Time is of the essence. Every moment counts. Whatever you need to do for the next ten days to make the most in Ibada, good deeds, reciting Quran, dhikr, making dua, etc., rewards are going to be multiplied. No one knew about the importance of these days more than the Prophet (saws). Al-Bukhari and Muslim narrated from ‘Aishah (may Allah be pleased with her) that when the last ten days of Ramadan began, the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) would stay up at night, wake his family and tie his lower garment tight. According to Ahmad and Muslim: he would strive hard in worship during the last ten nights of Ramadan as he did not do at other times.

Let’s pack in as much worship as we can Insha’Allah .

Your time starts now!

Jazakallah sister Afreen for sharing this.

We have our suicide bombers — we call them heroes. We have our culture of indoctrination — we call it basic training. We kill civilians — we call it collateral damage.

Is this, then, the moral relativism that so outrages conservatives? Of course not. I’ve been drawing these comparisons not to excuse the actions of suicide bombers, but to point out the hypocrisy of our black-and-white depictions of our noble efforts and their barbarous acts, of our worthy goals and their despicable ends. We — the inhabitants of an archipelago of supposedly enlightened warfare — have been indoctrinated to view the atomic bombing of Hiroshima as a legitimate military target and September 11th as a heinous crime against humanity. We have been trained to see acts like the attack in Tripoli as American heroism and the U.S.S. Cole attack as rank barbarism. Explosive vests are a sign of extremism; Predator missiles, of advanced sensibility.

It’s a slightly long read, but well worth the time.

Seriously speaking, note the age range in the study. It’s 13 – 17 year old girls getting affected here. Well below the legal age of consent in most Western Countries.

It is a frightening thing, the concept of leaving the religion which had sustained and supported you all of your life, once you find the truth. It is even more frightening to do so when you are deployed. Constantly holding me back from the Shahada were thoughts such as “What will my wife think? What will my children think? What about my friends at church, who love me, and I love them? “

Don’t you just love revert stories? It increases your faith and provides wonderful insight in to how Allah guides people.

Who knows? We might not live to see the next Ramadan, or even this. I don’t want to sound gloomy.. after all its Ramadan and we are in anticipation. But this month is more than just eating good food, or iftar get-togethers, or what dress to buy for Eid and when to buy it. Its about cultivating Taqwa. We know that Allah watches us, therefore we don’t eat when fasting. Why don’t we have the same attitude at the other times when we commit sins? Is Allah not watching us then? Are his appointed angels not recording our deeds?

Make the most of this month. Set a disciplined plan of action.

- I will read X number of pages/ayaat/Ruku’ from the Qur’aan every day
- I will give X amount in charity each day
- I will share my meal with at least 1 person each day
- I will pray Qayam ul layl (or Taraweeh) regularly this month
- I will plan ahead and spend a few, if not all 10, days in i’tikaf this month
- I will spend X amount of time immersing myself in Dhikr each day
- I will control my emotions and be respectful of the elderly and kind to the young

Insha’Allah !

I wish everyone a wonderful, fruitful and Eeman-filled Ramadan.
