Light of the Truth

Hatim was a wise man and Ahmad ibn Hanbal was from the second generation after the Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم, two hundred years after the Prophet, they were good people then, it was the sahabah, the tabieen and those who followed the sahabah. Ahamd ibn Hanbal was a prominent figure, and when you have a status like that people talk about you, they get jealous. You know who gets the most jealous? It's family, friends, neighbours - people who know you. Those who don't know you

The Qur'an is the word of Allah, it's magical, it attracts people! It's astonishing, if you deal with it correctly and help the people understand it i.e., interpreting it correctly etc. it attracts the people, it's truly magical! If we had sent this Qur'an to a mountain it would be torn down into pieces, completely torn down, this is a mountain. Do you know how hard you need to hit a mountain to do that?! So imagine our hearts, how our hearts are when the Qur'an is in them. A

Allah will build you a mansion/palace every single day! This is an offer to you from Allah, the majority of us cannot afford mansions here in this world despite our long years of working and earning - but we can attain it so easily for our hereafter. All you have to do is offer 12 rak'ah sunnah each day and the reward is yours for eternity!! See the generosity of Allah! • 2 Rak'ah before Fajr • 4 Rak'ah before Dhur • 2 Rak'ah after Dhur • 2 Rak'ah after Maghrib • 2 Rak'ah aft

A man came from Iraq and he was asking about the equivocal verses of the Quran in Medina. Umar رضي الله عنه heard about this and called for this man to be brought to him. The man came and Umar asked him what his name was, the man replied, my name is Abdullah Subay' (عبد الله صبيع), Umar said my name is Abdullah Umar (عبد الله عمر). Then Umar started beating him, he beat him then threw him in the well, then he took him out. This process happened three consecutive times, the ma

Especially after each prayer saying: • 33x = سبحان الله • 33x = الحمد لله • 33x الله أكبر It's important! The Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم said, may I show you something/tell you something which if you maintain it you will catch up with the people before you (the sahabah) and precede the people who will come after you, and no one will get more reward than you except for the one who does the same or does more. He's referring to saying: Subhan'Allah 33 times 《 سبحان

Be determined and know Allah will answer your duah! Allah will answer your duah, Allah answers everybody, Allah even answers the disbelievers! There's a verse in the Qur’an, the disbelievers were in a boat, on a ship in the sea, waves surrounded them from all sides, they were almost about to drown. Then they made duah to Allah, believing in his oneness at that moment - Allah answered them and saved them. When they reached the shore, they returned to their disbelief. But Allah

A Quran reciter during an interview was once asked why is there a sad tone to his recitation? He replied saying, when I was young a calamity befell me (one of his parents passed away). And my sadness continued after that, it never stopped. One calamity upon another calamity upon another calamity! Life is just like that, this catastrophe goes away, then another one will come up. This is the life. When you have that it's not necessarily a bad thing, it will purify you. People d

Allah will change your condition, nothing is too much or too great for Allah, He changes things every single day, you don't know but He does! Every single day you get up and see this happened here and that happened there, Allah will give honour to whom He wills, disgrace those whom He wills, He will make some people rich and some poor, some people will be born and others will die, some are cured and others fall sick - every single day Allah changes things! كل يوم هو في شأن Ju

When the Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم was sitting in the assembly with the companions, a man passed by. This was a lofty man, powerful, arrogant, boastful man, he passed by and the Prophet simply asked, 'What do you think about this man?' They replied, 'this man if he proposed everyone will agree, if he speaks everyone will listen, if he wants anything, anything he wants he can get.' Then the Prophet sat down. After a while, another man passed by, this man was humble, demeano

You burn yourself, you burn yourself, you burn yourself (i.e you commit sin), then you pray, when you offer the prayer it will extinguish it. - Shaykh Musa Jibril حفظه الله #ShaykhMusaGems #DontMissYourPrayers #prayer #Islam #faith #religion #sins #purity #heaven #paradise #hell #mercy #forgiveness #Allah #strive #belief #goodness

Allah the Al-Mighty said: I have divided the prayer between Myself and My slave into two halves.  When the servant says:   الْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ رَبِّ الْعَالَمِين Allah says: My servant has praised Me. When he says:  الرَّحْمَٰنِ الرَّحِيم Allah says: My servant has extolled Me. *(Extol = high praise)* When he says:  مَالِكِ يَوْمِ الدِّين Allah says: My servant has glorified Me When the servant says:  إِيَّاكَ نَعْبُدُ وَإِيَّاكَ نَسْتَعِين Allah says: This is betwee

In the olden days they used to put the deceased in the casket with nothing on the top, the corpse would be laying flat in it for it to be carried to the cemetery - you could see the body. Before Faatima's death she said رضي الله عنها, 'after my death I would like them to add something/raise the top in order for it to cover my body and not let it be exposed.' This is Faatima رضي الله عنها, one of the four best women to walk the face of this Earth, the leader of the women in P

Dawood عليه السلام used to ask Allah, O Allah, as you provide the chick of the crow, provide for me. When the chick of the crow hatches at the beginning it's white. Because it's white the parents abandon the chick because they get scared of it. From the start it has been left alone, abandoned and has no one to feed it. Then Allah will send a worm to come in the beak of the chick. The reason the worms go there is because of the smell of the beak, in this case the chick starts

What is Zakat Al Fitr? Zakat Al Fitr has been prescribed by Allah, its purpose is to feed the indigent/poor people and to sanctify and cleanse the person fasting from their harangue, speech, such as gossiping, backbiting and its likes. It is also to sanctify and cleanse the fasting believer from any of their evil doings. Who is required to give Zakat Al Fitr? It’s imposed upon every Muslim - men, women, slaves and children too - it has been prescribed upon anyone who fasts. T

Aisha رضي الله عنها once had a dispute with the Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم. He said, 'Okay Aisha, I want to get someone to reconcile between us.' She agreed. He said, 'Umar?' She said, 'No'. He said, 'Ali?' She replied 'No.' He mentioned so and so but she refused. Then he صلى الله عليه وسلم said, 'your father?' Aisha said, 'Yes, my father is okay!' He, the Prophet of Allah brought her father and the father (Abu Bakr) came to fix the problem. Aisha was sitting on one side, the

Prayer is the most important thing after Tawheed. Tawheed then the prayer. The prayer is the only compulsory ordainment upon the prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم in heaven, everything else was ordained on Earth, however the obligation of prayer, Allah had the prophet ascend to heaven and then He enjoined the prayer upon him in heaven. This shows the importance of the prayer! Four out of five pillars of Islam were enjoined to the prophet on Earth, only the prayer was enjoined upon t

The good people when they hear something, they take the good of it and they follow it - that is the good people. They hear the (good) word and they follow it. In Islam, a recompense for evil is evil likewise, it's your right to do the same thing. There was a king during the time of Umar Ibn Al Khattab called جبله ابن الايهم, he was from Damascus and he wanted to become a Muslim, he was a king, imagine, just his soldiers, all of them had saddles made of gold - now imagine him!

Remember this rule: Allah will not accept any good deed or righteous action until it is stipulated with two basic conditions which must be fulfilled! 1. Sincerity (must be done for the sake of Allah alone). 2. In accordance to the sunnah of the Prophet ﷺ Do things for the sake of Allah 100%. For example, if you do something 99.9% for the sake of Allah and 0.1% to show off or to gain fame/wealth etc. ALLAH WILL NOT ACCEPT IT WHATSOEVER! On the day of judgement Allah will tell

We encounter four paradises in our lives. 1. One of them a person has nothing to do with it. Jannah in the womb of the mother. Why is that Jannah? Because the fetus has nothing to worry about, doesn't have to worry about shelter, food, weather etc. That's considered a Jannah... The person in the womb has no choice regarding it. 2. The second Jannah, similar to what Ibn Taymiyyah رحمه الله said, 'Jannah is in my heart.' This comes from the remembrance of Allah, learning the wo

The prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم said, whosoever leaves his house and says: بِسْمِ اللهِ تَوَكَّلْتُ عَلَى اللهِ وَلَا حَوْلَ وَلَا قُوَّةَ إِلَّا بِالله In the name of Allah, I place my complete trust in Allah, the best of protectors and guardian. There is neither might nor power except with Allah, the angels will say to him, "you have been guided, you have been sufficed completely from all your problems and you have been protected from all things!" In other words, after the
