……….﷽………. اَلسَّلاَمْ عَلَيْــــــــــــــــــــكُمْ وَرَحْمَةُ اللّٰه وَبَرَكَاتُهُ 5 Ramadhan 1445 15 March 2024 Friday يوم الجمعة
Hadhrat Abu Hurayrah رضى الله تعالى عنه narrates that the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) said: I take an oath by that Being (ALLAH TA’ALA), in whose control is the life of Muhammed (صلى الله تعالى عليه وسلم), that the smell that emanates from the mouth of a fasting person, is more fragrant to ALLAH TA’ALA, than the fragrance of musk.
(Bukhari/Muslim)
There are various interpretations for the above.
1. The smell is more fragrant to ALLAH TA’ALA, than the smell of musk is to another person.
2. Just as a person is attracted to fragrance, and draws it closer to him, ALLAH TA’ALA draws a fasting person close to Him.
3. A fasting persons reward in the hereafter, will be superior to the smell of musk.
4. In the hereafter, ALLAH TA’ALA will reward a person to such an extent that his breath will be more fragrant than musk.
5. His fragrance is worthy of greater reward than that of musk.
Today being the blessed day of Friday, let us recite Surah Kahf and excessive salawaat/durood on Nabee صلى الله عليه وسلم.
صلى الله عليه وسلم صلى الله عليه وسلم صلى الله عليه وسلم
