Love & Respect All Younger and Elders

Assalamu'Alaikum


The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "He is not one of us who does not have mercy on our young and does not respect our elders."

[At-Tirmidhi, 1919]




Anas ibn Maalik narrated that an older man come to speak to the Prophet Muhammad (ﷺ), and the people were hesitant to make room for him. So the Prophet (ﷺ) said:

“He is not one of us who does not have mercy on our young and does not respect our elders.” 

[al-Tirmidhi, #1919, Hasan]



Some of the people of knowledge said that the meaning of the statement of the Prophet (ﷺ) ‘He is not one of us’ is ‘it is not from our sunnah, it is not from our manners.’ Sufyan al-Thawri used to reject this interpretation, saying that ‘he is not one of us’ means ‘it is not like us (to do such and such).



“The phrase ‘not one of us’ means one of our sunnah or our way. The meaning here is not that he has exited the religion but the benefit we get from this hyperbole, this exaggerated wording, is in deterring us from falling into something like that (the behavior described). This is like the man who says to his son when he is [?](probably angry, frustrated), ‘you are not from me and I am not from you’; meaning you are not on my way, my model. And it is said that the meaning is ‘not upon the religion completely’, meaning that he has left off a branch from among the branches of the religion but he is still on the root or foundation of it.”

[Tuhfat al-Ahwadhi]


Respect and Help all the old people, no matter what they do and where they belong.

The Beauty of Sujood

"The beauty of Sujood is such that you whisper silently in to the ground, and it's heard up in the Heavens." Prostration is one of the highest signs of worship. It is the lowest we can get, in front of the Highest of all. We put the most prized part of our body– our forehead– on the ground, thus acknowledging Allah’s loftiness and grandeur. It is also the time when we’re closest to our Lord. The Prophet (saws) said, The closest that a person can be to his Lord, the Mighty and Sublime, is when he is prostrating, so increase in supplication then. [an-Nasai] There are several kinds of prostration, the most common being that which is included in the daily obligatory prayers. Another wajib prostration is the sajdah at tilawah. There are some verses in the Quran where Allah Azza wa Jall commands us to prostrate, and after reciting which the Prophet was reported by the Companions to have prostrated. Narrated Abdullah ibn Umar: The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) used

"The best conversation you can have for your soul is Tahajjud prayer. To be awake at that time alone with Allah and just expressing your thoughts and feelings is the most beautiful feeling ever. Speak to the One who can heal your heart, for Allah is Al-Jabbar." How To Pray Tahajjud ✔️ First start off with reciting the Dua for Tahajjud before starting the salah. ✔️ Then Pray 2 rakats of Salah each (without iqamah) and it can be prayed till 8 rakat, how much of that you want to pray for example, 2 rakat or 4 rakat or 6 rakat or 8 rakat is upto you but more is always better. ✔️ After Tahajjud Salah is done, it is the sunnah to end with three rakat witr and if time is short (Fajr time is near) then end with one rakat of Witr Salah. ✔️ If you are going to pray Tahajjud then pray Witr prayer after Tahajjud Prayer, but if you have already prayed Witr after Isha Prayer then do not pray Witr Prayer again because there is only one Witr in a night. ✔️ Make Dua and
