Hadith : Whenever you see these eclipses pray and invoke (Allah) till the eclipse is over
Narrated Abu Bakr Radi Allahu Anhu Allah's Messenger Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam said: "The sun and the moon are two signs
amongst the signs of Allah and they do not eclipse because of the death of someone but Allah frightens His devotees with them."
Sahih Bukhari, Book 18, 158
Narrated Abu Bakr Radi Allahu Anhu We were with Allah's Messenger Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam when the sun eclipsed. Allah's
Messenger Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam stood up dragging his cloak till he entered the Mosque. He led us in a two-rakat prayer till the
sun (eclipse) had cleared. Then the ProphetSallallahu Alaihi Wasallam said, "The sun and the moon do not eclipse because of
someone's death. So whenever you see these eclipses pray and invoke (Allah) till the eclipse is over.

Don’t be amazed at the knowledge of someone who is able to quote from memory and bring out benefits from books if he doesn’t teach the basics to his young students
A real scholar is one who teaches the basics before the advanced knowledge, so stick to the one who benefits you, not just the one who amazes you.

Security First
You can't have prosperity without safety. Prophet Ibrahīm - 'alayi-s-salām - prayed for safety in the town before asking for substance, telling that security is a prerequisite for blessings a f growth in the community.
Without safety, economies struggle and people suffer; security is a big deal today.
He - 'alayi-s-salām - prayed, "And [mention] when Abraham said, My Lord, make this a secure city and provide its people with fruits..."
I{وَإِذۡ قَالَ إِبۡرَ ٰهِـۧمُ رَبِّ ٱجۡعَلۡ هَـٰذَا بَلَدًا ءَامِنࣰا وَٱرۡزُقۡ أَهۡلَهُۥ مِنَ ٱلثَّمَرَ ٰتِ...}

تَنَامُ عَيْنَاكَ وَالْمَظْلُومُ مُنْتَبِهٌ ** يَدْعُو عَلَيْكَ وَعَيْنُ اللَّهِ لَمْ تَنَمِ
📌 Do not oppress if you are granted the means, ** For oppression returns to its doer as terrible regret.
📌 Your eyes may sleep, but the oppressed are vigilant; ** They pray against you, and God’s eyes never sleep.
Rasulullaah ﷺ said, “Beware of the prayer of the oppressed, for there is no barrier between it and God.”

You have been waiting. Waiting for the job. Waiting for the marriage. Waiting for the breakthrough. Waiting for things to finally fall into place. And some days it feels like nothing is moving. Like you have been stuck in the same place for too long.
But here is what you need to remember.
Yusuf AS spent years in a dark well and in prison. Then in a single moment Allah elevated him to a position of power that no one could have predicted. Years of waiting. One moment of divine decree.
That is how Allah works. Not always slowly and gradually. Sometimes suddenly. Sometimes overnight. Sometimes in ways that leave you speechless and in tears of gratitude.
Your situation is not permanent. Your struggle is not your destination. Allah has not forgotten you. He is simply preparing you.
And when He says it is time, nothing in this world can stop what He has written for you.
"Indeed, with hardship comes ease." — Ash Sharh 94:6
"And whoever relies upon Allah, then He is sufficient for him. Indeed, Allah will accomplish His purpose." — At Talaq 65:3

Assalāmu ʿalaykum wa raḥmatullāhi wa barakātuh dear brothers and sisters,
Ramadan is slipping away from us.
Just a few days ago we welcomed this blessed month… and now it is almost leaving. Many of us started Ramadan with hopes, goals, and promises to ourselves. Now is the time to make the most of what remains.
These are the days of Dua. The days when hearts soften and when Allah is closest to those who call upon Him.
We are living in uncertain times. We do not know what tomorrow holds. But we know that Allah is Al-Mujib — the One who responds to every sincere call.
So do not let these precious days pass without turning to Him.
Make abundant Duas for:
• Yourself
• Your parents and family
• Your friends
• Those who have passed away
• And the entire Muslim Ummah
Ask Allah using the authentic supplications taught by our beloved Prophet Muhammad ﷺ.
On this channel you will find:
• Authentic supplications for everyday situations
• Beautiful Quranic Duas
• Comprehensive supplications from the Sunnah
• Powerful Duas every Muslim should know
Please visit the Media section of this channel where the posters are organized for your ease. I will also be sharing some of them here, in shaa Allah.

According to the Salafi fiqh position, Zakat al-Fitr must be given as food, not money, following the practice of the companions.
The evidence is the hadith of
Abdullah ibn Umar who said:
The Messenger of Allah ﷺ obligated Zakat al-Fitr as one saʿ of dates or one saʿ of barley upon every Muslim, free or slave, male or female, young or old.
Amount for one person
📏 1 Saʿ of food
1 Saʿ ≈ about 2.5 – 3 kg (5–6.5 lbs) of staple food such as:
• Dates
• Barley
• Wheat
• Rice
• Raisins
• Corn or other staple food of the land
Example for 1 person
Give about 3 kg (around 6 pounds) of a staple food.
When to give it
• Best time: 1–2 days before Eid
• Latest time: before the Eid prayer
If it is given after the Eid prayer, it becomes regular charity, not Zakat al-Fitr.
Who you must pay for
You pay for:
• Yourself
• Anyone you are financially responsible for (children, dependents)
⸻
Since you are in Atlanta, many people give a bag of rice (about 5–6 lbs) per person to fulfill the Sunnah amount.
Food Type
Approximate Amount
Rice
6 lbs (about 2.7 kg)
Dates
6 lbs
Barley
6 lbs
Raisins
6 lbs
Wheat
6 lbs
Corn / maize
6 lbs
This is based on the hadith reported by Abdullah ibn Umar that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ obligated one Saʿ of food.
Who Receives It
It should go to poor Muslims so they can eat on the day of Eid.
Best Time to Give
• 1–2 days before Eid
• Allowed during the last part of Ramadan
• Must be before the Eid prayer
Intention
Make the intention in your heart that it is Zakat al-Fitr for yourself (or the person you are paying for).
Example
If you are giving for one person, you could give:
• 1 bag of rice (about 6 pounds) to a poor Muslim.
