Abu Hurairah (RA) reported: The Messenger of Allah (salallahu allahi wasalm) said -
 
When a man dies, his deeds come to an end, except for three:
A continuous charity,
Knowledge by which people derive benefit,
A pious child who prays for him
 
The first and third may not be possible for all of us (some dont have money to give as charity, others don't have a son) But we can ALL learn a thing or two and pass on the knowledge.

Thats pretty much it. I hate being patronized. And this is just a rant. But I'm sure my dear revival friends will find a way to make this blog slightly useful inshaaAllah. I hat ev being patronized by a younger person. And im gettibg old and theres goi ng to be younger people out there smarter than me, or islamically mre religious. So I need to change. But right nw I justget violent imageries when I think abt someone who patronized me whos younger than me.

So anyway. How shld I remedy to this? And how do I tell the person to stop patronizing me? (without slamming their head against a wall...)

"One who disbelieves after having believed, on him is wrath from Allah and a fierce torment, except someone who is coercively forced to do so and at heart remainscontented with his belief (as before)"

If someone is coerced to the extreme that he fears for for his life, then he will not lose his faith if he utters words of disbelief. As long as the disbelief doesn't go beyond utterance.

Salaams,
I thought I or someone else had posted a vid of a recitation of Surah Yusuf, but when I tried searching for it but couldn't. (instead I came across that old topic I bumped up - so no I wasn't just wasting time, looking through old topics! )

Anyway I wanted to share a part of the introduction of Surah Yusuf, which is in my Quran:

"The prophet Muhammad Peace be Upon Him said: Every religion has a distinct characteristic and the distinct characteristic of Islam is Modesty."
 
"Allah will never humiliate the one who takes his Lord as a friend and patron." Ibn Qayyim Al Jawziyyah
 
So if you feel humiliated - try harder to get closer to your Lord

Not long left now, but guess what? Its results day very soon.

(Sorry to break the news and remind you).

There's some of us, who are dying of excitement and who can't wait.
 
But there's those who are worried sick
 
And don't even want to go to collect them.
 
But with me, i just feel nothing at all.
 
I don't think i have a 'feeling' towards my results.
 
Yet, i had a nightmare about them today!
 
I don't know if i'm supposed to be thinking about them so much,
 
I tend not to though.
 
I think i have other things on my mind.

There was a Christian who embraced Islam and read Surat-al-Baqara and Al-Imran, and he used to write (the revelations) for the Prophet (SAW). Later on he returned to Christianity again and he used to say: "Muhammad (SAW) knows nothing but what I have written for him." Then Allah caused him to die, and his people buried him, but in the morning they saw that the earth had thrown his body out. They said, "This is the act of Muhammad and his companions. They dug the grave of our companion and took his body out of it because he had run away from them." They again dug the grave deeply for him, but in the morning they again saw that the earth had thrown his body out. They said, "This is an act of Muhammad and his companions.

Oh Allah! You are most forgiving & You love to forgive so forgive me!

اللهم إنك عفوٌ تحب العفو فاعف عني

"Allahumma innaka `afuwwun, tuhibbul-`afwa, fa`fu `anni "

Aaishah said: “‘O Messenger of Allaah, if I know which night is Laylat al-Qadr, what should I say on that night?

He said, ‘Say: Allaahumma innaka ‘afuwwun tuhibb al-‘afwa fa’affu ‘anni (O Allaah, You are forgiving and You love forgiveness, so forgive me).”

Mohammed "Mo" Farah has won a second Olympic gold for Team GB - first in the 10,000m race and now in the 5,000m race.

He is one of the few (seven?) that have won gold at both races at the olympics and in an event that great britain generally struggles at.
