Our prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him). Blessing of the prophet a certain number of times In it you will not be hungry and naked

15:40 2018

In the name of Allah, the Gracious and Merciful!

Allah Almighty says in the Quran:

“Above all is Allah, the True King! Do not rush to read the Qur'an until the revelation has been sent down to you, and say: “Lord! Increase my knowledge."

Previously, We made a covenant with Adam, but he forgot, and We did not find a firm will in him.

So We said to the angels: “Fall down before Adam!” They fell on their faces, and only Iblis refused.

We said: “O Adam! This is the enemy of you and your wife. Let him not lead you out of Paradise, otherwise you will become unhappy.

In it you will not be hungry and naked.

In it you will not suffer from thirst and heat.”

But Satan began to whisper to him and said: “O Adam! Shall I show you the tree of eternity and everlasting power?

They both ate from it, and then their private parts became visible to them. They began to stick heavenly leaves on themselves. Adam disobeyed his Lord and fell into error.

Then the Lord chose him, accepted his repentance and guided him on the straight path.

He said: “Cast yourself down from here together, and some of you will be enemies of others. If correct guidance comes to you from Me, then whoever follows My faithful leadership, will not end up lost and unhappy.

And whoever turns away from My Reminder, a hard life awaits him, and on the Day of Resurrection We will raise him blind” (Ta Ha, 114-124).

Allah Almighty expelled Adam, Hawa and the accursed Iblis to earth, who said: "God! Grant me a respite until the day when they are resurrected."(Al-Hijr, 36).

He said: “Lord! Because You have misled me, I will embellish earthly things for them and will certainly seduce them all except Your chosen (or sincere) slaves” (Al-Hijr, 39-40).

Since then, Allah has chosen messengers and prophets (Peace be upon them) from among the pious people and sent down the Scriptures to them so that people could follow the straight path and protect themselves from the machinations of the damned Iblis. As with every thing in this worldly life, Allah has set a deadline for the worldly life itself, which will end and the Day of Judgment will come. And before this Day of Judgment, Allah sent the last Prophet and Messenger - Muhammad ﷺ, to whom He sent down through Jibril, peace be upon him, holy quran. The mission of all messengers and prophets was to call people to worship Allah alone and shun taghut (false deities). After all, only in this way can a person achieve happiness in this world and return to the original abode - Paradise! For those who rejected the mercy of the Lord and followed the path of the accursed Iblis, Allah has prepared Hell.

The Messenger of Allah Muhammad ﷺ said: “I was sent with a sword before the Day of Judgment so that everyone would worship Allah alone, Who has no partner. And food was given to me under the shadow of the spear” (Ahmad. T. 9. P. 126). Al-‘Iraqi in “Tahrij ihya ‘ulumi-d-din” (Vol. 2. P. 352) said that the hadith is authentic. Al-Albani in Sahihu al-Jami' (No. 5142) also confirmed the authenticity of the hadith.

What kind of sword is this? Why did the Messenger ﷺ come with a sword? And did he come right away with a sword? No! He ﷺ ​​for more than 13 years in Mecca called on people to leave their idols and worship Allah alone. What did they do in response? They plotted against him, tried to kill and expel him, called him a sorcerer and a poet, although he was the most truthful among them. Allah sent him as a mercy for the worlds, so that people would come out of error and return to the straight path. But the polytheists of Mecca persisted in their errors and did not want to return to the straight path, except for those whom Allah nevertheless guided by His mercy. They took up arms against the Muslims and began to persecute and kill them, and then Allah allowed the Muslims to defend themselves. Muslims gathered strength and opposed the polytheists. Why? Because people's worship was dedicated to idols. People died in this situation, achieving nothing but eternal Hell. Don't people deserve to know the truth and be saved? They deserved it, even if some of them could not understand and accept it initially. So it is today, here in Syria and all over the world, where Muslims are being killed and persecuted.

We have taken up arms and are defending our religion and the right to worship Allah Alone, we are defending our beliefs, ourselves and our brothers and sisters in faith! “If Allah had not restrained some people through others, the earth would have fallen into disorder. However, Allah is merciful to the worlds” (Al-Baraka, 251). Ask us: what do you want? We will answer that we want to fight against those who came to kill us, because “It is permissible for those who are fought against to fight because they were treated unfairly. Indeed, Allah is able to help them” (Al-Anfal, 39). We want the worship to belong to the One who created all people, who gave us all hearing, sight and organs. We want people to judge among themselves by what the Lord sent down as mercy for the worlds; we do not want this mercy to be rejected and for the court to be based on democracy, monarchy, totalitarianism and other systems invented by people. We do not want some people to consider other people as masters and to worship anyone other than Allah, because this is the way of Iblis, this is what Iblis seeks. Ask yourself why all the unbelievers have come to all our lands and are killing us just because we say: our Lord is Allah. What would happen if we did not fight, but simply endured? They would wipe their feet on us, and error would prevail over the truth! So we try to follow the path of Muhammad ﷺ because Muhammad ﷺ was the best of men and the path of Muhammad ﷺ is the best path and we will not be saved except by following his path. Allah said about Muhammad ﷺ: "Truly, your character is excellent"(Al-Kalam, 4).

Say: “O People of the Book! Let us come to a single word for us and for you, that we will not worship anyone except Allah, we will not associate any partners with Him and we will not consider each other lords along with Allah.” If they turn away, then say: “Bear witness that we are Muslims.” (Ali ‘Imran, 64)

And peace to the prophets, and praise to Allah, the Lord of the worlds!

Repeat the expression often:

لا حول ولا قوة الا بالله العلي العظيم

« La havla wa la quwvata illya billahi l-"alliyi l-"azim »

Translation: " There is no power to leave the bad, sinful and turn to the good, and there is no power to worship Allah, adhere to the good, except from Allah, the Most High, the Great».

Asad ibn Wadaa narrates from the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him):

« Whoever says “La hawla wa la quwwata illa billahi l-alliyi l-azim” a hundred times every day will never suffer poverty " (Ibn Abi ad-Dunya)

Abu Hurayrah (may Allah be pleased with him) also reported that the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said:

« The one to whom Allah has given good, let him often praise Allah (Al-hamdu li-Llah), the one who has many sins, let him ask for forgiveness more often (Astaghfiru Allah), and the one whose food Allah has withheld, let him say “La” more often. hawla wa la quwwata illya billah" - "There is no strength and power in anyone except Allah " (Tabarani, Al-Awsat)

A person often faces many tasks, difficulties and problems. Throughout his life, he is overtaken by numerous troubles, illnesses and illnesses. When a Muslim has problems, difficulties, questions, he turns to his faith, the mercy of which provides him with various ways to solve problems.

A pious Muslim patiently faces all the vicissitudes of life and, in any situation, is ready to trust Allah Almighty in all his affairs, for in everything there is good for the Muslim. If he receives grace, he praises the Almighty for it and receives a reward for it. The same thing happens if difficulties and problems befall him - he patiently endures them and receives a reward for this.

But at the same time, Allah Almighty does not forbid us to ask Him to ease our situation and get rid of certain ailments. One of the best ways to save ourselves from illnesses and diseases is to read various duas and prayers that save us from difficulties arising due to these ailments.

Numerous hadiths transmitted from the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) report on the virtues of prayer “ ».

- the gates of Heaven;

It was reported from Muaz ibn Jabal that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said to him:

ألا أدلك على باب من أبواب الجنة قال: وما هو؟ قال: لا حول ولا قوة إلا بالله

« Shall I point you to the gates of Paradise? " He asked: " What kind of gate is this? "The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: " La havla wa la quwwata illya bi-Llyah » – « There is no power to leave the bad, sinful and turn to the good, and there is no power to worship Allah, adhere to the good, except from Allah Almighty" (Tabarani)

- treasure from the treasuries of Paradise;

Abu Musa (may Allah be pleased with him) reported that the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said to him:

قل: لا حول ولا قوة إلا بالله فإنها كنز من كنوز الجنة

« Say: “La hawla wa la quwwata illa bi-Llah” - verily, this is a treasure from the treasuries of Paradise " (Bukhari, Muslim)

- healing from ninety-nine diseases;

Abu Hurayrah (may Allah be pleased with him) reported that the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said:

مَنْ قَالَ لا حَوْلَ وَلا قُوَّةَ إِلاَّ بِاللهِ كَانَتْ دَوَاءٌ مِنْ تِسْعَةٍ وَتِسْعِينَ دَاءٍأَيْسَرُهَا الْهَمُّ

« Whoever says “La hawla wa la quwwata illa bi-llah” will receive healing from ninety-nine ailments, the smallest of which is restlessness and anxiety " (Tabarani, Hakim)

- preserves benefits;

Also in the hadith, which is transmitted from Uqbat ibn Amir (may Allah be pleased with him), it is reported that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said:

من أنعم الله عليه نعمة فأراد بقاءها فليكثر من قول لا حول ولا قوة إلا بالله

« If a person to whom Allah Almighty has given blessings wants to preserve them, let him repeatedly say: “La hawla wa la quwwata illya bi-Llah " (Tabarani)

- Paradise seedlings

Abu Ayyub Al-Ansari (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates:

أن رسول الله –صلى الله عليه وسلم ليلة أسري به مر على إبراهيم عليه السلام فقال: من معك يا جبريل؟ قال: هذا محمد فقال له إبراهيم عليه السلام: يا محمد, مُرْ أمتك فليكثروا من غراس الجنة فإن تربتها طيبة وأرضها واسعة قال: وما غراس الجنة قال: لا حول ولا قوة إلا بالله

“When the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) met with Prophet Ibrahim (peace be upon him) on the night of the transfer, he asked: “ Who is with you, O Jibril? " He replied: " This is Muhamamad " Then Ibrahim (peace be upon him) said: “ O Muhammad, command your community to sow more of the gifts of Paradise, since the land of Paradise is blessed, wide and generous " Then the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) asked: “ What are these seedlings of Paradise? "Prophet Ibrahim (peace be upon him) replied: " La havla wa la quwwata illya bi-Llyah ». ( Ibn Hibban)

In the name of Allah, the Gracious, the Merciful

Praise be to Allah, the Lord of the worlds, peace and blessings of Allah be upon our prophet Muhammad, members of his family and all his companions!

Destiny is only from Allah, and people only create reasons
Allah Almighty said: “In heaven is your destiny and what is promised to you. I swear by the Lord of heaven and earth that this is true, just as you have the gift of speech!”

(az-Zariyat 51: 22-23).

“Say: “Who gives you provision from heaven and earth? Who has power over hearing and sight? Who turns the dead into the living, and the living into the dead? Who runs things? They will say: “Allah.” Say: “Will you not be afraid?” (Yunus 10:31). Allah Almighty also said:“Do not kill your children for fear of poverty, for We provide food for them with you.”

(al-Isra 17:31).

Allah Almighty also said: “It is they (the hypocrites) who say: “Do not spend on those who are near the Messenger of Allah until they leave him.” But to Allah belongs the treasures of the heavens and the earth, but the hypocrites do not understand this” (al-Munafiqun 63: 7).

Allah Almighty also said: (Hud 11:6). “Verily, each of you is formed in the womb of his mother for forty days in the form of a drop of semen, then he remains there for the same amount of time in the form of a blood clot and for the same period in the form of a piece of flesh. And then an angel is sent to him, who blows the spirit into him, and is ordered to write down four things: the destiny of a person, the duration of his life, his deeds, and also whether he will be happy or unhappy.” . al-Bukhari 3208, Muslim 2643.

Also, the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: “Allah completed four things for the son of Adam: his appearance, character, destiny and term.” . at-Tabarani in “al-Ausat” 1560, al-Quda’i in “al-Musnad” 601. The hadith is reliable. See Sahih al-Jami' 4200.

No one will die until they receive their lot in full
According to Abu Umama (may Allah be pleased with him), it is reported that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: “Verily, the Holy Spirit (angel Jibril) inspired me that a person will not die until his time comes and until he has exhausted his destiny. So fear Allah, and strive for your destiny in the best possible way. And let the delay in obtaining inheritance in no case encourage you to achieve it by disobeying Allah, for, verily, you can receive what Allah has only by showing obedience to Him.” . Abu Nu'aym in al-Hilya 10/27, al-Quuda'i in al-Musnad 1151. The hadith is authentic. See Sahih al-Jami' 2085.

According to Jabir, Abu ad-Darda and Abu Sa'id (may Allah be pleased with them), it is reported that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: “If the son of Adam tried to run away from his destiny just as he runs from death, then his destiny would overtake him just as death would overtake him.” . Abu Nu'aim in al-Hilya 7/90, al-Bayhaqi in Shu'ab al-iman 1192, at-Tabarani in al-Ausat 1/135. Hadith is good. See Sahih al-Jami' 5240.

It is reported that ‘Ali ibn Abi Talib (may Allah be pleased with him) said: “There are two types of inheritance: the inheritance that you demand, and the inheritance that demands you, and if you do not come for it, it itself comes to you.”. Ibn ‘Abd Rabbih in “al-‘Iqd al-farid” 3/169.

You should complain about your need and turn first of all only to Allah
Ibn ‘Abbas (may Allah be pleased with him) said: “Once, when I was sitting on horseback behind the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him), he said to me: “O boy, shall I teach you some words by which Allah will benefit you?” I said, “Of course.” Then he said: “Remember Allah and He will protect you; remember Allah and you will find Him before you. Remember Allah in prosperity, and He will recognize you in trouble. If you want to ask for anything, then ask Allah; if you want to seek help, turn to Allah for it. And know that the feathers have already been lifted (from the stored Tablet) and the pages have dried, and therefore, if all people come together to do something useful for you, they will benefit you only in what has been ordained for you by Allah. And if they come together to harm you, they will harm you only in that which has been ordained for you by Allah. And know that what passed you by could not befall you, and what befell you could not bypass you. And truly, victory comes with patience, joy with adversity, and with difficulty comes relief.". Ahmad 1/293, 303, 307, at-Tirmidhi 2516, al-Hakim 3/531-532, Abu Ya'la 2556, Ibn Abi 'Asim 316, at-Tabarani in "al-Kabir" 2/134, etc. The authenticity of this hadith was confirmed by such imams as: Ibn Rajab, Ibn Hajar, al-Sakhawi, al-'Ajluni, Ahmad Shakir, al-Albani, Ibn Baz, Muqbil ibn Hadi. See “Nur al-iqtibas” 18, “Jami’ul-’ulumi wal-hikam” 344, “Muafak’a al-khubr al-khabar” 328, “Maqasid al-hasana” 188, “Kashf al-hafa” 1/ 366, “Subulu-Ssalaam” 4/267, “Tahrij al-Musnad” 2804, “Tahrij Kitab al-Sunnah” 137-139, “al-Sahih al-Musnad” 699.

“Whoever is in need and turns to people to get rid of it, they will not help get rid of it. And whoever is in need and turns to Allah with it, He will certainly send him his provision sooner or later.” . Ahmad 1/442, at-Tirmidhi 2326, Abu Daud 1645, al-Hakim 1/408. Imams at-Tirmidhi, al-Baghawi, al-Zahabi, Ahmad Shakir, al-Albani confirmed the authenticity of the hadith. See “Sharkhsu-Ssunna” 7/329, “Tahrij al-Musnad” 4219, “al-Silsilya al-sahiha” 2787.

Ibrahim an-Naha'i said: “Truly, the rich will not give you as much as you need to get rid of want, but they will give you as much as will be enough to disgrace you.”. al-Khattabi in “al-‘Uzla” 180.

Imam Abu Sulayman al-Khattabi said: “Once al-Khuzaimi read me a verse:
Do not ask the sons of Adam for anything,
ask Him, the One whose door you will always find open.
Allah is angry when you do not ask Him,
but ask a man, and you will anger him.”. See al-‘Uzla 180.

On the need to earn one's lot in a permitted manner
“The time will come for people when a person will no longer care whether the property he acquires is permitted or prohibited.” . al-Bukhari 2059.

From the words of Jabir (may Allah be pleased with him) it is reported that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: “Oh people! Fear Allah and strive for your destiny in the best possible way, because truly, not a single soul will die until it receives its destiny in full, even if there is a delay. Fear Allah and strive for your destiny in the best way, acquire what is permitted and avoid what is forbidden!” Ibn Majah 2144, Ibn Hibban 3239, al-Hakim 2/14. The hadith is authentic. See Sahih al-Jami' 7323.

According to ‘Amra bint al-Harith (may Allah be pleased with her), it is reported that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: “Truly, this world is sweet and green, and whoever receives from it something of what is permitted will have grace in it. But how many of those who go beyond what is permitted in the wealth of Allah and His Messenger will receive the Fire on the Day of Resurrection?!” at-Tabarani in “al-Kabir” 24/340. The hadith is authentic. See Sahih al-Jami' 1608.

After all, if a person obtains his inheritance in a forbidden way, then this property will result in punishment for him. And that is why the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) often resorted to Allah for protection from property that would result in punishment. According to Ibn ‘Abbas (may Allah be pleased with him), it is reported that the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) often addressed Allah with the following prayer: “O Allah, verily, I resort to You for protection from a bad neighbor; and a wife, from whom I will turn gray before my time; from the child who will command me; from property that will become torment for me, from an insidious friend whose eye sees me, but whose heart lies in wait: if he sees something good in me, he hides it, and if he sees something bad in me, he tells it.” . at-Tabarani in “ad-Du’a” 3/1425. The hadith is authentic. See “as-Silsila as-sahiha” 3137.

اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَعُوذُ بِكَ مِنْ جاَرِالسُّوءِ، وَ مِنْ زَوْجٍ تُشَيِّبُنِي قَبْلَ الْمَشِيبِ، وَمِنْ وَلَدٍ يَكُونُ عَلَيَّ رَبًّا، وَمِنْ مَالٍ يَكُونُ عَلَيَّ عَذَابًا، وَمِنْ خَلِيلٍ مَاكِرٍ عَيْنُهُ تَرَانِي، وَقَلْبُهُ يَرْعَانِي إِنْ رَأَى حَسَنَةً دَفَنَهَا، وَإِذَا رَأَى سَيِّئَةً أَذَاعَهَا

/Allahumma inni a'uzubika min jari ssu-i, ua min zaudzhin tushayibuni kablal-mashib, ua min ualyadin yakunu 'alaiya Rabban, ua min malin yakunu 'alaiya 'azaban, wa min khaalilin makirin 'ainuhu tarani wa kalbuhu yar'ani in ra-a hasanatan dafanaha, ua isa ra-a sayiatan aza'aha/.

Moreover, if a person repents for forbidden property, then even when getting rid of it, he cannot have the intention of committing sadaqa! According to Abu Hurayrah (may Allah be pleased with him), it is reported that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: “Whoever accumulates forbidden property and gives it away as alms (sadaqa) will not receive any reward for it, and will also bear the burden of sin for it.” . Ibn Khuzaima 4/110, Ibn Hibban 3367. The hadith is good. See “Sahih at-targib” No. 752, “Tahkyk Jami’ al-‘ulum” 1/264.

According to Ibn Mas'ud, Abu Barza al-Aslami and Mu'az ibn Jabal (may Allah be pleased with them), it is reported that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: “On the Day of Judgment, the feet of the servant of Allah will not move until he is asked about five things: About his life, how he spent it; about his youth, how he used it; about his property, how he acquired it and what he spent it on; and what he did from what he knew" . at-Tirmidhi 2416, 2417, Abu Ya'la 2/254, al-Bayhaqi 2/286. The authenticity of the hadith was confirmed by Imam at-Tirmizi, Hafiz al-Munziri and Sheikh al-Albani. See “al-Silsilya al-sahiha” 946.

The abundance of provision is not an indicator of the manifestation of Allah's love for a slave
Allah Almighty said: “Do they really think that We support them with wealth and sons because we are in a hurry to bestow them with benefits? Oh no! However, they don’t feel it!”

(al-Mu'minun 23: 55-56).

Allah Almighty also said: “We have already sent messengers to the nations before you. We subjected these peoples to poverty and disease so that they would become humble. Why, when Our punishment struck them, did they not become humble? Their hearts became hardened, and Satan embellished for them what they did. When they forgot what they were reminded of, We opened the gates of all temptations before them. When they rejoiced in what was given to them, We seized them suddenly, and they fell into despair!”

(al-An'am 6:44). “If Allah gave a slave what he desired in this worldly life, despite his sins, then truly, this is a trap (deception) for him!” , - after which he read the following verse: “And when they forgot what they were reminded, We opened the gates of all temptations before them. When they rejoiced in what was given to them, We seized them suddenly, and they fell into despair” (al-An’am 6: 44). Ahmad 4/145, at-Tabarani in “al-Ausat” 9426. Hafiz al-‘Iraqi, al-Suyuty and Sheikh al-Albani confirmed the authenticity of the hadith. See “Faydul-Qadir” 629, “as-Silsilya as-sahiha” 414.

According to Ibn Mas'ud (may Allah be pleased with him), it is reported that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: “Verily, Allah Almighty has distributed your character among you, just as He has distributed your inheritance among you. And truly, Allah Almighty grants this peace to those whom He loves and to those whom He does not love. However, He does not give religion to anyone except the one He loves! Ahmad 1/387, al-Bazzar 2026, Abu Nu'aym in al-Hilya 4/166. Imam al-Dhahabi, Sheikh Ahmad Shakir and Sheikh al-Albani confirmed the authenticity of the hadith. See “Umdatu-tafsir” 1/323, “as-Silsila as-sahiha” 2714.

About the great wisdom of Allah in distributing inheritance among His slaves
Allah Almighty said: “Are they the ones distributing the mercy of your Lord? We distributed among them their means of subsistence in worldly life and raised some of them above others in degrees, so that some of them would take others into their service. And the mercy of your Lord is better than what they collect” (al-Zukhruf 43:32).

Allah Almighty also said: “Allah has elevated some of you above others through wealth and inheritance. But those who have been given a greater inheritance do not want to give it to their slaves, lest they become equal to them” (an-Nakhl 16: 71).

Allah Almighty also said: “If Allah had increased the provision of His slaves, they would have committed outrages on earth. However, He sends it down in measure as He wills. Verily, He knows about His servants and sees them” (ash-Shura 42: 27).

Abu Hani al-Khaylani said: “I heard ‘Amr ibn Harith and others regarding this verse:“If Allah had increased the provision of His slaves, they would have committed outrages on the earth.”, They said: “This verse was revealed regarding some poor people who lived under a shelter. The reason for this was that they said: “If only we had wealth,” and began to thirst after this world.”. Ibn al-Mubarak in “al-Zuhd” 554, Abu Nu’aym in “al-Hilya” 1/338. The authenticity of the isnad was confirmed by as-Suyuty.

Hafiz Ibn Kathir said regarding this verse: “If Allah Almighty were to grant people an inheritance that exceeds their needs, this would encourage them to commit sins and oppress each other, and would cause them to become arrogant and discontented. Qatada said: “It was said: “The best destiny is the one that does not spoil you and does not carry you away”!” However, Allah sends provision, choosing the amount required for righteousness, and He knows best about it. He gives wealth to those who deserve it and makes poor those who deserve it. And in the hadith of al-Qudsi it is reported: “Truly, from among My servants there are those who can only be in abundance, and if I make them needy, it will spoil their religion. And among My servants there are those who can only be in need, and if I enrich them, it will spoil their religion!” See “Tafsir Ibn Kathir” 4/374.

As for the hadith mentioned by Hafiz Ibn Kathir, it is weak. See ad-Da'ifa 1775.
However, despite this, its meaning is correct. Sheikhul-Islam Ibn Taymiyyah said: “It may be that for some people want is better than wealth, while for others wealth is better than want. The same is true with health, because for some, having health is better than illness.”. See “Majmu'ul-Fataawa” 11/120.

Relying on Allah for proper provision
Allah Almighty said: “Whoever fears Allah, He creates a way out of the situation and gives him a destiny from where he does not even imagine. For whoever trusts in Allah, He is sufficient” (at-Talaq 65: 2-3).

‘Umar ibn al-Khattab (may Allah be pleased with him) said: “I heard the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) say: “If you trusted in Allah properly, He would certainly send you food just as He sends it to the birds that fly away in the morning with empty bellies and return to end of the day with full". Ahmad 1/30, at-Tirmidhi 2344, Ibn Majah 4164, authentic hadith. See “al-Silsila al-sahiha” 310.

Imam al-Munawi said: “Verily, the abundance of a person’s provision will be equal to the number of his family members and children, and help is sent in accordance with the required food. And the one who married with an intention related to the eternal world, wanting to increase the size of the community, and not just satisfy his needs and passions, Allah will send him a destiny from which he did not expect.”. See “Faydul-Qadir” 3/241.

The need to create permissible reasons for receiving inheritance
Allah Almighty said: “O you who believe! Do not devour your property among yourselves unlawfully, but only through trade by mutual consent” (an-Nisa 4: 29).

Allah Almighty also said: “We did not send messengers before you who did not eat or go to the markets.”(al-Furqan 25: 20).

From Anas (may Allah be pleased with him) it is reported that one day a man came to the prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) and said: “O Messenger of Allah, should I tie the camel and trust in Allah, or should I untie it and trust?” The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) replied: “Bind and trust!” at-Tirmidhi 2517. Sheikh al-Albani called the hadith good.

Ibn ‘Abbas (may Allah be pleased with him) said: “One day, the people of Yemen, going to Hajj, did not take supplies with them, saying: “We are those who trust in Allah.” And when they arrived in Mecca, they began to ask people for help. And then Allah Almighty revealed the verse: “Take provisions with you, but the best provision is fear of God.”(al-Baqarah 2: 197).” al-Bukhari 1523.

From the words of az-Zubayr ibn al-‘Awuam (may Allah be pleased with him) it is reported that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: “Truly, for any of you to take his rope, and then go to the mountains, bring a bundle of firewood on his back and sell it, thanks to which Allah will save him from want, it will be better than making requests to people who can give him something , or they may refuse" . al-Bukhari 1471, 2373.

Mu'awiyah ibn Qurra said: “One day ‘Umar ibn al-Khattab (may Allah be pleased with him) met people from Yemen and asked them: “Who are you?” They replied: “We are those who trust in Allah.” After which ‘Umar said: “On the contrary, you are people who eat food! After all, the one who trusts first sows seeds in the ground, and then trusts in Allah.”. Ibn Abi ad-Dunya in “Tauakkul ‘ala-Allah” 10.

On the need to avoid extremes in the pursuit of worldly things
Allah Almighty said: “The passion for increase will distract you until you visit the graves.”(at-Takasur 102: 1-2).

According to Salman al-Farisi (may Allah be pleased with him), it is reported that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: “Do not be the first to enter the market, nor the last to leave, for there the devil lays his eggs and hatches his chicks.” . al-Humaidi in “al-Jam’ Bayna al-Sahihein” 3/361, at-Tabarani in “al-Kabir” 6/248. Imam al-Qurtubi and Imam al-Nawawi confirmed the authenticity of the hadith. See “Tafsir al-Qurtubi” 13/301, “Riyadh al-Salihin” 1850.
The same hadith is cited by Imam Muslim (2451), only as the words of Salman al-Farisi himself.

From the words of ‘Amr ibn Taghlab (may Allah be pleased with him) it is reported that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: “Verily, among the signs of the Hour of Judgment is that wealth will increase, ignorance will increase, unrest will become more frequent and trade will spread.” . at-Tayalisi 1171, al-Hakim 2/7. Sheikh al-Albani and Sheikh Muqbil ibn Hadi called the hadith authentic. See “as-Silsila as-sahiha” 2767, “as-Sahih al-musnad” 1005.

From the words of ‘Abdullah ibn ‘Amr (may Allah be pleased with him) it is reported that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: “The righteousness of the first generations of this community was due to their asceticism and conviction, and the death of the last of its number will be due to greed and high hopes.” . Ahmad in “az-Zuhd” 10, Ibn Abi ad-Dunya in “al-Yaqin” 3, ad-Dailami in “al-Firdaus” 6853. The hadith is good. See Sahih al-Jami' 3845.

Imam al-Munawi said: “The meaning of the hadith is that at the end of time, greed and empty hopes will prevail and cause destruction due to the accumulation of wealth and the love of it. After all, excessive love of property leads to unrest, war, murder and the like. At-Tibi said: “In the hadith under "conviction" we're talking about about the conviction that Allah is the source of provision, who distributes provision, as stated in the Koran: “There is not a single living creature on earth that Allah does not provide food for”(Hud 11:6). And the one who is convinced of this will not be stingy, but the greedy one holds on to his property and has high hopes precisely because of the lack of conviction.”. See “Faydul-Qadir” 4/301.

According to Ibn Mas'ud, Ibn 'Abbas and Anas (may Allah be pleased with them), it is reported that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: “Two insatiable people will never be satisfied: the seeker of knowledge and the seeker of worldly things.” . al-Hakim 1/91, al-Bazzar 4880, at-Tabarani in “al-Kabir” 10388. Imams al-Zurqani, al-‘Ajluni and al-Saffarini, al-Albani and Muqbil confirmed the authenticity of the hadith. See “Mukhtasar al-Maqasid” 1103, “Kashf al-Khufa” 2/380, “Sharh kitab al-Shihab” 450, “Sahih al-Jami’” 6624, “al-Sahih al-musnad” 51.

Qatada said: “It was said: “The best destiny is the one that does not spoil you and does not carry you away.” See “ad-Durrul-mansur” 13/158.

True wealth is the wealth of the soul
According to Abu Hurayrah (may Allah be pleased with him), it is reported that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: “Man’s wealth does not consist in an abundance of worldly goods. True wealth is the wealth of the soul." . al-Bukhari 6446, Muslim 1051.

Also from the words of Abu Hurayrah (may Allah be pleased with him) it is reported that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: “Prophet Musa asked Allah: “Which of Your slaves is the richest?” Allah replied:“He who is content with what is given to him.” Musa asked: “Which of Your servants is the poorest?” Allah replied:“The one for whom it’s never enough”. After this, the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said: “True wealth is not its external manifestation, but true wealth is the wealth of the soul. And if Allah desires good for His servant, He places wealth in his soul and fear of God in his heart. If Allah wishes His servant harm, then He places his poverty between his eyes!” Ibn Hibban 6217, al-Kharait in “Makarim al-Ahlyak” 1/274, ad-Dailami in “al-Firdaus” 1/92. The isnad of the hadith is good. See “al-Silsila al-sahiha” 3350.

The true abode is the abode of the eternal world
Allah Almighty said: “Give them a parable about worldly life. She is like the water that We sent down from the sky and thanks to which the plants of the earth intertwined with each other. And then they turn into dry blades of grass, scattered by the wind. Verily, Allah is capable of every thing. Wealth and sons are the adornment of this worldly life, but righteous deeds are better in reward before your Lord, and it is better to place your hopes in them” (al-Kahf 18: 45-46).

Allah Almighty also said: “The love of pleasures given by women, sons, accumulated kintars of gold and silver, beautiful horses, cattle and fields is embellished for people. Such is the transitory pleasure of this worldly life, but with Allah there is a better place of return” (Ali ‘Imran 3:14).

The Almighty also said: “This worldly life is just a game and fun, and the Last Abode is real life. If only they knew!

(al-‘Ankabut 29: 64). According to Anas (may Allah be pleased with him), it is reported that once the prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) exclaimed while digging a Ditch: “O Allah, there is no life except life in the next world!”

al-Bukhari 2834, Muslim 1805. According to Abu Hurayrah (may Allah be pleased with him), it is reported that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: “This world is a prison for the believer and Paradise for the infidel”

. Muslim 2956. “O Dahhak, what do you eat?” He replied: “O Messenger of Allah, meat and milk”. The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: “And then what does all this turn into?” Dahhak replied: “What you know”. Then the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: “Verily, Allah compared this light with that which comes out of the son of Adam.” . Ahmad 3/452, at-Tabarani in al-Kabir 8138, al-Bayhaqi in al-Shu'ab 5653. Hafiz Ibn Kathir, Imam Ibn Hajar al-Haytami, Sheikh al-Albani confirmed the authenticity of the hadith. See “Jami’ al-masanid” 5393, “al-Zawajir” 2/35, “Sahih at-targhib” 2151.

Imam al-Munawi said about this hadith: “Says al-Zamakhshari: “The meaning of the hadith is that despite the fact that a person shows grace and diligence in well cooked food and its improvement, it will still eventually turn into something that is disgusted. Also, this world, in the arrangement of which people make great efforts, putting it in order, will end its existence in collapse.” Ad-Dailami said: “This is a comparison of the worldly with urine and feces. After all, the food that comes out of a person previously had a color, a pleasant taste, and also a sweet drink, but all this turned into what you know about. This world is also green and sweet, to which souls tend. But those who are ignorant of the outcome of this world are inclined towards its beauties, believing that this world is eternal, or believing that he himself will live forever.”. See “Fayd al-Qadir” 2/278.

Imam Ibn al-Qayim said: “Verily, Allah compared food and what it turns into with this world. After all, despite the care taken when preparing food, seasoning and salting, look at what it turns into. No one was deceived by this world and did not want to live in it forever, except the owner of a bad aspiration, a despicable mind and a low position! See “Tariq al-hijratain” 382.

Anas ibn Malik (may Allah be pleased with him) reported that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: “On the Day of Resurrection they will bring the one who lived in the greatest luxury in this world, who was from among those who deserved Hell. When he is immersed in the fire for the first time, he will be asked: “O son of Adam, have you ever seen good or experienced bliss?” To which he will answer: “No, I swear by Allah, O Lord!” And they will bring someone who has experienced the most terrible calamities in this world, having received Paradise as a reward, and he will be introduced into Paradise, and then they will ask: “O son of Adam, have you ever known grief and have you ever experienced need?” To which he will answer: “No, I swear by Allah, I have never known grief and have never experienced need!” Muslim 2707.

Obtaining inheritance will be made easier for those who strive for eternal peace
From the words of Zayd ibn Thabit (may Allah be pleased with him) it is reported that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: “He whose main intention is this world, Allah will divide his affairs and place his poverty right between his eyes, and he will not receive anything from the world except what is prescribed for him. And the one whose intention was the other world, Allah will gather his affairs together, place his wealth in his heart, and this world will come to him on his own, against his will.” . Ahmad 5/183, Ibn Majah 4105, Ibn Hibban 72. The authenticity of the hadith was confirmed by the imams: Ibn ‘Abdul-Barr, al-Munziri, ad-Dumyati, al-‘Iraqi, al-Busyri, Ibn Muflih, al-Albani, Muqbil. See “at-Tamhid” 21/276, “Tahrij al-ihya” 4/271, “al-Adab al-shar’iya” 3/263, “Sahih at-targhib” 90, “al-Musnad al-Sahih " 358.

Imam al-Sindi said: “What is prescribed for the servant of Allah from his inheritance will inevitably go to him. However, the one who wanted eternal peace will receive his lot without much effort, while the one who wanted the world will get his lot with difficulty and complexity. And whoever desires another world, for this purpose this world and the next will be gathered together.”. See “Hashiya ‘ala Ibn Majah” 4/424.

Sheikh Muhammad al-Mubarakfuri regarding the words: "will make his wealth in his heart" , said: "Those. Allah will make him unpretentious, satisfied, so that he does not bother wanting more.”. About the words: "will bring his affairs together" , said: "Those. his scattered affairs, will make his desires collected and prepare their reasons so that he will not even notice it.”. About the words: "will put his poverty right between his eyes" , said: “The need for creations is like one who has fallen into the most difficult situation”. See “Tuhfatul-Ahuazi” 6/339.

O Allah, grant and facilitate for us the permitted lot in this world, which will not become a punishment for us! And lead us, O Allah, into Your vast Paradise by Your great and boundless mercy!

And in conclusion, praise be to Allah, the Lord of the worlds!

Question:

How were the weddings of the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him)?

Tell us in more detail how he concluded the marriage contract, held the wedding dinner, and what he gave as mahr.

Answer:

Praise be to Allah

The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) called for relief in matters of marriage, for the announcement and publication of the wedding, for the expression of joy and happiness on this occasion; for holding a wedding dinner (valima) and inviting guests. He (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) called for those invited to come to the wedding, and even if a person is fasting, he should come and offer dua for the host of the holiday, but he does not have to eat.

He (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) also called for a kind attitude towards the wife and for the husband’s diligence in achieving this.

We have listed the instructions in general, but now we will discuss them in more detail:

1. Available terry

Al-Bayhaqi (14721) reported that the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said: “The best mahr is the simplest (or most accessible).”

Abu Dawud (2117) reported that the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said: “The best marriage is the one that is easier to enter into.” Sheikh al-Albani called the hadith authentic.

It is said in Aun al-Mabud: “This means a marriage that is easy for a man in the matter of mahr and other matters.” Al-Alama ash-Shaykh al-Aziz said: “This means with the lowest mahr and the fastest acceptance of the proposal.”

Ahmad (23957) and Ibn Majah (4095) narrated from Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: “Blessed indeed is the woman whose betrothal was easy, whose mahr was small , and who quickly becomes pregnant.” Sheikh al-Albani called the hadith good, Sahih al-Jami, 2235.

At-Tirmidhi (1114) reported that Umar ibn al-Khattab (may Allah be pleased with him) said: “Do not increase the ransom for women. If the ransom were blessed in this life and piety in the hereafter, then the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) would have preceded you in this and would have given you appropriate instructions. The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) did not pay for his wives, and did not take more than twelve ounces in ransom for his daughters.” Sheikh al-Albani declared the hadith authentic in Sahih at-Tirmidhi.

One ounce is equal to forty dirhams, and the weight of one dirham is 2.975 grams.

2. Unveiling the wedding

At-Tirmidhi (1089) narrated from Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) that she said: “The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: “Announce the wedding.” Sheikh al-Albani called the hadith good, “al-Irwa”, 7/50.

An-Nasai (3369) reported that Muhammad ibn Khatib (may Allah be pleased with him) said: “The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: “Beating drums and singing at a wedding separates what is permitted from what is forbidden.” Sheikh al-Albani called the hadith good.

Only women are allowed to beat drums at a wedding.

Al-Hafiz said in Al-Fath: “It has come in strong hadiths that this is only permissible for women. This is not appropriate for men in view of the general prohibition against being like women.”

3. Wedding celebration (valima)

This is a confirmed Sunnah, one of the ways of announcing marriage and expressing joy and happiness on this occasion.

It was narrated from Anas (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said to Abdur Rahman ibn Awf when he got married: “Arrange a wedding meal, even if it consists of one sheep.” Hadith agreed.

Some scholars consider Walimah to be obligatory, based on the hadith narrated by Ahmad (22526) from Ibn Buraydah from his father, who said: “When Ali wooed Fatima (may Allah be pleased with them both), the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said : “There should be a wedding celebration.” Shaykh al-Albani said in Adab al-Zafaf (72): “There is no mistake in his isnad, as al-Hafiz pointed out in al-Fath.”

If you receive an invitation to a celebration, then it is obligatory to go to it. It was narrated from Abdullah ibn Umar (may Allah be pleased with both of them) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: “If one of you is invited to a celebration, let him go.” Hadith agreed.

Sheikh Ibn Uthaymeen (may Allah have mercy on him) said: “Scholars (may Allah have mercy on them) say that it is obligatory to respond to an invitation if a person is called by name and invited, be it a personal invitation, an invitation through an intermediary or using a postcard, with provided that there is no sin at the wedding. If there is something sinful about going to a wedding, then in this case there may be two options: if a person can prevent this sin, then he should go; if he is unable to do this, then he is forbidden to go there.” See Liqa' al-Bab al-Maftuh, 13/133.

It is allowed to have a festive dinner without meat. Al-Bukhari (4213) reported that Anas (may Allah be pleased with him) said: “The Prophet, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, stopped between Khaybar and Medina for three days to marry Safiyya, and I invited Muslims to his wedding a celebration during which neither bread nor meat was served. The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) ordered Bilal to spread leather mats on which dates, dry curds and butter were placed, and the Muslims asked each other: “Will she become one of the mothers of the faithful or will she remain his slave?” And they said: “If he orders her to wear a veil, then she will become one of the mothers of the faithful, and if not, then she will remain a slave,” and before setting off, the Prophet, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, prepared for her place on his camel behind him and closed (her from people).”

4. It is advisable to congratulate the newlyweds, because the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) congratulated the newlyweds. It is reported that Abu Hurayrah (may Allah be pleased with him) said that the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him), congratulating a man on his marriage, said: “May Allah bless you, and may He send His blessings upon you, and may He bless yours.” union" (Baraka Allahu laka wa baraka Allahu 'aleika wa jama'a beinakuma fi khairin). Abu Dawud, 2130; Sheikh al-Albani called the hadith authentic.

- be kind to your wife during marriage

Ahmad (26925) narrated that Asma bint Umays (may Allah be pleased with her) said: “I was one of those who took care of Aisha and prepared her for her wedding with the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him), and with me was several women." She continued: “By Allah, we had no food except a vessel of milk. He drank from it and then handed it to Aisha, but she was too shy to take it. We said: “Do not reject the hand of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him), take it.” She modestly took it and drank it, and then he said, “Give it to your friends.” We said, "We don't want to drink." The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) replied: “Do not mix hunger with lies.” Sheikh al-Albani called the hadith good, Adab al-Zafaf, 19.

- put your hand on her head and pray for her

Abu Dawud (2160) narrated from Amr ibn Shuaibah, from his father, from his great-grandfather, from the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him), who said: “When one of you gets married, let him put his hand on his wife’s head and say : “Allahumma inni asaluka hairaha wa haira ma jabaltaha alayhi wa auzu bika min sharriha wa min sharri ma jabaltaha alayhi” (O Allah! Verily, I ask You for the good in it and the good in what You have created in it, and I ask salvation from You from her evil and the evil that You created in her).” Sheikh al-Albani called the hadith good.

- some righteous predecessors considered it desirable for newlyweds to pray 2 rak'ahs

Ibn Abi Shaiba (17156) reported that Shakiq said: “A man came to Abdullah Ibn Mas'ud, who called Abu Jarir, and said: “I married a young girl, and I am afraid that she will not like me.” Abdullah said: “Love is from Allah and disgust is from Satan, who wants to make hateful to you what Allah has allowed you. Therefore, when she comes to you, tell her to perform two rak’ahs after you.” Sheikh al-Albani called the hadith authentic, Adab al-Zafaf, 24.

- during intimacy, a man should read a dua

Al-Bukhari (3271) narrated from Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with both of them) that the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: “When someone wants to approach his wife (i.e., have intimate intimacy), let him say:

?????? ??????? ? ?????????? ?????????? ???????????? ? ????????? ???????????? ??? ???????????

“Bismillah, Allahumma jannibnaa ash-shaitan wal janib ash-shaitan ma razaktana (In the Name of Allah. O Allah, protect us from the shaitan and protect from the shaitan what you give us). And if a child is destined for him, then Satan will not harm him."

In conclusion, we would like to emphasize the importance of treating your wife kindly; The husband must fear Allah in relation to his wife, and the wife must fear Allah in relation to her husband. Allah says:

??????????????? ?????????????? ?????? ???????????????? ??????? ???? ?????????? ??????? ?????????? ??????? ????? ??????? ????????

“Live with them with dignity, and even if they are unpleasant to you, then what may be unpleasant to you is something in which Allah has laid down much goodness” (Women 4:19)

The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said: “If a woman performs five daily prayers, fasts during the month of Ramadan, protects her chastity and listens to her husband, then she will be told: Enter Paradise through the gate you wish.” Sheikh al-Albani declared the hadith authentic, Tahrij al-Mishkat, 3254.

And Allah knows best

There are no similar entries.

Each sunnah is very important for us as people who love the Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him).

Quick question to refresh your memory: Who was Muhammad (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him)? We, as Muslims, believe that he was the last Messenger of the Creator to all people. His life is an example for every generation until the end of time as an example of a pure and humble way of worshiping Allah to achieve His pleasure.

The word sunnah is used to describe the life and teachings of the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him). The Sunnah is a wonderful guide for everyone who wants to lead a useful and successful life.

Sometimes we think about why our life does not turn out the way we would like, while the Sunnah of the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) is a real treasure on how to arrange your life in the best possible way. Myself

“Whoever revives some of my sunnah loves me. And the one who loves me will be with me in Paradise."(Tirmidhi).

We must try to implement the Sunnah of the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) not only for personal benefit, but also out of love for him. We should be active in studying the life of the last Messenger of Allah to people (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him). The more we know about the life of a person, the more our respect for him increases. Likewise, as we learn more about the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him), we will love him more.

In this article we will discuss the 12 sunnahs of the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him), which we should strive to revive with the hope of success in this life and the next, where we, insha'Allah, can be in the company of our beloved Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) .

1. Go to bed early and wake up early

Our sleep schedule plays a big role in our ability to function effectively during the day. The morning hours after Fajr are one of the most blessed times of the day. If you start the day with prayer, you will be in the right mood all day and will be able to get a lot done during the day. However, to be able to get up early, you need to go to bed early so that your body has enough time to rest.

Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) spoke about the lifestyle of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him):

“He used to go to bed early and get up in the last part of the night to perform Tahajjud and then continue to sleep (until morning prayer).”(Bukhari).

If you let the worries of daily life get the better of you, you can end up in a very bad situation where you end up going to bed late and waking up late. As a result, every day you will not have time to do what you planned for yourself, and again you will go to bed late and get up late. Break this vicious circle today. Go to bed early and wake up early so that you have energy for daily activities.

2. Try to smile more often

Ibn Jazz (may Allah be pleased with him) reports:

“I have never seen anyone smile more than the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him).”(Tirmidhi).

Scientists have proven that when a person smiles, the level of a natural antidepressant, the hormone serotonin, increases in his body, as a result of which the person feels more content. We underestimate the impact of a smile on ourselves and on others. This small detail plays a huge role in building relationships with the people around you. A positive mindset and attitude are indispensable in the quest to be productive in order to achieve your goals in life. Smiling is a simple action that will help lift your mood and make you feel more grateful, just like our Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) did.

So let's follow this great sunnah. Note what is your usual facial expression, is your normal state of satisfaction, or do you always appear in front of people sad, dissatisfied, disappointed? It will take very little regular effort on your part, but you can stop frowning, smile more often and spread joy and peace around you, just like our Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) did.

3. Use miswak

Abu Hurayrah (may Allah be pleased with him) reported that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said:

“If I weren’t afraid of making my community difficult, I would tell them to use miswak before every prayer.”(Tirmidhi).

This hadith indicates the attitude of the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) towards the use of miswak. The miswak stick is made from the branches of the arak tree and has many useful qualities, including removing bacteria from the oral cavity. No wonder the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) wanted us to use miswak more often, as he attached great importance to oral hygiene. It is reported that the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) used miswak after waking up. Teeth are a very delicate organ and problems with them can lead to severe pain, so this sunnah offers us precautions against a problem that can cause you a lot of trouble. Miswak is easy to buy and relatively cheap, making this sunnah easy to follow. It helps keep your mouth clean and fresh naturally and effortlessly.

Abdurrahman ibn Abi Atiq said: “My father told me: “I heard Aisha, conveying the words of the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him), said :

“Miswak is a means of purifying the mouth and is pleasing to the Lord.”(Sunan an-Nasai).

4. Oiling your hair

Jabir ibn Samur asked the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) about the gray hair on his head. He replied:

“If you put oil on your head, they won’t be visible.”(An-Nasai).

Many people do not believe that oiling hair is part of the Sunnah. This hadith talks about using oil to cover gray hair, thus we see that the Sunnah of the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) covers every aspect of life. Regular oiling of hair prevents hair loss and graying, strengthens hair and makes it strong and shiny by strengthening hair protein, has a calming effect on nerves and brain capillaries. We strive for this goal by spending a lot of money on hair salons and spas, but this simple sunnah can save us a lot of money, time and effort while we emulate the life of our beloved Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him).

5. Following the one-third rule in food

Miqdam ibn Madikarib (may Allah be pleased with him) said: “I heard the following from the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him):

“The son of Adam never filled a vessel worse than his stomach. While a few pieces are enough to straighten your back. And if it is necessary for him to fill his stomach, let him fill one third with food, one third with water and one third with air.”(Ibn Majah).

Many people underestimate the fact that food has a huge impact on the performance of our body and brain. The hadith emphasizes that overeating is a very reprehensible quality that we should stay away from. It is also important to remember that malnutrition is equally harmful to humans. To function properly, we must have a balanced approach to our diet. We should not eat to the point where we feel sleepy and tired, which leads to laziness, from which we seek refuge from Allah. Thus, keeping your diet in moderation is very important.

6. Speak well or remain silent

“Let him who believes in Allah and the Day of Judgment speak good or remain silent.”(Muslim).

We often find ourselves in a situation where we sit and talk about things that don't concern us. We waste precious minutes and even hours simply discussing matters that do not increase our knowledge, improve our character, or benefit us. When we speak poorly of a person or situation, the conversation becomes long simply due to the desire to gossip. The beauty of this particular sunnah is that it helps us save time and reduces the amount of energy we waste discussing useless things. We can spend this energy and time on something useful, such as reading the Qur'an or dhikr, doing useful worldly things, or discussing things that will benefit us and others in this and the next life.

7. Performing hijama (bloodletting)

The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said:

“If there is healing in any medicine, it is found in hijama, drinking honey and moxibustion, but I would not recommend moxibustion.”(Bukhari).

The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) regularly resorted to hijama. This form of treatment has been used throughout history in many countries. The benefits of hijama are enormous: studies have shown that it is useful for treating migraines, joint pain, and infertility. It relieves stress and fatigue, which helps a person feel invigorated.

8. Visiting the sick

The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said:

“Feed the hungry, visit the sick and free the captives.”(Bukhari).

The idea of ​​caring for other people runs through all the teachings of our Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him). Among our relatives and friends, there are probably also many people who are experiencing illnesses - both mild and serious. There are two main benefits to visiting them. By showing attention and care for them, you strengthen the bonds of kinship or friendship. And secondly, when we look at a person who is suffering, we begin to give thanks for the gift of health, which many of us, unfortunately, take for granted. The next time you find out that someone is sick, don't limit yourself to wishing them a “speedy recovery”, but remember the forgotten sunnah - make an effort to visit them and support them.

9. Sitting while eating and drinking

It was narrated from Anas (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said:

“It is forbidden for a person to drink while standing.” He was asked: “And eat (while standing)?” He replied: "This is even worse"(Tirmidhi).

People who eat and drink standing show that they are doing it on the move, in a hurry. If a person sits down to eat, he may eat less than usual and chew his food more slowly, which has a positive effect on his health. It is also important to eat not alone, but with family or friends, which is the most important way to strengthen brotherly relations between people.

10. Sleep on the right side

“When the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) went to bed, he always slept on his right side.”(Bukhari).

If a person wants to feel good during the day and work productively, he should pay attention to how he sleeps. The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) led a most productive life, and his way of sleeping helped him a lot in this. Following his example is the key to a useful and healthy life.

11. Saying the words “salaam/bismillah” before entering the house

The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said:

« If a person remembers Allah when entering a house or while eating, the shaitan says to his assistants: “We have not found a place to sleep and have dinner.” But if a person enters without remembering Allah, the shaitan says: “We have a place to stay for the night,” and if he forgets to say the name of Allah while eating, the shaitan says: “We have found a place to stay for the night, and also dinner.”(Muslim).

None of us wanted the devils to enter our house. So it is very important to seek refuge from evil forces. When entering a house, one should pronounce the name of Allah in order to close the paths for the shaitan. His goal is to lead us astray from the path leading to the pleasure of Allah, so try to close all the ways through which he can enter your life. Don't let the enemy get the better of you!

12. Follow the “untying three knots” method

Getting into fudge is a challenge for many of us. However, as we said earlier, the morning hours are a very blessed and valuable time for study, work and ibadah. The sad reality is that many of us miss this time because we are unable to get up on time for Fajr.

The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said:

“When you sleep, Satan ties three knots at the back of each of your heads, and over each knot he pronounces these words: “The night is long, so sleep soundly.” If a person wakes up on Fajr and praises Allah, one knot is untied. When he performs ablution, the second knot is untied, and when he performs namaz, all the knots fall apart, and he gets up in the morning cheerful and in a good mood, otherwise, the person wakes up in bad mood and sluggish"(Bukhari).

This hadith offers us a plan of action for a successful life: get up for morning prayer, praise Allah, perform ablution and read the prayer. Being cheerful and in a good mood are the ideal ingredients for a successful day, and you will achieve this if you follow this sunnah, inshaAllah.

How happy we are that our religion offers us every opportunity for a successful and blessed life. Alhamdulillah!
