REFORMATION OF CHARACTER

All praise is due to Allah Ta'aala, who has beautified man in form by granting him the best stature and size. He has protected him from overgrowth and under development in his shape and stature, but has entrusted the beautification of character to man's exertions and efforts and has encouraged and urged him to refine his character by admonishments and warnings.

We bear witness that there is non worthy of worship except Allah Ta'aala, who is alone and has no partner. We also bear witness that our master and leader, Nabi Sallallahu Alaihi Wa Sallam is his servant and messenger, from whose forehead lines sparkled the rays of prophethood. The reality of the truth could be witnessed from His characteristics and foretokens.

May Allah's peace and blessings descend upon him, his family and companions who have cleansed Islam from the darkness and gloominess of Kufr (Disbelief). They have completely cut off the roots of falsehood and thus became unaffected with a little or much falsehood.

Good character is the quality of the leader of all prophets (Sallallahu Alaihi Wa Sallam) and was the best of deeds attributed to the Siddiqeen (the truthful ones). Bad character is an evil which distances us from nearness to Allah Ta'aala. The Nourisher and Sustainer (Rabb) of the entire creation. It leads its perpetrator in the rank of the devils (Shayateen) as Allah Ta'aala mentions "He is indeed successful who purifies it (i.e. the soul) and he who corrupts it, is a failure.

Nabi Sallallahu Alaihi Wa Sallam has said: "Verily, the weightiest deed to be placed on a believers scale (of deeds) on the day of Qiyaamah, will be good character and surely Allah Ta'aala dislikes and abhors an obscene person." (Tirmizi)

Nabi Sallallahu Alaihi Wa Sallam has said: "A believer attains by deeds, the stage of a person standing (in Ibaadah) during the night and fasting during the day." (Abu Dawud)

Nabi Sallallahu Alaihi Wa Sallam has said: "The Muslim who associates with the people and bears their harm with patience is better than him whom does not associate with the people, nor does he patiently bear their harm. (Tirmizi, Ibn Majah)

Nabi Sallallahu Alaihi Wa Sallam has said: "The believer whose Imaan is most perfect is one with the best character. (Abu Dawud, Daarimi)

I seek refuge with Allah from Shaytaan, the accursed.

"And external and secretive sin. Verily those who commit sin will soon be awarded by the sin which they have perpetrated" (Al An'aam, Ayat 120)

(Khutbaatul Ahkaam, Pg 46/47)

AT THE TIME OF A STORM OR FLOODS

When a storm or flood is eminent, one should sit cross - legged on the ground and placing the hands on the knee, recite the following Dua:

Allahumma inni asaluka khairahaa wa khaira ma fihaa wa khaira maa ursilat bih wa a'oothubika min sharrihaa wa sharri maa fihaa wa sharri maa ursilat bih

O Allah, I beg of you the good of it (the storm) and the good of what is in it and the good that it brings along with it and I seek your protection from the mischief of it (the storm) and the evil of what is in it and the evil that it brings along with it.

AND RECITE:

Allahummaj alhaa riyaahan wa laa tajalha riyhan allahummaj alhaa rahmatan wa laa tajalhaa athaaban

O Allah make it a wind that brings prosperity and goodness and do not make it one that brings devastation and destruction. O Allah make it a source of mercy and not a source of punishment.

(Al Hisnul Haseen, Pg 191)

* When braising meat, cook it at a low temperature for a long time to keep the meat tender and have it retain all the juices.

* When cooking any kind of strawberry dessert, add a splash of aged Balsamic vinegar to the recipe to enhance the flavor of the strawberries.
