O MUSLIM ➡️ THE MASJID: ✌️ The mosques of Allah should only be maintained by those who believe in Allah and the Last Day, establish prayer, pay alms-tax, and fear none but Allah. It is right to hope that they will be among the truly guided. (Qur'an 9:18) ✌️ That light shines through houses of worship which Allah has ordered to be raised, and where His Name is mentioned. He is glorified there morning and evening by men who are not distracted - either by buying or selling - from Allah’s remembrance, or performing prayer, or paying alms-tax. They fear a Day when hearts and eyes will tremble, hoping that Allah may reward them according to the best of their deeds, and increase them out of His grace. And Allah provides for whoever He wills without limit. (Qur’an 24: 36-38) ✌️ Indeed, We see you ˹O Prophet˺ turning your face towards heaven. Now We will make you turn towards a direction of prayer that will please you. So turn your face towards the Sacred Mosque in Mecca - wherever you are, turn your faces towards it. Those who were given the Scripture certainly know this to be the truth from their Lord. And Allah is never unaware of what they do. (Qur’an 2:144) ✌️ Wherever you are ˹O Prophet˺, turn your face towards the Sacred Mosque. And wherever you believers are, face towards it, so that people will have no argument against you, except the wrongdoers among them. Do not fear them; fear Me, so that I may continue to perfect My favour upon you and so you may be rightly guided. (Qur’an 2:150) ✌️ Glory be to the One Who took His servant ˹Muḥammad˺ by night from the Sacred Mosque to the Farthest Mosque whose surroundings We have blessed, so that We may show him some of Our signs. Indeed, He alone is the All-Hearing, All-Seeing. (Qur’an 17:1) ❤️ Ibne-Abbas (RA) narrates that Rasulullah ﷺ said: Masjids are the houses of Allah on the earth. They shine to the dwellers of the sky, just as the stars shine to the dwellers of the earth. (Tabarani) ❤️ Abu Sa’id (RA) narrates Rasulullah ﷺ said: If you see a man frequenting the masjid, bear witness to his Iman. Allah ﷻ says (9:18): Only he will frequent the masjids, who believes in Allah and the Last Day. (Tirmidhi) ❤️ Abu Hurairah (RA) narrates that Rasulullah ﷺ said: A Muslim that makes the masjid his abode for Salah and Dhikr, Allah ﷻ is overjoyed with him as a family is overjoyed by the return of an absent relative. (Ibne-Majah) ❤️ Abu Darda (RA) narrates: I heard Rasululllah ﷺ saying: The masjid is the house of every pious person who fears Allah ﷻ. For the one who spends most of his time in the masjid, Allah has taken upon himself to comfort him, to bestow Mercy upon him, to make the crossing over Bridge of Sirat easy for him, and to grant him His Pleasure and Paradise. (Tabarani) ❤️ Abu Hurairah (RA) narrates that Rasulullah ﷺ said: The parts of the land liked most by Allah ﷻ are its masjids, and the parts of land disliked most by Allah are its markets. (Muslim) ❤️ Mu’adh ibne-Jabal (RA) narrates that Rasulullah ﷺ said: Verily, Shaytan is the wolf to man, like the wolf catches sheep; the one which is solitary and the one which stays away from the flock. So avoid staying alone in valleys. Hold firmly to Jamaat (collectiveness), to live with the common people, and to the masjid. (Musnad Ahmad) ❤️ Abu Hurairah (RA) narrates that Rasulullah ﷺ said: The people who frequent the masjids are (like) their pegs. The angels are their companions. If they are absent the angels search for them, and if they become sick the angels visit them, and if they are in need the angels help them. He also said: The one, who sits in the masjid, derives at least one benefit from these three: Either he meets a Muslim brother from whom he may get benefit in terms of Deen, or he hears a word for wisdom, or receives a Mercy from Allah for which every Muslim waits for. (Musnad Ahmad) ❤️ Abu Hurairah (RA) narrates that Rasulullah ﷺ said: Whoever goes to the masjid in the morning or in the evening, Allah ﷻ prepares for him a good hospitality in Paradise as often as he goes to the masjid, morning or evening. (Bukhari) ❤️ Umar ibn Khattab (RA) narrates: I heard Rasulullah ﷺ saying: Anyone who buids a masjid where the name of Allah ﷻ is remembered and (He is praised), Allah will build a palace for him in Paradise. (Ibne-Hibban) ❤️ Abu Sa’id Khudri (RA) narrates that Rasulullah ﷺ said: Whoever loves the masjid, Allah ﷻ loves him. (Majma ‘uz-Zawaid)

International Coffee Day, October 1 The first coffee house/shop in the world (Kiva Han) is said to have appeared in Ottoman Istanbul back in 1475 AD during the reign of Sultan Mehmed the Conqueror. In the 15th century, Yemenis made a significant discovery: they found that coffee beans from the coffee plant could be roasted, ground, and brewed to create an invigorating beverage. Ethiopians also lay claim to this discovery, but Yemen was the first place where coffee beans were exported from the Red Sea region, and it became closely associated with coffee production in the Ottoman Empire's geographical perception. According to Islamic tradition, the initial consumers of this drink were Sufis who aimed to stay awake all night for their religious devotion, known as dhikr, or the act of invoking God. Once the coffee was found, the practice of drinking it quickly spread to the Holy CIty of Makkah. Pilgrims returning from Mecca introduced coffee to the cities like Cairo and Damascus. By the mid-16th century, it had made its way to the heart of the Ottoman Empire, Istanbul. From then on, coffee became a widespread phenomenon within the empire, enjoyed by both sultans and the general population. During the 17th century, coffeehouses became a common sight in every Ottoman city, and some villages even boasted their own. A 17th-century Ottoman travel writer, Evliya Çelebi, vividly described coffeehouses in major cities, some of which could accommodate up to 1,000 customers at once. By the early 18th century, Europeans had successfully introduced coffee plants, which were smuggled out of Ethiopia, to their colonies in the Caribbean Sea. By the end of the century, coffee beans from the Americas began to replace those from Yemen, even in the Ottoman Empire's markets. Join our Selâm News

#DidYouKnow that historically, coffee as a hot beverage was introduced to the world by Muslim saints in the 15th-century in Yemen? Now the whole Western world drinks coffee. It was first discovered by the 9th-century Ethiopian goat-herder Kaldi. In its earliest days, coffee helped Sūfīs from Yemen to stay up during late nights of devotion (Dhikr). Later brought to Cairo by a group of students, the coffee buzz soon caught on around the empire. By the 16th century it reached Turkey, but not until the 17th century did the beans start boiling in Europe, brought to Italy by a Venetian trader. Did you know this?

This is a clear 𝐰𝐚𝐫𝐧𝐢𝐧𝐠 to the enemies of Ahl al-Tasawwuf meaning Awliyā’ and the people who spew filth against these noble servants and friends of Allāh that if they don’t repent before the death, a great punishment awaits them in the Hereafter. It’s reported by Sayyidunā Abū Hurairah in Ḥadīth al-Qudsī: The Messenger of Allāh ﷺ said: "Allāh, the Exalted, has said: '𝐈 𝐰𝐢𝐥𝐥 𝐝𝐞𝐜𝐥𝐚𝐫𝐞 𝐰𝐚𝐫 𝐚𝐠𝐚𝐢𝐧𝐬𝐭 𝐡𝐢𝐦 𝐰𝐡𝐨 𝐭𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐭𝐬 𝐰𝐢𝐭𝐡 𝐡𝐨𝐬𝐭𝐢𝐥𝐢𝐭𝐲 𝐚 𝐖𝐚𝐥ī 𝐨𝐟 𝐌𝐢𝐧𝐞. And the most beloved thing with which My slave comes nearer to Me, is what I have enjoined upon him; and My slave keeps on coming closer to Me through performing Nawāfil (voluntary prayers or doing extra deeds besides what is obligatory) until I love him, (so much so that) I become his hearing with which he hears, and his sight with which he sees, and his hand with which he strikes, and his leg with which he walks; and if he asks Me something, I will surely give him, and if he seeks My Protection (refuge), I will surely protect him". 📘 — [Saḥīḥ al-Bukhārī] It’s narrated by Sayyidunā ‘Umar al-Fārūq (may Allāh be pleased with him) that the Holy Prophet ﷺ said: “There are people from the servants of Allāh who are neither prophets nor martyrs; the prophets and martyrs will envy them on the Day of Resurrection for their rank from Allāh, the Most High. They (the people) asked: Tell us, Messenger of Allāh, who are they? He replied: They are people who love one another for the spirit of Allāh (i.e. the Qur'ān), without having any mutual kinship and giving property to one. I swear by Allāh, their faces will glow and they will be (sitting) in (pulpits of) light. They will have no fear (on the Day) when the people will have fear, and they will not grieve when the people will grieve. He then recited the following Qur'ānic verse: ‘𝐁𝐞𝐡𝐨𝐥𝐝! 𝐕𝐞𝐫𝐢𝐥𝐲 𝐟𝐨𝐫 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐟𝐫𝐢𝐞𝐧𝐝𝐬 𝐨𝐟 𝐀𝐥𝐥𝐚̄𝐡 (𝐀𝐰𝐥𝐢𝐲𝐚̄’ 𝐀𝐥𝐥𝐚̄𝐡) 𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐫𝐞 𝐢𝐬 𝐧𝐨 𝐟𝐞𝐚𝐫, 𝐧𝐨𝐫 𝐬𝐡𝐚𝐥𝐥 𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐲 𝐠𝐫𝐢𝐞𝐯𝐞.’ [Qur’ān 10:62]” 📘 — [Sunan Abī Dāwūd 3527, Saḥīḥ] Allāh also says regarding Ahl al-Dhikr i.e. Awliyā’ Allāh (the saints): “They are those who remember Allāh while 𝐬𝐭𝐚𝐧𝐝𝐢𝐧𝐠, 𝐬𝐢𝐭𝐭𝐢𝐧𝐠, 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐥𝐲𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐨𝐧 𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐢𝐫 𝐬𝐢𝐝𝐞𝐬” [Qur’ān 3:191], and “𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐢𝐫 𝐬𝐤𝐢𝐧 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐢𝐫 𝐡𝐞𝐚𝐫𝐭 𝐬𝐨𝐟𝐭𝐞𝐧 to the remembrance of Allāh.” [Qur’ān 39:23] Sayyidunā ‘Alī ibn Abī Tālīb (may Allāh be pleased with him) said: I heard the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ say: “The Abdāl are in Syria, and they are 40 men. Whenever one of them dies, Allāh substitutes another in his place. By means of them, Allāh brings down the rain, gives victory over enemies, and diverts punishment from the people of Syria.” 📘 — [Musnad Aḥmad 1:112, Saḥīḥ] And from Sayyidunā Anas ibn Mālik (may Allāh be pleased with him): “The earth will never be empty of 40 men who are similar to the Intimate Friend of Allāh (Sayyidunā Ibrāhīm ‘alayhi-salām). By them rain falls and victory is granted. Not one of them dies except that Allāh replaces him with another.” Qatāda said, “We do not doubt that 𝐇̣𝐚𝐬𝐚𝐧 𝐚𝐥-𝐁𝐚𝐬𝐫ī is one of them.” 📘 — [Tabarānī in Mu’jam al-Awsāt (4:247 #4101) and al-Kabīr (10:224 #10390), Ḥasan]
