    Hey Guys!! Zara’s here and we’re in MEDINA!!!!🥳🥹


    Insha Allah you benefit from our sisters conversation in the masjid of our beloved right after coming out from the Rawdah.


    May Allah make it beneficial!


    I remembered the Arabic 😭 my teacher used to say :

    may God honour you -

    أكرمكم الله


    - Abu Huraira reported Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) having said:

    By Him in Whose Hand is my life, if you were not to commit sin, Allah would sweep you out of existence and He would replace (you by) those people who would commit sin and seek forgiveness from Allah, and He would have pardoned them.


    Sahih Muslim 2749


    - Narrated Abu Huraira:

    The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "Adam and Moses argued with each other. Moses said to Adam. 'O Adam! You are our father who disappointed us and turned us out of Paradise.' Then Adam said to him, 'O Moses! Allah favored you with His talk (talked to you directly) and He wrote (the Torah) for you with His Own Hand. Do you blame me for action which Allah had written in my fate forty years before my creation?' So Adam confuted Moses, Adam confuted Moses," the Prophet (ﷺ) added, repeating the Statement three times.


    Sahih al-Bukhari 6614


    narrated by al-Bukhaari and Muslim from Abu Hurayrah (may Allah be pleased with him) from the Prophet (blessings and peace of Allah be upon him), who said: “The area between my house and my minbar is one of the gardens of Paradise.” Narrated by al-Bukhaari (1196) and Muslim (1391).


    Anas (RAA) narrated that Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) said:

    “All the sons of Adam are sinners, but the best of sinners are those who repent often.” Related by At·Tirmidhi and Ibn Majah with a strong chain of narrators.


    Abu Hurayrah (may Allah be pleased with him) said: I heard the Prophet (blessings and peace of Allah be upon him) say: “Whoever performs Hajj for the sake of Allah and does not utter any obscene speech or do any evil deed, will go back (free of sin) as his mother bore him.” (Narrated by al-Bukhari, 1449; Muslim, 1350)

    1.

    It was narrated from Abu Hurairah that:


    The Messenger of Allah [SAW] said: "The Muslim is the one from whose tongue and hand the people are safe, and the believer is the one from whom the people's lives and wealth are safe."


    أَخْبَرَنَا قُتَيْبَةُ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا اللَّيْثُ، عَنِ ابْنِ عَجْلاَنَ، عَنِ الْقَعْقَاعِ بْنِ حَكِيمٍ، عَنْ أَبِي صَالِحٍ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ، عَنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم قَالَ ‏ "‏ الْمُسْلِمُ مَنْ سَلِمَ النَّاسُ مِنْ لِسَانِهِ وَيَدِهِ وَالْمُؤْمِنُ مَنْ

    أَمِنَهُ النَّاسُ عَلَى دِمَائِهِمْ وَأَمْوَالِهِمْ ‏"‏ ‏.‏


    Grade: Sahih (Darussalam)

    Reference : Sunan an-Nasa'i 4995

    In-book reference : Book 47, Hadith 11

    English translation : Vol. 6, Book 47, Hadith 4998

    2 .

    Abu Hurairah (RAA) narrated that the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said:


    “If anyone relieves a Muslim believer from one of the hardships of this worldly life, Allah will relieve him of one of the hardships of the Day of Resurrection. If anyone makes it easy for the one who is indebted to him (while finding it difficult to repay), Allah will make it easy for him in this worldly life and in the Hereafter, and if anyone conceals the faults of a Muslim, Allah will conceal his faults in this world and in the Hereafter. Allah helps His slave as long as he helps his brother.” Related by Muslim.

  • is it really love… or is it selfishness?

    Looking and reflecting on what Loving each other compassionately not selfishly is. So sometimes loving someone means you’ll disappoint them.Sometimes loving you means disappointing you.🥹

    For wallahi a true lover loves for you to enter into jannah more than he loves for your relationship to stay intact while you make a way for yourself into jahannam.

    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.

    Are you hurting inside? Wondering why you’re just not excelling anymore? Self doubting? Self hating? Confused? In pain?Having Iman swings?


    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."

  • accepting life as it is & pursuing patience

    A brief correction- the sunnah of salam


    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
