Asalam ualaykum,
1381. Abu Hurairah (R.A.A.) reported: The Messenger of Allah (S.A.W.) said, "Allah makes the way to Jannah easy for him who treads the path in search of knowledge."
(Muslim)
Commentary: In this Hadith, knowledge means the knowledge of the religion, that is to say the correct knowledge of the Qur'an and Hadith which is acquired without any prejudice of any juristic school. Otherwise juristic prejudice can turn knowledge into great obstruction. May Allah bestow His Mercy on us.

Hadith of the week
Asalam ualaykum,
1254. Hazrat Abu Ayub (R.A.A.) states that the Holy Prophet (S.A.W.) said: One who observes the fast throughout the month of Ramadhan then followed by fasting on the six days of Shawwal, is as good as if he observed the fast throughout the Year.
(Muslim)
Commentary: He who makes it a permanent feature is like one who observes Saum throughout his life. Allah will consider him as one who observes Saum permanently. Although voluntary in nature, they are highly important. One can observe these six-day Saum at a stretch or with intervals, but their observance one after the other at the beginning of the month is better. Similarly, if a person has missed some Saum of Ramadan due to illness, travelling etc., he should first make up the shortfall and then observe the voluntary six-day Saum of Shawwal.

NOTE: The hadith mentioned here is completely identical with Riyadh-Us Saleheen.
**Send/Tell this to people, so as one ummah, we may benefit. Insha'Allah.

Hadith of the week
Asalam ualaykum,
1223. Ayesha (R.A.A.) reported: When the last ten nights (of Ramadan) would begin, the Messenger of Allah (S.A.W.) would keep awake at night (for prayer and devotion), awaken his family and prepare himself to be more diligent in worship.
(Bukhari and Muslim)
Commentary: The entire month of Ramadan is a spring season for virtues, worship and obedience of Allah, but its last ten days are the peak of this season of worship. Therefore, one must strive hard in the last ten days and nights of this month to follow the practice of the Prophet (S.A.W.), to seek the Pleasure of Allah and to attain the benefits of Lailat-ul-Qadr, which occurs during this period. The Prophet (S.A.W.) used to make special arrangement for observing I`tikaf, and we must also follow this practice of his.
