SURAH AL-MURSALAAT - (Those Sent) - 77
In the name of Allah, the All-Merciful, the Very-Merciful

Providing excuses (for the believers) or giving warnings (to the disbelievers), [6]

COMMENTARY: (to provide excuses [for the believers] or giving warnings (to disbelievers...77:6) This phrase is complement to verse (then bring down the advice. The 'advice' refers to the 'revelation' that came down upon the Prophets.

Verse 6 says that it serves two purposes, In the case of the people of truth and believers, it persuades them to seek excuse from Allah for their shortcomings, and pray for forgiveness; and in the case of the people of falsehood and disbelievers, it contains a warning for them of Allah's torment, if they oppose His command.

THE MESSAGE

The SAHAABAH (Companions) of RASULULLAH SAW
----------------------------------------------------

People who saw NABI Sallallahu Alyhi Wa Sallam or stayed in his company, embraced ISLAM and died as MUSLIMS are known as SAHAABAH.
Singular: Sahaabi - Plural: Sahaabah.

Any person who was in the companionship or saw NABI Sallallahu Alyhi Wa Sallam for even a very little while is a Sahaabi provided he or she died a MUSLIM.

1. Rasulullah Sallallahu Alyhi Wa Sallam mentioned: "All the Sahabaah are just and pious and whomsoever amongst them you shall follow, you shall be guided."

2. The highest rank amongst the Sahaabah is that of Sayyadina ABU BAKR RA. His position is superior to the entire Ummah (followers) of Rasulullah Sallallahu Alyhi Wa Sallam untill the day of QIYAAMAH. Next in rank is Sayyadina UMAR bin KHATTAB RA. Thereafter is the position of Sayyadina UTHMAN RA, and then Sayyadina ALI RA. Thereafter the position of the other Sahaabah is best known by ALLAH TA'ALA alone.

3. Amongst the Sahaabah is a group of TEN Companions regarding whom NABI Sallallahu Alyhi Wa Sallam gave the glad tiding of JANNAH (Paradise). These are known as the ASHARA-AL-MUBASHSHARAH (the ten who have been given the glad tidings of JANNAT).

They are:-
1. Sayyadina Abu Bakr RA.
2. Sayyadina Omar RA.
3. Sayyadina Osman RA.
4. Sayyadina Ali RA.
5. Sayyadina Talha RA.
6. Sayyadina Zubair RA.
7. Sayyadina Abdur Rahman bin Auf RA.
8. Sayyadina Saad bin abi Waqqas RA.
9. Sayyadina Saeed bin Jubair RA.
10. Sayyadina Abu Ubaidah bin Jarrah RA.

It is from the Sahaabah that the world learnt the DEEN of ISLAM. It is from them that we established the SHARIAH and obtained the SUNNAH of our NABI Sallallahu Alyhi Wa Sallam. A non-Sahabi is not equal in rank to the LOWEST Sahaabi, even though the non-Sahaabi may be the greatest WALI (pious friend of Allah).

It is COMPULSORY to show respect to all the Sahaabah, and ABSTAIN from speaking ill and criticizing the noble Sahaabah of Rasulullah Sallallahu Alyhi Wa Sallam.

*3 Tbsp oil - *2 springs of curry leaf - *1 tsp fennel seeds - *2 Tbsp ginger garlic - *2 Tbsp dhunia chutney - 1 tsp salt - 4 Tbsp fresh grated coconut.

Method

A THOUGHT
PONDER
---------
Why is it that if someone tells you that there are 1 billion stars in the universe you will believe them, but if they tell you a wall has wet paint you will have to touch it to be sure?
 
THE SMILE
THINGS YOU'LL NEVER HEAR AN EMPLOYEE TELL HIS/HER BOSS
-----------------------------------------------------------------
1. Never give me work in the morning. Always wait until 5:00pm and then bring it to me. The challenge of a deadline is always refreshing.

2. If it's really a "rush job," run in and interrupt me every 10 minutes to inquire how it's going. That greatly aids my efficiency.

3. Always leave without telling anyone where you're going. It gives me a chance to be creative when someone asks where you are.
