What Are the Dead Doing Now

This video summarizes what is happening in the life of Al-BARZAKH right now. The Prophet (saw) once saw a dream and he said that “last night someone came to me (angels) and they took me into the skies. They took him to the world of the dead. They reached a place and he saw a man lying down and another man throwing a stone on him repeatedly. The Prophet (saw) asked the angels “Who is this?” The angels told him to move on. They passed another man who had a hook and was cutting another man’s face with it. The Prophet (saw) asked “who is this”, the angels said to move on. They passed a lake which was red and there was a man swimming in it carrying stones from one side to another. He asked “Who is this?” the angels again said to move on. They passed men and women who are all naked and getting burned by fire. 

They then passed by an old man with a white beard surrounded by children in a beautiful garden. The Prophet (saw) asked who was this, the angels said to move on. They passed people whose one side of their face was ugly and the other side beautiful. They would go into a river and when they came out their face was restored to full beauty!

Finally, the angels told the Prophet what all these images meant. The first person getting crushed by a stone was too lazy to get up for fajr prayer. The person getting their face cut used to spread lies about others. The third person who was swimming and carrying stones took loads of interest. The people who were naked in the heat they committed adultery. The ones whose faces were half beautiful and half ugly, their good deeds are equal with their bad deeds or who’s good deeds were not enough. They are burned for their bad deeds and then saved from the fire and restored. The man with children around him was Prophet Ibrahim (as) and he was surrounded by the children who had passed away before their age of reasoning.

List of Times and Places Where Dua is Accepted

A short reminder regarding the recommended times of dua . And I think what you need to know here is that the recommended times of dua or recommended things that can cause your dua to be accepted, can be divided into two sort of large groups: Am I Good Enough to Make Dua for Myself? Situations where your dua is accepted. Times where your dua is accepted So I’m going to very briefly mention them one after the other as much as possible. As for situations where your dua has been accepted: – The person who has been wronged or oppressed . – A person who finds themselves in severe difficulty after a calamity has struck. – The person who is traveling. – Someone who is fasting. – The one who is reciting the Quran or has just recited the Quran – Someone who is performing Hajj or Umrah or jihad. – The one who is making dua for someone in their absence . Because we know that when you make dua for someone in his absence an angel says: “ Ameen and to you”. – A person...

Ghuraba (The Strangers): Nasheed with English Subtitles

Islam began as something strange, and it shall return to being something strange, so give glad tidings the strangers. (Sahih Muslim 145) This famous nasheed has many versions; this one is from Muhammad al-Salman and has the subtitles in English embedded. [We are] strangers and we do not bow the foreheads to anyone besides Allah  […] Transliteration to help in the pronounciation:  Ghurabaa’ wa li ghairillaahi laa nahnil jibaa Aisha Stacey  wrote in an article for Aboutislam.net : “I think that many of you would agree that being Muslim in the 21st century makes you well acquainted with being strange. It might even be a metaphor for random, as in you have been randomly selected. […] many converts to Islam will tell you about feeling as if they were strangers, before finding Islam. They will speak of feeling that they belonged somewhere else that their lives were just slightly off center. They often speak about a vague sense of knowing they were not like everyone else...

Taqwa – Living the Main Purpose of Ramadan

Taqwa is a major purpose for the month of Ramadan. The people of taqwa are those who do the things that they are commanded and avoid the things which Allah has made prohibitive. And evidently, to reach a state of taqwa requires vigilance, it requires patience and sincerity. The verse is pertaining to fasting I found in a single set of verses in chapter 2 starting at verse 183: O you who have believed, decreed upon you is fasting as it was decreed upon those before you that you may become righteous. ( 2:183 ) A Collective Act of Worship Allah is telling us that fasting has been made obligatory and then Allah tells us that just as it was prescribed for those before us. We often get asked this question in Ramadan, “how’s the fast going for us?” And if we gave ourselves a moment to think about it, we see that Allah Most High has made the fast inside the month of Ramadan easy for us because we know that there is a collective spirit to fasting; we know that we’re not alone in this ...
