A Plan for the First 10 Days of Dhul-Hijah

The Best Days of the World

1. Intention

Make the intention for your deeds to be sincerely for Allah ﷻ during these days, and have the conscious intention to expose yourself to the blessings of Allah ﷻ.

Whoever is sincere towards Allah ﷻ, Allah ﷻ will be sincere towards him (meaning He ﷻ will fulfill his wishes).

2. Repentance

Make a table of all the sins that you want to pledge to Allah ﷻ that you will stop doing them.

The Conditions of Repentance:

1. Abandoning the sin completely.

2. Feeling remorse for what has already happened (of sins).

3. Having the firm intention never to return to the sin ever again.

3. Praying

The Five Daily Prayers (in their Fixed Times)

Leave everything behind you as soon as you hear the azaan and get up and pray.

"The best of deeds is prayer during its earliest time."

Remember, you will be doing what our Lord ﷻ loves the most.

4. As-Sunan Ar-Rawaatib

12 Raka'ahs everyday.

(2 before Fajr -4 before Zuhr and 2 after it - 2 after Maghrib-2 after Isha)

"Whoever prays in a day and night 12 raka'ahs voluntarily, Allah ﷻ will build a house for him in Paradise."

Imagine🤍🙏🏻

5. Night Prayer

Any even number of rakaahs, and end them with one rakaah of Witr and make du'a for everything you want.

"And pray during the night when the people are asleep, and you will enter Jannah in peace."

What more could you want?!

6. Duha Prayer

Two to eight raka'ahs, any time between 15 minutes after sunrise till 15 minutes before Zuhr.

It is a daily charity for every joint in your body.

(Also known as Chaast or Awwabeen Prayer.)

7. Fasting

Have the intention to fast the first 9 days of Dhul-Hijjah, as the Messenger ﷺ of Allah ﷻ used to do, especially the Day of 'Arafah.

"Fasting the Day of 'Arafah, l anticipate that Allah ﷻ will expiate (through it the sins of) the year before it and the year after it."

8. Quran

Our goal is to finish reciting the whole Qur'an at least once (during these 10 days):

Day 1 - From Surat Al-Fatihah till the end of Surat Ale 'Imraan.

Day 2 - From Surat An-Nisa till the end of Surat Al-An'aam.

Day 3 - From Surat Al-A'raaf till the end of Surat At-Tawbah.

Day 4 - From Surat Yunus till the end of Surat Ar-Ra'd.

Day 5 - From Surat Ibraheer til the end of Surat Al-Kahf.

Day 6 - From Surat Marlam till the end of Surat Al-Mu'minoon.

Day 7 - From Surat Ash-Shu'araah till the end of Surat Al-Ahzaab.

Day 8 - From Surat Saba till the end of Surat Fussilat.

Day 9 - From Surat Ash-Shura till the end of Surat Al-Hadeed.

Day 10 - From Surat Al-Mujadilah til the end of Surat An-Naas,

9. Zikr

(Remembrance of Allah ﷻ)

Let your tongue be busy with:

100 times at the very least

‏سبحان الله

‏الحمد لله

‏لا اله الا الله

‏الله اكبر

‏لا حول ولا قوة الا بالله

‏الصلاة على الرسول ﷺ

‏استغفر الله العظيم وأتوب إليه

وَاذْكُرُوا اللَّهَ فِي أَيَّامٍ مَّعْدُودَاتٍ ‏

“and mention the name of Allah ﷻ on known days” (al-baqara: 203)

10. Azkaar

(Let these Azkaar also be a part of your day)

1. The azkaar of the morning and the evening.

2. The azkaar after every prayer.

3. Repeating the azaan and the du'a after it.

4. The azkaar before sleeping.

Write down some examples of these azkaar on paper and stick/hang them up where you usually walk.

(meaning where you'd see them a lot, just to be reminded of them as much as possible).

11. Du'a (Supplication)

Write down every single thing you've ever wanted and keep supplicating to Allah ﷻ again and again for it everyday (especially in Sujood, between the azaan and the iqamah, and during the last one-third of the night).

And persist in making even more du'a on the Day of 'Arafah.

And watch all your wishes come true after a while in sha Allah ﷻ.

12. Supplicating for Others

Assign a portion of your du' a for at least a hundred people. Choose ten people everyday from your family, spouse, friends, teachers, and anyone who has ever benefited you in any way, and make alot of dua for them, from your heart.

And make du'a for all the Muslims:

"May Allah ﷻ forgive me and my parents and the believing men and the believing women and the muslim men and the muslim women, alive and deceased"

13. Charity

Do not let a single day go by without giving out some charity, even if it is just a small amount.

Think of ten needy people that you want to help, or put a little money in a cash box everyday and take out and give away the whole amount on the last day.

14. Maintain the Ties of Kinship

Give a call or leave a message everyday to one of your extended family members.

The message can be as follows:

"How are you t/n? l hope you are well. I just wanted to let you know that l am remembering you a lot in my du'as today.”

15. Reviving a Sunnah of the Prophet ﷺ

Aim to do a Sunnah act everyday, with the intention of reviving the Sunnah of the Prophet ﷺ

For example:

- Saying Bismillah (before starting anything).

-Sitting down while drinking.

Starting with the right hand or right side (when doing certain things).

- Reciting the opening supplication (in the prayer before reciting Surat Al-Fatihah).

- Performing Wudu before going to sleep.

- Reciting the prescribed dua after making Wudu.

16. Prohibitions

Beware of wasting the best days of the world and the greatest days of worship in:

Watching TV

Social Media

Backbiting

useless talk

Sleeping too much

Perhaps you may never get these days again.

may Allah ﷻ accept from us all, ameen 🤍

When I started practicing Islam, which was around 12 years ago alhamdulillah, my parents were such a huge obstacle in the way of trying to adhere to deen. I wasn't allowed to wear proper hijab, was sort of grounded, not allowed to read or listen to anything - even books of tafsir and hadith, not allowed to be with my other practicing friends, forced to drop out of arabic and other courses, etc etc. Home didn't feel like home but a battleground, on a daily basis.

Fast forward to present day; my family and I have dinner table discussions on matters of tawheed, my parents are the ones who facilitated my learning arabic and becoming an arabic teacher bi fadlillah (omg????), they've finished Shaykh Ahmad's tawheed series and loved it and are further learning tawheed and other aspects of deen, my mother finished tafseer ibn kathir twice already; may Allah bestow His endless blessings and mercy upon them and grant them the highest stations in Firdaws, ameen.

Thinking about how things had started and where they are now, wallahi makes me so overwhelmingly emotional. It fills my heart with so much warmth and joy that sometimes it feels like I can't contain it anymore. Allahu Akbar wa Lillahil hamd. No matter how many hundreds of sujud ash-shukr I give, it will never be enough to express my gratitude to Allah عز وجل.

Speaking from personal experience here, when it comes to giving dawah to our families, we really need to step up. They are the first we give up on, when they should be the ones we hold on to the most. Our parents are the most deserving of our time and patience and dawah, wallahi. I know the situation isn't the same for everyone, but honestly, how much do we make dua for the guidance of our families? Do we pray for them in every salah, in every sujud? Do we ardently make du'a for their hidayah every chance we get? Do we follow up our duas with constant dawah in a respectful manner and soft approach with patience and persistence? Do they see the best of us or the worst of us? Or do we just try once and then complain for the rest of our lives without giving due efforts?

Guidance is completely in the Hands of Allah, but wallahi our duas will never go to waste and we will see their impact whether tomorrow or 10 years later. It took my family 5 years to accept my dawah, it was a very gradual process but to witness their gradual change to better and better, from stubborn to being understanding, is so rewarding wallahi. To see them become even better than you, is the best feeling in the world. And it takes a lot of time and effort to come to that point.

When giving dawah to our families, we must be patient, be consistent, be persistent, be respectful, have good manners, be smart in our approach, and make lots and lots of du'a. We should priorities our families when giving dawah, because what's the point if the whole world benefits from us while we neglect our own homes?

These are the best days of the year, let us utilise them in making du'a for our families in sha Allah. May Allah guide us all and be pleased with us, ameen.

Let's find out.

Almost every youth these days will swear and tell "I would do anything for my mum" - and they do this a lot that the phrase itself lost its value.

However, the question lingers - would you? It's easy to say things but when you are put in such a situation - that's when reality hits you. The story you are about to read is one of the most inspiring stories I have come across while studying and learning about the Sahabah Radiyallahu Anhum.

I pray this story would encourage you to reconnect with your mother. Please do realize, there are a lot like us out there who will never have that opportunity again. So don't take this opportunity you have for granted. _____

This is a story about Abu Hurairah Radiyallahu Anhu and his mother (Umayma Bint Safeh) Radiyallahu Anha.

It is said that after Abu Huraira's mother entered Islam, whenever he would want to leave his house, he used to stand at the door of his mother's door and say: "Peace be upon you, O mother, and the mercy of Allah and His blessings. "

His mother would then say: "And peace be upon you, and His Mercy and His Blessings,"

Abu Huraira would reply: "May Allah have mercy upon you as you brought me up when I was small."

She would reply: "May Allah have mercy upon you as you are dutiful to me as I am old." _____

Let that sink in.

Imagine, every day of your life when you are about to go out of the house - your mother will be there at your back either to just see you go safely, remind you of something or ask you for something - whatever it is, we will find them there.

And sadly, most of the time - a lot of us find this irritating especially when we are at that age where we would rather hang out with friends than with our own family.

But, look at our the sahabah were, and just see how Abu Huraira manifested this way of respect and love a child should show towards his or her mother.

Would you do this?

Would you say this beautiful prayer before leaving your mother or just stomp your feet because she nagged you as you went out?

My dear brother and sister in Islam, no one can ever replace your mother in your life. No one can sacrifice the way they do and do for you. No one can truly love you unconditionally the way they do.

Make du'a for your mother. Make du'a for your mother. Make du'a for your mother. There's no weakness in showing affection towards your mother rather only a great reward from Allah.

Cherish every minute you have with your mother as much as you can, do not wait until they return to Allah and regret every wasted moment and missed opportunity with her.

You can also try this beautiful way of Abu Huraira Radiyallahu Anhu. Believe me, the way your mother's face will light up as soon as she sees you smile at her - that itself is a great blessing and all worth it. - Umm Umar Khaled _____

May Allah beautify our relationship with our mothers and grant all the mothers of the Muslims the highest ranks of Jannah.

The story was taken from Al-Adab al-Mufrad, Hadith 12

Sometimes, our hearts are so full of emotions that it becomes difficult to articulate them. It's like our feelings have a mind of their own, but our words fail to capture their intensity. If you cannot donate the money the best you can do for Palestine is to pray. Please make lots of sincere du'as

Prophet ﷺ said: “Know that Allah does not answer a du'a from an inattentive heart.” [At-Tirmidhi #3479]

رَبَّنَآ أَفْرِغْ عَلَيْهِم صَبْراً وَثَبِّتْ أَقْدَامَهُم وَٱنصُرْهُم عَلَى ٱلْقَوْمِ ٱلْكَـٰفِرِينَ

Rabbana afrigh ‘alayhim sabran wa thabbit aqdaamahum wansurhum ‘ala al-qawm al-kafireen

Our Lord! Shower them with perseverance, make their steps firm, and give them victory over the disbelieving people.

Inspired by verse 250 of Surah al-Baqarah, this du'a reminds us that Allah is always with us, penetrating our hearts with firmness and tranquility.

#tumblr #i stand with palestine #palestine #stop genocide #free palestine #death to israel #death to america #stop killing children #stop killing civilians #stop war #children of palestine #save palestine #from the river to the sea palestine will be free #فلسطين 🇵🇸#freepalastine🇵🇸

🌟 ❛And whoever places their reliance on Allah, then He will be sufficient for him. Allah certainly makes His commands a reality. Allah has set a measure for everything.❜ [Surah at-Talaq 65 : 03]

Imam Ibn al-Qayyim rahimahullah said: ❛When Allah mentioned that He will take care of those who place their reliance on Him, perhaps someone would incorrectly understand it to mean that Allah will take care of him as soon as he places his reliance on Him, so Allah followed up that phrase by saying:

"Allah has set a measure for everything"

Allah will take a thing on its path until it reaches the end time that He set for it.

So the person who places his reliance on Allah should not be impatient and say: "I have placed my reliance on Allah and made du'a to Him, but I haven't seen anything change, and I haven't found myself being taken care of!" for Allah certainly makes His command a reality at the time that He has set for it to happen.❜ [I'lam al-Mawqi'een 5/10-11 | Translated by Tulayhah Blog]

Such an important reminder. Because a lot of times, after putting in so much effort and making numerous supplications, and we see that our situation has not changed, we tend to feel discouraged, lose hope, and give up.

But rather, Allah will give at a time that He Himself sets for it to happen — at the right time. He Himself knows what is best and when is best for us. In whichever way Allah chooses to answer, know that it *is* best for us. And this is part of expecting well from Allah.

As the day of Arafah has begun, I wanted to specially make this du'a for you.

May Allah سُبْحَانَهُ وَتَعَالَى record your name amongst those who will be forgiven. Ameen

May Allah سُبْحَانَهُ وَتَعَالَى accept all your Du'as and widen your Rizq with lots of Barakah. Ameen

May Allah سُبْحَانَهُ وَتَعَالَى grant you the strength to fulfil your obligations to the best of your ability and confirm your entry into the highest rank in JANNAH by HIS Mercy. Ameen

May Allah سُبْحَانَهُ وَتَعَالَى remove all your difficulties and ease all your tasks. Ameen

May Allah سُبْحَانَهُ وَتَعَالَى answer from HIS infinite mercy, all that you need and ask for, from the dreams of your heart to the prayers on your lips, to every expectation and aspiration you have that He is pleased with. Ameen

May Allah سُبْحَانَهُ وَتَعَالَى protect and guide you; and keep you safe from all calamities and save you from the punishment of the grave and the Hellfire. Ameen

May Allah سُبْحَانَهُ وَتَعَالَى grant you success and elevate your status in this world and the Hereafter. Ameen

Dear Happy,

I wish I could tell you this but I write here instead and send my prayers for you directly to Allah Insha'Allah. Because I have no courage to bother you.

Dear Happy,

I think every time about what was my mistake that makes this happen.

I think every time what went wrong with us.

Trying to denial, hate you for what happened, and finally came with the acceptance.

Happy, I still don't know the reason. I won't demand to know if you don't want to share, or hopefully someday you can share when you're ready

Happy, I really hope you are right. I really hope you're healthy, physically & mentally.

I feel you still have a lot in your heart, you still have a lot of problem you are carry on by yourself.

I just can feel it. And thinking about it, makes me sad, really sad. Just thinking about how struggling you are with whatever you are facing right now that makes you like this gave me fully tears and I feel my chest full and hard to breath.

Something that makes me more sad is I clearly remember that you don't like to share your problem and better to keep it for yourself, makes me more sad is I can't help you anything, even I can't help you to distract your problem especially when you decided to put a distance with me.

I really wish I could be near you and hug you tight, hear you crying until you feel relieved, or maybe I'm the one who crying heheh. But I really want to hug you.

Happy, please be strong!!

Happy, according to your name, my pray to you is you always be happy.

Happy, I hope you can find a friend at least to company you during your darkest time.

I can only send you my pray, I will put an additional du'a for you when I finish sholat, hopefully you can find a solution on problem you are facing right now.

Dear Happy,

I still have a faith on you, at least as my friend if you don't see me as a woman. I trust your capability and your patience to solve any kind of problems you have.

Like I said before, I will never let you go as a friend.

For now, I just give you a space. Until you are ready. Until you allow me to be your friend again.

It's not the end yet, it's not a goodbye yet ..............

Happy I miss you, but I can wait, I will wait.

Happy, Good luck!!

Happy, be strong!!

Happy jangan nyerah yaaa!

Happy jangan putus asa yaah

Happy don't lose hope yaah!

Insha Allah, Allah bantu masalah Happy. Aamiin Yaa Rabbal Alamin

7 tips in getting closer to Allah SWT

read the Qur'an everyday reading the word of Allah and understanding what you are reading will make you feel close to Him as you know that this is not a Book that anyone has just written - it has come directly from Allah SWT. subhanallah. reading and understanding what He says will make you want to practise what the Qur'an says and, in turn, be closer to Him.

be around people who remember Allah human beings have great influence on each other so it is important to have righteous people around you. their relationship with Allah SWT will inspire you to build and improve yours.

understand what you recite in salah knowing what you are reciting will help you understand how many blessings you are gaining with just a single prayer. take time to learn the translation (if you do not speak/understand arabic) of what you are reciting and why.

learn Allah's 99 names and attributes 'And to Allah alone belong all perfect attributes; so call on Him by these' (7:181) Allah likes it when we call Him by his names and it is important to recognise and understand Him. think of Him as your friend: when you get to know someone better, you get closer to them. it is the same thing, in fact, better, with Allah SWT.

have secret good deeds between you and Allah again, like having a friend, having something that is just between you and your Lord will make you feel closer to Him.

make lots of du'a - especially in sujood having your dua's come true is the best feeling, especially when you have been praying for something for a long time, alhamdulillah. praying for anything, no matter how big or small, will make you feel closer to Him as you know that He alone will make everything okay and knows what is best for you.

remember death and prepare for it this one can be very hard but it is important to remember that death can come at anytime so always try and do good deeds and live righteously in order to please Allah. when having this mindset that each day is a new chance to seek forgiveness and do good deeds, you will feel closer to Him by wanting Him to be happy with you.

Assalamu alaykum, should one just make du'a to get married or make du'a while actually looking for one? I hear people say different things

Wa alaykum assalam.

The best thing to do is to leave people's opinions and go back to the Quran and Sunnah.

Anas ibn Malik reported: A man said, “O Messenger of Allah, should I tie my camel and trust in Allah, or should I leave her untied and trust in Allah?” The Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, said, “Tie her and trust in Allah.” - Sunan al-Tirmidhī 2517

Put in the effort to actively look for a spouse and whilst doing that, make a lot of dua. Tie your camel and leave the rest to Allah.

Ruqyah Rundown

What follows is a brief rundown of what I know can constitute protection from afflictions of the unseen. This is by no means a comprehensive list, but I'll provide resources for additional learning at the end, inshallah.

Rectifying Your Deen

This is the most important one, and the one that people are most quick to dismiss, unfortunately. It doesn't matter how much recitation you're doing, how much extra prayers you're praying, etc. if you don't even understand what Tawheed is (all 3 categories). If your aqeedah isn't correct, you're leaving yourself wide open. What we know and believe about Allah is essential.

Here's a great place to start, bithnillah.

Tied in with this is the critical component of praying all your fardh prayers. This cannot be stressed enough. If you are someone who is not praying all your five daily prayers, on time, in the appropriate way, fulfilling all the necessary conditions—then you need to stop reading immediately and make that the focus of your life. Nothing you ever do will be more important than that.

Ruqyah

Contrary to popular belief, ruqyah (loosely translated to Qur'anic healing) is not just for afflictions of the unseen, such as evil eye, magic and jinns. However, for these issues, we have literally no other alternatives.

Importantly, there is no ruqyah superior to what came to us from the Qur'an and authentic Sunnah. This is a point that Shaykh Muhammad Tim Humble stresses a lot, as well. So let your ruqyah start with, at the very least:

al-Fatiha

al-Falaq

al-Nas

al-Baqara (for magic)

NOTE: Differentiating between and diagnosing which of the unseen ailments you're suffering from is largely irrelevant, especially early on. The treatment will remain the same basically across the board.

Who Should Perform Ruqyah?

The BEST ruqyah is the one you perform upon yourself. You DO NOT need an "expert" or an "imam" or a "white magician" (pro tip: there's no such thing; all magic is haram). There are more hucksters and charlatans in this field than maybe any other, and they're only interested in separating you from your money.

Adhkar

These are the armor of the Muslim against the Shaiyateen.

I've linked you to images for the du'as and dhikrs because this is how I learned them. I saved these to my phone in an album called "Memorization." Then, whenever I had to recite them, I'd pull out my phone and go through them. It may look daunting but it really isn't because many of these you may know already, such as Surahs Ikhlas, Falaq and Nas. These and Ayat-ul-Kursi— make every effort to incorporate daily.

Here is what I do:

Morning

Pray for Jannah and protection from the Hellfire x3

Sayyid ul-Istighfar

Glorify Allah x3

Recite Ayat ul-Kursi

Recite Surah al-Ikhlas x3

Recite Surah al-Falaq x3

Recite Surah an-Nas x3

Evening

after sunset, before or after Maghrib

Sayyid ul-Istighfar

Recite Ayat ul-Kursi

Recite Surah al-Ikhlas x3

Recite Surah al-Falaq x3

Recite Surah an-Nas x3

After Salah

immediately after every Fardh prayer only

Say "Astaghfirullah" x3

Praise Allah

Recite Ayat ul-Kursi

Recite Surah al-Ikhlas, Surah al-Falaq, and Surah an-Nas

Recite "Subhanallah, Alhamdulillah, Allahu akbar" 33x (you can also do each just 10 times)

Situational

Learn the du'as for specific situations, in particular the du'a before entering the bathroom, as bathrooms and other such filthy places are where the Shaiyateen can often be found, and a person is vulnerable therein because you cannot make dhikr and your awrah is exposed.

Try to avoid being out at sunset, if you can, as that's when the Shaiyateen are typically out. It's not haram to be out and about, but it's preferred not to be, especially for small children who may be more vulnerable.

When you close a door (to a room, house, etc.), say, "Bismillah" as the shaiyateen cannot open a door that has been shut with "Bismillah." Even better if it has a lock, but if it doesn't, khair inshallah.

You should also say "Bismillah" upon entering your house, as well as give salaams, even if no one else is home.

Precautions

There are many things we do, which we may not realize is basically unraveling all the work we did with the above. These are serious issues. Does any one of us put on fresh, clean clothes and then go out to roll around in mud and filth? Of course not! But that is essentially what we're doing when we pray, do dhikr, recite and do ruqyah but then turn around and engage in the following:

Music

The scholars have called music the adhan of Shaiytaan!. Listening to music is essentially inviting the shaiyateen into your home and heart. Ibn al-Qayyim wrote a whole book on The Evils of Music.

Another warning from our illustrious scholars: music and the Qur'an cannot reside within the same heart; one must necessarily push the other out. Which one do we prefer to die with?

Social Media

Delete delete delete. What benefit has there ever been from this cancer? For women, especially, either you'll take an axe to your own self esteem from seeing beautiful women (all filtered and make-upped), or you'll be enticed to do the same and post yourself up. Not only is this tabarruj (wanton and impermissible display of one's beauty), but you are inviting the envy, jealousy and rancor of strangers you don't even know.

If it's not your own visage, then it's the things you own, the car you drive, the house you live in, the great marriage you've been blessed with, etc. Not even remotely worth getting evil eye over.

Do your psychological and spiritual health a favor and get off of social media, especially visually-based ones like Instagram, TikTok, etc.

Related to this is that you should be extremely careful of who you share details of your life with, especially the good things that you're blessed with. Unfortunately, even family members can give the evil eye, so just be very, very cautious in this respect.

What was in mind throughout Ramadan

Reading Kak Hajar's writing about her experience throughout last Ramadan, I can't help but to compare with mine. Obviously it was a mix of everything for me, but i had and still have the perception that my life may be a lot more serious & the sense of responsibility i will carry will knock more sense to me once i step into the typical next stage of life; marriage.

So marriage was the longest du'a i recited.

But i arranged my du'a according to priority. I realize that to deserve the burden of marriage—yes even burden demands worthiness from us, just like only His chosen servants deserved the burden of prophethood—demands me to be prepared. Demands me to at least be firm, whole & solid within my own self for the half of the equation, so that the other half which is marriage would be smoother to be carried out once it's here. So that 1+1 will equal to khayr & barakah.

When Kak Hajar wrote, "what makes us think we can change ourselves for the next 40 years when we cant do that for the past 40",

It resonates with my own Ramadan experience & reflection, and i asked myself,

"What makes you think marriage would make you take yourself, your life & responsibilities more seriously if you don't do that being single?"

Hence perhaps why many failed marriages. Bcs we expect marriage to be the blue pill that serves us when most of the time it is the red pill that will knock us to the reality of our own self first and foremost.

Hence, mirror. Having a spouse to create a life with is like having a mirror to our face constantly & we're forced to see our reflection; both good & bad. Some people who step into it with the right idea & intention would be prepared to face themselves & then to transform; but it could only be done when we're already used to facing ourselves alone before the marriage.

Those who are not used to it may be knocked harder & some are not willing to face their reflections, so they bail out. It takes both willing souls to face their own, yet together. If it's just one, it will remain unsuccessful, even if they stay legally under the same roof, the essence of it is lost.

Allah memang akan demand kita untuk penuhi tanggungjawab, tujuan & potensi penciptaan diri & hidup kita; sama ada kita mahu atau tidak. Taat willingly atau terpaksa; untuk berjaya, kita memang kena hadapi. Just like ujian dalam kesendirian yang akan memaksa kita tundukkan diri, begitu juga pernikahan. Apatah lagi untuk melengkapkan sebahagian agama yang seterusnya.

May Allah guide me. May Allah guide my spouse. May Allah guide us together in separation so that we will continue to be guided once we're united, and we will be successful together in this dunya & akhirah.

Susah. Dah set dah dalam kepala. But maybe two is really better than one.

For my sisters 🌺 Here are some helpful ideas of GOOD DEEDS you could do when you're on your menses in Ramadhan:

❥ Make lots of Istighfaar and Dhikr 📿

This can be done when you are cooking, cleaning, going to work, going to the shop, in your free time etc.

Allāh سُبْحَانَهُ وَتَعَالَى‎ says: “O you who have believed, remember Allāh with much remembrance.” [Surat Al-Ahzab: 33:41].

❥ Gain and increase in your islamic knowledge 📚

This could be done by watching Islamic lectures/podcasts, reading beneficial islamic books, reading and studying tafseer & fiqh, and participating/attending in sisters circles of knowledge.

❥ Increase in charity

Remember sisters, even a smile is charity

❥ Good deeds by helping others

Help around the house by cleaning, shopping, preparing the iftar meals for your family members etc, especially when your family are too tired and hungry to do anything.

❥ Listen to Qur'an Recitations

Listening to the Qur’an would enable you to prefect your recitation of the Qur’an, help you revise what you memorized, and constantly remembering Allāh in your heart and mind.

❥ Make lots of Du'as to Allah

Being in that state of ritual impurity should not prevent you from making Du’a.

It is reported from An-Nu’man bin Bashir رضي الله عنه reported the Prophet ﷺ said: “Du’a is worship.” [Abu Dawud]

Make frequent Du'as for yourself (for both dunya and hereafter matters), your family and loved ones, and for the Ummah 🤍

❥ Give Da'wah to Muslims and Non-Muslims

This can be by sharing beneficial Islamic reminders through social media, and importantly being a good example through your manners, speech and actions.

Allah says: “And who is better in speech than one who invites to Allah and does righteousness and says, “Indeed, I am of the Muslims.” [Surah Fussilat: 41:33].

And the Prophet ﷺ said: “Convey from me even if it is (only) one ayah (verse).” [Sahih al-Bukhari].

In conclusion, let’s renew our intentions and make sure we are doing all these good deeds sincerely for Allah’s sake and following the footsteps of our beloved Prophet Muhammad ﷺ and his companions (May Allah be pleased with them all).

I hope this helps all my sisters إن شاء الله 💕
