Please help improve this article. (May 2023) (Learn how and when to remove this message) In Sunni Islam, the Hadith of Gabriel (also known as, Ḥadīth Jibrīl) is a ninth-century hadith of the Islamic prophet Muhammad (the last prophet of Islam) which expresses the religion of Islam in a concise manner.[1] It is believed to contain a summary of the core of the religion of Islam, which are: Islām (إسلام), which is described with the "Five Pillars of Islam," Īmān (إيمان), which is described with the "Six Articles of Faith," Iḥsān (إحسان), or "doing what is beautiful," and al-Sā’ah (الساعة), or The Hour, which is not described, but its sign...

Abu Hurrairah

 Abu Hurayrah Al-Dawsi Al-Zahrani often spelled Abu Hurairah (R.A.), was one of the companions (Sahabah) of Prophet Mohammad (S.A.W.) and the most prolific narrator of Hadith. He narrated more than 5000 hadiths (about 5374 hadiths). Abu Hurayrah (R.A.) was a simple man from Yemen but through his enormous efforts rose to one of the highest positions in Islamic history. He was known by the kunyah Abu Hurayrah "Father of a Kitten". Abu Hurayrah (R.A.) spent four years (some say two years) in the company of the Prophet Mohammad (S.A.W.) and went on expeditions and journeys with him. Abu Hurayrah’s (R.A.) father died when he was young. According to some sources, his name at birth was Abdu-Shams. Abu Hurayrah became a Muslim at the hands of At-Tufayl ibn Amr (R.A.), the chieftain of the Banu Daws tribe to which he belonged. The Banu Daws lived in the region of Tihamah which stretches along the coast of the Red Sea in southern Arabia. When At-Tufayl (R.A.) returned to his village af...

Death of a loved one

 The death of a loved one can be a life-altering experience. Every person who experiences the loss of a loved has their own unique pain or set of circumstances to contend with. It can be a time of great difficulty, and in the same breath, great solace, as we often gain Khalwa (seclusion) with Allah SWT. In the Islamic tradition, Muslims are encouraged to ponder on our death and the death of those we love each day. As prepared as some of us may be however, it can still be a very challenging time as we grapple with the reality of no longer being with those who are dear to us. Islam is rich on the subject of death. There are many deeply compassionate teachings on how we are supposed to understand and treat death – at the root of every teaching is the understanding that we are returning to our maker. Muslims believe that when a human being dies, their soul returns to their creator, awaiting the Day Of Judgement. In Islam, we can take solace in knowing that we will be united with those ...

Meccan life of the Holy Prophet Muhammad (PBUH)

 If the Prophet's emigration to Madina opened new vistas for the message of Islam and its eventual expansion over the Arabian peninsula, nonetheless the Makkah period despite the persecution and hardships, was instrumental in laying the firm foundations of Monotheism, which were to flower in Madina later on. Briefly speaking, the major landmarks of the Islamic call in this period are explained underneath for our readers: 1. The First Revelation The coming of the Archangel Gabriel with the tidings of Prophethood and the first revelation, as we have already explained. 2. Da'wat Dhul-Ashira The invitation to his kinsmen the Bani Hashim to accept Islam. The event known as Da'wat Dhul-Ashira was a formal announcement of Muhammad's (S) mission and a turning point in the history of the divine message and its spread. Undeterred it set the tone for the making of the first group of dedicated Muslims, who despite severe persecution and hardships gathered around the Prophet to assi...

 First Year of Hijrah: Why Madinah was Chosen: Close to Makkah As they were leaving all their friends and family behind, this was important They had already offered him leadership during the time of the second pledge People were of mild nature They had already accepted Islam No priest class There would be no pre-fixed beliefs and religious practices A safe haven for the Prophet Due to the Second Pledge of Aqabah, it had been vowed to protect him from the Quraish Allah ordered the Prophet to do so  Arrival: When he reached Madinah, there was a huge welcome Everyone pled to him to stay with them In order to avoid conflict, he left the choice of his home to where the camel stopped – an empty plot belonging to Sahar and Sohail in front of Abu Ayyub Ansari’s house Despite their inclination to give it for free, it was bought from them  He changed the name of Yasrab (City of Diseases) to Madinatun-Nabi (The Enlightened City) Construction of Masjid e Nabvi: After arriving in Madi...
