Praying and Worshiping Together

Praying and Worshiping Together

Ramadhan is a time of spiritual togetherness. Praying together as a family strengthens love and unity. 

The Prophet ﷺ encouraged this by saying: “When a man wakes his wife at night and they pray two rak’ahs together, they are recorded among those who remember Allah often.” (Abu Dawood)

Ways to strengthen the bond through worship:

-Praying Taraweeh and Tahajjud together.

-Reciting Quran as a family and discussing its meaning.

-Making du’a together, especially before iftar.

-Encouraging children to participate in acts of worship.

Action Tip: Designate a time for family Quran reflection each night in Ramadhan.

Strengthen Family bonds, Strengthen Iman

Strengthen Family bonds, Strengthen Iman

Ramadhan is the perfect time to strengthen family bonds and spread love. Allah reminds us in Surah An-Nahl (16:90) to be just, kind, and generous—especially to our family. So why not use this month to be more patient, forgiving, and supportive? Share iftar together, pray as a family, and take time to appreciate each other. Got a relative you haven’t spoken to in a while? Reach out, forgive, and reconnect—life’s too short for grudges. And don’t forget to make du’a for your loved ones. Strengthening family ties not only brings barakah but also draws us closer to Allah. Let’s make this Ramadhan about faith, love, and togetherness.

--Serve iftar to those in need.

2.Speak only words of encouragement and peace.

3.Perfect your worship (Salah, Quran recitation, dhikr) with sincerity.

اللهم بارك لنا في رمضان، وأعنّا على صيامه وقيامه، وتقبّله منّا بقبول حسن، واغفر لنا فيه الذنوب، واعتق رقابنا من النار

O Allah, bless us in Ramadhan, help us in fasting and standing in prayer, accept it from us with a beautiful acceptance, forgive our sins, and free us from the Fire.

The Essence of Ramadhan: Worship, Justice, and Good Character

بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم 

The Essence of Ramadhan: Worship, Justice, and Good Character

Allah says, "Indeed, Allah commands justice, good conduct, and giving to relatives and forbids immorality, bad conduct, and oppression. He admonishes you that perhaps you will be reminded. (Surah An-Nahl 16:90)

Allah commands us to practice ‘adl (justice) in worship and daily life and to go beyond that--to live with ihsan (excellence and kindness.) 

Ramadhan is a time to balance our duties—between worship, work, family, and self-care; to increase acts of kindness; to reconnect with family; to avoid immorality (fahsha); to prevent evil (munkar);  to stay away from oppression (baghy); to reflect and increase gratitude.

This one Ayah can serve as a roadmap for a spiritual reset. It calls for a balanced and purposeful life—something the month of fasting is designed to cultivate. If we apply this Ayah during Ramadhan, it transforms our character, makes our ibadah more meaningful, and brings us closer to Allah.

O Allah, make us just, kind, and pure-hearted. Aameen.

Maximizing Ramadhan: A Month of Spiritual Elevation

Our noble guest, Ramadhan, has arrived. How much attention are you giving to this honored ambassador of Allah? How are you treating this noble visitor? Understand that Ramadhan is a magnificent gift, not merely an obstacle to get through.

Now, reflect on how you welcome your guest. Are you setting aside worldly distractions this month? Restrain the habits influenced by Shaytan and use this sacred time to elevate your worship. If you usually complete one khatam of the Quran, strive for two this Ramadhan. Increase your Sunnah prayers, go to the masjid for prayers and taraweeh, wake up for Tahajjud, give charity daily, and make abundant du’a—especially seeking Allah’s acceptance. Involve your family in acts of worship and make this Ramadhan a transformative experience. 

اللهم بارك لنا في رمضان، وأعنّا على صيامه وقيامه، وتقبّله منّا بقبول حسن، واغفر لنا فيه الذنوب، واعتق رقابنا من النار.

(O Allah, bless us in Ramadhan, help us in fasting and standing in prayer, accept it from us with a beautiful acceptance, forgive our sins, and free us from the Fire.) Aameen.
