Benefit Of Prayer At Mid-night

If there is something you want in life and you are not praying tahajjud for it you don't really want it." — Shaykh Yasir Qadhi

''The Dua made at tahajjud is like an arrow that does not miss its target.'' — Imaam Ash Shafi (ra)

Get up to pray in the dark when all are asleep and see how your path is lit and your life begins to shine. #Tahajjud

Many people talk about Allah but very few talk to Allah. Bring Tahajjud and Du’a into your life and talk to Him.

If there is something you want to ask Allah, start praying tahajjud.

Tahajjud time is on even 15 mins before fajr so if you are a heavy sleeper you should try waking up atleast 20 mins before fajr and offer tahajjud.

Raise your hands in dua in tahajjud + be consistent, Allah loves hearing our duas.

 Abu Hurayra (Allah be pleased with him) reports that the Messenger of Allah (blessings and peace be upon him) said,

"The best prayer after the obligatory prayers is the night prayer." [Sahih Muslim]

 Benefits of Tahajjud (The Night Prayer):

1 - Implementing the Sunnah of the Messenger of Allah (Sallallahu alayhi was sallam) which he never use to miss

2 - A way of getting your Dua's accepted

3 - A way of getting your sins forgiven

4 - By performing it, it will bring light to your face and soul

5 - It helps you fight your desires

6 - It makes you closer to Allah

7 - It builds the love of the Hereafter in your heart

8 - It softens the heart and humbles you in front of Allah

9 - It strengthens the Qur’an that you have memorised

Narrated Abu Huraira (Radiallahu anhu): Allah’s Apostle (Peace be upon him) said, “Our Lord, the Blessed, the Superior, comes every night down on the nearest Heaven to us when the last third of the night remains, saying: “Is there anyone to invoke Me, so that I may respond to invocation? Is there anyone to ask Me, so that I may grant him his request? Is there anyone seeking My forgiveness, so that I may forgive him?” (Bukhari)

The Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) said: “Whoever directs someone to a good, then he will have the reward equal to the doer of the action.” [Muslim 1893]

Islamic Legal Judgement

THE BEST IN ISLAMIC LEGAL JUDGMENT* By: Umm Affan Dhul-Qadah 10, 1437 (13-August-2016) I’ve talked about three, it’s now time to talk about the fourth companion whom the Prophet (SallaLlahu ‘Alayhi was-Salam) recommended (in a narration) that the Quran should be learnt from. Please! Join the jolly ride. His name is Mu’adh Ibn Jabal Ibn ‘Amr Ibn Khazraji Al-Ansari – one of the best student of the best teacher. He accepted Islam through Mus’ab Ibn Umayr (RadiyaLlahu ‘Anhu). He was a young, handsome, intelligent, and sharp and an eminent companion, the one who is referred to as the most knowledgeable in the matters of _Halal_ and _Haram_ over which he used to instruct people. He also studied and taught the Quran. Wherever Mu’adh went, people would refer to him for legal judgments on matters over which they differed. This earned him great respect amid people including other companions. Verily, Mu’adh was brought up in the “University” of the Prophet (SallaLlahu ‘Alayhi was-Salam) and he learnt as much as he could from him. In one of his lesson, the Prophet (SallaLlahu ‘Alayhi was-Salam) categorically told him: *“O Mu’adh! By Allah, I love you! So, I advise you to never forget to recite after every prayer: Allahuma a’inni ala dhikrika, wa shukrika, wa husni ‘ibadatika [O Allah, help me remember You, to be grateful to You, and to worship You in an excellent manner].”* [Sunan Abu Dawood] One of his greatest contributions to the _Ummah_ was that he became one of those that recorded the Quran during the lifetime of the Prophet (SallaLlahu ‘Alayhi was-Salam). I beseech Allah to be Especially Merciful to Mu’adh Ibn Jabal.

What Muslim Should Take Note On Their Sim

*📲IS BUYING AIRTIME ON CREDIT FROM PHONE OPERATORS RIB’A?* 🆘This issue is one of the modern challenges to the average Muslim.Majority of evidence based scholarly opinions on this issue are complimentary & not contradictory.This is a modest attempt to simplify & reconcile these evidences In sha Allah.Dictating what is halaal and what is haraam is the right of Allaah alone. *"And do not say about what your tongues assert of untruth, "This is lawful and this is unlawful," to invent falsehood about Allah. Indeed, those who invent falsehood about Allah will not succeed.” Q16:116*. 🎓The Prophet (sallAllaahu ‘alayhiwasallam) said: “When the judge issues a ruling, if he strives to work it out (ajtahada) and gets it right, he will have two rewards, and if he issues a ruling and strives to work it out but gets it wrong, he will have one reward.” (Agreed upon). ❓ *WHAT IS RIBA* .Riba means an increase in a particular item.The word is derived from a root meaning increase or growth. Allah says “Whatever you pay as interest so that it may increase (li yarbu) the wealth of people does not increase (fa la yarbu) in the sight of Allah” [30:39], i.e., it does not increase or rise in status before Allah. *Riba takes place when 2 parties exchange same currency/good with the same currency/good without abiding by the Islamic conditions of exchange*. So, if gold is sold for gold, Islam stipulates that the exchange should be done hand to hand and that the items or goods should be of the same quality.Whoever gives more or asks for more has engaged in riba. If he sells a saa‘ of wheat for two saa‘s (of the same commodity), even if it is hand to hand, he has engaged in riba.The same applies to lending; they give money as a loan provided that it will increase the money when they get it back. Such transactions are undoubtedly riba. *Whoever regards Riba as permissible is guilty of kufr.https://islamqa.info/en/22339*. 📟 *CALL CREDIT*. *The person who buys the call credit, buys a service to call phones at fixed rates where he pays a given amount of Dirhams or Riyals or dollars per minute, so it is permissible for the company to sell a call credit valued at 100 Dirhams, for example, for 150 Dirhams or more, and this is not interest on loan; rather,it is buying and selling on deferred payment where the extra is a fixed charge (service charge or increase in selling price on account of deferment); both of which are permitted in Islam provided the conditions are met as in this case*. 💭What should be taken into account (in contracts) is its reality and meanings not its words and constructions.This is in reality a sale & not a loan even though the network providers might have called it a loan, credit or borrowing. *It is not a loan or borrowing with interest of any sort because we do not return back to the network provider airtime with extra airtime.It also lacks the usual attributes of interest based loans e.g. collaterals, penalties for late payment etc.* ‘Aa’ishah (may Allaah be pleased with her) said: Bareerah came to me and said: “I drew up a contract of manumission with my master stating that I would pay nine waqiyaha, one waqiyah each year.” [A waqiyah is a weight of silver etc]. If the purchaser is late in paying the instalments, it is not permissible to make him pay extra, whether or not this is arranged as a prior condition, because this is a form of forbidden ribaa.Same as the air time purchased, if the buyer did not pay for the loan service (airtime credit) on time there is no increase in price, penalty etc.Tap links for proofs that it is permissible to do deferred payment (instalments) & raise the price of a product in return for deferred payment (instalments) & its sharee’ah conditions https://islamqa.info/en/13973, https://islamqa.info/en/1847. 💳It is also similar to the permissibility of an interes free covered or non-covered credit card as explained below.Buying airtime in this manner is neither exchanging MONEY FOR MONEY NOR SAME GOOD FOR SAME GOOD unlike the case of interest based NON- COVERED CREDIT CARD, where one is exchanging same thing e.g. where you use the bank’s money on your credit card when you have no money in your account (same currency/money for money) and paying extra money on it as interests. 🎓The International Islamic Fiqh Council: member of OIC (not the so called Fiqh council of North America) on non-covered credit cards (i.e., a card covered by money pre-deposited in the card account) concludes that it is not permissible to apply for or issue non-covered credit cards if interest is stipulated, even if the card applicant is determined to pay within the free period.It is only permissible to use credit cards that are free of things that are forbidden in sharee’ah, such as charging interest for late payments, or charging a percentage of the money withdrawn etc, because that comes under the heading of riba which is haraam.However, if the bank charges a set fee when issuing or renewing the card as a fee for the services offered (allowing you to use the money in the credit card), and covering only the cost of those services, there is nothing wrong with that.It is permissible to issue non-covered cards if there is no condition of paying interest on the original loan.Further details https://islamqa.info/en/97530 ❓Ruling on renting that ends with a promise of ownership, based on the first payment and other fees tap link. https://islamqa.info/en/100797 ✅ *IN CONCLUSION, BUYING AIRTIME ON CREDIT & PAYING EXTRA IS NOT RIBA* *IT’S A SET CHARGE FOR A CREDIT SERVICE RENDERED FOR A DEFERRED PAYMENT AT AN AGREED FIXED FEE* And Allah knows best.

Watermelon seeds are a rich source of nutrients and minerals and therefore, should not be discarded. These seeds have a hard outer covering so they should be chewed before swallowing to get their nutritional content. Some of the health benefits of watermelon seeds are given below. 1. Your body requires amino acids but there are some essential amino acids such as arginine and lysine which the body cannot produce on its own and these have to be provided from food sources. Watermelon seeds contain some of these essential amino acids such as tryptophan and glutamic acids. Lysine helps in calcium absorption to facilitate formation of collagen and connective tissues in the body whereas arginine improves the body’s metabolism, cardiovascular system and sexual health. 2. Watermelon seeds are good sources of magnesium with 100 grams of seeds providing 139 percent of the recommended daily requirement. Magnesium is vital for normal heart functioning, maintenance of normal blood pressure, supporting metabolic process and protein synthesis. It is also beneficial in the treatment of cardiovascular diseases and hypertension besides controlling blood pressure and diabetes. 3.

Thus, watermelon seeds are an important source of calories and energy. [ Read: Water Chestnut ] 8. Protein deficiency is quite common, leading to diseases like marasmus and kwashiorkor in poorer countries of the world. Being high in protein, watermelon seeds can be extremely beneficial in combating protein deficiencies. One cup of dried seeds provides about 30 grams of protein. Protein and its amino acids are vital for growth and repair of muscles, skin and connective tissues as well as for making enzymes. Protein is also required for the maintenance of long and strong nails. 9. Watermelon seed tea works as a natural diuretic. It can be used for kidney cleansing. Edward Cayce was the person who made this tea popular way back in the 1940s. This tea can be used to treat people coping with urinary infections and eliminate kidney stones. 10. Drinking watermelon seed tea can be quite beneficial for cardiac health. The seeds contain a good amount of magnesium. This mineral helps in stabilizing metabolic processes and ensures the normal functioning of the heart. 11.
