    Imam Ahmad recorded that Ibn `Abbas said: The Prophet (Peace be upon him) was in Makkah, then he was commanded to emigrate, and Allah revealed these words: At-Tirmidhi said, “This is Hasan Sahih.”

    Al-Hasan Al-Basri commented on this Ayah, “When the disbelievers of Makkah conspired to kill the Messenger of Allah , or expel him or imprison him, Allah wanted him to fight the people of Makkah, and commanded him to go to Al-Madinah.

    What Allah said was:

    (And say: “My Lord! Let my entry be good…”) means, my entry to Al-Madinah.

    (and (likewise) my exit be good, ) means, my exit from Makkah. This was also the view of `Abdur-Rahman bin Zayd bin Aslam.

    (And grant me from You a helping authority.) Al-Hasan Al-Basri explained this Ayah; “His Lord promised to take away the kingdom and glory of Persia and give it to him, and the kingdom and glory of Byzantium and give it to him.”

    Qatadah said, “The Prophet of Allah knew that that he could not achieve this without authority or power, so he asked for authority to help him support the Book of Allah, the Laws of Allah, the obligations of Allah and to establish the religion of Allah.

    Authority is a mercy from Allah which He places among His servants, otherwise some of them would attack others, and the strong would consume the weak.” Alongside the truth, he also needed power and authority in order to suppress those who opposed and resisted him, hence Allah said:

    (Indeed We have sent Our Messengers with clear proofs,)

    Allah tells us that after the people of Nuh Alaihissalaam, He created another nation. It was said that this was `Ad, because they were the successors of the people of Nuh Alaihissalaam or it was said that they were Thamud.

    Allah sent to them a Messenger from among themselves, and he called them to worship Allah Alone with no partner or associate, but they belied him, opposed him and refused to follow him because he was a human being like them, and they refused to follow a human Messenger. They did not believe in the meeting with Allah on the Day of Resurrection and they denied the idea of physical resurrection.

    They said:

    (Does he promise you that when you have died and have become dust and bones, you shall come out alive (resurrected) Far, very far is that which you are promised!) meaning, very unlikely.

    (He is only a man who has invented a lie against Allah,and we are not going to believe in him.

    He said: “O my Lord! Help me because they deny me.” meaning, the Messenger prayed against his people and asked his Lord to help him against them. His Lord answered his prayer:

    (Allah) said: “In a little while, they are sure to be regretful.”) meaning, `for their opposition towards you and their stubborn rejection of the Message you brought to them.’

    (So, The Sayhah overtook them in truth,) meaning, they deserved that from Allah because of their disbelief and wrongdoing. The apparent meaning is that the Sayhah was combined with the furious cold wind,

    (Destroying everything by the command of its Lord! So they became such that nothing could be seen except their dwellings!) ﴿46:25﴾

    (and We made them as rubbish of dead plants.) means, they are dead and destroyed, like the scum and rubbish left by a flood, i.e., something insignificant and useless that is of no benefit to anyone.

    (So, away with the people who are wrongdoers.)

  • Dhikr for when you wake up

    Verily! In the creation of the heavens and the earth, and in the alternation of night and day, there are indeed Signs for men of understanding. Those who remember Allah standing, sitting and lying down on their sides, and think deeply about the creation of the heavens and the earth, (saying:)
     “Our Lord You. have not created this without purpose, glory is to You! Give us salvation from the torment of the Fire. 
    Our Lord! Verily, whom You admit to the Fire, indeed, You have disgraced him, and never will the oppressors find any helpers. 
    Our Lord! Verily, we have heard the call of one calling to Faith (saying:) ‘Believe in your Lord,’ and we have believed. 
    Our Lord! Forgive us our sins and expiate from us our evil deeds, and make us die in the state of righteousness together with the pious and righteous slaves. 
    Our Lord! Grant us what You promised us through Your Messengers, and disgrace us not on the Day of Resurrection, for You never break (Your) promise.”
     So, their Lord answered them (saying): “Never will I allow to be lost the work of any of you, be he male or female. You issue forth one from another, so those who emigrated and were driven out from their homes, and suffered harm in My Cause and who fought, and were killed in My Cause, verily, I will expiate from them their evil deeds and admit them into Gardens under which rivers flow ; a reward from Allah, and with Allah is the best of rewards.” 
    Let not the free disposal of the disbelievers through out the land deceive you. A brief enjoyment ; then, their ultimate abode is Hell ; and worst indeed is that place for rest. But, for those who fear their Lord, are Gardens under which rivers flow ; therein are they to dwell forever, and entertainment from Allah ; and that which is with Allah is the best for the pious and righteous slaves. 
    And there are, certainly, among the people of the Scripture, those who believe in Allah and in that which has been revealed to you, and in that which has been revealed to them, hum bling themselves before Allah. They do not sell the Verses of Allah for a little price, for them is a reward with their Lord. Surely, Allah is Swift in account. O you who believe! Have patience and contend in patience, be vigilant and informed, and fear Allah, so that you may be successful.

  • Dua to thank Allah after the removal of any hardships, grief or illness

    dua13q

    “Praise be to Allah, Who has removed from us (all) sorrow; Indeed, our Lord is surely Oft-Forgiving,Most Appreciative”

    الْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ الَّذِي أَذْهَبَ عَنَّا الْحَزَنَ ۖ إِنَّ رَبَّنَا لَغَفُورٌ شَكُورٌ

    Alhamdu lillaahil-lathee athhaba ‘annal-hazana inna rabbana laghafoorun shakoor

    Surah Fatir, verse 34

    Listen to the recitation of this dua.

    Allah says in the Holy Quran:-

    (33. `Adn (Gardens) will they enter, therein will they be adorned with bracelets of gold and pearls, and their garments therein will be of silk.) (34. And they will say: “All praise and thanks be to Allah, Who has removed from us (all) grief. Verily, our Lord is indeed Oft-Forgiving, Most Ready to appreciate.”) (35. “Who, out of His grace, has lodged us in a home that will last forever, where toil will touch us not nor weariness will touch us.”)

    Allah tells us that those whom He chose among His servants, those who inherited the Book which was revealed from the Lord of the worlds, will, on the Day of Resurrection, have an abode in Everlasting Gardens which they will enter on the Day when they are raised anew and meet Allah.

    (And they will say this which means fear of everything that is feared; it has been lifted from us and we have been relieved of all that we used to fear of the anxieties of the world and the Hereafter.

    Ibn `Abbas, may Allah be pleased with him, and others said, “He forgives them for their major sins, and appreciates even the smallest of their good deeds.”

    (Who, out of His grace, has lodged us in a home that will last forever,) means, `Who has given us this position and status out of His grace and blessing and mercy, for our good deeds are not equivalent to this.’

    It was reported in the Sahih that the Messenger of Allah said: –

    (None of you will enter Paradise by virtue of his good deeds.) They said, “Not even you, O Messenger of Allah” He said,

    (Not even me, unless Allah encompasses me with His mercy and grace.)

    (where toil will touch us not nor weariness will touch us.) means, neither hardship nor exhaustion will touch us. The words translated here as “toil” and “weariness” both mean exhaustion, as if what is meant by the negation of both is that neither their bodies nor their souls will become exhausted; and Allah knows best. They used to exhaust themselves in worshiping this world, but their obligations will come to an end when they enter Paradise, where they will enjoy eternal rest and repose.

  • Dua to seek Allah’s protection for yourself and your family

    dua16q

    ” My Lord, Save me and my family from [the consequence of] what they do.”

    رَبِّ نَجِّنِي وَأَهْلِي مِمَّا يَعْمَلُونَ

    Rabbi najjinee wa-ahlee mimmaa ya’maloon

    Surah Ash-Shuara, verse 169

    This is the prayer of Prophet Lut Alaihissalaam.

    Here Allah tells us about His servant and Messenger Lut, peace be upon him. He was Lut bin Haran bin Azar, the nephew of Ibrahim Al-Khalil, upon him be peace. Allah sent him to a mighty nation during the lifetime of Ibrahim, peace be upon them both. They lived in Sadum (Sodom) and its environs, where Allah destroyed them and turned the area into a putrid, stinking lake, which is well-known in the land of Al-Ghur the Jordan Valley, bordering the mountains of Jerusalem, between the mountains and the land of Al-Karak and Ash-Shawbak.

    He called them to Allah, to worship Him alone with no partner or associate, and to obey the Messenger whom Allah sent to them. He forbade from disobeying Allah and committing the sin that they had invented which was unknown on earth before their time; intercourse with males instead of with females.

    Their response was only to say:

    (167. They said: “If you cease not, O Lut, verily, you will be one of those who are driven out!”)

    (168. He said: “I am indeed of those who disapprove with severe anger and fury your behavior.”)

    Then he prayed to Allah against them and said:

    (169. “My Lord! Save me and my family from what they do.”)

    Allah says: (170. So, We saved him and his family, all,) (171. Except an old woman among those who remained behind.)

    This was his wife, who was a bad old woman. She stayed behind and was destroyed with whoever else was left. This is similar to what Allah says about them in Surat Al-A`raf and Surah Hud, and in Surat Al-Hijr, where Allah commanded him to take his family at night, except for his wife, and not to turn around when they heard the Sayhah as it came upon his people. So they patiently obeyed the command of Allah and persevered, and Allah sent upon the people a punishment which struck them all, and rained upon them stones of baked clay, piled up.

     

  • Dua for Success and protection from your Enemies and Evil people

    Here is a dua for Success and protection from your enemies,haters and evil peopledua17q

    “Our Lord, indeed we fear that he will hasten [punishment] against us or that he will transgress.”

    رَبَّنَا إِنَّنَا نَخَافُ أَن يَفْرُطَ عَلَيْنَا أَوْ أَن يَطْغَىٰ

    Rabbanaa innanaa nakhaafu an yafruta ‘alaynaa aw an yatghaa

    Surah Ta-ha ,verse 45

    This is the prayer of Prophet Musa Alaihissalaam.

    It can be recited for:-

    Listen to the recitation of this dua.

     

    Musa Alaihissalaam had lived among the people of Madyan, avoiding Fir`awn and his chiefs. He worked as a shepherd for his father-in-law until the appointed time for his work ended. Then he met the decree of Allah and His predetermined will, without him having any set appointment. This entire situation was under the control of Allah, Blessed be He, the Most High.

     

    Then, Allah said to Musa Alaihissalaam Alaiihssalaam and his brother,

    (43. Go both of you to Fir`awn, verily, he has transgressed.) (44. And speak to him mildly, perhaps he may accept admonition or fear (Allah).)

     

    (45. Both of them said: “Our Lord! Verily, we fear lest he should hasten to punish us or lest he should transgress.”)

    Allah, the Exalted, informs that Musa Alaihissalaam and Harun pleaded to Allah, expressing their grievance to him:

     

    They meant that Fir`awn might seize them unexpectedly with a punishment, or transgress against them by tormenting them, when they actually did not deserve it.

     

    Ad-Dahhak reported from Ibn `Abbas that he said that transgress here means, “To exceed the bounds.”

     

     

    (He (Allah) said: “Fear not, verily, I am with you both, hearing and seeing.”) meaning; “Do not fear him (Fir`awn), for verily, I am with you and I hear your speech and his speech as well. I see your place and I see his place as well. Nothing is hidden from Me of your affair. Know that his forehead is in My Hand, and he does not speak, breathe, or use any force, except by My leave and after My command. I am with you by My protection, My help and My support.”

    Allah says in the Holy Quran:-

    (83. And (remember) Ayyub, when he cried to his Lord: “Verily, distress has seized me, and You are the Most Merciful of all those who show mercy.”) (84. So We answered his call, and We removed the distress that was on him, and We restored his family to him, and the like thereof along with them as a mercy from Ourselves and a Reminder for all those who worship Us.)

     

    Allah tells us about Ayyub Alaihissalaam and the trials that struck him      

    He had plenty of livestock, cattle and crops, many children and beautiful houses, and he was tested in these things, losing every thing he had. Then he was tested with regard to his body, and he was left alone on the edge of the city and there was no one who treated him with compassion apart from his wife, who took care of him. It was said that it reached the stage where she was in need, so she started to serve people (to earn money) for his sake.

    The Prophet (Sallal laahoo alaihi wassallam) said:

    (The people who are tested the most severely are the Prophets, then the righteous, then the next best and the next best).

    According to another Hadith:

    (A man will be tested according to his level of religious commitment; the stronger his religious commitment, the more severe will be his test.)

    The Prophet of Allah, Ayyub, upon him be peace, had the utmost patience, and he is the best example of that. Yazid bin Maysarah said: “When Allah tested Ayyub, upon him be peace, with the loss of his family, wealth and children, and he had nothing left, he started to focus upon the remembrance of Allah, and he said: `I praise You, the Lord of lords, Who bestowed His kindness upon me and gave me wealth and children, and there was no corner of my heart that was not filled with attachment to these worldly things, then You took all of that away from me and You emptied my heart, and there is nothing to stand between me and You. If my enemy Iblis knew of this, he would be jealous of me. ‘ When Iblis heard of this, he became upset.

    And Ayyub, upon him be peace, said: `O Lord, You gave me wealth and children, and there was no one standing at my door complaining of some wrong I had done to him. You know that. I used to have a bed prepared for me, but I forsook it and said to myself: You were not created to lie on a comfortable bed. I only forsook that for Your sake.”’ This was recorded by Ibn Abi Hatim.

    Ibn Abi Hatim recorded from Abu Hurayrah (Radi Allahu anhu) that the Prophet (Sallal laahoo alaihi wassallam) said:

    (When Allah healed Ayyub Alaihissalaam, He sent upon him a shower of golden locusts, and he started to pick them up and gather them in his garment. It was said to him, “O Ayyub, have you not had enough” He said, “O Lord, who can ever have enough of Your mercy)

    Mujahid said: “It was said to him, `O Ayyub, your family will be with you in Paradise; if you want, We will bring them back to you, or if you want, We will leave them for you in Paradise and will compensate you with others like them.’ He said, `No, leave them for me in Paradise.’ So they were left for him in Paradise, and he was compensated with others like them in this world.”

    Allah did that to him as a mercy from Allah towards him and made him an example lest those who are beset by trials think that Allah does that to them because He do not care for them, so that they may take him as an example of patience in accepting the decrees of Allah and bearing the trials with which He tests His servants as He wills.’ And Allah has the utmost wisdom with regard to that.

    Allah says in the Holy Quran:-

    (190. Verily, in the creation of the heavens and the Earth, and in the alternation of night and day, there are indeed signs for men of understanding.) (191. Those who remember Allah standing, sitting, and lying down on their sides, and think deeply about the creation of the heavens and the earth, (saying): “Our Lord! You have not created this without purpose for You never break (Your) Promise.”) (190-194)

    Here Allah mntions the proofs of Tawhid for people of understanding, their characteristics, speech, and supplications.

    Allah said,

    (Verily, in the creation of the heavens and the Earth,) ﴿3:190﴾, referring to the sky in its height and spaciousness, the earth in its expanse and density, the tremendous features they have of rotating planets, seas, mountains, deserts, trees, plants, fruits, animals, metals and various beneficial colors, scents, tastes and elements.

    (And in the alternation of night and day), as one follows and takes from the length of the other. For instance, at times one of them becomes longer than the other, shorter than the other at times and equal to the other at other times, and the same is repeated again and again, and all this occurs by the decision of the Almighty, Most Wise.

    This is why Allah said,

    (there are indeed signs for men of understanding), referring to the intelligent and sound minds that contemplate about the true reality of things, unlike the deaf and mute who do not have sound comprehension.

    Allah then describes and praises His believing servants,

    (Those who remember Allah standing, sitting, and lying down on their sides, and think deeply about the creation of the heavens and the earth), supplicating;

    (“Our Lord! You have not created this without purpose,”)

    You did not create all this in jest and play. Rather, You created it in truth, so that You recompense those who do evil in kind, and reward those who do righteous deeds with what is better.

    The faithful believers praise Allah and deny that He does anything in jest and without purpose, saying,

    (“glory to You,”), for You would never create anything without purpose,

    (“Give us salvation from the torment of the Fire.”), meaning, “O You Who created the creation in truth and justice, Who is far from any shortcomings, or doing things without purpose or with jest, save us from the torment of the Fire with Your power and strength. Direct us to perform the deeds that make You pleased with us. Guide us to righteous work from which You admit us into the delightful Paradise, and save us from Your painful torment.”

    When Musa Alaihissalaam reached Madyan and went to drink from its water, for it had a well where shepherds used to water their flocks,he found there a group of men watering, and besides them he found two women who were keeping back. They were stopping their sheep from drinking with the sheep of those shepherds, lest some harm come to them.

    When Musa Alaihissalaam , peace be upon him, saw them, he felt sorry for them and took pity on them.

    (He said: “What is the matter with you”) meaning, `why do you not water your flocks with these people’

    They said: “We cannot water (our flocks) until the shepherds take (their flocks). meaning, `we cannot water our flocks until they finish.’

    (And our father is a very old man.) means, `this is what has driven us to what you see.’

    (24. So he watered (their flocks) for them, then he turned back to shade, and said: “My Lord! Truly, I am in need of whatever good that You bestow on me!”)

     

     

    Ibn `Abbas, Ibn Mas`ud and As-Suddi said: “He sat beneath a tree.” `

     

    Ata’ bin As-Sa’ib said: When Musa Alaihissalaam said this dua,the women heard him.

    (25. Then there came to him one of them, walking shyly. She said: “Verily, my father calls you that he may reward you for having watered (our flocks) for us.” So when he came to him and narrated the story, he said: “Fear you not. You have escaped from the people who are wrongdoers.”) (26. And said one of them (the two women): “O my father! Hire him! Verily, the best of men for you to hire is the strong, the trustworthy.”)

    One of the two daughters of the man said this, and it was said that she was the one who had walked behind Musa Alaihissalaam , peace be upon him.

    Her father said to her, `What do you know about that’ She said to him, `He lifted a rock which could only be lifted by ten men, and when I came back with him, I walked ahead of him, but he said to me, walk behind me, and if I get confused about the route, throw a pebble so that I will know which way to go.”’ `Abdullah (Ibn Mas`ud) said, “The people who had the most discernment were three: Abu Bakr’s intuition about `Umar; the companion of Yusuf Alaihissalaam when he said, `Make his stay comfortable’; and the companion of Musa Alaihissalaam , when she said:

     

    (O my father! Hire him! Verily, the best of men for you to hire is the strong, the trustworthy.).”

     

     

    (27. He said: “I intend to wed one of these two daughters of mine to you, on condition that you serve me for eight years; but if you complete ten years, it will be (a favor) from you. But I intend not to place you under a difficulty. If Allah wills, you will find me one of the righteous.”) (28. He (Musa Alaihissalaam ) said: “That (is settled) between me and you: whichever of the two terms I fulfill, there will be no injustice to me, and Allah is Surety over what we say.”)

    Ibn Abi Hatim recorded that `Ali bin Rabah Al-Lakhmi said, “I heard `Utbah bin An-Nadar As-Sulami, the Companion of the Messenger of Allah narrating that the Messenger of Allah said:

     

    (Musa Alaihissalaam , peace be upon him, hired himself out for the purpose of keeping chaste and to feed himself.)
