Here are some motivating tips from our Prophet (SAWS) to help you raise your degrees in Jannah as well as increase your property. I) Raise your degrees 1) Memorising the Quran Abd-Allah Ibn 'Amr narrated that the Prophet (SAWS) said :"It will be said to the companion of the Quran : Recite and rise in status, recite as you used to recite in the world, for your status will be at the last verse that you recite." [ Tirmidhi and Abu Dawood ] 2) Doing a lot of dhikr Abu Darda (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates that the Prophet (SAWS) said :"Shall I not inform you the best and the purest of your deed in the sight of your Master, which is the highest in your degrees, is superior to your spending gold and silver in charity, and is better than confronting and fighting against your enemy, cutting one another's necks?". The companions submitted :"Yes, indeed!". He (SAWS) said :"It is remembering Allah." [ Sahih Tirmidhi ] 3) Saying a dhikr after fajr and maghrib that will make you raise 10 degrees According to Abou Ayaych Al Zarqi (may Allah be pleased with him), the Prophet (SAWS) said :" Whoever says in the morning :'La ilaha illa Allah wahdahou la charika lah lahou moulk wa lahoul hamd wa houwa 'ala kouli chay in qadir' has the reward of releasing one slave among bani Ismail, 10 good deeds are written for him, 10 bad deeds are removed for him and is raised 10 degrees and is protected against Shaytan until the evening. And if he says it in the evening, then he has the same things until the morning." [ Ahmed ] 4) Doing compulsory deeds and staying away from bad deeds Allah said :" And whoever comes to Him (Allah) as a believer, and has done righteous good deeds, for such are the high ranks (in the Hereafter)." (Quran 20:75) 5) Doing a lot of nawafil (non compulsory deeds) According to Abu Hurayrah (may Allah be pleased with him), the Messenger of Allah (SAWS) said :" Allah said :" Whosoever shows enmity to someone devoted to Me, I shall be at war with him. My servant draws near to Me with anything more loved by Me than the religious duties I have enjoined upon him, and My servant continues to draw near to Me with supererogatory works so that I shall love him. When I love him I am his hearing with which he hears, his seeing with which he sees, his hand with which he strikes and his foot with which he walks. Were he to ask [something] of Me, I would surely give it to him, and were he to ask Me for refuge, I would surely grant him it. I do not hesitate about anything as much as I hesitate about [seizing] the soul of My faithful servant : he hates death and I hate hurting him." [ Bukhari ] 6) How to earn Jannat Al-Firdaws (highest degree in Jannah) Allah said :"1) Certainly the believers have succeeded : 2) They who are during their prayer humbly submissive, 3) And they who turn away from ill speech, 4) And they who are observant of Zakah, 5) And they who guard their private parts, 6) Except from their wives or those their right hands possess, for indeed, they will not be blamed, 7) But whoever seeks beyond that, then those are the transgressors, 8) And they who are to their trusts and their promises attentive, 9) And they who carefully maintain their prayers, 10) Those are the inheritors, 11) Who will inherit Al-Firdaws. They will abide theirein eternally." (Quran 23 : 1-11) 7) Making a sincere du'aa that you desire Jannat Al-Firdaws It was recorded in the Two Sahihs that the Messenger of Allah (SAWS) said :"If you ask Allah for Paradise, then ask Him for Al-Firdaws for it is the highest part of Paradise, in the middle of Paradise, and from it spring the rivers of Paradise, and above it is the Throne of the Most Merciful." [ Bukhari and Muslim ] II) Increase your property II-1) How to build a palace 1) Reciting 10 times surah 'Ikhlas' The Prophet (SAWS) said:"Whoever recites Qul huwallaahu aHad (Surah Ikhlaas) ten times, Allah will build for him a house in Paradise." [Saheeh al-Jaami’ al-Sagheer, 6472)] PS : It is a very easy way to earn a palace and it only takes about one minute. So you can earn 10 palaces in 10 minutes. Don't waste this great opportunity and try to make this a motivating habit and earn as many palaces as you can. 2) Praying 12 rak'aat in a day Narrated by Umm Habibah (RA) that the Messenger of Allah (SAWS) said :"A house will be built in Heaven for one who prays 12 Sunnat Rak'aat in a day and evening as follows : 4 rak'aat before and 2 after the Dhur Prayer, 2 after the Maghrib Prayer, 2 after the 'Ishaa' Prayer and 2 before the Fajr Prayer." [ Tirmidhi ] 3) Filling an empty place during the group Prayer in the masjid The Prophet (SAWS) said :" Whoevers fills an empty place in the rank, Allah rises for him one degree and builds a house for him in Paradise." [ Authenticated by Sheikh Al-Albani in Sahih Al-Jami ] 4) Going to the masjid The Prophet (SAWS) said :"Whoevers goes to the masjid or comes back from it, Allah prepares for him a house in Paradise every time he goes or comes back." [ Bukhari and Muslim ] 5) Building a masjid The Prophet (SAWS) said :"Whoever builds a masjid (mosque) for Allah, Allah will build for him likewise in Paradise." [ Sahih Bukhari and Sahih Muslim ] 6) Abandoning arguments and lies and improving your behaviour Abu Umamah (RA) narrated that the Prophet (SAWS) said :"I am a guarantor for a house on the outskirts of Paradise for whosoever leaves off arguing, even if he is in the right; and a house in the center of Paradise for whosoever abandons falsehood, even when joking; and a house in the upper-most part of Paradise for whosoever makes his character good." [ Abu Dawud ] 7) Saying a du'aa in the market On the authority of Abdullah ibn 'Umar that the Prophet (SAWS) said :"Whoever enters a market and says: 'Laa ilaaha ill Allah Wahdahu laa shareeka lah, lahul Mulku Wa lahul Hamdu yuhyu Wa yumeetu Wa huwa hayyun laa yamoot, bi yadihil khayr, wahuwa 'alaa kulli shay'in qadeer' (There is nothing worthy of worship but Allah, He is alone without partner, to Him belongs the dominion and the praise, He causes life and death and He is the Living One and will never die. In His Hand is all good, and He is over all things capable) Allah will write for him a million good deeds, erase a million of bad deeds and build for him a house in Jannah." And in another narration, instead of mentioning that Allah will buils a house in Jannah, it states "and he will be raised one million levels." [ Tirmidhi ] II) How to earn other great things in your property 1) A tree in Jannah Abdullah Ibn Mas'ud (RA) reported that the Prophet (SAWS) said :"I met Nabi Ibrahim (AS) when I was taken on Mi'aj (ascension to the heavens) and he told me :"O Muhammad, convey my salam (greetings) to your ummat and tell them that Jannah has good soil and sweet water, but it is barren. The plantation of Jannah is (the recital of) Subhan'Allah, Alhamdulill'AH? La ilaha illa Allah and Allahu Akbar." [ Sunan Tirmidhi, hadith: 3462. Imam Tirmidhi has classified his hadith as sound (hasan) ] PS : It is time to build our own huge forests insha'Allah. So let's get motivated. 2) A palm tree in Jannah Hadhrat Jaa'bir (RA) narrated that the Prophet (SAWS) said :"For the person who recites 'SUBHAN'ALLAH HIL AZEEM WA BIHAMDIHI' (Pure and Perfect is Allah in his glory and praise], - A date palm will be planted for him in Paradise". [ Tirmidhi ] 3) Treasures of Jannah Hadhrat Abu Dharr (RA) narrated that the Prophet (SAWS) said :" Should I not tell you of one treasure of the unlimited treasures of Paradise?" I replied spontaneously "Oh Rasulallah (SAWS) that would be an honor indeed!" Rasulallah (SAWS) said :"That rare is 'LA HAWLA WA LA QUWWATA ILLA BILLAH."(There is no power and no strength except with Allah) [ Ibn Majah ] 4) A particular amazing palace Abdallah Ibn 'Amr (RA) narrated that the Prophet (SAWS) said :"There is a room (palace) in Paradise whose outside is seen from its inside and whose inside is visible from its outside." So Abou Malk Al Ach'ari (MA) asked :"For whom is it, O Messenger of Allah?". He (SAWS) said :"These rooms will belong to the ones who speak good words, feed the poor, they fast and pray at night when people are at sleep." [ Reported by Tabarani and authenticated bu Shaykh Albani in Sahih Targhib No. 617) PS : These 4 conditions can be done during Ramadane since we have to fast, speak good, feed the poor (even if just once) and pray at night when people are asleep (after Taraweeh for example). Besides, this palace is probably made of glass if we can see the outside from the inside and the inside from the outside. So let's all strive for this amazing palace. 5) Hoor Al Ain (women of Paradise) The Prophet (SAWS) said :"Whoever suppresses anger and he is able to act upon it, then Allah (SWT) will call him on the day of judgement in front of everyone and make him choose whichever one of the women of Paradise he wants (of Al hoor Al Ayn)". [ Sahih Tirmidhi and Abu Dawud ] PS : Let's not let go of all of these wonderful rewards. Because remember, the bigger your property, the greater the pleasure. It's time for us to wake up. Share this with others so that you gain as much rewards as them practising. May Allah grant all of us Jannat ul-Firdaws. Ameen.
Yasmin you are wonderful,I never analysis the relation with our spouse this way,it's very true and we should look to ourselves and our dreams and stop expecting from spouse as he just a human being
There could be different reasons why a person who just got married isn't happy - internal and external reasons. People need to think about the expectations of marriage and what they expect from their spouse? Spouses are not Super Man or Super Woman.. there are some Marriage workshops/master classes being run especially for newly weds to really think about what to and how to prepare for married life from a human/Muslim/Islamic perspective. For example what are a person's expectations from their spouse and vice-versa is just and only emotional or physical needs? What about being a friend with your spouse you can talk about anything without being judged? - where y? I also think open communication and understanding with the spouse is important to discuss and talk about how you feel and vice versa.. When Prophet Muhammad (saw) came down from cave Hira after experiencing the angelic presence of the great awesome angel Gabriel (Jibreel) he was frightened and scared... when he related this to Khadija (ra) she calmed his nerves, comforted him, and listened to him like a friend and did not judge his experience, and listened attentively of his experience that he had experienced at top of the mountain (known as Jabal Nur) She for her husband would walk/climb up the steep mountain (can you imagine how difficult that would of been) which had no foot paths or lights, in pitch darkness to give food and comfort to her husband who used to spend much time in the cave for solace and contemplation.
Allah Akbar! I can't believe how much my small brain that I think the same way as Hamza Yusuf, everything he says I talk like that and people say that I am too much detailed person. Anyway I love how he mentioned Mauritania, border to Senegal and I'm surprised he didn't go there because senegal is very important in Mauritania and an Islam in the African Sahara.
