Some Practial Reminders

 

Surah 2 Al-Baqara, Ayat 155-156] And certainly, We shall test you with something of fear, hunger, loss of wealth, lives and fruits, but give glad tidings to As-Sâbirun. Who, when afflicted with calamity, say: "Truly! To Allâh we belong and truly, to Him we shall return.". 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]

Du'as from the holy Qur'an:

Hadith: Abu Hurayrah (ra) reported that Allah's Messenger said: "A Muslim has five rights upon other Muslims: Responding to his Salam, Answering his invitation (to food), Making Tashmeet when he sneezes, Visiting him when he is sick, and Following his Janazah when he dies." (Bukhari and Muslim).

 

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 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."
