Humbleness: importance And Significance

Humbleness is to know the value of oneself, to avoid pride, or disregard the truth, and to underestimate people. As the Prophet sallallahu alaihi wa sallam (may the peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said, according to Muslim and others, “Al-Kibr (pride) is rejecting the truth and looking down upon people” [Muslim, Tirmidhi, and Abu Dawud].

Humbleness is for one who is significant and fears gaining notoriety or becoming too great among people. As it was said, “Humble yourself, you will be as a glimmering star to the viewer on the surface of the water, even if it is lofty.” We don’t say to an ordinary person, “Humble yourself.” But it is said to him, “Know the value of yourself, and do not place it in the wrong place!”

It was narrated by al-Khattabi in al-Uzlah that Imaam Abdullah bin al-Mubaarak came to Khuraassaan [in Persia] and went to a person who was known for his zuhd and wara’ [asceticism and cautiousness in piety], so when he entered where the man was, he (the man) did not turn around nor give him any consideration at all.

How To Clear All The Confusion

Alhamdulillaah, nowadays there’s access to Islamic knowledge like never before. All it takes is a click of the mouse or a simple phone call, and one can gain access to a variety of articles, e-books, and fatwas from the shuyookh. One can also watch videos and listen to lectures from all over the world, simply by sitting at home. And as for the emails, we see plenty of those filling our inbox, from people you know and even people you don’t know, educating us on our Deen. But then, along with all of that, also comes a lot of confusion.

Confusion???
Yes…. Confusion.

That’s because everyone is talking about their version of Islam, their comprehension of how everything should be. Every group is interpreting the texts of the Quran and Sunnah according to its own understanding. One group promotes a certain belief, saying how good it is, while another group considers the very same belief to be totally wrong.

The Necessity To Love The Beloved Prophet [Peace and Blessings of Allah be Upon Him]

Allah SubHanuhu wa Ta’ala says in the Holy Qur’an, “If your fathers, and your sons, and your brothers, and your wives, and your tribe, and your acquired wealth, and the trade in which you fear a loss, and the houses of your liking – if all these are dearer to you than Allah and His Noble Messenger and fighting in His way, then wait until Allah brings about His command; and Allah does not guide the sinful.” [Surah Tauba: 24]

This verse demonstrates encouragement, advice, proof, and an indication of the necessity to love Prophet Muhammad (SallAllaho Alaihi wa Sallam). It is also sufficient to prove that this duty is of tremendous proportion. It is an obligation and the right of the Prophet, SallAllaho Alaihi wa Sallam.

You will have observed how Allah SubHanuhu wa Ta’ala reprimands those whose love of relatives and property is dearer to them than Allah and His Messenger, SallAllaho Alaihi wa Sallam. Allah SubHanuhu wa Ta’ala concludes His warning with the threatening words, “then wait until Allah shall bring His command.” And from this it is understood that those whose love is other than for Allah and His Messenger SallAllaho Alaihi wa Sallam, are astray and are not guided by Allah.

Blossom Of The Youth: An Eye Opener

Following is an Eye Opener Preface of the famous Book “Bahar-e-Shabab” by Hadrat Allama Mawlana Shaykh Abd al-Aleem Siddiqui Qadiri Meerathi (Khalifa of Sayyiduna AlaHadrat Imam Ahmad Rida Khan Qadiri) written with extreme sincerity and honest concern towards the youth of the entire Islamic Ummah. A must must must read the Book and especially the Preface! Hope you will read it yourself and share it with your contacts as well…
Jazak ALLAH in Anticipation!

ALLAH SubHanuhu wa Ta’ala has blessed humankind with numerous powers, and His (SubHanuhu wa Ta’ala) Wisdom has equipped man with the knowledge of using it. Although the Creator has given such knowledge to animals, there is a unique difference between humans and animals. Since humankind is the highest order of creation, the Creator has therefore blessed it with a special faculty of knowledge that makes it superior to other creations. ALLAH has equipped human beings to use this knowledge creatively and also enhance it tremendously. Such an ability is not found in the animal kingdom.

Benefits Of Dates In Ramadan

All the Prophet’s (peace be upon him) kindness to his nation is shown in dates and in recommending them as he explained the useful things even in such matters.

The benefits and utilities of dates are shown as some doctors mentioned the benefits of Iftar on Dates and said: starting Iftar with dates has a lot of healthy and nutritional benefits, some of these benefits are:

  • Dates are easy to digest, so they don’t exhaust the fasting person’s stomach.
  • Dates decrease the great hunger feeling of the fasting person, and so he doesn’t rush into excessive food eating, which causes digestive disorders.
  • Dates prepare the stomach to receive food after being inactive throughout the day by activating the release of digestive secretions and juices.
  • Dates are rich in sugary energy, supplying the body with the most important nutrients, including sugar, which is irreplaceable as a nutrient for brain cells and nerves.
  • Dates protect the fasting person from having constipation as a result of changing meal times or as a result of having low fiber amounts in meals.
  • The alkaline salts in dates adjust the acidity of blood, which results from excessive eating of meat and carbohydrates, which causes a lot of hereditary diseases as diabetes, gout, renal stones, gall bladder inflammations, high blood pressure, and hemorrhoids.

The Messenger (Sallallahu Alayhi Wasallam) said: “The best Suhoor for the believer is dates.” [Abu Dawood, Al-Baihaqee, and Ibn Hibbaan]

Rasool Allah (Sallallahu Alayhi Wasallam) used to incite the breaking of the fast with dates, and if he did not find any, he would then break it with water.

Anas Ibn Maalik (Radi Allahu anhu) said: “The Prophet (Sallallahu Alayhi Wasallam) used to break his fast with fresh dates before he prayed. If he did not find fresh dates, then he would use dried dates. If he did not find that, he also drank a few sips of water. [Ahmad and Abu Dawood]
