Looking To See's blog

I would like to first and foremost advice all of you to get hold of the book and read it as I found in extremely beneficial and inshaaAllah you will too.

Chapter 1
* Definition of Patience
-Abu 'Uthman: "the one who has patience is the one who has trained himself to handle difficultie"
-Amr Ibn Uthman al-Makki: "Patience means to keep close to Allah and to accept calmly the trials He sends, without complaining or feeling sad"
-Al-Khawwas: "patience means to adhere to the Qur'an and Sunnah"
-"Patience means to refrain from complaining"
-Ali Ibn Abi Talib "patience means to seek Allah's help"

*complaint
-To Allah - doesnt contradict patience
-to people (words, behaviour, look) - contradictory to patience

plenty others. but i like the first two more. It makes you realise the value of what you have.

Do i have to live in this world where the true "service" sector is no longer? where everything is about money, about gaining money, no matter if it is at the expense of others?

if there nothing i can do to change this?

Do i have to live in this world where they make cars to break down in a few years, where they create models with defects on purpose so you buy the new one? where nothing is done for the sake of it.

Do i have to live in a world where the chasm between "charity" and the rest of the world gets wider and wider.
where charity becomes more and more a standing alone building, that people visit once in a while or not at all if they chose not to.

do i have to live in a world where you get suspicious if someone offers you a ride on a pouring down day?

she will be missed, greatly, she can never be replaced and she holds a special place in my heart. As soon as i saw her, i knew it was going to be good. She's given me a few heart attack to be honest, but it wasnt really her fault... she wasnt to blame if she was "faked" a few times...

Imindenial. I cannot believe she is gone, I'm sure she'll come back. and in my heart I will never consider her an undead.

ok, seriously guy, do you see Lilly EVER speaking about death?! as in..EVEEER! I dont.

Can anybody guess what I'm talking about?

Ireceived this text with his hadith and it didnt have a reference. and Alhamdoulillah i just fell on an article saying this hadith is actually fabricated.

What is the opinion of Hadith scholars on the following Athar (narration from the Companions): “Rajab is the Month of Allah, Sha‘ban is my month and Ramadan is the month of my Ummah (nation based on one creed)”? And is this a Hadith Sahih (authentic Hadith): “O Allah! To You do I complain of my weakness, my helplessness, and disregard of people towards me...”?

these are what is needed before you start praying for the prayer to be accepted, the "prerequisites" of Prayer

Islaam (being muslim)
Sound mind (not being crazy)

obligations must be done, if left out my ignorance of forgetfullness the salaah is still valid but the sujoods of distraction must be done. If deliberately left out then salaah becomes invalid.

pillars of PRAYER (not Islam, thank you TPofS) if you miss any of them out, for whatever reason, then the prayer is invalid. and missing any pillar cannot be compensated by thr sujood of distraction. You have to redo the prayer.
