Steps of spreading of Islam
The first step of spreading of Islam was preaching because of which many people
embraced Islam. But when non believers and idolaters of Makah started to tease
Muslims, Allah the Exalted ordered the Muslims to leave Makah means to migrate (hijrat)
and took refuge in Habshah. Then to reveal among the people that who is the
right and who is the evil Allah ordered Muslims to fight battles. In history the
battles fought with in the presence of Prophet PBUH are called ghazwaat. To
fight a battle or ghazwa is not only jihad but to respect & obey parents, to
acquire knowledge, to fight against evil desires etc are different types of
jihad.
Periods of preaching of Islam (tabligh)
There are 3 periods of preaching of Islam. At the age of 40 Allah revealed the
following verse on the Prophet PBUH
'Read! In the name of your Lord Who has created, He has created man from a clot,
Read! And your Lord is Most Generous, Who has taught by the pen, He has taught
man which he knew not.
Prophet PBUH got afraid of him and came back home. Then Allah revealed His
second verse of Quran through angel Gabriel AS
'O you, covered in your cloak, arise and warn, thy Lord magnify, thy raiment
purify, pollution shun ...'
During first period he did not preach Islam openly but confidentially. In the
second period he openly invited the people of Makah on mount of Safa and asked
if I asked you that a caravan beside this mount is being reaching you to attack
will you believe? They said why not? We will believe because you are the
truthful and the honest. Then he SAWW invited them to worship One True Allah but
except Hazrat Ali everybody refused. In the third period he openly announced
that worshiping idols is totally wrong & we should believe in the oneness of God
(Allah).
Types of migration or hijrat
There are three types of migration. The first was Hijrat e Habshah Awal when
Muslims left Makah and took refuge in Habshah whose king was Najashy to get rid
of the atrocity of unbelievers and idolaters of Makah. King Najashy gave the
Muslims to live at Habshah after having complete disquisition about the leader
(Prophet) of Muslims i.e. Hazrat Muhammad SAWW that he is the truthful, the
honest and the best in character. But when people of Makah realized that now
Muslims are in peace they spread a rumor that all people in Makah have accepted
Islam. Muslims returned back to Makah and saw that it was totally a wrong rumor
so they returned back to Habshah. This was Hijrat e Habshah Daum. This time the
number of men and women were greater than in Hijrat e Habshah Awal. The third is
Hirat e Medina when by the order of Allah Prophet SAWW migrated from Makah to
Medina as the idolaters of Makah had decided to act upon their 2nd plan that is
to kill the prophet SAWW which was given by Abu Jahal. The other two planning
were either to imprison the prophet SAWW or to exile him. During his SAWW
migration he stayed in Ghaar e Soor for three days with his companion Hazrat Abu
Bakr RA whose daughter Hazrat Zainab used to give them food at night time.
Stories of battle or ghazwaat
It must be kept in mind that when prophet SAWW migrated from Makah to medina
different types of tribes were living they include some Jews, idolaters, some
Muslims who were already living in medina (ansaar) and some Muslim refugees (mahajareen).Prophet
SAWW decided a charter or contract between all these tribes called Medina
Charter that they will not fight with each other but fight with those who ever
tries to attack medina and its people. But whenever a tribe broke the charter
Prophet SAWW also fought with it. Similarly when idolaters of Makah broke the
contract namely Sulah e hadabia Prophet SAWW fought with them and won. After
some years some women from Makah came to prophet SAWW as they had accepted Islam
and did not wanted to live with their family who were non Muslims and they
promised that they would not worship but Allah, they will not have illicit
relationships and will not kill their children.

the Prophet(S.A.W.). His father, who was an educated, respectable part of the
society, taught his son how to read and write. After his acceptance of Islam, he
received the title of Farooq, meaning one ‘who distinguishes between the right
and the wrong.’He was the son of son of Al-Kattab. Hazrat Umar is regarded as
one of the greatest political geniuses in history he also ordered the expulsion
of the Christian and Jewish communities of Najran and Khaybar allowing them to
reside in Syria or Iraq. When Basra was established during his period, he
started building some canals for conveying drinking water and for irrigation. He
is said to be blessed with a strong physique and the best hoseman and conqueror
of the world. He married a total of 9 women in his lifetime and had 14 children,
10 sons and 4 daughters. He was the 2nd caliph of Islam. He used to wear simple
dress and eat simple food .He and his family themselves obey all the rules which
were announced for common people .Before accepting Islam he was against the
oneness of God .His acceptance of Islam impacted the people of Makah greatly as
he was very strong and brave and proved a one of the best companion of the
Prophet SAWW .During the days of his caliphate Muslims conquered the two biggest
empires of that time one is roman empire and the other Persian empire. He gave
half of his money to prophet SAWW for the battle of Tabook.
Hazrat Usman RA
He was the 3rd caliph of Islam. He was from the "Umayyah" family of Quraish. His
father was Affan. Hadrat Uthman (R.A.) accepted Islam when Abu Bakr (R.A.)
preached to him. He spent most of his money for the progress of Islam .He was a

high price from the Jew and set the water of well free for everyone. During the
days of great famine he supplied the Muslims food stuff free of cost .He was
indeed good mannered and generous. He also spends his lot of money to strengthen
Muslims during ghazwa e tabook. Once Prophet SAWW said that if he had 40
daughters he would give all in the nikah of Hazrat Usman RA. During Hadrat
Uthman’s period Muslim naval force was developed and Muslims started naval
victories. The victory over the huge naval force of Byzantine Empire comprising
500 ships has been termed as the Grand Victory.After the capture of North
African territories by Muslims and gaining full control over Mediterranean, the
mighty power of Byzantine and Roman Empire had collapsed. He was called ghani

conquered that difficult fort .OHe was the father of Hazrar Hassan and Hazrat
Hussain and husband of Hazrat Fatima binte Muhammad SAWW. Once Prophet SAWW said
“one who loves Ali Allah will love him and he who has hates Ali Allah will hate
that person”. He stayed in the bed of Prophet SAWW to return back the deposits
of people the next day when Prophet SAWW was migrating to Medina although he was
well informed that the idolaters have planned to kill the Prophet SAWW. He was
killed by Abdurrahman bin Muljim. He wrote a very beneficial book called Nahjul
Balagha which is composed of his sermons. He killed a very stunning and proud
unbeliever in just one time. Once his loving servant stole a thing as a
punishment he cut down his hand. When the servant met Hazrat Suleman Farse RA he
told him that Hazrat Ali RA has saved me from the anguish of here after. Hazrat
Ali RA called him and told him to lay down his arm along with his hand that has
been cut down under this handkerchief. When the servant put out his arm he found
his hand reattached with his self. As Hazrat Ali RA was not a prophet that why
such characteristics are not named as Mojzaat but as Karamat. Once a man came
and told him that my son has punched me. When the son came he told the caliph
that I from my childhood have sawn my parents fighting with each other and doing
other evil doings. Then Hazrat Ali RA replied if a cow has teased the other cow
so why you have came to me? Hazrat Ali had a great knowledge of mathematics.
Thus he was a great legendary personality of Islam.

Story of the valley of Shaib Abi Talib
As a great number of people were accepting Islam and left worshiping idols the
people of Makah who were non Muslims decided to kill Prophet SAWW .to save his
life his uncle Hazrat Abi Talib left him, his wife Hazrat Khudija and his
companions in a valley of sahib abi talib. it was decided by the people of Makah
that Muslims will not be allow to marry in the valley nor they can have any
trade with outside people .and they were not allowed to meet any person outside
the valley .they remained there for 3 years by eating just leaves of plants. But
according to the revelation of Allah Prophet SAWW told the people that the
contract paper on which these conditions were written is eaten by white ants
except those parts of paper where Allah was written. he also asked them that if
his words came true they should set Muslims free from the valley. the words of
Prophet SAWW proved true and they left Prophet SAWW and his companions.
Story of Karbala
The Battle of Karbala took place on 10 Muharam i.e. (10 Oct, 680) in Karbala.
First group was a small group of relatives and companions of Mohammad’s (SAWW)
grandson Hazrat Husain (R.A). Second group was yazid’s group of large military
force and Umayyad Caliph. 10 day period is held every year in muharram by sunni
and shia, and called Ashura.If we see the political background of battle of
Karbala, we can see it is started from the assassination of Hazrat Usman (R.A)
and rebels occupied city of Madina. Then Hazrat Ali ibn Abu Talib was elected as
the fourth Caliph.
Mawiya 1 died on Rajab 22, 60 AH (680 CE). In violation of Islamic tradition and
his own written agreement with Hazrat Hassan (R.A) Muawiya 1 appointed his son
yazid as his successor. Husain departed Medina on Rajab 28, 60 AH (680 CE), two
days after Walid’s attempt to force him to submit to Yazid I’s rule. He stayed
in Mecca from the beginnings of the Sha’ban and all of Ramadan, Shawl, as well
as Dhu al- Qidah .It is mainly during his stay in Mecca that he received many
letters from Kufa assuring him their support and asking him to come over there
and guide them. He answered their calls and sent Muslim ibn Aqeel, his cousin,
to Kufa as his representative in an attempt to consider the exact situation and
public opinion.Husain and his followers are two days away from Kufa and yazid
intercepted them with his 1000 men army. Army led by hurr ibn riahy. On 10
muharma we also called it Ashura, Husain completed his morning prayers. On the
other hand Husain companions were 32 horsemen and 40 infantrymen. Husain rode
his horse Zuljinah. Hazrat Abaas went to the river to get water for Hussain's 4
year old daughter Sakina. He filled the water bag. On returning back the rivals
On his way back, he was struck from behind, and one of his arms was amputated.
Then, he was struck from behind again, amputating his other arm. Abbas was now
carrying the water-bag in his mouth. The army of Yazid Ibn Mawiya started
shooting arrows at him. One arrow hit the bag and water poured out of it. At
that moment, Abbas lost all hope and got martyr. Husain fought with the army
till when a person from yazid’s army hit him with arrow and hit his sword on
imam Husain head. Then shimr ibn dhilijawshan dismounted his horse and cut
Hazrat Husain’s throat with his sword.
Umar ibn saad sent His head to ibn ziyad and ordered him to send to Kufa. Ibn
saad remained in Karbala till the next noon. People from Banu Asad tribe buried
Hazrat Hussain and his companions. Sham e ghareebaan is the night of 9th
muharram in which Hazrat Husain RA allowed his companions(72 Muslims belonging
to the tribe of Quraish ) to leave him if they are afraid of dying by taking
advantage of the darkness of night .but nobody had left him. the governor of
sham yazid was a cruel ruler who used drink wine and had illicit sexes with
women .moreover he used to kill people and wanted to add some principles in the
Islamic laws which were against the teachings of Holy Quran and Prophet SAWW.
Except ladies from the family of Holy Prophet SAWW and Hazrat Zainulaabadeen the
son of Hazrat Hussain every one including Hazrat Hussain and his companions got
martyr because they were 72 in number where as the enemies were in thousands in
number. But hazrat hussain protected Islam from such a cruel ruler . These
ladies and hazrat zainulaabadeen spread the teachings of Islam to other people
of the world.
Major signs before the Day of Judgment
The biggest sign before the day of judgment is that people will left
differentiating between evil and good deeds .they will live as they please
without any fear and love for Allah .According to a Hadith the dooms day will
not come until Arabs will be rule by a man whose name will be similar to the
name of prophet SAWW means –Imam Mahdi. another sign is that the lunar and solar
both ellipses will occur in the month of Ramazan .before the arrival of imam at
the place of mina in the month of zhul kiddahmany tribes will fight with each
other and pilgrims will be enforced to obey people. At river Euphrate a mountain
of gold will appear. To get gold out of 100 every 90 men will killed and other
will be injured badly. Imam and his companions will first fight with the tribe
of kalbah and will win. Then Muslims will fight against Christians. Both will
fight until evening and will returned back to their respective camps. The same
situation will run for 3 days. On 4th day a very severe war will be fought and
even the flying birds will be killed. Muslims will win in this battle too. A man
will come and will tell the 100 Muslim men that dajjal has been appeared.10 or
40 Muslim horse men will be sent who will be the best horsemen of the world.
Then a “Great War” will take place. The cause of the war will be Christian
however Muslims will fight along with Christians against a third group. Muslims
and Christian will win however Christian will say to Muslims that they won
because of the blessing of their cross (the symbol of Christianity). Now Muslims
will fight with Christians without any weapons and will just say THERE IS NO GOD
BUT ALLAH AND ALLAH IS THE GRAETEST for three times and will win. When Muslims
were collecting booty dajjal will arrive. Between the Great War and the conquest
of istanbol by Muslims there will be 6 years and dajjal will come at 7th year.
Imam will attain a high level and position in the world .because of his arrival
peace and happiness will prevail everywhere. He will fight with dajjal in the
8th year. And will die on 9th year .the literal meaning of dajjal is anti-Christ
and general meaning is one eyed evil. The general meaning of Christianity is a
religion in which people follow bible whereas the literal meaning if
Christianity is spiritual purification. so dajjal is a man or system against
spiritual purification .dajjal will have a mountain of bread but he will give it
to only those who will follow him leaving the principles of life given by
Allah.dajjal will try to enter holy places like Makah, Medina, masjid e aqsa and
masjid e toor but will fail because the angels of Allah will defend these places
.the hypocrites will be forced to get out of medina. Earth quake will take place
in medina for thrice. Imam had already prepared an army in medina .along with
this army Prophet Eesa will go and will finish Dajjal. It must be kept in mind
that some companions of dajjal are being interchanging the signs of prophet eesa
and dajjal. The companions of dajjal are preparing our world for him. These
companions include Jews, liberal women and some hypocrites .everybody will start
believing on the religion Islam. prophet will kill every pig .there will be
worldly and spiritual happiness .yajooj and majooj will came out from the wall
built by Alexander the great but they will die by the prayer of prophet as they
will eat everything and put the world into trouble .then after many years
Muslims will again left the right path. then a severe land sliding will take
place in east ,west ,gulf and in peninsula .then a very severe smoke will spread
all over the world for 40 days. and then sun will raise from west and after this
the doors of forgiveness will be close forever. then an animal will arrive who
will identify who is evil and who is the believer .then a fire will came who
will arrange people in three ways one will be those who had fear of Allah and
wanted paradise .second will be those whom fire will made to ride 2 or 3 or 10
per camel. Third will be those with whom the fire will remain every time in day
, night and evening.

Hajj or Pilgrimage
It is the duty of every Muslim to perform pilgrimage of the house of Allah in
Makkah if he has power and potentiality .pilgrimage is performed in the month of
zhul hijjah .for this Muslims wear special sort of dress called ahraam .there
are three types of ahraam one is qiraan in which hajj and umra both must be
performed, second is tamatu in which after performing hajj we can perform umra
after some break and third is ifraad in which only hajj is to be perform. there
are four types of tawaaf .tawaaf e qadoom,tawaaf e ifaada,tawaaf e wida and
tawaaf e tataw.after performing one tawaaf we must drink zam zam ( holy and
special water).then we have to take 7 walks between safa and marwa . 8th zhul
hijjah is spent in mina. 9th zhul hijjah we go to arfaat and offer combine
prayer of zuhar and asar. then we go to muzdalfa and offer combine prayer of
maghrib and isha there .on 10th zhul hijjah we go to Makah and perform tawaaf e
qadoom and then go to mina where we cut our hair and sacrifice animal. now we
can wear our casual dress .then again we go to Makah and perform tawaaf e ifaada
and after this we can approach our wife/husband sexually .there are 3 satan (shataan)
known as jumraat on whom we have to throw 72 pebbles .on 10th we have to throw 7
pebbles .on 11th we have to throw 21 pebbles. on 12th we have to throw 21
pebbles. on 13th we have to throw 12 pebbles. On 12th and 13th we stay at mina
and on 13th we go to Makah and perform tawaaf e wida. And thus on13th our hajj
is completed.
The Great Creator-Allah the Exalted
Allah has created all living and non living objects .He is alive .He is the
owner of this universe .He is the owner, creator, preserver of this earth and
all the seven skies and the things between them. He is the most upgrade in
conduct. He does not eat nor sleep. He has neither father nor children. He is
the supreme. Allah , Rab , Khuda and God are His personal names. He is not a
material object instead He is the Energy and Light (noor) of this universe.
Everything in the universe obeys his laws. He is Almighty, All-powerful and Ever
Existing. he is present everywhere. We can’t see Him nor talk to Him but we can
get close to Him by meditation, prayer, and through spirituality and by
performing good deeds .His love for us is more than 70 times greater than the
love of a mother for her child. Mutaqeen (those who have his fear) love Him and
obeys his laws according to Islam -His chosen religion. According to QuranAllah
is the Light of the heavens and the earth. The similitude of His Light is as a
niche wherein is a lamp. Thelamp is in a chandelier (of glass). The chandelier
is as it were a star glittering like a pearl; it is lighted from theblessed
olive tree which is neither of east nor of west, it is near that its oil may
flare up even though the firetouches it not. The Light is upon the Light. Allah
guides to His Light whomsoever He will and Allah narratesexamples for the
people. And Allah knows all things.
Solutions of difficulties faced by Muslims now a days
We are facing different problems because of our own selves .we should obey the
laws and principals of our great and perfect religion Islam. we should love our
family and friends .we should care about the poor and the downtrodden .we should
not just think for our own selves .we should good grades .we must focusing on
this world less as compare to here after ..although we are facing different
sorts of problems but we should not lose willpower .we must remain relax and
calm .we should work harder to reach such a high and virtuous position that the
people of other nations (religion) start desiring to become Muslim to gain such
respect ,education ,pleasing manners ,latest technology ,brilliant discoveries,
best culture and as devotee to religion as Muslims .but we are just become
consuming nation instead of become a producing nation .we used to waste our all
time in watching TV ,using face book ,twitter and you tube etc on internet . We
should use latest things but according to our needs and in limits we are just
studying the books of others .we are not trying to give our thoughts and
discoveries and inventions .we should try to fulfill our duty that “The quest
for knowledge is the duty of every Muslim (man and woman)” (Hadith).today
parents should pay attention on their children to make them good Muslim as well
as good citizens & children should take care for their parents .we should not
forget that a Muslim is aBrother of every other Muslim . Our religion is only
Islam .we does not belong to a “global village” nor belong to a “global
religion” but we all Muslims belong to Millet e Islamia. We have our own
identity. But we not adopt sins such as stealing, backbiting, insulting other
people, wasting money for fashion etc. We should admit thanks to Allah and those
who help us .we must have tolerance .all these are the solutions of today’s
difficulties. We should try to lower our needs and try to increase job
opportunities. All Muslim rulers should try to provide job , health ,education
,and food to their people. We should increase our defense industries, electronic
industries as well as other important industries. We should increase our exports
.we should have highly equipped machinery. we should belief on every Prophet and
love and obey every Prophet equally .all Muslim states should get united to have
a upgrade position to make Islamic laws rule all over the world which promote
equality ,justice and peace .we have not created to obey evils but to guide them
how to have a fruitful life here and here after .every person who belief on
Allah , all prophets ,all holy books ,angels ,on the day of judgment and do good
deeds is a Muslim .we should adopt purity ,sincerity, spirituality ,fear and
love for God ,good deeds and content in good and bad circumstances .We should
try to fulfill the Rights of Allah and the Rights of People and must perform all
Arkaan -e-Islam .this is the best way of ibadat (adoration).because the word
ibadat is derived from word abad which means slave .so slavery of Allah or
submission to the will of Allah or obedience of His laws is adoration.

Last address of Holy Prophet SAWW or Khudba hajjatul Wida
The Holy Prophet (Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam)
The Holy Prophet (Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam) said, “O people, listen to my
words carefully.
“O people, just as you regard this month, this day this city as sacred, so
regard the life and property of every Muslim as a sacred trust. Remember that
you will appear before Allah and answer for your actions.
“Return the things kept with you as a trust (Amanah) to their rightful owners.
All dues of interest shall stand cancelled and you will have only your capital
back, Allah has forbidden interest, and I cancel the debts of interest payable
to my uncle, Abbas ibn Abdul Muttalib.
“O People, your wives have a certain right over you and you have a certain right
over them. Treat them well and be kind to them., for they are your partners and
committed helpers.
“Beware of Shaytaan, he is desperate to direct you away from the worship of
Allah, so beware of him in the matters of religion.
“O People, Listen carefully, all believers are brothers. You are not allowed to
take the things belonging to another Muslim unless he gives it to you willingly.
“O People, none is higher than another unless he is higher in the obedience to
Allah. No Arab is superior to a non-Arab except in piety.
“O People, reflect on my words. I leave behind two things, the Holy Quraan and
my Example, and if you follow these two you will not go astray.
“Listen to me carefully! Worship Allah and offer Salaah, observe Saum (fasting)
in the month of Ramadaan and pay Zakaah.
“O People be mindful of those who work under you. Feed and clothe them as you
feed and cloth yourself.
“O People, no prophet or messenger will come after me and no new faith will
emerge.
“All those who listen to me will pass on my words to others, and those to others
again.
“Have I conveyed the Message of Allah to you, O! People?”
The Sahaba answered in one voice, “Yes, you have. Allah is the Witness.”
The Holy Prophet (Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam) then said, “O! Allah, You are my
Witness.”
As the Holy Prophet (Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam) finished his sermon, Allah
Almighty revealed the following last verse of the Holy Quraan.
“Today, I have perfected your religion for you, completed my favour upon you and
have chosen Islam as the way of your life.” (Quraan - Al Maidah -Ch 5 Verse 3)
The Holy Prophet (Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam) immediately recited this verse to
all those present. After completing the other rituals of Hajj he returned to
Madinah.
Stories of Prophets
We should believe on every prophet as Prophet SAWW himself told us that “All
prophets had built a good building of Islam just a last brick had left and I am
that brick”.
Prophet Adam AS
When Allah told angels that He will create man on Earth they asked why you will
create a creature that will spread bloodshed whereas we admit your praise. Allah
told them that he knows what they don’t know. When Prophet Adam was created
Allah told him the names of everything and asked angels to tell their names
.angels replied that they don’t know. Now Allah asked prophet to tell them the
names then Allah ordered angels to pay sajda (bow their heads and touch the
earth) to Prophet. Every angel obeyed except iblees as he said that I am better
than a man I am made of fire whereas he is made of earth .Allah ordered iblees
to go out of the paradise forever. iblees became Satan. He said to Allah that he
will motivate every man to choose wrong path except those who will be your true
believers. Prophet had everything. Still he used to remain serious. Allah
created hawa from prophet’s body as prophet’s wife. Allah allowed them to eat
and drink whatever they want but forbade going near to a certain tree but satan
told a lie to hawa that if they eat the fruit of that tree they will get a
everlasting life. Hawa lured Prophet to eat that fruit. After eating that fruit
their clothes removed. They both were also turned out from paradise. Prophet
begged Allah for forgiveness many years. At last Allah granted his forgiveness.
Prophet was blessed with many children. at that time it was allow for sister and
brother to marry eachother. The girl that born at night used to married with the
boy of daytime, and the girl that born at daytime used to marry with the boy
that born at night. However the son of Prophet namely kabeel killed his brother
habeel as he wanted to marry the wife of habeel. Then Allah blessed Prophet with
shees who was also a Prophet
Prophet Shees AS
He was very beautiful and abstinent. He spent most of his time in adoration and
meditation. One day his brothers decided that they will not give grain to Shees
as he did not work with us. But when he told them that Allah has made him
Prophet they at once believed on him. noosh was his son. Kaltan was his
grandson. The son of kaltan was mahlil. When mahlil died his sons became sad but
Satan came and told them to make his statue to overcome their sadness. Slowly
and steadily people started to worship idols.
Prophet Idrees AS
He spent most of his time in adoration. One day he asked angel izraeel to
seizure his soul so that when he regain his life he will focus more on
adoration. After this he asked angel to show him hell so that by his fear he can
focus more on adoration. After this he asked angel to show him paradise so that
by seeing him he will become happy and will concentrate more on adoration. After
this Allah sent prophet on 6th sky where he set to adoration
Prophet Nooh AS
He was sent to give his nation a counsel that instead of idols they should
worship One Allah. But except few persons no one believes on him including his
wife and one son. Allah asked Prophet to ride on a ship with his companions.
Then Allah his storm of wind and rain on all disbelievers and they all died
except believers
Prophet Hood AS
His nation was very proud. They were 200 to 400 yard high. On 70 people from 70
tribes believed on him. Due to their sins famine took place in the state.
Although they were non believers still their king went to Makah for praying for
rain. Allah showed him 3 sorts of clouds. He selected the black one. Allah sent
storm of wind on them. But they hid themselves in a place where mountains were
situated at 3 sides. Now the black cloud reached in the state and instead of
giving rain it gave air and sound and all non believers died. One day Satan came
to the children of Prophet and asked him that who is you god they said Allah he
asked them to as they cannot see Allah so they should make a statue who will be
their witness of adoration. Slowly and steadily people became idolaters.
Prophet Ibrahim AS
There was a king namrood whom an astrologer told that a boy will born from whom
your royalty will decline. Namrood ordered his people to kill their baby boys.
But mother of Prophet Ibrahim did not kill him instead she left him in a cave.
Allah gave prophet food by prophet’s fingers like milk and honey. One day
prophet asked his mother who is my god? She replied “I”. he asked who is your
god? Se said your father Azar. He asked who his god is. She said “king namrood”
he asked who the god of king is? She said “stars”. He asked who the god of stars
is. Now mother had no answer and she forbade him to ask such questions. One day
prophet saw stars he thought they are my god. Then they disappeared. He said I
don’t like disappearing things. Then he saw moon it also disappeared. At daytime
he saw sun he thought it is bigger it must be my god but it also disappeared.
Now he realized that my god (Allah) is the greatest and creator of all 7 skies
and the Earth. Then he started preaching the oneness of God to people. Some
people put believe on him. Now namrood sent him into fire but by the will of
Allah fire became cold. Now namrood ordered prophet and his followers to leave
the state. While migrating prophet married with a daughter of a king of another
state. She was Sara. By the belly of sara prophet blessed with Prophet ishaq. By
the belly of hajrah – a slave girl Prophet blessed with Prophet Ismail. Prophet
left prophet ismail and hajrah in Makah. After many years prophet and his son
prophet ismail built kabah. By the will of Allah prophet slaughtered 4 types of
bird s and mixed their body parts and left these at different places and when he
called their names they came back. And so Allah showed him how he will make us
alive again after the death to give account of our deeds and to get everlasting
home either hell or paradise. Namrood told prophet that he has prepared a large
army to fight with Allah. Allah sent mosquitoes on his army and namrood and his
army died. Prophet ismail had 12 sons. Prophet ishaq had 2 sons prophet ees and
prophet yaqoob.
Prophet Saleh AS
He was sent to the nation of samood. He asked them to worship one Allah. But
they asked him that they will believe him if his god creates such and such a she
camel. According to their conditions a large she camel born from a stone who at
once gave birth to a child. But they refused to become muslim and said that it
was not a miracle but magic. Then one day two men killed the she-camel on the
behalf of their lovers who were rich and their cattle were becoming lean thin
because they afraid from the she-camel and refused to drink water from the
nearby river. Allah sent anguish on them.
Prophet Loot AS
He used to forbid his nation from homosexuality but they refused and so Allah
sent anguish on them.
Prophet Yousuf AS
He was the son of prophet yaqoob and according to Quran he is the most handsome
man of the world. As he was loved more by his father than his step brother they
started to jealous with him and one day threw him into a well. A caravan took
him from the well and sold him to a minister Aziz. The wife of aziz,zulakha
started loving him and one day tried him to incline him towards herself but he
refused. Zulakha told that prophet had tried to misuse her. King sent him to
prison. One day a man told to king that prophet has ability to give the meaning
of dreams and he will surely help you. Prophet came and told the meaning of the
dream of the prophet. The king greatly pleased with him and entrusted him with
the important tasks of the state. One day his brothers came to the court of
king. Prophet realized that they were his brothers. He called his full- brother
and told him the whole story and gave his shirt also. When prophet’s brothers
reached their home his full brother gave shirt to father who when touched the
shirt with his eyes his sight restored at once. They realized that this man is
surely our brother. All brothers and father went to meet him and brothers begged
his pardon too. Prophet forgave his brothers’ mistake.
Prophet Ayub AS
He was the son of Prophet Ees. He spent most of his time in adoration and
admitting thanks to Allah. One day Satan said that he used to do all this
because he is fairly well off. Allah knew that this was not the reason but to
prove his loyalty he took away his cattle, sons and health. But he remained
committed to his good deeds. Then Allah returned him back all the things that he
had given him before.
Prophet Shoaib AS
His nation was cruel. They used to sell things at high price and gave short
measures. Moreover they did not used to tell people defects present in their
goods. Prophet forbade them many times but they refused. Allah sent anguish on
them and they all died.
Prophet Musa AS
An astrologer told king firoon that a boy will born in the tribe of bani israeel
from whom your royalty while decline. Firoon ordered bani israeel to kill their
baby boys but the mother of prophet Musa put him into a basket and left the
basket on the river. The wife of firoon, Aasia when saw a child in the basket
she immediately took him as she had no child of her own. She reared him in her
palace. When prophet grew up he saw a fire. When he got closed to it Allah told
him that it is Me your lord and so there he got apostleship. Now he started to
preach the oneness of God. firoon sent him into fire. But by the will of Allah
it became cold for the prophet. Now firoon called magicians to his palace who
made snakes artificially by their magic. But when Prophet threw his stick (asaa)
it became a large serpent who ate all the snakes. Now magicians believed on the
apostleship of prophet but firoon kill many magicians and persecuted others
badly. Prophet asked firoon to allow them to go with him as he persecute them
but firoon did not agreed. But by the will of Allah prophet asked bani israeel
to come with him. the caravan of firoon chased them. By the will of Allah a
river divided into 2 halves giving a safe path for Prophet and bani israeel but
when firoon and his caravan stepped into the path the river rejoined once again
and so firoon and his caravan died. Allah sent man wa salwa daily as food for
bani israeel but they said that they can’t survive with one sort of food instead
they want things grow from earth. Now Allah ordered them to enter another city
to take things which they want but before entering bow your heads to touch earth
and say Anzarna however they changed the words. They were extremely mischievous.
One day they said that they want to see Allah so that they become believers.
Allah sent thunder blot on them and the mountain of toor burnt and they all
died. Allah forgave them once again and made them alive once again. people said
that Prophet Musa is being suffering from a disease that’s why he covered his
body carefully as this was not the reason therefore one day when he was taking
bath the stone on which he had left his clothes ran down and reached at the
place where some men were sitting they saw that his body is completely pure and
clean. Thus Allah discharged his Prophet from the lie of people. To control bani
israeel prophet Musa prayed for his brother Haroon and so he also became
Prophet. When Prophet musa went outside the city for 40 day they made a calf as
their lord and started worshipping it. thus bani israeel used to do different
sorts of sins. They killed many Prophets. Allah also used to sent different
sorts of anguish on them but they remained committed to doing sins. As they like
Prophet Haroon more than Prophet Musa so when Prophet Haroon died they said that
Prophet Musa had killed him but Allah made Prophet Haroon alive once again who
told people that my brothrer is not my murderer of myself. Allah revealed holy
book Torat on prophet Musa.
Prophet Youshey AS
He was sent to bani israeel to guide them. Allah ordered Prophet to take bani
israeel with himself for the city of balka. The king of balka gathered his army
against Prophet. The king sent beautiful ladies in the army of Prophet however
the army of prophet did not care about the ladies and remain committed to the
right path. They fought bravely and got victory.prophet got victory from 21 more
kings of different areas and remained committed to preaching the laws and orders
of holy book Torat. It must be kept in mind that except Quran all holy books of
Allah has been changed by people so we should recite, understand and act upon
Holy Quran.
Prophet Hazkeel AS
E had ability to make death people alive. He is also known as Dhul Kfal. When he
ordered bani israeel to fight a crusade in the path of Allah they refused. Allah
sent anguish on them and they all died. Prophet prayed to Allah to make them
alive once again. But even after getting a second chance they still refused to
become believers and so Prophet migrated from there.
Prophet Ilyaas AS
He was also sent to bani israeel to forbade them from worshipping idol. The king
of that time believed on him but soon he also turned away from the right path.
Famine broke into their state because of their sins but they requested Prophet
that they will become believers if they get rid of famine but even after getting
rid of anguish they refused to believe. Prophet left him and made Al Yasa his
successor. Soon Allah made alyasa his Prophet also
Prophet Khantalah
He was also sent to bani israeel to forbid them from worshipping idols. But they
did not believe on him. Due to anguish many people died. Those who left still
refuse to become Muslim. Allah took away all his blessings from them. Shamoail
also preached the message of divinity to people. At that time there was a king
Jaloot who used to persecute bani israeel. Allah made a poor man Taloot as the
king of Bani israeel who was brave, powerful and full of knowledge to fight
against jaloot. There was Prophet Daud in the army of taloot who only threw 3
stones on the army of jaloot that they all died by the will of Allah. Taloot
greatly pleased with Prophet daud and married him with his daughter and
entrusted him with half kingdom ship. As people started to love Prophet more
than taloot so tallot became angry and tried to kill Prophet many times but
failed. At last he gave full royalty to Prophet.
Prophet Daud AS
He was the descendant of Prophet Yaqoob. He was a king and sent to guide bani
israeel. He was very strong and used to help the needy. He wanted to marry
batshah and so he sent her husband in a severe war where he got martyr and so
Prophet got married with her. Allah sent his 2 angels in the face of men. One of
them said to Prophet that my companion has 99 goats and he wanted to get my one
also. Prophet forbade the companion to do so. The companion replied that Prophet
you had already 99 wives then why you married Batshah by sending her husband in
a war. the 2 men disappeared. Prophet understood that they were angels who
taught me a lesson. He then bowed his head on earth. Allah forgave him after 40
days. One day a farmer came to prophet and told him that the goats of
shepherdhad destroyed his fields. Prophet ordered the shepherd to give his goats
to the farmer forever but his son Prophet Sulman said that the farmer will give
goats back to the shepherd after his fields restored up to this time he allowed
him to use them and take their milk also. One day an old lady told Prophet daud
that she worked hard and in return she is awarded with flour which daily air
dispersed. Prophet called the air which came to him in the face of a man and
told him that it did all this by the Will of Allah and had stuck all the flour
with the hole of the ship otherwise ship may sink into the sea. When ship
reached the harbor prophet distributed the half of goods to the lady and the
other half to poors in the name of Allah. Acow used to ask an old lady and his
son to slaughter itself. One day the son slaughtered it. When the owner of the
cow came to know about the old lady and his son he went to the prophet daud and
told him the whole story. Allah revealed to Prophet that the owner of the cow
had killed the husband of the old lady. When prophet asked the owner did he kill
her husband he replied “no” but his body parts replied “yes, prophet is saying
the truth”. Then prophet told bani israeel that in the same manner our body
parts will give the account of our deeds on dooms day. Allah revealed his holy
book “Zaboor” on him.
Prophet Suleman AS
He was a king of men and demons and son of Prophet Daud and batsha. He had
ability to understand the conservations of any creature. He had many palaces of
gold and diamond. One day he asked Allah that today I will give lunch to all
creatures. For this he prepared a lot of meals. A big fish came and ate all food
in one bite and told him that it used to eat such 3 bites daily and Allah
provided it. He wept and said that really Allah is the lord and preserver of
all. One day the chief of aunts told prophet that his royalty is better than the
royalty of prophet as in the royalty of prophet throne lifts him and his other
people and demons on throne and then air lifts the throne whereas in my royalty
there are no such difficulties. He also told the meaning of prophet’s name that
“not to be in love with the world, death’s day is near”. Prophet had 300 wives
as at that time it was allowed to marry with more than 4 wives but not
now-a-days. He sent a letter to bilqees the queen of the city of saba to accept
Islam and else ready for a crusade. She did not reply to the letter instead she
sent gifts to him. Prophet returned the gifts back to her. She then sent her
servants who asked him the most 3 difficult questions of the world. He replied
them easily. She understood that he is really a prophet that’s why he answered
that question and at once became muslim by accepting islam. Soon prophet married
with her.one day prophet conquered a state of a non Muslim king and killed him.
He married the daughter of that king also and allowed her to make a statue of
her father to overcome her sorrow but she started worshipping that statue and
became an idolater. One day a demon came to a slave-girl in the face of prophet
and took his ring. Now no one allowed real prophet suleman to enter the palace
as everyone thought demon as prophet suleman except one minister of prophet. Now
prophet stated living with a fisherman and married her daughter. One day
minister asked someone to recite Torat. By hearing the words of Allah the demon
got frightened and left the palace and threw the ring into the river. A fish ate
the ring. One day prophet slaughtered that fish and saw his ring. After wearing
his ring he ordered to arrest the demon and killed her idolater wife. Now
prophet ordered demons to built bait ul mukadas and died soon.
Prophet Ozair AS
Once a cruel king got superiority over bani israeel and destroyed bait-ul-mukaddas.
He killed people. Prophet ozair asked Allah that now how this city will
recolonise? Allah seized his soul and after 100 years made him alive once again.
He got happy to see the city recolonised and bowed his head on earth.
Prophet Zakaria AS
He was the descendant of Prophet Daud. He blessed with prophet yahya at a very
old age. Prophet yahya used to remain serious even when he was a child and
afraid of hell. He sometimes wept also. Prophet zakaria was killed by bani
israeel near a tree as they dislike the right path towards which prophet called
them. One day when a lady decided to marry her daughter with her second husband
prophet yahya forbade her to do so as it was wrong but they killed him too.
Allah sent anguish on that lady and on her 2nd husband.
Prophet Jarjees AS
When prophet asked an idolater king to accept Islam he refused and sent him into
fire but by the will of God Allah made the fire cooled for him. In order to kill
him the king called the magicians but they failed too. One day a cow of an old
lady deceased. Prophet threw his stick on it and it became alive once again.
4000 people believed on him. King asked him if your God is true than grow 4
trees from my chair but after the trees had grown the king said that it was a
magic only. The wife of the king was also a believer. One day Allah sent anguish
on them all people died and prophet got martyr
Prophet Shamoon AS
He was very brave and used to fight with 6000 soldiers of a non believer king
alone and got victory every year. The servants of king told the wife of prophet
that the king will marry her if she tied her husband with something. She tried
many times but failed. One day she tied his hair with rope. Now the servants
came and tore him into pieces. An angel came and by the will of Allah joined all
his body parts. Prophet went and threw the fort of non believers into the river
and forgave his wife by the will of Allah.
Prophet Younus AS
He used to forbade his nation from worshipping idol but they did not believed
him. One day he left his people without the permission of Allah. Now by the will
of Allah his ship sank into the river and he got eaten by a whail. When people
saw change in the color of clouds they got from the anguish of Allah and stopped
worshipping idol and became muslims. After some passage of time Allah forgave
the prophet and sat him free from the stomach of the whail. Prophet got happy to
see that everybody had become muslim.
Prophet Eesa AS
He was born from the belly of Maryam AS without father. He was abled to talk
while he was an infant. He had a great knowledge of holy book Torat. Allah
revealed holy book Injeel on him. He was sent to bani israeel to guide them but
they did not believe him. He went to live with washer men (hawari) who put their
belief on the hands of prophet. He then went to fisher men who asked for
miracles even after watching miracles they refuse to believe on his apostleship.
Prophet had many miracles. He could made a death person alive. He could give
sightedness to a blind. He used to tell people whatever they had eaten or stored
at homes. There was a cruel king who believed on his apostleship after seeing
miracles and demanded to prophet to ask Allah to send food for us from the sky.
At initial time it was allowed for all to eat from the food which Allah revealed
from the sky on them. Then Allah ordered that only poor are allow to eat from
that. Upon this they all again became non believers. Allah sent anguish on them.
Other non believers turned prophet and his mother maryum AS out of bait ul
mukaddas. They took shelter in the house of a man who one day became very
conscious. When prophet asked the reason he said that our king used to eat lunch
at the homes of his people. Today is my turn and I had nothing to present.
Prophet prayed for him and Allah sent food for the king. When king had eaten the
food he asked the man from where the food had came from as it was delicious and
change from every time. The man replied that it came from our lord by the prayer
of this gentle man (prophet). King requested prophet to pray for him that his
son may alive once again. Prophet used to help different people of his time. One
day non believers decided to hang him but Allah sent his twin person to hang and
lift him up in the sky. He will come back to earth to kill dajal or to finish
dajjalic system.

How to Perform Salah
Having cleansed yourself by Wudu, you may proceed to perform Salah. Wudu is a
ritual cleansing. Before you begin your Salah, however, you must make sure that
you have a clean body, a clean place to pray, and that you are wearing clothing
free of impurities. The minimum clothing required during Salah is:
A. For males: Any clothing that covers from the naval to the knees. It is
preferable to cover the shoulders.
B. For females: Any clothing that covers all of the body (including the head)
except the face, hands, and according to Imam Abu-Hanifah the toes and a portion
of the front of the feet.
The way to offer Salah is:
1. Stand upright facing the direction of Al-Ka'bah. This position is called
Qiyaam and the direction is called Qiblah in Arabic. The Qiblah in North America
is towards the east with a slight angle towards the north.
2. Make Niyyah (intention) in your heart for the prayer you want to pray.
3. Raise your hands to your ears and say:"Allahu Akbar.” This means: (Allah is
the Greatest). This is called Takbiratul Ihram
4. Now place your right hand on top of your left hand on the chest and look
downward to the place where your forehead will touch the ground in theSujood
(prostration) and recite silently:
"Subhanaka allahumma wa bi hamdika wa tabara kasmuka wa ta'ala jadduka wa la
ilaha ghairuka."
سبحانك اللهم و بحمدك، وتبارك اسمك، و تعالى جدك، ولا إله غيرك
This means: “O Allah, how perfect You are and praise be to You. Blessed is Your
name, and exalted is Your majesty. There is no god but You.” [Only recite this
supplication, Subhanaka, at the beginning of the firstRak'ah]
Then recite silently: "A'udhu billahi minash shaitanir rajim."
أعوذ بالله من الشيطان الرجيم
This is called Ta'awwudh, and it means: “I seek shelter in Allah from the
rejected Satan.”
بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم
Then recite: "Bismillahir rahmanir rahim."
This is called Tasmiyah, and it means: “In the name of Allah, the most Gracious,
the most Merciful.”
5. After this, recite Suratul Fatihah (the opening chapter) of the Noble Qur'an:
"Al hamdu lil lahi rabbil 'alamin. Arrahmanir rahim. Maliki yawmiddin. Iyyaka
na'budu wa iyyaka nasta'in. Ihdinas siratal mustaqim. Siratal ladhina
an'amta'alaihim, ghairil maghdubi'alaihim wa lad dhallin. (Amin)"
<< الحمد لله رب العالمين، الرحمن الرحيم، مالك يوم الدين، إياك نعبد
< وإياك نستعين، اهدنا الصراط المستقيم، صراط الذين أنعمت عليهم غير المغضوب عليهم
ولأ الضا لين >
This means:
"All praises and thanks be to Allah, the Lord of the worlds, the most Gracious,
the most Merciful; Master of the Day of Judgment. You alone we worship, from You
alone we seek help. Guide us along the straight path - the path of those whom
You favored, not of those who earned Your anger or went astray.”
You must recite Surat Al-Fatihah in each unit (Rak’ah) of the prayer, if you
pray alone. However, if praying behind an Imam and he recites loudly, then it is
not necessary for you to recite it.
6. Now recite any other passage from the Noble Qur'an.
For example: "Bismillahir rahmanir rahim
Qul hu wal lahu ahad, allahus samad, lam yalid wa lam yulad, wa lam ya kul lahu
kufuwan ahad."
< بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم >
< قل هوا لله أحد،الله الصمد، لم يلد و لم يولد، و لم يكن له كفوا أحد >
This means:
“In the name of Allah, the most Gracious, the most Merciful. Say, He is Allah,
the One. Allah is Eternal and Absolute. He begets not, nor was He begotten. And
there is none co-equal unto Him.”
7. Now bow down saying: "Allahu Akbar" and place your hands on your knees and
say silently:"Subhana Rabbiyal Adhim." This means: (How Perfect is my Lord, the
Supreme) three times. This position is called Rukoo'. Keep your head in line
with your back, and look downward to the place ofSujood. (See step 9)
8. Stand up from the bowing position saying:"Sami'Allahu liman hamidah" (Allah
hears those who praise Him)"Rabbana lakal hamd." This means: (Our Lord, praise
be to You).
9. Prostrate on the floor saying: "Allahu Akbar" with your forehead, nose, palms
of both hands, your knees, and toes all touching the floor. Then recite
silently: "Subhana Rabbiyal A'la."
(How Perfect is my Lord, the Highest) three times. This position is called
Sujood. Keep your arms away from the sides of the body and the ground.
10. Sit up from the floor saying Allahu Akbar. Sit upright with your knees bent
and palms placed on them and say: “Rabbighfir li.”
رب اغفر لي
This means:
“O my Lord! Forgive me.”
Say "Allahu Akbar" and again prostrate in the Sujood position. Recite "Subhana
Rabbiyal A'la" three times. Sit up from this position saying "Allahu Akbar"
This completes the first Rak'ah or unit of Salah. Now stand up for the second
Rak'ah and perform it in the same way, except that you do not recite Subhanakaat
the beginning, and after the second Sujood(prostration) you sit on the left leg
while keeping the right foot upright and put your right hand on the right thigh,
with all fingers together in a fist except the index finger. Stick the index
finger straight out. Put your left hand on the left thigh. Now recite Tashahhud
silently:
التحيات لله والصلوات والطيبات، السلام عليك أيها النبي ورحمة لله
وبركاته، السلام علينا و على عباد الله الصالحين، أشهد أن لا إله إلا الله، وأشهد
أن محمدا عبده و رسوله.
"At-Tahiyyatu lillahi This means: “Greetings, prayers and
was- Salawatu wat-Tayyibatu. goodness belong to Allah.
As-Salamu ' alaika Peace be on you,
ayyuhannabiyyu O Prophet
wa rahmatullahi and the mercy of Allah
wa barakatuhu. and His blessings.
Assalamu 'alaina wa’ala Peace be on us and on
ibadil-Lahis -Salihin the righteous servants of Allah
ash hadu al-La ilaha I bear witness that
il-Lal lahu there is no god but Allah,
wa ash hadu anna and bear witness that
Muhammadan abduhu Muhammad is His servant
wa rasuluhu." and Messenger.”
In a three-Rak'ah Salah (as in Maghrib) or a four-Rak'ah Salah (Dhuhr, Asr, and
Isha) you stand up for the remaining Rak'ah(s) after you have done Tashahhud.
For a two-Rak'ah Salah you remain seated afterTashahhud and then recite silently
Assalatul-Ibrahimiyah:
اللهم صل على محمد وعلى آل محمد، كما صليت على إبراهيم وعلى آل إبراهيم، وبارك على
محمد وعلى آل محمد، كما باركت على إبراهيم
وعلى آل إبراهيم، في العالمين إنك حميد مجيد
"Allahumma salli 'ala Muhammadin “O Allah, let Your mercy come upon Muhammad
Wa 'ala ali Muhammadin and the family of Muhammad
Kama sallaita 'ala Ibrahima as You let it come upon Ibrahim
wa 'ala ali Ibrahima and the family of Ibrahim
wa barik 'ala Muhammadin O Allah, bless Muhammad
wa 'ala ali Muhammadin and the family of Muhammad
Kama barakta ' ala Ibrahima as You blessed Ibrahim
Wa ' ala ali Ibrahima and the family of Ibrahim.
Fil a'lamina Innaka Truly You are
hamidun Majid." Praiseworthy and Glorious.”
After this say silently: "Allahumma inni a'udhu bika min adhabi jahanam wamin
adhabil qabri wamin sharri fitnatil mahya wal mamat wamin sharri fitnatil
masihid dajjaal. Rabbi-ghfir li waliwalidayya, rabbi-rhamhuma kama rabbayani
saghira."
اللهم إني أعوذ بك من عذاب جهنم، و من عذاب القبر، و من فتنة المحيا و الممات، و من
فتنة المسيح الدجال، رب اغفر لي و لوالدي رب ارحمهما كما ربياني صغيرا.
This means: “O Allah! I seek refuge in You from the torment of the Hellfire,
from the torment of the grave, from the trials and afflictions of life and
death, and from the deception of the False-Christ. O my Lord! Grant me and my
parents forgiveness, and bestow Your mercy upon them, just as they brought zme
up when I was small.”
11. Now turn your face to the right saying:"Assalamu alaikum wa rahmatullah"
(peace and the mercy of Allah be on you) and then to the left repeating the same
words.
This completes the two-Rak'ah Salah.
In the three or four-Rak'ah prayers (Dhuhr, Asr, Maghrib, and Isha) the whole
procedure is repeated in the remaining Rak'ah(s), except after Tashahhud, you
say "Allahu Akbar" and stand up and only recite Surat Al-Fatiha in Fard prayers
and no other Surah, then continue doing the rest of the actions as you have done
before (Rukoo', rising, Sujood). Then stand again for the fourth Rak'ah.
Also, in the last Rak'ah of any prayer, after you have made your Sujood, sit up
and silently recite bothTashahhud and Salatul Ibrahimiyyah. At the end of any
prayer, you must finish by making Tasleem.
When to Recite Aloud or Silently:
During obligatory Fajr prayers, you recite the Qur'an aloud in both Rak'ahs. You
also recite the first twoRak'ahs of the obligatory prayers of Maghrib and 'Isha
aloud as well.
However, the third and fourth Rak'ahs are always recited silently during
obligatory prayers. Also, in theDhuhr and Asr prayers, the recitation is always
silent for all four Rak'ahs.
To determine the exact time period for each prayer (and also for fasting), we
need to determine nine points of time per a day.
The time to stop eating Sahur (for fasting), slightly before Fajr
.FajrWhen the sky begins to lighten (dawn).
SunriseThe time at which the first part of the Sun appears above the horizon.
DhuhrWhen the Sun begins to decline after reaching its highest point in the sky.
AsrThe time when the length of any object's shadow reaches a factor (usually 1
or 2) of the length of the object itself plus the length of that object's shadow
at noon.
SunsetThe time at which the Sun disappears below the horizon.
MaghribSoon after sunset.
IshaThe time at which darkness falls and there is no scattered light in the
sky.MidnightThe mean time from sunset to sunrise (or from Maghrib to Fajr, in
some schools of thought).
Salat Al-Witr - How To Perform The Three Rakats Odd-Numbered Prayer
Firstly, we state our intention (niyyah) in our hearts or audibly that we are
going to perform the three rakats of the The Odd-Numbered (witr) prayer by
saying "I intend to performthe three rakats of the The Odd-Numbered (witr)
prayer for the consent of Allah". After making the niyyah, we raise our hands up
to our ears in a way the palms might be facing Qiblah (Kaaba direction) and the
the thumbs touching the ear lobes. While raising your hands in the manner stated
above, we say takbir “ALLAHU AKBAR" (Allah is the greatest). Females raise their
hands up to their shoulders.
Then using the thumb and the little finger of your right hand, we make a circle
round the wrist of your left hand and place both hands slightly below the navel.
Females hold their hands on the chest; they should simply place the palm of
their right hand on the back of the left forehand.
After that, we start to recite first "Subhanaka"; after Subhanaka we say:"Audhu
billahi min-ash-shayta -nir-rajeem Bismillah-ir-Rahman-ir-raheem" and recite
Surah Al Fatiha. Then we recite some other surah.
Upon finishing the recitation, while saying the takber we go to “ruku’”, bend
the upper part of your body up to a point where the neck and back nearly level
up. Place both hands on your knees on a way that fingers on both hands stay
open.
Stay in ruku', at least for a time during which "Subhana Rabb'i-y-al-Adhiym”
could be said three times calmly and comfortably.
Then we return to the standing position saying "Sami Allahu li-man hamidah ". We
stand still for a moment and say: " Rabb'ana lakal hamd "
Then we go to prostration (sajdah) by saying "Allahu Akbar". The knees are
rested on the floor, the chest should then be lowered down. After having rested
your knees on the floor, place your hands first, then the tip of the nose, then

Then we turn for 'Salaam' first to our right sides by saying "As Salaam-u

The Prophet (PBUH) also said:
‘Whoever recites the last two verses of Surah Al-Baqarah at night, those two
verses shall be sufficient for him.’
‘The messenger believeth in that which hath been revealed unto him from his Lord
and (so do) believers. Each one believeth in Allah and His angels and His
scriptures and His messengers - We make no distinction between any of His
messengers - and they say: We hear, and we obey. (Grant us) Thy forgiveness, our
Lord. Unto Thee is the journeying. (285) Allah tasketh not a soul beyond its
scope. For it (is only) that which it hath earned, and against it (only) that
which it hath deserved. Our Lord! Condemn us not if we forget, or miss the mark!
Our Lord! Lay not on us such a burden as thou didst lay on those before us! Our
Lord! Impose not on us that which we have not the strength to bear! Pardon us,
absolve us and have mercy on us, Thou, our Protector, and give us victory over
the disbelieving folk. (286)’

Method of performing Ablution (Wuzu) :
When you want to perform ablution, follow these steps -:
First of all make the intention of ablution and then say 'Bismillla Hirrahma
Nirrahim' and wash both hands upto the wrists.
Then perform Miswak (clean teeth with a wooden stick).
Then by using the right hand, gargle three times and wash the inside of the
mouth, ensuring that the water reaches upto the throat and also all the gums and
underneath the tongue. If there is anything stuck on or between the teeth, then
release it.
Then by using the right hand suck up the water in the nose until it reaches the
bone and clean the insides of the nostrils by using the left hand thumb and
little finger, three times.
After this, take water into the cup of both hands and wash the whole of the face
three times, from the start of the forehead where the hair begins to grow, down
to and including the chin. Also from the right hand ear lobe to the left hand
one, ensuring that no place is left dry. If you have a beard then also wash this
and also run your fingers through it. However, if you are wearing an Ehraam then
don't run your fingers through the hair.
Wash both arms upto and including the elbows three times. Washing the right arm
first three times, then the left arm three times.
Then perform Masah once, meaning join the fingertips of both hands together
leaving out the index fingers and the thumbs on both hands. Then run water on
these six fingers and then brush them over the hair, starting from the forehead
and ending at the back of the neck. This is done once, ensuring that the palms
of the hands and the index fingers and thumbs do not touch the head. Now bring
fourth the hands by using the palms and rubbing them at either side of the head.
Then clean the inside of the ears by using the index fingers and the back of the
ears using the thumbs. Now wash the back of the neck by rubbing the back of the
hands on either side of the neck, but ensure that the hands do not go on the
throat as this would be Makrooh (disliked).
Then wash the right foot, from the toes upto and including the ankles, three
times. The perform the same three times for the left foot. Ensure that you wash
between the toes.
The ablution (Wuzu) is complete and so pray this Dua ; 'Allahummajalni
Minattawwabeena Wajalni Minal Mutatahhireen' .
Then take the water and stand up and drink some, as this is cure for the
illnesses.
Then look towards the sky and pray; 'Subhanaka Alllahumma Wa Behamdika Ashhadu
An La ilaha illa Anta Astagfiruka Wa Atoobo ilaik'
Also pray the Kalima Shahaadat and Sura Inna Anzalna. It is also better if you
pray Bismilla and the Durood Sharif when washing every part, also pray Kalima
Shahaadat. The above is the method of performing Ablution.
Out of these some actions are obligatory and if they were missed the ablution
would not count. Some aspects are Sunnat and to miss deliberately would be an
act of punishment. Some aspects are Mustahhab and to miss them would mean a
reduction in reward.
Obligatory aspects of ablution (Wuzu) :
There are four point in ablution that are obligatory.
1. To wash the face . Meaning from the beginning of the forehead where hair
starts growing upto the bottom of the chin. Also from one ear to the other ear.
To ensure that the skin of the face is washed once leaving no part dry.
2. To wash both hands upto and including the elbows once.
3. To perform Masah of one quarter of the head. Meaning to run wet hands over a
quarter of the head and at least so that the hair gets wet slightly.
4. To wash both feet upto the ankles once. The above four aspects are obligatory
in ablution. Except for these, whatever methods have been reported are either
Sunnat or Mustahhab. There are many Sunnats and Mustahabs in ablution and if you
would like to know these in detail, then consult larger books such as 'Bahar-e-Shariat'
or 'Fatawa-e Razvia'.
Rule : To wash a part means to at least pour two drops of water over each part.
To spread water over the parts lightly and not washing the part thoroughly and
therefore the ablution or bathing would not count.
Rule : To wash the skin above and below the lips, nails, eyes, the hair on
eyelashes, eyebrows, the skin underneath jewellery and even the hole pierced in
the nose, the skin underneath the mouchtache hair and beard hair and every part
or every part in the four parts mentioned is obligatory. If a pinpoint of it was
left dry then the ablution will not count.
Rule : It is obligatory to perform ablution for Namaz, Sijdah-e-Tilawat or
touching the Quran and it is necessary (Wajib) to perform ablution to perform
Tawaf.
Laws of Quran about inheritance
Following verses from surah nisa will explain the rules of distribution:-
For men is a share of what the parents and close relatives leave, and for women
is a share of what the parents and close relatives leave, be it little or much -
an obligatory share
And when [other] relatives and orphans and the needy are present at the [time
of] division, then provide for them [something] out of the estate and speak to
them words of appropriate kindness.
And let those [executors and guardians] fear [injustice] as if they [themselves]
had left weak offspring behind and feared for them. So let them fear Allah and
speak words of appropriate justice.
Allah instructs you concerning your children: for the male, what is equal to the
share of two females. But if there are [only] daughters, two or more, for them
is two thirds of one's estate. And if there is only one, for her is half. And
for one's parents, to each one of them is a sixth of his estate if he left
children. But if he had no children and the parents [alone] inherit from him,
then for his mother is one third. And if he had brothers [or sisters], for his
mother is a sixth, after any bequest he [may have] made or debt. Your parents or
your children - you know not which of them are nearest to you in benefit. [These
shares are] an obligation [imposed] by Allah . Indeed, Allah is ever Knowing and
Wise.
And for you is half of what your wives leave if they have no child. But if they
have a child, for you is one fourth of what they leave, after any bequest they
[may have] made or debt. And for the wives is one fourth if you leave no child.
But if you leave a child, then for them is an eighth of what you leave, after
any bequest you [may have] made or debt. And if a man or woman leaves neither
ascendants nor descendants but has a brother or a sister, then for each one of
them is a sixth. But if they are more than two, they share a third, after any
bequest which was made or debt, as long as there is no detriment [caused]. [This
is] an ordinance from Allah , and Allah is Knowing and Forbearing.
Those who commit unlawful sexual intercourse of your women - bring against them
four [witnesses] from among you. And if they testify, confine the guilty women
to houses until death takes them or Allah ordains for them [another] way.
They request from you a [legal] ruling. Say, " Allah gives you a ruling
concerning one having neither descendants nor ascendants [as heirs]." If a man
dies, leaving no child but [only] a sister, she will have half of what he left.
And he inherits from her if she [dies and] has no child. But if there are two
sisters [or more], they will have two-thirds of what he left. If there are both
brothers and sisters, the male will have the share of two females. Allah makes
clear to you [His law], lest you go astray. And Allah is Knowing of all things.
List of those who are mehram according to Quran im surah Nisa
And do not marry those [women] whom your fathers married, except what has
already occurred. Indeed, it was an immorality and hateful [to Allah ] and was
evil as a way.
Prohibited to you [for marriage] are your mothers, your daughters, your sisters,
your father's sisters, your mother's sisters, your brother's daughters, your
sister's daughters, your [milk] mothers who nursed you, your sisters through
nursing, your wives' mothers, and your step-daughters under your guardianship
[born] of your wives unto whom you have gone in. But if you have not gone in
unto them, there is no sin upon you. And [also prohibited are] the wives of your
sons who are from your [own] loins, and that you take [in marriage] two sisters
simultaneously, except for what has already occurred. Indeed, Allah is ever
Forgiving and Merciful.
And [also prohibited to you are all] married women except those your right hands
possess. [This is] the decree of Allah upon you. And lawful to you are [all
others] beyond these, [provided] that you seek them [in marriage] with [gifts
from] your property, desiring chastity, not unlawful sexual intercourse. So for
whatever you enjoy [of marriage] from them, give them their due compensation as
an obligation. And there is no blame upon you for what you mutually agree to
beyond the obligation. Indeed, Allah is ever Knowing and Wise.
And whoever among you cannot [find] the means to marry free, believing women,
then [he may marry] from those whom your right hands possess of believing slave
girls. And Allah is most knowing about your faith. You [believers] are of one
another. So marry them with the permission of their people and give them their
due compensation according to what is acceptable. [They should be] chaste,
neither [of] those who commit unlawful intercourse randomly nor those who take
[secret] lovers. But once they are sheltered in marriage, if they should commit
adultery, then for them is half the punishment for free [unmarried] women. This
[allowance] is for him among you who fears sin, but to be patient is better for
you. And Allah is Forgiving and Merciful.

Modesty according to Quran in surah Ahzaaband surah Noor
Dirty women are for dirty men and dirty men for dirty women and clean women are
for clean men and cleanmen for clean women; they are free from what they are
saying. For them is forgiveness and honorableprovision.
'O believers! enter not houses other than your own, until you take permission
and salute the residents thereof.This is better for you, haply you may be
heedful.
There is no sin on you that you enter those houses, Which are not especially for
anyone's residence, and youhave discretion to use them. and Allah knows what you
close and what you conceal.
Order the Muslim men to lower down their sights a little and to guard their
private parts. This is cleaner forthem, undoubtedly, Allah is Aware of their
deeds.
And order the Muslim women to lower down their sights a little and guard their
chastity and show not theiradornment but as much which is itself apparent and
remain putting their head coverings over their bosoms.And disclose not their
adornment but to their husbands, or to their fathers, or the fathers of their
husbands, orto their or the of sons husbands or their brothers or the sons of
their brothers or the sons of their sisters or thewomen of their religion or
their handmaids who are the property of their hands or servants provided they
arenot men of sexual desire or the children who are unaware of the private parts
of the women; and put not theirfeet forcibly on the ground that hidden adornment
may be known. And repent to Allah, O Muslims all together,haply you may get
prosperity
And perform marriage of those among you who have not been married and of your
suitable servants and handmaids. If they are poor, Allah will enrich them out of
His Bounty. And Allah is Ample Knowing.
And let those who have no means to marry, restrain themselves until Allah
provides them means out of HisBounty. And from among your servants and hand
maids the property of your hand those who wish that youshould write for them
freedom on the condition that they may earn some wealth, then write it for them
if youknow some good in them; and help them out of the wealth of Allah which He
has given to you. And force notyour maids to prostitution when they desire to
live in chastity in order that you may get some goods of thisworlds life. And
whosoever will force them then undoubtedly, Allah after this that they remain in
compulsion isForgiving, Merciful.
And the old retired women (past
child bearing) who have no desire for marriage, on them there is no sin thatthey
may lay aside their outer clothing when they display not their adornment. And to
abstain from that even isbetter for them. And Allah is Hearing, Knowing.

uncles or thehouses of your paternal aunts, or the houses of your maternal
uncles, or the houses "of your maternal aunts,or from those places of which the
keys are in your possession or , from the house of your friend. There is noblame
upon you whether you eat together or separately. Then when you enter any house,
salute your ownpeople, a nice greeting from Allah at the time of meeting,
blessed, pure. Thus Allah narrates to you His signsthat you may understand.

should feel tempted, yes, speak good words.
And remain stay in your houses and be not unveiled like that of the unveiling of
