Shama-il-Tirmidhi

نہ کوئی آپ   صلى الله عليه وسلم   سا ہوگا نہ کوئی آپ   صلى الله عليه وسلم   جیسا تھا

کوئی یوسف ءليه السلام   سے پوچھے مصطفیٰ   صلى الله عليه وسلم  کا حسن کیسا تھا

(Neither will there be one like you   صلى الله عليه وسلم,

nor was there any one like you  صلى الله عليه وسلم

Anyone should rather ask Yousuf ءليه السلام

about the beauty of Mustafa  صلى الله عليه وسلم)

Sunan Shamaa-il of Imam Tirmidhi is a collection on the physical description and character of our beloved Prophet Muhammad (SAW), also known as the sunnah. The reports of the Prophet's sayings and deeds are called ahadith. Imam Tirmidi lived a couple of centuries after the Prophet's death and worked extremely hard to collect his ahadith. Each report in his collection was checked for compatibility with the Qur'an, and the veracity of the chain of reporters had to be painstakingly established.

The Shamaa-il of Imam Tirmidhi has a collection of 397 ahadith and is divided into 55 chapters on the physical description and character of our beloved Prophet (SAW... Sallallahu 'Alayhi Wasallam). It has been printed on numerous occasions and many commentaries have been written on it. The English translation and commentary is of the Khasaa-il Nabawi Sallallahu 'Alayhi Wasallam by Shaykhul Hadith Maulana Muhammad Zakariyya Rahamatullahi 'Alayhi. It will enable a Muslim to achieve a link and connection with the one whom Allah Ta'aala has made as a mercy unto mankind, and most certainly Allah has spoken the truth when He mentions in His Book:

"Verily, you (0 Muhammad) are of a very high (noble) character".

A Muslim can truly claim his love for Prophet(SAW), if he attempts to follow the manner and life-style of the messenger of Islam. We are given such an opportunity, after the reading of this book, for it enlightens the reader with the intimate aspect of the Prophet (Sallallahu Alayhi Wasallam's) life.

As yet, there is no complete translation of Imam Tirmidhi's Jami' in the English language, whereas a complete English translation of Sahih Bukhari was undertaken by Muhammad Muhsin Khan and published in nine volumes in 1971 by the Islamic University of Madina, Saudi Arabia. Likewise the entire Sahih Muslim was rendered into English by 'Abd al-Hamid Siddiqi and published in four volumes in 1976 in Lahore, Pakistan. These are the well known contributions in the field of Hadith by Muslim scholars.

Simply beautiful: Prophet's صلى الله عليه وسلم Dua in Taif

RasuluLLAH's 

 صلى الله عليه وسلم

dua in Taif

 “O Allah! I complain to You of my weakness, scarcity of my resources and the humiliation I have been subjected to by the people. O Most Merciful of those who are merciful. O Lord of the weak and my Lord too. To whom have You entrusted me?

To a distant person who receives me with hostility? Or to an enemy to whom You have granted authority over my affair? So long as You are not angry with me, I do not care. Your favor is of a more expansive relief to me. I seek refuge in the light of Your Face by which all darkness is dispelled and every affair of this world and the next is set right, lest Your anger or Your displeasure descends upon me. I desire Your pleasure and satisfaction until You are pleased.

There is no power and no might except by You.”
