~ THE VALUE OF BOTTLE ~

🍶 ~ THE VALUE OF BOTTLE ~ 🍶

1. If filled with mineral water, the price is 3 thousand.

2. If filled with fruit juice, the price is 10 thousand.

3. If filled with Yemen Honey, the price is Hundreds of thousand.

4. If filled with channel perfume, the price is millions.

5. If filled with sewage water, will only be disposed of in the trash because there is no value and no one will like it.

The same bottle but different prices charged for what in them is different.

So do we….

We are all the same.

We are all human.

What distinguishes us from each other is FAITH & DEEDS that is inside us.

Which would be make us valuable or we dishonourable by Allah then thrown into jahanam (hellfire) .

Life is a choice, up to us which one do we want.  Positive or Negative, Allah never force anyone. But we all will be held accountable.

Let us make ourselves the cause of good self and surroundings, to reach the Mercy of Allah.

May we be given the power by Allah to do His commands and given the strength by Allah to avoid His prohibitions, Aamiin.

Hope it’s beneficial.

MY WIFE, MY SELF AND PEARL NECKLACE WITH A RED THREAD

My Wife, Myself And The Pearl Necklace With a Red Thread

Abu Muzhaffar, a grandson of Ibn Jauzi said : Ibn Aqil Rahimahullah told ( a short story) about himself, And said :

I once set out to perform Hajj. In the blessed lands, Suddenly I found a pearl necklace strung on a red thread. Close by, I heard an old blind Sheikh announcing that he was looking for that necklace, even he would give a reward of a hundred dinars (Arab’s currency) for the person who returned it to the poor Sheikh.I returned it to him.

He requested me, “Take this dinars (the reward)”, but I refused.

I then left for Syria and visited Baitul Maqdis. Enroute to Baghdad, I stopped at the Masjid in the city, Halab (Aleppo, Syiria), where I took refuge in a Masjid due to cold and hunger. The jamaah (the people who comes to pray congregation) of the Masjid (mosque) came up to me, so I lead their prayer. Then I had a meal from them.  

It was the first of Ramadan, and they said to me :

"Our Imam has passed away and we would like you to lead us in prayer for the remainder of the month." I agreed.

After a time, they mentioned to me that their previous Imam had a daughter of marriageable age. They suggested that I marry her and I agreed. After a year, she gave birth to our son, but fell critically ill immediately thereafter (after nifas/childbirth).

One day, I looked at the necklace she was wearing-it was the very same necklace strung with a red thread I had found many years ago.

I said to her, "This necklace has a story of its own," and I related the incident between me and the Sheikh to her.

Tears filled her eyes and she asked, "You… are truly the man who found it ? I swear to God . My father would cry and make du'a' : 'O Allah, grant my daughter a husband like the man who returned this necklace to me.' Trully, Allah has accepted his du'a'." Soon thereafter, she passed away.

This beautiful and bizarre story is included in Mirâtu az-Zaman page. 8 / 52-53. I quoted from Siyar A'lâmin Nubalâ ': 14 / 332-333 (published Dârulhadïts-Cairo, 1427-H), written by Adz-Dzahabi rahimahullah (Died: 748-H).

The story of Sakaratul Maut ( Death’s door ) of a Youth who devoted to his Mother.

The story of Sakaratul Maut ( Death’s door ) of a Youth who devoted to his Mother. 

In one of his sermons,

Sheikh Muhammad Hassan told about the miracles of a young man when the last time of  “sakaratul maut” (death’s door) came to take him up. It’s familiar to anyone who knew him that he was a portrait of today's youth that love so much and devoted to his mother.

"Among the miracles that come to me in this Ramadan is the story of a young man among our young children. The figure of a young man who was very devoted to his mother lying on the bed of death in his golden age, which was not yet thirty years. In the urgency of the end of his life, when seconds of sakaratul maut take him up, the people around him were surprised when hearing the words he uttered were very amazing. Indeed, it is amazing!

"No.  I cannot. I cannot. I have to ask my mother’s permission . "
Still the young man repeated the same sentence.

Until makes them who witnessed the phenomenon rusched to call her mother, who has been standing apart, in her room, crying, because she could not see her beloved son was facing the death's door (sakaratul maut). It's because her beloved son was a role model fugure that very kind to his mother. They also preach what had been goin on what had been goind on with her son. 

"Go and have a look your son, he contantly say things weird !!"

Hearing this, the anxious mother suddenly ran towards his room. Founding her son's forehead began bringing up beads of sweat like a pearl. And these are some of the signs of Husnul Khotimah (happy in the end of dying as Muslim). May allah destine us all to die in khusnul khotimah. 

She listened herself to her son's sentences that continues to be repeatd by her lovly son, 

"No..! I cannot. I cannot. I have to ask my mother's permission first..."

Soon she approached her lovely son.. And Subhanallah, she immediately asked her beloved son, 

"O my lovely son, it's me, your mother. O my lovely son, it's me.....I am your Mum, my son. To whom are you talking to ?"

When death came nearer, at such a short time, finally this pious young man tells the most memorable events he had never felt before in his life. He then turned to his mother and said

"O my mother, a very beautiful girl, Mum. I have never seen such a beautiful girl. She is coming here. Really I see her exactly in front of me. She comes to propose herself to me, Mum. I told her, no. I cannot until I ask permission from my mother. "

Then the mother was immediately responded, "I give my permission, my son. Indeed, she is hurriyah (the women of paradise/angel) from heaven for you. I've given you my permission, son. "

What a high degree you have, young man ?

Until your wife (in heaven) come to bring the good news, while you are still there in the world?

Don’t you be surprised. And  you don’t need to be wondered, because in these condition, a mumkmin (a believer) will be shown his residence in heaven and in hell. He will see his place in the sight of Allah 'Azza wa Jalla.

In fact, he will see the angels. He actually see the angels with his own eyes. He also will hear a bisyarah (good news). 

And the All True, God Almighty said :

Allah will establish in strength those who believe with the Word that stands firm in this world and in the Hereafter; but Allah will leave to stray those who do wrong: Allah does whatever He wills."[Ibrahim: 27]

And the All-True God Almighty said:

As for those who say: "Our God is Allah," and further strand straight and steadfast, the angels will descend on them, saying: "Let nothing fear or grieve you. Rejoice for the good news of paradise that has been promised to you.

Where is the incident?

At the top of the mattress when they will die, according to one opinion. Or when they come out of the grave, as the opinion of others from the scholars’ interpretation. "Do not be the one you fear, and do not be too sad. O you, be happy for the heaven that has been promised to you. "[Fushilat: 30]

GUARDING YOUR HEART by Ummu Raihanah, Sydney

By Ummu Raihanah, Sydney

It is better for a woman not too much open her eyes and her heart on her close friend’s life or her sister’s life who lives better than her. Because it would make her became kufur nima ( ignorance, Islam or the teaching of Islam are denied) of Allah’s blessing against all the gifts that Allah has bestowed on her hand or in front of her.

To be a servant who is grateful is not easy Allah says:

وقليل من عبادى ٱلشكور

And very few of My servants are grateful. (Saba '- 34:13)

Thus, be wise to guard the view of your heart so your heart will be guarded and the gratitude and steadfastness will be maintained

TO WHOM WILL YOU MARRY YOUR DAUGHTER TO ??

TO WHOM WILL YOU MARRY YOUR DAUGHTER TO ?

If you are a father who has a beautiful girl, smart, and noble character, to whom will you marry your daughter to?

Of course you will say: I will marry my daughter with a handsome young man, educated, has a series of titles, rich, income above the average, in order to ensure her life, and their offspring.

Is there any father who is more concerned with the "future" of his daughter in the hereafter, and marrying his daughter to a young man who is at a glance just like “an ordinary person”, but  his is the one whose religion and attitude (akhlaq) you are satisfied (Ridha) with ?

Who is that kind of father?

Heis Sa'id ibn al-Musayyib Al-Makhzuumii Al-Qurasyii, which used to be called by Abu Muhammad (born 13 H = 634 M - died 94 H = 713 M).

He is the Headman of the Taabi'iin (those who seen the Companions of the Messenger of Allaah sallallaahu 'alaihi wa sallam), the leader of seven Fuqahaa ( Fiqh Expert) in Medina during that time.

How is the figure of Sa'id ibn al-Musayyib as an ideal Father in-law?

Here's the story as told by his son in law : Katsiir bin Al-Muthallib bin Abi Wadaa'ah ...

***

From Ibn Abi Wada'ah, which is Katsiir- , he said:

Long ago, I studied at the majlis Sa'id ibn al-Musayyib.

One time he did not see me for a few days, so when I came to him, he asked me: "Where have you been all this time?"

I replied: "My wife died, so I was busy for that."

He said: "Why didn’t you inform us so that we could come to her funeral ?"

Then he asked: "Have you remarried?”

I replied: "May God love you, who wants to marry his daughter to me, while I do not have a property except only two or three dirhams?"

He said: "I (would marry my daughter to you)."

I asked: "Are you going to do that ?"

He replied: "Yes."

Then he praised Allah and shalawat (ask Allah to send blessing on ) to the Prophet sallallaahu 'alaihi wa sallam, then he married his daughter to me with the dowry (mahar ) of  two or three dirhams, then I was just standing and do not know what to do because I was too excited.

As  I walked back to my house, while I was thinking where should I get a loan from ?, I stop by at the mosque to pray Magrib then I continued back home.

At that time I was alone and I was fasting, so I broke the fast by eating dry bread and oil.

I heard the sound of knocking on my door, I asked: "Who is it ?"

He said: "Sa'id."

Then I try to remember all the people by the name of  Sa'id except Sa'eed ibn al-Musayyib (in-laws), because he has not been seen for forty years except between his home and mosque.

So I came out, and it was actually Sa'id ibn al-Musayyib (in-law), and I thought that now he would have known my condition.

I said: "O Abu Muhammad (the nickname of my in-law), why did not you send someone for me to come to you?"

He said: "No, you have more right to be visited, as before you were single then you married, so I don’t want you to sleep alone tonight, here is your wife!"

Apparently my wife was standing behind her father's height.

So my in-law held his daughter’s hand (which has now became my wife), and then pushed her to the door (so that she entered my house), then my in law closed the door (and left us both), and my wife fell because she was too shy, then I locked the door. Then I put the plate on my hand in the shadow of the oil lamp so that she won’t see it.

I climbed to the roof outside my house and I called the neighbours, they came to me and asked: "What's was going on with you?" then I told them (about our marriage), then they went to see my wife.

The news of my marriage was heard by my mother, and she came and said to me: "My face is haram (forbidden) to your face (means that I'm not your mother) if you touch your wife before I dressed her up for three days. Then my mother dressed her up for three days, then I started interact with her just like husband and wife .

Actually my wife is the most beautiful woman of all women, she was the most memorized of Qur'an, the most understand of Sunnah of the Prophet sallallaahu 'alaihi wa sallam, and she was the most knowing about the rights of the husband.

For a whole month I did not come to visit Sa'id ibn al-Musayyib (in-laws).

Then I went to his Majlis (gatherings for religious learning), I said salam and he replied my salam,  but he did not talk to me until the majlis empty  .

When there was no one left at the majlis except me, he asked: "What's the news about her ?" (he meant was his daughter who was none other than my wife).

I replied: "Fine, O Abu Muhammad,she was in a state that is loved by her friends and hated by the enemy."

He advised: "If she nuisances to you and bothers your mind, then (beat her) with a stick."

So I went to my house, then he (in-laws) gave me with twenty thousand dirhams (for the provision).

***

Do you know ...

That before Sa'id ibn al-Musayyib marrying his daughter to Katsiir Ibn Abi Wada'ah, Caliph Abdul Malik bin Marwan has come to Sa'id to make a proposal for his daughter  for Al-Walid’s son, a son of the heir to the royal crown?

What did Sa'id does ?

Sa'id rejected  the proposal of the Caliph, and in many ways, the Caliph try hard for his desire to be accomplished, but Sa'id consistent  to his decision, the Caliph became angry and whipped Sa'id with one hundred lashes was  in winter season where bone-chilling cold, and Sa'id watered with a crock of cold water, and he was dressed with only a piece of woollen cloth.

(From the book "An A'laam Siyar-Nubalaa", Al-Imam Adh-Dzahabii, vol.4 page.233-234, published.Daar Ar-Risaalah).

O the Fathers ...

Remember that good looks will fade, all the attributes of the world will be lost, and there will not be a lasting treasure ...

Prophet sallallaahu 'alaihi wa sallam said to the fathers :

"إذا جاءكم من ترضون دينه وخلقه فأنكحوه, إلا تفعلوا تكن فتنة في الأرض وفساد عريض." (رواه الترمذي وقال: حسن)

" If there comes to you one with whose religion and attitude you are satisfied, then give your daughter to him in marriage, for if you do not do so, surely there will be fitnah (test) on earth and will become widespread on earth." (HR. At-Tirmidhi, he said: hasan hadeeth).

May Allah grant all of us a Saleeh (righteous person)  In-laws like Sa'id ibn Salih al-Musayyib- to the young Muslims,

AMONG THE NEGATIVE EFFECTS OF WOMEN PUT HER FACE PICTURES ON 

THE INTERNET:

- It would make a man intentionally or not who sees it becomes tempted, even creating stains in his heart, make him fantasize (thinking) day and night, and even worse as could cause bad intentions or even commit a crime

Although a woman covers the entire body except the face and palms of her hands, then she shows herself in social media then this also cannot guarantee would save the people whose seen it from fitnah (causing problems between people/attempt to create chaotic situation that tests one’s faith), because woman's face has a very strong attraction to men, so that, even if the entire body covered properly, but if her face is showed and displayed in front of the visitors of the account, then it could cause a scandal at the heart of the beholder.

Caused by people who witnessed the photo could be scandalize then  women should not put their face images on pages that can be accessed by the men who is not her mahrom (someone who you can marry, someone who you should cover yourself)

- Teasing a man, makes him to not lower his gaze, whereas in the Qur'an ordered to gaze.  In the real life, man has not dare to take a long time staring at women, especially with the one he doesn’t know yet.  Men seem to be embarrassed if they caught when they was looking at the woman constantly.

But with the photos on the internet, give a chance to men to see it as long as they want without feeling ashamed, because no one would notice them.  And it could bring some of negative effects for both men and women. Therefore women should help the men by preventing this to happen, such as not to display their pictures.

How many women who are victims of a bad man started from Facebook, were invited to meet, deceived, kidnapped, raped, killed, etc., begins with the man interested in seeing her photo on FB, as is often reported by the media.

- Your photos can be copied and edited by bad people, turned into pornographic images, or used for other things that harm you, (for example, they make an account by using your photograph )

There is a question for Muslim women who display a picture on the internet, Who do you display the photos for ?

Allaah Subhana Wa Ta’ala has ordered muslim and muslimah to protect their eyes from the opposite sex who is not mahram. Not only that, Allaah also ordered to all of them to look after each other.

When uploading your photos on the internet then you indirectly have "signed the contract" that you liberate anyone to be free to look at you without exception. So where is your protection against your honorary and others?

O women ... do you know that:

(1) The more stares of men who are tempted to you (if in purpose shows the beauty / beauty of the body and appear tempting) then will increase your sins more

(2) the more men imagine about you .... the more passionate they become for you then the more your sins will increase too…

(3) Don’t you think the smile that you share carelessly,  will not be accountable in the future .. !!!.

 It  could be your smile,  instantly become the fantasy of a man who is not lawful to you (not halal) for days and days.., especially the beauty of your body ....

(4) If you protect your beauty and the elegance of your body only for your husband ... then you will be more beautiful and more elegant  in Allaah’s Paradise ...,

(5) However, if you let the beauty and the elegant spread out,  then remember that all of that will be gone and will melt in the grave and becomes the food of  worms and caterpillars ...

And in the hereafter ... it could be turned into the fuel of Hell fire !!
