Thought For The Day...✍
We sought four traits, but did not achieve them because we did not seek them from their rightful resources; we sought richness in money, but richness is in contentment. We sought comfort in abundant, but comfort is really in having little. We sought honor in good mannerism (not for the sake of ALLAAH), but honor lies in the taqwa. We sought delight in food and clothes, but delight is in modesty and Islām.

Life in the Cave - Sacrifices of Rasulullah and Abu Bakr
When Prophet Mohammad (SAW) and Abu Bakr (RA) reached mount Thawr during the migration to Medina, Abu Bakr (May Allah be pleased with him) carried him up the mountain to a cave called after the name of the mountain, Cave Thawr. Abu Bakr first entered to explore the cave and be sure that it was safe, closed all holes with pieces torn off from his clothes, cleaned it and then asked the Prophet (Peace be upon him) to step in. The Prophet (Peace be upon him) went in and immediately laid his head in Abu Bakr's lap and fell asleep....
WIDOWS' PLIGHT
.
.
The death of a loved one is often traumatic and could adversely affect a person. But our society makes it sound that the nature favours a widower above the widow.
.
A man who lost his wife tends to quickly get over it but women who their husband dies are much more affected when such things happen, problems of insomnia, high blood pressure, sense of neglect, sense of lost, fear of the unknown set in all at once in a terrible shock.
.
Widowers can re-marry early enough after the demise of their wives but if a widow should...

Abdullah ibn Masud at his death bed
Abdullah ibn Masud lived to the time of Khalifah Uthman, may God be pleased with him. When he was sick and on his death-bed, Uthman came to visit him and said:
"What is your ailment?"
"My sins."
"And what do you desire?"
"The mercy of my Lord."
"Shall I not give you your stipend which you have refused to take for years now?"
"I have no need of it."
"Let it be for your daughters after you."
"Do you fear poverty for my children? I have commanded them to read Surah al-Waqiah every night for I have heard the Prophet saying,...

Abdullah ibn Masud bleeds to recite the Quran
The companions of the Prophet were together one day in Makkah. They were still few in number. weak and oppressed. They said, "The Quraysh have not yet heard the Quran being recited openly and loudly. Who is the man who could recite it for them?'
"I shall recite it from them," volunteered Abdullah ibn Masud . "We are afraid for you," they said. "We only want someone who has a clan who would protect him from their evil . "
"Let me," Abdullah ibn Masud insisted, "Allah shall protect me and keep me away from their evil." He...
The words reflect one's inner self
Mahmud was a very pious man, but he was not very attractive looking. One day, he was walking along the road, minding his own business, when a lady came up to him, and started calling him names and abusing him. This lady kept saying all kinds of nasty things, and Mahmud just listened to her patiently. Finally, when she was finished calling him names and abusing him, Mahmud just greeted her, smiled, and said
"and a nice day to you," and continued on his way.
Why did Mahmud, the pious man, behave this way?
It is because he...
The man who made a promise to tell the truth
Telling the truth is a very good habit. If you always speak the truth, you can save yourself from a lot of trouble! Here is a story of a man who did a lot of bad things, but his promise to tell the truth saved him.
Once a man came to the prophet Muhammad (S) and said, "Oh prophet of Allah, I have many bad habits. Which one of them should I give up first?" The prophet said, "Give up telling lies first and always speak the truth." The man promised to do so and went home.
At night the man was about to go out to steal. Before...
10 Things about Uthman (RA)
Before the martyrdom of Uthman (RA.), he spoke to Abu Thaur al-Fahmi (RA.) thus:
I entertain great hopes in my Lord with Whom I have placed ten things as trust:
1. I am the fourth person to accept Islam.
2. The Holy Prophet (SAW) gave his daughter in marriage to me.
3. On her death, he gave me his second daughter in marriage.
4. I have never sung a song.
5. I have never even thought of wickedness.
6. Ever since I took the oath of allegiance to the Holy Prophet (SAW) with my right hand, I have never touched the genitals therewith.

The people of innovations in Islam is like the Scorpion
The saying of Imaam al-Barbaharee رحمه الله about the Ahlul-Bidah (innovation):
((مثل أصحاب البدع مثل العقارب يدفنون رؤوسهم وأبدانهم في التراب، ويخرجون أذنابهم، فإذا تمكنوا لدغوا، وكذلك أهل البدع، هم مختفون بين الناس، فإذا تمكنوا بلغوا ما يريدون. ))
“The example of the people of innovations is like the scorpion. They bury their bodies and heads in the sands, but their (venomous) tails are exposed, so that when they are able they will sting. Likewise are the people of innovation, they are concealed amongst the people,...

Malik Bin Dinar and the Thief
A burglar scaled the wall of Maalik Bin
Dinar's house one night and easily managed to get inside. Once inside
the house, the thief was disappointed to see nothing worth stealing.

quickly ended his prayer and turned around to face the thief.Without
showing any signs of shock or scare, Maalik calmly extended greetings
of peace and said, "My brother, may Allah forgive you. You entered my
home and found nothing worth taking, yet I do not want you...

Thought For The Day...✍
Marriage is not a playground where the ego thoughtlessly pursues its
vanities. It is an institution that helps a man and a woman pursue the
purpose of their creation: to glorify and worship ALLAAH (SUBHANAHU WA
TA'ALA) and to work, within the extent of our capabilities and
resources, to make the world a better place for those we share it with
and for those we will leave it to.

HIJAABAH SISTER !
In this age of nudity
Which is a severe stupidity
Perhaps, a worldly mentality
I've dropped any kind of timidity
And I've put forward my religious ability
And I've made covering a priority
My creator blessed me with an awesome
physique
He told me it's unique
I should cover not only when I'm in the mosque
But even when I'm in the mall
Else, on the day of reckoning, I might fall
But He wants me to stand tall
He wants me to see the noor
So...
RULING ON CLAPPING
Praise be to Allaah.
Clapping during parties is one of the actions of jaahiliyyah. The least that can be said about it is that it is makrooh (disliked), but the evidence suggests rather that it is haraam, because the Muslims are not allowed to resemble the kuffaar. Allah says describing the kuffaar of Makkah (interpretation of the meaning):
“Their Salaah (prayer) at the House (of Allaah, i.e. the Ka‘bah at Makkah) was nothing but whistling and clapping of hands”
[al-Anfaal 8:35]
The Sunnah is, when the believer sees...
The Concept of Democracy in Islam
I heard that the word democracy is derived from Islam. Is that true? What is the ruling on promoting democracy?
Praise be to Allah.
Firstly:
Democracy is not an Arabic word. Rather it is derived from the Greek, and it is a composite of two words: demos, meaning the masses or the people, and kratia, meaning rule. So what is meant is the rule of the masses or the rule of the people.
Secondly:
Democracy is a system that is contrary to Islam, because it gives the power of legislation to the people or...
