23.01.2022 Ummayah bin Makhshi narrates that the Messenger of Allah was sitting with a man who was eating. The man did not mention Allah’s name and he kept eating until there was only one mouthful left. When he raised the food to his mouth he said: In the name of Allah at the beginning and the end. The Prophet laughed and said: The devil was eating with him until he mentioned Allah’s name, at which point the devil vomited up everything that was in his stomach! (Narrated by Abu D...aud) This hadith reminds us of the importance of mentioning Allah’s name before even the smallest and most mundane actions such as dressing, entering and leaving our homes, going to sleep and waking up, and, of course, eating and drinking. The Messenger of Allah taught us the precise etiquette in all of these situations and revealed to us the consequences of neglecting it. When we mention Allah’s name, it acts as a barrier that prevents darkness and evil from entering our lives. Beyond this, it reminds us that only Allah sustains the existence of all things. When we eat, sleep and walk in Allah’s name, those actions take on a new meaning. This is because they are connected to the Divine and are blessed with Allah’s support and care. If, however, we are not conscious of this reality (as is often the case) it is never too late. The key is to return to Allah as soon as we remember. via SeekersGuidance: The Global Islamic Seminary https://bit.ly/2U8nup7

14.01.2022 Standing up for salams is simply a customary expression of love, respect, and rejoicing. Neither standing nor these emotions are wrongand there is nothing prohibited about such standing. This became a norm from the 8th/9th Islamic centuries, and was first performed when the great poet al-Sarsari recited lines of praise of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) in the lesson of Imam Taqi al-Din al-Subki (a great Shafi`i jurist, recognized as a mujtahid). Since then, it has been a widely accepted legal position (if not the predominant, historical, position) that such standing is permitted and praiseworthy. via SeekersGuidance: The Global Islamic Seminary Read more here https://bit.ly/3oRdK0H
