Islamic Law of Mahr on divorced women before her husbands touch them...!

Surah Al-Baqarah [2:236-237]

There is no blame on you if you divorce women have not touched nor specified for them an obligation (Mahr). But give them [a gift of] compensation - the wealthy according to his capability and the poor according to his capability - a provision according to what is acceptable, a duty upon the doers of good.

If you divorce them before you have touched them and you have already specified for them an obligation (Mahr), then (pay the) half of that which you specified, unless they (the women) agree to forgo it, or he agrees to forgo it in whose hand is the marriage tie. To forgo is nearer to piety. And forget not kindness among yourselves. Allah is Seer of what you do.

Surah Al-An'am [6:99]

It is He Who sends down water (rain) from the sky, and with it We bring forth vegetation of all kinds, and out of it We bring forth green stalks, from which We bring forth thick clustered grain.

And out of the date-palm and its spathe come forth clusters of dates hanging low and near, and gardens of grapes, olives and pomegranates, each similar (in kind) yet different (in variety and taste). Look at their fruits when they begin to bear, and the ripeness thereof. Verily! In these things there are signs for people who believe.

Hadith of the day

Narrated by 'Abdullah bin Abi Qatada

My father said, "One night we were traveling with the Prophet (Sallallähu alaihi wa sallam) and some people said, 'We wish that Allah's Apostle would take a rest along with us during the last hours of the night.' He said, 'I am afraid that you will sleep and miss the (Fajr) prayer.' Bilal said, 'I will make you get up.'

So all slept and Bilal rested his back against his Rahila and he too was overwhelmed (by sleep) and slept.

The Prophet (Sallallähu alaihi wa sallam) got up when the edge of the sun had risen and said, 'O Bilal! What about your statement?' He replied, 'I have never slept such a sleep.' The Prophet (Sallallähu alaihi wa sallam) said, 'Allah captured your souls when He wished, and released them when He wished. O Bilal! Get up and pronounce the Adhan for the prayer.'

The Prophet (Sallallähu alaihi wa sallam) performed ablution and when the sun came up and became bright, he stood up and prayed."

[Bukhari  0569]

ALLAHU AKBAR

"When I pretend to be strong, no one sees my hidden tears except Allah.
When I’m sad and need a shoulder to cry on, no one supports me but Allah.
Pleasing a human is very difficult, pleasing Allah is the easiest.
People sometimes punish me for mistakes I have not done, Allah ignores and excuses the ones that I did.

This is Allah, The Greatest, The Most Almighty, The Most Beneficent, The Most Merciful, and all praise belongs to ALLAH ! "

ALLAHU AKBAR

Islamic Story : THE TRUE TREASURE

A burglar scaled the wall of Maalik ibn Deenaar's house one night and easily managed to get inside. Once inside the house, the thief was disappointed to see that there was nothing inside actually worth stealing. The owner of the home was inside at the time, he was busy performing prayer. Realizing that he was not alone, Maalik quickly ended his prayer and turned around to face the thief. Without showing any sign of being shocked or afraid, Maalik calmly extended greetings of peace and then said, "My brother, may Allah forgive you. You entered my home and found nothing that is worth taking, yet I do not want you to leave my home without taking away some benefit."

He stood up, went to another part of the room, and came back with a jug full of water. He looked into the eyes of the burglar and said,
"Make ablution and perform two units of prayer, for if you do so, you will leave my home with a greater treasure than you had initially sought when you entered it."

Much humbled by Maalik's manners and words, the thief said,
"Yes, that is a generous offer indeed."

After making ablution and performing two units of prayer, the burglar said, "O Maalik, would you mind if I stayed for a while, for I want to stay to perform two more units of prayer?"

Maalik said, "Stay for whatever amount of prayer Allah decrees for you to perform now."

The thief ended up spending the entire night at Maalik's house. He continued to pray until the morning. Then Maalik said, "Leave now and be good."

But instead of leaving, the thief said, "Would you mind if I stayed here with you today, for I have made an intention to fast the day?"

Maalik said, "Stay as long as you wish,".

The burglar ended up staying for a number of days, praying during the late hours of each night and fasting throughout the duration of each day. When he finally decided to leave, the burglar said, "O Maalik, I have made a firm resolve to repent for my sins and for my former way of life."

Maalik said, "Indeed, that is in the Hand of Allah."

The man did mend his ways and began to lead a life of righteousness and obedience to Allah. Later on, He came across another burglar he knew. [His friend] said to him, "Have you found your treasure yet?"

He said, "My brother, what I found is Maalik ibn Deenaar. I went to steal from him, but it was he who ended up stealing my heart. I have indeed repented to Allah, and I will remain at the door [of His Mercy and Forgiveness] until I achieve what his obedient, loving slaves have achieved."

Moral of the story:

This story gives us a glimpse of the simple lives the previous Imaams led, part of which was having a simple house and forsaking the worldly life and material possessions, so much so that if a thief entered he wouldn't find anything of value to steal. We also learn of the effect that being around righteous company has upon us, this is in accordance with the hadith of the Prophet (May the Peace and Blessings of Allah be upon him) in which he said: “A man is upon the religion of his best friend, so let one of you look at whom he befriends.” (Narrated by Abu Hurayrah in Abu Dawud 4833)

Hadith of the day

Someone asked: "Allah has commanded us to bless you. Messenger of Allah! But how should we bless you?"

Messenger of Allah (Sallallähu alaihi wa sallam) then said: "say: 'O Allah, bless Muhammad and the members of his household as You blessed the mernbers of Ibrahim's household. Grant favours to Muhammad and the members of his household as You granted favours to the members of the household of Ibrahim in the world. You are indeed Praiseworthy and Glorious'"

(Sahih Muslim)

.
In Arabic:

“Allaahumma salli ‘ala Muhammad wa ‘ala aali Muhammad kama salayta ‘ala Ibraaheem wa ‘ala aali Ibraaheem, innaka hameedun majeed. Allaahumma baarika ‘ala Muhammad wa ‘ala aali Muhammad kama baarakta ‘ala Ibraaheem wa ‘ala aali Ibraaheem, innaka hameedun majeed"

Islamic Story : Understanding of a Bedouin

During a battle in Constantinople (Istanbul), Al-Mughirah ibn ‛Abdur-Rahman ibn Ḥaarith ibn Hisham (may Allah have mercy on him) was injured in the eye.

Al-Mughirah (may Allah have mercy on him) was a man who was known for his generosity, especially when it came to feeding his guests. It is related that a Bedouin came to him once and continued to stare at him without eating anything that was proffered to him. Al-Mughirah (may Allah have mercy on him) said, "What is with you, Bedouin, that you do not eat as the people eat?" He said, "By Allah, I am indeed amazed at the abundance of food that you serve, but I have doubts about your eye." Al-Mughirah (may Allah have mercy on him) asked, "And what makes you have doubts about it?" He said, "I see that you are one-eyed and that you feed others. And I have heard one who was describing Dajjal in a sermon in the mosque (that he is one-eyed)."

Al-Mughirah (may Allah have mercy on him) laughed and said, "Eat, O Bedouin, for indeed the Dajjal will not be inflicted in his eye while he is fighting in the way of Allah!"
