Always Be Thankful to ALLAH

When Allah has chosen you to be guided, this wasn’t because you were special. This is plain mercy from Allah which can be taken away any moment from you. Therefore, don’t think too high of your good deeds and never look down at those who were less fortunate and not guided. Remember that you were once one of them so praise Allah who guided you and ask Him to keep you steadfast. - Assim AlHakeem [not a hadith]

Another common mistake some Muslims make While offering Salah/Namaz

Another common mistake some Muslims make while they're engaged in prayer is that they don't properly cover their awrah. For example, some men wear small sized shirts and while it may cover them while they're standing, their lower back becomes exposed when they go down into sajda/prostration, potentially exposing their awrah and potentially invalidating their prayer. So let's make an effort to properly cover ourselves when we engage in the salaah/namaz, in'sha'Allah! [not a hadith]

Things once should avoid while offering Salah/Namaz/Prayers

Continuing our theme, another common mistake some people make when they pray salah/namaz is that when they are in sajda/prostration, they lift their toes up off the ground. However, we are required to keep our toes touching the ground as we have been ordered to prostrate upon seven limbs and the toes are counted as 2 of them! Furthermore, it's recommend to try to point your toes towards the qiblah while in sajda too! [not a hadith]

Good Deeds

Good deeds without sincerity is like a traveller who carries a water container full of dirt. Carrying it is a burden and brings them no benefit. - Ibn al-Qayyim [not a hadith]

Daughter to perform Hajj for Mother's vowed

It has been narrated that a woman came to the Prophet (SAW) and said, "My mother vowed to perform the Hajj but she died before performing it. Should I perform the Hajj on her behalf?" He was reported to have said, "Yes! Perform the Hajj on her behalf. See, if your mother had been in debt, would you have paid her debt?" She said, "Yes." He was reported to have said, "So you should pay what is for Him as Allah has more right that one should fulfill one's obligations to Him." [for the actual hadith, see Bukhari]

Allahu Akbar!

A Muslim's Characteristics

Abdullah ibn Amr narrated, "A Muslim is the one who avoids harming Muslims with his tongue or his hands. And a Muhajir (an emigrant) is the one who gives up (abandons) all what Allah has forbidden" [see Bukhari Vol 8 Book 76 No 491] 

So if we were to consider ourselves on these conditions, could we comfortably say that we fulfill this characteristic of a Muslim? How about a Muhajir? (a reminder to myself first and foremost, in'sha'Allah)

Task after Salah/Prayers

Did you know its desirable to say "Subhan'Allah" "Alhamdulillah" "AllahuAkbar" 33 times after each fardh salah/prayer? For the 100th thing, you can say "La ilaaha illallahu wahdahu la shareeka lahu, lahul-mulku wa lahul-hamdu wa Huwa 'aala kullishay'in Qadeer" So let's try to implement this awesome dhikr into our daily routine for some (or all!) of our daily prayers, in'sha'Allah!

My Lord, have mercy upon them as they brought me up [when I was] small
