*"My Lord, cause me and my offspring to remain constant in prayer, and accept this my prayer.” *
] The true Muslim is one who shows genuine concern for how his children relate to their Lord and their Muslim brothers and sisters; not one whose only preoccupation is to crowd society with his own undisciplined offspring!
To have success in raising children who stand up for the rights of Allah is great prosperity. It is a measure of the magnitude of the faith in the heart of Ibrahim that his dearest wish was to have righteous children. Ordinarily, men wish for children who will become wealthy or powerful or otherwise successfully occupied with the stuff of this world. Beyond that nothing much matters to them. But the Prophets of Allah were of a different mettle, because **their concern is with the matter of faith./B
"And let no one among you be an imitator of others."
Do not transform yourself into someone who you are not: do not mimic others. Many are those that feign to forget their own voices, movements, idiosyncrasies, and habits, in order to imitate others in their ways. Among the consequences of such behaviour are artificiality, unhappiness, and a destruction of one's own entity.
From Adam to the last born baby, no two people are exactly the same in appearance. Why then should they be the same in mannerisms and tastes?
You are unique - none had been like you in the past and none shall be like you in the future. You are totally different from X and Y, so do not force upon yourself the blind following and imitation of others.
Be as you were created and do not change your voice or modify your walk. Cultivate your personality by following what is found in revelation, but do not render your existence void by imitating others and depriving yourself of your individuality.
In terms of characteristics, people are like the world of trees and plants: sweet and sour, tall and short, and so on. Your beauty and value is in preserving your natural state. Our varied colours, languages, talents, and abilities are signs from our Creator, the Almighty, All-Glorious, so do not disbelieve in them.
Imam Mustaghfiri (R.A) reports: “Whoever recites one hundred times darood daily, one hundred of his needs shall be fulfilled, thirty in this world and the rest in the Hereafter.”
Another Hadith says: “Recite darood on me plentifully for verily it shall be a light in the darkness on the siraat, and whoever desires that his deeds should weigh heavily on the scales, let him recite much darood.”
Today is Friday & we know we should recite Darood on this day, too.
& May Allah Subhanahu Wat'allah forgive me if there's any mistake.
^ Well today is Juma tul mabarik and there is lot of fazeelat of reciting darood on prophet :saw: and his family. The best one is which we say during the prayers
Specially during the time between juma and Asr prayers
There are some special wording of darood which should be recited after asr prayer prescribed in hadees. if some one knows then please share.
Thanks
