21 Tips To Help Erase Sins - Prophet Muhammed SAW

1) Repenting Allah says : “O son of Adam, so long as you call upon Me and ask of Me, I shall forgive you for what you have done, and I shall not mind. O son of Adam, if your sins reached the clouds of the sky and if you then ask forgiveness of Me, I will forgive you. O son of Adam, were you to come to Me with sins nearly as great as the earth and were you then to face Me, ascribing no partner to Me, I would bring you forgiveness nearly as great as it.” [Hadith Qudsi] 2) Performing Prayer The Prophet (saws) said :“When the time for a prayer comes, if any Muslim performs ablution well and offers his prayer with humility and bowing, it will be an expiation for his past sins, so long as he has not committed a major sin; and this applies to for all times.” [ Muslim ] 3) Performing Wudhu (ablution) The Prophet (saws) said :“He who performed ablution well, his sins would come out from his body, even coming out from under his nails.” [ Sahih Muslim ] 4) Attending the Jumu'ah Salah (Friday Prayer) The Prophet (saws) said : “The five prayers and from one Friday prayer to (the next) Friday prayer is an expiation (of the sins committed in between their intervals) if major sins are not committed.” [ Sahih Muslim ]. “Whoever takes a bath on Friday, purifies himself as much as he can, then uses his (hair) oil or perfumes himself with the scent of his house, then proceeds (for Jumua prayer) and does not separate two persons sitting together (in the mosque), then prays as much as (Allah has) written for him and then remains silent while the Imam is delivering the Khutba, his sins in-between the present and the last Friday would be forgiven.” [ Sahih Al-Bukhari ] 5) Waiting for Prayer Messenger of Allah (S.A.W.S) asked : “Shall I not tell you of something by means of which Allah erases sins and raises you in status?”. They said :“Yes, O Messenger of Allah.” He (saws) said : “Doing wudoo’ well even when it is difficult, taking many steps to the mosques and waiting for praying after prayer. That is (equivalent) to guarding the frontier.” [ Muslim ] 6) Doing good deeds Do more good deeds because Allah said :“ Verily, the good deeds remove the evil deeds (small sins).” [ Quran : 11 verse 114 ] 7) Performing Umrah and Hajj The Prophet (saws) said :“Whoever performs Hajj for Allah’s pleasure and does not have sexual relations with his wife, and does not do evil or sins then he will return (after Hajj free from all sins) as if he were born anew.” [ Sahih Al-Bukhari ] “The performance of Umra is an expiation for the sins committed (between it and the previous one). And the reward of Hajj Mabrur (the one accepted by Allah) is nothing except Paradise.” [ Sahih Al-Bukhari ] 8) Saying ‘Ameen’ after the Imam The Prophet (saws) said :“When the Imam says 'Ameen’, you should all say 'Ameen’ at that time, and he whose 'Ameen’ coincides with the 'Ameen’ of the angels, all his past sins will be forgiven.” [ Bukhari ] 9) Calling out Adhaan The Prophet (saws) said :“The muadhin (the one who call out the prayer) will receive forgiveness to the extent to which his voice reaches, and every moist and dry place will testify on his behalf; and he who attends (the congregation of) prayer will have 25 prayers recorded for him.” [ Aby Dawud ] 10) Walking to the Prayer Place The Prophet (saws) said :“If he performs ablution completely and then goes to the mosque with the sole intention of perfoming the prayer, and nothing urges him to proceed to the mosque except the prayer, then on every step which he takes towards the mosque, he will be raised one degree or one of his sins will be forgiven. The angels will keep on asking Allah’s forgiveness and blessings for everyone of you so long as he keeps sitting at his praying place. The angels will say, 'O Allah, bless him! O Allah, be merciful to him!’ as long as he does not do a thing which gives trouble to others.” [ Bukhari ] 11) Giving charity The Prophet (saws) said :“The charity erases the bad deed like the water puts out the fire.” [ Tirmidhi ] 12) Asking forgiveness from others on wronging them The Prophet (saws) said :“Whoever has oppressed another persons concerning his reputation or anything else, he should beg him to forgive him before the Day of Ressurection when there will be no money (to compensate for wrong deeds), but if he has good deeds, those good deeds will taken from him according to his oppression which he has done, and if he has no good deeds, the sins of the oppressed person will be loaded on him.” [ Bukhari ] 13) Reciting Salawaat (Blessings) on Prophet Muhammad S.A.W.S The Prophet (saws) said :“He who sends blessings on me once Allah sends blessings on him ten times and removes from him ten times and raises him by ten degrees.” [ al-Nasa'i ] 14) Being kind to animals The Prophet (saws) said :“A prostitute was forgiven by Allah, because passing by a panting dog near a well and seeing that the dog was about to die of thirst, she took off her shoe, and tying it with head-cover she drew out some water for it. So Allah forgave her because of that.” [ Sahih Al-Bukhari ] 15) Praising Allah after Eating Food The Prophet (saws) said :“ He who has taken food and says at the end : Al-hamdu lillahi-lladhi at'amani hadha, wa razaqanihi min ghairi haulin minni wa la quwwatin (All praise is due to Allah Who has given me food to eat and provided it without any endeavor on my part or any power), all his past (minor) sins will be forgiven.” [ At-Tirmidhi ] 16) Removing Obstacles from the Road or Way The Prophet (saws) said :“ While a man was on the way, he found a thorny branch of tree on the way and removed it. Allah thanked him for that deed and forgave him (his sins).” [ Bukhari ] 17) Hide Other’s faults and sins The Prophet (saws) said :“ He who conceals (the faults) of a Muslim, Allah would conceal his faults in the world and in the Hereafter. Allah is at the back of a servant so long as the servant is at the back of his brother.” [ Sahih Muslim ] He (saws) also said :“ The believer will be brought close to his Lord until He conceals him and makes him confess hin sin. Allah will say, 'Do you remember such and such a sin?’ The man will say, 'Yes, I admit it.’ The Lord will say, 'I concealed it for you in the world and I forgave you for it today.” [ Bukhari ] 18) Observing Patience during Hard Times The Prophet (saws) said :“ Whenever a believer is stricken with a calamity (discomfort, illness, anxiety, grief or worry), even the pricking of a thorn, his sins are expiated for him.” [ Bukhari, Muslim ] He (saws) also said :“ When Allah loves someone He tests them, as for whoever is content Allah is pleased with him, and as for whoever is discontented, Allah is displeased with him.” [Tirmidhi, classed as Hasan] 19) Making some dhikr The Prophet (saws) said :“ Whoever says, 'Subhan Allahi wa bihamdihi’, 100 times a day, will be forgiven all his sins even if they were as much as the foam of the sea.” [ Sahih Al-Bukhari ] He (saws) said :“ If anyone glorifies Allah after every prayer 33 times (SubhanAllah), and praises Allah 33 times (Alhamdulillah), and declares His Greatness 33 times ( Allah hu Akbar ), ninety-nine times in all, and to complete a hundred says : 'La ilaaha illal-lah wahdahu la sharika lahu, lahul-mulk wa lahul-hamd wa huwa 'alaa kulli shai-in qadeer’ his sins will be forgiven even if these are as abundant as the foam of the sea.” [ Sahih Muslim ] He (saws) said :“ If anyone says: Astaghfirullah-alladhi la ilaaha illa Huwal-Haiyyul-Qayyoumu, wa atoubi ilaihi ( I seek forgiveness of Allah besides Whom there is non worthy of worship, the Ever-Living, the Self-Subsisting, and I turn to Him in repentance ), his sins will be forgiven even if he should have run away from the battlefield.” In another narration, these words are to be repeated 3 times.[ Abu Dawud, At-Tirmidhi and Al-Hakim ] He (saws) said :“ If anyone sits in an assembly where there is clamor and says before getting up to leave 'Subhanaka Allahumma wa bihamdika, ash-hadu Allah ilaaha illa-anta, astaghfiruka wa atubu ilayka’ (Glory to be to You, O Allah, I begin with declaring all praise is to You, I testify there is no god but You; I ask Your pardon & turn to You in repentance), he will be forgiven any sin (of the tongue) he might have committed in that assembly.” [ Tirmidhi] 20) Saying 'Subhan-Allah’ 100 times Sa’d bin Abu Waqqas ( May Allah be pleased with him ) reported : We were with the Messenger of Allah (SAWS) when he asked :“Is anyone of you unable to earn a thousand good deeds?” One of those present asked: “How can one earn thousand good deeds in a day?” He (SAWS) replied :“By saying :'SubhanAllah 100 times, then 1000 good deeds will be recorded for him or 1000 sins will be blotted out from his record.” [ Muslim ] 21) The best duaa for seeking forgiveness is to say : “Allahuma Anta Rabbi, la ilaha illa Anta, khalaqtani wa ana 'abduka, wa ana 'ala 'ahdika wa wa'dika mastata'tu, a'udhu bika min sharri ma sana'tu, abu'u laka bini'matika 'alayya, wa abu'u laka bidhanbi faghfir li, fa innahu la yaghfirudh-dhunuba illa Anta.” (O Allah! You are my Lord. There is no god except You. You have created, I am Your slave, I hold to Your Covenant as far as I can. I seek refuge in You from the evil of what I have done. I acknowledge the favours that You have bestowed upon me and I confess my sins. Pardon me, for none but You has the power to pardon). He who supplicates in these terms during the day with firm belief in it and dies on the same day (before the evening), he will be one of the dwellers of Jannah; anf if anyone supplicates in these terms during the night with firm belief in it and dies before the morning, he will be one of the dwellers of Jannah.“ [ Al-Bukhari ] May Allah erase our sins and save us from the torment of Hell. Ameen

may the most merciful, ease our pain and suffering, grant us jannatul firdaus, bring us closer to him, place us amongs those who are patient, kind, forgiving, compassionate, loving, honest, warm, humble gentle and pious. allahumma ameen.

Zaid ibn Thabit reported: The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said, “Whoever makes the world his most important matter, Allah will confound his affairs and make poverty appear before his eyes and he will not get anything from the world except what has been decreed for him. Whoever makes the Hereafter his most important matter, Allah will settle his affairs and make him content in his heart and the world will come to him although he does not want it.”

How to make your child love the Quran? 1. Tell stories. Everybody loves stories, and the Quran is full of them. Allah says: “We relate to you the best of stories” (12:3).

Tell the story of Yusuf with his siblings (Surrah 12), Ibrahim with his father (19:41-50) and Luqman with his son (31:13-19).

Children also love animal stories and the Quran has some of those as well.

Tell about the initiative of the ant (27:18), the courage of the hoopoe (27:20) and the good company of the dog (18:18). 2. A Quranic manner a week.

Select one manner in which the family will practice for a week. During this week, read about it in the Quran and Seerah.

If it was kindness, read on kindness to parents (17-23). If about patience read about the patience of Ayyub (Job) (21: 83-84). 3. Encourage your child to read the Quran and reward the action.

Kiss and hug when they read or memorize verses.

4. Engage with competitions and quizzes. Children will love it.

Ask questions like:

Q: how many parts (or juz’) are there in the Quran?

Q: Name three Prophets (or countries, animals, plants etc.) mentioned in the Quran?

Quiz while dropping to school, in a trip or when having iftar.

5. Connect to certain Surahs.

Use facts like certain Surhas have a specific value or importance to encourage the child to read or memorize.

Al-Ikhlas (Sura 112), for example, is equal to a third of the Quran and al-Mulk (Sura 67) guards and protects. 6. Heals and cures.

When my daughter is ill, I put my hand on her head and read Al Ikhlas, Al Falaq, and Al Nas.

I then pray in a voice she could also hear:

“O Allah! Remove the pain and cure her. You are the Great Curer. There is no cure but through You, which leaves behind no disease.“

A child must appreciates that Allah is the one who heals, and that the healing happens also through the words of the Quran.

7. Dua: there are many Quranic prayers and remembrance (zikr) that if the child learns will connect to the Quran.

When in the car to school, for example, the child says: “Glory to Him Who has subjected this [the vehicle] to us, and we could have never had it. And verily to Our Lord we indeed are to return” (43:13-14).

May Allah bless our children and open up their hearts to love the Quran. Hesham Al-Awadi, author of #Muhammad ‎ﷺ: How He Can Make You Extraordinary

What was our Prophet like?

He was the mildest of people and also the warmest and most generous of them.

He would fix his own sandals, patch his own clothes and help his family with the daily errands.

He was very shy; shyer than a virgin in her chamber.

He would respond to the invitation of slaves.

He would visit the sick.

He would walk alone [without guards].

He would allow others to saddle-up with him on his mount.

He would accept gifts.

He would eat food that was sent as a gift; but he never consumed anything that had been given as charity.

He did not have enough dates with which to be satisfied, nor was he satisfied with barley-bread for more than three consecutive days.

He would eat whatever food was readily available.

He never criticized food.

He never ate lying down, and ate whatever was closest to him.

He loved perfumes and disliked foul odors.

He honored people of virtue, and kept affectionate ties with nobles and dignitaries.

He never rejected anyone and would accept the excuse of those who presented excuses.

He would joke, but never would he utter anything untrue.

He laughed, but not loudly.

He would not let any time pass without being in the service of God or being engaged in whatever was essential for his own self-development.

He never cursed women, nor abused servants.

He never hit anyone, except for in jihad in God’s cause.

He did not perform revenge for his own sake, but did so when God’s limits had been transgressed.

If he was presented with two options he took the easier of the two, unless it entailed disobedience or the severing of ties – in which case he would be the furthest away from it.

He would sit in an assembly wherever it was convenient and would mingle among his Companions as one of them, so much so that when strangers came, they couldn’t tell him from others, except after inquiring as to who he was.

He would take to long periods of silence, but when he did speak he did so slowly and clearly, repeating himself so that he would be understood.

He used to pardon, even when he was in a position to punish.

He wouldn’t confront anyone with what they did not like.

He was the most truthful of men.

He was the one who most fulfilled his trusts, pledges and commitments.

He was the easiest going of people; the most affable; and the most generous in friendship.

Whoever looked at him unexpectedly, was amazed by him.

Whoever knew him, loved him.

His Companions, whenever they spoke about worldly affairs, he would join in with them; and when, in recollecting their pre-Islamic days, they would laughed, he would simply smile.

He was also the bravest of men.

One of his Companions recounts: When the fighting grew intense, we would seek shelter behind God’s Messenger.

[storiesofthesahabah]

17 Ramadhan, 2 AH, Friday This was the day, the battle of Badr took place. Indeed, almost all Muslims and non Muslims know about this great battle, but more than it being a battle it is also a treasure chest of reminders and reflections.  As much as I wanted to narrate the whole story about this Badr, I chose to pick one of the highlights of this event - the angels sent as help from Allah Azza Wa Jall. _____ The Prophet Sallallahu Alaihi Wassalaam remained in the hut praying earnestly to Allah Azza Wa Jall to protect the Muslims and grant them victory. Allah Azza Wa Jall says in the Qur’an: “Remember you implored the assistance of your Lord. And He answered you: ‘I will assist you with a thousand of angels, ranks on ranks. Allah made it but a message of hope, and assurance to your hearts: (in any case) there is no help except from Allah: and Allah is Exalted in Power, Wise.” [Qur’an Al Anfal: 9-10] It was narrated by Al Bukhari on the authority of Ibn ‘Abbas RA who said, “On the day of the battle of Badr, the Prophet Sallallahu Alaihi Wassalaam said,  “O Allah! I appeal to You (to fulfill) Your Covenant and Promise. O Allah! If Your Will is that none should worship You (then give victory to the pagans)!’ Then Abu Bakr RA took hold of him by the hand and said. “This is sufficient for you.” The Prophet Sallallahu Alaihi Wassalaam came out saying a verse from the Qur’an, “Their multitude will be put to flight and they will show their backs.” [Qur’an Al Qamar: 45] Ibn Ishaq said that the Prophet Sallallahu Alaihi Wassalaam persisted in praying to Allah to grant him victory, which He had promised to him, and Abu Bakr RA would tell him, “O Prophet of Allah, your Lord will fulfill His Promise to you.” While the Prophet Sallallahu Alaihi Wassalaam was in the hut he slept a light sleep; then he awoke and said, “Be of good cheer, O Abu Bakr. Allah’s help is coming to you. Here is Jibrail holding the rein of a horse and leading it. The dust is upon his front teeth.” Then the Prophet Sallallahu Alaihi Wassalaam went forth to the people and incited them, saying, “By the One in Whose Hand is the soul of Muhammad, no man will be slain this day fighting against them with steadfast courage advancing not retreating but Allah will cause him to enter Paradise.” Al Bukhari narrated on the authority of Rafi Al Zuqri RA who was one of the Badr warriors that Jibrail came to the Prophet Sallallahu Alaihi Wassalaam and said, “How do you look upon the warriors of Badr among yourselves?” The Prophet Sallallahu Alaihi Wassalaam said, “As the best of the Muslims.” Or said a similar statement. On that, Jibrail said, “And so are the Angels who participated in Badr.” Indeed, angels did participate in the battle of Badr. Ibn Abbas RA said that the Angels did not fight any battle but Badr. In the other battles they were there as reinforcements, but they did not fight. In this context, Ibn Ishaq reported that Waqid Al Laith RA said that I was pursuing a polytheist at Badr to smite him, when his head fell off before I could get at him with my sword, and I knew that someone else had killed him.  _____ This short excerpt from the event that took place that day would really tell you how Allah Azza Wa Jall helped, helps and will help those who call upon Him, and He when He helps, He Helps in the BEST way, in here, with the best of angels.  Now, let us ponder hard about this. How many times have we called upon Allah for help when we were facing such trials and hardships in our life? And how many times did His help come? Yet, most of the times we fail to recognize that there is no Help except in Allah.  His help can come in different ways, in different times but such help were the structured in the best way it can ever be, because it was from Allah Azza Wa Jall.  How cruel is our heart that when we find ease from something that hurts us, we couldn’t even utter Alhamdulillah. How cruel is it that when we find a way out from a situation that we thought we could never escape, we couldn’t even think of thanking Allah for it. How cruel is it that when we want something so much yet we couldn’t get it, instead of thinking that it must have been for the best for us, we blame his Qadr.  How many of us hit rock bottom? How many of us had the worst of cases, yet we are still here, reading this, breathing? The help of Allah is ever but near. It is us who refuse to call upon Him. It is us who doesn’t. _____ And we pray that through remembering the battle of Badr and what has taken place during that day would also enlighten and uplift our heart to be thankful for what we have been blessed with and to remember such mighty people who have fought for this religion and send salutations to our beloved Prophet Sallallahu Alaihi Wassalaam. Amin. ______ This was a day of victory. This was a day of triumph.  Let this victory live on through worshipping Allah in the best way possible. -Zohayma _____ Story was taken from Ghazwatul Rasool, Ibn Kathir, Al Manarah, pp. 35-39

Where can I find happiness?

[addyadd2005-blog]

Never judge a book by it’s cover.! Our pious predecessors, salaf-us-saaliheen.

Sultan Murad IV, the Sultan of the Ottoman Empire from 1623-1640, would often anonymously go into the midst of the people and see their state. One evening, he felt an uneasiness in himself and the urge to go out. He called for his head of security and out they went. They came to a busy vicinity, and found a man lying on the ground. The Sultan prodded him but he was dead and the people were going about their own business. Nobody seemed to care about the dead man lying on the ground.

The Sultan called upon the people. They didn't recognise him and asked him what he wanted. He said, "Why is this man lying dead on the ground and why does no one seem to care? Where is his family?"

They replied, "He is so and so, the drunkard and fornicator!"

The Sultan said, "Is he not from the Ummah of Muhammad (saw)? Now help me carry him to his house."

The people carried the dead man with the Sultan to his house and once they reached, they all left. The Sultan and his assistant remained. When the man's wife saw his dead body, she began weeping. She said to his dead body, "May Allah have mercy on you! O friend of Allah! I bear witness that you are from the pious ones."

The Sultan was bewildered. He said, "How is he from the pious ones when the people say such and such about him? So much so that no one even cared he was dead!"

She replied, "I was expecting that. My husband would go to the tavern every night and buy as much wine as he could. He would then bring it home and pour it all down the drain. He would then say, 'I saved the Muslims a little today.' He would then go to a prostitute, give her some money and tell her to close her door till the morning. He would then return home for a second time and say, 'Today, I saved a young woman and the youth of the believers from vice.'"

The people would see him buying wine and they would see him going to the prostitutes and they would consequently talk about him. One day I said to him, "When you die, there will be no one to bathe you, there will be no one to pray over you and there will be no one to bury you!"

He laughed and replied, "Don't fear, the Sultan of the believers, along with the pious ones shall pray over my body."

The Sultan began to cry. He said, "By Allah! He has said the truth, for I am Sultan Murad. Tomorrow we shall bathe him, pray over him and bury him."

And it so happened that the Sultan, the scholars, the pious people and the masses prayed over him.

We judge people by what we see and what we hear from others. Only if we were to see what was concealed in their hearts, a secret between them and their Lord. If Allah knows, why does it matter who knows and who doesn't know?!

"O you who believe, abstain from many of the suspicions. Some suspicions are sins. And do not be curious (to find out faults of others), and do not backbite one another. Does one of you like that he eats the flesh of his dead brother? You would abhor it. And fear Allah. Surely Allah is Most-Relenting, Very-Merciful." (49:12)

[abu-muawiyah]

Some of the Salaf said: “I do not know which of the two blessings upon me is greater, the blessing that Allah (ﷻ) guided me to Islam from amongst all the religions, or the blessing that Allah (ﷻ) guided me to the Sunnah from amongst all the groups, sects. They are the two greatest blessings: the blessing of Islam and the Sunnah.”

“I love that wife who was given one dinar”

A man from the tribe of Banū Nawfal Ibn ‘Abd Manāf married a second wife who was fair & pretty. Umm Māhjan, his first wife, who was dark in complexion, was upset when she heard the news. Jelousy & disappointment drove her to confront her husband – but he explained: “By Allāh, Umm Māhjan, there is no need to jealously guard me anymore. I am an old man. You too are old & there is no need for me to be jealous over you. Nobody can be more honoured in my sight than you, neither does anybody enjoy a greater right over me than u. I, therefore, advise u to accept my decision & avoid bad thoughts from taking hold of you.” These words pleased her and she felt comfortable. A few days later, he said to her, “Wouldn’t u like to live together with my new wife? I think it would create harmony between us. Further, it will be a means of systematic organisation within our home & it will prevent outsiders from making nasty remarks against us.” She agreed and he gave her a dinar, saying: “I dislike your co-wife seeking superiority over u simply because she sees you enjoying some speciality. Take this & prepare some special gift which u can give to her tomorrow when we meet.” He then approached his new wife & said: “I intend to unite u with Umm Māhjan tomorrow. She wants to honour u & I dislike her making any attempt to be superior than u simply because you enjoy some speciality. Take this dinar & purchase for her a gift so that she does not regard you scepticism. But do not mention anything to her about the dinar.” He then approached a trusted friend & sought his assistance: “I have arranged for my new wife to meet with Umm Māhjan tomorrow. I would like u to visit us at breakfast, at which time I will insist that u join us. When we are done with the meal, you should ask me which wife I hold dearer. I will express my displeasure at the question, following which you should insist upon oath that I answer you.” The next morning, his new wife visited Umm Māhjan and his friend came around as agreed.

After they had eaten, his friend turned to him and asked, “Which of your two wives do u love the more?”

He replied ” Subhanallah! How dare you ask a question of this nature while both my wives are listening to our discussion. This is a grave question indeed!” But when his friend insisted on an answer, he declared: “I love that wife who was given one dinar. I will not utter a word more than this”

Each of his two wives Chuckled in pleasure, thinking that she was the one alluded to. {Kitab al-Adhkiya, p. 108; humorous Anecdotes by Imam Ibn Jawzi ra}
