Welcome Ramadan With Love

There is a hadith narrated by Abu Ya’la that our Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) said:

Were the servants to have known what is in Ramadan, my Ummah would have wished that Ramadan be the entire year.

In this hadith, our Prophet (peace be upon him) is teaching us something special about Ramadan, and that’s, there is a special outpour of the Divine Mercy in this blessed month.

Prophet Muhammad is teaching us the requisite ethic and etiquette that we should have in relation to the outpour of the Divine Mercy and the outpour of the Divine generosity. Naturally, this is something that should move us from within; this is something that we should desire.

We tend to forget that human beings have an absolute need for mercy. We are in need of receiving the Divine Mercy; we are in need of receiving the Divine generosity.

And if you notice here that the Prophet Muhammad that, “were servants to know…” and then he’s going to speak about his ummah; because Ramadan is a month of worship. It is a month that there is fasting but there is also standing, and there is a number of other forms of worship that we do in this special month.

Love Ramadan

So, were those who long for worship and they love worship to know what is really in this month; and everything that we can possibly imagine what would be in this month from the outpour of the Divine mercy and generosity. Even though that we never truly know, is that we would want Ramadan to remain with us the entire year.

This etiquette that Prophet Muhammad is teaching us is that we should protect ourselves from just wanting to go through the motions and quickly finish fasting so we can get back into our normal everyday life. Instead we should love Ramadan. It should take us to an ultimate opportunity for us to be able to resemble the angels and be able to do that which that if we remain upon it, we will meet our Lord in the best of states.

List of Times and Places Where Dua is Accepted

A short reminder regarding the recommended times of dua . And I think what you need to know here is that the recommended times of dua or recommended things that can cause your dua to be accepted, can be divided into two sort of large groups: Am I Good Enough to Make Dua for Myself? Situations where your dua is accepted. Times where your dua is accepted So I’m going to very briefly mention them one after the other as much as possible. As for situations where your dua has been accepted: – The person who has been wronged or oppressed . – A person who finds themselves in severe difficulty after a calamity has struck. – The person who is traveling. – Someone who is fasting. – The one who is reciting the Quran or has just recited the Quran – Someone who is performing Hajj or Umrah or jihad. – The one who is making dua for someone in their absence . Because we know that when you make dua for someone in his absence an angel says: “ Ameen and to you”. – A person...

Derechos de Las Mujeres en Islam

Durante el Tiempo del Profeta (la paz sea con él) Veamos cómo fueron tratadas las mujeres de todo el mundo durante la época del Profeta (la paz sea con él). En la Europa del siglo VIII, la religión principal era el catolicismo y durante este tiempo debatían si las mujeres tenían alma. Dijeron que las mujeres eran impuras y que no tenían derecho a la herencia. A las mujeres tampoco se les permitía tocar la Biblia. No era como ahora en el Islam, donde ellas no pueden tocar el Corán durante la menstruación, pero a las mujeres en la Europa del siglo VIII nunca se les permitió tocar la Biblia. En China e India, fueron quemadas vivas cuando murieron sus maridos. En Arabia Saudita practicaron infanticidio femenino en el que, si nacía una niña, la enterrarían viva. Si el marido de una mujer muere, un miembro de su familia se unirá a ella para demostrar que ahora es de su propiedad. Mujeres en el Islam Con el Islam llegó una nueva era para las mujeres. En el Islam, las mujeres tienen la...

Ghuraba (The Strangers): Nasheed with English Subtitles

Islam began as something strange, and it shall return to being something strange, so give glad tidings the strangers. (Sahih Muslim 145) This famous nasheed has many versions; this one is from Muhammad al-Salman and has the subtitles in English embedded. [We are] strangers and we do not bow the foreheads to anyone besides Allah  […] Transliteration to help in the pronounciation:  Ghurabaa’ wa li ghairillaahi laa nahnil jibaa Aisha Stacey  wrote in an article for Aboutislam.net : “I think that many of you would agree that being Muslim in the 21st century makes you well acquainted with being strange. It might even be a metaphor for random, as in you have been randomly selected. […] many converts to Islam will tell you about feeling as if they were strangers, before finding Islam. They will speak of feeling that they belonged somewhere else that their lives were just slightly off center. They often speak about a vague sense of knowing they were not like everyone else...
