Advice from a person riding a flying camel

Muhammad bin Mu'az (may Allah have mercy onhim) says that a devout
lady narrated to him the following story: I saw in adream that I was
going toenter Paradise and when Ireached the entrance, I saw that so
many people had assembled there. I asked, "Why have they assembled at
the gate?" Aman replied, "A lady is coming to Paradise and they have
decorated it forher sake; they have come to receive her into the
Paradise." I asked who the lady was, and the man said, "She is
dark-complexioned servant-woman from the Aikah town, called
Sha'wanah." I said, "By Allah! She is my sister." Meanwhile, I saw
that Sha'wanah was coming tous. She was riding a handsome highbred
she-camel, which was flying in the air. I called out her name and
said,"My dear sister, you know that we are related to each other. Make
Du'aa (supplication) to your Lord that He may grant me your
companionship." She smiled and said, "The time has not yet come for
you to join me; but do take a few words of advice from me; make Akhira
(hereafter) your constant worry and take it to your heart; let your
love for Allah overpower all other passions and desires; and do not
botherabout your hour of death that is, be prepared to meet death at
any time." From the book "Fadhail-e-Sadaqaa", translated by Prof.
Abdul Karim.
Each one of us have the capacity to become people of great piety.
However, it takes an effort and sacrifice of our desires. Thus, let us
strive hard to become devoutedMuslims.

Stories of Mullah Nasruddin

One day Nasruddin, while passing by a place, had a few apricots in his
sleeve. He saw some people who were sitting under a tree. Calling them
he asked a question, "if any one of you found out what I have in my
sleeve,I will give the biggest apricot to him." One of them said," If
any one answers this question, he's letting himself in
forprophecy."One winter night while Nasruddin was sleeping he heard a
noise that was suddenly made in the street. Having covered himself
with his blanket, he came out to know thecause of the noise. Suddenly
a smart thief robbed him of his blanket and ran away. He came back
home without the blanket. In reply to his wife who was asking about
the reason for the noise, Nasruddin said, "All the quarrel was about
my blanket."
Nasruddin had a little money. He wanted to hide it some where. At
first he dug a hole, kept the money there and covered it with soil.
Aftera while he thought the money was not safe there because it would
be discovered soon. He dug another hole and kept the money there.
Herepeated this action many times. But he was not sure of its
security. He removed it out of the last hiding-place. He put the money
into a bag and rode on a donkey taking the bag to a hill top near his
house. He fixed a stick vertically in the ground and from it suspended
the bag. Iooking at it from a distance Nasruddin commented, "Human
being is not a bird to come here and steal the bag," He came back
home. Incidentally a man who was watching Nasruddin from a distance
took the moneyfrom the bag and poureddung of camel into it. After a
few days when Nasruddin was in need of cash, he went to find the bag.
When he brought the bag down from the stick, he found dung of a camel
in it. He got surprised and said, "It is very interesting. How could a
camel reachto a place where a person can't?"

* The first Revelation thatcame to the Messenger of Allaah

* do you know the story of the up comming of islam (where he went in to the cave and he could read)if you do the will you please help me. Ifyou can please reply.
Praise be to Allaah.
It is reported in al-Saheehayn from ‘Urwah ibn al-Zubayr that ‘Aa’ishah the wife of the Prophet SAWS (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said:
“The beginning of the Revelation that came to the Messenger of Allaah SAWS (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) was good dreams; he never saw a dream but it came true like bright daylight. Then seclusion was made dear to him, and he used to go to the cave of Hiraa’ and worship there, which means that he went and devoted himself to worship for a number of nights before coming back to his family to collect more provisions, then he would go back again. Then he would go back to Khadeejah to collect more provisions. (This went on) until the truth came to him suddenly when he was in the cave of Hiraa’. The angel came and said, ‘Read!’ The Messenger of Allaah SAWS (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said, ‘I am not a reader.’ He said, Then hetook hold of me and squeezed me until I could not bear it any more then he released me and said, ‘Read!’ I said, ‘I am not a reader.’ He took hold of me and squeezed me a second time until I could not bear it any more, thenhe released me and said, ‘Read!’ I said, ‘I am not a reader.’ He took hold of me and squeezed me a third time until I could not bear it any more, thenhe released me and said,
‘Read! In the Name of your Lord Who has created (all that exists).
He has created man from a clot (a piece of thick coagulated blood).
Read! And your Lord is theMost Generous.
Who has taught (the writing) by the pen.
He has taught man that which he knew not.’
[al-‘Alaq 96:1-5 – interpretation of the meaning]
Then the Messenger of Allaah SAWS (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) went back with his heart beating wildly, until he came to Khadeejah and said, ‘Coverme! Cover me!’ They covered him till his fear went away. Then he said to Khadeejah, ‘O Khadeejah, I fear for myself,’ and he told her what had happened. Khadeejah said, ‘Nay, be of good cheer, for by Allaah, Allaah will never disgrace you. You uphold the ties of kinship, speak truthfully, help the poor and destitute, serve your guests generously and assist those who are stricken by calamity.’
Then Khadeejah took him to Waraqah ibn Nawfal, the son of her paternal uncle. He was a man who had become a Christian during the jaahiliyyah. He used to write Arabic scriptand he used to write fromthe Gospel in Arabic as much as Allaah willed he should write. He was an old man who had becomeblind. Khadeejah said, ‘O son of my uncle, listen to what your nephew says.’ Waraqah said: ‘O son of my brother, what have you seen?’ [The Prophet SAWS (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him)] told him whathe had seen. Waraqah said: ‘This is the Naamoos [Jibreel] who came down to Moosa. Would that I were young and could live until the time when your people will drive youout.’
The Messenger of Allaah SAWS (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said, ‘Will they really drive me out?’ Waraqah said, ‘Yes. Never has there come a man with that which you have brought, but he was persecuted. If I should liveto see that day, I will support you strongly.’ Buta few days later, Waraqahdied, and the Revelation also ceased for a while, until the Messenger of Allaah SAWS (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) was filled with grief.
Muhammad ibn Shihaab said: Abu Salamah ibn ‘Abd al-Rahmaan told me that Jaabir ibn ‘Abd-Allaahal-Ansaari said: “The Messenger of Allaah SAWS(peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said, speaking of that period when the revelation ceased: ‘Whilst I was walking, I heard a voice from the sky. I looked up and saw the angel who had come to me in Hiraa’, sitting on a chair betweenthe heavens and the earth. I felt scared of him, so I came home and said, “Cover me, cover me [withblankets]!” So they did, then Allaah revealed the words:
“O you (Muhammad) enveloped in garments!
Arise and warn!
And magnify your Lord (Allaah)!
And purify your garments!
And keep away from Ar-Rujz (the idols)!”
[al-Muddathir 74:1-5].’”
Abu Salamah said: al-rujz were the idols which the people of the Jaahiliyyah used to worship. Then therevelation came frequently after that.
(Narrated by al-Bukhaari, 4572; Muslim, 231)

* The first prayer in which the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) bowed

* This is my first time to visit this site, and having looked through it, I think it is a brilliant and useful site full of information and answers.
My question is:
What was the first prayer in which the Messenger (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) bowed (rukoo’)?.
Praise be to Allaah.
Firstly:
We are very happy to learn of your visit to our site and that you have benefited from it; we hope that you will continue to benefit.
Secondly:
Some of the scholars havestated that the first prayerin which the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) bowed was ‘Asr prayer following the Isra’ and Mi’raaj (the Prophet’s Night Journey and Ascent into heaven).
Al-Ramli al-Shaafa’i said in Nihaayat al-Muhtaaj (1/396):
Bowing is one of the unique characteristics of this ummah. The first prayer in which the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) bowed was ‘Asr prayer on the day after the Isra’. Al-Suyooti quoted as evidence for that the fact that it is narrated that the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) prayed Zuhr on that day without bowing, and that before that he had prayedthat night in like manner. Were it not that bowing isone of the unique characteristics of this ummah, he would have done it in the prayers thathe offered before the Isra’and in Zuhr prayer of the day after.
There is a hadeeth concerning that which was narrated from the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him), but there is some weakness in it.
Al-Bazzaar and al-Tabaraani (in al-Awsat) narrated that ‘Ali (may Allaah be pleased with him) said: The first prayer in which we bowed was ‘Asr. I said: “O Messenger of Allaah, what is this?” He said: “I was commanded to do it.”
Al-Haythami said in Majma’ al-Zawaa’id (1/293):
This was narrated by al-Bazzaar and by al-Tabaraani in al-Awsat, but its isnaad includes Abu ‘Abd al-Raheem – if he is Khaalid ibn Yazeed, then he is thiqah (trustworthy) and is one of the men of saheeh, andI did not find any other Abu ‘Abd al-Raheem in the men of books apart from him, and I did not find Abu ‘Abd al-Raheem in al-Meezaan, and he is majhool (unknown).
The hadeeth is mentionedin Kanz al-‘Ummaal (21779), where it is suggested that it is weak.
And Allaah knows best.
