Things That Loved the Beloved Prophet SallAllaho Alaihi wa Aalihi

All praise is due to Allah Azza wa Jal, Salutations upon His most Perfect, unique, and cream of creations, the Intercessor of the Sinners, Sayyiduna Rasoolullah Sallallaahu Alaihi wa Aalihi wa Sallam, upon his family, upon his companions, and the righteous servants till Doomsday.

Sayyiduna Anas Radi Allahu Ta’ala Anhu narrated that the Prophet SallAllaho Alaihi wa Aalihi wa Sallam said, “None of you truly believes (has Iman) until I am more beloved to him than his father, his child, and all of mankind.” [Bukhari and Muslim]

Loving the Prophet SallAllaho Alaihi wa Aalihi wa Sallam is a part of Iman, and Allah SubHanuhu wa Ta’ala has made it obligatory for us to love the Messenger Alaihis Salat wa as-Salam. Why? It is because loving the Prophet shows that you love Allah. It is because Allah sent him SallAllaho Alaihi wa Aalihi wa Sallam that we are Muslims. There should be no one in this world more beloved to us than Allah and His Messenger.

We all claim to love the Prophet SallAllaho Alaihi wa Aalihi wa Sallam with our tongues, but do our actions show this?

When we love someone, how do we act? We want to be just like them. We think about them a lot. Whenever we remember them, we become happy. Their words comfort us. Their actions teach us. We love to hear about them all the time.

Do we really love the Prophet SallAllaho Alaihi wa Aalihi wa Sallam? Do we practice his Sunnah? Do we read his words? Do we learn from his teachings? Do we read about his life? Do we defend him? Do we spread his message? Alaihis Salaatu Rabbuna wa as-Salaam!

7 Things Your Muslim Wife Wont Tell You

In the name of Allah, the Most-Merciful, the All-Compassionate

“May the Peace and Blessings of Allah be Upon You”

Praise be to Allah, we seek His help and His forgiveness. We seek refuge with Allah from the evil of our own souls and from our bad deeds. Whomsoever Allah guides will never be led astray, and whomsoever Allah leaves astray, no one can guide. I bear witness that there is no god but Allah, and I bear witness that Muhammad is His slave and Messenger.

Some Verdicts About Supplications
Usamah bin Zaid (May Allah be pleased with them) reported: The Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) said, “He who is favored by another and says to his benefactor: Jazak-Allah khairan (may Allah reward you well) indeed praised (the benefactor) satisfactorily.”[At-Tirmidhi].

Commentary: If one is unable to return someone’s kindness with kindness, he should say, “Jazak-Allahu khairan (may Allah reward you well).” This means: “I am unable to reciprocate your kindness. May Allah grant you the best reward for it.” Obviously, there is no match for the reward that one gets from Allah. For this reason, the Prophet (peace be upon him) said that it was the best of praise for a benefactor. 252/1496 – Riyad Us-Saliheen (Gardens of the Righteous)

1. Above All, She Wants Your Love
When a wife shows her husband less respect, he, in turn, shows her less love. And when a husband shows his wife less love, she, in turn, shows him less respect. And the vicious cycle repeats itself. Stop this prophecy before it becomes self-fulfilling. Show love to your wife. That’s what she wants. Love her despite her flaws and quirks. And Inshallah, she’ll respect you despite your flaws and quirks.

2. She is Bored
Its the same thing every day. Week in and week out. Not only is she bored, but she is also tired. She has to care for the kids, run the household, and then pamper you.

Just thinking about doing that every day makes me want to crawl under my covers and hide. I can imagine how the average Muslim housewife must feel. And let’s not forget about working women. Many Muslim women have to work a full-time job as well as hold a house down.

So brothers, I implore you, make your wife feel special. Give her a break. Take her out sometimes. Surprise her with a surprise meal. Bring her favorite dessert home. Just do something every now and then to break the monotony.

3. She Wants to Be Complimented
Appreciation. Everybody wants it. No one wants to feel as if the hard work they do goes unnoticed or, even worse, is taken for granted.

Your wife does not have to clean your dirty clothes. And she does not have to cook your meals. But she does. And she does that on top of all the other things in her life:
1. Working or going to school.
2. Caring for the kids.
3. Striving to be a better Muslimah.

Show your wife that you appreciate and are thankful for the things she does to maintain you and your family. A simple “thank you” is a good start.

4. She is Insanely Jealous
There is a reason most women don’t care for polygamy. Be very careful how you talk about other women around your wife.
Don’t ever compare your wife to another woman.
Don’t compare her to some female movie star.
Don’t compare her to your mother.
Never, ever compare her to your ex-wife (or other wife!)

She wants to know and believe that she is the center of your universe. So make her feel that way.

5. She Wants You to Help Her Become A Better Muslimah
Your wife desires and wants you to be her leader. And what better way to lead her than to show her how to be a better Muslimah? But you can’t show her how to become better if you’re not that great, either. Therefore, you have to upgrade your Iman. You have to improve yourself and then pass it on to her in a gentle, respectful way.

6. She Does not Like to Nag, But Sometimes You Make It Hard
It’s a common myth that women like to nag their husbands. That’s not entirely true. Yes, there are some people (men and women) whom you can never please. No matter what you do, they will always find fault in something.

Let us be reminded of the following hadith: Narrated Ibn Abbas: The Prophet (peace be upon him) said, “I was shown the Hell-fire and that the majority of its dwellers were women who were ungrateful.” It was asked, “Do they disbelieve in Allah?” (or are they ungrateful to Allah?) He replied, “They are ungrateful to their husbands and are
ungrateful for the favors and the good (charitable deeds) done to them. If you have always been good (benevolent) to one of them and then she sees something in you (not of her liking), she will say, ‘I have never received any good from you.” Sahih Bukhari

So, yes, sisters should be careful about denigrating the things your husband does for you. But very often, you, Brother, make it hard for her to hold your tongue. Perhaps you are always finding fault with her, and she looks for things in your character to get even. Perhaps you are not working (or not working hard enough), and she has to work to take up some slack. Perhaps you are just not that great a guy. Once again, upgrade yourself and give her fewer reasons to complain and nag.

7. More Than Anything, She Wants a Stable, Happy Relationship With You
“Women don’t get married just because they think it’s going to be fun. They get married because they want a happy family life, and they believe you are going to give it to them. Outside of her religious duties, that’s the most important thing in a Muslim woman’s life. Raising a happy, stable, Muslim family.

The funny thing is, it’s very easy for you to give that to her. Stop acting like a jerk. Be a good husband to her. Be kind. Show her you love her. Don’t threaten her with divorce or taking a second wife. But using them as threats is inappropriate and detrimental to your marriage.

Trust in Allah, watch out for the tricks of Shaitan, and be patient with her. There’s nothing Shaitan would love more than to destroy your marriage.

Serving From Your Right Hand Side

No. 1771 – From Anas bin Malik that the Messenger of Allah – sallAllahu alayhi wa sallam – was brought some milk that was blended with water, and on his right was a Bedouin and on his left was Abu Bakr, so he drank from it, then he gave it to the Bedouin and said: ‘On the right on the right.’

And in another narration: ‘those on the right, those on the right, you should give it on the right-hand side.’ No. 1771 [Collected by Bukhari, Muslim, Abu Dawood]

Shaykh Albaani said: ‘In this hadith, the one who was serving the drinks began with the Prophet – sallAllaahu alayhi wa sallam – because the Prophet – sallAllaahu alayhi wa sallam – was the one who requested a drink. Therefore, it is not correct to use this hadith as evidence to prove that the Sunnah is to essentially begin with the eldest of the people, as is widespread nowadays.

How can this be the case when the Prophet – sallAllaahu alayhi wa sallam – himself did not do this, on the contrary, the Prophet – sallAllaahu alayhi wa sallam – gave the drink to the Bedouin who was on his right-hand side and not to Abu Bakr who was on his left-hand side, then the Prophet – sallAllaahu alayhi wa sallam – explained by saying: ‘On the right-hand side, then the next one after him.’

All Ways Lead To Forgiveness

Ramadan, the month of forgiveness, is over. Many of us certainly feel sad about that. Some even feel bad because they did not make the best use of Ramadan and take advantage of its blessings. It is painful, indeed, to feel that there is a possibility that you failed to win Allah’s forgiveness during the blessed month; that the opportunity has slipped through your fingers.

If you are shackled with your sins and haunted by your past, you do not need to wait a whole year for the next Ramadan to get your record cleared. Allah’s mercy and generosity is limitless. There are many ways to rectify your past. Out of His grace, Allah offers us different kinds of ‘detergents’ that will surely clean your record no matter how dirty it was.

Act now! You have so many chances to erase all those sins and start afresh. No one is kinder and generous than Allah. He is waiting for you; all you need is to take the initiative and get back to Him. Make use of the following highly effective cleaners:

Repentance (Tawbah): Start afresh
When talking about ways to seek Allah’s forgiveness,Tawbah comes at the top of the list. Those sincere moments when you confess your guilt before Allah and pledge to amend your ways are very dear to Allah. Try it and rest assured that Allah will never let you down.

Al-Barr: The Beneficent; The All-Good

Beforehand, we certainly used to call on Him because He is the All-Good, the Most Merciful. ( Surat at-Tur, 52:28)

Allah created all people and placed them in a setting that is perfectly suitable for human life and that was designed to serve them. In Surat an-Nahl, Allah informs us about some of these blessings:

He created man from a drop of sperm, and yet he is an open challenger! And He created livestock. There is warmth for you in them and various uses, and some of them you eat. And there is beauty in them for you in the evening when you bring them home, and in the morning when you drive them out to graze. They carry your loads to lands you would never reach, except with great difficulty. Your Lord is All-Gentle, Most Merciful. And horses, mules, and donkeys, both to ride and for adornment. And He creates other things you do not know. The Way should lead to Allah, but there are those who deviate from it. If He had willed, He could have guided every one of you. He sends down water from the sky, from which you drink and from which come the shrubs among which you graze your herds. And by it He makes crops grow for you, as well as olives, dates, grapes, and fruit of every kind. There is certainly a Sign in that for people who reflect. He has made night and day subservient to you, and the Sun and Moon and stars, all of which are subject to His command. There are certainly Signs in that for people who use their intellect. And also the things of varying colors He has created for you in Earth. There is certainly a Sign in that for people who pay heed. He made the sea subservient to you so that you can eat fresh meat from it and bring out from it ornaments to wear. And you see the ships cleaving through it so that you can seek His bounty, and so that hopefully you will show thanks. He cast firmly embedded mountains on the ground so it would not move under you, and rivers and pathways so that hopefully you would be guided, and landmarks. And they are guided by the stars. ( Surat an-Nahl, 16:4-16)

No doubt, one can never bring into being, possess, or attain any of the blessings mentioned above by his own efforts. However, Allah has granted all of these beauties to humanity as blessings to indicate His vast generosity toward His servants. In return for such goodness, what does He expect? In the remaining part of the sura, Allah answers that He expects humanity to heed and serve Him, as follows:

Is He Who creates like him who does not create? So will you not pay heed? If you tried to number Allah’s blessings, you could never count them. Allah is Ever-Forgiving, Most Merciful.
( Surat an-Nahl, 16:17-18)
