How the Messenger of Allah left this world. Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) favorite of Allah the Messenger of Allah peace and blessings be upon him

In the morning, after spending time with his family after the morning prayer, the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) returned to the mosque and prayed for some time. Then he sat down and was immediately surrounded by his companions. This was the most convenient time for personal meetings with the Prophet (peace be upon him). At these moments, the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) tried to listen to each companion, solve their problems or teach them something. All the companions of the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) knew about this and tried to visit him in the morning hours.

Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) devoted this time not only to the religious aspects of the life of his community. It also received delegations from nearby and distant regions. In a word, he lived the social and political life of the state he headed. He sincerely and cordially greeted all his visitors, tried to devote equal time to them all, took a very keen interest in their news and always offered his help.

Unlike the emperors and rulers of the past, the Prophet (peace be upon him) never had a separate place at these meetings, and the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) himself was not distinguished by a special form of clothing. In the traditions of empires and states of the past and present, it is customary to receive delegations in special palaces and halls. And the rulers themselves, as a rule, sit on high and rich thrones, dressed in robes with symbols of power. The Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) did not stand out in any way among his companions. Visitors who did not know the Prophet (peace be upon him) personally sometimes even had to ask the people sitting in the congregation which of them was the Prophet. A special elevation for the sermons of the Prophet (peace be upon him) - the minbar - appeared much later at the insistence of his companions.

Sometimes someone would bring some food for these meetings. Then the Prophet (peace be upon him) shared a meal with those present. Even if there was very little food, there was enough for everyone, which was evidence of the barakah (grace) that extended to the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) and those who were with him.

In the hours between sunrise and shortly before noon, the Prophet (peace be upon him) visited some of his relatives and companions. He visited his daughter Fatima (may Allah be pleased with her) and spent time with his grandchildren, playing and having fun with them. Or he visited the sick or those mourning the death of close associates.

In addition, during these hours he walked towards the Medina market, greeting people with a smile along the way. Very often he stopped to talk to the children. When communicating, he was always interested in their family, listened to them and offered his help. Sometimes he walked alone, sometimes in the company of his companions.

Before noon, the Prophet (peace be upon him) returned to his home, and as soon as he entered, he first used the miswak, and then greeted the household and performed the Spirit prayer. Then, if there was food in the house, and if he did not intend to fast in the morning, he had lunch.

Usually at this time the Prophet (peace be upon him) was visited by the women of Medina to ask him questions about faith and rituals that they were embarrassed to ask in the presence of men in a crowded mosque.

Also, the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) devoted this time to his family and household. As you know, the Prophet (peace be upon him) himself repaired his clothes and shoes, and also independently looked after and milked the cattle.

Sometimes at this time he was visited by the closest of his associates. For example, such as Abu Bakr, Umar and Usman (may Allah be pleased with them all). Then, as a rule, the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) rested until the midday prayer (Zuhr).

When the time for midday prayer approached, the Prophet (peace be upon him) woke up, if he was still sleeping, performed ablution and prayed 4 rak'ahs before the main prayer at home. Then he went out to the mosque and Bilal called for the beginning of collective prayer.

After the prayer, he addressed a sermon to those present, then returned home, prayed 2 more additional rak'ahs and went to the city to do things that required his direct participation. Or, sometimes, he remained in the mosque until the afternoon prayer (Asr).

Upon returning from the mosque after the Asr prayer, the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) spent time with his family, doing household chores, teaching and mentoring his family members. The prophetic house was trained and developed in the understanding of Divine revelation.

Analyzing an ordinary day of the Messenger of Allah

It is not easy to correlate the daily routine of the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) with ours, but there are a number of common points. For example, in the daily routine of the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) there were, so to speak, “reception hours”, which were well known to people. Those who wished could always find him in the mosque at this time and ask their questions. If you are a manager, then you must understand that at certain times you must be available to your subordinates. This is very important for the common good and the success of your business.

The Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) was resting! The most influential person in history, a man whose goal was to save humanity, a man who today has more than a billion followers around the world, found time for a short nap during the day. Don't complain that you have too little time or too many important things to do, that you can't find 25-30 minutes for a short rest.

At the same time, his whole day was filled with prayers. There were not two hours during the day in which he did not pray at least once. One gets the impression that he was “recharging” by briefly moving away from this world to pray.

He went out to people, received visitors, went to the market, visited the sick, and spent time with the disadvantaged. In a word, he lived the life of his community. A brilliant example of leadership!

He spent time with his family whenever he returned home. None of his family members could ever complain that the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) spent too little time with his household. Now remember how often your family members complain about you? Do you often hear that you can’t find time for your family or that you work too much?

Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) was asked: “What does the Messenger of Allah usually do at home?” She answered: “He did whatever was necessary for his family, and when it was time for prayer, he went out to do it.”

To be continued...

The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) is the best example for all people

His bravery

Ali ibn Abu Talib, may Allah be pleased with him, said: “At Badr, when the battle was going on with all its cruelty, we sometimes took cover behind the back of the Prophet, may Allah bless him and grant him peace. He was the bravest of us. He fought closest to the enemy ranks.”

Bara, may Allah be pleased with him, gave a similar testimony: “I swear by Allah, if the battle became especially hot, we huddled around the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace. The bravest of us was the one who could fight with him in the same ranks” (Muslim).

One, but not the only, example of the courage of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) is the battle of Hunain. When at the beginning of the battle the Muslims were in confusion and were about to retreat, the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, without flinching, rushed into the midst of the enemies, guiding his animal further and further. His army, seeing his courage, rushed after him and in the end victory over the enemy was won.

His tact

One day a poor man came to the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him). He brought a bowl of grapes as a gift to the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace. The Prophet accepted the gift, took a grape, and, having eaten it, smiled. Then he ate the second, third, and each time he smiled, while the man, seeing the smile of the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, was ready to fly up with joy. The Companions looked at all this and were surprised that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him), who always shared with them, did not share the grapes with them this time. When he, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, finished the grapes, he returned the cup to the man, and he left with great joy and contentment on his face. Then one of the companions asked him: “O Messenger of Allah! Why didn’t you share with us?” The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) replied: “Did you see the joy on his face? When I tasted the grapes, they were sour. And I was afraid that if I shared it with you, one of you would say it and upset him.”

His generosity

When the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) conquered Mecca, the Muslims had the opportunity to take revenge on the Quraish for all the evil they had done to them before. The Quraish were frightened, expecting reprisals and revenge. Then the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) made a speech in front of the gates of the Kaaba, and at the end he asked: “O tribe of Quraish! What do you think I will do to you? They replied: “We expect only good things, because you are a good brother and the son of a good brother.” Then the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: “Go, you are all free.”

His good looks and manners

Anas ibn Malik, may Allah be pleased with him, who served the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) for ten years, said the following: “I have never touched silk or satin that was more delicate than hands of the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace. did not inhale the aroma of perfume more pleasant than the smell of the Messenger of Allah. For ten years I served our master. Not once did he say to me: “Ah!” Never once said, “Why did you do that?” - because I did something. And he never once said, “Couldn’t you have done it like this?” - because I didn’t do something” (Bukhari, Muslim)

His gratitude

Aisha, may Allah be pleased with her, said: “When the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) was praying, he stood until his legs split.” Aisha, may the Almighty be pleased with her, said: “O Messenger of Allah, you do this, but all your sins have been forgiven?” He said, “O Aisha, shouldn’t I be a grateful slave?”

Its reliability

The Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, was nicknamed “al-Amin” even before his prophetic mission, which means “faithful”, “reliable”, “trustworthy”. Ibn Abu al-Khamsa, may Allah be pleased with him, said: “I agreed with the Prophet, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, even before he received the prophetic mission to come to one agreed upon place. I forgot about it and only remembered three days later. As soon as I remembered, I went to the appointed place and found Muhammad, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, waiting for me. He just told me: “Young man, you have put me in a difficult position, I have been waiting here for you for three days.”

His gentleness and forbearance

The wives of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) sometimes upset him. But despite this, he was gentle and kind with them. Thus, one of the hadiths says that one day the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, said to Aisha, may Allah be pleased with her: “I know when you are pleased with me and when you are angry with me.” Aisha, may Allah be pleased with her, replied: “How do you know this?” He said: “When you are pleased with me, you say: “No, by the Lord of Muhammad!” If you are angry, you say: “No, I swear by the Lord of Ibrahim!” Aisha, may Allah be pleased with her, replied: “By Allah, O Messenger of Allah, I leave your name when I am angry with you.”

A lion.

In the Holy Qur'an the Almighty says:

Meaning: " Hold on to what the Messenger of Allah brought you!" (Quran, 59:7).

An authentic hadith narrated by al-Bukhari and Muslim states: “ To the best of your ability, try to do everything that I commanded you.».

1. In all your worship of God, in the study of sciences, in behavior, have a pure intention (that is, we must do everything only for the pleasure of Allah). Sincerity of actions is the soul, the essence of worship.

2. Follow the Sunnah in all words and deeds (We talked about the merits of following the Sunnah above).

3. Strive to be ahead of others in good deeds. There is a verse in the Qur'an that says that we should make every effort to be ahead of others in good deeds.

4. Acquire religious knowledge and spread it. The pursuit of such knowledge is the duty of every Muslim. The one who hid knowledge from people is put on a hellish bridle.

5. Listen to hadiths and preach them. Allah adorns the face of the one who spreads hadith.

6. Always try to be in the company of learned theologians, show respect to them and exalt them. Only hypocrites try to humiliate learned men.

7. Always follow the knowledge you have received, teach others the good deeds that you yourself do. Guiding one person on the true path is better for you than this whole world and all its riches.

8. Exalt mosques, keep them clean, and do not allow them to become polluted. They are the houses of Allah and therefore we are obliged to honor them.

9. Perform ablution thoroughly and perfectly, despite the cold and heat. A perfectly performed ablution is atonement for sins and gives a high degree in the other world.

10. Renew wudu every time after breaking it, try to always be in a state of wudu. Only a perfect believer is always in ablution.

11. Before each ablution and prayer, brush your teeth with siwak. Purification with siwak causes the pleasure of Allah and the wrath of Satan.

12. When performing ablution, carefully wash the areas between your fingers and toes. Read a special prayer (dua) after ablution. To the one who reads this prayer, all eight gates of Paradise will be opened, and he will be allowed to enter through any of them.

13. After each ablution, always perform two rakaat sunnah prayers. The person who performs this prayer will be among the first to enter Paradise.

14. Before each obligatory (fard) prayer, read the adhan (call to prayer) and iqamat (call to immediately begin prayer).

15. As soon as you hear the muezzin proclaiming the call to prayer, repeat the words of the azan after him, then bless the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him!) and read the prayer beginning with the words: “ Allagyumma rabba gyazigyi-ddagIvat" For anyone who does this, the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) will certainly intercede on the Day of Judgment.

16. If possible, try to build mosques or help those who build them. For those who contributed to the construction of a mosque, at least in such a part that is equivalent to a bird’s nest, the Almighty will erect a palace in Paradise.

17. Protect the mosque from debris and dirt. Littering in a mosque is prohibited.

18. Perform prayers with a group in the mosque, especially morning and night. With every step on the way to the mosque, a person’s good deed is recorded, his sins are forgiven, and his status is elevated before the Almighty.

19. Try to stay in the mosque for a long time. Mosques are the most highly revered places, and simply staying in them, with proper etiquette, is also worship.

20. Command your wives to perform prayers at home. For prayer performed secretly from others, a woman receives a greater reward.

21. Tell ordinary people who sometimes miss prayers, people who are busy with worldly things, about the importance of performing prayers, encourage them to perform prayers. And teach those who do not know how to perform prayer to perform it perfectly. The one who knows is obliged to teach the one who does not know how to perform prayer.

22. Give preference to doing what Shariah requires of us at a given time. For example, perform namaz on time, study science at the allotted time, thus observing the Shariah order. The Shariah injunction to perform a specific type of worship at a specific time contains a special meaning.

23. Before the time for prayer comes, prepare for it by performing ablution, covering your body, that is, putting on appropriate clothing. Prayer performed on time is the most beloved deed for Allah.

24. Try to perform all five obligatory prayers with the Muslim jamaat, as a group, but not separately. A prayer performed in a group is twenty-seven times more valuable than a prayer performed individually.

25. When you perform prayer in a field or in the mountains, read the call to prayer loudly. If a person in the field, having read the azan loudly, performs namaz, then many angels will perform namaz with him, and everything that is at a distance where his voice is heard will testify to him on the Day of Judgment.

26. While on the road, where you stop for a rest, perform two rak’ah prayers. The places where we prayed or remembered Allah will testify in our favor on the Day of Judgment, and these places will be proud of other places.

27. Pay more attention to performing morning and night prayers with a group of Muslims. For performing morning prayers in a jamaat, a person is given a reward equal to reviving the entire night with worship, and for those who perform night prayers with a group - as for reviving half the night.

28. Constantly be diligent in performing ratibat prayers, performed before and (or) after the prescribed prayers. Ratibats make up for the omissions in farz prayers. The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him!) paid special attention to performing two rakats of ratibat before morning prayer. If anyone performs four rakats of ratibats before and after the midday prayer (each prayer consists of two rakats), then his flesh becomes forbidden to the fire of Hell. Allah will have mercy on those who perform four rakats of ratibats (two each) before the evening prayer. A person who performs twelve rakats of Sunnat prayers daily will have a house built in Paradise. These twelve rak'ahs also include two rak'ahs performed after the evening obligatory prayer. And four rakats of the desired prayer performed after the night prayer are equivalent to four rakats performed on the night of power and predestination - Laylat al-qadr.

29. Constantly strive to perform namaz-zuha (2-4-6-8-10-12 rakats). One who performs two rak'ahs of zuha prayer is considered to be one of those who express gratitude to the Almighty for all the organs and parts of the body given to him by the Creator.

30. Perform the prayer of Awwabin (2-4-6 rakats). For performing six rak'ahs of the Awwabin prayer, a reward equal to twelve years of worship is recorded.

31. Perform namaz-witra (3-5-7-9-11 rakats). Of the desired prayers performed separately, individually, the Witr prayer is the most valuable.

32. When you wake up at night, perform Tahajjud prayer. The person who does not get up at night to worship is the one in whose ears the shaitan has urinated.

33. Perform Sunnah prayers at home. Desirable prayers, except those performed collectively and zuha prayers, are best performed at home.

34. After the morning prayer before sunrise and after the evening prayer until sunset, engage in the remembrance of Allah, remaining at the place of prayer. For this, a reward is provided equal to the completion of the accepted Hajj and minor pilgrimage - Umrah.

35. Try to constantly read prayers and references (azkaras) to Allah after the obligatory prayers, without skipping or shortening them. For each of these adhkars there is a great reward. For example, if after each prescribed prayer you say “subhIanallag” 33 times, “ Al-HIamdu Lillyag", "Allahu Akbar", then small sins, even if there are as many of them as sea foam, are forgiven by the Almighty if they are not related to debt to people.

36. If the jamaat asks you and if you are able to fulfill the request, perform namaz as an imam (leader). The one who performs prayer perfectly as a leader will receive the same reward as the one who follows the Imam in prayer.

37. Choose the first row behind the imam for prayer for the sake of Allah, but do not do it for show. “If people knew what reward the one who performs namaz in the first row receives, then they would strive for this by drawing lots,” says the hadith.

38. In collective prayer, stand close to each other, aligning the rows. If there is a free space between the worshipers, then the shaitan takes it.

39. If the first row is full, you should not try to squeeze into it at any cost. Those who stand in the next row, so as not to disturb or create inconvenience to those standing in the first row, are destined for an even greater reward.

40. If the row of those performing namaz on the left side of the imam is empty, fill it first. Those who fill the empty row receive a double reward.

41. After reading Surah Al-Fatihah in prayer, when the imam says “Amin,” say “Amin” with him. Those who say “Amin” are forgiven their sins together with the imam.

42. Perform a series of desired prayers. For example, make the performance of ratibats of obligatory prayers, zuha, ishraq, abbabinov, tahajjud, and vitra habitual for yourself. Two rak'ahs of the desired prayer are better than this entire world and all its riches.

43. After night prayer, perform four more rakats of sunnah prayer. After night prayer, do not devote time to talking about worldly things. During this period of time, talking about worldly things is undesirable (karaha).

44. Go to bed every night in ablution, clean, on your right side, turning your face towards the Qibla. Have a strong intention to get up at night to perform Tahajjud prayer. Whoever went to bed with such an intention, but did not wake up, will still receive a reward, as if he had completed the tahajjud prayer.

45. To make it easier to get up at night, take a break from worldly problems, eat less, that is, prepare for the night vigil.

46. ​​If at night you were unable to perform virds (the sheikh’s tasks to remember Allah), adhkars, and other types of worship, make up for them in the daytime. The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him!), if for some reason he could not perform the desired prayers at night, made up for them in the morning.

47. Perform zuha prayers with utmost vigor. A person must give donations for every organ of his body, and namaz-zukha replaces this alms.

48. Try to perform tasbih prayer as well. Anyone who performs tasbih prayer is forgiven previous and subsequent sins, old ones and new ones, committed by mistake and intentionally, small and large.

49. Every time after committing a sin, perform a two-rak'at sunnah prayer. The intention is made like this: “I intend to perform a two-rakah prayer of repentance (tawba).” And then repent sincerely. For anyone who, after committing a sin, performs two rak'ahs and asks for forgiveness from Allah, the Almighty will certainly forgive his sins.

50. Perform prayer for fulfillment of desires. When a person needs something from the Almighty or from people, let him perform ablution properly, perform two rak'ahs, praise Allah, bless His Messenger (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him!), and read a special prayer, asking for the fulfillment of his desire - and the Almighty will fulfill his request. Ask theologians about this prayer or read in the relevant books.

51. Begin all important matters by performing istikhara prayer and reading dua, that is, asking for help and blessings from the Almighty, relying on Him in your choice. A person who performs istikhara will not be left without benefit in the work he is doing.

52. Try to go to Friday prayers early. A person who goes to Friday prayers in the first hour of the day will receive a reward for donating a camel as alms, in the second hour - a cow, in the third - a ram, in the fourth - a chicken, in the fifth - eggs.

53. Strive to catch the hour of accepting prayer on Friday, try to spend the whole day in prayers and worship. Whatever the slave asks at this hour, the Almighty answers his prayer.

54. Every Friday, perform a complete ablution of your entire body, in cold or hot weather, at any time of the year. On Friday night and day, try to bless the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him!) more. Make an effort to read at least three hundred salawat to the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him!) on Friday night and day on Friday. Performing full body ablution on Friday is an imperative sunnah for every adult Muslim. The hadith says that we should distinguish this day from among other days by diligently reading blessings to the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him!).

55. When the imam reads a sermon (khutbah), do not talk, listen silently and carefully. Anyone who talks during this time will not receive reward for Friday prayer.

56. Enter the mosque with your right foot and leave it with your left. This also refers to the ethical standards that the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) observed.

57. When entering and leaving the mosque, read special prayers. Reciting prayers is the sunnah of the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him!).

58. Enter the toilet with your left foot and exit with your right. Read special prayers when entering and leaving the toilet. This is also the sunnah that the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) commanded us to follow.

59. After relieving yourself, wash yourself with your left hand. It is sunnah to use your left hand in dirty places and situations.

60. When starting all important things, first say “Bismillah!” Any important work begun without saying “Bismillah!” is devoid of grace.

61. Tell wealthy people about the importance and value of paying obligatory zakat on property, as well as the value before Allah of voluntary donations (sadaqa), thereby encouraging them to do these good deeds. A person who instructs another to perform a good deed will receive the same reward as the one who performed it.

62. Pay zakat yourself and give desired alms. Paying zakat is an obligatory pillar of Islam, and voluntary donations protect from the fire of Hell.

63. Acquire the blessings of life and livelihood only in a permitted way and be satisfied with what Allah has given you. Flesh that has increased on a person’s body as a result of him consuming something unlawful deserves the fire of Hell, and contentment with what you have is true wealth and an inexhaustible well.

64. Before revealing them to people, ask the Almighty to fulfill your needs and desires. No one can do good for you unless it is the will of Allah.

65. Anything permitted from the property that is presented to you without asking or expecting on your part - accept. What you have received in this way is your inheritance, which Allah has given you.

66. Do not keep the wealth that you have more than you need at home, but spend it on good needs: for the construction of mosques, madrassas, for the benefit of the poor and needy. You will lose the wealth accumulated in this world, but the wealth spent for good purposes will be found in the next world.

67. No matter how insignificant your property may seem to you, do not put it aside because of this, but give it as sadaqah and help those in need. If it is the will of Allah, even half a date given as sadaqa can save a person from the fire of Hell, and the reward for even the smallest donation can increase, as for a donation the size of Mount Uhud.

68. Give sadaka from what you yourself love, what you like. We will not achieve true good unless we sacrifice what we love.

69. If possible, make desired donations secretly. Alms given in secret from others extinguishes the wrath of the Almighty. However, if there is hope that others will follow your example, and there is no danger that alms will turn into something done for show, it is better to give in front of everyone, obviously.

70. Lend money and property to those in need. The reward for the loan increases up to eighteen times.

71. If your debtor cannot pay a debt, leave him until he can pay it back, or better yet, write off part of the debt or the entire debt from him. The Almighty will ease and relieve the person who helps someone who is unable to pay a debt from the difficulties of the Day of Judgment.

72. Spend the property obtained in a permitted way on your needs and on your family, not wastefully and not less than you should, but in moderation. Our expenses for our families are also sadaqah.

73. Allow your wife to give alms from home to the poor and needy. If the wife gives sadaqa with the permission of her husband, then both of them will receive a reward for it.

74. Give lawful food to everyone who comes to visit you, as well as the hungry and needy, to the best of your ability. If someone feeds a brother in faith to the full and gives him water until his thirst is quenched, then he moves away from Hell by seven ditches, between each two of which the distance is like from East to West.

75. Thank those who helped you in some way, read a good prayer for him, and, if possible, answer him with mutual help. The hadith says: “For the kindness and help that was given to you, reciprocate, and if you are unable to do this, then at least read the appropriate prayer for him.”

76. Fasting is a special act, dedicated only to Allah and loved by Him, so for this reason, love and observe fasting. Loving what Allah loves is a sign of our love for the Almighty.

77. Our night vigil in the month of Ramadan and worship should be for the sake of Allah. Worship done for the pleasure of Allah and with the awareness of the duty to obey Him is true worship.

78. Observe sunnah fasts: six fasts in the month of Shawwal, fasting on the day of Ashura, on the day of standing at Mount Arafah, in the first ten days of the months of Muharram and Dhul-Hijjah, every week - on Monday, Thursday and others.

79. After the obligatory fast in the month of Ramadan, fast for six days in the month of Shawwal. One who fasts in this way is like one who fasts for a lifetime.

80. Fast on the day of standing at Mount Arafah (if you are not performing Hajj). Anyone who fasts on the day of Arafah is forgiven the sins committed during the year.

81. Fast on the day of Ashura (if possible, fast on the days preceding and following it). The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him!) ordered to fast on this day.

82. Fast for the first ten days of the month of Dhul-Hijjah and perform good deeds. Allah loves most of all the good deeds performed on these days.

83. Also fast in the month of Muharram and perform good deeds more often. After the month of Ramadan, Muharram is the most highly respected month for fasting.

84. Observe more fasting in the month of Sha'ban. The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him!) also often fasted during this month.

85. Fast every Monday and Thursday. The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him!) also fasted on these days.

86. Revive the middle night of the month of Sha'ban by performing good, useful deeds, worship, etc. The hadith says: “Rise up this night and worship Allah and fast on this day.”

87. On the day of Ashura, please your family by buying good food, clothes, and gifts for your household. To those who show generosity to family members on this day, the Almighty will be generous throughout the year.

88. Fast for three days every month, in particular on the 13th, 14th and 15th days of the month. A person who fasts for three days every month is like someone who fasts all his life.

89. If you have no special needs regarding your wife, allow her to observe the desired (sunnah) fast. The believer must assist his family in performing divine services.

90. Before fasting, get up before the morning azan and taste something from food. There is great grace in the morning meal before Lent.

91. Postpone getting up for the morning meal until the end of the time designated for this, and when the time to break the fast comes, hurry to break the fast (if there is no doubt). As long as Muslims do this, the benefits for our ummah will not dry up.

92. Open the fast with a date, and if there is none, with water. The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him!), if he found dates, opened the fast with them, and if not, with water.

93. Invite others to your place to break your fast. A person who treats a fasting person to food will receive the same reward as the one who observed the fast. Even if there is no other food, then give him at least a date or a sip of water, and you will receive appropriate reward.

94. Stay in the mosque and concentrate on itikaf, especially in the last ten days of the month of Ramadan. In the last ten days lies the Night of Power and Predestination - Laylat al-qadr. A person who has been in I'tikaf for one day moves away from Hell to the distance of three khandaks (between each of which there is a distance like between the West and the East).

95. Pay the zakat of breaking the fast before the Eid prayer begins. This is obligatory zakat, and if you do not pay it, you will not receive the full reward for your fast.

96. Revive both holiday nights with worship: the Feast of Breaking the Fast (Eid al-Fitr) and the Feast of Sacrifice (Eid al-Adha). Allah will revive the heart of the one who was awake during these nights, engaged in worship.

97. On holidays, pronounce loudly “takbir” - the praise of Allah. The hadith says: “Decorate the holiday by reading takbir.”

98. If possible, slaughter an animal for yourself and your family members on the day of the Feast of Sacrifice. The sacrificial animal that you cut for yourself, cut it with your own hands, and if not, then at least stand next to the one who cuts it. On the Day of Sacrifice, there is no more honorable act than sacrifice, and the one who slaughters an animal will have as many good deeds recorded as the number of hairs on the body of the sacrificial animal.

99. Distribute the entire meat of the sacrificial animal to the poor and needy, leaving a few pieces for yourself.

100. Cut the sacrificial animal with a sharp knife, felling it carefully, gently and quickly. The hadith says: “ Cut the animal beautifully and lead it to the place of sacrifice gently, politely».

101. If possible, hurry to complete the obligatory pilgrimage to Mecca - Hajj. The hadith reads: " Whoever, having the opportunity, does not perform the Hajj, let him die, if he wants, as a Jew, or if he wants, as a Christian.».

102. Perform the minor pilgrimage (umrah) in the month of Ramadan. Umrah performed in the month of Ramadan is equivalent to the Hajj performed with the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him!).

103. Protect the goods of those who travel with you, help them, provide services. The hadith says that a person who is in the service of people, fulfilling their needs, is their master.

104. Help those who spread Islam and those who protect the land and property of Muslims, show respect to them. The one who helps the one who spreads Islam will receive the same reward as the last one.

105. Ask Allah to grant you death on His path. Anyone who sincerely asks the Almighty for the death of a martyr, even if he dies in bed, will receive a reward equivalent to the reward of the martyr.

106. Teach your children how to perform prayer correctly, fasting, reading the Koran, performing obligatory rituals of religion, and Sharia ethics. Parents and guardians of children are required to teach them the rules of Shariah, starting from the age of seven.

107. For the purpose of exalting Allah, bring and maintain cleanliness when preparing to read the Quran, and teach others the same. To read the Koran means to honor the Almighty.

108. Learn to read the Koran correctly in a beautiful voice, observing the necessary etiquette when reading, and teach all this to others. The hadith says: “The best of you is the one who studied the Quran and taught it to others.” And only through observing etiquette can a person achieve true happiness.

110. Always remember Allah loudly and silently. The Almighty is with His servant while he remembers the Creator.

111. In all meetings, guard your tongue from slander, slander and useless talk. Most people go to Hell because of sins of the tongue.

112. Before going to bed, reading the Koran and starting any useful, good deed, say “AgIuzu billya mina-shschaytIani-rrajim” (“I resort to the help of Allah against the machinations of the damned shaitan!”) and then “Bismillagyi-rrakhImani-rrakhIim” (“With in the name of Allah, Merciful in this world to everyone, and in the next world only to believers!”). Every good deed that begins with the utterance of “AgIuzu” and “Bismillah!” is blessed and protected from Shaitan.

113. If you are overcome by insomnia, read the prayer and surahs of the Koran prescribed by Sharia. " Ask Allah for help in everything", says the hadith.

114. Before eating and after eating, when entering and leaving the house, read the appropriate prayers. " Prayer is the heart of worship and the weapon of believers“- says the hadith of the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him!).

115. Ask Allah for forgiveness of sins day and night, and say istighfar often. Repent especially diligently after each sinful act. Even the Prophet himself (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him!) repented 70-100 times during the day, pronouncing Istighfar. “Astagfirullah!” means: “I ask You for forgiveness of my sins, O Allah!”

116. Have a good opinion of the Creator, and do not lose hope in the mercy of Allah. Trust that He will give you what you ask for. “I will be towards My servant as he thinks about Me,” says the Almighty.

117. If possible, ask Allah by reading the prayers given in the Quran and Hadith, but do not read prayers that you have invented yourself. The Koran and Hadith teach how and what to ask from Allah.

118. When asking something from Allah, always begin by praising the Creator and blessing His Messenger (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him!). A prayer, at the beginning and at the end of which a person praised the Almighty and blessed His Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him!), does not remain unanswered.

119. If you ask for something very important, ask on Friday, in the last third of the night, after the obligatory prayers and at other times when prayer is accepted. A prayer read at the specified time is accepted by the Almighty.

120. Bless the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) many times. Anyone who often blesses the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him!) has his sins forgiven and his worries and worries eased. We will talk further about the value of the blessing of the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him!), if it is the will of Allah.

121. Preach among the brothers in faith who do not spend their lives in worship the correct way of life and encourage them to acquire their livelihood in a permitted way. Allah loves a capable believer who seeks his livelihood in a permitted way and with pure intention.

122. In search of food, get up and go about your business early in the morning. “O Allah, grant grace to my community in what they do early in the morning!” says the prayer of the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him!) for us.

123. Get rid of character traits and behavior that lead to deprivation of benefits, such as: adultery, envy, arrogance, arrogance, sleeping after morning prayer and others. The benefit that the Almighty, in his anger, deprived us of, cannot be returned just like that.

124. Seek a means of livelihood without omitting prayers or fasting, without exposing others to violence, without greed, beautifully. We will definitely receive the destiny predetermined for us by Allah in full, therefore, it is not typical for a reasonable person to destroy our eternal life while being busy arranging our mortal life.

125. Try to purchase only permitted products. After all, the basis of all worship is the consumption of lawful food, and flesh increased on the body by consuming unlawful food is worthy of the fire of Hell.

126. Pay attention to what you received from worldly property, how was it acquired: permissible or forbidden? What is permitted illuminates the heart, it serves as the reason for accepting the prayer to the Almighty.

127. When buying or selling something, lending or demanding back what was borrowed, always be gentle, do not stubbornly insist on your own, thinking only about your gain. For someone who shows mercy and gentleness in such situations, the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him!) in his supplication asked for the mercy of Allah.

128. If a buyer comes to you sad, regretting the purchase and wanting to terminate the trade contract and return the goods back, satisfy his request. A merchant who terminates a contract in order to satisfy the buyer will be forgiven by the Almighty on the Day of Judgment for the mistakes he made in trading.

129. Be honest in trading, do not hide the shortcomings and the real price of the goods. There is no need to swear in the name of Allah for the sake of worldly property. Do not weigh or measure the buyer. Islam is based on honesty, integrity and guidance. " The one who deceives is not one of us“- says the hadith of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him!).

130. Convince a fellow trader to be honest in the sale. A fair trader on the Day of Judgment will be resurrected along with the prophets, the truthful ones (siddiquns) and the martyrs.

131. Without delay, pay your debts as soon as the opportunity arises, and if you do not have the opportunity, have the pure intention to pay when the opportunity arises. The hadith says: “If someone from my community fell into debt and tried his best to pay it off, but then died without being able to repay the debt, then I will help him.”

132. If the deceased left a will that complies with Shariah, then execute it as quickly as possible. Negligent attitude towards the execution of a will is one of the great sins.

133. In all important matters, in difficult situations or if you are in debt, always turn to Allah and ask Him for help. The beloved Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him!) taught Muslims, when faced with troubles and difficulties, to turn to Allah and ask Him for help.

134. Exalt and honor learned men, righteous people (avliya), pious people, love and respect them. Only hypocrites show disrespect for such people.

135. Fulfill your duty and responsibilities to parents and children, neighbors and colleagues, comrades and other people, always be faithful to duty. “Fulfill each person's respective rights,” says the hadith.

136. Don’t direct your gaze at the beauties of the world, especially don’t look at the charms of women. On the Day of Judgment there will be no eyes that do not cry, except those that guarded against looking at the forbidden.

137. If possible, let a man get married, and a woman get married (that is, let him prefer marriage to remaining a widow). " Marriage is my path, whoever turns away from my path is not one of us", said the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him!).

138. Choose a woman who can bear children and loves her husband. " You marry fertile women who love their husbands“- said the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him!).

139. Be merciful to the servants of Allah, maintain justice and equality towards them, and reject violence. If we show mercy to others, then the Almighty will also have mercy on us.

140. Provide children, wives and the entire family with permissible means of subsistence, being patient with the difficulties and torments that come from them. For money spent on his family, a person is given the same reward as for voluntary alms. In addition, the head of the family is obliged to protect family members from the fire of Hell.

141. Give children beautiful names approved by Shariah, replace bad names with good ones. “On the Day of Judgment you will be called by your names and the names of your parents, so give your children beautiful names,” says the hadith of the Prophet of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him!).

142. Be satisfied with the predestination and will of Allah, when, for example, family members have died - put satisfaction with Allah’s decision in first place. If someone’s two or three children died, and he showed satisfaction with the predestination of Allah, then these children will definitely admit such a person to Paradise.

143. Try to cleanse your heart of bad character traits by entering under the spiritual education of a true sheikh. A person who has cleansed his heart of bad moral qualities will find happiness in this and the other world.

144. When receiving the blessings of life, remember Allah, express gratitude to Him, and do not consider yourself deserving these blessings. To those who express gratitude, the Almighty exaggerates His benefits, but the benefits of the Creator are innumerable.

145. Encourage your wives to wear modest clothing that conforms to Sharia law. Most women go to Hell because of gold, silk, that is, because of the love of worldly beauties.

146. Wear white clothes that cover your body from top to bottom. The clothes that the Almighty loves most are white.

147. Do not strive to wear luxurious, elaborate clothes; be content with simple and modest clothes. A person who, seeing himself insignificant before the Almighty, did not put on exquisite, expensive clothes, will be dressed by the Creator in beautiful heavenly clothes.

148. Distribute unnecessary clothes for yourself and your family to the poor, orphans and the needy, regardless of whether they are new or old. As long as a poor person wears clothes donated by someone, the giver will be under the protection of the Almighty.

149. Keep the white hair in your beard, do not dye it black or remove it. Gray hair is the radiance (nur) of a Muslim.

150. Paint your eyes with antimony every night before going to bed. This helps improve vision.

151. Before eating food and water, always say “Bismillah!” Anything eaten without pronouncing the name of Allah over it is like carrion.

152. Never eat food greedily. " You do not eat from the middle (of the bowl), but eat from the edges to receive grace", says the hadith.

153. Be content with food as a seasoning for bread, even with vinegar or vegetable oil, that is, with what you have. After all, the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him!) said three times: “ How wonderful vinegar is as a seasoning!" Vegetable oil is also often praised in the hadiths of the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him!).

154. Study how the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) behaved at meals, and follow him in this. For example, eat and drink only with your right hand, wash your hands before and after eating, eat in moderation, put a small piece of food in your mouth and chew it well before swallowing, say a prayer after eating, use three fingers when eating , remember that this is the blessing of Allah that He has endowed you with, eat with the intention that the food will give you strength to worship Allah, etc. It is in imitation of the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him!) that grace is found in everything.

155. Eat meals with your family. The more hands reach for food, the more grace there is.

156. After eating with your hands, lick your fingers. The hadith says that there is grace in this.

157. Before every meal and drink, even before putting each piece of food into your mouth, say “Bismillah!”, Then praise Allah by saying “Al-HIamdu lillag!” Allah is pleased with His servant who does this before and after eating.

158. Both before eating and after eating, wash your hands and be in a state of ablution. Washing your hands before eating eliminates want and poverty, and washing your hands after eating serves as atonement for minor sins.

159. Convince leaders and officials to be merciful to people, to be fair and truthful. “You also help the oppressor - after all, helping him is expressed in preventing him from committing violence,” says the hadith.

160. Help the oppressed, the insulted and the victims of violence. The hadith says that we should help the oppressed by protecting him from the violence of others.

161. Do not speak out against rapists or rulers, do not shout at them, but ask Allah for protection from their evil and harm. “When you are led by oppressive rulers, ask Allah to force them to do good to you,” says the hadith.

162. When visiting rapists and tyrants in order to instruct them, beware of the forbidden and doubtful things that come from them. Anyone who goes to the rulers, harboring the hope of finding something from their wealth, falls into confusion.

163. Be merciful to all of Allah’s creatures to the extent and within the limits that Sharia law requires of us. To the one who is merciful, merciful and the Most High.

164. Convince the king or leader to choose a clean, honest vizier or deputy. When Allah loves the leader (king, leader), He gives him a devoted deputy.

165. Command what is good and forbid what is evil (within the framework of Sharia). When Jews and Christians stopped commanding what was good and forbidding what was bad, the Almighty cursed them.

166. Keep secret the faults and shortcomings of Muslims, especially sins that are indecent to make public. But if someone has shortcomings that pose a threat to society and specific people, in order to protect them, if necessary, his shortcomings can be made public, but not for the purpose of humiliation, but for the purpose of warning.

167. Help the leader who establishes Sharia order, the parents who teach their children Islamic etiquette, and the teachers. Establishing Sharia law on earth in one day is better than continuous rain for forty days.

168. Tell sinful people about the importance and value of repentance, instill in them hope for salvation. The person who repents and the one who calls people to this are the beloved slaves of Allah.

169. Protect the genitals, as well as the eyes and all the organs of the body from the forbidden. Try to reconcile brothers in faith, even if there is blood feud between them, invite them to forgive their blood brother, telling them about Allah’s reward for this. The one who forgives another for the sake of Allah will be exalted by the Almighty in both worlds.

170. Show obedience to your parents, do good for them, strengthen and maintain family ties, and encourage others to do all this. For those who do this, the Almighty prolongs life and increases worldly blessings.

171. Take care of orphans, be merciful to them, love the poor. " The one who cares for the orphan and I in Paradise - we will be together like these two fingers“- said in the hadith of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him!).

172. Show high respect to the guest and show him hospitality. " Let the one who believes in Allah and the Day of Judgment honor his guest“, - commanded in the hadith.

173. Engage in field farming and gardening, grow fruit trees. This is also a great charity that benefits us even after death.

174. Be generous, especially in the month of Ramadan, try to give out as much alms as possible. Generosity is one of the trees of paradise, the branches of which hang in this world, and whoever holds on to this branch will lead to Paradise.

175. Help Muslims in need, always try to instill joy in their hearts. Bringing joy to the hearts of Muslims is one of the most beneficial deeds.

176. Truly be ashamed of the Almighty (protecting your ears, eyes, tongue, belly and genitals from sinful things). Shyness is also one of the branches of faith.

177. Okay, treat people decently. After all, virtue contains all the blessings of this and the other worlds.

178. Learn to be pleasant, eloquent and sociable with people. A look on the face of a brother in faith with contentment and a beautiful word spoken to him is also alms.

179. Constantly try to remember Allah, remember that He sees you all the time, so that you do not disobey, do not go astray and behave delicately and ethically. Allah loves delicacy, politeness, deliberation and leisure in all matters.

180. Greet others and give them salam. Greeting each other (salaam) and beautiful, sweet speech lead to the acquisition of Paradise and the atonement of sins.

181. When meeting a Muslim, shake his hand. When two Muslims meet and, having greeted each other, shake hands, their sins fall from them just as leaves fall from trees.

182. Separate yourself from people for the sake of performing worship (without participating in bad gatherings) and encourage others to do the same. The best Muslim, after the one who fights in the path of Allah, is the one who, having distanced himself from people, is constantly busy with worship.

183. Do not get angry because of something worldly, and even if you are angry, then swallow your anger, do not give it free rein and extinguish it. The most beloved thing for Allah that a person swallows is the anger he swallows.

184. Always strive to reconcile Muslims and solve problems that have arisen between them peacefully. Reconciling people is more honorable than performing prayers, observing fasts, and giving donations.

185. If you hear that a brother in faith is being blasphemed, protect him from slander, slander and reproaches. Allah has taken upon Himself protection from the fire of Hell for a person who protects the honor and dignity of his brother in faith, not allowing others to speak ill of him.

186. Always try to avoid useless conversation. Sins of the tongue plunge people into hellfire.

187. Try to cleanse your heart of envy, gloating and enmity. The most dear person to the Almighty is the one in whose heart, God-fearing, pure and sincere, does not contain treachery, envy, or enmity.

188. Do not show pride in front of your brothers in faith, be simple and modest with them. The Almighty will certainly exalt the one who chose modesty and humiliation of himself.

189. Be honest and just in both words and deeds, both before Allah and before people. Honesty in conversation and justice lead a person to goodness, and goodness leads to Paradise.

190. Remove thorns, stones and other obstacles from the road. After all, the hadith says: “ I saw one man in Paradise, drowning in the blessings of Paradise, and he achieved this because he cut down one tree that grew in the middle of the road and was disturbing the Muslims».

191. Kill snakes, lizards, mad dogs, rats and other harmful animals. The one who kills a snake is recorded with seven good deeds, and the one who kills other harmful animals is recorded with a corresponding reward.

192. Be faithful to the concluded agreement. Deception, violation of contract and failure to justify trust are qualities characteristic of a hypocrite.

193. Love the Almighty, love the one whom Allah loves, and hate the one whom He hates, let your anger and contentment be only for the sake of Allah. Loving and hating someone for the sake of Allah are qualities that come from faith.

194. Choose as a companion or comrade a righteous person who is faithful to his duty to Allah and people. A righteous friend is like a musk seller: either he will sell it to you, or give it to you, or you will simply smell only a pleasant aroma from it.

195. If possible, always sit facing the Qibla. The best sitting position is facing the Qibla.

196. When sitting on a horse, camel (in a plane, car, train, etc.), remember Allah, thank Him and read the appropriate prayer. If someone gets on a vehicle and goes on a journey without mentioning the name of Allah, then the Shaitan will get on and go with him.

197. When traveling at night, wherever you stop for the night, perform at least two sunnah prayers. If you go on a journey at night, the journey will be shortened, and it is sunnah to perform two rak'ah prayers when you stop.

198. Every time you rise from a stopping place, say: “AgIuzu bikalimati-llagyi-tammati min sharri ma halyaka.” Nothing will harm the one who reads this prayer until he leaves this place.

199. If the vehicle you are traveling in collides with something, say “Bismillah!” If you say this, then Satan is humiliated, otherwise he is proud.

200. Always read a good prayer in secret to your brothers in faith. If someone secretly reads a prayer to his brother in faith, then the angels ask the same to the reader.

201. If you fall ill in a foreign land, wish for the death of the martyr there. The heart of a person who dies in a foreign land is broken, but Allah is with those whose hearts are broken for His sake.

202. Read the appropriate prayer indicated by the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him!) after speaking about sinful things in a meeting. Hurry to repent after sinful deeds. Every person makes many mistakes and errors, and the best of those who make mistakes is the one who repents every time he sins. He who repents of sins is the favorite of the Almighty.

203. Be diligent in worshiping Allah, especially after forty years. The Almighty says: “ O son of Adam! Be busy worshiping Me and I will fill your heart with radiance and faith».

204. In bad times, try to preserve the best character traits in yourself, perform good deeds, and encourage your brothers in faith to do the same. Turning to worship in troubled times is like migrating (hijra) to the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him!).

205. No matter how small a good deed may seem, try to do it constantly. The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him!) loved an act that was performed constantly, no matter how insignificant it may seem.

206. Love poverty, love the poor and needy, respect and exalt them. The hadith says: “When I looked into Paradise, I found that most of its inhabitants were poor and needy.”

207. Renounce worldly things in your heart. Even if your hands are busy with worldly things, do not tie your heart to it, do not love it. The Almighty loves a slave who does not harbor long worldly aspirations and hopes.

208. Eat only when you are hungry, and stop eating when you are not yet full. A person who does not starve has a hardened heart, and a hard-hearted person does not cry out of fear of Allah.

209. Do things that remind you of death. The hadith says: “ Be in this world as a stranger or as a stranger».

210. Fear the wrath of the Almighty. The one who shed tears, fearing Allah and remembering Him, on the Day of Judgment will be under the shadow of Arsh.

211. Always have a good opinion of Allah and do not lose hope in Him. The Almighty says: “I am towards My servant as he thinks about Me.”

212. Be aware of your weakness, ask Allah for health, peace and security in both worlds and forgiveness of sins. The best prayer is to ask Allah for health and safety in both worlds.

213. Stay close to people who have suffered misfortune, be sociable with the sick and disabled, so that you realize the significance of the health that Allah has given you. Seeing the difficult condition of such people, it is necessary to express gratitude to the Almighty.

214. Be patient in passing troubles and encourage others to be patient. Allah has not given His servant a better blessing than patience. Patience is half of faith.

215. Heal yourself and others by reciting the names of Allah and the prayers of the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him!). This is what the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) taught us.

216. Perform bloodletting if you have a headache due to blood tension. Anyone who had a headache, the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him!) ordered: “Do bloodletting!”

217. Visit the sick and ask them to say a prayer for us. “Visit the sick, ask them to pray for you, for their prayer is accepted and their sin is forgiven,” says the hadith.

218. When you come to a sick person, place your hand on his head or on the sore spot and read him the prayer indicated by Shariah. This is what the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) did.

219. Write a will in advance, but do not write it to the detriment of the heirs. Having at least a small property, sufficient to be indicated in a will, it is not appropriate for a Muslim to spend even two days without it.

220. Instill in a person who is near death the love of meeting the Almighty. For example, say: “If you are destined to leave this mortal world due to this disease, you will meet the most merciful Allah,” etc. If a slave wants to meet with the Almighty, then Allah also wants to meet with His slave.

221. When a loved one dies, give as much praise to Allah as possible and say as often as possible: “Inna lillagyi wa inna ilaygyi-rrajigIun.” For those who, reading these words, show patience, there will be great joy from the Almighty, and the mercy of the Creator will descend upon him.

222. Perform ablutions for the deceased, wrap them in a shroud, and dig a grave for them. The one who washed the deceased will be cleansed of sins, as if on the day when his mother gave birth to him. Allah will dress the one who wrapped him in a shroud in heavenly clothes; and the one who dug the grave of the deceased will receive a reward as if he had given him shelter in his home in this world before the Day of Judgment.

223. Accompany the body of a deceased Muslim to the grave, stand at the grave during his funeral. The person who performed prayer for the repose of the soul of the deceased, accompanied him on his last journey and stood near his grave until the end of the funeral will be recorded a good reward equal to two mountains of Uhud.

224. When a Muslim dies, announce his death so that as many people as possible can come to the funeral prayer for the deceased. If forty or a hundred people pray for the repose of the soul of the deceased, standing in three rows, then the Almighty will definitely accept their intercession for the deceased.

225. Express your condolences to the relatives and friends of the deceased, call on them to be patient, make a prayer for forgiveness of the sins of the deceased. The person who expressed condolences to the one who suffered misfortune will receive the same reward as the last one.

226. Do not keep a dog in the house unless absolutely necessary. Anyone who keeps a dog in his house not to protect the house or animals or for hunting, the reward for good deeds is reduced daily by an amount equal to two mountains of Uhud.

227. Don’t go on a trip without a companion. It is said that whoever goes on a journey alone at night will suffer misfortune.

228. Do not allow wives to go anywhere without being accompanied by a mahram (father, husband, son). A woman is forbidden to travel without a mahram.

229. Don’t move away from your comrades on the road, don’t sleep on the way, don’t allow your children to go out in the evening. This is the time when the devils are rampant.

230. Don't be too concerned about the wealth of this world. For someone who is constantly concerned about worldly wealth, property and work become unusable, and he is always overcome by a feeling of poverty and poverty.

231. Do not allow love for the mortal world to strengthen in your heart, do not try to get ahead of others in worldly affairs. Love for worldly things is the basis of all bad things, all mistakes.

232. Do not desire death for yourself except for the religion of Allah. The hadith says: “Do not wish to die because of worldly troubles and misfortunes.”

233. Do not treat writing a will carelessly or superficially. Anyone who dies without leaving a will will not be allowed to speak in the grave.

234. Hurry to bury the deceased, for the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) commanded so.

235. Visit the graves of your dead and encourage others to do the same. “Visit the graves of the dead, it will remind you of the other world,” says the hadith of the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him!).

236. Prepare for the trials of the Day of Judgment by enriching your life with good deeds. The amount of heavenly blessings and the severity of hellish torment depend on ourselves.

237. Be patient when Allah sends troubles upon you. Having seen on the Day of Judgment the extent to which the Almighty bestows upon those who have experienced troubles in this world, people in the next world will think and wish: “I would spend my whole life from the day of the creation of the world until the onset of the End of the World, enduring such trials and torments as you feel when They cut the body with scissors!”

238. Be content with what Allah has given you. True wealth is the wealth of the soul.

239. Remember death often. This helps to increase good deeds and decrease love for worldly things.

240. Behave modestly, calmly and without any pride. Allah humiliates the proud and exalts the humble.

241. Show mercy to the inhabitants of the earth, in particular to weak people and animals. If you show mercy to those on earth, Allah will also have mercy on you.

242. Do good and benefit the people of Allah. He who brings more benefit to the people is honored before the Almighty.

243. Treat your wife and household kindly. The best of men is the one who treats his wives and children well.

244. If possible, help someone in need of help. While a servant of Allah helps his brother in faith, the Almighty also supports him.

245. If you are invited to visit or to a wedding that complies with Shariah norms, then accept the invitation. Anyone who unreasonably refused to accept the invitation disobeyed the Almighty and His Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him!).

246. Honor your elders, show mercy to your younger ones. “Whoever does not respect the elders and does not show mercy to the younger ones is not one of us,” said the beloved Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him!).

247. Fulfill the needs of Muslims. If you fulfill the needs of Muslims, the Almighty will fulfill your needs in this and the other world.

248. Make a good prayer for your brother in faith, even if he is far from you. The angels will ask that the Almighty grant you the same thing that you asked for your brother.

249. Ask for forgiveness of sins of all Muslim brothers and sisters. Allah will write down for you good deeds equal to the number of these Muslims.

250. Honor your neighbor, patiently endure the harm that comes from him. “Whoever believes in Allah and the Day of Judgment, let him honor his neighbor,” the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) told us!

251. Have a beautiful, good speech with people, spread greetings (salaam), be happy, feed the hungry and needy, get up at night and perform prayers. Following these instructions, beautiful palaces are erected and decorated in Paradise.

252. Wish for your brother in faith what you wish for yourself, and do not wish for him what you do not wish for yourself. This is a sign of the perfection of faith.

253. Treat people kindly, be virtuous. The most significant good deed that is put on the scales on the Day of Judgment is virtue and good behavior.

254. If you get angry, then immediately swallow it, extinguish your anger. Of all that a person swallows, the most pleasing to Allah is for him to swallow his anger.

255. Love the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him!), his companions, Allah’s favorites - awliya, sheikhs, theologians, imams-leaders of Muslims and all righteous, pious people. On the Day of Judgment, a person will stand with those whom he loved in this world.

Almost one and a half thousand years ago, a ray of light illuminated the world, drowning in the darkness of ignorance. A ray that illuminated the path and dispelled the darkness, freeing people from worshiping one another to worship the Lord of the worlds. Allah says in the Quran (meaning): “Alif. Lam. Ra. We have sent down the Scripture to you so that you will lead people, with the permission of their Lord, from darkness to light - to the path of the Mighty, the Praiseworthy" (Sura Ibrahim, verse 1).

The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) came to people one and a half thousand years ago to establish the last Sharia of Allah Almighty, which will answer all questions and requests of people until the Day of Judgment. Allah says (meaning): “Today I have perfected your religion for you, completed My mercy on you and approved Islam for you as a religion” (Sura “Meal”, verse 3). Fair, responsible, intelligent, kind, gentle, brave, strong - the best of the people who have ever inhabited the planet - he built a society and a state the likes of which the world has never seen before and will never see again.

Allah says about him (meaning): "We sent you only as a mercy to the worlds"(Surah Prophets, verse 107). Addressing His Messenger, Allah says (meaning): “Truly, your character is excellent!”

Intellectual explosion

If we turn to history, we will see that unremarkable sultry deserts one and a half thousand years ago showed the world a great civilization, stretching from China to the Atlantic. Arab society, which did not play any serious role in the historical arena, raised science and culture in a way that no one had ever raised them. Based on the words and actions of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him), Islamic jurists built a perfect legal system, the beauty and depth of which has not yet been comprehended and appreciated by humanity. European orientalists just throw up their hands in amazement, exclaiming: “This is a great right, which the great minds behind it wanted to attribute to the Koran and Sunnah Muhammad! But that's just what they want to believe. In fact, the opposite is true: the Quran and Sunnah gave society the most powerful scientific impetus in the history of mankind, after which the world saw not only Islamic law, but also algebra, geometry, physics, chemistry, astronomy, medicine... on a completely new level. Allah says (meaning): “Say: “Are those who know and those who do not know equal to each other?”(Sura “Crowds”, verse 9), and the revelation of the Koran - the last scripture of Allah Almighty, containing thousands of commands, which was revealed over 23 years - began with the word “Read!” This command was the foundation on which Islamic civilization rose.

Progress and development of society were the accompanying factors and inevitable consequences of the call of the last Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) on humanity. His main mission was to educate people to refuse to worship the same people, society, passions, idols, Satan... and to turn to the worship of Allah alone - the Lord of the worlds.

Allah says (meaning): “We did not create the heavens and the earth and what is between them in vain.”(Sura Sad, verse 27). Allah also says (meaning): “O people! Verily, We created you from a man and a woman and made you nations and tribes so that you may recognize each other, and the most revered among you before Allah is the most God-fearing. Verily, Allah is Knowing, Knowing” (Sura “Rooms”, verse 13).

Between "best" and "worst"

The messenger mission of Muhammad (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) is indicated by a lot of indisputable evidence. Among them is the obvious difference between the best and the worst person on earth. Everyone knows that the prophets of Allah are among His best creations. Moreover, one of the verses of the Quran, revealed to the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him), says: “Who could be more unjust than the one who slandered Allah or considered His signs a lie? Indeed, the wrongdoers will not prosper" (Surah Scott, verse 21).

Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) was the best of people who raised the best generation that ever existed. The smart and brave, sincere and intelligent followed him, and after a certain time the entire society surrounding him followed him. This society then built a state and a civilization. All those who fought with the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) and were hostile to his call perished, despite the economic, political and military advantage that they had. An indication of this is contained in the shortest surah of the Koran, “Abundance”: “Truly, your hater himself will be childless.”(verse 3). The enemies of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) tried to belittle his dignity by the fact that he did not raise sons who would glorify his family. They did not understand the wisdom of Allah Almighty inherent in this circumstance, Who glorified and exalted the name of his prophet, who became the leader of billions of people, while history did not show any honor to his enemies.

No one can boast that he is a descendant Abu Lahaba or Abu Jahl, because these people ended their lives in enmity with the best call of the best messenger of Allah.

History, by the will of Allah, has clearly demonstrated the power of the words of the Lord of the worlds (meaning): “Who could be more unjust than the one who slandered Allah or considered His signs a lie? Indeed, the wrongdoers will not prosper" (Surah Scott, verse 21). None of those who falsely claimed prophethood in the early days of Islam succeeded. Only the true Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) succeeded, and people easily distinguished between the best and the worst, between the most unjust wrongdoers and the most truthful prophet of the Almighty.

This is not difficult today. Anyone who undertakes an objective study of the life of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him), a reliably preserved history bit by bit, will easily discern in it the great path made by man and dictated by the Lord of the worlds.

Imagine who the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) should be, whose standard morals are collected in thousands of books, according to those who did not recognize him? Could a hypocrite, whose call was based on the greatest deception, speak in the name of the Almighty Lord: (meaning): “Who could be more unjust than the one who slandered Allah or considered His signs a lie? Indeed, the wrongdoers will not succeed” (Sura “Cattle”, verse 21) - to have the character known from the Messenger of Allah, and to educate a highly moral society that changed the course of history? This is counterintuitive.

Attitude towards others

The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) was a gentle and meek person. Where necessary, the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) was tough, but the basis of his character was meekness. He was the most truthful person, and the Quraish (his fellow tribesmen - “islamcivil.ru”) called him a liar. He was the most pious man, and they accused him of impiety. He only wanted the best for people, and they threw stones at him... But all this did not in any way affect his gentleness and meekness.

He never took revenge for himself and always loved to forgive. He was the most generous and wanted the best for the people around him. When Mecca submitted to his call, he entered it with his head bowed. There was not a drop of arrogance in him, and people had confidence in him. Having earned himself an ideal reputation forty years before the prophecy began, he received the nickname "Amin", which means "trusted". Even those who rejected his call continued to trust him implicitly in economic and other matters. In hostility to his call, they could leave their property with him for safekeeping. And the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) never let anyone down. Fleeing from a society that wanted to treacherously kill him, the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) made sure that the property left with him for safekeeping by these same people returned to its owners.

The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) was a great ruler, politician and strategist. Of course, he was led by the Lord of the worlds. However, this did not stop him from becoming a great educator, father, husband, neighbor and friend. He was an example in everything. Therefore, Allah Almighty said about him (meaning): (Sura “Hosts”, verse 21).

The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) took care of his companions in a way that their closest relatives did not care for them. He cared about their marriage, their financial condition, their mood... He noticed who was missing after the battle, when others did not notice. He did not seek to punish people and tried to find an excuse for them, even when they came to him with confessions, wanting to be punished according to the law. He cared about those who committed crimes, caring for their psychological state, forbidding people from vilifying and insulting them.

He was always concerned about his community. He worried about her throughout his life, he worried about her while dying, and he will worry about her on Judgment Day. On the Day when “a man will abandon his brother, his mother and his father, his wife and his sons, for every man will have his own worries to fill” (Surah “Frown”, verses 34-37).

He gained such authority among people that they were ready to carry out any of his orders at the very first minute. For example, men who drank wine, which was an important part of the Arabs’ leisure time, upon learning of its ban, immediately poured out the intoxicating drinks. This event remained in history as the day on which rivers of wine flowed through Medina, and after that the smell of it lingered for a long time. Women reacted in much the same way to the hijab mandate.

Conclusion

We can talk about the personality of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) and the hard-to-imagine fruits of his call. In order not to bore the reader, we will dwell on this, despite the fact that we have not even touched on one of the greatest indications of the truth of his prophecy - the correctness, universality and naturalness of the beliefs and legal norms with which he came. Beliefs and norms on which the new society, state and civilization were built. Beliefs and norms that harmoniously regulate all spheres of human life in the most complete manner, starting with a person’s relationship with Allah Almighty, ending with the economic, family and political spheres.

In conclusion, we would like to remind Muslims of the need to study the biography of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) - the best of the people who ever inhabited the planet, who is an example for each of us. The amazing life of an amazing person who has achieved amazing results will open before us. We will see how the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) treated friends and enemies, how he met joy and sorrow, how he was angry and how he laughed, where he was strict and where he was condescending... Perhaps much of what we are accustomed to consider the true manifestation of Islam was not inherent in the one who was sent to spread it and put it into practice, and vice versa.

“In the Messenger of Allah there was a wonderful example for you, for those who hope in Allah and the Last Day.”(Sura “Hosts”, verse 21).

Abdulmumin Gadzhiev

After the Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) fully communicated the religion of Allah to the people, on the last Wednesday of the month of Safar in the 11th year of Hijri, he was seized with a headache and fell ill. Some time later, on the 12th of the month Rabi ‘ul-Awwal, on Monday, on his birthday, the Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) - the light of our eyes - left this world. This day was the most difficult for Muslims, and even the senior companions, due to the sadness and bitterness of parting with the Beloved (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him), could not restrain themselves. The great companion of the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) ‘Umar bin Khattab, being at a loss, not realizing what was happening, declared that he would cut off the head of anyone who said that the Messenger of Allah had died. “I swear by Allah, the Messenger of Allah is not dead!” - he repeated, his heart pierced by pain. Some of the Companions lost consciousness, others were speechless, and it was as if no one noticed or realized anything. However, Abu Bakr, whom Allah had endowed with strong faith, showing patience, humbly turned to the people and began to console them. He approached the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him), opened his face, kissed him and said: “May my parents be your ransom! You were beautiful during life and remained so after death. I swear by the One in Whose hand my soul is, Allah will never let you taste death twice!” - refuting with these words the statements of those who said that the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) would resurrect and then die again. Then Abu Bakr came out to the people and said to ‘Umar: “Do not rush, O oath-giver!” And when Abu Bakr spoke, ‘Umar sat down, and Abu Bakr praised Allah, thanked Him and said: “Whoever worshiped Muhammad, Muhammad died, and whoever worshiped Allah, verily Allah is the Living and does not die!” And he read the verse in which Allah Almighty, addressing the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him), says that, truly, he is also mortal, like all people. After these words of Abu Bakr, the people began to cry. The Angel of Death ‘Israel (peace be upon him), having come for the soul of the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him), stopped at the threshold of his house, fearing that he would disrespect him, and, having greeted him, asked permission to enter. The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) invited him and asked where the Archangel Jibril (peace be upon him) was. ‘ Israel began to tell the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) that he remained in the lower sky, and that angels came to him to express condolences. Then Jibril came and the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) turned to him: “Is there any good news for me?” “The Gates of Paradise are open for you,” said Jibril (peace be upon him). “That’s not what I wanted to know, is there anything else that can please me?” - All the angels in the seven heavens are ready to receive and meet you. Again the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) asked a question, and this question was about his ummah, about which he was so worried even in his dying moment, and Jibril conveyed to him the good news from Allah: - The first to enter Paradise will be you and your community (ummah). Paradise is forbidden to other communities until they enter it. The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) calmed down, for his dream was fulfilled, and he allowed the angel of death to separate his soul. When the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) was in his death throes, Jibril turned away from him. - Why are you turning away from me, are you really tired of looking at my face? - asked the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him). - O Messenger of Allah and my faithful friend and comforter! “How can I get tired of looking at your face, and who can look at your face when you are in mortal agony,” said Jibril. So the Seal of the Prophets (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him), leaving his beloved companions and family, entrusting his ummah to Allah Almighty, left this mortal world. When he died, his head rested on the chest of his beloved wife ‘Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her), and the blessed Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) was buried in her room in Medina. When the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) fell ill, his financial condition was seven dinars. He, ashamed before Allah Almighty to die, leaving these permitted funds as an inheritance, ordered them to be distributed to those in need. Even when the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) was ill, Jibril came to him for ziyarat. The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) asked him if he would ever come down to earth again after his death. Jibril replied that after the death of the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) he had nothing to do on earth, but added that he would go down ten times to pick up ten jewels. The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) asked him about these jewels and Jibril listed them: The first time he will come down to take away grace (barakat) from the earth, the second time - to take away love for each other from the hearts of people, then compassion, mercy , the fourth time - the justice of rulers, the fifth - the modesty of women, the sixth - the patience of the poor and needy, the seventh time - detachment from the worldly (zudh) and piety, fear of God from the learned Ulama, the eighth - the generosity of rich people, the ninth - the Speech of Allah - the Koran , and the tenth is faith (iman). Today, if you think about it, out of all of the above, only two jewels remain - the Koran and faith.
