    Assalaamu alaykum. Abu Hurayrah reported that the Prophet, sallallaahu 'alayhi wa sallam,was speaking about the people of Paradise one day while a Bedouin was present.

  • Inhabitants of heaven are the angels

    Assalaam alaykum. I want to know about the following hadith, but I could not understand what is meant by the 'inhabitants of heaven'.

When Allah loves a servant, He says to.. More

  • Hadeeth in Saheeh Al-Bukhaari and Muslim about ‘Azl (coitus interruptus)

    Assalaamu alaykum wa barakaatuhu. I need to ask you urgently for a complete explanation from Fath Al-Baari and Sharh An-Nawawi and other books about this hadith: A man inquired, “We earn income from these bondwomen (other narratives mention prostitutes), so can we do coitus interruptus (‘Azl) with them?” The Prophet said, “There is no sin..

    Assalaamu alaikum wa rahmatullaahi wa barakaatuhu. Sheikh, does the hadith about an hour for you and an hour for your Lord means 12 hours of worshipping or subtracting around 6 hours of sleep from 24, meaning 18 hours, so then 9 are for our Lord? So should we worship this much hours a day in our daily life? I mean, should we worship that much that if.. More

    I read this commentary, that ibn Hajar said: "Allah created Adam in His picture, sixty cubits (about 30 meters) in height.

Adam (went and) said, 'As-Salamu.. More

  • Refraining from doing evil is charity

    There is a hadith that says that charity is due on every Muslim and says that the least that you can do is leave sin and that that is a charity, and then there is a hadith that says that saving people - I think it says 'leaving' - from your mischief is a charity to yourself. Now, it would seem that leaving people and saving them from your mischief would.. More

  • Whether person who cried out of fear of Allah can be tortured in grave

    Assalaamu alaykum, Brothers. I have a question and was wondering if you could kindly answer it. You see, the Prophet, sallallaahu ‘alayhi wa sallam,told us that one who cried out fear of Allaah will not go to hell. My question is: can someone like that be punished in the grave? Keep in mind that the Prophet, sallallaahu ‘alayhi wa sallam,said that.. More

    Assalaamu alaykum, Shaykh. May Allaah reward you. Has it been confirmed by any hadith that it is easier for the poor or destitute to go to Paradise than the rich because the rich are tested with their wealth and luxury and the poor do not have to be judged about that? Wassalaam. .. More
