Ramadan

Jummah Mubaraka to everyone around the world! 🌎😊

🌿🤍 The Approaching Winter | A Season of Worship and Spiritual Preparation

As winter approaches, the days grow shorter and the nights longer, offering a beautiful opportunity to devote more time to worship and draw closer to Allah.

The righteous predecessors recognised the blessings of this season.

It is narrated that Ubayd ibn Umayr would say upon the arrival of winter:

“O people of the Qur’an, the night has grown long for your prayers, and the day has grown short for your fasting. So seize the opportunity.”

What a beautiful reminder to make the most of our time through voluntary fasting, night prayers, Qur’an recitation, remembrance, and sincere supplication.

And there is another beautiful reason to begin preparing now: Ramadan is only about 100 days away. 🌙

In approximately 40 days, we expect to welcome Rajab, one of the four sacred months. Then comes Sha’ban, the month in which deeds are raised to the Lord of the worlds, as mentioned in the Prophetic tradition.

And then, by Allah’s mercy, comes the blessed month of Ramadan.

Do not wait until Ramadan to cultivate the devotion you hope to experience within it.

Begin now. Strengthen your prayers, deepen your relationship with the Qur’an, increase your remembrance of Allah, and gradually establish the habits of worship you wish to carry into Ramadan.

For every day is an opportunity to draw closer to Allah, and every sincere act of worship is an investment in the Hereafter.

🤍 O Allah, allow us to reach Ramadan in good health and steadfast faith. Help us prepare for it with sincere hearts, devotion, and righteous deeds, and make us among those who attain Your mercy, forgiveness, and acceptance.

🌿🤍 الشتاء يقترب | موسمٌ لاغتنام الطاعات والاستعداد لرمضان

مع اقتراب الشتاء، يقصر النهار ويطول الليل، وتتهيّأ للمؤمن فرصةٌ جميلة للإكثار من الطاعات، والتقرّب إلى الله بصالح الأعمال.

وقد كان السلف الصالح يستبشرون بهذا الموسم، ويستثمرون أوقاته في العبادة.

رُوي عن عُبيد بن عُمير رحمه الله أنه كان يقول إذا جاء الشتاء:

«يا أهل القرآن، طال الليل لصلاتكم، وقصر النهار لصيامكم، فاغتنموا».

فما أجمل أن نجعل من طول الليل فرصةً للقيام والمناجاة، ومن قِصَر النهار عونًا على صيام التطوّع، وأن نعمر أوقاتنا بتلاوة القرآن، والذكر، والاستغفار، والدعاء.

والأجمل أن أمامنا موسمًا عظيمًا يستحق أن نستعدّ له من الآن؛ فلم يبقَ على شهر رمضان المبارك سوى نحو مئة يوم. 🌙

وقبل رمضان، نستقبل بإذن الله شهر رجب بعد نحو أربعين يومًا، وهو أحد الأشهر الحُرُم التي عظّمها الله.

ثم يأتي شهر شعبان، الذي أخبر النبي ﷺ أنه شهرٌ تُرفع فيه الأعمال إلى رب العالمين، وكان يُكثر فيه من الصيام.

ثم يُقبل علينا، بفضل الله ورحمته، شهر رمضان المبارك.

فلماذا ننتظر دخول رمضان لنبدأ الاستقامة على الطاعات التي نرجو المداومة عليها فيه؟

ابدأ من الآن، وحافظ على صلاتك، واجعل للقرآن وردًا لا ينقطع، وأكثِر من الذكر والاستغفار، وعوّد نفسك على الصيام والقيام، ولو بالقليل الذي تستطيع المداومة عليه.

فالعمر يمضي، والأيام تنقضي، وما أجمل أن نغتنم ما بقي منها فيما ينفعنا عند لقاء الله.

ولا تستصغر عملًا صالحًا، فربّ حسنةٍ تراها يسيرةً اليوم، تجد ثوابها عظيمًا في ميزانك يوم القيامة.

🤍 اللهم بلّغنا رمضان ونحن في صحةٍ وعافية، وإيمانٍ وثبات، وأعنّا على الاستعداد له بقلوبٍ صادقة، ونفوسٍ مقبلةٍ على طاعتك، ووفّقنا فيه للصيام والقيام وتلاوة القرآن، واجعلنا من عبادك المقبولين، ولا تحرمنا واسع فضلك وعظيم رحمتك.

آمين يا رب العالمين. 🤲

What’s the kindest thing anyone has ever said to you that you still remember?

Ya Allah, make me among Your servants whom You love and are pleased with.

Oh Allah I ask you to help me give thanks for Your bounties

Surah Al-Kahf is a light that illuminates your path from one Friday to the next.💗

When Allah says "لَا يُكَلِّفُ ٱللَّهُ نَفْسًا إِلَّا وُسْعَهَا ۚ" - Allah does not burden a soul beyond what it can bear.. not only does it mean that He has placed within you ALL the strength you didn't even know you possessed to get through every darkness and difficulty in your life, the patience, the perseverance, the hope, the courage and the resilience to conquer everything that tries to take you down, He ALSO gives you the dreams, the visions, the ideas for a future you think is so beyond your reach but in fact, Allah placed your own potential inside you before you were born. YOUUUUUUU were made for greatness. Allah CHOSE you. Allah SPECIFICALLY made trials that put you under such immense pressure that you turn into the diamond you were always meant to become. We don't understand it in the moment..... But Allah knows. And you've lived through every single day you never thought you'd survive. You've had an impact in people's lives who you never spoke to. You've been able to light up the world simply through embracing your own heart and sharing it with the world 💗 Subhanallah ya Rabb.

If only we could see the tapestry of beauty that Allah has created of our lives in all its glory, but we cannot. Because we live our lives FORWARD. one day after another with no idea what comes next Subhanallah. But whatever comes, Allah is with you. Allah never left you. Allah will bring your broken pieces together and you'll glow from within, the radiance from His Noor, His Love will mend you and heal you in ways you never could've imagined. If you felt unsupported by the people around you, Allah will bring strangers you've never known who alter the very trajectory of your life and celebrate you for the beautiful soul you are.

You are never forgotten, you are always loved 💗 and if you forget your own worth for a little while, don't worry. Allah will raise you higher than you ever dreamed Subhanallah, it's just a matter of time. Divine Timing 💗

This world needs you 💗 and Allah knows you'll change everything for the better if you allow yourself to chase your dreams, challenge your limits, grow and heal with the support of others and fully embrace the beauty of this deen. Because there is NOTHING GREATER in existence than being chosen to be a Muslim 💗 May Allah increase us in our imaan and make us all vessels of embodying islam that makes everyone who sees us grow to love Allah even more, grow their imaan even more, come towards the Deen more 💗 may Allah not allow us to be a fitnah in other people's lives, may Allah forgive us for all our sins and may He grant us the ability to repair and to heal and to uplift and inspire, even if the only person we do so for, is ourselves. May Allah be with us in every moment and if our hearts ever fall away from His Remembrance, may He bring our hearts back to Him in the most beautiful of ways. Ameen ya Rabb 💗💗💗

Fear Allah in the way you treat people. Every soul deserves justice, and no act of ظلم goes unnoticed by Allah.

Life means stress, life means tension, and sometimes life means depression and anxiety, while at other times, it brings us moments of extreme happiness. We have to balance all these emotions and experiences and still find the strength to live, survive, and keep moving forward. That is what life is all about.

Allah Ta'ala has sent each and every one of us into this world with a purpose, and our lives are a test. Perhaps those who successfully pass this difficult test will find ease and peace in the Hereafter that awaits us. And those who fail to endure this test, who give up along the way, may ultimately lose what matters most.
