INTRODUCTION
Bismillah, As Salaamu Aalaykum wa Rahmatullahi wa Barakatuhu,
Alhamdulillah. Indeed, all praise is due to Allah. We praise Him and seek His help and
forgiveness. We seek refuge with Allah from our souls evils and our wrongdoing. He
whom Allah guides, no one can misguide; and he whom He misguides, no one can
guide. I bear witness that there is no god except Allah alone without any partners. And I
bear witness that Muhammad (salAllahu alaihi wa sallam) is His servant and messenger.

Usamah ibn Zayd (Radiyallahu anhu) said,
I said, O Messenger of Allah, I do not see
you fasting in any other month like you fast in
Shaban. He (Sallallahu alaihi wasallam) said,
That is a month to which people do not pay
attention, between Rajab and Ramadan, and it is
a month in which deeds are lifted up to the Lord
of the Worlds. I like for my deeds to be lifted up
when I am fasting. [al-Nasai]

Aisha (Radiyallahu anha) said, The Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant
him peace, used to fast to the point that we would say that he would never break it and
used to not fast to the point that we would say that he would never fast. I never saw the
Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, fast for an entire month
except for Ramadan and I did not see him fast more than during Shaban. [Bukhari]
NOTES
The Messenger of Allah (Sallallahu alaihi wasallam) said, used to say the
following when the month of Rajab began. Oh Allah! Bless us in Rajab
and Shaban, and bring us, oh Allah, to Ramadan. [Tabarani and Ahmad]

Plan your Ramadan
Dont lose sight of TODAY
Get rid of anything that interferes with
your Ramadan experience.
Keep a dua list.
The invocation of one who fasts will
be answered each time he breaks his
fast (at night) [Ibn Majah]
Mind your speech.
Mind your media intake.
If you fall short, dont beat yourself
up.
Aisha (radiyallahu anha) said that
Rasulullah (salAllahu alaihi wa sallam)
said: The deeds most loved by Allah
swt (are those) done regularly, even if
they are small. [Bukhari, Muslim]
Charity begins at home; take care of
your family, friends and community.
BISMILLAH
Start an iftar fund today. Funds collected will easily sponsor an iftar at your local
masjid or in your home.
The Prophet (salAllahu alaihi wa sallam) said: Whoever gives food to a fasting
person with which to break his fast, will have a reward equal to his, without it
detracting in the slightest from the reward of the fasting person. [At-Tirmithi]
Be aware of your time and schedule yourself ONE qiyam per week. As you
become increasingly accustomed to performing qiyam, increase the frequency to
your level of comfort.
Abu Umamah, radiyallahu anhu, reported that the Messenger of Allah (sal Allahu
alaihi wa sallam) said: I urge you to perform qiyam at night, because it was the
consistent way of the righteous people who preceded you, it is a means of coming
closer to Your Lord, it is a means of expiating your wrongdoings, and it is a restraint
against sinning. [At-Tirmithi, At-Tabarani and others verified to be hasan by Al-Albani]
Consider doing your major grocery shopping and laundry chores in Shaban.
One sister cooked enough for herself and family during the last week of Shaban to last the
entire month of Ramadan. She froze the food in meal-ready containers so all she had to do
during Ramadan was to thaw and heat them.
Clean your house BEFORE Ramadan, making it easier to maintain and freeing you
up for more acts of worship. The shayateen like to frequent filthy areas, so dont
give them a chance.
Automate your sadaqah starting in Ramadan, being sure to maintain a minimum
bank balance to avoid overdraft fees. The year-round sadaqah to your favorite
nonprofit provides you with steady hasanat, inshaAllah.
It is narrated on the authority of Amirul Muminin, Abu Hafs Umar bin al-Khattab,
(radiyallahu anhu) who said: I heard the Messenger of Allah (salAllahu alaihi wa
sallam) say: Actions are (judged) by motives (niyyah), so each man will have what
he intended. Thus, he whose migration (hijrah) was to Allah and His Messenger,
his migration is to Allah and His Messenger; but he whose migration was for some
worldly thing he might gain, or for a wife he might marry, his migration is to that for
which he migrated. [Al-Bukhari & Muslim]
If you give gifts for Eid, buy them ahead of time, so you can focus on the last ten
days of Ramadan properly.
At the end of Ramadan, look back and thank Allah for what youve accomplished
and ask Him to accept the good :)

FIQH OF RAMADAN
Abu Huraira, (radiyallahu anhu) reported that The Prophet, (salAllahu alaihi wa sallam)
said, When the month of Ramadan starts, the gates of the heaven are opened and the
gates of Hell are closed and the devils are chained.
Why, then, do we still have bad thoughts? It is a common question. Scholars
say that these thoughts originate from our own souls battered by satanic
whisperings and devices implanted in us. Another blessing of Ramadan
now becomes apparent. It is a time to see what has happened to our soul,
what condition it is in, and take notice of our shortcomings: jealousy, envy,
overzealous competition, love of gossip, and the rest. During Ramadan, these
traits become clear, and a clear enemy is easier to defeat than a slinking one.
-Shaykh Hamza Yusuf
The Islamic month begins with one of two events:
1. Sighting of the new moon.
Ibn Umar, (radiyallahu anhu) said, The people were looking for the new
moon and when I reported to the Messenger of Allah, (salAllahu alaihi wa
sallam) that I had seen it, he fasted and ordered the people to fast. [Abu
Dawood]
1. Completion of 30 days.
Abu Huraira, (radiyallahu anhu) reported that the Messenger of Allah
instructed: Fast after you have seen it [the new crescent] and end the fast
[at the end of the month] when you see it. If it is hidden from you, then
wait until the thirty days of Shaban have passed. [Bukhari & Muslim]
Who is your community scholar? Once you know, ask when the fasting of Ramadan will
begin for your community.
Who is required to fast? Why?
Who is exempt from fasting? Why?
GETTING STARTED
What are the conditions of intention for fard (obligatory) fasting?
ZAKAT UL-FITR
Prophet Muhammad (salAllahu alaihi wa sallam) has said, Whoever paid it (Zakat ul-
Fitr) before Salat ul-Eid, it is acceptable zakat before Allah. Whoever paid it after Salat
ul-Eid, it is just a charity. The companions of the Prophet (radiyallahu anhum) used to
pay it a few days earlier. [Al-Bukhari]
It is reported from Ibn Umar, (radiyallahu anhu) that he said: The Messenger of Allah,
(salAllahu alaihi wa sallam) enjoined the payment of one sa of date or one sa of
barley as Zakat ul-Fitr on every Muslim, young and old, male and female, free and
slave.[Bukhari & Muslim]
What is Zakat ul-Fitr?
How much is one sa?
How is it supposed to be paid?
When is Zakat ul-Fitr supposed to be paid?
Who are the recipients?
To whom are those that zakat CANNOT
be given?
Zakat amount

What is the difference between Zakat and Zakat ul-Fitr?
TIPS
1. Avoid onions, garlic, spicy or highly scented foods and drinks so that you dont
offend your taraweeh neighbors in salat. Indulge in all those delicacies AFTER
taraweeh.
It is related that Abdul-Aziz said, Anas was asked, What did you hear the
Prophet, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, say about garlic? He answered,
Whoever eats it should not come near our mosque. [Bukhari]
2. Eat light! Avoid overeating as it cause drowsiness, laziness, shortness of breath
and other discomforts during long prayers.
O Children of Adam! wear your beautiful apparel at every time and place of
prayer: eat and drink: But waste not by excess, for Allah loveth not the wasters. .
[Quran 7:31]
3. Rinse your mouth, floss and perform miswak to cleanse your breath and tongue.
It is related that Suwayd ibn an-Numan said, We set out for Khaybar with the
Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace. When we were at
as-Sahba (and Yahya says that is a days journey from Khaybar), the Messenger of
Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, asked for food. Only sawiq* was
brought. We chewed and ate it. Then he called for water and rinsed his mouth out
and we did so as well, and then he led us in Maghrib without repeating wudu.
Sufyan said, I heard it from him, beginning to end. *sawiq: a mush made of wheat
or barley. [Bukhari]
4. If body odor is a problem take a quick shower to freshen up.
5. Wear comfortable clothes and keep in mind that with many people packed tightly
together in the summer heat, the temperature and tempers may be exacerbated.
Keep it clean and modest.
6. After iftar, head straight to the masjid, and if you have guests, bring them along!
7. Bring a sealable water bottle with you: 2/3 ice and 1/3 water. This will help you keep
Narrated Abu Huraira radiyallahu anhu,: The Prophet sallallahu alayhi wasallam said:
Whoever establishes prayers during the nights of Ramadan faithfully out of sincere
faith and hoping to attain Allahs rewards (not for showing off), all his past sins will be
forgiven. -Bukhari
The Messenger of Allah sallallahu alayhi wasallam said: Whoever stands with the imam
until he finishes (the prayer), the reward of Qiyam al-Layl will be recorded for him.
-At-Tirmidhi
TARAWEEH
1. This is tough, but be patient. Be patient. Be patient. Our children are the future of
this beautiful Ummah. We are losing our youth in part because we push them away
from the masjid for our own convenience.
2. Make dua for the parents and the children; after all, we are one Ummah and our
goal is to enter Jannah. Plus, you get to have an angel say AMEEN, and to you too.
3. Know that everything that happens is a trial. Will you fail or pass? Increase in
tolerance or demand the future Mumineen-in-training to be removed?
1. No matter how young the child, some may find it offensive to see a child wearing
shoes in the prayer area. Place your childrens shoes inside a shopping bag and
into your handbag. Not only will it help keep the shoes section tidy, but it will also
make it easier for you to find the tiny shoes later.
2. Position yourself and your children at the end of a row to avoid gaps and disruption
during prayer. If possible, pray in the back rows.
3. Prepare light meals for your child to minimize bathroom or diaper breaks. Oh! And
change your babys diaper before leaving the house.
4. Bring fruit or vegetable snacks for when your children get hungry. Also bring their
favorite toy, pacifier or blanket to pacify them.
5. Make dua. -Inspired by Sadaf Farooqis Children @ Taraweeh: Storm in a Teacup at MuslimMatters.org

NON-PARENTS
One question most Imams, Shuyukh, Duat, etc get asked is, How and
when did you know this is what you wanted to do? Well my answer to
this question has to do with attending tarawih in Ramadan. Alhamdulillah
since the age of about 5 my father used to take me to tarawih every night in
Ramadan, even on school nights. Around the time I was 8 I remember being
amazed by the imams recitation of the Quran from memory in tarawih. I
even told my father that I want to be able to do what he does. So biidhnillah
when the opportunity presented itself to go and memorize the Quran, I
jumped at it and insisted that I be allowed to go. Keep in mind that this
involved traveling overseas at the age of 10. Alhamdulillah, since then one
thing Allah has granted me the ability to do consistently is lead tarawih every
Ramadan. This was the beginning of my journey down the road of seeking
knowledge and serving the Deen. -Abdul Nasir Jangda
Founder & Director of Qalam Institute
NOTES
hydrated during the long prayers. Too much water, however, will send you to the
bathroom, so choose wisely
8. Put your phone on silent to avoid disrupting others prayers.
9. THE SHOES! During Ramadan the brothers shoe racks are in complete disarray.
PLEASE put your shoes on the rack neatly, in order to tidy up the area and make a
masjid experience better for others. Sisters, bring a plastic shopping bag for your
shoes. If there is no room on the shoe racks, you can put your shoes in the bag and
into your handbag.

Design for laziness. Despite your enthusiasm and iman surge, your nafs will get in the
way. It happens. It happens to the best and most dedicated of us, so dont feel bad
about itPLAN for it.
If something requires us to exert just a little bit more effort, the chances well do it go
way, way down. Theres a huge difference, for example, between two clicks to get
something done and one click. - BJ Fogg
Most people plan for perfection, expecting to be 100% at all times. This is not
sustainable. So before those low-energy, low-motivation days get you, think of ways
NOW to simplify your tasks so that when they do occur, you have a plan of action that
carries you through.
SIDE NOTE: Did you know that many Olympic athletes plan their training schedules
annually, and some even four years in advance, to ensure they reach their performance
goals? This helps them stay on track when pressure mounts and life happens, and it
also gives them a framework to adjust when needed. They go to bed early and take 90
minute naps in the afternoon. We call that nap qailulah and its a sunnah! So prepare
for Ramadan like an elite athlete
This Ramadan will be different than any other because you will be an active rather than
a passive participant, inshaAllah.

If you are having a hard time developing the steps to achieve your goal, then think of
what you want to achieve and work backwards. Keep the end in mind and make dua
for success.
SMART-SPECIFIC, MEASURABLE, ATTAINABLE, RELEVANT, TIME-BOUND
A good plan has a clear cause and effect in attainable stages. A good plan is:
Specific: Requires concentration on ONE thing until you are clear on the What,
Why & How;
Measurable: Uses milestones and benchmarks, aka deliverables;
Attainable: Consists of progressive tasks and steps you can do to accomplish them;
Relevant: Leverages your learning style, morals and character. What works for
others may not work for you; and,
Time Bound: Demands a deadline and not an open-ended time frame. You must
complete the goal before you can build upon it with a new goal.
Below are some reflection questions to get you started on your goal-mapping journey.
1. If you had only six months to live and this was your last Ramadan, what would
you like to achieve?

2. What is the legacy you would like to leave?

3. If Allah, Subhanahu wa taala, was to give you ANYTHING you ever wanted, what
would you ask for? (Add them to your Master Dua List.)

The Messenger of Allah (sal Allahu alaihi wa sallam) addressed
his companions on the last day of Shaban, saying,
Oh people! A great month has come over you; a blessed month;
a month in which is a night better than a thousand months; month
in which Allah has made it compulsory upon you to fast by day,
and voluntary to pray by night. Whoever draws nearer (to Allah)
by performing any of the (optional) good deeds in (this month)
shall receive the same reward as performing an obligatory deed
at any other time, and whoever discharges an obligatory deed
in (this month) shall receive the reward of performing seventy
obligations at any other time. It is the month of patience, and
the reward of patience is Heaven. It is the month of charity, and
a month in which a believers sustenance is increased. Whoever
gives food to a fasting person to break his fast, shall have his sins
forgiven, and he will be saved from the Fire of Hell, and he shall
have the same reward as the fasting person, without his reward
being diminished at all.

Abu Juhayfa Wahb ibn Abdullah (radiyAllahuanhu) said, The Prophet (salAllahu alayhi
wa salam) joined Salman and Abud-Darda (radiyAllahuanhum) together in brotherhood.
Salman visited Abud-Darda and saw Umm ad-Darda (radiyAllahuanha) poorly dressed and
said to her, Whats the matter with you? She said, Your brother Abud-Darda has no need
of this world. Abud-Darda came and made some food for him. Salman said, Eat. He said, I
am fasting. Salman said, I will not eat unless you eat. He said, He ate. In the night, Abud-
Darda went to stand in prayer and Salman said to him, Sleep! and he slept. Then he got
up again and Salman said, Sleep! At the end of the night, Salman said, Now get up and we
will pray. Salman said to him, Your Lord has rights over you and your self has rights over
you, so give those with rights their due. Abud-Darda came to the Prophet, may Allah bless
him and grant him peace, and mentioned this to him and the Prophet said, Salman spoke
the truth. [Bukhari]

The Prophet (salAllahu alayhi wa salam)said: The fast and the Quran are two interces-
sors for the servant of Allah on the Day of Resurrection. The fast will say, O Lord, I
prevented him from his food and desires during the day. Let me intercede for him. The
Quran will say, I prevented him from sleeping at night. Let me intercede for him. And
their intercession will be accepted. [Ahmad]

most generous amongst the people, and he used to be more so in the month of Ramadan
when Gabriel visited him, and Gabriel used to meet him on every night of Ramadan till the
end of the month. The Prophet used to recite the Holy Quran to Gabriel, and when Ga-
briel met him, he used to become more generous than the fast wind in doing good. [Bukhari]

Abu Umamah (radiyallahu anhu) related that the the Prophet (salAllahu alayhi wa
salam) said, I urge you to perform qiyam at night, because it was the consistent way
of the righteous people who preceded you, it is a means of coming closer to Your
Lord, it is a means of expiating your wrongdoings, and it is a restraint against sinning
[Tirmidhi, At-Tabarani, & others. Verified to be hasan by al-Albani]

Fasting Ramadan is a means of expiation for the sins committed since the previous Ra-
madan, so long as one avoids major sins. It was proven in Saheeh Muslim (233) that the
Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: The five daily prayers, from one
Jumuah to the next and from one Ramadan to the next are expiation for (sins committed)
in between, so long as you avoid major sins.

Abu Usayd (radiyAllahuanhu) said, We were with the Messenger of Allah, (salAllahu

which I can do for my parents after their death? He replied, Yes. There are four things:
Supplication for them, asking forgiveness for them, fulfilling their pledges, and being gen-
erous to friends of theirs. You only have ties of kinship through your parents [Bukhari]

Ibn Abbas (radiyAllahuanhu) said, If any Muslim obeys Allah regarding his parents,
Allah will open two gates of the Garden for him. If there is only one parent, then one
gate will be opened. If one of them is angry, then Allah will not be pleased with him
until that parent is pleased with him. He was asked, Even if they wrong him? Even
if they wrong him he replied. [Bukhari]
Ali ibn Abi Talib (radiyAllahuanhu) narrates that the Messenger of Allah (salAllahu alayhi wa

goodness). [Muslim]

The Messenger of Allah (salAllahu alayhi wa salam) said, Ramadan has come to you.
(It is) a month of blessing, in which Allah covers you with blessing, for He sends down
Mercy, decreases sins and answers prayers. In it, Allah looks at your competition (in
good deeds), and boasts about you to His angels. So show Allah goodness from
yourselves, for the unfortunate one is he who is deprived in (this month) of the mercy
of Allah, the Mighty, the Exalted.. [Tabarani]

Al-Bara ibn Azib (radiyAllahuanhu) reported, When the Prophet (salAllahu alayhi wa

my face to You and I have surrendered my self to You and I have committed my back to
You out of fear and desire for You. There is no place of safety or refuge from You except
with You. I have believed in Your book which You revealed and Your Prophet whom You
sent. He said, Whoever says it at night and then dies, dies in fitra (natural state). [Bukhari]

It is related that Zayd ibn Thabit said, We used to have suhoor with the Prophet, may
Allah bless him and grant him peace. Then he stood up for the prayer. Anas said, I said,
How long was there between the adhan and suhoor? He said, Enough to recite fifty
ayats. [Bukhari]

Abu Hurayra (radiyAllahuanhu) reported that the Messenger of Allah (salAllahu alayhi
wa salam) said, There are seven whom Allah will shade with His shade on the day when
there is no shade but His shade: a just leader, a youth who grows up worshipping Allah,
the Mighty and Exalted, a man whose heart is attached to the mosque, two men who
love each other for the sake of Allah, meeting and parting for that reason alone, a man
who refuses the advances of a noble and beautiful woman, saying, I fear Allah, a man who gives
sadaqa and conceals it so that his left hand does not know what his right hand gives, and a man
who remembers Allah when he is alone and his eyes overflow with tears. [Bukhari]

O you who have believed, fear Allah . And let every soul look to what it has put forth
for tomorrow - and fear Allah . Indeed, Allah is Acquainted with what you do. [Surat
Al-Hashr verse 18]
The day on which property will not avail, nor sons, Except him who comes to Allah
with a heart free (from evil). [Surat Ash-Shuàra verses 88-89]

LAST 10 NIGHTS!
What can you do to gather as many rewards in the last 10 nights as possible? (brainstorm below)
REMEMBER ZAKAT AL FITR IS TO BE PAID BEFORE THE EID PRAYER

LAYLATUL QADR
BATTLE PLAN
For you guys who like math, lets do some calculations
for some motivation. If Laylatul-Qadr is worth more
than 1000 months [see Quran 97:3], and the night
lasts about 8 hours (may be more or less depending
on your locality), then 1000 months divided by 8 hours
means you get 125 months per hour, which means you
get more than 10 years per hour, which means for every
6 minutes of worship, you get more than 1 years worth!
SubhanAllah, hows that for a math lesson!
Source: Taken from DailyReminders
1. Start preparing for it at Fajr. After Fajr salat, ensure you recite the morning adhkar
(remembrance), especially: La ila illahu wahdahu la sharika lahu, lahul mulku
walahul hamd wahuwa ala kulli shayin qadeer
There is no God but Allah; He is alone without any partner. To Him
belong the dominion and to Him belong all praise and He is over all
things able.
The Prophet (sal Allahu alaihi wa sallam) said whoever recites it 100 times in the
morning and evening, 100 good deeds will be recorded for him and 100 evil deeds will
be erased from his tab, and he will be protected from the Shaytan. [Bukhari & Muslim]
2. Treat a fasting person to iftar, either by inviting him to your house, or by buying
the food for him and sending it to him.
The Prophet (sal Allahu alaihi wa sallam) said that whoever gives food to break another
persons fast, he will receive the same reward as the person without his reward being
diminished. [Narrated by Ibn Khuzaymah]
3. When the day breaks, make as much dua as possible that Allah helps you and
makes it easy for you to worship Him during the night.
4. Throughout the daytime, perform the obligatory duties such as praying on time,
adding sunnah and optional prayers. Repeat the phrases of the adhan after the
muadhin and make the necessary supplications.
5. Constantly make the chosen dua for this night: O Allah you are the Most
Forgiving, and You love to forgive, so forgive me
6. If you can, have a bath and perform wudu like the Prophet.
7. Wear your cleanest and best clothes for this night.
Ibn Abbaas (radiyAllahuanhu) reports from the Messenger of Allah (sal Allahu alaihi
wa sallam) that he said, Wear your white garments for they are among the best of your
clothes. [Abu Dawood]
And it has been narrated authentically that Anas ibn Maalik (radiyAllahuanhu) used to
have a garment that he would wear only once in the year and that was the night that he
expected lailatul Qadr. And it has been reported from a number of the predecessors
that they used to take showers and perfume themselves especially for the last ten nights.
What is the wisdom behind this? In order to best purify our souls and hearts, it helps to
start from the outside by wearing that which is clean, pure and beautifies us, and Allah
knows best.
8. Add duas and get your Master Dua List ready.
9. Set alarms.
MASTER DUA LIST
DUA
STEP 1: Go somewhere really beautiful, where no one can disturb you
STEP 2: Imagine Allah says to you, Ask whatever you wish and I shall grant it to you.
Think of everything good you would ask for from this life and the next.
STEP 3: After thinking of everything you can, sit down and write it out.
STEP 4: Pick 5 things, your favorites, and consistently ask Allah for these 5 every night in
the last ten. Your dua will be guaranteed to have landed on Laylatul-Qadr! How cool is
that? Source: Taken from an email sent by [Sh. Muhammad Alshareef]
Aisha asked the Prophet (saw) What should I say on Laylat-al-qadr? He replied,
Say, O Allah, You are Al-Afuww and You love to afw, so fafu me (Tirmidhi).
O Allah, You are forgiving and You love forgiveness, so forgive me.

one letter, but that alif is a letter, lam is a letter, mim is a letter. [Tirmidhi]
It will be said to those who know the Quran, Recite and ascend. Recite slowly as you did in the

Jabir (radiyallahu anhu) reported that the Prophet (sal Allahu alaihi wa sallam) said:
There is an hour of the night during which no Muslim person would happen to be
asking Allah for a favor from this life or the hereafter, but that Allah grants it to him.
And this is true every night. [Muslim & Ahmad]
Allahumma innaka 3afuwwun tuhibbul afwa faffu Anni (O Allah, You are the Pardoner and You love to pardon, so pardon
me).

What if I knew which night Lailatul-Qadr was, then what should I say in it? He said.-
Say.- (Allahumma innaka affuwwun tuhibbul afwa fafu annee.) O Allah You are The
One Who pardons greatly, and loves to pardon, so pardon me. [at-Tirmithi and Ibn Majah

The Prophet (sal Allahu alaihi wa sallam) said: Ramadan has come to you. (It is) a
month of blessing, in which Allah covers you with blessing, for He sends down Mercy,
decreases sins and answers prayers. In it, Allah looks at your competition (in good
deeds), and boasts about you to His angels. So show Allah goodness from yourselves,
for the unfortunate one is he who is deprived in (this month) of the mercy of Allah,
the Mighty, the Exalted. [Tabarani]

Indeed, We sent the Quran down during the Night of Decree. And what can make you
know what is the Night of Decree? The Night of Decree is better than a thousand months.
The angels and the Spirit descend therein by permission of their Lord for every matter.
Peace it is until the emergence of dawn. [Al-Qadr 97: 1-5]

Whoever established prayers on the night of qadr out of sincere faith and hoping for
a reward from Allah, then all his previous sins will be forgiven; and whoever fasts in the
month of Ramadan out of sincere faith, and hoping for a reward from Allah, then all his
previous sins will be forgiven. [Bukhari]

In the morning charity is due from every bone in the body of every one of you. Every
utterance of Allahs glorification is an act of charity (Subhan Allah). Every utterance
of praise of Him is an act of charity (Alhamdulillah), every utterance of profession of
His Oneness is an act of charity (Laa ilaha ill Allah), every utterance of profession of
His Greatness is an act of charity (Allahu Akbar), enjoining good is an act of charity,
forbidding what is disreputable is an act of charity, and two rakahs which one prays in the forenoon
will suffice. [Bukhari]

HASANAH CHASERS
Abdullah Bin Amr (radiyAllahuanhu) reported that the Prophet (salAllahu alaihi wa
sallam) said: There are two acts that no Muslim worshipper does consistently but that
he will enter Jannah. And though they are easy, only few people perform them:
After each of the (five) prayers, say tasbih ten times, tahmid ten times, and takbir ten
times. This makes one hundred fifty (daily extolments) by tongue, and one thousand
five hundred (good deeds in the scale).
Upon going to bed, say takbir thirty-four times, tahmid thirty-three times, and tasbih
thirty-three times. This makes one hundred (extolments) by tongue, and one thousand
(good deeds) in the scale.
The Prophet (sal Allahu alaihi wa sallam) then added: Satan comes to a person while
he is ready to sleep, and makes him fall asleep before he finishes saying them; and he
comes to him after prayer, and reminds him of something he needs to do instead of
saying them. Recorded by Abu Dawud, at-Tirmithi & others. Verified to be authentic by al-Albani
SO WHO AMONG YOU WOULD COMMIT
TWO THOUSAND FIVE HUNDRED SINS IN
ONE DAY (TO COUNTER THAT)?
FOUR ATKHAR THAT
OUTWEIGH MANY
OTHERS
Juwayriyah (radiyAllahuanha) reported that the Prophet (salAllahu alaihi wa sallam) once
left her house after the morning prayer, while she was sitting in her prayer place extolling
Allah. He returned in the mid-morning and found her still doing the same. He asked her,
Are you still in the same sitting since I left you?
She replied, Yes. He said: Indeed, I said after I left you four statements, three times. If
you weigh them against what you have said since the morning, they would outweigh it:
Exalted be Allah as much as is the sum of His creation; exalted be Allah to the extent that
would please Him; exalted be Allah as much as is the weight of His Throne; exalted be
Allah as much as is the extent of His words.

QIYAM
The night extends from sunset to dawn and can be divided in to three parts. So take
when Maghrib starts and Fajr begins, count the hours between those two and divide by
3.
Abu Hurairah (radiyAllahuanhu) reported that the Prophet (salAllahu alaihi wa
sallam) said: Our Lord (swt) descends every night to the lowest heaven when
only one third of the night has remained. He says, Who is there invoking Me,
so that I may answer him? Who is there asking Me, so that I may give him? Who
is there seeking My forgiveness, so that I may forgive him? [Bukhari & Muslim]
Jabir (radiyAllahuanhu) reported that he heard the Prophet (salAllahu alaihi
wa sallam) say: There is an hour of the night during which no Muslim person
would happen to be asking Allah for a favor from this life or the hereafter, but
that Allah grants it to him. And this is true every night. [Muslim and Ahmad]
Aisha (radiyAllahuanha) reported: Allahs Messenger (salAllahu alaihi wa
sallam)use to sleep in the early part of the night, and wake up (for worship)
during its last part. [Bukhari, Muslim & others]
DETERMINING THE LAST THIRD
OF THE NIGHT
The night extends from sunset to dawn, and can be divided into three
parts. If, for instance, sunset is at 6:00 pm and dawn at 4:30 am, the night
is then 10 1/2 hours long, and each one third is 3 1/2 hours long. The last
third would then extend from 1:00 am to 4:30 am.

GUIDELINES
1. Constancy.
The most beloved deeds to Allah are the most constant, even if they are little.
[Bukhari & Muslim]
2. Moderation.
Take upon yourselves only deeds that you can (consistently) maintain, for, by
Allah, Allah is never tired (i.e., never stops accepting your good deeds) until you
are (by interrupting your heavy worship. [Bukhari & Muslim]
3. Attentiveness.
When one of you becomes sleepy while praying, let him lie down until sleep
departs from him. Indeed, when one of you prays while he is sleepy, instead of
seeking forgiveness, he might curse himself. [Bukhari & Muslim]
NOTES
TAHAJJUD
Sahl Bin Sad, Jabir Bin Abdillah, and Ali Bin Abi Talib (radiyAllahuanhuma) all reported
that the Prophet (salAllahu alaihi wa sallam) said:
Jibril came to me and said, O Muhammad, live as long as you wish you will
then surely die; love whomever you wish you will surely depart from him;
and do as you wish you will surelybe judged according to it. And know
that a believers honor lies in his Qiyam at night, and his dignity is in being
(financially) independent from other people. [at-Tabarani, al-Bayhaqi & others]
Uqba Ibne-Amir (radiyAllahuanhu) narrates: I heard Rasulullah (salAllahu alaihi wa
sallam) saying: One, out of two persons of my Ummah, gets up at night and motivates
himself for Wudu despite not feeling to do so; since, Shaitan had tied knots on him.
When he washes his two hands in Wudu, one knot is loosened; and when he washes
his face another knot is loosened; and when he wipes his head wtih wet hands, another
knot is loosened; and when he washes his feet, yet another knot is loosened. Allah
says to those behind the veil His angels; Look at My slave! How much hardship he is
enduring in dealing with his Nafs (innerself), so now whatever this slave asks of Me, it
will be granted to him. [Musnad Ahmad]
Ibne-Abbas (radiyAllahuanhuma) narrates that when the Prophet (salAllahu alaihi wa
sallam) used to wake up for Tahajjud salat during the night, he would make this dua:
O Allah! All praise be to You; You are the Sustainer of the Heavens and the
Earth, and whosoever is in them, to You be praise. You are the light of the
Heavens and the Earth, and whosoever is in them, to You be praise. You are
the King of the Heavens and the Earth, to You be praise. You are the Truth,
Your promise is True, the meeting with You is a certainty, Your Word is True,
Paradise is True, Hell is True, the Prophets are True, Muhammad (salAllahu
alaihi wa sallam) is True; teh Hour (Day of Resurrection) is True. O Allah! To
You I have surrendered, upon You I believe, upon You I trust, to YOu I turn
to in repentace, by Your help I have disputed (with the one who does not
believe), and to You I have come for Judgment. So forgive me my past sins,
and those I may do later, my secret and my open sins. You are the One Who
enables someone to move forward in good deeds and You are the One Who
defers. And none is worthy of worship but You. There is no might to resist
evil, and no power to do good, except through Allah. [Bukhari]
Ibne-Abbas (radiyAllahuanhuma) narrates: I heard Rasulullah (salAllahu alaihi wa
sallam)reciting this supplication one night, after he had completed his Tahajjud salat:
1. O Allah! I ak You of Your Mercy by which You give guidance to my heart, by
which You make my work easy, and remove my distressed condition by it,
and manage my issues in my absence by it. And give exaltation and honour
by Your Mercy; and clean my actions (from hypocrisy and infidelity) by Your
Mercy; and put that thing in my heart, which is correct and suitable for me;
and whatever I like, grant me by Your Mercy; and protect me from all evil by
Your Mercy.
2. Oh Allah! Give me that belief and faith after which there may not be any
infidelity and a Mercy enabling me to achieve the blessings of Your gifts in
this world and the hereafter.
3. Oh Allah! I ask of You to give me conviction that Your Decree is the very
fulfillment of my aims, and an entertainment which is offered to martyrs, and
a life of the fortunate, and Your help over enemies.
4. Oh Allah! I place before You my needs, though my understanding is limited, and
my actions are weak, hence I am badly in need of Your Mercy. O the Maker of
Affairs and Healer of the hearts! As You by Your power keep the oceans (running
together) separate from each other (that the saltish remains separate from the
sweet and the sweet remains separate from the saltish); so I request You to keep
me away from the punishment of the Hell-Fire, and the lamentations of the one
about to perish, and from the punishment of the grave.
5. O Allah! I ask You of that goodness which is beyond my understanding and
intention, and which I did not even ask. However, You promised this to anyone
of Your creation, or any goodness which You want to give to any of Your slaves.
I desire this and ask You of it by Your Mercy, O Sustainer of the universe!
6. O You of firm promises and master of good deeds! I ask for Your peace on
the Day of Judgement, and Paradise on the Day of Eternity, to be among
Yours Favourites and regular attendants of Your Court; frequently bowing and
prostrating and fulfilling their promises. You are most Kind and Most Loving,
and no doubt You do what You will.
7. O Allah! Make me one who is guided aright, and guides others aright. Do not
misguide me, and do not make me misguide others. I may be in peace with Your
friends and enemy of Your enemies. Those who love You, I should love them
for that love of Yours, and those who are against You, I should have enmity with
them due to their enmity with You.
8. O Allah! It is for us to supplicate, and for You to accept. This is my effort and
reliance is on You.
9. O Allah! Put Nur (light) in my heart, and make my grave illuminated; and grant
me Nur in front of me, Nur at my back, Nur on my right, Nur on my left, Nur
above me, Nur below me, (Your Nur be around me), and Nur in my ears, Nur
in my eyes, Nur in every hair of mine, Nur in my skin, Nur in my flesh, Nur in my
blood, and Nur in every bone of mine. O Allah! Make my Nur enormous, grant
me Nur, and make Nur for me.
10. Unblemish is He whose covering is dignity itself and Whose World is Dignified.
Unblemished is He Whose dress is Nobility and Honour. Unblemished is He;
and none can be appropriately called unblemished besides Him. Unblemished
is He Who is of great Excellence and full of Bounties. Unblemished is He Who
is of great Dignity and Generosity. Unblemished is He Who is the Possessor of
great Power and Respect. [Tirmidhi]
NOTES
The Messenger of Allah (salAllahu alaihi wa sallam) said: Friday is the best of days. It
was on this day that Adam (peace be upon him) was created, it was on this day that he
was granted entry into Paradise, it was on this day that he was removed from Paradise
(which became the cause for mans existence in this universe, and which is a great
blessing), and the day of resurrection will also take place on this day. [Sahih Muslim]
TAKE A SHOWER
Rasulallah said: O Muslims! Allah Taala has made this day a day of Eid. So have
a bath on this day, whoever has perfume should apply it, and use the Miswaak.
[Ibn Majah]
MAKE DUA
Abu Hurayrah (radiyAllahuanhu) narrated that the Prophet (salAllahu alaihi wa
sallam) said; On Friday, there is an hour during which, if any Muslim is standing
in front of Allah in salat, and asking Allah for something good, he will be granted
his request, Then he made a sign with his hands, showing that it was a very short
period of time. [Bukhari]
Friday has twelve hours (or parts to it). There is one hour during which if a Muslim
asks Allah anything, Allah will give it to him, so find it during the last hour after
Asr. [Reported by Abu Dawud #926 of Sahih Al-Sunan]
READ SURAH KAHF
The evidence for it being recommended includes the hadith related by Hakim
and Bayhaqi, from Abu Saìd (Allah be pleased with him), Whoever recites Surat
al-Kahf on Friday, light shall shine forth for him between the two Fridays. [Ibn Hajar,
Talkhis al-Habir]
SEND BLESSINGS TO THE PROPHET (Allah bless him and give him peace)
The Messenger of Allah (Allah bless him and give him peace) said: Of all the days,
Friday is the most virtuous. It is on this day that the trumpet will be blown. Send
abundant blessings upon me on Fridays because they are presented to me on that
day. The Companions (Allah be pleased with them) asked: O the Messenger
of Allah! How will they be presented to you when even your bones will not be
present after your death? The Messenger of Allah (Allah bless him and give him
peace) replied: Allah Most High has made the earth forbidden upon the prophets
forever. [Abu Dawud]
FRIDAY
NOTES
Abdullah ibne-Abu Awfa Al Aslami (Radiyallahu anhuma) narrates that Rasulullah
(salAllahu alaihi wa sallam) came to us and said: Whoever is confronted with a need,
relating either to Allah or to any of his creation, he should perform Wudu and offer to
rakat salat, and then supplicate:
There is none worthy of worship but Allah the Clement, the Bountiful;
Glorified be Allah, the Lord of the tremendous Throne; Praise be to Allah,
the Sustainer of the worlds. O Allah! I ask from You everything that leads
to Your Mercy and ensures Your Forgiveness; I ask You for abundance in all
that is virtuous; I ask You to leave no sin of mine but that You have removed
it; an no want except that which met Your pleasure and You have fulfilled
it for me.
After this supplicate to Allah for whatever you want pertaining to this world or the
hereafter, undoubtedly it will be answered. [Ibne-Majah]
THE PRAYER OF NEED
SALAT AL-HAJAH
Turn towards Allah, O believers, every one of you, so that you may be
successful. (24:31)
Abu Bakr (Radiyallahu anhu) narrates: I heard the Messenger of Allah (salAllahu alaihi
wa sallam) saying: Whenever a slave (of Allah) commits a sin, then he performs Wudu
properly and offers two rakat salat and seeks forgiveness from Allah, Allah forgives him.
Then the Messenger of Allah (salAllahu alaihi wa sallam) recited these verses:
And those who, when they do an evil thing or wrong themselves, remember
Allah and implore forgiveness for their sins - Who forgives sins save Allah
only? - and will not knowingly repeat (the wrong) they did. [Quran, 3:135]
reported by [Abu Dawud]
Hasan (Rahimahullah) narrates that Rasulullah (salAllahu alaihi wa sallam) said: There
is not a slave (of Allah) who commits a sin, then performs Wudu and does it properly,
then goes to an open plain and offers two rakat salat and seeks forgiveness for that sin
indeed Allah forgives him. [Baihaqi]
O Allah, Your forgiveness is far more extensive than my sins and Your
forgiveness is far more promising unto me than my (good) actions. So
please forgive me. Ameen.

Abdullah ibn Masud (radiyAllahuanhu) reported that the Prophet (salAllahu alaihi wa

good deed in recompense and this one recompense will be equal to ten good deeds. I
do not say Alif Laam Meem is a letter, but Alif is a letter, Laam is a letter and Meem is

Recite the Quran, for on the Day of Resurrection, it shall come as an intercessor for
its companion. [Muslim]
STEP 1: Go somewhere really beautiful, where no one can disturb you
STEP 2: Imagine Allah says to you, Ask whatever you wish and I shall grant it to you.
Think of everything good you would ask for from this life and the next.
STEP 3: After thinking of everything you can, sit down and write it out.
STEP 4: Pick 5 things, your favorites, and consistently ask Allah for these 5 every night
in the last ten. Your dua will be guaranteed to have landed on Laylatul-Qadr! How
cool is that? Source: Taken from an email sent by [Sh. Muhammad Alshareef]
And when My servants ask you, [O Muhammad], concerning Me - indeed I am near. I respond to the
invocation of the supplicant when he calls upon Me. So let them respond to Me [by obedience] and
believe in Me that they may be [rightly] guided.
