Sometimes one meets people one get a long with, or you dislike something in them, and in fewest times they become your enemy. We people are different from each other and some people i get a long with, you might not like at all. Each and every have their own way of thinking and behaviour, either they bring them closer or further away from each other.
Sometimes things one do in one’s life can make people disliking them. Other times their attitude towards life brings them closer to each other.
If some people have ever hurt you some time knowingly or unknowingly in your life, pray to Allah and forgive them. Because no-one can know what the intention of the other person was. There is one hadis where a sahabi was in a war against non-muslims where one of his fellow sahabi was killed. The killer got seized by a sahabi that saw him killing his fellow sahabi and was going to kill him when he said the shahada (embraced Islam). Even though the sahabi heard him say that he believed in the God of Muhammad the sahabi killed him. When this news came to the Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) he approached that particular sahabi whom killed the new muslim and said over and over again that did you see his heart, how could you know if he was saying the truth or not, i.e how could you kill him when you didn`t know. SubhanAllah! Only Allah knows our intentions. Even if someone hurts you, it could be that it wasn`t his / her intention to do that and that it wasn`t on purpose.
The Prophet has said many times that the person whom loves for his brother what he loves for himself has his emaan on the right place. Meaning pray what you want to happen to yourself, that it happens to the whole Ummah, not only you, but everyone. When you do that one of the Angels that are with us humans 24/7 would say ” and you shall have likewise”. SubhanAllah! The Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) taught us to be sincere in our religion, and when we are miraculous things happen. Either we get what we prayed for our we get a substitute that is far better than what we wanted. Allah knows best 
We pray and pray that Allah give me this, give me that, but only Allah knows if that thing or that person is good or bad for us. And as Allah wants, so happens. If it is meant to happen nothing can take it away, and if not, nothing can bring it closer. Be content with what you have. Allah knows what is best for each and every and the best to decide. If Allah has decided something for you, be happy and contended and know it is for the best.
Actually if you love someone and that person is someone else`s don`t use too much energy in making that person’s life miserable. After all if you truly love that person you would actually pray that he / she is happy, you wouldn`t make his /her life more miserable. If you would do that it isn`t love, that is obsession and hate. And where there is obsession and hate there is no room for love.
When we show gratitude to Allah he bestows us with so many blessings that we can`t even imagine. Just keep on praying and being sincerely thankful and so Allah will make your life the most pleasant life ever. Because when we are truly thankful to Allah and that can be seen in our conduct Allah showers even more blessings on us. And voila you ARE happy
It`s not hard, you need to believe that everything happens for a reason. Most of the things that happens to us is pre-decreed. Although we are entitled to change some by what we do in our life, because we have a mind and can differentiate between right and wrong. But Allah knows what we are going to do in every situation of our life, so he has recorded it. Believe me sometimes something happens to us, and we cry to Allah, that why did that happen, and it goes a couple of years and we see why. Yes , because something better was going to happen, and to give you that something better, Allah needed to take something away from you in order to give you something much better.
It`s incredible, but I know now that Allah knows best, and you if you do not know, you will InshaAllah soon find out SubhanAllah! Be happy with what you have and you are of the richest of people. SubhanAllah
One would become a better dai by being a better human being. We can`t call ourselves good muslims by all the backbiting and lying each and every person does. By working on our universal values, we can be better ambassadors for our religion as well. Sometimes in between my work and home i sometimes get the idea that i want to become a dai. Though actually we are dai`s each and every Muslim/Muslimah. Other non-muslims learn or think what Islam is by the muslim people`s conduct. If we are good muslims from our heart and obey the rules and regulations in islam than also the non-muslims will want to become successful as well by converting to Islam. I`m counting in myself in, that I need to learn more about Islam and strive to become a better Muslimah. I have seen that some people neglect what our Prophet has taught us about Ikhlas. If we with the hadis sharif manage to put the ikhlas of our Prophet in conduct than inshaAllah we will see people around us wanting to learn more about Islam and being eager to talk to us about it, because our Prophet has the perfect conduct anyone could ever have, MashaAllah.
When we will portray the true message of what Islam is by our conduct, we would become wonderful human beings and second we would inshaAllah one day become better muslims. Discussion is healthy, but what we need to focus on is ikhlas in every matter, also in discussions, so that the people would want to learn more about our Prophet, whom has taught us this behaviour. If we win all the arguments then the other side might become angry and lose sight of what is right or wrong, because in anger one can`t think right. Though if we are genuinely kind to others like our Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) was kind, in our conduct than that would rub over on our surroundings, be at work or home and they would also inshaAllah want to become a Muslim/Muslimah.
When we read comments of articles or blogs at different islamic sites, we see muslims almost fighting with non-muslims or being very rude when they answer them back, they would think that every Muslim/Muslimah is like that. And because of that they won`t want to become muslims. When we from our conduct give a bad impression of Islam by not following it correctly, people will go away from Islam. What kind of dai`s are we then? The opposite of what we actually should be, don`t you think? I`m not saying that we should be flattering to everyone, i`m saying that we should be genuinely kind like our Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) was.
The conclusion is that we as muslim should learn more about our religion and be sincere in adhering it to our daily lives, so that other non-muslims would inshaAllah admire us and want to adopt our behaviour that we have learned from our Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) into their life. This would push them to learn more about our Prophet Muhammad and Islam. We are dai`s either we want to be it or not, it comes along with the tag Muslim/Muslimah, so let’s do the best of it When it is our responsibility we would also be questioned about it from Allah Subhanatalah on judgement day. So why not make such a wonderful impression that we InshaAllah can achieve jannah in account of it Ameen summa ameen.
In the west it is a common thought by most of the people who women should have the same rights as men. Though Dr. Zakir Naik had a nice lecture about the whole topic, where he said that when women are different from men biologically, physiologically and emotionally than how can they have the same role in society. Only a few yeas ago in the west it was discussed whether women had a soul. Though in Islam it was stated 1300 hundred years ago that women like men are equal and both have a soul and that she has four times higher status in Islam than what men has. Our Prophet (Pbuh) was asked by a Sahabi (companion of the Prophet) whom has the most right on me? The Prophet (pbuh) said three times that your mother has the most right on you, the fourth time he said your father. In Christianity the fault of being thrown out of Paradise was blamed on Eve (Bibi Hawa) and not on Adam (Alehi assalam). Though in Islam they both shared the blame together equally. Women in Islam were given right to have their own property and use it on what they wanted to. Men and women are shepherd’s in a flock and both the women and the men will be responsible for their flock. In Islam the women’s honour is protected, though in the west the women is degraded by being itemized to sell anything and everything in the society. How can one say that she has more rights in the West than what Islam gives her then?
In Ancient time in greek the women were used like sex-objects and the men didn`t even have to marry them, they only owned them for how long they wanted to. Islam gave women right to say no to marriage. In Islam sex is seen as something beautiful though the condition is marriage-contract. In islam the Hubby and wifey are said as to be eachothers clothing. And part of the reason that we have a clothing is to protect us and hide us. The hubby and wifey is also as near to eachother as their garments. SubhanAllah! The right for a supported life was given by this right to women far before when women was almost not seen as a human being. When they had their every month they was seen as something unclean and almost seen as the devil though in Islam Our Prophets Wife Aisha RadhiAllahtalahanhaa used to be with the Prophet when he was praying even at her monthly times when he recited the Quran with his head in her lap.
In ancient times men had a bunch of women without any marriage contract for them at all. Islam put marriage on the paper and men the right to marry four wifes in case there were any widows or orphans that needed support by marriage so they could manage economically and their children have a bright economic future. This was after a war when there were a lot of muslim widows /orphans living without any family to support them.
I believe that women are given so many more rights and their honour is protected by these rights than what the west has managed to do so far or can ever make happen. In Islam women is seen as something one protects and not shown around to everyone, while in the west there are almost naked women on posters every summer to sell everything from a car to some toothpaste. How can we then say that women has more rights in the west than what Islam gives them? We should open our minds and look for the message in Islam for women and men, because it is a wonderful message for every human being.
De fleste har noe kunnskap om rettighetene sine i Islam. Men hvilke rett andre har over dem skaffer de ikke nok informasjon om, for å leve etter. Som feks at menn sier for å plage sin fiance at de skal ha fire koner. Men de tenker ikke på det faktum at ikke et eneste menneske her i verden greier å være rettferdig mellom flere koner. Ingen greier å være som vår Profet Muhammad (pbuh). Men det er ikke derfor mannfolk nevner dette. Det er heller for at de skal prøve å ha overtaket og tåler ikke å bli irrettesatt. Gjør man noe galt må man jo på en eller annen måte få vite det. Men når det samme skjer om og om igjen, da blir nok metoden for irrettesettelsen ikke den fineste.
Det er blitt en trend nå til dags at unge menn sier at de skal ha fire koner, uten å ha noe anelse av hvilken byrde det ville være økonomisk og ikke minst hvor liten tid de hadde hatt for den familien. De kjenner til de rettighetene som gavner dem uten å vite om alle rettightene de har i Islam til sine foreldre, sin kone, sine søstre, og sine brødre og landsmenn. Det er veldig synd at de på denne måten prøver å manipulere det andre mennesket i livet deres, som de egentlig skal være trofast mot i både gode og dårlige dager. Er dette ekte kjærlighet? Kanskje de burde lese om livet til vår profet(pbuh), om hvordan han var mot sine koner, ingen kan oppnå slik fullkommenhet som Han. Ingen menneske greier å være slik rettferdig mot sine koner, som vår Profet (pbuh). En annen sak er det at det er noen land her i Europa hvor det er forbudt med flerkoneri, og Norge er blant de landene. I verste fall kan man få fengselsstraff for slikt. Istedet for å manipulere sin andre halvdel, bør de ikke heller bruke kjærlighet til å vinne hennes gunst? Jeg mener hat avler hat, mer kjærlighet, ja hva kan det gi annet enn mer kjærlighet?
Dersom vi muslimer har mange rettigheter i islam så har også andre mennesker rettigherer over oss. Man kan ikke tenke ensidig i denne framstillingen, for å kunne bli en bra muslim. Som f eks har foreldrene masse rett over barna sine når de blir gamle, samtidig har også barna rett på at foreldrene gir dem tid. Det går begge veier. Man kan ikke gå igjennom hele livet uten å ha lagt tid og arbeid i sine barn og så forvente at barna skal ta seg av dem når de blir godt voksne. Men i islam, dersom barna har nok vett i seg vil de uansett ta godt vare på sine eldre. Det kommer helt an på hvilken type oppvekst de har fått.
Den eneste løsningen på dette her er å lese mer om islam om de viktige personene i vår historie og lære av deres handlinger og deres tenkemåter, om hvordan en skal oppføre seg i ulike situasjoner. Dersom våre eldre generasjon har gjort noen feil i sine liv bør vi i det minste prøve å lære av de feilene, enn å gjøre de samme feilene som dem. Det beste er at for hver generasjon som vokser er at man har framgang og ikke at man tilbakegang.
Our salat is our prayer and sort of our call to our Lord five times daily throughout the day. After the obligatory prayer it is a good thing to pray to your Lord. One should ask our Allah for everything, be it any thing in our life. Allah is our Sustainer and takes care of our needs. One should always also pray for everyone else as the whole Muslim Ummah as well because when ones prayer for ones muslims are answered as an angel at our shoulders say and you shall have likewise. Praying for ones absent muslims reduces the grudges one can have.
After tasbhih ones should praise Allah subhanwuatalah. After that recite drud sharif. And after that prayer for yourself and at the end for your the Ummah. Drud sharif at the end. Our Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) used to pray in sujood as well. That is a very nice way of the prayer InshaAllah being fulfilled.
Another thing is that if your prayer isn`t answered either it’s not made to happen because something better is waiting for you or else it could be that your rizk, clothes or your food is haraam. In that case your prayers aren`t going to be answered.
One should also never stop to supplicate. Because than one is in one way complaining to Allah and then He will think that we are being ungrateful. And He doesn`t like that. Allah likes long prayers and that we ask for everything and that we are consistent in praying.
The whole version: The Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) Said: Gabriel came to me with a clean mirror in his hand and said: ” this is Jumu`ah. God has made it obligatory on you, so that it may be a festival for you and after you for your followers.
The Prophet (PBUH) said: ”What good there is for us in it?” Gabriel answered: You have got an auspicious ( lovende, gunstig) time in it. If someone seeks anything to God at this time, God has promised that He will give it to him. If he is deprived of that additional things are given to him in this connection. If anyone wants to save himself from evil on that day, God saves him from a greater calamity (katastrofe) or a like calamity which has been decreed on him.
I said (Muhammad pbuh) “what is this black dot on it?( The mirror)” He (Gabriel) said ” This is the Hour of the day og jummah which is the best day in our estimation. In the last day we will call it the day of increase. This is because your Lord, High and Exalted has a valley in Paradise which is more redolent than white musk. On the day of Al-Jumu`ah Allah High and Exalted will descend from the illiyyeen unto His Throne. His Throne is then surrounded by pulpits of lights. The Prophets will come and sit on this pulpits. The pulpits will then be surrounded with couches of gold. The truthful servants of Allah and the martyrs will come and sit down on them. Then the dwellers of Paradise will come and sit down on the dunes. Thereafter their Lord will come and show himself to them and they will look at His Countenance while He tells them, `I fulfilled my promise to you and completed my favour upon you. This is the place of My Honour. So ask me for whatever you want. And they will ask Him of His pleasure. Allah will say`it is My pleasure that brought you to my Paradise and made you attain My Honour. So ask me of something else. They will continue to ask him until they will be done with their requests. Then, it will be opened for them – for as long as it takes people to leave the mosque on the day of jumu`ah – what no eye has ever seen no ear has ever heard and no heart ever imagined. Allah will then ascend onto His Throne, and the martyrs and the truthful servants will ascend with him. The inhabitants of the chambers will then return to their flawless pearly and white chambers or to their chambers of rubies or green chrysolite whose rivers flow perennially and whose fruits hang in pairs.They the dwellers of Paradise shall be in need of nothing greater than the day of Al-Jumu`ah so they can have more Honour and have more opportunity to look at the Countenance of their Lord, High and Exalted. That is why the day will be called the day of increase.
(recorded by ibn Abid-dunya and At-tabararni in Al-Mujam Al-Awsat; the narration is graded Hasan in view of other corroborating narrations).
