The Official Ramadan Thread. Ramadan 1430 A.H/August 2009 (OP)
The month of Ramadan is next month.
The month of Ramadan in which was revealed the Qur’an, a guidance for mankind and clear proofs for the guidance and the criterion (between right and wrong). So whoever of you sights (the crescent on the first night of) the month (of Ramadan i.e. is present at his home), he must observe fasts that month… [al-Baqarah 2:185]
The Prophet (saaws) used to tell his Companions the good news of the onset of Ramadan, and urge them to make the most of it.
Abu Hurayrah (saaws) said: “The Messenger of Allah (saaws) said,
There has come to you Ramadan, a blessed month. Allah has made it obligatory on you to fast (this month). During it the gates of Paradise are opened and the gates of Hell are locked, and the devils are chained up. In it there is a night that is better than a thousand months, and whoever is deprived of its goodness is deprived indeed. [Reported by al-Nisaa'i, 4/129; Saheeh al-Targheeb, 1/490]
And verily for everything that a slave loses there is a substitute, but the one who loses Allah will never find anything to replace Him.” [Related by Ibn al-Qayyim in ad-Dâ' wad-Dawâ Fasl 49]

Since fasting is no ordinary act of worship, the potential rewards are exceptional. The Prophet (SalAllahu Alayhi WaSalam) said :
Allah says, 'All the deeds of the son of Adam are for him: the good deeds will be multiplied ten times to seven hundred times, except fasting, which is for Me and I will reward for it accordingly. He abandons his (sexual) desire, food and drink for Me.'
[Sahih Muslim]
Are we those who are ready for the exceptional reward?
Re: The Official Ramadan Thread. Ramadan 1430 A.H/August 2009
Bro ramadan is the month of Quran , Try to read lots n not just read , try to ponder over its meanings , its beautiful
Ibn Abi Mulaykah narrated:
"'Ikrimah bin Abi Jahl used to press the Mushaf to his face and cry, saying: "The Book of my Lord! The Words of my Lord!""
[Reported by 'Abdullah bin al-Mubarak in 'al-Jihad'; # 56]
Lots n lots of repentence n making istighfaar , pray at night , n seek knowledge , knowledge about this month n the bounties of this month n know what a big loser is the one who is blessed with this month yet is not forgiven,
For me one unforgetable ramadan would have to be 2006 when i prayed at the mosque where Salah Bu Khatir leads in ramadan , i got to pray behind him the whole ramadan n the way he recited quran that year was just amazing , n i had just got back from Umrah like a couple of months before ramadan , so AlhumdolILLAh i benefited a lot.
Unfortunately all the stuff of salah bu khatir like videos n audio on youtube or his complete Mushaf on the net is older , the videos are like 2005 or even 04 n the Mushaf is pretty old, last few years n specially 2006 was just amazing.
How perfect You are O Allaah, and I praise You. I bear witness that none has the right to be worshipped except You. I seek Your forgiveness and turn to You in repentance
Re: The Official Ramadan Thread. Ramadan 1430 A.H/August 2009
it starts on Saturday, 3 more days to go and Muslims start behaving like Muslims and lets hope this time it doesn't end with Ramadaan.
If Allah helps you, none can overcome you; and if He forsakes you, who is there after Him that can help you? And in Allah (Alone) let believers put their trust.
Surah Ale Imran : 160
It was narrated that Anas ibn Maalik (may Allaah be pleased with him) said:
The Prophet (blessings and peace of Allaah be upon him) climbed up Uhud, accompanied by Abu Bakr, ‘Umar and ‘Uthmaan, and the mountain shook with them. He struck it with his foot and said: “Stand firm, O Uhud, for there is no one on you but a Prophet or a Siddeeq or two martyrs.”
Narrated by al-Bukhaari (3483)
Allah (Subhaanahu Wa Taala) does not inspire seeking forgiveness in a slave whom he wishes to punish.

Brothers and Sisters!
The fasting person's dua when he breaks his fast is not reject! [Ibn Majah]
And about suhoor: None of you should miss it even if it is a sip of water since Allah and his angels bless those who have the dawn meal! [Ahmad]
So please wake up for the dawn meal to eat and makes lots of dua throughout the day. InshaAllah!
Allahumma Inni as'aluka brirahmatika al-lati wasi-at kulla shayin an tagfira li.....O Allah, i ask you by Your mercy which envelopes all things, that You forgive me. [Ibn Abi Mulaykah]

May Allah reward u n bless you , I believe that ramadan all over the world can n cannot start n end on the same day , no doubt coz we are supposed to start the fast by the sight of the moon n do the eid by the sight of the moon n that can differ in diffrent parts of the world , but in the same country n even the same city or neighbouring countries it has to be on the same day , subhanAllah , its crazy how one city or one neighbourhood is having eid while another is fasting , we should fear Allah , SEEK KNOWLEDGE , SEEEK knowledge , stop follwoing our desires n opinions, it is not possible that in the same country on same city we differ on eid n ramadan , we need to check ourselfes. If some one in our city or country has spotted the moon n government declared eid we should be with the jamaah.
check an article by the name of Ramadan the month of unity that i posted in this thread a few days ago or so , its important n inshahAllah u will benefut bro.
Plus u are promoting salah al haajat , but u should get the facts about it , there is no such salah proved from the prophet sala lahu alihi wa sallam n his companions n Allah knows best.

Re: The Official Ramadan Thread. Ramadan 1430 A.H/August 2009
^come on now, this point can he argued forever. I mean the hadeeth says to sight the moon, so that's what u gotta do. If your country doesn't sight the moon but starts Ramadan, should you just abandon the hadeeth and do the wrong thing?
And also what counts as local? Like America is HUGE with 300+million people, the whole thing is not your locality. No way.

Brothers and Sisters!
Please let us not concentrate on the issues of starting Ramadhan on different day. Concentrate on our unity...
Let use think about the big task ahead, the real task ahead. Think about this......
........It was narrated that Abu Hurayrah (may Allaah be pleased with him) said: The Messenger of Allaah (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said: “There may be people who fast and get nothing from their fast except hunger, and there may be those who pray qiyaam and get nothing from their qiyaam but a sleepless night."
Do we want our fast and prayers to be accepted?
Think about this.....
.......It was narrated that Abu Hurayrah (may Allaah be pleased with him) said: The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) ascended the minbar and said: “Ameen,ameen, ameen.” It was said: ‘O Messenger of Allaah, you ascended the minbar and said, ‘Ameen, ameen, ameen.” He said: “Jibreel (peace be upon him) came to me and said: ‘If Ramadaan comes and a person is not forgiven, he will enter Hell and Allaah will cast him far away. Say Ameen.’ So I said Ameen.He said: ‘O Muhammad, if both or one of a person’s parents are alive and he does not honour them and he dies, he will enter Hell and Allaah will cast him far away. Say Ameen.’ So I said Ameen. He said: ‘If you are mentioned in a person’s presence and he does not send blessings upon you and he dies, he will enter Hell and Allaah will cast him far away. Say Ameen.’ So I said Ameen.”
We need to get our intentions right, we need to be proactive throughout the month. We are all sinful, we all need to get our sins forgiven. Come on brothers and sisters....For surely the reward will come inshaAllah....
............This month inshaAllah will be the start of something unforgetable!!!!!!!
