*The Day of Arafah- What you should know about this:

*The Day of Arafah (YOU WON'T REGRET READING THIS insha'Allah)*

We've all heard so much about Arafah and its virtues, so much so that it has almost turned out to become mere facts just being related on repeat! 

*Ask yourself ⁉️*: 

▪️Have I actually internalized and comprehended what Arafah is?
▪️Have I truly understood the MAGNITUDE of this magnificent Day?
▪️Am I going to let it pass like any other ordinary day?

Well, let me tell you in short why your heart should be racing so fast just at the thought of being blessed with the opportunity of witnessing this tremendous Day!

1️⃣ It is the *BEST* day the sun has ever risen or will rise upon!
2️⃣ It is the Day on which Allah perfected His religion, *completed His favors* upon us and approved for us Islam as a way of life!
3️⃣ It is the Day Allah *frees* the most number of His slaves from the Hell-Fire.
4️⃣ It is the ONLY day Allah, The Most High *descends to the lowest heaven in the day time* (a descention in way 
that  befits Him, Glory be to Him)
5️⃣ It is the Day Allah *praises (shows off)*, His righteous slaves to the angles!

Ya Subhanallah! By Allah only a wretched person will let this Day go past him in a state of heedlessness!

*⭕What is the best thing I can do on this day?* 

DU'AA, DU'AA and DU'AA!

Yes, that's it! The Prophet ﷺ said: *"The best dua'a is the du'aa on the Day of Arafah"* 

 *⭕When does this special time begin?*

عشية عرفة

Majority of the scholars say that it is from Dhuhr to Maghrib or just a little before Asr to Maghrib.

This whole time for du'aa? YES!
Do you feel a little overwhelmed? How do I start my du'aa? How do I organize it? How do I get it all right?

*⭕Here are 7 EASY points to categorize your Du'aa into*:

1️⃣ *Start by praising, and glorifying Allah*. Reach onto Him through His beautiful names. Don't rush. Praise Him till your heart feels content, for He is indeed worthy of ALL praise. Look up du'aas from the Qur'aan and authentic Sunnah on this regard.

2️⃣ *Send Salutations upon Rasoolullah ﷺ*. Again, don't rush. Take your time. Internalize what it means to send salutations upon him. Bear witness that Rasoolullah fulfilled his responsibility and passed  the message (of Islam) the way it had to be. 

3️⃣ *Thank Allah and show Him gratitude for ALL his blessings  upon you, and seek refuge in Him from the removal of His blessings*
Take your time! Try going through each and every blessing that comes to your mind and thank Allah for it. Blessing of Islam. Blessing of health. Blessing of parents. Blessing of safety. Etc etc. Be specific! Be personal!

4️⃣ *Istighfar, Repentance*. Humble yourself in front of Allah. Own up to Him for all your sins. Beg Him to forgive you. Cry your heart out! Again take your time. Do  not rush!

5️⃣ *YOUR personal time, ask Allah for ALL you want in THIS LIFE pertaining your deen and dunya*. Wealth, health, marriage, guidance, righteousness, success. Anything and everything pour it out with a heart full of conviction that Allah is listening and He knows and will answer!

6️⃣ *Al Barzakh, The AFTER LIFE*. Here you make du'aas pertaining moments before death, after death, the grave, the Day of Judgement, the Siraat, Jannah, protection from Hell-Fire Etc. Ask Allah to grant you a good ending. Ask Allah for firmness at the time of questioning. Etc. 

7️⃣ *End by sending salutations upon Rasoolullah ﷺ*. Ask Allah to grant you His intercession on the Day of Judgement. Ask Allah to grant you a drink from his Houdh.

🛑Take your time through each category. Pause. Relflect. Humble yourself, breakdown in front of Allah. Show Him your weakness and surrender to Him with utmost humility. 

🛑The Prophet ﷺ said:
*"خير الدعاء دعاء يوم عرفة، وخير ما قلت أنا والنبيون من قبلي لا إله إلا الله وحده لا شريك له، له الملك وله الحمد وهو على كل شيء قدير"*

"The best supplication is on the Day of Arafat and the best supplication said by me and the prophets before me: There is no God but Allah alone, He has no partner. To Allah is the dominion, and to Him is the praise and He is Capable of all things" 

So every now and then in the midst of your du'aas say:
 لا اله الا الله وحده لا شريك له له الملك وله الحمد وهو على كل قدير.

🛑 When you make any duaa, include your parents, grandparents, offspring, your offsprings offspring and the Muslims.

I pray Allah allows you to make the most of this precious day. I pray He guides you to make the best of du'aas. I pray He accepts from you. I pray He grants you guidance and elevates your status in this life and the next! Aameen.

- Quran Juz 15 – Sub’hanalladhiz - Summary:

 - Quran Juz 15  – Sub’hanalladhiz Summary Join Us:  https://chat.whatsapp.com/EwGX2NFn95O2Bo92HkyyiI •        Surah Isra/Bani Israel: This chapter talks about the night journey of Prophet Muhammed ﷺ toward the Heavens (Isra & Meraj), an honor that no one else other than our beloved Prophet Muhammed ﷺ received. Isra was the beloved’s ﷺ journey from Makkah to Jerusalem, and Meraj was that from Jerusalem to the Heavens. •        This chapter also mentions in detail many incidents of Bani Israel. •        Allah’s wisdom behind taking Prophet Muhammed ﷺ to Jerusalem was to grant him and his followers the custodianship of Masjid al-Aqsa, just like that of Masjid al-Haraam in Makkah.  •        Though this chapter is themed at Tawheed, morals, affirmation of the Doomsday, but it also focuses on messengership, and particularly in that of Prophet Muhammed’s ﷺ. •        The ...

Prophet (s.a.w) warned his Companions from harming or abusing their animals:

- The Prophet Muhammed ﷺ: THE ADVOCATE FOR ANIMAL RIGHTS  From the mercy of Prophet Muhammad ﷺ is His ﷺ mercy towards animals. He ﷺ taught His ﷺ followers that even animals have rights and that we must show them mercy and kindness. He ﷺ warned his Companions from harming or abusing their animals. On one occasion, the Prophetﷺ came across an emaciated camel that was tied up to a column. Seeing this distressed Himﷺ.  He told His ﷺCompanions to fear God with respect to these animals, as they will be held accountable on the Day of Judgement in their treatment regarding them. On another occasion, God's Messenger ﷺ passed by a man who was milking a sheep. He ﷺ said: "When you milk her, leave some for her lamb because it is one of the gentlest of animals." Speaking of the rights of animals, He ﷺ also said: "Ride these animals as long as they are healthy, and do not take them as seats (when not riding)." And: 'God orders you to treat these beasts of burden well when...

A lot of times, its not the message itself, but how you present it, that moves hearts and changes minds:

Once, the Caliph `Umar saw a group of people around a campfire in the middle of the desert. Instead of calling out to them with the phrase, 'O people of the fire!', he chose, 'O people around a light,' to make sure that a potentially negative phrase didn't affect them. At another time, the grandsons of the Prophet (salla Allah alayhi wa sallam) saw an old man performing wudhu, but making many mistakes. Instead of berating him, they went up to him and said, 'The two of us are arguing which one has the better wudhu, and we'd like you to be the judge between us.' When he saw how perfect their wudhu was, he said, 'It is my wudhu that needs to be corrected, not yours.' A famous preacher of the last generation - during a time when there was a raging debate regarding the theological verdict of the one who abandons the prayer, is he a Muslim or not - was asked, "What is your opinion about the one who abandons the salat?" The person that as...

Allaah did not call him Khaleel after a single moment. The friendship ripened through repeated surrender, across fire and desert and stone:

 - Allaah did not call him Khaleel after a single moment. The friendship ripened through repeated surrender, across fire and desert and stone. - Taqwa, when it matures in the crucible of trial, is the precise and correct ordering of the loves within a heart. It is the absolute knowledge of which love sits upon the throne, and which loves, however deep, however true, however entirely lawful, must bow beneath it.  - Tawakkul is the heart’s genuine reliance upon Allaah as the sole ultimate cause of all things, combined with the employment of every legitimate means. Islam teaches freedom from servitude to causes without teaching contempt for them. It is the settled condition of a heart that has understood that creation possesses only delegated force. What burns burns because it is permitted to burn; what heals heals because it is permitted to heal. No thing in creation holds or withholds what belongs solely to the Creator. - Hasbunallaahu wa ni’mal Wakeel. Allaah is sufficient for...

We must circulate the money by rotating it whatever amount we have, instead of having desires to earn more:

 - August-04-2021. Today's learning: **Money controlling efforts:*   *Introduction:*  Islam has always reminded us to address the human problems by continuously checking and balancing the wealth, instead of remaining in the hands of few.So, the method of rotation must keep going on, in order to allow the free flow of money between all the people. No matter what, ultimately even after our great efforts to hoard it, one day or the other it's going to leave us eventually.  *Hard earned money:* Islam says that hard earned money's value is more loved by Allah subhanahu wa taala as was earned by Prophet Dawood (peace be upon him).Allah made the iron smooth for him to turn it into different shapes and make it a useful commodity/good. Once Prophet Muhammad (sallallahu alaihi wasallam) was asked about the best job, and he replied by saying. "A job that is done by one's own hand,and every decent trade. Hadith Imam Ahmed (16628).  *Methods of utilising:* One could spe...

I am on duty to serve:

When an European Airline was initially launched, an educated Muslim gentleman was travelling in the first class section. An air hostess approached him with a complimentary drink, this was an alcoholic drink so the man politely refused. The air hostess returned but this time bought the drink on a platter, designed to appeal and impress. However the Muslim man again politely refused, explaining he doesn't drink alcohol. The air hostess was concerned and informed the manager. The manager approached the man with another platter, now designed with flowers, he questioned, “is there something wrong with  service? please enjoy the drink, it is a complimentary offer.” The man replied, “I am a Muslim and I do not drink alcohol.” The manager still insisted that the man take the drink. Then, the Muslim proposed that the manager should give the drink to the pilot.. The manager stated, “how can the pilot drink alcohol, he’s on duty!  And if he drink...
