Words of Wisdom
Alhumdulilah, we are approaching the month of Ramadan, and one of the best things we can do is increase making dua to Allah. Never underestimate the impact and power of dua. Through dua and working hard, Ramadan can be a transformative month for us all. We ask Allah to make us among those who are entered into jannatul firdaws and freed from the fire of health during this blessed month. May Allah make our fasting, prayers, and all of our actions easy for us, and may He accept from us all. Ameen.
Hadeeth of the Day
It was narrated that 'Arfajah said; 'We visited 'Utbah bin Farqad (when he was ill), and we talked about the month of Ramadan. He said, 'What are you talking about?' We said:
'The month of Ramadan. He said: "I heard the Messenger of Allah say: In it, the gates of Paradise are opened, and the gates of the Fire are closed, and the devils are chained up, and a caller calls out every night: O doer of good, proceed; O doer of evil, desist!"'
Al-Nasai andAl-Tirmidhi
