Which act in Islam is the best

Abdullah bin `Amr bin Al-`as (RadhiAllahu 'anhuma) reported:

A man asked the Messenger of Allah (Sallallaahu 'alaihi wasallam): "Which act in Islam is the best?''

He (Sallallaahu 'alaihi wasallam) replied, "To give food, and to greet everyone, whether you know or you do not.''

The greatest ayah (verse) in Quran

Ubayy bin Ka`b (RadhiAllahu 'anhu) reported:

The Messenger of Allah (Sallallaahu 'alaihi wasallam) said: "Abu Mundhir! Do you know which Ayah in Allah's Book is the greatest?''

I replied: "It is `Allah la ilaha illa Huwal-Haiyul-Qayum (Allah! none has the right to be worshipped but He, the Ever Living...)'.'' (Al-Quran - 2 : 255).

Thereupon he (Sallallaahu 'alaihi wasallam) patted me in the chest and said, "Rejoice by this knowledge, O Abu Mundhir!''

[Muslim]


Commentary:
The words cited in the Hadith occur at the beginning of Ayat-ul-Kursi (No. 255 of Surat Al-Baqarah of the Qur'an). The merits mentioned in the Hadith are for the whole Ayah. Ayat-ul-Kursi mentions the Majestic Attributes and Mighty Powers of Allah and is, therefore, very meritorious.

"Rejoice by this knowledge'' means "May this knowledge be a source of respect, honour and benefit to you.'' And knowledge here stands for the knowledge of the Qur'an and Hadith which is certainly a means of success in this world and the Hereafter.

Recite salutations on the Prophet (pbuh) frequently on Friday

Aus bin Aus ( RadhiAllahu 'anhu ) reported:

The Messenger of Allah ( Sallallaahu 'alaihi wasallam ) said:

"Among the best of your days is Friday. On that day pray to Allah to exalt my mention frequently, for your such supplications are presented to me.''

[Abu Dawud].


Commentary:
This Hadith brings forth the following three points:

1. The auspiciousness of time further enhances the merits of virtuous deeds, as is evident from the stress on reciting more and more salutation on the Prophet ( Sallallaahu 'alaihi wasallam ) on Friday.

2. On Jumu`ah, salutation is presented to the Prophet ( Sallallaahu 'alaihi wasallam ). This statement goes to prove that he does not hear salutation of anyone directly, either from near or from far. There is a famous Hadith which says that he hears it from near but this is not "Sahih'' technically. Therefore, the truth of the matter is that he does not hear it directly. It is the angels who convey it to him.

3. The most well-worded  is "Ibrahimi salutation'' because the Prophet ( Sallallaahu 'alaihi wasallam ) himself taught it to his Companions. The salutation is: Allahumma salli `ala Muhammadin wa `ala ali Muhammadin, kama sallaita `ala Ibrahima, wa `ala ali Ibrahima, innaka Hamidun Majeed. Allahumma barik `ala Muhammadin wa `ala ali Muhammadin, kama barakta `ala Ibrahima, wa `ala ali Ibrahima, innaka Hamidun Majeed.

[Muslim]

Commentary:
This Hadith tells us of the excellence of Jumu`ah. Many achievements were made on this day which also go to prove its excellent position in Islam.

Always Remember Allah

An-Nawawi’s Hadith No.19

On the authority of Abdullah bin Abbas (Radhiallahu anhu), who said:

One day I was behind the Prophet (Sallallaahu 'alaihi wasallam) and he said to me:

"O young man, I shall teach you some words [of advice]:

Be mindful of Allah, and Allah will protect you.

Be mindful of Allah, and you will find Him in front of you.

If you ask, ask of Allah;

if you seek help, seek help of Allah.

Know that if the Ummah (nation, group likewise) were to gather together to benefit you with anything, it would benefit you only with something that Allah had already prescribed for you, and that if they gather together to harm you with anything, they would harm you only with something Allah had already prescribed for you.

The pens have been lifted and the pages have dried."

Narrated by Tirmidhi, who said it was a Hasan (fair) and Sahih (sound) Hadith.


In a version other than that of Tirmidhi it reads:

"Be mindful of Allah, you will find Him before you.

Get to know Allah in prosperity and He will know you in adversity.

Know that what has passed you by, was not going to befall you;

and that what has befallen you was not going to pass you by.

And know that help comes with patience,

relief with affliction, and ease with hardship."
