Assalamualaikum / Greetings dear readers.
The following was whatever knowledge i managed to get and recall from just now's lecture at Darul Makmur Mosque. Still havent get the name of the ustaz who was lecturing, insya'Allah i will edit this post to include his name.
1) Knowledge that we get, haram for us to keep to ourselves. We must share with others.
2) He mentioned the story of Nabi Musa A.S. and Nabi Khidir (Khadar). Nabi Musa is a well known prophet and messenger. But why did Allah order him to go far away and seach for Nabi Khidir? The reason is he made a simple mistake. Someone asked him, "Who are you?" and he answered, "I am myself". For this simple incident, it may be nothing for us. But compare this to another incident. Someone came up to Rasullah SAW and asked, "Which is the best and worst place on Earth?". At this point, Rasulullah SAW didnt know the answer, but he replied, "Wallahua'alam (Only Allah knows best)". Then came archangel Jibril A.S. to teach him and the answer to that question was MOSQUES and TOILETS.
From here, we can see the difference in how a question was answered. Thus Nabi Khidir was sent to teach Nabi Musa of some manners. Also, he cannot be a wali or saint. Because prophets are higher in ranks than saints in the eyes of Allah. We only have saints now because prophet Muhammad SAW has left us and he is the seal of the prophets. The only other prophet which will come back to fight the dajjal is Nabi Isa A.S.. Other than that, only certain people will be granted permission by Allah SWT to meet with Rasullah SAW and maybe some other prophets, Wallahua'lam.
Back to the story of Nabi Khidir; when Nabi Musa came to him, Nabi Khidir could recognise him without asking his name whatsoever. Bear in mind also that this was the first meeting between those two. Another sidetrack. Saints or wali can be granted this special "power" or "gift" as well. With the use of khaddam or jin, one may get ilham or "direct communication" (not wahyu). They can then tell things that we thought only we and Allah knows. But if Allah wants to grant people with that knowledge as well, He will. For He is The Knower of all things, seen or unseen.
3) An 'alim or knowledgeable person is not an 'alim until he learns from someone who is senior of him and also junior of him. (something we can relate to in our lives if we were to sit down and think back carefully)
4) if someone does an ibadah or act of worship, there are two criterias which if fulfilled, it will be taken as a good deed or pahala. one is, ikhlas or sincerely because of Allah SWT. and the second is, in accordance with the sunnah of Rasulullah SAW.
If there's any error, I'm open for rectification. None is perfect as perfection only belongs to Allah (God Almighty). All good things come from Allah and all the bad things are from my side and the side of Shaiytan the accursed.

10 companions
Bismi-llahi ar-Rahmani ar-Rahimi, In the name of God, Most Gracious, Most Merciful. And I beg for forgiveness from Allah for whatever sin that I have done in the past and to show me the right path. Ameen.
Assalamualaikum / Greetings dear readers.
I copy pasted the below information directly from wikipedia. These are the special people that during their lifetime, have already been guaranteed a place in Jannah.
Imagine that during our lifetime, we get to know the truth that we had been given a place in Jannah. How will we feel? Probably ecstatic beyond words. But for them, no. Even when the companion was shown heaven on his right and Hell on his left, his faith remains exactly like how it was before. This is truly extraordinary. Getting to know those things to such an extent without affecting their faith. Normal people on the streets in Singapore often like to use the terms "chill" or "lepak" when facing a problem or even anything. Well, the "chill" or "lepak" of these 10 companions of Rasulullah SAW is truly magnificent. If only we can "chill" or "lepak" the way they do it......
Name in Arabic :

Wisdom
Bismi-llahi ar-Rahmani ar-Rahimi, In the name of God, Most Gracious, Most Merciful. And I beg for forgiveness from Allah for whatever sin that I have done in the past and to show me the right path. Ameen.
Assalamualaikum / Greetings dear readers.
Nowadays, its common for people to have a liking for those sweet, short and nice wisdom-filled phrases or sayings. Well, if only they turned to the ones that bring them closer to Allah, insya'Allah may He bring us closer to Him. Ameen.
One day, Fatimah ( Rasulullah's daughter) served sweet honey in a beautiful bowl to Rasulullah SAW and his four close friends, Abu Bakar, Umar, Uthman and Ali. A strand of hair was accidentaly dropped in the bowl. Rasulullah SAW proposed to his friends to make comparison based on the beautiful bowl, sweet honey and a strand of hair. So, each of them came up with the comparisons.
Abu Bakar : Faith is more beautiful than the beautiful bowl, those who are faithfuls are sweeter than the sweet honey and to keep the faith is far more difficult than to cross over a strand of hair.
Umar : Government is more beautiful than the beautiful bowl, the Ruler is sweeter than the sweet honey and to govern with fair and justice is far more difficult than to cross over a strand of hair.
Uthman : Knowledge is more beautiful than the beautiful bowl, knowledge seekers are sweeter than the sweet honey and to practice the knowledge is far more difficult than to cross over a strand of hair.
Ali : Guest is more beautiful than the beautiful bowl, welcoming the guest is sweeter than the sweet honey and to satisfy the guest through out the stay is far more difficult than to cross over a strand of hair.
Fatimah : Muslimah is more beautiful than the beautiful bowl, Muslimah with hijab and purdah is sweeter than the sweet honey, to get the real Muslimah is far more difficult than to cross over a strand of hair.
Rasulullah SAW : Those who gain guidance from Allah is more beautiful than the beautiful bowl, those who practice the good deeds is sweeter than the sweet honey and sincerity in the practice is far more difficult than to cross over a strand of hair.
Jibrail : To construct and strenghten the pillars of religion is more beautiful than the beautiful bowl, to surrender oneself, wealth and time towards the religion is sweeter than the sweet honey and to sustain it till death is far more difficult than to cross over a strand of hair.
Allah SWT : Paradise is more beautiful than the beautiful bowl, bliss in Paradise is sweeter than the sweet honey and the pathway to the Paradise is far more difficult than to cross over a strand of hair.
If there's any error, I'm open for rectification. None is perfect as perfection only belongs to Allah (God Almighty). All good things come from Allah and all the bad things are from my side and the side of Shaiytan the accursed.

Sharing
Bismi-llahi ar-Rahmani ar-Rahimi, In the name of God, Most Gracious, Most Merciful. And I beg for forgiveness from Allah for whatever sin that I have done in the past and to show me the right path. Ameen.
Assalamualaikum / Greetings dear readers.
Just wanna share some random things i've learnt yesterday night insya'Allah.
1) We know abt angels or malaikat. Yes their iman is constant are they are like perfect coz they do not do any sins or any bad deeds. But it stops there. Its constant, wont go down or even up. Their iman stays where it is. However, all species other than human are made for the latter. Even the malaikat. The thing we forget is that, we can be worse than them, as in our belief is not strong and we can fall back behind them in terms of iman and darjat in the eyes of Allah. But what many people do not know is that, we can exceed them as well. Meaning we can be as good as angels, or even much better than them. If Allah wills. That is why human beings are special.
2) One reason for us to have the ability to overtake the malaikat in terms of iman is our effort. Allah sends down trials and tests for us in our life not without a purpose. We often pray to keep away from bad deeds such as pride, stingy, stubborn, always wanting praises from others and doing things to satisfy the nafsu. However, that is where the blessing in disguise is. When we are faced with those challenges, it is our iman which will determine whether we can overcome them and go up step higher in reaching to Allah SWT. Without those trials, we cannot elevate. Getting a place in Jannah is not cheap. Its the same as trying to get a high salary pay job. We have to work hard first to get a good education and equip ourselves with skills before we deserve a good job. People who claim that they do not face those trials, are either lying or they are dead spiritually. Because without these tests, we cannot increase our belief towards Allah SWT and that is something wrong.
3) People who place the Quran in front of them now; the Quran will place them in front on Judgement Day. Meaning, if we hold on the Quran, read it and not put it aside now, then the Quran will give us its aid during Qiyamah. Quran is not a book. They are the Words of Allah. Words in this context is not just something that comes out from the mouth and reach our ears before it just disappear. They have been a story about a man who had just passed away and was being carried to his graveyard. On the way, he saw a bright shining man and that man claimed himself to be the Quran who will help him in the graveyard because in his lifetime, he like to read the Quran. Thus we cannot leave the Quran behind but read it constantly. Quran also draws us towards a conversation with Allah SWT. There are many verses which strikes a direct conversation with Allah, such as verses where we pray and ask Allah for something we want. Thus all these will further bring us nearer to Allah SWT, insya'Allah.
Hope this will be useful to all of us insya'Allah

Knowledge
Bismi-llahi ar-Rahmani ar-Rahimi, In the name of God, Most Gracious, Most Merciful. And I beg for forgiveness from Allah for whatever sin that I have done in the past and to show me the right path. Ameen.
Assalamualaikum / Greetings dear readers.
Knowledge. The higher the amount of knowledge we acquire, the more humble we become. Not the higher we put our heads up high and be a proud slave.
When we get to learn something, that is information. But when we learn something and apply it, that's called knowledge. In Islam, we must believe that all good knowledge comes from Allah SWT and all bad things come from our weakness and syaithan. We must admit that we are nothing without Allah. We need Allah because He is our Master. We are His slaves. When we learn something good, we praise Him. Alhamdulillah. Without knowledge, we really are nothing. We dont have a motive in our life.
Allah chose us as the best of all creatures He ever made. Because we have brains to think. We have been granted that ability to acquire knowledge through which, will enable us to know Allah better and with much deeper understanding. To be able to understand what is around us. To be able to believe in Allah's words in Quran. To be able to take whatever He commands us to do and whatever Rasulullah SAW has taught into our daily lives and make it a way of life. To pray only to Allah.
Without knowledge, we are the least appreciated human beings on earth. That is why knowledge is an important aspect in Islam. Allah emphasised this too. Through it, we will learn what's right and wrong, what is good and what is bad. To look deeper inside and not only touch the surface.
We do not acquire knowledge to be boastful or to get praise from others. That will not make us a good muslim. This will contradict what we read everyday in a verse of Al-Fatihah which means, guide us to the True Path. We cannot be on that path if we do not put in effort. Thus, we have to stay away from all feelings of being boastful, vain and ego. Nauzubillah. These are the works of syaithan.
Insya'Allah, let us pray to Allah SWT so that He will open up our hearts, spread the Light in it, and open up our mind and fill it in with Perfect Knowledge. Ameen.

Fatimah Az-Zahra
Bismi-llahi ar-rahmani ar-rahimi, In the name of God, Most Gracious, Most Merciful. And I beg for forgiveness from Allah for whatever sin that I have done in the past and to show me the right path. Ameen.
Assalamualaikum / Greetings dear readers. I would like to share a story obtained from an ipod touch application named mbook pack. Insya'Allah
One day, Rasulullah S.A.W entered to visit his daughter Fathimah R.Ha. He found his daughter grinding syair wheat with a hand grinder made of stone. Rasulullah S.A.W asked his daughter, "What makes you cry Fathimah? I hope Allah S.W.T does not make you cry."
Fathimah said, "This grinder and all household affairs are the ones that make me cry"
Rasulullah sat beside his daughter, while Fathimah continued, "Father, can you asked my husband to go find a helper to complete the wheat grinding and other household chores?" Hearing his daughter's request, Rasulullah rose, took a few strands of syair wheat with his blessed and noble hands, and put them in the grinder while saying, "Bismillahirrahmanirrahim" (In the name of Allah the compassionate and giving). With persmission from Allah S.W.T the grinder moved by itself, and continued grinding the wheat strand by strand. Rasulullah praised to Allah in many different languages until all the wheat grain was completely ground.
Rasulullah S.A.W said to the grinder, "By Allah's permission, you can stop grinding"
Allah S.W.T permitted the grinder to speak fluently in Arabic, and it said, "Dear Rasul, by Allah who created you with all truth as His envoys and prophet, if you asked me to grind from Masyriq to Maghrib (dusk to dawn), so I will. I have read Allah's revelation that said:
'Hey faithful ones, protect yourselves and your families from fiery hell whose fuel was made of humans and stones, whose guards are rough angels who are disciplined and obey His every command'
Therefore I fear that I will become one of the stones in hell"
Rasulullah S.A.W then said to the grinder, "Be joyful, as you will be one of the stones that decorate Fathimah's throne in heaven." The grinder was very happy, as it quit his task.
Rasulullah S.A.W enlightened his daughter, "If Allah wishes, the grinder will do the task for you, but Allah wants some of your good deeds to be written, and some of your mistakes to be redeemed. Dear Fathimah, any woman who grinds wheat to flour for her husband and children, Allah S.W.T promises her to have every grain worth one degree of increase in her goodness."
Dear Fathimah, any woman who sweats by grinding the wheat for her husband, Allah S.W.T will put seven trenches between her and the hell. Dear Fathimah, any woman who tends and puts clothes to her children will have rewards equal to feeding a thousand of starving people, and dressing a thousand naked people. Dear Fathimah, any woman who obstructs the needs of her neighbors will be prevented from drinking from the lake Kautsar.
Dear Fathimah, more importantly is your husband's contentment, for he will not pray for you if he is not pleased. Know the fact that husband's contentment is Allah's, and husbands rage is also Allah's. Dear Fathimah, if a woman is pregnant, angels will istighfar (ask forgiveness) for the unborn, Allah will note down a thousand of goodness, and erase a thousand of mistakes. When she suffers during labor, Allah S.W.T notes down rewards of those who fight in Allah's way (jihad). When she gives birth, her sins will be erased as clean as the day she was born. Should she die during labor, she will be cleaned of her sins, and her grave will be a garden of the gardens of Eden, and Allah S.W.T will bestow upon her rewards of a thousand hajj pilgrimages and a thousand of Umrah's, and the a thousand angels will ask for forgiveness for her (istighfar) every single day until the end of time.
Any woman who duly serves her husband faithfully and unconditionally, Allah will forgive all her sins, put green dresses and reward a thousand rewards for every strand of hair in her body, and Allah will bestow upon her rewards of one thousand hajj pilgrimages and a thousand of Umrah's. Dear Fathimah, any woman who smiles for her husband, Allah S.W.T will look upon her with blessings. Dear Fathimah, any woman who provides comfort, or beautify the house, the angels will shout, "Continue your kindness, and Allah forgives some of your previous sins, and some of your future sins." Dear Fathimah, any woman who grooms her husband, trimming his hair, moustache and beard, and clipping his fingernails, Allah will allow her to drink from the rivers of heaven. Allah S.W.T will also relieve her dying (sakratul maut), and make her grave as garden from the gardens of Eden, save her from fiery hell, and save her from the Shirat bridge (crossing of hell).
If there's any error, I'm open for rectification. None is perfect as perfection only belongs to Allah (God Almighty). All good things come from Allah and all the bad things are from my side and the side of Shaiytan the accursed.

Some For The Women part 2
Bismi-llahi ar-Rahmani ar-Rahimi, In the name of God, Most Gracious, Most Merciful. And I beg for forgiveness from Allah for whatever sin that I have done in the past and to show me the right path. Ameen.
Assalamualaikum / Greetings dear readers.
The following post below was copy-pasted directly from http://www.jannah.org/sisters/
The topic is more focussed for women in islam. I have to admit my weakness which is i do not have good knowledge for topics more focussed on muslim women. But insya'Allah, whatever i have or come across, i try to share so that we all get benefit from it, even though it may just be a bit. Insya'Allah;
THE BENEFITS OF HIJAB (COVERING) FOR WOMEN
. For Muslim women, COVERING THE HEAD IS NOT THE SIGN OF DEGRADATION or oppression. It is a commandment from Allah, who is not male or female, and thus, would not discriminate against women, a segment of His creation.
. Rather, HEAD-COVERING IS A SIGN OF PURITY AND DIGNITY. It highlights the Muslim woman as a pure, chaste woman and sets her apart from the immoral behavior associated with women who dress immodestly.
. The HIJAB IS A SORT OF "SCREEN" BETWEEN THE CHASTE MUSLIM WOMAN AND THE EVIL THAT EXISTS IN THE WORLD. When a woman wears a hijab she is less likely to be harassed by men with lusty motives; SHE IS LESS LIKELY TO BE EXPLOITED FOR HER BEAUTY AND FEMINITY.
. The Hijab allows a woman to move about outside the confines of her home WITH HER ATTENTION ON THE TASKS SHE HAS SET OUT TO DO. The Muslim woman does not try to impress anyone but Allah when outside of her home. She is not concerned if men find her attractive, or if people are impressed because she has the latest fashions, or the newest hairstyle. She leaves her home as a SELF-CONFIDENT PART OF HUMAN RACE, not as a fashion-plate seeking stares and adoration in order to gain self-esteem.
. The hijab cuts down on competition among women. How many people in the West sacrifice financial savings and health in order to have plastic surgery - in a desperate attempt to meet up to an unrealistic standard of beauty. IN ISLAM, WOMEN ARE APPRECIATED FOR THEIR KNOWLEDGE, PIETY AND CONTRIBUTION TO SOCIETY. When women wear hijab one finds that the most beautiful women are not necessarily the most popular. Rather, a woman is assessed for her mind, and not just superficial physical traits.
If there's any error, I'm open for rectification. None is perfect as perfection only belongs to Allah (God Almighty). All good things come from Allah and all the bad things are from my side and the side of Shaiytan the accursed.
Assalamualaikum / Greetings dear readers.
The following post below was copy-pasted directly from http://www.jannah.org/sisters/
The topic is more focussed for women in islam. I have to admit my weakness which is i do not have good knowledge for topics more focussed on muslim women. But insya'Allah, whatever i have or come across, i try to share so that we all get benefit from it, even though it may just be a bit. Insya'Allah;
