“Hearts have changed and Islam has erased past covenants”

~Muhammad Ibn Maslamah

“…O Allah, make us love faith and make it adorn our hearts! Make disbelief, rebellion and disobedience detestable to us. Let us be among those who are rightly guided. O Allah, make us live as Muslims and cause us to die as Muslims; and make us join with the righteous but not with the disgraced and misled.…”

If it is feared that any given place will be attacked by the enemy, the Imam (leader) or the inhabitants of the place must protect it. If they are not able to withstand the enemy, it becomes incumbent among those who are closest to them to help them until there are sufficient numbers (or sufficient weaponry) to resist the enemy.

Bilaal ibn Rabaah became one of the callers of prayer in Al-Madeenah;
the other caller was Abdullah ibn Umm Maktoom.

In the call for morning prayer, *Bilaal* added the words,
"The Prayer is better than sleep,"
which he would say twice after saying, "Come to success."
And the Messenger of Allah approved of this practice.
