#that is to say that the Prophet and the Imam are the Noor of Allah and are on a different level than the first three caliphs

[tamamita]

So, based on your posts about Islam I've gathered that Muhammad=Lenin and Ali=Stalin, who's Trotsky?

Umar ibn al-Khattab

[raquellbezz]

Dear sister, can we talk?

Not about trends. Not about marriage plans or what's going viral.

But about something deeper. Something real.

The return of Imam al-Mahdi (ajf) and Prophet Isa (as) isn’t just a beautiful story we hold on to when life feels hard. It’s something we need to prepare for. Truly. Not just in theory, but in our hearts, our homes, and our choices.

And sis, that preparation isn’t just for the brothers.

We, as women, carry a role that’s powerful, even if it’s quiet.

We shape the next generation. Not only that, but we keep the flame of faith burning in a world that keeps trying to blow it out. We protect the values of Islam even when everything around us pulls in the opposite direction.

And I know—it’s not easy.

Especially when our men are struggling, lost, tired, or just trying to survive. But that’s exactly why we need women like Lady Zainab (as):

Strong. Steady. Brave.

Even when everything hurts. Even when we feel alone.

Being ready for the Imam (ajf) doesn’t mean just reading more books (though that helps). It means working on our character.

Building patience, emotional strength, faith that holds on even when things fall apart. It means raising kids who, when the Imam (ajf) comes, recognize him—and don’t say, “If we had known, we would’ve followed…”

We lose ourselves sometimes, don’t we?

Trying to figure out “what it means to be a woman” in this noisy world. But we forget: Islam already told us.

Our womb is sacred. Shaping a soul is greater than ruling any kingdom, and the women who raise the soldiers of the Imam (ajf) have to be women of noor, courage, and deep taqwa.

This isn’t about shrinking.

It’s about stepping into the massive trust Allah gave us. Because not everyone is asked to shape the future.

But we are.

And I get it—marriage is beautiful, it is natural and half of faith.

But some of us are starting to believe that we’re only valuable after marriage.

That our lives only begin once there’s a husband beside us.

Sis… that’s not true. It cannot be the centre of our life, the reason for our sadness, or the measure of our worth.

What if Allah is using this time to shape you into a woman who lays the foundation before marriage?

What if He’s building your soul so you can love someone who’s still learning to love himself?

Or what if you’re meant to mother hearts even before you mother children?

We don’t have to wait to become spiritual mothers—of friends, of little sisters, of those who feel lost.

Marriage is a gift, yes.

But being a woman of Allah… That’s something no timeline or title can define, and you don't have to wait until you're married to get closer to Him.

You, walking with Allah, are never behind.

You’re not “less” because you’re not married.

Likewise, you’re not forgotten.

When you know your worth to Allah, you stop chasing what was never meant to define you.

The neediness? It becomes peace.

The waiting? It becomes preparation.

Even the pain? It becomes a ladder pulling you closer to Him.

Sometimes Allah delays to give you better.

Sometimes He says “no” to lift you higher.

And sometimes He places you in silence, in loneliness, in hard moments because when the call of the Imam (ajf) finally echoes through this world, He wants your heart to be ready.

Ready to say, “Here I am.”

Ready to stand firm.

To be light.

So let’s keep going. With taqwa. With intention. Plus hope.

Because we are part of something way, way bigger than us.

And He sees everything. Every tear. Every whispered du'a. Every hard choice.

And He never disappoints those who trust Him.

You’re not alone, sis.

We’re walking this path together.

And every step… takes us closer to Him.

From the bottom of my heart,

Raquel

The demise of the Queen of Paradise, Umm al-Momineen Fatima az-Zahra RadiAllahu Anha

Blessed be that symbol of honor; Pious Batool, our Prophetﷺ’s daughter,

Blessed be the veils of graces; Which from sun and moon hid their faces,

Blessed be our Prophet’s beloved daughter; Pious, pure and women’s leader.

Sayyidah Fatimah az-Zahra Radi Allahu Ta’ala Anha was the fourth daughter of the Holy Prophet ﷺ and Sayyidah Khadija Radi Allahu Ta’ala Anha. “Zahra” (having gleaming and luminous face), “Batool” (aloof from the worldly pleasures) are “Tahira” (chaste and modest) are among her exalted titles.

Umar bin Khattab (RadiAllahu Anhu) says that he went to the house of Fatimah (RadiAllahu Anha) the daughter of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and said, “Oh Fatimah! I swear by Allah that I have not seen anyone who is dearer to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ than you. I swear by Allah that nobody is dearer to me than you after

your father ﷺ.”

(Hakim, al-Mustadrak (3:168#4736), Ahmad bin Hambal, Fadai l-us-sahabah (1:364#532))

On the day of Judgement in the Court of Allah when the whole of humanity will be gathered. The Anbiya, Sahaba, Awliya & All the believers. Amongst them will be the greatest of all men, Women and the most modest of people. The pure Angels & Jinnaat will also be present. And in this situation what will happen when the Queen of Paradise will enter the Court?

The Messenger of Allahﷺ said, “On the Day of Judgment (when creation will be gathered), a Voice will call out, ‘All, lower your gaze, Fatima the daughter of Muhammed (SalamUllah Ala Abiha wa Alaiyha) is passing by.”

(Musnad Imam Ahmed)

Subhan Allah. What greatness. Only Allah and his Rasool ﷺ know the actual modesty & Purity of the Queen of Paradise, that even on the Day of Reckoning in the court of Allah no eye will be allowed to look at the purest of women.

Sayyidi Alahazrat عليه الرحمة says about the elevated status of Sayyida Fatima tuz Zahra RadiAllahuanha;

‘Noor bint e noor zawj e noor umm e noor o noor’ ‘Light is She, the daughter of light, the wife of light, the mother of light and light’

She herself is Noor, her blessed father the Noble Messenger of Allah ﷺ is Noor, her husband Sayyiduna Ali Radi Allahuan is Noor, and her two sons Sayyiduna Imam Hasan and Sayyiduna Imam Hussain RadiAllahuanhuma are both Noor!

Subhan Allah!!!

FROM A HADITH:

Sayyiduna Miswar bin Makhramah Radi Allahu Ta’ala Anha reported that the Holy Prophet ﷺ said:

فاطمةبضعةمنى،فمنأغضبهاأغضبنى

“My daughter is part of me. He who disturbs her in fact disturbs me and he who offends her offends me.” [Sahih al-Bukhari, Hadith 3767]

The Holy Prophet ﷺ also said:

حسبكمننساءالعالمينأربعمريمبنتعمرانوآسيةامرأةفرعونوخديجةبنتخويلدوفاطمةبنتمحمد

“The best women in the entire world are four: The Virgin Mariyam Radi Allahu Ta’ala Anha daughter of Imran and Aasiya Radi Allahu Ta’ala Anha the wife of Pharaoh and Khadija Radi Allahu Ta’ala Anha Mother of the Believers and Fatimah Radi Allahu Ta’ala Anha, daughter of Muhammad SallAllahu Alaihi wa Sallam.” [Mustadrak al-Hakim, Vol. 4, Page 262, Hadith 4745, Musnad of Imaam Ahmad 2663]

Sayyidah Fatimah Radi Allahu Ta’ala Anha thus acquired a place of love and esteem in the Beloved Nabi’s ﷺ heart that was only occupied by his wife Sayyidah Khadija Radi Allahu Ta’ala Anha. She was given the title of “Zahra” which means “The Resplendent One”. That was because of her beaming face, which seemed to radiate light. She was also called “Batool” because of her purity and asceticism. She spent most of her time in the recitation of the Holy Quraan, performing Salaah and doing other acts of Ibadah.

Fatima AS, Sayyidah Ayesha Radi Allahu Ta’ala Anha said:

أقبلتفاطمةتمشيكأنمشيتهامشيالنبيصلىاللهعليهوسلم،فقال: “مرحباًبابنتي“. ثمأجلسهاعنيمينه،أوعنشماله

“I have not seen any one of Allah’s SubHanuhu wa Ta’ala creation resemble the Messenger of Allah ﷺ more in speech, conversation and manner of sitting than Fatimah Radi Allahu Ta’ala Anha. When the Holy Prophet ﷺ saw her approaching, he would welcome her, stand up and kiss her, take her by the hand and sit her down in the place where he was sitting.” [Imam Bukhari in al-Adab al-Mufrad, Page 406, Hadith 421]

No One

No One From The Sahaba Resembled Rasool’Allah ﷺ More Than Sayyida Fatimah رضي الله عنها

In Her Character She Was Like Rasool’Allah ﷺ

In Her Mannerism,

In Her Disposition,

Even The Way She رضي الله عنها Walked Was Like Rasool’Allah ﷺ

She Even Looked Like Rasool’Allah ﷺ.

Subhan Allah!

Fatima-AS

One day Sayyiduna Ali Radi Allahu Ta’ala Anha asked her to go to her father and ask for a servant. Sayyidah Fatimah Radi Allahu Ta’ala Anha came to the Holy Prophet ﷺ. The Holy Prophet ﷺ said:

ألاأخبركماهوخيرلكمنه،تسبحيناللهعندمنامكثلاثاوثلاثين،وتحمديناللهثلاثاوثلاثين،وتكبريناللهأربعاوثلاثين

“Shall I not tell you of something better than that which you asked of me? I am telling you the words, which Jibra’eel Alaihis Salam has told me. You should say Subhan-Allah (Glory be to Allah SubHanuhu wa Ta’ala) 33 times, Al-HamduLillah (Praise be to Allah SubHanuhu wa Ta’ala) 33 times and Allahu Akbar (Allah SubHanuhu wa Ta’ala is Great) 34 times.” [Sahih al-Bukhari, Hadith 5362]

This is called “Tasbeeh-e-Fatimah” and brings blessings upon the person who regularly recites it.

Sayyidah Ayesha Radi Allahu Ta’ala Anha reported:

كنأزواجالنبى –صلىاللهعليهوسلم– عندهلميغادرمنهنواحدةفأقبلتفاطمةتمشىماتخطئمشيتهامنمشيةرسولالله –صلىاللهعليهوسلم– شيئافلمارآهارحببهافقال«مرحبابابنتى». ثمأجلسهاعنيمينهأوعنشمالهثمسارهافبكتبكاءشديدافلمارأىجزعهاسارهاالثانيةفضحكت. فقلتلهاخصكرسولالله –صلىاللهعليهوسلم– منبيننسائهبالسرارثمأنتتبكينفلماقامرسولالله –صلىاللهعليهوسلم– سألتهاماقاللكرسولالله –صلىاللهعليهوسلم– قالتماكنتأفشىعلىرسولالله –صلىاللهعليهوسلم– سره. قالتفلماتوفىرسولالله –صلىاللهعليهوسلم– قلتعزمتعليكبمالىعليكمنالحقلماحدثتنىماقاللكرسولالله –صلىاللهعليهوسلم– فقالتأماالآنفنعمأماحينسارنىفىالمرةالأولىفأخبرنى«أنجبريلكانيعارضهالقرآنفىكلسنةمرةأومرتينوإنهعارضهالآنمرتينوإنىلاأرىالأجلإلاقداقتربفاتقىاللهواصبرىفإنهنعمالسلفأنالك». قالتفبكيتبكائىالذىرأيتفلمارأىجزعىسارنىالثانيةفقال«يافاطمةأماترضىأنتكونىسيدةنساءالمؤمنينأوسيدةنساءهذهالأمة». قالتفضحكتضحكىالذىرأيت.

“We, the wives of Allah’s Apostle were with him (during his last illness) and none was absent therefrom that Fatimah Radi Allahu Ta’ala Anha, who walked after the style of Allah’s Messenger ﷺ, came there, and when he saw her he welcomed her saying: ‘You are welcome, my daughter’. He then made her sit on his right side or on his left side. Then he said something secretly to her and she swept bitterly and when he found her (plunged) in grief, he said to her something secretly for the second time and she laughed. I (Ayesha Radi Allahu Ta’ala Anha) said to her: ‘Allah’s Messenger ﷺ has singled you amongst the women of the family for talking to you something secretly and you wept’. When Allah’s Messenger ﷺ recovered from illness, I said to her: ‘What did he say to you?’ Thereupon, she said: ‘I am not going to disclose the secret of Allah’s Messenger ﷺ. When the Holy Prophet ﷺ passed away, I said to her: ‘I adjure you by the right that I have upon you that you should narrate to me what Allah’s Messenger ﷺ said to you.’ She said: ‘Yes, now I can do that. When he (Prophet ﷺ) talked to me secretly for the first time he informed me that Jibra’il Alaihis Salam was in the habit of reciting the Qur’an along with him once every year, but this year it had been twice and so he perceived his death quite near, so fear Allah SubHanuhu wa Ta’ala and be patient (and he told me) that he would be a befitting forerunner for me and so I wept as you saw me. And when he saw me in grief he talked to me secretly for the second time and said: ‘Fatimah Radi Allahu Ta’ala Anha, are you not pleased that you should be at the head of the believing women or the head of this Ummah?’ I laughed and it was that laughter which you saw.” [Sahih Muslim, Hadith 6467]

Sayyidah Ayesha Radi Allahu Ta’ala Anha reported that when she asked Sayyidah Fatimah Radi Allahu Ta’ala Anha the reasons of her crying and laughing when her father talked to her secretly, she said:

سارنيالنبيصلىاللهعليهوسلمفأخبرنيأنهيقبضفيوجعهالتيتوفيفيهفبكيتثمسارنيفأخبرنيأنيأولأهلبيتهأتبعهفضحكت

“Heﷺ informed me secretly of his death and so I cried. Heﷺ then informed me secretly that I would be the first amongst the members of his family to follow him, so I laughed.” [Sahih al-Bukhari, Hadith 3427 ; Sahih Muslim, Hadith 2450]

This Hadith shows the implicit faith that Sayyidah Fatimah Radi Allahu Ta’ala Anha had in the words of her father. She believed that her father was given the Knowledge of Unseen. She was quite sure that the events would take the same turn as her father had informed her. This Hadith also shows that Sayyidah Fatimah Radi Allahu Ta’ala Anha loved her father more dearly than her husband and children, and her meeting with him in the Hereafter was a source of great comfort and consolation for her.

Imam Hussain’s (as) last sermon to the Umayyad army in Karbala

On the 10th of Moharram in 61 A.H., Imam Hussains admonished the army of Banu Umayyad in Karabala by giving an eloquent Sermon.

Holy Prophet (saw) raised me up by feeding the Divine Prophecies.

I am the son of Prophet (saw) w and my mother is ‘Batool’sws (3).

I have been created as infallible Imam.

I have the privilege of being the son of Amir-ul-Momaneen (as) .

I am the son of that who holds the key to the future events and sustenance of the whole universe.

Hassan (Imam) has brought me up to his customs.

I am the Divine authority, recognise me prior to declaring war against me.

Be aware! You will close all the doors of forgiveness by killing me.

You are doing this for the attraction of your leader’s promised rewards, but if you ask me, I can bless you thousands’ time more than that.

(I know) collecting filth is in your genes.

You are unable to comprehend and (debate with doubts) that we regularly travel through the milky ways. (Be aware) Stars are nothing else but aftermath of footprints. North pole finds its direction from us.

Our destination is in ‘Qabah Quosaan(4); and ‘Bait-ul-Mamoor(5) is our residence.

‘Bismillah (6) refers to our beginning and ‘Yakhamah (7) concludes with our (attributes).

‘Innamah (8) describes our Divinity and Purity, ‘Allif-lam (9) is on our introduction,

‘WalAsr (10) is about our glandular status,

The Verse of ‘Feel (11) is the narration of our past,

‘Walfaj (12) has borrowed colours from us, ‘Filqurbah (13) is the means to seek nearness to us, the verse of ‘Dahr (14) is on our generosity, ‘MinYashra’ defines our rights,

‘Al-Taha’ is about our way of life, the Verse of ‘Muzimmil (15) is our outfit,

the verse of ‘AlQadr1 (16) authenticate our (Divine) rights, it is in our jurisdiction to change the direction of ‘Qabateen’ (17)

We attend to the needs of others in ‘Rukku (18) of prayers.

Our traditions became the principles of religion; we are the ‘Ibrahimy (19).

However, those who could not gain guidance from 63 years of preaching will not be influenced by my words. You are blinded by the ‘worthless’ rewards and are inclined to disgrace Holy Prophet’s family (as) -which would result in your eternal punishment.

The Creation of Adam (AS): A Being of Free Will and Divine Knowledge

In the celestial realm, Allah (SWT) created Adam (AS) from clay, a being distinct from the angels and the jinn. Unlike the angels, Adam (AS) was endowed with free will, the ability to learn, and the capacity to understand the Ayaat of Allah. While angels were created from light and remained in absolute obedience, Adam (AS) had the ability to choose. The jinn, on the other hand, were created from fire and also possessed free will, but unlike humans, they were not given a portion from Allah’s Amr (Divine Command). This Divine Soul (Ruh) that was blown into Adam (AS) made him distinct, elevating him above the jinn despite their longer existence.

The Teaching of Divine Names

Allah (SWT) tested Adam (AS) by teaching him the names of all things, a knowledge beyond the grasp of the angels (Quran 2:31-33). However, according to the Shia traditions, this knowledge was not limited to worldly concepts; Adam (AS) was taught the names of the 14 Infallibles (AS)—Prophet Muhammad (PBUH), Lady Fatimah (AS), and the 12 Imams (AS). Their divine light (noor) was created before all existence, and they were the true bearers of divine wisdom.

Imam Ja’far al-Sadiq (AS) explains: "Allah taught Adam the names of Muhammad, Ali, Fatimah, Hasan, Husayn, and the Imams from their progeny. When Adam sought forgiveness, he called upon these names, and Allah accepted his repentance."

Adam (AS) was given a portion from Allah’s Amr, which made him distinct from the jinn. However, above all creations were the Uli’l Amr (those who possess complete Amr of Allah), the exalted ones whom all of creation was commanded to obey.

Iblees: The Arrogance that Led to Rejection

Iblees, a jinn who had ascended among the ranks of angels due to his worship and knowledge, was commanded to prostrate before Adam (AS). Yet, arrogance blinded him. He refused, arguing: "I am better than him; You created me from fire, and him from clay." (Quran 7:12)

The True Measure of Worth

Allah (SWT) responded to Iblees' arrogance, saying: "What prevented you from prostrating when I commanded you? Are you arrogant, or do you consider yourself among the Aliyeen (the exalted ones)?" (Quran 38:75)

The term Aliyeen refers to those exalted in rank—the 14 Infallibles (AS). Iblees, in his ignorance, failed to recognize that true superiority lay not in material composition but in submission to divine wisdom.

Adam (AS) Descends: A Mission for Humanity Begins

After being deceived by Iblees, Adam (AS) and Hawwa (Eve) ate from the forbidden tree. Realizing their error, they turned to Allah (SWT) in repentance: "Our Lord, we have wronged ourselves. If You do not forgive us and have mercy on us, we will surely be among the losers." (Quran 7:23)

Allah accepted their repentance and sent them to Earth with a divine mission—to establish guidance for future generations. Adam (AS) was made Allah’s khalifa (vicegerent) on Earth, a position that foreshadowed the coming of Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) and his Ahl al-Bayt (AS).

The Light of Muhammad (PBUH) in Adam’s Lineage

According to Imam Ali (AS): "From Adam to Nuh, from Nuh to Ibrahim, and from Ibrahim to Ismail, Allah carried the Noor of Muhammad (PBUH) through the most purified lineages, safeguarding it until it was perfected in Abdul Muttalib and Abdullah."

Adam (AS) was given this Noor and carried it in his back, out of respect never sleeping so as not to turn his back to it. He expressed this to Allah, and so Allah placed the Noor in his forehead. This Noor traveled through righteous lineages until it was finally revealed in Prophet Muhammad (PBUH), along with Imam Ali (AS), Lady Fatimah (AS), Imam Hasan (AS), Imam Husayn (AS), and the nine Imams from his lineage, culminating in Imam al-Mahdi (AS).

The Eternal Struggle: Iblees' Vow and Allah's Promise

Iblees, humiliated and enraged, negotiated with Allah (SWT), requesting time until the Day of Judgment. Allah granted him reprieve but only until a waqt-e-muayyan (appointed time) (Quran 15:38). Once his terms were fulfilled, Iblees revealed his true intention, vowing: "I will surely sit on Your straight path. Then I will come at them from their front, from their back, from their right, and from their left, and You will find most of them ungrateful." (Quran 7:16-17)

He swore to attack humanity from all directions, sitting on the Sirat al-Mustaqeem (Straight Path) itself to force them astray. He claimed he would mislead all children of Adam, but Allah (SWT) responded: "You will have no authority over My sincere servants (the Saliheen)." (Quran 15:39-42)

The Saliheen are the Infallibles (AS) and those who follow in their footsteps—prophets and the true believers of Ahlul Bayt (AS).

The Arrival of the Final Guide: A Call to Obedience

As history unfolded, the prophecies of Adam (AS) materialized. The Noor that had been safeguarded across generations was finally manifested in Prophet Muhammad (PBUH). His mission was clear: to guide all nations and remind them of the covenant made with Adam (AS).

The Quran confirms this divine expectation: "When a Messenger comes to them from Allah confirming what is with them, a party of those who were given the Scripture throw away the Book of Allah behind their backs as if they did not know." (Quran 2:101)

But true believers, those who understood their history, recognized that salvation lay in following the Final Prophet (PBUH) and his Ahl al-Bayt (AS).

Imam Ali (AS) declared: "We are the rope of Allah. Whoever holds fast to us will never be lost."

Lessons for Humanity

Free Will is a Trust: Adam (AS) was given knowledge and choice. His story teaches us to use free will for divine obedience.

Obedience Determines Superiority: Iblees thought fire was superior to clay, but Allah honors submission, not material form.

Guidance is Predestined: The arrival of Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) and his family (AS) was planned from the beginning. True salvation lies in their obedience.

Conclusion

The story of Adam (AS) is not just a tale of creation but a blueprint of divine guidance. From the very beginning, Allah (SWT) ordained the lineage of the Final Prophet (PBUH), ensuring that humanity always had access to the path of righteousness. Those who seek salvation must recognize that the legacy of Adam (AS) is completed in Muhammad (PBUH) and his Ahl al-Bayt (AS).

"And hold firmly to the rope of Allah, all together, and do not become divided." (Quran 3:103)

THE RULING ON A WOMAN REMAINING WITH A HUSBAND THAT DOESN'T PRAY

Fataawa from Light Upon The Path

(Noor Al al-Darb), vol. 20, pp. 401 - 402.

Question:

My husband does not pray; so is it upon the Muslim woman to separate from the man that doesn't pray?

Answer:

Yes, it is upon her to separate from him, because leaving the prayer is apostasy, and major disbelief in the most correct of the speech of the scholars.

And his statement ﷺ has preceded,

“That which is between a man and between polytheism and disbelief is leaving the prayer”, (1) and his statement ﷺ, “The covenant that is between us and them is the prayer, so whoever leaves it has disbelieved”, (2)

And his statement ﷺ, “The head of the matter is Islam, and its pillar is the prayer.” WHEN THE PRAYER IS LOST, WHAT REMAINS WITH HIM? We ask Allah for safety. Whoever loses it is lost, and Umar (radiallahu anhu) used to write to his workers and say, “Verily, the most important matter of yours with me is the prayer, so whoever preserves it, has preserved his religion, and whoever loses it is lost to other than it.” (3) and he said ﷺ, “There is no share in Islam for whoever leaves the prayer," (4) meaning of this statement has come from one that is attributed to the Prophet, which is, “There is no share in Islam for whoever leaves the prayer.” (5) Therefore, the point is that whoever loses the prayer, then he has no religion.

HOW TO PERFORM SALATAL TAWBAH (REPENTANCE)

Salat al-Tawbah, also known as Namaz-e-Tawbah, is a Muslim prayer consisting of two Rak'ats, according to Sunni tradition, or four Rak'ats,, according to Shi'a tradition1. The prayer is performed when a Muslim falls into sin, whether the sin is major or minor. 

It is an obligatory prayer performed when a person commits a sin or feels that he has sinned and wants to repent to Allah (Subhanahu wa Ta’ala). There is a special Salatal Tawbah during the month of Dhul Qa'dah which contains two then another two Rak’ats,

How To Repent In Islam: 

Importance And Salaat Al-Tawbah Method

A person repents for his misdeeds when he wants to ameliorate his wrongdoings with strong determination. Tawbah is an Islamic concept of repentance to Allah (Subhanahu wa Ta’ala) for performing any kind of sins or wrongdoings. 

A Muslim has to repent when he/she performs or does anything that is forbidden in Islam, for example catastrophic sins like adultery, consuming Riba’/interest or murder. One can speak to Imams to find out��how to repent in Islam and then return to what is instructed by Allah (Subhanahu wa Ta’ala).

In the Holy Quran and Hadiths, the word tawbah (to return) is focused and it means to turn from evil and unholy activities and firmly avoid them in the future. It plays a main role in the flourishing of a human soul and its journey towards Allah (Subhanahu wa Ta’ala). 

Prophet Muhammad (SallAllahu ‘alaihi wa Sallam) narrated that God says “As soon as My servant makes a step toward Me, I make two steps toward him; as soon as he comes to Me walking, I come to him running”. It is believed that a believer can make Tawbah not only when he/she commits a sin but also while executing a good deed. The Tawbah signifies true-hearted and devoted repentance that is free from sanctimony and insincerity.

Tawbah Meaning

The literal meaning of Tawbah is ‘to return’. The word is mentioned many times in the Holy Quran and several hadiths. In the Holy Quran, Tawbah is related to the word ‘Nasuh’, which means to ‘make pure’ or ‘sincere’. 

It can be understood that Tawbah helps in returning from sinful and wrong deeds. The person performing Tawbah surrenders in front of the Almighty Allah and asks forgiveness from Him for their act of swaying away from the path of righteousness.

Importance Of Repentance In Islam: 

Holy Quran Verses

According to the Islamic scripture Holy Quran, those who believe that they have conducted any wrongdoing or misdeed that is against the commandments of Allah (Subhanahu wa Ta’ala), can sincerely repent for their mistake and seek Allah’s forgiveness. The Quranic verses say,

“And O ye Believers! turn ye all together towards God, that ye may attain Bliss.” — Holy Qur’an, Surah 24 (Al-Noor), Ayah 31

“O ye who believe! Turn to God with sincere repentance, in the hope that your Lord will remove from you your ills and admit you to Gardens beneath which Rivers flow.” — Holy Quran, Surah 66 (Al-Tahrim), Ayah 08

\

“Surely God loves those who turn much (to Him), and He loves those who purify themselves.” — Holy Quran, Surah 02 (Al-Baqarah), Ayah 222

“God accepts the repentance of those who do evil in ignorance and repent soon afterwards; to them will God turn in mercy: For God is full of knowledge and wisdom. Of no effect is the repentance of those who continue to do evil, until death faces one of them, and he says, “Now have I repented indeed;” nor of those who die rejecting Faith: for them have We prepared a punishment most grievous.” — Holy Quran, Surah 04 (An-Nisa), Ayaat 17–18

The Holy Quran verses also address the doubter and request them to turn towards Allah (Subhanahu wa Ta’ala) and seek His Mercy and Forgiveness.

“The Penalty on the Day of Judgment will be doubled to him (disbeliever), and he will dwell therein in ignominy,- unless he repents, believes, and works righteous deeds, for God will change the evil of such persons into good, and God is Oft-Forgiving, Most Merciful. And whoever repents and does good has truly turned to God with an (acceptable) conversion.” —Holy  Quran, Surah 25 (Al-Furqan), Ayaat 69–71

How To Repent In Islam: 

Conditions

To retain himself/herself in Allah’s acquiescence.

“A believer sees his sins as if he were sitting under a mountain which, he is afraid, may fall on him; whereas the wicked person considers his sins as flies passing over his nose and he just drives them away like this (and he moved his hand over his nose).” — Sahih al-Bukhari, 8:75:320

How To Perform Salaat Al-Tawbah

Salaat al-Tawbah is the special Tawbah prayer for those who want to repent. It consists of four Raka’ts (according to Shi’a tradition) and must be performed in a prescribed method. Irrespective of the gravity of the sin committed, the repentance prayer remains the same. The prescribed way of offering Namaz-e-Tawbah is as follows:

Niyyat For Salatal Tawbah

Before offering Salatal Tawbah, one must make Niyyah. Niyyat or Niyyah is the intention to declare that one is aware of their sins and sincerely wants to amend their wrongs by asking forgiveness from the Almighty Allah.

Niyyah for Tawbah Dua: Usolli Sunnata Taubati Rak’ataini Lillahi Ta’ala.

Meaning: I pray the Sunnah of Tawbah for two Rak’ats because of Allah Subhanahu wa Ta’ala.

Salat al Tawbah Steps

Perform Ghusl, here it is important to submerge the whole body in water (called Irtimasi). If you are not in a place where you can get into the water completely, you may do it in parts.

Alternatively, you can also perform Tartibi, which is wiping the body with water. This is suggested in place water available for the ritual is scarce.

The next step is to perform Wudu’, an Islamic cleansing ritual

Then perform a four Rak’at prayer and in every Rak’ah, one must recite the Surah al-Fatihah once, Surah al-Ikhlas thrice, Surah al-Falaq once, and Surah an-Naas once.

Next, one must recite Astaghfirullah (Rabbi wa atubu ‘ilaih)

After the prayer, say Astaghfirullah rabbi wa atubu ‘ilaih

Follow it up with the following prayers:

i) Laa hawla wa laa quwwata illaa billaahil ‘Aliyyil ‘Azeem; and then

ii) Yaa A’zeezo yaa ghaffooro ighfirli zunoobi wa zunooba jamee’il mo-mineena wal mo-minaate. Fa innahu laa yaghfiro illa ant.

Salat Al Tawbah Du’a

While offering the Tawbah prayer for repentance, the only condition is one has to pray from their heart; understanding the severity of their sin. However, if one is stuck on the supplication to recite, here is a special Tawbah Du’a for seeking forgiveness from the all-merciful Allah.

Dua: Allahumma inni Zalamtu Nafsi Zul-man Kasiran Walaa Yagh-firu Zunooba illaa Anta, Fagh-firli Min ‘indika Maghfirotan innaka Antal Raoo-fur Rahim.

Meaning: O Allah, indeed, I have wronged myself with great injustice. And no one can forgive my sins except You. So forgive me with great forgiveness from Your side. You are indeed Oft-Forgiving, Most Merciful.

Mentioned in Hadith Bukhari, Prophet Muhammad (SallAllahu ‘alaihi wa Sallam) acknowledged Sayyidul Istighfar as the most superior supplications for repentance.

Dua: Allaahumma Anta Rabbii Laa ilaaha illaa Annta Kholaq-tanii Wa Anaa ‘Abduka Wa Anaa ‘Ala ‘Ahdika Wawa’ dika Maas-tatha-tu A’oodhu-bika Min Syarrimaa Shana-tu AbuuU-laka Bini’matika ‘Alayya Wa Abuu Bidhanmbi Fagh-fir-lii Fa-innahu Laa Yagh-firudh-dhunooba Illaa Annta.

Meaning: O Allah, You are my Lord, there is no God but You, You have created me, and I am Your servant. I will indeed obey Your provisions, Your promises according to my ability. I ask for Your protection from the evils of all my deeds, and I acknowledge all the favors You have given and acknowledge the existence of the sins I have committed. No one forgives sins except you.

Benefits of performing Tawbah

As performing Tawbah is a sign of immense trust and faith in Allah (Subhanahu wa Ta’ala) and His mercy, Allah (Subhanahu wa Ta’ala) blesses the people who seek forgiveness with pure intent. The whole act of Tawbah makes one humble and helps remove anxiety, worries and distress. Tawbah imparts peace as sinners accept their sins with pure objective and promise to never commit the same mistakes again. 

The faith further guides the person on the path shown by Allah (Subhanahu wa Ta’ala) that is of righteousness. Tawbah also generates a sense of kindness and humility when others sins against an individual or a community.

Repentance is the way to seek forgiveness for your sins from Allah (Subhanahu wa Ta’ala). Turning off or delaying Tawbah is absolutely unjustifiable in Islam. If a person delays or reschedules repentance till the last breath, repentance will not be welcomed by Allah (Subhanahu wa Ta’ala) and will be considered as a great misdeed. 

It is therefore recommended that whenever a person realizes his folly, they must repent and seek forgiveness from the all merciful Allah (Subhanahu wa Ta’ala). To get the sins forgiven, one must follow accurate steps on how to repent in Islam but what matters the most is intent.

Martyrdom of Imam Muhammad al-Baqir [a.s]

Imam Al-Baqir [a.s], did not die a natural death

Some sinful persons, who did not believe in Allah and the hereafter, gave him poison to drink. The historians differed over which sinful person who committed such a crime. The following are some of the views:

Hisham b. al-Hakam gave the Imam poisons to drink.

This is the most acceptable view. For Hisham was the most spiteful person towards the family of the Prophet [s.a.w.w]. His soul was full of malice and hatred towards them. Surely, the great Imam Al-Baqir {a.s], shook the position of this tyrannical person (Hisham). That because the Imam's [a.s] knowledge and outstanding merits were famous. So, the Muslims talked about his talents and abilities. Hence, Hisham killed the Imam [a.s] to get rid of him.

Ibrahim b. al-Walid gave the Imam [a.s] poison to drink. Sayyid b. Tawu`s thought that Ibrahim b. al-Walid took part in murdering the Imam [a.s].

This means that Ibrahim helped other persons to murder the Imam [a.s].

Some references have ignored the name of the person who assassinated the Imam [a.s]. They have only mentioned that the Imam [a.s] died of poisoning.

The poison acted quickly on the body of Imam al-Baqir [a.s]. So, death approached fast. During his last hours, he gathered all his feelings and sentiments, and cleaved to Allah, the Most High. He [a.s] began reciting the Holy Quran. He [a.s] asked Allah's forgiveness. While his tongue busy praising Allah, death came to him. So, his great matchless soul ascended to its Creator after it had enlightened the cultural scientific life in Islam. When the Imam [a.s] died, the most wonderful stage of the Islamic message, which provided the Islamic community with the Elements of Awareness, Development, and Prosper, ended.

Imam Mohammed al-Baqir's [a.s] Testamentary Enjoinments

Imam al-Baqir [a.s], gave several enjoinments to his son, Imam al-Sadiq [a.s]. Among them are the following:

1. Imam al-Baqir [a.s] said: "Jafar, I give testamentary enjoinments to you (to treat) my followers well." So, Imam al-Sadiq [a.s], replied: "May I be your ransom, I will make them (know their religion so well) that any man among them in the country will not (have to) ask any one (for advice).

Imam [a.s], enjoined his son to spend (money) on them and to take care of their affairs to make them devote themselves to seek knowledge, to record his traditions, and to spread his sciences and morals among the people.

2. Imam [a.s], enjoined his son al-Sadiq [a.s], to shroud him in the cloak in which he used to perform the prayer.

He [a.s] wanted that to be a truthful witness with Allah for his great worship and his obedience to Him.

3. Imam [a.s] endowed some of his money to some female weepers to weep for him for ten years at Madina.

The reason for that is that Madina was the greatest center where Muslims gathered, and that there were many female weepers at it. This would make the Muslims ask about the reason for weeping. They would be told that the Umayyads persecuted and killed Imam al-Baqir [a.s]. So, the Umayyad would be unable to hide the murder of the Imam [a.s].

It was reported by Imam al-Sadiq [a.s], who said: When my father was near to death, he [a.s] said (to me): "Call witnesses for me." I summoned four men from Quraysh, among them Na`fi', retainer of 'Abd Allah b. 'Umar. (My father said:) "Write this testimony which I bequeath (like) Jacob did to his sons: My sons, Allah has chosen the religion for you. So, do not die except as Muslims.

Mohammed b. 'Ali makes this last testimony to Jafar b. Mohammed. He orders him to shroud him in his cloak in which he used to perform the Friday prayer, to put his turban on him, to make his grave a square, to raise it the height of four fingers above the ground, and to take his shabby clothes away from him at his burial.

Then he said to the witnesses: "Depart, may Allah have mercy on you.

You"Father," I said to him (after they had gone), "what was in this that there had to be witnesses for it?"

"My son," he answered, "I was unwilling for you to be overcome and for it to be said that no testimony had been mad for him. I wanted you to have proof.

Before his martyrdom, Imam Muhammad al-Baqir [a.s] instructed his son Imam Jafar al-Sadiq [a.s] about several issues and said to him that he is hearing the voice of his father who is calling him. He gave special instructions for his kafan and burial since only an Imam can say the prayers of an Imam.

Allama Majlisi states that in his will, he also mentioned that 800 Dirhams should be spent on his mourning and arrangement should be made thatthe Hajj pilgrims would commemorate his martyrdom in Medina for the next 10 years. scholars also mention that in his will, the Imam [a.s] also mentioned that his kafan should be opened after his burial and his grave should not be higher that 4 fingers.

The Marriage of Imam Ali (AS) and Hadrat Fatimah Zahra (SA) ❤️❤️ congratulations to u

What happened full story part one

All proposals rejected ❤️

When Hazrat Fatima(s.a.) attained the age of maturity and was ready to get married, the Prophet Mohammad(P.B.U.H)started receiving proposals from various people for her daughter. Hazrat Salman Farsi (r.a.) and Hazrat Umm-e-Salma(r.a.) narrate that

"When Hazrat Fatima(s.a.) attained the marriageable age, the important people among the tribe of Quraish started sending proposals to the Prophet Mohammad(P.B.U.H)but the Prophet (P.B.U.H)did not accept any proposal saying that he was waiting for the order of Allah(swt) to decide this issue.

Imam Ali(AS) makes the proposal ❤️

Hazrat Umm-e-Salma narrates that : One day Imam Ali(AS) approached the Prophet Mohammad(P.B.U.H)at his house. Imam Ali(AS) entered and greeted the Prophet (P.B.U.H)and the Prophet (P.B.U.H) replied in the same kind manner. Imam Ali(AS) sat down and he was so much shy that he

continued staring at the ground and could not utter a word. The Prophet(P.B.U.H)smiled and mentioned to Imam Ali(AS) that he knew what Imam Ali(AS) had to say but he wanted to hear it from him. He told Imam Ali(AS) that he does not need to be shy and to say whatever he wanted to say.

With this encouragement and soft tone from the Prophet(pbuh&hf), Imam Ali(AS) said "My parents be ransom for you, you know that since my childhood, I have dedicated myself for your service. You have educated me from be beginning and brought me to this status.

It is because of your encouragement that I feel this courage in myself to express my heartfelt wish that you give me the honor of becoming your son-in-law. I have concealed his wish in my heart for a long time thinking that this might not be according to your wishes as well. Is there a possibility that this could happen?".

Proposal Accepted ❤️❤️

Hazrat Umm-e-Salma(r.a.) mentions that "I was watching this affair from a distance and I saw that as soon as Imam Ali(AS) completed his request, the face of Prophet Mohammad(P.B.U.H)lit up and he asked Imam Ali(AS) - what have you got to realize this act".

Imam Ali (AS) said "O Prophet of Allah(swt), you know my condition very well, I have only a sword, my war dress and one camel".

Prophet Muhammad(P.B.U.H)said: "Ali, you definitely need your sword for fighting Jihad and camel for traveling, however, you war dress could work. O Abul Hassan(AS), I want to give you the good news that Allah(swt) has made the decision and already recited your Nikah with my daughter Fatima(SA) in the Arsh.

Just before your arrival, Allah(swt) sent an angel to give me this good news."

This event has been narrated in "Maarij an-Nabuwwah" of Moeen Kashfi, "Sifwatul Safada" of ibn-e-Jozi, "Madarij an-Nabywwah" on 2:75 of Shah Abdul Haq Dehalvi.

Nikah recited on the Arsh ❤️❤️

"Maarij an-Nabuwwah" also states that Hazrat Jabreel(AS) narrated the story of the Nikah recited on the Arsh. He said "O Prophet of Allah(swt), Allah(swt) has chosen you and made you the most respected and high among his creatures and has selected Ali(AS) as your brother and has decided that the Nikah of your daughter and the servant of Allah(swt), Fatima(SA) would be with Ali (AS).

Allah(swt) arranged for their Nikah in such a manner that he addressed the dwellers of Jannah to dress themselves with ornaments of Jannah and then ordered all the angels to assemble together on the 4th Sky.

He then filled the 4th sky with Noor and then appointed Hazrat Adam(AS) to recite Khutba to begin the Nikah ceremony. After khutba of Hazrat Adam(AS), Allah(swt) ordered an angel named Raheel to recite Hamd. Raheel is the most beautiful of angels and possesses the most beautiful voice.

After recitation of Hamd, Allah(swt) informed me (Jabreel(AS)) the He has performed the Nikah of His servant Hazrat Fatima(SA) with His chosen person Imam Ali(AS) and that I should spread this news among the angels. I acted accordingly and made all the angels testify the event. Allah(swt) then ordered me to write all this event of this silk cloth of Jannah and present it to you."

After mentioning this event, Prophet Mohammad(P.B.U.H)said "O Abul Hasan(AS), the order of Allah(swt) has been served and I invite you to come to the mosque so that this Aqd should be formalized on the earth as well among witnesses."

Such was the importance of this marriage that Allah(swt) arranged the ceremony on Arsh and then Himself decided and recited the Nikah of Imam al-Muttaqeen, Amir-ul-momineen Ali ibn Abi Talib(AS) with the leader of the women of this world and in paradise Hazrat Fatima(SA).

The above event has been mentioned in various other books as follows:

- Muaraj an-Nabuwwah

- Al Asaba fee Tameez as-Sahaba

- Sawaeq-e-Muharriqa bu Ibn-e-Hajr Makki

- Al Bayan wal Bateen by Allam Jaahiz

- Nuzhat-ul-Majalis by Allama Abdur Rehman Safori

- Riyaz un-Nazrah fee Manaqib-ul-Ashra by Allama Muhib Tabri

Nikah recited on Earth ❤️❤️

Prophet Mohammad(P.B.U.H)led Imam Ali(AS) into the mosque and asked him to sell off his war dress and present that money to the Prophet(pbuh&hf).

The dress was sold in 400 dirhams, according to some traditions, and were presented to the Prophet Mohammmd(P.B.U.H)who gave them to Hazrat Salman Farsi(a.r.) and Hazrat Bilal(a.r.) and asked them to buy some articles of use from the market. They went to the market and bought the following items as jahez of Hazrat Fatima(SA)

- Two mattresses made of Egyptian canvas. (One stuffed with fiber and the other with sheep wool).

- A leather mat.

- A pillow made of skin, filled with palm tree fiber.

- A Khaibarion cloak.

- An animal skin for water.

- Some jugs and jars also for water.

- A pitcher painted with tar.

- A thin curtain made of wool.

- A shirt costing seven (7) dirhams.

- A veil costing four (4) dirhams.

- Black plush cloak.

- A bed embellished with ,ribbon.

- Four cushions made of skin imported from Ta'ef stuffed with a good smelling plant.

- A mat from Hajar.

- A hand-mill.

- A special copper container used for dyestuff

- A pestle for grinding coffee.

- A (water) skin.

When the items of Jahez were received, Prophet Mohammad went to Hazrat Fatima(SA) and said "Your Nikah has been recited on the Arsh by Allah(swt) with my cousing Ali(AS) and He has ordered me to recite your Nikah on the earth as well. I have gather my companions to do so and now seek your agreement and permission to recite this Nikah."

Hearing this, Hazrat Fatima Zahra(SA) bowed her head with shyness which indicated her agreement. The Prophet(P.B.U.H)came out of her hujra and orderd Hazrat Bilal(a.r.) to gather all Ansaar and Muhajireen.

One the companions were gathered, Prophet Mohammad(P.B.U.H)recited Hamd of Allah(swt) and narrated to his companions that Jibreel(AS) had informed him that Allah(swt) has performed the Nikah of Hazrat Ali(AS) with his daughter on the Arsh and has ordered him to recite the same on the earth as well.

He asked Imam Ali(AS) to formally request for the marriage in front of the witnesses and Imam Ali(AS), after reciting greatness of Allah(swt) and presenting his proof and gratitude to him and reciting darood for Prophet Muhammad(pbuh&hf), formally requested for the marriage. Prophet Muhammad(P.B.U.H)accepted the request and made all the companions witnesses.

Upon hearing this all the companions greeted Imam Ali(AS) and the Prophet(pbuh&hf).

Prophet Muhammad(P.B.U.H)recited the Nikah himself and asked Imam Ali(AS) if he accepted the Nikah for a Mehr of 400 Misqaal of Silver.

Imam Ali(AS) accepted and then the Nikah was formally concluded. Both offered Sajda-e-Shukr to Allah(swt) and all the companions present there congratulated and greeted both Imam Ali(AS) andthe Prophet Muhammad(pbuh&hf).

The Life of The Prophet Muhammad: The Miracles of The Prophet Muhammad

The Biggest and Eternal Miracle is the Qur'an (Part.2)

In another glorious hadith, the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) said:

The previous books were revealed on single section and dialect (ahruf). However, the Qur’an was revealed on: 1- Order 2- Prohibition 3- Halal 4- Haram 5- Muhkam 6- Mutashabih 7- Examples along with seven parts and seven dialects (ahruf). Render as halal of what it says to be halal! Render as haram of what it says to be haram! Do whatever you have ordered by it! Avoid things of what it prohibits! Draw lessons from its examples! Do whatever its muhkam verses command! Believe in its verses that are Mutashabih (have many meanings) and say ‘We believe in whatever comes from our Lord!’ 

Abdullah b. Mas’ud said,

“Whoever wants wisdom should get deep in the Qur’an because the wisdom of previous and later ones is in it!” Whenever I inform you about a hadith, I can also give you a confirmatory proof of it from the book of God!”

Abdullah b. Abbas said,

“If the knee bonds of a camel are lost, I will definitely find it in Allah (SWT)’s book.”

Said b. Jubayr said,

“No hadith of the prophet Muhammad (PBUH) whose confirmatory proof I could not find in Kitabullah (the book of God) reached me!”

When Imam Shafii was in Mecca, he said:

“Ask whatever you want from me! I will answer it from Kitabullah (the book of God)!”

They asked to Him:

“What would you say for the person who kills a bee fly while in ihram?

Imam Shafii recited the verse;

“In the name of God. Take what the Messenger assigns to you! And deny yourselves that which he withholds from you!” (Surah Al-Hashr, 59/7)

And He added: A hadith of the prophet Muhammad narrated to us by Huzaifa b. Yaman states:

“After me follow Abu Bakr (RA) and Umar b. Hattab! The news about the order by Umar b. Hattab (RA) for killing the beefly by a person who is in ihram was narrated from Tariq B. Sihab”

One day, Abu Bakr b. Mujahid said:

“There is nothing in this realm that you cannot find in The Qur’an!”

He was asked: “So in which part of the Qur’an, are inns mentioned?”

He answered reciting the following verse:

“It is no fault on your part to enter houses not used for living in, which serve some (other) use for you: and Allah has knowledge of what ye reveal and what ye conceal.” (Surah An-Noor, 24/29)

He said what is meant by houses in the verse is inns.”

Ibn Burhan said:

“What the prophet Muhammad (PBUH) said exists in the Qur’an either in the same form or with a close or far meaning. Only insightful people understand this truth but not blind ones. Similarly, ambitious ones can comprehend the elaborateness and fineness in every decree of the Quran  according to their views, efforts and understanding.”

Others said:

“There is nothing impossible to be grasped from the Qur’an for a person whom God gives insight.”

According to Ibn Fadl,

“Only Almighty Allah knows the essence of the sciences of which the word of Allah has. After Him, the prophet Muhammad understands it. The four caliphs and important companions of the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH); Hz. Abu Bakr, Hz. Umar, Hz. Uthman and Hz. Ali and others like Ibn Masud and Ibn Abbas possessed the knowledge given by God after the prophet.” (

Repost.. subhanaAllah this is heavy.

The story of Malik bin Dinar, how he came to repent!!

He was a very pious and learned man. He was not a companion of the Holy Prophet (peace be upon him), but a Taabeii (successor of the Sahaba). He met Abdullah bin Abbas, Imam Maalik and Hasan Basri. His family was from Sijistan (or Kabul) who later embraced Islam. He lived a very austere life and earned his livelihood by writing the Holy Qur’an. He learned Hadith from leading scholar and narrated few Hadith from Hasan Al Basri. He died in 127 A.H. He was a beacon of light for new Muslims.

Malik bin Dinar narrates his story in the following way: “I was a policeman and very fond of drinking. I led a care-free life. I bought a beautiful slave girl whom I loved dearly. I had a daughter from her, a lovely child. When my daughter began to walk, I loved her all the more and she remained with me all the time. The innocent child had a strange habit. When she saw a glass of wine in my hands, she would snatch it and spill it on my clothes. Being fond of her, I never scolded her. As fate would have it, my child died when she was two years old and I was shocked and sorely grieved.

“One the night of 15th of Shaaban, I was drunk and went to sleep without performing Isha prayers. I had a horrible dream. I saw myself among those bring driven to the assembly of people on the Day of Resurrection. I heard a noise and felt something following me. When I looked back, I saw a huge snake chasing me. Ah! It was a horrible sight; the snake had blue catlike eyes, its mouth was wide open and it was rushing toward me furiously! I ran faster in terror, desperate for my life, the horrible snake still running after me and drawing closer.

“I saw an old man, dressed in elegant clothes with rich perfumes wafting all around his person, I greeted him saying, “Assallam-o-Alaikum” and he returned my greetings. I said, “For the sake of Allah, help me in my misery”. He said “I am too weak to help you against such a mighty foe; it is beyond my powers. But you must go on running; perhaps you may find some help”. Running wildly I saw a cliff in front of me and climbed it, but on reaching its top, I saw, beyond it, the raging fire of hell. Meanwhile, I heard a voice calling aloud, “Get back, for, you are not one of them (the dwellers of hell).

“I turned and began to run in the opposite direction. The snake also turned around and came after me. I saw again the old man in white robes and said, “Old man, can’t you save me from this python.” The man began to cry and said, “I am too weak to help you against such a mighty snake, but I can tell you that there is a hill nearby where they keep the ‘sacred trusts’ of the Muslims. If you go up that hill, you might find something of yours, kept in trust, which might save you from the snake.” I rushed toward the hill, which was round in shape, with a large number of open curtailed casements. The casements had golden shutters studded with rich rubies, and most precious jewels; on each shutter hung a curtain made of the rarest silk.

“When I was going to climb the hill, the angels called aloud, “Open the windows and raise the curtains and come out of your closets! Here is an unfortunate man in misery; may be you have with you some ‘trust’ of his, that might help him in his distress.” The windows opened at once, the curtains went up, and there issued forth from the casements a host of innocent children, with faces bright as the full moon. By this time I was utterly despondent, for the snake had drawn very close to me. Now the children called their friends, “Come out quickly, all of you, for the snake has come very close to him.”

Hearing this, more children came out of their windows, in large crowds, and among them I saw my own dear daughter who had died some time ago. She also espied me and began to weep, exclaiming, “By Allah! He is my own dear father.” She jumped on a swinging cradle, which seemed to be made from heavenly light (Noor) and darted across to me. Next moment, she was standing by my side and I took her to my bosom; she lifted her left hand towards me and with her right hand motioned the snake away.

The snake went away immediately. Then she gave me a seat and sat in my lap and began to stroke my beard with her right hand saying, “My dear father, ‘Has not the time come for the believers (who indulge in sins) that their hearts should submit in all humility to the remembrance of Allah and to the truth which is revealed’ (Al-Hadeed:16)”. I was moved to tears and asked her, “My daughter, do all of you know the meanings of the Qur’an? She replied “We understand the Holy Quran even better than you.”

I asked her “My dear child, what was this snake?” She said “It was your own evil deeds which had made it so strong that it was about to push you into Jahannam”. I asked “And who was that white-robed old man?” She replied “That were your good deeds and you had made them so weak with your scanty good deeds that he could not help you against the snake (though he suggested to you a means of escape.)”

I asked “What are all of you doing on this hill?” She replied “We are children of Muslims, who died in infancy. We shall live here till the Day of Resurrection, waiting to be reunited with you when you come to us at last and we shall intercede for you with our Lord”. And then I awoke from the dream, with the fright (of the snake) still heavy on my heart. I turned to Allah in repentance, as soon as I arose; and abandoned all my evil ways.

Via Youtube: Tawheed on 1st Jan, 2021 V1:7- The most authentic books on Aqidah [Noor ala alDarb, Shaikh ibn Baz, Vol1] Language: English Q: Please guide me to the most authentic book on true Islamic `Aqidah (creed)! May Allah grant you success! [Vol. 1, Page No. 25-28] A: The most authentic noblest and greatest book dealing with the subject of `Aqidah and other subjects is the Glorious Qur`an. It contains the most truthful speech. No falsehood can approach it from before or behind it. It is a revelation from Allah, the All-Wise, the Praiseworthy. I advise the inquirer and all Muslims to hold fast to the Qur`an and to give it due attention by reciting it often, reflecting on its meanings and trying hard to memorize as many chapters of it as possible. It is the Greatest Book which Allah has sent down to His servants so that they may memorize it, follow its teachings and act upon it. It contains plain truths and clear guidance. Allah (Glorified and Exalted be He) states, Verily, this Qur`an guides to that which is most just and right) He (Glorified be He) also says, it is an honourable well-fortified respected Book (because it is Allah's Speech, and He has protected it from corruption). Falsehood cannot come to it from before it or behind it: (it is) sent down by the All-Wise, Worthy of all praise (Allah (عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ)). and: And We have sent down to you the Book (the Qur`an) as an exposition of everything, a guidance, a mercy, and glad tidings for those who have submitted themselves (to Allah as Muslims).). I thus advise the inquirer to care for this Great Book, recite it frequently, ponder over its meanings, study it together with colleagues and fellows, and refer to reliable books of Tafsir (exegesis of the meanings of the Qur`an), such as the book entitled "Adwa' Al-Bayan" for Al-Baghawy, Tafsir Ibn Kathir (may Allah be merciful to them all), and the like. They may also refer to commentaries of other Mufassirs (exegetes of the Qur`an) who clarified the meanings of the Ayahs of the Qur`an, citing related Hadiths of the Messenger ﷺ ), which contains guidance and light. You may refer to such books as Sahih Al-Bukhari, Sahih Muslim and the remaining four collections of Hadith (Abu Dawud, Al-Tirmidhi, Al-Nasa`i, and Ibn Majah). There are also many other books which explain the Sunnah of the Prophet (peace be upon him), including the Muwatta' of Imam Malik (may Allah be merciful to him), the Sunan of Al-Darimi (may Allah be merciful to him), the Sahih of Ibn Khuzaymah, the Sahih of Ibn Hibban, Al-Hakim and other books which are very beneficial. If you have some knowledge of Hadith, you will be able to differentiate between authentic and false Hadiths cited in the books referred to above. The Two Sahih (authentic) Books of Hadith (i.e. Al-Bukhari and Muslim) are an exception to this. The Muslim Ummah (community) has unanimously agreed on the authenticity of all the Hadiths compiled in them. You are also advised to follow in the footsteps of the righteous scholars of Hadith. The Two Sahih Books of Hadith have gained the credibility of Ahl-ul-Sunnah wal-Jama`ah (adherents to the Sunnah and the Muslim mainstream). The Muslim Ummah has also acknowledged them as authentic. Therefore, you must adhere to them tenaciously. You must also hold fast to the Book of Allah, the remaining four books of Sunan and the books we just mentioned. Scholars of Hadith have pointed out weak Hadiths and have given reasons for their weakness. As for books on the topic of `Aqidah, they are many. One of the best books in this regard is the "Kitab Al-Tawhid" by Ibn Khuzaymah, "Kitab Al-Sunnah" by "Abdullah Ibn Ahmad Ibn Hanbal, "Minhaj Al-Sunnah", by Shaykh Al-Islam Ibn Taymiyyah, which refutes the claims of the Mutazilites, and "Zad Al-Ma`ad" by Ibn Al-Qayyim, knowing that the latter is very good reference in the field of `Aqidah and rulings of Shariah (Islamic Law). Other books include "Ijtima" Al-Juyush Al-Islamiyyah" by Ibn Al-Qayyim which refutes the claims of innovators in religious matters, "Al-Sawa`iq Al-Mursalah" by Ibn Al-Qayyim, which also involves refutation of the claims of innovators in religious matters, and "Al-` Aqidah Al-Wasitiyyah" by Shaykh-ul-Islam Ibn Taymiyyah. This is a concise book which involves great benefit to Muslims. It is in line with the guidance of Ahl-ul-Sunnah wal-Jama`ah, and Shaykh- ul-Islam advised all Muslims, particularly seekers of knowledge, to memorize it, as it contains clear illustration of the doctrine of Ahl-ul-Sunnah wal-Jama`ah. Shaykh-ul-Islam also authored a book entitled "Al-Risalah Al-Hamawiyyah" which answers questions posed by the people of Hamah concerning proper... https://binbaz.org.sa/fatwas/27690/%D8%A7%D9%84%D8%A7%D8%B1%D8%B4%D8%A7%D8%AF-%D8%A7%D9%84%D9%89-%D8%A7%D9%81%D8%B6%D9%84-%D8%A7%D9%84%D9%83%D8%AA%D8%A8-%D9%81%D9%8A-%D8%A7%D9%84%D8%B9%D9%82%D9%8A%D8%AF-%D8%A7%D9%84%D8%A7%D8%B3%D9%84%D8%A7%D9%85%D9%8A%D8%A9-%D8%A7%D9%84%D8%B5%D8%AD%D9%8A%D8%AD%D8%A9 #Islam #Quran #Hadith #Sunnah #Fatwa

Shaikh Sadooq comments on this hadith saying:

إنما لا يكون له في‌ء لأنه مخلوق من نور الله عز و جل‌

“As for the Imam not having any shadow, that is because he is created from the light (Noor) of Allah (عز وجل)”

(Source: al-Khisal – Shaikh Saduq, Ch.10, Hadith. 5)

[shiaat]

Extract from the sermon of Messenger of Allah(peace be upon him and his purified progeny) at #Ghadeer khum "...I testify for Him from my self because I am His Abd, and testify His Lordship, and I convey whatever He reveals to me, with the realization that if I do not do it such a hardship would come down on me which no one could repel from me even if he is bestower of big favour and friendly character, because there is no God except Him. Certainly He has informed me that which commandment is revealed to me, if I do not convey it then it is as I did not convey His Risalat, and Allah has given me surety that He will protect me from the evil of people, and Allah Himself is Sufficient and Generous, and He has revealed to me, “With the Ism of Allah the Gracious the Merciful, Ya Rasool, what has been sent down upon you from your Rabb convey it, and if you do not do it, then it is as you never conveyed Risalat, and Allah will protect you from the evil of the people” (al-Ma’ida, v67) ...And I expressed to Jibraeel (a.s.) that Allah Ta’ala should excuse me from conveying this message to you people. Because, O people, I certainly know that there is lack of Muttaqeen (pious ones) and hypocrites are in majority, and there is deceits & deception of sinners, and there are plots of mockers of Islam, whom Allah mentioned in His Book, “Whatever they say from their tongues, it is not in their hearts” and they consider it trivial, whereas it is very hard thing near Allah. And these people have tortured me again and again, so much so that they called me “Ear” and thought that I am like that, only due to this reason that I mostly keep Ali (asws) with me, and keep attention to him. So Allah Ta’ala revealed about it, “Those people who torture Nabi (sawaw) and say that he is only Ear, you say in reply to those people who consider you such that him being Ear is better for you people”, and if I wish to tell the names of those who say so, I can tell, and if I want to point towards them, I can do, and if I want to introduce (expose) them, I can do, but I am dealing these matters in honourable behaviour. And concerning this matter Allah is not pleased with me at all except that what order He has sent down to me, I should convey it, so Allah says, “Ya Rasool, what has been sent down upon you from your Rabb convey it, and if you do not do it, then it is as you never conveyed Risalat, and Allah will protect you from the evil of the people.” O people, know and understand that certainly Allah has appointed Ali (asws) as Wali and Imam for you, his obedience is made obligatory on Muhajireen & Ansaar, and on those who follow him in virtue, and on inhabitants of villages and cities, and on non-Arabians & Arabians, and on free and slave, and on every small & big, and on every white and black, and this order is applicable to all monotheists, and to accept his words is obligatory, his command will be executed. Whoever will oppose him, he is accursed(Mal’oon). Whoever will obey him, he is blessed, whoever will testify him, he is Momin, surely Allah forgave him (his sins) who listened and obeyed him. O people, this is the last occasion & place that I am appointing Ali (asws). So listen and obey, and accept the order of your Rabb, because Allah Azza wa Jalla is your God and your Wali (Guardian), after Him His Rasool Mohammad (sawaw) is your Wali who is addressing to you while standing, then after me with the order of Allah Who is your Rabb, Ali (asws) is your Wali and your Imam. Then Imamat is in those who are from his progeny until the day of Meeting with Allah(azwj) and His Rasool (sawaw). Nothing is Halaal except which Allah has declared Halaal, and nothing is Haraam except which Allah has declared Haraam. Allah has given me the knowledge of Halaal & Haraam, and I have given it to Ali (asws) the knowledge of the Book which my Rabb has bestowed me and the knowledge of Halaal and Haraam. O people, there is no such knowledge which Allah(swt) has not enclosed in my soul, and I have not given that to Imam-ul-Muttaqeen Ali (asws), there is no such knowledge which I have not taught Ali (asws), and he is the Imam-e-Mubeen (asws). O people, accept his superiority because Allah(swt) has bestowed him superiority, and accept his Walayat because Allah has appointed him. O people, he is Imam from Allah, and Allah does not accept anyone’s repentance who denies his Walayat, and will never forgive him. And this is the right of Allah that who opposes His order should deal with him in such way that to give him severe of severest punishment forever and for all the times. So avoid His opposition lest you go in Fire whose fuel is the people and stones which is prepared for the deniers. O people, by Allah, previous Prophets (as) and Messengers (as) were given good news about me, and I am the Last of the Prophets (as) & Messengers (as), and I am the Hujjat upon all the creations in the heavens and the earths, thus whoever doubts about it is Kafir, Kafir of previous ignorance. And whoever doubted about my this saying (Walayat-e-Ali (asws)) he doubted in my Risalat, and doubtful about it will go to Fire. O people, believe Ali (asws) superior because after me he is superior to all whether they are men or women. For our sake Allah sends down provisions (Rizq) and creations perpetuate for our sake as well. He is accursed, accursed, wrathed one, wrathed one who rejects my this saying and does not agree with it. Beware, Jibraeel (as) has conveyed this news from Allah(swt) that who keeps animosity with Ali (asws) and does not keep friendship with him, My Curse and My Wrath is on him. So every soul should ponder what he sends forward for tomorrow. Fear Allah and do not oppose Him, lest your feet slip after being steadfast. No doubt whatever you are doing Allah is Knowing. O people, he (Ali asws) is Janbullah, whom Allah has mentioned in His Book, “Alas, why I did shortfall concerning Janbullah” By Allah, no one will explain to you correctly the warnings in Quran and will not make clear its Tafseer for you except this personality whose hand I am holding and whom I am lifting and whose arm I am holding and am teaching you that for whomever I am Maola, for him is this Ali(asws) Maola, and he is Ali ibne Abi Talib (asws), my brother and my Wasi, and his being Wali is from Allah Azza wa Jalla, and He has sent down this commandment upon me. Then Rasool Allah (sawaw) raised Ali (asws) more high by holding his arm, so much that his feet came at the level of his knees. Although he was holding the hand of Amirul Momineen (asws) since that time when he mounted the pulpit. O Allah, You keep friendship with him who keeps friendship with him, and keep animosity to him who keeps animosity to him, and curse on him who denies him and opposes his right, and be wrathful to him who fights with him. O Allah, You have revealed it to me that Imamat is for Your Wali Ali (asws), and when I announced his superiority openly with which You perfected the Deen of Your servants and completed Your Favour upon them and chose Islam as Deen for them, then You said, “And who will adopt instead of Islam any Deen then nothing will be accepted from him and he will be among the losers in the Hereafter” (Aale Imran, verses 85), Ya Allah, I make You Witness that I have conveyed Your message. O people, this Ali (asws) helps me more than you all together, and is more rightful than you all near me, and is more near & beloved to me than you all, and Allah Azza wa Jalla and I both are pleased with him, and there is no verse related to Pleasure of Allah revealed which is not about him, and Allah did not address Momineen in any place but its real addressee is him, and there is no praising verse in Quran revealed which is not in his favour, and in Sura Hal Ata Allah has confirmed Jannah specifically for him, and did not reveal that Sura in any other’s favour except him, nor praised any one else in it except him. O people, every Nabi’s progeny is from himself, but my progeny (asws) is from Ali asws. O people, Iblees caused Adam (a.s.) to exit from Paradise due to enviousness. Thus you must not be jealous to Ali asws, otherwise your all deeds will be nullified, and your feet will stagger. Adam (as) was sent down on the earth due to one mistake, though he was chosen of Allah, then what will be your condition if you slip while you are only servant of Allah? No one keeps grudge with Ali (asws) except evil hearted, and no one loves Ali (asws) except pious one, and no one believes in him except pure Momin, and by Allah, He revealed Sura al-Asr only in favour of Ali (asws). O people, believe in Allah and His Rasool (sawaw) and that Noor which came down with him, before that We disfigure your faces then turn them toward back. O people, Noor from Allah Azza wa Jalla is in my self, then it is transferred to Ali (asws), then in his progeny until al-Qaim al-Mahdi (asws) who will take revenge for the right of Allah and for the right of all Momineen, because Allah has made us Hujjat on Muqassireen, enemies, opponents, usurpers, sinfuls, and unjust ones of all the worlds. O people, you do not show favour to us by accepting Islam otherwise Allah will be Wrathful upon you, and then punishment will strike you from Him, and He is looking for such people. O people, just after me there will be such Imams who will invite toward Fire, and they will not be helped on the day of Qiyamah. O people, no doubt, Allah and I both are immune to them. O people, certainly those Imams and their supporters and their Shias and their Muqallideen (followers) will be in the lowest level of the Hell, such is the evil residence of the arrogant ones. O people, I leave Imamat & Warasat (inheritor & owner of Deen) in my progeny (asws) until Qiyamah, and which thing I was commanded to convey that I have conveyed which is Hujjat (proof, authority) on every present and absent, and on everyone who is present here or is not present, and on everyone who has been born or who is not yet born. Thus who is present should convey it to the absent, and every father should preach (convey, Tableegh) Walayat to his son, this chain should continue until Qiyamah. And soon people will make a state by usurping. Beware, Curse of Allah is on usurpers and their companions. And O both parties, We will be free quickly to take your account (Hisaab) that time, then on both engulfing Fire and molten copper will be sent, so you both will not be able to stop it. O people, there is no such habitat (dwelling) which is not destroyed due to belying him (Ali asws), and similarly every habitat will be destroyed which does injustice, as Allah Azza wa Jalla has mentioned. And this Ali (asws) is your Imam and your Wali, and those are promises (covenants) of Allah and Allah fulfils His promise. O people, offer prayer and give Zakat as Allah Azza wa Jalla has commanded. If your time is extended and you do a mistake then this Ali (asws) is your Wali (Guardian), he will make (truth) clear for you, whom Allah Azza wa Jalla has appointed. O people, every Halaal which I have told you, and every Haraam from which I have forbidden you, certainly I will not step back from it nor will change it, so you remember it, guard it, and advise each other about it, and never change it nor alter it. Beware, I again repeat this thing. Beware, establish prayer and give Zakat, and command good and forbid evil. Beware, important thing about Amr-bil-Maroof and Nahi-anil-Munkir is that it should be done according to my words (saying, order), and convey this message to him who is not present here, and command him to accept my order, and forbid him to oppose my words, because this is command of Allah Azza wa Jalla and mine, and without Imam (asws) neither is Amr-bil-Maroof nor Nahi-anil-Munkir. O people, your number is more than that you pay allegiance to me one by one at this moment, but Allah has commanded me take testimony from your tongues for this matter that I have taken firm covenant of Ali (asws) being Amirul Momineen, and after him for those Imams (asws) who are from mine & his progeny, I have told you already that my progeny is from him (Ali asws). So you testify all together, “Whatever You (sawaw) have conveyed to us from our Rabb & your Rabb concerning Ali (asws) and concerning those Imams (asws) who are from his family and from his progeny, we have listened and we are happy with it, ready to obey. We pay allegiance to it with our heart, with soul, with tongue and with hand, we will live with it and die on it as well, and will be raised on it as well, and we will not make any change & alteration in it, nor will we doubt & suspect about it, and we will never turn away from this covenant, nor will break this undertaking (Pact), and we will obey Allah and you (sawaw) and obey Amirul Momineen Ali (asws) and Imams (asws) who are from his progeny, and whom you (sawaw) have mentioned that they are from your progeny and from him (Ali asws) after Hassan (asws) and Hussain (asws). O people, say that what I am telling you, and say Salam to Ali (asws) while addressing him Amirul Momineen, and say that as well, “We listen and obey, O our Rabb forgive us, and we will return only to You” and say this as well, “Every Praise is only for Allah Who guided us to this matter, and if Allah would not have guided us then we would not have been guided. O people, there are abundant merits of Ali ibne Abi Talib (asws) near Allah, and what He has revealed in Quran it is much more than that I could narrate in my one sermon at one place. Thus anyone who tells you those merits and make you understand then you should confirm it. O people, say only that thing, by saying which Allah is pleased with you. Then if you and all the inhabitants of earth become Kafir (denier of Walayat-e-Ali asws), you will not be able to cause any loss to Allah. Ya Allah, You pardon all Momineen, and send down Your Wrath on all Kafirs, and every Praise is for Allah the Rabb of the worlds. • [Tafseer of Al-Ma'ida : verses 3, al-Burhan, volume 2, page 376] #Ghadeer #khum #AliMawla #ALIUNWALLAH #wilayateAli
