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

(Hadhrat Moulana Muhammad Zakariyyah 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

Sayyiduna Ja'far RA
This is the tomb of Sayyiduna Ja'far, the cousin of Rasūlallāh ﷺ and the elder brother of Sayyiduna 'Ali. There were 5 people in Makkah who physically looked like the Prophet ﷺ and Sayyiduna Ja'far was one of them. With love in his heart and joy in his heart, the Beloved ﷺ told him, 'You resemble me physically and in your character.'
He was from the first migrants in Islam who traveled to Habasha so they could practice the religion without oppression. It was Sayyiduna Ja'far who recited the Quran to the King of Habasha and presented Islam to him without distortion, fear or any inferiority. The Muslims were never ashamed of their religion and they never watered it down to please others. Sayyiduna Ja'far was later martyred in Mutah whilst piercing through the Byzantine army in modern day Jordan whilst carrying the banner of Islam. Sayyiduna Jibril informed Rasūlallāh ﷺ whilst he was still in Madinah and it was one of the hardest moments of his blessed life. He wept and told his Sahaba that he had seen Sayyiduna Ja'far flying in paradise with the angels. رضي الله عنه
