RAMAḌĀN IS COMING

 FAJR REMINDER: RAMAḌĀN IS COMING!

By: Umm Affān

Sha'bān 13, 1447 (1-February-2026)


Ramaḍān is truly one of the greatest blessings that Allāh grants us. It is a period filled with generosity, blessings, spiritual nourishment, worship, and obedience to Allāh. Fasting during this month is the fourth pillar of Islām, making it essential to prepare adequately before it begins.


Ibn Rajab reported that Ma’la Ibn al-Faḍl (Raḥimahullāh) mentioned, “The companions would supplicate to Allāh for six months before they would reach Ramaḍān. Then, they would supplicate to him for six months afterward to accept their deeds.” [Laṭā’if al-Ma’ārif 1/138] Indeed, reaching Ramaḍān is a significant blessing. This is why the Prophet (ﷺ) would notify people with glad tidings about this cherished month and highlight its virtues along with the considerable rewards that Allāh has prepared for those who fast and engage in night prayers.


It is vital to embrace this blessed month with heartfelt repentance and gratitude. While seeking Allāh’s Pardon is crucial at all times, the significance of avoiding sins is even more pronounced during Ramaḍān. We should regret our past misdeeds and make a firm decision not to revert to them, as Allāh indeed accepts the repentance of those who sincerely turn back to Him.


Allāh says: “O you who believe! Turn to Allāh with sincere repentance! It may be that your Lord will remit you into Gardens under which rivers flow (Paradise) the Day that Allāh will not disgrace the Prophet (Muḥammad ﷺ) and those who believe with him…” [Sūrah At-Taḥrīm (66): 8]


Additionally, we should strive to resolve any conflicts we may have with others, particularly regarding fulfilling their rights. This will allow us to start the blessed month with a pure heart and a tranquil mind.


I beseech Allāh to grant us the opportunity to reach this month in good health and strong faith. Aameen.

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 ...

HELPING OTHERS WITH INTENTION FOR ALLAH'S HELP IN RETURN

 DAILY ISLAMIC REMINDER. Yaum Al-Khamis, 22nd day of Jumaadal Uula 1447AH, Thursday, 13th November, 2025.  *_HELPING OTHERS WITH INTENTION FOR ALLAH'S HELP IN RETURN_*. BismilLah.  When we help our brothers and sisters in Islam, in reality, we are helping ourselves. The Messenger of ALLAH (S.A.W) said: He who relieves the hardship of a believer in this world, ALLAH Azzawajallah will relieve his hardship on the Day of Judgment. He who makes easy what is difficult, ALLAH ALLAH Azzawajallah will make it easy for him in the world and the hereafter. He who conceals the faults of a Muslim, ALLAH ALLAH Azzawajallah will conceal his faults in this ALLAH Azzawajallah world and the Hereafter, for ALLAH helps the servant as long as he helps his brother. Source: Ṣaḥīḥ "Muslim 2699. AlhamdulilLah.  With this I hope with immediate effect we will all strive to help each other in any possible way such as making dua for each other, supporting our relatives and those in need in ou...

BEST TIME FOR TAHAJJUD

 *BEST TIME FOR TAHAJJUD* It is best to delay this prayer to the last third portion of the night. Abu Hurairah reports that the Messenger of Allah said: "Our Lord descends to the lowest heaven during the last third of the night, inquiring: 'Who will call on Me so that I may respond to him? Who is asking something of Me so I may give it to him? Who is asking for My forgiveness so I may forgive him?"' This is related by the group. 'Amr ibn Abasah reports that he heard the Prophet say: "The closest that a slave comes to his Lord is during the middle of the latter portion of the night. If you can be among those who remember Allah, the Exalted One, at that time then do so." This is related by al-Hakim who grades it sahih according to Muslim's standards, and at-Tirmizhi calls it hasan sahih. AnNasa'i and Ibn Khuzaimah also recorded it. Abu Muslim asked Abu Zharr: "Which late-night prayer is the best?" He said: "I asked the Messenger of A...
