In summer, the caravans would travel to Syria (including Jordan and Lebanon), Gaza and Ankara (which was then the capital of Rome). Heraclius, the Byzantine emperor would also approach Haashim with utmost respect and would often present gifts to him. ❍┈─┅═••࿇✠ ࿇••┅─┄❍ To be continued ان شاء اللہ #seerah WhatsApp (Only for sisters 🧕) - https://chat.whatsapp.com/GMmLlVv3SL1IZOMvGn2LU9 Telegram - T.me/Gemsofjannah98 Instagram - https://instagram.com/gemsofjannah_98?igshid=MzRlODBiNWFlZA==

🌸 اسلام عليكم ورحمتہ اللہ وبرکاتہ 🌸اعوذ بالله من الشیطان الرجیم 🌸بسم اللہ الرحمن الرحیم SEERAH OF PROPHET MUHAMMEDﷺ 💌 REASON FOR THE NAME OF QURAYSH 💌 🔖 Quraysh is actually the name of a marine animal, which, owing to its great strength, dominates all other marine animals. It promptly devours all other sea creatures but none dares to overwhelm it. Similarly, the Quraysh, owing to their unrivalled valour and incredible courage, always maintained their dominance over the other tribes. None dared to overwhelm them. This is why they were referred to as Quraysh . K'ab : The person to initiate the weekly congregation on Fridays was K'ab bin Luway, K'ab bin Luway would assemble all the people every Friday and deliver a sermon. He would firstly praise Allah Ta'ala and explain that Allah Ta'ala created the skies, the earth, the moon, the sun and all other forms of creation. He would then go on to give them some advice. He would encourage them to maintain favourable family ties. He would also mention: "A prophet is to appear amongst my descendants. If you happen to encounter that time, make sure you follow him." At times he would recite the following stanza: إذا فريش تبغى الحق خذلانا ياليتني شاهد فحواء دعوته "If only I could be present when he (Rasulullah صلى الله عليه وسلم) proclaims his message, when the Quraysh will irrationally shun the truth and forsake him rather deplorably. Abdu Manaaf : Imaam Shaafi'ee says that 'Abdu Manaaf's name was Mughirah. He was exceptionally handsome and striking. This is why he was known as Qamar Al-Bathaa (the moon of the valley of Makkah). The following statement was found inscribed on a stone: انا المغيرة بن قصى أمر بتقوى الله وصلة الرحم "I Mughirah bin Qusayy, enjoin Allah-consciousness and maintenance of favourable family ties. " Haashim : Imaam Maalik and Imaam Shaafi'ee say that Haashim's actual name was 'Amr. During a severe drought in Makkah, Haashim fed its inhabitants with roti crushed into gravy, hence the name Haashim. (Haashim means the crusher). As a poet says: ورجال مكة مسنتون عجاف عمرو العلا هشم الثريد لقومه "The exalted 'Amr crushed bread into Thareed (meat dish) and fed it to his people and to all others when the people of Makkah were left pathetically feeble by the drought." This did not occur only once, but he fed them in this manner on a number of occasions. He was exceedingly generous. His food table was enormously wide. His table was open to every newcomer or traveller. He would provide the poor travellers with camels to complete their journeys. He was exceptionally handsome. The noor of prophethood would glimmer on his forehead. The Ulama of the Bani Israa'eel would fall into sajdah and kiss his hands whenever they caught sight of him. A number of Arab tribes and the Ulama of the Banu Israa'eel would offer their daughters' hands in marriage to Haashim. In fact, on one occasion, Heraclius, the Byzantine emperor wrote to Haashim thus: "I have learnt of your unrivalled generosity. I wish to grant you my daughter's hand in marriage. She is a princess unparalleled in beauty. In order to perform the nikah with the princess, kindly come over to us." However, Haashim refused to accept the proposal. In actual fact, the emperor's key objective was to transmit the noor of prophethood that was glimmering on Haashims forehead into the royal family. It is said that Haashim passed away at the age of twenty-five. Haashim was the first to initiate the custom of sending off two trade caravans a year, a caravan to Syria in summer and a caravan to Yemen in winter. According to this unvarying custom, a caravan would set out in every season of the year. Over desolate swathes of land, through scorching deserts and dangerous journeys by land and sea, these caravans would travel in winter towards Yemen and beyond going right up to as far as Ethiopia. Negus, the emperor of Ethiopia was exceedingly hospitable towards Haashim and would present a number of gifts to him.

⛱️ ﷽ ⛱️ ✨ *Does Belief in Qadr Justify Passivity* ✨ *So, how could belief in Divine Decree shapes the believer's attitude?* *Continued.....✍🏻* Accordingly, all life occurrences are predestined by Allah the Creator; the believer is then demanded to repel the preordained evil by means of the preordained good such as in repelling disbelief by means of belief, innovation by means of Sunnah of the Prophet, sin by means of obedience, ailment by means of medicine, ignorance by means of knowledge, aggression by means of striving, and poverty by means of labor, etc. Therefore, it is completely wrong to regard predestined incidents in part. This partial view may make us decline to face evil when it appears and rather make us think we should surrender thereto and never try to resist it. Notwithstanding, if we have a comprehensive look at the incident, we would then realize that it is Allah Who throws good and evil before us in this present life; He puts us to the test as to see what choice we may make. Given this, when evil occurs, the believer is faced with three available choices: First: To accept, embrace and cherish evil; Second: To give up to evil; Third: To repel evil by means of good. Undoubtedly, the third choice is what is intended here as a test to the believer’s will as cited by Ibn Taimiyyah from Imam `Abdel Qadir Al-Jilani.[3] This can be illustrated by a simple but dramatic example: if someone cheats on others, breaks the oath of allegiance to his country, kills the innocent, and takes what is not his by means of deceit, fraud and aggression, then the believers will have three choices which run as follows: 1. Either they accept, embrace and support the evil he has committed and thus become “accessories after the fact” and they may even start to justify atrocities of the perpetrator; Or, they surrender to evil and submit themselves to the will of the perpetrator and dare not defy him in any way out of cowardice and fearfulness; 2. Or, they stand by the truth, do their best to support it, defy the evil with all possible legitimate means, and try to restore the truth to its owners. 3. It is now obvious that the last choice is what is demanded from true believers and those who claim to be faithful followers of Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him).

⚜️🤎 Send lots of Salawat upon the Prophet 🤎⚜️ Sending ṣalāwat upon the Prophet ﷺ on Friday is better than on the rest of the days, and its night (Thursday night) is the best of nights.
