This is the of my Allah.

"This is the of my Allah, this is the of my Allah."
The aforesaid contains briefly the spirit of the requirements of decorum as written in great detail by the Muslim scholars. It will further be explained in the following paragraph. In short, a Muslim should read the book of Allah not just as a servant, but as a slave in the spirit of complete humiliy toeards his Lord, Master and Benefactor. The Safia (Plural of Sufi-mystic) have written that, if a person feels his shortcomings in exercising due respect and reverence while reciting the Qur'an, he will continue to progress along the path of nearness to Almighty Allah but a person who regards himself with approval or pride will not advance further.

A Woman Dies On Seeing the Prophet's Grave.

A Woman came to Aishah (Radhiyallaho anha) and said:"Take me to the grave of the Prophet (Sallallaho alaihe wasallam),so that I may be blessed with its sight." Aishah (Radhiyallaho anha)opened the room that contained the grave of the Prophet (Sallallaho alaihe wasallam) and let her go inside.The woman on seeing the grave started crving in love and memory of the Prophet.In fact she wept so bitterly and incessantly that she swooned and expired there and then (May Allah bless her).The blessed lady recollected the happy days when the Prophet (Sallallaho alaihe wasallam) was alive, and then the pangs of separation proved fatal for her.Can the annals of history produce a parallel to such love and devotion?

Anas bin Nadhr's (Radhiyallaho anho) Martyrdom in Uhud.

When the Muslims were faceing defeat in Uhud,somebody started the rumour that the Prophet(Sallallaho alaihe wasallam) had been killed.You can imagine the Sahabah's grief and anguish over this tragic news. This, quite naturally, caused most of them to lose heart in despair. Anas bin Nadhr (Radhiyallaho anho) happened to see 'Umar and Talhah (Radhiyallaho anhuma) with a group of Muslims in a state of utter bewilderment. He said to them:"Why am I seeing you all so bewildered?" They said: "The Prophet(Sallallaho alaihe wasallam) is slain." Anas (Radhiyallaho anho) exclaimed:" Then who will like to after him? Come, let us go forward with our swords and join our dear Prophet." No sooner did he utter these words than he plunged into the enemy lines and fought till he was martyred. In fact,Anas (Radhiyallaho anho) had such an extreme love for the Prophet(Sallallaho alaihe wasallam) that he did not consider this life worth living without him.

During the battle of Uhud, when at cne time the Prophet (Sallallaho alaihe wasallam) was fiercely attacked by the enemy and tow links of the helmet worn by him were struck deep into his head (or face).

By the time one of the links was out, he had lost one of his teeth. Without minding this, he again used his teeth to pull up the other link as well. He succeeded in taking out that one too, but he had to lose another tooth in the effort. When the links were drawn out, the blood begain to ooze out from the Prophet's body. Malik bin Sinaan (Radhiyallaho anho), the father of Abu Sa'eed Khudri (Radhiyallaho anho), licked the blood with his lips. At this, the Prophet (Sallallaho alaihe wasallam) remarked:
