Free Session on Saturday
Jumuah Mubarak to our dear brothers and sisters.
Laylatul Qadrthe Night of Decreeis a divine gift from Allah, the Most Exalted. A night "better than a thousand months" (Qur'an 97:3), when even the angels and Jibril seek permission to descend upon us.
The Beloved Prophet taught us to seek forgiveness on this night with the beautiful supplication:
O Allah, You are Pardoning. You love to forgive, so forgive me.
(Tirmidhi)
This is anight of unparalleled powerso ask. Ask with hope that knows no despair, and ask with a heart that trusts in His promise. Ask without limitsfor your needs, your family, and your loved ones. Ask for the sick to be healed, the broken to be made whole, and the weary to be granted ease. Ask for our Ummahfor the oppressed to be liberated, for the suffering to find relief, and for the scattered to be united. Ask big. Let your duasrise higher than your fears, fueled by the certainty that Allahs mercy is greater than your sins.
Do not confine Al-Qadirthe All-Powerfulto the smallness of your imagination. The One who created the heavens and the earth with a single word, who split the sea for Musa and made the fire cool for Ibrahim , can part the difficulties in your life and extinguish your trials.He is the One who says:
Be, and it is. (Quran 36:82)
Nothing is beyond His graspno dream too distant, no wound too deep, no sin too great. He transforms the impossible into reality with divine ease.
So,as these final nights of Ramadan embrace us, let us strive our utmost with every breath and every heartbeat.
Ya Allah, let us not leave these nights and this blessed month of Ramadan without having been forgiven, our evil deeds turned into good deeds, and our hearts purified. Liberate us from the fire, elevate our status in this world and the Hereafter,and relieve the oppression within the Ummah. Grant us strength and unity in our collective journey, and shower us with mercy that covers our past, heals our present, and guides our future. May we emerge from this month with hearts filled with hope, faith, and renewed commitment to Your path.
Ameen.
