"O you who, after committing sin in Rajab, Have disobeyed your Lord in the month of Sha'ban,
The month of fasting now envelopes you after them, So do not turn it into a month of disobedience again.
Recite the Qur'an and glorify Allah in it and strive hard,
For it is the month of glorification of Allah and the Qur'an.
How many you knew among those who fasted in the past, From among family, neighbors, and brothers.
Death has taken them, but left you behind alive,
So how close the distant one is to the one near!"

- Majalis Shahr Ramadan

"ان ربي قريب مجيب"

خزائن الله تغني كلَّ مفتقرٍ ... وفي يد الله للسؤال ما سألوا
The treasures of Allah enrich every needy.. And in the hand of Allah, there is what they have asked for.

وسائل الله ما زالت مسائله ... مقبولة ما لها رد ولا ملل
The ways of Allah are always accepted... They have no rejection, nor do they tire.

فافزع إلى الله واقرع باب رحمته ... فهو الرجاء لمن أعيت به السبل
So turn to Allah and knock on the door of His mercy... For He is the hope of those whose paths are blocked.

وأحسن الظن في مولاك وارض بما ... أولاك يخل عنك البؤس والوجل
And have good thoughts about your Lord and be content with what He has given you... He will relieve you of misery and distress.

وإن أصابك عسر فانتظر فرجا ... فالعسر باليسر مقرون ومتصل
And if hardship strikes you, wait for relief... For hardship is always followed and connected to ease.

وانظر إلى قوله: ادعوني استجب لكُمُ ... فذاك قول صحيح ماله بدل
And look at His saying: "Call upon Me, I will respond to you"... This is a true statement with no substitute.

كم أنقذ الله مضطراً برحمته ... وكم أنال ذوي الآمال ما أملوا
How many has Allah saved out of distress with His mercy... And how many has He granted their hopes to those who have aspired.

- لامية ابن عمر الضمدي في الإستسقاء ما رأيكم بها

أن للصائم فرحتين : فَرحَةً عند فِطْرِهِ، وفرن عند لِقاءِ رَبَّه . أَمَّا فَرَحُهُ عند فَطْرِهِ فَيَفْرَحُ بِمَا أنعم الله عليهِ مِنَ القيار بعبادة الصيام الذي هو من أفضل الأعمال الصالحة، وكم أناس حُرِمُوْهُ فلم يَصُوموا . ويَفْرَحُ بِما أَباحَ الله له مِنَ الطَّعَامِ وَالشَّرَارِ والنِّكَاحِ الَّذِي كان مُحَرَّماً عليه حال الصوم.

The fasting person has two moments of joy: one when he breaks his fast, and the other when he meets his Lord. As for his joy when he breaks his fast, he rejoices in the blessings Allah has bestowed upon him through the act of fasting, which is one of the best righteous deeds. How many people have been deprived of it and did not fast. He also rejoices in what Allah has permitted for him, such as food, drink, and marriage, which were prohibited to him during the fast.

وأَمَّا فَرَحهُ عِنْدَ لِقَاءِ ربِّه فَيَفْرَحُ بِصَوْمِهِ حين يَجِدُ جَزاءه عند الله تعالى مُوفَّراً كاملاً في وقت هو أحوج ما يكون إِلَيْهِ حِينَ يُقالُ : «أين الصائمون ليدخلوا الجنة من باب الرَّيَّانِ الَّذِي لاَ يَدْخله أحد غيرهم.»
As for his joy when he meets his Lord, he rejoices in his fasting when he finds his reward from Allah, the Most High, fully provided at a time when he is most in need of it, when it is said: "Where are the fasting ones so they may enter Paradise through the gate of Ar-Rayan, through which none but they will enter."

- Majalis Shahr Ramadan

Roll up your sleeves...

For your guest is in haste. Read your Qur'an, make up for your shortcomings.

﴿ أَيّامًا مَعدوداتٍ ﴾

" A few numbered days "

ولما ذكر أنه فرض عليهم الصيام؛ أخبر أنه
أيام معدودات أي قليلة في غاية السهولة

"And when it was mentioned that fasting was prescribed for them, it was stated that it is a few numbered days, meaning they are few and very easy."

تفسير السعدي

Men are responsible for women and maintain them for two reasons:

(1) the characteristics of masculinity, its physical attributes, and more experience,

(2) the financial responsibility of supporting the whole family and paying the dowry/Mehr.

Righteous women are obedient to Allah and their husbands, guarding the dignity of their husbands in themselves, their children, and their husband’s wealth without extravagance, all by Allah’s protection and assistance, and by His command to protect.

Husbands should fulfill their wives’ rights with justice and kindness.

As for those whom you fear disobedience from—meaning the defiance of the husband's orders, withholding themselves without excuse, and leaving the house without his permission—remind them of what Allah has commanded of them regarding obedience and good companionship. Encourage them with the reward of Allah and warn them of His punishment in the hereafter.

If they do not heed the advice, then separate from them in bed, by sleeping in a separate place, and if they still do not reform, then lightly strike them for discipline and correction.

If they obey you in any of these matters, do not transgress against them with words or actions, as oppression is forbidden. ( لان الظلم حرام )

Do not demand love from them, as it is not something they can control, nor is it within their choice.

Verily, Allah is All-Powerful, Most Great. This was revealed when a woman came to the Prophet, peace be upon him, seeking justice against her husband who had struck her.

The Prophet ordered retribution, but Allah revealed: 'Men are the protectors and maintainers of women...'. She returned without further action."

- ( tafsir al wajeez : 4:34)

‏" لَمَّا كثرت أسباب المغفرة فِيْ رمضان، كان الذي تفوته فِيْهِ المغفرة محروما غاية الحرمان "

"When the reasons for forgiveness are abundant in Ramadan, the one who misses out on forgiveness during it is deprived to the utmost degree of deprivation."

- لطائف المعارف لـ ابن رجب

"When you gaze upon the sky, supplicating, Hoping your Lord will fulfill your wishes,

You’ll see what you didn't anticipate through your prayers, Though you believed that sorrow had dimmed your light.

Do not lose hope in life and its trials, Indeed, the Merciful above will not forsake you.

And if you could perceive the concealed blessings,
You would understand that the best lies in His choices for you..."

Fifty Proven Supplications from Our Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم.

وَسَارِعُوا إِلَىٰ مَغْفِرَةٍ مِّن رَّبِّكُمْ وَجَنَّةٍ عَرْضُهَا السَّمَاوَاتُ وَالْأَرْضُ أُعِدَّتْ لِلْمُتَّقِينَ

And hasten to forgiveness from your Lord and a garden as wide as the heavens and earth, prepared for the righteous.

[ آل عمران: 133]

من التوفيق أن يكون حظنا من القرآن في رمضان أكثر مما كنا عليه أيّام العام، إنه شهر القرآن وأوان الربح العظيم مع الله! ‏

"It is from guidance to have more of the Quran ( portion for recitation, memorization, understanding) during Ramadan than we had during the rest of the year. It is the month of the Quran and the time for great rewards with Allah!"

فيا فوزَ المرابطين !
So, congratulations to those who strive in devotion!
‌
‏طُوبـى لمـن نظَر الإله لقلبهِ
ونداوةُ القُرآن في النَّبضاتِ
"Blessed is the one whom Allah gazes upon with their heart,
And the freshness of the Quran is in their heartbeats."

"And they who give what they give while their hearts are fearful because they will be returning to their Lord -

It is those who hasten to good deeds, and they outstrip [others] therein.

And We charge no soul except [with that within] its capacity, and with Us is a record which speaks with truth; and they will not be wronged."

( Surah Muminoon)

"and call upon Him with fear and hope"

that is fear of His punishment and hope of His reward, hoping that one's deeds will be accepted and fearing that they will be rejected, not offering supplication in the manner of one who thinks that he is entitled to at response from his Lord, filled with self-admiration and raising himself above his station, or in the manner of one who is heedless and not focusing.

The etiquette of supplication as mentioned in this verse is that one should be sincere in calling upon Allah alone, which is indicated by offering supplication in private, concealing and hiding it. There should be both fear and hope, with no heedlessness, complacency or not caring about the response. This is part of offering supplication in the proper manner, because doing every act of worship properly means striving one's best and doing it in a perfect manner with no shortcomings in any way.

- imam sa'di رحمه الله

أَمَّن يُجِيبُ الْمُضْطَرَّ إِذَا دَعَاهُ وَيَكْشِفُ السُّوءَ وَيَجْعَلُكُمْ خُلَفَاءَ الْأَرْضِ ۗ أَإِلَٰهٌ مَّعَ اللَّهِ ۚ قَلِيلًا مَّا تَذَكَّرُونَ

Is He [not best] who responds to the desperate one when he calls upon Him and removes evil and makes you inheritors of the earth? Is there a deity with Allah? Little do you remember.

يا رب😭😭😭❤️

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 -

لله في كلّ ليلة عتقاء من النار، فاجعل في قلبك طمعًا أن تكون منهم !

"Every night, Allah has those who are freed from the Fire, so make sure there is hope in your heart to be amongst them!"
