Twenty Five Days of Ramadan

Alhamdullillah! Today, I receive the Holy Quran from my sister in Kuwait, Thank you sister Sarah for your effort in sending the Holy Quran (with translation), I'm happy and honored by your effort, especially in remembering me with your prayer, may Allah grant, and reward you in this life as well in the hereafter, Insha Allah!  Ameen.

I would like to share about the good deed we did here on earth. How Allah (SWT) rewarded to each and everyone, my dear brother and sister you can give any comment or share some of your knowledge in Islam. This is what I recall, while I'm a student in IPC, Kuwait, Alhamdullillah! I'll try to remember, whatever I could share especially to non Muslim. 

Each in everyone of us has two angels who accompany and recorded our deeds. One of them stays on the right side and he records only good deed. The other stays on the left side and he records evil deeds.

The generous one: He records good deeds, and is so named because each good deed is rewarded ten times over or even more. 
" But verily over you (Are appointed angels) to protect you, kind and honorable writing down (your deeds):  they know (and understand) all that you do"
Surah Al-Infitar, 82:10-12

These angels record our deeds, words, and thoughts. Allah says regarding mankind:
Not a word does he utter but there is a sentinel by him, ready (to note it).
Surah Qaf, 50:18

The system of recording of deeds is detailed in the Hadith Qudsi, narrated by' Abdullah Ibn 'Abbas in which the Messenger of Allah (SAW) said, regarding that which he narrates from his Lord.

" Indeed, Allah has defined the good and the evil deeds, and then explained them. So, whoever had the thought to do good deed, but did not do it. Allah writes it for him as a complete good deed, while if actually did it, Allah writes it for him as ten good deeds, or up to seven hundred fold, or even many times more. And, if he had the thought to do an evil deed, but dispelled the thought and did not do it, Allah writes it for him as a complete good deed, while if he entertained the thought and acted on it. Allah writes it as a single evil deed"
Related by Al-Bukhari, and Muslim.

The records of evil deeds: He is simply called the recorded, because each evil deed count as only one act.

Twenty Four Days of Ramadan



Alhamdullillah! We are almost there, I want to share, about the creation of man, our origin. 
When Allah created Adam. 
He said to the angels: Surely, I am going to create a mortal (Bashar) from dry clay: "When I have fashioned him (in due proportion)' and breathed into him of My spirit, fall ye down in obeisance unto him."
Surah Saad, 38:71-72

It is We Who created you and gave you shape; then We bade the angels bow down; not so Iblis, he refusesd to be those who bow down.
Allah said: "What prevented thee from bowing down When I commanded thee?" 
The Iblis (devil) said: "I am better than he: Thou didst create me from fire and him from clay."
Allah said: "Get thee down from this: it is not for thee to be arrogant, here get out, for thou art of the meanest (of creatures)."
The Iblis (devil) said: "Give me respite till the day they are raise up."
Allah said: "Be thou among those who have respite."
The Iblis said: "Because thou hast thrown me out of the Way, lo! I will lie in wait for them on Thy Straight Way: Then will I assault them from before them and behind them from their right and their left: nor wilt Thou find, in most of them, gratitude (for Thy mercies)."
Allah said: "Get out from this, disgraced and expelled, If any of them follow thee, - Hell will I fill with you all."
O Adam! dwell thou and thy wife in the Garden, and enjoy (its good things) as ye wish: but approach not this tree, or ye run into harm and transgression."
Then began Iblis (devil) to whisper suggestions to them, bringing openly before their minds all their shame that was hidden from them (before): he said "Your Lord only forbade you this tree, lest ye should become angels or such being as live for ever." and the Iblis swore to them both, that he was their sincere adviser.
So by deceit he brought about their fall: when they tasted of the tree, their shame became manifest to them, and they began to sew together the leaves of the Garden over their bodies. 
Allah called unto them: "Did I not forbid you that tree, and tell you that Iblis was an avowed enemy unto you?" 
They said: "Our Lord! we have wronged our own souls: if Thou forgive us not and bestow not upon us thy mercy, we shall certainly be lost."
Allah said: "Get ye down, with enmity between yourselves on earth will be your dwelling-place and your means of livelihood, for a time."  "Therein shall ye live, and therein shall ye die: but from it shall ye be taken out (at last).
Surah A'raaf, 7:11-24

The story above is taken from the Holy Quran, Allah (SWT) reminding Prophet  Mohammad through the revelation of the Holy Quran, that we us human being came from mud, and fashioned in due proportion, and breathed into His spirit. Allah (SWT) give us an honour, when the angel bow down to Adam, not Iblis (devil),  is so jealous to Adam (mankind). He whisper to Adam to disobey Allah order. The tree is a test for both of them, because they both eat the fruit of that tree, they realized they both do wrong, and ask forgiveness from Allah (SWT), because of Allah Mercy; He forgive them both, and send down here on earth to dwell. Allah (SWT) give us knowledge to know what is wrong, and what is right. It is we the responsible for all our deeds done here on earth. During this month of Ramadan, Allah (SWT) give us chance to ask forgiveness, and repent for all our sins. May Allah (SWT) grant us all the forgiveness, and blessing in this life, and in the hereafter.

Twenty Three Days of Ramadan


Alahamdullillah! Indeed it is twenty three days of Ramadan. Hoping it is the Laylatul Qadr, although most of the scholar says it is on twenty seven, or twenty nine days of Ramadan. We need to seek the Night of Power, the Night of Power is better than a thousand months. 




There is an indication to this Hadith by Bukhari, when the Prophet of Allah (SAW) states: "Seek it on the twenty-ninth; it may be on the twenty-seveth, or on the twenty-fifth." Imam Ibn Hajr, in his book, "Fathul Bari," in the commentary of the Book of Bukhari, said: "I accept the ruling that the night occurs on the odd on the of the last ten days of Ramadan, namely the twenty-first, twenty-third, twenty-fifth, twenty-seventh and or twenty-ninth."

The Prophet of Allah (SAW) said: "He who spends the night in prayer on the Night of Power, as a sign of his faith, and seeking rewards from Allah, his previous sins will be forgiven."
Al-Bukhari, Muslim

"And what will explain to thee what the night of Power is? The night of Power is better than a thousand months."
Surah, Qadr, 97:2-3

Therein come down the angels and the Spirit by Allah permission, on every errand:
Peace... This until the rise of Morn!
Surah, Qadr, 97:4-5

Twenty Two Days of Ramadan


Alhamdullillah! I'm waiting for the last ten days, to witness the Laylatul Qadr, Insha Allah, Allah (SWT) accept my intention, Dua's and my prayer. You are always in my prayer, whatever you lost, you will get it back, with Allah blessing! just be patience, and pray to Him especially in this last ten days of Ramadan, Insha Allah! Ameen.



According from Al-Bukari, and Muslim recorded from Aishah (RA) that during the last ten days of Ramadan, the Prophet of Allah would wake his wives up during the night and then remain apart from them (that is being busy in acts of worship). A version in Muslim states. "He would strive (to do acts of worship) during the last ten days of  Ramadan more than he would at any other time." 
At-Tirmidhi recorded also from Ali.

Hadith:
"Whoever prays during the night of Al-Qadr with faith and hoping for its reward will have all of his previous sins forgiven."


"We sent it down during the a blessed night; We forever wish to warn (against evil) In that (night) is made distinct evry affair of wisdom."
Surah, Al-Dukhaan, 44:3-4

Twenty One Days of Ramadan

Alhamdullillah! For the beautiful days we have today, it is hot weather but we are thankful for that.
Oh Allah! Make the beginning of this day good, the middle prosperous, and the end successful. Oh Allah! You alone can change the weather from hot to cool, please do it for us, make easy for us the day until another day to come. I ask You to grant me the good of this world, and of the hereafter. Oh Most Merciful of all who show us Mercy!

Oh Allah! You are my Lord! None has the right to be worship but You. The Opener, The All Knowing, The Restrainer, The Enlarger, The Abaser, The Exalter, The Honourer, The Humiliator, The All Hearing, The All Seeing, The Creator. You created me and am Your slave, and I am faithful to my covenant and my promise (to You) as much as I can. I seek refuge with You from all the evil I have done. I acknowledge before You all the blessings You have bestowed upon me, and I confess to you all my sins. So I entreat You to forgive my sins, for nobody can forgive sins except You. Ameen.

"Guard strictly your (habit of) prayers, especially the middle (Asr) prayer. And stand before Allah with obedience"
Surah Al Baqarah, 2:238

" A great month a blessed month containing a night which is better than a thousand months has approached you people. Allah (SWT) has appointed the observance of fasting during it as an obligatory duty, and of the passing of (a part of) its nights in prayer as voluntary practice. If someone draws near to Allah during it with some good act, he will be (in reward) like one who fulfills an obligatory duty in another month. And he who fulfills an obligatory duty in it will be like one who fulfills seventy obligatory duties in another month. It is the month of endurance and the reward of endurance is paradise... It is a month whose beginning is mercy, whose middle is forgiveness and whose end is freedom from hell...
Hadith Al Bukhari

All praise and Glory to You Oh Lord, The Lord of all mankind, The Most Gracious, Most Merciful, The King, The Holy ONE, The Source of Peace, The Faithful, The Watchful Protector, The Mighty, The Compiler, The Majestic, The Creator, The Maker out of Naught, The Fashioner, The forgiver, The Dominant, The Bestower, and The Provider of all mankind.

Oh Allah! Make the beginning of this day good, the middle prosperous, and the end successful. We ask you to forgive all my sins, We have done here on this earth, and grant us the good of this world, and in the hereafter. O Most Merciful of all who show us Mercy!

"It is Allah who is my Lord! and your Lord; then worship Him.  This is the Way that is straight."
Surah Al-i-Imran, 3:51

"Our Lord! we believe in what Thou has revealed, and we follow the Apostle; then write us down among those who bear witness."
Surah, Al-i-Imran, 3:53

"As to those who reject Faith, I will punish them with terrible agony in this world and in the Hereafter nor will  they have anyone to help." 
"As to those who believe and work righteousness, Allah will pay them (in full) their reward; but Allah love not those who do wrong."
"This is what We rehearse unto thee of the Signs and the Message of Wisdom."  
Surah Al-i-Imran, 3:56-58

The truth (comes) from Allah alone; so be not of those who doubt.
Surah, Al-i-Imran, 3:60

If anyone disputes in this matter with thee, now after (full) knowledge hath come to thee, say: "Come! let us gather together,- our sons and your sons, our women and your women, ourselves and yourselves: then let us earnestly pray, and invoke the curse of Allah on those who lie!"
This is the true account: There is no God except Allah; and Allah - He is indeed the Exalted in Power, The Wise.
Surah, Al-i-Imran, 3:61-62

Nineteen Days of Ramadan

Alhamdullillah! Although it is extreme hot in our area, we are grateful to Allah (SWT), for the blessing we have, the food to eat, and the Life we have.  It is His Mercy can change our destiny, what we want in this LIFE, Allah (SWT) knows already, what we desire, but we need to ask, and pray sincerely for the forgiveness of our sins, may Allah (SWT) accept our intention and Dua's for this month of Ramadan. Ameen. 

Thy Lord does create and choose as He pleases: no choice have they (in the matter): Glory to Allah! and far is He above the partners they ascribe (to Him)!
And thy Lord knows all that their hearts conceal and all that they reveal.
And He is Allah: there is no God but He. To Him be praise, at the first and at the last.
Surah Al-Qasas, 28:68-70

Allah is the Creator of all things, and He is the Guardian and Disposer of all affairs.
To Him belong the keys of the heavens and the earth: and those who reject the Signs of Allah it is they who will be in loss.
Surah Al Zumar, 39:62-63

Whatever is in the heavens and on earth, doth declare the Praises and Glory of Allah: to Him belongs Dominion, and to Him belongs Praise: and He has power over all things.
It is He Who has created you; and of you are some that are unbelievers, and some that are Believers: and Allah sees well all that ye do.
He has created the heavens and the earth in just proportions, and has given you shape, and made your shapes beautiful: and to Him is the final Goal.
He knows what is in the heavens and on earth; and He knows what ye conceal and what ye reveal: yea, Allah knows well the (secrets) of (all) hearts.
Surah Al-Taghabun, 64:1-4 

Dear brother and sister in Islam, and to all non Muslim, The message from the Holy Quran is not my word, it is from Allah the Almighty ONE GOD, open your heart and understand what is the message from GOD to you. 
Before I embrace Islam, I know it is already the true religion that I am searching, answering all my doubts with my previous religion, but because of my pride, and the religion of my parents, it is hard for me to accept, until Allah (SWT) testing my faith, I almost loss my LIFE, It is a night mare that I could not imagine, It is a long Journey toward Islam, but at the end I surrender to ALLAH (SWT) Takbir! Allah Oh Akbar!!! Takbir! Allah Oh Akbar!!! Takbir!  Allah Oh Akbar!!!  ALLAH IS GREAT!!! Alhamdullillah! 

Verily all the praises are due to Allah, we seek His help, we seek His forgiveness, and we seek refuge in Him from the evils of ourselves and the mistakes of our deeds. And he whom Allah guides no one can mislead and whom Allah misleads no one can guide I bear witness that there is NO GOD but ALLAH Alone with no partners and Prophet Mohammad is His slave and messenger.
