About Wudlu before Pray In Islam

Many people does'nt understod about way of wudlu..so i think i must give them how to do :

1. Make the intention for Wudhu, “I am performing Wudhu for Allah (SWT)”.

Rasul-ullah (ﷺ) has said, “Every action is based on Intention, and everyone shall have what he intended”. [Bukhari]
Note: Intention doesn’t need to be uttered verbally or loudly, it is an action of the heart.

2. Recite Bismillahir Rahmanir Raheem بسم اللھ الرحمن الرحیم

Amrah (RA) said, “I asked Ayesha (RA) how was the prayer of Rasul-ullah (ﷺ)? She (RA) said, when he (ﷺ) did Wudhu he would put his hand in the water, say Allah (SWT)’s name and then do Wudhu perfectly”. [Ibn Abi Shaybah, Al-Musannaf i.12]

It is narrated from Rasul-ullah (ﷺ), “There is no Wudhu for the one who did not mention Allah (SWT)’s name during his Wudhu”. [Tirmidhi]

After recording this Hadeeth Imam Tirmidhi (RA) discusses the authenticity, he narrates:

a) Imam Ahmed Ibn Hanbal (RA) said, “I do not know of any Hadeeth on this subject that has a good chain of narration

b) Imam Bukhari (RA)said, “The best thing on the subject is the above-mentioned Hadeeth

Note: Hasan Al-Basri (RA) said, “One should mention Allah (SWT)’s name when one does Wudhu, if one doesn’t Wudhu is still valid”. [Ibn Abi Shaybah, Al-Musannaf i.12]

3. Each action of Wudhu should be started from the right hand side.

Abu Hurairah (RA) reported that Rasul-ullah (ﷺ) said, “When you put on clothing or do Wudhu, begin with the right hand side”. [Abu Dawud, Ibn Majah]

4. Wash both hands up to the wrists three times.
Aws ibn Abi Aws (RA) said, I saw Rasul-ullah (ﷺ) do Wudhu and he washed his hands three times. [Al-Nasai]

5. Use a Miswak to clean the teeth.
Abu Hurairah (RA) reported that Rasul-ullah (ﷺ) said, “Were it not to be hardship on my community, I would have ordered them to clean their teeth for every Wudhu [Bukhari]

Note: It is part of Sunnah that one who has no teeth may use his fingers to clean his mouth.

Aisha (RA) asked: O Messenger of Allah (ﷺ), how should a toothless person cleanse his mouth? He (ﷺ) replied, “By putting his fingers into his mouth”. [Al-Tabarani as cited in Majma al-zawaid]

6. Gargle three times.

Abd Al-Rahman Al-Taymi (RA) reported, “Ibn Abi Mulaykah (RA) was asked about Wudhu. He said, “I saw Uthman ibn Affan (RA) who was asked about Wudhu. He called for water. A vessel was then brought to him. He poured water upon his right hand. Then he put his right hand in the water (to scoop up the water), then he rinsed his mouth three times and cleansed his nose with the water three times and washed his face three times. He then put his hand in the water and took it out; then he wiped his head and ear inside and out only once. The he washed his feet ad said, “Where are those who asked about Wudhu? I saw the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) doing Wudhu like this.””” [Muslim]

Note: In Arabic this is known as Madmadah.

7. Then take water into your nose using the right hand three times and clean with your left hand three times.

Ali (RA) once called for water for Wudhu, rinsed his mouth, snuffed water into his nostrils and blew it out with his left hand. He did this three times and then said, “That is how the Porphet of Allah (ﷺ) used to purify himself. [Nasai]

Abd Khayr (RA) said: “Ali (RA) came upon us, he had already performed Salah. He called for water. We said, “What will he do with water when he has already offered Salah- perhaps to teach us.” A utensil containing water and a washbasin was brought to him. He poured water from the utensil on his right hand and washed both hands three times, rinsed the mouth, and snuffed up water and cleansed the nose three times. He rinsed the mouth and snuffed up water with the same hand by which he took water. Then he washed his face three times ad washed his right hand three times and washed his left hand three times. Then he put his hand in water and wiped his head once. Then he washed his right foot three times and left foot three times. The he said, “Whoever likes to know the Wudhu of Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) then this is how he did it.”” [Abu Dawud]

Note: In Arabic Istinshaq means sniffing water up the nose and Istinthat means blowing it out.

8. Then wash the face three time from the forehead to below the chin and from one earlobe to another.

9. Then make Khilal of the Beard i.e. to pass wet fingers through the beard.

Hassan ibn Bilal narrated, “I saw Ammar ibn Yasir (RA) do Wudhu. Then he ran his fingers through his beard. I asked, “Do you run your fingers through your beard?”. He said “Why should I not do so when I saw the Messenger of Allah Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) run his fingers through his Beard” [Tirmidhi]

10. Then wash the right hand up to the elbow three times.

11. Then wash the left hand up to the elbow three times.

12. Then make Takhleel of the fingers.

Laqit Ibn Sabirah (RA) narrated that Prophet (ﷺ) said, “When you do Wudhu then run your fingers through your other fingers.” [Tirmidhi]

Note: Takhleel means to runs ones fingers through other fingers to ensure that they are properly washed.

13. Then perform Mas’h of the whole head.

Abdullah ibn Zayd (RA) reported, “The Prophet (ﷺ)wiped his entire head with his hands. He started from the front of the head, then moved back and then returned his hands to the front.” [Bukhari]

14. Then wipe the ears inside and outside.
Ali (RA) narrated: “The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) wiped his ears with the same water the he used to wipe his head” [Abu Dawud]

Al-Miqdam Ibn Madikarib (RA) reported: “The Prophet of Allah (SWT) of Allah (ﷺ)wiped his head and his ears, the interior and exterior, while doing Wudhu. He also put his finger inside his ears.” [Abu Dawud]

While describing the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ)’s Wudhu, Abduallah Ibn Abbas (RA) and Al-Rubayyi Bint Muawwidh (RA) narrated, “The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) wiped his head and ears in a single movement.” [Abu Dawud]

15. Then wash the right foot three times up to the ankle and then make Takhleel of the toes.

Laqit Ibn Sabirah (RA) narrated that Prophet (ﷺ) said, “When you do Wudhu then run your fingers through your other fingers.” [Tirmidhi]

Note: Takhleel means to runs ones fingers through other fingers to ensure that they are properly washed.

16. Then wash the left foot three times up to the ankle and then make Takhleel of the toes.

Laqit Ibn Sabirah (RA) narrated that Prophet (ﷺ) said, “When you do Wudhu then run your fingers through your other fingers.” [Tirmidhi]

Note: Takhleel means to runs ones fingers through other fingers to ensure that they are properly washed.

17.Following duas may be recited after Wudhu for additional rewards:

اشھد ان لا الھ الا اللھ و اشھد ان محمد عبدہ و رسولھI testify that there is no god but Allah (SWT)and that Muhammad (ﷺ) is his slave and Messenger.
اللھم اجعلنی من التوابین واجعلنی من المتطھرین
O Allah! Cause me to be from the amongst the repentant, cause me to be from the pure

Come Fastin With Us

Muslims of the world more thans 1.5 Billion, they celebrate their holiest month of Ramadan every year. Ramadan is the 9th month in the lunar year. During this month, healthy Muslim adults observe Fasting during the daylight hours. Muslim Fasting is a total abstention from eating, drinking, and sexual relations from dawn to dusk for 29 or 30 days of the month of Ramadan. Also, avoiding immoral behavior and anger and showing compassion is part of the requirements of the fasting. of fasting is manifold. Allah (the God Almighty) mentioned in the Holy Book of the Muslims, Quran, that the fasting is prescribed for the believers as it was prescribed for the people before them, so that they may acquire self control and God-consciousness. Therefore, the purpose of the fasting is to develop God-consciousness, self-control, improvement of health by reducing or eliminating impurities from the body, and to become aware of the plight of the poor, hungry, and the sick. Ramadan is a month of spiritual consciousness and high sense of social responsibility. The fulfillment of one's obligations during the month is rewarded by 70 times. Fasting is one of of Islam including Announcement of Faith, Salaat (praying 5 times a day), Zakaat (the right of the poor on the wealth of the financially able), Fasting during the month of Ramadan, and Hajj (once a life time pilgrimage to Kaaba).

It is an obligation on every adult and healthy Muslim to fast during the month of Ramadan. The month of Ramadan is also the month in which the Holy Quran was sent down from 7th level of heaven to the 1st level, from where it was revealed to Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) in piecemeal basis over a period of 23 years. It is a very joyous occasion for the Muslims of the world. Muslims fast during the day and pray and read Quran during the part of the night. There is a special night called, which is mentioned in the Quran, as a night of mercy and light and worshiping during this night is better than 1,000 months. During this night Quran was sent to the 1st level of heaven. Allah (the God Almighty) send down special angels during this night to pray for the mercy of Allah (the God Almighty) and salvation for the believers.

Unlike common calendar, which is Solar based, Islamic calendar is Lunar based. It does not mean that Muslims worship moon. It is simply another way to count days of the month and the year. Like all Islamic months, Ramadan, the 9th lunar month, begins after sighting Crescent, and not the birth of the new moon. All healthy Muslim adult including homemakers, school-going kids around the age of 13, factory workers, businessmen and others among them will be fasting. Muslim get up very early to take their sahoor, a pre-dawn meal before starting their fast.

At the completion of month of Fasting, Muslims all over the world celebrate their holiday a true thanksgiving for a Muslim believer for having the opportunity to obey Allah (the God Almighty) by observing Fasting. It is celebrated on the 1st day of 10th lunar month, Shawwaal. The holiday begins with Muslims putting on their best preferably new clothes and going to the Eid congregation. Eid congregations are very large gathering of Muslim men, women and children across the world. Afterwards, people greet each other with hugs and handshakes. The children receive gifts. After the congregation, Muslims visit each other at their homes and hold lunches or dinners for family and friends.

Thanks a lot

About Islamic Prophet

Allah has sent prophets to every nation throughout history so that they may show their people the Straight Path. Some of these prophets have been granted miracles by the permission of Allah in order to support their Divine message. Prophets Ibrahim, Musa and Isa were just some of the messengers to whom Allah granted miracles and these are outlined in the Qur'an.

Similarly, the Prophet Muhammad was also granted miracles throughout his life for people to see and learn from, by Allah's permission. Many of these are well-known such as the Night Journey and Ascent through the Heavens. Others are less well-known such as the flowing of water from the fingers of the Prophet.

This book explores the nature of a miracle, the reasons why miracles are granted to prophets and takes a detailed look at the miracles granted to the Prophet Muhammad drawing from the authentic sources of the Qur'an and Sunnah.

About Arabic Language

2012-04-14T09:32:00.002-07:00

History of Arabic Language

If you ask to ask what a arabic language, i will answer “Arabic belongs to the Semitic language family. The members of this family have a recorded history going back thousands of years--one of the most extensive continuous archives of documents belonging to any human language group. The Semitic languages eventually took root and flourished in the Mediterranean Basin area, especially in the Tigris-Euphrates river basin and in the coastal areas of the Levant, but where the home area of "proto-Semitic" was located is still the object of dispute among scholars. Once, the Arabian Peninsula was thought to have been the "cradle" of proto-Semitic, but nowadays many scholars advocate the view that it originated somewhere in East Africa, probably in the area of Somalia/Ethiopia. Interestingly, both these areas are now dominated linguistically by the two youngest members of the Semitic language family: Arabic and Amharic, both of which emerged in the mid-fourth century C.E.

The swift emergence and spread of Arabic and Amharic illustrates what seems to be a particularly notable characteristic of the Semitic language family: as new members of the group emerge, they tend to assimilate their parent languages quite completely. This would account for the fact that so many members of the group have disappeared completely over the centuries or have become fossilized languages often limited to mainly religious contexts, no longer part of the speech of daily life. This assimilative power was certainly a factor in the spread of Arabic, which completely displaced its predecessors after only a few hundred years in the area where Arabic speakers had become politically dominant . Thus all the South Arabian languages and Aramaic, in all its varied dialectical forms, became to all intents and purposes "dead" languages very soon after the emergence of Islam in the seventh century C.E. ² Arabic even did the same thing to the Hamitic³ language of Coptic, which was the direct descendent of Pharaonic Egyptian and still an important literary and cultural language at the time of the Islamic conquest. Today it survives only as the religious language of the Coptic Christian community of Egypt, who otherwise use Arabic in all spheres of their everyday lives.

In contrast, when Arabic has contested ground with Indo-European languages or members of other distant linguistic families, like Turkish (which is a member of the Altaic family of languages that originated in central Mongolia), its record has not been nearly so successful. For example, when Arabic was introduced into the Iranian Plateau after the fall of the Sassanian Empire to the Arab armies in the 630s C.E., it seemed to overwhelmingly dominate the Indo-European Persianate languages of the region for a while. But by the late 900s, a revitalized form of the Old Persian (Pahlavi) language had decisively re-emerged as not only a spoken language, but also a vehicle for government transactions and literary culture as well. This "new" Persian has remained dominant in this geographical region throughout succeeding centuries and the modern Persian spoken today in Iran is virtually identical with it.

Arabic was not the first Semitic language to exhibit this tendency to completely overwhelm its predecessors. Aramaic, the language of various peoples living in Syria and upper Mesopotamia, had pioneered this pattern long before, having displaced (though not suddenly and not necessarily at the same time) both the Akkadian language of the people who had ruled the Tigris-Euphrates basin after the Sumerians (who spoke a non-Semitic language), and Hebrew and other Canaanite tongues that had been used along the coastal strip of the Levant.⁴ By the time Jesus was born, for example, the Jews used either the Jewish dialectical version of Aramaic or Greek for most of their writings and in daily life. Similarly, the Aramaic dialect of the city of Edessa, known as Syriac, became the language used by the Christian communities east of Constantinople.

Even as the Aramaic dialects grew to dominate the Levantine areas and became the lingua franca of the Persian empire, in the south--less subject to the unifying pressures of complex imperial systems of government and education--a much more fluid and less textualized language situation prevailed. Old civilizations had arisen on the southern fringe of the Arabian peninsula, built on the profits of trade and commerce in the area, particularly the long-distance incense trade. The succession of sedentary dynasties that controlled this land of "Sheba" (or, more properly, Saba) used different forms of a language usually called now "Old South Arabian" of which the dominant dialect was probably Sabaic. Our main records of these languages comes from inscriptions rather than written documents, so our knowledge of how they first developed and later changed is necessarily sketchy. Farther to the north, a tribal, nomadic lifestyle dominated, and although we have fragmentary epigraphic records of some of the dialects these tribes used, our current knowlege about the actual linguistic situation prevailing in the area is even more incomplete than our knowledge of the South Arabian kingdoms.⁵

Although echoes of the glorious past and great achievements of the Sabeans and other peoples of the south would continue to resonate in the literature of the Arab Muslim world throughout its long history, scholars of Arabic literary history have always focused their attention on the nomadic northern Arabs in their accounts of how this literature arose. The overriding reason for this is a linguistic one: the tongue used throughout the Arab world today, and known as fusha or "Standard Arabic," is the same language used by these northern Arabs, crystallized in its written form in the revelations of the Qur’an as recorded in the early 600s C.E..

Though the major southern language, Sabaic, and Arabic are closely related to one another, they are definitely separate languages, as different as modern-day English and German, and probably just as often mutually unintelligible as not. Sabaic is almost certainly the older of the two languages, being used for inscriptions as early as 600 B.C.E., while the first evidence we have of Arabic as a written language occurs 900 years later, in an inscription dating to 328 C.E. When the two languages mixed and met after the rise of Islam, however, Northern (Mudari) Arabic--backed by the religious authority of the Qur’an--supplanted its older cousin completely as a language of high culture. Sabaic survives today only in isolated pockets of territory where various dialectical versions continue on a purely spoken level. Written communication in the south is all in Mudari Arabic.

Thanks For your attantion

about Hajj

2012-04-14T09:23:00.002-07:00

Lets Go to Macca
Each year in the 12th month of the Islamic calendar, Muslims in Indonesia and around the world begin observing activities associated with the annual Hajj, or pilgrimage to Mecca. Hajj is one of the "five pillars" of the Islamic faith. (The other "pillars" include a declaration of faith, daily prayers, offering regular charity, and fasting during the month of Ramadan.) Hajj activities take place during six days (8^th-13^th) of the Islamic lunar month of Dhul-Hijjah. Pilgrimage is a once-in-a-lifetime obligation for those Muslims who have the physical and financial ability to undertake the journey. It is also a form of worship that involves the entire being: body, mind and soul.

about zakah

2012-04-14T09:19:00.002-07:00

Zakah

one of the five pillars of Islam is zakah, a duty upon every Muslim and the right of the poor and needy. Allah (swt) and His Messenger (saws) inform us that giving zakah not only fulfils this duty and helps those in need, but also purifies one's wealth so that it may continue to grow -- indeed, this is the Arabic meaning of the word 'zakah.

And One of the many benefits of zakah is that it helps provide a form of social justice: a way to redistribute wealth from the better off to those who are less fortunate. For this reason those that are eligible to receive zakah are precisely stipulated unlike the case of general sadaqah.
Almost all of Muslim Hands' work with the poor and needy, including orphans, widows and the disabled involves working directly with those zakah is intended to help.
Paying your zakah through Muslim Hands not only allows you to fulfil your obligations and rest assured your money is being given to those in need and in accordance with Islamic law but also allows you to support our work with some of the planet's poorest people.
Thanks a lot

about windows mobile

2012-04-14T09:14:00.002-07:00

Here we come to tell you about windows mobile... hope this typing can give u knowledge..Now, at this point you are all likely wondering what the title of this article has to do with my little opening rant. Well, because of the meteoric rise in numbers of the second class of people stated above, we have seen a large increase in production of tools to simplify the processes that we carry out in this site. Rooting a device, which can be a rather tedious process depending on how well protected things are has become as simple as opening a batch file that you download from a thread on XDA. However, please do not get me wrong, making things easier has been paramount in allowing humanity to advance to more interesting projects, but as with many of these advancements, there is something to be learned, something that should be taking place inside of the user’s head, creation of neural connections that will allow him or her to later retrieve this knowledge if it ever becomes required for other activities. Sadly, this is not the case due to most processes being automated and the end user simply being interested in the final outcome as previously stated.

Over the last couple of weeks, we have seen some very awesome mods and developments from people who have spent countless hours reading, researching, and risking their investments in the name of science (sort of). One of the most crucial ones was the HBOOT downgrade process for the EVO 3D and the Sensation (I will focus on the 3D one as I am more familiar with it). Out of that thread, if you follow every step as directed by the dev, you will leave with:

A downgraded device capable of flashing radios, roms (without the need of fastboot), kernels, and more;
Some basic command knowledge for Linux;
Experience in flashing images from the bootloader;
Increased Googling skills;
and more

This week we see that there are a few tools that somewhat automate a big chunk of the process, effectively killing the opportunity to learn very valuable information out of the thread. I am not saying that this will make you a developer overnight, but learning bits and pieces of processes like these certainly will aide you in the future. On top of that, if you rely too much on processes like these, what will happen when one of these fail and you end up with a brick? Will you have the necessary know how to fix your device, or even to understand what went wrong? Don’t you think that understanding how things work before proceeding could potentially save you from a quasi-certain catastrophe? Think of it this way, I will release a tool tomorrow that is supposed to give you S-OFF on your device. All you need to do is turn off the PC and boot it back up from MS-DOS and type the following command (having your device connected):

c:\format c:

Then simply reboot your computer. If you had previous knowledge of this, you would understand that I just gave you clear instructions to wipe your computer hard drive as opposed to giving you root on your phone. Did I do this on purpose or simply because I didn’t know what I was doing? Obviously, the example is a tad too obvious, but the point I was trying to illustrate is that tools without knowledge can lead to disaster.

this takes us back to the original title and point of this article. If automation is a thing that eventually will allow us to be more efficient and smarter, why is it that when you look at the general level of knowledge it is much lower than when things were manual? Do we simply need to step back and sit down to read how we got to where we are? If you go by the ethos of our site, the answer is “yes”. You are here because you are interested in learning about development and how to expand the capabilities of your devices and not simply to make your phone “kewl” (thanks kyphur). If you don’t learn the path that you are following, you are likely going to get loss

thanks.
