Sunday Reminder

EVENING REMINDER : Sunday : SINCERITY IN ALL WE DO IN THIS BLESSED MONTH               Bismillahir Rahmaanir Raheem AlhamdulilLah for blessing us to be part of the on going fasting, let's focus on one important aspect of our life whiles fasting. That's sincerity in all we do. We find the Prophet (sallallahu alaihi wasallam) stressing this matter when he said, "(Fasting) with full faith and hoping for a reward from Allah." The Salaf who are the companions and their students therefore used to do their righteous deeds secretly in fear of falling into showing off. Sufyan Al-Thawn said, "The servant of Allah would do his deeds secretly, and the devil would persist in tempting him until he convinces him to do it openly. The devil would then continue to insist until the person wants to be thanked for the deed. So, it will be converted from a deed done openly to one done for showing off." Allah forbid. Let's try to avoid was...

SECOND REMINDER : Sunday : ANGER MANAGEMENT IN THIS BLESSED MONTH continues                Bismillaahir Rahmaanir Raheem The problem with leaving anger unresolved is that it can get the best of us and has the potential to become a monster within us.  here are three pieces of advice from Islam’s spiritual sources that may go a long way in managing anger: First, the Qur’an advises that when Satan stirs us up with anger, the best course of action is to seek refuge in Allah (41:36). There is recognition in this that anger comes from a dark and fiery place and that the remembrance of Allah can bring light and coolness to one’s affairs. You can do this by chanting Allah’s beautiful names, reciting Qur’an, or anything else that helps you remember the Source of Peace (one of the 99 attributes of Allah). Example you can recite regularly Yaa Allah Yaa Hayyu Yaa Qayyuum BiRahmatika A...

FIRST REMINDER: Sunday: 2nd day of Ramadhan : ANGER MANAGEMENT WHILST FASTING             Bismillahir Rahmaanir Raheem Once a young man approached the Prophet (sallallahu alaihi wasallah) and asked him for some advice. The Prophet replied, “Do not become angry,” and he repeated this three times. On another occasion the Prophet asked his companions, “Do you know who the strong person is?” His companions replied, “The one who is able to wrestle others down.” The Prophet responded, “No, it is the one who is able to control their anger. There are so many wisdoms from the Prophet specifically advising against anger, all reflecting the Qur’anic description of the righteous as those who “hold in check their anger” (3:134). The advice is much needed. Indeed, some of the worst actions committed by human beings from killing to domestic abuse are, at least partly, a result of unb...

We've got only 30 days to change our whole year of bad habits.  That’s all the time you have to make use of in the most blessed month of the year, Ramadan. 11 months ago after last Ramadan we’ve been swinging in the ups and downs of productivity, in seeking mercy and forgiveness of Allah, and above all His closeness. A lot of days we have wasted doing things that don’t benefit our dunya or akhira. But just for this one month, for these 30 or 29 days, let’s take up the challenge of avoiding all those things that will be of no benefit and make best use of this month.

Ramadan Lesson

WHAT YOU SHOULD KNOW ABOUT FASTING 1. When the month of Ramadan starts, the gates of paradise are opened, the gates of hell are closed and the devils are chained. (Al-Bukhari 1898, Muslim 1079) 2. Every Muslim must make intention before fajr to fast(for an obligatory fast). Intention is not uttered. It is determination in the mind and should not be done with audible wordings. (Al Bukhari 1, Abu Dawood 2454) 3. Fasting is NOT just abstaining from eating and drinking, it is also refraining from vain speech and foul language. If one is verbally abused, he should say 'I am fasting' (Muslim 1151) 4. Taking the pre-dawn meal (Sahuur) is a BLESSING. Every Muslim is expected to take the meal EVEN if with a mouthful of water. (Al Bukhari 1923, Ahmad 44) 5. It is the Sunnah to DELAY the Sahuur and HASTEN to break the fast as soon as the sun sets. (Al Bukhari 1921, Muslim 1099) 6. If one hears the call to prayer WHILE still eating the Sahuur, he should not stop eating, rather he sho...

Dua (Prayer) of Fasting

The following dua (prayers) are recited at the beginning and end of the fast to indicate and affirm the intention of the fast. A person's intention when fasting, is to bring him/herself closer to God. The purpose of making an intention before every deed is to remind our inner self and confirm with our verbal intention that we seek the pleasure of God in our all actions. Dua (Prayer) at the Beginning of the Fast 1   وَبِصَوْمِ غَدٍ نَّوَيْتَ مِنْ شَهْرِ رَمَضَانَ Wa bisawmi ghadinn nawaiytu min shahri ramadan I intend to keep the fast for tomorrow in the month of Ramadan Or you can also recite the flowing: Dua (Prayer) at the Beginning of the Fast 2   نـَوَيْتُ ...

SUB'HANALLAH!!!

Once Moosa (AS) asked Allah Ta'ala: O Allah! You have granted me the honor and privilege of talking to you directly, Have you given this privilege to any other person? Allah Ta'ala replied, O!! Moosa during the last period I am going to send an ummat, who will be the Ummat of Mohammed (SAW) with dry lips, parched tongues, emaciated body with eyes sunken deep into their sockets, with livers dry and stomachs suffering the pangs of hunger- will call out to me (in dua) they will be much closer to me than you O Moosa! while you speak to me there are 70000 veils between you and me but at the time of iftaar there will not be a single veil between me and the fasting Ummati of Mohammed (SAW) O!! Moosa I have taken upon myself the responsibility that at the time of iftaar I will never refuse the dua of a fasting person! Sub'hanallah!!   🍁Humble Request: Please spread this Hadith as much as possible to your dear ones.
