'If a Muslim asks Allah SWT with the supplicatiion of prophet Yunus (Jonah), he will be responded to' (Ahmad)

The supplication of Prophet Yunus (Peace be upon him) is such a powerful supplication, a most effective means for obtaining answer to prayer. He was cast into the sea and swallowed by a large fish. The sea was stormy, the night dark and scary, and all hope exhausted. But it was while he was in such a situation that Allah SWT answered his supplication; he made dua in a place where no one has ever made dua....in the belly of the fish:

  

(There is no god other than You, Glory be unto You! Indeed, I was among the wrongdoers)

Dua is the weapon of the Believer.....Use it!

Ramadan 2011

Bismillahir Rahmanir Rahim

In the name of Allah, the Most Beneficent, the Most Merciful

Just a few days left for the month of Mercy, the month of forgiveness, the month when the blesssed Quran was revealed, the blessed month of Ramadan. This is the month when we abstain from food and drink from sunrise to sunset....But why do we fast?  Is it to feel what the poor feel, is it to make ourselves fitter etc. Of course to actually experience the hunger the less privileged go through and then to thank Allah for bestowing His bounties upon us is good but the real reason we fast is to gain taqwa (God consciousness). Allah SWT is the only reason we should be fasting for, we fast as He (God) has commanded us to; the One who has created us always knows what is best for us:-

“O you who believe, fasting has been prescribed for you as it has been prescribed for people before you so that you will (learn how to) attain Taqwa” ( 2:183)

One thing we must remember to do is to  renew our intentions...we have to remind ourselves why we are fasting. Also another thing that has become a norm is the over indulging of food....this has to stop as Ramadan is not a 30 day eating contest where we have to throw in as much food as we can when we break our fast....that is not the reason we have been commanded to fast. This month is a blessing, lets try and reap as many blessings as we can Insha'Allah.

May Allah help us all to make every fast this Ramadan a shield in the Hereafter. May Allah not make us one of those who do not get anything from their fasts except for hunger and thirst. And May Allah guide us towards making this Ramadan a source for gathering numerous blessings and getting our major and minor sins forgiven. And the most important thing is may we continue to strive once this honourable guest has left us, Ameen.

Bismillahir Rahmanir Rahim

In the name of Allah, the Most Beneficent, the Most Merciful

‘Kullu nafsin dzaa'iqatul maut’ translated as ‘Every soul shall taste death!


Yes it doesn’t matter who you are:


young or old



white or black



rich or poor



male or female



You will taste death......






EVERY PERSON HAS AN APPOINTED TERM.......


when the term is reached.....that's it!




Your soul will be taken back to who it belongs




Inna lillaahi wa inna ilayhi Raaji'oon meaning:


'To Allah we belong and to Him is our return.'......its as simple as that!


But do we REALLY, TRULY understand these words and their implications in our life?


It means …whatever we have is not really ours. It belongs to Allah. We belong to Allah


Each day that passes, each day we breathe, each day we go about our lives, sinning or doing good, is but a day closer to our end, closer to our return to Allah SWT....time is running out so ‘Take Account of yourself before you are accounted for’.

A powerful video  to reflect upon.....check it out
