BISMILLAAHIR RAHMAANIR RAHEEM.
ASSALAMU'ALAIKUM WRWBTH DEAR ILHAM FRIENDS,
' Abdallah bin Salam RA said: " When the Prophet SAWS came to Al-Madinah, the people rushed to meet him, and it was said, ' The Messenger of Allah SAWS has come! The Messenger of Allah SAWS has come! The Messenger of Allah SAWS has come!' three times. I came with the people to see him, and when I saw his face clearly, I knew that his face was not the face of a liar. The first thing that I heard him say was: ' O people! Spread (the greeting of) salam, feed others, uphold the ties of kinship, and pray during the night when people are sleeping, and you will enter Paradise with Salam.' " (Ibn Majah)
It was narrated from 'Abdallah bin 'Amr RA that a man asked the Messenger of Allah SAWS:
" O Messenger of Allah, which (aspect) of Islam is the best?" He (SAWS) replied, " Offering food (to the needy) and greeting with salam those whom you know and those whom you do not know." (Ibn Majah)

FOR THE LOVE OF THE PROPHET (SAWS)
BISMILLAAHIR RAHMAANIR RAHEEM.
ASSALAMU'ALAIKUM WRTBTH, DEAR ILHAM FRIENDS,
Loving and honoring the Sunnah of Prophet Muhammad SAWS is part of our Deen. Yet, we often tend to overlook this fact, the greatness of this unlettered Prophet (SAWS) to whom the Quran was revealed. For our worldly lives we owe gratitude to our parents, and for the attainment of our eternal lives we owe deep gratitude to Prophet Muhammad SAWS. The following are reminders from the Creator of the Heavens and of the Earth of this fact:
1. " Take what the Messenger has brought to you and refrain from what he has forbidden you."
(59:7)
2. " You have in the messenger of God a good example for whoever has hope in God and the Last Day and remembers God in abundance." (33:21)
3. " The one who obeys the Messenger obeys God." (4:80)
4. " Those who give allegiance to you are giving allegiance to God." (48:10)
5. " Say { O Muhammad}, " If you love God, follow me and God will love you and forgive your sins; God is Forgiving, Compassionate." (3:31)
6. " Let those who contravene his commands beware lest they become afflicted or stricken by a painful torment." (24:63)
May Allah azza wajal forgives our sins, allow us to follow the sunnah of our beloved Prophet SAWS, and remain steadfast on His Path.
