Naturally, we cannot do the same amount of worship in Shawwāl that we did in Ramaḍān. However, we should maintain a strong desire to continue worshipping Allah and progressing in our journey to Him. A sign of our Ramaḍān being accepted is that Allah (ʿazza wa jall) grants us tawfīq to continue worshipping Him. Thus, we should ensure that, even though Ramaḍān has ended, our daily Qur’ān recitation, dhikr, duʿā’, fasting, and night prayer does not end, even if it is little. Our beloved Prophet ﷺ told us that that the most beloved deeds to Allah are those which are constant, even if they are a few (Muslim).

Al-Masjid al-Aqṣā will remain shut for the fifth consecutive Jumuʿah, marking 35 days of continuous closure.

O Ummah of two billion, the sanctity of al-Masjid al-Aqṣā is being violated before our eyes, and our imprisoned brothers and sisters, steadfast in the face of oppression, now face execution. Remain vigilant and aware, and do what you can in support of al-Masjid al-Aqṣā and the prisoners.

At the forefront of the Ummah are its imāms and khuṭabāʾ.

Please kindly dedicate your Jumuʿah khuṭbah to al-Masjid al-Aqṣā and the steadfast prisoners, and remind the congregation of the gravity of what is unfolding.

#HandsOffAlAqsa

Send abundant ṣalawāt upon the one who won hearts through his character, captivated souls through his love, and made mankind cry out of yearning for him.

Ṣall Allāhu ʿalayhi wa sallam.

اَللّٰهُمَّ صَلِّ عَلَىٰ مُحَمَّدٍ وَّعَلَىٰ اٰلِ مُحَمَّدٍ ، كَمَا صَلَّيْتَ عَلَىٰ إِبْرَاهِيْمَ وَعَلَىٰ اٰلِ إِبْرَاهِيْمَ ، إِنَّكَ حَمِيْدٌ مَّجِيْدٌ ، اَللّٰهُمَّ بَارِكْ عَلَىٰ مُحَمَّدٍ وَّعَلَىٰ اٰلِ مُحَمَّدٍ ، كَمَا بَارَكْتَ عَلَىٰ إِبْرَاهِيْمَ وَعَلَىٰ اٰلِ إِبْرَاهِيْمَ ، إِنَّكَ حَمِيْدٌ مَّجِيْدٌ

The best day of the week is here.
Honour this day through the acts of Jumuʿah.

In times of trials and turmoil, a servant most needs:
1-basīrah (insight)
2-thabāt (steadfastness).
Basīrah allows one to recognise truth, navigate confusion, and understand the dangers of trials.
Thabāt enables one to follow the truth, remain committed despite hardship, and find peace and trust in Allah.

Seek this blessed moment in the last period after ʿAṣr.

Turn to Allah and raise your hands in duʿāʾ. Make duʿāʾ for yourself and for the Ummah.

Let no duʿāʾ pass without mentioning al-Masjid al-Aqṣā and the steadfast Muslims across Palestine and Gaza.

O Allah, liberate al-Masjid al-Aqṣā, free the prisoners from the oppressors, and bring relief to the Ummah of Muḥammad ﷺ.

From Friends of Al-Aqsa (FOA)

Masjid Al-Aqsa belongs to the entire Muslim Ummah — its protection is a shared responsibility upon us all.
Now is not the time for silence.

We call upon Muslims across the world to unite and take part in the global X Storm this Saturday 4 April at 12PM – 12:30PM (UK time).

Evaluate Your Ramadan

We can evaluate our Ramaḍān by asking ourselves the following questions:

1. Did my īmān in Allah increase? What do I know about Allah that I didn’t prior to Ramaḍān? Do I feel closer to Him?

2. Did I go to Allah with a broken heart in utter desperation? Did I humble myself as a true servant of His?

3. Were there times in the month where my heart felt overwhelmed with love and gratitude for Allah?

4. Did my love for Allah’s Messenger ﷺ increase? Which sunnah am I going to start implementing in my life that I previously didn’t used to do?

5. Did my worship in Ramaḍān purify and soften my heart?

6. Did my fasting cause me to give up my bad habits?

7. Which sins of the eyes and the tongue did I give up? What steps am I going to take to maintain this?

8. Did I improve my akhlāq in this month?

9. Did I become a more gentle and loving family member?

10. Did I taste the sweetness of spending in the path of Allah? Did I give charity in secret?

11. Has Ramaḍān made me more determined to continue serving the dīn of Allah and the Ummah?

12. Did I taste the sweetness of solitude with Allah at night in qiyām? Has it made me determined to continue with this good deed?

13. Did I feel a difference in the quality of my ṣalāh?

14. Did I feel emotionally connected to the Qur’ān?

15. Did I feel the closeness of Allah when making duʿā’ to Him?

16. Did I do dhikr with the presence of my heart?

17. Which one act of worship am I going to hold on to from Ramaḍān, something which I previously did not used to do?

18. What do I not want to lose of Ramaḍān?

19. Do I feel a greater level of self-control now that Ramaḍān is over?

20. If Allah gives me life, what two things will I do differently next Ramaḍān?

A deeply painful and heartbreaking scene: the adhān of Fajr raised in al-Masjid al-Aqṣā, yet its prayer halls and courtyards remain empty of worshippers, as the occupation continues its closure for the thirty-seventh consecutive day.

Yesterday, Israeli settlers and rabbis were allowed to enter and perform their Talmudic rituals at the al-Burāq Wall (Western Wall), while Muslim worshippers continue to be barred from al-Masjid al-Aqṣā as it remains shut in the face of two billion Muslims.

The Western Wall, known as the Burāq Wall, is where the Prophet ﷺ tied the Burāq on the Night Journey, and where the Prophets before him tied their mounts.

The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said:

“The Burāq was brought for me: a tall white beast, larger than a donkey but smaller than a mule. It could place its hooves at the farthest boundary of its gaze. I mounted it until I arrived at Bayt al-Maqdis. I tied it to the ring where the Prophets would tie their mounts (i.e. the Burāq Wall or Western Wall). I then entered the masjid and prayed two rakʿahs there, and then left” (Muslim).

The reality is clear: this is not about safety measures under the pretext of war. It is a deliberate step by the occuption to take full control of al-Masjid al-Aqṣā.

O Allah, foil the plans of the enemies, purify al-Masjid al-Aqṣā from the occupation, and reopen its doors to the believers.
