A few steps away from the finish line.

Alhamdulillah.

Don’t slip back to where you were before Ramadan.

Allah gives us seasons in which we can rise. It has been reported from the Prophet ﷺ:

إنَّ للهِ في أيَّامِ دهركم نفحاتٍ فتعرضوا لها
“Indeed, Allah has moments of special mercy in the days of your lives, so expose yourselves to them.”

But he also said:
أحبُّ الأعمالِ إلى اللهِ أدومُها وإن قلَّ
“The most beloved deeds to Allah are those that are consistent, even if they are small.”

If we return to our old selves right after Ramadan, then what did Ramadan really do to us? Think of these seasons not as spikes on a horizontal line, but as rises on an upward curve. Yes, in other months, you may do less than you did in Ramadan, and that is natural. But your heart should be in a better place than it was before.

A little less heedlessness.
A little less showing off.
A little less hardness.
A little more gratitude.
A little more humility.
A little more sincerity.
A little more patience.
A prayer you now guard more carefully.
A prayer in the masjid you try harder to catch.
A heart that is more present in salah.
A portion of Qur’an you refuse to leave.
A few more adhkar you keep.
A few more moments of istighfar.
A charity you now give more regularly.
An eye you lower more quickly.
A tongue you restrain more carefully.
An argument you now walk away from.
A grudge you finally let go of.
A sinful account you unfollow.
A private sin you begin to fight.
A door of temptation you finally close.
A habit of wasting time you finally begin to break.
A parent you now speak to more gently.
A spouse you now treat with more ihsan.
A relative you finally reach back out to.
A secret act of worship you keep between you and Allah.
A softness in the heart you try to protect.

You may not keep Ramadan’s pace. But don’t lose Ramadan’s impact.

*🌟True Honor Belongs to Allah*

In Surah Fatir (35:10), Allah reminds us that all honor and dignity belong to Him alone. If we seek status, respect, or recognition, the best way to attain it is through obedience to Him.

True honor is not found in wealth, fame, or worldly status, but in faith, good speech, and righteous actions. While our words may be spoken with sincerity, it is our deeds that give them weight and meaning.

Ramadan is a time to purify our words and perfect our actions. Speak good, do good, and seek honor from the One who grants it eternally.

Use this blessed month to increase in acts of worship, charity, and kindness. Strive to make every action a reflection of your faith and devotion to Allah.

Barika Jumah, Ramadan Mubarak and Wonderful Weekend

19/02/2026

When Ramadan and Lent begin on the same day, heaven is whispering something powerful to the earth. 🌙✝️

Different faiths…
Different prayers…
But the same hunger for God.🙌👌🥰

It is a sacred reminder that beyond our names, beyond our doctrines, beyond our differences — we are all souls seeking mercy, seeking cleansing, seeking light.

Fasting is not just about food.
It is about emptying pride.
It is about silencing noise.
It is about returning to the One who gives us breath.

This season says:
👉 Slow down
👉Forgive
👉Pray deeper
👉Love louder
👉 Purify your heart

When two great spiritual journeys begin together, it feels like the world is being called to reflection at the same time.

May this season soften hardened hearts.
May it heal silent battles.
May it renew weary spirits.
May it draw us closer to God in ways words cannot explain.

Some moments are not coincidence… they are divine reminders.

*COPIED*

```Beware of the Thieves of Ramadhan```

*The First Thief:*

🔸 `The Television:` a dangerous thief which corrupts the fast of a person and reduces the reward due to worthless series and programs and shameless shows.

*The Second Thief:*

🔹 `The Market:` a thief which specializes in spending money and time uselessly without reckoning. In order to overcome it, define your goal (for shopping) [i.e., make a list] before going.

*The Third Thief:*

🔸 `Staying up late for entertainment:` it steals the most valuable time and prevents you from Tahajjud and seeking forgiveness in the last third of the night.

*The Fourth Thief:*

🔹 `The Kitchen:` Specially for the women who spend long hours preparing many dishes that are almost indistinct from one another except the moment that they are eaten and much of it is thrown into the garbage.

*The Fifth Thief:*

🔸 `The Telephone:` long conversations and what results from them of sins: backbiting and slander, he say/she say and spreading secrets.

*The Sixth Thief:*

🔹 `Miserliness:` which will prevent you from the rewards and remuneration of charity that protects from the Fire, especially the charity in the month of Ramadhan.

*The Seventh Thief:*

🔸 `Gatherings:` which are void of the remembrance of Allah and which will be a cause for sorrow for their companions on the Day of Judgement.

*The Final One, the Ring Leader of Thieves:*

🔹 `Social Media which is not utilized in what pleases Allah.`

So hurry, quick and have lofty ambitions. It is nothing but a limited number of days , that which many were compassionate about and were hopeful to be made joyful by it, but destiny carried them away, may Allah the Most High have mercy on them.

May Allah grant us success to reap the fruits of this noble month and spend it in doing what our Lord loves and is pleased with. And may He grant me and you success with everything He loves and is pleased with. Aameen!

Ramaḍān Fatwa #569 | The Tarawih Prayer is Sunnat Muľkkadah (compulsory) | Permanent Committee for Research and Verdicts

Q: Is the Tarawih prayer only Sunnah (i.e., supererogatory) or is it Sunnat Mu'kkadah (compulsory), and how do we perform it?

A: It is Sunnat Mu'kkadah (compulsory) that the Prophet encouraged with his saying: "Whoever stands for prayer (at night) during Ramadhan with faith and seeking reward, he will be forgiven for his previous sins." [Al-Bukhari no.2009]

It is confirmed that he prayed it with his Companions for a number of nights. Then he feared that it would be made obligatory upon them and he encouraged them to pray it by themselves. Thus, a man would pray it alone, and two men would pray it together and three would pray it in a group. Then 'Umar decided to gather them behind one man due to what that contained of bringing the people together for prayer and hearing the Qur'an. Thus, the Muslims continued upon this practice until today. During that time it was prayed as 23 Rak'ahs and they would lengthen the recitation (of the Qur'an) such that they would recite Surat Al-Baqarah in 12 Rak'ahs, and sometimes in 8 Rak'ahs. Since the Prophet did not set any restriction of a specific number on it, the matter concerning it (the number of Rak'ahs) is easy. If the person wishes he may lessen the number of Rak'ahs and lengthen the pillars (i.e., positions of the prayer), and if he wishes he may increase the number of Rak'ahs.

Daily Hadith

Asslamu Alaikum Warahmatullah Wabarakatuh,

On the authority of Abu Dharr al-Ghifaree (may Allah be pleased with him) from the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) from his Lord, that He said:
O My servants! I have forbidden dhulm (oppression) for Myself, and I have made it forbidden amongst you, so do not oppress one another. O My servants, all of you are astray except those whom I have guided, so seek guidance from Me and I shall guide you. O My servants, all of you are hungry except those whom I have fed, so seek food from Me and I shall feed you. O My servants, all of you are naked except those whom I have clothed, so seek clothing from Me and I shall clothe you. O My servants, you commit sins by day and by night, and I forgive all sins, so seek forgiveness from Me and I shall forgive you. O My servants, you will not attain harming Me so as to harm Me, and you will not attain benefiting Me so as to benefit Me. O My servants, if the first of you and the last of you, and the humans of you and the jinn of you, were all as pious as the most pious heart of any individual amongst you, then this would not increase My Kingdom an iota. O My servants, if the first of you and the last of you, and the humans of you and the jinn of you, were all as wicked as the most wicked heart of any individual amongst you, then this would not decrease My Kingdom an iota. O My servants, if the first of you and the last of you, and the humans of you and the jinn of you, were all to stand together in one place and ask of Me, and I were to give everyone what he requested, then that would not decrease what I Possess, except what is decreased of the ocean when a needle is dipped into it. O My servants, it is but your deeds that I account for you, and then recompense you for. So he who finds good, let him praise Allah, and he who finds other than that, let him blame no one but himself. [Muslim]

*VALUE YOUR RELATIONSHIPS*

*On this blessed day of Jum‘ah, let us remind ourselves of the wisdom in valuing human relationships. In life, no one truly succeeds alone. Allah (SWT) has placed people in our paths as means of support, guidance, and connection. At every stage of our journey, it is often through another person that Allah opens a door or mentions our names in the right gathering, or guides us to opportunities we could never reach by ourselves.*

*Never underestimate anyone. The person you meet today may become the lifeline you need tomorrow. Every relationship is like a door, while you walk through some often, others may remain closed for years but, it is wise to keep the key to every door safe and accessible.*

*Even when differences arise in your relationship, don't decide to leave a true relationship for few faults. Whatever you do, always pray for the ability to see your own shortcomings and never lose sight of that. Never get so carried away to be pointing fingers when you too have abscesses that needs tending*.

*Whenever it becomes inevitable to close the doors of relationship, endeavor to do so with gentleness and not with fire. Do not burn bridges of relationship out of anger or pride. Always remember that, nobody is perfect and in the end, affection is always greater than perfection.*

*Know that life is unpredictable, and the very one you turn away today may be the one Allah will use to lift your ladder tomorrow.*

*Maintain goodness in your relationships because, our beloved Prophet (SAW) said:*

-The most beloved of people to Allah are those who are most beneficial to others_.

*So, respect people, nurture relationships, and protect the trust Allah has placed between your hearts because, each person you encounter in your life journey, is a potential key to your success and a test of your character.*

*As we attend to our Jum'at service today, may Allah beautify our relationships, mend those that are broken Aamin

Remember, that millions of people are following a path doesn't make it the right path, if you are lucky to get someone to tell you that it's the wrong path, move back and follow the right path, don't listen to people that will call you odd, old fashion. The only one you should strive to satisfy is your Creator who you will render your account of deeds to on the day no one can praise or condemn you except the Almighty One.

06/02/2026

Foolish is the one who chases fame. It's greed for attention. It won’t last. If addicted to it, you feel you’re always on display, you have to act differently to different people and can't be 'real'. You crave publicity and want your experiences to be recognized by all. Why not just act normal, impact lives silently, create a legacy that speaks for you generation after generation and leave the rest for Almighty to publicise you Himself. When your Creator decides to give you fame, it'll last longer than the one you created yourself. Think twice and pick one. *
