ARE WE OPPRESSED???

Assalamualaikum Warahmathulahi Wabarakatuhu

WOMEN IN ISLAM

" ARE WE OPPRESSED?"
They say muslim women are oppressed.Let's find the fat.And those who are calling for the freedom of women,and those who call for equality,and who beg to free muslim women. But free her from what?

They want to free her from her Dignity of course,
Free her from the clothes she wears,
Free her from the pride that she has,
They want to free her and make her invaluable.
They want her to be looked by every passerby.

But remember dear sisters "How good you look is not what you have inside, its just what you have outside". It's a superficial short lived, a measuring stick that is judged by a human being.
Your a slave to a man who tells you what to do?, what not to do?, what to wear? what not to wear? Is this the freedom the society wants the sisters to have????
Decide sisters do you want such freedom ?

OR Do you want to please Allah SWT?

A man that doesn't care, who you are, where you go, you're gonna end up in the hell fire after him.
OR Allah SWT who wants your to go in Eternal happiness?
If this the freedom you want.
If this is who your are.

It's A choice you have to make Ukhti!

Today "HAYAA" (shyness) is lost among muslim sisters. We see sisters laughing and playing around in public places. Hayaa is a branch of Eemaan (Faith).
Every successful man need a KHADIJA.
So the first person to embarace islam was a women.
The first person to die for islam was women. "Sumayyah"
The greatest scholor of Islam was a women "Aaysha".
The person who loved the prophet the most was a women "Fathimah".
The person who made biggest sacrifice for Islam in one day was a women."Khansa"
One of the greatest fighters in Islamic History was a women. "Kawlah Bint al Azwar"

The warrior behind the veil , the women. Women were at the Forefront of this Islamic awakening, side by side with Rasullullah SAW.

This message is for every sister who lives in defense of the "Qur'an and the Sunnah", and this message is for every sister who has forgotten who she is, I want to speak to you but the real you.
I don't want to speak to the lipstick, or the color contacts or the pink hair or the bouncing head to the iPod or the cowgirl boots or the fake nails, I want to speak to you the Real You, your heart and your soul and your mind, About those things buried deep down inside of you, that I wish you could remember.

Don't you remember who you are? And women that are "kaasiyat", they have clothes on, they have fabric on their bodies,but "Aariyat", they are naked. They're wearing clothes but it's as if they're not wearing anything.Like the women we see nowadays, "Maa'ilaat" "Mumilat" they sway side to side, in the way they walk, the way they talk, and the way they interact with the opposite gender.

The Prophet SAW says:"They do not enter "JANNAH" these two types of people, and they will not even be able to find the fragrance of "JANNAH".

The women who leave the house with the shape of their bodies defined,or their hairs showing, or their decorating one way shape or form, or their are perfumed. Every neck that turns, every eye that looks, you share in the sin of the person that committed it. You could be upon the bus reading "Qur'an or making Dhikr" and you don't even realize the guy whose eyes fall on your thigh, or his eyes fall on your arms, or your neck, or your waist, or your legs, any of this. You get the exact same sin because you made,that sin a possibility. And it appeared to them before ALLAH, What they never expected. Sins and sins and sins and sins; Mountains!Never expected. The Higher the skirt, the higher the pay, the more buttons open on the blouse, the higher the pay, The prettier the hair, the higher the pay.
The society has tricked the women in to thinking the attention they can grab to what? to feed their perverse desires. They brainwashed women in to thinking that was value. And they thought they were liberated and they finally achieved Equality.

But really they have tricked the women.But not you. Not my Sister. Not the slave of Allah.
pls now say dear sisters are "WE OPPRESSED? "

Not at all islam has respected women to such a extend that the JANNAH lies under the feet of mother.
SHARE TO SHOW THE WORLD muslims are not oppressed.

CLIPPING NAILS, BROOMING THE HOUSE AFTER MAGHRIB

One may clip their nails, broom the house or the whole town, and do whatever chores they need to do, at any time of the day or night! ‘People’ may say a lot of things, but only what Allah and His Messenger (sallAllahu 'alyhi wasallam) have guided towards, is the Absolute Truth! 

No nail, and no broom, and no one else has any power or strength to bring any good or harm upon us. All Power is Absolutely vested in the One and Only, All Mighty and All Powerful Lord of the Universe.

Allah says in the Glorious Quran:
►"If Allah should aid you, no one can overcome you; but if He should forsake you, who is there that can aid you after Him? And upon Allah let the believers rely." (3:160)

►"That is only Satan who frightens [you] of his supporters. So fear them not, but fear Me, if you are [indeed] believers." (3:175)

►"And do not invoke besides Allah that which neither benefits you nor harms you, for if you did, then indeed you would be of the wrongdoers. And if Allah should touch you with adversity, there is no remover of it except Him; and if He intends for you good, then there is no repeller of His bounty. He causes it to reach whom He wills of His servants. And He is the Forgiving, the Merciful. (10:106-107) 

To fear that anyone or anything can bring upon us some harm or benefit is a manifestation of the heinous sin of shirk, and the believers must stay far away from anything that even has a connotation of this heinous and unforgiveable crime of ‘shirk’!

●|● MISCONCEPTIONS AND SUPERSTITION REFUTATION ●|●

•• ► BLACK CATS 

There is absolutely nothing in the Quran or Sunnah which would give rise to the belief that black (or any color) cats are a ‘bad omen’ or that the Jinn has the power to possess black cats! These beliefs are nothing but superstitions, and superstitions have absolutely no basis or relevance in the deen of Truth brought by Prophet Mohamed (sallAllahu alyhi wasallam).

The Messenger of Allah (sallAllahu alyhi wasallam) declared that the cat is not impure, and were amongst those pure animals which intermingle with humans in the report narrated by Abu Dawood (68) from Kabshah bint Ka’b ibn Maalik, who was married to Ibn Abi Qutaadah, Abu Qutaadah entered and she poured some water for him to do wudoo’.

A cat came and drank from the water, and he tipped the vessel for it so that it could drink. Kabshah said: “He saw me looking at him and he said, ‘Do you find it strange, O daughter of my brother?’ I said, ‘Yes.’ He said, ‘The Messenger of Allaah (sallAllahu alyhi wasallam) said, “They (cats) are not naajis (impure), rather they are among those who go around among you (al-tawwaafeena ‘alaykum).”’”

VIRTUES OF THE TAHAJJUD PRAYER

ASSALAMUALAIKUM WARAHMATHULAHI WABARAKATUHU

BISMILLAHIR RAHMANIR RAHEEM

VIRTUES OF THE TAHAJJUD PRAYER 

This is related by at-Tabarani and al-Bazzar. Anas quoted Allah’s Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him), as saying: • "Prayer in my mosque is equal to ten thousand prayers [elsewhere]. And prayer in the Sacred Mosque is equivalent to one hundred thousand prayers [elsewhere]. And prayer in the battlefield is equivalent to one million prayers [elsewhere]. And what is more than all of that is two rak`ahs performed by a servant [of Allah] during the middle of the night." 

It is best to delay this prayer to the last third portion of the night. Abu Hurairah quoted that the Messenger of Allah, as saying: • "Our Lord descends to the lowest heaven during the last third of the night, inquiring: 'Who will call on Me so that I may respond to him? Who is asking something of Me so I may give it to him? Who is asking for My forgiveness so I may forgive him?" 

Abu Hurairah quoted the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), as saying:• "May Allah bless the man who gets up during the night to pray and wakes up his wife and who, if she refuses to get up, sprinkles water on her face. And may Allah bless the woman who gets up during the night to pray and wakes up her husband and who, if he refuses, sprinkles water on his face." 

The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) also said: • "If a man wakes his wife and prays during the night or they pray two rak`ahs together, they will be recorded among those (men and women) who (constantly) make remembrance of Allah." 

Abu ad-Darda' quoted the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) as saying:• "Whoever goes to his bed with the intention of getting up and praying during the night, but, being overcome by sleep, fails to do that, he will have recorded for him what he has intended, and his sleep will be reckoned as a charity (an act of mercy) for him from his Lord." 

Salman al-Farsi quoted the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) as saying:• "Observe the night prayer, it was the practice of the righteous before you and it brings you closer to your Lord and it is penance for evil deeds and erases the sins and repels disease from the body." 

Abu Hurayra (Allah be pleased with him) reports that the Messenger of Allah (blessings and peace be upon him, his family, and companions) said, • “The best prayer after the obligatory prayers is the night prayer.”[Muslim] 

It is reported from Hazrat Anas R.A. that he heard our Beloved Nabee Sallallahoo Alayhi Wasallam say:• "Two Raka'ats of prayer performed in the middle of the night are dearer to me than the entire world and everything therein."

METHOD OF PRAYING TAHAJJUD PRAYER 

1160. 'A'isha said, "The Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, used to get up to pray at night to the extent that his feet became swollen. I said to him, 'Why do you do this, Messenger of Allah, when you have been forgiven your past and future wrong actions?' He said, 'Should I not be a thankful slave?'" 

Hudhayfa said, "I prayed with the Prophet, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, one night and he began al-Baqara. I said, 'He will go into ruku' after a hundred.' He continued and I said, 'He will pray one rak'at with it.' But he continued. I said, 'He will go into ruku' with it.' Then he began Surat an-Nisa' and recited it and then began Ali 'Imran and recited it. He recited slowly and when he passed through an ayat of glorification, he glorified Allah. When he passed a question, he asked it. When he passed an ayat of seeking refuge, he sought refuge. Then he went into ruku' and began to say, 'Glory be to my Lord, the Immense.' His bowing was about as long as his standing. Then he said, 'Allah hears whoever praises Him. Our Lord, yours is the praise.' Then he stood for a long time, nearly as long as his bowing. Then he prostrated and said, 'Glory be to my Lord, the Most High.' His prostration was almost as long as his standing." [Muslim]  

Number of Rakaats in Tahajjud

The number of rakaats performed by Nabi  varied according to the prevailing circumstances. Although on certain occasions sufficient time was available, Nabi would perform less rakaats reciting lengthy Qiraat. [Khasa'ile Nabawee p 156]

Deducing from the various narrations four to twelve rakaats in units of two or four have been recommended. [Imdaadul Fatawa vol 1 -Baab finnawaafil / Maraqiyul Falah]

However if two rakaats are performed in the prescribed time it will be regarded as Tahajjud. [Raddul Mukhtaar 1/715] 

Dua to Assist in Waking Up for Tahajjud

A person remarked to Abdullah bin Abbas , "I always intend awakening in the last portion of the night to perform Salaat but sleep overpowers me." Ibne Abbas  replied, "Before sleeping recite from "QUL LAW KAANAL BAHRU MIDADAL..." to the end of Surah Kahf. Allah Ta'ala will waken you at whatever time you intend rising." [Tha'labi-Ma'ariful Quraan vol 5]

●|● Salat-l-Istikhara ●|●

ASSALAMUALAIKUM WARAHMATHULAHI WABARAKATUHU

This "prayer for guidance" is often used to help in important decision-making...

Anytime a Muslim is making a decision, he or she should seek Allah's guidance and wisdom. Allah alone knows what is best for us, and there may be good in what we perceive as bad, and bad in what we perceive as good.
If you are ambivalent or unsure about a decision you have to make, there is a specific prayer for guidance (Salat-l-Istikhara) that you can do to ask for Allah's help in making your decision. Should you marry this certain person? Should you attend this graduate school? Should you take this job offer or that one? Allah knows what is best for you, and if you are not sure about a choice that you have, seek His guidance.

The Prophet Muhammad said, "If one of you is concerned about some practical undertaking, or about making plans for a journey, he should perform two cycles (rak'atain) of voluntary prayer." Then he/she should say the following du'a:

♥ Transliteration: ♥

Allahumma inni astakheeroka bi ilmik. Wa'astaq-diroka biqodratik. Wa'as'aloka min fadlikal-azeem. Fa'innaka taqdiru wala aqdir. Wata lamo wala-a lam. Wa'anta-allamul ghuyoob.
Allahumma in kunta ta lamu anna (hathal-amra*) khayul-lee fi deenee wama ashi wa ajila amri wa'ajilah, faqdorho lee, wayassirho lee, thomma-barik lee fih. Wa'in konta ta lamo anna (hathal-amra*) sharrul-lee fi deenee. Wama ashi. Wa ajila amri. Wa'ajilaho. Fasrifho annee. Wasrifnee anh. Waqdur leyal-khayr haytho kan. Thomma ardini bih.


♥ Translation: ♥

Oh Allah! I seek Your guidance by virtue of Your knowledge, and I seek ability by virtue of Your power, and I ask You of Your great bounty. You have power; I have none. And You know; I know not. You are the Knower of hidden things.
Oh Allah! If in Your knowledge, (this matter*) is good for my religion, my livelihood and my affairs, immediate and in the future, then ordain it for me, make it easy for me, and bless it for me. And if in Your knowledge, (this matter*) is bad for my religion, my livelihood and my affairs, immediate and in the future, then turn it away from me, and turn me away from it. And ordain for me the good wherever it may be, and make me content with it.

•• ►When making the du'a, the actual matter or decision should be mentioned instead of the words "hathal-amra" ("this matter").

•• ►After doing salat-l-istikhara, you may feel more inclined toward a decision one way or the other.

●|● Salatul Tasbih (For forgiveness of All Sins) ●|●

ASSALAMUALAIKUM WARAHMATHULAHI WABARAKATUHU

BISMILLAHIR RAHMANIR RAHEEM

♥ ♥ Benefits of Salat-Ul-Tasbih :
Our Beloved Prophet Mohammed (Sallallaho Alihiwassallam) said to his uncle (father’s brother) Sayyiduna Abbass (may Allah be pleased with him) Oh uncle shall I not give you Shall I not grant you Shall I not award you Shall I not do mercy on you When you do 10 things Allah will forgive your sins: of the future and of the past; new and old; those you have forgotten and those you did knowingly; big and small; hidden and revealed. Then he (Sallallaho Alihiwassallam) explained the taught the way to pray Salatul Tasbih and then said if you can pray this salah once a day, if you can not pray once a day then every Friday, and even if this is not possible then once a month and even if this is not possible then once a year and even if this is not possible then at least once in a lifetime (Abu’Dawood & Tirimzi)

♥ ♥ How to perform Salatul Tasbih?
This salaat (namaz) is offered in four rakat at a time and can be read in any part of the day and night besides Zawal and Sunrise and Sunset makrooh times, keeping in mind the forbidden times for performing Salat (namaaz). But is is preferred before Zuhr (Fatawa Alamgeeri)

♥ ♥ The Tasbih to be read in Salaat-Ul-Tasbeeh:
" Subhaan Allahi Wal Hamdulillahi Wa Laa ilaha illal Laahu Wallahu Akbar "

♥ ♥ Method:
Goal is to recite above Tasbih 300 times in Four Rakah with the following method.
1)In the first rakaat, after reading Sana "Subhaana Kallahumma...", read the above tasbih 15 times.
2)Now recite Aaoz "Aoozubillah...", Bismillah "Bismillah...", Then read sura Fatiha and a Surah or minimum of three small Ayayhs then read the tasbih 10 times again. 
3)Go to ruku saying Takbeer (Allah Hoo Akbar), after reciting "Subhaana Rabbiyal Azeem" minimum of three times read the tasbih 10 times in Ruku.
4)Saying "Samee Allahu Liman Hamidah Rabbana Lakal Hamdh" get up from ruku to qiyam position.
Now read the tasbih 10 times.
5)Go to Sajdah saying Takbeer (Allah Hoo Akbar) and after reciting "Subhaana Rabbiyal A'la" minimum of three times read the tasbih 10 times in Sajdah.
6)Now go after first Sajdah go to Jalsa (sitting position) saying Takbeer (Allah Hoo Akbar). Sitting in Jalsa read tasbih 10 times.
7)Go to sajda again saying Takbeer (Allah Hoo Akbar) and after reciting "Subhaana Rabbiyal A'la" minimum of three times read the tasbih 10 times in Sajdah again.
8)Get up to begin 2nd rakat saying Takbeer (Allah Hoo Akbar).
9)Do rakah #2 in same fashion, but before reading Bismillah "Bismillah...", and Surah Fatiha, read the tasbih 15 times. Follow the rest as you did in first Rakat.
10)After second Sajdah of Second Rakat sit in Qaidah Oola (first sitting) read Attahiyat, Durood and Dua then get up for 3rd rakaat without saying Salam.
11)Begin third Rakat, just like the first Rakat, with Sana "Subhaana Kallahumma...", read the above tasbih 15 times. Follow the rest as you did in first Rakat untill you sit for Qaidah Akihra (last sitting) after second sajdah of fourth Rakah.
12)In Qaidah Akihra Attahiyat, Durood, Dua finish Salah with Salam.

♥ ♥ Special notes for Salat-Ul-Tasbih:
1) Do not count loudly. It will break Salah
2) Do not count on fingers or by holding a Bead Tasbih in hand. It is Makruh.
3) You may count by pressing the fingers as a reminder. For example if you are in Ruku. You me press pinky of your right hand first for the first count, then the finger next to it for second count, then the middle finger for third count, following this method untill you reach the pinky of left hand will give you an exact count of ten. Use the same method in Qayam, Sajdah and Jalsa.
4) If missed a count then make it up in the next posture. For example if forgot to recite Tasbih after Surah in Qayam. Then you may recite Tasbish 20 times instead of 10 in Rukuh after "Subhaana Rabbiyal Azeem". Missed Tasbih cannot be recited in Qayam after ruku and Jalsa between Sajdah. If you missed the Tasbih in Ruku then recite 20 in the first Sajdah instead of the Qayam after rukuh. Similarly if missed the Tasbih in first Sajdah then do not make it up in Jalsa. Instead recite missed tasbih in the second Sajdah. If Tasbih has been missed in last sajdah of second or fourth Rakah then you can recite the missed ones before Attahiyat in Qaidah.
5) If you miss a wajib in Salah and have to do Sajdah Sahaw. You dont have to recite Tasbih in Sajdah sahoo, since the 300 count has been estalished. But if you had missed Tasbih in any of the postures and remeber it now. Then you may recite the missed Tasbih in Sajdah Sahaw now.
6) It is preferable to recite after Surah Fatiha Sura Takathuur in the first raka’, Surah Wal A’sr in the second raka’, Surah Kaferoon (qul ya aiyuhal Kafiroon) in the third and Surah Akhlas (Qul hu Allah-hu ahd) in the fourth raka’. If one does not remember these surah they can recite the ones they prefer.

♥ ♥ May Allah accept this dua’ (supplication) for the sake of the trustworthy PROPHET MOHAMMED (Allah’s Grace & Peace be upon him) ♥ ♥

The day of Resurrection

The last phase of our existence, and the second stage of the life after death is Resurrection. 

This will be the beginning of the life that has no end i.e., the eternal life. This is the end of which there is no end. In the Holy Quran, Resurrection has been described by various characteristic names, each gives a definite explanation of the event related to the Resurrection. 

Though, a lot of Quranic verses and hadith of the Holy Prophet ( sallahu alayhi wasallam) and Imams are there to enlighten us about the events that will take place one after the other, but still the complete picture of resurrection is beyond our comprehension. 

It is a very vast subject. The words, terms, and expressions that we have in the vocabulary of all the spoken languages are not sufficient to encompass the variety of things related to this subjects.

Nearing the end of time, the trumpet will be blown and creation will cease to exist.  God, Almighty, says:

“And the Trumpet will be blown, and all who are in the heavens and all who are on the earth will swoon away, except him whom God wills.” (Quran 39:68)

 

It will be blown a second blowing, and all creation from the beginning of time till the end of time will be resurrected.  God, the Exalted, tells us:

“And the Trumpet will be blown (i.e.  the second blowing) and behold!  From the graves they will come out quickly to their Lord.” (Quran 36:51)

Day of Judgment 

 

As humankind awaits the decree of Almighty God, they would be standing under the sun, which would be brought close to them.  Al-Miqdad b. al-Aswad, one of the Companions, said: ‘I heard the Messenger of God saying:

“The sun will be a distance of a mile from the creation on the Day of Resurrection.  People will sink in their perspiration according to their deeds.  Some would sink in their perspiration till their ankles, while others would sink in it to their thighs and waists; yet others, would sink in it till their mouths!”‘ (Saheeh Muslim)

If anyone of us, today, was to sweat on a sunny day, they wouldn’t be able to wait to hit the showers… the Day of Resurrection will be 50 000 years long.  The Prophet said:

“That day will be 50 000 years long, after which a person will be admitted into Paradise or cast into Hell.” (Abu Dawood)

Peoples’ hearts will be pounding, not knowing what would become of them.  God describes to us the horrors of that day.  He says:

“On the Day you see it every nursing mother will be distracted from that [child] she was nursing, and every pregnant woman will abort her pregnancy, and you will see the people [appearing] intoxicated while they are not intoxicated; but the punishment of Allah is severe.” (Quran 22:2)

Even the believers who believed in truth will be severely worried.  God says:

“And they who give what they give while their hearts are fearful because they will be returning to their Lord.” (Quran 23:60)

Aishah, may God be pleased with her, said: “Are they those who drink liquor, and steal?”  The Prophet answered:

“No, Aishah, they are the ones who fast, pray and give out in charity, but are fearful that their deeds would not be accepted from them.” (Saheeh Muslim)

Court Procedure:

This will be a unique Court of Justice, where no one can deny from what he had done. Quran confirms;

“ On the Day when their tongues and their hands, and their feet will testify against them about their actions. On that Day Allah will pay them back their just dues, and they will realize that Allah is the truth.” (24:24-25)

Allah (swt) has prepared a written record of every individual. This written record will be given to him on the Day of Judgment. Quran clearly states on this matter.

“The works of each man, We have bound about his neck. On the Day of Judgment, we shall confront him with a book spread wide open, saying: Read your book, enough for you this day that your own soul should call you to account”. (17:13)

This confirms that a Video film of our whole life is being prepared and on the Day of Judgment, Allah (swt) will give the same Video cassette to us to see everything which we had done in this world.

Quran says:

“O woe unto us! what is about this book: it had not left any small or big thing without recording it thoroughly:”

 

The good people will be given their book in their right hands and will be asked to proceed to Jannat, while the bad people shall get their book in their left hands and will be thrown out into the Jahannum(hell).

So my dear brothers and sisters have u ever thought of this ? ? ?

Please be prepared for hereafter this life is temporary remember it always.

Stop wasting time and star repenting and thanking.You don't have much time left.What if u die the next second??

ARE YOU READY TO FACE GRAVE ????

Life of this world and the hereafter

Man is placed on earth only for a very short time. There, he will be tested, trained and then passed over to the Hereafter where he will stay forever. The possessions and blessings of this world,although created similar to their originals in Heaven, actually possess many defects and weaknesses. For they are intended to make man remember the Hereafter.

 

"Know that the life of this world is only play and amusement, pomp and mutual boasting among you, and rivalry in respect of wealth and children, as the likeness of vegetation after rain, thereof the growth is pleasing to the tiller; afterwards it dries up and you see it turning yellow; then it becomes straw. But in the Hereafter (there is) a severe torment, and (there is) Forgiveness from God and (His) Good Pleasure, whereas the life of this world is only a deceiving enjoyment." 
The Holy Qur'an, Chapter 57, Verse 20 

People consider that their 60-70 year long life on this earth will be long and a satisfying one. Yet, in a very short time death comes and all are buried in their graves. As a matter of fact, as death comes closer one realizes how short a time he has stayed in this world. On the Day of Resurrection, ALLAH will question the people.

"He will say: 'What number of years did you stay on earth?' They will reply: 'We stayed a day or part of a day: but ask those who keep account.' He will say: 'You stayed but a little - if you had only known! Did you think that We had created you in jest, and that you would never be brought back to Us?' " 
The Holy Qur'an, Chapter 23, Verses 112-115 

Those who forget that this world is only a temporary place for trial and who are not careful of God's signs, but are satisfied only with the worldly play and amusements of this life, assume them as their own, and even deify them will surely deserve the grevious penalty. The Qur'an describes the status of such people: 

"Then, as for him who transgresses all bounds, and prefers the life of this world, then surely the hell, that is the abode." The Holy Qur'an, Chapter 79, Verses 37-39 

 

I will give you a brief Idea about the Afterlife that Allah the Almighty has taught us in the Quran and Hadith.

1. At the time of Death

Allah the Almighty commands the Angel of Death to go take the 'Rooh' (roughly translated as soul) of a person at the time of Death.

(A) FOR REAL MUSLIM:

Then the angel of death (peace be upon him) will come and sit at his head and will say "O you virtuous soul; come out to a forgiveness and a pleasure from your Lord ". So it will come out as a drop comes out of the mouth of a jug (with ease), then he will take it, not leaving it in his hand for longer that a blink of an eye until they (he and the other angels) have placed it in that shroud and that embalmment. And there will emanate from it a smell like that of the most sweet smelling musk on the face of the earth. Then they shall ascend with it, and they shall not pass with it by any group of angels but they will say: What is this good and sweet-smelling soul?. Then they shall say to them (he is) "such" the son of "such" choosing the best of the names he used to be called in this life. Until they reach the lowest sky, then they shall ask permission to enter, and they shall be granted entry, until they end at the seventh heaven sky, then Allah, exalted and high, shall say: "write the book of my servant in `illiyeen (1) [And what will explain to you what Illiyeen is `illiyeen, there is a register fully inscribed to which bear witness those nearest to Allah (see 83:18)], and his book will be written in `illiyeen, and the shall be said "return him to the earth, for [I promised them] I have created them from it, and into it I shall return them, and from it I shall extract (resurrect) them a second time (20:55)". So [he is returned to earth and] his soul is returned to his body [he said and he will hear the footsteps of his friends who buried him when they leave him].

 

Then two [severe] angels shall come and [terrify him and] sit him up next to them and shall ask him: "Who is your Lord?". He shall reply "My Lord is Allah". Then they shall ask him: "What is your religion?". He shall answer them: "My religion is Islam". Then they shall ask him "Who is this man who was sent among you?". He will reply "He is the Messenger of Allah (SAWS) peace be upon him". Then they shall ask him "What have you done?". He shall reply: "I read the book of Allah, then I believed in it and accepted it". [The angel will terrify him and ask him "who is your Lord?", "what is your religion?" "who is your prophet?", and this will be the last trial on earth for the believer, it is then when Allah says : "Allah will establish in strength those who believe with the word that stands firm in this world", so he will answer my Lord is Allah, my religion is Islam and my Prophet is Mohammad salla Allahu alaihi wa sallam. Then a caller will call from the sky: "My slave has spoken the truth, so spread out for him from the heaven, and clothe him from the heaven, and open a door for him from the heaven (within his grave)", so it's goodness and its smell will come unto him, then his grave will be expanded for him as far as he can see.

 

Then a man will come to him. His face will be handsome, and his clothes will be handsome, and his smell will be sweet. Then he shall say unto him: I bring you glade tidings of that which will make you happy [Rejoice with a pleasure of Allah and delights that endure]. This is the day that you were promised (46:16). Then he will say [and may Allah give you glad tiding] "who are you?, for your face is the face of someone who comes with good news". He shall reply: "I am your good deeds, [by Allah, I did not know of you but that you were quick to the obedience of Allah and slow to His disobedience, so may Allah reward you good]". Then he shall say: "My Lord bring the hour so that I might return to my family and my wealth" [it will be said to him "be tranquil"].

(B) FOR HYPOCRITES AND NON-MUSLIMS:

He (Mohammed, salla Allahu alaihi wa sallam) said: { And the disbelieving [transgressor/wicked] servant}, if he is leaving this life and journeying to the hereafter then angels will descend upon him, their faces will be black, they have with them a coarse woolen fabric (sackcloth)[ made of fire]. Then they will sit within eye-shot of him. Then the angel of death will come and sit at his head and will say "O you wicked soul; come out to a anger from your Lord and a fury (from Him)". So it will be distributed (spread out) throughout his body, then it will be ripped away as a skewer/spit is ripped out of damp cotton [and in its way out it will tear and cut the nerves and blood vessels] [and then he will be cursed by all the angels between the earth and the sky and by all the angels in the sky, and the gates of heaven are closed. There is no gate in the heaven but its people supplicate that the wicked soul shall not be ascended to their side], then he will take it (the soul), not leaving it in his hand for longer than a blink of an eye until they have placed it in that sackcloth. And there will emanate from it a stench like that of the most evil smelling corpse on the face of the earth. Then they shall ascend with it, and they shall not pass with it by a group of angels but they will say: What is this wicked soul?. Then they shall say to them (he is) "such" the son of "such" choosing the most hated of the names he used to be called in this life. Until they reach the lowest heaven (sky), then they shall ask permission to enter, and they shall not be granted entry. Then the Messenger of Allah (SAWS) recited "The doors of the sky are not opened to them, nor shall they enter heaven until the camel passes through the eye of the needle" (7:40). 

 

Then two harsh severe and fearsome angels shall come and [terrify him and] sit him up and shall ask him: "Who is your Lord?". He shall reply "Huh?, Huh (this is an expression of sorrow), I don't know". Then they shall ask him: "What is your religion?". He shall answer them: "Huh?, Huh?, I don't know". Then they shall ask him "Who is this man who was sent among you?". He will reply "Huh?, Huh?, I don't know [I heard people saying that!]". He (the Prophet salla Allahu alaihi wa sallam) said "And then will be said to him don't ever know and don't ever recite!"]. 

Then a caller will call from the sky: "My slave has spoken falsely, so spread out for him from the hell fire, and open a door for him from the hell fire (within his grave)", so its heat and hot wind will come unto him, then his grave will be contracted upon him until his limbs are caught up among one another. Then a man will come to him. His face will be ugly, and his clothes will be ugly, and his smell will be vile. Then he shall say unto him: I bring you tidings of that which will harm you. This is the day that you were promised (70:44). Then he will say [and you, may Allah give you bad tiding] "who are you?, for your face is the face of someone who comes with evil". He shall reply: "I am your evil deeds [by Allah, I did not know of you but that you were quick to the disobedience of Allah and slow to His obedience, so may Allah reward you bad, and then will be assigned to him a blind, deaf and mute person who holds in his hand a hammer, if a mountain is hit with it, it would disintegrate, and he will beat him with it until he becomes dust, and then Allah will render him to his initial form, and he will beat him again, and he (the wicked) will cry of sorrow and pain a cry that will be heard by all creatures except humans and jinn, and a door of hell will be opened unto him within his grave and will spread out for him sheets of hell fire]". Then he shall say: "My Lord do not bring the hour".

 

This hadith is narrated by Ahmad Ibn Hambal, Abu Dawud, Ibn Majah, at-Tayalisi, and al-Hakim who said it is according to the standards of Bukhari and Muslim.

2. After Burial in the grave 

 The Squeezing of the body in the Grave:

The squeezing of the body takes place in the grave on the first night. For some, this squeezing will be as two intimate friends embrace each other when they meet after a long time. But, for others this will be so severe that the ribs of right and left side will penetrate into each other.

 

Wadi-e-Salaam:

This is the resting place of the good souls. The good practising Muslim is transfer red after the Questions - Answers session to a place known as Wadi-e-Salaam. Here, he would meet many of his relatives and friends who died before him and were housed here because of their good deeds.

They see the delights of the paradise throughout this period in reward of their exceptionally good deeds.

 

Wadi-e-Barhoot :

This is the place where the souls of the non-believers, polytheists, infields and rejected people are transferred immediately after the death. The new dead man will find many of his dead relatives, friends and followers camped there in miserable conditions. All of them, i.e., their souls, will live there until the day of resurrection. Although the final accountability and the punishment of the dead person will be on the Day of Judgment, but the souls of the rebellious people like Firaun, Namrood, Yazid and other enemies of the Prophets and Imams will be exposed to the punishment soon after their death.

 

((So remember our graves are waiting for us , no one knows when's our death except ALLAH , so always be prepared for it. It's not  late still ALLAH loves u and wants u too return to his way , that's why he has blessed u with today. THANK ALLAH and turn to him before u return to him.

And keep repenting always and keep thanking ALLAH always.

He is oft-forgiving and most merciful.))

VIRTUES OF RECITING CERTAIN SURAHS

Our Prophet Muhammud (ﷺ) has said:

==> The best of you is he who learnt the Holy Quran and taught it to others. (Bukhari)

==> That chest which does not have any Quran in it is like an abandoned house. (Tirmizi, Darmi) 

==> Whoever read the Quran and memorized it and belived its' Halal to be Halal and its Haram to be Haram [i.e., accepted it commandments of Halal and Haraam], Allah will accept the intercession for such 10 people on from him whom Hell had already become Wajib. (Tirmizi, Ibn-e-Majah)

ALLAH the ALMIGHTY has said:

"Whoever was kept busy with the [recitation] of Quran from my Zikr and asking me, I will give him better than those who I give to those who ask" and the excellence of the Word of Allah over all the other words is like the excellence of Allah over all his creation.

Rewards for certain Surahs and Ayahs

===>Surah Yaseen:Everything has a heart and the heart of the Quran is Surah Yaseen, whoever read Yaseen, Allah will write the reward of reading the Quran ten times from him. (Tirmizi and Darmi).

Whoever reads Surah Yaseen for the pleasure of Allah, his past sins will be forgiven so read this near your deceased. (Bahiqi)

===>Surah Ikhlas:(Reading) Qul hu WAllahu Ahad (Surah Ikhlas) is equal to [reading] one third of the Quran.

===>Surah Mulk (Surah Tabarak):Surah Tabarak (Surah Mulk) saves one from Hell.

===>SURAH BAQARAH AND  IMRAAN:Recite the two glittering lustres Baqarah and Aale lmraan; for these two will come on the Day of Qiyaamah as if they are two clouds or shelters or two rows of a flock of birds: they will quarrel (with Allah) to have their reciter forgiven.

===>THE LAST TWO VERSES OF SURAH BAQARAH: Allah has completed the Surah Baqarah with such two verses that these have been given to me from the treasures kept beneath the Throne: so learn them and teach them to your wives and children for they are a source of mercy, a form of recitation and prayers.

===>SURAH AN’AAM: It is mentioned In the Hadeeth that when the Surah An’aam was revealed, Rasoolullah (Sall Allahu ‘alaihi wa Aalihi wa Sallim) said Alhamdulillah/ah. And then he said: “By Allah, so many angels came to convey this Surah that the corners of the heavens became covered with their great numbers.

===>SURAH TAW HAA, TAW SEEN AND HAA MEEM:Rasoolullah (Sall Allahu ‘alaihi wa Aalihi wa Sallim) is reported to have said: “I have been given Taw Haa, Taw seen and Haa Meem from the scrolls of Moosa (AS).”

===>SURAH ZILZAAL: According to one Hadeeth a Sahabi (RA) asked Rasoolullah

(Sallallahu-alayhi wasallam): “0 Messenger of Allah, show me (concise) Surah of the Qur’aan which is comprehensive and which I may recite with constancy” Rasoolullah (Sall Allahu ‘alaihi wa Aalihi wa Sallim) mentioned Surah Zilzaal The Sahabi (RA) said:

“By Him who has sent you as a Rasool, I will never recite much more than this” Saying this, he departed. Upon this Rasoolullah (Sall Allahu ‘alaihi wa Aalihi wa Sallim) said twice “This poor person has attained salvation’ This poor person has attained salvation’”

===>SURATUL FALAQ AND SURATUN : According to one Hadeeth Rasoolullah (Sall Allahu ‘alaihi wa Aalihi wa Sallim) used to invoke Allah’s protection against the mischief of Jinn and the evil gaze (nazr) of men, (using various words) until Allah Ta’ala revealed these two Mu’aw-wazatain on him. So he held firmly to these and discarded all others.

According to one Hadeeth no one ever begged (of Allah) with the likeness of these Surahs and no one ever sought refuge (in Allah) with the likeness of these Surahs. According to one riwaayah “recite these two Surahs when you go to sleep and when ‘you wake up”. 

===> Ayatul Kursi:Whoever read Ayatul Kursi after every Fard Salah, he will be under the protection and security of Allah. (Dailmi on the Authority of Sayeduna Ali)

Etiquette and Rules of Tilawat:

 

===>To memorize one Ayah of the Quran is Fard-e-Aeen on every Mukallaf Muslim; to memorize the entire Holy Quran is Fard-e-Kafyah; to memorize Surah Fatiha and a small Surah or something similar like three small Ayahs or one long Ayah is Wajib-e-Aeen. (Durre Mukhtar)

===>To read the Holy Quran while looking at it is better then reading without looking at it because in this case one touches the Holy Quran, sees the Holy Quran, and reads the Holy Quran and all this is Ibadat. (Bahar-e-Shariat)

===>To read the Holy Quran in the restroom and such places of impurity is not allowed (Na-Jaiz)

===>It is Haraam that everybody read the Holy Quran in a gathering loudly at once, however, it is necessary to read loudly enough so that one can hear what he/she is reading, that is, if there is no other distraction like noise. (Bhare-e-Shariat) Also, many children read together at once in a Madrsa loudly for learning purposes and this is okay.

===>It is better to read the Quran loudly that is if somebody praying, sleeping, or somebody ill will not be distracted. (Gunyah)

===>If somebody is reciting the Quran incorrectly then it is Wajib to tell him/her unless if one fears jealousy and hate. (Gunyah)

===>To memorize the Holy Quran and then to forget it is a sin.

===>It is from the ettiqutes of respecting the Holy Quran that one does not put their back towards the Quran or spread their legs towards the Quran or sit in a high place when the Quran is beneath. (Bahare Shariat)

===>During recitation reflect on what you are reading. For example, when reading about punishment, one should repent; when reading about paradise, one should rejoice and pray for Jannah.

===>The way to do Sajdah of Tilwat is as follows: If one hears or reads the Ayat of Sajdah then he should stand with the intention of performing the Sajdah of Tilawat and saying Allahu Akbar should go into Sajdah and should recite the Tasbeeh of Sajdah atleast three times. Then, saying Allahu Akbar, one should stand up. To say Allahu Akbar both times is Sunnah. Similarly, to stand before and after the Sajdah is Mustahab. (Durre Mukhtar).

 

I conclude this mail by saying All my dear brothers and sister , keep reaciting Quraan and keep teaching to other , it will benefit you enormously in this world and in hereafter. 

Ya ALLAH please guide is in ur way. AMEEN YA ALLAH
