And oh no I don’t mean that!

But rather decide that ONE THING!
That ONE THING you want from Ramadan!
What is that ONE thing you want?!
Deep in your heart.
Is it forgiveness?

It’s Ramadan ladies! It’s time to ask!
It’s time to go get what you want from your Rabb!
What will you ask for? How big will you make it? How much will you dare to imagine your Rabb giving you for yourself?
For it is not HE that limits you but you that limit yourself.
So ask? For HE has the keys to the treasures of the heavens and the Earth.
Ask for HE says BE and it is.
Ask! Ask! Ask! And Pump it up! Let’s pump that dua up! Let’s take it up a notch! Let’s taking it up a 100 notches! A 1000 nothes! A million notches! Let it be infinite! Pump it up! Let’s pump it ladies! Let’s pump it up!
And o use that power! That power your soul gets when Ramadan starts! That power your soul cultivates when the ego is starved and parched! Use that power within! To build! To build yourself! To build for yourself!
What are you building?
What kind of Jannah do you want?
What kind of YOU do you want?
Build it! Build YOU! Build it all! And pump it up! Let’s pump it up ladies! Let’s pump it up!
It’s Ramadan ladies! So Let’s pump it up!
Let’s go deep and transform from deep within.

And once again let me remind you, your schedule need not be full
It need not be changed
But o you can add depth, you can deepen those intentions, you can add presence, you can add focus, you can breathe in ALLAH’s name and then breathe it out.
You can do all that and more without changing a single thing.
So breathe,
Breathe in mercy from your Rabb
Breathe in forgiveness
Breathe in love
Breathe in generosity
Breathe in power from your Rabb
And then with every out breath
Exhale
Exhale from deep within
And release
Release all that is holding you back
Release the sins and repent
Release the heavy burdens and allow yourself to float with tawakkul
And if anything feels to hard to solve hand it over to your LORD
Knowing nothing is hard for him
It’s Ramadan sisters!
It’s Ramadan!
It’s the month of mercy
The month of forgiveness
It’s that month of attaining the ultimate success and releasing yourself from the fire of hell.
It’s Ramadan ladies! So pump it up! Let’s pump it up. ♥️♥️💪🏽💪🏽🌊🌊

#Duaa
THE DUAA OF A FASTING PERSON ✨
The Prophet Muhammad (ﷺ) said:
"There are three whose supplication is not rejected: The fasting person when he breaks his fast, the just leader and the supplication of the oppressed person.
Allah raises it up above the clouds and opens the gates of heaven to it. And the Lord says: ‘By My might, I shall surely answer you/aid you, even if it should be after a while.'"
📚: Jami at-Tirmidhi 3598 | Hasan
The Prophet Muhammad (ﷺ) said:
"When the fasting person breaks his fast, his supplication is not turned back."
📚: Sunan Ibn Majah 1753 | Hasan
Imam Nawawi (رحمه الله) said:
"It is mustahabb for the fasting person to offer supplication whilst fasting with regard to what concerns him of the hereafter and of this world, for himself, for those whom he loves, and for the Muslims."
📚: Majmoo, 6/375

📚: Majmoo, 6/375
This is so soothing Masha Allah 💜
Yesterday, I had a rough few hours in the afternoon. At a certain point, I was in the middle of cooking dinner and I was getting splattered by hot oil as I sauteed the kabobs on the stove, I had a child waiting for me to help him in the bathroom, another child asking me questions about elongation (ّالمد, madd), and the baby woke up from a 5-minute nap and started crying to be nursed.
Stressed out by these disaparate tasks that all required my attention simultaneously, I was grumbling to myself in frustration.
The 10-year-old came and started helping me in the kitchen, without being asked.
The 8-year-old came, patted my arm, and told me soothingly,
"لا تَحْزَنِي، قَدْ جَعَلَ رَبُّكِ تَحْتَكِ الجنَّة!"
I hugged that sweet boy, grease and all.
Translation:
"Don't be sad. Indeed, your Lord has made beneath you Jannah!"
This is a reference to the ayah in Surat Maryam describing what
I had told my children wonderingly, "Isn't it so amazing, if it was `Isa عليه السلام speaking here in this ayah, how he as a baby was comforting his mother when she was stressed? Isn't that so beautiful?"
They had agreed, and we had delved into an animated discussion about the rest of this segment of the surah.
Now fast forward a few hours later, as I stood in the middle of my kitchen, getting bombarded with hot oil splatters and urgent requests from various parties, my children came to try to help. One son stepped in voluntarily to help, and another tried to comfort me by reminding me of the hadith about Jannah being under the feet of mothers, while also referencing the same ayah I had taught them from Surat Maryam.
It made me smile and tear up with emotion at the same time.
Children take up our time, energy, effort, attention, and all kinds of other resources. Being a parent can be very stressful and overwhelming at times.
But it can also be so, so beautiful!
Children can be so unbelievably sweet mashaAllah. They hate to see their parents struggling or stressed, and they try their best to help in any way they can, even as young as toddlers.
Additionally, children absorb and synthesize information in a superb way, often much more advanced than us as adults! They retain what they learn and piece things together that go together, their young brains like little computers.
So here was my young son trying to comfort me by reminding me of a hadith I had taught him about the status of the mother and showing me that he had understood and still remembers an ayah I had taught him about the pain of a mother.
My efforts are not in vain inshaAllah.
All my stress vanished in that moment, lifted by my son's words and what they represented.
Mothers, your children love you and your work with them matters.

"Don't be sad. Indeed, your Lord has made beneath you Jannah!"
This is a reference to the ayah in Surat Maryam describing what
Isa عليه السلام told his mother to comfort her when she was dealing with the intense pain of labor:
فَنَادَىٰهَا مِن تَحْتِهَآ أَلَّا تَحْزَنِى قَدْ جَعَلَ رَبُّكِ تَحْتَكِ سَرِيًّۭا.
"But he called her from below her, "Do not be sad; your Lord has made beneath you a stream." (Surat Maryam, 24)
Just a few hours earlier, we were listening to Surat Maryam and I had been explaining to the kids the meaning of these ayat. There is a difference of opinion on who spoke to Maryam from beneath her, with some mufassirun saying it was an angel and others saying it was the baby (Isa عليه السلام). I had told my children wonderingly, "Isn't it so amazing, if it was `Isa عليه السلام speaking here in this ayah, how he as a baby was comforting his mother when she was stressed? Isn't that so beautiful?"
They had agreed, and we had delved into an animated discussion about the rest of this segment of the surah.

I met a Muslim sister who moved to the US from Yemen four years ago.
"What was the biggest culture shock for you that you had to adjust to, moving to America? What's the biggest difference between life here and life in Yemen?" I asked her.
"Haya', (الحياء)" she answered simply. "It was a big shock for me when I first moved here. Here people have no haya', men or women. But I'm especially shocked at the women!"
"In Yemen, we are very careful with how we women interact with the men. If we are ever around non-mahram men, we don't have anything to do with them.
And if we have to speak to strange men for any reason, we don't look them in the eye. Out of haya'.
But here in America, they don't understand this! They see haya' as weakness. If I don't look a strange man in the eyes, they think I don't have self-confidence. Americans think that making long eye contact with strangers is a sign of self-confidence. So if I look away, they feel sorry for me or think there's something wrong. So I've had to force myself to learn to lift my eyes to the faces of strange men if I talk to them!"
"No, don't change!!" I couldn't help telling her. "You are the one who's doing the right thing! Don't lose it!"
"Don't worry," she smiled. "I won't lose my haya' inshaAllah. How can I? It's not possible to lose something that is the *very core* of who you are. A woman is haya' itself. Without haya'...what makes her a woman?"
I laughed, delighted and amazed at her refreshingly simple and correct framing of the issue. "You are absolutely right," I said.
"This is why it's been the biggest shock for me, coming to this country and seeing for the first time women act without haya' in the way they dress, the way they make eye contact, the way they speak, the way they walk. What makes me saddest is how many Muslims in America have imitated them in their loss of haya'. I had not expected this."
She has no idea the extent of the problem, the depth of the damage.
Unfortunately, we have some so-called "Islamic institutes" and "seminaries" who claim to teach their Muslim students "American Islam" where the men and women mix freely, take pictures together at their events, women take selfies side-by-side with the popular celeb "imam" or "shaykh," and men and women look directly at one another's faces.
You definitely can't say these types of westernized American Muslims lack "self-confidence," that's for sure!
But whatever self-confidence they may have is no match for the sense of haya' they lost.
There is no perfect counterpart in English for the Arabic word الحياء. The closest meanings come from words such as: modesty, shyness, bashfulness, decency. Haya refers to that natural, innate sense of modesty or shyness that guides a human being away from all evil and toward all good.
This is why the Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم said,
الحَياءُ خَيْرٌ كُلُّهُ.
"Haya' is all of goodness." Or "Haya' is goodness itself."
Consider this incident from the seerah:
عن ابْنِ عُمَرَ رضي اللَّه عنهما: أَنَّ رسولَ اللَّه ﷺ مَرَّ عَلَى رَجُلٍ مِنَ الأَنْصَارِ وَهُوَ يَعِظُ أَخَاهُ في الحَيَاءِ، فَقَالَ رسُولُ اللَّه ﷺ: دَعْهُ، فإِنَّ الحياءَ مِنَ الإِيمانِ. [متفقٌ عَلَيْهِ.]
Ibn `Umar narrated that the Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم passed by a man from the Ansar who was berating his brother about [having excessive] haya', so the Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم said, "Leave him! For haya' is from iman."
Haya' is a trait of the heart that also manifests itself upon the limbs. It is a beautiful thing that stems from the heart and then naturally flows outward.
Haya' is one of the biggest characteristics of the Muslim. Any believing man or believing woman must necessarily have this indispensable trait of haya'.
It's sad how we sometimes lose sight of our priorities when we become acclimated to other people's customs and cultures. We start to let go of our own goodness in exchange for their evil.
And especially for myself and my fellow sisters, as my new Yemeni friend worded it, "A woman *is* haya'. Without haya'...what makes her a woman?"
"What was the biggest culture shock for you that you had to adjust to, moving to America? What's the biggest difference between life here and life in Yemen?" I asked her.
"Haya', (الحياء)" she answered simply. "It was a big shock for me when I first moved here. Here people have no haya', men or women. But I'm especially shocked at the women!"
