Day of Ashura

2010-12-14T21:45:00.002+01:00

Ashura is a religious observance marked every year by Muslims. The word 'ashura literally means "10th," as it is on the 10th day of Muharram, the first month of the Islamic year. 'Ashura is an ancient observance that is now recognized for different reasons and in different ways among Sunni and Shi'a Muslims.

Ashura' commemorates the day that Allah saved the Children of Israel from Pharaoh.

Fasting on Muharram 10, known as the Day of 'Ashura', expiates for the sins of the past year. When the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) arrived in Madinah in 622 CE, he found that the Jews there fasted on Muharram 10 and asked them the reason for their fasting on this day. They said," This is a blessed day. On this day Allah saved the Children of Israel from their enemy (in Egypt) and so Prophet Musa [Moses] fasted on this day giving thanks to Allah."

The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said,

"We are closer to Musa than you are."

He fasted on that day and commanded Muslims to fast on this day. (Al-Bukhari) The following year, Allah commanded the Muslims to fast the month of Ramadan, and the fasting of 'Ashura' became optional. It is also reported that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) intended to fast on the ninth and tenth. Ibn 'Abbas reported: The Messenger of Allah fasted on the day of 'Ashura' and ordered the people to fast on it. The people said, "O Messenger of Allah, it is a day that the Jews and Christians honor." The Prophet said, "When the following year comes, Allah willing, we shall fast on the ninth." The death of the Prophet came before the following year. (Muslim and Abu Dawud)

O Allah, I ask You for the good of what is in this day, and the good of what is after it, and I take refuge with You from the evil of what is in this day and the evil of what is after it. My God, I take refuge with You from laziness and bad aging, and I take refuge with You from hell and grave torment".

O Allah, protect me against what is in front of me, what is on my right, what is on my left and I take refuge with Your greatness from being assassinated by what is beneath).
Narrated by Abu-Dawoud and Ibn-Majah.

11-(O Allah, Knower of the Unseen and the Witnessed, Originator of the heavens and the earth, the God of everything and its King, I bear witness that there is no god but You.

Narrated by Muslim.

21-(I take refuge with Allah’s perfect words from the evil of what He has created).Three times in the evening.
Narrated by At-Termithi, Ibn-Majah and Ahmad.

*Whenever someone says one of these athkar, he applies a Sunnah (one tradition) of the Prophet’s traditions. A Muslim should preserve these athkar in the morning and in the evening, so as to apply these traditions as much as he can.

*A Muslim should say these athkar with fidelity, truthfulness and certainty, and should feel the meanings that lie in them, so that they may affect his practical life, manners and attitude.

FEAR ALLAH إتقوا الله

2009-08-26T02:00:00.018+01:00

On the authority of Abu Dharr Al-Ghafari, of the prophet is that among the sayings he relates from his Lord is that He said:

"O My servants, I have forbidden oppression for Myself and have made it forbidden amongst you, so do not oppress one another.

O My servants, all of you are astray except for those I have guided, so seek guidance of Me and I shall guide you.

O My servants, all of you are hungry except for those I have fed, so seek food of Me and I shall feed you.

O My servants, all of you are naked except for those I have clothed, so seek clothing of Me and I shall clothe you.

O My servants, you sin by night and by day, and I forgive all sins, so seek forgiveness of Me and I shall forgive you.

O My servants, you will not attain harming Me so as to harm Me, and you will not attain benefiting Me so as to benefit Me.

O my servants, were the first of you and the last of you, the human of you and the jinn of you to become as pious as the most pious heart of any one man of you, that would not increase My kingdom in anything.

O My servants, were the first of you and the last of you, the human of you and the jinn of you to be as wicked as the most wicked heart of any one man of you, that would not decrease My kingdom in anything.

O My servants, were the first of you and the last of you, the human of you and the jinn of you to rise up in one place and make a request of Me, and were I to give everyone what he requested, that would not decrease what I have, any more than a needle decreases the sea if put into it.

O My servants, it is but your deeds that I reckon up for you and then recompense you for, so let him who finds good praise Allah, and let him who finds other than that blame no one but himself."

related by Muslim.

عن أبي ذر الغفاري رضي الله عنه ، عن النبي صلي الله علية وسلم ، فيما يرويه عن ربه تبارك وتعالى ، أنه قال :
يا عبادي : إني حرمت الظلم على نفسي ، وجعـلته بيـنكم محرما ؛فلا تـظـالـمـوا
.يا عبادي ! كلكم ضال إلا من هديته ، فاستهدوني أهدكم .
يا عبادي ! كلكم جائع إلا من أطعمته ، فاستطعموني أطعمكم.

يا عبادي ! كلكم عار إلا من كسوته ، فاستكسوني أكسكم .

يا عبادي ! إنكم تخطئون بالليل والنهار ، وأنا أغفر الذنوب جميعا فأستغفروني أغفر لكم .

يا عبادي ! إنكم لن تبلغوا ضري فتضروني ، ولن تبلغوا نفعي فتنفعوني .

يا عبادي ! لو أن أولكمم وآخركم وإنسكم وجنكم كانوا على أتقي قلب رجل واحد منكم ، ما زاد ذلك في ملكي شيئًا

يا عبادي ! لو أن أولكم وأخركم وإنسكم وجنكم كانوا علي أفجر قلب رجل واحد منكم ، ما نقص ذلك من ملكي شيئًا .

يا عبادي ! لو أن أولكم وأخركم وإنسكم وجنكم قاموا في صعيد واحد ، فسألوني ، فأعطيت كل واحد مسألته ، ما نقص ذلك مما عندي إلا كما ينقص المخيط إذا أدخل البحر .

يا عبادي ! إنما هي أعمالكم أحصيها لكم ، ثم أوفيكم إياها ؛ فمن وجد خيرًا فليحمد الله ، ومن وجد غير ذلك فلا يلومن إلا نفسه :رواه مسلم رقم : 2577

Characteristics of a Pious Wife

2009-06-24T22:51:00.006+01:00

A pious woman’s priority is to seek the pleasure of Allah. She tries acquiring the qualities of a good wife by following the examples of the Prophet(Sallallahu alaiyhi wassallam) and obeying what is commanded in the Book of Allah. Complete obedience and adherence to the Sunnah of the Prophet(Sallallahu alaiyhi wassallam) and Quran is the best of a woman’s qualities.

Examples:
A woman is married for four reasons: for her wealth, for her fame, for her beauty and for her religion. So marry one for her religion and you will win. [Bukhari & Muslim]

Therefore the righteous women are devoutly obedient (to Allah and to their husbands) and guard in their husband’s absence what Allah orders them to guard (e.g. their honor, husbands property, etc) [4:34]

An-Nasaii narrated that the Prophet(Sallallahu alaiyhi wassallam) was asked “Who are the best of women?” He replied, “The one who pleases him (her husband) if he looks at her, obeys him if he orders (her) and does not subject her honor or money to what he dislikes.”

Ibn Hibban narrated that the Prophet(Sallallahu alaiyhi wassallam) said, “If a woman prayed five prayers, fasted in Ramadan, protected her honor and obeyed her husband; then she will be told (on the Day of Judgment): enter Paradise from any of its(eight) doors.”
Reflect on:

If a woman harms (in any way) her husband, then his wife in Paradise tells her: “Do not harm him, May Allah fight you, he is only staying temporarily with you. Soon he will come to us.” [Ahmad & At-Tirmithi]

If a man calls his wife to bed and she refuses till he slept while angry, then the Angels will curse her till the morning. [Muslim]

Allah does not look to the woman who does not appreciate her husband while she cannot stand his departing her. [An-Nasaii].

A woman does not fast while her husband is present without his permission, except in Ramadan. [Al-Bukhari & Muslim]

Any woman who asks her husband for divorce for no reason will not smell the fragrance of Paradise. [Sahih Al-Jamii]

Your Body receives a huge amount of Electromagnetic waves daily!

You get these Electromagnetic waves through the Electrical Equipments that you use and the various equipments which you can not leave!

Also, through the electrical lights which can not be switched off in certain cases for even an hour!

You are a source which receives huge amounts of Electromagnetic waves! In other words, you are charged with electromagnetic waves without realizing it!

You have headache! You feel uncomfortable!

Laziness, in action and pain in different places!

Do not forget this when you feel some of these symptoms!

What is the solution from all this??!!

A non Muslim Scientist (From Europe) made a research from which he concluded that the best way for the body to remove the positive Electromagnetic charges which hurts the body is:

•By putting your forehead on the ground more than once, so that the ground will discharge the positive harmful Electromagnetic charges!

•This is similar to the grounding of the buildings where any positive electrical signals (Like thunders) would be discharged through the ground.

•So, put your forehead on the ground to discharge the positive electrical signals!

What makes this research more amazing is that:

•The best is to put your forehead on the sand

And it becomes more amazing that:

•The best way is to put your forehead on the ground while you are positioned to the centre of the Earth! Since you will be able to discharge the Electromagnetic signals in a better and more efficient way!

And you will be amazed when you know that Mecca is scientifically proven to be the centre of the Earth!

And that Kaa’ba is the exact centre of the Earth!

So, “Prostration” in your prayers is:

•The best way to discharge the harmful electromagnetic signals from your body!

•It is also the ideal way to be very close from the Almighty who created this universe in such a creative way!

Allah Almighty will always ask us to do things because they are helpful and useful for us!

There are cases when we won’t know the reason for a certain act, but sooner or later, you might be able to find the reason!

In any case, you should trust the Almighty Allah and know that whatever you do for Him, is the best for you!

We do not prostrate to discharge the electromagnetic waves, but to obey the Almighty Allah! We trust that in His commands, there is always a wisdom! Our trust is because He is the Creator, He knows everything!

However, since a scientific reason is available, it was essential to show it to the people so that they can see that whatever Muslims do, is good for them!

The Democratic Republic of Muhammad

2009-05-17T10:48:00.006+01:00

The United States boasts about democracy as being an invention which it has spread all over the free world, but according to facts of history, democracy is not an American invention.

It is thought that democracy was first practiced in Rome BC where the Caesar was elected by the members of the Senate. But this Roman experience could easily be detected as an incomplete democracy, as the senators themselves were representatives of aristocracy and social elites who did not voice the common Romans as much as they voiced their own caste.

No matter how short lasting and incomplete the Roman experience might have been, it was highly priced for being a privilege to all humanity and a step forward towards more mature ones.

The First Democracy

The first true democracy which addressed the public at large, specially in sensitive issues like electing the ruler, was recorded immediately after the death of Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him).

When the Prophet Muhammad felt he was dying, he wanted to settle the issue of his successor to prevent people from having splits among themselves; specially that the newborn state he established in the Peninsula was full of not only various but also historically rivaling ethnic, tribal and political factions.

Deep inside him, Prophet Muhammad wanted his best friend and companion during the Hijrah (emigration from Makkah at the time of the Prophet ), Abu Bakr, to succeed him, but he could not have had his wish outspoken because this would have gone against people's human right to choose their ruler.

He only asked Abu Bakr to lead the people, during his last illness, in the congregational prayer in a symbolic gesture of his wish. He did not do any more to let people understand his will, which if he had declared frankly, people would have obeyed blindly.

But for the Prophet, more important than having Abu Bakr as a successor was to educate his citizens the principle of democracy as the only cornerstone for building a modern state which guarantees social justice and national security.

Although most people understood the gesture, yet others insisted on practicing their right to choose.

Two Main Political Parties

At the time of the Prophet's death, the main political parties in Madinah were the Muhajirun, or the emigrants — mainly those who emigrated with him from Makkah to Madinah to escape tyranny — and the Ansar, or the supporters. These were the inhabitants of Madinah who received him and his people, hosted them and divided their own wealth among them.

After the Ansar had collected themselves together, on hearing the news of the Prophet's death, their leaders held a meeting in the colonnade or "thaqifat Bani Saad" which is a special place for public congregations, and they prepared their nominee, Saad ibn Ubadah, for the position of a successor.

Their good reason for claiming the position in their campaign was that the Prophet made Madinah the capital of the huge Islamic state; therefore it became logical that the ruler should be one of its inhabitants.

In an eloquent oration, their nominee Saad ibn Ubadah listed proofs of his privilege, he said:

You the people of Ansar, you have a privilege in Islam that no other tribe has got. Muhammad lived more than ten years among his people in Makkah calling them to worship God and abandon worshipping idols, but they did not believe him except for very few men who could not protect him or his religion or even protect themselves against oppression. But Allah has favored you with these honors of believing in Him and His Messenger, supporting the Prophet and his companions, elevating His religion and fighting His enemies…

The Muhajirun leaders, who hurried to the colonnade to participate in the meeting, started their campaign by an oration given by Abu Bakr himself to assert the Muhajirun's right to the position.

When Abu Bakr was leading the campaign, he did not think of himself as a candidate but he was running it in favour of Umar ibn Al-Khattab as the party candidate.

Election Fever Heats up

In modern election campaigns nominees bring about all possible scandals of their rivals even if they have to spy on their private lives, and if they don't find any they don't scruple to fake ones. Ends always justify means.

But Abu Bakr ran his campaign in a different way. In his impressive oration, the prelude did not go for elevating his own party or nominee but rather for mentioning the privileges of the rival one of Ansar.

And then he started listing his reasons for claiming the position. He said:

You all know that the Prophet said 'If all people choose to walk in a certain valley while Ansar choose to walk in another, I'll take the same valley of Ansar'. You Ansar deserve whatever good I may say about you. But the Arabs will not admit this position except for the tribe of Quraish (to which the Muhajirun belonged) Quraish is the center of the Arab world as for both place and kinship.

Then he took the hand of Umar and asked people to swear allegiance to him.

Such logic succeeded in attracting voters from the other camp to join Al Muhajirun side, one said "Yes, Muhammad is from Quraish and his people have the right to succeed him, so don't argue with them about it."

Umar stood and asked the public:

"Don't you know that the Prophet gave the precedence of leading the prayers to Abu Bakr?"

"Yes," they replied.

"Does any one feel comfortable to precede the one whom the Prophet gave the precedence?" he asked.

"No, no one does," they said.

It was apparent that the general public opinion was going towards the Muhajirun party. But who was their candidate?

There was a short argument between Abu Bakr and Umar about who is going to be the Muhajirun's candidate, as everyone of the two was willing to leave it to the other.

Abu Bakr said to Umar "You are stronger than me", but Umar answered, "But you are better than me, and my strength will be for your sake".

At that moment everyone in the colonnade stood to take Abu Bakr's hand and swear allegiance to him. On the following day while the people were attending the prayer, Umar stood and asked the public for a general allegiance to be added to the selective allegiance that the political elite who attended the colonnade's meeting gave the day before.

Having guaranteed the first principle of democracy namely free public election, the new ruler, or Caliph, passed to the second which is freedom of expression.

In his first oration after he was elected Abu Bakr said "You people, Although I'm not the best among you, I have been chosen to be your ruler, if I do right help me and if I do wrong correct me …".

Running Out of Time

After Abu Bakr's death, the general consent over the character of Umar to succeed him saved time and procedures, but after Umar's death there was again a need for election. Although he had the desire to have Ali ibn Abi Talib succeeding him, Umar couldn't impose his wish on the subjects.

Before he died, Umar had felt the absence of consensus around certain candidates and he was afraid of splits that may lead to a civil war, so he listed the names of six candidates and asked people to choose among them.

He gave the candidates the ultimatum of three days to settle the issue among the public to prevent any possible turmoil that might happen. His keenness over the security of the society made him strictly give the authority for the state's chiefs to kill the six candidates in case they disputed in a way that set the society on the fire of a civil war.

One of the six candidates, Ibn Auf, withdrew — although his chance was excellent — in order to run the election from outside. In a feverish race with time, he went through the city door by door knocking and taking votes.

He took the votes of army members outside the city. He was doing his job even at night time to catch up with the dictated ultimatum.

In the last stage, votes went equally to two nominees; Uthman ibn Affan and Ali ibn Abi Talib There was a need for a second round, but votes were equal too while time was running out.

As Umar expected, people began to feel restless and there was a fear of rout due to the delay. One of the chiefs asked Ibn Auf to give his vote and settle the issue.

Feeling that his vote will settle the matter and that it is a veto for one candidate against the other, Ibn Auf tried his best to make his choice based on objective criteria rather than emotional.

He summoned Ali in front of the public and asked him, "Do you swear by God to rule according to what is dictated in His Book and according to the Sunnah of His Prophet and the model examples of the two previous Caliphs?" Ali answered "I hope I can, I'll try my best to do so."

Then Ibn Auf summoned Uthman and asked him the same question and the latter answered "Yes, I will". Therefore, Ibn Auf swore allegiance to Uthman and so did everybody.

This is the history of true and mature experiences of democracy which took place 1400 years ago. And still there are other lessons to inspire of how modern states could be built in the model of the Democratic Republic of Muhammad (peace be upon him).

Is your heart troubled by wrong actions?!.....

Have you being displeasing Allah Swt for some time?!.....

Do you feel ashamed of the things you have done?!!.....

Are you feeling overburdened??!.....

.....or better to say over loaded with mistakes!!

Then listen, to what the mercy sent to the worlds,
our beloved Prophet (Pbuh),has to tell you& us all Insha Allah.....

The Messenger of Allah
(Muhammad, peace be upon him) Said:

Allah the Almighty has said:

"O son of Adam, so long as you call upon Me and ask of Me,

I shall forgive you for what you have done, and I shall not mind. Crying Man by ¨¨iam.

O son of Adam,

were your sins to reach the clouds of the sky.....

and were you then to ask forgiveness of Me,

I would forgive you.

O son of Adam,

Were you to come to Me with sins nearly as great as the earth....

and were you then to face Me,

ascribing no partner to Me,

I would bring you forgiveness nearly as great as it."

Hadith Qudsi
------------[Related by Al-Tirmithi]-----------

Between you & Allah's forgiveness.....

Is a simple, but a truly sincere request.....

A request, that begs & says only to the Creator:.....

"Oh Allah! ,
you love forgiveness, so please forgive me!"

So if Allah opens for you a door to ask his forgiveness......

Be Very Careful!!!!

....As not to let Satan fool you into shutting that door of mercy,

.....By making you think & say:
"Will God ever forgive me??!"

But be 100% sure, that He Swt, the most Merciful ,
wants to grant you his forgiveness!!

Ali ibn Abi Talib, may Allah be pleased with him, said, "Allah does not inspire seeking forgiveness in any servant whom He wishes to punish."

So hurry & ask for it.....

Ask for Allah's forgiveness frequently in your homes, at your tables, on your roads, in your markets, at your meetings,metro, wherever you are.
For you never know when you will be granted His forgiveness.

Qatada said, "This Qur'an guides you to the recognition of your illnesses and to their remedies.

Your illnesses are your sins.....

.....and your medicine is seeking Allah's forgiveness."

And whoever does evil, or wrongs his own soul, but afterwards seeks Allah's forgiveness, will find Allah is Forgiving,Most Merciful.

The Hijab .. Why? (1)

The Hijab .. Why?

Dr: Muhammad Ismail

Translation & Comments

Dr: Saleh As-Saleh

"A View Through Hijab"

A Japanese Woman

INTRODUCTION

ALL praise is due to Allah, the Lord of the Worlds, the Most Merciful, the Beneficent, and the Master of the Day of judgment. O Allah! Have Your Salat (1)and Salam (peace) and blessing upon Your slave and Messenger Muhammad and upon all of his companions.

Extraordinary consideration has been given by the Islamic Law to women's affairs. Such consideration is sufficient to protect her chastity, to honor her and to secure her position in life. The "restrictions" placed upon her regarding her dress and the display of her beauty and ornament is only to guard against all ways of corruption arising from such dazzling displays. What Islam has established is not a restriction on the freedom of women but is a firm protection for her from falling down to the lowest levels of humility.

In this work, we mention the virtues of a critical aspect of this protection: the HIJAB. The characteristics of the Hijab are discussed, bringing the glad tidings promised (by Allah) to those women adhering to it. We also point out the danger of dazzling displays of ornaments and beauty as well as the terrible repercussions in this life and in the hereafter for those who practice Tabar'roj.

This is the second edition of this book. It comes at a time when more women are throwing away their revealing clothes, and wearing the Hijab. It goes to print when Muslim women are being raped and tom in their Hijabs in "civilized" Europe(2)! and when

France

(3) prevents Muslim women from wearing the Hijab at school. These are times of trials for Muslims and particularly for Muslim women. We all have to remember the path of the Prophets: endurance, patience, holding on, and aiming high by keeping the way of Allah above everything.

Allah knows our intentions and He is Sufficient to Us and He is the Best Guardian.

A beautiful story

An old American Muslim lived on a farm in the mountains of eastern Kentucky with his young grandson. Each morning Grandpa wakeup early sitting at the kitchen table reading his Quran. His grandson wanted to be just like him and tried to imitate him in every way he could. One day the grandson asked, 'Grandpa! I try to read the Qur'an just like you but I don't understand it, and what I do understand I forget as soon as I close the book. What good does reading the Qur'an do? ' The Grandfather quietly turned from putting coal in the stove and replied, 'Take this coal basket down to the river and bring me back a basket of water.' The boy did as he was told, but all the water leaked out before he got back to the house. The grandfather laughed and said, 'You'll have to move a little faster next time,' and sent him back to the river with the basket to try again. This time the boy ran faster, but again the basket was empty before he returned home. Out of breath, he told his grandfather that it was impossible to carry water in a basket, and he went to get a bucket instead. The old man said, 'I don't want a bucket of water; I want a basket of water. You're just not trying hard enough,' and he went out the door to watch the boy try again. At this point, the boy knew it was impossible, but he wanted to show his grandfather that even if he ran as fast as he could, the water would Leak out before he got back to the house. The boy again dipped the basket into river and ran hard, but when he reached his grandfather the basket was again empty. Out of breathe, he said, 'See Grandpa, it's useless!' 'So you think it is useless?' The old man said, 'Look at the basket.' The boy looked at the basket and for the first time realized that the basket was different . It had been transformed from a dirty old coal basket and was now clean, inside and out. 'Son, that's what happens when you read the Qur'an. You might not understand or remember everything, but when you read it, you will be changed, inside and out. That is the work of Allah in our lives.' If you feel this email is worth reading, please forward to your contacts/friends. Prophet Muhammad ( P.B.U.H.) says: 'The one who guides to good will be rewarded equally.

They Pray & Fast but are Sinful & Say: "Allah is Merciful

2008-11-17T08:42:00.002+01:00

Sheikh Khâlid Husayn

People who commit sinful deeds have many different ways of looking at their sins. When we wish to call them to what is right and have them give up their sinful ways, we must understand their way of thinking and approach them accordingly

One group of people who need a special approach are those primarily young people who appear to exhibit extremely contradictory behavior. On the one hand, they are regular in their prayers, observant of their fasts, and uphold their religious duties admirably. However, when it comes to the sinful and licentious behavior that Allah has forbidden them, they have no qualms about indulging in the most serious of sinful acts. It is not like they fall weak and sin, and then feel bad about it. They show a complete indifference to their bad behavior.

Many people who behave like this, if you ask them why they do so, they turn to you and say: "Allah is forgiving and merciful". They see themselves as religious, and do not realize that their fasts and their prayers do not give them license to indulge in sin. How do we answer such people? Aside from the general prescription that we should call them to the truth with wisdom and beautiful preaching, showing them respect and avoiding harshness – what exactly can we say that will show them the error of their ways?

People who exhibit such behavior are operating under a serious misunderstanding. They misunderstand the verses of the Qur'ân that speak about Allah's mercy. It is their misunderstanding that makes it easy for them to disobey Allah in what He forbids them

They need to be brought to understand that just like Allah is most forgiving and most merciful, he is also severe in punishment. One of the best verses to call their attention to in this regard is where

Allah says: "Inform My servants that I am the Forgiving and Merciful, and that truly My punishment will be a painful one." [Sûrah al-Hijr: 49-50]

Then, when they justify to us their sinful behavior by saying "Allah is Most Merciful" we can tell them: "Indeed He is, just as He is the Most Severe in Punishment. Do you have some guarantee that Allah is going to forgive all of your sins?

Know that Allah warns us in the Qur'ân against thinking that we have such a guarantee.

He says: "What! Do they then feel secure from Allah's plan? But none feels secure from Allah's plan except the people who are doomed to fail." [Sûrah al-A`râf: 99]

They need to know that although Allah is Most Merciful, His Mercy is not equally applicable to everyone. Allah says: "My mercy extends to all things, and I shall ordain it for those who do right, and practice regular charity, and those who believe in Our signs." [Sûrah al-A`râf: 156]

As for those who commit major sins and licentious deeds with full abandon, and then brush it off by saying "Allah is merciful." – they are projecting their own wishful thinking onto the meaning of Allah's mercy.

Importance of praying on time

2008-11-17T08:14:00.002+01:00

An email on the importance of performing Salat on time. . .He got up and realized that there were only 15 minutes left before Salat-ul Isha. He quickly made Wudhu and performed Salat-ul Maghrib. While making Tasbih, he again remembered his grandmother and was embarrassed by how he had prayed. His grandmother prayed with such tranquility and peace. He began making Dua and went down to make Sajdah and stayed like that for a while.

He had been at school all day and was tired, so tired. He awoke abruptly to the sound of noise and shouting. He was sweating profusely. He looked around. It was very crowded. Every direction he looked in was filled with people. Some stood frozen looking around, some were running left and right and some were on their knees with their heads in their hands just waiting. Pure fear and apprehension filled him as he realized where he was. His heart was about to burst.

It was the Day of Judgement. When he was alive, he had heard many things about the questioning on the Day of Judgement, but that seemed so long ago. Could this be something his mind made up? No,the wait and the fear were so great that he could not have imagined this. The interrogation was still going on. He began moving frantically from people to people to ask if his name had been called. No one could answer him.

All of a sudden his name was called and the crowd split into two and made a passageway for him. Two angels grabbed his arms and led him forward. He walked with unknowing eyes through the crowd. The angels brought him to the center and left him there. His head was bent down and his whole life was passing in front of his eyes like a movie. He opened his eyes but saw only another world. The people were all helping others.He saw his father running from one lecture to the other, spending his wealth in the way of Islam.His mother invited guests to their house and one table was being set while the other was being cleared. He pleaded his case, "I too was always on this path. I helped others. I spread the word of Allah. I performed my Salah. I fasted in the month of Ramadan. Whatever Allah ordered us to do, I did. Whatever he ordered us not to do, I did not." He began to cry and think about how much he loved Allah. He knew that whatever he had done in life would be less than what Allah deserved and his only protector was Allah. He was sweating like never before and was shaking all over. His eyes were fixed on the scale, waiting for the final decision

At last, the decision was made. The two angels with sheets of paper in their hands, turned to the crowd. His legs felt like they were going to collapse. He closed his eyes as they began to read the names of those people who were to enter Jahannam. His name was read first. He fell on his knees and yelled that this couldn't be, "How could I go to Jahannam? I served others all my life, I spread the word of Allah to others". His eyes had become blurry and he was shaking with sweat. The two angels took him by the arms. As his feet dragged, they went through the crowd and advanced toward the blazing flames of Jahannam. He was yelling and wondered if there was any person who was going to help him. He was yelling of all the good deeds he had done, how he had helped his father, his fasts, prayers, the Qur'an that he read, he was asking if none of them would help him. The Jahannam angels continued to drag him. They had gotten closer to the Hellfire. He looked back and these were his last pleas. Had not Rasulullah [saw] said, "How clean would a person be who bathes in a river five times a day, so too does the Salah performed five times cleanse someone of their sins"? He began yelling, "My prayers? my prayers? my prayers." The two angels did not stop, and they came to the edge of the abyss of Jahannam. The flames of the fire were burning his face. He looked back one last time, but his eyes were dry of hope and he had nothing left in him. One of the angels pushed him in. He found himself in the air and falling towards the flames.

He had just fallen five or six feet when a hand grabbed him by the arm and pulled him back. He lifted his head and saw an old man with a long white beard. He wiped some dust off himself and asked him, "Who are you?" The old man replied, "I am your prayers". "Why are you so late! I was almost in the Fire! You rescued me at the last minute before I fell in". The old man smiled and shook his head, "You always performed me at the last minute, did you forget?" At that instant, he blinked and lifted his head from Sajdah. He was in a sweat. He listened to the voices coming from outside. He heard the adhan for Salat-ul Isha. He got up quickly and went to perform Wudhu.

Pass this on to ur friends and family, and maybe u can help someone open his eyes. and who knows?? maybe this is a good deed that can help you during the day of judgement....May ALLAH bless you
