Ehsanul Sadequee: May 22, 2012 (Handball)

Tuesday, May 22, 2012

Bismillahir Rahmanir Rahim
Al-Hamdulillahi Rabbi A’lamin

As Salamu Alaykum wa Rahmatullah wa Barakatuhu

Dear Amma, Abba and Family,

I just got your mail today.  How are you all doing? Al-Hamdulillah, I’m doing good by the Grace of Allah Azz Wajaal.  I pray to Allah that you all are doing good by His Care and Ni’mah.

This is our 19th day here so far. Last week they moved in the other Muslim from Marion who came here with me.  Now we are cellies. Al-Hamdulillah. We used to be on the same range at Marion too. SubhanAllah, how amazing is the Decree of Allah, he arrived at Marion just a day before I did, and when Allah decreed, we left on the same day. Wal-Hamdulillah.

We go out for recreation on the weekdays for 1 hour. We just played ‘hand ball’ today. It’s when you hit the ball with the palm of the hand to hit against the wall, taking turns, one hit a turn.

As for the food here,  by the Grace of Allah, Al-Hamdulillah, it’s better than Marion. We’re also allowed to get commissary, Al-Hamdulillah.

I’ve tried to find out about how long we’ll be here but they don’t know. They (prison officials) have mentioned that they think we aren’t going back to Marion, and Allah knows best.  Anyways, from what I’ve heard is that Marion CMU is supposed to be a temporary “program” place or something, where after a period of time, they transfer the prisoners somewhere else.  May Allah, our Rabb, put us in a place much better than Marion.

Indeed, He is the best of the Hakimin, Judges, Hasbiyallahi wa Ni’mal Wakil.

Al-Hamdulillah, here Allah has given me much time to read the Quran.  Don’t send me any books- I don’t know how long I will be here, so wait until later, inshaAllah.  May Allah, our Rabb, take us out of this place and bring us to a place much better than this, sooner and swiftly.  Indeed my Rabb is Qareeb Mujeeb.  Give my salams to everyone.

Wa Salamu Alaykum wa Rahmatullah wa Barakatuhu

Ehsanul Sadequee: May 6, 2012 (Sudden Departures)

Bismillahir Rahmanir Raheem
Al hamdulillahi Rabbil ‘Alamin

As Salaamu ‘Alaykum wa Rahmatullah wa Barakatuhu

Dear Amma, Abba and Family,

I hope and ask Allah that you all are doing good by His Ni’mah. Al-hamdulillah, I’m doing good by the Grace of Allah. How is everybody?

I am currently writing to you from Greenville, Illinois, FCI, where I am in SHU (solitary confinement) waiting transfer. They brought me and another Muslim from the Marion-CMU over here on Friday, May 4, 2012.

At Marion, the warden and her crew became paranoid over some minor issues. They decided to put a Muslim in the SHU, and then the next day another, and then another the next day, and another the next day. And on the fourth day, they “deported” me and three other Muslims. So , they put at least three Muslims in the SHU and “deported” me and four Muslims, including myself. I am the only one in the SHU right now [in the new facility]. This is as far as I know, I don’t know what’s happened after Friday. Wallahul Musta’an.

Al-hamdulillah, everything is okay. I got a mushaf and am reading Quran, in preparation for the month of Ramadan.

Allah is sufficient for us, and He is the Best Wakil, Disposer of Affair.

HasbunAllahu wa Ni’maail-Wakil.

Al-Hamdulillah Rabbil ‘Alamin, the affairs all return to Allah, and He Alone is in charge. He is our Guardian and Friend, and He supports the righteous.

Keep me in your Du’a. Give everyone my salaams.

May Allah, tabaraku wa’ta’ala, deliver us and all the oppressed Muslims from the oppressors, by His own Ni’mah and Fadl. And may He united us with our families and the believers in this world and in the Al-Jannat. May Allah bless you all and rectify all your affairs and grant you success in the duniya and the Hereafter.

Wal-Hamdulillahi Rabbil Alamin
Was Salamu Alaykum wa Rahmatullah wa Barakatuhu

Ehsanul Sadequee: November 11, 2011 (Certaines Adiyah Sahih et Hasan)

Bismillahir Rahmanir Rahim al-HamduLillah Rabbil Alamin, et paix et bénédictions sur le dernier Prophète, sa famille et tous ceux qui le suivent jusqu’au Jour Dernier.

As-Salam Alaykum wa Rahmatullah wa Barakatuh.

Eid Mubarak à vous tous frères et sœurs. Je m’excuse pour cette réponse tardive, j’espérais traduire une partie des du’as du Sahih Al-Jami ‘As-Saghir et l’envoyer en une fois, mais je n’ai pas pu finir à temps, je vais donc In sha Allah vous l’envoyer en plusieurs parties, avec l’aide d’Allah. Al hamdou lillahi, je vais bien par la Ni ‘mah, le Fadl et la Rahma d’Allah, et j’espère en Lui que vous êtes tous bien par Sa Tawfeeq.

J’ai décidé de traduire quelques-uns des du’as sahih / Hasan que j’ai trouvés, qui ne sont pas dans la citadelle du musulman; quelques-uns des du’as que j’ai vus dans d’autres livres de duas traduits, mais je ne connais pas leur degré d’authenticité. Incha Allah, je vais en inclure quelques-uns ici. J’ai constaté que la copie de « Sahih Al-Jami ‘As-Saghir » que j’ai, d’Al-Maktab Al-Islami, la 3e édition, 1408 H/1988 CE, comporte quelques fautes de frappe, parfois importantes. Wallahu A’lam. Alors peut-être quelqu’un peut vérifier la traduction à partir d’une meilleure édition. Qu’Allah accepte cet effort, qu’Il le bénisse et le rendre bénéfique pour les gens et le succès vient seulement d’Allah.
…..
pg. 228-229:

Hadith # 979: «Le Plus Grand Nom d’Allah, avec lequel, s’Il est invoqué, Il répond » – est en trois sourates du Coran: Al-Baqarah, Ali Imran, et Taha ».
– D’Abu Umamah (ra); Sahih.

# 980: « Le Plus Grand Nom d’Allah est dans ces deux versets:« Et votre divinité est une divinité, il n’y a pas rien digne d’être adoré à part Lui, Ar-Rahman Ar-Rahim  » [Al-Baqarah], et l’ouverture d’Ali Imran « Alif, Lam, Mim. Allah, il n’y a pas de divinité a part lui, Al-Hayy Al-Qayyoom «
- de Asma bint Yazid (ra); Hasan.

pg. 269: Hadith # 1250: «Adhére à (et utilise souvent en Doa) » « Ya Thal Jalali Wal-Ikram « . [O Propriétaire de Majesté et de Générosité] »
– D’après Anas (ra); Sahih.

pg. 270: Hadith # 1255: «Ô Allah donne moi le plus vaste de Ton Rizq (provisions et de subsistance) dans ma vieillesse, et (à) la fin de ma vie. »
– De ‘Aïcha (ra), Hasan.

# 1256: « O Allah, place en Médine deux fois la bénédiction (baraka) que Tu as placée à la Mecque. »
–D’après Anas (ra), Sahih.

Inchallah, je vais envoyer d’avantage plus tard, ne nous oubliez pas dans vos du’as, et donnez notre salam à tous les frères et sœurs, Eid Mubarak.

Was-Salam Alaykum wa Rahmatullah wa Barakatuh. wal-Hamdu Lillahillathi Bi Ni’matihi Tatimmus-Salihat.

Ehsanul Sadequee: November 11, 2011 (Some Sahih and Hasan Adiyah)

Bismillahir Rahmanir Rahim al-HamduLillah Rabbil Alamin, and peace and blessings be on the Last Prophet, and his family and all those who follow him till the Last Day.

As-Salam Alaykum wa Rahmatullah wa Barakatuh,

‘Eid Mubarak to all of you brothers and sisters. I apologize for the delayed letter, I was hoping to translate a section of Du’as from Sahih Al-Jami’ As-Saghir and send the entire section at once, but I wasn’t able to finish in time, so I will InSha’Allah send it to you in installments, with the Help of Allah. Al-HamduLillah I am fine by the Ni’mah, Fadl and Rahmah of Allah, and I hope in Him that you are all doing good by His Tawfeeq.

I decided to translate some of the sahih/hasan du’as that I found, that are not in the Hisn Al-Muslim; some of the Du’as I’ve seen in other translated books of Du’as, but I did not know of their authenticity. InSha’Allah, I will include some here. I have come to notice that the « Sahih Al-Jami’ As-Saghir » copy I have, from Al-Maktab al-Islami, the 3rd Edition, 1408 H/1988 CE, has some typing mistakes, sometimes major. Wallahu A’lam. So perhaps someone can verify the translation with a better edition. May Allah accept this effort and bless it and make it beneficial for people, and success is only from Allah alone.
…..

pg. 228-229:
Hadith # 979:«The Greatest Name of Allah, with which if He is invoked, He answers – is in three Surahs of the Qur’an: in Al-Baqarah, Ali Imran, and TaHa. »
– from Abu Umamah (ra); Sahih

# 980:
« The Greatest Name of Allah is in these two Verses: “And your Ilah (deity) is One Ilah (Deity), there is no Ilah (one worthy of being worshipped) except Him, Ar-Rahman Ar-Rahim ” [Al-Baqarah], and the opening of Ali Imran “Alif Lam Mim. Allah, there is no Ilah but Him, Al-Hayy Al-Qayyoom.” »
– from Asma’ bint Yazid (ra); Hasan
pg. 269:
Hadith # 1250: « Adhere to (and frequently use in Du’a), « Ya Thal Jalali wal-Ikram » [O Owner of Majesty and Generosity]. »
– from Anas (ra); Sahih
pg. 270: Hadith # 1255:
« O Allah make the most spacious of Your rizq (provisions and sustenance) upon me (be) at my old age, and (at) the end of my life. »
– from ‘A’ishah (ra), Hasan
# 1256:
« O Allah, place in Madinah twice the blessing (barakah) You have placed in Makkah. »
– from Anas (ra), Sahih

—-
InShAllah, I will send more later, do not forget us from your Du’as, and give our Salams to all the brothers and sisters, Eid Mubarak.

Was-Salam Alaykum wa Rahmatullah wa Barakatuh. Wal-Hamdu Lillahillathi Bi Ni’matihi Tatimmus-Salihat.

Ehsanul Islam Sadequee: October 11, 2011 (Advice & Recantation)

Bismillahir Rahmanir Rahim wal-HamduLillah Rabbil Alamin, and peace and blessings be upon the Last Prophet, and his family and all those who follow him with Eman till the Last Day. HasbiyAllahu wa Ni’mal Wakil, wa bihi Asta’in. as-Salam Alaykum wa Rahmatullah wa Barakatuh.

I hope this reaches you, Akhiyal Aziz, with the Fadl of Allah, while you are in His Rahmah and Ni’mah. May He strengthen your Eman and make you and us from His Muhsinin servants, and collect our souls with the Abrar and muqarrabin. May our Rabb Zul-Jalal wal-Ikram take care of all our affairs and the affairs of all Muslims by His Rahmah.

I advise you my dear brother with the advise that Allah gave Moosaa (peace be on him) before He, Azza wa Jall, sent him to Fir’awn in Surah TaHa, V.42, “… and do not weaken in My Zikr“, so increase in the Zikr of Allah and Du’a to Him, and attach yourself to the Qur’an, as was the maz’hab of the Sahabah, and there is no speech dearer to Al-Malik Al-Mutakabbir, the Proud King Who Glorifies Himself, than His Own Speech.

My dear brother, by the Fadl and Rahmah of Allah, Allah has kept me well and increased His favors upon everyday, and I cannot count the blessings of Allah upon me, He is as He has praised Himself, indeed He is Al-’Azeez Al-Hameed. Do not forget us from your du’as.  Read the rest of this entry »

Ehsanul Sadequee: March 10, 2011 (The Zikr of Allah)

Bismillahir Rahmanir Rahim, wal-Hamdu Lillahi Rabbil Alamin, and may Allah send the greatest and best peace and blessings and salutations upon the Last Prophet Muhammad, and his family.

By the grace of Allah, I am doing well. I ask Allah, Zul Jalal wal-Ikram, that He keeps you all in good Eeman and health. I will In Sha’Allah, share with you two narrations about two zikr prayers, from Hisn Al-Muslim (Fortress of the Muslim):

1) It is reported that the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said [meaning approximately]:

“There are two statements which are light on the tongue, heavy in the scale, and beloved to Ar-Rahman (The Lord of Grace, Most Compassionate): “SubhanAllahi wa Bi Hamdihi, SubhanAllahil ‘Azeem” {apprx. trans. – “Perfect and Glorious is Allah, and with His Praise, Perfect and Glorious is Allah, the Tremendous.” (Bukhari and Muslim).

And in a narration Muslim, whoever says 100 times in the morning and evening, “SubhanAllahi wa Bi Hamdihi”, none will bring better than him on the Day of Resurrection, except one who says similarly, or more than him.

2) It is narrated that the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said [approximately meaning]:

Whoever says “La Ilaha IllAllah Wahdahu La shareeka lahu, Lahul Mulku wa Lahul Hamdu, wa huwa ‘ala kulli shay’in Qadeer” {apprx. trans. – There is none worthy of being worshipped except Allah, Alone, He has no partner, to Him belongs the Kingdom, and to Him belongs the Praise, and He is Capable over everything.) and – 100 times a day, will receive reward equal to freeing 10 slaves, 100 good deeds will be written for him, and 100 sins will be erased, and will be a protection for him from shaytan for that day until evening, and none will bring better than him on the Day of Resurrection, except he who did it more. (Bukhari and Muslim). Read the rest of this entry »
