16th February 2016 Introduction

The study circles are gardens of paradise and Nabi (Saelleaho alehe wassalam) said when you pass through the gardens of paradise then sit in them. If you talk about Deen you are in paradise because the talk of people of paradise is all about Allah. When you believe in Allah and Tawhid of Laa ilaha ilaa then you will be able to focus on Ibadah and you will be able to establish the prayers. If you mention one ayah then it is connected to all other ayahs. Everything is connected to the religion. Wherever you are guided to come it is decreed from Allah and you have to be there. You have to establish the prayer so that you can remember Allah. This is the biggest purpose of the prayer that you remember Allah. We need to learn the names of Allah so that we can protect ourselves and improve. We will do the last part of this name but we could not give justice to this name as we don’t have complete knowledge and His knowledge is endless. We cannot tell enough about His name ever. We have to continuously think like this humbly as this is our reality. Any Name of Allah should make you happy and keen to learn more. Even the glimpse of name of Allah should make you joyful. May Allah make us to see Him and make this the coolness of our eyes. We humans make our life difficult by not believing in Allah in the correct way. He should over power us in our life. The name of Allah As Salam should make us feel peaceful. Our heart should never feel restless with this name. Every living person should want peace with His Name. Human being should feel the peace in the house and that is possible with submitting to Allah alone. You will feel peaceful when you will submit to Allah alone. When all of our society will follow what Allah says then all the society will be in peace. When you follow the rulings of Islam and love for your brother what you love for yourself then you will achieve a peaceful society. The name As Salam is really needed in our time. We need Allah for everything in our life. We should forgive people so that they forgive us. We should admit ourself to Allah so that we live peacefully, die peacefully and finally we listen Salam salam in the hereafter. We need to spread the Salam and remove negativity in the society. We should not create problems for others and give

them peace. The Salam that you get from Allah is not like anything else. A greeting from Allah is by itself a reward from Allah. We did so many applications of this Name now we will see evidence. Hadith If you want Allah to say Salam to you then you need to send Salam to Prophet Muhammad (Sallelaho alehe wasslam). Wherever you are in this world you can send Salam to the prophet its not only in madinah but you can say Salam wherever you are. You don’t need to send Salam to Prophet through someone. You don’t need to travel to that place to say Salam. You should visit Madinah to visit the Masjid e nabawi and that will be rewarded. Wherever you are your salam will reach Nabi (Sallelaho alehe wassalam). One time Prophet came to a sahabi and his face was glowing and he was happy so the sahabas asked him why he was soo happy as he might have received some glad tidings. Prophet was happy for us as he replied, It was narrated from ‘Abd-Allaah ibn Abi Talhah from his father that the Messenger of Allaah (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) came one day with evident signs of happiness on his face, and he said: “Jibreel (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) came to me and said, ‘Would it not please you, O Muhammad, to know that no one among your ummah will send blessings upon you but I will send ten blessings upon him, and no one among your ummah will send salaams upon you but I will send ten salaams upon him.” (Saheeh Sunan al-Nasaa’i, 1228) If you send salat on Nabi then you will get reward ten times. If Allah sends salat then its like praising the prophet. When we send salat then its like saying Oh Allah you praise prophet. When you say one time Allah will say Salat on us ten times. Allah will praise you 10 times. Imagine the praise of Allah, He is perfect and He will praise us. When Allah praise you then everything will praise you. This is a reward in itself. The praise of Allah is true and an honour for us. We should never expect praise from creation like us instead we should expect Allah to praise us. When Allah praises you it doesn’t matter if everyone else is dispraising you, as it will not matter. Most of the time we are worried about the people and what they will be thinking about us. You just needs to

K n o w i n g A l l a h A s S a l a m

make dua for the Prophet and you will get praise from Allah its so simple. Usually for people we work so hard to get their praise and you still don’t get appreciated. We think maybe to get praise from Allah we might have to do something very difficult but in real we can get it any time even if we are lying down. You might work really hard for humans and they still criticize you. This is the perfection of Allah that you have to be very simple to get His praise. Whoever sends Salam on the prophet as there is difference in salat or salam. Allah will send 10 Salam to the one who sends Salam to Prophet. Allah saying Salam means that you will live in peace and you will get Peace from Allah in this life and in the Here after. You can get Salam very easily from Allah. From some humans it might be very difficult to get Salam from any human. Nabi was happy because of the reward mentioned in this hadith. He was happy for us. He wanted his ummah to have this blessing from Allah. This is more than enough that Allah is sending His blessing on us. This is our belief that Allah is saying this to us as we cannot hear this but we believe in this. This is our trust on Allah that we know that we will get blessing from Allah. We should increase our salat on Prophet to get this reward more and more. Nabi (Salllelaho alehe wassalam) said that someone who doesn’t say Salat on Prophet then they are miser because its such an easy thing to do and you still not do it. When you write his name you should not use abbreviation for this. There is a reward for this so why will you use abbreviation for this. Don’t be stingy in getting the reward. It was narrated from Abu Hurayrah that the Messenger of Allaah (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said: “There is no one who sends salaams upon me, but Allaah will restore to me my soul so that I may return his salaams.” (Saheeh Sunan Abi Dawood, 1795) For this hadeeth you should make it clear in your mind that Prophet Muhammad (Sallelaho alehe wassalam) is no longer alive and that he is dead but at the same time you need to believe in this above hadith. You should not be asking any duas from the prophet, as he cannot answer our duas. This is something special for the prophet that he gets his soul only to reply to our

K n o w i n g A l l a h A s S a l a m

salam and not to the duas. This is very wrong concept of some people that he might do other things also. When you say Salam Allah will bring back his soul just to say Salam. The angels are roaming around just to see who is saying Salam on the Prophet (Sallelaho alehe wassalam) so they convey the Salam to the prophet. This is specific to Prophet Muhammad (Sallelaho alehe wassalam). We should have the intenion in our hearts and think that we are getting this reward from Allah. The dua after the Salah

We are claiming that Allah is Salam and that whatever He gave us that is the legislation and everything is also Salam from Him alone. Everything from you is Salam and blessed is Allah who is the One who is owner of majesty. This dua we have to stay after every obligatory prayer. This is a reminder to be peaceful also.
