Words of Wisdom
The believer is constantly asking Allah to protect him from the whisperings of Shaytan. Shaytan wants to cause chaos, conflict, and confusion when he whispers. This has led to many people having problems with their relationship between themselves and Allah and with each other. Shaytan's goal is to mislead us and guide us away from things pleasing to Allah. We must be aware of his goals and tricks and constantly seek Allah's protection against the whisperings and schemes of Shaytan. May Allah protect all of us and keep us united on things pleasing to Him.
Hadeeth of the Day
Narrated AbuSa'id al-Khudri:
When the Messenger of Allah () got up to pray at night (for tahajjud prayer)
he uttered the takbir and then said:
" .
"Glory be to Thee, O Allah," and "Praise be to Thee," "Blessed is Thy name," and Exalted is Thy greatness." and "There is no god but Thee."
" " .
He then said: "There is no god but Allah" three times;
" " .
he then said: "Allah is altogether great" three times:
"
"I seek refuge in Allah, All-Hearing and All-Knowing from the accursed devil, from his evil suggestion (hamz), from his puffing up (nafkh), and from his spitting (nafth)." He then recited (the Qur'an). Abu Dawud
