Effects of Worship in Ramadhan

Adminstrator — Mon, 16 Aug 2010 16:15:32 +0000

Experience has shown that effects of ibaadat (worship) in the blessed month of Ramadhan remain upon the remainder of the year. Whomsoever practises any virtue informally therein, ease of performing A’amale Salihah overtakes them thereafter.

Similarly, whoever prevents them self from sinning therein, for the remaining eleven months abstentation will become easy. In reality, prevention from sins in Ramadhan is not too difficult because, it is established that the Shayateen are imprisoned. Consequently, less sinning occurs generally because of removal of this stimulant.

However, sins do not totally disappear because the other orchestrator: one’s nafs (self) is present. Even in this month it will instigate sins but, yes, its schemes will lesson because only one stimulant is now active.

Therefore, the impositions of this one month should be accepted. All parts (of one’s body) should be saved from sin.

Remembering Allah During Ramadhãn

During the build up to Ramadhan 1429 our respected Shaykh gave us many words of advice and encouragement on how to get the most out of the blessed month. On the 1st of Ramadhan, after the afternoon majlis, Shaykh outlined the following principles related to the ibadah of Allah subhanahu wata’alaa during the month. Insha’allah, these principles will prove useful to anyone who adopts them, especially those who are connected to a shaykh.

1. Do as much tilawat of the Qur’an as possible. For huffaz, 7 completions of the Qur’an during the month can be considered an acceptable amount, though it is preferable to complete it 10 times.

For non-huffaz, 3 completions is an acceptable number, though it is preferable to do 5.

Whatever number is chosen, it should be treated as a starting point from which you should try to progress each year.

While engaging in tilawah, the adab of reciting the Qur’an set out by Hadhrat Shaykhul Hadith Mawlana Muhammad Zakariyya rahimahullah in Virtues of Qur’an should be adopted.

2. Be punctual with the ma’mulat prescribed to you by your shaykh. Special attention should be given to ensuring that tasbihat, zikr and daily reading from munajat e maqbul/Al-hizbul-a’zam are maintained during Ramadhan.

Also, recite durud sharif at least 500 to 1,000 times daily.

3. Hold fast to du’a and istighfar.

Du’a.

A short du’a should be offered after every ibadah, e.g. after salah, zikr and tilawah. Learn the following concise and comprehensive du’as:

These three du’as should be offered after every ibadah.

Further, there are 3 occasions in which a more prolonged and detailed du’a should be offered. These occasions are: a) tahajjud; b) iftar; c) on completing the Qur’an.

Note: When the days are long, the Qur’an should be completed and du’a made after Fajr; when the nights are long then after maghrib.

Istighfar

Istighfar, begging Allah subhanahu wata’alaa for forgiveness, should be a major part of your du’as. Also, when alone, you should turn to Allah subhanahu wata’alaa and repeatedly beg, ‘O Allah, forgive me,’ or fall in prostration and beseech Him for forgiveness.

Key Advice for the Newly Wed

Adminstrator — Fri, 06 Aug 2010 11:47:59 +0000

Based on the advices of Shaykh Muhammad Saleem Dhorat (db)

Prepared by Brother Aslam Patel

“You have never seen anything better than marriage for those who love.”
(Ibn Mãjah)

Shaykh Muhammad Saleem Dhorat dãmat barakãtuhum advises:

1. Every action is dependant upon intention. When marrying, both partners should therefore make a firm intention to accomplish the following objectives:

* Following the Sunnah of our beloved Nabee Muhammad (S).
* Safeguarding oneself from sins.
* Parenting pious children.

2. When marrying, each becomes the other’s lifetime companion. Each should understand and appreciate that Allah has brought them both together and that their destiny in life has now become one. Whatever the circumstances: happiness or sorrow; health or sickness; wealth or poverty; comfort or hardship; trial or ease; all events are to be confronted together as a team with mutual affection and respect. No matter how wealthy, affluent, materially prosperous and “better-off” another couple may appear, one’s circumstances are to be happily accepted with qanã‘at (contentment upon the Choice of Allah). The wife should happily accept her husband, his home and income as her lot and should always feel that her husband is her true beloved and best friend and well-wisher in all family decisions. The husband too should accept his wife as his partner-for-life and not cast a glance towards another.

3. Nowadays, the husband reads about, and is well-informed of his rights and demands them. Similarly, the wife reads of her rights and expects them. However, both should concentrate on being aware of each other’s rights and then strive to fulfill them. This is the prescription for a prosperous marriage and everlasting love.

4. During the first year of marriage, the couple must try and spend as much time as possible together. This is especially true for the first two months as it provides an opportunity to understand each other’s temperaments and establishes a firm foundation which contributes towards securing a prosperous marriage.

5. The couple (especially the husband) must make a point to arrive home early after ‘Ishã Salãh and scrupulously avoid the habit of socialising with friends late into the evening. Wherever possible, business, employment and other activities should be concluded beforehand or curtailed in order to set aside time for spending together.

6. Mutual respect between husband and wife should not be lost. They should each be very particular about following the Deen right from the initial stages of married life. This will also ensure a religious environment for the children to be nurtured in, contributing greatly towards their successful upbringing.

7. True and everlasting prosperity is only possible for Muslims when they follow the Sunnah of Rasoolullah (S) in all affairs. The couple too, should adhere to the teachings of Rasoolullah (S) in all their matters and abstain from anything which contradicts them. Careful attention should be given to this in their intimate relationship too. Inshã’allah this will be an assured approach to acquiring the blessing of pious offspring.

8. In the initial stages of marriage, the love between the couple is a physical bond, wherein emotional changes take place all the time. Despite great passion and physical love for each other, affection between the couple is not yet well established or on a rational basis. Such rational love comes after many years together. It is therefore extremely important for the husband not to succumb to emotional weaknesses at the onset and let the marriage waver towards an irreligious direction. Both the husband and wife should make a pledge to each other to steadfastly follow the Deen, especially in the performance of Salãh and in avoiding all sins.

9. Marriage is like the weather, forever changing. Sometimes it is cloudy and rainy, life appears gloomy, then the sun appears and rays of happiness break through bringing joy. At times, one experiences rain, wind and sunshine all in one day. Such is life, and like the seasons, we go through different experiences. The secret is to remain devoted and steadfast to one’s Deen and spouse.

10. The husband should be sympathetic to the fact that his wife has left her parents, brothers and sisters to start a new life with him. Her sacrifice and her feelings should be respected and joy should be felt by both partners at the expansion of their families. Just as the wife should treat her husband’s parents as her own, he should also extend affection, courtesy and respect to his new in-laws.

11. As soon as one experiences a problem, no matter how trivial, which remains unresolved for more than three days, consult a person who is both knowledgeable and your sincere well-wisher.
