  I left this comment as a continuous act of charity for me after my death. Whoever passes by here, let them seek forgiveness from God. I also left a piece of information I learned, and may it benefit whoever reads it.<br><br>O God, forgive everyone who reads it and all Muslims. May God reward you all with goodness. 💚<br><br>The virtue of praying in congregation (Isha and Fajr): <br><br>&apos;Uthman bin &apos;Affan (May Allah be pleased with him) reported:<br>I heard the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) saying: &quot;One who performs &apos;Isha&apos; prayer in congregation, is as if he has performed Salat for half of the night. And one who performs the Fajr prayer in congregation, is as if he has performed Salat the whole night.&quot; [Muslim: 656]

  Summary:<br>-Fatimah Bint Zaida Bint Qais(mother of Khadijah ra)is the sister of Abdullah&apos;s father and his mother was Atiqa ibn Abdullah Al-Makhzoomiya.<br>-He was the only companion who was born blind and became a Muslim very early on.<br>-The Prophet PBUH meets with some of the leaders of the Quraysh [Utbah ibn Rabi&apos;e, Shayba,Ummaya Bint Khalaf, Abu Jahl, Al Waleed ibn Mughirah] to give them dawah.<br>-Abdullah came running to the Prophet PBUH and shouted &apos;Ya Muhammad! Teach me from what Allah has taught you.&apos; The Prophet PBUH didn&apos;t say go away but rather he felt frustrated(moved his two eyebrows close to each other) and continued his dawah to the leaders.<br>-Allah revealed the first 16 ayats of Surah Abasa for this incident, admonishing the Prophet PBUH(not humiliating him).<br>-It&apos;s a noble thing that we do dawah to the leaders but remember, don&apos;t betray your principles to do dawah to them, in the name of dawah.<br>- Everyone in the meeting died in the Battle of Badr except Al Waleed(who died before Hijra).<br>-Al Barah said &quot;First two people to come to us in Madinah were Mus&apos;ab ibn Umar and Abdullah.&quot;<br>-Abdullah was not able to fight in the battles because he was a physically challenged person, so he made this dua &quot;O Allah! Reveal my excuse.&quot; So Allah revealed this ayat: &quot;Not equal are those of the believers who sit (at home), except those who are disabled and those who strive hard and fight in the cause of Allâh with their wealth and their lives&quot; (4:95)<br>-Two famous muadhin of the Prophet PBUH were Bilal and Abdullah.<br>-Abdullah, even though he wasn&apos;t able to see the sky, used to give the call to Fajr prayer when someone used to say &apos;&apos;It&apos;s out!&quot;.<br>-Prophet PBUH appointed Ibn Umm Maktum to lead the people in prayer.<br>-The Prophet PBUH appointed Abdullah 13 times as incharge of Madinah in his PBUH absence.<br>-Once Umm Salamah and Maimoonah RA didn&apos;t put on their hijab when Abdullah came, so Prophet PBUH told them to do so, they said &quot;Isn’t he blind&quot;, Prophet PBUH said &quot; Are you both unable to see as well?&quot;. They said &quot;No.&quot;<br>-Fatimah Bint Qais(divorced Abdullah)was told by the Prophet PBUH that u can remove your hijab in front of him.<br>-Prophet&apos;s wives were special so they were told to do so.<br>-We should also honour Abdullah as Aishah ra also did so. <br>-Abdullah comes to Umar RA to let him go in the Battle of al-Qadisiyah which is against the persian empire to teach the Quran and lead the muslim soldiers in Qiyam ul Layl.<br>-Abdullah in the battle of Qadisiyah holds the banner of the Muslims, wearing armor to protect himself. At the end of the battle, he was laying down with the flag clutched to his chest.<br>-Remember eyes are not blind, it&apos;s the hearts that are blind.

  I love these kinds of stories. They really humanize the Prophet (pbuh). They remind us that he was human too, despite the protection from major sin he enjoyed.

  I’ve always seen this series come up to my feed but never really watched one of those beautiful stories until very recently, after a couple of videos I’ve fallen in love with this series, it really gets us to know more about our past as muslims. JazakAllah khayr Dr Omar, may Allah reward you and your team for this beautiful community and institute that you’ve built. 🤲🏽❤️
