Celebrate the praises of your Lord before the rising and the setting of the sun; proclaim His praise in the night and at the end of every prayer.
(50: 39-40)
Narrated Abu Dhar RadhiAllahu anhu: The Prophet SallAllahu alaihi wasallam asked me at sunset, "Do you know where the sun goes at the time of sunset?" I replied, "Allah and His Apostle know better." He said, "It goes, travels till it prostrates itself underneath the Throne and takes the permission to rise again, and it is permitted and then a time will come when it will be about to prostrate itself but its prostration will not be accepted, and it will ask permission to go on its course but it will not be permitted, but it will be ordered to return whence it has come and so it will rise in the west. And that is the interpretation of the Statement of Allah:
The sun too, runs its determined course laid down for it by the Almighty, the All-Knowing. (36.38) (Bukhari)
After Maghrib Salat…the small domes decorate the northern side of Haram.
Sisters in the courtyard where a gentle breeze brings relief from the intense heat of the day….the sun already on its way to the Throne, SubhanAllah!
All the architectural features take on so many different qualities according to the time of the day or night.
A celebration of the Muhabbat connecting the Ummah….COOKIES…home made, and carried all the way from the UK by the current neighbours of our Beloved Prophet SallAllahu laihi wasallam….so Yummy! JazakumuLlahu khairan Katheeran!
All good is from Allah Ta’ala whereas mistakes are from this humble speck. May Allah Ta’ala Bless all readers, bringing you all closer to Him and His Rasul SallAllahu alaihi wasallam. May He accept our humble efforts and grant us the capacity to be good and do good. Ameen.
