Assalamu alaikum All, 

The Khutba given by the Prophet (S) regarding Ramadan -baihaqi
----------------------------
"O People! The month of Allah (Ramadan) has come with its mercies, blessings and forgiveness. Allah has decreed this month the best of all months. The days of this month are the best among the days and the nights are the best among the nights and the hours during Ramadan are the best among the hours.

This is a month in which you have been invited by Him (to fast and pray). Allah has honoured you in it. In every breath you take is a reward of Allah, your sleep is worship, your good deeds are accepted and your invocations are answered.

Duas for forgiveness

The Prophet Muhammad said, the one who repents for a sin is like the one who has not committed a sin (al-Bayhaqi and Ibn Majah). Peace and blessings be upon him.

Ramadan, according to one Hadith, is divided into three parts. Its beginning is mercy, its middle is forgiveness and its end is freedom from the Hellfire. As we are currently in the days of forgiveness, we thought it would be worthwhile to share a couple of supplications (Duas) from the Quran and Hadith whereby we can ask God's forgiveness. We have also included some suggested Duas of our own that you can use at the bottom of this article.

From the Quran

Rabbanaa faghfir lana thunoobana wa kaffir 'anna sayyiaatinaa wa tawaffanaa ma 'al abraar.

The Aadaab Of Seeking Knowledge..

published by Hummus on 1 August, 2011 - 15:38

There are some points to be taken into consideration when setting out to seek knowledge:

1. Have the correct intention. The Prophet Muhammad(S) said: 'All actions are based on intentions and for every person is what he intends'.

2. Stay away from sins. The story of Imam Shaf'ee is essential. When he complained to his teacher about his weak memory, his teacher advised him to 'leave sins' and not long after he became a renowned figure in Islam.

3. Act upon what you have learnt. It is said 'Knowledge without action is like a load with no carrier'. What benefit is this to anyone? If you can not practise upon your own knowledge, what will others learn from you?

A Muslim Female Role Model

We all desire to be something or someone better. It is human nature to be dissatisfied with oneself. Our efforts to enhance our lifestyles are limitless. We are always looking for new ways to improve ourselves. However, we have channel our desires to excel in a certain direction. We should ask ourselves, if there was someone I wanted to imitate who would it be? Who could we take as an example, a standard to measure ourselves against? Would it be the stick thin models of today, who do not even have the common sense to realise they are being exposed and disposed of whenever it suits the fashion industry? Or would it be the Bollywood stars, who are not even recognisable for their acting skills, but rather their parents were legends in this industry of idol worship?...
