The Virtue of Sleeping in Wudhoo(Ablution)

 As Salaamu Alaikum!

Why is it important that when you go to bed, you should perform your ablutions (wudhoo)?

Ammaa Ba’d:

Upon the authority of Ibn Umar -Radhiyallahu ‘Anhumaa -who said that the Messenger – Sallallahu ‘Alaihi Was Salam Said:

“Purify these Bodies (of yours), May Allah grant you purity, for indeed there is not a servant that spends the night in a state of purification except that an angel spends the night with him in his hair. He does not turn at anytime during the night except that the angel says: “Oh Allah forgive your servant for indeed he spent the night in a state of purity!”


(Collected by Imaamut Tabaraani in ‘Mu’jam al Kabeer (13620) and declared ‘Hasan’ by shaikh Al Albaani in ‘Saheehul Jaami’ (3936))

(7) Following the Prophet’s example in the case of anger:

The Prophet (Sallallahu Alaihi wa Sallam) is our leader and has set the highest example in this matter, as is recorded in a number of ahaadeeth. One of the most famous was reported by Anas, may ALLAH be pleased with him, who said: "I was walking with the Messenger of ALLAH (Sallallahu Alaihi wa Sallam), and he was wearing a Najraani cloak with a rough collar. A Bedouin came and seized him roughly by the edge of his cloak, and I saw the marks left on his neck by the collar. Then the Bedouin ordered him to give him some of the wealth of ALLAH that he had. The Prophet (Sallallahu Alaihi wa Sallam) turned to him and smiled, then ordered that he should be given something." (Agreed upon. Fath al-Baari, 10/375)

The Quran and Hadiths on the poor and needy

Dear Readers, As Salaamu Alaikum!

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

Zakaat is one of the pillars of Islam. It is obligatory on all the Muslims to spend on the poor and needy. This should be done entirely for the sake of Allah Subhanahu wa Ta’ala and not to “show off”. Zakaat is one of the best ways to purify yourself and also to help safeguard you from the evils.

The importance of Zakaat has been mentioned several times in the Qur’an and the Hadiths. So let us read more on it.

1. The Quran

Attitude of the giver of charity

Those who spend their wealth in the way of Allah and do not follow up their spending by stressing their benevolence and causing hurt, will find their reward secure with their Lord. They have no cause for fear and grief.

To speak a kind word and to forgive people's faults is better than charity followed by hurt.Allah is All-Sufficient, All-Forbearing

Believers! Do not nullify your acts of charity by stressing your benevolence and causing hurt as does he who spends his wealth only to be seen by men and does not believe in Allah and the Last Day. The example of his spending is that of a rock with a thin coating of earth upon it: when a heavy rain smites it, the earth is washed away, leaving the rock bare; such people derive no gain from their acts of charity. Allah does not set the deniers of the Truth on the right way. (2:262 - 264)

10 TIPS ON HOW TO CONCENTRATE DURING SALAAT (PRAYERS)

Dear Readers, As  Salaamu Alaikum!

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

Salah is a sort of programming towards righteousness, that we are programmed towards righteousness. And the requirement [is] that it should be repeated [a] minimum [of] 5 times a day. For example for a very healthy body, a doctor will tell you, you require [a] minimum [of] 3 meals a day. Similarly for a spiritual soul, a person is required to offer Salah 5 times a day. And the requirement is, [that] there are chances that because of the evil in the society around us, we may get de-programmed. So if we are kept on being re-programmed, there are more chances that you will remain [steadfast on the] Sirat al mustaqeem, on the straight path. Therefore it is compulsory that every Muslim should offer Salah [a] minimum [of] 5 times a day.

However, Salaah may turn pointless or unconstructive if you do not concentrate in it. What is the point praying when your mind is drifting somewhere else and you cannot concentrate on what you the Imaam is saying in the prayer ?
