second, from a theological standpoint, a lot of authentic Sunni Hadiths are strongly supportive to the Shi'i claims. I recommend reading Hadith of Ghadeer Khumm, Hadith of the two weight things, the Calamity of tuesday, the event of Mubahila, Fatima's (sa) inheritance and Fatima's (sa) anger and The war of the camel. Third, there are a lot of companions whose acts I simply can not agree with and are not of virtuous and moral character.
“Whoever takes a complete bath on Friday then goes very early to the Khutbah, walking and not riding, sits close to the Imam, listens and does not speak or keep himself busy then for every step is the reward equivalent to a year of fasting and praying.”
Collected by Ahmad, Abu Dawud, Tirmidhi; authenticated by Sheikh Albani in Saheeh Al-Jaami' As-Sagheer' no. 6405
Did you pay attention to the hadith?
• Every step on your way to the masjid to perform Friday prayer is equivalent to the reward of a year of fasting and praying!
• One step equals fasting and praying for 365 days!
• So if there are 100 steps between you and the masjid, it is as if you fasted and stood for 100 years, and the more steps you take the number of years increases
Allah calls Himself As-Samad— The Eternal, Satisfier of Needs, the Refuge and Absolute— on one occasion in the Quran. As-Samad is the unchangeable one on whom the entire creation depends. He is the one unaffected by any circumstance and the only one able to fulfil all needs in the most perfect way, without Himself being in need of anything or anyone!
The Eternal, Everlasting Refuge, Satisfier of All Needs
Samad comes from the root saad-meem-daal, which points to two main meanings. The first main meaning is to reach or attain, or to aim toward something. The second main meaning is to turn to and to need, and the third is to remain unchanged and unaffected. The fourth main meaning is to be everlasting and eternal.
This root appears just once in the Quran, as the noun samad. The example is al-samadu (“The Eternal, Absolute”).
Linguistically, samad means something that is not affected by circumstances or something that is solid. Sumood refers to the concept of being firm and steadfast.
As-Samad is the the One who is not changed nor affected by anything in the creation, He is the eternal and absolute refuge to seek and depend on for all needs and desires.
As-Samad Himself says: Say, ‘He is Allah , [who is] One, Allah , the Eternal Refuge. He neither begets nor is born, nor is there to Him any equivalent.’ [Quran, 112:1-4]
A description of Allah
The only place in the Quran Allah ‘azza wa jall calls Himself As-Samad is in Surah Al-Ikhlaas; the virtuous surah mentioned in the authentic hadith in Muslim to equal one-third of the Quran. This short, but amazingly beautiful and profound surah is a description of Allah Himself, His Oneness, His samad’yyah and His incomparability. Allah revealed this surah as a powerful answer to the people of Makkah who asked the Prophet salallahu ‘alayhi wa sallam to describe His Lord and His ‘lineage.’
What is ikhlaas (sincerity)? It is doing deeds purely for Him and to seek His pleasure, because He is Al-Ahad, the One and Unique. It is turning to Him for our needs and desires and desire Him only, because He is As-Samad, The Eternal and Satisfier of Needs, and it is to live by the fact that there is no one equal to Him in any of His attributes!
How can you live by this name?
1. Recite and live by Surah al-Ikhlaas. Recite Surah Al-Ikhlaas often to gain reward, but not only that; learn to understand each word and live by the names of Allah mentioned in it. Love to recite this surah and talk about it to others as you are describing your Lord. Learn how to correctly recite it and convey it to at least one other person and teach your children the history and/or tafseer (explanation) of this virtuoussurah in which As-Samad is mentioned in order to instil love of Allah in their hearts.
2. Realize your dependence on Him.
One of the meanings of As-Samad is the One who is independent and self-sufficient. If you look at a manager, for example, one who has a high position with authority over others, it still takes one note from his superiors to end his career. This person is not samad. Then look at what we need tu survive as human beings; air, water, food, and even love. Why do we often act like as if we are independent? Especially during good times when we are healthy and wealthy we tend to forget we are even dependant on As-Samad for the strap of our shoe. So remind yourself daily that you are dependent on Him.
3. Call upon Him.
Here’s a beautiful supplication the Prophet salallahu ‘alayhi wa sallam used to make as part of the morning: “يَا حَيُّ يَا قَيُّومُ بِرَحْمَتِكَ أَسْتَغِيثُ أَصْلِحْ لِي شَأْنِي كُلَّهُ وَلَا تَكِلْنِي إِلَى نَفْسِي طَرْفَةَ عَيْنٍ”. O Ever Living One, O Eternal One, by Your mercy I call on You to set right all my affairs. Do not place me in charge of my soul even for the blinking of an eye (i.e. a moment). [Al-Haakim, saheeh] Memorize this dua’ and say it with true desire, fully realizing your dependence on As-Samad!
4. Desire As-Samad. Turn to As-Samad in good and bad times and rely on Him, resting assured He is the Eternal Refuge and the One who will satisfy your needs in the way He knows is best for you. If you truly believe in As-Samad, your strongest desire will be to meet Him and your only fear will be that of His displeasure. So strive to be a real servant of Allah. The disbeliever is a slave of his desires, or of fashion, his belly, and his money. So beg Him to decrease the love for this world in your heart, including love of being praised by people, and replace it with a firm desire for His pleasure alone.
Wallahu ta’alaa ‘alem
O Allah, As-Samad, we know that You are the only Eternal Refuge. Make us realize we need you at all times and aid us to be of those who turn to You only for our needs. Adorn us with a strong desire to please You alone, ameen!
Hawwa (eve), who was created for Adam's left rib, from his back while he was sleeping. When Adam woke up and saw Hawwa, he liked her and had affection for her and shee felt the same towards him and Allah swt bind them in the beautiful relation Husband -Wife. An authentic Hadith states.
"It is authentically reported that when the Prophet ﷺ asked women to attend Salatul Eid, they said, "Oh Messenger of Allah ﷺ! One of us might not have a Jilbab." He ﷺ said, "Let her sister give her one of her Jilbab to wear."
It can be deduced from this Hadith that the women of Sahabah used to wear Jilbabs when going out.
The Messenger of Allah ﷺ did not allow them to go out without a Jilbab, in order to block the means leading to Fitnah, protect them from corruption and purify the hearts of the people, although they lived in the best of centuries, and the men and women were honourable believers.”
Anas ibn Malik (r.a) reported: The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) , said, “The first thing you will lose in your religion is trust, and the final thing you will lose is prayer.”
Hadith on Injustice: Beware of oppression, obscenity, greed, violence
Abu Huraira reported: The Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, said, “Beware of committing injustice, for injustice will be darkness on the Day of Resurrection. Beware of obscenity, for Allah does not love obscenity and immorality. Beware of greed, for it tempted those before you and caused them to make lawful what is unlawful, to shed blood and sever their family ties.”
A quality of a real believer is what he loves for himself, he also loves that for other Muslims.
It was narrated from Anas that, The Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) said: "By the One in Whose hand is the soul of Muhammad, none of you has believed until he loves for his brother what he loves for himself of goodness."
still think the whole idea of 72 virgins in heaven is a funny form of criticism leveled against Islam, because it's not even an authentic hadith, and bro, there are way too many of them, why 72 specifically?
