[~ Y A S M I N ~]

'Bismillah Walhamdulillah Was Salaatu Was Salaam `ala Rasulillah' 'As-Salaam Alaikum Wa-RahmatullahiWa-Barakatuhu'.    Narrated Abu Huraira (Radi Allah Anhu)...   One day while the Prophet  [Sal Allahu `Alaihi Wasallam]  was sitting in the company of some people,   The Angel Gabriel (Alaihis Salam) came  and asked him ...  'What is Faith' ?   Prophet Muhammad  ﷺ   answered...   Faith is to believe in Allah,  His Angels,  The meeting with Him,  His Apostles,  and to believe in Resurrection.'  Then he further asked...   'What is Islam ? '  PROPHET MUHAMMAD  [Sal Allahu `Alaihi Wasallam] replied...  'To worship Allah Alone and none else, to offer prayers perfectly (with 'Ihsan')  to pay the compulsory charity ('Zakat')  and to observe Fasts during the month   of Ramadan.' Then he further asked...  'What is 'Ihsan' (Perfection)' ?  PROPHET MUHAMMAD  (Sal Allahu`Alaihi Wasallam ) replied...  'To worship Allah as if you see Him,  and if you cannot achieve this state of   devotion then you must consider that   He is  looking at you.'   Then he further asked... 'When will the Hour be established'?  PROPHET MUHAMMAD (Sal Allahu `Alaihi Wasallam ) replied...   'The answerer has no better knowledge   than the questioner'.    But I will inform you about its portents...  When a slave (lady) gives birth to her master.   When the shepherds of black camels start   boasting and competing with others   in the construction of higher buildings ! And the Hour is one of five (5) things   which nobody knows except Allah.   Prophet  Muhammad  (Sal-Allahu- Alaihi-Wasallam ) then recited...   'Verily the knowledge of the Hour is with   Allah alone'.     (Source: 'Qur`an'~ Surat LuqmÄn~31 A# 34)   Then that man Gabriel (Alaihis Salam) left  and  Prophet Muhammad  (Sal Allahu `Alaihi Wasallam )  asked his companions to call him back, but they could not see him.  Then the Prophet  (Sal-Allahu- Alaihi-Wasallam ) said...  ' That was Gabriel (Alaihis Salam)  who came to teach the people their Religion.' [ Source of the Post ~ Sahih Al-Bukhari : Volume 1 Book 2, H. # 43]  ~My 'Salaams' to All~ ... Y a s m i n ... "Never Despair Of The Mercy Of Allah" Say, 'Indeed, my Prayer, my Rites of Sacrifice, my Living and my Dying are for ALLAH, Lord of the Worlds'. {'Qur`an'~Surat Al-'An`am -# 6-162.} Courtesy: This most beneficial and Imaan refreshing mail has been shared by   sister Yasmin.
