Ramadan Reflections : Day 19

-
In the Name of Allah.. The Most Merciful

Ramadan for me is a month of dua, month of asking Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala. Today I want to share with you some favourite duas of mine. Please never underestimate the power of dua. Dua is the essence of worship. This month is all about worshiping our Lord. So making plenty of dua is a great way to worship Allah Subahanahu  Wa Ta'ala. 

"My prayers and my devotions, my life and my death are all for Allah, Lord of the Universe. He has no peer. Allah's guidance is the only guidance. We are commanded to submit to the Lord of the Universe, to pray and to fear Him. Before Him shall you be gathered all. " [Qur'an Al-an'am:6 ] 

"My Rabb! Grant me the power and ability that I may be grateful for Your Favour which You have bestowed upon me and my parents and that I may do righteous good deeds such as please You and make my offspring good. Truly I have turned to You in repentance and truly I am one of the Muslims. " [Qur'an Al-Ahqah:15] 

"My lord, make me one who establishes prayer and of my offspring. Our Lord, accept my prayer. Our Lord, forgive me and my parents and the believers on the Day reckoning is made." [Qur'an 14:40-41] 

"Our Lord! Give us good in this world and good in the Hereafter and protect us from the torment of the Fire!" [ Qur'an 2:201] 

"O Allah, I seek Your forgiveness and wellbeing in my religion, my worldly life, my family and my wealth." [Mustadrak] 


"O Allah, help me in You remembrance, Your thanks and in perfecting Your prescribed worship." [Tirmidhi] 

"O Allah ! Give me love of you, love of the people who love You and love of every action which draws me nearer to Your love." [Tirmidhi] 

"O Allah, I ask You beneficial knowledge and goodly sustenance and accepted acts of worship." [Ibn Maja] 

" O Allah, I ask of You guidance, piety, chastity and independence [from Your creation] " (Muslim). 

"O Allah, Turner of hearts, turn our hearts toward Your obedience (Muslim). "

"O Controller of the hearts, make my heart firm in Your Religion (Tirmidhi, Mustadrak). "

"O Allah, I seek Your protection from inability, laziness, cowardice, decrepitude and miserliness and I seek Your protection from the punishment of the grave and I seek Your protection from the mischief of life and death "(Bukhari).

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   ja...

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 ...

Are we wearing our hijab properly?

Nowadays, we are witnessing a very disturbing trend in hijab style. Sisters are wearing hijab (?) but not really fulfilling the basic requirements of hijab. Thanks to most of the young hijabi sisters, it has become a norm to wear lots of make up, wearing very eye catchy and tight-fitting and see-through clothes. May be only one thing hasn’t changed that much and that is not to show the hair as if hijab is only to cover our hair and everything else can be on display! I feel very sad seeing the state of our hijab. What's the point of wearing hijab then?  Where are we heading? I am not just witnessing this new trend in the West but almost every other parts of the world thanks to global media and culture. I wanted to write about this issue for a long time but felt it can be quite a sensitive issue to deal with. Seeing my own family and friends getting sucked into this silly trend made me feel determined to write about it. Allah (swt) knows my intention. This post is first and foremo...
