Pleasing Sight

Assalaamu alaykum

Dear Friends

I pray that you are well.

Narrated by Anas, it was Monday when the Muslims were lining up for salat (prayer), the Prophet, Allah bless him and grant him peace, took a look at us and he was standing up as if his face was a page out of a book, as if his face was part of the moon and then Prophet, Allah bless him and grant him peace, smiled laughing, it was almost going to be a fitnah for us because of our happiness of seeing the Prophet (they thought he was getting better)--it was so much joy and Abu Bakr was almost coming back but the Prophet asked Abu Bakr to pray in his place.

This was the last thing the Prophet, Allah bless him and grant him peace, saw of his ummah--they were in salatul jama'ah (group prayer). When he uncovered that curtain he saw the fruits of his efforts of 23 years of calling to Islam. The Muslims were lining up in prayer, the most important deed in Islam. This is the sight that pleases the Messenger of Allah, Allah bless him and grant him peace. He smiled in happiness.

Some pleasing sights captured in our times...inshaAllah they brought happiness to the beloved of Allah, Allah bless him and grant him peace.









Often we see many masjids that are quite lean with people praying. Indeed, those men who abandon the masjid are losing out of the great blessing and reward of the group prayer in the masjid. So, strive to pray at your local masjid and help build a large congregation.

May Allah make us of those who truly love the Prophet, those who will follow his sunnah, those who will be raised up with him on Day of Judgment, those who will drink from his blessed hands and those who He will admit with him into Paradise. Ameen.

Please don't forget us in your night prayers and please pray for the ummah. Jazakallahu khairan.

And Allah knows best.
Wassalaam
