Benefits of fasting.

Through fasting, a Muslim experiences hunger and thirst, and sympathizes with those in the world who have little to eat every day.

Through increased devotion, Muslims feel closer to their Creator, and recognize that everything we have in this life is a blessing from Him.

Through increased charity, Muslims develop feelings of generosity and good-will toward others. The Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) once said, "A man's wealth is never diminished by charity."

Through self-control, a Muslim practices good manners, good speech, and good habits.
Through changing routines, Muslims have a chance to establish more healthy lifestyle habits -- particularly with regards to diet and smoking.
Through family and community gatherings, Muslims strengthen the bonds of brotherhood and sisterhood, in their own communities and throughout the world.

An interesting article to share

As-Sirat Al-Mustaqeem: The Straight Path

Anas bin Malik (ra) narrates that he asked Allah’s Messenger ﷺ if he would intercede on his behalf on the Day of Judgement. “I will,” the Prophet ﷺ replied.

“So, where should I look for you on the Day of Judgement?” enquired Anas (ra).

“When you need me, first of all look for me at Sirat [the bridge],” said the Prophet ﷺ.

“And if I do not find you there?” asked Anas (ra).

“Look for me, then, at the Mizan [the Scales],” replied the Prophet ﷺ.

“Where may I seek you,” asked Anas (ra), “if you are not near the Mizan as well?”

“Then look for me at the Hawd [the Pond]. I will not go away from these three places at that time,” the Prophet ﷺ replied. (Tirmidhi)


Thus the first place to ask intercession from the Prophet ﷺ will be at the sirat. The sirat itself is a bridge over hell that one must pass to get to Paradise. It is described as a thin bridge – as thin as a hair – and is slippery. So how will we pass over it?

People pass over it according to their deeds: the first of them as fast as lighting, then as fast as wind, then as fast as birds, and then as fast as a running man. The Prophet ﷺ will be standing on the path saying “Lord, Save! Save!” as some people’s deeds will fall short. Some of them will come crawling. At both sides of the path there are hooks designed to take whom Allah wills: some are saved but bruised; others are thrown into Hell. (Bukhari and Muslim)

Ibn Al Qayyim stated that in this life, Allah has given us a straight path and has invited us all to it. Thus, whomever is guided to the straight path in this life, will make it over the straight path in the next life, insha’Allah. Our situation on the sirat, whether we fly over it or crawl, depends on our sticking to it on this life.

Can we see the importance of the du`a’ that we make in every prayer?

Ramadan hadith

– In this month, Allaah opens the gates of Paradise and closes the gates of Hell, and chains up the devils, as is stated in al-Saheehayn (al-Bukhaari, 1898; Muslim, 1079), from the hadeeth of Abu Hurayrah who said that the Messenger of Allaah (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said: “When Ramadaan comes, the gates of Paradise are opened and the gates of Hell are closed, and the devils are chained up.”


– Every night Allaah has people whom He redeems from the Fire. Imam Ahmad (5/256) narrated from the hadeeth of Abu Umaamah that the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said: “At every breaking of the fast, Allaah has people whom He redeems.” Al-Mundhiri said: there is nothing wrong with its isnaad; and it was classed as saheeh by al-Albaani in Saheeh al-Targheeb, 987.
Al-Bazzaar (Kashf 962) narrated that Abu Sa’eed said: The Messenger of Allaah (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said: “Allaah has people whom He redeems every day and night – i.e., in Ramadaan – and every Muslim every day and night has a prayer that is answered.”

Questions and answers on doubts during Ramadan

Sekiranya termasuk air
ke dalam telinga atau tertelan air ketika berkumur-kumur (sewaktu mengambil wuduk atau mandi) puasa tidak terbatal kerana ia dikira tidak sengaja. Sabda Rasulullah S.A.W yang bermaksud: “Sesungguhnya Allah mengampuni umatku yang tersilap, terlupa atau dipaksa melakukan sesuatu.” (Riwayat At-Tabarani)

Ada yang mengatakan berkumur-kumur dan memasukkan air ke dalam hidung menjejaskan puasa seseorang. Sejauh manakah kebenaran pendapat ini?

Berkumur-kumur dan memasukkan air ke dalam hidung ketika berwuduk
Bagi orang yang berpuasa pula, maka tidak boleh berkumur-kumur dan memasukkan air ke dalam hidung dengan berlebihan. Sekiranya seseorang berwuduk dengan tidak kelebihan dan air itu termasuk ke dalam kerongkong, maka puasanya tetap sah.

Namun, jika seseorang berkumur-kumur dengan berlebihan, ia boleh
menyebabkan air masuk ke dalam kerongkong, dan jika ini berlaku, maka puasanya batal.

Perkara-perkara yang membatalkan puasa

PERKARA-PERKARA YANG MEMBATALKAN PUASA .


Perkara-perkara yang membatalkan puasa adalah seperti berikut:

Memasukkan sesuatu benda ke dalam rongga badan yang terbuka dengan sengaja, kecuali kerana darurat yang berkaitan dengan kesakitan.

Makan, minum dan merokok membatalkan puasa. Adapun suntikan ubatan tidak membatalkan puasa.

-Muntah dengan sengaja .


-Mengeluarkan air mani .


-Melakukan jimak (hubungan seks) pada siang hari.


-Kedatangan haidh, nifas atau kelahiran bagi wanita .


-Menjadi gila .


-Pitam sepanjang hari .


-Mabuk (yang menghilangkan daya pemikiran waras) sepanjang hari.


-Murtad, iaitu keluar dari agama Islam.

Ramadan facts

The start of Ramadaan

Ramadaan is the name of the 9th month of the Islamic Calendar, coming after the month of Sha'baan and before the month of Shawaal. Ramadaan is very significant for Muslims because it is the month of obligatory fasting, which Muslims adhere to as an act of obedience to Allah.

"O you who believe! Fasting has been prescribed for you as it was prescribed for those before you, that you may become Al-Muttaqoon (the pious)."

(Qur'an - 2: 183)



When does Ramadaan begin?
Ramadaan begins when the new moon is sighted, as stated in the Qur'an:

"So whoever of you sights (the crescent on the first night of) the month (of Ramadaan), he must fast that month."

(Qur'an - 2: 185)

The Prophet (PBUH) said: "Fast when you see the new moon and break your fast when you see the new moon, and if you are not sure, then complete the number of Sha'baan as thirty days."

(Hadith - Bukhari)

Ramadan




Who knew the visitor that has been gone for almost a year, is coming to visit us tomorrow. And the best part is this visitor will be staying for a month. This very special visitor is non other than the holy month of Ramadan. Ahlan ya Ramadan!

Im so happy that it is finally ramadan. My aim this year is to utilise every free time i have, doing things that i do less in other months like, reading the quran.This year i want to try my very best to feel and understand the true spirit and meaning of ramadan.

Inshaallah i will try my best to post hadiths, videos and articles on Ramadan regularly for the next 29-30 days in my blog or Facebook.

Get your sejadah ready, tonight we perform our first Terawih prayers... =)
