App Recommendation - Salaah: Muslim Prayer

I've just come across this app today - available on Android and also iOS devices (iPhone, iPad etc) too.

It is a pretty simple app with a pretty simple goal: A step by step guide to prayer and its precursors.

Prayer is something where many can feel embarrassed to ask questions as they think they should already know everything, so having an app that covers the basics is a very useful thing.

This app covers all the basics wudu, ghusl, prayer, funeral funeral (something that can be performed so occasionaly that you need to brush up every time before any funeral you attend), eid prayers and salaatul tasbih.

Thankyou

A word is simply not enough,

To express the gratitude I merely hold,

It may seem absurd but this fact must be preferred,

Cause you were always there to help me up.

Truly you deserve nothing but respect,

Never did you fail to neglect nor reject,

You steered me to consider and for that,

You are present-perfect.

Of your guidance I am glad,

Your words taught me to reflect,

Your actions took effect,

Never again, will I show disrespect.

A word is simply not enough,

To express the gratitude I merely hold,

It may seem absurd, but this fact must be preferred,

For your determination, patience and inspiration,

I think of nothing but a virtuous word...

YOUR favorite Hadith

I know there's like hundreds, and thousands, and millions, and billions, and gazillions (if that's a real number), but which if your favorite one?

 

I came across one that I really liked earlier today:

The Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) reported that the devil said to God: “I shall continue to lead Thy servants astray as long as their spirits are in their bodies.”
And God replied: “(Then) I shall continue to pardon them as long as they ask for My forgiveness.”
[Al-Tirmidhi, Hadith 742]

Believe in yourself.

Sa’d ibn Abi Waqqas (ra) said: I said: “O Messenger of Allah, which of the people are most sorely tested?” He said: “The Prophets, then the next best and the next best. A man will be tested in accordance with his level of religious commitment. If his religious commitment is strong, he will be tested more severely, and if his religious commitment is weak, he will be tested in accordance with his religious commitment. Calamity will keep befalling a person until he walks on the earth with no sin on him.” Reported in At-Tirmidhi.
