Sahih Al-Bukhari Volume 1 The book of Revelation

Sahih Bukhari – Volume 1 – (2) Chapter. (P.46)

2. Narrated ‘Aishah’, the mother of the faithful believers: Al-Harith bin Hisham asked Allah’s Messenger, peace be upon him, “O Allah’s Messenger!  How is the Divine Revelation revealed to you?”  Allah’s Messenger, peace be upon him, replied, “Sometimes it is (revealed) like the ringing of a bell, this form of Revelation is the hardest of all and then this state passes off after I have grasped what is revealed.  Sometimes the angel comes in the form of a man and talks to me and I grasp whatever he says.”  Aishah added: Verily I saw the Prophet, peace be upon him, being inspired (Divinely) and (noticed) the sweat dropping from his forehead on a very cold day as the Revelation was over.

Sahih Al-Bukhari Volume 1 The book of Revelation

Sahih Al-Bukhari – Volume 1 – (1) Chapter. (P.45)

In the Name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful

1 – THE BOOK OF REVELATION

And the Statement of Allah: “Verily, We have sent the revelation to you (O Muhammad, peace be upon him) as We sent the revelation to Noah and the Prophets after him.”

1. Narrated ‘Umar bin Al-Khattab: I heard Allah’s Messenger, peace be upon him, saying, “The reward of deeds depends upon the intentions and every person will get the reward according to what he has intended.  So whoever emigrates for worldly benefits or for a woman to marry, his emigration will be for what he emigrated for.”

When life gives you lemons, make lemonade!

By Khadijah
I used to hear the saying “when life gives you lemons, make lemonade!” many times. I always thought it was a very positive way to look at life but I never really applied it to myself..until I was forced to.

For quite a while, those lemons were not making anything but lemon juice. I thought that making lemon juice would be much easier than making lemonade. I thought, ‘how do I add sugar when all I have are lemons?’

This went on for quite some time. Over and over, I would allow myself to fall into self pity and despair. Though nobody really knows exactly what my hardships are (except for the occasional few who know me personally), there have been just many things that have caused me complete exhaustion. Many doors keep closing and I honestly feel like just laying on that hard, cold pavement again and and again, giving up on this race to the finish line altogether.

Things to remember when dealing with a revert/convert:

  • When in a group setting, please remember to speak in the language everyone understands.
  • When a revert/convert accepts Islam, it’s not an easy decision. She/he has to give up many of his/her old traditions, habits, so please do not be harsh on their way of doing things.
  • Islam is a way of life, it doesn’t belong to any culture. So, when a revert/convert accept Islam, please do not push them to change their outfits and become an Indian, Pakistani or Arab.  They just need to be reminded to have a modest dress.
  • Every revert/convert has an unique journey, unique experiences, unique challenges, so please do not judge others.
  • When a revert/convert discuss their personal issues with you, it’s Amanah (Arabic: أمانة), in the closest literal English translation, means fulfilling or upholding trusts. So, do not tell to others what has been discussed, keep with you until you get permission to pass to others.
  • Be punctual and please take “time” seriously.

Growing up across the street from a masjid, I was always aware of Islam. I remember as a child watching all the Muslims in my neighbourhood walk to Jummah prayer on Fridays. But I didn’t actually begin to ask questions about Islam until I was in high school when I started making more Muslim friends.
