Salaams,
I thought I or someone else had posted a vid of a recitation of Surah Yusuf, but when I tried searching for it but couldn't. (instead I came across that old topic I bumped up - so no I wasn't just wasting time, looking through old topics! )

Anyway I wanted to share a part of the introduction of Surah Yusuf, which is in my Quran:

"The prophet Muhammad Peace be Upon Him said: Every religion has a distinct characteristic and the distinct characteristic of Islam is Modesty."
 
"Allah will never humiliate the one who takes his Lord as a friend and patron." Ibn Qayyim Al Jawziyyah
 
So if you feel humiliated - try harder to get closer to your Lord

Tonight is 25th of Ramadan, So cover your night with alots of Ibaadah:

*Recitation of the Ouran.
*Praying Nafl,
*Remembrance of Allah or zikr,
*Supplication or Dua for youself and Muslim Ummah,
*Reading books of Hadith so as to enjoy the sayings of Prophet Muhammad (salallahu 3allahi wasalam),
*Reading Tafseer of Quran.
*Explain islamic stuff to ur family / Parents Specially teach them the Dua :

Oh Allah! You are most forgiving & You love to forgive so forgive me!

اللهم إنك عفوٌ تحب العفو فاعف عني

Not long left now, but guess what? Its results day very soon.

(Sorry to break the news and remind you).

There's some of us, who are dying of excitement and who can't wait.
 
But there's those who are worried sick
 
And don't even want to go to collect them.
 
But with me, i just feel nothing at all.
 
I don't think i have a 'feeling' towards my results.
 
Yet, i had a nightmare about them today!
 
I don't know if i'm supposed to be thinking about them so much,
 
I tend not to though.
 
I think i have other things on my mind.

There was a Christian who embraced Islam and read Surat-al-Baqara and Al-Imran, and he used to write (the revelations) for the Prophet (SAW). Later on he returned to Christianity again and he used to say: "Muhammad (SAW) knows nothing but what I have written for him." Then Allah caused him to die, and his people buried him, but in the morning they saw that the earth had thrown his body out. They said, "This is the act of Muhammad and his companions. They dug the grave of our companion and took his body out of it because he had run away from them." They again dug the grave deeply for him, but in the morning they again saw that the earth had thrown his body out. They said, "This is an act of Muhammad and his companions.

Oh Allah! You are most forgiving & You love to forgive so forgive me!

اللهم إنك عفوٌ تحب العفو فاعف عني

"Allahumma innaka `afuwwun, tuhibbul-`afwa, fa`fu `anni "

Aaishah said: “‘O Messenger of Allaah, if I know which night is Laylat al-Qadr, what should I say on that night?

He said, ‘Say: Allaahumma innaka ‘afuwwun tuhibb al-‘afwa fa’affu ‘anni (O Allaah, You are forgiving and You love forgiveness, so forgive me).”

Mohammed "Mo" Farah has won a second Olympic gold for Team GB - first in the 10,000m race and now in the 5,000m race.

He is one of the few (seven?) that have won gold at both races at the olympics and in an event that great britain generally struggles at.

for the sake of Allah.

The last 10 days of Ramadan are the most blessed & we should increase our Worship & Devotion:

"Allah's Messenger used to exert himself in devotion during the last ten nights to a greater extent than at any other time." (Muslim).

"Aisha (Ra) reported: With the start of the last ten days of Ramadan, the Prophet (Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam) used to tighten his waist belt (i.e. work harder) and used to pray the whole night, & used to keep his family awake for the prayers" (Bukhari)

This is a dedication for Jalal ad-Din Muhammad Rumi.

The works of Rumi are marvelled at throughout the world, long after he had passed away. Have you ever heard of him? Do you know much about him? What legacy did he leave behind and why have millions been inspired by him?

Here, I'd like you to mention anything you know about him and his family. It would be even better if you shared examples of the beautiful words, quotes, poetry and prose that he wrote and what you like about them.
