ﺗﻜﻴﺔ ﺳﻴﺪﻧﺎ ﺇﺑﺮﺍﻫﻴﻢ ﻋﻠﻴﻪ ﺍﻟﺴﻼﻡ

What is the Arab city where no one ever goes hungry?
It is the city of Al-Khalil (Hebron), the Palestinian city.

These meals, prepared from lamb or goat meat cooked with Palestinian cracked wheat (jarees), are offered by the wealthy people of the city and from outside it throughout the year.

This meal is called the Takiya of Our Master Abraham (peace be upon him).

The people of Hebron say that the history of the Takiya goes back to the time of the Prophet Abraham, who was described as the father of hospitality.

On an ordinary day, the Takiya feeds about 500 people, and during the days of Ramadan it feeds around 3,000 people—an average of about 500 families.

كيف كان شعورهم

How must they have felt…

How did Mu‘adh ibn Jabal feel when the Messenger of Allah said to him:
“O Mu‘adh, by Allah, I truly love you”?

– How did ‘Abdullah ibn ‘Abbas (may Allah be pleased with him) feel when the Messenger of Allah embraced him and said:
“O Allah, teach him the Book”? 📔

– How did ‘Ali ibn Abi Talib feel when he learned that on the day of Khaybar the Prophet said:
“Tomorrow I will give the banner to a man who loves Allah and His Messenger, and Allah and His Messenger love him”—and it turned out to be him?

– How did Sa‘d ibn Abi Waqqas feel when the Prophet said to him:
“Shoot, O Sa‘d! May my father and mother be sacrificed for you”? 📚

– How did ‘Uthman ibn ‘Affan feel when the Prophet said about him, after he equipped the Army of Tabuk:
“Nothing ‘Uthman does after today will harm him”? 📔

– How did Abu Musa al-Ash‘ari feel when the Prophet said to him:
“If only you had seen me last night as I listened to your recitation”?

– How did as-Sa’ib ibn Yazid feel when the Prophet wiped his hand over his head, and his life was extended, so that all his hair turned gray except the place where the Prophet’s hand had touched?

– How did the Ansar feel when the Prophet said about them:
“If the people were to take one valley and the Ansar another, I would take the valley of the Ansar”?

– How did the Ansar feel when he said about them:
“A sign of faith is love for the Ansar, and a sign of hypocrisy is hatred for the Ansar”?

– How did as-Siddiq (Abu Bakr) feel when the Prophet said:
“If I were to take a close friend, I would have taken Abu Bakr as a close friend”?

– How did ‘A’ishah feel when the Prophet answered without hesitation, when asked: “Who is the most beloved of people to you?”—and he said her name?

– How did Bilal ibn Rabah feel when the Prophet said to him:
“O Bilal, tell me about the deed you did in Islam that you most hope for, for I heard the sound of your footsteps ahead of me in Paradise”?

– How did ‘Umar ibn al-Khattab feel when he once asked permission to enter, and the Prophet said to his doorkeeper:
“Let him in, and give him glad tidings of Paradise”?

– How did all the Companions feel—every single one of them—seeing the Messenger of Allah morning and evening?

And more beautiful than all of that:

How will we feel if the Prophet ﷺ says to us when we see him:
“You are my brothers whom I longed for and wept out of yearning to see. You are my brothers who believed in me though you did not see me.”

We ask our Lord to make us among them.

O Allah, send Your prayers, peace, blessings, and grace upon Your servant and Messenger, our beloved Muhammad, and upon his family and all his companions.

نسأل ربي أن نكون منهم
* اللهم صلِ وسلم وبارك وأنعم على عبدك ورسولك حبيبي محمد وعلى آله وصحبه أجمعين

Quran & Bible

 Robin Scott Scott; 2 December 2015

Christians and Muslims are more alike than different. Please read that which I have discovered. ~~ Robin

1. Jesus taught that there is only One God and Only God should be worshipped as taught in Deut 6:4, Mark 12:29. Muslims also believe this as taught in the Qur’an verse 4:171.

2. Jesus didn’t eat pork as taught in Leviticus 11:7 , and neither do Muslims as taught in the Qur’an verse 6:145.

3. Jesus greeted with the words “as salaamu alaikum” (Peace be with you) in John 20:21. Muslims also greet each other this way.

4. Jesus always said “God Willing” (inshallah), Muslims say this too before doing anything as taught in the Qur’an verses 18:23-24.

5. Jesus washed his face, hands, and feet before praying. The Muslims do the same.

6. Jesus and other prophets of the Bible prayed with their head to the ground (see Matthew26:39). Muslims do too as taught in the Qur’an verse 3:43.

7. Jesus had a beard and wore a throbe. It is Sunnah for Muslim men to do the same.

8. Jesus followed the law and believed in all the prophets, (see Matthew 5:17). Muslims do too as taught in the Qur’an verses 3:84, and 2:285.

9. Jesus’ mother Maryam dressed modestly by fully covering her body and wearing a headscarf (hijab) as found in 1 Timothy 2:9, Genesis 24:64-65, and Corinthians 11:6. Muslim women modestly dress the same as taught in the Qur’an verse 33:59.

10. Jesus and other prophets of the Bible fasted up to 40 days (see Exodus 34:28, Daniel 10:2-6. 1Kings 19:8, and Matthew 4:1-Muslims do so also during the month of Ramadan. Muslims are required to fast the full obligatory 30 days (see Qur’an 2:183), and others take it a step further by fasting an additional 6 days to increase their rewards.

11. Jesus taught to say “Peace to this house” when entering it (see Luke 10:5), and to also greet the people in the house with “peace be unto you”. Muslims do exactly what Jesus did and taught. When we enter our homes and the homes of others we say “Bismillah” and also greet with “as salaamu alaikum” (peace be upon you) as taught in the Qur’an verse 24:61.

12. Jesus was circumcised. Circumcision is 1 of the 5 fitrah in Islam, so Muslim men are required to be circumcised. According to the Bible in Luke 2:21, Jesus was eight days old when he was circumcised. In the Torah, Allah/God stated to the Prophet Abraham that it is an “Everlasting covenant” (see Genesis 17:13). In the Qur’an verse 16:123 Muslims are required to follow the religion of Abraham. The Prophet Muhammad said, “The Prophet Abraham circumcised himself when he was eighty years old.”

13. Jesus spoke aramaic and called God”Elah”, which is pronounced the same as “Allah”. Aramaic is an ancient, Biblical language. It is one of the Semitic languages that also include Hebrew, Arabic, Ethiopic and the ancient Assyrian and Babylonian language of Akkadian.
The Aramaic”Elah” and the Arabic “Allah” are the same.

The Aramaic “Elah” is derived from the Arabic “Allah”, and it means “GOD”. “Allah” in Arabic also means”GOD”, the Supreme GOD Almighty. You can easily see the similarity in their pronunciation so this concludes that the God of Jesus is also the God of the Muslims, of all mankind, and all that exist. (ze shared)

الواو

 The first is the one who wrongs himself: he obeys Allah, yet he also disobeys Him.

The second is the moderate one: he obeys Allah and does not disobey Him, but he does not draw closer to Allah through voluntary acts of worship.

The third is the one who races ahead in good deeds: he fulfills the obligatory duties, avoids what is forbidden, and draws closer to Allah through acts of obedience and devotion that are not obligatory.

Then He promised all of them the Gardens of Eden—and He never breaks His promise—in His words:
“Gardens of Eden which they will enter.”

The conjunction “and” in “they will enter them” includes everyone: the one who wrongs himself, the moderate one, and the one who races ahead in good deeds, according to the correct understanding.

For this reason, some scholars said:
“This ‘and’ deserves to be written with the water of the eyes (tears), because it leaves no Muslim outside these three categories.”

قال بعض أهل العلم: حق لهذه الواو أن تكتب بماء العينين
ما هي أغلى ” واو جماعة ” ذُكِرَت في الـقـرآن الكريم ؟

قال الشيخ الشنقيطي رحمه الله – صاحب أضواء البيان
في قوله تعالى
ثم أورثنا الكتاب الذين اصطفينا من عبادنا فمنهم ظالم لنفسه ومنهم مقتصد ومنهم سابق بالخيرات بإذن الله ذلك هو الفضل الكبير جنات عدن يدخلونها

بين أن المصطفين ثلاثة أقسام
الأول
الظالم لنفسه وهو الذي يطيع الله، ولكنه يعصيه أيضاً
والثاني
المقتصد وهو الذي يطيع الله، ولا يعصيه، ولكنه لا يتقرب بالنوافل من الطاعات
والثالث
السابق بالخيرات وهو الذي يأتي بالواجبات، ويجتنب المحرمات، ويتقرب إلى الله بالطاعات والقربات التي هي غير واجبة
ثم وعد الجميع بجنات عدن وهو لا يخلف الميعاد في قوله
جنات عدن يدخلونها
والواو في يدخل’و’نها شاملة: للظالم والمقتصد والسابق على التحقيق،
ولذا قال بعض أهل العلم
حق لهذه الواو أن تكتب بماء العينين لأنه لم يبق من المسلمين أحد خارج عن الأقسام الثلاثة

المواقف والمخاطبات للنفري

He is Muhammad ibn ‘Abd al-Jabbar ibn Hasan al-Nafri, known as al-Nafri. He was born in the town of Nafr in Iraq, from which he takes his name. He was one of the great Sufi masters and traveled extensively between Iraq and Egypt. Among his most famous works are Kitab al-Mawaqif (The Book of Stances) and al-Mukhatabat (The Book of Discourses).

Due to his profound humility, he did not write down what he said; instead, he composed his works orally for his disciples and was content with that.

One of the most famous things attributed to him is:

“The broader the vision, the narrower the expression.”

هو محمد بن عبد الجبار بن حسن النفري الملقب بالنفري ، ولد ببلدة نفر في العراق وإليها ينسب. كان من كبار الصوفية وتنقل كثيرا بين العراق ومصر ومن أشهر كتبه كتاب المواقف والمخاطبات. ومن فرط تواضعه لم يكتب ما كان يقول ، إنما كان يؤلف كتابه شفهيا لمريديه ، ويكتفى بذلك. من أشهر ما ذكر عنه أنه قال

كلما إتسعت الرؤية ، ضاقت العبارة
