The unavoidable Truth

Near the coast of Japan there has been a earthquake as u all know! 
Experts say that this will lead to a formation of new island. 
If u remember that prophet Mohammad PBUH had once quoted that DAJJAL is imprisoned on a island towards the west.

Japan is the first land to receive sunlight and to see the dawn in the world. Before the coming of Imam Mehdi (A.S) it was quoted that the year before his arrival will face solar n lunar eclipse which has already occurred twice this year! There are more signs which can be seen around! Is the judgment day closer ! 

Offering Salaah is one of the most necessary work in all our lives while straining away from all the wrong path! This is a wakeup call for all the Muslims! Let's unite and face the signs together and be happy to get rid of this slavery life of ours!!

Our prophet (SAW) told us that there would be 3 major earthquakes before Judgement day. One in the east , one in the west, and one in Arabia. There has already been one in Japan;(East)and one in Haiti;(West). Its so very scary. 

What have we done to deserve a place in Jannah? -we watch TV, swear, talk back & give attitude to elders, we watch things that we are not supposed to watch, some don't even dress modestly. 

We listen to music & spend time learning the lyrics, but why not learn the Quraan? It's probably because we don't have enough Imaan (faith) in us. 

We need to get rid of bad habits and get onto the good ones. 
If people act upon this, then Insha Allah, you will get rewards.

Allah says: 'If you deny me in front of your friends, then I will deny you on the day of judgement. Courtesy: fi se bi lillah. It's good to inform people hope you learn from it.

When my father was martyred

Bukhari :: Book 2 :: Volume 23 :: Hadith 33
Narrated Jabir bin 'Abdullah :

When my father was martyred, I lifted the sheet from his face and wept and
the people forbade me to do so but the Prophet did not forbid me. Then my
aunt Fatima began weeping and the Prophet said, "It is all the same
whether you weep or not. The angels were shading him continuously with
their wings till you shifted him (from the field). 


Bukhari :: Book 2 :: Volume 23 :: Hadith 338


Narrated Anas bin Malik:

The Prophet said, "Zaid took over the flag and was martyred. Then it was
taken by Jafar who was martyred as well. Then 'Abdullah bin Rawaha took the
flag but he too was martyred and at that time the eyes of Allah's Apostle
were full of tears. Then Khalid bin Al-Walid took the flag without being
nominated as a chief (before hand) and was blessed with victory."

Prohibition of Taking Graves as Places of Worship‏

1] Jundub Ibn 'Abdullaah al-Bajalee said that he heard the Prophet  
(sallallaahu 'alayhi wa sallam) say - five days before he died: "Verily  
those before you took the graves of their Prophets and righteous people as  
places of worship, so do not take the graves as places of worship. Indeed I  
forbid you from this!"
 
 
[2] From Aboo Hurayrah that the Messenger of Allaah (sallallaahu 'alayhi wa  
sallam) said: "O Allaah, do not turn my grave into an idol. May the curse  
of Allaah be upon those who take the graves of their Prophets as places of  
worship."
 
 
[3] 'Abdullaah Ibn Sharjeel Hasanah said: "I saw 'Uthmaan Ibn 'Affaan order  
the leveling of the graves. So it was said to him: 'This is the grave of  
Umm 'Amr the daughter of 'Uthmaan!' However, he commanded that it too  
should be leveled."
 
 
[4] From Abul-Hayyaaj al-Asadee who said: "'Alee Ibn Abee Taalib said to  
me: 'Shall I not send you for what the Messenger of Allaah  
(sallallaahu 'alayhi wa sallam) sent me? That you deface all statues and  
pictures and that you level all elevated graves.'"
 
 
[5] Aboo Burdah said: "Aboo Moosaa al-Ash'aree advised us before he died,  
saying: 'You should hasten with my janaazah…and do not put in my lahad (a  
cleavage in the side of the grave where the body is placed) anything that  
will come between me and the earth, nor build anything over my grave. So  
bear witness that I am free of those women who shave their heads, tear  
their clothes or beat their cheeks.' They said: 'Did you hear anything  
about this?' He said: 'Yes, from the Messenger of Allaah  
(sallallaahu 'alayhi wa sallam)!'"

Hadith Qudsi 21 - 22


Hadith Qudsi 21:
On the authority of Abu Hurayrah (may Allah be pleased with him), who said that the Messenger of Allah (PBUH) said that Allah the Almighty said:There are three (1) whose adversary I shall be on the Day of Resurrection: a man who has given his word by Me and has broken it; a man who has sold a free man (2) and has consumed the price; and a man who has hired a workman, has exacted his due in full from him and has not given him his wage. (1) i.e. types of men. (2) i.e. a man who has made a slave of another and has sold him. It was related by al-Bukhari (also by Ibn Majah and Ahmad ibn Hanbal).
Hadith Qudsi 22:
On the authority of Abu Sa'id (may Allah be pleased with him), who said that the Messenger of Allah (PBUH) said:Let not any one of you belittle himself. They said: O Messenger of Allah, how can any one of us belittle himself? He said: He finds a matter concerning Allah about which he should say something, and he does not say [it], so Allah (mighty and sublime be He) says to him on the Day of Resurrection: What prevented you from saying something about such-and-such and such-and-such? He say: [It was] out of fear of people. Then He says: Rather it is I whom you should more properly fear. It was related by Ibn Majah with a sound chain of authorities.

[About them] it will be said: Delay these two until they are reconciled; delay these two until they are reconciled. It was related by Muslim (also by Malik and Abu Dawud).
