The Prophet (ﷺ) said about fasting;

"Observe fasting; there is nothing like it." (1)

He (ﷺ) also said:

"When a person fasts for a day, for the sake of Allah, Allah drives away the Hell-Fire from him to a distance of seventy years of traveling." (2)

📆 Days of Fasting for Safar 📆

The days of the White (nights) of Fasting for Safar fall on Sunday 13th of November till Tuesday the 15th.

Make sure you fast, winter fasting is a treasure many are heedless of!

It was narrated that Abu Hurayrah (رضي الله عنه) said:

“My close friend [the Prophet (ﷺ)] advised me to do three things which I will not give up until I die: fasting three days of each month, praying Duha, and sleeping after Witr.” (1)

He (ﷺ) said: “Fasting three days of each month is fasting for a lifetime, and ayyam al-beedh are the thirteenth, fourteenth and fifteenth.” (2)

—

(1) - [Bukhaari, 1124; Muslim, 721].

(2) - (Narrated by al-Nasaa’i (2420); classed as saheeh by al-Albaani in Saheeh al-Targheeb, (1040)).

If you can't fast the middle three days;

Shaykh Muhammad ibn al-‘Uthaymeen (‎رحمه الله) was asked: 'When fasting three days of every month, is it essential that it be only on the ayyaam al-beed? Or is it permissible to fast any three days of the month?'

He replied:

“It is permissible to fast at the beginning of the month, in the middle or at the end, on consecutive days or separately.

But it is better if it is done on the three ayyaam al-beed, which are the thirteenth, fourteenth and fifteenth.

‘Aa’ishah (رضي الله عنها) said: The Prophet (ﷺ) used to fast on three days of every month, and he did not mind whether he fasted at the beginning or at the end of the month.”

[Majmoo’ Fataawa al-Shaykh Ibn ‘Uthaymeen, 20/question no. 376].

Some of the brothers opened a page sharing beautiful short clips of different Imams and various Qir'at.

The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said:

“Whoever among you wakes up physically healthy, feeling safe and secure within himself, with food for the day, it is as if he acquired the whole world.”

[Sunan Ibn Majah]

Ibn al-Salah said,

"It has been narrated that the Angels were not granted the virtue of reciting the Quran. Due to that, they hasten to listen to its recitation from mankind. Hence, reciting the Quran is a blessing that Allah has honored you with, so take advantage of it."

The days of the White (nights) of Fasting for Rabi al-Awwal fall on Tuesday the 13th till Thursday the 15th of December.

Make sure you fast, winter fasting is a treasure many are heedless of!

It was narrated that Abu Hurayrah (رضي الله عنه) said:

Jâbir (رضي الله عنه) relates that the Prophet (ﷺ) said:

“Friday is comprised of twelve hours. There is one in which a Muslim who asks Allah for something will have it granted to him. Seek it in the last hour after `Asr.”

[Sunan Abî Dâwûd (1048), Sunan al-Nasâ’î (1389) and Mustadrak al-Hâkim(1032)].

Duʿā does not go in vain. But Allah has a wisdom in setting the time for its response, so one should think positively of Him.

The Prophet ﷺ was under siege in Makkah and yet his plight was not removed except after three years although he was the best of creation.

"Stop acting that you care about Islam only and only when your life style is at risk.

When was last time you really learned anything about your religion that wasn't a whatsapp message or a Facebook post?

Stop talking about the affairs of the Muslims as if you know everything.

Stop the rubbish and learn. I am sick and tired of people arguing about every point and everything yet never learned the basics of what they are talking about.

Stop thinking that you are guaranteed the approval of ALLAH for a post you made or a "like" button you clicked.

Stop man. Get to work. Life is shorter than what you think. Death is closer to you than your jugular.

Muawiyyah conquered Europe when he got angry.

Almu'tasim conquered Amorium when he got angry.

Muhammad Al-Fatiha conquered Constantinople when he got angry.

Abdurrahman Alghafiqi reached Paris when he got angry.

What you do when you get angry? Turn on the TV? Or play video games?

I don't tell you to conquer anything. All I ask you for is stop talking about that which you have no clue of. I beg you."

- Sh. Fadi Kablawi (حفظه الله)

Never belittle any of the good deeds you perform, especially the prayers you do in devotion and sincerity to Allah ‎ﷻ.

'Ibn Mas'ud (رضي الله عنه) reported:

❝A man kissed a woman and he came to the Prophet (ﷺ) and made a mention of that to him.

It was (on this occasion) that this Ayah was revealed:

‎وَأَقِمِ الصَّلَاةَ طَرَفَيِ النَّهَارِ وَزُلَفًا مِنَ اللَّيْلِ ۚ إِنَّ الْحَسَنَاتِ يُذْهِبْنَ السَّيِّئَاتِ ۚ ذَٰلِكَ ذِكْرَىٰ لِلذَّاكِرِينَ

And establish prayer at the two ends of the day and at the approach of the night. Indeed, good deeds do away with misdeeds. That is a reminder for those who remember.

[Surah Hud - 11:114]

That person said, 'O Messenger of Allah (ﷺ), does it concern me only?.'

He (ﷺ) said, 'It concerns the whole of my Ummah.'❞ (❶)

Abu Bakr as-Siddiq (رضي الله عنه) said:

“Allah forgives major sins, so do not be afraid, and Allah punishes for minor sins, so do not be deceived.” (❷)

Among the causes of having worries disappear and sins forgiven is sending ṣalāh (supplications for peace) upon the Prophet ﷺ, and the effect of sending ṣalāh upon him on Friday is greatest. The Prophet ﷺ said to the one who would send ṣalāh upon him, “You will be freed of your worries and your sins will be forgiven.”

من أسباب زوال الهموم وغفران الذنوب الصلاة على النبي ﷺ، ويوم الجمعة يكون أثر الصلاة أعظم، قال النبي ﷺ للمصلي عليه (تُكفى همك ويُغفر لك ذنبك)

Ibn Rajab al-Ḥanbāli (‎رحمه الله) said:

"And from the greatest of voluntary deeds that brings you closer to Allāh is abundantly reciting Qur'ān, listening to it, pondering upon it and understanding it."

{جامع العلوم والحكم ٢/٣٤٢}

Imam Dhahabi (‎رحمه الله) said:

“The highest levels and ranks [in Jannah] are for someone who cries at night [to Allaah] and smiles during the day [to people].”

[Siyar a’lam an-Nubala (v. 1, p. 141)]

📆 Days of Fasting for Jumada al-Awwal 📆

The days of the White (nights) of Fasting for Jumada al-Awwal fall on Friday the 10th till Sunday the 12th of February.

The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said:

‘Shall I not tell you of something that will take away the evil of the heart? Fasting three days of each month.’ (1)

Abu Hurayrah (رضي الله عنه) said: My friend (the Prophet ﷺ) advised me to do three things and I shall not leave them till I die, these are: To fast three days every month, to offer the Duha prayer, and to offer witr before sleeping. (2)

Make sure you fast and share with others!

❝Salahuddin (r) was Ash'ari in Aqeedah and in terms of Fiqh, he was a Shafi'i. Ibn Qudama (r), who is referred to by many as Shaykhul Islam fought under the banner of Salahuddin was Athari in Aqeedah and in terms of Fiqh, he was Hanbali - this did not prevent them from uniting.

Ibn Taymiyyah (r), studied under many of the scholars of the Ash'aris and he even fought under the banner of the Mamlukes-the rulers of that time- the generality of them were Ash'aris - again, this did not prevent them from uniting to fight external enemies. In fact, in fighting the Tatar invasion of the Muslim lands, Ibn Taymiyyah fought alongside Sufis and others.

This is #UNITY.❞
