Today's Beautiful Hadith is about Piety


Narrated Kharija bin Zaid bin Thabit: Um Al-`Ala' (RA), an Ansari woman who gave the pledge of allegiance to the Prophet (peace be upon him) said to me, "The emigrants were distributed amongst us by drawing lots and we got in our share `Uthman bin Maz'un. We made him stay with us in our house. Then he suffered from a disease which proved fatal when he died and was given a bath and was shrouded in his clothes, Allah's Messenger (peace be upon him) came ane I said, 'May Allah be merciful to you, O Abu As-Sa'ib! I testify that Allah has honored you'. The Prophet (peace be upon him) said, 'How do you know that Allah has honored him?' I replied, 'O Allah's Messenger (peace be upon him)! Let my father be sacrificed for you! On whom else shall Allah bestow His honor?' The Prophet (peace be upon him) said, 'No doubt, death came to him. By Allah, I too wish him good, but by Allah, I do not know what Allah will do with me though I am Allah's Messenger (peace be upon him). ' By Allah, I never attested the piety of anyone after that."

(Sahih al-Bukhari, Vol. 2, Book 23, Hadith 6)

If the Prophet (peace be upon him) could not be sure of his own outcome, how can we assume our own? None of us is guaranteed Paradise and we should use every moment we have to gain blessings, seek forgiveness and build on our purpose here on Earth. Be good to others, live in peace and worship Allah.

Frederic Omar Kanoute Save A Mosque In Spain

The privately owned mosque was due to be sold after a contract to use the premises by the local Muslim population had expired. But Kanoute, one of the finalists for the 2007 BBC African Footballer of the Year award, stepped in to purchase the building. Most of Seville's Muslims who will benefit from Kanoute's gesture are immigrants from north and west Africa. The Islamic Community of Spain confirmed that a last-minute appeal was made to Kanoute after the mosque had been put up for sale. "The worshippers at Ponce De Leon are quite diverse but if it had not been for Kanoute then we would not have had a mosque on Fridays, which is the most holy day of the week for Muslims," a spokesman for the Islamic Community of Spain told the local paper Diario de S

The Prophet Musa (Moses)suffered terribly from his people and endured much for sake of Allah. Abdullah Ibn Umar narrated: 'One the Prophet Muhammad SAW distributed something among his companions, a man said this distribution has not been done with justice seeking Allah's countenance,i went to the Prophet SAW and told him of what the man said, he became so angry that i saw the signs of anger on his face , then the Prophet Muhammad SAW said: May ALLAH bestow his Mercy on Prophet Musa (Moses)for he was harmed more in worse manner than this yet he endured patiently.
