Best Dua for Children and Spouse

And those who pray, "Our Lord! Grant unto us wives and offspring who will be the comfort of our eyes, and give us (the grace) to lead the righteous." Those are the ones who will be rewarded with the highest place in heaven, because of their patient constancy: therein shall they be met with salutations and peace, Dwelling therein;- how beautiful an abode and place of rest!

[Surat Al-Furqan(25) - Ayahs 74-76]

Perpetual Charity

From Aboo Hurairah (radiyallaahi 'anhu), who said: Allaah's Messenger (salallaahu 'alayhi wa sallam), said:

"Among the deeds and virtues whose reward will reach the Believer after his death are: (1) knowledge that he taught and disseminated; (2) a righteous son whom he left behind; (3) a written copy of the Qur`aan which he left as a legacy; (4) or a mosque that he built; (5) or a house that he built for the passing traveller; (6) or a canal which he dug and caused to flow; (7) or charity which he gave from his property whilst he was alive and well, for which he will continue to receive reward after his death."

[Reported by Ibn Maajah (no.242), Ibn Khuzaymah (4/121/2490), and al-Bayhaqee in Shu`abul-Eemaan (3/274/3448). Declared 'hasan' by Shaikh al-Albaanee in Saheehut- Targheeb wat-Tarheeb (no.77).]

Falling Away

Coming upon a tree with withered leaves, the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) struck it with his staff, and the leaves were scattered. He then said: (Saying) 'Praise be to God; Glory be to God; There is no god but God; and God is most great,' causes a person's sins to fall away just as the leaves of that tree were falling."

[Al-Tirmidhi, Hadith 737]

Six Rights of Every Muslim

Abu Hurayrah (radhiyallaahu 'anhu) narrated that the Messenger of Allaah (sallallaahu 'alayhi wa sallam) said, 

"The rights of the Muslim upon the Muslim are six." It was said, "And what are they Oh Messenger of Allaah?" He replied, "(1)When you meet him, give him the greeting of peace, (2)When he invites you, respond to his invitation, (3)When he seeks your advice, advise him, (4)When he sneezes and praises Allaah, supplicate for mercy upon him, (5)When he becomes ills, visit him, and (6)When he dies follow him (i.e. his funeral)."

[Muslim]

Praying Fajr and Isha Prayers

Abu Hurayra reported that the Messenger of Allah, (may Allah bless him and grant him peace) said, 

"And if they only knew what was in the prayers of 'Isha' and Subh [Fajr], they would come to them even if they had to crawl."

[Al-Bukhari & Muslim]

`Uthman bin `Affan (May Allah be pleased with him) reported: I heard the Messenger of Allah (may Allah bless him and grant him peace) saying, 

"One who performs `Isha' prayer in congregation, is as if he has performed Salat for half of the night. And one who performs the Fajr prayer in congregation, is as if he has performed Salat the whole night.''

[Muslim]

Abu Hurairah (May Allah be pleased with him) reported: The Messenger of Allah (may Allah bless him and grant him peace) said, 

"No Salat is more burdensome to the hypocrites than the Fajr (dawn) prayer and the `Isha' (night) prayer; and if they knew their merits, they would come to them even if they had to crawl to do so.''

[Al-Bukhari & Muslim]

Your True Friend

On the authority of An-Nu'maan Ibn Basheer (may Allaah be pleased with him), the Messenger of Allaah (sallallaahu alayhi wa sallam) said:

"There is no male or female slave (of Allaah) except that he/she has for him/herself three friends. A friend that says: I am with you, take what you want and leave what you want. That is his/her wealth. A friend that says: I am with you, when you arrive to the door of the King I will leave you. That is his/her servant(s) and family. A friend that says: I am with you whenever you enter and whenever you leave. That is his/her actions."
