LAYLAT-UL-QADR! It might just be tonight!!!!

In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful

Verily, We have sent it (this Qur’ân) down in the night of Al-Qadr (Decree)[] (1) And what will make you know what the night of Al-Qadr (Decree) is? (2) The night of Al-Qadr (Decree) is better than a thousand months (i.e. worshipping Allâh in that night is better than worshipping Him a thousand months, i.e. 83 years and 4 months) (3) Therein descend the angels and the Rûh [Jibril (Gabriel)] by Allâh’s Permission with all Decrees, (4) (All that night), there is Peace (and Goodness from Allâh to His believing slaves) until the appearance of dawn.[] (5)

[QUR’AN CHAPTER 97, ENGLISH INTERPRETATION]

It’s toooooo special to miss!!!!!

And if you are a lady on your menses, you can ibadah other than prayer: see this

Some reminders from our respected lecturers in the last Ramadan Revival, this night

-increase in Qiyam (standing in prayer at night),

-reading Qur’an,

-making dua- lots of it, pour our hearts out to Allah!

-We can also give zakah if one lunar year passed on the wealth which reached the nisaab,

-and do other good deeds, like istighfar (seeking forgiveness from Allah –click to see amazing this dua)

-sadaqah,

-reminding each other of Allah,

-dhikr- remembering Allah,

-salat and salam on rasoolullah sallallahu alayhi wasallam!

This Ramadan Revival 2016, the sheikh reminded us to ensure and strive to purify our earnings, make them Halal, so that our dua’s may be answered.
We must direct our worship to Allah alone, as He is our only Rabb, Protector, Creator, Sustainer, and He alone deserves the right to be worshipped.
Let’s make our intention pure for Allah alone:

It was narrated from Abu Hurayrah (may Allaah be pleased with him) that the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said: “Whoever stays up and prays on Laylat al-Qadr out of faith and in the hope of reward, his previous sins will be forgiven.” Agreed upon.

Rasoolullah sallallahu alayhi wasallam taught ‘Aisha radi Allahu anhaa what to say on laylat-ul-qadr:

Transliteration: Allahumma innaka ‘afuwwun, tuHibul’afwa fa’fu ‘annee

Let’s revive the sunnah and flee to Allah! please remember us in your duas, and like and share this in sha Allah!

May Allah forgive all of us who believe and admit us to paradise, by His mercy. Allah abundantly bless rasoollullah. ameen

We’re blessed, but deprived…

June 19, 2016June 14, 2016Thurrock Muslim Community- thurrockmuslims.comLeave a comment

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.
