          A beautiful hadith
          
           Rasulullah (صل الله عليه وسلم) said:
          
          “When a man dies & his loved ones are busy at a funeral, an extremely handsome man stands beside him. When the corpse is wrapped, this man is between the shroud & the chest of the deceased.
          
          When after the burial people come home, 2 angels, Munkar & Nakeer (names of two special angels), come to the grave & try to separate the deceased from this handsome man so that they can be able to question the deceased in private about their Faith.
          
          But the handsome man said, “He is my companion, he is my friend. I won't leave him alone anyway.
          
          If you are appointed for questioning, do your job... I can not leave it until I have admitted it to Heaven.
          
          Subsequently, he turns to his dead companion & says, “I am the Quran, which you are used to reading, sometimes aloud & sometimes quietly. Do not worry.
          
          After the interrogation of Munkar & Naker, you will have no grief..."
          
          When the interrogation is over, the handsome man arranges for him al-Mala'ul A'laa (angels in heaven) silk bedding filled with musk.
          
          Rasulullah (صل الله عليه وسلم) said: "On the Day of Judgment, before Allah, no other Intercessor will have a greater status than the Quran, neither a Prophet nor an Angel".
          
          Please keep passing on this 'Hadith' to everyone .... because Rasulullah (صل الله عليه وسلم) says, "Pass knowledge even if it is only one verse." May Allah grant this favour to each of us.

“I am lying on the bed. My children, brothers & sisters are all sitting at my bedside. Some close friends are also standing & overlooking my face. Suddenly, I start to breathe heavily.  Someone among the people sitting in the room is reciting the Quran. Everyone around is repeating with him. My breath begins to decrease. I open my eyes & look at something. The angel of death has arrived. I am preparing for the eternal journey. My mouth opened.  My brother dropped some water in my mouth, maybe it's the "Zam Zam" water that I had kept for the moment.
          
          Then everyone begins to recite, “Laa'ilaaha illallaaha Muhammadur Rasoolullaah”. I lost my vision. I lost my tongue, I even lost my feelings, but I could still hear.  I can hear my loved ones cry in pain. I am not yet dead, but I am almost lifeless. The angel of death does the final act & takes my soul with an intensive gesture. I have now left this world.
          
          All my wealth, cars, properties, bank balances, contacts & connections are no longer used for nothing. My identity is my grave & I am called a "corpse." My relatives are preparing my grave & some of them think that it is inappropriate to keep the corpse inside the house too long. The house that I myself built & lived in shrinks into space for me. My bath is being prepared.  I came out of the enclosure for the last bath.  My bathroom with expensive bath fittings is not for me now.
          
          I am wrapped in the white cotton shroud. I am locked in a wooden box to travel to my grave. My dear car is not for me now.
          
          What then have I amassed so many worthless things for? Why did I lie to gain unnecessary wealth? It doesn't help me.
          
          Woe to me because I wasted my life in vain. I forgot that my last trip was near & certain. Why have I sinned so much? Oh! I lost my game.
          
          Now stop imagining. It will happen to you & me someday. So let's be ready.
          
          Good deeds will make our journey & life in the hereafter enjoyable.
          
          
          

In today’s khutbah for Friday Congregational prayer, the Imam talked about the essence of praising Allah The Almighty. Try as much as possible to praise him after waking up, getting food to eat, whatever happens, etc. Because you’re alive, someone’s dead. The only time you go hungry is during the month of Ramadan or voluntary fasting. ALHAMDULILAH, you have food. Others don’t.
          
          Whatever happened to you, it could’ve been worse, so IN ALL, ALHAMDULILAH, regardless.

          Assam Alaikum!
          
          Ibn Abbas reported: The Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, said, “Seventy thousand from my nation will enter Paradise without reckoning. They are those who do not rely on incantations, nor believe in omens, but rather they trust in their Lord.”

*_THE SPECIAL PEOPLE OF ALLAH_*. BismilLaahir Rahmanir Raheem
          
          It is such an incomparable honor to be among the special people of ALLAH …right?! To be among the ones close and beloved to The King of kings, The Owner of the Day of Judgment, The Creator of All Mankind…The All-Powerful, The Eternal…. That’s such a glorious and most noble position.
          
          But who are the people of ALLAH? What are their characteristics? What makes them special? This is all mentioned to us in a beautiful hadith of our Noble Messenger, Muhammad (peace and blessings upon him).
          
          It was narrated that Anas bin Malik may ALLAH be pleased with him said:
          “The Messenger of ALLAH said:
          ‘ALLAH has HIS own people among mankind.’ They said: ‘O Messenger of ALLAH, who are they?’ He said: ‘The people of the Qur’an are the people of ALLAH and those who are closest to HIM. [Sunan ibn Majah].
          
          Spending time with the Qur’an (reading, reciting, memorizing, learning and contemplating its meaning) is the best and most enriching time you could spend. It is the heaviest on your scale of good deeds. It is the best form of dhikr (remembrance of ALLAH).
          
          Every second and every letter you recite gets you richer and gets you closer to our Ultimate Goal, fills your scale of good deeds and fills you with Light and Barakah (blessings) and Wisdom.
          
          The time we spend with the Qur’an is the time we spend with The Best Words, The Heaviest Words, The Most Noble and Most Rewarding Words. The Ultimate Truth!
          So lets make time every single day to recite the Qur’an and spend time with it. Find companions of the Qur'an to help you with that and make a group where you help one another to do so regularly. Find teachers, religious circles, halaqahs…etc. to keep you committed.
          
          Don’t miss out on this reward. Strive for it. Pursue it earnestly and tirelessly.
