HADITH/SAYINGS OF MUHAMMAD
(SALLALLAHU ALAYHI WA SALLAM)

SUNNAH SALAAH

Rasulullah (Sallallaahu Alayhi Wasallam) said: "Whoever performs 12 Rakaats of Salaat in one day excluding the Fardh Salaat, he will be granted a house in Jannah." (Sahih Muslim Hadith1691)

These 12 Rakaats have been specifically enumerated in another narration as: the 2 Rakaats before Fajr, 4 Rakaats before Dhuhr, 2 Rakaats after Dhuhr, 2 Rakaats after Maghrib and 2 Rakaats after Esha. On the day of Qiyaamat, if there be any deficiency in a person's Fardh Salaat, his Nafl Salaats will compensate for that. Therefore, utmost care should be taken in correcting and perfecting our Fardh Salaat by fulfilling all its requirements as well as by being particular of performing the Sunnah Salaat.

* The 2 Rakaat Sunnat before the Fardh of Fajr Salaat is the most emphasised Sunnah Salaat of the day…

Sayyidatuna Aaisha (Radhiallaahu Anha) reports that Rasulullah (Sallallaahu Alayhi Wasallam) said: "The 2 Rakaats before Fajr are better than the entire world and whatever it contains." (Sahih Muslim Hadith1685)

* Regarding the 4 Sunnats before Dhuhr...

Rasulullah (Sallallaahu Alayhi Wasallam) mentioned that the doors of the heavens open at that time and if one follows it up with 4 more Rakaats after the Fardh of Dhuhr Almighty Allah will protect him from Jahannum.

* 4 Rakaats before Asr Salaah...

If a person performs 4 Rakaats before Asr Salaat, he will receive a house in Jannah.
(Majmauz-Zawaaid vol.2 pg.222).

Rasulullah (Sallallaahu Alayhi Wasallam) has made a special Du'aa for the mercy of Allah Ta’aala to be showered on such a person. (Sunan Tirmidhi Hadith430; Sahih ibn Khuzaymah Hadith1193

* 2 Rakaats after Maghrib Salaah...

Makhool (Radhiyallahu Anhu) reports that Rasulullah (Sallallaahu Alayhi Wasallam) said: "If the 2 Rakaats after Maghrib are performed before speaking, it will be lifted high into the heavens." (Al-Maraaseel of Imaam Abu Dawud Hadith73)

* 2 Rakaats after Esha Salaah...

If a person performs 4 Rakaats (2 Sunnats and 2 Nafl) after Esha in the Musjid, he will receive the reward of performing these Salaats on Laylatul Qadr.

Bearing in mind the abovementioned virtues, every Musallee should endeavour to acquire these benefits by remaining steadfast on the Sunnah Salaats regarding which people are becoming increasingly lax and unmindful these days.

Doing so will acquire one the love and assistance of Almighty Allah. (Sahih Bukhari Hadith6502)

STORY

The butterfly

A man found a cocoon of a butterfly. One day a small opening appeared. He sat and watched the butterfly for several hours as it struggled to force its body through that little hole. Then it seemed to stop making any progress. It appeared as if it had gotten as far as it could, and it could go no further.

So the man decided to help the butterfly. He took a pair of scissors and snipped off the remaining bit of the cocoon. The butterfly then emerged easily. But it had a swollen body and small, shriveled wings. The man continued to watch the butterfly because he expected that, at any moment, the wings would enlarge and expand to be able to support the body, which would contract in time. Neither happened! In fact, the butterfly spent the rest of its life crawling around with a swollen body and shriveled wings. It never was able to fly.

What the man, in his kindness and haste, did not understand was that the restricting cocoon and the struggle required for the butterfly to get through the tiny opening were Allah's way of forcing fluid from the body of the butterfly into its wings so that it would be ready for flight once it achieved its freedom from the cocoon. Sometimes struggles are exactly what we need in our lives. If Allah allowed us to go through our lives without any obstacles, it would cripple us. We would not be as strong as what we could have been. We could never "fly"!

I asked for Strength......... And Allah gave me Difficulties to make me strong.
I asked for Wisdom......... And Allah gave me Problems to solve.
I asked for Prosperity......... And Allah gave me Brain and Brawn to work.
I asked for Courage......... And Allah gave me Danger to overcome.
I asked for Love.......... And Allah gave me Troubled people to help.
I asked for Favours......... And Allah gave me Opportunities.
I received nothing I wanted ........I received everything I needed!

"So blessed be Allah, the best of creators!" (Sura 23 verse 14)

* The worst thing in life is attachment...it hurts when you lose it.
The best thing in life is "Loneliness"...because it teaches you everything...and when you lose it you get everything.

* Egg broken from outside force...A life ends
Egg broken from within...A life begins
Great things always begin from within.
