Allah سُبْحَانَهُ وتَعَالَى

(S5)

The Messenger ﷺ explained that Surah [36:58] refers to the awesome event when Allah سُبْحَانَهُ وتَعَالَى gives Salaam to the inhabitants of Paradise.

A look into the scientific miracles mentioned in the Qur’an and Sunnah.

Surah [65:12] mentions that it is Allah سُبْحَانَهُ وتَعَالَى Who has created the 7 Heavens and likewise for the Earth. Recent studies have found that the Earth has 7 layers.

Allah سُبْحَانَهُ وتَعَالَى

(S4)

The Messenger ﷺ: “Mentioning the blessings of Allah سُبْحَانَهُ وتَعَالَى is gratitude. If you don’t talk about Allah’s سُبْحَانَهُ وتَعَالَى blessings, this is ingratitude”.

The child’s fitrah can be corrupted by their parents, even if the parents are Muslims (they can teach the child wrong things etc).

A look into the meaning of Islam. Islam is the religion chosen for us by Allah سُبْحَانَهُ وتَعَالَى

Allah سُبْحَانَهُ وتَعَالَى

(S3)

The Messenger ﷺ: “Do not become heedless such that you forget the Mercy”.

Ibn Taymiyyah (r.h) said you will not find peace, happiness, joy etc if you do not obey and worship Allah سُبْحَانَهُ وتَعَالَى.

Just as riba has 70 types, so does Shirk. It is also shirk to believe in bad omens and superstitious beliefs, such as avoiding walking under ladders etc.

Allah سُبْحَانَهُ وتَعَالَى

(S2)

Whatever Allah سُبْحَانَهُ وتَعَالَى decrees for the believer, it is the best for him.

Allah سُبْحَانَهُ وتَعَالَى mentions that for some of His servants, wealth is better. Poverty would corrupt them. Some are better off poor, wealth could ruin them. Some are better off ill. Some are better off healthy. Every test we go through is tailor made for us.

The Messenger ﷺ said you may have sins equal to mount Uhud, and you may have a headache/fever. That headache/fever won’t leave you until your sins are removed.

Allah سُبْحَانَهُ وتَعَالَى

(S1)

Abu Haazim (r.h) said that Allah سُبْحَانَهُ وتَعَالَى knew before He سُبْحَانَهُ وتَعَالَى wrote. He سُبْحَانَهُ وتَعَالَى wrote before He سُبْحَانَهُ وتَعَالَى created.

Allah سُبْحَانَهُ وتَعَالَى knows everything. Every bird that flies, every leaf that falls, every seed that is in the Earth, Allah سُبْحَانَهُ وتَعَالَى knows it all.

Abdullah Ibn Abaas رضي الله عنهم recited Surah [20:7] [“He (سُبْحَانَهُ وتَعَالَى) knows what is secret and what is more hidden”]. Ibn Abaas رضي الله عنهم said the secret is the sin you know within yourself, Allah سُبْحَانَهُ وتَعَالَى knows this too. The more hidden is the sins you are going to commit in the future, only Allah سُبْحَانَهُ وتَعَالَى knows this.

Preparations for the Akhirah

(S5)

Abdullah Ibn Masud رضي الله عنه mentions in a report that there is a large body of water that is above the Kursi and is below the Arsh. The Messenger ﷺ said the distance between the top and bottom of this ocean is like the distance between the Heavens and the Earth.

Our mother Umm Salamah رضي الله عنهم asked the Messenger ﷺ some questions regarding verses in the Quran. He ﷺ mentioned that the Hooris have eyelashes like the wings of eagles. They are preserved, like pearls, untouched by anyone.

The women of this world are 70,000x superior to the hooris, for the women of this world prayed Salah, fasted etc.

Preparations for the Akhirah

(S4)

Abdullah Ibn Abaas رضي الله عنهم mentions that the water of Paradise is completely pure, it doesn’t become corrupted like it does here on Earth.

Sa’eed Ibn Jubayr (r.h) explained that the milk doesn’t come from the udders of cattle, the honey doesn’t come from the bellies of bees and the wine isn’t pressed like it is here on Earth!

The rivers in Paradise spring from beneath mountains and hills of musk.

The Messenger ﷺ: “Water is the chief of all drinks in this world and in the hereafter”.

Preparations for the Akhirah

(S3)

Paradise:

Surah [56:28] mentions thornless lote trees. The Messenger ﷺ said the lote trees of Paradise will be thornless. Instead of thorns there will be fruits of 70 colours. These colours do not exist on Earth!

Abu Hurayrah رضي الله عنه said the tree is named Tooba. From it emerges a bridled horse, saddled. A saddled camel also emerges. Clothes also emerge. (Tailored specifically for you). Such are the trees of Paradise!

In Paradise there is an ocean of milk, honey, wine and water. The rivers of Paradise flow from these.

Preparations for the Akhirah

(S2)

The Messenger ﷺ: “Visit the graves, but do not say any falsehood there”.

Umar رضي الله عنه: “Make these snakes that enter your homes fear you, before you fear them. The Muslims amongst the jinn never appear before you”.

The Shayateen play games in our homes. They put things on our beds (sticks, stones etc) to make us angry at our family. The Shaytaan doing this is called Daasim.

Preparations for the Akhirah

(S1)

The Messenger ﷺ said Allah سُبْحَانَهُ وتَعَالَى Has given a cure to every illness except old age.

A dua to make for someone who is ill: Abu Nuhayla رضي الله عنه supplicated: “O Allah سُبْحَانَهُ وتَعَالَى, decrease the illness, but do not decrease the reward”.

When Abdullah Ibn Umar رضي الله عنهم would visit the sick, upon leaving he رضي الله عنه would say: “May Allah سُبْحَانَهُ وتَعَالَى grant you what is better”.

Death is a gift for the believer. We will meet Allah سُبْحَانَهُ وتَعَالَى only after we die.
