He (s.a.w) spoke concisely, where the words are less and meaning more:

Imaam Hasan Radiyallahu Anhu says: "I asked my (maternal) uncle Hind bin Abi Haalah (ra), who always described the noble features of Rasulullah Sallallahu 'Alayhi Wasallam, to describe to me the manner in which Rasulullah Sallallahu 'Alayhi Wasallam spoke. He replied that Rasulullah Sallallahu Alayhi'Wasallam was always worried (about the hereafter). And was always busy thinking (about the attributes of Allah and the betterment of the ummah). Because of these things he was never free from thought and never rested (or because of worldly affairs he did not gain rest, but gained rest and contentment from religious well being. It is mentioned in the hadith that the coolness of my eyes is in salaah). He always spoke clearly from beginning to end. (He did not speak in a manner where only half sentences are spoken and the other half remained in the mind of the speaker, as is prevalent among snobbish high-minded and proud people). He spoke concisely, where the words are less and meaning more. (Mulla 'Ali Qaari has collected forty such ahaadith in his commentary which are very short. Those who wish may refer to it and memorise it). Every word was clearer than the previous one. There was no nonsensical talk, nor was there 'half-talks' where the meaning was not complete and could not be grasped. He was not short-tempered, nor did he disgrace anyone. He always greatly appreciated the blessings of Allah even though it might be very minute, he did not criticize it. He did not criticize food, nor over-praised it (The reason for not criticizing food is clear, that it is a blessing from Allah. The reason for not praising it is because it might be felt that one is
gluttonous.

Nevertheless, he praised food if it was to make someone happy, and sometimes praised some special things). He was never angered for anything materialistic. (The reason being that he did not pay much attention, and did not care much about materialistic things). If someone exceeded the limits in religious matters or against the truth, he became so angry that no one could endure it, nor could anybody stop it till he avenged it. If for some reason he made a gesture or pointed at
something, he did it with a full hand. (The 'ulama say the reason being that it is against humbleness to point with one finger only. Some 'ulama say it was his noble habit to signal the oneness of Allah with one finger,
therefore he did not signal anyone in that manner).

When he was surprised by something he turned his hand, and when he spoke
sometimes while talking, he moved his hands, he sometimes hit the palm of his right hand with the inside part of his left thumb. When he became angry with someone, he turned his face away from that person,
and did not pay attention to that person, or he forgave that person.

When he was happy due to humility it seemed as if he had closed his eyes. The laugh of Rasulullah Sallallahu 'Alayhi Wasallam was mostly a smile, at that moment his mubaarak front teeth glittered like white
shining hailstone.

Rasoolullah's ï·º Shoes and Leather Socks:

His shoes had two straps between the toes (Uswah: Mirqaat). There was a strap at the back as well. The Shoes of Rasoolullah (ï·º) 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 (ï·º)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 (ï·º) also wore shoes made of smooth leather. (Mishkaat) Rasoolullah (ï·º) would would grip his shoes with his left thumb and index finger.

Quran Juz 14 – Rubama - Summary:

Quran Juz 14 – Rubama Summary Join Us: https://chat.whatsapp.com/EwGX2NFn95O2Bo92HkyyiI • Surah Hijr: This Juz starts with Surah Hijr (the chapter’s first verse is in Juz 13 though), which talks about the people living in the Valley of Hijr (Hegra) i.e. the Tribe of Thamud.  • This brief chapter is uniquely themed at the foundational principles of Islam: Tawheed (Oneness of Allah), Risalah (messengership), and the Hereafter. • Allah tells Prophet Muhammed ï·º that though the disbelievers do not wish to accept Islam, a time will come when they wish they should have accepted it. • As per a hadith, this will happen when they’ll see some Muslims too in Hell, undergoing a punishment. The disbelievers who knew them in life one earth will then taunt them and say that they were Muslims and how come they are in Hell. • However, at the completion of the Muslims’ punishment tenure, Allah will place them in the Heaven. Seeing it, the disbelievers will wish that they should have accepte...

Islam is overall a religion of perseverance and tolerance. In short a religion of patience:

-  July 29 2021 (The original speech was in urdu, after that it is translated into English text by Mohsin sir) Surah Al kahf. Meaning of patience explained:  *By famous scholar of Islam Ibn Ul Qayyim in his book "Patience and Gratitude."*  "It means stronger common sense and religious motives."  *Patience has a different role in different aspects.*  * When controlling sexual desires it's called honor (waqaar). *When restraining greed it's self control(tahammul) *When used in anger management it's forbearance (bardaashth). *When refraining from haste and hurry it's gracefulness (Shaistaa). *When refraining from running away it's courage (bahaduri). *When avoiding revenge/retaliation it's forgiveness (Maafi). *When refraining from stinginess (kanjoosi) it's generosity (Sakhawath).

Discipline is not oppression, it is love in action:

 - *The Perils of Pampering: Raising Disciplined, God-Conscious Children*   In a world that glorifies instant gratification, indulgence, and materialism, we risk raising a generation that lacks resilience, respect, and responsibility. The saying, *"A pampered child becomes a spoiled adult,"* holds profound truth. If we fail to discipline our children today, we may find ourselves helplessly watching them struggle tomorrow or worse, witnessing them turn into entitled, inconsiderate adults.   *Discipline is not oppression, it is love in action*. It is the framework that shapes a child’s character, teaching them that life does not always bend to their will. If we refuse to instill these values at home, the world will teach them often in ways we would never approve of.   Islam places immense emphasis on disciplined upbringing. The Prophet Muhammad (ï·º) said:   > *"Command your children to pray at the age of seven, and discipline them for it at t...

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...

Before the Sadaqa reaches the one who needs it, it reaches the hands of Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta’alah first:

 - *A true story* Let me tell you a story about a teacher This teacher was trying to collect money from other teachers to furnish the Musallah (prayer room) of the school and fix an AC unit. She said: I never gave up; I used to talk to the teachers every day and remind them of the great reward of this deed. I was collecting bit by bit hoping to reach the needed target, it took me almost a month. One day one of my colleagues said: Enough, you are really disturbing us! You keep asking all the time. I said: WAllahi it’s a great cause and it is the path to Jannah in shaa Allah, give anything even if it’s one Riyal. She said if I give you a Riyal would you leave us alone. I answered: Yes, in shaa Allah. She then took a Riyal from her handbag and threw it at me! The teacher who was collecting the money says: I completed collection from my family and friends and Alhamdulilah I managed to collect what I thought would be enough to furnish the Musallah and buy the AC unit. Then she says: WAl...

Eid Mubarak: Beyond the Festivities, Towards a Lifetime of Reflection:

 - ##  Eid Mubarak to you and your loved ones! As the crescent moon graces the sky, marking the end of Ramadan, we are filled with joy, gratitude, and a sense of spiritual renewal. The month of fasting, prayer, and reflection has drawn to a close, leaving behind a beautiful tapestry of shared experiences and strengthened faith. This Eid, as we gather with family and friends, exchanging warm greetings and savoring delicious treats, let's also take a moment to reflect on the profound lessons Ramadan has imparted. We've nurtured patience, empathy, and a deeper connection with our spiritual selves. We've learned the power of self-discipline and the beauty of giving. However, the true essence of Ramadan lies not just in the month itself, but in the lasting impact it has on our lives. The spirit of generosity, the commitment to prayer, the dedication to self-improvement – these are not fleeting practices to be abandoned once Eid arrives. This Eid, let's make a conscious effor...

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...
