mistakes

It's not about being perfect. Doing only good and being free of  sins

We are only human and even the best of us make mistakes.

If we didn't we would become too arrogant and rely on our good deeds to save us. Perhaps even forget about Allah swt. Na-3udhu bi-llahi min dhalik.

It is about being humble enough (realising we are far from anything worth feeling pleased about)  that we continually turn to Him swt in repentance

In the quran Allah swt says  He swt loves the repentant (al tawwaboun) and those who rely on Him swt (al mutawakkiloun) .

Allahumma
 make us of those who do good deeds with excellence and mindfulness (al muHsinoun), those who are cautiously mindful of You swt always (al muttaqoun), the just (all muqsitoun), the clean (al mutattahiroun), the patient (al saabiroun) and those continually turning to Him
You in repentance (al tawwaboun) and reliance (al mutawakkiloun).

Allahumma
Please make us of those who love You and whom You love
And those who follow Your messenger saas and love Your (and our) beloved Muhammad saas. The seal of the prophets.

Aameen

3 golden questions

How often do you think about Allah swt? (all the time)
How often do you do salawat on the prophet saas? (more than you can count)
What do you think of yourself? (like a torn, scrumpled piece of scrap paper flat on the ground)

hadith Khabar athar

Hadith, Khabar, Athar

hadith, khabar and athar look very similar. They all contain isnads (chains of transmission) and matn (text).

A historical report ( khabar ) may carry some legal or theological implications, but its main aim is to convey information about a certain event in history (e.g. the prophetic biography)

A prophetic narration (hadith), on the other hand, is aimed at recording a religious law, prophetic practice (sunnah) or an article or faith.  It is not focused on, nor concerned with, the specific historical event however and thus, it normally does not specify a time or place.

A non-prophetic narration (athar) can be traced back to a companion or follower (tabi3) but not directly to the prophet himself (saas).  It is still important to know about the practices and opinions of the companions and the followers (tabi3een) as their actions are also examples of how to implement the prophetic example (sunnah)

Love

I love you Allah swt and Your love is what i seek
I shall show you my love by listening to Your Speech (quran) and embodying your teachings inshaallah
I love you O Prophet saas because you are my Love's love and His Messenger saas on earth
To honour the message isto honour the messenger who brought it. And to honour the messenger is to honour the King who sent him
So I shal listen to your speech (hadith) and actions (sunnah) and sseek to embody your teachings inshaallah
I love you O Family of the Prophet saas, and Abu Bakr ra, Omar ra, Uthman ra and Ali r.a. and all his close companions ra whom he loved and who loved him saas
It is to you whom we look to follow in complex and unclear matters of the Sunnah
I love all the prophets for they are brothers of the Prophet saas, Ibrahim a,s, Dawud a,s, Yahya a,s. Eissa a.s. and his mother Mariam a.s. and the many others a.s. and so I shall try to embody your teachings which were taught to you from the same Teacher

I love you O Roohy my wife because you are a gift given by my Love swt, beautiful in His eyes and loved by Him and His beloved prophet saas too
I love you O Fahtima my daughter because you are a gift from a gift both from my Love swt whose love shows no bound
I love you Allah swt and Your love is what i seek

arrogance

The prophet saas said "No one with an atoms weight of arrogance in their heart will enter the garden (of paradise)..." (Muslim, 91)

A sign of arrogance is that you always order when you talk rather than request.  "Give me this." He barks and "Do that."  Instead of "could I have this?" And "I really recommend that for you".

Orders and commands do have their proper place. But they should not be your common language as the places and times that they are truly required are few and rare.

So beware, if you find yourself being more critical of others with a harsh tongue that is not equally harsh and critical with yourself, then you I recommend you repent and try your best to adapt the humility of the prophet saas.



Sahl b saad narrated that the prophet saas said:
"whoever guard what are between his jaws (IE his tongue) and between his legs , then paradise is guaranteed for him "

I pray Allah swt cleanses our hearts from arrogance so that we do not follow the arrogance of iblis the cursed

 andI ask Allah swt to fill out hearts with light and love that is evident even on our tongues so that the satans fear us as they feared umar faruq r.a. .

 Aameen.

Aqeeda?

Aqeedah Vs Madhhab?
If it is a questions of INTERNAL BELIEFS [imaan], then you are in the realm of Creed/Doctrine [Aqeedah].
If it is a question of EXTERNAL PRACTISES, then you are in the realm of Jurisprudence [Fiqh] which is the science of interpreting God's Divine Law [Shariah] - example schools of thought [madhdhab] which interpret the Divine Law [Shariah] slightly differently include: Hanafi, Maliki, Shafii, Hanbali, (4 well known sunni schools), Dhahiri (literalist sunni school), Jariri (extinct Sunni school), Jafari (shia school), etc.

Summary
Aqeedah = Creed/Doctrine (A set and system of beliefs [Imaan])
Fiqh = Jurisprudence (the science of practically applying the Law of Islam [Shariah]- i.e. Hanafi, Maliki, Shafii, Hanbali, etc)




What is the Aqeedah of Islam (we will start from the most basic, and go into more detail)


The Most Basic...(accepted by all Monotheists - i.e. Muslims, Jews, All prophets, etc)
l-shahadah:
"Laa ilaaha illa l-lah" (theres no god except God)


More detail...(accepted by all Muslim sects - i.e. Sunni, Shia, etc)
l-shahadatain:
Laa ilaaha illa l-lah waHda-hu laa shareeka la-h (theres no god except the One God He has no partners)
wa Muhammadan 'Abdu-hu wa rasoulu-h (and Muhammad is His servant and Messenger)


More detail...(accepted by all Sunni Muslims)
Six pillars of faith:  Belief in 1)God's Oneness, 2) His angels, 3) His books, 4) His Messengers, 5) The End Times / Resurrection Day / His meeting on Judgement Day, 6) Fate - its good and its evils 


More detail... (accepted by all creeds and schools of thought in Sunni Islam)
Tahawi's Aqeedah (a compilation of beliefs from the Quran)


More detail... (only accepted by traditionalists of Sunni Islam - i.e. Salafi)
Athari Aqeedah (a compilation of beliefs from the Qur'an and Hadith)


Alternatives...(only accepted by philosophical branches of Sunni Islam)
Ash'ari / Maturidi Aqeedah (a compilation of beliefs from the Qur'an and Hadith and additional interpretations using logic and local customs, etc)

The following example shows the difference between athari and ashari /maturidi Aqeedah

Someone asks the question 'do we still pray /salah in jannah?'

strictly speaking​. The Athari position,
In the lack of clear evidence,
Would say
The answer is
Unknown

An ashari maturidi type answer may look like this;

Based on the following points

1) the angels (and jinn) were ordered to prostrate in jannah to a created being (Adam a.s.) so wouldnt they do so more to the Creator swt?
2) we pray to (i.e prostrate and praise) Allah swt on earth without seeing Him swt, thus we would we not do so more if we saw Him swt?

I believe it is very likely that the people of jannah will continue to pray to (prostrate and praise) Allah swt
