O Allah, grant me Your love and the love of those whose love will benefit me with You. O Allah, whatever You have provided me of the things that I love, make them a source of strength for me in pursuing what You love. O Allah, whatever you have withheld from me from what I love, make its absence a means for me to pursue what You love.

مِن حِكمةِ اللهِ تعالَى أنْ فَضَّلَ بعضَ مَخلوقاتِه على بعضٍ، ومِن ذلك تَفضيلُ بعضِ الأيَّامِ على بَعضٍ، مِثلُ تَفضيلِ يومِ عَرَفةَ، وليْلةِ القدْرِ، ويوْمِ الجُمعةِ، ولكلِّ وَقتٍ منهم فضْلُه المختلِفُ عن غيرِه.

وفي هذا الحَديثِ يُخبِرُ النَّبيُّ صلَّى اللهُ عليهِ وسلَّم أنَّ خَير يَومٍ مِن أيَّامِ الأُسبوعِ طَلَعَتْ عليه الشَّمسُ، هو يَومُ الجُمعَةِ؛ ومِن خَصائصِ ذلك اليومِ أنَّ اللهَ عزَّ وجلَّ خَلَقَ فيه أبا البَشرِ آدَمَ عليه السلامُ، وفيه أَسْكَنه اللهُ عزَّ وجلَّ الجَنَّةَ، وَفيهِ أُخرِجَ آدَمُ وزَوجتُه مِنَ الجنَّةِ وهَبَطَ إلَى الأَرضِ لِلخِلافةِ فيها، وخُروجُه منها هو خُروجُ العائدِ لها؛ لأنَّ الجَنَّةَ هي في الأصلِ مَسكنُه؛ لأنَّ اللهَ تعالىَ قال: {اسْكُنْ أَنْتَ وَزَوْجُكَ الْجَنَّةَ} [البقرة: 35]، ويومُ خُروجِه عليه السَّلامُ مِن الجَنَّةِ هو يومُ خِلافتِه في الأرضِ ونُزولِه لها.

ولا تَقومُ السَّاعةُ -أي: يَومُ القِيامةِ- إلَّا في يَومِ الجُمعةِ بيْنَ الصُّبحِ وَطُلوعِ الشَّمسِ.

وذِكرُ هذه الأَحْداثِ العِظامِ وهذِه القضايا المَعدودةِ الَّتي وقَعَتْ في يَومِ الجُمُعةِ؛ قيل: ليْستْ لذِكرِ فَضيلتِه؛ لأنَّ ما وقَعَ فيه مِن إخراجِ آدَمَ وقِيامِ السَّاعةِ لا يُعَدُّ مِن الفَضائِل، وإنَّما هو تَعظيمٌ لِمَا وقَعَ فيه وما حدَثَ فيه كبِدايةٍ للخَلقِ ونِهايةٍ له. وقيل: بلْ هي مِن الفَضائِلِ؛ لأنَّ خُروجَ آدَمَ مِن الجَنَّةِ هو سَببُ الذُّريَّةِ وهذا النَّسلِ العَظيمِ، ووُجودِ الرُّسلِ والأنبياءِ والأولياءِ، ولأنَّ لأحداثِ السَّاعةِ شأنًا عَظيمًا؛ فهي سَببٌ لتَعجيلِ اللهِ وعْدَه لأهلِ الإيمانِ، ووَعيدَه لأهلِ الكفرِ، وظُهورِ جَزاءِ النَّبيِّينَ والصِّدِّيقين والأولياءِ وغيرِهم، وإظهارِ كَرامتِهم وشَرفِهم؛ ف��ي يومِ القِيامةِ تَرتفِعُ راياتُ المسلمينِ تَصديقًا لإيمانِهم.

Following In The Footsteps Of The Prophet Muhammad (SAW)! What are the Historic Sites of the Seerah?

Top Historic Sites From the Seerah of the Prophet (SAW) to Visit Whilst Staying in Makkah or Madinah:

Cave of Hira — the cave on Jabal Nur (the mountain of light), around 6 km from Makkah, where the angel Jibreel (AS) first revealed the Quran to the Prophet (SAW) when he was alone there during Ramadan.

Mount Arafat — Known in Arabic as Jabal ar-Rahmah or ‘The Mountain of Mercy���, it is here that the Prophet Muhammad (SAW) gave his last sermon.

Cave of Thawr — This Famous Cave on the Mountain of the same name is where the Prophet (SAW) and his companions hid from the Quraish, whilst a spider weaved its web across the entrance and a pigeon laid eggs to mislead their pursuers.

Masjid Quba — Built by the Prophet (SAW) following the Hijrah from Makkah to Madinah, it was originally built from mud bricks and was the first place of worship in Islam.

Masjid Quba — The First Mosque in Islam

Masjid Qiblatain — This Mosque is one of the few in the World to have contained two Mihrab, marking the shifting of the direction of prayer from Al Quds to Makkah in 2AH.

Al-Hudaybiyah — The Historic place where the Treaty of Al-Hudaybiyah was signed in 6 AH, ensuring peace between the Muslims and the Quraish. The well of Hudaybiyah is nearby, where the Prophet Muhammad (SAW) performed a miracle by causing water to flow.

Taif — The People of this Mountainous City rejected and abused the Muslims when the Prophet (SAW) visited them, hoping to spread Islam. Rather than choosing to destroy them for their insolence, he instead forgave them and prayed for them.

Battle of Badr — This Famous Battle took place on the 17th Ramadan, when the Muslims defeated the Quraish army, despite being heavily outnumbered.

The Battlefield of the Battle of Badr

Mount Uhud — The Site of another Famous Battle, a year later, during which archers stationed on this mountain, which surrounds the plain of Madinah, ignored the instructions of the Prophet (SAW) and abandoned their post, leading to confusion. The cemetery at the foot of the mountain is where the 70 companions who lost their lives were buried.

Battle of Khandaq — Also Known as the ‘Battle of the Trench’ after the trench, which the Muslims dug to protect Madinah. Visit the 6 mosques which were built on the battlefield after withstanding the siege.

How to deal with stress, anxiety, anguish and sin, and helping find the secret of success & happiness.

People often forget the importance of the simple yet powerful dua (supplication) – Istighfar i.e., saying “Astaghfirullah” (I seek forgiveness of Allah).

Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) recited this at least 100 times a day.

Let us see the benefits and virtues of reciting this simple beautiful supplication insha Allah.

Istighfar (Astaghfirullah) is the gateway of relief and happiness. Whenever you are in distress start reciting it and Insha Allah it will take you out of your anxiety and will put you in a peaceful situation and will give you happiness.

Istighfar removes anxiety and duas are answered.

Istighfar opens the door of sustenance.

Istighfar opens the door of mercy.

Istighfar opens the door of knowledge.

Istighfar is also gateway of productivity.

Istighfar relieves you.

When you feel that sadness within you, when you are disturbed and frustrated, when anxiety surrounds you, say “Astaghfirullah” “Astaghfirullah”…

Reciting Astaghfiruallah is an effective method of calming our self and wipes away the variety of worldly worries from our mind and body. It may also help us, if we are suffering from depression, it calm us and lessen our depression.

Astaghfirullah also helps us to refrain from all forms of sins. Regularly saying this reminds us that Allah is everywhere and in this way there is very small chances of doing wrongful actions.

Ibn Abbas (May Allah be pleased with them) said: The Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) said,

“If anyone constantly seeks pardon (from Allah), Allah will appoint for him a way out of every distress and a relief from every anxiety, and will provide sustenance for him from where he expects not.” [Abu Dawud].

In another hadith, Abdullah bin Abbas (May Allah be pleased with them) narrates that Rasulullah (Sallallahu Alayhi Wasallam) said:

“The one who (regularly) says Istighfaar, that is, frequently repent to Allah Ta’aala for sins committed, Allah Azza Wa-Jal will open a path from poverty and difficulties.

All sorrow and hardship will be removed, and in its place prosperity and contentment granted. One will receive sustenance from unimagined and unexpected sources.

Do Tasbih of Astaghfaar at least 100 times daily as it is the Sunnah of Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him).

In one minute, you can say “Astaghfiru Allaah” more than 100 times!

The virtue of seeking forgiveness is well-known, it is a reason of obtaining forgiveness, entering Paradise, having good provisions, increasing one’s strength, repelling harm, having affairs facilitated, the descent of rain, and increasing in wealth and children.

The doors of repentance are always open therefore don’t delay your repentance in a hope of tomorrow, as tomorrow is uncertain , Repent now and make it a habit to ask Allah’s forgiveness by reciting “Astaghfirullah”.

Say I believe in Allah’s mercy, I have sinned, I have gone astray, I have been negligent, but still I believe in Allah’s soothing mercy and forgiveness, I’ll not despair!

IMPORTANCE OF ISTIGHFAR FROM THE QURAN:

One of the 99 Names of Allah is Al-Ghaffaar (الْغَفَّارُ) – The Great Forgiver The Forgiver, the One who forgives the sins of His slaves time and time again.

There are numerous verses in the Quran about the importance of asking for forgiveness of Allah SWT. Here are few of them:

And (commanding you): “Seek the forgiveness of your Lord, and turn to Him in repentance, that He may grant you good enjoyment, for a term appointed, and bestow His abounding Grace to every owner of grace (i.e. the one who helps and serves needy and deserving, physically and with his wealth, and even with good words). But if you turn away, then I fear for you the torment of a Great Day (i.e. the Day of Resurrection). [Hud 11:3]

Declare (O Muhammad SAW) unto My slaves, that truly, I am the Oft-Forgiving, the Most-Merciful. [Al-Hijr 15:49]

Then, verily! Your Lord for those who do evil (commit sins and are disobedient to Allâh) in ignorance and afterward repent and do righteous deeds, verily, your Lord thereafter, (to such) is Oft-Forgiving, Most Merciful. [An-Nahl 16:119]

Your Lord knows best what is in your inner-selves. If you are righteous, then, verily, He is Ever Most Forgiving to those who turn unto Him again and again in obedience, and in repentance. [Al-Isra 17:25]

And verily, I am indeed Forgiving to him who repents, believes (in My Oneness, and associates none in worship with Me) and does righteous good deeds, and then remains constant in doing them, (till his death). [Ta-Ha 20:82]

And say (O Muhammad SAW): “My Lord! Forgive and have mercy, for You are the Best of those who show mercy!” [Al-Mumenoon 23:118]

Need more verses? Read the Quran! There are plenty of verses about the importance of seeking forgiveness.

So did you say “Astagfirullah” (I seek forgiveness of Allah) 100 times today?

انْصُرْ أَخَاكَ

“Help your brother”

— Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him)

(Sahih al-Bukhari 2444)

[crusera]

The Sultan, they said, was a good man. Soft, quickly moved to tears. Out of compassion, he bought the freedom of a Christian woman's stolen daughter. Even Walther von der Vogelweide, the minnesinger in distant Germany, praised the "mildness" of the powerful ruler in the Orient, whose name has a good reputation in the West: Saladin, a righteous man.

He was a man who always kept his word, even to his enemies.

He let his subjects drag him to court, because God's laws applied equally to everyone. Also for him, the ruler who managed to do what no one had ever managed before: to unite the Islamic world of the Middle East after centuries of discord and to wrest Jerusalem, the holy city of the Muslims, from the Christians in 1187.

His name translates as "righteousness of faith", and Saladin is indeed a devout Muslim. Nevertheless, after his conquest of the Holy Land, he allowed the Christians and Jews there to continue praying to their God. This is another reason why, more than half a millennium later, Western Enlightenment thinkers would make him the epitome of the tolerant ruler.

But this al-Malik an-Nasir Salah ad-Din Abu'l-Muzaffer Yusuf ibn Ayyub ibn Shadi, known as Saladin for short, also had other sides.

He could be treacherous, vile and mean. He did not shy away from murder. Nevertheless, this man fascinated his contemporaries. He became one of the most revered rulers of the Islamic world and the most important opponent of the Crusaders.

Saladin was born in 1138 in Tikrit (in present-day Iraq), the son of a Kurdish officer. During his political career, Saladin was the first to bring Egypt's army under his control.

Saladin, a Sunni, now founds two universities where theology is taught according to Sunni theology - a signal that he is on the side of the population. He also abolished a number of taxes that contradicted the Koran and the teachings of the Prophet.

Saladin's subsequent conquests shock the Christian world. By 1174, his power extended from North Africa to the southern tip of the Arabian Peninsula. In 1186, he ruled from the Nile to the Tigris.

At the height of his power, the Sultan even dreamed of taking the Holy War to Europe, conquering Rome - and putting the Pope in chains.

The Crusaders conquered Jerusalem in 1099 and held it until Saladin besieged it in 1187 and handed it over to the Ayyubid dynasty, a Muslim sultanate that ruled the Middle East at the beginning of the 12th century.

Saladin wanted to recapture the city, which had previously been ruled by Muslims.

For Muslims, Jerusalem is a place where important events in the life of Jesus and other important personalities took place. It is also the place where the Prophet Mohammed ascended to heaven according to the traditional interpretation of the Koran and other texts.

In Sunni Islam, Jerusalem is the third holiest city after Mecca and Medina. Muslims believe that Muhammad was brought to Jerusalem during his night journey (Isra and Mi'raj).

The name Jesus is mentioned twenty-five times in the Holy Qur'an, often in the form 'Isa ibn Maryam, which means "Jesus, son of Mary". In the Quran, he is given the unique title "Messiah" (al-masih in Arabic), which means "anointed one". He is considered one of many prophets from the lineage of the Prophet Ibrahim, or Abraham (peace be upon him). Many Muslim traditions regard it as an ideal example of spirituality. Unlike Christians, who generally believe in a triune God, Muslims believe that Jesus was a great prophet who was to lead mankind on the straight path of monotheism and obedience to God (Allah).

When Jerusalem also fell, two kings and an emperor set off for the Holy Land with their armies from 1189 onwards. One of the monarchs is King Richard I of England. Even before the armed pilgrimage, he had already earned himself an honourable name: "Lionheart."

Saladin lies in wait for the Christians in the forests of Arsuf near the Mediterranean coast. But King Richard of England had anticipated the attack; on 7 September 1191, his troops won a clear victory. Nevertheless, the Muslim army is still strong enough to block the road to Jerusalem.

Saladin's reconquest of Jerusalem in 1187 prompted Pope Gregory VIII to organize the Third Crusade. From 1189 to 1192, Saladin lost Acre and Jaffa and was defeated in the field at Arsūf. The Crusaders retreated to Europe without seizing Jerusalem, but Saladin's military reputation had been damaged. He died in 1193.

[9amartt]

The more you know rasulullah the more you’ll love and admire him, the more you know about him the more action you will take when hearing him being belittled, the more you know him the bigger his place in your heart becomes, those whose blood was spilled in defence of Allah’s most beloved man didn’t make their blood worthless like that, it was not an impulsive decision, but they knew the worth of the blood of Muhammad, of his honour, of his name, of his dignity, and to defend Him, their blood became cheap. 

May peace and blessings be upon our dear prophet, his family and companions and righteous followers.

Oh Allah if my love for your prophet is my only good deed in this world, accept it from me and allow me with this deed and with your mercy to enter Jannah.

I'm not trying to be rude or anything genuinely, but doesn't Islam support pedophilia and child marriage? As well as oppression of women? It's a beautiful religion, but when you sit and read these old laws that are still practiced today and never abolished....

*sigh* what laws? what proof do you have for all your claims?

I'm gonna assume about the child marriage and pd thing that you're referring to Prophet Muhammad's marriage to Aisha, and if u do a little google research you'll find many answers refuting the claim of him marrying him when she was a child, that she was married at this age and consummated the marriage at another, that she was actually a teen and the scribes just didnt write her age right or things got lost in translation, that a person is considered mature when they can be held responsible for their actions, or when women start menses, or that Aisha was actually a highly intelligent woman and she was far more mature for her age. The more you research, the more you'll find out about this claim. Its better in their words than mine, especially since youre not the first person in 1400 years to raise this accusation.

What I will say is that at the end of the day, Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) had MANY enemies, so if such claims were true, I think they would've used every opportunity they could bring him down. They would've used it against him. They could've used it when he passes away.

AND that medieval times and european countries did marry off their royal kids for years, even if the kids did not consent. But i feel like no one accuses them of pd and child marriages, no no- everything is bad when Islam is involved, hm?

You say that Islam oppresses women. I think no other religion is as protective and progressive as Islam when it comes to women, all u have to do is to not CONFUSE religion with culture.

Imma give you a few examples of just how Islam treats women, and feel free to tell me any other religion or culture that gives as many rights to women as Islam:

Considering the fact that before the advent of Islam the pagan Arabs used to bury their female children alive, make women dance naked in the vicinity of the Ka'ba during their annual fairs, and treat women as mere chattels and objects of sexual pleasure possessing no rights or position whatsoever, these teachings of the Noble Qur'an were revolutionary. Unlike other religions, which regarded women as being possessed of inherent sin and wickedness and men as being possessed of inherent virtue and nobility, Islam regards men and women as being of the same essence created from a single soul. The Qur'an declares:

O mankind! Reverence your Guardian-Lord, who created you from a single person, created, of like nature, his mate, and from this pair scattered (like seeds) countless men and women. Reverence Allah, through Whom you demand your mutual (rights), and reverence the wombs (that bore you); for Allah ever watches over you. (4:1)

"Women are considered inferior to men." No. This is so wrong. The Shari'ah regards women as the spiritual and intellectual equals of men. The main distinction it makes between them is in the physical realm based on the equitable principle of fair division of labor. It allots the more strenuous work to the man and makes him responsible for the maintenance of the family. It allots the work of managing the home and the upbringing and training of children to the woman, work which has the greatest importance in the task of building a healthy and prosperous society.

The pagan society of pre-Islamic Arabia had an irrational prejudice against their female children whom they used to bury alive. The Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) was totally opposed to this practice. He showed them that supporting their female children would act as a screen for them against the fire of Hell:

It is narrated by the Prophet's wife, 'A'isha, that a woman entered her house with two of her daughters. She asked for charity but 'A'isha could not find anything except a date, which was given to her. The woman divided it between her two daughters and did not eat any herself. Then she got up and left. When the Prophet (peace be upon him) came to the house, 'A'isha told him about what had happened and he declared that when the woman was brought to account (on the Day of Judgment) about her two daughters they would act as a screen for her from the fires of Hell.

You know how in the west, there's like so many divorce stories about how the wife didnt change her surname to her husbands? YEah, Islam does not do that. It allows women to keep their name even after marriage.

Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) said this in his farewell pilgrimmage:

"Fear Allah regarding women. Verily you have married them with the trust of Allah, and made their bodies lawful with the word of Allah. You have got (rights) over them, and they have got (rights) over you in respect of their food and clothing according to your means."

Woman as mother commands great respect in Islam. The Noble Qur'an speaks of the rights of the mother in a number of verses. It enjoins Muslims to show respect to their mothers and serve them well even if they are still unbelievers. The Prophet states emphatically that the rights of the mother are paramount. Abu Hurairah reported that a man came to the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) and asked: "O Messenger of Allah, who is the person who has the greatest right on me with regards to kindness and attention?" He replied, "Your mother." "Then who?" He replied, "Your mother." "Then who?" He replied, "Your mother." "Then who?" He replied, "Your father."

How many of you can say that my religion/culture says that "Paradise is under my mother's feet" (which means that as long as you serve your mom well, you could enter heaven). In another tradition, the Prophet advised a believer not to join the war against the Quraish in defense of Islam, but to look after his mother, saying that his service to his mother would be a cause of his salvation. Mu'awiyah, the son of Jahimah, reported that Jahimah came to the Prophet (peace be upon him) and said, " Messenger of Allah! I want to join the fighting (in the path of Allah) and I have come to seek your advice." He said, "Then remain in your mother's service, because Paradise is under her feet."

Some of you will claim that oooh women are oppressed because they have to wear hijab or cover up- girls, listen. If you've ever listened to locker room talk, if you ever KNEW just how most boys think about the female body, you would actually wish to wear an iron armour and hide away forever. I've seen men GAWK, and CATCALL women that were covered from head-to-toe... I used to think that you know, maybe its fine to have a niqaab that shows your eyes, surely no man could ever be into that. No. Nope. If you havent realised it yet, then you will experience it first hand one day that eyes are literally "the windows to the soul"- like you know how writers often mention getting lost in their lover's eyes, or how beautiful someones's eyes are- yeah... theres a reason for it.Look around you, look at your friends's or family memebers eyes and you'll know just how much the eyes talk, how much they convey.

When Islam was introduced, for the first time women could have share in their inheritance.

But Islam tells women to stay at homes- NO IT DOES NOT (please read any context)! 'A'isha reported that Saudah bint Zam'ah went out one night. 'Umar saw her and recognized her and said, "By God, O Saudah, why do you not hide yourself from us?" She went back to the Prophet (peace be upon him) and told him about it while he was having supper in her room, and he said, "It is permitted by Allah for you to go out for your needs." The predominant idea in the teachings of Islam with regard to men and women is that a husband and wife should be full-fledged partners in making their home a happy and prosperous place, that they should be loyal and faithful to one another, and genuinely interested in each other's welfare and the welfare of their children. A woman is expected to exercise a humanizing influence over her husband and to soften the sternness inherent in his nature. A man is enjoined to educate the women in his care so that they cultivate the qualities in which they, by their very nature, excel.

Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) has on many accounts, many times advised men to be gentle, to be kind to women. Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) has said: "The best of you are those who are best to their women."

These are just a few examples but I think that if you were to open your eyes and look at it with a broader mind, you'll see Islam is not what you were taught to believe. I dont believe in coincidences that much, so I think that the very fact that you sent me this ask may be a sign that something deeper inside you is telling you to do your own research, that even you dont believe that Islam is this "oppressive and backward" religion.

Hope this helped <3

Ibn Mas`ud narrated that: The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: “I met Ibrahim on the night of my ascent, so he said:

‘O Muhammad, recite Salam from me to your nation, and inform them that Paradise has pure soil and delicious water, and that it is a flat treeless plain, and that its seeds are: “Glory is to Allah (Subḥān Allāh) [and] all praise is due to Allah (Al-ḥamdulillāh) and ‘none has the right to be worshipped but Allah’ (Lā ilāha illallāh), and Allah is the greatest (Allāhu Akbar).”

عن جابر بن عبدالله رضي الله عنه، عن الرسول صلى الله عليه وسلم قال: “ أعطيت خمسًا، لم يعطهنّ أحدٌ قبلي: نصرت بالرعب مسيرة شهرٍ، وجعلت لي الأرض مسجدًا وطهورًا، فأيما رجلٍ من أمتي أدركته الصلاة فليصلّ، وأحلّت لي المغانم ولم تحلّ لأحدٍ قبلي، وأعطيت الشفاعة، وكان النبي يبعث إلى قومه خاصةً، وبعثت إلى الناس عامةً .“ صحيح البخاري ومسلم حديث ٣٣٥ - ٥٢١

Narrated Jabir bin `Abdullah: The Prophet (peace be upon him) said, “I have been given five things which were not given to any one else before me. -1. Allah made me victorious by awe, (by His frightening my enemies) for a distance of one month’s journey. -2. The earth has been made for me (and for my followers) a place for praying and a thing to perform Tayammum, therefore anyone of my followers can pray wherever the time of a prayer is due. -3. The booty has been made Halal (lawful) for me yet it was not lawful for anyone else before me. -4. I have been given the right of intercession (on the Day of Resurrection). -5. Every Prophet used to be sent to his nation only but I have been sent to all mankind.” Sahih al-Bukhari 335 In-book reference : Book 7, Hadith 2 Sahih Muslim 521 a In-book reference : Book 5, Hadith 3

خَصَّ اللهُ سبحانه وتعالى النبيَّ صلَّى اللهُ عليه وسلَّمَ بما لم يَخُصَّ به أحدًا مِنَ الأنبياءِ قبْلَه.وفي هذا الحَديثِ يُخبِرُ صلَّى اللهُ عليه وسلَّمَ بهذه الخِصالِ الَّتي لم تجتمِعْ كلُّها لأحَدٍ مِنَ الأنبياءِ إلَّا له صلَّى اللهُ عليه وسلَّمَ؛ الأولى: أنَّه نُصِرَ بالرُّعبِ مَسيرةَ شهرٍ، فيُقذَفُ في قلوبِ أعدائِه الرُّعبُ وهو على بُعْدِ مَسيرةِ شهرٍ بيْنَه وبيْنَهم، كما قال تعالى: {سَنُلْقِي فِي قُلُوبِ الَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا الرُّعْبَ بِمَا أَشْرَكُوا بِاللَّهِ} [آل عمران:151]، وقال في قصة يوم بدر: {إِذْ يُوحِي رَبُّكَ إِلَى الْمَلائِكَةِ أَنِّي مَعَكُمْ فَثَبِّتُوا الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا سَأُلْقِي فِي قُلُوبِ الَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا الرُّعْبَ} [الأنفال:12].الثانية: وجُعِلتِ الأرضُ له مسجدًا وطَهورًا، وهذا مِمَّا خُصَّتْ به هذه الأُمَّةُ؛ فمتى أدركَتِ الرَّجُلَ الصَّلاةُ فإنَّه يُصلِّي في المكانِ الَّذي تُدرِكُه في��، وإنْ لم يَجِدِ الماءَ فإنَّه يَتيمَّمُ بالتُّرابِ الطاهِرِ وما في حُكْمِه ثمَّ يُصلِّي، فالصَّلاةُ لا تختصُّ بالمساجِدِ المُعَدَّةِ لذلك فقط كما كان على الأُمَمِ السابِقةِ، بل يُصلِّي المسلِمونَ حيثُ أدرَكَتْهمُ الصَّلاةُ مِن الأرضِ، وهذا لا يُنافي أنَّ الصَّلاةَ مَنْهيٌّ عنها في مَواضعَ مخصوصةٍ مِن الأرضِ لِمَعنًى يختصُّ بها، كما نُهيَ عن الصَّلاةِ في أعطانِ الإبِلِ، وفي المَقبرةِ، والحمَّامِ.وفي ذِكرِه أنَّ «التيمُّمَ» مِن خَصائصِه صلَّى اللهُ عليه وسلَّمَ ما يُشعِرُ بأنَّ الطَّهارةَ بالماءِ ليست ممَّا اختصَّ به عن الأنبياءِ، وإنَّما اختصَّ بالتَّيمُّمِ تيسيرًا وتخفيفًا عندَ انعِدامِ الماءِ، أو عدَمِ القُدرةِ على استِخدامِه.الثالثة: وأُحِلَّت له الغنائمُ، وهي الَّتي يأخُذُها المسلمونَ في حربِهم مع الكفَّارِ، وكلُّ ما يَحصُلون عليه مِن الكفارِ قهرًا، ولم تكنْ تَحِلُّ لِلأنبياءِ قبْلَه كما ورَد في الصَّحيحَينِ عن أبي هُريرةَ رَضيَ اللهُ عنه، عن النبيِّ صلَّى الله عليه وسلَّم قَالَ: «غزَا نبيٌّ مِن الأنبياءِ؛ فجمَع الغنائمَ، فجاءتْ نارٌ لِتَأكُلَها…» الحديثَ.الرابعة: وكانتْ بَعثتُه صلَّى اللهُ عليه وسلَّمَ لِلنَّاسِ كافَّةً، فهو خاتمُ الأنبياءِ؛ ولذلك جُعِلَتْ رسالتُه عامَّةً لِتَصِلَ إلى الخَلْقِ كلِّهم، وكان النبيُّ قبْلَه يُبعَثُ إلى قَومِه فقطْ، وعندَ مسلمٍ مِن حديثِ أبي هُريرةَ رَضيَ اللهُ عنه مرفوعًا: «وأُرسِلْتُ إلى الخَلْقِ كافَّةً، وخُتِم بيَ النَّبيُّونَ».الخامسة: وأُعطِيَ الشَّفاعةَ، فيَشفعُ لِلنَّاسِ يَومَ القيامةِ في بَدءِ الحِسابِ، وهي الشَّفاعةُ العامَّةُ، أو الشَّفاعةُ العُظْمى، أو غيرُها ممَّا اختصَّ به.والشَّفاعةُ الَّتي اختصَّ بها النبيُّ صلَّى اللهُ عليه وسلَّمَ مِن بيْنِ الأنبياءِ، ليست هي الشَّفاعةَ في خُروجِ العُصاةِ مِن النارِ؛ فإنَّ هذه الشَّفاعةَ يُشارِكُ فيها الأنبياءُ والمؤمنونَ أيضًا، كما تَواترَتْ بذلك النُّصوصُ، وإنَّما الشَّفاعةُ الَّتي يختصُّ بها صلَّى اللهُ عليه وسلَّمَ مِن دُونِ الأنبياءِ أربعةُ أنواعٍ؛ أحدُها: شفاعتُه للخَلقِ في فصْلِ القضاءِ بيْنَهم، والثانيةُ: شفاعتُه لأهلِ الجنَّةِ في دُخولِ الجنَّةِ، والثالثةُ: شفاعتُه في أهلِ الكبائرِ مِن أهلِ النَّارِ، فقد قيل: إنَّ هذه يختصُّ هو بها، والرابعةُ: كثرةُ مَن يَشفعُ له مِن أُمَّتِه؛ فإنَّه وفَّر شفاعتَه وادَّخَرها إلى يَومِ القيامةِ، وقد وردَتْ رِواياتٌ صحيحةٌ فيها التَّصريحُ بأنَّ هذه الشفاعةَ هي المُرادةُ في هذا الحديثِ، مِثل ما في الحديثِ الَّذي خرَّجه أحمدُ مِن حديثِ عَمرِو بنِ شُعَيبٍ، عن أبيه، عن جَدِّه عبد الله بنِ عَمرٍو رَضيَ اللهُ عنهما، عن النبيِّ صلَّى اللهُ عليه وسلَّمَ، قال: «لقد أُعطِيتُ اللَّيلةَ خَمْسًا، ما أُعطِيَهُنَّ أحدٌ قَبْلي:…، والخامِسةُ هيَ ما هيَ: قيل لي: سَلْ؛ فإنَّ كلَّ نبيٍّ قد سَأل، فأخَّرْتُ مَسألَتي إلى يَومِ القيامةِ، فهيَ لكم ولِمَن شَهِد أنْ لا إلهَ إلَّا اللهُ».وقد ذكَر بعضُهم شفاعةً خامسةً خاصَّةً بالنبيِّ صلَّى اللهُ عليه وسلَّمَ، وهي: شفاعتُه في تخفيفِ عذابِ بعضِ المشركينَ، كما شفَع لعمِّه أبي طالبٍ، وجعَل هذا مِن الشفاعةِ المختصِّ بها نبيُّنا صلَّى اللهُ عليه وسلَّمَ. وزاد بعضُهم شفاعةً سادسةً خاصَّةً بالنبيِّ صلَّى اللهُ عليه وسلَّمَ، وهي: شفاعتُه في سبعينَ ألْفًا يَدخُلون الجنَّةَ بغيرِ حسابٍ.ومَن تأمَّلَ النُّصوصَ والرِّواياتِ عَلِم أنَّ الخِصالَ الَّتي اختصَّ بها عن الأنبياءِ لا تَنحصِرُ في خَمسٍ، وقد ذكَر مرَّةً ستًّا، ومرَّةً خَمسًا، ومرَّةً أربعًا، ومرَّةً ثلاثًا؛ بحسَبِ ما تدعو الحاجةُ إلى ذِكرِه.وفي الحديثِ: بيانُ مكانةِ النبيِّ صلَّى اللهُ عليه وسلَّمَ عندَ الله سُبحانه وتعالَى. وفيه: بيانُ تفاضُلِ الأنبياءِ على بعضِهم بفَضلٍ مِن اللهِ تعالَى. الدرر السنية
