”Learning to forgive and pardon others always brings more benefit to one’s self than it does to others. It creates an atmosphere of relaxation, tranquility and ease in your heart and you learn to get on with more important things of your life.” Al-Adab al-Shar’iyyah by Ibn Muflih al-Hanbali [vol 1, pg. 85-86]

The Way to ♥ Venerate RasoolAllah (sallAllahu alyhi wasallam) ♥ {meaning: to admire, adore, apotheosize, appreciate, be in awe of, cherish, esteem, exalt, hallow, hold in awe, honor, idolize, look up to, love, put on a pedestal, regard, respect, think highly of, treasure, value him} •► is to OBEY him, do as he commanded and avoid that which he forbade, and to love him; he is not to be venerated through innovations, myths and sins. Celebrating his birthday is of this blameworthy type because it is a SIN. The people who venerated the Prophet (sallAllahu alyhi wasallam) the most were the Sahaabah (may Allaah be pleased with them), as ‘Urwah ibn Mas’ood (radi Allahu 'anhu) said to the Quraysh: ♥ “O people, by Allaah I have visited kings. I went to Caesar, Chosroes and the Negus, but by Allaah I never saw a king whose companions venerated him as much as the companions of Muhammad venerated Muhammad (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him). By Allaah, whenever he spat it never fell on the ground, it fell into into the hand of one his companions, then they wiped their faces and skins with it. If he instructed them to do something, they would hasten to do as he commanded. When he did wudoo’, they would almost fight over his water. When he spoke they would lower their voices in his presence; and they did not stare at him out of respect for him.” ♥ (al-Bukhaari, 3/178, no. 2731, 2732; al-Fath, 5/388). Yet despite this level of veneration, they never took the day of his birth as an ‘Eid (festival). If that had been prescribed in Islam they would not have neglected to do that. THINK ABOUT IT! WHO ARE YOU FOLLOWING?
Abu Hazim Salamah b. Dinar was asked, “How will returning to Allah be like?” He replied, ❝ As for the obedient, his return is that of a loved one who was absent, so his family is eager for his return. As for the sinner, it will be like the return of a slave who ran away when he returns to his angry master.❞

It was narrated that Sa’d ibn Abi Waqqaas (may Allaah be pleased with him) said: The Prophet (SallAllahu Alyhi wasallam) said: “The prayer of Dhu’l-Noon when he was in the belly of the fish: ‘Laa ilaaha illa Anta, subhaanaka inni kuntu min al-zaalimeen (There is no god but You, glory to You, verily I was one of the wrongdoers).’ A Muslim never calls upon his Lord with these words concerning any matter, but his prayer is answered.” (Narrated by al-Tirmidhi, 3505; classed as saheeh by al-Albaani in al-Silsilah al-Saheehah, 1644)

No time / No place to pray your obligatory prayers? THINK AGAIN! Do Not lose your KEY to PARADISE in pursuit of worldly gain & enjoyment! •► PRAY 5 times on time…no matter what, no matter where !! “The (whole) earth has been made good for me, a means of purification and a musallah (or place of prayer); so wherever a man may be when the time for prayer comes, let him pray wherever he is.” (Hadeeth narrated by saheeh Muslim, no. 521) The entire earth is a suitable place to prostrate oneself; the scholars have made no exceptions except very few, such as graveyards and lavatories. Wherever a Muslim is when the time for prayer comes, he should pray: in a Masjid, if possible, or else in a hallway or park, on a sidewalk or in a parking lot, or in a corner of a store. Even if one can find no other place than a church, it is permissible to pray in it! We should not forget to point out here that Muslims living in non-Muslim countries sometimes delay or abandon their prayers for another, completely different, reason, which is that they feel too embarrassed to pray in front of the kuffaar in public or open places, or they are afraid that they will make fun of them and regard them as odd. This is a serious mistake. How can a Muslim feel embarrassed about proclaiming the truth and worshiping openly, hastening to fulfill the command of Allaah at the time when Allaah has said it is to be done? We ask Allaah to help us all to remember Him, to be grateful to Him and to worship Him properly.

It was narrated from Abu Sa’eed al-Khudri that the Prophet (sallAllahu 'alyhi wasallam) said: “There is no Muslim who calls upon Allaah with words in which there is no sin or severing of family ties but Allaah will give him one of three things: ✔either He will answer his prayer soon, or ✔He will store it up for him in the Hereafter, or ✔He will remove something bad from him that is equivalent to what he is asking for.” They said, “Then we should make a great amount of du’aa’.” He said, “Allaah is greater.” (Narrated by al-Tirmidhi, 3573; classed as saheeh by al-Tirmidhi and others)
The Quran says: "Say: Nothing will befall us; except what Allah has decreed for us." ♥..
The fire didn't burn Ibraheem, the knife
didn't slaughter Ismaaeel, the sea didn't drown Moosa and the whale
didn't eat Yunus (Alaihimussalam).

SMILE…Allah is with you!
He (tabarak wa ta’ala) says, “Indeed, Allah is with those who fear Him and those who are doers of good”. Think positively of your Lord and worship Him with utmost love and humility. Don’t overwhelm yourself with sadness and distress but find the comfort of the obedient slave of Allah. Life feels so great when you know Allah is with you! Enjoy worshiping Him, calling Him, letting Him know your pain, thanking Him for your food and health, and sharing this feeling with others.
Cheer up! Never forget to say ‘Alhamdulilah’ for everything. Regardless of what is occurring right now in your life and the hardship you are facing, Allah is with you! He sees you now; He hears you now! Look up to the sky knowing that Allah, the Creator of the Universe, knows what lies in your heart and He is there to help you! He is actually closer to you than you think!
Allah says, “And when My servants ask you, [O Muhammad], concerning Me - indeed I am near. I respond to the invocation of the supplicant when he calls upon Me.” [2:186]
