Ramazan Mubarak message:



This is another opportunity by Allah (SWT) for us to observe the fasting of Ramazan. This Ramazan is very different for this generation. For some, it is a good time with family. And for some, this is a challenging situation, in terms of personal and professional life. Most of us are on an off, or working from home or doing part-time work if you are running an essentials supply business. Nevertheless, it’s a different experience.
Everything is from Allah (SWT), and this test is also from Allah (SWT), let us be a better Momin.

Spend Quality time with Allah (SWT):

You wanted to do Tilawat of Quran, but work-life commitments and the travel time used to consume a lot of your Ibadat time. This Ramazan you have got a lot of time for Quran, Namaz, Taraweh, Dua, Zikr and so on. Make good utilization of your time to make a good and stronger connection with Allah (SWT). This is an opportunity for us to get closer to Allah.

Spend Quality time with Family:

What special opportunity does this Ramazan has for us. It has given an abundance of time to spend with family. Do you remember the kind of rush we used to do to come back home on time for Iftari. Now, this Ramazan you do not have to panic to rush back home, you are spending quality time at home, enjoy every movement with your family. Do Namaz together, listen to Quran together, do charity together, teach your children together. This is an opportunity for us to get closer to Allah as well as with people.

Do lots of spending on Charity:

Prophet Mohammed (S.A.W) is an example for us to learn charity, He (S.A.W) is the one who used to give more and more, and in many instances giving food to needy by being hungry himself. Charity is part of Islam. Charity is a sign of Emaan. In this challenging pandemic situation worldwide, let’s open our hearts and minds, and help not only our community but help humanity as well at large. This is an opportunity for us to get closer to Allah as well as with people.

The Prophet Muhammad (S.A.W) said: "Charity given to a relative it serves a double purpose, being both charity and a connecting link." - Al-Tirmidhi, Hadith 606
The Prophet Muhammad (S.A.W) said: "Give charity without delay, for it stands in the way of calamity." - Al-Tirmidhi, Hadith 589

In this challenging pandemic situation please do cooperate with authorities.
Follow the instructions given by central, state and local authorities (Reference https://daruliftaa.com/miscellaneous/obeying-the-law-of-the-land-in-the-west/).
Muslims must adhere to the laws of any country they live in, whether in the west or the east, as long as the law is not in contradiction with one’s religion. When one lives in a particular country, one agrees verbally, in writing or effectively to adhere to the rules and regulations of that country. This, according to Shariah, is considered to be a covenant, agreement and trust. One is obliged to fulfil the trust regardless of whether it is contracted with a friend, enemy, Muslim, non-Muslim or a government. 
Sayyiduna Abd Allah ibn Umar (RZ) narrates that the Messenger of Allah (S.A.W) said: “It is necessary upon a Muslim to listen to and obey the ruler, as long as one is not ordered to carry out a sin. If he is commanded to commit a sin, then there is no adherence and obedience.” (Sahih al-Bukhari, no. 2796 & Sunan Tirmidhi)
This Ramazan stay at home, stay safe, stay blessed.

Ramazan Kareem,

A child doesn’t break loudly. It happens quietly:

 - Be honest with yourself for a moment… When you see a child struggling… angry… insecure… constantly seeking attention… do you ever stop and ask, what did they grow up around? Who was present… and who wasn’t? Who listened… and who dismissed? Who loved… and who controlled? The Prophet ﷺ didn’t just speak about worship… he spoke about responsibility. كُلُّكُمْ رَاعٍ وَكُلُّكُمْ مَسْئُولٌ عَنْ رَعِيَّتِهِ Each of you is responsible… and each of you will be questioned. And Allah didn’t say fix the world. He said protect your families. قُوا أَنفُسَكُمْ وَأَهْلِيكُمْ نَارًا This is where it begins. A child doesn’t break loudly. It happens quietly… in the way they start doubting themselves… in the way they stop feeling safe… in the way they look for love in the wrong places. So ask yourself… What is your home producing? Because one day… your child will become someone’s spouse… someone’s parent… someone who shapes the world. And whatever you planted… will not stay inside your home. Source...

Prophet Muhammed ﷺ – The Best Father Ever..

-  *Prophet Muhammed ﷺ – The Best Father Ever* Prophet Muhammed ﷺ was a perfect father and a unique grandfather. He was unique in every way. He treated his children and grandchildren with great compassion, and always directed them towards goodness and hereafter. He smiled at his children, loved them, but did not allow them to neglect matters related to the afterlife. In worldly matters he was extremely open, but when it came to maintaining their relationship with God, he was dignifiedly serious. He showed his children how to lead a humane life, and never allowed them to get spoiled.  It is narrated in Muslim by Hadrat Anas bin Malik (ra), who served Prophet Muhammed ﷺ for ten continuous years, as saying: “I have never seen a man who was more compassionate to his family members than Prophet Muhammed ﷺ.” All of Prophet Muhammed’s ﷺ sons passed away in infancy – so was Hazrat Ibraheem (ra), his son through Sayyida Maria (ra). When Hazrat Ibraheem passed away, the prophet took in ...

Its all about connection of heart:

There was a Sheikh who was teaching his students Aqeedah (Faith), He taught them 'La ilaha illa Allah' and explained it's meaning to them. The Sheikh loved keeping pets, so he was given a parrot by one of the students as a gift. And with days the Sheikh started to like the parrot. He used to take it to his lessons, until the parrot knew how to say "La ilaha illa Allah", and would  utter it day and night. One day the students found their Sheikh crying and sobbing. When they asked him the reason, he told them that a cat attacked the parrot and killed it. They said: "Is this the reason you are crying?"... If you wish we will bring you another parrot better than that one. The Sheikh said: I am not crying because of this... But it made me cry when the cat attacked the parrot. It was shouting and screaming until it died. He used to say la ilaha illa Allah a lot. However, when he was attacked by a cat he forgot to say it. He did nothing but scream...

The current situation- "Allah has made it a mercy for the believers." (Read the details from Hadith):

السلام عليكم ورحمة الله وبركاته Just wanted to share some advice that was given by a person of knowledge. He mentioned that pandemics like this are rare, and that a person may only experience a pandemic like this (i.e. on this huge scale) once in their life. He mentioned that this is a gold mine that we have been blessed with. He mentioned that some of us will come out having built palaces in Jannah for themselves, whilst others will have not benefited at all. He mentioned the following hadith: A'isha RA reported: She asked the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, about plagues and he said, “It is a punishment that Allah sends upon whoever he wills, but Allah has made it a mercy for the believers. *Any servant who resides in a land afflicted by plague, remaining patient and hoping for reward from Allah, knowing that nothing will befall him but what Allah has decreed, he will be given the reward of a martyr.*” Source: Ṣaḥīḥ al-Bukhārī 5402 There are f...

The Doctor, Medicine and Muslims past 1000 years:

 - Muslim science  par excellence  was the study of medicine. Interest in medicine goes back to the very earliest times. The Prophet himself stated that there was a remedy for every illness, and was aware that some diseases were contagious. The great contribution of the Arabs was to put the study of medicine on a scientific footing and eliminate superstition and harmful folk-practices. Medicine was considered a highly technical calling, and one which required long study and training. Elaborate codes were formulated to regulate the professional conduct of doctors. It was not enough to have a mastery of one’s subject in order to practice medicine. Certain moral qualities were mandatory.  Ibn Hazm  said that a doctor should be kind, understanding, friendly, good, able to endure insults and adverse criticism; he must keep his hair short, and his fingernails as well; he must wear clean, white clothes and behave with dignity. Before doctors could practice, they had to...

15 Things About The Character of Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) Every Muslim Must Spread:

 🌸15 Things About The Character of Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) Every Muslim Must Spread: If there is any personality that has lived on the face of this earth who was complete in every regard and the life of whom can serve as a beacon of guidance for people of every walk of life, that personality would undeniably be the personality of Muhammad (PBUH). Muslims follow Him because of Him being the Prophet as their religion and those who do not follow Islam also hold Him at a higher pedestal when it comes to human character. Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) was born in Saudi Arabia in the city of Makkah about 1400 years ago. Since then the world has not seen the likes of Him in every regard and the study of human history shows that there have been none better than Him before Him as well. The key factor that brings reverence and respect to Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) in both the Islamic and the non-Islamic circles is His character. He was the best in character and He also said about in one of His hadith...
