*The Day of Arafah- What you should know about this:

*The Day of Arafah (YOU WON'T REGRET READING THIS insha'Allah)*

We've all heard so much about Arafah and its virtues, so much so that it has almost turned out to become mere facts just being related on repeat! 

*Ask yourself ⁉️*: 

▪️Have I actually internalized and comprehended what Arafah is?
▪️Have I truly understood the MAGNITUDE of this magnificent Day?
▪️Am I going to let it pass like any other ordinary day?

Well, let me tell you in short why your heart should be racing so fast just at the thought of being blessed with the opportunity of witnessing this tremendous Day!

1️⃣ It is the *BEST* day the sun has ever risen or will rise upon!
2️⃣ It is the Day on which Allah perfected His religion, *completed His favors* upon us and approved for us Islam as a way of life!
3️⃣ It is the Day Allah *frees* the most number of His slaves from the Hell-Fire.
4️⃣ It is the ONLY day Allah, The Most High *descends to the lowest heaven in the day time* (a descention in way 
that  befits Him, Glory be to Him)
5️⃣ It is the Day Allah *praises (shows off)*, His righteous slaves to the angles!

Ya Subhanallah! By Allah only a wretched person will let this Day go past him in a state of heedlessness!

*⭕What is the best thing I can do on this day?* 

DU'AA, DU'AA and DU'AA!

Yes, that's it! The Prophet ﷺ said: *"The best dua'a is the du'aa on the Day of Arafah"* 

 *⭕When does this special time begin?*

عشية عرفة

Majority of the scholars say that it is from Dhuhr to Maghrib or just a little before Asr to Maghrib.

This whole time for du'aa? YES!
Do you feel a little overwhelmed? How do I start my du'aa? How do I organize it? How do I get it all right?

*⭕Here are 7 EASY points to categorize your Du'aa into*:

1️⃣ *Start by praising, and glorifying Allah*. Reach onto Him through His beautiful names. Don't rush. Praise Him till your heart feels content, for He is indeed worthy of ALL praise. Look up du'aas from the Qur'aan and authentic Sunnah on this regard.

2️⃣ *Send Salutations upon Rasoolullah ﷺ*. Again, don't rush. Take your time. Internalize what it means to send salutations upon him. Bear witness that Rasoolullah fulfilled his responsibility and passed  the message (of Islam) the way it had to be. 

3️⃣ *Thank Allah and show Him gratitude for ALL his blessings  upon you, and seek refuge in Him from the removal of His blessings*
Take your time! Try going through each and every blessing that comes to your mind and thank Allah for it. Blessing of Islam. Blessing of health. Blessing of parents. Blessing of safety. Etc etc. Be specific! Be personal!

4️⃣ *Istighfar, Repentance*. Humble yourself in front of Allah. Own up to Him for all your sins. Beg Him to forgive you. Cry your heart out! Again take your time. Do  not rush!

5️⃣ *YOUR personal time, ask Allah for ALL you want in THIS LIFE pertaining your deen and dunya*. Wealth, health, marriage, guidance, righteousness, success. Anything and everything pour it out with a heart full of conviction that Allah is listening and He knows and will answer!

6️⃣ *Al Barzakh, The AFTER LIFE*. Here you make du'aas pertaining moments before death, after death, the grave, the Day of Judgement, the Siraat, Jannah, protection from Hell-Fire Etc. Ask Allah to grant you a good ending. Ask Allah for firmness at the time of questioning. Etc. 

7️⃣ *End by sending salutations upon Rasoolullah ﷺ*. Ask Allah to grant you His intercession on the Day of Judgement. Ask Allah to grant you a drink from his Houdh.

🛑Take your time through each category. Pause. Relflect. Humble yourself, breakdown in front of Allah. Show Him your weakness and surrender to Him with utmost humility. 

🛑The Prophet ﷺ said:
*"خير الدعاء دعاء يوم عرفة، وخير ما قلت أنا والنبيون من قبلي لا إله إلا الله وحده لا شريك له، له الملك وله الحمد وهو على كل شيء قدير"*

"The best supplication is on the Day of Arafat and the best supplication said by me and the prophets before me: There is no God but Allah alone, He has no partner. To Allah is the dominion, and to Him is the praise and He is Capable of all things" 

So every now and then in the midst of your du'aas say:
 لا اله الا الله وحده لا شريك له له الملك وله الحمد وهو على كل قدير.

🛑 When you make any duaa, include your parents, grandparents, offspring, your offsprings offspring and the Muslims.

I pray Allah allows you to make the most of this precious day. I pray He guides you to make the best of du'aas. I pray He accepts from you. I pray He grants you guidance and elevates your status in this life and the next! Aameen.

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...

*​❧ Allah Ta’ala ki sifaat mein shirk:* ❧ Allah Ta'ala ki sifaat mein shirk ka matlab yeh hai ke jo sifaat Allah Ta'ala ke saath khaas hain, un ko kisi doosre ke liye maanna jaise Allah Ta'ala ke alaawa kisi ko rozi dene waala aur aulaad dene waala samajhna, kisi Nabi aur wali ke baare mein yeh aqeeda rakhna ke un ko khuda ki tarah gaib ki tamaam baaton ka ilm hai, Allah Ta'ala ki tarah kisi doosre ko ibaadat ka mustahiq samajhna aur us ke liye ibaadat ka koi fel karna jaise kisi qabr par ya kisi buzurg ke saamne sajda karna, kisi paigambar aur wali ke naam ka roza rakhna aur un ke naam par jaanwar zabah karna wagaira wagaira. ❧ Gunaahon mein kufr-o-shirk sab se bade gunah hain, kufr-o-shirk toba ke bagair hargiz maaf nahin hote, kufr-o-shirk ki haalat mein marne waala hamesha Jahannam mein rahega. ❧ Qur‘aan Majeed mein Allah Ta'ala ne shirk ke baare mein farmaaya: “Beshak Allah Ta'ala shirk ko maaf nahin karega aur is ke alaawa ji...

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...

Why are our young generation being so impatient, why aint there mutual understanding in marriages these days:

 - An eye opener!  Recently in sunday's siasat newspaper someone gave an ad for second marriage as he lost his wife last year. Hundreds of proposals received in 2 days..But it was extremely shocking and sad that 99% proposals came from girls who took khula from their previous marriage and all of them were highly qualified girls..some being post graduates, mbbs, mtech, btech, Bed, Med etc. Not a single proposal came from from uneducated girls. Wonder as to why is this happening! Girls are taking khula within a year of marriage..Is this the impact of education? Is being highly educated making them ultimately incompatible for marriage. And marrying someone who is beneath them in terms of educational credentials leads to ego clashes...some of these girls were single after 7 years of khula, some since 5 years while others 3 years..Its extremely pathetic that this is happening in muslim society, why are our young generation being so impatient, why aint there mutual understanding in ...

The meaning of the word "Allah" (God):

 - **A young Spanish woman explains the meaning of the word "Allah" (God) **    *This young Spanish woman is currently studying a master's degree in Arabic at the University of Yarmouk, in Jordan.  One day, during a second-year class, professor Fakhry Kattaneh asked his students a question:*    **"Who of you can tell me about the divine name (Allah), from a miraculous and sonorous linguistic point of view?"**    *No one raised their hand except a young Spanish woman called Helen, who speaks fluent classical Arabic despite being Spanish and Christian.  She said:*    > "The most beautiful thing I have ever read in Arabic is the name 'Allah'. The way this name is pronounced in the human language has a unique melody, as its sounds come from the back of the throat, not the lips.    > The divine name is not pronounced with the lips, as it does not contain dots.  Now pronounce the name 'Allah' and understand how you do...

Quran recitation, amazing voice:

 - Click to listen: السلام عليكم ورحمة الله و بركاته  Saeed Noor from Sudan  Rare recitation style !!!! in the early 1930’s and 40’s he would recite Quran that would stop people on their tracks . Train and bus drivers would stop vehicles open the doors and listen if they so happened to catch him as he walked on reciting Quran as he so often did . He refused countless efforts bY the Egyptian radio to record his voice as he feared fitnah.  In late 1940 he went to perform Hajj where he was welcomed by the Saudi Government and after much pressure from king AbdulAziz who loved his voice he accepted to record some quran in Makkah which was given as a gift to the pilgrims . The king offered him residency which he turned down. He passed away rahimuhullah in the mid 60’s in Kuwait .  Here is a sample of this Rare Jewels Voice which moves you to the core.. So listen ...

Have we ever thought about kind of friends and companions we have: Glance through this friendship test-

Does your friends have this qualities ; 4 QUALITIES OF A RIGHTEOUS FRIEND 1. When you see them, they remind you of Allah. 2. When you sit with them, it increases your Imaan. 3. When they speak to you, it increases your knowledge of deen. 4. When you see their actions, you remember the Akhirah. What does Quran say : “Close friends, that Day, will be enemies to each other, except for the righteous” {Surat Az-Zukhruf, 43:67} What do pious people say ; ❝There is nothing that corrupts a person or rectifies him more than [his] companion.❞ - Sufyan al-Thawri رحمه الله ❝Companionship with good people leads to beneficial knowledge, virtuous manners and righteous deeds, whilst companionship with bad people prevents one from all of this.❞ - Imaam as-Sa’dee ( رحمه الله) “Bahjatul-Abraar” p. 226 ❝Have lots of belie...

All wealth belongs to Allah and human beings are only trustees to the wealth:

  From the   Islamic point of view, even though man can have private ownership rights to the wealth, however, Allah has clearly laid down the terms of trust. This is because, in Islam, all wealth belongs to Allah and human beings are only trustees to the wealth. On this point, Islam prescribes ways to carry out the trust so that a person has no right to use it to satisfy his whims. He has to observe the Divine commandments. If the violation is serious,  hence, his inability to use his wealth properly provides the basis for the forfeiture of his right to his wealth.  For those whom Allah has blessed with wealth, it is a test; and Muslims should strive to pass this test by not becoming worshipers of hoarded wealth.  Note: The above is taken from below Source.
