Let’s Read Surah Kahf Today (Friday) ~The Best Gift For Your Children Is Being Righteous Parents ~

وَأَمَّا ٱلْجِدَارُ فَكَانَ لِغُلَٰمَيْنِ يَتِيمَيْنِ فِى ٱلْمَدِينَةِ وَكَانَ تَحْتَهُۥ كَنزٌ لَّهُمَا وَكَانَ أَبُوهُمَا صَٰلِحًا فَأَرَادَ رَبُّكَ أَن يَبْلُغَآ أَشُدَّهُمَا وَيَسْتَخْرِجَا كَنزَهُمَا رَحْمَةً

“And as for the wall, it belonged to two orphan boys in the city, and there was beneath it a treasure for them, and their father had been righteous. So your Lord intended that they reach maturity and extract their treasure, as a mercy from your Lord.” [Quran, Al Kahf 18:82]

This ayah carries a hint that arrangements were made to have the buried treasure secured for the orphan children through al-Khidir because the father of the orphan children was a pious man, dear in the sight of Allah. It was to grant his wish and to bring benefit to his children that Allah made this arrangement. Muhammad ibn al-Munkadir says: 'It is because of the piety and righteousness of a servant of His that Allah protects his children.' (Mazhari) This ayah also indicates that people too should show consideration and affection for the children of the learned and the pious - unless, of course, they were to succumb to disbelief and sin. (Mazhari]

Let's Read Surah Al Kahf Today (Friday)

قُلْ إِنَّمَآ أَنَا۠ بَشَرٌ مِّثْلُكُمْ يُوحَىٰٓ إِلَىَّ أَنَّمَآ إِلَٰهُكُمْ إِلَٰهٌ وَٰحِدٌ فَمَن كَانَ يَرْجُوا۟ لِقَآءَ رَبِّهِۦ فَلْيَعْمَلْ عَمَلًا صَٰلِحًلَا يُشْرِكْ بِعِبَادَةِ رَبِّهِۦٓ أَحَدَۢا ‎﴿١١٠﴾‏

Say [O Prophet], "I am only a man like you, to whom has been revealed that your god is one God. So whoever would hope for the meeting with his Lord - let him do righteous work and not associate in the worship of his Lord anyone." [Quran, Al Kahf 18:110]

Maintaining Connection with Ramadhan ~ Fasting Six Days of Shawwal ~

بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم 

Maintaining Connection with Ramadhan 

~ Fasting Six Days of Shawwal ~

The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said, “Fasting Ramadhan and following it with six days from Shawwal is like continual fasting.” [Muslim]

This is because the reward of actions is multiplied at least tenfold. Therefore, fasting during Ramadhan is akin to fasting for 300 days, and fasting for the six days of Shawwal is like fasting for 60 days.

Don’t miss this opportunity to maintain your commection with Ramadhan.

No Excuse For Not Praying On Time

بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم 

No Excuse For Not Praying On Time

When Allah commanded the sky and the earth that they must submit to His Will either by their free choice or by force, they both replied that they accepted His authority by their voluntary choice. [Quran, Fussilat 4:11]  At another place the Quran says there are still others which fall down in fear of Allah, which means that there are rocks, which fall down in fear of Allah. [Quran, Al Baqarah 2:74]

The sun, the most massive object in the Solar system, is vastly larger than the Earth. Nevertheless she makes sujud to Allah. Every time the sun has to rise, she said "I don't want to rise." Because she doesn't want to provide light to the disobedient people. Then Allah says to the sun (in close meanings), "Don't you see when you rise, the shadows of those who don't want to obey Me are in prostration?" And the sun rises. Even those who does not want to submit to Allah, their shadows submit to Allah.

The sun travels at 425 miles per second but she could find time to prostrate to Allah. How about you? You say life is so busy! Do you travel at 425 miles per second? Obviously you don't. So you have no excuse to not pray on time and perform sujud to Allah.
