The Excellence of Performing Salaah (Prayers) in Congregation

The Excellence of Performing Salaah (Prayers) in Congregation

Abu Hurairah (May Allah be pleased with him) reported:

The Messenger of Allah (sallallaahu ’alayhi wa sallam) said, “A man’s Salaah in congregation is twenty-five times more rewarding than his Salaah at home or in his shop, and that is because when he performs his Wudu’ properly and proceeds towards the mosque with the purpose of performing Salaah in congregation, he does not take a step without being raised a degree (in rank) for it and having a sin remitted for it, till he enters the mosque. When he is performing Salaah, the angels continue to invoke Blessings of Allah on him as long as he is in his place of worship in a state of Wudu’. They say: `O Allah! Have mercy on him! O Allah! Forgive him.’ He is deemed to be engaged in Salaah as long as he waits for it.”

[Al-Bukhari and Muslim].

When You look at Me


 

 

When you look at me all you can see is the scard that covers my hair.

My words you can not hear because you are to full of fear, mouth gaping all you do is stare.

You think its not my choice, in your liberation you rejoice, your so thankful that you are not me,

You think that i am uneducated, trapped, opressed and subjugated, Your so thankful that you are free,

But WESTERN WOMEN, you have it all wrong, your the weak and im the strong, for i have rejected the trap of man, fancy clothes, low neck, short skirt, these are devices for pain and hurt,Im not falling for that little plan. Always jumping to the male agenda,competing on his terms, No job, No creche facilities, No feeding and nappy changing amentaties, No time off for Menstrual pain, “hormones” they laugh what a shame.No equal pay, for equal skill, Your job they can always fill, No promotion unless your sterilised, no promotion unless your sexually terrorised…and you call this LIBERATION!!

Im A person with ideas and thoughts, im not for sale and i can not be bought, i wont decorate anyones arm nor be promoted as a charm, there is more to me than playing coy.

Living life is a balancing game, who thought up this modern freedom, where man can love them and man can leave them, this is not free but love in a cage.

WESTERN women you can have your life, mine is less strife, i cover and i get respected, surely thats what is to be expected, for i wont demean the feminine, i wont life to a male criterion, i dance in my own tune and i hope you see this very soon, for your own sake wake up and use your sight/


When i walk along the way, the people just stare at me in dismay.

They think that i am forced to wear “that thing” but i actually wear it for Allah “THE KING”

Maybe they think im not free, just because i wear a head scarf on me, but thats not true, I am really free i wear it for Allah, the ALMIGHTY.

The way we dress is not to show some skin, but for people to judge us not by our body, but from within, they might call me names or even start to stare, but what keeps me going is knowing Allah is there,so when you pass me walking down the street, dont think that i am forced to cover myself up to my feet, its a simple way to be modest and humble,

So dont be next to me and start to grumble, i feel proud and tall when i wear my Hijaab. because i have nothing to expose, Now you could only judge my character and my personality and not how i dress myself, but for my morality. So this scard that i have on , ITS MY CHOICE so dont be alarmed, i feel right and true when i put my HIJAAB on from the start, its because it calmed me, purified me and soothed my heart, but really the only difference between you and me is that i cover my hair and body, so if any of you see me and hear my voice, just know what i wear is ONLY MY CHOICE,

Asalaamualaikum to my Muslim sisters and brothers in Islam. i came across a post a while back about cleansing our hearts. i thought i should share it and Inshallah help those who want to cleanse their hearts for the sake of Allah.

Your relationship with Allah depends on your heart being clean. Everytime you expose it to filth, more dirt, more blackness, more covers are poured on top of your heart and it keeps on pouring and pouring to the point where your listening to the word of Allh and you cant even get yourself to shed a single tear. It wont come because your heart has become so hard because of all the exposure to filth. All the sin that your eyes are taking in all the time.

A good heart when it sees something inappropriate that doesnt coincide with the commandments of Allah, it is disturbed.

He knows the stealing of the eyes, that little glance you caught, and he knows what the chests are hiding.

We need to fix ourselves and keep those forbidden things away from us before our hearts become to hard. if that means unfollowing those people who have been a negative force in your life in order to set yourself right then that is the path you should take.

We should always remember that Allah sees everything before we even intend for it or before we even act upon it.

This is also a good preparation for the month of Ramadan that we should constantly be cleansing our hearts Inshallah. Have a good pure heart is what a true believer should have and having a good pure heart will help us be more productive in the month of Ramadan.

Inshallah
