Rozaa dhaal hai


Ahlan-Wasahlan - Month of Ramadhan

Assalamu Alykum!!
Trust this reaches you all in good health and spirits Insha-Allah Ameen. Ramadaan is the month where EGO is up against BELIEF!

Think not of hunger, but the poor ...
Think not of thurst, but the scarcity of water ...
Think not of odour, but the scent of Heaven ...
Think not of the suffering, but the pleasure of the Hereafter ...
Think not of the past, but ask for better ...
Think not of the pain, but the happiness of the future.
I make dua that Allah, grant us to witness the auspicious month of Ramadaan and to experience the beauty therein.

We plead with the Almighty, the giver of life, to fill our lives with ghair, ragmah, barakah, health and strength to complete this iebaadah in the highest state of awareness of the Almighty's tougheed...

Yaa Allah, fill our hearts with taqwah and iemaan to fulfill the obligations of this holy month to the best of our ability.

Let us be in a constant state of ihsaan and on a high darajah of mareefat.

At the inception of this month, let us strive to attain Allah's nearness and gain His pleasure and the lofty ranks in Jannah.

May Allah pardon us for all our short-comings...
Yaa Allah, save us from the influence of shaytaan and his friends.

Make us aware of the signs of Laylatul Qadr and grant us to witness the greatness of this mubarak night, "a night better than a thousand months"

Through our siyaam, grant our parents and grandparents who are no longer with us, nur in their quboor and a high place in Jannah. And our parents who are still with us by the grace of the Almighty, grant them to be with us for many more years to come, so that through them we can
attain Thy Jannah...

Yaa Allah, make the reading of the Holy Quraan easy upon us and increase our willingness to listen thereto for verily this is the month of the Quraan...

Yaa Allah, accept all our iebaadah and maqbool all our duas.

Grant our Muslim brethren in the war-torn countries across the world victory and peace and free them from oppression.

May the Almighty shower HIS choicest blessings on you and your entire family during this month as well as the rest of the year, Insha-Allah Yaa Allah, maqbool this dua, Ameen.

Lastly, remember me, my family and whole ummah in your duas.
JazaakAllah
