Linguistic Miracle of Ayatul Kursi


The Prophet's Blessed Hair


The Ziyarah of the Prophet’s ﷺ blessed hair and ghusl (with zam zam water) takes place every year on the 23rd night of Ramadan in Abu Dhabi at the house of one of the Ansars. As the scholars say, to see a part of the Prophet ﷺ body, is to see him. Allah!
Characteristics of the Prophet’s ﷺ blessed hair, as witnessed and experienced by the Ansar and in particular the Khazraji Tribe, who have had the blessed hair in their family from the time of the Prophet ﷺ. The Prince of Ansar, Ahmed Al Khazraji, who is the holder of the blessed hairs and several relics, has also witnessed these first hand.
1) The blessed hair of the Prophet ﷺ still grows, especially evident when kept away and untouched for a long period of time.
2) The blessed hair of the Prophet ﷺ splits in to 2 or 3 parts; new hair starts sprouting from one strand of hair.
3) The blessed hair of the Prophet ﷺ does not burn when directly placed in fire. This is a method to differentiate it from other hairs, as others will burn when put on fire, the blessed hair does not.
4) The blessed hair of the Prophet ﷺ does not have a shadow as it is light upon light, but when mixed with water or perfume, it does show a shadow but the shadow disappears as soon as the materials dry up.
5) When there is Dhikr or Salawat recited, the Prophet ﷺ blessed hair sways on its own and this is considered to be a sign of the Dhikr being accepted.
6) The Prophet ﷺ blessed hair shines and glows with light for the true believers, all evident for them to see.
7) Clouds form over the blessed hair of the Prophet ﷺ when outdoors. It is a known fact that clouds were always present over the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ when he would step out and likewise, it’s also present over his blessed hair when outside.
8) The household with the blessed hair of the Prophet ﷺ is protected, along with the city.
9)The blessed hair is a cure for all diseases. The Sahaba would mix water with the hair and drink it for Shifa, others kiss it and some would only see it and be cured by its blessings.
A scholar has written about 90 stories in the past 10 years of people being cured from their diseases and penned it in a book called: Secrets of the Relics of the Prophet – Asaarul Aktar ul-Nabawiyah.
10) The belongings of the Prophet ﷺ is a source of immense blessings as evident through history.
Allahumma Salli ‘ala Sayyiduna Muhammad, wa ‘ala alihi wa sahbihi wa barik wa salim.

Quran: Merits of Al-Mulk

بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم

Abu Hurayra, may Allah be pleased with him, related that Allah’s Messenger, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, said: “Verily there is a chapter from the Book of Allah, Mighty Majestic, that is only 30 verses long which interceded for a man until it removed him from the Fire and caused him enter Paradise. It is the chapter Mulk.” [Hakim]
Ibn Masud said: “A man will be visited in his grave, he will be approached from the direction of his legs and they will say: ‘You have no way from our direction, he used to recite Sura al-Mulk while standing on us.’ Then his torso will be approached and it will say: ‘You have no way against me, he held Sura al Mulk in me.’ Then he will be approached from his head and it will say: ‘You have no way against me.’” [Abdur Razaq and Hakim]
Ibn Abbas said, “Recite: ‘Exalted is He in Whose Hand is sovereignty’. Memorize it; teach it to your spouse, all of your offspring, the children of your home, and your neighbors. Verily it is a savior and an intercessor. It intercedes and pleads on the Day of Rising with its Lord for he who reads it. It seeks from his Lord to deliver him from the Fire if it is within his breast. And through it Allah rescues its reciter from the punishment of the grave.” [Bayhaqi]
And Allah Most High knows best.

Sayyidah Fatimah Az-Zhara relates


Fatimah Az-zahra’(daughter of the prophet s.a.w ) said:

“One night the prophet came to me and said,
“Oh Fatimah, do not sleep before you have completed the four tasks:

1. To finish reciting the whole Al-Quran
2. Have the prophets to intercede for you in the Hereafter
3. Have all the believers to be pleased with you
4. Perform your hajj and ‘umrah”

I (Fatimah Az-zahra’) then said to Rasulullah s.a.w, “Oh Rasulullah, you ask me to perform tasks, but which I would not be able to accomplish!”

Rasulullah s.a.w smiled and said:

1. If you recite Surah Al-Ikhlas(3 times), it’s as though you have completed the whole Qu’ran.
2. If you say salawat upon me and upon all the other prophets, we will intercede for you on the Day of Judgement.
3. If you ask for forgiveness for the believers, they will be pleased with you.
4. And if you read “subhaanAllah, walHamdulillah, walaa-ilaha- illallah,-wallaahu akbar”, it’s as if you have performed your hajj and umrah.”


Eid Takbir


اللهُ أَكبرُ اللهُ أَكبرُ اللهُ أَكبر , لا إله إلا الله , الله أكبر الله أكبر ولِلَّهِ الحَمْد (3x)

الله أكبرُ كَبيرا والحمدُ لله كثيرا وسُبْحانَ اللهِ بُكْرَةً وأَصيلاَ .

لا إله إلا الله لا نَعْبُدُ إلا إِيَّاهُ مُخْلِصِين لَهُ الدِّينَ وَلَوْ كَرِهَ الكافِرون .

لا إله إلا الله  وَحْدَه صَدَقَ وَعْدَه ونَصَرَ عَبْدَه  وأَعَزَّ جُنْدَه وهَزَمَ الأَحْزَابَ وَحْدَه

لا إله إلا الله واللهُ أكبرْ ولِلَّهِ الحَمْد

“Allah is most great, there is no god but Him, all praise belongs to Him.

There is no god but Him and we worship none but Him in complete sincerity even if the disbelievers dislike it.

There is no god but Him alone. He fulfilled His promise, gave victory to His slave, made mighty His forces and He alone destroyed the Confederates. Allah is most great, there is no god but Him, all praise belongs to Him.”

The scholars say that whenever it is recommended to remember Allah it is also recommended to mention His Messenger e. Had it not been for him there would be no `Arafat or Eid or takbir. For this reason we should add, in honour of our Messenger, his Companions, wives and progeny:

اللهُمَّ صلِّ على سَيِّدِنا مُحمد

وعلى آلِ سَيِّدِنا مُحمد

وعلى أَصْحابِ سَيِّدِنا مُحمد

وعلى أَنْصَارِ سَيِّدِنا مُحمد

وعلى أَزْواجِ سَيِّدِنا مُحمد

وعلى ذُرِّيِّةِ سَيِّدِنا مُحمد

وسلِّمْ تَسْليماً كثيراً

Seeing the Prophet Muhammad (saw) in your dreams - Sheikh Muhammad al Yaqoubi


The Virtues of Surah Mulk


1. Hazrat Abu Hurairah radiyallahu anhu reported Allah Ta’ala’s Messenger sallallahu alaihe wasallam as saying, "A Surah in the Qur’aan containing thirty verses interceded for a man till his sins were forgiven. It was Tabaarakallazi Biyadihil Mulk."
(Tirmizi, Abu Dawood, Nasai and Ibn Majah)

2. Hazrat Ibn Abbas radiyallahu anhu said that one of the Prophet’s sallallahu alaihe wasallam companions set up his tent over a grave without realising that it was a grave and it contained a man who was reciting the Surah Tabaarakallazi Biyadihil Mulk up to the end. He went and told the Holy Prophet sallallahu alaihe wasallam who said, "It is The Defender; it is The Protector which safeguards from Allah Ta’ala’s punishment."
(Tirmizi)

3. Hazrat Jabir radiyallahu anhu said it was the custom of the Holy Prophet sallallahu alaihe wasallam not to go to sleep until he had read Tabaarakallazi Biyadihil Mulk and Alif Laam Meem Tanzeel.
(Ahmad, Tirmizi and Daramee)

4. Hazrat Anas radiyallahu anhu reported Rasoolullah sallallahu alaihe wasallam as saying, "There is a Surah which will plead for its reciter till it causes him to enter paradise (Tabaarakallazi Biyadihil Mulk)."
(Tabrani)

5. Hazrat Ibn Abbas radiyallahu anhu told a man, "Shall I not give you as gift a Hadith with which you will rejoice." 

The man replied, "Why not!"

Hazrat Ibn Abbas radiyallahu anhu said, "Recite Surah Tabaarakallazi Biyadihil Mulk and teach it to your household and all your children and the children of your house and your neighbours for it is ‘The Protector and The Defender (or Hazrat Ibn Abbas radiyallahu anhu said) it will plead with its Lord for its reciter and it will intercede for its reciter to protect him from the punishment of the fire and to save its reciter from the punishment of the grave. Rasoolullah sallallahu alaihe wasallam has said, ‘It is my hearts desire that this Surah be present in the heart of every person of my Ummah’."
