Supplication upon Sneezing

When you sneeze, say:

“All praise and thanks are to Allah.”

Your companion (the ones who hear the sneeze) should say:

 “May Allah have mercy upon you.”

When someone says this to you then you should say:

 ‘‘May Allah guide you and set your affairs in order.”

[Narrated by  Al-Bukhari 7/125]

Signs of the Hour 2 - News Regarding The Nations Gathering Against The Muslims, Seeking To Weaken Them, Even Though The Muslims Will Be Large In Numbers

Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him) said that he heard the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) say to Thaubaan,

"How will you be when the nations will call each other upon you as those who are dining call each other to their dish?" Thaubaan asked,

"...0 Messenger of Allah, will that be because we will be few (in number)?" He (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said,

"No, rather at that time you will be many, yet Al-Wahn will be cast into your hearts."

"And what is Al-Wahn, 0 Messenger of Allah?"

The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said, "Your love for the world and your hate for fighting."

Signs of the Hour 1

Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him) reported that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said,

"Before the Hour are treacherous years; in them, the truthful person will be disbelieved, and the liar will be believed; the trustworthy one will be distrusted, and the treacherous one will be trusted. And the base, ignoble one will speak in that time (i.e., he has a voice that is heard by the people.)"

Supplication upon leaving the Home

‘‘O Allah, I seek refuge in You lest I misguide others, or I am misguided by others, lest cause others to err or I am caused to err, lest I abuse others or be abused, and lest I behave foolishly or meet with the foolishness of others.”

[Narrated by Abu Dawud, An-Nasa’i, At-Tirmidhi. See  also Al-Albani, Sahih At-Tirmidhi 3/152]

Words of Allah & the Sounds of Shaitan

O Muslim, lawful things have good attributes,
Where is the good in singing, dancing and listening to flutes?

Can we compare the words of singers and sounds of Musicians,
To the Glorious Quran, its lessons, wisdoms and admonitions?

How many singers do you know and give admiration,
And how many do you know of the companions and the following generation?

How much do you spend on singers from your dollars?
Compared to how many you know of Islamic Scholars.

Do you see how much is memorized of Music songs?
While you ignore the book to which memorization belongs?

How much do you memorize of these incantations?
And swayed back and forth in intoxication?

Have you not seen those who follow the misguided?
And increase the loudness of the Music, when they should hide it?

And who writes their songs? Thinkers, or men of academia?
Or maybe scholars, like Ahmad, Malik or maybe ibn Taymiyah.

O you who listens to music..

Don't you see that all the songs of the world and all the lyrics you've seen,
Couldn´t compare with Alif Laam Meem?
