Read Imam Ghazali
Daily Ramadan Livestreams on Youtube at 6pm EDT
Ramadan 2024
The Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, said,
When you stand for your prayer,pray as if you are saying farewell."
Sunan Ibn Majah 4169
How are you praying these nights?
Approach the salah (prayer) with a sense of urgency and mindfulness, as if bidding farewell to this world andstanding before our Creator with utmost reverence and humility.
Immerse yourself in the remembrance of Allah the Exalted, recite the Quran with contemplation, and pour our hearts out in sincere supplication.
As Imam Kemal mentioned earlier in today's livestream, some ulama (scholars) think that this night may be Laylatul Qadr due to it being an odd night and falling on a Friday.
Regardless of whether it is, give it its due right.
In this blessed night, accompany your acts of worship with the kind gift of charity.
We humbly ask you to make our mission YOUR mission and sustain our efforts to be a beacon of light where all of humanity can turn to and learn traditional and authentic knowledge to make a true change in both this life and the afterlife.
Imagine how your kind gift can be the means of guidance to this student seeking to take the New Muslims Program.

Read Imam Ghazali's Inner Dimensions of Islamic Worship
Recommended from Ustadh Tariq to prepare oneself for Ramadan.
Elevate your prayer by reading and reflecting on the work of the great Imam Ghazali as he leads the reader in a most powerful and inspiring way to enhance the inner quality of their worship.
Here's a short excerpt from p.47
Then you go down in prostration. This is the highest level of submission, for you are bringing the most precious part of your body, namely your face, down to meet the most lowly of all things: the dust of the earth...When you place yourself in this position oflowliness, you should be aware that you belong there. You are restoring the branch to its root, for of dust you were created and to dust you shall return.

Make a du'a request
The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said,
No Muslim servant supplicates for his brother behind his back but that the angel says: And for you the same.
Sahih Muslim 2732
Add your du'a (supplication) to the Google Doc so that we all can make du'a for each other and the Angels can also say Ameen.
If you wish to take part, please feel free to add your dua in here.
May Allah the Exalted accept. Ameen.
