Narrated Anas (RadiAllaahu anhu): I will narrate to you a Hadeeth I heard from Allaah's Messenger (SalAllaahu alaihe wa sallam) and none other than I will tell you of it. I heard Allaah's Messenger (SalAllaahu alaihe wa sallam) saying, "From among the portents of the Hour are the following:
1.Religious knowledge will be taken away
2. General ignorance (in religious matters) will increase
3. Illegal sexual intercourse will prevail
4. Drinking alcoholic drinks will be in plenty
5. Men will decrease in number, so much so that fifty women will be looked after by one man."
[Sahih Al Bukhari #5231]

Random Looks
Aisha (RadiAllaahu anha) said: I asked the Messenger of Allaah (SallAllaahu alayhi wa sallam) about random looks in salat (prayer), and he replied, “It is something which satan snatches from the slave’s salat.”
[Al-Bukhari]
[Al-Bukhari]
What you should say instead
Aisha (RadiAllaahu anha) said: The Prophet (SallAllaahu alayhi wa sallam) said, “None of you should say: ‘My soul has become evil.’ He should say: ‘My soul is in bad shape.’”

Always Remember Allah
On the authority of Abu Abbas 'Abdullah, the son of 'Abbas (Radi Allahu anhumma), who said:
One day I was behind the Prophet (SalAllahu alaihe was sallam) and he said to me: O young man, I shall teach you some words [of advice]: Be mindful of Allah, and Allah will protect you. Be mindful of Allah, and you will find Him in front of you, If you ask, ask of Allah; if you seek help, seek help of Allah. Know that if the Ummah (nation, group likewise) were to gather together to benefit you with anything, it would benefit you only with something that Allah had already prescribed for you, and that if they gather together to harm you with anything, they would harm you only with something Allah had prescribed for you. The pens have been lifted and the pages have dried [1].
It was related by at-Tirmidhi, who said it was a Hasan and Sahih Hadith.
[1] i.e. what has been written and decreed cannot be altered.

The world is accursed.....

except remembrance of Allaah and those who associate themselves with

....as long as you pray to Me.....
Anas (RadiAllaahu anhu) reported: Messenger of Allaah (SalAllaahu alaihe wa sallam) said, "Allaah, the Exalted, has said: 'O son of Adam, I forgive you as long as you pray to Me and hope for forgiveness, whatever sins you have committed. O son of Adam, I do not care if your sins reach the height of the heaven, then you ask for my forgiveness, I would forgive you. O son of Adam, if you come to Me with an earth load of sins, and meet Me associating nothing to Me, I would match it with an earth load of forgiveness."

When you should read the Bible?
Question:
What is the ruling upon reading the Bible?
Answer:
The revealed books [from the previous revelations] have within them a great amount of distortions and additions and (a great amount has been) removed from them, as Allaah the Most High has mentioned. Therefore it is not permissible for a Muslim that he put himself forward in reading and studying them, except if he is one who is from the firmly grounded in knowledge, and he intends to clarify that which is within them from the distortion and contradictions between them.

"But if he intends to do an evil act........"
Abdullah bin Abbas (RadiAllaahu anhu) reported: Messenger of Allaah (SalAllaahu alaihe wa sallam) said;
that Allaah(Subhaana wa ta ala) has ordered that the good and the bad deeds be written down. Then he explained it clearly how (to write): He who intends to do a good deed but he does not do it, then Allaah records it for him as a full good deed, but he who carries out his intention, then Allaah (Subhaana wa ta ala) writes it down for him as from ten to seven hundred folds, and even more. But if he intends to do an evil act and has not done it, then Allaah writes it down with Him as a full good deed, but if he intends it and has done it, Allaah writes it down as one bad deed."

"What has happened to you,...."
Usamah bin Zaid (RadiAllaahu anhu) reported: The Messenger of Allaah (SalAllaahu alaihe wa sallam) said,
" A man will be brought on the Day of Resurrection and will be cast into Hell, and his intestines will pour forth and he will go round them as a donkey goes round a millstone.The inmates of Hell will gather round him and say, "What has happened to you, O so-and-so? Were you not enjoining us to do good and forbidding us to do evil? He replied:
' I was enjoining you to do good, but was not doing it myself; and I was forbidding you to do evil, but not doing it myself."

Two Statements
Abu Hurairah (RadiAllaahu anhu) reported: The Messenger of Allaah (SalAllaahu alaihe wa sallam) said,
"There are two statements that are light for the tongue to remember, heavy in the Scales and are dear to the Merciful:
'Subhaan Allaahi wa bihamdihi, Subhaan Allaahil- Azim' [Glory be to Allaah and His is the praise, (and) Allaah, the Greatest is free from imperfection]."

Wala'
Q.What is Wala' (friendship, loyalty)?
A. Wala' (friendship, loyalty) is love and help of the faithful believers. Allaah says:
"The believers, men and women, are Awliya' (helpers, supporters, friends, protectors) of one another." (9:71)
The Prophet (SalAllaahu alaihe wa sallam) said:
"The faithful believers are as a brick structure, each supporting the other." (Muslim)
This was taken from "Islamic Creed Based on Qur'an and Sunnah" By Muhammad bin Jamil Zino

If you depend on Allaah with due reliance....
Umar (RadiAllaahu anhu) said: I heard the Messenger of Allaah (SalAllaahu alaihe wa sallam) saying:
"If you all depend on Allaah with due reliance, He would certainly give you provision as He gives it to birds who go forth hungry in the morning and return with full belly at dusk."

Gain Knowledge for the Pleasure of Allaah!
Abu Hurairah (RadiAllaahu anhu) said The Messenger of Allaah (salallaahu alaihe wa sallam) said, " A person who acquires (religious) knowledge, which is (normally) acquired to gain the pleasure of Allaah, (for the sole reason) to secure worldly comforts will not even smell the fragrance of Jannah on the Day of Resurrection (i.e., will not enter Jannah)."

| Sneezing vs. Yawning |
Abu Hurairah (RadiAllaahu anhu) reported: The Prophet (Salallahu alaihe wa sallam) said, "Allaah likes sneezing and dislikes yawning. When any one of you sneezes and says 'Al-hamdu lillaah (praise be to Allaah)', it becomes obligatory upon every Muslim who hears him to respond with 'Yarhamuk-Allaah
(may Allaah have mercy on you)'. Yawning is from the shaitan (devil).
When one of you feels like yawning, he should restrain it as much as
possible, for the devil laughs when one of you yawns."
[Al-Bukhari]
| What follows you to your grave? |
Anas said that the Prophet (Sal Allaahu alaihe wa sallam) said:
“ The dead person is followed (to his grave) by three: His family, his wealth and his actions. Two of them return and only one remains. His family and wealth return, but his actions remain.”
