On Thursday nights our respected Shaykh usually advises those present to do the following actions in order to gain maximum benefit from the blessed day of Friday.
Salaat and Salaam
“As soon as one completes the Maghrib Salaah on Thursday night he should begin to increase the recitation of Salaat and Salaam upon the Prophet sallallaahu ‘alayhi wasallam.
On Friday one should increase the quantity of Salaat and Salaam read. An apt number would be to aim to recite Durood 300 times daily, and increase it to 1000 times on Friday.
Holding a tasbeeh (rosary) constantly will help facilitate one in achieving this target.
Surah Dukhan
One should recite this Surah every Thursday night (i.e. anytime after Maghrib on Thursday). It is mentioned in a hadeeth that
Whosoever recites Surah Dukhan on the night of Jumu’ah, Allah will build a palace in Jannah for him. (Ibn Hibban)
Surah Kahaf
One should also recite this Surah every Friday. It is mentioned in a hadeeth that the one who recites this Surah every Friday will be protected from the trails of the Dajjal.
If one finds the Surah too long or too difficult to recite, then one should start by reciting one page weekly. Once one is able to recite one page fluently then he should increase it to two pages.Over time the Surah will become easier to recite and one will eventually be able to recite the entire Surah weekly.
Early to the Masjid
One should try to go as early as possible to the Masjid. Along with being the Sunnah of the Prophet sallallaahu ‘alayhi wasallam going early to the Masjid on a Friday holds great virtue.
Precious Time
This time between the Asar and Maghrib prayers on Friday is very blessed. One should value this time, and if possible, he should spend this entire period in the Masjid.If this is not possible then he should come early for the Maghrib Salaah and engage himself in worship. The last few minutes before the Maghrib Adhaan is called should ideally be spent in making dua.”
My Faiths Goal
May Allah Ta’ala grant us His Love and the Love of Rasulullah (sallallahu alayhi wasallam) , such that it becomes easy to give up all sins and submit to His Obedience. May He protect us all from the mischief of nafs and Shaytaan. May He fill our hearts with Love, Adab, Akhlaq and Sabr for this beautiful Deen and inspire us in being a practical and good Muslims and be true role-models to our community.
"I want to die with my forehead on the ground,the sunnah in my heart,Allah on my mind, the Quran on my tongue & tears in my eyes."
Remember
Through the Zikr of Allah Ta’ala one may achieve recognition and Maarifat of Allah Ta’ala.

Light of Dawn
I wake with the light of the dawn whispering with joy in my heart and with praise on my lips. In stillness and twilight i stand before you bowing, prostating i call Allahu (swt).
My eyes see your beauty in the dawn's golden hues. My ears hear the thunder as it gloriies you. The rhythm of my heart beats the sound of your name. My breaths rise and fall with the tide of your praise. My soul knew and loved you before i was born and without your mercy is lost and fortorn.
Wherever i may wonder down the pathways of life, my cry to you Allah (swt), is "guide me to ligfht" through all fear and helpness, to you do i turn for your breath of healing and peacedo i yearn. For all that i have , my Allah (swt) all that i am is from you, is for you and to you will return. Inshallah
