If you want to perfect your prayers, begin by praying them on time. While you begin to pray them on time consistenly, understand the reasons behind your prayer. Understand the importance of the prayer. Be aware of what you’re saying, who you’re saying it to, and how you’re…

**The awakening moment** (Reading time: 45 seconds)

In today’s world, it is very easy to “immerse” oneself into the pleasures of dunya that you literally end up “forgetting yourself”. The hours of internet we spend, the movies we watch, work we do.. all can be exceptionally distracting from our true purpose in life.

But there are moments, when you’re in the midst of immersing yourself into dunya… then out of nowhere, a thought crosses your mind that reminds you of Allah, or the Messenger of Allah (Peace be upon him), or Day of Judgement, and at that moment you literally wake up and suddenly you’re more “aware” of your creator and purpose of life.

I call this moment, the awakening moment. And we really need to make most of such moments and exercise our hearts and souls to experience it more often.

The reason these moments are so important to a ProductiveMuslim/Muslimah, is that they relate to an important concept that is the basis of all the work we do as Muslims _Sincerity_.

In order to have true sincerity in everything we do, we need to be at that level of awareness at all times. This will result in our productivity being rewarded and blessed by Allah (Subhanahu Wa Ta’ala).

Sincerity is not a passing thought, or an action of the tongue/heart that you do before a task. It’s a consistent self-reminder that you’re doing this action for the sake of Allah only and nothing else.

Let us all ‘wake up’ and wake each other up to lead truly sincere productive lives inshaAllah.

-Abu Productive

“Pakai jubah dan tudung labuh sampai lutut, jumpa ajnabi tunduk ke bumi. Tetapi bila berbual terlupa nak jaga hati … Duduk depan komputer, jari ligat menekan laman demi laman internet, bergurau senda dengan lelaki sampaikan ayat-ayatnya sangat memalukan bagi seorang wanita andai punya perasaan malu menuturkannya. Iskkk, susahnya nak jaga hati.”

____________ Story of Sa-ad al Aswad as Sulumi ____________

_______No one give him their daughter to marry ________

At the time of the Muhammed (s), a man came to the prophet named Sa’ad AlAswad AlSulumi and asked him,

“Oh, messenger of God, will I also enter into Heaven (jannah).”

The messenger responded, “Of course you will enter into Heaven if you are a believer.”

Sa’ad responded, “But me, I’m regarded as low amongst the believers.”

The prophet said, “Oh Sa’ad for you is the same reward as the rest of the believers,”

And Sa’ad asked, “then why would no one give me their daughter to marry.”

The prophet told him to go to Ibn AlWahab, and he was one of the leaders of Medina who had just embraced Islam, and his daughter was known for her beauty. The prophet told Sa’ad go to Ibn AlWahab and tell him that I have sent you to request his daughters hand in marriage.”

Sa’ad went to the home of Ibn AlWahab looking for him. He was besides himself with excitement. He knocked on the door and said to Ibn AlWahab,The prophet has sent me to request your daughters hand in marriage.

Ibn AlWahab exclaimed, “You! To my daughter! Don’t you know my daughter! She’s known for her beauty,” and he told Sa’ad to go home. As Sa’ad began to walk away,

the daughter heard this, and said, “Oh father, wait. Wait! This is a request of the Messenger of Allah. Where will we be if we turn down a request of the prophet?! Where will we be if we turn away from the concerns of the messenger?! I’ll tell you where we will be. We will be where we are!”

And she turned to Sa’ad and said, “Go to the messenger of Allah, and tell him I am ready to marry you.” Sa’ad went to the prophet and he was elated!

The prophet married them with a  dowry of 400 dirhams (Money paid to bride at the time of marriage). Upon hearing that amount,

Sa’ad exclaimed, “400 dirhams! Oh messenger of Allah, I have never even seen 400 dirhams!

The prophet instructed him to go to Ali AlNu’man ibn Awf and Uthman and tell them each to give you 200 dirhams each. They both gave him more than 200 dirhams.

On his way home to see his wife, he decides to stop by the marketplace to buy some gift for his beautiful wife. While at the market place, he hears the call to arms to prepare for battle. Sa’ad stood where he was and looked into the heavens. He said, “Oh Allah, I will buy something with this wealth that will please you. Oh Allah.” He bought a sword and a horse and he covered his face from the view of the messenger. He knew that if the prophet saw him he would send him home because he had just gotten married. The Sahabi were questioning, “who is this man riding into battle with his face covered?” Ali replied, “He is coming to fight, leave him.” Sa’ad valiantly rode into battle, and eventually his horse was struck. He stood up, and the prophet saw his dark skin.

The prophet asked him, “Oh Sa’ad is that you?!” Sa’ad said, “May my mother and my father be sacrificed for you oh messenger of Allah. It is Sa’ad. Muhammad, pbuh, said, “Oh Sa’ad there is no other abode for you but jannah.” He heard this and jumped back into the battlefield. After a while, people called that Sa’ad was wounded.

The prophet ran into the battlefield. He ran to find Sa’ad. He took the head of Sa’ad and placed it in his lap. The tears of the prophet were flowing and falling onto the face of Sa’ad. The prophet was crying profusely. After a while, he started to smile, then he looked away.

There was a sahaba named Abu Lubaba, who said “Oh Rasullulah, I saw you do something, I’ve never seen you do before. First you cried, then you smiled, then you looked away.”

The Messenger said, “I cried because my beloved companion passed away. And I saw his sacrifice and his love for me. But when I saw his fate is by Allah, he had reached the hawd.” Abu Lubaba said, “What is the hawd?” He responded, “it is a fountain from which if a person drinks from, they will never be thirsty again. It is sweeter than honey and whiter than milk. And when I saw his status by Allah, I began to smile. Then I saw his wives in jannah running towards him with such eagerness that their shins were being exposed, so I looked away.” ( Point to be noted check below )

Then the prophet came towards the sahaba and asked them to bring Sa’ad’s horse and sword. He then told them to take them to Sa’ad’s wife, and tell her that they were her inheritance. And also inform her that Allah has given Sa’ad wives in jannah even more beautiful than she is. This was a man, who a while ago, didn’t know if he would attain jannah. He had no status in society. But look at his status by Allah! Because he lived- he died-  for Allah.

…………. Beautiful right? SubhanAllah~

____________________________________________________________
As soon as i heard this story, by Shaykh Zahir Mahmood on the Sahabi Sa’ad Al Aswad As-Sulumi, i was left with my mouth open in shock. The sacrifice of Sa’ad is truely inspirational.

Lessons in it some are,
1) to love and fight for Allah before anything and anyone

2) (for our sisters) dont look for only looks wihtin a man but look into his heart, for looks will go away once one ends, however Iman will always be with you two through out your love life insha’Allah. And

3) is not to look down on yourself, weather your black white Arab non Arab whatever you are, the only things which make us differnt is our good and bad deeds, nothing else really matters.

4)Prophet Muhammed (s) Look away when shins of female exposed Masahallah He was so Modest and he taught modesty i am so proud i am one of his follower and we follow him and respect women as he taught i ask you believer do you lower your gaze when you see Non marham (opposite sex) ?

PLEASE SHARE insha’Allah and may Allah grant us jannah like this beloved companion Sa’ad Al Aswad As Sulumi entered. AMEEN  _______________________________________________________
