PRACTICE DUA FOR DAILY LIFE FROM QURAN AND SUNNAH

Remembrance of Allah in all Conditions

Allah Almighty says in the Qur'an:
"When my servants ask you concerning me, (tell them) I am indeed close (to them). I listen to the prayer of every suppliant when he calls on me." [2:186]

The place of duaa is so high to Allah, that the Prophet had said:
"Nothing is more honourable to Allah the Most High than du`a."
[Sahih al-Jami` no.5268]. He also said: "The most excellent worship is du`a."

[Sahih Al-Jami` no. 1133]; "If one does not ask Allah, He will get angry with him."
[Sahih al-Jami` no.2414]===================================================================================
Why our Du'as are not answered
by ibn Rajab al Hanbali
from Khushu' fis-salah

Ibrahim ibn Adham - may Allah have mercy on
him - a third century scholar, a teacher and a
companion of Sufyan ath-Thawri, was asked
about the saying of Allah - the Most High:

"and your Lord says: "Call on me I will answer
your prayer..."
[40:60]

"We supplicate and we are not answered."
So he said to them:

You know Allah,
Yet you do not obey Him,

You recite the Qur'an,
Yet do not act according to it,

You know Shaitan,
Yet you have agreed with him,

You proclaim that you love Muhammad
Yet you abandon his Sunnah,

You proclaim your love for Paradise,
Yet you do not act to gain it,

You proclaim your fear the Fire,
Yet you do not prevent yourselves from sins,

You say "Indeed death is true",
Yet you have not prepared for it,

You point out the faults with others,
Yet you do not look at your faults,

You eat of that which Allah has provided for you,
Yet you do not thank Him,

You bury your dead,
Yet you do not take a lesson from it."

I beseech You by every one of Your Names, those which You use to refer to Yourself, or have revealed in Your Book, or have taught to any one of Your creation, or have chosen to keep hidden with You in the Unseen, to make the Qur’an Al-Karim the springtime of my heart, the light of my eyes, the departure of my grief, and the vanishing of my affliction and my sorrow.

[Ahmad 1:391, ibn Hibban]
The Prophet (salAllahu alayhi wasalam) said, there is no-one who is afflicted by distress and grief, and says (the above), but Allah will take away his distress and grief, and replace it with joy." He was asked: "O Messenger of Allah, should we learn this?" He said: "Of course; everyone who hears it should learn it

Best Times to make Dua (Supplication)

There are certain times dua (supplication)
is more likely to be accepted by Allah (SWT)
as mentioned by Prophet (SAW). These
times are as follows:

1. The Last Third Of The Night
Abu Hurairah (RA) narrated that Allah’s
Messenger (SAW) said: 'In the last third
of every night our Rabb (Cherisher and
Sustainer) (Allah (SWT)) descends to the
lowermost heaven and says; "Who is
calling Me, so that I may answer him?
Who is asking Me so that may I grant
him? Who is seeking forgiveness from
Me so that I may forgive him?."'
[Sahih al-Bukhari, Hadith Qudsi]

Amr ibn Absah narrated that the
Prophet said: 'The closest any
worshipper can be to His Lord is
during the last part of the night,
so if you can be amongst those
who remember Allah at that time,
then do so.'[at-Tirmidhi, an-Nasa'i,
al-Hakim - Sahih]

2. Late at night
When people are sleeping and busy
with worldly pleasures Allah (SWT)
gives the believers an opportunity,
or an answer hour if they can fight
sleep and invoke Allah (SWT) for
whatever they need. The Prophet
(SAW) said: 'There is at night an
hour, no Muslim happens to be
asking Allah any matter of this world
or the Hereafter, except that he will
be given it, and this (occurs) every night.'
[Muslim #757]

3. Between Adhan and Iqamah
Anas (RA) narrated that Allah’s
Messenger (SAW) said: 'A supplication
made between the Adhan and Iqama
is not rejected.'
[Ahmad, abu Dawud #521, at-Tirmidhi
#212, Sahih al-Jami #3408, an-Nasai
and Ibn Hibban graded it sahih (sound)]

4. An Hour On Friday
Narrated Abu Hurairah (RA): Allah’s
Messenger (SAW) talked about Friday
and said: 'There is an hour on Friday
and if a Muslim gets it while offering Salat
(prayer) and asks something from
Allah (SWT), then Allah (SWT) will definitely
meet his demand.' And he (the Prophet (SAW)
pointed out the shortness of that
particular time with his hands.
[Sahih al-Bukhari]

Some have said that this hour is from
the time the Imam (prayer’s leader)
enters the mosque on Friday’s prayer
until the prayer is over (ie between the
two khutbahs), whereas others have
said that it is the last hour of the day
(ie after the Asr prayer until the
Maghrib prayer).

5. While Drinking Zamzam Water
Jaber (RA) narrated that Allah’s
Messenger (SAW) said: 'Zamzam
water is for what it is drunk for.'
[Ahmad 3: 357 and Ibn Majah #3062].
This means that when you drink Zamzam
water you may ask Allah (SWT) for anything
you like to gain or benefit from this water
such as healing from illness.... etc.

6. While Prostrating
Abu Hurairah (RA) narrated that
Allah’s Messenger (SAW), said:
'The nearest a slave can be to his Lord
is when he is prostrating, so invoke
(supplicate) Allah (SWT) much in it.
[Muslim, abu Dawud, an-Nasa'i and others,
Sahih al-Jami #1175]

When a Muslim is in his Salat (prayer)
he is facing Allah (SWT) and when
he prostrates he is the nearest
he can be to Allah (SWT) so it is
best to invoke Allah (SWT) at this time.
It is said that while in prostration,
one should not ask for worldy needs
(ie a nice car, a new job, etc),
but for the Hereafter.

7. When Waking Up at Night
Narrated Ubada Bin As-Samit that
Allah’s Messenger (SAW) said:
'Whomever wakes up at night and
says La ilaha illallahu wahdahu la
shrika lahu lahulmulku, wa lahul hamdu,
wa huwa ala kulli shai'in qadir.
Alhamdu lillahi, wa subhanallahi
wa la ilaha illallahu, wallah akbir,
wa la hawla wala quwata illa billah
(none has the right to be worshipped
but Allah (SWT) He is the only one who
has no partners. His is the kingdom and
all the praises are for Allah (SWT)
All the glories are for Allah (SWT)
And none has the right to be worshipped
but Allah (SWT) and Allah (SWT)
is the most Great and there is neither
might nor power except with Allah (SWT)
and then says, Allahumma ighfir li
(O Allah! Forgive me) or invokes Allah
(SWT), he will be responded to and
if he makes ablution and performs
Salat (prayer), his Salat (prayer) will
be accepted. [Sahih al-Bukhari]

8. At The End Of The Obligatory Salat:
Narrated Abu Omamah (RA): that
Allah’s Messenger (SAW) was asked,
O Messenger of Allah, which supplication
is heard (by Allah (SWT), he said the end
of the night and at the end of the obligatory
Salat (prayer) [at-Tirmidhi].
This time is after saying 'At-tahyat' ,
and before making Tasleem (finishing prayer)

9. The Night Of 'Qadr' (Decree)
This night is the greatest night of the year.
This is the night which the almighty
Allah (SWT) said about it,
"The night of Al-Qadar (Decree) is better
than a thousand months." [Surah al-Qadr, 97: 3]

The Night of Decree is one of the odd
nights of the last ten nights of the blessed
month of Ramadan. The angels descend
down to the earth, and the earth is
overwhelmed with peace and serenity
until the break of dawn and when he
doors of Paradise are opened, the
worshipper is encouraged to turn to Allah
to ask for his needs for this world
and the Hereafter.

10. During The Rain
Narrated Sahel Ibn Sa'ad (RA):
that the Messenger of Allah (SAW) said:
'Two will not be rejected,
Supplication when the Adhan
(call of prayer) is being called,
and at the time of the rain'.
[Al-Hakim 2: 114, and Abu Dawud
#2540, ibn Majah]

'Seek the response to your du'as
when the armies meet, and the prayer
is called, and when rain falls'
[reported by Imam al-Shafi' in al-Umm,
al-Sahihah #1469]. The time of the
rain is a time of mercy from Allah (SWT)
so, one should take advantage of
this time when Allah (SWT) is having
mercy on His slaves.

11. At the Adhan
'Seek the response to your du'as
when the armies meet, and the prayer
is called, and when rain falls'
[reported by Imam al-Shafi' in al-Umm,
al-Sahihah #1469]

In another hadith; 'When the prayer is
called, the doors of the skies are opened,
and the du'a is answered'
[al-Tayalisi in his Musnad #2106,
al-Sahihah #1413]

12. The One Who Is Suffering
Injustice and Opression
The Messenger of Allah (SAW) said
to Mua'ad Ibn Jabal (RA),
'Beware of the supplication of the
unjustly treated, because there is
no shelter or veil between it
(the supplication of the one who is
suffering injustice) and Allah (SWT)'
[Sahih Al-Bukhari and Muslim]

'The prophet (SAW) declared,
'Three men whose dua is
rejected (by Allah) are: the fasting
person until he breaks his fast
(in another narration,
when he breaks fast), the just ruler
and the one who is oppressed.
'[Ahmad, at-Tirmidhi - Hasan]'

It should be NOT rejected by Allah

The prophet (SAW) declared,
'Three men whose dua is
rejected (by Allah) are: the fasting
person until he breaks his fast
(in another narration,
when he breaks fast), the just ruler
and the one who is oppressed.
'[Ahmad, at-Tirmidhi - Hasan]

In another hadith; The Prophet (SAW)
declared: 'Three du'as are surely answered:
The du'a of the oppressed, the du'a
of the traveler, and the du'a of the
father/mother (upon their child)'.
The One who is suffering injustice
is heard by Allah (SWT) when he
invokes Allah (SWT) to retain his
rights from the unjust one or oppressor.
Allah (SWT) has sworn to help the one
who is suffering from injustice sooner
or later as the Messenger of Allah (SAW) said.

13. The Traveler
The Messenger of Allah
(SAW) said; Three supplications
will not be rejected (by Allah (SWT)),
the supplication of the parent for his child,
the supplication of the one who is fasting,
and the supplication of the traveler.
[al-Bayhaqi, at-Tirmidhi - Sahih]

During travel supplication is heard by
Allah (SWT) if the trip is for a good reason,
but if the trip is for a bad intention
or to perform illegal things (making sins)
this will not apply to it.

14. The Parent's Supplication for their Child
The Messenger of Allah (SAW) said;
Three supplications will not be rejected
(by Allah (SWT)), the supplication
of the parent for his child, the supplication
of the one who is fasting, and the
supplication of the traveler.
[al-Bayhaqi, at-Tirmidhi - Sahih]

15. Dua after praising Allah and
giving salat on the Prophet (SAW) in the
tashahhud at the end of salat.
Narrated Faddalah ibn Ubayd (RA):
that the Messenger of Allah (SAW) said:
'When anyone of you makes du'a,
let him start by glorifying his Lord
and praising Him, then let him send
blessings upon the Prophet (SAW),
then let him pray for whatever he wants'
[abu Dawud #1481, at-Tirmidhi #3477]

In another hadith; Baqiy ibn Mukhallid
(RA) narrated that that the Messenger
of Allah (SAW) said: 'Every du'a is not
responded to until one sends
upon the Prophet (SAW)' [al-Bayhaqi]

In another hadith; Umar (RA) narrated
that the Prophet (SAW) said: 'Du'a is
detained between the heavens and
the earth and no part of it is taken up
until you send blessings upon
Prophet (SAW)' [at-Tirmidhi #486]

After a person has finished his tashahhud
and before saying the 'salam',
at this time is one likely to be responded to.
Ibn Mas'ud narrates: I was once praying,
and the Prophet (SAW), Abu Bakr and
(were all present). When I sat down
(in the final tashahhud), I praised Allah,
then sent salams on the Prophet,
then started praying for myself.
At this, the Prophet (SAW) said:
'Ask, and you shall be given it! Ask,
and you shall be given it!'
[at-Tirmidhi #593 - hasan,
Mishkat al-Misbah #931]

16. The dua of a Muslim for his absent
brother or sister Muslim stemming from the heart.
The prophet (SAW) said:
'There is no believing servant who
supplicates for his brother in his
absence where the angels do not say,
'the same be for you'' [Muslim]

17. Dua on the Day of Arafat
The Messenger of Allah (SAW) said:
'The best supplication is the supplication
on the day of Arafat'. [at-Tirmidhi and Malik]

The day of Arafat is the essence
and pinnacle of Hajj. On this great
and momentous day, millions of worshippers
gather together on one plain, from every
corner of the world, with only one purpose
in mind - to respone to the call of their Creator.
During this auspicious day, Allah does
not refuse the requests of His worshippers.

18. Dua during the month of Ramadan

Ramadan is month full of many blessings,
thus the du'a of Ramadan is a blessed one.
This can be inferred from the
Prophet (SAW) saying: 'When Ramadan comes,
the Doors of Mercy
(another narration says Paradise) are opened,
and the doors of Hell are closed,
and the Shaitans are locked up'
Thus, it is clear that du'a during Ramadan
has a greater chance of being accepted,
as the Gates of Paradise and Mercy are opened.
[Sahih al-Bukhari #1899, Muslim #1079 and others]

19. Dua when the Armies meet
When the Muslim is facing the enemy
in battle, at this critical period,
the du'a of a worshipper is accepted.

Sahl ibn Sa'd (RA) narrtaed the the
Prophet (SAW) said: 'Two duas are never rejected,
or rarely rejected: the du'a during the
call for prayer, and the du'a during the
clamity when the two armies attack each other'
[Abu Dawud #2540, ibn Majah, al-Hakim]

20. When Muslims gather for the
purpose of invoking and remembering
Allah (Dhikrullah).

The Prophet (SAW) said: If a group
of people sit together remembering Allah,
the angels will circle them, mercy
will shroud them, peace will descend
onto them and Allah will remember
them among those with Him. [Muslim]

21. First Ten days of Dhul-Hijjah
The Prophet (SAW) said:
'There are no days during which good
deeds are more beloved to Allah
than during these ten days'
[Sahih al-Bukhai #969 and others]

22. Dua when the heart reaches
out to Allah and is ready to be totally sincere

23. At Midnight

Abu Umamah (RA) said,
the Prophet (SAW) was questioned;
'Which du'a is heard (by Allah)?'
He answered, 'At midnight and at the
end of every obligatory prayer.
' [at-Tirmidhi - Hasan]

25. Dua of people after the death of a person

In a long hadith, Umm Salamah (RA)
narrated that the Prophet (SAW) said,
when Abu Salamah had just passed away,
and had closed his eyes, 'Do not ask
for yourselves anything but good,
for the angels will say 'Ameen' to all
that you ask for. O Allah, forgive Abu Salamah,
and raise his ranks among those
who are guided.'
[Muslim, abu Dawud, Ahmad]

26. Dua of the one fasting until
he breaks his fast.

The Messenger of Allah (SAW) said;
Three supplications will not be
rejected (by Allah (SWT)), the supplication
of the parent for his child, the
supplication of the one who is fasting,
and the supplication of the traveler.
[al-Bayhaqi, at-Tirmidhi - Sahih]

27. Dua of the one fasting at the
time of breaking fast

The prophet (SAW) declared,
'Three men whose dua is never rejected
(by Allah) are: when a fasting person
breaks fast (in another narration,
the fasting person until he breaks his fast),
the just ruler and the one
who is oppressed.
'[Ahmad, at-Tirmidhi - Hasan]

29. Dua of a justice Ruler

The prophet (SAW) declared,
'Three men whose dua is never rejected
(by Allah) are: the fasting person
until he breaks his fast
(in another narration,
when he breaks fast),
the just ruler and the one
who is oppressed.
'[Ahmad, at-Tirmidhi - Hasan]

30. Dua of a son or daughter
obedient to his or her parents

It is well known in the story
narrated in hadith os three men
who were trapped by a huge stone in a cave.
One of them who was kind to his parents
asked Allah to remove the stone,
and his du'a was answered.
[Sahih al-Bukhari 3:36 #472]

31. Dua immediately after wudu

Umar ibn Al-Khattab reported
that the Prophet (SAW) said:
'There is not one of you that makes wudu,
and does it perfectly, then says:
I testify that there is no diety worthy
of worship except Allah. he is Alone,
having no partners.
And I bear witness that Muhammad is His
slave and messenger',
except that the eight gates of Paradise
are opened for him, and he can enter
into it through whichever one he pleases'
[Muslim #234, abu Dawud #162,
Ahmad, an-Nasa'i] Saying
what has been mentioned in the hadith
that is directly related to it (ablution)

32. Dua after stoning the Jamarat at Hajj

The stoning of the small Shaitan
(jamrat sugra), or the middle Shaitan
(jamrat wusta) pillars during Hajj.
It is narrated that the Prophet (SAW)
would stone the small Jamarah
(one of the three pillars that is
stoned in the last days of Hajj),
then face the qiblah, raise his hands,
and make du'a for a long time.
He would then stone the middle
Jamarah and do the same.
When he stoned the large Jamarah,
he would depart without making any
du'a. [Sahih al-Bukhari
#1753 and others]

33. At the Crowing of a Rooster

Abu Hurairah (RA) narrated
that the Prophet (SAW) said:
'When you hear a rooster crowing,
then ask Allah for His bounties,
for it has seen an angel, and
when you hear a donkey braying,
then seek refuge in Allah from Shaitan,
for it has seen a Shaitan'
[Sahih al-Bukhari, Muslim,
Ahmad, Sahih al-Jami #611]

34. Du'a made inside the Ka'bah
The Ka'bah is a sanctuary that has
no comparison in the entire world.
The du'a of one who prays inside
the hijr is considered as being made
inside the ka'bah, as it is part
of the house (Baitullah).
[This is the semicircle to the right
of the Ka'bah if you face the door,
opposite to the Yemeni corner
and the Black stone wall.]

Allah the Most High says:
My servant has praised Me.
And when he (the servant) says:
The Most Compassionate, the Merciful,
Allah the Most High says:
My servant has lauded Me. When he
(the servant) says: Master of the Day
of Judgment, He remarks:
My servant has glorified Me,
and sometimes He will say:
My servant entrusted (his affairs) to Me.
When he (the worshipper) says:
Thee do we worship and of
Thee do we ask help, He (Allah) says:
This is between Me and My servant,
and My servant will receive what he asks for
. Then, when he (the worshipper) says:
Guide us to the straight path,
the path of those to whom
Thou hast been Gracious --
not of those who have incurred

gone astray, He (Allah) says:

[at-Tirmidhi, abu Dawud]

LOVE CATS

The Prophet (pbuh) their word
Surprised scientists about the cat

நபிகள் நாயகம் (ஸல்) அவர்களின் சொல்
பூனை பற்றி விஞ்ஞானிகளை ஆச்சரியப்படுத்தியது
 

Cats and Islam

Islam faith and cats – Arabs in the 7th century believed that the cat was pure spirited. Pre-Islamic Arabs are said to have worshipped a Golden Cat.

The Prophet Muhammad (s) was tender and kind towards cats. He appreciated cats. Muhammad’s (s) favorite cat was called Muezza. There is a well known story regarding the Prophet Muhammad (s) and Muezza.

When the call to prayers was heard, Muezza was asleep on one of the sleeves of the Prophet’s (s) robes. The Prophet (s) wanted to wear the robe to go to prayers. Rather than disturb Muezza, Muhammad (s) cut off the sleeve to leave Muezza in peace. Prophet (s) then stroked the cat three times, which, it is said, granted Muezza seven lives and the ability to land on his feet at all times (as you might know, cats have a self-righting mechanism,a righting reflex, which is a complex series of movements when a cat falls and which protects the cat from breaking her back).

Prophet (s) was so attached to his cat that when he gave sermons he let Muezza rest on his lap and he also drank from water previously drunk by his cat. He also did his ablutions from the same water that was drunk by a cat. He seemed to treat his cat in the same way as cat lovers do today but even cat lovers might think twice about drinking the same water that had been drunk by a cat for fear of transmission of disease from the cat’s saliva (but see below).

Islam teaches Muslims to treat cats well and that the cat is a creature to be cherished and loved. Mistreating a cat is regarded as a severe sin in Islam.

Cats according to the Qur`an and Sunnah

An example as to how Muslims are punished for mistreating cats can be found in the `ahadith (oral traditions telling the story of the Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) and which have been recorded in writing). When a woman kept a cat locked up and failed to feed the cat until the cat died, the woman was tortured and "put to hell.”

Abdullah (may Allah be pleased with him) reported that Allah's Messenger (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said:

“A woman was tormented because of a cat which she had confined until it died and she had to get into Hell. She did not allow it either to eat or drink as it was confined, nor did she free it so that it might eat the insects of the earth”.  (Sahih Muslim)

It is believed that you will suffer no harm if you drink from the cat’s water provided no impurities are seen in the cat’s mouth. In another story from the `ahadith, it is stated that a when a cat ate a pudding put down during prayers, the person who was in charge of the pudding ate from the same place as the cat and Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said this was alright as the cat is not unclean and is "one of those who go around amongst us".

Narrated Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her), Ummul Mu'minin:

“Dawud ibn Salih ibn Dinar at-Tammar quoted his mother as saying that her mistress sent her with some pudding (harisah) to Aisha who was offering prayer. She made a sign to me to place it down. A cat came and ate some of it, but when Aisha finished her prayer, she ate from the place where the cat had eaten. She stated: The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said:“It is not unclean: it is one of those who go round among you”. She added: “I saw the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him)  performing ablution from the water left over by the cat”.” (Abu Dawood)

Islam teaches Muslims that, in relation to a cat:

1.) The cat should not be sold for money or other traded goods.

Narrated Jabir (may Allah be pleased with him): "The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) prohibited eating the cat and from its price."(Jami` at-Tirmidhi)

Abu Zubair (may Allah be pleased with him) said:

I asked Jabir (may Allah be pleased with him) about the price of a dog and a cat; he said: “Allah's Messenger (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) disapproved of that”. (Sahih Muslim)

2.) Cats saliva is harmless unless the cat has "visible impurities" in the mouth.

Yahya related to me from Malik from Ishaq ibn Abdullah ibn Abi Talha from Humayda bint Abi Ubayda ibn Farwa that her maternal aunt Kabsha bint Kab ibn Malik, who was the wife of the son of Abu Qatada al-Ansari, told her that once Abu Qatada was visiting her and she poured out some water for him to do wudu with. Just then a cat came to drink from it, so he tilted the vessel towards it to let it drink. Kabsha continued, "He saw me looking at him and said, 'Are you surprised, daughter of my brother?' I said, 'Yes.' He replied that the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, said, cats are not impure. They intermingle with you’. "

Yahya said that Malik said, "There is no harm in that unless one sees impurities on the cat's mouth." (Muwatta Malik)

Humaidah bint Ubaid bin Rifa'ah (may Allah be pleased with her) narrated:

"Kabshah bint Ka'b bin Malik - she was (married) with Ibn Abi Qatadah - narrated "That Abu Qatadah visited her, [so she said:] 'So I poured water for him to use for Wudu.' She said: 'A cat came to drink, so he lowered he container until it drank.' Kabshah said: 'So he saw me looking at it and said, "O my niece! Are you surprised at that?" So I said yes.He said: "Indeed Allah's Messenger (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said 'It is not impure, it is only one of those roam around among you.'" (Jami` at-Tirmidhi)

3.) Muslims are free to live with cats but they must treat cats well, providing the cat with enough water and food and giving "roaming time" (a degree of freedom of movement)

It was narrated from Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him) that:

The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him)said: "Cats do not invalidate the prayer, because they are one of the things that are useful in the house." (Sunan Ibn Majah)

'A good deed done to an animal is as meritorious as a good deed done to a human being, while an act of cruelty to an animal is as bad as an act of cruelty to a human being'

Abu Hurayrah (may Allah be pleased with him) was a close Companion of the Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) and has narrated more hadiths, or sayings of the Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him), than any other Companion. He (may Allah be pleased with him) was known for being very sympathetic and loving towards animals so much so that although his name was `Abdur-Rahman, he was known as Abu Hurayrah, meaning “father of the kitten.” He (may Allah be pleased with her) was called so because of a small cat that he used to feed and care for and carry with him everywhere he went.

("Cat" word comes from the Arabic word qit/Hirra but a tiny male cat is called hurayrah, or thus In Arabic, Hirra means cat and Hurayra means a kitten.)

Hagia Sophia Grand Mosque's beloved feline resident Gli not doing well, vet says

Sixteen years may not feel like a long life for the average human but for a cat, it is most often an age few are blessed to reach.

The Hagia Sophia Grand Mosque's favorite feline resident, Gli the cat's health is unfortunately not doing well and it may be time for everyone's prayers.

The health update came from Gli's Instagram account via a video post on Thursday. The veterinarians taking care of her said she was under surveillance 24/7 and being taken care of in the best possible way.

Gli, who is roughly 80 years old in human years, has been in isolation and receiving treatment since falling ill in late September.

The celebrity cat has over 107,000 followers on Instagram and has been living in the Hagia Sophia Grand Mosque for the past 16 years. She is most distinguishable by her big shiny green eyes. Among the famous figures charmed by her beauty is former U.S. President Barack Obama, who was filmed stroking her during a trip in 2009.

Despite the famous structure being reverted back to a mosque this year, Turkish authorities assured the public that it would remain Gli’s home.

 

 Hagia Sophia mosque's famed 

feline Gli passes away November 7, 2020

Gli died at a veterinary clinic in Istanbul's Levent district where he was receiving treatment since September 24.

Gli, the cross-eyed adorable cat that had been living in Istanbul's Hagia Sophia mosque, has passed away at the age of 16.

The world-famous feline who made the Hagia Sophia her own is now part of the history of the iconic mosque.

"Hagia Sophia's cat Gli, who was being treated at a private veterinary clinic [Istanbul's] Levent [district] since September 24, unfortunately passed away due to her old age," Ali Yerlikaya, mayor of the Turkish metropolis, said on Twitter.

"We will never forget you, Gli," said Yerlikaya, posting a photograph of the cat, saying he was “deeply saddened.”

Earlier this year, as Hagia Sophia transitioned from a museum back to a mosque, Gli was unaffected by the hubbub. The architectural treasure was her home always, a point officials were quick to confirm.

Friday prayers July 24 in Hagia Sophia marked the first Muslim acts of worship there in 86 years.

Hagia Sophia served as a church for 916 years until the conquest of Istanbul, and a mosque from 1453 to 1934 – nearly 500 years – and most recently as a museum for 86 years.

And for the last several years, it served as a home to Gli, who will not be forgotten in the stately structure.

 

 

 

வெளியில் புறப்படும் போது குறுக்கே பூனை வந்தால், சகுனம் சரியில்லை.

 

இது பல்லாண்டு காலமாக சொல்ல பட்டு வரும் ஒரு பழைய வியாக்கானம். இது சொல்ல பட்ட காலம் மிகவும் முக்கியமான ஒன்று. அது மக்கள் இன்னுமும் காட்டை அண்டி அதை சார்ந்து வாழ்ந்து கொண்டிருந்த காலம். இன்னொன்று இதில் சொல்ல பட்ட பூனை உண்மையாகவே பூனையைதான் குறிக்கிறதா என்ற கேள்வி நிறைய பேருக்கு தெரிந்திருக்க நியாயமில்லைதான். அக்கால மக்கள் எதையும் இலைமறை காயாக சொல்லித்தான் இன்பம் புசிப்பார்கள். சரி இப்போது கருத்துக்கு வருவோம்.

அக்கால மக்கள் காட்டை சார்ந்து வாழ்ந்து வந்ததால் சரியான பாதுகாப்பு இன்றி இயற்கை மாற்றங்களையும் சுற்று சூழலில் ஏற்படும் மாற்றங்களியும் வைத்து தான் வாழ்க்கையை ஓட்டி கொண்டிருந்தனர். ஆக பூனை வகையை சார்ந்த புலி, சிறுத்தை என பெரிய பூனைகளின் நடமாட்டமும் இருந்திருக்கிறது. புலி, சிறுத்தை போன்றவை இயல்பாகவே சாலையையோ நடைபாதையையோ அல்லது மனித நடமாட்டங்கள் உள்ள பகுதிகளையோ கடக்க நேரிட்டால் பதுங்கி தாக்க கூடியவை. இப்படி இவை கடந்து போகும் நேரமும் நாம் வெளியில் புறப்படும் நேரமும் எதிர்பாராத வகையில் ஒன்றாக அமைந்து விட்டால் அது உயிருக்கே ஆபத்தை விளைவிக்க கூடும்.


வெளியில் செல்லும் போது குறுக்கே எதிர்படும் இப்பெரிய வகை பூனைகள் நாம் வரும் வரை புதர் மறைவில் காத்திருந்து நம்மை தாக்கலாம் அல்லது நமது இருப்பிடத்தையோ அதில் இருப்போரையோ தாக்கலாம். எனவே இது முழுக்க முழுக்க கெடுதலான ஒரு விஷயம். எனவே ஒட்டு மொத்தமாக சகுனம் என கூறப்பட்டது. எனவே எதிர்பாராத விதமாக வெளியில் போகும் போது இவை அதாவது புலி அல்லது சிறுத்தை போன்ற பெரிய பூனை வகைகள் குறுக்கே எதிர்ப்பட்டால் செல்லும் காரியத்தை ரத்து செய்து விட்டு வீட்டுக்கு சென்று பாதுகாப்பை தேடி கொள்ளுங்கள் என சொல்லாமல் சொல்லப்பட்டது.இந்த விஷயம் அந்த காலக்கட்டத்தில் சரியான அறிவான சமயோதிதமான ஒரு கருத்து.

ஆனால் இன்றைய கால கட்டத்தில் இந்த கருத்து நாம் வாழும் நகர வாழ்வின் நடைமுறைக்கு சரியான ஒன்றா? சிறிது சிந்திக்க வேண்டிய ஒன்று. அன்று பூனை என சொல்லபட்டவை இன்று நாம் காணும் குட்டி பூனைகளும் வீட்டு பூனைகளும் என தவறாக கணிக்க பட்டு விட்டன.

எனக்கு தெரிந்து எந்த வீட்டு பூனையும் மனிதனை கொன்றதாக நான் கேள்வி பட்டது இல்லை. ஒரு கால் நாம் வெளியே போகும் போது இந்த குட்டி பூனைகளும் வீட்டு பூனைகளும் எதிர்பட்டால் பாவம் அவற்ருக்கு தான் சகுனம் சரியில்லை. காரணம் காரின் சக்கரங்களில் மிதிபட்டு அவை உயிர் இழக்க கூடும்.


ஆனால் பாருங்கள் நம் மக்களின் சிந்திக்கும் திறனை. பூனை என்று சொன்னதுமே எதையும் யோசிக்காமல் தினசரி காணும் பூனைகளின் மீது பழி போட்டு கொஞ்சம் மூடநம்பிக்கையை நீரூற்றி வளர்த்து வைத்திருக்கின்றனர். இதனால் எவ்வளவு இழப்பு ஏற்பட வாய்ப்புண்டு அல்லவா!. எனவே பூனைகள் குறுக்கே போவது ஒன்றும் பாதகமில்லை. ஆனால் கண்முடிதனமாக இதன் உட்கருத்தை அறியாமல் பின்பற்றுகிறோமே இந்த மூடதனத்தால் பெரிய பாதகம்.

 
 ஆக இனிமேலாவது பூனைக்கு ஹை சொல்லி காரியத்தை தொடங்குவோம். தொடரும் 
                 

FEAR ALLAH WHEREVER YOU

Allah says:
“It is only those who
have knowledge among
Allah's servants who fear Him.”
[ Sûrah Fâtir : 28]

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Abû Dharr al-Ghifârî and
Mu`âdh b, Jabal relate that the
Prophet (pbuh) said:

“Fear Allah wherever you are.
Follow up a bad deed with a good deed and it will blot it out. And deal with people in a good manner.”
[ Sunan al-Tirmidhî ]

“WE HAVE SOLD IT TO ALLAH !" CHARITY SADAQAH

Abu Darda (may Allah have mercy on him) was one of those people who found an opportunity to win what is greater than the heavens and the earth. There was a companion of the Prophet (sallAllahu alayhi wasallam) who cultivated his garden next to the property of an orphan. The orphan claimed that a specific palm tree was on his property and therefore belonged to him. The companion rejected the claim, so the orphan boy went to the Messenger of Allah (sallAllahu alayhi wasallam) to complain. The Messenger of Allah (sallAllahu alayhi wasallam) measured the two gardens and found that the palm tree did indeed belong to the companion. The orphan erupted crying. Seeing this, the Prophet (sallAllahu alayhi wasallam) asked the companion, “Would you give him the palm tree and for you is a palm tree in Jannah?” However, the companion in his disbelief that an orphan would complain to the Prophet (sallAllahu alayhi wasallam), missed the opportunity and went away angry.

But someone else saw the opportunity – Abu Darda (radi Allahu anhu). He went to the Prophet (sallAllahu alayhi wasallam) and asked, “Ya RasulAllah, if I buy the tree from him and give it to the orphan shall I have that tree in Jannah?”

The Messenger of Allah (sallAllahu alayhi wasallam) replied, “Yes.”

Abu Darda (radi Allahu anhu) had chased after the companion and asked, “Would you sell that tree to me for my entire garden?” (Abu Darda had a garden of 600 trees)

The companion answered, “Take it, for there is no good in a tree that was complained to the Prophet about.”

Immediately, Abu Darda (radi Allahu anhu) went home and found his wife and children playing in the garden. “Leave the garden!” shouted Abu Darda. “WE HAVE SOLD IT TO ALLAH! WE HAVE SOLD IT TO ALLAH!” Some of his children had dates in their hand and he snatched the dates from them and threw them back into the garden. “WE HAVE SOLD IT TO ALLAH!”

When Abu Darda was later martyred in the battle of Uhud, RasulAllah (sallAllahu alayhi wasallam) stood over his slain body and remarked, “How many shady palm trees does Abu Darda now have in Paradise?”

What did Abu Darda lose? Dates? Bushes? Dirt? What did he gain? He gained a Jannah whose expanse is the heavens and the earth.

Subhan’Allah, how beautiful is this story, of one Sahabi who gave up everything he had, just to have one palm tree in Jannah. Allahu Akbar.

ISLAMIC WAY MARRIAGE LIFE (NIKKAH)

The Holy Prophet Muhammad ( pbuh) said:

"A man marries a woman

for four reasons

1...For her property,

2...For her rank,

3..For her beauty,

4...For her religion

(and character)

So marry the one who is best in the

religion and character and prosper”.

(Bukhari and Muslim)

=======================================================================
The Holy Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) said:

“Nikah (marriage) is my Sunna.

He who shuns my Sunna is not of me.”

(Muslim)

==========================================

The Holy Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) said:

"If Allah grants a Muslim a righteous wife, this helps him preserve half of his religion (faith). He should, therefore, fear Allah as regards the other half."

( Marriage quotes from At-Tabarani and Al-Hakim)

============================================================================

THEY ARE YOUR PARTNERS AND COMMITTED HELPERS

People, it is true that you have certain rights over your women, but they also have rights over you. Remember that you have taken them as your wives only under God's trust and with His permission. If they abide by your right then to them belongs the right to be fed and clothed in kindness. Treat your women well and be kind to them, for they are your partners and committed helpers. It is your right and they do not make friends with anyone of whom you do not approve, as well as never to be unchaste...>>>

In the name of Allah, The most Gracious, Most Merciful

Supplication DUA said to the newlywed

May Allaah bless for you (your spouse) and bless you, and may He unite both of you in (Khair) goodness.

Ibn `Abbas (May Allah be pleased with them) reported:

The Prophet (sallallaahu ’alayhi wa sallam) said,

"If anyone intends to have (sexual intercourse) with his wife, he should say: "

Bismillah! Allahumma janibnash-Shaitana,

wa jannibish-Shaitana ma razaqtana

(In the Name of Allah, O Allah! Keep us away from Satan

and keep Satan away from what You have bestowed upon us);

' and if Allah has ordained a child for them, Satan will never harm him.''

[Al-Bukhari and Muslim].

Commentary: One should recite the prayer mentioned in this Hadith before one cohabits with his wife. This will save him and his offspring from the evil effect of Satan. But it must be borne in mind that this prayer is to be recited before the intercourse and not during it

==============================================================================

Marriage and divorce

Main articles: Islamic marital jurisprudence, Talaq, and Nikah

There are two types of marriage mentioned in the Qur'an: nikah and nikah mut‘ah. The first is more common; it aims to be permanent, but can be terminated by the husband in the talaq process or by the wife seeking divorce. In nikah the couples inherit from each other. A legal contract is signed when entering the marriage. The husband must pay for the wife's expenses. In Sunni jurisprudence, the contract is void if there is a determined divorce date in the nikah, whereas, in Shia jurisprudence, nikah contracts with determined divorce dates are transformed in nikah mut'ah. For the contract to be valid there must be two witnesses under Sunni jurisprudence. There is no witness requirement for Shia contracts.

Nikah mut'ah is considered haraam (forbidden) by Sunni Muslims. It means "marriage for pleasure". Under Shia jurisprudence a nikah mut'ah is the second form of marriage recognized by the Shia. It is a fixed term marriage, which is a marriage with a preset duration, after which the marriage is automatically dissolved. There is controversy about the Islamic legality of this type of marriage, since Sunnis believe it was abrogated by Muhammad, while Shias believe it was forbidden by Umar and hence that ban may be ignored since Umar had no authority to do so. The Qur'an itself doesn't mention any cancellation of the institution. Nikah mut'ah sometimes has a preset time period to the marriage, traditionally the couple do not inherit from each other, the man usually is not responsible for the economic welfare of the woman, and she usually may leave her home at her own discretion. Nikah mut'ah also does not count towards a maximum of wives (four according to the Qur'an). The woman still is given her mahr, and the woman must still observe the iddah, a period of four months at the end of the marriage where she is not permitted to remarry in the case she may have become pregnant before the divorce took place. This maintains the proper lineage of children.

Requirements for Islamic Marriages:

• These are guidelines; Islamic law on divorce is different depending on the school of thought.^[127]
• The man who is not currently a fornicator can only marry a woman who is not currently a fornicatress or a chaste woman from the people of the Book.
• The woman who is not currently a fornicatress can only marry a man who is not currently a fornicator.
• The fornicator can only marry a fornicatress – and vice versa.
• The Muslim woman can only marry a Muslim man.
• The guardian may choose a suitable partner for a virgin girl, but the girl is free to contest and has the right to say 'no'.
• The guardian cannot marry the divorced woman or the widow if she didn't ask to be married.
• It is obligatory for a man to give bride wealth (gifts) to the woman he marries – "Do not marry unless you give your wife something that is her right."^[127]
• A woman who wishes to be divorced usually needs the consent of her husband. However, most schools allow her to obtain a divorce without her husband's consent if she can show the judge that her husband is impotent. If the husband consents she does not have to pay back the dower.^{[citation needed]}
• Men have the right of unilateral divorce. A divorce is effective when the man tells his wife that he is divorcing her. At this point the husband must pay the wife the "delayed" component of the dower.
• A divorced woman of reproductive age must wait four months and ten days before marrying again to ensure that she is not pregnant. Her ex-husband should support her financially during this period.^{[citation needed]}
• If a man divorces his wife three times, he can no longer marry her again unless she marries another man, and if they got divorced (only in a way that this divorce is not intended for the woman to re-marry her first husband) the woman could re-marry her first husband.^{[citation needed]}

Several hadith urge strongly against beating one's wife, such as: "How does anyone of you beat his wife as he beats the stallion camel and then embrace (sleep with) her? (Muhammad al-Bukhari, English Translation, vol. 8, hadith 68, pp. 42-43), "I went to the Apostle of Allah (peace be upon him) and asked him: What do you say (command) about our wives? He replied: Give them food what you have for yourself, and clothe them by which you clothe yourself, and do not beat them, and do not revile them. (Sunan Abi Dawood, Book 11, Marriage (Kitab Al-Nikah), Number 2139)". Others hadiths do indicate that husbands have a right to discipline their wives in a civilized manner to a certain extent:

Fear Allah concerning women! Verily you have taken them on the security of Allah, and intercourse with them has been made lawful unto you by words of Allah. You too have right over them, and that they should not allow anyone to sit on your bed whom you do not like. But if they do that, you can chastise them but not severely. Their rights upon you are that you should provide them with food and clothing in a fitting manner. (Narrated in Sahih Muslim, on the authority of Jabir ibn Abd-Allah.)

– ^[128]

According to Sheikh Yusuf al-Qaradawi, head of the European Council for Fatwa and Research:

If the husband senses that feelings of disobedience and rebelliousness are rising against him in his wife, he should try his best to rectify her attitude by kind words, gentle persuasion and reasoning with her. If this is not helpful, he should sleep apart from her, trying to awaken her agreeable feminine nature so that serenity may be restored, and she may respond to him in a harmonious fashion. If this approach fails, it is permissible for him to smack her lightly with his hands, avoiding her face and other sensitive parts. In no case should he resort to using a stick or any other instrument that might cause pain and injury.
