SURAH Al-ANFAL & SURAH AT-TAWBAH PEARLS OF PEACE (A Summary of the Qur’aan)

Image
*🍃PEARLS OF PEACE (A Summary of the Qur’aan) 🍃*   *SURAH AL-ANFAL *   ALLAAH LOOKS AT QUALITY NOT QUANTITY *DO NOT BE DIVIDED* A great Fitnah of our times – disagreements! The ideology is: if you do not follow my belief then you have clearly gone astray. This continuous fighting has divided the Ummah immensely. Many people don’t come near the religion because they cannot understand who is right and who has deviated. Allaah سبحانه وتعالى says, (وَأَطِیعُوا۟ ٱللَّهَ وَرَسُولَهُۥ وَلَا تَنَـٰزَعُوا۟ فَتَفۡشَلُوا۟ وَتَذۡهَبَ رِیحُكُمۡۖ وَٱصۡبِرُوۤا۟ۚ إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ مَعَ ٱلصَّـٰبِرِینَ) *“And obey Allaah and His Messenger, and do not dispute and [thus] lose courage and [then] your strength would depart; and be patient. Indeed, Allaah is with the patient,” [8: 46].* The enemies are rejoicing as the Muslims fight among themselves. Let us reflect on our behavior, be forgiving and reduce the distances between the Ummah. *BE CONSISTENT IN WORSHIP* Allaah سبحانه وتعالى  loves those...

Patience- Sabar

Image
 The Definition Of Patience Sabr is an Arabic word which comes from a root meaning to detain, refrain and stop. There is an expression in Arabic,  “so-and-so was killed sabran,”  which means that he was captured and detained until he died. In the spiritual sense, patience means to stop ourselves from despairing and panicking, to stop our tongues from complaining, and to stop our hands from striking our faces and tearing our clothes at times of grief and stress.  What scholars have said about patience: Some scholars have defined patience as a good human characteristic or a positive psychological attitude, by virtue of which we refrain from doing that which is not good. Human beings cannot live a proper, healthy life without patience.  Abû ‘Uthmân said: “the one who has patience is the one who trained himself to handle difficulties.”  ‘Amr ibn ‘Uthmân al-Makkî said: “Patience means to keep close to Allâh and to accept calmly the trials He sends, without compl...

Image
Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) said: He (the shepherd) has spoken the truth. By Him (Allah) in Whose Hand my soul is, the Day of Resurrection will not be established till beasts of prey speak to the human beings. Narrated Abu Hurairah [radhi-yAllahu 'anhu]: I heard Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) saying, "While a shepherd was amongst his sheep, a wolf attacked them and took away one sheep. When the shepherd chased the wolf, the wolf turned towards him and said, 'Who will be its guard on the day of wild animals when nobody except I will be its shepherd'*. And while a man was driving a cow with a load on it, it turned towards him and spoke to him saying, 'I have not been created for this purpose, but for ploughing.' "The people said, "Glorified is Allah." The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "But I believe in it and so does Abu Bakr and 'Umar [radhi-yAllahu 'anhumaa]."  [Sahih Al-Bukhari, 5/3663 (O.P.15)] * It has been written that a wolf also spoke to a s...

It is also called Al-Hamd and As-Salah, because the Prophet said that his Lord said, (`The prayer (i.e., Al-Fatihah) is divided into two halves between Me and My servants.’ When the servant says, `All praise is due to Allah, the Lord of existence,’ Allah says, ‘My servant has praised Me.’) Al-Fatihah was called the Salah, because reciting it is a condition for the correctness of Salah – the prayer. Al-Fatihah was also called Ash-Shifa’ (the Cure)...
