Virtues of The Glorious Zhikir of Allah SWT The familiar voice of those who perform Zikir in times of ease ((ibn Abee Shaibah). The most virtuous servant on The Last Day will be the one who praised Allah SWT in abundance (Tabarani). Zhikir saves one from punishment (Tabarani). Praise is the basis of Gratitude (Haakim). Allah SWT loves to be praised as this gratitude is on your behalf (Tabarani). To praise Allah SWT for a bounty is then a means of protection of that bounty (Daylamee).

The Transcendent Quran. Whoever will teach his child how to read the Quran then Allah SWT will forgive all his past and future sins... And will be crowned on The Last Day with a crown of Paradise... (Tabarani). Whoever recites 10 verses at night from the Quran will then not be written amongst the heedless; 100 verses then will be written amongst the resolute (Haakim). Whoever recites 100 verses from the Quran will be exempt from the demands of the Quran 200 verses, receive the reward of having spent the whole night in worship. 500-1k verses, receive 1 QinThaar - equal to 12k Deenars (Darimee). Whoever recites the Quran with difficulty but strives to recite it in the best way possible will then have a double reward (Bukhari). 'Tilka' Surah 12 v2, means this/these and is used to denote something that is far away... The Quran is not far away but it's majestic and noble therefore transcendent in status. And hold fast to the Rope of Allah SWT... Surah 3 v103.

The Quran is like a nation secured in their forts... (Bazzar). Haa Meem serves as a fortress against the enemy (Maariful Quran). The Quran is a Banquet of Allah SWT thus take as much as you can (Haakim). When tribulations emerge.. the way out is to return to The Book of Allah SWT (Razeen). The company of The Quran rectifies (Abu Nu'aym). Whoever listens to one Verse of the Quran it will be a Light for him on The Last Day (Abdur Razzaq). When the Quran is recited, listen to it with silence and attention that you may then receive Mercy, Surah 7 v204.

The Quran, Full of Treasures A man suffering problems with his own heart is given a new lease of life by reciitng 11 times Surah 13 v28, Indeed in the remembrance of Allah SWT do hearts find rest. Thus whoever needs it may also recite it. Recite Surah 30 v17-19 in the morning and all the shortcomings in your acts will be repaired... recite in the evening and those acts will be repaired (Abo Dawood). Prophet Ibrahim (as) is given the title of Waf'Faa [the one who fulfilled] for he recited the following every morning/evening, Surah 30 v17-18 (Ahmad). There is no verse more severe upon the rebellious Shaytan than Surah 2 v163, And your God in One God- there is no God but He The Supreme Merciful, Most Kind.

When  'بِسْمِ ٱللَّٰهِ ٱلرَّحْمَٰنِ ٱلرَّحِيمِ was revealed the clouds rushed towards the east, the winds became still, the ocean turned turbulent, the quadruped listened attentively. The devils were stoned from the skies and Allah SWT said, I SWT swear by My Honour and Majesty! I SWT will Bless the thing with which  'بِسْمِ ٱللَّٰهِ ٱلرَّحْمَٰنِ ٱلرَّحِيمِ  is recited ( Ad DUr Al Manthoor). Every important matter that does not begin in The Name of Allah SWT is Abtar - cut off (Baihaqi). There is nothing that outweighs  'بِسْمِ ٱللَّٰهِ ٱلرَّحْمَٰنِ ٱلرَّحِيمِ (Tirmidhi). The splitting of the rock whilst The Messenger recited Surah 6 v115... And The Word of your Lord will be fulfilled in Truth and Justice, nothing can alter His Words. And He SWT is The Hearer, The Knower. This verse is a tested prescription for the resolution of something difficult (Maariful Quran) Anyone who recites 70 times regularly every morning would then be preserved from shortage of sustenance - experience has shown this to be effe

The Holy Lands, Al Medina A person who says Yathrib should repent and seek forgiveness (Ahmad). Whoever says Yathrib once should then say Madeenah 10 times (Bukhari). Yathrib derives from Tharb which means death and violence. By The One who Holds my Soul in His Hand! Verily, the soil of Al Medeenah cures  every disease (Razeen).

The Holy Lands A Prelude to The Divine meeting on The Last Day Makkah ... Makk means to ruin or destroy Thus Makkah destroys sins or ruins the sinner within. A thief intends to steal from The Kaba. We heard that Isaaf and Naailah committed fornication in the Haram and were thus turned into stones (Ibn Ishaaq). The Black stone is Allah SWT's right hand on earth. Whoever touches or kisses it then as though he shakes hands with Allah SWT and kisses His Hand (Ud'Datus Saabireen). Minaa is like a womb which is narrow but Allah SWT causes it to expand just like when a woman falls pregnant (Tabarani). The Angels (as) shake hands with the pilgrims who perform Hajj on conveyances but embrace those who perform it on foot (Baihaq).

Amongst the causes of forgiveness is to feed a hungry Muslim (Haakim). When a person gives a Believer something to eat or drink then Allah SWT will admit him into Paradise through a gate reserved only for people like him (Tabarani). The best of you are those who give food (Ahmad). The man who hated Alee (ra), Hasan ibn Alee (ra) & Surah 6 v124. Whoever donates old clothes will be clothed with silk on The Last Day.. and whoever donates new clothes will wear the finest brocade on the Last Day (Ibn Abee Shaibah). Everyone will enjoy the shade of his Sadaqah until the work of the Judgment is complete (Ahmad). Sadaqa quenches the heat of the grave for those who give (Tabarani). Ibn Umar (ra) uses 2 tents whilst performing the pilgrimage, one within the Haram the other outside the Haram (Qurtobi). Good deeds boast of their excellence and that Sadaqa will say... I was the best of you (Haakim).

Moosa (ra) had laid a curse upon Samiree so that if anyone touched him then both the parties would contract fever (Mariful Quran), Surah 20 v97. The scholars believe that charity protects even a wrongdoing person (Baihqi) [as Samirree was spared execution since he was very generous and helped those in distress] (Roohul Mannee). 4 things destroy the heart Debating with fools, excessive sinning, excessive mixing with women and to sit with the dead ( a rich man has pride due to his wealth) (Ad Durr Al Manthoor). The ignorant generous is more beloved to Allah SWT than a worshipping miser (Tirmidhi).

The Holy Month of Ramadan and the Glorious Deed of Fasting. And for this [Paradise] let those strive, who wish to strive Surah 83 v26. Whoever Fasts the entire Month of Ramadhan with Belief and expecting reward - then all his past & future sins will be forgiven (Nasaa'ee). The Fast of Ramadhan and Fasting 3 days every month will remove the impurity and whisperings from the heart (Ahmad). Fasting has no equal (Nasaa'ee). Sadaqa & The Holy Lands Lawful wealth spent in a lawful manner washes away sins just as water washes away dirt from a rock covered in dust (Ahmad).

The Holy Month of Ramadan and the Glorious Deed of Fasting. Fasting is a protection from the punishment of Allah SWT (Baihaqi). Whoever dies whilst Fasting enters Paradise (Abu Ya'laa). Allah SWT Commands the Angels (as) who hold the Throne to leave their worship and to say "Ameen' to the supplications of those who are Fasting during Ramadhan (Baihaqi). The supplication of the Fasting person will not remain unanswered (Baihaqi). Making Wudoo before and after meals removes deprivation and is from the Sunnah of The Messengers (as) (Tabarani). The wudu here refers to the washing of hands and rinsing of the mouth. I SWT intend to punish those on earth but I SWT turn the punishment away from them because of those who attend the Masjids, those who leave each other for my sake and those who seek forgiveness at the time of Sehree (Baihaqi).

Moharrum, Ashura & its Virtues. The Eisha & Fajr prayers are difficult for the hypocrites... (Muslim). 3 things that people would fight for... Going to the Masjid for the Zuhr Salaah in the scorching heat, calling out the Adhaan, to be in the 1st row of worshipers. Prayer in congregation is equal to 25 times prayers offered alone (Abu Dawood). Guard 3 things then you truly are The friend (Allah SWT will become your Guarantor and protector) of The Messenger ﷺ. 5 Obligatory prayers, The Fasts in Ramadhan and The Ghusl (Baihaqi). The Holy Month of Ramadan and the Glorious Deed of Fasting 'And the fish in the sea seek forgiveness for them until the time of Iftar' (Ahmad).

Fear Allah SWT in the matter of Salaah! (Baihaqi). If it was not for those who offer Salaah, Milk feeding infants and grazing animals- then the punishment would have come upon you severly thus correcting you by force (Tabarani). The 7 qualities mentioned in Surah Al Muminoon as to those who attain Falaah - Success, who will inherit The Gardens of Eden (Maariful Quran).

When a worshipper utters Takbeer, then its light covers everything from the earth to the sky (Taareekh Baghdaad). Jibreel (as) ordered The Messengerﷺ to recite Takbeer (Tabarani). During Salaah it's as if the worshipper is knocking on the Kings SWT door... the door eventually opens (Daylamee) When a person stands in Salaah then the Gates of Paradise are thrown open and all the veils between him & Allah SWT are lifted (Tabarani). Salaah is akin to a pair of scales. Whoever thus gives full measure will then receive in full (Baihaqi). Salaah was the first injunction ordained by Allah SWT and shall thus also be the first to be reckoned for on The Last Day (Abu Nu'aym).

Salaah - A light & a Hallmark The sign of The Last Day is that you will see people wasting Salaah (Kanzul Umaal). It's a sign of the nearness of The Last day that 50 people will offer Salaah but their Salaah will not be accepted (Jaami As Sagheer). Allah SWT blesses the people who guard their Salaah just as Allah SWT Blessed Ibraheem (as) and his family (Ad-Durr Al Manthoor). Salaah is the light of a Believer (Ibn Majah). Salaah is a hallmark of Islam (Daylamee). Salaah is the key to ALL Goodness (Haakim).

A person who is particular to Salaah then really establishes his Deen... Whilst the person who neglects it is in reality demolishing his Deen (Baihaqi). Umar (ra) offered his Salaah even though his wounds were dripping with blood (Tabarani). The one who abandons a Salaah deliberately and intentionally then becomes an unbeliever (Tabarani). Shaytan's blasphemy was not prostrating to Adam (as), Thus what then of the one who refuses to prostrate to Almighty Allah SWT (Jaami Al Uloom Al Hikam).

Be sincere in all your deeds for sincerity will magnify the value of an action however insignificant it may be (Haakim). ... It is your Taqwaa that reaches Him SWT Surah 22 v37. Whoever guards his Salaah it will then be a light and a proof on the Last Day... (Ahmad). You will be gathered like for like... Qaaroon was distracted by wealth Pharaoh was distracted by his Kingdom High Post Authority Haamaan was distracted by his work Trade Wealth- Ubaay ibn Khalaff  Ubaay ibn Khalaff's foolish threat to The Messenger ﷺ.

Quran Class Session 24 Surah 24 v47-52. Bashir disputes with a man from the bani Israel and Umar (ra) judges between them. Umar (ra) and the Roman Villager [who had knowledge of the previous scriptures] heard a muslim prisoner recite Surah 24 v52... 'Whoever obeys Allah SWT [Obligations that we have] and His Messenger [Sunnah] and has awe of Him [ alludes towards past life] and observes Taqwa of Him [for the remaining life]  then such people are the victorious.' 'Allah SWT has graced me with such comprehensive expressions in which words are few but the meaning vast' (Qurtubi).

You only get the reward of what you could comprehend of your Salaah (Majmoo Fataawah). Umar (ra) once saw a man fiddling with his hand during Salaah, "If his heart was submissive then so would his limbs" (Majmoo Fataawah). Yaa Rab-bigh-firlee stated thrice in prostration, He will then be forgiven before he even lifts his head (Ibn Abee Shaibah). If a person remembers death in his Salaah he will then be likely to offer it well, thus pray as if its your last Prayer (Daylamee). Summary on how to protect your Salaah Sort any worldly affair before praying Eat little before Salaah Offer the movements in Salaah calmly with grace and serenity Do not unnecessarily cough or blow your nose Do not wipes one's forehead in Salaah Comprehend upon one's speech in Salaah Remember one's death in Salaah Offer each Salaah as if it's your last. A shaitan appears in the form of a black snake to distract Taabi'ee Aamir ibn Abdullah ibn Abd Qays (rah) Salah (Abu Nu'aym).

Guarding the Priceless Deed of Salaah When the Salaah is prayed with humility and submission, standing bowing and prostrating correctly, this Salaah rises up in a bright and beautiful form supplicating for the person "May Allah SWT guard you as you guarded me." If a person is not punctual with his Salaah and performs the standing bowing and prostration incorrectly the Salah rises up ugly and dark and curses "May Allah SWT destroy you as you destroyed me." (Baihaqi). Keep your backs [leaves all disputes behind] and stomachs [ eat so as to avoid lethargy] light for salaah (Abu Nu'aym). The worst of thieves is the one who steals from his Salaah he does not perfect the bowing, prostration and Khushoo (Ahmad).
