The Importance of Choosing a Good friend and One Story

Dear Readers, As  Salaamu Alaikum!

ALL PRAISES AND THANKS TO ALLAH, LORD OF THE WORLDS!!

Everybody wants to have good friends. A person is known by the company he keeps. Just as it is important to have good friends in our life, it is more important to have “righteous” friends who encourage you to do good and forbid evil, who not only help you in this world but also  contribute in making  your Hereafter better.

You should have good friends who correct your mistakes and inform you about the consequences of your actions. If good company is sought in the course of worldly journeys and travel, what should be the case in the travel of the Hereafter where the believer is in greater need to have a righteous helper and an agreeable companion who would be, in relation to his friend, like two hands that wash the other.They are righteous people who guide you to the way of righteousness and direct you with their kind words if you commit an undutiful or a semi-undutiful act.

Hence, it becomes mandatory to get rid of bad friends who are the reason behind every catastrophe. You should know, especially in this stage of adolescence,  that friends are chosen by the adolescent according to his desire and inclination. The grave problem is that this test often comes spontaneously where the child grows up with a neighbor at school or university. This friend may become the reason behind his undutifulness through absorbing behavior due to frequent interaction over a period of time. So, you should select your friends cautiously and deliberately.

Remember on the Day of Resurrection, we all will be questioned with regards to our friends, our behavior with them, how we used to treat our friends, did we encourage them to do good or whether we were partner in doing evil. Because the friendship we have in this world with some person is carried forward on the Day of Judgement as well. Az-Zuhd, Of Ibn Al-Mubaarak, #368 has given a small description of The Fate Of Friendship In The Hereafter.

The meaning of sending blessings upon the Prophet (Sallalahu Alaihi wa Sallam)

Dear Readers, As  Salaamu Alaikum!

ALL PRAISES AND THANKS TO ALLAH, LORD OF THE WORLDS!!

Today is the blessed day of the week-  Friday.  

It is highly recommended to recite Durood or Salawaat on Fridays as it is the most sacred day. Durood is invocation of Allah's blessings on Prophet Muhammad (Salallahu 'Alaihi wa'Sallam) just in the manner of Salutations on him

Allah (Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala) has mentioned in the Holy Qur'an:

"INNALLAAHA WA-MALAAIKATAHU YUSALLUNA ALANNABIYYI YAA AYYUHALLAZINAA AAMANU SALLU'ALAIHI WA SALLIMU TASLIMA"

(HOLY QURA'AN: 33:56)

"Surely Allah and His, angels recite Salawaat on Holy Prophet. Oh! You believers do the same thing and send Salutations and blessings with worthy salutations on the Prophet."

The Durood is called and considered as the noblest prayer. It is a sure means to attain salvation and perfect peace plus maximum gain in this world as well as the next. The best of the Duroods is Durood –e- Ibrahim.

Pillars of Hajj

Assalam o Alaikum Dear Readers!

There are three basic pillars for performing Hajj

1.To enter into state of "Ihram" and have the intention to perform the pilgrimage.

2.To stay at the field of "Arafat" on the ninth of Dul-Hajj If someone cannot go to the field of Arafat even for a short time then his/her pilgrimage will not be complete. He/she has to perform the pilgrimage 

again the following year.

3.Additional circling of the "Ka'ba" that is done after the stay at the field of "Arafat" and performed from the tenth to the end of the month.

Hajj or pilgrimage to Mecca is one of the five pillars ofIslam. Hajj was made obligatory in the 9th year of Hijra. The Holy Prophet sent off 300 Muslims under the leadership of Hazrat Abubakr Siddique (may Allah be pleased with him) to Mecca so that they could perform Hajj. That was the year when it was banned for the Mushrikeen (those who associate partners with Allah) to enter Ka'ba. It was also made unlawful to perform Tawaaf (circling of Ka'ba) with naked body.

9 Tips to Getting Those Good Deeds Done

Dear Readers, As  Salaamu Alaikum!

You close your eyes and think of the “good” deeds you did in the way of Allah (Subhanahu wa Ta’ala). You gave sadaqah, you gave a ride to someone to the masjid, shared a hadith and saw someone implementing it, helped out someone read the Qur’an today, visited a sick neighbor or called a relative and earned lots of du’aas from them.

And you smile and think, Alhamdulillah, you did something today, in sha Allah tomorrow you would do more.

And then a tiny voice says, “But what if in spite of all the good deeds I did, I still don’t please my Rabb?” And we worry; was it accepted or not? Let’s look at some conditions that we can fulfil before doing and after doing the good deeds: 

1. Make your intention clear before you do the deed
Ever wondered why the first hadith in Sahih Bukhari is “The reward of deeds depends upon the intentions and every person will get the reward according to what he has intended”? (Bukhari)

It is because the whole criteria of acceptance is “intentions” if we intend to do something for the sake of earning the pleasure of Allah (Subhanahu wa Ta’ala) vis a vis acclaim or the love of some one in the dunya, then that’s all we will get. We should make a firm intention in our hearts and seek refuge from the Shaitan. This also helps us in doing our deeds with excellence, as we are doing it to please Allah (Subhanahu wa Ta’ala)and we will then give it our 100% in sha Allah.
