SIGNS OF AN ACCEPTED RAMADAN

Feeling regretful? That’s the first step to change. Let us acknowledge our faults, and seek Allah’s forgiveness. Let us resolve to change for the better.

WE STILL HAVE A CHANCE!

Let’s revive the Ramadan atmosphere by increasing our ibadah, by quality and quantity in sha Allah!

We have around 21 days left to make a positive difference!

Top Tips to revive our iman (faith, in statement and action) after Ramadan

Let us make more istighfar, seek Allah’s forgiveness, saying Astaghfirullah, SubhanAllahi wabihamdi, Astaghfirullaha wa atoobo ilayhi, and this amazing dua called sayyid al istighfar you MUST learn (click here!)
Strive to pray the five prayers on time
Strive to spend in charity
Do good and remind others to do good and keep away from and forbid evil, trying hard to practice what we preach.
Read more Qur’an at least a page or so a day, try to read some tafsir or translation too.
Have good character/perfecting it
Make someone smile : )
More remembrance of Allah, subhanaAllah, walhamdulillah, wallahuakbar, wa la ilaha ilallah! Because it’s all about Allah, Al-Wahid, alone!
Do sunnah acts, optional prayers
Fast 6 days of Shawwal! Here’s an awesome opportunity…

Abu Ayyub (May Allah be pleased with him) reported:

The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said, “He who observes As-Saum (the fasts) in the month of Ramadan, and also observes As-Saum for six days in the month of Shawwal, it is as if he has observed As-Saum for the whole year.”

[Muslim].

Subhanallah, WOW! : o

Narrated Abu Ayyub:

The Prophet (ﷺ) as saying: If anyone fasts during Ramadan, then follows it with six days in Shawwal, it will be like a perpetual fast.

Reference : Sunan Abi Dawud 2433, sahih Al-Albani

ALLAHUAKBAR!

Don’t forget to make up what you owe of this Ramadan first (if any obligatory ones are outstanding e.g. ladies during their days off -menses etc.). We must complete Ramadan before following it with the Shawwal fasts, in sha Allah, as the Imam of Masjid an Nabawi reminded us in the Friday Sermon last year in Shawwal.

What an amazing sunnah, let’s try to fulfil this in sha Allah and tell others too, for the sake of Allah. Alhamdulillah. May Allah grant us the ability to serve Him according to Qur’an and Sunnah,with sincerity and sound intentions. wasallallahu ala nabiyinaa Muhammad. ameen ya Rab al alameen!

By the way this is a reminder to me before it is to you, so do comment below on anything you may want to add! May Allah forgive us for any errors! ameen

With love for the sake of Allah

We’re blessed, but deprived…

In the name of Allah.

Who doesn’t have a smartphone/tablet/laptop/electronic gadget of some sort today?

In fact, many of us probably have one of these, or one of each, or even more than one of each…

Yes, so Alhamdulillah, we’re blessed with these fabulous gadgets that we use for hours on end.

We have all the time to use our digital darlings, but we’re deeply deprived.

Why?

Because which of us doesn’t have a Qur’an application on our devices, or a means to access it via WiFi or internet, but we chose to avoid it.

We have the time to make consecutive phone calls and messages. Minutes turn to hours. Granted, we’re busy- but we’ve got five, ten, fifteen minutes to spare to update our social media accounts, to browse the web, to take selfies…

When will we decide to read a verse or two of the Qur’an? It’s not that we don’t have time for it, it’s that we won’t make time for it…

Don’t we know what we’re missing out on? Our hearts are heavy, our minds are overwhelmed, our problems are many, yet we have the solutions, in the Qur’an. If only we would read.

The Qur’an is a healing, guidance and a mercy for the believers. Please read a few lines from Surah Ar-Rahman.

أعوذ بالله من الشيطان الرجيم

Surat Ar-Raĥmān (The Beneficent)سورة الرحمن


	1	الرَّحْمَـٰنُ The Most Gracious (Allah)!

	2	عَلَّمَ الْقُرْآنَ He has taught (you mankind) the Qur’an (by His Mercy).

	3	خَلَقَ الْإِنسَانَ He created man.

	4	عَلَّمَهُ الْبَيَانَ He taught him eloquent speech.

	5	الشَّمْسُ وَالْقَمَرُ بِحُسْبَانٍ The sun and the moon run on their fixed courses (exactly) calculated with measured out stages for each (for reckoning).

	6	وَالنَّجْمُ وَالشَّجَرُ يَسْجُدَانِ And the herbs (or stars) and the trees both prostrate themselves (to Allah – See V.22:18) (Tafsir Ibn Kathir)

	7	وَالسَّمَاءَ رَفَعَهَا وَوَضَعَ الْمِيزَانَ And the heaven: He has raised it high, and He has set up the Balance.

	8	أَلَّا تَطْغَوْا فِي الْمِيزَانِ In order that you may not transgress (due) balance.

	9	وَأَقِيمُوا الْوَزْنَ بِالْقِسْطِ وَلَا تُخْسِرُوا الْمِيزَانَ And observe the weight with equity and do not make the balance deficient.

	10	وَالْأَرْضَ وَضَعَهَا لِلْأَنَامِ And the earth: He has put down (laid) for the creatures.

	11	فِيهَا فَاكِهَةٌ وَالنَّخْلُ ذَاتُ الْأَكْمَامِ Therein are fruits and date-palms producing sheathed fruit-stalks (enclosing dates).

	12	وَالْحَبُّ ذُو الْعَصْفِ وَالرَّيْحَانُ And also corn, with (its) leaves and stalk for fodder, and sweet-scented plants.

	13	فَبِأَيِّ آلَاءِ رَبِّكُمَا تُكَذِّبَانِ Then which of the Blessings of your Lord will you both (jinn and men) deny?

Allah grant us the tawfiq to read, ponder and act on His noble Book. May Allah save us from the devil’s plots. Allahumma salli alaa Muhammad sallallahu alayhi wasallam. Ameen

JazakAllah khair.
