Muslim Kids Video: The Easiest Way to Get into Paradise – Jennah – Heaven

A funny video shares a couple well-known ahadith about how we must treat our mothers:

  1. The Prophet Muhammad said, may Allah’s peace and blessings be upon him: Your Heaven lies under the feet of your mother (Ahmad, Nasai).
  2. A man came to the Prophet and said, ‘O Messenger of God! Who among the people is the most worthy of my good companionship? The Prophet said: Your mother. The man said, ‘Then who?’ The Prophet said: Then your mother. The man further asked, ‘Then who?’ The Prophet said: Then your mother. The man asked again, ‘Then who?’ The Prophet said: Then your father. (Bukhari, Muslim).

Role of Parents in the Qu’ran

While the above ahadith are about mothers, below are a couple verses in the Qur’an about parents

Qur’an
And your Lord has decreed that you worship none but Him. And that you be dutiful to your parents. If one of them or both of them attain old age in your life, say not to them a word of disrespect, nor shout at them but address them in terms of honour.
(Surah Al-Isra, Chapter #17, Verse #23)

And We have enjoined on man (to be dutiful and good) to his parents. His mother bore him in weakness and hardship upon weakness and hardship, and his weaning is in two years – give thanks to Me and to your parents. Unto Me is the final destination.
(Surah Luqman, Chapter #31, Verse #14)

Total Lunar Eclipse Tonight – February 20, 2008

Allah is He Who raised up the heavens without any support-you can see that-and then established Himself firmly on the Throne. He made the sun and moon subservient, each running for a specified term. He directs the whole affair. He makes the Signs clear so that hopefully you will be certain about the meeting with your Lord. (Surat ar-Ra’d: 2)Here are the details at NASA’s Lunar Eclipse February 20, 2008 website.

Subhanallah (God is Perfect) we just watched an hour-long documentary: “The Sun” on the History Channel last night!

We learned about the Penumbra, Eclipse, the Sun’s creation (Big Blast, then Supernova…), energy, heat, strength, orbits, gravitational pull of all the planets, its predicted death in 5 billion years, and much more.

Alhumdulilah (Praise be to God), at least science “proves” that The Sun as created miraculously as the Big Bang and that there WILL be the end of the Sun, Earth, Galaxy, etc. one day!

(Allah) the Originator of the heavens and earth. When He decides on something, He just says to it, “Be!” and it is. (Surat al-Baqara: 117)

As for The End being 5 billion years from now, Allahu Alam (God only knows best).

In preparation for the eclipse and to better understand/reiterate our discussions from last night’s show in relation to Islam, we’re reading HarunYahya’sThe Glory of the Heavens (Big Bang) (Sun) (Moon)” right now. We just love his Kid’s Books…don’t you?

Blessed be He who placed constellations in the sky and put a blazing lamp and shining moon among them. (Surat al-Furqan: 61)

Insha’allah khir (God willing with this blessings) we will watch it tonight, will you!?
