Comedy

Assalamu'Aleykum wa Rahmatullahi wa Barakatuh, peeps! Today, I'm going to go crazy on posts, since I have nothing else to do. Have you guys ever heard of Preacher Moss? I've seen him perform live, and he is hilarious. You should check out his videos, they're funny in a halal way. He's just plain awesome. But if you're really in for a laugh, you should watch Allah Made Me Funny. There are two videos and they are each an hour or so long. They're both on Youtube, and here are the links! 


Dang it... I couldn't find the good one I watched on Youtube over the summer. They must've taken it down. Well, if I find it, I'll post it, insha'Allah.

Peace!

Miracles of the Quran

Yesterday, I stumbled upon a website packed with miracles from the Quran. And, man ,those bits of information were enough to strengthen my iman, It's amazing, and I intend to share it with you.


It goes from predictions to scientific miracles proven to be true, and also mathematical  miracles. It is truly amazing. Here's an example. The Quran mentions male and female both 23 times, to show equality. It also predicts electricity in this ayah;  And We made a fount of molten copper flow out for him. (Qur'an, 34:12). 

That's what I call amazing. Check it out people!

Niyyah

Niyyah. It's the most important thing that matters in your deen. Niyyah. "I heard the Messenger of Allah, sallallahu ‘alayhi wasallam, say: “Actions are (judged) by motives (niyyah), so each man will have what he intended. Thus, he whose migration (hijrah) was to Allah andHis Messenger, his migration is to Allah and His Messenger; but he whose migration was for some worldly thing he might gain, or for a wife he might marry, his migration is to that for which he migrated.” [Al-Bukhari & Muslim]"

عن أمـيـر المؤمنـين أبي حـفص عمر بن الخطاب رضي الله عنه ، قال : سمعت رسول الله صلى الله عـليه وسلم يـقـول : ( إنـما الأعـمـال بالنيات وإنـمـا لكـل امـرئ ما نـوى . فمن كـانت هجرته إلى الله ورسولـه فهجرتـه إلى الله ورسـوله ومن كانت هجرته لـدنيا يصـيبها أو امرأة ينكحها فهجرته إلى ما هاجر إليه ). رواه إمام المحد ثين أبـو عـبـد الله محمد بن إسماعـيل بن ابراهـيـم بن المغـيره بن بـرد زبه البخاري الجعـفي، وابـو الحسـيـن مسلم بن الحجاج بن مـسلم القـشـيري الـنيسـابـوري  رضي الله عنهما في صحيحيهما اللذين هما أصح الكتب المصنفه.
Commentary: According to some Ahadith, the reason for this Hadith is that a person sent a proposal of marriage to a woman named Umm Qais, which she turned down saying that he should have toemigrate to Al-Madinah for it. Accordingly, he did it for this specific purpose, and the two were married there. On account of this event, the man came to be known among the Companions as Muhajir Umm Qais.
I just love this way that niyyah works, which only proves more of Allah SWT's mercy.
