Salam to all…

There is a hadees of prophet(peace be upon him) that "whoever act upon my single sunnah in times of hardships and difficulties…he will get the same reward as a 100 shaheeds "…

     And you know the reward of a single shaheed in the way of allah is direct jannah(if not debt on him) as shadat removes every sin ...so you can imagine the sawab of 100 shaheeds..and thats too easy...just if we start following one sunnah in difficult times.....

        can we today start getting this 100 shaeeds reward.....

Re: 100 shaheeds ......take it !!!!!!

Sunnah of Clothings

1.In Islam the dress of women and men is different. It is haraam for women to wear men’s clothes, and for men to wear women’s. This is absolutely forbidden. Nabi-Kareem (Salalahoalawasalam) referred to those who do this, saying “Allah curses such a people”.

2.Silk clothes are forbidden for men. Fabrics containing silk should therefore be avoided since they are haraam.

3.Women must not wear such thin fabric that their clothes become see-through. A dress which allows the body or figure to be seen is haraam. Once Asma came to see Hadhrat Aisha Siddeeqa (Radiallahanha) , the wife of the Prophet, wearing a thin dress of this sort. On account of this Aisha Siddeequa (Radiallahanha) said to her, “Go away and change your clothes, for this is not an appropriate dress for a lady. You cannot enter our house dressed this way.”

4.The definition of the Muslim dress is that it covers your body properly. That is, your satr should not be visible (the whole body except face, hands and feet for women, and from navel to knee for men).

5.Covering the satr properly means ensuring that the outline of your figure should not show. Islamic dress must thus be very loose.

6.Men must not wear gold, and here too it is haraam to perform salaat if doing so.

7.Women can wear any dress which covers their whole body except clothes which resemble the kaafir’s. For example, skirts or jeans are the dress of the kaafir and should not be worn( i have a bit disagreement at this point). A women should wear proper Muslim clothes such as the shalwar-kameez, or a long dress and pyjama-bottom. These clothes should always be worn, both inside and outside the house. She should also wear a scarf to cover her head. When she goes out, she should wear the burqah (a full length, loose outer covering for women), which acts as a veil for her whole body. This is a must for women, and if they do not do this, then it is haraam and a very bad and sinful act. What will happen to such women? It is said in a Hadeeth that those women who do not cover their heads, or the parts of the body ordered to be covered by Allah, will be paraded naked in front of everybody on doomsday. Everyone will be watching them. Then all these women will be thrown into a well that will be full of fire and snakes and there they will be burned. Astaghfirullah.

8.The Prophet always preferred white clothes. That does not mean you cannot wear other colours - you can. But mostly you should wear white, especially when going to the mosque, or when praying. You are allowed to wear all colours. The exception is bright red, which is forbidden in Islam for men . Do not wear red since it is haraam and the Prophet does not like it.( disliking ..i think do not make it haram) . You can wear all other colours, including black.

9.The Holy Prophet (Salaal Laahu Alaihi Wa Salaam) also used to wear the Kurta (also known as kameez) - the long shirt reaching down to between the knees and ankles. It has no folded collar or cuffs like the European style shirt, and is worn with the top button open . This long Kurta is not like the prevalent Arab style. It is slit at the sides and has a straight cut. The sleeves reach to between the wrist and the palm. And to repeat, it should be white.

And underneath, the Prophet used to wear the ‘Tahmad’ or Dhoti (also known as lungi or sarong). But he also gave permission for us to wear pyjama style trousers, also known as shalwar. You can wear a straight, warm garment in the shape of trousers, but you should make sure it does not reach below the ankles. Nevertheless the best thing, if there is no reason not to, is to wear the tahmad, shalwar or pyjama, especially in the mosque. These are the best form of dress since they are the Prophet’s dress. You should try hard to practise wearing the tahmad when you come to the mosque or are in the house, since there is more blessing from Allah in it.
Finally, the Prophet used to wear the amaamah. We wear the amaamah because our Prophet said to wear the Amaamah, and his Sahaaba wore it too. Also, Rasoolullah (salalahoalawasalam) said that if you perform salaah wearing the Amaamah, you get 70 times more reward.
Also, always start from the right side when putting something on. This is the correct way. For example, put on a kurta with your right hand first, or a shalwar with your right leg first.
When you take off your clothes, then too you should say “Bismillahir-Rahmaanir-Raheem”. Why? Well obviously once you have taken off your clothes, you are going to be naked. It is stated in a Hadeeth that the Jinn and the shaytaan that are there in your room will go blind when you say “Bismillahir-Rahmaanir-Raheem”. They will therefore not see you naked and thus you will be saved from their gaze. How graceful Islam is, but we do not take care in these matters. We just quickly take off our clothes, thus letting shaytaan come and see. That is why we do bad things, why we are not good in attendance of salah with jamaat, why we are not regular in our salaah. We ourselves are like shaytaan, due to the fact that we are not performing our actions in the proper way. So always when you take off your clothes, say “Bismillahir-Rahmaanir-Raheem”.
Now when you have new clothes to wear, it is best to keep them to wear first on Jumu’ah. Start from a Jumu’ah when wearing a new pair of shoes, a new shirt, a new cap, a new Amaamah or new socks. Whatever clothing you have that is new, start wearing it from either Jumu’ah or from Eidain (Eid-ul-Fitr and Eid-ul-Adha).

15.Next, be careful with your clothes once you have taken them off . Sometimes we take off our trousers and shirts and just cast them aside untidily - this is haraam. Nabi-e-Kareem (Salalahoalawasalam) said that if you leave your clothes like that, scattered here and there and not cared for, then the shaytaan comes and wears them. So how would you like it if a dirty shaytaan were to wear your coat - would you then be happy to wear it? How soiled that garment would be. For this reason a Muslim should, when taking off his clothes, hang them up nicely on hangers and put them away. Now when shaytaan wears something it becomes dirty, so when you then wear it to go for your prayer, how can you expect to get satisfaction in that prayer? That is why some people say “Oh, I pray five times, I do the Dhikr etc., but I still don’t feel right”. It is because they are not properly practising the Sunnah. Somewhere their practice is faulty and thus shaytaan encroaches on them. The Sunnah is a castle by which you can save yourself from shaytaan. So whenever you take off your clothes, keep them properly in their place, and fold them nicely in the corner or on hangers - and do so saying “Bismillah”.

Re: 100 shaheeds ......take it !!!!!!

Sunnah of Miswak

1.One who imitates One sunnah of mine, the sunnah of using the miswaak, as a result of this action he will remember the Kalima at the time of death."

2.Abdullah bin Mas'ood (Radi Allah Anhu) once called out; "come let me teach you a piece of knowledge that will make you successful in the hereafter."

At this all of the Sahaba gathered around, anxious to know what piece of knowledge was about to be revealed.

Abdullah bin Mas'ood (Radi Allah Anhu) reached into his pocket and took out his Miswaak, and said "come let tell you how to attain Jannah, do you know how one should hold a Miswaak?" He then held the Miswaak placing his small finger at its lower end and his middle three fingers on the upper part, and then stroked his teeth with it.

He then said: "He who holds the Miswaak in this way, just as the Master (Salaal Laahu Alaihi Wa Salaam) held it and brushes his teeth with it, I Mas'ood bear witness to the fact that he will surely and most certainly enter Jannah."

3.Keep the Miswaak with you, by using it the reward of ones salaah will increase seventy fold.

Re: 100 shaheeds ......take it !!!!!!

some more sunnahs of eating

He never criticized food at all. If he liked it, he would eat it, and if he did not like it, he would leave it and not say anything. Or he would say, “I do not feel like eating this.
Sometimes he would praise the food, as when he asked his family for food, and they said, “We have nothing but vinegar.” He asked for it and started to eat it, saying, “What good food is vinegar.
He used to talk whilst he was eating, as is seen from the report quoted above about vinegar. And he said to his stepson ’Umar Ibn Abee Salamah (radiyallaahu ’anhu) when he was eating with him: “Say Bismillaah and eat from that which is in front of you in the dish.’’
He would repeatedly urge his guests to eat, as generous hosts do, and as is seen in the hadeeth of Aboo Hurayrah (radiyallaahu ’anhu), related by al-Bukhaaree, about the story of drinking milk, where he repeatedly said to him, “Drink,” and he kept telling him to drink until he (the guest) said, “By the One Who sent you with the truth, I have no more room for it!”
When he ate with others, he would not leave until he had made du’aa (supplication) for them. He made du’aa in the house of ’Abdullaah Ibn Bishr, and said: “O Allaah, bless for them that which You have provided for them, forgive them and have mercy on them.”

He commanded people to eat with their right hands and forbade them to eat with their left hands. He said, “The Shaytaan eats with his left hand and drinks with his left hand.” This implies that eating with the left hand is haraam (unlawful), and this is the correct view, because the one who eats with his left hand is either a shaytaan (devil), or he is imitating the Shaytaan. It was also reported in an authentic hadeeth that he told a man who was eating with his left hand in his presence, “Eat with your right hand!” The man said, “I cannot.” He said, “May you never be able to,” and the man never lifted his right hand to his mouth after that. If it was permissible (to eat with the left hand), he would not have prayed against him for doing so. It was the man’s stubborn arrogance that made him refuse to obey the command, and this is the utmost disobedience which deserved this prayer against him.

6.He commanded those who complained that they never felt full to eat together and not separately, and to mention the name of Allaah (say Bismillaah) over the food so that He might bless it for them

It was also reported that he said, “I do not eat reclining

8.He used to eat using the first three fingers (of his right hand), which is the best way of eating

Re: 100 shaheeds ......take it !!!!!!

The Holy Prophet expressed dislike for over-eating and said that over-eating is ill luck and misfortune. In other words, a person who over eats will be followed by such faults and defects that he will have difficulty and hardship in every place and people will look at him in a bad way
The Holy Prophet used to eat with three fingers, and before wiping and cleaning his hand he used to lick his blessed fingers.
Whenever food is very hot, it should be left covered for a while, so that the emission of steam finishes. In doing so, the Holy Prophet has said that this is a method in which barakah may be gained.
The people eating should not get up before the table cloth has been lifted.
One should not drink from a water container by putting his mouth on it.
The same prohibition has been applied to placing the mouth on and drinking from a spouted jug, or a goblet meaning a long necked flask or a bottle etc
One should not breathe into a utensil or blow into it. One should also refrain from placing his mouth on a utensil that is cracked or broken. Many people have the habit of standing up and drinking, one should also refrain from this act.
Hazrat Huzaifa has mentioned that the Holy Prophet prevented us from eating and drinking in gold and silver utensils. This order is for both men and women.

Re: 100 shaheeds ......take it !!!!!!

The Prophet (saas) (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) used to teach the Sunnah to his companions in word and deed, and urged them to follow it, as he said in his hadeeth: “Adhere to my Sunnah” and “Whoever neglects my Sunnah does not belong to me.” ‘Abd-Allaah ibn Mas’ood (may Allaah be pleased with him) narrated that the Messenger of Allaah (saas) (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said: “There is no Prophet whom Allaah sent to any nation before me, but he had disciples from among his nation, and companions who followed his Sunnah and obeyed his commands.” (Narrated by Muslim, no. 71).
