Allah’s Apostle (pbuh) said, “Our Lord, the Blessed, the Superior, comes every night down on the nearest Heaven to us when the last third of the night remains, saying: “Is there anyone to invoke Me, so that I may respond to invocation?
Is there anyone to ask Me, so that I may grant him his request?
Is there anyone seeking My forgiveness, so that I may forgive him?”

[Bukhari Book:21 No:246]

Narrated by Salman-Al-Farsi

The Prophet (Peace Be Upon Him) said, “Whoever takes a bath on Friday, purifies himself as much as he can, then uses his (hair) oil or perfumes himself with the scent of his house, then proceeds (for the Jumua prayer) and does not separate two persons sitting together (in the mosque), then prays as much as (Allah has) written for him and then remains silent while the Imam is delivering the Khutba, his sins in-between the present and the last Friday would be forgiven.”
Sahih Bukhari Volume 2, Book 13, Number 8

“Abu Huraira r.a related that the Prophet Rasulullah (s.a.w) said, ‘for any trouble, illness, worry, grief hurt, or sorrow which afflicts a Muslim, even the prick of a thorn, Allah removes in its stead some of his (minor) sins”(Bukhari, Muslim) So if this person remains patient then its something good but if he is not patient then it becomes evil.”

“Patience comes only by the help of Allah. He praised those who have patience and promised them the best of rewards: the rewards of others are defined and limited, but the reward of as-sabirun is without measure. Patience is vital at all levels of Islam, iman and ihsan, as well as being a major element in iman (faith) and tawakkul (putting one’s trust in Allah). Patience for the sake of Allah, by the help of Allah, and in accepting the decree of Allah.”

1. Patience for the sake of Allah, hoping for His rewards and fearing His punishment.

2. Patience by the help of Allah, as man realizes that he has no patience himself, and has no power to acquire patience. Rather, he knows: “there is no power and no strength except by (the help of) Allah.”

3. Patience in accepting the decree of Allah, as man realizes that Allah is the only one Who is controlling the affairs of the universe, so he will patiently accept the ruling and decree of Allah, regardless of what it may mean for him in the way of ease or hardship.

Patience is a half of Iman Iman is in two halves: half is patience (sabr) and half is gratitude (shukr). Therefore Allah has mentioned patience and gratitude alongside one another: “… Verily in this are signs for all who constantly persevere and give thanks” (Ibrahim 14: 5; Luqman 31:31; Saba 34: 19; ash-Shura 42: 33) The reasons why one half of iman is patience and the other half is gratitude are as follows: Iman is a term which covers words, deeds and intentions, all of which are based on one of two things, action or abstinence. Action refers to performing a deed in accordance with the instructions of Allah, which is the reality of gratitude. Abstinence, as in refraining from wrong action, requires patience. The whole of religion is embodied in these two things: carrying out that which Allah has commanded, and refraining from that which Allah has prohibited. Iman is based on two pillars, yaqin (conviction) and patience, which are referred to in the following ayah: “And We appointed, from among them, leaders, giving guidance under Our command, so long as they persevered with patience and continued to have faith in Our Signs” (As-Sajdah 32: 24) It is through faith that we know the reality of Allah’s commands and prohibitions, of reward and punishment, and it is through patience that we carry out His instructions and abstain from that which He has prohibited. Man is constantly being pulled in two opposing directions: should he respond to the lure of this world of desires and pleasures, or should he answer the call of Allah and the hereafter, with the eternal Paradise that Allah has prepared for His friend (Wali)? Going against the call of whims and desires is patience, and responding to the call of Allah and the hereafter is gratitude.

Whoever asks Allah for Jannah three times, Jannah will say: “O Allah, enter him into Jannah.” [Tirmidhi]

Allahumma inni as alukal jannah
Allahumma inni as alukal jannah
Allahumma inni as alukal jannah….

Narrated by Abu Huraira:
The Prophet (peace be upon him) said, “The Hour (Last Day) will not be established until (religious) knowledge will be taken away (by the death of religious learned men), earthquakes will be very frequent, time will pass quickly, afflictions will appear, murders will increase and money will overflow amongst you.”
[Bukhari]

Anas (May Allah be pleased with him) reported that: The Messenger of Allah (PBUH) said, “When Allah intends good for His slave, He punishes him in this world, but when He intends an evil for His slave, He does not hasten to take him to task but calls him to account on the Day of Resurrection.”
[At-Tirmidhi].

Allaah’s Messenger (salallaahu ‘alaihi wa’sallam) said:-

“Richness is not having many belongings, but richness is the richness of the soul” (contentment).
Muslim -2/501/ # 2287

Abu Hurairah (May Allah be pleased with him) reported: Messenger of Allah (PBUH) said, “Allah, the Exalted, has said: `I will declare war against him who treats with hostility a pious worshipper of Mine. And the most beloved thing with which My slave comes nearer to Me, is what I have enjoined upon him; and My slave keeps on coming closer to Me through performing Nawafil (voluntary prayers or doing extra deeds besides what is obligatory) until I love him, (so much so that) I become his hearing with which he hears, and his sight with which he sees, and his hand with which he strikes, and his leg with which he walks; and if he asks Me something, I will surely give him, and if he seeks My Protection (refuge), I will surely protect him”.
[Al-Bukhari]

Allah’s Apostle (SA) said,”No calamity befalls a Muslim but that Allah expiates some of his sins because of it, even though it were the prick he receives from a thorn.”
[Sahih Bukhari]

24:55
وَعَدَ اللَّهُ الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا مِنكُمْ وَعَمِلُوا الصَّالِحَاتِ لَيَسْتَخْلِفَنَّهُم فِي الْأَرْضِ كَمَا اسْتَخْلَفَ الَّذِينَ مِن قَبْلِهِمْ وَلَيُمَكِّنَنَّ لَهُمْ دِينَهُمُ الَّذِي ارْتَضَى لَهُمْ وَلَيُبَدِّلَنَّهُم مِّن بَعْدِ خَوْفِهِمْ أَمْنًا يَعْبُدُونَنِي لَا يُشْرِكُونَ بِي شَيْئًا وَمَن كَفَرَ بَعْدَ ذَلِكَ فَأُوْلَئِكَ هُمُ الْفَاسِقُونَ

Allah has promised those among you who believe, and do righteous good deeds, that He will certainly grant them succession to (the present rulers) in the earth, as He granted it to those before them, and that He will grant them the authority to practise their religion, that which He has chosen for them (i.e. Islam). And He will surely give them in exchange a safe security after their fear (provided) they (believers) worship Me and do not associate anything (in worship) with Me. But whoever disbelieved after this, they are the rebellious sinners.

مَنْ قَتَلَ نَفْسًا مُعَاهَدًا لَمْ يَرَحْ رَائِحَةَ الْجَنَّةِ، وَإِنَّ رِيحَهَا يُوجَدُ مِنْ مَسِيرَةِ أَرْبَعِينَ عَامًا
Whoever kills a person protected by a treaty will never smell the fragrance of Paradise, and indeed its fragrance can be found a distance of forty years of travel. [Sahih Bukhari, Volume 9, Book 83, Number 49]

Narrated Abu Huraira: Allah’s Apostle said, “When anyone of you stands for the prayers, Satan comes and puts him in doubts till he forgets how many Rakat he has prayed. So if this happens to anyone of you, he should perform two prostrations of Sahu while sitting {Sahih Bukhari, Volume 2, Book 22, Number 324}

Umar ibn al-Khattaab (may Allaah be pleased with him):”If you see that one of you has slipped, correct him, pray for him and do not help Shaytan against him (by insulting him, etc.).”[Tafseer al-Qurtubi, 15/256]

Cause everyone is going to slip, & have there ups and down in their Imaan. But at least they are trying to get back up on their feet and return back to the Deen. Its our job to help each other stay on the right path however, now a days if someone ends up slipping we begin to judge them and forget about them. It should not be like that, instead we should make Dua for one another and help them from not falling too far from the deen, we need to help each other strive for Jannah.!

“On the Day of Judgement Allah will give the shade of the Arsh (Throne), to seven, when there will be no shade but the shade of the Arsh….(the last type of person is) a person who praises (remembers) Allah in seclusion and his eyes are then flooded with tears.” [Sahih al-Bukhari]

The Prophet (peace be upon him) said: “The one who repents from a sin is like one who has no sin.” [Ibn Majah]

Al-Hassan al-Basri was once asked, “Shouldn’t we be shy in front of Allah to ask Him to forgive a sin and then we do it again, then we again ask Him to forgive the sin and we do it again?” Al-Hassan answered, ”Satan wishes that he could gain that victory over you. Do not get bored with asking forgiveness.” [Jami al-uloom wal Hikam]

Prophet Muhammad (sallallaahu ’alayhi wa sallam) said, “Du’aa’ is worship.”
(al-Tirmidhi, Hadith 3372)

The Angel of the Mountains said, “O Muhammad, order what you wish. If you like, I will let the mountains fall on them.” The Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم said, “No, I hope that Allah will bring from their descendants people who will worship Allah alone without associating partners with Him.”

[Sahih Bukhari, Volume 4, Book 54, Number 454]

The Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) quoted God as saying: “My love is obliged to those who love each other for My sake, who sit with each other for My sake, who visit each other for My sake, and who give to each other generously for My sake.”

Al-Muwattah, Volume 51, Hadith 15

Narrated By Abu Huraira : Allah’s(SWT) Apostle(PBUH) said, “One prayer in my(PBUH) Mosque is better than one thousand prayers in any other mosque excepting Al-Masjid-AI-Haram.”
Sahih Bukhari Hadith No: 1191

سُبْحَانَ اللّهِ – SubhanAllah (Glory be to Allah)

Whoever recites [the above] 100 times, 1,000 deeds are recorded for him or a 1,000 bad deeds are wiped away.
(Sahih Muslim; #4:2073)

Hisham ibn Hakim رضي الله عنه passed by some people in Syria who had been made to stand in the sun and had oil poured over their heads. He asked: “What is this?” It was said: “They are being punished for not paying taxes.” So he said: Indeed, I heard the Messenger of Allah صلى الله عليه وسلم say, “Allah will torture those who torture people in this world.”
[Sahih Muslim, Book 32, Number 6327]

Narrated Abu Huraira: I heard Allah’s Apostle saying, “If there was a river at the door of anyone of you and he took a bath in it five times a day would you notice any dirt on him?” They said, “Not a trace of dirt would be left.” The Prophet added, “That is the example of the five prayers with which Allah blots out (annuls) evil deeds.” (Sahih Al Bukhari Volume 1, Book 10, Hadith # 506)
