The Doors of Sadaqah

Abu Dhar al-Ghafari said: The Messenger of Allah (sal Allahu alaihi wasallam) said: Sadaqah is prescribed for every person every day the sun rises. I said: O Messenger of Allah, from what do we give sadaqah if we do not possess property? He said: The doors of sadaqah are takbir (Allahu Akbar), Subhan Allah, Alhamdulillah, La-ilaha-ilAllah, Astaghfirullah, enjoining good, forbidding evil, removing thorns, bones and stones from the paths of people, guiding the blind, listening to the deaf and dumb until you understand them, guiding a person to his object of need if you know where it is, hurrying with the strength of your legs to one in sorrow who is appealing for help, and supporting the weak with the strength of your arms. These are all the doors of sadaqah. [Ahmad]

In other words one does not need to have financial resources to earn the reward of sadaqah. There are many deeds that qualify as sadaqah with Allah (subhana wa taala). In addition to those listed above the following ordinary courtesies are also sadaqah if we do them with the intention of pleasing Allah with them.

1. To administer justice between two people is sadaqah.
2. To assist a man upon his mount so that he may ride it is sadaqah.
3. To place his luggage on the animal is sadaqah.
4. A good word is sadaqah.
5. Every step taken toward prayer is sadaqah.
6. Your smile for your brother is sadaqah.
7. Planting anything from which a person, an animal or anything eats is sadaqah

Fall in love or fall in hate,
get inspired or be depressed.
Ace a test or flunk a class.
Make babies or make art.
Speak the truth the truth or lie and cheat.
Dance on tables or sit in the corner.
Life is divine chaos.
Embrace it.
And enjoy in the ride.

DO YOU KNOW WHAT IS ?
ATTAHIYAT [ we pray 5 times in our salat]

[ MUST READ TILL END]

Attahiyat is a very important 'Dua' we pray.

Attahiyat is actually a part of the conversation between Allah Subhanahu wa ta'ala and Prophet Muhammad (Sall'Allahu alayhi wasalam) during his (Sall'Allahu alayhi wasalam) journey of Al Isra Wal Miraj.

When Prophet Muhammad (Sall'Allahu alayhi wasalam) met Allah Subhanahu wa ta'ala,
he (Sall'Allahu alayhi wasalam) didn't say 'Asalam aleikum'.

What is someone going to say when he meets Allah Subhanahu wa ta'ala?
We can't wish HIM peace because All sources of peace are through HIM.

So Prophet Muhammad (Sall'Allahu alayhi wasalam) said:

AttahiyyaatuLillahi Was Salawatu Wattayyibatu

All compliments, all prayer and worship are for Allah (Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala)

Allah Subhanahu wa ta'ala replied:

Assalamu Alaika Ayyuhannabi 'yu 'Warahmatullahi Wabarka'tuhu

Peace be upon you, Oh Prophet (Muhammad Sall'Allahu alayhi wasalam), and Allah's (Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala) mercy and blessings.

To this, Prophet Muhammad (Sall'Allahu alayhi wasalam) replied:

Assalamu Alaina Wa'ala'Ibadillahis Saa'liheen

Peace be on us and on all good slaves of Allah (Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala)

(Note, when Allah Subhanawatala sent mercy and blessings upon the Prophet Muhammad (Sall'Allahu alayhi wasalam), he (Sall'Allahu alayhi wasalam) included us in his reply (and on all good salves of Allah Subhanahu wa Ta'ala)).

And listening to this conversation between Allah Subhanawatala and His Messenger (Sall'Allahu alayhi wasalam), the angels said,

Ash'had'u'un La ilahaillallahu
I bear witness that no one is worthy of worship except Allah (Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala)

Wa Ash'hadu Anna MuhammadunAbd'uhu Wa Rasooluh
And I bear witness that Muhammad (Sall'Allahu alayhi wasalam) is His slave and Messenger.

SubhanAllah!

I understand the importance of this conversation to be included in our daily prayers
As if to remind when and h

CO-INCIDENCE OF LIFE:
1. CHURCH has 6 letters so does MOSQUE.
2. BIBLE has 5 letters so does QURAN.
3. LIFE has 4 letters so does DEAD.
4. HATE has 4 letters, so does LOVE....
5. ENEMIES has 7, so does FRIENDS.
6. LYING has 5, so does TRUTH.
7. HURT has 4, so does HEAL.
8. NEGATIVE has 8, so does POSITIVE.
9. FAILURE has 7, so does SUCCESS.
10. BELOW has 5, but so does ABOVE.
11. CRY has 3 letters so does JOY.
12. ANGER has 5 so does HAPPY.
13. RIGHT has 5 so does WRONG.
14. RICH has 4 so does POOR.
15. FAIL has 4 so does PASS
16. KNOWLEDGE has 9 so does IGNORANCE.
Are they all by Co-incidence? We should Choose wisely, this
means LIFE is like a Double-Edged Sword.
If u think it is your alarm clock that woke you up this morning, try putting it beside a dead body and you will realise that it is the Grace of Allaah that woke you up. If you are grateful to Allaah, forward this to all your friends to inform them that it is JUST BY THE GRACE OF Allaah that we are alive. stay blessed.
