Ramadan Day 11

“A Book We have sent down to you so that you may bring forth mankind from the darkness into the light.” (Qur’an 14:1)

﷽ 

Ramadan Day 11: Parents are Responsible for Teaching Their Children.

A gentle reminder to those of you going shopping in Ramadan or night bazaars for food.

If you have children that you bring with them I want you to give your children some notes (some money)

When you see people who are in need and they are obviously destitute encourage your children to give them the money.

This insh’Allah can teach the children several important points.

1) Not to be selfish.
2) To think of others.
3) To earn the reward of giving in Ramadan.
4) That they are part of a human family in which the poor and the destitute have rights over those whom Allah’ has favoured with more wealth
or abundance.

*Heart health contentment and love with Allah*
Factors that contribute to the servant’s love to his lord:
Knowing Allah: and this can be achieved by contemplating his creation.
Benevolence: humans by nature love those who are good to them, so knowing the blessings of Allah upon us, will increase our love for him.

True love of Allah will appear after:
Cutting attachment to the world and the love of other than Allah
Avoiding sins
Constantly and zealous remembrance of Allah
Finding joy and pleasure being in seclusion to pray to Allah and recite his book
Enjoying worship and not making it a burden
Sitting with people who love Allah and picking the fruits of their speech.

*Sirat and reckoning* (The so called bridge over hellfire)
Sirat (path) is not a bridge on top of hell as many claimed, Allah informs us to pray:

“Guide us to the straight path.” (Qur’an 1:6)

This path is the religion of Allah, and whatever is mentioned in some narrations that Sirat is a thin bridge and people contrast in crossing it is all a metaphor about the religion

See the Hadith (Ibn Mas’ud reported God’s messenger as saying, “God has propounded as a parable a straight path on the sides of which are walls with open doors over which curtains are hanging down. At the top of the path there is one who calls, ‘Go straight on the path and do not follow an irregular course.’ Above that one is another who calls out as often as anyone tries to open any of those doors, ‘Woe to you! do not open it, for if you open it you will go through it.’” He then interpreted it telling that the path is Islam, the open doors are the things God has forbidden, the curtains hanging down are the limits God has set, the crier at the top of the path is the Qur’an, and the one above him is God’s monitor in every believer’s heart.)

Ibn Katheer mentioned some chains of narrations and said: the chain is good and authentic, also with Tirmithi, Ahmed, Al Hakem, Nisa’i, Ibn Jareer, Ibn Al Munthir, Abi Shaykh, Ibn Mardaweih, and Baihaqi in “Shu’ab Al Iman”

I mentioned the authenticity just because Albani says there is no basis to the Hadith which is wrong, and the information is from commentary to (The poem ‘Ghayat Al Murad’ by Imam Noor Ad-Deen Assalemi May Allah have mercy on him by Shaykh Ahmed Al Khalili (h)

We also believe that reckoning is not counting like the counting of humans, but counting is Showing the deeds good and evil to people in the day of judgment.

To read more on this please see:

*Wet dreams when fasting*
Firstly we should make it clear that consciously masturbating breaks the fast and obligates a heavy atonement which is to fast two months.

But in the case if someone woke up to wet dreams, then they would have to hasten to perform Ghusl and nothing is on him. Meaning the person does not make up any days of fasting. The pen is lifted from one while in the state of dreaming.

Heart Soothing Tarwih prayer in Ramadan.

May Allah (swt) Guide the Ummah.

May Allah (swt) Forgive the Ummah!
