How can you gain the love of allah the almighty?

All praise be to allah the almighty. non has the right to be worshipped except allah alone, and peace be upon his prophet muhammad, his family,wives, relatives and companions,

the most important thing in the daily life of any muslim is following the sunnah (way) of the prophet – peace be upon him – in all of his actions, deeds, and sayings in order to organize his life according to the propheticsunnah, from the morning to the evening.

Thun -noon al masri, said:

(one of the signs of loving allah the almighty is following the sunnah of his prophet – peace be upon him – in his morals, deeds, orders and actions.

Allah the almighty said: {say, [o muhammad], “if you should love allah, then follow me, [so] allah will love you and forgive your sins. and allah is forgiving and merciful} (al-imran: 31).

Al hassan al basri said, explaining the above mentioned verse: the sign of their love to allah is following the sunnah of his prophet – peace be upon him – because the rank of the believer can be measured by the extent of following the prophet – peace be upon him – therefore, as much as he is following the sunnah, allah will give him a higher rank.

Therefore, i have collected this brief search for the sake of reviving the sunna of the prophet – peace be upon him – in the daily life of all muslims; in their worship, eating, drinking, dealing with people, ablution, their ingress and egress, wearing clothes and all their activities and actions during the day.

Just think when a person loses a sum of money, he will search hardly to find such amount, but will he exert the same care for any forgotten prophetic sunnah in order to apply it in his daily life??

The problem today is that we take care of our properties more than the sunnah, to the degree that if someone promised a sum of money to the one who keeps the prophet’s sunnah , you will find people very keen to apply the sunnah in their life affairs because they are looking for money.

But what is the use of money when you are lodged in your grave and the people pour soil on you.

Allah the almighty said: {but you prefer the worldly life* while the hereafter is better and more enduring} (al-a’laa: 16-17).

the sunnah is (prophetic deeds, actions, habit, way of life) the deeds

for which you will be rewarded if you apply it but you won’t be punished

if you leave it. the sunnah is repeated day and night and is easy to be

applied be every one of us.

And i noticed that every person, if applying the daily prophetic deeds,

will apply more than one thousand prophetic deeds per day in all fields

of his life affairs.

So the purpose of this search is to introduce the easiest mean of applying such daily prophetic deeds, which exceed one thousand per day and thirty thousand per month.

Therefore, how much will you lose if you don’t know such prophetic deeds or if you know them but don’t apply!!

The advantages of applying the prophetic deeds:

1- reaching to the rank of love by allah.

2- compensating any shortage in the religious duties.

3- preserving from committing heresies.

4- respecting the religious rituals.

What are the Sunnahs Performed before Jumu’a Prayer?


Purifying yourself and wearing perfume.

 Prophet Muhammad PBUH said, "If a man takes a bath on Friday, purifies himself thoroughly, uses oil and perfume which is available in the house, sets forth for the mosque, does not (forcibly) sit between two persons, offers the prayer that is prescribed for him and listens to the Imam silently, his sins between this Friday and the previous Friday will be forgiven."

-Wearing the best of his clothes.

 Prophet Muhammad used to wear the best of his clothes in the jumu’a prayers and upon meeting with delegations.

-Being early for the prayer.

Prophet Muhammad PBUH said, "He who takes a bath on Friday, like the bath for ceremonial purity, and then goes (to the mosque), he is like one who offers a camel as a sacrifice to seek the Pleasure of Allah; and he who comes at the second hour is like one who offers a cow to win the Pleasure of Allah; and he who comes at the third hour is like one who offers a ram with horns (in sacrifice); and he who comes at the fourth hour is like one who offers a hen; and he who comes at the fifth hour is like one who offers an egg. And when the Imam ascends the pulpit, the angels (who write the names of those who come to the mosque before the coming of the Imam) close (their record) in order to listen to the Khutbah."

-To walk to the masjid, as the Prophet PBUH said, “Whoever takes a bath on Friday, goes early, walks and does not ride (to the mosque), sits close to the Imam and listens to him, and does not engage in idle talk; for every step he takes he will have the reward of one year, the reward of a year’s fasting and praying (at night).”

In every step he takes, he will be rewarded and a sin will be wiped away.

-Be near to the Imam, as the Prophet said,”Let those of you who are mature and prudent be nearer to me, and then those who are next to them."

-To perform Ghusul.

The Prophet PBUH said, "Doing ghusl as prescribed for major ritual impurity is incumbent (wajib) on the day of jumua on every male who has reached puberty.

Reading the whole Quran every Month

the prophet pbuh said:” read the quran every month” narrated by abu dawod 

The easy way to achieve this:

try to arrive to the masjid 10 minutes before each prayer, so that you would be able to read two pages; 4 faces before or after every prayer. this way you are going to be able to finish 10 pages a day; that equals a whole part. this is the way how you will be able to complete reading the whole quran every month.

Meditating upon Allah’s Favors

He (pbuh) said: (meditate upon allah’s boons, but, do not meditate upon allah). narrated by at-tabarani in “al-awsat” and al-bayhaqi in “al-shi’ab”. al-albani said it is good.

one of the things that repeat several times, during the muslim’s day and night, is his sense of allah’s favor upon him. there are many situations and many scenes that a muslim see and hear about during his day and night, and which require that he thinks and meditates upon these favors, which he has blessed with, and praise allah for it.

1-  have you sensed allah’s favor upon you, when you go to the mosque? and how some people around you have been deprived of this favor, especially at the time of fajr (dawn) prayer, when you look at the muslims’ homes, while are in a deep sleep, as if they were dead?

2- have you sensed allah’s favor upon you, when you walk in the street and see the various scenes; this has had an accident and this, satan’s voice (singing) comes out of his car loudly and so on?

3- have you sensed allah’s favor upon you, when you hear or read the world news, including famines, floods, the spread of diseases, accidents, earthquakes, wars and homelessness?

i say that the successful slave: is the one from whose heart, feeling and sensation, allah’s favor upon him never vanishes, in every situation and every scene. he remains constantly praising allah and thanking him for his favors, which he has been blessed with, such as: religion, health, prosperity and safety from evils…

in the hadith (the prophet’s saying), he (pbuh) said: (if someone sees an ill person and thus says: “all praise is to allah who has protected me against what he has afflicted you with and who has graced me over many of whom he has created with marked graciousness”, he will never be afflicted with this scourge). at-termithi said that this is a good hadith.
