THE ANGELS ROSARY (TASBEEH)
Lesson 41:
Hazrat Abu Zar Radiallaho Ta'ala 'Anhu narrates that Rasool Allah Sallallaho 'Alaihi Wasallam was asked, "Which words are the best?" Rasool Allah Sallallaho 'Alaihi Wasallam replied, "Those words that Allah Ta'ala has chosen for his angels, Subhan Allahi WaBehamdehee." (Muslim Shareef)
My Beloved Prophet Sallallaho 'Alaihi Wasallam's beloved devotees, we are told in this hadith that this is the rosary (tasbeeh) of the angels. In other words, they are constantly reciting this. They recite this on the command and teaching of Allah Ta'ala and that is why these words are very blessed. This hadith also shows us the high and exalted status of our Beloved Prophet Sallallaho 'Alaihi Wasallam in that he is aware of the worship of angels, and is aware of the condition of those that are in the heavens. We should think and realise that the Prophet that is aware of the condition of the creatures in the heavens, how would he not be aware of the conditions of the creatures on the earth? Therefore do these beautiful deeds so that it pleases our Beloved Prophet Sallallaho 'Alaihi Wasallam. May Allah Ta'ala give us the guidance to recite the rosary of the angels. Aameen
ONE OF THE TREASURES OF PARADISE
Lesson 42:
Hazrat Abu Musa Ash'ari Radiallaho Ta'ala 'Anhu reports that we were with Rasool Allah Sallallaho 'Alaihi Wasallam on a journey and people started reciting Takbeer (Allah O Akbar) very loudly. Rasool Allah Sallallaho 'Alaihi Wasallam said, "Oh people, be soft on your bodies, you are not calling on one that is deaf nor are you calling one who is not present. You are calling on one who Hears and Sees all and He is with you. The One whom you are calling is closer to you than the necks of your mounts (horse or camel)." Hazrat Abu Musa Ash'ari Radiallaho Ta'ala 'Anhu says that I was behind Rasool Allah Sallallaho 'Alaihi Wasallam, and I was saying in my mind "La Hawla Wala Quwwata Illa Bil Laah" Rasool Allah Sallallaho 'Alaihi Wasallam said, "Oh Abdullah Bin Qais, should I not give you one of the treasures of paradise?" I replied, "Yes Yaa Rasool Allah Sallallaho 'Alaihi Wasallam." My Master said, "La Hawla Wala Quwwata Illa Bil Laah" (Bukhari, Muslim)
My Beloved Prophet Sallallaho 'Alaihi Wasallam's beloved devotees, the reason Rasool Allah Sallallaho 'Alaihi Wasallam stopped them from reciting loudly was not because it is not allowed to recite Takbeer loudly. It was because during the journey, reciting it loudly was causing hardship and pain. That is why Rasool Allah Sallallaho 'Alaihi Wasallam said be soft on your bodies and it is stated that this journey was to the Battle of Khaibar. Rasool Allah Sallallaho 'Alaihi Wasallam and the companions were going to free the fort of Khaibar and Rasool Allah Sallallaho 'Alaihi Wasallam desired that they should arrive at Khaibar unexpectedly. People should not know about this expedition so that the enemies were not able to make any preparations and very little blood would be spilt and the Muslims would be victorious. With the loud chanting this aim would have been defeated. On many other occasions the companions, and even Rasool Allah Sallallaho 'Alaihi Wasallam himself used to remember Allah Ta'ala in a loud voice. In the congregation they would do Zikr aloud after Salah.
Hazrat Abu Musa Ash'ari Radiallaho Ta'ala 'Anhu was reciting La Hawla Wala Quwwata Illa Bil Laah in his mind and the Prophet who told of the unseen was aware of his thoughts, and stated that this is one of the treasures of paradise. In this a person is stating his helplessness and accepting the Might and Power of Allah Ta'ala. This is the basis of worship. Hawla means the apparent and obvious strength that we can see, and Quwwata is the hidden Might of Allah Ta'ala. In other words, without the help of Allah Ta'ala, there is no apparent strength or hidden might. Without the grace of Allah Ta'ala a person can not stay away from sins and can not obtain rewards by doing good deeds. Rasool Allah Sallallaho 'Alaihi Wasallam described these words as a treasure of paradise because these words are the means by which to obtain all the blessed treasures of paradise.
My Beloved Prophet Sallallaho 'Alaihi Wasallam's beloved devotees, through the blessings of Rasool Allah Sallallaho 'Alaihi Wasallam, we have received a treasure of paradise. Value this treasure and to value it means that recite it abundantly. May Allah Ta'ala guide us all. Aameen
Lesson- My Beloved Prophet Sallallaho 'Alaihi Wasallam's beloved devotees, whenever we start anything, we should begin by praising and glorifying Allah Ta'ala completely and Insha Allah that task or work will be completed successfully. When a person does not forget his Lord when beginning anything, Allah Ta'ala will ensure that his lawful work is completed easily and successfully.
It has also been stated in hadith Shareef that at the time of any difficulty, big or small, easy or hard, we should recite Inna Lillahe Wa Inna Ilayhe Raaje-oon. This is a blessed sunnah of my Beloved Prophet Sallallaho 'Alaihi Wasallam. And is has also been reported that on receiving any blessing we should say Alhamdo Lillah. This is to show our gratitude so that Allah Ta'ala is please and grants us more blessings. Also it has been stated that on committing any sin we should recite Astagferullah. The slaves are Allah Ta'ala are being given comfort in that if you fall into the trap of sins, then have faith in the Mercy of The Merciful, The Forgiving One. He forgives His slaves and is the Most Benevolent. Repent with a true heart and he will forgive your sins. May Allah Ta'ala forgive all of us and guide us all. Aameen
REWARD OF PATIENCE
Lesson 43:
It is reported in Ahmed and in Baihiqi that Hazrat Imaam Hussain Radiallaho Ta'ala 'Anhu narrated that when you remember previous difficulties you should recite Inna Lillahe Wa Inna Ilayhe Raaje-oon. You will receive the reward of patience.
Lesson- My Beloved Prophet Sallallaho 'Alaihi Wasallam's beloved devotees, humans is unable to forget moments of happiness or times of grief. He remembers the good times and the bad times. Therefore whenever you remember the happiness recite Alhamdo Lillah and when you remember any sadness or grief from the past then recite Inna Lillahe Wa Inna Ilayhe Raaje-oon. Insha Allah the reward of patience will be bestowed by Allah Ta'ala, The reward of patience is immense and can not be comprehended. May Allah Ta'ala give us the guidance to be patient and to remember him at all times. Aameen
UNIQUE WAY OF REMEMBERING ALLAH TA'ALA DURING ADVERSITY
Lesson 44:
My Beloved Prophet Sallallaho 'Alaihi Wasallam's beloved devotees, this world is a house of difficulties. People have to face many difficulties in this world, big, small, many different adversities and troubles. May we be sacrificed on the grace of our Beloved Prophet Sallallaho 'Alaihi Wasallam in that he gave us the cure for all problems, from the smallest to the largest. If only we act upon these teachings and gain freedom from adversities.
Hadith- When the lamp would go out, when a nail would break, when a thorn would get stuck in the Blessed hand, Rasool Allah Sallallaho 'Alaihi Wasallam would recite Inna Lillahe Wa Inna Ilayhe Raaje-oon and stated this is also an adversity. The companions said, "Yaa Rasool Allah Sallallaho 'Alaihi Wasallam, this is a minor thing." Rasool Allah Sallallaho 'Alaihi Wasallam replied, "Sometimes minor things become major things" (Dur E Mansoor, Azeezi, etc)
Lesson- My Beloved Prophet Sallallaho 'Alaihi Wasallam's beloved devotees, just think, if the light goes out in our house, then many unmentionable phrases come out of our mouths but even at that time we have been told what words should be on our lips. Instead of wrong words being uttered we should recite Inna Lillahe Wa Inna Ilayhe Raaje-oon as this is the Sunnah of our Beloved Prophet Sallallaho 'Alaihi Wasallam. Similarly even when our shoelace breaks or rips; instead of saying any words that displeases Allah Ta'ala we should say Inna Lillahe Wa Inna Ilayhe Raaje-oon as to recite this on this occasion is also a blessed sunnah of Rasool Allah Sallallaho 'Alaihi Wasallam. Also to recite Inna Lillahe Wa Inna Ilayhe Raaje-oon if a thorn gets stuck in our hand is also a blessed sunnah. May Allah Ta'ala give us the guidance to act upon the blessed sunnahs of Rasool Allah Sallallaho 'Alaihi Wasallam. Aameen
Insha Allah you will be told of many more benefits of reciting Inna Lillahe Wa Inna Ilayhe Raaje-oon later on.
WHOEVER DOES FOUR THINGS HIS ABODE IS IN PARADISE
Lesson 45:
Hadith- It is reported in Baihiqi that whoever does 4 things, his abode (house) will be in paradise. 1) Request from Allah Ta'ala for all things. 2) In any adversity or difficulty recite Inna Lillahe Wa Inna Ilayhe Raaje-oon. 3) Upon receiving any blessing say Alhamdo Lillah. 4) When any sin is committed recite Astagferullah.
Lesson 46:
Hadith- It is reported by Hazrat Ibn Umar radiallaho ta'ala anhuma that Subhan Allah is the worship of all the creations. Alhamdo Lillah is the words of thanks. Laa Ilaha Illal Laah are the words of sincerity and Allah O Akbar fills the gap between the earth and the skies. When e person recites Laa Hawla Wala Quwwata Illa Billah then Allah Ta'ala states, "My bondman has become obedient and has given himself to Me"
Lesson- My Beloved Prophet Sallallaho 'Alaihi Wasallam's beloved devotees, all the creations of Allah Ta'ala constantly remember Him. Allah Ta'ala himself says "Wa Immin Shayin Illa Yusabbeho Behamdehee" The reality is that all things believe in Allah Ta'ala and have faith in Him and remember him constantly. The friends of Allah Ta'ala hear this remembrance. The companions of Rasool Allah Sallallaho 'Alaihi Wasallam used to hear the morsels of food praising Allah Ta'ala.
The remembrance of a green plant reduces the punishment of the grave. Therefore recite Subhan Allah and join in with the various creation of Allah Ta'ala in worshipping Him. Alhamdo Lillah is the word of thanks, therefore recite it and show your gratitude to Allah Ta'ala. It's been reported that when Laa Ilaha Illal Laah is mentioned it means the whole kalimah. This kalimah is called the words of sincerity and with the blessings of this we will have freedom from infidelity in this world and freedom from the fire in the hereafter. Allah O Akbar fills the gap between the earth and the sky. This is given as an example to us because our limited vision can only see to the sky. In actual fact the distance between the earth and the sky is nothing compared to the Magnificence of Allah Ta'ala. His keeping is not limited to just between the earth and the sky.
Whoever recites Laa Hawla Wala Quwwata Illa Billah , he has become obedient to Allah Ta'ala and has given himself to His Lord, Subhan Allah. When Allah Ta'ala states that this person is obedient to Me and is in my protection then how can any troubles of this world reach him? Therefore My Beloved Prophet Sallallaho 'Alaihi Wasallam's beloved devotees, keep these words on your tongues and earn rewards and become obedient to Allah Ta'ala. May Allah Ta'ala give us the guidance to keep our tongues moist with His remembrance. Aameen

Assalato Was Salaamo Alaika Yaa Rasool Allah Sallallaho 'Alaihi Wasallam
SHAITAAN RUNS AWAY FROM THE HOUSE WHERE...
Lesson 47:
Hadith- By Reciting Inna Lillahe Wa Inna Ilayhe Raaje-oon shaitaan becomes dejected and he is forced to run away from that place. If we wail and cry loudly then shaitaan also joins us.
Lesson- My Beloved Prophet Sallallaho 'Alaihi Wasallam's beloved devotees, the previous hadith refers to times of grief. When a person is overcome with grief, especially at the time of someone's death. At that time many women and men wail and lament and cry out loud. They do not realise that by expressing their grief in this manner, they are accompanied by shaitaan. Therefore if you desire that shaitaan runs away and he not accompanying you, then at times of grief, instead of wailing and crying loudly recite Inna Lillahe Wa Inna Ilayhe Raaje-oon. Insha Allah the grief will be eased and you will gain reward of the remembrance of Allah Ta'ala. May Allah Ta'ala guide us all to goodness and rewards. Aameen
THE RESULT OF FORGETTING TO REMEMBER ALLAH TA'ALA
Lesson 48:
Allah Ta'ala has stated "Wa May Ya'sho An Zikrir Rahmaaney Nokayyid Lahoo Shaitaanan Fahowa Lahoo Kareen"
"And whoever turns his face from the remembrance of the Merciful One, we impose on him a shaitaan that becomes his associate"
Lesson- My Beloved Prophet Sallallaho 'Alaihi Wasallam's beloved devotees, the reason shaitaan is easily able to lead Muslims astray is because we are negligent and have forgotten the remembrance of Allah Ta'ala. My Beloved Prophet Sallallaho 'Alaihi Wasallam's beloved devotees, do you want that shaitaan is your associate? Definitely not. Then for the sake of Allah Ta'ala, do not remain far from the remembrance of Allah Ta'ala, so that on the day of judgement we will have the company of the beloved friends of Allah Ta'ala. Those that have the company of the beloved friends of Allah Ta'ala they will be successful in this world and the hereafter. Insha Allah.
May Allah Ta'ala give us all the guidance and the ability to remember Him at all times through the blessings of His Beloved Prophet Sallallaho 'Alaihi Wasallam. Aameen
