Manners and Deeds

You got me?

Day 28

Banu Quraydhah was the last Jewish tribe in Madinah.
Ka'ab ibn Asad was the head of Banu Quraydhah.
Jibreel told Muhammad to go to Banu Quraydhah. He did. Muhammad told the sahaba to not pray asr until they got to Banu Quraydhah. It got sunsettish, so the sahaba stopped and argued.

One said, "We should pray when we get there, what Muhammad meant was for us to hurry up!" Another said, "We have to pray now!"

So some prayed and some prayed at Banu Quraydhah.

Abu Lubaabah got to Masjid Nabawi and tied himself to a pillar. He stayed tied up for six days.

He said, "I'm waiting for Allah to accept my repentance."
His wife would untie him every time he wanted to pray and when he was done she tied him up again. He wouldn't let anyone untie him except his wife. In the end though, Muhammad untied him.

Sa'ad bin Mu'adh was a special sahabi. All the sahabi participated in his funeral. The throne of Allah shook because of Sa'ad ibn Mu'adh. The angels were carrying the throne and they were shocked that Sa'ad died. Muhammad never forgot Sa'ad. Muhammad got some fabrics and the sahabi liked to touch them. Muhammad said the handkerchief of Sa'ad ibn Mu'adh was softer in Jannah.
Muhammad was standing at Sa'ad's grave. Then he said Subhanallah three times. Then he said Allahu Akbar three times. Sa'ad died at 37 years.

Allah & His Messenger



Day 27

Jabir saw Muhammad in a bad condition, so he asked his wife if she had any food and she said,

"We just have some barley and a goat."

Jabir slaughtered the goat and his wife made bread and cooked the meat. When the food was done Jabir went to Muhammad and said,

"Messenger of Allah, I have some food for you at my house."

Muhammad asked, "How much do you have?"

Jabir said, "A little bit."

Muhammad got up and invited the whole camp to Jabir's house. Jabir was surprised because he didn't even have enough food for everybody. He ran home and told his wife that Muhammad invited the whole camp. She said,

"Did he ask how much we have?"

Jabir said yes. She said,

"Allah and his messenger know best."

So everybody came to Jabir's house and 800 people ate. When they were done eating Muhammad checked the pot of meat and saw it was still full and the bread was still baking. Muhammad told Jabir's wife to give it to her neighbors. This was a miracle of Muhammad. Yum.

Don't Be Rude


Quite true.

Day 26

Muhammad's camel was slow and weak, so he asked Jabir for his stick. Muhammad prodded the camel with the stick. "Mount it," he told Jabir. Muhammad's camel was fast now.
It's not appropriate to surprise people because then they have to get their house ready and they can dust off their cushions.
Umar had a servant. The servant had to get water from a well. There were too much people there so they fought. Muhammad stopped them.
Muslims should not fight or be rude to each other. Especially boys with their older sisters and their moms. Especially.

But it's awfully hard.

Day 25

I think five or six days left!
↓
Hasan bin Thabit named his kids after the shuhadaa'.
Zayd ibn Thabit took 15 days to learn the Hebrew language. It's good for Muslims to learn languages.
The Jews were planning to kill Muhammad. Allah sent Jibril down to tell Muhammad. Muhammad got up and left.
Banu Nadhir were rich.
Iman made the Muslims' hearts strong. Their opponents were chickening out. They were struck by fear. And the Muslims didn't have good training and weapons!
A Yahudi woman was executed by Muhammad.
Al-Aws and Khazraj are the Ansar.
Muhammad was a shepherd before he was a prophet.
Islam isn't a religion for any specific skin color.

Plant Trees


Not very good today. If you can't see the words, well, too bad.

■Newr■

PS: Just kidding.

Day 24 - a few more days!

I can't say how much more days until Eid - it'll be on either Tuesday or Wednesday. So that's why I said a few more days.
Tonight I'm having iftar at someone's house, and on Saturday H has a soccer game and then we have iftar at the masjid. There's a potluck.

Arabs' lifestyle is fighting. People were scared to join Uhud because they were scared of dying.

People seem to only remember Allah when things are hard. Like if people are stranded at sea, they ask Allah to help them. Then after Allah helps them, they go back and pray to their idols.

If you see Khalid bin Sufyan you will tremble because he was so powerful. Abdullah bin 'Unays said, "I never trembled because of anyone." He carried his sword and went out. He gathered close to Makkah. He recruits his army to a camp. He was walking towards a man, when he suddenly shivered. He knew then the man was Khalid bin Sufyan. It was Asr time. Abdullah bin 'Unays wanted to pray but he knew Khalid would know he was a Muslim. Khalid asked Abdullah, "Who are you?" He said, "I know you are recruiting armies to kill Muhammad." Khalid said, "Yes, I am." Abdullah killed him. He said, "I killed him!" Muhammad said, "Yes, you did." Muhammad gave Abdullah a stick. And when he died, he got buried with it. On the day of judgement, he will lean on that stick.

You are not supposed to kill in Makkah.

Abu Sufyan said, "I've never seen the sahaba love anybody like they love Muhammad."

Khabbab was imprisoned in a woman's house. He told her to get a blade so he could cut his pubic hair. The Kafirs were coming to kill him. She gave him a blade and brought her kid. The kid crawled on to Khabbab's lap. The woman got worried because Khabbab has the blade in his hand and she thought Khabbab would kill the kid. Khabbab said, "Insha Allah I will not do that." The woman said, "He is the best of prisoners I have ever seen. I would come in his room and he is eating grapes when there are no grapes in Makkah. So I knew he got the grapes from the angels." And this woman wasn't a Muslim.

Somebody told Muhammad, "Send some men to me, Islam is spreading, I want some preachers to preach Islam." Muhammad sent 70 men called Al-Qurraa'. The readers of the Qur'an.

Someone stabbed a man. The man yelled, "Allahu Akbar, I have succeeded!" Then he died. His killer didn't understand. "What's he talking about, I killed him!" People said, "He is making shahadah." The killer became a Muslim.
