Islamic Reminders

Our Lord, give us joy in our spouses and offspring. Make us good examples to those who are aware of You. [Sūrah al-Furqān, Verse 74]

Abū Hurayrah رضي الله عنه reported Allāh's Messenger ﷺ as saying: The most excellent fast after Ramaḍān is Allāh's month, Muḥarram, and the most excellent prayer after what is prescribed is prayer during the night. [Ṣaḥīḥ Muslim 1163a]

Narrated by ibn al-ʿAbbās رضي الله عنه‎: When (the dead body of) ʿUmar was put on his deathbed, the people gathered around him and invoked (Allāh) and prayed for him before the body was taken away, and I was amongst them. Suddenly I felt somebody taking hold of my shoulder and found out that he was ʿAlī ibn ʾAbī Ṭālib. ʿAlī invoked Allāh's Mercy for ʿUmar and said, "O ʿUmar! You have not left behind you a person whose deeds I like to imitate and meet Allāh with more than I like your deeds. By Allāh! I always thought that Allāh would keep you with your two companions, for very often I used to hear the Prophet (ﷺ) saying, 'I, Abū Bakr and ʿUmar went (somewhere); I, Abū Bakr and ʿUmar entered (somewhere); and I, Abū Bakr and ʿUmar went out.’” [Ṣaḥīḥ al-Bukhārī 3685]

Narrated ʿAbd Allāh ibn Masʿūd رضي الله عنه: The Prophet ﷺ said, "Whoever slaps his face or tears the bosom of his dress, or calls the calls of the Period of Ignorance, is not from us." [Ṣaḥīḥ al-Bukhārī 3519]

Surely your Lord knows that you stand in prayer for nearly two-thirds of the night, or sometimes half of it, or a third, as do some of those with you. Allah alone keeps a precise measure of the day and night. He knows that you believers are unable to endure this, and has turned to you in mercy. So recite in prayer whatever you can from the Qurʾān. He knows that some of you will be sick, some will be travelling throughout the land seeking Allah’s bounty, and some fighting in the cause of Allah. So recite whatever you can from it. And continue to perform regular prayers, pay zakah, and lend to Allah a good loan. Whatever good you send forth for yourselves, you will find it with Allah far better and more rewarding. And seek Allah’s forgiveness. Surely Allah is All-Forgiving, Most Merciful. [Sūrah al-Muzzammil, Verse 20]
