REWARD OF RAMADAN.

The month of Ramadhan is the most sacred month in Islamic calendar. In the same way that Allah elevated the status of the prophet over the rest of the creation and the status of the cities of Makkah and madinah over the rest of the cities, so also has the month of Ramadhan been elevated above the other months. 
The Prophet (peace be upon him) said : " When the month of Ramadhan begins, the gates of Paradise are opened, the gates of Hell are closed and the devils are chained. " And he said: " Whoever fasts the month of Ramadhan having faith in Allah SWT and expecting reward from Allah, all his previous sin will be forgiven.".
Among the nights of Ramadhan is a particular night known as laylat al Qadr (the Night of Power).
This night alone is better than thousand months.




BLESSING OF RAMADAN.

Salam Our Brother and Sisters, 


WHY TO PLAN FOR RAMADAN ?

Salam our Brothers and Sisters, Ramadan is coming soon. Time to increase our knowledge on Islam in Ramadan. Could you please polish our Quran recitation and understanding skills, practice fasting, find time to pray extras, such as Tahajjud prayers (praying more and make lots of dua, ziikir) and repentance, set aside some wealth for charity, calculate how much zakat to pay etc. May this Ramadan be much better for us than previous ones. Amin Ya Robal Alamin.





KEEP CALM AND PREPARE FOR RAMADAN.

Salam Our Brothers and Sisters. The following are some tips to help us prepare for Ramadan. 


1. Ask Allah for facilitation to benefit from the blessings of Ramadan daily, from now onward. 


2. Make a firm determination to abstain from all sins. Especially those committed by the eyes, ears and tongue. 


3. Try to free as much time as possible from work and other commitments for pure worship (ibadah).


4. Reschedule non essential appointments till after or before Ramadan. Finish with all Ramadan and Eid shopping prior to the sighting of the crescent. 


5. Make special effort to follow as many Sunnah as possible in daily activities. Learn these and memorize dua for particular occasions before hand. 


6. Review the essential fiqh relating to fasting, taraweeh and other Ramadan related issues. 7. Make a practical and doable time table for daily activities.The point to remember is that in Ramadan acts of primary form of worships (i.e. salah, dhikr, tilawat, etc.) are to be increased. These lead to an increasing direct relationship with Allah SWT.



RAMADAN IS COMING

The holy month of Ramadan
For all Muslims has begun.
Praising Allah through the day,
From dawn to dusk we fast and pray.
We pay zakah (charity) for those in need,
Trying hard to do good deeds.

When the sun has set, and day is done-
I'll break this chain, but only one.
By the end of Ramadan, this whole chain will be all gone!
It's time for Eid and lots of fun!!!




WORDS OF WISDOM.

Stop thinking about the past, 
we can't undo single thing we have ever done, 
but we still can make decisions today and don't worry too much about what's going to happen in the future. 
Our presence is a present, so live for today and appreciate everyone and everything we have.

Stop thinking about what we don't have, 
what we wish we had, who walked out of our life and whatever else.. 
Think about what we have, 
who we have in our life and how fortunate we are...Praise to Allah. 
Today is a new day !!!

SMILE IT IS A SUNNAH.

Do not let yesterdays disappointments
overshadow on tomorrows dreams
because your life is like a mirror,
if you keep smiling it smiles right back to you....
So, keep smiling....because smile it is a sunnah. !!!!
