The best day of sadaqa is Jumuah

Jumuah Mubarak to our dear brothers and sisters.

Occurring in one of the last 10 nights of Ramadan, Laylatul Qadr is a gift from Allah the Exalted, a night that holds the potential to radically change our lives.

A mostmagnificent night "better than a thousand months" when even the Angels seek permission to descend from the heaves due to immense divine blessings that Allah has placed on Earth (Quran 97:3).

It is on this night that our destiny for the upcoming year - encompassing our deeds, lifespan, and sustenance - is meticulously ordained. Engaging in worship during this sacred night has the power to reshape ourfate. SubhanAllah!

Our past can be forgiven, our present can be blessed, and our future can be illuminated so we can start afresh with renewed faith and devotion. It is a night when our prayers are answered, our hearts are softened, and our souls are rejuvenated.

Knowledge of when Laylatual Qadr is has been lost, but theBeloved Prophet, peace and blessings upon him, has taught us to seek forgiveness on this blessed night. 

O Allah, You are pardoning. You love to forgive, so forgive me.

Tirmidhi

Ask Al Afuww - TheMost Forgiving, The Effacing - to wipe out sins and to remove calamity from our fate on each of those last 10 nights.

No matter the magnitude of our past transgressions or the paths we have wandered, the limitless mercy of Allah the Exalted stretches out like an infinite ocean, inviting us to immerse ourselves completely.

"O son of Adam, so long as you call upon Me and ask of Me, I shall forgive you for what you have done, and I shall not mind. O son of Adam, were your sins to reach the clouds of the sky and were you then to ask forgiveness of Me, I would forgive you. O son of Adam, were you to come to Me with sins nearly as great as the earth and were you then to face Me, ascribing no partner to Me, I would bring you forgiveness nearly as great asit." 

Hadith Qudsi

This is also a night of unparalleled power so make abundant and "big" du'a (supplication) for your every need, for our dear Ummah, for the oppressed.

Don't confine theInfinite One who is without limits. 

With Allah as Al Qadir, the All-Powerful, the Omnipotent, nothing is beyond His grasp. Let us take solace in the unwavering truth that He possesses the sublime power to transform the seemingly impossible into reality.

Let us strive to be soaked in the mercy of Allah theExalted, seeking His forgiveness, guidance, and blessings. Take true advantage of every night by exerting ourselves just like the Beloved Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, to find Laylatul Qadr.

Stay tuned in the coming days as we share du'as for istighfar (seeking forgiveness) and some tips on worship to do in the last 10 nights.
