This is the story of the first martyr (and martyress) in Islam. An old lady, a black lady, yet she was promised along with her family, a high place in Jan'nah.
Preparing for Ramadan involves strengthening your spiritual, physical, and mental readiness by gradually increasing daily Quran recitation, practicing sunnah fasts in Sha’ban, and establishing consistent prayer routines. To maximize the month, set specific goals, prepare healthy meal plans, and detox from distractions to focus on gratitude, repentance, and sincere intention.
The Night of Mid-Sha’ban, known in Arabic as Laylat al-Nisf min Sha’ban, is one of the greatest nights of the year. In the Islamic understanding, the night precedes the day so it falls on the night before the fifteenth day of Sha’ban. ‘Ata’ bin Yasar, who narrated hadith from the Companions, said that after Laylat al-Qadr, there is no night better than the Night of Mid-Sha’ban. Its greatness is due to the divine gifts that are bestowed during it.
It is only fitting that those who strive for self-perfection also seek the perfection of others; through this, people become a single nation, united in faith and righteousness.
Justice has one face; it is applied to all, or this is how it should be.
On the days of the Messenger, peace and blessings of Allah (SWT), an incident happened that included a woman from the Makhzumites, where people wanted to save her from punishment just because of her family.
Ibn Mas'ud (May Allah be pleased with him) reported: The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said, "A true believer is not involved in taunting, or frequently cursing (others) or in indecency or abusing." [At-Tirmidhi].
Tamīm ibn Aws al-Dārī (died 661 AD) was a companion of the Prophet Muhammad, peace and blessings be upon him, and an early convert from Christianity to Islam. In Islamic eschatology, he is known for encountering *Dajjal* during one of his journeys.
There are certain times of the year when one needs to stand firm against oneself and one's worldly desires. These times should be used to the maximum to achieve the utmost success.
The Prophet (PBUH) summoned ‘Amir and addressed him with a stern, powerful question: “Why would one of you kill his brother? Why did you not say ‘Barak Allahu Lak’ (May Allah bless you) when you saw what you liked?”
It was narrated from 'Uqbah bin 'Amr, Abu Mas’ud, that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: "Among the words that people learned from the earlier Prophets are: 'If you feel no shame, then do as you wish.’"
The Prophet Muhammad’s Farewell Sermon, delivered on the Day of Arafah during his final pilgrimage in 10 AH, sanctifies human life, honor, and property, abolishes pre-Islamic usury and blood feuds, and condemns tampering with sacred months. It outlines spousal rights with an emphasis on kindness toward women, declares believers as brothers with no one’s wealth lawful except by consent, affirms equality among humanity regardless of race or tribe except through piety, and leaves the Qur’an and Sunnah as enduring guidance.
This is an analogy struck by the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) for the seeker of the Hereafter. For verily, Satan lies in wait on his path, and the soul along with its false hopes and desires are his helpers. Thus, if he awakens during his journey and purifies his intention in his deeds, he is safe from Satan and his forces, and from the bandits of the road and their aides.
