The Words Of Allah Can Never Be Finished.

Say (O Muhammad SAW to mankind). "If the sea were ink for (writing) the Words of my Lord, surely, the sea would be exhausted before the Words of my Lord would be finished, even if we brought (another sea) like it for its aid."

(Quran 18:109)

He said, "You will see Allah (your Lord) in the same way. On the Day of Resurrection, people will be gathered and He will order the people to follow what they used to worship.

Who Are The Greatest Losers?

They are those who deny the Signs of their Lord and the fact of their having to meet Him (in the Hereafter): vain will be their works, nor shall We, on the Day of Judgment, give them any weight.That is their reward, Hell, because they rejected Faith, and took My Signs and My Messengers by way of jest.

Our Ordinary Fire Is One Of The 70 Portions of The Hellfire.

It was revealed in suratul gafir:

“Those in the Fire will say to the keepers of Hell, ‘Pray to your Lord to lighten forus the penalty for a day (at least).’ They will say, ‘Did there not come to you your messenger with clear signs?’ They will say, ‘Yes.’ They will reply, ‘Then pray as you like. But the prayer of those without faith is not but in error.’” [Quran 40: 49-50]

Allah said ...But you took them for a mockery until they made you forget My remembrance and you used to laugh at them.Surely I have rewarded them this day because they were patient, that they are the achievers.

(Quran 23 vs 110-111)

Description of  The hell fire:

Abu Hurairah Narrated: “When Allah’s Messenger (salAllahu alayhi wasalam) said, ‘Your ordinary fire is one of the 70 potions of the Hellfire,

’someone commented, ‘O Messenger of Allah, would it (ordinary fire) not be sufficient (to burn the wrongdoers)?’ At that, Allah’s Messenger (SAW) said, ‘The Hellfire has 69 more portions than ordinary (worldly) fire, and all of them are as hot as this (worldly fire).’” [Sahih al-Bukhari]

Abu Hurairah (radiAllahu anhu) reported that Allah’s Messenger (salAllahu alayhi wasalam) said: “Hell and Paradise fell into a dispute during which Hell said, ‘I have been distinguished by the proud and the haughty.’ And Paradise said, ‘What is the matter with me that only the meek and the humble and the downtrodden and the simple enter me?’ Thereupon, Allah said to Paradise, ‘You are the means of My mercy whereby I show mercy to those of My servants whom I wish.’ Then HE said to Hell, ‘You are the means of punishment whereby I punish those of My servants whom I wish. Both of you will be full.’ Hell will notbe filled up until Allah puts His foot over it. Then Hell will say, ‘Enough, enough, enough,’ at which point it will be filled up, all of its parts integrated together.” [Muslim]

An Important Narration of The Prophet (peace be on him)

Here is a beautiful Narration of rasulullah (S.A.W) about three Men that will find themselves in jahannam in the day of resurrection, because of Ego.

It was also narrated Abu Hurayrah          
   I heard the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) say: The first of people against whom judgment will be pronounced on the Day  of Resurrection will be a man who died a martyr. He will be brought and  Allah will make known to him His favours and he will recognize them. [  The Almighty] will say: And what did you do about them? He will say: I  fought for you until I died a martyr. He will say: You have lied - you  did but fight that it might be said [of you]: He is

Do not Make your Charity worthless by Injury.

Surah Al-Baqara, Verse 264:
يَا أَيُّهَا الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا لَا تُبْطِلُوا صَدَقَاتِكُم بِالْمَنِّ وَالْأَذَىٰ كَالَّذِي يُنفِقُ مَالَهُ رِئَاءَ النَّاسِ وَلَا يُؤْمِنُ بِاللَّهِ وَالْيَوْمِ الْآخِرِ فَمَثَلُهُ كَمَثَلِ صَفْوَانٍ عَلَيْهِ تُرَابٌ فَأَصَابَهُ وَابِلٌ فَتَرَكَهُ صَلْدًا لَّا يَقْدِرُونَ عَلَىٰ شَيْءٍ مِّمَّا كَسَبُوا وَاللَّهُ لَا يَهْدِي الْقَوْمَ الْكَافِرِينَ
O you who believe! Do not render in vain your Sadaqah (charity) by reminders of your generosity or by injury, like him who spends his wealth to be seen of men, and he does not believe in Allah, nor in the Last Day. His likeness is the likeness of a smooth rock on which is a little dust; on it falls heavy rain which leaves it bare. They are not able to do anything with what they have earned. And Allah does not guide the disbelieving people.

Explanation of the Ayah(verse) by ibn Kathir:

Life is too Short to Disobey Allah.

Surah Al-Baqara, Verse 281:

وَاتَّقُوا يَوْمًا تُرْجَعُونَ فِيهِ إِلَى اللَّهِ ثُمَّ تُوَفَّىٰ كُلُّ نَفْسٍ مَّا كَسَبَتْ وَهُمْ لَا يُظْلَمُونَ

And be afraid of the Day when you shall be brought back to Allah. Then every person shall be paid what he earned, and they shall not be dealt with unjustly.

It was narrated by Abu Hurayrah (may Allah be pleased with him), who said that the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said:                       When Allah created Paradise and Hell-fire, He sent Gabriel to Paradise,  saying: Look at it and at what I have prepared therein for its  inhabitants. The Prophet (pbuh) said: So he came to it and looked at it  and at what Allah had prepared therein for its inhabitants. The Prophet  (pbuh) said:

You May Dislike a Thing While its good for You.

Surah Al-Baqara, Verse 216:

كُتِبَ عَلَيْكُمُ الْقِتَالُ وَهُوَ كُرْهٌ لَّكُمْ وَعَسَىٰ أَن تَكْرَهُوا شَيْئًا وَهُوَ خَيْرٌ لَّكُمْ وَعَسَىٰ أَن تُحِبُّوا شَيْئًا وَهُوَ شَرٌّ لَّكُمْ وَاللَّهُ يَعْلَمُ وَأَنتُمْ لَا تَعْلَمُونَ

Jihad (holy fighting in Allah's Cause) is ordained for you (Muslims) though you dislike it, and it may be that you dislike a thing which is good for you and that you like a thing which is bad for you. Allah knows but you do not know.

Meaning of ( Allah knows while you don't know)

He(Allah) has better knowledge than you, of how things will turn out in the end, and of What benefits you in the earthly life and the hereafter. Hence, obey Allah and adhere to his commands, so that you may acquire the true guidance.

The Scariest Dream of The Prophet.

In One Narration of prophet(S.A.W) that is reported by Samura bin Jundub: Prophet has a dream (which is a revelation) that two person came to him and they show him many thing of which he doesn't understand what they mean, but after the journey they explain everything to him as follow: 

As for the first man you came upon whose head was being injured with the rock, he is the symbol of the one who studies the Quran and then neither recites it nor acts on its orders, and sleeps, neglecting the enjoined prayers.

Allah has blessed you to test you.

This wordly life has an end, its just a test, its only mean for cultivation(0f deeds). Don't live as if you will live forever rather live as if you will die tomorrow. Allah blessed you to test you. Give those who are in need and no matter how poor you are,you will always find those who are in need of the little you have.

What to do if You have a bad dream

In another Narration narrated by Abu Qatada:
The Prophet said, "A good dream is from Allah, and a bad dream is from Satan. So whoever has seen (in a dream) something he dislike, then he should spit without saliva, thrice on his left and seek refuge with Allah from Satan, for it will not harm him, and Satan cannot appear in my shape."

Reason why you must stop watching porn and put an End to Masturbation

Pornography or Masturbation is totaly Haram(Unlawful) in the Rulings of Islam.

    Its a Satanic thought to think pornography or Masturbation is lesser than Zina When Allah says in Suratul muminoon (verse 5-7) : ... And those who abstain from sex. Except with those joined to them in the marriage bond, or (the captives) whom their right hands possess,- for (in their case) they are free from blame,But those whose desires exceed those limits are transgressors.

Effect of Pornography/Masturbation

Quran: Death is inevitable

Allah says in the Holy Quran:
Everyone shall taste death. And only on the Day of Resurrection shall you be paid your wages in full. And whoever is removed away from the Fire and admitted to Paradise, he indeed is successful. The life of this world is only the enjoyment of deception (a deceiving thing). (ch 3 vs 185)
Which means it wasn't enough for us to believe in death, we must be aware of the fact that we will be resurrected,

And if you are ill, or on a journey, or one of you comes after answering the call of nature, or you have been in contact with women (by sexual relations) and you find no water, perform Tayammum with clean earth and rub therewith your faces and hands (Tayammum).
