The Quran, ( our book of guidance ) starts with a Bismillah. The first Ayah which was sent down asks us to mention Him before reciting.    ٱقۡرَأۡ  بِٱسۡمِ  رَبِّكَ  ٱلَّذِي  خَلَقَ  -Recite in the name of your lord who created you.

Hadith on Condemnation of Pride

Image
                      Hadith on Condemnation of Pride   Abdullah bin Masud (RA) reported: The Prophet (SAW) said ,” he who has,  in his heart,  an ant’s weight of arrogance, will not enter Jannah .” Someone said :”A man likes to wear beautiful clothes and shoes?” Messenger of Allah (SAW) said,”Allah is beautiful, He loves beauty. Arrogance means ridiculing and rejecting the truth and despising people.” [Sahih Muslim] Commentary: The Hadith stresses , that a man who has even an iota of pride in his heart will be barred from entering Jannah. The Hadith word used for smallest amount means in Arabic, either the smallest ant or the particle which is radiated by the sun-rays and seen through a wall-chink. Obviously such a particle has almost a non existent amount, but even this much is disapproved by Allah. If pride incites a man to deny the existence of Allah and His revelation. He is sure to be thrown into Hell. He also f...

Hadith on Repentance

Image
  Abu Huraira (RA) reported: I heard Messenger (SAW) saying: “By Allah, I seek Allah’s forgiveness and repent to him more than 70 times a day.”                            (Sahih Al Bukhari) Commentary :   It is an inducement for seeking pardon and forgiveness. The prophet (saw) whose past and future   sins were forgiven , asked Allah’s forgiveness - then how about us, who commit sins on regular basis , not to seek pardon and forgiveness from Allah? Sincere and ceaseless prayer for pardon is essential so that the sins committed by us unintentionally are also forgiven. The above hadith lays great emphasis on seeking forgiveness. It is necessary to repent from every sin. If the offense involves rights of Allah, not a human then there are three conditions to be met in order that the repentance be accepted by Allah:               a. To desist from committing it. ...

Hadith on ease in our religion

Image
                  Such beautiful is our religion: SubhanAllah  Aisha (RA) reported: The Prophet(saw) came in when a women was sitting beside me. He asked me , “Who is she ?’ I said : She is the one whose performance of salat has become the talk of the town.”  Addressing her, he (saw) said , (What is this!) you are required to take upon only what you can carry out easily. By Allah , Allah does not withhold His Mercy and forgiveness of you until you neglect and give up (good works). Allah likes the deeds best which a worshipper can carry out constantly.” {Al Bukhari and Al Muslim} Commentary: The hadith prohibits ibadah beyond one’s capacity, lest one gets tired and stops it altogether . One should be therefore moderate in this respect. Allah likes that good action which is done regularly, even if it is a small one . Any good deed which is done continuously will have an everlasting reward. On the contrary , a good deed which is done f...
