Ramadhan 1428!!!

1. Bismillah means – In the name of Allah.

2. yeah we become better people. it's sorta like a time to improve ourselves.

3. If you don't…then Allah will deal with you. because its compulsory upon every mature sane Muslim to fast during Ramadhan. And the ruling is…if you miss one day of ramadhan without a reason (i.e sickness, old age…because those ppl are excused and also a woman on her period is not supposed to fast or pray either…but she has to make the fasting up after Ramadhan ends. for the days she missed only) you have to fast 60 consecutive days just for missing one day without any valid reason.

4. Some don't…some remain as good. others, sadly enough, act like it never happened. that's why i'm saying, we should continue on even after Ramadhan Inshallah.

(I hope that made sense )

you can't do anything that will displease Allah Ta'ala. things like backbiting, arguing, slandering, going places where you shudnt go, seeing things you shouldn't see, listening to things you shouldn't listen to, cursing…and so forth. And it doesn't really matter if YOU know if the person is good or bad, what matters is what Allah knows…and He knows everything

from Saudia? that Taraweeh sheikh is pimp! his voice makes me cry every time. Subha'Allah!!

I know!!!! it's beautifulll!!!

early Ramadan Mubarak loserina!!

Alhamdulillah, I'm so glad Rani

I realised that for me, every Ramadan I have additional goals. Every Ramadhan I just want to add on to what I have on my list. Alhamdulillah. It's a beautiful feeling, it truly is.

So during Ramadan, a huge part of it is abstaining from things you shouldnt do, things you shouldnt see, lying, etc. etc. – > this is strictly to be done during Ramadan – shouldnt the teachings strictly say not to do these things from your beginning until your end?? And… say people abstain from everything bad during Ramadan and just go back to their 'self' how they were before (lets assume they lied and stuff before) … is that gonna be like..okay? Since, at least they didnt do it through Ramadan?

well, as Muslims we're supposed to be righteous and good all our lives. But because Ramadhan is so special…we get the chance to do more righteous deeds and because we are HUMAN beings…we make mistakes…we sin…so it's a month to train ourselves to be righteous all the time. Insha'Allah.

Anyways,

I have a question. I've observed a few Muslim girls who wore hijabs alot then all of a sudden I see them stop wearing it. I have a friend who use to wear it all through high school, she switched to another school and when I saw her back, she stopped wearing it … like on a daily basis..i think except for when she goes to Mosque , so she says. I never asked why because I dont want to be rude. Can someone tell me what are the reason/s for this or is it just like a personal choice?

It's a personal choice…It has been written in the Qur'an that every Muslim woman needs to cover up, but as I said we are all humans, we have our desires, we have our choices…and that doesn't mean that your friend is right about taking her hijab off…it's wrong, but that's something that's between her and Allah…we have no right to judge.
let me add, In Islam, there is no point in forcing anyone to do anything. Because…hey, if you're not doing something because you want to and you're not sincere about it…Allah wont accept it. May Allah accept us all Insha'Allah

you're welcome. Ramadhan isn't equivalent to any other act though. There are so many blessings. I mean, we know that the doors of paradise are all open, and we know that the doors of hell are closed and that shaytan is behind bars/chained. what else do we want? That's like Allah is saying…Whoever obeys me and does good and abstains from evil…then Jannat is his…
…

And yeah…in the end…hijab is a personal choice. It's the connection we decide to establish between us and Allah.

NUH UH! I JUST WROTE A WHOLE ESSAY ABOUT MY DAY AND IT DIDNT GO THROUGH *dies*

I was watching a talk about backbiting the other day…so i thought i might post about it Insha'Allah:

Rasoolullah said, “A man might speak a word without thinking about its implications, but because of it, he will plunge into the Hell-Fire further than the distance between the east and west” (narrated by Bukhari and Muslim).

In Islam, we are prohibited from gossiping about someone behind their back if it is something disliked to that person. You may ask, what if we are speaking the truth? If one is speaking the truth about someone behind their back, then this is backbiting and it is dispicable. If one is speaking falsehood about someone behind their back, then this is slander, something even worse.

Kab al-Ahbar said: “Backbiting nullifies a person’s good deeds.”

Not only is backbiting considered a sin in Islam, but it is considered a major sin by the consensus of scholars considering the implications mentioned about in the Quran and Sunnah. The Quranic verses dealing with backbiting include:

1. “O you who believe! Let not some men among you deride others who may be better than they (are), nor let women (deride) women who may be better than they are; neither defame one another, nor insult one another by nicknames. Evil is a bad name after faith.” (Surat Hujurat, 49:11)
2. “O you who believe! Shun much suspicion; for lo! some suspicion is a crime. And spy not, neither backbite one another. Would one of you love to eat the flesh of his dead brother? You would abhor that. And keep your duty (to Allah). Lo! Allah is Relenting, Merciful.” (Surat Hujurat, 49:12)
3. “Neither obey thou each feeble oath-monger; detractor, going about with slander.” (Surat Qalam, 68:10-11)
4. “Woe to every sneering defamer.” (Surat Humaza, 104:1)

Sneering can be considered defamation by actions (instead of words). Sneering can include actions as small as even rolling one’s eyes. Furthermore, Surat Humaza (The Transducer) is dedicated to answering those that gossip about others. Therefore, as Muslims, it is a duty incumbent upon us to safeguard our tongues from saying anything we would regret later on.

Muadh ibn Jabal (ra) asked Rasoolullah (SAW) to inform him of some good work that would admit him into
Paradise and distance him from the Hell-Fire. Rasoolullah (SAW) mentioned to him the virtues of many good deeds, then said: “Shall I inform you of the foundation of all of that?”
Muadh said: “Certainly.”
Rasoolullah (SAW) took hold of his own tongue and said: “Restrain yourself from this.”
Muadh then asked: “O Rasoolullah! Are we held to task for the things that we say?”
Rasoolullah (SAW) replied: “May your mother be bereaved of you, O Muadh! Does anything topple people headlong into the Hell-Fire save the harvests of their tongues?” (narrated by Tirmidhi and Ibn Majah)

Rasoolullah (SAW) said, “One of the greatest of the major sins is to stretch out one’s tongue without right against the honor of a Muslim” (narrated by Abu Dawud).

Aisha (ra) relates that she said to Rasoolullah (SAW), “It should tell y

I've been thinking of death a lot lately so here it goes…

`A’ishah (radhiAllâhu `anha) reported that she asked Allâh’s Messenger sallallaahu ‘alayhi wa sallam, “O Messenger of Allâh! If I knew which night is Laylat ul-Qadr, what should I say during it?” And he instructed her to say: Allahumma innaka ‘affuwwun tuhibbul ‘afwa fa’fu ‘anni’ O Allâh! You are forgiving, and you love forgiveness. So forgive me. [Recorded by Ahmad, Ibn Majah, and at-Tirmithi]

Abu Hurayrah (radhiAllâhu `anhu) narrated that the Messenger sallallaahu ‘alayhi wa sallam said: “Whoever stands (in qiyaam) in Laylat ul-Qadr [and it is facilitated for him] out of faith and expectation (of Allâh’s reward), will have all of his previous sins forgiven.” [Al-Bukhârî and Muslim; the addition “and it is facilitated for him” is recorded by Ahmad from the report of `Ubaadah Bin as-Samit; it means that he is permitted to be among the sincere worshippers during that blessed night.

“Allâh’s Messenger sallallaahu ‘alayhi wa sallam used to exert more (in worship) on the last ten than on other nights.” [Muslim]

And Laylatul Qadr is not in any specific day, it can be any of the odd days during the last ten days of Ramadan. however, some scholars say that it's on the 27th of Ramadan, for on that day, the Qur'an was revealed. And Allah Knows Best.
