The intention is that the Prophet (Sallallahu Alaihi Wa Sallam) also used to purify himself with water after using the mud etc. after that he would first rub his hands on the ground and wash them and then perform WUDU (ablution). As is clear from this tradition that it was usual with the Prophet (Sallallahu Alaihi Wa Sallam) that he would perform WUDU (ablution) after answering a call of nature and doing ISTINJA. But in order to indicate that performing WUDU (ablution) is only a commendable and excellent practice he has occasionally omitted it, as is related in Sunan Abu Dawud and Sunan Ibn MAJAH on the basis of the following traditions from Hadrat Aishah.  Read more...

It has been reported from the Holy Prophet (Sallallahu Alaihi Wa Sallam) that he said,

“I am leaving behind you such a thing that if you hold it fast, you would not go astray. One is the Book of ALLAH (QURAAN -e- Majid) and the other is Sunnah i.e. Traditions”.

It is mostly said that if love builds up before marriage, than the marital life gets to be successful. However, all the surveys of the world conducted in this regard have yielded results entirely contrary to this belief. I received a survey done in Cairo conducted throughout the world. Its report said that 88% of marriages based on pre-marriage love are unsuccessful, while only 12 % of such couples end up living together as husband and wife. In comparison to this, marriages that are conducted according to the traditions of the Islamic principle, their success rate is 78%.  Read more... (221 words, estimated 53 secs reading time)

So my friends, Muslims have their own celebrations but because our education is not ours anymore, our media is not ours and as a result of the environments of which our children are now becoming a part, their thinking is not theirs any longer, and parents too do not give them that atmosphere at homes where their roots of Emaan would have strengthened, they would acquire a sense of religious honour and they would be able to discern as to what are our traditions, what really are our festivals, and what are our celebrations.  Read more...

Allah SWT has revealed Islam as a complete and perfect religion. Thus accordingly, it has its own unique traditions as well as its very own celebrations. Islam’s festivals are so sublime and fulfilling that not only do they consider human temperament but also assure a Muslim’s advancement in the Afterlife. If they are a means to derive pleasure, these festivals also pave ways for us to gather happiness in the Hereafter.  Read more... (187 words, estimated 45 secs reading time)

Hadrat Abu Zarr Ghifari (Radi Allaahu Ta’ala Anhu) narrated that my beloved friend has specially recommended the following seven things.

1. Loving the needy and destitute,

2. Looking towards those who are below me (i.e. those who do not possess as much as I have) and should not look towards those who are above me (i.e. those who have much more provision for worldly life than I have).

(According to another narration the last clause was: is loved by the people?) He replied, This is real good tiding for a true Muslim.” [Sahih Muslim]

Similarly if someone does any good work openly with the intention that others may follow him and learn to do likewise, then it will not be taken as dissimulation: but in such a situation that servant of ALLAH will get divine reward for teaching and preaching (religion). From numerous traditions it appears that this was the intention behind many actions of the Prophet (Sallallahu Alaihi Wa Sallam).  Read more... (163 words, estimated 39 secs reading time)

Many verses in the Holy Quran have been revealed in connection with rules of Hajj and its virtues. The book’s of Hadith are also filled with traditions of Rasulullah Sal’am on the same topics. It is my humble intention to mention a few of these in this booklet. As far as possible I intend being as concise as possible because in these days readers do not have much time to devote to religious writings, and further, when a work is too lengthy the expense in printing as well as organizing such works become increased. It is so strange that for these beneficial matter people have no money but when money has to be spent for the cinema or for wedding receptions etc. even the poor find money.  Read more...
