اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّى أَعُوذُ بِكَ مِنْ عِلْمٍ لاَ يَنْفَعُ وَمِنْ قَلْبٍ لاَ يَخْشَعُ وَمِنْ نَفْسٍ لاَ تَشْبَعُ وَمِنْ دَعْوَةٍ لاَ يُسْتَجَابُ لَهَا

[mashriqiyyah]

“You have been given that which suffices you but you desire that which will ruin you. You’re not content with a little nor are you quenched with a lot. How can a person ever work for the Hereafter when he can’t sever his desires from the Dunya (world)? The strangest of affairs is that of a person who believes firmly in the Home of Truth (Paradise) but yet strives only for the Home of Delusion (Dunya).”

Fajr Reflection 🌄 by @wrappedinamystery

The Messenger of Allah (blessings and peace of Allah be upon him) said:

“The most perfect of the believers in faith are those who are best in manners and attitude, who are humble, who feel at ease with people and people feel at ease with them. He is not one of us who does not feel at ease with people and they do not feel at ease with him.”

Classed as hasan by al-Albaani in as-Saheehah (751).

What is meant by “humble” is those who are gentle and do not offend or upset the one who befriends them.

The Prophet (blessings and peace of Allah be upon him) said:

“Verily you cannot afford to make people happy with your wealth, but you can make them happy with you by means of a cheerful face and good attitude.”

Classed as hasan by al-Albaani in Saheeh at-Targheeb (2661).

The Messenger of Allah (blessings and peace of Allah be upon him) said:

“Verily Allah is Kind and loves kindness, and He rewards for kindness in a way that He does not reward for harshness or for anything else.”

Al-Bukhaari (6927) and Muslim (2593) narrated from ‘Aa’ishah (may Allah be pleased with her).

[may 22, 2024]

yall i have been so hyperfixated on making a neocities website,,,, it consumed my entire brain yesterday and i ended up sitting at my computer for hours and hours and i missed asr and maghrib because i felt like i couldnt do anything else :))))) astagfirullah

when i hyperfixate, it feels like nothing else matters, not even basic stuff like eating or using the bathroom. i usually dont realize how much time has passed, and if i do, i cant get myself to care enough to stop

but then after a while, i finally got up and realized how awful i felt, like it was suddenly an extremely terrible depression, i couldnt remember what its like to have religious beliefs. it was scary because i dont want to leave islam behind, like ive done so many times before! but its like im suddenly an entirely different person with different beliefs (not really in a system way, i still identified as myself, but more just feeling very disconnected from all previous emotions)

but alhamdullilah, willow (another system member) co-fronted and got us to pray isha. it was immediately comforting and i felt my emotions and faith returning to me. then the next morning, it felt really easy to get up and pray fajr, which i usually struggle with.

i know this may be obvious, but i think thats the whole point of salah being obligatory. like, even when we dont feel like it, when we have no motivation or faith, we're still urged to do our prayers, and thats like the anchor that grounds us. sometimes it feels like a burden, but its honestly really nice to have dedicated parts of the day where we can just reflect and be grateful. (also fajr has helped fix my sleep schedule SO MUCH, omg i love waking up early)

,,, i originally started writing this post so i could share the neocities site, but i ended up writing a whole essay lmao. anyway here's the site (theres still a lot of things i want to add but im proud of it so far)

The Majesty of Surah Al-Fajr (1-14): Reflect and Revive

[bintturaab]

Ramadān Tips:

By Shield of Taqwa

1. Limit your use of social media and spending excessive time on it socialising. Every second of Ramadān is precious, so don’t waste your time online if it won’t bring any benefit. However, online platforms should be used for spreading reminders and benefits, and one shouldn’t stay away from it completely if they are using it to benefit the Ummah.

2. Eat healthy. Don’t overeat and stay away from unhealthy foods as it will effect your quality of ‘Ibādah. Drink plenty of water when you can.

3. Don’t waste time after you break your fast like many do and excessively socialise. It’s best to stay away from such gatherings in the first place so you don’t fall into doing and speaking about harām things.

4. Always make extra effort and do more as Allāh has made ‘Ibādah so easy for us in this blessed month, alhamdulilāh.

5. Utilise the early hours of the morning well after Fajr, as they have so much barakah in them. Use this time to recite a lot of Qur’ān, memorise and reflect over it and remember Allāh.

6. Recite as much Qur’ān as possible! If you struggle with this, base your recitation around the prayer times and try to at least read a page before and after each Salāh and increase as you go. Although there’s nothing wrong with completing the Qur’ān as that’s what the righteous of the past used to do in this blessed month, don’t forget to also read the tafsīr and reflect over the meanings. This will have a greater effect on one’s Īmān, Taqwā and Salāh, inside and outside of Ramadān.

7. Get a decent amount of rest so you can wake up frequently if able in the last third of the night to do extra ‘Ibādah. There are special times where du’ā is more likely to be answered, now imagine the likelihood of it being answered in the last third of the night, during Ramadān, in Sujūd, and even more so if that night was Laylatul Qadr!

8. Seek Laylatul Qadr every night in the last ten nights, especially the odd nights, and refrain from singling one night out and ignoring the rest. Allāh will only allow the true, sincere ones who make effort with ‘Ibādah to witness this amazing, blessed night.

9. Help your brothers and sisters whenever you can with their needs and hasten to do good deeds even faster in this month.

10. Be humble in front of Allāh and turn to Him in repentance every day and night of Ramadān. Only All��h knows how many sins we have accumulated over the year so we need to beg Allāh for His forgiveness during these blessed days and nights, and think well of Allāh always.

These are a few tips, but there is so much more that can be done to maximise our ‘Ibādah in this month. Also don’t forget to make plenty of du’ā for the entire ummah; those living and those in their graves.

May Allāh accept our worship and help us truly give this blessed month its rights.

اللهم آمين

[seobtwwi]

“…And whoever fears Allah - He will make for him a way out. And will provide for him from where he does not expect. And whoever relies upon Allah - then He is sufficient for him…”

- Quran [65 : 2-3]

[thehiddenmuslimah]

Ways on how you can make the most out of these last 10 days. Read below ⬇️

❥ These ten nights of Ramadhan are the greatest ten nights of the entire year, and one of these nights is greater than 1000 months. Every deed you do is multiplied immensely. Take advantage and don’t waste any time, even if it means forcing yourself through phases of laziness and procrastination; you’ll have no regrets working hard in these nights, but you will have regrets if you waste them. If you didn’t do well in your first 20 days of Ramadhan, you can make up for it by finishing strong. Aisha رضي الله عنها narrated to that the Prophet ﷺ would strive hard in worship during the last ten nights of Ramadhan more than any other time.[Sahih Muslim 1175].

❥ Memorize and keep reciting the du’aa that you should make throughout these ten nights while seeking the Night of Decree, as was taught by the Prophet ﷺ –Allaahumma innaka ‘afuwwun tuhibb al-‘afwa fa’affu ‘anni *(O Allah, You are forgiving, and You love forgiveness, so forgive me). اللهم إنك عفو تحب العفو فاعف عني.(Sunan Ibn Majah 3850)

❥ The exact date of Laylatul Qadr (the Night of Decree) is not known with certainty and it could fall on *any* of these night tens. Do you really want to risk losing out on the reward of 1000+ months of worship? Whoever stands in prayer on Laylat al-Qadr out of faith and in the hope of reward, his previous sins will be forgiven.” [Sahih al-Bukhari 1901]. This is the night in which the Decree is shown to the Angels as well, and it reflects one’s provisions, blessings, trials, punishments, life, and death, so strive hard to be of the people who are worshiping Allah on this night.

❥ Prepare a list of du’aa and put your heart into it – these are nights of increased acceptance! One of these nights is the Night of Decree, so make du’aa for yourself, your family and loved ones, and our brothers and sisters around the world, especially the oppressed Muslim brothers and sisters in فلسطين, Syria, Yemen, Lebanon, Sudan, Congo, Uyghurs Muslims, Rohingya Muslims and all around the world. The people you pray for will benefit from your du’aa, as will you.

❥ Try to nap during the day so that you can worship Allah more actively at night. Intend to sleep for His sake so that you can wake up energized for worship, and that sincere intention will bring about His blessing in your energy. If you have work or are busy with children, then at the very least find some time to pray qiyaam before sleeping or before Fajr – to your best capacity.

❥ Try to detox yourself completely from social media or reduce it to a minimum. Focus instead on your relationship with Allah سبحانه و تعالى as much as possible.

❥ Include a lot of Qur’an recitation (and translation, if applicable), dhikr and adhkars, lengthy prayers, and a lot of du’aa. If you have work or school during the daytime, keep your tongue busy with the remembrance of Allah as much as you can.

❥ Be patient through your other tasks, such as work, school, raising children, etc. Know that you have been given a huge blessing by being alive in this blessed month when many others have passed away. Imagine this is your last time to experience these ten nights and motivate yourself to excel as much as possible as if you’re bidding farewell to Ramadhan.

❥ Give charity throughout these 10 nights in order to be guaranteed that your charity falls on Laylatul Qadr – better than 1000 months of worship.

❥ Motivate others – your family, friends, and community to take these ten nights seriously. Remember that the nights are very short and extremely precious; this is the most valuable time of the year which cannot be wasted. Wake up your family if possible and worship Allah سبحانه و تعالى together. Truly, the deprived person is the one who misses out on Laylatul Qadr and the blessings of Ramadhan. May Allah bless our time and accept from us on Laylatul Qadr. Aameen.

(DID NOT INCLUDE CUZ NO SPACE) Ya Allah, allow our good deeds to continue throughout the year as a sign of the acceptance of our deeds in Ramadhan. Aameen 💛

Benefits of Salatul Fajr

The Fajr prayer, also known as the dawn prayer, is one of the five daily prayers (Salat) in Islam. It is performed before sunrise, typically during the twilight before the sun rises. Muslims are encouraged to pray the Fajr prayer for several reasons, including spiritual, religious, and practical ones:

Obedience to Allah (God): Praying Fajr is an act of obedience to Allah's commandments as outlined in the Quran and the Hadith (sayings and actions of the Prophet Muhammad). It is considered a fundamental religious obligation for Muslims.

Spiritual Connection: Fajr prayer allows Muslims to start their day with a strong connection to Allah. It is a time for reflection, gratitude, and seeking Allah's guidance for the day ahead. It helps maintain a strong spiritual connection throughout the day.

Discipline: Waking up early to perform the Fajr prayer requires discipline and commitment. It teaches self-control and the ability to resist worldly distractions, which can be valuable qualities for personal growth and development.

Blessings and Rewards: Muslims believe that performing the Fajr prayer brings blessings and rewards from Allah. The Prophet Muhammad is reported to have said that the two units (Rak'ahs) of Fajr prayer are better than the world and all it contains.

Community and Unity: Praying Fajr in congregation (with others at the mosque) fosters a sense of community and unity among Muslims. It strengthens the bonds of brotherhood and sisterhood among believers.

Protection from Evil: The Fajr prayer is believed to provide protection from evil forces and negative influences. It serves as a shield for the believer throughout the day.

Mental Clarity and Focus: Starting the day with prayer helps to clear the mind and focus on what's important. It can enhance productivity and decision-making.

Health Benefits: Waking up early for Fajr prayer can have physical health benefits. It sets a routine that aligns with the body's natural circadian rhythms, which can improve sleep patterns and overall well-being.

Consistency in Worship: Regularly performing Fajr prayer establishes a consistent pattern of worship throughout the day, with the other four daily prayers (Dhuhr, Asr, Maghrib, and Isha) following.

It's important to note that Fajr prayer holds significant spiritual and religious value in Islam, and its observance is considered a fundamental part of a Muslim's daily life. However, it is also recognized that there may be legitimate reasons, such as illness or travel, that can exempt individuals from performing the Fajr prayer. In such cases, Muslims are encouraged to make up for the missed prayer as soon as they are able.

A Practical Guide to Completing the Quran in One Month

Completing the Quran in a month is a noble and achievable goal that many Muslims aspire to, especially during the month of Ramadan. It requires a bit of planning, discipline, and consistency, but with the right approach, it’s entirely possible. If you're wondering how to finish the Quran in a month, this guide will break down the steps in a way that’s easy to follow, even if you’re new to the process.

Understanding the Quran and the Time Frame

The Quran consists of 30 Juz' (sections), so to finish it in one month, you’ll need to read one Juz' each day. This might seem like a lot, but when broken down into smaller, manageable chunks, it becomes a more realistic task.

In total, the Quran contains approximately 604 pages. If you divide that by 30 days, it comes out to about 20 pages a day. For some, this might still feel like a big commitment, but with a consistent schedule and a little bit of focus, it can be done.

Breaking Down Your Daily Reading

To make things more manageable, let’s break your daily goal into smaller parts:

Start your day with intention: When you wake up, remind yourself of your goal. Having a clear purpose will help you stay motivated. If you're doing this during Ramadan, the early hours before Fajr (dawn) can be a peaceful time to read.

Divide the 20 pages: Instead of trying to read all 20 pages at once, consider dividing them into smaller sessions throughout the day. You can start after Fajr prayer, read a few pages after Dhuhr, another portion after Asr, and then finish after Isha. This will make it less overwhelming and give you time to reflect on what you've read.

Set reminders: You might get caught up in your daily routine and forget to make time for reading. Set alarms or reminders on your phone to help you stay on track. This way, you can fit in your Quran reading at different times of the day.

Making It a Habit

Reading the Quran daily should become a habit, something that feels natural and not forced. Here’s how to build that consistency:

Consistency is key: If you read at the same time each day, it’ll be easier to stick to your plan. Over time, your mind and body will get used to this routine, and you’ll be able to read without much effort.

Set realistic goals: If you’re not used to reading so much, don’t try to rush through it. Start with 10 pages a day, and gradually increase until you reach your goal of 20 pages.

Use a Quran app or audio: If you’re busy or traveling, you can use Quran apps on your phone or listen to audio recitations while commuting or doing other tasks. This can be a great way to stay on track even when you're not physically holding the Quran.

Stay Engaged and Reflect

Reading the Quran is not just about finishing it quickly. It’s important to reflect on its meanings and lessons, even as you aim to complete it in a month. Here are a few ways to stay engaged:

Take notes: Jot down thoughts or verses that resonate with you. This will help you remember and reflect on what you've read.

Use a translation or tafsir: If you don’t speak Arabic fluently, reading a translation can help you understand the message more deeply. You can also explore tafsir (Quranic exegesis) to gain further insights into the verses.

Make supplications: As you read, make dua (supplication) for yourself, your family, and the world. This adds a personal connection to your reading and makes it more meaningful.

Adjusting to Your Schedule

Sometimes, life can get in the way. You might miss a session due to work, family, or unexpected events. Don’t get discouraged. Just make up for the missed reading as soon as you can, without feeling overwhelmed.

Here are a few tips if you fall behind:

Read extra pages on weekends: If you miss a day, try reading a little more on weekends when you have more free time.

Catch up in smaller increments: If you’re behind, don’t feel you need to catch up in large chunks. Reading just a few extra pages at a time will help you get back on track without stressing yourself out.

Celebrate Your Progress

As you approach the end of the month, take time to celebrate your progress. Completing the Quran is a significant accomplishment, and it’s important to acknowledge the effort you’ve put into your reading.

Share your journey with others. Whether it’s with your family, friends, or a community, discussing what you’ve learned and experienced can deepen your connection with the Quran.

Conclusion

So, if you're asking yourself how to finish the Quran in a month, it’s all about setting realistic goals, staying consistent, and remaining mindful of your reading. Whether you’re reading one Juz’ a day or breaking it into smaller chunks, the key is to make the experience meaningful and not just a task to check off.

With dedication, patience, and a well-planned schedule, you can achieve this goal and develop a deeper understanding of the Quran along the way. Keep at it, and remember that the journey itself is just as valuable as the destination.

Understanding the Islamic Concept of Prayer (Salat) with Believers including Christopher Tucker (Upper Darby)

Prayer, or Salat, is one of the central pillars of Islam, serving as a direct means of communication between a Muslim and Allah (God). It is not merely a ritualistic act; rather, it is a profound expression of devotion and submission to the Creator. Muslims are required to perform Salat five times a day, and through this practice, they reaffirm their faith and seek guidance, forgiveness, and blessings. The act of praying serves to keep believers connected to their spiritual and moral responsibilities.

The concept of prayer in Islam extends beyond just physical actions; it involves deep spiritual reflection and mindfulness. Salat is performed at specific times throughout the day, each of which has significance both in terms of spiritual practice and daily life. Understanding the spiritual, physical, and communal aspects of Salat is essential in grasping the depth of this practice.

The Spiritual Significance of Salat

The spiritual essence of Salat lies in its ability to connect the individual directly to Allah. Each prayer session serves as a reminder of God's presence, power, and mercy, instilling a sense of humility in the believer. The act of prayer is seen as a form of worship that renews the faith and reminds individuals of their ultimate purpose. Through the recitations in Salat, supporters like Christopher Tucker (Upper Darby) affirm the oneness of God and acknowledge their dependence on Him.

Furthermore, Salat is a means of purification for the soul. It offers an opportunity for Muslims to seek forgiveness for their sins and to ask for divine assistance. By engaging in prayer regularly, individuals are reminded of their moral obligations, fostering a continuous state of self-discipline and reflection. This constant connection to Allah helps believers maintain spiritual clarity and resilience in their daily lives.

The Rituals and Movements of Salat

Salat is characterized by a series of physical movements and recitations that create a sense of rhythm and discipline. These actions include standing, bowing, prostrating, and sitting, each with its own specific purpose. The movements are not arbitrary but are designed to embody submission and humility before Allah. The act of prostration, where a person’s forehead touches the ground, is one of the most significant moments of Salat, symbolizing total submission to God.

In addition to these physical actions, Salat involves specific prayers and verses from the Quran, including the recitation of Surah Al-Fatiha, which is often considered the essence of Islamic prayer. The prescribed movements and recitations create a sense of unity among enthusiasts such as Christopher Tucker (Upper Darby), as every believer follows the same format regardless of geographical location. This uniformity reinforces the sense of community in Islam.

The Importance of the Five Daily Prayers

One of the distinguishing features of Salat is that it is performed five times a day, at specific times: before dawn (Fajr), midday (Dhuhr), afternoon (Asr), evening (Maghrib), and night (Isha). These regular prayers structure the day and provide constant reminders of spiritual duties. Each prayer is an opportunity for believers to pause their daily routines and focus on their relationship with Allah, fostering a sense of mindfulness and balance.

The five daily prayers serve to bring order and rhythm to the Muslim’s day, ensuring that their connection to God remains constant. This structure also ensures that believers remain grounded in their faith throughout the day. By performing Salat regularly, believers including Christopher Tucker (Upper Darby) demonstrate their commitment to worship, seek guidance, and maintain spiritual awareness. The times for each prayer hold significance, with each one corresponding to different stages of the day, reinforcing the idea of spiritual reflection during all parts of life.

The Role of Wudu (Ablution) in Prayer

Before performing Salat, supporters like Christopher Tucker (Upper Darby) perform wudu (ablution), a ritual purification that involves washing specific parts of the body. This act of physical purification is considered a prerequisite for spiritual cleanliness and serves as a preparation for standing before Allah. The act of wudu is not just about cleanliness but also symbolizes the removal of impurities, both physical and spiritual.

The requirement of wudu ensures that prayer is performed with a sense of respect and reverence. It serves as a reminder to believers that the act of worship requires both physical and mental preparation. The process of washing hands, face, and feet, among other body parts, symbolizes a cleansing of the self in preparation for the sacred act of prayer, emphasizing the importance of purity in approaching God.

Salat as a Collective Experience

While Salat can be performed individually, it also holds a strong communal aspect, particularly in the form of the Friday congregational prayer (Jumu'ah). Performing Salat in a congregation strengthens the bonds of the Muslim community (Ummah) and reinforces shared spiritual goals. The communal prayer emphasizes unity and equality, as everyone stands shoulder to shoulder, regardless of social or economic status.

Enthusiasts such as Christopher Tucker (Upper Darby) convey that the act of praying together also facilitates a sense of belonging and shared devotion. It fosters a community spirit where believers come together to support one another, spiritually and emotionally. The collective performance of Salat highlights the idea that Islam is not just an individual practice but also a communal responsibility. This collective nature of prayer encourages social cohesion and strengthens the faith of the wider Muslim community.

The Five Pillars of Islam: A Foundation of Faith

The Five Pillars of Islam are the fundamental practices that define a Muslim's devotion and spiritual life. They encompass faith, worship, and charity, guiding every aspect of a believer’s existence. In addition to being personal acts of worship, these pillars also foster a sense of community and social responsibility. For parents seeking the best Islamic school in Lahore, teaching these principles early ensures that children grow up understanding the core values of their religion.

Shahada: The Declaration of Faith

The Shahada is the first and most significant pillar of Islam. It is the declaration that "There is no god but Allah, and Muhammad is His Messenger." This statement affirms a Muslim’s belief in monotheism and the prophethood of Muhammad (PBUH).

Meaning and Importance

The Shahada is a simple yet profound declaration that encapsulates the essence of Islam. By reciting it sincerely, one enters the fold of Islam. It signifies complete submission to Allah and recognition of His authority. For children studying at the best Islamic school, understanding the Shahada lays the groundwork for all other practices in Islam.

Salat: The Daily Prayers

Salat is the second pillar and involves offering five daily prayers. These prayers are performed at specific times: Fajr (before dawn), Dhuhr (midday), Asr (afternoon), Maghrib (sunset), and Isha (night).

Purpose and Practice

Prayer is a direct link between a believer and Allah. Each prayer involves a series of physical movements, including bowing, prostration, and sitting, combined with Quranic recitations. The discipline of praying regularly instills mindfulness and gratitude, essential traits for students growing up in a structured environment.

Benefits of Salat

Spiritual: Strengthens faith and fosters a personal connection with Allah.

Social: Congregational prayers promote unity among Muslims.

Personal: Encourages time management and discipline.

Zakat: Obligatory Charity

Zakat, the third pillar, emphasizes the importance of wealth purification and social justice. Muslims are required to give 2.5% of their eligible assets to those in need annually.

Who Pays Zakat?

Zakat is obligatory for financially able Muslims who meet the minimum threshold of wealth (nisab). Eligible assets include savings, gold, silver, and investments.

Impact on Society

Zakat ensures that wealth circulates and addresses inequalities within the community. By teaching the importance of charity, institutions like the best school encourage empathy and generosity among young learners.

Sawm: Fasting During Ramadan

Sawm, the fourth pillar, involves fasting from dawn to sunset during the holy month of Ramadan. Muslims refrain from eating, drinking, and engaging in negative behavior, focusing instead on prayer and self-discipline.

Rules and Purpose

Fasting is obligatory for all adult Muslims, with exceptions for children, the elderly, the sick, and pregnant women. The primary purpose of fasting is to attain taqwa (God-consciousness) and reflect on the blessings in one’s life.

Benefits of Fasting

Spiritual: Strengthens reliance on Allah and fosters self-control.

Physical: Detoxifies the body and promotes healthy habits.

Social: Encourages sharing and gratitude, especially during iftar meals.

Students at the Islamic school learn about fasting not just as a religious duty but also as a way to connect with those who face hunger daily.

Hajj: The Pilgrimage to Mecca

The fifth pillar, Hajj, is an annual pilgrimage to Mecca that every Muslim must undertake at least once if financially and physically able.

Significance of Hajj

Hajj is a profound spiritual journey that represents equality and unity among Muslims. Pilgrims wear simple white garments (ihram) to symbolize humility before Allah. Rituals include circling the Kaaba, standing at Arafat, and stoning the Jamarat.

Transformative Experience

For those who perform Hajj, the experience is life-changing. It strengthens faith, promotes gratitude, and reminds Muslims of their ultimate purpose: to worship Allah. Islamic schools, including the best Islamic school in Lahore, often teach about Hajj through storytelling and visuals, making it relatable for young minds.

Modern Relevance of the Five Pillars

In today’s fast-paced world, the Five Pillars remain as relevant as ever. They offer a balanced approach to life, combining spiritual growth with social responsibility.

Challenges and Solutions

Muslims often face challenges in practicing their faith, such as busy schedules or societal pressures. However, supportive communities, technology (like prayer apps), and institutions like the best Islamic school like shajar school in Lahore help Muslims integrate their religious practices into daily life.

Conclusion The Five Pillars of Islam are a comprehensive guide to living a fulfilling and meaningful life. They emphasize devotion, discipline, and community, forming the bedrock of a Muslim’s faith. For parents seeking to instill these values in their children, the Shajar Islamic school in Lahore offers an environment where religious principles are not only taught but also lived. By understanding and practicing the Five Pillars, Muslims can achieve a harmonious balance between worldly responsibilities and spiritual obligations.
