Live each day as if it were your last, ask for Allah’s forgiveness, He is all forgiving

Allah has sent us in this world for a purpose: To praise Him, to believe in His Book and His Prophet (sallallahu alaihi wasallam), to follow the Sunnah and to spread the word of Allah’s oneness.

This world is a temporary resting place for us after which the destination is everlasting. It is upon us to prepare for the final destination and choose between the Hell Fire and the Palaces of Heaven (May Allah save us from the Fire and let us enter Heaven, Aameen).

Let us make a promise to our beloved Prophet (sallallahu alaihi wasallam) that we will follow all his teachings so that he can be proud of us on the day when our final destiny will be decided. 

Love Allah, Fear Allah, Praise Allah, Trust Allah

Saturday,Sep 20 2008, 05:28:19 PMThe Last 10 Days

The last third of Ramadan is the time for the release from Hell-fire, as the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said in the Hadith reported by Salman Al-Farisi: "O people, a great and a blessed month is approaching you. In this month there is a night that is better than one thousand months. Allah has made fasting during its daytime obligatory and prayers at night commendable during this month. Whosoever will do a voluntary good deed during this month, it is as if he performed an obligatory good deed at another time and whosoever will perform an obligatory good deed, it is as if he performed seventy obligatory good deeds at another time. This is the month of patience and the reward of patience is Paradise. This is the month of kindness and charity. In this month the believer’s provision is enlarged. Anyone who will give food to a fasting person in this month, it will bring forgiveness for his sins, will save him from the hellfire and he shall have his reward without the person who is fed losing any of his reward….The first third of the month of Ramadan is the time for Rahmah (Mercy), the second third is for forgiveness, the third is for the release from Hellfire…"

The duties of the Muslim in this last third of Ramadan are to try his best to perfect his fasting, to avoid any shortcomings or sins that can harm his fasting, to offer more prayers, preferably in congregation, to advance in reading the Qur'an, making dhikr (remembrance of Allah), and helping others to be more committed to religion, to enter i`tikaf (seclusion) if it is possible for him/her, and to remember that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) used to give extra attention to the last ten days of Ramadan. He could hardly sleep, and his family used also to stay in vigilance with him. The Prophet's generosity in this month and particularly in the last ten days was compared to a fast wind.

We should not miss to remind you and all Muslims to try to settle disputes. It is the best occasion to forgive one another and forget about all enmities and grudges. We should come out of Ramadan in a better shape, understanding, and moral behavior. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) made it clear that "If any Muslim comes out of Ramadan without gaining forgiveness and goodness, he/she is a real loser."

ربي عبدك قد ضاقت به الأسباب
وأغلقت دونه الأبواب وبعد عن جادة الصواب وزاد به الهم والغم والاكتئاب
وانقضى عمره ولم يفتح له الى فسيح مناهل الصفو والقربات باب وانت المرجوّ سبحانك لكشف هذا المصاب يا من اذا دعي اجاب يا سريع الحساب يا رب الأرباب يا عظيم الجناب
يا كريم يا وهّاب رب لا تحجب دعوتي ولا ترد مسألتي ولا تدعني بحسرتي ولا تكلني الى حولي وقوّتي وارحم عجزي فقد ضاق صدري وتاه فكري وتحيّرت في امري وانت العالم سبحانك بسري وجهري المالك لنفعي وضري القادر على تفريج كربي وتيسير عسري اللهم احينا في الدنيا مؤمنين طائعين وتوفنا مسلمين تائبين اللهم ارحم تضرعنا بين يديك وقوّمنا اذا اعوججنا
وكن لنا ولا تكن علينا اللهم نسألك يا غفور يا رحمن يا رحيم أن تفتح لأدعيتنا ابواب الاجابه
يا من اذا سأله المضطر اجاب يا من يقول للشيء كن فيكون اللهم لا تردنا خائبين
وآتنا افضل ما يؤتى عبادك الصالحين اللهم ولا تصرفنا عن بحر جودك خاسرين
ولا ضالين ولا مضلين واغفر لنا الى يوم الدين
برحمتك يا ارحم الرحمين

اللهم آمين
