Blue_Sky_Reflected_Water_Adapted from “Wa maadha ba`da Ramadaan”, by Dar Al-Watan (120)

AlHamdulillahi wa kafaa, was-Salatu was-salamu `alaa `ibaadihi-lladheena Stafaa

We leave the blessed month of Ramadan, its beautiful days and its fragrant nights. We leave the month of the Qur’an, taqwa, patience, jihad, mercy, forgiveness and freedom from hellfire…

Have we fulfilled the requirements of taqwa and graduated from the Ramadan school with the diploma of the god-fearing?

Have we fought our souls and desires and defeated them, or have we been overtaken by our customs and blind imitations?

Have we performed our actions in a way that fulfills the conditions for receiving mercy, forgiveness and release from the Fire?

Many questions and numerous thoughts come to the heart of the sincere Muslim, who asks and answers with truthfulness.

What Have We Gained From Ramadan?

Ramadan is a school of iman and a ’stop to recharge one’s spiritual batteries’ – to acquire one’s provision for the rest of the year…

Is it permissible to fast the six days of Shawwaal before making up days that I did not fast in Ramadaan, if there is not enough time left in the month to do both? May Allaah reward you with good.

Praise be to Allaah.
Fasting six days of Shawwaal is dependent upon having completed the Ramadaan fast, according to the correct view. This is indicated by the words of the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him): “Whoever fasts Ramadaan then follows it with six days of Shawwaal, it will be as if he fasted a lifetime.” Narrated by Muslim, 1164.
The conjunction thumma (then) indicates that this must be done in this order. This indicates that the fast of Ramadaan must be completed first (by observing the Ramadaan fast and making up any missed fasts), then after that one may fast the six days of Shawwaal, so as to attain the reward mentioned in the hadeeth.

EID MUBARAK!!

May Allah accept our Ramadan, guide us to continue striving to do the good deeds and worship all year round, and bless us to see another Ramadan. Ameen

Here’s a quick flash presentation that I made that’ll remind you of the sunnats to do on Eid.

You might already know this stuff, but it’s something really beneficial to share with family members, extended family and friends.

Taken from – Muhammad Alshareef

Subhan Allah 27 days of a Month of mercy and blessings has passed us by already ,and now we’re still in the last 10 days of Ramadan so let us make the most of these precious few days by asking Allah to accept our good deeds and rush in doing good deeds, and asking him to pardon our sins specially in the nights of Ramadan..

Because who knows when truly Lailatul Qadr will fall but Allah Subhana’Wa Ta’ala.

”A reminder for you and I: WHAT IF!!! Laylatul Qadr is tonight? Will we be ready? I want to take advantage of every night of the last ten nights! It’s too precious – the reward of 1000 months is too great!
With best wishes to see you succeed at the highest level!
- Muhammad Alshareef www.PostRamadan.com”

lailatul-qadr-dua1

Allahumma innaka ‘affuwwun tuhibbul ‘afwa fa’fu ‘anni’ ”

- Meaning of the Dua
O Allah You are The One Who pardons greatly, and loves to pardon, so pardon me.

Anticipation heightened

then quietened

Uncertain fluctuation

I’d be lying

if I didn’t say

my butterflies have begun to flutter

emerging for it’s pupa

with much celerity

Your eminent arrival

Highly spoken of

Now marked by

a thin crescent.

Preparation admittedly in haste

everything but cordial.

All Praise due

to the one behind your arrival

 

Sweet tears in solitude

Your nights I seek

with a gentle light

the passing of which

unfolds another

To undress my soul

to rejuvenate

to reveal

and emerge out new

purified.

My thirst now satiates

A thin crescent

Marks the end

Sadness eruptes

A vacant expression

Lips quiver

‘Oh must you leave’

I repress obediently

I address nonetheless

Happiness to be expressed

All Praise due

to the one behind your departure

Bittersweet

Still in dire need

Fear hope entwined

Deeds, Du’aa , Adkhar

Acceptance I hope

Rejection I dread

All Praise due

to the one behind

your departure and arrival

for he still exists eternal

Perpetually nurturing

his slave’s weak dependant soul.
