le conseil pour les femmes

Le conseil que Rasoul Allah (sal Allahu alayhi wa sallam) a donné à chaque mère, fille et épouse musulmane : « Si la femme prie ces cinq (salah), jeûne son mois (de Ramadan), se protège (de commettre le zina) et écoute son mari, il lui sera dit : « Entre au paradis par n’importe quelle porte que tu choisiras. »

Advice of RasulAllah sal Allaahu alayhi wa sallam to every Muslim mother, daughter, and wife: “If the woman prays her five (salaah), fasts her month (of Ramadan), protects herself (from committing zina), and listens to her husband, it will be said to her, that from any door you wish, enter Paradise!”

l’amour sacré et l’haine ultime

Allah’s Messenger, sal Allahu alayhi wa sallam, said:
“If Allah loves someone He calls (angel) Jibreel and says: I
love so-and-so, so you love him. Jibreel loves him, and calls
the other angels in Heaven to love that person. They love him,
then his love will be made upon earth, and he becomes loved.

“And if Allah hates someone He calls Jibreel and says: I hate
so-and-so and you hate him. Jibreel hates him and calls the
angels in Heaven and says: Allah hates so-and-so, so you all
hate him. They all hate him, and his hatred is made upon earth
and he becomes hated.” – Muslim

[Lessons from this hadith] People do things for the sake of
seeking out love from other humans. All the love you need is
found in obeying Allah. Do actions sincerely to win Allah’s
love, and love will be yours!

ah! the propinquity of Thy love to my heart

“For Muslim men and women, for believing men and women, for devout men and women, for true men and women, for men and women who are patient and constant, for men and women who humble themselves, for men and women who give in charity, for men and women who guard their chastity, and for men and women who engage much in Allah’s praise, for them has Allah prepared forgiveness and great reward” (Qur’an 33:35).

unbounded mercy of His

And in a Hadith Qudsi: “On the authority of Anas, may Allah be pleased with him, who said: I heard the Messenger of Allah, peace be upon him, say: Allah the Almighty said: O son of Adam, so long as you call upon Me and ask of Me, I shall forgive you for what you have done, and I shall not mind. O son of Adam, were your sins to reach the clouds of the sky and were you then to ask forgiveness of Me, I would forgive you. O son of Adam, were you to come to Me with sins nearly as great as the earth and were you then to face Me, ascribing no partner to Me, I would bring you forgiveness nearly as great at it.”

hayya ‘ala al salaah

Buraidah (May Allah be pleased with him) reported: Messenger of Allah (PBUH) said, “That which differentiates us from the disbelievers and hypocrites is our performance of Salat. He who abandons it, becomes a disbeliever.”
[At-Tirmidhi].

*NB: there is a difference of opinion on this matter, and the other opinion is that the muslim who doesn’t pray is still muslim, but a sinning muslim (but don’t be relieved bc leaving salaah is a grave sin)

a parable, doest thou desire?

“See you not how Allah sets forth a parable? – A goodly word as a goodly tree, whose root is firmly fixed, and its branches (reach) to the sky (i.e. very high). Giving its fruit at all times, by the Leave of its Lord, and Allah sets forth parables for mankind in order that they may remember. ” ( 14:24-25).

qadr Allahu wa maa shaa fa’al

On the authority of Abu Hurairah that the Messenger of Allah, sal
Allahu alayhi wa salla, said: “Seek out that which benefits you,
seek help only from Allah and never say you can’t do it.

“If any adversity comes to you, do not say: ‘If I had
only acted in such-and-such a way, it would have been
such-and-such;’ but instead, say: ‘Allah has decreed (it)
and what He willed, He has done,’ for verily, (the word) (if)
opens the way for the work of Satan.” – Saheeh Muslim

[Lessons from this hadith] If there is something that will
benefit you, make every effort and go after it! Seek it out.
There is no failure, only lessons.
