Whoever read Ayatul Kursi after every Fard Salah, he will be under the protection and security of Allah. (Dailmi on the Authority of Sayeduna Ali)

Translation

In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful.
Allah! There is no God but He,
the Living, the Self-subsisting, the Eternal.
No slumber can seize Him, nor sleep.
All things in heaven and earth are His.
Who could intercede in His presence without His permission?
He knows what appears in front of and behind His creatures.
Nor can they encompass any knowledge of Him except what he wills.
His throne extends over the heavens and the earth,
and He feels no fatigue in guarding and preserving them,
for He is the Highest and Most Exalted.

4 Short Powerful Dua

1. To overcome fear of Authority/ruler
”Wa Ufawwidu Amree ilallaah inallaaha baseerun bil ibad”

(Ch. Al-Ghafir, or Mu’min (40), vs. 44)

So you shall remember what I say to you, and I entrust my affair to Allah, Surely Allah sees the servants.

2. For Rizq (sustenance)
”Mashaallahu laa Quwwata illa billah"

(Ch. Al-Kahf (18), vs. 39)

And wherefore did you not say when you entered your garden: It is as Allah has pleased, there is no power save in Allah? If you consider me to be inferior to you in wealth and children

3. For Sorrows/sufferings
La ila ha illa anta subhanaka inni kuntu minazzalimeen

(Ch. Al-Anbiya (21): vs. 87)

And Yunus, when he went away in wrath, so he thought that We would not straiten him, so he called out among afflictions: There is no god but Thou, glory be to Thee; surely I am of those who make themselves to suffer loss.


4. Other issues/Needs
Hasbunallah wa ni'mal wakeel

(Ch. Aale I’mraan (3), vs. 173)

Those to whom the people said: Surely men have gathered against you, therefore fear them, but this increased their faith, and they said: Allah is sufficient for us and most excellent is the Protector.


There are some preconditions for it to be accepted ,like a person is to be married before he can pray & wish for a child.:-
a. Taqwa -Fear of Allah swt
b. Efforts & Perseverance.Efforts like that of Sarah between safa & Marwah & Patience in not giving up &continuing upto 7 rounds
c. Conviction that it can work & not an attitude of what can one line do

Surah-95 (Surah Wat-Tin) - The Fig

The Tafsir of Surah Wat-Tin waz-Zaytun (chapter 95)
Which was revealed in Makkah

The recitation of Surat At-Tin in the prayer while traveling
Malik and Shu'bah narrated from Adi bin Thabit, who narrated that Al-Bara bin Azib said, "The Prophet (pbuh) used to recite in one of his Rakahs while traveling 'At-Tin waz-Zaytun' (Surah At-Tin), and I have never heard anyone with a nicer voice or recitation than him." The group has recorded this Hadith in their books.









In the Name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful.

1) By At-Tin and Az-Zaytun. (By the Fig and the Olive)
2) By Tur Sinin. (By Mount Sinai)
3) By this city of security.
4) Indeed, We created man in the best form.
5) Then We reduced him to the lowest of the low.
6) Except those who believe and do righteous deeds. Then they shall have a reward without end.
7) Then what causes you to deny after this the Recompense?
8) Is not Allah the best of judges?

The Explanation of At-tin
Al-awfi reported from Ibn Abbas that what is meant by At-tin is the Masjid of Nuh that was built upon Mount Al-Judi. Mujahid said, "It is this fig that you have".

The Explanation of Az-Zaytun
Ka'b Al-Ahbar, Qatadah, Ibn Zayd and others have said, "It is the Masjid of Jerusalem (Bayt Al-Maqdis)." Mujahid and 'Ikrimah said, "It is this olve which you press (to extract the oil).

The Explanation of Tur Sinin
Ka'b Al-Ahbar and several others have said, "It is the mountain upon which Allah spoke to Musa"

The Explanation of the city of security
meaning Makkah. This was said by Ibn Abbas, Mujahid, 'Ikrimah, Al-Hasan, Ibrahim An-Nakha'i, Ibn Zayd and Ka'b Al-Ahbar. There is no difference of opinion about this. Some of the Imams have said that these are three different places, and that Allah sent a Messenger to each of them the Leading Messengers, who delieverd the Great Codes of Law.

The first place is that of the fig anf the olive, which was Jerusalem, where Allah sent Isa bin Maryam (Jesus son of Mary). The second place is Mount Sinin, which is Mount Sinai where Allah spoke to Musa bin Imran (Moses). The third place is Makkah, and it is the city of security in which Muhammed (pbuh) was sent. They have said that these three places are mentioned at the end of the Tawrah (Torah). The verse says, "Allah has come from Mount Sinai - meaning the one upon which Allah spoke to Musa bin Imran (Moses); and shined from Sa'ir - meaning the mountain of Jerusalem from which Allah sent Isa bin Maryam (Jesus); and appeared from the mountains of Faran - meaning the mountains of Makkah from which Allah sent Muhammed (pbuh)."
Thus, He mentioned them in order to inform about them based upon their order of existence in time. This is why He swore by a noble, then by a nobler place, and then by a place that is the nobler than both of them.

Man becoming Lowly even though He was created in the Best Form and the Result of that.
(95:4) "Indeed, We created man in the best form"
This is the subject being sworn about, and it is that Allah created man in the best image and form, standing upright with straight limbs that He beautified.

(95:5) "Then We reduced him to the lowest of the low"
meaning, to the Hellfire. This was said by Mujahid, Abu Al-Aliyah, Al-Hasan, Ibn Zayd and others. Then after this attractiveness and beauty, their destination will be to the Hell-fire if they disobey Allah and belie the Messengers. This is why Allah says,

(95:6) "Except those who believe and do righteous deeds. Then they shall have a reward without end."
meaning that those who believe and do righteous deeds are not the lowest of the low but instead will have endless reward.

(95:7) "Then what causes you to deny after this the Recompense?"
After referring to the creation of man in perfect shape, the surah poses a question. As man knows about his creation from nothing, what causes him to deny the Day of Resurrection? The Creator who created him once is capable of bringing him to life again after his death.

(95:8) "Is not Allah the best of judges?"
The surah finally, in the form of a question, emphasizes that Allah is the wisest of judges. In order that He should not do injustice, He will have the Day of Judgment. According to a hadith, Abu Huraira said that one, after reciting the last verse, should say "Wa ana ala dhalika min ash-shahidin" (No doubt, and I testify to it)

This is the end of the Tafsir of Surah wat-tin waz-Zaytun and all praise and thanks are due to Allah.

Surah-94 (Surat Ash-Sharh) The Relief

The tafsir of Surah Alam Nashrah (chapter-94)
Which was revealed in Makkah







In The Name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful.

1) Have We not opened your breast for you?
2) And removed from you your burden.
3) Which weighed down your back?
4) And have We not raised high your fame?
5) Indeed, with every hardship is relief.
6) Indeed, with every hardship is relief.
7) So when you have finished, devote yourself to Allah's worship.
8) And to your lord turn intentions and hopes.

The Meaning of opening the Breast
Allah says,



["Have We not opened your breast for you?"] meaning, 'have We not opened your chest for you?'. This means, 'We illuminated it, and We made it spacious, vast and wide.' This is as Allah says,




(6:125)
"And whomsoever Allah wills to guide, He opens his breast to Islam"

And just as Allah expanded his chest, He also made His Law vast, wide, accommodating and easy, containing no difficulty, hardship or burden.

A discussion of Allah's Favor upon His Messenger (pbuh)
Concerning Allah's statement,





"And removed from you your burden" (94:2)

This means,



"That Allah may forgive you your sins of the past and the future" (48:2)





"Which weighed down your back?" Al-Inqad means the sound. And more than one of the Salaf has said concerning Allah's saying,



"Which weighed down your back?" meaning, 'it's burden weighed heavy upon you'.

The Meaning of raising the Fame of the Prophet (pbuh)
Allah then said,



"And have We not raised high your fame?" (94:4)
Mujahud said, "I (Allah) am not remembered except that you are remembered with Me: I bear witness that there is no God worthy of worship except Allah, and that Muhammed is the Messenger of Allah".
Qatadah said, "Allah raised his fame in this life and in the Hereafter. There is no one who gives a sermon, declares the testimony of faith (Shahadah), or prays a prayer (Salah) except that he proclaims it: I bear witness that there is no God worthy of worship except Allah, and that Muhammed is the Messenger of Allah."

Ease after Difficulty
Concerning Allah's saying,



"Indeed, along with every hardship is relief. Indeed, along with every hardship is relief."
(94:6 and 7)

Allah informs that with difficulty there is ease, and then He reaffirms this information by repeating it.

The Command to remember Allah during the Spare Time
Allah says,



"So when you have finished, devote yourself to Allah's worship. And to your Lord turn intentions and hopes" (94: 7 and 8)

Meaning, 'when you have completed your worldy affairs and its tasks, and you have broken away from its routine, then get up to perform the worship, and stand for it with zeal (passion), complete devotion and purify your intention and desire for your Lord.'

Similar to this is the Prophet's (pbuh) statement in a Hadith that is agreed-upon to be authentic,
"There is no prayer when the food is served, nor when the two foul things (excrement and urine) are pressing a person."

The prophet (pbuh) also said,
"When the prayer has started and the dinner has been served, then begin with the dinner"

Mujahid said concerning this Ayah, "When you are free from the worldy affairs, and you have stood to pray, then stand up for your Lord"

This is the end of the Tafsir of Surah Alam Nashrah and all praise and blessings are due to Allah.

Peace and Anger

Islam: A religion of Peace
The word 'Islam' means submission, and derives from the word 'Salaam' which means peace. Wherever you go, you'll hear muslims greet each other saying 'Assalaamu-Alaykum', meaning 'May peace be upon you'. The response being 'Wa-Alaykum As-Salaam', meaning 'And Peace be with you'. So even before conversing with each other, salutations of peace are given.

In everyday life, we, as Human beings, go through the experience of feeling anger for whatever reason. The question is, is anger really the correct response to the situation? Perhaps by instinct, but of wisdom also? The answer is no. Anger is not the right approach. And as muslims, we must strive to keep peace.

Anger according to the Quran and Sunnah

Fussilat 41:34






" The good deed and the evil deed cannot be equal. Repel (the evil) with one which is better (i.e. Allâh ordered the faithful believers to be patient at the time of anger, and to excuse those who treat them badly), then verily! he, between whom and you there was enmity, (will become) as though he was a close friend."

Al-'Imran 3:134







" Those who spend [in Allâh's Cause - deeds of charity, alms, etc.] in prosperity and in adversity, who repress anger, and who pardon men; verily, Allâh loves Al-Muhsinûn (the good­doers)."

Hadith - Sahih Al-Bukhari 8.135, Narrated Abu Huraira, r.a.

Allah's Apostle (saaws) said, "The strong is not the one who overcomes the people by his strength, but the strong is the one who controls himself while in anger."

Hadith - Sahih Al-Bukhari 8.137, Narrated Abu Huraira, r.a.

A man said to the Prophet , "Advise me!" The Prophet said, "Do not become angry and furious." The man asked (the same) again and again, and the Prophet said in each case, "Do not become angry and furious."

Conclusion

I would just like to finish this by quoting from Surah An-Nisa.
(4:128)

"...And making peace (reconcilliation) is better".

Surah Fatiha (chapter 1)

The meaning of Al-fatihah and its Various names:
This surah is called Al-Fatihah, that is, the Opener of the Book, the surah with which the prayers are begun. It is also called 'Umm Al-Kitab' (the Mother of the book), according to the majority of the scholars.

Surah Al-Fatiha: Ayah 1 to 7: Translation

3. Most Gracious, Most Merciful;

4. Master of the Day of Judgment.

5. Thee do we worship, and Thine aid we seek.

6. Show us the straight way,

7. The way of those on whom Thou hast bestowed Thy Grace, those whose (portion) is not wrath, and who go not astray.

Surah Al-Fatiha and the Prayer

Muslim recorded that Abu Hurayrah said that the Prophet said,

"Whoever performs any prayer in which he did not read Umm Al-Qur'an, then his prayer is incomplete." He said it thrice.

Virtues of Al-Fatihah
Imam Ahmad bin Hanbal recorded in the Musnad that Abu Sa'id bin Al-Mu'alla said, "I was praying when the Prophet (pbuh) called me, so I did not answer him until I finished the prayer. I then went to him and he said, "What prevented you from coming?" I said, 'O Messenger of Allah! I was praying.' He said, "Didn't Allah say",
"O You who believe! Answer Allah (by obeying Him) and (His) Messenger (pbuh) when he calls you to that which gives you life?"

He, (pbuh), then said:
"I will teach you the greatest surah in the Quran before you leave the Masjid".
He held my hand and when he was about to leave the Masjid, I said, 'O Messenger of Allah! You said: 'I will teach you the greatest surah in the Quran.' He said, "Yes"

"Al Hamdu Lillahi Rabbil-Alamin"

"It is the seven repeated (verses) and the Glorious Quran that I was given"

One Islam

Assalamu-alaikum brothers and sisters. The main purpose of this blog 'One Islam' is to try and encourage awareness of your religion. Also, to help understanding of the Quran which are the words of Allah.

I would like to also take this oppurtunity to explain the title chosen for this blog i.e 'One Islam'. The reason for this is that Islam should not be divided. Allah states this clearly in the Quran:

(6:159)





"Verily, those who divide their religion and break up into sects (all kinds of religious sects), you (O Muhammed

صلى الله عليه وسلم) have no concern in them in the least. Their affair is with Allah, Who will then tell them what they used to do."

Furthermore,

(42:13)

"He (Allah) has ordained for you the same religion (Islamic monotheism) which He ordained for Nuh (Noah), and that We have revealed to you (O Muhammed

صلى الله عليه وسلم), and that which We ordained for Ibrahim (Abraham), Musa (Moses) and Isa (Jesus) saying you should establish religion (i.e to do what it orders you to do practically) and make no divisions in it (religion) (i.e various religious sects). Intolerable for the Mushrikun is that (Islamic monotheism) to which you (O Muhammed

صلى الله عليه وسلم) call them. Allah chooses for Himself whom He wills, and guides unto Himself who turns to Him in repentance and in obediance."

So we see from the Quran, Allah's words, that we should remain as one Ummah, and not divide ourselves into various sects. So when you are asked whether you are 'Sunni' or 'Shia', your answer is simply 'I am a Muslim'.
