EPISODE 3️⃣
5️⃣ Building a Masjid
The Messenger of Allaah (ﷺ) said: Whoever builds a Masjid for (the sake of) Allaah(ﷻ), then Allaah(ﷻ) will build a similar house for him in Paradise.
[Jami’ at-Tirmidhi 318, Sunan an-Nasaa’ee 688]
Anyone can join in the building of a masjid or completing one, all that matters is that we do it for the sake of Allaah (ﷻ) and for Him (ﷻ) alone
6️⃣ Praying the 12 Daily Voluntary Sunnah Raka’a
Umm Habibah (رضي الله عنها) narrated that the Messenger of Allaah (ﷺ) said: “Whoever prayed 12 rakahs in the day and night a house will be made for him paradise. 4 rakahs before Dhuhr and 2 after, 2 rakahs after maghrib, 2 rakahs after Ishaa and 2 rakahs before the fajr prayer.
[Sunan Tirmidhi no.415, Sahih Muslim 728]
Sounds very familiar? Then, do not stop the practice. Keep it up.
7️⃣ Avoiding Vain Arguments and False Joking
Narrated Abu Umamah (رضي الله عنه): The Prophet (ﷺ) said: I guarantee a house in the surroundings of Paradise for a man who avoids quarreling even if he were in the right, a house in the middle of Paradise for a man who avoids lying even if he were joking, and a house in the upper part of Paradise for a man who made his character good.
[Sunan Abi Dawud 4800, Hasan]
Nowadays, we have certain people who take joking with lies as a profession just to make people laugh… Example of these people are the comedians.
Bahz bin Hakim narrated from his father, from his grandfather that the Prophet (ﷺ) said:
“Woe to the one who talks about something to make the people laugh, in which he lies. Woe to him! Woe to him!”
[Jami` at-Tirmidhi 2315; Sunan Abi Dawud 4990. A similar hadith is narrated by Mu’awiyah ibn Jaydah al-Qushayri in Bulugh-al-maram Book 43, Hadith 218]
Subhanallah!
It is our job as Muslims not to loose focus especially when it comes to guarding our souls from what displeases Allaah (ﷻ) and moving it towards what pleases Him (ﷻ).
Aisha(رضي الله عنها) reported: The Messenger of Allaah (ﷺ) said, “Verily, the most hated man to Allaah is the one who is harsh in argument.”
[Sahih Muslim, Book 34, Number 6447]
To be continued… إِنْ شَاءَ ٱللّٰهُ
I pray Allaah (ﷻ) gives us the ability to fulfill righteousness and to persevere in times of trial.
آمِيْن يَارَبَّ الْعَالَمِينْ
