The Slander Dry Ablutions
The S
lander Why did they not bring
four witnesses to prove it? When they have not brought the
witnesses, such men,
in the sight of Allah, (stand forth) themselves as liars!
Dry
Ablu
tions
"O you who believe! When you intend
to offer As-Salat (the prayer), wash
your faces and your hands (forearms)
up to the elbows, rub (by passing wet
hands over) your heads, and (wash)
your feet up to ankles . If you are in a
state of Janaba (i.e. after a sexual
discharge), purify yourselves (bathe
your whole body). But if you are ill or
on a journey, or any of you comes after
answering the call of nature, or you
have been in contact with women (i.e.
sexual intercourse), and you find no
water, then perform tayammum with
clean earth and rub therewith your
faces and hands. Allah does not want
to place you in difficulty, but He wants
to purify you, and to complete His
Favour to you that you may be
thankful."

Sala
t
Narrated ‘Aisha (May Allah be
pleased with her): He used to say: “Do those
deeds which you can do
easily, as Allah will not get
tired (of giving rewards) till
you get bored and tired (of
performing religious deeds).”
The most beloved prayer to
the Prophet was the one that
was done regularly (throughout the life) even if it
were little. And whenever the
Prophet offered a prayer he
used to offer it regularly.
Zaka
t
Narrated Aisha: A lady along with her two
daughters came to me asking
(for some alms), but she found
nothing with me except one date
which I gave to her and she
divided it between her two
daughters, and did not eat
anything herself, and then she
got up and went away. Then the
Prophet (ملسو هيلع هللا ىلص) came in and I
informed him about this story. He
said, "Whoever is put to trial by
these daughters and he treats
them generously (with
benevolence) then these
daughters will act as a shield for
him from Hell-Fire." (See Hadith
No. 24, Vol. 8).
Narrated `Aisha: Some of the wives of the
Prophet (ملسو هيلع هللا ىلص) asked him, "Who
amongst us will be the first to
follow you (i.e. die after you)?"
He said, "Whoever has the
longest hand." So they started
measuring their hands with a
stick and Sauda's hand turned
out to be the longest. (When
Zainab bint Jahsh died first of all
in the caliphate of `Umar), we
came to know that the long
hand was a symbol of practicing
charity, so she was the first to
follow the Prophet (ملسو هيلع هللا ىلص) and she
used to love to practice charity.
(Sauda died later in the
caliphate of Muawiya)
Hajj
Narrated `Aisha: (the mother of the
faithful believers) I said, "O Allah's Messenger (ملسو هيلع هللا ىلص)! We consider Jihad as the
best deed." The Prophet (ملسو هيلع هللا ىلص) said, "The
best Jihad (for women)
is Hajj Mabrur. "
