Ramadan Mubarak! Ramadan Kareem! Welcome O Holy Month of Ramadan!



According to the Companion `Ubadah ibn al-Samit the Prophet (s) used to say upon entering this month:
Allahumma sallimnee li ramadana wa sallim ramadana wa sallimhu minnee mutaqabbilan.
"O Allah, greet and save me for Ramadan; greet and save Ramadan; greet and save Ramadan on my behalf, and grant me its acceptance." 

It was narrated from Abu Hurayrah that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: “Whoever prays at night in Ramadan out of faith and in the hope of reward, his previous sins will be forgiven.”

The Story of Prophet al-Yasa'

       Allah (SWT) has mentioned him along with other prophets in soorat al-An'am, saying: "And Isma'eel, and al-Yasa', and Yoonus and Loot, and each of them We preferred above the humankind and jinn." (Qur'an 6: 86) Allah, the Exalted, has further mentioned him in Soorat Sad: "And remember Isma'eel, al-Yasa', and Dhul-Kifl; all are among the best." (Qur'an 38: 48)     Muhammad ibn Is-haq has reported al-Hasan al-Basri as saying: al-Yasa' came after Ilyas. He stayed among his people for as long as Allah willed, inviting them to the way of Allah and following the Sharia revealed to Ilyas (as), until his death. Then, evil actions spread among the people, including transgression.

Reality of the Awrad (Spiritual Practices)

Grand Shaykh (Shaykh Abdullah al-Faiz ad-Daghestani, may Allah exalt his secret) said, " If someone reads Fatiha , he will not leave this world without attaining those Divine Favors that are hidden behind the meaning of the Fatiha which enable him to reach a state of submission to Allah, Almighty and Exalted. The blessings that Allah has sent down with the Fatiha when it was revealed to the Prophet (s) will never cease, and will last forever, with the one who recites the Fatiha. No one is able to know how much blessings there are except Allah and His Messenger (s). Whoever recites surat al-Fatiha, with the intention of sharing in these tajallis, will attain a high position and a great rank. And whoever recites without this intention, gets general Divine Favors only. This surah possesses innumerable and limitless stations (maqamat) in the Sight of Allah, Who is Powerful and Sublime. He will enter the Circle of Security in the Presence of Allah Almighty and Exalted, and he will r
