Day 13

Dar-ul Arqam was a secret place in Madinah where the Muslims would pray and have meetings. But Muhammad built Masjid An-Nabawi. It was public. It was made of mud bricks. The roof was made of palm leaves and the floor was sand. It was very simple, but it was a beloved Masjid. The Masjid was the place where armies would be sent out from. It was a place of da'wah. The Christians were allowed to sit in the Masjid so they could watch the Muslims pray. They could talk with Muhammad.

If you prayed 'Isha in Masjid An-Nabawi, it would be like you prayed for 83 years.

Muhammad's followers were thinking of a way to get people to come to their Masjid to pray.

And 'Abdullah bin Zaid had a dream.

A man came to him, ringing a bell.

Abdullah said, "How much are you selling that bell for?"

The man said, "Why do you want it?"

Abdullah said, "To get people to our Masjid."

"Tell you what," said the man,"You just say 'Allahu Akbar Allahu Akbar, Allahu Akbar Allahu Akbar, ash hadu al laa ilaaha ilallah, ash hadu anna Muhammad ar Rasulullah. Hayya alas salaah. Hayya alas salaah. Hayya alal Falaah. Hayya alal Falaah. Allahu Akbar Allahu Akbar. Laa ilaha ilallah.'

And to say iqamah, say 'Allahu Akbar Allahu Akbar, Ash hadu al la ilaha ilallah, Ash hadu an namuhammadar Rasulullah. Hayya alas Salah, Hayya alal Falah, Qad qamah tis Salah, Qad qama tis Salaah, Allahu Akbar, Allahu Akbar, La ilaha ilallah.' "

The next day, Abdullah told Muhammad about the dream.

He said, "Alhamdulillah. That is a true dream. Go to Bilal and teach him this because his voice is better than yours."

Soon Bilal was saying it, and 'Umar bin Khattab came running to Muhammad, saying, "Rasulullah, I had that dream!"

Muhammad said, "Alhamdulillah, that is a true dream."

If you have enough food for two people, then take a third person with you.
Fatimah was working so hard at home that her hands got injured.
Your allies are none but Allah and Muhammad and his followers.

Muhammad in Madinah, Day 12

Maghazi means battles. The earth of Allah is spacious.

People wanted to kill Muhammad. It was Abu Jahl's idea. He said, "Let's get one of the strongest men from all the tribes, give them each a sharp sword, and they all strike Muhammad. Then his family will ask for blood money, and we'll be happy to pay it."
Muhammad let Ali ibn Abi Talib sleep in his bed, and he and Abu Bakr left Makkah. Muhammad loved Makkah, and wouldn't ever leave it.

Muhammad and Abu Bakr hid in a cave. The men came to the cave, but they didn't go in because the web of a spider was there. It was a soldier of Allah. They stayed in the cave for three days.
Abu Bakr's son Abdullah would eavesdrop on the men in Makkah, and then at night he would share it with Abu Bakr and Muhammad in the cave.

Umm Aabat was this person who always provided people with food whenever they passed her tent. So Muhammad passed by her tent and asked,
"Oh Umm Aabat, do you have anything to spare?"
She said, "If I did, I would have given it to you."
Muhammad peeked in the tent and saw a weak she-goat. He asked, "What is wrong with her?"
Umm Aabat said, "She is too weak to graze with the other goats in the flock."
He said,"Does she have any milk in her?"
She said, "She is too weak for that."
"Can I milk her?"
"Go ahead."
Muhammad asked for a big container. He milked the goat and filled the container to the top. It was a miracle!

In Makkah, people usually sleep at noon because it is very hot.

Abu Jahl came to Abu Bakr's house and knocked on the door. Abu Bakr's daughter Asma opened the door. Abu Jahl asked her, "Where is your father?" She said, "I don't know where my father is." Abu Jahl slapped her face. She lied, but in this situation, it's okay to lie, for the sake of a Muslim.

Day 11

Ka'ab ibn Malik said,"We already learned how to do prayer and understand our religion.

We should do working for the sake of Jannah. Purify your intentions, and make sure we do everything just for Allah.

It's a struggle to follow Islam because you have to sacrifice everything.

Muhammad Sallallahu Alayhi Wa Sallam said, "I saw in my dream I'm going from Makkah to Yathrib (Madinah). It had lots of palm trees."

Umm Salamah said, "We came back from Habasha."
Umm Salamah, Abu Salamah and Salamah were separated. Uthman bin Talhah helped Umm Salamah find Abu Salamah.

Allah will forgive all sins. No matter what you do, Allah will forgive you, if you ask for forgiveness.

Allah is All forgiving.
Turn back to Allah and submit to the truth before punishment comes.
Beware of Non-Muslims.

Which one is better?

Oi! Aren't these beautiful? The backgrounds are blue and orange, because, apparently, blue is the opposite of orange. I learned that in painting class.

About Zinna
Some things a Muslim shouldn't do:

1. Accusing a Muslim man or woman of zinna is a major sin.
2. Good that came out of evil. It is bad for you, but you also learn to never do it again.
3. Muslims should think good of other Muslims.
4. We should not carry rumors.
5. It (zinna) should never happen again.
6. Don't talk about such subjects.
7. Don't lie.
8. Don't slander each other.
   
9. Accusing someone of zinna while you are doing a major sin also.

Don't let zinna happen again. (I know I wrote that a million times already.)
Muhammad tied a rock around his stomach because he was so hungry. He made du'a to Allah. "Put peace upon us."

Yesterday...

Hi, I know yesterday's pictorial was horrible! Sorry!

Except If You Can't....

Honestly. I had a little problems here.
I was going to do this other quote: Don't judge a Muslim woman by her cover.

Except I couldn't find a good picture.

So, pray wherever you are, except if you can't.
