Poem: Finally

FinallyBy Amal Milaa FilzaOn my own, nowhere to go,Lost in this world,But I know you are here.When will I find you, my dear? Only you can ease my pain. Make this hurt disappear.So many sleepless nights,Imprisoned by Shaytaan, But I wont give up this fight. It’s you for who I long.I’m waiting for the strength to carry on.There is nothing in this Dunya that can replace your love. It’s been so many months,But now I can feel it.The end is near sight.Behind the blackness I can finally see the light. Bright up my view.Make me feel brand new.Blow away my fears.Ramadan is finally here....

Suggested program for the Muslim during Ramadan

Praise be to Allaah. May Allaah accept all our righteous words and deeds, and help us to be sincere in secret and in public. There follows a suggested program for the Muslim during this blessed month: The Muslim’s day in Ramadaan: The Muslim starts his day with suhoor before Fajr prayer. It is better to delay suhoor until the latest possible time of the night. Then after that the Muslim gets ready for Fajr prayer before the adhaan. So he does wudoo’ at home and goes out to the mosque before the adhaan. When he enters the mosque, he prays two rak’ahs (tahiyyat al-masjid – greeting the mosque). Then he sits and keeps...

Time Management Tips for Ramadan

“Ramadhan has arrived to you, a month of barakah (blessings), Allaah envelops you (with His mercy & blessings),  so He descends His mercy, erases the sins, answers your du3aas, and He watches your competition in virtuous deeds and He boasts in front of the angels about you.
