Let's start with the name of Allah, All Knowing and The Most Merciful.
Dua Of The Day
رَبِّ هَبْ لِي مِنَ الصَّالِحِينَ
(Refer: Targhib, vol. 3 pg. 327/8)
And Allah Ta’ala Knows best.
Our beloved Prophet Muhammad PBUH stated that from these three types of people Allah will not accept from them any of their Ibadah neither Salah nor charity or any other act of worship.
These three types of people are:
1. Al- Aaq
A person who is rude to his parents especially his or her mother. The one who talks back and doesn't respect his mother. The person who does not listens to his parents at all especially his mother is the first person out of the three types from whom Allah will not accept any act of worship. This includes Salah (prayer), Sadaqah (charity) or any other act of worship.
This emphasizes the importance of women in Islam especially mothers. This tells us how important it is for us to respect and obey our parents as well as it also explains us that how our parents are one of the greatest blessings of Allah through whom our Almighty has given us the purest form of love and care.
2. Al Mannan
Al Mannan is a person who gives you something and then tells you "Look i gave you this and that", so you should be grateful to me. They make you count the favors that they have done for you and then they expect something in return.
As, for true Muslims doing good for others should only be for the sake of pleasing Allah and with the pure intention of helping someone. We should never count the favors that we have done for any fellow being as we will surely be compensated by Allah in the afterlife with the best. None should embarrass a person by talking about the favors he has done.
3. The Untrustworthy Seller
The person who sells his merchandise by saying something like "Wallahi this is how much i paid for it" and in reality, he did not pay that much for it. Trying to use Wallah to make the buyer believe his lie that he is telling truth so that he can gain more money for the goods.
This is now very common in this era where everyone craves for money. We should never forget that our Rizq is decided by Allah and we are commanded to only earn Halal and to avoid lying and fraud. We should always remember that those few earned extra cents will get us no Barakah but will get us closer to Hellfire.
Verse Of The Day
SURAH AN-NISA AYAT 1 (4:1 QURAN)
English Translation
O mankind! reverence
your Guardian-Lord, who created you from a single person, created, of like
nature, His mate, and from them twain scattered (like seeds) countless men and women; - reverence Allah, through whom ye demand your mutual (rights), and
(reverence) the wombs (That bore you): for Allah ever watches over you.
Explanation
What
are the mutual rights of human beings, what are the principles on which a sound
and stable family life can be established, are questions that are discussed a
little further on in this surah. As an appropriate introduction to the subject,
the surah opens by exhorting the believers to fear God and to avoid courting
His displeasure, and by urging them to recognize that all human beings have
sprung from the same root and that all of them are, therefore, of one another’s
flesh and blood. The expression ‘Who created you from a single being (nafs)’
indicates that the creation of the human species began with the creation of one
individual. At another place, the Qur’an specifies that the one person from
whom the human race spread in the world was Adam. For Adam being the progenitor
of mankind see Towards Understanding the Qur’an, (Surah
Al-Baqarah, Ayat 31) and (Surah
Al-Aaraf, Ayat 11).
The
details how out of that ‘being’ its mate was created are not known to us. The
explanation which is generally given by the commentators of
the Qur’an, and which is also found in the Bible is that Eve was,
created out of a rib of Adam. (The Talmud is even more detailed in that it
states that Eve was created out of Adam’s thirteenth rib on the left side.) The
Qur’an, however, is silent on the matter and the tradition which is adduced in
support of this statement does not mean what it is often thought to be. It is
thus better that we leave the matter in the same state of ambiguity in which it
was left by God, rather than waste our time trying to determine, in detail, the
actual process of the creation of man’s mate.
