Islamic Habits of Excellence–Avoid being Quarrelsome

Avoid being Quarrelsome

One of the lessons we learn from this hadith is to avoid conflicts and being quarrelsome even in situations where we may be right. Again, while we should point out the truth but we should not become quarrelsome and should avoid all attitudes and attributes of being one of such people. We especially tend to get into such situations with people to whom we are closer because there are fewer barriers between us and them but then that exposure also risks deterioration of relationships by getting into quarrelsome situations frequently…Let’s heed to the prophet’s call and restrain ourselves instead.

Avoiding Conflicts in Islam

Most Hated Person to Allah

(A) Narrated ‘Âishah ?: The Prophet said, “The most hated person to Allâh is the one who is most quarrelsome of the opponents.” (Sahih Al-Bukhâri, Vol.3, Hadîth No.637).

Avoiding Arguments and Disputes – A religious message

• (B) Narrated Abu Umamah Allâh’s Messenger said: “(a) I guarantee a home in Paradise for a person who gives up arguments and disputes even if he is on the truth. (b) And [I (also) guarantee] a home in the middle of Paradise for a person who gives up lying (false statements) even while joking. (c) And [I (also) guarantee] a home in the highest part of Paradise for a person who has a high standard of character.” (This Hadith is quoted by Abu Dâwûd, At-Tirmidhi, Nasâ’i and Ibn Majah).

*بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الرَّحْمَنِ الرَّحِيمِ*
ALLAAH (SUBHANAHU WA TA'ALA) has sent down the best statement, a Book (this Qur'aan), its parts resembling each other in goodness and truth, oft-repeated. The skins of those who fear their LORD shiver from it (when they recite it or hear it). Then their skin and their heart soften to the remembrance of ALLAAH (SUBHANAHU WA TA'ALA). That is the guidance of ALLAAH (SUBHANAHU WA TA'ALA) by which HE Guides whom HE wills, and whomever ALLAAH (SUBHANAHU WA TA'ALA) sends astray, for him there is no guide.

*[Surah Az-Zumar 39, Verse 23]*

Summary Of Quran-Juz4

JUZ FOUR:
SURAHS/AYAAT:
3. Aal-e-Imran (92-end)
4. Al-Nisa (1-23)

SUMMARY:
Having appealed to the Christians in the preceding part of Aal-e-‘Imran and the Jews in the previous chapter, ALLAAH (SUBHANAHU WA TA'ALA) now directs HIS verses to the Muslim community. This begins with a call for the Muslim community to remain united, holding fast to the rope of ALLAAH (SUBHANAHU WA TA'ALA). It then addresses the battles of Badr and ‘Uhud, detailing the reasons why Badr was a victory against all odds and ‘Uhud the opposite. ALLAAH (SUBHANAHU WA TA'ALA) concludes by reminding us that HIS Promise is certain and that we must remain patient and have Taqwa (ALLAAH Consciousness). In this Juz also begins the chapter al-Nisa (Women), named after the numerous references to women and injunctions related to them. This chapter is important, as being revealed after the defeat at ‘Uhud it covers some of the inevitable consequences; widows, orphans and the fair distribution of wealth.

LESSONS:
• The importance of holding fast to ALLAAH (SUBHANAHU WA TA'ALA)’S rope and the significance of unity and not splitting;

• The high status of the Muslim nation by virtue of their enjoining the good and prohibiting the evil;

• The Battle of ‘Uhud which teaches us the result of disobedience (to Nabi SALLALLAAHU ALAYHI WA SALLAM);

• The qualities of ALLAAH (SUBHANAHU WA TA'ALA)’S righteous servants. Research and consider them well and do your utmost to be one of them! Nabi SALLALLAAHU ALAYHI WA SALLAM would recite the last verses of Aal-e-‘Imran upon waking up - ponder them carefully;

• The chapter al-Nisa’ concentrates on the rights of the weak and downtrodden, the orphans, women, and those oppressed and unable to migrate.

The Virtues of Tarawih Prayers in Ramadan

Rewards of Tarawih prayer is different for each day

The importance and virtue of tarawih prayers

Tarawih is a means for forgiveness of the sins

“Allah (swt) has made Ramadan fasting obligatory. I have made the night prayer (tarawih) sunnah. He who fasts and observes night prayers believing the virtues and seeking his reward from Allah (swt), He will be saved from his sins as a newborn baby.” (Nasai)

Whoever performs Tarawih prayer a palace made of ruby will be built for him in Jannah

When it is the first night of Ramadan; the doors of skies and the Paradise are opened. And This continues until the last night (of the Ramadan).Whoever (man or woman); for every sajdah that he makes one of the nights of Ramadan, one thousand seven hundred hasanah (rewards) will be recorded. A palace made of red ruby will be built for him and each of its doors will have two wings embroidered with red ruby. (Al-Ghunyat’ut-Talibin)

During Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) and Abu Bakr (ra)’s time tarawih prayers were being performed individually and this continued until the beginning of Umar’s (ra) caliphate. Upon the order of Umar (ra), tarawih prayers have been started to be performed in congregation led by Ubay bin Ka’ab (ra). Therefore, performing Tarawih prayer in congregation is called “the sunnah of Umar (ra)” (Kutub Al-Sittah)

Tarawih prayer has a different virtue for each day

Imam al-Ghazali commands about the virtue of Tarawih prayer:

It is narrated from Ali (ra)

(Who performs Tarawih prayer)

1st night: His all sins are forgiven.

“Servants who pray tonight’s tarawh prayer is set free from jahannam. They are safe from what they fear, jahannam, and they embrace Allah’s beautiy.” Allah says: Form y grace and Glory’s sake I forgive these servants of mine. I prohibited their bodies from Fire of Jahannam.”

Virtues of Understanding Quran

JUZ TW0*

AYAAT:*

Al-Baqarah (142 - 252)

*SUMMARY:*

In this Juz, ALLAAH (SUBHANAHU WA TA'ALA) responds to the Jews of the time and the accusations they made when the direction of prayer was changed from the al-Aqsa mosque in Jerusalem to Al-Ka’bah in Makkah. Importantly ALLAAH (SUBHANAHU WA TA'ALA) concludes the issue by indicating that purification of one’s soul is more important than facing any particular direction in prayer. The Juz also covers ALLAAH (SUBHANAHU WA TA'ALA)’S wisdom over a number of matters; Inheritance; Marriage; Hajj; and most pertinently, Fasting – the only place in the Qur'aan to contain such detailed information about this great act of worship. Throughout this Juz and in between even its most detailed regulations, ALLAAH (SUBHANAHU WA TA'ALA) stresses again and again the necessity of man maintaining, at all times, Taqwa (ALLAAH Consciousness) – to remain conscious of ALLAAH (SUBHANAHU WA TA'ALA) in all his affairs.

*LESSONS:*
• The obligation of fasting, its rules and regulations and other related matters. This is the only place containing a detailed discussion about fasting, so ponder it well!

• The rules and regulations concerning Hajj, Marriage, Divorce, Suckling etc. in between which ALLAAH (SUBHANAHU WA TA'ALA) stresses the importance of Taqwa

• The story of Jalut (Goliath) and a powerful nation toppled not by sheer numbers or might but through faith, patience and constancy.

*[Juz by Juz - A summary of the Qur’aan]*

• The teachings of Islam are present in Quran, which needs to be studied very carefully for being able to understand them properly. The Holy Prophet (SAW) said:

“That person who, due to the excessive recitation of the Quran is not able to make Allah’s Dhikr and Dua, Allah (SWT) will bestow such a person with more blessings and Ni’mat than even those who make Dhikr and Dua.” (Tirmidhi)

Above hadith shows that following the holy verses to such an extent would provide better results in life.

The Holy Quran is a highly admired book of Allah SWT that requires proper understanding, which is possible when it is interpreted in one`s own language. We should read Quran with better understanding so that we can earn Allah’s blessings in this worldly life and the life hereafter too. May Allah (SWT) bless us to understand His holy book!

Try to understand Quran-Juz-1

*JUZ ONE*

*SURAHS:*

1. Al-Fatiha

2. Al-Baqarah (1 - 141)

*SUMMARY:*
The first Juz of the Qur'aan comprises its opening chapter, the seven verses of al-Fatihah (the Opener) and the first part of its longest chapter, al-Baqarah (the Heifer). It is not without reason that some of the early generations considered al-Fatihah to be the ‘Mother of the Book’. In its seven short verses, it contains praise of ALLAAH, it affirms worship must be for HIM Alone and ends by informing us about the path of guidance. It is followed by the first part of al-Baqarah, which unfolds the nature of mankind through the narrative of the story of Adam (ALAHYI SALLAM) and his expulsion from Paradise. The chapter then moves onto the story of the Children of Israel (the Jews) and teaches us important lessons from the story of the heifer (cow).

*LESSONS:*

• Worship is solely and exclusively for ALLAAH (SUBHANAHU WA TA'ALA), and one must turn to HIM Alone for help

• ALLAAH (SUBHANAHU WA TA'ALA) divides mankind into three categories: believer, disbeliever or hypocrite and describes the characteristics of the hypocrite

• The story of the heifer contains great lessons: beware of faltering when faced with ALLAAH (SUBHANAHU WA TA'ALA)’S commands and do not procrastinate or ridicule them because to do so leads to hardness of the heart

• Beware the danger of preventing ALLAAH (SUBHANAHU WA TA'ALA)’S remembrance in the Masaajids, or moving to destroy them



*[Juz by Juz - A summary of the Qur’aan]*

Will they not then ponder over the Quran, or is it that they have locks on their hearts!? [Quran, 47:24]

(This is) a Scripture that We have revealed unto thee, full of blessing, that they may ponder its revelations, and that men of understanding may reflect.[Quran, 38:29]

The Quran is a guide to humanity which also includes you, dear reader. Since none of us want to be misguided, it is paramount not only to read or recite the Quran, but to understand and implement it in our lives as well.
