Ridiculing the Adhan

Image
  It is reported that when a certain Christian of Madinah Munawwarah used to hear the words, 'I bear witness that Muhammad is the Rasul of Allah' in the Adhan, he used to say, "The liar has burnt" or "May the liar get burnt". Irrespective of what his intention may have been in saying these words, the reality is that they were applicable to him in full. This is because that wretched person was a liar. Upon witnessing the rise and spread of Islam, he used to burn out of envy. Coincidentally, a maid servant went to his house with a fire while his family and children were asleep. A small spark of fire fell from her hand whereby the entire house together with its inhabitants was burnt. In this way, Allah showed how the liars get burnt in this world even before they can burn in the fire of hell. May Allah Ta'ala grant us all the ability to respect the Adhan, the Masjid, and all the hallmarks of Islam. Ameen Source: Tafsir-e-'Uthmani vol.2 pp.455-456

Unique Love for Rasulullah sallallahu 'alayhi wa sallam & the Sahabah radiyallahu 'anhum

  The daughter of Sayyiduna Khalid radiyallahu 'anhu, 'Abdah radiyallahu 'anha says, "My father, whilst lying in bed, would talk about and remember Rasulullah sallallahu 'alayhi wa sallam with great love and intense eagerness for him. He would also remember each and every Muhajir and Ansari by name and would say, "They are my elders and they are my juniors. My heart is eager to meet them. O Allah, call me back soon, so that I may be able to meet all of them. He would keep on doing this until he would be overtaken by sleep." May Allah Ta'ala bless us all with such great & deep love for Rasulullah sallallahu 'alayhi wa sallam, the blessed family of Rasulullah sallallahu 'alayhi wa sallam, all the Sahabah radiyallahu 'anhum, and all the pious luminaries of the Ummah.
