Abu Qatada sacrifices his own sleep for The Messenger ﷺ. "I heard that the Christians who saw the companions conquered Ash-Shaam say, We swear by Allah (SWT) that as far as has reached us, these Companions (rala) are better than the Disciples (rala) of Christ (as)!" (Ibn Kathir). It's a must to love all of the Noble Companions (ra/a) equally and not love one less at the expense of another (ie such as those whose love for Hadrat Mu'aawiyah [ra] diminishes for his apparent opposing of Ameerul Mu'mineen Hadrat Alee [ra]) - however, of course, their ranks naturally will differ. Thus one must not say, for instance, "I love Hadrat Aboo Bakr (ra) more than any of the other Companions [ra/a]" but rather say, 'Hadrat Aboo Bakr (ra) is the most exalted of the Noble Companions [rala] -but I love them all equally.

Haarithah ibn Nu'umaan ibn Nafee Al Nasari (ra) The Messenger ﷺ said, I have grown shy from Haarithah (ra) because of the dwellings he gave up for us (Ibn Sa'd Tabaqat). "The 2 men who were the kindest to their mothers are Uthmaan ibn Afaan (ra) and Haaritha ibn Nu'u'maan (ra). As for Uthmaan (ra), he has not been able to look at his mother since the day he embraced Islaam. Whilst as for Haaritha ibn Nu'u'maan (ra), he would delouse his mother's hair and fed her with his hand. Jibreel (as) speaks of Haaritha (ra), He is from the 80 men who persevered on the Day of Hunayn, their provision and that of their children is in paradise (Ahmed, Musnad).

The Ascension Ater traversing through Paradise, he ﷺ was shown Hell such that he ﷺ was still in Paradise but the veil was lifted over Hell so that he ﷺ could see it then it was once again veiled from him ﷺ and he ﷺ returned to Sidratul Muntahaa (Bayhaqi). After his ﷺ return from the Mihraaj, The Messenger ﷺ was fragranced with the fragrance of a groom - indeed, it was even sweeter than the bride's fragrance (Ibn Mardawayh).

The Messenger's ﷺ concern for his Ummah... verses are revealed... "The one who loves my Sunnah loves me ﷺ, Indeed, the one who loves me ﷺ will (then) be with me ﷺ in " Paradise (Ibn Assakir). And what of those who imbibe the Sunnah?

Hafiz Ibn al-Jawzee (rah) had related, "The person who always starts with the right foot when wearing shoes and: starts with the left foot when taking them off will then remain safe from the disease of the spleen (Hayaat Ul-Hayean). As a boy he ﷺ would arise bright-eyed and his hair would be in place (Al Bidaya). The Ascension- Sidratul Muntaha, covered in golden butterflies... Terminates everything that ascends from the earth and is held there & terminates everything that descends from above it and is held there (Muslim). When it was enveloped by Allah's (SWT) Commands (from above), it transformed further and acquired hues colours that I ﷺ did nol recognize - such that no one amongst Allah's (SWT) creation would be able to describe its beauty (Bukhari).

Tawheed - The Non Negotiable The 3 Registers of Allah SWT, missing various deeds such as fasting or salaah; social sins; association of partners to Allah SWT. Shirik affects the trees and other parts of the creation. O Allah SWT you created the creation and then You (SWT) put them in, what's the wisdom of this... I SWT will (also) put into the Fire the one with no good (ie who associates partners with My Glorious Self) (Abu Nu'aym). We did make for every Prophet (as) enemies from amongst the devils of men and the devils of Jinn - who have been inspiring one another with the golden ornamentation speech of delusion...(Surah 6:112).

Knowledge of Allah SWT is limited so one can enjoy life. A group of people ask about the Origins of The Universe... "There was Allah (SWT) and there was nothing before Him, or with Him or other than Him (SWT) (Bukhari). Islamic theology posits that God (SWT) is eternal and uncreated -for otherwise you would run into the problem of infinite regress (ie this came from this, and then that came from this, etc forever) and (hence) this world would thus have never been created (ie for the "1 domino would never have fallen" to start the whole process of creation), A Helwa. The Throne is created from red rubies and its diameter is of 500,00 years from end to end (Ibn Abee Shaibah). "Allah (SWT) Created 4 things by His Hand (ie in a special honoured way); The Throne, The Pen, (Garden of) Eden and Adam (A.S.). He (SWT) then said to the rest of creation "Be" and it was (Haakim).

Surah 26 The Poets v69-81 Session 10 Prophet Ibrahim (A.S.) attributes everything to Allah SWT except sickness. He says, "And when I become sick, He [ Allah is the One who] heals me. Lineage Prophet Ibrahim (as) ibn (Yatrah) Taareekh ibn Shaarikh ibn Najoor ibn Faaleekh (Hayatal Haywaan). Aazar was the name of an idol and Ibraaheem's (as) father was Taareekh. His mother's name was Shaanee, his wife's name was Saara..(Ibn Kathir). An aged Ibrahim (A.S.) prays for his parents... "O My Lord (SWT)! Pardon me and my parents and all the Believers on the Day the Account will be called for!" (Surah Ibrahim [as] 14:41). The Finest Lineage "On the Day Allah (SWT) The Almighty Created the creation He (SWT) Placed me amongst the best of them then when He (SWT) branched Them out, He (SWT) placed me (saw) amongst the best of the two Branches (Tirmidhi). Waaliday refers to parents. The word abee (or it's derivatives) can also be used for one's uncles as confirmed in the Holy Book itself Surah 2 v133.

Session 11 The Unique Mandate of Khidir (A.S.). Prophets Yusuf & Sulayman (A.S) supplicate "And admit me by thy grace to the ranks of thy righteous servants" "O Allah, ask You for a sound heart." Makhmun ul qalb is a pure heart, God-fearing, has no sin, no injustice, no deceit and no jealously, view Surah 26:89. The Unique Mandate of Khidir (A.S.), his presence turns the earth Green. Abbul Abbas Balyaa bin Malkaan Al Khidir (A.S.), learn this lineage so that you may leave the world with Faith! (Tafsir Saawee).

Surah 26 The Poets v90-104 Session 12 Hell will be brought near on The Last Day "and brought [within view], that Day, is Hell' Jibreel (A.S.) came to me and gave me this verse,' It was asked, How is it (i.e. Hell) brought "Seventy thousand Angels will be pulling it; if it goes astray once and if it was left it would burn the people congregated on the plains and everything above it. The Hell-fire is then exposed, and it says, "..for you, O Muhammad ﷺ Allah SWT has made your flesh forbidden for me. There's none remaining except saying, Myself Myself, and The Messenger ﷺ says, 'My Umma (nation), My Ummah.' Keep company of the pious as they will assist in the world and can intercede in the next.

Divine Names & Attributes Al Ghafoor The Ever-Concealer and Protector who gives endless opportunities with which to forgive. "Inded I have a Lord (SWT) (thus) O Lord (SWT) forgive me!' "I(SWT) have already forgiven you (My servant). (Ibn Abee Dunyaa). Keep seeking forgiveness till Shaytaan gets tired (Bazzar). Al Kareem The Abundant, Most Generous Easily Accessible Giver of Endless Good.

He is ever forgiving to the remorseful Surah 17:25. They are those who remember their sins in solitude and thereupon seek forgiveness for them (Ibn Jarir). If the unbeliever knew how much mercy Allah SWT possessed, then he would not have despaired of Paradise (Bukhari). Allah SWT Honoured and Glorified be He, will forgive people on the Day of Rising in such a way that has never even occurred in the heart of any human-being. (Ibn Al Mubaarak in his ZUHD) Illness is charity (to His servant) from Allah SWT (Ibn Abee Shaibah).

The Youth "Your-Lord (SWT) Most High wonders at the youth who lives as though he has no desire (Baihaqi). "Verily, if the Believing youth swears by Allah (SWT), He (SWT) (Cestainly) would fulfil it (Abu Dawood). "Indeed, goodness is (almost) exclusively during youth (AL-JAAMI LI'AKHLAAQ). "I have not compared youth to anything except like something I once carried in my sleeve and then dropped as per Imam Ahmed (rah).

Despair not the Soothing Mercy is Vast Verily a servant will commit a sin and will enter Paradise by it. lt will continue to haunt him until he enters Paradise (Nasaee). A good deed and no sin can be harmful for it produces pride within- just like the Accursed Shaytaan (Abo Nuaym).

One of the signs of His true servants is... Those who are fond of My love just as the boy is fond of people's love (Bayhaqi) And... Those who help one another in struggling for My sake (Tirmidhi). "The more the servant loves his Master (SWT) then the less will he love otker objects- thus they will decrease in number. The less the servant loves his Master (SWT) then the more he will love other objects thus they will increase in number. " (Majmoo Fataawah). All people go to Allah (SWT) after their death, but the happy person is the one who goes to Allah (SWT) whilst still alive (Timeless Seeds Of Advice). Remember Me (SWT) in which I have commanded you- then I (SWT) will remember you regarding what I have compelled Myself to do for your benefit (ie to reward, forgive and Bless (Ibn Abee Hatim). "...they forgot Allah (SWT), so He (SWT) forgot them.. (Surah Tawbah 9 : 67). Haafiz Ibn Qayyeem (rah) had clarified. "Allah (SWT) has caused His servant to forget the interests of himself and the reason for hi

Divine Names & Attributes Al-Jab'baar can be translated 2 ways: The Ever-Compeller and The Ever-Restorer SWT. One's faith corresponds with one's knowledge thus the more ones knowledge of one's Lord SWT increases, the more ones faith increases. And the closest way to attain this is through the contemplation of His SWT Names and Attributes from the Qur aan. Whoever would like to know what Shaytaan's authority over him is should then look at what he does in privacy (Baihaqi).

Divine Names & Attributes And The Ever Doer of Good (SWT) is the most honourable of all that is known - thus the knowledge of His Names is the most noble of all sciences (Haafiz Ibn al-Arabee [rah]). "This Name (ie Allah [SWT]) is so unique and powerful that no tyrant, even those who claimed godhood, ever dared naming themselves with it. Similarly, our Beloved Messenger ﷺ himself had supplicated. "O Allah (SWT)! I ﷺ beg from You (SWT) through the medium of you being Allah (SWT).. (Abo Dawood). As a trait of Allah (SWT) being a Jab'baar (compeller) is a trait of strength, might and perfection -for His Compulsion is one of Justice and Wisdom indeed, it is a trait that coerces the tyrants and forces the wrongdoers to their knees. However, when it refers to humans, it is a trait of deficiency, injustice and tyranny.

A Glimpse into The Divine Mercy "He (SWT) gives His servant an opportunity to disobey Him (SWT), helps him (ie by allowing him or her to use His Blessings in the process) but then covers him (ie so nobody is aware) till he satisfies himself committing the sin - (SubhaanAllah) all these (factors) are the strongest motive of His love ( ie in not wanting to punish), Haafiz Ibn Qayyeem (rah). "Were it not for the calamities of the life of this world, we would then proceed to the Afterlife bankrupt, (Haafiz Ibn al-Jawzee [rah] in his Sifatus Safwah). "Allah (SWT) Created every soul and wrote their lives, their provision and (also) their tribulations," (Tirmidhi, ibn Masood ra). "I do not know what is greater -the Blessings of Allah (SWT) which He (SWT) expands for me or what He (SWT) removes from me. (Baihaqi). "By Allah (SWT)! Life is either wealth or poverty and I (ra) do not care of which of them I am afflicted (for) the right of Allah (SWT) is due in either of them. (Namely) lf it is wealth (then)
