Simple cake

Salam alaikum.



Sometimes we need to do something fast even if it is a midnight:)) I don't know. But I have experienced such thing. Something to drink with tea. So here is a simple cake for that even if you don't have many ingredients;
3 eggs
1 water cup  sugar
1/2 water cup canola oil
1 water cup milk
1 baking powder
1 vanilla extract
Flour approximately 2.5 water cup
Mix all the ingredients together. It is better to Sift flour. I do it in a pyrex glass baking dish without greasing it. 30 mins at 180 degrees. Additionally, you can add any jam or marmalade between the cake slices.
So, Bon appetit!

Let's fast this month! Muharram-9,10,11

Assalam alaikum, all.

Today In the light of hadiths, we shall read the virtues of fasting in Muharram, inshaaAllah. 




Abu Huraira (Allah be pleased with him) reported Allah’s Messenger (may peace be upon him) as saying: “The most excellent fast after Ramadan is God’s month al-Muharram, and the most excellent prayer after what is prescribed is prayer during the night.” [Sahih Muslim, Book 006, Number 2611]

Narrated 'Aisha(R.A):

(The tribe of) Quraish used to fast on the day of Ashura' in the Pre-lslamic period, and then Allah's Apostle ordered (Muslims) to fast on it till the fasting in the month of Ramadan was prescribed; whereupon the Prophet said, "He who wants to fast (on 'Ashura') may fast, and he who does not want to fast may not fast." (Volume 3, Book 31, Number 117)
Imam At-Tirmidhi mentioned that ibn `Abbas(may Allah be pleased with them both) used to say that we should fast on two days: the 9th and 10th of Muharram to distinguish ourselves from the Jewish community. (At-Tirmidhi) 
Narrated Ibn ‘Abbas: When the Prophet came to Medina, he found (the Jews) fasting on the day of ‘Ashura’ (i.e. 10th of Muharram). They used to say: “This is a great day on which Allah saved Moses and drowned the folk of Pharaoh. Moses observed the fast on this day, as a sign of gratitude to Allah.” The Prophet said, “I am closer to Moses than they.” So, he (PBUH) observed the fast (on that day) and ordered the Muslims to fast on it. [Sahih Bukhari, Volume 4,Book 55, Number 609]
Imam Ahmad ads: “This is the day on which the Ark settled on Mount Joodi, so Noah fasted this day in thanksgiving.”
Ibn ‘Abbas reported that when the Messenger of Allah (may peace be upon him) fasted on the day of ‘Ashura and commanded that it should he observed as a fast, they (his Companions) said to him: Messenger of Allah, it is a day, which the Jews and Christians hold in high esteem. Thereupon the Messenger of Allah (may peace be upon him) said: When the next year comes, God willing, we would observe fast on the 9th But the Messenger of Allah (may peace be upon him) died before the advent of the next year. [Sahih Muslim, Book 006, Number 2528]
Ibn`Abbas quoted the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) as saying, “If I live next year, I shall also fast on the 9th day.” (Musnad Ahmad ibn Hanbal, hadith2002) 

Narrated by Abi Qatada: The prophet was asked about fasting on ‘Ashuraa’ (the 10th of Muharram), he said: “it expiates the previous year (for sins).” (Sahih Muslim)

“This fast is a compensation for the (minor) sins of the past year.” (Muslim)
“One who generously spends on his family on the day of Ashuraa, Allah will increase (his provision) for the whole year.” (Baihaqi)
It is not compulsory to fast 9,10,11 all. But either 9th or 11th days with the day of Ashuraa'. 
So let's take advantage of these days and who knows if we'll be alive next year or not.  Allah gives us so many chances for us to be forgiven. Why not to use this chance?

With love

Who really cares?

Salam alaikum, all.
After reading this maybe many people think they do the same. But some times I see people who intentionally criticise other people in front of the crowd. You know what it means. It means you made him or her feel embarrassed. Maybe you humiliated that person. If you want that person to understand his or her fault then just tell him or her alone. Just you two. And not in a rude way. With respect and clemency.
  And I have read that sometimes awliyas had a talk in a crowd to show that person the right way. It is not the same. They knew how to behave in any situation. But many people don't, including me.
  Sometimes we feel obligation to warn that person in front of everyone. Because that person may be a bad model indeed.Once I came across with comments on YouTube that caught my attention. Somebody commented like 'it is not right to do like this' and lots of comments hailed down on him or her saying, 'who you are saying this, you can't judge' etc etc...it is really interesting for me, is it really 'to judge'? I assume that many people message privately. But what if all protect this 'wrong way'. And mesmerizing comments that cause more inclination to continue.
   So, better not to pass that fine line. Before we should do it In a best way as possible as we can. Because with a little inaccuracy we may get in trouble ourselves. As we may need to ask for forgiveness.
So let's criticise each other with respect, love and care.
Spread love
