Deeds Which Are Equal To The Reward Of Hajj

Abu Umamah narrated that the Messenger of Allaah [ﷺ] said:

«مَنْ خَرَجَ مِنْ بَيْتِهِ مُتَطَهِّرًا إِلَى صَلَاةٍ مَكْتُوبَةٍ فَأَجْرُهُ كَأَجْرِ الْحَاجِّ الْمُحْرِمِ، وَمَنْ خَرَجَ إِلَى تَسْبِيحِ الضُّحَى لَا يَنْصِبُهُ إِلَّا إِيَّاهُ فَأَجْرُهُ كَأَجْرِ الْمُعْتَمِرِ، وَصَلَاةٌ عَلَى أَثَرِ صَلَاةٍ لَا لَغْوَ بَيْنَهُمَا كِتَابٌ فِي عِلِّيِّينَ.‏»

❝Whoever leaves his home having Wudu going to pray the obligatory prayer then his reward is equal to the person performing Hajj whilst in the state of Ihram.

Whoever goes out to pray the Dhuha prayer in the Masjid nothing tires him out except that then his reward is that of a person performing Umrah.

Praying a prayer after another prayer where no falsehood takes place between them then that is written in the Book of good deeds.❞

[Collected By Abu Dawood | Sh. Al-Albānī Graded: 'Hasan' In Saheeh Targheeb, (No. 320) | Translated By Abbas Abu Yahya Miraath Al-Anbiyya]

The Scholar of Hadeeth, Shaykh AbdulMuhsin Al-Abbad [حفظه الله] commented:

❝This means, that whoever performed Wudu and went out to the Masjid wanting to perform a prayer from the obligatory prayers, which Allaah has obligated upon him, which are the five prayers. For this, his reward is like the reward of a person in the state of Ihraam performing the Hajj who wears the clothing of Hajj.

This means, that Allaah [تعالى] rewards the similar to a person in the state of Ihraam Performing the Hajj.

One person went out to perform an obligatory prayer and the person in the state of Ihraam went out to perform a great worship, so the reward of that person is similar to the reward of this person. Allaah’s virtue is vast.❞

NEVER GO TO BED WITHOUT PRAYING WITR.

● Umm Salamah (radiAllahuanha) narrated:

"The Prophet (sallallaahu alayhiwa sallam) would perform Witr with thirteen [Rak'ah]. When he was older and became weak he performed Witr with seven." [Jami at-Tirmidhi 457, 458, Grade: Sahih]

● Masruq (radiAllahuanhu) said:

I asked 'Aishah (radiAllahuanha): "When would the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) observe the witr prayer?" She replied: "Any time he observed the witr, sometimes in the early hours of the night, sometimes at midnight and sometimes towards the end of it. But he used to observe the witr just before the dawn when he died."
[Sunan Abi Dawud 1435, Grade: Sahih (Al-Albani)]

● Narrated from Ibn Umar (radiAllahuanhuma):

The Prophet (ﷺ) said: "Witr is one rak'ah at the end of the night." [Sunan an-Nasa'i 1689, Grade: Sahih]

● Narrated by Aa'isha (radiallahuanha):

The Prophet (ﷺ) used to offer thirteen rakat of the night prayer and that included the witr and two rakat (Sunna) of the Fajr prayer.
[Sahih al-Bukhari 1140]

● Ibn Umar (radiAllahuanhuma) narrated:

A man asked the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) about prayers at night, and he said: "Two by two, then if one of you fears that dawn will come, let him pray witr with one."[Sunan an-
Nasa'i 1670, Grade: Sahih].

Giving Charity on Fridays

Ibn al-Qayyim (rahimahullah) said:

Giving charity on Friday has a special merit compared to other days,

just as giving charity during the month of Ramadan has a higher merit compared to the rest of the year.

I witnessed Shaykh al-Islam Ibn Taymiyyah (rahimahullah)

when he would go out for Jumuaah,

he would take whatever he found at home—be it bread or anything else—and give it as charity in secret on his way.

I heard him say:

“If Allah commanded us to give charity before consulting with the Messenger of Allah (sallAllahu ‘alayhi wa sallam) (58:12),

then giving charity before consulting with Allah is even more virtuous and deserving of merit”

[Ibn al-Qayyim (rahimahullah), Zaad al-Maad, 1/399]

Ibn ul-Qayyim (rahimahullah) said:

If the one giving charity knew that his charity landed in the Hand of Allah before the hand of the poor person (48:10),

the pleasure of the giver would be greater than the pleasure of the receiver.

[Ibn ul-Qayyim (rahimahullah), al-Madarij as-Salikeen, 1/26]

ʿAbdullāh Ibn ‘Abbās (radiAllahuanhuma) said:

"Love for Allāh, hate for Allāh -

Make your enmity because of Allāh, make your allegiance because of Allāh; For indeed, love and support of Allāh is not achieved except in this manner. And a man will never taste true faith (īmān) although he may pray, fast much – except when he is like this. Today, people’s brotherhood is based upon worldly considerations (dunyā), but this will not do anything for them on the Day of Resurrection.”

A man said to Ibraheem ibn Adham رحمه الله:

“I cannot get up to perform the night prayers, can you explain to me the cure?!’ Ibraheem ibn Adham رحمه الله said: ‘Do not disobey ALLAH ( ﷻ ) during the day and He will give you the ability to stand before Him during the night; for your standing before Him at night is one of the greatest honours and the disobedient one is not deserving of such an honour.’”

Faslul-Khitāb fi Zuhd war-Raqā’iq wal-Adāb 9/400

It was narrated from Umm Habibah, the wife of the Prophet (ﷺ), that the Prophet (ﷺ) said:
“The words of the son of Adam count against him, not for him, except what is good and forbidding what is evil, and remembering Allah.”
Sunan Ibn Majah, 3974

It was narrated that Abu Al-Aliyah said:
"Ibn Abbas said: "On the morning of Al-Aqabah, while he was on his mount, the Messenger of Allah said to me: "Pick up (some pebbles) for me." So I picked up some pebbles for him that were the size of date stones or fingertips, and when I placed them in his hand he said: "Like these. And beware of going to extremes in religious matters, for those who came before you were destroyed because of going to extremes in religious matters."

Narrated by Abu Huraira (Radiallahu'anhu):
The Prophet Muhammad (ﷺ) said, "Religion is very easy and whoever overburdens himself in his religion will not be able to continue in that way. So you should not be extremists, but try to be near to perfection and receive the good tidings that you will be rewarded; and gain strength by worshipping in the mornings, the afternoons, and during the last hours of the nights."

Ibn al-Qayyim رحمه الله:

‎"Ibn Taymiyyah used to race towards the fulfilling of people's needs very earnestly,

‎because he knew that every time he helped someone else, Allāh would help him."

‎[Rawdatul Muhibbeen | 1/168]

‎This is written specifically for you:

هذا العالم محدود بالزمن
This world is limited by time.

‎هذه الحياة الدنيا زائلة
This worldly life is fleeting.

‎فاجعلها في طاعة الله
Use it upon obedience.

‎وعلّم نفسك القناعة
And teach your soul contentment.

Ibn al-Jawzi, in Disciplining the Soul, warned against the disease of wanting more, saying: “He who spends days hoarding wealth out of fear of poverty lives in poverty itself.”

He observed how people exhaust themselves chasing wealth, yet never attain what they desire, often dying on the path of greed, leaving behind all they worked for.

Today, we may not cross deserts or load mules, but we still chase endlessly—more wealth, more status, more possessions. We waste time longing for what we don’t have: a better job, a richer or prettier spouse, a bigger home. Yet we neglect what we do have—our families, our blessings, our deen.

Ibn al-Qayyim reminds us: “Patience is half of Īmān, and gratitude is the other half.” (عدّة الصّابرين وذخيرة الشّاكرين).

Gratitude shifts our focus from what we lack to what we have, fostering contentment and a heart rich with appreciation.

A wise person reflects on the brevity of life and the permanence of the Hereafter. This world is but a bridge, and no one makes a bridge their home.

The Prophets lived this wisdom. Prophet Nūh stayed content in a wool house for 950 years. Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) lived in a simple mud house, and many days passed in his household without a fire being lit because there was no food to cook.

They understood that true wealth lies not in the possession of luxuries but in the richness of the heart.

‎قال النّبيّ صلّى الله عليه وسلّم:
The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said:

‎لَيْسَ الْغِنَى عَنْ كَثْرَةِ الْعَرَضِ،
True wealth is not in the abundance of possessions,

‎وَلَكِنَّ الْغِنَى غِنَى النَّفسِ
But true wealth is the richness of the soul.

🔺 *Debt is a very serious matter, indeed*🔺
By Asma bint Shameem

Many people have adopted a very casual approach to being in debt and take out loans, not for some urgent need, but because they want to unnecessarily keep up with others in buying bigger homes, faster cars, more furniture or clothes or other temporary luxuries of this life.

But taking loans and being in debt is a GRAVE matter.

Islaam takes the matter of debt very seriously and warns against it and urges the Muslim to avoid it as much as possible.

And I am NOT talking about taking an “interest based” loan.
That is forbidden for SURE.

The kind of loan I am talking about is one WITHOUT interest, one that does NOT involve Ribaa;
The kind that is *allowed*, yet *discouraged* in Islaam.

And yet, we don’t see it as such.

🔺 *1) The Prophet (Sal Allaahu Alaiyhi wa Sallam) used to seek protection from it.

The Prophet (Sal Allaahu Alaiyhi wa Sallam) used to say in his prayer:

اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَعُوذُ بِكَ مِنَ الْمَأْثَمِ وَالْمَغْرَمِ

“Allaahumma inni a’oodhi bika min al-ma’tham wa’l-maghram

“O Allaah, I seek refuge with You from sin and heavy debt.”

Someone said to him: “How often you seek refuge from heavy debt!”

He said: “When a man gets into debt, he speak and tells lies, and he makes a promise and breaks it.”
(al-Bukhaari and Muslim).

🔺 2) The person in debt will not enter Jannah until the debt is paid off!

Muhammad ibn Jahsh radhi Allaahu anhu said:

“We were sitting with the Messenger of Allaah Sal Allaahu Alaiyhi wa Sallam when he raised his head towards the sky, then he put his palm on his forehead and said:

“Subhaan-Allaah!

What a strict issue has been revealed to me!”

We remained silent and were afraid. The following morning I asked him:

“O Messenger of Allaah, what is this strict issue that has been revealed?”

He said,

“By the One in Whose hand is my soul, if a man were killed in battle for the sake of Allaah, then brought back to life, then killed and brought back to life again, then killed, and he owed a debt, he would not enter Jannah until his debt was paid off.” (al-Nasaa’i- hasan by al-Albaani)

🔺 3) The Prophet (Sal Allaahu Alaiyhi wa Sallam) didn’t pray his Janazah!

The Prophet (Sal Allaahu Alaiyhi wa Sallam) did not lead the funeral prayer for someone who had died owing three dinars, until Abu Qataadah radhi Allaahu anhu said:

O Allah's Messenger! Lead his funeral prayer, and I will pay his debt." So, he led the salat (prayer).
(al-Bukhaari)

🔺 4) Freedom from debt makes entry into Jannah EASY.

The Prophet sal Allaahu Alayhi wa sallam said:

“Whoever dies free from three things – arrogance, cheating and debt – will enter Jannah.”
(al-Tirmidhi (1572); saheeh by al-Albaani)

🔺 5) The soul of the one in debt is suspended!

The Prophet (Sal Allaahu Alaiyhi wa Sallam) said:

“Your companion is being detained by his debt.” (Abu Dawood- hasan by al-Albaani).

And he said:

“The soul of the believer is held hostage by his debt in his grave until it is paid off.”
(at-Tirmidhi: saheeh by al-Albaani)

🍃 Explaining this hadeeth al-Suyooti said:

“It (soul) is detained and kept from reaching its noble destination.

🍃 Al-‘Iraaqi said:

“No judgment is passed as to whether it will be saved or doomed until it is determined whether his debt will be paid off or not.”

🔺 Statements of Sahaabah regarding debt

🍃 Umar ibn al-Khattaab said:

“Beware of debt, for it starts with worry and it ends with war.”
(Maalik in al-Muwatta).

🍃 And Ibn ‘Umar said:

“O Humraan, fear Allaah and do not die in debt, lest it be taken from your good deeds when there will be no dinars and no dirhams.”

🔺 When is taking a loan permissible?

The Ulama warn us about how difficult the issue of debt is, and that it should not be undertaken except in cases of necessity.

Based on this, there are three conditions for debt to be permissible:

🍃 1- The borrower should be determined to repay it.

🍃 2- It should be known or thought most likely that he is able to repay it,

🍃 3- It should be for something that is permissible according to Sharee’ah.

🔺 Ibn ‘Abd al-Barr said:

“The debt for which a person will be kept out of Paradise – and Allaah knows best – is that for which he left behind enough to pay it off but he did not leave instructions to that effect, or he was able to pay it off but did not do so, or he took the loan for some unlawful or extravagant matter and died without having paid it off.

As for the one who took a loan for something lawful because he was poor, and he died without leaving behind anything to pay it off, Allaah will not keep him from Paradise because of it, in sha Allaah.”

So take a loan only when absolutely necessary.

And if you are in a situation of debt right now, try your utmost best to pay off your debts as soon as possible.

Strive hard to pay it off, don’t take it lightly, put your trust in Allaah, and pray to Him to make it easy for you to pay off your debt.

🍃 The Prophet (Sal Allaahu Alaiyhi wa Sallam) said:

“The one who takes people’s wealth intending to pay it back, Allaah will pay it back for him, and the one who takes it intending to destroy it, Allaah will destroy him.”
(al-Bukhaari).

There are a number of duas in the Sunnah that the Prophet (Sal Allaahu Alaiyhi wa Sallam) used to make to help him stay away from all kinds of debt and to pay off any debts a person may have.

We should try and read those duaas and do our best to pay off our debts we may have, as soon as possible.

May Allaah help us to do that. Ameen.

And Allaah knows best

Ibn al-Jawzī رحمه الله said:

‎”Do not let your past (carelessness) make you lose hope of achieving good for many people have come back to wakefulness after a long sleep.”

‎[📖Awaking from the Sleep of Heedlessness, Pg. 58]

Follow the Sunnah of cleaning ur teeth with miswaak and teach ur kids as well

When you find yourself in a position to help someone , whether it is a financial support or emotional support , be happy that Allah is answering that person's prayers through you ..

It was narrated that Jabir radhi Allaahu anhu said the Messenger of Allah sal Allaahu Alaiyhi wa-Sallam said the likeness of me and you is that of a man who lit a fire and grasshoppers and moths started falling into it, and he tries to push them away. I am seizing your waistband and trying to pull you away from the fire but you are trying to get away from me.

Narrated by Muslim

In this hadith the Prophet sal Allaahu Alayhi wa sallam wanted to explain, by giving the likeness, his situation with his ummah, and that he was like a man in the wilderness who lit a fire, then the grasshoppers and moths started to fall into it because that is what moths, grasshoppers and small insects usually do. If someone lights a fire in the wilderness, these insects are attracted towards that light, and the man tries to prevent them from falling into it, but they insist on falling into it. This is how the Prophet sal Allaahu Alayhi wa sallam is with his ummah: he is keen to prevent his ummah from following whims and desires and falling into sin and forbidden matters, but they try to free themselves from him and fall into that.

May Allah Subhana Wa Ta'ala protect us from being like moths ... A'ameen

*EASE IS NEAR*

ALLAH says: *"ALLĀH will grant after hardship, ease."* {Al-Talāq || Verse 7}

*"So, surely with hardship comes ease."* {Ash-Sharḥ || Verse 5}

Anas ibn Malik (may ALLĀH be pleased with him) reported: The Messenger of ALLĀH (ﷺ) was once standing over a hole and he said, *"If hardship were to enter this hole, ease would surely follow it, go inside, and take it out."* {al-Mustadrak ‘alá al-Ṣaḥīḥayn #3552}

Ibn Abbas reported: The Messenger of ALLĀH (ﷺ) said, *"Know that there is much good in being patient with what you detest, victory will come with patience, relief will come with affliction, and ‘with the hardship will come an ease.’"* (94:5) {Musnad Aḥmad #2803}

The Prophet (ﷺ) said: *"Our Lord, the Almighty, Laughs at the despair of HIS slaves while HIS Change (of their condition from difficulty to ease) is near!!"* {Silsilatul-Ahadith as-Sahīhah #2810}

Ibn al-Qayyim (may ALLĀH have mercy on him) said: *"Expecting and hoping for a time of ease. This hope in itself offers a measure of immediate relief."* {Patience and Gratitude || Page 16}

Never underestimate the power of du'a and never think things will always be difficult just because that seems to be the logical expectation after certain things happen in your life. It all comes from ALLĀH. HE has the power to make the difficult easy, and the complicated, uncomplicated. We all knew and believed HE cooled the fire for Ibrahim (peace be upon him), don’t ever think that it is difficult to have your miracle in life, whatever it is for you. Nothing is impossible for ALLĀH. HE will send you ease after whatever hardship you are experiencing. HE will make things possible that didn't seem possible to you. HE can make it happen and HE can make it easy.

When Hazrat Uthman (Ra) Used To Stand By A Grave, He Used To Cry So Much That His Beard Would Get Wet. So Once He Was Asked - You Don't Cry So Much Remembering Heaven And Hell, You Cry When You See The Grave, What Is The Reason For This?
He Said, Rasulullah ﷺ Said, The Grave Is The First Base Of The Hereafter. If One Escapes Here, All Subsequent Bases Will Be Easy For Him.
And If One Does Not Save Here Then All The Subsequent Bases Will Be Very Difficult For Him.
He Also Said, Rasulullah ﷺ Said, "The Most Horrible Thing I Saw In The Rajni Of Meraj Is The Torment Of The Grave."
O Allah, Free Us All From The Severe Punishment Of The Grave
