As many of us are excited this Ramadaan let's remember some of us are sad and heavy hearted this Ramadaan.
Some of us have lost family members who will not be with us this Ramadaan
Some of us have gone through divorce and are struggling as single mums with young children to look after and fasting all alone
Some of us have lost a husband (or a husband has lost his wife) and is struggling to cope
Some sisters have suffered a miscarriage or stillborn or some parents have lost a child whom they will dearly this Ramadaan
Some of us are living in non Muslim countries and have no immediate family
Some of us have health issues and cannot fast this year
Some of us are going through mental illness such as depression, anxiety, PTSD etc
Some of us are suffering from evil eye, magic and jinn posession issues
Some of u are struggling financially, their husbands have lost jobs and can barely afford anything
Lets be kind and considerate to everyone this Ramadaan. If they don't turn up for Taraweeh or Salaah don't judge them. If someone is not fasting they might be sick, remember not every sickness is physical or visible.
Invite others to your home and share Iftaar or send food to your local Islamic centre or Masjid as many are lonely and depressed doing it all alone. Check up on your sisters in Islaam
For those going through hardships be patient for the sake of Allah. Dont let Shaytaan make you feel depressed because Shaytaan loves it when a believer is sad. Ask Allah to keep you steadfast, turn to Him for truly He's the Best of Helpers.
On the authority of Abu Musa who said:
❝When the Messenger [ﷺ] would send one of his companions for something he would say: ‘Give good news and do not push people away. Make things easy and do not make things difficult.’❞
[Silsilah Ahadeeth As-Saheehah of Shaykh Al-Albaani, (No. 992) | Translated By Abbas Abu Yahya]
On the authority of Sufyan Bin ‘Uayainah, on the authority of Ibn Al-Munkadir in a narration ascribed to the Prophet [ﷺ]:
❝From the best of actions is to make a believer happy, to pay his debt off for him, to take care of his need and to relieve him from distress.❞
[Silsilah Ahadeeth As-Saheehah of Al-Albāni, (No. 2291) | Translated By Abbas Abu Yahya]

"Fasting" is proof that you can stop bad habits.
"Taraweeh" is proof that you can pray voluntary prayers at night.
"Suhur" is proof that you can wake up for Fajr.
"Iftar" is proof that you can do Sabr.
Islam isn't hard. You just haven't realized your own potential yet.

Ramadan will come, and people will fall into four groups.
The first group:
Ramadan enters, and nothing changes. No fasting. No prayer. No concern for the commands of Allah.
The second group:
They abstain from food, drink, and marital relations. But their tongues are still loose. They backbite. They slander. They hurt others.
The third group:
They fast properly. They guard their tongues. They avoid harming others. They stay away from what is haram.
But then there is a fourth group.
They do everything the third group does and more.
They engage the heart.
They read Qur’an daily.
They stand in Qiyam.
They increase in Sadaqah.
They make Dhikr.
They purify their intentions.
They honour Ramadan as the sacred symbol of Islam that it is.
They don’t just fast from food.
They fast from distraction.
From ego.
From heedlessness.
And through that… they attain Taqwa.
The question is: which group will we choose to be in?

Be careful not to become the reason someone turns to Allaah in pain, fear, or deep regret because of you.
Every tear they cry is seen by Him. Every broken prayer is heard.
You may forget what you did, but Allaah never misses the hurt done to His servants. What you cause in silence is never hidden from Him.
So choose kindness. Choose fairness. Because one day, every action will be answered before Him ﷻ

May the Qur’an be a witness for us and never against us.
In every generation, the danger has never been the absence of the Qur’an but the absence of living by it. Today, many people memorise beautifully, recite perfectly, and collect books of tafsīr and ḥadīth… yet the Qur’an remains distant from their actions. We honour its words with our tongues, but forget its commands in our daily choices.
The Prophet ﷺ warned us of a time when people would carry the Qur’an but not allow it to transform their character. Knowledge becomes decoration, not guidance. Memorisation becomes competition, not reflection. We gather verses in our hearts, but fail to let them shape our homes, our dealings, our justice, our compassion, our integrity, and our worship.
This is the real fear:
A person may stand on the Day of Judgement with the very Qur’an they memorised testifying against them not because they lacked knowledge, but because they abandoned practice.
Look at our world today: injustice spreads, families break, hearts harden, and yet Qur’ans sit on shelves untouched except in ceremonies. We have replaced implementation with information, reflection with repetition, and obedience with selective comfort.
The Qur’an was not revealed to be recited only it was revealed to reform.
Not to be memorised alone but to be manifested.
Not to be placed above our heads but to govern our lives.
So let this be our reminder:
Every verse is either a proof for us or a proof against us.
Let us strive to make it a guide we follow, a healing we seek, and a witness that speaks in our favour on the Day when nothing else will.
O Allah, make the Qur’an the light of our hearts, the guide of our actions, and the witness that pleads for us, not against us.

On the authority of ʿAa’ishah (may Allah be pleased with her), who said:
Hamzah ibn ʿAmr al-Aslami (may Allah be pleased with him) said to the Prophet ﷺ:
“Am I to fast while traveling?”
And he was a man who fasted a lot.
So the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said:
“If you wish, then fast, and if you wish, then break your fast.”
(Reported by al-Bukhari and Muslim.)

ʿAa’ishah (may Allah be pleased with her) narrates that Hamzah ibn ʿAmr al-Aslami, who was known for fasting frequently, asked the Prophet ﷺ about fasting while traveling. The Prophet ﷺ clarified that fasting during travel is a matter of choice, and that Allah has granted a concession to the traveler. A person may either fast or break the fast, depending on what is easier for them, and there is no sin in choosing either option.
𝘽𝙚𝙣𝙚𝙛𝙞𝙩𝙨
✨ This hadith establishes that fasting while traveling is permissible, and that breaking the fast is a legislated concession from Allah. It shows that Islam is built upon ease and mercy, and that rulings take into account a person’s ability and condition. The hadith also clarifies that accepting Allah’s concession is not blameworthy, nor is fasting for the one who is able without hardship.

Are You Fasting?
Fasting is more than an empty plate.
The body can be restrained for a day.
But can the heart be restrained for a month?
It is easy to abandon food.
It is harder to abandon arrogance.
It is easy to leave water.
It is harder to leave anger.
It is easy to count the hours until Maghrib.
It is harder to count the words we release.
The Messenger of Allāh ﷺ said:
“Whoever does not give up false speech and acting upon it and ignorance, Allāh has no need of him leaving his food and drink.”
Ṣaḥīḥ al-Bukhārī, 1903
Fasting was not prescribed to make us hungry.
Allāh ﷻ says:
“O you who believe, fasting has been prescribed for you as it was prescribed for those before you that you may attain taqwā.”
Sūrah al-Baqarah 2:183
Taqwā is not thirst.
It is restraint when tempted.
It is patience when provoked.
It is sincerity when unseen.
It is guarding the heart before guarding the plate.
Ramadān is not only about what we avoid.
It is about who we become.
A true fast refines the tongue,
softens the heart,
strengthens the character,
and reminds the soul of its Lord.
May Allāh ﷻ allow our fasting to transform us, not just tire us.
Āmīn.

Supplication (Du'aa) for Protection and Combating Magic (Sihr):
Beneficial supplication that can be very effective by the permission of Allah, in removing the evil effects of witchcraft (Sihr).
Narrated by Taab'i, Ka’b al-Ahbar (Radiy'Allahu'Anhu) states:
“Had it not been for the phrases that I recite regularly, the Jews would have turned me into a Donkey (out of Witchcraft). It was said to him: “What are these phrases ?” He replied:
أَعُوذُ بِوَجْهِ اللَّهِ الْعَظِيمِ الَّذِي لَيْسَ شَىْءٌ أَعْظَمَ مِنْهُ وَبِكَلِمَاتِ اللَّهِ التَّامَّاتِ الَّتِي لاَ يُجَاوِزُهُنَّ بَرٌّ وَلاَ فَاجِرٌ وَبِأَسْمَاءِ اللَّهِ الْحُسْنَى كُلِّهَا مَا عَلِمْتُ مِنْهَا

“I seek the protection of Allah the Great; He, than whom there is nothing greater. And I seek the protection of the perfect words of Allah which no man, virtuous or evil, can even transcend; and I seek the protection of all the beautiful names of Allah, those of them which I know and those which I do not know, from the evil of everything He (Allah) created, to which He has given existence, and which He has spread (over the earth or universe).”

There are people who wake up for Fajr…
And there are people who unlock Hajj and ‘Umrah before breakfast.
The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said:
“Whoever prays Fajr in congregation, then sits remembering Allah until the sun rises, then prays two rak‘ahs, will have the reward of Hajj and ‘Umrah complete, complete, complete.”
(Tirmidhi)
Complete.
Complete.
Complete.
Think about that.
No ihram.
No airport.
No long journey.
Just:
• Fajr in the Masjid
• Sitting in dhikr, Qur’an, tasbih, reflection
• Waiting until sunrise
• Two rak‘ahs
And Allah writes for you the reward of Hajj and ‘Umrah.
The early scholars used to guard this time fiercely. They knew the first hour of the day determines the barakah of everything that follows.
Most people rush into dunya at sunrise.
The believer rushes into Jannah before sunrise.
Tomorrow morning…
Don’t just pray Fajr.
Stay.
And watch what Allah writes for you.

✒ Majority Of Muslim Lives Are Between 60-70 Years
Prophet Muḥammad Ṣallallāhu-ʿAlaihi Wa Sallam said:

Ibn Abbās (raḍiyAllāhu ‘anhu) said:
Allah took responsibility for who reads the Quran and acts on what is in it; he won't go astray in this life nor despair in hereafter.

📖 1. The Nafs Commands to Evil
Surah Yusuf (12:53)
Arabic:
وَمَا أُبَرِّئُ نَفْسِي ۚ إِنَّ ٱلنَّفْسَ لَأَمَّارَةٌۢ بِٱلسُّوٓءِ إِلَّا مَا رَحِمَ رَبِّىٓ ۚ إِنَّ رَبِّى غَفُورٌۭ رَّحِيمٌۭ
Wa mā ubarri’u nafsī, inna an-nafsa la-ammāratun bis-sū’i illā mā raḥima rabbī. Inna rabbī ghafūrun raḥīm.
English:
“And I do not absolve myself. Indeed, the soul is surely a persistent enjoiner of evil, except those upon which my Lord has mercy. Indeed, my Lord is Forgiving and Merciful.”
👉 This shows that sometimes the danger is not Shaytan it is our own Nafs.
📖 2. Shaytan Only Whispers
Surah Ibrahim (14:22)
Arabic:
وَمَا كَانَ لِىَ عَلَيْكُم مِّن سُلْطَٰنٍ إِلَّآ أَن دَعَوْتُكُمْ فَٱسْتَجَبْتُمْ لِى
Wa mā kāna lī ‘alaykum min sulṭānin illā an da‘awtukum fastajabtum lī.
English:
“And I had no authority over you except that I invited you, and you responded to me.”
👉 Shaytan only invites. The Nafs accepts.
📖 3. Success is in Controlling the Nafs
Surah An-Nazi‘at (79:40–41)
Arabic:
وَأَمَّا مَنْ خَافَ مَقَامَ رَبِّهِۦ وَنَهَى ٱلنَّفْسَ عَنِ ٱلْهَوَىٰ
فَإِنَّ ٱلْجَنَّةَ هِىَ ٱلْمَأْوَىٰ
Wa ammā man khāfa maqāma rabbihī wa nahā an-nafsa ‘anil-hawā, fa inna al-jannata hiya al-ma’wā.
English:
“But as for he who feared standing before his Lord and restrained the soul from (its) desires, then indeed, Paradise will be his refuge.”
“Shaytan whispers… but the Nafs decides.
The real battle is within.”
“In Ramadan, Shaytan is chained…
Yet sins still happen. Why?
Because the Nafs is still alive.
The real jihad is against the self.”
(Qur’an 12:53 | 79:40-41)
Surah Yusuf (12:53)
Arabic:
وَمَا أُبَرِّئُ نَفْسِي ۚ إِنَّ ٱلنَّفْسَ لَأَمَّارَةٌۢ بِٱلسُّوٓءِ إِلَّا مَا رَحِمَ رَبِّىٓ ۚ إِنَّ رَبِّى غَفُورٌۭ رَّحِيمٌۭ
Wa mā ubarri’u nafsī, inna an-nafsa la-ammāratun bis-sū’i illā mā raḥima rabbī. Inna rabbī ghafūrun raḥīm.
English:
“And I do not absolve myself. Indeed, the soul is surely a persistent enjoiner of evil, except those upon which my Lord has mercy. Indeed, my Lord is Forgiving and Merciful.”
👉 This shows that sometimes the danger is not Shaytan it is our own Nafs.
📖 2. Shaytan Only Whispers
Surah Ibrahim (14:22)
Arabic:
وَمَا كَانَ لِىَ عَلَيْكُم مِّن سُلْطَٰنٍ إِلَّآ أَن دَعَوْتُكُمْ فَٱسْتَجَبْتُمْ لِى
Wa mā kāna lī ‘alaykum min sulṭānin illā an da‘awtukum fastajabtum lī.
English:
“And I had no authority over you except that I invited you, and you responded to me.”
👉 Shaytan only invites. The Nafs accepts.

The Ruling On Not Fasting In Ramadan Due To Work
Question: What is your view, O noble Shaykh, of the person who has an arduous job and it is difficult for him to fast, can he break his fast?
Shaykh Muhammad Bin Salih Al-Uthaymeen [رحمه الله] said:
❝The opinion I hold in this issue is that for a person to break his fast due to work is Haram and not permissible.
If it is not possible to combine between work and fasting, then that person should take a holiday in Ramadan, so that he can make a way for him to fast in Ramadan.
This is because fasting the month of Ramadan is a pillar from the pillars of Islaam it is not allowed to leave it.❞
[Fatawa Arkan Al-Islaam, (Page: 349) | Translated By Abbas Abu Yahya Miraath Al-Anbiyya]

If you don't find me in Jannah, ask about me...
Surely the people of Jannah when they enter Jannah and they don’t find those companions of theirs who were with them upon good in this world, then verily they will intercede for them in front of Allah Ta’ala and they will say: “O Rabb we have brothers who used to read salaah and fast with us, we do not see them!”
Allaah, jalla wa’alaa, will say •►“Go to the fire and take out any person who had even an atoms amount of Imaan in their heart!” ♥️
[A similar narration is available in both Bukhari and Muslim from the hadith of Abu Sa’eed Al-Khudari concerning the intercession of the believers on the day of Judgment]
And Hassan Basri, rahimahu Allah, has said ► “Have lots of believing friends because they will be able to intercede for you on the day of qiyaamah”
Ibnul Jawzi, rahimahu Allah, said ►“If you don’t find me with you in Jannah then ask about me, so u should say ‘ O our Rabb so and so slave of yours used to remind us about you”.
And I am asking you…
If you don’t find me in Jannah then ask about me, because I reminded you of Allah (swt) even if it was only for one moment. :’)
May Allah make us neighbors in His Gardens of Eternal Delight! Ameen 🤲🏼

Just because someone is "family" doesn't mean you have to tolerate lies, chaos, drama, manipulation and disrespect.

From Day 1 of marriage, Ahmed started sending 25,000 every month to his parents.
No excuses. No delays.
Parents lived in a small town. Simple life. No demands.
8 years passed.
24 lakh sent.
Ahmed always thought,
“At least they are comfortable.”
In 2024, his father passed away suddenly.
While arranging documents, his mother handed him a bank passbook.
Balance: 29.5 lac
Every rupee Ahmed sent… was saved.
Plus Fixed Deposit.
Inside the passbook, there was a small folded note:
“For your children’s future. – Papa”
Ahmed thought he was supporting them.
They were silently building his safety net.
Moral:
Parents never stop being parents.
Even when you think you are the provider. ❤️

These are some points to keep in mind regarding prayer times—especially in Ramadan—for those in Saudi Arabia and neighboring countries that follow the Umm al‑Qurā calculation method:
FAJR: Wait at least 5–10 minutes after the start of the adhān, especially sisters who pray at home. Do not rush to pray as soon as the adhān begins. Let the mu’adhdhin finish, then wait a few more minutes to ensure the time has actually entered.
ZUHR: The same applies here—wait at least five minutes to make sure the time has begun.
MAGHRIB: Hasten to pray it after the adhān—within 45 minutes to be on the safe side. Never ever delay it beyond one hour. Do not assume that the time lasts until the ‘Ishā adhān, which for the sake of convenience, is set at 1 hour 30 minutes after Maghrib on normal days, and 2 hours after the adhān in Ramadan. Rather, it ends earlier— the exact time depending on the day and month of the solar year.
‘ISHA: Those who pray at home—such as women—may safely pray ‘Ishā one hour and 15 minutes after the Maghrib adhān, throughout the year. There is no need to wait for the ‘Ishā adhān to be called.
As for the detailed explanation and reasoning behind what I’ve mentioned, I will leave that for another time. And this is not something novel from me; you will find fatāwā from Ibn ‘Uthaymīn, Sa‘d al‑Khathlān, and others along the same lines.

the two rakʿahs Sunnah of Fajr are prayed after Fajr time enters, not before it. The confusion usually comes from sloppy English phrasing like “before Fajr prayer,” which really means before the obligatory Fajr prayer, not before Fajr time.
Here’s the proof, clean and airtight 👇
1️⃣ Clear Hadith: No prayer after true dawn except the Sunnah of Fajr
Ḥadīth
لَا صَلَاةَ بَعْدَ طُلُوعِ الْفَجْرِ إِلَّا رَكْعَتَيِ الْفَجْرِ
“There is no prayer after the rising of Fajr except the two rakʿahs of Fajr.”
📚 Sunan al-Tirmidhī (419) – ḥasan ṣaḥīḥ
📚 Also reported by al-Nasāʾī and others
Point of evidence:
The Prophet ﷺ explicitly ties the Sunnah to after Fajr has risen
If it were prayed before Fajr enters, this statement would make no sense
2️⃣ Sunnah prayed between the Adhān and the Iqāmah
Ḥadīth of ʿĀʾishah (رضي الله عنها)
كَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ إِذَا طَلَعَ الْفَجْرُ صَلَّى رَكْعَتَيْنِ خَفِيفَتَيْنِ
“When Fajr began (طلع الفجر), the Messenger of Allah ﷺ would pray two light rakʿahs.”
📚 Ṣaḥīḥ al-Bukhārī (1094)
📚 Ṣaḥīḥ Muslim (724)
Linguistic precision:
ṭalaʿa al-fajr (طلع الفجر) = true dawn has entered
Not “close to Fajr”
Not “before Fajr”
After Fajr time begins
3️⃣ The Adhān itself proves it
The Prophet ﷺ said:
إِنَّ بِلَالًا يُؤَذِّنُ بِلَيْلٍ فَكُلُوا وَاشْرَبُوا حَتَّى يُؤَذِّنَ ابْنُ أُمِّ مَكْتُومٍ
“Bilāl gives the adhān at night, so eat and drink until Ibn Umm Maktūm gives the adhān.”
📚 Ṣaḥīḥ al-Bukhārī (617)
📚 Ṣaḥīḥ Muslim (1092)
Why this matters:
Ibn Umm Maktūm’s adhān was at true Fajr
The Sunnah prayer was prayed after this adhān
Before that = night → no Fajr Sunnah yet
4️⃣ Explicit statement of the scholars
Imām al-Nawawī (رحمه الله)
“The Sunnah of Fajr does not become valid until Fajr time enters.
Whoever prays it before Fajr, it does not count.”
📚 Sharḥ Ṣaḥīḥ Muslim
Ibn Qudāmah (رحمه الله)
“Its time begins with the appearance of true dawn.”
📚 al-Mughnī (2/96)
5️⃣ Why the English wording causes confusion
When books say:
“The Sunnah of Fajr is prayed before Fajr prayer”
They mean: ✅ Before Ṣalāt al-Farḍ
❌ NOT before Fajr time
Arabic is precise:
قبل صلاة الفجر = before the obligatory prayer
Not قبل دخول الفجر (before Fajr enters)
✅ Final ruling (no ambiguity)
✔️ True dawn (Fajr) enters
✔️ Adhān is called
✔️ Two rakʿahs Sunnah are prayed
✔️ Then the obligatory Fajr
❌ Praying them before Fajr time = invalid Sunnah, becomes a nafl at best
You’re 100% correct — and this is the clear Sunnah, language, and scholarly consensus.

Reading Star Signs
Shaykh Salih Alaa ash - Shaykh [حفظه الله] said:
❝Whoever reads the page which contains star signs and he knows the star sign of when he was born, or he knows that star sign which is significant for him, and he reads the comments mentioned in that star sign then it is as if he has asked a soothsayer/fortune teller. So his prayer would not be accepted for forty days.
If he attests to it and believes in that star sign then he has disbelieved in that which was revealed to Muhammad [ﷺ] ... [the Shaykh continues saying]: and if he brings home newspapers which contain these type of things then it is as if he brought a soothsayer/fortune teller into his house.❞
