O you who believe, abstain from many of the suspicions:

Prostitutes & Wine

Sultan Murad IV, the Sultan of the Ottoman Empire from 1623-1640, would often anonymously go into the midst of the people and see their state. One evening, he felt an uneasiness in himself and the urge to go out. He called for his head of security and out they went. They came to a busy vicinity, and found a man lying on the ground. The Sultan prodded him but he was dead and the people were going about their own business. Nobody seemed to care about the dead man lying on the ground.

The Sultan called upon the people. They didn't recognize him and asked him what he wanted. He said, "Why is this man lying dead on the ground and why does no one seem to care?

Where is his family? "They replied, "He is so and so, the drunkard and fornicator!"

The Sultan said, "Is he not from the Ummah of Muhammad SAW? Now help me carry him to his house" The people carried the dead man with the Sultan to his house and once they reached, they all left. The Sultan and his assistant remained.

When the man's wife saw his dead body, she began weeping. She said to his dead body, "Allah have mercy on you! O friend of Allah! I bear witness that you are from the pious ones.

"The Sultan was bewildered. He said, "How is he from the pious ones when the people say such and such things about him. So much so that no one even cared he was dead?"

She replied, "I was expecting that. My husband would go to the tavern every night and buy as much wine as he could. He would then bring it home and pour it all down the drain. He would then say, "I saved the Muslims a little today." He would then go to a prostitute, give her some money and tell her to close her door till the morning. He would then return home for a second time and say, "Today I saved a young woman and the youth of the believers from vice."

The people would see him buy wine and they would see him go to the prostitutes and they would consequently talk about him. One day I said to him, "When you die, there will be no one to bathe you, there will be no one to pray over you and there will be no one to bury you!"

He laughed and replied, "Don't fear, the Sultan of the believers, along with the pious ones shall pray over my body." The Sultan began crying. He said, "By Allah! He has said the truth, for I am Sultan Murad. Tomorrow we shall bathe him, pray over him and bury him." And it so happened that the Sultan, the scholars, the pious people and the masses prayed over him.

We judge people by what we see and what we hear from others. Only if we were to see what was concealed in their hearts, a secret between them and their Lord.

"O you who believe, abstain from many of the suspicions. Some suspicions are sins. And do not be curious (to find out faults of others), and do not backbite one another. Does one of you like that he eats the flesh of his dead brother? You would abhor it. And fear Allah. Surely Allah is Most-Relenting, Very-Merciful." (49:12)

*ACHIEVING TRANQUILITY* - Peace here and hereafter:

 - *What the Prophet(saw) Knew* The Prophet ﷺ and his companions knew something that is not often displayed today. They were able to face difficulty with a certain determination in their heart; they were grateful for even the seemingly small blessings; they took pleasure in praying at night while the people were asleep. What they knew was this: if they sought Allah subhanahu wa ta`ala (exalted is He) they would not be let down. This is the secret to the statement of Abu Bakr  radiAllah `anhu (ra) to the Prophet ﷺ during the battle of Badr, when the Prophet ﷺ was crying out to Allah (swt) in an impassioned du`a’(supplication) until his cloak fell from his shoulder. Abu Bakr (ra) said, “O Messenger of Allah, this prayer of yours to your Lord will suffice you, and He will fulfill for you what He has promised you!” And He did- the battle was won by the Muslims. Human desires are insatiable. And for this reason, the more we chase after the dunya (physical world), the less we are sa...

Shaikh Zia-Ur-Rahman Azami- ( Reverting to Islam in adult life, compiled a book with 16,000 hadiths):

-Watch video in urdu: Journey from Hinduism to Hadith scholar: About *One of the giants amongst the ulama, Shaikh Zia-Ur-Rahman Azami* In 1400 years no one compiled all the Sahih narrations into a single book, the shaikh did this over the span of 15 years and used over 200 books to compile a book spanning 20 volumes with no repeating Hadith, all of which were Sahih. How many Hadith has he compiled? Over 16,000. Now you can hold the Quran in one hand and say this is the Word of Allah and hold Shaikhs compilation in another hand and say this is the word of Rasool Allah. While he can't have captured 100% of Sahih Hadith in existence, he did get 99% of them. All this while being born a Hindu and converting to Islam in adult life. He has put us all to shame <3 *He was an Indian Brahman Hindu. He converted to Islam when he was 18 and his name used to be Banke Laal. He started learning the religion and his passion lead him to study at Madinah University and to become Dean of Faculty of...

Things which may prevent du’aa’ from being answered:

⚫1⃣  When the du’aa’ is weak in itself,   &#128315;because it involves something inappropriate, or   &#128315; involves bad manners towards Allaah,ﷻ,   &#128315;or it is inappropriate, which means asking Allaah for something which it is not permitted to ask, ▪e.g. &#128279; when a man asks to live forever in this world, &#128279;or he asks for a sin or something haraam, &#128279;or he prays that he will die, and so on. ✨Abu Hurayrah (رضي الله عنه) said: The Prophet (ﷺ) said: *“A person's du’aa’s will continue to be answered so long as he does not pray for something sinful or for the breaking of family ties.”*      〰Muslim.〰               ▬▣◾&#128280;◾▣▬ ⚫2⃣  When the perso...

REVITALIZING HIGHER EDUCATION IN THE MUSLIM WORLD:

By: Tʜe ɪɴteʀɴatɪoɴaʟ ɪɴstɪtute of ɪsʟamɪc tʜouɢʜt Loɴdoɴ• wasʜɪɴɢtoɴ "Some of these issues have been addressed by Muslim educators but in a piece-meal fashion. Little attention however, has been paid to a comprehensive probe into the decline of educational standards across the Muslim world. Consequently, the combined scholastic productivity of Muslims remains at the lowest rung" "Muslim scholarship constitutes an asset. We must therefore, devote ourselves to continually enhance its value not only for the Ummah but for the entire world to the ideals of a free, democratic, and just society".  "The Ummah and its people’s desire to catch up with the developed world and enjoy high and truly human standards of living, education, and health is an aspiration that continues to be unfulfilled".  Click to read the above report ; And For more similar reports click this link:

*It seems that every day the west is discovering that Halal / Islamic Sharia has benefits*:

Author unknown but needs reflection.... *French/ Hijab/ Niqab and Coronavirus* 😀 *French newspapers have announced that Muslim women who wear the Niqab* (full face covering) *have no fear of contacting the Coronavirus* since they do not shake hands or kiss other people and have their face covered. *It seems that every day the west is discovering that Halal / Islamic Sharia has benefits*. However I am holding my breath for French women to start wearing Hijab let alone the Niqab. Aussies are panic buying toilet tissue rolls as well as other commodities. *However some are now using water to wash* (instead of wiping with tissue). Water which is more hygienic, cleaner and refreshing. *Another Sharia requirement*. *Early Muslims in a village in Arabia had the plague* and it was mentioned to them by the Holy Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) that they had to stay in their village until the disease is conquered. *That was 1400 years ago*, now modern countries are applying the same Shariah ru...
