like those of Odalisques, either for their own pleasure or the pleasure of their husband. They are told here that they<br />

had no place in the sacred Household if they merely wished for ease or worldly glitter. If such were the case, they<br />

could be divorced and amply provided for. (33.28)<br />

Sahih Al-Bukhari Hadith<br />

Hadith 6.309 Narrated by<br />

Aisha<br />

(the wife of the Prophet) when Allah's Apostle was ordered to give option to his wives, he started with me, saying, "I am going<br />

to mention to you something, but you shall not hasten (to give your reply) unless you consult your parents." The Prophet<br />

knew that my parents would not order me to leave him. Then he said, "Allah says: 'O Prophet (Muhammad)! Say to your<br />

wives: If you desire the life of this world and its glitter...a great reward." (33.28-29) I said, "Then why I consult my parents?<br />

Verily, I seek Allah, His Apostle and the Home of the Hereafter." Then all the other wives of the Prophet did the same as I did.<br />

Sahih Al-Bukhari HadithHadith 4.544<br />

Narrated by Narrated by<br />

Abu Huraira<br />

Allah's Apostle said, "The first group of people who will enter Paradise, will be glittering like the full moon and those who will<br />

follow them, will glitter like the most brilliant star in the sky. They will not urinate, relieve nature, spit, or have any nasal<br />

secretions. Their combs will be of gold, and their sweat will smell like musk. The aloes-wood will be used in their centers.<br />

Their wives will be houris. All of them will look alike and will resemble their father Adam (in statute), sixty cubits tall."<br />

GLORY:<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 in<br />

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 />

30:18 - Yea To Him be praise in the heavens and on earth; and in the late afternoon and when the<br />

day begins to decline.<br />

42:5 - The heavens are almost rent asunder from above them (by His Glory): and the angels<br />

celebrate the Praises of their Lord and pray for forgiveness for (all) beings on earth: Behold!<br />

Verily Allah is He the Oft-Forgiving Most Merciful. 45304531<br />

4530 How can we conceive of sublimity and greatness in a higher degree than this, that the highest heavens are almost<br />

ready to burst asunder by His Glory, which is higher than all? (42.5)<br />

4531 The angels are the noblest and purest beings of whom we can conceive. They reflect on the one side Allah's Glory<br />

and Praise, and on the other, two other attributes of Allah, that look towards His erring creatures, viz., Forgiveness<br />

and Mercy. The two sets of attributes are complementary. They thus proclaim in their own being and in their prayers<br />

the Greatness and unbounded Goodness of Allah. (42.5)<br />

64:1 - Whatever is in the heavens and on earth doth declare the Praises and Glory of Allah: to Him<br />

belongs Dominion and to Him belongs Praise: and He has power over all things. 5479<br />

5479 Cf. lxii. 1, and n. 5449. All things by their very existence proclaim the Glory and the Praises of Allah. He has dominion<br />

over all things, but He uses His dominion for just and praiseworthy ends. He has power over all things: therefore He<br />

can combine justice with mercy, and His Plan and Purpose cannot be frustrated by the existence of Evil along with<br />

Good in His Kingdom. (64.1)<br />

69:52 - So glorify the name of thy Lord Most High. 5674<br />

5674 As Allah has given us this absolute Truth through His Revelation, it behaves us to understand it and be grateful to<br />

Him. We must celebrate His praises in thought, word and deed. (69.52)<br />

7:143 - When his Lord manifested his glory on the mount He made it as dust and Moses fell<br />

down in a swoon. When he recovered his senses he said: "Glory be to Thee! to thee I turn in<br />

repentance and I am the first to believe."<br />
