MAKE IT COUNT

 FAJR REMINDER: MAKE IT COUNT! By: Umm Affān Ramaḍān 15, 1447 (4-March-2026) During Ramaḍān, you may notice that even those Muslims who don’t typically pray in the Masjid are motivated to do so. This month is recognized as a time for sincere worship, where we strive to draw nearer to Allāh. It serves as an opportunity to passionately supplicate, engage in Istighfar, and sincerely abandon sins. To truly embrace the essence of this fasting month and achieve excellence, let us deepen our relationship with the Qur’ān through abundant recitation—especially at night—listening to its recitation, and participating in Tafsīr sessions. The Prophet Muḥammad (ﷺ) would routinely review the Qur’ān during Ramaḍān, sitting in front of his teacher, Angel Jibreel (‘Alayhi Salām). Ibn ‘Abbās (Raḍiyallāhu ‘Anhuma) remarked that: “...He (i.e. the Prophet ﷺ) would meet him every night during Ramaḍān and recite the Qur’ān to him...” [Ṣaḥīḥ al-Bukhārī 1902, Ṣaḥīḥ Muslim 2308] So, who are we to r...

 *Alternative i‘tikāf* [[-3rd Outing -]] ------------------ *Digest this if you can't perform i‘tikāf:* بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم Majority of Muslims love to perform i‘tikāf (total seclusion inside the masjid) in the last 10 DAYS of Ramadan BUT certain genuine reasons could not allowed them.. There's nothing to worry about because there's alternative to harvesting all the goodies shared to you. Now, *Tip No 4:* Give charity and help the needy. Allah (swt) will question us on the ways we handle everything in this world 🌎 and this includes every currency which hits our pockets or Bank accounts - Naira, Dollars, Ria, Euros to mention but a few. In surah Al-Ma'arij 70 verse 24 to 25, Allah (swt) say: وَٱلَّذِينَ فِىٓ أَمْوَٰلِهِمْ حَقٌّ مَّعْلُومٌ لِّلسَّآئِلِ وَٱلۡمَحۡرُومِ "And those in whose wealth there is a recognized right.

Is your Fasting Complete?

 🌷 *Is your Fasting Complete?*🌷 By Asma bint Shameem What if you hire someone to do something for you, but they only do PART of the job and leave the rest incomplete?  Will you recompense them fully for a job completed?    And what do you think a teacher would say if a student turns in only some of his homework and fails to do the rest of it? Will he get full marks for it?    And what about a child who is supposed to clean his whole room, but he only cleans HALF of it? Do you think he did what was required of him? Would you reward him for a job well done?  The answer to all of the above is an obvious NO.  That's because they did not complete what they were supposed to do and only did part of it. And thus they do not deserve to be fully rewarded.    *Similarly, my dear sister, is the case when you fast but you don't wear hijaab.* Do you realize, dear sister, that by not wearing hijaab, you are only doing PART of the job and not doing wh...

EAT SMART THIS RAMADAN!*

 🍀بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم🍀 ﷺ ♥‌‌‌🍃ﷺ♥‌‌‌🍃ﷺ   *`` Tuesday 14 March 2026 14 Ramadhan 1447 AH ` * *EAT SMART THIS RAMADAN!* Many of us have developed a culture of indulgent eating… lavish five course meals, daily indulgent snacks and more!The Holy Quraan states,“…and eat and drink but do not be excessive, certainly He (Allah) does not like those who are extravagant.” *(Quraan 7:31)* Fasting gives our digestive system a much needed rest, where the energy usually used in food digestion and metabolism is directed towards the bodies detoxification, repair and healing…Subhaanallah! Fasting is one of the oldest forms of natural healing. The West are in fact now highly recommending fasting as an ideal detox and a brilliant way to supercharge the immune system. This Ramadan, let us stop indulging and allow our bodies to obtain maximum spiritual and health benefits, Insha’Allah. What can we do?

TAFSEER OF SUURAH ASH-SHARH (QUR’AN 94) WITH SOME PRACTICAL LESSONS FOR DAILY LIFE

 DAILY ISLAMIC REMINDER. Yaum athalaatha, 14th day of Ramadhan, 1447AH, Tuesday, 3rd March, 2026. *_TAFSEER OF SUURAH ASH-SHARH (QUR’AN 94) WITH SOME PRACTICAL LESSONS FOR DAILY LIFE_*. BismilLah.  This beautiful short suurah is a message of comfort from ALLAH Azzawajal to our beloved Prophet ﷺ, and also to every believer who feels burdened, overwhelmed, or exhausted. Especially in Ramadan, its message hits deep. بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الرَّحْمَٰنِ الرَّحِيمِ Verse 1. أَلَمْ نَشْرَحْ لَكَ صَدْرَكَ “Did I (ALLAH) not expand for you your chest?” This refers to: Spiritual clarity, Strength, patience and Peace despite difficulty. When ALLAH Azzawajal expands our chest, problems don’t disappear but our heart becomes bigger than the problem. Fasting trains the heart. The hunger softens us. The Qur’an opens us. Our chest feels lighter. Verses 2-3. وَوَضَعْنَا عَنكَ وِزْرَكَ الَّذِي أَنقَضَ ظَهْرَكَ And remove from you your burden, Which had weighed heavily upon your back? The Prophet ﷺ felt ...

PUT A STOP TO IT!

 FAJR REMINDER: PUT A STOP TO IT! By: Umm Affān Ramaḍān 14, 1447 (3-March-2026) Undoubtedly, the fundamental principles and significance of interacting with others were eloquently conveyed by our beloved Prophet Muḥammad (ﷺ). Social cohesion and behavior play a crucial role in human existence. The foundation of good character in our interactions is primarily to refrain from causing harm, annoyance, or inconvenience to others. Consequently, any action that harms or troubles others without justifiable reason is deemed a negative act, deviating from the Sunnah of the Prophet (ﷺ). When asked about the actions that facilitate entrance to Paradise, the Prophet (ﷺ) responded: “God-fearing (i.e. Taqwā) and good character.” [Sunan At-Tirmidhī 2004] He also stated: “And among the most perfect of believers are those best in character...” [Sunan At-Tirmidhī 2612] Ramaḍān is recognized as a month of immense compassion, during which kindness is encouraged and significant rewards are attainable...

How to benefit in Ramadhaan even during menses*🌷

 🌷*How to benefit in Ramadhaan even during menses*🌷 by Asma bint Shameem I see many sisters, who are ma sha' Allaah, very enthusiastic about their prayers, duas and Ibaadah during the month of Ramadhaan. But, come their time for menses, it's like someone turned their switch 'off'. They completely stop all forms of worship and think that their menses is a reason to take a 'vacation' from remembering Allaah.... totally. They start spending their time shopping, watching TV or just doing other stuff, just because they are 'on it', although previously they were very eager to spend their time remembering Allaah. And then, there are some of my sisters, who are genuinely very distraught and feel kind of deprived and sad and so helpless that they cannot pray or fast during these days. Naturally, they stop praying and fasting, as per the orders of Allaah, but then, they also stop all other forms of worship and means of coming close to their Rabb.  This is so muc...

Why many Muslims at the masjid they prolonged their Qunoot Du'a and also recite it melodiously?*

 *Why many Muslims at the masjid they prolonged their Qunoot Du'a and also recite it melodiously?* As Salamu alaikum my dear brothers and sisters in Islam, wallahi I've seen many masājid are prolonging their Qunoot Du'a and reciting it melodiously as they are reciting Quran. Where do you get this? It's innovation because that was not the teaching of prophet Muhammad sal Allahu alayhi wa sallam. As for prolonging the qunoot du'a it doesn't have basic... Because.... كان رسولُ الله ﷺ يستحبُّ الجوامعَ من الدعاءِ ويَدَعُ ما سوى  ذلك. Aisha bint Abi Bakr (may Allah be pleased with her) is: “The Messenger of Allah (sal Allahu alayhi wa sallam)used to prefer جامع الدعاء (concise, comprehensive supplications), and he would leave anything other than that.” What does al-Jawāmi mean? It means.... He used to recite a few words but vast, and comprehensive meanings.....he used to do suplications that gather many forms of goodness in a short phrase. So, please never make it as ...

There's nothing to worry about because there's alternative to harvesting all the goodies shared to you. Muslim Faithful,! The last ten nights of Ramadan are very special. The first of these nights occurs on the eve of the 21st day of Ramadan. In other words, it is the night that commences after the completion of the 20th day of fasting. Sometimes there are only nine nights, whenever the month of Ramadan lasts for only 29 days. Nevertheless, they are still traditionally referred to as “the last ten nights.” The last ten nights of Ramadan are very special.

Alternative i‘tikāf* [[-First Outing -]]

 *Alternative i‘tikāf* [[-First Outing -]] ------------------ *Digest this if you can't perform i‘tikāf:* بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم Allah (swt) created times, and He chose and elevated specific times, certain months, days, or hours in status and virtues. Undoubtedly, the month of Ramadan is one of these blessed times and the best month of the year. From among Ramadan, Allah further raised the status of a night over that of one thousand months, and that is laylat’l-qadr. Servants of Allah! It is believed that on one day during the last 10 days of Ramadan, the Qur’an was revealed to the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) through the Angel Jibrael. Many Muslims believe this to fall on the last 10 night of Ramadan (21:or 23 or 25 or 27 or 29). This night is known as Laylatul Qadr. Laylatul Qadr (the Night of Power) is described in the Qur’an as, {better than a thousand months}. (Al-Qadr: 3) Any action done on this night is better than acting for one thousand months which do not contain the night of ...

 DAILY ISLAMIC REMINDER. Yaum al-ithnayn, 13th day of Ramadhan, 1447AH, Monday, 2nd March, 2026. *_Practical Lessons from Surrah At-Tin (Qur’an 95) for our daily life especially in Ramadan_*. BismilLah.  Let's continue with our studies of suurah At-Tin with some practical Lessons below; 1. Protecting our “Best Form”. We were created in the best mould — don’t destroy it with: Sins, Arrogance, Laziness in worship Ramadan is a reset. 2. Rise — Don’t Fall. Every sin pulls us down. Every sajdah lifts us up. Choose elevation. 3. Combine Faith With Action. Don’t let Ramadan be emotional only. Pair it with Qur’an recitation, Night prayer, Charity, Good character with sincere belief. 4. Valuing our Human Dignity. We are honoured by ALLAH Azzawajal. So let's Speak with honour. Treat others with honour. Use our intellect wisely. 5. Reflect on Accountability. Ask yourself nightly: If Ramadan ended today, have I risen or fallen? Am I closer to “Ahsani Taqweem” or “Asfala Saafileen”? 💎....

PATIENTLY OBEY ALLĀH

 FAJR REMINDER: PATIENTLY OBEY ALLĀH!  By: Umm Affān Ramaḍān 12, 1447 (1-March-2026) We cannot discuss Ramaḍān without addressing the concept of Patience (or Perseverance). The activities associated with this holy month—fasting throughout the day, engaging in prayer at night, dedicating time to Qur'ān recitation, reciting Adhkār, participating in Tafsīr sessions, giving to those in need, and refraining from anything that could invalidate our fast—are all centered around the idea of patience. Indeed, every form of worship demands patience—patience in fulfilling what Allāh has commanded (i.e., worshipping Him and following His Guidelines) and patience in avoiding what He has forbidden (like Zinā', listening to obnoxious music, backbiting, gossiping, etc.). However, human nature tends to lean towards forbidden desires. Allāh reminds us that Prophet Yūsuf (‘Alayhi Salām) stated: “...Verily, the (human) self is inclined to evil, except when my Lord bestows His Mercy (upon whom He w...

THE DANGEROUS NATURE OF LYING AND DECEPTION ESPECIALLY IN RAMADAN

 DAILY ISLAMIC REMINDER. Yaum As-sabt, 12th day of Ramadhan, 1447AH, Sunday, 29th February, 2026. *_THE DANGEROUS NATURE OF LYING AND DECEPTION ESPECIALLY IN RAMADAN_*. BismilLahir Rahmanir Raheem.  Please allow me to pause our Tafseer Series today to share this important reminder. After Fajr this morning, a Sheikh delivered a powerful reminder about speaking the truth at all cost and the danger of lying,  even in jokes. It really touched the heart. Ramadan is not just about staying away from food and drink. It is about purifying the tongue and the heart. The Prophet ﷺ said that whoever does not give up false speech and acting upon it, ALLAH Azzawajal has no need of his leaving food and drink. This means we could be hungry and thirsty… yet lose the reward because of our words. He ﷺ also warned: “Woe to the one who lies to make people laugh.” Even small “jokes” are serious with ALLAH. SubhanAllah. The tongue is small, but it can either raise us in ranks or empty our Ramada...
