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.

*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...

My Tryst with Urdu and Journey so far:

 - By: Iqbal Sattar Dear friend. I was educated up to 3rd standard in Dharwad in Government Urdu School. Our Teacher with white pagadi and hanging back portion was so nice. My father was an Education officer in Dharwad. He established many Urdu Schools, in Dharwad, Bijapur, Belgaum and Karwar. He used his approach to Urdu Schools in villages for community outreach. I completed my 7th in Belgaum Government Urdu School and SSC ie XIth in Islamiya High School Camp Belgaum. These 11 years of Urdu medium strengthen my love for Education. The teachers in those days were devoted. Our Headmasters and principal Late Adam Jamadar, were great personalities.  Library, newspaper, reading books, discussion, allocution competitions, sports, science exhibition, and Drama competition were part of Education. We learnt good English, Persian, Kannada and Marathi along with Urdu. The interaction with teachers was wonderful. My principal had called me in his office and corrected my Aswersheet for 3...

Some of the traditional methods of raising children in Tarim (Yemen):

*Raising children* Some of the traditional methods of raising children in Tarim (Yemen). This is really beautiful. Women expecting children would ensure every morsel going into their mouths was halal. Breastfeeding mothers would repeatedly recite Ayah al-Kursi, Surah al-Falaq, Surah al-Nas and du'as of protection over their babies. When a child first began to speak it would be taught to say: رَضِيتُ بِاللهِ رَبّاً، وبِالإِسْلامِ دِيناً، و بسيِّدِنَا مُحَمَّدٍ صلى الله عليه وسلم نَبِيَّاً ورَسُولاً ‘I am content with Allah as my Lord, with Islam as my religion, and with our Master Muhammad ﷺ as my Prophet and Messenger.’ Parents would teach their children the importance of making good intentions and what intentions to make just as they would teach them how to recite Surat al-Fatiha. Parents would teach their children to call upon Allah in every situation. If a child asked for something, his parents would tell him to perform wudu, pray two rak'ats and then ask Allah to fulfil his...

WOMEN ARE THE BIGGEST TEMPTATION (fitnah) FOR MEN & THIS IS THE TRUTH (sharee’ah closes all doors that may lead to evil)::

- ALLAH says in surah al-Imran: aya 14: ﴿زُيّنَ لِلنَّاسِ حُبُّ الشَّهَوتِ مِنَ النّسَآء وَالْبَنِينَ وَالْقَنَـطِيرِ ..... ""Beautified for men is the love of things they covet; women, children, Qanatir Al-Muqantarah of gold and silver,...... ALLAH started with women, because the test with them is more TEMPTING. For instance, the Sahih recorded that the Messenger (sallallahu alaihi wasallam) said,  «مَا تَرَكْتُ بَعْدِي فِتْنَةً أَضَرَّ عَلَى الرِّجَالِ مِنَ النِّسَاء»  “I have not left behind me any fitnah (temptation) more harmful to men than women.” (Narrated by al-Bukhaari, 5096; Muslim, 2740.)  & It is reported that ‘Abdullâh b. Mas’ûd – radhi allahu anhu – said: If I had ten days left to live, and I knew I would die by the end of them, and I had enough time to get married, I would get married for FEAR of temptation (fitnah of women).

و قليل من عبادي الشكور ‘And few of My servants are grateful.’ (Qur’an 34:13)”

🕋🕌 Words of Wisdom🕋🕌 This❤ When Umar bin al-Khattab (رضي الله عنه) was walking in the market, he passed by a man who was supplicating, اللهم اجعلني من القليل اللهم اجعلني من القليل “O Allah, make me from the few! O Allah make me from the few!” So ‘Umar said to him; “Where did you get this du`a’ (supplication) from?” And the man said; “Allah in His Book says: و قليل من عبادي الشكور ‘And few of My servants are grateful.’ (Qur’an 34:13)” So ‘Umar wept and admonished himself; “The people are more knowledgeable than you, O Umar! O Allah make us from Your ‘few’ servants.” Sometimes when you advise someone to leave a sin, they respond with “But everybody does it, it’s not just me!” But if you look for the words “most people” in the Qur’an, you will find that most people - ولكن اكثرهم لا يعلمون “And however most people do not know” (7:187) ولكن أكثرهم لا يشكرون - “and most people do not show gratitude” (2:243) and و لكن اكثر الناس لا يؤمنون - “and most people do not believe” (11:17). And i...

When we know it, we should act: that's the aim of knowledge:

💔 We used to know but we didn't act Ibnul Qayyim (RA) said, "A girl died of the plague and her father saw her in his dream. He said, 'my daughter, tell me about the hereafter. So she said, 'We've approached a serious matter. We used to know but we didn't act. I swear by Allah, to add one tasbeehah (saying Subhan Allah) or a single Rak'ah to my book of deeds is more beloved to me than the whole world and everything in it.' This girl said words of great importance. 'We used to know but we didn't act', but many of us don't understand what she means. We used to know, that if we say Subhan Allah wa bi Hamdihi 100 times our sins are forgiven even if they're like the foam of the sea (yet days and nights pass and we don't say it) We used to know that two rak'ahs of Duha prayer is the equivalent of giving 360 charities (yet day after day pass and we don't pray it) We used to know that a house in the middle of Jannah ...
