What They Say About Muhammad

In the name of Allah, the Merciful, the Compassionate (94:1) (O Prophet), Did We not lay open your breast (94:2) and relieve you of the burden (94:3) that had well-nigh broken your back? (94:4) And did We not exalt your fame? (94:5) Indeed, there is ease with hardship. (94:6) Most certainly, there is ease with hardship. (94:7) So, whenever you are free, strive in devotion, (94:8) and turn to your Lord with longing.

How to See the Prophet (P) in Your Dream by Muhammad Hasan

Seeing the Prophet (peace be upon him) in a dream is a blessing from Allah because it is a true dream. Abu Huraira (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates: The Prophet (peace be upon him) said: "Whoever has seen me in a dream, has in fact seen me, for Satan does not appear in my form" (Sahih Muslim, vol. 4 p 1225 no 5635) Seeing the Prophet (peace be upon him) in a dream is a blessing from Allah because it is a true dream. There is no doubt that this hadith is authentic and reliable, and thus cannot be denied or distrusted;...

In the Arabic language the word "Seerah" comes from saara yaseeru. Linguistically, it means to travel or to be on a journey. When we’re talking about someone’s seerah we’re talking about that person’s journey through life. You are talking about the person’s birth, the events surrounding it, his life and his death, and you are also studying the manners and characteristics of that person. In modern times we still call it Seerah, like a resume is called a Seerah or Seerah Dhaatihi in the Arabic language. In Islamic sciences or the Sharee’ah, Seerah means the study of the life of the...

The Meaning of Salaat and Salaam on the Prophet

The Meaning of Salaat on the Prophet: The Salaat of Allaah upon His Prophet has been interpreted to mean His praising of him before the angels, while the Salaat of the angels upon him has been interpreted to mean their supplication for him. This is the way Abul-'Aaliyah (radyAllaahu ‘anhu) has defined it as mentioned by Al-Bukhaaree in his Saheeh in the introduction of the chapter on "Verily, Allaah and His angels send their Salaat upon the Prophet. O you who believe, send your Salaat upon him as well as Salaam." [Surah Al-Ahzaab: 56] Concerning the explanation of the angels'...

Abdullah ibn Al-Mubarak used to often stay at home, so he was asked, "Don’t you get lonely?" He replied, "How can I get lonely when I am with the Prophet (salla Allahu alayhi wasallam, i.e. I read his hadith)?" (Ibn ‘Asâkir, Târîkh Dimishq Vol. 32 p458.) *** Even if I were to spend my whole life, Fighting off the soul’s strife, Completing the day-to-day chores of a wife, But studying the Prophetic Narrations with a heartfelt drive, By the Will of Allah, the Most Wise, I’d surely have made the most of my life.

Some people insist that it is a Sunnah to wear a ring, citing the Prophet’s (peace be upon him) example and saying that the Prophet’s companions did the same. We have a large number of Hadiths mentioning the Prophet’s action on this point. We need to look at these in order to establish whether wearing a ring is a Sunnah, or only recommended, or merely a permissible thing that carries no special importance. The first Hadith we look at is reported by Ibn Umar: “The Prophet acquired a gold ring and he used to wear it in his right hand....

The Earliest Recorded Extradition Request in History

British politicians frequently boast about how the foundations of ‘modern’ British law are rooted in the Magna Carta declaration of 1215. The logic being that the world did not know justice until King John put his seal on the Magna Carta on 15 June 1215 and so ‘modern’ British laws derived from the Magna Carta deliver justice even today and they remain a shining example to the rest of the world, especially the ‘backward’ African and Asian countries. The Magna Carta essentially states that no man shall be deprived of his liberty (i.e. imprisoned) or exiled from the land (i.e....

“I Wish To be Killed Following The Sunnah”

Ibn Al-’Arabi Al-Maaliki said: ‘I once invited Shaikh Abu Bakr Al-Fihri in Muharras Ibn Ash-Shawwa’ at Ath-Thagr. Abu Bakr was of those eminent Shaikhs who earnestly followed the Prophet’s example in raising his hands in Salaat. He arrived at the Thagr where I teach. The Shaikh entered the mosque and stood in the first row. And I was standing at its end near a window looking over the sea to enjoy the breeze. In the same row, there were the chief of the sea crew Abu Thamnah, his deputy and some members of the crew waiting for the Imaam to...

‘Listen! Send Blessings on the Prophet, your Lord will Relieve it.”

Shaykh Saleh Al-Meghamsi (may Allah preserve him), Imam of Masjid Quba in Madinah, went through such a humbling, lesson-laden moment that leaves us with much to reflect on. He relates his story saying: I was in the intensive care unit, just beginning to regain consciousness after undergoing a 24 hour open-heart surgery, when the nurse in charge of me noticed a change in the blood. He informed a doctor, who informed another. A third doctor was then called, until 14 people, among them doctors and professionals, had gathered to discuss what they should do regarding my case. They were reading the...

Blessings Upon Al-Mustapha, Our Beloved Messenger, The Divinely Chosen

From a distance you notice his eyes – piercing, brilliant and engaging. The choicest Praise and Mercy of Allah be upon him.

An army of men, horses and elephants ruthlessly march towards the city of Makkah, intending to wipe it out of existence. This is the army of the Abysinnian warlord Abraha, who after conquering Yemen is now advancing towards the sacred city of Makkah.

The Importance and Benefits of Studying Seerah

“Of course I love him!” this is the answer of any Muslim when asked, “Do you love the Prophet (Sal Allahu Alayhi Wa Sallam)”, but do we really love him (Sal Allahu Alayhi Wa Sallam)? Do we really know who he was enough to love him (Sal Allahu Alayhi Wa Sallam)? It is natural that when a person claims or displays love for another individual that he or she would want to know him better. In the same way one who claims to love the Prophet Muhammad (Sal Allahu Alayhi Wa Sallam) has to know this individual if he really...

Seerah and Hadeeth: What is the Difference?

If Seerah1 is defined as the life or way the Prophet (SAW) lived, then what is the difference between Seerah and Hadith2 or even the Sunnah3? The Seerah is a collection of narrations about the people and events surrounding the Prophet (SAW) arranged in a chronological order. The amount of rigor put into authenticating and analyzing the chains and narrators4 of an incident or event that is found in the Seerah is far lower than when a narration is used in the Sunnah or Hadith. Only the top of the top narrations, namely Sahih5 or Hasan6 are used in the...

As time continues to follow its course and the last day swiftly approaches, Muslims are increasingly facing violent and dark winds which wish to throw them off from the ocean of belief, righteousness and conviction unto the shore of disbelief, confusion and immorality. Some Muslims have become weak in the face of these winds; the darkness engulfs them and the winds easily sway them. In truth, they have been hurled away into an identity crisis and they have forgotten the fleeting nature of this world. This group can’t offer a solution to the problems Muslims face today since they permeate...

No-one Dearer Than The Messenger of Allah

“The Iraqi convoy left for Pilgrimage to the House of Allah in the year 394 H. It was a time of great fear and anxiety due to the presence of Bedouins and thieves that targeted the Pilgrims. After they completed their Hajj, the leader of the convoy decided to return quickly to Baghdad and not to head towards the Prophetic Medina out of fear of being ambushed by these thieves. When the convoy reached the crossroad that would lead to the Prophetic Medina, two young men [from the convoy] stood at that road and recited:"It was not [proper] for the...
