أيها الصائمون
O those who are fasting

إن للصائم دعوة لا ترد حتى يفطر؛
the fasting person has an invitation that will not be rejected until he breaks his fast

فادعوا ربكم بكل ما تحبون من خير الدنيا والآخرة
so pray to your Lord for all the goodness of this world and the hereafter..

Three hours every day in Ramadān that you should not waste - no matter the price!

- The hour just before Iftār: free up that time exclusively for Dua', for indeed the fasting person at the time of breaking has Dua' that will not be rejected.

- The last hour of the night, make it seclusion with yourself and Allah.

- The hour after Fajr Salah, this is when you sit down after Fajr in your place of prayer until sunrise (engage in Qur'ān/Dhikr/Dua').

وصف ابن الجوزي شهر رمضان فقال:
"ما من دعاءٍ إلا مسموع، ولا عمل إلا مرفوع، ولا خيرٍ إلا مجموع، ولا ضررٍ إلا مدفوع"

‏- اللهُمَّ قبول وإجابة وخير-

Ibn al-Jawzi described the month of Ramadan and said:
“There is no supplication that is not heard, there is no action that is not raised, there is no good but is gathered, and there is no harm that is not taken away.”


- Oh God, accept, answer and grant us goodness -

In his epic book of history, al-hafidh ibn Kathir mentions the death of his teacher ibn Taymiyah. He shares that he died during the last part of the night and that the muezzin of the fortress where he was imprisoned announced his death. Business did not open that morning and people gathered around the fortress and his close relatives and friends were let in to see the body. Ibn Kathir then shared the following news from ibn Taymiyah's brother who had been in prison with him:

[وَأَخْبَرَ الْحَاضِرِينَ أَخُوهُ زَيْنُ الدِّينِ عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ أنه قرأ هو والشيخ منذ دخل الْقَلْعَةَ ثَمَانِينَ خَتْمَةً وَشَرَعَا فِي الْحَادِيَةِ وَالثَّمَانِينَ، فانتهينا فيها إلى آخر اقْتَرَبَتِ السَّاعَةُ ٥٤: ١ إِنَّ الْمُتَّقِينَ في جَنَّاتٍ وَنَهَرٍ في مَقْعَدِ صِدْقٍ عِنْدَ مَلِيكٍ مُقْتَدِرٍ ٥٤: ٥٤- ٥٥ ]

His brother Zayn al-Deen 'Abd al-Rahman told those present that since he and sheikh ibn Taymiyah had been imprisoned they had completed 80 complete readings of the Qur'an and has started on their 81st reading and had reached to the end of surah al-Qamar [54]:

[إِنَّ الْمُتَّقِينَ فِي جَنَّاتٍ وَنَهَرٍ *‏ فِي مَقْعَدِ صِدْقٍ عِندَ مَلِيكٍ مُّقْتَدِرٍ]

"The righteous ones will be among gardens and rivers * In a seat of honor near an Almighty King." [54-55]

دواء القلب:

قال أحد العابدين: دواء القلب خمسة أشياء:

- قراءة القرآن بالتدبر.
- وخلو البطن (بالصيام).
- وقيام الليل.
- والتضرع (دعاء مع ذل وانكسار) عند السَحَر (قبل الفجر).
- ومجالسة الصالحين.

‏"من لم يربح في هذا الشهر ففي أيِّ وقتٍ يربح؟!"

Once the time has begun and he is certain of it, it becomes permissible for him to pray even if he has not heard the adhan.

[Shaykh ‘Abd al-‘Aziz ibn Baz (rahimahullah), Fatawa Nur ‘ala ad-Darb, 2/720]

In one of his classes, Sheikh Muhammad ibn Salih al-'Uthaymeen (rahimahullah) said:

Performing the prayer outside of its earliest time ought to only be done for a reason.

Otherwise, the base rule is that earlier is better, for that involves hastening towards good and freeing yourself from any blame.

[Sharh Buloogh al-Maraam, 4/266]

صَل ركعتين أو زِد..
Pray two rakat or more..

وإن تعبت ‏امسك مُصحفك ..
And if you get tired , then hold onto your Mus'haf..

وإن تعبت‏ رَدّد أذكارك ..
And if you get tired, Repeat your Adhkar( Rememberance of Allah) ...

Sheikh Abdussalam al-Shuway'ir حفظه الله said:

Supplicate to Allah for every need and regarding every worry, even if it's something small. It is the strongest matter in what strengthens your attachment to Allah and increases your iman.

Speaker: Sheikh Maher Al-Mu'aiqly

مرور بعض الأموات غير الخاصين في ذهنك أثناء الدعاء لم يكن صدفة، بل هو التوفيق من الله لهم إزاء خبيئة أو عمل صالح، فأيقظ فيك ذكرهم في مواطن الإجابة، وألهج لهم لسانك.

يفقد كثيرٌ من الناس بركة القرآن وأثره في نفُوسهم خاصّة في رمضان؛ لأنهم شُغلوا عن تدبّر كلام البارئ، بتأمّل صوت القارِئ!

Many people lose out on the blessing of the Qur'an and its impact on their souls, especially in Ramadan, because they have been busied away from contemplating the words of al-Bari (Allah), by contemplating on the voice of the reciter!
