What made you HAPPY today? :D

Bilan —

Simple as that folks..what made you HAPPPY today?

Was it being the first in the lunch que? Was it because you bought that thing that you had your eye on for aaaages? OR...maybe you met a friend that you hadn't seen in years? Alright the examples may not be aall that but but that fine. Ya get the picture Im sure, were all smart enough here (yes I AM talking to you).It doesn't have to be all that, but then again, if it made you happy I guess it WAS.

Wanted to make this topic ages ago actually, but just kept forgetting. What made me happy that day? I got the most aewsome planner thats what! 😃 Not JUST ur average of the rack planner ladies and gents. It has (ya ready...?) polka dots on a turqoise background! All that for £1 from dear old Poundland! :shock: (I knw I couldnt believe it myself)

I mean if THAT doesnt make someone happy I dnt knw WHAT will!

So yh..pretty happy with that I was.

Also I went to the mosque in Regents park today (for those living in London. For those that dnt...its a mosque in Regents Park..in London (what more can I say? Google's ya friend?)

So yup! went there today (first time 😃 ). Ive been wanting to for ages as well. But anyhoo... Was actually supposed to go there for a talk.. that didn't actually take place! (Friend must have got her wires crossed Im thinking)

So..if the talk didn't happen, whats there to be happy about I hear you ask. Weeelll....that same mosque has a bookshop! (you get it now dont ya?) So I go to check it out as u do of course. It was a really nice bookshop actually mashAllah. Had lots of stuff, so it was all good. I bought a few things:

1) Lifes and times of the messengers by Ibn Katheer
2) Dua- the weapon of the believer by Abu Ammar Yasir Qadhi
3)Riyad-us-Saliheen volume 1 and 2 (they come as a pair cos I only took 1 to the cashier first lol!) This is a commentary on ahadeeth by Al Imam Abu Zakariya Yahya bin Sharaf An-Nawawi Ad-Dimasqi
4) When the Moon SPlit- bio of the prohet(saw). Was going to get the Nectar's seal but then I saw this and it looked better so...

So far they look good but Ill keep u posted if ur interested in gettin one of them.

Alright then! I hope you people actually do post (NOT for the sake of posting) but just finding little things here and there that put a 🙂 or 😃 on that face of urs, which-ever.

That'll be all 😃

"YUMMY, YUMMY" went there yesterday 😃 there were sweets everywhere and they were all halal 🙂 plus candy floss, slush puppies, cakes and more sweets.  I literally felt like a kid in a candy store 😃 

i think i ruined my tongue from all those sour sweets...so worth it. Didn't even bring any home, i tried but it was too hard to resist.

Sorry for posting in the wrong thread - I tried to register myself and start a new topic but for some reason my submission wouldnt be accepted and some spam message kept coming up..

But what made me happy today is that tomorrow Inshallah it will be 15th Shabaan and I have just received messages from my friends saying that they will accompany me to the local mosque for a mehfil. This has made me really happy as for the past few years, I have struggled to make my close loved ones aware of the significance of the 15th Shabaan. (Admin i would really appreciate it if a thread could be started for this, just so we could share ideas of what forms of ibadat we could do on this night).

Thank you!

15th Shabaan

Before Maghrib – How to welcome this night:

You should perform fresh Ghusal and Wudhu and perform the two Rakaat of Tahhiyatul Wudhu. In every Rakaat, after the Suratul Fatiha, you should read Ayatul Kursi once and Surah Ahad three times.

What to recite after sunset:

After sunset, you should recite "La Hawla walaa Quwwata illa Billahil-aliyil Azeem" forty times with three times Durood Shareef before and after. It is mentioned that by reciting this, Almighty Allah will forgive forty years of your sins.

NAFIL SALAAH TO BE READ ON Night of 15th Shaban Laylatul Baraa'ah (Urdu Shab-E-Baraat )



BASHARAT OF JANNAT: Sayyiduna Rasulullah (sallal laahu alaihi wasallam) is reported to have said that Allah Ta'ala instructs and assigns 100 angels to the person who performs 100 Nafil Salaahs on this auspicious night - 30 of which will bring the good news of Jannat, 30 angels to protect one from the Azaab (Punishment) of Dozakh (Hell), 30 to remove all misfortunes and miseries of this world and 10 angels to protect one from Shaitaan.



THE GUARDING OF IMAAN: After performing Maghrib Salaah, read 2 rakaahs of Nafil. In the first rakaah, after Surah Fatiha, recite Surah Ikhlaas 3 times and Surah Falaq once. In the second rakaah, after Surah Fatiha, recite Surah Ikhlaas 3 times and Surah Naas once. After Salaam, make Du'a and ask Allah to protect your Imaan.



BARAKAH IN RIZQ: After Maghrib Salaah, read 2 rakaahs of Nafil. Thereafter, read Surah Yasin once, Surah Ikhlaas 21 times and Du'a Nisf Shabaan once. Then, make Du'a for Barakah in Rozi and ask Allah not to make you dependent on anyone.



LONG LIFE FILLED WITH PIETY: After Maghrib Salaah, read 2 rakaahs of Nafil. Read Surah Yasin once. Then read Du'a Nisf Shabaan once. Thereafter, make Du'a for long life filled with piety and righteousness.



REWARD FOR TEN THOUSAND GOOD DEEDS: Anyone who performs 20 rakaahs of Nafil after Maghrib in such a way that after Surah Fatiha, recites Surah Ikhlaas 10 times in every rakaah, will be rewarded abundantly by Allah Ta'ala, and ten thousand good deeds will be recorded in his Amal Namaa (Book of Deeds).





The performing of Salaatul Tasbeeh on this night is also very virtuous.
