Beneficial 10 tips for the 10 best days & nights - Taken from a brother

"We are at the door of last 10 days and nights, yet they are the best from all. May Allah bless all of us with LailatulQadar

10 Tips to get the best out of the blessed last 10 Nights of Ramadan

1. No matter how good or bad your Ramadan went, enter the last 10 Days well prepared, with pure intentions, full energy and a positive outlook.

2. Listen to or read the Tafsir of Surah Al-Qadr to know about this amazing night, to switch that mode ON and to keep it remained ON for all the nights. It could fall on any of the last 10 nights.

3. Choose the most comfortable place for worship in your home or Masjid. Avoid leaning on pillows & cushions while reciting Qur’an or Adhkaar so as to keep your back straight.

4. Switch off your mobile phones, iPads and Laptops if possible.

5. If you’re alone, recite the Qur’an in a loud beautiful voice so that your ears & heart remain involved with the recitation and you don’t feel drowsy. Plus it has an amazingly calming effect trust me!

If you’re not alone then you can recite in a normal volume not to disturb others but can listen to a Qiraa-at in high volume using your earphone.

6. Elongate your Sujood and make loads and loads of Du’aas in it. Cry hard and ask ALLAH everything you wish for in Dunya and Aakhirah.

7. Raise your Du’aa – Remember it’s the night of decree and angels are precisely writing down whatever is gonna happen in your life for the next coming year, be specific in your Du’aas and ask for each and everything you need – Hajj, Job, Career, Spouse, Children, Health, Home, whatever. Don’t play small in your Du’aas as you’re asking the KING OF ALL KINGS!

8. Pray 2 Raka’ah Salatul Tawbah every single night and ask for forgiveness from ALLAH – Al-Ghaffar, Al-Ghafoor, Al-Tawwab and Al-’Afuww. Repent sincerely with full hope and firm resolve of not repeating those sins again.

9. Memorize and keep asking the Du’aa of Lailatul Qadr: Allaahumma innaka ‘afuwwun tuhibb al-‘afwa fa’affu ‘anni (O Allaah, You are forgiving and You love forgiveness, so forgive me).

10. Ask ALLAH to grant you Lailatul Qadr and accept from you whatever ‘ibaadaat you did by His tawfeeq.

- If you have found these tips useful, apply them and share with others too.

Please remember the whole Ummah in your Duas."

Daily Hadith

Abu Hurairah (May Allah be pleased with him) reported: The Messenger of Allah (PBUH) said, "When a Muslim, or a believer, washes his face (in the course of Wudu'), every sin which he committed with his eyes, will be washed away from his face with water, or with the last drop of water; when he washes his hands, every sin which is committed by his hands will be effaced from his hands with the water, or with the last drop of water; and when he washes his feet, every sin his feet committed will be washed away with the water, or with the last drop of water; until he finally emerges cleansed of all his sins.'' (Muslim)

Ibn Qayyim (rahimahullaah):

Narrated Abu Sa'id (Radi-Allahu 'anhu):
The Prophet (Sallallahu 'Alaihi Wa Sallam) said, "Amongst the people preceding your age, there was a man whom Allah had given a lot of money.
While he was in his death-bed, he called his sons and said, 'What type of father have I been to you?' They replied, 'You have been a good father.' He said, 'I have never done a single good deed; so when I die, burn me, crush my body, and scatter the resulting ashes on a windy day.' His sons did accordingly, but Allah gathered his particles and asked (him), 'What made you do so?' He replied, 'Fear of you.' So Allah bestowed His Mercy upon him (forgave him)."
Bukhari Vol. 4 : No. 684

[Muslim]

10 Things which men want women to have... ????

1. Her Obedience:

This is the most important point than all other 9 points put together. A family cannot live happily unless and until a woman does not obey her husband (in good), that’s why it is obligatory to obey your husband in Islaam.

2. Her Natural delicacy:

Women by birth are delicate and girlish. It is this nature which if she keeps alive in her makes her husband fall in love with her rather than adopting a feminist approach. Men don’t want muscular women who can lift a tree, rather they look for a woman who is delicate. Remember same powers don’t attract, it has to be different.

3. Her Exotic fragrance:

Women must always remember to keep themselves perfumed when they are home. They should seduce (but never initiate s*x) their husbands not only in bed, but during daytime as well, while talking to him, while serving food, by wearing revealing stuff at home (in nuclear family). There is no need for women to initiate an intimate act because men don’t like it, however after it is initiated by a man, she can begin to satisfy herself as well by doing which is appropriate.

4. Her Natural smilies:

She should not let the household work make her boring, rather she should enjoy it. She should always have a natural smile in her face when her husband looks at her, this makes him feel that I did something to make her happy and encourages him for more.

5. Her Girlish nature:

In the sense that she grabs his hand when she wants something.

She acts crying (no tears) to make him feel that ‘pay attention to my problem’, men like that. She possesses qualities of feminine and she preserves it like her beauty.

She beautifies herself, rather than always saying ‘I have work to do in Kitchen and cleaning’ paying no attention to her beauty.

She must complete all her household work during the daytime and when her husband will arrive at home, she spends time with him appropriately.

6. Her Soft skin:

Men like soft skin because they are used to leather like they have.

7. Her Cheerful welcome:

It is very important to learn and study how to welcome your husband because he is not any guest or a relative, he is your master.

You should not unlock a question box at him when he knocks the door. Rather let him rest and get fresh, after that when you feel its appropriate, you can unlock.

8. Her Awesome feedback:

Women must tell their husbands how they feel getting married to him always, or how they feel spending time with him.

They should never let their emotions draw them away from the reality and truth although they cannot help it. Women should understand that your husband is not like you, he is different in everything from you.

Allaah has appointed him to be your master and appointed you to be a reason of happiness and vice-versa. If you thank him and remain grateful to him for whatever he spends on you, it will create a love bond between you and him.

9. Her Shyness:

Men are flat upon shy women. They just cannot handle her shyness. Rather than what West is teaching us that ‘be wild’, ‘get h***y'; but a Muslim man loves shy women because he is shy as well by himself.

10. Tasty food:

Men just love tasty food (need not to be sugary). If you want to cheer up his mood, most of the normal times, your food will work except when there is some real issue. I call Allah to shower His mercy upon our families and make us obedient to Him and make us die upon Islam.

1 Unread Message

Have you ever wondered what is the role of a messenger?
Although we all say Peace Be Upon Him after reading, saying & hearing his beloved name in conversations, but do we know what his task was?
A messenger is someone who delivers a message from one to another.

Our Messenger (PBUH) delivered the message from Allah to us.

The question I ask...
Have we opened his message? Do we know what it contains?

We are too eager to read the whatsapp msgs as soon as our phones beep and respond within seconds, but do we get as excited to read the message of Muhammad (SAW)?
Are we as curious to know what message was sent to us from Allah, our Creator?

The AMAZING QU'RAN is our message....

Have we read it?
Do we understand it?
This important message is valid in our lives up until the end of time.
Do you know what it is all about?
It has solutions to everything that we face in life.
Have we responded to the message?

If not, the message is still waiting for you to open before YOU get deleted..................

SubhanAllah..He is always ready to forgive us.. BUT are we ready to REPENT?

The following Aaayah and Hadeeth is a reminder for us that He is At Tawwab. Because many of us sin, and later on we don't repent thinking Allah will never forgive us! Don't listen to shaytaan's whispers!

Say: “O ‘Ibadi (My slaves) who have transgressed against themselves (by committing evil deeds and sins)! Despair not of the Mercy of Allah, verily Allah forgives all sins. Truly, He is Oft-Forgiving, Most Merciful. [39:53]
Prophet Muhammad SalAllaho 'Alihi Wasallam said:
“Every son of Adam sins, and the best of those who sin are those who repent.”

Narrated by al-Tirmidhi, 2499; classed as hasan by al-Albaani.

You Haven't Prayed In 40 Years.

In regards to Knowledge, Imaam al-Bukhaaree رحمه الله said the golden words:

Chapter: Knowledge precedes sayings and actions.

And here are a few narrations to highlight the importance of Knowledge:

Narrated Zaid bin Wahb: Hudhaifah رضي الله عنه saw a person who was not performing the bowing and prostration perfectly. He said to him: “You have not prayed and if you should die you would die on a religion other than that of Muhammad صلى الله عليه وسلم.” [Saheeh al-Bukhaaree (791)]

Zayd bin Wahb reports: We were once sitting in the Masjid with Hudhaifah (ibn Al-Yaman) رضي الله عنه when a man entered from the gates of Kindah and stood to pray; but he did not complete the bowing or prostration postures. When he had finished praying, Hudhaifah asked him: “How long have you been praying in this manner?” The man replied: “For forty years.” Hudhaifah said: “You have not prayed for forty years! And if you were to die praying in this manner you would die upon a way (fitrah) other than the way of Muhammad صلى الله عليه وسلم.” [Saheeh Ibn Hibbaan (1894)]

The time will come when you will answer to Him; questions you never once imagined to be asked. You’ll be asked of your injustice, your lies, your mockery, your arrogance, your pride. The time will come . . .

May our sincere taubah be accepted. Amin!

Why is it that we supplicate and receive no response?

"It was said to Ibrahim ibn Adham: Why is it that we supplicate and receive no response? He said:
"Because you know Allāh but you do not obey Him,
and you know the Messenger but you do not follow his Sunnah,
and you know the Qur'ān but you do not act in accordance with it, and you eat from the blessings of Allāh but you do not give thanks for them,
and you know Paradise but you do not seek it,
and you know Hellfire but you do not flee from it,
and you know Shaytān but you do not fight him rather you agree with him,
and you know death but you do not prepare for it,
and you have buried the dead but you do not learn a lesson from that,
and you ignore your own faults and are preoccupied with other people's faults.""
