JazakAllah Khair

May Allah see us through the Holy month

This is really enlightning..Thanks OP.

Jazakallahu khairan

May Allah help us remain clean throughout this period.

May almighty Allah SWT make it easy for us all, May we all Muslim faithful reap the benefits of the holy month of Ramadhan Amin! May Allah guide us, May we not go astray Amin!

May Allah spare our lives through Ramadan and beyond.

Jazaka Allah khayran.

May ALLAH in His Infinite Mercies bless you abundantly. Many muslims are of the idea that if they wake up by 3am they have taken suhur which is wrong. As our Prophet said: Delay eating suhur but hasten to break. Also, let us not lose the blessing of taking suhur as some of us feel they are not in need of it. We are all weak before ALLAH and should hasten to accept whatever Favours HE bestows upon us.

May ALLAH Guide us and bestow upon us the blessings of the coming ramadan.

Ramadan Mubarak to all my brothers and sisters in Islam.

may Allah bless all our good deed in this holy mouth

May ALLAH accept it as an act of ibaadah..

Please is there any possibility that the moon will be sited today. I mean when is it likely to be the beginning of the fasting?

Masha Allah..the following might also be of great benefit to some of us...

HOW TO COMPLETE THE
NOBLE QURAN in RAMADAN:
▪▪▪▪▪▪▪

■The Quran has 600 pages approx!
■ If you divide it by 30 days, that's 20 pages a day!
■You're thinking that's difficult to do right?
■But, if you divide it by 5 prayers a day, it gets easier:
■If you read 4 pages after every salah in Ramadan, then you've completed the Quran.
■ If you want to complete the Quran twice, you read 4 pages before and after every salah.

■ Imagine, if you forward this message, if just one person benefits and complete the Quran. And it gets even better, because you would get the reward for them finding it easier to complete,
IN SHAA ALLAH!
SENT to me by a friend.

Alhamdulilah

Ramadan Kareem..

may Almighty Allah see us through...

May ALLAH accept it as an act of ibaadah..

Narrated AbuHurayrah:
The Prophet (ﷺ) said: When any of you hears the summons to prayer while he has a vessel in his hand, he should not lay it down till he fulfils his need.
حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الأَعْلَى بْنُ حَمَّادٍ، حَدَّثَنَا حَمَّادٌ، عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عَمْرٍو، عَنْ أَبِي سَلَمَةَ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ، قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم ‏"‏ إِذَا سَمِعَ أَحَدُكُمُ النِّدَاءَ وَالإِنَاءُ عَلَى يَدِهِ فَلاَ يَضَعْهُ حَتَّى يَقْضِيَ حَاجَتَهُ مِنْهُ

Jazakallahu Khairan...

may almighty ALLAH accept this ramadan as an act of ibadah and accept our prayers. I wish all Muslims around the world ramadan Kareem and may we witness many more of it. insha ALLAH
