Lailatul Jaiza

The Night Preceding 'Eid-ul-Fitr' It had been the practice of the Prophet Muhammad, Sall-Allahu alayhi wa sallam, that he would pray during the night preceding the day of Eid-ul-fitr. This night has been named in a Hadith as the Night of Reward (Lailatul Jaiza). Almighty bestows his rewards on those who have spent the month of Ramadan abiding by the dictates of Shari'ah, and all their prayers in this night are accepted. Therefore, it is desirable to perform nafl prayers during this night. The Prophet, Sall-Allahu alayhi wa sallam, is reported to have said: Whoever stands up (in worship) in the nights preceding the two Eids expecting rewards from his Lord, his heart will not die when the other hearts will die. (Hadith-Ibn Majah) (His heart will not die during the time of evil and corruption. It could also mean that with the blowing of the trumpet his soul will not become unconscious.) SUNNATS OF EID:      Wake up early.      Take a Ghusl (bath) be...

God will always send us what we need

A woman was at work when she received a phone call that her daughter was very sick with a fever. She left her work and stopped by the pharmacy to get some medication for her daughter. Upon returning to her car she found that she had locked her keys in the car. She was in a hurry to get home to her sick daughter. She didn't know what to do, so she called her home and told the baby sitter what had happened and that she did not know what to do. The baby sitter told her that her daughter was getting worse. She said, "You might find a coat hanger and use that to open the door." The woman looked around and found an old rusty coat hanger that had been thrown down on the ground, possibly by someone else who at some time or other had locked their keys in their car. Then she looked at the hanger and said, "I don't know how to use this." So she bowed her head and asked God to send her some help. Within five minutes an old rusty car p...

A false tradition

It is stated in Minhaj al Sadiqin that prophet Dawud had nineteen sons, and every one of them wanted to inherit his father's kingdom. Allah sent Dawud nine questions with answers and asked him to appoint the son who gives the correct answers as his successor. QUESTIONS and ANSWERS: 1. Which is the nearest thing? Hereafter. 2. Which is the farthest thing? Time passed away 2. What phenomenon manifests love? Body with soul. 4. What phenomenon manifests dread? Body without soul. 5. Which things remain the same? Sky and earth. 6. Which things ever remain different? Day and night. 7. Which things are opposed to each other. Life and death. 8. What ends in - goodness? Patience and forbearance at the time of anger. 9. What ends in evil? Haste at the time of anger None save Sulayman, the youngest son, gave the correct answers, so he was made the heir of Dawud. Aqa Mahdi Puya says: The law of inheritance stated in this verse is the law of the Lord, and no one can ever make cha...
