The word jinn in Arabic comes from a root word jim noon nun (jann) which means something that is hidden.
Allah has given us as a set rule is that we both going to exist in this world, coexist in this world, but they’re going to be able to see us and themselves, but we don’t see them. now the jinn, though They see us They don’t see the angels.
The Angelic world has been created from light. The jinns have been created from fire. Our Essence comes from clay, from water and from other elements.
King Solomon/ prophet Suleiman (A.S) was given the power over jinns. He was the only human being that had the authority given by Allah to control jinns.
jinns don’t know the Unseen World. and if jinn is telling you about the Unseen World then he’s giving you stories
In verse number 94 (surah-Al-Ma’idah), Allah loves it when we stay away from things for His sake.
Only to test you Allah allows certain things He has prohibited to be accessible to you and He makes it easy for you to do achieve that but you stay away for His sake.
When a person is married for the sake of their spouse. They would sometimes stay away from adultery Etc. But if you were to do it for the sake of Allah, it is far broader and you will achieve the happiness of your spouse too subhanallah….
Even if the person comes to you and really asks you to commit the sin with them, if you were to abstain bearing Allah in mind, aren’t you on a Higher level? You achieve the Comfort.
When adultery is very easy to commit and you still stay away from it. You’ve arrived at a different level in your relationship with Allah.
When things are prohibited, sometimes Allah might test you by making it accessible; it is so tempting to earn money in the wrong way. Allah says, do you prefer me or you prefer the money that is earned in a wrong..
Why? SubhanAllah, it’s up to you to prove yourself to Allah.
So those who stay away they have the correct relationship with Allah.
The most important acts of worship but within the Salah there is a certain position that is by far the loftiest, the most loved by Allah, the highest position considered; the position wherein which the son of Adam meaning humankind would be the closest to his Lord, SubhanAllah, the closest that a worshiper could be to his rabb, to his Lord: of sujood/ Prostration.
Sujood /prostration is solely for Allah only and solely for Allah that is one act of worship that he has given us as a gift and in the Sharia that we follow the set of rules and laws that, we follow given to us by Allah subhanahu wa’ta’ala through Muhammad sallallahu Alayhi wasallam, we were taught that it’s absolutely disallowed.
Dua in sujood/ prostration
Narrated Aisha, Ummul Mu’minin: The Apostle of Allah (saw) prostrated himself at night when reciting the Qur’an. He said repeatedly: My face prostrates itself to Him Who created it and brought forth its hearing and seeing by His might and power.
We’re not allowed to engage in prostration except for Allah subhanahu wa’ta’ala. no matter what the reason is, even if it is cultural. It still is prohibited to prostrate in the same way. You would be prostrating in sujood for anyone or anything else.
Take your time in prostration. I humble myself for Allah. Allah will raise me.
whenever you are sad, whenever you’re feeling anxious, whenever you don’t know, what’s about to happen, Whenever there is uncertainty in your life. Whenever people are trying to harm you; one of the best ways of benefiting yourself is to pray two units of prayer and to prolong your sujood.
so the prostration will help you overcome that hurt, that sadness that anxiety, those negative feelings. What will help you? Prostration will help you.
Firstly when the dajjal comes we will be tested in four ways. He will try to take our religion away from us. So that is the test of religion.
And dajjal refers to two things one is what we know is ad-dajjal /”deceiver” but then there is what is known as the fitna of dajjal.
Anything, anything at any time that is connected to any one of the tests that we have been taught that dajjal will bring forth is also part and parcel of his force.
So anyone trying to take your religion away from you is a dajjal.
They want to take their religion away from people. We all need to cling, cling to the deen. Allah says in the Quran; hold fast upon the Rope of Allah subhanahu wa’ta’ala. don’t be Disunited….
May Allah grant us unity and may Allah subhanahu wa’ta’ala grant us the ability to hold fast on those rope; the Rope here referring to the Quran and the Sunnah of Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi wasallam.
How Allah subhanaw taala rewards our honesty when we’re in a difficult situation. As people start to experience financial uncertainty like many forms of uncertainty; certain options become available to them and certain things open up for them.
There is a unique hardship; a unique way of a person finding themselves in a way that they could be tempted to haram when they’re in a difficult situation.
There’s something to be said about a person who holds onto their principles and does not lose them in a situation of hardship and in a situation of particularly the pinch of financial hardship.
Rewarding a person for their honesty that whoever is mindful of Allah Subhanahu wa’ta’ala during a dire need like financial hardship, Allah subhanaw Taala will make a way out for them and and Allah will provide them from places and with things from places that they would not have expected before.
The source of the rizq and the output of the rizq; the source of the sustenance as well as the output of the sustenance are unknown to you when you choose to practice taqwa, when you choose to practice piety and god-consciousness, even in a tight situation, even in a difficult situation and whoever entrusts Allah with all of their Affairs then Allah subhanaw taala will be sufficient for that person in regards to everything.
You don’t know the rizq that you will see in your life through other business opportunities that Allah will decree that come your way because of you abandoning that haram, You don’t know the blessing/ the Baraka that Allah will put in the money that you earn from halal.
What would it have cost me to have come out and be nice to them and so on?
some people say but why don’t you discuss this particular topic, for those of them who are my friends I tell them, well, have you discussed, they say, yes. Well then isn’t that enough? I mean look you’re doing one thing. I’m doing one thing. I’m not going to tell you do what I’m doing. So, please don’t tell me do what you’re doing because all of this we’re working for the same boss, for the same deen.
We’re calling towards the same Allah. So, it’s amazing how it doesn’t cost us to be kind to be nice.
You have to be kind to everyone. You have to smile at everyone. You have to greet everyone. You have to try and listen…. , I’m speaking to her as though she’s my own sister, someone is crying and a lot of the times one good word from you would change her life by the help of Allah. Why not, that’s your opportunity.
From the authentic Hadith that praying tahajjud actually help safeguard you from illnesses and kind of sicknesses.
Out of the entire night, there is one part of the night which is more special and more valuable to pray tahajjud in and that is the last third of the night.
An authentic Hadith in which the prophet (saw) said that Allah subhanaw Taala descends to the lowest heaven in the last third of the night. Allah descends the last third of the night and then He looks upon the people of the earth and says who is calling upon Me for I am here to respond, who is asking Me for I will give, who is seeking My forgiveness I will forgive them, SubhanAllah.
An Incident from the prophet (saw)’s life in which he said on one occasion when he saw an individual lying on the ground by the name of ya’ish ibn thkfah. He (saw) saw him lying on the ground on his stomach. So he came and when he woke up and he looked at the prophet (saw). He (saw) told him this is the method of lying which God hates.
A list of doctor’s recommendation to avoid spinal problems; Number one: on the list was not to sleep on your stomach.
1400 years ago Muslims, when the prophet (Saw) said don’t do it, because it’s hated by Allah. They stopped doing it though they used to like to sleep on their stomach just like we do and over these 1400 years they benefited. All the people who didn’t do it were harmed one way or another.
That’s how we should approach the things which Allah has prohibited and disliked and it’s better not to do it. Stay away from it because there’s harm in it. Even if we can’t see where the harm is…
The prophet Muahmmad (Saw) warned 1400 ago, when nobody had any idea….
Many of us have an issue sometimes where if we don’t like someone we find it difficult to greet them or to respond to the greeting. Allah says when you are greeted, reply the greeting.
So this is something you need to know greet people and respond to their Greetings in a beautiful way and Allah will open your doors.
if there is someone who you know for a fact, is making a mockery of it Then you don’t respond that particular lies. The lies are because they’re telling you peace be upon you but they don’t mean it at all.
However, Allah says still try to greet back.
When your greet someone, be genuine. This is Allah teaching us clean your heart.
When you do something particularly, well, then it really hurts to have your integrity called in a question in regards to that particular matter.
So, when you’re particularly good with something then an accusation in that matter is particularly hurtful.
Once you start to spread those types of rumors, then you just create a profile about a person. The goal here… It’s like islamophobics do, right?
The goal is not to actually have anything verifiable against you as to create enough suspicion to where they can profile you.
So if I throw enough stuff out him then some of it will stick.
Our deen/ religion places such care on verification on not profiling people. By virtue of the abundance of news that exist about them as was done with uthman (Ra)
