#DoYouKnow Allah rewards you for having doubts about Islam?
Some of the companions of Rasulullah came to him and they said with deep stress:
“O Messenger of Allah, sometimes we have these thoughts, we hate having these thoughts, we would never dare to speak of them and we just
want them to go away.” Rasulullah SAW asked “Do you really feel that”? They said yes and he replied “That is a sign of clear faith”
Know that Allah will reward you for the way that you feel, the guilt that you feel for even having that whisper, for even having that doubt is
actually a sign of Iman in and of itself. Because shaitan is always going to whisper, but the fact that you’re not allowing that whisper to turn itself into action, is a sign of clear and pristine faith.
In another hadith from Mu’adh, some people came to the prophet and said:
“We have these thoughts, we would rather die than act upon them, we hate thinking about these things, why do we keep thinking like this, why do these doubts creep in?”
And the Prophet said: All praise is due to Allah who reduced the Satan’s plans to whispers.
Al Hassan Al Basri said that:
“When Satan gives up on leading you astray, then all he’s reduced to is a bunch of whispers. And as long as you let it stay there and you don’t allow it to penetrate your actions, don’t think Allah is going to punish you for your thoughts.”
Having doubts and thoughts is ok. Don’t kill yourself because you’re having whispers.
This is normal and everyone would go through it. It’s about how you deal with it. And the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) said that Satan would even take your positive moments and try to spoil them.
So, you’re looking around you and you’re admiring the creation of Allah, and Satan would say, ‘who created this?’ You would say, ‘Allah’, and then Satan would say, ‘Who created Allah?’ So the Prophet (peace be upon him) said: At that moment, seek refuge in Allah from Shaitan”
He said in another hadith:
When Satan tries to penetrate your thoughts, at that moment say, ‘(Amantu billah meaning I believe in Allah) you will send Satan running.
Know that Allah will not punish you for the thoughts that you have. In fact, Allah will reward you for the way
that you dealt with those thoughts and that is a sign of Iman. So, remember to say ‘amantu billah’ (I believe in Allah) when Satan tries to penetrate your thoughts, and do not feel bad because Satan is trying to lead you astray because he’s given up hope in your actual being led
astray and he’s been reduced to that sense of whispers. May Allah continue to protect us from shaitan and his whispers and make our hearts firm on the deen. Ameen

#didyouknow that Al-Kawthar is a river in Paradise. Its banks are made of gold and its bed is of pearls and rubies.
-At-Tirmidhi
There is a hadith in Sahih al-Bukhari where Anas ibn Malik (ra) narrates that the Prophet (saw) said,
Whilst I was walking in Jannah, I saw a river
whose banks were domes of hollow pearls.” I said, “What is this, O Jibreel?” He said: “This is al-Kawthar which your Lord has given to you.” The angel struck it with his hand and its mud or its perfume was of the most fragrant (or pure) musk.
-Sahih al-Bukhari
What a blessing it would be to drink from al-Kawthar on the Day of Judgment. However, we have to acknowledge that not everyone from the ummah of Muhammad (saw) will be given the honor of drinking from al-Kawthar. There are hadith that clearly mention that there will be people
The Quran was first revealed during the month of Ramadan. This blessed month is known by many Muslims today as the month of Fasting. However, long before fasting became obligatory, it was known by the earliest
companions as the month of the Quran.
The Quran is referred to as having been revealed in its entirety in the month of Ramadan on the Night of Power. However, it is also said to have been continuously revealed in portions during the lifetime of the Prophet. Allah says:
“Indeed, We revealed [the Quran] during the Night of Decree. And what can make you know what is the Night of Decree? The Night of Decree is better than a thousand months. The angels and the Spirit descend therein by permission of their Lord for every matter.
Battle of Uhud. Was it a defeat on the part of Muslims or not?
We have read the story of Uhud, how it started and the great companions that were lost in the battle due to the neglect on the part of the archers of the explicit command of the Prophet. Sixty verses relevant to the
battle wererevealed givingfull account of the first phase of the battle.
Doubtlessly, the military superiority in the 2nd phase of-the battle was in favour of the polytheists who could successfully direct the steering mechanism of hostilities and inflict heavy losses in lives on
the Muslims. Admittedly, a part of the believers were clearly defeated, but this could never be considered a Makkan victory.
The Makkan army failed to occupy the camp of the Muslims.The greater bulk of the Madinese army, chaos & confusion not withstanding , did not take to escape
Uzair in the Quran is a prophet of God, sent to the Israelites, who asks God to show him how He resurrects the dead. Thus, God shows him by causing him to die for a hundred years and then resurrects him.
Uzair and ‘Azīz were two twin brothers who were the
descendants of Aaron. They were born in Jerusalem. Uzair is introduced as one of the prophets of God sent to the Children of Israel. The Quran makes mention of his name only once in surah Tawbah verse 30.
Remember Nebuchadnezzar II had destroyed the Temple of Jerusalem,
destroyed all copies of the Torah, and took the Israelites captive in Babylon. However, God sent Uzair to revive the Torah. Uzair lived during the Achaemenid empire. Ishaaq Ibn Bishr reported, on the authority of Ibn Abbas and others, that Ezra was a saint and a wise man.
