Asalamualikum va Rehmatullah
1) Character Improvement:
In continuation with the last night's email and the Ahadiths about how Mo'min people are personified love for each other, Islam always talks about peace and brother hood, about loving the people around you,
'Believers are but brothers, so set things right between your brothers and observe your duty to Allah so that you may obtain mercy' (Alquran, chapter 49, verse 10)
'Believers are like the part of building to one another - each part supporting the others.' (Al-Bukhari)
'None of you can be a believer unless he loves for his brothers what he loves for himself' (Bukhari)
tough deal, i agree... but phew, atleast we can teeny veeny bit try? and then Insha Allah help from Allah pak will come!
2) Inculcating sunnah as habits:
Allah o Akbar! May be i am too sleepy at the moment that this email is filled with Sunnahs and duas relating to sleeping,
Al-Bukhaari (6320) and Muslim (2714) narrated that Abu Hurayrah (may Allaah be pleased with him) said: The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said: "When one of you goes to his bed, let him dust off his bed with the inside of his lower garment, for he does not know what came onto it after he left it. Then let him say: Bismika Rabbee wada'tu janbi wa bika arfa'uhu wa in amsakta nafsi farhamhaa wa in arsaltahaa fahfazhaa bimaa tuhfaz bihi 'ibaadika al-saaliheen ( In Your name, my Lord, I lie down, and in Your name I rise. If You should take my soul then have mercy on it, and if You should return my soul then protect it as You protect Your righteous slaves)." (The Arabic of this is also mentioned in the link, please put a little effort in learning Islam)
Al-Nawawi (may Allaah have mercy on him) said in Sharh Muslim: "the inside of his lower garment" means its edge. What is meant is that it is mustahabb to dust down his bed before lying on it, lest there be a snake or scorpion or other harmful thing in it. And he should dust it down with his hand covered by the edge of his lower garment, lest something bad happen to his hand if there is anything there. End quote.
3) Dua.
There are quite few sleeping duas, so I have gotten myself a card which have all these duas written on it and placed it next to my bed, so every night before sleeping, i would recite all of these until Alhamdolilah i learnt them by heart; you can write it on a paper and paste it on the wall next to your bed, or have a print and paste and insha Allah it'll be easier:
'When retiring to his bed every night, the Prophet (S) would hold his palms together, spit in them, recite the last three chapters of the Qur'aan and then wipe over his entire body as much as possible with his hands, beginning with his head and face and then all parts of the body, he would do this three times.' (Al Bukhari - Fazail-e-Quraan baab 14)
The Prophet (S) also said: 'When you are about to sleep recite aayat-ul-kursiyy till the end of the verse for there will remain over you a protection from Allaah and no devil will draw near to you until morning' (Al Bukhari - Fazail-e-Quraan baab 10)
Al-Bara' ibn 'Azib said, "When the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, used to retire to his bed, he would lie on his right side and then say, 'O Allah, I surrender my soul to You and I turn my face to You and I entrust my affair to You and I seek Your support with hope and fear of You. There is no refuge from You but to You. I have believed in Your Book which You sent down and Your Prophet whom You sent.'" [al-Bukhari] (the dua is provided in the link at the end of this email)
The rest of the duas, you can take from this link.
