When we start anything in the name of Allah automatically, we have a sense of comfort. Allah chooses to two of His qualities that He wanted to be repeated again and again,
Those whose tongues are moist in the remembrance of Allah, declaring His praised and His greatness. They will never go wrong.
You could have anything but if you are astray, you’ve lost. You could have anything but if you’ve earned the anger of Allah, you’ve lost what do we want? The mercy of Allah, never let shaitaan overtake you by making you think that you are too far from the mercy of Allah (swt)
This will definitely be a unique Ramadan one to be remembered.
We do know that Allah is the most merciful, the most kind, the most generous, the most compassionate, the most forgiving the most beneficent, Allah is the Healer, he is the curer, he is the sustainer, He is the provider, he is the protector, he Is the curer, may Allah subhanahu wa’ta’ala grant us all cure.
Every time there is something that happens that brings us closer to Allah subhanahu wa’ta’ala. It is indeed a blessing of Allah. It is indeed a sign of the mercy of Allah and His love for us. May Allah subhanahu wa’ta’ala Love us.
We have to have hope, we have to instil hope, we have to believe in the mercy of Allah. It’s a unique Ramadan, Ramadan wherein we will be able to participate online more than ever before.
So start selecting what you’d like to do in the month of Ramadan, start setting your timetable, the lessons that you will engage in, the online correction of your recitation, the online learning expanding of your knowledge of the Quran the tafseer, the rulings the regulations that of the Sunnah, the Hadith of the Prophet (saw), the rules and regulations of your religion.
let’s not waste our time engaging in that which is futile and at times even destructive.
There are numerous narrations about simple people in society that had very simple duas that People might have mocked or found to be very rudimentary, but they were actually very special, right, and they spoke to the beauty of the hearts of those whose tongues would Express those simple forms of dua .
Islam is not an elitist religion. Islam is accessible to the Bedouin and it’s accessible to the king. It’s accessible to people across their socioeconomic status, because we all supplicate the same God, we all have the same mechanism for supplicating that one God.
No one has a shorter ladder to him, right? It’s just there, Allahumma oh Allah! and once you say oh Allah then all of us are in the same plane when we say o Allah O My Lord, right, and just call upon him in that way.

صلى الله عليه وسلم “ لأَنْ أَقُولَ سُبْحَانَ اللَّهِ وَالْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ وَلاَ إِلَهَ إِلاَّ اللَّهُ وَاللَّهُ أَكْبَرُ أَحَبُّ إِلَىَّ مِمَّا طَلَعَتْ عَلَيْهِ الشَّمْسُ ”
Abu Hurairah Radi Allahu Anhu se rivayat hai ki Rasool-Allah Sal-Allahu alaihi wasallam ne farmaya mujhe SubhanAllahi wa Alhamdulillahi wa la ilaha illallahu wallahu Akbar kahna un tamam cheezo se zyada pasand hai jin par aaftab (suraj) nikalta hai. Note : Ye wahi azkar hai jo Salat Al-tasbeeh mein padha jata hai
Sahih Muslim, Jild 6, 6847
Syed Ul Istighfar / the chief of seeking forgiveness
A lot of people don’t know about which is that the prophet (saw) had sent the people home for Taraweeh in a very interesting Hadith, two narrations in fact.
This Ramadan in particular while there are some Fatwahs that are coming out about praying Taraweeh behind a screen, the vast majority of scholars would not approve of such a thing and I would caution and very …in particular to say that when we are in a temporary time of need we should not do things that could alter our trajectory permanently.
Be a person of contentment, be a person who is satisfied with what Allah subhanaw Taala has chose for him/ chose for her.
The prophet (saw) said being rich and prosperous and wealthy is not about having a lot of money, a lot of material possessions. No, he said being prosperous is when your heart is content that is when you are rich, when your heart is content. Allahu Akbar,..
As a traveler how many extras do you want to be carrying on your back, lightest will be quickest on the Day of Judgment.
Truly Victory belongs to the Believers. True success in this world is closely connected to your success in the Hereafter.
The hadith says that the best of speech is the speech of Allah. The best of words are the words of Allah; connect yourself to the words of Allah.
I promise you if you were to make an effort with the word of Allah, Allah will come closer to you more than you can imagine.
The prophet (saw) said that Allah is shy, when his servants raise his hands in dua/ supplication to let them come down empty without being answered. Allah (swt) Allah subhanaw Taala is shy and generous so that when a servant raises His hands to the sky, there’s no way that Allah (swt) would let those hands come down from the heavens empty and rejected.
Here’s transliteration to help with pronunciation of the dua,
Allahumma anta rabbi la ilaha illa anta, khalaqtani wa-ana ‘abduk, wa-ana ‘ala ‘ahdika wawa‘dika mas-tata‘t, a‘oothu bika min sharri ma sana‘t, aboo-o laka bini‘matika ‘alay, wa-aboo-o bithanbee, faghfir lee fa-innahu la yaghfiru-thunaba illa ant
O Allah, You are my Lord, none has the right to be worshipped except You, You created me and I am Your servant and I abide to Your covenant and promise as best I can, I take refuge in You from the evil of which I have committed. I acknowledge Your favour upon me and I acknowledge my sin, so forgive me, for verily none can forgive sin except You.
[Bukhaari 7/150]
Allah has hidden His pleasure within his Good Deeds. So you don’t know which of your good deeds is going to attain his pleasure and Allah has hidden His friends/ His awliya amongst His servants. And so you don’t know which of the Servants of Allah one of His friends is.
When it comes to our Good Deeds, we do not belittle a single Good Deed because that might be the good deed that attains Allah has pleasure that earns us Allah’s pleasure.
we don’t belittle any person in front of us and how we treat that person because that person might be one of those whom Allah is highly pleased with and so honoring that person attains us a greater honor in the sight of Allah subhanahu wa’ta’ala because you’re treating someone with honor that Allah has honored as well.
Try your level best to make some space in your Your heart for the Quran. There are locks upon the heart sins that prevent the heart from benefiting it.
The Quran is primarily intended to affect the human heart and that is why Allah subhanahu wa’ta’ala chose the heart of a human being as the landing platform of the Quran, not a mountain, not soil ,not a building, a heart of a human being.
But if the heart is not ready to receive it, the fruits of eman can’t grow grow, you recite and the Quran pushes you further and further away from Allah. Identifying locks which prevent from benefiting of the quran; open them up using the key of istighfar- astaghfirullah, astaghfirullah, astaghfirullah
You were put there for a reason. That is an opportunity for me to benefit from and I could have easily overlooked you, the same way that that woman could have easily overlooked that dog.
Often you cannot understand someone Else’s vulnerability unless you’ve been vulnerable in the same way; Even if it’s to a lesser extent.
The woman that was thirsty saw that that dog was thirsty for the same water; imam Malik Deenar (rah) saw that that young man was thirsty for the water of guidance. The way that he wants was thirsty for the water of guidance.
Whether Allah puts a bad neighbor in your life or Allah (swt) puts, you know an animal in your life that surrounds you or a Coke can and Street anything right? What are these opportunities of repentance? That Allah subhanahu wa’ta’ala keeps on putting in your way, Right?
If you don’t have a daily relationship with the Quran, then you are fooling yourself into thinking that you are doing good.
These are the Gatherings that will bring sakina upon a house that is fractured, that will erase the sins of a sinner that will illuminate the grave of a Muslim and we’ll take him or her by their hand and guide them to the highest grades in jannah.
