day

become easier from here.

Ñ Sehri

throughout the day

Inspiration Station It is not within our power to go back and make a brand new start, what is done is done, but we can start from now and

make a brand new ending.

Taraweeh Tip! As many people know do not overfill your stomach at iftari otherwise you will be lazy for Taraweeh. Instead eat your iftari in small portions up until Isha time.



Deed of the day


7

Daily Hadith: The Prophet (pbuh) said, "There is a tree in Paradise (which is so big and huge that) if a rider travels in its shade for one hundred years, he would not be able to cross it.“ (Bukhari)


Send a message out to all your contacts sharing a good Islamic video, quote or image to inspire

them in Ramadan.


Ñ Sehri

Suggestion!

Hard boiled egg, some fruit and

whole grain cereal.

Inspiration Station You are a human being not a human doer. Ramadan reminds us

of that. Every aspect of our lives has became hurried and instant. Give yourself a chance to slow down.

Taraweeh Tip! Before going to Taraweeh prayers perform stretches to let the blood flow through your body. It allows you to wake up and be more alert when performing your prayers.

sense of purpose. Your purpose is to please Allah swt and to reach Jannah. Will you strive to fulfill this?

sticks) or an air scent spray.

Avoid salty foods otherwise you will have a thirsty day.

Inspiration Station Ever since you were born you have been dying and at any point you could die. Have you emptied out your love for others in this

world? Don’t let love die inside you.

Taraweeh Tip! Invite someone who you know that does not regularly attend Taraweeh by giving them a call to show them your support. It will remind them that they are missing out in rewards.

Many people listen to music and watch haraam with their eyes and believe it to be acceptable as they do not see or feel the harm which they are inflicted with.

But does a human being who drinks alcohol realise the harm which he or she

is inflicting themself with?

Substitute the haraam in this world with the beauty of Allah to be successful in this life and the next InshAllah.



Deed of the day


11

Daily Hadith: Reported by Abu Hurraira (RA): Any person who will enter Paradise will resemble Adam (in appearance and figure). People have been decreasing in stature since Adam's creation.(Bukhari)

Taraweeh prayers by hoovering the mosque carpet or your own home. You will be rewarded iA.


Ñ Sehri

pains.

Inspiration Station Your prayers through the day and the night should be the coolness to your heart and your eyes. Life throws many

struggles at us, let your emotions travel through your prayers.

“Seek out the Night of Qadr in the last ten nights of Ramadan,” and: “Whoever prays in the Night

of Qadr out of faith and expectation of reward will have all of his past sins Forgiven.”

Laylat al-Qadr The odd nights are on the night of the 20th fast (21st night) , the 22nd fast (23rd night), the 24th fast (25th night), the 26th fast (27th night) and the 28th fast (29th night). Although through hadith a slight emphasis is placed on the 27th night. Laylat al-Qadr can be on any of these nights. Laylal al-Qadr is the night when the Holy Quran was revealed to mankind.

Allahumma innaka ‘afuwwun tuhibbul ‘afwa fa’fu ‘annee "O Allah! You are the Forgiver and You like forgiving so forgive me”

Allah's Messenger (pbuh) described the morning after Lailatul-Qadr, so that the Muslim may know which day it is. "On the morning following Laylatul-Qadr the sun rises not having any rays, as if it were a brass dish, until it rises up." [Muslim, Abu Dawud, Tirmithi and Ibn Majah]

May Allah swt reward you for your efforts PAGE

1. Make a master dua list – Ask for everything and anything you like. Ask your friends if they are in search or need of any help from Allah swt and do dua for them too. Make your list organised and categorise the things you want to ask under headings.

2. Understand the power – Take a moment and ponder over the power of this night. The angels descend down from the heavens, even the Angel Jibrail will also be one of those Angels that will descend on this night. The very one that brought the revelation of Islam into this world.

3. Overcome tiredness - If you work through the day you will find the odd nights tough as you need to pray up until Fajr with no rest. This is difficult but to sacrifice 5 nights in the year to gain 1000 months worth of rewards is a beneficial sacrifice to be made.

4. Worship with others – Do not pray on your own in your room try to pray with your family or better yet go to the local masjid whether you are a male or a female. The community gathering helps boost your spirit and imaan.

Laylat al-Qadr Tips Some short tips to help you praise Allah swt on the odd nights.
