Part 1 Every Night.

السلام عليكم
بِسْمِ اللهِ الرَّحْمنِ الرَّحِيمِ

There are four Surah that if you read every night between Maghrib and the time you go to sleep you will receive a great reward, and amongst other things be pardoned by Allah; receive a reward equal to reading the entire Quran ten times; die as a shaheed (martyr); be protected from starvation and poverty; receive a reward equal to staying awake and making Ibaadah during Laylatul-Qadr; and be protected from the Azaab of the Qabr (punishment of the grave) and the hereafter. Subhanallah!
1: Surah Ya'seen
2: Suratus-Sajdah
3: Suratul-Waaqiah
4: Suratul-Mulk

Rasulullah (صلى الله عليه وسلم) said: "The person who reads Yaseen every night, (he) will be pardoned." (Baihaqi)

Rasulullah (صلى الله عليه وسلم) said: "All things have a heart, the heart of the Quraan is Ya-Seen. The person who reads Yaseen, (once) Allah will record for its reader a thawaab (reward) equal to reading the Quraan ten times. (Tirmizi, Daarimi)

I will Inshallah post up a few hadiths for the other surahs soon.

Distress

السلام عليكم
بِسْمِ اللهِ الرَّحْمنِ الرَّحِيمِ
"For a Mu'mins headache, a thorn prick, or any other thing which causes him distress, Allah will elevate him one degree and wipe out his sins on the day of Resurrection."
Narrated by Abu Sa'id Al-Khudri (Ibne-Abi Dunya, Targhib). Similar hadith narrated by Aisha Radiallahu-anha(Muslim) and Abu Hurairah(pbuh) (Bukhari) as well.

Why say As-Salam?

السلام عليكم
بِسْمِ اللهِ الرَّحْمنِ الرَّحِيمِ
"But when you enter the houses, greet one another with a greeting from Allah (i.e Asalamu Alaikum) blessed and good." (24:61)

"When you are greeted with a greeting, greet in return with what is better than it, or (at least) return it equally." (4:86)

Abdullah bin Salam reported: I heard the Messenger of Allah (صلى الله عليه و سلم ) saying,"O people, exchange greetings of peace (i.e, say: As-Salamu Alaikum to one another), feed people, strengthen the ties of kinship, and be in prayer when others are asleep, you will enter Jannah in peace," [At-Tirmidhi]

Hadith # 861 Page # 709 Riyad-Us-Saliheen.

Abu Umamah Sudaiy bin Ajlan Al-Bahili reported: The Messenger of Allah (صلى الله عليه و سلم ) said, "The person nearest to Allah is one who is first to offer greeting." [Abu Dawoud]

The narration in At-Tirmidhi is: The Messenger of Allah (صلى الله عليه و سلم ) was asked: O Messenger of Allah! When two persons meet, who should greet the other first?" The Messenger of Allah (صلى الله عليه و سلم ) said, "The person nearest to Allah (i.e., one who is more obedient and therefore closer to Allah will say: As-Salam first."

Shake hands

السلام عليكم

Those who are cursed

السلام عليكم
بِسْمِ اللهِ الرَّحْمنِ الرَّحِيمِ
Ibn Mas'ud (Peace be upon him) said: Allah has curse those women who practice tattooing and those women who have themselves tattooed, and those women who get their hair removed from their eyebrows and faces (except the beard and mustache), and those who make artificial spaces between their teeth for beauty, whereby they change Allah's creation. A women started to argue with him, saying: "What is all this?" He replied "Why should I not curse those whom the messenger of Allah (صلى الله عليه و سلم ) cursed and who are cursed in Allah's book." Allah, the exalted, has said in his book:
"And whatsoever the messenger (Muhammed (صلى الله عليه و سلم ) gives you, take it; and whatsoever he forbids you abstain (from it).(59:7)"
[Al-Bukhari and Muslim]

Which act in Islam is the best?

السلام عليكم
بِسْمِ اللهِ الرَّحْمنِ الرَّحِيمِ

Abdullah bin ‘Amr bin Al-As (peace be upon him) reported:

A man asked the messenger of Allah (صلى الله عليه و سلم ), “Which act in Islam is the best?”

He (صلى الله عليه و سلم ) replied, “To feed (the poor and needy) and to greet those whom you know and those whom you do not know.”

[Al Bukhari and Muslim]

Do we need reasons to give?

السلام عليكم
بِسْمِ اللهِ الرَّحْمنِ الرَّحِيمِ

Abu Hurairah (peace be upon him) reported: Everyday two angels descend and one of them says, ‘Oh Allah! Compensate (more) to the person who gives (in charity); while the other one says, ‘Oh Allah! Destroy the one who withholds (charity, etc.) [Al Bukhari]

Every soul shall have a taste of death

السلام عليكم
بِسْمِ اللهِ الرَّحْمنِ الرَّحِيمِ

Lo! those who believe and do good works, their Lord guideth them by their faith. Rivers will flow beneath them in the Gardens of Delight, Their prayer therein will be: Glory be to Thee, O Allah! and their greeting therein will be: Peace. And the conclusion of their prayer will be: Praise be to Allah, Lord of the Worlds! [Yunus 9-10]


I know there are non-mehrem men in this video however I think it can motivate one to set ones priorities straight. So inshallah you can avoid looking at the non-mehrem by scrolling down so that you can read the subtitles.

Comparing yourself to others.

السلام عليكم
بِسْمِ اللهِ الرَّحْمنِ الرَّحِيمِ

Look at those who are inferior to you and do not look at those who are superior to you, for this will keep you from belittling Allah's favors to you. [Al Bukhari & Muslim] This is the wording in Sahih Muslim.
In Al Bukhari it is narrated:
"When one of you looks at someone who is superior to him in property and appearance, he should look at someone who is inferior to him."

Prohibition of heresies in religion

السلام عليكم
بِسْمِ اللهِ الرَّحْمنِ الرَّحِيمِ
Jabir (May Allah be pleased with him) reported: Whenever the Messenger of Allah (PBUH) delivered a Khutbah, his eyes would become red, his tone loud and he showed anger as if he were warning us against an army. He (PBUH) would say, "The enemy is about to attack you in the morning and the enemy is advancing against you in the evening". He would further say, "I am sent with the final Hour like these two fingers of mine.'' Messenger of Allah (PBUH) held up his index finger and the middle finger together to illustrate. He used to add: "To proceed, the best speech is the Book of Allah and the best guidance is the guidance of Muhammad (PBUH), the worst practice is the introduction of new practices in Islam and every Bid`ah is a misguidance". He would also say, "I am, in respect of rights, nearer to every believer than his own self. He who leaves an estate, it belongs to his heirs, and he who leaves a debt, it is my responsibility to pay it off.'' [Muslim].

Time

السلام عليكم
بِسْمِ اللهِ الرَّحْمنِ الرَّحِيمِ
If you reach the evening, do not await (to be alive) by dawn,
And if you reach dawn, do not await (to be alive) by evening.
Take advantage of your Health before you fall sick.
And take advantage of your life, before you die.(Bukhari)

Anger Management

السلام عليكم
بِسْمِ اللهِ الرَّحْمنِ الرَّحِيمِ
The powerful is not he who knocks down others; undoubtedly, the powerful is the one who controls himself in a fit of anger. (Bukhari)

Why this blog?

السلام عليكم
بِسْمِ اللهِ الرَّحْمنِ الرَّحِيمِ

I got the idea for this blog while just thinking one night

Wouldn’t our lives be so much easier if we all followed the sunnah of the prophet (صلى الله عليه و سلم )?

The prophet Muhammed (صلى الله عليه و سلم ) taught us so much and this blog is an effort to revive his sunnah and bring his practices into our everyday lives so that our lives can become enriched Inshallah. Inshallah I will try to read at least one hadith a day and post it on the blog. I don't want to be held accountable for misleading people on the day of judgment and I know that when you read something on the internet there is a big chance its probably fabricated so NONE of my hadiths will be from internet sources. I will inshallah get them from my own collection of kitabs like Riyad-Us-Saliheen and Muntakab Ahadith. If you want a specific page/hadith number leave a comment and Inshallah I will provide it. I plan to post various hadiths, duas, and inshallah other beneficial things to our deen on this blog. My hope is that I will learn more while at the same time help bring the sunnah of the prophet in my everyday life and inshallah be able to help you do the same as well. If you see an errors on this blog please let me know.

Jazakallah for reading.
