Ramadan Dua: DAY 1

Ramadan Dua: DAY 1  
 
ALLAH, on this day make my fasts the fasts of those who fast (sincerely), and my standing up in prayer of those who stand up in prayer (obediently), awaken me in it from the sleep of the heedless, and for give me my sins , O God of the worlds, and forgive me, O one who forgives the sinners.

Funerals According to Quran and Sunnah

Wathilah bin Al-Asqa (RadiAllahu anhu) said:

Allah's Messenger (SalAllahu alaihi wasallam) said, "Do not express pleasure at the misfortune of a (Muslim) brother lest Allah should bestow mercy upon him and make you suffer from a misfortune."

At-Tirmidhi
As Taken from Riyad-us-Saliheen

Assalam alaikum wa rahmatullahi wa barakatuhu all my friends

Very often at funerals a number of wrong things are done. At that particular point in time it is difficult for people to point them out, for it shows insensitivity. There is a time and a place for everything, and it applies here too.

We need to be aware of what are actually recommended practices to be followed on such occasions. The article below gives many details, right from the time a person dies till he is buried, and we would do well to take cognizance of all that is permissible, as well as familiarizing ourselves with the limitations, for whatever we do should follow the path shown to us by Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him).

Please share this article with all possible, for it is necessary that Muslims be aware of the procedures and conduct themselves in a right manner.

Wassalam. Adam.

Christianity: The New Testament

Anas bin Malik (May Allah be pleased with him) reported: Messenger of Allah (PBUH) delivered a Khutbah to us the like of which I had never heard from him before. In the course of the Khutbah, he said: "If you knew what I know, you would laugh little and weep much". Thereupon those present covered their faces and began to sob.[Al-Bukhari and Muslim].
Commentary:
This Hadith has been mentioned in this chapter for the reason that it furnishes positive proof of the fact that the Companions of the Prophet (PBUH) used to weep out of fear of Allah when they heard sermons and preachings. It induces us to follow them.
