Authentic Islamic Knowledge

Say ˹O Prophet, that Allah says˺, “O My servants who believe! Be mindful of your Lord. Those who do good in this world will have a good reward. And Allah’s earth is spacious. Only those who endure patiently will be given their reward without limit.”

39:10

Prophet Muhammad ﷺ said:
“If someone peeps into your house without your permission, and you throw a stone at him and destroy his eye, there is no blame upon you.”
— Sahih Muslim

The Prophet ﷺ said:

When Sulaiman bin Dawud finished building Baitil Maqdis, he asked Allah for three things:

Judgment that was in harmony with His judgment.

A dominion that no one after him would have.

And that no one should come to this mosque, intending only to pray there, but he would emerge free of sin as the day his mother bore him.

Sunan Ibn Majah 1408 (Sahih).

Prophet Muhammad ﷺ said:

“I had once forbidden you from keeping the meat of the sacrifice for more than three days so that those who had extra could share with the poor and needy.

But now, eat from it as you wish, feed others, and store it.”

Sahih Muslim: 1971

🕋 A Stone From Paradise 🕋

The Prophet ﷺ said:

“The Black Stone descended from Paradise, and it was whiter than milk, but the sins of the children of Adam made it black.”

📚 Jamiʿ at-Tirmidhi

✨ Reflection:

Think about this…

A stone from Jannah…

Pure… bright… and whiter than milk…

But over time, the sins of mankind affected it until it became black.

What a powerful reminder.

If sins can leave an effect even on a stone from Paradise…

What do sins do to the human heart?

That is why Islam teaches us to repent, seek forgiveness, and purify our hearts before sins begin to darken them.

The Black Stone is not worshipped…

But it stands as a reminder of Paradise, repentance, and the reality of sin.

💭 Sins may darken the heart… but sincere tawbah can bring light back again.

Prophet Muhammad ﷺ said:

“There are four types of animals that are not suitable for sacrifice (Qurbani):

1. The animal that is clearly blind in one eye,

2. The animal that is clearly sick,

3. The animal that is lame and cannot walk properly,

4. And the animal that is very weak and thin.”

— Jami’ Tirmidhi 1497 (Sahih)

The Prophet ﷺ said:

“If anyone of you feels drowsy during his Ṣalāh, let him go and take a nap.”

— Sunan an-Nasā’ī 443

The Prophet Muhammad ﷺ said:
“If anyone of you, when having sexual in*******se with his wife, says:
بِسْمِ اللَّهِ، اللَّهُمَّ جَنِّبْنَا الشَّيْطَانَ وَجَنِّبِ الشَّيْطَانَ مَا رَزَقْتَنَا
Bismillah, Allahumma jannibnash-Shaitana wa jannibish-Shaitana ma razaqtana
(“In the name of Allah. O Allah, keep Satan away from us and keep Satan away from what You provide for us.”)
then if Allah decrees that they should have a child, Satan will never harm him.”
Reference: Jamiʿ at-Tirmidhi 1092 — Sahih.

"Indeed, those who deny Our verses and are arrogant toward them - the gates of Heaven will not be opened for them, nor will they enter Paradise until a camel enters into the eye of a needle. And thus do We recompense the criminals."

📖 (Surah Al-A'raf, Verse 40).

O servant of Allah, beware of arrogance, for it is the veil that prevents a person from seeing the truth! Do not let your pride lead you to reject the signs of your Creator, as the heart that hardens against the truth finds no path to Paradise. Reflect on the vastness of Allah's mercy, but also fear a day when the doors of Heaven might be closed. Return to your Lord with humility, seek His forgiveness, and mend your ways before the soul reaches the throat and the opportunity for repentance is lost forever.
