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."

Three White Days for the month of Thul-Qa'dah

Assalaamu Alaykum Wa Rahmatullahi Wa Barakatuhu,

Just a Reminder, InshaAllah the three white days (13, 14, and 15) for the month of Thul-Qa'dah 1432 will be TOMORROW Tuesday, October 11th - Thursday, October 13th. Try and fast them if you can. 

Jareer ibn ‘Abdullaah (rAa) narrated that the Prophet (PBUH) said: “Fasting three days of each month is fasting for a lifetime, and ayaam al-beed are the thirteenth, fourteenth and fifteenth." [Al-Nasaa'i; classed as saheeh by al-Albaani in Saheel al-Targheeb]

Qatada ibn Milhan said, "The Messenger of Allah (PBUH) used to command us to fast the white days: the thirteenth, fourteenth and fifteenth." [Abu Dawud]

Ibn 'Abbas said, "The Messenger of Allah (PBUH) did not fail to fast the white days either when at home or on a journey." [an-Nasa'i]

*****There is a yahoo group titled 'ThreeWhiteDays' that will send email reminders of when these days will be observed for each month.

Allah's straight path

'Abdullaah ibn Mas'ood radiallaahu 'anhu said: 

The Prophet sallallaahu 'alayhi wa sallam drew a line for us and said. "This is Allaah's Straight Path." Then he drew lines to its right and left and then said. "These ore other paths. Upon every one of them there is a devil calling towards it." Then he recited: "Indeed this is My Straight Path, so follow it, and do not follow other paths that will separate you from His Path." [Soorah al-An'aam 6:153]
