Alhamdulillah for granting us the opportunity to be part of this blessed day in this blessed month. Let's continue with our studies of this beautiful suurah with the following practical Lessons for Our Daily Life. 🌿 1. Our hardship is not permanent. If ALLAH Azzawajal promised ease, it’s coming even if you can’t see it yet. 🌿 2. Sin creates heaviness. Tawbah creates relief. Use Ramadan to drop spiritual weight. 🌿 3. Keep moving after finishing good deeds. Don’t let worship end at Taraweeh. Continue privately. 🌿 4. Tie your heart to ALLAH Azzawajal, not outcomes. People may disappoint you. ALLAH Azzawajal never does. 🌿 5. Repeat “With hardship comes ease” when overwhelmed. Make it your Ramadan affirmation. Deep Reflection Question: What burden are you carrying right now? Now imagine A...

Alternative i‘tikāf* [[--5th Outing--]]

*Alternative i‘tikāf* [[--5th Outing--]] ------------------ *Digest this if you can't perform i‘tikāf:* بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم Muslims all over the world follow the example of the Prophet Muhammad (Peace be upon him) by spending the last ten nights of Ramadan awake late into the night, worshipping Allah by praying and reading the Qur’an, whether at home or in their Mosque. As Muslims, we believe that Lailatul-Qadr is the best time to ask for forgiveness, although staying up late and worshiping during the other nine final nights of Ramadan is understood to bring immense spiritual rewards and benefits (Getting Your Sins Wiped Out). Evidence: Abu Hurairah quoted Allah’s Messenger as saying: “Whoever stands (in prayer) in Laylatul Qadr while nourishing his faith with self-evaluation, expecting reward from Allah, will have all of his previous sins forgiven.” 📚[Narrated by Bukhari and Muslim). *Points to note:* (1) Do the standing in night to please ONLY ALLAH (swt). (2) If you can not...

((اللَّهُمَّ إِنَّكَ عُفُوٌّ كَرِيمٌ تُحِبُّ الْعَفْوَ فَاعْفُ عَنِّي)) "O Allah, You are Forgiving and Generous, and you love forgiveness, so forgive me.'” 📚[Narrated by Imam Ahmad, al-Tirmidhi and Ibn Majah.

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

DAILY ISLAMIC REMINDER. Yaum Al-khamis, 16th day of Ramadhan, 1447AH, Thursday, 5th March, 2026. *_TAFSEER OF SUURAH ASH-SHARH (QUR’AN 94) WITH SOME PRACTICAL LESSONS FOR DAILY LIFE continues_*. BismilLah. Let's continue from yesterday's reminder on the last verses 7 & 8 of Qur’an 94. Verse 7. فَإِذَا فَرَغْتَ فَانصَبْ So when you have finished (your duties), strive (in worship). Meaning: When you finish dunya tasks → stand in worship. When you finish one good deed → move to another. Islam doesn’t promote spiritual laziness. Ramadan teaches productive worship: After iftar → Maghrib. After Maghrib → Qur’an. After ‘Isha → Taraweeh. After Taraweeh → Tahajjud (if possible). Momentum matters. Verse 8. وَإِلَىٰ رَبِّكَ فَارْغَبْ And to your LORD alone turn your longing.This is powerful. Not: Turn to people, NOT Turn to status. NOT Turn to money. BUT TURN your hope, your need, your emotional dependence to ALLAH Azzawajal. Ramadan is about re-aligning desire: Hunger reminds us w...

CHANGE FOR THE BETTER!

FAJR REMINDER: CHANGE FOR THE BETTER! By: Umm Affān Ramaḍān 16, 1447 (5-March-2026) Sadly, some individuals among us display a remarkable fear of Allāh during the day in Ramaḍān, yet immediately after breaking their fast, they revert to sinful behaviors that they neglected during the daylight hours. It is important to recognize that what is Ḥarām (forbidden) during the day in Ramaḍān remains Ḥarām during the night. Fornication, adultery, masturbation, the consumption of intoxicants, backbiting, slandering, and any other sins are prohibited in Ramaḍān, both during the day and the night, just as they are in all other months. Our consciousness of Allāh should guide us throughout our lives, without allowing ourselves a moment to transgress His Boundaries. What can be said about someone who shares illicit intimacy with another, such as fornication or adultery, preparing meals for him during Ramaḍān? By Allāh! A boyfriend and girlfriend relationship is unlawful and contradicts the...

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 -]]

*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. For the one who asks, and for the deprived." 📚Al-Ma'arij 70 verse 24 to 25 By implication, This mean that, from every amount of mone...

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...

🍀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.

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...
