THEY WILL BREAK THEIR FAST WITH

 WHAT ALLĀH HAS PREPARED FOR THEM

Whoever guards their tongue from filthy speech and false statements, their private parts from what Allāh has forbidden, their hand from engaging in what it is not permitted for it to engage in, their foot from walking towards anything except what is pleasing to Allāh, their hearing from what is forbidden to listen to, their sight from what it is forbidden to look at - and they use their limbs in the obedience of Allāh and in that which is allowed, and they guard them and preserve them until Allāh takes their soul - then they will break their fast with what Allāh has prepared for those who obey Him from eternal bliss and magnificent bounty, which cannot be truly grasped nor elaborated upon.

A SECRET BETWEEN THE SERVANT AND HIS LORD

 

A SECRET BETWEEN 

THE SERVANT AND HIS LORD

Verily, the fasting person can be alone in an uninhabited place and he is able to eat what Allāh has forbidden him from due to the fast, and he does not eat because he knows that he has a Lord Who sees him when alone. Allāh has forbidden him from this and he abandons it, fearing His punishment and desiring His reward. Due to this, Allāh rewards him for his sincerity, and He specifically singles out his fast for Himself from of the other actions. This is why He said: 

"He forsakes his food and his desires for My sake."

WELCOMING THE MONTH OF RAMADĀN

WELCOMING THE MONTH OF RAMADĀN

A month of good and blessings, a month of fasting and prayer, a month of mercy, forgiveness and emancipation from the Fire. A month of generosity, kindness, giving, spending, doing good and benevolence. 

The Messenger of Allāh (ﷺ) would give glad tidings to his companions of the arrival of this great month. He would encourage them to exert themselves with righteous deeds from the obligations and the supererogatory acts, such as prayer, charity, showing goodness and benevolence, patience upon the obedience of Allāh, filling one's day with the fast and night with prayer, and occupying one's blessed time with remembrance, thanks, glorification of Allāh, saying Lā Ilāha Illa Allāh [none has the right to be worshipped except Allāh] and reciting the Qur'ān.

WHEN A SERVANT COMMITS A SIN

 

WHEN A SERVANT COMMITS A SIN 

The Prophet ﷺ said: 

إن العبد إذا أخطأ خطيئة نكتت في قلبه نكتة سوداء فإذا هونزع وتستغفر وتاب سقل قلبه وإن عاد زيد فيها حتى تعلو قلبه وهو الران الذي ذكر الله: كلا بل ران على قلوبهم ما كانوا يكسبون

“When a servant commits a sin, a black dot is placed upon his heart. If he withdraws from it, seeks forgiveness, and repents, then his heart is cleansed. But if he returns to it then it is increased until it consumes his heart.*

This is the Rān (stain of covering) that Allāh has mentioned:‎ 

{كَلَّا ۖ بَلْ ۜ رَانَ عَلَىٰ قُلُوبِهِم مَّا كَانُوا يَكْسِبُونَ (١٤)}

“Nay! But on their hearts is the Rān (covering of sins and evil deeds) which they used to earn.”

[Sūrah al-Mutaffifīn 83:14]”

Benefit: Shaʿbān Is the Month of the Reciters

Benefit: Shaʿbān Is the Month of the Reciters

Shaykh ʿAbd al-Razzāq al-ʿAbbād (حفظه الله) 

“Make a habit of reciting the Qurʾān and pondering upon it in Shaʿbān, for the soul is upon that which it has contracted habitually. The salaf used to say when the month of Shaʿbān entered: ‘This is the month of the reciters.’”

The Difference Between Ar-Rahman and Ar-Raheem

The Difference Between Ar-Rahman and Ar-Raheem

بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم

Sheikh Muhammad ibn Salih Al Uthaymin said,

Ar-Rahman: The possessor of vast mercy.

Ar-Raheem: The granter of mercy to whomever He wills.

The difference between the two is that the first relates to the existence of mercy as a description for Him, whereas the second is related to it being an action of His, as He grants (or bestows) mercy to whomever He wills from His creation. [شرح لمعة الاعتقاد]

Sheikh Abdur Razzaq ibn Abdil Muhsin Al Abbad said,

Ar-Rahman: He to whom which mercy is a description.

Ar-Raheem: The doer of the action of being merciful to His servants, for this reason the Exalted says:

“And with the believers He is most merciful (رحيمًا) ” [Al-Ahzab: 43]

“..certainly He is to them full of Kindness, Most Merciful (رحيمٌ)” [At-Taubah: 117]

So Ar-Rahman is on a (certain) scale (in the Arabic language related to morphology) that indicates a permanent, inseparable, and perfect attribute. In other words; from His attributes is mercy. Whereas Ar-Raheem indicates the spreading of mercy to those whom it is bestowed upon. Meaning those who received mercy via (His) action. [فقه الأسماء الحسنى]
