Whosoever has Allah in his heart, His helper in both worlds is Allah, And whoever has other than Allah in his heart, His opponent in both worlds is Allah."
Mawlana Jalaluddin Rumi (ra)

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.
(Hadhrat Moulana Muhammad Zakariyyah rahmatullahi ‘alayh)


"if one lives for Allah alone love and peace would prevail in this world. When one is inspired by this,then whatever one does becomes devotion to Allah."
(Khwaja Nizamuddeen Auliya rahmatullahi ‘alayh)



'Allah will aid a servant of His so long as the servant aids his brother.'
- Sahih Muslim

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

AN HOUR ON FRIDAY



There is a special hour on Friday, during which all prayers are accepted and answered by Allah(swt), all Glory and Praise be to Him. This is part of the blessings that Allah(swt) has blessed this day with, over all the other days of the week.

Aby Hurayrah narrated that the Prophet (saw) said:

"On Friday, there is an hour during which, if any Muslim is standing in front of Allah in salat, and asking Allah for something good, he will be granted his request", Then he made a sign with his hands, showing that it was a very short period of time.
*al-Bukhari (935)

There are numerous opinions as to exact hour of Friday during which this occurs, but two opinions are the strongest:

• When the Imam sits down between the two khutbahs until the end of the khutbah
• After the Asr prayer until the Magrib prayer.

Ibn Al-Qayyim (a famous Sunni Islamic jurist, lived in (1292-1350CE / 691 AH- 751 AH) preferred the second over the first one. This because of the following hadith:
* Zad-Al-maad 1/378-396

Friday has twelve hours (or part to it). There is one hour during which if a Muslim asks Allah anything, Allah will give it to him, so find it during the last hour after Asr.

Abu Dawud (#926 of Sahih al-Sunan) and AnNasaai (#1316 of Sahih al-Sunan)
