A Summary of The Virtues of 2 Rakaahs A hidden deed is 70 times greater than a deed performed openly (Daylamee). Offer Salaah frequently in your dwellings so that the good in them may be multiplied (Baihaqi). The Virtues of 2 Rakaah in Summary * More valuable to the deceased than the whole world. * Great purifier of sins. * Supplications favourably responded to thereafter. * No better reward can be received from Allah SWT. * Greatest favour Allah SWT can give to a servant. * If offered in secret then freedom from Hell is announced. * No greater way to the priceless intimacy with Allah SWT than to offer in secret.

The best of you are those who have the softest shoulders in Prayer (Abu Dawood). Amongst all 5 prayers, Jumma is the most superior, followed by Fajr on the day of Jumma, then Asr, Fajr, Eisha, Magrib & Zohar (Hafiz Munaweeh rah). No Salah is greater than the Fajr Salah offered with Congregation on Friday, I presume that whoever attends it will be forgiven (Tabarani). Mohammed ibn Serreen (rah), 2 Rakahs of Salaah is more beloved to me than Paradise, for Paradise is for my pleasure but the Salaah is for the pleasure of Allah SWT (Imaam Ghazali rah Mukaashafatul Quloob). The greatest favour for a bondsman in the world is for him to be given the ability to offer 2 Rakaah of Salaah (Tabarani). For the dwellers of the grave, 2 Rakaahs of Salaah are dearer to them than the rest of your world (Tabarani). Whoever prays 2 Rakaahs whilst alone and nobody sees him except Allah SWT and His Angels then freedom from the fire is written for him (Ibn Asaakir). A worshipper does not attain nearness to Allah SWT with an

Rows & Masjids  The Pigeon of The Masjid - Abdullah ibn Zubair (ra). Abdullah ibn Zubair (ra) would prostrate for such long periods until sparrows would alight on his back (Sifatus Safwah). When ibn Umar (ra) would miss the congregational prayer he would continue offering Salah until the next salaah - due to his grief (Baihaqi). Seize the opportunity with a supplication after the Congregational prayer. When a bondsman offers Salah in Congregation and then asks Allah SWT for his need, then Allah SWT has Hayaa that the bondsman return before the fulfilment of his need (Abu Nu'aym). The virtues of Filling the gaps in the Rows of Salaah * Sins are forgiven (Bazzar). * Elevated Rank (Tabarani). * A priceless dwelling gifted to him in Paradise (Tabarani). * Allah SWT & His Angels send blessings upon him (Haakim).

Whoever offers the Fajr Salaah then attends with the flag of Islaam (Ibn Majah). Whoever offers the Fajr Salaah is under Allah SWT Covenant of Protection until the evening (Tabrani). During his illness, Abu Abdur Rahman Sulamee (rah) would command his companions to carry him to the Masjid despite challenging weather conditions (Ibn Al Mubarak). The venerable Taabi'ee Suwayd ibn Ghaflah (rah) was 126 years of age but would still attend the Congregational Prayer in the Masjid (Sharh). Abdullah ibn Zubair (ra) once bent down into Rukoo for so long that I had recited the whole of Surah Al Baqara, Ali Imran, An Nisa & Al Maa'idah before he finally raised (Al Bidaayah).

Masjids - Magnets of Divine Mercy Verily there is The Shade of The Throne for a man whose heart is ardently attached to the Majids (Ibn Abee Shaibah). Allah SWT has pledged to shower His Mercy upon the person who spends most of his time in the Masjid and you are allowed to cross The Bridge of Siraat with ease (Baihaqi). The Angels debate about things which Elevate in Rank and atone for your sins... The rewards for the steps The virtues of doing ablution when its cold The virtues of sitting in the Masjid after praying to wait for the next (Tabarani).

Masjids - Magnets of Divine Mercy Any piece of ground on which Allah SWT is remembered in Salaah then takes pride over the rest of the earth (Tabrani). These 4 are given immense honour of passing through the Plains of Resurrection... * Those who regularly attend the Masjids * The Muazzins * The Imaams * Those who contruct them. Rewards of Salah in Congregation... Fajr till Sunrise - 70 ranks in Firdaws Zuhur - 50 ranks in the Garden of Eden Asr - Freeing 8 slaves from the offspring of Ismaa'eel (as) Magrib -  reward of Hajj Mabroor Eisha - reward of the night prayer in Lalatul Qadr (Baihaqi) Whoever offers Eisha Salah with the congregation in the Masjid for 40 nights without missing the opening rakat if granted freedom from the Fire (Ibn Majah).

You are not a scholar until you act (Darimee). Verily if a scholar does not act then his admonishments will slip from the hearts as raindrops slip off rocks (Ahmad). Ask the people of Zikir if you know not, Surah 21 v7. For what use is Knowledge without Worship. Give us good in this world - knowledge & worship And good in the hereafter - Paradise (Hassan Al Basri rah, explaining Surah 2 v201).

On the last day, the person with the most regret will be the one who had the opportunity to acquire islamic knowledge but did not do so (Tabarani). Allah SWT will brighten the graves of those who learn and teach virtues so that they have no fear (Abu Nu'aym). Verily Allah SWT and His Angels (as), the inhabitants of the heavens and earth- even the ant in its hole and the whale in the sea send Salaah upon the person who teaches the people beneficial knowledge (Tirmidhi) Graze in the Gardens of Paradise by sitting in the Gatherings of Knowledge (Tabarani).

There is goodness in ALL of my Companions (Ibn Assakir). Jibreel (as), The Angel of Death & The Messenger ﷺ. The Messenger ﷺ most pure in life & in death (Ibn Majah).

The Banner of Praise will be in my hand on the Last Day (Tirmidhi). The first to enter Paradise are those who praise Allah SWT in every situation, a banner is held for him and they are let in Paradise (Abu Nu'aym). The 360 idols around the Kaba whose feet were nailed to the ground with lead fell, when The Messenger ﷺ pointed to them whilst reciting Surah 17 v81 (Tabarani). The Curse of Allah SWT is upon the one who speaks ill of my Companions on The Last Day, Indeed I will protect the one who guards their honour (Ibn Asaakir). When Allah SWT wills goodness for anyone then He SWT creates an affection for all my Companions in his heart (Abu Nu'aym).

The degree of Love is superior to that of intimate friendship. 'Death at One's Nose.' The Messenger ﷺ had 360 vision. I ﷺ saw My Lord SWT The Almighty and Glorious in the most beautiful form.... He SWT then placed the palm of His Hand between my shoulder blades and I ﷺ felt the coolness, I thereupon knew what was in the heavens & earth, Surah 6 v.75. When I ﷺ descended to the lowest heaven of this world, I ﷺ looked beneath  me and I ﷺ saw dust, smoke & noise.. Jibreeel (as) said, 'These are the devils who distract the children of Adam so that they do not contemplate in the hidden kingdom of the heavens of earth, were it not for the distraction they would have seen wonders (Ahmad). Allah SWT educated me ﷺ and He SWT educated me ﷺ with excellence, I grew up in the House of Sa'ad (Abo Na'im). The words of Ismaa'eel (as) were forgotten but Jibreel (as) retrieved them and taught me ﷺ (Abu Nuaym). I ﷺ was sent with words which are concise but comprehensive in meaning (Muslim).

Moosa (as) fell down on The Day of Arafaat and he (as) was given the Torah on Friday, The day of Sacrifice (Qurtubi). We appointed for Moosa (as) 30 nights [Dhull Qadah] and completed 10 more [10 days of Dhull Hijja], Surah 7 v142, (Ibn Kathir). Whoever dedicated himself wholly to Allah SWT for 40 mornings then the springs of wisdom appear from his heart upon his tongue (Ahmad). Allah SWT conversed with Moosa (as) with 140,000 words in just 3 days, as a result, hearing human speech thereafter was disliked by Moosa (as) (Tabarani). Moosa (as) asked the Angel of Death, how will you take my soul? From my mouth - which i spoke with Allah SWT From my ear - which I heard The Words Hand- which I clasped the Tablets Foot- which I stood before Allah SWT ? Eye - when my face shone by His Light ? (Qurtubi).

Quran Class Surah 24 v43-46 Session 23 Cosmic Rain And He sends down from The Sky of Mountains of hail- Baradain... Surah 24 v 43. The objects, 20-40-ton snowballs the size of two-bedroom houses, streak into the atmosphere by the thousands each day, disintegrate harmlessly 600 to 15,000 miles up and deposit large clouds of water vapor that eventually falls on Earth's surface as rain, according to Louis A.

'O Allah SWT I seek refuge in You from the evil of those who crawl on their bellies, the evil of those who walk on 2 feet and the evil of those who walk on 4 feet', Refer to Surah 24 v45 & Surah 113 v3. Seek refuge of the Ghisk - when the moon appears and darkness spreads as the Shaytan disperse.

Quran class Session 22 Surah 24 v40-42 The hypocrites play games so Allah SWT plays games with them, near The Bridge of Siraat. The Birds and their worship. Salah is only for mankind and each have their own style of worship. The Mystery of The Earth belongs to Allah SWT, Surah 16 v77.

Slippery questions How can we believe in you while you neither see Allah SWT nor do you speak with Him SWT face to face... as Moosa (as) used to see and converse with Allah SWT? Verses are revealed, And none can see Allah SWT excpt behind a veil... Surah 42 v51 (Quortobi). Blessed is he who is in the fire and all who are around it! Glorified be Allah SWT Lord of The Alamin, Surah 27 v8. It was The light of The Lord of The Alamin; All Around it refers to the Angels, Abudullah ibn Abbas (ra) Ibn Kathir).

The Sacrifice and a 7 year old Ismaeel (as). Prophet Ibrahim (as) fulfills his vision, Surah 37 v105. A white ram which grazed in Paradise was brought near Ibrahim (as). And we then gave him the good news of Ishaaq (as) a Prophet and one of the pious, Surah 37 v111. And who turns away from the path of Ibrahim (as) except those as debase their own souls, Surah 2 v130. For every Prophet, there is a Walee (intimate friend) from the other Prophets (as). Indeed my Walee is The Khaleel [Ibrahim (as)] (Tirmidhi).

Prophet Adam & Ibrahim (as) The first Prophet sent as a Messenger was Nuh (as) (IbnAsaakir). When Adam (as) passed away all of the creation wept over him for 7 days (Ibn Assakar). The most honoured of the prophets was Adam (as) for he was chosen to be the father of humanity (Tabarani). Prophet Ibrahim (as) was shown a dream thrice [that his son was to be sacrificed] (Quortobi Surah 37 v102).

The Infallable Prophets Shaitan said,  By Your Honour, O my Lord SWT! I will never stop enticing Your servants as long as their souls remain in their bodies! By My Honour & Majesty! I SWT will continue to forgive them as they seek My forgiveness [this is our refuge] (Haakim). Prophet Yusuf (AS) was one of our chosen servants purified (Shaitan had no access), Surah 12 v24. Send Salaah only upon The Prophets & Messengers ﷺ
