Ramadan Reflections: Day 18

Bismillah... In the Name of Allah, the Most Merciful

Yesterday in Egypt lot of innocent people have been murdered by criminals of Sisi's "government". Yesterday was also the anniversary of battle of Badr, the first battle between truth and falsehood. So many Muslims around the world are suffering , subhanallah. Every single day, watching the TV channels, remind us what atrocities are talking place around the world. Yesterday I tuned into Ramadan TV to watch the Penny Appeal for Syria. One sister called to donate money and couldn't stop crying. I was thinking how hard my heart must be that while hearing about the sufferings of our brothers and sisters in Syria, Egypt, Palestine, Iraq, Bangladesh, Burma and so many other countries, no tears are shed. May Allah subhana wa ta'ala have mercy on me and enable me to relate to my brothers and sisters around the world, ameen!

Without a doubt, there are plenty of people who are crying and making sincere dua every single day of the year mashAllah. In our faith, Muslim ummah is seen as one body. If one limb hurts, the whole body feels the pain. Brotherhood is very important for us. That's why watching people in hardship in Egypt makes us sad and angry. We make dua that Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala bless the victims of yesterday with jannatul ferdous, the highest Garden and give strength and patience to their loved ones, ameen! 

Commenting on yesterday's event, Sheikh Abu Eesa has said it brilliantly on his FB page " Our dead are in jannah, in sha Allah. The martyrs of Egypt and Syria have only moved on and upwards. 

Yet your *living* ones O Tamarod supporters, O Sisi, O Assad, are burning inside mentally. You have destroyed yourselves. Your lives will remain tortured forever with this blood on your hands. Your stupidity and brazenness makes me laugh, not cry. AND the Fire awaits you. Well done."

As you know today is 18th of ramadan alhamdulillah. Only two days to go till the last 10 days of Ramadan inshallah.  Let us remember our Muslim brothers and sisters around the world frequently in our duas. 

O Allah, we ask you to restrain them by their necks and we seek refuge in You from their evil. ( Abu Dawud) 

Allah is sufficient for us and the best of those on whom to depend. (At-Tirmidhi)

 O Allah forgive all the believers, men and women and all Muslims, men and women. Unite their hearts in mutual love, and set aright their mutual affairs and help them against Your and their enemies. O Allah curse the unbelievers among the people of the book who belie the Prophets and who fight Your chosen ones. O Allah divide them, and make their feet tremble and send down upon them Your punishment, which You do not turn away from the people of sin. (Musannaf 'Abd al-Razzaq)

Bismillah With the Name of Allah , the Most Merciful I have typed some of my tajweed notes on makharij for the purpose of  revision inshAllah.  Alhamdulillah our beautiful teacher has started doing videos on tajweed. I have shared some of the videos here with relevant notes. Hope this helps us all inshaAllah. Image source   Makharij means articulation point i.e the place where the letters exit from. Letters are called huruf in arabic. Harf is the singular form of the word huruf. There are five different exit points (makharij).  1.       Al-Jawf ( The empty space in the throat and mouth/ the oral cavity) 2.       Ash-Shafatayn  ( The lips) 3.       Al-Halq (The throat) 4.       Al-Khayshum (The nasal passage) 5.       Al-Lisaan ( The tongue)   Al-Jawf ( The oral cavity)  From the   jawf ( empty space in the mouth and throat)  three letters emerge. These madd ( lengthening the sound) letters are: Alif  ( ا ) preceded by a  fat h a ,

Five years Alhamdulillah :-)

Alhamdulillah five years ago, on this day I got married to my husband. It took me quite a long time to find him :-) I used to tell my friend at university and at work, that I may never get married and live for the rest of my life with 99 cats! I don't know where I got this idea from but I was indeed quite worried about my future. I have always been a big fan of children. For me the biggest fear was the prospect of being childless forever! I have seen quite a lot of brothers through family and friends. The more I was going through these meetings, I was getting frustrated thinking this is not really working for me and love is just a myth! Alhamdulillah going to hajj in 2006 has made me help put things into perspective. I started to think more seriously about the purpose of my life. I even wrote in my diary that marriage is not an ultimate goal for me anymore. Before that time, I used to think only through marriage I can become a better Muslimah as if no other option is left for me to

A precious bond

I am surrounded by special sisters. They are always there for me. During my hardship, they help me with their kind words and beautiful dua. I know I can rely on them. I know that they keep me in their precious dua. They are my soul sisters. And the special love they have for me is priceless. I can't buy this love. A love so pure and precious subhanallah! The source of this love is my Rabb. It is Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala who enables us to love each other so sincerely for His sake ! I can't thank my Rabb enough for surrounding me with such kind and gentle souls alhamdulillah. Without my beautiful soul sisters, my life would be so difficult to live. My soul sisters teach me to always be loving and caring to others. They encourage me to be positive and resilient, no matter how difficult the life may seem . They have taught me not to underestimate the power of any good deeds, it can be a kind word, a sincere dua, sending a bouquet of beautiful flowers or homemade cakes and the
