They are those on whom are the Salawât from their Lord, and receive His Mercy, and it is they who are the guided-ones.

 

 

 

Du'as from holy Qur'an for Parents & Offspring:

 

[Surah 2 Baqarah, Ayat 128-129]

 

[Surah 14 Ibrahim, Ayat 40-41]

 

 

[Surah 17 Al-Isra, Ayat 23-25]

 

 

[Surah 25 Al-Furqan, Ayat 74]

 

 

[Surah 26 Al-Shuara, Ayat 83-85]

 

 

 

Du'as from- the holy Qur'an:

 

http://picasaweb.google.com/4U2Seee/DuasFromHolyQurAn

 

Hadith: Allah's Messenger said: "Whoever attends the Janazah until it is finished, will earn one Qirat, and who ever stays until the burial, will earn two Qirats. Someone asked: What a Qirat means? The Prophet (pbuh) answered:' It means rewards as big as a great mountain" (Bukhari & Muslim).

 

 

Hadith: On the authority of Suhaib, the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) is reported as having said: "How wonderful is the affair of the believer, for his affair is all good, and this applies to no one except the believer. If something good happens to him, he gives thanks and that is good for him, and if something bad happens to him, he bears it with patience, and he will be rewarded for that, so everything that Allah has decreed for the Muslim is good" (Muslim).

 

Hadith: According to an authentic hadith: "The greatest reward comes with the greatest trial. When Allah loves a people He tests them. Whoever accepts that wins His pleasure but whoever is discontent with that earns His wrath" (At-Tirmidhi).

 

Al-Hasan Al-Basri (may Allah bless his soul) said, "Do not hate the trials that befall you or the calamities that happen to you, for they may be something that you hate but it leads you to salvation, and there may be something that you love, but it brings to you your doom."

Do all these SUNNAH regularly, but don't take the salafi shuyookh, right from Ibn Abdalwahab, bin baz, albani, uthymeen waghyruhum as your ahbaar wa ruhbans ARBABAM MIN DOONILLAH (9:31) to commit shirk and accuse muslims falsely of committing shirk----WHAT A PITY.

Praise be to Allaah, we seek His help and His forgiveness. We seek refuge with Allaah from the evil of our own souls and from our bad deeds. Whomsoever Allaah guides will never be led astray, and whomsoever Allaah leaves astray, no one can guide. I bear witness that there is no god but Allaah, and I bear witness that Muhammad is His slave and Messenger.
 
  
Bismillah Walhamdulillah Was Salaatu Was Salaam 'ala Rasulillah
As-Salaam Alaikum Wa-Rahmatullahi Wa-Barakatuhu
 

5 Difficult Sunnahs You Ought To Be Doing


1. Praying Tahajjud or the Night Prayer.

Oh yeah, this one is difficult. It's hard enough for many Muslims to even get up for Salaatul Fajr (the Dawn Prayer) which is mandatory. It's certainly no easy thing waking up even earlier for the night prayer. Establishing and maintaining this wonderful act takes great sacrifice and patience.
Which is why the rewards are so plentiful.

In fact, this is one of the few Sunnahs that are endorsed by Allah in the Quran as well as the hadith.
Arise to (pray) the night except for a little. Half of it or subtract from it a little.
Chapter 73, verse 2-3.

2. Making All of The Sunnah Prayers


  • Two Rakaah before Salaatul Fajr; none after.
  • Four Rakaah before Salaatul Dhuhr; two Rakaah after.
  • Four Rakaah before Salaatul Asr; none after.
  • None before Salaatul Maghrib; two Rakaah after.
  • None before Salaatul Isha; two Rakaah after.
  • It is also recommended that you make Salaatul Witr before going to bed. This can also be combined with Tahajjud instead.


3. Fasting on Mondays and Thursdays

Generally, fasting is difficult no matter when you do it. It's difficult to do it for thirty days straight during Ramadhan. And it's difficult to do it twice a week outside of Ramadan.

But it is an act that is loved by Allah. So, it is something you should try to make part of your life. After all, this is one action that no one except you and Allah knows about.

People can see you pray. And they can see you give charity. And they can see you read Quran.
But no one can "see" you fast. Even if you tell someone you're fasting, no one knows the truth except you and Allah. That's one of the reasons Allah loves this deed so much.


4. Reciting Suratul Kahf on Fridays

Suratul Kahf (the Chapter of the Cave) is a very interesting chapter. It is the 18th chapter of the Quran and includes many lessons and stories. Some of the stories included are:
  • The story of the Companions of the Cave.
  • The story of Musa and Khidhr.
  • The story of Dhul Qarnain and Gog and Magog.
Some of the lessons included are:
  • Leaving the land of disbelief if oppressed for your beliefs.
  • Understanding that all pleasures in this world are temporary.
  • Being patient with Allah's decree.
  • Signs of the Last Day.
Whoever reads Suratul Kahf on Friday, he will be illuminated with light between the two Fridays. Narrated by Al-Hakim
It's easy to see the benefits of reciting suratul Kahf every Friday. But actually doing so is not so easy. Some reasons I think many people neglect this action:
  • It's a fairly long chapter. It takes about forty minutes to read the entire chapter in Arabic with proper Tajweed. Even someone who reads better than I do would probably take at least half an hour.
  • You have to know how to read Arabic and read it pretty well. If you don't know how to read Arabic or if you're not very good at it, you're going to find what takes me forty minutes will probably take you a couple of hours. Not trying to discourage you. Just keeping it real. And no, you can't read it in English and expect the same reward.
  • People forget. It's not easy to remember to do something once a week, week in and week out. If it's done every day, it might be easier to remember. My suggestion, program your cell phone calendar to remind you that it's Friday and you have to read Suratul Kahf.
  • People are lazy. Plain and simple.


5. Making Two Rakaahs After Every Wudu

Seriously? This one is not even all that difficult. But I'm sure many people don't do it.
Abu Hurairah reported that the Messenger of Allah, upon whom be peace, said to Bilal, "O Bilal, tell me what good deed you have done in Islam that I hear the sound of your footsteps in Paradise?" Bilal said, "That after I purify myself during the day or night, I pray with that purification as much as Allah has destined for me." Related by Bukhari

I can understand why you might want to neglect this deed. If you work in an office building or are in school, it may not be so easy to find a place to make a two rakaah several times a day.
But this is a list difficult Sunnahs, isn't it?

Don't be too hard on yourself if you're not fulfilling any of these. Even though there is great reward in doing them, they are voluntary acts. So there is no punishment if you decide not to do them.
However, rather than neglect them altogether, pick out the ones you think you can do. And then, do it.
It's really that simple.

  • It's a fairly long chapter. It takes about forty minutes to read the entire chapter in Arabic with proper Tajweed. Even someone who reads better than I do would probably take at least half an hour.
  • You have to know how to read Arabic and read it pretty well. If you don't know how to read Arabic or if you're not very good at it, you're going to find what takes me forty minutes will probably take you a couple of hours. Not trying to discourage you. Just keeping it real. And no, you can't read it in English and expect the same reward.
  • People forget. It's not easy to remember to do something once a week, week in and week out. If it's done every day, it might be easier to remember. My suggestion, program your cell phone calendar to remind you that it's Friday and you have to read Suratul Kahf.
  • People are lazy. Plain and simple.


5. Making Two Rakaahs After Every Wudu

Seriously? This one is not even all that difficult. But I'm sure many people don't do it.
Abu Hurairah reported that the Messenger of Allah, upon whom be peace, said to Bilal, "O Bilal, tell me what good deed you have done in Islam that I hear the sound of your footsteps in Paradise?" Bilal said, "That after I purify myself during the day or night, I pray with that purification as much as Allah has destined for me." Related by Bukhari

I can understand why you might want to neglect this deed. If you work in an office building or are in school, it may not be so easy to find a place to make a two rakaah several times a day.
But this is a list difficult Sunnahs, isn't it?

Don't be too hard on yourself if you're not fulfilling any of these. Even though there is great reward in doing them, they are voluntary acts. So there is no punishment if you decide not to do them.
However, rather than neglect them altogether, pick out the ones you think you can do. And then, do it.
It's really that simple.
