*A SEVERE WARNING FOR THOSE WHO HAVE ABANDONED PRAYER*

قال رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم : من حافظ عليها كانت له نورا وبرهانا ونجاة يوم القيامة ومن لم يحافظ عليها لم يكن له نورا ولا برهانا ولا نجاة ويأتي يوم القيامة مع قارون وفرعون وهامان وأبي بن خلف

The Messenger of Allāh ﷺ said: “Whoever guards it (i.e the prayer), for him it will be a light, a proof and a means of salvation on the Day of Resurrection, and whoever does not guard it, then it will not be a light, neither it will be a proof, nor it would be a means of salvation for him and he will be brought on the Day of Resurrection alongwith Qāroon and Fir'awn and Hāmān and Ubay b. Khalaf (A Mushrik who was killed by the Prophet ﷺ himself).”

*DO NOT RELENT IN EVEN NIGHTS OF RAMAḌĀN*

Allāh says:

*وَٱللَّهُ يُضَٰعِفُ لِمَن يَشَآءُ ۗ*

*And Allah multiplies [His reward] for whom He wills.*

Qur'ān 2:261

Yes, with no element of doubt, the Prophet ﷺ has told us, in a number of authentic narrations that, Laylatul Qadr falls in any of the last odd nights of 21, 23, 25, 27, or 29 of Ramaḍān.

But you shouldn't be economical and stingy in your worship of Allāh by for example, worshipping Allāh with extra concerted efforts in odd nights, and relaxing in even nights of 22, 24, 26, and 28.

For the Lord Who says _*"Laylatul Qadr is better than one thousand months"*_ can anytime, multiply His special rewards and provisions for you even outside Laylatul Qadr.

Yā Rabb, help us to worship You in the best way, pardon us of our shortcomings, and admit us into Jannatul Firdaws with Your infinite mercy. 🤲🏻

Somebody said Muslim fasting is easy because we eat breakfast but only misses lunch

And I said yes! Allah has made Islam easy for us

The Glorious Qur'an in chapter 3 verse 286 says:

"Allah does not burden a soul beyond that it can bear…”

No Sheikh or Imam can increase the number of days (fasting) or extend the period beyond sunset.

It's just 29-30 days in a year, other ones are voluntary

And It's not only our fasting that's made easy

Even our way of worship is made easy for us

A Muslim can worship in any mosque

And If you can not find water to perform ablution, Allah permits use of sand

Furthermore, any Muslim that can not stand to pray due to circumstances can also do so while sitting and even in sleeping positions

Our Zakaat was made easy, it's just 2.5% of ones wealth per annum provided you're not indebted to anyone

Yes! 2.5% per year not monthly

And if you are to marry in Islam, just get both parents or representatives and conduct the program in less than 5 minutes, you're done

Every other ceremony is man-made.

Burial in Islam is most easiest.

No need to start borrowing to give your parents or loved ones unnecessary befitting burial.

Once the person is proclaimed dead, get white clothes, bathe the dead, offer prayer and burry the dead. Finish, nothing else

To name your child is also easy, once the child is born, name him/her and...
..if you can afford sheep, buy and if unable to do so, forget it. No need to borrow

If you are to lend or borrow money, do so without collecting interest on loan.

And it's forbidden to hoard goods with the aim of re-selling when the price goes up

Just imagine if these are practice globally today

And if anything happened whether good or bad, just link it to Allah and not anybody

Islam is made easy, to become a Muslim

Just make sahada that "there's no gods but God and Muhammad (SAW) is His messenger"

Then know and practice the five pillars of Islam and believe only in the six things Islam enjoins us to believe. Nothing else.

These are just a few of the beauty of Islam.

Islam is beautiful, I'm proud to be a Muslim.

Ramadan 🌙 Kareem.

*Common Questions and Answers in Ramadan*

Q1: Is it permissible to read from the Quran or a phone during Taraweeh prayers?⁉️

A: Yes, it is permissible. However, it is not permissible to recite from the Quran during obligatory prayers.

Q2: Is there a difference between Taraweeh prayers and night prayers?⁉️

A: Taraweeh prayers and night prayers are the same, but night prayers in Ramadan are called Taraweeh because they are performed collectively, and breaks are taken between the units.

Q3: Can I pray Taraweeh prayers separately after Isha due to work commitments?⁉️

A: Yes, it is permissible. Taraweeh prayers can be performed at any time between Isha and Fajr, either individually or collectively. It doesn't have to be immediately after Isha.

Q4: Is it permissible for a woman who has memorized the Quran to lead her husband and children in prayers, and where should she stand if allowed?⁉️

A: It is not valid for a woman to lead men in prayer, even if she has memorized the entire Quran. If she prays with them, the prayer is invalid. Men pray in the front, boys and males stand behind them, and women stand behind the boys.

Q5: Can I recite shorter chapters during Taraweeh prayers?⁉️

A: Yes, it is permissible.

Q: Is it permissible to pray again at night after Taraweeh and Witr prayers?⁉️

A: Yes, it is permissible.

Q: Is it permissible to recite the Quran without applying the rules of Tajweed?⁉️

A: Yes, it is permissible, but reciting with Tajweed is better and more rewarding. Care should be taken to avoid mistakes in pronunciation and articulation. However, one should not refrain from reading the Quran in Ramadan.

Q: Is it valid to complete the Quran by reading from a phone?⁉️

A: Yes, it is valid. Recitation is permissible from memory, a physical Quran, or a phone.

Q: Does reciting the Quran from a phone carry the same reward as reciting from a physical Quran?⁉️

A: With the permission of Allah, reciting the Quran earns the reward of reciting every letter with tenfold reward. The essence lies in recitation and contemplation. However, the physical Quran holds greater reverence in the heart, and those around you may be influenced by your actions.

Q: Does reciting the Quran with just the eyes earn the same reward as reciting with the tongue?⁉️

A: To earn the reward of recitation, it is necessary to move the tongue and lips. Simply looking at the Quran or reciting it in the heart does not count as recitation; it's merely a thought.

Q: Do I need to raise my voice during recitation to earn the reward?⁉️

A: It is not necessary to raise your voice; the requirement is to move your tongue and lips, even if your voice is low.

*LIFE IN RAMAḌĀN 1445 AH (02)*

✍🏻 Hussain Bin Hyacinth

Because Allāh multiplies the reward for righteous deeds in this blessed month of Ramaḍān, many of us tend to focus their attention more on the quantity of their righteous deeds and pay less attention to the quality of these deeds.

Yes, quantity is important, but the quality of our deeds is more important.

The fact is that we, the Muslim Ummah, are not lacking in quantity. But we are truly lacking in quality imwardly and outwardly.

Remember the prophesy of Allāh's Messenger ﷺ concerning the weakness of the Muslim Ummah. When the Ṣaḥābah (RA) asked him whether our weakness is because of being small in number/population?

The Prophet ﷺ responded that the population of the Muslim Ummah would indeed be large. Currently, we are about 2 billion, which is about 25 percent of world's population. That's great! 👍🏻

What then is the reason for the weakness of the Muslim Ummah? 🤔

The Prophet ﷺ says:

*... ولكنَّكم غُثاءٌ كغُثاءِ السَّيلِ*

*... but you are scum (mass of things without any weight) like the scum carried by heavy rain."* 😭

As-Silsilah Aṣ-Ṣaḥīḥah (958)

So, it is clear that the Muslim Ummah doesn't lack in quantity/population but in quality.

Hence, we must pay more attention to the quality of things we do, especially in this Ramaḍān, so that our deeds will not be like scum.

Yā Rabb, may we attain the level of _iḥsān_ (proficiency) in our worship of You, make us people of value and quality, and grant victory to Islām through us. 🤲🏻

*“O you who have believed, decreed upon you is fasting as it was decreed upon those before you that you may become righteous”.*
(Q2:183)

Let this Ramadan be the month of forgiveness and compassion, a month to cleanse our souls and seek the mercy of Allah.

*Ramadan Kareem!*
*Allahu Akram*

“Hardship that will make us forsake our Islam.
Yah Allāh, distance us from it, please.”
