Increase your Love
Rasul Allah (sal
Allahu alaihi wa sallam) said: “By Him in whose hand is my soul, none of
you will enter Paradise until you believe (have eeman), and none of you
will believe until you love each other. Shall I not tell you
of something which if you do, will create love among you? Increase the
custom of greeting each other with ‘as-Salamu alaykum.’” [Sahih Muslim]
Let us increase our love for each other with this simple formula.
Loving our brothers and sisters, will help us gain eeman/belief and
belief is the key to Paradise. Additional recommended etiquettes of
greeting are that, "The younger person should greet the older one, and
the walking person should greet the sitting one, and the small number of
persons should greet the large number of persons." [Sahih Bukhari]
How Mountains Strengthen The Earth's Crust
The Earth's crust, the surface on which we daily walk and build our
houses safely, in fact moves on a layer called the mantle which is
denser than the crust. If there was not a system in place to keep
this motion under control, continual shocks and quakes would occur on
the Earth and the world would be a truly unlivable place. And yet, the
mountains and their extensions under the ground greatly decrease
underground movements, and hence such shocks.
Insignificant Good Deed
Rasul Allah
(sal Allahu alaihi wa sallam) said: "Save yourselves from the fire of
Hell even if it be by giving away a bit of a date, or by uttering a good
word." [Sahih Bukhari]
Innocent Till Proven Guilty
Rasul
Allah (sal Allahu alaihi wa sallam) said: “Ward off hudood as much as
you can. If you find any way out for a Muslim then set him free. If the
Imam makes a mistake in granting forgiveness it is better for him than that he should make a mistake in imposing punishment.” [Tirmidhi, Ahmed]
Magnificence Of The Luminous Creatures
One of the best-known luminous creatures is the firefly. Scientists
have spent years of research trying to produce a light as efficient as
the light produced by fireflies. Fireflies achieve maximum efficiency and lose almost no energy.
Give a Smile Instead of Chocolate
Ibn
Jaz said: “I have not seen anyone who smiled more than the Messenger of
Allah (sal Allahu alaihi wa sallam).” (Hasan) [Chapters on Al-Manaqib:
Jami At-Tirmidhi]
THE STRUCTURAL DIFFERENCES BETWEEN THE SUN, THE MOON AND THE STARS
We built seven firm layers above you. We installed a blazing lamp. (Qur'an, 78:12-13)
As we know, the only source of light in the Solar System is the Sun. With advances in
technology, astronomers discovered that the Moon was not a source of
light but that it merely reflects the light reaching it from the Sun.
The expression "lamp" in the above verse is a translation of the Arabic
word "sirajan," which most perfectly describes the Sun, the source of
light and heat.
