The Mark of Prostration (On the Forehead)

Image
Question: Is there any proof that the mark that develops on the forehead from prostration is a sign of righteousness? Answer: This is not a sign of righteousness; rather, light on one's face, calmness in ones chest, good manners, and the like are. As for the mark that results from prostrating, it even shows up on the face on those people who only pray the obligatory prayers, from some kind of sensitivity in their skin. And it does not appear on the faces of some people who pray often and who prolong their prostrations. Shaykh Muhammad bin Saalih al-`Uthaymeen Fatawa Islamiyah vol.8, p.330 DARUSSALAM

Dawn prayer prevents heart diseases: study Published: Friday, 9 March, 2007, 10:20 AM Doha Time RECENT scientific research has shown performing Fajr (dawn) prayer regularly in time daily is the best preventive and remedial measure for heart diseases, congestion of blood vessels, arteriosclerosis and cardiac infarction which causes brain stroke. A research conducted by the Jordanian Heart Doctors Society said the studies established that the cardiac infarction disease, which is one of the most dangerous diseases and congestion of blood vessels, was mainly caused by long hours of sleep in the day or night.

Importance of Friday

Every Muslim should prepare for Jum'ah from Thursday. After Asr on Thursday one should increasingly read Istighfaar etc. That person shall obtain the most benefit of Jum'ah who awaits it and prepares for it from Thursday. Rasulallah ( S.A.W . ) has said : " The best day of the week that the sun rises on, is the day of Jum'ah." The night of Jum'ah (the night between Thursday and Friday ) is more blessed and the day of Jum'ah is most blessed. Friday is the best among all days. Friday is an Eid for the Believers. Adam (R.A.) was created on Friday, He was granted entrance into Jannah on Friday, He was descended onto Earth on Friday, He died on Friday, Qiyaamah will also take place on Friday. Among the seven days of the week, Friday is the day when Allah's special mercies are granted. It is a day of gathering for the Muslims and rewards are increased. Many great events took place on this day, and yet take place. Hazrat Abu Saeed kh u dri (R.A.) says that Ra

Ibn Qayyim (Rahimahullaah) told us to memorize the 4 pillars of Kufr and stay away from them. The pillars of Kufr are four: 1) Kibr – Pride or arrogance (haughtiness) : when the pride has arrogance or pride, it prevents him from being submissive. It prevents him from surrendering. It prevents the person from submitting which is a pillar of Islaam. That is why Prophet (sallallaahu alaihi wa sallam) has informed us that (Tirmidh) : that the people of Mutakaddirun, the people of kibr will be gathered to get together on the Day of Resurrection as ants and humans and will be surrounded by humiliation and they will be drive to a jail or prison in the Hellfire. The name of the prison of Hellfire is not Dallaas… They will be drink from the juice of the people of Hellfire… Ulama of Islaam, they say that this juice (filth, puss, blood) from the peo
