through its Faith.' (6.158) And the Hour will be established while two men spreading a garment in front of them but they will<br />

not be able to sell it, nor fold it up; and the Hour will be established when a man has milked his she-camel and has taken<br />

away the milk but he will not be able to drink it; and the Hour will be established before a man repairing a tank (for his<br />

livestock) is able to water (his animals) in it; and the Hour will be established when a person has raised a morsel (of food) to<br />

his mouth but will not be able to eat it."<br />

Hadith 955<br />

Narrated by<br />

Shaddad ibn Aws<br />

Allah's Messenger (peace be upon him) used to recite in his prayer (this supplication): `O Allah, I beg of Thee steadfastness<br />

in (righteous) affairs and firm determination (to adhere to the path) of righteousness; I beg of Thee to make me grateful for<br />

Thy favour and the excellence of the worship of Thee; I beg of Thee a sound heart and a truthful tongue, and I beg of Thee<br />

the good which Thou knowest, I seek refuge in Thee from the evil that Thou knowest, and I seek pardon of Thee for what<br />

Thou knowest.'<br />

Sahih Muslim Hadith<br />

Hadith 6204 Narrated by<br />

AbuHurayrah<br />

A person said: Allah's Apostle (peace be upon him), I have relatives with whom I try to have close relationship, but they sever<br />

(this relation). I treat them well, but they treat me ill. I am sweet to them but they are harsh towards me. Upon this he (the<br />

Prophet) said: If it is so as you say, then you in fact throw hot ashes (upon their faces) and there would always remain with<br />

you on behalf of Allah (an Angel to support you) who would keep you dominant over them so long as you adhere to this (path<br />

of righteousness).<br />

Hudhaifa<br />

Narrated by<br />

The Prophet said, "There was a man amongst the people who had suspicion as to the righteousness of his deeds. Therefore<br />

he said to his family, 'If I die, take me and burn my corpse and throw my ashes into the sea on a hot (or windy) day.' They did<br />

so, but Allah, collected his particles and asked (him), What made you do what you did?' He replied, 'The only thing that made<br />

me do it, was that I was afraid of You.' So Allah forgave him."<br />

RISE :<br />

30:17 - So (give) glory to Allah when ye reach eventide and when ye rise in the morning; 3521<br />

3521 The special times for Allah's remembrance are so described as to include all our activities in life,-when we rise early<br />

in the morning, and when we go to rest in the evening; when we are in the midst of our work, at the decline of the sun,<br />

and in the late afternoon. It may be noted that these are all striking stages in the passage of the sun through our<br />

terrestrial day, as well as stages in our daily working lives. On this are based the hours of the five canonical prayers<br />

afterwards prescribed in Madinah; viz. (1) early morning before sunrise (Fajr); (2) when the day begins to decline, just<br />

after noon (Zuhr); (3) in the late afternoon, say midway between noon and sunset ('Asr); and (4) and (5) the two<br />

evening prayers, one just after sunset (Maghrib); and the other after the evening twilight has all faded from the<br />

horizon, the hour indicated for rest and sleep ('Isha). Cf. xi. 114 nn. 1616-17; xvii. 78-79, n. 2275; xx. 130. n. 2655.<br />

(30.17)<br />

37:5 - Lord of the heavens and of the earth and all between them and Lord of every point at the<br />

rising of the sun! 4034<br />

4034 Allah is the Lord of everything that exists-'the heavens and the earth, and all between them'. He is the Lord of the<br />

Mashariq,-of every point at the rising of the sun. As the Commentators tell us, there are in the solar year only two<br />

equinoctial days, when the sun rises due east: on every other the sun rises at a shifting point either north or south of<br />

due east. In vii. 137 we have Mashariq al ardhi wa magaribaha, where the plural of the words for East and West is<br />

negligible, as the conjunction of the two embraces all points. The same may be said of lxx. 40, where Allah is called<br />

"Lord of all points in the East and the West". If we are speaking of longitudes, they may embrace all latitudes. In lv. 17<br />

Allah is called "Lord of the two Easts and the two Wests", referring to the extreme points in either case. A cursory<br />

reader may ask, why is only the East referred to here? The reply is that it is not so much the East as the rising of the<br />

sun, on which stress is laid. The Arabic mashriq or mashariq is close enough to the root-word sharaqa, to suggest, not<br />
