What is the Day of Ashura?
Whoever spends the Day of Ashura, namely the 10th of Muharram, in ibAdah (Acts of worship) and in discharging sadaqah (charity) will be blessed by Allah SubhAnahu with plenty of thawAb (rewards). Abū Bakr al Warraq (rahmatullāhi ‘alayhi), a walī (friend) of Allāh said: “Every good deed in Rajab Sharīf is recorded as ten good deeds, in Sha‘bān Sharīf, as seventy, and in the Ramaḍān as one thousand.”
THE EXCELLENCE OF RAMAḌĀN SHARĪF
Rasūlullāh (sallallāhu ‘alayhi wa sallam) said: “Whoever attends a gathering of dhikr (remembrance of Allāh), Allāh Ta‘ālā writes one thawāb (merit) of ibādah for each step he takes (while going to and coming from that gathering) and he will be together with me under the Arsh al-Ā’la (The Great Throne) on the Day of Qiyāmah.” “Whoever continues to attend the congregation (of salāh) in the month of Ramaḍān, Allāh Ta‘ālā gives him one city made of light (in paradise) for every rak‘ah he has performed.”
THE MERITS OF THE NIGHT OF BARĀ’AH
Rasūlullāh (sallallāhu alayhi wa sallam) said: “Allāh Ta‘ālā manifests (with His Mercy) in the night of the half of Sha‘bān (Sharif) and forgives all His creation, except the one who associates partners with Him or the one who has hatred in his heart (against a Muslim).” (Munāwī Faydh al-Qadīr)
SHA‘BĀN SHARĪF
A mu’min should constantly strive to attain closeness to his Rabb through giving sadaqah, keeping (nāfilah) fast, Tahajjud Salāh and many other forms of ibādah (acts of worship). They should make more efforts especially during the Three Blessed Months (Rajab, Sha‘bān and Ramaḍān). Abū Bakr al Warraq (rahmatullāhi ‘alayhi), a walī (friend) of Allāh said: “Every good deed in Rajab Sharīf is recorded as ten good deeds, in Sha‘bān Sharīf, as seventy, and in the Ramaḍān as one thousand.”
THE MIRACLE OF MI‘RĀJ
Rasūlullāh (sallallāhu ‘alayhi wa sallam) was taken with Buraq from Masjid al-Haram to Masjid al-Aqsā on the 27th night of Rajab, one and a half years before the Hijrah. Then, with the Mī‘raj (staircase) brought, he was taken from the big rock in Masjid al-Aqsā to the lower heaven. He met with the prophets in each heaven. After greeting and talking to them, he reached Sidrah al-Muntaha. From there, he got on Rafraf and was blessed with the divine presence. He was shown many wonders from Allāh Ta‘ālā’s kingdom
THE GREATEST FORM OF REPENTANCE: TASBĪH SALĀH
Tasbīh Salāh is the highest form of Tawbah (repentance) and Istighfār (asking for forgiveness) that is carried out with the entire body. Rasūlullāh (sallallāhu ‘alayhi wa sallam) once said to his uncle Abbās (raḍiyallāhu‘anhu) concerning TasbīhSalāh: “O, uncle! Let me gift you by describing to you something which will erase 10 types of sin, when you do so, the first and last, new and old, intentional or unintentional, major or minor, secret or open of your sins will be forgiven. You pray four rak‘ah salāh. If you can, pray this salāh every day. If you cannot pray it every day, then every week, if not every week, then at least once a month. If you cannot do so, then at least once a year, if you cannot do so, then once in your lifetime, pray this salāh.”
THAT WHICH IS MORE PRECIOUS THAN WEALTH AND ROYALTY
Another blessing Sulaymān (‘alayhis salām) was bestowed by Allāh Ta‘ālā was that the wind would convey speeches of people to Sulaymān (‘alayhis salām). One day, a farmer saw Sulaymān (‘alayhis salām) travelling in the sky with his troops and watched them in astonishment, saying: “What a great wealth and royalty Allāh Ta‘ālā blessed the family of Dāwūd!” On hearing these words, Sulaymān (alayhis salām) landed near the farmer and advised him: “I landed here to give you this advice: Do not yearn to possess what you cannot handle. By Allāh, one accepted tasbīh (saying Subḥānallāh) is superior to all the worldly blessings given to the family of Dāwūd.”
A PERSON WELL-KNOWN AMONG THE ANGELS
One day Jibrā’īl (‘alayhis salām) was sitting with Rasūlullāh (sallallāhu ‘alayhi wa sallam). Meanwhile, Abu Dharr al-Ghifārī (raḍiyallāhu ‘anhu) appeared from far. Jibrā’īl (‘alayhis salām) said: “This coming person is Abū Dharr.” Rasūlullāh (sallallāhu ‘alayhi wa sallam) asked: “Do you know him?” Jibrā’īl (‘alayhis salām) said: “He is much more well known among angels than he is known among people.” Rasūlullāh (sallallāhu ‘alayhi wa sallam) asked: “How did he attain this degree?” Jibrā’īl (alayhis salām) replied: “This is because he struggles against his nafs (lower-self) constantly and recites Sūrah al-Ikhlās a lot.”
FRUITS: BANANA
Allāh Ta‘ālā mentions the blessings the people of Jannah (Paradise) will have in the 28th and 29th āyahs of Sūrah al-Wāqi‘ah: “They (Ashāb-e yamīn whose books will be given from the right) will be among thornless cherry- trees, and banana trees layered [with fruit].”
Resemble
A person who follows Rasulullah (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) should abstain from what he (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) abstained from. A person who follows the ways of people whom Rasulullah (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) stayed away from will have opposed Rasulullah (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) Hulbu’t-Ta’i (radiyallahu anhu) reported that Rasulullah (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) said: “Let no desire awaken in your heart that will make you resemble the Christians.”
TASHABBUH
TASHABBUH (TRYING TO RESEMBLE OTHERS) Tashabbuh is the resemblance of a person to another in physical appearance, clothing, lifestyle, character, attributes, and qualities or trying to resemble them by imitating their ways. Muslims are obliged to refrain from imitating the customs and traditions of the Kuffar (infidels). Because it either leads one to Kufr (disbelief) or weakens their Iman (faith). Allah Ta‘ala says: “And whoever opposes the Prophet after the right path has been shown clearly to him, and follows other than the believers’ way (in faith, acts and obedience to Allah, His Rasul and Ulul-Amr). We shall keep him in the path he has chosen and drive him to the Hell - what an evil destination.” (Surah al-Nisa, Ayah 115)
Five Nights
Rasûlullah (sallallâhu alayhi wa sallam) said: “There are five nights in which Du‘âs (supplications) are not rejected: Jumu‘ah (Friday) night, first night of Rajab, the night of half of Sha‘bân (Laylah al-Barâ’ah), night of Eid al-Fitr, and night of Eid al-Adhâ.” (Bayhaqî, Shu‘ab al-Îmân)
Pray (Nâfilah) at Night
Rasûlullah (sallallâhu alayhi wa sallam) said: “If a person goes to his bed intending to get up and pray (Nâfilah) at night, then sleep overwhelms him until morning (time of Fajr), (the reward of) what he intended will be recorded for him as rewards and his sleep is a charity given to him
Noble Qur’ân
Rasûlullah (sallallâhu alayhi wa sallam) said: “There is no poverty concerning any servant reciting the Noble Qur’ân and there are no greater riches (needed) for that servant.” (Al-Musannaf ibn Abî Shaybah)
Winter Ibadah
Rasulullah (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) said: “Winter is the spring of a believer. The days are short so they fast and the nights are long so they pray (Tahajjud and make Dhikr).” (Bayhaqi, Shu‘ab al-Iman)
Knowledge
Rasulullah (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) said: “Acquire knowledge. And acquire peace, tranquillity, and dignity for knowledge. Humble yourself before the person from whom you acquire knowledge.” (Tabarani, al-Mu‘jam al- Awsat)
Keep my heart firm on your religion
Mother of the believers, Hadrat Umm Salamah (radiyallahu anha) said: “(Among) The Du‘as which Rasulullah (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) often made was, ‘Ya muqalliba’l-qulub, thabbit qalbi ‘ala dinika’ (O, Allah who changes the hearts! Keep my heart firm on your religion).” (Sunan al-Tirmidhi)
True Believers
Rasulullah (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) said: “Adhere to righteousness even though you will not be able to count it (the reward you will achieve from righteousness). Know that the best of your acts is Salah. Indeed, the (true) believers will always be in a state of Wudu.” (Sunan Ibn Majah)
Eat of the good (lawful)
Allah Ta‘ala says:“O, you who believe! Eat of the good (lawful) things that we provided you and be grateful to Allah, if it is (indeed) Him that you worship.”(Surahal-Baqarah, Ayah172)
Good Friend
Rasulullah (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) said: “The similitude of a good friend is like a person who sells perfumes. Even if you do not buy anything (perfume) from him, you benefit from the fragrant smell of his shop. As for the similitude of a bad friend, it is like the blacksmith. Even if his fire (in the furnace) does not burn your clothes, its smoke and fumes will get to you.” Sufyan bin Uyaynah (rahmatullahi alayh) said:* “A person who loves a Salih (righteous) person will have indeed loved Allah Azza wa Jalla.”*
MAWLID AN-NABAWI
Rasulullah (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) blessed the universe with his birth on the 12th of this month. Therefore, the twelfth of Rabi‘ al-Awwal is the night of Waladat (Mawlid), a sacred night in the Hijri Calendar. During this month, Muslims should engage in reciting Salawat (Durud) Sharif, such as Salat al-Nariyyah, Salat al-Munjiyah and Salat al-Fathiya as many times as possible.
TAQWÂ
Taqwâ is to fear Allâh Ta‘âlâ, abstain from sins and the things that may lead to humiliation, and to restrain the Nafs (lower self) from unlawful acts. A person with Taqwâ trying to fulfil his religious duties is called Muttaqî. A person asked Hadrat Abû Hurayrah (radiyallâhu anhu): “What is Taqwâ?” He said: “Have you ever walked on a thorny path?” The man said: “Yes, I have.” Abû Hurayrah (radiyallâhu anhu) asked: “How did you walk there?” The man replied: “By abstaining from being pricked by them.” Abû Hurayrah (radiyallâhu anhu) said: “Then, abstain from sins just like you did from the thorns, that is Taqwâ.”
GOOD CHARACTER IS A SIGN OF ÎMÂN
Good character is the sign of Îmân and adornment of Islam. Muslims should rid themselves of evil habits and adorn themselves with good manners. Bad character misleads a person to sin, whereas good character leads to salvation and prosperity in Dunyâ and the Âkhirah. People who follow the straight path drawn by our religion cannot act immorally because our religion prohibits every one of the misdeeds and offences that violate peace and prosperity. There are even certain penalties to be executed in this world and in the Hereafter about those who violate these religious prohibitions.
ISLAMIC BROTHERHOOD
The love among the fellow brothers in religion (Islam) increases with their sincerity, honesty, and loyalty. Sincerity among them leads to Wafâ, which is the constancy in friendship and the highest level of love and sincerity. The Prophet of Allâh (sallallâhu alayhi wa sallam) established brotherhood among his Sahâbah (companions) through which sincerity and love increased and their support to each other strengthened. In this regard, Nabî (sallallâhu alayhi wa sallam) said: “I advise you to take sincere and pure fellow brothers, for they are (like) ornament to you at times of ease, and security at times of calamities.”
WHO IS BLESSED WITH REAL SALVATION ?
People praised a person in the company of Ahmad bin Hanbal (rahmatullâhi alayh).

There is nobody more beloved to who repents from his sins
Nabî (sallallâhu alayhi wa sallam) said: “There is nobody more beloved to Allâh Ta‘âlâ than a youth who repents from his sins. And there is nobody more disliked by Allâh Ta‘âlâ than an old man persisting in sins.” (Kanz al-‘Ummâl)

The Virtue Of Places Of Knowledge
Hz. Abu Lays al Samarqandi said:
"Seven virtues a person will gain by being present in a place of knowledge (Ilm) even if they do not learn anything:..."
Duties Of Parents
Importance should be given to the education of their children. When their child reaches the age of 6, the parents should teach them the Qur’an, the Fardh and manners of Islam. Parents should be very merciful towards their children. They should kiss them and hug them.
Uthman (Radiyallahu Anhu) Extends Masjid Al-Nabawi
The further Islam spread the more Muslims began to visit Madinah Al-Munawwarah. When there was not enough space to accommodate all in the masjid, Muslims began to put up their own tents in the open and make their Salah there.
To Give Salaam
The person who greets his fellow Muslim brother is rewarded by Allâh Ta‘âlâ as if he has freed a slave. Salaam, if practiced regularly, removes the negative feeling of hatred and grudges hidden in the heart; it eliminates hostility and estrangement and forms a sincere bond of brotherhood.
The Reward Of Doing Good For The Sake Of Allah

Tasabbuh: Trying To Resemble
Tashabbuh is resembling a person in his physical look, living style, character, quality or habits, or imitating another person to look like him. Rasulullah said: ‘‘Whoever loves and befriends a people, Allah Ta’ala raises him that day among them.”
Seeking Knowledge Of Ilm Al-Hal Is Fardh Upon Every Muslim
Every Muslim need to teach their families Ilm Al-Hal and safeguard them from all that which do not comply with Islam. The same is true for one’s all dependants. Firstly, they need to teach them about the belief of Ahl Al-Sunnah, then the Fiqh knowledge, Akhlaq, and Muamalat such as trade. To know all the mentioned is Fardh Al-Ayn.
Abdurrahman bin Awf and His Generosity
In the age of Jahiliyya, Abdurrahman bin Awf was known as an honest person who did not drink alcohol and had good morals. His old friendship with Abu Bakr enabled him to become a Muslim thanks to him.
Caring To Pray Fajr And Isha Salah In Jama'ah
Ashab Al-Kiram (the noble companions) paid great care in performing Fajr and Isha Salah in Jama’ah. It is because, Rasûlullâh (S.A.W) said: “Indeed, two Salah are the most burdensome on the Munafiqs. They are Fajr and Isha. Had they known about their rewards; they would have hastened to (perform) them.”
To Give From The Best
One Ayah of Surah Ali Imran, that reads “You cannot attain Al-Birr (real goodness) unless you give from what you love must.” was revealed. After that, Abu Talha (R.A.) came to Nabi (S.A.W.) an said: “O prophet of Allah! (S.A.W.).
Reading Benefical Books
A nation that does not feed the growing minds, the youth, with proper and beneficial books then such youth will become corrupt. Books show the spiritual and physical realities to people like light houses even in the dark eras.
Acquiring Knowledge
Each Muslim should know the rulings and requirements of Islam.
If Allah (S.W.T.) wishes good for an ummah, He bestows knowledge to their rulers and wealth to their ulama (scholars).
The Gardens Of Jannah (Paradise) Are The Masajid (Mosques
Every Masjid has a great virtue and honour. In order to indicate this honour, they are called ‘Baytullah’ (house of Allah). Thus, they deserve due respect.
Knowledge, Deeds And Sincerity
Indeed Islamic Canonical Law is of three parts: Ilm (knowledge), amal (deeds) and ikhlas (sincerity). Shari’ah will not be established unless each of these three parts is practised.
One Form Of Charity Is To Give Gifts
Gift increases love, affection and intimacy among people in social life; It is an important sunnah that removes resentment and distances between them. Giving complimentary gifts, especially according to the needs, curiosity and desires of people, is a means of both worldly and otherworldly gains.
The Virtue Of Salawat Al-Sharifa
Sayyiduna Ali (karram Allahu wajhah) said: ‘Rasulullah (S.A.W.) said’: “Indeed Allah (S.W.T.) has some appointed angels that descend on earth only on Fridays during the day and night. They have golden pens, silver inkwells and papers of light in their hands.
Mawlid Al Nabi
Night of Mawlid is the night Rasulullah (Sallallahu Alayhi Wa Sallam) honoured the whole universe with his coming. Rasulullah (Sallallahu Alayhi Wa Sallam) honoured the whole universe with his arrival on the 12th night of Rabi’ al Awwal on a Monday.
