Extract The Honey, But Do Not Break The Hive
Everything that has gentleness within it is beautified, and whatever lacks it is spoiled. When you meet someone, giving them a bright smile and a kind word, you are displaying the characteristic of a truly successful person, a characteristic that even a bee exhibits. When a bee lands on a flower (doing so for a practical purpose) it does not destroy it, because Allah rewards gentleness with that which He does give for harshness. There are certain people whose personalities are like magnets, attracting everyone who is nearby, simply because they are loved for their gentle talk, their good manners, and their noble deeds.
Winning the friendship of others is an art mastered by those who are noble and pious; a circle of people constantly surrounds them. Their mere presence in a gathering is a blessing, and when they are absent they are missed and asked about.
These blessed people have a code of conduct entitled: “Repel (the evil) with one which is better( ie. Allah ordered the faithful believers to be patient at the time of anger, and to excuse those who treat them badly), then verily! He, between whom and you there was enmity(will become) as though he was a close friend.” [Qur’an 41:34]
They suck out malice from others with sincerity, forgiveness, and gentleness. They forget the evil that was enacted upon them and preserve the memory of kindness received. Biting, harsh words may be aimed at them, but such words pass by their ears without entering and continue on their path without ever returning. They are in a state of calmness. People in general, and Muslims in particular, are safe from suffering any harm at their hands.
The Prophet Muhammad(blessings and peace be upon him) said: ” The Muslim is the person whose tongue and hand do not harm others. And the Believer is he, whom others trust, about their blood and wealth.”
He further said: “Verily Allah ordered me to keep relations with those that cut me off, to forgive the one who does injustice with me, and to give to those who withhold from me. ”
The noble Qur’an put it: ” Those who repress anger, and who pardon men; verily, Allah loves the good-doers.” [Qur’an 3:134]
Give to such people glad tidings of a reward close at hand in terms of peace and tranquility. Also, give glad tidings to them a reward in the Hereafter, of gardens and rivers, wherein they will be in close proximity to their forgiving Creator.”

Be Careful About Your Parents
1. Causing grief and sadness to parents
because of a statement or an action: Allah says:- “And your Lord has decreed that you worship none but Him. And that you be dutiful to your parents. If one of them or both of them attain old age in your life, say not to them a word of disrespect, nor shout at them but address them in terms of honor.” (17:23)
Ad-Daylami narrated that Al-Husain Ibn Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) narrated that the Prophet (sallallahu alaihi wa-sallam) said: “Has there been an act of Uquq, less than saying Uff (Fie), Allah would have disallowed it as well.”
Abdullah Ibn Amr Ibn al-Aas (radhi allahu anhu) narrated that a man came to the Prophet (sallallahu alaihi wa-sallam) to give him the pledge of allegiance, saying, ‘I have come to give you my Bai’ah (allegiance) to perform Hijrah (migration to al-Medina). However, I left behind my parents while they were crying.” The Prophet (sallallahu alaihi wa-sallam) said: “Then go back and make them laugh as you made them cry.” [Musnad Ahmad] Furthermore, Ibn Umar (radhi allahu anhu) said: “Bringing tears to parents is a part of Uquq and a major sin.” [Saheeh al-Bukharee]
2. Insulting or Cursing one’s Parents or somebody else’s Parents
Allah’s Messenger (sallallahu alaihi wa-sallam) has cursed him, who insults his parents, he (sallallahu alaihi wa-sallam) said: “Curse be upon whoever reviles his father, curse be upon whoever reviles his mother, Curse be upon on whoever slaughters for other than Allah, Curse be on whoever misguides a blind person on the street, Curse be on whoever does what the nation of Loot did.” [Saheeh al-Jamee (5767)]
And he (sallallahu alaihi wa-sallam) is also reported to have said: “From the major sins is a man reviling his parents.” We (Sahabah) said, “O Messenger of Allah (sallallahu alaihi wa-sallam) and how does a man revile his parents?” He said: “Yes, reviling a man’s father is reviling your father, and reviling his mother is reviling your mother.” [Saheeh al-Bukharee and Saheeh Muslim]
And in another narration, Allah’s Messenger (sallallahu alaihi wa-sallam) replied: “He abuses the father of somebody who, in return, abuses the former’s; he then abuses the mother of somebody who, in return, abuses his mother.” [Saheeh al-Bukharee and Saheeh Muslim] We learn from this Hadeeth that one should not abuse anyone’s parents, because in the event, he is paid in the same coin and he will be responsible for disgracing his parents.
3. Practicing Evil in front of Parents
One should not practice evil in front of parents, such as abandoning prayers, smoking, listening to music, watching indecent movies, and other types of immoral acts. These acts anger parents when Allah has even disallowed even saying Uff to them. If the parents agree with these acts of their child out of love for him, then the parents will earn evil deeds. The child will be committing evil for luring his parents to it, leading them to sin.
4. Disowning and Abandoning Parents
Anas al-Juhani said that his father narrated that the Prophet (sallallahu alaihi wa-sallam) said: “Verily, on the Day of Resurrection, Allah has slaves whom He will neither speak nor purify nor look at.” He was asked: “Who are they, O Allah’s Messenger?” He said: “He who disowns and abandons his parents, he who disowns his children, and he who was granted a favor by a people, but he denied their favor and disowned them.” [Musnad Ahmad]
Refraining from spending on poor parents, forcing them in some cases to resort to courts so that the judge compels the children to spend on them is also a form of Uquq. One should remember that he and all his wealth belong to his father, as known from the following Hadeeth. A man said to the Messenger of Allah (sallallahu alaihi wa-sallam) that he had wealth and children, but his father wanted to use some of his wealth. The Messenger (sallallahu alaihi wa-sallam) replied: “You and your wealth are your father’s.” [Ibn Majah]
5. Preferring the wife over the parents is also part of Uquq
This has certainly become widespread in the present time. This becomes even worse in the case where one prefers his undutiful wife who tries her best to turn her husband away from his father and mother.
6. Refraining from visiting the parents
Not keeping regular contact with them is also a type of Uquq. Al-Bukharee and Muslim narrated that Abu Hurayrah (radhi allahu anhu) said that the Messenger of Allah (sallallahu alaihi wa-sallam) said: “Allah created all the creatures and when he finished the task of His creation, Ar-Raham (the womb ties of relationship) said: ‘(O Allah) at this place I seek refuge with You from all those who sever me (sever the ties of relationship).’ Allah said: ‘Yes. Are you satisfied that I should hold with him who holds you and sever connection with him who severs you.’ It said: ‘I am satisfied.’ Allah said: ‘This is yours.’ Then Allah’s Messenger (sallallahu alaihi wa-sallam) said: “Recite the verse if you like, ‘Would you then, if you were given the authority, do mischief in the land, and sever your ties of kinship? Such are whom Allah has cursed…” [Saheeh al-Bukharee and Saheeh Muslim]

Selecting A Muslim Name
[1:1] In the name of GOD, Most Gracious, Most Merciful
[7:71] He said, “You have incurred condemnation and wrath from your Lord. Do you argue with me in defense of innovations you have fabricated – you and your parents – which were never authorized by GOD? Therefore, wait and I will wait along with you.”
God Almighty creates all languages, not just Arabic! Any beautiful name can be derived from any language.
[30:22] Among His proofs are the creation of the heavens and the earth, and the variation in your languages and your colors. In these, there are signs for the knowledgeable.
[7:180] To GOD belongs the most beautiful names; call upon Him therewith, and disregard those who distort His names. They will be requited for their sins.
The reason God chose the Arabic language for an Arabian prophet is given below.
[43:2] And the enlightening scripture.
[43:3] We have rendered it an Arabic Quran, that you may understand.
[43:4] It is preserved with us in the original master, honorable and full of wisdom.
[26:198] If we revealed this to people who do not know Arabic.
[26:199] And had him recite it (in Arabic), they could not possibly believe in it.
Some of God’s beautiful English names can be derived from this English translation of the Quran.
[59:22] He is the One GOD; there is no other god besides Him. Knower of all secrets and declarations. He is the Most Gracious, Most Merciful.
[59:23] He is the One GOD; there is no other god besides Him. The King, the Most Sacred, the Peace, the Most Faithful, the Supreme, the Almighty, the Most Powerful, the Most Dignified. GOD be glorified; far above having partners.
[59:24] He is the One GOD; the Creator, the Initiator, the Designer. To Him belong the most beautiful names. Glorifying Him is everything in the heavens and the earth. He is the Almighty, Most Wise.
The Islamic scholars invent all sorts of ridiculous issues (hadith, tafsir,, fatwas, etc,) and successfully divert millions of Muslims from the very important Quranic issues to unimportant unQuranic issues. One of their ridiculous inventions is the “Islamic names” for Muslim boys and Muslim girls.
The word Muslim is an Arabic word that simply means Submitter to God Alone. Anyone who submits to the will of God is Muslim in the Quranic context. According to the Quran, a righteous Jew, a righteous Christian, a righteous Muslim or any righteous person is Muslim in the eye of God(2:62, 5:69).
[2:62] Surely, those who believe, those who are Jewish, the Christians, and the converts; anyone who (1) believes in GOD, and (2) believes in the Last Day, and (3) leads a righteous life, will receive their recompense from their Lord. They have nothing to fear, nor will they grieve.
The Arabic word Islam simply means Submission (to the will of God). So, anyone who follows the religion of Islam is Muslim. The concept of Islam can easily be derived from this verse of the Quran (42:13)
[42:13] He decreed for you the same religion decreed for Noah, and what we inspired to you (Mohammad), and what we decreed for Abraham, Moses, and Jesus: “You shall uphold this one religion, and do not divide it.” The idol worshipers will greatly resent what you invite them to do. GOD redeems to Himself whomever He wills; He guides to Himself only those who totally submit.
The above Quranic verses, along with numerous other verses, confirm the truth that as far as God is concerned, there has always been one religion Islam, which was decreed for Noah, Abraham, Moses, Jesus, and Mohammad. All the scriptures revealed to mankind from God advocate one and the same religion. In this religion God calls Submission or in Arabic Islam.
It is a mistaken concept among Muslim and non-Muslims alike that Islam was founded by Mohammad, who was happened to be an Arab. Satan successfully duped the majority of people on earth including the majority of ignorant Muslims by making them believe that Islam is an Arabian religion or a religion of Mohammad!
Why “Mary” cannot be a good Islamic name for girls!? God Almighty chose her among all the women.
[3:42] The angels said, “O Mary, GOD has chosen you and purified you. He has chosen you from all the women.
[3:36] When she gave birth to her, she said, “My Lord, I have given birth to a girl” – GOD was fully aware of what she bore – “The male is not the same as the female. I have named her Mary, and I invoke Your protection for her and her descendants from the rejected devil.”
Why “Jesus” or “Zachariah” or “Moses” cannot be good Islamic name for boys? The name of Moses is mentioned so many times in the Quran! Jesus was one of those closest to God.
[3:45] The angels said, “O Mary, GOD gives you good news: a Word from Him whose name is `The Messiah, Jesus the son of Mary. He will be prominent in this life and in the Hereafter, and one of those closest to Me.’
[19:7] “O Zachariah, we give you good news; a boy whose name shall be John (Yahya). We never created anyone like him before.”
God and His messenger condemn innovation. God and His messenger condemn division.
[7:71] He said, “You have incurred condemnation and wrath from your Lord. Do you argue with me in defense of innovations you have fabricated – you and your parents – which were never authorized by GOD? Therefore, wait and I will wait along with you.”
[6:159] Those who divide themselves into sects do not belong with you. Their judgment rests with GOD, then He will inform them of everything they have done.
[30:32] (Do not fall in idol worship,) like those who divide their religion into sects; each party rejoicing with what they have.
[42:14] Ironically, they broke up into sects only after the knowledge had come to them, due to jealousy and resentment among themselves. If it were not for a predetermined decision from your Lord to respite them for a definite interim, they would have been judged immediately. Indeed, the later generations who inherited the scripture are full of doubts.

The Moon-Splitting Miracle
The moon splitting was a miracle with which Allah The Almighty supported the Prophet, sallallaahu ‘alayhi wa sallam. The moon split into two parts, and some Companions saw the mountain of Hiraa’ between them. This miracle took place before the prophetic emigration when the Makkan disbelievers asked the Prophet, sallallaahu ‘alayhi wa sallam, to provide them with evidence of the truthfulness of his Da‘wah (call). The Hadeeth reads: “The people of Makkah asked the Prophet, sallallaahu ‘alayhi wa sallam, to provide them with a sign [that would prove the truthfulness of his message]. He consequently showed them the moon divided into two parts until they saw the mountain of Hiraa’ between them.” [Al-Bukhaari and Muslim]
Ibn Mas‘ood, may Allah be pleased with him, said, “During the lifetime of the Prophet, sallallaahu ‘alayhi wa sallam, the moon split into two parts – one of them was above the mountain and the other at the bottom of it. The Prophet, sallallaahu ‘alayhi wa sallam, then said:‘Bear witness [to that]’” [Al-Bukhaari and Muslim]
Ibn Mas‘ood, may Allah be pleased with him, also said, “I saw the mountain of Hiraa’ between the two split halves of the moon.”
The moon splitting is one of the signs of the hour that have, of course, already taken place. It was narrated that the Prophet, sallallaahu ‘alayhi wa sallam, said: “Five [signs of the Hour] have occurred: the smoke, the moon splitting, [the defeat of] the Romans, Al-Batshah, and Al-Lizaam.” [Al-Bukhaari and Muslim]
Al-Lizaam refers to either aridity or the sticking of corpses to one another at the battle of Badr. Al-Batshah (the mighty grasp) refers to the killing that occurred at the battle of Badr.
The moon splitting is mentioned in the Quran coupled with the approach of the Hour. Allah The Almighty Says (what means): {The Hour has come near, and the moon has split [in two]} [Quran 54:1]
However, because of their natural belying and obstinacy, the Qurayshis turned away and described the incident as magic. Allah The Almighty Says (what means): {And if they see a miracle, they turn away and say, ‘Passing magic’} [Quran 54:2]
Their argument, of course, is no more than a refutable malicious allegation that was even refuted in the past. Abu Is’haaq Az-Zajjaaj, may Allah have mercy upon him, said, “Some of the religious innovators agreed with the non-Muslims in negating the incident of the moon splitting. Reason should not deny this in any way, for the moon is created by Allah The Almighty who does whatever He wills as He will wrap it up in darkness and destroy it on the Day of Resurrection.”
Some have argued that if the moon had truly split, it would have been consecutively narrated by a huge number of narrators and all the people on earth would have known it – and knowing it would not have been exclusive to the Makkans. This, however, is refuted by the fact that the incident took place during the night, while most people were asleep, doors were shut and there were very few people who examined the sky. There may be a lunar eclipse and great stars appear at night while none witnesses this except a few people. Also, the moon splitting was a miracle that took place at night for obstinate people who asked for it, so none but them needed to witness it. The moon that night might have been in a place in the sky that allowed it to be seen only in some places, just as the solar eclipse appears in some places and disappears in others.
Al-Khattaabi, may Allah have mercy upon him, was quoted as saying, “The moon splitting is a great miracle which is hardly comparable to any other of the miracles of the prophets. This is due to its occurrence in the kingdom of heaven away from the norms of this complex [earthly] world – so none longs for reaching it by any means, and, therefore, taking it as a proof is even more binding.”
Some modern studies, which are interested in studying the surface of the moon, proved the existence of traces of ruptures and splitting. This motivated some people to embrace Islam when they knew that the Quran mentioned this incident centuries ago. Exalted is Allah who showed evidence of His Divinity and great creation. Allah The Almighty Says (what means): {We will show them Our signs in the horizons and within themselves until it becomes clear to them that it is the truth. But is it not sufficient concerning your Lord that He is, over all things, a Witness?} [Quran 41:53]

Keep Up Prayer And Enjoin The Good And Forbid The Evil
Luqman (alaihi salaam) instructions to his Son: “O My Son! Keep up Prayer And Enjoin The Good And Forbid The Evil, And Bear Patiently That Which Befalls You; Surely These Acts Require Courage”. 31. Surah Luqman: Ayah 17
Narrated by Abu Huraira (Radi Allah Anhu) Allah’s Apostle (sal-allahu-alleihi-wasallam) Said: “The Congregational Prayer Of Anyone Amongst You is More Than Twenty (five or twenty-seven) times in reward Than His Prayer in The market or in his House, for if he performs ablution completely and then goes to the mosque with the sole intention of performing the prayer, and nothing urges him to proceed to the mosque except the prayer, then, on every step which he takes towards the mosque, he will be raised one degree or one of his sins will be forgiven. The angels will keep on asking Allah’s forgiveness and blessings for every one of you so long as he keeps sitting at his praying place. The angels will say, ‘O Allah, bless him! O Allah, be merciful to him!’ as long as he does not do Hadath or a thing which gives trouble to the other.” The Prophet further said, “One is regarded in prayer so long as one is waiting for the prayer.” Sahih Al-Bukhari: Volume 3, Book 34 Sales and Trade , Number 330

Call Upon Me, I Will Answer You; Surely Those Who Are Too Proud For My Service Shall Soon Enter Hell Abased.40. Surah Momin: Ayah 60
It is Narrated On The Authority Of Abu Huraira (Radi Allah Anhu) That:” When The Son Of Adam Recites The Ayat Of Sajdah (Prostration) And Then Falls Down in Prostration, The Satan Goes into Seclusion And Weeps And Says: Alas, And in The Narration Of Abu Kuraib The Words Are: Woe Unto Me, The Son Of Adam Was Commanded To Prostrate, And He Prostrated And Paradise Was Entitled To Him And I Was Commanded To Prostrate, But I Refused And Am Doomed To Hell.” Sahih Muslim : Book 1 Kitab Al-Iman, Number 144
It is Narrated On The Authority Of Jabir (Radi Allah Anhu) That He Heard The Apostle (may peace and blessings be upon him) Saying ” Verily Between Man And Between Polytheism And Unbelief is The Negligence Of Prayer.” Sahih Muslim : Book 1 Kitab Al-Iman, Number 146
Best Deed
It is Narrated On The Authority Of ‘Abdullah b. Mas’ud (Radi Allah Anhu) That He Observed. I Asked The Messenger Of Allah (Sallalahu Allaihi wasallam) Which Deed Was The Best. He (the Holy Prophet) Replied: Prayer At its Appointed Hour.
I (again) said: Then what?
He (the Holy Prophet) Replied: Kindness to the parents.
I (again) said: Then what?
He replied: Earnest endeavor (Jihad) in the cause of Allah.
And I would have not ceased asking more questions but out of regard (for his feelings). Sahih Muslim : Book 1 Kitab Al-Iman, Number 151
It is reported on the authority of ‘Abdullah (Radi Allah Anhu) that the Apostle of Allah (sal-allahu-alleihi-wasallam) observed: “The best of’ the deeds or deed is the (observance of) prayer at its proper time and kindness to the parents.” Sahih Muslim : Book 1 Kitab Al-Iman, Number 155
