Peace and greetings be upon Mohammed and his household and Ibraheem and his household 🌼

After waiting for one whole year, the prestigious guest of the year is here!!

Ahlan-Wa-Sahlan!
Welcome Ramadan 💫💝

To those who began fasting from today, Ramadan Kareem to you and to those who will be fasting from tomorrow Ramadan Kareem to you! :)

Indeed this month is filled with opportunities to collect as much good deeds as we can and act and reflect upon what we do and what we say i.e called  Tazkiyah' Nafs where one looks into his soul and tries to find his shortcomings amd works on it to improve and eradicate the wrongs of his soul and purify it by listening to Allah and His Prophet SALLALAHU ALAIHI WASSALAM !

Ramadan, comes not only for a believer to enjoin fasting but also to fasten his desires and get hold of them, to control the evil of his nafs and to control his tongue and his hands from harming others.

Ramadan comes with the beautiful feeling of the first taraweeh prayers that commence from the night of the moon sighting and the long rak'ats bring a spiritual glow to your entity, where the glamour and happiness everywhere everyone shares is mutual : the feeling of brotherhood engulfs and where you like , infact you love to help each others out by doing simplest of kind acts.

Ramadan comes with the bestest offer where Allah grants you 70 times more for a simple good deed that you do, if you read Quran's one word which normally has 10 good deeds countable on recital of one letter that shifts to 80 good deeds in Ramadan!! Subhan Allah.

Keep your tongue moist by reciting the zikr of Allah,
SUBHAN ALLAH WA BIHAMDIHI SUBHAN ALLAH AL AZEEM
LA ILAHA ILLALAH
LA HAWLA WALA QUWWATA ILLAH BILLAH
SUBHAN ALLAH
ALHAMDULILLAH
ALLAHU AKBAR

Give charity(sadaqah), qnd remember sadaqah does not necessarily mean money, helping someone out who is in need , a kind gesture, a pleasant smile also counts as great as sadaqah. Can you imagine?

And if you're on your periods that doesn't mean you're rejected from earning sawab you still can reap the benefits of the glorious days of ramadan, keep chanting the zikr with your tongue , help out/work to prepare foods in the kitchen for sehri and iftari while reciting durood shareef . Listen to Quran on your phone in different vocals by different Shayyookhs.

Try setting a goal for this ramadan:
I WILL MAKE THIS RAMADAN THE BEST OF MY LIFE.
Now work accordingly .
If you couldn't read much Quran last ramadan, do it this time. First, thank Allah that He blessed you with another ramadan yet, where many of previous people who were there in last ramadan has left us and departed from dunya and they're no more .
Seek Astaghfaar(repentance) as much as you can, keep seeking, keep seeking, keep seeking. ASTAGHFIRULLAH.

Pray. Pray & pray. Don't think that your prayers won't be accepted, pray and supplicate with the firm belief that Almighty God will listen to you. Surely He'd . why won't He? He says I am to my servant of what they think of me. Ask for Jannah. Seek refuge from Jahannum(The Hellfire) . Ask Allah to guide you and protect you from the fitnahs emerging in this world, from the fitnah of your nafs, from the fitnah of wealth, from the fitnah of haram relationships. Ask Him to protect you from evils of people and evils of the shayateen, ask Him to bestow you with chastity and purity not only of heart but of your soul and of your mind. Ask Him to bless you and bless the ummah! Please don't forget the ummah in your prayers, everyone needs prayers in today's time. Don't forget the oppressed ones, don't forget the people who die everyday in the cause of Islam, don't forget women who get raped and  don't forget men who get bullied and harassed , don't forget the abused kids, don't forget the old parents waiting for their kids who have forsaken them, don't forget your parents, don't forget your teachers, your friends, your neighbors.

Try spreading good, be it anything like spreading knowledge or spreading smiles.
If you know anything , don't be proud of it say :
WA MA TAWFEEQI ILLAH BILLAH
And then teach others too what you know.

Help people out who're distressed , lean a shoulder to someone, listen to their stories, try to lessen their pain by any means you can.

Remember you bring change when you change, and remember you're not useless , and remember this too you're loved very much by few people,if not by many, and if still not by anyone ALLAH loves you.

Lastly, remember me and my family in your prayers. We need it. :)

Jazak Allahu Khairan Kaseera 💜
