into the fire."

person who goes out in His cause, for no other reason except belief in Him and
confirmation of His messengers, that Allah will make him return with his share
of reward or booty or Allah will enter him into Jannah. If it was not for my
being fearful of hurting my ummah, I would not have stayed behind for a single
military expedition. I would have wished to be killed in the way of Allah.
Then revived. Then killed again. Then revived. Then killed again...

bulwark. During a day of fasting, each one should terminate sexual relations
and noisy quarreling. If anyone should abuse verbally or fight with one
(fasting), then let him say: 'I am fasting. By Him in whose hands Muhammad's
soul is: The unpleasant smell eminating from a fasting person's mouth is more
pleasant to Allah than the fragrance of musk. The fasting person has two
joys. One at the time of breaking his/her fast and at the time of meeting
his/her Lord he will joy because of his/her having fasted. [Bukhaari vol3 p71]

(Accepted Pilgrimage)."

Apostle of Allah, show me towards a deed which, if I should practice it, will

contrary, you will be numerous. However you will be a useless force. Allah
will then certainly remove fear of you from the hearts of your enemies and will
cause weakness in your hearts." A questioner asked: "Oh Messenger of
Allah:"Explain this 'weakness'." The Prophet (SAW) said: "Love of this world
and hatred of dieing."

remains in the world but a day, Allah, the Allmighty will stretch that day, so
that He will envoy a man from me or from my Ahlul Beit. His name will be my

and said: 'I gift a further two hundred saddled camels in the way of Allah!'
This brought further encouragement. After this he once again rose and said: 'I
have a further three hundred saddled camels to gift in the way of Allah.' Then

ownself? They said: "Indeed!" He (SAW) then said: "Oh Allah, whosoever's
Mawlah (Leader-Friend) I am, then 'Ali is his Mawlah. Oh Allah be a friend and
protector of him who befriends and protects him and an enemy of him who is his
enemy." Afterwards 'Omar met him and said: "Congratulations, oh ('Ali) son of

time."
