A
ALLAHU AKBAR : الله اكبر
This statement is said by Muslims numerous times. During the call for prayer, during prayer, when they are happy, and wish to express their approval of what they hear, when they slaughter an animal, and when they want to praise a speaker, Muslims do say this expression of Allahu Akbar. Actually it is most said expression in the world. It’s meaning: “Allah is the Greatest.” Muslims praise Allah in every aspect of life; and as such they say Allahu Akbar.
ALLAH; Praise to Him in His Highness

------------------------
Here present two references that testify to the fact that Abu Talib uttered the credo of Islam before his death.
ABU UBAIDAH –ibn al-Jarrah
One of the companions, who was with the Prophet in all his wars, and distinguished himself at the battle of Uhad. He was highly esteemed by Mohammed, who made him are of the ‘Asharah –al –Mubashsharah’,or ten patriarchs of the Muslim faith. He died AH 18, aged 58.
He was extremely courteous and humble and quite shy. Yet in a tough situation he would become strikingly serious and alert. He was given the title Amin or Custodian of Muhammad's community (Ummah). `Abd Allah ibn `Umar once said about him:
ADAM
The first man and the first Prophet, to whom ten portions of scripture (Sahifah) to have revealed. He distinguished by the title of Safiya’llah, or the ‘chosen one of God’.
---------------------------------------
Allah the Almighty revealed: Remember when your Lord said to the angels: 'Verily, I am going to place mankind generations after generations on earth.' They said: 'Will You place therein those who will make mischief therein and shed blood, while we glorify You with praises and thanks (exalted be You above all that they associate with You as partners) and sanctify You.' Allah said: 'I know that which you do not know.'

How could all these qualities be demonstrated in one individual? Indeed, when we speak of Ali, son of Abu Talib, cousin and son-in-law of Prophet Muhammad (pbuh), all these and more can be said of him.

Ibn Ishaq says that while dying Abu Talib’s lips were in motion. Abbas
who was an unbeliever till then put his ear to the lips and then said to
the Prophet that he was reciting the KALIMA the Prophet had wanted of
him.
- Ibn Hisham, Cairo Edition, p 146 (as quoted by Shibli Numani) A similar tradition is as follows ...
Abu Talib moved his lips as he was about to die. Abbas then heard what he uttered, and he said to the Prophet that Abu Talib had uttered the KALIMA that was required by you.

garments when compared to some of the other sahaba (companions of

His words-
'Encourage and instruct each other to do good actions'
'Be careful that you perform your duties and not be lost in worldly pursuits'
In Abu Ubaidah bin Al-Jarrah ’s (RA) last days, he made the following statement :
‘Even if a man gets to live a thousand years, one day he will be in the same position in which you see me today, no one can escape death.’

How could all these qualities be demonstrated in one individual? Indeed, when we speak of Ali, son of Abu Talib, cousin and son-in-law of Prophet Muhammad (pbuh), all these and more can be said of him.
As the youngest son of Abu Talib's large family, Ali was brought up by
the Prophet himself. The Prophet's (pbuh) tutelage from early childhood
helped cultivate these extraordinary qualities in him., Ali is known as
the first child to accept Islam and was so well respected and admired by
the Prophet that he married the most beloved daughter of the Prophet,
the beautiful Fatimah, when she was 18 and Ali was 21 and had by her
three sons, Hassan, Hussain, Muhassin. He was the fourth Khalifah and
reigned from AH 35 to AH 40.
They lived a simple and humble life together. Ali earned his living with manual labor and they lived simply and most frugally. Faced with extreme poverty, they exhibited humanitarianism, charity, self-sacrifice, and self-denial almost unparalleled in the history of Islam. They preferred to go without their meager meals, albeit they were fasting for three days, rather than refuse beggars at their door.
Ali was so well loved and respected by the Holy Prophet (pbuh) that he was chosen to carry the message of Islam to the people of Yemen, where earlier Muslim missionaries had failed. It is said that due to his extreme grace, eloquence, intelligence, and persuasion, the tribe of Hamdan embraced Islam immediately. He was able to popularize Islam in many beforehand hostile regions. He was struck with a poisoned sword by Ibu Maljam at Al Kufah, and died after three days, aged fifty nine years.

Al-A'raf
is one of the most detailing Surah about the origins of creation and
revealing prophecies about the judgment day, it starts by telling us how
Satan made our ancestors Adam and Eve to leave heaven and all of the
three came down to earth and from that point Satan became the number one
enemy for humanity, and how he refused to obey God and asked him to
keep him alive to show him the vulnerability of this new creature the
Human being, the Surah then starts by telling us how Satan misled
thousands of populations over time and gives us examples of some
prophets who suffered in order to gain their lost companions to the
right path.
Then the Surah says that every community or people that will come on earth will think that they are better than those before and thus better the examples cited above, but in fact those who will not believe in God, or got misled by Satan from the right path will have the same punishment, Hell, and people have to pay attention because Satan and his people can see you but you can't.
It also reveals that prophecies about the coming of Muhammad were present in the Jewish law and Gospel.7:157

Al-ISRA & Al-MI'RAJ
(The night journey and the ascension of Prophet Muhammad صلى الله عليه وسلم )
Isra and Mi'raj, also known as Al Isra' wal Miraj, is observed on the 27th day of the month of Rajab, the seventh month in the Islamic calendar. This event marks the night that Allah (God) took Mohammad (صلى الله عليه وسلم ) on a journey from Mecca to Jerusalem and then to heaven.

AQEEDAH / AQEEDA
The
Arabic word ‘aqeedah stems from the root ‘aqada, which conveys meanings
of certainty, affirmation, confirmation, etc. In the Qur’aan, Allaah
says (interpretation of the meaning):"Allaah will not punish you for
what is unintentional in your oaths, but He will punish you for your
deliberate oaths (al-Maa’idah 5:87)
Aqeedah refers to those matters which are believed in, with certainty and conviction, in one’s heart and soul.
ARAFAT or ARAFAH
Aqeedah refers to those matters which are believed in, with certainty and conviction, in one’s heart and soul.
Correct Aqeeda is the most important thing in Islam. It is what a
person takes as a religion. It is said, 'he has a good Aqeedah' meaning,
having right beliefs. Aqeedah is an action of the heart, which is to
believe and affirm something in the heart. It is also called as Iman or
articles of Iman or Article of faith.
As Aqeedah is most important part of Islam and of a Muslim life, it has been dealt very clearly in quranic Ayats and ahadith.
Six Articles of Faith
There are six basic Aqeeda or article of faith (Iman) and these are to believe in
1. Allah, 2.His angels, 3.His Books, 4.His Messengers, 5.In coming to life after death (resurrection) the Day of Judgment, 6. And in that the fate good and bad is predetermined by Allah (Some books have separated life after death and Day of Judgment as separate number and it makes total number to seven)
These six articles of belief has been described in clear words in Quranic Ayats and has been sum up in the Hadith of Jibraeel that is in Bukhari and Muslim shareef both.

ARAFAT or ARAFAH
The “Mount of Recognition” situated twelve miles from Makkah; the
place where the pilgrims stay on the ninth day of the pilgrimage and
recite the mid-day and after-noon prayers, and hear the Khutbah or
Sermon. Hence, it is a name given to the ninth day of the month
Zul-hijjah The ninth day of Dhul-Hijjah (the 12th and final month
of the Islamic calendar) is the Day of 'Arafah. It is the day when
pilgrims stand on the plain of 'Arafah to pray.
On this day, Muslims all over the world who do not witness the annual
Hajj should spend the day in fasting, in preparation for the three days
festivity following 'Eid ul-Adha (the celebration marking the end of the
Hajj commemorating the Prophet Ibrahim's willingness of sacrifice).
Muslims believe that angels are spiritual beings who perform special tasks. Islam teaches that angels, calledal-malaikah in Arabic, were created by Allah to worship Him and to carry out special duties both in heavenly and earthly life. Belief in these angels is an important aspect of a Muslim's faith, just as it is in Judeo-Christian tradition. Muslims know the names and responsibilities of some angels.
1-Hafazas (Guardian angels) - In the Quran, it says, “For each (person), there are angels in succession, before and behind him. They guard him by the Command of Allah." (Quran 13:10). Each person is assigned with four Hafazas, two of which keep watch during the day and two during the night They will be used to determine if the person is worthy of admission into Jannah (paradise).
2-Raqib and Atid, (Kiraman Katibin ie Honorable Scribes)- In addition, two guardian angels are assigned to each person to record all deeds from the age of puberty on. "(Remember) that the two receivers (recording angels) receive (each human being), one sitting on the right and one on the left (to note his or her actions. Not a word does he (or she) utter but there is a watcher by him ready (to record it)." (Qur'an 50:16-18) In another verse (85:11), these angels are referred to as Kiraman Katibin, or "honorable scribes."
3-Jibreel (Gabriel) - bJibreel has the highest status of all angels. He is Allah's messenger to the prophets, sometimes taking the form of a man. Many Muslim scholars conclude that Jibreel is the Holy Spirit (Ruh al-Qudus and Ruh al-Ameen) mentioned in various verses of the Qur'an.
4-Mika'el (Michael) - Mika'el is one of Allah's most distinguished angels. He is charged with providing rain and sustenance for all creatures.
5-Israfil (Raphael) - Another angel with very high status in Islam, he's charged with blowing the trumpet on the Day of Judgment.
6-Malak al-Maut (The Angel of Death) - Malak al-Maut is Arabic for "The Angel of Death." He and his helpers are responsible for taking souls at their predestined times. Although some texts claim the Angel of Death's actual name is Izrael (Azrael), this is not confirmed by either the Qur'an or hadith.
7-Malik (Keeper of Hell) - The Qur'an teaches that 19 angels are assigned to guard the Hell fire. Among them, Malik has highest rank'
8-Ridwan (Keeper of Paradise) - Ridwan stands guard over Heaven. By Allah's permission, he and other angels will welcome believers into Paradise.
9-Munkar and Nakeer (Questioners of the Grave) - After death, these two angels question souls in the grave about their faith and their deeds.
10-Harut and Marut (Angels of Babylon) -The Qur'an (2:102) relates an account of two angels named Harut and Marut who were sent to the people of Babylon to test their faith by teaching them black magic. Although black magic is strictly forbidden in Islam, some Babylonians chose sorcery over obedience to Allah.
AMAL-NAMAH
The Persian word for Sahifatu’l’Amail or record of actions kept by the recording angels. These angels are referred to as Kiraman and Katibin, or "honorable scribes."
AQIQAH
A custom observed in Islam on the birth of a child; namely, leaving the hair on the infants head until the seventh day, when it is shaved, animals are sacrificed, namely, two sheep for a boy and one for a girl.
In Islamic terminology Aqiqah is defined as sacrifice of an animal which is held after the child is born. The word aqiqah comes from the Arabic word 'aq which means to cut. Some attribute this to the child's first haircut, while others say that it refers to the slaughtering of the animal to provide meat for the meal.Pronunciation: ah-kee-ka
After the birth of a child, Muslim parents often host the aqiqah, or welcoming celebration, at their home or a community center. Being bestowed a child is a great blessing from the Creator. Another purpose is inviting family members, neighbors, and friends to celebrate the blessed occasion. The poor should be included in the celebration by offering them food and meat served on this There is no religious consequence for not holding an aqiqah; it is a "sunnah" tradition but is not required.
ARSH
The term used in the Quran for the throne of God. Surah ix(131).
ASHURA
(also spelled Aashurah, ‘Ashurah or Aashoorah), The word Ashura means "10," "the tenth" A voluntary fast day, observed on the tenth of the month of Muharram it is related that Prophet Muhammad'(صلى الله عليه و آله وسلم)observed it, and said it was a day respected by Jews and Christians (Mishkat. vii. vol. I.)
Shortly after the Hijira in AD 622, Prophet Muhammad'(صلى الله عليه و آله وسلم) designated Ashura as a day of fasting from sunset to sunset, perhaps patterned on the Jewish Day of Atonement (Yom Kippur).
ASIYAH
The Prophet Muhammad is said to have mentioned her one of the four righteous and greatest women of all time and in Islamic tradition.The wife of Fir’awn (Pharaoh), she was married to one of the most evil men in history, but never lost his faith in God and remained steadfast in prayer and belief. She is mentioned in the Quran ( Surah lxvi,11 ).
ASHARAH MUBASHSHARAH
Promised Paradise -"The ten who received glad tidings." Ten of the most distinguished of Prophet Muhammad's(صلى الله عليه و آله وسلم). followers, whose certain entrance into Paradise he is said to have foretold. They are Abu Bakr,' 'Umar, Usman, 'Ali, Talhah, az-Zubair'.Abdu 'r-Rahman, Sa'd-ibn- Abu-Waqqas, Sa'id ibn Zaid, Abu 'Ubaidah ibn al-Jarrih. (Mishkat, book xxiv. c. xx., part ii.) Prophet Muhammad (صلى الله عليه و آله وسلم )declared it presumption for anyone to count upon an entrance into heaven with absolute certainty, but he made an exception in favour of these ten distinguished persons. (al-Tirmithi, Hadith 3747 ; al-Tirmithi, under 3748; al-Tirmithi, Volume 5, Page 605, Hadith 3748)
ASSALAAMU ALAIKUM
: السلام عليكم
“Assalamu Alaikum” (peace be upon you.)
This is an expression Muslims say whenever they meet one another. It is a statement of greeting with peace. The meaning of it is: “Peace be upon you
.”
The other forms are: “Assalamu ‘Alalikum Wa Rahmatullah,” which means:”May the peace and the Mercy of Allah be upon you,” and “Assalamu Alalikum Wa Rahmatullahi Wa Barakatuh,” which means:”May the peace, the mercy, and the blessings of Allah be upon you."
When we say As-Salaamuilakum we are making Dua. Yes it’s a

AUZUBILLAHI MINASH SHAITAN IR RAJEEM
اعوذ بالله من الشيطان الرجيم
"I seek protection from God against the Devil"
This is an expression and a statement that Muslims have to recite before reading to Qur’an, before speaking, before doing any work, before making a supplication, before taking ablution, before entering the wash room, and before doing many other daily activities. The meaning of this phrase is: “I seek refuge from Allah from the outcast Satan.” Allah is the Arabic name of God.
Satan is the source of evil and he always tries to misguide and mislead people. The Qur’an states that Satan is not an angel but a member of the Jinn, which are spiritual beings created by Allah. So the belief that Satan is a fallen angel is rejected in Islam.
It's a kind of prayer where you ask God to empower you to start and do something successfully without the devil attempt to mess it up to yeild opposite results.

Al-MALAIKAH (Angels in Islam) ARSH
The term used in the Quran for the throne of God. Surah ix(131).
Muslims believe that angels are spiritual beings who perform special tasks. Islam teaches that angels, calledal-malaikah in Arabic, were created by Allah to worship Him and to carry out special duties both in heavenly and earthly life. Belief in these angels is an important aspect of a Muslim's faith, just as it is in Judeo-Christian tradition. Muslims know the names and responsibilities of some angels.
1-Hafazas (Guardian angels) - In the Quran, it says, “For each (person), there are angels in succession, before and behind him. They guard him by the Command of Allah." (Quran 13:10). Each person is assigned with four Hafazas, two of which keep watch during the day and two during the night They will be used to determine if the person is worthy of admission into Jannah (paradise).
2-Raqib and Atid, (Kiraman Katibin ie Honorable Scribes)- In addition, two guardian angels are assigned to each person to record all deeds from the age of puberty on. "(Remember) that the two receivers (recording angels) receive (each human being), one sitting on the right and one on the left (to note his or her actions. Not a word does he (or she) utter but there is a watcher by him ready (to record it)." (Qur'an 50:16-18) In another verse (85:11), these angels are referred to as Kiraman Katibin, or "honorable scribes."
3-Jibreel (Gabriel) - bJibreel has the highest status of all angels. He is Allah's messenger to the prophets, sometimes taking the form of a man. Many Muslim scholars conclude that Jibreel is the Holy Spirit (Ruh al-Qudus and Ruh al-Ameen) mentioned in various verses of the Qur'an.
4-Mika'el (Michael) - Mika'el is one of Allah's most distinguished angels. He is charged with providing rain and sustenance for all creatures.
5-Israfil (Raphael) - Another angel with very high status in Islam, he's charged with blowing the trumpet on the Day of Judgment.
6-Malak al-Maut (The Angel of Death) - Malak al-Maut is Arabic for "The Angel of Death." He and his helpers are responsible for taking souls at their predestined times. Although some texts claim the Angel of Death's actual name is Izrael (Azrael), this is not confirmed by either the Qur'an or hadith.
7-Malik (Keeper of Hell) - The Qur'an teaches that 19 angels are assigned to guard the Hell fire. Among them, Malik has highest rank'
8-Ridwan (Keeper of Paradise) - Ridwan stands guard over Heaven. By Allah's permission, he and other angels will welcome believers into Paradise.
9-Munkar and Nakeer (Questioners of the Grave) - After death, these two angels question souls in the grave about their faith and their deeds.
10-Harut and Marut (Angels of Babylon) -The Qur'an (2:102) relates an account of two angels named Harut and Marut who were sent to the people of Babylon to test their faith by teaching them black magic. Although black magic is strictly forbidden in Islam, some Babylonians chose sorcery over obedience to Allah.
AMAL-NAMAH
The Persian word for Sahifatu’l’Amail or record of actions kept by the recording angels. These angels are referred to as Kiraman and Katibin, or "honorable scribes."
AQIQAH
A custom observed in Islam on the birth of a child; namely, leaving the hair on the infants head until the seventh day, when it is shaved, animals are sacrificed, namely, two sheep for a boy and one for a girl.
In Islamic terminology Aqiqah is defined as sacrifice of an animal which is held after the child is born. The word aqiqah comes from the Arabic word 'aq which means to cut. Some attribute this to the child's first haircut, while others say that it refers to the slaughtering of the animal to provide meat for the meal.Pronunciation: ah-kee-ka
After the birth of a child, Muslim parents often host the aqiqah, or welcoming celebration, at their home or a community center. Being bestowed a child is a great blessing from the Creator. Another purpose is inviting family members, neighbors, and friends to celebrate the blessed occasion. The poor should be included in the celebration by offering them food and meat served on this There is no religious consequence for not holding an aqiqah; it is a "sunnah" tradition but is not required.
The
preferable method for Aqiqah is that it should be preformed on the
seventh day if not then the 14th or 21st and so on. Some scholars have
said that this can be carried on till the child has become mature and
say Aqiqah can be performed then. However after this period performing
Aqiqah is irrelevant. Some scholars given the Fatwa that Aqiqah is valid
till the day of ones death. If someone after becoming an adult performs
his own Aqiqah, according to some scholars it is not valid but
according to some scholars it’s permissible as it is also understood
form Fadhul Bari.
The condition of the animals in Aqiqah is the same as the conditions for the animals in Qurbani. The animals to be slaughtered must be a goats, cows or camels. For camels, it must be older than 6 years, for cows the age must be older than 3 years and for goats, it must be older than 2 years. They must be free from any form of handicap such as being blind, sick, limp or undernourished. The animals must be slaughtered in the appropriate humane ways.One third of the meat is given away to the poor, and the rest is served in a large community meal with relatives, friends, and neighbors.
In addition to prayers and well-wishes for the baby, the aqiqah is also a time when the child's hair is first cut or shaved, and its weight in gold or silver is given as a donation to the poor.

(also spelled Aashurah, ‘Ashurah or Aashoorah), The word Ashura means "10," "the tenth" A voluntary fast day, observed on the tenth of the month of Muharram it is related that Prophet Muhammad'(صلى الله عليه و آله وسلم)observed it, and said it was a day respected by Jews and Christians (Mishkat. vii. vol. I.)
Shortly after the Hijira in AD 622, Prophet Muhammad'(صلى الله عليه و آله وسلم) designated Ashura as a day of fasting from sunset to sunset, perhaps patterned on the Jewish Day of Atonement (Yom Kippur).
Traditionally, Ashura commemorates two events: the day Nuh(عليه السلام)
(Noah) left the ark and the day Musa(عليه السلام) (Moses) was saved
from the Egyptians by Allah.
Among Shi'ites, however, Ashura is a major festival, the tazia (ta'ziyah). It commemorates the death of Husayn(RA) (also spelled Hussein), son of Imam 'Ali (RA)and grandson of Prophet Muhammad'(صلى الله عليه و آله وسلم), on the 10th of Muharram, AH 61 (October 10, 680), in Karbala, Iraq.

The words of AZAN are as follows:
Allâhu Akbar "Allah is the Greatest" (4 times)
Ashhadu an lâ ilâha illallah
"I attest that there is no god but Allah" (twice)
Ashhadu anna Muhammadan Rasûlullâh
"I attest that Muhammad is the messenger of Allah" (twice)
Hayya ala's-salâh "Come to prayer" (twice)
Hayya ala'1-falâf "Come to salvation" (twice)
Allâhu Akbar "Allah is the Greatest" (twice)

The AZAN for the dawn (early morning) prayer includes as-salatu khayrun minan-nawm (Prayer is better than sleep [twice]) after hayya alal-falah (Come on, to salvation). Gods Messenger highly recommends that we pray after making the AZAN.
