Avoid Spreading In-Authentic Hadeeth

 It was narrated from Abu Hurayrah (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said, “Whoever deliberately tells a lie about me, let him take his place in Hell.” (Agreed upon; muttafaqun alayh). The Imaam, Al-Nawawi, may Allah have mercy on him) said, "It is haram (impermissible) to narrate a fabricated hadeeth for one who knows or thinks that it is most likely fabricated. Whoever narrates the hadeeth, knowing or thinking that it is most likely fabricated, and does not explain the facts about its narration and that it is weak, is included in this warning and comes under the heading of the liars who tell lies about the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him). This is also indicated by the previous hadeeth, 'Whoever deliberately tells a lie about me, let him take his place in Hell.' "

Invoking ALLAH for protection as done in the authenticated Sunnah of the Prophet, Peace be upon him

Reciting the last two verses of Soorat al-Baqarah (2: 285-286) every night:

ءَامَنَ ٱلرَّسُولُ بِمَآ أُنزِلَ إِلَيْهِ مِن رَّبِّهِۦ وَٱلْمُؤْمِنُونَ ۚ كُلٌّ ءَامَنَ بِٱللَّهِ وَمَلَٰٓئِكَتِهِۦ وَكُتُبِهِۦ وَرُسُلِهِۦ لَا نُفَرِّقُ بَيْنَ أَحَدٍ مِّن رُّسُلِهِۦ ۚ وَقَالُوا۟ سَمِعْنَا وَأَطَعْنَا ۖ غُفْرَانَكَ رَبَّنَا وَإِلَيْكَ ٱلْمَصِيرُ

(285)

لَا يُكَلِّفُ اللَّهُ نَفْسًا إِلَّا وُسْعَهَا ۚ لَهَا مَا كَسَبَتْ وَعَلَيْهَا مَا اكْتَسَبَتْ ۗ رَبَّنَا لَا تُؤَاخِذْنَا إِنْ نَسِينَا أَوْ أَخْطَأْنَا ۚ رَبَّنَا وَلَا تَحْمِلْ عَلَيْنَا إِصْرًا كَمَا حَمَلْتَهُ عَلَى الَّذِينَ مِنْ قَبْلِنَا ۚ رَبَّنَا وَلَا تُحَمِّلْنَا مَا لَا طَاقَةَ لَنَا بِهِ ۖ وَاعْفُ عَنَّا وَاغْفِرْ لَنَا وَارْحَمْنَا ۚ أَنْتَ مَوْلَانَا فَانْصُرْنَا عَلَى الْقَوْمِ الْكَافِرِينَ

(286)

It was narrated that Abu Mas’ood al-Badri (may Allaah be pleased with him) said: The Messenger of Allaah (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said: “The last two verses of Soorat al-Baqarah, whoever recites them at night, they will be sufficient for him.” Narrated by al-Bukhaari, 4008; Muslim, 807. Imaam al-Nawawi (may Allaah have mercy on him) said: “With regard to the words of the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) ‘they will be sufficient for him,’ it was said that it means they will suffice instead of praying qiyaam al-layl; and it was said, they will suffice him against the Shaytaan, or against harm. It may be understood as meaning all of these things.’” 

Du’aa’ al-karb (prayer at times of stress). It was narrated from Ibn ‘Abbaas that the Messenger of Allaah (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) used to say at times of stress:

لا إِلَهَ إِلا اللَّهُ الْعَظِيمُ الْحَلِيمُ لا إِلَهَ إِلا اللَّهُ رَبُّ الْعَرْشِ الْعَظِيمِ لا إِلَهَ إِلا اللَّهُ رَبُّ السَّمَوَاتِ وَرَبُّ الأَرْضِ وَرَبُّ الْعَرْشِ الْكَرِيمِ

 (There is no god but Allaah, the Almighty, the Forbearing; there is no god but Allaah, Lord of the Mighty Throne; there is no god but Allaah, Lord of the heavens, Lord of the earth and Lord of the noble Throne).” Narrated by al-Bukhaari, 6346; Muslim, 2730. 

Reciting Soorat al-Ikhlaas, Soorat al-Falaq and Soorat al-Naas (the final three chaptes in the Qur'an; the last page in most copies). 
The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) used to recite them when going to sleep, and he would blow into his hands and then wipe them over whatever he could reach of his body. It was narrated from ‘Aa’ishah that every night when the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) went to bed, he would cup his hands together, blow into them then recite into them Qul Huwa Allaahu ahad, Qul a’oodhu bi Rabb il-falaq and Qul ‘aoodhu bi Rabb il-naas, then he would wipe as much as he could reach of his body, starting with his head and face and the front of his body. And he would do that three times. Narrated by al-Bukhaari, 5018. 

And it was narrated that ‘Uqbah ibn ‘Aamir said: The Messenger of Allaah (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said: “Have you not seen the verses that were revealed tonight, the like of which has never been seen?Qul a’oodhu bi Rabb il-falaq and Qul ‘aoodhu bi Rabb il-naas. Narrated by Muslim, 814.

Welcoming the Newborn - Dr Ahsan Hanif

I find these brothers in the UK to be sincere in providing explanations in fairness and completeness. I am sure that there are those who will say that they have no right to speak, because they are untrained and what not, but I encourage all who have discovered this to please look into the credentials of this man, Dr. Ahsan Hanif, before such accusations are made.

What I know about him is that he has proficiency in the Arabic language, having learned in the Islamic University in the holy city of Madinah, and as such, he has removed one barrier between understanding the knowledge of al-Islam, and has the ability to read texts and take their first hand meanings, and also discuss those meanings with other men of understanding to reinforce his own. That means, having the ability to understand the Qur'an at the basic level, read interpretation of the Qur'an, which is derived from deeper knowledge of Arabic language, what the prophet said and/or about the verse or things related to it, what his companions in the first three generations of Islam taught and applied from what they knew of the Qur'an, and what scholars during and after those generations understood from all of this (see my previous post).
