The words of the Quran and teachings of our Prophet Muhammad guide us to a wealth of wisdom and knowledge. In fact, Allah calls Quran the “Book of wisdom” in many places in the Quran. He says: “A.L.R. These are the ayats of the Book of wisdom.” (Yunus, Chapter #10, Verse #1). The Almighty also says: “We have sent it down as an Arabic Quran, in order that ye may learn wisdom.”

 (Yusuf, Chapter #12, Verse #2)

Allah sent prophets and messengers to propagate that wisdom. He says in one of such verses: “A similar (favor have ye already received) is that We have sent among you a Messenger of your own, rehearsing to you Our Signs, and sanctifying you, and instructing you in Scripture and wisdom, and in new knowledge.”

 (Al-Baqara, Chapter #2, Verse #151)”

In its text, Quran also teaches wisdom through the words of a person named Luqman. Although not a prophet, Allah had granted him enormous wisdom. He was wise enough to have an entire chapter named after him. He was a pious person and according to the Quran was granted wisdom by Allah. As Allah says in the Quran: And indeed We bestowed upon Luqman AlHikmah (wisdom and religious understanding, etc.) saying: “Give thanks to Allah,” and whoever gives thanks, he gives thanks for (the good of) his ownself. And whoever is unthankful, then verily, Allah is All Rich (Free of all wants), Worthy of all praise.

 (Luqman: 12)

And we have indeed made the Qur'an easy to understand and remember... -Qur'an [54:22]

WHAT IS THE QURAN?

ALLAH, The Exalted has informed The Mankind thus:

“Mankind was one single nation, and Allah sent Messengers with glad tidings and warnings; and with them He sent the Book in truth;” [2:213 – Yusuf Ali]

1. ALLAH, The Exalted, Revealed and Sent, The QURAN, In Truth

“We have revealed the Quran with the truth, and with the truth it has come down.” [17:105 – Wahiduddin]

“We have sent down the Qur´an with the Truth, and it is with the Truth that it has descended.” [17:105 – Maududi]

2. ALLAH, The Exalted has Commanded the mankind, thus:

“O you who have attained to faith! Hold fast unto your belief in God and His Apostle, and in the divine writ which He has bestowed from on high upon His Apostle, step by step, as well as in the revelation which He sent down aforetime: for he who denies God, and His angels, and His revelations, and His apostles, and the Last Day, has indeed gone far astray.” [Quran - 4:136 - Asad]

3. ALLAH’S Unique Revelation – The QURAN

Inscribed in a Tablet Preserved [85:22]

Protected against corruption [15:9]

Easy to Remember (Memorise) [54:17]

4. ALLAH’S Imperishable Revelation

If all the Copies of the Text of The Quran, all Tapes, CDs, Hard Drives or any other means for preserving Texts, known to man, containing the Quranic Text were destroyed, ALLAH’S Quran will still be with mankind. By ALLAH’S Mercy, ALLAH’S Guidance will continue to be Transmitted, Understood, Embraced and Practiced, as has been done, for more than 1400 years, via Oral Transmissions. [2]

5. QURAN speaks about itself to mankind, thus:

“And indeed (by revealing it through human language) We have made the Quran easy for remembrance (of God, and taking heed), then is there any that remembers and takes heed?” [54:17 – Ali Unal: Repeated and Reiterated in following Verses 54:22; 32; 40]

“Will they not, then, ponder over this Quran? - or are there locks upon their hearts?

[47:24 – Asad]

“This Quran, assuredly, guides to that which is most upright and gives to the believers, who do righteous deeds, the glad tidings that there awaits them a great reward,” 

[17:9 – Amatul Rahman Omar]

“All praise belongs to Allah, who has sent down the Book to His servant and did not let any crookedness be in it,” [18:1 – Ali Quli Qara’i]

“Do they not, then, ponder about the Quran? Had it been from someone other than Allah, they would have found in it a great deal of discrepancy.” [4:82 – Taqi Usmani]

“Indeed We have explained in this Quran every subject in various ways for the benefit of the people, but out of all creation, man is most disputing.”

[18:54 – Taqi Usmani]

There was a Sheikh who was teaching his students Aqeedah (faith), He taught them 'la ilaha illa Allah' and explained it to them.
The Sheikh loved keeping pets, so he was given a parrot by one of the students as a gift.

And with days the Sheikh started to like
the parrot.
He used to take it in his lessons, until the parrot knew how to say la ilaha illa Allah, He would  utter it day and night. One day the students found their Sheikh crying and sobbing.
When they asked him the reason, he told them that a cat attacked the parrot and killed it. 
They said: Is this the reason you are
crying! If you wish we will bring you another parrot better than that one.

The Sheikh said: I am not crying because
of this... But it made me cry when the cat
attacked the parrot.
It was shouting and screaming until it died.
He used to say la ilaha illa Allah a lot.

However, when he was attacked by a cat he forgot to say it.
He did nothing but scream!
Because he used to say it with his tongue only, and his heart did not learn it, so it didn't feel it!

Then the Sheikh said: I am afraid to be like this parrot, we live our lives repeating la ilaha illa Allah with our tongues, but when death comes we forget it because our hearts did not know it.
When he told his students, they started crying in fear of lack of honesty in saying "La ilaha illa Allah".
_____
May Allah grant us " ﻻ ﺍﻟﻪ ﺍﻻًﺍﻟﻠﻪ" in our hearts and on our tongues, and the time of death.

Aameeen.

"Allah would not punish them as long as they sought forgiveness." -Al Qur'an {8:33}

"Allah would not punish them as long as they sought forgiveness." -Al Qur'an {8:33}

*YOU WILL GET use TO ISTAGHFAR AFTER READING THIS ان شاء الله.* A man once came to al-Hasan al-Basri and complained to him:
*“The sky does not shower us with rain.”*
He replied:
*“Seek Allah’s forgiveness (i.e. say ﺃﺳﺘﻐﻔﺮ ﺃﻟﻠﻪ ).”* Then another person came to him and said,
*“I complain of poverty*.”
He replied:
“ *Seek Allah’s forgiveness*” Then another person came to him and complained,
*"My wife is barren; she cannot bear children."*
  He replied:
*“Seek Allah’s forgiveness.”* The people who were present, said to al-Hasan:
*“Everytime a person came to you complaining, you instructed them to Only to seek Allah’s forgiveness?”* Al-Hasan al-Basri said,
“Have you not read the statement of Allah
*“Ask forgiveness of your Lord. Truly He is Oft-Forgiving. He will send rain to you in abundance; increase you in wealth and children; grant you gardens and bestow on you rivers.”‘”* _[Nuh (71):10-12]_
There are two things in the earth that give a person safety and security from the punishment of Allah. The first has been removed, whilst the second still remains. As for the first, it was the Messenger of Allah ( ﺻﻠﻲ ﺃﻟﻠﻪ ﻋﻠﻴﻪ ﻭ ﺳﻠﻢ ).
*“Allah would not punish them while you were among them.”* _[al-Anfal (8):33]_ As for the second, it is istighfar.
*“Allah would not punish them as long as they sought forgiveness.”* _[al-Anfal (8):33]_
*ﺃﺳﺘﻐﻔﺮ اﻟﻠﻪ …*
Do not ever leave istighfar
ﺃﺳﺘﻐﻔﺮ اﻟﻠﻪ واتوب اليه
Astaghfirullaaha wa ‘atoobu ‘ilayhi. Rasul Allah (sallallaahu ‘alayhi wa sallam) said, *“If anyone continually asks forgiveness, Allah will appoint for him a way out of every distress, relief from anxiety, and will provide for him from where he never realized.”* _[Abu Dawood, Hadith 59]_

Sadaqah does not decrease your wealth.

The Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) said:

 "The believer's shade on the Day of Resurrection 

will be his charity." 

- Al-Tirmidhi, Hadith 604

 

The Prophet also said: "Every act of goodness is charity."

  - Sahih Muslim, Hadith 496

 

"Spend (in charity) out of the sustenance that

 We have bestowed on you before that time when death will come to someone, and he shall say:

 "O my Lord! If only you would grant me reprieve for a little while, then I would give in charity,

 and be among the righteous." 

 - The Holy Quran, 63:10

Tawakkul! Let your heart trust Allah alone to take care of things that you cannot understand.

‘And He will provide him from [sources] he could never imagine. And whoever puts their trust in Allāh, then He will suffice him. Verily, Allāh will accomplish His purpose. Indeed, Allāh has set a measure for all things.'

 Al-Qur’ān, 65:3.

 ‘The believers are only those who, when Allāh is mentioned, feel a fear in their hearts and when His Verses are recited to them, they increase their Faith; and they put their trust in their Lord. 

Al-Qur’ān, 8:2. 

 

 Say: “He is the Most Gracious (Allāh) in Him we believe, and in Him we put our trust. So, you will come to know who it is that is in manifest error.’ 
Al-Qur’ān, 67:29.

 The Prophet (sall Allāhu ʿalayhi wa sallam) said, 

‘A group of people (both men and women) whose hearts will be like the hearts of birds, will enter Jannah’.

-Muslim

 If Allāh helps you, none can overcome you; and if He forsakes you, who is there after Him that can help you? And in Allāh (Alone) let the believers put their trust’.

Al-Qur’ān, 3:160.

True Beauty in a Woman is reflected in her soul in her Shyness in her Deen and Imaan.

Narrated by Abu Huraira (ra): The Prophet said, 

"Faith (Belief) consists of more than sixty branches (i.e. parts). 

And Haya is a part of faith."

 (Bukhari)

 Narrated Aisha (ra): 

"I used to enter my house where 

Allah's Messenger (peace be upon him)  

was and take off my garment, saying that only my 

husband and my father were there; but when Umar was buried along with them, I swear by Allah that I did not enter it without having my clothes wrapped round me owing to modesty regarding Umar."

(at-Tirmidhi and Ahmed) 

 "Say to the believing men that they should lower
 their gaze and guard their modesty:
 that will make for greater purity for them:
 and Allah is well acquainted with all that they do.
 And say to the believing women that they should 
lower their gaze and guard their modesty; 
that they should not display their beauty and ornaments except what (must ordinarily) appear thereof; 
that they should draw their veils over their bosoms 
and not display their beauty……."
