Account for Your Deeds before the Final Reckoning
The early generations of Islam are called the best generation because they competed in trying to come close to Allah The Almighty by performing good deeds, and they were equally swift in holding themselves to account for the mistakes they committed. They remained between a state of hope and fear that Allah The Almighty might not accept their deeds from.. More -
Different Types of Women in Ramadan: Which One Are You? – II
Some women go to the mosque just to spend some time out of their homes or to see some of their friends and acquaintances, not for the sake of praying. Such women might turn the prayer area into a place for private conversations and their voices may be loud enough for the men to hear them. Some women do not know the rulings of the congregational..

Different Types of Women in Ramadan: Which One Are You? – I
Some women spend most of their time in Ramadan in the kitchen and do not dedicate time to remembering Allah The Almighty or reciting the Quran. A woman in this category misses out on the reward of such good deeds and behaves as if the month of Ramadan is just a month for indulging in eating and drinking, not a month for fasting, praying..

Nights of Hope - II
If a person was given the opportunity to meet the greatest king of the world, to sit and talk with him alone, and to be presented with his best gifts, he would stop eating and sleeping out of extreme joy. He would count the days and minutes waiting for this meeting. Allah The Almighty has promised us a special opportunity to talk to Him privately in.. More -
Don't be a Loser in Ramadan
The month of great rewards has come to us in all its beauty and glory. It is an honoured guest and a blessed month; its virtues are clear and its blessings manifest. No one can enumerate its bounties and fruits. When it comes, a caller gives this beautiful call: "O seeker of good, proceed! O seeker of evil, desist! Allah saves some people from.. More -
Nights of Hope - I
The days of Ramadan are a special time when the blessings and mercies of Allah The Almighty are bestowed abundantly. So let us hasten to acquire the gifts of our Lord in the mosques and look for them during the third part of the night. Purify yourselves physically and spiritually as you stand before Allah, The King, conversing with Him through reciting.. More -
Weeping in Taraaweeh: Permissible or Impermissible?
Among the dispraised practices in mosques during the Taraaweeh (voluntary night prayers) is the act of crying aloud and sobbing by some Imams or some worshippers. This is not in conformity with the guidance of the Prophet, sallallaahu ‘alayhi wa sallam, his Companions or the righteous predecessors when they used to listen to the Quran. The Prophet,.. More -
Ramadan: The Season of Supplications
The supplication of Yoonus (Jonah), may Allaah exalt his mention, is one of those narrated on the authority of the Messenger of Allah, sallallaahu ‘alayhi wa sallam, which was answered from Allah The Almighty. The Messenger of Allah, sallallaahu ‘alayhi wa sallam, said: "As for the supplication of Thun-Noon (Yoonus), therewith he supplicated.. More -
The Key to the Gate Called Rayyaan – II
Every Ramadan, we observe some people spending their nights playing cards and their days waiting to feast on food after breaking the fast. Indeed, they never experience the true spirit of Ramadan, as they are always suffering from some worry and worldly concern. In the case of some women, their only concerns are clothes and makeup. They spend their.. More -
The Key to the Gate Called Rayyaan - I
Once, on a day that I will never forget, we went with some colleagues to offer condolences to someone who was recently bereaved. One of our brothers gave a sermon, asking Allah The Almighty to have mercy upon the deceased, and in the end, he said, "I ask Allah to let us live long enough to witness Ramadan." We greeted the family of the deceased.. More -
Pursue Good Deeds in What Remains
Ramadan is like age; it is short and passes by quickly. A wise person spends Ramadan engaged in doing what benefits him in the Hereafter -- not in being preoccupied with something else until it ends, and then regretting his inaction when regret will not bring about any benefit. Sometimes, a person may reach middle age before he wakes up from his heedlessness.. More -
An Hour in the Company of The Beloved
Allah The Almighty Says (what means): {They arise from [their] beds; they supplicate their Lord in fear and aspiration, and from what We have provided them, they spend. And no soul knows what has been hidden for them of comfort for eyes as reward for what they used to do.} [Quran 32:16 -17] The Prophet, sallallaahu ‘alayhi wa sallam, said: "Whoeve.. More -
'I Respond to the Invocation of the Supplicant'
It is no coincidence that the noble verse in which Allah The Almighty Says (what means): {And when My servants ask you, [O Muhammad], concerning Me - indeed I am near. I respond to the invocation of the supplicant when he calls upon Me.} [Quran 2:186] comes among the verses about fasting in Soorah Al-Baqarah to draw the attention of the whole Ummah.. More -
Offering Iftaar to Fasting Muslims
It is well known that Allah The Almighty rewards people in abundance for giving Iftaar in Ramadan, besides granting them the virtue of the fasting person and the rank of those who observe it; hence, the reward for giving them Iftaar is very great. The Prophet, sallallaahu ‘alayhi wa sallam, informed us about the reward for that deed saying: “Whoev.. More -
A Teardrop in Ramadan
I shed a teardrop in Ramadan over those who do not take into consideration the sacredness of this month, its virtues and merits. They not only receive it as they receive other months – with sins and blatant violations -- they even stray farther away from Allah The Almighty. They invent all types of sins and abominations, depriving themselves and.. More
