@Hadithoftheday Hajj
Allah has made hajj compulsory only for those who are financially & physically able to perform hajj

A thread:
Prophet Muhammad ﷺ & his foster mother, Halima Saadia:
When the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ was still an infant, a group of ladies visited Makkah to take the new born babies to the open desert environment as per custom of the town.
Muhammad ﷺ was entrusted to Halima Sadia
Halima Saadia, from Banu Saad tribe, was that fortunate lady who took Muhammad ﷺ, then just an-eight-day-old, for foster care.
The other ladies of the group could get babies of rich families, but Halima opted for this orphan as his father, Abdullah, had died before his birth
Her companions were apparently happy with their findings but nobody knew that Halima was carrying a baby that was to become arguably the greatest personality in human history. He was gifted with blessings from Almighty Allah. And it occurred instantly.
@Hadithoftheday Rivers
Allah says in Qur'an:
And give good tidings to those who believe & do righteous deeds that they will have gardens [in Paradise] beneath which rivers flow. (Quran- 2:25)
The phrase “gardens beneath which rivers flow” is a very common scene depicted about the eternal Heaven
@Hadithoftheday Allah says in Qur'an:
“Indeed, those who have believed and done righteous deeds – their Lord will guide them because of their faith. Beneath them rivers will flow in the Gardens of Pleasure.(10:9)
This sentence is mentioned repeatedly in Quran: تَجْرِى مِنْ تَحْتِهِمُ الْأَنْهٰرُ
@Hadithoftheday True.
Allah says in Qur'an:
"Is the description of Paradise, which the righteous are promised, wherein are rivers of water unaltered, rivers of milk the taste of which never changes, rivers of wine delicious to those who drink, and rivers of purified honey,+ (47:15)
@Hadithoftheday in which they will have from all [kinds of] fruits and forgiveness from their Lord, like [that of] those who abide eternally in the Fire and are given to drink scalding water that will sever their intestines?"
(Qur'an ; Surah Muhammad 47: Verse 15)
@Hadithoftheday Regarding pure wine, Allah says in Qur'an:
"Indeed, the righteous will be in pleasure"
"On adorned couches, observing."
"You will recognize in their faces the radiance of pleasure."
"They will be given to drink [pure] wine sealed."
So when they exceeded the limits of what they were prohibited, We said to them: “Be you monkeys, despised and rejected" (Qur'an Surah Al-Araaf , verse :166)
"And you had already known about those who transgressed among you concerning the sabbath, and We said to them, Be apes, despised."
(Qur'an. Al-Baqara 2: Verse 65)
@Hadithoftheday The People of Saturday or People of Sabbath were a townsfolk from Bani Israel who were tested with the Sabbath, the day when they were ordered to leave their worldly affairs and be totally devoted to Allah. All week-long they would go fishing with scant return. +
@Hadithoftheday Umar ibn Al Khattab R.A
Abu Bakr R.A was in the firsts to accept Islam.
Ali R.A was the youngest one to accept Islam (9 years old)
Uthman R.A was also one of earliest converts to Islam.
At about 32, Umar R.A accepted Islam which was one year after the migration to Abyssinia
@Hadithoftheday When a small group of Muslims migrated to Abyssinia, Umar R.A. became worried about the future unity of the Quraish and decided to have Prophet Mohammad ﷺ assassinated. On his way to murder Prophet ﷺ Umar met his friend who had secretly converted to Islam but had not told Umar
@Hadithoftheday He told Umar R.A to inquire about his own house where his sister & her husband had converted to Islam. Upon arriving at her house, Umar R.A found his sister and brother-in-law reciting the verses of the Quran. He started quarreling with his brother-in-law.
@Hadithoftheday Intentions or Niyyah.
The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: "Verily actions are by intentions, and for every person is what he intended. (Bukhari and Muslim).
It's one of famous Hadith :
" إِنَّمَا الأَعْمَالُ بِالنِّيَّاتِ "
@Hadithoftheday Intentions are the roots of every action. It reflects the underlying motives of why we plan something or do what we do.
"Actions are (judged) by intentions (niyyah), so each man will receive what he has intended for.” [Bukhari & Muslim]
@Hadithoftheday A virtuous intention is the source of all goodness. The heart is where intentions are formed.
Prophet Muhammad ﷺ said, in the body there is a piece of flesh; if it is sound, the whole body is sound, & if it is corrupt the whole body is corrupt. Truly, it is the heart. -Bukhari
