The Muslim Guide

So pathetic. Where are the good ones of this planet?

The eyes, ears, tongue: These are, but instruments of illusion useful only according to the intellect of their possessor. BUT the HEART can never be faulted. And if it appears to fault at times it's only because those faulty instruments have been used to measure it and therefore hand down wrong judgment. The whole Journey of life is a migration from the known city of the senses to the unknown destination of the heart. From the light of the sun and the moon to the darkness of the grave. But If you lived from your heart the whole of your life, how can the darkness of the grave scare you again? The heart is either a place of absolute darkness or an abode of excellent light: a place of pain and sorrow or of joy and peace depending on whether we lived from inwards-out or outwards-in. Similarly, the grave is as dark or bright as the soul it encapsulates. Each man goes there with his own lamp! How so true: For him whom Allah has not given any light, there is no Light!

Al-Hadith:

"There will come upon the people years of treachery in which people will be fooled. The truthful will be disbelieved and the liar will be believed. The treacherous will be trusted, but the trustworthy will not. And the ruwaybida will speak. They said, who are the Ruwaybida?" He, (peace be upon him) said, foolish people who speak about public affairs" (Musnad Ahmad).

The way of the Muslim is to turn to the Quran Not the Media.

KISSING/KISS in the Hadith.

Asslaam alaikum to All. Alhamdulilah, this subject matter and or related issues have seen posts on this platform on a number of occasion by some brothers already and received a number of comments, which for me was quite good as a seeker.
I just stumbled upon some hadith that i hope would shed some more light on this subject and help us all to put things right in the practice of our deen. May Allah help. Now here are some interesting hadith on this subject for those who seek clarity:

Dawud :: Book 41 : Hadith 5206
Narrated al-Wazi' ibn Zari':

Umm Aban, daughter of al-Wazi' ibn Zari', quoting his grandfather, who was a member of the deputation of AbdulQays, said: When we came to Medina, we raced to be first to dismount and KISS the HAND and FOOT of the Apostle of Allah (peace_be_upon_him). But al-Mundhir al-Ashajj waited until he came to the bundle of his clothes. He put on his two garments and then he went to the Prophet (peace_be_upon_him).
He said to him: You have two characteristics which Allah likes: gentleness and deliberation.
He asked: Have I acquired them or has Allah has created (them) my nature? He replied: No, Allah has created (them) in your nature.
He then said: Praise be to Allah Who has created in my nature two characteristics which Allah and His Apostle like.

Bukhari :: Book 5 :: Volume 59 :: Hadith 734
Narrated Aisha and Ibn Abbas:
Abu Bakr KISSED the Prophet after his DEATH.

Muslim :: Book 7 : Hadith 2921
Abu Tufail reported: I saw Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him) circumambulating the House. and touching the corner with a stick that he had with him, and then KISSED the STICK.

Dawud :: Book 41 : Hadith 5205
Narrated Usayd ibn Hudayr,:

AbdurRahman ibn AbuLayla, quoting Usayd ibn Hudayr, a man of the Ansar, said that while he was given to jesting and was talking to the people and making them laugh, the Prophet (peace_be_upon_him) poked him under the ribs with a stick. He said: Let me take retaliation. He said: Take retaliation. He said: You are wearing a shirt but I am not. The Prophet (peace_be_upon_him) then raised his shirt and the man embraced him and began to KISSED his SIDE. Then he said: This is what I wanted, Apostle of Allah!

Muslim :: Book 7 : Hadith 2910
NAfi' (Allah be pleased with him) reported: I saw'lbn 'Umar (Allah be pleased with them) touching the Stone with his hand and then KISSING his HAND. and he said: I have never abandoned it since I saw Allah's Messenger (way peace be upon him) doing It.

Emphasis mine.
May Allah guide us all to that which is most true in this our affair.
