Muslim marriage is the great blessing from Allah Almighty that is also the Sunnah of our beloved prophet Muhammad (pbuh). Today we will share some of the marriage quotations that we have picked up through Quran Recitation and form Hadith of Muhammad (pbuh). It will definitely be interesting for common people but will be valuable more for Muslim visitors on this page.

• “A group of three men came to the houses of the wives of the Prophet asking how the Prophet worshipped (Allah), and when they were informed about that, they considered their worship insufficient and said, “Where we are from the Prophet as his past and future sins have been forgiven.” Then one of them said, “I will present the prayer all through the night perpetually.” The other said, “I will fast all through the year and will not break my fast.” The third said, “I will keep away from the women and will not marry forever.” Muhammad (pbuh) came to them and said, “Are you the same people who said so-and-so? By Allah, I am more obedient to Allah and more frightened of Him than you; yet I fast and break my fast, I do sleep and I also marry women. So he who does not follow my custom in religion, is not from my followers.” narrated by Anas bin Maalik:
• Top of Form`O young people! Whoever among you can support a wife should marry, for that is more modest for the gaze and safer for your private parts.’ Said by Muhammad (pbuh).
• “Nikah (marriage) is my Sunna. He who spurns my Sunna is not of me. “said by prophet (pbuh).
• “A man marries a woman for four causes: for her property, for her position, for her beauty, and for her religion (and character). So marry the one who is best in the religion and character and prosper”. (Bukhari and Muslim)
• “When a man marries, he has fulfilled half of his religion, so let him fear Allah as regards the remaining half.”
• `The most awful among you are your bachelors.
• “The whole world is pleasure, and the best pleasure of the world is the righteous woman.”

Hope this will be encouraging for all Muslims to avoid evils. InshaAllah

Zakat is one of the most important pillars of Islam that helps to purify our wealth every year by giving the right part of wealth to the needy and poor people. Allah Almighty categorized the eligible persons of Zakat. Professional teachers in Online Quran program teach us about the five pillars of Islam and now days giving lecture on Zakat as the holy month Ramadan is near to come. The categories are eight that we will discuss one by one.

• The poor is eligible to receive the amount of Zakat to fulfill his needs, the amount could be in the form of drinks, foods, housing, clothing or in term of cash.
• The needy or called Miskeen who have more or less poverty then a poor man in all matters. Prophet (p.b.u.h) said that “The Miskeen is not the one who goes around among the people (begging) maybe receiving a crumb or two, and a date or two. Rather, the Miskeen is the one who does not have enough wealth to be enough him, however he does not let others know about it in order to be given donations and he does not stand and request people.” (Al-Bukhari)
• The slaves or the new Muslims those don’t have sufficient wealth to satisfied their needs.
• We can give Zakat to non-Muslims that they may convert to Islam.
• To the person who can’t pay off the debt.
• You can give the Zakat to the wayfarer who spent all the money in travel even if he is rich man in his town.
• If you failed to find such kind of persons then give Zakat in the way of Allah.

All in all, pay it with the intention of paying due Zakat that is compulsory to pay. Online Quran also teach us that we should also prepare our goal to pay it solely for the sake of Allah with the honest intention as it is a state for the acceptance of every act or worship.

There are thousands of thousands ways to get heaven or hell. It’s up to you that what choice you have for yourself. Quran itself mentioned the ways that you can adopt for yourself to be the part of heaven or hell. We all need to focus ourselves towards Quran Learning. Here are some of the ways mentioned through which you can be the part of heaven.

• Avoid Evils: There are some acts that are always considered wrong no matter what intention you have, no matter what circumstances are there that are called Mortal Sins, can condemn a person to hell. Other type of sins called Venial Sins that mean the sins that are not seriously wrong.

• Repent, if you have done evil or bad deed: If you have done any actual mortal sin and you never repent in your whole life even once then surely you will get the fire of hell. So always repent seriously whenever you done the sin intentionally or UN intentionally. Get spiritual love of Allah Almighty if you want to be forgiven by Allah from the hell fire.

• Do good always: If you have done anything wrong and at the same time you repent seriously before you die then surly Allah Almighty have the heaven for you. And at the same time if you have done some selfless good deeds, acts and love for others or for your neibours then surly you will go to the heavens. There are some of good selfless deeds that you may adopt: e.g. worship of Allah, helping needy people, and giving the knowledge of Islam to others for the sake of Allah.

So if you failed some time to perform good deeds then try again for some other goodness. Try to be sincere with your GOD, religion and moral truth.  Do well to every one without selfishness and repent if you have done anything wrong and avoid eternal death of hell. Do concentrate on Quran Learning to avoid hell fire. Allah Almighty is the greater merciful who is waiting f fulfill the heavens.

We Muslims are blessed with a divine Book from Allah (SWT) and this is Full Of Knowledge And Information for the entire mankind to take advantage, understand, recite, follow and achieve the true rewards which our Lord has set for us.

However, we know that Quran was revealed in Arabic which is not understood by everyone, thus it required translation and explanation in different languages known as Tafseer. Following are some of the very translation in English from Quran (Quran Online for more information):

“We have sent down to you the book in truth that you may judge between men, as Allah guides you; so don’t be an advocate for those who betray their trust.” [al-Qur'an, 4:105]

“We have sent down to you the message that you may explain clearly to people what has been sent to them, and that they think over it.” [16:44]

“We sent down the Book to you for the express purpose that you should make clear to them those things in which they differ, and that it should be a guide and a mercy to those who believe.” [16:64]

This is why the Prophet (PBUH) said: “Know that I have been given the Qur’an and something like it” [Ahmad, Musnad, Vol. IV 131; Abu Dawood, Sunan, Sunnah, 5], namely the Sunnah. In fact, the Sunnah, too has been given to him through wahy (inspiration) as the Qur’an, except that it has not been recited to him as the Qur’an. Imam al-Shaafi`ee and other scholars have advanced a number of arguments in support of this point; but this is not the place to quote them. [For discussion see al-Shaafi`ee, al-Risaalah]

(In the Name of Allah (SWT), Most Gracious, Most Merciful, all praise and thanks are due to Allah, Lord of the Realms and peace and blessings be upon His Messenger (SAWS) and upon all his family and companions)

Surat-ul-Qadr (97)(With English translation)

إِنَّآ أَنزَلۡنَـٰهُ فِى لَيۡلَةِ ٱلۡقَدۡرِ
We have indeed revealed this (Quran) in the Night of Power (al-Qadr): (1)
وَمَآ أَدۡرَٮٰكَ مَا لَيۡلَةُ ٱلۡقَدۡرِ
And what will explain to you what the Night of Power is? (2)
لَيۡلَةُ ٱلۡقَدۡرِ خَيۡرٌ۬ مِّنۡ أَلۡفِ شَہۡرٍ۬
The Night of Power is better than a thousand months. (3)
تَنَزَّلُ ٱلۡمَلَـٰٓٮِٕكَةُ وَٱلرُّوحُ فِيہَا بِإِذۡنِ رَبِّہِم مِّن كُلِّ أَمۡرٍ۬
Therein descend the angels and the ruh (Jibrail) by Allah’s permission, on every errand: (4)
سَلَـٰمٌ هِىَ حَتَّىٰ مَطۡلَعِ ٱلۡفَجۡرِ
Peace!… This until the rise of dawn (5)

Without a doubt it is to say that this is the very night of which the glory cannot be matched with no other night and this is where one is to understand that this very night is better than 1000 months of worship and this is the night in which Allah (SWT) has laid importance to it and have offered great rewards for such preferred practices.

This is the night in which Allah (SWT) revealed the Greatest of His Book to Mankind on our Beloved Prophet (SAWS), The Quran and this is where you are to know that the blessings, mercy, forgiveness, prayers, worship, duas and acts / practices all are watched over and the rewards are there and then given. All you need is appropriate actions and intentions to make it happen.
