Surah Al Ikhlas Recitation - Mishary Rashid Al Afasy

I love to hear this surah Al Ikhlas Recitation, and I put on here the video so I can watch or listen while I am working and while I am doing my minithesis.

This surah Al Ikhlas recitation by Mishary Rashid Al Afasy, in ten different styles.

Lower Your Gaze

It goes without saying that every Muslim should spare no pains in lowering his/her gaze and preserving his/her modesty. This should occur in compliance with the Divine command given in Surah An-Nur: “Tell the believing men to lower their gaze and be modest. That is purer for them. Lo! Allah is Aware of what they do. And tell the believing women to lower their gaze and be modest.” (An-Nur: 30-31)

In a hadith, the Prophet (saw) is reported as having said: “And the eyes commit zina (adultery). Their zina is gazing.”

He (saw) commanded Ali (as) said: “Ali! Do not look once after another, for the first look is for you (since it happens accidentally) while the second is against you.”

Story told just recently by Maulana Tariq Jameel:

“There was a companion of ours in Glasgow who became ill and was hospitalized. He was admitted for three days and on the fourth day the attendant nurse said, “Marry me”.

He [the brother in Glasgow] asked, “Why? I am a Muslim, you and I cannot become companions.”

She said, “I’ll become Muslim”.

“What’s the reason?” it was asked.

She said, “In all my time that I have served in hospitals, except you, I have never seen a man lower his gaze in front of a woman. In my life you are the first person who lowers his gaze when seeing a woman. I come, and you close your eyes. Such great modesty can be taught by none other than a true religion.”

The protection of one’s gaze entered Islam in her. She testified to the Oneness of Allah and became a Muslim. They both got married. By now, the same woman was and is the means of bringing so many other girls / women into Islam.”

Got Fever for Almost a Week, Alhamdulillah

I am sick now, I've got fever for almost a week. It just happen so suddenly.
My voice start to change too, well it's funny sometimes. Influenza.
Got pain on my head at night, and my fever increase dramatically at night too.
I am not going college yesterday, just trying to work at home from my laptop.

Not sure, I can go to college for tomorrow .

So, what is that the tittle mean "Got Fever for Almost a Week, Alhamdulillah"?
Yes, Alhamdulillah I've got fever. So then I know Allah subhanallahuwata'ala Loves me ....,
because I have a lot of sins.

Fever wipes out one’s sins and rids body from dead substances and germs. It is a blessing in disguise.

Alhamdulillah for everything what have comes to me ...

The Prophet said:

“When a believer gets sick or feverish, it is like metal when put on fire, the bad is gone and the good remains.” [Al-Bayhaqi]

He also describes the intensity of fever by saying:
“Fever is coal from hell, get rid of it by using cold water.” [Ibn Maajah]

The Prophet forbade the cursing of fever by saying:

“Do not curse a fever because it abolishes sins like fire abolishes dirt from iron.” [Ibn Maajah]

Imaam Ibn Al-Qayyim said: “I remember once, when I was feverish, a poet cursing the fever, saying.

The sin purifier has visited and left.

How evil it is when visiting and when leaving

She asked while getting ready to leave What do you want?

I replied, to never come again.

I said, shame on him, he cursed what the Prophet forbade to be cursed. If he had said:

The severe-sin cleanser has visited.

Greetings to it while visiting and while leaving

She asked while getting ready to leave What do you want?

I replied, to not leave.

It would have been better for him and it still would have left."
