Lesson 8. The Companions, the Sahaba are like stars:

the Prophet Peace be upon him said about Umar Ibn Al Khattab may Allah be pleased with him meaning if there was going to be a prophet after me, it would be Umar and Umar Ibn Al Khattab narrates, the prophet, peace be upon him, said meaning my companions are like stars.

One day after Zuhur salah, as I left the masjid:

A man sitting in the corner said, So you are not going to cut your beard after today, right?

I was 16 and I wanted to grow my beard because the prophet peace be upon him said meaning be different than the polytheists. Grow the beard and trim the mustache. After hearing this sentence, I kept the beard and the reward of my beard goes back to the unknown man in the masjid back to the person who advised him all the way back to the Prophet.

Peace be upon him. You, my dear Muslim brother and my dear Muslim sister. Both of you are a part of this tradition. The tradition of Sunnah, the path of the Prophet. Peace be upon him. So hold on to it. with your molar teeth because the prophet peace be upon him said meaning upon you is my Sunnah and the son of the rightly guided caliphs.

Attach yourself to it with your molar teeth

Here is one select supplication proven from the prophet. Peace be upon him:

O Allah. I beg you to give me all the good things in this world and the next what I know and what I do not know O Allah. I beg you to give me all the good things which your slave and your prophet, peace be upon him, begged you to give him, and I beg you to protect me against all the bad which your slave and your prophet, peace be upon him, begged you to protect him against O Allah.

I beg you for Jannah, And what brings me closer to it from my words and actions. And I beg you to give me refuge from fire and from what may bring me closer to it, from my words and actions. And I beg you to make every decree that you decree about me good. Ameen, may the peace and blessings of Allah be upon Prophet Muhammad, his Aal and his companions. Ameen.

The first Umrah is very special:

Do you know why the prophet peace be upon him said meaning Umrah removes all sins between it and the previous Umrah. Then what about your first Umrah ever? Allah says in the Quran meaning and complete Hajj and Umrah for Allah because of this Ibn Abbas believed Umrah is obligatory like Hajj

Not All Fast Food Is Bad:

However, not all fast food is bad. For example, nuggets have so much protein it may offset the impurity caused by the omega sixes in the seed oil pizza has so much cheese it may offset some of the inflammation caused by the bread and artificial flavorings.

And fried chicken is one of the healthiest fast foods because it has chicken skin which contains omega threes. Omega threes help the body make DHEA. This increases reproductive function. More on this in lesson 41 have as many kids as possible. Some foods wreck the good bacteria in your gut and make you feel anxious, sad, miserly, lazy and timid.

These are: fruits sprayed with preservatives, seed oils, especially when heated above smoking point broken oil inflames the arteries. This puts pressure on the heart, artificial flavors and colors and fermented flours because the body can’t digest gluten, seed oils and breads are the foundation upon which the building of obesity stands.

Some people insist on cooking at home:

While it is easy for them to just get the food, it is easy for you. You should get as much of your food already made as possible. This saves you time and takes the cognitive load off of you, which increases your ability to perform better at work. This positively affects your wealth. This also increases the local economy. If you are a husband, note this make things easy for your family and inshallah, a lot of things will get even better.

Ordering food will get you extra time with your family. Remember? Remember, you cannot buy time.

In your youth health, wealth and free time:

Do as much as possible for Islam. Teach and learn the Quran as the prophet peace. People on him said the best of you are those who learn the Quran and teach it, get married early and have as many kids as possible and raise them upon Islam because the prophet peace be upon him, said marry the fertile and the loving. So I will be proud of your big numbers on Judgment Day.

We All Want More Beauty:

We all want more beauty. It increases our self-esteem, which helps us do bigger things and gets us into quote an upward spiral. Now you should go to a nutritionist and you should eat more omega threes, more protein, more glutathione, and more zinc, which is great for hair strength. It is allowed and recommended to use the means created by Allah to increase your beauty.

However, if you spread Islam, you will get the supplication of the prophet. Peace be upon him.

Allah Will Give You Everything:

There is no living creature. But Allah controls it by its forelock. You want women? Allah controls them. You want sons? Allah gives them. You want wealth? Allah gives wealth. Everyone and everything is under Allah’s control. If Allah favors you, you will have it. But how to get Allah’s favor? Show Him you are loyal to Him.

How to show your loyalty to Allah by worshiping him alone without a partner. This is called, Tawhid
