Link to the HOW TO PRAY SALAH by Sheikh Assim

- step by step with authentic narrations to back it up

Hadith stating - Our beloved Prophet Muhammad ‏

صلى الله عليه وسلم

saying- “pray as you have seen me pray”

Sahih al-Bukhari 631

Narrated Malik:

We came to the Prophet (ﷺ) and stayed with him for twenty days and nights. We were all young and of about the same age. The Prophet (ﷺ) was very kind and merciful. When he realized our longing for our families, he asked about our homes and the people there and we told him. Then he asked us to go back to our families and stay with them and teach them (the religion) and to order them to do good things. He also mentioned some other things which I have (remembered or [??] ) forgotten. The Prophet (ﷺ) then added, "Pray as you have seen me praying and when it is the time for the prayer one of you should pronounce the Adhan and the oldest of you should lead the prayer.

Allah swt forgives all sins including shirk IF ONE repents

Shirk is only unforgivable when one dies on it.

Indeed, Allah does not forgive associating others with Him ˹in worship˺,1 but forgives anything else of whoever He wills. And whoever associates others with Allah has indeed committed a grave sin.

Quran 4:48

Regarding following the Salaf:

Sahih al-Bukhari 6429

Narrated `Abdullah:

The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "The best people are those of my generation, and then those who will come after them (the next generation), and then those who will come after them (i.e. the next generation), and then after them, there will come people whose witness will precede their oaths, and whose oaths will precede their witness.

Well this episode is for you 🫂

The Gift Of Pain

Sahih al-Bukhari 5641, 5642

Narrated Abu Sa`id Al-Khudri and Abu Huraira:

The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "No fatigue, nor disease, nor sorrow, nor sadness, nor hurt, nor distress befalls a Muslim, even if it were the prick he receives from a thorn, but that Allah expiates some of his sins for that."

{…That is because whenever they suffer from thirst, fatigue, or hunger in the cause of Allah; or tread on a territory, unnerving the disbelievers; or inflict any loss on an enemy—it is written to their credit as a good deed. Surely Allah never discounts the reward of the good-doers.}

Quran 9:120

References from episode:

Sunan Abi Dawud 4985

Narrated A man:

Salim ibn AbulJa'dah said: A man said: (Mis'ar said: I think he was from the tribe of Khuza'ah): would that I had prayed, and got comfort. The people objected to him for it. Thereupon he said: I heard the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) as saying: O Bilal, call iqamah for prayer: give us comfort by it.

Sahih al-Bukhari 7563

Narrated Abu Huraira:

The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "(There are) two words which are dear to the Beneficent (Allah) and very light (easy) for the tongue (to say), but very heavy in weight in the balance. They are: ''Subhan Allah wa-bi hamdihi'' and ''Subhan Allah Al-`Azim."

Hello assalamu alaikum wa rahmatullah wa barakatuh !

In this episode Nafisa reflects on accepting life as it is and the journey to pursuing patience.

It was narrated from Mus’ab bin Sa’d that his father, Sa’d bin Abu Waqqas, said:

“I said: ‘O Messenger of Allah, which people are most severely tested?’ He said: ‘The Prophets, then the next best and the next best. A person is tested according to his religious commitment. If he is steadfast in his religious commitment, he will be tested more severely, and if he is frail in his religious commitment, his test will be according to his commitment. Trials will continue to afflict a person until they leave him walking on the earth with no sin on him.’”

Grade: Hasan (Darussalam)

Reference : Sunan Ibn Majah 4023

وَلَنَبْلُوَنَّكُم بِشَيْءٍ مِّنَ الْخَوْفِ وَالْجُوعِ وَنَقْصٍ مِّنَ الْأَمْوَالِ وَالْأَنفُسِ وَالثَّمَرَاتِ ۗ وَبَشِّرِ الصَّابِرِينَ

[ البقرة: 155]

English - Sahih International

2:155 And We will surely test you with something of fear and hunger and a loss of wealth and lives and fruits, but give good tidings to the patient,

Tafsir Ibn Katheer in English

Anas narrated that the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said:

"When Allah wants good for his slave, He hastens his punishment in the world. And when He wants bad for His slave, He withholds his sins from him until he appears before Him on the Day of Judgement."

And with this (same) chain, (it was reported) from the Prophet (ﷺ) who said: "Indeed greater reward comes with greater trial. And indeed, when Allah loves a people He subjects them to trials, so whoever is content, then for him is pleasure, and whoever is discontent, then for him is wrath."

Jami` at-Tirmidhi 2396

Allah does not require of any soul more than what it can afford. All good will be for its own benefit, and all evil will be to its own loss. ˹The believers pray,˺ “Our Lord! Do not punish us if we forget or make a mistake. Our Lord! Do not place a burden on us like the one you placed on those before us. Our Lord! Do not burden us with what we cannot bear. Pardon us, forgive us, and have mercy on us. You are our ˹only˺ Guardian. So grant us victory over the disbelieving people.”

Quran 2: 286

Hey Assalamu Alaikum wa rahmatullah wa barakatuh! So reflecting on the little activity we had over a the podcast Instagram page with the girls regarding inauthentic narrations we had heard our whole lives that we later found out were untrue , I realised it is so scary to be the one that shares an inauthentic narration or conveys it to other people.

And while I was listening back on an episode I had posted “ why isn’t something in you moved..?” I remembered there was a specific narration that I read that: One day, a young companion named Anas ibn Malik, accidentally broke a plate and instead of scolding him, the Prophet Sallallahu alaihi wasallam reassured him.

I remembered I had read it but I had not taken note of the reference and I went on to check and could not find any authentic information on it. So I wanted to ask for your forgiveness if you shared that , please forgive me it’s been deleted from the episode now but if you shared the episode in your story please share this one as well so we can help each other .

It’s all scary subhanallah, in a time of social media now and the way everything works so fast we really need to be careful and try our best to make sure what we share has authentic evidence to back it up.

I hope you forgive me. May Allah forgive us all. And I pray this encourages you to be very careful of what you share🤍🪻

Hey everyone assalamu alaikum warahmatullah. Today I listened to this from my drafts. And I found it gave me hope.i hope it is useful 🪻🤍

Sometimes we make mistakes and wonder how on earth we got to such a low.We begin to feel like there’s no going back and we have just ruined our relationship with Allah. But subhanallah understanding there’s something inside of us that prompts us to do things that are actually unacceptable and understanding it’s human to err and understanding the regret we feel is hopefully a sign of our faith and it’s supposed to catalyse our repentance and push us to change- understanding these concepts and being at peace with it while acknowledging we do have something that is a part of us we really need protection from keeps us sane and hopeful .

This is what I’ve learnt about the nafs - the lower/animal self that always just wants and seeks control of our hearts.

I’ve learnt from this that I really need to start heavily praying to Allah to protect me from the evil prompting of my own nafs cause an enemy within is much more dangerous I feel that the enemy outside of you.

But that part of us is not all of us so we shouldn’t allow it to define us , we should seek Allahs help to protect us from listening to it and giving in all the time and also take up measures to deny it when it instructs us to do bad. However not if but when we do slip- because we are children of our Father Adam AS , we are those who make mistakes, we should not be hesitant to return to Allah . To repent to Allah.

Honestly I feel it’s the mercy of Allah that He swt attributes evil to not us directly but factors within us or around us, so we understand that we are not completely bad, we are flawed yes but we are not completely bad.

And I think that’s beautiful 🥹

Another lesson was reflecting on the guilt the generation before us must have felt but that Allah still honoured them after repentance.

Narrated Al-Bara:

We faced the pagans on that day (of the battle of Uhud) and the Prophet (ﷺ) placed a batch of archers (at a special place) and appointed `Abdullah (bin Jubair) as their commander and said, "Do not leave this place; if you should see us conquering the enemy, do not leave this place, and if you should see them conquering us, do not (come to) help us," So, when we faced the enemy, they took to their heels till I saw their women running towards the mountain, lifting up their clothes from their legs, revealing their leg-bangles. The Muslims started saying, "The booty, the booty!" `Abdullah bin Jubair said, "The Prophet (ﷺ) had taken a firm promise from me not to leave this place." But his companions refused (to stay). So when they refused (to stay there), (Allah) confused them so that they could not know where to go, and they suffered seventy casualties….

Sahih al-Bukhari 4043, 4044

Finding Balance Between The Spiritual and material - Surah Al Qiyaamah

“Isn’t it yet time you feel something when you remember Allah?”

*in the beginning parts of the episode I said don’t be intimidated by the Quran , in the sense of fearing it when you’ve made a mistake that you avoid it and neglect it completely. don’t run away from Allah. Yes you should be scared. Ashamed . Frightened at the thought of the consequences of what you’ve done but who will you run to? Come back to Allah ,don’t let “fear” push you away. It’s a trick. Pick up the Quran with all the shame you feel and fear. Repent to Allah. He will guide you and forgive you.Allahs door is always open.🥹

In this episode, we explore a powerful verse in the Quran where Allah (SWT) asks, *"Isn’t it yet time for those who believe to feel something when they remember Him?"* This question is a call to reflect on our hearts—are they softened by His remembrance, or have they grown hard?

“Has the time not yet come for believers' hearts to be humbled at the remembrance of Allah and what has been revealed of the truth, and not be like those given the Scripture before—˹those˺ who were spoiled for so long that their hearts became hardened. And many of them are ˹still˺ rebellious.” Quran 57:16

“And ˹remember˺ when We took a covenant from the children of Israel ˹stating˺, “Worship none but Allah; be kind to parents, relatives, orphans and the needy; speak kindly to people; establish prayer; and pay alms-tax.” But you ˹Israelites˺ turned away—except for a few of you—and were indifferent” Quran 2:83

We delve into how our approach to others can shape our spiritual path. Sometimes, in seeking piety, we mistakenly think it means being harsh or distant. But true faith transforms us from within, reflected in kindness, gentleness, and love toward others. When we lose compassion, our acts of worship can feel empty.

We end with a reminder of how Allah (SWT) guides us toward true heart-softening:

1. ​Devote yourself to Him alone.
2. ​Honor your parents and nurture those relationships that need you—relatives, orphans, and the needy.
3. ​Speak beautifully to and about others.
4. ​Pray regularly to stay connected.
5. ​Give zakat.
