**The Forbidden and Disliked **
Volume 8, Number 6:
Narrated Al-Mughira: The Prophet(salla llahu alayhi wa sallam) said,
“Allah has forbidden you ( 1 ) to be undutiful to your mothers (2) to
withhold (what you should give) or (3) demand (what you do not
deserve), and (4) to bury your daughters alive. And Allah has disliked
that (A) you talk too much about others (B), ask too many questions
(in religion), or (C) waste your property.”
(Bukhari)
Thanks Saadia.
This is important especially the last line of the hadith. We people like to ask questions which have nothing to do with religion. These questions cause the real focussing and fighting over petty issues. I pray that Allah save us all from this disaster of our minds. Ameen.

Prophet Muhammad said, "Whoever has oppressed another person concerning
his
reputation or anything else, he should beg him to forgive him before
the
Day of Resurrection when there will be no money (to compensate for
wrong
deeds), but if he has good deeds, those good deeds will be taken from
him
in proportion to the oppression which he has done, and if he has no
good
deeds, the sins of the oppressed person will be loaded on him." (Sahih
Al-Bukhari Hadith - Hadith 3.629, Narrated by Abu Huraira)
Al-Tirmidhi Hadith - Hadith 5039
Narrated by Az-Zubayr
Allah's Messenger (peace be upon him) said, "The disease of the peoples before you, namely envy and hatred, has crept to you, and it is the unhappy thing. I do not say that it shaves off the hair, but it shaves off the religion."
Ahmad and Tirmidhi transmitted it
Few more, but short Ahadith to share:
1: Every religion has a distinctive quality, and the distinctive quality of Islam is modesty. -[al-Bayhaqi, Ibn Majah and in Malik's Muwatta]
2: Abu Hurayrah (RA) reported that Prophet (saw) said: The world is a prison for the believers and a paradise for the disbelievers. - [Muslim]
3: Once a man asked the Prophet (saw), "What is Emaan?" and he replied, "When your good deeds make you happy and your bad deeds make you sad, you have Emaan. -[Ahmad]
4: A believer never stops seeking knowledge until they enter Paradise. - [al-Tirmidhi].
5: Do not pursue material things too much or else you will be absorbed by the world. - [al-Tirmidhi].
6: The key to Paradise is salah (prayer), and the key to salah is cleanliness. -[Ahmad]
Insha Allah, I will share some more in future.

*GUIDANCE FOR THE MUSLIM WIFE (1) *
SAYINGS OF RASULULLAH (SALLALLAHU ALAIHI WASALLAM)
Rasulullah Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam was extremely
merciful upon the ummah. He said "You all are about to
fall into the fire and I am holding your backs and
preventing you from falling into it". Rasulullah's
Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam favour upon the ummat was
that he showed men and women the way to lead their
lives. Here are a few Ahaadith advising women:
HADEETH 1. Rasulullah Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam
said that the woman who performed her five daily
prayers and kept the fast of Ramadan and protected
herself from evil acts i.e. adultery and obeyed her
husband, has a choice to enter heaven from whichever
door she pleases. (HULYA)
HADEETH 2. Rasulullah Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam
said: " A woman has two veils: the first is the
husband and the second is the grave. The one that
conceals more is the grave." (TABRANI)
HADEETH 3. Nabi Kareem Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam
said: "A religious widow is addressed as a martyr in
the heavens" i.e. she is remembered with the
honourable title of a martyr in heaven for any act
she performs.
HADEETH 4. Ibn Abbas Radhiallahu anhu narrates that a
woman came to Rasulullah Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam
and said:"I have come as a representative of all
women. We want to present a petition to you. Jihaad is
fardh (compulsory) on men and only they obtain the
reward of martyrdom. We women are deprived of it
although we take responsibility for all their domestic
affairs". Rasulullah Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam said:
"Convey this message on my behalf to all the women
that they can achieve the reward of jihaad by obeying
their husbands, but very few women consider this to be
a reward."
HADEETH 5. It is reported from Hazrat Ibn Umar
Radhiallahu Anhu that Rasulullah Sallallahu Alaihi
Wasallam said that when a woman leaves her home
without her husband's consent then all the angels of
the skies and the entire universe curse her for this
act until she returns home. (TABRANI).
HADEETH 6. Rasulullah Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam said
that the fragrance of heaven will be forbidden for a
woman who asks her husband for divorce without any
valid reason. (TIRMIZI)
HADEETH 7. Rasulullah Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam said
that if a woman died and her husband was pleased with
her during her life, undoubtedly she has entered
heaven.
HADEETH 8. Rasulullah Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam
said: "O woman, your heaven and hell is your husband"
(i.e. a woman will enter heaven if the husband is
pleased, and hell if he is displeased with her).
(TARGEEB)
HADEETH 9. Rasulullah Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam said
that the best woman is the one that pleases her
husband. When he looks at her, she pleases him. When
he commands her, she obeys him. When he absents
himself (goes away on a journey etc.) she protects his
wealth and his honour. (BAIHAQI)
HADEETH 10. The Messenger of Allah Sallallahu Alaihi
Wasallam said that Shaytaan (the devil) sits on his
throne daily and dispatches his agents to work among
human beings. One of the agents returns and says that
I made a certain person commit a sin, another says I
got so and so involved in this offence. Upon listening
to all this Shaytaan says that you have done nothing
great. Eventually one representative comes and says
that I saw a husband and wife extremely devoted to
each other. I sowed the seeds of enmity between them.
On hearing this Shaytaan becomes happy and embracing
his agent says that you have achieved something
great. (MISHKAT)
The love between husband and wife is the biggest blow
to Shaytaan. From this it is apparent how meritorious
this love is.
HADEETH 11. Rasulullah Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam
said: The woman who applies perfume and passes by men
is an adulteress. (TIRMIZI).
Today the woman who applies perfume and goes to the
shopping centres, alleys and cinemas should ponder how
grave a sin she is committing.
HADEETH 12. Rasulullah Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam
said: "Once I saw a ghair mahram (strange) man and a
young woman together in a place. Consequently I had a
strong fear that Shaytaan will make use of this
opportunity i.e. he will besmirch their character and
destroy the honour of the woman.
HADEETH 13. Rasulullah Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam
said: Keep yourselves away from strange women. One
companion asked: "O Rasul of Allah, tell me, can the
husband's brother mix freely with his sister-in-law.
"Rasulullah Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam replied : "He
is like death for a woman." (Bukhari and Muslim)
i.e. just as partaking of poison leads to death in
this world, similarly the brother-in-law's mixing with
a woman is poison for their character and a cause of
destruction of the life of the hereafter.
HADEETH 14. Rasulullah Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam
said: "It is haram for the women of my Ummah to take a
bath in the public baths". (HAKIM)
i.e. women should keep away from places which are
frequented by ghair mahram (strange) males. What
purpose do they have in a place frequented by males?
HADEETH 15. Rasulullah (Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam)
said: Whichever woman applies scent should not join
us for the Esha prayers. (ABU DAWOOD)
During the early Islamic era, women used to perform
salaat behind Rasulullah Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam
in congregation. On that occasion Rasulullah
Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam said: "Those women who
apply perfume should not come to the musjid for
salaat," because there is a fear of instilling desire
in the hearts of men due to the sweet fragrance of the
perfume and this will be a cause of corruption. If
Rasulullah Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam prevented women
who applied perfume from attending the musjid during
his noble era, there will be a greater need for
precaution in this age of corruption.
