Allah swt the most Merciful: If he comes to Me walking, I go to him running

Narrated Abu Huraira (RadhiAllahu 'anhu):

The Prophet  said:" Allah says:

'I am just as My slave thinks I am,
(i.e. I am able to do for him what he thinks I can do for him)

and I am with him if He remembers Me.

If he remembers Me in himself, I too, remember him in Myself;

and if he remembers Me in a group of people, I remember him in a group that is better than they;

and if he comes one span nearer to Me, I go one cubit nearer to him;

and if he comes one cubit nearer to Me, I go a distance of two outstretched arms nearer to him;

and if he comes to Me walking, I go to him running.' "

None of you should say: 'O Allah, forgive me if You wish

Narrated Abu Huraira (Radhiallahu 'anhu):

Allah's Apostle (Sallallahu 'Alaihi Wa Sallam) said:

"None of you should say: 'O Allah, forgive me if You wish; O Allah, be merciful to me if You wish,' but he should always appeal to Allah with determination, for nobody can force Allah to do something against His Will."

Always Remember Allah



An-Nawawi’s Hadith No.19

On the authority of Abdullah bin Abbas (Radhiallahu anhu), who said:

One day I was behind the Prophet (Sallallaahu 'alaihi wasallam) and he said to me:

"O young man, I shall teach you some words [of advice]:

Be mindful of Allah, and Allah will protect you.

Be mindful of Allah, and you will find Him in front of you.

If you ask, ask of Allah;

if you seek help, seek help of Allah.

Know that if the Ummah (nation, group likewise) were to gather together to benefit you with anything, it would benefit you only with something that Allah had already prescribed for you, and that if they gather together to harm you with anything, they would harm you only with something Allah had already prescribed for you.

The pens have been lifted and the pages have dried."

Narrated by Tirmidhi, who said it was a Hasan (fair) and Sahih (sound) Hadith.


In a version other than that of Tirmidhi it reads:

"Be mindful of Allah, you will find Him before you.

Get to know Allah in prosperity and He will know you in adversity.

Know that what has passed you by, was not going to befall you;

and that what has befallen you was not going to pass you by.

And know that help comes with patience,

relief with affliction, and ease with hardship."

Forbidding oppression and injustice, seeking Allah's guidance



An-Nawawi’s Hadith No.24

On the authority of Abu Dharr Al-Ghifari (Radhiallahu anhu) from the Prophet (Sallallaahu 'alaihi wasallam), is that among the sayings he relates from his Rubb is that He said:

"O My slaves, I have forbidden oppression for Myself and have made it forbidden amongst you, so do not oppress one another.

O My slaves, all of you are astray except for those I have guided, so seek guidance of Me and I shall guide you.

O My slaves, all of you are hungry except for those I have fed, so seek food of Me and I shall feed you.

O My slaves, all of you are naked except for those I have clothed, so seek clothing of Me and I shall clothe you.

O My slaves, you commit sin by night and by day, and I forgive all sins, so seek forgiveness of Me and I shall forgive you.

O My slaves, you will not attain harming Me so as to harm Me, and you will not attain benefiting Me so as to benefit Me.

O my slaves, were the first of you and the last of you, the human of you and the jinn of you to become as pious as the most pious heart of any one man of you, that would not increase My kingdom in anything.

O My slaves, were the first of you and the last of you, the human of you and the jinn of you to be as wicked as the most wicked heart of any one man of you, that would not decrease My kingdom in anything.

O My slaves, were the first of you and the last of you, the human of you and the jinn of you to rise up in one place and make a request of Me, and were I to give everyone what he requested, that would not decrease what I have, any more than a needle decreases the sea if put into it.

O My slaves, it is but your deeds that I reckon up for you and then recompense you for, so let him who finds good praise Allah, and let him who finds other than that blame no one but himself."

"Whoever performs the ablution as I have done this time and then proceeds to the mosque and offers a two-Rak'at prayer and then sits there (waiting for the compulsory congregational prayers), then all his past sins will be forgiven." The Prophet (salAllahu alayhi wa sallam) further added, "Do not be conceited (thinking that your sins will be forgiven because of your prayer)."

Allah will not get tired of giving rewards

Narrated 'Aisha (May Allah be pleased with her):

The Messenger of Allah (salAllahu alayhi wa sallam) never fasted in any month more than in the month of Sha'ban. He used to say:

"Do those deeds which you can do easily, as Allah will not get tired (of giving rewards) till you get bored and tired (of performing religious deeds)."

The most beloved prayer to the Prophet was the one that was done regularly (throughout the life) even if it were little. And whenever the Prophet offered a prayer he used to offer it regularly.

Messenger of Allah (Sallallaahu 'alaihi wasallam) said:

This Hadith deals with man's greed and his lust for material wealth. Only the person who has a perfect Faith can save himself from it.

Seeking the forgiveness of Allah


Narrated Abu Huraira (Radhiallahu anhu): The Prophet (Salallahu alayhi wasalam) said,

"Angels keep on descending from and ascending to the Heaven in turn, some at night and some by daytime, and all of them assemble together at the time of the Fajr and 'Asr prayers. Then those who have stayed with you over-night, ascent unto Allah Who asks them, and He knows the answer better than they, "How have you left My slaves?" They reply, "We have left them praying as we found them praying."

If anyone of you says "Amin" (during the Prayer at the end of the recitation of Surat-al-Faitiha), and the angels in Heaven say the same, and the two sayings coincide, all his past sins will be forgiven."

For sincere prayer (Salah), sins fall away just as the leaves fall from tree

The Prophet Muhammad (Sallallaahu 'alaihi wasallam) once went out when the leaves were falling from the trees. He took hold of a branch and said:

"Verily, when a servant of God prays seeking only His pleasure, his sins fall away just as the leaves have fallen from this tree."

Allah is all Forgiving

An-Nawawi’s Hadith No.42

On the authority of Anas (RadhiAllahu 'anhu) who said:

I heard the Messenger of Allah (Sallallaahu 'alaihi wasallam) saying:

Allah the Almighty has 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 as it."

Reward for fasting on Arafah day

Abu Qatadah (RadhiAllahu 'anhu) reported :

Allah SWT frees more slaves from Hell on Arafah day

`Aishah (RadiAllahu 'anha) reported:

The Messenger of Allah (Sallallaahu 'alaihi wasallam) said:

"There is no day on which Allah sets free more slaves from Hell than He does on the Day of `Arafah.''

[Muslim].

Commentary:
Almighty Allah emancipates most of His slaves, both men and women from the Hell-fire on this great day. Millions of pilgrims, who by virtue of their sincere repentance, try to seek the Pleasure of Allah certainly stand to earn Allah's Pardon for their sins and thereby emancipation from the Hell-fire. May Allah grant us this grace of His.
