After it rains, one should say: مُطِرْنا بِفَضْلِ اللهِ وَرَحْمَتِه Mutirna bi fadlillahi wa rahmatihi Translation: It has rained through the grace and mercy of Allah. [Sahih Bukhari, Hadith: 846/1048 and Sahih Muslim, Hadith: 71] These are only some of the sunnah du’as to be recited when it rains. Acceptance of Du’a Du’as are accepted at the time of rain: Sunnan Abu Dawud Hadith 2533; Mustadrak Hakim vol.2 pg.114-Hadith 2535. This Hadith has been classified as Sahih by Imams Hakim, Dhahabiy-ibid and Shawkani; Tufatul Dhakirin pg.69. Also refer to Adhkar of Imam Nawawi] In some countries, the masses are so aware of this, that when it rains you will see people standing and making du’a, from wherever they may be. Lets implement these sunnats and respond to rain the sunnah way! Source

The Sunnah Response to Rain When referring to rain, Allah Ta’ala has mentioned dual purpose. In one verse, He says: “And he is the One who sends the winds ahead of his mercy” i.e, rain [Surah Furqan, verse: 48] In another verse Allah Ta’ala says: “When they (the nation of Aad) saw a cloud approaching their valleys, they said, ‘This could will give us rain’ Nay! It is the calamity you were to be hastened. A wind wherein is a grievous punishment.” [Surah Ahqaf, verse: 24] The Multi Effect Allah Ta’ala has complete control over everything. Within the blink of an eye He can change good conditions into adversity and adversity into good. He can create benefit for a certain people and yet harm others with the very same matter. Rain for example, is one of those components as is witnessed by all and could be understood by the above verse of the Quran. A Sahabi (radiyallahu ‘anhu) once requested Rasulullah (sallallahu ’alayhi wasallam) during the Friday sermon to make Du’a for rain. The following Friday, the very same companion asked Nabi (sallallahu ’alayhi wasallam) to ask Allah to stop the rain as it had rained continuously the entire week and was causing difficulty. [Sahih Bukhari] Sunnah Du’as Due to this multiple effect of rain it was the practice of our beloved Nabi (sallallahu ’alayhi wasallam) that whenever the winds would blow –which is a natural forecast of rain –his colour would change and he would become worried. Upon enquiry, he would say: “I fear that it could be a punishment for my ummah.” He would also recite the following du’a: اَللهُم إني أسْألُكَ خيرَها وَخَيْرَ ما فِيها وَخيرَ ما أُرْسِلَتْ به، وَأعُودُ بِكَ مِنْ شَرها وَشر ما فيها وشر ما أُرْسِلَتْ به Allahumma inni as-aluka khayraha wa khayra ma fiha wa khayra ma ursilat bihi, wa a’uzhubika min sharriha wa sharri ma fiha wa sharri ma ursilat bihi Translation: O Allah! I beseech thee for the good of it, the good in it, the good that it brings, and I seek refuge in you from its evil, the evil that’s in it and the evil that comes with it. [Sahih Muslim, Hadith: 2082] Thereafter, if it rained calmly, he would become relieved to such an extent that he would even go into the rain, open his chest or any part of his body and let the rain fall on his body so as to take blessing from it. Upon enquiry, Rasulullah (sallallahu ’alayhi wasallam) said: “Indeed it (the rain) has just recently come from my lord.” [Sahih Muslim Hadith: 2080] The following Du’a were also recited by Rasulullah (sallallahu ’alayhi wasallam) whilst it rained: اللهم صَيبًا نافِعا Allahumma sayyiban nafi’a Translation: O Allah! let it be a beneficial downpour. [Sahih Bukhari, Hadith: 1032] During a severe downpour Rasulullah (sallallahu ’alayhi wasallam) would recite: اللهم حَوَالَيْنا ولا عَلَيْنا Allahumma hawalayna wala ‘alaina Translation: O Allah! (let rain) around us and not upon us. [Sahih Bukhari, Hadith: 1013 and Sahih Muslim, Hadith: 2076] And if it thundered, Rasulullah (sallallahu’alayhi wasallam) would recite: اللهم لا تَقْتُلْنا بِغَضَبِك وَلا تُهْلِكْنا بِعدابِك وعافِنا قَبْلَ دلِك Allahumma la taqtulna bi ghadhabik wa la tuhlikna bi ‘adhabik, wa ‘afina qabla dhalik Translation: O Allah! do not kill us through your anger, and do not destroy us through your punishment. Save us before your punishment. [Sunan Tirmidhi, Hadith: 3450, Musnad Ahmad, Hadith: 5763 and Al-Adabul Mufrad, Hadith: 742] This Hadith has been classified sahih by Imams: Hakim and Dhahabi (rahimahumallah)- Mustadrak, vol.2 pg.286 as well as by Hafiz Ibn Hajar and ‘Allamah Jazri (rahimahumallah)- Al-Futuhatur Rabbaniyyah, vol.4 pg.284  Continue....

Virtues Of Reciting Surah Kahf On Fridays Rasulullah (Allah bless him & give him peace) said: “The person who recites Surah Kahf on Fridays, a nur will appear for him from below the arsh as high as the skies. This light will help him in the darkness of the day of resurrection . And all the sins which he may have committed from the last Friday till this Friday will be forgiven . ” (Sharh Sifrus-Sa’aadah) The ulama have written that this Hadith refers to minor sins because major sins are not forgiven without making taubah.

Sending Salat And Durood Upon Prophet ﷺ • The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: “Of your best days is Friday. On it Adam was created; and on it his (soul) was taken; and on it is the blowing (of the Trumpet); and on it is the Swoon. Therefore, increase in sending your Salat upon me, for your salat upon me are presented to me.” They said: “O Messenger of Allah! And how will our Salat upon you be presented to you after you have perished?” He replied: “Indeed, Allah, the Mighty and Sublime, has prohibited the earth from (destroying) the bodies of the Prophets.” [Narrated by Abu Dawud in his Sunan #1047, Ibn Khuzaimah #1733 and Ibn Hibban #910 in their respective Saheehs, and Hakim in Mustadrak 1/278 He said, It is authentic on the conditions of Bukhari and Zahabi agreed.] • Based on this Imam Shafe’e used to say, “I love to send plenty of salat upon the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) all the time and I love it more so on the day of Jumuah.” [Kitabul Umm 1/546] • Ibn Mas’ud reported: The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said: أَوْلَى النَّاسِ بِي يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ أَكْثَرُهُمْ عَلَيَّ صَلَاةً The closest of the people to me on the Day of Resurrection are those who most often invoked blessings upon me.

Adab means that a person ensures at every moment that he does not cause the slightest amount of inconvenience or difficulty to the next person. —Huzaifa Saleh

❝You don't truly appreciate something until you lose it.❞ أنك لا تعرف قيمة ما تملك إلا حين فقدانه Only when you see that empty chair where your mother or father used to sit, or you see that old coat they used to wear, or you don't see that incoming call from your parents,Al only then will you realise what you have lost!! You will regret why you didn't do more for them and didn't spend more time with them. You'd trade the world, just to see them one more time ... but it will be too late. Now you may have the opportunity today - seize it. May Allah grant our parents a long pious life with good health and if they have passed away: settle them in the highest of Paradise, Ameen —Shaykh Hasan Ali
