SAlaaaaaaaam

i need help. i need an ayah of the Quran or a hadith that would motivate/encourage someone to wear scarf. any suggestions? THANK YOU

Anyone tried it? had any problem with it?

i think it just completely killed the laptop...feels like reformatting is going to be needed..and i got NO BACKUP!

it doesnt look like its a hardware issue, coz i havent changed anything, but the night of the day i installed mozilla 4... all heckbroke loose. Lappy kept restarting itself, and because dad was going on a trip i wasnt really paying attention.

then, next day tried to switch it on and at first the "safe mode" optionscreen would come up. i managed to get account throughsafe mode;but that was just once... and everytime the lappy would restart,before that, there would be a blue screen telling me something that i didnt have time to read.

Sahih Bukhari - Hadith No. 591

Narrated by Al-Mughira bin Shu'ba: The Prophet said, "Allah has forbidden for you, (1) to be undutiful to your mothers, (2) to bury your daughters alive, (3) to not to pay the rights of the others (e.g. charity, etc.) and (4) to beg of men (begging). And Allah has hated for you (1) vain, useless talk, or that you talk too much about others, (2) to ask too many questions, (in disputed religious matters) and (3) to waste the wealth (by extravagance).

This is a reminder to me before anyone else. May Allah preserve from ever falling into any of these categories.

Just a lil reminder about two things from yawmul jumu'ah

1. Reading surah Kahf
2. Making duahs

1.

From Abu Sa’eed al-Khudri, who said: “Whoever reads Soorat al-Kahf on the night of Jumu’ah, will have a light that will stretch between him and the Ancient House (the Ka’bah).”
(Narrated by al-Daarimi, 3407. This hadeeth was classed as saheeh by Shaykh al-Albaani in Saheeh al-Jaami, 6471)

(b) “Whoever reads Soorat al-Kahf on the day of Jumu’ah, will have a light that will shine from him from one Friday to the next.”

Be prepared to justify if asked. (or you can justify before being asked, or you can not justify. but it would be better if you did justify)

say justify 10 times.

dont let me down revivalers!

This is one of the most beautiful duah I've ever come across

"اللَّهُمَّ بَاعِدْ بَيْنِي وَبَيْنَ خَطَايَايَ كَمَا بَاعَدْتَ بَيْنَ الْمَشْرِقِ وَالْمَغْرِبِ، اللَّهُمَّ نَقِّنِي مِنْ خَطَايَايَ، كَمَا يُنَقَّى الثَّوْبُ الْأَ بْيَضُ مِنَ الدَّنَسِ، اللَّهُمَّ اغْسِلْنِي مِنْ خَطَايَايَ بِالثَّلْجِ وّالْمَاءِ وَالْبَرَدِ"

O Allah , separate me from my sins as You have separated the East from the West. O Allah, cleanse me of my transgressions as the white garment is cleansed of stains . O Allah , wash away my sins with ice and water and frost.

ahh the magic of understanding arabic, Its beautiful understanding what you recite or read of duahs/surahs in your prayer!

(Reference:Al-Bukhari 1/181, Muslim 1/419. )

Ive always wondered how to thank Allah subhanahou wata'ala.

I knew all about how to ask for forgiveness and how it was quite a process, but i thought, "what about thanking Allah?" saying Alhamdoulillah surely couldnt be enough? wasn't there a set pattern? something specific to do?

then i found this video. and i'm so glad i did. (its less than 2 mins, dont be scared...)

It does seem a lot harder, a lot more complicated. and a more constant thing. But after reflecting, we have a lot more to be grateful for.

you have the power to either save your brother from the sinking ship, or save all of the other people on the boat except your brother.

Assalaamu'alaikoum!

one of the first surahs we learn as a child, going to madrassah, is this little cute, short surah, Surah Al-'Asr. Everyone remembers the struggle of getting the right order of "Haqq" and "Sabr" is the last ayah; (i remembre struggling with it for a few years...) and it is one of the surahs we recite in our prayer when we're in a rush and we want quick quick for prayer to be over!

Remember these days? Reciting Surah Al-'Asr at fajr to go back to bed asap. or at Dhuhr to go play, or at 'Asr to go watch cartoon, or at Maghrib to go eat or at Isha to go quick to bed?

and then you grow up, and you might get the opportunity to learn Arabic, and discover that "Asr" means Time.

...and a few years go by...
