The Prophet ﷺ said:
The Fire is forbidden for every person who is hayyin, layyin,qarib,and sahl.
Meaning of the 4 qualities:
1. Hayyin – a calm person who is not harsh or quick to anger
2. Layyin – gentle in speech and behavior, bringing peace to others
Rabbighfirli – My Lord, forgive me
Warhamni – Have mercy on me
Wajburni – Cover my shame
Warfa'ni – Raise my rank
Warzuqni – Give me sustenance
Wahdini – Give me guidance
Wa'afini – Make me healthy
Wa'fu'anni – Pardon me

Why is pork (pig) forbidden in Islam?
A proud and brilliant Jewish princess from a powerful tribe entered the grand Islamic court of Andalusia with a bold challenge:
"If anyone can give me a clear, logical reason why the pig is haram not some old story, but something my mind can accept I will recite the Shahadah right here in front of all of you!"
The court fell silent. Scholars were tense. This was no ordinary woman; she was sharp, arrogant and unmatched in debate.
Then an elderly, wise scholar stood up calmly. With a gentle smile, he asked a single question that stunned everyone:
"Princess, do you know that almost every male animal in the world protects its female with fierce jealousy? A dog, a bull, even a lion will fight to the death if another male approaches its mate. But have you ever observed the pig?"
The princess, confused, shook her head.
The scholar's voice echoed through the hall:
"The pig is the only animal on earth with no sense of honor (ghairat). It actually invites other males to mate with its own female without any anger, without any jealousy. It is the most shameless creature. It even eats its own filth."
A pin-drop silence fell over the court.
The scholar continued:
"Our Prophet PBUH taught us that the food we eat affects both our body and our soul. Nations that consume the pig gradually lose their sense of honor. They no longer feel shame in sharing their women. Look at where such societies have reached today."
The princess stood frozen. Her pride shattered. This simple yet powerful truth left her speechless. Her handkerchief slipped from her trembling hands as tears filled her eyes.
In a shaking voice, in the middle of the grand court, she declared:
"Ashhadu an la ilaha illallah, wa ashhadu anna Muhammadar Rasulullah…"
She accepted Islam on the spot.
Modern science now confirms that pork carries over 70 harmful diseases and parasites. Yet 1400 years ago, Islam protected its followers from both physical and moral impurity by declaring it haram.

Fatima Bint Muhammad ﷺ🤍
Fatimah was the fifth child of the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ and Khadijah.
She was about five years old when The Prophet received revelation so scholars say “she grew up in Islam.”
One of her nicknames was Ummu Abeeha (Her Father’s Mother), due to the fact that she was always in his company and ready to defend him, just like a mother would do for her child. Once she saw her father while he was in sujood, and `Uqbah ibn Abi Mu`ayt came and placed the guts of a dead animal on the Prophet’s back while he was praying. Fatima ran to her father and removed the filth from his back while she was crying. The Prophet ﷺ saw her crying and said, “Don’t cry my daughter, for indeed Allah will make your father victorious”.
She adopted so many characteristics from her father, that Aisha says, “I have not seen anyone who resembled the Holy Prophet ﷺ more in manners, habits, character and in the method of sitting and standing than Fatimah.” (Tirmidhi)
The Prophet ﷺ had so much love for her that if he were seated and Fatima entered he would get up and kiss her between her eyes, all the time.
When Ali and Fatima got married the Prophet ﷺ was involved in their life. Once the Prophet ﷺ went to visit them and found Fatima at home alone, he asked where Ali was, she told him that they were upset with each other and that Ali had left the house.
The Prophet ﷺ went to look for Ali and found him sleeping in the masjid covered in dust. The Prophet ﷺ woke him while wiping away the dust saying, “Get up the father of dust”. He did not even ask them what they fought about and instead told Ali, “O Ali come back to your home with me”.
Even though Fatima and Ali were poor they still had a happy marriage. The Prophetﷺ would go to visit them and he would hear their laughter from outside. They had four children, Hasan, Hussayn, Muhsin (who died very shortly after birth) and Umm-Kulthoom.
Fatima was only 28 years old when her father died. She went through a very hard time. She entered upon the Prophet ﷺ when he fell ill, but he was unable to get up to kiss her, as he usually does. So she sat to the right of the Prophet ﷺ while she was crying. The Prophet ﷺ said “Bring your ear closer to me O Fatima”, so he whispered something in her ear, and she cried. The Prophet ﷺ again said “Bring your ear closer to me O Fatima” and he whispered something else in her ear, and so she laughed. Aisha later asked her after the death of the Prophet ﷺ, please tell me what he whispered to you, she said, “Firstly he said “O Fatima I am going to die tonight,” and so I cried, and when he saw me crying he said, “will you not be satisfied that you will be the first from amongst my family to follow me and that you will be the leader of the women of Paradise”, and so I laughed”.
Fatimah died six months after the Prophet ﷺ, and she instructed Ali, “When you bury me to cover me properly, I don’t want anyone to see anything of me, and bury me during the night for I am embarrassed from the multitude of people attending.”.
Ali was very upset by her death and cried a lot. He said, “I have never been more exhausted from anything more than I was as a result of the death of the Prophet and Fatimah within six months of each other”.
Fatimah was the highest example of chastity, honour, modesty, and piousness for all Muslim women.
May Allah make us able to follow in her footsteps!
"[They are] men whom neither commerce nor sale distracts from the remembrance of Allah and performance of prayer and giving of zakah. They fear a Day in which hearts and eyes will turn over."
