Ramadan
Amid a lockdown and in preparation for the great day of Eid ul Fitr 2020, Imam Inayatullah outlines the basics of Eid Salah at home.
The virtues of Qiyamul Layl are many, during the lifetime of Prophet (pbuh), he was known to stand for many nights in prayer, so much so that his feet would swell. And Allah (swt) says, 'Only those people believe in Our verses who, when they are reminded of them, fall in prostration and pronounce the purity and praise of their Lord, and they are not arrogant.
Ramadan, this exalted of months will grace our lives once again, will we be raising the bar and are we prepared to capatalise on its splendid rewards?
Farewell to the month of worship, good manners, kindness, generosity, mercy and discipline. Ramadan to us was nothing but a school and a teacher. We all attended this school whether we wanted to or not. Some of us achieved great marks, some accomplished average marks, and some, and Allah is the source of all strength and mercy, attained failing marks. A reminder by Ustad Dr Kemal Helbawy
The Prophet (pbuh) said that, Fasting is a sheild with which a servant protects himself from the Fire. Ustadh Bilal Ismail an instructor with Al-Kauthar Institute and graduate of Shar'ia, takes us back to times gone by, for a glimpse of how Muslims used to prepare for and observe this holy month.
Ustadh Abdul Sattar Ebrahim explains the significance, reward and methods of preparing for this glorified period in accordance with the guidance of the Prophet and example of the Sahabah.
'O you who believe! Fasting is prescribed for you as it was prescribed for those before you, that perhaps you may attain God Consciousness.' (Al Quran 2:183) This month is a month of connection, correction and direction.
