HADITH/SAYINGS OF MUHAMMAD
SALLALLAHU ALYHI WA SALLAM

Talhah bin Ubaidullah (May Allah be pleased with him) reported: A person with dishevelled hair, one of the people of Najd, came to the Messenger of Allah Sallallahu Alyhi Wa Sallam. We heard the humming of his voice but could not fully understand what he was saying, till he approached close to the Messenger of Allah Sallallahu Alyhi Wa Sallam. Then I came to know that he was asking about Islam.

The Messenger of Allah Sallallahu Alyhi Wa Sallam said: "There are five (obligatory) Salaah during the day and the night." He said: "Am I obliged to perform any other (Salaah) besides these?'' The Messenger of Allah Sallallahu Alyhi Wa Sallam said, "No, but whatever you observe voluntarily.'' He Sallallahu Alyhi Wa Sallam added, "There is the Saum of Ramadan.'' The inquirer asked: "Am I obliged to do anything besides this?'' The Messenger of Allah Sallallahu Alyhi Wa Sallam said, "No, but whatever you do out of your own free will. You may observe voluntary fasting.'' And the Messenger of Allah Sallallahu Alyhi Wa Sallam told him about the Zakaah (obligatory charity).

The inquirer asked: "Am I obliged to pay anything besides this?'' The Messenger of Allah Sallallahu Alyhi Wa Sallam said, "No, but whatever you pay voluntarily out of your own free will.'' That man turned back saying: "By Allah! I will neither make any addition to this nor will I decrease anything from it.'' (Upon hearing this) the Messenger of Allah Sallallahu Alyhi Wa Sallam remarked, "He is successful if he proves truthful (to what he is saying).'' [Al-Bukhari and Muslim]

Commentary: This Hadith highlights the following three points:
1. The status of some of the important obligations and voluntary prayers.
2. By mentioning practice with the precepts, it has made the fact evident that the two are inseparable.
3. It indicates the sagacious mode of preaching and invitation, and tells that ordinary people should be first of all taught the obligations of Islam and then gradually told to follow the Sunnah and Mustahabbat (desirable acts).

POEM
WINGS OF PRAYER
-------------------
Just close your eyes and open your heart
And feel your worries and care depart
Just yield yourself to Allah above
And let him hold you secure in his love

For the life on this earth grows more involved
With endless problems that can’t be solved
But Allah only asks us to do our best
Then He will take over and finish the rest

So when you are tired, discouraged or blue
There’s only one door that is open to you
And that is the door to the House of Prayer
And you’ll find Allah waiting to meet you there

And the House of Prayer is no further away
Than the quiet spot where you kneel and pray
For the heart is a temple when Allah is there
As we place ourselves in his loving care

And He hears every prayer and answers each one
When we pray in His name
And the burden that seems too heavy to bear
Are lifted away on THE WINGS OF PRAYER

 
THE SMILE
MEXICAN IS AT BORDER
------------------------
A US Border Patrol Agent catches an illegal alien in the bushes right by the border fence, he pulls him out and says "Sorry, you know the law, you've got to go back across the border right now."

The Mexican man pleads with them, "No, noooo Senior, I must stay in de USA! Pleeeze!"

The Border Patrol Agent thinks to himself, I'm going to make it hard for him and says "Ok, I'll let you stay if you can use 3 english words in a sentence".

The Mexican man of course agrees.

The Border Patrol Agent tells him, "The 3 words are: Green, Pink and Yellow. Now use them in 1 sentence."

The Mexican man thinks really hard for about 2 minutes, then says, "Hmmm, Ok. The phone, it went Green, Green, Green, I Pink it up and sez Yellow?"
