Holiest Islamic Places On Earth

Islam is not just a 1400 years old religion but Islam is there from the time of Prophet Adam A.s. all the Prophets Including Moses, Jesus, Adam, Abraham and Mohammad (Peace be upon them all) given the same message of Islam that God is only one and all human beings should worship him alone. In this post we will have a look at some of the holiest Islamic places located on earth in different countries. all these places have some historical background which makes them holy. so here we go:

Masjid Al Haram: this is the most holy Islamic place on earth located in Makkah Saudi Arabia. Kaaba is in middle of this Masjid.

Masjid Al Nabawi: after Masjid Al Haram this is second most holy site of Islam. it is also known as Prophet's Mosque.

Masjid Al Aqsa: this is third most holy site for the Muslims and also known as Qibla e Awal.

Jannat Ul Baqi:

Cave of Hira:

Importance of Offering Tahajjud Prayer

Prayer (Salah) Or Namaz strengthens our emaan and it brings peace and comfort in our life. There are five obligatory prayers which have to be offered as duty. But salah does not end here, one can offer voluntary salah anytime whenever he wants. Among the voluntary salah, tahajjud is the most important one in Islam. Allah swt has directed us to offer tahajjud salah in Quran. The following verses indicate it;

�And during a part of the night, pray Tahajjud beyond what is incumbent on you; maybe your Rabb will raise you to a position of great glory� (17:79)

we should know that, tahajjud is not compulsory, but it is most liked prayer. Allah swt ha syndicated in the above verse that tahajjud namaz is so much liked that the offerer of it can be raised in rank (i.e. given glory). In another verse, Allah swt say;

�They used to sleep but little in the night. And in the early part of the morning they asked forgiveness.� (51: 17-18)

This verse is about the fearful slaves of Allah. Two of their qualities are mentioned in this verse. One is, that they sleep a little and sacrifice their sleep for salah and they do not miss fajar as well.
In another verse, Allah swt say;

"The slaves of the Beneficent are they who walk upon the earth in humbleness, and when the ignorant address them, they say: 'Peace' and they who spend the night prostrating before their Lord and standing" (25: 63-64)

The above verse also speaks about the qualities of the believers that they have no pride in them. And they do not indulge themselves in vain talk. And they offer salah at night. Thus, Allah swt has mentioned the tahajud salah as one of the qualities of the slaves of Allah swt. There is great reward attached to it. And first and foremost reward is the pleasure of Allah swt. What else can be the want of a believer in this world but happiness of Allah swt? There are ahadith that indicate how much goodness comes with tahajjud prayer. Prophet Muhammad pbuh said;

Narrated Abu Huraira: Allah's Apostle said :

"During your sleep, Satan knots three knots at the back of the head of each of you, and he breathes the following words at each knot, 'The night is, long, so keep on sleeping,' If that person wakes up and celebrates the praises of Allah, then one knot is undone, and when he performs ablution the second knot is undone, and when he prays, all the knot are undone, and he gets up in the morning lively and gay, otherwise he gets up dull and gloomy. "

(Bukhari :: Book 4 :: Volume 54 :: Hadith 491)

On another place, prophet Muhammad pbuh said that it is the most liked prayer after obligatory salah;

Abu Hurairah (radiallaahu anhu) said:

The Messenger of Allaah (sallallaahu alaihi wasallam) said: The most excellent fasting after the month of ramadan is fasting during the month of Allaah, Muharram, and the most excellent prayer after the obligatory prayers is the night prayer.

(Reported by Muslim, Abu Daawood, at-Tirmidhee)

The reward of praying tahajjud is the one which most of the people cannot have. And that is spacial reward as mentioned in the following sahih hadith:

Abdullaah bin Amr (radiallaahu anhu) said:

The Prophet (sallallaahu alaihi wasallam) said: �In Paradise there is a home whose outside can be seen from the inside and whose inside can be seen from the outside.� Abu Maalik al- Ash�aree said: Who is this for O Messenger of Allah? He said: �It is for the one who makes his speech good and decent, who feeds others and spends the night in standing whilst others are sleeping.�

Reported by al-Haakim who said: It is Saheeh with the conditions (of Bukhaari and Muslim).

Therefore, praying tahajjud should be made habit for the love , happiness and reward from Allah swt.

Issue of Using Toothpaste and Brush While Fasting

Ramadan 2015 has begun and Muslims throughout the globe has started fasting. while fasting people faces several Issues which they want to clarify that is it ok to do some specific things during fast and will it break their fast or not? One of these Issues is using Toothpaste and toothbrush while fasting.

Prophet SAW and Sahaba used siwak (Mishwak) to clean their teeth and they even used it while fasting. there was no toothbrush and toothpaste at that time. so we will have to look opinion of different scholars on this issue.

according to most of scholars its completely fine to use toothbrush and paste during fast as long as you don't swallow the paste. so you can do it without any problem. Shaykh Ibn Baaz R.a has also said that its permissible.

the people who oppose usage of brush and paste during fast only promote rigidity which is against our Deen.

Lets look at the opinion of famous Muslim Scholar Dr Zakir Naik on this issue:

Ramadan Moon Sighted In Saudi, UAE In Pakistan 1st Ramadan on Friday

Common Ramadan Errors

In the month of Ramadan Kareem many people makes several errors against the Sunnah way told by Prophet Muhammad SAW. to avoid them we first need to know about them. If we will not know what mistakes we are making how we will avoid them.

so here are some of the common Ramadan Errors made by some people:

1 Keeping Fast without doing Niyyah (Intention): Niyyah is not done by tongue but by heart. the dua which some people read to keep fast is not authentic. we must do Niyyah with heart.

2 delaying the Iftar by several minutes: once its time of Iftar we should not delay it. try to open the fast with date because its Sunnah.

3 Giving big Iftar parties for just show off:  we know doind Show Off (Riya) is haram in Islam. giving expensive Iftar parties for this purpose is forbidden.

4 Wasting food In Iftar: people often make lots of food in Iftar and after they end their hunger there is still food left that is wasted. so don't try to make too much food for Iftar.

5 Missing Tarawih: although offering Tarawih is not fard so many people misses it. we should not forget the great reward in offering it.

6 Sleeping all the day after keeping fast: many people stay awaken all night then they sleep all day after keeping the fast missing all their prayers.

7 doing Haram things for passing the time of fast: many people passes time of fast by Involving  themselves in haram activities like listening music and watching movies.

8 no stopping doing sins: there is no use of stopping yourself from eating and drinking if you don't stop yourself from speaking and listening bad things and avoiding sins.

9 Missing Maghrib Salah while eating: Many people misses their Maghrib prayer because they continue to eat in Iftar. we should eat a little and then Maghrib and then we can eat again after prayer.
