Noble Quran: Juz' 5 (An Nisaa 24 - An Nisaa 147)

The prophet said...

The Prophet (pbuh) said: ”Acquire knowledge, it enables its professor to distinguish right from wrong; it lights the way to heaven. It is our friend in the desert, our company in solitude and companion when friendless. It guides us to happiness, it s...ustains us in misery, it is an ornament amongst friends and an armor against enemies.”

Al-Quran: Juz' 1 (Al Fatiha 1-Al Baqarah 141)

And Now Is Ramadan! Allahu Akbar!

I have so many plans for Ramadan, but, insha'Allah, every action will increase me in piety. Ya Allah! We are filled with love for You and love for the beautiful prophet, Muhammad, may You shower him and all the prophets with your blessings and peace.

I also plan to make this blog more active this month, insha'Allah. One idea I have is to make a video and reading of the Juz of the day. I believe Juz 1 is today.

Today I would also like to post videos of the first Ramadan prayers from Mecca and perhaps from other places around the world. I would like to share this as a gift to Allah and to those who are seeking Allah.

Ya Allah!

Please enjoy this video of the first night of Ramadan in Makkah. Praise the Beloved!

The prophet said...

Abu Hurairah quotes the Prophet (Pbuh) as saying : “By Him who holds my soul in His hands, you shall not be admitted into Heaven until you are truly Muslims, and you shall not be Muslims until you love one another. Spread the greeting of peace among you in order to love one another. Stay away from hatred because that is the razor. I do not say to you that it removes hair, but it removes the faith altogether.”
