Anas (May Allah be pleased with him) reported that he passed by some children and greeted them. Then he said: “Messenger of Allah (sal Allahu alayhi wa sallam) used to do the same.” [Al-Bukhari and Muslim]

Bismillah
One of the greatest aspects of Islam is that Allah subhanahu wa ta’ala has not only sent us guidance in the form of a text, but also guidance in the form of people. It is from the sunnah(way) of Allah that He sends men that He has chosen to mankind to guide them and teach them, and [...]
Bismillah
Al-Hafidh ibn Rajab al-Hanbali (rahimahullah) listed five specific Sunnan from the Prophet sal Allahu alayhi wa sallam in relation to the last ten nights of Ramadan. Of these specific Sunnan (plural of sunnah):

The study of hadeeth is one of the most noble sciences in Islam. The precision of this science, and the scholars who perfected it, is amazing and is not found in any other science–secular or Islamic. The sciences of hadeeth may be the most disputed science in Islam, simply because people do not understand the [...]
Bismillah
The saying of the Messenger sal Allahu alayhi wa sallam:
“Indeed there is a tree that does not shed its leaves, it resembles a Muslim. So tell me, which is it?”
Bismillah
He came during a time of darkness and spread, by the will of Allah, light upon the land.
Fast forward 1,429 years later, and here we are with hardly any knowledge of him sal Allahu alayhi wa sallam. We have lost our chance to be with the Prophet sal Allahu alayhi wa sallam in this dunya, [...]
