  • Ayaat A Day
    Is the man who follows the good pleasure of Allah like the man who draws on himself the wrath of Allah, and whose abode is in Hell? - A woeful refuge! ~ Surah Al-Imran 3:162

    Hadith A Day 
    On deputing Muaz as governor of Yemen, the Prophet (peace be upon him ) advised him : "Keep away from the life of luxury. God's chosen servants do not lead a life of lease and comfort."
    Imam Ahamed
  • My Sins Block My Dua

    As I sit here alone, the tears rolling down my face

    It is not salt, but pain that I taste

    So, I leave now to go stand before You

    I am helpless and alone, what else can I do?

    I have asked, I have begged but my sins block my du'a

    I will come now still begging, forgive me O Allah

    Forgive me and grant me what it is that I ask

    For me it is impossible but for You a simple task

    I try and I try but I do not succeed

    But I understand and know it is because Your Words I do not heed

    I hear, yes I hear but I do not always obey

    Perhaps, that is why I am destitute, isolated and why You have written that I will be alone this way

    I have no to blame but the person in the mirror I see

    No one else must pay for my sins, no one else, no one else, no one else but me

    So, I stand before You to again beg forgiveness because You said that I can

    You have told us in Your Book that You are Ar-Rahman

    I will ask, I will beg but my sins my block my du'a

    But I will keep asking, forgive me O Allah

  • In the Name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful

    Armored Camel

    She was lying down in her death bed and was passing her last moments of life. She was extremely sad and upset. People around her asked: "you are the daughter of the first caliph and the mother of all believers. Why are you so sad?” She said: "The battle of Jamal has stick like a bone in my throat. I wish I had died before that day or I had been among the forgotten people."(1)

    This feeling of regret was not just before her death. One day, a group of people around Aisha started to talk about the battle of Jamal. She asked them: "Do people still remember that battle?" They replied back: “yes.”

    Aisha said: "I wish I had never joined that battle and I had remained in my house like the rest of prophet's wives.”(2)

    It has also been narrated that whenever she recited the verse: “And [to the wives of the prophet] stay in your houses… "(3), she wept so much that you could see the wetness on her head scarf. (4)

    What battle was the battle of Jamal, in which Aisha, the prophet’s wife got so upset about?

    The foundation of this battle initiated shortly after people had pledged to Imam Ali (PBUH). Some people did not like Amir al-Mu’minin’s (PBUH) justice in distributing the common wealth and assigning rulers to different cities. This aroused their anger. As a result, hatred of Imam Ali grew amongst men like Talha and Zubair. This came especially after they were denied governance to the cities of Basrah and Kufa. Thus, they left Medina with the excuse of pilgrimage of the house of Allah and headed for Mecca.

    On the other hand, many Umayyad members who had received special positions and gotten used to bonuses during the caliphate of Uthman had been cut off from these favors. Therefore, after usurping considerable amount from the common wealth they gathered in Mecca. They grouped with Talha and Zubair and met with Aisha. They used the stolen money from the common wealth and formed an army to take revenge for Uthman’s blood. They then took over the city of Basra. In this battle Aisha was on a camel and the army gathered around her camel as the camel presented their leading flag. Thus, the battle was known as the battle of Jamal (male camel).

    Amir al-Mu’minin (PBUH) went to Basra with his army to finish the uprising. He talked to them and fulfilled his proofs upon them to prevent the war and bloodshed. They did not accept and consequently there was an intense battle between the two groups and eventually the army of Amir al-Mu’minin (PBUH) prevailed. Nonetheless, the war had many horrible consequences which started to show how devastating it had been.

    In the battle of Jamal, there were so many arrows thrown between the two armies until each group ran out of arrows. There were so many spears thrown and so many men killed that the cavalry had to run over the bodies of killed Muslim soldiers. One of the soldiers in the battle narrates: After the battle, whenever I passed the cloth washing neighborhood (Dar al-Waleed) of Basra, the sound of washing sticks reminded me the spears and swords which penetrated the body of soldiers in the Battel of Jamal. (5)

    There have been a number of reports on the count of soldiers killed in action. However, all historians have agreed upon the extremely high number of casualties. For example, Ya’qubi reports the total number of killed soldiers of this battle was over thirty thousand in his history book.

    Indeed, the battle of Jamal caused immense amount of emotional distress and economical loss to Muslims. So many mothers who lost their sons; so many wives who became widows; and so many children who lost their fathers!

    All these losses and injuries took place on only one day at a limited and definite part of the Islamic community.  Nonetheless the damaging domino effects continued for years to come, and affected Muslims and Muslim countries later on. These effects are too much to be measured or calculated. Yes, these were the cause of Umm al-Mu’minin Aisha’s restlessness and anxieties.

    (The above is a selection taken from “The Role of Aisha in Islam” by Late Allamah Murtada Askari (with some changes))

    The Roshd Website commemorates the 10th of Jamadi al-Awwal, the anniversary of Battle of Jamal, the hard exam of Muslims and the advice-giving event at the beginning years of Islam.

    But say not – for any false thing that your tongues may put forth, - “This is lawful, and this is forbidden,” so as to ascribe false things to Allah. For those who ascribe false things to Allah, will never prosper. (In such falsehood) is but a paltry profit; but they will have a most grievous Penalty. ~ Surah An-Nahl 16:116-117

    You have indeed in the Messenger of Allah a beautiful pattern (of conduct) for anyone whose hope is in Allah and the Final Day, and who engages much in the Praise of Allah. ~ Surah Al-Ahzab 33:21

    Hadith a Day.
    If one intends to do a wrong act, God directs angels not to record the same until he actually does it. Once he commits it only a single evil act is then recorded against him . Conversely, as one intends to do a good deed, yet fails to do so, its credited to his account as his good act. If he actually performs a good act, he gets a ten fold reward.
    Imam Muslim
  • Ayaat A Day
    And let not those who covetously withhold of the gifts which Allah has given them of His Grace, think that it is good for them: nay, it will be the worse for them: soon shall the things which they covetously withheld be tied to their necks like a twisted collar, on the Day of Judgment. To Allah belongs the heritage of the heavens and the earth; and Allah is well acquainted with all that you do. ~ Surah Al-Imran
