Nabi صلي الله عليه وسلم said: "I saw Mus'ab and there was no youth more petted than he. Then he abandoned all that for the love of Allah and His prophet.":

The Waqia of-
Mus'ab Bin Umair رضي الله عنه

He lies buried in the blood-wet earth of Uhud, feet covered by scented grass and body wrapped in a woolen sheet, not sufficient enough to cover him completely.
He was a pampered son who wore the best clothing his rich mother's money could buy.
His itr scented the streets as he walked.
He was the talk of the belles of Makkah, the jewel of his peers eyes, the most flamboyant young man of the Quraish.
He left a life of self-pleasure to gain the pleasure of Allah.

Mus'ab bin Umair one day heard what the people of Makkah had begun to hear about Muhammad صلي الله عليه وسلم and his religion and this lad was the most attentive of listeners.
He decided to approach Nabi صلي الله عليه وسلم to determine the truth of his message.
One night, instead of joining his friends in their customary revelry, he made his way to Dar-al-Arqam. Mus'ab رضي الله عنه sat down amongst the gathering of the faithful and heard Nabi صلي علىه و سلم
reciting verses of the Quran. From that moment on, he forgot his life of luxury and discovered the key to eternal life.

Mus'ab's path to Islam was not easy. His mother, Khunnas bint Malik, who was feared by her sharp temper and sharper tongue was his chief opponent.
In order to avoid unpleasant confrontation with his mother, Mus'ab رضي الله عنه concealed his Islam from her. However, people found him frequenting Dar Al Arqam and saw him coming under the influence of Nabi صلي الله عليه وسلم.
It wasn't long before news of his conversion reached his mother.
When Mus'ab refused to leave Islam as per his mother's commands, she had him shackled and imprisoned in a corner of the house.
News of the first hijra reached Mus'ab and how his heart longed to join his brothers. He managed to delude his mother and the guards and escaped to Abyssinia with other emigrants.

When Mus'ab returned from Abyssinia, his mother resolved to imprison him again but he vowed that if she attempted that, he would kill all those who assisted her in locking him up. She knew the intensity of his determination and so, she bade him a final farewell, crying bitterly:
"Go away, I am no longer your mother!"
At this, Mus'ab went close to her and said: "oh mother, I am advising you and my heart is with you, please bear witness that there is no God but Allah and Muhammad is His servant and messenger."
Enraged, she swore, "By the stars! I will never enter your religion to degrade my status and weaken my senses!"

Once, a group of Sahaba were sitting with Nabi صلي الله عليه وسلم when they saw him approach. They lowered their heads and shed silent tears at the sight of the pampered youth moving about worn-out patches, held together by thorns.
When he left the gathering, Nabi صلي الله عليه وسلم said: "I saw Mus'ab and there was no youth more petted than he. Then he abandoned all that for the love of Allah and His prophet."

Nabi صلي الله عليه وسلم despatched Mus'ab رضي الله عنه to Madina, to teach its inhabitants Quran and the regulations of Islam. It was through him that great men such as Usaid bin Hudair and Sa'ad bin Muaz became Sahaba.

He was martyred in Uhud, after bravely combatting the enemies.
After the battle, Nabi صلي الله عليه وسلم
Came to the battleground to bury the martyrs. Pausing at Mus'ab's body, he shed many tears.
There wasn't enough material to cover Mus'ab... He left nothing behind except a sheet of shredded woolen cloth that didn't cover his feet.
Allah light up his resting place with divine noor and imbue our hearts with the love and recognition of the Sahaba رضي الله عنهم أجمعين

The moment we realize that everything happens by the will of Allaah, all our worries begin to fade away:

 - (external source) 🌷 *Whatever Allaah does......it's for our best*🌷 When my daughter was 2 years old, she loved to play with the water in the toilet bowl.  Yes, that's right.... *the toilet bowl!!* Yuck!!  That's nasty...you would say!!  But to *her*, that was the *delight of the day!*  Splish...splash!  To her innocent mind, there was nothing like it!  And so when I would prevent her from playing with it, she would scream and cry and wouldn't want to stop.  She didn't understand how harmful that was for her.  In her little brain, I took away something that she really enjoyed.   And when I would take her to the doctor to have her immunization shots, she wouldn't understand that either.  She would *howl* at the top of her lungs at the first sight of the needle and would run the other way.  It would take two of us just to hold her down!  To her, it was nothing but *torture*!  Her innocent little mind...

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...

Why Pork (pig meat) is Haram in Islam? Some scientific observations:

Why Pork is Haram in Islam ~ In the Qur'an Allah has forbidden pork. Do you know that pork is forbidden by Jews, and its forbidden in Bible too. 15 Things You Should Know About Pigs: 1) A pig is a real garbage gut. It will eat anything including urine, excrement, dirt, decaying animal flesh, maggots, or decaying vegetables. They will even eat the cancerous growths off other pigs or animals. 2) The meat and fat of a pig absorbs toxins like a sponge. Their meat can be 30 times more toxic than beef or venison. 3) When eating beef or venison, it takes 8 to 9 hours to digest the meat so what little toxins are in the meat are slowly put into our system and can be filtered by the liver. But when pork is eaten, it takes only 4 hours to digest the meat. We thus get a much higher level of toxins within a shorter time. 4) Unlike other mammals, a pig does not sweat or perspire. Perspiration is a means by which toxins are removed from the body. Since a pig does not sweat, the toxins re...

His famous saying, “Seek knowledge from the cradle to the grave,” underscores the importance of continuous learning: The kind teacher-

 - While majority are celebrating Teacher's Day, below is my reflection about a teacher: *Prophet Muhammad: A Teacher for All Times* Prophet Muhammad, the prophet of Islam, is not only revered as a religious figure but is also celebrated as a remarkable teacher whose teachings continue to inspire and guide millions of people across the globe. His role as a teacher extends far beyond the boundaries of religion, and his teachings serve as a timeless source of wisdom and guidance for people of all backgrounds and beliefs. *The Role of Prophet Muhammad as a Teacher Moral and Ethical Guidance:*   Prophet Muhammad’s teachings are characterized by a strong emphasis on moral and ethical values. He taught the importance of honesty, integrity, compassion, and justice. His actions and sayings, recorded in Hadiths (sayings and actions of the Prophet), provide a profound moral compass for individuals striving to lead virtuous lives. *Social Justice:* The Prophet advocated for social justic...

The salaf would be happy and optimistic when worldly difficulties stuck them:

-  Worldly Difficulties | - The Salaf would be happy and optimistic when something of this world became difficult for them. I never quite understood this statement. Were they happy and optimistic because a difficulty meant eventual ease, as is Allāh’s promise? Was it out of anticipation of a fulfilment of a worldly need? Or was there something more to it? Then it occurred to me after many years of returning to this statement that a man who sets out to find work and finds it easily and effortlessly is a man who misses out on a grand opportunity of begging Allāh and raising his worries and concerns to Him. The man who faces road blocks inevitably finds himself humble, submissive and desperate at the door of Allāh ﷻ. A man who goes in search of a job, a wife, a car, a home, some wealth and gets it readily each and every time isn’t necessarily successful. A man who can easily dip into his plentiful resources and fulfil a need perhaps misses out on the opportunity of turning to Allāh in...

Eid al-Adha Mubarak:

 - Eid al-Adha  teaches us lessons of devotion and sacrifice. The obedience to Allah, the sacrifice, and the selfless loyalty of  Prophet Ibrahim (Abraham), peace be upon him, and Prophet Ismail (Ishmael), peace be upon him,  were so beloved by Allah, the Lord of all creation, that He decreed them to be observed by believers until the Day of Judgment. On this blessed and joyous occasion of Eid al-Adha, with reliance on the Almighty Allah and adherence to the teachings of His Prophets, and with prayers for the establishment of unity and solidarity worldwide,  this humble servant extends Eid al-Adha greetings to you and your family.
