Last Sermon of Prophet Mohammed (Peace be upon him):

*THIS SERMON WAS DELIVERED ON THE NINTH DAY OF DHUL-HIJJAH 10 AD IN THE URANAH VALLEY OF MOUNT ARRAFAT*

*"O people, lend me an attentive ear, for I know not whether, after this year, I shall ever be amongst you again. Therefore listen to what I am saying to you very carefully and TAKE THESE TO THOSE WHO COULD NOT BE PRESENT HERE TODAY.*

*O people, just as you regard this month, this day, this city as sacred, so regard the life and property of every muslim as a sacred trust. Return the goods entrusted to you to their rightful owners. Hurt no one so that no one may hurt you. Remember that you will indeed meet your lord and that He will indeed reckon your deeds. ALLAH has forbidden you to take usury (interest). Therefore all interst obligation shall henceforth be waived.*

*Beware of Satan, for the safety of your religion. He has lost all hope that he will ever be able to lead you astray in things, so beware of following him in small things.*

*O people, it is true that you have the right with regards to your woman, but they also have rights over you. If they abide by your rights then to them belong the right to be fed and clothed in kindness. Do treat your women well and be kind to them for they are your partners and committed helpers. And it approve, as well as never commit adultery.*

*O people, listen to me in earnest, worship ALLAH, say your five time daily prayers (salat) fast during the month of ramadan, and give your wealth in zakat. Perform Hajj if you can afford to. You know that every muslim is the brother of another muslim. YOU ARE ALL EQUAL.. No body has superiority over another except by piety and good action.*

*Remember, one day you will appear before ALLAH and answer for your deeds. O beware, do not stray from the part of righteousness after I am gone.*

*O people, NO PROPHET OR APOSTLE WILL COME AFTER ME AND NO NEW FAITH WILL BE BORN. Reason well, therefore people, understand my word, which I convey to you. I leave behind me two things, the QURAN and my SUNNAH and if you follow these you will not go astray.*

*All those who listen to me shall pass on my words to others and those to others again, and may the last understand my words better than those who listen to me directly. Be my witness O ALLAH, that I have conveyed your message to your people"*

Rasoolullah's ﷺ Shoes and Leather Socks:

Rasoolullah (ﷺ) wore shoes like sandals or slippers. Rasoolullah (ﷺ) also wore black leather socks and during Wadhu passed his moist hanks over them (made Masah). His shoes had two straps between the toes (Uswah: Mirqaat). There was a strap at the back as well. The Shoes of Rasoolullah (ﷺ) were one span and two fingers long and 7 fingers wide; there was a space of two fingers between the two straps at the toe end (Uswah) Rasoolullah (ﷺ)used to wear shoes made of leather that was smooth after the removal of the animal hair, and after wadhu He would place his feet into them because they were pure and made in such a way that his toes would thouch the ground. (Uswah) Rasoolullah (ﷺ) also wore shoes made of smooth leather. (Mishkaat) Rasoolullah (ﷺ) would would grip his shoes with his left thumb and index finger. (Shamaail Tirmidhi) Hazrat Anas (Radiallahhu’ anhu) narrates that from the sunnah is that one should remove his shoes and place them to the left side when sitting. (Mishkaat) Sourc...

A key insight into the development of your child:

THIS WAS DELIVERED BY SHAYKH AKRAM NADWI IN A CONFERENCE AT THE AZHAR UNIVERSITY, CAIRO. DEPT OF ISLAMIC PSYCHOLOGY EDUCATION. - The purpose of marriage is to have children and then educate them to worship Allah SWT. - When a child is born, a mother and father are also born. - The personal development of the parents is just as important as that of the child. This point is often overlooked. - Modern education seeks to incorporate people into the economy - to make money. Islamic education seeks to train people to become 'good' individuals, in terms of their character etc. 'Good' meaning to prepare for the Hereafter. - Your children, before they are your children, they are the slaves of Allah. His rights over them precede your rights. - Your duty is to teach them and provide them guidance - not to make them pious. You will be questioned whether you taught them right or not. - Parents need to realise they too are slaves of Allah. His rights over them precede their...

- Quran Juz 5 – Wal Muhsanaat Summary Join Us: https://chat.whatsapp.com/EwGX2NFn95O2Bo92HkyyiI • While the 4th Juz ended with the list of women relatives who cannot be married with, the 5th Juz completes this topic by saying that all other women are permissible to get married to, in exchange of Mehr, provided the intention is to start a family, not to attain a temporary enjoyment. • Verse 26 of Aal Imran talks about the two sides of Allah’s mercy: 1. The adherence to the Shariah brings about safety of everyone’s wealth, life, and honor. 2. With the mention of the incidents of the past in the Quran, Allah asks us to have a balanced approach and to reap its goodness. • Wishful desires lead to distress and depression, whereas adherence to the Shariah not just brings peace but takes a person off from the burdens of unwanted rituals, misleading beliefs...

Understand prayers we offer:

Fard : obligatory prayer Sunnah : Prophet's tradition Wajib: obligatory prayer (Denying a Fard makes one a non-Muslim but denying a Wajib makes one a sinner. One must make up any missed Fard or Wajib prayers.) Nafl : voluntary prayer And again how sunnah is divided: The sunnah are again divided into Sunnah Muakkadah and Sunnah Ghair Muakkadah. Sunnah Muakkadah: means an act that Prophet Muhammad, Sall-Allahu alayhi wa sallam, always used to do. These rakats must be offered. (However if missed, there is no makeup or qada for it). Sunnah Ghair Muakkadah: are sunnahs that Prophet Muhammad, Sall-Allahu alayhi wa sallam, used to leave sometimes without any reason. These are not obligatory. Thanks for reading. I felt many of us have lack of clarity on this basic concept of Namaz we offer. Jazakallah hu khair. Source: Received as whatsaap message. Republished in this blog.

Tarbiyah vs. Ta’leem

Sh. Salman al-Odah was asked, “How do you get your kids to love the salah?” The first thing he said was, “Have them love you.” Learn this life lesson: tarbiyah is founded upon relationship. Tarbiyah is the raising up and education of a child such that she can reach her full potential as a human and a Muslim. It is different than ta’leem, which refers to fact-based education. We often confuse the two, giving our children ta’leem when they need tarbiyah. Ta’leem is teaching our children the how-to of the prayer. Memorizing the duas, learning the positions. Tarbiyah is the cuddling after the prayer when we ask each other, “What did you ask for in sajdah?” Ta’leem is memorizing ahadeeth and verses. Tarbiyah is the dinner-table banter where we talk current events and other issues on our mind. Ta’leem is studying fiqh. Tarbiyah is the loving conversation we have about an incident that happened at school. Ta’le...

Quran Juz 11 – Ya’taziroon - Summary:

- Quran Juz 11 – Ya’taziroon Summary Join Us: https://chat.whatsapp.com/EwGX2NFn95O2Bo92HkyyiI • 11th Juz continues to talk about those hypocrites who didn’t accompany Prophet Muhammed ﷺ in the Expedition of Tabuk. Allah says that they thought that the Muslims will lose the war and thus refrained from joining. But Allah kept the morale of the Islamic infantry high, as the Byzantines didn’t turn up at Tabuk at all for the combat. • Before Prophet Muhammed ﷺ returned to Madinah from Tabuk, Allah informed him that the hypocrites will give him lame excuses, and asked him ﷺ to tell the same to the hypocrites. • Verse 98 of Surah Tawbah talked about two types of Arab nomadic villagers: 1. The ones who regarded money spending in the way of Allah as a compulsory fine, and looked forward to misfortunes befalling on Muslims. 2. Those who saw the money spending in Allah’s way as a means of attaining nearness to Allah, and earning the prophet’s ﷺ supplications for themselves. • A...

A believer's story of a Quarintine:

Assalamu Alaikum Alhamdhulillah ... By the grace of Almighty Allah, I reached home yesterday by the Delhi... Trivandrum special train. And now I'm under home quarantine for two weeks in the upper flat of our residence. My children and grandchildren are all away, so strict quarantine is made easy. I request you all to make Dhua for ease. We started for Nizaamudheen on the 11th of February, from Kollam ( Ab. Kareem Sb of Poredam, Thaha Sr of Pattazy and myself ), to spend two months in Nizaamudheen Markaz for Thartheeb. But eventually, as you know, things took a different course. Insha Allah, it will be exactly 4 months on 11th June, when we finish the ongoing quarantine. We were put in forced quarantine for 58 days in 4 different quarantine camps in Delhi without periodic tests. The entire Ramadhaan and Edul Fithr was spent in the camps. We had the unique distinction of having total vegitarian food for a full Ramadhaan and even on t...
