 *End of Devotion*

[[---- Part One -----]]
------------------------------

بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم

Whether we like it or not, for those who Allah (swt) will grant long-life, we will soon be celebrating the peaceful end of the holy season of Ramadan - In Shaa Allah. May Allah (swt) count us amongst people who will live long to witness very plenty decades observing Ramadan fast with sound health and faith in Allah (swt). Ameen Ya Hayyu La Yamootu Abadah

Now,

It's believed that we are warming up for giving out the Zakatul-fitr enjoined on us by Islam at the end of Ramadan. Yes. It is important to remind ourselves that the successful completion of the Ramadan fast is tied to the payment of Zakatul-fitr.

Evidence:

Anas bn Malik (RA) reports that the Prophet (pbuh) said: “The Ramadan fast of believing servants of Allah (SWT) would hang between the heavens and the earth until he pays the Zakatul-fitr. When he gives it out, Allah (SWT) would grant it two wings to fly to the seventh sky where it would remain until the owner comes for it.” 📚 Authentic Hadith

My people!

Zakatul-fitr is a Sunnah that is compulsory on every Muslim, young and old, male and female, free-born as well as slave. The Zakatul-fitr of every Muslim is to be given out by the person responsible for his/her sustenance. And If, for reasons of poverty a Muslim were unable to pay the Zakatul-fitr latest before leaving his house for the Eid prayers, he would still give it out anytime he is able to afford it. Yes. Zakatul-fitr has no waiver or substitute. It is obligatory on every Muslim.

Servants of Allah!

It has been a tradition in the lives of many Muslims today that the moment the month of Ramadan ends.......🙆‍♂️. In fact, some Muslims will even go as far as uttering all sorts of negative words if, in case a moon is not sited for the month of shawwal.

Nonetheless,

The end of Ramadan fast should not mean an end to all the righteous acts we put forth in the month of Ramadan. Yes. Let us be sincere in our faith by resolving to continue with all the virtuous deeds we are carriing out during Ramadan. Let us also vow to continue to eschew every evil act we avoided during Ramadan. Eidul-Fitr should not be seen as an occasion for us to go back to our old sinful life of envy, mischief, betrayal, listening to music, watching haram programs on TVs, telling lies, backbiting, cheating, forgery, patronizing fortunate tellers, etc. Resuming this kind of unholy life only makes us hypocrites.

Also,

We must always remember that.......

NOTHING HAPPENS WITHOUT THE PERMISSION OF ALLAH

 DAILY ISLAMIC REMINDERS. Yawm Arba'a. 29th day of Shaw'waal, 1445AH (Wednesday 8th May 2024). *_NOTHING HAPPENS WITHOUT THE PERMISSION OF ALLAH_*. BismilLah.  Even though feelings of Panic, stress/worries etc are part of life, they must not reduce our acts of worship or trust in ALLAH. The more a man turns to ALLAH and focuses on HIM, the more he will feel a sense of peace and comfort, to an extent that no one knows except ALLAH. Hence those who know ALLAH, are close to HIM and fear HIM are the happiest of people, to such an extent that one of them said, in a well-known expression: “If the kings and the sons of kings knew what joy we have, they would fight us for it with the sword.” This is also what is expressed in the Qur’an, as ALLAH says: “Whoever works righteousness, whether male or female, while he (or she) is a true believer (of Islamic Monotheism) verily, to him ALLAH will give a good life (in this world with respect, contentment and lawful provision), and ALLAH will ...

One of the question asked is can a Christian enter Jannah today?

 One of the question asked is can a Christian enter Jannah today? Alhamdulillah, it is clear from Quran and hadiths that any christian who dies believing Jesus is God or son of God and do not believe in prophet Muhammad Peace be Upon Him will enter hellfire. Allah says, Al-Ma'idah 5:17 They have certainly disbelieved who say that Allāh is Christ, the son of Mary. Say, "Then who could prevent Allāh at all if He had intended to destroy Christ, the son of Mary, or his mother or everyone on the earth?" And to Allāh belongs the dominion of the heavens and the earth and whatever is between them. He creates what He wills, and Allāh is over all things competent. Allah says, Al-Ma'idah 5:72 لَقَدۡ كَفَرَ ٱلَّذِينَ قَالُوٓاْ إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ هُوَ ٱلۡمَسِيحُ ٱبۡنُ مَرۡيَمَۖ وَقَالَ ٱلۡمَسِيحُ يَٰبَنِيٓ إِسۡرَٰٓءِيلَ ٱعۡبُدُواْ ٱللَّهَ رَبِّي وَرَبَّكُمۡۖ إِنَّهُۥ مَن يُشۡرِكۡ بِٱللَّهِ فَقَدۡ حَرَّمَ ٱللَّهُ عَلَيۡهِ ٱلۡجَنَّةَ وَمَأۡوَىٰهُ ٱلنَّارُۖ وَمَا لِلظَّٰلِمِينَ مِنۡ أَنصَ...

Friday and it's dignity.

 Friday and it's dignity. Alhamdulillah, Allah says, Al-Jumu'ah 62:9 يَآأَيُّهَا ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُوٓاْ إِذَا نُودِيَ لِلصَّلَوٰةِ مِن يَوۡمِ ٱلۡجُمُعَةِ فَٱسۡعَوۡاْ إِلَىٰ ذِكۡرِ ٱللَّهِ وَذَرُواْ ٱلۡبَيۡعَۚ ذَٰلِكُمۡ خَيۡرࣱ لَّكُمۡ إِن كُنتُمۡ تَعۡلَمُونَ O you who have believed, when [the adhān] is called for the prayer on the day of Jumuʿah [Friday], then proceed to the remembrance of Allāh and leave trade. That is better for you, if you only knew. Friday is the best day of the week because it was the day Adam was created, the day he entered paradise and the day he was removed from paradise. it was also the day he died and the hour(qiyaamah) will not come except on this day. Sahih. It was narrated from Aws bin Aws that: The Prophet (ﷺ) said: "Whoever washes (ghassala) and performs ghusl, comes early to the masjid and sits near the imam and does not engage in idle talk, he will have for every step he takes (the reward of) a year's worth of good deeds, fasting it and...
