More on The Benefits of Bismillah

Asalam alaykum warahmatullah wabarakatuh dear readers,

While researching more on the meaning of bismillah i came across this rich information, we all say the word Bismillah but it is wisely advised we reflect on its meaning now and then and so as to the other Quranic verses we recite everyday inoder to make it come from our hearts.

1. It is narrated in Tafseere Burhaan that the Holy Prophet (s.a.w.) has said that when a person recites “Bismillah...” then five thousand ruby palaces are built for him in Jannah Each palace has a thousand chambers made of pearls and in each chamber has seventy thousand thrones of emerald and each throne has seventy thousand carpets made from special fabrics and upon each carpet is seated a Hur-ul-Ein. A person asked for the condition necessary to get this great reward and the Holy Prophet (s.a.w.) replied that the person should recite the “Bismillah…” with conviction and understanding.
   
2.  The Holy Prophet (s.a.w.) has also said that when a believer will have to cross the Pul-e-Siraat on the Day of Judgement, and he will say “Bismillah…” then the flames beneath him will start dying down until Jahannam will cry out, ‘O believer, pass through quickly, your presence is causing my fire to die out !’
   
3.  When a teacher teaches a child to recite “Bismillah..” the child, his parents and the teacher are all guaranteed freedom from hellfire. It is narrated that Prophet Isa (a.s.) was once passing by a graveyard and he saw a grave upon which the Wrath and Punishment of Allah (s.w.t.) was descending, so he quietly walked past. When he passed the same place after some time, he noticed that the Mercy and Blessings of Allah (s.w.t.) was being showered on the same grave. He was surprised at this and asked Allah (s.w.t.) about what has happened and it was revealed to him that the man inside the grave was a sinner and was thus being punished for his sins. When he died, his wife was pregnant and soon gave birth to a son. When the boy grew older, his mother took him to a teacher who taught him to recite “Bismillah…” and I felt that it would not be justice that this man’s son was calling My Name and I was punishing his father in the grave.
   
4.  It is also mentioned that recitation of “Bismillah…” with a loud voice is from the signs of a true believer. Imam Ali Ridha (a.s.) said that “Bismillah…” is very close to the chosen name of Allah (s.w.t.) [Isma A’adham].

Hadith about Charity

Asalam alaykum warahmatullah wabarakatuh dear readers,
Alhamdulillah another Friday has come while we still alive meaning we still have a chance to make thinks right (be there for someone especially our parents if they are still alive),there is a hadith that says "the judgement day will not arrive before one of you takes his charity around without finding anyone to accept it from him"


From this hadith we learn to use the present time wisely  doing good deeds as there will be no other time like this again but only to those who Allah has bestow  his mercy upon them.We see people  grow older up to 150 years but we are not certainly when our time will come,as you can see today babies who are born today pass away within minutes or not even making out safe from mama's womb.

Please reflect on the below hadith by Bukhari;

"On the authority of Adiyy ibn Hatim (may Allah be pleased with him), who said: I was with the Messenger of Allah (may the blessings and peace of Allah be upon him) and there came to him two men: one of them was complaining of penury (being very poor), while the other was complaining of brigandry (robbery). The Messenger of Allah (may the blessings and peace of Allah be upon him) said: As for brigandry, it will be but a short time before a caravan will [be able to] go out of Mecca without a guard. As for penury, the Hour (Day of Judgement) will not arrive before one of you takes his charity around without finding anyone to accept it from him. Then (1) one of you will surely stand before Allah, there being no screed between Him and him, nor an interpreter to translate for him. Then He will say to him: Did I not bring you wealth? And he will say: Yes. Then He will say: Did I not send to you a messenger? And he will say: Yes. And he will look to his right and will see nothing but Hell-fire, then he will look to his left and will see nothing but Hell-fire, so let each of you protect himself against Hell-fire, be it with even half a date - and if he finds it not, then with a kind word. (1) i.e. at the time of the Hour."

[Al-Bukhari]

And stated in the Quran surah Imran (3) verse 92;"Never will you attain the good (reward) until you spend (in the way of Allah) from that which you love.And whatever you spend-indeed ,Allah is Knowing of It"

Muslimah Official Attires

Asalam Alaykum Warahmatullah Wabarakatuh dear sister,

Well as my profile explains it all i will be posting anything sorrounding  a muslimah from clothing,parenting,gardening etc today i would like to share more on office attires i found from other bloggers who are muslim sisters as well.Why muslim sisters? because they are experiencing the same things like what to wear that will cover my whole body except my face and hands of cause we all know the first choice would be  abaya and i would opt  for it Alhamdulillah now i can't get outside of the house without putting it on,this comes gradually as your eman increases and you get to spend time with other sisters in darsas,workshops etcs but we have sisters who likes fashion or lets say appearing professionally but still wish to keep it modesty then here we are;

 Abayas can be business looking  because they are usually plain and straight up & down with no embellishments.

Note:Very tight skirts wouldn't be fitting in a muslimah   dress code  context according to sunnah and the holy Qur'an  but you can make it loose a bit.Am sorry but am guiding myself and others who would like to stay within the boundaries so am being very careful with what i post here.

You can use different head scarfs from black with white pokadots,cream,light blue like the blouse's color or brown and  any other color you may  prefer.
