وما نزلت بساحته المنايا ** فلا أرض تقيه ولاسماء
And for him upon whose horizon death descends, No earth can offer him protection, nor any sky
وأرض الله واسعة ولكن ** إذا نزل القضا ضاق الفضاء
Indeed, the earth of Allah is certainly vast But if decree descends, then the world constricts
قد نزل القضا وقد ضاق الفضاء
The decree has descends and the world has constricts
We only look up unto you Allah

Schedule for the Day of Arafah 🌄

Here are some things you can do to get the best out of the day of Arafah:

☑️ Sleep early the night before to energized yourself for worship on this special day

☑️ Wake up one hour before the Fajr time to eat Suhoor

☑️ Pray at least 4 rakat of night prayers and supplicate to Allah while in a state of sujood and thank Him for allowing you to witness this blessed day and ask Him to give you success on this day.

☑️ Spend the remaining time before Fajr reciting Istighfar (asking Allah for forgiveness) so that you may be written as those who ‘’seek forgiveness before dawn.” (51:18)

☑️ Get ready for the Fajr by performing wudu and imagine your sins being forgiven with every last drop of water.

☑️ Say the dua for the completion of wudu

☑️ Attend Fajr in Masjid (or at home for women) and remain in your place until 15-20 minutes after sunrise. (**if safe**)

☑️ During this time, read Quran, make tasbeeh, tahleel, tahmeed, and takbeer (Allahu Akbar, la ilaha ila Allah, Alhamdulilah) and say the morning Adhkar.

☑️ Pray two rakat of sunrise so it is recorded for you the reward of hajj and umrah (in sha Allah).

☑️ On your way walking to/from the mosque, give charity to anyone in need.

☑️ If you are able to stay awake and continue with making dua, reading Quran and lots of Dhikr then do so.

☑️ Or, if you prefer to take a nap during this time, make the intention of doing so to re-energize yourself for the worship of Allah.

☑️ After you wake up, make wudu and pray 2 rakat or more of Duha prayer (this can be prayed 15-20 min before Duhr)

☑️ Pray the Duhr with the included sunnah prayers (4 rakat before Duhr and 2 after)

☑️ Increase the recommended dhikr of the day of Arafah:
لا اله الا الله وحده لا شريك له، له الملك وله الحمد، وهو على كل شيء قدير
La ilaha ila Allah wahdahu la sharika lah, lahu al-mulk wa lahu al-hamd, wa huwa `ala kulli shay’in qadir.

THE FIRST THING YOU WILL FORGET AFTER DEATH.
The first thing you will forget after death is your Name. That's reason why when you die, they will say: where is the dead body?

By the time they will pray for you, they will say bring the co**se. They will not call you your name. when they are about to bury you, they will say bring the dead body. They won't call you by your name.

Don't let your people, your tribe your friends, your position or even your wealth or your Origin get you carried away (to forget where you will return to)...

The world is the smallest thing. Where we will return is the biggest.

And there are things made of gold..

THREE TYPES OF SADNESS FOR YOU

1. The people who do not know you very well Will say: poor soul (Servant of Allah).
2. Your friends will be in sadness for hour or days and after that they will go back to their normal activities.
3. There will be an extreme sadness in your house but they will also go to their normal life after maximum of one 1 or 2 or even up to a year of sadness. From there they will put you inside the grave.

That is the end of your story amongs people.
Your actual story will begin after death, that is hereafter.

Indeed you have lost..
1. Beauty
2. wealth
3. Health
4. Children
5. Story
6. Houses and
7. Women.

You have started an everlasting life (hell fire or Al jannah).

The question here is: what were you doing so good before you died? This is a truth that needs a deeps thinking.

Please dedicate yourself to this :
1. Always Observe your 5 daily prayers.
2. Sunnah
3. Give charity
4. Night prayer
You might be save by this acts of worship.

May Allah make it easy for us and grant us Aljana firdauz. Amin
and in Advance

Salaam aleikun warrahmatullah wabarakahtuhu.
إن الحمدلله نحمده ونستعينه ونستغفره، ونعوذ بالله من شرور أنفسنا ومن سيئات أعمالنا، من يهده الله فلا مضل له، ومن يضلل فلا هادي له، وأشهد أن لا إله إلا الله وحده لا شريك له، وأشهد أن محمد رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم.
Our topic today will be on solution or way out of this disaster we found ourselves.
Manshaallah how can we be out of this disaster.
Allah in the glorious Quran says to prophet Muhammad (SAW) that there is no disease that Allah sent to this mankind without cure or antidote. The 1st antidote to this disease or disaster is for us all to go back to Almighty Allah and seek for his forgiveness on our shortcomings. As Allah says in the holy Quran
Q57 verse 21
سورة الحديد:
سَابِقُوا إِلَىٰ مَغْفِرَةٍ مِّن رَّبِّكُمْ وَجَنَّةٍ عَرْضُهَا كَعَرْضِ السَّمَاءِ وَالْأَرْضِ أُعِدَّتْ لِلَّذِينَ آمَنُوا بِاللَّهِ وَرُسُلِهِ ۚ ذَٰلِكَ فَضْلُ اللَّهِ يُؤْتِيهِ مَن يَشَاءُ ۚ
وَاللَّهُ ذُو الْفَضْلِ الْعَظِيمِ (21)

قوله تعالى : سابقوا إلى مغفرة من ربكم أي : سارعوا بالأعمال الصالحة التي توجب المغفرة لكم من ربكم . وقيل : سارعوا بالتوبة ، لأنها تؤدي إلى المغفرة ؛ قاله الكلبي . وقيل التكبيرة الأولى مع الإمام ؛ قاله مكحول . وقيل : الصف الأول . وجنة عرضها كعرض السماء والأرض لو وصل بعضها ببعض . قال الحسن : يعني جميع السماوات والأرضين مبسوطتان كل واحدة إلى صاحبتها . وقيل : يريد لرجل واحد أي : لكل واحد جنة بهذه السعة . وقال ابن كيسان : عنى به جنة واحدة من الجنات . والعرض أقل من الطول ، ومن عادة العرب أنها تعبر عن سعة الشيء بعرضه دون طوله . قال :
كأن بلاد الله وهي عريضة على الخائف المطلوب كفة حابل
وقد مضى هذا كله في ( آل عمران ) . وقال طارق بن شهاب : قال قوم من أهل الحيرة لعمر رضي الله عنه : أرأيت قول الله عز وجل : وجنة عرضها كعرض السماء والأرض فأين النار ؟ فقال لهم عمر : أرأيتم الليل إذا ولى وجاء النهار أين يكون الليل ؟ فقالوا : لقد نزعت بما في التوراة مثله . أعدت للذين آمنوا بالله ورسله شرط الإيمان لا غير ، وفيه تقوية الرجاء . وقد قيل : شرط الإيمان هنا ، وزاد عليه في ( آل عمران ) فقال : أعدت للمتقين الذين ينفقون في السراء والضراء والكاظمين الغيظ والعافين عن الناس .
ذلك فضل الله يؤتيه من يشاء أي : إن الجنة لا تنال ولا تدخل إلا برحمة الله تعالى وفضله . وقد مضى هذا في ( الأعراف ) وغيرها . والله ذو الفضل العظيم .
Race with one another in hastening towards forgiveness from Allah and paradise, the width whereof is as the width of the heaven and earth, prepared for those who believe in Allah and His messengers. That is Grace of Allah which He bestows on whom He is pleased with. And Allah is the owner of great Bounty.
When will look at this ayat we will see that Allah does not want any of us to suffer His wrath and none of us can withstand it if Allah decide to punish all of us. But Allah gave us a clue on how to do the wrong we have did towards and what is the clue is that we should ask for his forgiveness for Allah is all forgiver and once Allah forgive His servant there is nothing he will do than to bless that servant and there is no better blessing that Allah can do to us after forgiving us now than to help us out on this disaster.
Is we can see all of us were suffering from the pandemic directly or in directly if we did not contact the disease that is when it affect us directly, but how we are affected in directly is that none of us can leave our various house to go out and do our day-to-day activities.

Can we now see that we are all been affected so therefore there is nothing we can do to Un do all these than to ask for Allah's forgiveness and pardon by doing so Allah will create a way.
And Allah has warned us the holy Quran. Q8 verse 25
سورة الأنفال
واتقوا فتنة لاتصيبن الذين ظلموا منكم خاصة واعلموا أن الله شديد العقاب.
And fear the fitnah (affliction and trial) which affects not in particular (only) those of you who do wrong (but it may afflict all the good and bad people), and know that Allah is severe in punishment.
If we look critically to this ayat we will then understand that Allah does not discriminate in his punishment when ever he wants to and He has said that it will not only affect those that knows about only but with the innocent people all of us will be affected and he has said He is severe in punishment. Can we now see that the only hope we have now is to always seek his forgiveness. And for we have an opportunity we are in the month of Ramadan in which Allah accept everything we asked of him. May Allah forgive us all. And accept our fasting as an act of ibadah.
Meet us tomorrow at the same time here
RAMADAN MUBARAK

SHEIK ADAM'S POEM ON TRUE MEANING OF SHYNESS AND HUMILITY.
قال الشيخ رحمه الله:

ﻭﻳﺢ ﻗﻮﻣﻰ ﺟﻬﻠﻮﺍ ﻣﻌﻨﻰ ﺍﻟﺤﻴﺎ ** ﻭﺃﺳﺎﺀﻭﺍ ﻓﻴﻪ ﺧﺘﻤﺎ ﻭﺍﺑﺘﺪﺍﺀ
ﻫﻜﺬﺍ ﻗﺪ ﺟﻬﻠﻮﺍ ﺍﻟﺘﻮﺍﺿﻌﺎ ** ﻭﺑﻨﻮﻩ ﻓﻲ ﺳﺠﻮﺩ ﻭﺍﻧﺤﻨﺎﺀ
ﺧﻠﻊ ﻧﻌﻞ ﺟﻌﻠﻮﻩ ﻭﺍﺟﺒﺎ ** ﻟﻬﻤﻮ ﻗﺒﻞ ﻭﺻﻮﻝ ﻟﻠﻔﻨﺎﺀ
ﻛﻞ ﻣﻦ ﺧﺎﻟﻔﻬﻢ ﻓﻲ ﻫﺬﻩ ** ﻭﺻﻔﻮﻩ ﺑﺎﻟﺬﻯ ﻣﻨﻪ ﺑﺮﺍﺀ
ﺟﺎﻋﻠﻮﻫﻢ ﻛﺎﻓﺮﺍ ﻟﺪﻳﻨﻬﻢ ** ﻭﺍﺳﺘﻌﺪﻭﺍ ﻟﻘﺘﺎﻝ ﻭﺍﻋﺘﺪﺍ
ﻭﺍﻟﺘﻮﺍﺿﻊ ﺍﻟﺬﻯ ﻧﻌﺮﻓﻪ ** ﻣﺜﻞ ﻣﺎ ﻓﻲ ﺍﻟﻌﻘﻞ ﺃﻭ ﺷﺮﻉ ﺍﻟﺴﻤﺎﺀ
ﺑﻘﺒﻮﻝ ﺍﻟﺤﻖ ﻣﻦ ﻛﻞ ﺃﺣﺪ ** ﻭﺍﺟﺘﻨﺎﺏ ﺟﺮ ﺛﻮﺏ ﺍﻟﺨﻴﻼﺀ
ﻭﺍﺣﺘﺮﺍﻡ ﺍﻟﻐﻴﺮ ﻓﻲ ﺣﺎﺩ ﺍﻟﻨﻬﻰ ** ﻭﺍﺣﺘﻘﺎﺭ ﺍﻟﻨﻔﺲ ﻻ ﻛﺎﻟﺤﻤﻘﺎﺀ
ﻭﺍﻟﺤﻴﺎﺀ ﺍﻟﺤﻖ ﺇﻥ ﺗﺴﺄﻟﻨﻰ ** ﻣﺎ ﻳﻘﻴﻚ ﺍﻟﻌﺎﺭ ﻋﻨﺪ ﺍﻟﻌﻘﻼﺀ
ﻭﺑﻘﻰ ﻣﻦ ﻛﻞ ﻓﺤﺶ ﻭﺧﻨﺎ ** ﻏﻴﺮ ﻫﺬﺍ ﻻ ﻳﺴﻤﻰ ﺑﺎﻟﺤﻴﺎﺀ

Meaning:
1. It is unfortunate that my people are ignorant of the meaning of modesty. They lack its understanding from the beginning to the end.

2. That is the same way they misunderstand humility. They premised it on prostration and bending (while greeting them)

3. They make removing of shoes (before greeting them) compulsory before they attain the high status in faith

4. Whoever disputes these with them would be qualified with negative things (that are not his).

5. They would call them disbelievers upon their deen. And they would threaten to kill and harm them

6. And the humility that I know is that which is sensible and that which is in line with the revealed law (Kitab wa Sunnah)

7. With taking the truth from anyone (no matter his status in the society) and abstinence from wearing clothes (beyond the ankles) with arrogance

8. And giving due regard to other people within reasonable limit. And giving respect to people without foolishness

9. And modesty in its true sense if you ask me, is what would not degrade you in sight of the wise ones

10. And shunning all acts of indecency and corruption. Apart from these, nothing is modesty

[See Al-Islam Wa taqoolid Al-jahiliyyah, Pg 161]
