I knelt to pray but not for long,
I had too much to do.
I had to hurry and get to work
For bills would soon be due.
So I knelt and said a hurried prayer,
And jumped up off my knees.
My Muslim duty was now done
My soul could rest at ease.
All day long I had no time
To spread a word of cheer.
No time to speak of Allah to friends,
They'd laugh at me I'd fear.
No time, no time, too much to do,
That was my constant cry,
No time to give to souls in need
But at last the time, the time to die.
I went before the Lord,
I came, I stood with downcast eyes.
For in his hands God held a book;
It was the book of life.
God looked into his book and said
Your name I cannot find.
I once was going to write it down...
But
never found the time"

Now do you have the time to pass it on?


Ya Allah
Today, upon a bus,
I saw a girl with golden hair.
and wished I was as fair.
When suddenly she rose to leave,
I saw her hobble down the aisle.
She had one leg and wore a crutch.
But as she passed, a smile.
Ya Allah, forgive me when I whine.
I have 2 legs, the world is mine.

I stopped to buy some candy.
The lad who sold it had such charm.
I talked with him, he seemed so glad.
If I were late, it'd do no harm.
And as I left, he said to me,
"I thank you, you've been so kind.
It's nice to talk with folks like
you.
You see," he said, "I'm blind."
Ya Allah, forgive me when I whine.
I have 2 eyes, the world is mine.

Later while walking down the street,
I saw a child with eyes of blue.
He stood and watched the others play.
He did not know what to do.
I stopped a moment and then I said,
"Why don't you join the others, dear?"
He looked ahead without a word.
And then I knew, he couldn't hear.
Ya Allah, forgive me when I whine.
I have 2 ears, the world is mine.

With feet to take me where I'd go.
With eyes to see the sunset's glow.
With ears to hear what I'd know.
Ya Allah, forgive me when I whine.
I've been blessed indeed, the world is mine

Plz Remember Me In Your Prayers





MAY ALLAH BLESS YOU ALL (AMIN)
.

You will be happy that you read this all the way through


As you got up this morning, I watched you, and hoped you would
talk to me, even if it was just a few words, asking my opinion or
thanking me for something good that happened in your life
yesterday. But I noticed you were too busy, trying to find the
right outfit to wear. When you ran around the house getting ready,
I knew there would be a few minutes for you to stop and say hello,
but you were too busy. At one point you had to wait, fifteen
minutes with nothing to do except sit in a chair. Then I saw you
spring to your feet. I thought you wanted to talk to me, but you
ran to the phone and called a friend to get the latest gossip
instead. I watched patiently all day long. With all your
activities I guess you were
too busy to say anything to me.

I noticed that before lunch you looked around, may be you felt
embarrassed to talk to me, that is why you didn't bow your head.
You glanced three or four tables o! ver and you noticed some of
your friends talking to me briefly before they ate, but you
didn't. That's okay. There is still more time left, and I hope
that you will talk to me yet. You went home and it seems as if you
had lots of things to do. After a few of them were done, you
turned on the TV. I don't know if you like TV or not, just about
anything goes there and you spend lot of time each day in front of
it not thinking about anything, just enjoying the show. I waited
patiently again as you watched the TV and ate your meal, but again
you didn't talk to me.





Bedtime I guess you felt too tired. After you said good night to
your family you popped into bed and fell
asleep in no time. That's okay because you may not realize that I
am always there for you. I've got patience, more than you will
ever know. I even want to teach you how to be patient with others
as well.

I love you so much that I wait everyday for a nod, prayer or
thought or a thankful part of your heart. It is hard to have a
one-sided conversation. Well, you are getting up once again. And
once again I will wait, with nothing but love for you. Hoping that
today you will give me some time. Have a nice day!



Your friend, ALLAH

Some very interesting findings of Dr. Tariq Al Swaidan:

Tariq Al Swaidan discovered some verses in the Holy Qur'an that mention one thing is equal to another, i.e. men are equal to women. Although this makes sense grammatically, the astonishing fact is that the number of times the word man appears in the Qur'an is 24 and the number of times the word woman appears is also 24, therefore not only is this phrase correct in the grammatical sense but also true mathematically, i.e. 24 = 24.

Upon further analysis of various verses, he discovered that this is consistent throughout the whole Qur'an, where it says one thing is like another. See below for astonishing result of the words mentioned number of times in Arabic Qur'an:

Dunia (one name for life) 115. Aakhirat (one name for the life after this world) 115

Malaika (Angels) 88 . Shayteen (Satan) 88

Life 145 .... Death 145

Benefit 50 . Corrupt 50

People 50 . Messengers 50

Eblees (king of devils) 11 . Seek refuge from Eblees 11

Museebah (calamity) 75 . Thanks 75

Spending (Sadaqah) 73 . Satisfaction 73

People who are mislead 17 . Dead people 17

Muslimeen 41 . Jihad 41

Gold 8 . Easy life 8

Magic 60 . Fitnah (dissuasion, misleading) 60

Zakat (Taxes Muslims pay to the poor) 32 . Barakah (Increasing or blessings of wealth) 32

Mind 49 . Noor 49

Tongue 25 . Sermon 25

Desite 8 . Fear 8

Speaking publicly 18 . Publicising 18

Hardship 114 .... Patience 114

Muhammed 4 . Sharee'ah (Muhammed's teachings) 4

Man 24. Woman 24

And amazingly enough have a look how many times the following words appear:

Salat 5,

Month 12,

Day 365,

Sea 32, Land 13

Sea + land = 32+13= 45

Sea = 32/45*100=71.11111111%

Land = 13/45*100 = 28.88888889%

Sea + land =100.00%

Modern science has only recently proven that the water covers 71.111% of the earth, while the land covers 28.889%.

Is this a coincidence?
Question is that Who taught Prophet Muhammed (PBUH) all this?

Reply automatically comes in mind that ALMIGHTY ALLAH taught him this.
As the Qur'an also tells us this. Aayah 87 of Suraa (Chapter) Al-Anbia \ para 17:

LA ILAHA ILA ANTA SUBHANAKA INI KUNTU MINA ZALIMEEN.

During the next 60 seconds, stop whatever you are doing, and take this opportunity. all wat u have to do is to read it n spread it.. (Literally, it is only 1 minute).

Why Islam?

Islam is the second largest religion in the world (after Christianity), the fastest growing religion in the world, and statistics indicate it will soon be the largest religion in America. Islam is extremely tolerant of other religions. The Qur'an clearly and strongly states that "there is to be no compulsion in religion" (2:256), and that God has created not one but many nations and peoples. Many passages underscore the diversity of humankind. The Qur'an teaches that God deliberately created a world of diversity :
"O humankind, We have created you male and female and made you nations and tribes, so that you might come to know one another."
(49:13)
Since the consequences of false religion are extremely grave, the true religion of God must be universally understandable and attainable: it should not be confined to any people, place or time. There can not be conditions like baptism, belief in a man, as a savior etc for a believer to enter paradise. Within the central principle of Islam and in its definition, that is to surrender one's will to the will of God, lies the roots of Islam's universality. Whenever man comes to the realization that Allah is one and distinct from His creation, and submits himself to Allah, he becomes a Muslim in body and spirit and is eligible for paradise. Thus, anyone at anytime in the most remote region of the world can become a Muslim, a follower of God's religion, Islam, by merely rejecting the worship of creation and by turning to Allah (God) alone. It should be noted however, that the recognition of and submission to Allah requires that one chooses between right and wrong and such a choice implies accountability and responsibility. Man will be held responsible for his choices, and, as such, he should try his utmost to do good and avoid evil. The ultimate good is the worship of Allah alone and the ultimate evil is the worship of His creation along with or instead of Allah.

The Meaning of Ramadan




FASTING during Ramadan was ordained during the second year of Hijra. Why not earlier? In Makkah the economic conditions of the Muslims were bad. They were being persecuted. Often days would go by before they had anything to eat. It is easy to skip meals if you don't have any. Obviously fasting would have been easier under the circumstances. So why not then?

The answer may be that Ramadan is not only about skipping meals. While fasting is an integral and paramount part of it, Ramadan offers a comprehensive program for our spiritual overhaul. The entire program required peace and security that was offered by Madinah.

Yes, Ramadan is the most important month of the year. It is the month that the believers await with eagerness. At the beginning of Rajab — two full months before Ramadan — the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) used to supplicate thus : "O Allah! Bless us during Rajab and Sha'ban, and let us reach Ramadan (in good health)."
During Ramadan the believers get busy seeking Allah's mercy, forgiveness, and protection from Hellfire. This is the month for renewing our commitment and re-establishing our relationship with our Creator. It is the spring season for goodness and virtues when righteousness blossoms throughout the Muslim communities. If we combine all the blessings of the other 11 months, they would not add up to the blessings of Ramadan. It offers every Muslim an opportunity to strengthen his Iman, purify his heart and soul, and to remove the evil effects of the sins committed by him.

"Any one who fasts during this month with purity of belief and with expectation of a good reward (from his Creator), will have his previous sins forgiven," said Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him). He further said: "Anyone who stands in prayers during its nights with purity of belief and expectation of a reward, will have his previous sins forgiven." As other Ahadith tell us, the rewards for good deeds are multiplied manifold during Ramadan.

Along with the possibility of a great reward, there is the risk of a terrible loss. If we let any other month pass by carelessly, we just lost a month. If we do the same during Ramadan, we have lost everything. The person who misses just one day's fast without a legitimate reason cannot really make up for it even if he were to fast everyday for the rest of his life. And of the three persons that Prophet (peace be upon him) cursed, one is the unfortunate Muslim who finds Ramadan in good health but does not use the opportunity to seek Allah's mercy.

One who does not fast is obviously in this category, but so also is the person who fasts and prays but makes no effort to stay away from sins or attain purity of the heart through numerous opportunities offered by Ramadan. The Prophet (peace be upon him) warned us: "There are those who get nothing from their fast but hunger and thirst. There are those who get nothing from their nightly prayers but loss of sleep."

In addition to fasting, mandatory Salat, and extra Traweeh prayer, Muslims should spend the whole month in acts of worship like voluntary prayers, recitation of Qur'an, Dhikr etc. After mentioning that this has been the tradition of the pious people of this Ummah throughout the centuries, Abul Hasan Ali Nadvi notes: "I have seen with my own eyes such ulema and mashaikh who used to finish recitation of the entire Qur'an everyday during Ramadan. They spent almost the entire night in prayers. They used to eat so little that one wondered how could they endure all this. These greats valued every moment of Ramadan and would not waste any of it in any other pursuit...Watching them made one believe the astounding stories of Ibada and devotion of our elders recorded by history."

This emphasis on these acts of worship may sound strange — even misplaced — to some. It requires some explanation. We know that the term Ibada (worship and obedience) in Islam applies not only to the formal acts of worship and devotion, but it also applies to worldly acts when performed in obedience to Shariah and with the intention of pleasing Allah. Thus a believer going to work is performing Ibada when he seeks Halal income to discharge his responsibility as a bread-winner for the family. However a distinction must be made between the two. The first category consists of direct Ibada, acts that are required for their own sake. The second category consists of indirect Ibada — worldly acts that become Ibada through proper intention and observation of Shariah. While the second category is important for it extends the idea of Ibada to our entire life, there is also a danger because by their very nature these acts can camouflage other motives. (Is my going to work really Ibada or am I actually in the rat race?). Here the direct Ibada comes to the rescue. Through them we can purify our motives, and re-establish our relationship with Allah.

Islam does not approve of monasticism. It does not ask us to permanently isolate ourselves from this world, since our test is in living here according to the Commands of our Creator. But it does ask us to take periodic breaks from it. The mandatory Salat (five daily prayers) is one example. For a few minutes every so many hours throughout the day, we leave the affairs of this world and appear before Allah to remind ourselves that none but He is worthy of worship and of our unfaltering obedience. Ramadan takes this to the next higher plane, providing intense training for a whole month.

This spirit is captured in I'tikaf, a unique Ibada associated with Ramadan, in which a person gives up all his normal activities and enters a mosque for a specific period. There is great merit in it and every Muslim community is encouraged to provide at least one person who will perform I'tikaf for the last ten days of Ramadan. But even those who cannot spare ten days are encouraged to spend as much time in the mosque as possible.

Through direct Ibada we "charge our batteries"; the indirect ones allow us to use the power so accumulated in driving the vehicle of our life. Ramadan is the month for rebuilding our spiritual strength. How much we benefit from it is up to us.

The Goals of Fasting


In the Name of Allah, the Most Gracious, The Most Merciful
Assalamu alaykum wa rahmatullahi wa barakatuhu

The Goals of Fasting
The Muslim Creed (Vol. 9, Issue 10), Sha`ban 1422
Published by The Daar of Islamic Heritage

The acts of worship that the Muslims practice seek to achieve
certain goals and benefits that Allah wants His slaves to acquire
knowledge in them and to comprehend and achieve them. Among these
acts of worship is fasting during the lunar month of Ramadhan, which
has several goals that the Muslims must strive to achieve with his
heart and by his actions. These goals are as follows:

1. Achieving At-Taqwa, that is, the fear from Allah. Allah said,
what translated means, "O you who believe! Observing As-Sawm
(fasting) is prescribed for you as it was prescribed for those
before you, that you may become Al-Muttaqun (the pious)." [2:183].
Hence, fasting is a means to achieve At-Taqwa. In fact, all acts of
worship and Tawhid are methods and means to achieve At-Taqwa, as
Allah has said, what translated means, "O mankind! Worship your Lord
(Allah), Who created you and those who were before you so that you
may become Al-Muttaqun. " [2:21]

2. Acquiring the rewards of Allah. Al-Bukhari and Muslim narrated
that Abu Hurayrah related to the Prophet, that he said, what
translated means, "Allah the Exalted said, 'All the deeds of the son
of Adam are his, except for As-Siyam, for it is Mine and I will
reward for it.'"

3. The Prophet also said, "The Sa-im has two happy moments: when he
breaks his fast he is happy, and when he meets his Lord he is happy
because of his fast." [Al-Bukhari and Muslim]. About his
saying, "When he breaks his fast he is happy," and Imam Muslim's
addition, "Because of his breaking his fast," Imam Al-Qurtubi
commented, "It means he is happy because his hunger and thirst have
ended, since he is allowed to break his fast. This happiness is
natural and this is apparently the desired meaning. It was also said
that his being happy is because of his breaking the fast, means that
he has fulfilled his fast, and as a culmination for his practicing
the acts of worship. His saying, 'And when he meets his Lord he is
happy because of his fast,' means he is happy because of the rewards
for fasting and its complete awards.'"

4. As-Sawm purifies the soul and helps it acquire the habit of
obeying Allah and His Messenger by defeating the desires of the
heart. Fasting teaches refraining from following the desires because
the soul of the Sa-im becomes obedient to Allah's commands. Also,
Satan has a stronger hold over the souls that often obey the
desires. When the soul abandons its desires, it will become more
difficult for Satan to have a hold on the heart.

5. Being saved from the Fire, for the Prophet said, what translated
means, "And Allah has those whom he frees from the Fire, and this
occurs every night (meaning in Ramadhan)." [At-Tirmithi & ibn Majah]

6. Ash-Shafa`ah (the right of intercession) . The Prophet said, "As-
Siyam and the Quran will intercede on behalf of the slave. As-Siyam
says, 'O Lord! I prevented him from food and obeying his desires in
the morning. Therefore, accept my Shafa`ah on his behalf.' And the
Quran says, 'I prevented him from sleeping at night. Therefore,
accept my Shafa`ah on his behalf,' and they will be accepted as
intercessors. '" [Ahmad, Al-Hakim & Al-Bayhaqi].

7. Having the sins forgiven. There is no doubt that fasting directs
to having one's sins forgiven and erased. The Prophet said, "The
five prayers, and from Friday to the next Friday, and Ramadhan to
the next Ramadhan, are erasers for what occurs between them, as long
as major sins are avoided." [Muslim]. Also, the Messenger of Allah
said, what translated means, "Whoever fasts Ramadhan with Iman and
Ih.tisab, will have his previous sins forgiven." [Al-Bukhari &
Muslim]. Imam Ahmad and An-Nasaii added the following to the above
narration, "And also what will occur later on (meaning future sins,
as well)." "With Iman" entails fasting while believing with the
heart in the obligation of fasting during Ramadhan. As for Ih.tisab,
it means that one anticipates the reward and his fasting is
therefore only for the sake of Allah and not to imitate his people
and community or for any other worldly gain.

FASTING, TARWEH AND ITIKAAF DURING RAMADAN


Fasting

Fasting, like Salaat and Zakaat, is fundamental
institution of Islam. The Fardh Fasting is a practice of vital
importance. Allah Ta'ala states in the Qur'aan Shareef:

"O people of Imaan! Fasting has been decreed
compulsory for you."

The importance of fasting is abundantly established by
numerous narrations of the Qur'aan and Hadith. It is clear from
the narrations of the Qur'aan and Hadith that for attaining salvation, Salaat, Zakaat and Hajj are not sufficient.

It is essential to fast the Fardh fasts of Ramadhaan.

Fasting is distinguished from other acts of ibaadat by
its inconspicuous nature. Whereas other acts of ibaadat,
e.g. Salaat, Zakaat, Hajj, are conspicuous in varying degrees.

Fasting is totally concealed. Only Allah Ta'ala is aware if one is
fasting or not. Only those who truly have the love or fear of Allah Ta'ala in their hearts will fast.

Experience proves that weakness in love and fear for
Allah could be remedied by engaging in such acts which produce
muhabbat (love) and azmat (respect honour and awe). Fasting is greatly efficacious in this regard. Thus weakness in one's Imaan and love for Allah is strengthened by fasting. One in whose heart the love and fear of Allah Ta'ala become embedded, will be strong and
steadfast on the Deen. The natural effect of fasting is to produce
strength in one's Deen.

This effect is referred to in the following two hadith:

1. Hadhrat Abu Hurairah (radiallahu anhu) narrates
that Allha Ta'ala said:

"Hadhrat Abu Hurairah (radiallahu anhu) narrates that
Rasulullah (sallallahu alayhi wasallam) said that Allah Ta'ala said:

"All good deeds are for the one who renders them, but
fasting. Fasting is exclusively for Me (Allah)."

(Bukhari)

2. Rasulullah (sallallahu alayhi wasallam) said that
Allah Ta'ala said:

"The one who fasts, abstains from eating,
drinking and ** relations for My Sake."

Another narration states that
Allah Ta'ala said that the fasting person leaves off his desires
and pleasures for His Sake. (Ibn Khuzaimah).

Fasting being exclusively for the sake of Allah Ta'ala
reflects the high degree of sincerity underlying the act of
ibaadat. The high degree of sincerity coupled with abstention form evil and futility produce glitter and strength in the Imaan of the
fasting person.

Great emphasis is therefore laid on fasting. This is
very clear from the fact that Allah Ta'ala described the act of man's
fasting as being only for Him (Allah Ta'ala).

1. Hadhrat Abu Ummaamah (radiallahu anhu) narrates
that he asked Rasulullah (sallallahu alayhi wasallam) to impose on
him some deed of great significance Rasulullah (sallallahu alayhi
wasallam) said.

Adopt fasting, for there is no act greater than it.

Hadhrat Abu Ummaamah repeated his request second time Rasulullah
(sallallahu alayhi wasallam) again advised him to adopt fasting.
Hadhrat Abu Ummaamah put forward his request again, a third time,
and Rasulullah (sallallahu alayhi wasallam) said:

"Adopt fasting, for there is no deed equal to it."

(Nisaai, Ibn Khuzaimah)

The superiority of fasting is in relation to certain
special characteristics of fasting such as degree of
sincerity, efficacy in strengthening weak Imaan, inculcating love and fear of Allah and its acting as a barrier against sin. These special benefits of fasting are attainable only if one fasts consciously and observes the respects and rights of fasting.

2. Rasulullah (sallallahu alayhi wasallam) said:

Fasting is a shield and a powerful fortress."

(Ahmad, Baihaqi)

Like fasting is a shield of protection against
internal (spiritual) diseases, viz., sins. so too, is it a protection
against external sicknesses, i.e. physical illness. In the majority of cases, physical sickness is the result of excessive eating.
This cause is arrested in fasting.

3. Hadhrat Abu Hurairah (radiallahu anhu) narrates
that Rasulullah (sallallahu alayhi wasallam) said:
"Every person has a zakaat (to pay) and the zakaat of
the body is fasting."

(Ibn Majah)

Like wealth is purified by means of paying Zakaat, the
body is purified by means of fasting. Zakaat is the
elimination of impurities from wealth while Fasting is the
elimination of impurities from the body. And, the role of fasting as
indicated already, operates in both the physical and spiritual
spheres of man's life.

4. Hadhrat Abu Hurairah (radiallahu anhu) narrates
that Rasulullah (sallallahu alayhi wasallam) said:

"Keep fasting; you will remain healthy."

(Tibrani)

Fasting produces both physical and spiritual health.
Fasting produces spiritual peace and exhiliration.

5. Hadhrat Abu Hurairah (radiallahu anhu) in a lengthy
hadith, narrates that Rasulullah (sallallahu alayhi wasallam)
said:

"The fasting person experiences two (occasions of)
delights: At the time of iftaar and at the time when he will meet his
Rabb."

(Bukhari)

During the month of Ramadhan an additional ibaadat,
viz., Taraaweeh Salaat, has also been decreed. The performance of
Taraweeh is Sunnatul Muakkadah which is an act, the performance of
which is obligatory although it may be omitted for a valid
Shar'I reason. One who is neglectful of Sunnatul Muakkadah is guilty of sin and is termed in the Shariah a `faasiq'. Taraweeh reduces
sleep to some extent. Sleep is an act highly pleasing and loved by
the nafs.

Hence, by means of Taraaweeh Salaat one strives
against the nafs and in so doing the nafs is disciplined.
This ibaadat of Taraweeh is an act which is greatly efficient in the spiritual training of the nafs. During the month of Ramadhan, Allah Ta'ala hs united two great and highly efficacious spiritual exercises in the form of fasting and Taraaweeh Salaat.

6. Rasulullah (sallallahu alayhi wasallam) said:

"Allah Ta'ala has ordained fasting in Ramadhan
compulsory, and I have decreed (by the command of Allah) wakefulness at night (i.e.Taraaweeh, etc.) Sunnat. "Whoever in the state of
Imaan and the belief of thawaab fasts in Ramadhan and stays awake at
night (i.e. for Taraweeh), emerges from sin, purified as the day
when his mother gave birth to him."

(Nisaai)

7. Hadhrat Abdullah Bin Umar (radiallahu anhu)
narrates that Rasulullah (sallallahu alayhi wasallam) said.
"Fasting and the Qur'aan will intercede on behalf of
one on the Day of Qiyaamah. The Fast will proclaim: `O Allah! I
prevented him form eating and carnal desire. Therefore, for my sake
accept my intercession on his behalf.' The Qur'aan will
proclaim:

`I prevented him from sleep. Therefore, intercession of both will
be accepted."

(Ahmad, Tibrani, Hakim)

8. In a lengthy aayat Allah Ta'ala says:
"For the fasting man and for fasting woman …… Allah
has prepared a great reward and forgiveness. "

(Surah Ahzaab)

9. Hadhrat Abu Hurairah (adiallahu anhu(, in a lengthy
hadith, narrates that Rasulullah (sallallahu alayhi wasallam)
said:

"I swear by that Being in Whose possession is the life
of Muhammad! The odour of the mouth of a fasting person in sweeter
to Allah Ta'ala than the fragrance of musk."

(Bukhari)

10. Hadhrat Ibn Umar (radiallahu anhu) narrates, in a
lengthy hadith, that Rasulullah (sallallahu alayhi wasallam)
said:

"Fasting is exclusively for Allah Ta'ala. The thawaab
of it (being limitless) no one knows besides Allah Ta'ala."

(Tibrani Baihaqi)

11. Hadhrat Abu Saeed Khurdi (radiallahu anhu)
narrates that Rasulullah (sallallahu alayhi wasallam) said:

"The Doors of the Heavens are opened up on the first
night of Ramadhan. Not a single Door (among the Doors of
Heavens) is then closed until the last night of Ramadhan. For every
Salaat performed (this refers to Taraaweeh Salaat) during the nights of Ramadhan, Allah Ta'ala records one and a half thousand good
deeds for every Sajdah (of that Salaat). And, for the fasting person,
Allah Ta'ala creates in Jannat a mansion of red Ya'koot (a precious
stone in Jannat). This mansion will have seven thousand
entrances. (So huge will be these entrances that in each entrance will be located) a palace of gold adorned with red Ya'koot. When the
Muslim fasts the first day of Ramadhan, Allah Ta'ala forgives all his
sins committed from the first of the previous Ramadhan. Daily (i.e.
during Ramadhan) from the time of Fajr Salat until sunset,
seventy thousands Malaaikah supplicate for his forgiveness. In
return for every Sajdah which he (the fasting person) makes of
any Salaat, Whether during the day or night, he will obtain (such
a wonderful) tree so huge) that a horseman will take five hundred
years to pass under its shade."

(Baihaqi)

12. Hadhrat Salmaan (radiallahu anhu) narrates that
during the last Juma' of the month of Sha'baan Rasulullah (sallallahu
alayhi wasallam) recited a Khutbah in which he said

"O People! An auspicious month has dawned over you.
In that month is a night which is susperior to a thousand months (i.e.ibaadat in this night is superior to the ibaadat rendered in a
thousand months.

Allah Ta'ala has made compulsory fasting in this month
and has decreed fasting in this month and has decreed
wakefulness at night (i.e. Tarawaeeh Salaat) Sunnat. A Nafl (non-obligatory

or optional) act rendered in this month for attaining proximity to
Allah, is equal to a Fardh act rendered in other months. A Fardh
act rendered in this month is equal to seventy Fardh acts of other
months.

Whoever gives to a fasting person something for
iftaar, his sins will be forgiven and he will be saved from Jahannum:
he obtains as much thawaab as the fasting person (to whom he had
given something for iftaar) while the thawaab of the person is not
reduced in any way."

The people asked: `O Rasulullah! All of us do not have
the means to give something for the iftaar to another. (They were
at the time under the impression that Rasulullah (sallallahu
alayhi wasallam) referred to a full meal.) Rasulullah (sallallahu
alayhi wasallam) said:

"This thawaab is even for the man who gives another a
date, a drink of water or milk (for iftaar)" (Ibn Khuzaimah)
Another special ibaadat during the month of Ramadhan
is I'tikaaf during the last ten days. I'tikaaf during Ramadhan is
an ibaadat which belongs to the class of Sunnat known as Sunnatul
Kifaayah.

This ibaadat is a collective Sunnat upon all. However,
if a few, even one perons, renders the I'tikaaf, the Sunnat
obligation will be discharged on behalf of the whole community. The
Ibaadat of I'tikaaf consists of secluding oneself inside the Musjid for the last ten days of Ramadhan. The time has to be passed in
ibaadat. Some ahadith regarding the significance of I'tikaaf are enumerated
hereunder.

1. Hadhrat Ali Ibn Hussain narrates from his father
that Rasulullah (sallallahu alayhi wasallam) said:
"He who observes the ten days I'tikaaf during Ramadhan
will obtain the thawaab of two Hajj and two Umrah."

2. Hadhrat Ibn Abbas (radiallahu anhu) narrates that
Rasulullah (sallallahu alayhi wasallam) said in regard to those
who observe I'tikaaf:

"They are prevented from all sins and they obtain
thawaab as if they are rendering all good deeds." (Mishkaat)
By the practice of I'tikaaf, one gains the opportunity
of continuous residence in the Musjid. The significance of remaining
in the Musjid for Ibaadat has already been explained in Rooh number
12. Women who intend to observe I'tikaaf should do so
at home. They should seclude themselves in a particular place at
home.

The special acts of Ibaadat of the month of Ramadhan
terminate with the coming of Eid. The hadith explains great
significance of the Day of Eid as well. In a lengthy hadith, Hadhrat Anas (radiallahu anhu) narrates that Rasulullah (sallallahu alayhi wasallam) said:

"When Eid arrives, Allah Ta'ala addresses the
Malaaikah:
`They (Muslims) have fulfilled My Fardh. They have emerged
to make dua. I take oath by My Splendour, by My Grandeur, by My Grace
and by My Loftiness that I will most certainly accept their
petition.'

Allah Ta'ala then proclaims to the Believers"
`Return! I have forgiven you and I have exchanged your
evil deeds with virtues.
They thus return from the Musalla (whenever the Eid
Salaat was performed) forgiven."

Some Golden lines on RAMADAN


Ramadan is approaching, the pious and righteous cannot await it's arrival.Awaiting anxiously the special guest.take heed oh followers of Mohammad SAW. Reflect on your course of action from now
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Very soon everyone will be just curious what do u have for Iftar?Dates & laban will not be enough. There wan't be enough space on ur dining table to accomodate the dishes. But have u thought of those who r not sure of where there next meal will come from?Do ur part and spend money in the way of Allah & provide Iftar for full month for a needy person.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

When the servent become heedless of the consequences of sins, he finds pleasure with sins is more harful than perpetrating the sin itself. The believer can never have any pleasure from sins. He feels grief in his heart when he commits a sin. When the heart becomes empty from such grief and one is happy with sins, then one should question his faith and weep for the death of his heart
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Whoever seeks forgiveness from Allah often, thenAllah makes for him a good ending for every matter of concern and provides for him a way out of every tight situation.(Hadith)

Ramdan Shareef Main Her Nimaz -e- Isha k Baad Rozana Teen(3) Martba Kalma Taiyba Parhnay Ki Bohat Fazeelat Hai

Awal Martba Parhnay Se Gunahon Ki magfirat Ho Gi

2 Martba Parhnay Se Dozakh se Aazad Ho Ga


3 Martba arhnay se Janat Ka Mustahiq Ho ga

Ramdan Special

As Salam-o-Alaykum warehmatullah wbarkato hu k
Aap Sab k Sath yeh sab share kar raha hoon ta k
aap sab ziyada se ziyada sawab kama sakein
aur mere liye bhi Dua kar sakein so Allah ka naam le ker Shuru karta hoon

"Ramdan Shareef Rehmaton 'Barkaton Aur Magfirat ka Maheena"
Allah k Pyare Nabi Hazrat Muhammad Mustuffa (S.A.A.W.W) Ne ramdan ul-Mubarak ki Fazeelat
k Baray mein irshad Farmaya K Jis Aimaan k Sath Aur Suwab Samjhtay hue
Ramdan -ul-Mubarak k Rozay rakhay Us k Guzashta Gunnah Muwaf kar diy jayein gay (Subhan Allah)
Aur

Jis Ne aimaan k sath sawab smajhtay hue Ramdan-ul-Mubarak mein Qiyam(Traweeh wagairah parhi) To
us k peechlay gunnah muwaf kar diye jayein gay
(Subhan Allah)

Aur

Jis Ne "SHAB -e-QADAR" main qiyam kiya aimaan k sath aur sawab smajh ker
Us k Ab tak k Gunnah Muwaf akr diye jayein gay (Subhan Allah)

Bukhari -o-muslim abi hareerah ne farmaya Fakhar do Alam ne k Rozay aur Quran Banday k liye Sifarish karein gay.
Rozay kahein gay"Ae Rab 'Hum ne is ko din mein khanay se aur deegar khwahishat se rok diya
lihaza is k haq mein hamari Sifarish qabool Farma lijiye
Quraan Arz kare ga k "Main ne Raat ko isay Sonay na Diya Lihaza is k Haq Mein Meri Sifarish qabool kijiye
Chunacha Dono ki Sifarish qabool kar li jaye gi

Sehri K mutaliq Rasool Akram (S.A.A.W.W) ka Irshad -e-Grami hai k Sehri main Barkat Hai Use Hargiz Na Choro Agar Kuch Nahi To Is Waqt Pani Ka Aik Ghunt He P liya Jaye Q K sehri Mein Khanay Peenay Walon Per Allah Rehmat Farmata Hai Aur Farishtay Un K Liye Du -e- Khair Karte Hain

Iftaar K Baray Mein Hazrat Abu Hareerah Se Ruwaiyat hai k Rasool Allah (S.A.A.W.W) ne Farmaya K
Allah Tala Ka Irshad Hai k Apnay Bandon Mein Mujhe Woh Banda Ziyada Mahboob Hai Jo Roza k Iftaar Mein jaldi Kare(Yani Garoob Aaftaab K Baad Bilkul Der Na Kare)

Hazraat Umar (Razi Allah Tala Unhu) Se Riwaiyat Hai k Rasool Akram (S.A.A.W.W.) ne Irshad Farmaya k Rozay Daar ki Aik bhi Dua Iftaar k waqt Mustard Nahi Hoti (Subhan Allah)

Hazrat Anas Se Ruwaiyat hai k rasool Allah (S.A.A.W.W.) Magrib Ki Nimaz se Pehle Chand Tar khajooron se Roza Iftaar farmatay thay Agar Tar Khajoorein Barwaqt Majood na Hoti To Khushk Khajoorein(Chuwaray) se Roza Iftaar Farmatay'
Woh bhi Na Hoti To Chaand Ghunth Pani P Letay

(Jamia Tarmazi) Mein farmaya Rasool Allah (S.A.A.W.W) ne k Jab Tum Roza Kholnay Lago To Khajoor Se Iftaar Karo'
Q k Khajoor Sirapa -e- Barkat Hai
Agar Khajoor Na Milay To Pani Se Roza Khol le Q k Woh (Zahir -o-Batin) ko paaK karne wala hai


Roza Chorne K Nuqsaan K baray mein Hazraat Abu Hareerah Se Ruwaiyat Hai K rasool Allah (S.A.A.W.W) ne Irshaad Farmaya Jo Aadmi Sqafar Wagairah ki Sharayi Rukhsar K bagair Aur bemari jaise Kiis Azar K Bagair
Ramdaan ka Aik Roza Bhi Chore Ga Woh Agar Is K Bjaye Umar Bhaar Bhi Rozay Rakhay To Jo Chiz Faut Ho gayi Woh Puri Waa Nahi Ho sakti

(Musnad Ahamd' Muarif Hadees) Farmaya Aap (S.A.A.W.W) ne k jis ne Ramdaan K Rozay rakhay Aur us k baad 6
(Nafal) Rozay Shawak(EID) k maheenay mein rakhe To (Puray Saal k Rozay Rakhnay ka Sawab milay ga Agar Hamesha
aisa he kiya kare To Goya Sari Umer k Rozay Rakhe


"Wizaif"
Mah-e- Ramdaan ul Mubarak ki Pehli Shaab Baad Nimaaz-e- Ishaa Aik martba Surah Fattah(success) Parhgna Afzal Hai

Aizan Mah-e-Ramdan ki Pehli Shaab Baad Nimaz -e- Thajad Aasman ki Traf Munh Ker k 12 Martba Yeh Dua
Parhna bohat afzal hai

" La Ilaha Il'laAllah -ul-Haiyul Qayum-ul-Qaaaaaaasimu(yahan Alif Per Maad hai So lamba karna hai) Alaa Kuli Nafsinm Bima Kasabat "

In Wizaif k Parhnay Walay beshumarNaimatein Allah Paak Ki traf Se Ata Ki jayie Gi


Rememebr me in ur prayers
Fi aman Allah
