Asalam ualaykum,
1408. Abu Hurairah (R.A.A.) reported: The Messenger of Allah (S.A.W.) said, There are two statements that are light for the tongue to remember, heavy in the Scales and are dear to the Merciful: `Subhan-Allahi wa bihamdihi, Subhan-Allahil-Azim [Glory be to Allah and His is the praise, (and) Allah, the Greatest is free from imperfection]'.
(Bukhari and Muslim)
Commentary: This Hadith affirms that man's actions carry weight. On the Day of Judgement, his actions will be cast into the Balance. At that time Allah will endow these actions with weight, or according to some scholars, those records which register man's actions will be weighed. This is quite possible for the reason that Almighty Allah is Capable of weighing things without even their physical form. This discussion apart, when actions will be cast into the Balance, the formula mentioned in the Hadith, the utterance of which is very easy, will prove weighty. Every Muslim should make it a practice to repeat them frequently.

Hadith of the week
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.

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.

Hadith of the week
Asalam ualaykum,
1240. Abu Hurairah (R.A.A.) reported: The Messenger of Allah (S.A.W.) said, "When any one of you is observing Saum (fasting) on a day, he should neither indulge in obscene language nor should he raise the voice; and if anyone reviles him or tries to quarrel with him he should say: `I am observing fast.'''
(Bukhari and Muslim)
Commentary: We learn from it that during Saum not only food, drink and sex are prohibited but the improper use of the tongue and the other organs of the body as well. When one is observing Saum, he should neither use abusive language nor talk foolishly nor tell lies nor make obscene conversation nor indulge in backbiting nor quarrel with anyone. If someone provokes him, he should keep himself quiet and remember that he is observing Saum and he has to abstain from such things. As far as possible, he should keep his tongue engaged in the remembrance of Allah and recitation of the Qur'an.

Hadith of the week
Asalam ualaykum,
1218. Hazrat Abu Sa’eed Khudri (R.A.A.) reports that the Holy Prophet (S.A.W.) said: when a person fasts for a day, for the sake of Allah, then Allah drives away the Hell from him to a distance of seventy years of traveling.
(Bukhari and Muslim)
Commentary:
This includes men, women, the free and the unfree, because they are slaves of Allah. The Hadith highlights the excellence of fasting for the sake of Allah which will serve, on the Day of Resurrection, as shield against Hell-fire.
