Al Quran & Hadith - الكتاب والسنة

Do you know 1400 years ago Somebody loved you? You weren't even born yet He cried for you, asking Allah SWT forgiveness. He wanted nothing less then Jannah for you. He had Wives, Children, Friends and Family Who adored Him, but it was your name He kept repeating, “Ya Ummati Ya Ummati” the definition of true love, Our Beloved Prophet Muhammad S.A.W. ❤️😢

Don't be a fan of Celebrity who doesn't even know you. Be a Fan of Prophet Muhammad S.A.W Who cried for you 1400 years ago.

When we are born adhan is given but no salat. When we pass away salat is prayed but no adhan. The adhan given at the time of our birth is the adhan for the salat prayed at the time of our death. That’s how short life is, the time between adhan and salat.

So hate none, love all, pray sincerely, forgive genuinely and pray your salats’ before the salat is prayed for you. Salat Is Our success.

May Allah SWT make it easy on us, forgive us, protect us, guide us and grant us Jannah. Ameen

Ibn Uthaymeen replied: *The fast of the one who abandons prayer is not valid and is not accepted from him, because the one who abandons prayer kafir Apostate* , because God Almighty says: (But if they repent, establish prayer, and give zakah, then they are your brothers in religion) At-Tawbah/11.

And the Prophet, may God bless him and grant him peace, said: (Between a man and polytheism and disbelief is the abandonment of prayer) Narrated by Muslim (82).

Ibn Uthaymeen, may God have mercy on him, said: Your supplication for your parents in the Tarawih prayer or the Tahajjud prayer is much better than slaughtering ten camels for him.

Ibn Usaimin Allah ya yi masa rahama, yana cewa: Addu'ar da kuke yiwa iyayenku a cikin Sallar Tarawihi ko sallar Tahajjudi ta fi a yanka masu rakuma goma.

(Majmu’at al-Bab al-Maftuh 115)

Abu Huraira (Allah be pleased with him) reported:

When any one of you gets up in the morning in the state of fasting, he should neither use obscene language nor do any act of ignorance. And if anyone slanders him or quarrels with him, he should say:" I am fasting, I am fasting."

عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ، - رضى الله عنه - رِوَايَةً قَالَ ‏ "‏ إِذَا أَصْبَحَ أَحَدُكُمْ يَوْمًا صَائِمًا فَلاَ يَرْفُثْ وَلاَ يَجْهَلْ فَإِنِ امْرُؤٌ شَاتَمَهُ أَوْ قَاتَلَهُ فَلْيَقُلْ إِنِّي صَائِمٌ إِنِّي صَائِمٌ ‏"‏ ‏.‏

Reference : Sahih Muslim 1151a

It was narrated that Abu Hurairah said:

"The Messenger of Allah said: 'There has come to you Ramadan, a blessed month, which Allah, the Mighty and Sublime, has enjoined you to fast. In it the gates of heavens are opened and the gates of Hell are closed, and every devil is chained up. In it Allah has a night which is better than a thousand months; whoever is deprived of its goodness is indeed deprived."'

أَخْبَرَنَا بِشْرُ بْنُ هِلاَلٍ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الْوَارِثِ، عَنْ أَيُّوبَ، عَنْ أَبِي قِلاَبَةَ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ، قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم ‏ "‏ أَتَاكُمْ رَمَضَانُ شَهْرٌ مُبَارَكٌ فَرَضَ اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ عَلَيْكُمْ صِيَامَهُ تُفْتَحُ فِيهِ أَبْوَابُ السَّمَاءِ وَتُغْلَقُ فِيهِ أَبْوَابُ الْجَحِيمِ وَتُغَلُّ فِيهِ مَرَدَةُ الشَّيَاطِينِ لِلَّهِ فِيهِ لَيْلَةٌ خَيْرٌ مِنْ أَلْفِ شَهْرٍ مَنْ حُرِمَ خَيْرَهَا فَقَدْ حُرِمَ ‏"‏ ‏.‏

🌷*Preparing for an AMAZING Ramadhaan*🌷

Imagine.
Someone really, really important is coming to visit you.

Surely, you would cook, clean, shop, prepare and plan everything for them, well ahead of time.

You would make sure they are comfortable and well taken care of.

Now imagine someone coming to visit you that is even more important than that, more precious, more valuable, more honorable.

The month that brings the fragrance of Jannah and the sweetness of Imaan.
the tears of Taubah and the forgiveness of your Lord.

And it's bringing with it a night that is equivalent in worship and reward, to more than a thousand months.

Wouldn't you want to prepare for that?

So what to do?

1️⃣ Mental Preparation

Prepare yourself mentally, physically, emotionally and spiritually for this great month.

Be *really EXCITED* for this upcoming month and be *absolutely determined* to do your *utmost BEST* and *exert* yourself for this magnificent month of Forgiveness and Mercy from your Lord.

RACE with one another and compete with each other for it!

After all, this is a time when the gates of Jannah are all WIDE open.
And all the gates of Jahannum are closed.

Yes, alhamdulillaah CLOSED.

2️⃣ Purify your intention

The next thing to do is to purify your niyyah from NOW.

You are going to fast because it is the ORDER of Allaah and NOT because it is culture or your family does so, or even because you want to lose weight.

Fasting is a deed absolutely loved by Allaah and you want to PLEASE Him.

3️⃣ The Qur'aan and You

Have full intention from now, to read as much of the Qur'aan as you can.

LOVE the Qur'aan.

Build a *close* relationship with it.

Realize that these are the Words of your Lord

Words that will take you to Jannah, your Ultimate Goal.

Don't just read it with your eyes.
Read it with your HEART.

Let it sink into your very SOUL.
*Savor* the joy and *cherish* the delight in reading the Book of Allaah.

*Taste* the sweetness of Imaan.

Don't be in a rush to quickly finish the reading.

Rather, take your time to ponder over the words and understand the meanings.

Don't think: "when am I going to finish this Surah?

Rather ask: when am I going to *implement* this Surah?"

Remember, nothing is sweeter and more pleasurable than the ayaat of the Qur'aan that you can understand.

4️⃣ Lots of Sujood

Prepare yourself to do plenty of sujood;
long, drawn out sujood, in Taraweeh and Tahajjud.

Feel *close* to your Rabb when you do that sajdah.

Realize that this is most HONORABLE position for you, placing the thing you value most, *your head*, on the ground, humbled before your Creator.
You are the slave and He is the Ultimate Master.

You are the 'abd and He is your Owner.

5️⃣ Dua, Dua and more Dua

Resolve from *today*, to make a LOT of dua.

Make a dua list.
Prepare it from now.

And when you sit down to break your fast, or when you stand in front of your Creator in Salaah, in Taraaweeh or in the middle of the night, or any time during the night or day, spread out those hands and ask al-Kareem, the Most Generous, the One Who gives to one and to all.

Make sincere, heartfelt dua whenever and wherever you can.

And don't forget to be thankful to the One Who gave you everything.

6️⃣ True repentance

Be ready from now to do abundant istighfaar, lots and lots of it.
Do it every single day.

In the darkness of the night, when the whole world is asleep.

Ar-Rahmaan is calling. Wouldn't you want to respond??

Bend your head with shame, and cry.
Cry like you've never cried before.
Ask for His forgiveness.
Make firm resolve never, ever, to go back to your sins; never, ever to do those bad deeds again.

7️⃣ Determination to change for the better

Most importantly, have FIRM DETERMINATION from this moment on, to continue all the good deeds and habits that you will develop during Ramadhaan to continue even after Ramadhaan is over.

Remember, you are not a good Muslim just during a special month of the year.
Rather you are a Muslim THROUGHOUT the three hundred and sixty five days.

🌷Other tips:

1. Make a schedule for all your activities during Ramadhaan and write it down.
Allocate specific times for reading Qur'aan, waking up for tahajjud, cooking, sleeping, etc and stick to it.

2. Get to know the rules of fasting from NOW, so that your fasting can be closest to the Sunnah and thus be more beloved and acceptable to Allaah.

3. CLARIFY any doubts that you may have and don't be afraid to ask a scholar.

4. CLEANSE your heart of any anger, hatred, grudges, etc from now.
And forgive EVERYONE.

5. FINISH up on your Ramadhaan and Eid preparation, cooking, shopping, etc. from NOW so that you can free up all the time during Ramadhaan for Ibaadah.

6. If you pay Zakaah during Ramadhaan, get it all calculated and worked out BEFORE the month starts.

7. DO NOT spend all day in the kitchen.
Remember this is a month of FASTING, not *FEASTING*.

Our focus is not “food”. It’s ibaadah.

🌷Conclusion

To conclude, think positive and have firm resolve.
Give it all you got.
Set your goals at the highest.
Don't settle for anything less than JANNAH!

Strive with all your effort to do your best so that this will be an amazing, awe-inspiring, heart-stopping experience of a lifetime....
Your best Ramadhaan EVER!

And Allaah knows best.

روى مسلم في صحيحه عن بعض أزواج النبي ﷺ عن النبي ﷺ قال: من أتى عرافا فسأله عن شيء فصدقه لم تقبل له صلاة أربعين يوما.

وعن أبي هريرة  عن النبي ﷺ قال: من أتى كاهنا فصدقه بما يقول فقد كفر بما أنزل على محمد ﷺ رواه أبو داود.

Muslim narrated in his Sahih on the authority of some of the wives of the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) that the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said: “Whoever goes to a fortune-teller and asks him about something and believes him, his prayer will not be accepted for forty days . ” And on the authority of Abu Hurairah ( may Allaah be pleased with him ) that the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said: “Whoever goes to a fortune-teller and believes what he says has disbelieved in what was revealed to Muhammad (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) . ” Narrated by Abu Dawud.

And the four narrators and al-Hakim, who said: It is saheeh according to their conditions, on the authority of Abu Hurairah: “Whoever goes to a fortune-teller or a soothsayer and believes what he says has disbelieved in what was revealed to Muhammad (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him)”.

تقبل الله منا جميعا صالح الأعمال فى رمضان و بعده

Abu Hurairah (May Allah be pleased with him) said:

The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said, "The gates of Jannah are opened on Mondays and Thursdays, and then every slave (of Allah) is granted forgiveness if he does not associate anything with Allah in worship. But the person in whose heart there is rancour against his (Muslim) brother, they will not be pardoned and with regard to them it will be said twice: 'Hold both of them until they are reconciled with each other."'

[Muslim].

وعن أبي هريرة رضي الله عنه أن رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم قال‏:‏ ‏"‏تُفتح أبواب الجنة يوم الاثنين ويوم الخميس، فيغفر لكل عبد لا يشرك بالله شيئًا، إلا رجلا كانت بينه وبين أخيه شحناء فيقال‏:‏ أنظروا هذين حتى يصطلحا‏!‏ أنظروا هذين حتى يصطلحا‏!‏‏"‏ ‏(‏‏(‏رواه مسلم‏)‏‏)‏‏.‏ وفي رواية له ‏"‏تعرض الأعمال في كل يوم خميس واثنين‏"‏ وذكر نحوه‏.‏

Jabir bin 'Abdullah (May Allah bepleased with him) reported:

Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said, "Beware of injustice, for oppression will be darkness on the Day of Resurrection; and beware of stinginess because it doomed those who were before you. It incited them to shed blood and treat the unlawful as lawful."

[Muslim]

وعن جابر رضي الله عنه أن رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم قال‏:‏ ‏ "‏اتقوا الظلم، فإن الظلم ظلمات يوم القيامة، واتقوا الشح فإن الشح أهلك من كان قبلكم، حملهم على أن سفكوا دماءهم واستحلوا محارمهم‏"‏ ‏(‏‏(‏رواه مسلم‏)‏‏)‏‏.‏
