Ibn Kathir, in his tafseer of the ayaat about the Slaves of Ar-Rahman, mentions the translation that they sleep little and pray to Allah at night with fear and hope, and asking for forgiveness. Ibn Abbaas mentions that it's very easy to get this same reward (to be written as the muhsinoon!)--all you have to do is pray two extra rak'aahs (but when?) ...
If a king is righteous, the soldiers are righteous. If it is evil, the soldiers are evil. The Prophet said: there is a piece of flesh in the body, if it is righteous, the whole body is righteous, and if it is evil, the whole body is evil. What is this one piece of flesh, this king of the body? How can you protect it and make it righteous?
Every human being has a qareen assigned to him, a devil, to mislead and misguide him. The Qur'an says so, and the Prophet said so. His goal is to mess you up. So what can you do about this qareen? What are the benefits of having a qareen? You can reach a higher level of Jannah through this!
QMajd has alhamdulillah published their second newsletter, about Route 114, the sciences of the Qur'an. It covers topics from notes on the Ameer (and how Majd managed to be the largest student body--800+ students) to crosswords to articles from our very own Ilm Fruits!
Where do you Stand with Allah?
We all have titles and labels in our lives today that are defined by our characteristics. We are known in our families and communities with these labels, be they nicknames or professional titles. But what is our label with Allah (سبحانه وتعالى)? How are we written with Him? In a famous hadeeth of the Prophet (صلى الله عليه و سلم), he explains how two character traits that we today may not see as a significant, can lead one to Paradise or Hell-Fire. Which of these two traits do we possess?
We often hear about Allah's 99 names. What are these 99 names? Contrary to what you might think, the most common version of these 99 names actually has da'eef! These names actually are elite, they're the BEST, the elite 99 names.
Ibn Mas'ood (رضي الله عنه) is one of the most well-known companions of the Prophet (صلى الله عليه و سلم). (Can someone suggest some good links that detail his biography?) Orientalists--who do not generally fabricate--claim that, prior to the Second Compilation, Ibn Mas'ood's (رضي الله عنه) mushaf had two extra surahs that our mushafs [...]
What is Ihsaan? The Prophet explained to us this concept of ihsaan--what it is, and how to do it. In this post, we discuss some of the virtues of ihsaan (and the muhsineen), and we go into some examples of how you can implement ihsaan in your day-to-day life--whether you're a student, an employee, or something else!
Faculties in Islamic Institutes
Are you, or someone you know, planning on studying overseas? Then you might be wondering what all these different faculties are--Qur'an, hadith, da'wa and aqeedah, fiqh, ... what do they really study? In this post, we mention, at a basic level, what you study in these faculties, based on second-hand knowledge (from people we know who attended personally).
During the time of Abu Bakr, 70 huffadh were martyred. After this, 'Umar ibn Al-Khattab discussed with Abu Bakr, and they decided to compile the Qur'an into book format--prior to this, it was never compiled. Why wasn't it compiled in the time of the Prophet? Many reasons. They both chose Zayd, for several reasons--including his piety and knowledge of the Qur'an. He said, "If they had asked me to lift a mountain, it would've been easier for me than this task."
