Whoever prayed

The Prophet sallallahu alayhe wa sallam said,

"Whoever prayed Ishaa in congregation (in Masjid), it is as if he stood up in prayer for half the night, and whoever prayed the Fajr in congregation (in Masjid), it is as if he prayed the whole night"

[Sahih Muslim].

Translation: Nasrin As.Salafiyah

there is a hour during the night,

The Prophet sallallahu alayhe wa sallam said, "Indeed, there is a hour during the night, no Muslim man (woman) attains it asking Allah from the goods of the duniah and the akhirah except that Allah bestows it upon him (her), and that is every night" [Sahih Muslim]

*So, no need to stay up only 15th of Sha'ban to make dua to Allah to accept from you. Ok. You can do at any night of the year.

Invoke Me

He, the Most High said, "And your Lord said: "Invoke Me, [i.e. believe in My Oneness (Islâmic Monotheism)] (and ask Me for anything) I will respond to your (invocation). Verily! Those who scorn My worship [i.e. do not invoke Me, and do not believe in My Oneness, (Islâmic Monotheism)] they will surely enter Hell in humiliation!" (Ghafir 40:60).

As-Shawkaanee rahimahu Allah said, "Indeed, He, subhanahu wa ta'ala ordered His servants to call on Him, then He said, 'Verily! Those who scorn My worship [i.e. do not invoke Me, and do not believe in My Oneness, (Islâmic Monotheism)] they will surely enter Hell in humiliation!' That points out that the dua/supplication is an act of worship, and leaving off of supplicating to the Rabb subhanahu ta'ala is arrogance, and there is nothing uglier than this arrogance." [Tuhfatudth Zaakireen 28].

***May Allah give me and you tawfeeq to call on Him to give us what we desire. Allahumma Ameen, ya Rabb.

There is not a man who commits a sin

Abu Bakr As-Siddiq radi Allahu anhu narrated, the Prophet sallallahu alayhe wa sallam said:

"There is not a man who commits a sin, then he performs wudhu (ablution), then he prays - in another narration - (prays) two rakat, then seeks forgiveness of Allah, except that Allah forgives him"

[Abu Dawud and At-Tirmidhi reported the hadith, authenticated by Shaykh Al-Albanee].

Do not call upon yourself except

The Messenger of Allah sallallahu alayhe wa sallam said,

[Sahih Muslim].

pleasant smell

Abi Qallaabah rahimahu Allah related that

when Ibn Abbas radi Allahu anhu used to go out of his house to the Masjid, the neighbors on the way knew that he has indeed passed (this way) due to his pleasant smell (they could sense the good smell].

[Al-Adab by Ibn Abi Shaybah 92].

Translation: Nasrin Akther

***
For the brothers! Smell as good as that InshaaAllah as you go to the masjid...

If Allah wants good for one of His servant, then He bestows upon him three characteristics:

If Allah wants good for one of His servant, then He bestows upon him three characteristics: 1. Understanding of the Religion, 2. Abstinence from the Dunia, and 3. Knowledge of his shortcomings.

[Muhammad bin Ka'ab Al-Qardee. Az-zuhud by Ibn Al-Mubarak, 282]

Translation: Nasrin Akther

"The best of actions are: 1. To make one of your believing brother happy, 2. To pay off a debt for him, 3. or to give him bread"

The Prophet sallallahu alayhe wa sallam said,

"The best of actions are: 1. To make one of your believing brother happy, 2. To pay off a debt for him, 3. or to give him bread"

[As-silsilah As-Sahihah 1494, Shaykh Al-Albane graded it as good].

Remember Allah at (the times of) ease, He will remember you at (the times of) hardship

Addahaakh bin Qaees rahimahu Allah said:

Remember Allah at (the times of) ease, He will remember you at (the times of) hardship

Indeed Yunus alayhis salam was a righteous slave who remembered Allah, so when he fell in the stomach of the whale,

Allah said, "Had he not been of them who glorify Allâh. He would have indeed remained inside its belly (the fish) till the Day of Resurrection" (As-Saffat 37:143-144).

And indeed Firaoon was a tyrant slave who was forgetful regarding the remembrance of Allah,

so when, "Till when drowning overtook him, he said: "I believe that Lâ ilâha illa (Huwa): (none has the right to be worshipped but) He," in Whom the Children of Israel believe, and I am one of the Muslims (those who submit to Allâh's Will). Now (you believe) while you refused to believe before and you were one of the Mufsidûn (evil-doers, corrupts, etc.)" (Yunus 10:90-91).

Reported by Ibn Abee Saybah 137/7.
