Means To A Happy Life A Righteous Wife By Abu Idrees 07042017

Women in Islam Conference

Islam shows care and attention to the family. A society consists of families and families consist of individuals. Just as a building is built on a foundations, society is built on its foundations – individuals and families.

Islam commands both husband and wife that they treat each other in a good befitting manner, with mercy and kindness. They are the foundation of the family. 

Indeed Allah is with those who have taqwa and those who do good. (surah: verse). This is not complete until both husband and wife fulfil their rights.

A husband and wife should discuss their expectations of each other and their roles. This will avoid crossing each other.

The home should be built on tawheed, imaan, the remembrance of Allah and seeking knowledge in order to be successful. By this, they will attain Allah’s pleasure.

From the best of ways to remind each other is to seek knowledge and to share it. The man who goes to the masjid to seek knowledge should take his family with him. If he can’t, he should share it with them when they go home. 

Knowledge is also the right of the women and the children – that they are taught correct Islamic teachings. 

“The best of you are the best of you to your wives and I am the best to my wives.” – this hadith is a clear indication that a man should treat his wife well. 

“The most complete of the believers in imaan are those who are best in manners and the best of you are those of you who are the best with their womanfolk.”

Both husband and wife should continuously make dua to have righteous children – even before they are blessed with children. This is the example of the messengers.

✏️ Authentic Adhkār from the Qur’an & Sunnah: 
Lesson 1: Introduction to the Importance of Remembrance and its Virtues
•	Introduction to this course and what it will cover
•	What is the importance of Dhikr (remembrance) and its benefits:
o	All Muslims should know that the remembrance of Allāh is one of the greatest acts of worship one can do and is one of the most beneficial things to do 
o	Remembrance will bring one closer to Allāh
o	Allāh commanded and encouraged for remembrance to be made. Allāh also has praised the ones who make remembrance and has prepared for them forgiveness and a great reward. For example, see verses in Surah Ahzaab (ayah 41 and 35) and Aali-Imraan (ayah 191), note: these are only a few examples, the Qur’an mentions this topic plentifully
o	NOTE for the above point: why does Allāh mention remembrance so often in the Quran? = Because of servants great need for this. All of the creation needs Allāh and he needs none.
•	There are many ways of making remembrance, for example:
o	Reading the Qur’an and Sunnah
o	Attending circles of knowledge
o	Acts of worship
o	Reading supplications found in the Qur’an and Sunnah
•	Neglecting remembrance will be an evidence against a person in the hereafter. Any benefit (e.g. being busy with work and not remembering Allāh) gained whilst neglecting remembrance is small compared to the amount of reward lost
•	Hadith of Aisha (may Allāh be pleased with her) that the Prophet (صلى الله عليه وسلم) said “There is not an hour [a moment of time] that passes by the son of Adam wherein he does not remember Allāh except that he will be in grief over it on the day of Judgement” [reported by Al-Bayhaqi]
•	The effect making duā has on your life
•	The Sunnah is full of narrations which mention the importance and great benefits of remembrance:
o	Narration of Abū Dardā: The Messenger of Allāh (صلى الله عليه وسلم) said “Shall I not inform you of the best of your actions, and the purest of it with your Lord, and the one which will raise you in levels the most, and that which is better for you than spending in charity with gold and silver and better than meeting you enemy and striking their necks and they strike your necks?” they said “Yes, O messenger of Allāh! Inform us”, He (صلى الله عليه وسلم) said “The remembrance of Allāh” [Reported by At-Tirmidhī, Ibn Mājah and Al-Hākim]
o	Hadith of Abū hurairah that the Messenger of Allāh (صلى الله عليه وسلم) said “The Mufarriduun have gone ahead” they said “who are Mufarriduun, O Messenger of Allāh”, he said “Those who remember Allāh often of the men and women” [Reported by Muslim]
o	Hadith of Abū Mūsā Al- Ashari that the Prophet (صلى الله عليه وسلم) said “The example of the one who remembers his lord and the one who does not remember his lord is like the example of the living and dead” [Reported by Al-Bukhāri]

Sat 6 Jan 2018
✏️ Authentic Adhkār from the Qur’an & Sunnah: 

Lesson 2: Safety from hypocrisy, curing the heart and The Great Reward of Gatherings of Knowledge 

•	Engaging in the remembrance of Allah is a sign that a person has safety from Hypocrisy
o	This is because the hypocrites do not remember Allah except a little, see Surah (chapter) An-Nisaa verse 143: “Verily, the hypocrites seek to deceive Allah, but it is He Who deceives them. And when they stand up for As-Salat (the prayer), they stand with laziness and to be seen of men, and they do not remember Allah but little.” [4:143]
o	Allah mentions in Surah Munaafiquun (The Hypocrites): “O you who believe! Let not your properties or your children divert you from the remembrance of Allah. And whosoever does that, then they are the losers.” [63.9]
o	The above verse is a warning from Allah to keep away from the hypocrites as they have left the remembrance of Allah
o	from the signs of hypocrisy is the lack of remembrance of Allah, and this could be upon a Muslims even!
o	Allah would not place hypocrisy upon a person who is constantly and sincerely remembering him.

•	From the benefits of remembrance of Allah is that it is a cure for the diseases of the Heart
o	The remembrance of Allah is a cure, but the remembrance of the people is an illness
o	The remembrance of the Allah takes away the hardness or hardening of the heart
o	A person came to Hasan Al-Basri (may Allah be pleased with him) and complained about the hardness of his heart, and Hasan Al-Basri advised him to soften it with the remembrance of Allah 

•	When you remember Allah, then Allah is with you
o	The one doing the remembrance is close to the one whom he is remembering 
o	This is a specific type of Allah being with you (his creation), it is Allah aiding you, guarding you and giving you success
o	Allah mentions in the Qur’an: “Truly, Allah is with those who fear Him (keep their duty unto Him), and those who are Muhsinun (good-doers, - see the footnote of V. 9:120).” [16:128]
o	And Allah says: “And obey Allah and His Messenger, and do not dispute (with one another) lest you lose courage and your strength depart, and be patient. Surely, Allah is with those who are As-Sabirin (the patient ones, etc.).” [8:46]
o	More verses mentioned 

•	Also from the virtues of remembering Allah is that it is a means for blessings to come to you and will divert evil
o	Allah says: “Truly, Allah defends those who believe. Verily! Allah likes not any treacherous ingrate to Allah [those who disobey Allah but obey Shaitan (Satan)].” [22:38] 
o	The more one remembers Allah, the more one has a share of this protection, and likewise the one who is deficient in this regard then he will likewise be deficient in these blessings

•	When you remember Allah, then this is a form of worship
o	Hadith of Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him) : “Some of the poor Emigrants came to Messenger of Allah (صلى الله عليه وسلم) and said to him, "The wealthy have obtained all high ranks and everlasting bliss." He asked, "How is that?" They replied: "They offer Salat as we do, and observe Saum (fasting) as we do, but they give in Sadaqah (charity) and we do not, and they emancipate slaves and we cannot." He (PBUH) said, "Shall I not teach you something whereby you will catch up with those who have preceded you and will get ahead of those who follow you, and no one will surpass you unless he does the same as you do?" They said, "Surely, O Messenger of Allah." He said, "Say: Subhan Allah, and Allahu Akbar, and praise Him (by saying Al-hamdu lillah) thirty-three times at the end of every Salat." They returned to him and said: "Our brothers, the possessors of wealth, having heard what we are doing, have started doing the same." Messenger of Allah (صلى الله عليه وسلم) said, "This is Grace of Allah which He gives to whom He wishes."” [Reported by Al- Bukhari and Muslim].

Lesson 2: Safety from hypocrisy, curing the heart and The Great Reward of Gatherings of Knowledge

Sat 13 Jan 2018

✏️ Authentic Adhkār from the Qur’an & Sunnah: 

Lesson 3: Gatherings of Knowledge, making plentiful remembrance and the dangers of Negligence

•	Those who sit in the gatherings of remembrance will have safety and security on the day of Judgement
•	Wasting time with vain gatherings and negligence will only be a means of regret on the day of Judgement
•	Gatherings of the remembrance of Allah are gatherings were peace and tranquillity descend therein:
o	It was narrated that Abu Hurairah and Abu Sa'eed bore witness that the Prophet (صلى الله عليه وسلم) said: "No people sit in a gathering remembering Allah, But the angelssurround them, mercy covers them, tranquility descends upon them and Allah remembers them before those who are with Him." [Reported by Ibn Mājah] 
o	NOTE: this is not the same as Sufi gatherings where they chant repeatedly and turn off the lights etc. The Prophet (صلى الله عليه وسلم) and his Sahabah did NOT do any of these types of acts
•	Gatherings of knowledge are a great cause for the protection of the tongue (e.g. from backbiting and other evil speech)
o	Know that if a person does not use his tongue in the remembrance of Allah (goodness), then one is more likely to use it for evil
•	The Remembrance is from the most purifying of actions and from the best of actions with Allāh subhaanahu wata’aalaa
o	Narration of Abū Dardā: The Messenger of Allāh (صلى الله عليه وسلم) said “Shall I not inform you of the best of your actions, and the purest of it with your Lord, and the one which will raise you in levels the most, and that which is better for you than spending in charity with gold and silver and better than meeting you enemy and striking their necks and they strike your necks?” they said “Yes, O messenger of Allāh! Inform us”, He (صلى الله عليه وسلم) said “The remembrance of Allāh” [Reported by At-Tirmidhī, Ibn Mājah and Al-Hākim and others]
•	Ibn Rajab mentioned that there are many texts which indicate the higher virtue of the remembrance of Allah over and above giving in charity and other actions
o	Narration about Abū Dardā
o	How Shaykh Ibn Baz would make dua whilst waiting
o	Narration of Abdullaah Ibn Mas’ud
o	Note: The above point about how the remembrance of Allah can be superior to some acts such as charity does NOT mean that charity or other acts of worship should be belittled or stopped, these are tremendous acts of worship. The point is to show how great remembering Allah is when one knows the value of acts of worship such as charity
Section: Benefit of making the remembrance of Allah plentifully  
•	Allah Says: “O you who believe! Remember Allah with much remembrance.” [33:41]
•	Many people neglect the specified remembrances (e.g. the ones at specific times)
o	For example, what are the specific remembrances made after the prayer?
o	How many different types of duās do you know and practice? E.g. when going to sleep, waking up, eating, when wearing new clothes etc.

✏️ Authentic Adhkār from the Qur’an & Sunnah: 

Lesson 5: The variances in the Chapters of the Qur’an and the Great Virtue of Surah Al-Fatiha

•	The chapters in the Qur’an have different levels of virtue
•	NOTE: it is important to emphasise that ALL the chapters of the Qur’an are equal in one aspect, that is that they are all the speech of Allah and his revelation
o	Therefore, all the chapters of Qur’an have a great status by default
•	The remembrance of Allah through the recitation of the Qur’an and pondering over the Qur’an has a great amount of reward
•	However, different chapters have certain virtues, 
o	the speech of Allah has different topics and this determines what types of virtues are present,
o	For example, Suratul-Ikhlaas (The Sincerity) talks exclusively about the Tawhid of Allah (monotheism)
o	Another example is surah #
•	The speech of Allah can be of two types:
o	1. Information regarding the creator (e.g. the names and attributes of Allah) or the creation (e.g. stories of prophets, heaven and hell, future events)
o	2. Information regarding the rulings (halaal and haraam, commands)
•	The greatest of the topics in the Qur’an is where Allah tells us about himself
o	Therefore, those verses talking about Allah are going to be more virtues than the verses about the creation etc
•	Virtues of Surah Al-Fatiha:
o	Thwere is nothing in the Torah nor in the injeel (Bible) nor in the rest of the Qur’an that is equal to surah Al-Fatiha, see below hadith.
o	Hadith of Abu Hurayrah (may Allah be pleased with him) that The Messenger of Allah (صلى الله عليه وسلم) went out to Ubayy bin Ka`b, and so the Messenger of Allah (صلى الله عليه وسلم)  said "O Ubayy!", and he (Ubayy) was praying, Ubayy turned and did not answer him. Ubayy made his prayer light then went to the Messenger of Allah (صلى الله عليه وسلم)  saying, `Peace be unto you, O Messenger of Allah!' He said, "Peace be unto you. O Ubayy, what prevented you from answering me when I called you?" He said, `O Messenger of Allah! I was praying.' He said, "Did you not read among what Allah has sent down to me,"﴿اسْتَجِيبُواْ لِلَّهِ وَلِلرَّسُولِ إِذَا دَعَاكُمْ لِمَا يُحْيِيكُمْ﴾"Answer Allah (by obeying Him) and (His) Messenger when he calls you to that which gives you life" [8:24]. He said, `Yes, O Messenger of Allah! I will not do it again.' the Prophet said, "Would you like me to teach you a Surah the likes of which nothing has been revealed in the Tawrah, the Injil, the Zabur (Psalms) or the Qur'an?" He said, `Yes, O Messenger of Allah!' The Messenger of Allah said, said, (What do you read in the prayer.) Ubayy said, `So I recited Umm Al-Qur'an to him.' He said, "By Him in Whose Hand is my soul! Allah has never revealed in the Tawrah, the Injil, the Zabur or the Qurqan a Surah like it. It is the seven repeated verses that I was given."[Reported by At-Tirmidhi, authenticated by Shaykh Al-Albaani]
o	This hadith highlights to us the great virtue of Surah fatihah, it has different names, the seven oft repeated verses (see verse 15:87) and also the The core of the Qur’an. Other names are “Ash-Shifa” (the curer).
o	Another virtue of Surah Al-Fatiha is that your prayer is invalid without it. The Prophet (صلى الله عليه وسلم) said whomsoever prays without reciting surah Al-Fatiha then his prayer will be incomplete. See below Hadith of Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him)
