Story:

Bilal (R.A)

Bilal (R.A) was the slave of Umayyah, Umayyah

believed in many gods and worshiped idols. When

Bilal (R.A) became a Muslim, Umayyah did not like it

so he told Bilal (R.A) to leave Islam and come worship

idols with him. When Bilal (R.A) refused his master's

order, Umayyah became angry with him and

decided to punish him.

As his punishment, Umayyah made Bilal lie on the

burning sand under the hot son. Then Umayyah

placed a heavy stone on Bilal's chest and said "Give

up Islam or die!" Bilal (R.A) suffered so much pain but

he did not give up Islam. He would only say "Allah is

One, Allah is One!"

Umayyah, along with the others, took turns to

whip Bilal (R.A) and he was left in the sun to suffer

more. Then they came back, held Bilal (R.A) from his

tied hands and dragged him in the streets. But Bilal

(R.A) was patient and kept repeating the same

words "Allah is One, Allah is One!"

At last, Abu Bakr (R.A) bought Bilal (R.A) from

Umayyah and set him free. Bilal (R.A) became the

first Muezzin of Islam and a close friend of Prophet

Muhammad ملسو هيلع هللا ىلص.

The Creator of the Worlds

Prophet Ibraheem (A.S) said to his father

and his people, "What do you worship?" They

said "We worship idols." Ibrahim (A.S) asked "Do

they listen to you when you call on them? Do

they do you any good or any harm?" They

replied "No, but we found our fathers doing so."

Prophet Ibraheem (A.S) then told the

people "The things that you worship are my

enemies. I worship the Creator of the Worlds. He

created me and He guides me. He gives me

food and drink. And when I am ill, He cures me.

He will cause me to die and then to live again

and who I hope will forgive my faults on the Day

of Judgement."

The first man to be created by Allah هلالج لج was Adam

communicate his thoughts, plants and animals

cannot do that. Who gave all this to Adam (A.S)?

Indeed it is Allah هلالج لج , the Giver of Life. Allah هلالج لج gave

A prayer for help

Once Prophet Muhammad ملسو هيلع هللا ىلص and his companions were

faced by an enemy of 1000 people at a place called Badr. At that

time the Muslims had only 2 horses and about 70 camels. The

place where they were camped had very dry, loose sand which

made it difficult to walk and there was no source of water

anywhere near them to drink.

However, their enemy had all the benefits; they were in

greater number, they had all kinds of weapons and they were

camped at a site where the ground was hard. They also had a

few wells that provided them with drinking water.

Prophet Muhammad ملسو هيلع هللا ىلص lifted his hands and made dua unto

Allah هلالج لج to help the Muslims against their enemy. Allah هلالج لج

answered his dua and caused a rainfall which hardened the

ground as well as providing fresh water to drink. At the same

time, this rainfall had caused the ground on the enemy side to

become slippery and the water in their wells became muddy

and undrinkable.

The following day, Allah هلالج لج helped the Muslims to fight

against their enemy by sending down angels to fight with them.

In the end the Muslims had defeated their enemy with the help

from Allah هلالج لج who is All-Hearing.

Umar (R.A)

During the time when Umar (R.A) was the leader

of the Muslims, he was walking in the streets of

Madina and as he passed by a certain house he

heard voices coming from inside. A women and her

daughter were having a conversation, the mother

said "Let us mix some water with the milk, we can

make more money because we are poor. We need

the money and nobody will know what we did."

After hearing what her mother said, the daughter

replied "No, it is wrong to mix water with the milk and

then to sell the milk. It is against Umar (R.A)'s ruling

and it is dishonest." The mother replied "Umar (R.A) is

not here and he does not know what we are doing."

The daughter replied to her mother by saying "We

must obey Umar (R.A), even if he is not here. Besides,

he may not know but how can we hide from Allah هلالج لج

? He sees everything and knows all."

After hearing their conversation, Umar (R.A)

walked off silently because he was very pleased with

the girl.

Allah can see you anywhere

Junayd was a man who lived in Baghdad. He was a very religious

person (saint) and had many followers. Among his followers,

one of them was his favorite and Junayd noticed that some of

the other followers were jealous of the favorite one.

One day, Junayd called all his followers to meet with him. He

said to them "Each one of you will take a chicken and slaughter

it in a place where no one can see you. Then bring the meat to

me. I am going to have a special dish prepared for you." All his

followers went in their own direction and began slaughtering

their chicken in a place where they thought nobody could see

them.

Later in the day, all of the followers returned with the meat

except for the favorite one who came back with his chicken still

alive. Junayd asked him "Why did you not slaughter the

chicken?" He replied "I could not find such a place where no one

could see me. No matter where I went Allah هلالج لج could still see

me!" After hearing what he said, Junayd turned to the other

followers and said "Now, do you see why I like him so much?"

A mother's love

Prophet Muhammad ملسو هيلع هللا ىلص was sitting and talking to his

companions (R.A). Then a man came up to them and said

"a wonderful thing happened, I was passing by a bush and

heard a chirping noise. I peeped in and saw two young

pigeons. I picked them up in my wrapper and started

walking. By this time the mother pigeon came back to see

her nest was empty. She began flying above us. As I

opened my wrapper and how strange! The mother pigeon

came down into my wrapper and sat over her young

ones. See! They are still in my wrapper."

Prophet Muhammad ملسو هيلع هللا ىلص saw the birds and said to the

man, "Go at once and put them back in their nest. A

mother has much love for her young ones. However, my

companions, Allah هلالج لج has far more love and concern for

The blind snake

A gang of robbers were on their way to their

destination. They began to feel hungry and stopped

at a place where they saw three date trees. Two of

the three trees were green and had fruit growing on

them but the third one was dry and had no fruit or

leaves.

One member of the gang saw a bird flying with

fruit from the green tree and taking it to the dry tree.

This happened a few times until the robber became

curious. He wanted to know what the bird was doing

with the fruit. So, he climbed up the tree and saw a

snake at the top of it. The snake was blind and its

mouth was open. The bird was putting dates in its

mouth. When the robber saw this, he was surprised

and began to cry. He said " O Allah, you have

caused this bird to provide for the snake with food

and I am busy robbing others."

Through this the robber saw the kindness of Allah

هلالج لج The robber broke his sword and begged Allah . هلالج لج

to forgive him. He told his partners what he saw and

they all broke their swords and decided to give up

their evil ways.

The fish in the sea

Prophet Muhammad ملسو هيلع هللا ىلص sent a group of

three-hundred men towards the sea-shore on a

mission. Before they left he gave each person a

bag full of dates. After 15 days had passed the

dates began to slowly finish and the men ran

short of food. The Ameer collected all the dates

that were left with each person and stored

them in a bag. He would give one date to each

person for the day and at last when all the

dates were finished the men began to worry.

During all this hardship, the men made sabr

and were patient and Allah هلالج لج had mercy on

them and they arrieved near the sea. A big fish

known as 'ambar' came to shore. It was so big

that they lived on it for 18 days. They also filled

their bags with the remaining portion which

lasted them until they reached Madeena.

When this event was related to Prophet

Muhammad ملسو هيلع هللا ىلص he said "the fish was provided for

you by Allah هلالج لج .

Asking for Allah هلالج لج's help

The Quraysh army, who were the enemies of the Muslims,

had about 1,000 men in their army. The men were fully armed

and had come to fight the Muslims. The Muslims at the time had

about 300 men and only 2 horses. Most of them had swords but

only a few men had armor.

The armies met at a place called Badr. Prophet Muhammad

prayed to Allah "O Allah! We need your help! If this small ملسو هيلع هللا ىلص

group of ours is killed, there would be none left to worship you.

Neither our number nor our strength is of any use. Your help

alone can save us!" The Prophet Muhammad ملسو هيلع هللا ىلص urged the

Muslims to fight and said "those who died fighting the enemy,

would get Jannah."

Although the Muslims were all on foot and 300 of the

enemy men were on horseback, Allah هلالج لج had sent down angels

to help the Muslims fight, the Muslims fought very bravely and

won the battle. In the end, the Muslims lost 14 men, the enemy

lost 70 men and 70 were taken as prisoners.

Protected by Allah هلالج لج

When the people of Makkah planned to kill

Prophet Muhammad ملسو هيلع هللا ىلص, he and his companion, Abu

Bakr (R.A) left Makkah to go to Madina. After they

left, men were sent in all directions to look for him

and a reward of 100 camels was offered to anyone

who captured Prophet Muhammad ملسو هيلع هللا ىلص.

The Prophet Muhammad ملسو هيلع هللا ىلص and Abu Bakr (R.A)

hid in a cave in Mount Thoor. One search party

reached the entrance of the cave, they were so

close to the cave that those inside the cave could

hear their voices. Abu Bakr was concerned, he said

"O Messenger of Allah, the enemy will see us!" The

Prophet Muhammad ملسو هيلع هللا ىلص was calm, he replied "don’t

be afraid! Surely Allah is with us."

Then a voice was heard from the outside of the

cave saying, "nobody has entered the cave. Look at

the spider's web over the entrance of the cave!" The

search party left the cave and went in another

direction. The Prophet Muhammad ملسو هيلع هللا ىلص and Abu Bakr

(R.A) were protected by Allah هلالج لج and no one could

harm them.
