*Many years ago, on Eid Day, in Dubai, a very Rich Man who had no wife, no children, no other family members, decided to invite all the employees of his Mansion to dinner.* *He called the staff and asked them to sit at the table.* *In front of everyone there was a QUR'AN and a small sum of MONEY.* *After everyone had their dinner, the Rich Man asked:* *"What would you prefer to receive as a gift: this QUR'AN or this MONEY?* *Do not be shy, you can choose what you want. "* *THE SECURITY GUARD WAS THE FIRST TO REACT:* *"Sir, I would love to receive The Qur'an, but since I have not learned to read, the money will be more useful to me."* *THE GARDENER WAS THE SECOND TO SPEAK:* *"Sir, my wife is very sick and that's why I need more money, otherwise I would choose The Qur'an for sure!"* *THE THIRD WAS THE COOK:* *"Sir, I like reading to tell the truth, it's one of the things I like to do, but I work so hard that I never fi

If the guest is hungry, he/she will drink the water first, so then judging from that, a meal will be prepared for him/her, if he/she is not hungry, he/she will have the Turkish coffee first. • The younger ones would not walk in front of the older people.

When the Prophet Muhammad (ﷺ)  passed away, it was an incredibly tragic moment that left the Ummah completely shaken. Many companions felt like there wasn’t a point in living anymore. They were frozen. They were speechless. They didn’t know how to cope. But in the face of this incredible tragedy, the biggest tragedy this Ummah will ever face, Abu Bakr As-Siddiq (rA) stands up and makes a very powerful statement — He said, “Whoever used to worship Muhammad, know that he has passed away (ﷺ) . But whoever used to worship Allah, know that Allah is Ever-Living, He never dies.” Our religion did not stop in the face of the loss of the Beloved (ﷺ) . And similarly, our religion and spirituality does not stop at the end of Ramadan because the same Allah in Ramadan, who gave us the blessed month to grow and transform is the same Allah outside of Ramadan- His doors of mercy and forgiveness are constantly open. Thus, the month of Ramadan is not the end of the journey of a believer but rather it&

   Dua  is considered very powerful in  Islam because it can change our destiny and it can be the most powerful weapon for a  Muslim  at the time of sorrow as well as joy. Why not to know the Value and  Importance of Dua in Islam  .  Dua  is the belief of all Muslims that Allah is the sole purveyor and creator of all things on earth. In the terminology of  Islam , duʿāʾ literally meaning invocation, is an act of supplication. The term is derived from an Arabic word meaning to 'call out' or to 'summon', and Muslims regard this as a profound act of worship. Prophet Muhammad, may the mercy and blessings of God be upon him, said, “A slave becomes nearest to his Lord when he is in prostration. So increase supplications in prostrations.’’    “The supplication of every one of you will be granted if he does not get impatient and say, `I supplicated my Lord but my prayer has not been granted’.

A Ramadan of Change – 26 of 30 ** A nightly appointment with an angel ** In Ramadan, the Prophet Mohammad PBUH would be blessed with a nightly appointment with angel Jibreel who’d mutually study with him the Qur’an. Describing this and its effects, Ibnu ‘Abbaas said: كَانَ رسول الله - صلى الله عليه وسلم - أجْوَدَ النَّاسِ، وَكَانَ أجْوَدَ مَا يَكُونُ في رَمَضَانَ حِيْنَ يَلْقَاهُ جِبْريلُ، وَكَانَ جِبْريلُ يَلْقَاهُ في كُلِّ لَيْلَةٍ مِنْ رَمَضَانَ فَيُدَارِسُهُ القُرْآنَ، فَلَرَسُولُ الله - صلى الله عليه وسلم - حِيْنَ يَلْقَاهُ جِبرِيلُ أجْوَدُ بالخَيْرِ مِن الرِّيحِ المُرْسَلَةِ "The Messenger of Allah was the most generous of people, and he was most generous in Ramadan when Jibril would meet him. He'd meet him every night during  Ramadan and study the Quran with him. When Jibreel would meet him, the Messenger of Allah was more generous in doing good than the blowing wind." (Al-Bukhari and Muslim) The greater the dosage of Qur’an, the greater the generosity of th
