Why Jewelries is haram for men

Abdullah ibn ‘Abbaas reported that the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) saw a gold ring on a man’s hand. He took it off and threw it aside, saying, "Would any of you take a burning coal and hold it in his hand?" When the Messenger of Allaah (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) had gone away, someone said to the man, "Take your ring and benefit from it (i.e., sell it)." He said, "No, by Allaah, I will not take it after the Messenger of Allaah (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) has thrown it away." (reported by Muslim, no. 2090).

‘Abdullah ibn ‘Amr ibn al’Aas reported that the Messenger of Allaah (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said: "Whoever of my ummah wears gold and dies wearing it, Allaah will deny him the gold of Paradise. Whoever of my ummah wears silk and dies wearing it, Allaah will deny him the silk of Paradise." (Reported by Imaam Ahmad)

Al-Bukhaari (5435) narrated that Ibn ‘Abbaas (may Allah be pleased with him) said: The Messenger of Allah (blessings and peace of Allah be upon him) cursed men who imitate women and women who imitate men.

According to a report also narrated by al-Bukhaari (5436), the Prophet (blessings and peace of Allah be upon him) cursed effeminate men and masculinized women and he said: “Expel them from your houses.”

Anas (may Allaah be pleased with him) said: “When the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) wanted to send a letter to the Romans, he was told that they would not read any letter unless it had a seal on it, so he took a ring of silver. It is as if I can see it shining on his hand, and engraved on it were the words ‘Muhammad the Messenger of Allaah.’” (Narrated by al-Bukhaari, 5537; Muslim 2092)

It was narrated that Ibn ‘Abbaas (may Allah be pleased with him) said: The Messenger of Allah (blessings and peace of Allah be upon him) cursed men who imitate women and women who imitate men.” Narrated by al-Bukhaari, 5885.

Wearing necklace by man is not popular and as such not our custom. I'll advice such man to desist from it.

Tips on how to concentrate during salat

10 TIPS ON HOW TO CONCENTRATE DURING SALAT (PRAYERS)"

1. Before standing up for Prayer, try to deal with all the minor urgent matters which demand your attention. If you are pressed by
hunger, eat first; if you are pressed to attend to the ...call of nature, relieve yourself; if you are
the parent of an infant, feed him or her, or keep him or her busy.

2. Perform your wudu’ (ablution) well, paying due care and attention.

3. Approach the Prayer with zest and passion as if it is the last prayer in your life before dying. Actually the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) taught us that we
could do nothing in this world that could ever surpass Prayer in merit and excellence.

4. Visualize that in your Prayer you
are going to have a special audience with Allah, Lord of the worlds, and that you are enjoying a direct communion with Him—which,
in fact, is true.

5. Think of the Prayer you are performing as if it were the last Prayer of your life. In fact, it
could very well be the last one, since no one is given a guarantee that he would live to perform another Prayer.

6. Picture the scene of the Last Day
when people will be lined up into two groups, one destined for Heaven, and another for Hell,
and ask yourself where you would be placed.

7. Focus your mind on what you are reading in your Prayer and recite simple suurats that you understand it's meaning and ponder on the
meaning whiles u recite.

8. If, in spite of your best efforts, your mind is still wandering, seek refuge in Allah and bring your mind back to Prayer.

9. Pray to Allah and beg Him to grant you true the joy of concentrating in your Prayer and
protection against the wanderings of your mind.

10. Place your eyesight to the one spot where you will be making your sujuud while you recite and avoid taking your eyes from that spot.

Sunnah Prayer

شاشت
Morning Prayer
This prayer is also known as Chaasht salah/namaz. It is performed after the sun has risen high in the morning, after about one-third of the day has passed and it lasts until zawal. One may perform 2, 4, 6, 8, 10 or 12 rakat of nafl.

Sayyiduna Abu Hurayra (Allah have mercy on him) narrates that my beloved companion (the Messenger of Allah, Allah bless him & give him peace) advised me three things: To fast three days of every month, to perform the two rakats of Duha, and that I perform my Witr before retiring to bed. (Sahih al-Bukhari: no: 1981)

Sayyida Aisha (Allah be pleased with her) narrates that the Messenger of Allah (Allah bless him & give him peace) would offer four rakats at the time of Duha, and increase on it whatever Allah wished. (Sahih Muslim, no: 719)

It is mentioned by Imam al-Haskafi (and confirmed by Imam Ibn Abidin) that while its minimum is two rakats, the minimum optimal amount is four rakats, as this was the general practice of the Messenger of Allah (Allah bless him & give him peace). (See: Radd al-Muhtar, 2/22-23

The Prophet (salAllahu alayhi wasalam) was reported as saying, “Whoever prays 12 rakat for the Duha prayer, Allah will built a golden castle for him in Paradise.” [at-Tirmidhi, Ibn Majah]

Prophet Muhammad is reported to have said that Whoever performs the four rakaats before and after the Zuhr salat with constancy, Allah Ta'ala makes the fire of Hell haram (forbidden) for him. [Mishkat,(Hasan-Chain) p. 104; Tirmizi, Abu Da'ud, Nisai, Ibn Majah]

Marriage Of Aisha at 9, This is strange and why....

MARRIAGE OF AISHA @ 9
.
This is so STRANGE why ?.
.
I checked one page on Facebook our bothers where
busy in argument with Christians
about the age of our Mother Aisha (R.A) and many of
us can't defend our selves on this issue but lemme
make it clear.
.
-while the disbelievers were busy calling
HIM(Prophet PBUH) a pedophile.
.
-the muslims were busy faulting sahih
bukhari so as to "cover-up" the issue.
.
-the aged were like: that's extremism.
.
Aisha radiAllahu anha said, I was given in
marriage to the rasul salallahu alayhi
wassalam when I was 6yrs old, and he
consummated the marriage when I was 9
( bukhari)
.
Rather than call it a da'eef hadith, to please
ur non-muslim friends who are insulting ur
rasool, just be silent,or ask the scholars and
read more about seerah and perhaps Allah
may grant u d hikmah behind it.
.
Have u ever asked urself?
Why is it that during the days of quraysh,
they called the rasul:
Magician, madman, and the likes but NEVER
called him a pedophile?
They never raised any question about his
marriage to Aisha (R.A), why?
Bcoz it was NORMAL at that time, girls at
dat age were suitable for marriage at dat
time, did u know:
.
-saint augustine (350AD) married a 10 year
old girl!
.
-king richard 11 (1400AD) he married a 7yr
old girl.
.
-henry Viii (1500AD) he married a 5yrs old
girl.
.
Even in the BIBLE it says:
....But save for yourself every girl who has never slept
with a man (numbers 31. 17:28)
.
According to the catholic encyclopedia,
mary the mother of Jesus was 12 when she married
the 99 years old joseph.
Before 1929, church of england ministers
could marry 12yrs old girls in britain.
.
Up till 1983, catholic canon laws permitted priests to
marry off brides at the age of 12.
.
In the united states, back in 1880, in the state of
delaware, the minimum age for marriage was 7yrs
and in california it was
10.
.
So aisha radiAllahu anha was NOT a child when she
was married!
.
We live in a society where good is
condemned at every slight opportunity but evil is
encouraged even when its flaws are
crystal clear.
.
How strange
The Nigerian constitution says:
An 18yrs old can vote
An 18yrs old can go to jail
An 18yrs old can contest for political positions
An 18yrs old can travel outside d country all alone.
.
And YET, an 18yrs old can't marry?
But our 12yrs old Girls are having boyfriends !
.
Did u know?.
.
When safiyyah bint huyay was married to the rasul,
she was just 17yrs old? And that
was her THIRD marriage
She was initially married to salam ibn abi haqiq and
later to kinanah ibn abi haqiq!.
.
Imagine how old she was during her first
marriage?
.
Are u clarified now?

The Women of Hell Fire. Prophet
(saw) said:
"O Ali, on the night of
my ascension (Miraj)I saw
women of my ummah who were
being severely punished that I
became concerned for them and
started cyring.
1)I saw a woman who had been
hung by her breast.
2) I saw a second woman who
was eating her own flesh and fire
raged below her.
3)A third woman was hanging by
her tongue and boiling water was
being poured down her throat.
4)A fourth was bent over, her hands and feet
were tied together,and snakes and scorpions
were crawling all overher
5)A fifth was deaf, dumb, and blind, enclosed in
a cage of fire her brain oozing out of the holes
in her skull. Her body fell appart due to leprosy.
6)Another was hung by her feet,
inside and over.
7)Yet another woman's body was
being shredded to pieces by
scissors made of fire.
8)One woman had a head of a pig
and a body of a donkey and was
given several punishments.
9)Another had the face of a dog, fire was
entering her body from her posterior and come
out of her
mouth and the angels were
beating her with iron rods
Fatimah then inquired her father, 'Please, tell
me, what did these women do(to deserve such
punishment)?'
Then the Prophet Sallallaahu alayhi wa sallam
said :
'Listen my dear; 1)The one who was hanging by
her breast used to deny her husband, his
rightful pleasure.
2)The one hanging by her feet used to go out of
her house without her husband's permission.
3)The one eating her own flesh used to beautify
herself and show her body to men other than
her husband.
4)The one who's hands and feet were tied
together and covered with snakes and scorpions
never to care impurity and wasn't careful about
ghusl, thus taking her prayer lightly.
5)The deaf, blind, and dumb, used to bear
children through adultery but claim the children
belonged to her husband.
6)The one whose body was being cut by scissors
made of fire never observed hijab in front of
non mahrem men.
7)The one whose body was burned and who was
eating her own intestines used to provide other
woman for ____.
8)The one with the face of a pig and a body of a
donkey was a backbiter and a liar.
9) And those with the face of a dog and who
had fire entering her behind and coming out of
her face was a jealous woman.
May Allah(SWT) protect us from the punishment
of the grave and the punishment of the hell fire
and grant us Janaat firdaus. Ameen.
