*- WHAT ISLAM SAYS -* - Islam is a religion of Mercy, Peace and Blessing. Its teachings emphasize kind hear tedness, help, sympathy, forgiveness, sacrifice, love and care.Qur’an, the Shari’ah and the life of our beloved Prophet (SAW) mirrors this attribute, and it should be reflected in the conduct of a Momin.Islam appreciates those who are kind to their fellow being,and dislikes them who are hard hearted, curt, and hypocrite.Recall that historical moment, when Prophet (SAW) entered Makkah as a conqueror. There was before him a multitude of surrendered enemies, former oppressors and persecutors, who had evicted the Muslims from their homes, deprived them of their belongings, humiliated and intimidated Prophet (SAW) hatched schemes for his murder and tortured and killed his companions. But Prophet (SAW) displayed his usual magnanimity, generosity, and kind heartedness by forgiving all of them and declaring general amnesty...Subhanallah. May Allah help us tailor our life according to the teachings of Islam. (Aameen)./-

Story of Amr B.’Abasa (Radhi Allaahu Anhu) embracing Islam

'Amr b. 'Abasa Sulami reported: I in the state ofthe Ignorance (before
embracing Islam) used to think that the people were in error and they
were not on anything (which may be called theright path) and
worshipped the idols. In the meanwhile I heard of a man in Mecca who
was giving news (on the basis of his prophetic knowledge) ; so I sat
on my ride and went to him. The Messenger of Allah (may peace be upon
him) was at that time hiding as his people had made life hard for him.
I adopted a friendly attitude (towards the Meccans and thus managed)
to enter Mecca and go to him (the Holy Prophet) and
I said to him: Who are you? He said: I am a Prophet (of Allah) .
I again said: Who is a Prophet? He said: (I am a Prophet in the sense
that) I have been sent byAllah .
I said: What is that whichyou have been sent with? He said: I have
been sent to join ties of relationship (with kindness and affection),
to break the Idols, and to proclaim the oneness of Allah (in a manner
that) nothing is to be associated with Him.
I said: Who is with you inthis (in these beliefs and practices)? He
said: A freeman and a slave. He (the narrator) said: Abu Bakr and
Bilal were there with him among those who had embraced Islam by that
time.
I said: I intend to follow you . He said: During these days you would
not be able to do so. Don't you see the (hard) condition under which I
and (my) people are living? You better go back to your people and when
you hear that I have been granted victory, you come to me.
So I went to my family. I was in my home when the Messenger of Allah
(may peace be upon him) came to Medina. I was among my people and used
to seek news and ask people when he arrived in Medina. Then a group of
people belonging to Yathrib (Medina) came. I said (to them): How is
that person getting on who has come to Medina? They said: The people
are hastening to him, while his people (the polytheists of Mecca)
planned to kill him, but they could not do so. I (on hearing It) came
to Medina and went to him and said: Messenger of Allah, do you
recognise me? He said: Yes, you arethe same man who met me at Mecca. I
said: It is so.
I again said: Prophet of Allah, tell me that which Allah has taught
you andwhich I do not know, tellme about the prayer .
He said: Observe the dawn prayer, then stop praying when the sun is
rising till it Is fully up, forwhen it rises it comes upbetween the
horns of Satan, and the unbelievers prostrate themselves to it at that
time. Then pray, for the prayer is witnessed and attended (by angels)
till the shadow becomes about the length of a lance; then cease
prayer,for at that time Hell is heated up. Then when the shadow moves
forward, pray, for the prayer is witnessed and attended by angels,
till you pray the afternoon prayer, then cease prayer till the sun
sets, for it sets between the horns of devil, and at that time the
unbelievers prostrate themselves before it.
I said: Apostle of Allah, tell me about ablution also .
He said: None of you who uses water for ablution and rinses his mouth,
snuffs up water and blows it, but the sinsof his face, and his mouth
and his nostrils fall out. When he washeshis face, as Allah has
commanded him, the sins of his face fall out from the end of his beard
with water. Then (when) he washes his forearms up to the elbows, the
sins of his arms fall out along with water from his finger-tips. And
when he wipes his head, the sins of his head fall out from the points
of his hair along with water. And (when) he washes his feet up to the
ankles, the sins of hisfeet fall out from his toesalong with water.
And if he stands to pray and praises Allah, lauds Him and glorifies
Him with what becomes Him and shows wholehearted devotion to Allah,
his sins would depart leaving him (as innocent) as he was on the day
his mother bore him.
'Amr b. 'Abasa narrated this hadith to Abu Umama, a Companion of the
Messenger of Allah (may peace be upon him), and Abu Umama said to him:
'Amr b. 'Abasa, think what you are saying that such (a great reward)
is given toa man at one place (only in the act of ablution and
prayer). Upon this 'Amr said: Abu Umama, I have grown old and my bones
have become weak and I am at the door of death; what impetus is there
for me to attribute a lie to Allah and the Messenger of Allah (may
peace be upon him)? Had I heard it from the Messenger of Allah (may
peace be upon him) once, twice, or three times (even seven times), I
would have never narrated it, but I have heard it from him on
occasions more than these. - - ▓███▓ Translator:->

Story of Three persons blocked in a Cave – Story from Hadith

Imams Bukhari and Muslim reported that the Messenger sallallahu
`alayhi wa sallam said:
"Three persons of a people before you, were on a journey when they
were overtaken by a storm and therefore theytook shelter in a cave. A
rock slipped down from the mountain and blocked the exit from cave.
One of them said: "The only way for deliverance left is to beseech
Allah in the name of some virtuous deed." Thereupon one of them
supplicated, "O Lord, my parents were very old, I used to offer them
their nightly drink of milk before my children and the other members
of thefamily. One day I went astray far away in search of green trees
and could return only after my parent had gone to sleep. When I had
milked the animals and brought their nightly drink to them, They were
fast asleep, but I did not like to disturb them, nor would give any
part of the milk to my children and other members of the family till
after my parents had their drink. Thus, with the vessel in hand, I
awaited their awakening till the flush of dawn, While the children
cried out of hunger at my feet. When they woke up, they had their
drink. O Lord, if I did this thing seeking only your pleasure, then do
relieve us of the distress wrought upon usby this rock." Thereupon,The
rock moved a little but that not enough to let them pass out.
Then the second man supplicated: "O Lord, I had a cousin whom I loved
her more passionately than any loves a woman. I tried to seduce her
but she would have none of me, till in a season of great hardship due
to famine, she approached me (for help) and I gave her one hundred and
twenty Dinars on condition that she would have sexual intercourse with
me. She agreed, and when we got together and I was just going to have
intercourse with her, she pleaded: 'Fear Allah, and do not break the
seal unlawfully'; whereupon Imoved away from her, despite the fact
that I desired her most passionately; and I let herkeep the money I
had given her. O Lord, if I did this thing seeking only your pleasure,
then do move the distress in which we find ourselves." Again the rock
moved a little but not enough to let them pass out.
Then the third supplicated: "O Lord, I hired some laborers and paid
them their dues, butone of them left leaving behind what was due to
him. I invested it in business and the business prospered greatly."
After a time the laborer came Back and said: 'O servant of Allah, hand
over to me my wages.' I said to him: 'All that you see is yours –
camels, cattle, goats and slaves.' He said: 'Don't play joke with me,
O servant of Allah.' I assured him: 'I am mot joking.' So he took all
of it sparing nothing. O Lord, If I did this seeking only for your
pleasure, do relieve us of our distress."
The rock then moved away, and all the three came out of the cave safeand sound.

A Beautiful Hadith

NEVER DELETE A HADITH FROM PROPHET MUHAMMED (P.B.U.H) without reading first..
A Beautiful Hadith
Rasulullah (Sallallahu alaihe wasallam) said:'When a man dies and his
relatives are busy in funeral, there stands an extremely handsome man
by his head. When the dead body is shrouded, thatman gets in between
the shroud and the chest of the deceased.
When after the burial, the people return home, 2 angels, Munkar and
Nakeer(names of two special Angels), come in the grave and try to
separate this handsome man so that they may be able to interrogate the
dead man in privacy about his faith. But thehandsome man says, 'He is
my companion, he is my friend. I will not leave him alone in any case.
If you are appointed for interrogation, do yourjob. I cannot leave
himuntil I get him admitted into Paradise '.
Thereafter he turns to his dead companion and says, 'I am the Qur'an,
which you used to read, sometimes in a loud voice and sometimes in a
low voice. Do not worry. After the interrogation of Munkar and Naker,
you will have no grief.'
When the interrogation is over, the handsome man arranges for him from
Al-Mala'ul A'laa (the angels in Heaven) silk bedding filled with musk.
Rasulullah (Sallallahu alaihe wasallam) said:'On the Day of Judgement,
before Allah, no other Intercessor will have agreater status than the
Qur'an, neither a Prophet nor an angel.'

Fathwa, - • Marriage and Engagement • How Can I Become Acquainted to the Woman I am Proposing to?

Question:
When I go to propose to a young woman, how may I speak to her, in
order to know her beliefs, her piety, her character and her manners?
And is it permissable for me to sitwith her?
Answer:
It is permissable for the suitor to look at the woman to whom he is
proposing, but without being alone with her, because the Sunnah has
been authentically reported from the Prophet (sallallaahu alahi
wasalam) to that effect. He may ask her and her guardian about what is
important to himregarding matters related to marriage. - - ▓███▓

Fathwa, - • Marriage and Engagement • A Father Forcing His Daughter to marry is Forbidden

Question:
I have a sister from my father and he gave her in marriage to a man
without asking her opinion when she was twenty-one years of age.The
witnesses testified falsely in the marriage contract, saying that she
agreed, and her mother signed the marriage document on her behalf.In
this way, the marriagewas completed, while she still rejected it. What
is the ruling on this contract and the false witness (therein)?
Answer:
If this sister was a virgin and her father forced her to marry this
man, some of the scholars hold that the marriage isvalid. They hold
the viewthat the father may forcehis daughter to marry a man whom she
does not want, if he is suitable.
But the strongest opinion in this matter is that it is not permissible
for the father, or anyoneelse, to force a girl to marry someone she
doesnot want to, even if he issuitable. This is because the Prophet
Sallalaahu alaihi wa sallam said:
"The virgin must not be given in marriage until her permission has
been sought." Al-Bukhari no.5136 and Muslim no. 1419
This is general, so no guardian is excepted from it. In fact, it has
been reported in Sahih Muslim:
"The father must seek the virgin's permission." Muslim no.1421.
So the virgin and the father have been specified. This is specified in
cases of disagreement, and so it must be acted upon. Based upon this,
a man'scompelling his daughter to marry a man whom she does not want
to marry is forbidden.
The Lawgiver (i.e. Allaah)has prohibited it, so He does not want the
(Muslim) community to be involved in it, nor to practice it. And if we
declare it to be valid, it means that we are involved in it, and we
are practicing it, and giving it the status of those contracts which
the Lawgiver has permitted. This is something that cannot be.
Therefore, the strongest opinion is that your father giving his
daughter in marriage to a man whom she does not want, is an unlawful
marriage, and the contract is unlawful. So it must be examined by the
Court.
As for one who supplies false witness, he has committed a major sin,
as confirmed by the Prophet Sallalaahu alaihiwa sallam who said:
"Shall I not inform you of the greatest sins?" At-Tirmidhi no. 2301.
And he mentioned them while he was reclining, then he sat up and said:
"And I warn you against false speech, and I warn you against false
speech.Rather: False testimony." Al-Bukhari no.2654 and Muslim no.87.
- and he continued to repeat it, until we wished that he would besilent.
So these false testifiers must turn to Allaah in repentance and
retract their testimony. Likewisethe mother, since she signed on
behalf of her daughter untruthfully, she has sinned by that, and she
must turn in repentance to Allaah andshe must not do such a thing
again. - - ▓███▓ Translator:-> http://translate.google.com/m/

Fathwa, - • Marriage and Engagement • The Ruling in DivulgingMarital Secrets

Question:
Some women are overcome by the urge tocommunicate what is said in the
house and their marital life to their relatives and friends. Some of
what is said is secret, and the husband does not want anyone else to
know it. What is the ruling on women who divulge these secrets and
communicate them to those outside the house, or to some members of the
household?
Answer:
The practice, as some women do, of communicating what is said in the
house, and communicating details about their marital life to relatives
and friends, is a forbidden thing. It is not permissible for a woman
to divulge the secrets of her house or her affairs with her husband to
any person. Allaah, The Most High says:
"Therefore the righteouswomen are devoutly obedient (to Allaah and to
their husbands), and guard in the husband's absence what Allaah orders
them to guard (e.g. their chastity and their husband's property)"
An-Nisa' 4:34
- and the prophet Sallalaahu alaihi wa sallam informed us that the
worst of people in rank before Allaah on the Day of Resurrection will
be a man who has sexual intercourse with his wife and she with him,
then he communicates her secrets.

The healing of honey

More than 1,400 years ago, Allaah All-Mighty told us through His
Messenger that honey can heal a variety of medical problems.
Honey is a remarkable viscous liquid, prepared by bees from nectars of
various plants. It has occupied a prominent place in traditional
medicines throughout history. The ancient Egyptians, Assyrians,
Chinese, Greeks and Romans employed honey for different diseases.
The Noble Quran and many Prophetic narrations refer to honeyas a great
healer of disease.
Allaah, Almighty, Says (what means): "And your Lord inspired the bee,
saying: 'Take you habitations in the mountains and in the trees and in
what they erect. Then, eat of all fruits, and follow the ways of your
Lord made easy (for you).' There comes forth from their bellies, a
drink of varyingcolor wherein is healing for men. Verily, in this is
indeed a sign for people who think." [Quran; 16: 68-69]
Abu Sa'eed Al-Khudri related that a man came to the Prophet and said:
"My brother has some abdominal trouble." The Prophet said to him "Let
him drinkhoney." The man returned to the Prophet and said: "O
Messengerof Allaah! I let him drink honey, but it caused him more
pain." The Prophet said to him: "Go and let him drink honey!" Theman
went and let his brother drink honey, then returned back and said: "O
Messenger of Allaah, it did not cause him except more pains." The
Prophet then said: "Allaah has said the truth, but your brother's
abdomen has told a lie. Let him drink honey." So he made him drink
honey and he was cured. [Al-Bukhaari and Muslim]
The Prophet also said:"Make use of the two remedies: honey and the
Quran." [At-Tirmithi, Ibn Maajah and Al-Bayhaqi] Modern medicine is
only just learning of this fact.
Benefits of honey:
1. Alleviates inflammation of cornea ifused locally on the eye.
2. An antibiotic if used locally in situations of wounds and
burns, and itis used for healing of wounds:
· In case of wounds, honey absorbs moisture from the air, facilitates
healing process and prevents scarring. This is because honey
stimulatesthe growth of epithelial cells that form the new skin cover.
In this way, honey may eliminate the need for tissue transplantation.
· Honey stimulates the re-growth of tissue involved in the healing
process. It stimulates the formation of new blood capillaries and the
growth of fibroblasts that replace the connective tissue of the deeper
layer of the skin and produce the collagenfibers that give strength to
the repair.
· Honey has an anti-inflammatory action,which reduces the swelling
around a wound. This improves circulation and thus hastens the healing
process.
· Honey does not stick to the underlying wound tissues, so there is no
tearing away of newly formed tissue, and no pain, when dressings are
changed.
· Thanks to its antimicrobial property, honey provides a protective
barrier to prevent wounds becoming infected. It also rapidly clears
any existing infection from wounds. It is fully effective, even with
antibiotic-resistant strains of bacteria.
· Some studies showed that honey is a good treatment against the
hospital infection bacteria "superbugs" (MRSA.)
3. As honey does not accommodate bacteria, this bactericide
(bacteria-killing) property of honey is named "the inhibition effect."
There are various reasons of this anti-microbial property of the
honey. Some examples are: the high sugar content that limits the
amount of water microorganisms need for growth, its high acidity (low
pH) and composition which deprive bacteria from nitrogen necessary for
reproduction. The existence of hydrogen peroxide as well as
antioxidants in the honeyprevent bacteria growth.
4. Antioxidant: Those are the components in cells that get rid of
harmful byproducts of normal metabolic functions. These
elementsinhibit destructive chemical reactions that cause spoilage of
food and many chronic illnesses. Researchers believe food products
rich in antioxidants may prevent heart problems and cancer. Strong
antioxidants are present in honey: Pinocembrin, pinobaxin, chrisin and
galagin. Pinocembrin is an antioxidant that merely exists in the
honey.
5. A treatment for gastric and duodenal ulcers, as honey
decreases the secretion of hydrochloric acid to a normal rate, thus
helpingto heal such ulcers and alleviate the related pains and reduce
resultant cases of vomiting and colic. For the treatment to be
effective, honey should be taken dissolved in warm water one or two
hours before meals.
6. A treatment for involuntary urination at beds. So, if the
child is given one small spoon of honey before sleeping, this will
have a positive effect, as honey is sedative for the nervous system,
thus helping the cyst to relax and expand during sleep.
7. It supports blood formation: Honey provides an important part
of the energy needed by the body for blood formation. It helps in
cleansing the blood. It has some positive effects in regulating and
facilitating blood circulation. It also functions as a protection
against capillary problems and arteriosclerosis.
8. A treatment for colds, flu and pharyngitis.
9. A treatment for cases of chronic hepatitis,as honey increases
the liver stock of the glycogen material through the increase of blood
glucose, thus helping the liver to function properly and relieve it
from more burdens.
10. A treatment for insomnia and a sedative for nerves, as it contains
some sedative and tonic substances as sodium andpotassium at a
reasonable rate such.
11. A treatment for alcoholic poisoning. Fructose and vitamin B group
in the honey help oxidize the alcohol remaining in the body.
12. A treatment for cough.
13. In cosmetics, a mixture of honey with lemon and glycerin is
considered of the best old medical prescription for the treatment of
skin cracking and roughness, the inflammation and wounds of lips, sun
stroke, and dermal pigments.
14. A treatment for muscular spasm of sportive exercises or facial
spasms and eyelids muscles, which disappearafter having one big spoon
of honey for three days after each meal.
15. Has a low calorie level. When it is compared with the same amount
of sugar, it gives 40% less calories to the body. Although it gives
great energy to the body,it does not add weight. Furthermore, the use
of honey is safe and has no allergic or side effects.
The Prophet was right in his prescription for theailing man. When the
fourth treatment of honey was given to the man, he got better. Such is
part of the knowledge that the Almighty has revealed to His Prophet .

How Do You Face Good and Bad Times?

The more one ponders over the apparent and hidden favours from Allaah
The Almighty uponhim, the more he will realise that his Lord has
granted him abundant blessings and protected him from a number of
evils; this will certainly remove grief and anxietyand bring happiness
and contentment.Thus, take heed of the advice of the Prophet when he
said: "Look to those who are lower than you (i.e., those who possess
less than you) and do not look to those higher thanyou; this will make
you appreciate the bounties of Allaah upon you." [Al-Bukhaari and
Muslim]
Such people get the support and assistance ofAllaah The Almighty which
makes fear vanish,as Allaah The Almighty Says (what means): {"Be
patient. Surely, Allaah is with those who are the patient."} [Quran,
8: 46]
The virtuous and the sinful, and the believer and the disbeliever are
the same when it comes to conditioning oneself to becoming brave,
which is the natural ability to calm oneself during moments of terror.
Due to the believer's strong faith, perseverance and reliance on
Allaah The Almighty, he emerges stronger than others in difficult
situations and this reduces his fear and anxiety and ultimately makes
matters easy for him. As Allaah The Almighty Says (what means): {"And
don't be weak in the pursuit of the enemy; if you are suffering
(hardships) then surely, they (too) are suffering (hardships) as you
are suffering, but you have a hope from Allaah (for the reward, i.e.
Paradise) that for which they hope not}." [Quran, 4: 104]
However, the one who is devoid of strong faith will be the opposite;
he becomes anxious, nervous, confused and full of fear; indeed his
anxiety and paranoia team up against him. If this type of person does
not possess the worldly means to tackle his fear and affliction, then
he will collapse because he does not possess the faithwhich would
enable him to persevere during tough times.
Another example of this is when certain frightening or
disturbingevents occur, such as emergencies or accidents. One finds
that a person with sound faith is calm, steadfast, and able to cope
with thesituation and handle the hardship he is going through; such a
person has conditioned himself to receiving such afflictions and this
makeshis heart stronger and more steadfast, which gives him
tranquillity.
These examples show thegreat difference betweena person who has strong
belief and acts accordingly, and another who is not at this level of
faith. Due to the strong belief of the true believerand his
contentment with whatever Allaah TheAlmighty has decreed, if he is
afflicted with sickness, poverty or any other affliction, he is
tranquil and content and has no desire for anything which has not been
decreed for him. Instead, he looks at thoseless fortunate than him
rather than those who are more fortunate and by doing so he becomes
happier, even more than one who is discontent despite possessing all
theriches of this world.
Many people receive affliction with fear, discontent, sorrow and
despair; their life becomes miserable, they panic and become short
tempered. Such a person fails to think about the reward that he should
behoping for, nor does he exercise patience that would bring about
contentment and thus make life easier for him.
There can be several reasons for this state of mind: the fear of
losing the things one desires and cherishes or the greed to acquire
more of the same, because man will never reach a point where he is
fully satisfiedin life.
Different people can have completely differentreactions when something
good or bad befalls them, and their reactions depend on the strength
of their belief and the extent of their righteous actions. One person
may receive goodness with gratitude and evil with perseverance, which
brings him peace of mindand happiness, causing his grief, anxiety and
misery to disappear. Thus, this becomes a cause of positivity in his
life. The second person receives goodness with arrogance and
transgression; his manners degenerate andbecome evil; he receives this
goodness and utilisesit in an unthinking manner; it does not give him
any peace of mind and his mind is always restless and agitated.
The Prophet said: "How wonderful is the affair of the believer! All of
his affairs are good and this is the case for nobody except a
believer. If he is blessed with prosperity he thanks (Allaah) and that
is good for him; and if heis afflicted with adversity he perseveres
and that is also good for him." [Muslim] - - ▓███▓ Translator:->

Parents: Precious Blessings in our Life

Allaah The Almighty has made our parents the means of giving us life
and made them the source of providing us with unparalleled love and a
sound upbringing. However, when we growup, we tend to forget theperiod
of our infancy andchildhood and disregard their efforts. What
ingratitude can be worsethan this?
The very least we can do for our parents is to show goodness and kind
treatment towards them while they are alive, and supplicate for them,
offercharity and other righteous deeds on their behalf after their
death.
Allaah The Almighty mentions the virtues of being good to one's
parents in conjunction with worshipping Him alone when He Says (what
means): {"And yourLord has decreed that you worship none but Him. And
that you are dutiful to your parents. If one of them or both of them
attain old age in your life, say not to them a word of disrespect, nor
shout at them but address them in terms of honour.And lower unto them
the wing of submission and humility through mercy, and say: `My Lord!
Bestow on them Your Mercy as they did bring me up when I was young.'"}
[Quran, 17: 23-24].
The Prophet classified being undutiful to parents as one of the great
major sins and mentioned it along with associating partners withAllaah
The Almighty in Hisworship. He said: "Shall I not inform you about the
most grievous of the grave sins?" His Companions replied, "Indeed, O
Messenger of Allaah!" He said: "Associating anything with Allaah (in
worship), and being undutiful to parents, (he was reclining at that
time, then he sat up and said): (beware of) false testimony or false
utterance." He repeated itso many times that his Companions wished
that he would become silent. [Al-Bukhaari and Muslim].
A man came to the Prophet and asked, "Which of the people is most
deserving of my good companionship?" He replied: "It is your mother."
The man asked, "Who is next?" He replied: "It is your mother." The man
then asked, "Who is next?" He replied: "It is your mother." Then the
man asked, "Who is next?" TheProphet replied: "It is your father."
[Al-Bukhaari].
Abu Hurayrah narrated that the Prophet said: "Let him be humiliated!
Let him behumiliated! Let him be humiliated!" It was asked, "Who, O
Messenger of Allaah?" He replied: "Hewhose parents reach old age,
either one or both of them, and who does not enter Paradise (due to
not being dutiful to them)." [Muslim]
Dutifulness to parents is one of the reasons behind the forgiveness
ofsins. Ibn 'Umar both, said that a man came to the Prophet and said,
"I have committed a great sin, can I repent from it?" The Prophet
asked: "Is your mother alive?" and in another narration he asked: "Are
you parents alive?" The man replied, "No" so the Prophet asked: "Do
you have a maternal aunt?" The man replied, "Yes" Thereupon, the
Prophet said: "Then bedutiful to her." [At-Tirmithi].
'Ali ibn Abi Taalib said, "If there was anything less than this
expression (i.e., saying 'Uff' to one's parents) as a form of being
undutiful, Allaah would have forbidden that expression." Allaah The
Almighty also mentions gratefulness to Him along with being grateful
to one's parents when He says (what means): "Give thanks to Me and to
your parents. Unto Me is the final destination." [Quran, 31: 14]
These narrations inspire you to be dutiful to your parents and respect
and glorify them. Do not be negligent of the saying of the Prophet :
"The pleasure of the Lord is in pleasing your parents, and the wrath
of the Lord (upon the child) is if he makes them angry."
[At-Tabaraani].

Sincerity - Intention to do good deeds.

What should one's intention be while commiting a good deed?Should one
commit a good deed for the sake of Allah and the Holy Prophet , should
one commit his good deed for the sake of Allah and out of love of the
Holy Prophet or his Sunnah, or should one commit a good deed for the
sake of Allah alone?.
Praise be to Allaah.
When doing acts of worship, they should be done sincerely and purely
for the sake of Allaah alone, as Allaah says (interpretation of the
meaning):
"And they were commanded not, but that they should worshipAllaah, and
worship none but Him Alone (abstaining from ascribing partners to
Him), and perform As‑Salaah (Iqaamat‑as‑Salaah) andgive Zakaah, and
that is the right religion"
[al-Bayyinah 98:5]
"And who has (in mind) no favour from anyone to be paid back,
Except to seek the Countenance of his Lord,the Most High"
[al-Layl 92:19-20]
And the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said:
"Allaah does not accept any deed except that which is done only for
Him and to seek His Countenance."
Narrated by al-Nasaa'i, 3140; classed as saheeh by al-Albaani in
al-Silsilah al-Saheehah, 52.
Think about what Allaah says (interpretation of the meaning):
"Would that they were contented with what Allaah and His Messengergave
them and had said: "Allaah is Sufficient for us. Allaah will give us
of His Bounty, and so will His Messenger (from alms). We implore
Allaah (to enrich us)"
[al-Tawbah 9:59]
Note how this verse ascribes the giving to Allaah and His Messenger,
and sufficiency to Allaah alone. The verse does not say "Allaah and
His Messenger are sufficient for us". And it describes the imploring
as being to Allaah alone, as He said, "We implore Allaah", and does
not say"we implore Allaah and His Messenger." This is like the verse
in which Allaah says (interpretation of the meaning):
"So when you have finished (your occupation), devote yourself for
Allaah's worship.
And to your Lord (Alone) turn (all your) intentionsand hopes"
[al-Inshiraah 94:7-8]
See Zaad al-Ma'aad, 1/36
So worship should be devoted to Allaah alone; it is not permissible to
do any act of worship with the intention of drawing closer to any
created being.
With regard to loving the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be
upon him), that means following him and venerating him, not by
worshipping him.
Worship can only be acceptable to Allaah if it meets two conditions:
1 – It is done sincerely for Allaah alone
2 – It follows the Sunnahof Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be
upon him) and is in accordance with his sharee'ah.
These two conditions are indicated by the verse in which Allaah says
(interpretation of the meaning):
"So whoever hopes for the Meeting with his Lord, let him work
righteousness and associate none as a partner in the worship of his
Lord"
[al-Kahf 18:110]
Ibn Katheer (may Allaah have mercy on him) said:" 'Let him work
righteousness' means, that which is in accordance with the laws of
Allaah. 'And associate none as a partner in the worship of his Lord'
means, worship in which he seeks the Countenance of Allaah alone, with
no partner or associate.' These are the basis of acceptable deeds: it
must be sincerely for thesake of Allaah alone, andcorrect according to
the sharee'ah of the Messenger of Allaah (peace and blessings of
Allaah be upon him)."
So when you worship you must seek the Countenance of Allaah alone, and
strive to follow the Sunnah of theProphet (peace and blessings of
Allaah be upon him). We ask Allaah to help us to do righteous deeds.
And Allaah knows best. - - ▓███▓ Translator:->

Sincerity - She stipulated that in order to marry her he has to memorize Soorat al-Baqarah or Aal ‘Imraan or take her for Hajj.

I want to know can memorization of Holy Quran or part of it be made
into a condition for marriage as one sister(she is a Hafiz) has put
this condition out to me to either memorize Surah al-Baqarah or Surah
ale-Imraan and her third option was Hajjafter nikah. I can pick either
of the three. If I pick one of the first two what bothers me then is I
wouldn't be doing it for Allah swt it would be exclusively to gain her
hand. Please explain if this is allowed or not.
Praise be to Allaah.
If you want to marry her because she is religiously committed and you
agree to the condition, seeking thereby the pleasure of Allah and to
achieve this aim, and to marry someone who will help you to obey Allah
and you can help her, then there is nothing wrong with that and this
is partof striving for the Hereafter. Allah says (interpretation of
the meaning):
"And whoever desires the Hereafter and strivesfor it, with the
necessaryeffort due for it (i.e. does righteous deeds of Allaah's
obedience) while he is a believer (in the Oneness of Allaah Islâmic
Monotheism) — then such are the ones whose striving shall be
appreciated, (thanked and rewarded by Allaah)"
[al-Isra' 17:19].
Al-Nasaa'i (3340) narrated that Anas (may Allah be pleased with him)
said: Abu Talhah married Umm Sulaym and the dowry between them was
Islam; Umm Sulaym became Muslim before Abu Talhah. He proposed to her
and she said: I have become Muslim; if you become Muslim I will marry
you. So he became Muslim, and that was the dowry between them. Classed
as saheeh by al-Albaani in Saheeh al-Nasaa'i.
So strive to memorise the Holy Qur'aan as an act of worship and
obedience towards Allah, and seeking His reward and His pleasure.There
is no reason not tolet the request of this sister be what motivates
you to do this act of worship, because it is not contrary to
sincerity.This is like those who enter some religious competitions and
let that a motive to memorise the Holy Qur'aan. So there is nothing
wrong with thatand it is not contrary to sincerity.
The scholars of the Standing Committee for Issuing Fatwas were asked:
Taking part in religious competitions that offer cash prizes: are
these prizes halaal orharaam?
They replied: There is nothing wrong with accepting the prizes thatare
donated by people in authority or other doers of good, because that is
encouragement to acquire knowledge and memorise the Book of Allah, may
He be glorified and exalted. In these and similar matters, the
believer should be sincere towards Allah and be happy to have
something that helps him in that, and his motivation should not be
only to get the money. End quote.

Sincerity - Is exaggerating in beautifying the voice when leading people in prayer regarded as showing off?.

Sometimes when i lead the prayer and i try to make my voice good while
reciting quran . and after the prayer i feel that i did exagrate are
sho offed. but i say to my self that this is prophet Muuhammed9sallahu
alaihai wasallam) hadiththat to make voice good.and i dont knwo what
should i do .
Praise be to Allaah.
Firstly:
Beautifying the voice when reciting Qur'aan is something mustahabb
that is encouraged in many texts, such as the words of the Prophet
(blessings and peace of Allah be upon him): "Adorn the Qur'aan with
your voices." Narrated by al-Nasaa'i, 1015; Abu Dawood, 1468; classed
assaheeh by al-Albaani.
Al-Sindi said:
i.e., make your voices beautiful when reciting, because beautiful
wordsbecome even more beautiful when recited in a beautiful voice, and
this is something well known.
End quote from Haashiyat Sunan al-Nasaa'i, 2/179
Al-Munaawi said:
By doing it in a beautifulvoice and doing it well, this encourages
people to listen to it and ponderit.
End quote from Fayd al-Qadeer, 4/90.
Being keen to beautify one's voice when reciting Qur'aan is something
that is prescribed in Islam, and it is not regarded as blameworthy
effort or showing off.
This is indicated by the report narrated from Abu Moosa al-Ash'ari
(may Allah be pleased with him) who said: The Messenger of Allah
(blessings and peace of Allah be upon him) listened to my recitation
at night. The next morning he said: O Abu Moosa, I listened to your
recitation last night; you have been given a beautiful voice like the
beautiful voice of Dawood." I said: O Messenger of Allah, if I had
known you were there, I would have made it more beautiful?
Narrated by al-Nasaa'i inal-Sunan al-Kubra, 7/273; Ibn Hibbaan in
hisSaheeh, 16/169; al-Bayhaqi in his Sunan, 3/12; classed as saheeh by
al-Albaani (3532).
Al-Haafiz Ibn Katheer said: This indicates that it is permissible to
put extra effort into beautifying one's voice. Abu Moosa had been
given a beautiful voice along with perfect focus,and the gentleness of
the people of Yemen. This indicates that this is something that is
acceptable in sharee'ah.
End quote from Tafseer Ibn Katheer, 1/63.
Shaykh Muhammad ibn Saalih al-'Uthaymeen (may Allah have mercy on him) said:
This indicates that if a person makes his voice beautiful when
reciting Qur'aan so that the listener may enjoy it andfeel happy when
hearing it, there is nothing wrong with thatand it is not regarded as
showing off. Rather this encourages people to listen to the word of
Allah, may He be glorified and exalted, so that the people will feel
happy to hear it.
End quote from Sharh Riyadh al-Saaliheen, 4/662
Al-Haafiz said in al-Fath (9/63):
There is no doubt that people are more inclined to listen to
recitation if it is done in a melodious voice than to listen to one
who does not have a melodious voice, because the melodious voice is
more effective insoftening the heart and bringing tears.
What may be understood from the evidence is that beautifying the voice
when reciting Qur'aan is something desirable; if aperson's voice is
not beautiful than he shouldbeautify it as much as hecan, as Ibn Abi
Mulaykah said. End quote.
And he said: Ibn Abi Dawood narrated via IbnAbi Musji'ah who said:
'Umar used to give precedence to a young man with a beautiful voice
because of his beautiful voice (to lead people in prayer).
End quote from Fath al-Baari, 9/80
Secondly:
If your intention by beautifying the voice is to achieve the
hoped-foraims of sharee'ah, such as obtaining proper focus and
humility in theheart and making the eye weep, or to move the people
when listening to the Qur'aan, this is something that is prescribed in
Islam and is encouraged, and it cannot be regarded as showing off at
all.
But if your aim in doing that is to show how beautiful your voice is
and how good your recitation is so that people will praise you for it,
then this is a kind of showing off and you have to strive against
these thoughts so that your action will be sincerely for the sake of
Allah alone.
